👜 - What does your character keep on them at all times? If I were to search them, what would I find? How would they feel if they didn't have these things?
👻 - What scares your character? How do they handle being confronted with their fears?
Itarata - his sword. He lost the one he's carried with him for centuries to the humans, and he's so mad about it. I think he probably carried his sword with him from Minyas. He also lost his bow, quiver, and armor, which he's also pretty upset about, but he doesn't carry those with him always. Angiel retrieved them for him, though he was using replacements for a bit there. He's very happy to have them back, but Esteldur - His sword also. Wedding ring, engagement necklace, among a rotating assortment of other jewelery. He ends up having a lot of random stuff in his pockets. He likes clothes with a lot of pockets, and he's consistently surprised by what ends up in them. Some of his clothes have random things in them from literal decades ago. A lot of half finished carving projects. I think he's less attached to his possessions than Itarata, and he's more likely to replace them, since it's the sentiment that matters, but he'd still grieve. I think he actually probably already lost the original engagement necklace in a pogrom-- he didn't replace it until Orontdrim were settled in Varnandë, with a stone local.
Anarissë - Ring, engagement necklace. She still has her original necklace, but she switched to one with a stone from the Great Mountains when Esteldur got a new one. They renewed their vows when they did. She carries a knife with her even though she lives in Varnandë and doesn't generally fight, mostly out of memory of humans in T'agavor denying the Lelyar the right to carry weapons, which of course led to them being slaughtered when the inevitable pogroms came. She would be very upset about losing her ring and necklace. Amuntiel - Almost always some sort of sewing project on her. She definitely always has thread and needles, as well as at least a few pairs of scissors, all of which were probably made by a friend I haven't named yet. She gave one of those pairs to Morwë. I think it probably had mother of pearl inlay. Morwë - At the onset of the civil war, nothing other than his uniform and his weapons, which were standard Revkian issue, nothing nice. His parents gave him a (nonprecious) stone from Minyas that they'd managed to keep over the centuries, as a good luck charm, but he had it stolen from him, which absolutely devastated him. From that point, he committed to having nothing personally precious, so it couldn't be used against him. He tried really hard to decline Amuntiel giving the pair of scissors, but she made the practical argument that he did need a pair of scissors if he was going to learn to sew. He would probably genuinely try to kill anyone who tried to take them from him. (He didn't have them on him when Mikhail kidnapped him because I'm not that mean.) Fears Esteldur - He's afraid of loss more than anything. He's already lost so much in his life, and he's terrified of losing anyone else. This is why he tries to not let people in, so he can't lose them. Anarissë - Losing people also. More focused on places and situations than people like Esteldur. (Or maybe that's the other way?) Itarata - Loss of control. He's always hated not having control, and it's been so much worse lately since he has, fairly seriously, actually lost it. Angiel - Also loss of control but with a slightly different flavor. Mikhail - Loss of control, more similar to Itarata than Angiel. Morwë - Making his own choices/being forced to acknowledge the fact that he's been making them this entire time. Ilmatar - Change, unpredictability.
