Rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc).

4. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? "Oh I didn't know that far forward in my life. I wasn't born with a wyld hunt persay- Or that it was quite blurry, just a nonsensical echo. I suppose that did eventually push me towards a pursuit of knowledge, though! Perhaps one day I will have the knowledge to unravel my wyld hunt. As a sapling all I wanted to do was catalog every new thing I could find, until I found out that these new things were, mostly, already discovered." 9. What’s your greatest achievement? Why do you consider this your greatest achievement? He thinks for a moment, woody brows furrowed. "Probably becoming a magister! It's no easy role to come into, Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll have even higher standing in the priory! I would do love to be an archon, I love getting my hands on new things." 10. What’s your biggest goal? How do you hope to achieve this?

some random facts about characters i don't use as often/post about often!

Aereus is a straight faced no-nonsense charr. She's very quick to irritate, especially if whoever she's with isn't listening or following instructions. Often considered very brash and abrasive to those who do not know her personally.

She tends to have a different face around friends, though will still joke at their expense at times if she knows they can take it and return fire for fair measure. Aereus can be quick to jump to statements of 'well we're doomed then' should one small thing go wrong, that said, that doesn't stop her diligently working towards making sure that doesn't happen, either.

Runa [Mordrem sylvari] was severely burnt by humans attempting to clear out the cave that he was hiding in, which caused his gnarled appearance on his left side; lacking the nutrients to fully repair his body, everything grew back not quite right and overcompensated, becoming quite brittle despite it's armoured appearance. more recently, with the proper care and nutrients, his left side is much stronger and durable than it was back then.

Runa's particular quirk is that he is a 'hydroid' meaning his severed or broken limbs will explosively repair themselves in interesting ways, usually by forming multiples of that body part [just thinner and more gangly the the replaced limb/tendrill] He's capable of having 2 arms [at the elbow] and 6 total tendrils in this way if all of his 'easily' severable limbs are damaged enough to warrant it. His leg, despite also being covered in the same slightly brittle bark armour, is not as prone to breaks or severs as his arm or tendrils. However, were his leg to be damaged, it would likely have the same formula as well! if the additional limbs/tendrils don't suit him after the fight, it's of no consequence for him to break them off at the point in which they branch and regrow the parts back normally; however this requires his focus and concentration that he wouldn't always have during combat.

Dion is a priory magister with a particular interest in helping students with disabilities. A kind hearted sole with a very serious switch when it's warranted, he lives for his work and finds the most joy out of assisting others and burying himself in his books and research outside of class. Prior to this, Dion was a mender and shaper in the grove, helping to rebuild sections of the tree and fix ailing sylvari. Within the last 7 years, he's overjoyed that he's able to extend his reach to helping outside of the grove as well.
