3. Biggest regret?

kellan: complacency. he resigned himself to an average merchant’s life at a young age, blindly following in his father’s footsteps, and not realizing how much more excitement he craved until he was almost dead

lysander: burdening his mother. he believes he ruined her life, and wants nothing more than to make up for it now that he can provide her with enough gold to live comfortably

valdris: endangering her mother. while operating a speakeasy out of her family’s inn kept them out of bankruptcy, it also put them at risk for worse consequences and valdris fears what happened to her mother after she joined the monastery to escape her criminal past

11. What is their favorite anime?

kellan: he’s a monster fucker so he loves devilman

lysander: one piece bc pirates

1. How many dead parents do they have?

kellan: only one! his dad was killed by the ruffians who captured and imprisoned him and his family when his hometown was under attack

lysander: unsure? his dad hasn’t been seen since before lysander was born and lysander isn’t interested in ever finding out if he’s dead or alive, plus the captain is lysander’s father figure now anyway

valdris: none! probably. her mom is missing and she’s never met her dad but her top priorities are to find her mom and meet her dad

2. How good are they at tongue twisters?

kellan: not good and he refuses to try because he doesn’t want to embarass himself

lysander: fuckin amazing, the boy might not be able to read but he can talk himself out of anything and never trips over his words

valdris: not great either, but she thinks it’s fun to mess up until she gets it right

6. What’s their theme song? 

kellan: “Why is that I’m keen to be devoured by you / When there’s the option of a love affair that’s pure and true / I always choose the dungeon over the sea view / It’s wrong but I want you tonight” fear & delight by the correspondents

lysander: “Mama said / It’s uphill for oddities / The stranger crusaders / Ain’t ever wannabes / The weird and the novelties / Don’t ever change / We wanted everything” high hopes by panic! at the disco

valdris: “Punch your lights out / Hit the pavement / That’s what I call entertainment / Causin’ problems makes you famous / All this violence makes a statement” lights out by mindless self indulgence

7. What fictional character are they most like? Was this an intentional or accidental influence?

kellan: I started by basing his personality on lotor but strayed from it a lot! their demeanor is still pretty similar though I think? he’s also similar to taako which is funny bc I hadnt even listened to taz before I made kellan, but they’re both ridiculous elven wizard boys

lysander: also made him before I was into taz but he’s kinda like magnus! ruff boi with a heart of gold and rogue abilities

valdris: not sure honestly! reminds me of flame princess a bit bc she’s a fire genasi but it’s nothing more than that really

8. Paper or plastic?

lysander and valdris would have reusable bags bc they’re environmentally conscious, but kellan would get plastic and keep all the bags to reuse for random things

18. Would they rather fight a hundred duck-sized horses, or one horse-sized duck?
