Also, when I started Xioni, I totally had pairings already in mind.
But the more I talk about Fey and Tori and their friendship and them being huge dorks together the more I’m thinkin’ I might ship my own OCs, and that was not the point of the story but it very much is the point, ya feel me?

I used to think Victoria is a terrifying ruthless force of nature but shes actually a huge angry nerd with superpowers i love
I mean, why not both???
She’s totally a terrifying force of nature that has had loyalty (at times literally) beaten into her and has huge envy issues and a monster crush on her childhood best friend, who is sometimes sympathetic but mostly just enjoys fucking with her because that’s what best friends do, even if they’re a little estranged.
But also TOTALLY a huge angry nerd who doesn’t see the point in frivolous things and gets Very Upset when things don’t go exactly to her plan and sometime murderous because superpowers. So usually, with most people, things go according to her plan.
Her friendship with Fey is very trying, and also hilarious. But, you know. Not to her.
Because Zeus did this for hers and I thought it was hilarious to think about: how some of my characters respond to unsolicited dick pics.
Fey - delete, never think about again, remind yourself that all parts of the human race are worth protecting, not just the bits you like.
Victoria - she’s found a way to send back an audio file of a song that forces the guy to not wear pants for a full month - any way he tries to cover his junk just sets itself on fire. The spell was deemed “legal” largely because anyone who would try to arrest her would A) have more sense than that and B) realistically worry that she’ll just cast it on them as well.
Nox - Shows it to Victor and laughs as he laments the fall of the greater purpose of technology and man in general.
Julie Dichen - sends back a selfie of a disgust face. If they press the issue, the next selfie she sends back is her blood-covered mace after a battle, getting her victim in the shot as well.
Samuel - prays for the man, that he may find healing, and then reports it to the proper authorities.
I wish you would write a fic where Julie keeps hacking into Victoria's devices and changing all the text strings into gibberish. Also changes all program icons into various pepe the frogs
“You can’t kill a cleric, Victoria,” Fey said, totally unimpressed with the situation and leafing through a gardening magazine. “They’re literally protected by a god.”
“Fuck the gods,” Victoria spat, clicking on icons wildly and launching apps she didn’t even remember installing. “Look at this? Is this even a language you know?”
Fey leaned over her crossed legs to stare at the long string of characters and symbols that has replaced every bit of relevant information in her device. “Maybe it’s a language the cleric knows?”
“This one looks like a face.”
Fey lingered, frowning. “Maybe it’s a picture language? Like hieroglyphics?”
“Maybe there should be a picture of me punching her smug asshole smile.” The faerie stood up, determined, and held her phone up to the sky. “I’m gonna call her.”
“How?” Fey said, her smirk betraying her usually deadpan straight face, “she changed all of your contact book names.”
“You are enjoying this,” Victoria glared, and Fey raised her magazine to hide her face and shrugged.
“She’s very clever.”
“How does someone who still wears twenty pounds of metal armor every day just in case an arrow tries to hit her even know how to hack a phone? Shouldn’t she be praying or something - oh. Oh yes. I got her.” Victoria turned the illuminated phone screen in victory. Fey squinted. “No one else would text me this.”
There was a string of emoticons on the screen, and some very elaborate faces made with parenthesis and the letter o. “I don’t think that’s conclusive,” she reasoned. “That could be lots of people.”
“I’m gonna call it.”
“You must do what you think is best. We all know you have excellent judgement-”
“Shut up, I’m gonna call it and it’s going to be her and I’m going to play her a nice little lullaby as a thank you.”
“Isn’t that abusing your power?” Fey teased as the phone rang.
“Technically, it’s retribution for disrespect, and that’s definitely allowed.”
“Ah, right, because we are a completely civilized society of magic users,” Fey muttered as Victoria shushed her. The voice that answered was male. Victoria stared in offense at the object. “Told you, wrong number.”
“Put Julie Dichen on the phone or so help me whatever-deity-you-choose, I will hunt you for the rest of your small and miserable mortal life,” Victoria growled into the bottom of the phone, to be met with nervous static.
“That escalated quickly,” Fey hummed innocently from her seat.
The nervous static was interrupted by a giggle and a distinctly peppy female voice crooning, “you’d have to catch me first, and, like, no offense, Tori, but I’m totally betting against you. I mean, your phone doesn’t even work right!”
“You-you-you-” Victoria sputtered, her violin clutched in her hand and forgotten in annoyed rage. “You are the worst.”
“I really think your internet phone is vastly affecting your personality and speech patterns,” Fey said from her seat. She considered her friend, fuming in the middle of the small cottage and turning a shade of breathless red. “Possibly for the worse.”
“OMG, Tori,” the phone sneered with joy, “I’m totally rubbing off on you! This is a great moment in our friendship! We’ve, like, leveled up! I feel so much closer to you!”
“Stop. Talking.” Victoria said through gritted teeth, and yet Julie prattled on.
“I know you’re a Big Bad Faerie and all, and I so so so sooo respect that because damn you guys wield some heavy fucking magical power, y’know? So, like, I don’t want to be on your bad side or anything, but also, you’re so funny when you get like this! And you know you’re gonna need me to patch you up again, so it’s only natural that we should strive to be friends, because I think it’d be really good for you. You know, to have positive energy in your life. And maybe some fashion help. Like, you can’t wear your uniform all day every day, you know? You gotta spruce it up a little! We’ll go shopping! There’s a great sale at-”
The phone crunched in Victoria’s hand, screen cracking, reinforced case buckling, electronics and wires and small memory cards shattering, severing, being reduced to dust. Julie’s voice on the other line fizzled and died into silence. Victoria’s bottom jaw set in front of her top row of teeth as she panted with concentrated effort of destroying the infernal device.
“That seems healthy,” Fey observed casually.
“Come on, I need to buy a new phone.” She put her violin away with a wave of her hand, and motioned towards the door.
“Why don’t you just buy them in bulk? You know she’s going to do it again.”
“No,” Victoria said, determined. “She’s not, because I’m going to find her, and I’m going to wipe her mind of ever meeting me or talking to me or knowing I exist.”
“Ah, yes, the reasonable solution to your problems,” Fey smirked, making her way towards the door. Victoria sulked out after her, frowning at the unjust necessity of technology in general and more specifically at surprisingly tech-savvy knowledge clerics.
A picture of her mother’s garden full of blooming tulips and hyacinths, from when she was a little girl. It was a sunny day and behind the rows of flowers you could just make out her father reading a book intently. It was a cookbook. The recipe still didn’t turn out edible.
9. Would they ever pirate stuff?
No. Mostly because she considers it immoral to not show your appreciation for a craft by paying for it. Partly because she doesn’t have any idea how to.
14. Would they ever send anon hate?
Never. If Fey wants to insult you, she’l do it to your face with her name attached to every word. None of this “anonymous” bullshit.
21. Would they ever make a dating website account, for fun or seriously? If yes, how would it go?
Totally has an OkCupid account. Completely serious but tries to play it off as a joke if anyone catches her. She’s not really happy with it - most people are either too intimidated to say anything, or too unaware to know they should be intimidated. Neither really appeals to her, but she keeps trying.
She gets a lot of the typical unwelcome “hey baby” messages that usually end with the sender following it up with “oh, crap, I’m sorry, forget I said that, I have nothing but the highest respect for you and your kind and holy shit please don’t, I don’t know, do whatever it is you guys do, I meant it as a compliment, it won’t happen again”, which, honestly, makes her smile a little with the sense of positive change in the online world (or at least the illusion of it).

So most of my characters that I really talk about are from the story I affectionately named Xioni. It’s a story that’s been 8 years in the making, on and off, and the premise is fairly simple. It follows a spaceship of societal rejects that was rigged to explode and tragically kill them all in an accident, but it didn’t happen because of an extra unexpected passenger who was able to save it. Then everyone in power starts doing the dance of “oh, they overcame it, what public heroes to not have fallen into the same tragedy as the other Explorer ships” while plotting in private on how the fuck to get rid of all of them asap.
Humans go off and colonize another galaxy in the distant future, far enough that Earth history is preserved but is usually regarded as possible myths rather than fact. Humans have developed magical powers and super awesome technology, so there’s been a few new races made. Most notably:
Faeries
Magicians
Androids
Faeries like Victoria and Fey are born with an innate possession of magic. They are sought out by other of their kind and taught to channel it through music and control it in ways specifically useful to the leader, Madame Organ. It is a chance thing about being born with the ability, and you can tell right away because their eyes are a nearly-glowing pink. If a faerie has a baby that is also by chance a faerie, that’s winning the jackpot twice and they are basically akin to a demigod. For that reason, among many others, faeries are exclusively female - though no one can prove that male faeries don’t get born, they certainly don’t make it long enough for anyone to know they exist. The last year of their mandatory education involves an operation to make sure they can never have children, so an all-powerful faerie cannot be born. (Coincidentally, Madame Organ has been leader of the faeries for many centuries. While their natural lifespan is that of a regular human, 140 years, if there is no suitably powerful heir to the position the magic will keep the current Madame alive until one is born and comes forward.)
Magicians like Nox are born with the capacity for magic. Their eyes are a muted purple. They also go to school, but it’s not nearly as barbaric. They learn a very technical side of magic and brew potions, create sigils, and require very precise hand movements to cast any forms of magic. There is a hierarchy within the magicians and all of them are forced to wear their rank in plain sight on their clothes and uniform. Most cutting-edge technology runs with the help of a Source, which is a certain level of magician, in addition to the technician for the mechanical components.
Androids are created when a robot is given free will. That generally involves an infusion of magic from a faerie’s innate reserve, which is a Big Deal because it’s basically sapping a portion of the faerie’s life force. For this reason, androids are created rarely and under very specific agreements and circumstances, and it involves a very long and very very old binding agreement between faeries and androids. They are all obsessed with the idea of an afterlife and their own existence because they are immortal and unsure of where they fit on the Have a Soul spectrum - technically they are sharing the life force of another soul, and no one can prove, one way or another, if that means they don’t have one of their own. Jullie is a regularly made android who dares to question the intense and untestable faith system that they have put into place, modeled after the ancient Egyptian mythos. Teddy is the first android to develop free will without the aid of a faerie - but under the decades of experimentation at the hands of magicians. They have not been able to replicate his results, as he ran away as soon as he realized what they have done and were planning on doing.
Victoria sneezes like a baby goat, in sets of four.
People have learned not to mention it. Ever. Fey always mentions it. At least twice a year. She has a spell she hums to make sure Victoria sneezes around her.
So, Victoria doesn't know how to joke (her sense of humor was cut out along with her uterus HAHA FUNNY JOKE FAIRY ACADEMY you'reallabunchofdicks) and Fey is too obsessed with how the school she so wanted to go to ended up being the worst experience ever and then to top it off they cut out bits of her and blah blah blah understandable tragedy/identity crisis, blah.
So as much as I love the "best friends who are enemies and do a bunch of best friend petty things to annoy each other" it doesn't really suit their characters too well.
BUT I REALLY WANT TO ADD IT TO THE STORY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT SO MUCH.
Like when Victoria comes to visit Fey to be all "you're a terrible brainwashed soldier of our great dictator fairy, you should be ashamed" Fey's garden is filled with the flower that Victoria is allergic to, so Tori needs to go in and deliver this Speech of Disappointment while sneezing in a tiny and high pitched noise the entire time. Man, she looks so angry, and Fey is just trying (and failing) not to laugh.
And then every time Victoria sees Fey at a market she starts whistling because Fey can't whistle and Fey is just pouting so intensely because someone is CLEARLY mocking her but Tori is staying hidden until finally Fey just goes home without the fresh food because fuck that nonsense.
And then when Fey is on the Super Awesome Spaceship of Rejects and Tori catches up to them and is all "seriously, I'm like one of the most powerful beings in the universe, you guys are so not going to outrun me" Fey just takes over the speaker system and blasts It's a Small World and then Tori is stuck with it in her head for months.
