𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐄𝐂𝐇 & 𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐄

█                         to be blunt, volk doesn’t like talking. he speaks in short sentences wherever possible and resents having to explain himself. where possible, he will avoid conversation. when he does have to speak, he doesn’t see the point in dressing up his words ― why say ‘ could you please do this for me? ’  when you could say ‘ do this for me ’ and get the same outcome? he typically doesn’t need to say much more due to the fact he’s pretty intimidating to look at. if he is to drop anything from his speech, it’s the manners. this is the case regardless of hierarchy, he will speak the same to his commander as he does to his horse. 

it’s not uncommon for volk to make a statement and then say nothing else to clarify ; shame on you for not understanding what he means. by most people’s standards, he would just come off as rude. his face will show all of his expression when he is listening to someone talk, however, even if he isn’t responding. he is not one to hide how he feels, even if he doesn’t verbally express it. 

WHAT TYPE OF ROMANTICISM ARE YOU? 

𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐦

mindlessly shared space, automatic glances, overwhelming warmth: you're deep romanticism. deep romanticism consists of pure comfort and belonging, the complete intertwining of two souls. it's growing into a shape that fits perfectly in the arms of another, it's asking questions you already know the answer to, just to hear the way they pronounce those words again, it's admiring their face as they sleep pressed against you, admiring the same face you study as they talk about whatever they're fond of that week, yet finding new things to love, even after years of doing so. you're most likely an old and pure soul, and anyone would be so incredibly lucky to have you. just remember that emotional and romantic depth is not the end goal, enjoy your journey rather than focusing on a certain point of achievement along the way. love in uncertainty, sit in unfamiliarity. "we'll survive, you and i" - f. scott fitzgerald

QUICK INFO

resides in byrania, a ‘neutral’ state between nafelar and vysh. byrania is settled between the valley of mountains. byrania heavily favours nafelar, despite its official ‘neutral’ status within the kingdom.

byrania is under the protection of nafelar, or so it seems, as vysh has wanted to occupy byrania for centuries due to its tactical height advantage. byrania has no military, so is frequently occupied by nafelarian knights. they use its shared border with vysh to keep an eye on them.

hacyon lives in the great library of byrania, in the capital town called numsa. the great library can be seen from miles away, due to its spire.

he lives alone, as a solitary scholar, binding and writing books that tell the tales of nafelar. the library is open to all, but visitors are not permitted to enter the spire.

his personal work is a compendium of beasts; he will research a creature, put together a field drawing and a description of its nature. he has been compiling this book for over half a century. 

his past is fogged with plague, loss, and grief ― his interest in blood magic started with this. whilst he cannot resurrect the dead like a necromancer can, he uses blood magic to transfer ‘life’. the first party in this ritual always dies. 

blood magic is a taboo. it is not outlawed, but the markings on his face are testament to his practices; the wise will recognise these markings. despite his shy and bookish appearance, his markings allude to his true inclinations.

theodore “theo” lexington. english, cis-male, 32. single father to 5 y/o daughter freya, wife left him and freya for another man. it’s sore spot. he doesn’t talk about his ex-wife (still married, for now) but he will talk at great lengths about freya. fiercely protective of her. 

invests in stocks, buys low and sells high - he’s got it down to an art. not quite a millionaire, but certainly not far off. he has a penchant for buying out struggling smaller companies and flipping them into profitable endeavours for himself.

started out on daddy’s old money and family estates, the family name is mostly asset rich. he’s the younger brother, and will not inherit directly.
