✍ + 10 please!
Oh wow, okay! Thanks for sending something in! (Not used to that)
Considering it was an rp meme and I don't talk about my characters often I figure I'll talk about some of my favorites. Or at least the ones who write.
#10 - handwriting
Theo
Since he grew up serving under the royal family he had to learn the basics of reading, writing, mathematics, and history in preparation to be the next royal advisor. While Lewis mostly took over his job (we love nepotism) he’s fallen out of practice except for his literary skills. He has nice, neat, legible writing. It can be extra fancy if need be but that’ll take him a lot longer and he’ll fuss about it the entire time so it really isn’t worth it.
Lewis
Speak of the devil, as the unofficial royal advisor to his partner, he is tasked with helping document and write whatever is too confidential for normal staff to know. But having grown up in Magic’s Exile he never got a proper education and so his handwriting is more chicken scratch than letters and lord knows he can’t spell to save his life. He and Riley have mostly decided that its better if Theo takes care of it, even if one of the other servants needs to deliver it to save Lewis’ pride.
Riley
Growing up similarly to Lewis, Riley never got a proper education. Of course, when they took the throne there was no arguing and they learned everything Theo had to, except in greater detail. Not that they really care about anything more than history, diplomacy, economics, and war tactics when it comes to ruling a kingdom. While they rarely write anything themselves, when they do it’s always slanted and a little sloppy, clearly done by someone too bored to care.
Jason & Izamaku
Father and son of high military standings are going to have similar handwriting. They both have rather blocky, clean uniform letters. Iza’s has a bit more personality to it, little flares here and there depending on what letter a word ends on. Usually e’s, l’s, and s’s.
Yoriko
Being the daughter of a military general and heavily sheltered for the majority of her life she has learned to keep her boredom at bay, especially when her only friend is off at another base. She has mastered many creative skills including painting and piano playing, so calligraphy is nothing new. Iza has commented that her letters are sometimes “too fancy to read.”
Isaac & his children
The dedicated scientist he is, Isaac has quick, messy handwriting that may look more like hieroglyphics to anyone else. But he can read them so that’s all that matters.
Having raised them himself, his two children both have similar handwriting. Eliza’s is neater (not by much) so she could help Charm read whatever their father had written. Charm’s is a lot shakier though as his hands aren’t his own. Like most delicate and precise things he attempts his body doesn’t like to cooperate.
