💸 🛏️ 🍒 for Malice

Thank u darling!!

🧑‍🤝‍🧑🧑‍🤝‍🧑how do they feel about having multiple partners at once? have they ever done it?

Sabetha - I don’t think she could do it. She’s never tried, but she’s very anxious and that much communication and understanding is a bit advanced for her right now. That’s not to say she couldn’t ever do it, but it would take some growth and stability on her end first.

🏳️‍🌈what’s their sexual orientation? have they ever experimented outside of that [for more binary orientations such as heterosexual/homosexual]?

Sabetha - she’s gaaaayyyy! She experimented with a friend at one point and came up with inconclusive results. So gay but bi-curious? She’s not limiting herself to only women, but gravitates mostly that way.

👀how do they feel about voyeurism? exhibitionism?

Sabetha - I think she’s shy. It would have to be a really controlled and safe environment like a play party or something with strict rules. It’s not something she’s tried (yet) because of the shyness, but I think she’d like watching. And maybe if the right person was watching her…

💸have they ever or would they ever accept money or gifts in exchange for sex?

Malice - so the short answer is yes he has and probably would again, but the longer answer is more nuanced. He views his body as one of his most marketable assets and will often ignore his feelings around using it as a tool. This has led him to several instances of being offered money/gifts/etc for sexual favours. He….doesn’t love it to be honest, but will do and give a lot to ensure his own survival. He does enjoy sex so would rather do it for free since having a monetary value placed on it commodifies him (& his body) yet again. He’s got a lot of issues around being commodified.

🛏️what’s their favorite position?

Malice - doggy, any configuration. Less personal without the eye contact, but still lots of opportunity for versatility and getting rough.

🍒how old were they when they lost their virginity? to whom? was it significant?

my beloved!!! edgy bad boys malice & judas upon ye!

fighter: What's your muse's fighting style? Are there any weapons your muse is comfortable with, or a weapon they'd like to learn to use? What drives them to fight?

Malice - ici!

Judas - his fighting style can be described best as precise and deadly. He's very well trained and is aware he has the constitution of a wet paper towel, so he has to be faster and dirtier than his opponent because he knows he can't win an up-close strength contest. He's doing dope rogue shit like dashing about, striking where it hurts most and then vanishing into the shadows. He's a knives guy, and mostly only fights out of survival. He kind of believes if a situation evolves into a fight, he's fucked up big time.

cleric: Does your muse believe in any god or follow any religion? What drives their faith? Or, if they're faithless, why? What would it take for them to find faith in something or someone?

Malice - he believes in gods in like a very loose sense, like they're out there granting people powers n shit, and he's not one to invalidate someone else's relationship to a higher power - he knows from experience there are those out there. But the available gods just aren't for him. They can't help him. He stopped asking a while ago.

Judas - he's quite agnostic and thinks the gods' powers are exaggerated. If gods really cared that much, there wouldn't be so much rampant evil in the world. He's bitter and thinks he could be just as good as a god if he put his mind to it. He does however have a lot of faith in his friends, to the point of detrimental loyalty (which could be construed as worship....).

barbarian: What makes your muse angry? How do they manage their anger? Has their rage ever led them to destroy something important?

Malice - oh boy a lot. He has a very short fuse - insults that hit a little too close to home, when people are obviously lying to him, if/when people threaten his autonomy, or when people bring up his past. He doesn't do a lot to manage it, but what he finds helps is working out/exercising regularly and staying sober, as well as trying to not take anything too seriously. He has destroyed things in a rage - he killed his own father and ruined his own life oops (his da deserved it though).

Thank you!!

artificer: How good is your muse at picking up new tools/skills? Are they proficient with any tools? How are they at making things with their own hands?

Salt - they would tell you they’re not good at picking up new skills, but they’re quite good at it. They’re proficient with a ton of weapons, herbalism kits, and water vehicles on paper, but also with tattooing, surfing, and navigating/cartography as part of their lore. They were allowed to give a tattoo artist the help action on their own tattoo! Otherwise they’re not much of a maker beyond maps and cordage.

Malice - he’s not really very handy at all. He’s good at picking up physical skills like fighting and acrobatics, but when it comes to making things, not really. He’s good with a disguise kit and that’s about it. He leaves tools and crafting to someone else. Why make your own shiv when you can summon one with a snap of your fingers?

fighter: What's your muse's fighting style? Are there any weapons your muse is comfortable with, or a weapon they'd like to learn to use? What drives them to fight?

Salt - they are comfortable with a whole bunch of different weapons, mostly swords and spears, but they prefer rapiers and long swords - something a bit cunty, unique. They have to be different - Every pirate has a cutlass, so they have a flamberge rapier. Their fighting style is very fluid and graceful, almost dancer-like - think water bender meets fencer. They fight for what they believe in and to protect their friends, and because they think it’s fun.

Malice - his fighting style is both flashy and viciously dirty. Equal parts merciless and performative. Extra flourishes but it still hurts when he hits. One could say his fighting style is malicious - he is famous for it after all. He’s quite comfortable with an array of weapons but prefers pole-arms and spears - keep a bit of distance. His go-to is an obsidian glaive. He is driven to fight by a want for attention, a deep devastating anger, and sheer spite.

warlock: Has your muse ever made a deal to get something they wanted? Is there anything your muse wants enough to broker for it? What would your muse sacrifice to get what they want?

Salt - they have not, but there are things they have considered sacrificing if it absolutely came down to it - they want freedom, autonomy, and balance more than anything, but they also yearn for connection. In a way to get that, they’d give up their paladin oath that binds them to protecting that same thing. They’ve risked their life countless times to protect their loved ones, so that’s something they’d offer. But on the flip side, trying to make a deal with them would be difficult - they’re incredibly stubborn.
