Donner and Rudy are not actually related by blood, but they still think of each other as brothers!

At the age of 17, Donner officially became a long distance delivery caribou. His first year was spent far from home traveling from town to town, village to village, delivering packages and letters. Whenever he wanted a quick break from his travels, he would volunteer at the local caribou boarding school and play with the calves and teach them survival skills. That was how he eventually met Rudy.

At the time, Rudy had been in mourning for a long time following the disappearance of his parents and it left him frail, listless, and generally not flourishing as a young calf. Donner was extremely worried about him and dedicated much of his volunteer time to caring for Rudy, making sure that he ate and slept and spent time with the other calves rather than being sad and alone.

After a few weeks of attention, Rudy was showing marked improvement, but Donner’s funds were drying up and he couldn’t stay forever. Rudy had warmed up to him a lot and Donner was concerned that leaving the calf would send Rudy spiraling back into depression. It took several difficult conversations with the headmaster of the school, but Donner was able to negotiate taking Rudy in as a dependant and an adopted sibling. They’ve been traveling together ever since!

So it’s less about Donner’s reaction to getting a little brother and more his parents’ reaction to suddenly getting another son!

Whipped up something short and sweet! It’s nothing too bad or too long, but it still goes under a cut because suggestive content

Yup! Main 6 Vs. Silverback Gorilla MC

Asra

Asra is very good at that spell that makes someone float safely to the ground (that he used on himself and Faust at the docks), so it gets a lot of use nowadays with MC’s familiar around. 

Asra is Long Suffering with a gorilla in a magic shop on a regular basis, his tidying up spells get a lot of use too. 

Nadia

Nadia immediately politely asks you to ask your familiar to stop doing that, after all she has the safety of her staff and palace visitors to worry about

She doesn’t mind at all that MC’s familiar is a gorilla, but its the over protectiveness that really worries her. 

Orders a bed so that MC’s gorilla can sleep right next to their bed to keep an eye on MC. 

Julian

Julian’s never gotten a break in his entire life and a protective silverback gorilla as his love’s familiar really does just feel...of a piece, to him.

Good thing he’s a trained doctor and is ready to deal with whatever injuries people sustain from the misfortune of getting too close to MC’s familiar, though, he does worry if they’re a public health hazard. 

Maybe its because its magic?

Muriel

Muriel has very ornery stare downs with the gorilla because Muriel JUST internalized that he and MC can protect each other and now this familiar waltzes in like they’re gonna be MC’s bodyguard? (What if...they don’t need him anymore... :/...)

Also hes not at all a fan of violence so he asks MC if their familiar can cut that out before someone (esp MC) accidentally gets really hurt

Portia

Portia thinks that MC’s gorilla is super cool and is happy that its so protective of MC, she is also very protective of MC, between the two of them they’re like Chaotic bodyguards.

Her ONLY request is that they stop throwing Nadia whenever MC goes to the palace, Portia keeps getting an earful about it. 

She asks MC’s familiar for piggyback rides to her job in the morning. 

Lucio

Oh what the fuck? Oh what the FUCK that’s COOL. is the general vibe when Lucio sees MC’s familiar in action for the first time. 

He admires a good show of strength for someone that he care’s about, so he can appreciate what MC’s familiar is doing, plus they’re magic which makes them even MORE impressive in his eyes. 

Back at it again with the Winged!series doo doo doo-

~~~

Lucio

Brown sparrow wings

They look a lot softer than they actually are

They’re actually pretty scruffy

The feathers fluff up and rustle according to his emotions

They’re usually fluffed up because he’s usually a happy and/or excited boy

There’s often a feather or two out of place but he doesn’t mind (though, he’ll take the help of settling it back in place if someone points it out)

They’re a bit small so he doesn’t usually use them for gliding and the like; he has been known to use them as a last resort in combat though

Scruffy feathers = feather cuts (imagine getting cut with an arrow’s feathers; it’s a very similar pain to paper cuts but sometimes can be deeper and bleed a lot more)

Decorates them with jewelry and the like during performances

Fans like to get his feathers when they’ve fallen out; he thinks it’s a little strange but there’s been weirder things

Reinhardt

Big beautiful swan wings

When he was younger they were his prized possession

The perfect wings

Everyone loved them and everyone wanted them

Today they’re still some of the most gorgeous wings but there’s a scar where feathers won’t grow here and a kink in a bone there from his battles

He’s not as stuck-up and arrogant as he used to be about them but the occasion preening (hah, bird pun; it also means to congratulate oneself) happens when someone gives them enough admiration

Still takes very good care of them, though he sometimes has to take a medication when they start to ache where bones didn’t heal properly

Doesn’t glide or the like with them; they’re just around for show and fighting purposes at this point in his life

He has armor for them that goes with the rest of his set and he uses them in combat often, both as defense and offense; will also use them to propel himself forward when need arises

Taught D.Va quite a bit of her combat knowledge, though she often puts her own crazy spin on the moves now (They may or may not have bonded over their battle scars; they’re a terrifying duo when they get paired up together)

Sure you may! 

Honestly, I designed the seeker class to reflect Avian, who is obviously bird-coded and themed. But, of course, the seeker class isn’t about having feathers, it’s about being able to see the map from a different perspective and move on a different plane than the other 9. So of course you can have a bat-winged seeker! 

Seeker was created to bring other people joy, and if making one with bat-wings does that for you, then it’s being done right.
