2, 3 and 10 for Rory and Riley? :D
2. Love Interest. Who does your character love? What attracted them to that particular LI?
Julian. Honestly….shoulders. He was intimidated, but in a sexy way. It progressed into an emotional attraction as they interacted, especially as they connected on a mutual anxiety level. Rory liked to feel like he was being useful and adventurous, and liked that he could also express his own discomfort and know he could be supported. In the end - he knew he loved Julian because his smile made his heart ache.
As far as Apprentice/Apprentice, Rory has also had his sights on @vesuviannights ​ Elias Haventhorne. The first thing Rory noticed about him was his kindness - pure and unadulterated. The first person to care about him and treat him well, unconditionally. Regardless of the universe, they’re bound to one another, while not always romantic...it usually is :] I like to think even in universes where they haven’t met, Rory looks up at the stars and feels a tug in his chest, in the small hole in his heart where his own Star resides.
3. Familiar. Does your character have a familiar? How did they meet?
He does! Or did, rather. Rory was given a foal as a child, which he named Capall. While he never quite understood what a familiar was, their emotional and magical connection was established early on, and Capall was wise beyond his years. Upon Rory’s death, Capall went mad. A second contender, though not actually a familiar, was a puppy given to Rory by his Aunt Saoirse when he was 18 years old. He was a Border Collie bestowed the name Patches for the pattern on his fur, and while they never established a magical connection, Rory depended on Patches’ intelligence and kindness while he was studying in Prakra, and up until his death.
10. WTF. Has anything just…weird ever happened to your character? Something that made them stop and go “What just happened?!”
…..Does the countess hiring you to investigate the murder of her husband and then falling in love with said murderer and then finding out you died and then getting your body stolen by the not so dead ghost of said husband and then fighting the devil count? Because that was pretty fucking weird! (Other fun answers available upon request ^_^)
2. Love Interest. Who does your character love? What attracted them to that particular LI?
Portia. He was instantly drawn to her personality and tenacity. He loves how sweet she is, but how playful and adventurous. He needs a bit of fun to even him out. And he isn’t used to people carrying him (He’s 6’2” and built like a brick shithouse). Riley would be proud to be her knight in shining armor, to swear fealty to her and protect her from those who may do her harm, though she really doesn’t need to be protected. Also...he loves to hold her, and kiss her face.
As far as Apprentice/Apprentice, Riley has romanced Salia, which you know, baby, seeing as she’s yours :P Salia belongs to @superlemonsweet for those who do not know, and the first thing that drew him in were her eyes. He felt like he was drowning the instant he looked into them. She makes Riley feel like he himself is a puddle, knees weak and arms weaker. Considering he lifts all the time, that’s saying something. Also, what can he say? He’s drawn to driven, powerful, snarky women? He would die for her, live for her, will wine and dine her until the sun comes up over the horizon and catches in her hair.
3. Familiar. Does your character have a familiar? How did they meet?
He doesn’t, unfortunately. He doesn’t have the same magical aura that his brother does, and so never develops that connection with any familiar.Â
10. WTF. Has anything just…weird ever happened to your character? Something that made them stop and go “What just happened?!”
Honestly, Riley is not magically inclined, so anytime some weird magic stuff happens, he’s constantly in a state of “Oh my god, that just happened!” He’s always surprised by his own abilities and usually ends up putting too much force into it.
