3 10 and 15 for the ocs question thingy which may be old but idc
Oooh yay thank you for asking!! I'm going to do this for my favorite OC's ever, the OG Church Husbands, Thelem and Azelphir from Exile//Vilify!! Mostly because I want to get back to writing them and actually finish their damn prequel :)
3. What were their first impressions of each other? How does that compare to their impressions of each other now?
A classic story of hate at first sight. Azelphir thought Thelem was a dirty, useless homeless guy (semi-accurate) who wouldn't be able to conform to the demands of the Order, while Thelem thought Azelphir was a stuck up, know-it-all rich kid with a HUGE stick up his ass (extremely accurate). Azelphir was also in a position of authority over him at this time, so it was even worse.
Now, they've grown to really respect one another and work well as a team running the abbey. Thelem appreciates Azelphir's precision, discipline, and need for order, while Azelphir has grown slightly fond of Thelem's chronic tardiness and ability to view things in shades of gray rather than in rigid black and whites.
10. What is one major difference between them?
I feel like this is implied in the previous answer but literally everything. They are opposites in every single way but they mesh so well together and I love that for them. If I had to pick though, I think the main root of it goes to Azelphir's rigid worldview versus Thelem's more amorphous one.
15. Do they trust each other? Why or why not?
At first, absolutely not. In fact, Azelphir actually abused his authority over Thelem to deliberately put him behind in his entry to the abbey. Thelem knew this was happening, but couldn't do anything about it. From Azelphir's perspective, he was trying to weed out someone who couldn't commit to the rigors of being an ordained seer.
Now, they trust each other immensely. They'd put their lives in each others' hands.
!! OC ASKS!!
