ā¼, ā£,ā£, ā and ā³ for lira and vesper?
ā¼ What is their greatest fear?
liraĀ is afraid of failure, of breaking promises and oaths and her word, and of becoming something monstrously uncaring (of becoming, in short, the thing she hates)
vesperĀ fears losing control, to emotion or her own power or something outside herself, and hurting the people she cares for and swore to keep safe
ā£ If someone had the power to bring them back after death, would they want them to?
liraĀ would come back if she still had work to do; death comes for everyone in the end but sheād rather not leave a job unfinished or abandon her duty to anything less than the ending of her lifeāāand, if she could, sheād push right on past that
vesperĀ would rather stay dead, if unnatural means had to be used to bring her back. thereās an order to the world, and she has no wish to leave it despite everything, but sheās seen people burn themselves too often playing with fires they canāt control to want to be one such person (it would depend on who was pulling her back, and how they were convincing her to return)
ā£ Would they kill someone close to them if they had to?
liraĀ would, yes. with some regret, but the needs of the many and the needs of her duty must come first, and if that requires a death of a friend she would see that through and grieve afterwards, in her own way
vesperĀ would not. she has lost too much in this world to willingly lose a friend, especially when she might be able to save him from himself. (people are wretched, but many of them are good too, when given the chance, and there is too much violence against brother in this world. she is here to build, not to break. to destroy is the last thing she wants.)
liraĀ fears losingāālosing fights, wars, people, anything. she hates the though of leaving things unfinished. sheās not afraid to dieāāshe made her peace with that at twentyāābut she does not like thinking of her eventual leave-taking.
vesperĀ isnāt afraid of death. there are things far worse in this world.
ā³ How would they react to seeing a loved one become possessed?Ā
lira:Ā a moment of hesitation, and then the steel-edged discipline that has seen her through everything; closeness would temper her pragmatism, encourage her to seek solutions besides destroying the possessing spirit or the possessed thing, but sheād be prepared to deal with it however necessary.
vesper:Ā triage. she knows enough about spirits to have a modicum of control in such a situation, and with a level head and quick action itās the sort of thing she might be able to overcome or circumvent. itās only if saving them isnāt possible that worry sets ināāpossession is, after all, something she has feared since she knew to fear it.
