Potpourri

Rua was the “test run” for Anarchy path at first, but ended in “wow now I want to draw her” cast. Rua acts under impression “all I have is a hammer” - and her hammer is a war hammer. And an axe. Majority of fractions fears her, but with her companions? They love her, despite all her..quirks. She is the most traumatised of all my Fatebinders; girl really needs a hug.

Tyranny OC no one asked for. Basically they grown on extension of idea “what if Fatebinders didn’t became Fatebinders, but still became Archons”... This one strayed pretty far from original point, but they are persistent and I have a soft spot for jesters. So...

Once a local man found a mutilated body of young... person on a river bank. Poor fellow lost his (or her) face and more... private parts to unknown tormentor. Since victim survived the assault, many could find their complete loss of memories kind of a blessing. Family what saved them was of rare generous and compassionate kind, since they hid the young victim, even suspecting them to be lost “toy” of some vicious Archon. Still, life in a solemn village didn’t last long - family what hid “Nemo”, was killed because of unrelated reasons by arrogant aristocrat, and their indebted guest delivered vengeance swiftly and ruthlessly. “Nemo” willingly appeared before the Court, with grace and pride unexpected from low beggar pledged their own guilt, motivation and abilities.  Their distorted face reshaped and rebuilded, as Nemo stated that they posses ability of changing themselves at will - and thus they ascended at position of Exarch during the same trial. No one appeared to reclaim Nemo - was they a runaway prisoner, lost toy of a cruel tormentor, or even a kidnapped child of nobility; secret of their past remained unsolved. Rumours stated, that distorted and constantly reshaping face greatly disgusted Overlord, and (s)he obliged new Archon to wear mask constantly if they are not wearing someone else’s face.

“Pretty face” isn’t the previous face of Nemo, it’s just an artifical face, that they chose to manifest, while not wearing a mask.

Pretty face is an androgynous doll face, and Nemo isn’t sure about their own gender - scars and wounds made that fact a bit ambiguous. Shape shifting powers aren’t helping either.

As jester, Nemo in theory has the right to mock any noble or even the Archon, including even the Overlord. In fact, Nemo could not openly even criticise Kyros (despite this being against all reason of jester’s being!) and Overlord’s court depraved enough to harass and mock them. 

Alexiel always was kind of stepford smiler, and their smiles are mostly: sarcastic, fake or even spiteful. But they are almost constant! Basically Alexiel’s artistic laugh was one of the most annoying part of dealing with them, since Alexiel mocks everything and everyone for the sake of simple annoyance.  Alistair and Thomas with time manage to make Alexiel smile sincerely, but it surely required lots of friendship building exercise.

Hmmm. Well that’s complicated. Depending on the eons of their soul dwelled in the living world they achieved many things and deed many deeds... But I think that the fact that by looking at  humanity Alexiel developed the knowledge of love, compassion, friendship and grief - is pretty grand in itself. Not all of their brothers could ever grasp that, esp. now then the world is dying. Yes, the fact that Alexiel feels those things are their weakness - and it’s exploited by everyone who could exploit that at least at the current story, but it is crucial thing that put Alexiel in the key position between worlds.

Alexiel’s romantic life is dooming them! Problem is - they have a type. Persons, who, basically, too good for them. Best of humankind, courageous, kind and merciful people,often a person what could also been considered unreachable or inaccessible. Although Alexiel doesn’t make a big fuss about pleasures of flesh, actual “relationship” are much bigger deal. They find any kind of actual share of true feeling much more intimate than hot sex - partly because in their true form empathic connection is a one best form of lovemaking.  Now Alexiel is in process of building something new on a cindered ruins - they relationships with Alistair are clearly romantic, and could develop into sensual as well, but Alistair is young and inexperienced, and yet has no idea how this could develop (and that it could cost him). Alexiel also has a platonic rival-friendship with Wagner, but... Well Thomas is complicated, Alexiel is weird, they better work in their trio and not dwell in all these feeelings.  To put this under  labels: Alexiel is pansexual and demiromantic, Alistair is a very confused bi- in a homophobic environment, and Wagner is an ace who run away to battlefield against forces of Evil from his wedding.

Happily, Alexiel is not an ambitious person. This tied with their knowledge that they are not the part of human society - they couldn’t have family, laws forbid them from starting any independent business, and Alexiel just not the type to start any kind of resistanse within the society which they doesn’t even consider their own. That could be a different story, if Alexiel admitted himself as part of the world around them. At least by serving Inqusition they could serve their original purpose and protect the living world. Basically Alexiel greatest ambition - not to serve anyone else’s ambitions and simply doing their job. For now.

1 of my OC Fatebinders: Eris of the Bonding Viper’s tribe. She was also known as “Tunon’s pet”, and using that nickname is a pretty good way to get on her “bad” side. Ruthless, forceful, cuddling, biting, big pouncing cat of Fatebinder.  A cat what may look on a king, ye know!

Trivia:

she is left-handed

Vipers had knowledge about poisonous herbs and snakes, and living with them built up her resistance against such effects. Eris used that to her advantage more than once in the North, but has some difficulties with unfamiliar flora and fauna of Tiers. That frustrated her. 

has difficult relationship with fire - mix of fear and fascination (esp after proclamation of Fire Edict).

Tunon spent great deal of time to make her talk properly and not reverting to barbaric speech patterns of Beasts.
