Cinna

Cinna also would loathed being forced into any circumstances where she has to leave. Though her big caveat is basically she's gonna stick to her employer unless *her* presence is the thing putting them in danger.

The part of me that occasionally enjoys like more grim survivaly things in RP would be a little interested in exploring what it was like during her time in the Old World, so if living there was an option she might be more of a hermit, or possibly escorting someone there on some fetch quest, but she as a character would not like to go back.  

Azalev

Rare Old World Enjoyer

Azalev's backstory is also a bit vague rn but their whole vibe is teen rebellion (but actually more childish mischief).  I think they would like to go back to their more nomadic lifestyle in the Old World eventually but probably don't have the strongest grasp of how much time has actually passed since they came here. They left over something more inconsequential than dramatic, so they're not put off by the idea of leaving Kalris. 

As their puppeter, though the interactions of a goofy foreigner with average Kalrisians is kinda the whole appeal though, so I prefer playing that than them being in their element so speak. 

They've deviated quite a bit from their original concept (who became a toymaker) so hard to say what future holds for them. 

But also similar to Cinna, if they were back in the Old World, I could imagine there being some funny scenes if they had some poor Kalrisian with them in tow as their travel partner.



Quarrel

Quarrel is "always on the wrong side of every door". They're not quite happy living where they are, but the moment they get out they long to return. The only way they'd move permanently is if none of their friends remained and it was too painful for them to stay with those phantoms. Even then there'd be a begrudging fondness for where they washed up. I don't believe they'll ever return to the Old World again, however. Every affair there has been settled, and they're hopeful for the future for once.

Quarrel

This one is another simple one because today was certainly a day.

Who is your character's patron and why did they pick them? Do you think one of the other gods would be a 'better fit'?

Harris

Harris' journey of finding Silvanus as his current patron is still one of my favorite character developments for him.

It started as a bit of earnestness and desperation, starving, freezing, being bullied by bandits, and generally lots of confusing scary things going on in the background he feels powerless to help with - he thought learning to appreciate winter could help him survive and endure it.

Then he finally hits a breaking point where he's you know what, no, I didn't deserve this. (Albeit still a little 'nobody deserves this')

He's still a doormat, but hit the wrong fold and he'll try and trip you up a bit. 

His approach to 'revenge' so to speak was always going to be something more passive, physical violence is something he struggles to stomach. But the whole idea of 'I'm doing this to get back at you, even if it's hurting myself more than it affects you'. Is just the kind of spitefulness that feels very Silvanic to me. He wants them to regret it, but if it's just him sticking to his principals, something he's doing for himself, then so be it.

Though as his daily boyfailure struggles become less extreme, I do think an eventual patron switch might be in the cards for him. 

I've done a bit of writing on how he relates to different members of the pantheon in the past. I think Velyra or Cerridwen are the most likely candidates. 

Cerridwen with a heavy emphasis on Friendship, or Velyra for cooking and hospitality (he does frequently go out of his way trying to be welcoming to newcomers). 

Molly

"Il-Tira because mage" is a very boring if practical choice, but I think what drew Molly to her is a little bit deeper than that at least. She started out as a character very clueless, and has very slowly become more competent and wise as she's gotten older through several real life years of play. Now she's at the point where she's pretty much on top of her field and finally has a reliable source of income that isn't bartending, and she feels a calling to mentor new magelings, even if it's just because she thinks everybody else teaching magic is wrong and bad at it. She's also become someone people go to for advice sometimes, so though she has no children of her own (and probably never will), Il-Tira feels right for her in more than just being a mage.

Miracle

Ah the Mefarious M

Miracle's patron is Morothi. On the face for more theatrical, trickery reasons. She does enjoy revelry and she's a big night owl.

Mmmmmayhaps she's started to gravitate towards other aspects too. But I think her appreciation has evolved since first choosing him. 

She previously had another patron, but changed prior to coming to Morenth Library. 

If she were to change again, it would most definitely be Il-Tira due to her attitude towards magic and connection to the shrine. Although it's not her primary focus, healing magic in particular has been more important to her than anticipated. 

I could also see some seeds pointing to Althas or Silvanus (she's temperamental and spiteful). 



Bear

Bear's pretty locked into Dharasi for his career, being the god of smithing and all, but he's got an appreciation for the finer things in life and considers his work to be art as much as it is craft. Ironically I think Morothi is the "art dragon" although I dunno if that just applies to writing and poetry and stuff. I guess Velyra would be the fine art dragon? But I don't think Bear feels especially close to her for her to be his patron. The reason he likes making beautiful things is because they're rare, unique, durable, and precious. He likes the idea of making things that get passed down for hundreds of years. I'm not sure which dragon would be the "history" or "legacy" god. Dharasi still makes the most sense to me as his domain is all about creating things.

So, I don't think there'd be a better fit but he probably venerates Velyra more than anyone besides Dharasi.

Cinna

Cinna does not have a patron, but if she did, I think it would be a toss up between Jyra-Tul, Cerridwen, and Silvanus? None of them feel like a clean fit though. 

At first I thought maybe Althas but she's less 'help me control my anger, and more 'give me a reason and I'll do it' lol. 

Azalev

Azalev also does not have a patron, but if xey did it would almost definitely be Cerridwen. 


Although I have joked in the discord about a character who doesn't know anything about the gods just being like 'this ones neat' based on appearance alone, so Althas could be an option too. Maybe both, you can't stop them. 

I picture them worshiping some kind of Old World serpentine goddess but it's still vaguely defined. 

Quarrel

Quarrel's patron is, and has always been Morothi, though it is for more complicated reasons than the obvious. Besides their inclination for tricking their opponents and darkness, their first real interaction with the Pantheon was being told they were a child of Morothi. And for someone who felt largely outcast from every home they were supposed to have... to learn there was basically a god of that who accepted them and they could be identified with gave them just enough purpose to keep hanging around. Because maybe, if he could make it work and thought they were worth it, they could live. (There's more too of course, I could be here all day talking about the thematic parallels, how Morothi's place in the Rhiannon myth is similar to Quarrel's, the implication of survival...)


ANYWAY as a priest they have ties to each of the nine, and during hiatus (and a bit before it) worked hard on reflecting on them. It's hard for even me to decide on who they'd pick if Morothi was not in the picture... they have an interesting relationship with Dharasi that only seems to be strengthening, Il-Tira certainly is on their mind a lot (though I'd argue that's more due to their friendships than themself?), Jyra-Tul would be obvious but I don't think it would be healthy for them to lean too far... No, if I had to pick one for how they will be after hiatus, it would be Elyenne or Cerridwen. 

Quarrel

What does your character do to unwind from the horrors? (Hobbies, vacations, 'media' consumption?)

Harris

To reprieve 'the horrors' specifically, Harris usually just needs to be around other critters. Chatting, hanging out, doing an activity together or asynchronous- literally just quietly being in the same room. He's very social, and its a comfort if he can find some solidarity with a friend or even a stranger. Sitting around a fire listening to gossip, jokes, or light hearted stories is generally when he's most relaxed.  He doesn't generally initiate improv, but he likes playing along. 

However he's also pretty socially anxious, so if he's feeling especially overwhelmed in that regard he'll try to self-isolate, focus on some task, or else hide somewhere to breathe (or cry) it out until he feels more settled.  (Even though he would 95% of the time be happier if someone was there to comfort him) Busywork and running errands usually distracts him enough from getting in that bad of a state though.

So if he's frightened he gravitates towards others, talking too much, or keeping his hands busy; if he's upset he gravitates towards finding a quiet space. (Annnnnd often ping-ponging between these different strategies) 

In the absence of companionship, he'll talks to himself, the gods, or inanimate objects/plants. He generally finds comfort in reading, singing, and cooking.  If the weather is fair, he likes being outside and going for a walk. 

Molly

Molly spends most of her time fiddling with her crystals and just feeling the magic radiating off of them, watching the light in them shift and glimmer, twirling them like fidget toys, etc., to the point that she often spaces out on what's happening around her. When she's not doing that, she usually entertains herself by teleporting to various random people who have her spell anchors and seeing what they're up to. And, of course, maintaining the Wayshrine to Il-Tira is a big worship timesink for her that helps her feel closer to Il-Tira and repays her for the magical prowess she was given.

Given that she dislikes both walking and eating, and has no productive skills whatsoever, she doesn't have a lot else to fill her time with. Fortunately she's very easily and endlessly amused by basking in the magical radiation of her belongings. Somehow, she's figured out a way to be fairly wealthy and well-equipped despite those things (and tribute to the shrine doesn't hurt).

Cinna

Cinna would tell you 'mind your business' and/or 'she's too old for hobbies'.

But she likes watering the garden, cleaning, and wood carving. If she needs to destress she's probably taking it out on a training dummy though. She's more likely to act more even more vigilant/aggressive when she most needs to relax.
