and also feel free to come up with your own character for him/what you'd like to play with, i didn't have too much in mind yet beyond like a science-y/cerebral type who had a secret of his own wrt his health, be it mental or physical and it maybe causing some mild agoraphobia which doesn't make for the best first impressions
so the person she met when he was in completely new territory aka alira's parents home is different to who he ended up being when they went back to his own etc
YESSSS i really love the idea of him having some kind of mental or physical health thing, and i could see it causing some mild agoraphobia too. maybe that is part of where his intelligence like pokes in too, researching, trying to find a way to help himself with what ails him in that sense.
if eh did have mild agoraphobia, it would be even that more surprising for her when he like shows up jklre;a lmao
otherwise it may be fun to play on some bridgerton themes like how antony always had that like weight upon him due to his father's death - maybe his father died of whatever is afflicting him so there's a lot of pressure wrt all that
guh yes i do really like the idea of it potentially being hereditary so that he has to contend with legacy on several different levels, and also trying to avoid his parent's fate - something elizaveta also wants to do albeit on a different level
AND YES lmao she would not be expecting it and also maybe if he DOES have a sickness he might also die ?? which is. upsetting. she didn't want to be a widow after all ig
yessss exactly it would be a fun thing to play with as well of like how to navigate that complicated situation --
jrekl;areaw JUST a possibility to die type of deal, but i like the arc for him being like well i've been afraid all my life and i won't be anymore, i choose love over fear~~~ and well, anger/passion/emotion >>" etc.
i can be vague with the sickness like i was with noah, but maybe it's like a curse on his family or just legit hereditary. i'll have to play around and think about it but there's options there.
i wonder too if the murder to save herself was rune related?? does that mean it's the first time he saw her runes or would he have seen them before dat?
OOOOOH good questions ... i like the idea of him not having seen them before, at both of them being kind of good with keeping their secrets and that being an obstacle at first to them truly gaining intimacy
the murder would've def been rune related, and i can def see that being the first time he's ever seen one and being like ??? tho i leave it up to you if he'd immediately know what that was
AND ALSO FOR ALIRA in case she might be something new/interesting for you - i'd genuinely be thrilled with either one - the loose inspiration for the alira/elizaveta dynamic is the last tale of the flower bride, the whole indigo/azure thing bc it was riveting to me >> and partly why i haven't completely decided if i want alira to be the nice one or if both should be a lil more complicated than that but yes.
YESSSSSS then they slowly start to learn one another's secrets and become more really intimate, and then surprise there's like more secrets beneath it all D:
and ooooh maybe i'll make up a sheet for him and actually see if he would have >> with like a roll or something heh or maybe he sees it and then immediately rushes to research what it means/is and then is worried for her and angry at the very same time
and OOOOH okay i will keep that in mind too, but yes i was immediately drawn to jonathan bailey type smarty pants character who is reserved and all dat, it right up my ally ahemmmmmmmmm
OOOH man yes ... would he be like an artificer-y type do you think? I know wizard is the go-to for science/brainy types but for some reason that's not what I immediately thought of for him though it would still make sense.
I can def see him pouring over books and then pikachu face-ing when he finally put it all together lmao >> just pls keep her secret bro
AND YOU KNOW ME i like juicy and fucked up all around lmaooooo
i do still need to decide the alira/maksym angle of the trio but we can always decide that together
YESSS i was leaning toward/thinking about artificer ngl esp after seeing my brother start to dip into it a bit, it would be fun :eyes: but i gotta look at the subclasses to see which i think would be most fitting
...and YES exactly lmao that would be his reaction and don't worry when he simultaneously realizes how dangerous it is for her. he'll be too worried to share with a soul.
I LOVE juicy and fucked up too so this is perfect heh
