#Cier Katsaros

[fallenlightsif]

Hola, konnichiwa, and other greetings. I’m on a walk and ended up here. Not a really serious question, and pretty weird, but I like asking these things to see the outcome.

How would the ROs react to a MC who chose only a chair to fight? Out of all weapons they can choose, out of any magical doohickey or clever scheme, they ignore the most obvious choice of weapon and hit the enemy over the head with a chair.

Florian: He's known you since childhood; he's come to expect and be amused by your nonsense.

Marcella: Same as Florian, except she would grab a chair and join in.

E: They've known you since childhood, and they're consistently exasperated by you.

Ari: She'd be confused at first, and would then provide backup so you don't get yourself killed. Expect a firm talking to after the fight.

Dimitri: You worry him so often that he's almost certain he's going to get ulcers from knowing you. He frets at you afterward.

Julian: He's highly amused and cheers you on. Seeing how pissed your opponents get makes his day.

Orion: He will confiscate the chair, sit you in the corner, and then take care of the fighting.

Rowan: They call you a dumbass afterward, but they're laughing. That's a huge win, seeing as Rowan almost never laughs.

Kira: She'll light the chair on fire for you, so now you're throwing a flaming chair. She's an enabler of chaos, so she approves.

Cier: He's also an enabler of chaos, and will hand you more chairs to throw while he lounges and enjoys the show.

Ilaria: Before you can fight with the chair, your enemy is already dead courtesy of her. From the look on her face, you might be next.

BONUS!

Ezrah: Who do you think taught you to fight with a chair in the first place? Him, of course.

OC’S AS PLANETS

Tagged to do this uquiz by @stephschoices who also drew the art featured for the characters below except Cier, Emil, and Dima done by MirageIllustrations on Etsy 🪐

I’ll tag @grapecaseschoices @kalorphic @illbealive-nextyear @ot-hoe-me @icanmakewords (no pressure tho)

Did my Fallen Lights (@fallenlightsif) boys this time ✨

SATURN

patient. stable. reliable. preserving and diligent. your capacity to hold focus on something you choose to is unmatched by all other planets. you were made for hard work that you love and that you know is rewarding. you are the shoulder that everyone wants to cry on, so remember you can lean on yourself when it seems there is no one else. there is nothing wrong with being self sufficient. you are justice and evenly balanced scales.

URANUS

innovative. unpredictable. resourceful. imaginative. creativity in science and disruption. oh, uranus. you were dealt the cards that don't have much to offer, but luckily you can always make them work. you are acrylic paint that has been plastered over the same canvas so many times that it is starting to have those little grooves of texture. you are ever-changing and suddenly it stops. and starts again. keep moving. nothing is wrong with not wanting to sit still.

VENUS

passionate. romantic. loving to be loved. courtship. adoration and taste. you are your own personal aesthetic. you are hand written love letters in copper ink. you are "let me show you just how much i can love you." you are royalty and class. love has no bounds with you. your heart is wrapped in chocolate tin foil. you attract what you manifest so keep believing in love. it is you and you, it.

MERCURY

clever. intelligent and witty. wisdom, sharpness, anxiety and indecisiveness. you are the comedian. the "make someone laugh if they are crying" kind of lover. you dont want to think too much about anything because that stops you from just having fun, but your brain doesn't ever shut off. you are curious and never ending. forecast and shadows. the smell of clean sheets.

EARTH

nurturing, generous and caring. introverted, tolerant, honest and trustworthy. you are "my phone is always on, call me any time." you are "i feel like i'm everyone's therapist." you are impressive with your stability and peacefulness. you are wallpapers of cows and fields of ever-growing seeds. you are the best friend. mother nature. ice cold water and the smell of rain.

JUPITER

optimistic. hopeful. generous and compassionate. you are the guardian angel. you are 4:44 am and a sense of being watched over. you enrich the lives of others just by existing and caring for them. you give as many blessings as you receive and there is always more to go around. careful not to become too over-confident in these abilities. what makes you jupiter is your belief that ego has no part in caring and love. you are softness and the smell of almond coffee.

Stats

Proud | Humble (A quiet pride, knowing she’s capable without arrogance.) Impulsive | Rational Mischievous | Behaved (Maybe I’ll flip this though.) Sympathetic | Unsympathetic Emotional | Stoic Devout | Skeptic Cunning | Honest (Not sure yet, leaning towards honest though.) Kind | Cruel

Alchemy - 5%

Illusory - 15% (Primary Magical Specialization)

Elemental - 9% (Secondary Magical Specialization)

Healing - 5% (Secondary Magical Specialization, but starts after the resurrection I assume)

Relationships

Ezrah Rhys - Ezrah is the person she loves most in world aside from Florian and Emil or Orion, and she’s not afraid to show it. Of course, as a proud and doting big brother he feels the same way about his Star. Only his love for [his suitor] equals to that of his love for his sister.  

Queen Evelyn Vasil - Alina just. Does not like the queen at all starting from that first day when she comforted Florian, telling him that it’s okay to still be grieving and to cry as much as he needs and hugging him as long as he wants. And that dislike just grows over the years, and in turn Alina is on thin ice with the queen except for the fact that she knows that the younger woman would do anything for her son and that’s the main reason why she’s permitted Alina to become Florian’s advisor.

Prince Florian Vasil - Florian and Alina are each other’s best friend and first love.

Emil Renaud - When he permitted himself to be friends with her, Alina and Emil were as close of friends as they could be because of his circumstances with his family. They both miss each other dearly, though Emil more than Alina since she has a support system and she was his respite in the first place. Emil is also Alina’s first crush.

Marcella Dumont - Ever since Ezrah introduced them, Marcella’s been a part of the family - at least as far as Alina’s concerned, and treats her like another sibling. 

Dimitri Volkov - n/a

Ariadna Novik - n/a

Rowan Lozano - n/a

Orion Morosov - n/a

Cier Katsaros - n/a

Kira Argyris - n/a

Ilaria Thayer - n/a

Trivia

- In the future, when she’s married to Florian and Emil they have four children together (two and two); Alina has two daughters with Florian - Eliana and Flora, and a pair of twins with Emil, a boy and a girl called Ezra (yes without the H) and Alice. Birth order is Eliana, Alice, Ezra and Flora.

- In the (non-canon) Florian/Orion poly they have three children (two and one), with Orion’s child with Alina being a daughter called Valerie. The birth order is Eliana, Flora and Valerie.

[fallenlightsif]

So who would your romance options romance in other games?

Okay, here’s the ask I messed up posting last night lol! This took way longer than I wanted it to because it was really hard to decide!

Florian: I think I’ve said this before (?) but Arthur from @the-kingshound because he’s very loving and supportive and Florian definitely needs that. He’s also an example of nobility that isn’t toxic, which Flor also desperately needs (that and a hug).

Marcella: K de la Renta from Golden by @milaswriting because she’d want to find out what was beneath the surface and proceed to fall ass over feet in love (as she does).

E: Kallias from @greatprotector-if because they might actually be a good influence. E is so repressed and would be hella flustered so it’d be hilarious. Then again, E is also used to being a babysitter so it fits.

Ari: Jun Hyuga from @mata-aetara-if because she loves a challenge. She could beat his ass and then proceed to heal him when he’s being an idiot, so obviously it’s a match made in heaven.

Dimitri: Gotta be Xander from @unwilling-souls-if because he’d want to know why he’s like that and he’d be intrigued by him and then trip and fall into love lmfao.

Orion: He would totally romance someone like Sebastian from @infamous-if because at his core he’s a sucker for sweet and slow romances with lots of longing. Honorable mention to Orion also from Infamous because that would be funny and very confusing.

Rowan: Noah from Novaturient by @kalorphic because, let’s be real, Rowan is moronsexual. They’d also totally help with the taking over the world thing; that’s definitely a Rowan thing to do.

Kira: Hannie Blackthorne from @thrill-seeker-if because she loves a good rivalry and would also make them hand made knitted goods with fae magic. Would protect them with her life.

Cier: I think Grayson Donohue by @if-mirrormine because he longs for that kind of devotion and loyalty. Would be just as loyal in return and also would love the cuddling.

Ilaria: This one was especially hard but I landed on Marco from Blood Moon by @barbwritesstuff because he might actually be able to make her smile. She’d fall pretty hard and fast after that.

BONUS!

Ezrah: Levi Harcourt from The Spirited: Origins by @yuveim because he totally has a thing for haunted boys that are good at cuddling.

[fallenlightsif]

"Hold on to spinning around, confetti falls to the ground, may these memories break our fall"

I Can See You: MC/Cier

"I can see you waitin' down the hall from me, and I could see you up against the wall with me; and what would you do, baby, if you only knew?"

Castles Crumbling: Ilaria

"Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off; and here I sit alone behind walls of regret, falling down like promises that I never kept"

Foolish One: Dimitri

"And the voices say, “you are not the exception, you will never learn your lesson”; foolish one, stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come"

Timeless: Orion/MC

"That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs, story of a romance torn apart by fate; hundreds of years ago, they fell in love, like we did, and I'd die for you in the same way"

[fallenlightsif]

ROs theme songs????

Not exactly in reference to their romance routes, more their past and character arcs.

Florian: Broken Crown by Mumford & Sons

The mirror shows not, your values are all shot; but oh, my heart was flawed, I knew my weakness

Marcella: Eight by Sleeping at Last

And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat, an ocean of tears will spill for what is broken; I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again

E: Last Words of a Shooting Star by Mitsuki

And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy, they'll think of me kindly when they come for my things; they'll never know how I'd stared at the dark in that room with no thoughts

Ari: This Will End by The Oh Hellos

I will wait for this to end, the back and forth, the battery; for you, at last, to comprehend the kind of love of which I speak

Dimitri: Spirits by The Strumbellas

And I don't want a never-ending life, I just want to be alive while I'm here; and I don't want to see another night, lost inside of lonely life while I'm here

Julian: Angel on Fire by Halsey

‘Cause nobody seems to ask about me anymore and nobody ever cares about anything I think, and nobody seems to recognize me in the crowd, in the background screaming

Orion: Saints by Echos

Why don't you throw me to the wolves? I thought you were one; you were standing there like an angry god, counting out my sins just to cross them off

Rowan: Are You Satisfied? by MARINA

High achiever, don't you see? Baby, nothing comes for free; they say I'm a control freak driven by a greed to succeed

Kira: Gold by EDEN

And if you want you can breathe on your own, this isn't what I thought but it's beautiful; make peace with your mistakes and they'll turn to gold

Cier: Our Way by Canyon City

Look at my face, time's drawing a line, I crossed and I lost where the road divides; but I think I'm gone where I'm going tonight, I still don't know but I hope you'll find me there

Ilaria: Daylight by David Kushner

Tryna wash away all the blood I've spilt, this lust is a burden that we both share; two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer; our souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt

[fallenlightsif]

Okay now an RO ask for all of them lol. What would you say each RO’s primary love language is, both giving and receiving?

Florian:

Giving - Physical Touch

Receiving- Physical Touch

Marcella:

Giving - Word of Affirmation

Receiving - Physical Touch

E:

Giving - Gifts

Receiving - Acts of Service

Ari:

Giving - Quality Time

Receiving - Quality Time

Dimitri:

Giving - Acts of Service

Receiving - Quality Time

Orion:

Giving - Acts of Service

Receiving - Physical Touch (it’s complicated)

Rowan:

Giving - Acts of Service

Receiving - Acts of Service

Kira:

Giving - Physical Touch

Receiving - Quality Time

Cier:

Giving - Words of Affirmation

Receiving - Gifts

Ilaria:

Giving - Words of Affirmation

Receiving - Acts of Service

[fallenlightsif]

Okay one more, I don’t want to be greedy lol.

How do the ROs respond to terms of endearment, like “my sweet, my love, light of my life” etc.?

Florian: Blushes every time but always responds with an endearment of his own. Thinks it’s very sweet and openly loves hearing you call him specifically “my love.”

Marcella: She goes so over the top with calling you endearments and doesn’t care who hears; she’s ridiculously excited when you use them for her.

E: Says they don’t like endearments, actually loves them a lot. They’re not used to open and unashamed affection so it takes a while for them to get used to it.

Ari: She calls you “dearest” literally every chance she gets, so she’s quite happy when you respond in turn. She loves nicknames/endearments in general for all her friends/family.

Dimitri: He gets really flustered and embarrassed, especially in front of other people, but he’s still pleased that you’re willing to openly call him endearments and publicly claim him.

Orion: Really not expecting it the first time it happens, and is somehow still startled every time after that. He loves you a lot, and knowing you love him just as much makes him turn to goo.

Rowan: Calls you sarcastic endearments from time to time, like “pet” and “headache.” So when you whip out “my love” they kinda stop working for a second and proceed to tell you to do it more often.

Cier: He’s head over feet in love and has called you every mushy endearment under the sun by your second week together, so he’s glad you’re participating but also trying to one up you in terms of ridiculousness.

Kira: She calls you “my heart” semi-frequently and always smiles when you refer to her similarly. Endearments are like sprinkles for Kira; a nice topping, but she’s better with actions over words.

Ilaria: Doesn’t like it at first because she thinks you’re making fun of her. When she realizes you’re serious with the endearments, she softens a lot and is more receptive to appreciating them.

[fallenlightsif]

Who would the cast in FL get along with best from your other games?

(Here's the resend!!)

Asdksjdhj I’ll answer the ask under the correct one this time!

Florian: Would get along so well with Viktor from @disenchantedif tbh. They’re both very soft and love their friends with their whole hearts, very protective at their cores.

Marcella: Tbh she’d get along well with Luci from @disenchantedif just because they have similar trauma related to their families, but Marcie escaped way sooner. I think she’d help them realize that there’s light at the end.

That or Niy from @reapersbayif simply because Niy is a pirate and therefore has a boat.

E: Surprisingly enough, Kai from @reapersbayif. Kai would kill E’s family for them to jumpstart the healing process and would try and understand E’s quirks and difficulties on a deeper level than most, I think.

Ari: Amri from @disenchantedif because she respects the integrity and understands the pain of your family not accepting who you want to become. She’d totally help them right a tell-all exposé.

Dimitri: He would beat sense into Cam from @theunseelieif with a hammer but after that they’d be good friends.

Would also get along well with Kendall from @theunseelieif because they have similar anxieties of being unloveable. They’d hate themselves with insisting the other should live themselves and not see the irony in it at all.

Orion: Has to be Kiran from @theunseelieif. Orion’s biggest fear is betrayal and Kiran would rather cut off their own arm than betray a friend. Kiran would also hug Orion, which he sorely needs.

Rowan: Mica from @reapersbayif because they’re an academic but in a much softer way than Rowan, and I think ultimately Rowan would want to protect that softness in a way Rowan themselves was never protected.

Kira: Would absolutely love Mari from @reapersbayif! Someone give Kira a gun and the game will be over in one chapter lmfao. For real though, Mari and Kira is a friendship match made in hell and they’ll wreck everyone. Mari with fae magic at their disposal? Someone call a medic.

Cier: Aub from @theunseelieif because they enjoy similar brands of chaos. That or Theo from @disenchantedif because…again, similar brands of chaos. Those three could fuck shit up.

Ilaria: Probably Josie from @theunseelieif because Josie would snap her out of her self destructive spirals and Ilaria would kill someone for her vampire bestie.

[fallenlightsif]

why am i only just now finding out there's elves in this universe?? are any of mc's ros elven?

Lol yes, Kira is fully elven and Cier is a half-elf!

[fallenlightsif]

pls I’m just thinking about Rowan getting pissed and enlisting Kira and Cier to raise hell

RIP to that person because let me tell you, if Rowan were to enlist them for help they would go all out. Kira and Cier would jump at the chance to help normally snippy and mean Rowan do something unhinged.

Orion is driving them to go do their unhinged shit. Kira is shotgun, Cier is excited, and Rowan is still plotting an actual war crime.

[fallenlightsif]

this might be a tad late but you said to send taylor swift songs for the ROs vibe check so i raise you:

Bigger Than The Whole Sky

and

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

Bigger Than The Whole Sky? Cier.

Did some force take you because I didn't pray? Every single thing to come has turned into ashes 'Cause it's all over, it's not meant to be So I'll say words I don't believe

I won't spoil much, but he lost a younger sister and he never really recovered from that.

Would've, Could've, Should've? Ilaria.

You're a crisis of my faith Would've, could've, should've If I'd only played it safe I would've stayed on my knees And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil At nineteen

Her past is filled with people she wishes she'd never met, but one, in particular, stands out. She didn't get that scar on her face in a real battle, after all. He's dead now, though, and she's the one that put him in the ground.
