#Zacharius Alcost

[anryuuepic]

I saw you did a Dom/Switch/Sub for the Ghiasuli guards could you do one for the Daryan?

OwO An interesting question...

. . . 

Artair — Switch leaning toward soft dom. He’s a very gentle person no matter what, but it’s generally more comfortable for him to be the one in control of things, as he always is. When he does sub, it’s a very relaxing experience, but he’ll only allow it to happen with someone he trusts completely. 

Harlow — She either operates as a very playful, teasing dom or a fairly bratty, difficult sub. Sex makes Harlow somewhat nervous, so she covers up her insecurities by making everything lighthearted a fun. So long as no one’s getting too serious about it, she can assume either role and not really care. 

Orion — Not really either? He’s generally very passive during sex, and kind of just does whatever his partner wants of him. He can be dominant and cruel if they prefer, or he can lie back and take orders. It doesn’t really matter, so long as he’s not expected to do too much. And so long as his partner is content. 

Gisen — He’ll act like/insist that he’s completely dominant, but the reality is that he’s a bratty sub who likes being put in his place... if someone can earn it. Gisen talks big, as one would expect, but when it comes to what he actually wants, a fight for dominance ending in his loss would be his ideal. 

Rinme — She’s generally a dom who takes out her frustrations by absolutely torturing her sub, but if she’s in the right mood, she’s willing to try things the other way around. Rinme generally just wants some control for once in her life, so any situation where she’s calling the shots is likely to be acceptable. 

Benniya — Switch in a weird way. While she’s willing to follow orders and be “submissive”, there’s always an unspoken expectation that her partner does their job to her standards. When she’s a dom, she’s beyond harsh and fully demands that the person she’s with submit to every command she gives. 

Temperance — She’s a very cruel, nasty dom who delights in watching her partner squirm and cry. Very much a sadist. Temperance isn’t generally one to get personally involved in sex, though, so it would most likely be her doing something to someone without herself ever being touched or “included”. 

Draven — Does it matter? Sex with Draven involves him going absolutely feral. Few people would be able to walk away uninjured. Dominant and submissive are hardly relevant concepts considering that all he wants to do is have as much fun as possible and enjoy the sight of someone being torn apart. 

Konstanze — Completely, utterly dominant. Konstanze is a force to be reckoned with even in the bedroom, and she’s the kind of dom who all but destroys whoever she’s with. While not cruel, she does enjoy pushing her partner to the limits of what they can take in an attempt to match her stamina.

Joziah — Very much a sub. If you can get him to relax and obey orders without having to worry about failing, he actually calms down a little, for once. Joziah is most a fan of having his worries taken away via someone else assuming control... and of course, him doing everything possible to be good. 

Galia — She’s a very soft, nervous dom. Galia is likely to accept being submissive just because she’s too scared to say otherwise, but when she’s comfortable with someone, she’s definitely the dominant party. It gives her a form of confidence to assume a role like that and see someone like it. 

Zacharius — Switch. He’s okay with pretty much anything. If his partner was to wreck him, he can work with that. If they want him to take control, that works too. He’s not at all picky when it comes to roles, and has no shame either way. It’s just a matter of negotiation and figuring out what works for both people.

Winterkill — A terrifying dom who’s likely to turn her partner into some kind of experiment once she’s done. Or during the act, depending on what mood she’s in. Winterkill has no interest in being submissive in the slightest. If she’s not entirely in control and watching someone break, she’s not going to like it.

What kind of drunks are the Daryan guards? OwO

Artair — He’s probably the safest drunk. Aside from getting a little more relaxed and good-humored, Artair generally just stays in his seat, keeps to himself, and drinks just enough to feel calm for once. He’s never been known to overindulge on anything, so no one knows what he’s like when he’s truly, truly drunk. 

Harlow — Honestly, alcohol just ups her anxiety. Harlow generally seems pretty okay, but when she gets drunk enough, she starts having panic attacks and bursts of intense anxiety that are basically crippling. She can never remember once she’s sober again, but strange things come to mind when she’s drunk.

Orion — When he’s drunk, everything becomes hilarious. Orion, despite his usual relaxed demeanor, turns into a giggling mess when he’s thoroughly intoxicated. He’s somewhat rougher as well, physically speaking, but he’s mostly just going to be laughing at stupid shit so hard he can’t stand up. 

Gisen — He’s just a grouchy old man who doesn’t do much of anything but sit around and complain about whatever comes to mind. Gisen knows better than to get violent when he’s impaired, but he’ll absolutely talk shit about anything and anyone. He’s gotten himself into some trouble with this before. 

Rinme — She’s a furious, raging drunk who wants to beat the living shit out of anyone who even slightly gets on her bad side. All of Rinme’s frustrations come out when her inhibitions are brought down, and it’s scary. However, she’s also prone to fits of hysterical, stress-induced, utterly inconsolable crying. 

Benniya — She’s completely silent. It’s not exactly a surprise, but you’ll have a very hard time telling when Benniya is actually drunk. She doesn’t talk (which is nothing new), and instead just sits with her drink without engaging anyone. The only real tell is that her face flushes quite a bit and her balance is off. 

Temperance — No one’s really sure. While she does drink socially, Temperance has never drunk enough (at least, not in public) to actually show any signs of it. She remains polite and composed while everyone else begins to lose their faculties... and seems to enjoy that part a little more than she should. 

Draven — An absolute maniac. Really, what did you expect? When drunk, Draven alternates between starting loud, raucous bursts of song and dance, getting in the face of anyone he finds mildly irritating, and initiating brawls (either mass or just him) that are likely to end in corpses.

Konstanze — A mix of highly aggressive and just plain done. Konstanze does not relax when she has alcohol in her system. Instead, she gets twice as intense... and with a much lower idiocy tolerance, to boot. She’ll be calm enough on her own, but irritate her, and you’re asking for problems. 

Joziah — He’s a lot like Artair in that he finally relaxes a little bit. Kind of. It’s... debatable. He’s every bit as hyperactive and intense as usual, but much, much clumsier and uncoordinated both physically and mentally. Someone usually has to keep an eye on him so he doesn’t wind up getting hurt. 

Galia — When she’s drunk, Galia is just quiet. She doesn’t want to talk or interact with anyone, and usually refuses alcohol in public because she knows it’ll just make her want to go back to her room and stay there. She tends to get very depressed and miserable when drunk, so she avoids it when possible. 

Zacharius — He’s a very jovial, friendly drunk who loosens up quite a bit and really just wants to get along with everyone. Alcohol lowers his usual defenses, and he winds up acting much more friendly than usual. The only problem is that he also gets more prone to impulsive behavior... usually fight-related. 

Winterkill — Like Temperance, no one knows. She doesn’t drink at all, claiming that she can’t risk being intoxicated should something in her division require attention. People have various theories as to what the real reason is, but what’s clear is that Winterkill has no intention of showing anyone that side of herself.

💕 For Harlow, Konstanze, Galia and Zacharius? Pretty please?

💕 for a love headcanon

Harlow

She doesn’t think about love. Ever, really. For someone in her position, something like a relationship is out of reach— not in the sense that it’s not allowed, but in the sense that she doesn’t see a point in letting her life be consumed by anything but what she loves to do. Harlow kind of likes the idea of having someone to protect and care for who’s all her own, but she also knows it wouldn’t be right. Despite how naive and carefree she acts, she’s aware that dragging someone into a relationship when she’d have very little time for them and could die at any day isn’t fair. So she intentionally pushes the idea of romance out of her mind. 

Konstanze

The two main reasons why Konstanze has never had a serious relationship are that her job consumes so much of her life that she simply doesn’t have the time... and that she’s so intense that no one has ever been able to keep up with her. She doesn’t want a partner who she’d always have to baby and help along— whoever she’d choose to be with would have to stand on her level and pull their own weight in full. So between that and how perpetually occupied she is with work (somewhat intentionally), Konstanze gave up on love a long time ago. A few short relationships when she was young never went anywhere, and she’s just plain done. 

Galia

She doesn’t see herself as worthy of a relationship. Between her persistent feelings of inferiority and her devotion to improving in the Guard, Galia is convinced that she neither has the time or the personality to be a good partner. She’s not very good at what she does (in her opinion), and until she makes herself better and more stable, there’s no reason why she should burden someone with herself. Galia doesn’t know whether she really wants a partner or not, but she doesn’t let herself think about it. Daydreaming about those kinds of things would get in the way of what she really needs to be doing, and that’s something she can’t allow. 

Zacharius

He likes the idea of having a relationship someday. Preferably a long-term partnership that’ll end in marriage and a family. While he’d never call himself a romantic, Zacharius likes companionship and closeness with other people. He thinks that he’s protective, capable, and kind enough to be a worthy partner... although he does worry that his job would make things difficult. With no need to continue a family line, he doesn’t have any real reason to find a partner, but the idea of having someone forever by his side is nice. Maybe if he ever quits his position, he’ll start looking. For now, it’s something that just rests in the back of his mind.

Zacharius Alcost Bio

Name: Zacharius Alcost

Species: Daryan

Race: Yellowscale

Role: Cold Captain within the Daryan Palace Guard. A tough, hardy person who keeps his force under solid control. A sane, skilled person, a good leader, but someone who often comes off as awkward and too stern. 

Affiliation: Palace Guard

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Height: 5’10

Appearance: Zacharius isn’t outstandingly tall, but the energy he gives off more than makes up for it. He’s built like a semi-truck, powerful through every part of him, and looks like he can break boulders. His hair is dark, cool brown, undercut, and rather fluffy. His eyes are a dark-ish shade of hazel, and heavy-lidded. His face looks stern, and he tends to look angry even when he isn’t. He has large scars on his chin from a severely broken jaw. 

Special Abilities/Strengths: Zacharius is a strong person, both physically and mentally. He’s very hardy and resilient, handles mental trauma well, and somehow keeps on kicking. He’s protective and surprisingly warm-hearted, and feels strongly for the people he cares about. He’s good at looking out for people, is extremely brave in times of crisis, and knows how to back up his words. He’s loyal and reliable, sticking to his word, and despite his serious nature, can be very soft with those close to him.

Weaknesses: Zacharius is overly stern and stoic. He has trouble showing emotions, especially positive ones, and usually looks vaguely angry. He can be brutal and cruel when he needs to be, and has some violent tendencies, especially in battle. He’s rather awkward socially, and doesn’t know how to show his better side even when he wants to. He gets lonely easily, and needs people to rely on him to feel quite right, something which does not mix well with his intimidating appearance and stony expressions. 

History: Zacharius is from a poor background. He grew up in the middle of nowhere in the northernmore plains, in some of the coldest liveable climate in the kingdom. He made his way down to the Guard when his family started leaving the area, and joined up mostly because he had nothing else to do with himself. His relationship with his family was decent, but poor enough that they didn’t stay with him in the end. He gained his current position five years ago, and saw the end of the war within his current role. 

Relationships: Zacharius’s relationships are an interesting mix. From the outside, most people are rather afraid of him, but those who get close are usually very fond of him. Konstanze respects him as a strong Captain, Joziah sees him as slow and too low-energy, and Galia looks up to him as something of an older brother. His subordinates mostly respect him, seeing him as a strong and fair superior who does well looking out for his people.

Personality: Zacharius is a quiet, powerful man who seems intimidating in both personality and body. He’s stoic and reserved, appears emotionally closed off, and is very awkward around others. However, his true nature is warm-hearted and rather soft– he just has trouble showing it. He’s very protective of the people that he considers his to guard, and has a strong fondness for those who need to be protected. That said, he has a major brutal side, and will absolutely destroy anyone who’s set in his path. He’s not cruel, but is an unstoppable force when it comes to his duty. He gets lonely surprisingly easily, and needs a surprising amount of attention.

Interests: Zacharius likes being with others, long training days, cold weather, and good weapons. He dislikes the heat, sunny days, being alone, and having too much paperwork to do. His hobbies are training with his soldiers and going on long missions in the coldest parts of the kingdom. 

Abilities: **TO BE ADDED**

Miscellaneous: Zacharius is absolutely terrible in the heat and hates warm days. Snowstorms remind him of home and make him feel calm. He’s almost scared off a lot of new recruits into his force. His face always looks vaguely angry. He’s considered breaking Draven’s knees many times. He’s been through a lot of injuries, and is considered to be remarkably hardy. He loves tough exercise and pushing his body to the maximum. Social interaction fuels him. He’ll always be most comfortable in the north. As someone who made it to Captain rank, he’s far more intelligent than he’s given credit for. 

Connotative description: A stoic, intimidating Captain who gives off an intimidating aura, but is actually a very warm-hearted person. Someone highly loyal and strong, who combines both soft and brutal sides.
