Blorbo Blursday!!! Yes yes.... hello yes...

Ok so I am Interested in many of your OCs, but I would like to know if you have any Alexandro Facts™️ you would be willing to share 👉👈

Hello! Thanks for the ask! Happy blorbo blursday!

Oh, do I. Absolutely. But i will say - this wip is like, rather angsty. I mean, that's the whole prompt, two siblings having to either fight one another or let the world burn away along with themselves. But, even so, i would say Alexandro's story is one of the most emotional, imo.

Cw for implications of violence, death mention.

He was born in the southern parts of the Forests of Solaria, not too far from Taylor's library. A kind man in a quiet, sleepy town where everyone knew each other by name. He was married to Amelia, a seamstress, and had a little kid, Leah.

However, a monster burnt down the village, and he was the only one left, for he'd been out as it happened. The grief and despair was such that he could do little else than flee, and became a sworn knight to monarchs Lionheart and Moonspeil of the ice kingdoms, working alongside a lethally skilled maid, Emilia Ravenwood.

As Aster's curse struck true, and Ivan and Andrea were born, Drew allowed the two to take Ivan and flee from the kingdom, leaving everything and everyone behind. However, before they could properly make it to the shores of the lands reigned by the Cyrus sun, their boat was attacked, and he sacrificed himself as bait to let Emilia and Ivan escape.

Even though she tried to find him again, she could not. Wherever he'd ended up, whatever happened to him, not even he remembers properly. All he knows is that he was filled with the impassiveness of the moon and the venom of its mercury, and one fateful night he broke free and slaughtered his captors.

Essentially, his insurmountable despair condensed into a curse. Now, where had he heard a vengeful spell like that before?

His sword grew deadlier, his armor and hair tinted scarlet red, sclera as dark as long burnt out coal and bloodthirst greater than any monster. He didn't trust himself to keep working as a protector, so he became an assassin, and was eventually hired by a "Lady Ann" to kill her brother. Sure, sure.

He's never returned to the ashes of his hometown, but he still keeps a small doll he'd taken from Leah that fateful day to sew it back together. Amelia could do it, yeah, but it was her day off, and he sure as hell wasn't going to interrupt that. Hm, he ponders the fact that the doll shares the same shade of hair he has.

Eventually, he and Emilia have one last fight, his curse matching the woman's renowned skills evenly, her conviction to protect her son just as unwavering as his strength. Who wins, is something Ivan fears he won't get to find out after he reunites with Andrea.

... well this got dark. Hm. Alexandro's favorite flower is a white lily. Reminds him of Amelia's perfume, too.
