#and justice radiant as the sun; prince escalus

[ofglories]

You’d probably think Escalus would be someone easy to find a type for but, uh, no. He repressed so much of himself to be a good leader for Verona that he doesn’t know what kind of man he’s interested in and is a little too afraid to even try and figure it out. For now.

A quick doodle of Escalus without his ever present layers of coats and everything.

[ofglories]

I made a very dumb headcanon joke for Arthur, Bors, Emrys, and a few others so it's going under the cut-

Not every muse listed is one available here but yeah...

Escalus-Helios (Rider) ascensions 2 and 3. Most of the time Escalus is the one in control with Helios only mildly influencing him, but in the third ascension Helios takes complete control and everything from his manner of speech to the way he fights changes.

Working on designing Escalus in his normal appearance and his third ascension where he's more Helios-

mercutio: you don't love me at all-

"What's that? Ask Tybalt to hit you harder? My, what a masochist you've become, cousin."

Or perhaps he should ask Lady Gareth?

[ofglories]

Should he step in?

On one hand that is his precious baby cousin being attacked by young Tybalt. On the other...Mercutio needs to face the consequences of his own actions sometimes. And what better place than here as a Heroic Spirit where he's unlikely to ever be killed...again?

"...He's an adult now, after all."

Four new muses added to the muse list! I'll finish out their bios soonish (and whenever he releases for Luka) but they're all available for interactions now! And a quick tag drop too.

[ofglories]

He'll never admit it even under pain of death but...

Escalus named his firstborn son after Mercutio.

An important feature to note with Escalus and Helios is their eyes are different colors depending on which one is in charge and by how much.

When purely Escalus is in control of their shared body, his eyes are the blue-grey they've been his entire life. Nothing special or noteworthy, really.

When it's Helios, the shared eyes turn bright orange-gold. Fitting for the god/titan of the sun.

And when they're actually working together and their personalities are more merged, as rare as that is, their eyes are a vivid blue with an orange starburst through them.

One absolutely terrible liar who is also awful at being honest.

"There must surely be a way to silence a deity you share a Saint Graph with..."

His head is killing him. Escalus truly can't stand Helios sometimes.

how could a peacock lust for a lion? [ from lionel to escalus! ]

|| Starcrossed Quotes

For a long moment Escalus could only...stare.

Lionel calling him a peacock...? What could it mean? The prince of Verona could only wonder, trying to process it exactly. The whole question, in fact, had him feeling utterly lost and bemused. Was it his manner of dress? How odd if so, in Rider's opinion. Last he had checked he dressed fairly plainly especially for a man of his station. And then, with a small, unpleasant pang in his mind, Helios roused himself to speak with a mocking laughter.

"He's calling you pretty, idiot."

"Don't be absurd," Escalus retorted in his mind before slamming those mental walls back into place, shutting the passenger to his Saint Graph out.

Maybe...

No. Best to not make a further fool of himself by assuming anything!

"By your words I can only assume you've somehow, ah, become aware of my infatuation? Although the peacock comment seems a little unnecessary but I digress." A small cough. "You've done me a disserve by labeling it as lust, Sir Lionel. However you've learned of this, I must however insist that you forget in some way as I would rather get to know you as you are than... Well. I would simply prefer to know you as a person without worrying about that!"

Heavens but he wished he could properly shut out Helios' mocking laughter.

It was the truth! He was no expert in love nor even relationships, so would it not be best to know the man first before revealing anything?

[ofglories]

Excuse him, he has to go beat his head against a wall.

[ofglories]

"Ugh..."

Helios is being pushier than usual today to try and wrest control from their shared Saint Graph. Escalus is going to try to nap and ignore it all.
