orchid and violet for Nike (from writinglyra)

Thanks @writinglyra for the ask!

Nike + Orchid - What is your OC's biggest fear?

If you asked Nike that question five years ago, he'd have said something like death or insects. But now....I think he's afraid of making the wrong choice and having to live with the awful consequences that follow. It's something that I noted down in my notebook actually, how he feels a bit like his Hesperia (his own country) trapped in a game between two powers, where no matter who he sides with or who wins, he and the people he loves will never come out of it unscathed. No matter what choice he makes, he'll always have to hurt someone, sacrifice something, risk everything. And once he makes that choice...he can't take it back.

Nike + Violet - Do a voice claim for your OC?

Oof, no. I can't even visualize what he looks like half the time XD

↳ Fenice + Aretos

They're cousins, at least if Aretos is who he truly says he is. And if he is, then they are in direct competition for the throne Fenice desires so much. They developed an unlikely friendship in Hesperia, when Aretos masqueraded as the enigmatic noble Sartore Vitae. Fenice often relied on his counsel and information to help bring Isidore under her thumb. Aretos, meanwhile, sees a lot of himself in Fenice, almost the the point of intense projection. He sees Fenice as an ally in his own vengeance against Dantalion, if only he could make her see that for herself.

↳ Fenice + Nike

They're bound for eternity in holy matrimony. Neither of them are happy about it, but their happiness hardly matters when politics is thrown into the mix. But their status as husband and wife doesn't change the fact that they, and their families, are bloody enemies. Fenice must watch her back against any of Nike's schemes, constantly aware of the viper that sleeps in her bed each night. Nike must sacrifice his pride and be subservient to the daughter of his enemy to protect his younger sister, but he cannot simply standby as his 'wife' plans to kill his brother.

↳ Nike + Aretos

Aretos and Nike have a working relationship. Aretos is one of the powers supporting Nike's brother from the shadows, and ever since Nike's marriage Aretos has been working as the liaison between the two Deominos brothers. But despite this, Nike knows Aretos is the furthest thing from a friend or ally.
