Haha, THREE asks! Break for Three, Midnight for Lee, Skin for Cazenar!

break: What would cause your OC to break down completely? What do they look like when that happens? Has anyone ever seen them at their lowest?

Failing to protect their loved ones and thus losing them. Both due to the grief and the losing their life’s purpose. It hasn’t happened yet! It hopefully will not happen! It would likely involve the outpouring of every emotion they’ve spent their entire life repressing. Their hair might even get very slightly messy.

I think the lowest Three got in canon was the suicidal ideation in the mail room which, uh, they did very much go to the one place they couldn’t be in contact with DarkBoard, helped Scorpius get into another dimension, and only when completely alone went, “Hey it could be really cool to kill myself!” So, no, no one else has seem that at their lowest, because they refuse to admit to their lowest when there are other people around.

midnight: What keeps your OC up at night? Do they have nightmares? Fears? Anxieties? What do they do in the small hours of the morning when they should be sleeping?

Being a Dark Urge keeps Lee  up at night! And gives them nightmares! Being a bhaalspawn sure is fun! 

They’ve always struggled with insomnia and bad sleep but it definitely gets worse after waking up having brutally murdered someone in their sleep. They try getting the party to tie them up before they sleep after that, and when it turns out they can and will wriggle out of any binding in their sleep, they start trying not to sleep at all. They spend a lot of nights using whatever bits and pieces they can get hold of to make little sculptures to occupy themselves. And if any other party members happen to be up for some reason, ramble to them nonstop about whatever topics they can think of.

skin: How comfortable is your OC in their skin? Do they grapple with anything that lives inside them—a beast, a curse, a failure, a monster? How do they face the smallest, weakest, most horrible version of themself? Are they able to acknowledge it at all?

Cazenar would tell you he’s extremely comfortable in his own skin, who wouldn’t be if they looked this beautiful? He’s totally not grappling with feeling like he’s an inherently terrible person, and has been unworthy of love or forgiveness ever since being forced to kill as a very small child! He’s fine!

He faces the most horrible version of himself by pretending that it’s totally all intentional and leaning into the worst person he can possibly be and just having fun with it. This is definitely very healthy for himself and everyone around him.

I played through Grand Academy and the sequel with my terrible Betrayal son Cazenar and he and Aurion are the Perfect Couple, Like they will not stop making dramatic monologues at each other and then betraying each other and then making out while cackling that “You have fallen for my charms once again,” or some bullshit

Also the game dialogue tells me that Aurion probably wouldn’t be happy about me making out with Phil too. Cazenar, however, doesn’t realise this.

“You mean nothing to me,” Cazenar gloats at Aurion one day. “Phil’s far better at kissing than you are.”

“Wait, what??” says Aurion. He looks distressingly more hurt than impressed at this particular betrayal.  “You… You’ve betrayed me for the last time! I thought… How dare you throw away our bond like this! Did I - I mean, did it mean nothing to you??!”

“Wait, no, shit,” says Cazenar. “Is this not… it was only one time! I can stop flirting with Val too. if you want!”

“Val too??” shrieks Aurion. “I will destroy you, Vampyroteuthida!” He stalks away to work on a terrible revenge plan and definitely not to cry.

The next day Cazenar poisons Aurion’s breakfast and asks him to be his nemesis. He gives a heartfelt and dramatic speech about how those others mean Nothing to him and it’s always been Aurion, how could he even consider another nemesis, and he swears to prove a worthy and dedicated nemesis by not flirting with anyone else again. He has to pause several times to vomit because of the poison Aurion put in Cazenar’s breakfast, but he feels he owes it to Aurion to get through the speech. 

They hold hands later as they lie in their hospital beds recovering from the poisoning. They may or may not both have more poison capsules hidden under their fingernails.

🚲 : Does your OC enjoy playing the field? Or are they more monogamy-minded?😍 : What does your OC find irresistible in others?💘 : Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming? <3 👀

Thank you! And answered for Jazz and Cazenar.

Jazz

Does your OC enjoy playing the field? Or are they more monogamy-minded?

I don’t know if Jazz really plays the field (not rlly a fan of the question having the only two options be Player or Monogamous, but oh well) so much as she just isn’t looking for a serious relationship. Or I guess, doesn’t feel capable of even examining what one would be. Before Halcyon, I don’t think she ever had a relationship that lasted more than a few months; even if she’s with a perfect partner, she’s gonna end up getting scared of commitment and vulnerability and running away. Meaningless sex when you’ve both agreed not to mention it again afterwards is just so much easier.

Jazz and Ellie do eventually begin a “real” relationship, after several months of One Time Meaningless Sex that really isn’t meaningless or one time at all, and I think Jazz is monogamous from that point onwards? But it takes so much work to even get to a point where she can have a healthy relationship, I haven’t yet thought about whether there could come an eventual point where she was able to handle multiple romantic relationships.

What does your OC find irresistible in others?

Good fucking question. Kindness frightens her, charm she doesn’t trust, good looks are nice but hardly worth losing her head over. I guess what she likes most is honesty--the kind where you don’t try to hide away the nasty parts of yourself, and let Jaz know exactly what she’s getting into with you. And short hair. She likes short hair.

Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming?

Jazz has never seen the need to bother with charm (and again, doesn’t trust people who do) and has very little flirting ability. Generally, if she likes a girl, she’ll offer to buy her a drink, and if that goes well, tell her she finds her attractive. I think she’s confident enough about it (and hot enough) that it comes off as charming, and she has a pretty good success rate.

Cazenar

Does your OC enjoy playing the field? Or are they more monogamy-minded?

Cazenar very much enjoys playing the field, and getting to sleep with as many attractive men as possible. Ideally, he’d have an open relationship, and discuss with his long-term partner which things are okay to do with other people and which aren’t, but he’s willing to be monogamous if his partner wants. Along with a small amount of flirting he’s just incapable of turning off.

What does your OC find irresistible in others?

Older guys who are powerful and ambitious, have a great sense of style, and absolutely zero scruples. The more evil, the hotter. 

Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming?

I’m gonna say yes, but still not as good as he thinks he is. It would help if there was less, “Wow, you’re almost as hot as me, the most handsome and charming man you’ve ever met,” but if you can get over how obnoxious he is, then sure, he flirts well and often.

…Probably less so when with someone he has a genuine romantic interest in. It’s still often, but at this point, his method of flirting is to become as annoying as he possibly can to the guy, and drag him mercilessly at almost every opportunity.

wAIT I NEVER POSTED MY CAZENAR THING ON TUMBLR

Hi my name is Cazenar Vampyroteuthida and I have short ebony black hair with red and purple glitter in it and vampire teeth (that’s how I got my name) and scary red eyes like blood and a lot of people tell me I look like Count Dracula (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Professor Mortwain but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have dark brown skin but everyone in skyrim tells me I’m white. I’m also a villain, and I go to a villain school called The Grand Academy for Future Villains in a pocket dimension in its own reality where I’m in the second year (I’m twenty-two). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black cloak and tight black leather trousers, a high black collar because I’m a villain and black heels. I was wearing black lipstick, gold body glitter, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside the Academy. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

“Hey Cazenar!” shouted a voice. I looked up. It was…. Aurion Umbrator Malisar!

“What’s up Aurion?” I asked.

“Nothing.” he said shyly.

But then, I heard my friends call me and I had to go away.

[thenugking]

oh here's some fun shit: my girl rinko (kny oc) has like ZERO consistent morals all she knows is punch demons and forge swords. yes she'll follow orders to the letter but going beyond that? no. she made a deal with a demon one time because she was hungry and wanted to go home

I mean I support her.

Cazenar has, in the past, tried to hold moral opinions. In Skyrim ‘verse, he becomes the apprentice of a nice travelling mage, and belives that yes, even if the magic is kind of dodgy, we can use it to help people!

Then the mage starts killing people to resurrect them as zombies to work for him, so Cazenar betrays him to the Vigilants of Stendarr and goes, yes, being Lawful Good is the only correct moral stance and dodgy magic is Bad!!

And then the Vigilants make big speeches about how they’re showing no mercy to anyone who’s like, an “evil” creature but not actually doing anything wrong, or who got caught up in a daedra’s plot through no fault of their own, so Cazenar just goes, “fuck it, people just aren’t good so I might as well embrace it and just go be a villain”

So he becomes a vampire and has a good time hamming it up being evil and not feeling bad about his actions, and is totally happy being loyal to his vampire pals!

Until his sister, a vampire hunter, comes along and nearly gets killed by one, so he betrays the vampires to save her, and she tells him to go off and redeem himself and he’s just, “Uhh what the fuck’s a moral? Okay I’ll be good. I won’t eat people. Wait but I’m hungry. it doesn’t count if I’m hungry, right??”

He goes to the College of Winterhold and wonders if he should betray his college pals to Ancano, because Ancano’s hot and tbh he’s probably betrayed people for worse reasons??
