5, 20, 21, & 31 for luca?

5. What was their childhood fear?

hmmmm probably being eaten by a seaworm. he was not a good sailor and his parents were a little ummm not harsh but like. a “eat your dinner or we’ll feed you to the worm” sort of thing! (the seaworms are also like. basically what the boats are a part of in this settling. like that space whale in dw) (i cant remember exactly what the seaworm real life counterpart is but they kinda look like leeches iirc)

20. What did they dream of "growing up" to be?

oh thats a Very good question, i think he wanted to be a lighthouse keeper! he cared enough about sailing and the ocean but was never really cut out for the physical Act of sailing (too bookish to have ever really gotten Tough), but he wanted to help in a way that was more suited to him, and it would give him lots of time to read.

21. How did they become an adventurer?

luca had been moving steadily inland, trying to gain a better education or at least to get a better access to books, and had to accept the fact that bc printing was expensive, books were expensive, and he was broke. he made a pact with the goddess of knowledge as a “if you make me stronger i will travel and learn more and commend more books to the eternal library.” he started taking small jobs, and then realized larger bounties would pay more, and he joined fern and e on a smaller bounty, and learned that fern Also had a strong love of knowledge and reading. the two of them basically mutually decided to hunt down the historic horde of the Lost Dragon King, as its said to have a Huge amount of lost history/culture/treasure. e specifically wants treasure, fern only wants knowledge, and luca is very good at processing that “coin can be exchanged for goods and services” as well as the books that dragon must have.

31. Who are they when they aren't with the party?

when he’s Completely alone a lot more relaxed! not fully, never Really fully, but he’s less deliberately charming/suave. he likes to cook, and is only Really comfy doing it alone, and he reads out loud and walks around. he talks to his familiar out loud a lot more instead of telepathically, and he’s less stiff. when hes with people that Aren’t the party hes skittish and lighter on his feet, and he goes Very quickly between Confident + Charming to just very Clammed Up. he somehow feels better trying to be suave with people who want less to do with him than he is with those that are actually willing to interact with him. he carries himself with a lot more uncalled for swagger when hes without the party but still in a crowd.
