#i love them both and i lowkey am thinking about Caolan being my backup if elanon dies cause that would be some juicy drama

[eladrins]

so my barbarian (Elanon's complicated boyfriend) is a selkie named Caolan and he's a Beast path barbarian. fights exclusively with his own natural weapons, mainly claws and occasionally bite. he's a big softie and uses his strength to protect people. as a couple he's definitely the sensible one and kind of balances out Elanon's impulsiveness with a hold on let's think about it for a minute kinda thing. He's a chaotic good bleeding heart and has kind of set up in his little territory of ocean to look after the place and rescue any hapless adventurers or sailors that get into trouble.

He and Elanon actually met when Elanon wandered into a sea hag's lair on the coast and got wreckt and he was lucky Caolan was nearby and followed a bit behind, expecting that this lil green elf was probably not aware of how dumb he was being. He ended up saving his life and looked after him as he recovered from almost dying quite horribly and the two grew close and became romantically involved.

Elanon gets restless in one place for too long so they travelled the Feywild together for some years, but Caolan was getting more and more homesick and couldn't bear to be away from the ocean he's connected too for too long and had to go back. They couldn't figure out a way that either one of them wouldn't be unhappy, so they sort of went long distance with the sort of agreement that they could both see other people if they wanted to while they're apart but they'd visit eachother whenever they could and are still very much in love, it's just circumstances that are difficult.

Elanon's the sort of, more polyamorous of the two. Like he definitely has the capacity to love more than one person in that way and has had flings over the years, he's very changeable and takes a liking to someone for a while and then gets bored and moves on, he hasn't met anyone yet who he actually wants a relationship with, it's mostly just passing fancies and whims. Caolan is sort of okay with the arrangement but is definitely a bit less enthusiastic about it, there's maybe a little jealousy that he hasn't talked to Elanon about, because when they see eachother it's not super rare but it's been a while and he never wants to ruin the time they have by broaching the subject. They have some issues they need to talk about, but the main thing is they both care for eachother very deeply, and Caolan would be very upset to learn about how much danger Elanon is in rn that he can't protect him from 🥺
