Making another post to focus on it + I ran out of tags on the last but Kallias (my cat shifter) as a kid being trained by his dad's war buddy dragonborn is such a perfect concept. Grizzled, battle-scarred white dragonborn training this little cat boy with an attitude. Managing to Somehow get the basics of combat into his head, despite how little Kallias ever wanted to learn this shit.
Little cat boy grows up into a flamboyant cat man. Still shit at respecting his responsibilities. But he sees this old dragonborn as more of a father than his own father ever was, & I am just. Emotions.
#speculation nation#kallias has an interesting backstory and im so sad hes barely gotten the chance to shine#rich boy born in a time of war. his parents being war heroes who are needed out on the front lines.#being trained to inherit their responsibilities. raised with the expectation of going to war himself with the use of his magic#his parents were absent at best. emotionally neglectful in reality.#but dragon dad was there... offering him support and guidance when he otherwise had none.#ive mentioned it before but fang started off as a backstory character to kallias. his buddy at the brothel he started frequenting lol#bc OH YEA the war ended and suddenly kallias no longer had to be the Chosen One or whatever.#dealing with the heartbreak of having his shithole boyfriend break up with him. starts just going out on the town just to feel Something#ends up enjoying hanging out with the Commoners. ends up with a good handful of friends who respect him for Him#not for who his parents are.#fang and kallias mesh so beautifully in a non-romantic way. bc yea even tho theres the physical aspect (kallias hiring fang lol)#theyre not interested in each other romantically. BUT they still enjoy each other's presence & love talking#two sides of a coin. both shifters but born on opposite ends of the social spectrum#kallias born into money while fang was born on the streets#kallias with Blessed Blood. fang with Cursed Blood.#but with the ultimate thing. fang is relatively happy & content with his life. while kallias is very much not.#this being the kallias centric view of things. in fang's campaign the setup is a lot different#i wanted him to know kallias but it didnt work for him to know him Now. instead they were childhood friends#+ bc of Reasons shifters are Not Common in this world. so kallias is a tabaxi instead of a shifter.#but hes out in the world and maybe we can see him someday#and he knows fang's true name... cant wait for when they can meet again#LITERALLY pains me so much that i cant call fang by his true name. it's literally so cute.#maybe someday it will be revealed & i can use it... but for now... he is just fang#i mean fang is his name too but ykno#man i just cant stop rambling. i love these characters so much ok
