Vortex Praxidike if.. He was your fiancé

You get away with pretty much everything. Any crime you commit, he turns a blind eye to. Will he scold you? Yes. Will he do that while during paperwork to get you out of it? Also yes.

Being a neutral god and the leader of neutral gods is an upside and downside. On one hand, you don't get dragged into the many messes of the other sides. On the other hand, people will pester you for his opinion on things.

He lets you have your own little spot in the courtroom if you want to listen in to cases. You're free to customize it however you want.

Definitely gives you lots and lots of gifts. He wants to let you know that you're loved.

He spends whatever freetime he can with you. He doesn't have it very often, so he always wants to make it up to you.

He wants you to be involved in the wedding planning, because he values your opinion.

In general he holds your opinion in very high regard. He values all of your insight.

More than willing to talk to you about cases, in case you missed anything. No one can really stop him, and he always wonders what your insight would be.

Sometimes you can play a part in his judgements. He'll think about your perspective and mingle it with his own.

Rhys and Xander are his attendants (Xander isn't one officially yet, but he's recognized by all the gods) and they are now your attendants too. If Vortex can't be there, you can call one of them.

Literally no one will mess with you anymore. He has a lot of power, and if someone hurts you, they will probably get a death sentence. (No, that's not a joke.)

Very physically affectionate, even if he doesn't seem like it. He tends to have his tail, horns, and wings out around you, and usually his tail is wrapped around your leg. Either that, or he has you in his arms.

He loves with all of his heart when it comes to someone he cherishes, and you have his whole heart.

The fact that I actually had to look up the tip color is crazy

Green: Truth, 2 for Theros

Blue: Courage, 1 for Vortex

Black: Energy, 5 for Zane

Coral: Good Fortune 5 for Sanitive

The First Season - Theros Verity

"Does your OC ever tell their friends "white lies" to spare their feelings? Perhaps about their appearance or personality? If so, what was a recent example of this? If not, then how do their friends find this unflinching honesty?"

Theros has told many white lies, purely to spare his friends' feelings. usually, it's about their personality. A recent example was of Zorra asking him if he thought she could be a bit too pushy.

"How honest is your OC with their friends? Do their friends see them as inscrutable and difficult to get to know? Or as an open book - someone with their heart on their sleeve perhaps? Is the assessment of your OC's friends or companions completely accurate in this regard?"

Theros tries to be as honest as he can with his friends, and therefore they see him as an open book, but they don't think he wears his heart on his sleeve. It's.. somewhat accurate, as there are some things he's being purposely wrong about."

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"Is your OC one to lead from the front? Or are they more the follower in their group of friends or companions?"

Vortex has always been one to lead. Because of his personality, job, and just how he is. He can be a follower, but it will feel odd from time to time.

The Second Season - Zane Diago

"Does your OC ever feel the need to retreat from others to recharge their emotional batteries? Are they something of an introvert who enjoys spending time alone? Or are they more extroverted and someone who needs to be with other people to energise themselves? Or does this vary depending upon circumstances? Or even the people in question?"

Many times yes. Zane has extroverts for siblings, and he's an introvert, so he likes his alone time. However, it can vary, especially if it's around those he truly trusts and cares about.

Source Of Madness - Sanitive

"Does your OC believe that they bring good or bad fortune to others? Have they ever worried that bad news and traumatic events follow them wherever they go and felt bad for others who are caught up in their wake? Conversely, do they see themselves as being particularly lucky or leading an especially charmed life? If so then do they see this as rubbing off on those around them in a positive fashion?"

Sanitive believes she brings bad fortune to others, and she knows it very well. She doesn't feel bad about it, because it's in her nature to just.. not care about that. She enjoys making others suffer, after all.

Mistletoe 1&3 w/ Vortex and Maia

Pine 1&3 w/ Theros and Sanitive

New Vortex header jumpscare

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"1. Who was your OC’s first friend? What drew them to each other? Were they expecting to get along? Or was it a surprise to them both?"

Vortex's first friend was Star. In the infant days of Mej, the two continued in each other a lot, purely because of their responsibilities. They didn't expect to get along since their jobs sometimes conflict. But in the end, they're both grateful to have the other.

"3. Do other people experience your OC as having a “peaceful” energy? Or are they inclined to restlessness - or even fractiousness?  Do others find them relaxing company?"

Vortex does actually have a peaceful energy about him, despite how he's constantly working. He doesn't let the stress get to him, and it can often put others at ease. That, and he's someone trustworthy to be around.

The Fourth Season - Maia Nazz

"1. Who was your OC’s first friend? What drew them to each other? Were they expecting to get along? Or was it a surprise to them both?"

It's hard to say, in all honesty. I would say the other Seaons, but in reality? It was probably Vortex. Maia, despite all her bravado, feels deeply insecure regarding her age and her place as one of the Seasons. She would have been a lot worse off if Vortex wasn't there to push her in the right direction.

"3. Do other people experience your OC as having a “peaceful” energy? Or are they inclined to restlessness - or even fractiousness?  Do others find them relaxing company?"

Absolutely not. She is literal extrovert energy. Do not ever expect to feel peaceful around her. Ever.

The First Season - Theros Verity

"1. What is the worst physical injury or illness that your OC has ever suffered? How long did it take them to recover? Does it still have an impact upon them now?"

Once, a god went over Noelle's boundaries while Theros was around, and he lost his shit. The thing is, it requires constant concentration for the Seasons to keep up their perceived forms. While now it's second nature, if their concentration lapses, something can go wrong, and something did.

Long story short, he got some nasty wounds on his chest and abdomen. He was in a deep sleep recovering for several decades, which meant several decades without summer. It still impacts him now, as he tries his damn hardest not to lose his cool anymore.

"3. Does your OC make a good patient? Or are they resistant to being given medical treatment - or even agreeing to rest?"

He's surpsinginly a good patient. He understands the importance of needing to rest up, even if it'll heal in just a few minutes for him.

Source of Madness - Sanitive

"1. What is the worst physical injury or illness that your OC has ever suffered? How long did it take them to recover? Does it still have an impact upon them now?"

Once, Sanitive did something.. insanely stupid. The long of the short of it is was that she targeted Aimilios. She wrongly assumed that Maia wouldn't step in, as while Maia is Aimilios's patron, there's an unspoken rule where the Seasons don't interfere all that often.

Maia did interfere. Sanitive learned very, very that Spring is just as vicious as the other Seasons. There are deep, apparently scars on her shoulders from where her arms were ripped off. It took her centuries to recover, and she purposely avoids the royal family now.

"3. Does your OC make a good patient? Or are they resistant to being given medical treatment - or even agreeing to rest?"

She makes an awful patient. She will complain and try to move. It's only when she's at risk of dying that she'll actually shut up.

29, 8, and 39 (these numbers sound gross together but I have faith), with Theros Vortex and Zane (I'm being self indulgent)

When aren't you self-indulgent?

The First Season - Theros Verity

"8. Does your OC need to be in love with someone to consider having sex with them? Or are the two things completely seperate for them?"

While Theros would prefer to be in love with someone while having sex with them, he can also have it while not being in love with someone. But he isn't as into it during that time, and feels almost disconnected.

"29. Has your OC mastered (or mistressed) the art of undressing in a seductive fashion? Or is it a slightly awkward performance?"

Oh, he absolutely has. He knows that it flusters Star whenever he does it, and he acts completely innocent whenever he does it, as if he isn't doing anything wrong.

"39. Does (or would) your OC enjoy just cuddling with a partner or lover? Or would they intend (or at least hope) that this would lead to something more sexual?"

Theros loves, loves, looooooves physical touch. He will happily hug or pick anyone up if he knows their boundaries allow it. He doesn't intend or hope for it to lead to anything sexual. He just loves physical touch.

The Second Season - Zane Diago

"8. Does your OC need to be in love with someone to consider having sex with them? Or are the two things completely seperate for them?"

He absolutely does. If he isn't in love with you, kiss any chances of getting into his pants goodbye. Zane won't hesitate to flat out deny you for trying to have sex with him if he doesn't love you. He doesn't really get the reason behind it.

"29. Has your OC mastered (or mistressed) the art of undressing in a seductive fashion? Or is it a slightly awkward performance?"

Completely unintentionally. He doesn't even realize he's doing it unless it's pointed out, and then he becomes pretty flustered.

"39. Does (or would) your OC enjoy just cuddling with a partner or lover? Or would they intend (or at least hope) that this would lead to something more sexual?"

He would love cuddling, but his body is so cold that no one can normally stand hugging him for so long. He's very touch starved, to the point that cuddling leading into something more sexual has never even crossed his mind.

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"8. Does your OC need to be in love with someone to consider having sex with them? Or are the two things completely seperate for them?"

Yes, he does. He'll politely turn anyone down who tries to have sex with him, and he doesn't love them. He just doesn't get the appeal of it.

"29. Has your OC mastered (or mistressed) the art of undressing in a seductive fashion? Or is it a slightly awkward performance?"

Oh, Vortex absolutely has. But he plays dumb, like he isn't doing it. He'll absolutely tease his partner about it and be a little smug over it.

"39. Does (or would) your OC enjoy just cuddling with a partner or lover? Or would they intend (or at least hope) that this would lead to something more sexual?"

Once you're cuddling with him, you're not getting up. At all. He rarely gets to have time to himself, so if he can have alone time with his partner, he'll take it. If it does end up leading to something sexual, he'll be more than happy to indulge.

44, 17, and 19 for Zane, Noelle, and Vortex ⁉️

this number generator is scary

Well don't be afraid because it SUCKS

The Second Season - Zane Diago

"17. Would your OC ever be confident in making the first move? Or do they prefer to wait for the other person to do so? If they are in a relationship then who made the first move in that instance?"

Zane would definitely be confident in making the first move. He has confidence in himself, and he thinks he'd be rather good at it as well. But he'll probably be a little bashful.

"19. Is there a couple who your OC views as having a particularly healthy or admirable relationship? Would they hope to emulate this kind of relationship?"

Xander and Rhys is a relationship that he envies but also sees as healthy. Those two hold each other in very high regard, while also still being equals, and it's something Zane doubts he'll ever have.

"44. Does your OC have a sense of occasion? Or do they tend to dress and behave the same regardless of where they are or who they are with? Does this make it more or less likely that they will be seen positively by others? If they have a partner then what are their views on this?"

Yes, he does! He dresses more casually in public or with friends, but he dresses more.. 'fancy' when in front of others he wants to keep an image up in front of. He's seen as a bit of a stuck-up because of this.

The Third Season - Noelle Marsh

"17. Would your OC ever be confident in making the first move? Or do they prefer to wait for the other person to do so? If they are in a relationship then who made the first move in that instance?"

She actually wouldn't be all that confident. Despite her calm and usually collected nature, Noelle doesn't have that much confidence in herself when it comes to making the first move. She'll try, but it won't be the best.

"19. Is there a couple who your OC views as having a particularly healthy or admirable relationship? Would they hope to emulate this kind of relationship?"

Not exactly, no. While she can acknowledge that there are healthy relationships she's seen, there's none she views as groundbreaking.

"44. Does your OC have a sense of occasion? Or do they tend to dress and behave the same regardless of where they are or who they are with? Does this make it more or less likely that they will be seen positively by others? If they have a partner then what are their views on this?"

Sort of? The other Seasons usually have to clue her in regarding her fashion choices, mostly because she either dresses too casually or too fancy. It's something that she's trying her best to work on.

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"17. Would your OC ever be confident in making the first move? Or do they prefer to wait for the other person to do so? If they are in a relationship then who made the first move in that instance?"

Oh, absolutely. He doesn't show it, but Vortex does have a lot of confidence. But he knows not to let it get to his head in any way. He'll definitely fluster his partner in some way before making a move.

"19. Is there a couple who your OC views as having a particularly healthy or admirable relationship? Would they hope to emulate this kind of relationship?"

Several! Xander and Rhys, and surprisingly, Star and Theros (but thats if their thing can even be called a relationship) to name two. But that's mostly because they can keep it out of their professional lives, and they (usually) don't let it affect work.

"44. Does your OC have a sense of occasion? Or do they tend to dress and behave the same regardless of where they are or who they are with? Does this make it more or less likely that they will be seen positively by others? If they have a partner then what are their views on this?"

Have you seen him? He is suit man. He is always wearing something semi-formal, even if the event is casual. It's almost alien to him not to be wearing something that's not formal.

[local-angst-dispenser]

1, 3, and 4 for Vortex, Theros and Zane 🙂

You can't send asks for any of these guys anymore. Ever. I forbid it

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"1. How does your OC feel about pet names? Might they rather enjoy them with a partner, but find them excrutiatingly embarassing if used in public?"

Vortex actually quite likes pet names. He finds them endearing. While he won't use intimate ones in public, he'll probably use regular ones like "love" or "sweetheart." Sometimes, he'll refer to his lover as "treasure" or "bright gem."

"3. How much use would your OC be at helping a friend choose their wedding dress (or suit)?"

He is the suit man. Ask him for help finding suits. He will find you the perfect one.

"4. Is there someone your OC has met who they would find physically attractive, if only their personality were not so repulsive? (Or that they find attractive and really wish they didn't...)"

There have been some defendants that he's considered physically attractive, but considering their crimes, he's usually able to stop those feelings pretty quickly.

The First Season - Theros Verity

"1. How does your OC feel about pet names? Might they rather enjoy them with a partner, but find them excrutiatingly embarassing if used in public?"

You can not escape his nicknames, ever. He will use the cheesyiest nicknames in public and will only stop if discomforted is expressed. He doesn't feel ashamed letting people know he loves his partner.

"3. How much use would your OC be at helping a friend choose their wedding dress (or suit)?"

Do not. Do not ask for help getting a suit. Please don't ask him. He will somehow end up getting you the exact opposite of a suit.

"4. Is there someone your OC has met who they would find physically attractive, if only their personality were not so repulsive? (Or that they find attractive and really wish they didn't...)"

Sanitive. It was very brief before he realized who she was. He locked himself away in shame because of that for a couple decades.

The Second Season - Zane Diago

"1. How does your OC feel about pet names? Might they rather enjoy them with a partner, but find them excrutiatingly embarassing if used in public?"

Zane is easily flustered by pet names. He'd rather they be used in private, but he won't stop his partner from using them. That doesn't mean he will.

"3. How much use would your OC be at helping a friend choose their wedding dress (or suit)?"

He'd probably be moderately okay, if not good at it once you tell him what you want. He won't get a perfect match, but close enough.

"4. Is there someone your OC has met who they would find physically attractive, if only their personality were not so repulsive? (Or that they find attractive and really wish they didn't...)"

Beau, a goddess of weather, was someone Zane had a crush on for a bit. While Theros does rag on him about him "falling in love at first sight," Zane genuinely loved Beau until he realized what a piece of work she is. He realized he loved the narrative of herself she crafted for him.

Monarch, elegance, and noble for Theros, Zane, and Maia, and Vortex

*please don't kill me

I NEED TO LIMIT YOU

The First Season - Theros Verity

"MONARCH - What could “corrupt” your OC? As in, what methods, such as bribery, blackmail, or even threats, could cause your OC to deviate from their moral compass? How easy/hard is it for your character to give in to such corruption?"

Threats against his loved ones would 'corrupt' him, but even then, it's extremely hard to. In his world, there's only one person stronger than him, so you'd have to have serious leverage for him to consider going against what he considers right.

"ELEGANCE - How do they feel about being posh or fancy? Do they find it dumb and boring, or do they genuinely feel as though it is the proper way to go about the world?"

He thinks it's boring and dumb. The only time he'll ever be even remotely fancy is during meetups with other gods, and even then, he's probably wearing his outfit incorrectly.

"NOBLE - Is there anything inherent about your OC’s species/culture that is apparent in the way they behave or present themselves? Is it for the best or worse?"

He has a very bad habit of not wanting to touch people unless he knows they can handle heat well. Considering he's the literal concept of Summer made into a person, he's actually burned people several times, and so he usually avoids physical touch. Despite being a very physically affectionate person.

The Second Season - Zane Diago

"MONARCH - What could “corrupt” your OC? As in, what methods, such as bribery, blackmail, or even threats, could cause your OC to deviate from their moral compass? How easy/hard is it for your character to give in to such corruption?"

It's the same exact situation that Theros has. You'd have to have serious leverage for him to go against his moral compass.

"ELEGANCE - How do they feel about being posh or fancy? Do they find it dumb and boring, or do they genuinely feel as though it is the proper way to go about the world?"

He's indifferent to it. He doesn't care what people do or think about it, as long as it isn't forced onto him.

"NOBLE - Is there anything inherent about your OC’s species/culture that is apparent in the way they behave or present themselves? Is it for the best or worse?"

He doesn't really see himself as a person and tends to get really confused whenever people do refer to him as such. (All the Seasons have this problem. His is just the most apparent.)

The Fourth Season - Maia Nazz

"MONARCH - What could “corrupt” your OC? As in, what methods, such as bribery, blackmail, or even threats, could cause your OC to deviate from their moral compass? How easy/hard is it for your character to give in to such corruption?"

Threats against her loved ones, or blackmail. Maia cares deeply about her image at times, and if someone has blackmail on her, she can bend pretty easily.

"ELEGANCE - How do they feel about being posh or fancy? Do they find it dumb and boring, or do they genuinely feel as though it is the proper way to go about the world?"

She actually quite likes being fancy! She doesn't do it constantly, but she finds it fun from time to time. Just don't try and force her. She'll throw a hissy fit.

"NOBLE - Is there anything inherent about your OC’s species/culture that is apparent in the way they behave or present themselves? Is it for the best or worse?"

She's got a bit of a complex regarding her status, and that does sometimes get in the way of her thinking or emotions. It's something Theros is trying to get her to work on.

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"MONARCH - What could “corrupt” your OC? As in, what methods, such as bribery, blackmail, or even threats, could cause your OC to deviate from their moral compass? How easy/hard is it for your character to give in to such corruption?"

It would be.. so hard to get him to go against his moral compass. He'd sooner kill whoever is trying to make him go against his morals than actually go against them. But the easiest way is usually to threaten Rhys and Xander. He'll never say it out loud, but he thinks of them as his kids sometimes.

"ELEGANCE - How do they feel about being posh or fancy? Do they find it dumb and boring, or do they genuinely feel as though it is the proper way to go about the world?"

He's really whatever with it. He usually has to be fancy, especially during trials, but he does like having breaks from it.

"NOBLE - Is there anything inherent about your OC’s species/culture that is apparent in the way they behave or present themselves? Is it for the best or worse?"

He's a dragon, so.. he tends to hoard things. Right now, it's pens. He has no clue why. Please don't ask.

COME HERE 👁️👁️

Imperial and Coronation for Vortex, Noelle, and Sanitive

MA THERES A WEIRD FUCKIN CAT OUTSIDE

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"IMPERIAL - How powerful is your OC? Physically, mentally, emotionally? Are they satisfied with the amount of power they have, or are they actively trying to seek more of it? What lengths would they go to obtain power?"

He's actually the strongest physically, mentally, and emotionally out of the Mej Pantheon. As the Final Judge, he has to be, and he's satisfied with his power he has. He doesn't see any real reason to get anymore when he has one of the best positions there is.

"CORONATION - How does your OC feel about responsibility? How do they handle (or avoid) it?"

Vortex is neutral towards responsibility. He's had to deal with it all his life, it's nothing new to him. He handles it well, with the professionalism from someone with centuries of experience.

The Third Season - Noelle Marsh

"IMPERIAL - How powerful is your OC? Physically, mentally, emotionally? Are they satisfied with the amount of power they have, or are they actively trying to seek more of it? What lengths would they go to obtain power?"

Noelle is mentally the strongest of her siblings and but actually physically the weakest. She usually relies solely on her magic abilities, and while that does help whenever she spars with Maia, it doesn't whenever she does with Zane or Theros. She can't usually catch Zane off guard, but never Theros. She really, really wants to get physically stronger, but at the moment can't figure out how.

"CORONATION - How does your OC feel about responsibility? How do they handle (or avoid) it?"

Like Vortex, Noelle is neutral towards responsibility. Doesn't hate it, doesn't love it. It's something she deals with, with some minor complaining.

Source of Madness - Sanitive

"IMPERIAL - How powerful is your OC? Physically, mentally, emotionally? Are they satisfied with the amount of power they have, or are they actively trying to seek more of it? What lengths would they go to obtain power?"

Santivie is only strong mentally and emotionally. Physically, she's like a piece of paper in a hurricane. She's always seeking out power not only to correct this, but in hopes of being an actual threat towards Star and Vortex.

"CORONATION - How does your OC feel about responsibility? How do they handle (or avoid) it?"

She absolutely hates it. Hates responsibility and always pushes off the small tasks to others. If she has to do it, it's with major complaining.

[local-angst-dispenser]

Perjury

Vortex Praxidike, God of Judgment, a true testament to justice. He took his job seriously, being the balance between Sanitive's malevolence and Star's benevolence. He was the balance, the middle that held true.

And as he sat in his chair, listening to the defendant blabber on and on, he's reminded of the fact that he does, in fact, feel emotions. Annoyance and anger, namely.

It's a god on trial today for something particularly henious. Xander and Rhys were both the prosecutor today, neither having wanted to defend the god. Vortex didn't blame them, though this did mean that the god either had to make his own defense or take upon another Attendant in training.

As the god continued to dig himself deeper into a hole, it made the neutral god question his choices and sanity.

Finally, push came to shove, and very slowly, Vortex lowered his glasses off his face. "I have been nothing but kind to you since you stepped foot into this court, despite the crime you've committed," he spoke, voice level and dangerous. "Yet you had repeatedly ignored my orders, answered questions not meant for you, and so many other things that I should have had you executed the moment you talked back to me."

The air was sucked out of the room as he slowly rose from his chair. His nails grew sharper, and coal black scales began to form at the back of his arm and crawl up his arms. "I will not stand for this insolence any longer. I am the judge in their courthouse, I am the one who decides your fate." Horns, curling and cracked took form atop his head, as a whipping tail materliazed. "And I will especially not have you regard my Attendants in such a vulgar manner."

"So.."

In a flurry of black and gray, a hulking dragon now filled a large portion of room. His Attendants wisely ducked under their desk, while the spectators all scrambled to the back of the room. His pitch black talons dug into wood of his bench, creating a cracking sound that permeated.

Yellow eyes, brimming with barely contained rage, stared down the god. Smoke billowed from the dragon's nostrils, and if possible, his scales would be raised like a cat's hackles.

"I find you guilty of all counts, and you are hereby sentenced to death," Vortex growled lowly, pupils slit, like a predator that's caught its prey. "I'm sure we can find a swift replacement for you, one who is at the very least smart enough to not repeat your mistakes."

The god had no time to protest. Chains whipped out from throws of Vortex's power, and they ensared the offender easily. Then, with only a shout of protest escaping him, the chains dragged the god through a portal, to never be seen again.

A low exhale escaped the judge before his body shrunk back to its normal human appearance.

"Court is adjourned," he called, and the spectators were quick to book it out of there. Xander and Rhys peeked their heads back over the desk before Rhys leveled a glare at him.

"Did you really have to go all dragon on him? Xander and I had him where we wanted him!" She grumbled.

"I think my heart stopped," Xander helpfully commented.

"I was growing tired of the defendant's talking, so I took care of it." Vortex's began to fix the items on his desk.

Rhys merely groaned.

YAHOOOO‼️

HUMILITY– Are they open to seeing their own faults when others point them out? Are they realistic about themselves, or do they inflate negative or positive values? What is something they are genuinely proud of?

APPRECIATION– What kind of accomplishments do they recognize? What things do they find beautiful or attractive? Which of their senses do they find most joy engaging with?

GRATITUDE– Do they thank people out of obligation, or because they are actually thankful? What is something they are most grateful for in their life? What sorts of things should they be more grateful for?

^For Vortex (because he's practically unknown), Zane, and Theros

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"HUMILITY– Are they open to seeing their own faults when others point them out? Are they realistic about themselves, or do they inflate negative or positive values? What is something they are genuinely proud of?"

Vortex is open to seeing his own faults when others point them out. He highly respects whoever does point them out as well, because many others don't have the guts to. It's one of the many reasons he appreciates Rhys and Xander. He's realistic about himself, knowing his faults and strengths. He's also pretty proud about how he's able to hold himself.

"APPRECIATION– What kind of accomplishments do they recognize? What things do they find beautiful or attractive? Which of their senses do they find most joy engaging with?"

He recognizes accomplishments that take a lot of effort or skill. He knows how hard those things can be. He enjoys engaging in his sense of sight and hearing the most, as he he's able to hear and see the important people in his life. He finds confidence and self-assurance pretty attractive, too.

"GRATITUDE– Do they thank people out of obligation, or because they are actually thankful? What is something they are most grateful for in their life? What sorts of things should they be more grateful for?"

Vortex thanks people because he's actually thankful. He'd like to let people know, one way or another, he's thankful for them. He's also grateful that he does have people he's close to, as he knows he'd probably be a bit more of an ass if he didn't.

The Second Season - Zane Diago

"HUMILITY– Are they open to seeing their own faults when others point them out? Are they realistic about themselves, or do they inflate negative or positive values? What is something they are genuinely proud of?"

Zane is open to seeing his own faults, but he may snap about it because he does internalize those faults a lot. He inflates his negative values, and the only thing he's really proud of is the fact that he's able to keep his cool.

"APPRECIATION– What kind of accomplishments do they recognize? What things do they find beautiful or attractive? Which of their senses do they find most joy engaging with?"

He recognizes accomplishments that take months, if not years to complete. The determination is both beautiful and attractive. He enjoys engaging in his sense of touch, because he actually can't feel many things, due to how cold his hands always are. It bums him out a lot.

"GRATITUDE– Do they thank people out of obligation, or because they are actually thankful? What is something they are most grateful for in their life? What sorts of things should they be more grateful for?"

He thanks people because he's thankful, but don't tell anyone that. He's grateful for a lot of things, but the thing he's most grateful for.. is family. Corny, yes, but deep down he loves them a lot. One thing he should be more grateful for, though, is that they haven't all gone sour on him because of his attitude.

The First Season - Theros Verity

"HUMILITY– Are they open to seeing their own faults when others point them out? Are they realistic about themselves, or do they inflate negative or positive values? What is something they are genuinely proud of?"

He's always open to seeing his own faults, but sometimes faults he knows exist sting more when they're pointed out. He's realistic about himself, but he also inflates negative qualities from time to time. He's also pretty proud of his physique.

"APPRECIATION– What kind of accomplishments do they recognize? What things do they find beautiful or attractive? Which of their senses do they find most joy engaging with?"

Any kind, really. Theros knows any accomplishment means a bit to someone, so he recognizes them all. He finds being comfortable around those you trust beautiful, and he enjoys engaging in his sense of hearing because he likes hearing people talk.

"GRATITUDE– Do they thank people out of obligation, or because they are actually thankful? What is something they are most grateful for in their life? What sorts of things should they be more grateful for?"

Like the last two, he thanks because he's thankful. He's grateful for, well.. being given a human form. He's grateful for being able to interact with his loved ones. But, he should also be more grateful that he still has his status, because it could have gone much worse.

No rest for the wicked!

VITALITY– Are they introverted, extroverted, or ambiverted? Are they more active or passive? What do they do to stay energetic?

SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE– Do they experience emotional empathy (innate ability to feel emotions for other people's feelings, i.e. happiness at success, grief at loss, etc), or cognitive empathy (may not feel grief but has a logical understanding that loss is painful, may not feel happy but has an innate understanding that someone’s success is a celebrated thing)? Are they aware of their own emotions and reactions? How well are they able to manage their emotions?

LOVE– What attachment styles do they experience? How involved are they in their friends, family, and loved one’s worries, hopes, or goals? Do they turn to their loved ones for support? Do they let people who love them help them?

^For Zane, Sanitive, and Vortex

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"VITALITY– Are they introverted, extroverted, or ambiverted? Are they more active or passive? What do they do to stay energetic?"

Vortex is more introverted, and he's passive. He lets things happen, and if he needs to step in, he will."

"SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE– Do they experience emotional empathy (innate ability to feel emotions for other people's feelings, i.e. happiness at success, grief at loss, etc), or cognitive empathy (may not feel grief but has a logical understanding that loss is painful, may not feel happy but has an innate understanding that someone’s success is a celebrated thing)? Are they aware of their own emotions and reactions? How well are they able to manage their emotions?"

He experiences cognitive empathy. He often has trouble feeling other things people feel, mostly because he himself has to experience something similar to experience the emotion. He is also aware of his own emotions and reactions (he has to be) and he's able to handle his emotions extremely well. It takes someone asking persistently and nonstop to figure out what he's feeling.

"LOVE– What attachment styles do they experience? How involved are they in their friends, family, and loved one’s worries, hopes, or goals? Do they turn to their loved ones for support? Do they let people who love them help them?"

He experiences the secure attachment style, and he tries to be involved his friends, family, and loved one's worries as much as he can despite his schedule. He doesn't often turn to loved ones for support, wanting to try and work it out himself. But, when it gets too tough, even for more, he'll break and ask for support or help.

Source Of Madness - Sanitive

"VITALITY– Are they introverted, extroverted, or ambiverted? Are they more active or passive? What do they do to stay energetic?"

Sanitive is very extroverted and active. She often goes out and causes trouble or messes with people to stay energetic.

"SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE– Do they experience emotional empathy (innate ability to feel emotions for other people's feelings, i.e. happiness at success, grief at loss, etc), or cognitive empathy (may not feel grief but has a logical understanding that loss is painful, may not feel happy but has an innate understanding that someone’s success is a celebrated thing)? Are they aware of their own emotions and reactions? How well are they able to manage their emotions?"

She experiences cognitive empathy, but to a limited degree. She understands why people feel the way they do, but she often thinks they should be feeling something else or repressing it. While she's aware of her own emotions and reactions, she isn't very good at managing them.

"LOVE– What attachment styles do they experience? How involved are they in their friends, family, and loved one’s worries, hopes, or goals? Do they turn to their loved ones for support? Do they let people who love them help them?"

Avoidant. She knows that she isn't someone anyone really likes, and she doesn't want to get attached to someone, only to have herself end up getting hurt. Therefore, she doesn't turn to anyone for anything (that often), and rarely lets anyone help her.

The Second Season - Zane Diago

"VITALITY– Are they introverted, extroverted, or ambiverted? Are they more active or passive? What do they do to stay energetic?"

Zane is introverted and passive, until you get him drunk. Then, somehow, he's more extroverted than Theros.

"SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE– Do they experience emotional empathy (innate ability to feel emotions for other people's feelings, i.e. happiness at success, grief at loss, etc), or cognitive empathy (may not feel grief but has a logical understanding that loss is painful, may not feel happy but has an innate understanding that someone’s success is a celebrated thing)? Are they aware of their own emotions and reactions? How well are they able to manage their emotions?"

Zane actually experiences emotional empathy, but he disguises it as cognitive empathy. He experiences emotional empathy deeply, mostly in regards to his siblings, the other Seasons. They're happy about something, he's happy, but he's masking it as understanding. He's aware of his own emotions, but he's in denail about them due to his attachment style. He's able to manage his emotions pretty okay, though.

"LOVE– What attachment styles do they experience? How involved are they in their friends, family, and loved one’s worries, hopes, or goals? Do they turn to their loved ones for support? Do they let people who love them help them?"

He experiences avoidant. He wants to be involved his with everyone's worries, hopes, and goals, but he finds it very hard to. He doesn't turn to anyone for support or help, until he cracks. Often, he either goes to Theros or Aniyah.

You can't lie I ate down with those face claims

CURIOSITY– How thoroughly do they explore new places, things, or ideas? Do they go out of their way to learn new things?

CREATIVITY– How do they go about solving problems? What is something they enjoy doing so much that they can lose themselves for hours doing it? Pick an object in your space: would they know what it is, and if not how would they go about figuring it out?

HUMOR– Do they know how to diffuse tension appropriately, or do they make things worse? Do they let themselves have fun?

^For Sanitive, Zane

And maybe just throw in Vortex because I clearly haven't been giving him attention recently :)

You did lmao. And I'll do Vortex first because yeah, I clearly haven't been adding him enough :P

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"CURIOSITY– How thoroughly do they explore new places, things, or ideas? Do they go out of their way to learn new things?"

Vortex actually explores ideas, places, and things quite thoroughly (whenever he has the time). Despite his stern and blunt nature, he loves learning things. If anyone wants to tell him about their home or culture, he'll gladly listen the whole time. He just loves learning.

"CREATIVITY– How do they go about solving problems? What is something they enjoy doing so much that they can lose themselves for hours doing it? Pick an object in your space: would they know what it is, and if not how would they go about figuring it out?"

He goes about solving problems as logically as he can. He figures out what caused it, what needs to be done, and he gets it done.

Something Vortex enjoys doing is reading history books or just learning about cultures. He's only known Mej, and it's culture all his life, so he always finds other things so fascinating. The way things can be so different yet so similar really captures his interest.

Nearest object to me is a.. bluetooth speaker. He knows what it is because of the number of times Rhys has used her own to play pranks on him a few times.

"HUMOR– Do they know how to diffuse tension appropriately, or do they make things worse? Do they let themselves have fun?"

He does know how to diffuse tension appropriately because if he didn't, he would suck at his job. And yes, he lets himself have fun, but he rarely ever has the time to.

Source Of Madness - Sanitive

"CURIOSITY– How thoroughly do they explore new places, things, or ideas? Do they go out of their way to learn new things?"

She actually explores new places and things thoroughly, but never ideas. She wants to know how to cause chaos and all that. She only goes out of her way to learn new things when it's beneficial to her.

"CREATIVITY– How do they go about solving problems? What is something they enjoy doing so much that they can lose themselves for hours doing it? Pick an object in your space: would they know what it is, and if not how would they go about figuring it out?"

She doesn't solve problems, she creates them. That, and Sanitive just has a member of her court fix the problem if she's caused it.

Something she enjoys doing is bookbinding, surpsingly.

The newest object near me is a pile of clothes. She knows what they are, and she will eat them (moth hybrid activities).

"HUMOR– Do they know how to diffuse tension appropriately, or do they make things worse? Do they let themselves have fun?"

She knows how to diffuse a situation, but rarely does. She loves making things worse, and that's her fun.

The Second Season - Zane Diago

"CURIOSITY– How thoroughly do they explore new places, things, or ideas? Do they go out of their way to learn new things?"

Zane explores things as much as he needs to. He doesn't really stay in a single place for long (except for Aniyah's bakery), so he doesn't feel the need to prod more than he doesn't need to. And he does go his way to learn new things, but sometimes he doesn't feel the need to.

"CREATIVITY– How do they go about solving problems? What is something they enjoy doing so much that they can lose themselves for hours doing it? Pick an object in your space: would they know what it is, and if not how would they go about figuring it out?"

Zane, like Vortex, solves things logically. Though sometimes he does abandon that for just bruteforcing it. And he can lose himself in conversing with people, despite his cold (pun intended) nature.

The nearest object near me is a pile of clothes. He'd get annoyed by how unorganized it is and fold all the clothes. He's slapping whoever left them out, too.

"HUMOR– Do they know how to diffuse tension appropriately, or do they make things worse? Do they let themselves have fun?"

He knows how to diffuse tension appropriately, having learned from watching Vortex. And he lets himself have fun, but not with any of the others.

2. What's on their lock screen, 12. Open the notes/note-taking app on their phone. What’s there, 9. What are their most frequently used emojis, 5. What's their texting style? (EX: abbreviations or perfect grammar? One-word texts or paragraphs?) for Vortex and Sanitive

You tell someone they picked out the perfect face claim twice- /j /lh

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"What's on their lock screen?"

A small, marble carving of his dragon form that Rhys made for his birthday. He won't ever admit it, but he might have teared up a bit in his office once he opened the box.

"Open the notes/note-taking app on their phone. What’s there?"

Good god, Vortex's notes app.. he has so many of them, majority of them regarding small details in cases that don't need to be written down in documents, but are good to remember just in case.

"What are their most frequently used emojis?"

🧍💀📉🚫

"What's their texting style? (EX: abbreviations or perfect grammar? One-word texts or paragraphs?)"

It really depends on who he is texting. With those he's close with, he can loosen up and uses abbreviations and the message can be short. With people he's formal with, it's typically perfect grammar and paragraphs, but it varies on the subject.

Source Of Madness - Sanitive

"What's on their lock screen?"

The image of the cat that has it's elbow propped up on a table with a glass of wine beside it.

"Open the notes/note-taking app on their phone. What’s there?"

The most random shit. Lists of what she's done to annoy people, things she needs to blow up, all that.

"What are their most frequently used emojis?"

💀😃😭😂

"What's their texting style? (EX: abbreviations or perfect grammar? One-word texts or paragraphs?)"

Short, maybe one or two sentences. If she can fit abbreviations, then yes.

[local-angst-dispenser]

9. What are their most frequently used emojis?, 17. What's the last thing they searched in an incognito tab, 6. Write out a text exchange between them and another OC for Vortex

And 7. Who was the last person they called for Sanitive

For any confusion, Rhys is referring to the animals the Seasons can turn into/have appearance of. Theros is a leopard, Zane is an arctic fox, Maia is a dragonfly, and Noelle is a barn owl. AND YALL THANK RYE SHE HELPED ME CHOOSE-

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"What are their most frequently used emojis?"

🧍💀📉🚫

"What's the last thing they searched in an incognito tab?"

'What is a lethal amount of electricity to the human body?'

"Write out a text exchange between them and another OC."

Vortex & Rhys

Draco Praxidike?

I would say you don't need to use formalities, but clearly something has happened.

Pardus Verity and Lagopus Diago have gotten into an argument, and Maculata Nazz and Alba Marsh are encouraging it.

Is it getting bad?

I'm afraid it is.. Miss Lewis has asked for some help calming them down, do you think you can accompany me to calm them down?

Yes, just give me a moment to finish some paperwork.

Thank you!! :D

"Who was the last person they called for?"

Last person she's called was Star because she was bored and she happened to see a tweet of his when she was scrolling through her phone.

[local-angst-dispenser]

10. Describe a photo they have saved on their phone, 18. How many tabs do they have open, 3. Do they use nicknames for their contacts or do they list contacts by full name, 7. Who was the last person they called, 13. What do they use as an avatar or profile photo on social media sites for Vortex 🙂

Final Judge - Vortex Praxidike

"Describe a photo they have saved on their phone."

He has a photo of the garden outside of the courthouse where he works! Vortex doesn't get to go out and see it often, so he has a picture to look at whenever he wants to see it.

"How many tabs do they have open?"

Minimum, 5. Maximum, 10. They're websites for info and the sorts.

"Do they use nicknames for their contacts or do they list contacts by full name?"

Everyone has their contact name as their full name in Vortex's phone, except for Rhys. His nickname for her is 'Spitfire' and that carries over to her contact in his phone. He hasn't told her though, because he knows she'll poke fun at him (in a respectful way).

"Who was the last person they called?"

Last person he called was Maia because he needed her to give an expert testimony. It was such a short call because he hates being on the phone with her.

"What do they use as an avatar or profile photo on social media sites?"

All media sites have his profile picture as a picture as him, he doesn't plan on changing them.
