🥹 Awwww, Mazey

[brainonthebox]

Brennan: Let's start this season off with a little fight. Don't worry, we'll act like we're halfway into the fight so that it's not too long.

[thegoddessprose]

Usually do new ones with Chiasa, but the heraldry theme has me feeling Fabian

Lions: Bravery 🦁

1. I don't know about brave... Fabian's no coward, but I don't know about brave in the traditional way. The better word would probably be resilient. I guess he can be in the right situation, especially when his family and livelihood are on the line.

2. Fabian's greatest fear is failing his family and the legacy. In a way he did confront it with his sister being on the lam and having a psychotic breakdown; both were times he thought he failed to protect her. While his fear of carrying on the family legacy hasn't been realized, it still looms in the back of his mind, especially since he took over the business a lot sooner than intended.

3. What keeps Fabian from curling up in a corner is remembering how many people are counting on him. Granted, that could give him even more anxiety, but it also kicks him in the head and reminds him that wallowing doesn't help anybody, even himself.

4. It's hard for Fabian to be vulnerable, but not because of pride. It's up to him to put on a brave face because some people will mistake vulnerability for weakness. He's able to be vulnerable with his sister. However, even when he gets into a serious relationship, it takes a while for him to open up about his fears and insecurities.

5. He was raised to be strong and again, put on a brave face. However, he's not the kind of guy who faces absolutely everything head on either. Having lost everything; his home, his parents, his livelihood and having to be isolated for his own safety because of it screwed him up a bit. He got his home and livelihood back thanks to the rebels tribunal and laws, but of course, his parents weren't coming back. He's a little bit paranoid when his loved ones are in dangerous situations and still doesn't trust the new government after seeing the other side of the coin (Pun intended) even though thankfully the extremists were unsuccessful in seizing power.

6. Being in a leadership role, it's part of Fabian's job to "rally the troops" as they say. The way he does it is just saying the right things and putting together a plan to solve the problem.

Dogs: Faithfulness and Reliability 🐶

1. Fabian does the best he can to be reliable, but nobody's perfect. He can be prone to forget something if it's not written down unless it's very important to him.

2. Fabian is quite loyal to his family in particular, and that's very difficult to break. However, in other cases, if someone does something super immoral or stands in his way, loyalty can go out the window. A few examples: He got rid of a CFO who might have been a distant relative because the man was involved in wage theft. He was also willing to shoot Coin and try to turn District 3 against 13 because she wanted to seize what was owed to him and his sister.

3. That depends... Serious partner? No, he'd break up if someone caught his eye that much. Casual? Maybe... Well, it wasn't a serious relationship anyway.

4. Not really sure... Fabian's family had a tentative alliance with 13, as with the rest of the Capitol rebels, but he didn't have much power in swearing it, not did he trust them from the beginning, so I don't know if that really counts.

5. A little more direct, his sister Minerva does rely on him for emotional support along with her boyfriend and money. Being the owner of a company, the board and employees rely on him to run a functional ship, or they'd all be out of a job. I've said in another question that letting any of them down is Fabian's greatest fear.

6. It's very important for Fabian to be seen as a trustworthy person, since he's the face of his company and mouthpiece of his family. Screwing up wouldn't just badly reflect on him, but everyone he represents. However, he also wants to lean in the new direction the rebels put forward rather than the other patricians' old-fashioned values.

Stag: Wisdom and Long Life🦌

1. The biggest thing Fabian inherited was to be resilient and to not let anything knock him down or aside.

2. Fabian is polite by default, but doesn't universally respect his elders, particularly his grandfather or some of the older patricians. There are a few he genuinely respects, though.

3. Briefly after the war, Fabian had heard another rebel from the Districts ponder about what it meant to feel joy in life. The man acknowledged that the hardship wasn't over, but it didn't mean there couldn't be happiness on the horizon and joy in everyday life again.

4. At the moment, Fabian expects to live a long life. Being still pretty young, he doesn't have a complete plan for old age, but it's to be expected he'll have plenty for retirement.

5. That would be a very hard choice for him... Being successful is very important to him, but his personality probably wouldn't allow him to live a full life comfortably. Maybe he'd choose the former, and let his future wife do the shining for him.

6. Fabian believes that wisdom is the "what" and cleverness is the "how" knowledge-wise. He thinks both can be valuable, and one shouldn't go without the other.

Eagle: Power and Nobility 🦅

1. Being raised around them (And raised to be one to boot), Fabian doesn't have a problem dealing with powerful people. While he was raised to be a polite gentleman, he wasn't raised to bow down to others, only to play the game better than they can.

2. Fabian is powerful. He owns a multi-million dollar company that's a big employer in District 3 and has the final word on what direction it will go in. He's also a patrician and a paterfamilias, which puts him pretty damn high on the Capitol food chain in general. Luckily, he wants to use his power for good.

3. Fabian was constantly reminded about where he and others stand, having to live in a pretentious and propaganda-heavy city. However, he was still brought up to show respect to others beneath him, as his parents were with the rebels and his mother was born middle class. His girlfriend was actually born working class and (Gasp) in District 8, and he doesn't expect her to cover up her background for him.

4. Fabian does believe in social mobility, especially with more of it happening after the war, it doesn't bother him as much as it does other patricians. He does see a difference between patricians and the nouveau riche, having been around a lot of that kind of talk, but he doesn't look down on the latter for the most part.

5. Fabian, being a charismatic and charming person, would rather be loved. He honestly thinks a healthy dose of both is necessary, but hates the idea of being only feared.

6. To Fabian, nobility is the way one acts rather than something one is born with. It's being well-mannered, loyal, kind, and resilient.

Hares: Speed 🐰

1. Fabian very much values efficiency, especially being in the tech business, but recognizes that some situations don't call for it.

2. Fabian's only a fast talker when he's very excited. Otherwise, he does his best to calm himself and speak clearly so others understand him.

3. Fabian can be impatient, as it's in his nature for him to want others to keep up with him, but is a little more understanding when there's a good reason they can't.

4. Kinda both. In college, he rushed through an assignment because he wanted nothing to do over the weekend but party and hook up. He missed a very important detail in his presentation and his grade suffered. On the other end, when he was shadowing his father, he was afraid to screw up and concentrated on a lot of unnecessary details. He missed the deadline and his father wasn't happy, but thankfully found something to work with.

5. Fabian has to do both, but all in all, he prefers work that requires a little bit of planning, so he doesn't feel like he's glossing over anything that could be important. When he's off the clock, he most certainly prefers slower and contemplative activities.

6. Fabian kinda has to bounce back no matter what, and for the most part he does. When he doesn't, he's at least good at faking it in front of others.

Badger: Endurance 🦝 (I know it's a raccoon, just go with it)

1. Being a dancer in his spare time, Fabian has pretty decent stamina. While he doesn't do a lot of physical work, he's strong enough to lift an average-sized person.

2. On the big things, again, he has to be so people don't think him weak. On some more trivial things or when he's around people he trusts, he feels freer to complain and vent.

3. The most difficult time was when him and his parents were arrested. Fabian thought he was going to die with them until the rebels got him out. Even so, even though he was safe, he had to deal with the loss and uncertainty alone for the most part. While he's in a better place, he hasn't quite recovered but is working on it.

4. Fabian has a pretty big personality and can often "take over" interactions... And can be a drama queen sometimes, but most of the people around him know when to tell him he's being a little too much. He can also be stubborn about certain things, and the best way to get through to him is to find out why.

5. Fabian has a fairly high pain threshold, although muscular injuries are still no joke. He's a pretty decent patient, but can also downplay his physical and mental pain sometimes. He's not great at masking the physical, however, and people close to him can usually tell if he's in mental distress.

6. For Fabian, pretty obviously resilience/stubbornness. A lot of "this doesn't end with me" and "I can't stop now, nothing will get done that way"

Heraldic OC Questions.

Here is a little list of OC Questions based on some Animal Charges used in Gallo-British Heraldry (obviously this is not an exhaustive list and there are plenty of other Heraldic traditions, such as German-Nordic, Latin and East European).

Lions: Bravery.

Is your OC seen by others as particularly brave or courageous? Is this view accurate?

What is their greatest fear? Have they ever had to confront this?

How do they steel themselves to overcome something they fear?

Are they too proud to admit to being scared? Or are they happy to admit when something frightens them?

Have they always been particularly brave or cowardly? Or has this changed over the course of their journey? Have the things they have seen and overcome inured them to things that would terrify the average person? Or have their experiences so damaged them that they are precipitated into anxiety by things that others would take in their stride?

Are they good at helping others to master their fear and able to encourage them to be brave in the face of danger or anxiety? What is their strategy for achieving this?

Dogs: Faithfulness and Reliability.

Is your OC someone that others can rely upon? Is this true in all situations or only certain ones? Can they (for example) be relied upon to back up their friends in a fight, but not to remember their birthdays?

Is your OC loyal to their friends or their family, regardless of the rights and wrongs of a specific situation? Or can they set aside personal loyalty when judging a person's actions or behaviour?

Has your OC ever been unfaithful to a partner? What led to this?

Has their faithfulness to another person ever been tested? What might tempt them to cheat on a partner or betray an oath in the future?

Who relies most upon your OC? Is it their children? A partner or lover? An employer or leader? How does the idea of letting this person (or people) down feel to them?

Is your OC as faithful (whether to another person or to a set of beliefs or principles etc.) as they like others to believe? How important is it to them to be seen as trustworthy or pious? Alternatively, how important is it to them that others see them as an unprincipled rake or scoundrel?

Stags: Wisdom and Long Life.

Has your OC inherited any traditional or "folk" wisdom from their upbringing? What value do they place upon this?

Does your OC have a notable respect for their elders? Do they believe that older people have the wisdom of experience? Or do they tend to think that older people have just had longer for their stupidity to become ingrained?

Has your OC ever been told something that they consider particularly wise? Did they think so at the time? Or is it only with the benefit of hindsight that they see the truth of it?

Does your OC expect to live a long life? Do they take active steps to ensure they will be healthy and comfortable in old age? Or do they believe that they will die before then, perhaps violently, as a consequence of their lifestyle or role?

Would your OC rather have a long, but dull or unremarkable, life or to burn brightly for a shorter time? If the latter, then what would they like to achieve or experience that is more important to them than living into old age?

What distinction does your OC make between "wisdom" and "cleverness"? Do they see one or the other as more valuable or worthy of respect?

Eagles: Power and Nobility.

How comfortable is your OC around those who are politically or socially powerful? Do they make a point of being especially deferent? Are they interested (or particularly capable) in playing the social game by being obsequious to their "betters"?

Does your OC consider themselves to be powerful? If so, then how important is it to them that others see them as such? If not, then would they like to be more powerful than they are? Would this be to feel safer? Or in order to impose their will upon others?

How aware of social class is your OC? Are they conscious of their position in society? Do they look down upon certain social groups (such as tradespeople or servants)?

Do they believe that it is achievable to move between social classes? For example, would they see it as possible (or even desirable) for someone of a lower social class to join the upper classes if they suddenly became very wealthy? Or do they make a distinction between class and (for example) the mere wealth of the nouveau riche.

Given the choice, would your OC prefer to be loved or feared by others?

What does "nobility" mean to your OC? Is there a moral or social code by which they live? What values drive them? Are there some that they reject?

Hares: Speed.

How important is efficiency to your OC? Will they always choose the fastest route or the least wasteful approach to a task? Or do they prefer to dawdle whenever possible?

Is your OC a fast talker? Or do they take their time over their words? Does this change when they are excited or anxious?

Is your OC particularly impatient with those slower than themselves? Or are they able to make allowances for them in accordance with their needs or age?

Has your OC ever rushed to complete something and then regretted missing out a detail or opportunity as a result? Or have they ever taken too long over a task or decision and lost out on a possible reward or outcome that they now regret?

Does your OC prefer activities or jobs that are frantic or require quick responses and decisions? Or are they more drawn to slow and contemplative roles, with more planning and reflection?

How quickly does your OC bounce back from failure or rejection? Do they appear to recover faster to others than is actually the case?

Badgers: Endurance.

Does your OC have notable stamina or a particularly hardy constitution? Are they able to undertake hard physical work when required?

Is your OC stoic in the face of adversity? Are they able to manage hardship without complaint? Or do they tend to moan and complain? Does this depend on the nature of the challenge? Or even on who is around at the time?

What was the most difficult time of your OC's life? What helped them to get through this? Have they recovered fully?

What is the most difficult thing about your OC that others around them have to put up with? Are they remotely aware of this (alleged) fault? And do they have the slightest intention of addressing it?

Does your OC have a particularly high pain threshold? Are they a good patient? Do they ever exaggerate an illness or injury for attention? Conversely, do they ever minimise the seriousness of their pain in order to avoid worrying others?

When your OC is enduring hardship or suffering, what do they hold onto in order to get through it? Is there a particular philosophy they reflect upon? A mantra they repeat to themselves? Or are they driven more by bitter spite? Or a stubborn refusal to allow themselves to be defeated?

[kindacutebutaloser]

Hallariel saying she doesn’t want to leave Sandra Lynn and Jawbone “alone in their big manor” made me so angry.

[tomurakii]

I kind of hate all the comparisons between kipperlily and like. Those fuckass "affirmative action fucks me over I wish I was [minority] so it would be easier" people because none of that. Is what she said. She said the bad kids already had more experience with adventuring before they got to augefort and it meant they had an advantage. Which is true. Yeah Riz was lower-class but his mum was a COP. Riz, Kristen and Fig had parents who were heroes (Sandra-Lynn is an active ranger, Kristen's parents are paladins, Sklonda is a rogue), Adaine's family was super rich and politically influential, Fabian had both. Gorgug's the only one who wasn't actively at an advantage [IN THE CONTEXT OF HAVING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HEROISM] and she didn't have shit to say about him. Kipperlily was the first person in her family to try heroism, the bad kids are largely legacy admissions.

Additionally to the people comparing it to the "anti-affirmative action" crowd: do you know what affirmative action is. The bad kids didn't receive special consideration on their admissions to aguefort or scholarships or additional financial support or extended assessment times or anything. How could she be mad about affirmative action if none of these people received affirmative action. What they DID have was knowledge about their classes that started much earlier than high school, which is what Kipperlily said in her file that she thought grading should be adjusted for because she did not have that.

To me it's less like affirmative action and more like augefort is like an IQ test. They pretend that it's fair and objective, but you can be taught how to do those things from a younger age, and if your parents took the time to teach you pattern recognition and shit then you'll do better on an IQ test than someone who wasn't trained for it and everyone will act like that makes you innately smarter when it doesn't. It just means someone taught you how to do that earlier.

Barring Gorgug, every one of the bad kids had access to information about heroism and their class at a younger age than Kipperlily did, which primed them for success in their classes. Every one of them got additional information about mysteries from their families (and even direct battle-tactics training from Bill), Riz especially with getting classified info out of his mum. Kipperlily does not have hero relatives. She's the first in her family line to attend a hero school. She knew nothing about it before her first day, meanwhile Kristen was already the chosen of Helio, Adaine had already been attending the best wizard school in the country, Fabian had already spent his whole life training with his father, and Riz was already involved in solving mysteries using info and tactics he got from his parents.

They aren't necessarily "privileged" (except Fabian and Adaine), but Kipperlily didn't say they were, she said that in the specific context of attending a hero school they had a prior-knowledge advantage. Saying they didn't is like comparing the grades of a kid who's academic career started with preschool with a kid who didn't attend until middle school and acting like one of them wasn't better prepared.

"hey, I got you some appy slices!"

"NOT NOW MOTHER, I'M RELIVING SEVERAL TRAUMATIC MOMENTS!"

What age did you useally get your memories back? Was it like a boss baby thing? Or did you get them much older?

The older I get, the more they come back. It starts out with not much more than a vague sense of self - I know I'm still me. I have a general understanding of what stage I'm at. I know more memories are there, but I believe my subconscious knows that an infant-brain is not equipped to handle advanced concepts, so... I can't reach the big stuff until I've developed a bit more. I usually remember the details of my death around two or three years old, which, it just so happens, is an excellent time of life to throw a tantrum.

[sea-buns]

All Brennan said was that it seemed like something was recording Fabian's message somewhere, not that it was being sent out to his dad necessarily. And I swear to god if a Rat Grinder gets a hold of that heartbreaking voicemail and weaponizes it I will be crushed

[kermit-coded]

what the fuck was that <- guy who just finished listening to pirate brawl for the first time
