Arms of Robert Corbet from the Dering Roll (c. 1270-1300)

Blazon: Or two crows (corbies) close in pale sable

The Corbets are a fairly long line of barons and baronets in Shropshire. The line goes back (only a little bit broken) to Roger and Robert FitzCorbet in the Domesday Book of 1086. The Corbet family eventually ended up giving their name to the town of Moreton Toret, where their castle was located. It is now Moreton Corbet. The term “corbet” or “corbie” is derived from the Anglo-Norman “corb,” or “crow,” making these canting arms - and an excellent refutation of anyone who wants to say that canting arms are somehow less prestigious.

Comet and sun for the space ask game! ^.^

☄️ Comet - Who is your most self destructive character? Why are they like that?

Mmmmmm... probably Sable from this short piece I wrote the other day. Man's never met the concept of self-preservation in his life. As to why he's like that, being a child soldier kind of screws you up.

Felix also has a pretty strong tendency to do things even though he knows they're a bad idea.... actually I have quite a few characters who are rather self-sacrificial/self-destructive, now that I think about it. Why he's like that is a combination of his natural personality and [spoilers].

☀️ Sun - Who is your most cheerful and positive character? Why are they like that?

Valentin, probably. Or Nyla- she's from one of my older projects. Val's like that largely because he is what I like to describe as a 'violent optimist'; as in he is violently optimistic. Someone has to be, after all. he's also the only POV character in TGC who isn't at least lightly traumatized so that does help

Thank you for the ask! :)
