Ooh, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on 23, 27 and 32 for Siavash, if you feel like it! 😊

Aw thank you!! 😘😘

23. What does your character dislike in other people?

In theory: cruelty, dehumanization, using people as tools.

In practice: I had to wrack my brain to think of any characters besides demons Siavash really dislikes, and honestly there aren’t many. He even spares Minagho and sets her up with Chivarro in true azata style.

Regill: Siavash incorrectly believes he’s a terrible person because he’s bleaching and not the other way around, and also incorrectly believes he can save him with hugs and cookies, earning nothing but irritation and disdain in return.

Daeran: Really can’t stand him at first—the image of the degenerate aristocrat, and has a cruel streak. But even then Siavash is alert for signs of a heart, and once he looks deeper he finds a real friend.

Lady Konomi: drives him up a wall but he actually likes her in a way. She’s an astute diplomat who tests how far she can push before she yields. Being abrasive is not his personal approach, but he can respect that. A worthy opponent. Also if you talk to her outside the council room she’s educated and passionate.

Galfrey: totally forgiven.

Wenduag: not her fault she’s like this.

Camellia: cold and immune to his charms, but the poor dear probably has issues.

Hulrun: ok, this is one he actually dislikes.

I guess he’s somebody who can always find a redeeming quality, even in certain demons and devils. In theory one person he is not likely to go easy on, should he ever meet her, is Woljif’s Gran. Until/unless he finds a redeeming quality. And even then.

27. How does your character normally deal with confrontation?

Disarmingly. Though he’s usually easygoing, Siavash can and does get testy if pushed too hard, but he will try to fix things. As a diplomat he’s good at keeping in mind people’s perspective and pushing the right buttons to de-escalate or steer the argument in a different direction so that it’s less adversarial and more “what can we do about this?”

In his most important confrontations (Mephistopheles, Areelu, Nocticula, Iomedae), instead of scattering his energy the strong emotion becomes like a laser beam. He knows what cards he holds and plays them shrewdly. (He surprised me. I was really proud of him.)

32. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most uncomfortable.

If we’re doing uncomfortable instead of upset, it would be around people who are unreceptive to his charm, like I can picture him at the Hellknight outpost cracking a joke at Aminos Renth and getting stonewalled. Tough crowd.

Could I get 💗📔⭐ for Sparrow? I'm quite curious about these :))

🥺 Thank you so much for the ask! I'm sorry I already answered two out of three of them but I've linked where I did below!

💗 What would your OC say is their best feature? Why? What do their friends / family / lover(s) / people they know think is their best feature and why?

Answered here!

📙 What kind of subjects (of conversation, of discussion, in school or whatever) does your OC find interesting or engaging or that they can talk for hours about? What kind of stuff do they just find fun?

What things bore your OC to tears and they couldn’t care less about? Why?

Answered here!

⭐ What is your OC afraid of? Any crippling phobias or some such? How do they act when scared and what helps them calm down? Does anyone ever find your OC scary? Why?

In general, Sparrow is afraid of letting someone close and them hurting her by leaving. It's where her general close-off guardedness comes from. In terms of external phobias, Sparrow gets frightened of tight spaces, imminent failure, and people touching the back of her neck. Her general fright response is to freeze and go very quiet and still while she internally freaks out and tries to come up with a solution to her problem. In very bad situations, she'll shut down entirely.

Calming her down requires some kind of external stimulation--immediately a distraction would work best for her, though in some cases direct discussion of what is frightening her also helps. When taken away from what is frightening her (if it's external), she'll work to calm down on her own in a timely manner so as to not be a burden.

I think Sparrow can be seen as a frightening figure as a natural byproduct of the mythic powers she receives--she is a focus for awe and fear throughout the Fifth Crusade, but more because of those powers than of anything she does. Her natural demeanor makes her easy to ignore and dismiss. However, if you make her truly angry, or she decides she has to target you as a matter of necessity, the single-minded focus with which she'll bring down her enemies can cut a terrifying figure.

For the pathfinder ask: ❤ and 💔?:)

💔: any hated npcs?

as a Camellia enjoyer I am contractually obliged to say Horgus. Also Lady Konomi, but very much in a love to hate her kind of way.

❤️: any npcs you liked, or even wished you could romance?

I actually quite like Galfrey! She and my KC really did not get along, but I do like her personally.

Romance-wise, I would have killed for a lesbian one with Seelah. I understand why she isn't a romance (given she's a Paizo iconic) however.

Snippet - MC’s Death in Lesson 16

How do the demon brothers react to Belphegor attacking MC in Lesson 16?

Warnings: Mentions of blood and death; angst

In Lesson 16, we only get very brief glimpses of the brothers’ individual responses when Belphegor attacks the alternate-timeline MC, who ends up dying/disappearing in Mammon’s arms.  Using the dialogue from the game, I wanted to delve a little deeper into their reactions (minus Belphegor’s) to make the event more impactful.  A big thanks to @tehsammutna​ for her input and for letting me bounce ideas off her!

The six demon brothers are in the common room of HoL when they suddenly hear screaming, maniacal laughter, and loud thumps down the stairs.  They rush to the entrance hall to discover MC’s limp, distorted figure lying at the foot of the stairs as Belphegor looms over them with a wicked smile.

Mammon is the first to react, running as fast as his legs will take him only to collapse on his knees next to MC.  He holds the human’s bloody body close to him, calling out to them frantically while paying no mind to Belphegor, who may as well have been invisible.  His primary focus is trying to keep MC conscious.  He's too alarmed to really be more productive, like considering the use of healing magic or providing any kind of first aid, although neither may have been of any help at that point anyway.  Belphie notes that Mammon is acting like it’s the end of the world, and for Mammon, it really feels like it.  He’s choking back sobs, a few teardrops falling down onto MC's face as their eyes grow more dull/distant and their breathing slows.  Despite this, he continues talking to them in vain, doing what he can to keep their eyes open and muttering promises he wouldn't keep in hopes of a miracle that would keep them alive.  “MC, don’t you die! MC...!”

Beelzebub is suffering the most from all of this.  He's just looking back and forth between MC and his twin brother in fear and disbelief, wondering how Belphegor is here and why he attacked MC.  He can hardly pay further attention to the situation in front of him as his mind is filled with intense flashbacks from when he couldn't save Lilith during the Celestial War.  His vision is fusing Lilith and MC together, and now he’s beginning to blame himself for everything that's happening.  He’s telling himself that it’s his fault that MC is in this state, just like he still feels at fault for not being able to protect Lilith from that fatal hit.  He’s also telling himself that he should've somehow been able to find and stop Belphie before this occurred, even though he had no idea Belphie was in the attic.  Tears well up in his eyes without him realizing it, but he does feel the regret and rage surging inside him, both at himself and toward his twin.  “Belphie, what have you done?!”

Leviathan is totally out of it at first while gazing at MC’s messy, motionless form.  The sight reminds him of a heart-wrenching scene in TSL between the Lord of Shadows and Henry.  He was starting to see MC as his Henry more and more recently, so the comparison made a few tears roll down his cheeks.  It was then that he overcame his initial shock and registered how upset he truly was by this event.  This can’t be real, he thinks repeatedly.  I’m just having a nightmare because of that TSL marathon I had with MC the other day.  It’s not real.  But as he watches MC continue to bleed out and show no signs of speaking or moving, reality fully sets in, crushing any hope of this being an illusion and making his legs grow weak.  “This is awful.  What’s going to happen to MC?!”

Satan remains as still as MC is, his mind swarming with information and emotion.  Ever the logical thinker, he studies MC’s body from where he’s standing to get an analysis on their condition using what he’s learned from his reading and through MC about humans.  However, he keeps being interrupted from his examination with bursts of wrath, tempting him to lunge at Belphegor right then and there and make him feel pain as terrible--if not more--as what MC was likely experiencing in that moment.  But he kept pushing his anger back down and returning his attention to the human.  The further he gets to the conclusion that MC isn’t going to make it, the more frequent and severe his internal rage becomes.  Unbeknownst to him at the time, his anger is merely a secondary emotion to the growing sadness he’s experiencing from the state MC is in.  “MC is a human.  With injuries this bad, the chances of survival are...”

Asmodeus shrieks the moment he sees MC’s body.  Rather than being struck frozen with shock, he’s very vocal and moves about in a panic.  After MC is in Mammon’s arms, Asmo approaches them and checks MC for a pulse and if they’re breathing.  Noticing that MC’s breathing is getting weaker, his alarm only intensifies.  He begs for his brothers’ help, but they’re mostly unresponsive due to their own reactions and internal conflicts.  He also starts asking Belphegor question after question without giving him a chance to respond, such as "What's gotten into you Belphie?”; “How do you know MC?; “Why would you hurt them?!"  He then wonders if MC is still breathing and returns his attention to them before once more pleading for help, repeating the cycle again.  “Lucifer, can’t we do something?!”

Lucifer is trying his best to manage everything around him, including himself.  Although he’s normally the most rational and composed brother in a crisis, his emotions and thoughts are running so rampant that he isn’t able to be very productive in this situation.  There's rage and shock toward Belphie, immense fear and concern toward MC, and increasing frustration from the many overwhelming reactions and voices of his other brothers.  He’s used to juggling a lot at once, but this?  This was too much for him.  The whole reason he kept Belphie locked away was to prevent such an incident, and now he wondered if he was actually wrong in his decision.  If he had dealt with Belphie differently, perhaps MC would be smiling and chatting with him and his brothers right now, rather than withering away before his very eyes.  His stern expression gradually weakens to reveal how helpless and defeated he feels, much to Belphie’s delight.  “Belphie, you…” . . .  “Gr…!”

For the ask: How about Sparrow with Ludus 4, Philia 1, and Agape 3? 😊

Ooooooh thank you so much for the ask!! I'm sorry the answers are probably going to be a little boring lol

Who was your OC's first crush? How do they feel about it now?

Oooooh this is a good one! I think Sparrow had some puppy crushes in young childhood--she was an outgoing and precocious child who was surrounded by people who associated with her brother. She often came into contact with older, intelligent, creative, and beautiful people, the kind of people who would be in congress with Azata and other celestial beings. The names and faces have all faded--they were just objects of awe and admiration seen through the lens of fairytale romance. When she is captured and sold, however, something even as silly and harmless as crushes feels dangerous. She doesn't allow herself to look at people that way, and as such never really develops any kind of romantic admiration or attachment to anyone until...well...the Crusades! So I guess, technically, Daeran is her first crush lol. And she definitely feels pretty good about falling for him!

Does your OC have a Best Friend? If they do then how long have they known each other and how did they meet? If they don't then do they have a close group of friends they love equally? Or are they more of a loner?

Do like...romantic partners count? Because Daeran is also her best friend lol, and they meet the canon way! If we're not counting romantic relationships, then Sparrow's best friend would be Woljif. Before the game--Sparrow was absolutely a loner. She felt she could not afford to develop the kind of close friendships that would leave her vulnerable. The last person she considered her best friend, her family, was Evaethi. And look how THAT turned out.

To what extent does your OC believe in the value (or even existence) of true altruism? Do they see an unselfish concern for the welfare of others as being naïve or foolish? Or as a moral quality to which people should aspire?

Definitely as a moral quality people should aspire to! She's not sure if it truly exists, but believes that people--or at least she--should strive for it. People are shaped by their environments and the maladies of society that they live in, but people also have choice--choice to do what they can to make their lives better, and the best way to improve one's own life is to improve the lives of those around them. She often fails to live up to perfect altruism, but she has a keen admiration of those who work toward the welfare of others and a strong desire to do the same.
