🖊 ooh, do it!!!!

Raphael Allard is the eldest child of five!! By quite a large margin too; his youngest sibling Laurent is only 11 at the time of the story, while Raphael is only a few months shy of being 24. He's the only one of his siblings who was born in Nattenheim, and he's spent most of his family life keeping cultural ties and traditions from Nattenheim alive among his younger siblings (especially braiding hair. People assume his younger sister Alizee taught him how to braid hair, but he taught all of his younger siblings as soon as their motor skills were good enough).

When his mother ran off to Teothe with his father after he was born, his uncle (on his maternal side) came with them. His uncle became ike a second father, and when he joined the Sentinels it was his uncle who volunteered to help him complete his trials (the third and final trial requires the sacrifice of someone beloved, as a show of loyalty to the order). It broke Raphael's heart, but joining the Sentinels meant a reliable and hefty paycheck for relatively risk-free work, and at the time, it was the kindest thing he could do for his family on the whole.

He has quite a complicated history of trying to figure out his own identity beyond being the co-caretaker and provider for his siblings. For awhile immediately after he first acquired independence he was a heartbreaker, finding entertainment in stringing men along and then dropping them flat. He gave that up in exchange for a valiant attempt at engaging in the Sentinels' more religious core after he joined, which he quickly dropped after finding he disagreed with most of the order's beliefs. After that, he settled on prioritizing his kind and caring instinct, but at the price of stifling a lot of his more intense emotions. It isn't until he leaves the Sentinels that he gets to grow into an identity he's proud of and content with, and is able to appreciate that he can be both kind and unyielding.

There's also quite a scandal awaiting him in Nattenheim when he returns, but he's very unaware of that until he gets there. It ends up being what really makes him spiral into an identity crisis and question much of what he believes and, at the end of the day, sets him on the path to growing stronger and prouder of who he is based off who he has made himself, and not as how he was born

Hey! I don't know anything about your ocs, but I wanna know 100 for anyone you wanna talk about!

100. If you, the creator, met them, would you two get along?

OC: TERESA

I'm gonna have to say probably not JSHBGJSDG mainly because Teresa is a Huge opportunist and I'm... Not, really </3 MEANING LIKE if someone was dead on the ground in front of her and they had something practical on them she could use, she'd likely just take it, y'know? I'd be chewing on the ethics of nabbing something off a dead body for ages before I finally decided to take my chances without it (and in canon, Teresa sees that kind of thing as self-righteous and performative, so she wouldn't really be inclined to like me, either). She can also be crude, and aggressive at times, but she isn't necessarily mean; but knowing myself, I would probably take the occasional annoyed aggression as a personal fault on my part, and I'd be a little afraid of her.
