#unfortunately for you anon im an still insane over oren the brain worms are coming back

[narzissenkreuz-ordo]

are raz and oren related? they look pretty similar. i'm assuming raz is from the same family because of the mask

what ideas do you have for the other head warlocks 👀

[RUBBING MY GRUBBY HANDS TOGETHER] anon you are so correct actually. oren & raz ARE brothers and shit is WILD

i found this in my lore doc earlier where i guess i gave most the warlocks names & ages

currently the only two i have developed at all are silas (she/he/they) & oren (he/him) since theyre both part of the main cast

silas is basically the main character and became head warlock after gawain killed their parents and has been Suffering through various political challenges & assassination attempts since her parents' political reforms were hated so badly (even within other city states) and is struggling to maintain any sort of power within her own damn city and ends up enlisting the help of 'raz' (he/him), a guild master from the underdark to work behind the scenes for her since her own family cannot be trusted atm. they have that classic flirty x annoyed couple bickering dynamic going on (they kiss eventually. Trust)

since you clocked in on raz and oren being related..... raz is an alias he uses after leaving the grimr family. HE was supposed to be the next head warlock since his mimicry magic is literally the perfect embodiment of The Masked Acquaintance but oren successfully 'wins' the role over him through various means of violence, trickery and backstabbing. It's not like Raz really wanted to be the next warlock so he takes the opportunity to bounce. he spends his time in the underdark helping people & enjoys doing so. he tries to keep out of the spotlight of any of the noble families but most of them have never properly seen his face before.

oren is probably my FAVORITE character outta them all. oc blorbo who used to live rent-free in my mind so i have a lot of fucked up lore abt him:

he is probably the most unhinged head warlock out of any of them, hes mostly very silly & aloof in personality but most people find him exhausting to be around since one moment hes excitable & eccentric then the next hes terrifyingly serious in a very unsettling way

he is almost always wearing his mask, even when not in public since half his face is scarred & ruined Previous Events

he uses his illusion magic to change the expressions on his mask which makes him seem very silly and emotive since this grown ass man is making his mask display those like. silly cute keyboard emotes

he used to be a lot more like raz in his ideals and wanted nothing to do with his family's religious beliefs. he wanted to be a doctor actually. he found himself leaving the estate a lot travel around w/o his mask on, hiding in plain sight to experience things he wouldnt be able within his family

he meets aspen (they/them) this way, hits it off fairly well with them..... only discover theyre a smuggler & thief when they try breaking into the grimr estate to steal magical artifacts. they quickly begin a forbidden love affair that ultimately ruins the both of them once various noble families get involved

aspen is the reason for oren's fucked up face & aspen's missing eye is because of oren

oren has a 10 year old son with aspen he didn't know existed, his name is cain and i joke that he's the universe's antichrist because he the world's most fucked up parents FJDSKFDS

aspen x oren is literally strangers to short-lived enemies to lovers to enemies to ???
