The more you had, the more you stood to lose.

Aventurine lived his life holding onto this one fact.

“--vasha…”

So why… why did he ever aspire to gain more than he could handle to lose.

“Sir, you need to leave the room we need to stabilize her,” the nurses ushered him out of the room. The cold white lights of the hospital room made his head spin. The smell of sanitizer burned his airways. Everything was happening all at once and there was nothing he could do. He was about to crash out. He was about to lose it all.

From there it was a blur. It wasn’t until he felt a hand touch his shoulder that he even realized he’d been standing staring down at this… glass box for an hour. His neck strained but he couldn’t take his eyes off of it.

“He looks just like you,” Topaz said, joining her colleague, staring down at the small infant encased safely in the clear incubator. All sorts of things were attached to the steadily breathing Avgin child, monitoring… waiting. Just as he imagined you were at the moment. Hooked up to a hundred machines as the nurses and doctors worked to try to keep your brain alive and your heart pumping.

“I’ve… not even been able to hold him yet,” Aventurine said quietly. It was wrong. It was wrong to acknowledge his son’s existence. It was almost as if the second he did, he would lose you. A sick gamble.

Topaz broke her gaze and instead looked to Aventurine. “She’s going to be okay you know. These are the best doctors that the galaxy has to offer—”

She shut up when Aventurine had nothing to offer her except for a dejected look. After watching over the young Avgin in silence for a few more minutes, Topaz left with a simple pat on the father’s back, and left him to his thoughts.

Outside, rain poured in heavy sheets of water.

Finally, Aventurine sat down next to his newborn child and finally swaddled the child into his arms, closing his eyes as tears began to build up in them, “Welcome to this cruel world… Ilyas.”

When he opened his eyes again, an identical pair stared back in wonder.

NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN (oneshot)

Aventurine x ex girlfriend!reader

He would gamble his own life before ever risking your relationship but his dangerous job forced him to give you up, shattering both of your hearts in the process. Months later Sigonian notices you on one of the boujee parties he got invited to as an IPC representative. Motivated by yearning and alcohol in his veins Aventurine tries his luck in love again. ANGST,SUGGESTIVE

general masterlist

Aventurine was always a little bit fed up with those expensive parties thrown by his business partners, lavish ballroom filled with pathetic people living with no purpose besides endless consumption, each of them raised in conditions he could only dream of as a child, staring at him with curiosity. Hoping that he will make a mistake, prove them he is still a lowlife they take him for despite all those privileges he now enjoyed as a high ranking IPC member. But tonight he sincerely did not care about any of this, barely acknowledging the noise around him. 

He sipped on a drink more pricey than lifetime supply of food for his whole clan would be, giving out charming smiles that never reached his devoid of emotions, outstanding eyes to greedy leaches sitting alongside him at the poker table. Seemingly interested in shallow exchange of blows disguised as jokes and witty remarks young man looked around not expecting anything positive out of this meeting, maybe except meaningless material gains he forced himself to care about for the sake of keeping up his Aventurine persona.  

Then he noticed elegant woman standing alone near the entrance. Fingers adorned with precious rings clenched around the glass, almost shattering it in desperate attempt to conceal how much his hands started to shake at the sight of familiar face. He thought he imagined it at first, but his broken heart wasn't playing tricks on him. Aventurine would recognize your face even after centuries, every detail of it carved into his mind, into his soul. Long, green dress tightly hugged your figure, enhancing every curve he loved to caress so much. It was really you. Just as beautiful as the day he broke your heart, five months ago. The day he saw you for the last time. 

*** 

- Why are you doing this to me? To us? After all this time? - tears dripped down your cheeks, you were choking on your sobs. Aventurine wanted to hold you, make you feel like everything will be alright, but he knew what he needed to do to keep you safe. 

- Y/n, there is nothing to talk about, stop making this so hard. I never loved you in the first place, I just needed some distraction from my work. - he was always a great liar. You seemed to believe him and he thanked Aeons for it, despite how much it hurt him to see you in pain. It's the only way to make sure they won't touch you. - It was funny to play house with you for two years but that joke got old. You no longer entertain me.  

You looked into his eyes, begging for this to be a cruel prank, searching for any crumbs of love in his eyes, but they were cool and calculated. Speaking to him when he put on his poker face felt like talking to a wall. Despair slowly turned into hatred in you heart, it's fire kept you warm in spite of your ex boyfriend's cold attitude.  

- I hate you. I hate you so fucking much. I can't blame you for being a shameless liar, you told me that's who you are at the beginning. I should've trusted you when you showed me your true colors. I don't even want you to apologize, I played myself investing my love in you. Now get lost Vasha. - nickname once spoken tenderly now felt like a slap to Aventurine. How do you tell somebody in front of whom you bared your soul that they were only a toy to you?  

He spared you the rest of monologue he prepared and went outside with all his belongings packed in three suitcases. He glanced at the door of your shared place for the last time and whispered to himself. 

- In another universe I can be just your Kakavasha, kiss your face every morning after I wake up by your side and hold you every night, love you the way you deserve to be loved, make you proud of me. Protect you with my own strong arms and build our future with them. But Aventurine can't afford such luxury, not at your expense. Not if it can cost your life. 

***  

Just thinking about how he treated you made him want to punch himself in the face. He tried to reason with himself. Back then his position in Stonehearts was endangered after he risked his Cornerstone during the mission in Penacony.  If he lost all his power opponents he got during his work in IPC would go straight after you and he wouldn't be able to fight them off. Aventurine secured his rank and influences by now, as soon as he did that he got rid of enemies to make sure he will never feel this incapable of protecting those dear to him. Such as you. 

Aventurine knew he should not hope for rekindling of your love, not after all those terrible things he has said and done, but could you blame him? All his life nothing really belonged to him, nothing but your heart you so willingly gave to him. Even money he bargained with were only borrowed from IPC, just like his new name, dignity and life. Not to mention his whole new personality, attitude worn as a mask grew so deep into him it felt like a second face. Kakavasha was a different man, the kind that knew what was really important and what was not.  

One not impressed by money or political circus, instead wanting to protect and provide for those close to him, more down to earth and proud than Aventurine could ever be with all his wealth and victories. The one who stood in silence when the lights were gone, the one who observed emotionless when his fate was debated by the rest of the Stonehearts, the one who put his own body as a shield between his friends and dangers of battle.  

There was not much those two men caged together in one body had in common, with few exceptions. Both had iron will and ambition forged in hellfire they went through in this lifetime, both were aware that even with all the luck in the universe their destiny was inherently unjust and both knew they will love you till death returns Kakavasha's tired soul to his family and Gaiathra Triclops in afterlife.  

Alcohol circulated in his veins, clouding his mind and soothing his fears. He excused himself not caring about worried glances his coworkers sent him and rushed towards you on slightly wobbling legs, passing self-important gentlemen and overdressed ladies. Concentrated on getting to you as fast as possible he didn't plan on what to say so once your eyes crossed he just froze in place. At first your eyes widened in pure shock but right away hatred took over. Aventurine inhaled sharply when your brows furrowed and jaw clenched. He wasn't used to irritated glances from you, you were always so gentle with him. His mouth got dry. 

- Long time no see, dear. - your voice was more collected than you expected it to be. Sometimes you imagined meeting him again but even in your dreams you were never this calm and over him. So time truly does heal wounds. - I have no idea why do you think you can just approach me out of nowhere after what you did to me, but I won't let you waste any more of my time after you stole years of my life with your empty promises. So please, hurry up.  

- So cold, huh? - Aventurine awkwardly attempted to laugh his anxiety off. - I know I must come off as a complete jerk but please, listen to me. Back then... I... I don't know how to explain that. 

- Maybe for once just say the truth if you even know how to be sincere. - you scoffed. - Simply say it like it is.  

- I was one bad day away from losing my job and I needed to make sure you won't get hurt in the process.  

You raised one of your eyebrows.  

- So you can only love me when you are on the top of the world but as soon as problems emerge I am a burden to discard? - you rolled your eyes.  

- Don't say that... It's not like that. - he hid his left hand behind his back, toying with one of the poker chips he always carried around. - If they kicked me out all kinds of sick people who prayed for my downfall would go after me. None of them would miss the opportunity to hurt me even more by harming you.  

- If that's what you say... - you seemed unbothered.  

- What do you mean by that? - Avgin curved his lips in confusion. 

- How can I be sure you aren't lying? That wouldn't be the first time it seems. - you chuckled sadly.  

- Please don't use that against me, I had no choice... - before he had a chance to explain further you interrupted. 

- Why should I believe you? Not to mention at this point it wouldn't change anything. - you looked away. - Not after all this time. 

- How could I let you know it was a bluff if you cut me off completely? I couldn't find you anywhere, I tried for weeks. You moved out and blocked me. - Sigonian's voice broke when he choked on repressed emotions, wondering if you even listened to him, your expression not showing any sign of interest. 

- I don't care anymore. If you really wanted to you would find a way. - you shrugged. 

Before he could mention how he overused his political influence and still could not find a single trace of you black haired male approached you both with glass of wine. Aventurine sized him up, tall and well build man had a reserved and cool aura, Avgin could feel hidden power radiate from that guy, as if he had a beast under his skin. Something about the way dark-haired male looked at you made his stomach turn. 

- I brought the drink you wanted. Are you ok? Who's that man? - mysterious guy asked you, concerned by your uncomfortable body language. He had a deep, melodic voice but spoke in monotone way. 

- I should ask the same thing. - Aventurine did his best to sound intimidating. - You guys know each other? - he turned his gaze back to you. 

- Yes, it's my coworker, Dan Heng. We grew really close lately. - you smiled at that strange, tall man. Sigonian stopped himself from asking just how close the two of you were. - Thank you for a chance to catch up Aventurine, but you see, I'm very busy right now. I promised to introduce my... friend to a few people. 

You gave him venomous smile when Dan Heng put his arm around your waist protectively and pulled you away from your ex. Aventurine hated the way you let that guy touch you. Did you allow him even more in private? Did you let him do things Avgin used to do? Does that other man know how beautiful you look with messy hair and no make up, with flushed cheeks and tears of pleasure in your eyes? Do you sing for him the way you did for Aventurine every night? Does he wear your marks on his back? Gambler preferred not to know, but whether Dan Heng already took his place by your side or was yet working on it, he was sure of one thing.  

- It's not over yet. - Aventurine muttered, clenching his left fist till he heard a poker chip breaking in half.

Probably more to come.

List of some Stelleron Hunter Kakavasha AU headcanons!

Vasha really hates Sunday. Like really doesn't like him, but Kafka said that he only had to tolerate Sunday so he's trying his best! (I believe Sunday joins the Stelleron Hunters.)

The Aventurine stone Vasha stole from the IPC saved his life during the mission in Pier Point. To the point his body absorbed the thing. So, whenever he gets hurt his wound will turn into Aventurine and heal faster. He also bleeds orange! The Aventurine goes away after a while.

(Spoiler)Vasha and Dr.Ratio met at Pencaony, and through a series of events was able to get Ratio out of Ena's dream earlier.

(Spoiler)Vasha had a panic attack when he found out Firelfy went to Jade for help. (Silver Wolf snitched and was able to calm him down enough as to not do something reckless.)

Made a deal with Elio that he can go see Ratio for a entire 24 system hours in person if they're on the same planet.

Also calls Blade "Bladie".

Still really good with kids.

Loves jewels and shiny trinkets. Not obsessed with them but if givin the opportunity will take.

Kafka taught Vasha how to do his makeup.

Plays gacha games with Silver Wolf.

When he first joined he called Silver Wolf, Firefly, and Kafka by Ms. Silver Wolf, Ms. Firefly, and Ms. Kafka. ( Blade was just Blade or "that guy."

Has been in the Stelleron Hunters for a year less than Silver Wolf.

Wants to collect all the cornerstones to take down the IPC.

Had to drag Blade to a casino just for the fun of it.

On good terms with Boothill. Sadly had to endure Boothils crazy ass for the end of 2.2.

Was there with Firelfy when she joined the Astral Express's team for the 2.2 story as well.

Thank you for the tag @the-inkwell-variable

Here is a snippet from my upcoming WIP

It should have been easy to ignore him.

Vasha had done it countless times before—let a pair of prying eyes slide off his skin like water, reduced their presence to nothing more than a flickering candle in a crowded room. But not this one. No matter how much he tried to let it fade into the hum of the evening, the weight of it remained. Unshaken. Unrelenting.

The stranger sat in the shadows, just far enough from the lanterns that his features remained indistinct. He was drinking, but his focus never wavered. Vasha felt it with every turn of his body, every arch of his spine. It didn’t matter how much he adorned himself in silk and gold, how fluidly he moved, how well he played the part. This man saw more than the illusion.

And that, more than anything, made Vasha hesitate for the first time.

[ask-hsr-characters]

Hello!!! It's me again! The anonymous girl who just loves writing traumatized characters for her absurd stories!

-

To Aventurine and Dr. Ratio,

Hi'ya, it's me again! If you two are wondering why me and my 37 classmates, who should be in school and studying, are here homeless and starving... Well... I'll admit, I was serectly playing a video game, (Which is Honkai: Star Rail) in my phone during Science Class, hiding it away from under my seat from my teacher so that she doesn't notice. Then Suddenly my phone flashed a bright light across my classroom, teleporting me and classmates to where we are now, in your universe. Away from our own. So.... if you don't mind... *Gathers all of my classmates, who are a group of teenagers and have alright-ish grades for going to a school that requires you to have a passing grade score of 85 for major subjects and 83 for minor subjects that means including me, around Aventurine and Dr. Ratio with puppy eyes. Begging in the ground near their knees and me holding at least 38 adoption papers.* Are you two willingly to please again adopt us as your temporary children? We bet our parents and teachers wouldn't even notice our disappearance and since we have nowhere to go in the moment... Please?... We promise we will be behaving children. We really need a temporary parental figure to take care of us while trying to find a way back home, especially two father figures who I considered you two. And... Is it alright if you two can also please assist us with our homework? Especially me? Please. I don't even understand a few lessons from a few subjects well😭😢 And maybe even help us with studying for our upcoming final exams? If we can go back to our home universe that is. And... one last thing, I know my requests are already a bit too much, however... can we also please call you two Papa Vasha and Papa Ratio if you sign these adoption papers? Thank you.

To Hook,

Hey, Pitch-Dark Hook the Great! I can't help but watch you and your father's relationship blooming into a daughter and father bond. And... since your father might a bit too old to play adventurous games that require an extreme amount of energy with you and the Moles anymore and the fact he might disappear away somewhere in your life as you grow older... *Proceeds to throw a strange blue potion at Fersman, Hook's adoptive father that somehow turns him back to his youthful self, somewhere in his early 20s and runs away quickly as soon as possible.* Bye bye! Enjoy your time with your father's young version of himself!!!! ^^

-

To Welt.

Hello, Mr. Yang!!!! I heard you worked on a very popular animated series mecha robot called 'Arahato' and I have MANY questions to ask you. Do you at least heard of Magical girls? They are sort of like heroes but girls with extraordinary powers gifted by supernatural beings that need their help to save the world from evil, etc. My favorite one has to be Madoka Magica, Mermaid Melody, Toyko Mew Mew, Sakura Card Captor, Powerpuff Girls Z, Salior Moon, Creamy Mami, Fushigi Boshi no Futago Hime Gyu, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Symophogear, Flowering Heart, Precure, Ojamajo Doremi and the new upcoming Princess Session Orchestra. I'm actually currently making a magical girl show myself called 'Animal Freedom Protectors'. So do you have any advice on making an animated show? I'm open to anything to be honest.

-

To Yanqing,

Omg, Yanqing! I'm so proud of you! The fact you managed to defeat Hoolay with all of strength and power was so incredible! I have seen you fight so well many times before but never like that! I'm sure you already have blown March and Yunli's minds away (not literally). I'm sure General Jingyuan is already proud of you after everything you have been through. The fighting, training... everything was worth it for you to come this far. C'mom! Let's go celebrate your marvelous victory with some food! All on me!

-

To Dan Heng,

Hey, buddy. How's is it going after the recent adventure you have gotten through the Xianzhou? Tiring? I know. By the way, I know this might be invading your personal space... but... since you have your Vidyadhara form... CAN I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PET YOUR HORNS AND YOUR TAIL? I WILL BE VERY GENTLE I PROMISE! Still, the way you literally throw your pole arm to stab that Vidyadhara elder, who I heard was one of those people who subjected your past self, Dan Feng to punishment, was sick as heck! Also, has anyone in the Express pet your horns and tail before? I bet March, Caelus and Stelle did😏

-

That's all I have for today! ^^

why must you torture my fingers in this way…

-

Aventurine: “Whoa! That’s a, um, certainly interesting story…”

Ratio: “Indeed. It sounds like you all need to get back home.”

Aventurine: “Aww, but Doctor! Why can’t we keep them?~”

Ratio: “No.”

Aventurine: “Fine, then. I’m adopting you all, since Mr. Grumpy over here won’t. And yes, you may call me whatever you’d like~”

Ratio: “Ugh, fine. I guess I’ll help you out…”

Aventurine: “Heh, yay~”

-

Welt: “That’s certainly a lot of questions…I’ve heard of the Magical Girl genre, but I personally haven’t seen any of those shows myself. However, if it’s advice you seek, then…I would probably say to just go easy on yourself. Making a show takes a ton of work, so be patient with yourself.”

-

Yanqing: “Really?! Celebration food?! Yeah, let’s go! Oh, and thanks for the praise!~ I’ll admit, I’m proud of myself for my victory…so it feels good to get recognized for it!”

-

Dan Heng: “Yes, it was quite tiring. But- eh? You want to…pet me? Sure…the others have already done so, as soon as they learned about my Vidyadhara form. Predictable. Hm? Oh…my fighting is ‘sick’? Is that a good thing…?”

ow my fingers after typing this

[dark-twist-fairytales]

(Yes Lich Clayton definitely needs a break, but am I giving him one? No.)

The Shrine is made out of stone ,all their faces carved in after they passed away, Clayton casts mending on it any time he visits.

When he reached 200 and realised he wasn't dying Clayton carved himself into the stone, that Clayton Azran was long dead.

Any time he visits he's not as careful with his own face, the four others are in visibly better conditon.

The boy, when he realises starts tending to Claytons, not wanting his face to be forgotten.

(Now heres the fun part)

Clayton mind is still clear, he knows what happens around him, but after so many centuries it has started playing tricks on him. When he's alone he might overhear a conversation that he had with Kana, head snapping around before he remembers that they're all long dead.

The visual hallucinations are the worst, the curse making him see his fallen loved ones. He sees the others, sometimes they're happy, sometimes its things they did in Barovia.

The worst one is Clara's. Her fake wanting him to believe that she's real, make him believe that he can walk up to her, embrace her and feel her hand caress him gently. Sometimes he wishes to let go, but the truth scares him.

If he touches her and she simply dissapears will he ever see her again? Or, if it truly is her, how can he justify having ignored her for centuries.

But the moments with the young boy make it bearable, being able to tell his stories without judgement, making him feel normal. (Something he never even felt back home in Breeg.)

(I really should draw Lich Clayton and the boy, god he needs a name)

My heart- My- Aufh-

It would be cute if the boy was named after Vasha's grandfather! I don't remember his name, it's just a cute thought of possible coincidence or purposeful naming.

My heart though of just... These two.

It's going to hurt Clayton so badly-

I started playing a new game recently, and one of the enemies is a half-centaur...it's just a regular guy with horse themed abilities. I love him.

[rosenongrata]

eyes of the beholder.

a/n: just a lil blurb... almost 500 words. very short! but very sweet, even a bit bitter.

“You know, you have the most captivating eyes I’ve ever seen…”

Aventurine blurts out with a sly grin on his face while he plays a card game called “War” that Malachy introduced to him tonight. He soon discovered it can be quite the lengthy game, and then he caught onto how speedy his opponents draws are – so he upped the ante and now matches their speed.

“Mhm,” Malachy hums, their eyes trained on the cards that are being played, “Very funny. Should we be playing Liar’s Poker instead?” Their bright blue eyes laden with their usual fatigue – their glow dimming behind long eyelashes.

“Huh? I wasn’t lying,” He pouts a little, his card drawing hand faltering in the moment from a slight tremble, “I swear. I really wasn’t lying.” He promises weakly, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Eh?” They blink repeatedly before finally staring at him from their hunched position over the table, “Sorry, sorry.” They sigh, “But, I’d say your eyes are a lot more magnetic than mine.”

“What?” He blinks like they did, a blush threatening to creep onto his cheeks, “You…really think that?”

“Yup.” They nod, “I’ve seen many eyes, but yours strike me as the most unique and vibrant.”

“I…” His words die on his tongue, leaving his mouth gaping.

They blink at each other as Malachy watches a pink, flustered blush finally creep onto his cheeks. They chuckle behind a card before laying it down face-up on the growing deck of cards. They give him a few moments to register their words, yet he remains speechless.

“Hm? It seems I’ve silenced the chatty one for once,” They lean in close to his ear, a very hot breath almost searing the sensitive skin there when they whisper, “I win again.”

His head whips at them, their lips almost accidentally brushing against one another from the close proximity.

“Haha… You’re funny…” He laughs half-heartedly – weak and unimposing.

“Sometimes,” They sigh, backing away from him, “But, I’m being honest, too, Vasha.”

“You’re strange…” He smiles a little at them – soft, sweet, and adoring, “But, y’know… Your peculiarity is…growing on me like moss.”

“Yeah? I could say the same about you.” They smirk – lopsided, knowing.

“You flatter me too much for someone like me…” He sighs, his smile fading.

“I’ve met worse people – trust me.”

He perks up, but his eyes remain pinched with worry – he struggles to meet their gaze at first, yet he finds himself drawn back to their starry eyes just like every other time in the past.

“Malachy…” He whispers.

Without warning and certainly without restraint, they pull him out of his chair and almost onto their lap – all so they can embrace him. Their warmth is like fire against him, setting both his mind and heart ablaze – even his clothed skin prickling with surprise.

“You’re doing your best, Vasha,” They whisper, their hold growing in tightness yet remaining diligently aware of his body’s fragility, “And that’s all you need to do.”

[aurae-rori]

If Vasha and Dr.Ratio are to meet in the Stelleron Hunter Aventurine AU how do you think that would play out?

Hmm, that depends on a multitude of things - how early on into being a stellaron hunter is vasha? how well known is he? Is ratio in the intelligenstia guild yet? i think if vasha is already well known and ratio is in the intelligenstia guild/or not in the guild, he would be approached with caution but he would not turn away a man in need. if they met earlier on, i think dr. ratio would be skeptical but wouldn't turn him away if vasha was asking for help - that's just not in his nature.

✧･ﾟ @halovien sent: ❝ r-really vasha, you needn't be so gentle with them. ❞ gabriel clears his throat, mentally scolding himself for the slight crack in his voice. his wings spread out across his shoulders, grand and fluttering when the blond so much as grazed them. he damned them for being so sensitive, yet he truly couldn't be too upset when it also felt so, so wonderful. his wings were often tucked back within his hair due to their size, so having them unfurled in their whole glory for the other to caress left him feeling expose. he was uncharacteristically shy and demure about it, golden gaze trying to remain indifferent ( though failing, if the blush across his cheeks were anything to go by ). ❝ i'm not fragile. you don't need to touch them as if they're glass. ❞ / unprompted, always accepting.

gabriel   is   terribly,     sickeningly   sweet.   his   gaze   tracks   those   wings   of   theirs   with   such   keen   interest   so   often   that   he   had   given   up   on   any   pretext   of     not     being   utterly   fascinated     —      by   the   soft,     delicate   things   that   would   betray   the   halovian   with   a   slight   flare,     a   fidget,     flitting   as   though   they   had   a   will   of   their   own   in   such a   manner   that   had   aven’s   words   trailing   off,     distracted,     and   an   apologetic   smile   playing   on   his   lips:          he   hushes   the   other   now,     guides   him   to   settle   back   down   against   his   chest   and   relents   with   a   hand   straying   to   card   through   his   hair,    soothing.   they’re   bigger   than   he   realized,     now   that   the   entire   wingspan   is   laid   out   before   him   like   this.     divine.     but   still   gentle,    still   soft   beneath   his    featherlight   touches.        “ you're cute,     birdie.      ”        he   could   humour   those   claims   nonetheless,      would   be   content   to   keep   him   here,     soft   and   pliable,    merely    admiring     without   disproving   that   which   is   patently   false…     but   he   knows   there   is   an   unspoken   trust   in   being   allowed   this   close     —     being   allowed   to   touch.   gabe   would   never   permit   it   if   this   wasn’t   okay,    and   if   it   became   too   much,    he   would   stop   in   a   heartbeat.      “     but   are   you   sure…?     ”     his   hand   returns   with   the   ghost   of   a   touch,     just   to   watch   with   satisfaction   as   their   shoulders   tense   in   anticipation,    the   wing   ruffled,    and   he   huffs   out   a   laugh   that   is     embarrassingly     fond.   smooths   the   feathers   back   out,     a   movement   as   gentle   as   his   hands   were   capable   of   producing.     “    seems   pretty   sensitive   to   me.     ”

I wanted to repost with all of the dialogue stuff together. Along with the fact I updated some of the voice lines.

Discussing Vasha

Jade: The most priceless of gems come from the harshest of environments. It is my job to pick the gems with potential, watch them grow and learn, and turn them into the best selves they can possibly be. sigh If only destiny had other plans.

Dr. Ratio: The Stelleron Hunters are known by the IPC as a group of ruthless terrorists acting solely for Destiny Slave. However, through my time spent with that gambler, I have come to deduce that such a statement is without a doubt false.

Boothill: That kid knows how to make an impression, I'll tell you that. As mad as they come! That oughta be why we get along.

Sam/Firefly: I will never forgive Kafka for teaching him how to play card games. Or Silver Wolf for introducing him to… What was it called? Oh yea! Those “gacha” games. sigh Every time he just keeps going and going and going, the price keeps going up, and it takes F O R E V E R to stop him. It stresses me out!

Kafka: We Stelleron hunters all have different wants. Yet despite our differences, destiny strangled us up together~. Forced to be slaves to our desires. In his case, the term “slave” just so happened to be a bit more literal at the time.

Blade: Our “blessings” are the worst curse one could ask for.

Silver Wolf: Kafka has her spirit whisper and assantion training. Blade has his curse and sword. Firefly had SAM. But when it comes to me and him? We’re a bit more… like the brains of the operations. The person behind the scenes that isnt Elio.

Black Swan: Gambling with destiny is truly a cocky move. Even more so when destiny casts you out of the table. Perhaps that's exactly what destiny wanted?

Sparkle: Turning down an invitation to the tavern? If it were anyone else, I would have been appalled, but turning down the invitation to join the Stelleron Hunters?! What fun!

Vasha discussing others:

The stonehearts: For the sake of the Amber Lord, Diamond broke apart his power and bestowed his authority as an emanator to 10 individuals. The holders of his divine authority were called the cornerstones. Wanna wager how I got mine?

Dr. Ratio: I always see people online comparing him to members of the genius society. It's hilarious really. They lose themselves in false statements and lies to entertain themselves. Betting on lies that hold no meaning. Only to lose the truth entirely. The thing that makes Veritas incomplete to Nous makes him perfect for the title of doctor.

Silver Wolf: Life is a game. Somebody has to win eventually~.

Blade: Kafka always says that his fights are fun to watch. Me? I hardly see the appeal. sigh alas everyone has hobbies I suppose…

Kafka: Just like the others, I too was recruited by her. The only difference is the fact she was never supposed to.

SAM: For a machine made for the destruction of the swarm. He is surprisingly good at roasting food. You’ll have to ask Firefly next time. I’m sure she’ll gladly make you some.

Firefly: Optimism, the true wild card in a game of life or death.

Elio: As long as the future Elio sees can come true. I’m willing to sit at the table.

Sparkle: The Fools never play to win — they're more like crazed thrill seekers. (regular voice line)

Boothill: sigh Look, I don't hate the guy. Hate is a rather strong word for someone you’ve only met twice. I mean, I’m not petty- He’s just loud and talks too much- and not in the endearing way like the Docter.

Sunday: Taking a shortcut or two isn't a big deal, but blatantly dipping your hands into someone else's pockets — that lacks finesse. (Regular voice line)

Robin: I don't see the appeal to her music, but Firefly seems to like it, and oddly enough, Blade likes it too. If it gets Blade to stop having those massive mood swings of his, then I’ll just have to sit with it wont I?

Joining a team with others:

SAM/Firefly: Oh? Dont you think this is a bit too easy?

Kafka: A woman who can't feel fear, versus a gambler who ignores the feeling of uncertainty. Who will win this bet?

Blade: Let me guess? “I need no shield for I will never break.” Yea right!

Silver Wolf: Wanna play a game? Your choice~.

Jade/Topaz: Dont worry. Your precious little stone is safe and sound~.

Dr.Ratio: Bet on me will you? I’ll make it worth your while.

Boothill: A poor man knows exactly what he wants. Why not have two poor men?

The trailblazer: That Stelleron of yours seems to be in good hands.

Others joining his team:

SAM/Firefly: Can we skip the “bets”?

Kafka: Just your luck~

Blade: That ecstasy can only last for so long. Make it count.

Silver Wolf: Dont get hit too hard. Using all your stamina before the big bad is a total waste.

Jade: Stealing a relic of the Amber Lord's body? A big gamble indeed…

Dr.Ratio: A walking, talking Peacock? The Genius Society ought to come with a spectacle.

Boothill: Well fork me! The Amber Lord outta be quivering in THERE grave.

Sparkle: The grand stage is set! Care to bless us with your luck?

🍀, 🌼, 🧠 VASHA. REAL Kellan Fans Know.

"real kellan fans" he literally predates me being comfortable OC posting you are the ONLY ONE who knows hdhdhd

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

vasha tabris was my first warden after i returned from not playing dragon age for years, so he was just like, a complete cultural reset. a very earnest playthrough where i just did what i wanted and built him as a character as i went.

🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

id be comfortable placing him as mid-twenties in origins.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

i think i just like how earnest he is. he cuts through all the posturing and bullshit and just cares about people.
