#velliks lightkin

So Velliks struggles adjusting to being Eliksni once he's transformed. Not only does he have 4 arms now, but his entire structure is different. He has to learn how to use mandibles, how to speak all over again, how to do... everything.

And I just know that the Eliksni Quarter has a school for all the hatchlings to learn just this sort of thing.

So Misraaks, he sees Velliks's struggle and knows what to do. He takes this captain to the school, and tells the hatchlings, "Children, you know Captain Velliks of our House, who has spent time helping all of you grow and learn. And what has he always told you to do?"

"Help every friend!" the children reply. "And friends are people who help you!"

Misraaks nods. "That is right. So now it's your turn to be friends to him. Just as we go through metamorphosis, growing and changing, Velliks has done this, too. He needs your help to learn, to grow, to speak and play and walk as we do. He is a friend to you. Be a friend to him, ok?"

The children grow excited, laughing and cheering.

In transmats a nervous Velliks, chirping anxiously, himself tense.

But the children crowd him joyously and beg him to come along, see their favorite toys and games! Join them on the playground! Wrestle and sing ABCs in Eliksni!

Velliks lightens a bit, and comes along.

And it's ultimately through the returned love of the children that he, too, learns to be Eliksni. He's given them so much. It's only right they return the love to their hatchling Eliksni Captain, even though he appears fully grown. He is new, he is learning, and this is freedom to learn.

[the-light-finds-its-way]

I'm not sure if Crow asks Velliks out on a date first, or if Velliks asks Crow on a date first. But either way, their relationship is EVERYTHING to me!!!!!

[the-light-finds-its-way]

What's the silliest thing each of your favorite ocs has ever done

Huh, this one made me think a bit!!

Magnus: Accidental cliff diving with Cayde at the canyons on Io, thinking he could make the jump but never did. (He didn't read the Vanguard Dare lore lol.)

Anthem-99: Making ricochet arrows with the help of Banshee-44, only to have them ricochet into himself and kill him. (He isn't good with predictions or math.)

Velliks: Deliberately going back to the Dreaming City as Eliksni to piss off the hardcore Awoken devotees, by being Eliksni now instead of Awoken. They all tried to kill him immediately, but Magnus had to come to his rescue (Magnus is a well-respected man in the Dreaming City.)

Kahun: In Crucible, he slammed down so hard he literally squashed a Guardian to death, then accidentally farted on her. He apooogized profusely to her after the match, and she was just laughing hysterically at it all.

Gadrax: When his bottom arms regrew, he had no control over them, went to hug Zavala, and accidentally slapped him across the face with them. Zavala was not happy.

Lazarus: Got his tendrils stuck in various foods on several occasions while cooking. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep your face tentacles under control when you have over 100?? (He now ties them back when cooking.)

[the-light-finds-its-way]

This poor Eliksni man. Thrown off Savathun's Hive Throne World.

Velliks's Wish

Magnus held the Awoken's arm gently, then looked him in the eyes. "Velliks. You know you aren't alone in doing this, right?"

Velliks nodded. "Thank you, my friend. But the wish… the wish must be made alone," he said, turning away. "If anyone else falls temptation to the will of an Ahamkara, they'll be damned for eternity. I am damning myself for all eternity in doing this."

"No. You aren't. Because we're going to kill that thing as soon as it grants it to you, and then you'll be free of its grip forever, with only a wish to satisfy your needs."

Smiling now, Velliks threw his arms around Magnus, who returned the embrace, smiling beneath the helmet. "Thank you, cousin."

"Remember, you're not Awoken. You don't have to call me cousin if you don't want to."

"You're more like the protective older brother, but that's just to me," Velliks replied.

Magnus chuckled, a small smile coming to his face. "Alright. Let's get this show on the road!" He looked to Mithrax, the Eliksni, all scattered across asteroids and belts of planets. “Is everybody ready?!” he cried.

“REN KE NA!!” everyone screamed.

“REN KE NA!!” Magnus called. He, too, awaited the arrival of the Ahamkara.

Opening his arms as all fell silent, Velliks looked into the great vastness of space. “Sevis, o great Ahamkara of the Deep, one of the last of the Ahamkara! I beseech thee, calling out into your domain for a wish! Hear my cries, and answer me!!”

“O Warlock mine, I hear your desires, and answer the call,” Sevis replied.

There, within the endless darkness of space, a vast wormhole tore itself into the expanse, and opened itself, revealing a ginormous worm, its many maws split apart as it spoke. “Sevis, my name, and you respect it already. Good. I enjoy your company, Velliks, and will bestow your deepest desires.”

Velliks gulped, tensing as he glanced left and right to all the Eliksni beside him, to Mithrax, to Magnus. And finally, back to the Ahamkara.

Sevis grinned as it wriggled through the wormhole, into the material realm. Looking down upon Velliks, it remained quite a distance from him nonetheless. “I know what you plan. To kill me upon granting the wish. I will enjoy slaughtering your House, and your precious Young Wolf, and leaving you alone to be my plaything instead. But in time! First, your wish, little one.”

“You are all-knowing, are you not, o great Sevis?” Velliks asked. “Tell me: what, then, is my deepest desire?”

Chuckling, the Ahamkara neared him slightly more. “I understand you were reborn and raised by Eliksni. You wish yourself to know the past–to know your roots before becoming a Guardian. But even more so, you desire to become one with your brethren–to become one with Eliksnikind. And although you are one in spirit, your Awoken body separates reality from fantasy. I can alleviate either of these burdens, but only one. Which do you so choose?”

Velliks gulped again, clenching his fists. “I–I–I…….” His eyes darted left and right rapidly, and his mind flashed. Images of the Reef from dreams he’d had; familiar voices that he couldn’t remember the names to which they belonged; the kind hand of Mithrax reaching for him on the planes of the Shore; friendly faces of Eliksni–of Resiks who’d given him his name when even that was a blank; a kindly Ghost telling him he could trust Mithrax, and the House of Light, but not the Reef. And Velliks looked back to Sevis, narrowing his eyes as he squared his shoulders the way his hero had done, and proudly announced, “I wish to become Eliksni!!”

Sevis grinned, and nodded. “Very well, o wisher mine. Then Eliksni you shall become. Full, healthy, the size of a Captain, as is fitting for your rank, no?” Its mouth opened up, and a stream of blue light emitted from it, wrapping around its tongue, and extending into the distance, as though stemming from twisted words.

Slowly, this light neared Velliks, who closed his two eyes for the last time as it touched him, surrounded him, encased him entirely, lifting him off the asteroid, spreading his arms outward, as nothing but the blue became him, and two split into four for his arms, then his eyes. His height extended from less than six feet, to nearly thirteen feet, and mandibles extended from the bottom of his chin as his face morphed, his fingers went from five to three, and his feet became prongs in the front and back. And slowly, the light lowered itself, bringing Velliks with it, placing him upon the asteroid gently, and therein, the light retraced, slowly revealing a tall, broad Captain, whose Ghost rushed to his side, and scanned him.

“Ba frer go,” Teka said. “Free of loss. You……. you’ve done it!” She scanned him over a second time, but turned up nothing. “Dan da shan, Velliks. You’ve done it.”

There, the House, Magnus, Mithrax, all threw their arms up, and cheered and whooped loudly, voices echoing through the atmosphere, how little of it there was.

Now, Sevis grinned once more. “O wisher mine, you desire a fight now, do you not?” it said. “Therein, let us make this fun.”

Suddenly, the world warped. Flashed. Everyone screamed, and braced themselves as they went flying forth, and suddenly halted, as, within a Throne World, they appeared, and Sevis swam through the debris with ease, as though it’d known the way all its life. A wicked cackle echoed throughout the distance, following the Ahamkara who dove for a single asteroid housing several Eliksni who screamed and dove away, just as the many maws opened and split, then Sevis ate the asteroid and continued swimming, cackling.

Magnus narrowed his gaze, and locked it upon the Ahamkara. “STRIKE WHEN ITS MOUTH OPENS!!” he screamed.

Everyone nodded, and raised their guns.

“Petty mortals, even yourself, Young Wolf,” Sevis said. “Only immortal for the sake of your Traveler, no?” It swam past him, knocking its tail into his asteroid.

Magnus jumped and rocketed through the Throne World as the one giant rock split into hundreds of tiny rocks floating through nothing. He landed on another asteroid, and spoke in Eliksni to the others.

Everyone nodded, then aimed their guns for Sevis’s mouth.

Sevis laughed. “You wicked Guardians, and your killing, and yet you cannot die yourselves. It remains a curse–a burden upon you, no? I can free you of those binds at no cost of a wish.”

Magnus sneered. “I’ll take my chances with my savior, thanks,” he said, lifting a rocket launcher and following Sevis’s mouth.

Velliks reached for his launcher, too, and followed his hero’s lead.

Sevis swam around, knocking asteroids apart, sending debris flying as, suddenly, a portal opened up in the center, and began sucking the debris toward itself. As they gathered, they began spitting outward, each tiny rock aimed for one of the Eliksni.

“COWARD!!” Magnus screamed. “AIM FOR ME, DAMNIT!!” He jumped.

Sevis’s maws split apart, and a bright red light emitted from deep inside its stomach.

Magnus charged forth, firing the rocket launcher.

Sevis began closing its mouth, but it was too late. Firing into the back of its throat, the Ahamkara reeled backward as it unleashed an otherworldly screech, sending the people cringing–crouching downward–but some followed Magnus’s lead, and fired into its mouth against the horrendous noise. The Ahamkara screamed, and closed its maws for just a moment before looking at Magnus’s Ghost: sweet Einar.

Magnus dove for his Ghost, and gripped him tight, as the red light burst from Sevis’s stomach, and hit the Titan from behind, charing him entirely to a crisp as he coughed, then fell limp.

Quickly, Einar wriggled from Magnus’s grip, then shone his light upon him. The burn wounds closed, his armor’s dents and scorch marks were removed, and there, Magnus opened his eyes.

“Thanks, Einar.”

“Any time, my Guardian,” Einar replied. “Now let’s get rid of this thing."

Mithrax called out for his house in Eliksni. Looking to Magnus, he motioned for him to come leftward.

Rocketing left, Magnus nodded, and raised his rocket launcher once again.

Mithrax grasped Magnus’s hand, and pulled him in. “We need to get Velliks to land the killing blow, or he will never forgive himself,” he said.

“Got it,” Magnus remarked with a nod. “Weaken it enough, then let him take the final bow.” He looked toward Velliks, who flew around, fumbling with the rocket launcher in his new hands, attempting to reach the trigger, but to no avail. “VELLIKS!! KE!! USE YOUR LIGHT!!”

Velliks’s eyes widened, and he nodded. Placing the launcher on his back, he summoned an Arc grenade within one hand, then looked to Sevis who opened its maws once more. Immediately, alongside various fire from his allies, he threw this grenade into the Ahamkara’s mouth, then clenched his hand into a fist, and summoned a ray of Light. Firing it into the mouth, the Ahamkara also unleashed its red beam once more, but Velliks shifted right, the scorching ray just barely missing the tail of his robes. Velliks turned around, and fired the Arc ray once more into its mouth, just past the corner of its jaw.

Sevis reeled backward, as a series of rocket launchers aimed for its maws once more. Firing, the Ahamkara swam backward, turned about, only to be met by Mithrax, who launched a rocket directly into its throat once more.

Sevis screeched its unearthly screech again, flailing.

“Sloat tan dis den!” Mithrax said, cheering.

A hole opened itself in the back of Sevis’s head, and rocket launchers fired for the rest of it, leaving gaping wounds across the Ahamkara who still swam about, black matter trailing behind it from each of its holes. “You are FOOLS!!” it cried. “DAMNABLE FOOLS!!”

Velliks flew forth, landing on Sevis’s spine as he raised a fist. “No! We’re far from it! You’re the fool who chose to make a wish against an entire House!”

“What a lovely trophy you’ll make, o wisher mine,” Sevis said. “One I shall savor in this Throne world of mine for all eternity, as you and your Ghost die here, without purpose–without reason.”

Velliks sneered. “And what lovely gloves you’ll make, o bearer mine,” he said, cocking his head. Raising all four fists into the sky, Velliks rammed them into the Ahamkara’s spine, tearing through its hard shell, as he gripped some bones, and tore them out.

Sevis screamed as black matter poured out from the wound, and it writhed about, movement halting as the bones were cracked and severed from its long spine, leaving the Ahamkara immobile.

“NOW!!” Velliks screamed.

“THIS IS YOUR KILL!!” Magnus and Mithrax called.

Velliks’s eyes widened. He shoved the bones toward his Ghost who transmatted them away, then jumped forward and positioned himself in front of Sevis. “YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD OWN ME!! THE REEF ONCE DID SO AGAINST MY WILL, AND THE HOUSE OF LIGHT SET ME FREE!! I WILL NOT DIE THIS DAY!! MY HOUSE WILL NOT FALL THIS DAY!! YOU SHALL MEET YOUR END, O BEARER MINE!!” Once again, Velliks raised all four fists, and a bright blue light emitted from them as it focused on the Ahamkara.

Sevis lifted its head up, and looked at Velliks’s light. Opening its maws once more, the red light grew in its stomach, slowly climbing toward its mouth.

Velliks closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath as Light filled his soul, his body, and extended to his hands.

Sevis inhaled deeply, then roared. The scorching beam fired once more.

Velliks unleashed an Arc ray, forcing it against Sevis’s beam.

An explosion filled the Throne World, and everyone screamed as a shockwave was sent throughout, sending them all backward.

Velliks narrowed his gaze, focusing on the beam, forcing itself closer toward him. “Not today, Ahamkara…” he muttered.

Sevis continued to roar its deafening roar, screaming out as the ray pushed against Velliks’s, then pushed back, the forced itself forward, then made its way back toward the Ahamkara who’s eyes widened, and heart beat faster as the Guardian’s Light seemingly overtook its own. No, no, no, this can’t be happening!! it thought.

Velliks closed his eyes, mind reaching into eternity for Sevis’s. It can and will occur, he thought back. On this day, you shall die, and on this day, let it be known, the House of Light prevailed against an Ahamkara.

Suddenly, Velliks’s Light extended–expanded–going against Sevis’s ray with full force, pushing it backward, into its throat, and suddenly, the beams exploded.

Light poured from the Ahamkara who roared out once more, not in victory, not in defeat, but in deafening agony. It screamed, shouted, but the light continued to pour outward as Velliks’s beam dissipated, and the Warlock fell limp in the Sky, and the light overtook everything.

Everyone shielded their eyes.

Magnus knew this sensation well. Exiting the Throne World. The Ahamkara didn’t even have the pride to die in its own domain.

Suddenly, the blackness of space returned, and the Ahamkara’s corpse floated upside down, black matter pouring from its wounds one final time as the hard shell turned from tan, to dull gray, and it lay dead before everyone, unmoving, lifeless as ever.

Velliks turned toward his House, and raised all four arms. “REN KE NA!!” he called.

“REN KE NA!!” everyone called back.

And cheers filled the sky, as Velliks stood in the center of everyone, an Eliksni, a Captain, who’d lead his House to victory, and his father and hero stood right there beside him, flying through the void of space to reach his side.

Everyone followed suit, nearing the Warlock.

Magnus and Mithrax each grasped one side of Velliks, and smiling, hugged him.

Velliks awkwardly raised all four arms, placing two around each one of them, although they trembled, and suddenly, fell limp.

“Rest easy,” Mithrax said. “You fought well today, and for every great battle must come a great recovery.”

“Indeed,” Magnus said. “You fought like a true Guardian, greater than anyone I’ve ever seen. To stand face-to-face with an Ahamkara, then use the Light against it… I doubt even I’d have that courage.”

Velliks smiled, mandibles clicking together like he’d known how to make the movement his whole life, and he chirped. “Thank you, Magnus.” He turned toward Mithrax. “Thank you, Father.” He looked to every Eliksni crowding around him, joining the hug, smiling and cheering. “Thank you… everyone.” He smiled wide.

"Not a problem, my son," said Mithrax. "Let's return home while it's safe, and you can recover."

Teka rushed over to Velliks's side, and scanned him. "Exhaustion, I can't cure," she said. "At least not mentally I can't."

"That's alright," Velliks said, smiling. "Let me sleep, and I promise you I'll be alright."

"You can sleep on my ship as we fly back," Mithrax told him. Motioning for the Eliksni Captain to follow, he chirped. "I'm glad you are satisfied with who you've become. Sleep well, my son, and awaken only when you're ready. You've done much here today."

Velliks nodded, and flew after his father. "You sure you're willing to fly back?"

"Absolutely. You sleep, I'll fly."

[the-light-finds-its-way]

Crow and Velliks go to the ramen shop, ready to have some ramen, when suddenly, Magnus and Cayde show up for the same thing.

Crow looks away hesitantly.

Cayde walks over, throws one arm around Crow, and says, "Hey, kid, ramen's on me today!" with a big smile and everything.

Turns out Crow struggles to use chopsticks, he's somehow managed to just use the spoon every time. So Cayde sits down and teaches him how to use them properly. Together, the two enjoy their ramen, while Magnus and Velliks look at one another, and smile.

Their boyfriends are becoming best friends, and neither could ask for anything more. Velliks puts two arms around Magnus, and tells him, "We should do a mission or two sometime together!" And Magnus agrees completely.

The entire crew of gays is getting together, becoming happy, and becoming one.

And from atop the Tower, Anthem-99 is watching this all go down with Mithrax eating a bowl of ramen as well right next to him, both smiling a big smile, as they see their Crow boy growing up. It's all one big, happy family of gays.

[the-light-finds-its-way]

Ok so I wrote the story where Velliks makes a wish on an Ahamkara... :O Gonna edit and publish it in a few days.

[the-light-finds-its-way]

I FINALLY GOT THE LIGHTKIN ROBES!!!!! Now, Velliks has taken on his Eliksni form!!!

Velliks was an Awoken Warlock named Harn, found upon first revival by Mithrax of the House of Light, and brought to The Tower. Harn couldn’t remember his name, but quickly found solace and comradery within the House and amongst the Eliksni. Soon, the Warlock’s sense of identity began to form, matching that of Eliksni. He learned their language, insisted on speaking it more than the common tongue, began acting like them (scuttling around, mimicking chirping and clicking), and lead his House on various expeditions, while defending and protecting them with his immortal life.

Without a name, this Warlock felt identityless, save for his place amongst the House of Light. One day, an Eliksni called him “kir-Velliks”, or “strong Velliks”. Therein, the Warlock took on the name Velliks, and Mithrax promoted him to a commander position within the House.

Eventually, Velliks decided he wanted to make himself finalized amongst Eliksnikind who he felt most at home with, and akin to. Thus, he wished upon an Ahamkara to become Eliksni. Upon said wish being granted, the House of Light immediately ambushed and slew the Ahamkara to eliminate all possible falling-outs and damnations it could cause to him.

Velliks has ever since been an Eliksni commander in Mithrax’s House of Light. Many Reefborn despise him for betraying them, but Velliks harbors no resentment toward the Awoken in turn. He never felt connected to them, nor to the Reef.

Does your Guardian have any casual wear?(Y'all remember Polyvore? The website URSTYLE works very similar if that helps!): Velliks is actually the only Guardian I have without a casual style. He insists on wearing his House Light clothes as his everyday clothes.

What hobbies and/or skills does you Guardian have: Gadrax hasn’t discovered any hobbies yet, but he’s skilled in healing the wounded, more so than many other Warlocks.

What would your Guardian’s lore book be called: Wishborn

Did your Guardian get reborn with, or find, any indication of their past life? If so what do they have/found: Velliks’s only indication of his past life was the Corsair clothes. Beyond that, he knew and still knows nothing about who he was, other than that he was clearly Reefborn.

How did your Guardian get their name(if they didn’t rez with past life momentos): After spending months helping House Light, the Eliksni saw the Warlock felt alone without a name. One day, an Eliksni called him “kir-Velliks”, or “strong Velliks”, as he was seen as a strong commander of the House. Thus, he took on the name Velliks, and became a commander within his House.

Going back to your Guardian’s lore book, what would be some some quotes or passages from their book: “A Wish, a Wish for my sake, but at the cost of how many others’?” “Worry not about what will happen to those who wish to help you. They’ve taken the desire you hold, and shared it. Let them rejoice as you shall in your success. Let them help.”

Does your Guardian have a significant other: Nope

Did your Guardian go explore first before going to The Last City? If so, where to: Velliks explored wherever the House of Light went before they finally arrived in The Last City.

What was their reaction to first seeing The Last City: Awe and wonder. It was everything he was told it’d be. Velliks assumed he was on his way to discover it when he’d escaped the Reef, and finally seeing The Last City with his own eyes gave the Eliksni a sense of accomplishment and wholeness.

Is your Guardian a part of a clan: Mithrax’s House of Light

Does your Guardian’s clan have a back story? If so, what is it?(if you want to or able to share): N/A

If your Guardian would have a quote as a flavor text for a weapon and/or piece of armor, what would they be: “A Wish, o Eliksni mine.” “What lovely gloves you’ll make, o Granter mine.”

If your Guardian has had any interactions with any civilians (The Last City/The Farm), Eliksni, Cabal, Vex, Hive, Taken, Scorn, Rouge Lightbearers, or Iron Lords/War Lords(if your Guardian is an Old Light) tell us about it!: Velliks was found upon first revival by the Eliksni of House Light. From there, Velliks began to take on Eliksni habits, lifestyle, personality, everything, and tried to be as much like them as he could, even going so far as mimicking chittering sounds and whatnot. He insisted on speaking Eliksni more than English, and being as much like an Eliksni as he could be.

Does your Guardian have any unconventional allies or connections(By Vanguard standards): Nope, not as of yet

How does your Guardian feel about themselves or others using Stasis: Velliks trusts Stasis entirely, as it was the only way he could stop Eramis from destroying his kind. He knows for a fact that Stasis can be wielded without corrupting the user. Himself and Elsie are proof of this.

Did they run The Last Wish raid? How did they react to seeing a live Ahamkara a.k.a Riven: N/A

Did they run The Deep Stone Crypt raid? How did they react to the Crypt and seeing Exo Eliskni: N/A

Is your Guardian from D1? How did they react to seeing Taniks alive once again: N/A

Where did they go and what did they do during The Red War: Velliks wasn’t revived before the Red War, so he doesn’t remember what he was doing during that time. He assumes, based on how he was revived, he’d been attempting to flee the Reef, however.

Here are some characters that are either polarizing or have created a strong enough mass emotion within the community. What opinion does your Guardian hold on each of them(These are only a handful of characters!)>>>

Osiris, First Warlock Vanguard, originally exiled: Trustworthy, a great teacher, and his ally.

Eris Morn, Bane of the Swarm: He feels bad for Eris, but also admires her DEEPLY! Velliks aspires to be as persistent and driven as Eris, though he’s unaware of just how driven she can be, and how that has proven dangerous.

Cayde-6, Sixth Hunter Vanguard: An interesting guy. Velliks didn’t meet him until after the events of Forsaken and when the Traveler brought him back in my canon, so Velliks is unaware of what the Vanguard has gone through.

Ikora Rey, Second Warlock Vanguard: A deeply dear friend, and his greatest teacher. Velliks has learned everything about being a Warlock from Ikora, and appreciates her, aspires to be as skilled in wielding the Light as she is, and hopes to live up to her name as her student.

Commander Zavala, Second Titan Vanguard: A hesitant ally, but an ally nonetheless. Velliks places his trust wholeheartedly in the man, but the question arises of whether or not Zavala returns it. That remains to be seen, and hoped for.

Saint-14, legendary Titan, First Titan Vanguard: Velliks doesn’t trust him. He wants to, he hopes to, but Saint has been pinned up as an enemy and slaughterer of his kind, and thus, he hesitates to go anywhere near Saint.

Lord Saladin, Iron Banner handler, One of the last remaining Iron Lords: Velliks doesn’t see anything bad about the man, other than his sternness. He’s unaware of what the man has done.

Lord Shaxx, Crucible handler, Hero of Twilight Gap, living megaphone: Noisy, eardrum-shattering man, but kind and loving and supportive. He likes Velliks, and Velliks likes him in turn! They get along amazingly!

The Crow, New Light, Ex-Enforcer to The Spider: A brother, a friend, someone to trust entirely. He’s a part of the House of Light, and must be treated as such.

The Spider, The Shore’s Only Law, founder of “House” Spider: Don’t trust him at any costs. Velliks hasn’t met Spider, but he also hopes he never does.

Uldren Sov, Prince of the Reef, Master of Crows: Velliks never met Uldren, so he has no opinion on him.

Mara Sov, Queen of the Reef, Queen of the Awoken, Ex-Kell of Wolves: A misguided woman who let the Darkness take her and control her.

Variks, the Loyal, founder of House Judgement: An ally and someone who must be protected. Variks is trustworthy and, although mistaken, everyone makes mistakes, and thus, Velliks forgives him.

Mithrax, the Forsaken, Kell of Light, founder of House Light: A father to Velliks, his hero and savior. Mithrax treats Velliks like a son in return.

The Exo Stranger/Elizabeth “Elsie” Bray, Granddaughter of Clovis I and Sister to Ana Bray: A great ally, and teacher in using Stasis. She can and must be trusted, and if he can help ease the burden of teaching other Guardians to use Stasis all alone by doing the same and spreading knowledge of its benefits, he will do that for her sake.

Eramis, of House Salvation, Kell of Darkness: Killer, evil witch, someone who Velliks was glad to eliminate personally. He can’t stand to look at or think about Eramis. She threatened all his kind, and that’s unforgivable.

Empress Caiatl of the Cabal Imperial Empire: Although she’s Cabal, Velliks trusts her. He believes in unconventional alliances, considering he’s Eliksni and a Guardian. Velliks seeks to speak with Caiatl and become a good friend of hers at some point.

Taniks the Scarred, the Perfected, the Abomination, the Shadow Thief: N/A

The Darkness is fast approaching. How is your Guardian handling it: Velliks is scared, but he’s ready to fight. He will give his life fighting the Darkness’s evil if he must do so. And he’s ready for that day, whenever it may come.

And finally, does your Guardian have any advice for any New Lights: “Follow your heart. Only there does the Light guide you. Nowhere else inside.”

As you wish!!! :D

So Velliks is an Eliksni Warlock, formerly Awoken. He made a wish on an Ahamkara, and with the help of House Light, made his wish to become Eliksni, then killed the Ahamkara, preventing it from twisting the wish into anything sinister.

Velliks was found by Mithrax when he was first Risen. Velliks sees Mithrax as his mentor and leader. He's a Captain, both in position, and size/stage of growth.

In my canon, Crow sees the House of Light as his friends and allies, as family, even. This is because his father, Anthem-99, is married to Mithrax. It was there that Crow met Velliks.

Crow went to his father, and said, "You've taught me a lot about love. You showed me it transcends gender, species, everything. And I-"

"Yer in love, ain't ya?" Anthem interrupted.

Crow held his arm shyly, and gulped.

Anthem walked to his son, and smiled slyly. Putting a hand on his head, he asked, "Who's the man? Is he a Guardian?"

"Yes," said Crow. "He... is like Pa. He's Eliksni."

"Oh?" Anthem smiled normally now, and hugged his son. "It's Velliks, ain't it?"

"Will it ever work? A Hunter and a Warlock?" Crow asked.

"It don't matter what Guardian ya are. Pa ain't even a Guardian, an' I'm in love with'm. Yer in love with a Warlock, an' I think that's adorable. Perfect, even! Y'all will make it work, because love is all that matters."

Meanwhile, Velliks went to his leader, Mithrax, and shyly asked him, "Misraakskel, your son is... handsome. He's amazing. He's strong. I... I think I like him."

Mithrax smiled. "Well, as my husband says, there is good news in store for you. I'm not quite sure what that phrase means, but it's positive, according to him."

Velliks's many eyes widened. "What is this news, then?"

"Crow likes you back," Mithrax replied, grinning. "He wants to date you. And I know you're more than capable of loving him, and treating him with kindness. Please, take care of him. He's a sensitive man."

"I'll do everything in my power to love him with all my heart."

Together, Crow and Velliks went out on their first date. They went to a park together, and got ramen from the Tower. There, they kissed.

And then, Crow turned around and looked to a rafter. "Dad, leave us alone," he said.

Anthem jumped down, Mithrax following suit moments later. "Ya ain't gonna tell Pa to do the same?"

"I didn't see him there."

Velliks laughed. "What even? Misraakskel!"

Mithrax stepped forward. "I had to make sure my son was getting along with my greatest captain."

And with that, the first date was over. But there are many more to come for certain!!

I'm not sure if Crow asks Velliks out on a date first, or if Velliks asks Crow on a date first. But either way, their relationship is EVERYTHING to me!!!!!
