♡ – If your muse were rendered unable to fight, what about them would change? Would they be able to handle it?

(Haha. XD Alex would go down swinging till he couldn’t swing anymore. He’d find a way to fight unless he was paralyzed. He’d get angry and bitter most likely. Fighting is a big thing for him. Take that away and he’d be so lost. He’s spent so much of his life fighting to survive.)

image

(I think Lance would be sad but he would accept it. There would be moments of longing to pick up a blade again. He’s spent almost his whole life as a knight. It would be hard for him to let it go. But now that he’s married, I’m sure given time he would find other things to do. Like raising a family.)

(Odds are if Valen lost the ability to fight, he’d lose his ability to play his harp as well since he’s a bowman. Which would make him incredibly lost. He’s spent his entire youth training for this moment. He loves to be able to play music and travel the world. Most likely he’d take up drinking and staring longingly out a window. He wouldn’t handle it too well.)

(To be an adventurer you have to be able to fight. Keaira’s mother wouldn’t mind her not being able to fight anymore but Keaira would. It would be heartbreaking. Though she has a very loving family and would be okay in time. It would take a long time to recover from such a loss though. She would at least try her best to keep her chin up.)

image

(It wouldn’t be that big of a loss. She is more of a pacifist anyways. She’d likely continue what she’s doing now. Being a herbalist and healer. After all you don’t need to know how to fight in order to help people.)

♧ – Does your muse have any regrets about a battle or incident they had to fight in? Has it changed them?

(Lance most definitely has. The Steel Vigil left it’s scars both physically and mentally. He regrets that they lost the Vigil and their commander. He know he was still too young to have made a strong difference in that fight. Doesn’t mean it haunts him any less. He still returns to the ruined Vigil once a year to pray to Halone for those lost that day. That loss made him work harder and remain true and loyal to Haillenarte despite his family. Even went as far as to explore the ruins of The Palace of the Dead when he heard rumors of his commander’s ghost having been sighted down there.)

image

(For Alex that would have been his fight against his former mentor. He regrets not making sure the man was actually dead before he fled. Years later it led to him being tortured for two days and nearly killed. It’s made him more paranoid and more serious. Any time he flexes that hand his mentor scarred, it’s him reliving at least some part of that memory.)

image

(Mari has had one fight only really. She’s managed to live most of her life in relative peace beyond that. She originally fled Dravania to escape the war. The old woman she took shelter with in Coerthas was a former dragoon. The woman taught her to fight. However there was a group of knights that later hunted the old woman down and accused her of being a heretic. Mari was told to run, not quite being ready to face a group of skilled knights. But remembering the old woman telling her it was better to love then to hate. So Mari regrets being unable to help the old woman but those interactions with that woman kept her from hating and nursing a grudge.)

♤ – Given a chance to learn and use a combat ability or magic they don’t possess, what would your muse choose?

(If Alex had to choose, probably magic. He’s already skilled with daggers and a polearm. Already knows poisons. He has no real skills with magic though. Never had anyone to teach him and it’s not exactly something you can learn alone. Not for him at least. He’d enjoy knowing a little fire magic.)

image

(Healing or Holy magic. Lance, like Alex, knows various weapons but has no training with aether for spells. Lance actually has a smaller personal aether pool. A counter balance to the fact that he’s physically strong and durable. He would like to know at least some healing magic to at least be better able to protect and save those he cares about.)

image

(Close fighting combat abilities. He has zero interest in magic but he does regret never learning how to deal with close range dangers. After a few mishaps, he’s realized how vulnerable that makes him.)

♠ – What is your muse’s weapon of choice? Is it magical or mundane in nature? 

“Physical weapons. Usually a sword and shield. Though I have been trying my hand with other weapons as well. It gives me the advantage of better knowing what other weapons are capable of in a fight. I have been studying with a katana lately specifically. After a trip to Kugane with my wife, we thought the training of the samurai there might be beneficial to help me with a problem I have.”

image

✓ – Has your muse ever lost anyone they cared about on the battlefield? Do they feel responsible? 

(No not really. He’s never really been on a battlefield -yet- with someone he’s cared about. Before he started finding reasons to care, he was more of a solitary fighter. A sort of assassin or hired hitman. The closest he’s been was the day he betrayed Lance on a scouting mission in an effort to protect the knight. He knows he’s responsible and doesn’t ever deny it. He was protecting the first person who ever showed any signs of caring about him. So to him it was worth it.)

(For Lance he has. He’s been serving the Haillenarte family for years now. Ever since he was old enough to take a position in the field. He first served Lord Chlodebaimt de Haillenarte at the Steel Vigil. So he was there when it fell to Nidhogg’s horde. He still feels bad about the fact that the young Haillenarte lord sacrificed himself to try and save some of the knights from a doomed fight. He had come to care about Chlodebaimt in the short time serving under him. He had been a good commander. Giving Lance his reason to keep being a knight and his sense honor.)

(None of the other kids have really been on a battlefield or they have and haven’t lost anyone. Thanks @delicatelygloriouspenguin )

♥ – Is there an opponent they’ve fought they’ve grown particularly attached to, love or hate?

“Well if we’re talking about fist fights then I guess you could say Ilan and Ulan. Fighting them is always a good time. If we’re talking about fights were no one is going to die but still get good and bloody, then Anata hands down. We beat each other bloody but I can always expect a good challenge. But I don’t think you mean something like the Gin Mill fights or my spars with Anata. If we’re talking life or death matches… Lancefer.”

(Lance and Alex used to fight in bar brawls back to back. Then Lance went to kill him for entirely good reasons, leaving the scar on Alex’s face. He does care about his old friend and is still attached to him. Nearly getting himself killed twice for Lance.)

image

“I don’t… Particularly like Nathaniel but… He is a good opponent to fight. Raiden on the other hand I do like and he is a challenge worthy of facing. It gives me something to strive for. Someone worth trying to defeat.”

(Thanks for asking @winterdeepelegy )
