破顔 / Hagan / A Wide Smile
*reposted because I hated the formatting in the previous version of this post HAHA
Ahhhhh this was really tricky to translate as this song was full of metaphors (classic Satocchan). But even though it hurt my brain so much, I pushed through as I believe this is one of their best songs - I feel like it’s a love letter of some sort to their fans/supporters for being their light, and because they received so much love and support (light) from them, they will do their best to pass on that light to others through their music.
Anyway, hope this post and this song will make you smile widely, too :)
帰り道のライト 何らかの合図を 無機質に放つビルたちの
名前は知らんよ でもありがとう 開いてく心の搬入口
暖かな窓 カーテンの奥を 推し量ることは野暮だけど
幸せ願うよ 暮らしのサインを くれた顔も知らぬ仲間たち
あなたが居るなら人生は今日も平和だ
到底僕じゃ払えもしないような 深い闇さえもぼやかしてしまう
街の誰そ彼の人生の 無数の美しさに途方に暮れる
ため息をつくと 止めてよってちょっと 叱ってくるおかしな奴がいる
言葉ではないよ 点滅のレッド 泳ぐ四輪二輪魚の群れ
眺めてた僕の荷物は笑みへと変わった
到底ひとりじゃ作れもしないような 愛着の湧くシワのひとつひとつ
君のあなたのお前たちの その頼もしさに途方に暮れる
消えてくライト 静けさと共に 灯り出すライト 代わる代わる
訪れる夜を 生き抜くための大事な光を
宿してる誰も 届いてるちゃんと ちゃんと ちゃんと
到底僕じゃ払えもしないような 深い闇さえもぼやかしてしまう
街の誰そ彼の人生の 無数の美しさに途方に暮れる
きっと僕らは受け取ってしまう 色んな恐怖も色んな悲しみも
それを背負ったもの同士だからこそ 互いを照らし合っては笑う
全てのライト おやすみありがとう 届いてるちゃんと ちゃんと

The lights on the way home, being emitted by those cold, lifeless buildings, serves as some sort of signal
I may not know their names, but I'm thankful, (since) they opened up the (service) entrance to their hearts
Although it's dumb to guess who or what’s behind these curtains and warm windows
I wish these friends, who have been giving me signs to live, happiness, even though I don't know their faces
As long as you're here, this life, as well as the present, will be peaceful
I am in awe of the beauty of the countless stars (scattered across) the vast twilight sky in this city*
A darkness so deep that it's impossible to clear it up no matter how much I try - even if I do try, it'll just be blurry at best
As I breathed a sigh, I stopped for a while; a weird guy scolds at someone
Without any words, the red lights blinked; the four-wheeled and two wheeled vehicles moving like a school of fishes (also begin to stop)
I watched as my baggages turned into smiles
I am left in awe of the kindness of each and every one of you**
That even if one doesn't make an effort to make connections, one by one, those feelings (of affection) eventually reach me, like a ripple
The lights come on and then disappear with the silence, they change, one after the other
That precious light that keeps us alive during the nights that (always) come
I'll carry it with me and make sure it reaches someone, for sure, I'll make sure of that
I am in awe of the beauty of the countless stars (scattered across) the vast twilight sky in this city
A darkness so deep that it's impossible to clear it up no matter how much I try - even if I do try, it'll just be blurry at best
Surely, we'll have to accept everything - even the (various) fears and sadness
It is exactly because we go through all these things together that we can shine and laugh at these together
The lights, as well as the good night and thank you's - I'll make sure they reach someone, for sure
T/N
"*OH GOD HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN THESE TWO LINES IT WAS SO HARD TO TRANSLATE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WHATEVER TRANSLATION I MAKE IT WILL NOT DO THE LINES JUSTICE :(( I WILL ALWAYS BE AMAZED OF HOW SATOCCHAN IS A GENIUS WITH WORDS. Tasogare, with the kanji he used in the lyrics, would mean "who is that?". This is actually an old adage/old way of referring to unknown people. In recent times, ""tasogare"" (with the kanji 黄昏) means "twilight", which, actually comes from the old meaning of tasogare. If you look at the lyrics, you will see that both meanings of tasogare work with the context of the song = it may mean that he is completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the lives of the immeasurable number of people he's never known in town (as immeasurable as the stars in the twilight sky). The people interpretation will also work with the song as it can be used as reference for the second chorus (kimi no anata no omaetachi no)."
"**Kimi no, anata no, omaetachi no - kimi, anata, and omae all mean ""you"" when translated into english, but the differences in these lie in the degree of closeness the speaker has with the other party being pertained to. Kimi is more casual and can refer to friends, family, and loved ones, anata to other people one knows (acquaintances, etc; but can also be used with people you have a very close relationship with, especially since anata is sometimes used between husband and wife), and omaetachi to those you don't have a personal relationship with."

MistFallen Characters
Quick list of my in game characters
_____
Aurelia Dragonwings
Charr | Female (she/her) | 1289 AE | Warrior Revenant | The Mistfallen, First Pact Commander & Leader of Dragon’s Watch
Strong, fierce and brave, but also more caring and considerate than one would expect from a charr of her stature and fame.
Once part of an elite Blood Legion warband, during the mayhem that followed Kralkatorrik’s wake she lost her family and ended up in the Mists. Years later, she re-emerged with new mysterious powers and something wrong with her (besides the voices in her head), but little to no knowledge of what had happened in that time due to her fogged memory.
Since then, she’s come into her own as a leader, as Aurene’s Champion and as the heart of her new family, finally moving on from the heavy grief that held her heart.
Dam of Adamas, mother figure of many, widow of Ardea (as of 1320 AE), mate of Ellara (as of 1333 AE).
Tags: #Aurelia Dragonwings, #Aurelia
_____
Adamas Crystalsoul
Charr | Male (he/him) | 1308 AE | Scrapper/Holosmith | Ex-Commander & second-in-command of Dragon’s Watch
Smart, brave and with a leader’s heart, he was set to be the Legionnaire of the Crystal warband, but Kralkatorrik’s wake left him a gladium before even he even left the fahrar. Escaping from the Legions’ grasp as he feared for his life, he was adopted by his new family in Lion’s Arch and nursed back to full health, and later followed his new brother in the Order of Whispers as a Creator.
After finding his mother again, he managed to let go of his traumatic past and move on to become who he was meant to be in the Pact first and then in Dragon’s Watch, with Maeveryl and later Deryn by his side.
Cub of Aurelia, adoptive brother of Tocchix, mate of Maeveryl (1325 AE) and Deryn (1331 AE), sire of Iridis and Diane.
Tag: #Adamas Crystalsoul
_____
Tocchix
Asura | Trans male (he/him) | 1307 AE | Daredevil | Lightbringer
Empathic and always ready to help others, he's loyal to a fault to his family and friends, and to the Pact.
One of the best scouts and agents of the Order of Whispers due to his dexterity and rigorous training received from his mentors, he used to be a ray of sunshine, but an unexpected betrayal cast a shadow of self-doubt and self-loathing on him, turning him into more of a reckless mess the more he tried to fix things, until the right someone helped him find a way out.
"Cousin" of Bunnie, adoptive brother of Adamas, ex-partner of Iotta, partner of Huki, adoptive father of [names pending].
Tag: #Tocchix
_____
Maeveryl
Sylvari | Agender (they/them) | 1317 AE | Berserker | Priory Scholar & member of Dragon's Watch
Bright, cheery and a total nerd, they try their best not to let the past cloud their future.
Scholar of the Durman's Priory, their memory is scary good at remembering where they read what. Doesn't like fighting unless necessary, but their combat prowess is not to be undervalued, especially after learning how to tame the berserker powers they accidentally obtained for a certain artifact.
Mate of Adamas (1325 AE) and platonic partner of Deryn, parent of Iridis and Diane, best friend of Hel.
Tag: #Maeveryl
_____
Hel Ravenlost
Norn | Female (she/her) | 1303 AE | Scourge | Ex-Priory Archon & member of Dragon's Watch
Cunning, daring and a gifted necromancer, the irony of dreading mortality -not her own but that of those she loves- isn't lost on her, and her studies in the Priory spurred by grief brought her down a dangerous path in Elona.
Saved by saving others and coming to terms with her fears, she managed to find her own path, which brought the Ravenlost back under Raven's wing, and then set her free.
Best friend of Maeveryl, partner of Nari (1335 AE).
Tag: #Hel Ravenlost
_____
Ellara Echodancer
Charr | Female (she/her) | 1295 AE | Mesmer | Lightbringer
Smart, quick-thinking and sassy, she's an excellent spy and a smooth duelist, always moving with feline elegance and swift elusiveness. Chooses to ignore the fact she's a bit of an emotional mess, prefers to take care of others and her job instead.
She left the Ash Legion and joined the Order of Whispers after losing her late mate, only to find herself as double agent for both. Her warband had followed her through thick and thin, and after losing them as well, she dedicated herself fully to the well-being of her loved ones through her job, which meant aiding Aurelia whenever possible.
Mate of Aurelia (fell tail over horns for her, was fine with being her close friend for 8 years, is more than fine as of 1333 AE).
Tag: #Ellara Echodancer
_____
Bunnie
Asura | Non-binary female (she/they) | 1308 AE | Mechanist | Pact > Crystal Bloom Quartermaster
Spunky and abrasive golemancer prodigy, she is known for her UNK series of golems, frequent victories in clandestine golem throwdowns and the title of Snaff Savant.
Joined the Pact to help her family and friends in their efforts, going from a simple Vigil's supply officer to Pact supplymaster, and later being one of the first to join the Order of the Crystal Bloom as a quartermaster.
"Cousin" of Tocchix, old friend of Zojja, "cuddlefriend" of Nuvly, partner of Farka.
Tag: #Bunnie | In game name: Golemancer Bunnie
_____
Ethanryel
Sylvari | Agender (they/them) | 1320 AE | Weaver | Grace of Aurene & second-in-command of the Crystal Bloom
Awakened the day of Glint’s death, their Wyld Hunt showed them a strong light surrounded by figures they were meant to follow, particularly who they'd get to know as Caithe and Aurelia. Going through adventurous hoops and painful loops, they proceeded to do just that in their own way, until they became known as the “Grace of Aurene” after being granted powers by her intervention to heal them.
A bit odd, often just quietly gravitating around people and always ready to listen and help, they know a lot of things, just rarely what you expect them to know.
Good friend of Caithe, Aurelia, Tocchix and Bunnie.
Tag: #Ethanryel
_____
Deryn
Charr | Female (she/her) | 1310 AE | Dragonhunter/Firebrand | Olmakhan & member of Dragon's Watch
Carefree, daring and fun-loving, she wanted to leave the Sandswept Isles since she was a cub, knowing her future was past those shores despite her strong sense of responsibility towards her people.
Skilled hunter and self-taught magic user, she's not afraid to fight and eagerly joined the Pact first and then Dragon's Watch after things with Adamas got serious.
Mate of Adamas (1331 AE) and platonic partner of Maeveryl, dam of Iridis and Diane.
Tag: #Deryn | In game name: Deryn Skylight
_____
Markus Blake
Human | Male (he/him) | 1310 AE | Ranger | Lionguard, currently Deputy
[WIP]He was the first person Aurelia met after re-emerging from the Mists, and he and his mother took care of her as she recovered.
Eagerly followed in his father's steps and became a Lionguard.
Partner of Fynn and Kai, father of [name pending].
Tag: #Markus Blake | In game name: Lionguard Markus
_____
Iotta
Asura | Female (she/her) | 1305 AE | Necromancer/Thief | Ex-Lightbringer & Lead Executive Supervisor of Rata Primus
Stone cold, snarky and intimidating, she was an extremely skilled Inquest operative who was trained to go undercover in the Order of Whispers to spy on their plans.
Determined to prove her worth no matter the cost to herself, she's successfully completed her mission and has become a high-ranking Inquest member in the security department under her mentor, but her only failure and regret kept haunting her until the day of the Awakened invasion of Rata Primus, then freed her from the nightmare of awakening.
Ex-partner of Tocchix.
Tag: #Iotta | In game name: Lightbringer Iotta
_____
Poffi
Asura | Female (she/her) | 1307 AE | Deadeye | Agent of the Order of Whispers
Despite being insecure and shy beyond saving, she was a proficient sniper with nearly perfect aim, as well as a pretty good cook.
She was a member of Nadine's team along with Iotta and Tocchix, and had a massive crush on him.
Died in Orr.
Tag: #Poffi | In game name: Agent Poffi
_____
Daunte Burstspell
Charr | Male (he/him) | 1296 AE | Tempest | Vigil Crusader
Veteran Crusader of the Vigil, he was a reliable soldier who thrived in the middle of the chain of command, serving also as a first-aid healer when necessary. Aggression-happy, standoff-ish and brazen, he's not highly sociable and tended to veil everything he said in sarcasm, preferring to show his feelings in concrete ways.
His years of service in the Blood Legion alongside the Commander's late warband and the loss of his warband and mate left him disillusioned in the Legions' chain of command, and he found a new purpose in the Vigil, trusting Almorra to guide them to victory.
Died in the Heart of Maguuma, taking out a small horde of Mordrem.
Old friend of Aurelia, widower of Verge, ??? of Hagan.
Tag: #Daunte Burstspell
_____
[pic tba]
Hagan Wesson
Norn | Male (he/him) | 1302 AE | Thief/Specter | Vigil Lieutenant
[WIP: can't find a way to sum him up neatly, so for now I'll just say "himbo"]
??? of Daunte, ex-partner of Gaell, partner of Flom and Gretna (same pod with Nuvly and Bunnie)
Tag: #Hagan | In game name: Hagan Wesson
_____
Flom
Asura | Male (he/him) | 1306 AE | "Revenant" | Pact technician
Awkward and with no spine, he used to be an Inquest technician working on portal technology, until an experiment gone awry resulted in the death of his krewe and him being "possessed" by an exiled Margonite, Zar'gol.
Kept as specimen in Rata Primus, he was rescued by the Commander and later managed to build a good friendship with the "demon", who then helped him regain control of his life in exchange of letting it experience Tyria once again.
Partner of Hagan and Nuvly (same pod with Bunnie)
Tag: #Flom #Zar'gol | In game name: Technician Flom
_____
Zehmik
Asura | Male (he/him) | 1??? AE | Spellbreaker | Mist Warrior
[WIP: guy has seen some stuff because he's been stuck in the Mist War for almost two decades in order to keep his family safe. Oh wait now he can finally come out, time for shenanigans! Oh, hi again, Aurelia!]
Tag: #Zehmik | In game name: Defender Zehmik
_____
Nari
Human | Female (she/her) | 1308 AE | Bladesworn | Kestrel
Wise beyond her years and impulsive at the same time, her mixed heritage comes from a fairly complicated and unlucky family history, and she felt out of place as she grew up in New Kaineng, living with her father after her mother's passing.
She joined the Kestel as soon as they let her, wanting to continue her mother's work. Good scout, likes to go undercover, she doesn't mind having the occasional chance to use the gunblade she crafted herself.
Partner of Hel (1335 AE).
Tag: #Nari | In game name: Kestrel Nari
_____
Edraas Noiza
Draconic asura hybrid | ? (it/its) | 13?? AE | "Willbender" | Ex-Inquest specimen & Priory ward/scholar
Absolutely regular asura who looks just a bit uncanny, totally not an escaped Inquest experiment that was recovered by a group of people in the Heart of Maguuma and is now a ward of the Durman's Priory under secrecy for respectful analysis, real body legitimately not hidden by layers of glamour for its safety.
When not coveting its hoard (reading through the Priory's library), it mostly hangs out with Kendra as she tends to animals or with the Priory's flock of skyscales.
Tag: #Noiza
_____
Haidee
Asura | Female (she/her) | 1303 AE | Mirage | Order of Whispers's "associate" & researcher in Taimi's krewe
She and her partner Dorrya [my partner's character] are both acquaintances of Zojja, and they decided to aid the Pact during most of their campaigns without ever really joining in, stepping in to help with various tasks when required, such as helping survivors, handling supplies or evacuating people. After Kralkatorrik's death, they joined Taimi's krewe and later managed her old lab while she was in the Eye of the North.
Currently taking a vacation with her partner, still in contact with Taimi in case they're needed.
Tag: #Haidee | In game name: Haidee The Mirage
_____
Okami Whitewings
Charr | Agender (they/them) | 1295 AE | Ranger | [my main and fursona's self-insert]
Became a member of the Wings warband after Aurelia left Reeva in charge as Legionnaire and kept their status of free agent.
No one knows what their exact deal is (they swear not to be involved with the Order of Whispers) and they don't exactly know the Commander, but they're often seen around Tyria doing a variety of stuff.
Partner of Xyrod and best friend of Doryx [my partner's characters].
Tag: #Okami Whitewings
_____
Ye Jam
Fractal anomaly? | ??? | ???? AE | ???
Aurelia's mind has blocked out most of her time in the Mists, but she remembers... a friend? Multiple or the same? Always different, always there...
Tag: #Ye Jam
