For the Arcana lore ask: I, II, VII and XVII, for all your OCs please!
Thanks for the ask! :D Here I go!
I.) How did your MC and their LI first meet?
Niamh and Asra had 3 short encounters before they really met each other.
First, they crossed paths at the Palace. Niamh had been summoned by Lucio for a mission and she ran into Asra, who was trying to cause some mischief. She smiled and pretended not to see him on her way out, to his relief.
Second, Asra saw a masked person known as "Chimaera" running from some guards, they ran near the Docks and hid near what used to be his home. Asra saw Niamh changing her clothes and hiding her mask, trying to get away. He helped her by creating a diversion with his magic, allowing her to flee. Niamh saw a glimpse of him before she did.
Third, Niamh noticed Asra's little "shop" and recognized him. So to thank him, she pretended to offer some promotions and gifted him an enchanted mug, with a small jewel hidden inside.
In the days following this last encounter, Niamh saw several signs that pointed to an important meeting, linked to (romantic) love. She went to watch the Prakran Princess' arrival, and then she noticed the last sign pointing to Asra, who was standing near her. When the crowd got agitated, Niamh took his hand, pulling him out of it and she invited him into the shop.
II.) What was your MC’s first impression of their LI? What about their LI’s first impression of them? Was it accurate or did them getting to know one another change how they saw each other?
In summary: the general impression they got was quite accurate, but getting to know each other is what got them to fall in love and see the other in a better like, not just as a rather vague idea.
Asra striked Niamh as someone who doesn't stay in the same place for long, unless something or someone important served as an anchor. - which is why she wanted to make an impression quickly, to seize her chance! She thought he was sweet; at first, she had an inner joke in which she compared him to a cute sheep (due to his fluffy white hair), but then she realized he was closer to a wild fox.
Asra pinned Niamh as a kind-hearted and warm woman, a bit stay-at-home though, despite her masked getaway/adventures. He could see her inner strength and powers and thought she was a peaceful strength, and that she could be "an iron fist in a velvet glove". Then Asra realized she was more adventurous and traveler than he thought, among other things.
VII.) What is your MC’s favoured element to cast with?
Before her death: Earth. After her resurrection: Fire (irony or not irony?).
Earth as in "the nourrishing earth" and a stable force, supportive.
Fire, inspired by the cycle of a Phoenix and because it's an element that is linked to change.
XVII.) What Tarot Card do you think best represents your MC?
Strength~ ! Check this page for the meanings ;)
I.) How did your MC and their LI first meet?
With his phobia of corpses, Réamann never went to watch the games or executions in the Colyseum, thus he only had heard of "the Scourge", even without Muriel's pact, he would never have recognized or guessed Muriel had been that person.
Muriel had seen Réamann in the streets and the forest several times, more likely heard him singing and playing his Crwth before the two really meet. He knew
It happened shortly after Réadiscovered Niamh's resurrection. He was upset, feeling betrayed by Asra who had "hidden her" for months, so he ran to his spot into the forest to cry his heart out in peace and ran into Muriel on the way. At first, Muriel wanted to ignore him but quickly felt like a heartless monster for doing so. Muriel silently stood near him as Réamann cried, unsure of what to do or say, he guarded him. However, when he heard Réa cursing Asra under his breath, he couldn't help asking questions and defending his friend.
The two meet several times after that, both by accident and because Muriel wanted to see Réa again, even if the latter didn't remember him completely before he offered him some myrrh.
II.) What was your MC’s first impression of their LI? What about their LI’s first impression of them? Was it accurate or did them getting to know one another change how they saw each other?
Réamann had several "first impression" because of the spell! XD As for the very first, it was of a man who was as lost, confused and angry as he was at the time. After that, he often had the thought "mysterious big man who is quite handsome" impression. The spell made him forget most of their encounters, but since Réamann's magic is strongly bounded to illusions and thanks to one of his special skill, he never really forgot about him, but Muriel seemed like a fleeting, reoccuring dream. He concluded that maybe the man of his dream was either a fantasy or it might be his future lover.
Muriel thought Réamann was a fragile young man at first, a bit too naive, optimistic and too much of a dreamer for his own good. But as he got to know him, he realized Réa was not a fragile flower and was way more clever than most people gave him credit for.
VII.) What is your MC’s favoured element to cast with?
Earth and Wood. Réamann has a very good affinity with crystals in general too, since they are part of the Earth element.
XVII.) What Tarot Card do you think best represents your MC?
The Wheel of Fortune! More infos here ^^
I.) How did your MC and their LI first meet?
Erwin met Lucio during a mission when he was a young mercenary, on his way to Vesuvia with his (adoptive) family. The two were working on their respective mission when their paths crossed; they both believed the other was trying to jeopardize their mission, which lead to an epic duel. They found themselves a bit dumb when they realized that they were no rivals/ennemies!
Things got even more awkward when Erwin was invited into Lucio's group (still Montag back then). Lucio kept telling everyone that he rallied Erwin to his side during their duel for years - "My honour is safe like that!". Erwin never bothered to tell his version to anyone else outside of his closed relatives and friends. However, he was impressed by Lucio's skills in fight and thought he found his match and a good rival in him.
II.) What was your MC’s first impression of their LI? What about their LI’s first impression of them? Was it accurate or did them getting to know one another change how they saw each other?
"He's a very good warrior, too bad that he's also big-mouthed, petulant jerk. He could be a great leader otherwise." Erwin, yeah 0XY, Month A, Day B.
What Erwin kept for himself was how attractive he found Lucio, and not just as in physical/sexual attraction. As they spent time together, Erwin saw more of Lucio/Montag, admiration and fellowship turned into friendship, then into love on Erwin's side.
Lucio begrudgingly thought that Erwin was a great fighter and addition to his mercenary group. For a while, he was a bit wary of him, afraid the latter might try and take his place. When he realized Erwin was not the ambitious type, the two could get closer. He found a confidant in Erwin and hoped for a "friend with benefits" after seeing the latter half-naked/naked.
VII.) What is your MC’s favoured element to cast with?
Erwin is not a magician, but he is close to the Metal and Fire elements. He has some affinities with Water due to his origins and childhood though.
XVII.) What Tarot Card do you think best represents your MC?
Judgement! See here for more :)
