Pandora's Fox II

[folkie]

PANDORA'S FOX II

If you were here last June, do you remember that app that appeared on the relics then, Pandora's Fox? It's all about finding your Familiar bond. It's been available for people to use since every Star Child was forced to fill it out or have it filled out for them with its grand reveal. However, it's sat quietly in the background unobtrusive to those who didn't click to see what it was about.

Until now.

That's right, Pandora's Fox is back! (and with a makeover). The app has been rejiggered with old questions and new, including some specific to each Role! The app will buzz and open itself with a blank profile waiting to be filled out. Star Children can fill it out for themselves—as long as they don't lie. This app will not allow Star Children to lie. Honesty is important in a Familiar bond. Star Children who lie may find that answer filled in a little too honestly and unable to be deleted. Anyone who waits too long to fill it in will find it answered for them!

Familiar bonds come in all different shapes and sizes, so find the right person for you!

This is game canon!

Questions

[folkie]

[aquilasshadow]

Does the compulsion to be a bit too honest after trying to lie only apply to writing their profile, or does it carry over to replies as well?

[spectre_5]

Sabine Wren/Spectre 5
21 | Female | Familiar

A Mandalorian, explosives expert, and graffiti artist -- qualities that come in handy when defying an oppressive rule. I'm an artist and a rebel and I enjoy painting what I see, as I see it.

My favorite of these colors is: Violet & Red-orange

I live in: Epiphany

I spend a lot of time in: Amrita (obviously)

I choose these areas because: I was invited to stay with my family, and right now we're all kind of trapped in this school.

Regions/locations I avoid: I'll let you know when I get the chance to explore them.

I avoid them because: I can't get past the moat.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I'm not really a hero, I've done some bad things that I need to make up for. But I'm not a myth either, even if there are some who think I should be.

Reasons I would form a bond: We've fought together, you like art, or just if you're cool.

What I want from a bond: Not really sure, I kind of like being on my own.

I favor these animal forms: Haven't really tried the whole shifting thing out yet.

I am interested in: I'll let you know when I figure it out.

The way to win me over is: Impress me.

My dealbreakers are: Egos, boring people, and art critics.

text; un: Lothalite

[ezra_of_lothal]

Oh. We're both Familiars, then. I guess I can try to show you ropes on the shape changing? Although I have a couple of forms and really depends on my mood and mindset, so I'm sure how helpful that it.

Gideon Nav

[necrosavior]

GIDEON NAV
21 | Female | 𝕄

THE NAV
2 parts gay
2 parts sword
1 part regenerating ash

My favorite of these colors is: Red

I live in: Satori Hills

I spend a lot of time in: Epiphany, Agrona Academy, every restaurant ever in Folkmore

I choose these areas because: Home, swords, and food. What more does a girl need?

Regions/locations I avoid: None?

I avoid them because: I don't really avoid anywhere. Don't see a point to. Besides, that's foxbait.

I think I'm a Myth because: Autonomy is one of my top values. Respect it or get out of the way. Don't be like Crux.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: Honestly, not sure. There should be a Myth-Legend bond of some type.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: I don't want to be a cavalier with a cavalier, so whatever that is. Mutual respect. Someone who can tolerate Harrow and handle her okay themselves (otherwise it won't go well for anyone).

I have these physical traits: A tail that can wield a sword, and I see in the dark. That second one isn't totally new to this place.

How I would rule the world: First of all, I have no interest in ruling the world. Secondly, how Folkmore is (minus trials being forced) doesn't seem too bad? Thoughts on scaling it up?

My favorite forms of self-care: A great workout and a hot bath. Oh, throw in some good food too.

My dealbreakers are: Wasp Familiars, cannot be left in a room with Harrow, scared of skeletons, and of the incorrect opinion rapiers are the best swords.

[necrosaint]

Wasp thing ... good idea.

[doesntsing]

MIRIAM 'MIDGE' MAISEL
27 | Female | Familiar

I'm a comedian. Yes, really.

My favorite of these colors is: Burgundy, Blue, Orchid, Lavender

I live in: Tides

I spend a lot of time in: Tides, at the Whalefall where I perform on most Wednesdays, or in Epiphany shopping.

I choose these areas because: I grew up in New York. They're the most like civilization.

Regions/locations I avoid: Cruel Summer, Wintermute

I avoid them because: Who would want to go there?

I think I'm a Familiar because: I don't really see people as good or evil, at least not all the way. Everyone has a little bit of both in them.

Reasons I would form a bond: I don't know. What's the benefit of it? It sounds a lot like marriage to me and I've already failed at that.

What I want from a bond: Mutual trust and understanding? Again, what's in it for either of us?

I favor these animal forms: Cute ones? I really don't care. Can't say I'm that into animal forms.

I am interested in: Either

The way to win me over is: Tell me I'm funny, tell me I'm pretty, treat me like a princess, be kind of sad and broken, but also be flirtatious and make me laugh.

My dealbreakers are: Assholes, people who can't take a joke, people who smoke but get weird about women smoking, anyone younger than 25.

[sine_metu]

I don't think you're the one that failed at marriage.

Katsuki Bakugo | My Hero Academia | Legend

[imtnt]

KATSUKI BAKUGO | GREAT EXPLOSION MURDER GOD DYNAMIGHT
17 | Male | 𝕃

I'm a hero. Professionally.

My favorite of these colors is: Red. Weirdly specific list of colors.

I live in: Amrita Academy/Baba Yaga at the moment. I'll find a better place that where I was crashing before we all got shunted here. You know, once we're out of here.

I spend a lot of time in: Wherever Baba Yaga walks.

I choose these areas because: As someone who got here recently, it's not exactly been our choice. Duh.

Regions/locations I avoid: The ocean, I guess.

I avoid them because: There aren't any lost Star Children in the ocean outside Tides.

I think I'm a Legend because: I'm a hero. Professional heroes fit the bill, at least those that are the real deal.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: To have a sidekick.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: Professional support, heroing. So be ready for that.

I have these physical traits: [ Filled in for him because he didn't realize it was for his role ] Mood-changing eyes, wings, and halo.

My mood ring eye colors mean: I haven't bothered figuring that out.

The best way to help people is: Save their lives. Save the world. Make it safe enough for them to live in it.

My dealbreakers are: Villains & villain sympathizers, pathetic wimps, and anyone who can't keep up.

[lunchboxs]

A professional hero? You seem a little young to be on the police force!

[nativized]

LEX ADAMS
25ish | Man | Legend!

The dashing SPARKING adventurer himself! Seriously though, a mercenary by trade who has been here six months or so.

My favorite of these colors is: Blue I suppose

I live in: To be determined! (leaning Satori Hills)

I spend a lot of time in: Epiphany as a whole, Tides, and to a lesser extent Gram

I choose these areas because: A surprising amount of the people I meet live in those areas (also Tides is really cool looking)

Regions/locations I avoid: Exile (sort of)

I avoid them because: Exile doesn't let me in; I also don't spend a ton of time in Wintermute's area

I think I'm a Legend because: I wish I knew! Theatrics, maybe

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: Having that sort of connection sounds interesting to experience

What I want from a Familiar Bond: To be connected

I have these physical traits: Just the eyes usually, a halo appears under specific conditions. I think I'm a bit tougher than back home.

My mood ring eye colors mean: Not sure! You tell me?

The best way to help people is: To reach out to them when they need it.

My dealbreakers are: Who can say? I've never had a familiar bond before!

[goldenturtle]

Satori Hills has air conditioning.

CALE THAMES HENITUSE
21 | Male | Familiar

What weird dating app bullshit is this? I am unemployed and my dream is to be a rich slacker. I have three children. The youngest is a dragon and the older two are Cat Tribe kittens. They average ten years old and incredible.

My favorite of these colors is: Grey?

I live in: Epiphany

I spend a lot of time in: Epiphany

I choose these areas because: It is a bit similar to Korea.

Regions/locations I avoid: Wintermute, Cruel Summer, Exile

I avoid them because: Too cold, too hot, too scary. Why would I leave the safer and more comfortable areas?

I think I'm a Familiar because: Being a myth or legend would be scary. I am best suited to this role.

Reasons I would form a bond: Protection and money.

What I want from a bond: Someone like my knight. A loyal and trusted ally who can do all the annoying and dangerous things for my weak self.

I favor these animal forms: Cat.

I am interested in: I'm not interested though?

The way to win me over is: Money, expensive things, being a decent person, knowing what I want without me telling you.

My dealbreakers are: Manipulative assholes, complete bastards, people who need a lot of explanations, people who are unkind to children or animals.

[unrival]

People keep talking about "dating apps". What does that mean?

[licensetocrane]

APRIL O'NEIL
19| Female | Familiar

Journalism student and the best big sister ever. Side eye her fam any and she'll kick you in the face, probably.

My favorite of these colors is: Green. Duh.

I live in: Epiphany

I spend a lot of time in: Epiphany and Gram

I choose these areas because: Because my family live there? They're nice? These questions are so dumb.

Regions/locations I avoid: I don't avoid none, I just got no reason to go most places except maybe Tides. Which has killer salons, so.

I avoid them because: See above.

I think I'm a Familiar because: Haven't given it much thought tbh. Probably because I don't really fit super heroic or super evil, I try to do the right thing but family comes first. Something like that.

Reasons I would form a bond: No idea. You know the only reason I'm answering this is to avoid it being answered for me, right?

What I want from a bond: I mean seriously, what kind of all powerful fox delivers a godawful survey in the midst of this stupid crisis. Are we census taking now or [Communication. Trust.] Oh, I see how it is. Thanks, Thirteen.

I favor these animal forms: Honey badger. Snow leopard. That one's new.

I am interested in: We are not looking to date at this time. (Seriously, if I have to have a bond with anyone it's gonna be like. My already best friend or something.)

The way to win me over is: It's not rocket science. Be a decent human being and/or mutant and/or alien or whatever.

My dealbreakers are: The literal opposite of that.

[bossyboiler]

A honey badger? Is that because you're both short and aggressive?

Alluka Zoldyck & Nanika | Hunter x Hunter | Familiar

[tooawesome]

ALLUKA ZOLDYCK
14 | Female | 𝔽

Oh, I've never had to describe myself before! I'm Alluka Zoldyck, of the world famous (in my world) Zoldyck family of assassins. I'm not an assassin, but everyone else in my family is! I'm fourteen, but next month I'll be closer to fifteen. I've adopted many people while in Folkmore, so I have a big family here as well as back home. Lets be friends!

My favorite of these colors is: Lavender

I live in: the Miss Madeline (Nereid) and in Satori Hills! Two homes because there's so much love in Folkmore.

I spend a lot of time in: Kuma Lisa Academy, Epiphany, Willow, Tides, technically Cruel Summer I guess?

I choose these areas because: I go to school at Kuma Lisa Academy. It's the general school, and since I'm not ready to specialize yet, it made the most sense (that's what Zechs said). I think Nereid may technically be in Cruel Summer, so Cruel Summer and Epiphany are where I live. Willow has flower crowns! Isn't that delightful? Oh, and Tides is a lot of fun. I suppose I also spend time in Never Fade, and sometimes I go to Baba Yaga. Really, I'm happy to go anywhere, especially anywhere my people are.

Regions/locations I avoid: The lower level of Whalefall.

I avoid them because: I'm too young for adult entertainment.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I love people. I was also pretty sheltered before I came here, but even as I'm here over a year now, I think Familiar suits me best. You get to see the world in color, not only black and white.

Reasons I would form a bond: I love someone, it would help them, Nanika wants to, and we're really sure it's what we want to do.

What I want from a bond: A really close relationship with someone where we can share anything with each other and accept each other, flaws, problems, and all.

I favor these animal forms: Dog & panda! I can do others too.

I am interested in: Either. It's all about the right person.

The way to win me over is: Be good to Nanika.

My dealbreakers are: Bullies, someone the people I trust say I shouldn't (we'd have a conversation about it, to be certain), someone who thinks I'm just a child.

[unrival]

Who is Nanika?

[They've never had this conversation.]

[sayhitobianca]

Varric Tethras
40 | Male | Familiar

I'm a dwarf, an archer, a rogue, and a storyteller. Ask me any questions you want about any of the above.

My favorite of these colors is: Red

I live in: got any recommendations? I didn't have a chance to settle down before this place went to shit

I spend a lot of time in: see above

I choose these areas because: Like I've got a choice in any of this? Give me some time, I'll find a place where the ale is flowing and the company is good.

Regions/locations I avoid: I've heard Exile is not the place you want to be.

I avoid them because: I'm trying not to live up to the family name, these days.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I write stories, I don't make them. There's a recipe to a good protagonist, and I know it's not me.

Reasons I would form a bond: It's mutually beneficial. Never let it be said I'm not good for an arrangement that benefits both parties.

What I want from a bond: [ filled out for him because he took too long and lied too much ] Someone I can trust. Someone worth it.

I favor these animal forms: Griffon, apparently. If there's others, I'm not looking forward to figuring them out.

I am interested in: Either

The way to win me over is: Know what sarcasm is and how to use it, don't be needlessly violent, don't be afraid to end up in one of my books.

My dealbreakers are: Don't stab me in the back, leave me for dead on a major expedition, or hurt my friends

[unshod]

OTONO-TACHIBANA MAKIE
25| Female | Familiar

A fallen samurai turned prostitute turned geisha turned killer turned... stay tuned.

My favorite of these colors is: Lavender.

I live in: Gram.

I spend a lot of time in: Gram and Never Fade. The Shattered Spoon Shrine.

I choose these areas because: It's peaceful and they remind me of home. I donate Lore at the shrine that I make playing the shamisen for Never Fade's residents.

Regions/locations I avoid: None.

I avoid them because: I don't visit regularly, but no place is worth avoiding. I did avoid places with extreme temperatures while ill, however.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I lack the will to be either of the other two.

Reasons I would form a bond: I would not.

What I want from a bond: Nothing.

I favor these animal forms: Crow.

I am interested in: I don't know.

The way to win me over is: Not having any demands of me.

My dealbreakers are: Hurting those I care about.

Arthur Harrow
52 **DON'T LET THE DECREPIT APPEARANCE FOOL YOU, HE IS STILL FULL OF LIFE :-D** | Male | Familiar

What the hell is this? **THIS MAN REALLY LIKES TO HELP PEOPLE. LET HIM HELP YOU. :-D**

My favorite of these colors is: Burgundy and lilac

I live in: Puca Park, assuming it's still standing

I spend a lot of time in: Puca Park and Agrona Academy

I choose these areas because: Nobody seems to believe in it. I still have a strong sentimentality for the desert sands.

Regions/locations I avoid: Exile and Epiphany

I avoid them because: People I've murdered live there. They've requested it so I'd say that's the least I could do.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I'm... not sure. I was a Legend when I first came here. I believe there is some lesson to be learned here but I'm not sure what that is. It's possibly nothing at all, just chance, but I can't say either way with certainty.

Reasons I would form a bond: I don't need a bond. **THIS MAN REALLY LIKES TO HELP PEOPLE. LET HIM HELP YOU. :-D** ...If I'm expected to answer, my prior experience as an Avatar makes loyalty very important to me. I'm also willing to work towards improving the world we live in by any means necessary.

What I want from a bond: Forming a bond sounds oddly intrusive. **THIS MAN REALLY LIKES TO HELP PEOPLE. LET HIM HELP YOU. :-D** ...Friends. I'm told I need to work on the skill of friendship.

I favor these animal forms: Jackal. He's... more enthusiastic than I usually am.

I am interested in: Saying just Legends seems short-sighted. I believe I can learn something from other Familiars and Myths as well.

The way to win me over is: Being a good conversationalist and open to the big, existential questions. I'm a chatty person who is probably too curious for my own good. I love a good mystery and the process of unraveling it.

My dealbreakers are: No superheroes. I can't take the egos and dramatics anymore in any form of a social circle. No gods either. I've had enough.

[sayhitobianca]

[ He's not going to comment on most of that, at least not for the moment - mostly because if he does ask about it, he'd rather do so face to face than like this. And yet, he can't resist commenting. ]

What's Puca Park like?

Elizabeth Braddock/Betsy
Complicated | Female | Familiar

X-Men. X-Force. Mutant. Adventurer. Assassin. Spy. Soldier.

My favorite of these colors is: Orchid

I live in: Never Fade.

I spend a lot of time in: Cruel Summer, Exile, Wintermute.

I choose these areas because: I like finding danger.

Regions/locations I avoid: There are no places I go out of my way to avoid.

I avoid them because: I've answered this.

I think I'm a Familiar because: The Fox has a cruel sense of irony.

Reasons I would form a bond: I'm not certain I would.

What I want from a bond: The chance to bring balance to someone, to fix where I've failed before.

I favor these animal forms: Faerie dragon.

I am interested in: It would seem wrong to pick one over the other.

The way to win me over is: It's varied and not as difficult as one might think. Be exciting.

My dealbreakers are: Based on my track records I don't really have them, even when I should.

[nativized]

Cheating me out of confirming my biases as it pertains to your age?! How dare you invoke a woman's inherent right to be coy about her age! Shock! Scandal!

Elven, grumpy, broody, heart of gold! He's great with a sword and learning how to read!

My favorite of these colors is: Burgundy/Red and Blue

I live in: Gram

I spend a lot of time in: Willow, Gram, Prancing Pony, The Lakes, Cobb's House, Rue's House, Hawke's House, Sometime Cruel Summer

I choose these areas because: The people he cares to socialize with are there! He's very loyal and craves the affection of his friends! They are also familiar and not so outside of his understanding.

Regions/locations I avoid: Exile, Tides, Never Fade

I avoid them because: Exile is bad news to him, Never Fade makes him think he's going to fall out of the sky, and Tides reminds him of Minrathous!

I think I'm a Familiar because: He believes he is neither hero nor villain! He believes he's the perfect person to follow those with stronger wills and senses of right and wrong, even if he will fight for what he believes in!

Reasons I would form a bond: He would form a bond to grow closer to someone! As an act of loyalty and trust!

What I want from a bond: For that trust and loyalty to be fully and consensually returned. It's very important to him to be on both equal footing while also giving himself over to someone.

I favor these animal forms: He has two! A really big big big wolf and a white raven! Or is it a hawk?

I am interested in: Cobb. Hawke. Rue. Varric. Steven.

The way to win me over is: Being one of the above people. Or taking the painstaking time to earn his trust and loyalty!

My dealbreakers are: Slavery, Pro-Slavery, Breaking Trust, Betrayal, Magic (he's working on it), Judgement... there is a lot to be honest, just get to know him!

Un: winstrom

[usestwohands]

I believe all who are good should be adverse to slavery.

17 | Male | Familiar

I'm an artist who specializes in murals. I'm open to decorating any space you'd like. I prefer darker pieces. I also do costume design and other themed work. If you're interested, I'm available.

My favorite of these colors are: Two shades of purple to choose from, but I guess I'm going with orchid

I live in: Epiphany, at Kama Lisa, but I'm thinking about moving to Never Fade, transferring to the school there.

I spend a lot of time in: Tides, Exile

I choose these areas because: I like the vibe. Kuma Lisa's a little bit like home. Tides is just a chill place that gets the juices flowing. I like Exile's atmosphere.

Regions/locations I avoid: Wintermute, Cruel Summer

I avoid them because: Mostly, both of them are temperature related reasons.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I'm pretty well-adjusted, all things considered.

Reasons I would form a bond: I don't know. I've never really thought about it.

What I want from a bond: I sort of answered this one already. I guess I'd like a connection, but that's what a bond is, isn't it?

I favor these animal forms: I've only mastered the one I came with, so Raven by default.

I am interested in: Myths. The people most consider villains usually have the more interesting stories.

The way to win me over is: I don't know. Be cool? Maybe creepy? Quirky, definitely.

My dealbreakers are: I can't really think of any.

[aquilasshadow]

Interesting isn't exactly the word I would use but it's always nice to meet a fellow artist.

DILUC RAGNVINDR
23 | Male | Legend

( Diluc of Mondstadt, last surviving Ragnvindr and thus, sole proprietor of the Dawn Winery and popular local tavern the Angel’s Share. Formerly cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, currently Abyss Order hunter and persona non grata as far as the Fatui are concerned. )

I live in: Willow

I spend a lot of time in: Lapine, Leshy, Never Fade, Tides, wherever Kaeya’s work takes him.

I choose these areas because: Kaeya

Regions/locations I avoid: Cruel Summer. Everywhere not listed above.

I avoid them because: I hate the desert and so does Kaeya.

I think I'm a Legend because: I’m stubborn and emotional.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: I love them.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: Security, intimacy.

I have these physical traits: Large owl wings and a golden flaming halo.

My mood ring eye colors mean: Particularly strong emotions.

The best way to help people is: to give them what they need.

My dealbreakers are: No moral compass. Lying to me. Keeping secrets from me.

[shadowsincryo]

You really aren't trying with these. I'm impressed. Reminds me of when people try to interview you when you're busy. Fantastic.

[shadowsincryo]

Kaeya Alberich
23 | Male | Familiar

Kaeya Alberich is a compassionate knight who gives his all for the people. Shy about his emotions, he keeps them locked up. He's a rare find of loyalty and trust once a bond is formed. Doubtless, he will refuse to give one. Once had and lost, it's hard, you see? Only one can likely get one from him.

My favorite of these colors is: The shades of blue, but a particular shade of red is lovely too.

I live in: Willow, up near a mountain in a lovely valley.

I spend a lot of time in: Lapine, Willow. Baba Yaga's school.

I choose these areas because: I live there. As for the school, I'm a professor of Familiar studies. Need to be at the school to teach, hm?

Regions/locations I avoid: Exile

I avoid them because: It is a grim reminder I wish not to tread over. Please don't ask me. I won't answer.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I have and never will be a hero or so selfless that I fit the sort of person with a cause. I've never stood entirely on one side of the line. I've stood between all my life. Why stop now?

Reasons I would form a bond: To show commitment and trust.

What I want from a bond: I had one once with a loved one. It meant everything to reach out and know he was alright. I want trust and commitment. I want honesty. It's what I have to give to such a thing.

I favor these animal forms: Wolf, werewolf, dragon, I run the list of various forms. Why settle when I can use what is needed?

I am interested in: None of it, really.

The way to win me over is: Oh, we can be friends. But I'm not out for a bond with just anyone. As I said, trust is needed. Or a bond won't happen at all.

My dealbreakers are: Selfishness, lack of communication, lack of trust. Lies.

[fogsong]

Trust really is the most important thing for a bond, isn't it? I can't see forming one with a stranger or someone I barely knew.

[woenesday]

Wednesday Addams
16 | Female| Myth

Everything has been filled out for the perpetually sour Wednesday Addams, whose currently maintaining the illusion that she doesn't need people at all. The truth is she's just uncomfortable with the idea of getting close to things that may be taken away.

My favorite of these colors is: Gray.

I live in: Wintermute.

I spend a lot of time in: Wintermute, Lavender, and Baba Yaga.

I choose these areas because: Studying.

Regions/locations I avoid: Willow.

I avoid them because: It reminds me of someone.

I think I'm a Myth because: I'm healthily invested in myself.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: Power or information.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: Power or an increase in knowledge. Companionship that can't leave.

I have these physical traits: Claws, glowing red eyes, nearly translucent white skin.

How I would rule the world: Ruling the world would take more time away from my own personal endeavors than I would want.

My favorite forms of self-care: Everything I do is for self-care.

My dealbreakers are: Sociopaths and serial killers.

[fogsong]

Who does Willow remind you of?

[athiefalways]

Remy leBeau | Gambit
35-ish | Male | Familiar

Mutant. X-Man. English Teacher. Superhero. Thief. Worn a lot of hats in my time. Probably isn't even all of them.

My favorite of these colors is: Red; it matches my eyes

I live in: Never Fade

I spend a lot of time in: Tides, Willow, Exile

I choose these areas because: I like a challenge, but I also like a place to chill. Tides and Willow have the latter. Exile's a place a body can get lost in if it isn't careful, sometimes even if it is.

Regions/locations I avoid: Cruel Summer

I avoid them because: I grew up on the bayou, I'm used to heat, but they don't call that place cruel for nothing.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I'm adaptable, and I don't mind shifting into different roles if the situation calls. Guess the Fox took it literally.

Reasons I would form a bond: There are a few reasons to do such a thing. Might be beneficial, given some of the things that gone down around here.

What I want from a bond: Don't know exactly. Maybe we can talk it out.

I favor these animal forms: Only got the one to my name at the moment, but I'm working on expanding. Not much use for a house cat, unless your problem's mice.

I am interested in: I don't have a preference. Labels aren't always accurate.

The way to win me over is: Avoid doing terrible things for the sake of doing them.

My dealbreakers are: See above.

[serendipitously]

I'm still trying to accept teacher as being real. [ And not just think he's been kidding with it. ]

At least you're a rather handsome cat. When you're not knocking the milk over.

[shackledwithin]

Dan Heng
50+ | Male | Familiar

As this usually goes, I am Dan Heng, a traveler and archivist. As some of you have witnessed recently, I can heal but try not to get hurt too often. I prefer to travel and study the world around us. I'm not one for too much chit-chat, but a conversation from time to time isn't unwelcome.

My favorite of these colors is: I've never really thought about it. I favor green but, all colors have their beauty.

I live in: Gram, you might have noticed a building at the edge of the lake wrapped in fog from time to time. That's the Astral Archive.

I spend a lot of time in: I travel the various regions. There is much to study here. Even if the results don't make sense have the time.

I choose these areas because: It is good to travel.

Regions/locations I avoid: None of them.

I avoid them because: N/a

I think I'm a Familiar because: I would say it is because I have struck out on my own path. It isn't like those who came before; in some ways, pursuing it is selfishness. In another, it is the only one I wish to take for it is one given to me by caring hands. For them and myself, I walk it. I blaze the way before me every day.

Reasons I would form a bond: It is not something to be considered lightly. I require trust and a promise always to communicate. To be bound in such a way is to be a united team. ...I would do it to be able always to reach them and be there to support them. But only with permission and agreement of both.

What I want from a bond: I can't answer that. I don't know. If I committed to it, then it's a show of trust on my part.

I favor these animal forms: Dragon. It is the only one I have. I'm fine with that.

I am interested in: Meeting people and making connections in this world.

The way to win me over is: Show me you respect others and are willing to forge a path that is yours.

My dealbreakers are: Lies, betrayal, I suppose you could say the usual things.

[reignbows]

Green is a good color on you, Dan Heng.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly do these bonds entail?

[vervains]

Elena
18 | Female| Legend

New vampire. Doppelganger. Messy love life. Trying to figure so much shit out.

My favorite of these colors is: Blue.

I live in: Tides, I had to at first and I've just stayed.

I spend a lot of time in: I like to go everywhere really!

I choose these areas because: Epiphany reminds me the most of home and everywhere else just has their own unique fun charm. Or at least something interesting to find in it. Even Exile has something more to it.

Regions/locations I avoid: Nowhere really, I've enjoyed going to every place.

I avoid them because: N/A

I think I'm a Legend because: I actually really don't know. Truthfully, I really don't think it fits, especially not since I died.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: I wouldn't really want to form one, I'm sorry. I'm trying to figure myself out on my own.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: N/A

I have these physical traits: Just the eyes for the most part, my wings only come out sometimes! I'm happy to show them to anyone that wants to see though.

My mood ring eye colors mean: I don't think that's fair to have to reveal that to everyone!

The best way to help people is: I'm working on figuring that out. But I know it's not trying to keep them out of things for their own protection.

My dealbreakers are: Oh hmmm, good question. I guess anyone who would want to harm the people I care about. Or just people who like hurting people and making them feel small in general.

[complicity]

It definitely fits. You're the self sacrificing type, Elena.

[lovestruckidiot]

Damon Salvatore
25 (give or take 149 years) | Male | Myth

Handsome, resourceful, funny, good-time-having vampire who enjoys spontaneous adventures and long walks on the beach.

My favorite of these colors is: Terrible choices. Gray.

I live in: Tides

I spend a lot of time in: Tides, Willow, Epiphany, Wintermute. I get around.

I choose these areas because: Different reasons. Tides because I like the lack of sun, Willow because the mead at that tavern's pretty good, Epiphany because I like the scene, Wintermute because...well, I like the scene there, too.

Regions/locations I avoid: Exile.

I avoid them because: Why does it matter why I avoid it? I hate being sad. The swamp makes me think of all the horrible things I've done and that doesn't make for a happy Damon. Mind your own business.

I think I'm a Myth because: I haven't really thought about it, but since this compulsory exercise seems to be forcing my proverbial hand, I'd have to say it's because of my spontaneousness. Not really. I do things for my people, not for the greater good. I tried that once. It got me nothing but pain, suffering, heartbreak, and dead. It might also be tied to my volatile temper that makes me homicidal and the fact that I would do anything, and I mean anything, to do what I think is right, even if that means lying, manipulating, and Compelling whoever I need to to get it done. You know, Thirteen, I was just going to say "I'm ruthless", but sure, let's make Damon spill his guts.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: To be a part of something. Oh, that sounds lame.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: Information. I can even answer that one honestly. We could literally be in two places at once. Think of the possibilities.

I have these physical traits: Fangs. I have those anyway, but in my own world, they go away when I don't need them.

How I would rule the world: Who wants to rule the world? I'm immortal! That sounds like a full-time job. Who would want that for eternity?

My favorite forms of self-care: Hunting, either traditionally or in more urban settings. A good night in with my best girl or a good book and whiskey are decent stand-ins.

My dealbreakers are: In familiars? Never moral-high-ground me.

[dathomirs]

[ Merrin didn't think she was particularly looking to form a familiar bond with anyone but Cal, but this one's answers remind her enough of herself that she pauses. ]

Your favorite color is grey, hm? What are your thoughts on witches?

[ He isn't from her galaxy, so she doesn't bother to use the word Nightsister yet. ]

[morethanatrickster]

Loki
1,050 by Midgardian reckoning | Male | Myth

Odinson. Prince of Asgard. Rightful King of Jotunheim. Near destroyer of Jotunheim, Near Doomer of Reality. Destroyer of Asgard. Origin of Ragnarok. Oh really, must we play this game? I'll be honest. You have my word. I'm aware of its middling value.

My favorite of these colors is: Green

I live in: Gram, Willow

I spend a lot of time in: Tides, Baba Yaga, Willow

I choose these areas because: I live there, I work there, and Lorna's bar is there. Not in that order, but why I spend so much time in Tides really isn't any of your business.

Regions/locations I avoid: Epiphany

I avoid them because: It has a tendency to make one maudlin.

I think I'm a Myth because: My motives are often self-serving and manipulative. I'm the Prince of Liars and the God of Mischief. I'm a trickster who cares only about his own ideals and little about others, blah blah blah. I'm also a loyal Prince of Asgard who sacrificed himself to save his people and buy his much more altruistic brother the time he needed to save Earth, but that evidently doesn't balance the scales. I suppose I was a selfish bastard for nearly a millennia.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: I haven't given it much thought, really. I don't work particularly well with others. I prefer to go it alone.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: I can't think of anything I'm particularly lacking, nor do I have a strong need for a "minion" here.

I have these physical traits: Horns. Thirteen saw fit to make my royal headdress a part of my being.

How I would rule the world: I'll need you to specify a world before I detail its rule.

My favorite forms of self-care: Research and exploration. I thoroughly enjoy pushing boundaries. Take that however you will.

My dealbreakers are: Again, I work alone.

[scalesbalance]

What are you researching now exactly?

As Written by Spirits

[usestwohands]

Drizzt Do'Urden
59 | Male | Legend

An exiled Dark elf who's faced racism wherever he's gone, a hero who refuses to call himself one, and an awkward duck who chooses not to say things most of the time to avoid saying the wrong thing. Mostly, he's a very young elf who's not even old enough to be considered an adult, who lives in a cave with his pet cat and drastically downplays his own capabilities.

My favorite of these colors is: Green

I live in: Drizzt moves around! That is to say he's homeless, but he has been for a long time. We'd say it was sad, but he's a ranger and likes it that way.

I spend a lot of time in: Leshy, Cruel Summer, Exile

I choose these areas because: He spends a lot of time in Leshy visiting his girlfriend, and spending a lot of time with his girlfriend there, doing boyfriend and girlfriend things. He also spends a lot of time in Exile, in the Swamps of Sorrow, facing his demons, and in Cruel Summer, teaching others how to fight as well as fighting monsters in the sand wastes with his pet cat. Some people would say this is because he has a death wish, but really, he just calls it exercise.

Regions/locations I avoid: None that we've been able to see.

I avoid them because: He doesn't get out to Tides or Never Fade often, but that's likely due to his loathing of the train and the submarine. He really doesn't like the train.

I think I'm a Legend because: Drizzt would say he has no idea why he would be a legend because there's nothing particularly special about him. We say it's because of that very selfless nature, and how he's so willing to die to save people, but not only people. He's willing to die for just about anything he believes in, and he doesn't just go with the status quo on things. He's a real rebel, that Drizzt! He follows his heart, and it usually leads him to heroic deeds. Besides, how can you be a hero if you're the one who named you one? Definite hero material, this one.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: We'd love to see him form a bond, but we're pretty sure he already has one. She's a fancy cat he summons with a magic statue.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: Someone to read my diary. Probably not, but he does keep one. Did anyone know that? They do now!

I have these physical traits: He has huge bat wings, but only sometimes! He's gotten pretty good at it!

My mood ring eye colors mean: He doesn't want anyone to know his eyes turn red when he's angry, because they remind him of his people, who usually have red eyes (his are purple and they make him special), and he also doesn't like being angry.

The best way to help people is: Observe. He learned that the hard way. Someone should ask him about it!

My dealbreakers are: Oh, he really doesn't like slavers, or prejudice, or bullies!

[nativized]

[ . . . So this is written in third person so it's clearly not the guy himself doing it, right? He had talked to this guy the once, curious about the lessons he offered and this summoned thing. But as is, he's curious about something else, ]

What entails a "dark" elf?

[ They were a thing in his childhood stories, but didn't end up being a thing in the reality he encountered. ]

Quill as Read By Spirits (Thanks, he hates it!)

[inkstainedheart]

Quill
15 | Uncertain | Myth

Quill seems like a genial, if sometimes brusque sort, with a seemingly easy way with people that just helps them in their musical performances. However, if you think you know this harengon, no you don't! Getting them to be honest about themselves in any way, shape, or form is like pulling teeth, especially where emotional honesty is concerned. They're quite the talented performer, if their perchance for masks is any hint!

My favorite of these colors is: Orchid (It was his favorite)

I live in: Undecided, because settling somewhere would require a connection or trust and they don't want to allow themselves either.

I spend a lot of time in: The Prancing Pony, Tides, Never Fade, Willow

I choose these areas because: They're excellent places to busk, to get inspired, to find materials for their garment making, and also to drown out the cold crawl of misery, rage, and disassociation they feel whenever they're alone with their own thoughts for too long!

Regions/locations I avoid: Wintermute, Cruel Summer, Epiphany

I avoid them because: They're generally not a big fan of putting themselves in unnecessary danger, and Wintermute gives them uncomfortable flashbacks to the Court of Savagery's domain. And as far as Epiphany goes, they're not about to admit that they're entirely unprepared for the sort of self-reflection the place encourages.

I think I'm a Myth because: It's hardly a surprise when they've masked their self and emotions so very completely that they've subsumed themselves into the identity of another. To say nothing of how clever they are, or how distant their need for revenge has them emotionally from others who would otherwise gladly reach out to them if they allowed the connection.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: They'd claim they'd do it for power, and knowledge. They actually would do it as a way to cling to a connection with someone else as proof that they matter in some way shape or form to anyone.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: Proof that they're worthy of being cared about, and that they're not so broken that they can't care about others in turn.

I have these physical traits: Pale horns with sharp gold tips, as well as fangs and small claws.

How I would rule the world: Their only real framework for power is the Court of Savagery, which is at odds with the person they present the front of. It would be a horrible idea, with them trying their best to be good to those under them without any real sense of how to actually be compassionate or rule without the undercurrent of menace that they learned power was supposed to be wielded with.

My favorite forms of self-care: They're rather bad at self-care, but they do find comfort in writing letters in their journal, for all they'll never be received by the recipient.

My dealbreakers are: Dogs, especially hunting dogs, archfey, cruelty for cruelty's sake, cowardice, disloyalty, slavery, mind control.

[notgrande]

Uh - you okay?

[ Venti's very concerned about Quill. He did not realize they were as young as they are. ]
