Zubrae's Interactions

Interactions:

Morgan Aster: Moirail. When Zubrae was but a grub he was dominate in his area of the brooding caverns, picking fights and often winning. Morgan came to his rescue when he went over his head and was outmatched and outnumbered. Even after surfacing they remained together and built their hives near each other. This moirallegiance between high and lowblood is what shaped his views on the hemospectrum. Morgan helps pacify his violent nature and prevents him from getting himself into too much trouble, while Zurbrae does everything he can to protect her. He can be over-protective sometimes and will hold grudges against those that hurt or threaten Morgan. It goes without saying they are very close and spend a lot of time together. Alternia (and the universe under troll reign) is a dangerous place and to keep each other sharp and ready they sometimes spar together. Coincidentally, Zubrae is highly resistant to being maced in the face by now.

Lilium Rajani: Zubrae and Lilium are mutual friend through Morgan. Lilium's book collection is impressive to say the least, and when they were younger, Zubrae would borrow several Goosebumps books at a time. His favorite, of course, was anything from the Reader Beware, You Choose the Scare! series. As they grew older, Lilium recommended books of a higher reading level, such as the works of Troll Edgar Allan Poe and Troll Stephen King.

Brimon Lavois: Brimon had the (un)fortune of meeting Zubrae when he stepped outside to see what was going on at the neighboring hive, only to find Zubrae stained with his neighbor's blood. Zubrae immediately took note of Brimon's labcoat and exhausted appearance and believed him to be a real life mad scientist like from a B-horror flick, and tried to befriend the scared troll. Through persistence (and mistaking Brimon's frightened compliance for friendship) the two became good friends as time passed, despite Zubrae's religious beliefs having no basis in science whatsoever.

Shayla Halja: Kismesis. Few people get under Zubrae’s skin quite like Shayla; she always seems to know just how to push his buttons. When they first met, she was just an annoyance and he rejected her red advances. Since then, she's gone out of her way to bother him, finally inspiring romantic feelings out of him... Just in the other quadrant. But emotions can be strange sometimes, and on rare occasions they drift into the flushed quadrant. But as quickly as they flip, they can go right back into their black romance as if nothing has happened.

Atma Zavijava: They first met when Zubrae caught Atma alone, wandering into the field where his hive resides. She was originally meant to serve as a meal for his lusus, but Atma proved capable of defending herself and escaped back into the forest with nothing but some minor cuts. The second time they met, Morgan introduced the two under calmer circumstances and they eventually became friends. Atma tries to act like a highblood (or the chivalrous noble highblood from some dumb fantasy novel rather) while keeping her true blood color secret. Zubrae, however, learned the color of her blood when he tried to kill her, but has promised to keep the secret to himself.

Kesper Rhyde: An online friend that he met while trying out a new game. At first, Zubrae was terrible at it, but so was everyone on the server... except Kesper. So he stuck to him like some kind of gaming adhesive and the two became buddies. Kesper seems to be unnerved by Zubrae's religion, but they remain friends despite this.

Leland Odhrán: In a classic case of being overprotective, Zubrae insisted on coming along when Morgan and Leland were together. While Zubrae was initially skeptical, Leland grew on him and the two eventually became friends. Zubrae's very impressed with Leland's musical prowess and instrument collection, and the two often discuss their favorite video games. Because of Leland's quirk of having nearly everything break or die around him, Zubrae is hesitant to let him borrow anything. More important than anything else, Leland makes Morgan happy, and Zubrae's thankful for this.

Melean Parrok: Zubrae is aware of Melean's webcomic, and while he's read some of it, he has yet to actually finish it. He has no idea that she is acting as an informant to Nereus.

Aerona Morian: Aerona is almost like a little sister to Zubrae, if trolls even could have such a concept. When she was young, one of her lusii was killed, and she was taken in by Morgan and lived in her hive for many sweeps. While there, Zubrae would visit them both frequently and they would watch movies, play video games, and just hang out like friends do, you know? Like Morgan, Zubrae's very protective of Aerona and doesn't have any qualms with fighting any troll that causes her grief. Knowing he would not take it well, neither Aerona nor Morgan told him about an outburst of rage where she attempted to kill Morgan. Even though Aerona has moved into her own hive, she remains a close friend of Zubrae.

Kaiser Skaravaios: Their initial encounter was a violent one which ended in a draw, but since then a level of respect grew between them. Zubrae thinks his card and coin tricks, and other feats of sleight of hand are impressive and never ceases to be amused by them. Infamously known as the Brothers Bane, the two are often up to no good when together, and Morgan doesn't approve. Kaiser and Morgan are always at odds with each other, and Zubrae sees the potential for kismesissitude. Despite Zubrae taking equal part in the debauchery, he'll pass as much of the blame as he reasonably can onto Kaiser when confronted by his moirail; it help gets him out of trouble and encourage the hate between the two.

Nereus Kelpan: Though they are fellow Indigobloods, Nereus and Zubrae are worlds apart. Nereus views the Subjugglators and their clown religion as a threat to the troll empire, second only to piracy. For this reason he has been keeping tabs and collecting information on Zubrae for sweeps, looking for legal cause to have him executed. Zubrae doesn't hold as much contempt for Nereus, only finding him to be a nuisance; despite his threats, Zubrae doesn't believe Nereus has the guts to come after him.

Skotad Agryp: To say that Skotad and Zubrae don't get along would be putting it mildly. Sweeps ago, the seadweller was a good friend of Morgan and Kesper, but something happened and he simply vanished, leaving Morgan to believe he had died. When he reappeared, out of the blue, he was a completely different troll and constantly shrugged off Morgan's efforts to reconnect with him. Not wanting his moirail to be upset, Zubrae began messaging Skotad and tried to force the old friendship back together. It didn't work. Zubrae holds a grudge against Skotad, believing he abandoned his friends. Often, Zubrae will message Skotad just to insult and berate him, and the fact that Skotad rarely returns the scorn only frustrates Zubrae further.

Azrael Deligo: Zubrae and Azrael aren't exactly friends. Despite her regal blood, Zubrae shows her no respect and isn't too happy there's a seadweller so close to Morgan. When he learned of Azrael's unrequited flushcrush on her, he bluntly asserted that she wasn't interested and hoped it would end there. Unfortunately, it didn't and now she's attempting to auspiticize between Morgan and Kaiser, getting in the way of his matchmaking. Zubrae doesn't completely loathe Azrael, but he certainly wishes she wasn't around.

So, just to clarify the ashen thing that's going to be going on between our guys:

Initially, Zubrae tries to get a hold of Skotad after 'tad resurfaces to see if he can reconcile 'tad and his own moirail, Morgan. Skotad reacts badly and sparks a somewhat less than healthy and normal hate-based relationship. Morgan tries to intervene between them sometime during the earlier parts of the rp, but is ultimately unsuccessful because of her previous ties to both of the other trolls, and eventually pulls out of the relationship. This results in an unsteady and somewhat unpredictable hate between the two until Leland is able to take up the auspistice role and bring the relationship to a close.
Is that about right?

Also, we should brainstorm some bad stuffs that would happen as a result of the unauspisticized relationship.

Absolutely right.

As for bad stuffs... I imagine it would go far beyond just insults and threats when Skotad is brought into the session against Zubrae's wishes. Maybe at a point, using Dread powers to try to terrify and torment him? If antagonizing him wasn't amusing enough, I don't think he'd have a problem straight up attempting to murder him. What kind of things do you imagine Skotad would do?

Mostly stuff planned to get him off 'tad's back. Stuff like leaving random traps from his hive around in places where Zubrae might fall into them, but sometimes accidentally getting other players instead.

If there ends up being a Zubrae/Nisaba/Skotad love triangle, blood's going to be spilled, isn't it?

Wait, I thought Zubrae was flushed for Nisaba? Or am I just being a derp?

That's what I mean. If something potentially also starts to develop with Nisaba and Skotad (improbable but not impossible), I get the feeling that Skotad's relationship with Zubrae would take a turn for the far more violent.

Basically I'm just speculating.

Ohhhright! (I was thinking about the ashen stuff, so I got confused.)

Sounds like fun times.

Oh the drama that could come from a triangle like that!

I edited the first post a bit for a few interactions. So far it seems the session is going to be like this early on for Zubrae:

Morgan Aster<>Zubrae Algedi

Zubrae Algedi<3<Shayla Halja

Shayla Halja</3Zubrae Algedi

Zubrae Algedi</3Nisaba Thiele

Morgan Asterc/3<Zubrae Algedi<3<Skotad Agryp

What a delightful mess.

I felt my interactions needed to be given a little more detail. 8D

Updated my interactions finally! Tell me if there's anything you'd like changed, these are your characters too.

That's probably the most perfect description of how they met. A+

Thank you! 8D
