Sorry, I may have edited this a few times.

Rika is that person who was leader of their org, but quit to join the enemy. Though Shaddus looks down on her for it, he recognizes her superior might, and somewhat respects her for that. He sort of likes her because she was married to Casilu, who is one of Shaddus' favorite people.

Eventru is that divine Shaddus feels most opposed to, possibly because IRL, believe it or not, Shaddus is sort of like Eventru is IC (The jovial happiness and goofiness when he is in a good mood, IE not at home). Eventru's "We're better than you are, there's no way to fix it" attitude irks Shaddus, keeping him from being quiet when he should be.

Just gonna do a bunch of yall...

Ashteru - Sadhyra first met Ashteru through a random tell. "Hmm, are you single?" Slightly taken aback by the question, she simply responded, "What." Apparently he was on the wife hunt, in a search for a missus to be good arm candy and whatnot. Sadhyra, being the arrogant Elfen that she was, found the egotism intruiging, but also worthy of some caustic returnfire. Apparently he's the masochistic type, because by the end of their first meeting (complete with him being dirged) he declared that he wasn't looking at any other "candidates."

That balance and battle of egos has made for a rather fun relationship, although sometimes I end up feeling like a mother when he gets in sulks over the commune's drama, or vice-versa, when he cleans up messes Saddy makes (or, as he so enjoys, points out her weaknesses *grr!*). Rather surprised at his reaction to the race change to Keph, and I admire how he somehow manages to convey both love for the soul while amused disgust/teasing about the body. All in all, fun, even if I do end up dying more for having known him.

Esano - Really the first person Sadhyra ever met and had a clear concept of, who wasn't some guild leader. A relationship based on (from his side) mild and institutional hatred and (on hers) a refusal to accept that any part of her is inferior. Also, somewhere in there, is (at least from Sadhyra) a pretty strong admiration for the intelligence she sees and the more pensive moments he provokes - be that introspective views of what's working/failing in Glomdoring, or constant on-the-toes verbal sparring. Oddly, despite (or because of?) all that, he's probably the person Sadhyra would call her closest friend. A complex, mature, witty and intriguing character.

Exeryte - I'm noticing a theme in my favorite people remarks, and Ex is no exception. I adore our light-hearted repulsion with each other, and, now that he rarely mentions the various crafting-uses of kepheras, he might even be starting to win Sadhyra over. It's definitely been at least a few hours since I've taunted him. Very smart man, fun character, and I always enjoy the time I get to spend with him, even if it does make half of Glom panic because we are "fighting".

Eliron - Sadhyra's mentor, he's somewhat drifted out of her life, probably almost entirely by her own doing, something she's now growing to regret. As a new Harb, Sad tried far too hard to be independent and someone the guild could rely on, and that mentor/protege connection dwindled essentially to quiescence. He's also busy RL and only pops in for little bits.

Urazial - conflicted on this one. Young Sadhyra absolutely thought he was infallible and hero-worshipped him for being the GM. Now that they are somewhat closer to being peers, she can see him in a more human light - lately, she's felt like he's not happy, but he's been somewhat gruff so any overtures to discuss the issue have been rebuked. Turning point probably came when she talked back to him - the goal was to snap him out of his funk, but it seems to have backfired badly.

Talan - At first Sadhyra thought Talan was OCD and somewhat of a bitch. There was definitely head-butting. Now, however, having worked with her, she's come to realize that Talan is completely dedicated to her job and the commune. She might get stressed or react in frustration at times, but it's because she is so devoted. Her competence and intelligence shines through clearly and the only worry Sadhyra has is that Talan will get burnt out in her new role, which would be no fun.

Krackenor - creepy, evil, dark, yet intriguing. Sadhyra loathes the time she spends with him, yet cannot quite avoid him if they meet up. Infuriates her, but also challenges her. On an OOC note, I quite like the racial RP.

Rika likes to tease Sadhyra about being a bug. She remembers talking to her when she was still an elfen, and found Sadhyra to be intelligent, one of the few younger Gloms who would actually end up doing things for Glomdoring (this was when Rika was still a Seren, mind). Rika also respects her for beng able to reject her family boldly, something Rika doesn't know if she can find to courage to do herself if she was ever in such a situation.

Shaddus is one of the very few people Seretenin fully trusts, being one of the few pure-blooded Illithoid of note in the Basin. He respects Shaddus for his ambition, and for having risen so high in the Magnagoran hierarchy. However, Seretenin is currently upset with Shaddus for having reincarnated as an Igasho, or in his eyes, 'despoiling his pure form with the magic of mortals'. He is also none too happy about Shaddus' assimilation into mortal culture, what with him having taken the Mes'ard name, having married outside of his race twice, and the aforementioned reincarnation. However, Seretenin still recognizes the importance of true allies and when you have as few as he does, you can't throw them away so readily.

As for Sadhyra, Seretenin has only had one encounter with her, after he found her influencing Illithoid guards in the city. His hatred of Kephera immediately kicked in, demanding that she leave and when she didn't, they had a duel that Seretenin came out the worse from. Since then, he's sworn revenge against her.

And though I'm cheating by editing and responding to the post below, Krackenor is one of the other very few that Seretenin trusts completely, again, for the same reason as above. Having watched over him since he first emerged from the Undervault, Seretenin initially saw Krackenor as a protege of sorts, but now respects him as a near-equal. Seretenin recognizes Krackenor's skill in the scholarly arts, and sometimes comes to him for council on theories or plans that he develops. However, like Shaddus, Seretenin holds some disappointment in Krackenor, what with him having taken the d'Murani name. That's the extent of his grievances with him though, and it doesn't change the fact that Krackenor is one of the few others with whom Seretenin can share 'That Which is Not for Mortal Minds'.

Krackenor finds Sadhyra to be immensely amusing, in a way a cat might find a rat amusing. He enjoys prodding her, getting her to reveal more and more of herself, albeit unknowingly. The fact that she believes herself to be the best thing to happen to the kephera since they trapped Illith only heightens his enjoyment of their verbal spars.

In a different light, Krackenor has mixed views on Seretenin. One one hand, he has immense respect and trust for him for being unwaveringly devoted to the Mother's cause and for being one of those who took the most interest in him when he was younger. On the other, Krackenor finds Seretenin's methods to be far too blunt and heavyhanded. There is an essential difference in philosophy between them; Krackenor prefers a subtle approach and a light touch while Seretenin seems to prefer brute force, both figuratively and literally.

Krackenor is rather indifferent towards Shaddus. He exists, and he has advanced far in Magnagora, but there is little care for him either way.

Are you implying that I'm not?! Le gasp!

Edit: OOC it's knowingly. I'm not as dumb and brash as Saddy RL >_<

In a way Seretenin is sort of like a father-figure to Prisch now and has nothing but adoration for him.

Jigan finds Prisch amusing, but willing to learn. He's willing to teach her, but sees her more as an experiment and a reason to screw over a member of Fain's Order to see what they do. If she blossoms into a wonderful little Fainite, s'all good. A new tool for Fain. If she doesn't, well..."Seretenin had her eating out of his palm, and he allowed her to slip away, Lord Fain."

As for Sadhyra, Jigan's entire opinion of her is to drop her in a pit, and slam it shut on her. His only experience with her is during a raid when she was harassing someone who was a defender. To him, she's infantile, selfish, and rude, for all the wrong reasons. The moment he remembers her, he'll probably have a little talksy with the Ninjakari, or let Celest know when she's in their territory to let them do his dirty work.

Ah, Jigan.


Jigan is someone Shaddus hated at first, I think Jigan was an ass to him once. Then, Jigan ended up building some furniture for Shaddus, and turned him on to the wild world of artisans.

Scary, I know.

Then Jigan came to Magnagora, and ended up buying quite a bit of furniture from Shaddus. And I do mean A LOT. Jigan is one of the few people Shaddus looks up to and trusts, though he's not sure whether he should or not. Shaddus looks at Jigan like a bigger brother. Sort of

Shaddus is a nice guy. Kial's first meeting with him was him killing him in dreymos, but Kial's a forgiving guy when he's in the mood, and he let Shadd's have his chance. He wants to interact more with him, but he has a feeling that it would end poorly for him, and proabably cause him trouble in Celest at the very least.

Rika thinks Prisch is weird. That's about all she has to say.

Jigan is an odd creature. Celina generally finds his ramblings to be an annoyance and inwardly questions what Fain sees in him. Her faith in Fain's decisions, however, is unwavering so she tolerates him and occasionaly exchanges in a mild banter. One of her more amusing verbal sparring partners, she respects that his insight on most things is unique, if not horribly warped, and understands that he has a part of Fain's ear that she does not (which she despises) and as such, tries to keep relations somewhat civil.

Sadhyra and Celina have only had a very brief interraction, but as usual, her motivation Fain's motivation. She views her as prideful without reason and of a disgraced bloodline, a grub like all the others but slightly more irritating. Fain, however, has expressed a mild interest in Sadhyra, and considering Sadhyra's relation to Somaria, Celina has kept a careful eye on Sadhyra and continues to wait for the percect opportunity to approach her. Essentially, there is scum and useful scum, and Sadhyra just may be the useful scum.

Ev has had his opinion of Jigan completely warped and distorted. He firs met Jigan when he was a Paladin, as Ev had some questions about the way Paladins did things. He was very surprised when Jigan moved to Mag. Now, Ev hears Jigan's market announcements and sees his ads, and constantly thinks "this can't get worse..." And then it does . Ev thinks Jigan has completely lost his mind, but what scares him is that he knows and can discern that behind the maniacal, twisted messages, is a tremendous intelligence and drive.

Prisch used to think Rika was an outwardly intimidating demigoddess growing up.
But that is more of a general consensus by most people and she knows shes just a nice person with an imposing presence.

Jigan is an entertaining source of conversation, amusement, and a reliable employer/income for Prisch. So he is somewhat of a 'boss' type figure to her.

Jigan must've lost it cause of the novices. Poor Doves.

Probably should meet up with me IC at some point for RP or something? That's a rather err extreme and vehement reaction, especially considering said 'defender' was Daedalion.

Celina used to creep Sadhyra out, but now Saddy is completely confused about how she feels about her. Given Somaria's hatred of Celina, then idolization of Fain, then the split from the family, her view of Celina is completely jumbled. Esano respects her and has spoken highly of her to Sadhyra (well, more like, she'll kill you if you look at her funny), and Sadhyra respects Esano, so there is some respect for and a quiet interest in the woman. Currently, she's more of an enigma than anything else to Sadhyra.

Somaria and Sadhyra's relationship has always been slightly rocky, as she could easily be either Daedalion or Lekius's child, Tau being the other. Somaria tends to find herself disappointed by Sadhyra more often than not, merely because she, as a character, expects to be treated as the matriarch of any family should. Though she has other children, some more useful and some not as useful than Sadhyra, she misses her daughter immensely and often orders her husband to slay her on sight in her bitterness. Her rejection of the family tore Somaria like no one else's could have.

Krackenor was Somaria's first 'crush' and essentially the reason she even came to Magnagora. The emotion died very very quickly, and since, she's always regarded him with the same respect any friend would give another. He often surprises her with the things he has to say, but she always enjoys his company, regardless.

Jigan, to Somaria, is like a child who's never been able to mature and have a healthy relationship with someone else. During his courtship of Luciden, he often found himself in her company and that placed him on a lower rung. They had a love/hate relationship for a long time before she finally turned her back and gave up on him entirely. During her issues with Daedalion, he seems to have wormed his way back into her life, but she's determined to treat him as more of a 'big brother'. The kind that often brings cake and such. Literally. She admires him for his hard work, and values him as a useful member of her circle of allies.

Celina, because I can't remember if I did her yet and if I did, I'm certain things have changed a little. Somaria, who is often a woman of many hues, sees Celina as just as unstable only due to one instance, and that was what happened in her manse when Nariah and others were complaining about her on the aethers. Her anger showed Somaria that she wasn't invulnerable to emotion and that was a key turning point in her perception of the High Priestess. She sees a lot, if not too much, of Sthai in Celina, making her a bit more predictable and easy to get around. Somaria grew bored with trying to out-do Celina a long time ago, but if she gets into Magnagora, one can be certain that one day, they'll face off again. (Though not for a long while).

Thoros (because he's yelling at me on the phone to do him like a five year old... ) is seen as Somaria's shelter. Somaria was drawn back to the city by Celina, but stays only for the current Warlord, often seen riding on his back through Astral to harvest Sparkleberries or some such. Overall, he's been nothing but kind and accomidating towards her, whether she's inside Magnagoran walls or elsewhere, often to the point of stretching the laws to make it easier for her. She loves him nearly as much as she loves Shikha and many other close friends and if there were one person she would ever swear her loyalty to, completely, it would be him (Aside from any one of the y'Kaliath).

Somaria - Somaria is an extremely devoted Mother to her children and to her husband Daedalion. As Somaria's and Daedalion's views on parental guidance and discipline are of extreme polars, it tends to express the emotional vulnerability of her character which I may add, she displays often flawlessly. Somaria is an elegant and poliet lady, often showing it in her RP with her obsessive motherly instincts. As she can be sweet, she can be sour and ruthless as the situation calls for it. Very few people can pull off being the sweet mother to the wicked deviant character but Somaria does all this well, and not once have I ever felt her character step out of it's roll.

Daedalion - Daedalion portrays the grumpy father figure perfectly. When it comes down to his family, picture the Vietnam Veteran grandfather always miserable and scowling. I get so many laughs from his character, especially when he's frustrated, using his wide variety of emotes to bring life to his character. He has tried to reach out to Grig once and I feel bad for him because of how weird Grigoloth is. It makes it hard for him to relate in a father-son role, but noneless he still tries, often finding himself just shaking his head and thinking 'Okkkkkkk, this kid is just screwed.

Kiriwe - The sweet little innocent girl next door, full of life and trying to understand the very world around her. That best describes Kiriwe. Often full of questions and concerns, Grig often finds himself learning new things and questioning the world around him as she bombards him with new and interesting thoughts. Playing her role believably is what I adore most about her. When she has not encountered something within the world of Lusternia, she questions it verbally to me. If my answer doesn't quench her knowledge, she'll do the thing most kids do 'why?' or 'how come?' She always wants to be informed, or needs attention as she see's fit which puts the icing (Not Jigan's Icing) on the cake. (Sorry Jigan ha ha)

Grigoloth - is quite literally, Somaria's pride and joy. She adores all of her children, but is most obviously closest to her tainted, naive, psychotic little Viscanti spawn. Though he has done things against her wishes at times, he has never once betrayed her and she often fears he may do so in the future, her largest worry being that he may turn out like Sadhyra and run away from the family. Due to this, she often coddles him to the point of absolutely spoiling him, though not with material possessions as she once did with most of her kids.

As a player, Grigoloth has never failed to 'keep it IC'. Nor has he ever broken character. Aside from Daedalion and a few others, he's likely my favorite to RP with out of the entire playerbase. From a caring son to a sadistic ur'Guard, he plays his role without fail in any situation.

Grigoloth: Sort of odd. Doesn't dislike him, though. Not aware of his parents, either.
Razenth: Tried to run off with her manticores! Also, a Celestian.
Sadhyra: Thinks she is mean.
Rika: Likes Rika. Cackles diabolically over luring her to Glomdoring (at least in her own mind)
Shaddus: Oppinion of Shaddus changes depending on if he is a count or not right now. If he is, she's trying to convince him to do something. If not, she's grumbling that someone else is Count.
Seretenin: Seretenin scares her.
Eventru: Eventru terrifies her. Alot.
Jigan: Iytha admires Jigan greatly and wonders why he treats her like she is crazy.
Celina: Not too sure about Celina, tries to avoid her.
Somaria: What is it doing at the Megalith? Why isn't anyone killing it? What do you mean she's not an enemy?!
