Oh, it's nothing special, really. See, I accidentally came up with another agarthan (who either won't appear at all until the big reveal or is a less important spy) and he and Akakios have a sibling-like relationship. I was thinking that either Searc or Neason could kill him, either during the fight right after the big reveal or in one of the battles that happen even later. So Akakios would go after them to avenge him. If Searc did it he'll target Neason and if Neason was the one who did it he'll go after Searc. He'd still get the wrong one because those two would probably protect one another. Oh, I'm not gonna have him kill either of them if you want both of them to live but he'd probably still do enough damage to traumatize them. I mean sure, Akakios would probably mess with them anyway but he usually wouldn't take a direct approach like that.

Hell yeah! Gotta use his skills for something, after all. Would be a shame if he never used Bohr, after all. And since it "only" reduces the target's hp to 1 they might even get to live xD He better have a plan for getting away after using it though since we have to nerf it for our rp. Sussuru suggested that it also reduces the caster's hp to 1. So yeah, Akakios definitely wants to get out of there after using it because whoever of the twins he didn't attack could easily end him by just poking him xD
Oh, and uh... I kinda got another awful idea today. You know how you suggested that Orryn's friend (who went missing during his time as a student) could get impersonated by an agarthan and appear during the Verdant Rain mission when everyone goes looking for the missing outsiders? Well it just so happens that my boy Nereus is about the same age as Orryn (one year younger, I think)... We don't have to do that of course, you probably want to rp him yourself ^^

love it!!! and def would cause the other twin depending on who, if its searc hes out for blood and want to kill akakios, but if its neason that wasnt attacked akakios would get an easy get away because neason would be busy trying to help searc stay alive
i love that!!! and would be on board for that as well : o

okay but now that im thinking of it, why not make it be neason that killed him, just so that way he can almost lose searc a second time all over again, and it wouldnt have been to long ago when he thought searc was dead the first time lemme just give neason a nice healthy dose of always almost losing his brother constantly

Yup, either option would work. And you make a good point, Akakios using his spell against Searc (either intentionally or accidentally if Searc was protecting Neason) sounds like fun! Though him targeting Searc but getting Neason instead would be pretty bad for them too, making Searc feel useless. Akakios would even be like "Wow dude, what the hell? Your brother will feel worthless now" and not even because he wants to be mean but because he genuinely didn't expect that. But yeah, traumatising Neason twice sounds fun.
Oh, okay cool xD We'd need some info on that guy though. Sure, Nereus won't be able to impersonate him perfectly because he doesn't know much about him but since you want for Orryn to notice that something is off about his friend it'll work just fine.

ahhh either option sounds good for the twins cause either way both end up messed up afterwards, but its so hard to choose : (, but yea lets just have neason be the one that killed the guy, and right as akakios does the spell, searc like knocks neason out of the way and takes the hit instead?
and ye! i can work up a small form for him for you to pull info from and be able to work off : )

Sure, let's do that! Akakios definitely won't mind as he views Searc as the bigger threat so while he will be slightly annoyed that he got the wrong one he's mostly okay with it
Yay, thanks! Take your time though, I also still need to work on Nereus. Guess we're not in a hurry since we won't need them before the Verdant Rain Moon

okay!! and how it can go to add on, neason figures out hes targeting searc, much to everyones surprise cause this idiot figured it out, and confronts him like 'dont hurt him, it was me who did it so just do it to me' akakios can give his thing of 'you know this will make him feel worthless' and then just shrugs cause hes getting to avenge nereus either way, and then searc just cuts in like 'naw sorry but i want this'
and alright! just have to remember and look back to see if i said what country he was from or if i still havent assigned where he was from

That's perfect! Maybe the others will be less surprised because Neason has gotten better at being somewhat smart but there's no way in hell Akakios would expect that. And yeah, I'm all for doing this!
Yeah, I've been wondering about it too xD Not sure if it was ever mentioned somewhere but if you haven't assigned it yet: we don't have anyone from Dagda or Duscur yet. But him being from one of the other countries works too of course ^^

yea probably will have matured and become less idiotic, and okay!! Yorath Rhydderch | 18(at disappearance) | Male | Black Eagles | Assassin(at disappearance) | Crest of Rhys | Yorath is a young man with pale skin. He has long salt and pepper colored hair despite his age, that was often pulled back in a bun. He had two fingers missing on his left hand, his pinky and ring, with scarring that resembled a bite wound. Yorath has bright amber eyes. | Yorath is a cold and standoffish with strangers, taking him a long time to warm up. He is short tempered when it comes to those that harm birds to any degree, and often scolds people for consuming them. Yorath is a skilled man with a bow, able to hit his targets with ease, with his time as a hunter, he aims mostly to kill, but does try to hit non lethal parts on humans. Yorath has a strong moral compass, and was often the one for his class. Yorath is slow to trusting those at the church, as his tribe has different religious beliefs from what is taught in Fodlan. He never is one to speak ill of others to their face, but often would behind their back should it be something that really bothers him. Yorath is a person that often tried to get the full facts of a case before he would make a conclusion as to how he felt about it. | Yorath is the son of Siral and Afon. He is the older brother of Eirian, Gethan, Dewi and Llonis. He had a savannha named Lunete. | Yorath is from a small tribe in Dagda, that lived in the a tropical forest. The tribe hunted for their food, and often used birds to aid them, with a belief that the wined creatures were a sacred being and not to be killed or consumed by any means, and only to be killed if they are to injured to be treated, and are to be released during mating season so they can continue to live. Yorath is the oldest son of the tribe chief, and was being trained to take the mantel once his father passed on, and in one way to improve his skills, left his tribe to go to the Officer's Academy, where he joined the Black Eagles House. At first he kept his distance from the rest of the students, due to their consumption of birds, but eventually got close with some in his house, one being Orryn, who was in his second attempt of graduating the academy. Halfway through the year however Yorath went missing, and hadn't been since. His tribe has never sent another person to the academy as a result of his disappearance, with the tribe holding a grudge. His sister Eirian took on the role of tribe chief, as she was next in line. | Ember34 | Pansexual | not me going and building a whole ass tribe with a religion for birds X D, also he had a strange welsh inspiration with all the naming

Ooooh boy, now this looks like fun! What a shame that he won't actually appear, I like him a lot ^^ I'll see which parts Nereus will get accurate and what he'll struggle with because like I said, he won't know too much about Yorath. I guess either Keres heard about him or someone who's posing as someone who works at the monastery. Or Schuyler has heard about it. Either way, the agarthans won't have too much information about him so Nereus doesn't have much to go on. He'll probably know some stuff about that tribe though, I think he likes to stay informed about the other countries.

Yeah, I'm curious about that too xD Gotta write down stuff about him first. And from there I'll figure out what his approach is going to be
Yeah, that makes sense. Schuyler might know about it too since the knight's probably discuss the events of the previous years sometimes but like you said, it was a Black Eagles matter so Keres is more likely to find out about it. And until then Nereus either does some stuff somewhere in Fódlan to gather information about any of the most recent events or he already hangs out in Garreg Mach, posing as some normal vistor or as someone who works there but doesn't have much relevance. Bonus points if he works with horses, he can tease Julius/Akakios about his issues with them

and yea, she reports about it, and thats what gets schuyler to go ask around the knights about it maybe? and gather mroe information there, and then the two work together to help nereus better fit into his new disguise, and maybe he is just raveling around and getting info like you said, as it would also help be able to get more info on the tribe and what not, and he gets called to garreg mach by schuyler/keres and the two debrief him on what they want him to do?

Yeah, that sounds good. They'll send one of the other less relevant spies to go fetch him so they won't make themselves look suspicious once they've worked out their plan so he can pull this off without drawing attention. And sure, I'll just have him travel around before that. By the way, I was thinking some more about the agarthans. While most of them are going to stick with their goals I think there also have been some who sided with the surface dwellers at some point (because Keres and Jason probably won't be the first ones to turn against them). One of them could have shared the agarthans knowledge of Dark Magic with them while another one told them some technology related things. Maybe that's the reason the surface dwellers have enough knowledge to build things like observatories. And the agarthans hate the ones who betrayed them. Nereus is related to one of those traitors (his grandfather Zenon) and some may distrust him because of it. Only saying dark magic may have originated from the agarthans because of the greek letters in the names of the spells and how, in Three Houses, surface dwellers who can use it either work with them (like Hubert) or have been experimented on by them (like Lysithea). And it's different here because many years ago one agarthan defected and over time more and more humans have learned about it, to the point where it's pretty much normal now.

oooo i like that idea!!! will help explain everything for sure! and if nereus doesnt like surface dwellers, maybe he sees his inclusion as a way to get into the good graces of the others?

Yup! Just some random gardener or stable hand bringing some new guy who happens to be in the area. Exchanging news with a friend or relative isn't too uncommon after all.
It's definitely the reason why Akakios absolutely loathes surface dwellers who can use dark magic. And yeah, Nereus despised the surface dwellers and hates his grandfather for turning his back on his own people. He also hates the thought of there being a chance that he may be related to some "crossbreed" as Zenon left the agarthans after having a daughter (Nereus' mother, Zenais) and before getting together with a human woman. So yeah, Zenais totally has a half-sibling that's half-human though she doesn't know them personally. Nereus tries extra hard to gather useful information about important occurrences on the surface and will be ruthless in battle against humans to prove himself. Sure, most trust him but he wants to convince everyone that he's nothing like that traitor Zenon.

They really shouldn't trust any of their workers xD
Oh, that's right I guess. Yeah, he'll definitely hate Jason. And he also has a low opinion of Berenike. Nereus doesn't give a shit about his intentions, especially because it didn't even work out the way Berenike hoped it would.
Here's what I have so far (may add a bit to Personality and still have to fill out Interests, History and Other)
Nereus | 21 | Male | House | Mortal Savant | No Crest | Nereus is about average height and has short black hair with some silver streaks. He has sectoral heterochromia, both eyes being mainly green but with small areas of blue. | Nereus is mostly serious and likes to only focus on his task, not liking to waste time on trivial stuff. He gets very defensive whenever the topic of agarthans accidentally getting attached to humans comes up, even when there is no mention of his grandfather or any indication that it's about him. While he knows that most people trust him he constantly feels the need to prove his loyalty and tends to interpret any negative reaction to him as them judging him for being related to Zenon. Nereus does have a more friendly side though which he only gets to show around people he trusts to not judge him, being surprisingly kind to them but he's also not above teasing them. He especially has a soft spot for the younger ones and shares their excitement about any missions on the surface. | Interests | Nereus likes to travel around, both because he can gather useful information and because he enjoys living on the surface. He also enjoys any kind of training, especially if he can act as a mentor to the younger and less experienced agarthans. It's always fun to him to accompany someone on their first mission as he loves to see their reaction to the outside world. | Nereus despises anyone who, accidentally or intentionally, shares knowledge and secrets with surface dwellers. He hates humans in general and is disgusted by those who grow attached to them. It's also best to not bring up his grandfather in his presence.| His father's name is Theron and his mother is Zenais. While Nereus doesn't know him personally he has heard a lot about his grandfather, the infamous Zenon who had betrayed the agarthans to be with a surface dweller. | History | Other | Pineclaw |
And yeah, he formally met Akakios when the latter had to visit the surface for the first time and, having already been there a few times before, Nereus acted like some sort of mentor to the kid. He also watched his training and over time the two became inseparable, especially once Akakios' parents got more and more busy.

Yup, everyone just hates that guy. Akakios may admit that it was a good idea in theory but at the same time he thinks Berenike is an idiot for actually thinking it would work. And Nereus just hates him for creating that human spawn Jason xD
Hm. While we technically won't need it, as it would be more difficult for our agarthans to find out that kind of stuff, I'm also not opposed to it, just to learn more about Yorath. Your choice though ^^ And I guess I also have to figure out some more stuff, namely Nereus' personal skill and what spells he can use.
Hehehe... it's only fair, Akakios torments his "classmates", especially Searc and Neason, so I think he kinda deserves this xD But yeah, damn shame ^^

Yeah, I always have to think of that too when writing my replies. Take your time ^^ As for my bandit basher replies, I'll get them up once Spark has posted theirs.
The best part is that Nereus would probably get along with Jason if he were fully agarthan. Maybe would still be a bit impatient with him but he wouldn't be malicious.
Yup! And while some things could be excused with it having been a few years (and being held captive by an insane cult) not everything could be explained away by it. But at least Nereus knows that he shouldn't hurt or eat birds xD

Quick question. You said that Orryn once was suspected of being behind Yorath's disappearance and even after being found innocent the rest of his house still was suspicious of him, right? It's been years since that and I guess none of his old classmates works at the monastery but do you think there are still some rumors about Orryn being somehow involved with the yearly disappearance of foreign students?

That is a very good question, and I would believe there would be, and could help give more suspects for our occult club crew to look into, and maybe even people have suspicions on how orryn became a professor maybe 🤔

Oh, suspects for the Occult Club to look into sounds great! They'll already be more suspicious of some church members and others who work there after the Verdant Rain Moon mission (since come of the racist cult members were also high ranked church members) so having one more suspect sounds fun. I guess they'd rather not suspect one of their professors but it'd be still something worth looking into. As for everyone else, maybe Ambrose could "accidentally" make some remarks. Nothing super direct like "man, that one's sure suspicious", rather the opposite. By questioning if people aren't too quick to suspect Orryn of anything he'd get more people to openly talk about it. I mean, we can't have Akakios be the only one who tries to make others look suspicious, Schuyler wouldn't be too happy about it xD Besides, that way we'd have one suspect from each group. Tahvo for the Deer, Lara for the Lions, Yutaka for the the church (he doesn't really work for them but he does have their permission to sell his stuff on their marketplace) and now Orryn for the Eagles. And while their classmates and friends (or loyal customers for Yutaka) will still trust them there'll be plenty of church members and knights who will go out of their way to show their distrust.
Also, depending on when some knights, church members or others people start talking shit about Orryn we'd also have his students defending him. Philomel and Konstantin will stick up for him too, I think. And at some point (starting between Garland Moon and Blue Sea Moon) Néo will also show his support. Well, in his own special way. At first laughing at anyone who thinks that Orryn could do anything bad ("Yeah, right. Like that old snooze could ever come up with something like that. He can't plan anything, even a healthy sleeping schedule is too complicated for him." And after the events of the Verdant Rain Moon he'd even actively beat the crap out of anyone who still suspects Orryn.

Very true!! And Schuyler would be like "orryn is sus right? I mean foreigners that go around him suddenly disappear?? I can't be the only one seeing this right?"
And aww, glad we got people to defend him, cause Orryn would not help his case with him being nonconfrontational he just wouldn't try defend himself to avoid arguments
And XD neos reasoning killed me, cause accurate Orryn can't plan for shit, let alone a sleep schedule, his sleep schedule is basically when ever he passes out from exhaustion

Haha, yeah! Just like Akakios will make the other three look bad, simply by pointing out that neither of them has been captured by the cult, that even when the students and knights confronted said cult those guys still had no interest in grabbing those three and that two of them arrived almost a whole month late. He'll mostly do this as Amatus and Farvald but even as Julius he'll try to make Tahvo look dangerous. Simply by asking him about the whole "trying to look incompetent" thing shortly before the Guardian Moon mission. And those who overheard that conversation (some racist knights or church members) will definitely draw the wrong conclusion from that, being all like "So one of the students dies not long after asking his classmate why he's trying to fool everyone. I can't be the only one who sees the connection, right?"
Man, one of the times when he should defend himself and he's still trying to avoid arguments. Even Callan is better than that. Okay, only because in situations like that he just blurts out with whatever he's thinking and after he's said his piece he'll avoid whoever he's been arguing with out of fear but still xD But yeah, good thing Orryn has people who'll stick up for him. Some students may make fun of him and don't take him too seriously but they won't tolerate this slander. Everyone who suspects him is banned from wherever the Eagles spend most of their time! Their classroom, of course, and the Training Grounds whenever they're using them! And the Dining Hall when two or more Eagles share a meal!
Well, can't expect Néo to actually say something nice to defend Orryn, people might think he's starting to like some of the humans here xD And yeah, Orryn's sleep schedule (or lack thereof) is a mess. Oh well, his students will just have to get used to this, just as they'll have to accept his hypocrisy whenever he sends them off to their room if they're tired. And don't say anything about him sleeping on the battlefield xD Néo will claim he hears his snoring all the way from wherever he is (Does Orryn even snore? Oh well, Néo doesn't care, he'll joke about it anyway).
