Okay I am laying sick in my bed and hope this is some fun for the OC x OC game (and I hope I got the rules right) 💙

Nina x Cadoc in a bit if a romantic way maybe? I think that would be something very interesting 🤭🤭

Hii lovely Bee! 💖

Firstly I'm so sorry you are sick and I send you all the best wishes to heal asap🤗💖

I def think Nina and Cadoc would make a power couple. They would definetly have chemistry and both very ambitious. Cadoc is def would be Nina 's type. I think they relationship would start in a base of allies, maybe meet by work. But soon would be definitely a passionate relationship. And exclusive cause Nina is not here to play. 😉

Maybe they would fight for time to time but I think they would made up quickly.☺️

First and foremost. Cadoc burns like nobody's business. He either wants to go on an overcast day, or he hides under the umbrella for most of the day. This is his lot in life, and he accepts it.

Barry would put himself in charge of sunscreen for everyone (Alice is used to this, Aalis acts like a toddler who doesnt WANT to, and Cadoc knows he needs it but is annoyed that Barry is more on top of it than he is, he's got it thank you!) and he and Cadoc split doing head counts and making sure food and towels and chairs and everything else a beach trip requires.

Alice takes it upon herself to bring the bluetooth speaker and has a beach playlist queued up and ready to go. She probably splits her time evenly between swimming, playing in the sand, and reading under the umbrella. Aalis likes swimming, and also being a big cat chasing the waves and rolling in the sand with Monday. Barry would enjoy swimming, but would help Alice with her sand castle if she asked. Cadoc will wear sunglasses so it's not obvious he's checking Barry out constantly.

In the end, despite more sunscreen than the other three combined, Cadoc is the only one who gets properly sunburnt. Thank the stars demons heal faster than humans.

Arthur's ugly side makes an appearance. Thank God for Kay and Bedivere to smack some sense into him.

Sadly, this won't the last time it'll be seen within Arthurian Tradition. As Vulgate!Morgause and Tanas' daughter will attest, especially the latter.

Ohhhhh this is so good!! I love the painting style and the reference! Definitely captures how horrified Cadoc was at what he’d done.

ALMOST FORGOT TO POST THIS OMG

Here you go, @olive-branch-official , have a contest entry! I have sobbed over these two, especially while drawing/painting this, and will continue to do so perpetually 👍

(Part 2 out of 4 probably)

If you haven't read the first part, you should probably read part 1 beforehand. The first part also talks a bit about Cadoc's orientation and whereabouts.

4. Mojmír, Moravian vampire that used to be a woodcarver (mid-late Great Moravian empire so like mid/late 9th century)

Mojmír belongs to @havrani-otec by the way!!

Cadoc going by Oleg traveled with Varyags to Moravia (nowadays southeast of Czech Republic). It was supposed to be just one of the stops on their trade route but Cadoc decided that his group should stay there for longer. His reason was a small village where he wanted to stir some conflicts and also a creature he found in the local woods at night. The creature was Mojmír, who used to be human just like the other villagers.

Cadoc's and Mojmír's relationship was full of intense hate-love. They were mostly arguing because of their different worldviews and even their differences as species- Mojmír being once human brought back to life, Cadoc not being human to begin with. Sometimes it seemed like they could sustain something like a relationship but then they'd go back to hating eachother to the bone (but still sleeping in the same bed y'know).

As the Magyars came, Cadoc left Mojmír and they've never seen eachother again.

(Since this part of lore is made through a dialogue, I don't really have much info to tell…yet)

5. Magyar raider István (early 10th century)

Magyars came and Oleg/Cadoc was threatened by the Magyars. As raiders they wanted him dead. Cadoc told them he's not a local (at least he tried to say that) and that he can fight. His ability to fight Cadoc showed almost immediately when he started attacking the villagers that used to be his neighbors. The raiders accepted him as their own and István became his guide. Cadoc manipulated the raiders to be even more violent that before they met him, the only raider that wasn't affected by Cadoc's ideas was István.

István was really nice to him, he tried to teach Cadoc (that used to be called Oleg and was called Oguz by István) some Hungarian phrases. Cadoc found him annoying, he was killing villagers just if he was ordered by the other raiders to do so and not because he indulged in it. You could even call István a peaceful individual that rather wants to take care of horses and he didn't see Cadoc as a raider but only as a foreign visitor. Even though Cadoc didn't like him that much, he still did some acts of service for him and István interpreted that as acts of affection.

One day István started to protest to his fellow raiders that he doesn't want to kill anyone ever again. The wrath-blinded raiders decided to murder him for his disobedience. The night afterwards Cadoc decided to bury István's mutilated body and leave the Magyar raiders for good.

6. Romanian/Bijelo Brdo culture vampire Alin (mid 10th century)

As Cadoc left the Magyars, he travelled alone down south until he reached the south Carpathians. There, in the mountains, in an isolated cottage he found Alin. Cadoc just wanted to find some people but it didn't take long for him to realize that Alin was a vampire. Cadoc introduced himself as Oguz and told Alin that he can help them with tasks around their cottage. Alin knew from their first meeting that Cadoc/ Oguz is not a human.

When Cadoc realized that Alin is a vampire, he thought they'd be just like Mojmír and that he could feel that pure wrath and hatred once again, so he decided to attack Alin at night to test his theory. Unexpectedly for Cadoc, Alin didn't even try to fight back and just told him: “Do what you need to do, I don't deserve to live in the Lord's world anyways”. Alin used to be pagan before turning into a vampire and after the change converted to Christianity. They thought that the Lord gave them the vampiric second life as a second chance to undo their sins and believed that Cadoc had that chance too. Cadoc felt bad for Alin but also felt very “hungry” while looking at them, that actually was just a crush on them. He wanted to taste their blood but then felt bad because of thinking about hurting them because Cadoc saw them as weak. He stuck around Alins's cottage for almost a year, helping them with chores that required Alin being in direct sunlight. Cadoc even told Alin the truth about his name and the fact that he's not Magyar at the slightest.

One evening Cadoc proposed an idea to Alin of him staying there for good to protect them. Alin replied with: “I fear we shouldn't be together, Cadoc. We should rather contemplate our sins of the past separately. Then we can go to the kingdom of God together,” and told Cadoc to leave their home the next day.

Josephine and Tolland: Character Descriptions

Josephine of Tolero

A young Servant of the Stone, born in Calyp, who despite having known much loss in her life, believes in looking on the bright side. Starting off as a timid, mousy girl, unsure of her place in the world, Josephine spends her childhood trying to figure out her Aspect and how it can help others. After witnessing a devastating mold blight, she adopts a pygmy bee from a collapsed hive that comes to symbolize her strongest ideal:

“Don’t stress about what the right thing to do is, think about what would happen if you do nothing at all.”

She becomes a promising young Servant, but still finds herself longing for the warmth and familiarity of family that she hasn’t known since she was a child. Now a teen, one of her oldest friends, Cadoc, has asked her to marry him once he becomes a master of his field. She agrees, but while he finishes his apprenticeship she chooses to seek out her estranged mother so that she can attend her and Cadoc’s wedding. This leads her to leaving Tolero for the archipelago herself.

Tolland of Uxor

The youngest child of a power-hungry family line of renowned engineers in Kine. As smart as his mother and as ambitious as his father, he had a promising start. But fate isn’t a kind mistress. At the age of ten, he failed his Affixtion exam and proved himself to be the one and only Unaffixed in his family in generations. In an attempt to save face, his parents send him to the archipelago to work for his oldest brother, Shay, who’s become a renowned nexus engineer. He tries to use the opportunity to study nexus engineering, but is repeatedly cowed by his brother who fears Tolland won’t be able to keep up in their cutthroat world if he aims too high. The years of being undermined and dismissed bred a stubborn ideology into him:

“No one has time for useless things, so don’t be one.”

I had to go DIGGING for this, but here, have Cadoc's introduction to the infamous, beloved, adored, dead Dante. This is set some time?? in the 80's? my timeline is. Wonky.

~~~

“Hey!”

Cadoc hunched his shoulders and moved to the side to get out of the person’s way. No one should be that energetic at... he glanced at his watch. One in the afternoon. Still indecent, he decided.

“Hey. Wait.” Someone grabbed his wrist. He flicked a glance down at the hand. Cadoc was pale enough that the man’s brown skin probably looked a few shades darker than it was. He lifted his gaze up to meet the strangers dark gaze.

“What?” 

“Jeeze you’re cold.” The short man was puffing a little. “And fast. You must be half leg at least.” The smile that was offered was blinding. 

“Your point?” Cadoc didn’t have time for this. He pulled his hand from the stranger's grip, finding surprisingly little resistance. 

The young man stared for a moment, before blurting out, “Can I paint you?” Some of Cadoc’s annoyance must have shown, because the stranger was quick to add, “Please? It’s for an art class. I need... I need to do studies of strangers, and... please?”

The guy was cute. Cadoc had to give him that. And he knew how to widen those eyes just right. Combined with the adorable mop of dark curls and soft face, it would have been an effective look on anyone else. 

“No.” Cadoc walked away.

“But!” 

Cadoc kept walking, lengthening his stride rather than deal with the stranger. Any other day and he might have considered it. Aalis took precedence.

Not five minutes later and he felt it again. The feeling of a hand wrapping around his wrist, and the softest of pulls. He snapped his attention to the owner of the hand, resisting the urge to flash his fangs at the human. It was tempting, to see if the young man would jump, perhaps even fall over in his fright, and leave Cadoc free to go on his way unhindered. No doubt it would leave the ridiculous fake mustache the boy was wearing even more skewed than it was now.

“Let go of me,” Cadoc ordered, much more calmly than he felt. The human did, to his surprise, holding his hands up un defeat.

“Please, if you would-”

“No.” Cadoc walked away. He didn't have time for this, no matter how pretty the man’s face was. His reprieve this time was longer, but when the young man showed up this time, it was from the front. He was panting, as if he'd run to pull ahead. He’d tried a mustache, drawn on this time, with a hat pulled down low over his eyes. Less likely to fall off, Cadoc mused, but just as ridiculous as before.

The stranger opened his mouth, but Cadoc beat him to it. “I said no, and no amount of begging or silly costumes will change my mind. Now get out of my way. I have places to be.”

“Please.” The kid took the hat off. “It doesn’t have to be today. You can pick the time.”

Cadoc stared down at the pleading face and bit back a sigh. Did this kid know how devastating those brown eyes were, or was he oblivious to how effective that expression was? “If I say yes, will you let me on my way?”

“If you’d like me to.” A dazzling grin and the slightest of head tilts that sent his dark curls flopping carelessly into the young man’s face were just as effective. Cadoc almost missed the pleased little thank you that followed questioningly.

“Cadoc,” he supplied, stifling another sigh. Perhaps he gave in too easily, but he could only resist a pretty face for so long. 

“Dante,” the young man offered with yet another smile that, at any other time, might have earned him one back. Today, Cadoc merely leveled him a cool look.

“I’ll find you.” Cadoc’s attention was caught by the hellhound heading back in their direction, ears pricked. It’d found something. “Have a good day, Dante.”
