Dynasty's Group

Dynasty(Leader)- The younger sister of Drayton and the granddaughter of Drayden, Dynasty tends to be shy around those she doesn't know but can be hyper and smiley around those she is familiar with.

Electia(Vice Leader): One of the first friends Dynasty makes, she's the daughter of Elesa. Electia enjoys taking pictures with her friends and at times is one of the few protective ones of the group and everyone's moral support.

Lena- Daughter of Lenora, she never backs down from a challenge, and enjoys being around her friends and at times battling them if they accept her challenges. She's protective of the others and becomes angry if any of them are in danger.

Ingie and Engie- Sons of the subway twins, Ingo and Emmet, Ingie and Engie get along like them despite Ingie being born blind. Engie is protective of him as he is with everyone else and is the one who taught Ingie how to maneuver around without help.

Colby- Son of Colress, Colby was initially disinterested in his father's work and his business at times caused a rift between them in which Colby would become distant but he feels more courage to talk with his father after meeting his friends and becomes interested in the Shiny Pokemon phenomenon.

Fenrik- Fennel's son, who is very blunt with others including his friends but knows how to crack jokes and smile with them. He is protective of the others and can get snappy when they're insulted, forcing people down onto their knees with insults even if Colby tries to stop him.

Grimor- Son of Grimsley, Grimor tends to be the one who scolds his dad about gambling but is revealed that he, himself, gambles away snacks to others to the point his Scraggy decides to beat him up for gambling his food away.

Shannet- The daughter of Shauntal and is a major bookworm. She's the peacemaker of the group, calming the others if they're mad at each other and breaking up any fights that tend to happen. She enjoys sharing knowledge she finds from books and is stated to be smart with strategies.

Conor- The son of Caitlin and a former major jerk to everyone. He becomes nicer after Dynasty demolishes him in a battle, although still spoiled and mean at times yet its toned down. He cares greatly about the others and tends to still be smug about his Pokémon powers and abilities.

Beth- Burgh's daughter and the shy one of the group. She's jumpy and easily startled, leaping behind some of the tall members in their group and peeking out. She's a talented wood carver and tends to make carvings of her Pokémon or friends but is too embarrassed to show them to anyone including her father.

Sylus- The son of Steven Stone and the lone wolf of the group. He's cold and indifferent to others when he's not close to them and is still the same even when those who manage to befriend him get close. He dislikes his father for an unknown reason that caused a rift between them and prefers to hang out with his friends even when Steven invites him for some time together.

Kieran(Former Member)- Kieran was a former member of the group, having split apart from them after returning from Kitakami. He was close with Dynasty and Beth but instantly became fairly distant and slightly colder towards them.

Vennia and Vennis- Volkner's twins that traveled, like Sylus, to attend BB Academy. Vennia is the more hyper twin with Vennis being calmer and stoic but both are dangerous in a battle either together or apart. They're close with Dynasty since they share the Black Mareep title in their families.

14. Part

I didn’t want to post this until I had edited it and spent some time mulling it over. 5.3 was not kind to Nive, and working through her emotions left me exhausted. I cried at least twice writing this :/ Damn emotionally constipated cat, making me feel things for her. I abused some italics in here, be kind to them. 

Y’all, her hat came off. That’s how bad this is.

---

The sound of laughter grated at her ears, tucked away as they were underneath her hat. She winced as yet another happy giggle bounced around the Rising Stones. Her quill snapped under her hand, spraying ink everywhere, and making her curse. Just great, aetheric ink everywhere, and all over her hands, smearing over her notes… 

Nive snapped the book shut with a growl, grabbing the quill and crushing it in frustration, while grabbing one of her rags to clean up the mess. Her carbuncle yipped at her and ran to grab another rag, holding it in their mouth until she grabbed it. Their tail waved uncertainly, sensing her mood, and it set the rag down and pawed at it to try and help mop up some of the ink. Nive gave the carbuncle a smile, patting their head, only to cringe when another peal of laughter echoed across the room. Gods, could they not see that some people were trying to work—

Fine. She’d go up to the ramparts above the Toll, surely there’d be some quiet there. She grabbed her grimoire and her journal, her pack, her bottle of ink, and started to march out of the Rising Stones. 

“Nive?” Shining asked, looking up at her from where she was sitting with the Exarch—G’raha. The seeker man was laughing still at Shining’s joke, trying to get himself under control. Shi frowned just a little, moving as if to get up out of her chair. “Nive, are you alright?” 

“I’m fine.” Nive snapped, and waved a hand. “Don’t get up on my account, I’m just going out.” 

Her carbuncle chimed worriedly, twining between her legs. Shi got up anyways and came over, and G’raha was at her side… Nive did not look at him. She didn’t. 

“Nive, you’ve been quiet ever since we came back home—“ 

“I said I’m fine.” Nive snapped again, and ducked away from Shining’s hand. “Just. Spend time with your friend. It’s fine.” 

She spun on her heel and marched up out of the Rising Stones, heedless of the expressions on Shining and G’raha’s faces. Better to leave them to be happy together instead of tending to her own tumultuous heart. She didn’t want to deal with them, she couldn’t. 

And just her luck to run into Helisent and Arbert, coming back with a box of food from the Seventh Heaven, talking and laughing with each other. The two were chatting about something or other, their eyes only on each other. They almost ran into her, Arbert barely managing to stop the box from crashing into her. 

“Oh, sorry, Nive, I didn’t see you--” He said, scrambling to grab the box of food so none of it would spill, and seemingly instinctively leaning on Hel for support. 

“Hey, Nive?” Hel asked, leaning down to look at her. “Are you --” 

“I’m fine. I told Shi the same thing, I’m fine.” Nive snapped, her tail bristling in irritation. “Nothing’s wrong, I just want some fresh air.” 

“You sure?” Arbert asked, his brows furrowing in worry. “You don’t really look--”

“What do you know?” Nive demanded, baring her teeth in an instinctual hiss. Arbert stepped back in shock, almost dropping the box and going pale. 

Shit. Shit, she had to leave. 

“Nive!” Hel shouted after her, sounding confused and upset. Nive didn’t look back at her, she just ran. Out through the Toll, into the Silvertear shore, dodging whatever nasty beastkin tried to look her way. She didn’t even know where she was going, but it just had to be away from there. 

She ran until she couldn’t anymore, panting and wheezing and doubled over, trying to scrape herself back together. She was trying so hard not to be angry, to be jealous, to be distraught and felt like she had been left by the wayside after her sisters found the people they loved. Shining deserved to have her friend back, to have something go right in her life! Nive knew that! And Helisent had pleaded to the Mother and sundered herself again, just so she could have Arbert back! But--but--

With a yell of rage, Nive threw down her grimore and her pack at the shore of the Lake, the books bouncing off the crystal and flying into the underbrush. She kicked the rocks out into the lake with force, yelling again, just to let it out. She dragged her claws through her hair, ripping off her hat and throwing it away. Her carbuncle yipped in fright, stepping back away from her, their tail waving in uncertainty. 

She jumped slightly, looking down at her carbuncle, and all her anger just drained away, falling off of her like water. She sunk down to the ground, feeling the tears start to well up, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop them from falling. They came thick and hot, clawing their way up her throat and wracking her chest with sobs, till she could barely breathe. She pulled her knees up to her chest, tucking herself close, and wrapped her tail around her feet, feeling her whole body shake with the sobs. 

Her carbuncle yipped softly, lifting up on their hind legs to paw at her knees. When she didn’t respond, they ran back to get her hat, holding it in their mouth to offer it to her. Nive could barely see the bright emerald creature through her tears, but the gentle, unassuming presence helped just a little. She pulled the carbuncle into her lap and sobbed into the soft fur, while they gave a small rumbling chime that sounded almost like a purr, trying to comfort her in any way they could. 

It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair. 

After everything, after Emet-Selch, the Light, Elidibus, everything, and she felt like an outsider. Like her sisters had changed, and she couldn’t keep up. They got everything they wanted, they were happy. So why… why wasn’t she? Why did she feel as though her heart was clenching painfully in her chest, why did she exist on a wire’s edge of anger and a soul deep hurt?

She barely knew them, but part of her had, once. A half forgotten dream, an aching memory of a lost life, resting on the edges of her mind. Torturous in its elusive lure, scraping at the part of her that desperately needed to know, to understand. Hythlodaeus’ words, the gift of the stone, and it was more like a curse and a damnation.

She remembered his final words. Their final words. A promise to remember, a mournful longing for a new day. Why did it hurt so much, why did she feel as though a part of herself had died with them? 

Remember us, he had said. Asked. Pleaded. Remember that we once lived. Shining and Helisent thought he had been asking them to remember the Ancients, to remember their civilization and their struggle, their suffering, and a hope for the better tomorrow. But Nive knew differently. She had met his eyes squarely, and saw it.

He asked her to remember them. Himself, and his friend, the person that she used to be. The part of her that would never come back. He asked her to remember their new friendship, budding and strange as it might’ve been, across their journey in the First. He had asked her to remember the bond they held, once upon a time. 

A tiny yellow glowing stone, etched with a circle, and it destroyed her, and left her with more questions than answers. A name, Azem, and it sounded foreign but correct, a moniker that she once had. And a desperate spell, clutching the stone to her breast and wishing with all her might. He had saved her, somehow, pulling them out of the Rift. She still didn’t know if it was actually him, or just her desperate need for salvation manifesting in a form she thought could save her. But her heart ached when he had pulled them out, and set them all down… What could it possibly be but love? 

No one else knew. How could such a simple promise tear her apart from herself, and separate her so completely from them? 

So she cried.

 Meet Aventus Silverwing, trying to currently find where I put Justinian.   Favorite Food: Angel Hair Spaghetti Favorite Drink: Water, boy tends to like plain tastes. Favorite Flower: Mint (Yes they have flowers, often they are tiny and white) 

Description: No, his arm isn’t off color, like Lucio, he lost his arm. From the elbow down. In a magical accident/fight. Irony is the person he was trying to help left him for dead. Thus adds to his already bitter mood about having lost apart of himself. While Asra helped him, Ven here never got over his fear of fighting. He used to be very fiery. Now, he’s afraid to take up fights, and suffers from a mild form of PTSD when backed into a corner and forced to fight. Shaking, something panic attacks, and often blacking out all together.  He made the arm himself, infused with his own magic, that strangely glows green when he uses it. It makes the metal he used stronger, and able to channel magic to allow some feeling through it. Just, it’s different than skin, he can’t feel warmth, just senses. Like he knows your skin is smooth, but not how warm it is. He’s always adding things to it, the inside is infused with runes to allow it to be water proof, cold proof, and tolerant to most heat.  Ven here likes to mess with things, inventing new spells, rituals, inventions, or potions. He has alot of free time when Asra is away, and tries to fill the boredom with small things. He also tends to be very bitter to how much Asra leaves him alone, how much his mentor keeps from him. Tends to get very angry when Asra leaves without a word of how long he’ll be gone, where the fucking hell he’s going, or even when he’s leaving. Things Ven would like to know so he’s not worrying about his friend... or feeling like he’s being left again. 

Background: Boy this is along one, but Aventus was born to a very well off noble family. The Silverwings were known to produce magically powerful kids once every few hundred years or less. Venny here was born under the star sign of The Fool, and claimed under the Major Arcana’s domain before he was even out of the womb. He was powerful in magic, not as much after being in the Fools body after dying, but noticeable by his family. He was ten. However, rather than being happy, his Mother saw this as a chance to get back into high social standing. Her sister and her had some magic, so she knew Ven would need a teacher. She sought to teach him through family books, grimores, and other things.  His father, on the other hand, sneered at the thought of a magician in a long standing family, on his side, or males being soldiers. Ven’s older brothers were all a solider or warrior of some kind. So magic be damned, and traditions be damned, he was going to train his son to fight like a ‘real man’. 

This caused a heavy rift in the family, his mom and dad fought, and Ven’s Father god mad enough. Stating he only really married his Mother for the family name that came with it. And never signed up for some ‘hocus pocus’. This caused his mom to turn to alcohol to cope, moving back into her family home.  Ven was peddled between two people, spending one month with his dad, the other with his mom. Both had big expectations for him, both wanted him to marry certain people, both wanted him to get a certain job. For the good of the ‘Family Name’ they told him.

Finally having enough after five years, he ran away to his Aunt’s shop. After telling her what his life has been like, and learning just why his Mother never wanted him to talk to her sister, his Aunt Liz let Ven stay with her. On the condition he help at the shop and learn to control his magic. She had enough books from her childhood, and would help him.  Though he finally had a good role model in his life, and came to see Auntie Liz as a real mother, the damage was done on his mental health.  Having trouble making choices on his own. Tends to like being in a bubble. Likes to be told what to do. You get the idea, he preferred to be controlled, and Liz wasn’t around long enough to really help him through it. Having to run a shop, get anything she needed, and then dying five years later, didn’t help.

After about a year went by, and a messy break off from his parents, ending in them both cutting all ties to him. Both in inheritance, well, not on his Mother’s side, as only a magical person of blood could inheritance everything. She could do nothing about that, but could cut him off from money and social standing. And ending in his brother hating him, Ven later met Asra. Who took up slowly to being his mentor in magic, as he new much more than Auntie Liz did.  Then the plague hit a few years later, Ven considers it lucky his Auntie died of natural causes four years after he met Asra. 

He had no ties to stay to the city, he’s unsure why he stayed to help everyone when Asra wanted to leave. His brothers died, his parents he thinks lived, he’s not sure. Then we all know what happened to him... Brought back with no memories, he slowly regained his sense to fight and use magic. He was happier than Asra ever saw him, with no trauma of his past, he was freeier. Granted he still had problems with being controlled, but they weren’t near as bad as before. Then, the worse happened, he lost his arm in a fight to help a friend. Who left him to die. Asra found him, and he about died again. Now, he’s closed off to alot of people again, cynical, and refuses to fight due to how much stress it now causes him. 

Aventus has a long way to go if he is to recover, which is why I pair him with Muriel, Portia, or Lucio, as all three have qualities that would help him come out of his shell again, he pick him up when he does remember his past. 

So what do you guys think? Any questions about him, don’t be afraid to ask. I’ll post Justinian later on.

@sam-wayward-winchester

Sam had just been practicing his spells in the lower levels of the bunker, he was messing around with something he shouldn't have, something he realized after he did what he did. A small rift had opened and on the floor in front of him was a younger version of himself. Sam stared with wide eyes before he let out a loud curse, slamming the grimore shut.

"This is bad..."

You’re… Me?
