So, there's this character who appears in the first installment of The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. They're a highly skilled fighter who's been training with a sword for as long as they could pick one up. They grew up alongside a remarkably intelligent and talented necromancer, who is a little bit younger than them and bullies them a lot. They dream of building their own life that isn't shaped by their necromancer, who does everything they can to prevent this.

On arriving at Canaan House, they appear to be the perfect cavalier for their House, a purposefully constructed image concealing that things aren't exactly as they appear. They believe themselves to be the main character of the story, but outside observation reveals that this is mostly just the hollow posturing of someone who's never really been in control of their lives, and mostly just succeeds in making them look obnoxious.

After dying and paving the way for their necromancer to ascend to lyctorhood, they continue to haunt the second instalment. Their necromancer performs some extreme form of surgery with the help of their only other peer, and this is supposed to have an effect on their fallen cavalier, but it doesn't entirely work.

Finally, they come back in the third instalment... or, more accurately, their body does, under a different name to the one they were introduced under in book one, but not that different. Even in death, their body is not allowed to simply rest and be spared from necromantic fuckery.

Now, was I talking about Gideon Nav in this post, or Naberius Tern?

Everyone is so confused by they/them until you do not use they/them, then suddenly it's the only pronouns they understand

why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?

And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.
