Who would have the worst death?

Oh boy, I think it’s a tie between these guys

Ratbirch: paralyzed and drowned over and over by his brother

Fennelbur: flesh-eating disease

Doverose: mange (but was happy in the end)

Nettledeer: suffocation from a lack of oxygen while deep underground

Sparrowfall: ripped in half by dogs

Blackdawn: tortured over several days

Alderstar: crushed to death, dying nine times over (assuming he didn’t lose a life before)

Berrygaze: claws, teeth, and ears ripped out

there’s a lot of horrible deaths….

[aroacettorney]

for a character with a reputation of being extremely rational and logical, many of ludger's actions are actually quite emotionally motivated. even when he stays oblivious to his true emotions, there are still many instances where we can see how they unknowingly manifest in his actions and subtly influence his biases. i think ludger's second most toxic trait is that he tends to subconsciously cook up a seemly logical reason to spontaneously cover up his emotional ass because he cannot admit to himself that he feels emotions intensely.

exhibit A: his vengeance for arte's death required him to admit that he had a strong attachment to the kid, so he stated that eliminating the evil and offering solace to the victims were the actual reasons. counter: there were many better ways to deal with delica's incidents if his goal was simply enacting justice. even hans realised that this was a weak excuse to conceal his regrets.

exhibit B: his mercy towards aiden required him to admit his unwillingness to eliminate him, so he covered it up by reasoning that it would be too risky to take a student's life. counter: we know very well that he's fully capable of eliminating someone without leaving a trace if he puts his mind to the task.

exhibit C: his sparing casey's life twice required him to admit his disinclination to kill her, so instead, he reasoned that she was more useful alive and that her excessive pride wouldn't let her easily expose him to the public anyway. counter: strategically speaking, turning her against blackdawn was an obvious blunder. he didn't even need her to deal with them. plus, somehow he conveniently forgot at the moment that casey could still have told her best friend, terinna, about his identity regardless of the matter of pride and subjected him to even worse danger.

exhibit D: his taking owens under his wings and founding u.n. owen required him to admit his emotional bonds to them, so he claimed that he needed a strong fortress for his goals and his own protection, especially against the bretus. counter: considering his op-ness, he had never really needed protection. he also mainly tasked owens with leg work while dealing with most of the dangers by himself. he even ended up disbanding them to confront bretus on his own and telling them to prioritize their lives over his goals.

at first glance, his reasoning might seem sound and logical, but if we look at them for more than ten seconds, they are actually quite flimsy and contradictory. this is not to say he's inherently an idiot or a terrible liar. ludger's capability of reasoning is proven comparable to that of casey. he is also an excellent liar when it comes to deliberately lying to someone. but how does one reason or lie about feelings that they themselves are not even aware of?

my hypothesis:

when his suppressed emotions subconsciously influence his biases and/or manifest into his actions, ludger needs to convince himself that he is still being logical, and thus, without even realising it, he tries to rationalize them and grab onto whatever reason that momentarily sounds in his mind: why was he so dedicated to teaching his students? he couldn't get caught half-assing his job, and he wanted to earn the trust of the president. why did he save esmeralda? quasimodo annoyed him, so he had to step in. why did he delay the first princess' orders and prioritize the students' safety during the attacks on the capital? it was the princess' trusted blade himself who suggested saving the students, and not him. why did he accept casey's companionship during his moriarty's era? it was an act, and he was simply getting into his character.

whether ludger wants to admit it or not, he has always been a person moving according to his emotions. and the actual reason why we see so many inconsistencies and hypocrisies in his actions when aligning all of them together with his own logic is that his reasonings are only flimsy excuses that his subconsciousness makes up on the fly to rationalize away his repressed emotions, i.e. his strong attachments to this world.

Character Details

Name: Daemon Phyonix

Age: 17

Fighting Style: BlackDawn, Dark Arts

Powers/Elements: God of Knowledge, Primordial Flame and Frost, Lightning, and Darkness

Origin: BlackDawn City

Titles:

God-Slayer / Apprentice of The Blackened One / Phoenix / Leader of The New Foundation Syndicate / The Last Assassin / Defier of Death / A Legend of BlackDawn / Little-Hawk

Sagas:

The Legends of Blackdawn / The Revolution / New Hell / The Old God / The Dead Roses / The Ripper

Backstory:

Once a boy with loving parents, Daemon would've lived a life any average boy would. But hunted down like animals, his parents were butchered in front of his once innocent eyes by an infamous group. After surviving that event, he was raised by Rex Exaris, The Blackened One. 

After wasting his childhood life on training to become a blood-thirsty warrior, he joined Rex Exaris in the revolution war of BlackDawn. He gathered allies and aided factions in the city's underworld. And then he finally hunted down the infamous group but went out of hand in the process- he almost summoned his demon side-

(In BlackDawn, think of it as a Primal Instinct that takes over when a battle-hardened warrior is pushed to a corner or over an edge. Their Demon Side gives them strength, speed, agility, and Demonic Instinct to rival against their powerful opponents.)

-After coming to and realizing what terrible feats he's done, he disappeared. Then began 'the Old God' saga, when a new ally joined the rebels to find Daemon and bring him back. He and this new ally, Valdor Colt, had to join forces as new adversaries have shown themselves- and one of them is none other than Daemon himself. He learns that he was chosen as the host of the god of Knowledge, and his mind has two personalities fighting one another to take control- One is himself, and the other is the god.

 After Conquering his inner war and annihilating the new enemy forces, he returned to Rex Exaris, who welcomed him with open arms. 

Then came the saga called the New Foundation Syndicate. This was when the revolution was finally over, Chaos-Walker was finally beaten, and the Corrupted scattered across the city with no backing from their once glorious empire, and when the legends of BlackDawn disappeared without a trace- Even Rex Exaris himself. The young Daemon Phyonix decided to bring together a syndicate that would establish a new foundation for the city and rebuild it.

There's more to this than What I wrote here, so stay tuned.

Back in November I hosted my own readathon!! This was the LDR-athon (or Long Distance Relationship readathon) where we read books based on prompts relating to LDRs.

I had so much fun hosting this readathon, reading one of my favourite books of the year (can you guess which one?), and can't wait to potentially do it again in 2022!

[wills-woodland-warriors]

Ello! First off, thank you SO MUCH for the work on the kits and mates list, it is Such a great help! You somehow seemed to remember more things than I myself have, lol.

I was wondering if you wanted to add Ex-mates as a part? I'm not sure if there's many, just Snakefern-Sparrowfall and Hiverose-Sandfoot, and they were both small flings I think.

Oh! and since I'm already sending you a message, I don't want to send you more, so here's some updates for the list!

--GorseheartXEmberdawn is now GorseheartXEmberdawnXBirchflightXFoxfire

--Blackdawn and Hillminnow are now mates!

--Mousekit and Thistlekit are now Mousehollow and Thistlehollow; Starling, Aspen, Dust, and Buzzard are now Starlingstrike, Aspenlight, Dustsong, and Buzzardblaze

--Turtlekit and Otterkit (or Turtlebreeze and Otterbounce) are kits adopted by Poppyhill.

I think that's it! It's honestly impressive how much you already had though, dude. I was expecting to also add the new stuff like GorseEmber's new litter, but you already had that. I also saw that Claridaekit's suffix is goose and I just love that

thank you! I’ll add them when my wifi fixes itself (gotta love living in the middle of nowhere, a snowstorm hit and our wifis down… again)
