Noble OCs - Pyradros

More OCs from one of my four original noble clans, the Pyradros! They are the Clan of the Sun and Fire and their current Clan Leader is Leona Pyradros, whose heir is her son Rufus Pyradros. Their clan’s soul weapon is flail Soleil.

For complete info please check out the link below:

(Just a quick note, everyone is a noble here. There are no hybrids. In my headcanons “pureblood” and “non-pureblood” are just terms that nobles use with each other to broadly describe how affiliated someone is with their own clan. And I say “broadly” because there is much more to it and I think it deserves a post of its own. For now “pureblood” can be seen as a “strong enough and qualified to inherit the clan’s soul weapon and become Clan Leader” and “non-pureblood” as “an ordinary clan member” kind of thing. And being either has little to do with lineage and more of just the individual itself. Again, definitely posting more on that in the future)

Straight to the characters.

Ignatius Pyradros: Non-pureblood. Husband of Noel J. Loyard, father of Seira J. Loyard. Entered forced eternal sleep, belonged to the Previous Lord’s generation.

Ignatius was a calm, caring, and reflective man. He also had a silly and almost childlike side to him, though it only comes out when he’s around people he trusts. He used to be quite talkative and social during his childhood, but he gradually grew to avoid people starting in his late teenage years because they didn’t exactly reciprocate the friendship and the sentiment was more single-sided. While Ignatius fully understood that they didn’t owe him anything, he was hurt by the lack of reciprocation because he was the type of person who ends up loving almost everyone he meets, and he naturally gravitated towards giving pieces of his heart out even when it’s probably better if he didn’t. Ignatius had a bit of a people-pleaser side to him too. The more decent nobles just told him they couldn’t be friends with him, and the malicious ones kept him by their side to extort gifts and favors from him. By the time Ignatius came of age, he had become fairly reclusive and avoided most of society because he knew he would just keep getting his heart broken.

Ignatius eventually found a true friend in Noel J. Loyard, whom he later had their daughter Seira J. Loyard with. Their initial encounter was on a snowy hilltop, where Ignatius happened to be on one of his walks. There he saw a beautiful silver-haired man quietly making ice sculptures by himself. It was love at first sight for Ignatius, and he can’t recall much of what happened immediately after but they ended up sitting face to face with Ignatius holding Noel’s hands in his own while he passionately confessed his love. It took a moment before Ignatius finally realized what he had done. He let go of Noel’s hands and apologized profusely. Noel did look a bit confused, after all. Ignatius expected Noel react very negatively, like anyone would to an intense confession out of the blue and from a total stranger nonetheless, but to his surprise, Noel just smiled. A smile radiating so much warmth as if it could melt all the snow around them. Noel picked up Ignatius’ hands gently and said “The winter breeze sings a melody as the snowflakes waltz in the sky. Anyone will fall in love in such a dazzling wonderland.” Ignatius sobbed as Noel stroked him on the shoulders, and they spent the rest of the day sitting in the snow together.

They start to meet each other everyday. Noel would get there early and wait for Ignatius on the same hilltop where they first met, and the latter would always bring a sunflower with him. Sometimes, Noel would show him how to make ice sculptures. Then Ignatius would use the flame-like aura on his fingertips to melt the snow on the branches of the tree above them, and they would watch it freeze into icicles that gleamed like jewelry under the sun. Soon their friendship blossomed into love with Noel genuinely reciprocating Ignatius’ feelings. They shared their very first kiss on a snowy day.

Noel and Ignatius married each other and had their daughter Seira sometime later. Unfortunately for them, their happiness came to an abrupt end when Ignatius got assassinated, presumably by the same people who killed Noel later.

Before Ignatius died, his hobby was making intricate music boxes. His latest unfinished work is a silver and white music box with a tiny sculpture that sits atop the center, which rotates as the music plays. The sculpture depicts him and Noel holding little Seira’s hands as they’re all running in the snow.

Ignatius’ last words were “Farewell, my love and my little Snowdrop.”

Yamuna Pyradros: Non-pureblood. Not-so-distant relatives with Edian Drosia. Alive in the present day, belongs to Raskreia’s generation.

Yamuna is passionate, loyal, and responsible. She has been a super big fan of her Clan Leader Leona Pyradros since the moment she was born, and growing up she always told her parents that her dream is to become Leona’s secretary. She’ll stand next to Leona all day and attend to every single one of her needs! Yamuna is confident that there is no one who loves their Clan Leader more than her, and she’s the best candidate for the job. They better not try to compete with her, because she’ll definitely end up getting the job anyway, and they can be sure that she’ll damn near strangle them if they try to take that away from her. Just kidding, Yamuna won’t do that. She’s actually a super nice person. She still might say that to scare off her competitors, though. Yamuna eventually does get her dream come true and currently follows Leona around as her primary assistant. She worked her ass off for it, she earned it, everyone else can be jealous. Yamuna even gets sad when she has her days off because that means she won’t get to be close to Leona anymore. When she’s working, she’s the happiest. Leona adores Yamuna as well, and calls her “lion cub” affectionately.

Yamuna has an excellent memory. She knows all of Leona’s likes and dislikes, habits, and schedules by heart. This includes the smallest of details that not even Leona’s closest family members are necessarily aware of. In a non-invasive way, of course, because she respects her Clan Leader’s personal space. People even suspect that Leona lets Yamuna read her mind because the latter always knows what the former wants in an almost telepathic manner. Some of Yamuna’s peers have called her disrespectful because how can she ask her Clan Leader to let her into her mind? Yamuna just sticks her tongue out at them and tells them “winner’s intuition” and waves them goodbye.

In her free time, Yamuna likes to sing. She’s a terrible singer and never sings on key, but that won’t stop her from enjoying herself. Leona and her family came back to Lukedonia from the modern world, so they know a lot about all that cool stuff the humans have. One of the trendy things Leona brought back with her is a whopping karaoke machine, because her son Rufus didn’t want to part with it. Rufus got bored of it one day and it’s been sitting in the storage room ever since. Leona wanted to reward her workaholic assistant with something fun to thank her for her dedication, so she asked Yamuna if she wants it. Yamuna squealed and jumped for joy and did somersaults across the room on the spot. Well, Leona can just give her anything, like a rusty old pin or some bottlecap, and she will brag about it all day all week and turn that into an heirloom. Yamuna’s just sunshine and pure happiness jam-packed into a sweet girl.

Yamuna is so focused on her job that she hasn’t even thought about dating yet. She does have a lot of admirers, though she hasn’t realized yet.

Filomena Pyradros: Pureblood. Twin of Betelgeuse Pyradros, and cousin of Leona Pyradros. Alive in the present day, belongs to the Previous Lord’s generation.

Filomena is very much like Leona in terms of personality. She is bright and bubbly and radiates an irresistible charm to everyone around her. People think Leona is her twin instead of her actual twin Betelgeuse because he’s too gloomy, openly sarcastic, and forever tired. Filomena just shrugs and tells people “Well guess I sucked all the energy out of him when we were still soul fragments and he had none left. Hah!” To which she and Leona would laugh while her twin on the side gives a thumbs up and nods twice with a deadpan expression.

Like Leona, Filomena is highly selective despite being an extrovert. Except Leona will pretend to be warm and engage in small talk anyway, while Filomena just tells them to scram. And they’d run away quickly, because Filomena’s fiery aura is very intimidating. She often releases her aura and lets it flow on full force when she wants to “clear” her surroundings. It’s pretty amusing to watch them get up and run away. Leona again is just laughing and wheezing at how funny it is while Betelgeuse is nodding and clapping. Filomena doesn’t like to waste time on people who aren’t important to her and will get annoyed when she’s stuck in a social situation she didn’t call for. She would give Betelgeuse the cue and he would cause a scene, then she’d have an excuse to leave early because clearly her twin needs some help. The twins are very well coordinated and they can make their little skits look quite convincing. With friends, Filomena is very patient. People always wonder how she and her friends even got together in the first place because she doesn’t seem to let anyone new into her circle these days. In reality, she doesn’t mind new friends, but she just doesn’t like the hassle that comes with process of going from strangers to friends. For this reason, she tends to get along with people who are straightforward instead of those who play with their words.

Filomena likes to fight. Her weapon of choice is a flail with three striking heads. Aside from sparring with her cousin, she trains members of their clan. Leona would enjoy training her fellow Pyradros too, but she is often busy with Clan Leader duties so Filomena does it for her. Filomena is very committed to her role as a mentor and gives one-on-one lessons to her clan members. She is very proud of their progress and encourages them to officially challenge her to a duel whenever they become ready, even if it will probably take a long time for them to reach her level.

Filomena loves being under the sun. She hates cloudy and rainy days, and would complain about how she just wants to use her noble powers to clear the skies, but doesn’t do it because her twin Betelgeuse likes it when it’s dark, cold, and wet. She jokes about how he’s probably part of a “mold clan” or something instead of the sun clan. Like how cousin Leona is protective of her husband Zephyrus, Filomena is very protective of Betelgeuse. She will swing her flail at anyone who tries to make fun of him and you can be damn sure they’ll end up with bloody holes on their bodies if they cross the line.

Filomena likes to grow sunflowers as a hobby. To be precise, she enjoys breeding aggressive, carnivorous sunflowers that will lunge and bite at anything and anyone if their master tells them to. They only recognize Pyradros clan members as their own and will attack everyone else. Filomena doesn’t even need guard dogs, she has her guard sunflowers which she plants in front of her home. She has a list of unwanted guests and she tells them who to chase away. Once she forgot to tell her sunflowers that her cousin’s husband Zephyrus is welcome, and they bit off his cloak and robe and he ran away crying while being butt naked. Oops. She’ll remember next time.

Filomena’s partner is an unnamed Ceresthalassa.

Tabitha Pyradros: Non-pureblood. Ex-lover of Krasis Blerster and Ragar Kertia and more. Alive in the present day, belongs to Gejutel’s generation.

Tabitha is sophisticated and skillful. She doesn’t talk much and her eyes are always focused. Both of her parents made weapons, and she continued with the tradition. Tabitha is the equivalent of the Pyradros Clan’s blacksmith. While most members of other noble clans prefer swords and spears as their weapons of choice, the Pyradros like to use flails. Soleil, Leona’s soul weapon, is the sun they all admire. Every flail owned by members of the Pyradros Clan is modeled from Soleil, and Tabitha is the one who makes them. She takes great pride in her work and meticulously checks each and every weapon she makes before they leave her workshop.

Tabitha’s dedication to her work is extraordinary. She customizes weapons according to their intended wielders, where she has her fellow clan members come to her workshop and she assesses what kind of flail suits them the best. She takes into consideration their fighting style, physique, and general habits, so her creations vary. Different handle and chain link lengths, and different striking head sizes and numbers etc. The possible combinations are endless. And Tabitha’s fellow Pyradros are always amazed by how she can tell what’s the best fit for someone just by looking at them. She doesn’t even need to see them do a fighting demonstration. And when they ask her? She winks and smiles and tells them it’s a “trade secret”. That’s a word she learned from their Clan Leader Leona, whom she admires very much. Leona knows a bunch of other strange words too and Tabitha is trying really hard to learn all of them. She even has a little notebook with the slang Leona uses and attempts to memorize them during her breaks. The workshop’s guests think the notebook holds Tabitha’s secret recipe to making excellent weapons, but no it’s just her prized glossary of coolness.

Tabitha enjoys making colorful alcoholic drinks in her free time. If Lukedonia has the equivalent of a bar, she’d be a hobbyist bartender. Except she does it in a small space next to her workshop and the venue attracts all sorts of visitors. They don’t have to pay her, all they have to do is tell her an interesting story. It could be something they did during their day, an event from the past, some gossip, kids doing stupid things… anything is welcome. Some people say they’ve even seen Krasis Blerster and Ragar Kertia going there and talking about their kids’ problems and Tabitha is just smiling and listening to their shenanigans.

Tabitha is currently single, and looks forward to dating someone interesting.

Betelgeuse Pyradros: Pureblood. Twin of Filomena Pyradros, and cousin of Leona Pyradros. Alive in the present day, belongs to the Previous Lord’s generation.

Betelgeuse is the opposite of his twin sister Filomena. If she’s sunny, he’s gloomy. She smiles, he frowns. She walks upright, he walks while slouching. She opens all the curtains, he likes his blocking out all the light. Curiously, they never argued with each other growing up. Filomena calls her little brother “Moldy” as a joke nickname, and he’s actually quite fond of it. He calls her “Sunburn” in return. Betelgeuse relies on his sister a lot, especially when he needs to communicate himself. He doesn’t seem to open his mouth or move his lips at all when he’s talking and it’s almost like he’s mumbling. Filomena is responsible for “translating” the inaudible sounds when people don’t understand the words coming out of his mouth. The only time he puts effort into articulating his sentences is when he has something sarcastic to say. Some people think it’s funny. Others not so much. Betelgeuse doesn’t like the term pessimist. He’s not a pessimist, he’s a realist, thank you very much. Betelgeuse also looks like he’s perpetually pissed, but no, that’s just how he looks when his face is relaxed. If they don’t like it then too bad he can’t get a new one.

Betelgeuse is close to cousin Leona as well. He doesn’t show it, but he likes to update himself on the latest gossip just as much as her. Unlike Filomena who doesn’t like to waste time on small talk, Betelgeuse doesn’t mind because he might get something juicy out of it. If he can keep a conversation going, of course, because hopefully the other person can understand his less than articulate sentences. Betelgeuse and Leona share gossip as a cousin bonding activity. Leona brings him bubble tea when they meet because he likes those, and he always asks about those “human drinks”. He likes to play with his bubble tea and enjoys watching the boba pearls go up and down the straw before he finally drinks it properly.

Betelgeuse can fight just as well as his twin, but he doesn’t enjoy it too much. He prefers to watch her fight, though sometimes he’d come and help her coach the newbies when she’s on the training grounds with their clan members. That only happens when the sky is cloudy because he doesn’t like how bright it is otherwise.

Betelgeuse gets along with his cousin’s husband Zephyrus. He’s the one who apologized to him when Filomena’s monster sunflowers attacked him. Betelgeuse walked around butt naked too in support of Zephyrus so the latter doesn’t have to feel too bad about the incident. The two laugh about it every now and then. Leona and Zephyrus’ children Azurine and Rufus also like their chill, gloomy “cousin Moldy”. They think his sarcasm is funny.

Leona’s son and heir Rufus takes after Betelgeuse’s appearance.

Betelgeuse’s partner is an unnamed Landegre.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for future posts!
