#this also made me wonder which god kerra would be blessed by if she had been born human and not sylvari

[kerra-and-company]

I don’t know why this is what my brain decided to think about, but I can’t stop thinking about my characters and the different versions of angry you get with each of them--especially Kerra, Cyp, and Nisha.

Kerra, at her angriest, will show every single bit of it. Whether it’s on the battlefield or in an official chamber of some kind, you’re going to get the bared-teeth-smile Kerra, full of fire with hard violet eyes who will absolutely tear you to shreds--with words or weapons or both. She can be subtle. She’s a diplomat. She’s a spy. But in that much anger? No way in hell is it anywhere close to subtle.

Cyp, on the other hand, is cold and vicious when he’s angry. In my main ‘verse, he’s far from an expert at cutting with words, but with weapons, including his mind? Definitely. He can tear you to shreds with what he’s feeling on the inside, or what he’s felt before, and look at you with the stone-cold glare of someone who, beyond anything else, is certain you deserved it.

Nisha is a third case entirely. Xe spent so much of xyr early life trying to be strong, to be in control, to be what was expected, and so xe never fully let xemself get into a position to figure out what xyr anger at that level would look like. But when that did happen later down the line, the times Nisha’s been at xyr angriest have been a combination of anger and grief. Claw Island was one instance, where xe tore into Risen after Risen after Risen with a stony face but fiery eyes. And the second was on the spire at Skimshallow Cove--a completely reckless attempt to chase and kill a god for who he’d just taken from xem. Nisha’s anger is more of a storm than anything else.
