OOC PICKS:
[USER=249]@LumosJared[/USER] -- When someone always calls you the protagonist, there has to be some meaning behind it. You were one of the first people to welcome me to this iteration of my RP on this server, and the combat you offered at the very outset was exhilarating and fast-paced. You're the reason I am where I am now - the job I got through slicing poor Jared's beard off is the job that pushed me through the ranks, into a special permission, and then into the position I hold now as leader of the Nelfin coalition. So, thank you. We may not talk, ever, but you're a big reason I'm here, and I appreciate that more than you probably know.
[USER=2517]@HydraLana[/USER] -- I've always known you as the guy people went to for lore, but each time I've bumped into your RP it's been beautiful and well thought out. I'm really excited to look for the chance to do stuff with you on a technical level, to see how you make that wonderful writing work and to get to know the guy who's worldbuilt so much for all of us, sometimes thanklessly. Your marriage lore made me incredibly happy, and while I do not know your characters I would be very pleased to change that. A great influence and a wonderful community member, I hope to see more of you around.
[USER=4309]@Lumiess[/USER] -- I may hang out in the same places as you, but that doesn't mean I really hang out with you that often, like I might with Emma or Bell sometimes. I've come to realize that you're a great RPer with an adorable sense for aesthetics and motifs, and each time I've managed to interact with you has been different from and better than the last. Even now I'm looking forward to grabbing Penn one of those dumb so basically i'm baby snakes he wants so much and just seeing his reaction, and I feel like I'd be doing myself a big disservice if I didn't poke you more often and get to know you a little better. Maybe I will right now.

[USER=12959]@Bellarmina[/USER] -- Aesling is an adorable young woman who's suffered unduly in her yet short life. Vivana, even as she is, has a lot that she wants to do for her - whenever she's around, she ends up trying to get her to work through her worries and her upsets, and does the best she can for her. Her worries about Aesling 'falling' like her compatriots and friends dominate her opinion of her, and until she can clear that skewed vision of her she isn't going to be able to truly get to her goal or manage to talk to her all too often. Still, despite their none too regular contact, Vivana hopes that she can do right by her.
[USER=10299]@Tibertastic[/USER] -- Oh, Vulmar. Though Vivana's had relatively meaningful interactions with him on a political and motive-based level, the two of them haven't ever just gotten together and shot the shit. It would be fascinating for her to speak to the man who personally prosecuted the war against her fief and former overlord just two years previous, and it would be equally fascinating to truly grip the mindset that drove Regalia in this bygone era of conservative politics. She has the odd feeling that they are the same manner of person, but with different goals for different peoples, and connecting to someone with the same root desires as herself is a refreshment the Altalar much needs.
[USER=12979]@Walnoodle[/USER] -- I'll keep this one short and sweet. Female knightly figure, hears about another female knightly figure? Let's meet up, girl.
