Apologies for the double post and greater apologies as all of these take liberties (i just write what comes to mind and it sort of bleurghhhhssss)

I am very happy to discuss amend or bin and rewemrite. I have also realised i have an extremely confrontational nature except with 7 foot giants! Phenomenal instincts if i do say so myself


[b]Father Ragnar[/b][@lovejoy]
Astraea was very confused by Father Ragnar from the moment she met him. Before she had even introduced herself she had felt uncontrollable anger and intollerable pain. She had avoided him as much as she could but when it became clear their paths were linked for the forseeable future she attempted to bite the bullet. She tried to be nice battling against his emotions even as they lit a fire in her brain yet he responded with forced civility. It took immense quantities of an extremely potent liquor for Astraea to learn the reason for his dislike yet sadly this only increased her contempt for him. Though she understood and wept for his pain his hatred of her was incomprehensible. Had her parents been killed by a Varyan she would have focused her attention on the individual Varyan and removed his head or died in the attempt thus putting to rest her families debt. To hate an entire race because of the actions of a small group showed a petty and weak nature she could neither understand nor accept. For the good of the unit Astraea accepts and returns Ragnar's curt civility though the mix of his loathing for her and her contempt for him means it takes immense self control to still her hand from reaching for her spear.

It helps Ragnar is the protector of the group and as such she is duty bound to protect him from harm or they all shall perish. She has never been one to desert her duty!

[b]Father Rodion[/b] [@Drakey]:
Lanostre has never been a technologically advanced place and so Rodion mixes Astraea with a sense of wonder and contempt. On the one hand his ability is truly incredible and he has created things that have made her break into spomtaneous applause. On the other without his little toys she could flip him over and spank his backside with a hand tied behind her back. What honour is there in such a man?

Astraea finds it deeply soothing to watch Rodion work for when fully concentrating he is almost completely devoid of emotion which allows her to relax and enjoy her own emotions for a change. Nevertheless with Ragnar following him round like a lost puppy she withdrew yet with the distance growing in their relationship Astraea has begun to return to enjoy the tranquility.

[b]Father Hassan [/b][@Sisyphus] ( I very much agree tough one so I'll begin with this. Feel free to pm me)
As an empath Astraea is the only person that truly knows Hasaan's underlying fear and that the cocky boy act is just an act. They began as good friends Hasaan cocky and good natured on the surface but always fearful. It was only when Hasaan discovered her gift that he began to pull away terrified that she would tell someone else his true nature. Nevertheless despite the fact that she would not ever tell anyone the damage was already done.

Hasaan struggled to be himself around her and as he became more involved in the arts of stealth and secrecy she began to loose respect for him. On the face of it they are friendly and cordial but there is a slight tension running between them.

[b]Father Yerokhin [/b][@The Angry Goat] 
Astraea feels the greatest kinship with Father Yerokhin, who as the group tank, needs the most healimg and is the most honourable combatant of any Varyan she has ever known. He is a true test to spar with and is the only one to ask her of daemons and accompany her to hunt. At 7ft if he had green eyes and an elfish smile her mother would have had them wed before tea time yet his brutish Varyan features are unappealing to her prejudiced eyes.

Nevertheless she adores time sparring with Yerokhin whose emotions and words never vary, a quality she deeply admires.  Her fondest memory of the Red Seminary is the afternoon they spent trying to develop a one shot kill on an opposing protector. The theory was she grab onto his belt as he barrels foward with his shield extended knocking people aside. He retracts his shield as she use the momentum to leap and throw her spear. She almost lost her front teeth Yerokhin nearly lost his head but Astraea had never laughed so hard in her life.


Despite the fun she is terrified that he may figure out her secret for she struggles to match his Varyan devotion which is unwavering and unquestioning. She continues to flee before being drwawn back in by a new challenge yet it seems he is also wary and occassionally he is understandably curt and irritable. 

Her greatest fear is that on the day of the revolution she will need to put her spear through Yerokhin's heart to free her Lady
