@Digizel -- my thoughts are that, while Shieldwing doesn't take well to trickery or pranks, his questioning of authority appeals to Sylph. They find him annoying (the over-confidence, the arrogance) at times, but can recognize the common goals, and a friendship could grow there.


This does make sense. Although he doesn't question the authority or traditions so much as dislikes how hard they can be on him. He follows their traditions as best he can. Although, in terms of your Fellowships, that does give me an idea. One of Sylph's Fellowship questions are:

"You have helped ___ to question one flawed tradition of their House. Tell them what it was, and take a Friendship Gem from them."

Perhaps this could be in reference to Shieldwing. Perhaps Sylph came to him while he was frustrated or angry after getting a particularly nasty scolding for his attitude in a lecture on politics (perhaps they were even present enough to overhear him getting yelled at or something). They could maybe approach him, converse with him and comfort him a bit by talking about how the Brynbacks are too focused on being at the forefront of dragonkind politics anyway. And perhaps how this makes them come across as elitist, considering they're the only ones who actively teach this kind of thing as though Brynback being a superior House suited for leading were just a fact.

What do you think?

~~~

In any case, these are my own Fellowship questions, so if anybody has any ideas of their own for these, let me know! These are all pretty easy to fill in, honestly, but I'd like to get some opinions from you guys as to which ones may or may not suit your own characters and their personalities. That way I could potentially go with the ones I think work best for each category. After all, you know whether or not they'd do these things better than I would. xD

___ has stood by your side in a fight against a monster of the Darkness. Explain how they exemplified your virtue. Give them a Gem.

___ was there when you were most vulnerable. Give them a Gem.

@Digizel I like your thoughts on my Fellowship entry for Shieldwing. That sounds very in-character as well.

Any of your Fellowship entries work for Sylph. None of them particularly jump out at me so I'll wait until the others have their input and their ideas.

Hi Guys, sorry for the silence on my part. ^^"

Here are some ideas from me regarding the Fellowships.




@Digizel

___ has recently joined your Clutch and you are training them in the art of combat and the importance of self defense. Take a Gem from them.

I imagine Stargaze being the last dragon to join the clutch, (not just because she's the youngest, but also in the same way as being the last kid to be picked for a Dodgeball team). Stargaze would definitely want to help the Clutch out in some way, so she probably look to Shieldwing on help for learning how to fight. Plus, there is the benefit of being able to stand up to other small dragons who pick on her and bully her.




@rush99999

You know ___ looks to you when they want to get into trouble. Ask them how you exemplify their virtue and take a Friendship Gem from them.

At some point, Stargaze would get sick of the bullying and demeaning she endures from the other young dragons. Whether or not Shieldwing's fighting lessons help to alleviate the bullying or not, she'd definitely look to Skeboloff if she wanted to serve any bullies a slice of humble pie.

Upon first glance, it seems like she isn't very witty in conversation. She's straightforward and honest. But, she does exemplify Wit during any brainstorming for pranks: She'd recall important facts, or anything about the environment that can be used to her or the clutch's advantage.




@BleakBlueJay

___ worked with you to expose the treachery of an Elder dragon who had fallen to the Darkness. Give them a Friendship Gem.

I can see Stargaze helping Sylph out with this. She definitely wouldn't just sit back and do nothing if there is treachery from an Elder Dragon.

I imagine the particular Elder Dragon incited the bullying by saying that if a young dragon wasn't born into a house, then they are the worst of dragon kind and have nothing to offer.




What do you guys think?

I like to think that one of Skobeloff's favorite ways to sharpen his skills in trickery is by duping bullies into embarrassing situations. So yeah, he'd totally be down to assist Stargaze in her vendettas.

I had a look at Stargaze's Fellowships and I'm thinking that Skobeloff would be a good fit for this one.

___ showed you that the Darkness lingers everywhere. Tell them what Darkness you see in them, and take a Friendship Gem from them.

Skobeloff can be pretty power hungry at times. If she comes to him for help with pranks fairly often, Stargaze might notice this hunger for power in the form of Skobeloff's plans for humiliating the bullies also tending to leave him with some form of leverage over their targets.

Here we go! Got a few last minute clarifying questions though, ha.

- I added the "when using your powers to spy on the Darkness" instead of what was originally written for Touch the Darkness, though I'm not sure what it refers to either - would that mean whenever I use my other move, and/or when using Shadow Magic? Or can I decide whenever I want to use Touch the Darkness?

- About the obligation, does that mean my house wants me to mark a Shadow whenever I'm engaging in Darkness, or is it like a goal that I need to do once to fulfill? I do like the Ruby house a lot and think it's very fitting, but I wouldn't mind switching to the other obligation listed ("Use secret knowledge of the Darkness to aid another") instead if allowed!

Will get back to everyone on the fellowship/clutch stuff tomorrow (almost midnight rn)!

Also, she's a black dragon, but pure black on Guild's background is... painful, so I opted for a more brownish/greyish hue. Lmk if it's difficult to make out though!


Fellwing
She/her | The Seer | black

Stats:
Charm: +2
Courage: 0
Cunning: -1

Virtue:
Creativity

House & Obligation:
Kebros, the House of Ruby: Use secret knowledge of the Darkness to aid another.

Moves:

Advancement:

Shadow Track:

Shadowself:
You are magnetic and persuasive. You know dragonkin cannot be trusted any more than the Darkness can; you may have to traffic in lies and backroom deals to get things done. Make sure your clutch knows you are willing to sacrifice their feelings to get the job done. You are the Seer. Return from your Shadowself when a friend convinces you to trust a dragon you do not know.

Fellowship:
___ ’s knowledge is unparalleled within the Clutch, but they do not see the danger ahead. Take a Gem from them.

Shieldwing helped save you from the Darkness. Explain how they exemplified your virtue. Give them a Gem.

You dreamed of ___ long before you two met. Tell them what the dream was about and take a Gem from them..

1. I think you can choose whenever you want to use Touch the Darkness, and it's not related to any other move. The book, again, doesn't give me much to go off of, but that's what I'm choosing to interpret it as.

2. Again, I think the wording is a bit vague here as well, so sure, feel free to change the obligation. That still works fairly well with House Kebros in my eyes.

Also very happy someone has decided to be in House Kebros. It will give me more ways to insert them into the story, which is good because they've got... a lot of shit going on xP

Not to say the other Houses don't have a lot of shit going on, mind you, because they do. The whole of the Moonlit Isles, despite holding itself up (literally) as the last bastion of civilization, is freaking drama central.

After looking at the others to see if they have stuff that fit for me, I think I've come up with the best ones that work with Shieldwing that haven't already been taken.

@Guardian Angel Haruki's Stargaze:

I like the one you chose and I think it works great! Here are my ideas from your fellowship list:

___ was a friend to you when you felt all alone in the face of your destiny. Explain how they exemplified your virtue and give them a Friendship Gem.


The moment Shieldwing becomes aware that Stargaze has this amazing destiny in front of them, he is going to take a keen interest. Especially with his own ambitions of doing something to combat the darkness. He will probably feel a strong kinship with her, and would definitely promise to help her fulfill her mission, no matter what. He knows what it's like to feel the pressure from a big, important mission and to have all kinds of expectations forced on you, so he will definitely be able to empathize and sympathize with her. And the moment he finds out that she's a victim of bullying, he will IMMEDIATELY come to her aid, standing protectively with her and growling at the bullies and trying to get them to back off. He won't even be afraid to get into fights with them if he has to~

All of this I think leads pretty well into Stargaze and Shieldwing's relations. Heck, maybe Shieldwing is the one who brought Stargaze into the clutch in the first place~

I could probably get the other one from Stargaze to work as well ("___ is consumed by the Isle’s immediate problems; you will show them why they must focus on the future. Take a Friendship Gem from them."), especially if you wanted to take a Gem from Shieldwing instead of giving two. But I think the former option goes best with the one Stargaze will be taking from Shieldwing's own list. Idk, I'll leave that decision to you!

@Vertigo's Fellwing:

___ helped save you from the Darkness. Explain how they exemplified your virtue. Give them a Gem.

You dreamed of ___ long before you two met. Tell them what the dream was about and take a Gem from them.


Both of these work really well for Shieldwing honestly, so I'm good with waiting until somebody else picks an idea from one of these, or if you have any particular ideas yourself!

The former is good because it could tie into my Fellowship option of Fellwing option of standing by Shieldwing's side in a fight against a monster from the Darkness. Perhaps Fellwing one time had a vision she didn't like and went off on her own, but Shieldwing noticed and followed her. And while she was on her own, she ended up getting attacked, for Shieldwing to come to her aid. Perhaps, as a raw-scaled drake, he couldn't beat the monster in a straight fight like what he was used to, so the two of them had to get creative and used their environment to take them down?

Alternatively, the dream one works pretty easily for just about anybody honestly, and is open ended enough to be tied into basically any Fellowship of choice. xD So if somebody else works better for the Darkness one, then this could be a good backup.

And then Shieldwing is already part of Sylph's Fellowhips, so that would just leave Skobeloff, but...really the only one of Skobeloff's fellowships he would work well with is the last one ("___ gave you their trust and confidence at a time when you knew you didn’t deserve it. Ask them why they believed in you, and give them a Friendship Gem."), but it already ties into Sylph, so that's about all she wrote. Hopefully Fellwing fits your prankster fellowship better than he does. xD

If not, I suppose that Shieldwing could potentially fill that role. As you say, a more direct result might get one over on Skobeloff a bit easier than a typical prank. He doesn't really LIKE pranks like the Fellowship states, but he tolerates them within reason and might be willing to get back at him sometime.

EDIT: Also aww, poor Fellwing, the only member of the clutch not to have an S name~ xP

That would definitely be interesting!

She probably sees it after the first successful prank and immediately spoke up about it. I could imagine it as her stopping Skeboloff from going too far with the prank.

“That’s enough! The prank was successful, let’s just get out of here,”

Shieldwing may say he doesn't like pranks, but Skobeloff knows that just isn't true. From the moment Shieldwing knocked over that house of cards that Skobeloff was putting the finishing touches on, Skobeloff knew that Shieldwing loved pranks and tricks just as much as he did. Though Shieldwing may protest and insist that he doesn't like them, Skobeloff knows that's just an act to keep people off guard until it is too late. So Skobeloff always ropes Shieldwing into his pranks whenever he can.
