Relationships

Cairn

Their mentor.

During Starless Town events

"...Maybe Nero was right. Maybe I'm already too far gone for a normal life. I've killed them. I've killed them with my hands."

A teacher and their apprentice. Their relationship wasn't exactly the closest, but they respect/care for the other. In a way, they're still strangers to each other, unaware of each other's true vulnerability.

Xiphos

Velin finds her intimidating, but respects her a lot.

Dory

friends :D

infodump i've pasted from somewhere else

• they're like 15
• prodigy in "able to use advanced magic spells at early age" way, they're also interested w/ developing magic tools and all. if you remember the pendant i make cairn wear sometimes, then yeah that's one of velin's inventions (along with their own)
  • it's a magic pendant (powered by ambient magic energy in the air) that velin created as a prototype, and gave it to themself and cairn. mostly used as a way to communicate from a distance
  • "if a person casts their magic in the pendant, the other pendant will react" type of magitech
• despite their feats, they're generally a socially awkward + easily startled guy, though they can be pretty cunning at times
• i changed their name into velin, like two last syllables from javelin. and speaking of weapon-themed names, the two other people they're with (in one of the pics i drew), xiphos and dory, are also prodigy teenagers with weapon-themed names.
  • after creating velin for sometime, i added xiphos and dory since i thought i needed more characters to smooth some story parts out + velin could use more characters who's around their age (compared to cairn, nydia, and nero who are somewhere in their 30's)
  • "why are these guys all some form of magic prodigy" i like playing around with these types of characters. plus most of the starless town plot doesn't really touch on surface-level magic stuff, so yeah
• "how the fuck did a 15 year old apprentice kill cairn"
  • cairn's guard is normally lowered around velin
  • velin was given a special wand for to carry out the murder. cairn immediately dropped dead upon its usage
  • how did they bring themself to kill their mentor? they got manipulated by another character (nero)
• velin does not cope well with the fact they killed cairn. they kinda "broke" after they saw cairn coming back to life
