[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3050123, member: 4936"] I spose I'll do one of these too! Helps to get in my character's head a bit...and to give others an idea of the past interactions... Brightstar Vaukriel, Angel of Splendor -- Speculating (to himself) about the origin of Vaukriel's physical oddities is a favorite pasttime of Trebuchet. While he has noted an extraordinary range of physical variance between individual humanoids, Vaukriel clearly transcends the norm. Trebuchet's interest in old writings is also piqued by the strange magic runes that seem to surround the winged human. Though Vaukriel has been lamentably unwilling to discuss the events that led to his alterations, he has been a rewarding conversationalist on the topics of language and symbology. In addition, Vaukriel has shown a certain violent streak when facing certain foes that Trebuchet respects. Tempest Wintersquall - -- Tempest remains something of an enigma to Trebuchet. Frequently laughing at his earnest comments as if they were attempts at humor...Tempest is a constant reminder that Trebuchet has a lot to learn about psychology, most especially that of socialization and humor. However, Tempest is nothing if not jovial, and seems not at all offput by Trebuchet's appearance, which he finds gratifying. Now if he could only decipher the strange young man's insistance on referring to him as 'bucket.' Lupaz, the Hound of Ill Omen - -- Lupaz was the first blink dog encountered by Trebuchet, and it took some encounters with packs in the wild for him to comprehend how aberrant Lupaz truly was. As such, he feels a surprising degree of kindship to the hound...for he too appears to be unique, forever out of place. The notion of curses and bad luck do not faze Trebuchet much. Luck simply doesn't exist to the warforged; replaced by a complex notion of probability. Curses are classified as debilitating and/or incapacitating magic that does no lasting damage, and are merely another kind of magic. It would be fair to say that Trebuchet experiences something analogous to affection towards Lupaz. Ianissa, daughter of prophecy - -- Still remembering when Nissa was afraid of him, Trebuchet tends to be cautious about himself in Ianissa's presence...careful to attempt to be as nonthreatening as possible. Regrettably, his training and programming are precisely the opposite of this, leading to such phrases as, "Do not worry, Nissa! If you stay perfectly still, only those enemies near you will be agonizingly reduced to bone cinders and ash!" Despite such gaffes, he has made significant progress and is pleased about that. He is especially intrigued by her fae nature, as immortals may well remember things that more mortal races have long forgotten. Oobobooboo - -- Similar to Lupaz, Trebuchet is hopeful of finding a kindred spirit in the strange ooze. His doing so is hampered however by an unexpected development; fear. Trebuchet finds himself intimidated by the notion of an intelligent blob of acid; no matter how well behaved. He doesn't dislike Oobobooboo, but neither does he feel comfortable around him. He does have sufficient grasp of propriety to attempt to stop this gnawing fear from being expressed...but he's not terribly good at falsehoods or acting just yet. [/QUOTE]
