Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kelleris" data-source="post: 3056315" data-attributes="member: 19130">Hrm, guess I'm the only one who hasn't done one of these.  Anyway, here you go - Ianissa: Although he respects her for her position amongst the leaders of the Kingdom of Knowledge, Lupaz finds "Nissa" to be more than a little exasperating.  She insists on trying to make nice with him, as though he bore the same kinds of psychic scars that are sometimes evident with Vaurkriel, apparently not understanding that Lupaz accepts how his life has gone so far - and, for that matter, has faith in a way to improve things, although it has not yet been revealed to him.  And her squeamishness around violence strikes him as absurd; anyone who will attack someone as obviously offputting as Lupaz - or Nissa herself when she chooses to be - has tacitly committed themselves to what comes next.Tempest: Lupaz occasionally wishes he had not revealed his item-granted telepathic abilities to the hadozee because the deck ape's responses have a tendency to undermine a good silent glare.  Tempest projects a constant impression that he has something sneaky up his sleeves too, making him someone to watch out for, and while Lupaz sometimes feels the same way about him, he wishes Tempest would trust his carefully-honed skills at infiltration just a bit more.  At least he's gotten used to being called "Lucky" all the time, and no longer visibily winces.Trebuchet: Now the warforged is someone Lupaz can comfortably get along with.  He respects that the mage's skill set does not overlap much with his own, and that both of them are similarly focused - Lupaz hasn't quite figured out how to make use of the warforged's strange deference to perceived "superiors" (he's used to completing his missions as he deems most expedient), but he's sure he can find an amenable working relationship with Trebuchet.    Even the warforged's cheery approach to violence is not off-putting to Lupaz - if there's one thing he appreciates, it's black humor.  And in any case, it's as daunting to opponents as it is to the group's less experienced members.Oobobooboo: The ooze is also disconcertingly cheerful, but at least he isn't patronizing about it, so Lupaz will occasionally find himself humoring the little pile of jelly.  And he has to admit - the sight of the horribly acidic little critter ineluctably latched onto a foe is one that Lupaz can't help take as a good sign.  The items the ooze carries are another matter entirely, however - their aura is strange under detect magic, and they possess a menacing, otherworldly appearance.  The ooze seems incapable of properly explaining their origin, and some part of Lupaz believes that the items herald some future unpleasantness.Vaukriel:  Yet another proponent of the "deep psychic scars" theory of dealing with Lupaz, Vaukriel at least seems to have had some experiences worthy of the conflict that rages in his personality.  Even better, he's decisive and competent in battle, someone who seems capable of defeating terrible foes if a little luck is on his side.  As long as nothing and no-one appears to manipulate the fragile ego of the "angel," Lupaz is inclined to leave Vaukriel's healing to his own devices.  Only time will tell if he remains a trustworthy ally or if something tips whatever fragile balance Vaukriel mantains for the worse.Ekilu:  The darfellan strikes Lupaz as yet another unstable personality, sometimes rash and impulsive, sometimes cool and tranquil.  Lupaz isn't even sure which side of Ekilu's personality he prefers, but until he figures out what causes these mood swings he tries not to rely too much on the cleric's presence.  Lupaz does have some sympathy for the darfellan's situation, however, and genuinely hopes that time will show Ekilu to be a worthwhile ally in these stressful times.  The cute nickname thing is beginning to wear a little thin, though.</blockquote>
