Oh gosh, what a nice thread.
I'd be quite willing to throw my character at Null for a chance at him being... any one of those things you mentioned, really. Â Because considering Null's backstory, and my character's tendencies, it could honestly go any which way.
Xavarian Mystrife is essentially a well-off mage somewhat 'new to the surface world' himself, the only things he really knows about it being what he's experienced so far, what he's heard from other duskwights, and what he's read in books. Â He'll not much talk about his origins, but he's a generally soft-spoken, yet excited, nervous, yet somewhat rambly, cryptic, mischievous nerd out in a grand search for Knowledge about the world. Â ... And he considers Knowledge to be anything from facts written on paper, to experiences of all kinds. Â Though a scribe and bookbinder by trade, he's got some odd issues with his overabundant Aether he hopes to figure out, seeks to delve into all kinds of ruins for artifacts and what have you (for his family), and barely ever is found within city walls.
He highly values intelligence, both in himself and in others, but has quite a soft spot for the curious and eager to learn. Â ... Despite all this, he'd not in the least decline more questionable endeavors, especially if there's knowledge to be had, and he loves experiments. Â
In short, based on Null's story, Xavarian's got a bit in common with Null, and a bit in common with that wealthy mage, and I just can't help but wonder how throwing the two together would end up going. Â It could be adorable, or completely terrible. Â And I'd be so down for 'adventure' type RPs, or what have you; I basically never have my character meet anyone in cities.
That said! Â If you're interested in Null and Xavarian meeting, feel free to PM me here, or poke me with a whisper in-game sometime so we can sort out timezones and schedules and get them in the same place. Â I totally don't have any idea how they'd get along, but I'd be willing to see.
