Rivienne's knowledge on love started with her brothers, for she adored them, it was all the love she had come to know of. She found it to be strong and unwavering for many years. But such love, in the end, turned destructive and gave way to heartache.

But now, she has learned that there is a different love, and it can create something beautiful where there was once a void. She didn't understand that love until it came to her at the most unlikeliest time, and she believes that this is what true love must feel like. The emotion in her very heart hints to it, and she knows that it is not mere admiration or something built on simple desires.

Might as well do this for Eleni. Smile

Family wise and platonically, love is very dear to Eleni. Once she makes good friends, she cares for them and cherishes them deeply. Also, she loved her grandmother to bits, and even though she doesn't remember much of her parents, she still feels 'attached' to them.

Oh... But of course, there's Love. That has so far been traumatic for Eleni. Yes, she's young, yes, she's stupid in the notions of love and romance. Fell in love once (well, she thought it was love), didn't work out, amicably split. Ah, but then came what she thought was True Love, and it most probably was/is, until the guy vanished. POOF! Gone! 

After everything she did!! Eleni went out to save him, have his life spared, and she succeeded!!


But then he vanishes!! She tries finding him, no luck! 

So now... Eleni is very apprehensive about Love. She's been scarred by it, and she thinks she will never be able to Love again. She's even confused on her views on whether True Love exists or not now! 


--


On a side note, wow, a lot of the characters here have had traumatic experiences with love. Oh my! Surprise

Spoilers galore, because some of these characters are supposed to be pretty guarded about the topic :O Won't go into too many details, doe.

A'toli Phen
Show Content
Seems oblivious Actually pretty aware of what's going on, but always reserves such implications from others as the very last possibility in their interactions. For example, if someone told her they "liked" her, she'd internally scream and externally say something oblivious to the effect of "I like you too, it's why I saved you that last bread roll." She doesn't like complications.

Howling Wind
Show Content
Generally detached Confused about romance as a whole, he personally casts himself aside as "too much of a brute for such delicate things". He's a bit grossly self-defeatist.

Sasahno Sahno
Very, very simply never crosses her mind. WORK IS HER ONLY LOVE.

Talis Allond
Show Content
Also generally detached Talis loved! Once. Then he lost both of the women he was stringing along at the same time, which was fairly shocking to him. Now he dismisses love as a sort of... attachment that leaves too many risks. He just... doesn't care.

Valerian Fortanceste
Show Content
Pretty awkward Never really loved and is scared to. Much like Sasahno, as a workaholic he believes that work comes first and socialisation comes second. Simply put, he's a bit of a coward.

I would say that love is a hugely important aspect for Ember's character.

Even when I was first getting to know the character, I already knew that she would be affectionate. Initially, I always considered her affection and love to be a source of selfishness. She isn't that hard to please and on the flipside, can actually be petty if she is given a reason to be.

For those who don't know, the concept of my character is that she is this girl who was raised in the wilderness and thus may have a more primal or animalistic view on life. I would definitely say at the beginning her affection towards others was motivated by foods, gifts, and favors. Basically, if you gave her stuff she would like you.

Now, I think Ember has developed enough as a character to truly be able to love. She is beginning to consider that part of love is giving back to the other person.

She is in a romantic relationship, but she is also asexual and still learning about the concept of dating. She may never look at a romantic relationship the same way as others do. There is still a lot of overall growth potential in this aspect.

Other than that, most of the love themes in her role-play revolve around friends and family. These people have become the center of the universe.

As a (mostly) traditional Keeper, Nyxh worships Menphina, The Lover. So it's natural for love to play a large part in her views of the world. Her love for her family, friends, and especially her partner, is very important to her, and must be protected at all costs.

That being said; romantically, she's only had enough suitors to count on one hand. Less than half of those amounting to anything more than kissing and hand holding. 
Currently she is in a committed relationship and loves her partner with all her heart.

My character believes in love, but doesn't feel he really deserves it. When I first started RPing him he was less in love with people than he was just obsessed with them. Buying them all kinds of nice stuff, toting them around on his arm to show them off, that kind of thing. As most people that become obsessed with something, it's only a matter of time before something new comes around to obsess over. Sometimes even in secret. He's cheated on a lot of his lovers, some who he stayed with for months without them knowing he was messing around. There was one person who he managed to stay on-and-off with throughout the span of three of his relationships, which was just terrible.

Currently it seems he's calmed down. Being the emotionally awkward 'I must destroy my feelings, show no weakness' kind of guy he is, it's difficult for him to actually SHOW that he loves his partner. It's much easier to just buy them a lot of stuff. He's ignorant about how much damage he can do with just a few words and most of the time he's scrambling to make up for what ever insensitive stuff he blurts out. So far so good.

Lili was with the same person from the time she was 13 until she was like...mid twenties or so. She had three children and her whole love spectrum consisted of motherly love for her kids, romantic love with her husband, and familial love with her parents, adopted sister, and close friends.

She tried the open/polyamorous thing for a while when she was with C'kayah but that was one of those things she did moreso to make things easier since, well, miqo'te and all that, and when it ended she stopped those kind of entanglements and never looked back. Back to monogamy she went!

She is a very loving person overall. Its very hard for Lili not to love you in one form or another.

V'aleera's conception of love is derived primarily from three sources: her parent's wholesome and faithful marriage which persists to this day, her books of fairy tales and legends and the typically romantic stories about knights and princesses held within, and her socioreligious instruction and upbringing.

In her mind, a strong relationship (not necessarily romantic) is built upon shared experience and respect. A strong romantic relationship takes these things and binds them all together with the unbreakable adhesive of True Love. She believes that the unification of a man and a woman, two different bodies sharing the same soul, is one of the most magnificent manifestations of the divine in the mortal realm. And she believes it is the spiritual duty for everyone woman to keep her heart open for the man whom the gods have destined her to find, and vice versa. 

That she's never felt the feelings in her heart that the bards describe when dealing with the masculine gender and the fact that she'd often catch herself idly gazing overlong at the noble born Elezen girls with their pretty dresses, magnificent hair, and eyes that a ship could sink into are things she tries to just not think about.

Oh dear, where to even start...

Vetiver loves to feel, to touch, to be close to those she loves cares about. Sharing an emotional and physical bond with someone is a gift to be treasured and she thrives off that mutual affection to its fullest extent.

On the other hand, Vetiver is terribly afraid of commitment, particularly of the monogamous sort. She's already lost someone close once and still struggles with it irregardless of the emotional cushion she's built for herself. To lose someone again, much less now? Too much too soon.

Love is Kino's bread and butter! But she has a few rules.

1. No secrets.

2. Monogamy only.

3. Final Destination.

Kino, having primarily learned of love by growing up reading Classic Tales of True Love and High Adventure has strong beliefs that only classic romance counts as love and that's the only thing worthy of even being called love. She's not afraid of flirtings and doesn't look down on those who sleep around to get their jollies, but that's not 'love' to her, and anyone who claims to be in a successful polyamorous relationship is lying, or their love is less because they have to share it.

Kinono is currently engaged to be wed and in her own mind, she is the OTP.

Jajara was raised with a "duty first, love second (if at all!)" mentality drilled into her, and for a time she obliged it. It's a nice and lofty ideal and being able to have that while fulfilling all that she is "supposed" to fulfill is awesome - and, as she had noticed, not always how things play out. Since leaving her home, though, she has gradually pushed herself away from tradition and has come to accept and even want love for what she might consider to be wholly selfish reasons. And that's okay! 'Cause now she's got an adorable boy to watch after and she couldn't be more pleased about it. It definitely helps that he can cook! Wooh wooh!

She's pretty garbage at expressing all that junk, though. All that mushy stuff is definitely tricky. So she works and plays breadwinner instead.

Delial, on the other hand, is much more jaded about it. When she loves, she loves deeply, and it is too often the case that she loses those precious few in one way or another. Generally by her own doing - be it by some form of sabotage or even violence. As such she is much more reluctant to afford anyone more than casual encounters or flirtations, ever steeling herself against falling into the trap of that dreaded sentiment. 

It isn't something she doesn't want, however much she might say. She even confessed to someone that she had at one point desperately wanted children, and she is getting to a point in her life where her priorities have to shift if she wants to fulfill those wants. Whether or not she can, though...

For Mr. North, the concept is a luxury at best, and a waste of time at worst. Equality has always been the one thing he has most avoided, preferring the easier clarity of his professional relationships as a servant - he does not, and potentially will not, feel of appropriately equal status to anyone to consider the prospect of a (healthy) romantic relationship with them, and he knows enough of interpersonal affairs to know that combining romance with his perpetual master/servant dynamic could end up quite disastrous. All affection thus far is essentially familial in nature.

Gharen is kind of has a mix of issues when it comes to love. On one hand he pretty much feels as though he is broken and disfigured due to extensive amounts of scars and burns, and isn't worth a woman's affections, as such he doesn't go looking for love, it's literally the last thing on his mind at any given moment. He is also notoriously oblivious to subtle hints and flirtation as a result.

On the other hand, when he is in love however he is all in, but there is always a part of him that doubts his worth, and will wonder upon reasons of his significant other, he has a difficult time fathoming that someone could actually have an emotional interest in him despite assurances from them, and will generally be confused as to why they might.

His first and only relationship to date having ended abruptly he is slipping back into old habits of self isolation and keeping others at arms length.

Lan's ideas on family love were formed by his adopted upbringing. I would say it is what most folks think of when they thing of a sort of traditional Hyur family. His mother and father ran a way station/inn and he was the only child the ever had so he grew up in a good hardworking household. He has sorta shifted that feeling toward the Harbingers. They are his family and he is very protective of them, seeing no problem in visiting precise but merciless violence on people that threaten them. 

Romantic love was something that was also formed by his Hyur raising. He learned about tribal Seekers, but he just followed the ways of a Hyur. He had no real relationships, just the occasional fling, usually brought on by a night out drinking with his fellow soldiers, and there was the nurse right before he went into battle at Carteneau...

Currently Lan is quite happy with his relationship which is most certainly a non-traditional one. Qih was the first woman that he can honestly say he loved and despite recent revalations in their story, he still loves her dearly. That being said, Lan is what I call, my relationship retard. He has a habit of screwing things up, putting his foot in his mouth, etc. So it's a bumpy road for them, but they both seem to be in it for the long haul.

Peace is not my profession, it is yours. War is my profession. Should you fail at your job, I will not fail at mine.
