hcs & pronouns. gray-acearo, he/xepartners: fen the courier, soren the architect.
notable aus: vamp-ivorrensummary: despite meeting in ... turbulent times, fen and ivor were surprisingly fast friends - even with his usual grumpiness. having made a shaky living as a traveling postman, fen is interested in something a little different; her travels let her research almost anything to her hearts content, but when it comes to potions, it's one of the most challenging things to learn on her own. luckily, ivor's a long-time brewing natural - and it seems like something about fen's bright demeanor has him allowing her to apprentice under him...bug's notes: I first played this game with one of my best friends ever in the whole wide world who introduced me to it :) and got attatched to Ivor very quickly afterwards! my insert here is named Fen, and they're a courier-slash-chef-slash-potions apprentice-slash adventurer. Ivor helps them learn potions, she helps him and the rest of their friends out on adventuring. And also get married at some point.

hcs & pronouns. pan (male lean) + aro, he/him/doesn't carepartners: ivor the potioneer, fen the courier
notable aus: vamp-ivorrensummary: despite meeting him at the same time as ivor, there was a brief period of time where soren had once again gone under the radar, and fen wasn't able to continue getting to know her newfound friend. thankfully - or, perhaps unfortunately for him? - soren's home needs some serious repair following a rather unexpected lab accident. turning to ivor in hopes that he can get enough materials to rebuild and go right back to his isolated research, he's completely unprepared for the presence of fen as well, and equally unprepared for the (positive) changes his life is about to make.bug's notes: soren got to me after a very. very specific line. i'm glad he did though :) i really love polyships and thinking about their dynamics with & without my being in the equation, so i feel very lucky that i ended up liking soren too.

hcs & pronouns. there is no universe where you can get this information out of him. assuming he/him is fine.partner: princess i'cee
notable aus: vamp-dooku, demon lord dooku, time-travel fix-it, jedi dookusummary: in the middle of war, count dooku understands the need to ally with as many planets as he can. that's why, on the approach of a wayward little princess, he graciously allows her aboard the ship of his best general - originally simply to keep her in good graces, and because her mechanical prowess is certainly not unwelcome. the transition from there to her employee as a spy is smooth - why not employ a sweet, kind-looking royal to get information from the republic's side? of course, his own growing attachment to her isn't part of the plan...bug's notes: ohhh my god. oh my god. i swear i didn't like dooku at first but then something happened and now he's here. i have a cute little dooku funko and i really hope to one day get his lightsaber :)

hcs & pronouns. unlabeled, he/himpartner: princess i'cee
notable aus: bodyguard grievous, time-travel fix-it, jedi dookusummary: there is little grievous dislikes as much as obvious weakness, and despite his lord commanding grievous to address her with titles and respect, respect is the last thing he has for the princess on his ship. he's content to ignore the pink thing, despite having an organic to interact consistently with for the first time in ages, and only just tolerates the routine cybernetics tune-up he's been commanded to undergo. however, despite it all, the more time he's forced into proximity with her, the more things seem to become - different.bug's notes: grievous!!! the first character that got me into star wars. i have a few figures of him also!! he's so fun in the violent angry warlord kind of way. i'cee's story mellows him out in some senses, though not others.

hcs & pronouns. demi, bi, he/himpartner: sam benedict
notable aus: on-the-go 9000 (app au), android halsummary: a little researcher and a littler ai, life is peaceful in space for these two. despite the relative isolation, sam can at least phone home and even conduct interviews, write stories, anything she could want - and even when the peaceful loneliness is a little sad, she can always count on her companion to keep her company, ask after her interests or invite her for a game of checkers (despite her best efforts, she hasn't quite yet memorized chess movement). in this case, she supposes, what comes next is a little less than surprising to her.bug's notes: Hal is my longest main out of these!. I've gotten a bunch of friends into ASO and I'm always glad to see him get attention <3. I like to pick up copies of the books and movies that have different covers or other interesting quirks, and so have a small collection :)

hcs & pronouns. i dunno he's not mine ... love you . he/him thopartner: bug :)
notable aus: vamp-ecstasysummary: bug has a quiet little life, and she's more or less certain that won't change even with a recent promotion that'll have her working directly with one of the district representatives one-on-one. having a dual amazement-admiration baseline it makes sense for her to be on a job that requires keeping up with an idealistic ecstasy rep - and after meeting him directly, she's sure that her impressions have about lined up with her initial assumptions about him; and she's happy to help in general, even setting aside her own interest in his project ideas. work with someone long enough, though, and maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise when certain feelings develop - but, representatives aren't allowed to have relationships of that nature. that'll put a stop to such a silly crush ... right?bug's notes: (really stressing that everything here, apart from the source description here, is all headcanon stuff - especially the zodiac cuz plutchik has a different calender system!!!!). Ecstasy is from Plutchik! It's a media I'm really interested in that's still developing (you can go check out @axellis for more info, since I really don't think I can do it justice) in which the magic you use is directly related to a feeling on the Plutchik wheel of emotions. at some point you feel an emotion So Strongly that it's then rooted into your magic & gives it a boost when you feel that emotion! ecstasy is the representative of Elaphor, the ecstasy-based district, andddd he's very kind & sweet & considerate and i love him very much.

hcs & pronouns. good luck figuring this out. he/himpartner: bug
notable aus: isekai / reverse isekai, vamp-vetinarisummary: a lonely little wizard, bug finds joys away from the unseen university and instead keeps to herself, her books, and her day-to-day routine, kept company by the various spells bouncing around amiably within her head. she's normally very good, despite being an unfortunate prodigy, at keeping her spells from messing with her daily life. but she's moved near the palace recently, and, well, her magic is rather unfortunately eager to help her talk to someone she rather admires. it might even be charming, had that person not been her city's own tyrant.bug's notes: discworld!!!!! i got into it recently, though i really should have sooner since vetinari has been recommended to me before. i love books very much and the style of storytelling in these resonates a lot with me.

hcs & pronouns. bi, demi . + he/himpartners: august spades, yes man
notable aus: isekai / reverse isekai, nvu, vamp-bennysummary: despite having shot her in the head, spades doesn't hold a grudge - she got better, anyways, and there's something kind of charming about this man. still, if she doesn't help him out, he might run off and get killed anyways; all she wants to do is take down corrupt powers and help the little guy in new vegas. if along the way that means helping him get what he wants, then that's just how the cards fall.bug's notes: Benny is. This is so hard to say. I don't like him at all but I love him very much. I don't like him but we are married and he's married to Yes Man and it's. I don't like him. I talk more about him on my website and I own so many black-and-white plaid things and everything but I don't like him. Thanks.

notable aus: isekai, vamp-benny.summary: finding him was a stroke of luck entirely unexpected, but benny hadn't been kidding; there really was a lone, helpful securitron hiding out in the back of benny's bedroom. spades didn't like taking advantage of robots programmed to assist, but these were more or less extenuating circumstances - and the least she could do was make sure he got what he wanted out of the deal, too, right?bug's notes: Yes Man was introduced to me by a close friend (which is the reason i got into fallout originally!!).I have his official polyresin statue!! He's really important to me and he is also in love with Benny bc i think their dynamic is funny and cute.Smile
