Speculating DQXI party’s last names and putting it under “read more” bc this post definitely cites lore that constitutes spoilers
Erik most likely does not have a last name since he was an orphan taken in by Vikings. I don’t think they would’ve given him one. Didn’t serve any purpose.
I actually think that Veronica and Serena’s last name is Fidelī, or “of Fidelus” (the second declension genitive, if we conjugate Fidelus as if it were a Latin word)
Sylvando’s real name, canonically (imo) is Norberto Rodrigo
We know Jade’s last name is Carnelian.
So like, Rab is weird. Bc consider. “King Carnelian.” “Lord Robert.” Robert might be his last name. Therefore, the Luminary’s surname might also be Robert. Though, they also might have a completely different surname having been adopted and raised by Chalky.
Hendrik, I genuinely have no clue. You could slap any last name on that man and it would probably work.
I think Jasper’s last name is Chalcedony or Agate or smth else rock themed
Suddenly thinking again about the orb's powers the Sentinels used, and if those abilities were originally usable by the orb's original owners. Or perhaps, a reverse of those powers.
Red Orb: Increases' party defence by 50% Blue Orb: Removes debuffs Yellow Orb: Returns anyone turned to gold back to normal Green Orb: Reduces MP drained by certain abilities Silver Orb: Unleashes righteous lightning on enemies Purple Orb: Allows the wielder to create a clone of themself
Erik
Growing up in the circumstances that he did, he’s not unfamiliar with hard and unappreciated labor. But his party members’ many thanks and looks of appreciation make him feel a lot better about helping out. The responsibility actually feels meaningful.
At campsites, he likes taking charge of the cooking, as well as washing up the dishes, pots, and cups they carry around with them.
Veronica and Serena
They both have very fond memories of grocery shopping with their parents. Making lists together, arguing about which fruits they want to get and what to have for dinner on Sunday night.
The grocery run would turn into a scavenger hunt game. Each girl would take one parent each and run around the Arborian markets trying to find the most items on their list.
Sylvando
Despite coming from a fairly affluent background, he’s actually got a lot of experience with chores. His dad raised him to be diligent and disciplined, not lazy, spoiled, and slobbish.
Really likes doing laundry. Keeping his clothes clean, wrinkle free, and smelling fresh is just another step in making sure he’s always ready to shine on stage!
Jade
She never grew up doing chores, but obviously that changed. Rab taught her a lot about how to take care of herself.
Her favorite thing to do is anything organizational. Putting things away in their proper place and making sure everything has a home.
Rab
Takes a lot of pride in his independence as an older man. Likes knowing that he can help himself just as much as he enjoys helping others.
Enjoys the meditative nature of sweeping and mopping floors.
Hendrik
He’s lived as a knight with plenty of domestic servants to assist him, but I think he actually likes maintaining some autonomy during the day to day. Tries his best to make his own bed in the morning and fold his own clothes, even if it’s a little messy.
His favorite chore by far is helping to take care of his beloved horse Obsidian.
Jasper
If you think this man has ever done any form of household labor in his life you’re crazy. That’s what his waitstaff are for.
If there’s anything he’d take upon himself, it’d be dusting his shelves. He wouldn’t want a clumsy servant knocking over any possessions that are important to him.
It’s 1:27 AM and I just submitted my last final of the semester. Now it’s 1:29 because I thought too hard about whether or not I had anything else to say in this post.
look all I'm saying is Jasper could've fixed things between him and Hendrik in a more healthy way rather than turning into a monster and dooming all of Erdrea. yknow something like having a heart-to-heart in a Chili's
