WafflesRock: I’m always curious about your OCs! 1) Fibonacci — what does king Castis think of Garrus falling in love with Jana? 2) Nocturni — how close are Saren and Nihlus? Father/son relationship or just work associates? 3) Parable — one thing guaranteed to pull Saren away from work? Does Arcanus have a guilty pleasure? What’s Damocles’ favorite movie?

Fibonacci – Primarch Castis is just plain happy someone seems to be able to calm his son down. Instead of focusing on creating huge and wild parties, Garrus seems to be focused solely on impressing and treating Jana. It certainly leaves Cipritine in a much better state than after a party, lol

Nocturni – I’d say the relationship between Nihlus and Saren isn’t quite father/son. They aren’t that far apart in ages, so it’s more mentor and protege, maybe so far as older and younger brother. Nihlus wants to prove that Saren didn’t waste his time training him to hunt Nocturni and he certainly doesn’t want to keep disappointing him by losing Cydian. Cydian is Nihlus’ chance to show he doesn’t have to work in Saren’s shadow and by the Spirits, he’s going to kill her one way or another.

Parable – The only thing capable of dragging Saren from work is Cassia, even if she’s not personally there or physically getting in his way. Even people using her name and person to convince him can usually work.

Arcanus doesn’t have any kind of grand kink or anything, but we all know he loves his Nullis Secundi (I’m too lazy to check my own spelling). One thing he loves to do is find a good read, settle into a comfortable chair with a glass of Secundi, and only stop if Ellie comes around. Ellie, without a doubt, is his most guilty pleasure 😉

Damocles’ favorite movie is a tie between LOTR and Fight Club. If he could, he’d definitely be one to find such a club and join himself, but most on Virmire are so intimidated by him that he probably would never hear of one near home if it existed.

Tumblr Ask: Dogtags and Ominigel for Arcanus, please? ^ ^

Arcanus

Dogtags: How do they want to be remembered?

Before Ellie, he just wanted to rise in the ranks of the Hierarchy and be known for being a great turian. He wanted to do great things, maybe be a great General and prove that he had it in him to succeed without anyone ever knowing he was biotic.

His goal is still very much the same, to be known for being a great figure, but it’s just changed on how he goes about achieving that. He wants the Wraiths to become the best mercenary company in the galaxy and he wants his name to be just as recognized. Even if he may be considered a criminal, he wants people to respect the Wraiths and respect him in kind. 

Omnigel: What strategies do they prefer to use when trying to solve a problem?

Arcanus likes to know things before he needs to implement them in his life. If he can’t solve a problem with his own experience or knowledge, he isn’t too proud to reject any help from someone he trusts. Sure, he won’t just look to a stranger for help, but someone he knows? When it’s something important, he will speak with someone who knows and presents the problem to them for assistance. The smaller, less vital issues, he may try to solve himself (like when he used to care for the twins) but it’s not like he’ll deny someone when they step in.

Thanks for the asks!

How do you describe Arcanus’ voice? Was Jane and Ellie born is America or different countries? I just recently read your new one shot. It’s enjoyable to read😋

squigglysquidd:

Thank you! 😀

I don’t have a specific actor or such for his voice because I’m really bad at that, but I can describe his voice otherwise. It’s calm and smooth, deceivingly soothing considering the fact that he IS still a merc leader with years under his belt of giving orders. He rarely raises his voice outside of when it’s needed in battle, and even then it’s never out of anger but more just a raised voice to be heard above the noise. When he’s angry, it barely shows and only those who know him would he able to tell because neither of his vocals will reveal it.

Jane is from America but Ellie is from the United Kingdom. Her childhood was spent traveling though because of her mom’s service to the Alliance, but she’d say England is where her true home is.

Thanks for the asks!

We have a voice! All thanks to @wafflesrock16 for the idea of Sir Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and I got to say that after I played a bit with flanging, it is so him.

Absolutely perfect

Seriously, if you want to hear it, check it out here!

Yes, another one.

“Very well,” he starts, his voice steady and golden eyes scanning over their forms.  “We will begin with creating a barrier.  Then we shall test their strength before learning how to break another’s.”

“But…”  Cassia stops and looks aside, where in her brother apparently finishes the thought.

“How are we supposed to make one as strong as yours?  Isn’t yours supposed to be unbreakable?”

Arcanus purrs softly at their understanding and nods once.  “It is.  However, for your lessons, I will decrease its strength in relation to your current capabilities.  It would not do to train you both against odds not in your favor as you would not learn appropriately.”

The young girl hums as she seems to examine Arcanus with eyes he has always believed belong to a much older, much wiser individual.  “But we’ll never be as good.  What if someone else is like that?”

Arcanus glances between the two, his mandibles lifting before lowering in consideration of how to quiet such thoughts.  It won’t do to have them not expressing their full potential because they do not have the will to make the attempt because they believe they will do nothing but fail.  In his life, he hasn’t been in a position to teach another in any way that didn’t involve dealing with punishment for a failure by a subordinate, but these two are not his subordinates.

They are his family.

When he feels he has taken too long to respond, he relaxes and lays his free hand on her head.  “Do not compare yourself to the ability of others, but to who you were the day before.  Always strive to be better than your past self and you will become strong in your own way.”  He moves his hand to Damocles, adding, “Do not expect to excel in what someone else can accomplish, but pave your own way to success.”

Osteogenesis Teaser?  Well, alright then.

Arcanus could already hear the soft clinking coming from the kitchen to announce the twin’s completion of their breakfasts.  Why they insisted on eating the colorful chunks of nothing but sugar called Blast-Os still alludes him, but he might just be able to use that energy for today’s training session.  They may be only seven in Earthen years – Earth being their birthplace and, thus, easiest means of calculation – but Garrus has already begun to teach them how to shoot and their mother has begun biotics lessons.

While skilled in the matter of harnessing biotic power into a destructive force, Jane doesn’t have quite the amount of experience in teaching her children to hold a barrier.  If Arcanus is to let Cassia and Damocles onto the field, he will make sure they can form the strongest barrier within their capabilities.  It’s also less of a struggle with their parents when Jane herself admits any of her training involves offensive biotics and happily agrees to his own training.

Looping the last of his robes’ closures into place, Arcanus smooths the black fabrics before turning to return to the twins before they can become restless in his absence.  Admittedly, he is not suited to tend to children of any age without Elyse’s aid, but she seems to have left the house in search of something to do instead of watching the training.  Just as well, he considers, as she’s apt to disprove of his planned incentive, even if it holds no possibility of harming either child.  She is much more comfortable tending to the energetic children than he is.  He despises admitting any sort of inability after so many years of needing to remain at his best or risk being assassinated for his position, but these two Vakarian children have managed one thing even a Thresher Maw was unable to do.

These two children, small as they are at their age, leave him completely unprepared more times than he cares to admit.  Yet, he realizes, the feeling doesn’t create as much discomfort as he would have previously imagined.
