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.

Nocturni Nihlus Inspo

Posted on by squigglysquidd

I was thinking about an ask I got a while back about Nihlus in Nocturni and his background. I know what it is, no doubt, but damn if some Volbeat didn’t help inspire me a bit with him.

And now I just want to see Nihlus dressed as an old school gangster

Nocturni Snippet

I wrote this before my mood went downhill and, I admit, I’m shamelessly hoping some feedback on it may get me back in the mood to finish the chapter.

I guess I’m asking anyone out there who knows Nocturni to let me know what they think. It’s greatly appreciated ❤️

Garrus watches as Jai becomes a part of the Archangel team effortlessly, their initial suspicion in her and the disguised Nihlus overcome by her cheerfully helpful and inquisitive nature. Even if he couldn’t hear what was said – and Nihlus wasn’t really helping by describing it over the comm in his helmet to Garrus’ visor – Garrus could see the easy way Jai seems to find a purpose once more after her entire life was thrown so out of balance by his sudden appearance the day before.

He knows the fact that his team aren’t strangers to the Gozu district’s clinic where she worked helps to instill confidence that she won’t endanger them or their location, but he didn’t need to know of their familiarity with the clinic to know she’d be loyal. She wants to help people, has that charitable nature Omega hasn’t bled out of her, and Garrus has a feeling that his decision to offer her personal aid and attention to his team is just the kind of relief she needs from the new, strict protection order he and Nihlus have created. He can wait back in the shadows as he is now and feel sure that she will be able to do what she craves as well as be safe, both under his watchful eye as well as his team’s.

Perhaps, in time, he can trust them enough to let her stay without him while he joins Nihlus in hunting down Cydian and her Nocturni.

“They seem to be taking to her quite well,” he hears Nihlus say quietly over the comm and Garrus can’t help but to rumble in agreement.

“It’s better you let her do the talking, then.” Shifting to get a better resting position with his new armor, he leans over the railing of the catwalk he’s chosen, glancing directly below at the passing crowds of the Kima district. “Get her attention and get out of there.”

“Less exposure means less time to get suspicious,” Nihlus says, clearly understanding Garrus’ reasoning and concern. “Good idea. Meet us at Afterlife. I’m taking her through a different route than directly across the bridge like we came in.”

Garrus chuckles, knowing the man’s desire to keep to the normal routine Garrus had explained his team is used to. When not anticipating staying at the base, Garrus comes in one way, passes on his orders, and often leaves another way. It’s better to throw off any possible tails that way and his team just seemed to have accepted his admitted paranoia. It’d only stand out to them if Nihlus broke that unusual security measure with- of all things – a stranger at his side.

Umbrus Nocturni Chapter 15 Teaser

Perhaps, in time, [Garrus] can trust [the Archangel team] enough to let [Jai] stay without him while he joins Nihlus in hunting down Cydian and her Nocturni.

Waving Jai over, Nihlus tilts his head slightly towards the back of the apartment Garrus’ team has taken over. “We should go.” Sensat holds up a finger to interrupt, but Nihlus hums and holds up his hand to the salarian team member. “I have to get Shepard back to the clinic and return my watch. I’m charting patterns in merc movements around the clinic, trying to put together a pattern we can work with.”

Garrus thrums, impressed, and speaks lowly though he knows only Nihlus can hear. “Nice cover.”
