This came about due to a dumb thought I had while doing dishes, but I feel it turned out pretty cool.
Silvaire finally thought up a comeback to a "debate" he was having with his brother Astrelle, but was over on the First while Astrelle was on the Source.

It then became how to explain the genetics (they have 3 loving parents: a mom who is a wildwood, and 2 dad's, 1 wildwood, 1 duskwight, who have been together since before Silvaire was born).
Now it's "none of my characters are cishet" somehow. XD

2/2
Silvaire has a bit of tummy pudge, but is more focused on functional muscle over appearance due to his work and travels.
Astrelle's mucles are most definitely visible due to his training as a dragoon, even if he still looks like a twig.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Most people don't pay attention to Silvaire due to his "tired dad vibes", but Astrelle is a different story. People fear him due to him being quick to anger and his refusal to hold his tongue. After Foulque's "death," he snapped and...had to leave Gridania for a while.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Both Silvaire and Astrelle: Yes
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire would still be trying to complete his thesis, though it would be on a different topic (not on the "mysterious meteor showers").
Astrelle would be pushing for some HEAVY reforms in Gridania/The Black Shroud regarding the treatment of Duskwights.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire has contacts in most of the major cities due to his thesis work/past work earning him a sort of "room at the ready" that he paid for up front a while back.
Astrelle trades work for room/board if they stay in a city.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire would just stand there and watch them, perhaps with a quiet, "Well? Go on..." (you know the tone) while sipping a cup of coffee that he somehow has on him.
Astrelle would be scrambling for their tomestone to try to record a video of the upcoming disaster.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
While Silvaire could (he might finally have time to finish his thesis!), I don't think Astrelle could unless others could also become immortal with him.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire: "Thesis Defense" (players are buried under papers and books)
Astrelle: "Nothing Left to Lose" (Astrelle begins to laugh maniacally and summons out his weapons like nouliths and unleashes on the players in a full room are similar to the Bard's LB3)

Both Astrelle and Silvaire do their best to try to look at each lie logically, realizing there might be a reason behind said lie. They will try to find out from the person later on what was going on at the time, only really reacting once they get all the info.
#AstrelleLore #SilvaireLore
Silvaire's WoLFoe is (hopefully) dead and gone.
Astrelle is currently not allowed in certain areas of New Gridania due to what he did to the Lancer's guild (when he thought he'd watched Foulques fall to his death).
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire's is the level 99 Sage AF gear.
Astrelle's is...um...he goes through a few, but most involve crop tops, booty shorts, arm sleeves, and thigh high-heeled boots.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire- Small trinkets and whirligigs
Astrelle- collecting and growing different and new species of plants (Silvaire is constantly feeding this guilty pleasure for his little brother)
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire's headspace has gotten quite crowded, so there are some nights that require more work to fall asleep than others. Once he's asleep, he can rest well, but still wakes up at most noises.
Astrelle's sleep went to absolute shit since the events of ARR.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire is incredibly touch-starved, but cannot handle physical touch due to how his echo is trigger. He wears gloves and long sleeves/pants most times to avoid accidental skin to skin touch (and also to avoid direct contact with objects).
#SilvaireLore
Silvaire and Astrelle both love giving gifts to people, but are super awkward when they receive gifts. Which amuses their parents to no end because they will constantly give each other gifts followed by protesting that the other didn't need to get the other a gift.
#AstrelleLore #SilvaireLore
I decided to include both of their moodboards. Some stuff doesn't translate well, but I did my best. XD
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Astrelle's apartment is filled with plants, and he's magicked the walls and floor to look like the old Gelmoran designs.
Silvaire collects small trinkets & seeds during his travels. He has a small tree from Elpis growing in his study. (He also has a hoard of stuffies)
#AstrelleLore #SilvaireLore
Astrelle: "Imagination"
Silvaire: Either "Heroes" or "Ultima"
#AstrelleLore #SilvaireLore
Astrelle: Losing those he loves/being unable to save those he loves
Silvaire: Losing control
#AstrelleLore #SilvaireLore
Both: AuDHD, queer, fascination with space, overdeveloped sense of justice.
Silvaire: Tired "dad" of the group, has his chosen drink, no touchy most times, AroAce.
Astrelle: Fuck gender, "I will end you if you hurt my friends", working through stuff.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore #WriterLore
Silvaire: Would quite literally bring about the next calamity/destroy the world if he actually snapped (do NOT deprive him of his coffee!)
Astrelle: Tends to be self-destructive these days, so it would depend on the trigger.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire watched as everyone he loved died by Zenos and Fandaniel's hands, while stuck on the first (through the occular). He chose to join with Emet-Selch to form an Ascian Prime with his old friend, bringing about the next calamity and ending those who broke him.
#SilvaireLore
Silvaire's eyes glow, but have only started glowing recently once he brought his shard from the 13th (his reaper avatar) into himself like he had done with Ardbert, joining it with himself.
#SilvaireLore
Silvaire can only handle being around a select few people due to how his echo is triggered.
Astrelle prefers the company of a small group of people, mostly due to events in his past as a Duskwight growing up in the Black Shroud.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Both Silvaire and Astrelle have glowing stellar tattoos covering their bodies. Both siblings went to the Sharlayan Studium to study, and got tattoos to commemorate their journey. Astrelle's focus more on the connection to the astrologian gates.
#SilvaireLore #AstrelleLore
Silvaire and Astrelle both have surprisingly high pain tolerances due to their lines of work and study, though Astrelle does have a bit of a leg up on Silvaire due to having had to deal with period pain before transitioning and using magic to put a stop to that issue.
