✧*̥˚ 《BASICS》 *̥˚✧

❄ [FULL NAME] ❄
⤷Chosen: Lycidas
⤷Divine Title: Lupus Exitium
{Translation: Wolf of Destruction}

❄ [NICKNAMES/ALIASES] ❄
⤷"Snowfall" is an affectionate nickname reserved only for use by close friends
⤷"Wayward Wolf", often interchanged with "Lost One", are nicknames that were originally coined by Venti in a tale known as "The Wayward Wolf and Winter's Song" that shows the tale of how Lycidas helped wolves around Mondstadt during the years following the Archon War.
⤷"God of War"/"Deity of Winter" are the names bestowed on him by the Vesanian people, and as such are seen as his "official titles" in his original nation.
⤷"That Thing"/"Mangy Mutt" are degrading nicknames bestowed upon him by higher gods both right before and after his binding. He's seen as a monster who must be contained at all costs by this point and thus, he's reduced to being referred to as a rabid animal in a cage.
⤷"Luci" and "Cidas" are general nicknames used by friends. Both are general puns and shortenings of his name.
⤷"Bringer of Blizzards" is a semiformal title that are only ever truly used for religious and pious purposes.
⤷"Wolf Breath" is an "ugly nickname" bestowed upon Lycidas by Paimon as a result of his initial grumpiness and near constant teasing later down the line. This references his obvious canine traits.
⤷"Twilight Prince" is a nickname that Lycidas would only allow a lover to call him due to the personal significance it holds to him

❄ [NICKNAMES FOR OTHERS] ❄
⤷Lycidas doesn't tend to hold friends very often, let alone allow someone to stick around long enough for him to give a nickname. But there are exceptions.
⤷He calls those who appear younger than his physical form "Kiddo", "Pup" or "Little One"
⤷"Radiance"/"Heavenly One"/"Fate's Child" are all names he uses to refer to the Traveler. He noticed the second one in particular seemed to get a rise out of them, and he uses it scarcely just to get them to blush as a result. What begun as a simple observation turned to teasing.
⤷"Floating Brat" is what Lycidas generally calls Paimon, although it's(usually) said in a teasing manner. Sometimes he'll drop the "floating" altogether and just affectionately call her a brat.
⤷"Lupical"/"Soul Son" are what Lycidas calls Razor. He's the closest thing he has to a child, aside from the wolves themselves and has essentially adopted him as his own.

❄ [AGE] ❄
⤷Chronologically over 2,900 years old
⤷Appears to be around his teens

❄ [GENDER IDENTITY + PRONOUNS] ❄

❄ [SPECIES] ❄
⤷Minor God [current]
⤷Wolf [previous]

❄ [PHYSICAL HEALTH] ❄
⤷Lycidas does his best to not show it, but even after being freed from his binding, he often has nasty joint pains, particularly after battle.

❄ [MENTAL HEALTH] ❄
⤷Being as he prefers to avoid his problems rather than confront or speak of them, Lycidas is not doing great mentally.
⤷Due to the trauma not only of adjusting to godhood after a previously simple life, but his purpose as a weapon and later binding have given Lycidas horrid C-PTSD, Archon War aside.
⤷He has big trust issues, to the point it could be considered a type of paranoia regarding the intentions of others.

❄️[ENGLISH VOICE CLAIM]❄️
Greg Chun [Ike, Fire Emblem Heroes]

❄️[CHARACTER VOICE LINES]❄️
{Hello}: "Lycidas. Deity of... well, I'm not entirely sure *what* I govern. Make sure to keep up."

{Chat: Fear}: "Showing fear is a sign of weakness. Don't give your foes the chance to exploit you."

{Chat: Winter}: "Winters in my homeland were far harsher. Perhaps you may yet live long enough to experience the sting of the winds there."

{Chat: Moon}: "If you go astray, follow the moon. It will guide you right back to me."

{When It Rains}: "The scent of rain. Almost gives a sense of home."

{When Thunder Strikes}: "Come. Taking shelter beneath the trees is safest during this weather."

{When the Sun is Out}: "It's all too warm. Why don't we find shade to rest?"

{When the Wind is Blowing}: "If you spot enemies, ensure your scent will not be downwind."

{When It Snows}: "It's more tolerable, but still not cold enough..."

{Good Morning}: "Ah, you've awoken. Get up. I made breakfast this time. ...What? You look like you just saw a ghost."

{Good Afternoon}: "The noon day's sun always takes it's toll upon me. Would a tavern trip suit you? My vessel is unfortunately hungry."

{Good Evening}: "Watch yourself. Night is a treacherous time."

{Good Night}: "I'll keep watch. Your mortal body requires far more rest than mine."

{About Lycidas: Markings}: "You're intrigued by the design on my skin? This symbol on my forehead represents the compass. It's a sign of protection in my homeland. Representative of how all things will find their way home. ...You were referring to the chain marks? ...That is a story for a different day."

{About Lycidas: Other Gods}: "I have my allies and my enemies. Us gods, not even archons, are as perfect as you think."

{About Us: Travel}: "Traveler, you appear to have much knowledge in the way of survival. I am aware you've been journeying here for some time, however, your experience appears to go beyond that. I suppose we're similar in that regard."

{About Us: Protection}[Friendship Level 6]: "You fight well. However, even the mightiest warriors easily fall prey to pride. I will serve as your protection, your guardian. I wish to ensure your radiance will continue to shine throughout the nations."

{About Us: Siblings}[Friendship Level 6]: "Ever since my binding, I have not known true brotherhood since my mortal days. You say your sibling fell to the Abyss, yes? I understand all too well the sting of betrayal. I wish to be by your side when you reunite with them."

{About Vision}[Friendship Level 4]: "Gods have no need for Visions to grant them power. So I simply wear a Vision to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to myself. I would prefer to not incite chaos in regions already ruled my Archons without good cause. I actually wish to keep my newfound freedom."

{Something to Share}: "I doubt the climate here would allow it, but there is one thing that I could say I miss about my nation. The celebration of the Winter Solstice. My birthday. Or is it? Time eludes me now. Regardless, during this time, the mortals would gather around a fire beneath the full moon and prepare ceremonial dishes to celebrate. Tapestries woven of the nation's symbol, and many a tale were shared to bring upon the true spirit of winter. ...I'm not entirely opposed to introducing you to those traditions."

{Interesting Things}: "The blade is my muse, my life and my eternity. I was born into a nation of steel and sword, however, the forge was not its only noteworthy achievement. My people also had quite an advanced naval system, and explored quite a good portion of Pre-Archon War Teyvat. I am curious if any maps they made had managed to survive."

{About Razor}[Friendship Level 4]: "The young wolf boy. He is very powerful indeed. I'm surprised you know him as well, considering his reclusive ways. Tell me, how is my lupical doing? Have his hunts been prosperous? Any pack troubles?"

{About Barbara}[Friendship Level 4]: "The idol of Mondstadt. I doubt there's a soul there who doesn't know her. She has kindness like no other, and while her songs aren't to my personal taste, not to mention the awkward fact of her being unaware I have personal connections to her deity, she keeps good company. Do stop by the church and see her when you get the chance for me."

{About Venti}[Friendship Level 4]: "Ah, the drunken bard. ...Why so surprised that I know him? Tell me, is Bar- I mean, Venti since that's what he goes by these days, still as jolly as ever? ...He is? Good. I fear the sky would fall if he lost his spark of hope."

{About Childe}[Friendship Level 4]: "That sneaky little weasel. He has quite the ego for someone who's essentially barely considered one of the 11 Harbingers, both personality and skill wise, considering his constant attempts to spar with me. Stubborn as a mule, bloodthirsty. You'd do good to stay away from him. Sweet exterior aside, I know weapons of war when I see them."

{About Zhongli}[Friendship Level 4 ☆A New Star Approaches]: "I haven't heard anything about him in, what, years? He has quite the intimidating aura to most, and is a rather respectable god. I aspire to be as much of a feared and respected god as he is, but alas. Such a feat is impossible for someone who is not an Archon."

{About Baal}[Friendship Level 4]: "...You should know my answer to this. I don't like her. She's the reason I haven't made contact with Mondstadt in quite awhile, for the Vision Hunt Decree trapped me inside Inazuma's borders. Do you have the slightest clue as to how hellish it is to avoid using your elemental powers for simple tasks as a god who's always relied on ice? Plus, the stripping away of ambitions leaves mortals as hollow shells of themselves. Even animals dream."

{About Baal II}[Friendship Level 5☆ Omnipresence Over Mortals]: "So, the Raiden Shogun has finally been defeated. About time someone humbled her. Her Musou no Hitotachi is certainly a sight to behold until you're the one pinned beneath it. She is one god I would prefer to not trifle with if possible. You should know Electro and Cryo mixing doesn't spell great results."

{About Xiao}[Friendship Level 4]: "Ah, the adeptus in the form of a young boy, yes? I'm aware of him. He makes good company. Sure it may have taken a long time for one of us to cave and actually speak, but he has well-rounded taste in food at least."

{About Boreas}[Friendship Level 4]: "Ah, the pup god? Andrias? Still serving under the Anemo Archon I assume. As the older between the two of us, it honestly feels as if he's a little pup trying to be a bigger dog. I mean no offense to him though. Him feeling like a younger sibling to me aside, he did make a wise decision when choosing to keep his wolves seperate from human society. Humans have no place among the forests."

{More About Lycidas I}: "Give me your sword for a moment. No, I'm not doing anything strange. I'm simply adding... a little something.... and there. What? Didn't expect me to have experience in this? Yes, I am a blacksmith... sort of. It was a hobby I picked up while trapped in this current form.

{More About Lycidas II}[Friendship Level 3]: "I can tell you want to ask about what I truly am. The truth is, I have the hardly barest idea. Yes, I am a deity, but I was stripped of my powers for so long that I near forgot what it was I govern over. It's obviously related to the cold. I... can faintly recall something about snowstorms, though. Truth be told, I may need help in learning the truth myself. If it's no trouble to you."

{More About Lycidas III}[Friendship Level 4]: "You want to know about the ribbon? I suppose I can tell you something about it. Long ago, back in my home nation, the other gods in my pantheon began to fear me for some reason. I think it believe it had something to do with... a prophecy involving... me...? So, they devised a scheme to handle me without killing me. So, they devised three different "unbreakable" bindings. The first two were chains, but the last that actually contained me, ironically, was this ribbon thing because it couldn't snap like the chains. Looks can be decieving, heavenly one, and were it not for my ego, I never would have fallen for such a trick. ...You want to know how I escaped the ribbons? That's a story for another time."

{More About Lycidas IV}[Friendship Level 5]: "Say... have you ever met the wolf god... Andr- Boreas, I believe is what he uses these days. Don't tell him, since I believe he is still unaware, but he's basically my son. Well, technically all wolves are my children, but him especially. I was the one who gave him his powers. It wasn't very long before my binding, actually, so you could say he's my first child. He's so stoic, it almost feels as if he's still a pup trying to learn how to lead a pack. I can't visit him myself for certain reasons, but do check on him for me sometimes, alright? Even if he is nothing more than an icy spirit these days."

{More About Lycidas V}[Friendship Level 6]: "Remember that question you asked a long time ago? About my being a god? I remember now. I had many titles, but I was a god of destruction. So I guess you could say I had domain over war AND blizzards. Though it seemed the blizzards were the main aspect. Thanks to you, I also managed to learn that the prophecy I vaguely recalled involved a doomsday prophecy where gods would turn on one another, and I would be destined to be their ruin. They imprisoned me in some twisted to save themselves from fate. Not surprising, in all honesty."

{Lycidas' Hobbies}: "Sparring. ...Fine, something that you don't know. Believe it or not, I know my way around a deck of cards rather well. Whether it's because I have a good poker face or a good read on mortals, I haven't the slightest. But the constant risk of losing is what appeals to me the most."

{Lycidas' Troubles}: "Even though I'm not made of ice, it still feels as though I melt in sunlight. ...What do you mean take off the cloak? I've tried, the sunligjt on bare skin makes it feel worse. That aside... there is one other thing. The other gods of Vesania... if they survived this long... what if they want vengeance? They're sure to want their weapon back on a leash where he belongs."

{Favorite Food}: "You should know by now that I'm a carnivore. I only eat dishes with meat in them. I like any and all sorts of meat, but I do suppose I have a preference for beef or lamb if possible."

{Least Favorite Food}: "The sight of leaves or plants in my food causes me to lose my appetite faster than Paimon could snatch Mora. I loathe vegetables with every fiber of my being."

{Recieving a Gift I}: "I can taste it. Both the taste of a fresh kill and the offerings all at once. It tastes primal. It tastes like home."

{Recieving a Gift II}: "For me? There was no need, I don't have a need for food to survive. But I'll enjoy it."

{Recieving a Gift III}: "I'm not hungry enough to resort to eating that. I would eat an entire season long before that happened."

{Birthday}: "Today is your birthday, no? I'm unsure as to why such traditions are centered around merely being born, but that does not mean I won't try to make yours special. Here, open your hands. ...There. It's an ice carving of the accessory you mentioned your sibling always wore. It's infused with my Cryo essence so it will never melt. I tried to get the details as accurate as I could. Oh, and I'm making dinner. Sweet Madame to satiate Paimon and whatever dish you want."

{Feelings About Ascension: Intro}[Ascension Phase 1]: "It feels odd, to feel a little closer to how I once was. No matter how small, there's still room for growth."

{Feelings About Ascension: Building Up}[Ascension Phase 2]: "Can't you feel it? This power running through my veins, I feel so alive. But I'm not done yet, it still isn't enough!"

{Feelings About Ascension: Climax}[Ascension Phase 3]: "The veil around my abilities is starting to lift, and I'm starting to understand what I truly am. Of course, as long as this band remains, I'll never be at my fullest potential, but I'm starting to understand just how harsh winter will blow under my command. Soon... I may be strong enough."

{Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion}[Ascension Phase 4]: "We've done it, right? There's nothing left for us to accomplish. I feel the ice running through my veins, and it's running wild like a forest fire. I feel the soul of winter itself beating into my heart, and my entire being is cold. This primal power, this divine power. It's all I've ever been missing. Thank you, for taking me this far. Now, it's time for me to return the favor to you."

❄️[OTHER QUOTES]❄️
⤷WIP

✧*̥˚《PERSONALITY + INTERESTS》*̥˚✧

❄️[PERSONALITY]❄️
⤷Lycidas does not come off as an approachable person. Either in looks or attitude. He has a perpetual scowl that could frighten dragons and an internal loop of feral rage that could put even the Abyss to shame. He is cold and standoffish to most, and always seems to be on guard in some way. Almost like a kicked puppy in his own way. He uses sarcasm and cold jabs to try and get others to leave him alone.
⤷Due to personal circumstances, Lycidas struggles to trust others and is quite paranoid of letting too many people grow close to him. However, as hard earned as his loyalty is, once his trust is earned, he's as loyal as they come. He would do anything to protect those he holds dear to him, his rogue "pack" composed of mortals and gods alike. His icy demeanor finally thaws around those he's come to love. He becomes more talkative, and quite a bit more playful.
⤷Underneath it all, soft side aside, Lycidas is and always will be a weapon of war. He craves violence, and yet wishes for peace at the same time. War is written in his blood, and the call of battle is too alluring for him to give up for any reason. He lives for the clashing of steel or the flash of fangs going for the throat. Those who see him in battle can almost wonder if he's the same cold, yet composed creature or the hurt pup who just wants to be able to love...

⤷Effect: Increases all party members' ATK by 402 and CRIT rate by 12% for 300s
⤷Description: Lycidas' speciality. A pizza with a sweetened cheese flavored with the grease of slow roasted beef, and neatly sliced mushrooms along with various types of lamb, beef, pork and sausage nearly coating the entire surface of the dish. However, as crude as it initially seems, the chunks of meat atop the pizza form the faint shape of a wolf pack running across a plain. Just one bite makes you want to run away into a cold, full moon night.

❄️[FLAWS]❄️
⤷He's not a very amiable or agreeable person. Once he has his eyes set on a goal or object, he won't stop until he's finished. He's like a raging bull charging towards a flag. It takes a lot for him to change his mind about a person. Stubbornness is a bit mild when it comes to his
⤷He often comes off as more evil than he actually is due to his willingness to resort to... less than moral methods to accomplish his end goals. Even if there are certain lines he won't cross.
⤷He's quick to resort to violence or anger when the right buttons are pushed, which often has destructive results when paired with his stubbornness.

❄️[STRENGTHS]❄️
⤷One thing that Lycidas IS good at is combat. If he can't bring someone to their knees, he's more than willing to outlast them. He can more than hold his own against a wide range of opponents, even other gods.

✧*̥˚《CHARACTER DETAILS》*̥˚✧

❄️[STAR RANKING]❄️
⤷☆☆☆☆☆

❄️[VISION]❄️
⤷Cryo Vision{fake}
⤷As a god, even if a minor one, Lycidas has no need for a vision as he can control his powers without one. He wears a vision to avoid confusion while walking among mortals, as too much attention would make accomplishing his goals rather difficult.
⤷Vesanian Style
⤷Lycidas wears his vision on his belt attached to his hip, though it is often hidden by his cape.

❄️[WEAPON TYPE]❄️
⤷Claymore
⤷His attack style almost resembles that of a gladiator's style, mixed with some agile movements

❄️[SIGNATURE WEAPON]❄️
⤷Hallow's Edge
⤷A peculiar greatsword with a deep crimson blade and white ribbons wrapped around the handle. The handle appears to have grip ridges, and obvious damage from fang marks give the sword a rugged and damaged look despite looking pristine otherwise. The hilt flares outward in flowing, yet sharp strikes so it almost appears reminiscent to tattered wings. Odd runes in a pale, glowing gold color with a large font trail about 3/4 down the dark blade. When idle, a dark crimson aura lightly shrouds the blade, with the exception of the glowing runes.

❄️[CONSTELLATION]❄️
⤷Lupus Exitium
⤷"Wolf of Destruction"
⤷Shaped like the head of a wolf with a sword in its mouth. Two stars make up the neck of the wolf, one represents the head, and the final three represent the hilt and blade of the sword.

❄️[NORMAL ATTACK]❄️
⤷Bond Breaker
⤷Normal Attack: Performs 4 consecutive strikes
⤷Charged Attack: Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attacks against all nearby opponents. At the end of the sequence, a more powerful slash is performed.
⤷Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

❄️[ELEMENTAL SKILL]❄️
⤷Winter's Unyielding Fangs
⤷Lycidas spins his blade along the ground, and fanglike spikes of ice will surround him in a circular pattern and create an AoE circle that boosts the CRIT and ATK rates of any Cryo character within its bounds. Those within become inflicted with Cryo.

❄️[ELEMENTAL BURST]❄️
⤷Ragnarok: Retribution in Subzero
⤷Lycidas will let out a howl and turn his face to the sky as his sword infuses with Cryo. The area around him briefly goes dark, and then pairs of bright blue eyes shine through the darkness as wolf spirits made of Cryo pounce outwards. 4 wolves will be summoned that will each strike out in a different direction and will inflict all in their path with Cryo. They will burst into shards of ice upon reaching their destination and inflict heavy damage on any being caught within the blast radius. Lycida's sword will briefly be infused with Cryo after this burst.

❄️[TALENTS]❄️
⤷{1st Ascension Passive} Blizzard's Wrath: If an enemy is downed within the boundaries of Winter's Unyielding Fangs, Lycidas' crit rate increases by another 6%. This effect cannot be stacked more than 4 times.
⤷{4th Ascension Passive} Mark of the Beast: After Ragnarok: Retibution in Subzero ends, any opponent that was directly hit by the wolves' final explosion will have their DEF decreased for the next 30 seconds.
⤷{Ultility Passive}: Predator's Instincts: Sprinting Stamina consumption for your own party members decreases by 30% when near a Teleport Waypoint or Statue of the Seven. Cannot stack with other talents that provide the exact same effects.

❄️[IDLE ANIMATIONS]❄️
⤷For his first idle animation, Lycidas will pull a small dagger out from underneath his cloak and take it into his hand. He will work it underneath the silk band wrapped around his wrist and appear to try and cut off the band. He will struggle with a few little growls, before finally huffing and putting the blade away with a frustrated look.
⤷For his second idle animation, Lycidas will hold his hands out and form a small ball of ice he'll toss a few times, inspecting his handiwork and weighing it in his hands before melting the ball and shaking the leftover water off of his hands.

✧*̥˚《RELATIONS》*̥˚✧

❄️[FAMILY]❄️
⤷Unknown wolves from the Pre-Archon War Era
⤷Andreas is technically Lycidas' son, though Lycidas tries to stay away from him for both personal and safety reasons. He fears the Vesanian gods may target Boreas if they learned of his existence. While his son is a mere spirit of a god now, he knows that soul can still be corrupted by those who wish to use it for their own gain.

❄️[CLOSE FRIENDS]❄️
⤷Lycidas has few people he prefers to call close.
⤷{RAZOR}
⤷Lycidas can hardly be considered the fatherly sort. However, his behavior around Razor is a particular exception. The boy is the closest thing Lycidas has ever had to a packmate or even a true son since he became a god. He views Razor almost like he does with his wolf children. He can sit with him for hours and tell stories by simply reading one another's body language, no words nessecary. He's impressed by Razor's intuition and strength and grows highly irritated when some people in Mondstadt assume his intelligence based solely on his broken speech.
⤷{TRAVELER AND PAIMON}
⤷Not a friendship he expected, but not one he complains of either. He met them, strangely enough, when he got trapped inside of Inazuma's borders during the Vision Hunt Decree. He could sense something off about the Traveler nearly immediately. Something he called "A certain radience... akin to pure light filtering in through golden stained glass in a cathedral." Despite his curiosity, it took their persistence to finally get him to open up to them and agree to accompany them from time to time on their journey. Their loyalty to their sibling is something that he highly respects, for family is a holy thing in his eyes.
⤷{BARBARA}
⤷Not even Lycidas knows how that happened. He's quite the character to meet without him initiating the first interaction, as his grouchy demeanor and general look of disdain tend to scare most off. But nope. She once healed his injuries and he reluctantly stuck around to pay off "a debt owed" for her kindness. But over time, he found himself growing less guarded.

❄️[FRIENDS]❄️
⤷{XIAO}
⤷Lycidas can empathize with Xiao. However, considering the stubbornness the both of them exhibit, it took ages for these two to actually speak to one another. He doesn't quite consider them close, but they can sit and enjoy the silence together. And snow.
⤷{THE KNIGHTS OF FAVONIUS}
⤷While Lycidas may not be best friends with every single member, he can exhibit just enough trust to see them as allies.
⤷{VENTI}
⤷Ah yes, the Anemo Archon and playful bard. In all honesty, Lycidas was a bit... overwhelmed by his shenanigans at first. But these two somehow managed to bond over thousands of years with Venti's consistent persistence to befriend him since the day Lycidas awoke on the shores of Mondstadt with little recollection as to how he was freed from his imprisonment. Lycidas is grateful for Venti's kindness.

❄️[COMPLICATED]❄️
⤷{KAEYA}
⤷Lycidas won't deny that the calvary captain's company isn't a total grate on his nerves. However, something about Kaeya just... sets off his warning bells. It feels as if Kaeya has some story hiding behind his eyes and Lycidas is not a fan. Ironic, considering who else he manages to see eye to eye with. But Kaeya is one of the few that Lycidas struggles to understand and it honestly scares him.

❄️[RIVALS/FRENEMIES]❄️
⤷{TARTAGLIA}
⤷Were it not for the fact that these two somehow tolerate one another, they would have ripped one another to shreds a long time ago. With Lycidas' pure hatred for the Tsaritsa and Childe belonging to the Fatui Harbingers, one would assume it would be homicide on sight. As much as Childe's pride and sneaky demeanor irritate Lycidas to no end, some part of him can muster a bit of a respect for him. Particularly of his resolve to grow stronger, and of his pure loyalty to his younger brother. Not to mention the shared love of battle. Tartaglia often teases Lycidas for being so reserved while Lycidas often snaps back with some sarcastic quip. Usually their encounters result in some long disagreement about who's gotten stronger as of late, and occasionally even a sparring match to prove the other wrong.

❄️[ENEMIES]❄️
⤷{THE TSARITSA}
⤷He has his personal reasons, but due to very VERY horrific first hand experiences, he absolutely loathes the Cryo Archon. Whether this hatred was partially written in his blood or whether the events of the Archon War made her irredeemable in his eyes, his hatred for her runs irreparably deep. He wants nothing more than to have her cornered beneath his blade and snapped up in his true form's jaws. Getting to her is a large part of his mission with traveling Teyvat.
⤷{THE FATUI}
⤷And with a hatred of the Cryo Archon comes an innate disdain for what are essentially her war weapons. With certain exceptions, Lycidas does not trust them whatsoever. In his eyes, no scheme that involves the Tsaritsa can be good for anyone other than herself.
⤷{THE ABYSS + THE ABYSS TWIN}
⤷He is aware of the Calamity with the destruction of Khaenr'iah, however, the actions taken by the Abyss Twin honestly disgust him. Their methods are less than honorable. Particularly, what they did to Stormterror to further their agenda. His specialty may be in wolves, however, seeing the dragon's pain and suffering during the crisis honestly bothered him to no end.

❄️[LOVE INTERESTS]❄️

⤷{THE TRAVELER}
⤷Aether or Lumine works, I just slightly prefer Aether
⤷The last thing on Lycidas' mind was romance. Feelings for someone would only serve to get in the way of his goal. What if he lost them? What if they saw him for what he truly was? That fear leads him to push everyone away when he cares about them too much. But not the Traveler. He couldn't explain it. He was already drawn to them on sight, for he could immediately tell there was something otherwordly about them. And then, several adventures later, he got to accompany them on their travels, and one adventure turned into another. He got to know them. He got to see their loyalty in action, how much they truly loved their sibling even after everything they've done. It was something Lycidas wasn't capable of, but it made him admire them. Of course, he was still himself and got a rise out of making them blush, but it felt... different the more time he spent with them.

⤷{XIAO}
⤷Ah, the young adeptus. Lycidas didn't know what it was about the silence between them, but for once he didn't feel foolish for staying quiet while with him. Hence why he generally loathes social interactions with mortals and gods alike. However, not with Xiao. The silence felt... right for once. And when they did begin to speak to one another eventually? It only deepened whatever Lycidas was feeling toward him. Their shares love of snow... albeit for different reasons, to Xiao's surprisingly good taste in food... and his pretty eyes... and face... and general overall beauty that Lycidas never noticed before. Yep. Lycidas is head over heels for him.

⤷{TARTAGLIA}
⤷Lycidas was... certainly dissapointed in himself once he realized that there was some new feeling growing aside from the usual disdain for this Harbinger. Had his standards really dropped so low? He asked himself so many questions as to HOW this could have happened, but then it hit him. Childe, unfortunately, was one of the only people who understood war. He was the only one who wouldn't turn Lycidas away for his crave of bloodshed. As much as Lycidas hates to admit it, they have more in common than most people would be able to notice at a glance. Soon their fights got a bit more... flirty. Especially on Childe's side. While Lycidas tried to act annoyed, it was becoming increasingly obvious to the both of them that SOME sort of chemistry was going on between them. Will Lycidas actually confess his feelings for the ginger or will Tartaglia end up having to make the first move?
