Read literally anything else.” Tenebrinsomnia: Because it’s called BASICS, Aurelis. Aurelis: “Well change the name.” Tenebrinsomnia: No. Aurelis: “Fine. Then at least bold the ‘General’ part so people stop asking if I’m lost.” Tenebrinsomnia: It’s already bold. Aurelis: “…Make it bolder.” ✦⋆✧⋆✦ ❖✦✧ APPEARANCE ✧✦❖ Tall enough to cast a shadow over most doorways. Dramatic enough to make sure everyone notices. ✦ black hair that refuses to obey ✦ tired, sharp eyes that miss nothing ✦ cloak that never sits right ✦ boots that thud because he likes the sound His skin is a tapestry of survival — crescent bites, claw lines, blade marks, burns, and the quiet stories he never tells. He looks harmless until he stands still. Then the scars speak for him. ✦⋆✧⋆✦ Aurelis: “My hair isn’t ‘refusing to obey.’ It’s independent.” Tenebrinsomnia: It looks like a bird nested in it.

A shift in posture. A drop in voice. A sharpness in his eyes. It never lasts long. But no one forgets it. ✦⋆✧⋆✦ Aurelis: “I don’t sigh that much.” Tenebinsomnia: You sighed while reading that sentence. Aurelis: “No I didn’t.” Tenebrinsomnia: You just did it again. Aurelis: “STOP WATCHING ME.” ✦⋆✧⋆✦ ❖✦✧ GENERAL OF THE AERYDAL STANDING ARMY ✧✦❖ The youngest General in Aerydal’s recorded history. He commands: ✦ all regional commanders ✦ all standing divisions ✦ part of militia ✦ all wartime mobilizations ✦ all defensive strategies ✦ all border operations He spends most days in the war chamber, surrounded by maps, scouts, and the constant urge to throw something. He rarely enters the battlefield unless the situation is catastrophic. When he does, soldiers say the air changes. ✦⋆✧⋆✦ Aurelis: “I didn’t ask to be the youngest General. They just kept promoting me.” Tenebrinsomnia: Because you’re good at your job. Aurelis: “I’m good at complaining.” Tenebrinsomnia: Also true. Aurelis: “And the maps ARE wrong. All of them.” Tenebrinsomnia: Stop throwing them. Aurelis: “I don’t throw them. I place them down aggressively.” ✦⋆✧⋆✦ ❖✦✧ BACKSTORY ✧✦❖ Aurelis Veyr grew up unheard. His father, Commander Thalen Veyr, was a man of discipline and silence. Aurelis was ignored more often than he was acknowledged. He learned quickly that quiet children disappear. So, he became loud. He talked too much. He laughed too loudly. He interrupted conversations just to prove he existed. People called him a nuisance. His father called him a disappointment. At age 9, he was thrown into military training — not because he showed promise, but because no one knew what else to do with him. He never looked like he was paying attention. He doodled on parchment. He wandered off during drills. He climbed trees instead of practicing formations. He ran off just to see if anyone would notice. Everyone assumed he was hopeless. But Aurelis was listening. He always was. He learned by watching, not obeying. He memorized terrain without trying. He understood people better than his instructors. By 15, he slipped into the forest whenever he could — the only place he felt seen. That winter, he found a half‑frozen Siberian tiger cub in a hunter’s trap. Everyone told him to leave it. He didn’t. Bloodwinter bit him three times before they reached shelter. Aurelis still has the scars. Two months later, an Amur leopard cub began following him. Thin, silent, half‑starved. Aurelis pretended not to care. He fed it anyway. It stayed. Boneveil clawed him across the ribs the first time Aurelis tried to pick him up. He still has that scar too. His father was furious. The military was confused. Aurelis didn’t care. The cubs grew. So did he. By 16, he was outthinking seasoned officers. By 17, he survived battles that broke older men. By 18, he led patrols better than captains twice his age. By 19, he surpassed his father’s rank. By 20, he became Chief of Standing Army Operations. By 24, he was leading entire campaigns. By 26, he was promoted to General — the youngest in the kingdom’s history. He still complains. He still mutters. He still argues with his felines. But the scars tell the truth: Aurelis Veyr has survived hell, and he’ll walk back into it if he has to. ✦⋆✧⋆✦ Aurelis: “I didn’t ‘run off.’ I explored.” Tenebrinsomnia: You got lost. Aurelis: “I WAS SCOUTING.” Tenebinsomnia: Into a tree. Aurelis: “It was strategic.” ✦⋆✧⋆✦
