Nari Ask Game
14. Is he based on any particular breed of cat such as a puma or a British shorthair?
My Narinder is an amalgamation of different things. I took a lot of inspiration from servals and a domestic medium hair. So he’s got the comically large ears of a serval and his fur grows to about a medium length.
He has shorter fur near the beginning of his induction into the cult because he lost a lot during his time chained. So it takes a while for new and healthy fur to grow in!
23. Are the kits, Aym and Baal, really his children?
Ooh, I love talking about these two and Narinder. I might rant a bit, be warned lol.
They are not biologically his kittens. However, Aym and Baal are his sons in every other sense of the word. He raised them since they were only a few months old. The paternal instinct is strong with this one.
Narinder in my story is very much like his game counterpart in regards to the twins. He cares very deeply for them but continues to keep them at arms length in hopes they’ll grow to become strong and independent. When they’re resurrected, my Narinder rejects them so they will spend their newfound life and freedom apart from him. He sees his presence as their own set of chains. He does not want his existence to bind them anywhere so they can grow and develop as something more than his divine guardians. It hurts him to let them go but of course, he never outwardly shows this.
Although he may not admit it aloud, those are his sons. To him, they will always be his sons. And even though he never says the words, Aym and Baal know how much he loves them, even if they took his initial rejection to heart(which who wouldn’t). I actually have a small ficlet of their dynamic after they reunite with Forneus and travel the world. If people are interested, I’ll likely share it!
Thanks for participating in the ask game! :D
