"After some past trauma I was so sure I was done with relationships. That official things weren't for me. I spent -years- avoiding them. But apparently all it took was a chance encounter with Frey and I was hooked. They're so charming and witty, I was practically swept off my fucking feet."
"Frey really is the love of my life. I thought it was strange and scary at first, that I fell for them so fast and hard. But it makes so much sense to me now. As if they were a puzzle piece missing from my heart, and now it's complete. They've left a mark on me forever, regardless of what may happen."
"We didn't exactly get off to a great start. I only ever knew him as Frey's ex-partner before we met, and I was determined to be petty about it. I had made up my mind that I was going to hate him. Things clearly didn't turn out that way, since this asshole decided to be interesting and charming, even when I was being a dick to him."
"Things have certainly become... interesting in recent times. I always saw him as a rival, but after Frey and I slept with him on a whim one night, everything changed drastically. I suppose we're technically friends? The three of us have grown rather close, and I've started to refer to him and Frey as my Tribe."
Friends
"I don't usually warm up to people very fast, but he made it hard to dislike him by being friendly and annoying. He seems to be an important friend to Frey, too, so I gave him a chance."
"He listened to me whine about my problems, and stuck up for me when someone was treating me like shit. So... I suppose you could say he's won me over. I like his tea."
"We met by chance while I was trying to score some drugs, but as it turned out, he was actually someone who both knew Frey, and had done much to help them in the past. I've been slowly getting to know him, but in the meantime, he offered me some easy work in return for free drugs. Who would say no to that?"
"I was wary at first, just like with most people, but since Frey seems to trust him, I suppose I had an easier time warming up. Turns out he's actually pretty caring, and gives some weirdly good advice. Admittedly a far cry from my first impression of him, but likely a lot better than what I initially thought. He's helped me out, even though he didn't need to."
"We've known each other for a really fucking long time. Though, admittedly, there were a lot of long periods with no contact. Back when I was at my worst, we used to shoot up together and fuck. That was pretty much our whole thing."
"Lately, we got back in touch again. He seems to always have a lot going on in his life, but I care about how he's doing. I feel kind of guilty about the way I used to be with him. But... kind of hoping I can make up for that shit by being a better friend."
PRINCE - ❖ - ☆
"I have no idea why this guy keeps being nice to me, especially after his partner cursed me out. I suppose I won't complain though, the people who are nice to me seem few and far between."
"I think the funniest part is that we bonded over our mutual dislike of someone. If anything, that only made me like him more. He also keeps making me food."
ZABIAS - ❖ - ☆
"So this is a bit of a weird one. This guy was the... split personality? Of someone else. Or something. I don't know really, I kind of lost track. Though I think they're divorced now, so he's his own person."
"I don't usually hang out with people like him. You know, the quiet book-type. But he has been pretty chill, and he is making me special drugs, so I suppose he gets a pass."
S'JHIN - ❖ ♤ - ☆
"We used to work together, back before I pulled one of my classic disappearing acts. That shit I do when things get a little too hard for me. I thought I'd put everything from back then behind me, yet somehow he managed to track me down again anyway."
"To be honest, I don't really feel I deserve the title of friend that he gave me. Back then I was pretty shitty to him, all things considered. Yet somehow he ended up being the only one worried enough to find me. I honestly don't know where he finds the patience."
"My feelings about Porsche are... difficult, sometimes. We had a really rocky start, and I honesty wasn't really sure we'd even make it as friends. We just clashed so badly. Sometimes I think things are fine, sometimes I get the feeling things are not fine, and never will be."
"I have a lot of weird friend anxiety, and for some reason it's just especially bad with him. I don't know if it's just something about the specific way he treats me, but I often find myself wishing it were more like how I see him treat his other friends. I can't really put my finger on what's wrong."
"Yul is actually one of the most fucking patient people I know. I don't think I've ever known anyone quite so... I don't know. Genuinely caring out of nowhere? At least not so quickly. He's given me a lot of good advice whenever I need it, and his presence is just really solid."
"At first, I really just saw him as Porshe's partner, but he's become someone I genuinely quite like. In all the chaos, our friendship has been really simple and straight forward, both both of us preferring to be direct. It really just means that we've never actually had any personal problems between us."
ARUNA - ❖ - ☆
Frey's adopted sister. We've only met a couple of times, but she was always really nice to me. She also listened to me have a small crisis about some things, so she's good in my book. No one should have to listen to so much of my bullshit."
"She's important to Frey, and seems to be pretty close to Bastard Moonlight, too. Though I kind of get the feeling she doesn't make herself a priority, or care for her own needs the way she should."
Other
"So he's kind of strange, and a bit of a bastard. But he knows so much, and he's actually teaching me useful shit. I just have to be able to put up with him wanting the most random shit on a whim. I don't talk about him too much, it's kind of complicated, and not exactly conventional."
"I always get the feeling that... if I really need it, he -will- help me, but there will always be a price to pay. He's not really the type to do things just because he cares. I suppose you could say that we have something of a tenuous arrangement, but it's worked out thus far."
"One of the bosses of Sect. She has a husband co-leader, but I really don't know him quite as well as I know her. You could say I ended up joining this crime ring a little unwillingly, but it did eventually grow on me."
"She's a little weird, and a little unhinged, but overall I like her. Not quite so keen on that big spider she keeps, though. Or the haunted rug in her office. But I guess no one is perfect, we all have our flaws and haunted rugs."
"Pascht's husband. He's technically my boss, but I don't know him super well or anything. He offered protection to Frey and I when we were being harassed, so he's alright."
"He also took my side when an idiot stole from me, and I've warded up his headquarters and stuff. So I'd say we're on pretty decent terms, at least."
"Co-owner of the Regency, the one place where I have a legal normal job. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders, and while we aren't close or anything, I can respect her."
"She also happens to deal drugs to Frey and I on the side, so that certainly puts her in my good books. So far I've had a pretty good time working at her place."
"Sahji is so fucking annoying and useless. He absolutely gets on my nerves. He always ends up acting like a little shit towards me, and then complains about it when he gets retaliation. Also, Frey doesn't like him."
"I just end up seeing more of him than I'd like because he's related to Bastard Moonlight. Distantly, I think, but enough that he's always kind of a presence. I thought maybe I'd end up kicking his ass, but I'm over it."
"We don't exactly know each other well, but he's Bastard Moonlight's supposed best friend and neighbour. I've been to his house a couple of times, but for the most part I really just think he's kind of a pest."
"The split personality bullshit he has going on is interesting I suppose, but apparently no one appreciates it when I mess around with his mental stability. I think I like his weird alter-ego better."
Estranged
OYUU - ♡ ◆
"He was the first, and probably most serious relationship I ever had, until recently. Although I hated him at first, we ended up getting along so well, and we had a lot of fun together. We even got bonded. I'm pretty sure... I'm the one that ruined things between us. I did a lot of stupid shit back then, and he put up with it for way longer than he probably should have. It's hard to deal with, when a promise like that is broken."JIHN'A - ◎ ✠ ◇ ⊗ (former Mentor)
"My previous mentor. I knew he wasn't really... a good person. He did a lot of fucked up shit. I just chose not to see it because he was teaching me, and we were fucking like animals. It was easy to ignore the bad things... at least until he decided to direct them at me.
I think he might be dead now, I'm pretty sure, anyway. The shit he did to me though, I don't know if that mark will ever go away."
GREY - ♡ ✠ ◇
"Our relationship was a volatile disaster. Honestly, the whole thing is just a blur of drugs and fucked up feelings, and I feel like I came out of this all the worse for wear. I really had no idea how much this shit had effected me at first. For a while, my feelings about him were pretty conflicted, but after learning that he was stalking my every move for literal years... that's it. I can't deal with him any more. The whole thing left me feeling paranoid."KOH'SI - ◎ ◆
"He was a little fucking brat, but I still grew to care about him a lot. Even if our initial relationship was under weird circumstances. Oyuu liked him too, and we kind of adopted him into our relationship. Pretty sure I ruined this one with my bad attitude, too.
I wonder if they're still together... I definitely feel a little bitter about the whole thing now."
Family of Note
Coming from a traditional tribe, J'takra has many half sisters, cousins and Aunties. J'sahr, his twin, is his only full blood sibling. There are far too many to note here, but the few important ones will get a mention. Currently, he's no-contact with all of his family, besides his twin.
J'nakka Shara - Mother
◆ ◇
The head huntress for the tribe. While not an unkind mother, she was often busy with her duties and didn't really have time for her children. Caring for them was often left to the elder tribe members. She seems to be rather Unhappy.
"It's not like she was a shitty person, but she was never really around for me, so we weren't that close. She was the best hunter in the whole tribe, and people would always say it was hard to believe I was her son, since I was probably the worst. I doubt she really cared that I left."
J'nhad Nunh - 'Father'
✠ ◇
J'nhad became Nunh of the tribe while J'nakka was already pregnant with her twins. They were never told he is not their birth father, as it is not viewed as important. However, J'nhad holds a strong grudge against the male kits who are not his own blood.
"He's such a bastard. It's been years since I left my home, so I don't know if he's still the Nunh or not. Personally, I hope he's dead. Or got his dick bitten off by a coeurl. He's the person I hate the most, and I hope nothing but bad shit happens to him."
J'tahna Fahri - Grandmother
ღ ★ ⊗
J'nakka's mother and one of the elders that was often left in charge of caring for the children. She was strict but kind, and someone that Tak truly loved before she passed away.
"Aside from J'sahr, I feel like she was the only one in our family who cared about me. I always saw her as more of a mother than my actual mother, and I'm pretty sure J'sahr felt the same. Though he wasn't -as close to her as I was. I miss her a lot."
J'sahr Tia - Twin brother
✚ ღ ◆
Tak's older (by 4 minutes) twin brother. J'sahr is the more friendly and outgoing of the pair, but their relationship is currently quite strained due to past events. He currently owns a shady bar on the docks of Limsa.
"I really want to hate him, but he makes it difficult when I'm around him. So I usually stay away, so I can be angry at him from a distance. I know what happened wasn't really his fault, but I really just can't let it go. I do miss him... sometimes."
J'khano Nunh Tia - Birth father
Previous Nunh of the tribe. He only held his position for two cycles before he was bested by J'nhad. He never met his kits, and his current whereabouts are unknown. He was quite young for a Nunh, and that inexperience was his main downfall.
