1K comments, first impressions/relationship meme, where the hell did all of those comments come from so quickly, etc.. Be warned that I will be asking for reverses. Also, that this might take me a while, since yesterday's internet blackout left me quite behind.

Erik, you don't count, you're getting your own essay or something.

I wanna know Charles' first impression of Fenris! (Especially given the uh . . . cast explosion in his intro post. >D)

[mind_over_metal]

WE NEED TO THREAD AGAIN because Charles thought that Fenris was so super groovy. Charles has a huge capacity for wonder and meeting someone who is, like, out of a fantasy book is just fantastic.

Of course, Charles was well aware of the nearby drama that happened when he first arrived. (Y'all were giving him a headache...) And Fenris was being very stiff-minded. But the background of pain and trauma in Fenris's mind -- it's amazing that he's still functioning at all. So of course Charles is interested, even if Fenris weren't an elf, he would still be fascinating.

We dooo and I need to reply to Tatsumi with Tony I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN I just got so overwhelmed by somanythreads. I still have the tab open and everything!!! And then I got sick.

But once I am better and can think again, I WILL PICK UP I swear.

But yeah, Fenris' mind would be absolutely fascinating. It's all twisted up in knots that he's really just starting to unravel, years after escaping his master. XD His character quest in Act III brings him finally to a point where he can move past his slave mindset, so he's really just beginning to blossom as his own person.

And then there's the amnesia and starting to remember tiny bits thing and that would have to be interesting as well, I'm sure. XD (Fun tidbit; his 'real name', which he remembers only once, is the same as Charles' cabinmate, Leto!)

. . . also, I know you didn't ask for a reverse, but I'll give it anyways. o/ Because I am sick and bored and thus feel like rambling.

Fenris still finds every human who doesn't automatically relegate him to the status of a lesser being slightly bewildering; while most of his friends from home aren't prejudiced, the fact is that they're highly unusual and 99% of the humans in Thedas consider the "knife-ears" to be distinctly subhuman, many going as far as viewing them as non-persons. Months in camp hasn't completely erased Fenris' expectation that humans will react to him with fear (because he's a knife-ear with a sword/axe/giant-fucking-hammer) and disdain, since that's an expectation built over the course of years, and not easily put aside.

Add to that the fact that Charles seemed so enthusiastic to learn about people, and sounded so accepting, and Fenris was just like ". . . seriously, is he for real?" It's a positive sort of bewilderment, of course, because not being considered sub . . . human . . . (THESE WORDS ARE INSUFFICIENT, ENGLISH LANGUAGE) is good! So Fenris has a vague positive, if confused, impression of Charles, and will be civil with him. He'd also be happy to talk to Charles about his world, if Charles wants to learn.
