Pictured with their toddler daughter Evanthe, and baby son Actaeon.
As mentioned in this post, Isai has a co-worker who is A) his cousin, and B) grows plantbabies. This is Saeran.
Funny story actually, I initially made Saeran to be a nameless technician to hang around in the background of some scenes in ORTOS for when I wanted to do a Sims story of Nalini's time there, including her disastrous marriage. Isai didn't exist at this point (and I don't think Nat and me had even started speaking?) and I promptly forgot about the ginger werewolf I'd made.
Then Nat made another botanical ginger werewolf. Given that there have been a LOT of GMTA moments, ladies and gentlemen I would like to theorise that Nat and I are in actual fact, the same person.
Yes, you may now start screaming.
Anyway, with his botanical interest, it was pretty much inevitable that he would be drawn to Blood Dancer (birth name Anaxandria Michaelides), a member of a violent, cannibalistic and tribal race called the lule.
For any fans of Starbound in the audience, you might think that the lule sound a hell of a lot like the Floran, and you're absolutely right, that was the inspiration.
Lule are biologically genderless, although as they grow older they may choose to identify as one particular gender. It differs from lule to lule, really. While humanoid, they do also completely lack human genitals because, y'know, they're fucking plants, so lule reproduction is done via spawning seeds. Which is what Blood Dancer does, to allow Saeran to plant, grow and nuture them. Although that's only when there's a suitable potential parent or parents asking for a baby to adopt. No giant baby gardens. :v
Remember Nyla's sibling Kolya? Well, Liberty is a former client of Saeran and Blood Dancer's.
In their own, native territory, lule are considered fearsome, and to mess with one is to essentially commit suicide. They are great aggressors and tend to hunt in packs. They're not all about the mindless violence, though that is admittedly quite a big part of it. They don't let a kill go to waste, and will use whatever's been hunted for food, or hides to be tanned into leather for clothing, bones for weaponry, that sort of thing. The violent temperament of an individual differs from person to person, and for Blood Dancer that is fortunately quite low, probably given away by the fact that she has successfully assimilated into a human town without being arrested for eating any of the Midnight Hollow residents
Typically, lule babies are given an official, Grecian name (there was a reason for using specifically Greek names, but Wondertwat over here has completely fucking forgotten it...) and attain a more personal nickname later on, that's dependant on their personality. Blood Dancer got her's, because after participating in a battle, she would douse herself with the blood of slain enemies and perform a ritualistic dance. Other personality-chosen nicknames are things like Meatdrinker (likes to literally make meat smoothies that would cause a non-lule to vomit in disgust) and Thornlicker (licks everything. Everything. Thornlicker is a stupid lule). So you get the idea.
While still regularly honing her fighting skills, Blood Dancer has adjusted well to a more human and less violent life, and may even be pushed to admit that she prefers it. She has strong ties to her tribe members and family and is loyal to those she loves. She does still have a bit of a lack of patience and is easily exasperated, especially by Saeran who loves going out of his way to be an inappropriate wind-up merchant.
Saeran is a loveable pain in the ass, to summarise it briefly since this post is already getting on quite a bit. Childish sense of humour (nothing is funnier to him than dogs that look like penises) and a merciless piss-taker. Although having said that, he knows when to be serious and to shut up. Especially around Miles, given that Isai's kept him up to date with all the Atwood fuckery.
Not really found many FMLs for these two yet sadly so I'll just drop this here unspoilered:
SAERAN
Today, during a review session for a botany class, I began to space out. Then, I started to go, "beep, beep, beep, beep." I stopped when I noticed the entire class staring at me as if I were insane. This was not the first time this had happened. FML
Today, I was babysitting my young cousins who are obsessed with Narnia. So to appease them, we checked every closet in the house. We never did find Narnia, but we did find sex toys. Lots of them. FML
