If Veras were to have a nickname what would you as his creator(s?) say it would be? I’ve been thinking about this for a while and have tried to come up with one for him on my own with no luck because nothing seems to suit him in my mind. I’m very curious about what you have to say.
Oh, what an interesting question! I think his nickname would definitely depend on who was speaking to him. In the case of people who respect him/worship him (if the world ever got back to that!) he might be called things like the Bountiful One, Guardian of the Crops, Lord of the Fields, the Blue-winged Guardian, this kind of vein of thinking.
For friends, they would probably relate either to his blue bird form or his peach colored haired. If they wanted to pick on him, they could call him birdman... but I imagine he'd get Peachy, Birdy, neither of which he would mind. He also wouldn't mind being called 'Wren', which is the type of bird he is!
However, Illran would definitely give him the most endearing nicknames. Illran usually gives bad nicknames to people, but Veras is definitely an exception. Things like 'Sunshine', 'my Everything', though I also imagine he would call Veras some more respectful nicknames to make him a little embarrassed.
Veras, to me, seems like the kind of character who probably wouldn't have a nickname he was particuarly attached to or used himself, but wouldn't at all mind being called different nicknames by different people. He would value it as a sign of friendship-he'd like it a lot!
Veras is the one I’ve grown attached to most, after him is Fawn. But Veras specifically is the one that has a special place in my heart. If you couldn’t tell. We even have a fictive based on him in our system because the attachment is just that strong. You answering is very very very much appreciated and really means a lot to me. I mean this in the most sincere genuine way humanly possible, thank you.
