My Name: Rune Saber

My Personality:

I'm pretty chill, enjoying the little things despite the occasional gray days where everything feels a bit muted and heavy. As an artist, I'm always finding beauty in the overlooked—peeling paint, odd shadows, the quality of light before dusk. People tell me I have a boyish quality about me—something in my lopsided grin or how I can't seem to sit properly in chairs, always sprawling or perching rather than simply sitting. At heart, I'm someone who really cares about the people around me. I remember the small details, not because I'm trying to impress, but because they matter to me. Sometimes it surprises me that I come off of as charming to others—I'm usually more interested in what there is to eat or the way a person's eyes light up when they talk about something they're interested in. So yeah, that's basically me.

My Gender Orientation:

Auti-Man, he/him please

My Sexuality:

Physical Description:

At 6'5", I'm tall enough that I stick out like a tree wherever I go. My hair is down past my shoulders, thick and sandy blond, and I like to keep it back in a ponytail so it's out of my face (otherwise it's hard to see while I'm drawing). My skin is light with a hint of tan. My eyes are this bright sapphire blue that people tend to comment on when they meet me. For my build, I'm long and broad with a bit of squish, and I practically live in hoodies and comfy clothes in general.

My Relationships:

Artemis is my boyfriend and Mel is my QPP and bloodbond. Lav, Damien, and Liam are also my QPPs and I see Logan as my second dad.

My Hobbies/Interests:

I draw a lot, especially charcoal drawings. I love to eat, play TRMZOV (Teenage Robot Monster Zombies On Vacation, an in-universe game) and other games, watch shows and movies, read, learn a bit about fashion, and play TTRPGs.

My Canon Backstory:

I grew up in a Larran community called Lotver; my parents were part of the leadership there. I was a middle child, and I didn't really fit in with the other kids (probably due to the autism we didn't know I had). I was a bit lonely till I met Lianna (Mel) by falling out of the tree she was reading under and breaking my arm. She had enough skill in healing magic to fix it, and we quickly became inseperable. Then when we were tweens and I was gearing up to start my magical apprenticeship, she dug up an ancient form of blood magic and had us perform a Bloodbond that permanently linked our minds and souls together. As you can probably guess, that caused a bit of a stir among the adults who knew better, but luckily, my mum determined it was best to let us stay bonded, even if it had been so reckless for us to do so young. In our teens, Lia, Dess, and I worked under Logan as Peacekeepers, helping resolve social conflicts and keep Larrans a secret. Then bonding stuff happened, and now we're basically retired from all that.

My Bond Backstory:

From when she was 12 onwards, I was one of Mel's paras (daydream characters) and went on all sorts of adventurers with her parame (daydream self-insert), Lia. Then she started talking to me and Logan outside of her daydreams, and we became something more than just characters. By the time Lav met us, we were basically munbonds (though we didn't have a word for it at the time—Mel called us inklings after a concept she wants to write a book about). Lav enthusiastically embraced us, which made us even more alive. Now I have the privilege of being counted as the first munbond Mel ever had.
