+ monster researcher

Hello folks! I'm Fey, returning to DWRP after a long long time, and bringing you the mighty gaoler from one of the scariest places you will ever visit in FFXIV, the Pandaemonium. Jokes aside, I'm bringing in Erichthonios and, despite being raised in a facility that handles deadly monsters, he's someone who will need to learn a lot of things when it comes to survival and learn them fast. He can't fight, he never set foot outside his facility and the only things he knows about the wilderness come from books. He's a quick learner, at least, and despite a low self esteem he's also someone who will always try his best.

I'd be happy to keep the little I had in the TDM canon, with Erich runninn around an trying to gather stuff in order to have items for whoever may arrive later. He's just... going to need some time (and possibly some mentors) to learn how to survive in the wilds. Supernatural stuff and the wildlife are absolutely going to draw his attention, too, because he spent his entire life studying and researching dangerous monsters.

I'm available on discord at all times, kind of, under the name _erichthonios_ and I'm trying to get access back to my plurk at the moment after not touching it in years. I will probably make a new one, though.

Offering Five to you for "survival 101" reasons. He's done this shit for so long...

I would LOVE that! Erich is a good learner who will definitely listen someone who kbows what they're doing!

He gets bonus points for ignoring the fact that Five looks like a teenager 😂

You see, Erich has one major advantage in this: in his society 'aging' is a pretty wonky thing and the body doesn't always reflect the actual age. Should Five bring up his real age or anything like that, this boy will have zero issues in believing Five is a much older man in a young body.

He knows what he's doing? That's all that matters to Erich.

There is already a hilarious mix of ppl who will and ppl who won’t immediately believe him and I love this for me personally 🤣

Once he realizes there are people around that are super ill equipped to Deal™️ he might begrudgingly be like “fine. I’ll teach you something just so I know you won’t die of something stupid.” Lmfao. Class act, this one~

The magic of people coming from different worlds! Erich is a weird mix of "I am much older than I look" and "I actually have no experience with the outside world"... so, yeah he is absolutely going to take Five seriously.

What a good man, despite the attitude. And Erich doesn't mind grumpy, his father is famous for never smiling once.

It's truuueee. It's beautiful. I love this for him.

If you can get past his attitude, Five is great lmfao Five is a bit less #Traumatized by his father b/c of the many... many decades of removal from him but like... this John Mulaney quote is actually super accurate to how Reginald saw/treated his kids t b h soooo... there might even be some common ground there??? fjdklsdj

Five can 100% walk in and be the competent one and Erich will follow!

And now I'm interested, I need to check his canon. Also bonding over how their dad messed up with them? I mean, this Erich is taken after his story so his relationship with his father is healing, but if he feels petty enough he may let himself go in that sense.

And don't get him started on his mother.

Oh boy, if you wanna do that let me direct you first to the comics. But the show on Netflix is also pretty solid (some very awful writing choices in s3 aside... still not okay with some of the Things that Happened there ffff). Lemme know if you need warnings for anything b/c the Hargreeves are walking content warnings, as a whole family fjdklsafjd

Five's bio-mom sold him to his dad & the mother he actually grew up with was a robot. Sssooo Moms Are Weird Too fjdklsjfd

I think I'd prefer the comics? I will be honest, I am slow at consuming new content nowdays so anything I can just slowly scroll down at my own peace would be for the best. And no, I don't need any real content warning| While there are topics I don't necessarily enjoy, there's nothing I just can't handle.

Man... Erich and Five shaking hands in the 'I had issues with my parents' department...

They're on ReadComicsOnline! You could poke at your leisure. There are some pretty big differences between the two but the main core is still there in both versions! (and like most ppl who play from comics-based-media, I def use certain aspects of the comics for history/flavor reasons in my interpretation anyway fjdklsfjd).

Seriously lmfao

Hello! It's very cool there's an Erich here--I play ff14 and even though I haven't lately I enjoyed those fights a immensely, that snake lady's theme still gets stuck in my head. I've got no idea how someone like March and someone like Erich will work out but I'm excited for them to meet! March has no idea about magic anything, he's just a guy from the 70s, so it should be fun.

steve both can and can't help on survival tasks because he's a former boyscout that was stuck in a murder dimension for awhile so in theory he knows some things but in practice he has died a lot and that's kinda the opposite of survival

nice to meet you fey!! i am canon unfamiliar to ya boy but i still have deep love for final fantasy it was some of my first gaming experiences ever. i am katy and i just have steve crau stranger things for now!

I would love that and my apologies for replying only now. It's been... an interesting set of days. And I'm glad Levi gets to keep some ammo!

I know. Still... anyway, mind if I tag your open post once I arrive home? I tried to leave some replies but it's time for me to go to work, sadly.
