Intro
In clouded but piercingly important memories, Lysander was a proud and ambitious boy, scion of a minor but proud house of the big city's North Ward. The "Stabbed Sailor Alley" is one of the phrases he recalls. Lysander was raised with a sense of entitlement and a thirst for recognition, he aspired for heroic deeds and grand speeches, seeing himself as a future champion of the city, even if he stil lcan't remember teh faces of his mother or father. He possessed a flair for the dramatic and an unwavering belief in his own destiny, often practicing fencing or rehearsing inspiring pronouncements in his family's private garden. His last pre-Darlington memories are from that garden, a party and an exotic bird that caught his attention. He vaguely remembers the bird hurting him and he has a bit ov an aversion to birds in the here and now. Other than for Skree, whom he likes, but he's not exactly a bird, right? He can't fly for one.
When Lysander awoke within Darlington City, he instinctively sought to impose order and grandeur upon this bewildering purgatory. He views his role as the internal voice of ambition, nobility, and defiant leadership, ensuring the Voices strives for more than mere survival. He often advocates for grander solutions and seeks to inspire the other personalities, even if his methods are sometimes theatrical or his priorities seem detached from immediate threats. An underlying self doubt often pushes him to double down on points, to a point. He's not "stubborn as a dwarf", at least!
With Others
Closer To: Lysander finds a kindred spirit in Jinx, admiring her flair for the dramatic and her ability to captivate attention, often seeing her as a valuable ally in his more performative endeavors. He respects Elara's vast intellect and seeks her counsel on grand strategies and higher concepts, seeing her as a font of profound wisdom. He finds Skree's mimicry fascinating and potentially useful for dramatic effect or subtle manipulation.
Antagonistic Towards: Lysander struggles to understand and often dismisses Zee, viewing her street-level cunning as crude and her constant suspicion as unbefitting. He finds Grut's brute force and lack of decorum offensive to his sensibilities, preferring eloquence over violence. He often finds Kael's focus on mundane practicality to be short-sighted and lacking in vision or ambition.
