Ok, guess I'll put in my 2 cents on some people that Kagato has had quite a few interactions with. Firstly, people that are close to him:
--------------------------
@Mistie is one of the few people that Kagato has a particular soft spot for, the two of them even being engaged at one point (a rare occurrence for Kagato - I think he has been through maybe 3 engagements in his 217 year lifespan, but none of them actually proceeding all the way to marriage), though the two of them breaking it off due to losing contact with each other for an extended time (RL happened, we found ourselves ending up rarely on at the same time as each other, so naturally things could not progress any further)
@Faragan is almost like an unofficial brother to Kagato, the two of them are close, keeping in regular contact, always happy to help each other with any questions or problems the other may have.
@Telperion is someone that Kagato misses having around quite a bit, again he was like a brother to Kagato, with Kagato using the misnomer "Old man" to greet him (which is a little strange considering Kagato is OLDER than Telperion by 3 years...)
@Donato is tolerated, but Kagato has developed a bit of a dislike for him as of late and keeps him at arms length.
And people that Kagato would rather take a long walk off the top of Avechna's Peak:
@Leolamins - Kagato despises Leolamins - though I won't say he outright hates him. Even though Leolamins has tried to drop in repeatedly and attack him, Kagato refuses to stoop to his level and simply chooses to retreat when the opportunity presents itself. (When it comes down to it, I honestly don't like PVP much, which is why I will defend when needed, but rarely make the first attack) The only "positive" interaction that I can remember in any semi-recent timeframe is during the Burning Star event when Kagato had to make a temporary truce with members of the Southern alliance to clear out the Cave of Beauty.
@Silvanus - Similar situation to Leo, though a few times he has been unsuccessful at escape and Kagato is more likely to retaliate due to the polar differences between Celestines and Nihilists.
Lastly, people that just confuse the heck out of Kagato (but not in a bad way)
@Marcella - for someone that is a Magnagoran, Kagato has had very few negative interactions with her and has had a few somewhat positive interactions, the most recently being the Burning Star fiasco and needing to clear out the burning archangels and demons
@Lavinya - again similar to Marcella, Kagato hasn't really had any truly 'negative' personal interactions with her, though has interacted with her on a social level a few times in the past. I think that if they were not in opposing alliances, and Kagato was not a member of Celest, there is a possibility that the two could potentially become friends.
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.

Aerdiya hasn't met @Rykinia in person but heard her on the guild aether. She seems to be an eager and hard-working fledgling and Aerdiya is curious what kind of Blacktalon she will become.
@Morkarion is the person, Aerdiya is trying to impress the most. She looks up to her father a lot and wants to get stronger so she can help him in fights. She often feels useless when she cannot do anything besides trying to hit an enemy and fears that he might think the same. Therefore, being praised by him makes her day. Being a very proud person, Aerdiya is usually reluctant to ask him for help but wishes to surprise him with what she has learned instead.
He said she'd get a rude awakening, he didn't threaten to kill her.

Mork has never admitted this to his Grandfather, because he does not need the extra ego (or is I've never told the player because he doesn't need the.. anyway ) but he is Morkarion's mortal hero (and when Mork's Divine hero is Orlachmar, you know you're in a very exclusive club.)
He might always be one step or more behind the Marshal, but he'll never stop pursuing his goal of trying to catch up, it's far too big a challenge to pass over, and far too big a prize to simply ignore. He'll never stop in his long term goal of standing alongside Ixion as his equal, but for now he's focused on being good enough to have the right claim he's Ixion's greatest descendant. Eh, babysteps!
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!

What Celina means to say is: There are far more secure places to leave your main body slumbering. Sleeping at the nexus is not really advisable for anyone.

Oh yay. Xenthos posted. I've always wanted to share my character's thoughts on Xenthos. I'm sharing because I think the relationship between the two is interesting and developed in a really fluid, unexpected way. Disclaimer: I Xenthos IRL.
It's no secret that Celina dislikes Xenthos, but she has only ever revealed her true loathing of him to one, her wife @Astraea. Upon hearing this, Astraea looked at her like she was a crazy person and advised her to keep her opinions to herself for everyone's sake. It is a penetrating, consuming hate slowly grown over many decades. Firstly, she is baffled by the accolades he receives and the confidence so many members of Glomdoring have in him. He seems to have developed a legend like status in Glomdoring simply for existing for a really long time, much like an old tree or a rock, and she admires neither trees nor rocks and fails to understand why such a trait on its own is deserving of praise for a mortal/demigod/ascendant. She would not be surprised if it were not the fates or his Ascendancy that continually brings him back to life, merely a manifestation of his stubborness and his refusal to stay dead. To her, his other qualities are all rather modest. He is a rather incapable politician unless it involves excessive stubborness, and his combat skills have always been mediocre. As a work horse for menial tasks and mindless chores, he performs excellently, and the Glomdoring undoubtedly needs those. Celina just doesn't understand why such low skill labor has escalated him to eternal Glomdoring glory.
She was never fond of him when she first joined Glomdoring, but it wasn't until the event with Qiriis that she came to develop a distaste for him. Celina had helped refound the order with him, and did most of the legwork in recruiting the new members. After she went dormant and came back to Qiriis, she continued to do the same as she felt neither Qiriis nor Xenthos were lifting a finger, and were content with the complacency of the Order. The resulting fallout and his stubborn refusal to look past his loyalty to hierarchy lead her to believe that Xenthos cared little about the prosperity of the Pack and the Glomdoring, merely that he stayed in Shikari and Glomdoring's good graces. To Celina, it was pandering, which Celina finds repulsive in any person.
It escalated as she interacted with him over the Court, and in various inter organizational interactions, namely with Magnagora. Xenthos seemed to have a personal agenda, an extremely inflexibly, unreasonable agenda, and sought to undermine any progress because of it. It was sabotage, and treason as far as she was concerned, to act against the best interests of Glomdoring in such a way, but he always seemed to get away with it by accrediting it to his loyalty. It was around this time she began to believe that his profound loyalty was but a deeply seflish agenda that she suspected not even he was aware of. There was Glomdoring, the true Glomdoring which was infinitely greater than any plan he could hope to enact, and then there was his vision of Glomdoring which was severely shortsighted and limited.
The final act, when Celina named him cursed by Night Herself (she did this in secret as Queen), was the Xynthin event. To Celina, Xenthos failed two fold. One, Xynthin could have brought about eternal glory to the Wyrd and fulfilled Glomdoring's destiny, as spoken by Mother Night Herself, but Xenthos refused to die. Refused to give up his life so that Xynthin could fulfill the prophecy of Mother Night, and as such, his selfishness was proven beyond a doubt to her. Two, when Xynthin went bonkers and admitted to destroying his own Glomdoring, it revealed to Celina that though this Xynthin may be over a different timeline, Xenthos posessed the same qualities. That he would be willing to sacrifice her, Mother Night, and the Glomdoring, for his own agenda.
There was a vision where Celina tortured Xenthos during the wheel event, and a tiny part of her wished it was going to come through. Though it was a very very tiny part of her because the vision also included the death of Mother Night.
If I was a dreamweaver in Glom, I would just mono my nest and sleep there.
Maybe I already do.

- @Ixion - I have know of him for a long time and up until I
actually joined the ur'Guard never knew him. He was one of those characters
little Arimisia always looked up to in awe and fear. Even after joining the
ur'Guard and Ari was not so little anymore you were still a scary sob! But over
time I got to know you, and you've helped Ari to at least be able to defend
herself which is more than she could do throughout most of her life. I can say
it about a lot of people that at one time intimidated me (even as a player!), I
am glad that I got to know some of them and call them friends now.
@Morkarion I know you a few ways in game, more recently I
will say is helping me in an honours quest, I am glad I was able to return the
favor to you!
@Marcella - You make me feel badly and worry about upsetting
you OOCly! In some rights you have forced me to be a bit stronger of a leader,
actually have the balls to hang my own guild champion, but that was interesting
in its own, never got to see the side of a hanging was always a spectator.
Anyhow, no more, k? thx!
The soft, hollow voice of Nocht, the Silent resounds within your mind as His words echo through the aether, "Congratulations, Arimisia. Your mastery of vermin cannot be disputed."

@Enyalida - Everiine hasn't been very fond of Enyalida for a long time. He's fairly certain there was a time when that wasn't the case, but he can't recall it specifically. He will grudgingly admit that, on some levels, she is a competent leader. She embraced the identity of the Winter Court, which rather shocked him, and she seems capable enough in battle.
However, he almost universally disagrees with her policies and approach to leadership. From the moment she first joined him on the Moonhart Circle, she has had one agenda that she brings up over and over again--dictating the behavior of others. In his eyes, it borders on obsession. It was bad enough the first time, but it kept coming back and coming back and coming back, thankfully defeated each time. He sees this attitude toward others in most of what she does--she wants to control.
He partly blames the complete stagnation of the Moonhart Circle on her, and was not afraid to call her out on it. On the one hand, she exerted her will and influence to accomplish whatever agenda she had in mind on her own, but on the other, could not rally the Moonhart Circle to do anything productive. He could only conclude that she could motivate people when she cared enough about it, and clearly, she didn't care enough about the Seren people to motivate the Circle. The Marshall is supposed to inspire and guide the Moonhart Circle, and she seems incapable of doing so.
He knows full well he can be disrespectful and a thorn in her side, but he figures that someone has to be if she is be a real leader that gets the right things done--and it seems to be working.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

@Ixion - One of the few people in the Basin that Uruk looks up to very heavily and someone Uruk tries to emulate as best he can. When Uruk was a fledgeling ur'Guard Ixion was the one that seemingly took the Loboshigaru under his wing and helped him grow stronger, and that's something he'll never forget. Deep down Uruk always felt as if there was a reason for that, but it wasn't until he had left Magnagora that he came to realize that he could wear the name Kalas with pride, being Ix's son.
@Leolamins - Uruk also has a great deal of respect for Leolamins, as he ones one of the people that helped Uruk quickly become aware of all the things that had changed upon his return to the basin. Whether it be ideas pinged off him or just random hunting trips Uruk always enjoyed the time the time he got to spend with Leo.
@Arimisia - Uruk has a strange fondness for her, not really knowing her all that well but having respect for the rank which she held in the ur'Guard. Any time they spoke she seemed very kind and generous, a quality which not many of the ur'Guard's leaders have ever really displayed towards the perpetual Trooper. Uruk's departure from the Engine (sadly) seem to have ended the few interactions they've had, though at one point he was actually considering becoming a member of her family.
@Xenthos - Reminds Uruk a lot of the former ur'Guard leaders he thinks so highly of, though he's a bit hesitant to actually speak with him. Uruk will also forever remember him for reinforcing his hatred of Aetherships by bombarding him out of a port he was seeking refuge in during an Aetherflare and blowing him up.
@Arimisia. Svorai hasn't had the chance to properly get to know Arimisia, and all that she knows of her is that she has certain connections with people in the Glomdoring, and those relationships intrigue her.
She seems eager to assist in Domoth fights, and gets involved in a number of different things -- but keeps her head down. People who keep their heads down are the ones to watch, especially ones that manage to become guildmasters without much fuss.
@Leolamins and Lillie had an interesting if tense conversation. I don't think I really made it obvious enough, but most of Lillie's bravado was an elaborate farce, and she was inwardly rocking back and forth in the fetal position, screaming in terror at the situation. Still, it was a good chance for me to RP Lillie putting on her brave face, a trait that she's developed under Magnagoran harassment.
@Ixion and Lillie seem to get along okay. Lillie's heard more about Ixion from Marcella than anyone else, and as such Ix is kind of an idol to Lillie simply by virtue of how much Marcella looks up to him. When Ix walks in on Lillie doing something for the City (eg helping during a revolt) and gives the covert thumbs up or the overt "Good!", it means a lot more to Lillie than it would from most other people.
@Arimisia spent a lot of time trying to squeeze Lillie into a mold that she just wasn't ready for yet. So now Lillie tries to tread the delicate line between avoiding Arimisia and proving that Lillie, too, can contribute just as much to Magnagoran society as her more brash compatriots -even if only by using more subtle and quiet ways.
@Everiine I did already, but what the hell. As Lillie gets more and more into Nil and the Demon Lords, the shoe is gradually going onto the other foot. Whereas once Lillie had to put up a facade around everyone around, and could only relax and air her grievances around her father, she must now put on a mask for her father. This distresses her more than just about anything, and in her mind she struggles with the cognitive dissonance. The constant whispers from Luciphage via her symbol (it's canon - well, my headcanon anyway) make it quite difficult for her to keep her thoughts straight when it comes to her and her father. And that letter from @Kyair! Poor Lillie's heart is breaking.
@Morkarion and Lillie seem to have something of a camraderie - insofar as Morkarion hasn't killed Lillie on sight yet, and Lillie feels like she's got a little more backbone from being able to do something besides curl into a hapless ball and scream for mercy under Mork's assaults - even if they're just debates.
The Necromentate's mind opens to you, and a grotesque, demonic figure appears in your mind's eye, screaming in torment: "THE DEMON LORDS CAN NEVER TRULY BE KILLED - GREAT IS THEIR POWER."
You shock a platinum-coloured geomycus with tales of terror bestowed on villages who don't follow Magnagora. A platinum-coloured geomycus slaps her knee and declares that, by the gods, Ptoma Hive should follow the Grand Empire of Magnagora after all! Shouts rise up from Ptoma Hive, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Grand Empire of Magnagora.
@Lillie Allyrianne is entirely astonished by the fact that Lillie is now a cityfolk, and a magnagoran at that. She's rather curious to know what has happened, although is highly unlikely to actually try to find out. She's curious to know how much he has changed in general.
@Laysus - Isluna has always seen him on this pedestal. From the moment she started out as a Moondancer he was someone you didn't want to notice you in a bad way. When she left the Moondancers the first time, she just left, and that was that for the most part. Then when she returned to the Wilde after being in New Celest she got to really know him, and they became very close. Her heart sunk with his first words to her after a long sleep. But she already had gone through it before and knew it was better to be graceful about things. Leaving the Moondancers a second time was hard, but the reality was she hated being there. Hated the feel, and attitudes. Something there just made her feel weak, and dread the very idea of having to speak to anyone in the guild.. Even Lillie or Lyethal whom she had soft spots for. But she had to do it, and the disappointment she felt from him for it, hurt. To this day she has felt that she is walking on eggshells when reaching out to him, but her stubborn side wont allow her to avoid talking to him, and pushes her to reach out to him.
@Lillie - Isluna wasn't sure about this one, she was scared to talk to them for fear they might have a heart attack. And the first time she gave him a flower! That conversation, she tried to laugh at it, but wondered if they had been dropped on their head too often as a babe. Isluna found it hard not to be the bit of a flirt she is naturally, she really didn't want Lillie to get the wrong idea at first, then she started looking to see if Lillie was around. But after a time of not seeing Lillie, Isluna shifted towards others, and contact with Lillie was short at best. Isluna found it really hard to watch, and know what Lillie was going to face with the path Lillie was on. Isluna knew she should have, or could have said something, but didn't think she would have been heard, and felt no matter what it was going to be a losing battle for Lillie. She does still think of Lillie, and hopes that Lillie is alright, but hasn't had the nerve to contact her.
@Everiine - Isluna has some fond memories of him, when they were younger. But they had a pretty big falling out, that had a pretty big effect on her. She doesn't exactly recall the details after so long, but it's something in the back of her mind, like a little voice that counters some of her naughtier thoughts on situations. He might not ever know that in the end he was among a few that had lot of effect on her growth in both the Serenwilde and New Celest. Their falling out really is what made her think about how she was, and who she seen herself in the future and well, it put her on the right path in away. Spending time with him and his son Lyethal was a great pleasure to her, and even now she misses those times even thought they were few.
I know there are others, but it's kind of hard to think of the interactions as some are more from along time ago.

When Ix walks in on Lillie doing something for the City (eg helping during a revolt) and gives the covert thumbs up or the overt "Good!", it means a lot more to Lillie than it would from most other people.
@Arimisia spent a lot of time trying to squeeze Lillie into a mold that she just wasn't ready for yet. So now Lillie tries to tread the delicate line between avoiding Arimisia and proving that Lillie, too, can contribute just as much to Magnagoran society as her more brash compatriots -even if only by using more subtle and quiet ways.
@Everiine I did already, but what the hell. As Lillie gets more and more into Nil and the Demon Lords, the shoe is gradually going onto the other foot. Whereas once Lillie had to put up a facade around everyone around, and could only relax and air her grievances around her father, she must now put on a mask for her father. This distresses her more than just about anything, and in her mind she struggles with the cognitive dissonance. The constant whispers from Luciphage via her symbol (it's canon - well, my headcanon anyway) make it quite difficult for her to keep her thoughts straight when it comes to her and her father. And that letter from @Kyair! Poor Lillie's heart is breaking.
@Morkarion and Lillie seem to have something of a camraderie - insofar as Morkarion hasn't killed Lillie on sight yet, and Lillie feels like she's got a little more backbone from being able to do something besides curl into a hapless ball and scream for mercy under Mork's assaults - even if they're just debates.

You shock a platinum-coloured geomycus with tales of terror bestowed on villages who don't follow Magnagora.
A platinum-coloured geomycus slaps her knee and declares that, by the gods, Ptoma Hive should follow the Grand Empire of Magnagora after all!
Shouts rise up from Ptoma Hive, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Grand Empire of Magnagora.
@Lillie - Isluna wasn't sure about this one, she was scared to talk to them for fear they might have a heart attack. And the first time she gave him a flower! That conversation, she tried to laugh at it, but wondered if they had been dropped on their head too often as a babe. Isluna found it hard not to be the bit of a flirt she is naturally, she really didn't want Lillie to get the wrong idea at first, then she started looking to see if Lillie was around. But after a time of not seeing Lillie, Isluna shifted towards others, and contact with Lillie was short at best. Isluna found it really hard to watch, and know what Lillie was going to face with the path Lillie was on. Isluna knew she should have, or could have said something, but didn't think she would have been heard, and felt no matter what it was going to be a losing battle for Lillie. She does still think of Lillie, and hopes that Lillie is alright, but hasn't had the nerve to contact her.
@Everiine - Isluna has some fond memories of him, when they were younger. But they had a pretty big falling out, that had a pretty big effect on her. She doesn't exactly recall the details after so long, but it's something in the back of her mind, like a little voice that counters some of her naughtier thoughts on situations. He might not ever know that in the end he was among a few that had lot of effect on her growth in both the Serenwilde and New Celest. Their falling out really is what made her think about how she was, and who she seen herself in the future and well, it put her on the right path in away. Spending time with him and his son Lyethal was a great pleasure to her, and even now she misses those times even thought they were few.
I know there are others, but it's kind of hard to think of the interactions as some are more from along time ago.
