Aneirin Infodump
His Parents
His mother was a powerful warrior-mage from a clan down south -like Lucio or Muriel’s clans- who had a very complicated curse put on her. She spent most of her life alone until she met his dad. Her name was Rhiannon.
His dad came from Hesperia -which I HC as being Greek-inspired- and was in the army before defecting and moving to Vesuvia. His name was Kyrios.
His parents knew Asra’s parents and they were close friends. But after they disappeared, they couldn’t find Asra and just thought they moved somewhere else suddenly. 
They died during the Red Plague. It was very sad for Aneirin. 
Himself 
He’s trans! He transitioned when he was young and his parents were behind him all the way. 
He’s almost aggressively androgynous. While he firmly prefers he/him, he loves it when he confuses people with his gender. It makes him feel powerful, lmao.
His poshness is largely forced; it’s mostly a false show of confidence.
I n s e c u r i t i e s - t o - t h e - m a x. He’s got body issues, abandonment issues, inferiority complex, anxiety, depression...its all just simmering under the surface, so he puts on an act because he doesn’t want anyone suffering with him. 
He’s a good swordsman and his magic specialty is lightning! Anything else? Sweet sweet Garbage. (Besides the typical MC skills in the game) 
He’s blind in his left eye from STORYLINE REASONS. He’s got some wicked scars. 
He can see the auras/energies/chakra/whatever you call it with his left eye. 
His Familiar 
DUMPLING. 
Rotund White Weasel!
If you call him fat, Aneirin can and will destroy you.
This creature is so stupid...he’ll try to make friends with anything and everything.
Including the huge doggos that can and will eat him for a light snack. 
He’s just out here to have a good time and make friends. 
This is sorta what I have in mind for his general outfit. I hate that its a female but. (Also, he has golden wrist and armbands, and there’s golden silks connecting them. With a dark green sleeve. He is ridiculously flashy and flamboyant. Also they’re pants, not a skirt.)

Psychology Around the Net: March 18, 2017
Happy Saturday, sweet readers!
I have exciting news! (Well, exciting for me, anyway.) I have the entire weekend to myself. That’s right — To. Myself. Alone. No human interaction at all (unless I call the pizza guy).
Of course, I’ll have my doggo, but she just gets me, you know?
You might be wondering why being alone for nearly 72 hours is this is exciting, so I’ll fill you in: As a writer, I need to write. By “write,” I don’t mean “work.” Most of my writing is work-related writing and by the end of the day, when I have “free time,” I’m a) so, so tired of staring at my computer screen, and b) preoccupied with questions like “What are we doing for dinner?” and “Do you want to keep on with our Prison Break marathon tonight?” and “It’s Saturday? I bet friends are coming over…I should dust something.”
Hardly conducive to the creative writing my brain is craving.
So, when I finally hit my breaking point and decided to book myself a hotel for the weekend where it’d be just me, my laptop, and some inspiring background tunes, my beau stepped up and said, “Don’t. I’ll go out of town. I need to visit [insert friend’s name here] anyway. Write.”
What can I say? He just gets me, too.
I know myself and I know there’s nothing suspicious about this need to be alone; however, I did do a little digging around for your reading pleasure and guess what I found? 8 Reasons Why Spending Time Alone Is Actually Really Good For You, and some reasons that are perfect for my needs include clearing your mind, boosting creativity, and — get this — doing what you actually want to do.
(Not that I don’t want to work or eat or hang out with friends, but I do want to spend some time unloading all my story ideas, too.)
Now, let’s get on with it! This week we have updates on the psychological effects being in space has on people, how vegetables help combat stress, how each generation uses mindfulness, and more!
Mental Health in Outer Space: Scientists for NASA’s Human Research Program released a 123-page evidence report that highlights the both the negative and positive psychological effects being in space has on people. Currently, NASA requires astronauts to undergo psychiatric screenings, supports them with mental health providers during space missions, and has them meet during psychological conferences every two weeks.
House Passes Bill To Help Vets With Mental Illness Buy Guns: After a mass shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007, President George W. Bush signed into law a bill requiring federal agencies such as the Veterans Administration to add the names of “people deemed ‘mentally defective’ to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to block gun purchases. Now, the House of Representatives has passed a bill — the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act — stopping the Veterans Administration from adding those “mentally defective” names to the list. Says Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), “I support veterans and I support veterans’ rights to defend themselves, but I don’t support crazy people having guns whether they are veterans or not.”
U2’s Adam Clayton To Receive MusiCares Addiction Recovery Award: U2’s bassist Adam Clayton, who’s been open about his struggles with past substance abuse and his 20-year-long sobriety, will receive the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award at MusiCares 13th annual MAP Fund Benefit Concert for his role in helping others during their recovery process.
Some Veggies Each Day Keeps the Stress Blues Away: We all know vegetables are an extremely important part of the food pyramid, but according to new research published in British Medical Journal Open, veggies can help with more than just physical health. Eating three to four servings of vegetables every day can decrease psychological stress.
How Generations Meditate On Mindfulness: Generations have used mindfulness practices in different ways. For example, Baby Boomers have focused on holistic benefits; Generation X has used it as a way to rise above competition; Millennials tend to use meditation as a form of team-strengthening exercise. These practices haven’t gone unnoticed and that notice, as well as growing bodies of research, have led various institutions — from companies to the military to sports teams to schools to medical fields — to incorporate meditation and mindfulness for better mental and physical health.
One Surprisingly Simple Choice that Will Change Your Life: This one choice can help you become more productive, encourage others to embrace and let shine their unique light, stop yourself from breaking a heart that’s difficult to mend, and more.

I bet friends are coming over…I should dust something.”
Hardly conducive to the creative writing my brain is craving.
So, when I finally hit my breaking point and decided to book myself a hotel for the weekend where it’d be just me, my laptop, and some inspiring background tunes, my beau stepped up and said, “Don’t. I’ll go out of town. I need to visit [insert friend’s name here] anyway. Write.”
