Sorry for lack of response: the thread dropped just as Christmas started and I've been off with family:<br/><br/><strong>Bonds for Lilith:</strong><br/><br/>_____ has insulted my deity; I do not trust them. <= I'm unsure about this one, and feel that Lilith would be more likely to distrust someone who scoffed at the idea of solving conflicts through peaceful means.<br/><br/>_____  is a good and faithful person; I trust them implicitly. <= This doesn't really work for Lilith. But I think she would form a bond with another character with either military or other rank. Along the lines of '_____ is a fine and capable officer; I respect them and will follow them into the seven hells.'<br/><br/>_____ is in constant danger, I will keep them safe. <= This is interesting, but I wonder if Lilith would be more concerned about more spiritual dangers than physical ones and perhaps want to save someone from their wicked ways?<br/><br/>I am working on converting _____ to my faith. <= I quite like this one, especially if it is aimed at someone with a more martial bent. The whole "swords into ploughshares" vibe works rather well.<br/><br/><strong>Bonds for others:</strong><br/><br/>Muse<br/><br/>_____ broke up a fight I was involved in. I was probably going to lose, but they don’t need to know that part.  Whether it's because they're of a patriarchal attitude or just because they're a very strong warrior, if a 'manly man' type filled this bond, it could lead to mingled frustration and affection.  <= Neither manly nor man, but this would fit well with Lilith's conflicted warrior/pacific ideals.<br/><br/>Doomsday<br/><br/>Who has needed me to guide them before, and still owes me for it? (Whether that's a financial debt or an obligation, either one would make sense to me.)<br/>Who is a friend to nature (and is therefore my friend)?<br/><br/>Both of these could work for Lilith - she follows an elven nature goddess, but would have likely had dealings with rangers and the like in her army days.<br/><br/>Kalon<br/><br/>This is not my first adventure with _____. The person who fits in here would definitely have to be either A. A very patient soul or B. Someone who wouldn't mind lecturing a wayward soul, whether that be for her benefit or because you simply got fed up with her nonsense. Personally, I'm thinking this is the only way someone would be able to deal with Excellence on what would have been one of her very first adventures. She was an extremely sheltered noble tiefling, just barely having reached adulthood, with a mildy (*cough*majorly*cough*) inflated sense of self worth. Therefore, I think the only way the other character would want to adventure with her again and vice versa is if they were kind enough to try to look past this until they got to see some of her better traits or short-tempered enough to properly call her out on her bullshit and earn her respect when she realized that their complaints were founded. <= Lilith is definitely working on her own inner peace (with or without chemical assistance) and I suspect Excellence would be a worthy challenge.<br/><br/>_____ trusted me with a secret. If your character often burdens themselves with the problems of the party while ignoring their own issues, she'll listen. If your character is always cheery but hides a certain sadness, she'll listen. If your character has ever done anything that's helped her significantly, she'll listen. And she'll never tell a soul. She seeks to support those who support others. Though she'd never say something so cheesey, that's the kind of person she wants to be for her family. <= I would explain this as an alcohol-assisted episode when Lilith got a little too tired and emotional and bared a portion of her soul.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
