Heey Lirain,
I could help out on the whole being-a-scornful-jerk part (sort of).
My character also lost his brother during a skirmish...and they weren't on the best of terms, so he would probably understand how she feels, but there's no way he'd believe Itzal is still alive. The way she clings to hope is very impractical, in Mitxel's eyes. So, he could play the part of the cynic, if you like, and we could see how it goes.
Just let me know what you're up for ^__^
Hey both of you,
I could, um... well, Iņaki is a bit of a follower, so he might help Lirain try to get onto interloper territory.
Particularly because he wants to prove himself. The others tend to think he isn't brave. Granted, this might not be the best way of proving himself, and in fact it's pretty stupid. However, I could see that maybe he had Itzal were some sort of rivals and he wants to prove he's better than the (dead) boy by rescuing him.
He also likes female attention. A pretty girl could talk him into just about anything.
Stupid, yes, but that's Iņaki.
Oh, and Mitxel, I think you could do plenty of scorning where Iņaki is concerned, too. Or even, later, once he has a bit of a turnaround, grudging friendship.
Who knows. I'm sorry, I'm a tad incoherent at the moment.
