Information: Cillien was a noble first-born son whose duty it was to bring honour to his house. He joined the military, and quickly (and accidentally) joined the ranks of an elite group of warriors known as Dragoons, which succeeded in bringing honour to his family. Eventually he was gravely wounded and presumed dead, and having grown tired of the corruption and the injustice present in his home, he left rather than correct that notion. He became a courtesan/therapist/hired-friend (long story, but think like... Inara from Firefly) for several years, always hiding his true identity. He fell in love with another man, but unfortunately his past caught up to him, and he was abducted and tortured for months. Though he eventually escaped, he returned to find that with how long he'd been gone, his lover had found a new love and so he left to start again.
Strong themes should include grieving love lost (but not resenting it -- he's genuinely happy that his former lover found happiness, even if it wasn't with him), his desire to help and do well by others, the past catching up to him, and maybe a hint of heavy expectations he's running from (but only a hint)
I know you have access to my Alex's Discord server -- the first story in #other-writings (What Was Left Behind) is a story about Cillien and encapsulates a lot of what he went through recently.

Information:
oh boy where do I start
Sooo Avymet is from an all-female society, sorta. That is to say, males exist, just... not as part of the society. They come back occasionally to reproduce, then go back to their solitary way away from the females (and each other). The children are raised with the females until puberty, at which point any males are discovered and kicked out. (No, I don't know why they don't realize a kid is male until puberty. Square Enix never explained that.)
Aymet was among the most social of the Viis children, and it was DEVASTATING to him when he was essentially kicked out. He begged and begged and begged to stay, but was no allowed because Girls Only and whatnot. Another male Viis took him under the man's wing, but only for long enough to teach him the skills he needed to survive and protect their homeland. Then the mentor figure vanished without a trace because he knew Avymet wouldn't voluntarily leave on his own.
At this point in time in his story, he's wandering around going half-mad from isolation, desperate for any social contact.
Major themes include: being a social butterfly, a feeling of being rejected just for who he is, friendliness and outgoingness, some hints of crazy/hearing voices/etc.
Misc: The usual not-screamy stuff.
And after @
zetsumei gets one for Jean, remind me to order a playlist for the Val/Jean relationship.
