hanneman's one of those characters I feel is both flat and fascinating, which is rare to find in my usual pursuit of characters who change drastically.
it also doesn't hurt that he looks a lot like Ian, one of my old OCs :3
So Seiros is a dragon, Macuil is a bird, and Indech is a tortoise... would that make Cichol a tiger? (and Cethleann... a kitten?! :3c gives her fishing habit a whole new twist!)
the four saints being based on the chinese cardinal directions gives me satisfaction uwu
so my actual theory re: flayn's hibernation is that she was in her dragon form, like a mindless monster type thing, while she recovered herself. angst everywhere >:D
but the idea of seteth crying over his sleeping beauty for a millennia is also very appealing :3c

perhaps you are unengaged due to more than housing a slumbering deity -- you simply could not afford to.
