character name ✘ cyrus montague is verity allowed to catch your character's lies? ✘ yyyyyyyyyy what sort of lies might she easily catch? ✘ literally anything concerning his identity as a human being. he's spent years fine-tuning his conversational filters so as to avoid any big or obvious lies (i.e. keeping small talk to where he's lived recently or what his hobbies entail, etc, and only glossing over the details thereof), but anything concerning his background, age, or anything else that would peg him as "definitely human and not a dragon" is almost definitely a lie. (his name is something he chose for himself and has been identifying with for a few decades or so, so it's less of a lie than the other stuff.) does your character wear some sort of illusionary disguise? ✘ the magic by which he maintains a human image is categorized as "illusion," but functionally it's more like shapeshifting. (functionally and practically; otherwise he would have a very hard time fitting anywhere indoors!) still, because it is illusory by nature, i'd be okay with verity recognizing his human shape as fake magic bs. is yes to the above, what will she see instead? ✘ not that i think it would be practical (again) to see his real shape anywhere indoors, but just in case: he is a big dragon. biiig big dragon, with black scales and gold eyes. not a lanky older guy in the least other notes? ✘ nup
