thesilverfeatheredraven asked: Ooo, okay, Erik, Mass Effect AU. 7, 13, and 14.

7. In what or whom does this character have the greatest faith?

Erik believes in the spirit of the squad- the way that they hold together and work as a unit, and he believes that this inspires them to be stronger. Eventually, he also comes to have faith in himself, and in Skuld- he knows that she would never let him down.

13. What is this character’s proudest achievement?

The first time he went out hunting with his dad and killed something by himself. Mralki was very proud of him. Erik keeps a picture of himself and his dad from that trip, and he smiles every time he looks at it.

14. What is his most embarrassing moment?

Erik has one of these every other week, but the most recent is his visit to a turian bar with Basja where he revealed his complete and utter ignorance of all things mating related and Basja had to give him The Talk, because Mralki had never gotten around to it. Erik couldn’t talk to Skuld properly for a few days after that.
