Atbash's August CDC Tracker

[ATBASH CIPHER.]

What's The Worst Thing Your Character Can Do To Somebody They Care About?

    The worst thing Atbash could do to somebody was betray their trust. She had been through so much in her own damn life that she valued trust. She believed trust was different than loyalty and while both are earned, trust means a lot more than loyalty. You can trust somebody but not be loyalty them, and vice versa. Atbash always considered herself a caring person and she tried to relate to everybody as much as she could, and tried to handle things as quickly as possible. She didn't want to lose anybody's trust just because she knew what it was like. It would hurt, to know she betrayed somebody's trust and it hurt to betray somebody.

    Which is why she never understood why Caesar was so damn willing to cause havoc. He knew that attacking the Shaman would cause distrust on him, if not the entire family. And it just so happened to be the latter, because in doing so, he forced Vigenere to be kicked out of the King's Guard. He ruined trust that Vigenere probably worked very hard for, and then when they were exiled... nobody trusted them. The Outcasts themselves were shady as fuck so Atbash didn't trust any of them, so she was glad they didn't stick around, but that didn't mean she wasn't hurt by Caesar's betrayal. If he had just accepted the rumor, then they wouldn't be stuck in the lowest Tiers of their Dimension and left to die. But Caesar just had to prove everybody wrong, didn't he?

    Atbash's trust in him completely disappeared after he put their Dimension in flames. Although she loved him dearly, she had no trust in him anymore. She couldn't trust him. He clearly showed that he would do anything to anybody that got in his way of his goals, and that was somebody Atbash didn't want to associate with. She just couldn't, because she would be dragged down with him. So she and Vigenere refused to follow him and he ran off, and Atbash told herself that Vigenere was going to be the only one she'd ever trust. But soon that sibling cast her away and although that hurt, it definitely didn't hurt as much as Caesar's actions did. Atbash had long sense forgiven Vigenere, mostly because she seemed to genuinely regret chasing her off.

    So if Atbash ever hurt somebody's trust here, she wasn't sure what she would do. Atbash knew what it was like to feel betrayed and she would never want somebody to feel that way. That was almost like being backstabbed and kicked in the ass, and Atbash would hate herself if she learned that she damaged somebody's trust in her. She would try her hardest to make that up, but she would understand if earning that trust back was hard. Because it was hard to earn trust somebody had broken, that was fact. People only had so much trust to give, and losing it was the worst thing Atbash could do to somebody she cared about. The worst thing.
