Ok............. Definitely not trusting tiger! I guess that leaves Apel as the most logical choice. I can't be johann, Carolyn is to in deep with Perran and Gilly, whereas Melk is the logical choice as the two of them haven't really come to blows (yet) and I trust Apel to not screw with my char the most. I would trust you Regal but I know from personal experience that it's hard to make a clear judgement about what someone-else's character should do when it's your RP and you have a certain way you want things to go.
Also, in terms of Irulia, I would wipe you guys out in a single post.... not yet.... That said it has been pretty dark. Arthur's family was killed in front of him, Sera was blinded, Mandan has sever psychological issues, Sam came out as gay as the person he loved died in his arms, Rilinea and Arthur were taken from in front of the group... It's not exactly been the nicest of RPs.
Also in terms of the stance on homosexuality, one of the tenants of the Spirit Changers is acceptance of everyone, however, with something else happening across the world (spoilers!) things might well change...
