Onyx - What are your nightmares most often about? 

“Oh, you know. The usual doom and gloom. My existential existence of pain, suffering and loss. Horrifying traumas. What I have or haven’t done. Things I pretend to be over but most definitely am not. Nothing very serious at all, you know. Just everything that haunts me.” His lips press into a mock grin, and he shrugs, as if entirely unbothered. 

His therapist is not as amused. 

Eventually Caelric sighs, casting a baleful look towards the wall. The muscle in his jaw feathers for a moment with tension, and then he relents. 

“...I remember the distinct feeling of being strapped down to a table. The binds were tight and I had no leverage. My hands were numb. The needle was...sharp. And large.” he clicks his tongue to the roof of his mouth. He looks down at his shirt. Fidgets with the hem while he straightens himself out. “Things fade in and out after that. Sometimes, I don’t see the...doctor. Other times, he looks just like me.”

🌟 - Who was your very first rp muse?

Questions for the mun!

Ooooo yes, I was hoping someone would ask this question! Mind you, I had TONS of muses prior, the one I’m about to talk about was one of the first I truly fleshed out and created an entire world around. In fact, I’ve been in the process of writing a book revolved around she, her two sisters, and the men in their lives.

BUT OKAY. TIME TO RAMBLE! 

(remember, you asked! xD)

Ahem. My first officially fleshed out muse was Jupiter Graves, Goddess of Earth. I’m going to give the abbreviated version of her story, since via docs, it’s over three pages worth.I’ll throw all the info under the cut, because even abbreviated, it’s a bit lengthy. So enjoy!

Thanks for the ask @madnessofthefirmament!

It started with Father Time growing bored in his universe and deciding to create children of his own. And so his first two sons, Kale (God of Light) + Rigel (God of Dark), were created. However, Father Time wasn’t aware of the competition between the two at first, and as things went on, their drive to get more than the other got worse. Father Time then created planets to gift to the boys in hopes of keeping them distracted, but that only made the competition worse. 

And so Father Time decided he needed a woman’s opinion on the matter. Pulling a part of his rib cage out, mixing it with a dash of bone dust and a fresh woven cloth, he would then create a young female that would be named later as Jupiter. She was gifted with the ability of Earth, for she would be the strength of the three sisters Father Time would create. She also would be the balance between the other two.

She also was connected to Kale, for their abilities would benefit one another. He was the Commander, and she was the loyal Lieutenant.

Not long after Jupiter was created, her sisters Eos and Deimos were created. Eos was gifted with the ability of Fire, while Deimos was gifted the ability of Water. All three had their own sorts of personalities, and it was Eos that started everything into a downward spiral. Not only does Eos wake Jupy to her emotions towards someone, but she also almost kills Jupiter in order to please her lover.

And in order for Jupiter and Deimos to save the world from Eos and her lover’s corruption, they must travel the world and find pure souls, or known as “Saviors”.

But to best describe Jupiter, she’s very level headed. She’s considered the tank of the group, but can also fight at long distance. While others may see her as sexual and alluring, she comes off as curious and full of life. Despite being thousands of years old, she is still new to her emotions. And so she has a lot to learn when it comes to strong emotions, such as LOVE and RAGE. And following her story (when it’s completely written and published! one day!), she learns not only how to use her newly discovered emotions, but also finds valuable people along the way.

So yeah! That’s my baby! While I don’t rp her as often anymore, I am still slowly writing her story as time goes on.

I have another two boys that are in a completely different universe, and I’ve been contemplating on trying to move them towards the ffxiv fandom. They’re brothers that are completely different. One ADORES puns and is best friends with cannibals, and the other is much more serious and has a life deep within CRIME. The only trouble of moving them to the fandom would be that they are skeleton-like creatures. But who knows! We shall see.

Let’s give you some asks for ya boy. A   :   AFFECTION.   how does your muse show affection? N: NAUGHTY R: ROMANCE

“I suppose I should have expected this around this time of year. Still there are some of you with the mind or perhaps the heart to send off these letters to me, trembling with curiosity. Or sheer boredom.

“Nevertheless, I’m reading your letter and thus I am compelled to reply.

“Perhaps a long time ago back in my youth, I would have displayed motes of what you call affection. For my mother, for my pet rat, for the arts, for anything that brought me some ounce of joy instead of perpetual fear. As I got older, those gestures became nonexistent and continued on even now as a waste of time and energy.

“Let us not mistake care and concern for affection. Many have made this error and have hurt themselves doing so. Not my fault by the by.”

“And thus this segue into another ridiculous question you’ve given me, Anonymous Writer— If affection isn’t an idea, then romance is far from one as well. The thought, the inkling, the imagination of being romantic is just a fluffy word for reliability and biology. I am not romantic. I do not care for deeper interpersonal relationships with others nor the interest of bedding anyone.

“And if there are those that wish that for me, I suggest spending the energy elsewhere. Like taking up a hobby. I heard carpentry is getting popular.”

“So I suppose in this case, I would have to be a cynic. Not an insult by any means, but I believe that people can care for others honorably and without some underlining incentive. Rare. Few. But there.

“And finally…. this question. My favorite.”

What I am like in bed… Well that would depend on a lot of things and conditions, you see. I am quite situational when it comes to my place of slumber. I’ve mention a few stranger places in this letter, but rarely is my bed one. But I guess I can recall how I am when I do manage to get into the poster bed:

“Restless and tired, usually with a knife of a gun in my right hand, ready for anything and everything. Usually conversing in whatever unconsciousness I can obtain, swearing at them to shut up so I can sleep. Usually sweaty by the end of it all, eye irritated and whatever is left of my trouble soul managing to get up to investigate what’s got me permanently up at the wee hours of morning. Usually someone from the church trying to convert me, but easily shooed of upon seeing me crude, nude, and bruised. The gun doesn’t help much either—”

“—Oh, you mean in bed as in sex? Well only a fool would try that with me. So no one will ever know. Even you, dear writer.”

Let’s go for a throwback... A ginger elf with tattered ears and freckles is standing over a body with a bloody knife and entrails strewn about, wearing a bloodied couture dress just STARES at the Forsaken who interrupted her. “I... Mm. I prromise you, this isn’t what it looks like.”

tw: gore, blood

Remington stared wide-eyed at the elf, a clawed hand hovering over the dark wood grip of her pistol, looking coldly from the corpse to the bloodied knife in the elf’s grip, then back to the woman’s freckled face.

“If it ain’t what it looks like, then ya best have a damn good reason ta convince me why else yer hoverin’ over a disemboweled body literally red-handed.”

(I forgot how gruesome Ero could be ooof.)

There was a furrow to Lana’s brow, a downward curve on her lips. She brought the flask to her mouth and drank from it. “It’s strange. I see darkness in you. Not all of you, just a splash, like someone spilled some on you.”

The words cast across the bar from two seats down narrowly missed the wild hunter’s behemoth-like horns, a hellish crown that roused towards the source of suddenly realized words. A pair of sun-ringed and mildly shining eyes regarded the woman, austere as iron yet unsure as rain. His immediate instinct bristled a hand into action, reaching for the fully-bandaged arm on his left while wondering if she could see through the holy linen meant to seal away his gruesome wounds that never quite seemed to heal.

“... What?” His answer came in a question. A finger picked at one layer of gauze before returning to tend his glass of rum, one of the few western poisons he settled for from time to time. “You could say this of anyone,” he stated, his voice gruff like stone becoming gravel, grating at the ears. He would play dumb, there was no way a random bar patron could discern the fractions of his being.

He smiled a quick, sour grin; all dusky lip and no teeth as he lifted his gaze up in a pensive double-take, surveying his surroundings as if he’d forgotten them before that lambent stare snapped back to the sable-haired woman and held her in appraisal - knowing, predatory, rending like a tiger’s jaw.

“I could even say it of you, touched by something far beyond this place.”

send 💼 for a work headcanon

* talk about your muse!

Well, for work they are a prophet and seer. They have visions of the past and future and can divine things from people and objects they touch. That is their like...job or role in their tribe. Their personal work revolves a lot around a few things:

 Bettering their magic to add new spells to their body.

 Hunting poachers

Cleaning and maintaining sacred grounds

Taking and manipulating aether from the poachers they hunt to further their own power and reanimate the corpses of the dead animals to kill them with their own prey.

Seeking immortality through any means necessary to stop a terrible vision they had years ago from happening (spoiler alert: them trying to stop it causes it >.>)

So, you know. Usual things outside of prophecies, drugs and magic :)

do you tend to write more romantic ships, or more platonic and familial ships?

Also asked by @sola-ffxiv

I suppose it depends on whether we’re talking content for those ships, or just ships in general. If it’s content? I definitely write more romantic ship because of my ship with @velarishiku​ and the fact they’re living their lives together.

In general, I’d say I’ve always had more platonic and familial ships, even when I was a multishipper.

Thank you both for the ask!

The Villain

The bad guys. The mad scientists, the cruel executives, the evil witches and wizards, the corrupt politicians, the mortal aspects of pure evil, and, more often than not, the people (or otherwise) that instigate the conflict and the story. You are a very determined individual with a very strict set of rules. Your mind is mostly thinking about how you can reach your goals and conquer your ambitions. You are often described as cunning and intelligent by the few who stick by your side. You like sticking to the shadows and observing, rather than interacting and taking action.

The Femme Homme Fatal

The Femme Homme Fatal is sexy and they know it. Made famous by Film Noir and hard-boiled detective stories, they manipulate and confuse The Hero with their undeniable aura of sexiness and danger. The Hero knows that they're walking trouble and knows much more about the bad guys than The Hero might or they should, but damn it if they can't resist their enticing wiles. You are seen as naturally seductive by your peers.

You have such an amazing way of words that others are willing to do anything for you. You love to gossip and engage in drama, even if it is none of your business. But besides that, you are proud of yourself as a person and love everything that you are. And you should be! You're fierce!

Send 🍿 and my muse will tell yours exactly what they think of them at that moment.

(For those who have interacted with Ero!)

Rem - “Ero? Can’t get a good read on her. But she’d make a fine bounty hunter if she focused that... just overall...” She motioned her hands in a wide circle. “Weirdness inta bounty huntin’.”

Cesta - “Ey! That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Back in the mercs, she was a pretty good hunter. A bit creepy and maybe intimidating, but she was good at what she did.”

Angrin - “A controversial figure in my life that appears to want to do good, but I can’t condone her past. Is it enough to forgive her past completely? Likely not. But... I would protect her all the same, as she has protected me. She is family.”

How easily does your OC forgive?

You’ll never hear him say he’s sorry or the exact words of ‘I forgive you’ because the few graces he has all take form through action rather than words. If you cross Azu, he’ll more than likely just knock you on your ass there and then and call it fair. If that can’t happen, then he’ll get his payback one way or another.

True forgiveness only happens when he takes the time to understand and decides to go out of his way to make things right, even at personal cost or sacrifice. It’s hard to come by but it’s also hard to genuinely upset him enough to get to that point in the first place.

Character Trope: Maestro Xytaveus

The Rival

The grim, volatile foe of the protagonist, who, through a series of inexplicable events up to and including attempted murder, gains grudging respect for said hero/heroine (and may even save them) and goes from intolerable to tolerable. You're very confident and have pep in your step. People who don't know you describe you as stubborn, but in fact you have a very open-mind. You're able to see both sides of the situation, but it's hard for you to admit that you're wrong. You stick to your vices and never falter, even if your opinion is seen as wrong. For those on your side, they look up to you and value your ideals. You speak with raw pride. You're straightforward and like to get right to the point during most conversations. You are more fueled by emotion rather than logic. You also love competition, being number one is very important to you.

Take the test here!
