------------
“You two sure you have everything you need?”
“We’re sure, Xisuma, jeez. It’s not like we’re leaving for good, we’ll be back by tonight.”
Grian snickered as Tommy was swiftly swatted on the backside of his head by Xisuma. Huffing, the boy griped as the group walked over to the portal leading to the Hub. As Xisuma gave the two another look over, Grian finally spoke up.
“Tommy and I will be just fine. We’ll just set up the fliers, get supplies, get our asses back here. Done, easy work.”
“Yeah, easy work!”
“Nothing is easy work when the two of you are together for too long. Just don’t cause too much trouble, nothing more than usual.”
After bidding farewell to Xisuma, the two boys walked into the portal. Instantly, voices chatting with each other filled the silence. The two stepped out of the portal and into the Hub. Players of all kinds here entering and leaving several portals. As the two made their way through the portal transportation section, Tommy examined all the portals.
Hermitcraft
Stampy’s Lovely World
Pixelmon
MCC
Hypixel
Cops and Robbers
There were so many portals to so many places. He had only been through the Hub to get to MCC. He was always focused on getting to his destination that he didn’t stop to look closely at every other portal around him. Stopping in his tracks, he stared at a ruined portal. It was grand and beautiful, but falling apart. It was cracked and broken, no longer activated. The giant sign above it proudly held it’s name, keeping the world from being forgotten.
SMP EARTH
Grian was walking when he felt something off. Turning around, he noticed that Tommy wasn’t following him. Tilting his head and looking around, he saw that Tommy was just standing there, staring. Excusing himself as he pushed passed the crowd, he eventually made his way to his brother. Before he could get onto his brother for immediately separating from him, he saw what his brother was looking at. Making a humming noise, he nudged Tommy before pulling out a large banner. Tommy nodded in understanding, and helped Grian unravel the banner. Working with haste, the two strung up the banner on the inactive portal. Once it was secured, they stood back and admired their work.
GRAND OPENING!!!!
HERMITCRAFT PROUDLY PRESENTS:
INNIT AN ADVENTURE?!
We, in Hermitcraft, happily invite you to join us in the opening day of our latest amusement park, Innit an Adventure! Created by our very own TommyInnit, we encourage you to spend the day with us! Come join us as we make unforgettable memories! Keep an eye out for festival week, and join us for a wonderful night of dancing!
Are you innit with us?
“Looks great!”
“Of course it does, we made it.”
“Yeah yeah, lets just finish the set up.”
Smiling, the two boys set up two podiums underneath the banner. Taking out a good amount of pamphlets and fliers, they neatly set them down on the podiums. Content, the two began to walk away from the portal as people began to stop at the ruin, murmuring in excitement for the adventure park.
“This is going to be a success, I can already tell you that. Good job, baby brother.”
The two laughed as they made their way through the portal Hub. Grian noticed some people he recognized and waved them over, already pulling pamphlets out of his bag. Tommy laughed as he looked around, fliers in hand, searching for anyone who was willing to get one. That’s when he saw it. Gulping, he quietly walked up to a neon green portal.
DREAM SMP
Reading the sign attached to the portal, Tommy saw that only whitelisted people could enter. He was whitelisted. He could walk in, right now, and possibly lose his final life tied to the world. Shaking his head, he snapped himself out of his thoughts and scoffed at them. He liked it in Hermitcraft, he didn’t want to leave it for a terrible past. He didn’t have to worry about permanently dying in Hermitcraft. He didn’t have to worry about losing his shit or having said shit used against him.
“Although...”
As Tommy mumbled to himself, he eventually came to a final decision. Nodding to himself, he crumbled a couple fliers and chucked them into the portal, sending them to the SMP. It was common knowledge that, even though people couldn’t enter, they could send items. With the fliers crumbled up, it would appear as if random passerby’s just threw trash in, making it easy for Tommy to deny inviting them.
Tommy knew that he didn’t want to go back to his past, that much was crystal clear. But what was stopping his past from going to him? If they missed him as if and wanted to see him again, they would need to make the effort. Humming with approval, he walked over to Grian, who was finishing talking to his acquaintances.
“Hey, big man, maybe we should send some of the fliers and pamphlets into the portals.”
Grian thought for a bit, before nodding in agreement. Taking half of Tommy’s fliers, Grian gave him half of his pamphlets. Nudging towards the main server, he explained his plan.
“I’ll handle the portals and the travelers, okay? You go out and hang up banners and set up more podiums. Meet me at Feast Street for lunch, okay?”
“Okay, okay, calm down. I can do this, I’m not useless.”
“Far from it. See you later, Toms, love you.”
Tommy stood in silence, watching his brother walk away. His brother’s proclamation of love had caught him by surprise. A smile formed on his face as a warm feeling bursted through his chest. Looking around, he found some crates nearby. Standing on them, he inhaled before hollering out.
“GRIAN!”
He saw his brother turn around, confused. He felt his face flush as a couple of strangers faced him as well. Ignoring them, he yelled out in confidence through the crowd.
“LOVE YOU TOO, BIG BROTHER!”
He saw Grian laugh, a big smile painted on his face. The two exchanged waves of goodbyes before turning their separate ways, ignoring the cooing noises from the crowd. Tommy laughed as he situated his satchel. Nodding, he made his way down to the capital city.
--------
Things were going great for Tommy. Do take note of the use of past tense, just pointing that out there. Now, Tommy was being scolded as if he were a child again. For Nether’s sake, he was 18! Yet, here he was, being scolded for something he didn’t do.
“I swear that I didn’t do shit!”
“Then why are you being so defensive?”
“Because you’re accusing me of crap that I didn’t even do!”
Apparently, according to the stupid shopkeeper that was currently giving him a hard time, some kids were going around and stealing stuff from the shelves. Due to the stress, the shopkeeper immediately accused Tommy of being apart of that group of kids. She wouldn’t let him leave, even after he explained himself. So there he stood, feeling like a helpless child once again.
“Is something the matter?”
Tommy turned to see a petite woman standing behind the shopkeeper, arms crossed. Despite her height, or lack of it, she seemed very intimidating. At least, that’s what the shopkeeper seemed to believe.
“Oh, ma’am, my apologies! I was just reprimanding this deli-”
“My son. You’re reprimanding my son.”
“Son???”
“SON??? WHAT???”
“What is she doing?”
“NEW PARENT POG???”
“Huhhhhhh??????”
“FINALLY OBTAINING A MOTHER, POG???”
“MUMZA???”
“MOTHERINNIT???”
Tommy perked up at this, peering over at the lady once more. The shopkeeper seemed flabbergasted at how blunt the woman was with her. The woman, however, stayed firm with her stance and gaze.
“You’re son, ma’am?”
“Yes, my son. How many times do I need to repeat myself? I sent him in here to buy some fresh fruit to snack on before lunch, but I now see that was a mistake.”
“W-Wait, no! Ma’am, I didn’t-”
“We will find a different shop to go buy fruit at, instead. Do think about things before acting. Here,”
The woman grabbed a flier and a pamphlet from Tommy, handing it to the shopkeeper.
“You can make things up to both me and my son by telling shoppers about this. Now, we shall take our leave. Come on, dear.”
The woman held her hand out to Tommy, who nodded his head and took it. She led him out of the store and to the street, ignoring the apologies coming from the shopkeeper. Once they were a good distance away, she let go.
“Sorry about that, but you seemed stuck with her hounding you like that. I was going to ask for a flier or pamphlet, but figured I should help you instead.”
Tommy blinked a few times before laughing alongside the woman. Chat was laughing alongside them, taking a liking to the mysterious woman who had saved their little pogchamp.
“Ah, I should introduce myself. I’m Kristin, very nice to meet you! I’m originally from SMP Earth, but I somehow ended up here many years ago.”
“SMP Earth? Holy shit, I’m from there, too! I’m Tommy, by the way. Well, my actual name is Thomas, but everyone calls me Tommy. I’m from Business Bay, but I eventually became the youngest prince of the Antarctic Empire.”
“Youngest prince? Are you Phil’s brother?”
“What? Nah, he adopted me as his son.”
Tommy was startled as the woman, Kristin, began choking on air. Alarmed, he pat her back as he gave her a water bottle he had on him. After a while, she raised her hand and nodded, indicating that she was okay.
“Wow, he has a son. The world is ending, hah.”
“Four, actually. He has four sons.”
“Oh my god, I’m going to have a heart attack.”
Tommy laughed before asking what was on his mind. Judging by the breezy feeling that moved across his starry face, he knew that Clara led this woman to him.
“How do you know Phil?”
Kristin’s face brightened up as a small blush painted her cheeks.
“Er, how about I tell you about it as we walk?”
“Better yet, why don’t you tell me and my older brother about it over lunch?”
--------
Grian was not expecting Tommy to come back with an older woman. He didn’t mind, however, after hearing how she saved his brother from the shopkeeper’s rage. Laughing, he ruffled the younger boy’s hair.
“Haha, you found a mother!”
“We’re brothers, so wouldn’t that make her our mother? Sheesh, dumbass.”
Kristin laughed out loud in the background, holding her stomach and she doubled over. Tommy happily smiled, very glad to have someone appreciate his language. Once they all gave proper introductions and a reason as to why Kristin was with them, they all got food and sad down at one of the outside tables. After getting a few decent bites into their meals, Tommy spoke up.
“So, how do you know Phil?”
“Ah, yes, that old fart-”
She smiled as both boys snorted at that statement. Taking a bite out her bread roll, she waited for them to settle down before. Nodding her head, she continued.
“It’s true, he is! Anyways, I knew him when I lived back on SMP Earth. I was, well, am the princess of a smaller kingdom back there. Phil’s parents had started a small kingdom of their own, the Antarctic Empire. My parents, along with his, arranged for the two of us to be married to one another. I would have usually thrown a fit at an arranged marriage, like I always did when they brought up suitors, but Phil and I actually liked each other, so we agreed. I disappeared before the wedding, however, fell through my mirror and into a hardcore world. Once I made it out of there, I ended up here. Been here ever since.”
Grian started choking out of surprise. Tommy and Kristin both moved quickly to help him, worried. Once he gave them a sign that he was okay, he adjusted himself.
“You’re Queen Kristin?”
“Queen?”
“Yeah. I read it in one of the books in the archive when I was younger. Although you disappeared, you were still married to my dad, and the two kingdoms were merged into one.”
“What?”
Kristin stared at Grian, confusion and disbelief painted her face. Suddenly, she groaned and hit her head against the table.
“This explains why some of the things I bought took way too long to finalize! My last name has been Minecraft this entire time!”
Tommy and Grian shared a look of disbelief. This was the only thing she was concerned about? Being married to Phil wasn’t troubling or shocking news to her at all! Suddenly, Tommy’s eyes widened as he gasped, pointing at Kristin.
“WHAT THE FUCK?! THAT MAKES YOU MY ACTUAL MOTHER.”
--------
Kristin helped them finish setting up banners and podiums. She also aided them in passing out fliers and pamphlets to passing people. Once they ran out, she walked them over to the Hub. As they stood at the entrance portal to Hermitcraft, Tommy hugged Kristin, who ran her fingers through her head. She may have been new to the whole mother thing, but her caring instincts were enough to comfort the young boy.
“I wish I could come, I really do, but I’m not on the list. I’ll have to wait until opening day.”
Before Tommy could whine, Grian spoke up.
“What if we got you on the list? Would you move in, then?”
Kristin laughed as she pat Grian’s shoulder, a smile painting her face.
“Of course! I just found out I had family! You guys aren’t getting rid of me that easily. Here, take this. If you guys get me on the list, use this to get to my house.”
Tommy brightened up as he was given a compass labeled Kristin. He nodded as Grian promised.
“Bye Kristin! See you around!”
“Bye Tommy, Grian, I’ll see you two soon.”
The boys watched as she walked away, a pep in her step as disappeared into the crowd. Nodding to each other, Tommy and Grian went home.

WoW Q and A
Elaborate on the Chains of Domination cinematic: Story of Anduin and Sylvanas/relationship with the jailer is foundational to Shadowlands. Anduin was dominated. Jailer needed someone like Anduin to be able to walk into Bastion and claim the key. Brief moment of Anduin gaining control in cinematic, so still in there. Chains of Domination will explain more.
When he (Anduin) walks past Uther, did Uther know what was happening or did he feel bad? Couple things going on. His hand touches his wound, made by a weapon of the maw. Uther recognized on some level that power, as well as stirring memories seeing this blonde, kingly figure. Confrontation with Sylvanas in the raid one of the biggest moments in WoW.
Moving from classic to BC while keeping a copy. Whats it going to look like for gold, items/banks. Am I going to see differences or is it two separate entities for all time? Logging in at pre patch will snap a copy of your character. There will be an option to move onto BC classic, or stay in vanilla classic. Can pay a fee and activate “clone” to put them on BC classic if you choose to stay Vanilla. Beta is around the corner.
How will high population numbers be handled in TBC classic? How will you handle bottlenecks, sharding, dailies etc. Recognize high population, want to make sure experience is enjoyable. Optimization improvements to help stabilize servers. Experience of rare material and multiple people going is part of the game. Willing to make targeted changes if there is particular problems.
Will there be more race/class combinations? Player agency and choice is major theme. Customization key, but also want to reinforce differences. Want to maintain a world that doesn’t have exact symmetry. Have gone back over the years to change things. For now, think they’ve gone about far enough. Nothing planned, but never say never.
Surprise on Covenant armor? Based on heritage armor. Pure aesthetic, want to give players more and more options. Gameplay reasons to not tmog the entire range (warrior wearing cloth for example)
Workflow change during pandemic? Happened very suddenly. Team reached to each other to find comfort. The isolation found purpose for devs. Making Shadowlands/games help to reconnect friends and people.
Any plans to address faction imbalance? What happened to cause it? Something talked about a lot. Know there’s a very real problem, particularly high end. What caused the problem? Imbalanced in racials allowed to persist too long. At this point, don’t think racials are imbalanced. People staying Horde however due to social reasons now; compounded issue from all the way back from MoP etc. No real answer. Social issue requires social answer.
Have you ever seen a swing in either faction direction due to story elements? Across the game as a whole, faction balance is pretty good. Its raiding/high end PvE that the imbalances really emerge. Have seen faction switches/more cross faction alts in BfA for example.
If I play BC, when I decide to play on main char and a classic era realm at 60, will I have to name change? You have your name in both places. Ensure people don’t park on names forever.
Any plans to connect more realms? Had to do survey across all populations in all realms. Essentially have to copy an entire realms database onto another. Not a flip a switch thing, lot of work. Have been able to address a large amount of the very low pop. realms. Had to pause for Shadowlands launch due to launch and Shadowlands had huge effects on server populations. Last time they connected realms was right before WoD, and realms had a LOT of queue problems. Watching and waiting for populations to go down before making the jump.
Never gonna have cross faction raids, dungeons etc? Not gonna say never. Essential to hold onto identity but...
Will our amount of Anima be increased later? Is it possible for sanctum upgrades to be account wide? Lot to collect. Hotfixed Anima drops so far. Looking for new sources of Anima for next patch. Over all looking at the costs. Cosmetics are generally account wide. Anima is designed to span the bulk of Shadowlands.
Sire Denathrius is an eternal one and imprisoned. What will he do? Will we see him again? Best laid plans can adapt. During BfA, intended Bwonsamdi to be a one off. There, but no big deal. Once they heard the VA they went “we need more of this character”. Planned for Sire Denathrius to be there, you kill him w/e. Then heard the VA and went “this guys awesome we love him.” Changed plan to keep Sire Denathrius alive. Will find some other role for him to take. Watch fan feedback to see how community responds/gravitate to. He is in that sword, there may just be allies of him that would be interested in liberating him from the sword...
When will we see more Heritage Armor? As each one was released, got more and more excited from response/enhanced feel of the game. Working on further Heritage Armor. Some coming to near future updates, some more in the future.
Any plans to bring back the AH app? Not as you know it perse. It got turned into a lot of automation. Revamp removed app, then change of the AH. Meant to be more of a socialize thing then accumulation of gold by automated system. Recognize however convenience factor. Consider getting back into some form, but not like how it used to be.
Will there be more new character customization options for Shadowlands? None in Shadowlands. Tend to be fairly big projects. Release them when it’ll be very good for players. Lot of work to juggle. Felt like they got good feedback and support from it. Want to invest going forward when it makes sense.
What are actual requirements for flying in Shadowlands? Where can we fly? Can we fly across the realms? Shadowlands pathfinder no rep grind. Just requires completing full covenant campaign (9.0 and 9.1). Cannot fly from zone to zone. Once unlocked, alts will be able to fly freely.
In the BC classic, will there be class tuning that would make it notably different than 2007? Broadly no. Want to keep the authentic behavior of final patch, like classic had. Seal of blood
Is there work being done on new Torghast Anima Powers for later patches? Spec specific, when can we see? WIll be done through all patches/future patches. new powers etc. As for powers working outside Torghast, keep OP nature of them inside Torghast.
Difference between passage of time in Shadowlands and in Azeroth? Salanar the Horseman in DK order hall said he was in the veil for what felt like days and it was between WoTLK and Legion. Meet characters for whom time doesn’t seem to have meaning. What is time a construct of? Order. On Azeroth, understand the passage of time because of influence of titans/order. Outside of the influence of order, time loses meaning. A lot more fluid. Shadowlands about eternities. Can have it perceived differently by different characters even going through same thing.
Bringing back 10-man content, either as different difficulty or different instances for smaller groups to tackle. All raid basically is/can be 10 man. These days its the 5 player mega dungeons that fill the role. In BC, ZA and Kara filled that niche of the smaller group doing the BIG, raid like content. Fulfills the spirit of 10 man content.
Will summoning stones be available at launch of BC or come later? Will have them at launch.
What’s Bolvar up to and where is his story going? Will he have a major role to play? One of the fun parts of Shadowlands was getting Bolvar back into the mix. We saw him be pivotal in Torghast and getting into Shadowlands. Saw there was a price to pay for visions with Torghast. He will be front and center in Chains of Domination. Good rallying figure.
In BC, how will pvp titles be handled without battlegroups? Originally, reward was made for the best player in each battlegroup due to technical reasons. Now that they have better technology, fair way is % based, though still want to keep it small amount.
In Stormwind, Darnassus refugees mention going back once the smoke clears. Does this mean Teldrassil can grow back and become habitable again? The damage was pretty definitive/lot of lives lost. Don’t want to reverse on a whim. The story of the souls of the Night Elves however is not yet done, nor is Tyrande’s story going into Chains of Domination and beyond.
Will fresh classic servers be added in addition to TBC servers? For the timeline of BC classic, no new classic servers. Eyes on it however for the future. Will discuss once BC launches.
How do you get the Wandering Ancient Mount? Got to have Shadowlands. Will be in 9.0.5 patch update next month (March).

I'll be honest. I haven't been on this site for probably five, six years? Ever since the great purge that drove off almost everyone and almost collapsed Tumblr's userbase I haven't had much of a reason to be on here.
Pretty much everyone moved on to the equally bad for you Twitter, including myself. I really don't know if this will generate any traction on here... but, posting on a site that -- at least at one time -- was a hub of diversity and very important for my own discovery of who I am and my own bisexuality, might be a successful and good idea.
I occasionally still get emails and notifications saying that someone (ironically almost always a bot posting the very things Tumblr banned -- not sure if I can even say the word without getting blocked) has followed this account. So, I don't think that this will get a massive amount of traction... I think the majority of people who followed me went the way I did and just abandoned their accounts, letting them get covered with dust. But, it'd be foolish for me not to bother just in case this can get traction.
So, with that out of the way, I've started posting a novel onto Wattpad and Goodreads. The Wattpad one is linked on this post, the Goodreads one is linked on my profile.
I would be extremely grateful if you could check it out and let me know what you think. I know there was a lot of fandom activity on this site before the purge, so I hope some of that excitement is still here and still willing to try some new things.
And now, a description of the novel:
In 2024, the Deva Software Corporation releases the Samsara Virtual Reality Headset alongside their flagship title: The Pure Lands, a Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (VRMMORPG for short). This single release promises to revolutionize gaming and the way we interact with others online.
By October of that same year, Leon Cris is College graduate with no plan, no career, and overall no prospects outside of his mysterious "uncle Rick" who's bankrolled his life so far. For his twenty-second birthday, this unknown "uncle" gifts him the Samsara Headset with a note telling Leon to "Come Find Him" in a specific server on the game, a role-playing only server.
Now Leon has to navigate the player-created world of the game, dozens of new influences on his life in the forms of friends, inspirations, and allies, forge connections, and meet the father he never knew, all while figuring out what he wants to do in life outside of this new game.
Inspired by hit works of fiction like Hunter X Hunter, Sword Art Online, She-Ra: Princesses of Power, Black Clover, One Piece, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the works of Studio Ghibli and more, while also taking thematic inspiration from religions such as Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, "Come Find Me" is a story about living your life to the fullest and finding a family that will help you do that.
Please take a look and enjoy. There are 40 chapters so far, and more to come every week.

SEPHIROTH
— relationship & plotter call.
hello lovely isolians! it’s been actually ages since i made my first one, or my second one, so i’m coming back with new vigour & hopefully some new ideas to tempt you all into friendship ( or...enemy...ship) with sephiroth!
so liking this post means that you are 100% down with interacting with me in some fashion! ways this might happen may be...
→ me sending you im’s / tumblr asks to plot or chat! i can be quite a talkative person as a forewarning, as i love discussing rp things as well as getting to know my rp partner!
→ if we are already friends on discord or twitter, i might message you that way to ask you about plots or ideas or to run things by you.
→ exchanging ask memes / meme day things that might be a bit more personal than a general sentence meme.
→ possible random starters or musings dedicated to your muse, sometimes i get sudden inspiration for these things! i will always check first that you’re okay with taking on a new thread, but yes this is for just... if i get inspired & want to put something up for you!
→ general tomfoolery and shenanigans in character ( and ooc if you like )
you can contact me via the im system here, by the /ask feature or you can ask for my discord/twitter if you prefer those. just let me know. discord is the most private however so we’d need to chat a bit more elsewhere first just for my comfort! i am in the isola discord sever however so we can totally talk in that server for a bit too!
FRIENDS.
↪ honestly friendships aren’t typically on the agenda for him. he is arrogant beyond belief and considers everyone to be weaker than him or to some degree unworthy of his time or energy. he really does not have any interest emotionally in anyone besides himself, instead he is far more likely to use and discard people when they are no longer needed.
HOWEVER, in 2020 sephiroth underwent quite a big character development stage, essentially his long-term goal came to a head and it backfired pretty back when he got all his powers back, so while he’s super strong again now, he’s also semi-content (i guess) with living in isola for a while, if only so he can figure out how the multiverse works (meta, i know). he talks to people now (wow!) and engages in mostly philosophical conversations, about... life. death. etc.
↪ i am down to... vague villain-alliance type deals with fellow power players here. he wont consider your muse a friend, but rather a pawn or even a means to an end, that end being his goal of generally using this island for his means, apologies. preferably the intellectual, over-powered, edgy types will probably gravitate towards him more, but i’m willing to throw anything at the wall to see what sticks. he’s not a nice guy, by any means, but it would be interesting to see how he has to play the game here to his advantage until he regains powers.
i especially would like to interact with other villains who are kind of just chilling, maybe they’re veterans in spirale also and they can share a glass of wine over watching all the citizens running around like ants. we could also do a murder if you are into that.
↪ there are some cases where he might engage in conversation with non-villain types and these would likely be far more dialogue-heavy threads including metaphorical topics or debates. the conversations of life, death, mortality, good vs evil, frailty of existence, legacy, power and corruption, calamities, birthright and betrayal are just some of the topics possible to arise in discussion. that being said, whilst these topics would be of interest to him, the character themselves must meet his standard of what he considers worthy of his time eg. those just willing to argue with him will bore him whereas someone curious to his nature might be treated to an actual conversation.
over time this has opened up into most people being capable of talking to him. he has less patience for over-eager plucky types, but anyone with a respectable manner who likes talking a lot will probably find an interesting conversation partner in this... ONLY SLIGHTLY CHILLED sephiroth. he’s not totally chill, he’s just a lil chill.
↪ warriors, outcasts, villains, intellectuals, fellow puppet-master type villains especially, those he ‘befriended’ in past events, perhaps even neighbours to his castle would all be likely connections. friends of those he has worked alongside or met, or those wishing to seek great power and know of his existence might seek him out also, but yes... ““““friends”“““ is a very difficult term for him. he’s getting better.
→ his most recent developments see him as a far more casual version of his canon self, over a year of living as close to a “domestic life” as possible have meant that whilst he is aloof and cold, he is also far more likely to be out and about, buying wine at some creepy gas station at 4:30am for example. he chats when he’s in the mood and might even stick around to cause some chaos for the sake of boredom eating him alive. so whilst he is still very much a dangerous inhabitant here in spirale, sephiroth is currently Domesticated somewhat.
ENEMIES.
↪ heroes of all shapes and sizes might feel threatened by the ominous presence of a monster who seems inclined to side with chaos as opposed to peace. he’s not outright starting fires here but he is present in the more morbid moments of isolian discourse, an omen of death lingering on the sideline. he has his plans and he may just mock you with them, but in general since he does and WILL cut down npcs ( or players ) alike, he makes for the perfect villain. BE WARY he has all of his powers unlocked and knows the island well. fighting him would not guarantee your victory, especially if you are a freshly applied character.
in feb 2020 he almost brought chaos to spirale too so i’m sure anyone holding a grudge or wary of a potential threat like that would be very aggro towards him.
↪ he has traumas. plenty of them. some of them originate from labs and white coats, meaning he might just view you as an enemy if you’re a scientist or someone who dabbles in human experimentation. his reasons are his own, but let’s just say that if you consider him a good candidate for poking and prodding with scientific equipment, you may just lose an arm.
↪ i LOVE fight threads especially really gritty, bloody types. i would prefer to plot these out so we know what’s going on beforehand, but feel free to develop these with me honestly i love a good old classic villain hero showdown. he’s less likely to get into these without a good reason but if we do one, the winner is randomly determined via generator to make it fair if your character is also uncapped!
→ police/law enforcers/general crime stoppers might remember him for causing a bit of trouble in the past! insert how bad me be gif. try and ??? get him to apologise i guess. arresting sephiroth sounds like the plot of a funny movie.
LOVERS.
↪ this man has a bf now, can you believe it? 2021...isola gay rights.
MISC.
↪ pawns and such would be a fun dynamic later. his general presence is pretty terrifying, so it wouldn’t be a stretch if you have an appropriate muse for them to be fearful enough to carry out some little tasks for him. this might be more common later on, but i’m down to discussion for it currently!
↪ places you may find him can include:
↪ near his residence ( personal housing; castle in the mistwood )
↪ fibonacci ward ( levels 3 and 4 especially due to the museums and things. but also the lowest levels, he tends to wander around there as if searching for something... feel free to try and figure out what it is )
↪ golden ward ( the university if only to borrow books from the library, he can read there for days at a time without sleep or food. he reads all kinds of things, both fiction and non fiction. )
↪ archimedes ward ( pretty much everywhere in this ward, it’s my favourite. he enjoys music and art sometimes. hit me with that biblical shit. )
↪ the mistwood ( 100% down to be that cryptic creature that leads you from your path to your likely doom )
↪ the city of yesteryear ( typically the underground areas, just investigating really. any strange occurrences would likely draw him there as would any presence of a strong power. )
↪ atop skyscrapers, looming at the ‘edge’ of the world we can currently explore, typically more active at night, perhaps at the scene of a murder / attack ( plotted ), if he’s feeling extra ballsy he might be found in a bar but its very rare. very VERY rare, wandering broken buildings, invading scientific facilities or buildings. he’s not going to be found in busy, socially strained areas basically.
↪ i’m down for any ideas you might have too for plots so feel free to just message me if nothing here caters!

Fallout OC Companion Meme
Ok so I’m redoing this and adding perks and personal quests. General is up top, companion quest is under cut.
Name: Emilia Vazquez
Location: Atomic Wrangler
Emilia can be hired as a companion after completing the side quest “Strangers in the Fight”
(art by @courierspikeee)
Companion Wheel
I think we should travel together: “Oh, you really want me to come along? No promises I’ll behave.”
Use Melee: “So you want to see an old lady get her ass beat. Haha, so would I.”
Use Ranged: “Don’t worry if I disappear, you don’t have to see me to know I’m still around.” / “Good idea, the further I am the better I work.”
Open Inventory: “Ayayay! Use your own pockets and don’t bum off me!” / “Ah, the Lord has blessed me with a companion that will carry my shit for me— no? Well, worth a try.”
Stay Close: “Trust me, you do not want me up your ass”
Keep Distance: “Listen, whatever you’re smelling, it wasn’t me”
Stealth: “Aah, my specialty.”
Back Up: “Oh? You want to stand here? Fine.” / “My knee only works in so many directions, mijo/a”
Be Passive: “Your call, but when things get hairy I’m doing best for me.” / “If I hear shots, I will start shooting. Never doubt this.”
Be Aggressive: “Shoot them before they shoot us? That’s the most sound thing I’ve heard from you.” / “Good, they’ll be dead before they even know we’re there.”
Use Stimpack: “You ever need anything stronger, hahaha, you let me know...” // “Aaah...I could use another of those.”
Wait Here: “If that’s what you want. No promises I’ll still be here when you come back.” // “If I bore you, just say so.”
Follow Me: “Oh so now you want me back.”
Send her to the Lucky 38: “Perfecto. I’ve been wanting a shower.”
Send her Home: “Alright, you know where to find me.” (can be found in the atomic wrangler)
Injured: “Aagh, my other knee—!” / “I’m not getting paid enough for this...”
Death: (before personal quest) “I can’t...not yet...” / “Aaah, sorry Camila.” -- (after personal quest) “Always knew I’d die on the job—“ / “Mi renacuajita— mama will see you soon.”
Aggression: aggressive
Confidence: brave/foolhardy
Assistance: helps friends and allies
Perks
Like the other companions, Emilia has a starting perk that is replaced by another depending on how the player completes her personal quest.
Desierto salvajísimo: Weird things happen in the desert and with Emilia by your side they just got weirder! Something was definitely in that peyote...(Compounds on Wild Wasteland perk.)
Should the courier convince Emilia to apologize to her sister, she will gain Thy Brother’s Keeper perk.
Thy Brother’s Keeper: When the player falls below half health, Emilia will prioritize enemies around the player and gain a 25% damage increase.
If the courier convinces Emilia to let go of her sister, she will gain the Gone Rogue perk.
Gone Rogue: Stealth kills now do 25% more damage and enemies lose interest faster while sneaking.
Drops
El Silbón - Emilia’s sniper rifle. Unscoped shots have a 25% increase to critical chance.
Tattered Journal - A small journal that contains memoirs and recipes. Who is it for?
Froggy Grenades - Smoke bombs painted to look like frogs. Activating them will halve the chance of limbs being crippled and lower time it takes for enemies to lose sight of the user.
Quests and Recruitment
Strangers in the Fight
“You’ve been tipped off about an assassination that is suppose to happen tonight at The Aces. You aren’t sure who the mark is, but you’d gain some reputation and caps if you prevented their death.”
The courier can approach this quest in two ways. Either they hunt down the assassin or figure out who the mark is and warn them. Should the courier try and hunt down the assassin, they will be knocked unconscious backstage and fail the quest. Should they chose to investigate and warn the mark, the mark will thank them and leave The Aces that night. Later, the courier can find the mark dead in an alley the morning after they complete the quest. In either case, the quest will complete and the next time the courier enters the Atomic Wrangler they will find Emilia. Walking close enough to her will trigger an audio clip where she drunkenly berates the courier for causing trouble ‘the other night’.
Talking to her will give the courier a few options of dealing with her. Without perks, the courier can initiate dialogue that will lead to either recruitment or casual conversation. Recruiting can be done in two ways, either the courier can hire her for 300 caps or pass a speech check of 55. Passing the speech check makes her a permanent companion and allows the courier to access her personal quest, while hiring must be repeated if the courier dismisses her. If her health drops too low while on the road, she will dismiss herself and return to the Wrangler. If the courier has the terrifying presence perk, they can start a bar fight with Emilia in which killing her will not net a large loss in karma.
When she is recruited as a permanent companion her personal quest becomes accessible. To trigger it, the courier must complete quests for the ghoul Camila found in The Aces. The quests can be completed prior to recruiting her, but they must be completed to Camila’s approval. Once Emilia is recruited, a new quest from Camila will be available. Completing it requires Emilia to be in your party and when turning it in Camila will comment how her sister “Can’t seem to stop looming” and needs to let her “find her own way”. She will request that the courier doesn’t bring her around the Tops again, but thank them for their time. Officially, this is the start to Emilia’s personal quest.
A Tale of Two Sisters
“It seems as though Emilia is experiencing some family troubles. She’s not the type to open up about things, but if you travel with her she may let details slip. Keep her in your party and don’t push things.”
To do Emilia’s quest, the courier must keep her in their party when completing certain quests around the Mojave. Quests do not have a specific order to be completed in, however turning them in before acquiring Emilia as a companion will lock out completing her personal quest.
In Memoriam
“Elaine and her family are survivors from a Legion raid. Lately her eldest son has been closed off and she’s worried it’s because they left his father’s possessions behind while evacuating. Head down south to their old farm and see if you can find anything to bring back.”
Within the Bitter Springs camp a refugee named Elaine can be found. Talking to her reveals that she is worried about her son, who has been closed off since they evacuated their ranch. She says although their family was lucky enough to get away in one piece, she had lost her husband a few years prior. Their son was particularly close to him and he would often ‘talk’ to him after his passing. Since coming to Bitter Springs, those talks have lessened and he’s grown more distant. She suspects that their abrupt move caused some disconnect. Go down to what remains of their ranch and find something of her husband’s to bring back.
Heading southeast of Novac, the courier will eventually find a pillaged farmhouse. Going inside, the courier can pick up either a journal, a pocket knife, or a charred Dinky Dinosaur. Taking any will complete the objective, but each gives a slightly different dialogue when returning to Elaine. She will explain the value behind each item and thank the courier for their help. The quest will complete but to trigger the dialogue with Emilia, the courier must talk to Elaine’s son. He will recognize the courier and thank them, opening more dialogue options to talk about his father. Completing all dialogue paths and then talking to Emilia will allow her to comment on the boy’s outlook of grief. She will chastise how freely he talks about his father to the strangers, saying that loss can’t be fixed by just remembering someone and how it isn’t worth upsetting oneself again. The courier can respond to her in two major ways. They can either agree with her, saying that repressing grief is the only way to reign it in or they can try to convince her that closure sometimes requires vulnerability.
Take Us Back
“Change is nature. Some accept what life hands them, while others push back.”
Take Us Back can be a quest obtained by talking to a server named Charlie in the Ultra Lux. When talked to, the Courier can chose a dialogue path where she will tell them that she heard the news about Primm and that she is glad the town is now safe. Talking with her more, she will confess that she is worried about a friend who lives in Primm and that she has yet to hear from her since the attack. The Courier can then offer the check up on them, to which Charlie will express surprise that they would be willing to be so charitable with their help. The Courier can say they are either happy to help, or that they weren’t intending on doing this for free. Charlie accepts either option, and the Courier receives the quest Take Us Back.
The quest will take the Courier to Primm where they will meet Atta and her wife. The Courier can tell Atta about Charlie and her concern, to which Atta will say that she intended on sending a letter but that she had missed the last courier that came into town. She will be grateful for Charlie’s concern and that the Courier came to check up on them. Atta will then ask that the Courier take her letter back to Charlie, and will give them a small amount of caps for their trouble. The Courier can then pass a barter check to get more caps from Atta. If the Courier talks to Emi after this exchange, she will sarcastically mention how sweet it is that the Courier is passing notes around in class.
Upon returning to Charlie, she will read Atta’s letter and grow annoyed while reading. The Courier can then inquire as to what is upsetting Charlie. and Charlie will then bitterly remark that Atta always mentions her spouse, how those two are inseparable, and that it is the spouse’s fault that Atta moved to Primm. The Courier can then tell Charlie she needs to reevaluate herself and to pay up which will end the quest, or they can pry further. If asked, Charlie will admit how much things changed since Atta met her spouse, and that she has always been bitter at being second place since. She will then make a comment about how if she could get rid of the spouse, things might go back to how they were. The Courier can ask how serious she is about that comment, and she will mention that if she could find an assassin, she’d be very serious. The Courier then has the option to accept her offer, or lie and pretend to accept her offer.
If the Courier chooses to lie, they are given the option to tell Atta about the plan. Although she will not believe it at first, the Courier can pass a small speech check that allows them to convince her. She will be shocked, but thank the Courier for warning her. If the Courier takes the job they can kill Atta’s spouse anyway they chose so long as they do not get caught and do not kill Atta. Either choice requires the Courier to return to Charlie and tell her what they have done. Both choices lead to Atta sending Charlie a letter, though what is said will differ.
If the Courier decided to tell Atta, her letter will tell Charlie to never contact her again, and Charlie will become angry at the Courier for lying. Whatever the Courier says, Charlie will remain angry, and tell them to leave. After, if the Courier talks to Emi, she will joke that Charlie had it coming for being so trusting of strangers and that she should have been smarter about interfering with others’ lives. The Courier can either agree, which will end the conversation with Emilia laughing, or they can explain that people have lives outside of others and that should be respected.
Should the Courier follow through with the assassination, Atta’s letter will tell Charlie about her loss, and that she is considering coming to stay with her a while after funeral preparations are made. Charlie will thank the Courier, saying how glad she is that things will go back to normal after this. The Courier can talk to Emi afterwards, and she will make a comment about how she’s seen similar scenarios in the past, and that they never work. If the Courier asks what she means, she will say that murder can be a tool to fix things, but often its just a wrench being thrown at a broken water pipe. She will then say that she can’t blame Charlie for feeling the way she did, that she too understands what it feels like to have someone slip away, but she will be critical of how Charlie handled the situation saying that its better to prevent change before it happens as once it does things hardly return to how they were.
Friends Like These
“Problems don’t have to be dealt with alone. In times like these, it is nice to have friends.”
This quest requires that the Courier has taken Raul through his personal quest. It doesn’t matter which path Raul took so long as Old School Ghoul is completed. Travelling with Emi for a while after completing either Take Us Back or In Memorium will trigger her to talk to the Courier. She will say that she’s enjoyed their company despite not being fond of companions and will mention how travelling has been her entire life. She will then go to say how things seem to be coming to a slow in her life but that she isn’t quite ready to retire yet, and the thought of such an abrupt change leaves her anxious. Emilia will then joke, asking if the Courier could ever see her living a mellowed life, and the conversation will end.
Later, with Emilia as a companion, if the Courier talks with Raul a dialogue option mentioning a friend will appear. Choosing this the Courier will tell Raul about Emilia and he will joke about the introduction, asking what brought it up. The Courier can say that they thought those two would get along, and Raul will make a few more jokes. Ending the dialogue here will progress the quest, though a few more options will be present. After, Emi will comment on the introduction, joking that she can find her own hookups. The Courier can then say that if she is worried over retirement, to talk to Raul. She will consider this, and thank the Courier for remembering their conversation. After a time, Emilia will talk to them, again thanking the Courier for introducing her to Raul.
Completing a Tale of Two Sisters
Once the courier has completed the three quests, Emilia will ask to talk with them. If the courier accepts, she will inquire about them, asking if they’ve ever been responsible for someone before. The courier can say yes, no, or that they don’t remember, and Emilia’s response will depend on what is chosen. Ultimately she will come back to asking the courier what they thought of if they weren’t needed or wanted. The courier can ask if this is about her sister, and Emilia will get defensive, but confirm that is who she’s referring to. The courier can ask for details, and Emilia will tell them how she has been responsible for Camila’s well being for most of her life but recently she has been asserting her independence more and more. Emilia confesses that while she knows her sister will have to survive without her and is glad that she is finding her own way, she herself feels lost. The courier can then pry more, and Emilia will admit to expressing her frustrations through anger at her sister and that this is causing the strain on their relationship. If the courier tells her to apologize, Emilia will get defensive and end the conversation, but if they say that perhaps their relationship is coming to an end, Emilia will sadly acknowledge it and ask to be left alone. Later, regardless of what was picked, Emilia will ask the courier if they meant what they said. The courier can either say yes or change their answer. If the courier confirms that they think she should apologize Emilia will thank them, saying that she will need to think more on what to say to her sister. If the courier reassures her that all relationships eventually see a close and that this might mark the end for theirs, she will reluctantly agree with them and say that she needs some time to come to accept this.
Depending on what the courier chose, Emilia will gain a new perk. If the courier tells her to apologize, Emilia will gain Thy Brother’s Keeper perk. Later, the courier can talk to Camila in The Aces and she will thank them for their help, saying that she’s ready for both of them to start healing. If the courier tells Emilia to let her sister go, she will gain the Gone Rogue perk. Camila will not be in her usual spot in The Aces after this and if the courier asks Tommy Torini about her, he will mention that she has asked for time off.
El Silbón
“Legend tells of a lost spirit who wanders the world searching for revenge. His presence is only announced by a whistle.”
Upon killing Camila, the courier receives this quest with no map marker. If the courier had Emilia in party while attacking her sister, she permanently leaves the courier and can no longer be found at The Wrangle. For the rest of the game, the courier is being hunted. Emilia becomes a hostile random encounter that does not make herself known aside from a quiet whistle before she attacks. She will not stop attacking until the courier is either dead or they drop her health below 2/3, in which she will drop a smoke bomb and disappear. Emilia will continue to hunt the courier down until she is dead. Hiring a companion will lower her encounter rate, however if she is aggroed by more than one NPC she will try to escape. Upon killing Emilia, she will have three special items on her possession and two randomized chems. Her special items are her sniper rifle (El Silbón), a Tattered Journal, and Froggy Grenades.
Ending Slides
If Emilia dies (and El Silbón is not activated)
The life that had claimed so many had finally met its end, but for all Emilia’s infamy there was still one who mourned her. Camila grieved for her sister and all the things that were left unsaid between them but, refusing to let loss consume her, continued singing at The Aces.
If Camila is killed (and Emilia is not killed in El Silbón)
The Wasteland doesn’t discriminate in which lives it takes, and neither did the Courier. Camila, killed within the safety of New Vegas walls, left behind a distraught sister. Unable to handle the loss of her only remaining family, Emilia was overtaken by grief. She squandered what caps she had at the Wrangler and when her debts became too much to repay she was found overdosed in a Freeside alley.
If Emilia is killed in El Silbón
With nothing else to live for, Emilia hunted the Courier down. The murder of her sister was a trespass to be repaid in kind, but the assassin was not invincible. Unable to best the Courier, Emilia fell in battle. For all her anger and pain, she could finally find peace in death.
If Emilia’s personal quest is never completed
Despite all that the sisters had been through, New Vegas had strained their relationship like none before. Camila, though wishing to assert her independence, could not shake the control her sister had on her life. Once their business in the Mojave had been completed, Emilia left the Courier’s company, uprooting her sister once again to wander the Wastes. Although she had once held hope for a future, Camila no longer felt that ambition and remained silently by her sister’s side.
If the Courier sides with Legion and...
Completes Emilia’s quest, telling her to make up with her sister
Seeing that the Mojave was no longer safe, Emilia uprooted her sister one last time. Fleeing north, then east, Emilia’s age caught up to her when the pair reached Indiana. Still determined to keep her sister safe, she pushed on further until they reached the Ohio-West Virginia border where the two were then ambushed by raiders. Overwhelmed by their numbers and worn from her travels, Emilia fell in battle with her sister following suit.
Completes Emilia’s quest, telling her that she and her sister should part ways
Despite the courier’s words that their paths were diverging, Emilia would not let her sister remain in New Vegas when the Legion took the Dam. Uprooting her once more, Emilia led her sister north, then east. Determined to not be controlled by her sibling any longer, Camila fled when the pair reached Minnesota. With her age catching up to her, Emilia was unable to track her sister down. Camila had finally found her freedom.
If the Courier sides with NCR and...
Completes Emilia’s quest, telling her to make up with her sister
Although NCR occupation of Vegas did not sit well with Emilia, it assured that her sister would remain safe. While Camila would go on to be a beloved addition to The Aces, Emilia’s infamy grew with the NCR forcing her off The Strip. Undeterred by her bounty, the assassin would often sneak back into Vegas to enjoy the night life, frequenting The Tops to hear her sister sing.
Completes Emilia’s quest, telling her that she and her sister should part ways
Although NCR occupation of Vegas did not sit well with Emilia, it assured that her sister would remain safe. Employed at The Aces, Camila was able to support herself and was a welcomed addition to The Tops. Taking the Courier’s words to heart, Emilia slipped out of her sister’s life, allowing her the independence she so desired.
If the Courier sides with House and...
Completes Emilia’s quest, telling her to make up with her sister
With Vegas safe from either NCR or Legion influence, the sisters could focus on resolving things between them. Emi, realizing how much independence meant to her sister, finally eased the grip she had on her life. The two were able to come to an understanding and for the time being the pair could call Vegas home.
Completes Emilia’s quest, telling her that she and her sister should part ways
With NCR and Legion no longer a threat on Vegas, Emilia could finally take the Courier’s words to heart and slip from Camila’s life. Although no longer side by side, the sisters both remained in Vegas. Camila continued singing at the Tops while Emilia continued her work and havoc in Freeside. While Camila grew to be a beloved addition to The Aces, Emi went on to grow infamous, leading her to being incarcerated several times.
If the Courier makes New Vegas independent and...
Completes Emilia’s quest, telling her to make up with her sister
Along side New Vegas, Camila celebrated her own independence. Now free to follow her own path she became a beloved addition to The Aces. Emilia, though still afraid of what the future would hold for them, proudly watched as her sister blossomed. For the two siblings, Vegas could be called a home.
Completes Emilia’s quest, telling her that she and her sister should part ways
With Vegas free to rule itself, Camila continued her career at The Tops. While happy for her sister, Emilia took the Courier’s words to heart and removed her presence. But, no matter how far she traveled Emilia would find herself back on The Strip, sitting in the crowd at The Aces listening to her sister sing.

RP Hooks –––-
Performer - Vylette is an avid and active performer. She plays many instruments, sings and dances and has been featured in a number of venues including the Demon’s Dance Floor, Epoch Tavern, Sanguine Shadow, and Wanderer’s Elysium. Perhaps you’ve seen her at a show or can meet up with her after her next gig? You can check the “Performance Schedule” tab which is updated regularly. She also often can be found practicing or playing songs around the Quicksand on her down time.
Social Butterfly - Vylette adores social engagements and parties and attends a great many at various venues. Maybe you saw her at one of these places or can catch up to her at the next one? She is usually very approachable.
Medical Practitioner - "Please state the nature of the medical emergency." In the past year, Vylette's medical knowledge has been put to the test as she rubs elbows with mercenaries, bodyguards, and other folk with the penchant for being in combat situations or otherwise being inflicted with sudden, often life threatening, injury. She has taken this change in life circumstance as a challenge, and increased her knowledge and study to compensate. Previously known as a counselor, she maintains a good balance of treatment focusing not only on the physical ailments, but also the patient's underlying mental state and the ramifications it can have on the "whole self."
Technology Aficionado - Vylette has come a very long way in the past year in her acceptance and understanding of magitek technology. Previously being known for her attitude of "I do not know how it works, it just does" towards her motorcycle and other similar devices, she had been forced to learn out of necessity in order to maintain her prized and extremely expensive vehicle. As she learned more she found her interest growing in possible applications for treating the injured those who have lost limbs to catastrophic injuries. She is by no means an expert, but rather she is always seeking new avenues of discussion and learning, perhaps even a mentor.
Dancing Queen - One of Vylette’s favorite things to do when she is out is to dance. While she is skilled professionally as part of her career, she loves to just dance to enjoy herself as well. Whether it’s a traditional dance, a disco party or a rave, odds are you can find her there.
People Watcher - Like seemingly everyone else, Vylette enjoys people watching and seeing the comings and goings in the Quicksand. You may have seen her there, or you may find her on your next stop in.
Fashionista - Vylette loves clothes, accessories and fashion in general. Are you a seamstress, tailor or dressmaker? See something she’s wearing that catches your eye? Strike up a conversation about it!
Romantic - Vylette is a devotee of Menphina and will always be a hopeless romantic. She is well known as a matchmaker who helps couples find each other.
What Am I Looking for? –––
Friends
Acquaintances
*FC Membership
*Family
Etc.!
Really I am open to many things at this point. I especially want long lasting, meaningful, platonic or familial relationships.While I do enjoy one offs and random RPs, what I really crave is relationships that can develop over time and result in interpersonal and character growth. Friendships and bonds that stand the test of time and become mutual writing and growth experiences are adored.
As a note on the * items:
I am seeking an good or neutral aligned adventure FC at this time. Something preferably with a storyline to get involved in and a place I can participate in and potentially run events as well. I am not seeking evil, “morally grey”, yakuza/organized crime fronts, purely social FCs, or bar/restaurant types (they can have this component of course, I just do not want it to be all there is).
Additionally I am hoping to meet and develop a rapport with people where we can build up enough mutual respect and trust to delve into some family things. More specifically, I have some plot development ideas for Vy that I have had for a long time that I would like to see come to fruition. While I could for instance just make an alt to be these family members, I feel the interaction with another player (and in fact several since the plots would involve Vy’s fiancee’ and friends as well) would be amazing. These would not be scripted characters. While there is some background I would provide ultimately they would be in the control of the player steering! I would also be more than willing to do the same for others!
CONTACT INFORMATION –––
Available to RP on: In-game. I have, in rare instances, used Discord to RP or finish a long scene, but I prefer in game immersion so this is the exception rather than the rule.

MUN QUESTIONS.
Q1: If you could write your character your way in their own movie, what would it be called, what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?
A1: She’s 100% not going to be the star of some action movie. I don’t know what title I’d give it, but probably a slow-paced melancholic movie focusing on character development driven narrative.
Q2: What would their soundtrack/score sound like?
A2: Pianos. Lots of piano tracks.
Q3: Why did you start writing this character?
A3: She just kind of happened. Getting into ffxiv, I wasn’t really expecting to come out of it with a new OC I’d be obsessing over. But as I grew more attached to the story and also came up with headcanons for the player character, Illya just sort of developed into her own character in my eyes.
Q4: What first attracted you to this character?
A4: Not sure if it counts but I was surprised just how much they made the player character so involved in the story, especially for an MMO. Her pro-activeness and continuously being willing to help and save others when I myself would have been too cynical to care made her endearing to me.
Q5: Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.
A5: I’d like to think she’s a complex character, given how I spend more time thinking about her flaws than actual strengths.. but I do sometimes wonder if she’s too ideal or mary sue-ish. Her aesthetic of flowers, magic and purple has got to be the most overused and cliche combination of aesthetics imaginable. Also she stutters a lot, which makes writing dialogue in her POV slightly annoying.
Q6: What do you have in common with your muse?
A6: We’re both introverted and have self-esteem issues. We’re also both rather pessimistic, though for her she’s pessimistic in her beliefs of whether she’ll be able to live up to the expectations of others, while I’m pessimistic about everyone in general. Other than that I think we’re actually rather different.
Q7: How does your muse feel about you?
A7: Dunno. She’d probably be really scared of me, I think.
Q8: What characters does your muse have interesting interactions with?
A8: If I had to go into detail about every interesting interaction she has I’d take another six hours to write but in a nutshell:
Meets her best friend and fellow WOL Laurelis near the start of ARR and grows more and more attached and comfortable around her as time goes on despite starting off rather wary and weirded out by her. Meets Alphinaud at the very beginning of ARR but doesn’t really bond personally with him until the very start of HW. They confess some time mid-Stormblood. She has interesting dynamics with other WOL OCs I have too, but they’re a topic for another day.
Q9: What gives you inspiration to write your muse?
A9: Just my sheer love for her. I’ve grown to love her like I would any favourite character to the point she sometimes doesn’t feel like an OC anymore.
Q10 : How long did this take you to complete?
A10 : Too long. Granted I tabbed in and out, doing different things all at once but I really shouldn’t have taken close to three hours to finish this.

TO BE EDITED. // altered carbon
In Altered Carbon Laurel owns and operates a handful of different clubs / brothels (sex work is legal in this setting); all high end and catering to the elite, whether it be rich Grounders or Meths that want to play at ‘slumming it’. They are all named after various religious settings, such as The Inferno, Purgatory, Elysium etc. and have correlating themes. The deeper you go into the club, into the different levels of access, the more extreme and blatant the activities. Her clients pay heavily for her discretion and she does not allow any attempts at blackmail by her staff and will do whatever it takes to make sure that they keep their mouths shut about what happens in her establishments. She caters almost exclusively to in The Real desires, but does have virtual accommodations for those that might wish to participate in things beyond the real world.
Despite her assurances of privacy, she does record everything that happens in the club and in virtual, though very few people are aware and she is the only one with access to the recordings which are kept on a private and very, very secure server satellite. She does, on occasion, feed certain tidbits to the police, typically when they are nosing too close to something of her more illicit activities, but usually that information is something that could be obtained elsewhere with enough digging and effort on the police’s part. Only on very rare occasions does she hand over anything that would explicitly incriminate someone, and that is generally when they have either crossed her, or someone is paying her enough to make it worth it.
Her less legal work includes, but is not limited to, using her own interests and penchant for violence to torture, blackmail and leverage people in power, on behalf of other people, and on rare occasion, her own interests. She also arranges wetwork, real death, and identity erasure / replacement services for the right cost; sometimes she handles these things herself but primarily, now, she acts as a broker, connecting client to employee, with the clubs she operates generally serving as cover for the meets.
She has several different sleeves that she will rotate through for various aspects of her work, keeping different identities separate as much as she can, though there are some of the major players in the Earth’s underworld that know her across the board (ie Reileen Kawahara and select others). She is nearing a hundred years of age, but maintains herself in a younger and fresh version of her original birth sleeve, early to mid twenties, as her standard fare. She is wealthy, though not quite long-lived Methuselah rich yet, and lives more than comfortably, with a dozen clones / sleeves scattered in various storage facilities across Bay City and a few off world, and has a 72 hour backup cycle. She trusts no-one and is manipulative, calculating and cares only about her own comfort and survival. Anything else is just an act.
Edit: while she is extremely wealthy and has age on her side, she chooses not to live on the Aerium. Her particular lifestyle choices and the fact that she rubs elbows with the Meths while they are indulging their vices creates a divide that she has no interest in crossing. She’s happy with her position and power as it stands and would far rather rule her roost down on Earth than try and kick and claw her way through the social drama and political backstabbing that is Meth society.
Additional note for Laurel’s Altered Carbon verse. She does have various sleeves that she keeps on hand in her clubs for people to cast into for more discreet visitations for pleasure or business including top of the line synth models that can be made to look however the client wishes.
ONE. Her father was a business mogul on Earth, he died in air car accident when she was 29 after which she inherited his business and finances, operating the business hands on for ten years before handing it off to be run on her behalf. It still operates; importing and exporting luxury goods and generally turns a tidy amount of profit which is tucked away safely – any investments that she makes, including the series of brothels that she runs, any illicit ventures etc. are financed separately. The profit that has accrued from her family business is her constant, her back up, her safety net. Everything else is play money.
TWO. Her mother lives off-world, she cast into a clone a couple of years after her husband’s death and has long since re-married and has an assortment of children with her ‘new’ husband. She and Laurel do not speak, have not spoken since Laurel’s father’s funeral and Laurel has literally zero interest in her so-called extended family.
THREE. She has five other sleeves at her disposal at any given time, excluding the dozen or so clones of her current, younger self scattered across Earth / various other planets. One of them is her actual birth biological sleeve, maintained and kept in tip-top shape by medical experts. She has three male sleeves and three female sleeves, total that she keeps on standby for various business deals where her true identity needs to remain secret. Each of the non-her sleeves has a full work up and identity of its own that are what registers when the sleeve / stack is scanned – this is highly illegal and highly expensive, but given that identity erasure and replacement are part of the illegal services she offers, it’s easier for her to manage than most. She does not have any problem cross sleeving genders, ages or race, though she is not inclined to deal with sleeve sickness or potential insanity effects from dealing with inhabiting too many sleeves outside of her own so she only uses other sleeves for extremely important business meetings that cannot be done via virtual et al.
FOUR. This isn’t exclusive to AC but I haven’t mentioned it anywhere else yet and certain variations of it are more extreme and prevalent in AC so. Laurel is absolutely fascinated by death. Methods of death, how long things take, how much different people can endure before they die, ranging from types of deaths that are fairly instant or only a couple minutes to literally, deaths that take days and days and days, such as starvation or dehydration, etc. This extends, in all verses, to various poisons and venoms (and yes she is very particular on the distinction) and while it annoys her because law enforcement go ‘oh it’s poison it had to be a female they don’t commit violent murders’ type of thing, she is morbidly and utterly fascinated with the way that people react to poisons and venoms, especially because it can be so varied. This is all especially true in her Altered Carbon verse where she can literally experiment with a hundred different deaths on the same person and have that same person as a constant and the method of torture and death be the variable, unlike modern verses et al where she could kill twelve people the same way and they’d all be different, meaning, the scientific method of the whole shenanigans just doesn’t happen in any verse other than AC.
This is one of her favorite pastimes. Whether it’s someone who has pissed her off, or someone that simply needed erased, or, in superbly rare cases, sometimes, a client or customer that wants her to torture them to death repeatedly, it’s one of the more enjoyable features of stacks & virtual reality options available to her in this setting.
Side note: She is, for the right client, or the right partner, willing to play the flip side of that coin and be the one being tortured and/or killed via whatever methodology in virtual. She is incredibly careful about who she extends any such offer to in the Real. She might have extra sleeves and backups, but death is still unsettling to her in the flesh, even if she knows the brain can’t distinguish between the virtual and real death while in virtual, she’s still leery of it in the real world. Part of this is sheer vanity. Part of this is knowing she’d be missing memories and time and given her eidetic/photographic memory, any missing time drives her insane.
FIVE. She is as pansexual as it gets. She doesn’t care. She might be attracted to the intellect of a person or a particular physical feature or their propensity for violence or their fragility or the way they moan, honestly. Propensity for violence or being particularly innocent / naive / vulnerable are really high up on her ranking of what traits turn her on. Physicality is somewhere in the middle really, she is just as likely to get off bleeding someone out as she by actual sexual interactions so typical physical attraction has never been a prerequisite in her book.

Roleplay Ideas
Hey! It’s Drago, been poking around tumblr and wanting to add to some group roleplay ideas cause I’m mostly seeing muse a and b, instead of group options, so I’m hoping this could help.
Long Term
1. Drama in Drama
Who doesn’t love Theatre? Well, a group of kids join the drama club. What kind of play are they putting on? None other than the classic Cinderella. But when romance blooms, sabotage ensues, and drama unfolds, will this play ever make it on time?
Genre: Slice of life, drama
Numbers: 7-15
Roles:
Director/Teacher
Assistant (optional)
Lead roles
- Cinderella
- Prince
- King
- Step mother
- Step sister 1
- Step sister 2
- Lucifer the cat
- Coachman
Backstage crew (2-5)
- Lighting
- props
- scenery
Understudies
Extras
Roles can change and can be edited. You can take the idea and change it to make it your own. But this can also double as a high school roleplay to get interactions amongst characters. All character types are available for this roleplay. Feel free to add what you want.
2. Voyagers
On the ocean. Nothing better than exploring the sea with your most trusted friends. But when you set off, you find yourself in a world bigger than the small place you grew up. Merpeople, pirates, monsters, and natural elements. Will you guys ever find the promise land of a new shore?
Genre: fantasy, action, adventure
Numbers: 7-25
Roles:
Voyagers
Pirates
Merpeople
Monsters
This is also a very general idea but feel free to add your own elements into it. You can add roles and put your own flare to it. You can also make it a pirate roleplay.
3. Crossing Over
You ever hear yourself saying “Man, I wish I lived in that world.” Well, what if you could? A group of online friends suddenly get a random person thrown into their server (or group chat). When they start talking strangely, they think it’s a bot. That is until they’re all thrown into a portal that brings them to the realm of worlds. And now you and your friends have to travel through different worlds to get back to your own... or... will you choose to leave your own world behind?
Genre: Any
Numbers: 3-20
Roles:
OC’s.
This is a creative one that can cross through multiple genres or fandoms. Teen wolf and gravity falls and Percy Jackson. Ouran High School and The Office and Marvel and Disney cartoons. This will be up to you and the group of how you want to cross dimensions. But basically the portal is placed in a specific place of the universe and you have to find it. You can basically have fun in the world you want, until everyone turns on you or you guys cause problems and then it’s off to the new world.
4. Help Wanted
(Warning: this one is not for sensitive role players)
You think you’re a caregiver? Think you can provide all you can? Well how about being a caretaker for an orphanage? But this isn’t just any orphanage. No, there are very little workers here for a reason. Because people expected docile children and sad souls who a hug and a cookie can solve all their problems. But what if that wasn’t right? What if these orphans aren’t as innocent as they seem? What if they hate your very presence? And what if.. just what if, leaving your door unlocked could be your end?
Genre: Horror, ‘Slice of Life’
Numbers: 7-19
Roles:
New Worker 1
New Worker 2 (optional)
Worker 1
Worker 2
Worker 3 (optional)
Worker 4 (optional)
Orphans (at least 4)
Outside Friends (optional)
This roleplay is darker than the others but it’s an option. The kids basically don’t trust new people and only want their workers. Some kids are sad and quiet, some are hyper and loud, some are troubled by demons, and some are the demons. And some are our to kill you. But you as the new worker have to prove yourself or die trying.
5. Under the Sea
In the ocean lie the mystical creatures we know as merpeople. But there are multiple kinds. There’s the surface class mers. Which contain the coral, open, and trench families of mers. And then there’s the deep sea class of mers which contain the twilight mers, abyssal mers, And trench dwellers. These two classes of merfolk do not get along well, at all. But when all of these merfolk are plagued by an evil sea witch, they’re gonna have to work together to defeat the witch, or they can say good bye to their homes as they know it.
Genre: Fantasy, adventure
Number: 6-18
Roles:
Surface Mers
- coral mers (>1)
- open sea mers (>1)
- trench dwellers (>1)
Deep sea Mers
- Twilight mers (>1)
- Abyssal Mers/Luminescent mers (>1)
- Trench Dwellers (>1)
Sea Witch
Other Species Possible:
Sharks
Stingrays
Angler fish
Squids
Octopi
Surface Mers
- Coral mers are very colorful and usually smaller to get around all the nooks and crannies. Their tails are shorter but with bigger side fins to help with sharp turns and agile swimming. However they’re not built for long swims. They’re peaceful and friendlier since they live close by and often help each other out. Some coral mers are even able to use camoflauge.
- Open sea mers have long and very strong tails. Most open sea mers are monochromatic while still being vibrant. This is to help with currents and distance. However they’re not agile. They are powerful swimmers though. These are the active hunters of the sea. They are aggressive and territorial. Open sea mers are independent and strong willed. So meeting others isn’t always common. And most of the time, is unwanted.
- Surface trench dwellers are the lower class. These are the pack hunters. They are fast and agile. They have the fastest speed of the surface class. They are also very untrusting of other species. But are the most loyal to their kind or accepted kinds. Surface trench dwellers have faded color schemes. You can also find rogue or lone mers in this species. The dynamics work pack style. They also have the easiest transition between surface and deep sea, however can not go past the twilight zone.
Deep Sea Mers
- Twilight mers have very very sharp senses and good reflexes. They are also evasive and good at hiding. Their best tactic is ambush. They also have tougher scales to better keep in heat for survival. They are usually very peaceful and respectful. They are still aggressive but usually in an act of defense. Their tails are long and quick for swimming and hunting. They are usually dark colored merfolk. It’s likely to find solid colored mers in this species than any other species.
- Abyssal mers also known as luminescent mers are the furthest species found in the ocean. However these gentle creatures are omnivores. They feed on mostly plants and small jellyfish or squid. They also have luminescent scales that help them see in the dark. They’re more independent and will often get aggressive with each other. They have thick scales to keep in heat for survival and for defensive purposes. These mers have the longest but the weakest tails because there are no currents in the abyss.
- Deep sea Trench dwellers are the most dangerous of the species. They’ve been known to be cannibals. Often mistaken for surface trench dwellers, who are more docile to invaded territory, deep sea trench dwellers are lone mers. They are the most hostile and have the most violent tendencies. These mers are the ones notorious for sinking ships and killing humans. They are silent killers because of the way their scales and fins are built, you can’t hear them approach. These mers are deadly.
6. Surprise!
You’re moving into an apartment complex! And surprise! You’re a roommate to who even knows! And not to mention your next door neighbors! Or the other next door neighbors! Or the ones beside those. Who’s having a party on a Tuesday?! What was that crash?! Who’s baby is screaming and crying?! Pizza guy delivered to the wrong room for the 8th time! What kind of crazy place did you sign end up living in?!?
Genre: Slice of life, humor
Numbers: 4-18
Roles:
- New Comer
- Roomate 1
- Roomate 2
- Roomate 3
- Next door neighbor
- Next door neighbor 2
- Next door neighbor 3
- Next door neighbor 4
This is a fun silly one where you can basically go crazy. There doesn’t have to be 1 new comer. There can be 5 new people or all of them can be new! Whatever you choose to do! Go crazy and have a blast or learn to take painkillers like a pro, because you’ll probably need them!
Hope you liked them and feel free to use these as an inspiration! I’ll be posting more eventually!

ROLEPLAY HOOKS––––
■ Immortal Flame Halls: One will almost primarily find the Flame Marshal in the Flame Halls from day to day. Overseeing his officers while giving out orders and signing reports. Those who are in need of seeking him out may request audience and have a private meeting. Whether it be out of nostalgia, to make his acquaintance, or however you wish... He is open to meeting all.
■ In Her Gates: When not closed off in his office, Pipin is out and about Ul’dah. Typically patrolling the streets while also partaking in everyday conversation. He could be just about anywhere at any time and visiting certain aspects of the city.
■ On the Field: Should the opportune arise, there are chances you might come across Pipin out and about in the fields of Thanalan. Most of these trips involve visiting training camps for Flames recruits... or simply giving himself a brief respite from the city. Should there be a commotion of some sort, he’d be willing to stop whatever it is he’s doing to take a look or assist.
■ Political Venture: Loathe as he is to take part, but Pipin has slowly begun to integrate himself into the mindset of partaking in politics over being a simple soldier. Before he only stood by the Sultansworn and the Eorzean leaders... now being required in so much more. As such, should there be a major meeting in which he is needed to attend, he will be there. Even if it is to meet with lesser known sorts and create friendly relations.
■ Ala Mhigo Restoration: Pipin is assisting with overseeing the gradual restoration of Ala Mhigo and that her people slowly embark back to her lands from Ul’dah. Plenty of chances to see him out and about Gyr Abania... as well as the occasional visit to his father.
■ Other: I am open to any and all ideas! A lot of my ideas are basic and general so as to include everyone, but I am all for plotting different sorts of settings and such. (Especially shenanigans)
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR––––
■ I would absolutely love to find more people out there who roleplay NPC’s within ffxiv. Especially those whom the character Pipin might have interacted with at some point or another. Even then I’m not so picky to learn a new character. I’m also welcome to roleplay with just about anyone! As long as your character is a part of the ffxiv universe, I’m game.
■ I love long ongoing plots and creating unlikely bonds and friendship (Or enemies!). Short and sweet rps are great too, but I enjoy getting invested into another person’s character and creating interesting relations.
■ Under no circumstances will I do explicit or sexual content. As a canon NPC character, I want to stick to the canon as much as possible and create an experience as if one were engaging with the NPC themselves. Not to say I’m against romantic settings! But know that it will never go into ERP territory.
EXTRA––––
I’m a busy mun who has a full-time job as well as the occasional on-call. It might take me some time to get to replies and such. Please have patience if I happen to be slow at times, but I tend to be pretty active!
Don’t be afraid to come to me if you have ideas or a certain scenario you would like to roleplay. As long as we communicate, I’m fine with making things work! Or if you just feel like talking at all really.
I’m a PS4 player whom types very slowly on their controller and usually takes awhile to respond to statements. If you happen to see me in game, forgive me if I respond slowly!
I’ve mainly been an “Ask and you shall receive” type of blog where I’ve rarely reached out, but will go along with anyone who pokes me for things. Mostly because I’m not sure who is actually available or looking for this sort of connection. So in an attempt to better myself I’m reaching out now!
YOU CAN CONTACT ME VIA ––
Tumblr Messages (Preferred)
Discord: Private message for username.

General Advice: Getting Started
Starting MvM is a great idea. No, really, despite what the gif may make you feel, Mann vs Machine is actually a very fun gamemode to play. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dedicated hundreds of hours to it.
So you’re sitting in the menu screen for tf2, not sure what to do. Competitive is scary, but casual has lost its glam. Maybe you don’t feel confident going up against other players. Maybe you like trading, but you have nothing to offer. Maybe you just aren’t about funky community servers. But then, you see “Mann vs. Machine”, sitting just beneath competitive and click on it. It’s perfect! Just the change of pace you needed from the regular humdrum of pvp gameplay.
Before you go any further, there are some things you need to know about MvM and its community.
MvM offers some great loot. As many of you know, MvM is the only place to get Australiums unless you trade for them. They are also the source of killstreak kits, botkiller weapons, and the legendary Golden Frying Pan. This is why playing MvM is appealing to many traders who want to try their luck on getting their hands on some good items to trade. I’m not a super big trader myself, so look forward to more advice links in the future!
MvM is also fun. I enjoy pve gameplay because it requires you to learn skills that aren’t strictly reaction-based. You can memorize wave patterns, learn which upgrades are good, and play meta. Or, you can have fun and bust out your patented widowmaker Engineer to kick some robot ass.
MvM has a small but very passionate community. From community mapmakers to Discord servers, MvM has got it all! If you would like a fairly active Discord server that grants access to many resources and people, this is Foodie’s MvM Discord server. In addition, there is a large community on Steam called Potato’s MvM Servers. The current event is called Canteen Crasher, which features a wide variety of challenging, community made maps, new robots to face, and even a contract system that will reward you with a unique community medal! Their website is right here. There are also community groups such as TVM that are invite-only, but are full of experienced, friendly players.
However, MvM is not all good. I’m sure all of you have heard the rumors of how toxic this community is. I’m sure many of you have experienced firsthand community members being less than stellar. This is not how MvM always is. Most of the time, you’ll meet a group of individuals who are willing to work with you to achieve a common goal: beating the mission. Sometimes, you’ll even meet a really chill person to become friends with! Don’t let the toxic people scare you away, but if you are unable to manage the toxicity that often crops up in game, please be very careful in the community. Use the mute button often and liberally. Leave the server and find a new one if you must! What you can’t hear can’t hurt you!
Now that you know a little about the MvM community, you can just hit start and go, right? Nope, not yet. That’ll be covered in part 2.

Rule of Thumb: if you're not sure if something is allowed, ASK before using. This does not include the community. Ask a staff member. Punishment on those cheating will depend on the severity of the cheating.
+Griefing (and stealing):
Destroying other players blocks without their permission is against the rules. Giving a player permissions to your plot or town is indirectly giving that player permission to break your plots (this includes setting towns and plots to public). If you have given a player permission to your plot and something is broken that is on you as you put trust in this player.
+Hacking:
Modifications to your client that give you a substantial advantage over players are not allowed, for example X-Ray modifications. The only modifications that are allowed are those of like Optifine where it helps with performance but doesn't give any advantage in-game. Minimaps are allowed as long as it's just that, a minimap. Minimaps that include mob trackers and cave finders are not allowed. Again, if you have to question whether a mod is allowed, ask a staff member before installing or using.
+Swearing:
As of February 2018, we do allow for swearing. While we were a family-friendly server before our revamp, as an owner, at 27, I've grown away from that family friendly aspect. Therefore, we do allow for swearing as long as it's not over the top or becomes inappropriate.
+Trolling:
Trolling and annoying players is not allowed. Deliberately provoking players for fun or for example, "tricking" a player into breaking the rules is not allowed. Respect will fall into this category. Treat those with respect as you would like that respect to be reciprocated.
+Spamming:
This applies to both in-game and on the website. No excessive messages should be sent within a short amount of time. Spam can include song lyrics, random formations of letters, repetition of letters or words and so forth. TPA requests will fall into this category as well.
+Respect:
Each player will show respect to other players and staff members. There will be absolutely NO toleration on bullying or disrespect to any player on the server. If you are being bullied on the server or on the site, please report (along with screenshots) the bullying to a staff member.

#GW2FriendShips : on how I met my future wife
“Gwendolynii? She must have really wanted the name Gwendolyn.”
A lot of people say that first impressions matter the most, and I suppose that’s true in terms of actually getting to know somebody... but more than that, immediate first impressions are memorable rather than anything else. After all, those words were the first things I ever said about my now-fiancé and (hopefully) future wife, @raatha. It’s a joke that, much to her chagrin, is probably going to follow her to the grave if I have anything to say about it.
Guild Wars 2 was a huge and important part of my life for many years. I met some very amazing friends on it, and had some incredibly fun times. One of my current best friends that I’m still in contact with, I never would have met if one of his friends hadn’t found me and signed me up onto his PvP team back in ye olde days of the game pre-release when beta tests were still happening. I probably would have a lot more money in my wallet if I hadn’t played this game and would have spent over two thousand hours of my life doing something else. (Let’s be fair, that probably would have just been two thousand hours of a different video game.)
But I wouldn’t have met my fiancé if I hadn’t played this game, and as the longest standing romantic relationship of my life, and as somebody that I am willing to not just move home but move country for, this story is going to just talk about her. Because I love her, and my life would legitimately be so much less fulfilling without her in it. My #GW2FriendShip has pretty much saved my damn life, and that’s worth talking about!
And it still never fails to make me laugh that my first impression of my future-to-be-wife was that her character’s name was Gwendolynii and I giggled at how desperate she must have been to get the name Gwendolyn if she was willing to go that far for it. I saw her at a group roleplay, as we were both big into roleplaying on GW2 at the time and she was part of a RP guild that I had a bit of interest in potentially joining. We didn’t speak at all, more than we just sort of saw each other in passing, and we didn’t even really roleplay with one another either.
Actually... funnier than how I remember how I first saw her is the fact I don’t really remember how I met her. I know that @raatha approached me first, and we joined a party, and there was an at-length discussion of how beautiful she thought my sylvari was. There might have been some talk of roleplay ideas on both our ends, things she was interested in doing and things I was interested in doing. It was fun, I just don’t remember that much of it. For the most part, a lot of our friendship initially revolved around roleplay, but as time progressed it branched outwards, too. What other games did we like that weren’t Guild Wars 2? Maybe we should play them some time!
Then, drama happened. Not between me and her, but between me and other folk. A lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding, a lot of very harsh words from both sides, and far more hurt feelings than was really necessary. It was actually a really, really dark time for me and it impacted my love of Guild Wars 2 really heavily. I had to move server to even feel brave enough to log in and play the game, and my motivation for doing anything inside the game was thoroughly trashed. I still love GW2, but to be honest, everything that happened back then (over three years ago now) still impacts the game for me a little. Guild Wars 2 was never quite the same. Raatha was one of the very few contacts from my GW2 life that stayed in touch with me, and I’m really glad that she did. Without turning this into too much of a sob story, Raatha offered very endearing and very comforting support as I tried to muddle through a really hard time for me, and I’m forever grateful for that. She really did help me see it through to the other side of that nasty place, and our friendship really only got stronger because of it. As I got back onto my feet again, we dabbled at doing things that weren’t related to Guild Wars 2. We continued to roleplay, just not in the game. The friendship just developed along with everything else that we were doing.
And then one day, while I’m in the middle of work, Raatha asks me straight out of the blue if I’d be interested in dating her. The rest is history~!
I don’t have the same relationship with Guild Wars 2 today that I did five years ago. I’ve grown a lot as a person and my life has changed pretty significantly over those years. I still enjoy the game, still log in from time to time and play it, and I still get excited about story patches or new armour pieces that look pretty, but the game isn’t quite as magical for me today as it used to be. But honestly... I’m okay with that. I’m okay with that, because everything that was magical about GW2 has been replaced by everything that’s magical about my fiancé instead. And even if I don’t play GW2 as much any more, and even if I never play it the way I used to, the bottom line is that I don’t play GW2 as much any more because I met so many amazing people playing it. My activity in the game today does not change the fact that the game’s community, the game’s design and the game’s open-minded attitude towards creating an MMORPG that encouraged players to communicate and help one another rather than forcing them to compete for mobs or drops or quest progress is the reason that I got to make so many amazing friends, have so many amazing memories, and eventually - to my great surprise - meet the person that I now hope to one day marry and spend the rest of my life with.
So... thanks, ArenaNet. I might bitterly complain about your design decisions sometimes, I might get frustrated with some of the microtransaction choices your company makes, and I might have ranted very often and very frequently about bugs, or intentional mechanics in game that just don’t work, or stupid story decisions, or poor character writing... But I kind of owe you one, too.
TL;DR: GW2 made me realise I am actually incredibly gay and now I’m in loving lesbians with a very wonderful woman who I met while playing the most intense MMORPG dress up game of all time.
#GW2FriendShip#GW2Giveaway#GW2 in general#so yeah thanks ANet#sometimes I kind of love to hate you but your game has been a boon in my life#raatha#look at my precious fiance#look at her#i'm so proud of her

decoded (707 x reader, part iv)
summary: As one of the newest recruits for Hackers Chasing Hackers, one of your goals is to help recruit the infamous hacker 707 into the ranks. When other members of the group start dropping off the radar, a misunderstanding leads you to being banned by the group. Determined to clear your name and get to the bottom of the disappearances, you end up working with none other than the great 707 himself.
rating: 13+ (hacker au, spoilers involve 707′s real name, which are probably not spoilers anymore at this point. /shot)
notes: ah. hello! so i meant to get this out before november, aka nanowrimo, started, but as always things don’t go as planned. anyone from around that time may remember a poll that i put up concerning this fic and the... results from that have been incorporated, perhaps in a way none of us expected. /shot
please enjoy and once again thanks to my friends kamu and @cannibalisticskittles for their help with this chapter!
previous chapter || next chapter
There are reasons why 707 is known as one of the best hackers in the world.
His attention to detail is one of them. It comes with the territory though. One tiny mistake can lead a myriad of errors within a function. And an error ridden function is likely not work, which could result in the weakening of the program as a whole. So naturally, when something has been changed, especially by another person, he’s quick to notice.
Like right now.
Someone has altered the code for his defensive systems. Saeyoung has programs set up for these kinds of things, and while he doesn’t doubt their effectiveness, sometimes it’s good to manually check things. He skims over the the code, sipping at his PhD Pepper. There are minor changes here and there, but for the most part everything is still the same. None of the changes are inherently harmful; even with them, everything still works, albeit less efficiently than what he prefers. Whoever is doing this is trying to be discreet about their mischief.
The keyword here being trying.
Saeyoung checks to see if he can track the source and, of course, they covered their tracks. Not that it’ll help them much. It takes him a couple minutes to uncover the hackers. The IPs look familiar, and when he checks he finds they belong to two members of Hackers Chasing Hackers. Saeyoung’s lips tug upward into a grin. It looks like she’s one of them.
“Interesting…” he murmurs. Normally, Hackers Chasing Hackers takes a while to nurse their wounds when he actively retaliates after one of their attacks, so he wonders if maybe this is something orchestrated by either her or her partner. It wouldn’t be the first time that one or two members of the group has gone after him on their own.
He leans back in his chair and stares up thoughtfully at the some of the glow in the dark stars he’s stuck to the ceiling. Of course, he can’t just let the two get their way. After all, he has a reputation to uphold. Bets are they’re trying to weaken his defenses a little before they attack so that they have a better chance of taking him down. Saeyoung scoffs. It’s a viable effort, but in the end, it’s not going to work.
His hands hover over the keyboard. If he wanted to, Saeyoung could crush them and all their hard work almost instantly.
But then the image of that girl’s flustered expression as he remembers it from the party comes to mind.
And with it, an interesting idea.
“...just how much more of this is there…” you grumble lowly, clacking away on your laptop. It’d been a few days since you and Minji had decided to take on 707. For the most part, things have been going rather smoothly, with the only issue being that his security system is much, much larger than you had anticipated. To compensate, you’ve been spending every spare moment trying to get as much done as you can. But you can already tell that it’s still going to take way longer than you had hoped to execute this plan. And the longer you take, the more likely 707 is going to figure out what you’re up to. The thought of whatever retribution he might have in store for your efforts sends shivers up and down your spine. You don’t think that you could take another week without your baby. The possibility of that alone powers your fingers to move a little faster.
Your stomach growls, protesting your decision to use your lunch break to hack instead of eat. You’ll get a sandwich or something you can eat on the way to your next class. For now, you’d rather use the time you have sitting down to hack.
“Hey!”
The sound of Yoosung’s voice makes you nearly jump out of your seat. You scramble to finish the little bit of code you’re working on, not wanting Yoosung to see what you’re doing. To be honest, you doubt he’d be able to tell, but better safe than sorry. Once you’re done, you look up to find two things, or rather, two people. Person number one is obviously Yoosung, who plops himself down right next to you and person number two… is the red haired guy from the party, grinning from ear to ear.
Every hair on your body stands on end as you watch the redhead settle himself on Yoosung’s other side. You’re pretty sure he’s not a student; that red hair of his sticks out like a sore thumb so you definitely would have seen him before. Then why is he here? Yoosung seems to realize that you’re staring at his companion and introduces him to you. “This is my friend, Saeyoung!”
“Hello~” the redhead bows his head, not bothering to hide the mischievous grin on his face. “Nice to meet you again!”
All the color drains from your face as Yoosung swings his head around to look at you, clearly confused. “Again…? Have you guys met before?”
“Uh… ” you mumble, unsure of what to say. Should you just lie and say that maybe Saeyoung has mistaken you for someone else? Or do you tell him the truth? But if you do that, you might just have to tell Yoosung everything… Before you can even make the decision yourself, Saeyoung decides to make it for you.
“We met at the party,” he answers in nonchalant tone.
“Party…” It takes a moment for the light bulb to go off in Yoosung’s head. “Oh! The RFA party! You were there too?”
“Um… yeah,” you nod sneaking a glare over at Saeyoung. His grin only widens in response.
Yoosung doesn’t seem to notice the dirty looks you’re shooting at his friend and pouts at you. “I was one of the hosts… Did you see me? Why didn’t you say hi?”
“You… looked kinda busy when i saw you,” you reply. It’s not entirely a lie, but you also had been actively trying to avoid him as well. “So I didn’t really get a chance…”
That answer seems to satisfy Yoosung, “Oh! I see!”
“Yeah, sorry about that…”
“It’s okay! I hope you still were able to have a good time!” Yoosung gives you a warm smile, which makes you feel a tiny bit guilty. Maybe you should have said hi to him after all… “I don’t remember seeing your name on the guest list, though… Did you come with an organization?”
You nod slowly, not liking where this seems to be headed.
“Oh cool! Which one?”
“Uh…” If possible, you’d like to avoid a slip up like you had last time, but since it’s been a couple weeks you can’t even remember any of the other groups that were there. Maybe you should just come clean after all… It’s not like Yoosung finding out you can hack would be the worst thing in the world.
“Didn’t you say you were part of that group selling keyboards?” Saeyoung interjects, in a surprisingly helpful way. Obviously, you didn’t, and you know Saeyoung knows that. Despite the fact he pushed you into this mess, the fact that he’s throwing you a lifeline is strange. But you’d be a fool not to take it.
“Yeah! Yeah! That’s right!” you agree, a little too enthusiastically.
“Ohhhhh,” Yoosung’s head bobs up and down in an enlightened way and you inwardly sigh, relieved that he seems none the wiser. Then, after a beat, he adds, “I remember you saying you were looking for a new gaming keyboard, Saeyoung, is that how you guys got to talking?”
You glance over at Saeyoung, who’s smile wavers just the tiniest bit, and respond in a careful sort of way, “Yeah, that’s right… he told me that he needed a new keyboard…”
“I thought so!” Yoosung nods again takes a big bite of the sandwich he’d bought for lunch. “Oh, did you know Saeyoung plays LOLOL too?”
“Does he?” you ask, raising an eyebrow. It doesn’t surprise you that a friend of Yoosung’s would play LOLOL, but if you remember right, Saeyoung told you at the party that he was absolutely no good with computers… Was he exaggerating when he said that? You look over at Saeyoung who gives you a tight smile. Something about his expression feels… off, but you can’t seem to pin your finger on it.
Yoosung chirps, “Yep! He’s even on our server!”
“Oh really?” That makes sense. Usually, people tend to play on the same servers as their friends. “What’s your username, maybe I’ve seen you around or something!”
Saeyoung laughs a bit and scratches the back of his neck looking a bit shy, “Ah… I don’t play that often…”
Yoosung nearly spits out the food in his mouth, “What!? You play a lot!”
“...in comparison to you, not really~” Saeyoung teases. You have to stifle a giggle. You don’t know anyone who’s as addicted to LOLOL as Yoosung. It’s a miracle that he’s made it this far in the real world. Sometimes you think that he should just become a professional LOLOL player instead of whatever it is he’s planning on doing in school.
“...you say that, but you’re the best player on the server,” Yoosung retorts, puffing out his cheeks in a pouty sort of way.
You blink, surprised by Yoosung’s comment. The best player on the server is Saeyoung? But that would make him… “Awesome Hacker?”
“Yeah,” Yoosung huffs. “That’s him alright.”
Your breath catches in your throat at the confirmation. You were willing to believe that maybe, despite his lack of computer skills, Saeyoung can still play LOLOL on a casual level. But there’s absolutely no way that someone like that could be the top player on your server. You’ve never played with him personally, but you’ve heard the stories. Awesome Hacker’s skills are known to be unparalleled. Any party that raids with them is guaranteed to be world first. Hell, there are some rumors that Awesome Hacker may have two extra arms and that’s how they’re so good. And you’re supposed to believe that this godly player and Saeyoung are the same person?
One of them has to be lying. And between Yoosung, your friend who you’ve known since the beginning of this semester and Saeyoung, this handsome stranger who you’ve probably known for a total of fifteen minutes or so, it’s clear who you’re going to believe here. You glare at Saeyoung, who meets your gaze with a quiet chuckle. He must be able to tell that you’ve figured out his little ruse. If it weren’t for Yoosung, you’d be giving that liar an earful right about now.
“So, anyway, what were you doing?” Yoosung switches topics, completely oblivious to the stare war going on between you and Saeyoung. “I was calling out to you for a while.”
“Oh, just some homework,” you lie automatically.
“Lunchtime is a good time to do homework...” Yoosung mumbles thoughtfully as he munches on his food. Then, suddenly, he starts coughing like he’s choking. Alarmed, both you and Saeyoung both pat Yoosung on the back, trying to help him clear his throat.
“Yoosung? What’s wrong?” you ask, voice saturated with worry.
“Home...work…” he repeats weakly. Then he snatches his bag and begins rifling through it like a madman. Yoosung doesn’t seem to find what he’s looking for and then looks up at you, like a helpless child, “I...I think I left my homework in my last class….”
“Oh.” Knowing him, he was probably working on it during class instead of paying attention to the lecture. “Maybe it's still there…”
Yoosung’s eyes begin to dart around, as if he’s trying to figure out what he should do. Then he suddenly stands and sputters, “I… I’ll be right back!”
Then, before you can say anything else, he dashes out of the lunchroom.
“I really hope he finds it…” you say quietly, staring at the door he ran out of. It’d suck if he had to redo it, especially if he’d managed to actually get a lot done.
“Hopefully~”
The sound of the other voice causes you to freeze. Yoosung's impromptu departure means that you're alone with him. You turn your head to find Saeyoung staring back with an owlish expression. You have your reservations about being alone with him but at the same time since Yoosung’s gone now, you can actually give this guy a piece of your mind.
“So,” you begin. “You have some explaining to do.”
He shoots you a playfully evasive grin. “Do I?”
Something about the look on his face makes you feel a little tingly, but you ignore it and hiss, “Don't play dumb with me! You said at the party that you were no good with computers, but just now Yoosung said that you're the best player on our LOLOL server.”
Saeyoung merely shrugs and dramatically declares, “Maybe my love for LOLOL transcends my non-existent computer skills!”
“I'm not buying it,” you lean in a little closer to glare at him. “Why did you lie? Do you have something to hide?”
“Nooo~”
“If you’re trying to convince me otherwise, you’re going to have to try harder than that!” You look up into Saeyoung’s eyes, trying to see if maybe you can find something there. But all you can see amidst the golden hue of his eyes is your reflection.
He chuckles a bit and leans in toward you, “Maybe you’re the one who needs to try harder? Your seduction technique needs a little bit of work~”
You squeak when you realize just how close the two of you are to one another and jump backwards so that you’re at a more respectable distance. Saeyoung laughs and despite the fact that you’re red with embarrassment, you continue to glare at him. “I wasn’t trying to seduce you!”
“Oh?” he cocks his head to the side, eyes alight with amusement and a dash of confusion. “That’s too bad.”
You blink. Too… bad? What does that even mean? Did he think you were trying to actually flirt with him? Did he want you to? The thought of it makes your face feel warm and you look away, flustered. You were just trying to intimidate him into telling you the truth, but it- Something clicks in your head and you turn back to Saeyoung, glaring through narrowed eyes, “....are you trying to distract me?”
“Damn, my plan’s been foiled,” he responds in a lighthearted tone that makes it clear that he’s still toying with you. It’s a bit frustrating, but you’re not ready to give up.
You click your tongue in annoyance, “Too bad. So sad. Now out with it, I’m not letting you go until you tell me what you know.”
“...don’t you have class soon?”
He has a point. You look away from him, contemplating for a bit before you mutter, “I… I’ll skip it.”
“...what about when Yoosung comes back?” he adds, still clearly amused by all this. “Are you going to keep grilling me then?”
You groan. He’s got a point there too. Of course, you could just reveal to Yoosung that you’re a hacker, but you’re still not sure if your friendship is with him is on a high enough level for that reveal yet. Saeyoung still had that damn grin plastered on that smug mug of his. You can’t help but wonder where a nice guy like Yoosung met a dude like this.
“Give up yet?” he asks in a mockingly sweet voice.
“No!” you sit up straight and continue to glower at him. “Listen, obviously you must know something because if you didn’t, you would just tell me and be done with it.”
“Oh, you think so?”
For a split second, you doubt yourself. There’s the chance that this guy is just some weirdo who knows nothing and is just enjoying screwing with you right now. But he was at that party and he’s here right now. You don’t think that’s some coincidence.
“No. You definitely know something,” you tell him firmly. “Tell me what you know. Though, even if you don’t, I’ll find out one way or another- I am a hacker, you know.”
Saeyoung’s catlike smile is replaced with a contemplative stare. Is that… a bad sign? You’re not quite sure, so you peer into his eyes again, trying to see if you can find a trace of what he could possibly be thinking. Once more you find nothing, and he says nothing, you feel a ball of nervousness begin to grow inside you. Then, he begins to speak, and you brace yourself for whatever he has to say.
But what you hear isn’t an explanation, but a loud cackle. Saeyoung holds his stomach as he dissolves in a fit of laughter. You can’t help but feel a bit embarrassed sitting next to him as he’s starting to gain an audience. Once he starts to calm down, he speaks, wiping at the tears that had formed at the corners of his eyes, “...okay, you got me.”
Your pulse quickens at the sound of his words.
“I’ll tell you what I know.”
