❛ 𝕆𝕗 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤 & 𝕄𝕖𝕟 ❜

I originally made this character for a monster hunting roleplay that had predetermined roles, specifically "The Individualist." I initially planned to write him as withdrawn and more grumpy than outright belligerent, but I became inspired by the sort of self-reliant, yet resentful behavior that one of my old coworkers (roughly the same age as Khun) used to display. Unlike her however, he's a loose cannon who seems to believe that his methods are the end-all of monster hunting.

In terms of powers, I decided to go with a different route than the classic Green Lantern/Gwen Tennyson type of psychic constructs. I thought about how simple constructs tended to be, specifically how few moving parts there were. Where was the variety? The creativity? Obviously, it would be difficult to render a gun in the heat of battle but it'd be a hell of a lot cooler than some bullets. And imagine the utility of creating a key!

  Standing at 6'3" with a lanky frame, it would be easy to overlook Khun as a hunter, but that would be discounting the lean muscle hiding beneath his clothes. Were it not for the dark circles under his red eyes, one could easily mistake him for a teenager. His round cheeks, an upturned nose, and smooth skin shave years off of his appearance while the frosted tips on his black hair remind his superiors of a far gone era. When he isn't wearing protective gear, Khun will put the least amount of effort into his clothing as possible. Getting him to wear something more formal than joggers is a herculean task, done only for weddings, ceremonies, and funerals.

  skills & ability info.

  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXPsychic Constructs: He likens his abilities to a 3D printer, able to create any object he can visualize by channeling psychic energy. Though he cannot produce living entities like plants or animals, objects such as guns, plates, and even shacks are child's play. The amount and quality of constructs he can produce are limited by how much energy he expends while making it. A gun with very little psychic energy will disintegrate after a single shot (if it fires at all) while one he pours his heart into may last up to a full day. Whether by choice or limitation, all of his constructs bear the same color as his irises.
  
  Weapon of Choice: When he isn't using his powers, his go-to weapon is shotgun with a bayonet attachment. While both can be wielded separately, they are far more effective as a unit.
  
  Skills: Aside from his proficiency in wielding ranged weapons, Khun has a talent for visual arts, digital art being his favorite. He can often be found drawing monsters he's encountered in the past, mapping out buildings, and creating mock-ups of his next psychic construct. Blender and Photoshop are his favored tools, but nothing comes close to the nostalgia of MS Paint.
  
  

  relationships.

  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  Laith Kimani - The Unknown The two have a surprisingly good relationship as far as coworkers go, albeit Khun has his suspicions. Despite not having any powers, he acknowledges the other man's grit and believes that were Laith to ever get on the field, he'd actually be good leader. He wouldn't be chosen without reason. When they aren't working together, one can typically find them exchanging memes or videos that only the most terminally online individuals would understand. On the off chance Khun ask questions about his past, Laith is more than happy to silence him with a good meal.
  Matheo Bassett - The Helper Matheo is one of the few team members Khun tolerates. The dog (and hype man) to his cat, his ability to see past Khun's abrasiveness had allowed their relationship to flourish, albeit at the expense of Matheo's patience. It isn't uncommon for Khun to gift a drawing or introduce Matheo to one of his fleeting hobbies nor for Matheo to defuse the ticking time bomb that is Khun. On the off chance that he finally calls out Khun's behavior, the older man will lash out just as harshly.
  Nathaniel Santos - The Investigator text
  Elise Ashford - The Achiever text
  Colton Yao - The Loyalist He swears his grievances with Colton are entirely logical. As a firm believer in meritocracy, Khun thinks that Colton doesn't deserve a spot in their faction and takes every opportunity he can to remind him of that. Every action is viewed with a critical eye, moreso after finding out about Blaire's fleeting crush. The two often struggle for a leadership position, only ever calling a truce when danger truly hits.
  Blaire Kato - The Reformer Prior to joining Artemis, the two of them were in the same faction wherein they disliked each other, but worked well when he would play ball when she would listen to him. This proved especially pertinent when their team was killed in Aruba several years prior. She's the only one who knows what happened during the mission and why he was nearly kicked from the association and because of this, she's one of the few people he feels close to on the team. Though he is often dismissive of her, she's pretty much the only person that can reason with him.
  Khun Narukami - The Individualist Ignoring all of the trauma that his last squad caused him, he feels pretty good about himself. He should probably unpack that someday...
  Ziva Kang - The Challenger Petty, stubborn, venomous, it's like arguing with a younger, more unhinged version of himself. Whether it's her eating his food, him bullying Deva, or who has custody of Blaire, the two argue like divorced parents, flinging every insult under the sun at one another. It's a perpetual game of chicken where neither side wants to back down. The only time they seem to work as a team is when someone tries to court Blaire or a weak personality chums the waters. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
  Deva Hawea - The Peacemaker Khun thinks Deva is weak is due to what he believes to be "both sides-ism." It isn't to say that he doesn't appreciate her ability to defuse a high tension situation, but that he doesn't value kindness in the same way that he does ambition, combat prowess or cleverness. With an ability as powerful and flexible as hers, Deva's people-pleasing is holding her back. Much to his annoyance (and amusement), she's taken it upon herself to lighten him up with various pranks, something that he's returned in kind.
  Baiyen Suwan - The Enthusiast Dubbed the "dumb muscle", he likens her to an annoying, younger sister. Aside from Ziva, she's the only one willing to slap him when he's being too much of a hater. He also considers her to be one of his favored combat partners and often creates weapons for her.
  

  misc.

  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  -He loves card games and TTRPGs, but has been banned by Wizards of the Coast for undisclosed reasons
  -Is constantly in Twitter beefs
  -He is a terrible cook, often relying on take out or meal kits.
  -Many have questioned how natural his hair color is, to which he responds "as natural as your shoes."
  
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  Khun's legacy has been marred in controversy, stemming primarily from his entitled behavior. With a strict father and a hawkish mother, he seemed to externalize their their behaviors, resenting people's dependence on him in the same breath that he asks for backup. People who can't commit to his reckless (though successful) schemes are deemed as dead weight and at the ripe old age of twenty-six, he's too old to carry. It isn't uncommon for him to pick at people's shortcomings and tell whomever is under performing to fuck off (doubly so if they're sick or injured). Shouldering responsibility unprompted is a common tactic and has only further fed into his impression that he is the one cleaning up everyone's mess.
  
  The only way to get him to cooperate seems to be fluffing his ego and gently nudging him towards productive behavior, something that makes him rather easily to manipulate. Though working with his team made him more receptive to other people's input, much of that progress was undone when he left his old team. Despite Artemis being his last chance at being a hunter, he doesn't seem worried that his behavior will cause him to make the same mistakes that nearly led to his expulsion. In his words, "Why would I get kicked out? It's everyone else who sucks."

odessa atreides

❛ Dies Irae: Astral Fulcrum ❜

Dies Irae was my first foray into a Mecha RP, but not my first foray into sci-fi so I focused on the latter. I wanted to make some parallels to colonization, specifically the way Hawaii was seized for pineapple and sugar cane production. Odessa herself is a case of the rebellious rich girl trying to stand for something that she does not have the grit to handle.

I intended the first arc of the roleplay to be when she realized her prior success was due to being a big fish in a small pond. Among the best of the best in this school, she was nothing more than your average pilot. During the first battle she was an absolute flop, though that was also due to my own inexperience with collaborating at such a grand scale (and not knowing how much I could write before stepping on any toes lol).

Unfortunately, the roleplay closed before I could make anymore progress on her ego death. Due to the specificity of her backstory she'll be retired.

  TO THE END by TeddyLoid

  Style

  Odessa knows more about fashion than she knows what to do with. Being her to be her mother's mannequin wasn't enough. She had to learn the tenets of womenswear as it applied to galas, offices, and even dances. The fashion glossary was her best friend for many years and even now, the terms are drilled into her head. For most girls, this might have meant being plopped into frilly dresses or uncomfortably revealing outfits but Jessica valued style above all else. She encouraged Odessa's affinity for suits and athleisure, hiring tailors and obtaining the best fabric that money could buy. Though Odessa left most of her clothes behind, she still owes her capsule wardrobe to her mother and the stylish outfits that came with them.

  Personality

  There's no cure for fools or so the saying goes. Odessa is two parts smug, one part caustic, and another part solitary. An upbringing wrought with backhanded compliments, snide remarks, and scathing criticism has made her immune to most insults. She seems to think herself above most things: politeness, patriotism, social ranking...it's a wonder she has any allies.
  
  Reserved, but cordial, she has no issues approaching those she deems "worthy" nor reciprocating their friendship. Good samaritans, disruptors, future rivals, she cares not about class or ranking but content of character. She holds a particular disdain for nobles, seeing them as a reminder of her past. Though she was never royalty, her family's proximity to lordship unsettles her and rarely speaks of her origins.
  
  Instead, Odessa focuses on the lives of others, picking at their brains for ways to further her own goals. She takes great care to remember the words and actions of others, tucking missteps into her back pocket. She claims that they aren't grudges, but rather observable truths that occurred in the past. It's rarely malicious of course. She isn't so petty to insult someone's constant choking. But she isn't above cutting someone down an enemy nor teaching an ally to do the same.
• Backstory I

  Once a proud and self-sufficient planet, Caladan was seized by the Fabanian Empire centuries ago for its agricultural utility. Lush forests, clear beaches, and a temperate climate meant that not only could they grow all manner of crops, they were also the vacation destination for Fabanian nobility and Sorenti travelers. Tourism makes up roughly sixty percent of their economy, with the rest being food exports.
  
  Odessa was one of the lucky few who grew up the child of a real estate developer rather than a displaced native, but that didn't stop her from skirting the line between privileged brat and sympathizer. It wasn't her money. It was her parents' money. She still had to work for her father during summer vacation. She still went to public school like everyone else. She still had to do her own chores.
  
  Except that she had a chance to own the family business one day. She could afford her own apartment without ever having to work a day in her life. She could jet away to another planet if she so chose.
  
  Odessa was keenly aware that she was better off than most of Caladan's citizens, often earning the annoyance of her classmates whenever she divulged her troubles. Being yelled at for failing an exam wasn't quite as troubling as your friend's apartment building being demolished to build a new resort. So she publicly denounced her family and picked up the tab whenever they went out, but it was merely a bandage for what her family was doing.
  
  She argued for reform with the same mouth that ate out of her parents' hand. The only difference between her and her twin was that he didn't bother hiding his opulence. He had no time for performative activism, opting instead to embrace their family's lifestyle.
  
  "If you hate us so much, why don't you just leave?"
  
  The question rolled around in her head for several years before she spoke with a recruiter that visited her school. The promise of a new life and the ability to hone her magic was enough for her to enlist in the military. Participating in the Youth Corps Program acclimated her to a life independent to her family's influence and soon, she found herself forging new bonds.
  
  Eventually, Odessa was selected for the MOBIUS program with Elder Mages citing her strategic prowess and precision in magic usage.

  Personal Effects

  Odessa travels light, boasting a capsule wardrobe and a total of three sentimental items. The first is a tawdry romance that jump started her gay awakening. The second is a glove covered in esoteric runes. The third is an antique revolver of questionable origin. Though she assures all her guests that it isn't in working condition, she's a quick draw when challenged.

  God Slayer: Belial wields a sniper rifle intended for long range, single target combat. Intended to pierce through both organic and inorganic objects alike, it can house a variety of ammunition types including incendiary, armor piercing, explosive, and most importantly, antimatter. With an energy release two magnitudes above fusion weapons, a single shot would spell the end of most mecha, much less an organic being.

  B.O.A. Resonance

  Graviton Lance: Belial gathers and condenses mana from its surroundings into a massive sphere before firing it towards an enemy. Anything caught within its vicinity will be sucked in, not unlike a black hole.

❛ heartless: redux ❜

Lovecraft aka Benjamin Lynch Jr. is my love letter to Nicolas Cage--a pastiche of different roles and references wrapped in a snakeskin jacket. In a world where villains are down to earth, nuanced, and powerful I wanted someone who enjoyed playing into the bad guy role. Rather than a big player however, I wanted a silly little henchman to give the roleplay some levity without going down MCU Deadpool quip territory.

At the time I didn't have a power or or name, I just saw Nicolas Cage and knew it had to be him. Watching Wild at Heart, Vampire's Kiss, and Leaving Las Vegas only cemented my choice as I began writing him. His last name is a reference to the late David Lynch and that snakeskin jacket inspired his Snake Manifestation power. I picture him having a dramatic death one day; dying in an uncool way would be a nightmare.

Personal Details

General Description

Larger than life, stranger than fiction, and yet just an odd little guy. Benjamin will wait an extra five minutes before entering his enemy's lair (because it's good to be fashionably late). He will take someone's cigarette and put it out on his tongue. He will spend ten minutes mocking your super suit because your inseam is too tight. At the same time, he doesn't let his ego get the better of him. Benjamin is hyper aware of his shortcomings, masking his lack of education and resources behind theatrics. More often than not, splitting your head into a plethora of snakes is enough to scare away fresh heroes and powerless vigilantes. Anyone he can't drive off, he subjects to his paralyzing gaze, constriction, or excessive monologues before being interrupted by a punch or higher up.

It's irritating for the more practical minded Hell Hounds, (of which there are a lot) but Benjamin can't help the media he was raised on. In his words, "they need to bring back real speeches. Not just the back and forth banter all the kids are into these days." Unlike fiction however, Lovecraft doesn't honor television guidelines. He has no conniptions killing those who get in his way be they innocent or guilty, human or animal. He maintains that this ruthlessness is what has kept him alive for so many years and shrugs off the psychological toll it would normally take upon a person.

Instead he dabbles in sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. A performer at heart, he carries his dramatic persona into his private life and takes joy in entertaining his friends (few as they are). Those who don't know his secret identity see him as a jester while those who do question his commitment to the Hell Hounds. In another life he might have gone to broadway, but for now he'll settle for revenge.

Abilities & Weaknesses

Monstrous Physiology

Lovecraft has the ability to manifest snakes from any part of his body (head included) and control or share sensory information with them as he would his limbs. Pitch black scales with with yellow eyes, the snakes are highly aggressive, fast, and stronger than any existing snake. Spanning anywhere between five and fifteen feet in length, he typically uses them to overwhelm his opponents before consuming them. Though they aren't much hardier than existing snakes, their venom is comparable to the Inland Taipan and should one fall, Lovecraft can generate another.

Paralyzing Gaze

Particularly potent when he turns his head into a nest of snakes, he can paralyze the movements and bodily functions of any being that he maintains eye contact with for more than a few seconds. Once his line of sight is broken or he switches his eyes back to their depowered form, anyone who was paralyzed will be free to move once more.

Superhuman Visage

His strength, speed, durability, regeneration, and stamina far exceed that of normal humans. Due to his monstrous physiology, he has also developed an immunity to all types of venom.

Ravenous

His body requires a lot of energy to maintain. Where the average person may need 2,000 calories, he needs ten times the amount depending on how many snakes he creates. Though the snakes themselves can digest objects, Lovecraft must still provide them with extra sustenance otherwise they will wither and die. Should he be starved, he won't be able to generate healthy snakes (if any at all).

Ectothermic

As with all snakes, Lovecraft requires ambient heat to maintain his optimal body temperature. Should the area be too cold, he will behave more sluggishly.

Historical Biography

Year 2058

Born to a drug trafficker and a private school teacher, Benjamin was destined to villany if not a life of crime. Though his mother was complicit in her husband's work, she was also kind. As far as Ben knew, his father was a traveling salesman who could only come home for intermittent visits and holidays. Extended family was similarly not in the picture. It was just him, his parents, and the strangers that his father would sometimes bring home.

Year 2067

The more things change, the more they stay the same. After the Change, Benjamin could manifest snakes, immobilize with a stare, and outpace his peers. His father, similarly, developed his own abilities that he kept secret from all but the closest in his life. His mother appeared to develop minor telekinesis, but never used it for anything more than levitating a lighter.

Year 2074

Ambroisa, food of the gods as his father called it. Benjamin had been sixteen when he snorted his first line in a nightclub bathroom. Initially he thought his father had a cocaine addiction but Ambrosia turned out to be so much more. His pupils dilated, his ears throbbed, and his muscles tensed with anticipation. Time may not have slowed down but suddenly he could see every movement, hear every sound, and smell everything in the club. Fighting off the bouncer became an easy task and he was numb to his bloody knuckles. His friends had been far more reserved, opting for a microdose. Even his snakes seemed to go mad with power, but a tranquilizer quickly put that to a close.

When his mother dragged him home from the police station, Ben assumed that he would be grounded for life; instead, she and his father told him the truth about his father's work. Where he'd merely been a smuggler during Ben's early years, the man had both locally and overseas by selling Ambrosia. As far as the criminal world was concerned, Benjamin Senior was known as Orpheus and the rest of his gang, Ichor. Though it had been far earlier than he had planned, he left Ben with two choices: forget the conversation and live a civilian life or join Ichor.

Naturally, Benjamin Junior had chosen Ichor. His grades were terrible and his powers didn't exactly make him hero material. Despite his mother's warnings about it being a path that he couldn't walk back, he dropped out of school and had their symbol tattooed on the back of his shoulder.

Year 2080

Life was about as good as things could be for a young criminal. Benjamin (now Hydra) had taken over most of the west coast and was eager to spread his roots. The idea of infinite growth weighed on his mind and where better to branch out than the heart of America? With his father convinced, the two headed to Heartbeat City where it seemed that word had already spread.

Much to Hydra and Orpheus' consternation "Ambrosia" had been circulating the metropolis two years prior to their arrival. Where a more levelheaded person might have tried cutting a deal with the Hell Hounds, Benjamin despised the idea of some second rate dealers peddling counterfeit product. From what Ichor could ascertain, the only difference between authentic Ambrosia and the fake was the boost in power when used. Ambrosia was far more potent, though nobody would reveal why.

Either way it didn't matter. If the Hell Hounds were so bent on fighting the gods, they'd fight back.

Year 2085

A five year war proved that there was no honor among thieves. Even with reinforcements, most of the members within that branch were either dead or defected in favor of protection. Whether the Hell Hounds sold Ambrosia or Nectar (as he began calling it), the masses were happy to lap up whatever their dollar could get them. Their best bet would have been abandoning Heartbeat City, yet neither Orpheus nor Hydra wanted to admit defeat. How could either of them live knowing that they had nothing to show for their efforts?

Year 2086

Orpheus died and Ambrosia died with it.

Year 2087

Where Hydra went missing some time after Ichor had fallen, a new member of the Hell Hounds emerged. Horrifying in visage and eccentric in demeanor, Lovecraft would prove himself as the best henchman a villain could ask for and perhaps the best enemy to keep close.

roland maynard

❛ 𝐀 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 ❜

Coming off the Succession binge, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Great Gatsby, this roleplay appeared at the perfect time for me. I wanted Roland to serve as sort of the "Greg" role in that he's trying for a piece of the business pie despite not having strong ties to the Maynard family. He's a clout chaser, an indecisive fuck, and earnest in his quest to blend in with everyone. There were plans for him to feed false information (i.e. things he made up to seem informed) to someone in the Warner (rivaling) family, but unfortunately the roleplay did not get far enough for that to happen.

• summary:

  Roland is a lesson in being a social chameleon. More than being friendly or low maintenance, there is an earnestness in the way he wants to impress. Whether a single person or a clique, he subsumes all of their qualities into himself and becomes a playful mirror of their interests.
  
  Where most people would be content with being a dilettante, his fixations are genuine and his commitment unshaken so long as he continues bumping elbows with those he admires. Even traits as basic as cattiness or impulsivity will find their home in Roy who fully believes in the masks he dons.
  
  It's fair to say that his attempts at subterfuge mild at best and clumsy at worst. His lack of identity leaves him wanting for validation, always prioritizing group harmony even when his brain screams at him to take advantage of others. In an ideal world Roland wouldn't feel indebted to his father. Roland wouldn't hear his father's demands to seize the opportunity that he squandered away.
  
  Unfortunately, he can't deny the familial obligations born from his family's final gamble, a liberal arts degree.

• history:

  Born out of an affair between Reese Maynard and his assistant manager, Roland's childhood was marred with controversy. Though he was once lauded for his business acumen and intuitive forecasting, alcoholism and a gambling addiction left him constantly begging for a bailout from his parents.
  
  It left him with little time to be with his wife or son for that matter. He far preferred the company of his co-workers, the bartenders, and the women hanging around the gambling parlor.
  
  That meant Roland spent most of his time with his friends at school while his mother was busy peddling essential oils. Family outings were rare, generally done as a means of appeasing Roland after a fight (typically over money). That wasn't to say Reese and Jeanine hated each other, but the air was often thick with regret. Roy was a mistake, a trap, something that should have been taken care of all those years ago.
  
  His mother reassured him that his father didn't mean it. The words were just drunken ramblings and everything would be better in the morning.
  
  So he believed her, even when she was the one saying them.
  
  They managed to keep the illusion of a happy family for ten years before Roland's father was charged with an aggravated DUI. While nobody died, the injured party sued Reese for several million dollars and smeared the Maynard name. Furious, Reese's father finally exiled him from the family and removed him from the will.
  
  Where being disowned would be a wake up call for most people, Roland's father only spiraled. Roland went from riding in the back of his father's Porsche to (illegally) driving him home. He became the boy discarding bottles and eight balls because his mother found better men to spend the night with. Whenever he cleaned up after his father, Roland was a lightning rod of frustrations and an ear for Reese's half-baked idea of worming his way back into the family.
  
  In another life the three could have been living comfortably middle class, but neither of his parents wanted to downsize. It wasn't enough to be rich;they had to seem wealthy. If they didn't keep up appearances then the public (and his former family by extension) would know that they were failing. Thus the family continued hemorrhaging money as Reese struggled to keep a job and Jeanine legally separated.
  
  Still, Roland couldn't bring himself to hate his father. Not when he was the man who stayed to raise him. In a moment of lucidity, his father held up a letter of acceptance to Cornell University in one hand and a check with the other. He congratulated Roland on making good use of the family name and delivered a half-hearted apology before passing out on the couch.
  
  Roland spent the next six years in college pursuing a chemical engineering degree before realizing that the department wasn't for him. Pivoting to English provided him with a greater sense of purpose, but few job prospects once be left Cornell. He bounced around various jobs, growing more burnt out with each change.
  
  Though his father's money paid for the first two years of schooling, he still had a number of loans to pay back. Roland hopes that by reaching out to Philip he might secure a piece of the family fortune...or at least a cushy job.

  
  
  

  relationships:

  Reese Maynard:

  He is Roland's father and the scourge of the Maynard family. Where he sees his son has a means of getting back into the family's good graces, Roland sees a husk of a man ruined by addiction. As much as he wants to hate his father for the strict upbringing, yelling, and glasses thrown his way, he feels obligated to repay his father for helping fund his college.
  

  
  
  Jeanine Maynard:

  They look like siblings, or so her friends say. Aside from passing on most of her genes to Roland, Jeanine's skin care regimen has left her looking far younger than her driver's license suggests. Though Reese was always the worse of the two, he could never quite forgive her for leaving him with his father.

  
  
  
  sibling:

  none, thankfully.

❛ 𝖑𝖊𝖆𝖛𝖊𝖘 𝖋𝖗𝖔𝖒 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖛𝖎𝖓𝖊 ❜

After the horrid live action film, rumors about the original creators leaving over "creative differences," and Netflix's propensity for slop, I had little faith in the success of the live action ATLA series. I was proven right because it was a soulless remake that missed the point of the original. Nonetheless, it also drove me to apply for this roleplay.

In the altered timeline of this roleplay, the villain faction wanted to overthrow Zuko and install Azula as the chosen ruler of the Fire Nation; however, I couldn't justify why anyone would follow a disgraced princess. I decided that rather than making a worshiper, it would be more interesting to have a traitor--someone who was using the team for her own gain.

Due to this character being specifically tailored to the worldbuilding of this roleplay (namely the "Shadowbending"), she will be fully retired.

  description

  She is immaculate, even among her sisters. Plump lips, alabaster skin, and a statuesque figure would lead one to believe that she's a courtesan rather than an assassin. It's her scarred legs, piercing stare, and muscular form that betray her bloody past. She's built for climbing, for clawing, for snapping necks between her thighs. She keeps her white hair short because it's easier to style and far more striking on the occasions she removes her mask. No assassin with her salt would allow herself to be identified so easily, but so few escape her grasp that it's no concern to her.

  • Burn scars across her calves
  • Thin, blue tattoos on her thigh.

  ◈ PERSONALITY ◈

  
  

  description

  A spider is patient. A spider is kind. It does not envy or boast. It spins a blanket for the cold, it weaves a bed for the weary, and bandages the wounded. It waits for them to fall asleep before feasting on the weak. Honeyed words leave her lips, disguising the venom injected in her speech. It lulls her victims into thinking her an ally, a friend, a lover, whatever is necessary to lead them to her web. And before they know it, they've been snared.
  
  Control is her domain, both internal and external. She keeps a tight leash on her emotions and delights in manipulating that of others. People only see the side of her that she allows; she has a mask for every occasion. She feigns vulnerability as easily as she breathes, teasing out people's weaknesses in exchange for some semblance of intimacy. Authenticity is meant for herself and herself only. Any threat to the environment she's created is met with a measured response because she dares not to lose face. She'd rather stay close to her enemies and chip away at their hostility until they finally let their guard down.
  
  Then Jorogumo strikes, sparing no man, woman, or child in her pursuit for power. She is loyal only to the Kemurikage as she considers him her family. Her filial piety prevents her from raising a hand to the clan, unless the Mother Flame wills it so.
  
  But that doesn't apply to the former Fire Lord Azula.
  
  Unlike the other Pyre Sisters, Jorogumo doesn't believe Azula to be a messiah nor does she think of herself as Azula's vessel. Though she may be a powerful figure, she a pawn all the same. She is merely Vaatu's vessel and the key to securing the Kemurikage's reign over the Fire Nation. She did not grow up bathed in billowing flame. She was a pampered princess who collapsed under own delusions.
  
  And once Jorogumo becomes Mother Flame, Azula will be devoured all the same.

  favorite season?

  Autumn presents the perfect balance between fire and kindling.

  favorite atla animal? Do they have a pet?

  Dragons. I've always wanted to hunt one, but sadly they've gone extinct. For now, I have the company of my familiars.

  VIEW ON THE STATE OF THEIR NATION?

  Fire Lord Zuko is so generous. He gives and he gives with no regard for the pieces of culture he's removing or the financial toll it's taking on the Fire Nation. I find it hard to believe his half-hearted projects are anything more than a form of self-flagellation. He should have conceded the throne to Azula long ago rather than letting this country decay.

  VIEW ON THEIR ATLA CANON PARENT/MENTOR?

  I've sworn fealty to the Kemurikage. The clan has been my lifeline, my family, and my purpose for living. It would be an honor to execute Mother Flame's will and foster the connection between Vaatu and Azula.
  

  VIEW ON THE AVATAR?

  There's an irony in his death. Can you imagine an Air Nomad taking another life? Not only did Aang die but did so after abandoning his principles. I suppose that is the consequence of aligning yourself with Raava.

  WHAT IS THEIR BIGGEST FEAR?

  Fear is the mind killer. I dare not speak of the possibility that I may be betrayed by the Kemurikage.

  
  
• 「 HISTORY 」
  ◈ HISTORY ◈

  
  

  description/questions

  
  

  what is their favorite childhood memory?

  Favorite? What does it mean for something to be your favorite? Is it the most poignant? The one most potent? The one that leaves you yearning? I don't yearn for my childhood and if I want a reminder, I can always turn to my scars.

  what is a memory embarrasses them?

  There is no greater shame than losing face, especially when a non-bending degenerate is involved. A rebel ambushed me in my younger years and blocked not only my bending but my arms and legs. Though my sisters disposed of her, nothing could cleanse the embarrassment I felt while disrobing in front of the Kemurikage's healer.

  Have they ever experienced a moment of intense fear or danger? How did they react?

  It was a clash of bending under the full moon. Shadow versus Blood, a teenager versus a true mercenary. He broke my strings and brought me to my knees. I thought he was going to kill me, but he opted for something much worse. For days, he forced me to dance, to watch, to be with him. When my sister attempted to save me, he turned me into a puppet and my twin's killer. I thought I would never break free, but the waning moon gave me the opportunity to escape.

  What is a regret or mistake from their past that still lingers in their thoughts?

  I could have built a life with her, but that would mean exile. I could have tried taking her under my wing, but she was too weak. I did what was necessary, but there is no greater regret than what could have been.

❛ 𝘾𝙔𝘽𝙀𝙍𝙋𝙐𝙉𝙆𝟚𝟘𝟟𝟡::𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚡𝚢 ❜

My goal for this character sheet was complete verisimilitude. It was important that the character sheet looked like something that Kevin would make for himself. Without having too many FC resources, it was difficult finding someone who fit my e-boy aesthetic but one of my lovely friends came through with Rafayel!

I'm not a big of the Cyberpunk series. My knowledge comes from the anime, PHB, and Wiki. Instead I focused on what sci-fi is a reflection of: our present day (a big part of why I opted for TV and web instead of screamsheets). Just as we've become more comfortable watching and recording people through a screen, he too is a fly on the wall. He lives for the spectacle--he's willing to die for it. He was someone who carried the big city dreams and the conscience of a middle schooler. By far my biggest inspiration was Nightcrawler (2014), but Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and certain content creators also played major roles.

Keeping in line with his focus on breaking a story and streaming live footage, all of his body modifications are focused around making recording safer and easier. In retrospect, I should have given him cyberware that would allow more mobility but with everyone and their mom up to their gills in chrome...less is more.

It's a pity that I never got to write for him in character but I had tons of fun with the creation process.

timeline

• 2055:
  Kiệt is born to a Techie family in Vietnam. While nowhere near the 1 (or even 10)% of the country, they can live very comfortably.
• 2071:
  Kiệt begins streaming in high school after being inspired by his favorite content creators. He goes by the name "Nightcrawler" online due to his tendency of streaming late into the night. For non-Vietnamese speakers, he introduces himself as "Kevin."
• 2072:
  He's given a significant boost after a NUSA streamer has her audience raid his channel.
• 2073:
  Kevin drops out of college and begins streaming in English full time.
• 2073-2076:
  He becomes one of Southeast Asia's top streamers, specializing in real life streams (wherein he performs, spies on people, and generally acts like a menace).
• 2076:
  On the advice of his fellow streamers, he gets cyberware installed to augment his activities and allow him more access to strange spaces.
• 2077:
  It's time to up his game. No more gaming and on the ground streams. He makes the decision to blow his money on the last piece of his chrome: Optical Camo.
• 2078:
  Kevin arrives in Night City with nothing more than a backpack and a dream. A few people know him from his streaming days, but it does fuck all for getting a reporter position. Instead, he becomes a Stringer, submitting footage in exchange for eddies in addition to his website. Most of it's sent back to his old ripperdoc so he's perpetually broke.

motivation

Fame.

goals

He aspires to create a story that's meaningful and leaves a legacy.

personality

Kevin gazes into the abyss with reckless abandon. The mystique of Night City resides in its darkness--the warts and pustules covered by flashing billboards and a neon moonlight. The ley lines of gang wars, corrupt politicians, and decaying morality call to him like sweet nectar dripping from a snap trap.

However, Kevin knows the hunger is a dangerous thing. Unlike many of Night City's denizens, his first instinct during violence is finding a vantage point before letting events unfold. Unless something directly interests him, he sees no benefit in jumping into the fray. Instead he watches and waits for the right moment, the perfect shot that will land him in the screamsheets. Dead men tell no tales and certainly, can't accept an award.

With how few resources Kevin has at his disposal, he's learned to make friends in (mostly) high places. Regardless of their background, he gives them the type of attention they crave, whether it be playful teasing, flirting, or unconditional validation. He does his best to stay out of personal conflict, only stepping in as a private ear.

exploit

Juicy Gossip: Information draws him like a hot pie on the window sill, specifically sensationalized news. If someone can trick him into believing that a rumor has enough truth behind it, he'll do you a favor.

strengths

• Brave:
  "Fear" isn't in Kevin's vocabulary unless he's taunting someone for having one. Whenever he feels afraid, his response is never to turn back but double down.
• Gregarious:
  Contrary to his cheeky, on-screen persona, he acts friendly in person. He takes time to learn people's names, interests, and coax them out of their shells. It isn't uncommon for him to chat with a stranger, whether they a friend or enemy.
• Patient:
  As much as it pains him, he's grown to understand that reality is a smatter of events interspersed with a whole lot of nothing. It's better to wait for something than miss the big event just because he became restless.

weaknesses

• Callous:
  While not quite toys, he views people through the lens of content. If they entertain him, he'll stick around, but is more likely to record someone falling than helping them stand.
• Arrogant:
  He tends to overestimate the feasibility of his schemes and his own abilities. Having survived so many situations by luck alone, he seems to believe himself capable of impossible tasks. If a person expresses doubt, he'll dismiss them as a nonbeliever. If he fails, he'll suck in the pain pretend that he totally meant to do that.
• Lonely:
  Despite a plethora of online connections, Kevin's real friends are few and far between. There seems to be a barrier that disallows him from being emotionally vulnerable without couching it in irony.

family/friends

• Hung Nguyen:
  His father, owner of a large rice farm.
• Phuong Khuu:
  His mother, an elementary school teacher.

❛ Cyberpunk: Streets of Fire ❜

What's this, a double feature? Why yes it is! I created Vaitiare for a roleplay known as Cyberpunk: Archangel, which was my actual first attempt at this series. Back then I had even less knowledge, but I came off of working a physically demanding job, one where injury was not uncommon. When thinking about her backstory the thought that really resonated with me was "damn it's expensive to be poor."

While I imagine that quite a bit of manufacturing would be automated but the 2070s, there will always need to be a level of human involvement whether it be quality assurance, troubleshooting, or assembly of items too complex for machinery. Her mixture of preem and scuffed cyberware is the price of moving into a new, more dangerous part of her life.

In Archangel, she was new to edgerunning because I was new to Cyberpunk. I didn't know what exact path I wanted her to go down other than "muscle that slowly goes psycho trying to perform crime-life balance."

In Streets of Fire, she's more seasoned and making good money, not good enough to repay all the debts, but she keeps food on the table and her brother in private school.

I also commissioned art of her!

APPEARANCE

Vaitiare is a tall, muscular woman who wears her chrome on her sleeves. Unlike most people, she doesn't consider it necessary to look human. They serve as a reminder of her past mistakes and the reason she became an Edgerunner. Her green eyes burn with determination while severe cheekbones give her the appearance of someone older and more experienced. One would think with such a worn expression, she wouldn't invest in something as frivolous as fashion, but it's quite the opposite. She adorns her locs with fabric bands and metallic cuffs, often swapping colors based on her mood. When she isn't on a gig, she'll swap her form fitting clothing for looser clothing reminiscent of retro trends.

Section 03. Background

PERSONALITY

Vaitiare is a conflicted woman. It's impossible for her to be neutral on a subject because she has a strong sense of justice but knows she's in the minority of Edgerunners. Her allies, her fixers, and damn near all of her clients are liars, hoarders, and cheats. They recruit her because they can't or won't do the dirty work alone; she accepts because her brother's tuition isn't going to pay for itself. The turmoil plays out in little ways like anonymously tossing a few eddies towards the kids whose parents she killed or negotiating for less casualties. It sways her towards any gigs that stick it to the corpos and lawmen who failed her.

Her family is both a burden and a boon. She knows that without them, she could have a life of her own, but what good is money if you have nobody to spend it on? Instead Vaitiare takes small comforts like buying the family a robot dog or taking them to a movie (a real movie and not a BD). Most days that's enough, but some days the back of her brain itches. It longs to restart the movement.

It longs to watch the world burn.

EARLY LIFE

Vaitiare didn't always live in Night City. Born in Papeete, Tahiti, her family immigrated when she was around ten years old in search of greener pastures. For all of Night City's failings, the euros were worth more than the pacific franc and Night City was a cheaper move than to France. Though she barely spoke English, she found herself as the go between for landlords, teachers, doctors, and any intermediaries once she picked up the language. Between school, helping her parents fill out job applications, and later, taking care of her younger brother it was a miracle that she had anything resembling a social life.

Being the babysitter for first generation immigrants, 6th street members, and retired corpos, Vaitiare had a tangential connection to every family within Santo Domingo. Combine that with a few weeks as a cleaner and dog sitter and she became a fly on the wall and a trusted confidant for those who either couldn't or didn't want to go to therapy. She'd be the first to hear about the latest scandal coming out of the district and in some cases, those having to do with the higher ups of the industry. It was easy to bond over gossip, but it didn't equate to true friendship. As she grew older, those who sat with her at lunch suddenly couldn't answer calls or prevent her resume from being tossed in the trash.

No one wanted to be associated with the high school wash out stuck in her hometown or the woman who knew all the skeletons in their closet.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
25/03/2056 The Moreau family moves to Night City, NUSA

16/06/2064 Vaitiare graduates high school. She forgoes college due to not acquiring any scholarships and instead, begins working at Militech as an assembly technician.

15/06/2066 Vaitiare discovers that one of the machines she was operating had a safety measure removed...the hard way. An internal investigation shows no negligence on Militech's end and files the incident under "self-harm." Militech, the charitable company that they are, replaces her lost limbs with their line of VetSmartⓒ prosthetics, free of charge.

28/05/2067 Her father is diagnosed with radiation poisoning after years of working for a nuclear waste disposal company. Though Vaitiare encourages him and the rest of the affected workers to file a lawsuit, little comes about it. As it turned out, a pro bono lawyer friend is no match for a corporation.

23/06/2067 Militech decides to amp up production to prep for "something big" (so says the grapevine). Vaitiare takes on a second job to help pay off the family's mounting debt but finds that while her prosthetics could keep up, she could not. On the advice of one of her co-workers she gets Syn-Lungs implanted to bolster her energy. Then Bioplastic Blood Vessels to improve circulation and Titanium Bones to hold herself together. Sadly, ripperdocs come with their own prices and very few take health insurance.

20/02/2068 With the family's savings drained, Vaitiare's father declines further treatment, causing an argument to erupt between the family.

01/09/2068 Vaitiare's father dies and is cremated. They scatter his ashes along Del Coronado Bay. Trying to recoup some of their expenses, the family sells the house in Rancho Coronado and moves to Arroyo.

20/05/2069 Vaitiare's mother begins to forget. People, places, words...and soon what she's doing. The family doctor diagnoses her with early onset dementia. She forcibly retires from her cashier job and Vaitiare becomes her primary caretaker.

20/11/2072 Vaitiare organizes a strike against her workplace. Leading with a walkout, everyone circled the factory with picket signs and marquees demanding higher wages and more employee protections. No Gods, No Masters spread like wildfire, inspiring factories across the state to do the same. The machinery of Santo Domingo was drowned out by the chorus of workers rallying for a better life. Tear gas, rubber bullets, and actual bullets riddled the area as the NCPD was called in to quell the riots. Where the 6th Street gang would have normally been enough to contain the damage, the issue had split its members down the middle. After two weeks of nonstop fighting, the NCPD (assisted by Militech security) squashes the protest at Vaitiare's (former) workplace and arrests anyone that hasn't died. Vaitiare is released from prison a few weeks later.

25/12/2072 Vaitiare breaks bad. Being a registered felon doesn't leave you with many job prospects and even fewer if you were the face of a labor movement. Still, she pursued her remaining connections and delved into the criminal world. It didn't matter how menial or dangerous the task. She had no questions, no complaints, and no paper trail. At first she was a maid, then a chauffeur, and a repairman. Then a smuggler, a getaway driver, and muscle for hire. Transitioning to the criminal underground proved easier than she thought and raked in more money than petty tasks, but she hasn't managed to squash her conscience.

xirene

❛ 𝕃𝕖𝕘𝕒𝕔𝕪 𝕌𝕟𝕓𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕 ❜

When all the members of the roleplay selected roles, I landed on "The Trickster," a playful and mischievous Nobody who wields lightning (kind of like a more competent and less annoying Demyx). I didn't have a plan on how to write them, but was itching to create a lighthearted character. What I landed on was a fae trickster mixed with Loki--gender fuckery included. There wasn't any reason I decided on making her genderfluid but it worked out that way and she got to be enby brothers with Axiron (The Iconoclast).

In writing Xirene, I had fun playing with the usage of different pronouns (sometimes within the same paragraph!) as a vehicle to describe their state of mind and maintain the whimsy in their personality.

The roleplay was short and sweet, allowing for some cool battles and jokes on his end (one of which unintentionally foreshadowed a character's death lol). While I would LOVE a sequel & chance to expand on the relationships between the other characters, I'm satisfied with how Xirene's character arc ended and Niere's began.

  HOW CHARACTER FEELS ABOUT BEING A NOBODY
  ♛ Xirene tries not to think about their physical state too much because of the existential crises it tends to cause. They don't believe that acquiring a heart will make them whole, yet they cannot help but yearn something that will shatter the ennui they feel when alone. The notion of ego death is both scary and exciting as they have no clue what lies on the other side but it's better than being stuck in a loop of momentary pleasures.

• Backstory

  PAST SELF BACKSTORY
  ♛A refugee from a world swallowed by darkness, Xirene hardly knew their parents. Instead, they were taken in by a gruff (but kind) Gummi Ship pilot. Though allegedly a ferryman and cargo transporter, their father actually spent most working nights scavenging Gummi blocks from fallen ships and worlds. At the time, Xirene's small stature made them the perfect fit for crawling into tight spaces and their lack of shelter...the perfect excuse not to pay them a living wage. As they grew older however, they longed to actually explore other worlds rather than just swing by for parts or drop off cargo. Spending all of their time on a ship made them feel like a zoo animal rather than the travelers spoken of in fiction.
  
  On one particular stop, Xirene struck up a conversation with The Elder, who sold them tales of adventure and broadening their horizons. This, in combination with Xirene's inherent yearning for travel made it an easy choice to say goodbye to their father guardian and join Organization IX.
  CURRENT SELF BACKSTORY
  ♛Since becoming a Nobody, Xirene's life has been one defined by stability. Though every mission has a level of danger, there's never been a fear of death or long term injury. And if there was, The Sage's presence would remind them that nothing couldn't be fixed with a few magic words.
  
  At first, they revered The Elder as a parent, hanging on her every word and every mission an adventure; however, the novelty of discovering themselves soon wore off. Replaced by the duty to restore Kingdom Hearts, they found themselves lacking in purpose. Where other members had their own interests, Xirene had no hobbies. Yes, there were certainly things that appealed to them, but nothing that satiated their boredom.
  
  Because of this, they decided to create their own form of entertainment.
  
  Perhaps a holdover from their previous life, Xirene began messing with the other members of the organization. Small things like misplacing a book or salting someone's drink soon grew into larger and more elaborate schemes. Hiding someone's weapon, shorting out the lights, and even convincing others that someone else performed the prank that they did. Though it has gotten on some people's nerves, it's all in good fun and they would certainly never put their fellow members in danger.

  Attributes

  CHARACTER GOAL

  ♛Xirene has no concrete goals. While they'll cooperate with The Elder's goal, it's more out of curiosity than devotion. Xirene doesn't foresee the completion of Kingdom Hearts as the key to restoring peace to the world, but hopes that it will fill the void in their heart or at least...make something interesting happen in the world.

  ♛ Xirene zooms a single line, dealing lightning damage to everything they touch. As they move, they leave behind an electrified field approximately the width of their shoulders.

• Extras

  Note 01

  ♛Xirene's favorite victim is The Kingpin, with The Replica coming in close second. Where some people see their acts as bog standard mischief or a way of getting under people's skin, it's quite the opposite. Xirene views pranks as a way of lightening everyone's mood or at least, redirecting someone's anger towards them.
  
  
  

  Note 02

  ♛Xirene's weapon operates more as a focus than a true weapon. Though it can't harm people through physical contact, it allows them to shoot lightning without expending an ability.
  
  
  

  Note 03

  ♛Pray that you never reveal one of your fears to them or they will weaponize them.
  
  

  Note 04

  ♛Xirene's favorite trick is lightly shocking someone when showing affection (e.g. handshake, high five, hug).

zhou rui xi (周瑞禧)

❛ lacuna * ❜

The extent of my Fruits Basket knowledge was a few episodes of the original anime, so again I approached character from a thematic standpoint. My inspiration for Rui Xi came from Bestiary by K-Ming Chang. I loved the raw, sometimes gross imagery she used to convey the protagonist's experiences as well as the magical realism present. Just as the case with the book, Fruits Basket is about generational trauma. The God was lonely and made it everyone's problem lol.

Due to The Tiger role being taken, I applied for The Dragon and had her animal form be an actual dragon to lean into the fantasy aspect of Fruits Basket. Being a creature with such great power unable to physically overthrow the nexus of her pain felt more interesting than being...a seahorse. In the beginning I challenged myself to add more imagery to my writing, to write in the colorful but dramatic way that Rui Xi saw the world. Unfortunately, life sapped my brainpower lol.

I'd like to think she made amends with The God and they tackled the issues causing every Zodiac to reincarnate. And if not, maybe she massacred him and the servant cabal.

the dragon.

Zhou Rui Xi

♡coded by uxie♡

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐓.

Full Name: Zhou Rui Xi (周瑞禧)
Age: 35
Birthday: February 17, 1988
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Lesbian
Role: The Dragon
Occupation: Corporate Lawyer

Appearance:
○ Long, mulberry-colored hair typically tied in a bun
○ Round, magenta eyes
○ Slender build with lean muscles
○ Fair complexion with purple scales along her waist and shoulder (though she grows more covered by the day).
○ 5'10" (178cm)
○ Though she dislikes her curse she cannot deny how formidable her dragon form is. At fourteen feet in length and eight hundred pounds in weight, Rui Xi is one of, if not, the largest animals within the zodiac. Scales as purple as her hair line her body while aubergine horns adorn her head and equally dark fins run down her spine. White tufts of fur jut out from the back of her head and cheeks while black whiskers round our her fearsome appearance.
○ Her pheromones smell of burnt resins and frankincense with a stony base of tonka, metal, and fossilized wood. Though primarily woodsy, there's a smokiness not found in other hosts. Less like a temple and more like a den, her scent intimidates as much as it beckons those in her presence.

Personality: Rui Xi is an independent woman defined by her icy personality. She isn't one to mince words, preferring to remain concise and objective when speaking on the accomplishments and failures of others. There is nothing to be gained by speaking badly of others.

It's far more effective to watch someone hang themselves on their nooses.

She prides herself on separating the human from the beast, channeling her rage into action rather than self-pity. The days of yelling at customers and slapping office perverts have been replaced with guile and ruthlessness. She's keenly aware of her position as both a Zodiac member and isn't above leveraging it for further her goals. Cutting observations, displays of authority, and just the right amount of detachment has kept others at arms length.

But her armor isn't impenetrable. Rui Xi harbors a deep resentment towards the circumstances she was birthed into. Hoarding grudges as one would hoard gold, she keeps a mental tally of people's slights and insecurities, waiting until the zenith of her rage to unleash her typhoon.

At the eye of the storm is a woman scorned by pain, the strongest creature in the world yet powerless to stop her fate. The sunny days are few and far between. She considers herself lucky that there's anyone willing to stay and thus, remains protective of those within her ward.

Background: Ruijan blames the ocean for her daughter's curse. Having lived only an hour from the beach, her parents spent most of their summers swimming, walking the shoreline, and even surfing when the conditions were right. Even during her pregnancy, she would wade in the shallows before basking in the afternoon sun. Though she kept her diet strict and movements minimal, Rui Xi popped out two months early with scales dotting her shoulder blade.

Her mother prayed that they a vestigial feature and scrubbed the scales away, only for them to regrow whenever her daughter's emotions flared. Far from the benevolent protector that graced their foyer, her belly teemed with anger and her mouth spat flames. "We fed you too much fire to counteract the dragon, that's why you anger so easily," her mom had said as she slid a bowl of soup Rui Xi's way. It seemed that no matter how well she balanced her constitution, the curse clung to Rui Xi's body so once she turned thirteen her parents begrudgingly gave her to the compound. Within the same year she developed the ability to erase people's memories and became the cleaner for any host-related messes. Though she eventually learned to leverage her ability for money, Rui Xi wasn't proud of the bonds she erased nor the pictures that burned in the trash.

Some forgave Rui Xi, others disregarded her, and some even hated her, but she became accustomed to the chimera of trauma that ran through their household. Though her empathy was lacking, the compound taught her how to navigate the outside world and even allowed her to leave once she turned eighteen. Rui Xi strong-armed herself into the University of Tokyo before similarly, forcing herself into the business world. Contending with bureaucracy felt good, felt right. Though she was still working under someone, she had some semblance of control over her life.

An apartment, a long term long distance low commitment casual live-in girlfriend, and a bearded dragon were all within her grasp so naturally, the "God" had to rip everything away.

On Learning the Truth: Rui Xi stared at Arashi, fangs elongating before cold words left her lips.

"Enjoy the banquet for this one will be your last."

Fun Facts:
○ She loves being in the water, often meditating in a bath, pool, or other body of water
○ She is capable of erasing people's memories
○ She can play violin and cello, though only in the comfort of her own home
○ Rui Xi has impeccable luck when it comes to stocks and gambling.

nicolette barlowe

❛ 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐍 ❜

I made Nicolette as a part of a duo between me and another user: them being "The Duke" and Nicolette being "The Heir." She's one of a few characters where I didn't so much explain her concept as write a few prompts depicting her personality and background. She is also the only character here where I didn't fully complete her profile before posting. I wanted to write more, but due to the deadline I couldn't give it as much attention as it deserved.

Nevertheless I enjoyed having a perkier, more dramatic character despite the circumstances (accidentally killed her sister) she's undergone. It also helped that she got to play detective alongside a more composed, experienced woman.

Cold eyes born from the same seas as her mother. Warm, brunette tresses born from the earth her father rules.

On dry land Nicolette appears wholly human, standing above most women her age but still a head shorter than her father, Duke of Theodan. Her body seems to be in a state of perpetual emaciation, gaining neither muscle nor fat no matter what she eats or how much she exercises.

Nicolette's oceanic lineage reveals itself in the presence of seawater, wherein her skin becomes covered in golden scales and she grows rounded protrusions from her spine. Her lower half grows into that of a beast. Four taloned legs emerge from an elongated, scale-covered torso while a prehensile tail gives her the balance to fight on land and in the sea.

But she's an entertainer, not a fighter.

the poison

The tavern is lively when she walks in, her heels tracking in sand and seaweed. A pianist catches her eye while they rally the local sailors (fishermen or navy) for a shanty. They're celebrating a bountiful catch, of which, she bears no responsibility (beyond her father ruling the docks). Still, Nicolette joins them after buying another round of drinks and hopping on the bar.

She dances across the sticky surface, slapping the hands of mariners who dare to cop a feel.

There once was a lass who made sailors crash

Her voice would make the calmest men clash

The tide would rise, The ships would fall,

Because Theodan's duchess was the scariest of them all!

the restitution

Nicolette wakes up the next day after being doused by her handmaid;it's the anniversary of her brother's first death and her mother's suicide. Though guilt thrashes inside her, she commits to sobriety and instead, feeds it her grief and self-loathing.

She resists a groan, and requests and bath be drawn in her larger-than-average tub (which, really, is a recess carved into the floor). Her presence at breakfast is long overdue, but it doesn't stop her from dragging her feet out of the tub and dressing in a purple gown, not because she wants to, but because it was her brother's favorite color.

Her father's already left for more pressing matters, but that made the visitation easier. Instead of flowers, she brought his favorite sandwich. Instead of cleaning his gravestone, she poured one out. Instead of saying a prayer, she ran her hands over the epitaph carved by Theodan's best mason.

"I'm sorry. I know I say it every year, but I am. I didn't mean to switch the cups. I wanted to save you!" she whispered, taking a long sip from her bottle, "come on. Say something! Say anything! Strike me down if you must!"

Ostensibly, neither the grave nor the ghost of her brother had anything to say, but it didn't stop her from spending the next three hours finishing her brandy.

"If you had been there, you would have done the same."

the crown

Nicolette listens to the ocean, its droplets revealing golden scales every time it crashes against the shore. It begs for her mother. It demands to know why she did what she did. It tells her she isn't fit to rule.

Pah! Why did that even matter? Her father controls the docks now and should he ever remarry, it would go to his next partner. After that, it would be her and whoever she married (and Nicolette certainly wasn't going to marry her cousin).

Lazily, her fingers trace the edge of tidepool and become talons; any further and she'll turn into a beast understood only by her mother. "Is that what you want, Father?" she asks.

When the sky responds with a stiff breeze she plunges her head into the water and emerges with a wreath of coral and seaweed.

ann akimiya

❛ UTOPIA! ★ ❜

Of the characters showcased so far, Ann has been used the most but also undergone the most changes. I originally created her for a Camp Halfblood style roleplay where she was the daughter of Hermes. I took the first name "Ann" from Ann Takamaki of Persona 5 as a nod towards her klepto tendencies and dreams of being a Robin Hood type character. As with all descendants of that god, she had superspeed, sticky fingers, and a penchant for shiny things. Unfortunately, the roleplay seemed to collapse under the number of characters everyone wielded and we didn't make it past the first scene.

I took a break from thread roleplay (for unrelated reasons) and tried two different Jcink roleplays thinking that they'd be more organized.

The first was a post-human world where only certain supernatural species lived. Since I wanted to retain her love of shiny things and technology and nobody else played as one, I chose the Kraken species. Her backstory was Little Mermaid mixed with Chicago which turned out less fun in practice. The GMs didn't quite understand my vision for her, but I did start a trend of other people creating Kraken characters with similar backstories (one of which, was definitely better executed than mine!). And not that this was a combat roleplay, but it baffled me that Kraken had a lower strength and durability rating than werewolves or vampires.

The second Jcink roleplay was set in a small town surrounded by fog because it housed...supernatural creatures. Specifically, the ad was asking for new players to fill the slot of family members that each had one of the deadly sins as their theme. I went with gluttony (as reflected by an insatiable appetite for novelty...and other things), but had a difficult time deciding what species to go for since they had a far more extensive list than the previous roleplay. Their interpretation of the Basilisk interested me because many cultures had their own version of a deadly snake. Here Basilisks had both a human and snake form, the latter of which provided the power of a paralytic gaze. Because of how deadly this power was, Basilisks were given the choice of eye surgery (which would leave them nearly blind) or be banned from turning into a snake.

With Ann being half-Japanese and half-Korean (the Korean father being the one who connected everyone), I thought it would be interesting to explore the pain of choosing between severing the last connection she had with her mother and voluntarily mutilating herself. I was encouraged to pick a more beginner-friendly species for my first character but as we saw with the Kraken, I've never shied away from trendsetting (seriously, after the staff accepted Ann, suddenly two more Basilisk characters appeared).

There was certainly room to explore the hypocrisy of how Basilisks were treated compared to other predatory races (i.e. succubi, vampires, zombies), but my original vision was incompatible with the cozy, low stakes nature of the roleplay. I rewrote her character arc to be about seeking contentment through her new family, friends, and perhaps an alternate way of connecting to her roots. After a month or two more of writing, I realized that I no longer connected with this version of Ann I created so I left.

In roleplaying on Jcink I also realized I didn't like the format of constant 1x1s with different people and the status quo always looming over so I left the website entirely.

The iteration you see here is her final one wherein, she's a streamer-turned-superhero. Drawing upon inspirations such as Jolyne Kujo, Spider-Man, and Best Jeanist I created a character with the ability to manipulate strings of any sort (eventually expanding into the fabric of reality because why the hell not). I fully leaned into her Internet-poisoned persona and painted her through status updates, personal tidbits, and the general look of the CS. I had quite a few things planned for her (including leaving the faction she was in), but it was not meant to be.

Above all else, Ann is a woman who wants to live fast, get famous, and secure a big haul along the way.

I'm greedy. I want all the smoke.

This scrolls V

Flashy, expensive, and phone-addicted, she fits the social media influencer stereotype. When she isn't out playing villain, she stays in touch with current trends and discovers new interests, throwing her time towards whatever hobby she's picked up this month. She doesn't hesitate to buy whatever piques her interest and rarely regrets her purchases.

Ann is the person to go to if they're looking for collectibles, limited edition goods, or even less frivolous objects like computer parts or furniture. She's amassed a large collection and if anyone wonders where she bought them she'll smirk and say "don't worry about it." Money is no object and if someone needs something that she doesn't then why keep it? Plus she could always steal buy more. As much as she frames herself as catty and materialistic, she takes joy in giving gifts and helping others.

Bright lipstick and bleach blonde hair distinguish her from the crowd while a litany of chains drape across her eclectic outfits. She revels in the attention and has, more than once, handicapped herself when playing cat and mouse with a new hero. There's a certain high that can't be replicated with using your mutant abilities to weasel out of situations so she waits until a situation is truly dire to fight back. She likes being that "ace," the wild card, that dark horse that manages to gain the adoration of the crowd in spite of adversity. If somebody doesn't see that in her then she may damn well look like a fool trying to convince them otherwise.

Those who do give her the time of day will find a slick, if not somewhat sassy girl. Ann will talk about anything from the weather to someone's origin story to her deluge of recent purchases. Whether it's because of her lofty dreams or lack of attention span, she'll dart from one subject to another, barraging her audience with questions and random bits of trivia until she can find a point of connection (good or bad). Whether that means giving gifts, roping them into a risky scheme, or goading them into a bet, she knows how to garner a reaction. More than anything, wants to create an experience for those she bonds with, be they a friend or foe. She welcomes adventure in all forms and as long they can keep up, they'll be thick as thieves.

reputation

Love her, hate her, either way she'll make sure you know her. Anyone remotely online knows of String Theory, aka Ann Akimiya, aka Silk. She has no secret identity as she believes that tying her two identities together will form a stronger parasocial relationship. Unfortunately who aren't enamored or amused by her antics tend to find her vapid, annoying, and attention hungry.

Utility

She can control any fiber she touches. During this process, these threads can stretch any length, though its strength will weaken based on the length and width of the thread. This includes those in her body, which she can manipulate to snare objects, maneuver, and mend. Her body's "thread" is akin to braided steel though non-metallic, more flexible, and retractable. Cutting her body's thread will wound her and depending on how much is cut off, cause amputation at the source of the thread.

No, I can't. I promised I would do a photoshoot with TSS.

He is her manager and the one who initially housed her after she was kicked out of her parents' home. Though not directly involved in Team Demise's affairs, he does handle her finances and all the "boring stuff" she never learned how to do. He has the ability of temporary duplication.

Her best friend for life. Despite parting ways when she dropped out of school, the two maintained contact. True to her name, Yuan Yue is unaffiliated and works alone. Money and information are her only motivators. It is unknown whether or not she has mutant abilities.

Getting real close to the sun there, buddy.

Publicly, known as @TheRealIcarus, he is another member in Team Demise's roster. Due to Silk's popularity and Icarus' fading popularity, Team Demise decided that to shake things up with a messy, villainous tryst. They broke up after approximately a month and though they have an outward reputation of being bitter exes and rivals, they're actually on good terms. As his alias suggests, he can sprout wings, fly, and weaponize his feathers.

Lucian Corwin

justlucian

I mean I'll never turn down a free meal from you

They met when they were teenagers, both rich kids sneaking into the outskirts. He was one of the first people to reach out after she was cut off from her parents. Whether by coincidence or design, they've become two sides of the same coin. Their approaches to food, fashion, and even literature vastly differ, yet they appreciate it all the same. Though they're part of different guilds it hasn't stopped them from riding the line between best friends and budding romance. She's aware of their diverging goals and the desire to keep things platonic but can't help but reach out (even knowing his powers will leave know trace of her dalliance).

Leiko Kay

@

leidybird

All I asked was for you to stay. We didn't have to make it deep.

She was Ann's first love. It started off as a fling spurned by Ann wanting something smuggled out of Japan. but turned into nights of drinking on rooftops, small scale missions, and spinning chaos in Sentinel Proper. Little gifts like boba and lemon candies turned into a burgeoning romance. But Ann is ambitious, she wants to take their romance outside the bounds of the city and plan a vacation somewhere--perhaps outside the bounds of their hookup. If The Magpie flies away however, she'll be taking her heart with her.

Marianne Pasternak

What happened last night? Did someone throw up again?

Clubbing buddies, daredevils, and influencers, they could almost be peas in a pod. Though Ann does not partake, they've been known to attend illegal street races and drink.

Antonia Romera

@

techqueen

Come on, we should totally have a girl's night!

Despite being from different guilds, Antonia and Ann struck up a friendship during a car meet/street racing event. At the time Toni had been as much of a partier as Ann and Lysander, though definitely more reasonable. Ann made it her mission to repair the relationship between Toni and her sense of style. Dressing for yourself rather than the public (or some perverts) was an idea she held strongly in her heart. Not to mention that Ann could be a makeshift bungie cord for Toni whenever she wanted to scratch that daredevil itch. After her family was murdered, she toned down her partying quite a bit and while Ann did her best to console her, she lacked the tools to alleviate her grief. Since the day Ann started her affair with Lysander, she's slightly distanced herself from Toni--guilt awash every time that they do hang out.

Lysander Favager

@

LysOnTop

She told me she's working late tonight so we should be good.

They met through Toni around the time that she joined Team Demise. Despite being a member of Team Majestic, they hit off due to their mutual interest in luxury items and partying. Secret omakase, drug trips, and late night adventures caused them to grow closer. As much as she hated to admit it, she began crushing on Lys hard and no amount of Lucian seemed to stave it off. Between Antonia receding back into her shell and the two continuing to go on not-dates together the affair just sort of...happened. She tells herself that she's betraying Toni and that she'll break things off once Lys and Toni get married but for now, she'll enjoy a love that belongs to them and them alone.

Lucky Charms as a nickname is CRAZY.

Though they have similar personalities, the two don't have much in common so they don't interact outside of work...and bullying Casper.

Edmund Deluca

@

edmundds

Oh so you cheated?

Ann's friendship with Edmund allows her to enjoy three underrrated past times: annoying Miri, gambling, and cheating. They get along fairly well, due in part to his constant teasing over her wanting attention and her snarky responses. Their favorite activity is gambling, but after discovering his ability to manipulate probability, she decided to retaliate in her own way: cheating. It's a game of Spy vs. Spy whenever they face off, it's a contest between whose the better manipulator.

Miranda (Miri) Alighieri

@

WhirlyGorlMiri

Mmmmm no .

People who call Ann a diva have not met Miranda Miri. Though she tries to be professional to Team Demise's captain, it's difficult to be respectful when she gets posessive over a friend of all things. The jealousy has only driven Ann to hang out with Edmund more because at her heart, Ann is a spiteful bitch.

Casper Samson

@

usernamehere

Listen, it's not my fault the SOTO boy couldn't fight for shit.

She's a bully and he's simultaneously her biggest ally and a victim (of both her and AJ). As equally brash--sometimes obnoxious souls, they banter endlessly during meetings. It's a show of respect and well as camraderie because frankly, she wouldn't settle for any other PR rep.

Rosaline Hawthorne

@

primadonna

Come on, I think I know where his car is.

They're good friends and co-workers with an oddly similar taste in partners. Ann often acts as a buffer for Rosa's more extreme mood swings and takes advantage of their PTO to go out and get ice cream, smash some cars, and whatever else. She appreciates the confidence boost that Rosa gives in battle, though there are some unfortunate times where that Ann retains residual feelings after leaving the workplace.

Nikodem Wrona

@

thebonewitch

I swear at this point you've memorized Viktor's credit card number.

She would murder for him or at least, snag away the last pair of vintage Louboutins. They met at the shopping mall when Ann was fighting someone for the last of a limited run shirt. As she was about to fight Niko intervened, saving her from an assault charge and the other person a black eye. From then on, their love of fashion, sass, and gossip has kept them together. It also helps that they're damn near the same size in everything.

cassandra cummings

@

c.cummings

Don't make trouble for me and I won't make trouble for you!

After accidentally injuring a civilian, Silk was taken in by Cassandra for suspicion of being part of a bigger operation. As much as she swore that the whole incident was a misunderstanding, Cassandra was unrelenting in her convictions, going so far as to deprive Ann of her senses. But all was not lost for our not-hero. With some quick thinking, she finalged her way out of Seeker's grasp. All that's left is holding on to that trump card should she come back for round two.

You're the copy, I'm the blueprint, bestie

Where to begin? They met in TEC when they were young and ended on bad terms when she left and he decided to retaliate by riddling her hair with chewed gum. It wasn't until they were both in Team Demise that they saw each other again. While she's glad he's alive, a rivalry has brewed between them due to occupying similar niches. Still, for all of their shit talking, she'd be damned if someone tried seriously going after him.

@

roo_ster

You killed it on Main Street! I don't know how the hell you weren't caught though.

They're both street artists in their own right, one preferring to shitpost and the other making works of art. Sometimes they collaborate and other times, they're content to work side-by-side, but in either case she finds respite in someone knowing her only by her acts rather than her persona. He's also fun to smoke weed with.

8PM, The Glitz n' Glam. Tell them you're with Silk.

He caught her in 4k trying to do a Spider-Man upside down kiss before promptly eating pavement. While it wasn't entirely his fault that the photos were released she teases him about it being the reason why she didn't make it to Team Majestic. As much as she teases him however, she sees him as a close friend and God help anyone who tries hurting him--she's his bully and nobody else! On the odd occasion that Team Demise has an after party, he's usually the first person she extends an invite to. He has to get her good side after al

I solemnly swear I'll keep making ya proud.

Rex is one of Ann's friends and the one who secured her an audition. Having met in the Outskirts while they were younger, Ann wormed her way into her heart and reconnected after getting kicked out of her home.

Ignacious Ectorius

I think 99/100 is a pretty good score for someone without music powers~

She first met Ignacious after attending one of his concerts. Though not a long time fan, she always appreciated music. After some back and forth the two have become karaoke buddies, both drunk and sober.

Stop texting me when you're half asleep, I'm not smart enough for your cyphers.

Neve is a quintessential part of Team Demise's troublesome trio. Not only does she act as the buffer and audience member of Karl and Ann's disputes, but also adds her own mischief to the party. And just as is the case with Karl, don't hurt her unless you want to be strung and quartered.

How did you manage to beat me in anarchy chess?

They met during geocaching when she snuck into a location that he couldn't reach. After exchanging numbers they became geocaching buddies and board game buddies. Where he knew chess, she studied Go and after teaching him the tricks...he's totally kicking her ass. She still wins once in a while though, so she's BASICALLY better right?

Kaycee Park

We can't end on a LOSS!

Discounting her long time frenemy, Kaycee is the person who she plays video games the most. Ann initially met him online, only knowing him by his username until finding out that he also lived in Sentinel City. The two met up and luckily, their friendship translated just as well in real life as it did online.

❛ 𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 ❜

Oh Johnny, my sweet boy. The man whose faceclaim was almost Jerma until I got serious. While I had a concept in mind, I had no idea how to approach Johnny's CS. I didn't want to reveal everything about his time in prison, what he learned from the leaked files, and his general mindset. I decided to model his application after a resume with the contact info on one side and the "experience" on the other. I even made him a Pinterest board (though it never came in handy)!

I based his backstory off of Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and trope of the ethical hacker. What I failed to account for was the fact that he went to prison for ten years and this roleplay takes place in the 2000s so there's no real reason why he'd be a proficient hacker other than...for the plot.

His last name is a direct reference to the creator of The Navidson Record (aka one of the main characters in House of Leaves), Will Navidson, while "Johnny" is a reference to the pseudonym of the editor "Johnny Truant." I hoped to see my character spiral in the same way as the characters he was named after, but for now he waits at the diner for his crew.

Christian Bale

Johnny Navidson is an investigative journalist best known for his report on the Prometheus Corporation. Titled, "The Eden Files," he leaked thousands of documents regarding Project Eden, a surveillance program meant to bypass all known encryption services and effectively, remove privacy for any targeted user.

Though he was confident in his work, his editor refused to publish the expose until he removed information linking Project Eden to the NSA. Not one to be deterred, Navidson kept reaching out to different publications, only to find that nobody was willing to risk their credibility for an alleged link to the government.

With no traditional options, Johnny turned to the Internet and released everything on his personal blog as well a few less-than-savory forums.

His story took off like wildfire, earning him national attention. The organizations that previously rejected him suddenly lauded him for his journalistic integrity and the Prometheus Corporation was issuing apologies to their customers. The White House denied the link between Project Eden and the NSA before arresting Navidson on espionage charges. He served ten of his twenty years in prison, but found himself blacklisted from every publication and his website shut down for suspicious activity.

With no other job prospects Johnny has decided to recreate his old success by taking on the Vargas Corporation.
