vampire who complains constantly about how difficult it is to access laudanum in the "so-called modern era." from their many, many complaints, it's clear they've gone to considerable difficulty over the past century maintaining a steady personal laudanum supply. their werewolf roomie is on the verge of holding an intervention. it is then casually revealed that laudanum has no intoxicating effect on bloodsuckers. the vampire just use it as a "spicy blood sauce"; it adds a nice kick

Writing Guide: Character Profile

Many writers develop a character profile through brainstorming. There are a lot of ways to brainstorm.

Make a list of your character's traits and characteristics.

Journal as your character.

Create a playlist that your character would like.

Interview your character.

Role-play by putting yourself in your character's shoes in different circumstances.

Create a collage.

Consider the following questions.

What are their strengths and weaknesses?

What happened to your character prior to the beginning of the book to make them the way that they are?

What is your character's main motivation? What do they want from life?

What do they need from life? Are they aware of it or are they searching for something else?

What are their insecurities and fears?

How do they speak around others?

How are they different when they are alone?

How do they grow throughout the novel?

Do they have any unique quirks, habits, accents, sayings, or mannerisms?

What is their moral code? Values? Do these change as they evolve?

Winter Greenery OC Questions.

A little list of OC questions based on the folklore of winter greenery in Northern Europe. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all symbolic meanings, but rather just a small selection for entertainment, rather than educational, purposes.

Fir: Endurance and Hope.

Is your OC generally optimistic about the future?  Or do they tend to prepare for the worst, whilst hoping for the best? Or do they even take a generally pessimistic view of the way things will likely unfold?

Does your OC actively attempt to nurture or inspire hope in others – even when things look particularly dire? Or are they inclined to be more blunt with their assessment of a situation?

Would your OC ever fight for a lost cause on principle?  Or would they give up – or even change allegiance – in order to ensure the best outcome for themselves?

What is an example of something (or someone) to which your OC has been stubbornly loyal, through thick and thin?  Was it worth it in the end?  Could it ever have been?

How many setbacks can (or will) your OC endure before they give up on a course of action?  Or alternatively, how many times can they be let down or betrayed before they turn their back upon another person?

Holly: Protection and Luck.

Is your OC protective of those to whom they are close?  Are they ever somewhat over-protective?  Or do they prefer to let people suffer the consequences of their mistakes?  Perhaps because they see this as a useful life lesson?

Does your OC carry a lucky charm of some sort?  What makes them think it’s lucky?  Or do they not believe in luck, yet find themselves unable to part with it all the same?

Has your OC ever taken on a burden or suffered harm to protect another from suffering its consequences?  Did the person in question realise that they had done so?  What was their motivation when doing this?

What does your OC believe to be the luckiest event in their life?  Is this an accurate assessment?  Or was there actually more than simply luck at play?

Does your OC believe that they were historically let down by those who should have protected them?  If so then what has been the impact of this upon them?  If not then have they always been kept safe by others?  Has anyone ever sacrificed themselves to protect them?

Ivy: Fidelity and Loyalty.

Has your OC ever been unfaithful in a relationship?  Could they ever be tempted by the physical charms of another?  Or have they ever been surprised by how little they are tempted by others, at least once they embraced their current lover?

What inspires loyalty in your OC?  Will they follow someone purely based upon duty or rank? Or are there certain qualities towards which they are drawn?  Or perhaps there ways by which another person must prove themselves before earning their loyalty?

Has another person ever offered to leave their spouse or lover for your OC?  What was it about them that this person found so hard to resist? How did they feel about it at the time? 

Does your OC feel any abiding connection to their place of birth?  Has this ever been challenged by conflicting loyalties?  How are they viewed by those currently living in their society of origin?

Does your OC remain steadfastly loyal to those who have helped them on their journey?  Or are they quick to dispense with those who are no longer of use to them?

Mistletoe: Peace and Friendship.

Who was your OC’s first friend?  What drew them to each other?  Were they expecting to get along? Or was it a surprise to them both?

Does your OC find it easy to make friends?   What barriers are there to them doing so?  Has this changed over time?

Do other people experience your OC as having a “peaceful” energy? Or are they inclined to restlessness - or even fractiousness?  Do others find them relaxing company?

To what extent does your OC believe in the perfectibility of mankind?  Do they believe that they are playing a part, no matter how small, in ushering in a new utopian age of co-operation and peace?  Or do they consider that people are intrinsically flawed and that the best that can be hoped for is a series of trade-offs between conflicting values?

Who is your OCs most unlikely friend? What made their friendship so unexpected?

Pine: Healing and Longevity.

What is the worst physical injury or illness that your OC has ever suffered?  How long did it take them to recover?  Does it still have an impact upon them now?

What is the worst emotional or spiritual wound that your OC has ever suffered?  What was the long-term impact of this experience? What helped them to move on from it (if they ever have)?

Does your OC make a good patient?  Or are they resistant to being given medical treatment - or even agreeing to rest?

Does your OC expect to live a long and fruitful life?  Or do they consider themselves to already be living on borrowed time?

Does your OC believe it is better to burn out than to fade away?  Or do they perhaps pretend to believe this, when actually they would be quite happy to retire peacefully one day?

Birch: Rebirth and Regeneration.

Has your OC ever experienced something that changed them irrevocably?  If so, then how do they view the person they were before?

Does your OC believe that sometimes a person needs to hit rock bottom before they can begin to rebuild their life?  Has this ever been their personal experience?  Or would they rather spare someone suffering, even if it meant they failed to learn from their mistakes over and over again?

Does your OC recover quickly from injuries?  Or has it got harder for them to keep bouncing back as they’ve got older?  If so, is this something they would ever admit?

Has your OC ever made a heroic or unexpected comeback from a dire situation?  What helped them to do so?

Has your OC ever been part of a wider cultural or spiritual renaissance?  Perhaps following the defeat of an occupying force?  Or the rediscovery of long-lost wisdom?  Or even a reinterpretation of existing traditions?

tw // mention of an overdose, death

ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 ♱.ᐟ KVRMA, pronounced as KARMA, is a six-member fictional boy group. They debuted on October 19th, 2019 under CHOSEN ONES ENTERTAINMENT with an original lineup that consisted of seven members. Coming from a middle tier company that had nearly gone under due to scandal years prior, watchers of the company didn't expect much from KVRMA when they were first announced. Momentum shifted in the group's favor though when the lineup was revealed to the public.

Having a lineup with a very popular child actor and two idols from previous groups, KVRMA instantly drew in a lot of fans when debut teaser were dropped. With a concept that revolves round each member representing one of the seven deadly sins, the hype for their debut was high. Their debut song CRUELTY was met with much fanfare, both positive and negative, and shot them into the high standings of the industry as fresh rookies.

After being in the industry for three years, KVRMA was hit with a tragedy when member LJ passed away from an overdose two days before his 23rd birthday in 2021. Having been actively promoting during this time, the group made an abrupt exit from the industry and was on indefinite hiatus for roughly a year and a half. Throughout this time period, no official word was given from Chosen Ones about if or when the group would be returning but most members began working on solo endeavors. Twenty months after LJ's death, KVRMA returned to the scene in 2023 to a very warm welcome from both past and new fans.

Over the years, KVRMA has gained world-wide recognition for their lore, concept, and distinctive style of music. Being a primarily self-produced group music wise, fans never fail at praising the group for making waves in the industry constantly.

✨ Sector V Height Chart + Growth Patterns (AU Version) ✨

I've been doing a lot of research and careful consideration when figuring out the official heights for Sector V in my AU. Using their proportions from the show as a reference, I wanted to keep their height dynamics true to the original while adding a bit more realism for their late teen versions! Here's what I've gathered,My frame of reference:

Incase can't read the Height Order is

Hoagie > Abby > Nigel > Kuki > Wally

And based on that i estimated it to be:

Hoagie: ~ 4'11 '

Abby: ~ 4' 10 '

Nigel: ~ 4'9 ' ( he's slightly taller then kuki but shorter then Abby so this works ig)

Kuki: ~4'8' (slightly taller then wally)

Wally: ~ 4'6 '

📊 Growth Patterns Breakdown:

I also tracked their height progression from ages 10-18 for extra depth! From the oeder and the background some see these are my personal headcanons such as Hoagie have a Italian lineage from Grandma side of the family.

So with that here's the official heights/ growth progressions for sector V in my au:

Nigel’s Height Progression

His height progression is based on the typical growth pattern of British boys during puberty. I aimed for a steady, moderate increase in height that plateaus around adulthood.

10 years old: 4'9" (144.8 cm)

11 years old: 4'11" (149.9 cm)

12 years old: 5'0" (152.4 cm)

13 years old: 5'2" (157.5 cm)

14 years old: 5'3" (160 cm)

15 years old: 5'4" (162.6 cm)

16 years old: 5'4½" (164.5 cm)

17 years old: 5'5" (165.1 cm)

18 years old: 5'5" (165.1 cm)

Growth Pattern

Age 10 to 11: Grew 2 inches (from 4'9" to 4'11").

Age 11 to 12: Grew 1 inch (from 4'11" to 5'0").

Age 12 to 13: Grew 2 inches (from 5'0" to 5'2").

Age 13 to 14: Grew 1 inch (from 5'2" to 5'3") – puberty growth begins.

Age 14 to 15: Grew 1 inch (from 5'3" to 5'4") – steady growth continues.

Age 15 to 16: Grew ½ inch (from 5'4" to 5'4½") – slowing down.

Age 16 to 17: Grew ½ inch (from 5'4½" to 5'5") – nearing adult height.

Age 17 to 18: No growth (remained at 5'5") – height stabilizes.

Hoagie’s Height Progression

His growth pattern is a mix between American and Italian influences, given his Italian heritage from his grandmother's side (which I personally prefer over him being fully Italian). His height is above average but not extreme, with a gradual and consistent increase.

10 years old: 4'11" (149.9 cm)

11 years old: 5'1" (154.9 cm)

12 years old: 5'2½" (158.8 cm)

13 years old: 5'4" (162.6 cm)

14 years old: 5'5" (165.1 cm)

15 years old: 5'6" (167.6 cm)

16 years old: 5'6½" (168.9 cm)

17 years old: 5'7" (170.2 cm)

18 years old: 5'7" (170.2 cm)

Growth Pattern

Age 10 to 11: Grew 2 inches (from 4'11" to 5'1").

Age 11 to 12: Grew 1½ inches (from 5'1" to 5'2½").

Age 12 to 13: Grew 1½ inches (from 5'2½" to 5'4").

Age 13 to 14: Grew 1 inch (from 5'4" to 5'5") – steady puberty growth.

Age 14 to 15: Grew 1 inch (from 5'5" to 5'6") – nearing final growth.

Age 15 to 16: Grew ½ inch (from 5'6" to 5'6½") – slowing growth.

Age 16 to 17: Grew ½ inch (from 5'6½" to 5'7") – final growth phase.

Age 17 to 18: No growth (remained at 5'7") – height stabilizes.

Kuki’s Height Progression

Kuki’s height progression is based on the typical growth pattern of a Japanese girl, leading to a petite but proportional stature compared to the others.

10 years old: 4'7½" (141 cm)

11 years old: 4'9½" (146 cm)

12 years old: 4'11" (149.9 cm)

13 years old: 5'0" (152.4 cm)

14 years old: 5'1" (154.9 cm)

15 years old: 5'2" (157.5 cm)

16 years old: 5'2½" (158.8 cm)

17 years old: 5'3" (160 cm)

18 years old: 5'3" (160 cm)

Growth Pattern

Age 10 to 11: Grew 2 inches (from 4'7½" to 4'9½").

Age 11 to 12: Grew 1½ inches (from 4'9½" to 4'11").

Age 12 to 13: Grew 1 inch (from 4'11" to 5'0").

Age 13 to 14: Grew 1 inch (from 5'0" to 5'1") – puberty growth continues.

Age 14 to 15: Grew 1 inch (from 5'1" to 5'2") – steady growth.

Age 15 to 16: Grew ½ inch (from 5'2" to 5'2½") – nearing adult height.

Age 16 to 17: Grew ½ inch (from 5'2½" to 5'3") – final growth phase.

Age 17 to 18: No growth (remained at 5'3") – height stabilizes.

Wally’s Height Progression

His growth pattern is purely based on the typical Australian boy's growth, which tends to be on the shorter spectrum. His height remains the shortest in the group while still reflecting realistic growth stages.

10 years old: 4'6" (137.2 cm)

11 years old: 4'7½" (140 cm)

12 years old: 4'9" (144.8 cm)

13 years old: 4'10½" (148.6 cm)

14 years old: 5'0" (152.4 cm)

15 years old: 5'1" (154.9 cm)

16 years old: 5'2" (157.5 cm)

17 years old: 5'2¼" (158.1 cm)

18 years old: 5'2½" (159 cm)

Growth Pattern

Age 10 to 11: Grew 1½ inches (from 4'6" to 4'7½").

Age 11 to 12: Grew 1½ inches (from 4'7½" to 4'9").

Age 12 to 13: Grew 1½ inches (from 4'9" to 4'10½").

Age 13 to 14: Grew 1½ inches (from 4'10½" to 5'0") – puberty growth begins.

Age 14 to 15: Grew 1 inch (from 5'0" to 5'1") – steady growth continues.

Age 15 to 16: Grew 1 inch (from 5'1" to 5'2") – nearing adult height.

Age 16 to 17: Grew ¼ inch (from 5'2" to 5'2¼") – final stages of growth.

Age 17 to 18:Grew ¼ inch (from 5'2¼" to 5'2½") – height stabilizes.

Abby’s Height Progression

Her growth pattern blends both American and French influences, as she has a mixed lineage. I referenced both regions for a balanced height trajectory, keeping her on the taller side for female characters.

10 years old: 4'10½" (148.6 cm)

11 years old: 5'0½" (153.7 cm)

12 years old: 5'2" (157.5 cm)

13 years old: 5'3" (160 cm)

14 years old: 5'4" (162.6 cm)

15 years old: 5'5" (165.1 cm)

16 years old: 5'5 ½" (166.4 cm)

17 years old: 5'6" (167.6 cm)

18 years old: 5'6" (167.6 cm)

Growth Pattern

Age 10 to 11: Grew 2 inches (from 4'10½" to 5'0½").

Age 11 to 12: Grew 1½ inches (from 5'0½" to 5'2").

Age 12 to 13: Grew 1 inch (from 5'2" to 5'3").

Age 13 to 14: Grew 1 inch (from 5'3" to 5'4") – puberty growth continues steadily.

Age 14 to 15: Grew 1 inch (from 5'4" to 5'5") – nearing final growth phase.

Age 15 to 16: Grew ½ inch (from 5'5" to 5'5½") – growth slowing.

Age 16 to 17: Grew ½ inch (from 5'5½" to 5'6") – final growth.

Age 17 to 18: No growth (remained at 5'6") – height stabilizes.

I based this on both visual references and realistic height patterns for their ages. Of course, this is just my AU interpretation and subject to further tweaks if needed! Let me know what you think

actually i get very emotional when i think about the giant ants arc because when arcos is told that there's an entire colony of monsters that could easily destroy the estate the very first thing he asks is where lloyd is. and when he's told that he's still down in the mine he doesn't hesitate for even one second to grab his armor and go down there himself just to get to lloyd. like. those things are huge and they're vicious and there's hundreds of them and to face them is *checks notes* "to guarantee your own death". arcos hasn't even touched his sword for a decade. he's not winning that battle. but it doesn't fucking matter at all because his son is down there and arcos is going to get to him even if it kills him.

he just. he fucking loves his kid so much. and this is not even like that far ahead into the novel. lloyd is barely beginning to clean up his body's act. this is chapter 25 it's like 6% of the whole plot. and this man was already completely and unhesitatingly willing to die for his son. how am i supposed to not cry about that.

Prior to her appearance on IGNITE!, VIOLET debuted twice. Her first group lasted nine months. Her second group lasted three—in hindsight, that one might have been a scam. Lightspeed will last eleven. It seems to be a pattern with her. She was first interested in becoming an idol at the age of thirteen. Highly inspired by second generation girl groups like SNSD and T-ara, she began to learn how to sing and dance. At seventeen, Violet moved to South Korea to pursue her dream, against her parents’ wishes. She has not spoken to them in eight years.

IGNITE! was truly her last chance. After nearly a decade of trying and failing to be an idol, she was almost ready to call it quits. That was when Violet learned of the show from her older sister. After breezing through the audition and early stages of the show, her professionalism and obvious desperation helped her secure second place, and a spot in Lightspeed.

KNOWN FOR: Saying “I don’t know any boy groups except BTS and EXO” (as a joke?). Being the only person to give a thank you speech in Korean. Hitting an extremely high whistle note while watching a video of her first group’s debut stage.

ASH was born Jang Dohyun in Seoul, South Korea, before moving to the US to live with the rest of his extended family when he was less than a year old. He picked the name Ash for himself when he started going to school and none of his teachers could pronounce his name. As a teenager, the rise of the Hallyu wave in the West led to his interest in kpop and kdramas, and became his way of reconnecting with the country he was born in. As a college student, he took this one step further with his participation in UCLA’s kpop cover dance team, where he met Tyler.

While on IGNITE!, his rank rose steadily throughout the second half of the show. Although a good enough performer, he was seen more as comic relief and a moodmaker than a serious contender for the winning group. He was also popular for his constant promotion of his family’s Koreatown bakery instead of himself. In the finale, his rank skyrocketed from seventh to second, surprising Ash most of all. He is Lightspeed’s leader in name and not much else.

KNOWN FOR: Promoting his family’s bakery more than himself. Re-editing his profile pictures and posting them to his Instagram after the show. Writing “fre sha vaca do” as his catchphrase.

TYLER was the only survivor of the major car accident that killed his parents and older brother. At the age of two, he spent a few months as a ward of the state of Illinois before being adopted by an older childless white couple. He spent most of his life on the family farm, before jumping ship to Los Angeles for college, where he met Ash on the UCLA kpop cover dance team.

In his first semester of grad school—because what else is he doing with his bachelor’s degree in psychobiology?—he auditioned for IGNITE!, seeing it as another opportunity to avoid returning to the farm. In hindsight, it was an extremely good decision, even if all of his embarrassing stan Twitter tweets were dragged into the limelight. As a competitor, Tyler was popular for his confidence and the dance skills to back up whatever grandstanding statements he decided to make.

KNOWN FOR: Freestyling his entire initial audition. Somehow continuing to tweet while filming IGNITE! Dapping up Ash every episode.

Born to second generation Korean Americans, CONSTANCE is Lightspeed’s most prominent vocalist. She was musically inclined from an early age, able to pick up and mimic melodies by ear. By the time she was fourteen, she was proficient in multiple instruments, having spent all of her afternoons at local music shops and figuring them out for herself. Her prodigal music run came to an end when she auditioned for Julliard and didn’t get in. She settled for pursuing her secondary interest of mechanical engineering instead.

Being a kpop idol was never a possibility to her. Her grandparents left Korea in the aftermath of the Korean War—why would she go back? Yet when IGNITE! announced auditions in New York City, Constance decided she could give it a try. She was indisputably one of the best singers on the show, moving the judges to tears in her final performance. She placed third at the show’s conclusion.

KNOWN FOR: Bringing an entire suitcase of snacks. Smiling like The Almighty Loaf. Pointing out the film crew’s OSHA violations.

MIA’S career started at the young age of six with a small background role in a children’s TV show. Pushed to perform by her mother (still reeling from her failure to be a famous actress), she took dance lessons—ballet, tap, jazz—and acting lessons and modeling lessons. As a child and a teenager, she had two big breaks: a starring role in a spinoff of a popular kids’ show, and a brief stint as a kpop trainee under JYP Entertainment. Her six months there were the greatest time of her life, so when her mother suggested she should audition for IGNITE!, she jumped at the chance.

Her previous experience was evident from the moment she stepped on stage. She never ranked below third, was center for most of her performances, and seemed to be an endless source of memorable and iconic performance clips. It came as no surprise that she placed first among the female contestants in IGNITE!’s finale.

KNOWN FOR: Carrying her team in almost every performance. Struggling to make a heart in the theme song. Reenacting an orange juice commercial she did when she was seven.

EV, born Everett Lam Chun-sheng in Hong Kong, China, is the youngest member of Lightspeed. His parents divorced when he was six years old, leading to his subsequent move to Leeds, England with his mother and the changing and reordering of his names. His interest in music was fostered by his stepfather, a symphony musician, as a way for the two of them to connect. It worked—he took music as his fourth A-level, alongside maths, history, and English literature.

While attending university, he was met with the opportunity to participate in IGNITE! As a competitor, Ev was known mostly for his quiet disposition and peacemaking abilities. He acknowledged his lack of skill in the beginning, and improved greatly throughout the show’s run. He placed third.

KNOWN FOR: Recreating Hyungwon’s Starbucks meme with a Redbull during a practice session. Reciting Jacques’s “All the world’s a stage” monologue from As You Like It in his audition. Doing the exact same stiff ending fairy pose after every performance.
