a member who helps deal with black BPD splits. nonhuman. tysm!

emojis: 🌑🖤🔪👁📓🖊

[Brought to you by: Mods Venn and Dove!]

🔪 HEADMATE TEMPLATE 🌑

✦ Name(s): Ellivex, Stabby, Yves ✦ Pronouns: it/its, he/him, x/xs/xself, dae/daem/daer/daers/daerself ✦ Species: demon ✦ Age: 38 ✦ Role(s): BPD holder, symptom manager, syllogist, dissociation holder, social protector ✦ Labels: omnisexual, gendervoid, masculine ✦ Xenos: the moon, eyes, magic ✦ Interests/likes: psychology, journaling, coffee ✦ Dislikes: people who refuse help ✦ Music taste: doom metal, darksynth, indie rock ✦ Aesthetic(s): coffinwood, weirdcore, dark academia ✦ Objectum attraction(s): knives ✦ Kins: ghosts, eye object heads, borzois ✦ Emoji proxy: 🔪🌑 ✦ Details:

Ellivex is a demon who has low emotional empathy but high cognitive empathy and a good ability to understand situations from others' perspectives. While it is subject to some BPD symptoms such as anger, chronic emptiness, and risky behaviors, it finds it easy to deal with the times it or the rest of the system splits on someone such that they see them as overwhelmingly bad. During these moments, Ellivex reasons with headmates or himself as to why people or things aren't as bad as they think, and he sets time limits before acting on behavior so as not to say something to someone impulsively. Ellivex is also good at helping headmates manage their BPD-induced paranoia, but he is not immune to the dissociation that comes with it and holds dissociation as a symptom. It is not very social and prefers recharging alone to socializing with a lot of friends. This means it keeps the system from over-exerting themselves in social situations. He likes writing and journaling and is good at noting things they should talk about in therapy later.

[These can be edited and changed as needed, and headmates will almost definitely not turn out EXACTLY as described.]

🖊🖊 for James and Zephyr!!

ahhh my kiddos!! thank you for the ask <333

James:

A little backstory on James to explain his odd position in DAI 👀 James is in kind of a weird spot regarding the Mage/Templar conflict. He is the second son of a Noble House in the Andrastian Free Marches, and to an extent he subscribes to a lot of what the Chantry says about magic ("magic exists to serve man, not rule over them", mages are dangerous and they need a special space, to be born a mage is a curse, etc.).

But, in his actual practical experience, when his cousin Ava came into her magical abilities, he could see she wasn't dangerous. Everyone could see it, she couldn't do more than create a small puff of ice in her hand. Surely then, his father and step-mother would use their political power to keep her out of the Circle, right? Only dangerous mages need to go to the Circle, right? And not only do his parents refuse to do this, but they stated that "they could if they wanted to, but she was a disgrace to the family", even as they paraded her around every few years for Important Trevelyan Events. This happened when James was about 14, and it created a rift between his family that never healed. From that point on, he was the rebellious trevelyan wild-child. His parents sent him to the Conclave as an attempt to wrangle him into the Chantry life, which backfired when he refused to come home after joining the Inquisition.

Zephyr:

So in my last run of BG3, I stumbled on this NPC:

Her name is Nansi Gretta, she runs "The Bibliophile" bookstore, and I've decided she was Zephyr's bestest buddie before all the tadpole craziness <3 Nansi gave Zephyr first pick on any books she may have been interested in, and in return Zephyr restored any damaged or worn books so Nansi could sell them again. They had a big hug about it when they met up again <3

Send me a “🖊+an OC“ and I will talk about that OC!

[shiverpeakstraveler]

🖊 for Liana?

Send me a “🖊+an OC“ and I will talk about that OC! It can be a headcanon, a fun fact, a small paragraph of backstory- anything! Alternatively, send in just a “🖊“ and I will talk about any one of my OCs at random!

Contrary to mount acquisition ingame, Liana acquires Sif sometime before the personal story takes place.

Bit of a personal headcanon of mine, but the species of wolf Sif belongs to (calling them great wolves for now) are cousins to direwolves like Garm, and -prior to the norn exodus south- were often used as a mode of transportation by the norn in the Far Shiverpeaks. Following Jormag's rising and the exodus, however, the number of great wolves seemed to dwindle, be it the ever-changing landscape diverting their usual routes or falling victim to Dragon Corruption.

Sif's pack managed to find their way down to Wayfarer Foothills, eventually getting rounded up and captured by the Sons of Svanir. The Sons had a plan to turn them into a pack of giant Icebrood wolves to unleash upon Hoelbrak, and were successful in corrupting one of the wolves. Sif was about to be turned next when the Sons were set upon by Liana, her adoptive brother Hjalmar, and a few of their friends. During the battle, Liana was able to break Sif and the other wolves free from their restraints, prompting them to join in the fight, eventually sending the dragon cultists scattering and putting their fallen pack member to rest.

The remaining great wolves were relocated to Wolf's Shrine in Outcast's Cleft, mainly to tend to their wounds and for the shamen to figure out how to care and protect them. Sif, however, had no plans to remain. Liana and Hjalmar both found that Sif and another wolf that would eventually be named Yngvi seemed reluctant to leave the two and kept following them out of the shrine, eventually resulting in the two siblings caving and bringing the wolves home with them.

Since that day, Sif hasn't left Liana's side since, and due to all the exposure to dragon magics/otherworldly powers they have come across, she has developed abilities akin to that of the Elonian Jackal.

@reiiishii asked // 🖊+ SUZUME

send 🖊 and i'll yap about my ocs. // accepting.

SUZUME HORIKAWA - SUSANOO.

a fatherless child, suzume was created by tamamo-no-mae, a result of one of tamamo's tails being sacrificed and the use of magic to keep the tail, and tamamo's spliced DNA, stable during the lengthy incubation process. susanoo was made to be a vessel for the sun god amaterasu; to take over tamamo-no-mae's circle once she was forcibly given all nine of her mother's tails.

what tamamo failed to understand was that susanoo still had the capability of feeling human emotions. even before she was fully formed, she could hear the voices of people around her. those voices, the people within and outside of her mother's group, were the ones that blessed her with the ability to show emotion, to be human. to live. susanoo was punished for being human, despite her yokai heritage.

if she had anyone to thank for giving her the chance to finally be rid of her mother's cruelty, susanoo would have izanami to thank - a yuki-onna, cold but not cold-HEARTED. izanami disappeared into the forests once susanoo - now suzume - was dropped off at a clinic in karakura town, as far from tamamo and her crew as izanami could possibly take her. and if it hadn't been for midnight novelty's owner and employee (tsukuyomi and kiki, of course - @/reiiishii), as well as the wife of the aforementioned owner (amaterasu - @/hxbiris), suzume would've had almost nowhere to go.

suzume eventually comes out of her shell bit by bit, defending karakura town from tamamo-no-mae's impending fury and quietly taking the tails for herself in preparation for one last altercation. she's inevitably killed in the fight, protecting the nogitsune she grew to see as a father.

🖊+Sage!

I love hearing about her :D

EEE OK

Sage comes from an old shut off village (long died out by the time the nnt plot takes place-- long before the Fairy Forest got attacked 3000 years ago. This was before the time where humans commonly absorbed magic, and were just starting the process. Evolution was happening.

Sage was one of the first in her village to develop a magical ability. Unfortunately she was the only one that had a potentially damaging abilty, which is to turn things to poison.

The village wasn't very fond of her ability-- she felt very isolated, becuse it felt like everyone was just waiting for her to turn evil or whatever. When she was in her late teens, she ran off to try and find somewhere that wouldn't make her feel like this. She ended up finidng the fairy forest, and with it, Gloxinia.

She eventually did go home, but continued visiting. They were friends for like 5 years and when her family started trying to get her to marry someone Gloxinia finally made a damn move and she left the human world for good.

other random things

She was scared of him at first, because she'd never seen a fairy before.

She fell first, said nothing, he fell harder.

Gloxinia calls her his Moonrose, because she gives him life. Sometimes she will call him that, but she will usually use Love. He will also call her My Lady

They don't get married but he makes her his official royal partner because he wanted something like marriage but isn't sure how it works

he gave her a drop of the Fountain every decade or so so that he wouldn't outlive her. Of course that happened anyway, but he tried his best.

shes athletic and is fully able to pick him up.

Sage was not liked by every fairy-- many thought their king made a mistake inviting her in, but he didn't care.

*hands you amani and a 🖊*

Amani, from Otherworld Explorer's Club!

She got transported to my world of Laoche when she was 8, the only one of the club to be in your traditional sword and sorcery style fantasy world. When she arrived there, she was adopted by a poor woodcutter family in Isrian (far from the actual plot) but they cared about her and taught her how to use magic and she had older siblings who took her on adventures. Most of it was all pretty mundane stuff for them, but to her, it was a wonderous change from her rocky home life in the Real World.

She had the type of ability that lets you amplify magic in the natural world, allowing her to hear the world songs, help plants grow, heal wounds, turn small breezes into tornados, and transform a candle into a bonfire. She loved using these abilities to entertain people and ended up joining a travelling troupe of performers to see more of this world. She's very acrobatic and very much a dramatic theater kid who likes being the center of attention! The theater troupe became her found family and she loved it there even though she saw more scary parts of the world - lands that were torn by conflict and disease, but she liked the chance to being some joy and enchantment to those people.

When she came back to the real world, she was 18 in Laoche but returned as an 8 year old while retaining all the memories, losing a whole decade of the life she had, losing all the freedom and the independence. She hates it and she's desperate to go back to the world she really calls home, but despite her bitterness, she's still the first to try and cheer up her teammates. She's best friends with Laura and still feels the flicker of magic when she gets overly emotional.

She's the passion to Laura's logic, the recklessness to her precision, the outgoing extroversion to her reserved demeanor, the wanderlust of running TO a place versus the desperation of running AWAY from a place. They make a great team.

🖊 ALSO SOME RAZORSONG RAMBLING and i'll remember to go anon this time (@commanderhorncleaver)

SO RAZORSONG, my beloved shady bastard

Razorsong is a Preceptor in Order of Whispers, the highest ranking members besides the enigmatic Master of Whispers, and as such he holds a large amount of power and control within the Order, and most younger members of the Order don't even know the time Razorsong wasn't a Preceptor, the old charr has been holding the position for a very long time. No one even within the Order knows his real name either, like he just appeared out of nowhere one day, any records of who he was before the Order erased and gone.

Razorsong used his position to entertain his interest in occult and dangerous magic, gathering rare ancient artifacts into his personal collection, some for genuine research, some for his own amusement, eventually gaining a particular interests in the Mists and all the magic, anomalies and creatures tied to them.

That lead Razorsong to eventually, with the help of an ancient spell found in one of his treasured grimoires, find and bind a Mists Demon to his will and harness its power, essentially leashing the creature to Razorsong, a dangerous affair, but one he succeeded in, allowing him to pass through the Mists and unleash the demonic powers on his own whim.

Additionally he has a tendency to pick up promising Whispers agents under his wing for mentorship and work, he was actually the one to take Arren into Whispers after his fiasco in the Ash Legion and save his life that way as he saw potential in him, and right now his protege, and chained attack dog as some might say, is Axel Mindcrusher, an incredibly powerful chronomancer whose abilities Razorsong got interested in, helping him train and get better and give him special priviledges within the Order for exchange of him working in Razorsong's interests.

Now, to lift up some mystery around him, before Whispers Razorsong was an Ash Legion soldier named Decimus Lightstrike. Born sickly and weak, it was doubted he'd even be able to go through the Fahrar, something Decimus managed to do with sheer stubbornness, and with the decision to lean into magical training to compensate for his lack of physical strength, something he turned out to have a talent in, gaining quite an ambition that eventually led him to work with some Flame Legion shamans, feeding them Ash intel in exchange for their magical knowledge and an opportunity to eventually join in Flame, where they said he'd be able to become a high-ranking Shaman with his abilities. That didn't come to pass though, as he was uncovered and was going to face the tribunal. That wouldn't come either, as panicing Decimus would end up killing his warband and running, all except one survivor, his former partner and legionnaire, Asriel Lightwill.

He ended up going back to the Flame Shaman that he was working with, who never actually planned to let him join, just using the charr's ambitions for his own gain. That obviously enraged Lightstrike, showing the Shaman just how much he has learned from him, a show of force the Shaman wouldn't survive.

After that, he ended up on the run for a while, skulking around Kryta in hiding before eventually running into some Whispers Agents and doing a couple of odd jobs for them, impressing them with his magical power and knowledge, resulting in him joining in with the Order, taking on a new name and eventually, through favors, manipulations and covert operations wiping all records of who he was beforehand, rising to power as the enigmatic preceptor, Razorsong. The only person who remembers him from before is his surviving bandmate, Asriel, who remained an Ash free agent after becoming a gladium and getting injured in that incident, but he's far away from Razorsong now.

🖊 🖊 🖊 for the ocs giving u the most brain rot

So, I have a couple of newer OCs who manifested while I was busy living in the woods, who I haven't been able to talk about yet.

First up is a funky little dude named Flare Solstis. They're one of the oldest beings in the multiverse and was created directly by the Unexisting, one of the four primordial entities in my lore who is the entity of creation and destruction. They are also hilariously out of touch with most major things that happen in the multiverse because they just made themselves a paradise pocket dimension and hang out there most of the time. They LOVE to play games with people, extremely deadly games that are really only fun for them and not the actual players.

Another new addition to the brain soup is a woman named Zoe. She's from my Rot and Ruin story universe, and she's a wildlife technician/wildlife biologist who's worked primarily in my twisted, weird version of Wyoming. She might get her own short story, but I'm not entirely sure yet, cause she's a part of a special little secret project I'm currently working on. I would like to give her her own story though, because she's Seen Things.

I also have a funky new Guy who lives in my friend Isa's world of Arboresia who has been consuming a lot of my brainspace. His name is Bristol Isaacs, and he works for a branch of the Nevermore Institute that is based in the territory of Jazswing (basically the roaring '20's if it was a physical place with magic). He's an Ability user, which means he has one extremely hyperspecific magical ability, and his is that he can infiltrate anywhere, as long as he's wearing a specific outfit. He's also in an extremely unhealthy codependent nightmare of a relationship with an evil little shit named Adric. Bristol is currently hiding Adric from the authorities, who are hunting Adric because he is a nightmare who likes killing and also forcefully turning people into the same kind of creature he is, which is VERY not okay in Arboresia.

🖊 + Laurel!!!!

Laurel is so excited when papa decides she's old enough to start trying to learn magic. Her dad is a paladin, her papa, gramma, grandpa, and auntie are clerics, and her Nini is a druid, so she's been surrounded by magic her whole life. She inherited the firbolg ability to disappear at will, talk to plants and animals, and when she's a little older she masters disguise self, but she is SO excited to learn more. I think she eventually becomes a druid, I love the idea of her using wild shape to run with the goats or fly over the fields.

🖊 - Dawn

Dawn's turn!

I think I'll talk a little about Dawn's psychic abilities!

Shes still a beginner in psychic magic, so her spells are quite weak. She can move small objects and open doors if they arent too thick, but other than that its kinda useless 😅 shes working on it, though! She makes sure to leave room for studying and practice every day, though sometimes she pushes herself too far and ends up giving herself nosebleeds or migraines.

🖊🖊🖊 make cianan suffer >:3c

Gladly :3

🖊 Cianan and Bull have two kids: a daughter, Cypress, and a son, Fionntan. Cypress, their eldest, was born about seven months after Trespasser, so take that as you will. She's a mage, and I imagine the anchor acting up may have played a small role in her sensitivity to the Fade. Cianan was decidedly Not Having Fun during the council, but if he was going to die, he didn't reaaaally want to leave an already grieving Bull with more grief over a child. So he just...didn't mention that until the anchor was removed.

Fionntan is like four during Veilguard. Trying to wrangle two kids under 10 during the Turbo Blight might explain why Cianan wasn't around as much. He didn't inherit the same magical talent as his sister, but he's very good at breaking things.

🖊 His parents, both members of Clan Lavellan, abandoned him when he was a year old with their Keeper to leave the Dalish and start a new life. In the long run, Cianan is probably better adjusted than he would have been with them, but it gave him some serious abandonment issues.

His father eventually married a much younger woman in the Halamshiral alienage and had a daughter, Eavan Aldwir, who would ironically leave Orlais to join the Dalish as a teenager.

🖊 His goal as Herald/Inquisitor for a long time was to do as little harm as possible in the pursuit of helping people, usually mages and elves. The Winter Palace changed that juuuuust a bit.

Cianan wasn't terribly familiar with the plight of city elves when he was younger, other than the fact that they were mistreated and forced to live in squalor. In brushing up on his Orlesian politics, he learned about what elves in Orlais suffered under Celene. When allowing her to die was presented as an option, with the ability to blackmail Gaspard into letting Briala rule behind the throne, he gladly took it.

Send me a 🖊 for an oc fact!

A great choice!!! 💖

Since being revived, his magic has changed a bit. He's got some of the Mists in him now, and his healing abilities as a guardian have suffered but his protective abilities have been boosted. It's a little harder for him to channel healing through the new magic but it's extremely robust!

He's still the Commanders field medic up through EoD, for being an impersonable kind of guy he's very gentle and kind when someone needs help.

Extra fact, he's also the only one in his house (Trahearne, Mar @ascalonianpicnic, and him) who knows how to put a meal together. If he's out or busy, the other two order takeout.
