new year kiss series: jacob

[summary] it would be your first new years with jacob and your only concern is if he can kiss you without making you mad  [words] 1.5k words 

♡ new year kiss series masterlist ♡

“If I could have another of your raspberry cupcakes from Christmas, I wouldn’t.” Jacob joked with a giggle while trying to cover his gagging mouth with a fist. 

“Stop it, oh my god.” You looked offended as you rolled your eyes at him. Your cupcakes weren’t even a fail, they all tasted good as commented by all of your friends at the party. 

“Not if they looked ‘caked.’” His laugh grew louder as he didn’t see your swinging arm. Actually, he sensed it but couldn’t flinch away from getting slapped by it. He groaned in a squeek, his hand holding onto his arm with his puppy eyes. 

“Jacob, please. It was only those with a raspberry inside.” You turned away for real this time, crossing your arms as you tried to distract yourself from his lame comments to the performers on the TV for the new year countdown. 

“No, it was all of them.” He whispered with a snarky smirk but you caught it right away. 

“Jacob!” You shouted, having enough his him dissing your baking skills before you wrapped your arms over his shoulders and pushed him down onto the couch. He couldn’t breathe as he tried to pull you back but it was no use. “What did I tell you? Stop, didn’t I?” 

“Ah! Don’t! I was just kidding!” Jacob tried to reason but you kept your arms tightly behind him, poking your chin against his shoulder blade. In defense, he yelled for help, catching some of your friends around. Of course, some of them laugh before going back to their circles but if he had to call for someone specifically, it would be Sangyeon. 

Sangyeon headed toward the scene, watching you tangled over Jacob. His eyes slightly widened as if it was a usual scene between you both then he ended up smiling like a proud friend. 

“Whoa, what’s happening here?” You turned your head to Sangyeon, following Jacob. 

“Nothing.” You answered, your lips smiling widely. You got up from Jacob, your face blushing as you sat back to where you were, eyes roaming the floor then to the TV. It got quiet all of a sudden when you looked at Sangyeon, who was still standing there with a weird expression. 

“You sure it’s nothing?” Sangyeon asked, watching Jacob pleading his eyebrows at him. 

“Yeah, don’t worry about it.” You smiled and nodded quickly. 

Sangyeon stared for another second before he walked away. He took a glance back at Jacob, who whispered to him, “Thank you.” 

Sangyeon laughed when he saw you rolling your eyes with a distorted smirk. He turned away before you held a fist up close to Jacob’s face. “Do you want to get it?” 

“Get what?” Jacob asked in a flirty way, giving your an obvious look after flinching. His smirk was getting into you so you shook your head again. 

“Jacob please stop that before I ask Sangyeon to punch your face.” 

“Do it then~” Jacob mumbled playfully as if he was scared of you. His pouty lips were annoying you as you strangled your arms around him again as all you could hear was his laugh. You couldn’t help but giggle with him. This happens so often that he always manages to make you laugh somehow, even after a few disses over what you love to do because at the end of the day, he was always there for you. 

Throughout the night, he continued to bother you, making you blushing out of nowhere. Of course, when you met his eyes from across the room, he smooched his lips at you before you rolled your eyes away. You didn’t mind at all because he’s usually playful but somehow today, you wished he’d be more romantic because you knew everyone was doing the new year kiss. You wanted it to be special since it’ll be your first time spending it together. You hoped that he could read your mind when you tried to waste time talking to friends at the party.  

A few hours later, about 10 minutes before the clock hits 12, you lost Jacob from the living. Luckily, you found him standing outside on Sangyeon’s small porch. Good thing the winter weather wasn’t that cold but he still shivered a bit in his comfy sweater after a nice hot cocoa that Sangyeon made for everyone. Once you came through the slide door and into the porch, a soft smile flashes on his lips. 

“Why are you out here?” You asked as you made your way to him. He was leaning onto the edge of the rail, his back facing you. 

“I was waiting for you.” His sweet voice bloomed through the cool air. He waited for you to get to him before taking your hand, finally intertwining your fingers together. 

Your fainted laugh made Jacob blush. You could barely see it as the only light that flashed at their sides was the light coming from the dining room inside through the slide door. The atmosphere was so different when there wasn't anyone around (or when he was in a soft mood unlike earlier), but you asked, “Aren’t you cold?” 

“No.” His head tilted a little, one eyes slightly closing as he made his point. “It’s not that cold right now.” 

You rubbed your arm though, feeling the breeze brushing your cheeks. You huddled in closer to him, eyes shining at him. “But I’m cold.” 

Those kinds of words always warm his heart as he pulled you into his embrace, his arms connecting your bodies together tightly. You closed your eyes, enjoying the warmth against him when he rested his chin over your head. He could feel your warm breath against his neck, tickling him as he smiled with a sigh then he asked in a quiet tone, “Are you still cold?” 

You nodded, wanting to stay like that for a bit longer but he pulled you back slowly just to meet your  sparkling eyes. There was soft curve on his lips that you noticed, knowing that it was coming soon. 

“We’re supposed to be inside.” Your pout made him smile. He came closer to you, watching the galaxy in your eyes just a little bit closer. 

“I know, but you were taking too long.” He replied, one of his eyes slightly shut as if he was winking at you. 

“You can’t even wait for me for like, 2 minutes?” You laughed, shaking your head with your grin. 

“Of course I can but it’s a special day, you know?” Jacob lightly snuggled his nose at the tip of yours, your breath touching his lips already. He moved back to meet your eyes again and whispered, “It’s our first new years together.” 

“Got plans?” 

Jacob shook his head at your lame joke because it was obviously new years in a few seconds. You both already made plans for tomorrow (or today) as he sighed softly, gazing into the love you’re sending to his eyes. “Of course, more than just what I’m about to do next.” 

You could hear Juyeon and his partner counting down the time as your fingers curled at the fabric of his sweater at his upper arms, hands hiding in your paws. You couldn’t look away from him as his glance moved down slowly to your lips, catching your parting lips. You knew you were caught but you wanted it this way, being as romantic as ever. You could hear your own heart beating in your ears when your eyes saw him inhaling the love of the air. 

Jacob moved in, tilting his head a bit until his cold trembling lips tangle with yours. His head hung down so you didn’t have to move much from the way he was guiding you. One of his hands stayed pressed at your hips and the other lightly touching the back of your neck after a short trip up your back. The touch brought chills down your spine as he could feel the heat forming on your cheeks. When he made another loop with his jaws, he took a step until your feet were right next to each other as you almost lost your balance when his chest pushed you. You gripped harder at his sweater, taking his hard kiss as you stayed lingering at his cold lips that you craved to warm it up as your lips move in sync with his. 

The session stopped when you both felt tips of wet-coldness on your cheeks. You looked up after opening your eyes to see that it was snowing. You grinned as Jacob smiled, being the first to steal your eyes first before you could steal his. 

“It’s so beautiful.” Jacob’s whisper against the cold air as you giggled at the sight, your heart still racing from kiss then you looked back at him when he confessed, “You’re beautiful.” 

“Jacob, please stop that already.” You blushed as you laughed. Your fingers began to loosen and some of them tapped at his arm when you asked, “Should we go inside?” 

“No, let’s just stay like this for a while.” He shook his head as you gave him a puzzled look. He quickly planted a kiss on your cheek then whispered, “Happy new year.” 

To make this sweet moment last, your lips twitched into a cozy smile after saying the same back. You rested your head onto his chest as you both looked through the darkened air where the snow lit your visions. Even though there would be plenty of cuddles tomorrow, you sighed, hoping to go inside soon because you were still cold.

Natasha Romanoff X Reader - Natasha's secret

Sypnosis: For a long time, Natasha has kept you hidden from the outside world. No one but Nick knew about your existence. It was going to change soon when the team was in danger and needed help.

Warnings: Angst(?), fluff, a little bit of smut.

So it's the first story I've written for tumblr and I hope you enjoy it. Please don't forget to let me know what you think, your feedback is what keeps me writing. I'm open to requests so hit me up.

The team had been compromised. They needed a place to hide. Your place was the nearest and the most well equipped. Natasha knew that. She brought them there replying all questions with "We'll be safe there."

Cap had the worst injury and needed to be treated asap, Clint had needed stitches, Tony only had a few bruises due to his suit, Thor was mostly unscathed and your girlfriend, Natasha had a bullet lodged in her thigh.

You were sitting down at your desk doing last minute night work when the front door opened. Your eyes lit up. It meant that Natasha was home. You stepped out to see the Avengers staggering into your living room. They looked visibly startled to see you but didn't say anything. Their eyes held fatigue and you grabbed your coat from behind your door hurriedly.

Your worried eyes scanned for Natasha. She had an arm around Thor and hobbled into the room.

"Baby I'm sorry. I didn't have time to-" she tried to explain but you cut her off.

"It's fine. Sit down guys." You quickly took out your first aid box. The name "First-aid box" gave it no justice as it contained everthing anyone could possibly need from band-aids to sutures and scapels. It even had a comfort toy.

You instructed Clint and Cap to lie down. You quickly strip the dining table of it's decorations and sterilize the surface. You lay down a cloth and tell Clint to sit there while you stitch up his arm. Being the expert that you were, he was good to go in 7 minutes.

As for Cap his wound was much more complicated. Thor carried him to the table. You assessed the injury, set up what you needed and got to work. There was a small shard of the alien like blade lodged into his abdomen. His stomach was punctured but the other organs were all fine. You removed the shard and quickly added gauze around the area. There were no other shards and you quickly and skillfully stitched up his stomach. The stiches were small and precise. The Avengers watched your movements in awe. In no time you had stitched up the tear in his stomach. "Thor" you called out to the man standing next to the machine, "Vitals please."

"Erm lots of numbers.... Which colour ones do you need?"

"Vitals are stable baby. You can stitch him up." Natasha piped in.

You gave a nod and started to suture up the wound. You tried your best to make the wound look pretty and to stitch it up so it wouldn't scar too much. The man had to look pretty. He was Captain America after all. Once you were done with the last stitch you cut the thread and heaved a sigh of relief.

"He'll be much better after some rest. Lay him down on the bed down the hall please. The blue door."

As Thor carried Captain to the spare room, you help Natasha onto the table and sat her down. The bullet was lodged in her upper thigh. Easy to remove and only a about two stitches were needed. It was a simple but painful procedure. As if she could read your thoughts, Natasha said "Just do it Y/N. I can take it."

You looked up to her with a worried expression. "You sure?"

"Go ahead," she said as she pushed her leg towards you.

You breathed deepy and went in with the tweezers. She laid her head on your neck and gripped the back of your shirt as you reached in , gritting her teeth, eyes squeezed shut. As you pulled the bullet out, Natasha screamed and gripped your shirt even tighter. The scream sent chills down your spine hating the fact that your loved one had to feel pain.

She let out the breath she didn't even know she had been holding when the metalic cling of you plopping the bullet into the tray sounded out. Even as you stitched up the wound, she never did let go of your shirt. Only until you were done with the stitches then did she let go. You wrapped up her leg and gave it a gentel pat.

"Good job little red." You said as you said before giving her a peck on lips.

You turned around to see the remaining of the team looking at the two of you, looking like they were going to burst from the number of questions they wanted to ask but refrained from asking.

You didn't even change your gaze as you applied medicinal remedy on all their bruises that would male sure the ugly blue and purple marks would fade within 12 hours. "I'll blow up some beds," you said before walking to the store room the get the inflatable beds that you and Natasha had gotten in case of this kind of emergency.

She had told you when you had started dating that it wasn't an easy path to take when you wanted to date the world's best spy. But you didn't care. Now, you're her everything and she was your world. You trained in the medical line to make sure that if she ever came home injured you could treat her. To make sure that in any situation, she would never leave you as long as she was in your hands.

You fit the beds in the visitors room next to the existing bed which held a sleeping Steve Rogers. You put the other two in the living room.

"You guys can wash up in the toilet. It's in the room Cap's in. Beds are ready but you can sleep anytime you want. I'll go cook something. You boys must be hungry.

You walk to the kitchen to begin cooking up some greens, meat and your secret recipe smoothies used to boost up Nat's strength for the team. Just as you were done searing the steak, Natasha walked in.

"Hey uhm Y/N. I'm really sorry about coming in like this. We just...we just were in a really tight spot and I know you don't-" Natasha tried to explain before you slienced her with a kiss. The kiss turned heated and you lifted her onto the island. She grabbed your face and wrapped her legs around your waist as you slipped your hands around her and pulled her closer. She tasted the same as always, sweet. But this time there was something else that could be felt. Desire.

You hadn't seen each other in months and you two were so deperate to hold each other again. To touch each other again that you completely forgot where you were. All you needed was her. Her touch. Her kiss. Her smell.

All tongues and lips left red. Teeth clashing, tongues brushing. You didn't care about anything as long as she was safe and in your arms.

The sound of someone clearing their throat snapped you and Nat out of the trance you had been in. It was Thor. "I'm sorry lovely lady who's been smooching the all so deadly and private, Natasha Romanoff. But can we take her for just a sec. I promise we'll return her to you."

You blushed furiously and coughed awkwardly unwrapping Natasha's legs which have been tightly holding you in place. "Of course you may, I'll just cook the rest of the food up and we'll eat how does that sound?"

Natasha smirked at your embarassment and gave you a kiss on the cheek before walking off.

Thor turned around and gave a wink before skipping over to the sofa where the concious Avengers were gathered.

You fanned yourself trying to cool down from what had just happened before you cut the steak and set them onto their respective warmed plates, adding the greens as well as some garnishes. You put those in the warmer as you got started on the, as you call it, strength smoothies.

Throwing frozen fruit, vegetables and açaí just to add flavour into the blender, you buzzed the thing up. In about 10 minutes, you had a jug full of the smoothie and put it into the fridge. The Avengers were still talking and so you decided to start washing up. You put all the pots and pans in the sink and slowly scrubbed each and everyone of them. You hummed your favourite song as you cleaned trying to make the process less boring. Once done you wiped it all with a dry, clean towel and put them back in their respective places.

Natasha always liked to call you a perfectionist. Making sure things were neat despite the number of things you had. Your shared bedroom was split into two. The left side hers, and the right side yours. Her side was simplistic. All the basic things like her tools, a gun, black widow bites and a picture frame with the two of you in a lip lock during one of your dates infront of a ferris wheel. Your side however, was a neat mess of photos hung on walls, strings linking them together. A peg board with momentos as well as your drawing of your girlfriend. You can even see the distinct line on the walls where the room was split because in order to save space, you lined the photos up in a straight, vertical line going down from as high as you could reach to the dresser which you two, also shared.

You smiled at the memory of Natasha teasing you about how you might as well decorate the bathroom in half as well with all your antics. Your reply to that was "I would. But then we can never get hot and steamy inside like we always do," which earned you a pinch to your cheek that although painfull, made her so cute that you just had to kiss her.

Snapping out of your flashback, you saw Natasha leaning against the entrance of the kitchen.

"Wake up dreamy. We're done you can cone out now." You can see that she was tired. But her eyes had a green sparkle. Her body was toned and curvy in all the right places making you want to just pounce on her. But you refrained from doing so. Not while everyone was here.

"Yes Ma'am," you said smiling as you put the last pan away and took out the food, balancing three on your right arm and two on your left.

You laid the food out as Natasha handed them the utensils. You went back in to get the drink before all you you sat down around the table and ate dinner.

"Oh my god Nat. You never told us your...." Tony said before pausing. "Roomate, was so good at cooking." He finished with a small smirk.

"That's funny Tony. You see. I don't even remember telling you I *had* said roomate." Natasha replied.

"Well now that you *did*, why not just let the cat out of the bag huh Nat. How long has it been?" Tony asked excitement flowing out of him.

At that moment, Tony looked like a child, giddy with excitement. Curious to know everything around him.

Natasha looked at you and you flashed her an 'it's okay' smile. "It's been two years and a half." She replied flatly.

"Didn't think you of all people would be able to have such a long relationship. Being away so much and all." Thor teased before letting out a groan as Natasha kicked him from under the table.

The others at the table just grinned at this knowing that you and her were serious about the relationship.

The rest of the meal consisted of the Avengers learning more about you, how you met Natasha and as, you quote Tony, "Deal with such a difficult woman".

The crew slowly started to learn about you, what you did for a living and why you were so good at fixing people. Their trust grew as well as certainty that you were, indeed the only one that can make Natasha soft and believed that you were the right one for her.

"Did I miss anything?" Cap's voice rang out as you guys sat around drinking after the dinner.

"Nope," Clint said. "How are you feeling Cap?"

"Better, and curious." Steve replied.

You had gone to the kitched to retrieve his part of the dinner and as you approached him he asked "Who are you and why are you so good at stitching people up?"

"Hi Steve. I'm Y/N. Natasha's girlfriend. I'm trained in all aspects of medical care to make sure that she," you pause and look at Natasha, "Is always safe." You end with a smile looking straight into Steve's eyes.

"Considering that you did such a good job on me, I'm sure Nat's not going to have any problems. Pleased to meet you. I'm Steve Rogers also known as Captain America," he stuck his hand out for a shake.

You grinned and shook his hand thankful that he trusts you with one of his best friends.

"Hey Natasha. I get why you like her so much now. Her smile is entracing isn't it." Steve said as he tucked in.

"Too bad guys. She's mine." Natasha said protectively before pulling you onto the couch, between her legs and hugging you and shooting the men a glare.

You're the head dumpster fire, in charge of recruiting more dumpster fires, and also you're apparently running an Arling that you never asked for and you have to deal with all these shitty nobles all the time but YOUR DUMPSTER FIRES are all right there beside you and you have the best papa dumpster fire ever who kicks nobles out of your dumpster fire house when you're tired of partying and basically it's this tiny fucked up little family and you all stumble down to breakfast in the morning in various states of hung over except for that one dwarf guy who's probably still drunk, you eat your eggs and toast in cranky silence, and then you go be big goddamn heroes.

....I really loved Awakening ok. Fite me.

8. You’re a night or a morning person?

I'm like a "night but the part of night where it's technically morning right up til morning" kind of person.

9. You have any tattoos?

Yus.

Nobody sigil from Kingdom Hearts wrapped in a treble clef between my shoulder blades.

A design of Helios on my left upper arm with "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" underneath it because House Martell prideeee.

The Arabic word for "cat" on my left forearm, drawn to look like a cat.

I'm saving up for a griffon tattoo and maybe a stylized one of "can I get you a ladder so you can get off my back?" :3

10. How many languages you speak?

Fluent in English. Can understand Korean fairly well, but can't speak it quite as easily. Basic fluency in Italian. I can read it much better that I can speak it.

11. Where would you most like to visit?

The mountains in South Korea. I was born there and I've only ever been back to Seoul and a village on the outskirts where my grandparents lived. I want to spend like a week or so out there under the stars. ❤️

12. What’s the best book you’ve read?

The Poisonwood Bible.

So I was forced to read this in high school. And I went to a Baptist high school, so of course when I saw this summary of it I immediately went "oh fuck no."

"The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver, is a bestselling novel about a missionary family, the Prices, who in 1959 move from the U.S. state of Georgia to the village of Kilanga in the Belgian Congo, close to the Kwilu River."

Like. I was FULLY prepared to grit my teeth and spark notes another goddamn glorified colonialism story.

And then I read the damn thing.

And y'all this book is FUCKED UP. That missionary family? It's told from the POV of all of the daughters as they watch their father get more and more fanatical and abusive, as they struggle with culture shock, NONE of them wanted to be here, the majority of them slowly start to lose their faith and abandon their religion.

One of the girls is very clearly neurodivergent, but she's not really written as a character you're supposed to feel sorry for, and she's a total badass.

It has its problematic elements, but I think the fact that it's now seared indelibly into my brain is because I was 100% expecting a fucked up pro missionary story and ended up finding a story of the shit that happens to everyone else in the periphery of said pro missionary stories.

Was incredibly surprised to have read this in my AP Lit class at a Baptist high school, but goddamn, it shook me.

13. Who is your favourite BioWare character?

A N D E R S

Anders is my boy. I will ride or die for Anders. Anders was right. Fuck the Chantry. F I T E M E.

Bonus: fine Dwarven crafts, direct from Orzammar

14. Who’s your least preferred BioWare character?

Going to stick to Dragon Age because I'm too tired to rummage through my brain for other fandoms. And there's so many people I hate in Mass Effect. Hah.

Anyway. Livius Erimond kind of grinded my gears a lot, so much so that in my first mage playthrough I pissed off a ton of people and made him Tranquil. Like. My entire inner circle disapproved, it was fucking amazing. I'll never be able to make myself do it again because I felt so dirty after that I literally had to pause the game and take a shower, but man. Erimond is really good at pressing buttons.

15. What’s your favourite game?

Dragon Age Inquisition and Mass Effect 3. And Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark. Valen Shadowbreath was my first bioware love.

16. What’s your spirit animal patronus?

According to Pottermore it's a dragonfly but I'm pretty sure it's actually a cat.

Going with patronus instead of spirit animal because I've been asked to avoid appropriating that term as someone who is not of Native ancestry, and so I shall. Respect indigenous cultures. ✌️❤️

17. Cake or ice cream?

Fine Dwarven cakes, direct from Orzammar. Preferably almond or Chantilly. :D

18. Dogs or cats?

🐈 Kitties 🐈

19. What was your favourite DA romance?

3 Way Tie (although this could change since I haven't done all of them myself.)

Anders - because his whole arc is just so FUCK THE CHANTRY and he's such a Good Person who is Struggling and at the end of the day he's a soft feathery boy who loves you and cares about making people not hurt anymore and also is into some wild shit in bed and also loves cats. Let's be mentally ill cuddly softs together, Anders, I will give you my everything always, my soft feathery mage boy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Leliana - soft but stabby song princess becomes the pope and her devoted girlfriend wife swoons quietly through all of it.

Cullen - weirdly enough, I did not expect to enjoy this romance as much as I did. I kind of hated him in the first two games, like when I ran into him in 2 I still hadn't forgiven him for the "KILL ALL THE MAGES" outburst and was just like. "Ugh it's this motherfucker." And then I saw him again in Inquisition and was like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHITHEAD DOING HERE? HE'S FIRED. FIRE HIM, CASSANDRA.

But then Cassandra never reciprocated my affections, Blackwall yelled at me on the battlements about propriety and we're at war so I dumped him, and then Vivienne turned me down and I was like FINE FUCK ALL Y'ALL I'M GONNA SMOOCH CULLEN OUT OF SPITE.

And then he's all like. "I went through some shit. I said some really fucked up stuff. Also I'm trying to get clean and it's literally killing me but I don't want anything to do with that old life anymore." And the chess scene, and then me getting really personally enraged at all the Orlesians copping nonconsensual feels at Halamshiral and then I woke up one day and was like wow OK this dude's alright, he's even kind of cute, I guess I can-

"marry me?" "OKAY YES."

*shrug* I'm weak.

20. Do you prefer sunshine or are you a winter person?

Sunshine in winter, ideally, but if I have to choose between one or the other, winter.

Anyway. I broke rules, oops. Gonna tag @sasshole-for-rent @suzumicchi @joufancyhuh @laraslandlockedblues @becauseanders @inner-muse @ladymdc @agentkatie @kawakaeguri @a-shakespearean-in-paris @ekoorb03 @lyrium-lovesong @5ftgarden

30. Would they smooch a ghost?

100% YES

[silversiphon]

Kai Setsuna

Stole the OC meme from here, and needed to have this out in the world somewhere. Also so I can come back and reference it later.

1.       What is your Hunter’s full name? How/why did you choose it?

Kai Setsuna (no middle name). I honestly picked WTNC up on a whim at 1 in the morning after seeing someone I follow post screen shots of it and watching a bunch of Gundam 00, so I took my Shepard’s first name and the alias of the main character and wound up with their name. 

2.       How old are they?

32

3.       How tall are they?

5′ 4″ (162.5 cm)

4.       What are their pronouns?

They/Them

5.       What is their sexuality?

Pansexual

6.       Who are they romancing? If you’re undecided, which LI(s) do you find interesting and why?

Okay. Bit of a story here. Kai was rather taken with Finn from the get-go, which was startling for them given they have an unfortunate history with Vampires. Add in his very evident affection for Ezra, they’d written off getting involved with either of them in an effort to respect whatever was unresolved there. Only they both flirted with Kai (Finn seemed particularly receptive), smooches were had, and they wound up in a relationship with them both. Which they are delightfully pleased about.

7.       Have they had any previous relationships?

Nothing lasting. The first time they fell in love on an assignment (a young woman named Emily), things fell apart fairly quickly after they were reassigned. After that, they were careful about getting  romantically involved--which makes their relationship with Ezra and Finn all the more startling, given how easily they both saw to the core of them and made them feel like they could safely give all of themselves.

8.       What is their relationship with their family like? Are they close, distant etc.

Kai’s parents died in a vampire attack when they were very young. They have very little memory of it, beyond a vague impression of being hurt and afraid, but their older brother, Daniel, also became a Hunter. Until the Lunaris assignment, they’d not seen each other in almost a decade.

9.       What was their childhood like?

Kai essentially grew up with Daniel at the Academy. Their childhood was spent surrounded by Hunters, by Enforcers, by those that work with and around the Agency: after what they survived, and what Daniel remembered, all they really wanted was to become like the adults that had looked after them.

10.   What are they like as an adult?

Kai is a peace keeper. They’re skilled, capable, good at reading a room and using that to their advantage. They are genuine, but when it comes to giving of themself, they’re guarded and slow to open up. They’re used to keeping others or being kept at a distance, so they try to be a positive influence but are surprised when others express a true interest in them as a person.

11.   Who is their ride or die?

Their mentor, Ceiarra.

12.   What attracts them to another person?

Kai is attracted to confidence, to compassion, to kindness. A good sense of humor doesn’t hurt, and good taste in liquor is a bonus.

13.   What do they look like? Either describe them or, if you’re comfortable with it, post a picture.

14.   If someone else wanted to draw them, what are some distinct physical features that you would like them to know about to draw them correctly?

They’ve got distinct claw scars (Lycan) on the left side of their face, running from their cheek down and along their shoulder/upper chest. There’s another scar that bisects their right eyebrow, and their torso is marred across the left side by a set of marks to match the ones on their face. They have a number of bite scars on their arms (as an archer, they wind up in hand-to-hand combat far too often), and a few magic-related scars littered across their legs and torso. Kai also never wears their hair down, unless it’s to sleep or other -ahem- activities. 

15.   Do they have any tattoos? Do you have refs you’re comfortable sharing?

No tattoos for Kai. They take enough hits that it never seemed worth spending time and money on the ink, given it would be ruined in a matter of hunts.

16.   Do they have any scars? Do you have refs you’re comfortable sharing?

See #14, but the only ones I’ve fully drawn out can can be found here. More comprehensive images coming sometime soonish.

17.   Do they have any prosthetics? Do you have refs you’re comfortable sharing?

No prosthetics. Yet, anyway.

18.   What is their weapon of choice?

Kai prefers the longbow, but is also good with a longsword in a pinch.

19.   What are their strengths? Is there something they specialize in?

They’re strongest at range--they hold top marks in marksmanship, and can hit most targets at an impressive range. They’re also no slouch in hand-to-hand and bladed combat, but it’s taken them many years of near-deaths to become properly proficient.

20.   What are their weaknesses? How do they compensate for these weaknesses (if they do)?

Close-quarters, though manageable, is still not preferred for them. They’ve come to compensate with better armor and additional training, but they often rely on their own impressive pain tolerance more than they should.

21.   Name one good personality trait and one bad personality trait they have.

Kai is compassionate, and feels deeply with and for others. However, they’ve got a very short fuse, which often gets them in trouble--especially if they think they’re in the right.

22.   Are they approachable? Or do they prefer to keep their distance?

They’re approachable. Happy to sit down for a drink and a chat, but if you want to actually get to know them, that may take a while.

23.   What makes them smile?

A good joke, hot chocolate, seeing the people they’re protecting happy and safe. 

24.   What makes them truly angry? Are they quick to anger?

Kai becomes truly angry when innocent people are put at risk, especially for another’s self interest. They try to keep a rein on their temper (peace keeper), but they’re bad at it in the moment.

Part 2 will come eventually, but here’s the start!
