#183cm final form

[brailsthesmolgurl]

Delirious

No matter how much you had offered your heart and arms to him, you were never his. And he was never yours.

Another oneshot requested by my angsty babies, I am glad you chose Rafayel. Yes, the writer you had wished for is back. Hang on tight to your seats baby gurl, this one gonna be hard to swallow.

Warnings: Angst, no comfort. Make your eyes bleed. Character death. Descriptive Mentions of dark topics so if ur sensitive please refrain.

Artwork is not mine, please support the original artwork!

Ding Dong. Ding Dong. Ding Dong. dINg dOng. DiNg dOnG.

You slammed your door opened and the 183cm drama queen stands in your doorway, head hung low, face drooped towards the floor. If he is not made of solid muscle and bones, you would be watching him melting right into the floor. Sighing, you stood aside and let him in, not even bothering to ask him a single question. You sort of having a gist on what had happened.

"Here, soup for you." He replied solemnly, feet carrying him lazily across the living room and to your kitchen. He brought soup this time, must be something big. Him bringing a souvenir over also means he would probably be staying the night. Not that you guys are in a relationship or anything, but 'complicated' is the right term for the both of you as of this stage.

The chair creaked under his weight as he took a seat on the wooden chair slotted at your dining table. "Rafayel." You grabbed a tissue box and sat down on the opposite end, a good necessity whenever he drops by your house unannounced. His hunched over form under the harsh lighting of your dining room's light unexpectedly painted a blob of shadow on your table. You reached your hand out this time, finger tapped on the wooden table just a few centimeters away from his hand. "Rafayel, are you okay?"

"She broke up with me." His reply was short. No details, no whining, no accusations, but just one sentence. This is an untouched territory for you. Most of the time, he would pressed on the doorbell nonstop until you slam open the door and his lips would not shut off till he was done venting. There were a couple of times he did came in looking like a dreaded fish, but the smell of alcohol would be the perfume of his. Today, however, no alcohol smell and no usual harangues.

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆.

Few days passed, till few weeks, then few months after. For such a while, Rafayel had been hanging out more frequently with you, bringing you to the most random places to hang out such as going to a bowling alley just to get their waffles because he claims he likes to watch people roll balls but he also likes the waffles there. A trip to the market only to buy crabs and releasing them into the backyard to watch which one could run the fastest then the winner shall be rewarded as dinner on the dining table.

He had never been weirder than ever, but maybe this is his way of coping and who are you to judge? You had never been in love. But reading through romance books and watching all of the romantic shows, when love comes to your mind, Rafayel comes to your mind. You thought, maybe you do love him?

"Get out." Your words were final. Index finger sliced through the air and pointed straight towards your front door. Your cheeks glistened under the reflecting light casted by the television that was playing a teen romance flick. But no attention was spared for the movie anymore. "Rafayel. GET. OUT."

"What do you mean?" Eyebrows sewn together, eyeing your expression that spelled hurt. He was confused about your sudden burst of anger. "All I did was talk about the movie. And you got mad at me all of a sudden."

"You did not talk about the movie. All you did, was compared me to her, with the context of the movie." Your nostrils flared, tears stinging at the back of your eyes as if you had inhaled poison. Your throat and chest tightening further the more you held your tears in. "You lied to me. You said you got over her." Your arm fell to your sides, voice feeble. "But, why do you always find the need to compare me to her?"

"Oh spare me, I just went through a breakup, I could use the space to let loose, can't I?" His ignorance egged you on, seeing how indifferent he is about this situation. "Furthermore, I could use the---"

"And you think it's okay to play with my feelings?!" You belted, eyes welled up with tears, blurring your vision. You stepped up to him, hands pointed towards his face this time and you seethed in anger. "You, came here everytime, when she broke your heart. And out of everytime, I stayed. I waited." Your voice started cracking. "I was there for you when you had nobody else. And I picked you up when you thought you could not live without her anymore."

"Well, you could have just left if you---" He chipped in and you slapped him across his face with your palm. Although your hands are small, but it packed enough of a force to cause his cheek to ache, an uncomfortable throbbing pain following afterwards. He left his head tilted to the side, taking in the reality of what had happened. He just got slapped by a girl. Never in his life, he thought he would do something so outrageous that he would get slapped across the face. Guess he just broke his streak of not getting slapped by women.

"I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU, CAN'T YOU TELL?!" You withdrew your hands and slid onto the floor, full on sobbing as you hugged onto your body to gain warmth for yourself. All of the blood had rushed up to your head which explains why you could not feel your legs anymore, hence the position on the floor. You desperately hoped Rafayel would grab you right now, and hug you tight within his arms.

You heard hurried shuffles, sound of keys jangling and a soft thud next to you. Those noises not tending to your curiosity at all. "I am sorry." His reply was bland, numb even. A sentence for remorse, also a sentence for a goodbye. The doors closed behind you and you were left alone, a forlorn soul basked within the lights emitted from the romance show. Silent sobs overheard by the moon that was peeking in through the windows of your sky roof.

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆.

"Rafayel!" Thomas burst in the front doors, scurrying towards Rafayel's room at full speed after spotting the empty canvas sitting at the living room. Slamming the door that leads to Rafayel's room, the artist was sprawled out on the bed, his room so cold that Thomas could have just witnessed the North Pole without having to be there. The floor was surrounded in trash, papers crumpled up, pencils of all kinds used for sketching strewn across the floor. One may call it an organised mess, but Thomas calls this artist block.

"How long have you been in this room?!" Thomas shook Rafayel's shoulders to wake him up. "Your room is as cold as the cold storage that you use to store your seafood!" Thomas wasted no time in having to collect the pieces of papers and pencils on the floor, arranging them in his hand. "Why are you not done with---"

His nag came to a halt when Rafayel had sat up straight, back hunched over and eye bags the only colour present on his pale features. "What do you want?" Even his voice sounds hoarse, like a teen boy cycling through the age of puberty. "I do not wish to be disturbed."

"Your calls, as usual, went unanswered for the past few days so I helped myself by going over to ask y/n about your whereabouts because I thought you were staying with her pretty often these days." Placing the items onto the artist's white desk, Thomas turned to study his expression, his arms crossed over his chest.

"I know that look from somewhere." He squinted his eyes, studying him even further. "You had that same look when you caught your ex cheating on you that night." Thomas was referring to the girl that came before you. The one that had broke Rafayel's fragile heart. "Funny, now that I think of it, y/n's not doing any better than you."

Coming to realisation, the light bulb in Thomas' head flipped the switch. "Did anything happened to the both of you?"

"Did she asked anything about me?" Rafayel answered his question with another question. Eyes finally slanted upwards to face the manager of his. He just wanted to hear something, at least something to give him a reason to find her. He felt guilty, remorseful even for putting his burdens onto her. Leaving her all alone, drowning her in her own agony that day was the worse thing he could ever do to someone who had only ever been kind to him. And it took him three days to figure that out in his fish brain.

"No, she just asked me to hand you this." The older man reached into the pocket of his blazer, fishing a pink note out of his pocket and he handed it to Rafayel. The paper a little wrinkled, but the contents of it are a mark of your handwriting.

//𝐼 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝐼 𝓌𝒾𝓈𝒽 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓁𝓁 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝒾𝓃 𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒹𝒾𝓃��� 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝒶𝓈 𝐼 𝑜𝓃𝒸𝑒 𝒹𝒾𝒹.// Your cursive writing always a form of art to his eyes. A small, dainty note was all that takes for her to personally pass on the will to him. Rafayel stared at the note for a good minute, the wind coming out of the air-conditioner turning Thomas into a popsicle but filling the silence.

"I have to go." Rafayel uttered, hoisting himself out of the bed in one go and he threw on his dark pistachio green open collared shirt. The one you always quipped about how healthy his skin tone looks in it but with him constantly bantering that the green was a direct insult to his hair and eye colour. Just for this time, he would smother his ego, put on your favourite outfit, and head over to find you.

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆.

The keys he held onto, the same set of extra keys you had entrusted him with, slotted into the keyhole and turning it clockwise, a 'clack' could be heard and he opened the door with the twist of the copper-painted doorknob. The balcony's sliding door remained opened, the sheer white curtains danced to the rhythm of the wind. The lights in your house were dimly lit, providing Rafayel with just enough lighting to navigate himself towards your room.

At this timing, in the middle of the night, he tiptoed through your wooden floors, afraid even the smallest of creaks would give you the spooks. He twisted the doorknob to your door but it jammed halfway. Trying again, with a bit more exerted force this time, the door remained unbudgable. "Y/N...?" He called out for your name, using his knuckle to give a light knock on your door. "It's me Rafayel. Can we talk?"

He was met with a deafening silence. Of course you would not want him to be anywhere near you, be it to hear him apologise for his stupidity or for him to comfort you within his arms. He bet you could care less about him given the last stunt he had pulled on you. He grappled for his phone, pulling out of his pant's back pocket and he turned on the screen, the light on his phone screen puts the dim lightings to shame.

He scrolled through his phone book till he stopped at your name, a heart symbol edited in next to your name. It was not just a stunt for him to catch your attention, the heart emoji has always been there, but after you had taken him in and allowed him to stay with you for a couple of weeks, the heart started making more sense to him, but poor Rafayel couldn’t distinguish what is love and what is bare attraction. If he could get to talk to you this time, then maybe the heart would mean the world to him. Maybe, maybe this time, he will not mess his speech up and break your heart again.

The phone was set to dial mode and he pressed onto the green call button, ready to receive shoutings from the other side of the room. Your ringtone rang, the stupid song for the Toothless Meme played on rewind. Did you slept a bit too well maybe? He called again, and the same scenario happened.

His heart was hit with a sudden pang of fear. You had always been a light sleeper and noticing the obnoxiously loud ringtone not even waking you up for the slightest bit, he decided to take a step back and bust down the door with his shoulder. Luckily, just with one hard nudge of his broad shoulders, the door dislodged itself.

So does his heart. Your whole room was thrashed, filled with the pink notes that you had given to Thomas earlier. Some were torn, some were sheathed, some had scribbles all over it, all of the notes littered with handwritten notes beyond his comprehension. Rafayel watched you, held up vertically, legs far from touching the ground, a noose was the only thing connecting you towards the ceiling. "Y/N!" He ran up to you and grabbed you, his lanky legs kicking all of the notes out of his way. "Y/N!"

A short burst of flames from his fingers burnt the noose and you fell to the floor. Your face a shade match to the moon that was sitting outside. Rafayel's hands fumbled with his phone, calling the emergency hotline as soon as he could. Strings of curses coming out of his mouth afterwards when he asked for help to be deployed to your location as soon as possible.

While awaiting for the ambulance, Rafayel did CPR, or at least what he could remember from the lesson he had taken years ago. Pumping steadily to a rhythm, blowing air through your mouth to hopefully deliver air to your lungs. The sirens of the ambulances huddled outside of your condominium, the blue and red lights adding on a speck of neon to the monotonous night.

"Stay with me please. Please stay with me y/n." Rafayel held you in his arms, your ice cold skin prickled against his warmth. His tears fell down his cheeks and continued its trail down your already tear-stricken face. He never thought his ruse would cause you this much damage. He thought that you could be the end to his delirium, and the start to his new reality.

The paramedics that arrived on the scene stood aimlessly at the door frame, watching the broken man in front of them, amidst the thrashed room, holding onto a lifeless body of a woman who seemingly cried herself to death.

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆.

Angsty af, this piece is part and partial of my experience as I had once struggled with my mental health before, and it was also due to a shitty ex. But I am doing much better now, and writing this brings back those shitty feels that I used to have, but also reminded me of how much more happier and stronger I am now, and that I am not choosing death because of my ex! :)

But if any of you, do have issues with mental health, please do seek for reliable help. As cliche as it sounds, life is not at all bad if you have people that are supportive of your recovery journey. If you needed someone to rant to, my dms are always open <3.

I do not wish harm for any of my readers, and I want you guys to know that just as much as ur supporting my works, I want to be there to support you if you have any hardships in life as well. Just know that you are loved, and I love you <3.

Sincerely, Brails.

And there it is again: In the first episode of Love in the Air, our young hero's buddy compliments him by saying he's handsome, that he "looks like Korean actor."

I've caught just enough of these references in my first year of BL viewing to realize that it's "a thing": Korea is the gold standard of ... something ... to other SE Asians ? Do I have that right ? If so, the ideal of what, exactly ?

Astro’s Eunwoo is generally considered/discussed as the perfect example of Korean masculine beauty. 

10 Korean Male Beauty Ideals

The checklist of Korean masculine beauty standards (as of 2022) is as follows: 

over 183cm (6″+) 

slim/skinny build but toned body (we talking swimmer over bodybuilder) 

a “small face” 

pale skin 

dark defined eyebrows

a smaller mouth

high cheekbones

v shaped or sharp jaw line 

double eyelids & bigger eyes 

high nose bridge 

Plastic surgery is often utilized to attain the final three in particular.* 

Add to the above the global procreative breeding standards for “healthy” masculinity such as: symmetry in face and form, broad shoulders, clear skin. 

SF9′s Rowoon is a great example of an idol successfully transitioning to leading man. He meets all 10 standards and is v tall at 190.5 or about 6″3. 

A Bit About Idols & Beauty Standards 

The visual of the idol group is (usually) the one who meets the most of the above checklist + photographs particularly well. As opposed to the center who is usually the best allrounder and/or most charismatic performer. Ironically the face of a group is usually the best representative in terms of communication and popularity style (handling fans + the press). But idols can/do hold more than one position in a group. 

Position distinctions are becoming less popular in 4th gen Kpop groups. While position assignments, including those based explicitly on Korean beauty standards, were pretty much expected of 3rd gen group formation. 

Idols “visual” judgement tends to be decided upon and called via the same standards as above checklist, but they are permitted to be more androgynous by branding than if they were leading man Kdrama actors.

That said, idols tend to transition to acting if they can meet more of the above named standards (and want to act, of course), specifically height. They will probably never get to play leading men if they don’t meet the height standard so that’s usually the biggest hurdle (pun intended) - except for if they do BL. Of course, there are exceptions if the idol is an extremely good actor or very very famous. My bias, Jinyoung, is short to be an actor, for example. He still gets rolls but it will always be harder for him to play a grown up leading man in a romance Kdrama than someone like Rowoon or Eunwoo.  

GOT7′s Jinyoung in Devil Judge 

How Does this Work Outside of Korea? 

Hallyu has had a profound effect on taste not just in other parts of Asia, but globally. But you asked about Asia.

Here’s a very good YT vid on the subject which basically is focused on women and China, but still addresses why Asian Beauty standards are the way they are culturally & historically. 

So when an Asian country (particularly in the south) calls a character “handsome like a Korean actor” that is code for particularly distinguishing the character as handsome by virtue of his “non local” features: like paleness and tallness. (Thailand also does this with reference to western beauty standards. Both Dean in UWMA and Tharn in TharnType are commented on/called out for/self identify as being handsome due in part to their “foreign” features, but the Thai word used is slang for a “foreigner of European decent.”) 

TharnType 2

Because of the popularity of both Kdramas and Kpop, Korean beauty standards are coming to dominate taste at least amongst specific age brackets of consumers/watchers and in countries where Kdramas and Kpop are particularly popular. In these case, the 10 point check list above comes into play when you get a comment like the ones we see in Thai BL. 

That said, Chinese beauty standards (somewhat different) are also in play in the culture itself (for primarily socio-political and historical reasons, so more prevalent amongst older generations, and places that were occupied by China or have intimate social-political relations with it, like Taiwan), as well as western standards (blame colonialism, Hollywood, and the fashion industry). Taiwan is an interesting case since it has intimate ties on all levels with China, Japan, S Korean, and the west, so their beauty standards are particularly varied. 

Japanese beauty standards (which used to dominate many parts of Asian because they cornered the market on music initially *waves at 90s Jpop* as well as manga, animation, cinema, and porn prior to Hallyu not to mention the whole, ya know, empire thing) have experienced significant pushback in the last 20 years, particularly from Korea. That said, their standards still hold pretty strongly within Japan (of course). They are a lot less formal and proscriptive. But, loosely, Japan tends to like a softer face shape, heavier jaw, and wider mouth and be less concerned about extreme tallness. They do love big eyes though. NCT’s Yuta is a pretty good example of one type of Japanese masculine beauty standard. But Japan has more than one. Remember the culture concept of kawaii is in play. Aka men are also allowed to be cute as a form of sexiness. 

Old Fashion Cupcake 

* Yes, I am well aware this is a terrible unachievable bullshit. I am answering the question not making a judgement call. 

Finally: 

Like most beauty standards, these are the result of classism, racism, and colonial occupational history. Not to mention trends, styles, permissive fetishization, gender binary, infantilization, and core linguistic symbolism and syntax around the meaning of worlds used to define and talk about beauty. 

I’m discussing this shizz from a cultural anth and pop culture analysts perspective. Don’t come at me in the comments because you possess the sadly ubiquitous inability to critically think about your own cultural biases and how these might impact your consumption of a different culture’s pop product. My patience is wearing thin and my ban hammer is immediate these days.

Appearance

Moriko is a tall brown-skinned woman with a toned build. She has long, curly brown hair that reaches her back, with yellow at the tips; it’s normally put up in a ponytail. Her bangs are swept to her right, framing her green eyes. On her neck she’s wearing a black choker with a cream-colored flower.

She wears a pale yellow cardigan that has flowers and butterfly patterns on it, and a white sleeveless kimono top with black lining and a slit on its side. On her waist is a dark brown strap for her katana. Her sweatpants are dark red and she wears white sneakers. She also wears black gloves with gold lining.

Personality

The most accurate way to describe Moriko is cheerful. She’s the typical genki girl: usually smiling, kind, and energetic. She always wears her heart on her sleeve. It kind of makes other civilians uncomfortable around her though because she keeps talking even if they want to be left alone, so it feels like she doesn’t know how to read the room.

Moriko’s also quite rebellious, often breaking rules if she doesn’t find them necessary or doing things her own way if she doesn’t like the way someone else does it. She’s been restricted for most of her life, let her be free for a bit~ Granted she’s gotten into trouble for being like this but who cares!

Despite her friendliness, she absolutely loves the thought of fighting if it means she gets to have fun. Whether it be physically or with a microphone, Moriko absolutely loves a challenge and enjoys the thrill, which is why she joined the DRB with Koyumi. Most of the time she doesn’t really take it as an actual competition though, she sees it as a “friendly battle” and hopes to be friends with the “enemy” afterwards like what happens in some animes. It’s not her being stupid or naive, she just has a lot of hope for people. It’s hard to get her to truly hate someone.

Hypnosis Mic

Her microphone is a long and golden circle microphone. In the middle of the circle is a five-pointed star with a yellow speaker.

Her speakers take the form of a golden astrolabe in the sky, acting as the sun. Surrounding her is a bamboo forest.

Her rap ability is Sunlight, which makes her speaker flash a bright light on the entire area for a few seconds to blind her opponent(s) and make them bypass their turn. On the other side, it heals her team. She can only use this ability two times in each battle however.

Trivia

Yes, the katana’s real.

Moriko is ambidextrous, but leans towards using her left hand.

Her birthday is a reference to Joshua 10-12, ‘The Sun Stands Still’.

Her MC name is the name of the star associated with Chaxiraxi, a goddess often known as the Sun Mother.

Her quote is from Louisa May Alcott; the full quote is “Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."

Moriko is very popular with the gyaru community.

Unsurprisingly, Moriko’s a gamer. She even has a Youtube channel where she plays a lot of fighting and horror games like the Mortal Kombat series, Street Fighter, Samurai Shodown, etc.

Moriko already has a whole list of lore for the worlds and characters of her manga idea. She can ramble about it for hours, please talk to her about this. No this is absolutely not me self-projecting.

She’s the main driver in the team, owning both a car and a motorcycle. She’s gotten into a lot of car chases though, which has destroyed property so she needs to apologize and pay for things often.

Aria + Her Personalities with NCT Units

Aria + 127 = ‘Maknae on Top’ Aria

aria runs this unit

not literally, but definitely figuratively

the boys will do literally anything for her if she was to ask them 

lowkey its cute

it’s not like she abuses this power though

... not often

but it’s entertaining to see it happen once in a while

for the most part, aria is pretty well put together

this is in part, due to the fact that 127 was the first unit aria debuted with

and was therefore given a certain set of parameters to act within

but also partly due to the fact that aria just doesn’t like needing help 

the boys try to respect that as much as possible

while also maintaining some level of supervision over her because aria’s also the type of person to never ask for help, even when she does need it

it’s rare to see them coddle her though

especially on camera

yes they look out for her and take care of her to the best of their ability

but they leave her to her own devices the majority of the time and just observe from a distance

aria likes being independent she don’t need no man

however occasionally

on rare occasions

cannot stress the rare enough really

you’ll get to see the softer side of aria with 127

this aris is the one that goes looking for someone’s attention and affection

not that she needs to work hard to get it, there are eight (8) men here fully capable and willing to offer exactly that

normally this really only happens when she’s sleepy and/or sick

for example

in the BKLYN BOYS vlogs when they were all getting ready to go to sleep

aria just

popped herself in between mark and yuta on the bed

and snuggled into the warm covers on the bed knowing full well that yuta would cuddle her immediately after she stopped moving 

and then went to sleep

she slept through that entire segment actually 

just smooshed in between the two boys and curled into a little ball around yuta’s arm that she’d hugged to her chest and refused to let go of

jungwoo kept shushing the others when they got too loud

now a sick aria

is the poutiest baby you will ever find

she’s miserable and she wants someone to hold her

that is all

this is the sole occasion that she will not vehemently protest taeyong or doyoung’s coddling 

and johnny usually pops in every few hours or so to make sure she’s feeling alright

jaehyun stays away from her room for the most part

but he’s the person to secretly sneak in strawberry milk to her under the guise of a new blanket

tldr: aria is an independent woman who occasionally needs love and reassurance and affection from her older brothers.

Aria + Dream = ‘132 Hertz’ Aria

aria is here to heal your heart

happy and positive vibes only, you are not permitted to be sad around her

aria in dream is the equivalent to one of those uber-happy antidepressant 

but this is one that actually works

*poof* no more sad ~

as opposed to the cooler and more capable image she projects when she’s with 127

aria with dream is much softer around the edges

it’s not just the concepts that give that impression, although the stark contrast between the futuristic plastic skirts and the baby pink sweaters really makes for a bit of whiplash

the vibe is totally different with dream because they’re all so close in age

it’s less of a older brother/younger sister relationship

and more of a rag-tag group of best friends who just happen to make music together

 aria doesn’t have to focus as much on trying to maintain a certain image for the media 

because the other boys helped her shape a more fluid one

when aria’s with dream, you can tell that she’s comfortable, and that the boys are as close with her as they are with each other 

dream is her home, it’s an indisputable fact 

aria gives off intense girl next door vibes with them 

very smiley, very happy

she doesn’t get doted on when she’s with dream - she gets the same treatment as the rest of them, and that involves relentless and unforgiving teasing over events that happened years ago  

there’s a very set role that comes with being the maknae

and being a girl on top of that only put more restrictions on what she could and couldn’t do

with dream those restrictions were lessoned a great deal

the fact that she’s not the ‘baby’ of the group meant that she was given the space to really grow as a person and show off different sides of her character

she got to show that she was a reliable person as well as a cute one

someone who was dependable, and someone that the members came to when they needed emotional support

aria really likes taking care of other people, and she’s given the chance to with dream 

one can see it in the way that she watched chenle out of the corner of her eye after she had slid on a slippery part of the stage - and stuck out a hand to make sure that he didn’t make the same mistake

the way that she was the first to notice that renjun had slipped away from the microphone with damp eyes when dream had won their first award

she’s no parent to the boys 

and they’re no parent to her

but the dreamies look out for their own.

growing up together through teenage years is hard, and arguments are unavoidable 

but aria’s not the type of person to back down from a fight 

normally she tries to be the mediator

but if she gets dragged in, then all bets are off

renjun picked a fight with her once

it was over the smallest thing in the world, completely insignificant

but the entire group was running on less than sufficient sleep

renjun snapped, and turned his anger on aria

who in turn, started yelling back

it wasn’t malicious (anyone could tell that)

it was just two teenagers who were overworked and overtired and frustrated at the same thing that they couldn’t yell at

so they were yelling at each other instead

aria slept in the 127 dorms that night

but come morning, they had both apologized

if there is anything that aria hates more than fighting, it’s holding a grudge

tldr: aria’s someone with layers, someone who is funny and bubbly but is strong and sometimes stubborn, but ultimately wants to be there for her boys the way they are for her.

Aria + WayV = ‘The Neighbour’s Kid’ Aria

aria’s been adopted into wayv

that’s not up for debate

you can ask kun for the papers

but her personality so to speak really depends on who it is from the group that she’s interacting with

because she’s not a part of this sub-unit 

it means that the only people she has real interactions with are those that are also in her own sub-units

namely ten and lucas, but previously sicheng as well

with lucas and sicheng, aria’s a lot rougher around the edges 

the boys are like older brothers to her, so she’s used to a little rough-housing when it comes to them 

affectionate verbal abuse? 

lets go with that

whereas with ten

she’s coddled within an inch of her life

ten is the Only member who is allowed treat her like a baby

and the only reason is because he was so insistent, that aria just eventually gave up protesting it 

when aria’s with yangyang

she finds that she tends to act more her own age

with her position in the group and subsequently the industry as a whole

its easy to forget that she is still a newly turned 20 year old 

someone who’s meant to still be acting like a teenager sometimes

who’s still meant to be finding her alcohol tolerance in crappy bars 

who does stupid things but makes the best memories out of them

with yangyang, aria does a lot of those stupid things

and get in trouble for it afterwards

impulse control gone out the window 

she lets herself be a little more free and lets the reigns go lax for a while

sometimes its nice just to sit back and experience life for a bit 

when it comes to kunhang and dejun

they would be the members that she’s least close with

so although they’re not strangers, things are still kept a little bit more on the professional side

as most of their interactions happen while they’re ‘on duty’ so to speak 

the boys as a unit really go out of their way to make sure that she’s comfortable 

especially kun

he doesn’t baby her like ten does she’d never appreciate it

but he does care for her a great deal 

aria’s very honest around kun

she doesn’t like beating around the bush anyway

but with kun it’s like she can’t lie 

even if she wanted to 

tldr: aria’s like the neighbour’s kid. she’s in their house a lot and they’re not really sure why? but they’re happy she’s there and sad when she has to leave again.

Aria + SuperM = ‘Favourite Child’ Aria

maknae aria taking her final form

she’s evolving 

it’s 127 aria but on steriods

 because taemin called her cute in their first practice

and she ran with it

in awe at the fact that these men haven’t died yet

she’s so? cuddly? and just unlike any aria that nctzens are used to?

jungwoo taught her how to do aegyo 

and aria levelled up from a level 2 to a level 93 in a week

now with superm

aria gets babied and she gets babied hardcore

its pretty unavoidable when your oldest member has eight years on her

and calls her 183cm tall best friend ‘adorable’

so its no wonder she’s the baby of the team

she likes it though

more than she thought she would 

jongin has absolutely zero qualms with picking aria up at random points in time

and just giving her a piggyback 

aria spent 50% of mtopia walking, and the other 50% being carried by jongin

its like how a kid would fawn over a puppy

no matter what she does its, ‘아 귀여~’

seriously save her

at first the change in dynamic unsettled her quite a bit

she wasn’t used to literally having zero responsibility in a group 

but suddenly when it came to superm 

aria was having things taken care of for her - not because they thought she wasn’t capable of doing them herselves

but because they were taking care of her

aria had to grow into that mold so to speak 

it wasn’t something that was forced - the dynamic did develop naturally over time 

aria was stubborn in the fact that she wanted to prove that she deserved her spot on this team just like everyone else

she didn’t need to prove it to anyone besides herself, as baekhyun later explained to her

but slowly, aria became more comfortable with looking to the older members for help instead of struggling on her own

the first time aria really understood that the guys were really just looking out for her, was in their first few months of practice together

they were eating in one of the practice rooms together, sitting on the floor

when taemin leaned over to take the egg from on top of his rice to put on top of aria’s instead

 aria had looked up, surprised, and taemin had shrugged 

“you haven’t eaten yet today, right?” he offered by way of explanation

it was true, aria hadn’t eaten that day, but she hadn’t expected taemin to notice

she hadn’t expected anyone to notice actually, given that it was a dream schedule that she was coming from, and mark had graduated the year previous

aria had blinked twice, before smiling awkwardly, nodding a small thanks

tldr: aria is precious and deserves to be treated as such.

retail's awful... right?

the part-time job series! <- part 1 | part 3 ->

playable characters: kunimi akira

description: a quick trip to the department store should have resulted in less bruises and falling boxes

genre: adventure (fluff)

length: 650ish words

rated E for mild clumsiness

code comments: kunimi's over 180cm, and the worldwide averages for height are below that, so that's what I'm working off of. If you're taller than 183cm, woah, give me your height

The high ceiling holding the harsh lights to illuminate the aisles wasn’t directing the right way at all. It really should’ve just been a quick trip to the department store, but this errand was proving to be more of a hassle than you thought. Maybe it would’ve been easier to find the vacuum if the store just had a section labeled “Housewarming Gifts”, complete with a neon sign. Maybe then you’d find a better present for your cousin.

You weren’t completely sold on the idea of getting your older cousin a vacuum to celebrate them moving into their own place. The other people you were going to visit them with insisted that everyone needs a vacuum, but you liked the idea of a nice cutting board, or a set of knives, or maybe some plates… well, anything but a vacuum really. Still, you searched through the store, passing the soulless husk of a tired retail employee until you finally spotted a small version on a high shelf near the back.

A quick look around confirmed the only employee around was staring at their phone and heading into the back, and the stepladder an aisle over had a sign proclaiming Employees Only on it. Bothering one of the intimidating people working for one small thing wasn’t ideal. They all seemed pretty busy, aside from that one taller guy who put in some earbuds but they went into the back. The shelf wasn’t that high, you could probably reach it on your own anyway.

A moment later you were looking up at said guy from the floor, boxes strewn across the linoleum. Okay, so maybe you should’ve asked an employee for help. The employee brushed his hair out of his face, sighing, and started putting the vacuums back on the shelf. You wordlessly got up from the floor and handed him the boxes, letting his longer arms and legs do what you clearly failed to do moments before. If you had a couple of extra centimeters you would’ve been fine.

He turned to you, giving you a chance to look at his nametag. Kunimi.

“You didn’t get hurt, did you?”

“No, I’m fine.”

The forming bruise on your arm said otherwise, but you weren’t about to bring it up after you just caused a huge mess. You felt bad enough about having him clean it up. 

“You should ask someone to help, you could've been a lot worse off," he said.

“Next time I’ll borrow that ladder,” you told him, as he grabbed one of the vacuums and started walking with you to a register.

“Oh no, now that’s a bad idea. The floor manager would get irritated and insist on helping you personally while glaring at me for not assisting you sooner,” Kunimi said, almost laughing awkwardly at the thought.

“In that case, I’ll just come to you then.”

“A good reason to talk, right? You’re one of the more interesting people I’ve met working this job, and that’s saying something. One guy had a ferret in his pocket.”

“A what?”

“Yeah, you heard me. A ferret.”

Kunimi walked behind the counter of an empty register and started up the system. Placing the box on the scanner, he looked at you as you snagged a snack item from a nearby rack. He quickly scanned that too and waited for the receipt to print after you paid while you picked up the vacuum and tucked the snack into your pocket. Tucking the receipt between the box and your hand, he waved to you when you left the store.

Once your hands were free and you finally had a chance to toss out the receipt, you noticed blue ink scribbles at the bottom. A closer examination revealed the scribbles were actually messy words.

I don’t normally work the register, but I’ll make another exception if you come back :) xxx-xxxx

gender: Female

star sign: Virgo Sun || Leo Moon || Leo Ascendent, which basically means I have the usually quiet reserved personality of an analytical, organised virgo on the fact of things, am usually the goofy, chill friend amongst my friends, and don’t like to take anyone’s shit, but if I am disrespected, I’m a sensitive six foot flower and withdraw from the world until I can get over it. xD I don’t like conflict.

height: 183cm/6 feet 

age: 27 (YIKES XD)

wallpaper on my phone: (I had to check XD) A calendar of May 2020 stylistically arranged around ribbons

house: Slytherin

ever crush on a teacher: Both my parents and my uncle are teachers and consequently I knew every teacher in my school as actual human people and not ‘crushes’ growing up. So no. XD

coolest halloween costume: I went as the Starbucks logo one year when I was eight, a gigantic Lady Luck die one year with a top hat covered in poker chips and cards. I had some good ones I made: I was creative as fuck when I was 9-11 especially, and I had to be, because I was already around 5′7 and people assumed I was just some weirdo dressing up to get candy (Hearing ‘AREN’T YOU A LITTLE OLD TO BE TRICK OR TREATING’ at eleven CRUSHED me XD)

Favorite 90s tv show: 

Okay. So there’s one’s I watched actually as a child of the 90s, and ones that were just always ON in the 90s that I ended up watching. It’s debatable whether these are actually good NOW. XD

That being said, the background ones were Saved By the Bell (ZACH MORRIS IS TRAAAAassssh~~), Boy Meets World, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond.

As a kid, I loved the Aladdin Animated Series, The Hercules Animated Series, CHIP AND DALE RESCUE RANGERS (Which didn’t really hold up sadly but still has the best theme song of all time, fight me), and Timon and Pumbaa.

One I rarely caught but really liked was All That, The Wonder Years, Sabrina the Teenage Witch- occasionally Fresh Prince.

Out of all of these, I still have a super fond spot for Saved By the Bell, especially with the ‘Zach Morris is Trash’ series on Youtube (Seriously, go watch it. It’s fucking hilarious and basically breaks down how much of a serial killer in the making Zach Morris is XD). The clothing is ridiculous and no one really dressed like that in the early 90s outside of commercials and TV (unfortunately). Maybe one shoddy item out of the bunch. Meanwhile Saved by the Bell is like LETS PUT IT ALL ON. XD It was terrible once they got to college, but it was stupid and fun and made me feel ‘cool’ watching it because I was like three and being like, “YEAH, IT’S BRIGHT AND THESE PEOPLE ARE COOL AND I CAN FOLLOW THE PLOT. I’M MATURE.” XD It’s literally still the only one of these I actively watch now in the form of Zach Morris is Trash, so I’ll go with it. xD

Last kiss: Never had a consensual kiss. Make of that what you will. xD

Have you ever been stood up: Nope.

Favourite pair of shoes: 

I have terrible plantar fasciitis from sports, so I’m a shoe snob, and have to have properly fitting/constructed shoes. It depends on what I’m doing in them, really. I got a pair of trail running shoes for trail running during COVID, but they’re not the most aesthetically pleasing. I’d say the best mixture between comfort and style are either a good ol’pair of black ankle boots with a slight heel (so I can be 6′2 and intimidate people with my height muhahahaha), or more practically on a day to day basis, I have a pair of Reeboks that are 90s-styled with pastel pink and blue triangles on the side. They’re pretty dope. xD

have you ever been to vegas: No, but my parents have. Basically, they said you tire of shopping after two days, and then you’re just stuck inside hotels and shopping malls there. If you’re not a gambler, drinker, or have a ton of money to splash out on stage shows, I don’t think it’s particularly worth going.

favorite fruit: Mango or raspberry, but they’re super-expensive in the land of Maple Syrup so I usually don’t get them any other way other than frozen in smoothies.

Favourite book:

 I could never choose a favourite book. It’s literally like choosing between children. It’s my microcosmic version of Sophie’s Choice. xD Tasteless joke aside, it’d honestly depend on the occasion. There’s a huge difference between entertainment reading, literary exploits, and educating yourself through books as a whole. 

My ‘plane’ book (which I’m terrible at flying, so that was a joke), as in, an easy, fun, instantly rereadable read to read on the plane when I used to have super long fifteen hour flights to Australia, was always Mario Puzo’s ‘The Godfather,’ because I also had a huge crush on Michael Corleone. 

But it’s also not the ‘best’ book and literally spends an inordinate and honestly disturbing amount of time on the fact that this poor woman in the story (which thankfully in the film, it gets cut down), but the bridesmaid Sonny Corleone has sex with, and how you see his wife indicating his ‘size’?

THAT’S LITERALLY AN ENTIRE SUBPLOT OF THIS BROAD’S STORY I SHIT YOU NOT BECAUSE NOTHING IS ‘BIG’ ENOUGH FOR HER AFTER HIM AND THEN YOU FIND OUT SHE HAS A MEDICAL CONDITION AND GOOD FOR HER SHE’S ABLE TO FIND LOVE AGAIN BUT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MARIO PUZO XD IT WAS A LOT OKAY.

(Footnote: I also suffered through his horrific sequels because I love Michael Corleone and will take him in any form he comes in, even horrifically written Sicilian backhill exploits that were never told to us in the original book and were clearly just written because Puzo needed another pay check but I digress.)

Horrific subplots aside, I really enjoy The Godfather for its sheer pulpiness. The book is essentially what Andrew Lloyd Weber is to musicals. xD (Yes, I come with musical theatre burns. Fight me.)

In terms of a piece of literature that I think is amazingly well done? Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, or Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Stupidest thing you ever done: 

Um, maybe when I was at Cambridge I tried to dye my roots to match the rest of my ‘blonde’ hair at the time, and it turned out bright orange? And because it’s Cambridge, they had this super-strict attendance policy, so I was literally trying not to hyperventilate because it was running close to class (which was across campus) and I was trying to find some way to remedy my hair without it falling out/ someone asking about it. So, I grabbed a toque-cap-thing despite it being literally one of the hottest summer on record in the UK (It was like 35 degrees, it was MENTAL), and had to sprint to class all the way on the other side of campus from my college dodging dodgy tourist groups blocking the sidewalk while I went. Then when I sat down inside, I had to be weirdly rude and wear my hat inside the lecture hall even though the professor was looking at me (it was a specialised program in German Literature) like, “Are you going to take that shit off?” xD THEN I tried to dye it back to brown, and it literally looked like mud mixed with a runny egg had exploded on the top of my head; it was AWFUL. XD So FINALLY I did my research and found a salon, but by THAT point I had done 250 pounds worth of damage to my hair (WHICH IS LIKE 400 DOLLARS CANADIAN AT THE TIME), and I almost had a heart attack and thanked my lucky stars that I had money put away so I could give my parents the ‘parent price’ when they asked why they hadn’t seen me on FaceTime or Skype for like, three weeks, and I replaced my face with a photo of John Cleese from Fawlty Towers, which they tease me about to this day. xD

The other dumbest thing I ever said was when I was so desperate for friends in grade six when I moved to a new school (and because being American was ‘cool’ at the time, apparently), I told everyone I was a dual citizen because my mother LITERALLY GAVE BIRTH TO ME ON THE BORDER CROSSING WHAT. XD And bless this poor bespectacled girl named Mara (who was actually a little class friend of mine), who just said timidly in the back, “That’s not how citizenship works.” xD It basically came out of attempting to be cool and failing, but I’m still SO embarrassed about THAT one that I’d never admit it to ANYONE besides shouting it out into the Tumblr black hole. xD I’m still embarrassed to THIS DAY.

All time favorite shows: 

 I’ll go for the original run of The Twilight Zone, which has some schmaltzy episodes (I’m really not a fan of any of the episodes entirely dedicated to the Space Race or the weird cowboy fanaticism of the fifties/ sixties, or anything that’s overtly like “ALIENS DID IT SO THERE”), but I LOVE their psychological horror episodes or Dystopian episodes. It’s when Rod Serling’s writing and narrative voice is the strongest and most prophetic, and the twists are usually the best. Other shows have tries to imitate it, or reboot it, but I really think the original, due to Rod Serling’s unmatchable voice, in every sense of the word. There’s lists of some of the greatest episodes, but I remember LOVING the episode ‘A Stop at Willoughby.’ The twist literally made me clap my hands in horror and delight, it was amazing. xD

Other than that? Off the top of my head, Mad Men and Band of Brothers, even though I haven’t rewatched either in ages.

last movie you saw in theaters: 

Oh God, before all THIS hit? Probably Rise of Skywalker. I get agoraphobic and itchy if a movie theatre is too busy, and we only have really pokey sort of ones nearby that you’re guaranteed to see someone you went to high school with (terrible), so now that I can properly drive I go out to the big redneck theatre out in the boonies. I miss living in Montreal though, because when you live in a big city like that downtown (and can actually afford to live there), you could see blockbuster movies at like ten in the morning. xD Which would be AMAZING because I’d go to see any of the early Avengers/Marvel movies when they opened, the day of opening, and it was literally me, one old man who fell asleep halfway through and sat near the back, and maybe an elderly couple on a morning date to the movies. xD I get really annoyed with obnoxious movie-goers, and I’m really picky about just being completely absorbed in the movie, so I tend not to go unless I’m guaranteed that space.

We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:

                                Oh Sehun, who is known by no other name;                                                     a 25 year old son of Nyx.                           He is the front-end clerk and security at Sombra Muerte.

FC NAME/GROUP: Oh Sehun/Exo CHARACTER NAME: Sehun AGE/DATE OF BIRTH: 25 / April 12th, 1994 PLACE OF BIRTH: Seoul, South Korea OCCUPATION: Front-end clerk (cover) and Security at Sombra Muerte HEIGHT: 183cm, 6’0 DEFINING FEATURES: He has some tattoos, and has kept his hair both conventional and non-conventional colors. His eyes have also been known to be memorable, carrying the same dispassionate gaze of his mother.

PERSONALITY: Sehun is, by most accounts, quiet with a tendency to be reserved, the type to escape most notice. These traits should not be mistaken as shy, because he’s actually quite strong-willed and sure of himself. His mind is forever calculative and his thoughts run deep, deeper than even those closest to him could guess. He places heavy emphasis on loyalty in his companions, proving to be a dependable ally himself, but he will not hesitate to render ties should he feel betrayed. Sehun dislikes chaos and disorder in all of its forms, from loud surroundings to behavior he deems senseless, but he possesses great patience that is both natural and hard-earned. If he truly desires, Sehun can become extremely difficult to read, as expressionless as quiet water.

He respects and loves his goddess mother, and he has a history of getting into fights on a few occasions with those who dare to tarnish her name despite not being prone to anger and violence otherwise. He just barely tolerates his half sisters, the Keres, withstanding their mocking of him and troublemaking. Through this is where his nearly legendary patience has been fostered.

HISTORY: The piano played on, the only sound against the oppressive silence.

A young Sehun sat on the bench, his trained and nimble fingers dancing along keys made of ivory. Around him, evidence of wealth could be found everywhere, from the numerous expensive paintings that lined the walls to the sheer size of the home. While some would have killed for his life, Sehun did not relish in it; indeed, he felt as if none of it actually belonged to him. What many would have seen as a paradise was to him merely a gilded cage. The only real company he had were his nannies and the piano, and even then, it was often just the instrument that gave him any solace.

———

He and his father were never particularly close, and the few times he wasn’t left alone, he was treated with thinly veiled contempt. Contempt for perceived wrongs that Sehun couldn’t have possibly caused himself, but was blamed for nevertheless. Before Sehun’s birth, his father, a rich man born into a clan of successful business people, had been wandering the gardens of his estate to clear his mind one night. He came across a woman admiring his flowers. To his eyes, there had never been a more beautiful woman in existence. The moonlight seemed to glow on her skin, the stars, he swore, danced in her eyes. When she smiled, it was as if it were a secret meant for his eyes only. He fell in love that night with the stranger in his garden, and she, it seemed, returned his feelings.

It was a disappointment to him, then, when the dark and beautiful lady vanished as softly as she had arrived. From the day after their initial meeting to months afterward, he sat in his garden and waited for a second meeting that would never happen. Instead, under the light of the moon, he found a baby boy nestled in an impeccable basket. A note offered apology and pleaded for the baby to be looked after and protected until it was his time. “When our son is ready,” it said, ��he will know and he will choose.”

Sehun’s father took him into his affluent life, but harbored no real love for the boy. Sehun grew up with access to top notch education, but at his own personal expense of sitting alone in a huge, empty house. Years he spent in solitude, until he grew and his powers began to manifest themselves. At first, he found himself inexplicably drawn to the nighttime. He had trouble going to bed at a reasonable hour, and he preferred dozing during the day, much to the annoyance of his nannies and tutors. At school, he was regarded as an outcast and liked to just seemingly vanish, especially during the hours of the day where the shadows grew long. What was a mystery to his peers was, to Sehun, an escape. Through the shadows he could go anywhere he wanted, and he could be by himself. His father, once he heard of Sehun allegedly skipping out of classes, berated him and told him that if he couldn’t at least sit through school, he would never amount to anything. The words were meaningless and arrived too late; Sehun had his own reality, with little use for the reality of others.

By the time he was around twelve, Sehun was receiving strange dreams at least once a week. In them, he would sit in a garden bathed in moonlight, where a woman shrouded in a black cloak embedded with thousands of stars would greet him and sit beside him on the bench. Together, they would listen to the nightly sounds, and finally, when she spoke, she told him that he had a choice. It was just a matter of waiting, of growing, and then they could meet. He could leave this life behind him if he chose, and once he was eighteen, that was precisely what he did. Through his strange, prophetic dreams, his godly mother lead him to Mount Phoenix. Left behind for his father was a note from Sehun that thanked his father for raising him, with the possibility of reuniting someday long off if the urge came to the two men. With that, Sehun traveled to Mount Phoenix and began his new life among others who understood what he went through. There, he built a relationship with Nyx, his mother, and found work that suited his unique talents. For now, he was home. For now, he was satisfied.

PANTHEON: Greek CHILD OF: Nyx POWERS: Sehun can manipulate shadows by creating them and shaping them to his will. If he concentrates, he can manipulate the shadows to work as a shield at the expense of energy for as long as his shield remains. He can use shadows as a teleportation device, and has experienced the prophetic dreams that children of Nyx have been said to receive. Currently, his shields are weak, and his prophetic dreams are short and often difficult to interpret. His specialty is traveling via shadow.

STRENGTHS:

Generally polite and well-mannered.

Intelligent and thoughtful; strong problem solving skills.

Strong intuition; perceptive and observant.

WEAKNESSES:

He’s set in his ways and finds it hard to permit himself to change.

Can give off the impression of being distant and non-approachable.

A tendency to give unfiltered, blunt criticism may turn others away.

Muse

Name: V Born: May 1st, 2019 (V) || Matches to Nero (Valdis) Age, V: Late 30s mentally (From suppression as Nelo Angelo.) Age, Valdis: Matches to Nero. Height, V: 6′3″ / 191cm (V) Height, Valdis: 5′10″ / 177cm (Teenager) || 6′0″ / 183cm (Adult) Weight, V: Very Lean: 60 kg / 132lb Weight, Valdis, Teenager: Very Lean: 50 kg / 110lb Weight, Valdis, Adult: Very Lean: 58 kg / 128lb (Adult) Species: Human (V) || Cambion Hybrid (Valdis)

Family:

Sparda (Father, as Vergil. Deceased.)

Eva (Mother, as Vergil. Deceased.)

Dante (Brother, as Vergil.)

Nero (Son, as Vergil. Brother, As Valdis.)

Bio: (Main Verse)

Follows the canonical events up until the end of DMC 5 Mission 17. From there, V’s story differs down different paths.

V first appears as a new client of Dante's, offering him a lead on the demon Hunter’s brother, claiming Vergil is the demon Urizen. The truth turns out to be more complicated as both V and Urizen embody half of the Hybrid’s soul.

Urizen, the unbounded extent of his corruption, and V, the remnants of his humanity and remorse. While Vergil had intended the separation to be final, his end, V in realizing the gravity of his actions sets out to put a stop to his other half’s plans. 

In confronting Urizen, V was unsure what would happen when he drove his cane into the other, but whatever process was interrupted by Dante. Partially recombined with Vergil and now wrestling the duality of his existence, V wanders a new path of Symmetry and Recompense.

Long Versions: Background / Deviations (Additional helpful reading on some of V’s/Vergil’s motivations I use.) 

Familiars:

While V is the main muse of this blog, due to the nature of his attachment with his familiars I will include them within his writing where needed, unless they are my RP partner’s muse.  

How I refer to the familiars by default: Griffon (he/him) Shadow (she/her) Nightmare (they/them/it)

Appearance:

Main & Multi Verse, After the Qliphoth’s destruction:

Slight of build yet tall with dark green eyes and jaw-lengh silvery-white hair tainted black by the contract of his familiars. It’s parted slightly on his left-hand side, with large bangs occasionally obscuring part of his face. His torso, arms and hands are tattooed in intricate patterns, another mark of his demonic ties.

After the Qliphoth incident V would seek to emulate his former styling, returning to favouring blues with gold embellishments, however still matching in design with his separate identity as V. It is a sleeveless leather coat that reaches his knees and laces up in the front.

He wears a pair of skinny-fit jeans, matching in hue to his coat, held up by a simple belt. On his feet he wears a pair of tan sandals composed of a number of straps, securing the soles while not helping much with the cold. V wears tan fingerless glove on his right hand, and a pyramid-studded wrap-around bracelet on his let wrist. Around his neck a cord loops, holding a tooth pendant.

V carries on his person a detailed metallic cane which he uses to finish off enemies in battle after his familiars weaken them. He is more able than he used to be in combat but still tends to favour the use of his familiars due to their faster regeneration in case of injury.

Main & Multi Verse, DMC 5:

As per canon, V’s outfit is much the same except for being all black with no decorative embellishments.

Valdis Verse:

His outfit is of the Blue and Gold/Tan colour scheme. He has no Tattoos as he has no familiars in this verse, nor cane. His hair is white.

His triggered form is similar to Nero’s by way of armouring and texture, however Valdis is much more lithe like his human form, and his hair matches the same in his human form to triggered. Additionally, his eyes glow a green-teal, and his tongue forks near the end.

The leathery flesh of his demon form is Deep Indigo-Blue, clad with dark-golden scaling around his torso, getting blacker along the extremities of his limbs his claws and three-toed raptor-like claws. Pulsing blue energy accents his form. He has no wings, but the armouring over his shoulders comes together over his back in plated rows to guard his upper spine where it splits, both continuing as his spine, but also into his barbed tail.

whats everyone's height?

I think I’ve answered this a few times? I know I’ve done the RO’s here, and the archangels here, but now here’s a composite post (if there’s anyone else you want to know about, please ask specifically! It’s a rather large cast.)

Hanael, 5′ 3″.

GRAND FINAL PREVIEW

THE SEA EAGLE

MAKING RUGBY LEAGUE GREAT AGAIN!!!

As is well documented, and has been for many years, the patented Sea Eagle GF Preview using the following rating system:

0-5- reserve grader, should have to pay to enter the ground;

5-7- Competent first grader of varying levels

7-8- Origin/Test quality (UK and NZ only)

8 and above- All-time great

9- 10 Immortal status.

It goes without saying these are subjective views of the Sea Eagle, based on nothing more than what he has seen and witnessed for many  years of watching rugby league.

FILTHY WRESTLING SALARY CAP RORTING STORM

1 Billy Slater. Was not suspended for the filthy cheating shoulder charge, against the Sharks. What a disgrace. All the Sea Eagle can say about Slater, is that the Sea Eagle saw him dropped to reserve grade and play for the North Sydney Bears early in his career, at Brookvale. If anyone thinks the curse of the bear is not real, there is no better evidence of it than this. It now waits for this great player greatest chance at glory to win a GF in his final game, to strike – like the stench of the Bear that it is. That said, despite being a cheating filthy wrestler, he is a great player. Height 178cm Weight 88kg Age 35 8.5/10. 2 premierships.

2 Suliasi Vunivalu – Filthy wrestler hanging out on the wing. Another great advertisement for the strength of local junior league. in Melbourne. Height 192ckm Weight 99kg Age 23 7/10. 1 premiership.

3 William Chambers – A strong and competent origin tested filthy wrestler. For who else, Queensland. His best is behind him, and Rooster Latrell Mitchell is now going better than him. But still strong. Height 190cm Weight 100kg Age 31. 7/10 1 premiership

4 Curtis Scott.  A new recruit for the backline and noted filthy wrestler. But only had Cheyse Blair to beat for his spot, and let’s face it, after Cheyse’s efforts with the Eels and Manly, that is hardly a big hurdle. That said, he can play. Height 188 cm Weight 90kg Age 20. 6.5/10 No premierships

5 Josh Addo Carr. NSW origin proven and tested filthy wrestler. Played for the Tigers and was discarded on alleged lack of ability. He along with Tedesco, and Ryan Hoffman, is one of 3 ex Tigers in this game. Says a lot about how inept the Tigers are. Says a lot about how good Robinson and Bellamy are in spotting Moneyball talent.  Height 183cm Weight 88 kg Age 23. 7/10 No premierships

6 Cameron Munster – The big thing for Qld as a 5/8 and a filthy wrestler. The X factor in this game who along with Cameron Smith and Slater can make it happen alone. Which is what you need to win. Height 185cm Weight 89kg Age 22. 8.5/10. 1 premiership

  7 Brodie Croft. Untested in this atmosphere but is no doubt an up an coming filthy westler. But is a Queenslander. He will handle it. Height 177cm Weight 86 kg Age 21. 6.5/10 No premiership.

8 Jesse Bromwich – Very very very good. A huge NZ test forward and filthy wrestler. Players like this win premierships and lead the way and lay the platform. He already has 2 under his belt. Height 194cm Weight 114kg Age 27. 8.5/10 2 premierships.

9 Cameron Smith – Unbelievable talent. Looks like James Bond, but is a filthy wrestler with a repertoire not dissimilar to the Nature Boy Ric Flair. Melbourne usually win when he plays, and lose when he doesn’t That pretty much sums up his skill set. With him and Munster and slater combining the Roosters had better be on top of things. Height 185cm Weight 90kg Age 34 8.5/10. 2 premierships.

10 Tim Glasby – Filthy wrestler but Origin tested. For who else but Queensland. Will do it simple and tough. That wins premierships. Height 188cm Weight 104 kg Age 27 7/10. 7.5/10. 1 premiership

11 Felise Kaufusi . Queensland origin player and filthy wrestler born in NZ. No surprises there. Auckland is in Queensland right? A dominant game breaker. Height 189cm Weight 109 kg Age 26. 7.5/10 1 premiership

12 Joe Stimson. A typical Melbourne filthy wrestler no one has heard of until the GF. Queenslander. What a shock. No doubt will be an automaton in the Melbourne metronome. Height 189 cm Weight 104 kg Age 22. 6.5/10 No premiership

13 Dale Finucane. - Ex Dogggie.. Plays like one too except is now a filthy wrestler. Looks good in this forward pack. How did the Dogs let him go!!! Height 188cm Weight 102kg Age 25. 7/106.5/10. 1 premiership.

Interchange:

14 Kenny Bromwich. A Melbourne stalwart and filthy wrestler. Great player off the bench. Filthy wrestler. Height 183 cm Weight 105kg Age 27. 7.5/10 2 premierships

15 Christian Welch –Queenslander. Say no more. Filthy wrestler. Height 195cm Weight 105kg Age 22 6/10. 1 premiership

16 Ryan Hoffman. Last game as a filthy wrestler for the Storm and probably for life. Still, at least he is playing, which like the shoulder charging Billy the Kid, he also gets to play. Height 192cm Weight 105 kg Age 34. 7/10 2 premierships

17 Nelson Asofa-Solomona. A huge man and filthy wrestler. Comes of the bench because he can’t go the 80. Yet again another example of why we need a 4 man replacement rule, to weed out these behemoth’s that are making a lot of kiddies give league a wide berth as a sport. Height 200 cm Weight 115 kg Age 22. 7/10 1 premiership

Coach: Craig Bellamy  It is definitely his fault his teams play the way they do. The rules allow it to be so and the referees won’t pull up the wrestling. So why wouldn’t he? He is a good coach, so why wouldn’t do something that is clearly successful. But he is killing the game, and the more he succeeds, the more he will be copied and the worse it will be to watch as a spectacle. Nothing to like about his coaching or the way his teams play, other than they win premierships ugly and regularly. 

EASTERN SUBURBS ROOSTERS

1 . James Tedesco Ex Tiger who has come to the Latte sippers to play finals footy and maybe win a comp. great player. Origin tested. Height 184cm  Weight 95kg  Age25   7.5/10.  No premierships

2. Daniel Tupou. A hugely underrated winger. Very good player, under the high ball and getting the job done. Height 196cm  Weight  105kg Age 27  7/10.  1 premiership.

3 Latrell Mitchell The Rooster X factor. Makes it happen. Origin proven and tested. Kicks the goals. The one thing the Roosters need to do in this game is give the ball to Latrell in space. Height  193cm Weight  102kg Age 21  8/10.  No premiership

4 Joseph Manu A young, exciting prospect. Could have been an All Black, except that NZ produce 100’s of players as good as him which makes his chances of breaking through that much harder. So he chose league and the coin. Now he is in a GF. Height 192cm  Weight  98kg Age 22  6.5/10.  No premiership

5 Blake Ferguson. A beast of a human on and off the field.  Prone to schoolboy errors, and flashes of brilliance. The Sea Eagle considers him a liability on an overall basis. Unlike Todd Carney, at least he was not banned from Goulburn. Height  191cm Weight  100kg Age 28 6 /10.  No premierships

6 Luke Keary Came from Souths, and lit up the game last week when Cooper Cronk was playing with one arm. He will be the play maker this week and Melbourne will have a plan to deal with him. A risk for the Latte sippers but what choice do they have? Height 179cm  Weight 85kg Age 26  7.5/10.  1 premiership

7 Mitchell Aubusson. First player picked. They then work out what hole needs to be filled and he fills it. This time it is Cooper Cronk who is a million to one to play, so he plays half back. But he won’t be Cooper Cronk in this most key of positions. A real problem for the Roosters here. He is a defensive type with acceptable  ball skills. The best choice the Roosters have for this nightmare of selections. Height 185cm  Weight 96kg  Age 30   7/10.  1 premiership

8 Jared Waerea-Hargreaves. The one exception to the rule that they never go any better when they leave Manly. He went way better (but it’s fair to say he would have won premierships had he stayed at the nest). Has 1 premiership already and in his second GF. Needs to aim up and put in. His form of late has been subdued. But in a game like this he can lead the Latte sippers to victory. Height  193cm Weight  108kg Age 29   7/10. 1 premiership.

9 Jake Friend (c) Underrated talent. Queenslander. Tough, talented. uncompromising. Height 175cm  Weight 92kg  Age 28  7/10.  1 premiership.

 10 Siosiua Taukeiaho Say his name 10 times in succession eating a SAO. I dare you. Height  188cm Weight 106kg  Age 26  6/10.  No premiership

11 Boyd Cordner (c) origin proven and tested. Big metres, big defence, big motor, big heart, can play with pain. He won’t let the Roosters down. Height 188cm  Weight  102kg Age 26  7.5/10. 1  premiership

12 Isaac Liu Workhorse. Some skills. Height  Weight 187cm 108kg  Age 27  /10.  1 premiership

13 Victor Radley Think Bunny Reilly. Think Victor Radley. Height 182cm  Weight  92kg Age 20  7/10.  No premiership.

Interchange

14. Dylan Napa A bit of goose at times, but is a Queensland Origin prop forward, which is what you want on GF day. Great off the bench. And is fresh from another suspension for using his head as part of his defensive technique. Unlike Billy Slater, he got suspended for that. Billy the Shoulder Charger got praise and sympathy. Height 198  Weight 113kg  Age 25   7/10.  No premiership

15 Zane Tetevano A big unit. Tested at this level. Height 189cm Weight  111kg Age 27  6.5/10.  No premiership

16 Paul Momirovski. Did a good job last week. but still pretty green. Think John Rheinberger. Height  191cm Weight 88kg  Age 22  6/10.  No premiership

17 Ryan Matterson A young future star for the Latte sippers. The Sea Eagle has this feeling that he might implode in this one. Height  194cm Weight 107kg  Age 23  6/10.  No premiership

Coach: Trent Robinson . Already has one premiership to his name. His teams make the finals most years, and it’s his second GF .He has the brains to come up with a plan to beat the filthy wrestlers from the Storm. Does he have the players to execute it?

 Sea Eagle Prediction

Hard to see a team with Billy Slater, Cameron Munster, Cameron Smith, backed up by the Bromwich brothers, Will Chambers and a few Queensland Origin forwards, getting beaten. It’s even harder to imagine it, when Cooper Cronk won’t be guiding Easts around the Park.

The Sea Eagle will be supporting the Roosters, but it looks like a Storm victory, more is the pity. The Storm are filth. No good can come from them winning this one. None whatsoever.

This is the third GF in a row for the Storm. The last side to do that was the Roosters (2002-2004), and before them Manly (95-97) and before them the Eels (81-83). Both Manly and the Roosters were 1 from 3. The Eels were 3 from 3. No team is 2 from 3. The Storm are 1 from 2 trying to go 2 from 3. This is the main statistic that should give Roosters supporters some cause to dream. It seems it is very hard to play 3 GF’s in a row and win at least 2 of them. Add to that, the fact that the Storm are trying to be the first team to go back to back premiership winners since the Broncos in 92/93 and you can see how difficult the task is for the Storm.

Go the Roosters! (and for the Sea Eagle to say that, after years of spraying the Latte sippers, is something in itself!).

Cal Twomey’s Phantom Form Guide – July edition

IT’S THAT time of the year again. The NAB AFL Under-18 Championships are over, which means we’re ready to order the top group of prospects in this year’s draft pool.

This is AFL.com.au‘s first Phantom Form Guide for 2017, where we rank the best 25 players available to clubs at this year’s draft.

Just as a reminder, this is purely a ranking and does not take into account the selections held by clubs or academy and father-son prospects. 

It is also not a mock draft. It is simply a list of the best players from our view. The Phantom Form Guide will be updated monthly in the lead-up to November’s draft.

POS: Half-forward/midfielder, Ht 187cm, Wt 88kg, DOB 21/10/1999 From Western Jets/Vic Metro

It’s been a sharp rise this season for Rayner, who has exploded into No.1 pick contention. The powerful midfielder/half-forward ticks a lot of boxes: he’s a long and penetrating kick on both feet, he’s got a leap to take grabs in the air, he’s dangerous in attack, quick off the mark and a bull at stoppages. He showed all of that and more through the national carnival, having a brilliant few weeks for Vic Metro. His dominant five-goal haul against South Australia in round four showcased his ability inside 50, and his 23-disposal and six-clearance effort against WA highlighted his midfield capacity. There’s a lot to like about Rayner.

POS: Midfielder, Ht 187cm, Wt 85kg, DOB 8/6/1999 From Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country

The tough, composed and hard-working midfielder started his carnival in brilliant fashion, steering Vic Country to a win over the Allies with 34 disposals and 10 marks in a dominant display. He didn’t quite have the same impact thereafter, but recruiters are well aware of his talents. Davies-Uniacke is the right size for a modern midfielder, he’s competitive, good by foot and has a turn of speed, evident in his breakaway goal from a centre clearance against Vic Metro in round three of the carnival. Davies-Uniacke is a prospect you can see playing plenty of games at AFL level next year.

POS: Midfielder, Ht 186cm, Wt 85kg, DOB 7/10/1999 From Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro  

Cerra didn’t blitz at the carnival but is a midfielder you can depend on. He’s classy by foot, keeps running all day, makes space for others with his hands and never appears rushed into his decisions. He had 24 disposals against Western Australia in Metro’s round one win and 17 touches, seven tackles and seven clearances in their title-sealing win over South Australia at Etihad Stadium. A knee injury limited Cerra last season but he has pieced together a year of consistent showings in 2017 that makes him one of the leading midfielders up for grabs.

POS: Half-forward/midfielder, Ht 192cm, Wt 92kg, DOB 25/9/1999 From Glenelg/South Australia

Fogarty couldn’t get going in the championships for South Australia. He was moved around into different spots to find his form and had a few excellent moments, including a clever sidestep and long goal against the Allies in round two at Adelaide Oval. He was moved to defence for his state’s final game against Vic Country at Simonds Stadium. Fogarty is a tough, physical, commanding player when up and going: he’s a great mark and a damaging kick and is big enough to play as a leading target in attack.

POS: Key forward, Ht 195cm, Wt 90kg, DOB 27/10/1999 From Scotch College/Vic Metro

Sutherland still has to make a call on whether he pursues cricket or football professionally, but for the purpose of this exercise we’ll keep him in the AFL draft pool. Clubs are certainly hoping he goes that way, as Sutherland is perhaps the best key position player his age in the country. He played three games for Vic Metro at the championships and stepped up well, showing his athleticism, marking ability and classy finishing skills. Sutherland also spent some time in the midfield, where he gave recruiters more of a look at his movement and game-reading ability.

Draft stocks rising, but will Will stick with footy?

POS: Key defender/key forward, Ht 194cm, Wt 89kg, DOB 11/2/1999 From Bendigo Pioneers/Allies

It seems most are of the view Brander is better placed as a key defender than a key forward, and that’s where he spent most of his carnival with the Allies. However, in the final game for the Allies he moved forward, kicked three goals from 16 disposals and nine marks, and played an outstanding game. It was a timely reminder he remains one of the leading taller types in the crop, despite having an up and down year to this point. Brander is a safe mark and long right-foot kick, and is capable of influencing a game from the back half.

Upset win: Brander leads Allies to thrilling victory over Vic Metro

POS: Half-forward, Ht 189cm, Wt 76kg, DOB 15/1/1999 From Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro

A bag of five goals from 28 disposals against South Australia was Stephenson’s best outing at the championships. From a wing he was able to find space, link up with teammates and hit the scoreboard – all things the Eastern Ranges prospect has done over the past three seasons at TAC Cup level. Stephenson is rangey but good overhead and can leap for his marks, he’s dangerous when the ball hits the ground, and can manufacture something from nothing. He’s also spent periods of this season up the ground in a midfield role.

POS: Small forward/midfielder, Ht 178cm, Wt 76kg, DOB 19/3/1999 From Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro

Higgins couldn’t have done much more – in the carnival and across the whole year – to press his claims as a top draftee. The determined Oakleigh Charger began his carnival with an outstanding display against Western Australia, where he finished with 30 disposals, seven clearances and two goals (22 touchers were in the first half). It proved he is more than just a clever and dangerous small forward and that a midfield position suits his tenacious approach well. Higgins is a neat and clever kick on both feet, has worked on his speed, uses his body well in marking contests and loves a goal. Pound for pound there aren’t too many better players. 

POS: Midfielder, Ht 184cm, Wt 75kg, DOB 18/9/1999 From Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country

A knee injury ruled O’Brien out of the Vic Country’s first game, and he was rusty in the opening half the following match against Vic Metro when he had only two touches. But his second half (he gathered 16 disposals) and then his next game against Western Australia (he had 18 touches, nine marks and seven inside-50s) was very good. O’Brien is an elite runner and brilliant kick, evident in his long goal against WA from outside the 50-metre arc. O’Brien’s best footy is played as a hard-running wingman who sets up the play.

POS: Ruckman/key forward, Ht 203cm, Wt 93kg, DOB 9/6/1999 From Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro 

The Vic Metro big man is among the top group of draft prospects and is the best ruckman in this year’s crop. He didn’t have an overly dominant carnival for his side, but showed his crafty tap work and has proven this season at under-18 level he can push forward and kick goals. That included a six-goal haul for the Ranges in one game where he was stationed more permanently inside his team’s attacking 50. He needs to improve his aerobic base but has plenty of tools to work with.

POS: Midfielder, Ht 184cm, Wt 78kg, DOB 16/10/1999 From Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country

Dow combines a strong work ethic and no-frills approach with a genuine turn of pace and goal-sense. He’s a midfielder with plenty of appealing attributes, and he had a consistent carnival for Vic Country without being absolutely dominant. Dow is good at trapping the ball in tight situations and then using a couple of quick steps to get out of trouble and into space. His best game was probably against Western Australia, when he gathered 23 disposals, six clearances and booted a goal.

POS: Half-back/midfielder, Ht 186cm, Wt 79kg, DOB 26/3/1999 From Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country

There aren’t too many players as tough as Clark. The Dandenong Stingray’s courage can sometimes go unnoticed, because he has a relaxed nature, but Clark is prepared to put his body on the line in the best interests of his team. After playing as a half-back in recent seasons, Clark has spent more time through the midfield this season and shown he can win the ball and get it going his side’s way. Clark can kick on both feet and is also a fierce tackler.

POS: Key forward, Ht 199cm, Wt 95kg, DOB 29/3/1999 From Brisbane Lions academy/Allies

Ballenden started the championships quietly but found some form when he moved to defence in the third round of the carnival, gathering 23 disposals and eight marks for the Allies. It’s probably not a position he will hold at the next level, but it wasn’t a bad learning experience for the Brisbane Lions academy prospect. Some of Ballenden’s better games this year have come as a ruckman who pushes forward rather than the other way around. He has a lot going for him when he’s on song including being a terrific long and accurate kick.

POS: Midfielder, Ht 183cm, Wt 73kg, DOB 15/1/1999 From Northern Knights/Vic Metro

Naish gives the top end of the draft genuine dash. The wingman loves to tuck the ball under his arm and go for a run, and then use his penetrating right-foot kicking to spot up a target. It is the combination of these two facets of his game – the drive and the disposal – that set him apart. One of Naish’s best games of the carnival came at what may well become his AFL home, Punt Road Oval, where he gathered 24 disposals and kicked two goals. The Richmond father-son prospect (his dad Chris played 143 games for the Tigers) loves a goal and regularly hits the scoreboard.

POS: Half-back/midfielder, Ht 183cm, Wt 81kg, DOB 21/5/1999 From Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro

The left-footer enjoyed an excellent carnival to play the best football of his season so far. Settling into a position across half-back, the Vic Metro captain was a general in defence. He tidied up when the ball hit the ground, competed well in the air and gave good rebound with his sure skills. He was especially good in Metro’s win over Vic Country with 24 disposals and nine marks, offering plenty of drive and a steady hand as well.

POS: Midfielder/half-back, Ht 190cm, Wt 83kg, DOB 23/10/1999 From Northern Knights/Vic Metro

Coffield’s mix of speed and size makes him a player plenty of recruiters are watching. The Northern Knights captain has probably done his best and most consistent work across half-back this year, but he can also move into the midfield and push forward to kick a goal, which he did for Metro against Western Australia in round two of the national carnival. He has the agility and pace to get things moving, and was close to best afield in Metro’s final game when he had 29 disposals and seven marks against the Allies.

POS: Half-back/half-forward, Ht 184cm, Wt 73kg, DOB 12/4/1999 From Northern Knights/Vic Metro

It isn’t hard to spot Petruccelle when he’s firing. He’s the one taking the game on, whisking the ball from half-back to half-forward in a flash, and making things happen. He needs to get more disposals, tidy his kicking and be more involved in games, because there are times Petruccelle struggles to get into the action, which was the case during the championships. However, as shown by his five-goal haul at TAC Cup level earlier this year for the Knights, the former basketballer has some special traits. He runs 2.82 seconds over 20 metres, so can certainly break the lines.

POS: Midfielder, Ht 190cm, Wt 83kg, DOB 23/10/1999 From Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Vic Metro didn’t select Constable in its first game of the carnival, but he rebounded well to feature prominently in its final three games. The tall midfielder averaged 26 disposals in the national under-18 championships, and was particularly important against Vic Country, when he gathered 31 touches, six marks and six inside-50s. Constable’s height gives him an advantage over others, and he’s adept at making the most of it around the stoppages to accumulate disposals.

Allen was one of the most consistent players of the championships, which saw him named the Larke medallist as the best player in division one. He kicked 11 goals in total across four games – including three bags of three majors – and didn’t waiver in his efforts to present as the key forward for Western Australia. He’s a steady kick for goal, makes the most of his chances, and also roams up the ground to get plenty of the ball for a key position type.

POS: Key defender, Ht 194cm, Wt 84kg, DOB 30/11/1999 From Peel Thunder/Western Australia

There were times Naughton held Western Australia’s defence together through the championships. The key defender was one of their most reliable players, and his capacity to hold down his own opponents while also offering serviceable rebound saw his stocks lift across the past month. Naughton’s rise has made him sit among the top key defenders in the pool.

POS: Midfielder, Ht 179cm, Wt 75kg, DOB 1/4/1999 From Western Jets/Vic Metro

A groin injury delayed Fogarty’s start to the championships but he returned in fine style with 23 disposals, 12 tackles and two goals against Vic Country in round three. It was a reminder of his all-round game as a midfielder, having already produced a strong performance for the NAB AFL Academy in its game against VFL side the Northern Blues in April. Fogarty is a neat and reliable kick, extremely hard working and keeps himself involved in the game with his tackling intent.

POS: Midfielder, Ht 183cm, Wt 80kg, DOB 8/11/1999 From Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Brayshaw could climb higher than this mark if he can get a good run at things in the second half of the season. The younger brother of Melbourne midfielder Angus missed the early part of the championships with a quad injury but returned confidently with 20 disposals through the midfield for Metro in its win over South Australia. He backed that up with 22 disposals and a goal against the Allies, all the while proving Brayshaw has a nice balance to his midfield game and runs hard.

POS: Ruckman/key forward, Ht 201cm, Wt 98kg, DOB 13/6/1999 From Sturt/South Australia

Is Coleman-Jones going to be a ruckman at the next level or more of a key forward? His place in the draft pecking order might come down to how clubs answer that question. Coleman-Jones put in one of the most dominant games of the carnival when he gathered 28 disposals, had 15 hit-outs and a huge impact for South Australia against the Allies in round two of the championships. He can mark the ball well and strongly in the air and has improved his kicking.

POS: Key defender, Ht 194cm, Wt 92kg, DOB 23/10/1999 From Calder Cannons/Vic Metro

Balta is a ‘moments’ type of prospect at this stage of his development. In most games he will show something that really catches the eye – it could be a booming long kick, an athletic grab or some nice movement for a player his size. He doesn’t have the consistency yet but there’s a bit there to work with. The other question is where he plays best, which at this stage seems to be as a key defender.

POS: Midfielder, Ht 182cm, Wt 74kg, DOB 21/4/1999 From Geelong Falcons/Vic Country 

The speedy Geelong Falcons midfielder likes to zip through traffic and past opponents and take the ball with him. At times Ling can find a little bit of trouble with his take-them-on attitude, but he’s an eye-catching player and because of that he has some fans. The outside midfielder has been a key member of the Falcons’ TAC Cup campaign so far this season.

So i know youve said how tall the archangels are. But what about the ROs, any heights figured out for them?

Actually, all the ROs have heights. I’ve mentioned most them in the CoG forum, but I’ll lay them out here.

1. Sabriel is 5′ 9″/175cm.

2. Michael is 6′ 2″ (though when he pops down to earth, his height actually drops down to 5′ 10″) so 188/178cm.

3. Ramiel’s preferred form stands at 6′ 6″/198 cm.

4. Tom is 6′ 5″/196 cm.

5. Charleston is 5′ 6″/168 cm.

6. Karyn is 5′ 6″/168 cm.

7. Stephanie is 5′ 2″/157 cm.

8. Tadea is 5′ 8″/173cm.

9. Leo is around 6′ 1″/185 cm at his final height. He still has some growing to do at the beginning of his romanceable portion.

10. Ryder is 5′ 5″/165 cm.

11. Alice is 5′ 11″/180 cm.

12. Iain is 6′ 4″/193 cm.

13. Zaria is 6′0″/183cm

14. Iro. It depends on the day and whatever form she happens to be wearing.

15. Aelius. It also depends on the day and his form, though he typically prefers heights ranging from 5′6/168 cm to 5′ 10″/178 cm.
