Other End of the Line - Damien x MC
Summary: After the late night search with Nadia, Kai feels scared and alone, so turns to the only person they know will be on their sideā€” Damien.
Pairing: I wrote this as Damien/MC (I used the generic name, Kai, and no pronouns) but this could technically still be Gen
Warnings: some strong language I guess?
Word Count: 1,626 oops!
Authorā€™s Notes: Ahh! This is the first time in 6 years Iā€™ve posted any writing online and the first time ever on Tumblr! I couldnā€™t get this out of my head, and itā€™s part of the reason I made this sideblog haha. Even though Iā€™m drakewalkerstan, I still LOVE Damien, so this was born!Ā 
"Hello?" Damien blearily answered his phone, half-awake and blinded by the glare of the screen.
"Damien," he heard Kai hiss on the other end. "Shit, Damien, help..."
Damien was now wide awake, he sat up in his bed and switched on the lamp on his bedside table, jamming the phone against his ear nervously.
"Kai, are you okay? What's going on?"
"I... I sound fucking crazy. I think... I think Hayden's a robot. Steve too. I swear to god, Damien, please."
"Okay, what happened," Damien asked. He was half afraid that Kai was on something right now, but he didn't want to laugh the call off just in case. Kai was silent for a moment, concentrating on the sound of Damienā€™s breathing on the other end in order to calm down.
"Okay, I don't know if Nadia told you, but we were in a car crash an-"
Damienā€™s heart stuttered for a moment, then raced back to action double-time.
"WHAT? Okay, hold up! A car crash? Are you okay? Jesus, Kai, oh my god!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, we're all okay."
"Thank god,ā€ Damien mumbled under his breath, his eyes squeezed shut in relief. ā€œWhat happened?"
"We were driving back from the waterfall- Nadia, Steve, Hayden and I- and a deer jumped in front of the car, so Steve swerved and we crashed."
"Oh my god..."
"Iā€™m fine, but... but Hayden tore open the car door and pulled me out."
There was a moment of complete silence, and Damien could only hear the sound of Kai's soft breathing on the other end of the line.
"What?"
"Yeah. I came to and I tried to get out of the car, but the door was totally smashed up and I just couldn't open it. Hayden was able to pry the car door open and get me out of the car. Nadia said it was adrenaline, but..."
"No, yeah, that's weird."
"Plus I asked about it, and Hayden has no memory of it because of a concussion."
Damien turns over this information in his head, but no matter how he approaches it he canā€™t think up a logical explanation for the insane feat of strength. Kai, silent for a moment, can almost hear the gears in his mind turning on the other end of the line.
"Okay," Kai begins, "other weird things: the fact that Steve has no memory of how to get around his town?"
"Huh?"
"We asked him to take us to the local waterfall where he used to hang out as a teen and he had absolutely no idea where to find it- he was barely able to comment on anything unless we prompted him."
"What do you mean prompting?"
"Okay, so originally Steve just talked about the tourist attractions in town, and didn't even bring up the waterfall until Nadia mentioned that someone told her about it. And then he didn't know how to find it- even though he said he'd been there a few times- until Nadia had to remind him again."
"Kai, it was a while ago, maybe he honestly forgot about it."
"Okay, get this, we visited his house today and he was acting super weird."
Damien, though now more skeptical about the conspiracy theory, opens his mind once again to Kai.
"Weird how?"
Kai takes a deep breath and tries to recollect exactly what was so unnerving about what happened in that little farmhouse.
"When we got there, his dad Robert was joking around about how he was a rascally kid and he used to ride his horse Moonlight. Steve laughed and told his dad to stop messing with us, and he honestly didn't remember that he'd ever mentioned- or even had- a horse named Moonlight!"
Kai waited for any sort of reaction, but was once again met by Damien's silence.
"Okay," Kai snarked.
"Sorry, I'm just thinking," Damien murmured. "Wasn't he concussed?"
"If he was, he didnā€™t mention it. I don't think that's how concussions work though!"
"Hmm, okay. Is there anything else?"
"So his dad went to the kitchen and Steve showed us a picture of him as a teenager at a football game. When Robert got back-"
"Is Robert Steve's dad?"
"Yeah, sorry." Kai said. "So Robert walks back in and sees us with the picture and gets really mad. He calls Steve into the kitchen with him, so I eavesdrop-ā€
ā€œThatā€™s my Kai,ā€ Damien interjected proudly. Kai could hear the grin in his voice, and chuckled for a moment before continuing on. In fact, while Kai was deciding whether or not to listen in on the conversation, Damien was a key factor in motivating the eavesdropping, but thatā€™s definitely something Damien would get cocky about, so thereā€™s no way heā€™s being told that.
ā€œRobert is really mad at Steve for showing us this picture. He tells Steve, and I quote, ā€˜Our personal lives are our business.ā€™ This is apparently a regular occurrence between the two of them, too.ā€
ā€œThatā€™s strange, Iā€™ll grant you that, but maybe Robert is really private, or senile or something,ā€ Damien said
Despite everything, Kai snorted at the suggestion.
ā€œI doubt heā€™s senile, but it gets worse. Okay, fast forward to like an hour or two ago. We are all in the bed and breakfast and I wake up and hear Nadia shouting. Steveā€™s fucking gone.ā€
ā€œWHAT? He left?ā€
Damien is filled with righteous anger on behalf of his friend and it makes Kai feel stupidly warm inside. Even though, both Kai and Nadia know that their friend is a little standoffish and cynical, but any show of caring from him never fails to put a goofy smile on Kaiā€™s face.
ā€œHis suitcase is gone,ā€ Kai continues, ignoring Damienā€™s outburst, ā€œand neither Robert nor Steve are picking up their phones. Hayden calls the police then instructs us to stay in the bed and breakfast instead of joining the search, whichā€¦is weird?ā€
ā€œKind of, yeah. Hayden insisted you stay in the room instead of all searching together?ā€
ā€œYeah! Before even trying to call Robert or the police, it was just ā€˜Iā€™ll search all of Cedar Rest, I wonā€™t stop until I find him.ā€™ So then Nadia and I say ā€˜Fuck it,ā€™ and we decide to go searching too. We head out to the waterfall, and we decide to split up-ā€
ā€œDumb.ā€
ā€œ-to search for clues. Itā€™s a dinky old town, whatā€™s dangerous about splitting up?ā€
ā€œ...Robots?ā€
ā€œShut up. So I find the picture that Steve showed us, which for the record is of him and his dad standing together at a football game. He also doesnā€™t look any younger than he does now, but whatever. You know what I notice?ā€
Kai waits for Damien to chime in with a ā€˜What?ā€™ but he is silent.
ā€œOkayā€¦ The matchmaker from Eros is IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE PHOTO.ā€
ā€œWhat? Are you sure?ā€
ā€œPositive! This is the exact same lady, sitting in the crowd at the football game, likeā€¦ at least 5 years before heā€™s even supposed to be connected with Eros!ā€
Damien is, again, completely silent, but Kai can tell that heā€™s thinking about the new information. On the other end of the line, Damien runs his hand over his face, trying to think of any logical explanation of this connection, but his mind is blank.
ā€œYeah, thatā€™s fishy. I believe you, somethingā€™s not right there,ā€ Damien concedes.
ā€œSo I showed Nadia the picture, and when we came back to the bed and breakfast, I found a goodbye note from Steve right by the doormat of their room!ā€
ā€œSo he left of his own volition,ā€ Damien said.
ā€œAllegedly! Nadia went back to her room, sheā€™s freaking out, and Robert, Steve and Hayden are all MIA.ā€
ā€œSo whatā€™s happening now?ā€
ā€œIā€™m in my bed, in case Hayden comes back,ā€ Kai says, lowered to a whisper after realizing that the conversation had gotten way too loud. ā€œItā€™s just- theyā€™re both so perfect, and theyā€™re both exactly in line with what we told to Eros, and with Steveā€™s weird past and Haydenā€™s fucking superstrength? Somethingā€™s not right and Iā€™m freaked out.ā€
"Okay, everythingā€™s extremely suspicious. I still donā€™t think theyā€™re robots, but Iā€™m honestly leaning towards them being a cult or something. Iā€™m going to do some more digging into Eros, and into Steve and Hayden, okay? Iā€™ll use some connections, try to find out how far back their records really go. You just need to stay safe and take care of you and Nadia for now.ā€
"Yeah. Thank you for believing me. I didn't know what else to do."
"It's no problem, I'm always here for you, Kai."
Kai sighed deeply and flipped over on the bed.
"I know I should have listened to you about Eros. Ugh, I'm so stupid..."
"No. Just because I was paranoid doesn't mean you should have been. It's good that you-"
"Shit shit I think Hayden's coming shit bye Damien"
"Wait, Kai, I-"
The sound on the other end of the line cut out and Damien pulled the phone away from his ear. Shit. He knew he wouldnā€™t be able to sleep now, so he got out of bed and opened his blinds, letting the early morning sun in before turning on his computer and starting his search.
On the other end of the state, Kai was stuffing the phone under the pillow and pretending to be asleep, as Hayden pulled back the covers and snuggled into bed. Kaiā€™s heartbeat was racing, and the only comforting thought was that Damien was back home, looking for an answer. Kai felt kind of guilty, thinking about Damien like this while Hayden was curled up in the same bed, but Damien would not leave Kaiā€™s thoughts or heart, no matter how much Kai tried.

My boy has so little. My beloved writer, please indulge us in some Meta Knight x Reader hcs, romantic, if you will. Just general stuff. Bless you.
:o I am so glad someone requested this. I feel you this little blue round puffball deserves more love than what he actually gets. It makes me sad. But of course anon! I'd love to write about Meta Knight!
Meta Knight x GN!Reader (romantic) Headcanons
This is going to be and already established relationship.
Tumblr media
Quick note! Your gender and pronouns aren't really mentioned here at all. I try to avoid mentioning pronouns or your gender whatsoever to make it okay for everyone to read. There's also no meeting headcanons since I couldn't come up with how you two would meet each other. So you just kind of get slammed into this lol.
When he first realized he had a crush on you, he asked his friends for advice before asking you out. He really doesnā€™t want to mess up.Ā 
Only for you to ask him out first instead. He felt like a coward for not being able to ask you out first. He also got really embarrassed. If he didnā€™t have his mask on you wouldā€™ve seen a flustered blue puffball.
He always acts confident around you. Always acts like he knows what heā€™s doing, !HINT! He doesnā€™t know what heā€™s doing at all.Ā 
He has never been in a relationship before, youā€™re kind of his first. Even if he hasnā€™t been in a relationship before, heā€™s still kind of charming.Ā 
He blows kisses to you sometimes! Only with his mask on though. He tried doing it with his mask off when he was looking at his mirror the other day. It didnā€™t go well, that's all I can say. Also he ā€œaccidentallyā€ destroyed his mirror after that.
He tries to flirt but always fails miserably, you usually do the flirting since he obviously canā€™t. Still even at his 1 millionth try he insists to continue. You doubt heā€™ll ever be good at flirting but he can try.
This fluffball loves sweets. If you ever buy him some or even simply hold something that has sugar in or on it he challenges you to a duel, if he has his mask on. Well not literally you two just duel with spoons. If he doesnā€™t have his mask on? He tackles you to the ground and kisses you while stealing the sweets and running away while munching sounds (or crunching sounds) can be heard. ( I have proof that this fluffball loves sweets so fight me.)
For some reason his mood changes depending if he has his mask on or not on. Heā€™s like an entirely different person without his mask! Itā€™s insane! He turn into a total tsundere when he doesnā€™t have his mask on. But when he has his mask on, heā€™s not afraid to do anything to you and is just straight up bold to you.
Whenever you ask him to take his mask off he says no. Saying itā€™s super secret or that he is not comfortable with it. You donā€™t usually listen and just take the mask off and immediately kiss him, while he becomes a flustered red mess and rants like a small child while stomping his two feet on the ground and then runs.Ā 
He gets so easily flustered! Itā€™s honestly hard not to make him flustered, because whenever heā€™s near you his nonexistent metaphorical heart flutters as butterflies go through his metaphorical stomach. He can only hide his emotions with his mask on.
You find him absolutely adorable without his mask on. You honestly love teasing him for his cuteness because it gets him so annoyed and flustered.Ā 
He likes to sleep with you. Usually you two cuddle in bed while his two wings coddle over you and wrap around you, as you lightly smother him with kisses on his sphere like body. He twitches and melts into you from every kiss you give him. Itā€™s not because heā€™s uncomfortable, it's because he isnā€™t used to affection.Ā 
When heā€™s with his friends he constantly talks about you. Telling his friends how great and nice you are and even bragging about you. If you walk in on him while he talks about you. He changes the subject immediately and acts as if he is talking about something else while dying inside and questioning his own existence.
You two usually go to a bakery or a cafe when you two have dates mostly because he is absolutely infatuated and obsessed with sugar. He brings you red roses when you two are on a date.Ā 
He bakes cookies for you while trying to fight off the feeling of eating the cookies and basically salivating over them. It takes him over 5 fucking hours for him to make them just because he has to constantly resist eating them. You always feel bad about this because he is basically having a mental crisis over some cookies. It always leads to you giving him all of the cookies instead.
Once Meta Knight finally learns how to flirt, instead of him being the easily flustered one it changes to be you who is now the easily flustered one. Oh how the tables have turned!
He only shows his face to you willingly, but only when you two are alone. This usually turns out to be you tackling him to the ground while you smite him with tons of playful comments as he fights fire with fire and does the same to you. It becomes an intense battle and I mean really intense.
Meta knight canā€™t eat with his mask on. He has to take it off while on picnic dates. For some reason he gets insanely playful with this idea and steals food from you, when you have it in your mouth as in a resemblance of a kiss.Ā 
He sometimes lets you on the halberd for fun sky trips. You two have it pretty fun together.
Look, I know, I know this was some very short headcanons but I swear I'll make longer headcanons in my life. But I hope you enjoyed anon! Sorry that I couldn't answer quicker I have school so I have times to pass. I also live in Europe so different time zones than some of you people. Maybe give me some constructive criticism?

I remember this one time I was watching some documentary about a white actress, I canā€™t recall who. One of her first roles was something like... a German lesbian with some kind of drug addiction (I think cocaine?). Point is, in her interview segment about it, she said something like,Ā ā€œWhen my mother heard about the role, she said,Ā ā€˜if I were you, I would have told the director to pick just one of those things, not all of them at once.ā€™ā€ And all I can think about is how like... so many of us on here are more than one kind of minority orĀ ā€˜invisibleā€™ identity, or neurodivergent, or in some level of recovery from one thing or another.Ā 
Like, this isnā€™t huge news, yā€™know? Yeah, privilege is a thing. And people are so absolutely unaware of it when they have it that it makes me want to scream. Iā€™m even unaware of my own privilege a lot of the time and I wonā€™t go into a moment of how I feel when I realize Iā€™ve forgotten, because my guilt on the matter is irrelevant. I just need to get better at keeping myself in check and thatā€™s that.Ā 
Yeah Iā€™d love to be cis some days because of how much easier it would make my life (and honestly for not many other reasons, Iā€™m pretty happy being trans... if it just... yā€™know, werenā€™t for how people react to it). Sometimes I think,Ā ā€œMan, straight people are fucking insane; how on earth do they function,ā€ while looking back on the days when I thought I was straight and realizing that even back then I was lost as hell, but some days Iā€™m just like,Ā ā€œIf I were straight, would life really be so much easier?ā€ And it would. It really would. If I were also cis at the same time. Etc.Ā 
And I donā€™t want to make this into an us vs them sort of thing for even a minute, either, because everyone has common ground somewhere. Does that common ground always matter as much to one person as it does to another? Probably not. Jeff Be/os probably shares a home town with a fuck ton of people but Iā€™ll bet he doesnā€™t give a shit about a single one of them, or that commonality, while you could see a popular rock band and never hear them shut up about how proud they are to be from the West Coast. Sometimes it just doesnā€™t fucking matter to other people what you have in common with them, because to them, whatā€™s different is so much more volatile. And it goes both ways.Ā 
Thereā€™s people from my home town, my graduating class, and even old friend groups that I could never see myself talking to again because of how weā€™ve split paths in beliefs and lifestyles. Or, maybe theyā€™ve stayed the same and Iā€™ve changed, or the opposite... and Iā€™ll bet theyā€™d see how Iā€™ve changed and think the same things of me.Ā ā€œWow, I want nothing to do with that person.ā€Ā 
Iā€™m just... constantly having little wake-up calls over and over again of how some people seriously think that Iā€™d choose a harder life on purpose. And Iā€™m not ashamed of living as I am; Iā€™m very proud of who I am and what Iā€™ve overcome to get here.Ā 
Customers at work, where I feel like I live 2/3rds of my life these days, are always just like... a window into the world for me sometimes. Most people donā€™t mention my pronoun button. Some people donā€™t notice it outright and misgender me because theyā€™re looking at my face; entirely being polite and engaged, and not at all aware of how theyā€™re upsetting me. I let it go a lot of the time. Itā€™s not worth it.
Thereā€™s the few good folks who listen carefully and patiently and are seemingly brought to a new awareness by my gentle explanations. Theyā€™re polite and they honestly revive part of my faith. Like the guy who opened his coffee order saying,Ā ā€œyes, miss,ā€ and left the store tipping his hat to me saying,Ā ā€œthank you very much, sir.ā€ God or whoever does things fucking bless that guy.
Then thereā€™s the people who decide to look at my pin, and ask about it. So far, itā€™s either people who are just reading it aloud for the sake of it, and then becoming confused but not actually wanting to understand so much as theyā€™re just desperate to make some kind of conversation with a Youth (which is wild because Iā€™m 25??). They donā€™t actually care, so I donā€™t really put effort into explaining. They either cut me off mid-explanation, or listen and donā€™t say anything further.Ā 
Then thereā€™s the people who look at it and laugh at me. Or the woman who decided it was a good idea to read it, listen to my explanation, and say,Ā ā€œYou know, my daughter tried to explain that to me. I just donā€™t get it. I think itā€™s silly and too complicated. People should just stick to the old ways.ā€ Like... lady. What the fuck do you want me to do about it. Why the fuck do you think telling me this will make me happy or even... want to engage further. I straight up just donā€™t understand where these people get off. Theyā€™re just as rude and uninterested in me as a human being as the people who start rattling off their order and refuse to wait for me to get it all down before shoving their credit card at my face. They do not care. They do. Not. Care. And my patience is starting to wear extremely thin.Ā 
I had a new coworker, who knows Iā€™m trans, the other day stop mid-sentence to say,Ā ā€œOh, you know, sister? Oh! Also, I call everyoneĀ ā€˜sisā€™, boys or girls.ā€ ā€œNot me, you donā€™t.ā€ ā€œ...oh?ā€ ā€œYou donā€™t call me that. Ever.ā€Ā 
ā€œ >:/ tch. Glad we got that out of the way.ā€
Itā€™s not cute. I donā€™t think itā€™s endearing. I donā€™t think itā€™s funny. And I donā€™t give a shit if you call other people that. If you thought about it for five seconds youā€™d realize how insensitive and fucked up it is. If anyone, anywhere, I swear to god, just thought about ANYTHING for five fucking seconds... I wish... I hope, that theyā€™d be better human beings than they are.Ā 
Like, god, what a horrible inconvenience it is for you to have to stop and think about what to call another human being. To use their name. To use the right pronouns. To avoid nicknames or pet names that would be inappropriate for such a person. Heaven forbid you have to do that for anyone, right? Why am I different? Why are you trying to step on my toes and see if Iā€™ll just sit here and take it? I know why. Everyone knows why. And Iā€™m so sick of being the dog under the table who gets kicked every time it whines about having no escape or being surrounded by the feet of people sitting around the table.Ā 
I donā€™t hate being trans. I donā€™t hate being pansexual. I donā€™t hate being poly. I donā€™t hate myself. I hate the people who hate me for being myself and intentionally or ignorantly go out of their way to make my life an extra level of hell Just Because They Can. ,Ā 
I have been bullied and abused all my fucking life by one kind of person or another and not a single excuse Iā€™ve been given justifies it. Humans are better than this. I want to have faith in humans. And there are good humans; I surround myself with them. But if I have to pry yet another motherfuckerā€™s eyes open to yet another goddamn social issue they were too thick-minded to notice, and then have them turn around and bless me and hail me for some kind of... Joan of Arc bullshit, calling my suffering and my existence some kind of blessing, like my life had to be this hard to spread words and messages across time and space to reach their Oh So Important Ears, Iā€™m gonna choke. Or... even the people who mean well that just straight up make me think that they actually believe that the queer people in their lives are some sort of Manic Pixie Dream (gender) whoā€™s come into their lives to teach them something new and advance their own character development. Thatā€™s what it fucking feels like! Being reduced to someone elseā€™s educator and being placed as a Background Character in their own fucking Growth Arc.Ā 
If thereā€™s some sick destiny where Iā€™m lined up to be some kind of flogged messenger to idiots for the rest of my life I want a motherfucking refund. Ship me off to the next incarnation. I donā€™t care if I come back as a ladybug for two days and die under somebodyā€™s shoe.Ā 
And Iā€™m not somebodyā€™s teacher. Iā€™m not somebodyā€™s martyr or savior. Iā€™m not somebodyā€™s free fucking Queer Almanac and Seasonal Guide to the Experiences of Not Their Own. Iā€™m so fucking tired of explaining myself.Ā 
Iā€™m so fucking tired of People ā„¢ But I also want to have so much faith in People ā„¢ that I think Iā€™m just setting myself up for disappointment.Ā 
Sometimes people prove me wrong and itā€™s okay. Other times I write a several paragraph long rant at one in the morning. Fuck me honestly, just, fuck me and boy howdy do I wish I could pluck one or two things off my list of identities if only for the sake of not having to Explain Shit To People ā„¢
And at the same time, I very clearly care about people. I want people to understand because fuck, I was there! I used to be some Jacked Levels of Crazy and I was hugely homophobic when i was a teenager. I look back on the way I used to be and I canā€™t feel proud of who I was and what I believed. I know a lot of it was internalized hatred and disgust. I know all of that shit now. But I see myself in some people and thatā€™s the mistake I make sometimes. Most of the time, Iā€™m fine; I help other folks learn something new and itā€™s good and I feel fine about it. I just hate feeling like other people assume itā€™s my motherfucking duty to tell them and speak on behalf of all non-cis, non-straight people everywhere. I sound like a goddamn Gender and Womenā€™s Studies textbook.Ā 
Fuck, Iā€™m going to bed...Ā

LFRP/LFC - Jacques Cresent (Mateus)
Tumblr media
Jacques Cresent, the Dragon in Disguise
The Basics ā€“ā€“ā€“ ā€“
Age: Thirty-Three (33)
Aliases: Grumpy Dragon (by close friends), The Primal Killer
Birthday: 5th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon (October 5th)
Race: Au Ra, Xaela | Great Wyrm/Dragon (Genetically modified by Garlean Experiments)
Gender: Masculine, Male (He/His/Him Pronouns)
Sexuality: Demisexual, Polyamorous, Demiromantic
Notes on his Sexuality/Romantic Side: Jacques is categorized as a demisexual with strong homosexual or androsexual leanings. He is open to sexual activities but only once he has forged a strong enough emotional bond with the person that he will have sex with (Such as his partners Pā€™shali and Swath for example), he simply prefers men in most cases. This also ties into him being Demiromantic as he has to have that strong emotional bond before he feels any such love/romantic attraction to a partner. (Thanks to @talechaser-ffxiv for helping me out on this one!)
Marital Status: Single
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral for the most part, he can sometimes delve into Chaotic Evil if situations come up that break him. He can also lean into just straight up neutral.
Server: Mateus
Canon Divergent: For the most part, I do my best to keep Jacques as best as I can leaning into the lore of the game. However, him being what he is (IE: he can turn into what is essentially aĀ ā€˜primalā€™ of sorts) is more than just a bit lore breakery. This rarely comes up in RP unless the person that I am RPing with is comfortable with it obviously and it is something that I keep very well guarded. Overall I am a person who tries her best to keep things lore and canon friendly but I am very open to theĀ ā€˜screw thisā€™ option as well since myself and my IRL partner often times fall into that category with our RPs. Never be afraid to ask if Iā€™m open or okay with something folks <3
Physical Appearance ā€“ā€“ā€“ ā€“
You can find more detailed information about certain things on Jacquesā€™ character page. Specifically his scales, horns, etc.
Hair: Jacquesā€™ hair is actually extremely long, when he doesnā€™t have it up in the ponytail and braided it reaches down to just below the base of his tail. His hair is very silky and soft as well since he generally tends to put a lot of care into it. Color wise, Jacquesā€™ hair is a very brilliant silver color which shimmers in the right lighting and has a slight iridescence to it. His hair also has very light aquamarine/teal (mako colored if you would) highlights in it though they are hard to truly notice.
Eyes: Jacques has very bright Aquamarine/Teal (Once again aĀ ā€˜makoā€™ color if you would) eyes by default with a very bright Teal Limbal ring around them. However, because of events one of Jacquesā€™ eyes has turned into that of a Great Wyrm to tie him into his dragon form. His left eye is his wyrm eye and it appears a lot like the eye of Hraesvelgr or Nidhogg in terms of looks with the colors ranging from Reds/Crimsons, Oranges, Purples and Blacks to tie it into his ties with Bahamut, Nidhogg and Midgardsormr. His right eye is his normal eye which is the Teal coloration mentioned previously.
Height: Jacques is a giant standing at a tall 7 foot 1 inches (The maximum height for Au Ra), the only things that are usually taller than him are Roegadynā€™s and even then itā€™s not by much.
Build: Jacques is a very muscular and toned male Au Ra, heā€™s got broad shoulders and tends to have a slight ā€˜taperā€™ to his waistline, a sorta hour-glass look to it really but nothing to the extreme. His arms and legs are both extremely muscular due to constant battles and fighting on the front lines. Generally speaking heā€™s basically a very athletic build and his many years that heā€™s spent fighting show through either his choice in armor (Which is generally form fitting) or in his more 'casualā€™ attire which he doesnā€™t often go around in. Basically heā€™s a big, buff dragon man who can probably break anyone in two if they pissed him off enough.
Distinguishing Marks: The major things to note about Jacques would be that he has far more scales than your typical Au Ra. The entire lower half of his arms from the elbow down are covered in thick scales with plating along the backs of them (from the elbow down to the back of his hand basically) and the same is said for his lower legs which also have dragon like feet instead of normal humanoid feet. Jacquesā€™ facial scales are mostly around his eyes with smallĀ ā€˜stripesā€™ on his cheeks, his entire back starting from the top of his neck is covered in scales with an alligator/crocodile like appearance to them (chutes if you would) and they wrap slightly around his sides. These scales carry all the way down to his tail which is longer than your typical Au Ra tail and it ends in a large flail/fin. Honestly a good idea of his appearance would be this piece that I recently did of him.
Tumblr media
Common Accessories: While Jacques isnā€™t the sort to actually wear jewelry in recent days he has taken to wearing a singular ring on his left (our right) hand, the reasons behind this arenā€™t really known at the moment but it ties into his relationship with P'shali Talechaser and Swath Lodestone. Other than the ring on his hand he will sometimes wear 'earringsā€™ which will hang down from the base of his original horns, these tend to vary and depend on his current mood so to speak.
Additional Features: Basically looking at the image above for an example of what he looks like he has dragon like feet which haveĀ ā€˜toe beansā€™ (AKA Paw pads) on the bottom, more scales than your typical Au Ra. His tail is longer and has a long line of spines that run down the length of it as well as a fin like flail at the end. Three sets of horns and a large scar over his chest. Not shown is the more recent scarring around his Left Eye (Wyrm eye) due to taking a straight up gun blast to the face.

Smoking Habit: Jacques is a very heavy smoker though he tends to try and keep his smoking to more private areas so not to disturb anyone around him. Heā€™ll smoke a lot when he is stressed or simply having a bad day in general. It helps to not only calm him but to take his mind off of everything happening around him. Drugs: Nope, Jacques hates any sort of narcotic due to his past. He has good reason to not trust any such things and will avoid them. If he is pushed to try them he can easily lose his temper and lash out violently. Alcohol: While he doesnā€™t heavily drink, Jacques has been known to toss down a drink or two when in good company. He tends to however prefer actually drinking things like Teas over any sort of Alcoholic beverage.
RP Hooks ā€“ā€“ā€“ ā€“
Honestly, when it comes to Jacques I am open for anything really. I canā€™t really think of ā€˜hooksā€™ per-say so itā€™s often hard for me to think of situations or settings. I tend to be very open with my Role-play and I do not mind plotting things out, Iā€™m pretty much an anything goes kind of person so long as itā€™s okay with both parties. Jacquesā€™ RPā€™s can be either very fun and slice of life to dark and brutal depending on what anyone wants. So really, all anyone needs to do is ask and we can see about setting things up! Basically, Iā€™m all for plotting out things and just going from there! Whatever works for my RP partners and the like, Iā€™m pretty much okay with just about anything and everything lol doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s fluff/fun times or dark themed. Iā€™m game!
The major things that I ask is that characters donā€™t know too much about Jacques (IE: his capability to transform into a dragon, the Wyrm Eye [Though this can come up in RP since he doesnā€™t cover it anymore] or just things that they shouldnā€™t know upon a first meeting), rumors and such are fine (Such as people whispering about the massive dragon that attacked Foundation during the events of the Vault or the dragon that killed Nidhogg, etc.) but characters knowing too much are a bit of a turn off. Jacques isnā€™t the sort to go out and just let all of this information out for the world to hear, heā€™s very secretive and keeps so much hidden just so that he feels ā€˜safeā€™.
On another note, while Jacques is with both Pā€™shali and Swath their relationship is open meaning that he is very much okay with having more ā€˜matureā€™ moments with people whom might catch his interest. Any romantic relationships or anything that might come up from such things will be kept separate in their own ā€˜storyā€™ so that things wonā€™t get too confusing obviously.

Contact Information Ā ā€“ā€“ā€“ ā€“
For the most part Tumblr DMā€™s, Asks or Submissions are the best way to get my attention or to spark an RP. Other than that, Tells in game if I am online will also be a means to get into contact with me. If you wish to contact Jacques in game please message me on Tumblr first before doing so. I do not share my Discord with people as it is a safe space for me and I prefer keeping it private to people that I feel are a good fit and good friends.
On that note I tend to be very shy and hesitant with RPing with people I have not RPā€™d with before. So please bear with me if I seem hesitant to RP with you if I do not know you, ESPECIALLY if it is a more mature RP. I am glad you enjoy my character(s) but Iā€™m still learning how to be more involved in the community and not have major anxiety whenever I speak to new people.
