The Miracle of Harrier the Innocence.
This idea is so vague in my head. But someone puts the city in a dire situation and these idiots get into it. Something something something. And then, just as the showdown begins, they can SEE the skills. They can HEAR the low murmurs. Harry isn’t look at anyone but seeing through them. He has what he needs to diffuse the situation, he has the guidance of himself broken into 24 pieces. Kim and Jean become the first witnesses.
Etc, etc, etc. Harry is a terrible looking candidate for Innocence so the Founding Party tries to ignore him. So he becomes the first Innocence elected by the people who force the Founding Party’s hand.
IDK idk I wish I knew how to write!

after reading sacred and terrible air…I do think that Harrier is an Innocence, BUT for Revachol only.
like an Innocence he’s the reflection and distillation of an age's ideologies, he’s a manifestation of a collective and that isn’t necessarily a good thing. it’s horrifying. just because the world has a voice doesn’t mean you should listen to it. if the masses are reactionary and they want war and annihilation. that’s bad.
we know from thoughts like REGULAR LAW OFFICIAL and accounts of his behavior pre amnesia that Harry naturally bounces rapidly between ideologies. idiot doom spiral's tequila sunset account is about a fascist apocalypse cop Harry.
regardless of how you’re choosing to play him, this is how Harry is. he’s an extremist. what he attaches his extremism to is what changes.
we see how Revachol feeds into whatever he believes at the moment, how they rile each other up. how she will echo whatever he believes in the moment when he talks to Joyce. I’m not going to copy/paste them all, but this is one of my favorite examples:
HALF LIGHT - Maybe a good bloodletting is just what Martinaise needs?
SHIVERS - Houses drenched in red, blood gushing down Rue Saint-Cispare... the whole place mopped with a giant red rag! Fresh bullet holes for all the old buildings...
most importantly he’s a guy. he’s a very ill guy. he’s very disabled.
so in practical terms, this all means he’s immensely over stimulated and stricken with divine madness but also just normal boring madness. nothing he has will save him from poverty or his disabilities. as Trant says he’s absorbing everything he hears and sees
he talks to the dead. he made the swallow when he raided the church, he tore a hole in time with an atrocity, and accelerated the growth of the Pale. he knows how many days are left until the end of the world. he can look at Korty and see how he may kill him in the future, he’s linked to the city and she speaks to him.
and he still desperately needs access to healthcare he isn’t getting. he’s a saint and is weighed down entirely by mundane horrors and realities

my strong opinion is that Harry is a magpie but is not an innocence in the sense that he’s some reincarnation of God that happens once every few hundred years. i think innocence is just a classist concept, your premonitions can only be taken seriously if you already have some power. also the name implies that their intentions are necessarily pure and right which is plain propaganda… anyways.
for all we know, there could be many magpies in Elysium who are varying levels of sensitive towards CCP who are not able to do anything about their prophetic visions bc they’re poor and nobody cares what they think. mayhaps they even end up drowning the unbearable feeling of the weight of their responsibility before the world in substances….
we don’t know whether Harry had the skills before the memory loss, i personally headcanon that he did & that was another reason why he couldn’t deal with reality. the guy was told by the city that he has to stop the End of the world, and the most he could do as a working class person is become a fucking cop. and all his apocalypse ramblings were dismissed as nonsense. even in the moralist quest Harry wants to Do something; he feels the responsibility to act, he’s very driven to change things.
we would never know if there were other people like Harry. so we can’t say for sure that it has to be one person every few hundred of years.
#i love Harrier’s character sooo much. i also love magical realism and politics. it’s truly the game of all time to me#disco elysium#harrier du bois#kill the royalist in your head Harry doesn’t need to be crowned as an innocence! nobody needs to#…do i sound isane? i can’t tell

Things I would like to see written more, or would write about if I could write featuring Disco Elysium:
- Harrier Du bois is a Innocence ! It would start out very subtly, with Kim catching Harry just seemingly not breathing, of course his first concussion would be that Harry’s heart must’ve just stopped, que panicked moments where Kim shakes Harry awake or semi freaks out whenever he sees Harry napping at work or just sleeping in general, because Harry is just not breathing. (Because it’s stated in game that apparently Innocence’s are said to not even breathe, they just eternal like that.) or maybe Harry just makes one too many predictions that are scarily accurate which really fucks with Kim as he entertains the idea of Harry being an Innocence, like he doesn’t believe it, but it’s a entertaining thought to ponder until Harry’s lungs suddenly glow out of nowhere, maybe Harry doesn’t notice himself or Kim convinced himself it was a trick of the light… just alot of second guesses and whatnot!
- Harry dating (and it’s not Kim) Harry, after finding out about his sexuality and finally coming to terms to it — decides it’s time to head back into the dating scene! Maybe Harry just ASSUMES Kim is taken already because I mean… it’s Kim! Kim is so cool! Of course he has a partner! (He doesn’t.) and Kim is just like wow my lungs are burning with hurt right now. Kim painstakingly supporting Harry but also dying inside hearing about all of Harry’s dates and partner(s). I just want jealous Kim honestly. Or even possessive Kim teehee… like Kim overhearing Harry has a date tonight and before Harry himself can tell him Kim abruptly asks if Harry wants to hang out tonight, wanting Harry to choose him over his date, even sweetening the deal by saying he has alot of plans of *insert literally all of Harry’s favourite activities and also maybe Kim confessing or being willing to let Harry do XYZ for once* Harry of course just blurts out ‘YEAH ILL HANG OHT WITH YOU!!’ Without thinking and is like oh shit I have a date tonight. Oh god. Do I blow my date off or Kim?? Kim realllyy smug when Harry chooses him all while acting innocent. Even “scolding” Harry when Harry admits he choose Kim over his date. Just small moments where Kim feels guilty for sabotaging his dates but also just can’t help it, he keeps purposefully somehow ruining the relationship. Of course he feels really guilty but Harry will forgive him because it led to them finally dating. Maybe Kim takes it too far or EVEM GETS CAUGHT ACTIVELY TRYING TO RUIN HARRY’S DATES and for the smallest second Harry sees Kim as some sort of jerk (sorta rightfully so!) and gets mad at Kim until later he thinks about WHY Kim was doing that.
- Body swap au ! I know there’s already some of body swaps out there, but I want more! Like the idea of Kim hearing Harry’s skills and being like ‘This is what Harry is forced to hear all the time? It’s so noisy…’ and then Harry being like ‘wow it’s so… quiet… I don’t like it! I miss my friends!’ BUT ALSO!!! BUT ALSO!!! People always do Harry and Kim! I want to see some more variety! Hell even just adding Jean to the mix sounds so fun! Jean waking up at Harry and just being absolutely mortified. I think it would be funny if the skills know right away that the person in Harry’s body right now isn’t Harry, and are deathly quiet during those first few minutes when Jean first wakes up Harry’s body, until… let’s say perspective or reaction speed helps Jean stop a mug from falling and Jean goes very still at the sound of their voices. Harry in jeans body… or maybe KIM in Jean’s?! Oh Kim would be absolutely checking himself out in the mirror (and delighted at how he can SEE!!! WITHOUT GLASSES!) before catching himself and scolding himself to be more respectful. And I think we all know how Harry would be in Kim’s body…
- Furry Elysium ! Look… here me out. we all agreed that Harry and Kim have a very dog + cat dynamic — or at the very least it’s fun to draw them as animals! But alas… I have seen almost ZERO fanfics about them as actual animals/animal-like features! I want to explore a world like disco elysium filled with animal hydrids! … do you think Jean would be a horse? Or a bird like his name suggests? Would Harry actually be a dog or would he be something else? I feel like Kim being a cat or cat-like is perfect BUT if you think of another animal Kim would fit lmk!
- THEM AS KIDS !!! BUT, BUT… I want them to turn into kids! How? Idk! The pale did it maybe?! It doesn’t have to make logical sense. Maybe they remember their adults self maybe they don’t. I just want someone to hold Harry when he’s a toddler… he deserves some soft parental love… or Jean waking up as a teenager and being absolutely pissed because of it… MAYBE they all are different ages, Harry a toddler, Kim a little boy, Jean a teenager. Or just the classic one-person-magically-turns-into-a-toddler-and-then-the-remaining-adults-have-to-come-together-to-take-care-of-said-toddler.
- Kid fic OR parent fic I know I just mention kids but this time I want one of them to HAVE a kid. Of course Kim would likely be excluded from this biological wise but adoption works too! I just like the idea of of Harry being a father or Jean awkwardly holding a youngster or Kim looking around to see if he’s alone before cooing at a cute little kid. Harry would have a blast dressing the baby up. Also imagine just Harry walking into work with a baby strapped to him on day and Jean just spits out his coffee like WHAT is HARRY doing with a baby?? And Harry is just like ‘this is my baby! And you’re the godfather… kinda rude of you to not know!’ I read some kid fics and they were so, SO sweet.
- MAGICALLY TURNING INTO AN ANIMAL ! Yes. We are pulling out ALL the classics. It doesn’t have to be a cat but I WILL be using a kitty here. I’m so sorry this one is the longest. I wanted a fic like this for so long so please allow me to ramble my ass off:
They can’t change back… or maybe when they do change back to being a human it’s not their choice! Think of ‘A Whisker Away’ type of situation. Kim waking up as a kitty absolutely terrified and thinking the one person who would be able to tell it’s him would likely be Harry, right?! Like he gets premonition and predictions and insights all the time! Surely Harry will immediately know it’s Kim! …. Harry does not know or find out actually. Harry just immediately scooping Kitty-Kim once he ‘gains it’s trust’ (but really it’s just Kim stuck between indecisiveness of just running back home or not and trying to figure this out on his own because he already trusts Harry!) and Kim allowing himself for ONCE in his life to be held and loved and pampered and cooed at without shame. BUT I also love the idea of this happening to the others too, like Harry immediately using this to get to know what Kim is like behind closed doors, feeling guilty but also just can’t help but still go and try to get adopted by Kim (newsflash, it takes FOREVER for Kim to finally let Kitty-Harry inside his apartment, and even LONGER for Kim to officially adopt Kitty-Harry, (bonus points if Kim is still in/at precinct 57) but then ! Kim wants to introduce Harry to his cat! uh-oh! Kitty-Harry also kinda afraid of Jean’s reaction to Kitty-Harry but going to be nosy anyways and turns out — Jean is a big animal lover! It barely takes any convincing for Jean to decide to adopt Harry. Harry feeling jealous that he doesn’t get this soft side of Jean but also gives Harry a new perspective on Jean overall. Que Kitty-Harry awkwardly being owned by two of his friends and THEN also imagine them both talking about the cat they own and finding out it’s the same kitty and they both feel sorta backstabbed(?) or are like ‘wow my/our cat isn’t loyal…’ Jean as a Kitty sounds very amusing… just hissing and very annoyed that they don’t clock it right away that it’s him! Knocking over mugs to get their attention and whatnot, getting scolded and put in kitty jail.. :( !
- SWAP AU! Do I really have to go into detail here? I love the idea of a ‘very, very sane’ Harrier du bois and just an absolutely pathetic failure of Kim Kitsuragi in the swap au… shout out to @/Danielcalmdown0 on Twitter for the new perspective/dynamic on this au!! Kim doesn’t own the kineema in this au because they gave it to a more dedicated officer and Kim is just… absolutely heartbroken over it, but also a bit petty and jealous like ‘I WOULDVE TAKEN CARE OF IT THE BESTEST!’ I wish people discussed Jean and Harry’s relationship in this au more though! I like to think in this particular au they would have a bit of a more father-son dynamic?? MAYBE? not necessarily father-son, but something close for sure, just older figure Jean looks up too… (Maybe Harry baby’s or coddles Jean too much in this au and it PISSES Jean off.) would he still be his brooding self?! Let’s just say yes. I think Jean would have a bit of a crush on this Harry, of course he denies it to himself but it’s there, until Kim joins the picture then its pathetic loser vs pathetic loser and Harry wanting them to be friends but it doesn’t really work to much at first… they figure it out later though. IDK! I have a lot of ideas! And a lot of them contradict eachother!
I have alot more ideas. But I been typing for far too long so I’m gonna call it wraps. If you read the entirety of this I love you. AND if you’re a writer… and you get inspired by ANY of these and if you write it?? Please let me know! I would love to read it!

I’ve not seen this specific topic discussed when people talk about Disco Elysium yet so I’d like to mention it cause I think it’s so so so cool.
So Harry ripped the shit out of that poor poor Skua right? Garte thinks Sylvie did it because she was angry at him but that’s not the case at all, Harry was just super fucked up and took his mad anger rage out on that little taxidermy’d bird.
This detail is largely irrelevant to most things, merely showing how much of a roiling mass of sadness Harry was before we met him (and giving Garte another reason to be sad).
But dear reader, what if I told you it could have far reaching symbolic significance. Let me explain.
Joyce says:
“Proof of reality”, and our little Harrier in an attempt to destroy his being and erase himself from reality, brutally breaks the insulinde’s symbol of that proof right before losing himself in a sea of neurotoxin, forgetting all that ties him here.
Is that anything? Idk, I just think it could be cool
It’s also a symbol of hope and stuff, Harry’s hope being destroyed (he himself killing the bird symbolising hope and new beginnings)
BUT through the progress of the game we can repair that hope in a new way, not by easily fixing the old Skua, but by finding a new bird, the Ruffled Grouse. A different sort of hope for a different sort of Harry. A New New New New start for him, if you will. Proof that Harry can change and feel bad about the awful things he has done/ does, isn’t that nice?
It’s also a symbol of the advent of Dolorianism which is also fun to draw parallels to. 51’ is a shit time to be living in Revachol, so maybe it’s time to shake things up a bit get ‘Le Retour’ going and do away with Dolorianism, usher in a new age by stamping on the old imperial one, let’s hope Harry’s an Innocence or something. (and hopefully a Harry that is now removed from Delores and hopefully on a path of truly moving on from her, like Jesus SIX YEARS dude)
That’s all I wanted to say, I’m sure other people have said similar things about this, I just think it’s nice to draw parallels between things in this subtext rich game.

One of the best genres in fiction is the noir-core convergent evolution collection of profoundly alcoholic, utterly dysfunctional, dangerously unstable, tormented, and wildly out-of-control chain-smoking renegade super-detective geniuses named Harry who cause ludicrous amounts of property damage in their obsessive and self-destructively-reckless fixation on Solving The Case and Getting Their Man, NO 👏 MATTER 👏 WHAT 👏 IT 👏 TAKES 👏
Irrevocably anguished in equal measures by the scumbags that he couldn't put away, the innocents that he couldn't save, the systems that failed him, and the dame that broke his soul, it's been 0 days since his last internal monologue, 1 day since his last fistfight, 2 days since his last sleep, 4 days since his last shave, 8 days since his last shower, 16 days since his overdue rent was due, and 32 days since his last bender.
COUNTERBALANCE WITH SAFE/SANE/CONSENSUAL SIDEKICKS TO TASTE
Shown here:
Lieutenant double-yefreitor Harrier "Harry" Du Bois, of the video game 'Disco Elysium'.
Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, wizard and private investigator, of the 'Dresden Files' series of novels.
Inspector Harold "Dirty Harry" Francis Callahan, of the 'Dirty Harry' film series.
Norwegian police officer Harry Hole, of the eponymous novel series and film adaptation.
(I discovered this guy exists only, like, an hour ago, but I'll be damned if he doesn't fit in perfectly right alongside the rest of these Loose-Cannon Lawmen)
"Dirty Harry" came along first, so I suspect he set the mould and the other three are in homage to some degree or another... 🤔

Her Innocence Dolores Dei. I just love this entire scene so I wanted to try drawing it. getting the illusion of the window glowing was kind of hard to get right but it is really good at hiding the drawing mistakes under the blur. First I wanted to draw Kim there too but I got lazy and realized it looks better and more personal with just Harrier there. Also I made the crack in the glass bigger so I didn't have to paint all the other stuff besides Dolores. One of my Favorite pieces.

Kārember (Flying-Fire) ,Circombust and Scorchaast. (Steel-Fire)
Kārember are small and highly manoeuvrable fliers, barnstormers and daredevils who spend their days honing their flight skills and fire powers deep in Ãrohwas forests to become defenders of the innocent and in need, though at present many take to delivering news to those with more experience or authority if trouble arise,baby steps yknow...
Circombust are more experienced fliers and love to show off their skills to crowds, often tourists who come up to the Ãrohwan wilds to catch a glimpse of the rare pokemon and the most frequently spotted of its evolutionary line as a consequence, though despite their showoffy nature, they will not hesitate to jump into action at injustice, an audience witnessing its heroic deed being a nice bonus.
Scorchaast are the lords of the Ãrohwan skies, their internal furnaces now enabling them to jet across the sky faster than the speed of sound, and hitting with steel,fire and flying attacks even harder. Despite all this power like the similarly armoured knights of old these pokemon are deeply honourable warriors, and despite many desiring a Scorchaast for their own teams they only pick trainers with a similarly moral attitude towards humans and pokemon alike, lest the old tale about a Scorchaast being strong enough to carry a human in a single claw be put to the test...
A few days ago @glimwood-tangle-national-park reblogged this previous post and said that they'd love to have a falcon to help them take out Weasoil akin to the invasive mink in their native Scotland, lucky for them I have just the pokemon for the job, and then some...
This pokemon actually started out as a starter concept that I liked so much I couldn't bear to completely can (not wanting a second bird-based starter line), so some revisions later here they are as the first avian psuedo-legendaries!
Ihope you like these designs and all likes and reblogs for my art are always appreciated!
Design inspiration down below:
If it wasn't obvious by the name Scorchaast and its pre-evolutions are based on the birds of prey of New Zealand and Polynesia, with secondary inspiration coming from various sorts of warplanes and pilot uniforms from across recent history.
Kārember (Kārearea/Kāiaia, maori names for the new zealand falcon + ember) is based on falcons, the only falcon native to New Zealand as well as ornithopters and early fixed wing aircraft.
Circombust (combust + Circus, the genus name for harrier birds) is based on the Swamp Harrier and the Eyles Harrier, the former a cosmopolitan native to much of south asia and Australia as well as the south pacific and the latter a larger, extinct relative endemic to New Zealand as well as world war two-era monoplanes.
Scorchaast (scorch + haast) is based on the Haasts Eagle, famously the largest Eagle known to ever live and modern jet fighter aircraft.
(As a final side note,if the red and grey colours of scorchaast remind you of a certain treacherous jet robot, it was very much intentional being the transformers fan i am, I also like the idea of Scorchaast's shiny being either black and purple or blue and red as an homage to the jet transformers skywarp and thundercracker, themselves famous examples of palette swaps)

thinking about the soft horror of Kim/Innocence Harry/Revachol
to be loved by a city, something labyrinthine and full with so many lives and voices
and walls and streets wrought out of blood and war and shit and tears
to be held by its many arms, to hear your name on the same wind that carries black lung around Coal City, to be loved by the best and worst parts of someone’s vast soul

Pre-drabble :)
the gears are turning. they are turning. they are SO turning. the fanfic brain is working. and leland is my next target (/pos). so here's a prequel drabble to something that hasnt even been written yet!
Cw: they're so fucking cringe and in love ugh i can't eyeroll (i can)
Survivor!Leland x Afab!Reader (third person)
There was something about her smile. Something so sweet. So innocent. Reminded him of the girls in college. The ones who were in sororities, who'd never faced any sort of trouble- a shiny, practically gleaming, shimmering smile. The kind of smile that your childhood best friend would have.
He could remember a time when he smiled like that. Untouched by the world. Practically on top of the world. He didn't see that kind of smile anymore. He'd stopped seeing them years ago. Stopped searching for them.
He still tried to give that kind of smile, to wear his classic cheesy grin, but people knew, and people talked. People didn't believe his smiles, so he'd stopped giving them. But he was smiling now. Not a toothy grin, but he was smiling. And she was talking, and rambling about a childhood story, and he could've listened forever.
"Oh, there I go again. I'm sorry, what was your question?" She laughed, scratching the right side of her neck.
Leland shook his head. "That's alright, it was a good story. I just wanted to know if you had any extra bags," he asked, looking down at the small container hooked onto her hip, and she nodded.
"Yeah, of course!" She reached into the container, removing a thing plastic film. He took it from her, slipping it into his pocket. "Is he a rescue?"
The man looked down at the gray dog by his ankle, who wagged his tail and looked back up at his owner. "Yeah, he is. Harrier?" He asked, motioning towards the white and brown dog by her side. Her jaw dropped, and she scoffed, pressing a hand to her chest.
"Damn! You're good. Most people assume she's a beagle mutt. How'd you know?" She asked, and he shrugged.
"Been 'round a lotta dogs. You start to pick things up."
"Do you work with them or something?"
"Uh, you could say that, yeah. I help out at a shelter sometimes," he chuckled. "May I?"
"Yeah, totally. She's super friendly," she giggled. Both of them knelt down, and she ran her palm over the mutt's head, and then her fingers came underneath the bottom of his jaw, scratching underneath his neck. "Oh, he's precious," she cooed, her smile somehow growing at the interaction.
He was staring, and he looked back at the Harrier in front of him, who tenderly sniffed his hand. The smaller dog seemed hesitant, and he took his time, only patting her head when he was sure she wouldn't be caught off guard by it. His head tilted, finding the dog somewhat familiar. "Is she a rescue, too?"
"Yeah, I got her about a year ago," the girl replied, letting out an umph as Jacs' head slammed into her shoulder, demanding more pats.
"Jacs, easy," he commanded, but the dog seemed to have caught onto the same magnetism that he did. She didn't complain, simply gave him a kiss on his snout and rubbed along his neck. "Is she from the shelter on the corner of Hansen?"
She looked over at him, and both of them realized how close they were. He took a small step backwards with his knees, and she merely looked away, returning her attention to Jacs. "Yeah, she is. Why?"
"That's where I volunteer," he chuckled. "Kelly, right?"
She laughed, shaking her head. "No way. I mean- yes, but I couldn't let them get away with giving a dog such a human name. Her name's peanut," she giggled, and he couldn't seem to take his smile off of his lips.
It wasn't long before his smile was on your lips too, enjoying the small vibrations of your giggles against his mouth. It drew laughter- real, genuine laughter from him, and you lay on his chest, your head turning to glance at the two dogs on one large dog bed, curled up against one another. There was quiet country music coming from a stereo in the kitchen, filling the air with a sort of domestic tranquility.
"Lee?"
"Yeah, sweetheart?"
"I think we should move in together," you said, and his heart fluttered at the thought. He didn't reply immediately, so you continued. "It's just- Peanut and Jacs get along really well, and my lease will be up soon anyways, I mean, not that I need to move in with you, I can always find somewhere else, but-"
"I'd love to," he assured, running his hand up your back. You smiled again, your charming, impossibly sunny smile, and he wanted to kiss you, but he feared that he'd ruin the smile. So instead, he brushed his nose against yours, and you giggled once more.
You suddenly sat up, rolling off of his body and darting into the kitchen, turning the knob on the stereo. "Sing it, Glen!" You laughed, cranking the volume up loud enough that the dogs woke up, stirring from their sleep. Leland sat up, watching as you twirled your way over towards him, outstretching a hand.
He took it, and you yanked him off of the couch, holding it as you twirled.
"Get a house in the hills, you're payin' everyone's bills," you sang, and Leland laughed, joining in with you.
"Country boy, you got your feet in L- Ow, Jacs," Leland grunted, stumbling on his feet as the large dog pawed at him, his tail harshly wacking into Lee's ankle. Peanut barked, jumping up, and you reached down, picking up the dog and twirling with her. Jacs barked, and Leland reached down, rubbing the dogs head, laughing as he did so.
Peanut was placed back onto the floor, and Leland held out a hand, which you took without hesitation. The two of you danced together for a while longer until the song came to a close, and Leland pulled you in close, simply hugging you, appreciating you. And you hugged him back, your hands sliding up his back, but you heard his breath hitch, and you moved them back down.
His smile was soft, and you gave him a gentle squeeze. Pressing a kiss to the top of your head, he let out a gentle "I love you so much, baby."
"I love you too, Lee," you replied, enjoying his warmth for a while longer before you finally pulled away. "Dinner?"
"Hmm... Grilled cheese?" He asked, and you nodded.
"Sounds great."

Name: Valka Lanius Hadley (she/her/hers) Occupation: Butcher Age: 45 Sexuality: Chaotic Bisexual Species: Hunter Affiliation: Fellowship Hometown: Boston, Massachusetts Relationship Status: Single Personality Traits: Abrasive, brash, intolerant, spontaneous, entertaining, loud, loyal (if you've earned it)
Biography (tw trauma, death, cannibalism):
Lanius : the typical shrikes, are a genus of passerine birds in the shrike family Laniidae. The majority of the family's species are placed in this genus. The genus name, Lanius, is derived from the Latin word for "butcher", and some shrikes are also known as "butcher birds" because of their feeding habits.
The Hadley family were hunters by blood. Proud of it too. Their bond was strong, and they fought for and alongside one another. Didn't matter when the youngest Hadley found herself pregnant from a one night stand, her older brothers Soren, Arlo, and Franklin stepped in to protect her and help raise the boy she birthed -- Roan Harrier Hadley. From the day he came into the world, he was her little Hero, and she couldn't wait to show him how to be strong.
Her father Winslow was a proud man. Valka was always a bit of a renegade, old enough to have the wisdom and maturity of the legacy hunters, but young enough to remember how to relax and relate to her young son as he did all the things kids should do. He'd be a hunter in his own time. The family was Brotherhood, distinguished and disciplined and occasionally forgetful of the realities of growing up in the world whether there were monsters or not.
But even that legacy of hunting couldn't save them from losing someone.
It was late one winter, when guards were lowered. Valka doesn't know how they got through, but she has never forgiven herself (or them) for the pain they caused -- a vicious pack of wolves stole her son. It was his birthday. Valka was the first one calling for swift revenge, bloody and immediate. But her older brothers insisted on due process. Winslow cautioned her not to rush to recklessness. Due process, for the monsters that were going to kill her? It was the first crack in the shining front of the Brotherhood for her. What good was power and a promise to end the darkness if it couldn't help them the one time it mattered most?
Loss wasn't uncommon in their line of work, but their near-denial of it began to eat away at Valka. She ran herself ragged looking for her boy -- it felt like her world had been ripped away and all she knew now was hunting. She redoubled her efforts into exterminating wolves and vampires wherever she could find them, with a growing disdain for witches too despite the tenuous alliances established between covens and cadres. She wasn't so impulsive as to take on the offending pack herself alone, without the backing of her family, but Val kept searching for the wolves who abducted her child.
Valka was pushed to an extreme -- to eliminate every monster before they could take any more lives, or breed and spread their curses like vermin. To do anything less was to admit the Brotherhood were useless bureaucrats who couldn't even do their damn jobs right. Even when all logic told her her boy was dead, she kept searching. Because if she couldn't have him back, she'd avenge him and take her pound of flesh from every stinking bastard that ever laid a finger on an innocent person.
She swiftly broke from the Brotherhood, leaving the Hadley family behind in all but name, to become one of the founding members of the Fellowship. Their creed was supernatural elimination at all costs. Even witches, who were mostly tolerated by the Brotherhood, had only few uses when it came to combating creatures of the night. To leave them alive was dangerous, increasingly so.
Valka moved up and down the eastern seaboard with her new brothers in arms, trying to recruit Hunters new and old to their cause. The vampire and werewolf infestations multiplied by the day, meaning they'd have to be vigilant and decisive in the actions that older, more established Hunters refused to take. Valka even tried and failed to mentor another young Hunter who found her beliefs too extreme. But no one could truly understand her pain.
Her hunt brought her out to Port Leiry within the last year, a well-known hotbed of supernatural activity, hoping to cut it off at its source with allied Fellowship hunters from the burgeoning branch of their organization. But along the way, something changed -- her hopes of finding her son quietly smothered beneath the cathartic rage of killing. About three years ago, she quietly accepted Roan was likely long dead. But as long as monsters still lived, she would continue her fight.
Anger and hatred fueled her at every turn, but even her history of hunting had no relation to the sordid habits she picked up in her time fighting monsters. Butchering was a good outlet for her frustrations -- but when legal animal meat wasn't cutting it anymore, she experimented with the flesh of her victims. The monstrous kind, who were no better than game to her.
Val doesn't eat every kill, but she saves special ones for her crass culinary experiments. She's filleted werewolves under the full moon and those in their human guises (they're most tender under the waning crescent). Vampires are best kept fresh and eaten raw like sashimi -- their second death renders them entirely too corpselike for anything else. The only creatures she won't eat are witches, their various magicks tainting the meat, though their blood has other uses and she won't deny they know their way around herbs that pair nicely with the rarer cuts.
Why not use these damnable things to fuel her hunts? If nothing else, it left her victims in a final state that Valka had always believed they were -- just pieces of shit.
Physical Stats:
Height: 5'5"
Weight: None of your damn business
Tattoos: Her original Brotherhood mark on her left wrist, a Fellowship mark on the nape of her neck, and a tribal-style cuff on her right arm. (IYKYK)
Scars: Tons, everywhere, very sexy. Mostly not the face. One on the lower lip. The rest are for you to find out.
Notable Features: Valka's lower left leg has been amputated below the knee and she uses a prosthetic limb, walking with a slight limp. She also has missing her right eye and has a highly detailed false eye that may be imbued with some magical qualities. Both of these disabilities were results of her hunting, both justifying her hardened world view and making her style of fighting even more frenzied to compensate for a lose of finesse.
Other:
Valka has a motorcycle she calls "Baby".
She hates all supernatural entities pretty fiercely, but she hates werewolves the most. Not just because of the personal vendetta, but she finds them the most dangerous and hardest to control.
Valka has a pet staffy dog that, contrary to popular assumption, has nothing to do with her hunting. His name is Bolillo, he is a house hippo, and he is very well fed and an absolute baby.
Wanted Connections:
I've Got Your Eye On You - A witch who managed to get their magical mitts on the glass eye inside Valka's head before it was implanted, placing a hard to detect backdoor spell on it that allows someone else to see through her eye. This requires communication so as not to induce god-modding. But it's a fun liability she doesn't realize she has currently. - @whisperdreams-blair Fresh Meat - Valka sells meat and blood in an honest shopfront, but there's always the hope her little enterprise will snag a supernatural client she can torment later. And of course, for those of more acquired tastes, she's happy to share what she's acquired with Hunters who can be trusted. She suspects not too many people share her strange appetites, though. General: Chaotic romantic flings, targets, fellow Hunters
Established Connections:
Roan Harrier Hadley (@sntshadleys) - Flesh of my Flesh Anika Booker (@anikabooker) - You Remind Me Of Someone I Cared About

Name: Ysayle Dangoulain Alias:: Lady Iceheart, Shiva Species: Elezen Height: 6’3 Age: 24 Birthday: First Umbral Moon, 17 (2/19) Gender: Female Orientation: Demisexual Hometown: Falcon's Nest/Tailfeather Occupation: Leader of the Heretic Group
Physical appearance:
Ysayle is an Elezen woman with pale skin, long flowing gray hair, icy blue eyes, and pale blue lips. Unlike the other heretics, she wears a blue jacket with a skirt. This does not change unless she transforms into Shiva or is given other clothing.
Personality:
Ysayle is devoted to her cause in ending the Dragonsong War, going so far as to take the lives of innocents for her goal. Although she is fervent on her ways she is not afraid to learn the truth, and will not back down from her decisions. Though Ysayle at first appears to be the zealous leader of the Ishgardian Heretics that the Holy See branded her as, she only desired to end the Dragonsong War and unite dragon and man in peace. Disdain for the orthodox leadership for propagating a lies to the people, Ysayle is not someone who wants total destruction. She only seeks the truth to be revealed and peace be restored between man and dragon.
Her role as the leader of the Heretics shrouds a lonely soul, as after losing her family and people in an avalanche, Ysayle desired only for the warmth of companionship.
As an idealist for peace and for Ishgard to answer for their crimes against dragonkind, Ysayle often gets into arguments with those who prefer to make war upon their foes.
Originally, Ysayle possessed a deep faith in Saint Shiva, revering her for her sacrifice in bringing peace between Man and Dragon. She even believed herself to be the reincarnation of the woman. Even after her faith is shattered, Ysayle believes that man and dragon can live in peace again.
Story:
Ysayle manifested the Echo at young age. While frightened of seeing visions of a woman and dragons, the Seventh Umbral Era buried her hometown of Falcon's Nest and Ysayle's people sought refuge in Ishgard. They were turned down and everyone Ysayle knew and loved died in an avalanche. She went to Dravania where she met the dragon from her visions, Hraesvelgr, before meeting Marcechamp and making her home in Tailfeather.
Ysayle learned of the nature of her visions as she resolved to restore the peace between her people and the dragons so no child would suffer as she did. Under the name of Lady Iceheart, she gained a following of heretics dedicated to Saint Shiva that became active throughout Coerthas during the Seventh Astral Era. She lead the heretics—those who have pledged their allegiance to the dragons. Denouncing the teachings of the Holy See, she means to end the Dragonsong War. Like the adventurer, she is one of Hydaelyn's chosen.
While rarely appearing, Ysayle makes her presence known when she has the heretics waylaid shipments of crystals, with Alphinaud Leveilleur learning her plan to summon Saint Shiva as a primal, and alerts the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. With the new crisis, the Scions and Crystal Braves join the Temple Knights in infiltrating the Harriers den around Snowcloak.
After encountering the Warrior of Light, Ysayle introduces herself, she states her intention to end the Dragonsong War. Disabled her destination aetheryte, she proceeds to Akh Afah Amphitheatre. Believing she is summoning Saint Shiva's spirit, Ysayle transforms into the primal Shiva. After forced back to her original form, Ysayle condemns the Warrior of Light as a blind fool like those in Ishgard. However, she imparts that she and the Warrior are the same, as they both have “Mother’s (Hydaelyn) gift.”
Ysayle reappears when she and her harriers break the outermost ward of Daniffen's Collar at the Gates of Judgement, but escape when Nidhogg attacks. Ysayle confronts the Warrior of Light at Coerthas Western Highlands and Midgardsormr appears before her, much to her surprise. He tells her that while their goals are the same, their paths are different, and reveals he knows she possesses the echo. She regrets the loss of innocent life in her last attack, having underestimated the rancor in the hearts of the dragons. Ysayle explains the story of the Dragonsong War to the Warrior of Light and why she wants to end it before taking her leave.
In a plan to travel in hope of trying to resolve the matters between Ishgard and Dravania peacefully, Ysayle reveals the story of Saint Shiva and Hraesvelgr and two-hundred long peace that was broken by King Thordan, and that Nidhogg's stolen eye is the cause of the war. Estinien reveals to her the true reason not being just his eye, and Ysayle agrees to take them to Churning Mists where Hraesvelgr has sequestered himself.
Finding their path blocked until the voracious Gnath and their primal god, Ravana, are dealt with, Ysayle accompanies the Warrior of Light and challenges him to a duel to have him order the Gnath to halt their campaign. When Ravana accepts, Ysayle assumes her primal form to engage him in combat. She overestimates her strength and is defeated. Though the Warrior of Light is victorious, her confidence is shaken. The party heads to Sohm Al, regrettably being forced to kill Nidhogg's mate Tioman along the way.
Arriving in the Churning Mists, they find Hraesvelgr who refuses to aid them as Nidhogg's fury will never be sated until every Ishgardian is either dead or converted into a dragon. Though Ysayle attempts to persuade Hraesvelgr by claiming that she is the soul of Shiva reborn, Hraesvelgr laughs off her delusion and reveals the "Shiva" whose form she assumed was nothing more than "a deity of [her] own making." This shatters Ysayle's faith, and she remains behind while the Warrior of Light and Estinien travel to The Aery to confront Nidhogg.
After defeating Nidhogg, the party returns to Hraesvelgr with Ysayle learning the dragon gave his eye to his brother to have his war. Wrecked by this further betrayal, and unable to understand Hraesvelgr's emotions on the subject, Ysayle condemns the dragon for his actions before he orders her to leave while the influence of Shiva's soul allows him to show mercy. Accompanying the Warrior of Light to Ishgard, Ysayle talks the heretics into falling back by revealing Nidhogg's death and the time for the peace they fought for has come.
Having made her peace with Hraesvelgr before he is alerted by Estinien's use of the Eye of Nidhogg, Ysayle rides on the greatwyrm's back to aid the Enterprise when it comes under assault by the Garlean airship Gration. Intent to atone for spilling blood in the name of a "false cause", Ysayle jumps off Hraesvelgr and transforms into Shiva a final time to assault the Gration with Hraesvelgr's dragons as her support. Though she disables the Garlean airship enough for them to stop their pursuit of the Enterprise while her aides are destroyed, Ysayle is blasted out of the sky by cannonfire and falls while reverting to her original form. Dying, she broke up into a luminous, blue aether that spills into the heavens.
When the Warrior of Light and Alphinaud attempt to wrest the eyes of Nidhogg from the armor of Estinien to separate him from the wyrm, a noncorporeal being in the form of Ysayle lays their hand upon Alphinaud's own. The eyes are removed from the armor, presumably with the aid of Ysayle and Haurchefant.
However, due to the souls resonating with the Warrior of Light and the desire to repent for their failings, Hydaelyn gave Ysayle a second chance at life.
Condensing her aether from the Lifestream in a similar manner of that to a primal, Ysayle awoke once more within Dravania, confused and surprised that she could exist. Barely remembering helping the Warrior of Light with the eyes of Nidhogg, it was through her influence that the remaining heretics in the Forelands were sent to Ishgard to lend a hand in the Restoration.
She typically remains in the icy tundra, seeking out other ways to maintain peace, disguising herself when she visits Ishgard.
