Yes! Oh, was there an specific reason for Floyd and Rook to give your ocs their nicknames?

Basil: He's mostly called a Narwhal because of either that these creatures can be smart, or it's just to tell him that while yes, Narwhals can be aggressive (but only when provoked), Floyd sees him as someone fun to squish when he's in a good mood. Also, Narwhals are known to live in colder climates and Basil is said to dislike the summer weather. Rook's nickname for Basil just means that he's aware that the oldest Spellman brother is a person who's very knowledgeable on what he does. A savant.

Magus: He has traits similar to how an Orca acts in his opinion. Overall, Floyd can see through his act and would probably call him Orca in place of someone calling Magus a big puppy (in a non complementing way). The other nickname is mostly associated with how Magus is great at picking out ingredients for cooking and such.

Cosmo: Dolphins are very sociable and tend to be very curious! Which really matches with Cosmo, but this creature can also be a little scary when it wants to be... Cosmo usually doesn't show others his unique magic, but sometimes he can slip up and that is what happened when Rook saw him use it. He was already going to call him that because Cosmo did like to sing, but after that it was just even more appropriate.

Rasmus: Being called a Leafy Sea Dragon is just a way to call him out because it is known that these seahorses live solitary lives. It should also be noted that they can camouflage, but it depends on certain things, one of them being stress. And usually, there are times where Rasmus won't leave his room due to stress. Again, it ties in with Rasmus someone who is rather distant and does play into his more melancholy traits. Yeah, a lonely heart indeed.

Morpheus: Dragon Slugs are known for going after very dangerously venomous organisms like the man o' war which honestly is like Morpheus who parades around and doesn't really care who he encounters or makes conversation with. Neither does he dwell too much on certain consequences. It should be said that this creatures stung does pack a punch... An instigator and bringer or chaos, what more can you ask? XD Morpheus is one of few Ignihyde students who wanders out of their room more often so Rook usually takes this chance to observe him (since these students barely leave the dorm...).

Emil: It is said that King Penguins tend to communicate through vocalizing and performing with physical behavior that is called displays. They can be social (like Emil), but also are prone to fighting. The other nickname was because of the fact that Rook found out that Emil would keep certain flowers for new tea brews. It was an interesting sight to say the least.

Random questions about your muse Copy and paste. Do not reblog.

Name: William (Bill) Cipher (putting that here based on his constellation)

1. Do they believe in true love?

“Not exactly. That’s fairy tail stuff.”

(the exception being one of his romance timelines. As he accepts it as real at that point)

2. Do they believe that their life has meaning?

“Yes and no.”

(Bill is a proud/narcissistic demon so at times he believes he is the most important creature around. Other times however his depression kicks in and he wants to die. Even though Bill knows it’s impossible as he is immortal. A tough lesson after what happened to his home.)

3. What first impression do they give when they first meet someone?

(Usually that he’s energetic/eccentric and can be loud. This tends to be annoying to people but others might find it endearing.)

4. Do they believe in heaven/hell?

“Only if Heaven is that space Axolotl keeps for human souls after death. And the Nightmare Realm, which I run, could be considered Hell.”

(He’s a demon lord/chaos deity. So I guess to some level, maybe)

5. Five things that irritate them?

“One: Heroes/Would be heroes. Annoying pests.”

“Two: Machines. Although I suppose there could be some exceptions.”

“Three: Tickles.”

“Four: Idiocy.”

(Five is hard to come up with... So just have these four.)

6. First kiss?

“Hard to say. I didn’t always have my own body and I’m not sure a possession counts.”

7. What do they find funny that others usually don’t?

“Torture, murder, manipulation, honestly I could go on for days.”

8. Biggest regret?

“I’m not some sentimental fool.”

(Destroying his home/killing any possible family he had. And hurting Ford Pines. Despite his denial of feelings, he did consider Ford a close friend.)

9. Three words that best describe them?

Intelligent, Selfish, Terrifying

10. Their most attractive feature?

(not sure how to answer this one...)

11. The feature that they find most attractive?

“I find my intellect to be one of my best features. But if you mean something more physical... I’d go with my eyes. Which are like liquid flames!”

12. Favorite song lyric?

“Tough choice. There’s quite a few.”

(I have several he’d like and it’s hard to pick..)

13. Best advice they’ve ever received?

“Probably something Axolotl said. Hard to pick just one thing when there’s many years to sift through.”

14. Worst advice they’ve ever received?

“Once again it’s hard to say. There’s just too much history. Curse of being immortal.”

15. What makes them cry?

“.... Next question.”

(Reminding him of what he’s lost. Either with his home or with Ford. He’ll deny caring and will most likely hide away somewhere. However Bill truly did care for Ford and that’s what hurts. Knowing he messed up beyond repair.)

16. Hardest decision they ever had to make?

“... Moving on.”

17. What makes them fond of someone?

“Personality. If they’re a nerd it’s a bonus. And a sense of humor is a must.”

18. Do they believe in forgiveness?

“Yes. Whether or not someone deserves it is another story.”

“Intellectual stimulation is always good. But pain is also fun.”

(He’s pretty demi/asexual so this is about as far as it goes)

20. Biggest turn off?

(not sure how to answer this)

21. Any fetishes/kinks?

“That depends on what wrapping people in chains, torture and nightmares count as.”

(Again not quite sure what to say. He’s demisexual)

22. Do they have a perception of god?

“I actually talk with Axolotl so... Not sure that counts as a perception.”

23. A memory from their childhood that shaped them?

“I can’t remember that far back. Everything before the calamity is just... Fuzzy. But I will share this. Axolotl is the one who taught me how to create dreams.”

24. Birthday and zodiac sign?

“July 26 and Leo.”

(I picked that because of the gemstone and the Leo personality just works for him. Plus it’s a fire sign)

Something I wanted to ask you a few days ago but then you suddenly actually fucked off to the South Pole: Can I ask about your tabletop characters? I know there's Rasmus and a someone named Lisbeth, I think? Do you have more? I'm always up and eager to hear about fruits born from your disaster head.

I do not have more, it’s those two, my beautiful shit children. Rasmus is for my DnD game and Lisbeth is for my Fate Core game. It’d be A PLEASURE to regale you with The Lore:

If you’ve read my tabletop blogging posts, and you likely have given you’re asking about the good ol’ lovable Human Rogue, then you’re already somewhat familiar with Rasmus Kasper Istre. A 24 year old charlatan and swindler through and through, back in his port hometown, Rasmus was a notorious “fortune teller” that scammed many tourists and merchants, an act made easier by the innate superstitious nature of sailors, and while his daggers are sharp, it’s his creativity that cuts deeper, fighting being his very last option as he will always attempt to fool, sabotage and trick others first, only brandishing harm if there’s no other choice. In stark contrast with his enthusiasm when it comes to taking money from others, Rasmus is vehemently opposed to taking lives unless it’s on self-defense or if the one relinquishing their life deserves it, a philosophy he sticks to even if it bites him in the ass. This is, in fact, what triggers his escape from his town: He swindled the riches right out of a big-time Elf magnate, disabled his bodyguard that came gunning for him some time later and even had the perfect chance to off him, yet refused to do so because, as he learned during his time hiding from him, the magnate is actually a really honest if grumpy guy who treats his subordinates fairly and with love, and he’s not about to take that life, opting instead to hit the road. He used to dual wield daggers, but lost one of the daggers during a sky-high encounter with wyvern riders, using an enchanted gauntlet imbued with lightning in the spur of the moment to fight with fist and blade, and he liked how it worked out, so now he uses the lightning gauntlet to deliver close-range blasts and electric grapples with the left hand while his deft dagger whistles with each swipe and lunge of his right. To not inconvenience himself and others, he wears a half cape draped over his left arm so he can touch things and people without thundershocking them or having to remove the gauntlet and risk being ambushed (wearing a glove in the middle of a fight is kinda hard!). He loves wearing cologne, especially one made with ghostshroom extract that he makes himself. People hate the strong smell of it at first but it sort of grows into them like an acquired taste or Stockholm Syndrome, and his favorite foods are juniper berries and beef jerky. Rasmus is 177 centimeters tall, has curly light brown hair, dull green eyes, wears his beard as a stubble, and has an average, fit build. Do NOT call him “Kasper” unless you’re in the mood for a bar fight. Mostly wears leather armor and has a thing for the color green.

Rasmus is childhood friends with Claudia, the party’s Human Wizard, and the two often snipe at each other with affectionate vitriol, although their attempts to screw the other over with money are very real. No hard feelings, though, that’s what it meant to grow poor in a port town, it’s your fault if something is taken from you. He doesn’t always see eye to eye with the Halfling Ranger (Ranger is rather kill-happy, which doesn’t sit well with Rasmus), and is buddy-buddy with the Orc Barbarian, especially when brothels and taverns are concerned. He currently is invested in helping the Orc Barbarian with his character arc whenever he can, as well as furthering his own Money Quest after accidentally starting a religion, the Solar Sect (it’s a long story). After enough deeds, the party received the blessings from Phantom Animal Lords from the wilderness, with Rasmus’ title being “Rabbit”; This is an inside joke referring to how my DM and the rest of my DnD group call Rasmus “Bugs Bunny” due to his trademark outlandish and creative ways of setting up the board to the party’s advantage and problem solving. Among his faithful, he is known as the Augur-spoken Prophet, and it’s really, really spiraling out of control. Initially, Rasmus and Claudia were supposed to hate each other, but Claudia’s player and I, IRL friends since a long time now, decided to make them shitlord friends instead. We were very involved with the creation of both characters and develop them continuously together now. Check the “Rasmus” tag in my blog for more anecdotes of his balls to the walls DnDventures.

Some of his deeds include:

Killing a seemingly unkillable hero by teleporting him high into the sky and letting gravity do the work, using a circumstantial item.

Strapping the corpse of said unkillable hero to a greatshield and creating an extremely powerful shield for our Barbarian to use whenever we need some nigh invulnerability.

Accidentally started a religion when he was accused of high heresy because he defiled the corpse of a hero by turning him into a shield.

Flirting with an Elf Priestess that turned out to be the magnate’s niece.

Flirting with her further anyway.

Naked Parkour in the Elf capital.

Wrapped his phony crystal ball with a chain and used it as an impromptu weapon after being disarmed, cracking a Chaos Dwarf’s skull with a nat 20 swing.

Earned the ‘Rabbit’ title, which apparently only happens once around every 3000 years, as the Rabbit Phantom Animal Lord is capricious and her favor only goes to those cheeky and cunning enough to both amuse her and impress her. Of all those, he’s apparently the second Human to ever have earned the title. Rasmus wears it with pride.

The other is Lisbeth Elstad. Now, you’re no doubt thinking to yourself “Wow! No one has a name like that!” And you’re right! Consider that a stage name, or a pseudonym, if you will. In a setting that takes place in the real world after magic and everything from beyond turned out to be real and has suddenly become widespread public knowledge, 19 year old Lisbeth is incredibly inept at even the most basic magic tasks with two exceptions: Mana Layering, the act of creating sheets, layers, and shells of mana, and Alchemy, the ability to turn one thing into another through meticulous formulas and the Law of Equivalent Exchange. In addition to this narrow scope, Lisbeth has always found it oddly easy when it comes to assembling explosives ranging from homebrew fireworks to high-yield plastic explosive custom formulas such as batches of SEMTEX and C4. Finally, Lisbeth is a natural woman of science, a passionate love for biology, physics and chemistry pulsating within her noodle, unfit body. You could say she’s a Human Alchemist/Bombardier of some sort, but her most heartfelt wish is to become a doctor and pharmaceutic. Now, this probably paints the image of a kind, earnest girl that just wants to help out with a smile, right? Well! That’s not quite it! As noble as she sounds, Lisbeth is quite the thug otherwise. Think of her less as a friendly doctor in the making and more of a really shady back alley doc that looks like she came right out of a The Misfits music video. She tries, oh, lord she does, to come across as classy, eloquent, and elegant, but no matter how much Calvin Klein “One” you spray on a rabid boar, it is still a rabid boar, and as soon as her very little threshold of patience is usurped, the elegant business front crumbles and the reality of a violent, easily angered busybody who happily solves her problems with rocks to the back of the head and high yield explosives lays bare. She’s the foster daughter of a famous nomadic mercenary leader known as the Mercury Witch, leader of the White Silhouette, and worked on board their craft as assistant doctor, with the Witch forbidding Lisbeth of taking part on any training that might foster her latent violent tendencies in hopes of mellowing her out. One day, however, they took on a job in which Lisbeth and her mentor, Melicia, ended up unwittingly making REALLY Bad Drugs instead of the Good Medicine they thought they were making for supernatural creatures, Lisbeth found out, they found out she found out, shit hit the fan, everyone’s MIA.

Not much to say about her yet otherwise, as the game is still in its preliminary phase. Instead, I can tell you about the scrapped 27 year old version of Lisbeth that I heavily modified after we discussed things and realized I had to make her much younger for it to make sense with certain aspects of the plot. This version of Lisbeth is still very much the same in terms of abilities, but has quit the White Silhouette on her own terms and roams around as a masked vigilante that aids supernatural beings oppressed by humans and as a doctor that helps supernatural beings for free. Most of her time is devoted to finding locations that traffic supernaturals or pits them in underground arena fights and dismantles them with the superior firepower and flair of plastic explosives and some good ol’ infiltration. During her time in France, she was suddenly attacked by a girl in traditional Japanese priestess attire, inciting what nearly was a deathmatch between the two of them. As the mystery girl realized Lisbeth wasn’t her target, however, she immediately stopped and apologized. The girl, named Yamaoka Keiko, is a prophet and descendant of the Blind Dragons who could see the future. The problem, she explained, was that her eyes were stolen and replaced with ones that can see, and she hates it. She’s looking for whoever it is stole her blind, silver eyes to claim them back and go back to her peaceful, beloved life of comfortable darkness and peace back in her shrine. Lisbeth, however, seems to have a clue about who it could be that can steal and switch something like eyes without any difficulty, and believing this to be fate as well as her responsibility indirectly, offers to travel with Keiko in search for her eyes. The two become good friends over the course of 18 months of traveling together in this adventure, but Keiko takes an extremely grave wound one day and is left unable to move for a good while, even with all of Lisbeth’s medical knowledge. Finding herself alone and unsure of Keiko’s future, Lisbeth decides to join the official magic law enforcement outfit that she hates in order to gain access to their information network. I’ll probably use this version of Lisbeth for other things, since I don’t wanna scrap it, bwahaha, probably with Glock Elf and TechSlime (and same with Keiko).

Regardless of her version, Lisbeth has an intravenous hose installed inside of her arms that leads to a “cauldron” in her torso, utilizing “internal alchemy” to transform proteins and cells into other chemicals, which she then expels through holes on the palms of her hands. This way, she can spray, say, napalm out of her hands. Since she has absolutely no competence at all in the art of magic but has an innate talent when it comes to chemistry and alchemy, she instead “fakes” magic by creating concoctions with her knowledge. Lisbeth stands at 176 centimeters, has a lanky, thin physique, and wears silver contacts (which is why Keiko thought she had her eyes) and hair dyed a very light creamy blonde. She wears classy suits and long-skirted jumper dresses for the most part, with an Orthrus (two-headed wolf) pelt draped over her shoulders, both heads dangling off her left shoulder. Her choice of attire and appearance, much like her pseudonym, are all part of her “business front”. Despite her bluster, she’s rather cowardly, but also extremely resolute. Lisbeth is the kind of character that would usually be the NPC Shopkeeper that sells you potions and charges you a small fee to fully heal your party, but circumstance has thrown her right into the adventurer’s shoes, and now she has to deal with it crying, screaming, and complaining, but hey, at least she gets to put her knowledge of bombs to good use!
