Cainhurst & Pthumeru family tree (headcanons)

Alright there it is ! @heraldofcrow @8km-2

While I was trying to do one for Cainhurst, I got inspired and ended doing one for Pthumeru and the pthumerians' line as well...

Well the numbers refers more to generations/ when the differents labyrinths were made than actual people. I skipped a few generations too I can't managed to detail it too much with individuals x) So I might use it as a timeline as well.

(yeah thanks to elden ring for me a "shadow" is now a bodyguard in bloodborne too. And the shadow of Yharnam here are either her siblings or close relatives)

Now Cainhurst!

Yes it's a mess too and there's even connections where I am indecisive about (the smaller doted lines) I don't know winch one too choose but feel it's not really urgent too. And idk where to put Arianna... but I have a couple ideas so idk. There's a few ocs I didn't put as well but for now it's not really important.

This one is essentially for my main fic. Because alternatively in some other AUs, I wouldn't be surprised if Annalise, Maria and half of the persons on the paintings are all siblings XD + the lil 10mins idea AU where Gehrman is maria's dad (completely separated universe from this one) I guess it's dear Lady Evelyn that would be the mom x).

Also in my headcanon the symbol of Cainhurst represent the two "beasts" or "shadows" that protected Cain's line (akin to a beast possess soul). And I hc that the first keepers of the old lords/pyromancers that decided to protected the pthumerians royals instead of the gods turned into the first beast possess soul. Then after a while pyromancers managed to stop turning into beats, at least for most of them.

(I just remember this post too that’s why i put loran/pthumeru who separated first)

[fantomette22]

Oh wow OWO

I love it! (I should share my horrible one too xD) damn that’s super cool! I love family tree headcanons! Really interesting. Love all the details & names.

Even if they are mess it’s what made them credible!

(Also I LOVE that Maria as « wolf » as title!!! For me i always link her with the white wolf imagery! So yeah 🤝)

@heraldofcrow get here! And share yours

i wish we could find an item in cainhurst that was connected to maria

Okay, so I still haven't beaten Elden Ring, let alone learning enough, but with DLC approaching let me get the family tree situation straight from what I gathered:

So, Marika was blessed as a demigod and married Godfrey, with whom she had children - twins Mohg and Morgott (that were hidden as shameful secret because they were Omens), possibly many children that were forgotten by now, and Godwyn, from whom Godrick descends, who ALSO has at least 7 'noble scions' who are most likely just his children (lmao got a gene of fucking a lot from Marika bfhdufjfkh)

But also at some point Marika was affected by the curse of giants (displays with very red hair) however this curse is male-exclusive, that caused a conflict and resulted in her sprouting a malesona, Radagon, who married Renalla and had children with her - Rykard, Ranni and Radahn. Radahn coincidentally was a fanboy of Godfrey, Ranni used night of black knives for her goals that also killed Godwyn's soul and her body, and Rykard allowed his pet snake to eat him becoming immortal and had uncountable snake-people children born between him and Daedicar amongst which was Rya who was surprisingly normal, but his legal wife was Tanith and she is adoptive mother of Rya.

But ALSO when Godfrey was declared cringe and fail and Godwyn was lost, Radagon divorced Rennala under excuse of becoming new husband of Marika, but actually the "two" had twin children from themselves - older Miquella and younger Malenia (she addresses Miquella as older brother in Japanese). It is only my interpretation why they are this way but what I think happened is: Miquella was born pure blessed since there was no normie human (like Godfrey) to combat Malenia's blessed genes, therefore it ensured he stopped aging before reaching puberty (so he forever stays 'pure', shining and at peak of energy - that couldn't happen with Marika who wasn't born blessed but was given it, so she was able to reach adulthood). However, this 'blessing' is more like a curse to be honest, like how if you a superhero got TOO much mutation instead of cool and fun superpowers it'd just ruin their body. But since the male side of the same entity was bearing a curse, there was no way for a perfect demigod child to be born, nor a person that didn't deserve the curse could get it, so that left a 'vacant' twin devoid of the golden blessing, and because she never was "protected" by it, that left her vulnerable for Scarlet Rot to settle in her as it's vessel. And she also asexually has 5 daughters because of this (or maybe even 6, if that flower with clothes set near it was secret 6th daughter that bloomed). And they were adopted by that guy in a shack.

...but ALSO, Godfrey had a relative, and Nepheli is his descendant, she is adopted by Gideon though.

Like, that's what I gathered from the situation yet. Correct me if I am wrong somewhere or missed something (...or don't, because I will probably enjoy finding what I missed by myself hahah).

Also, the only thing missing yet is children between Rennala and Godfrey it seems! This would be really cute though, such children would be related to everyone except Miquella and Malenia (though it'd still be crypto-relation because each side shares at least one parent with the twins)

Chapter two of my Bloodborne/Baldur's Gate crossover is out!

Introducing drug induced visions, sinister 'family' encounters, and Creative Use of Mirrors.

To get to Cainhurst from Byrgenwerth requires traveling through forest, city, and farmland. And even though Micolash keeps his blue eyes staring outside the carriage for the entire trip, he sees none of it. Instead he watches silver strings like sap slip from the barks of trees. He sees towering man made buildings pockmarked with corals and barnacles. And he sees, before the bridge to Cainhurst proper, the sea itself lapping against farmhouses, following the curve of the hills. He is fascinated with the alien landscape outside his window, brought on by the paleblood slithering through his veins. The visions are nothing like he’d ever imagine in his short life. Instead of being frightened or appalled, he is intrigued. Surely there is something real here, he thinks.  *** [snip] ***

Astarion hates everything about the palace but he hates the ballroom more than even the kennels. In the kennels there is privacy, torture conducted under sympathetic shadow. He can hide afterwards, hide his shame. In the ballroom there is torture and pain and suffering but it is out in the open. When he is brought here he is made to suffer under the public eye, for the amusement of his master’s guests. Even being in this room now makes him shake with deep seated fear.

[galaxirin]

Additional headcanons listed below:

- Born to a high class family in Cainhurst (equivalent to a duke/duchess position) which in turn makes her a distant blood relative to Queen Annaliese.

- The reason why she enrolled into Byrgenwerth was because the Cainhurst dynasty (mostly Annaliese) was curious on the discovery of the Old Blood within the campus walls and instructed Maria to look into it as a student.

- She then met people like Rom, Ludwig, Laurence, etc and decided to stay indefinitely as she began to have closer ties with the students rather than the strict cultures of her family and ancestors.

- She at one point had a small crush on Rom, but due to “The Incident” she was unable to voice out her feelings and in turn grieved the most aside from Micolash.

- She was personally trained by Gehrman but also taught Ludwig basic Cainhurst sword combat as he was curious and wanted to expand his combat abilities for the Hunt.

- Because of the incident regarding the Fishing Hamlet, not only did she feel guilty for the atrocities done by her own Hunters against the residents and especially Kos, but also being unable to save Gehrman’s leg, which he lost in the same incident.

- Her last words to Gehrman (and possibly anyone outside the research hall) was “I’ll be fine”. As she wanted to make sure he did not feel guilty for what she was about to do a few days later.

- Her body was found by Gehrman, who buried her next to a tree outside Yharnam. However, the tombstone was also integrated into the Hunter’s Dream as even after all these years he still thought about her.

- As for a modern AU, when she’s not working out at the gym or drinking with Ludwig she’ll be doing charity work together with Adeline (her fiancée) in the Fishing Hamlet.

- also why she has an anchor tattooed to her left arm, to show her determination to make sure the people residing in the village know that she will always be there to help.

Redraw of the family tree I posted and the backstory of them

Katherine Fled Cainhurst after her Brother Luther was knighted, the culmination of a bitter rivalry lasting their entire childhood it inadvertently lead to her discovering the truth of the castle and why they were so fiercely protective of the bloodline, she then made her way to a town meeting Emit a local blacksmith and falling in love eventually marrying him, she felt she was finally free of the ridged tradition she had lived under for so long.

Katherine became a seamstress enjoying working alongside her husband but when she was pregnant with Annette her brother found and cornered her with orders to either bring her back to Cainhurst or kill her if she refused. upon finding she had built a life for herself and was going to have a child he couldn't go through with it so he decided to take a lock of her hair back after an emotional farewell and on his return to the castle told them he had had to kill her.

Emit and Katherine raised Annette well never telling her of her heritage wanting to protect her, when she was old enough she started helping out with the family business she spent most her days sewing with her mother and enjoying the time they spent together, soon her father introduced her to regular customer Fredric who was studying to be a doctor and needed his suits tailored so he would look the part, she and Fredric eventually married having two daughters Elenore and Effie who could not be more different to each other.

as time went on Fredrics health worsened he had always been feeble it was one of the reasons he had studied medicine, eventually he became bedbound beginning a spiral of obsession trying to use his knowledge to cure himself, all his research lead him to a so called "miracle cure" a treatment by the name of blood ministration, he travelled to the city of Yhanarm signing his name away only thinking of being cured, it was successful he was overjoyed at being able to return to his former self again and he began to make up for the time he had lost with his family, he was not bothered by the duties that were now required of him but due to those and needing to be closer to the City for his treatment he brought his family to live with him there.

Annette began to notice changes in Fredric after he had become ill he had never raised his voice at her and the children or thrown things but now it had become a common occurrence, one fateful day after returning home from the market she found him hunched over rambling to himself as she approached she saw his face it was not that of her husband it was twisted into that of a beast, as she turned to run he caught her in an instant turning the room red, Effie and Elenore had hidden themselves as their father had rambled and demanded to see them tearing the house apart, not wanting to be near him in his state they hadn't heard their mother return until they heard her screams, Elenore peered out wanting to protect her younger sister upon seeing the carnage she tried to creep past her father as he began his feast to try to alert anyone she could but she was not quick enough the last thing she did was scream for her sister to run.

Effie after losing everything had decided to become a Hunter she was determined to prevent the scourge from doing the damage she had witnessed first hand.

What sort of woman is Lady Maria for you?🙂

LONG POST INCOMING!!!

Maria is a character Daisy and I developed as time went by. From the game, we can get a decent impression of what Gehrman is like or at least what he is now after god knows how many years trapped in the Dream. It wasn’t hard for me to try and piece together the man he was before because we have many clues, we know many things about him: who he worked for, what he liked *wink wink* what his opinion on the hunt was and so on.

Maria is a much more mysterious character, a less relatable one (in my opinion) because we don’t have the chance to interact with her that much in the game. Ludwig at least gets a final, tragic speech before passing out but Maria doesn’t and she does not even have any final words when killed, unlike Gehrman.

This is why when I decided to start writing my fanfic, the first thing I tried to do was to give Maria some solid background and a reason to be there with the Hunters of Byrgenwerth which consequently led me to develop headcanons for the entire Cainhurst nobility LMAO.

First of all, Maria is a very capable woman not because she was born talented but because she worked for it. Since she was young, she trained hard and intensively in the martial arts while leading the life of a noblewoman perfectly integrated into Cainhurst’s lavish society. Maria is 100% one of them and very aware of it. She is not a rebel who doesn’t “want to be a lady, but a knight instead”, she is not a tomboy, she isn’t even a knight in fact, but a member of the royal guards: trained soldiers and spies who are the personal protectors of the queen herself.

She knows what her place is, what her family expects from her and really never questioned it prior to her arrival in Byrgenwerth. By her own admission, she knows very little of the condition of the general population, she had never walked in a crowded street in Yharnam without other guards and lackeys by her side for she has been raised in the sheltered and stale society of the nobles.

The disconnect between her and the Byrgenwerth hunters is abysmal at first. Her opinion of them was terrible and she openly disliked Gehrman and his methods of teaching. No matter how prepared she was, her prior training only focused on one vs one combat between knights and it proved almost completely useless against beasts. She was forced to unlearn something she took pride in, something she spent all her youth learning and perfecting. She felt like she didn’t belong and never will. This is why my fanfic takes 2 YEARS to really get everything in place for the romance between her and Gehrman to blossom :P she had to adapt to the life of a Hunter first. And once she did, she enjoyed the heck out of it. She became proud of being one of them, forged strong friendships with her colleagues and some of the students such as Rom and Caryll. Her distaste for Gehrman turned into deep admiration not just for his skills as a Hunter but as a person in general since she considered his (and his students’) accomplishments really inspiring.

Once she opened up, she revealed her warmer and cheerful side, that was hidden beneath the cold disguise of the Cainhurst noblewoman. Maria is overall an optimistic and daring woman who likes the challenge (no matter if during a hunt or while playing arm wrestling with Izzy and Gratia :P) and to have fun. She is well aware of her attractiveness and absolutely confident and open when it comes to her love life since I headcanon Cainhusters to be way less ‘prudish’ than your average Yharnamite.

Maria is also really fond of her sister Lady Evelyn and her uncle/adoptive father Lord Ackerman who was also her teacher and is constantly concerned about their well-being, especially Evelyn’s since she was facing a period of psychological and health complications after she had an abortion which is, obviously, not only a really terrible experience to go through but also something that put a stigma on Evelyn’s name in the eyes of all the other nobles. In my headcanons, Cainhursters were infected by the Sanguine Plague (which is NOT the plague of the beasts, it’s a different illness of Pthumerian origin) which made many of their women unable to bear children. Maria too thinks she’s infertile (which is true in my ‘serious’ fanfic and untrue in the LND AU because happy endings and stuff) and that is one of the reasons why she is so affected by the whole Kos-Fishing Hamlet-thing and why the Doll’s personality complements hers by acting so maternally.

I also think that she didn’t really care a whole bunch about being a mother and such as far as her own goals and aspirations were concerned, but being a young woman raised in a society that valued bloodline and the fabled conception of the ‘Child of Blood’ above all else, those expectations still affected her. But even with that, she was rational enough to draw the line when Annalise had her own soldiers trained to kill other humans in order to collect Blood Dregs. That was the moment when Maria truly began to despise her family and their gruesome traditions. The more her Pthumerian heritage became apparent (the more she used the Old Blood, the more   Maria’s abilities and appearance changed) the more she became repulsed by it. She also felt guilty because of all the Pthumerians she and the Hunters slaughtered to allow the scholars to explore the Chalices. This was possibly the first moment in her life when she truly needed Gehrman’s and her friend’s support and understanding because for the first time she was not comfortable with herself. She feared she was going to lose herself, to become ‘hollow’, in a sense. I took a lot of inspiration from a character by Angela Carter for this particular ‘phase’ of Maria’s story arc. The Countess from ‘The Lady of the House of Love’:

(…) she is the last bud of the poison tree that sprang from the loins of Vlad the Impaler who picnicked on corpses in the forests of Transylvania.

She herself is a haunted house. She does not possess herself; her ancestors sometimes come and peer out of the windows of her eyes and that is very frightening.

She is so beautiful she is unnatural; her beauty is an abnormality, a deformity, for none of her features exhibit any of those touching imperfections that reconcile us to the imperfection of the human condition. Her beauty is a symptom of her disorder, of her soullessness.  

Long story short, Maria is a brave young woman with a good heart and the humility of admitting her own flaws. Said humility is what makes her different from the majority of the snobbish Cainhursters and why she is able to fit amongst the Old Hunters, why she admires the dedication of the Byrgenwerth scholars to their research and why she is able to see past Gehrman’s manias and social awkwardness and care for the good man she knows he really is.

She cannot forget or ignore her origins, being a Cainhurster means more than possessing a noble title, her very DNA is different, she is not fully human but she is determined not to let her ancestry change the person she wants to be and how others see her. She joined the Old Hunters on Annalise’s request but the decision to become a permanent member of their group was hers and hers alone, she refused to use Blood Blades despite her extremely powerful blood and consciously looked at Gehrman at some point in the story and thought “you know, he’s kinda hot”.

✂️

// Send ✂ and Vileblood Adrian will kill your muse - Not accepting //

[Under read more for length and violent/bloody/gory content]

A harrowing, deep squeal pierced the Stygian blue-black night, causing bushes and trees to tremble with fleeing animals. Then, booming gunshots followed, one after another, leading to another set of shrieks, this time more desperate and higher pitched. With just how loud and rich the bestial noises are, the porcine monstrosity sounds huge, perhaps even similarly sized to the Man-eating Boars occasionally found in the area. But the richness of the cries identify it as something more, something different, something even more unnatural. The flora rustles more, this time as a baritone voice yelps, followed by blood-curdling screams precipitated by loud thumping wet noises.

Three blazing red eyes emerge from the brush, rapidly blinking as blood flows into them. He can feel it, the Boar, that he is dying. Not from the gunshot that rendered three of his eyes blind and shot out one of his ears, but the electrified spear that had stuck straight into his heart. And, of course, the fool didn’t realize he would charge. The fool didn’t realize the beast would charge forward and gore him, even if it meant driving the weapon further into his body. Every single nerve in his body feels like it is burning him up. Each successive beat of his heart beats weaker, slower, even as the puncture sealed itself somewhat. And even if some of the ‘Good’ Hunter’s intestines are strung up on his tusks like wreaths, this victory will kill him. The bolt paper has rendered his Vileblood regenerative abilities useless.

Only one person would recognize Adrian in his current state, but they weren’t here. They were likely at home on the very outer part of Yharnam, inside and safe with their family. For one rare moment, the mad hog stood on his hind legs, somewhat hunched over, and feels a strong pang of loneliness. He would die here, alone, without saying goodbye to anyone, not that anyone would wish to say farewell to the great beast. The transform shakes off the viscera on his snout, shakily breathing as the his weeping chest wound sends a new and strong wave of agony through his body. It makes it difficult to concentrate on more than the pain and terror of the Nothing after death.

But oh would the Vileblood manage it. Rage began to well within his monstrous chest, and the bristles on his head and back stand on end. Hate fills the pain like an analgesia. Hate directed at the blasted hunter who mortally wounded him, hate at the Healing Church, hate at Yharnam itself, hate at the circumstances that caused him to leave the city for the Forbidden Woods. Adrian refuses to die feeling helpless, and so he rises on his legs as tall as he can, eerily erect like a man. Despite being a boar beast, his silhouette in the night suggests something lithe and elegant. Even if the arms are somewhat long, and his hands large, they do not appear unwieldy or out of place.

The blood sings him a sublime and gentle elegy and springs tears to his sanguine hued animal eyes.

Twelve claws click together as he slowly moves, his breast still heaving and struggling with each breath. The woods appear more like a dark teal to him than blue, especially with the blood in the eyes that still work. And with only three instead of six, his vision only sees half what he should. And yes, it scares him even more as he ambles through the woods on his hooves, caring little that he crunched twigs and even fallen branches beneath him. Though he couldn’t really see them, not well at his height without depth perception, he could hear and smell panting scourge beasts and hissing snake parasites moving out of his way. They normally gave him a wide berth anyways, but something about his state made them even more wary.

Understandable, given wounded and dying wild hogs are some of the most vicious creatures, as the dead hunter found out the hard way.

Suddenly, Adrian stops his death march to huff the air, breathing in as deeply as his wound will allow. It hurts to breathe that deep, but his spiteful and stubborn nature snarls at it. Rears its abhorrent and beautiful head at it. He can smell people, their musky sweat and their pungent fear. His mouth waters with the prospect of a few last kills right before he ceases to feel anything, ceases to have any consciousness. The Vileblood wants one last taste of blood in his seething fear. At least, that way, he could have one more peaceful moment unclouded by animosity.

Lowering himself to all fours, he begins to rush towards the scents, able to avoid running into trees but scraping himself up against bushes on this blind side. Tiny spidery lines of crimson show against his bluish gray hide and black bristles. Despite it all, he manages to move relatively fluidly, though not as swift as he could uninjured. Really, he knows his approach cannot be sneaky or inconspicuous, but even two able-bodied men couldn’t run from him. Even at his size. His powerful back legs especially granted him quick strides across the forest, even if he looked anything but natural moving given the length of his limbs.

Resentment and dread so clouds his judgment that he doesn’t even recognize the two people staring at him in horror. They reflect in his crying red eyes almost unobstructed, the lanky frame of a pale man with pale hair and the pallid, malformed boy he carries. Their familiar cries don’t even register as they stare at him. Do they recognize him, somehow, despite his twisted, enormous form? Do they see the human Vileblood lurking beneath the surface of the Boar of Cainhurst? Most likely not, as he springs like a loaded bear trap at the those two smaller screaming forms.

The pain of two bodies hitting his own pales in comparison to his wounds. He can feel himself growing weak from the blood loss. Finally, he can feel the itchiness of healing flesh as the effects of electricity wears off- but it is far too late. Too much blood has been lost. Unless he can somehow inject blood into himself, he will perish.

As he barrels past them, the Beast turns so he can look at them with his good eyes. They’re terrified and winded, covered in scrapes and marks. Scared of imminent death, just like him. Good. Adrian rasps out a grunt, a warning and a promise as he circles around them in a wide arc, hooves and claws heavy on the brush below. Up above, the canopy formed by towering trees cast sinister shadows on his hide, making him look even more peculiar and phantasmal in form. He both looks as though he belongs in this foul forest, yet he looks completely foreign.

Just as his eyes catch movement, just as he notices Lorian pull out a gun, the Boar lunges at him, ignoring the barely moving form of Lothric vanishing. Jaws filled with teeth too sharp for a normal hog snap at the limbs and digits, sinking into the bone. Crunch. The beasts shakes his head just out of spite, makes sure he drops the gun. Blood fills his maw, and he lets out a pleased oink so deep it seems demonic. Still working eyes bore holes into Lorian, still convinced the man he stares at is just another dumb, brutish hunter convinced of his superiority and mastery over Nature. 

But his greedy disposition wants more, needs the blood rapture. He can almost feel it over the anguish and the frayed nerves, over the burning of his chest, over the gaping oozing wound sealing itself. Adrian steps forward, one large hand pressing hard into Lorian’s chest, and stares him down. Red eyes, full of unimaginable malice and horrific intelligence with just a hint of fear, gaze upon him. The other hand rips the collar off his jacket for better access to the neck. The blood, it beacons to him, pleads to him to take it, take it take it take it. It won’t save him, this he knows. It doesn’t matter to him. Nothing matters to him anymore but to destroy destroy destroy.

Again, the Boar’s great muzzle opens, hot saliva and blood spilling all over the tattered leather garb of his victim. Another jaw, full of needle-like sharp teeth that look like they belong on a fish and not a pig, juts forward a scant few out of his mouth and into the exposed neck. The warm, fresh blood floods his jaw as he lowers himself closer. Adrian smells heavily of musk, forest, blood, soil. In any other situation, it wouldn’t be unpleasant, but here, it overwhelms as he presses further down to feed. Far too narrow for his jaws, the beast settles on clamping down across the neck and shoulder to gorge himself on the blood. The keening of his prey disturbs him not.

An all too familiar ringing in his ears and pressure behind his eyes gives him pause. His jaws release him and look around. Over the aroma of human blood, he can smell something else, definitely not human. His head begins to pound right around the time he can feel his breath coming slower, harder. Adrian wants to rest. He no longer feels scared, so full of blood. Nothing can touch him anymore. Something scratches at the back of his brain, some sort of recognition, and he brings himself onto his wobbly four limbs.

The Vileblood turned abhorrent hog crawls forward, willing himself this as his body hearkens him towards his last slumber. Adrian’s head begins to hurt more, throbbing and pounding as he drags himself along. He knew this feeling. He knew it very well. Why couldn’t he remember? Perhaps it was just the blood rapture, but something told him they were happy memories, recent ones at that. As he makes his way to the source of the noise, his form smothers tall, dry grass. Whimpering and sniveling noises fill his stinging ears. The pain in his head crescendos, then suddenly, it peters off.

Finally, he turns the good set of eyes at the source below. A pale, pitiful form not quite human. It almost reminds him of legends of mermaids and mermen. It is dying too, he can tell. Was this the source of those excruciating headaches? As his sight begins to fail, as his lungs struggle to provide enough air, the scent of the boy before him causes him to remember what the pain and rage made him forget. The mad hog gulps, a woefully human-like gesture, as wide fading black eyes stare at him, unable to comprehend. A deeper pain that the spear that skewered his heart settles in his chest.

No longer having energy to carry his massive body, the boar collapses in front of Lothric with a plaintive sigh. Now, he just wants to sleep, sleep it all away, sleep forever. His eyes slowly close, and his body shudders once before emitting a horrible gurgling noise. It almost sounds like an attempt at sobbing “Madre.” 

At last. Peace.

Why don’t I like Horizon: Zero Dawn? Part 4

A rant of how a child grew up with video games.

I got a mobile phone in Highschool. That was the death of seeing a portable console in use for a while.

Minecraft happened, I got it on mobile, built wonderful things, castles, mansions, towns, cities, landscapes, worlds, cringey MC let’s plays, I still do, a week prior to writing this I got addicted to it all over again with my friends running a server, I formed bonds with both friends and family in ways impossible in any other situation, such collaboration was liberating, seeing where my mind would lead me in this current year with the freshest of level design knowledge, pulling from the genius of Bloodborne’s Castle Cainhurst using roofs and falling as part of the traversal to a rooftop boss fight, in a way I had only fought feasible in Smash bros, as well as the corruption of the Hunter’s nightmare slowly corrupting the building with tree roots and slimy tendrils, serving as both hindrance and safe passage for decent to the ground or into the caverns below, I could build secret passages into players houses and see how long it took them to notice, I created and I watched creation happen, it is beautiful. Through this game I was able to take a screenshot of my full ability as a creative as one who didn’t fully conform to other mediums written not being one of my strong suits, hence this writing project to write what I know about, in my design in this incredibly limited sandbox, I was only truly limited by my imagination and my time, as well as time, attempting to build a 1:1 scale building of my school in Minecraft, giving up after building the front, due to lack of source material to work with.

(though now that I think about it might be possible with the tools I have now)

 Bitcoin billionaire – more than a week of my real life was spent on that game, I recognised the predatory nature of FTP preying on my addiction along with clash of clans, and the sour and salt of a multiplayer community.

I saw the good, and the bad of a new age of video gaming being up to date in a small part of a growing mobile game industry.

The friends I had made in high school offered new fresh perspectives on video games, introducing me to Skyrim, a game I from simply using my own limited video game knowledge was able to feign knowledge of the game from glimpses of conversation as far as I was concerned it was a game that wasn’t any different, or unique to anything I had played prior, I was set in my ways, I was able to know everything about a video game from essentially nothing, I was able to go to a friends house, play a game for the first time and offer insight to someone who had played for 30+ even 100+ hours, of flaws they hadn’t noticed or just ignored, I saw a disconnect between having fun and knowing why.

Why play video games?

community?

addiction?

fun?

This knowledge was lost to me.

What are some Maria headcanons that you have?

( @izunias-meme-hole)

Lady Maria headcanons post (part 1) :

Alright! Well I already share those a while ago : https://www.tumblr.com/fantomette22/743244500505378816/lady-maria-vs-keeper-of-the-old-lords?source=share  +couple of other around my blog

So I will try to share other things not just related to « Maria could do pyromancy from her living if she really wanted to but was actually terrified by it! Because she didn’t want to use her own blood to inflict pain and death. » also I won’t explain in detail how I hc she got her Rakuyo : by directly going to the East herself! (Yamamura’s country).

🍂But why did she name it like that? The Rakuyo? Well Rakuyo means « fallen leaves » right? Well, when she finally got her blade she needed to baptise it, to use it properly for the first time. And guess on what she uses it? A fallen leaf! (naturally falling in autumn). Cut it straight in two halves. And that’s how she knew how she was going to name it.

Enjoy the ride t's going to be long ;)

⚔️She got an Evelyn gun during her teenage years and before the Rakuyo she often train & fight with both a chikage and a reiterpallasch (she really like dual wielding 😎 or maybe with another sword like the shadow could have been a thing she fight with 🤔 but yeah I guess she was trained with all type of weapons) I wonder if she could have been a bit ambidextrous too.

⚜️Ok now concerning her family (tree) I have at least 5 different headcanons for it 💀but let’s just go with my main one aka the fic verse one (where she’s just Annalise’s cousin XD). Because if you get me started on the alternatives it’s just never gonna be over XD (those are really in very different timelines. It’s not really the same characters & events are different)

🩸I imagined she had quite a mixed relationship with her family. It’s like when you love them bc it’s your family, you like the good memories and nice moments you have, this little chill & special outings etc but there’s also some stuff you’ll never be able to forget or forgive them. You feel you need distance and be autonomous to not get hurt by them anymore, to not get frustrated and misunderstood. Just have news and share things outside.

She never really fit in with her peers. Kinda an odd one who just masks really well to fit into the mood when asked of her. I prefer to say « a (white) wolf » in a pack of hounds in context but yeah black sheep in a white flock if it’s easier to understand x) She had a lot of pressure on her shoulder as well (being the last pyromancer and not far in the line of succession)

But she really likes her close cousins which she grew up with (Annalise, Vled), a couple of other friends (Charles, Svetta, a couple of future young knights etc) as well as younger relatives and kids (Leo etc)! But she doesn’t get that much along with the others. Like she goes along better with the servants probably. 

⚜️She mainly grew up between Cainhurst and where her parents had lands and their manor (in the north, near a coast). Her parents are often not there because they are sent by the crown to places so it's complicated . When her mother is in a good mood that’s mostly fine, her dad is a bit more chill (he taught her how to play a lot of card games and poker too! She probably played 2-3 times with money at stake. She prefers amical things. She will absolutely beat your ass at it too. She’s the definition of having a poker face XD)

👑She was a lil bit raised like a future lady in waiting but more as future knight (page (of the king), squire, knight training etc really rough training too 💀 very dark shit hm like beat the shit out of people while wearing a full weight armor, swim in a ice lake and idk shot hm dead things… I swear there’s more fun things but hm yeah…)

That one really isn’t fun as well but i imagined that during her teenage years she already had to deal with mental health issues (due to well some pb with her family etc). Thankfully, she did get better after spending a summer a bit far away at a friend's home (to simplify). Still she got scared for some years afterwards that some of those dark thoughts would eventually return. Thankfully it didn't for most of her life. She got some happy times…Bad times too but not that bad until well probably more than 15-20y later where you know… she would sadly not make it out this time.

🌌She was accepted as Byrgenwerth and went to mainly study sciences, astronomy, but did learn a bit of theology as well as medicine (basic medicine stuff,  nurse & help midwife etc). She did 5y and got a master degree. She also participated in underground expeditions arranged by Byrgenwerth.

⭐️She probably know how to speak way more than 2 languages : whatever they speak in Yharnam, latin/pthumerian language, whatever the equivalent of Japanese is and probably a bit of other European languages too. Oh a north/slavic languages as well, because she had ancestors from there too).

🐴When she was very little they got some borzoi I guess but most of her life at Cainhurst she got 2 siblings crows (I have Phobos & Deimos names in my draft) as well as her own horse, named Filan. (mean little wolf in gaelic/irish apparently? Speaking of which Maria's nickname when she was little was "little wolf" maybe in another language too). She probably had a couple of plants too.

(suppose to be almost a full black horse but i’m not 100% settle because i could go full horsemen of the apocalypse aesthetic with other knights if i change the colors… but in my first draft that’s a black horse yes)

🔥When she was very little they discovered she could eventually have pyromancer blood power.It might have been a huge pride for them and honor for her but… clearly Maria didn’t want to become like the shadows of the antics pthumerian royals. A silent and hidden knight who kills without asking questions… clearly she wasn’t really found of this idea 😅 Thankfully for her she don’t know or to use such power and didn’t put much effort to try to learn it (in life she will probably accidentally use it 2-3 time…)

She highly respects a lot of traditions and culture from Cainhurst but there’s stuff like exposing the remains of animal prey that she found a bit barbaric. She doesn't mind others using blood blades and she will do it alone/ for training or even in choreography but she doesn’t wish to hurt or kill with it.*

💔So she was supposed to become a royal guard but things didn’t go like they should have…the poor young knights got into a fight with something by accident… a mortal trap they couldn’t win… only Maria made it out alive. Very hurt and slightly traumatized… She then had a huge fight with her family & relatives about what happened. She couldn’t even send news to her friends bc they forbid it to calm any rumors about what happened…Hm then Maria’s family decide to send her more north where her parents have lands etc so things calm down and she could ya know do her knight work or smt. Anyway she run away at Byrgenwerth💀

Sorry for the meme jebfekb I am not giving lot of details for now but it's highly link with my Knight & Beast of Cainhurst story.

(Why this meme too? Well due to rumours her friends legit thought she died 💀 she went to Byrgen only 1-2 months later. During the holidays. So she sent to like Ludwig & the other who weren't there letters to tell them she was ok. That's were came this meme XD)

❤️‍🩹Anyway she was partially disowned of some stuff for a bit and didn’t came back at Cainhurst for while. But after some times, her and her family wanted to both apologize and reunite, but without an occasion it would be complicated. Well, until a CERTAIN SOMEONE stole the forbidden blood to Cainhurst and tell them Maria helped 💀 (she had no idea, and he only did that bc he owns her one). So she didn’t approve but she kinda reconciled and they gave her the occasion to do a mission for them later on, in JAPAN (the Eastern land) and well you know the rest.

⚓️She had the occasion to go to « Japan » and have her dream of becoming like half in charge of a ship after getting her master degree! (she just did navigation stuff with the stars but maybe she was captain lol that’s what she wanted to do when she was little actually. But reading Evelyn diaries and not just the novels she realised how hard it was to always have such life h24)

Congratulations Lady Maria! 

After really hard years.. and trauma… and a exhausting presentation 

You win : 

a master degree in astronomy (sciences & other things)

a nice meal with your parents & family that congratulate you

a big part of your inheritance back!

a super wine bottle to share with your friends

 a trip to japan

finally your promised personalised double sword

a personalised hunting attire when you came back

to able to work with gehrman’s hunters & the healing church when you came back

So proud of you ❤️👏

✨Other lil hcs : 

Laurence made her very interested in religion. I am not joking, I sincerely believe he converted her somehow. / Made her very interest into great one religion etc

Gehrman saved her life more than once, she did the same. They went into lot of hunt training/camping trip as the beggining of being hunters.

She became great friends with Ludwig, Rom, Caryll, friends Damian too etc back at Byrgenwerth. With Micolash it was a bit more nuanced for a while. Before becoming close friends they were roasting each other often XD but respected each other too.

Her brooch either came from her mother or the late queen (aunt) so a family heirloom I guess. Ressemble a lumenflower. 

She helped the early healing church with treating people, make food, teach kids etc

She was highly respected by all the old hunters. Even if she had some tensions with dear Izzy at like the beginning they knew each other XD She earn their respect and everyone ended up very liking her being her kindness, abilities etc

When she was sent alone or with a couple of hunters to help in a secluded villages, people were of course really skeptical at first but she quickly proved them her worth.

I think sometimes she wears dresses…  but hey she never wears high heels or ballerina shoes (she hates it so hey she still has her special style! aka huge boots XD) It’s often very simple ones as well. Except at Cainhurst, it’s not very extravagant.

She loves to read tons of books (cainhurst library is there for smt XD)

With her cousins they loved to explore and wander the castle! At night too.. got them into trouble more than once.

Sometimes she wears sunglasses when it’s very sunny (poor girl has white eyelashes you see! she have an excuse)

She really loved the lumenflowers too like i explained last time.

She got some scars at the base of her neck. That’s why she almost always wear a jabot with her broach. (maybe on the hands too. that’s why she often has gloves).

She made (with a bit of help) Gherman’s red scarf while in japan.

“Of the Astral Clocktower” because she basically funded its construction with her own money. So like it’s partially hers on papers. (She did mostly astronomical studies & took care of the patients kind of like a nurse during her time at the research hall

She could play a couple of instruments (especially violin and cello). 

Of course she know many ballroom & court dance and taught other to others when they were invited to some places.

She actually can “sing” very well (but more music without real lyrics like the dream ost for exemple) ! She would probably almost never do that in public too.

Some books at the workshop are hers

Oh, did I already told she was very scared of pthumerian pyromancers before she fought the keeper of the old lords?

Ok now because I didn't know what to add to the post I asked some of my friends to help me with questions they wanted to know about! Thanks @heraldofcrow & @fareehaandspaniards there you go:

Was she comfortable with life at Cainhurst? (Before the Vileblood)

I think I answered that above ^ it’s very complex and complicated. Sometimes it goes well (especially in childhood) but sometimes it’s very complicated and not so good… (especially during teenage years and during some events where she got a lot of pressure and all. It got better after all this mess and Vilebloods mess of course (even if some distance was left compared to before). 

🩸🐦‍⬛Bloody Crow’s relation to Maria? 

In my main hc he’s the son of Maria’s cousin (Vled, the knight). So her little cousin basically. But to simplify I often say he’s like a nephew to her. I named him Voron! (I know very imaginative it means raven XD)  Still unsure if he’s born before or after the hamlet (probably after too) but in all cases Maria was around to help with the birth and to help take care of him for the first couple of days. She loved him very much. Also In the case something were to happen to his parents, well the king & queen would take care of him but if somehow they can’t/something were to happen to them too, Maria promised she would be the one to take care of him. 

Still, she died when he was very young. Probably like 3-6 years old. So he does remember a bit. But just a little and he has very good memories of her. But he also saw his family hurting from her disappearance and all and so he grew more mixed feeling but mostly it stays positive. He really looks like her in a lot of ways.

🕷️Rom and Maria friendship 🥺? 

I see you want to know more about their friendship! I think They had a wholesome friendship overall! But it didn't begins great. I am trying to write it in my fic since a few months but it's all hard and idk how to do that exactly XD

Like they were doing a group exercise and Rom was pretty bad and it (supposed to be quite easy) and Maria who got frustrated to explain it so much lash out a bit and tell her like “are you dumb or something?” 

Everyone in the class isn't very nice to Rom (and Maria) and said worst things behind her back so she thought that was, you know OK somehow and not that mean. But she quickly realized afterwards her mistake, that Rom was the Provost daughter and that she had some disability. But despite that, she was still trying hard and she must be very strong to have the lvl to be here you know! 

Maria feels very bad about it (Micolash had dark looks to give her too lmao)  but after a while (talking with other people cough cough) she decided to come to her and apologize sincerely and even try to help her on a few things.

Rom was quite surprised at first because nobody, you know approaches her like this to apologize and that's a huge thing considering Maria is from Cainhurst and a noble.

I mean she didn't even have hard feelings against Maria because everyone else is way meaner and she kinda forgot about it. She was quite surprised but also very thankful and they began to talk more. Micolash was the most surprised and he told Rom to be careful to not get walk over, to not believe lies and stuff but he quickly realized that it was genuine. And Rom had to reminded him (with Damian) that well, when he first meet Rom he was kinda of a bully at first!  Before becoming a mother hen with Damian.

So yes the two girls began to talk about a lot of things! She even got invited to Rom’s room. There’s tons of insects and underglass and stuff but generally people don't like that but Maria found it cool! She got some back home too and found it very interesting actually! So they quickly became friends with all the little gang. And also they are basically the two girls of the squad! I mean Caryll is in the girls squad too but they can also be in the boys squad so yeah anyway you know how girl besties can be x) you don’t share the same things exactly. Plus Caryll & Rom are really in the must protected squad.

 Maria even defends Rom from her family when she came back for the holiday and they asked her if she made some friends and who they were and stuff. And you know uh Mara had to told them in a very exaggerated manners that « oh I'm friend with the Provost daughter you know! » (You know because that's what they want to know, if she made strong connections with interesting people before anything else…)

But of course, you're going to have very rude comments from some relatives or something who’s going to say “oh the retarded one?” 💀  And everyone's looking at him like “can you please not say it like this?”  Poor Maria just standing there and dunno what to say because she really cares about her as a friend. She doesn't just want to have friends to show off she has important contacts. She genuinely values those friendships. Sadly, she can’t just tell her family that her friends are mostly “the weird introvert group kids! just like me!”(so she talk about Ludwig too! but don't put too much details on others…)

So yeah they stayed great friends for years. Sadly, in tough moments they didn’t really share what hurt them to the other… (after kos etc maybe a bit but not too much)

��️🛡️What or who inspired Maria's path of knighthood in her youth?

History books & knight novels! Her grand uncle, the other knights, king etc, Her family push her/ “let her choose” that way as well.

Lady Evelyn stories (she was like Maria grand aunt/ cousin of her grandparents, mostly an adventurer).

The bodyguard of Annalise’s mother who was at first a mercenary sent to Loran before becoming a royal knight.

🍜What were Maria's food preferences?

Hm i think if it looks/smells average and edible she’s actually not that complicated XD She made a lot of effort through the years to get used to more common and simple food.

My poor girl couldn’t really cooked anything when she arrived at Byrgenwerth besides cutting basic things, make tea, made ramen and skins animal meat (like rabbit) before Gehrman thought her other recipes 😭 (she made great soups afterwards! hunters like it, she cuts aliments well XD but yeah my boy cooks well for everyone he made her liked many simple things that if not done well many don’t like. But bro is the only one who probably likes some chard gratin or something out of everyone…)

Like most of her family, i supposed she would very much enjoy some rare/medium rare meat XD but when it’s EVERYDAY she got very tired 💀 I mean she tried to tell her family it was too much so they respected her wishes and gave her only vegetables for a couple of days… but not like normal meals no! like a whole ass not decorticate salad or full ass carrots with skins and all! 💀 She rapidly apologized like you can guess. (still she can’t stand those damn carpaccio when there’s too much!)

Besides that yeah only non meat dishes don’t bother her at all, she would even prefer most of the time. She likes both sophisticated but also very simple dishes she discovered.  Exotic food from the east. Of course my girl liked sushis, fish, sea fruit etc. I mean she used to like it way more before… you know… afterwards many hunters couldn’t just smell white fish for a few days without feeling nauseous…. for Maria she just couldn’t bring herself to eat like 95% of white sea fish anymore… (I guess salmon and thon and lobster were still ok but that’s it really).

And well of course deserts are always so nice so whatever 🤤

🌻Her relationship with Adeline?  /Who is Adeline to her in your interpretation? 

(Yeah both of you asked me this one! x) )

Well depending on the interpretations I have two main interpretations for her! (in the AU/very different timeline where Gehrman is like Maria's dad, that's her girlfriend lol) but in my main interpretation that’s not really the case. I prefer to see them as friends and very close friends I think? during her early time at the research hall. Another close friend she made who’s mainly outside of her main group. But both have quite an evolution through the years they knew each other. 

If i remember the draft in my head correctly it goes like this : 

After Maria graduated (and came back from her mission trip) she went to help the early healing church develop itself and its activities between hunts and going in the pthumerians labyrinth and that’s where she met Adeline.

I supposed Adeline is a Yharnamite? but she lost everything (her family. not sure what happened) and basically didn’t have a home anymore and clearly saw herself as worthless (poor girl had terrible self esteem issues all her life afterwards…) So the early healing church took in some people in need, gave them a place to sleep, eat and heal them if they were sick. Maria took care and helped Adeline during that time (after it was Laurence too).

And so the 2 became friends! In the end Adeline (who had nothing left) decided to dedicate her life to the healing church and helped others as well, so they saw each other with Maria afterwards! They advised each other and could have been a bit confident of each other as well. Of course Maria wasn’t very hyped when Adeline became a blood saint fully (seeing the bad things it could do to people) but she respected her choices.

During the research hall, before Adeline took part in the experiments, she helped Maria, Rom, Caryll etc around with the patients & other things. I suppose because of some dreams/ exposure to something, the decline of everyone's mental health, and maybe other people asking her... she decided to give herself fully to those experiments as well in the end… Her death was one of the last straws for Maria...

----

I know I have more questions left but I am reaching Tumblr word limit soon so I will reblog/make a 2nd post (or even a 3rd)💀 with the rest of the most interesting (and huge) questions! It's not quite written yet but for now this should be a nice distraction and a good reading I hope!

[fantomette22]

Thanks you two!

Yeah really intrigued by your family tree @8km-2 👀 i tried with just a couple of characters it’s already a mess 💀 i really wish we knew more those damn portraits making me crazy at times

(Small hc : Maria & cainhurst know their family tree well but they never know if they need to share to people the official or less official ones xD they don’t wanna exposed some pthumerians ancestors and how close they are with the royal family you see)

And yeah i won’t be surprised if they had a sort of sibling castle there

And yeah @katyspersonal i have a few ideas about Valtr & Yamamura beasts! For me it’s either :

- someone who came from Yharnam, transformed into a beats and then tried to come back « home » as a beast.

- someone local transformed because of an experiment or illegal/legal traffic, turned into a beast and their beast instinct push them to go to Yharnam for some reason. (Maybe the source of the old blood)

Then Valtr/Yamamura who perhaps only hear rumors about Yharnam see with their own eyes there’s a pb and it already happens in Loran (but no one know the details) , it’s happening? In Yharnam they wanna know what’s going on and don’t want it to happen everywhere.

(Also i hc there’s were beasts problems in other small villages less or more far from Yharnam! It’s just a reason so the old hunters can go in little adventures outside yeah xD)

since cainhurst has connections with a land meant to be japan, do you think maria and bloody crow are good at origami?

[fantomette22]

What are some of your favorite Gehrman head-canons my friend? ^-^

Hiii !!!! Smiley Anon!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (sorry I am doing too much?? 😅 always a pleasure to see you're still around friend ♥️ I don't remember if you have an account but don't hesitate again to come talk it wouldn't be a pb for me!)

Oh dear you shouldn't ask me about Gehrman's headcanons without being precise my brain is a constant brainrot of those ideas XD (and I can't choose)

Well I was gonna put a giant list but wait you ask about my favorites right??! i... don't know 😰 I'm really bad at choices 💀 But hey I'm gonna try! (+ had a giant list) I promise not real angsty or sad ones because I'm in the mood for happy things now! ✨

But first well I'm going to link my backstory headcanon for him and the last headcanons list I share for him in an ask game (it's going to be really similar that's why)

If I really had to choose one... well I would say he made the small hair ornament.

And that he made the mercy blade (it was his secondary weapon : in bloodborne we can wield 2 weapons and 2 firearms so...) and passed it down later to the first official hunter of hunter's.

Now here's some put randomly, hope you enjoy! :

He had a few class at Byrgenwerth, didn't go far in the studies but still and have a few classes with Laurence XD

Then he became Byrgenwerth's groundskeeper (employee #1)

he help Willem?/Laurence? to make the gold pendant by potentially making/finding the gold blood gems.

Specialist to hang out looking at the moon at 2am (I mean Caryll too. Byrgenwerth campus was a mess at times)

the big bro of the group!

Of course he love flowers and weapons too! He could speak about hours of it! he's not real social but really cultivate he compensate with his close friends.

With Maria (and a bit caryll & maybe Rom??) they were in charge of cultivate the first Lumen flowers they bring back from Loran.

Part of the siderite use for his weapon and badge came from a meteorite he found when he was little.

yes he knew quite some stuff in astronomy, anatomy & geology (because I say so)

he got inspired by the undead alive giant "arms" for the burial blade.

His name originated from you know the cut content cainhurst knight missing a leg with a spear on a monster horse (kinda look like the tree sentinel in elden ring)

he could had become knight for Cainhurst but he politely declined

About his scarf I fall in love with a friend's version : Maria give it to him as a present. Alternatively it was from his family.

Yeah he had way too much version of the "how to pick up fair maiden books" (the church had them first!) because a few person give it to him or the workshop or it was to other hunters lol. Maybe it's just cool action novels too

He know how to played cello

he make great tea. And good food too

Ok so when he was older (after Maria passed away/before the dream and all) he got a dog! A white female wolfhound that hunt alongside him for years.

+ Sewing :

Of course he had dolls and made clothes for some plushies when he was little. he couldn't do really detailed broderies but sew clothes wince he was young.

He sew back hunter's clothes who were damaged

He made hats for his friends for a Christmas or smt

Well he made the doll clothes but the one the doll wear or a precedent version of the made it for Maria. Or at least he made the red neckerchief!!

Probably design/made at least 1 church outfit or accessories

Of course the charred hunter set is from him??

This man can fix almost anything! (Like weapons)

He don’t need a lot of sleep it’s crazy but when he’s in deep sleep just talking doesn’t work you need to move and push him

His cane is a little trick weapon too. A simple yet cool and fancy sword cane.

Update : omg i forgot to said he made little wood animals figures for his friends! (And more complexe one too!)

And I think I should stop here. That's already a lot of ideas just put randomly here. I probably forget a few and it's the happy ones here mostly. Sorry if you wanted smt way simpler and shorter I got motivated wanting to share headcanons, thanks again and I hope you enjoyed 😅

[fantomette22]

QUICK!! LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR FIC CAINHURST OCS SO WE CAN INVITE THEM TO ME AND BIMBOM’S OC TEA PARTY AND WATCH THEM ALL FIGHT!!

OH OK Ok !!!

So i will keep it to my main fic « OCs »because if i add the 3 version of Maria family tree or smt it’s never gonna be over 😂

Potential lil spoilers for my fic too ahah (but I didn’t put any big spoils!) Also some are complete Ocs but other are based on the portrait or even fit in the lore and could be more of an oc with a prompt /interpretation. And funny things to note but literally more than half of my bloodborne ocs are from Cainhurst 😂

Ok let’s begin with Vledemyr!

The young newest addition to the royal guard. Maria & Annalise cousin & friend, future head of the royal guard of Annalise (and one of the most powerful vileblood one day). In my notes I said he is 4y older than Maria and 1y older than Annalise. That guy is like the mvp of cainhurst. Best inhabitant of Cain after Maria probably. I already talk about him I think ( I love him so much). Ok he would do anything for Annalise yeah but Maria too. Always here to watch over her like an older brother. He’s a bit overprotective of the girls when they were young yeah. Really a great support character, the ideal knight ! He’s not annoying like the rest of the typical cainhurst nobles too. His only default is maybe to be too loyal and obey order without contradicted them. Oh and he’s the one who take care of the crows & raven of the castle. (He’s the best that’s why you need to know)

Lady Sveta/ Svetta smt (kinda place holder name)

she’s a young noble lady from Cainhurst, similar age to Annalise and a close friend of her, Vledemyr, Maria etc She’s a calm & thoughtful lady who managed to become quite influential over the years at Cainhurst despite her young age. She’s not a knight but like most aristocratic cainhurst ladies she was taught how to weld a dagger at least. (Vled taught her quite a few extra tips too!)

Charles : What can I tell about him without telling too much🤔 He’s Maria, Annalise & Vledemyr childhood friend. His family don’t live at Cainhurst anymore and he’s not a super high class noble. The executioner gloves came from his family yep. He was a students at Byrgenwerth too. He begin his course 1y before Maria (1 year older). As a kid the 2 were really the inseparable little trouble makers of Cainhurst 😂 He grew more mature since but could cause troubles if he wish XD (a bit like Laurence, when told them NO and they say YES.) Yeah he’s a lil bastard basically but I love him.

He hope one to impress the noble from Cainhurst and have an important place one day. And you know help restore the great strength Cainhurst lost over time (it’s the shadow of it’s former glory)

He could have quite a decisive role at some point…

Richard, he’s the precedent king consort of cainhurst and Annalise’s father. Poor guy, so much stuff is going on in front of his salad and he can’t do anything about it xD. Yeah he’s not really the one in charge the old ladies of their council don’t even consult him every time ;-; but he’s trying his best and dream of a day where Cainhurst would be xxx again! Of course he’s not perfect but he tried. For exemple he’s really compatissant with Maria wanting to go study far from cainhurst and travel when she’s supposed to become a royal guard. And he prepared Annalise as best as he could and preferred to take pressure on himself than on his dear daughter. Still, sometimes (bc it’s his right) he’s wearing one of the most precious tresor of cainhurst. One of the crown of illusion. Said to diccipe & create illusion in the ancient times. The 2nd crown was lost century ago far into the plumerias labyrinth and all it’s just a normal crown now. All it’s mystic power seems to have disappear long ago…

Well there’s the late queen I guess. (Don’t have a name yet sorry) she was loved by her subject and yeah typical queen too. She was actually the one to try to begin expedition to pthumerians underground again. After decades/centuries of nothing because cainhurst was to salty at the war their loose against their cousins

The ex body guard of the queen (I don’t have a name yet 😐). Will be relevant at some point… He was originally a mercenary hiring by Cainhurst to go to Loran. One of the only person who came back and they made him knight for his exploit. He even become the Queen’s personal bodyguard. He mysteriously disappeared some times after the Queen passed away…

The Royal guard captain? Or at least one of the head of the knights (when Maria was a student at Byrgenwerth). He’s an asshole. Other instructors are much sympthetic but this guy omg… you will understand when the time come. He’s really strict, almost abusive and doesn’t support when you contradict him or try to insult him to his face 😬

3 squires : future royal guards in training about Maria’s age. The 4 of them are supposed to become the next royal guards & Annalise personal guard.

(Maria is on the right & Vledemyr supervise them. It’s a meme too xD)

There’s a young woman (chikage and Evelyn) and two young men, one really strong with 2 chikages and the other one wielding a reiterpallasch and an Evelyn)

I need names too. And I can’t tell you really much more for now.

The next 3 are inspired by a song my friend made.

Twins musician : 2 of the most incredible musicians of Cainhurst. They both can play a clavecin in sync for exemple. And really fast

The master of dance/maestro : He teach the young noble how to spar & dance. And is a bit crazy really XD he often wear a knight helmet with a black suit.

Oh I almost forgot but the chiefs cook ! They come from the same country as Yamamura. If you do shit with their food or tried to cook one of their signature dishes horribly they will fight you.

Then I guess there’s Maria’s close family & other relatives ? You know her parents, the other nobles (but not really ocs more like background character you know) and her annoying grand aunts… 🤣 « But Annalise you can’t stand grand aunt Suzanne either ! »

The birds (crows mostly), horses and dogs don’t count I guess rip 💔 (I’m looking for names too. Yes they are important and relevant background characters)

I know Bloody Crow is not an OC but does baby Bloody Crow (when he was a baby/kid/teens) aka Voron count ? 🥺 No? ok. All I will say for now is that Maria is his godmother.

Ok so Leo don’t count either I guess so not for today. I don’t think his half siblings : Lupin & sister count either XD they are not noble and from Hemwick so (also in the family of my dear hunter)

There’s one last cainhurst oc I have… I think… but hm i can’t really talk about it (a lil secret kinda) I will only say that this oc was a young and sweet little girl who loved flowers and her family. She is deeply missed.

Anyway can’t wait see a hell of a typical Cainhurst duel on the table 👀 oh I mean tea party sorry x)

[fantomette22]

For OCs asks... Isn't it your OC on your icon? Can you tell us more about them?

Ah Lucen Venator ! My beloved hunter <3 (I called my tarnished Lucen too, I might used that name for everyone lol but it's not exactly the same character either hehe ^^)

(drawing made by PaperAcolyte/Chess Albaneze on Instagram by the way. A really nice and sweet person who's making one of the best bloodborne comic to date!)

Alright so lil Lucen really try to be a kind soul but have seen some serious shit in his life (cf scars + last survivor origins initially but I arranged myself so that a lot of origin could actually fit him). What I mean is that he's more a summon helper than an invader XD I put a bit of myself in him. He's probably gonna ascend to become a great one but in the scenario where he would do the "Yharnam sunrise ending" he would ended becoming the next Crow.

He got black hair and silver? eyes. And actually more than just one scar on the face. Oh and I guess they/them is fine too? And If I had a female hunter I would probably have called her Lucen as well so

He's like the only characters with a complex family tree including both OC and really obscure characters from the lore of Bloodborne too. (I finally have an excuse to talk about it let's go !) (of course it's just my imagination and doesn't repose on anything)

Ok so first you have his grandad (that I call Mr Venator or just Venator because I didn't found a name yet) he's a a foreigner who came to Yharnam as a prospector originally and then became an old hunter. (He probably never met his grandson too... probably died way before 😢)

He had a son (Lucen's dad) that accompanied him but he was a child/young teenager when they came at Yharnam. But he hang up around the workshop & with other hunter and that's how he met the brother of his future wife and well, his future wife.

Now Lucen's mother (that's where the family tree get tricky XD) so she's from Yharnam? I think. she's from a servant family of Cain or smt akin too. She was a kid too during the beginning of the hunters and all (like before the hamlet/just after).

BUT she had an older brother/half brother (Lucen's uncle) who's an illegitimate Cainhurst/noble child. Maria took him under her wings and he became an old hunter (probably the youngest too, he was a teen). That GUY stayed a hunter and kinda rejected cainhurst who wanted him to become a knight and he's even the one who took care of the workshop after Gehrman went into the dream. And oh yeah he ended up becoming the beast possessed soul of the workshop...💀 (the freaking drama I know! I need names for everyone too ahhhh)

AND (it's not finished) that hunter is also... vileblood drifter Leo half brother too! (I know I said it was complex) (Leo, who's probably a cousin/relative of Bloody Crow too. Crow's dad is another one of my oc too but that will be for another time lol).

Here's the family tree so you might understand better. With the simplified version and a more complex version (i'm sorry it's a mess... I might changed it one day...or not)

Anyway in my hc / one of my story all this lil squad : Lucen's parents (with his mom being like 8 months pregnant of him at the time...) his uncle and lil (emo teen young adult) Crow have been basically saved/hid by Gehrman when the church attacked Cainhurst. (I have lots of thoughts about it ! Lucen's uncle and Leo even reconcile in it wow)

Just imagining the following scene make me laugh all the time XD :

Laurence at the workshop : Gehrman what are you doing ??

Gehrman : Me ? Nothing I'm just having tea with some friends. Didn't you tell me you were busy with the mess at Cainhust or smt...

Imagined around the table you have like the doll, 2 anxious/scared future parents (with the dad being hurt because he was almost crucified at Hemwick), Crow (Voron) who's on the point of annihilated Laurence and the hunter (Lucen uncle) holding him back...

After that Lucen's family quit Yharnam. (Except his uncle who stayed/came back. And Crow who might have went with them? but ended up coming back a bit later too. I would never have thought crow would have been linked that much with my hunter... wtf)

Oh and i forgot to mention... when the Moon Presence was beckon... a child was born under the pale moonlight...far away from Yharnam... I let you guess who that was 👀

(I don't have that much bloodborne oc really... ok maybe besides them, the cainhurst ocs (the knight, crow? and a few others (I need names too) and if you don't count the king, Caryll, Dores, dores, gatekeeper, Archi & Paarl + some the corpses we see in game we know like 2 things about I guess the only other legit oc is like Gehrman's dog lmao XD)

Update : By the way it's pronounced LuSSen /LuÇen
