Can you tell us more about werewolves and witches?

Sure. I'm going to break up shifters and werewolves since they are different in this world. Kieran is a shifter and a wolf but there are some key differences, noted below.

Witches

There are 100s of covens, although not all witches are a part of them.

Witch is the term used for everyone regardless of identity (there are no warlocks, wizards, etc).

There are three important aspects of knowledge for witches: ritual magic (relying on special locations or events & magical artifacts), elemental magic (relying on nature), and potion-brewing.

There is a cost to more advanced magic. Sometimes the user bears that, other times someone else does.

Witches believe there is no bad magic, only bad witches.

Witches can energizes their magic from other supernaturals for a temporary time (minutes). Only experienced witches should attempt this as it can be fatal for the supernatural otherwise...of course, that may be the intended purpose for some.

Shifters

Shifters live a normal human life until the age of seventeen, when their spirit animal makes themself known. It begins in the dreamworld.

Shifters take on many forms. Kieran shifts into a wolf. Other forms include lions, birds, bears, and panthers.

When they shift, it is still them. A person retains their thoughts and feelings. However, if one is shifted for too long, the animal spirit and instincts can begin to take over. It is not recommended to stay in one's animal form for more than five straight hours, as it can be difficult to convince the spirit animal to give control back...

Shifting too often in a short amount time can be extremely painful. For example, three separate times in 24hrs.

The supernatural qualities of a shifter will vary depending on form. For wolves, like Kieran, they have superior strength.

All shifters stop aging around their 30s. The oldest known shifter lived into their 700s. They died in battle, so it's not exactly known if there is an average lifespan or if they can live to be immortal.

Shifters heal two times faster than humans, but slower than vampires and werewolves.

Werewolves

Werewolves live in packs scattered across the world. Lone wolves are looked down upon, but are not hunted (unless they attempt to cause problems).

You can be born a werewolf or turned into one by another wolf.

Werewolves can only shift under the full moon and they cannot control it. They will shift. It is quite painful.

They have advanced healing capabilities and strength, in both forms (this is the same with shifters). Some shifters are stronger. It depends on the type of shifter and the type of wolf. For example, an Alpha is stronger than any shifter.

Werewolves and Vampires have had a peace treaty in effect for a few hundred years. Some are friends with each other, some despise each other. But fighting is forbidden so most attempt to stay out of each other's way. After all, they are both hunted...

Werewolves do not have a wolf spirit or anything like that, they are in full control of their mind when in form.

Thanks for the ask!

RO’s reaction to mc holding their face and saying “I can hold my whole world in my hands” aHHhhH

OK OKAY OMG LETS DO THIS

Alex "Ace" Walker: Alex, known for his daring and charismatic demeanor, would be momentarily taken aback by MC's unexpected touch. His expressive blue eyes would widen with surprise, and for a split second, the confident facade would crack. He'd feel a rush of emotions, a mixture of curiosity and vulnerability, as he looked into MC's eyes, searching for the meaning behind their words.

With a soft chuckle, he'd attempt to regain his composure, masking his inner turmoil with playful banter. "Well" he'd say, a playful smirk dancing on his lips, "I always knew you had a way with words. But holding the whole world? That's quite the responsibility. Better make sure you don't drop it"

Sofia "Slick" Martínez: Sofia, the strategic and composed driver, would meet MC's touch and words with an enigmatic smile. Her dark eyes would hold a subtle hint of surprise, softened by the sincerity of MC's gesture. She'd appreciate the vulnerability in MC's words, recognizing the depth of feeling behind them.

With a calm and measured tone, she'd respond, "You always manage to surprise me."

Max "Nitro" Nguyen: Max, known for his boundless enthusiasm and energy, would react surprisingly quiet. His eyes would widen in surprise, but the warmth of MC's hands on his face would bring an appreciative smile to his lips. It's a side of MC he hasn't seen before, and it intrigues him. His usually energetic would be softened by the unexpected intimacy. He'd place his hands gently on MC's wrists, locking eyes with them, and say, "You've got my world right here, too, MC." A moment of unspoken understanding would pass between them, and the race ahead would take on new dimensions.

Isabella "Izzy" Williams: Izzy, the level-headed team principal, would react with a subtle smile that betrayed her appreciation for MC's sentiment. Her experienced eyes would meet MC's with a touch of warmth and understanding. She'd find the vulnerability in MC's words endearing, recognizing the depth of their feelings.

With a gentle nod, she couldn't respond.

Luca Moretti: Luca, the seasoned race engineer, would react with a calm and thoughtful demeanor. His experienced eyes would study MC's expression, recognizing the depth of their sentiment.

With a reassuring pat on MC's shoulder, he'd respond, "MC, you have a way of capturing the essence of things. It's a beautiful sentiment. Just remember, we're all in this together, and we hold each other's worlds in our hands too."

Mia "Pitstop" Reynolds: Mia, the pragmatic and no-nonsense chief mechanic, would react with a raised eyebrow and a hint of bemusement. Her mechanic's hands, used to handling complex machinery, would briefly pause as she processed MC's unexpected touch and words. A wry smile would curve her lips as she quipped, "Well, MC, you've got a firm grip on my attention, that's for sure."

Mia's response would showcase her ability to appreciate the lighter side of life and racing, using humor to navigate the unexpected moments that often arise in the paddock.

Jean-Luc "JL" Dubois: JL, the veteran commentator with a flair for dramatic storytelling, would respond with theatrical enthusiasm. His eyes would twinkle with amusement as he observed the scene, he stared at MC for a minute before finally looking away not sure what to say.

Kieran "Racer" Patel: Kieran, the analytical data analyst, would react with a thoughtful and curious expression. His eyes would light up with a smile, and he'd respond in his characteristic manner, "That is definitely something, MC." he'd say, his tone gentle and appreciative. He'd then proceed to engage MC in a conversation about the significance of such moments in a fast-paced world.

Elena "Velocity" Petrov: Elena, the motorsport journalist, would react with a journalist's curiosity and a hint of playfulness. Her keen eyes would sparkle with intrigue as she observed the scene, and she'd respond with genuine interest, "Well, that's quite the...you've got there, MC." Her voice sounding as if she was entirely shocked.

If you rbed that OC codex prompts so that people will send you prompts: 7. Someone describing a way your OC hurt them (for any oc you feel like). If you just rbed it for personal reference, feel free to disregard! :P

oh no worries!! i did reblog it so people would ask, i've just got a bajillion of posts queued <3

7. someone describing a time your OC hurt them

A Faded Page, Encrusted in Candlewax Ten years have passed. His scrutinous gaze burns my skin still, encased in the amber of a little boy’s eyes. A song thick with blood escapes his lips at sundown, dripping into my ears through the cracks in the stone. His mother hears it not — the spellcraft at hand is older even than the arts she dabbles in. Steel my heart, o Lady, as the Maker has steeled Your own at the gates of Minrathous. Steel it, for it is my blood the fiend set ablaze and carved out of my body, in his pursuit of greatness on Your doorstep. Forge my hands into blades sharp, glistening and blue. Let me be soluble in air and rid the world of this noctious burden, this defiler, this— [The rest of the page lay severely stained by ink.]

oc patron saint game

tagged by (in a technical sense) @lamortwrites

tagging anyone n everyone do it i love seeing ocs

take this quiz for your ocs and find out what they’d be the patron saint of

kennedy - patron saint of houses

but not of homes. only the shells of what keeps us enclosed. houses can be decorated or well-built or crumbling or haunted but only a home can truly be warm; you are the patron saint of that lack.

otto - patron saint of martyrs

the patron saint of those who died to be like you. maybe you died to be like them too: but at the end of it, you weren't like them. patron saint of tragedy. saint of saints. it's you who holds the hands of the holy dead, and you who has to answer: what do they do if they regretted it?

samiah - patron saint of obsession

patron saint of devotion. of dedication. of passion. of everything you won't call it, in the spaces between. patron saint of holding tight to it until it bleeds. patron saint of pushing it too far. patron saint of staring into the sun until you're blind. patron saint of gazing onto beauty until you can't see anything anymore.

kieran - patron saint of houses

but not of homes. only the shells of what keeps us enclosed. houses can be decorated or well-built or crumbling or haunted but only a home can truly be warm; you are the patron saint of that lack.

cecil - patron saint of bones

patron saint of frameworks. of structures. of solidity. patron saint of things that break. patron saint of things that are left behind. the bones survive long after the body, the building: what is there left for them, when the rest has gone? what do bones do, with nothing to hold around them? who holds the bones?

[crewelintentions-if]

genuinely crazy that i have such a talented friend who likes my work very very crazy

Sometimes… you gotta match your bestie

@crewelintentions-if 💕

[dipplinduo]

Update @kekstala made the mistake of threatening me with Sweet & Sour Dipplins art as revenge so naturally I am going to retaliate by taking it out on everyone.

Grab your tissues and your pillows to scream in. 'Cause if we were going on a rollercoaster before, we are now going on a ride. :)

[dragonologist-phd]

Ah ok now it’s Darvis’s turn to get in my feelings because one running theme with him is how he really is very smart in practical settings and he picks up skills quickly and he has a natural interest in creative endeavors but none of that has ever been nurtured or valued or recognized, so by the start of the game he really believes that fighting is the only thing he’s good for

meet my ocs - 9/? — veronica kang being a girl with very large brown eyes comes with great responsibility

[archived-from-the-realm]

“Are you following me?”

“Hey, watch where you’re going.”

“You look vaguely familiar…” 

your pick of one of these prompts for whichever muse is underappreciated the most <3

“Hey, watch where you’re going.”

At the sudden words, Kieran stopped, narrowly avoiding walking right onto a half-decayed board and falling through the floor. He blinks in surprise as he looks down. With how lost in thought they were, he hadn't noticed it at all, and it really wouldn't have been fun to try to heal himself after a fall like that.. "Oh wow, that wouldn't have been fun at all. Thanks for the warning."

[bloodydesires-if]

May I know some facts about Kieran, please?

I hate Tumblr cause I typed all this out and it glitched 😭 anyway, here’s what I can think of off the top of my head.

Here are some Kieran Collins (KC) facts.

KC moves around every 10-15 years. He longs to return to his ancestral home in Dublin but knows it’s in good hands.

They have a lot of knives & daggers. Working and studying supernatural artifacts has allowed them to acquire many. Kieran even has some with special abilities.

Some of their favorites: the color purple, chocolate milkshakes, a Full Irish breakfast, and early morning jogs.

He doesn’t like crowds of people or being around a lot of people in general. It’s okay if he knows mostly everyone but otherwise, he’d rather pass.

What would the ROs’ reactions be to a usually calm, nonchalant MC acting uncharacteristically soft and cheerful around them? 

okay i tried my best with this one

Alex "Ace" Walker: Alex would be caught off guard by MC's sudden change in demeanor. Accustomed to MC's calm and nonchalant attitude, he would find their newfound softness and cheerfulness endearing. He might chuckle and playfully tease them about it, saying something like, "Well, well, look who's in a good mood today. Did someone sneak some extra sugar into your morning coffee?" He'd enjoy the lighter side of MC, perhaps even trying to evoke more of those cheerful moments in the future.

Sofia "Slick" Martínez: Sofia would raise an eyebrow, intrigued by the change in MC's behavior. She's used to reading people and their intentions, so the shift wouldn't escape her notice. She might engage MC in a bit of playful banter, saying, "I must say, this bubbly version of you is quite the surprise. Are you feeling alright?" Sofia would appreciate MC's more open side and might even share a genuine smile, intrigued by the layers of their personality.

Max "Maxy" Nguyen: Max would be the most enthusiastic about this change, embracing it wholeheartedly. He'd likely respond with infectious energy, exclaiming, "Whoa, MC, did you catch a dose of my enthusiasm? I knew it was contagious!" Max would revel in the cheerful energy, eager to keep the mood light and playful, and would probably make plans to spend more time together, hoping to further amplify MC's cheerfulness.

Isabella "Izzy" Williams: Izzy, as a perceptive team principal, would observe MC's change in demeanor with a knowing smile. She might comment casually, "I see someone's in high spirits today. Anything in particular lifting your mood?" Izzy would appreciate MC's willingness to show a softer side and might use the opportunity to strengthen their working relationship, discussing racing strategies or offering guidance while also enjoying the newfound warmth in MC's attitude.

Luca Moretti: Luca, the experienced race engineer, would likely notice the change in MC's behavior while analyzing telemetry data. He'd approach the situation with a calm and understanding demeanor. He might offer a light comment, saying, "A bit of extra energy today, I see. It's good to see you embracing a different side."

Mia "Pitstop" Reynolds: Mia, being practical and focused, might tease MC in a good-natured way. While she wouldn't dwell on the change, she'd subtly acknowledge it and might share a lighthearted laugh with MC, appreciating their cheerful outlook and the positive impact it brings to the team dynamic.

Jean-Luc "JL" Dubois: JL, the veteran commentator, would likely have a witty comment up his sleeve. He'd say something like, "Ladies and gentlemen, our usually composed MC seems to have caught a touch of the racing fever today, showing off a dazzling new personality trait!" He'd use his humor to highlight the change, creating an engaging moment during broadcasts while also encouraging MC to embrace their cheerful side.

Kieran "Racer" Patel: Kieran would notice the change through their interactions and data patterns. With a hint of curiosity, he might inquire. Kieran would appreciate MC's openness and might offer some light analysis to further explore the positive effects of their cheerful demeanor.

Elena Petrov: Elena would quickly catch wind of MC's uncharacteristic softness and cheerfulness. With a glint of curiosity in her eyes, she'd approach MC with a genuine smile and a question, "Well, well, what's the secret behind this newfound radiance, MC? Unveiling a hidden joy, or have you simply discovered the perfect pre-race playlist?"

[ladygangsters]
