#even though their relationship has greatly changed from what originally happened in the RP I still draw art for that stuff because it

[bayleaf-2]

Another sketch v.s. ink comparison! There's more art to go with this but it's angst so I'll post it separately.

Something something going back to my roots as an artist. Did you know that one of the very first things I drew when I was still getting a feel for art was Vivi. I'll have to grab a picture next time I go home lmao

RULES:

1. Themes might vary with this blog. I’m typically SFW, though may explore dark themes from time to time. There might be swearing; my muses rarely use such lingo, but the muses I roleplay with might.

Things will be tagged! I’ll try my best, anyways. If you want something in particular tagged, please let me know. The format I use for tagging is, for example, tw: swearing.

I don’t have any triggers but I do ask you tag all of your NSFW content.

That said, I won’t do anything NSFW - gore is okay, though.

I’m of age.

2. I’m a little selective, so I might be a pretty picky when it comes to who I interact with. Generally, though, I’ll interact with most folk, including canon, AU, Crossover, and original characters - as long as they’re literate/write para.

If it’s a crossover, I have to know the fandom and be at least a little bit confident with it. This is so I’m able to work with you, our thread and have muse for it.

If you’re a multimuse and I follow you, it’s usually because I know a couple of muses on your roster.

No godmodding or Mary-Sues, please. If you’re not sure what these terms mean, please look them up. This applies especially in fights if they happen (I’m chance-based and hope that you are too).

I can be picky with OCs. But rest assured, if you’ve followed me/interacted with my promo, I’ll always give your pages a read.

As I’ve said, I’m selective and as a result mutuals do take priority - but I don’t have to be following you for you to interact with me. It just means I’m more likely to interact with you if you’re a mutual.

Please don’t be offended if I don’t want to interact with you (and please don’t try to guilt me into doing so!).

As for following back, I usually take a week tops to do so - but if you’ve hit up my promo, I go through that eventually.

3. Please don’t rush me for starters or responses.

I have blogs galore and my muse tends to fluctuate; this can mean I’m everywhere at once and can end up neglecting a blog or two. It’s nothing personal; you know how muses are! Additionally, life happens to be a thing.

Please note the mun deals with anxiety and depression - this might affect how frequently she roleplays.

Chances are, I’ve probably has seen that bit of interactivity and just haven’t gotten around to responding yet.

My roleplaying style being para/multi-para, I may take a while to respond. I hoard drafts like a dragon - it’s really just the motivation to write and ship those out.

Just a reminder I hoard all your asks too, even weeks later. If I don’t respond to it, I’m either keeping it for a rainy day, or just can’t find the muse/interest for it currently.

4. Shippings? GO FOR IT FAM. As long as they’re of similar age, I’m probably down for it.

If I don’t happen to be interested, don’t force anything on my character.

I do not ship incestuous ships. Do NOT follow/interact if you do.

The ship has to have chemistry; I’m generally shipping trash, but if they don’t click, they don’t click, sorry.

This is a multi-ship blog, meaning there will be more than one ship without them conflicting with eachother.

If you want to ship and I already have a ship of your choosing going with a duplicate, please don’t hesitate to hmu! My ships aren’t exclusive and each character/relationship portrayal is unique to me!

Relationships are eternal until you deem otherwise.

5. Whilst I am of age, I’m not aiming for sexual content on this blog (and will not be dealing with fetishes). That stuff makes me uncomfortable, and I typically don’t recommend pulling it with my characters if you’re interacting with me (not to mention there will be kids muses here, so no). Nonetheless, should it arise, I will tag it appropriately.

6. About reblogs…

I am not a meme source, and reblogs clog up my activity. Please reblog any memes you find on this blog from their SOURCE. The exception to this rule is if there is no source; go ahead.

I don’t feel comfortable with Personals reblogging my IC or OOC posts, so please don’t do that. If I put something in the fandom tags for whatever reason (bar promos), you’re free to, though.

A few times is fine, as it happens, but repeatedly breaking these rules will result in me soft blocking you.

I try to participate in reblog karma as much as I can, but always reblog from the source/a meme source.

If a post or ask is for you, you’re free to reblog it to save it though - but only if you’re an rp blog!

7. I’m a para / multi-para blog, novella if I’m adventurous and have time. Whilst I may roleplay crack threads with shorter responses, this does not apply to all threads I write. This means:

I write my replies as detailed as I can muster.

Short responses (such as one-liners) in more serious threads where I’ve written a decent deal can instantly kill my muse for that thread.

Whilst I’d prefer for partners to at least somewhat match my length, it’s entirely up to you - just try your best and make sure you give me enough to work with. ♡

If my muse happens to go nuts out of nowhere - like, overboard - don’t stress too much about matching them.

If para roleplays are not your forte at all, it’s not recommended you roleplay with me seriously. Anything else outside that is fine, though - we can still have fun outside of proper threads.

8. Threads typically happen naturally with me, but if you’re looking for interaction opportunities:

I’ll have a permanent starter call somewhere for you to hit up; honestly though, if you’re a mutual? Pls feel free to hit it up.

Starter memes are the BEST way to interact me because they just yeet a prompt at my face and really help me write starters. If you see me reblog one, send one!

Although there’s not many now, PLEASE specify muse when you send me an ask. I won’t know who to respond with if you leave it vague, and I don’t want to disappoint people.

If there’s a verse you’re interested in, please specify.

If you want to turn an ask into a thread, go ahead! 

I may not roleplay with every starter I am given - I’ll do a ‘background check’ if you’re a new blog on the block. If I don’t feel your writing style/length matches mine, I might not respond. Apologies. ;__;

In that sense, I don’t recommend writing starters for me unless we’ve discussed something. I really don’t like to leave anyone hanging.

IMs are open to mutuals, if you want to do any in-depth plotting.

9. Guidelines on mains and relationships:

If we’re mutuals and we interact a lot, you’re welcome to ask me if I’d like to be your main!

Please don’t be offended if I deny, though; I typically want to pick those I trust to be my mains as well as people I can comfortably write with.

Not limited to them! I roleplay with duplicates galore so don’t be afraid to hit me up if you want to interact!

Pre-established relationships are a-okay in my book; if you have an idea for a relationship between our muses we can work towards, hit me up! I reblog those pre-established relationship memes every so often too. Romantic relationships link back to the shipping guidelines.

Also, friendship/family/rivalry relationships are EXTREMELY valid to me - so don’t feel scared about asking for them!

10. If you have any issues, please let me know and hopefully we can resolve it!

Mun is actually super nice, so don’t be afraid to hit her up!

I am absolutely terrible with IMs. I either respond quickly or days later, depends on my mood. Social anxiety tends to interfere with this - but honestly, if you’ve sent something, I’ve likely read it and just haven’t gotten around to it yet!

Please leave me out of drama; I’m here to have a good time, as is everyone else, and it pains me to see people arguing.

11. It’s easier with a clean dash for me, so I’m more likely to follow people who:

Trim their posts.

Have rules and about pages! I always read those before interacting or following!

If you don’t have either of those, I’m likely not to follow you - so make sure that you do!

12. On threads…

If you’re not interested in a thread anymore, and would like to drop it, please let me know! I’d feel terrible if we’re both not having fun with it or if partners feel overwhelmed with the amount of threads we have.

Honestly, unless I let you know, our threads have no expiry date - so no need to worry about me dropping them without telling you. I can just be quite slow sometimes.

13. Mun does not equal muse! Anything my muses might say does not reflect on how I think unless I explicitly say so.

14. The mun is TERRIBLE at breaking the ice. If I follow you, that means I WANT to interact with you - I’m just building up the confidence to do so! (Memes help greatly with this kinda thing.)

15. These rules may be subject to change.

Please like this post if you’ve read the rules! You don’t have to, but it’s of personal reassurance to me if you have.

[ kaya scodelario, twenty-seven, cis female, she/her ] ━ hey, I just saw [ willow mendes ] walking down the streets of crownsville. they’ve lived in town for [ six months ], and you can catch them around town working as a [ tattoo artist ]. I hear they’re known to be [ courageous & kind hearted ] and [ secretive & self deprecating ]. if asked, they would say their aesthetic would be [ coffee stains, sea salty hair, intricate dotwork tattoos, restless hands, smudged eyeliner, lipstick on a plastic fork, paint ridden fingertips, whispered secrets, and beaming smiles ].

in the wise words of our lord & saviour, kuzco... boom baby ! guess who’s back ! 6+ months later than planned ! me ! so, hi ! i’m m ! you may remember me from such roles as, believe it or not, this ol’ worm if you’ve been around a hot minute ( but with a different name ! there’s already a hazel so i switched it to her alt whoops ! ) and from helping v out on the main a few weeks ago ( mena massoud ? mena massoud ! ) if you’re new-er ! i was here Before from the Beginning for like... ages, and then a lot of personal shit cropped up and i had to Yeet but guess who’s back,,, back again,,, me !

so lowkey coming back was like,, an impulsive thing,, lmao. like, i’d planned to sort some shit out and then come back in a couple of weeks and then that did Not work out, but then i was tempted on and off for months, and then babysitting the main for v again made me so much more tempted and then v was the best influence and here i am ! i went back and forth with characters and faces and things, and was tempted by loads of the wc’s ( y’all are creative as shit ! there’s so much good stuff on there omg ! ) and idk me and v were talking about it and,, i couldn’t help it, so i brought ma girl back. revamped a little, and taking her back to her Roots and when i originally played her like ,,, two years ago or something #Wild like that, so have some bullet points about this absolute goblin !

trigger warnings: alcoholism, death.

( also quickly before i go into shit, i’m gonna be a little spotty for a few days but by like,, wednesday i should be Here, Queer, and ready to Partie. however, wills’ bio and stats and shit needs updating name wise and idk if after getting this up i’ll have time, so if you could just bare with me, that’d be greatly appreciated ) 

oh god okay this is gonna be a mess

but first off: girlie has stats !! tasty !! 

she was born in crownsville to two young but loving parents, who hadn’t exactly planned for her but were willing to devote their lives to her once she arrived. for the first few years of her life, everything was perfect, and her parents got by no matter what challenges life threw at them, as at least they always had eachother and their little girl. 

everything was hunky dory ( or, it was from willow’s child-pov ) until willow was eight, when her dad died unexpectedly. after that, her mother was never the same, and she struggled to raise wills alone. willow did her best to make their lives as decent as possible, but it wasn’t easy, and her mother certainly didn’t help that.

she stayed in crownsville until the age of eighteen. she eventually went off to new york after she had a pretty, uh, Eventful year ( it’s kind of A Lot and i don’t really wanna go into it too Deep here but i have a full bio for her if you want it ! all the trigger warnings are clearly labelled ) but first, after battling an increasingly severe drinking problem for a few years, at eighteen she went to atlanta to get sober and sort her life out a little. once she did, she took an apprenticeship opportunity in new york and headed out there to start Afresh ( maybe moving to an entirely different state while freshly sober wasn’t a good idea but listen...........that’s the way she rolls, baby ) 

she loved ny, and did all the Struggling Artist shite while trying to #FindHerself, and got herself a tiny matchbox of an apartment to Thrive in. she started over, grateful for the opportunity to have a second chance at life now her perspective had been shifted, and get the fuck on with her life. 

so before she moved back in january, she hadn’t lived in crownsvillle since she was eighteen, and although she claims she came back ‘because of work’ that actually translates, in willow, to ‘because i missed it’ 

she got what she needed from new york after living there for five years, and another change was necessary. however, she didn’t want to keep running, and hopping from place to place and state to state every time something bad happened, as her parents were ‘free spirits’ and floated around to wherever the wind blew them until willow came into their lives, and she really doesn’t want to become either of them, so when her boss at her tattoo parlour in new york mentioned something about wanting to open another shop ( ‘maybe boston, or atlanta...’ ) willow, after just getting out of a Less Than Loving relationship, suggested a lil’ place just outside of atlanta that y’all may have heard of, and offered to keep an eye on the place. so she packed up her shit and moved back home, completely unrecognisable from the mess that left all those years ago, and she now lives in the apartment above the shop ! she hates it !! but she lives there nonetheless !! with her two beloved goldfish, ernie and bert !! 

after her last relationship ( f i n a l l y ) came to an end, and a few years of confusion and inaccurate labels, she ( F I N A L L Y !! ) accepted that she’s a flaming lesbian and started identifying as such. after coming back to crownsville she might’ve been a little hesitant to reveal that information to anybody who knew her before, just because she felt like it might be a bit of a Shock considering the shit she used to get up to when she was last in town ( as a teen, she was dealing with enough already and wouldn’t even let herself think it; in her eyes, the last thing she needed was an identity crisis piled on top of everything else ) but now it’s been a little while it’s more well Known. new people in her life, though, are faaaar more likely to be in the know, it ain’t no secret. plus she can be a bit of a hoe so like.............. the fellow wlw in town also probably know lmao  

her life has made her a little bit Messy as a person, but she’ll be a complete dumpster fire while giving you a smile and doing her dang best. she adores her job ( and is, if i may say, pretty dang good at it. she trained up & became a fully qualified tattoo artist, specialising in dotwork, while in new york ) and she’s also pretty dang good at the people side of her job, too & and she’s trying her best to be a good person. like,,, she’s done some shit she’s not proud of that make her think she’s a bad person, so she’s like Actively Trying to be a better person despite the fact that she’s lowkey got a heart of gold. her morals are just a lil askew, y’know ? she’s Trying

honestly i never know what to say in intros lmao, especially with wills since i’ve written so many for her, but if you want more info feel free to read other intros i’ve whipped up for her before: boop, boop, & boop. 

so i can settle back into playin willy and being back, i’m gonna say willow’s been away for a couple of weeks and only recently Come Back within the last couple of days or something like that ??

also some shit about me to finish: honestly, i love small/medium gifs. i know, i’m awful. but for the Aesthetic and so things match i usually use gif icons ?? but tbh if you use bigger gifs, i’ll whack mine out happily. but i also love rp icons and have a bunch of ‘em that i love to use so you’ll see those Bad Boiz too. i also use small text but feel free to make it bigger when you reply if that’s the way the good lord made ya, i don’t mind in the slightest. i’m not the plottiest of people tbh ( or like,, pre-plotting ? ) so tbh u don’t have to message me to plot just bc u feel obliged to, but if you have ideas feel free to hmu ! i will, ofc, do the same ! and if a thread gets going and ideas spark, i’m all for that !!

[missycolorful]

(tags by @/hhmellohi don't apologize ever, hand over your essays you bastards! /lh)

Oh shit fuck, I was going to just leave the post as it was, because I was like "Nah this should cover my reasoning on that bs enough" but I CAN'T LET IT GO because you're SO right. But it's interesting, because how you described it, yes, it is not considered a retcon, at least in the modern slang.

(This got so long what is wrong with me!??!?)

In modern day, the term retcon seems to have much more negative connotation than before. The original term simply refers to the reframing of a past character or scene. Aka the scenes we're discussing here, so it is technically a retcon! Nowadays, though? It seems to be a term used to describe changing context of a scene in a way that contradicts certain other aspects to the story; like, it's a pretty bad term.

In the case for Phil's character, that definition isn't really true. Aside from maybe a few lines of dialogue, there's no massive contradiction to the story with these new elements, not enough to cause huge plot holes or completely fuck up the characters in those scenes.

(And honestly, the amount of contradicting dialogue I've seen in the Dream SMP in the general aspect is astronomical. It's just called we're not professional writers, we're just doing fun rp. It's not going to be perfect. Well, it can also be called It's been a long while, the way I rp my character has changed, because I and my writing of my character has changed, which shouldn't be a bad thing, but I digress!)

What is reframed in these scenes is c!Phil's lack of knowledge in what really happened with Wilbur in L'manberg. And this trait can very easily be implemented into the story without too many issues being presented. He barely talked to anyone about L'manberg's history or Wilbur in the first place (not like he'd ask anyone, either; that'd require being emotionally prepared to talk about his son which--oh, he's gone... there he goes...). In the Button Room, there was only so much said between him and Wilbur, so his lack of knowledge really isn't that immersion breaking. And even with the actual Big Bad Thing, you're right! Wilbur's suicide was not any less tragic or fucked up by this added element. Like, Phil still fucked up, and that guilt is still there regardless of context. So, idk, the negative way people use 'retcon' for these scenes doesn't feel right.

If anything, the lies in the letters are actually extremely fitting for Wilbur's character. Between the lies he builds to pretend he is in control of a situation, as well as his desire to be admired by those he cares about, which leads into his belief that he needs to hold power and a title, because he thinks he needs those to be loved. This context adds a lot to a whole other character, as opposed to ruining him for the sake of just c!Phil's character building. Which is fucking great.

Heck, their father-son relationship writing feels way more powerful. As opposed to just "oops, dad killed mentally ill son, and uh... that's it, wow he sucks," it's different! Now it's more like, "Phil struggles to understand the man before him; he thought everything was okay and good, but it wasn't. Wilbur isn't the same person he was before he started the drug van. And Wilbur can only hope that his father still loves the man he is now."

Like FUCK, ISN'T THAT SO MUCH MORE HEARTBREAKING?! And complex and tragic?!? These adjustments in the story add real depth and emotion to a scene that beforehand, yes, was still pretty tragic. But both characters and their relationship have benefitted greatly in a storytelling aspect from these retcons. Even if it's not what originally happened, does not mean that it cannot work. It can, and as long as they can make it work, that's more than enough for me, and I personally feel that that should be respected more by the fans.

Whenever I hear people complain about cc!Philza retconning some of what happened before and around Nov 16th, saying like "why did he add in the letters and Wilbur's lies? Or that he didn't know Wilbur only had one life left? Why couldn't he have just massively fucked up in the moment? As opposed to the cc just trying to make him sympathetic?" my eyes wanna roll straight up into my skull.

It baffles me because... c!Philza literally wasn't supposed to kill his son. It was improved to hell and back. I think cc!Philza is more than allowed to do whatever he wants with his character in that scene, given how cc!Wilbur pretty much forced him into it lmaoooo

[fmdxjerome]

Heyhey, I’m the memer behind the suave fuckboi Jérôme. The name’s Naomi and if u like rap or just khiphop in general pls hit me up lets talk about my cHILDREN or my actual dad Simon Dominic. Also. Plot page is almost done [check back tomorrow or the day after GMT+1 time] but I’m always open to plot just on the fly, u feel. I’m very excited to finally rp this kid, ugh he’s so beautiful. I don’t even fuck with Got7 that much but Jaebum just works greatly and he’s my small son even though he could break me with his bicep but whatevs.

Ugh, I’m so excited to be here! (/ ‘з’)/

Under the cut you’ll get a “brief” look of his backstory (if you haven’t got the time to read my novel lmao. I do highly recommend it though for more details and such because I suck at summaries) plus some random facts cuz idk yooo

Also his name is technically Jérôme but I’m lazy af so I just write Jerome lol you can just write Jerome too lolol

Trigger Warning: Racism, Yellow Fever type ish, Bad Adoption and Violence kinda? (this shit heavy son :( )

First I want to clarify I’m Biracial (black/white) and I’ve suffered from some gross racist shit in the past but in no way am I trying to speak over Korean struggles regarding the topic. I tried to apply my own experiences to Jerome’s life like struggling with rejecting culture, European beauty standards, internalized colourism and just growing up not being able to talk to people going through the same stuff. My life hasn’t been as crazy as Jerome’s thank god but I just wanted to clarify before you dive into this or his biography. Wow, heavy. I’m sorry lol. Anyway, please enjoy my tiny son and I hope we’ll rp soon!

Mom got persuaded by her family to put him on adoption because she wasn’t married and dead beat dad just left her when it was discovered she was with child. He got adopted at the age of two by a Franco/Anglo couple who reside in France.

Adoptive parents have a bad case of the yellow fever.

Raised in France multilingual (French, English) Also Korean but when he got older he got really reluctant to it. Only when he met Marie he got into it again and then he went to Korea. So he would still make mistakes. 

He was named after his adoptive grandfather Jérôme Gauthier Senior and Leslie Cheung, the singer and actor. His birth name is Jeon Jun-Hoe. (but he doesn’t know his birth name)

When growing up he was often seen as “other” by classmates in a negative racist way and by his parents in a “positive” racist way. (note; positive in this sense doesn’t mean it was good for him, it was terrible for him. What I mean with “positive racism” is instead of viewing a race in a negative light (e.g. black people are all lazy) the subject is seen in a positive light that has negative connotations (e.g. Asian people are all hardworking). Even though hard working is a good attribute, it can cause negative feelings towards the person of that certain race. Fetishizing a culture or a race is never okay and in Jerome’s story he still bares the scars of it. 

Finally didn’t feel like an other when he met his now best friend Freddy who introduced him to his own friends.

Got into Hiphop mostly because of his friend Freddy but started songwriting a year before that. (Outkast is his shit bro)

Started a hiphop trio with Freddy and another friend Khaled called Blanc.

People loved them tbh they were great.

Hiphop gave his life a purpose. An outlet if you will. He was quite the emo little shit when he was younger. (and understandably so. :( my son.)

Had a lot of fights w/ his parents.

Lived with his grandpa for awhile when he couldn’t bare to be in the same room as his parents, let alone the same house.

Eventually moved to Paris to pursue higher education.

Met the love of his life there. (Y O G A P A N T S) 

It was awkward but great.

Marie aka the love of his life went to the same school as him and they dated for a long time before she eventually cheated on him.

Before she cheated on him though she helped him accept his Korean heritage (something his parents stripped away from him due to them forcing it upon him.) 

Went to New York in the summer of 2012 and got offered a job at a major record label when the CEO heard his lyrics. 

His girlfriend cheated on him during that time and found out a few months later after he returned to France. Almost beat the shit out of the dude who she cheated on him with.

Got expelled from school because of that fight. (parents blamed the “violent” rap music) and because life felt meaningless in Paris. He grabbed his bags and moved to Seoul to work under the record label.

Asked his adoptive parents for his adoption papers in that time because he couldn’t find his birth parents without them. Parents basically refused and he just fell head first in work to forget that. He also drank a lot sometimes but only when stress got to him.

Eventually changed companies to write under BC Entertainment before they signed him to BCreate. (his honey voice was too much for KBC lmao no but really though)

Ex girlfriend made an appearance during his debut years. (*writes connection form ;)*) got like really emo and savage during that time. 

Now that he got moved to just the regular BC Entertainment he’s really nervous about the past haunting him. With more fame more eyes are on him and just one slip up could ruin his career. Having almost beaten someone up is a great first scandal. Misogynistic words to his ex is another (I mean he called her a whore tho. like boi.) and being adopted ? oh boi. my poor son. 

PLS LOVE HIM HE NEEDS LOVE HE’S SO EMO DON’T LET HIS FUCKBOY AESTHETIC FOOL YOU ITS JUST PROTECTION. HE HAS DEMONS. PLS HOLD HIM.

Random facts!

I actually got inspired to write Jerome because I was struggling between Jooheon or Namjoon and I randomly started adding on an old muse of mine. 

Is connected to another muse of mine on my indie blog lol I’m like the Disney Channel I like to crossovers.

He has two tattoo’s, one on his right hip of a French Cavalry pistol because his grandfather had one in his antique shop *nudity warning* [x] [x] the model is Julian Schratter btw love him he’s great. And one which I’m still musing about. 

Dyed his hair pink to show support for female rappers as he’s now a producer/judge on Show Me The Money 6. You would think with his fuckboy image he’d be misogynistic but no women are great and he wants more women in the hiphop scene. His princesses are Jessi and Cheetah and his queen is Yoon Mirae tbh. He gets so excited when he hears good female rappers. 

Has a Oriental Short Hair as cat. Her name is Edith or Edi named after Edith Piaf, his grandfathers favourite singer. (here is how I see her [x] its a video) She’s like his true wife. If you ever catch him with her you might be confused at how cute Jerome suddenly is.

Looks down on idol rappers a lot. Not all of them (he’d be cool with rappers like Zico, Rap Monster, etc.), but just the manufactured ones. You know the ones that couldn’t sing so they debuted as a rapper, know nothing about hip hop. Those ones. Hiphop saved him in a way and to see pretty boys disrespect the art like that just rubs him the wrong way. He’s pretty vocal about it too and yo fans of groups drag him for it lol. It’s great I love it. 

The Weeknd is his favourite artist of this time. Like he has that image he tries to emulate. 

Is actually pretty sweet though. Like Marie and his parents fucked him up and with stress consuming him he’s kinda distant but get him comfortable and he’s a really kind soul. The kind of type to have you lay on his lap whilst you rant about your problems and he just listens.

Hates when foreign fans call him “oppa” like boi he will come for you. He once almost called out a girl doing that at the airport. He eventually just “tsk’ed” her as he walked to his car lol. Jerome is my idol. I’m srry KBC He’s not an idol he has a hard time controlling himself.

Has troubles dating so he doesn’t date at all. Like he really needs to fall for you to get him to start a relationship again but lol trust issues and a fucked up view of love kinda ruins him as a partner. I mean if your muse wanna try be my guest but GOOD LUCK lol.

Never dated a guy before because he only realized he was kinda bi when he was 19 and at the time he was in a relationship. And after that ended he went to Korea. So he only ever fucked with girls.

The story behind his “bi discovery” was thanks to the land of the free *eagle screeches in the background* basically he saw a guy and he was like “wow... ? what ?? okay.. ? you’re cute in like a ‘let me hold you and give you kisses’ kinda way ?? but you’re a dude?? o ?” but he never acted upon shit obviously. (COUGH ITS A PLOT COUGH) In hindsight he wishes he did something so he could’ve been like “I CHEATED ON YOU TOO YOU BITCH” but he’s a faithful boi. 

Hates liars. Please don’t lie to him. This isn’t for his sake but for your muses sake lmao he’s awful when he finds out. He holds a grudge.

Has a real bad self image due to years of racism thrown at him. Like complimenting him is like poison to him. Compliment his work not his looks. 

Contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t really sleep around a lot. His last sexual partner was probably before his debut tbh. 

Donates to the orphanage he was from secretly because he cares a lot. If the fame ever runs out he’d probably end up working there. 

Dig hard enough on youtube and you’ll find his old youtube channel where he uploaded covers and original songs together with Khaled and Freddy. It’s really nice. He seemed happy.

Is very suffocating when he cares. Like when he really likes you he’ll REALLY like you. You feel me? (he hasn’t learned from Marie because he never asked why she cheated on him? So IF he eventually becomes close to someone again, he might find himself in the same situation. C R I E S.)

eh eh do i know more little facts? idk it’ll be in his profile when I finally get around to making it (i had a whole week but suddenly everything happened in that week so i couldnt do it. but it’ll be up soon *nodnod*

Okay that’s it for now. Again. I CAN’T WAIT TO RP WITH Y’ALL I hope you’ll enjoy my muse <3

[raitrolling]

charon is my favorite, can we get some deets about him?

omg im glad but i also gotta question ur taste in taste in trolls cuz charon is legitimately the worse lmao

but anYWAY if ur just looking for simple facts, check out his toyhou.se profile, but otherwise cuz i didnt know what to write deets-wise i ended up getting carried away textwalling the entire history of charon’s character so enjoy?? i guess????

charon was my first troll who i made way back in late 2010, sometime after i caught up with the comic (which iirc was the make her pay flash). at first i was like ‘lol fantrolls are a dumb idea why would you make characters if alternia no longer exists in the comic’, but then i discovered the trollslum board on mspaf and the types of really creative trolls people had come up with and now 6 years later im still stuck in fantroll hell LMAO. but charon didnt rly have much of a concept back then apart from doing the thing im sure a good 70% of people making their first fantroll did and choosing the lime green colour thats supposed to be in between sollux and nepeta, as well as wanting him to be some creepy dude who loves blood and fighting because i was still in my edgy phase back then rifp

this pic here was the oldest one i could find of him, i lost a lot of my 2010 arts when my old external harddrive corrupted, and the oekaki i used to draw him on no longer exists so i cant grab anything from there either. i cry looking at the horrid anatomy omg

so then i started rping him on mspaf (which was the first time i rly rped, apart from randomly jumping into other peoples rps on other forums when i was 10 cuz i didnt know wtf it was but i wanted to be cool and write characters too lmao) and he just kinda developed from there i guess?? since he came from a friendless background he ended up getting really attached and protective of the friends and quads he ended up making, which ended up being taken up to 11 and turning into his obsessive tendencies he has now (though i ended up retconning all his past relationships because at the state hes at now, he would never be able to move on from losing so many people and id be stuck with Yet Another Ball Of Angst OC)

the story about his lusus has been changed a couple times too, originally kitedad was just some big angry bird who was attacked by another troll so charon was seeking revenge, but then retcons happened. somewhere down the line i was like ‘yknow charon’s p full on when it comes to trying to help his friends to the point where hed definitely try to hurt them so he could keep them safe, that mustve come from somewhere’ and now we have the awful abusive/codependent mess that exists today

i think a lot of his development came from the way i kept reinterpreting his behaviour too. ive mentioned on this blog a couple times That Weird Black Butler Cosplayer I Almost Dated Back In High School, who, while im sure he meant well, said and did some real creepy shit like turning up to my house unannounced as he found out where i lived cuz we took the same bus home and had memorised the route, as well as turning up uninvited to parties (dressed as fuckign sebastian. i wish i was joking. even my 2011 ultra weeb ass thought that was embarrassing) i was going to because there was gonna be alcohol there and he thought i needed ‘protection’, and also texting me this incredibly detailed dream he had of saving me from bullies and whatnot and that just made me go HOLD ON THIS BEING PROTECTIVE OF SOMEONE THING IS ACTUALLY REALLY WEIRD so i wanted to channel that kind of creepiness into charon. also his guilt trippy tendencies and making everyone’s problems about him is the same shit people have pulled on me before so lmao.

tho that being said, ive never really intended for charon to be 100% irredeemable?? he’s really only ever been intentionally malicious to those who have hurt him or his friends, so he’s more... incredibly misguided to the most extreme degree. he knows what behaviours get what he wants, but doesn’t understand that those behaviours are harmful to others, and he’s hopelessly loyal and protective, but these traits are coloured by the fact he’s got a poor sense of boundaries and doesn’t recognise when he’s going too far. he’s an interesting character for me to write, but finding that exact balance has always been difficult and i still dont know if ive got him pinned down properly yet. i always get happy when i post something related to him and i get messages from people who are just ‘holy shit charon’, it makes me feel like ive done a good job at capturing his character lmao

he kinda came full circle in a sense, from horrible edgy disgusting creep to somewhat of a nice guy with the occasional weirdness to legitimate disgusting creep who happens to also be a nice guy?? idk unlike a lot of my trolls who have gone through a lot of development charon is one of the few who still has a lot of his core concepts, just refined greatly

Mobile Rules || Long Post

Location

Don’t assume your muse is always in the same location as Redstrike. Generally speaking, interactions will be handled through comm lines or Tumblr/the DataNet unless there is an in-character or out-of-character reason/agreement for Redstrike and your muse to meet somewhere. I’ll make exceptions for god-tier muses, and starters/prompts that require interaction between muses who are within the same physical space.

For reasons why you’re muse is not allowed to immediately start physical interactions see this post.

The ask and submission box are open.

Godmodding

Don’t godmod/powerplay. I acknowledge and understand that Redstrike isn’t all powerful and can’t win everything, but I don’t appreciate having my muse unfairly bulldozed without warning either. Speaking honestly too, I have very little experience in writing fights, and what experience I do have is very poor, so I prefer to avoid them if at all possible. If our muses do end up getting in a fight, you and I will likely need to communicate a lot about what’s going on so I can get a better idea of what’s being expected of me and what I need to do. If you don’t want to be bothered with discussions about the fight please let me know so we can collaborate on an agreed ending and handwave the thread’s conclusion.

Don’t start plots/threads that will greatly affect Redstrike with other people without consulting me first. I’m not saying you can’t create these plots or play them out, but that I want to be a part of the discussions as well because it’s not fair for you to make up a story involving my muse without telling me.

Multiverse, AUs, and Shipping

Multiverse

I’m selective, but I’m willing to play with all Transformers characters and continuities. Canon characters and original characters are equally welcome. I’m also willing to play with characters from non-Transformers series, but I may need help with understanding them/the show they’re from if I don’t know it very well.

All characters will be treated as though they’re from a completely different universe from Redstrike’s. Don’t assume your character is a part of his universe or assume him to be a part of your character’s. I’m already sharing his universe with a friend and will not be making any sudden changes without their permission and input.

I’m not exclusive with anybody, so I’ll role play with duplicates and treat them all as separate entities from each other. Redstrike will not mix any duplicates with each other and treat them all like they individuals they are.

It’s fine if you want to create a new verse so you can interact with Redstrike freely, but I won’t make a similar verse to be paired up with your’s unless I’m considering it to be an AU. Otherwise, Redstrike will remained fixed in one universe.

AUs

I’m always willing to play with AUs. AU threads will always be tagged to distinguish them from the main universe.

Shipping

I’m open to shipping all kinds of relationships (romance, friends, enemies, frenemies, ect.). I’m open to preestablished relationships with discussion.

Redstrike is polygamous so all romantic relationships will be happening at the same time, in the same universe. If and when new romantic relationships develop I’ll get a hold of my ship partners to let them know of the new development, and will have Redstrike get a hold of his partner(s) so they will know. It is okay if you/your character do not want Redstrike pursuing other romantic relationships. That is a perfectly valid desire and I will respect it. However, given that he is polygamous and not interested in being exclusive this will likely end the romantic relationship, so that all parties can be happy.

Greeting Posts and Text Patterns

Greeting Posts

I will not write a greeting post/thread for you unless your character really strikes my muse’s interest. You are more than welcome to write a greeting post/thread for me though if the interest strikes you. I will answer it.

Text Patterns

“This is speech.” Voice Claim: Peter Jessop. (Example 1 [The Exo voice]; Example 2 [The first one to speak/the Exo])

/:This is comm line speech.:\

//: This is text message.

This is regular stuff like actions between speech or text on a post.

[Actions may also be like this if the thread is script format.]

Thoughts will be written like general text but in italics and outside of quotation marks.

((This is mun talk.)) // - This is also mun talk when I am commenting on your post or making a long out of character post.

Replying and Messaging

I’ll reply to threads as soon as I can, but generally speaking I’m going to be slow with them. Between my job, my other hobbies, and my overall ability to tap into my muse I don’t have the time and energy to be online everyday, writing out replies all day long. Please have patience with me. If it seems like I’ve forgotten our thread though feel free to send me a massage about it. One reminder is all I’ll need though so please don’t give me multiple reminders about our thread.

Don’t tell me to stylize my posts or to write novella lengths if I’m not feeling it. If you want to stylize your posts and use extra prose with your writing that’s fine, but I don’t find it enjoyable so I won’t be doing it too.

Please do not message me in character through the Tumblr IM feature because I will be using to speak out of character.

Askbox Memes

If I reblog a meme that implies that your character is familiar with Redstrike then your character actually needs to be familiar with Redstrike. I can’t give a deep and detailed response if I have no history to work with, and I don’t enjoy making something out of nothing.

You’re welcome to make in-character and out-of-character comments on all my answered memes, even if you weren’t the person who sent the prompt. You’re welcome to turn in-character meme prompts and comments into thread starters.

I don’t enforce reblog karma on my blog.

Magic Anons and Anons In General

Magic Anons (M!As)

I accept magic anons (M!As). However,

I won’t activate a magic anon the moment I get it. I’ll keep the spell in my inbox until I have some plots planned out and an opening in my personal life to play out the magic.

I’ll alter spells as I need to and see fit (usually to extend or shorten time periods).

I won’t accept any spells that force Redstrike to be bonded to someone, start carrying a random sparkling, trigger overloads, or cause him to be in a heat spell.

Spells that force Redstrike to feel a specific emotion towards someone will be accepted so long as the other player (if another player must be involved in the spell) is okay with it.

Attempts to change his gender (ie: make him a femme instead of a mech) will not work because he does not work on the mech/femme gender binary. His universe has frame types; His current frame type is peregrine.

I’ll delete any spells that don’t follow these rules or that don’t strike my interest.

Anons In General

Anonymous messages will be treated as they are: anonymous messages. Anons that start to imply or show a physical presence will either be treated as a small, grey humanoid creatures or as a NPC mecha, depending on the location of Redstrike. (If he’s alone on Crossfire, anons will be treated like creatures; If he’s on Cybertron, anons will be treated like mecha.)

Please don’t metagame through anonymous asks (ie: sharing private information of another character to Redstrike or visa versa). It may be tempting to do this so plots can get going much faster, but I want stories happen in an organic fashion.

Miscellaneous

IC =/= OOC; In character things are not to be treated like out of character things. Redstrike can, does, and will say or do things that I, the mun (Mud), do not wholly agree with. If you imply or act like that Redstrike’s words and actions are a reflection of my personal character I will unfollow and block you.

Don’t interact with/follow me if you’re an anti of any kind. I don’t care what it is you’re against, whether it’s a ship, a genre, or a depiction of violence. Fiction isn’t reality and the notion that it is or that fiction will inspire people to do real life harm is annoying and dangerous. I don’t care to have discussions about this. I don’t care to walk on eggshells around other people because they refuse to mind their own business and let others enjoy dark fiction. I’ll also be blocking any antis I see to protect myself from harassment.

NAME: Maddie

AGE: 24

TIMEZONE:  GMT

PRONOUNS: She/her

ACTIVITY LEVEL: I lurk from my phone pretty constantly, and I usually get online for replies at least three times a week, if not more! I’ll definitely keep in touch if it looks like that’s going to change though.

PREVIOUS ROLEPLAY EXPERIENCE: I’ve been roleplaying for about seven years now, although I did have a few years off in there. I’ve explored most genres of RP but always in a groups with a leaning towards longer, denser replies. I’ve been a keen writer for even longer, probably more than ten years now, and I love RP as a way of practicing that. Most of my experience is on Tumblr, although I did do a few forum RPs back in the day and - don’t let this lower your opinion of me - Omegle RPing, where you search for partners with similar interests and I used the Sherlock RP tags. Yikes, I know.

{{ CHARACTER INFORMATION }}

CHARACTER NAME: Moon Mi Na, goes by Mina Moon for the sake of simplicity.

PRONOUNS: She/her

AGE: 21

ORIGIN: The Guardian.

FACE CLAIM: Lee Ji Eun (or Im Jin Ah as my second choice! They both have acting credits with a good number of resources so hopefully these will be fine despite being musicians originally)

QUOTE: If there is nothing but what we make in this world, let us make it good.

OCCUPATION: Personal Trainer

PERSONALITY:

Hard working. Mina has never half assed anything in her life, being very much from the school of ‘if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing right’. She never hesitates to get stuck in to a task, whether that’s in her daily life or her vigilante work. In fact, she flounders if she doesn’t have a task to work on, and very much likes to keep herself busy. Even if something is onerous or unpleasant, she’ll never complain.

Optimistic. Attitude is central to Mina’s life philosophy, and she tries her best to never let anything get her down. When her mother was training her to fight, she always focused on the fact that the criminal you are fighting is probably the hero of their own story. This taught Mina to be sympathetic even towards her foes, and she never treats anyone poorly without very good cause. It would be easy to let life wear her down, confronted with as many villains as there are in Newhaven, but she makes a conscious effort not to let that happen and always remain upbeat.

Demanding. Having always been pushed to her limits, Mina sees nothing wrong with pushing others to theirs. This mostly comes out with her clients at the gym, who receive so much constructive criticism it tends to feel like plain criticism. It comes from a good place but can often make her difficult to be around; she’s the first to criticise something of poor quality, even if it’s something so simple as her latte in the morning. For her, perfection is the only standard worth presenting. For the barista, they’re probably just a kid in college trying to make some extra spending money, wondering why this customer is so aggressive about something so minor. It’s borne from a place of wanting to see people achieve their potential, and she means well by it, but can often come off as abrasive.

Obsessive. Once Mina sets her mind to something, she focuses on little else - it goes beyond dedication or passion. She has very little time for hobbies in her life, and consequently very few friends, as she feels that any time spent lounging around in a bar or watching a movie is time wasted. Should she accidentally sleep in for an hour or spend too long socialising with a client, she berates herself for it and even finds herself getting anxious that she should be doing something. There’s a fear deep within her that if she lets down her guard, something terrible will happen.

Restrained. Mina is extremely good at resisting temptation, and has excellent self control - you’ll never see her grabbing a doughnut on her way to work. This is generally viewed as a good thing, because she keeps herself in excellent shape, completes any tasks she sets herself, and never does anything she may later regret. On the flip side, however, she never allows herself to indulge in anything, and can often be seen as a bit of a wet blanket among her colleagues. The concept of treating herself is pretty foreign to Mina, and though she doesn’t see this as a bad thing, she will likely regret not allow herself to enjoy life a little more.

Emotional. Although she was raised a fighter, she was always taught the importance of self expression as a form of control: if you allow yourself to lock all your emotions away, they may burst out at an inopportune moment and cause you to make mistakes. Consequently, Mina tends to be very open with her thoughts and feelings - whether for good or for bad.

BIOGRAPHY: The year was 1693, and Moon Ji Su knew her life would soon be over. The people of Salem had been murmuring about her for weeks - an outsider, a stranger - and so she took her thirteen year old daughter, Yu Na, into the forest. There, she pressed a silver token in the shape of a circle with a line through it into Yu Na’s hands and told her to hold it close in times of need. That night, Ji Su was tried as a witch and burned. The people came for Yu Na next, because the daughter of a witch must surely be tainted by association, and Yu Na clutched the silver token in her palm with closed eyes as she whispered a prayer. She and her mother had travelled such a long way, thinking they could begin a new, better life in America. They were wrong.

When the people laid their hands on her, she fought back and found in herself a strength greater than that of any human; she fought them all off and fled into the night to start her life anew for the second time. That silver token that bestowed the strength upon her, shaped in the alchemical symbol for salt, was a gift and she meant not to waste it. She travelled, and fought on behalf of the persecuted. When she settled down later in life, she passed her talisman down to her daughter and taught her of its strength. A Moon woman must always hold this talisman, she said, and she must keep her own name even in marriage because they must uphold her mother’s legacy.

Such is the story that Mi na’s mother told her, just as her own mother had told her. There is little evidence of Moon Ji Su’s existence, and it is likely that the story has been added to and altered and embroidered over the years - frankly, Mina suspects there weren’t even any Korean women in Salem at that time, and the whole thing is a fairytale - but every Moon woman knows it. As was dictated by her lineage, Mina - who has forgone the space in her name to better fit in - was raised to be a fighter: enrolled in jiu-jitsu and krav maga classes the moment she could walk, combat was all she knew. And while she trained, her mother donned her costume and went out under cover of night to fight for the little people. Justice has always been central to the path of the Moon women: never fight without cause, never harm a downed opponent, never sit idly by while someone gets hurt.

Mina worshipped her mother; she was the strongest woman in the world, and when she turned eighteen and inherited the talisman of strength, she would do anything to emulate her. Her life has followed the same route of all the Moon women: train until you’re of age, inherit the talisman and the identity of Haetae, and then find somewhere to call home. Brattleboro in Vermont has lived under the protection of Haetae for decades; now, with Mina behind the mask, Haetae has moved to Newhaven. Mina has read many stories in the news of the conditions there, and her strong sense of justice told her that this was the place she must protect.

What she didn’t anticipate was how much she would struggle living alone. She thought she had been raised strong and independent, but actually she feels like a child, lost, without her mother. Throughout her younger years, Mina had spent most of her time with her mother. She’d gone to school to get a normal education too, of course, and made plenty of friends thanks to her upbeat nature, but her mother would always be her best friend. Even as a teenager she bypassed the rebellious ‘I hate my mom’ phase. The understanding that your mother wants you to do your best and be your best goes quite a long way in developing a good relationship. Any vulnerability she feels because of this, you would never suspect. Mina works hard to keep a positive attitude, as much for herself as anyone else, and though she allows herself to feel sad, what she won’t allow is for it to get to her down.

Now she works by day as a freelance personal trainer at Pur Gym, and her clients know her as optimistic, encouraging - and relentless. She likes to see everyone do their best, because she knows that hard as she may try, she alone cannot protect Newhaven. It’s important to her that she see people learn to defend themselves, to grow strong.

Of course, she is still young; still learning. This is Mina’s first year of living independently, and she misses her mother deeply. She still phones several times a week, and is pleased to hear that her mother is enjoying retirement greatly - and in turn, her mother is pleased to hear that Mina is working hard. She still struggles with her moral compass, often unable to fully incapacitate villains or criminals. She wants desperately to do the right thing, and in the right way, but she is still only human and if she allows herself to hesitate and look in the eyes of her opponent, she will often falter. More than one criminal has gotten away from her because of this, and forgiving herself for those times is a long journey.

{{ VIGILANTE INFORMATION }}

VIGILANTE NAME: Haetae.

PRONOUNS: She/her.

APPEARANCE: The Haetae is a Korean mythological creature symbolising protection. The costume, which is passed down through the generations with modifications and upgrades made as new materials become available, works to mirror this. It is a full-body leotard made of grey-blue kevlar woven in a linked pattern that resembles the scales of the Haetae, worn with black steel toe-capped boots for their sturdiness. The mask used to have a horn, but as time went on it became apparent that not only was this cumbersome, it looked rather foolish. Now, the Haetae wears a mask that covers the eyes and meets in a short peak at the top center, giving the appearance almost of a tiara - it is only a subtle nod to the appearance of the creature. The mask is in a deep bronze colour, matching the sigil of the Haetae that is worn on the chest of the costume..

SIGIL: The sigil is a simplified haetae, and looks very much like a lion with fangs bared, and a pattern of swirls about the edges.

COLOUR SCHEME: Deep Blue ( 012345 ) Bronze ( 875E2A ) Slate Gray ( 2F4F4F )

FIGHTING STYLE: Close quarters combat. Having been trained in hand-to-hand combat from a young age, Haetae isn’t afraid to dive right in to the action. With her superhuman strength, her talent lies in ending fights quickly and cleanly. She will never aim for a fatality, instead incapacitating her opponents so that they can be given over to police custody, where they will be dealt with properly. Haetae is always careful not to overstep her boundaries, feeling that while it is her place to protect those who cannot protect themselves, she will never be judge, jury, or executioner - she sees her job as putting villains in the hands of the law.

CLASS TYPE: Offensive

MORAL ALIGNMENT:  Lawful good.

POWER: Haetae’s power comes from the silver token that is worn on a thin chain around her neck - it sits beneath her costume so that it is never visible. Once the token is removed, she will only have the strength of any other human - but with the token around her neck, she possesses a superhuman strength. It isn’t limitless, but it is very potent; in her experience, Haetae can lift trucks, knock down walls, and bend metal as easily as if it were butter. She is always mindful of this power, as it could easily kill a human: something she has vowed she will never do.

{{ EXTRAS }}

HEADCANONS:

Mina doesn’t have many hobbies outside of work and training, but she loves to cook. She learned this from her mother, because they burned so many calories in their training that big, nutrient-rich meals were vital. It’s one of the few things outside of martial arts that Mina gets truly excited to discuss, and she’s always keen to invite people around for dinner. She particularly enjoys cooking with Korean flavours as that’s what she was raised with, but always enjoys experimenting.

Although Mina loves her lifestyle and the feeling that she’s improving the world, she sometimes feels that she missed out on certain things, like education. She completed high school to a satisfactory level, but didn’t have the time to commit to a 4.0 GPA due to her rigorous training schedule. Though it’s likely she’ll never attend college, she does want to learn. She doesn’t have a specific focus, but she’s usually found with earbuds in, listening to educational podcasts about any topic from the rise and fall of Roman civilisation to string theory. She doesn’t always understand all of it, but she finds it more fun than just listening to music while she works out.

Mina has never had a serious relationship, and isn’t terribly interested in one, but she feels the pressure as she knows one day she will have to pass down the mantle of Haetae; preferably before she’s too old to offer proper training. Her mother had her when she was only twenty one, the age Mina is now. The identity of her father is a mystery, and she has the distinct impression that her mother just had a few one night stands until she fell pregnant, for the sake of having a baby. That’s not the life Mina wants. If she has a child, she wants it to be with someone special. The idea raises a lot of questions, though: should she tell them about her vigilante work? How would she have that conversation? What if they weren’t okay with her raising a child into a life of danger and violence? For now, Mina prefers to ignore the topic and staunchly refuses any offers to go to speed dating with her colleagues, and she certainly won’t join Tinder.

Being in the personal training industry, Mina feels it would be unfair and dishonest to wear her talisman during training. She’s very strong for her stature anyway, and doesn’t want the extra edge. However, she’s afraid to leave it in her house in case of a break in. If she lost it, she’d be losing a family legacy of allegedly centuries. Instead she carries it in an old Altoids mint box in a hidden pocket inside her coat, and when she goes to work she leaves this coat in a locker with three different padlocks on it. This has led to some laughter among her colleagues - the paranoia over her possessions, combined with her shady and secretive nighttime activities, have led them to joke that she’s a drug dealer. Mina laughs and encourages the joke, as she’d rather people think that, than have her secret identity discovered.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Desired Plots:

A workout buddy. Most of Mina’s life is devoted to fitness and exercise, and I’d love to explore a relationship based on sparring/jogging together/rowing, any sort of fitness. She’s great at motivating people and will bring delicious homemade snacks. So far she has very few friends, and this would be a great way for her to get involved with the more normal side of things in Newhaven.

Partnering Up. Haetae has always worked alone, and it never occurred to Mina to work with another hero; she never even went out with her mother, because only one person can hold the talisman. Throughout Haetae’s history she’s never had a partner - but then, she’s never been in a territory so saturated with heroes as Newhaven. Whether they team up mid-fight and find themselves working well together, or hear about one another by reputation and want to work with each other due to complementary skillsets, it’d be great to have Mina working with someone else.

Out of her comfort zone. Mina has a very set routine and lifestyle, and it could definitely do with a bit of shaking up. She could meet a bit of a party animal and get dragged into drinks and karaoke, or spotted at random and asked to help someone with their hobby; specifics obviously depend on the other character but I’d love to see her forced in to letting loose a little.

Vulnerability. Strength and independence are the backbone of Mina’s lifestyle, so let’s put her in a situation where she’s totally helpless. Maybe she’s caught without her talisman and bound before she can fight back, or someone spikes her drink leaving her confused and frightened, or she gets herself into a fight she simply can’t win!
