I was looking at the map of the Sea from TWT when I realized that this thing is Audrian's Tarmacedon.

I keep having dreams about finding toys and the like that I really want these last couple nights... It makes me want to set up a visual library of a wishlist once I have regular internet again. I'm sure it's a waste of time and also computer space, but then that way when I want to look at my wishlist, look up a toy name bc I forgot etc without being directly tempted to spend money, I can just Do So (as opposed to shopping site wishlists).

Plus if I'm honest... I'm kind of a jpeg collector type of guy, so it just makes sense to do. < grew up on collecting pokemon cards

this is a general curiosity thing, because of a slight pattern ive noticed (of course i could also be making something out of nothing who knows)

im curious if there’s any other transmascs named icarus. cause i’m transmasc and i go by both connor and icarus, and other than myself i’ve also seen three other transmasc icarus’s, which, you know, isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened THREE OTHER TIMES (so technically four in total if you count me).

is this just a random coincidence? do other transmascs have an inexplicable connection to the name icarus???

I know I've joked about how the world could always use more Snatcher, but I never stopped to consider the issue of names until now. Whoops? I guess this system just got a little more ghoulishly handsome, if nothing else. - 🖋️

Profile

Name: Aphina

Gender: F (cis, she/her)

Class: Assassin -> Unique Class

A pleasant individual to be around, save the occasional dark gleam in her eye. Whenever it's pointed out, however, she tends to brush it off. A girl with short hair in a family of long-haired men.

Appearance and Personality

Middling in height with naturally long hair, she cuts those locks to mid-length as a way of distinguishing herself from her family. Definitely has some of the curliest hair of her folks though, and Kano had to fight her hair color to keep it from making her look like a morph with those golden eyes.

Her brand, like her older brother's is located on her neck, but it's actually high enough that her collar doesn't hide it. She doesn't really care though since it's on the back specifically—if someone catches a glimpse of it, what are they going to do about it? This is precisely what's she been trained for; Aphina isn't afraid of anyone.

Generally tries to appear unassuming at first glance, but she's inherited the act of keeping a bit of distance from her peers. Doesn't share Valter's aversion to vulnerability at least. Far from an open book (especially when it comes to the topic of her past), but she has faith in other people. (What a dangerous thing to have.)

But next: she's a charming gal! Warm smiles and always seems to say the right things, easily getting what she wants from other people. Aphina learned the art of manipulation when she was rather young, though it never quite worked on her fathers. (Sephiran would play along, at least; Valter was not so kind in that regard.) Quickly became dangerously good though—in less questionable circumstances, perhaps this would've been hindered rather than fostered.

Despite her friendly disposition, she spends a lot of her time in solitude, citing that it helps her focus when she trains. In actuality, she's just a massive introvert, but such an admission feels to her like it would break her well-crafted facade.

History

Much like her older brother, she learned to be wary and cautious of others. Unlike him, however, she never quite internalized them; Aphina was always a fairly observant child, and she sought to question them and their validity before thinking to take them to heart. Fatally, a stranger once showed her an act of kindness while she was young, and while she does not remember exactly what it was, she does remember the feeling—and with that recollection, she resolved that her parents were wrong.

Kept that thought much to herself though, of course, instead fighting those ideas quietly. This is what led to her routinely cutting her hair, and though she still spent much time with her family, she also spent a great deal of time alone.

Combat

In her silent rebellion, she refused to take up her fathers' weapons, instead taking up daggers and anima magic. Though she'll primarily use blades in combat, she won't squander a victory simply to preserve the wild card that is her magical abilities.

Adding on: those who recall her cheerful and positive demeanor would notice an immediate shift once combat begins: this is because she realized once when she was younger that she liked to hurt others, and to avoid the consequences of such an indulgence, Aphina instead chooses to shut off her emotions when fighting. Though it mostly works, some can note an odd gleam in her eye as she fights, as though dealing with an ancient curse.

Aside from fighting on the front lines, she also functions as a bit of a tactician. By getting to know her allies so intimately, she can better judge their aptitudes and relations to others, and thus use that to secure a victory.

Summary

Though she recognizes that there are people with bad intentions, she also wants to believe that there are some who can be good as well. As such, she begins encounters with strangers by determining as quickly as she can what their values are—what it is they believe and how far they will take those ideas.

Following that train of thought: the map where Aphina is recruited would have her posing as a helpless civilian in the midst of a battle between the lord's army and an enemy force (could be people, could be monsters). While she would be completely willing to take injuries herself, if any harm befalls any of the actual villagers, she'll reveal her capabilities and take care of it herself, locking off the ability to recruit her.

Following a successful recruitment: she feels no remorse about having to fight her fathers. While Aphina isn't confident that she could beat both of them (or even just one) alone, if she had to face them in combat, she would still give it her absolute all. Unique quotes against both, but no consequences for her dealing the final blow save for some unique death dialogue. Only has platonic paired endings. Completely content to go it alone.

the reason it takes me so long to make the aa text post posts is because i just don’t look at text posts that often and some of the magic is lost when i go out specifically searching for character-coded posts. that said i NEED to find the “you should be able to disappear for a few months without anyone freaking out” post because i think i lost it and it’s SO edgeworth. but i don’t look at every text post and go how can i make this characters….. i have to find it naturally and go “omg they would totally say this” and even then half of them don’t make it in just due to either self doubt or i can’t fit the sprite onto the post screenshot. like there’s this post about someone pranking their dad by leaving open windex or something next to a cup of orange juice and then acting evasive about it then going april fools as soon as he took the teeniest tiniest sip and then when he’s about to tell her how dangerous that is just drinking the whole glass to reveal it’s just regular orange juice. and to me and i can’t explain it. trucy would do that. but that one will never happen because i can’t fit her sprite onto the screenshot. so anyways yeah it takes months because i don’t see text posts that often

ok very random question but, where did you get your name from? i dont think ive ever heard it before. personally i chose the name raymond after rayman, since thats what i thought his name was as a kid lol

🐌.

ohh? which one?

aphelion, the pen name i use, comes from the astonomical word aphelion, meaning "the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is furthest from the sun." i thought it sounded cool AKFKHSKSGJV <3

addiel, the name i go by, is a masc (?) name that means something along the lines of like... a righteous man or something like that. i've been using this name for a while but it doesn't resonate as deeply with me as it once did, so i may change it again. but the reason i picked it in the first place was because addiel has that very angelic feel to it. i am in love with 'iel' names. also, it shares the same first letter with my deadname, and i have no negative feelings towards my deadname. i like it, actually, but it's too inherently feminine for me.

so yeah! i kind of want something more ethereal now. still want a name beginning with 'a' though.
