TWISTED WONDERLAND BOOK 7 CHAPTER 2 SPOILERS. (summary, kinda. dont trust me a lot on literal translations its more of a general summary and i could be wrong with some things. also its kind of live reaction so. yeah. this shit is long btw. too much lore.)

no spoilers in tags, but beware that i will be spoiling the whole chapter for people who cant wait for the full translation/people who cant read it

>lilias family members are supposed to reach 1000 years old but apparently lilia was to eager? well not that, like he fucked up by playing too many games and that somehow made him old very fast? what (i think this might be a misstranslation help because it doesnt make a lot of sense. but something along the lines of lilia being 700 or so and his family being much older usually but him not reaching that age)

>everyone is scared shitless HUH

>lilia is now insulting malleus calling him a dumbass or smth and saying that he doesnt know what hes doing and malleus screams that hes doing this to not lose him HELP

>sebek and silver are trying to calm things down, it obviously doesnt work

>malleus says something about grabbing his hand??? scary

>he gave his blessing! its a long ass spell btw. i think his “blessing” is his unique magic

>DAMN THAT LILIA SCREAM

[trailblazer-march-7th]

Rules

general:

FIRSTLY: Please do make sure you've also read this rules page on my hub page. There are some rules that count for all my roleplay blogs.

This blog is selective. I don’t always reply to a non mutual and I won’t always follow someone back, but I will still be more then happy to do an roleplay with you.

This blog is OC, Crossover and Au friendly.

Anon hate and such will not be tolerated, obviously.

If you are a purely SFW blog following this blog, expecting the purest of the pure from this blog, then you’d be wrong. The environment may not be suited for the purest of souls and the muses in this blog do use profanity from time to time. Do keep in mind when following or wanting to roleplay with one of the muses on this blog, especially those who are known to use profanity from time to time. This doesn’t mean that it’s only nsfw. Actually, it’s mostly sfw at times.

I don’t tolerate guilt tripping, especially towards my mutuals, regardless of reason. We’re here to have fun, not to be treated like were a sus person.

I might be new to this part, but if there’s something that triggers you and you want it to be tagged, please tell me. And speaking of triggers. Gore will be tagged as T:gore or Trigger: gore

Selectivity:

Like I said, I am semi-selective. But I am still open to roleplay with non mutuals.

I might be new to this part, but if there’s something that triggers you and you want it to be tagged, please tell me. And speaking of triggers. Gore will be tagged as T:gore or Trigger: gore

Roleplaying:

You want to IM or ask me to plot? Sure! I’m more then happy to do that.

Godmodding is a no brainer: No, your not allowed to godmod without my permission.

Do you want to ship my muse with yours? Sure! Since this blog is multiship, go ahead! However, due to what their goal is, it’ll take quite a while for it to happen. Chemistry should be involved in this ship.

Duplicates of a muse is A-okey. Everyone roleplays their muse in a nice and unique way of course!

Although the mun is above 18 years, I won’t do smut. Gore is acceptable in a way.

If there’s a starter I’ve posted, like an open starter, please make a new post, tagging me and have a link to the original post of the starter. It’s something to make this blog a bit more clean.

I thought I have added it here before, but since I didn’t, let me make it crystal clear: THE THOUGHTS THAT MUSES HAVE DOES NOT EQUAL THE MUN’S THOUGHT.

It happened to me only one or two times, but to those who have beings who have created universes and what not (so in the level of the big G himself and or Azathoth for example (avatars of such entities included)), please keep in mind that the main verse has a being similar to that. While I understand roleplaying powerful muses that rule the universe is a fantasy some of us enjoy, I would like muses who created their own universes and such to treat Lawain’s universe (or whatever the main universe I’ll call it) to be like they’re visiting another being’s (of similar rank) universe. And in return, they shall do that back. If you wish that they took part of the main universe’s creation, I am open for discussion.

This blog has muses that could and will go in dark places. If you wish for it to not happen in those threads, you’re free to inform or ask me about it. Threads that go will go in those direction, depending on the situation, will be tagged appropriately.

 On the topic of muses, some guest muses may appear from time to time in case you are curious where other muses came from.

Feel free to ask for my Discord ID if we’re mutuals. It makes it easier for us to plot and I personally prefer Discord over Tumblr IM.

For anyone who retcons a lot or retcons when something goes wrong and wants me to retcon something, I don’t rarely retcon without being requested for it. I treat roleplaying like I do with life: going with the flow. If there’s a misunderstanding, please inform me. So please keep in mind of that. So if you want me to retcon or fix something, please ask me for that.

Personal/non RP-blogs: DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT REBLOG STUFF OFF THIS BLOG. It happened to me a few times and happened to a good amount of roleplayers a few times and we all dislike doing so. That includes asks too. If you really want to comment on it, just use the reply feature.

And last but not least, have fun! I made this blog to have fun with you all.

RP Memes:

You’re totally free to send me RP memes! Mutuals, non mutuals, anons are all fine by me!

To look for some RP memes,

feel free to use the tag: origin | rp meme source

to look through the memes. All RP memes are open to be sent and accepted!

Please do note that if there exist specify muse or specify muses in the tags that although it’s not needed, I highly suggest specifying a muse unless you wish for me to choose a random muse.

Do also note that this tag does not mean the memes can be reblogged from this blog. Always reblog it from it’s original source. If it’s needed, please ask me first before doing so.

Although not 100% required, for ease of replying older RP memes or RP memes with similar icons that I HIGHLY recommend that if you do send a RP meme that you refer to the RP meme source in question. There are times where I’m unable to reply to an RP meme directly and will probably hold off for a bit until I feel like I can. This rule is moreso for when rp memes have been sitting there for longer then weeks

If you have read the rules, send in the ask this: ‘Say Cheese!’, but you don’t have to send it. It’s just to make sure people read the rules.

[flowercoasts]

i’m so sad. like they could’ve been It. because day one they looked at each other and recognized something so uniquely other but familiar about each other it’s like they gravitated together. two lonely girls out in the world, broken in different ways, wearing armor and masks and loud personalities to cover their hurt; coming together. it’s like the universe pointed at both of them and went like “you two. you are the same. go be friends.” first friends. then best friends not long after. and then there comes the storybook aspect: you have one who’s obsessed with getting a fairytale ending, with having the perfect play by play of every book she’s ever read where the girl gets the guy and they live happily ever after. and then the other who gave up on that a long time ago, only looking for cheap, inconsequential flings and bruises that’ll stay, because the pain is something she’s used to, and she doesn’t know if her hands can be softer.

but then the fairy tale doesn’t happen. except it does, but it doesn’t. the guy isn’t ideal. he’s her friend. he has flaws. it takes ages for her to realize he’s a person, and not just a nameless figure to place in her book. and the other girl doesn’t get a fling. she gets a family. she gets a best friend. she gets “i love you” and connection and hands that don’t hurt but hold - she doesn’t have to be softer, not for them, but she learns anyways, because she was always soft, she just never showed it. so it’s not a fairy tale. people die, the romance doesn’t turn out the way it should, everyone grows up, there’s a war, there’s blood, there’s fear they fight in the name of justice, theres ghosts in their past, there’s the weight of nations on their backs. but there’s also each other.

it’s 80 episodes of love and support and constant communication, and they always were soft around each other - even from day one. of course, they have miscommunications. they argue. they don’t always understand. but they care about each other, down to their core, like it’s written in their blood to. and that care is dedication, it’s hugs and shared rooms. it’s just being there for each other, always. always. the fairy tale is just how pure and strong their love is for each other. regardless of anything. then, like the universe was making some kind of inside joke (you had to be there), one falls for the other. and it’s slow, like love always is - slow until you realize, and then it’s like it’s been there all along because it has. it’s always been love, just now it’s shaped into something different. not deeper or less than, but different in the way that’s dangerous and righteous all at once. it’s slow and soft and non-consuming. it’s always been love.

the fairy tale flips on its head. the girl who was supposed to find the perfect guy instead finds herself. the lone wolf of a girl who swore off deeper connections falls in love with her best friend. the two girls find a family and a home and heal and grow and learn and love. they have family. they have each other. always.

imagine like. 40 episodes of slow pining after realization; denial into anger into acceptance. the girl in love with her best friend hates that she’s in love until she realizes that there’s nothing she can do about it. because she can’t change the fact that the love always existed, can’t unlove someone after practically moving into each other’s hearts. and then the anger at herself turns into acceptance; looks like warm nights in the same bed where they curl into each other and she just accepts the fact she’s going to love this girl forever, always. and then the other girl who slowly, slowly realizes, that after all the growth she’s been through, maybe she still can have her own happy ending. maybe she can fall in love with her best friend. maybe it won’t be easy, because it’s not the easiest way, not what anyone planned - but it’s right. because they just fit, because whoever made the universe made them out of the same stuff and they will always care about each other. it’s not easy, not by a long shot. neither of them want to ruin what they have. and it’s hard to get over the fact that falling for your best friend is so out of the picture it’s in space, that nothing ever prepares you for it. but it’s there, staring them in the face. it takes them both so little to realize that they’ve loved each other for forever. and then they just exist. together. like they always have been, but more. maybe there is no fairy tale then, because none of the stories would ever look like this. but that’s okay, because they have each other. they can write whatever they want.

[mrpenguinpants]

Alright, I finally read Reincarnation no Kaben

AFTER MONTHS (it’s probably been a month? My mind doesn’t keep track of the days) I FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO RNK. Ty to Okita anon for the recommendation (*￣3￣)╭💕💕💕 I absolutely loved it. 

After this I’ll start on the other recommendation you gave me. I kept a bit of a log of my reading journey under the read more tag. 

Major spoilers for literally everything in RNK up to ch 53 “Withdrawal”. 

Oh, and I’ll finish answering all my leftover asks and I SHOULD have a fic done by tomorrow. I was so ready to write and then I got up. Now I’m back to bed. 

I’m just gonna write this as a log since I read super super slow and I’m only on ch 7 at the start of writing this but I’m really liking it already. Though to be fair. I love everything okita anon recommends haha. I remember you saying you were simping over Kouu and I haven’t gotten to the part where he appears but I wanted to quickly google what he looked like to prepare myself and I see this:

Well. That’s reassuring. 

I was actually kinda surprised by how many western figures were in the manga since I know there are only like 7? Around 7 western figures that pop up in any anime/manga but seeing people like Albert Fish was kinda surprising but I really liked it. Also, at the end of certain chapters they write little bio’s on them so you get to know more about them was such a nice touch.  I also love that the tradition of making males -> females still stays strong even outside the fate universe hehe.

---

Literally, the next chapter I see him. AHHHHHHHHH. Well maybe not him but his eyeballs. 

This guy lowkey reminds me of the MC’s brother but it’s 99% because he has the same long ponytail. I wouldn’t be surprised if the brother was apart of the the Greats. Honestly, Ein reminds me of those really hard headed girls that are actually really kind on the inside but aren’t good at expressing themselves (maybe because that’s pretty much her character). I also like that Ein doesn’t like males but she’s hiding behind this guy. At least, I’m..99% sure this is Ein. 

I FUCKING KNEW IT. AS SOON AS I SAW HE GOT A THEIF TALENT I COULD FEEL THE SOLO LEVELING VIBES IN ME. HE CAN STEAL TALENTS I FUCKING KNEW IT!!! I’m surprised that Neumann didn’t say anything and  Haito seems to be aware of it.  

Edit: Ah okay, I understand a bit now but it almost seems like Haito is the only one aware of Toya’s second talent.

Edit 2: Okay, as much as I love power hungry MC’s I’m really glad they didn’t make Toya into that. I am such a softie for sympathetic and kind MC’s like these even though it’s been done so many times. I’m really glad this didn’t feel like a rehash. I mean, some points some of the stuff Toya says it does but it’s fine, I don’t mind that. I actually gave a crap about him since I usually prefer the side characters (I UNDERSTAND ANON, I CARE ABOUT KOUU SO MUCH AHHHHH) but HAITO?? AHHHHH. 

---

I like that Izo always has the same hat in every adaptation he’s in lol. Istg, cats are always op. Schrodinger seems so strong and the parallel universes are my absolute shit. Sometimes I think, in one universe I did this and in this universe I’m not. Would I rather stay in this universe or be in the one where I am actually productive. Usually I pick the productive universe and actually work but sometimes I’m a bit of a slacker haha. I think this is my approach to a lot of things in life. But I digress, I don’t wanna get too deep into my life. 

I can sorta sympathize with the sinners. At least the ripper guy to say the least. I love love love unhinged characters that just want to basically destroy the world or at least have fun. But then you find out- wait they are actually sympathetic oh no. That’s how I felt about Djoser in “im the great priest imhotep” (please...i beg...someone read this...I’m so starved). 

As much as character development and rooting for the hero is cool and all, I just want to simp for the crazy “let’s burn the world to the ground” kinda character. I’m also so glad Toya doesn’t automatically become evil and try and steal everyone’s talents because he does seem like a good person and I really don’t see him suddenly switching fields so when he saved (I don’t remember names I’m sorry), the undead solider it was really nice. Proves that he still has his humanity and isn’t strictly relying on the branch of sin. 

It makes sense that he wants to steal talents since he never had one (and it was kinda out of left field when he killed Vlad and we just never addressed that ever again haha) but to see him actually consider his actions and if he actually want’s to steal his teammates talents feels right to me. Poor guy doesn’t seem to have a lot of friends so this is the first time he’s ever seemed to have companionship, aside from Haito, so I really hope he doesn’t attempt to steal their talents. I think I’m thinking of the slime? That time I got reincarnated as a slime manga/anime. Where he’s the pokemon catcher of skills. I thought that was where it was going. 

But I do kinda like how selfish Haito and Toya’s talent stealing relationship is (I mean, later it develops but my first draft of writing this I wasn’t there yet). I’m not sure if selfish or like self-gratitude/pride is the right word but it’s kind of a breath of fresh air. Rather than Haito trying to contain or “help” Toya’s inferiority she’s actually encouraging it and using her own talent for her own...acknowledgement? Er, yeah let’s go with that. 

---

This. This interaction. I love this. Like, genuinely love this. We need more of this. Two people from opposite sides finding some common ground and their fight to the death is less about morals or whose on whose side but for themselves. I love that. This is actually some wholesome stuff. 

Edit: AHHHHH CATCH MY UGLY CRYING IN THE BACK BECAUSE ALL THE “SINNERS” ARE ACTUALLY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. IM DEAD. YOU’VE KILLED ME. 

---

I KNEW IT! YOU CAN NEVER TRUST THESE KIND OF PEOPLE!! I’m going to slap the whiteboard on this but if I see any “goofy” character I’m immediately sus of them. 

As much as I hate that Hitler is getting drawn as a small child I really like this. I know the whole, oh I killed your friends but I’m letting you go because you express humanity but I’m gonna finish my death with a sympathetic line, can be annoying to people but idk I really liked this. 

Honestly this and the undead soldiers death hit me hard ngl. This manga might not have my favourite art style during some points compared to like main stream manga but it has some really beautiful scenes. 

BOOM CALLED IT, though it’s pretty obvious lol. 

THE PONY TAIL NEVER LIES AND HES DA VINCI IT MAKES SENSE NOW

He looks so cute lol. I like that Seiya has the talent of being talented in everything while Toya has the talent to steal other talents. Seiya can probably only cap his power by his own physical/mental abilities with Toya can pull a solo leveling and go further beyond. Thinking of it like jack of trades vs master of none type deals. Though, I might be thinking too hard on this. I like that this man is actually humble but I really wish there was a tiny bit more to him since we only get this one interaction/backstory but the manga isn’t completed yet. I really hope we get to know about Seiya more;; like how he became da vinci or etc. 

Everytime I see Neumann I look at that comic sans type and it kills me on the inside. But I love that her eyes are 01 just, mwah perfection. These little details that aren’t that big but it’s soooo nice. I also ahem, unhinged character heart be still. It’s really nice reading manga in bursts because you can see the art progression and damn does she look good. 

tiny fang appreciation post. 

ngl i’M HARD SIMPING FOR THIS MAN. It’s the pony tail, I have such a thing for guys with long hair (and this is why genshin broke me) but man the art really picked up here. 

I didn’t get into it but OKITA ANON I GET IT. KOUU??? AHHHH. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE??? As much as his whole “war” was a bit questionable in the beginning and tbh I still don’t really get it I like that he knows he’s not the same as the other Greats but still tries to help the other “sinners” in a way only he knows. That’s why Seiya was so important;; I get that he wanted them to have a fun death and to be understood but idk, the whole war idea and having them kill each other (especially the Hitler fights because I understand the others since they reached some kind of acknowledgement) but nonetheless, what a great guy.

Nightingale gives me mad masaki vibes from chainsawman. I hate them and I can’t wait for you to fail, but the inner part of my is cheering for you because unhinged characters are my shit. I feel really bad for Neumann, I had suspicions she wasn’t actually like that since it’s sooo out of left field but I’m really glad the manga seems to know what it’s doing. I really wish we got more Kouu interactions with everyone tho. 

NOW THIS. THIS IS SOME WHOLESOME STUFF. I WANT THIS. I REALLY WANT SPIN-OFF OF REALLY SAD ANIME/MANGA/STORIES WHERE ALL THE DEAD PEOPLE HANG OUT. That’s how I’m feeling about JJK and the scroll segments or BSD WAN that just came out. IT’S SO WHOLESOME TO SEE EVERYONE NOT TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER. 

UGLY SOBBING IN THE CLUBBB AND KOUU AND CHARLOTTE AHHHH. I hate how this is phrased but the respect I have for Hitler?? YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD THAT IS TO TYPE?? Kitazuka is cool tho, I really like him. Some god given talent. I’m hard simping over him but I really hope we get to know more about him later. 

Getting smug mona vibes, I love this. 

AHHH IVE NEVER FELT THIS UPSET OVER AN APPLEEEE. I’M ACTUALLY UPSET. IF HE DIES IM ACTUALLY GOING TO CRY MY HEART OUT. 

THE FAMOUS SLAP 

I’M SORRY WHA- SLENDERMAN?

Oh..wow. Okay, be still my heart. When I first saw her I thought she was really pretty but now I’m absolutely smitten. God damn, can I please have some more crumbs on these characters before they die;; 

AHHH SAME GIRL FUCKING SAME????? I adore these small panels and translator notes. It’s a real breather after the sad 3am hours talk these characters go through. 

Yagyuu. Jesus christ. WHY ARE ALL THE DEATH SCENES IN THIS MANGA ACTUALLY SO PRETTY AND STABS ME IN THE HEART??? that’s it. goodbye. im fucking out. im actually so upset rn. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME? 

---

In conclusion, and I should probably re-read what the characters say and not go off on memory because I’m about to get really deep. I really like how they phrased why they wanted to stop the branch of sin. That there are people just like Toya and Haito who, if they never found the branch of sin, could still probably lead respectable and okay lives. That there was a “them” in another universe that didn’t go down that road and that they want to be in the same universe as “them”. I know this sounds really confusing if you haven’t read the manga but going back to what I said about the parallel universe stuff. 

There was a universe where Toya and Haito didn’t rely on the branch of sin, that even without their talents from becoming a returner, they could still live a happy life given their own personalities and attitudes. It was kinda moving since in the beginning, Toya wanted a talent so badly and now that he has one. He’s realizing that wait, I don’t need a past life talent in order to live. Honestly, I hard relate to that because I totally agree with him. If you have a talent you can probably live a very happy and comfortable life that other factors wouldn’t matter if you just have that incredible talent. Thinking of it as a painter or artist, if you had actual god-given talent you wouldn’t need to worry about other factors since people would naturally seek that talent. So you end up comparing yourself to others and setting that limit on yourself. 

But that’s okay, it’s completely natural and I’m not saying it’s horrible if you do this. Fuck, I do this all the time. I’m not saying the manga is changing my life but it’s kind of refreshing that it get’s talked about since other adaptations of this just make the character super OP. I understand wanting to have that incredible talent, fuck who doesn’t? but you don’t need it in order to live earnestly in the bigger picture sense. Not everything you do has to be productive and honestly, learning to be okay with having fun is nice. Just being okay with who you are right now, even if it isn’t perfect in your eyes, you still have time to build upon yourself and your own talents but doing it for yourself. 

But I probably missed the point and I’m going way to deep haha. But I really enjoyed reading this and thank you once again to okita anon for the recommendation^^ I always love everything you send me and I’ll start reading the next one. If anyone else has any recommendations let me know!

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.

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!
