'by request' muses + how badly they break canon

MUSE: kokoro kyriakou FANDOM: a realm full of cardiovascular imagery RELATIVE: er*qus (uncle) DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: not at conception when the relative had 0 backstory lore, but then the mobile game dropped, and now she is the merriest of mary sues -- and not just because she's related to a canon, either. lore has it only two apprentices survived an attack on their generation of wielders, so kokoro's dad can't even exist post-dr. multi-generational drift against canon events.

MUSE: astraea l*cis cael*m FANDOM: last legend the fifteenth time RELATIVE: n*ct (brother), r*g*s (father), and *rd*n (ancestor) DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: over her knee like a single dry twig. the whole narrative kind of depends on the end of a dynasty, and here i go introducing a member that is actively defying the gods and circumstances that make victims of her male relatives. she's mostly here to explore aspects of canon that were left to atrophy tbh.

MUSE: zorya constantine FANDOM: graphics about sleuths RELATIVE: miss fishnets herself and some cunt from beatlesville DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: surprisingly, no. there have been universes in the past that show her parents having reproduced, and in fact a complementary muse i play is her brother from one such universe. i tend to default to her being a visitor from another universe rather than any particular interpretation's child.

MUSE: 'valas' d*vir FANDOM: the gate of a norse god RELATIVE: 1-2's pc (father), v*conia d*vir (mother) DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: prior to 3? no. v*conia's romanced ending -- the one i pursued as a baby kadi -- has her bearing the pc's child. after the character assassination of her in 3? yep. wretcheds of the c*ast completely scrapped her canon characterization to make a one dimensional zealot of her, so everything came crashing down for valas' lore. my city now, though.

MUSE: kayden c*nnors FANDOM: marvelous graphics RELATIVE: the l*zard / dr. c*rt c*nnors (father) DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: yeah. she doesn't even get a zorya pass of other lore existing that at best doesn't rule her out -- the c*nnors only ever have a single son in the whole of comics history. writing kayden in as an older daughter in the family dynamic upends decades of comics lore, and i revel in getting meta w it.

MUSE: mira snow FANDOM: a ditty of icyhot RELATIVE: br*ndon st*rk (father), ash*ra d*yne (mother), assorted canon relatives DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: ssssort of? it's implied her mother had a daughter prior to her death, and that it was a st*rk brother that was responsible. mira is me pursuing that plot thread and chasing 'what ifs' about her role in the already unconventional dynamics of w*nterfell. the big divergence is the kid is allegedly dead.

MUSE: ly*nna b*lton FANDOM: a ditty of icyhot RELATIVE: r**se b*lton (father), b*th*ny rysw*ll (mother), brothers out the wazoo DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: undoubtedly. while the lord of l33ches has many stillborn or cradle-withering sons to his name, no daughters are ever mentioned. it's pretty clear if she had survived where her brothers had not, it wouldn't be for long given her half-brother's proclivities. i am simply pursuing female horror narratives.

MUSE: laerion v*laryon FANDOM: a ditty of icyhot: revenge of the son-cousin of the prequel RELATIVE: c*rlys and rh*en*s (parents), l*ena and l*en*r (siblings) DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: yep. family's fucked and then i throw another not into the fire, out into the roaring waves of their dominion. the heir who would give anything to be in his brother's shadow again. he's gonna be okay, though, bc my city now. i'm ridiculously fond of him and i can't be convinced to part with him.

MUSE: odessa h*rkonnen FANDOM: dewn RELATIVE: the h*rkonnens (extended relatives) DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: not as badly as you would expect. we never get a full scope of the size of this noble house as opposed to the sparseness of their enemy's family line. an offshoot of the main line is not unthinkable, as we have no idea who in the family holds the ancestral planet together while the baron is absent.

MUSE: danae sp*ncer FANDOM: the malicious dwellers of the zombie apocalypse RELATIVE: the properly dishonorable earl sp*ncer (father) DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: yes, canon makes it clear the earl is the last of his family -- but. i can argue the phrasing 'end of his illustrious line' could mean the family name dies with him, as danae would be anticipated to take her husband's name, or as i write it, that danae was disowned, disinherited, and no more a true sp*ncer.

MUSE: julia mayfair FANDOM: cawabooty RELATIVE: v*kt*r r*zn*v (great-grandfather) DOES THIS MUSE BREAK CANON: in all honesty? no. we know nothing of the man's backstory or connections prior to the war, save that he had a father who was killed by germans. this is a case where you can say anything about her great-grandfather and there's nothing contradicting or supporting you. there's no canon to break.

how attractive are the six one six muses, and why?

raisa: yes. god, yes. good face, fine features, amazing jawline and cheekbones that are the ruin of lesser men with weak concepts of femininity, the fact she styles herself with a bit of androgyny only serves to highlight her good bone structure. rich dark hair and brilliant blue eyes. add in that she's a woman in a position of power and there's a definite additional layer to what makes her so hot. kiss her about it. i also write her as having a smoking hot hourglass build and legs for days so. yeah. hottie.

vera: adorable. thick black hair and piercing blue eyes help to draw a fine point on those soft girlish features, a lil doll of a lady. throw in her down to earth nature and ability to be everybody's best friend, and she appears to be the total package. look under the careful layering, however, and discover the wonder of a career vigilante and the physique therein. let her do the bicep curl around your jaw. it's ok.

kayden: cute. little too young to be fully defined, but she at least has a pretty good roadmap off her milf of a mom, and definitely has some kind of owo disney princess appeal. some people say it is ruined by her gothic/unkempt styling, to which she says this isn't for you, she's not here to perform beauty standards, and she feels great personally. big soulful dark eyes with a head of thick black hair really helps to tie the look together.

sebastienne: she's alright. in theory she's a pretty at best woman worn down by life and circumstances. has the kind of appearance that doesn't threaten other women, for what it's worth, and tends to be slotted as 'one of the guys' or 'ms. waite' by men as another measure. could probably clean up nice but is never going to be a stunner or a standout. flat black hair, a lean sort of look, i toy with at least giving her pretty eyes to be a single thing in her favor. what does work in her favor as a thief, however, is being just another face in a crowd.

logan: no bestie <3 short squat and frankly smelly little weirdo that crawls out of his lean to when the seasons change. the movies are lying to you. he's broad, has more usable strength than abs. he's a 5'3" bear with a bit of a belly at best. his hair is out of control. you can argue those baby blues are a plus and i won't argue, but that's all you're getting out of me. his physicality is fine if off the beaten path. his personality just wrecks it. if you guys want to date a vintage shag carpet that's on you.

michael: he has a nice personality. he has a nice personality as a human as much as in vampirism. and that's really all there is to say. genuinely he can be a wonderful man and apparently has some rizz that he had a smoking hot high society woman who adored him, but this man got nowhere on his looks. ever. in his life.

6. what does their bedding look like? (to extend: do they make their bed every day? how often do they change it?) extra points for images. 7. what does your muse smell like? (to extend: does it vary throughout the seasons? do they use signature perfumes or scents? does their diet impact this?) - bruce, mina, kayden // @seekesotsibteadmist

So I misread 6 as 'bedroom' rather than 'bedding' and only caught it now, after having typed up both Bruce and Mina's answers, so we're just gonna get a big overview.

6. what does their bedding look like? (to extend: do they make their bed every day? how often do they change it?) extra points for images.

Bruce's bedroom is quite modern and minimalist. A dark and neutral palette is offset by a lot of glass fixtures, such as the closet, lights, and framed art. What little decor is available is centered around his bed, which is low-set and surprisingly sizable. The shelving is arranged with modern trends in mind, all aesthetically pleasing in how he presents his books and any brickabrack he possesses. The overall effect is that this is a wealthy man who doesn't want a lot of fuss in his personal space, while still allowing him a measure of comfort he might not find elsewhere.

Mina's bedroom is all about comfort. Rich blue walls, more pillows than are strictly necessary, and only the comfiest of sheets and quilt/duvet combos on a thrifted iron bedframe really set the tone more than words can. A lot of the room is just as it was when she bought it, save for the color scheme, which gives the master suite of the old townhouse a sort of quaint, timeless quality that Mina adores. Other decor includes light wood tables and chairs, and various blue glass fixtures. One will also find books scattered around, and an inherited vanity in a place of honor near the window. Somewhere, there's a record player and a bunch of vintage records that are unable to collect dust due to the doctor's evenings in.

Kayden is just a little goth baby. Living out of her parents Manhattan property while in college, while her mom and little brother live elsewhere in the state for Martha's work, she's done a few makeovers as her budget allows. To wit, her neutral childhood bedroom is well on its way to becoming the evil lair of her dreams. Wall decor abounds, usually of vintage horror icons and typically designed by fellow art students or bought at conventions and lovingly framed. Ivy climbs down from every shelf or windowsill for that regal touch. Her bed has been upgraded from a twin to a full, then bedecked in black sheets. The pillows are gifts from like-minded friends for her 'housewarming.' Paint prices being what they are, the walls have remained a prosaic grey-blue from before she took up residence alone. The girl is doing her best and largely succeeding. Just wait til she gets disposable income again.

7. what does your muse smell like? (to extend: does it vary throughout the seasons? do they use signature perfumes or scents? does their diet impact this?)

As Bruce Wayne, he typically smells of white musk and cedar wood, likely an ostentatious brand that is bought as much on the quality of ingredients as the prestige of the name or price tag. It gives him a more flowery than earthy scent without being purely floral in the vein of a perfume. It's definitely a scent you don't come across often, thus leaving its mark as certifiably Bruce Wayne. He dabs a little on after his morning showers and he's good to go. As Batman, he's all sweat, blood, the smog and muck of his surroundings. Sometimes, it's as if Gotham itself came alive and formed him, the way he blends in with it. Most of this can be attributed to his use of scentless/scent-masking soaps before his nightly outings, trying to mask both his natural scent and anything that would give him away as Bruce Wayne.

Mina is not as likely to wear perfumes or scented oils in her daily life. Given her work demands fastidious cleanliness, she's more likely to smell of disinfectant and whatever soap Gotham Memorial has in stock. This is a conscious decision on her part -- The surgeon has the filthiest hands, after all, and she tries to keep the scent of her career in the operating theater alone. At home, she prefers a soothing bodywash to start or end her day, likely lavender or eucalyptus. On nights out, her preferred perfume has notes of lotus blossom, dewy petals, and vanilla -- feminine but subtle. If you're lucky enough hat the good doctor lets her hair down or you can get close enough to smell it, her hair smells of cherry almond when it moves.

Kayden uses a rose bodywash and lotion that stops just short of being a cloying old woman scent. It's just something cheap she can grab at pretty much any beauty or big box store in the city. Not only is it cheap, but it's kind of aesthetic. Those with particularly strong senses might realize that our dear goth is using a children's pink sugar shampoo because it cuts down on the cost of buying adult products.

muses that have canonically written fanfic:

Aria Mahariel (Andraste/Shartan. Also known to read bad smut novels about herself, which probably qualifies for being a consumer of fic as well.)

Zorya Constantine (K*ngdom H*arts, F*n*l F*nt*sy XV, The M*gn*s Arch*ves. Not the best writer, but a prolific one that focuses on queer or polyamorous arrangements between canons and one oc/canon fic that is clearly a self-insert Zorya with serial numbers filed off.)

Z*tara Constantine (The M*gn*s Arch*ves. If you mention something called ‘Come On and Rescue Me’ or an AO3 handle known as ‘LaughingMagi’ you will be hexed into next week. His sister discovers this on an annual basis whenever he needs humbling.)

Astraea Lucis Caelum (Anonymously involved in the fandom of a The V*mpire Chr*nicles pastiche for the setting, largely focused on Leonie de Lestallum/Lucienne de Lac, Leonie/King Akarin or Amanda di Tenebrae/Diana Montalbano.)

Kayden Connors (D*red*vil/Sp*derm*n ; Nearly had a stroke realizing that she’s been writing about a family friend and swore off the hobby ever since.)

Claude di Montoya (In their Vampire verse, they got away with writing operas/plays off of Armand’s recollections. What else do you call writing a chamber opera about a sexy gay love triangle between very thinly veiled expies of Nicki, L*stat, and Armand replete with Seraph symbolism for a motif?)

Kokoro Kyriakou (As a teen, she wrote extensively on the Foretellers. It’s as cringe as it sounds.)

Orpheus (I’m right. His cult has several AU ideas about established lore.)

Kris Lindholm (Writes extensive The V*mpire Chr*nicles fic as it exists within the universe. Mainly writes slice of life or adventure stories involving the Brat as her favorite character, while acknowledging this is a highly fictionalized version of what is, in-universe, a real person.)

OC INFO PACKET ; KAYDEN CONNORS (616 OC)

NAME: Kayden M. Connors AGE: 20 in mainverse HAIR: Black EYES: Brown HEIGHT: 5′2″ OCCUPATION: College student ; Artist ; Works numerous odd jobs to get by FAMILY: C*rtis Connors / L*zard (Father, incarcerated) ; M*rtha Connors (Mother) ; Billy Connors (younger brother)

OVERVIEW:

The eldest child of the Connors family, Kayden was something of a graduation present to her biochemist father. She spent her earliest years in Florida, before her parents both took job offers in New York. So Kayden and her baby brother were loaded up and moved up North. There, the Connors kids had fantastic childhoods, with two brilliant parents that included an understanding and supportive mother and a doting and endlessly proud father.

Kayden was not about to follow in her parents footsteps, however. Her calling was art, from a precocious age, and it is a talent she has honed over the years. her end goal has always been to become a celebrated artist, a talk of the town, to make art that makes people feel something. It’s a pursuit that the doctors always encouraged in their eldest,  and it was at some point Kayden’s dream to attend one of the better art schools in the state.

Her dreams changed the same night her father tried to take over the city. After his attempt to destroy Manhattan, the Connors found themselves with few friends left, if they ever had any to begin with. Kayden, especially, was left believing she never did. The last two years of high school were spent alone and friendless, and even a good GPA and portfolio did nothing to endear her to the various colleges she presented herself before She was a risk, they said, as if her kind and gentle father could ever truly be a monster. In time, she eventually got into a low-ranking college, having to work for her tuition.

Lives on her own in what had been the family home, now emptied in the wake of what C*rt did. His mistake cost her, her mother, and her brother everything. But make no mistake: Kayden still loves and remains loyal to her father. She still campaigns for a deeper investigation into her father’s actions those years ago, and visits him weekly with the rest of her family. It is her deepest wish to see C*rt freed and returned to all of them, no matter what he’s cost them.

Has some goth girl swagger, though much more urban than classic. Hobbies include art, watching anime, and generally being a huge nerd. She’s generally considered ‘a little weird, but nice,’ by those who know her in recent years.

Somehow keeps getting sucked into the drama of people wanting either her father’s research or to manipulate him. She’s especially pissed at a certain Osborne for repeatedly trying to get her to play damsel in distress. However, this constant need for vigilance regarding her father’s office did re-introduce her to my M*rbius muse, who was honestly such a wet pathetic meow meow rifling through the old man’s notes that he’s now living out of what had been Kayden’s bedroom in aforementioned family home. He pays rent by being a sort of guard dog, tutor, and secondary father figure to the youth.

Her three jobs do not wholly cover the bills. Her real money maker is in commission work online. She will do whatever digital art piece you need. This has led to a long series of Kayden drawing in-universe RPF of various superheroes. It’s always porn. Soft or hardcore, it doesn’t matter. People wanna see DD rawdogging SM, or that one Canadian mutant doing unspeakable things to the blue fuzzy twink, or Captain on Captain acts of lewd and lascivious behavior. It’s a filthy job, but it keeps the lights on. No she doesn’t want to talk about it.

Is indisputably a civilian. Never becomes a hero of any sort, never becomes daddy’s little villain. She’s just one baseline force of attempted good in a pretty messed up world. Still, she’s on record as having tried to beat a Doombot into submission with just a baseball bat once, so you could say she’s pretty cool.

Kayden is absolutely the name she chose for herself once she found her Enby identity, and her parents + little brother were so proud and supportive of the change.

Is prepared to be the normie morality pet to whoever might require her expertise.
