Arcane Prompt - Victor x Toph-like Fem!Reader

I'd kinda like to see Viktor with a Toph-like fem!reader. Not in attitude or power or anything (except for the hearing when someone's lying thing), but in that she's blind, but does not let that stop her from being the best at what she is.

Maybe she's a musician/musicologist? As in the science behind music & sound & how it interacts with the world around it. As well as the study of music's impact on cultures. How sound interacts with the brain. Things like that.

An "everything gives off vibrations" sort of thing. And maybe she has access to sound magic? But in the way that, instead of using it as a means to attack, she uses the vibrations to interact with the world around her. Also, a musical & mathematics genius.

A little bit of an August Rush-flavored Toph in that the whole world is full of music, you just have to be open to it.

I see her as being sassy, sarcastic, & very direct like Toph, seeing herself as no less than anyone else. Sure, she has moments of insecurity, but she's secure enough & genuinely likes herself enough that they don't last very long.

I see her as the sort who, much like Toph, doesn't tiptoe around being blind. It's just like, "I'm blind. Moving on." And she doesn't lament her disability because she genuinely doesn't see it as one. Because if she wasn't blind, she wouldn't be who she is now.

Sure, she'd like to understand what people get all jazzed about with "views" & "colors" & "aesthetics" & stuff, but ya know, whatever.

What she gets insecure about sometimes is whether or not she's pretty. Because she legit doesn't know.

She sort of acts as a 3rd to Viktor & Jayce's duo, but one that came later.

She's honestly not much for hardware, but her theories & ideas have helped them to advance HexTech a great deal.

For instance, one of their most used inventions was the Susurrecorder, which is a HexTech device that produces sounds at a frequency of 25 to 150 Hertz to mimic a cat's purr, which she discovered is a frequency which aids in bone repair & healing. This, when put together with the Hex Crystal powering it, simulates low-level, gentle sound-based healing magic that gives listeners low-level health regen & boosted immune systems.

It was a success & is now used in Piltovan hospitals to aid in recovery.

She also discovered Alpha Waves, Beta Waves, & Delta Paterns. Alpha Waves peak around 10Hz. Good healthy alpha production promotes mental resourcefulness, aids in the ability to mentally coordinate. Beta Waves are the fastest frequency of brainwaves (13-40 Hz). They are responsible for focus, concentration & analytical thinking. Binaural beats in the Delta Pattern operate at a frequency of 0.5–4 Hz with links to a dreamless sleep. Meanwhile, 432 Hz frequency is ideal for use as a sleep aid as it is known for its relaxing, calming effects.

Later models of the Susurrecorder are built with a knob allowing users to switch between the Healing Frequency, a mix of Alpha & Beta Waves called Brain Beats, & a mix of Delta Patterns & the 432 Hz frequency called Sleep Tunes.

An even later model built specifically for hospital patients has the Healing Frequency with a switch to turn on Sleep Tunes so that both can be on at once to both aid in sleep while still allowing for increased healing.

It was very successful!

She later helped the HexBros to create antigravity tech by discovering what in our universe is called Einstein's E=mc², then using it to change soundwaves into a negative energy current then conducting that energy into a ball which began to float. Basically, the idea of acoustic levitation.

This allowed the boys to create a simple device that would allow ships to fly through the air with much fewer resources.

What she considers to be her magnum opis was something called the HexTech Violin. It's basically an electric violin made of HexTech. Depending on how she plays it & what frequency she plays it at, a variety of different things can happen.

There's the healing, brain beats, sleep tunes, & acoustic levitation frequencies from above, as well as hydromanipulation at 23-25 Hz, acoustic phytomanipulation, & hydrophonic remediation at 423 Hz. Acoustic Phytomanipulation being based on how music seems to help plants grow. And Hydrophonic Remediation being the use of sound to purify water, which she would've been researching for a long time to help Victor with making Zaun a better place.

sometimes I think about the role of musicians in the age of space exploration and expansion. musicians who travel to perform on starbases, or in far-reaching colonies. who trade in culture the way that traveling musicians once would, or traveling and taking up temporary residency for a time before moving on.

but what about poets in this far-flung future?

Lavellans and their music...headcanon time!

a) My Lavellans are split into three branches - Marcher, Nevarran, and Fereldan. They’re all vaguely pseudo-Slavic as far as real-world inspiration goes. I could try to describe how they sound, but I’m no musicologist and I don’t really have the lingo anyway, so I’ll just post a bunch of links. :-)

b) Most of my elven OCs are Marchers (or - in Das’s case - were adopted by them).

Obviously, they’d be singing in their own dialect of Lavellan creole, not in any Eastern or Central European language.:-]

Anyway. Marchers tend to sound something like this:  https://youtu.be/Pytu3F5T-bY https://youtu.be/lODHbXHMtuI https://youtu.be/n6sYGTpaacA https://youtu.be/3X6eR6F-720 They don’t use a whole lot of instruments, if any at all. It’s mostly just voices, clapping, stomping, and slapping or hitting (or kicking) any available surface. They do have drums, though. Sometimes they accompany their music on a fiddle or a flute. But it’s not really their thing. Both singing and dancing tend to be shared experiences. During festivals and celebrations, everyone takes part, regardless of their skill. Best singers always take lead, of course - but nobody is expected to shut up and listen just because their singing sucks. It’s more about singing together than it’s ever been about listening. And at any time of day, if someone somewhere in the camp starts singing, there’s a good chance at least one or two other voices will join them.

The Nevarran ones: https://youtu.be/C3xJpMy4LQY https://youtu.be/EcqXFr0dcpg https://youtu.be/LoEZrdV8n7A https://youtu.be/SnhnqVNuWA8 Music as a performance to be appreciated by an audience is more of a thing with the Nevarrans - it’s often used to accompany or tell stories, among other things. But they enjoy singing their hearts out (and slapping their thighs and stomping their feet) as much as any other Lavellan.  BTW, they not only use musical instruments - they also make them. The Fereldan bunch: https://youtu.be/o7I41YWDoKs https://youtu.be/znFIcocvR_k?t=11 https://youtu.be/Svh2gr2VJbA https://youtu.be/4lNbBfnHr6E Their music tends to be more instrumental than either that of the Marcher or the Nevarran clan. And, in a way, they also make it more of an individual pursuit. Sure they often gather and drink and sing and dance together, but they're more into this performing thing. It’s a lot more common for them to sit around the fire and take turns singing and/or playing (sometimes individually, sometimes in pairs or small groups) while the others listen.

Oc Tag : Edwood

Hey, I’ve been tagged again for the OC Tag Thing! Thanks @autodiscothings! Tonight the D20 designed Edwood Scott as the next one under the spotlight.

He’s an Halfway Home character that get a growing importance at each new edit. He’s a laid-back human musicologist, dates Nagatha T’selvi (Shlee’s aunt and trader), and is generally a guy you could consider c o o l.

Not tagging anyone because I still have two more rounds to go and I don’t want to annoy anyone by overtagging them!
