what does NTHBD stand for?

netherbound. it's an original fiction rp setting me and some friends have (i was actually a late addition, they came up with most of it years before i joined). the shortest summary i can give is that it's an underworld-type parallel universe where the living and the dead exist side-by-side, both humans and more esoteric and otherworldly entities.

I heard you wanted asks so can you maybe tell me a random Netherbound fact or two? Or maybe something about Isaac's house?

Isaac’s house has fruit trees growing in it. They just kind of... sprout out of the floor, and the trunks seem to be at least partially metal. There are pears, and cherries, and for some reason the trees always seem to be ready for harvest. The pits/seeds of fruit harvested from the Sanctuary taste slightly metallic.

🔥 : What’s a surefire way to make your OC get flustered?

"W-Why would someone even want to do that?" Jiroki scoffs, trying to play it off, but she might be sweating a little. "Com-pletely pointless to do so... People don't like making me flustered, no, not at all, don't listen if someone tells you otherwise!" It always depends on the person. If she can get flustered by someone, it's a hint that she has some sort of attraction towards them, whether just infatuation or the real deal. But complimenting her looks in a more sexual manner can get her flustered, especially since she's aware of how her scars can look to some people, since they're intended to be pretty nasty scars. Try calling out her mommy milkers and see if she gets flustered or punches, that's one way to see if she likes someone. Thanks @netherbounded!

😍 : What does your OC find irresistible in others?

Phe loves confidence and people that are adventurous, for something that’s not physically based at least. However, her real answer is kind of shallow. She loves an attractive body as well. Lust at first sight kind of irresistible.

Loving the shadows over snowchester au! I do want to know more about Jack though. Is he a demon or something else? Did he have these powers before he died or did they manifest after? Maybe he always had these powers and dying just... changed them a little. Went from being immune to and creating fire (not immune to lava or explosions, just fire) to creating and controlling both fire and soul fire. Like, dying gave him a connection to soul stuff? Soul speed even when he's not wearing boots with the enchantment, the little particles that come off it when he walks speaking to him, guiding or warning him. Him not being able to see Tommy when he's invisible, but being able to sense him. Idk, just some ideas :]

Thank you for the opportunity, I’ve actually been wanting to do a bit more with Shadow Over Snowchester!Jack, anon. 

Anyway, yeah, a demon or hell spirit was what I was going for, but that’s pretty vague, so if anyone has any better ideas for that, I’m open to them. I personally imagined that while he may have had some supernatural heritage that allowed him to become such, it never manifested until he was transformed after his death. 

As for powers, the soul stuff is super cool! Maybe part of his heritage was Netherbound, or something, so it influenced his abilities. He can’t outright create Soul fire, but he can turn regular fire into it. Maybe not having Soul Speed, but also not being affected by the soul sand-just being able to go unhindered on it, as if he was walking regularly. And I really like the thought of all the souls trapped within whispering to him. Some are helpful, for a price, some are malicious, some are afraid-it’s a pretty wide variety. 

Maybe to some extent he can not only sense when Tommy’s around, but also when other ghosts or undead spirits are too. Not to Purpled’s extent, but maybe like...hm. You know when you forget a word, and it’s on the tip of your tongue? Something like that-he knows something’s there, but he can’t for the life of him figure out what-you can imagine how irritating this. 

I also really like the idea of him having these powers before dying, and then changing when he crawled out from hell. Him being a supernatural creature and becoming something a bit other after his return. Not a deity, or an eldritch, but still something more than what he was. 

Kind of makes you wonder what it is about the Smp that would attract so many creatures, huh? An item, a person, an area? Could be anything.

🌿 What way does your OC show that they care without using words? What way do others show your OC that they’re cared about without using speech?

Like she had said last night, one of her things is she remembers everything. Like if you tell her something even months ago or even years, she'll remember it. She will often say when and where she had met ya, and so with that skill she will often go and remember things like that when she's out shopping and will pick something up or even just give people little gifts every so often.

eastern god warmup doodles

ven is a god of nature and creation

khon is a god of chaos and wishes

cten is a god of art and war

[whatthehaxx]

Summary of Netherbound eastern god lore (because I never talk about it)

The eastern part of the nether is relatively isolated from the rest of the setting due to a large grove of incense trees that creates a type of border. (incense trees are a very fragrant type of plant that can cause anything from allergic reactions to chemical burns in a lot of nether species).

Due to its isolation and its distance from the western nether (where gods and godlings from Mame's line are more common), the east ends up having a small, more influential pantheon of gods.

The gods consist of: -- Ven: a god of nature who spends most of their time cultivating plant and animal life. responsible for groves of birchlike trees that bleed golden sap. This is reminiscent, and has somewhat similar properties, to gods blood. -- Khon: a god of luck who grants boons and curses through the magic rings he gifts. Khon has a tendency to wander out of boredom and curiosity. -- Cten (or Ctenda, or Ctanda): A swanlike god with three heads, primarily a god of art, although it later becomes fixated on war and protection after later events.

Ven and Khon create a new race called the Ven'Kan, yes that is why they're called that. Cten mostly keeps to itself and harbors flocks of strange, large birds.

Eventually word gets out through the border and other people start learning about this trio of (relatively) benevolent, peaceful gods. God's blood is something that can be sold for a significant amount of money, and the opportunity to obtain it without needing to venture west is an appealing one.

Assassination attempts are made against Ven and Cten. Ven is a pacifist who is successfully killed, while Cten is beheaded but does not die. Khon is elsewhere at the time and only realizes what had happened upon his return.

After being wounded, Cten becomes significantly more aggressive and takes on the role of a god of war. It is very protective of its nest (typical of a swan) and passage to and from the eastern nether becomes further restricted.

Khon removes himself from the picture almost entirely, choosing to travel elsewhere and mourn rather than interfere further in what is happening. The balance of things has been thrown off, and although he still resides in his old home, he isolates from his creations and prefers that they consider him dead as well.

Name: Lincoln Ray

Pronouns: He/Him

Appearance: 5'10, tan, freckled, lanky, shoulder length choppy red hair he cuts and dyes himself, broken nose, reddish-brown bloodshot eyes, often wears sunglasses due to his photosensitivity, has a scar on his chin and scarred knuckles.

Lincoln is a joke oc I made to mock dudes who think they're cool because they play guitar who accidentally became one of my favorite little guys from my mind of all time. He's a trans self-made musician and neither Lincoln nor Ray are his legal names, but since he had an abusive father and his mother abandoned him in the hospital after he was born (for which his dad blamed him) he prefers not to go by his surname. His little sister, Maisey-Lee (also trans), also uses the surname "Ray", as Lincoln basically raised her, escaping from the house after his dad turned his abusive tendencies on Maisey shortly before he turned 18.

He's Texan, with a noticeable Southern drawl, and his difficult upbringing has led to him putting on a front of ironically over-the-top masculinity (at least in his mannerisms; he wears his hair long and dresses in punkish fashion, and is a vocal and supportive ally of LGBT and other marginalized people, a lot of whom make up his fanbase) and struggling to sincerely express himself emotionally or let himself be vulnerable with others. However he's kinder and more capable of caring for others than he believes himself to be, with a big and rather soft heart and a strong sense of justice.

Lincoln is best friends and secretly in love with his childhood friend Memphis. They met in middle school before Lincoln transitioned, after being sent to the principal's office for fighting in class, and stuck by each other until Lincoln went his own way to pursue his career in music. Lincoln struggles with his feelings for Memphis, as although the two are close he worries about ruining their friendship and suffers from some internalized shame and fear of judgement despite identifying as bisexual.

Lincoln struggles with anger issues caused by his difficult childhood as a neglected and abused trans kid in rural Texas, but music helps him to channel his rage and cope with his more destructive impulses, and he's nothing but good to Maisey and other kids, who he feels a sense of protectiveness over. He tends to stick up for anyone he perceives as vulnerable and in need of a protector.

Lincoln started as a TMA oc (avatar of the Slaughter), but he's also featured as an oc in Netherbound (original fiction RP) as a voidsoul (incarnation of a person who died; in Lincoln's case he died after picking a barfight with the wrong people) and Angelverse (original fiction RP) as the Angel of War, who fell from heaven and now pursues his true passion of making music and protecting others, particularly those harmed by the same wars he was created in the name of.

Iris - What subject would your muse consider themselves an expert on?

Traditional Quel'dorei baking styles! A lot of generational knowledge was lost in the march of the Scourge and siege of the city, and she remembers growing up in a time before the extensive trade networks were set up to bring in produce, livestock, and cultural foods from other regions of the world.

Answered here!
