WHAT. HELLO

[courtclover]

James: If you're looking to the west towards the sunset and you look right up here, you'll see Venus and Jupiter. They're very bright in the evening sky and they'll eventually go down towards the horizon as they set quite early in the evening. And if you look all the way up here, you'll find the moon way up here. And if you tilt your head this way and you draw a little line from the moon all the way down to the planets and down to the sun, this is where you'll find the sun below the horizon—that's called the ecliptic plane. All the planets lie along that plane. Pretty cool fun fact :)

a reckless but talented helmsman for the drowned wraith, exiled from the silvershore clan.

STATS

name : santiago the reckless

age : 28

ship : the drowned wraith 

family : estranged mother and father

personality : jovial, gregarious, reckless, facetious

pronouns : he/him

sexuality : pansexual

BACKGROUND

santiago was born into the silvershore clan and his parents expected a great deal from him, even as a young child. however, he was always getting into trouble and he never took anything seriously -- much to his parents' chagrin.

he always felt called to the sea -- that was the one place where he felt like he had purpose and talent. at sea, he couldn't hear his parents' condescending words instead he found peace, even in the rockiest waves.

as he grew up, he realized he didn't want to be a part of the silvershore clan -- he didn't care for the politics of the clan and desired a life at sea, so at sixteen he abandoned the clan and was subsequently exiled. luckily, he had built a boat to escape his old life and soon after, found his way to the drowned wraith. impressed with his sailing, he was quickly brought on board and trained to be a helmsman. he knows the way around the ocean better than he knows the back of his hand and he finally feels like he has a home amongst the members of the drowned wraith.

he's a bit of a mess and reckless -- especially on the ship, but he's talented and trusted. santiago loves being surrounded by others and is friendly, always chatting with people and he knows no stranger. despite his jovial demeanor, deep inside he misses his parents and he mourns the life he never had of a respected, well-behaved warrior who made his parents proud.

HEADCANONS

santiago often dives off of the drowned wraith for fun, purposefully stirring up panic amongst the leaders and elders

he longs for peace and stability, but he feels like that is not in his destiny

despite being a pirate, santiago is terrified of fish. he hates seeing them when he's swimming.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

former friend or acquaintance : someone from the silvershore clan who remembers santiago from his youth and either harbors resentment for him or respect!

partner in crime : someone who encourages santiago's antics and maybe even participates in them with him!

unlikely friend : someone perhaps from another ship or clan who's very different than santiago and they bring out the best in one another!

flirtationships/situationships/someone santiago has an unrequited crush on!

i'm up for anything :)

closed started for @valkyrics — finn & naga.

finn had heard of silvershore's high priestess, of course. had seen her before too, in all of her radiance that he knew he shouldn't trust. as an ironblood he had it drilled into him that the silvershore clan should be dealt with as little as possible at all, and yet there he was; glancing at her silhouette in the flames of the pyre, each footstep taking him closer. finn was privy to many things, desire and battle amongst them, but if there was one thing he was always drawn to it would be a seer. how could a child of prophecy be expected to avoid the pull to potential answers?

"high priestess." he greeted with a respectful nod as he approached her side. he glanced between the pyre and her indomitable eyes. "do the flames speak to you?" he pried curiously, the corners of his lips pulling up into half a smile. "i hope they talk fondly of me."

Conspiracies are taking over.

( CISFEMALE / SHE/HER ) An ALICIA AGNESON  lookalike has arrived in Myrkvjord, standing among the warriors of THE SILVERSHORE CLAN, their presence impossible to ignore. SIGRID LODSDOTTIR (HER CURRENT NAME) recently marked their  TWENTY-EIGHTH name day, and already, whispers of their deeds (or misdeeds) are spreading. Some claim they are  MANIPULATIVE, while others insist they are  MUTABLE —either way, they are bound to leave their mark. With a reputation growing, they are poised to shape the fate of their people. You might recognize them as an ASSASIN/SPY, but soon, they will be known for far more.

Her name was not Sigrid then, in those first hours when her mother held her tightly to her bare chest in their tiny hut. Brigid had been the name her mother had murmured into her cheek as she held her tightly. Brigid had been loved; Brigid was happy. Though she had no knowledge of her father, save that he had something to do with a shiny rock that her mother held tightly at night when she thought Brigid was not looking, Brigid felt complete in her small world. She did not need a father when her mother held enough power herself, the power of a wise woman. Men and women came to her with their heads covered and their purses full, handing her the pieces of gold and silver for bottles and bags. At the time, Brigid did not know what the bags and bottles were for, but they paid well and those who bought them always seemed to extol her mother. It was a sort of power, Brigid supposed, but she had no idea how fickle power could be, not then.

One night, however, a man came to her mother, but he did not want one of her bags or her bottles. He had a large square jaw that matched his large square fists; he had barged into her mother's hut as she had hidden Brigid behind laundry. He yelled that her mother was a witch and that she had murdered his child. Her mother protested her innocence, but he was not listening. His chased her around the small hut, knocking over all her mother's work until he caught her and hoisted her up in the air by her neck, his large square hands tightening and tightening. Brigid was small, but her rage was immense and she grabbed two of the knives her mother used to chop her herbs and cut the back of the man's knee, and, when he dropped down, into his neck. She was blooded. It should have ended there, but the man was not any man, but the son of noble and his death was not one that would be swept under the rug so Brigid's mother took the blame. When they took her life in retribution, they all but took Brigid's too.

The young girl wandered with no home and no clan until trouble and a chance encounter with fate brought her into the path of a most dangerous woman, an assassin for the Silvershore clan. She took the young girl in and renamed her Sigrid; Sigrid was then trained in the art of duplicity and violence. After all, the girl had the beauty and grace of a doe, but the sharpness of a hawk. After all Sigrid had seen, her blades were never far. So much death should have given her a reputation, but the girl seemed to move like water, slipping from place to place and person to person. She was nobody and anyone all at once, with a cadre of names and backstories always at the ready. Woe to her next mark, her smile is lovely but it is poison.

Connections:

The Mark: Sigrid has been hired to get close to this person, extract information, and then maybe kill them. Maybe the mark gets wise or maybe they don't. Maybe Sigrid enjoys their company too much to finish the job. The possibilities are endless.

Just a Taste: Sigrid and this person had something once upon a time, but it left one or both of them with a craving for more. Now that everyone is together in the same place, it might be hard to resist

Why are you still alive?: Sigrid swore she killed this person and now they are back from the dead. What's an assassin got to do to finish a job around here?

Revenge is a dish best served cold : Sigrid killed this person's loved one on the orders of someone else and this person is getting close to discovering it. Will they find our and enact their revenge or will they turn Sigrid to find out who hired her in the first place?

( CISWOMAN / SHE/HER ) A HAZAL FILIZ KÜÇÜKKÖSE lookalike has arrived in Myrkvjord, standing among the warriors of THE SILVERSHORE CLAN, their presence impossible to ignore. LEILA SOLAK recently marked their THIRTY-FIFTH name day, and already, whispers of their deeds (or misdeeds) are spreading. Some claim they are MATERIALISTIC, while others insist they are CONFIDENT—either way, they are bound to leave their mark. With a reputation growing, they are poised to shape the fate of their people. You might recognize them as a DIPLOMAT/POLITICIAN, but soon, they will be known for far more.

basics.

name: leila solak

age: 35

gender & pronouns: ciswoman & she/her

sexuality: bisexual

clan & occupation: the silvershore clan & diplomat/politician

family.

parents: deceased

siblings: none

appearance.

faceclaim: hazal filiz küçükköse

hair: dark brown

eyes: brown

tattoos: on her fingers mostly.

scars: one or two

background.

you were raised into wealth, taught that the best knife comes in the most beautiful of coins. that your tongue can defeat any person because at the end of the day, everybody has a price, and you're someone that's willing to pay if needs be. your family gave you so much; your mother taught you magic in secret, not even your father knew of the magic running in your family's fingertips. and your father taught you the ways of getting what you wanted using politics. that coin could make someone lift a blade to someone's throat and your hands? they always stay clean. but you didn't care if they got dirty.

your family sent you for a mission, you would be a diplomat for a clan. in order to make your family's name famous across the ocean. you wanted to stay, to be safe and comfortable within the hold of house solak, but there was nothing you could do to change your father's mind and so you went to a ship to join a clan that shared your family's beliefs.

making your own name in your clan was easy, you radiated confidence, an image of a diplomat who deserved to be where she is today. with a smile on your face and a blade behind your back. the teachings of your now deceased parents, which you found through a letter, a wonderful memory, but you wanted more.

what's the point of all this wealth if you don't have power? what's the point of all the secrets that you know, the whispers that hear and speak if you couldn't change the world to be in your favor? you are greedy. you want to give your clan a throne. you use magic to your advantage, you use your tongue to do your biddings. and it might be your undoing.

but it's not yet, now is it? you have a dream of a castle and a lavish life and you have no problem playing the long game to get it. you're patient, as silvershore offers you to live the almost perfect life and to meet so many people and to charm even more.

maybe you were born spoiled, or maybe you have a vision that other people seem to lack. because you know what the future holds; all these brutes and animals in the other clans will end up as silvershore's pawns.

wanted connections.

romance — someone she's had a relationship before she left her home and had to break it off because she knew that she won't be coming back and didn't want that person to wait for her. this person could be in any clan ( except silvershore ), even a pirate or exiled!

fellow witches — someone else that is a witch and together they keep each other's secret, maybe train.

payment — someone who owes leila information or payment or a favor. she did something for them and looking to collect.

favor — other way around, maybe they've done something for leila and looking to collect on the promise she made them.

strength — someone who's probably outside the clan that leila had dealings with, maybe they're teaching her how to fight with a sword ( after showing her that sometimes blood helps coin )

friends, enemies & clan members!

any and all other plots!

A Breakdown of the Thoughtstream

I wish we had gotten to see the full breadth of the thoughtstream, but as we didn't I've assembled all the canon information we have about it, and some person speculation:

Information on the Thoughtstream from canon: Suits: Wastes, Wilds, Frosts, Mirrors [and the secret Skulls suit, which only comes up for Olala] Ax, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Parapet Ax: "Warriors Hunters and Conquest" According to Tiilei, comes up for Galahad and Marc 2: Love/Relationships? Comes up for Pix and David. 3: No appearances 4: Nature, wilderness, beasts? Comes up for the King Tyrantlizard 5: No appearances 6: No appearances 7: No appearances 8: "Temples and Protectors" According to Tiilei, comes up for Tiilei and the Garden of Graves itself 9: Magic, mystery, crossroads? Comes up for the magic guitar that creates a doorway, and the magic effect replaying Pix and David's last moments Parapet: Borders, endings? Comes up for Fort Terminus

As a refresher, cards come up as predicting the presence of something associated with the meaning of the number, from a part of the world associated with the suit. So Marc came up as the Ax of Wilds, Caroline might come up as the Ax of Frosts, Quanyii might come up as the 9 of Wastes, Silvershore might come up as the Parapet of Mirrors, etc.

So we have no information on four of the numbers, 3, 5, 6, and 7. Now, the numbered cards from the minor arcana have some consistent themes among the numbers-- and so I've consolidated them into:

3: Companions, achievements, victors

5: Loss, defeat, loneliness

6: Leadership, order, wealth

7: Liars, fears, dreams [the ephemeral]

Which gives us:

Ax: Warriors, Hunters, and Conquest

2: Lovers and Relationships

3: Comradery, Achievement, and Victory

4: Nature, Wilderness, and Beasts

5: Loss, Defeat, and Loneliness

6: Leadership, Order, and Wealth

7: Liars, Fears, and Dreams

8: Temples and Protectors

9: Magic, Mystery, and Crossroads

Parapet: Borders and Endings

All of this for my fic where this may be relevant

[thesecondcitadel]

funny to me how the holiday specials have been becoming more and more plot relevant to both storylines but have retained the silliness levels of non canon joke episodes. echidnacht is absolutely necessary to the second citadel silvershore set of arcs and in it ale duels a monster named "the wolf" because he's always wanted to fight a werewolf but it turns out the wolf just called himself that cause he's a loner and he's actually a werebeaver, which totally messes with ale's dryad-based powers. the april fool is clearly doing some work to set up juno s5 and it's about juno having a multiverse hallucination where he's trying to catch a crook call the fucking april fool. the intended read for these episodes is probably meant to be "these events broadly happened but this is a sillyified version of what really went down in-universe" but I'm simply choosing to take them at face value.
