#the lucky trickster verse

[ofluckandmagic]

The dwarf offers a sheepish smile, their expression filled with something akin to mischief, but holding a sense of genuine amusement at the Asgardian’s confusion. Eydis is more than used to confusing people. Whether with their unorthodox gender presentation, their role as Loki, when the world had assumed it wasn’t them, or their roots as a Forge Dragon. “Not right now, no. I’d rather not startle you.” Shapeshifting came easy to Eydis, but the Forge Dragon shape was one that they often hid. Dragons, of any kind, weren’t treated all that kindly historically. In truth, they didn’t want to scare Sigyn. She was far too important to hurt her like that. “It’s not that I don’t want to cook, it’s just that…” They paused as flowering four leaf clovers sprouted up all over braid and hair, their embarrassment on display. “…I’m not very good at it? At least, not as good as I should be.”

@ofluckandmagic said: “I don’t cook! I’m a scary and powerful forge dragon!” --- Eydis to Sigyn!

The young Asgardian blinks, head tilting with curiosity and confusion, thinking over their statement. Sigyn then soon lets out a warm chuckle. "But you do not appear to be a dragon." That didn't mean that they couldn't probably shapeshift into one. After all, she wouldn't put it past Loki being capable of doing so. "If you don't want to cook, it's okay. I don't mind doing so instead. All you need is to tell me. You can tell me anything."

Where The Dead Forget — Chapter 5: Together

Hades Gameverse Memory Loss AU | Achilles/Patroclus | M | Chapters: 5/21 | Words: 50,751 (Ch 5: 10,463 words)

Cover Art by: @alibonbonn

Excerpt:

“What have I ever done to earn residence in such a hallowed place?” He says aloud again. “Simply rubbing shoulders with greatness should hardly qualify. An unremarkable life, snuffed out in an unremarkable way. A few lucky strikes here and there perhaps, but still reduced to rotting flesh and then ash and bones, just like all the others. No friends or family to speak of… no name, no honor… not even a verse in song, surely. Just another—“

He pauses, as he thinks he has just heard a faint rustling over the sound of his own voice. He listens carefully, and indeed: there is a distant creaking, and then the clang of the metal gate at the entrance to the glade.

This is not so unusual. Patroclus occasionally receives visitors and passers by—perhaps more often than he would in fact prefer, but most of them are quickly sent on their way once he has made it clear he is not interested in sparring or feasting or fucking or whatever else it is that shades in Elysium divert themselves with for eternity.

Except.

There is a certain one who passes through sometimes. He is a god, by Patroclus’ estimation—princely and well-mannered, but unsettling, in his way, as all gods are. When he visits, he is always asking Patroclus such unusual, confounding questions, to such a degree that Patroclus often fears he is being toyed with. He has already searched his mind to recall if any of the stories told of Chthonic trickster gods: Eris? Apate? Dolos? Or perhaps even Hermes, the artful Olympian psychopomp? This particular one possesses a youthful countenance much like Hermes, but he is more akin to the spirited, flickering flame of a campfire, rather than the swift breath of wind from a bird’s flapping wing.

In any case, Patroclus does not trust him. He is wary of his easy smiles and friendly, insistent manner. Patroclus can only think to bribe him with his untouched collection of healing draughts and refreshments in order to make him go away whenever he appears. He sincerely hopes it is not that odd stranger who has decided to come back again.

Patroclus picks another cluster of flowers to busy himself with as his visitor approaches. He can see the shade cresting the stairs out of the corner of his eye. Patroclus does not deign to look in his direction, and yet the shade stands there, as if quietly observing him, expectant and waiting.

“Hello,” a man’s voice says.

Pls may u tell me who itto’s parent is pls thank u also I love ur theme so MUCH 🫧☁️🍥

Itto Arataki is a ... son of Hermes, the trickster God of travel, language, thievery, trade, and luck. He is a messenger God, most often servicing Zeus. Children of Hermes are known to get into a bit of mischief and mayhem just as our dear Itto!

While Itto may not be a thief or particularly well versed in language, I think this is a befitting connection. Itto is rather lucky, all his big plans work out in the end (thanks to his father I'd say).

send me a character to assign a godly parent

He mostly take the form of a 27-30 year old man or woman to others, but can change his physical age. His body is athletically built with defined muscles, however not as muscular and large as other male Aesir such as Thor or Tyr.

The Trickster has sharp but not unpleasant features, to most he is beautiful to look upon, no matter the gender. He wields an alluring aura. Like fire, Loke’s eyes are bright and intense. A flame-like red and yellow, wich gleams even in the faintest of shadows. Black dots under the lower lashes frame the eyes. He has many freckles sprinkled across his face, most notable over his cheekbones, the bridge of his nose and above his eyebrows. 

Curved horns with old-nordic patterns engraved into their surfaces decorate the top of his head. They are his most striking features alongside his fiery red hair; untamed and wild just like his nature. It is lenghty and reach past his hips, and curl around his horns and spread out as if the laws of gravity does not apply to his hair, he often let the hair be braided into one or three braids that drape over his shoulders. His skin is pale and on syren tinted lips are permanent, rough jacks and scars, a result after the punishment where he got them sewn together. His ears are pointed, and his nails are sharp like claws, often painted black.

INTERESTS

Loke takes interest in things that pleases him. Mischief; pranks and a bit of chaos entertains him greatly, but so does also the entertainment of others. He often interacts with mortal beings; either to chat or to cause minor trouble, eitherway it amuses him most of the time. He also enjoys horseback riding, sex, food and alcohol.

PERSONALITY

He’s a very light-hearted God, who often wear a sly smile on his face. It is uncommon to find him in a serious mood, even when the situation would call for it. He is compassionate and giving to those who are devoted to him, most of his actions aimed at his worshippers have good intention, but his methods are that of rough love; making others face the hard truth, face their insecurities as he guides them to their fated path. This doesn’t make him any less of a mischevious trickster,however, even to his followers. He will find amusement along the journey, be it on their behalf, others, or his own.

But despite his easy-going and wild nature, Loke is capable of great anger, of wrath, an emotion one does not wish to evoke from him- as the lenghts he will go to get that sweet revenge are great and have no limits. He is not beyond killing someone out of spite or sheer annoyance. To get on Loke’s bad side is to wish for a life filled with unrest. And with Hela, the Goddess and Ruler of the Unworthy dead, as his daughter, not even death may be peaceful.

MORAL ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Neutral

HOGWARTS HOUSE: Slytherin

POSITIVE TRAITS: Charismatic, intelligent, humorous, playful, curious, creative, ambitious, patient, loyal, passionate, caring, generous.

NEGATIVE TRAITS: Manipulative, crafty, mischevious, decietful, distrustful, violent, chaotic, impulsive, rude, hateful, jealous, vengeful, volatile, unpredictable, unscrupulous, dishonest, juvenile, proud, stubborn.

PHYSICAL ABILITIES:

INTELLIGENCE: Loke has a genius level intellect and possesses a great deal of knowledge and wisdom. He is often valued as many mortal’s pateron god not only for his mischevious and light-hearted nature, but for his advice and knowledgeable mind. He is also extremely cunning and skilled, an expert battle strategist, and a highly skilled; charming and charismatic manipulator, which is evident by the ease how Loke repeatedly succeeded to regain the trust of his fellow Gods, despite his numerous deciets.

SKILLED COMBATANT: Loke is a formidable combatant, as a hand-to-hand fighters, and particularly as a swordsman or in the use of seidr during combat situations. Against mortal beings (super-human or not) Loke will win with overwhelming easy victory, the strenght of a god is not to be underestimated or down-played. The sheer force of his screams are powerful enough to cause violent earthquakes on Midgård(earth) when he is not even present on that world.

SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH: Loke, without the aid of anything, through his own biology, possess strenght far FAR greater than that of an average human male, even mortal beings enchanced with superhuman abilities or strenght ( keep in mind that just the pure force of his screams is powerful enough to cause destructive earthquakes on Midgård when he is not even on that realm; hence the name Roarer ).  However his physical strenght is average in comparision to the most skilled warriors of his fellow Gods such as Tyr, Freyr and Thor.

FIRE-RESISTANT: He is resistent to fire, all kinds of fire. Fire will not harm him.

SUPERHUMAN LONGEVITY: Loke will not die unless killed by another God. Only Gods are able to truly harm him and mortally wound him, and even kill him. If killed he reincarnates.

SEIDR:

DREAM-VIEWING: Loke can enter; watch and interact with other beings’ dreams. There he can see their desires; ambitions and personality traits. He can gain knowledge of secrets kept away if the person is not strong-willed enough to keep it hidden in their dreams.

TELEPORTATION: He can teleport himself or others across dimensions and space and time.

PSIONICS: Loke has powerful psionic capabilities He has the ability to project his thoughts telepathically well as potent hypnotic capabilities.

SHAPE-SHIFTING: Loke possesses shape-shifting abilities through his own biology. He is able to adopt any form imaginable whether it be animals, other humanoid beings, or even inanimate objects— and gaining the abilities of whatever form he takes. The only limit is his own imagination.

PYROKINESIS: Loke is a God of Fire. He is able to control the elements of fire as he so see fit. He can summon flames to physically appear in his hands and around his body or use his sorroundings to control it at will. There is no limit to the amount of fire he can produce, nor how high he can turn up the temperature- if he wanted to, he could melt down buildings made out of rock, and metal. He could make a planet’s earth crumble under the heat. This also makes him invulnerable to fire, all types of fire.

RESSURECTION: Just as his fire may bring destruction and chaos and death, it can also bring warmth and life.  He is able to bring life to the recently deceased, and is thought to be one of the Gods who created the first humans (together with Höenir and Oden). 

INVISIBILITY: Loke, like his fellow Gods; is able to render himself unseen to the eye of other beings. A nice quirk benefitting Gods as they can shred themselves of physical flesh and roam as shapeless entities in any realm, or in mortal minds. He can remain unseen to mortal eyes for as long as he so desire, and only shows himself for those he wants to see him. However sharp-minded and attentive beings can possibly sense something is there, but not actually see him.

ILLUSIONS: Loke is able to fool his enemies who try to attack him with illusions of himself. He can also cast illusionary images inside mortal beings minds— fooling them by making them think what is not there, exists, as well as affect their senses while they're in that illusionary reality.

PROJECTION: Loke, like all other Gods, is able to be at multiple places at the same time, without loosing any attention or power. With many devoted to their Pantheon, there are many beings’ prayers to pay attention to.

BIOGRAPHY

Loke is the son of the giants Farabute and Laufey, and brother to Byleist and Helblinde. By the Giantess Angrboða, Loke is the father of Hel (the Goddess of Death, and ruler of Helheimr), the Giant Wolf Fenrir, and the World Serpent Jörmungandr. By his wife Sigyn, Loke is the father of Narfi and Nari. By the stallion Svaðilfari, Loke is the mother—giving birth in the form of a mare—to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir.

Brought from the realm Jötunheimr by Oden, Loke was recruited to assist the Gods. Oden and Loke saw kinship in eachother as they both were equal in their cunning, wisdom. knowledge and trickery. They held great mutual respect for eachother, and enjoyed the other’s company enough to share their blood, therefore becoming blood-brothers.

“ Remember, Oden, in olden days... That we both our blood have mixed. Then you promised, no ale to pour, unless it were brought for us both. ”

Their relationship is a complicated story of trust and deciet and betrayal. They see eachother as friends, and brothers. Making a blood-pact oath to treat eachother as family. Oden and Loke are and were closer than any of the other Gods were in relation to the All-father, aside from Frigga, Oden’s wife, and his children. With time this trust was broken, both sides to blame — and their feud would come to bring upon the end of all the Realms. Ragnarök.

Loke’s relation with the Gods varies. Loke sometimes helps the Gods and sometimes causes problems for them. Loke is a powerful user of seidr, a shape shifter and a God of Fire and Madness and Chaos and Mischief. But he is also known as the God of Laughter and Mirth, Creativity and Change. Nothing with the Gods is black or white. They are all assholes and good people. Human and mortal logic and morals are not to be expected from them.

Loke’s positive relations with the Gods end with his role in, out of jealousy and resentment, engineering the death of the god Baldr, Oden’s son. He also appeared as a foe of the Gods, entering their banquet uninvited and demanding their drink. Loke is eventually bound by the Gods with the entrails of his sons, Narfi and Vali as punishment for killing the God of Light.

Depending on the timeline, Loke is loyal to Asgard and often ally with them— but, past complicated events that lead to Loke loosing trust in the Aesir, Loke flips the switch and grows hateful of the Aesir. He becomes so spiteful and vengeful he engineers Baldr’s death, and as punishment he is bound to to a rock where the venom of a snake is to drip onto Loke’s face forever, with his wife Sigyn keeping him company during his punishment. Eventually he escape from his bonds; more vengeful than ever. He wish to gain revenge upon those he feel have wronged him. With the Gods no longer countable, Loke takes the opposing side of the Aesir during Ragnarök; the End of All Worlds- he chose to oppose them alongside his children ( who also sought revenge for their mistreatment by the Aesir) and be responsible for their ruin.

After Ragnarök, Loke had ‘died’ during the war and was reincarnated, like the other deceased Gods. As the Worlds healed and became hospitable for life, Loke opted to lay low until things began moving in the Realms once more.  

Past Ragnarök he is no longer fueled with rage and a thirst for revenge. He is tired and avoids the Gods most of the time; having grown past their previous disputes, as it does not serve immortal dities well to hold an eternal grudge. He is still drawn to chaotic events and mischief; his charm and impish and playful attitude intact, but he is less likely to cause major trouble.

[inmyhellbelow]

hiii!! sorry for bothering u, i’m just new in this community and i wanted to ask about the worshiping/deals or how its called with the gods? like how do u do it?? does it have consequences?

hello! first off you're no bother at all :) im happy to help!

so, first thing to cover is terminology. the terms you're looking for are deity worship, and deity work. and these two are vastly different!

deity worship mainly involves honoring the gods, this can involve praying to them, building altars to them, giving them offerings, donating to charities in their names, and a lot more. this varies by deity and by practitioner, as to what applies to their personal practice! research what individual deities want/like, and if you have direct communication with them, you can also ask! follow your intuition on this. just because something isnt a common/mainstream offering for a deity doesnt mean they wont want it/like it.

deity work involves a give and take relationship. you give things to the gods, be it offerings, altar spaces, energy, this also varies by god and by practitioner. (oftentimes for me, as i focus a lot on low energy offerings, i devote my acts of self care and general work to my deities. a more specific example, i offer me making money to hades and give him most of (if not all of) my spare change for his altar) in return for the energy you give them, they give you something. most often its a teaching of some sort (i.e things about your practice, mental health, general life, interpersonal relationships, etc)

also - a lot of demons and demonic gods will commonly make pacts with their devotees, but i do not recommend this to anyone in their first year or two of practice. i have not even made pacts with the demons i work with, and if i ever do, ill be waiting until i am ready to outline a contract with them, because this is very risky without being fully ready. this is very late stage imo, but i am not going to dictate what anyone should do. (see also; "dont do anything until you're ready") this is NOT required for demon work. demons, and demonic kings and gods, will always respect your boundaries on this. (if they try to push this subject, that is likely not who they say they are.) this is a subject i am not well versed on.

you'll likely want to start with worship before you get into work, to build a relationship with the gods, and to learn the ins and outs of everything! deity work can be exhausting if you are not ready, and potentially dangerous if you are not able to educate yourself and vet your deities. sometimes trickster spirits and other less-than-desirable entities can disguise themselves as deities and feed off your energy, giving you nothing but energetic and emotional debt in return. (ive not personally had experiences with this, so i cannot give advice on that. ive been lucky in not encountering negative entities like this, but my wards and vetting has also likely prevented this)

additionally, step one to any worship or work is warding. learn to ward efficiently and keep unwanted things out of your space before you invite anything else in.

im not saying much on "deity work isnt for beginners" because "beginner" is a very subjective term imho. i will say this: do not do anything until you are confident in doing it, until you are completely ready for it. you are more knowledgeable in your path than i, or anyone else online. before taking a step forward, ask yourself if you're ready. if you're anxious about it, wait a bit longer!

i hope this answers your questions! im always open to more questions! you can always send another ask if you want more info :) again, im so happy to help! /gen

Quinlan Eira

Also check out this fanart plumblueflower made for me!

Nicknames: The Fool, Fleetfoot, The Traveler, The Trickster, Lord of Luck, Adrian Cheque, Renatus Morgan, Damien Allaway, Rhiannon Allaway 

Age: Unknown, Ancient, Appears/Acts Mid/Late-20s 

Birthday/Zodiac: June 21, Gemini

Pronouns: Genderfluid, Any Pronouns, but generally prefers the pronouns associated with their currently-presenting shape 

Sexuality: Pansexual/Panromantic 

Species: Deity/Shapeshifter depending on the verse 

Physical Description (anything not covered by the picrew):  Quinlan’s nature as a shapeshifter means they can look like anything and anyone. However, their “default” face is dark-skinned and dark-haired, with a long, diagonal scar across the bridge of their nose and eyes that never seem to be the same color. The one constant between all of their forms is a set of complex, iridescent white-ink tattoos gracing their arms from shoulder to fingertip. These are actually a physical manifestation of a binding curse placed on them by their sister, meant to prevent them from meddling in the lives of mortals. These markings are a tell-tale sign that it’s them, regardless of their current form. Their fashion sense varies wildly based on how they feel- and what they need to do- that day, but generally includes long sleeves and some sort of full or partial hand-covering to mask the curse-marks.

Personality: Quinlan is a jack-of-all-trades sort of deity, with a broad portfolio including Mischief, Travel, Luck, Loyalty, Dragons, Music, Freedom, Humanity, Ingenuity, and War (and, by association with war, Madness). They possess all the chaotic tendencies such a wild and wide-spread portfolio would indicate and are, at their core, a traveler and mischief maker. They're fiercely loyal, and care deeply for the people of each world they visit. However, they are still a trickster, and also like to mess with those they deem deserving. They want to gather as much knowledge as they can, partially to try to lift Aislyn’s curse, and partially just for the sake of knowledge. As it makes things easier, both from a mischief standpoint as well as in terms of avoiding people they’d rather not interact with, they try to go incognito most of the time, and bear multiple aliases and false personas in order to maintain their freedom. 

Background: Quinlan's background is not something they tend to talk about. That said, some important highlights from their backstory that may come up or be expounded upon in threads with them include: Their existence as a minor god and muse during the height of the pantheon, their promotion to one of the major gods once the original major gods were killed, their subsequent madness induced by taking on such a large portfolio including war, Aislyn's actions to stop their rampage, including the binding curse on them in any present threads, and the fact that they currently travel wherever they can, collecting knowledge and stories from across the multiverse. 

Abilities and Proficiencies: Quinlan is a shapeshifter, able to take on any humanoid form. They are also an accomplished actor and speaker, very capable of fooling or convincing most average-intelligence individuals.

Affiliations: Aislyn Eira (Sister, not on good terms in most verses), Asra Wavewalker (Friend and former lover), Lorelei (Leader of the pantheon, Kind of an auntish figure) 

Verses: Quinlan has four major verses, though for the most part little changes between them.        

Major Deity. This is Quinlan's current-day main verse. They are a major god of their pantheon, and have been properly bound so that their portfolio-induced madness is not a problem. They are on bad terms with their sister Aislyn, and are generally a classic happy-go-lucky-seeming bard. That said, they have issues with being treated like an authority, and the curse prevents them from harming people, on the pain of having that same injury directed back onto them.

Mad Deity. Takes place in the past a bit, features unbound, fully insane Quinlan. They may try to stab without warning- or as a warning. Interact at your own risk.

Muse. Takes place even further in the past, features carefree muse Quinlan. They act similar here to full-deity Quinlan, but are weaker in terms of powers, uncursed, and much more irresponsible. This Quinlan, being uncursed, can harm people, but still generally doesn't.

Mortal. Generally also similar to full-deity Quinlan in terms of personality, may be cursed or uncursed, but is fully mortal and can absolutely die. Generally a little more rough-and-tumble.

TDP. Quinlan as a startouch elf has much the same attitude they always do. Unlike their sister, they are only connected to the moon, ocean, and stars. (The fact that they have figured out the ocean arcanum and she hasn't drives Aislyn endlessly mad.)

Background Information - Ramshackle Dorm

I should say this quickly: 

This is my INTERPERTATION of what I think Ramshackle Dorm will be like be based on the information we have about Ramshackle dorm and its' environment currently. I am not claiming this as canon in any way shape or form, and when we do get more information on this dorm (if we do) I am probably not going to change too much about my Ramshackle dorm because I already have developed it a lot, and also I don't want get into other's interpretations of Ramshackle dorm. 

I also DO NOT mean to be offensive to other people's Ramshackle dorm OCs or their interpretation of the dorm in any way shape or form. I tried my best not to seem like I am copying or stealing ideas from anybody, so I did as much research as I could on other's Ramshackle dorms just to make sure I'm not copying anybody's stuff. The only the that I used to help me with this was a theory that Ramshackle dorm was possibly founded after Pete or Oswald, and I thought Owsald was a better pick, this theory is from @darkspellmaster​ and @lovee-infected​ [if the two tagged are reading this, love you, sorry to tag but I loved the theory so much I based my fan dorm off it!) from the post: https://darkspellmaster.tumblr.com/post/616674941368238080/so-first-big-thank-you-to-geodraconia-for-using

But, other than that theory, I do not mean to be offensive to anybody's Ramshackle dorm OCs. So, sorry if I did. 

Founded upon the Cleverness of the Lucky Rabbit, this dorm is full of tricksters and lesser villians (or neutral characters within the stories they are based on) who are at Night Raven College. These students are known for being well-versed in many fields of study, and for not being the most clear cut of people. This often makes these dorm members not very well liked for their trickster nature by teachers and students alike, but they have been known to help when it benefits them or when they feel like it, much to people's want to be able to predict these people. The dorm members are known as the ones in the middle or the neutral characters, as these dorms members aren't always considered good or evil like the other dorms can be categorized, as the dorm members can play both side of a story as needed. These dorm members are also known for their ability to get into strange situations and generally get into trouble, as the Lucky Rabbit is believed to have been both lucky and unlucky based on fate, despite the dorm and the Lucky Rabbit not really believing in the concept. Thes dorm members can also be people who have decided to change their fate from what has been decided for them, as this is a pretty common occurrence in this dorm. 

History: Ramshackle Dorm is a dorm created in one of Night Raven College's years due to the dorm leaders stating that they needed a dorm for people such as tricksters and neutral people, as these people were numorus enough to fill the other dorms to the brim and the dorm leaders had trouble controlling these people due to their tricksterness and lack of control they had. The headermaster at the time, Conleth Falkenrath, agreed to try and find a solution after years of the dorm leaders complaining about it, and thus did several rituals about the situation to which the Dark Mirror stated that the new dorm would be made be called Ramshackle dorm, and then re-sorted certain people into the dorm, both whom the dorm leaders wanted out and not. And after few years long years after the dorm became an official and respected dorm next to the other more offical dorms in Night Raven College, but soon the dorm's population declined when the Dark Mirror suddenly stopped sorting people into Ramshackle dorm altogether, which at first was met with much backlash from previous Ramshackle residents despite not much the school could do to change the Dark Mirror's mind but then quickly faded into obscurity until Quentin Nighy-Sallow, Yuu and Grim came to Night Raven College and brought back the dorm. 

The Rumor of the Dormitory's Foundation: It is said that Ramshackle Dorm was originally an organization founded by the Clever Rabbit himself to create a stronghold against a dark force in Twisted Wonderland's past alongside his other companions before it was ever a dormitory. Because of the dark force becoming less and less out in the open as it used to be within the world, and the Clever Rabbit and his companion's fear of the force returning, the Clever Rabbit and the Runt Mouse made two organizations: one in Night Raven College, the other in Royal Sword Academy to teach and train the most powerful of the younger generations to protect themselves against the dark force which later became dormitories within the schools. It is also said when the Clever Rabbit died, he left behind a paintbrush staff for the dorm leader of Ramshackle dorm in case the dark force came back and said that if the force came back to look for the other organization, because they have another part to the brush. 

Most scholars believe that this rumor was started by a crazy conspiracy theorist teacher to gain respect on the other students and instill some form of unity between the two rivalling schools, but in recent years some scholars have said that the dark force might have been Overblots in some ancient form, and have wanted to get their hands on the legendary paintbrush and other part for scientific purposes, saying it might have been the first weapon specifically made against Overblot creatures. More conspiracy focused people say it was connected to the two schools' very foundations, and that the story has been water down over the years.

In the past, the Dorm Leader and Vice-leader was determined by a simple challenge of the whole dorm playing a modified game of hide and seek around Night Raven College's campus, and the two who were not found by the headmaster where crowned Leader and Vice-Leader for their craftiness and intelligence. But currently, the ones who are Leader and Vice-Leader are the leaders by default since they are the only students in the dorm currently.

@aeipathic asked: LEGOHEL FOR THE SHIP MEME (i can't turn down a dare) Send in two (or more) names and I’ll fill all this out about the ship!

Yes Rhys I am answering an ask you sent like. 5 years ago. What of it. 

Long post so I’m putting it under the cut for everyone’s sake. 

General:

Rate the Ship - Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? Um forever????

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - It probably took them a couple months, or at least, that’s how long it took to admit it to themselves

How was their first kiss? - I’m pretty sure it was spontaneous and more than a little amazing

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Legolas did!

Who is the best man/men? - Gimli and Eragorn probably, Hel would also try and talk Legolas into having Fenrir as a best man

Who is the bride’s maid(s)? - Tauriel of course! And Sigyn probably

Who did the most planning? - They both did an equal amount of planning, probably with some help from Thranduil on the side. 

Who stressed the most? - I actually don’t know, maybe Hel??

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - None!

How many children will they adopt? - One, a little girl named Ástrídr

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - They try and split it evenly in half, but since that’s not quite possible I think Hel might take on a few more diapers

Who is the stricter parent? - I think they’re mostly able to stay on the same page, but I can see Hel being a little stricter than Legolas

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Definitely Legolas

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Hel! 

Who is the more loved parent? - Asta loves both her parents equally

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - I can picture Legolas going to every single PTA meeting. Hel comes every so often (and probably shows up a good chunk of the moms with her baking skills)

Who cried the most at graduation? - Definitely going to go with Hel for this one, as much as she tried not to.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Either one of them, and then likely lecture them the whole way home (or uh. “lecture”, depending on what the crime they committed was)

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - This changes from week to week, both are good cooks. I’m sure a fair amount of times they cook dinner together (how much of this is them cooking together and how much is one person cooking while the other kisses them or sits on the counter stealing bites remains to be seen).

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - I can imagine Legolas is a bit pickier than Hel is when it comes to food.

Who does the grocery shopping? - I think it’s whoever’s got the time to, but sometimes they go out and do it together.

How often do they bake desserts? - Fairly often, I’m sure they both have a sweet tooth, and Hel really loves to bake.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Hel’s more of the meat lover of the two, although she’s not going to turn down salad.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - I can see this being Hel

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Legolas! Probably both for celebrating and for recognizing days when they’re too tired to cook. 

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Hel when she was first learning to cook, but now I think they’re both competent enough to avoid nearly burning the house down while cooking. 

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - Probably who ever has time, or whoever’s turn it is (I feel like they would try and take turns with cleaning)

Who is really against chores? - I don’t think either of them particularly like chores

Who cleans up after the pets? - Hel does! If it’s the dogs I’ve basically made canon in Hel’s main verse they were her dogs first anyways, so she cleans up after them. 

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Hel, when she’s really in a rush

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Depends on who the guests are I think. 

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Legolas did, Hel’s never gotten so lucky

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Legolas absolutely takes longer, look at how long his hair is. 

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Usually they do it together, but if only one of them can go it’s Legolas. Hel will take them to the dog park by herself though

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Not a year goes by without Hel insisting on decorating for Halloween, and leaving the decorations up for her birthday. And usually they decorate together for Christmas. 

What are their goals for the relationship? - I don’t think they really have specific goals except for like. You know. Be happy and healthy together for as long as they can.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Hel is, she’s such a night owl she’d be up late and sleep in if she had her choice. 

Who plays the most pranks? - Also Hel. She’s a trickster’s daughter, what would you expect.

APPEARANCE

Loke often appears with the height of 7'5"ft ( 229cm ); he is taller than most humans, but he is shorter than most Jötnar. His mother still towers above him. But to his height is average to that of an Aesir male.

 He mostly appears as a 27-30 year old man or woman to others, but can change his physical age. His body is athletically built with defined muscles, however not as muscular and large as other male Aesir such as Thor or Tyr.

The Trickster has sharp but not unpleasant features, to most he is beautiful to look upon, no matter the gender. He wields an alluring aura. Like fire, Loke’s eyes are bright and intense. A flame-like red and yellow, wich gleams even in the faintest of shadows. Black dots under the lower lashes frame the eyes. He has many freckles sprinkled across his face, most notable over his cheekbones, the bridge of his nose and above his eyebrows. 

Curved horns with old-nordic patterns engraved into their surfaces decorate the top of his head. They are his most striking features alongside his fiery red hair; untamed and wild just like his nature. It is lenghty and reach past his hips, and curl around his horns and spread out as if the laws of gravity does not apply to his hair, he often let the hair be braided into one or three braids that drape over his shoulders. His skin is pale and on syren tinted lips are permanent, rough jacks and scars, a result after the punishment where he got them sewn together. His ears are pointed, and his nails are sharp like claws, often painted black.

HEIGHT: 7'5"ft / 229cm (can be altered, true heigh is giant; sky-reaching) EYE COLOUR: Fire-Red and Yellow HAIR COLOUR: Fiery Red with a gradient to bright yellow at the hair’s edges. SKIN COLOUR: Pale BUILD: Athletic

INTERESTS

Loke takes interest in things that pleases him. Mischief; pranks and a bit of chaos entertains him greatly, but so does also the entertainment of others. He often interacts with mortal beings; either to chat or to cause minor trouble, eitherway it amuses him most of the time. He also enjoys horseback riding, sex, food and alcohol.

PERSONALITY

He’s a very light-hearted God, who often wear a sly smile on his face. It is uncommon to find him in a serious mood, even when the situation would call for it. He is compassionate and giving to those who are devoted to him, most of his actions aimed at his worshippers have good intention, but his methods are that of rough love; making others face the hard truth, face their insecurities as he guides them to their fated path. This doesn’t make him any less of a mischevious trickster,however, even to his followers. He will find amusement along the journey, be it on their behalf, others, or his own.

But despite his easy-going and wild nature, Loke is capable of great anger, of wrath, an emotion one does not wish to evoke from him- as the lenghts he will go to get that sweet revenge are great and have no limits. He is not beyond killing someone out of spite or sheer annoyance. To get on Loke’s bad side is to wish for a life filled with unrest. And with Hela, the Goddess and Ruler of the Unworthy dead, as his daughter, not even death may be peaceful.

MORAL ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Neutral

HOGWARTS HOUSE: Slytherin

POSITIVE TRAITS: Charismatic, intelligent, humorous, playful, curious, creative, ambitious, patient, loyal, passionate, caring, generous.

NEGATIVE TRAITS: Manipulative, crafty, mischevious, decietful, distrustful, violent, chaotic, impulsive, rude, hateful, jealous, vengeful, volatile, unpredictable, unscrupulous, dishonest, juvenile, proud, stubborn.

PHYSICAL ABILITIES:

INTELLIGENCE: Loke has a genius level intellect and possesses a great deal of knowledge and wisdom. He is often valued as many mortal’s pateron god not only for his mischevious and light-hearted nature, but for his advice and knowledgeable mind. He is also extremely cunning and skilled, an expert battle strategist, and a highly skilled; charming and charismatic manipulator, which is evident by the ease how Loke repeatedly succeeded to regain the trust of his fellow Gods, despite his numerous deciets.

SKILLED COMBATANT: Loke is a formidable combatant, as a hand-to-hand fighters, and particularly as a swordsman or in the use of seidr during combat situations. Against mortal beings (super-human or not) Loke will win with overwhelming easy victory, the strenght of a god is not to be underestimated or down-played. The sheer force of his screams are powerful enough to cause violent earthquakes on Midgård(earth) when he is not even present on that world.

SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH: Loke, without the aid of anything, through his own biology, possess strenght far FAR greater than that of an average human male, even mortal beings enchanced with superhuman abilities or strenght ( keep in mind that just the pure force of his screams is powerful enough to cause destructive earthquakes on Midgård when he is not even on that realm; hence the name Roarer ).  However his physical strenght is average in comparision to the most skilled warriors of his fellow Gods such as Tyr, Freyr and Thor.

FIRE-RESISTANT: He is resistent to fire, all kinds of fire. Fire will not harm him.

SUPERHUMAN LONGEVITY: Loke will not die unless killed by another God. Only Gods are able to truly harm him and mortally wound him, and even kill him. If killed he reincarnates.

SEIDR:

DREAM-VIEWING: Loke can enter; watch and interact with other beings’ dreams. There he can see their desires; ambitions and personality traits. He can gain knowledge of secrets kept away if the person is not strong-willed enough to keep it hidden in their dreams.

TELEPORTATION: He can teleport himself or others across dimensions and space and time.

PSIONICS: Loke has powerful psionic capabilities He has the ability to project his thoughts telepathically well as potent hypnotic capabilities.

SHAPE-SHIFTING: Loke possesses shape-shifting abilities through his own biology. He is able to adopt any form imaginable whether it be animals, other humanoid beings, or even inanimate objects— and gaining the abilities of whatever form he takes. The only limit is his own imagination.

PYROKINESIS: Loke is a God of Fire. He is able to control the elements of fire as he so see fit. He can summon flames to physically appear in his hands and around his body or use his sorroundings to control it at will. There is no limit to the amount of fire he can produce, nor how high he can turn up the temperature- if he wanted to, he could melt down buildings made out of rock, and metal. He could make a planet’s earth crumble under the heat. This also makes him invulnerable to fire, all types of fire.

RESSURECTION: Just as his fire may bring destruction and chaos and death, it can also bring warmth and life.  He is able to bring life to the recently deceased, and is thought to be one of the Gods who created the first humans (together with Höenir and Oden). 

INVISIBILITY: Loke, like his fellow Gods; is able to render himself unseen to the eye of other beings. A nice quirk benefitting Gods as they can shred themselves of physical flesh and roam as shapeless entities in any realm, or in mortal minds. He can remain unseen to mortal eyes for as long as he so desire, and only shows himself for those he wants to see him. However sharp-minded and attentive beings can possibly sense something is there, but not actually see him.

ILLUSIONS: Loke is able to fool his enemies who try to attack him with illusions of himself. He can also cast illusionary images inside mortal beings minds— fooling them by making them think what is not there, exists, as well as affect their senses while they're in that illusionary reality.

PROJECTION: Loke, like all other Gods, is able to be at multiple places at the same time, without loosing any attention or power. With many devoted to their Pantheon, there are many beings’ prayers to pay attention to.   

BIOGRAPHY

Loke is the son of the giants Farabute and Laufey, and brother to Byleist and Helblinde. By the Giantess Angrboða, Loke is the father of Hel (the Goddess of Death, and ruler of Helheimr), the Giant Wolf Fenrir, and the World Serpent Jörmungandr. By his wife Sigyn, Loke is the father of Narfi and Nari. By the stallion Svaðilfari, Loke is the mother—giving birth in the form of a mare—to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir.

Brought from the realm Jötunheimr by Oden, Loke was recruited to assist the Gods. Oden and Loke saw kinship in eachother as they both were equal in their cunning, wisdom. knowledge and trickery. They held great mutual respect for eachother, and enjoyed the other’s company enough to share their blood, therefore becoming blood-brothers.

“ Remember, Othin, | in olden days   That we both our blood have mixed;   Then didst thou promise | no ale to pour,   Unless it were brought for us both.”

Their relationship is a complicated story of trust and deciet and betrayal. They see eachother as friends, and brothers. Making a blood-pact oath to treat eachother as family. Oden and Loke are and were closer than any of the other Gods were in relation to the All-father, aside from Frigga, Oden’s wife, and his children. With time this trust was broken, both sides to blame — and their feud would come to bring upon the end of all the Realms. Ragnarök.

Loke’s relation with the Gods varies. Loke sometimes helps the Gods and sometimes causes problems for them. Loke is a powerful user of seidr, a shape shifter and a God of Fire and Madness and Chaos and Mischief. But he is also known as the God of Laughter and Mirth, Creativity and Change. Nothing with the Gods is black or white. They are all assholes and good people. Human and mortal logic and morals are not to be expected from them.

Loke’s positive relations with the Gods end with his role in, out of jealousy and resentment, engineering the death of the god Baldr, Oden’s son. He also appeared as a foe of the Gods, entering their banquet uninvited and demanding their drink. Loke is eventually bound by the Gods with the entrails of his sons, Narfi and Vali as punishment for killing the God of Light.

Depending on the timeline, Loke is loyal to Asgard and often ally with them— but, past complicated events that lead to Loke loosing trust in the Aesir, Loke flips the switch and grows hateful of the Aesir. He becomes so spiteful and vengeful he engineers Baldr’s death, and as punishment he is bound to to a rock where the venom of a snake is to drip onto Loke’s face forever, with his wife Sigyn keeping him company during his punishment. Eventually he escape from his bonds; more vengeful than ever. He wish to gain revenge upon those he feel have wronged him. With the Gods no longer countable, Loke takes the opposing side of the Aesir during Ragnarök; the End of All Worlds- he chose to oppose them alongside his children ( who also sought revenge for their mistreatment by the Aesir) and be responsible for their ruin.

After Ragnarök, Loke had ‘died’ during the war and was reincarnated, like the other deceased Gods. As the Worlds healed and became hospitable for life, Loke opted to lay low until things began moving in the Realms once more.  

Past Ragnarök he is no longer fueled with rage and a thirst for revenge. He is tired and avoids the Gods most of the time; having grown past their previous disputes, as it does not serve immortal dities well to hold an eternal grudge. He is still drawn to chaotic events and mischief; his charm and impish and playful attitude intact, but he is less likely to cause major trouble.

Primal Zodiac of the LU Links

So I was browsing through Tumblr when I found a link to Primal Astrology, in which it gives you a primal zodiac by combining your Chinese Zodiac (birth year) and your Zodiac constellation (birth month) signs, and I was fairly amused by how some parts were pretty accurate describing my personality. 

Me being rather obsessed with LU, I decided to look up the Primal Zodiac signs for each Link in the LU verse, based on their release date of their “timeline-wise” first adventure (eg: Four= Minish cap)

Some of the descriptions I found pretty close to what the fandom depicts each Link’s personality, and some I kinda disagree/ not certain about. 

Ones I agree for the most part:

Hyrule      February 21, 1986 -> Pisces + Tiger = Stingray “those born under the sign ... are adventurous, humanitarian, generous, sincere, rebellious, and emotionally fragile all at the same time. .... but stingrays are also deep thinkers, dreamers, and idealists. ..... While they may spend a great deal of time lingering in the background, they are not afraid to stand up for themselves, and can be a very formidable opponent.... love intense conversations and ideas that they can share with others... tend to play whatever role suits them best in different social situations... attracted to mysterious people, places, and things... relish the unusual and unexplained...”      (That’s how I see Hyrule for the most part)

Legend      November 21, 1991 -> Scorpio + Sheep = Panda “...tend to be popular but loners, want to go with the flow but have to feel in charge of their own destiny, long to relax but are always working on projects.... Those born under this sign are quiet, collected, and focused, but can become obsessive, overly critical, and anxious if left alone for too long. ... aren’t very social by nature, but still enjoy having like-minded friends around. ... may not seem their nature, they are deep down romantics...”      (while some may debate on the quiet part, I see that as him being quiet about himself, not sharing too much with others.)

Time      November 21, 1998 -> Scorpio + Tiger = Honey badger “Powerful, passionate, and resilient ... fierce competitors who are not afraid to go after what they want. .... fearless in their conquests and will not back down to anyone. ... Deep down Honey badgers want something to live fore beyond mere day to day survival. Survival is easy for them, finding their place in the world is not.  On the outside they come across as tough, mysterious, and unable to be broken, but inside they are actually quite fragile and complex. .... members of this sign are old souls who carry with them a deep wisdom that allows them to understand human nature. They inherently know what people want, which is why they are often so successful. ....spend a great deal of their time and energy pursuing their goals, and are almost always alone or leading a group. Those who do get to know them well discover that they are extremely loyal to their friends and actually have a surprisingly great (and shocking) sense of humor. When they relax they can be the surprise hit of the party.”     (The Old man in a nutshell, for the most part)     

Warriors      August 14, 2014 -> Leo + Horse = Hyena “members of this sign strongly prefer to spend time in large groups of friends and families. ... very strong-willed sign with the ability to follow through on their promises and take what is theirs when necessary. .... have an easy charm about them that draws other people in. ... great at taking charge of situations, and are by far most comfortable when they are in charge. .... main weakness of Hyenas is their tendency to be self-centered. .... are highly likable, and tend to only conflict with others who challenge their social leadership. Even in social groups where everyone is equal, Hyenas tend to become the de facto leaders of the group simply because of their ease and charm.”      (The Captain in a nutshell. ‘nough said.)

Wild       March 3, 2017 -> Pisces + Rooster = Ocelot “keep others at a distance. ... don’t really want confrontation.... (but) enjoy the company of others quite a bit. They sometimes isolate themselves because it is the easiest, and sometimes the only, way to fully harness their immense creative power. .... can get things done, but in their own unique, visionary style. They truly don’t need others to succeed, but can benefit quite a bit from connecting to people in the real world. ... like to be inspired by new surroundings and new adventures.”

    (I don’t completely agree with the keep others at a distance and they make a big front to do so, but one thing is that Wild’s personality can differ depending on the player’s play style, so I guess this may fit in some interpretations.)

Wind      December 13, 2002 -> Sagittarius + Horse = Dove “Independent, energetic, and adventurous, .... love life and long for new experiences. ... always looking forward; they rarely dwell on the past. ... often restless, which can lead them to take risks in life. .... seem lucky because they are so optimistic. Even when they are feeling down, those born under this sign always manage to get back on track. They believe that they can have whatever they want if they work hard for it, and they are almost always right. .... They have tons of energy and never want to stop moving, which ironically causes them to miss out on many of life’s more subtle experiences. .... they are spirited, independent and have a tendency to speak bluntly, but they also have big hearts, great senses of humor, and a unique philosophy about life.”     (he is a sailor and an explorer for new land, I do see Wind never wanting to stop moving)

Ones I’m not sure:

Sky

     November 18, 2011 -> Scorpio + Rabbit = Koala “Emotional, powerful, and intense, .... It’s not that they are putting up a false front, it’s that they are trying to keep their tornado of emotions safely inside themselves. .... can seem harmless from a distance, but can be quite defensive if provoked or approached without caution. .... A tendency of this sign is to use passive aggression and subtle manipulation to get what they want. While they try their hardest to be convincing, they can’t help but wear their emotions on their sleeves. ....  Koalas are deeply emotional, and on top of that they have a way of burying their feelings to keep them secret, even to themselves. ....  When in their element, these individuals are surprisingly sweet, loving, caring, and even funny.”     (I see Sky being sweet as his default emotion, that isn’t a surprising element of his personality. This description had a more negative connotation with the word “emotional”  than positive for me. But if you look at it in a different angle, he may harbor some passive aggression.)

Four

     November 4, 2004 -> Scorpio + Monkey = Raven 

“ Strong, curious, and energetic, ...  deepest desire is to overcome the odds, to triumph, and to prove themselves to the world. ....  difficult to pin down.  .... the Raven Spirit was considered a trickster - a sly and cunning individual who would often get what they wanted, or otherwise entertain themselves, through the intellectual manipulation of others. Powerful and unpredictable ....  highly developed senses of humor...  Loyal, gregarious, and funny, Ravens can be the life of the party or they can be self-absorbed, competitive, and negative. ... prefer to be big fish in a small pond, getting their fix of attention from those who know and understand them best.”

(Hmmm, Four is a difficult person to pin down his personality, he does have four separate ones if he wishes to use the ability of the Four Sword. Cunning, yes he is, but intellectual manipulation of others for his amusement? that sounds more like Shadow. Then again, Shadow did kinda come from Four...)

Twilight

     November 19, 2006 -> Scorpio + Dog = Octopus

“Loyal, ambitious, and intense, ... prefer to deal in facts rather than emotions. ... can be fairly anti-social. To be more specific, they tend to be uncomfortable in most social situations. ...  prefer time alone or with a couple of their closest friends with whom they share a great deal of the same ideals. ....  The mind ... is both complex and contradictory. They are part rebel but part people-pleaser. They have deep reserves of inner strength but become nervous and uncertain at the slightest glitch in the plan.They are passive while temperamental, honest while secretive, ....  internalize their negative feelings rather than expel them into the world, .... value loyalty, honor, and work ethic above all else. They often have difficulty creating their own happiness, mostly because they prioritize things like pride and power over peace and serenity. Always hardest on themselves... Socializing is not their strong suit,...”  

(Socializing not being his strong suit? Anti-social? I don’t see it. Twilight is very good with children. You need to be able to do socializing to have smaller children adore you, like how the Ordon children adores Twilight in the game. Not emotional? Twilight is pretty emotional, I mean look at his expressions in TP!)

Those are my opinions. What do you guys think? (you can click the underlined hyperlinks to see the full profile for each sign)

[tricksheart]

Akira’s favorite animal is not a cat like most people think. That’s his father’s. Akira takes more after his mom and loves rabbits. They are fuzzy, cute, don’t scratch, and hop around. That’s why he has a rabbit themed app in his phone during the game. The rabbits almost remind him of himself since his hair is so fluffy. More than a cat anyway. People besides himself make the comparison. If someone said, ‘sir, are you aware that you are a cat?’, Akira would be highly offended. Just like Morgana.

To be honest, Akira hates caramel candies. Actually, he hates any type of food that contains caramel. Doesn’t appeal to his tastes at all.

One of Akira’s favorite retro video games is Earthbound / Mother 2 ).  

What is Akira’s style when it comes to clothing?

Not a lot of thought is put into Akira’s causal clothes in the game itself, so his fashion sense is a little random at best. Even though he has bad luck stats in battle, he extremely lucky when picking out clothes that at first don’t seem to match but when he wears the full outfit, they oddly seem to work, without fail. He’s also the type to wear numerical themed t-shirts as seen in the pre-game events ( 1797 ) while he’s walking in his hometown.

What are some of Akira’s pet peeves?

Cluttered rooms. With in game events, he starts automatically cleaning the attic ( but to be honest, I think generally most people would anyway). And one of my many verses; where his mom ( Maya) is not the best in keeping the house clean and organized and his dad ( Katsuya ) is neat freak extreme, there are many instances where this could be learned. They do say children pick up habits from their parents. Needless to say, he chose to help clean instead of adding to clutter if we go by in game standards. Even if Morgana suggested Akira to do something to bide time while Futaba did her hacker thing, he could had done anything but chose to clean.

He’s also cross about false convictions because he was an example of said injustice. This drives him in the game to some extent. That and helping people and giving out second chances.

With his dad being Katsuya Suou, Akira is able to bake things. Since it was his dad’s dream to open up a bakery before changing professions because of the incident in the Suou home, he made his son help him bake when Akira was younger. ( his father still was still in his current profession though in Akira’s early years). His mother, Maya, is blessed with two bakers in the family.

He has to have some coping mechanism with all of the negativity that surrounds his life, school and mental health. There is a saying that laughter is the best medicine and he found out that memes makes the world feel less empty. Akira has always been a trickster though so he would had gravitated towards them eventually if he kept having a normal life. He just doesn’t find memes funny but jokes, pranks, the usual things that makes anyone laugh.

Akira had always hated how he got picked out of the students during the trip to the studio to answer the question thrown to the audience. He was trying to blend in as much as possible and not stick out. Being picked by the female announcer was the worse thing possible to happen to him since he didn’t have a great opinion on Akechi and did not want to be there in the first place. He just wanted to go home and not get caught up in anything. He still doesn’t like that female announcer for putting him on the spot and verbally boos when she is on the TV screen at LeBlanc or when he goes back home.

[vulpesse-arc]

in her ELDERWOOD VERSE, ahri is extremely MISCHIEVOUS and PLAYFUL    ──   she greatly enjoys to reveal her presence to the very few travelers that are lucky enough to step within the confines of her enchanted dominion, either with the purpose of frightening them or aiding them in their quest ( especially if their soul is bright and painted in beautiful colors ) . 

however, ahri is also an ANCIENT SOUL and thus is indeed extremely WISE !! albeit from far away, she has seen the world develop all around her, has seen the decay of wars and the blooming of new cultures, the death of rightful hearts and the rise of hideous tyrants   ─   despite her usually simpering and childishly naughty demeanor ( which has granted her the title of TRICKSTER amidst those who narrate her stories all across the lands ) , there is no end to the depth of her heart and feelings. SHE FEELS EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ALL AROUND HER, as if amplified and emphasized: she feels the unfortunate death of the creatures of the elderwood and weeps for them, she experiences the joy of birth and shivers when the trees become sick because of the dark magic that is slowly slithering past the confines of the woods. 

this is why understanding her is COMPLICATED   ─   Her heart is like a MOSAIC of many smaller hearts, each one with its own desires and its own fears. she can feel love as much as she can experience hatred and sorrow and this makes her an incredibly treacherous creature to encounter: beneath her genteel façade, deep shadows lurk.

Papa Wu

(For you anon!)

_________________

Wu kept a hand folded behind his back, walking along the path to his long time friends' home. It had been years since his last visit and he had the urge to visit them. Ray and Maya have always been great people and it grieved him that he waited so long. But he had recently acquired a small boy he was now raising, Morro. He was a very spirited and gifted boy indeed. A smile lifted his face as he throught of the child he now called son. Said son who got distracted by a dragon fly hovering near by.

"Don't run off son." He called after him and Morro who was no more than 7 years old nodded at his new father.

"I won't!" He called back, watching the insect fly around.

Wu smiled then stopped in front of the shop and frowned once he saw no-one there. Most of the armor and weapons Ray had made was gone as well. There was hardly anything left.

Wu frowned, alarm bells going off. He looked around keenly, making sure there was no threats outside before making his way to the back of the shop where their home was. He stopped by the door and placed his hand by the lock, his golden power sparking and creating a key. He turned it, opening the door slowly and peering into the room. It appeared to be in a sort of order.

There were pieces of metal stuck away in a corner and clothes peaking out from between the cushions of their couch. He walked in, Nin-Jō held defensively as he scanned the room he heard footsteps in the next and made his way there. Once he was in the room- prepared for an attack, he discovered that there was no-one there to attack him.

"Who 're you?" The young boy with spiky hair asked Wu, his eyes narrowed at him as who appears to be his sister ate the last of what appears to be dried apricots.

"I..." Wu found himself at a loss for words.

These children. They looked so much like Maya and Ray. There was no doubt in his mind.

"Papa?" Wu turned around to see Morro walk up to him. "What are you doing?" He asked him, holding onto his hand like he always does when he felt unsure or frightened.

"Who's he?" The young girl asked, tilting her head at Morro.

"He is my son." Wu explained to her. "Your mother and father were friends of mine. Have you seen them?" He asked both children quietly, having a strong feeling he wouldn't like the answer.

The young girl's eyes filled with tears that quickly fell down her cheeks and so did the boy's. He however tried to keep a brave face.

"Mom n' dad left with people 'long time ago. They aren't coming back." He says as tears rolled down his freckled cheeks despite his fighting it.

Wu's heart shattered. What has happened to his friends? More importantly, how long have these two been on their own?

"Papa... Are you going to take them in too?" Morro asked, looking up at him with large deep green eyes.

"Yes." Wu says then walked over to the two and knelt before them. "I will do my best to find your parents but until then, would you like to live with me and my son? We would take care of you from now on." He offered the small children.

"My papa can teach you how to fight!" Morro added, excited to have company his age.

Both siblings looked at each other before nodding. He was friends with their father after all and he said he would try and find them. They walked over into Wu's opened arms while Morro bounced on his heels excitedly. He had friends!

_________

Morro decided having friends wasn't as fun when his papa made him take naps with them. He was a big kid! He didn't need naps or sippy cups (even though he asked for it) or bedtimes! They were lucky they were fun to play with! Right now, he and Kai were sword fighting with the wooden canes, grinning as they ran around the training yard.

"Be careful not to hurt your brother Morro." Wu says as Nya napped on his shoulder.

He's only had them for a year but he knew he would do anything for them. Sadly, he hasn't been able to find out what happened to their parents or who took them but in their honour, he would take care of their children.

"Ok papa!" Morro called out, as he chased down Kai who was laughing madly as he ran away.

"I am the master samurai! You cannot defeat me!" Kai yelled, running still.

"I can't if you keep running so fast!" Morro panted out, getting tired.

"That's the point!" Kai laughed and Morro growled, growing frustrated.

"Stop!" He yelled at Kai, reaching out for him.

There was a moment of shock when a strong gust of wind, swept Kai off his feet and up in the air. He fell with a thud, face first and Wu felt his heart leap out of his chest as he tugged over to the now crying boy, waking Nya on the way.

"Kai." He says, lifting him up with one hand and his eyes widened at the blood starting to run down the right side of his eye.

"Wha- wha happen to Kai?" Nay asked, her eyes welling up with tears.

"I'm sorry Papa! I didn't mean to!" Morro hiccuped and Wu took calming breaths as all three of them cried.

"Don't worry. Kai will be ok. Let's go inside to clean him up." Wu says as Morro walked in behind him, rubbing his eyes as he sobbed still.

_____________

After that day, Kai had a scar cut into his eyebrow that Morro felt guilty about every time. He also discovered he had control over the wind and while Kai and Nya found it infinitely cool, Morro was always wary of it. He could hurt someone again. He was happy to train his papa to control it better but only when Nya and Kai were safely out of range. He wouldn't use it when they trained together too.

"Where're you going pops?" Kai asked as he watched Morro and Nya spar, waiting for one of them to lose so he could spar with them.

They were all teenagers now with Morro being the eldest at 16, Kai being 15 and Nya at 13.

"I'm going to find allies. New friends even. Then a new chapter to your training will begin." He told them, slipping his rice hat on.

"Does this have to do with the prophecy of your brother papa?" Nya asked as they all turned to him.

"Yes. I fear my brother is taking action." Wu spoke quietly and they all shared a worried look. "Worry not. We won't let him succeed." He says and all three siblings grinned.

"Heck no we won't!" Kai whooped and Wu chuckled.

"I will be back soon. Nya, you're in charge." Wu says, heading towards the gate.

"Nya?" Both Kai and Morro sputtered as Nya smirked.

"Do not deny it. She's the most levelheaded of all of you." He says, opening the gates and they made to protest then pause.

"Don't worry papa! I'll keep this place in one piece!" She called out and Wu smiled back at them before closing the gates behind himself.

"I don't know about you two but I've been eyeing the cookie jar all day." Nya says, running inside and Kai and Morro looked at each other.

"Well if you're taking I want one too!" Kai yelled, running after her.

"I'm the oldest so I should get two!" Morro yelled, following behind.

___________

"You guys know your dad is crazy to think I can get through this entire course while he drinks that itty bitty cup of tea... Right?" Cole says after Sensei Wu went inside.

"Pops wouldn't give us a task he didn't think we could handle." Kai says as he cracked his knuckles, about to give it a shot.

He, Nya and Morro were used to the course but not at the speed that their father was requesting.

"You can do it bro!" Nya cheered and Kai grinned at her and a smirking Morro before darting ahead.

He jumped, kicked, flipped and twisted his way through but knew once he made it to the end that he was too slow.

"Dammit. Too slow." Kai sighed, walking past Cole who was watching him in shock.

"All you need is practise brother." Morro says, patting his shoulder.

'There's no hope for me.' Cole thought, looking at the course miserably.

____________

"You are all well versed in the course." Zane complimented, watching Nya run through next. "How long have you a been living with Sensei Wu?" He asked them.

"10 years. Nya and Kai have been with him for 9." Morro told him, watching Nya almost trip tersely.

"So you truly are adopted?" He questions.

"Yes. We were." Morro says, distractedly.

He relaxed once she cleared the course.

"Faster!" She yelled in outrage and Morro chuckled.

Zane watched them curiously.

They may as well be blood siblings.

___________

"Um- hi..." Jay says nervously as Nya drank some water after struggling through the training course.

"No." Morro says flatly and Jay yelped once he was blown back, rolling to a stop at Zane and Cole's feet.

"Try anything with our sister and I'll break your face." Kai says with a growl, standing before her protectively.

"Guys, please." Nya says and Jay looked hopeful as he stood. "I can break his face on my own if I need to thank you very much." She huffed and Jay's smile fell and broke.

"You're right sis." Morro smirked, wrapping an arm around her neck.

__________________

"Kai, master of fire. It burns bright in you." He says, tapping his son, the red ninja on his shoulder with his staff. "Jay is blue, master of lightning." He says, doing the same for the blue ninja.

"That's not all I'm the master of." Jay says from behind his mask. "I do a little inventing, dabble in model building, a touch of cooking, a little poetry-"

"More like mouth of lightning." Cole says with an exasperated sigh.

"Black ninja is Cole who summons rock, master of Earth." Wu says, tapping his shoulder with his staff. "White ninja is Zane, master of ice." Master Wu says, tapping his shoulder with the staff as well. "And seer with sixth sense." He added and Zane bows.

"You 4 are the chosen ones who will protect the five weapons of spinjitzu from Lord Garmadon." Wu says and while Zane, Cole and Jay seemed happy about that, Kai couldn't imagine being some chosen one without his brother and sister by his side.

Wu turned to a disappointed Morro and Nya before using hus Spinjitzu again to change their clothes.

"Emerald ninja is Morro, master of wind. A trickster but loyal, an ally." He says and Morro bowed with a smirk on his face, a glaive in hand.

"Maroon ninja is Nya, master of water. You will be able to control as small as a single drop to as large as the sea." He told her and she grinned proudly, twirling her sais.

She hadn't unlocked her powers like Morro did but she was getting there.

"They will be your support but no less apart of the team. Each and every one of you are intune with elemental properties." He told them all, awing them. "Come! It is time! We must find the first weapon." Wu says then tapped his staff against the ground.

"Woah, hold on a minute. You said you were going to teach us spinjitzu." Cole says, stepping forward.

"Yeah pops, I'm certainly not doing any spinjitzu over here." Kai says with a frown.

"Spinjitzu is already inside each and every one of you. The door will only be unlocked when the key is ready to be found." Wu says and they all looked at him. "Come! My feet are tired. We will take the horse carriage." He says, turning back into the monastery.

_________________

"I won't lie, I'm a little jealous you guys get epic golden weapons and we don't." Nya says, lifting an orb of soda from her bottle without taking her hands off of the controls.

"Eh, they're pretty cool." Kai shrugged, keeping his eyes on the screen.

"What I'm jealous about is that they get dragons. Dragons!" Morro emphasized then stole the orb of soda, using his wind and slurped it down.

"We're the ones who should be jealous. You guys actually have powers." Cole huffed, grabbing a slice of pizza.

"If we have em, I bet you guys do too." Morro shrugged, decimating all the enemy players.

"Huh?" "What?" "Aw man!" "Papa!" "Pops!" All 6 ninja exclaimed once the television was suddenly turned off.

"Just because Lord Garmadon escaped through a vortex doesn't mean that he won't return one day for the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu!" He snapped at them, irritated as they lazed around- even his three children who knew better!

"But Sensei-"

"No buts Zane. I did not come to argue. Lord Garmadon has returned and was spotted approaching Jamanakai Village." He told them and they all flared up in panic.

Just like that, the six of them struggled to prepare for the mission, their weapons spread all over as they fell over each other. They managed to grab them then rush out to the dragon stables to mount their dragons. Nya rode with Kai while Morro rode with Jay for the sole purpose of intimidating him not to flirt with his sister. Jay gave a nervous yet terrified laugh before they all took air after some fumbling.

Despite it all, they were all eager to fight Garmadon again.

____________

They didn't get Lord Garmadon, rather Lloyd Garmadon, his son. Kai, Nya and Morro would blame how they treated Lloyd on both their irritation and their inability to look past their personal feelings. But when Lloyd began releasing the serpentine, they all agreed on one thing: it was their fault. So when they finally cornered Lloyd on the roof of Darkly's, the first thing they did was apologize, confusing the poor boy.

He did eventually warm up to them since anytime the other ninja tried to call him a brat or a variant of such, they were met by three powerful forces of protection. Lloyd wasn't used to being defended- or even protected- but he grew used to it quickly.

Especially when they snuck him candy and comics.

Kai was the one who showed him cool ninja moves, Nya eas the one making sure he was always fed (and always had some form of sweets to offer, even if it's the healthier kind when he's had too much) and Morro would always read comics and play video games with him.

To Nya, Morro and Kai, he was the little brother they didn't know they needed.

"Guess who's dropping in on Mega Monster Amusement Park today?" Nya says on she popped her head in to see Lloyd busy playing a video game against Kai while Morro tutored him on how to defeat Kai.

"Papa wouldn't let us just drop in out of nowhere with Serpentine causing a menace." Morro pointed out as Kai let Lloyd win.

"No. Not unless there's serpentine on the loose." Nya grinned then placed her hand on her hip. "We should have enough time for a ride or two after we kick serpentine butt..." She pointed out and Lloyd beamed.

"Can we?! Can we please?!" He asked eagerly.

"I don't see why not." Kai says with a smirk, setting his controller aside.

"To the mechs?" Morro questioned Nya.

"To the mechs." She grinned.

________________

Part 2

________________

(So! First things first: Nya and Morro automatically believe that one of the og4 will be the green ninja so thry don't even get their hopes up. Also, there is zero hesitation from Kai to save Lloyd in the volcano. Whole everyone else is fighting over thr title, Nya and Morro are building mechs since they don't have fancy golden weapons that double as vehicles. Nya is way better at it than he is though. He specialises in vehicles. I swear these fics feel so short and it's maddening. I hope you guys like it anyway!)

Serendipity Shaman (Shaman Archetype)

 For many, life is either a struggle to follow or to defy destiny. To others, destiny is just a way to attribute false importance to random chance or the manipulations of the powerful.

Regardless of how one views it, even the most cynical hope for a bit of luck in the most dire straits. Today’s subject focuses on those shamans that tap into the concept of luck.

These serendipity shamans might be calling upon spirits that are specifically associated with luck, or they might simply be asking other spirits to subtly bend things in their favor, but either way there is no denying that success is more likely for their allies, and harder for their enemies.

This tradition is so strongly associated with the lucky that the only ones that can take it are those who either have a racial association with luck (literally just catfolk and halflings, since they’re the only races with racial traits with “luck” in the name) or those that are particularly blessed with luck (namely the human racial feat Defiant Luck), the natural luck of these individuals attracting the attention of spirits to learn this art.

 Rather than the normal spells granted by their primary spirit type, these shamans are indeed blessed with the spells commonly associated with the cleric domain of luck, adding a variety of protections and buffs to their arsenal.

From there, these shamans gain access to a variety of new hexes they can take, both as permanent hexes or as temporary wandering hexes, such as the ability to channel energy and luck, either blessing allies with a brief flash of good fortune while healing them, or curse foes with bad luck even as their life is sapped.

Tapping into a reserve of luck, many can warp reality, potentially turning bad luck into good luck.

Conversely, they can also channel bad luck, particularly when it comes to resisting their other magic, making foes more vulnerable to their spells.

Another hex upgrades their primary spirit to also grant access to the normal spells it would ordinarily grant.

Finally, another option they have is to subtly tweak fate around allies to be slightly more favorable. This differs from various other aids in that it can turn attacks into potentially critical wounds, something that most buffing magic cannot do (This is because this ability makes the dice roll itself count as higher than normal, rather than just add the bonus to the final result. However, while an attack roll bolstered by this ability can become a crit chance, it cannot become an auto-hit, even if the dice technically counts as a natural 20 due to this ability,)

Do you really like granting rerolls and buffs, while debuffing foes? Do you enjoy the aesthetic of a mystical weaver of fates? This archetype may be what you’re looking for. You’ll have plenty of defensive and offensive buffs in your arsenal, so pick your spirits with that in mind, either doubling down or diversifying into the vast array of abilities in the shaman playbook.

 The sort of spirits that these mystics call upon is pretty interesting, I would imagine. Some may be beings of good fortune, while others might be trickster spirits, spinning tales of their incredible good fortune and the misfortune they grant to fools and villains.

  Seeing a black dog cross your path is considered bad luck. Seeing a hellhound, however, is considerably worse. After sightings of a fiery dog are reported, the party are hired by the superstitious locals not to face the beast, but to contact and escort a local shaman, one versed in the ways of luck, to help deal with it. Little do the townsfolk know exactly how much bad luck this dog brings.

 Having become fixated on the idea of good fortune, Vinassa the nagaji deeply desires to become a serendipity shaman, calling on the spirits of luck to bring fortune to her people. However, the nagaji race are not associated with luck to the extent that such spirits answer. So, she prepares for a journey, to find a land where serpents are considered symbols of wealth and fortune, where she hopes one will answer her call.
