{oscar isaac; cisgender male; he/him} hey isn’t that ALARICO DE LEON ? the FORTY-THREE year old IYAMAN (umbrakinesis & necrokinesis) is known to be CHARMING and AMBITIOUS. they have been in BOULDER CITY for SIX MONTHS and always remind me of the closing notes to a slow song, the first runner to finish a marathon, ice melting in a glass of whisky, and the destruction of priceless art. will they still believe what they’ve been told all their life? 

Occupation: Medical Examiner Iyaman Name: Stroz’iek Vran

Relationships:

Delphine (former (?)  spouse)

Mirana (niece)

Ezel (former (?) follower)

Abilities: Umbrakinesis & Necrokinesis (as well as the other Iyaman abilities) Sexuality: Pansexual Relationship Status: It’s complicated 

[ THE PAST ]

He grew up with a family who were dedicated to the ruling democracy, and yet -- their dedication did not extend to their family. It would have been different had his abilities not manifested the way they did. His sister had the ability to manipulate and summon solar light and heat. He grew up idolizing his older sister and couldn’t wait to see what he could do... so perhaps it wasn’t strange that he had umbrakinesis. He would have been a good guard for the ruling democracy -- and yet...

Within Iyaman society, the dead were treated with the upmost respect. They had elaborate burials and funeral practices -- the dead were mourned deeply and greatly respected. So, when he began to pull the spirits of the dead back to their bodies, later able to force a soul into a form that wasn’t theirs naturally. 

His family were aghast, disgusted and they became focused on no one finding out what his second ability was. It didn’t help that they started to ostracize him,  putting his sister to the forefront. His idolization turned to bitterness, as even she asked him to please not show what he could do. 

Had this been it, perhaps he wouldn’t have been ... what he became. Yet, when the easiest conversations are with the dead, the things he learned were horrific - family secrets spilled from the lips of the deceased, the power struggles among the elite, children that were never wanted, marriages that split at the seams and were nothing like they were thought to be -- he lost all hope in people, and when he lost hope in people, he began to see them as puppets to be used -- just like the dead. 

It didn’t matter if he had to sacrifice family or his greatest love. It didn’t matter what he had to do -- as long as he was going to change his world, he had to be prepared to lose what he loved about it. 

[ THE PRESENT ]

He remembers everything about his life prior to getting in a stasis pod and follow after those who tried to escape him. He remembers what he did and why he did it. He was never going to stay behind -- no, he may have been plotting the death of many who had fled, but he expected that they would stay and become part of his army. The fact that they thought he could escape him -- no. That would never do. 

Yet, while many of those in their pods awoke earlier, he didn’t wake up until six months ago -- at least, that’s the story he would share. He’s been in Boulder City for six months, and prior to that, he’s been building a life for himself, using his charm to get what he wanted. Exactly how long he has been awake is up for debate, as he is good at hiding himself and his true thoughts. 

He does not reveal that he is an Iyaman to others in Boulder City. He plays the skeptic well, sometimes going out of his way to cover-up their existence. After all, he could pretend that he was a kind and benevolent person while he works on how he can get these lost lambs back home to await their sentencing. 

[ PERSONALITY ]

He does his best to get along with others, working hard at his work, being an upstanding member in society and involved within the community. People will often see him frequenting the different entertainments in town, eating at the diners and restaurant, going as far as to join a bowling team. He has joined the town council, works on behalf of the town and yet -- somehow, he knows things that he shouldn’t - as if there is something (or someone) continually whispering in his ear. He continues to use both abilities to further his own ends.

ship biases.

under the cut are some ships + ship dynamics that i feel would be the most compatible with how i write josephine.  please note: 1. this list isn’t exhaustive; 2. ships must always have chemistry; 3. the portrayals must align; and 4. just because a character is on this list, doesn’t mean i am looking to auto-ship with a portrayal. i don’t force-ship, and josephine is a friendly lady. platonic ships make me happy, too.

anything not listed can be assumed as a ‘maybe, let’s see!’ so, if you don’t see your muse on here, but are interested, shoot your shot.~

** i am not including l*liana/josie or bl*ckwall/josie on this list, because the two people i write those ships with are exclusives for me -- which means i’m not interested in exploring those ships outside of my current two writing partners. ♥

welcome to vae’s world, where she exposes herself for her impeccable taste.

j*sephine x ad*ar -- two things you should know about me: i am an ad*ar main when i play inquisition, and josie is always my default romance. naturally, this dynamic is going to be on this list.  i really love the q*nari.  i love their lore, and i reject biohazard’s truly weird racist talking points about them.  i really, really love ad*ar.  they are my favorite inquisitor; i love their origin story; and i love the depth they bring to the position of inquisitor.  gonna be honest, my simple gay brain also just goes: ad*ar tall. josie small. height difference. they do the spin. it’s CUTE. furthermore, i want to explore what it means for a human and a q*nari to date, the complexities of navigating the social stigma. i’m gay, you know? i know stigma in real life about who i date. now i wanna write fantasy relationships about it to cope. 😤

j*sephine x tr*velyan -- it’s the noble x noble for me. i just think they’re neat, and i love to see all the unique ways that human inq rpers spin their trevs.  i love the idea of nobility from one country romancing nobility from another.  there’s different customs to explore, and then there’s the drama of ‘where do we settle?’ when both of them have established homes in different (but neighboring) countries.

j*sephine x lav*llan -- from the second, lav*llan walks into josie’s office, she is ready to go to bat for them, and we love that.  i think they complement one another well, in that josie is a human who recognizes the innate prejudices she has as a human toward elves and is attempting to unlearn them. she is extremely interested in lav*llan’s culture and would very excitably culture-share with them. culture-sharing is my kink, okay? it is wholesome, and she would just (chinhands) for hours while lav*llan talked about their people, customs, and ways of life. 

j*sephine x c*ssandra -- this ship is pretty fresh on my radar. i have never written it, but i see art of it, and it makes my eyes go ZOOM.  i am sucker for lady x knight dynamics, and cass is such an honest-to-gods badass queen that i cannot think of a more perfect knight?  never mind that they are both women, your honor.  they’re also both NOBLES. they check so many boxes for me.  i would love to explore this one someone!

j*sephine x warriors -- hit me with your big, strong warriors. josie is a lady, and ladies like josie love to watch muscular people swing giant weapons around/hit stuff. lady x knight, remember? big fan.

j*sephine x rogues -- lest we forget: she was one!  she has forgotten a lot of the tricks of the trade, but maybe she remembers more than her rogue partners think. who’s to say? gimme those.

j*sephine x mages -- josie said MAGE RIGHTS and don’t you forget it. let her love your mages. she will be mystified and humbled by their magical abilities and comment how cool they look doing them.

now for the ships that i haven’t really done but who make my brain go HMM: josie/z*vran, josie/h*ro of f*relden, josie/is*bela, josie/h*wke, josie/b*thany.

also for consideration: josie/an antivan crow, josie/people beneath her station, josie/other nobles, josie/arranged marriage or betrothal.

now for ships that i kindly say ‘no thanks’ to.

josie/people under the age of 25. josie/c*lene or anyone who is in a position of power over her to that same degree. josie/anti-mage people. josie/racists (whether that is the human kind or the non-human kind).

Mythologically, he came, as, according to Celtic ideas, all things came originally, from the underworld. His father is called Uther Pendragon. 1 But Uther Pendragon is (for the word "dragon" is not part of the name, but a title signifying "war-leader") Uther Ben, that is, Brân, under his name of the "Wonderful Head", 2 so that, in spite of the legend which describes p. 331 [paragraph continues] Arthur as having disinterred Brân's head on Tower Hill, where it watched against invasion, because he thought it beneath his dignity to keep Britain in any other way than by valour, 1 we must recognize the King of Hades as his father. This being so, it would only be natural that he should take a wife from the same eternal country, and we need not be surprised to find in Gwynhwyvar's father, Ogyrvran, a personage corresponding in all respects to the Celtic conception of the ruler of the underworld. He was of gigantic size; 2 he was the owner of a cauldron out of which three Muses had been born; 3 and he was the patron of the bards, 4 who deemed him to have been the originator of their art. More than this, his very name, analysed into its original ocur vran, means the evil bran, or raven, the bird of death. 5 But Welsh tradition credits Arthur with three wives, each of them called Gwynhwyvar. This peculiar arrangement is probably due to the Celtic love of triads; and one may compare them with the three Etains who pass through the mythico-heroic story of Eochaid Airem, Etain, and Mider. Of these three Gwynhwyvars, 6 besides the Gwynhwyvar, daughter of Ogyrvran, one was the daughter of Gwyrd Gwent, of whom we know nothing but the name, and the other of Gwyrthur ap Greidawl, p. 332 the same "Victor son of Scorcher" with whom Gwyn son of Nudd, fought, in earlier myth, perpetual battle for the possession of Creudylad, daughter of the sky-god Lludd. This same eternal strife between the powers of light and darkness for the possession of a symbolical damsel is waged again in the Arthurian cycle; but it is no longer for Creudylad that Gwyn contends, but for Gwynhwyvar, and no longer with Gwyrthur, but with Arthur. It would seem to have been a Cornish form of the myth; for the dark god is called "Melwas", and not "Gwynwas", or "Gwyn", his name in Welsh. 1 Melwas lay in ambush for a whole year, and finally succeeded in carrying off Gwynhwyvar to his palace in Avilion. But Arthur pursued, and besieged that stronghold, just as Eochaid Airem had, in the Gaelic version of the universal story, mined and sapped at Mider's sídh of Bri Leith. 2 Mythology, as well as history, repeats itself; and Melwas was obliged to restore Gwynhwyvar to her rightful lord.
