"Let me help you…"
Total words: 1471
Ragnar is a ghoul of the earth element. Some ghouls, no matter how hard the Ministry tried, could not be tamed in the way necessary for the Clergy and its members. Ragnar became one of these wild ghouls. Among his relatives, he was the largest and most aggressive, and his aggressive behavior was clearly noticeable in relation to the brothers of Sin, on whose shoulders in those years lay the taming of ghouls for the High Clergy. It was because of his fighting behavior that the ghoul got his name - Ragnar.
Ragnar was caught by the Clergy when he was still a cub, and even though he lived in a lair of the same ghouls, he did not want to be tamed and tried to escape at every opportunity, but every attempt was unsuccessful. As he grew older, he became more aggressive and rebellious, making him a huge problem for the Brothers of Sin. This was reported to Emeritus Mama 0, who gave the order to put Ragnar in enchanted chains and keep him on a leash, without the opportunity to go outside during the hunting season, as other ghouls were allowed to do. From that time on, the ghoul was treated very poorly: the Brothers of Sin beat him, threatened him and starved him. Knowing that Emeritus Mama will not go down to the lair and see all this.
When Piper turned 16, she had long been prepared for the fact that after her mother, she would become the Emeritus Mama. She was told about ghouls as evil and wild creatures that undergo training and then serve those to whom they are assigned. She had seen her mother's ghouls, but she never knew which ones she would get. Teenage curiosity took over, and she asked one of the brothers of Sin to take her to the lair and show her the cubs that were being prepared for her. Then she saw them, still in their true animal form. Due to the different elements, they were different from each other, which could not be said when they turned into human form. They were small and obedient, and almost immediately began to fawn over Piper when they sniffed her and allowed her to touch them. But in these games she heard the clanking of chains, which could not help but attract her attention. She was taken to Ragnar, showing the source of these sounds. Huge, but frightened by the flame of the lantern, the ghoul huddled in a corner, bristled and growled at the man holding the lantern. The next thing Piper noticed was the scars on the ghoul's skin. His eye was scratched and part of his nose was missing, exposing the inside of it. The Brother of Sin immediately made it known that he received the scars from another huge ghoul, and the missing piece of his nose was the protection of some members of the Clergy when the ghoul tried to escape.
The next night, wanting to get to know the ghoul better, she goes down into the lair, getting too close to the cage. She brought the lantern closer to the bars, leaning forward slightly, which was her huge mistake - frightened by the fire, Ragnar towered over the teenager and scratched her cheek with his claws, leaving her with deep scars. When Piper's mother found out about this, she gave the command to kill the ghoul, without even listening to her daughter's requests not to touch him and give her one more try to tame him. Only the father listened to his daughter and gave the order not to do anything, but set a condition - one more attempt to escape or a wound on Piper’s body, Ragnar would be killed and this would be the last decision.
Another night she came again, but without going too close to the cage. As Ragnar approached the bars again, accompanied by a growl and the sound of chains, Piper pointedly moved the lantern further away from the cage and herself, reassuring the creature that she meant him no harm and that she was not angry at him for yesterday's incident. Ragnar sat opposite her, folding his ears and occasionally moving his left paw. Piper saw a completely new burn and tried to clean his wound the next night, easing his pain. Surprisingly, Ragnar allowed her to help him and himself, although he was afraid, extended his paw through the bars. So she came to him every night, trying to talk to him in order to earn his trust at least a little. Seeing that the ghoul did not do anything to Piper, the father kept his word in force and did nothing for now, although the mother tried to discourage her from this creature, forcing her daughter to take more lessons and better prepare for joining the title of Cardinal, and then Emeritus Mama .
A few days later, news spread throughout the Ministry - Ragnar killed one of the brothers of Sin when he entered his cell. Not daring to endure any longer, Emeritus Mama 0 gave the order to execute Ragnar that same night. When this news reached Piper, she immediately decided to keep the ghoul alive. Knowing that neither her father nor her mother would listen to her, at night she crept into the lair and, at her own peril and risk, entered Ragnar’s cage. He didn't growl or lunge at her, even when she got too close, loosening his chains with the key she stole from her father's desk. Hearing voices, she ran out of the cage, closing it. Ragnar was able to escape when the cage was reopened. By that time, Piper had run out of the lair through the second exit, running towards the forest, knowing full well that the ghoul would run there.
Running through the forest, she did not shout his name, knowing that members of the Clergy would come running at her voice, so she had to focus on the traces that Ragnar left. It took her about half an hour to finally find the ghoul in the darkness through which she ran in search of him. At this time, the Ministry was already sounding the alarm that the eldest daughter had also disappeared with the ghoul. The concerned father gave the order to kill the ghoul in any case, especially if he kills his daughter.
When Piper found Ragnar, standing a few meters away from him, she saw no malice in his gaze.
She saw only sadness.
Standing on his hind legs, he towered over her in his true form; it was the first time she had seen such a huge ghoul, whose height exceeded 280 cm. He was as tall as a brown bear, which frightened her, causing her heart to drown out any sounds that reached her ears. Casting aside fear, she took steps to meet him, and when he came too close, he crouched down so that he was approximately the same height as her. Gently touching his thick fur, she even touched those areas that were scorched by fire. He growled quietly. Coming closer, she placed her palm on his muzzle, letting him smell her again, trying to show that she was not his enemy. Even when she ran after him through the forest, she deliberately did not take a lantern with her. She knew it would be difficult to escape, but it would not scare away the already frightened ghoul. Looking at his face, she realized that these protruding claws, fangs, and burning eyes did not frighten her. And he was surprised that she was not afraid of him, because before, those who did not feed him, but simply walked past his cage, ran away in fear when he came closer to the bars. Pie tried to tell him that she wanted to help, hide him somewhere in the forest and take care of him so that none of the Clergy would find him. He listened to her, but did not understand. Knew she wanted to help, but didn't understand. For him, these sensations were the first time, she did not chase him, did not hit him, did not scare him with fire, did not run away. She stood nearby, close, holding his huge clawed paw and spoke calmly, without shouting at him. Hearing her name called, she tried to encourage Ragnar to run, he did not do this, only looked at her in surprise. When they were found by armed members of the Clergy, she screamed not to touch him. Ragnar did not run away from her, on the contrary, he ran across so as to cover her with himself and protect her. He began to growl at those who came running, seeing either fire or weapons in their hands. Ragnar had been out of freedom for a long time, so the number of people and bullets got the best of him, especially because he was protecting Piper, as he thought. If he didn't have to protect her, he would run away. He died because he was protecting her. When he fell to the ground, Piper immediately ran to him, falling next to him, and asked him to help him. People didn’t listen to her, her mother told her that she had to leave him, he was no longer a tenant. Ragnar died, and after that Pie hated those who killed him and especially her mother.
When they returned to the Ministry, Pie immediately made it clear that she would take care of her ghouls herself, contrary to her mother's orders and rules. When Pai was awarded the title of cardinal at the age of 19, she immediately issued a decree that under any circumstances, no matter what happens, you will have to educate and educate ghouls, who will then themselves serve you. So that they immediately get used to you, learn, see how the person they serve treats them. And also so that situations like the one that happened with Ragnar will never happen again. If, after all, there were ghouls who grew up the way Ragnar was - intimidated, beaten, and so on, then she dealt with this ghoul and gave him a different role. By accepting the title of Emeritus Mama, she only strengthened these rules and decrees in relation to ghouls.
With the title of Emeritus Mama I, Piper will see a baby ghoul that looks like little Ragnar and name the baby after him. She loves all her ghouls and even after leaving her position as Emeritus Mama, she will work with ghouls in her free time.
About Piper’s appearance, her references, etc., I’ll do it and post it later. Also, when I have more free time, I'll try to do more posts with Emeritus Papa's and ghouls! English is not my native language. I could have made mistakes! Thanks for reading!

A Love So Beautiful
Language: Mandarin Chinese

Chen Xiao Xi and Jiang Chen are high school friends and neighbors who grew up together. Xiao Xi is happy-go-lucky and doesn’t like to study much but she has a talent for drawing. Jiang Chen is popular for his good looks and high grades, but is cold and indifferent to other people.
Their friends include swimmer Wu Bo Song, who will do anything for XiaoXi, the dorky and over-confident gamer Lu Yang, and Lin Jing Xiao, the most beautiful girl in school (who Lu Yang is hopelessly in love with).
How will the realities of life shape the friendships and love lives of these young adults?

Abyss (Netflix Original)
Language: Korean
Abyss is a spherical orb that has the power to raise the dead- with a kick: If you were a good person, you are resurrected younger and more attractive. If you were a bad person, your body could change into any form (generally you are at least decades older).

He finds an old man dead in the road and uses it to save him- unwittingly resurrecting a violent serial killer on his way to murder Cha Min’s best friend and lifelong crush, Criminal Prosecutor Se Yeon.
Cha Min resurrects the vain and petty Se Yeon (who returns to a body identical to her professional rival) and together they must hunt down the murderer- whatever his new face may be.

Because This is My First Life

Yoon Ji-Ho is a single woman in her early 30's. An assistant drama writer, she has lofty dreams and barely two pennies to rub together. The home she and her brother live in is cramped and small- doubly so once she finds out her brother has been living with a wife he never told her about. Ji-Ho is forced out of her home and- due to her financial situation- moves in with a “young woman” she’s only met via text- Nam Se-Hee.
Events unfold that will force Ji-Ho and Se-Hee into a corner from which they can only find one way out:: Enter into a strictly contracted marriage, absent love, romance, or sex, and keep up their ruse around family and friends for a period of two years.
But as time goes on, the cold and robotic Se-Hee and hopeless Ji-Ho begin to develop feelings for one another beyond that of a Landlord and a Tenant. It is only too easy for them to slip into the roles of Husband and Wife.
**Trigger Warning: On-Camera attempted rape, numerous instances of sexual harassment and non-rape assault (ie, groping)**

Handsome Siblings (2020 Netflix Edition)
Language: Mandarin Chinese
Hua Wuque is a pillar of righteousness and virtue, the only male disciple of the powerful Yihua Palace cultivation clan. An orphan, he was taken in by the clan leader and her sister and raised with only one goal in life: to find and kill Jiang Xiaoyu, a mighty villain and enemy of Yihua Palace.
So who is Jiang Xiaoyu? Also known as Xiaoyu’er, Jiang Xiaoyu is an orphan himself- the same age as Hua Wuque in fact- raised by the five most feared and hated villains in the world within the confines of the Wicked Canyon. Into Jiang Xiaoyu the villains poured their knowledge, tricks, and ruthlessness, seeking to create the ultimate villain. There is only one problem: As he was raised in the Wicked Canyon and surrounded by nothing but villains, Jiang Xiaoyu mostly uses his abilities to… harm villains and protect the weak.
When Jiang Xiaoyu comes of age and leaves the Wicked Canyon (or rather, becomes too much of a trickster for the villains to handle anymore), Hua Wuque is unleashed to venture from Yihua Palace and hunt down his enemy.
But how could someone kept confined in the Wicked Canyon for the first 18 years of his life be a threat to Yihua Palace? And why must Hua Wuque be the one to kill him (under direction that Jiang Xiaoyu cannot die naturally, be killed by someone else, or kill himself)?
There is a piece of the story Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque do not know: they are orphans of the same tragedy, in which the divine hero Jiang Feng spurned the love of both leaders of Yihua Palace for a beautiful servant named Hua Yuenu. Hua Yuenu was forced to commit suicide and Jiang Feng killed himself rather than submit to the Ladies of Yihua–
Leaving behind newborn (non-identical) twin sons.
Yihua Palace’s plot is a simple (if OTT) act of vengeance against Jiang Feng’s memory:: Force one brother to murder the other, then reveal to Hua Wuque the sin he has committed and let it drive the boy insane.
Will the truth come out before Wuque finds and kills Xiaoyu, or will the evil Ladies of Yihua Palace finally have the vengeance they have waited for for over 18 years? As Wuque and Xiaoyu’s paths cross more and more they strike up an unlikely friendship, even knowing there is no escaping their dark fate.
**Trigger Warning: Later episodes include off-camera sexual assault and on-camera depictions of near-rape.**

The Lost Tomb**
Language: Mandarin Chinese
50 years ago, a group of Changsha grave robbers known as the “Mystic Nine” dug out manuscripts of the location of treasures from the Warring States period, but soon after almost the entire group was hunted down and slaughtered.
In the present, the young grandchild of the sole survivor, Wu Xie, discovers a secret within his grandfather's notes as well as half of a silk manuscript that may reveal the location of the lost tomb. But there is one problem- the other half of the manuscript is held by a shady organization of tomb raiders eager to break in and steal whatever cultural relics are inside the tomb.
Wu Xie has a "National Treasure” moment and decides that in order to stop the objects in the tomb from vanishing into the black market he will break in first and recover whatever is inside (’I’m going to steal the Declaration of Independence...’).
Wu Xie is helped on his journey by his beloved “Third Uncle” Wu Sanxing, his uncle’s right hand man Panzi, and the mysterious Xiao Ge - a tomb raider who seems to know of traps before they are sprung and whose hand has been mutilated in a way not seen among tomb robbing families in over a century.
They expected to find a lost tomb, perhaps chase away some thieves, and learn about an exciting piece of lost history. What they did not expect was for the tomb to strike back, the dead to rise, and the past to fight and keep what secrets it holds.
Who exactly are this alternate group of tomb robbers? What are they searching for? What exactly is protecting the tomb? Whose side is Xiao Ge truly on? And- most crucially- can Wu Xie survive long enough to find the answers?

Mystic Pop-Up Bar
Language: Korean
Mystic Pop-up Bar tells the story of a mysterious outdoor drinking establishment run by an ill-tempered woman named Wol Joo, an innocent part-time employee named Han Kang Bae, and a former afterlife detective known as Chief Gwi who visit customers in their dreams to help resolve their problems.
To atone for a devastating mistake in her past life, Wol-Joo must aleviate the suffering of 100,000 individuals. After 500 years the counter stands at 99,990, but the impatient judges of the afterlife are tired of Wol-Joo’s bad attitude and increasing hatred of humanity.
She now has just one month to save 10 people, or else her soul will be destroyed forever.
**It’s worth noting the heavy similarities between Mystic Pop-Up Bar and Hotel Del Luna, though it should be said that Mystic Pop Up Bar’s script was finished first while Hotel Del Luna was made more quickly. The similarities between the two shows appears to be coincidental.

Oh My Emperor
Language: Mandarin Chinese
Fei-Fei, a young doctor, is wounded in an accident and finds herself trapped in the ancient and mystical nation of Huang Dao. The people of Huang Dao are ruled by a king born of the stars- the physical embodiment of one of the twelve zodiac constellations. To keep discord from arising among the people, the Twelve Zodiac Masters govern together to keep the peace.
But a thirteenth sign has been forcibly subjugated, it’s Lord executed, and its people scattered to the wind. The lost sign- Ophiuchus- is rising once more- and Fei-Fei is its (unwilling) Master.
It only complicates matters slightly that Fei-Fei finds herself between the handsome and charming Master of Aquarius and his nephew- the cold Master of Capricorn (who is also the Emperor). Can Fei-Fei keep her identity secret long enough to solve the mystery of the Ophiuchus purge- or is Huang Dao doomed to destruction?
**This drama is a showpiece for members of the Chinese pop group X-Nine, do not judge it by the same standards as a traditional drama. Showpiece dramas tend to be a bit silly.

Now, it is time for them to go on their last great adventure as the so-called “Iron Triangle” before Wu Xie sets off on the journey all must eventually make: death. He always thought his end would come in a dangerous tomb, but instead it will be lung cancer that claims his life. With only 3-4 months left to live, Wu Xie hides the truth of his illness from his friends and family, revealing the truth only to Xiao Ge.
Once upon a time, Wu Xie was told that when a man meets his death he must do so with a clear conscience. But something has been weighing on Wu Xie- his Third Uncle’s disappearance at the end of their first adventure. Right on time, a message from his long lost uncle appears, setting Wu Xie on a desperate mission to find him before the cancer eating away at his body destroys him at last.
This will most likely be Wu Xie’s final journey, but he will do anything in his power to make sure his friends and family will be safe long after his time is up. In the final 3-4 months of Wu Xie’s life he will seek to unravel the mystery of the “Thunder City”- starting with the most dangerous tomb he’s ever explored, The South Sea King’s Tomb.
The sound of thunder hides a secret men have killed for, but is there really a way to hear the words of gods within it? Someone clearly thought so, but who? Is Uncle Sanxing still alive, or is someone in the shadows guiding Wu Xie to them?
Wu Xie’s enemies thought he was dangerous before, but now he is a dying man with a mission. There is no telling what lengths he will go to in order to achieve his goals. He might just manage to die in a tomb after all...

Note
🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 Christian, Helena, Gina, Georgie, and Aaliyah!!!
THANK U!!!! sorry this is so late :(
CHRISTIAN
IDK if I ever said this but his whole mansion in Bel Air is modeled after the interior in Versailles - still modern but with STRONG Baroque vibes
His favorite european city - besides Versailles of course - is Venice 😳 he lived there for some time in the 18th century and loved it there... he misses it a lot
He has a ghoul.... his name is Claude, the only living descendant of his favorite sister :(( Christian tracked him down in the early 1900s in Paris and eventually offered him to embrace him, but Claude was like nah... I wanna see the sunlight dude. They’re still living together in Bel Air since they’re the only family they have left :0
Hangs out in LA nightclubs a lot - not the goth ones we see in the game.. the sexy ones where rich people hang out, he mostly feeds from them there.. slurp slurp!
Can speak english, french, italian, german and a few words in latin.. op king. being that old gives you time to learn languages ig
Went into an overdramatic state of fake depression after Helena dumped him.. didn’t leave his mansion at all, just hung around in his room, not eating (... drinking blood..), moping and talking about killing himself bc Toreadors are fucked up. Claude is like.. get up dude -_-
HELENA
I also dont know if I ever said this but even though shes not the fledgling.. Heather is still her ghoul (she was in the santa monica clinic to get somehting done for la croy and yeah).. she regrets it because Heather is soooo annoying and does all of this shit for her like calling her her master and all that and it’s just so uncomfortable. Especially when she offers her her student loans. Helena is like “oh my god I can’t take this what the fuck?????????? this is yours. okay you know what.. if you insist.. i will take it 😏”
She doesn’t have the heart to kick her out though.. mostly because Helena misses having a roommate :c
The only people who were genuinely sad about her death are her mom and sister jhdsjhds.. the fake rich friends she had before her embrace didn’t really give a fuck about her until they realized they could get attention through it & started posting sob stories on myspace. Helena is mad about it.. those hoes treated her like a third wheel when she was alive 😤
she probably ends up “accidentally” telling her family she’s alive..
what annoys her the most about her death isn’t even the fact that she was killed.. it’s the fact that she didn’t die in a beautiful way, she was just some random nobody with no friends or fame who may have been killed by her boyfriend (except that the official story is that she never arrived at his house). Christian couldn’t have waited until she was an established actress so it could have been more poetic, nah he had to embrace her when nobody cared :((
She liked Christian’s Bel Air mansion but honestly?? her weird old apartment was still better - it wasn’t big and the furniture was a mess but it was still her home
GINA
Grew up with a single mother because her father died early in an accident... he was a construction worker or something :c her mom worked as a maid for a rich family until she got fired for stealing from them jdfkjsd
gets to rapture by assuming some rich girl’s identity. idk how she does that but.. somehow she does. Of course nobody knows about that, it’s her big secret 🤫 to the other rapture residents she’s just a rich heiress who acts a little different from New York’s high society because she lived abroad
she dislikes Rapture’s upper class for living so large when the poor have nothing just like she had nothing growing up.. doesn’t do much about it though.. Gina: *donates like a tiny amount of her wealth to an orphanage* wow helping people feels so good :)
Doesn’t have any real friends in rapture either except maybe Diane.. ironically because she thinks everyone else is fake 🙄
She didn’t like F*ntaine AT ALL because she thought he looked creepy but also because the Bronx accent scared her.. she’s really paranoid that he might have run into her while she was still living there and remembers her even though that’s soooo unlikely 😒 every time they’re in the same elevator together she turns away and pretends to look for something in her handbag
The civil war is just the worst for her bc she doesn’t want to align with the rebels they’re all freaks but there’s also no way in hell she’ll be on Andy Ryan’s side.. she’s just like *reluctantly joins rebels because she thinks its the winning team and because she thinks A**** is hot and doesn’t realize its the same guy she hid from at parties* *doesn’t do shit*
GEORGIE
has a weird relationship with her mom... she died when she was very very young and Georgie really doesn’t remember much about her - almost everything she knows is from her father reminiscing about how beautiful and loving she was but that’s not.. true.. its just how he remembers her, in reality she was a very cold & narcissistic person. she’ll never know the truth though :/
does NOT care about any politician or noble whatsoever but had a soft spot for Jessamine mostly because she made a friendly impression on her (from what she’s seen on posters and all that stuff).. Georgie liked to imagine she wanted to make things better for people like her. (the heart when pointed at Georgie: this bitch digs through garbage cans. freak.)
has little pots with flowers all over her little clinic in the distillery district, it adds a little life to her weird looking little home and makes it look even more goth-ish because they’re all dried out :/
is one of those people who are pretentious about drinking tea
has a weird rivalry with dr Galvani that he doesn’t know about 😒 her clinic is near his home and she's mad jealous of him, this dude has money to fund his research and expensive tools and what does he do with it?? dissect fucking rats? (she heard about it from Granny Rags and yeah she believes everything she says).. she’s out there calling him an idiot, meanwhile Galvani doesn’t even know she even exists
used to be a pickpocket as a kid.. mostly when her dad didn’t make enough money, she still got into trouble for it most of the time though and stopped when she got older -_- its ok though because she got to steal family heirlooms at the Boyle mansion during their masquerades because one of the sisters called her ugly
AALIYAH
unlike the game wants you to believe she’s from Nevarra City rather than Ostwick 😳 the youngest of 5 siblings and the only mage in the family - since Nevarra is pretty chill about magic and has no circles, she grew up without the whole oppression thing that’s going on in the rest of thedas, thus all this templar shit is nonsense to her. We’re fine back home, thank you! Your mages are just fucked up because you put them in prisons!
She was supposed to become a Mortalitasi and have a pretty powerful position in the Nevarran court until idk something political that involved the chantry in one way or another happened and she got shipped off to ferelden’s circle (post blight duh). She managed to escape after a few weeks in its weakened state and joined the mage underground - she never really was a circle mage like in the game 🙄
She and a group of other mages she was friends with were supposed to go to the conclave together to.. vote for mage rights but you know what happened! Also you know this excerpt from a very angry person’s journal you can find in the fade? that was from her best friend who died in the explosion :c She still misses her a lot
The only people she’s close to within the inquisition are Sera, Varric and Dorian.. the rest are either more acquaintances or outright hate her (especially Vivienne.. i love her but BOY did they not get along).. She likes the advisors a little more, Josie is cool they’re not like bffs or anything but they like each other.. Leliana and her got along soooo well I think they were really good friends. Cullen was.. unfortunately her boyfriend but they also hated each other in the beginning. more on that later
The worst thing for her was the attack on Haven it fucked her up sooooo bad :c All those innocent people she wanted to protect dying, she tried her best to save them but it was still too late for some of them despite her best efforts.. it just really messes with her and she hates thinking about it.. she actually tried to run off on one occasion after that 😳
Feels sooo weird about the fact that she’s nevarran because on one hand that’s her home and she’s proud of it!!! on the other hand everyone acts like she’s the biggest freak bc they think she was in a death cult or something and she HATES it :((
#thank u! sorry this is so late#ngl i miss being obnoxious about my ocs but also... not... most of it just happens on twitter and discord at this point#queennymeria

It was Halloween. 2003. His grandmother’s turn to host the festivities.
The party was lavish, for all their talk of today being largely for the children they had planned the occasion to an excessive amount. His grandmother only invited their closest friends and family to such an occasion, it grew far too political when all the pure bloods were together, best keeps things between just a select few. The adults took the time to engage in small talk and gossip, dressed in lavish gowns and elegant robes, an array of autumn colours spread throughout the fashion of the guests with whispers of the actual holiday throughout. They ate food from a grand buffet that the elves had slaved away over all day, drunk their way through bottles of fire-whiskey because giggle water was delicious but it was so unbecoming to laugh like children. It was even unbecoming on the children, actually. After they’d all been sufficiently fed they were ushered off to a different reception room where desserts and glasses of pumpkin juice were ready on trays to be consumed. There were a few children there that were new to him but it was clear his cousins knew them all, they sat around in a circle with Seth prowling around the centre, telling tales of ghosts and ghouls and all kinds of wicked things. The other children hung off his every word, all except Tyler.
Tyler sat in the far corner by himself. He had a book in his lap, tilted upwards so he could read the pages, he wanted to curl up on the armchair he’d taken refuge but he was still struggling to get used to the kinds of clothes his grandmother put him in- especially the dress robes for special occasions that came with cloaks and clasps and all kinds of unnecessary additions. He had to sit up straight in clothes like this, he’d crease them otherwise and his grandmother didn’t like when his clothes got creased. It was difficult to read like this though, the book had lots of words Tyler had never seen before and his mind tendered to wander when he tried to sound them out with so much noise in the background. Occasionally the group at the other side of the room would bubble with laughter, much of it came from his younger cousins, whenever they giggled their pigtails bounces either side of their heads, when they did Tyler couldn’t help but look over. There wasn’t room for him in the circle. He hadn’t been invited. That was alright though. Tyler would rather be anywhere else.
“You’ll never guess what I found!” Seth left the circle for a moment, pounded across the room to where he had left his coat and a large bag, he withdrew something from it and when he set it in the centre of the circle the group gasped and cheered. Tyler couldn’t see, from where he was sat, but it must have been fascinating because Seth had a very proud smile on his face. “No more stories, let’s talk to someone who’s really dead!”
“Really? Won’t we get into trouble?” Another boy asked.
“No! My father bought this for me, I said I wanted one and he gave it to me, he gave it to me so I would use it!” Seth, Tyler had learnt, had lots of things. He had lots of books and lots of toys, he told everyone about them, and on many occasions had berated Tyler for having none at all. “I know how to use it too, I’ve been learning, the more people the better- even you, Tyler!”
The group went quiet, all eyes were on him, Seth had an unreadable smile on his face.
“No,” Yvette spoke up first, shaking her head. “That’s not a good idea, you said-”
“Shut up!” Seth hissed at their cousin. “It’s not nice to exclude people, Tyler can play too.”
There was a look exchanged between his cousins and then Yvette stood up, her hands balled into fists as she stomped away from the circle and slumped herself into a chair at the edge of the room. It didn’t surprise him, Yvette hadn’t spoken more than a few words to Tyler for the entire time he’d known her.
“I’m not playing then.”
Tyler didn’t move, he stayed sat in his seat and waited for someone else to speak, no one did but they looked at him. They stared at him. Seth was looking at him expectantly- impatiently- his head tipping to the side. He’d never asked Tyler to join in before, least of all when his other friends were around, most of the time Seth was the first to push Tyler to the side and insist that he didn’t belong with the rest of them. Now he was waiting for him and some of the other children had began to sigh, growing impatient too with the fact that Tyler had yet to move, the only encouraging faces of the group came from his younger cousins. Their cheeks were rosy, their blonde hair tied up in ribbons, each of them had a small pile of sweets in their laps.
“Hurry up already, don’t you want to speak to ghosts?” Seth clicked his tongue to the roof of his mouth, seemingly thoughtful before he added, “We might be able to talk to your parents, I for one would like to hear from my uncle.”
Talk to his parents? Tyler sat up straighter. It had been over a year now, over a year and a half even, closer to two than to one. A long time. Not long enough. Tyler tried not to think about his parents, he tried not to think about them because whenever he did a familiar ache tightened in his chest, his stomach churned, he grew nauseous. Tyler tried not to think about them because thinking about them was a reminder that they were gone, that they only existed in his head and nowhere else. He tried not to think about them because when he thought about them he longed for them, he longed for them to show up out of the blue, longed for them to take him home so he never had to see this place again. He tried and failed. He couldn’t not think about them, even when he filled his head with so many other things, with all the tricky books in the world, he still found himself thinking about them. To be able to talk to them...
Tyler had not yet grown graceful, in all his eagerness to get up and join in he stumbled when standing from his seat, wobbled on his little legs and almost dropped the book he had all but forgotten he was reading. Grace was not on his side yet but his reflexes were already well-tuned, he caught the book and himself before he could properly fall, set the heavy novel down where he’d been sat seconds before and sheepishly wandered across the room to join the circle in the very spot where Yvette had been sat before. He crossed his legs and set his hands carefully in his lap, his fingers linking together. Now he was sat down he could see what Seth had stunned everyone else with earlier, it was a large wooden board and upon it the alphabet was engraved and numbers 1-0, as well as three words; yes, no and goodbye. It was a ouija board. Tyler knew because he’d read about them, he’d read a lot about ways to talk to the dead since he’d lost his parents. Granted, he didn’t know exactly how it worked so when Seth insisted he be the first to use it- it was his board, after all- he saw no reason to argue. Not that he could, even if he really wanted to. He watched, fascinated, as Seth pressed a wooden arrow-shaped object with curved edges to the board and held it still with two fingers. He said a lot of what sounded like nonsense but Tyler didn’t question it, Seth was a decent reader too, he might have been taught something like this if he wanted it.
“Spirits, if you are near then let us know it, talk to us!”
The pointer stayed still. Five seconds. Then ten. Then.. it moved. A swift jolt towards the top of the board that caused a chorus of gasps around the circle, even Tyler found his eyes wide.
“Can you hear me, spirits?”
It moved again. Stopped abruptly.
Yes.
Tyler spared a glance towards his cousin, even he seemed surprised, a hint if disbelief behind the smile that spread across his face.
“My name is Seth Envest, do you know who I am?”
The pointer shook in place but didn’t move.
Yes.
“Who are you?”
The pointer stayed still a moment and then pulled down the board towards the alphabet below, it skirted over letters before coming to a stop on one. R. It paused then continued again. E. Tyler sucked in a breath, he found his gaze shifting to his cousin again and found Seth staring right back at him, his eyes wide too.
“Rory Envest.”
Tyler’s heart lurched. Daddy. It had been so long. The last time he’d seen him... well, Tyler didn’t much like to think about the last time he’d seen him, where he’d left him, sometimes in his head he imagined that maybe he’d never been moved from the spot- his mother too- and they were still just there, lying side by side on the ground. Cold. Lifeless. He was still looking at Seth, not fully convinced he’d heard his cousin right, trying to figure out if there was any other possibility... when the pointer moved again. He whipped his head back towards the board as the pointer began to move frantically across the letters.
F.
I.
“He had a message! Quick, write it down!”
It was difficult to say who Seth was talking too but Tyler didn’t care, he didn’t look up from the board now as the pointer travelled back and forth across it. Everyone else in the circle seemed to be holding their breaths, tense in their spots, but Tyler leant forward as close to the board as he could without toppling right over onto it. The pointer was moving so fast, when it paused it only paused very briefly, he tried to keep up with the places it stopped but letters came and went before he could catch them all.
A.
L.
How was anyone writing this down?
E.
E.
Suddenly the pointer stopped and all was quiet except for his own breath, which was erratic, he was having a hard time taking breaths in. For a near minutes he remained staring at the board, waiting for any more letters to come, but when he didn’t he looked up. The boy beside Seth had a notepad in his lap, a pencil in his hand, he must have been writing the letters down and now he was staring at the page with his mouth hung open. After what seemed like forever, Seth snatched the pad from the boy and, to his surprised, pushed it towards Tyler.
“It’s for you.”
His heart was in his throat, his hands were shaking as he took the very edges of the notebook into his grasp, everyone looking towards him expectantly.
FILTHYHALFBREED
His brows furrowed.
“What’s that?”
Seth’s voice was very far away and yet somehow right in his ears. He was laughing, a victorious bark of laughter leaving him and a fit of giggles taking over much of the other children in the circle- in fact, all of them, save for the twins.
“Filthy. Half. Breed.”
His fingers stretched in a jolt, the note falling from his grip. His whole body shaking.
“You didn’t really think we could talk to your traitor of a father, did you?”
He couldn’t breathe. It wasn’t for lack of trying but when he sucked in a breath he was shaking so much that it didn’t seem to quite make it. And they were laughing properly now. He knew why, of all the things that could make the moment so much worse it was already happening, even as his face grew hot with embarrassment he could feel the warmth of tears as they began rolling down his cheeks. He was sobbing. No sound came from him but his body shook with the effort of attempting to keep them down, tears dripped over his face and off his chin, he unconsciously curled himself up to shield himself from all the eyes on him.
“Awww, the half breed’s crying, it’s your own fault for having all that dirty blood.” Seth was saying, his words taking large bites out of Tyler’s ability to think. “You should thank me- look at you! Even your stupid father would be ashamed if he saw you like this, you’re pathetic, you’re stupid and no one wants you. Not us. Not grandmother. Not my parents. Not even your own dead parents would ever want-”
“Seth!” The hiss came from Yvette.
“Seth!” The twins joined in, Sorcha continuing the sentiment with a fierce, “Stop it! You’re being horrible!”
The two of them, blonde pigtails in bobbing, lunged across the circle at their brother and began pummelling him with their tiny fists. It was too late though, Tyler had no space in his heart to be grateful, it was thrumming in his ears and aching in his chest. He scrambled back from the circle, feet pushing him back across the floor, and rolled onto his knees to push himself up. He made to run and this time didn’t catch himself, this time he went tumbling to the floor with a thud. Once again the circle erupted with laughter. He could barely see now as he pushed himself up with his fists balled, stumbled a few steps in his stupid, stiff new shoes, but once he was up he ran and he ran. He ran straight out of the room, bashing himself into the door on the way, and kept running, he ran all through the house and along almost-pitch-black corridors until he ran into his room and straight into his bed. He flung himself upon it, legs flailing as his hands took hold of the sheets and he used the grip to pull himself further onto the mattress. He turned his face down and though no sound came out, he screamed and screamed and screamed. Until his lungs burnt out.
~~~
Tyler shot up in bed gasping for air.
It was nearly Halloween. 2015. He was safe, at Alastair’s town house.
Though it took him a moment to realise that, his heart was pounding hard in his chest and panic was still etched into the fleeting memory his dreams had unlocked for him. He was shaking. A familiar feeling. His body tense. He didn’t want to move because, as his senses began to come back to him and reality bled in, he realised with much discomfort that his clothes were drenched and sticking to him. Sweat. He shuddered. Cold, despite his predicament. And alone. His eyes searched the room and sure enough he was alone. When he exhaled his lungs heaved. It took some persuading to get his legs to willingly push the covers down his body towards his feet, as he shuffled them down he pat the fabric, it wasn’t too wet. He could change them tomorrow. His clothes, on the other hand... Tyler remained tense as he shuffled to the edge of the bed and set his feet down on the ground. He was still shaking when he stood, wobbly and with his head swimming, he had to take a moment to steady himself on the dresser before he could go to the en suite. The first thing he did was peel off his clothes, his top first and then his boxers followed, he kicked them away from him and left them on the floor. When he looked in the mirror he was immediately put off by his reflection. He stood rigid, with his arms held out instinctively at his sides, the hair that fell at the back of his neck was clumped together in hideous rat tails and clung to his skin. Goosebumps were present everywhere. Still shaking, he turned the tap on hot and immediately soaked a washcloth under it. He wiped himself down, every inch that he could reach, starting with his face and the back of his neck, all the way down to his wobbly legs. When he was finished he splashed cold water on his face.
He returned to bed, unsteady on his feet but clean, to find Alice sat in the centre of it. If a cat could look concerned that would surely be her expression. He merely shook his head, as if to tell her it wasn’t worth talking about. Tyler couldn’t bear thinking about it. He acquired new boxers first and felt somewhat better when he pulled them on. He was cold now though. Tyler crouched so he could root through a drawer of long-sleeved tops, made with thicker fabrics, things he didn’t always sleep in because they were too warm. At the very bottom of the drawer, tucked away safely, was a hoodie that didn’t belong to him. Tyler pulled it on over his head but kept his face tucked into the neck, when he breathed in he wanted to cry. It smelt like the castle and lazy days spent lounging in a common room that wasn’t his own, limbs tangled up with a boy whose very existence made him feel safer. Back when he was a child there’d been no golden haired boys to dream about.
Tyler climbed back into bed, exhausted though he’d been asleep for hours. As he pulled the covers back over him, Alice adjusted herself accordingly. She came trotting up the bed and when he curled up she managed to squeeze herself between his chest and his knees- above the covers though, she had far too much fur to be tucked under quilts too. She purred and purred, doing her best to comfort him, while Tyler squeezed his eyes shut and kept his face buried against Jeremy’s hoodie. If he tried hard enough he could pretend it had never happened. Some things were better off considered dreams.

The full backstory of Étienne Cohen
Warning: This became... wayyy longer than I intended. But I think I managed to write everything.
The Settlement He was born in 2251, in a primarily french-jewish settlement one week’s travel straight North of Parson’s State Asylum. He grew up there, in abandoned train carts turned into houses, with his parents, the local doctors Jacob and Camille Cohen.
He was a bright child, but timid, and there weren’t many other children in the settlement. The ones that were, he got along with fine, but he preferred the company of his parents - and later, his twin siblings Aaron and Miriyam, who were born when he was 5. Children being born in an irradiated wasteland where the infertility rate was high was amazing, and twins were especially good - Étienne heard this from the other settlers and immediately knew he had to make sure nothing bad would happen to his little brother and sister.
He was a devout child, attending services at temple and very interested in the religious life - the rabbi even joked Étienne might take his place one day. Other than that, he spent his time hanging in his mother’s skirt, taking care of his baby siblings, and observing his parents as they treated patients. His favorite “toys” were the used stimpaks (needles taken out, of course) and scraps of bandages. He had stomach problems, and his joints ached, and he stuttered when he got nervous, but apart from that, he was a happy child.
His father would sometimes walk to the settlers living half a day’s walk away from the settlement. One day, when Étienne was 10, his father didn’t come back. The settlers later found his torn up, bloodied jacket. Nobody knew if it had been raiders, or a Deathclaw, or feral ghouls... The list of possibilities went on, but his father didn’t return.
His mother grived but continued on for her children. She was now the only doctor in the settlement and the surrounding area, and thus, Étienne stepped up and became her assistant, learning everything he could. His religious view had dulled after his father’s death, and he spent less time at temple and more time at the clinic.
Then, when he was 25, an epidemic swept across the settlement. Nobody could figure out how it had begun. It claimed a fourth of the settlers. It claimed his siblings, whom he had sworn to protect. He and his mother had done everything they knew, but nothing had worked. Aaron and Miriyam had passed away within half a day of each other.
His mother didn’t bounce back from this loss. She succumbed to her grief, refusing to eat, refusing to leave the house or see patients or do anything. Étienne had to bury his siblings alone. He pleaded with his mother to eat, to go out and see the sun. She didn’t. Within three months, he had lost her as well, because she lost her will to live.
Not long after, new people came to the settlement - word had gotten out that there were vacant houses, space for living with a roof over your head. There was even a doctor among them. Étienne had no reason to stay. He felt haunted in his house - only his, now, not theirs, not anymore - and with a new doctor, the village wouldn’t be in need. So he packed the belongings he could carry on his back, and at dawn he went out, locked the door behind him, and started walking along the train tracks.
Tenpines Bluff Following the tracks led him west for a while, but it turned and soon he was headed South. When he reached Tenpines Bluff, he was starving, exhausted, and injured. He had run from more battles than he had fought, but his clothes were still bloodied and he was a mess. The two settlers living there - siblings, a brother and sister - took him in for a few nights. They gave him food and a bed to sleep in, in exhange for setting a newly broken bone and teaching them the proper way to wrap a gauze. He had been more dead than alive when he had found them, but he didn’t stay long; them being siblings was too harsh a memory for him yet. He continued following the tracks. They had adviced him to do so; he would probably run into a trading caravan on the way, and if he kept walking along the tracks, he would eventually reach Diamond City.
Diamond City When he finally reached Diamond City, he was cold, tired, and alone - no caravan to keep him company along the way, rations used, hardly any caps, and winter was setting in, harsh winds that made his bones ache. He was let in, but didn’t have enough money to stay at the Dugout Inn. He slept on the ground outside for three days. Miserable, starving, freezing, and alone. Then Nick Valentine found him outside the Valentine Detective Agency, sitting against the wall and trying not to focus on the knot of hunger in the pit of his stomach. The detective had approached him and told him to get up. Fearing he was about to get sent away for being a nuisance, he apologized profusely, but lost his footing due to the dizziness of malnutrition and dehydration. Nick had caught him and dragged him inside. “There’s no reason for you to sit out there when you might as well be in here,” he had told him. He then made his assistant, Ellie, go and buy noodles from Takahashi for her and their new guest.
Étienne spent weeks with Nick and Ellie. He was closed off, still grieving, not ready to trust yet, not ready to not be afraid that they were going to die and leave him alone, not yet ready to not imagine all the different sorts of ways everything could go wrong. Until the death of his siblings, he hadn’t been so anxious. Timid, sure, but this anxiety was different, and it was there to stay. Still, the color seemed to return to his face. His stutter got less severe (in the beginning, Ellie could hardly understand a word he was saying, not only from his stutter but also his french-yiddish-hebrew-american mishmash of words and accents), and when the winter was over, he was back on his feet. He wanted to thank them somehow, even though Nick insisted there was nothing to thank them for. “If you really need to repay us, just promise me that you’ll lend me your medical knowledge when I need to crack a case.”
Diamond City already had plenty of doctors, but Nick said that Goodneighbor only had one, and she preferred to deal with neuroscience rather than regular medical issues. One day, he presented Étienne with a letter of recommendation that he had written after watching Étienne tend to patients after the clinic in Diamond City had closed for the night (while muttering under his breath, “who closes a medical clinic?!”). He told him that if he wanted to try his hand at working in Goodneighbor, all he had to do was to show the letter to the mayor, and to the doctor, then surely they would figure something out. Étienne was on his way a week later - he loved Nick and Ellie, but tending to patients was higher on his list. He didn’t want to lose anyone else.
Goodneighbor Nick had just forgotten to tell him what kind of people there were in Goodneighbor. Étienne didn’t mind ghouls at all (well, feral ones were a different matter), but drug addicts and criminals were not what he’d had in mind when he’d heard the town name. Still, he managed to ask where he would find the local doctor. Doctor Amari and Nick Valentine apparently went way back. She gave the letter a quick read-through, looked Étienne up and down, and shrugged. “You can stay as long as you don’t disturb me. The equipment is free for you to use, but put it back in its rght place when you’re done.” So now he had a job. He didn’t meet the rather... charismatic mayor of Goodneighbor until a week later. By then he was settled in and tended to alcohol poisoning more often than he would have liked, but it was a job and it paid the food and rent at Hotel Rexford. When the good mayor strode into the clinic in the basement of the Memory Den, it was with a gash on his head that dripped blood into his eyes. Dr. Amari simply groaned and made a dismissive gesture. “Doctor Cohen,” (she had taken to calling him that, as he refused to call her anything but Dr. Amari, even after a week of being colleagues. So in return, she called him Dr. Cohen, even though that sounded wrong to him, because Dr. Cohen were his parents, not him) “Meet the mayor of Goodneighbor and resident barfight victim of the month, John Hancock.” “So you’re the new doctor?” Hancock had smiled through the blood. “Heard about you. Apparently you have good qualifications. All the way from Diamond City and our favorite toaster.” Étienne quickly found out that he would be seeing Hancock with a bloodied face more often than not. The town was rough, and people were rough as well, but he slowely grew to know the locals, came to appreciate Daisy chatting with him (even if it was mostly one-sided, as he was still too shy and anxious to reply much) and Magnolia’s singing, KLE-0′s deadpan snark and the Neighborhood Watch. But still... He had lived in a settlement, and been taught how important it was for there to be a doctor. And he knew many settlements didn’t have one. One night, over cups of steaming hot Hubflower-tea, he confessed these worries to Dr. Amari. “Have you thought about being a Wasteland Medic?” she had asked. “Traveling from settlement to settlement and checking up on them, offering your services?” “I am not sure I could do that alone.” “You could always travel alongside a caravan.” One month later, he left with a caravan through the gates of Goodneighbor.
Caravan The traveling merchants had a route that came by a lot of settlements, big and small, some better off than others, which was what Étienne had wanted; he had worried that a caravan would only come to the well-off settlements, while he wanted to treat settlers who couldn’t get help, who didn’t have caps or a doctor already. This caravan made sure of that. They were a tight-knit group, all of them children of other caravan traders and thus used to life on the road. They knew when to be quiet and stealthy, and when to have fun and sing as they walked along. They made Étienne share songs from his settlement as well, and they learned them and in turn taught him theirs. He was still hurting, still grieving his family - it had been around five years since he had left home, the wound still fresh, but he was learning to cope. And then he fell in love. Her name was Melodia. She was short and beautiful; her skin was tan from being out in the sun with the caravan all the time, and her hair like rusty embers. And her voice... Her voice was the most beautiful of all. She fell in love with him, too. However, it was a short romance. She disappeared one night, as the caravan was close to Diamond City. The next day, everyone looked for her, and Étienne even went to Nick for help. A few days later, Nick had tracked her to a raider camp and rescued her, but she wasn’t the same anymore, not after what they had done to her. She refused anyone near her, lashed out, cried, and in the end, she told Étienne to just leave. So he did. He respected her wish. He knew it wouldn’t be fair on them if he stayed - it would only lead to frustration and tears. She needed time to heal.
Afterwards He went back to Goodneighbor. Back to Diamond City. And then he started traveling alone, now that he knew the safest routes and the locations of the settlements.
He became friends with the dwellers of Vault 81. He gave the Molerat Cure to Austin rather to himself, because children were a rarity and important if they wanted a future. He walked his routes and healed people, and sometimes he strayed from his routes to check if any stragglers needed help. And then one day in Concord in 2287, 36 years old, after having checked up on the settlers at Abernathy Farm, he ran into a certain ginger-haired, freckled man that would soon become his partner through thick and thin........ (obviously @sodajerkie)
And that is where the story ends. And that is where our story begins.

Ahkira Amor Jackson (AoT)
(Kat)
Yeah, so I have some fan frazzled nerves. I just rewatched season one with my sister, and now we’re gonna do season two. But I have a few mary sues I’ve found and would like to review. (Update: I finished the anime and am now reading the manga.)
Oh god her titan design is killing me.
Also, her hair is much too long, and no bows allowed. If she’s in the scouting legion, Levi would take one look and tell her to take it off.
Also, why does she have heterochromia in her titan form? Someone please tell me.
Name: Ahkira Amor Jackson
Meaning: Amor- love. Ahkira- bright, intelligent, or clear.
Okay, why is her name Asian? Asian people are almost extinct in the AoT universe.
Nickname(s): ki-ki, Love, shorty, short-stack. Age: 24 Gender: female Species: human (shifter)
I just started this review and I’m already tired of it.
Birthplace: wall sina, orvud district Current Residence: underground. (Explination in history)
This is going to be a Levi copy isn’t it?
Sexual Orientation: straight Relationship Status: single
Well, at least she isn’t shipped with Levi.
Language(s) spoken: english Life-Long Dream: to see the ocean
That is so cliche I can’t even.
Goal(s): save humanity, get married, family Like(s): drawing, dancing around, juice (prefers apple) hanging with friends, helping erwin, hangi, levi, riding her horse, exploring outside (HQ), loves animals.
This just comes off as bland...
Dislike(s): the MPs,
Oh come on, nobody likes them.
wall sina (the civilians) and the king, paperwork, being picked on b/c of her height, levi making her clean.
Levi does that to everyone. Don’t expect special treatment.
Bad Habit(s): twirling her hair in her fingers, falling asleep doing paperwork.
Only one of those habits is bad, and it isn’t even that bad.
Hobbies: drawing, helping out.
Helping out isn’t really a hobby.
Fear(s): losing her squad and friends, humanity losing
BLAND.
Personality: sweet, generous, short tempered, can be serious at times when necessary, silly, abit oblivious.
All of this is kind of irrelevant, and won’t matter as soon as we get to the tragic history.
Weight: 126 lbs Hair style: (mostly down) long soft volumious curls, bangs are side swept
No. In AoT, girls either have short hair of they wear their hair back. Think Sasha, Hanji and Annie.
Hair Color: dark brown Eye Color: sky blue Skin Tone: fairly tan Body Shape/Build: slim, think thighs
I’d imagine muscular or lean, seeing as she’s a soldier.
Birth Marks: none
Everyone has birthmarks. I have one on my toe, scalp (covered by my hair), and one on my inner thigh.
Scar(s): 2 down her shoulder blades, cut scars on wrists and thighs (barely visible)
Just... What are those scars from? And self-harm does not make your OC edgy or cool. It isn’t something to joke about, either.
Other: always wearing her blue bow
No. Hair accessories are a no in AoT. They get in the way.
Health- Memory (any issues with this?): none Sight (do you need glasses?): no Mental (Any problems? Example: depression): depression (comes back every once in awhile)
Yeah, depression isn’t something that makes you cool either. It ruins lives. I have experience, so I know firsthand how horrible depression is. It makes you miserable. Anyone else who has it will agree with me. Also, depression isn’t something that comes and goes. It can be suppressed by medicine though.
Physical (Do you take care of your body or harm it? Also include injuries): used to be self harmer in her underground days
Wow. I've run out of things to say about this.
Other than the fact that my point stands.
Sleep patterns (how you sleep and how much rest do you get?): enough, takes naps when able to Allergies/Other: none
Blandddddd.
Abilities/Statistics (1- lowly skilled, 10- highly skilled and tell why)-
3D Maneuvering Gear: 10 (father taught her)
That isn’t how that works. An ordinary person couldn’t just teach someone how to use the 3DMG. You have to recieve special military training.
Well, then there’s Levi, but he stole it in the No Regrets series. Another option is if her father stole it. I dunno, but I think the problem here is pretty clear.
Intelligence: 7 Martial Arts: 10 (father trained her)
Okay, was her father a soldier? Are are you trying to pull an Annie on me?
Battle Skill: 10
Tell me why?
Agility: 9 Strategy: 8 Teamwork: 9 Passion: 8
TELL ME WHY ALL OF THESE ARE UNREALISTICALLY HIGH? THEY ARE AS UNREALISTIC AS REICHERU’S BREAST SIZE.
Affiliation: survey corps
Of freaking course.
Rank: Lieutenant/squad leader
Do it for my sake.
Status: Alive
Titan Shifter- Title: crystal titan
I’m dying here.

TITANS LOOK LIKE THIS:
NOT THE FREAK OF NATURE JUST DESCRIBED TO ME.
On her fore head is crystals (in this formation
www.google.com/search?q=head+j… ). Crystals ( shaped like thiswww.google.com/search?q=crysta…) or on top on shoulders and back of elbows. Long crystal claw like fingernails. The nape of her neck is protected by crystals. Mouth is closed shut (opens when she roars or rip other titans with apart with her mouth.) 2 long sharp k9’s are shown on lower jaw 2 smaller k9s shown on top jaw. Her hair is flowy
What class Titan (15m, etc.): 12m Transformation caused by….: when amulet is ripped off (www.google.com/search?q=amulet…) {still havent drawn it on her.}
Titan transformation is caused by pain.
Do your research.
Also, jewelry isn’t worn in AoT by soldiers.
Did you have previous knowledge of being able to change?: yes If yes, how did you find out?: she was helping her mother cut vegetables and she cut her finger, the cut crystalized then seconds later was healed. Started learning more and more later on as she grew older.
How... How does that tell her she can transform?
How well can you control it?: can transform at will. ( full control )
I am so freaking done.
Relationships- Parent(s): very close to mother, was close to father. Both dead
The E D G E
Sibling(s): none Love Interest: levi
IT

LEVI
STOP
I ACTUALLY GROANED OUT LOUD.
Best Friend(s): levi, erwin, hangi, eren, jean, mike
She’s best friends with Erwin, the commander?
Also, it’s either Hange or Hanji. Not a hodgepodge of the two.
Friend(s): isabel, farlan (underground days) mostly all of 104 trainee graduates,
Haha, no. Those were Levi’s friends. Not this Mary sue’s. End of story.
I have 0% patience left.
squad levi,
Only the soldiers who are handpicked by Levi himself get to join this squad. The soldiers in the Levi Squad are elite as they come. This OC is many things, but elite isn’t one of them.
(her squad -derek, lillian, thomas,
Thomas is dead.
james, christian.)
Quote(s): im not scared of anything in this world, except insanity.
History/Life: Ahkira had a fairly good childhood, until she lost her mom. When she was 5 her mother became very ill, after a few months her mother passed away and both her and her father were crushed. Her father was a former squad leader in the survey corps then soon left after his child was born (ahkira).
You... can’t just quit. Abandonment is punishable by death.
Her father became more cold and distant from her after the lost of her mother
The father is a jerk, then.
, he started drinking heavily and using drugs, after a month he became violent towards ahkira blaming her for Priscillas (mother) death.
How is this her fault?
This went on for 2 years, one night ahkira was crying in her room w bruises covering her arms and legs, she sat in the corner of her bed crying into her teddy bear her mom got her for her 3rd birthday.
CHILD ABUSE ISN’T EDGY EITHER!
Ahkira quietly came in dragging her fathers old 3dmg sword. At this point her right blue eye was crimson red.
She went up behind him and stabbed him straight in the back piercing through the front.
THAT ISN’T NORMAL THREE-YEAR-OLD BEHAVIOR.
After that she took the 3dmg packed a few clothes and left. She somehow ended up going into the underground, where she became known as ‘the little girl with blades’. As she became older she was known as the queen of the underground b/c of her 2 mismatched eyes
THIS IS NOT TOKYO GHOUL.
(was only like that in her underground days) and of her record of murders.
Why would the Survey Corps let a psychopathic murderer onto their team? The answer is: They wouldn’t.
At the age of 15 she met levi and farlan.
Use capital letters, dang it. It’s *Levi and *Farlan.
They became close friends after awhile and she soon became close to isabel when she joined.
Please tell me it’s almost over.
A year later ahkira left to join the survey corps. It wasnt easy, levi was hurt and pretty upset that she wanted to leave, after arguing and having a fist fight which was a draw he let her go.
Why... would Levi care?
She ran into erwin who was on a search looking for her, with out any resistance she willingly went with them to the survey corps, 2-3 years later she went up in ranks to lieutenant. Her whole personality changed back to the way it used to be when she was little and her right eye turned back to the original color.
This... Do your research for the AoT fandom. Do you even watch the anime? Read the Manga? Titans don’t have long hair, Heterochromia isn’t a thing in AoT. Just... No. I have nothing left to say.

Ask meme for Sal: 3, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 21, 26, 30, 33, 36, 42, 47, and 49
Another one that took forever :’) sorry about that, but here we go!
The Excessively Detailed Headcanon Meme
3: Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?
Yes, he does! He goes for a bit of everything, but enjoys strength training the most, when he has the time for it. Expect to see him doing pushups and crunches in the morning. Setting aside some time for exercising will happen if he can afford to do it - say, if he’s staying in town for a little longer while on a job. Sal doesn’t have a home, so he doesn’t exactly have a place or equipment to exercise as much as he’d like to.
10: Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?
Sole Survivor!Sal has seen some shit and done some shit - he has depression, PTSD that made that depression worse. Companion!Sal goes through things just as traumatic, but deals with them better due to upbringing, so watching people die isn’t something that scars him. That being said, he has little in the way of ambition, but whether that’s because he’s been depressed for a long time or the apathy came later I couldn’t tell you. He denies having problems, however, and tells everyone he just wants to be sitting on a pile of caps. He then drinks copious amounts of liquor to forget all about the lack of ambition and the emptiness it’s created inside him.
11: Intellectual pursuits?
For companion!Sal, virtually none. He would learn more about art in general, and music in particular, but he doesn’t see any practical uses for it and would rather spend the time making money.
14: Physical abnormalities? (Both visible and not, including injuries/disabilities, long-term illnesses, food-intolerances, etc.)
Sal is surprisingly healthy for a wastelander. He has his share of scars, because mercenary work and traveling across the country on foot isn’t easy, but nothing crippling or that causes him pain on the regular. Has all of his teeth and they’re in pretty good condition, too. He’s allergic to some specific kinds of wasteland drugs, mostly painkillers. But seeing as chems aren’t his thing and you’ll have to convince him to use a stimpak, it isn’t a problem.
15: Biggest and smallest short term goal?
Bruno has basically 0 ambition so goals aren’t something he even bothers setting. When he does, they tend to be very, very small and not entirely significant, like buying himself a new jacket, or a new mod for his favorite shotgun.
16: Biggest and smallest long term goal?
He does, however, have a long term goal, technically two. He wants to go back to New Orleans one day, to visit his nana. Does he plan for it? Is he saving some money for the trip back? Of course not. He also wants to visit his biological mother and his niece near Boston, but never does it, despite being close. He doesn’t resent his mother, but doesn’t like her, either, so while it is something he could do, it’d only happen if he was forced to do it, somehow.
21: Turn-ons? Turn-offs?
Sal is demisexual and as far as he knows heteroromantic, so talking about his turn-ons and turn-offs implies he’s close to someone already or very, very drunk and needy. When it comes to physical things, he tends to feel attracted by displays of power, in a way. Women who look like they can kick his ass are A+. It’s not a deal breaker, however.
He’s more of an ass man and he loves thighs/legs. Stockings/garter, skirts, dresses, anything that is equal amounts classy and sensual will get him going. Also one thing that is sexual but is Special for him and will put him in a loving, giving mood is a good old blowjob.
26: Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t workout?
He never plans ahead, and his few plans for the future (like visiting his mother) never get under way because he doesn’t care about them. He had this idea of settling down in the Commonwealth for a while, which means getting an actual place to live, but always finds another job and so he tells himself he doesn’t have time for that. He also hates the idea of being tied down to a place and missing opportunities elsewhere.
30: Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)
The only disaster that could affect him would be the death of his nana, because he expects she will outlive him, being a ghoul. She is truly the only person he cares about, and knowing of her death would make him feel terrible for a while. He’d drink lots, blame himself for not visiting her while he could. It would either help him get his life together, because he’d try to be the man she always believed he could be, or it would ruin him for good.
33: Concept of home and family?
Family was the grandmother he was never allowed to call anything but “Nana”, and the children she raised alongside him. Family is watching your adopted siblings go because they are much older than you and being left alone with your distantly related ghoul grandmother in a tiny cabin a forty minute walk away from New Orleans. Home is tending the herb garden while listening to jazz, family is stories about a country no one else seems to know about. Home is windchimes and colorful handwoven rugs, hot tea and strange noises outside your window in the middle of the night. Home is cozy, home is scary, and he misses it dearly.
36: What makes them feel guilty?
Nothing! You can’t feel guilty if you never stop to think about your problems!
He feels guilty for being the piece of shit human he is. All he does is drink, kill things and waste his caps on things that won’t last him. He never helps anybody. He doesn’t like anybody. He doesn’t even have friends. And this was not what his grandmother raised him for. Deep down, he knows this, but at the end of the day, he has nothing to fight for. Nothing to believe in. He’s not looking for it, of course, and unless that lands on his lap (or in his arms, fit for carrying ladies, just putting it out there), it’s not happening.
42: How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?
He got no formal education. He knows how to read and write, basics about most things, because his grandmother taught him everything she knew. She has plenty of experience raising kids, and hell no she won’t let a child she raised go about not knowing at least a tiny bit of everything. He knows even about the educational system that was in place before the war, and seeing as he’s met more than a few wasteland orphans who could use some basic instruction, he reckons it would be a good thing in post-apocalyptic United States. No idea how that could be done and he sure as hell won’t be the one looking around to make it work, of course.
47: How do they express love?
He’d be tempted to just express it with words, but he’s far too proud to allow himself that. He’ll be… Less so over time, as the relationship develops. He’s very romantic and big on spoiling his partners - the kind that brings little gifts, compliments, notices small things, gives you a nice massage at the end of the day. But he’s also a practical man, and will try to make himself useful. Unlike Kieran, however, he is far less invasive. He will not take over your tasks without asking you first, he’ll join in on whatever you are doing, wait for your directions and follow them to the best of his ability.
49: Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?
Yes and no. He’s not afraid of dying, but he thinks it’d suck real bad. He doesn’t have a goal and doesn’t feel like he’s doing anything productive out of his life, so him dying isn’t terrible, but it’s not good, either. He’s “eh” about it.

so heres, uh, a rough summary of the tsukinami cd. the mukami one is next! lol...take it with a grain of salt tbh. sorry it’s long as fuck
TRACK 1:
The CD starts off with Carla monologuing about Endzeit, the disease that killed so many founders. He got it while he was killing his dad, etc etc etc read his wiki page
Shin walks up to Carla and asks what they’re gonna do. Carla remarks that the times have changed, and Shin agrees. Karl Heinz is gone, and his power has been passed on to one of his sons. Carla asks why Karl Heinz chose to disappear, and says that if Karl Heinz wished, he could keep on living forever. Shin’s like, “So you think he wished to disappear?” and Carla says that it must be so. There must be a reason.
Suddenly changing the subject, Carla asks Shin where that woman is. Shin says she’s back in the human world, in the Sakamaki mansion. Carla’s like “Okay. Go get her.” Shin’s all :0 and Carla’s like “...what.” Shin says that Nii-san decides everything on his own without explanation, and he wonders if he’s planning something. Carla’s like “Of course.” and Shin says “I knew it! Then, I’m going to the human world for a bit!” And he heads off, feelin pretty damn good. But before he leaves Carla stops him and tells him to be careful because he senses something stirring. Shin’s like yeah whatever lol, and he’s off on his way.
So Shin’s in the human world now. You hear him whistle, followed by a bunch of wolves howling. (It’s cute.) Shin monologues - I could have heard this part wrong, but it sounded like he was saying that it was important to him that he lift some of the weight off of Nii-san. He says that to them, Yui is a very important girl. But recently, Nii-san stopped seeking out that girl. Shin had worried that he has given up on the future of the Founders. But, since Carla gave him an order to go get Yui, it seems like he was mistaken! Yay!
As Shin runs with the wolves, he exclaims how he’s getting excited!! He’s finally getting another chance, it’s like a dream! (so so cute) Shin monologues again - At that time he was thinking that he just wanted to run wild. He didn’t care about expectations or fate, or anything like that. He thought that going to go get Yui would be a piece of cake.
TRACK 2:
Shin’s running and panting and saying that Nii-san’s definitely gonna be mad. He explains that he made it to the human world and to the Sakamaki house, but the Sakamaki house was pretty much, um, a huge pile of rubble. (If you listened to the Sakamaki Lost Eden CD, you know that Ayato basically blasted the house down in a fit of rage, whoops) Shin is thinking that this must’ve been what Nii-san was so worried about. Shin and his familiars searched the place, and they found traces of vampires, but also some other kind of power.
Shin makes a bunch of adorable little sniffing sounds, and catches a scent that shocks him. It’s not a wolf, eagle (Adora? idk), or vibora. Could it be...a ghoul?? Shin says there’s no doubt about that strange smell. It’s a ghoul. But why was one appearing now? Why was a ghoul in the human world...?
So Shin finds Yui, puts her on his wolfy back, and runs on back to the demon world. He comments that she’s awake and tells here where she is. He proudly tells her that she was saved by the great Tsukinami Shin. He says it’s better for her not to talk - He’s sure that she has lots of stuff she wants to hear and say, but she better talk to Nii-san. “I’m speeding up, so hang on!!” and more little wolf paw sounds
Carla, who was just chillin by himself, was like “Shin’s back.” Shin lets himself in and Carla says he’s late, and Shin’s like, “I thought you’d say that, but I brought her!” Carla’s like “Before that, explain what made you take so long.” and Shin’s like “Okay, okay, I get it. But before that-” and he pours some water cuz the poor guy just spent all that time running lol. While pouring the water, he suddenly freezes up when he notices that he’s bleeding. Yui asks him if something’s wrong, and Shin’s like “Ah? N...No...It’s nothing. You should drink too.” and he pours her some water. He fuckin chugs it, and Carla (who thinks he’s just stalling) is like “Shin-” and Shin’s like yeah yeah, gimme a break, I’m exhausted. Carla tells him not to act spoiled :/ So Shin gets to explainin’.
Carla’s like “...ghouls, you say” and Shin’s like “Yep! Ghouls! I was surprised too” and Carla turns to Yui and tells her to explain herself. Shin wants to know too. Yui explains that she had met Karl Heinz’s illegitimate child, who had been laying low in the demon world. Carla says that he still can’t understand that man...that man meaning Karl Heinz.
Shin suddenly asks Carla how his condition is. Carla’s like “My condition?” and Shin fumbles with his words a bunch before being like “no, actually, never mind.” Carla calls him strange and walks away. Shin then apologizes to Yui and asks her wait there for a while. When she asks where he’s going, he’s like “Nothing, just some minor business. Stay there.” and he walks away too.
Once Shin is out of earshot, he RUNS to the bathroom, turns on the water, and desperately tries to wash the blood out. He’s talking to himself in a panicked voice: He didn’t expect to see all that blood when he was pouring the water. “This blood, as I thought.........No, that’s stupid...It’s probably nothing.”
TRACK 3:
Shin shows Yui to her room, says she can ask the familiars if she needs anything, and asks if there’s anything else she wants to ask. Shin tries to leave for his own room, but Yui grabs him. I guess Yui asks why she was taken there, because Shin’s like “How should I know? Nii-san told me to bring you here so I did.” Shin gets sorta touchy, Yui tells him to stop, Shin asks teasingly if she’ll let the ghouls do whatever they want but she doesn’t like a First Blood touching her. Calls her annoying, says he only needs her body, etc etc you know the drill. He’s like “I’m sure the taste of your blood is so bad” and he tosses her on the bed, and he gives her the succ. The whole time he’s sucking her blood he can’t stop complaining about how gross it is. It’s an awful taste. It’s the worst. No matter where you drink it from, it’s terrible. ...But he keeps drinking it, lol.
Eventually he stops and he’s like “whatever, I’m done, that gave me a terrible feeling and I’m tired” so he leaves her alone for now. He tells her she should do something about the taste of her blood before Nii-san drinks from her. (What do you expect her to do omg) Then he leaves. After closing the door, he thinks to himself that (I think) while the taste of her blood was horrible, he’s anxious that he’ll be separated from her quickly. Shin thinks that he’s got Endzeit.
Carla tosses and turns for a while, then mutters that he can’t sleep. His chest feels heavy. I can’t translate this part very well, and this might be FULL of mistakes, but...Carla’s dying. The Shinigami are coming to reap his soul, so he’s reflecting a bit. There’s nothing he especially regrets about his life. It’s just that...he regrets not being able to save the Founders. And he regrets all the missing all those opportunities that came his way. Just those two things. “I can’t...disappear...yet.” Luckily, in that place (the demon world I assume) his health has been a bit better. So Carla thinks he should just stay there, and not move around too much. The Endzeit never left his body. But he’s thankful for the time he’s had, even if it was short. (Carla nooo...rip)
Shin knocks on the door, and asks if Carla’s still awake. He lets himself in. He says he has something to ask Nii-san. “...Don’t make such a sullen face. I’ll leave as soon as I ask. It’s about Endzeit...” He asks about how Carla got the disease. Carla matter-of-factly responds, “When I killed our father.” and Shin’s like D:
So he keeps asking his questions, a little nervously: Endzeit is a disease that spreads through the blood, right? Carla kinda grumbles at him, and Shin hastily makes the excuse that since that girl might have Founder blood, there’s a possibility she’s infected. Carla’s like “Are you thinking that I infected her with the disease?” and Shin’s like “Of course I wasn’t thinking that!!” But he was thinking that it would be bad if someone else were to get infected...”I’m sorry. I’ll leave now. Goodnight.” and Shin’s out.
Carla had been working hard to hide his sickness, so he wonders why Shin suddenly realized it now...
TRACK 4:
So Carla talks to Yui. He says that Shin is acting strange, and he wants to know if she knows anything about it. Yui heard Shin suddenly talking about Endzeit, and she’s worried. Carla talks a little bit about their past: “We had our mother, but I killed his beloved father with my own hands.” (ok carla when u put it that way it makes u seem like. a huge jerk) And (I’m a little unsure of this part to) Carla thinks that right now Shin is just waiting for his opportunity to kill Carla too. Carla tells Yui RIGHT in her ear (and I mean DIRECTLY into my right headphone holy shit) to close her lips, then says he’s gonna punish her with lots of pain. He bites her and sucks her blood, and he’s not exactly satisfied with the taste either lol. Then mid-sentence he starts coughing uncontrollably, tells Yui not to touch him, and tries to regulate his breathing.
When he recovers, he looks to Yui and goes “...You understand, don’t you.” He won’t be here for much longer. Carla says that rather than dying to an illness, he would have much rather die by his little brother beheading him. (Aw! That’s kind of sweet in a really morbid way!) He says to Yui that there’s nothing she can do about it - it’s reality. He then tells her very sternly not to mention it to Shin. He absolutely does not want Shin to know about this. If Yui breaks that promise, Carla will kill her. Then he leaves her there.
TRACK 5:
Shin can’t sleep either. He’s sure now that he’s got Endzeit. While he’s lying there are stressing about how he’s scared to die, he hears the flapping of an eagle’s wings - it’s the Adora clan, or however you spell that. They’re eagles, idk. He goes to report it to Shin. Somehow a bunch of demons figured out that Yui was here, and they all wanna get their hands/paws/wings on her. He hands Carla a letter from the head of the eagle clan, and Carla’s like “fuck it” and he burns the letter immediately. Shin’s like “uhh? is this gonna be okay?” and Carla basically says “dude whatever, we’re founders” and Shin’s like “yeah...the last two.”
Shin does the “tch” thing and Carla asks him what’s wrong. Shin demands to know why Nii-san told him to bring the girl here in the first place. When Carla doesn’t answer, Shin goes “To save the Founders?” and Carla says yes. Shin says that they should’ve done it sooner then. Carla asks him what he wants to say, and Shin says he’s been thinking a lot. Carla’s like “Don’t tell me...You want me to use that girl as a hostage” and Shin’s like “If you don’t then what use does she have?”
Carla confirms that she does have a use. I didn’t follow this too well, but Carla believes that Karl Heinz planned all of this out - including Karl Heinz’s own death - in order to create chaos. Karl Heinz always put Yui at the center of his plans, so Carla believes that Yui is the key to understanding Karl Heinz’s motives. Everything is planned out.
Shin: So, that’s why Nii-san told me to bring that girl here?! Carla: You seem dissatisfied. Shin: Of course I am! I thought surely, we were going back to the demon world... Carla: I never said anything about going back. Shin: But...We’ve just been folding our hands and waiting!
Shin’s getting heated. He shouts that he doesn’t care about Karl Heinz’s motives anymore, while taking his anger out on some poor wall nearby. Shin thinks it would be better to take that girl and go, purify her again, make her their ally. Carla cuts him off: “Are you going against the king?” Shin suddenly goes quiet. “If so, then so be it.” Shin: “Nii-san, are you trying to pick a fight?” Carla is DEFINITELY trying to pick a fight.
But wait!! Yui suddenly comes rushing in to stop them. Carla and Shin tell her to stay out of it or she’ll get hurt. She rushes between them to make sure they don’t hurt each other. Shin is like “Whatever, I’ll blast through both of you!!” but...he couldn’t do it. He angrily gives up, says it’s stupid, kicks something else, then says he’s leaving. Carla’s like “where are you going” and Shin’s like “I’m gonna handle things myself
He says with a short laugh that maybe first he’ll go get his eye back from the Vibora. Shin tells Carla that he sure is carefree for a guy with a disease, and that he could never do that. Carla says he understands, and agrees to take Shin back home on one condition (and Shin is so surprised). But he won’t take Yui as a hostage. At first Shin doesn’t believe that they can win in that case, but Carla affirms that they can. He says they will fight understanding that they might lose. He asks Shin if he has that kind of resolve. Shin says that yes, he does.
And so they go!! Carla tells Yui that she’ll be house-sitting while they’re gone, lol. And as he walks away, he says that he’ll definitely return home...sob. Shin thinks to himself that Carla planned from the very beginning to do it this way. He thinks that his brother picked a fight with him on purpose, and he doesn’t understand it. But he doesn’t care anymore, and he’s off to join his brother. He tells Yui that she better stay there quietly or he and his brother will be SUPER pissed when they come back. “Be a good girl and wait.” (if it were me then I would totally go through his stuff while he’s gone)
Carla and Shin are preparing for...the final fight!! (whatever that means) and Shin is READY TO FUCKING GO he’s so excited. He wolfwhistles to call the doggos over again and they head on their way.
Carla and Shin both monologue about how they’re both...fucking dying. But both of them are just excited to get out there and have that last moment of glory. Shin comments out loud that this reminds him of “that night.” Carla agrees and THIS GODFORSAKEN CD IS OVER please pray for them
