hello there hi! the name's Fog I'm a zoroark and I live in opelucid city with my human partner and his dragon partner and like a lot of other friends. my pronouns are she/her unless I'm in disguise and then it's whatever works best for the illusion!

our current battle-approved partners are Emmy the leafeon and Ada the glaceon and Basileus the politoed and Fish the ninjask and Vanilluxe and Comet the goldeen and meeee but only when I'm not borrowing my human's face to be the trainer. here's more about them. sometimes other friends join us though! and we crush our enemies' will beneath our feet!

oh and we're taking care of two skitty kittens nicknamed Taffy and Colbur.

//pelipper mail/malice, mystery gift, and musharna mail are on. magic anons are off.

ooc: rp blog for N's zoroark by @oncillaphoenix. probably mostly lowstakes shenanigans for now but i miight eventually do higher stakes things here? energy and motivation permitting. i have chronic fatigue so those things are in short supply sometimes

would prefer not to engage with blogs that heavily feature glitches, meta horror, or heavy fourth wall breaks. mun and muse are both adults but no nsfw please. cool to interact with any other characters though--sapient pkmn (obviously), eebies, fallers, etc.

see @lovenpeace-pkmn's pinned for more mod info and my hub blog @oncillamoltres for a list of my other rp blogs, me brainstorming/rambling about my characters behind-the-scenes lore, and occasional bonus art.

Games-based timeline, assuming the events of Pokémon Black took place in 2010.

𝑭𝑹𝑶𝑴 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑳𝑰𝑷𝑺 𝑶𝑭 𝑨 𝑺𝑪𝑹𝑰𝑩𝑬.

Within the Palace of Facets (which houses one of the most ancient reception halls utilized by the Grand Princes of Moscow) a Byzantine Eunuch stands to attention. In his hand, he grips a gilded staff topped with the double-headed eagle of the Roman empire, and, with obsidian eyes agleam, he pounds it against the marble floor. Once, twice, thrice, and a palpable silence descends upon the room –– jubilant voices replaced by the heavy reverberations of the eunuch’s staff.

Beneath the imposing twelve apses of the hall, a thrum of anticipation spreads across the Tsar’s Muscovite courtiers, their foreign guests, and through Alexander himself, who heads the bejeweled ceremony at his velvet-canopied dais. The eunuch makes a bold proclamation and Sophia, sister of Basileus Rhomaiôn Theodore II, appears. Silk banners fluttering along the walls of the banquet hall have seemingly foreseen this very moment –– the heraldic joining of Byzantine and Russian blood. Surrounded by the sumptuous iconography of Theotokos and St. Demetrios, the room glisters with the mightiest and purplest blood of the east and west: kings, emperors, and khans, each paying homage to the historic melding of two fearsome crowns.

For once, the prismatic eyes of Christendom have turned away from Constantinople and Moscow’s bloody past. As Sophia sweeps across the hall –– followed by a handsome dotal train of jewels, silks, servants, helots and troves of precious Bezants, laid at the Tsar’s feet –– she appears every inch the lamb to the slaughter. The eyes of the world are upon her, and upon the magnificent future encrusted in the Tsar’s crown. A glorious sunrise for both empires await –– yet this they know well: all can crumble by the close of day.

𝑰𝑵 𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑫𝑬𝑻𝑨𝑰𝑳𝑺.

WHEN: the evening of july 26, 1319.

WHAT: sophia of byzantium is first presented to her bridegroom, tsar alexander. afterward, a grand reception will follow –– banqueting, dancing, and courting aplenty.

WHO: all guests of tsar alexander.

pity his how illimitable plight ♦ who dies to be at any moment born ♦ whom crumbs of color can create ♦ more than angels fear to learn ♦ he paints with sound ♦ newly one moving cadence may release ♦ the fragrance of a freedom which no mind contrives ♦ every silence will not make a dream speak ♦ no millionth metaphor ♦ the simple agony of time ♦ a monster’s fellowmen

[ WITHOUT THE MERCY OF ]

without the mercy of your eyes your voice your ways ♦ my shining love ♦ how more than dark i am ♦ no song (no thing) no silence ever told ♦ it has no name — ♦ should this namelessness (completely fleetly) vanish ♦ the infinite precise thrill of your beauty ♦ my lost my dazed my whereful selves ♦ birds singing wholly

BASICS

Name: Kayin Kamau

Age: 92 (appears 29)

Birthdate: July 30th

Species: Obscurae / lilitian (previously pretended to be an escura)

Nationality: Perfrigida, Patria

Sexuality: Pansexual

Occupation: Pirate

Positive traits: Courageous, protective, lighthearted

Negative traits: Ruthless, aloof, combative

SUMMARY

When Kayin appeared seemingly out of nowhere in Etille, it was hard to believe their claims of being the child of a simple farmer who sought a life of adventure. At a towering seven feet tall and with striking features, they stood out among Ezians without even trying. But the most anyone could discover of their past was that they were the middle-most of five children, and had become bored of being overshadowed by their siblings. Piracy was their aim, their way to make sure they were never forgotten. And for a very long time (far too long for any mere mortal, had anyone been paying any attention), that was exactly what happened. Kayin most recently sailed with The Fallen Angel, spending 10 years onboard and helping the crew terrorize the eastern coasts of Ezia. But then the Doom hit—literally rocked the whole damn boat and sent half the crew into the water. Kayin got lucky, she washed up off the eastern coast of Arella, but she didn’t see hide nor hair of any of her crew after that. She made her way to Ireyne, hoping for news, but all she got was a welcome party of undead, which forced her to camp out in the capital for far longer than she wanted.

Then, of course, there was the whole debacle with the Divines, something that Kayin had intended to stay well away from. Not her gods, not her problem. But thanks to some documents uncovered in the original Ireyne Castle which singled her out, she was recruited to help command the ships that sailed to Mount Basileus to finish the Divines for good. She stayed well away from the fight, but this incident did rather boost her reputation in some unforeseen ways. Upon returning, Kayin was sought out by merchants, traders, smugglers, and fellow pirates alike, all vying to hire them on to their ships in various capacities. For a while, they hopped around some different pirate ships, but none of them felt right and inevitably Kayin would slip away the next time they docked in a town.

This went on for five years, until the planned voyage to the Unknown Lands went into its planning phase. At that point, someone tracked Kayin down to a pub in Etille and offered them an absolutely ludicrous sum to be their navigator, citing their namedrop in the documents found at the old Ireyne Castle. Equal parts irritated and intrigued, and of course very tempted by the pay, Kayin agreed. They served as navigator on the journey, surprising some with their intimate knowledge of the mysterious waters around the strange continent. And when they made anchor in Viridiula, it became clear why. Kayin is an obscurae who left her home decades ago to seek adventure. And now that she’s back on familiar territory, it just might be time to promote herself to captain and get a pirate crew of her own.

Dear Diary

Send me “Dear Diary” and I’ll share a single paragraph out of my muse’s diary for every one I receive.

Dear Diary,

It was my first day out  in this strange place, a place where there were tons of copies of people that I know from back home, but they were different from them too… I don’t know what to make of it.

And before I had time to get a handle on the concept, something strange happened. It rained babies. Well more like random gray thing were giving out babies to the left and right of everybody. 

Soon tons of monsters found themselves with babies. 

Monsters who got them were freaking out about it.

I was worried too. So I hunkered down in my cave, and watched it all go down while hoping it would pass me by. And it did. But dang was it crazy.

// I don’t know how well the second link will work, but if you had a rp account back then you might be able to see entries from back then. 

In the above picture are Asgore @basileus-hircum, Muffet @spiderdelicacy, Nice Cream Guy @nxcecream, and a Gaster I remember who had the problem too but I don’t remember who.

Congratulations, Val! You have been summoned to Moscow as THEODORE II. To accept your invitation, please refresh our guidelines, checklist, and send in your muse(s)’ blogs within (24) hours.

THEODORE II, the 38 year-old BYZANTINE EMPEROR/BASILEUS RHOMAIÔN has arrived from CONSTANTINOPLE. The USURPER resembles THEO JAMES and is both +VISIONARY and –UNYIELDING. They are a member of the HOUSE OF PALAIOLOGOS and remind the poets of a thousand golden mosaics sparkling bright as the sky-shattering sun; inky shadows playing across the face of a marble statue – perfect, unblinking, inscrutible; rooms tiled all in purple stone overlooking wine-dark seas and splendid green shores. In the annals of history, they will be remembered in the year of 1319 as a PLAYER. One day they may rise to greatness, though greater men and women have surely failed.  (val — she/her  — 21+  — est)
