ok buckle up boys

alchemist mc 2.0

- birth name; Baragsen ibn Bassam al-Irdjan (baragsen, son of bassam of the irdjan. baragsen meaning 'pride', irdjan being the tribe she originates from)

- chosen name; Izemrasen bint al-Aql (aql meaning intellect. she's not subtle and im not very smart)

backstory;

baragsen was born into the irdjan tribe, a nomadic people who revered the alchemical arts and saw silver as both a blessing and a curse. to the irdjan, silver was a neutral conduit, capable of catalyzing both creation and destruction. her father, a proud and ambitious leader, sought to uncover forbidden knowledge hidden by the gods, believing that such wisdom would secure his tribe's dominance. but his hubris led to a curse upon his bloodline, and he mysteriously disappeared, leaving his brother to assume leadership.

the true nature of the curse revealed itself only after the birth of baragsen, five months after her father’s vanishing. her arrival was marked by a horrific event; her touch could transmute any substance into silver, even her own mother, whose body turned into the precious metal and killed her before the eyes of the tribe's midwives.

unable to understand or control her powers, the tribe began to hide her away, treating her like a monster. her father’s legacy, now tainted by the curse and his arrogance, left the tribe in a state of confusion and fear. her abilities, a manifestation of the curse, made her a symbol of both the tribe’s broken traditions and the punishment for challenging the gods. baragsen grew up locked away, ignored and feared. though, her uncle, her father's brother, would secretly educate her in the sciences and arts when the tribe slept— believing his brother to have been right in his ambition, and hoping his daughter could one day accomplish what he failed to do.

years passed, and the tribe could no longer contain her, nor could they risk keeping her close. in their desperation to rid themselves of the dangerous anomaly she had become, they sought to exchange baragsen with an exiled mage whom they crossed paths with, a former member of the senobium, in the hopes that the mage might help her understand and control her powers. the mage, a figure who had long rejected the oppressive institutions of magic, saw potential in baragsen.

thus, the ex-mage took baragsen under her wing, not out of any maternal love or desire to help her, but as a subject for her own experiments— to explore her powers and perhaps use her to uncover further knowledge. desperate for acceptance and parental love, baragsen began to see the mage not just as a caretaker, but as someone who might share her desire for truth. they grew close as the ex-mage taught her to control her powers, and wield other forms of magic. for a while, she allowed herself to believe that she had found someone who understood her.

however, when she learned the truth after reading the ex-mage's notes— that she was little more than a test subject for the mage’s own ambitions— her faith was shattered. the person she had trusted had only seen her as a stepping stone in the grand scheme of things. the one person she thought would understand her plight within the suffocating hierarchy of the world only gave into the very same thing that expelled the both of them. so baragsen fled, vowing to never again be used by those who saw her as a means to an end.

she rejected her birth name, the shadow of her father's legacy, and the tribe that had cast her aside— and took on a new name: Izemrasen bint al-‘Aql, the daughter to none but the pursuit of raw, human reason— unclouded by dogma, by divinity. in her eyes, the gods and their influence were nothing but foolish distractions— and she no longer wished to follow in the footsteps of those who believed in blind faith, or illusions of grandeur. no, she wanted a world where humans need not cower under the gods, nor burn under the weight of something more. where humility and reason would be the utmost ideal of mankind. and she'll forge it with her own two hands, if she must, no matter how insignificant the change might prove.

her plot is unfortunately very similar to lachesis. i just can't NOT pull this lmfao. can you tell dr. ratio is an inspiration. anyhow, more trivia about her. if it's not obvious enough, she's a transgender woman. im weak for transness as a metaphor for monstrosity OOOOOOOOuhghn

- references;

her body parts themselves have slowly transmutated into pure silver. she has silver markings on her face like mel medarda (but not on her body), very art deco.

- age; 27

- pronouns; she/her, maybe they/them

- personality; rebellious scholar

- height; 5'3" / 160cm

- likes; folding origami (badly), high-quality fabrics, accountability, bird-watching, sly people

- dislikes; great heights, coffee, ignorance, authority figures, day time

- fatal flaw; her father's disrespect for the gods is her family heirloom.

- other; draws runes on her body in henna, often under her clothes, for easy spell-casting.

Karen and David: Carol stabbed them in the head and then burned them 😳 ep.2-infected

Mr Chambler: died from lung cancer then put down by ‘Brian’ ep.6-live bait

Lizzie: shot in the head by carol ep.13-the grove

Joe: Bitten in the neck by Rick (walker style) ep.16-A

Alex: Shot by Rick ep.16-A

Saddest death: Herschel. WHY DID HE DIE! HE NEVER HURT ANYONE! LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Happiest death: The Governor. Hmm let me see: he tortured Glenn, assaulted Maggie, tried to get Daryl and Merle to kill each other, killed axel, KILLED MERLE, killed his entire army, was the cause of Andreas death (but who really cares), killed Martinez and Pete (he just wanted to be a good person), beat the shit out of rick, tried to torture michonne, and I think I’m missing something... Oh yeah-HE KILLED HERSCHEL. That basterd deserved worse.

Best death: Lizzie. Lizzie was kind of a psycho and she deserved it a bit, but the main reason her death was the best is because it started carols whole ‘mental downfall’ thing, which is very important to the story.

Worst death: Martinez, I guess. I can’t choose Herschel since I’ve given him the saddest death so it has to be Martinez. Personally I think Daryl should have killed him because of their betting game thing in season 3

[of-faunsandyellowflowers]

I saw in your tags that you've had a tar spirit attached to you in the past? I've never heard of tar spirits before and I'd love to learn a bit about them if you wouldn't mind sharing a bit of info? Also, what was it like? How did you know? Sorry, I'm just super curious :)

@scarletarosa has a really good post that details what tar spirits are that will go into more into depth then I ever could personally. She also has more work with them and getting rid of them and other icky spirits that attach. They are one of the main reasons you need to always ward your room when working with spirits because they are tricksters and can mimick beings that you had intentions of talking to. Their whole purpose is to get you to breed with them, and feed off your negative thoughts/fear...so forth.

But my personal experience....I was actually coming out of being wiccan. I had been wiccan for a bit and realized it wasnt for me, I just didn't like how they set up things alongside how they classified gods. I also do not believe 'light' magic is the only form of magic. You iust....perform magick. Some with a positive intent and others without that. Questioning ones faith is a big thing for them to come cling onto you. I had always been lack on wards then, because I was 4eally questioning things and moving towards satanism instead. Anyway my mental health hadnt been too good. I've always been clairvoyant and able to see spirit (when I'm not blocked off) and started to see a black misty spirit near me. It started out small. The place I worked at was known to have a haunting there, so I assumed it was that. It....was not. The spirit at the market wasnt malevolent. It woildnt ever harm me. This was def different.

Over the next few weeks it made me have more meltdowns (autism), panic attacks so bad that even ativan couldnt help, it was...awful. legit awful. The dark thoughts in my head, the lack of energy even worse than my chronic illness, the panic attacks increasing to such a state that I'd black out at work....and I knew it wasnt my mental health because it felt different. Id hear it laugh at me at times. It made me think it was a demon at one point (again. It wasnt, as demons really sont have time to be attaching to me like that. The majority arent evil) Eventually it got so bad it was causing me to become sicker physically. I developed a raging sinus infection. Like....one where I had to have surgery to get it fixed bad. Polyps were in my airway, holes in my airway. I was so clogged up the doc said i was the worst case hed seen in a while. I even had STAPH infection in my NOSE. And thats what caused the holes in my airway. My IBS was worse, migraines worse, my hearing worse....I could hear voices echo into my head if someone spoke to me. It was reallt scary. Edit: I even felt when it touched me. Which was a very weird sensation like a sticky substance touching me then spreading on me.

It kept taunting me after my surgery cuz I was weaker, and I started to see that black drippy thing more and more. It moved closer, I could make out some details of a 'face', I started to hear it more in my head placing negative thoughts, wanting me to do really bad things. (Ps I am not schizophrenic. I dont have any mental Illness that causes me to hear voices. I simply am clairvoyant and these beings are powerful once they attach. Plus, once I killed it i never heard those voices ever again. Schizophrenia is also very personal to me as I have friends who are schizophrenic and they deserve all the love in the world!) And I knew I had to get rid of it. I still had that sense... so, I used all my energy every night to get it unattached to me. I warded my rooms, I warded myself. I did protection spells on myself, cleansing spells on myself, I did so many different things. Even ones where I would write sigils all on my walls and burn salt. In the end my close friend had to help me kill it off because I couldnt do it alone. It needed to be burned from the other side And when it was dead, I cleansed, and I felt lighter. No more insanity, just felt clearer.

I'll always have mental illness, PTSD, major anxiety, depression, all that. I'll always have autism and adhd. But THAT my friends....wasnt just my head. Someone felt my weakness and fed off of it. Their intentions to breed out more of them. I'm just lucky it didnt get to THAT point. It was close to it though.

I've also seen tar spirits attached to people. They look like this...black blob that moves on shape (can mimic a person) and it drips black substance. We call it tar spirits cuz they literally smell like tar, and look like tar. They feel like a suffocating presence of dark dark energy, like if someone dipped you in tar and it woildnt dry... I've seen one attached to a dude who had no light in his eyes in a walmart once. The tar spirit knew that I knew. The energy surrounding it was incredibly malevolent and he wanted this guy to kill. I could feel it. And it stared af me. I stared at it. It even hissed at me. I clenched my protective amulet and left the store. Went to another walmart.

Tar spirits are evil evil evil spirits. But again, def go to @scarletarosa page and search in her tags tar spirit. She can give you a better description than me alongside the other really shitty beings that can attach themselves to you and make your life AWFUL. Im knowledgable about spirits in general but not to her extent. Shes actually someone I look up to, as a person and as a witch. Shes amazing!

Hope that answered your question...thanks for asking it!.
