* portrayal notes + canon divergence for inoue orihime ;;

the biggest thing that i've removed from my canon is the endgame ship. while i do acknowledge orihime's feelings regarding ichigo early on in the series, as personally for me it's one of my favorite portrayals of unrequited love, i am content with it being just that and am not interested in writing it as a ship. moving forward writing with any ichigo, i will write her as having moved past those feelings and viewing ichigo as one of her best friends. please do not ask me to make exceptions on this.

that being said, kazui doesn't exist in my canon.

after the events of tybw, orihime attends art school and majors in papermaking and bookbinding. she also later takes courses that help her to receive a degree in order to become a high school counselor, helping students deal with life changes, grief, etc.

she later runs a small business; selling little plushies she's sown herself online and in small shops in karakura, primarily featured in urahara's shoten.

NAME EDIT: OOTORI SETO.

*modern / alt verses for takagi seto.

basically a non bleach verse, takagi works for a pharmaceutical company as a medicine developer. however, she soon finds that the company she works for is finding a loophole that allows them to market drugs that have not gone through inspection. becoming a whistleblower on the company, it becomes more complicated when her brother succeeds their father as the CEO of the company. the authorities ask her to be a mole in order to gather more information. she struggles now between fully turning on her brother and the company, or double crossing the authorities.

her relationship with her father is distant and nearly non existent. however, she holds a close bond with her twin brother despite them being very different.

in other marvel / dc / powered verses, seto has a sword that when it cuts someone, it causes them to hallucinate and gives her power over their senses. she’s inherited it from her grandfather. as it’s a notorious weapon, it is sought after by dangerous people. not a vigilante / hero / villain herself, seto is forced to protect herself so that the sword doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

in the above verse, her grandfather raised her. he had been a vigilante until he was well into his fifties. having retired, he had hidden the sword away. seto has known about his past and his vigilantism.

ISELDA'S BAND AU LORE ;

iselda's mom was a musician before her and would often take her on the road on all her vacations from school, cultivating within her a love for music. when it was time for school, she would stay with her dad. her parents never married and while they loved each other, never really committed in the sense of a traditional relationship, but successfully co-parented.

her mom wasn't a major celebrity but has what would be considered a cult following.

while iselda wanted to drop out at sixteen to pursue music, her parents urged her to stay in school. she eventually graduated early and actually took college courses, majoring in a degree in music. (specific field tbd).

during her time in college, she would often go to underground music clubs of all sorts. while she frequented the punk scene, iselda had a wide variety of interests and would clubs that hosted other music like jazz, funk, new wave, etc.

sometimes, she would be recognized by some of the scouts or older musicians that know her mom, and would be offered opportunities. while she was proud of her mom's career, she also wanted to branch out on her own and find a sound that was hers.

eventually, she would join a few bands/projects, subbing in for bass or drums. she played a variety of genres and had even gone on the road with bigger names for experience.

she also creates a lot of her bands' merch and merch for other bands. she loves sketching and has made shirts, totes, pins, posters, album covers, etc.

her first serious commitment was with the band, WOUND; an all girl's rock/funk band. they had an eclectic sound but often infused elements of funk in their music.

after some time (tbd), she leaves the band on good terms.

she takes this time apart to enjoy the freedom of travel on her own.

one night, at a show she attends, she watches drucilla (@weatherw1tch) perform, captivated by her stage presence and her music. they later strike up a friendship and eventually become a band together.

in nina’s cipher pol verse, she creates and assists in designing the clothing / suits agents wear in the field, as well as taking in any personal requests for anything they want to wear in their off time.

she, like many in the agency, was taken in at a young age, sold off to the world government by her adoptive family. however in a turn of events to erase a trail leading back to them, her first mission had been to murder her adoptive family, which she readily accomplished without batting an eye.

nina thrives in an environment that assures that she is untouchable.

while she largely works in house, nina has been field trained and is as lethal as every cipher pol agent, in house or in the field.

*lore for quetzal d. luna and the sky islands she's from ;

lived on the tri-cluster of sky islands known as ; Helio, Nyx, and Hesper. the largest of which was Helio which was orbited by Nyx and Hesper. the two smaller islands were constantly but slowly moved by a wind that caused them to orbit the larger. ( though the system is much smaller in comparison to skypeia).

these islands raise sky dragons that they regard as pets and working animals. one of their special abilities is to turn invisible and to camouflage themselves when endangered.

luna was raised on Helio, where the leaders of the sky islands reside. she's the third princess of the quetzal family.

due to folklore and stories passed down, they feared the world below. the rulers' children (luna and her sisters) were forbidden to ever step foot off any of the islands to visit the world below.

luna, however, the most adventurous amongst her sisters visits the world below when she's 16 years old. there, she meets various characters and is fascinated by the islands she finds.

however, she's caught leaving one evening and is forbidden by her mother and father to leave. it's their own fear that keeps their kingdom secret and why they forbid everyone from visiting the world below. most of all, there is a darker and deeper secret in connection with the D. that dots luna's name, inherited not by either of her parents but by her grandmother, who had been an inheritor of the name.

helio houses a poneglyph in a room in the lowest level of the royal castle. information etched upon this poneglyph is tbd.

at the age of 21, however, she is given her role in the family to lead the sky island armies. she is dubbed a warrior princess.

au's for iselda ---

shipwright / explorer au: as a flipped scenario of her main verse, instead of ending up with the navy, iselda ends up at water 7 after being separated from her mother. eventually, she apprentices and becomes a shipwright at one of the seven docks on the island until it is combined to form galley-la. following her knowledge about the destruction of ohara as well as the unlawful sentencing of tom, iselda's suspicion of the world government increases and her desire to learn the truth motivates her to one day set sail. however due to her growing attachment to the city and the community, this desire is put on hold until the strawhats arrive, and the truth begins to unravel.

medieval au: a knight serving as a weaponized arm of the land's royal family known as the celestial dragons. unbeknownst to iselda, she is the prophesied heir to the throne. this had been thwarted when she was a child when usurpers overthrew the last ruler and took in iselda as a young child, brainwashing her into becoming their knight instead of doing away with her. believing the celestial dragons to be divinity, she continues to do their bidding unquestioningly .

modern au: a journalist who endeavors to uncover corruption, greed, and unlawful practices in an otherwise "free" state.

other verses ( to be written ) ;

demigod verse: descendant of athena, protector of knowledge, retrieves stolen artifacts to their proper place, and protects hidden artifacts / valuables important to athena.

reaper verse: having made a deal with death, ferris is a reaper ( lol i forgot to transfer the info for these verses before i deleted the blog but whatever)

[chaiwrote]

brief blurb for ferris ; ( in place of a more in depth bio for now )

the youngest out of nine other siblings

the caine family is deeply rooted in organized crime. they have their hands in everything you can think of while maintaining "regular" jobs outside of their criminal activity to prove they are upstanding citizens.

ferris runs the family's financials alongside a couple others and works at his family's bookbinding business called 'inkquire'.

his underworld job is running a "cleaning" business. when you've made a mess of things, you call him and he and his crew come to clean up the scene of the crime of any shred of evidence.

* nina liu's op verse.

the petrovsky's are allies to one of the big crime families in the west blue. eventually, they ally with the firetank pirates, holding their place as spokespeople for the family in the west blue while they travel to the new world.

nina, however, after the death of her adoptive father, leaves the family and seeks to strike out on her own and building her own empire.

allying herself with the crew of the crimson dragon (my oc pirate crew), she travels with them into the new world to the island she was born to seek out the woman who raised her before she joined the petrovsky's.

there, she begins her business creating clothing that protects against devil fruit users by creating clothes woven / infused with sea stone that can weaken users. , as well as accessories infused with haki.

currently, nina operates in the underworld, known as 'the tigress', and sells these haki and sea stone infused clothing and armor, as well as various types of arms and weaponry (both defensive and offensive).

( a headcanon i operate on regarding nina is she has association with the vinsmokes ever since her and her siblings were young. their fathers were frenemies who often had their children challenge one another, etc. but, post sanji running away, so she never really got to know sanji until later on. she's particularly befriended reiju, and has allied with the vinsmokes sinec branching away from her family in order to access their scientific expertise to apply to her designs. she's worked on enhancing their suits and weapons as well. but, while this is something i personally headcanon, i don't want to push this on others, but if you're interested in these connections, please feel free to pre establish / ask to plot more on it! )

note : since leaving her adoptive family, she no longer goes by the name, petrovsky, and instead has returned to her original surname, liu. it's not common knowledge for her to be recognized as one of the petrovsky's but it is information that could be achieved through plotting out a deeper connection with nina.

*lore for clover d. iselda---

comes from a generation of marines; her father before her, her grandmother, her great grandparents and so on.

though her mother was not born in ohara, she's a relative of professor clover, coming from a family of explorers.

on her travels, her mother meets an oracle who tells her that she will bear a daughter who will bring ruin and chaos "at the appointed time", as well as revealing that she knows her secret as an inheritor of D.

iselda's parents meet when her mother rescues him after being shipwrecked, nursing him back to health. though she is wary of marines, the two eventually fall in love.

when he asks her to return with him to base and to marry him, she declines as she doesn't want to give up her life as an explorer and doesn't want to ask him to give up his dream to continue being a marine. she never tells him that she had become pregnant with their daughter, and eventually gives birth to iselda.

when iselda is ten years old, she loses her arm in a traumatic event that deeply affects her trust in others. more on this tba.

after discovering important information about the poneglyphs, iselda's mother decides to travel to ohara to get in contact with professor clover, bringing iselda along with her (15 years old). but, they are shipwrecked along the way, separating the pair. (fate of iselda's mom tbd).

her father is amongst the vessels dispatched to ohara to destroy the island. though he questions the orders, he is told that they musn't be questioned as ohara poses a threat to the world. among the disembarked, he is one of the marines who infiltrates the tree of knowledge and begins to burn the books. that is, until he finds a picture of iselda's mother on the professor's desk. knowing he can't stop the destruction, he keeps the picture along with a few items he can tuck into his uniform and intends to know the truth.

some time after this, her father also disappears, labeled a deserter. (more on this tba)

after drifting for some time, iselda is found by a marine vessel, where she is taken in.

after eavesdropping on a conversation between admirals, she learns of the destruction of ohara and also of nico robin, the devil child of ohara. shocked at this information, she endeavors to find the real truth behind the destruction as well as about the ponegliffs and history her mother endeavored to bring back to the oharans.

she concludes the only way to do this is to enlist and gain information from the inside.

she's at first trained under sengoku alongside donquixote rosinante, but later transfers to a unit under monkey d. garp.

more present information ---

iselda is a cynical and distrustful person. though she still has a love for exploration and culture, a traumatic experience resulting in the loss of her arm and her findings while being in the navy have tainted her world view.

deeply conflicted by her association with the world government. she does not view them as the pinnacle of justice and begins to doubt whether she will ever seek out the truth here. however, in order to gain trust with the right people, she continues serving.

one day, she receives a package from an anonymous source, containing the picture of her mother and the files stolen by her father, she's about 23 years old at the time.

during her time training, she grows close to donquixote rosinante, and after his death, watching how it was handled by the navy only serves to bolster her distrust and sows doubt.

rosinante, garp, and law are important to my character as the things that happen in their lives are pivotal points in her life. however, i don’t wish to push this canon on others if it causes discomfort. always feel free to ask more on this / and even pre establish if you do want to explore dynamics with these characters.

wonderland is a land of prophecy, a turning table of events that take place over and over again. it’s a fairytale land that isn’t sure of enemies and conflict. every generation has its own alice, its own champion who will ultimately save the inhabitants of wonderland and once again, achieve peace for a short time. in 1999, alice liddel is born— the alice of the 21st century. 

as we know, time works differently in wonderland—- it’s only gotten fuzzier as time bores on. portals open randomly, manipulated to be opened, and worlds / realms collide. wonderland is once again in need of its champion but it seems that time insists on getting in the way. 

the first time it happens, alice is five years old— she goes missing for two hours. her nanny is none the wiser as little alice races through the garden behind her home, searching for the white rabbit that beckons for her. down a hole she goes, only to be deemed all too young to be the right age of their champion. the second time, she’s ten years old. again, her absence is unnoticed. slipping away from the party, her parents had been hosting, she disappears through a door under the trellis in the garden that she doesn’t exactly remember being there before. deemed to young, they return her back again. the third time— she’s prepared to ask more questions, questions truly meant to get to the bottom of this. she’s sixteen years old. they dismiss alice as too young yet again, but she doesn’t leave too readily. they promise her that they’ll come back for her, and they do, when she’s 20 years of age. 

an aimless young woman claims to her parents she will study abroad, but she’s waiting out for the time that the white rabbit beckons for her once more. that, and— well, what use is living day by day so blandly? when there’s so much to discover? so much to see? she travels europe, then plans are made to travel to asia— but, she’s interrupted one night when a white rabbit appears in the night at her doorway. through the door, she goes! 

but, this time—- alice liddel has been missing for two years. this time’s absence doesn’t go unnoticed.
