So Azul can't cook that well but he can tell if a food tastes good or bad, does this mean he won't be able to tell if Jade added some forbidden ingredients in them....? 😏

What song best describes your muse?

What happens if someone praises their work? What happens if someone criticizes their work? 😎

Character Development Q&A // @fireandfae

What song best describes your muse?

Beth Crowley - Monster (Main song) Citizen Soldier - If I Surrender (Primary) Citizen Soldier - Better Place (Secondary) Masayume Chasing (Secondary)

What happens if someone praises their work? What happens if someone criticizes their work?

Generally, Jade doesn't take praising too much to heart because he essentially thinks that they make one feel good about themselves, they rarely provide any real value to the evaluation of his work. On the other hand, he takes criticism more seriously as he seeks to improve himself however he can based on the feedback of others. This, however, shouldn't be mistaken as insulting his work as that would obviously earn Jade's displeasure.

What is their MBTI?

What is their guilty pleasure?

What personal trait do you rely on the most?

Character Development Q&A // @hellefyre

What is their MBTI?

ENTJ-A

What is their guilty pleasure?

Jade loves polishing his camping gear as a hobby. He has a myriad of them, all for different purposes. He maintains them to the point that they look as new as the day they were bought is often regarded as creepy by a few people. Jade never reveals how he cleans/polishes them, but he could probably keep them for years.

What personal trait do you rely on the most?

Impartiality. Jade is just and fair to everyone he meets. He abides by his own rules and spares no exception to them, himself included. He firmly believes in the order of things.

Protecting Yourself from Fetish Mining.

The rise in fetish mining anons has become horrifically rampant over the past year in RPC. Unfortunately, many folks have fallen victim to them due to the nature of fetish miners. The purpose of this PSA is to aid in spotting fetish mining anons within the Tumblr RPC.

Before I continue, please proceed with caution as this topic is adult themed but is a PSA for everyone. I will not go into detail about any fetishes. To learn more about general fetish mining, and what to look out for, check out this detailed PSA by BeckiiCruel, and this PSA about fetish mining within the art community by BluSilurus.

What is Fetish Mining?

Fetish mining, within the Tumblr RPC, is the soliciting of fetish content through Tumblr's inbox via anonymous asks. These asks are sent without the receiver knowing their true purpose and without their informed consent.

People are allowed to have fetishes, but fetish miners thrive off their victims being unassuming and unable to give informed consent. Fetish mining is a nonconsensual fetish and exploits their victims into giving them fetish content.

What to Look For.

Fetish miners within the Tumblr RPC use the anonymous inbox feature to conceal their identity, evade accountability for their actions, and come off as nonthreatening. They'll most likely come off as playful and exploit the fun in receiving anonymous asks within the RPC.

Fetish miners prefer targeting SFW blogs over NSFW ones. Why? Fetish miners want to claim their asks are not of fetishistic nature and to deny the receiver consent. They rely on plausible deniability in order to continue sending asks to their victims.

Please note that anything can be a fetish. Fetish mining asks will appear as innocent as possible to trick unassuming victims into giving them fetish content. They can also be super subtle or extremely obvious. Here are a few behaviors and examples of what to look for:

– Persistent or fixated on the same topic, action, request, or question over an over again. – Pressuring the receiver to answer the ask/s in a playful manner. – Pulling or stomping on a muse's tail, limb, hair, etc. – Putting your muse in a scenario where they're stuck in something. – Transforming your muse into an object, creature, or adding new features. – Cloning a muse repeatedly over several asks. – Feeding a muse over several asks. – Tickling a muse over several asks. – Fixating on muse's underwear, shoes, or other specific garments. – Wanting a scenario of a muse's scent or smell in detail. – Any kind of bathroom talk, including the discussion of diapers, the sender wetting themselves, discussion of any bodily fluid, and so forth. – Giving a muse a kind of potion, magic etc, that will force the muse into their desired effect ( changing their size, making them pregnant, expanding or shrinking certain body parts, laughing fits, the muse becomes lustful, or anything listed above, etc. ). – Super detailed scenarios featuring any of the listed topics that is without any plotting or context. – And much more as anything can be a fetish.

All instances above have been reported in the RPC throughout the years. Here is a Google document with current records given by victims. Please take a look to see real examples of fetish mining. You are free to submit your own instances if you have the victims consent. Instructions on how to do so are in the document.

How to Protect Yourself.

If an ask feels off to you, trust your gut. You do not need to answer every ask that comes into your inbox. If you're still uncertain check with trusted friends, or cross check the Google document listed above. Block any anon that makes you feel off, uneasy, or unsafe. Set your own boundaries, but be warned, fetish miners will not respect them if you leave them unblocked.

If you feel you must answer the ask, take a screenshot, block the anon, and then put the screenshot and your answer in a seperate post. Remember anons must be a member of the tumblr community. Unless they have another account, blocking them will keep you safe from further fetish mining attempts.

If you think someone is being fetish mined please reach out to them and inform them. Victims rarely realize they're nonconsensually playing into someone's fetish. Victims should not be shamed or told they should know better. Stay vigilant and stay safe. Look out for your fellow rper if you see anything that could be fetish mining.

When you think this is Floyd, but it's actually Jade. I'm so into plots where Jade pretends to be Floyd on purpose 🥰 probably to leverage Floyd's reputation.

[muraenide]

Love the notion that if Jade were to be presented with a competition (love rival or business rival), his solution isn't to challenge just one person but to eliminate every single possible competition bc he thinks it's a hassle having to do the same thing twice.

[muraenide]

Do they have any daily routines?

Character Development Q&A // @ramshacklexprefect

As Jade is generally a very systematic person, he has a couple of daily routines. Jade makes it a point to put away stuff lying around in his room, and by extension, Floyd's stuff as well, which Floyd's isn't the fondest of. By the end of the day, most of everything and anything lying around would have been properly put away by Jade and could only be found by him. People think Floyd is an insufferable roommate, but the truth is Jade can be just as equally insufferable as he's incredibly stubborn when it comes to order and can't stand to see something being out of place.

The corners of his lips curl up into a more conspicuous angle, satisfied at the reaction he was given. Had Idia, in his flurry of panic, admitted to hacking into his interpersonal communication network? It was one thing to suggest that he did it, but entirely different to receive a blunt, unfiltered admission.

Jade chuckles as he leans back up, intertwining his fingers together in front of him as he puts on his most sickly sweet smile. He didn't know what Idia meant by 'DL'. Jade had assumed that he meant 'download' but that didn't make any sense. He's about to ask, but shrugs it off at the last moment, figuring it was inconsequential.

"How very generous of you. Would you require a device to carry out demonstrations? I would be more than happy to lend you the shared personal computer we have at Octavinelle, though of course, it could not compare to the supercomputer you have at Ignihyde."

A long, thin finger lifts to place itself on the tablet before pushing it slightly down, just enough for Idia to meet his teasing, playful gaze. "Would you rather not tell me what strange pictures and messages you've seen when you were hacking through my network?"

@muraenida -> continued

"Hrk-!!" Idia leaps back from Jade, not used at all to him being so physically close, and definitely not used to anyone whispering in his ear. Even after putting the distance between them, Idia can still feel the warm brush of Jade's breath and the shivers it sent down his neck.

"N-no... was nothing! Um... Messages..." Now his own face his hot, and the words he wants to say are barely coming out in anything more than a mumble. With what can only be described as in undignified gurgle, Idia whips out his tablet and holds it out in front of his face, effectively hiding behind it in an attempt to protect himself from whatever Jade had been trying to do.

( I just stumbled upon some weird messages and photos, okay? )

( If you want to go around blackmailing other people that's your business, but don't people usually keep that on the DL? )

( If you want some tips to clean up your tracks, sure, I guess. )

He speaks through his tablet for now, and Idia doesn't realise it yet, but his hair has taken on a pink hue with how flustered that one action made him. 'Oh, thank you, Idia. I'll be more careful next time.' How hard is it to just say that?!

[muraenide]

To add, in my hc, Jade is the first one to hatch in his batch of thousands of eggs while Floyd is coincidentally the last egg to hatch. When Floyd was newly hatched, he was smaller than the standard newborn and apparently very weak.

Though Jade only spared Floyd not out of sympathy or kindness, but because Jade realized he might be alone for the rest of his life in the ocean if he killed all of his siblings, Jade never complained when Floyd was showing signs of a defective fry. Jade even half-feared that Floyd would not be able to make it to the next sunrise, but Floyd ended up surprising him, growing up to be even taller and larger than Jade.

[muraenide]

me, finally getting down to writing jade's biography after writing him for over 2 years: why is there so much inc.est in the Leech family.

Anyway, this is what I will be adopting as canon for my Jade 😔🙏 They're a mix of canons and headcanons, or headcanons that are an extension of hints dropped in canon.

It's a bit on the heavy side for people who mainly enjoy silly things or slice-of-life, so please read at your own comfort. Of course, I added appropriate warnings before the heavy sections and they're more than welcome to be excluded during rps if we're going for something lighter.

[muraenide]

“Uhh… You should be more careful with what you send using public networks, you do know that it’s like, uber-easy for anyone to track and look at that stuff.” Idia is looking anywhere except at Jade.

T/L: Idia tried to find dirt on Jade and failed miserably because he ended up with way more info than he bargained for. WTH, man?

@stygia-n // Idia

"...Is that so?" A hand comes up to rest on his chin, his expression looks almost convincing as if he's going through some sort of secret suffering. As if he wasn't careless with his information online on purpose. "Oh dear, I must have compromised myself already for you to provide such advice unprompted."

Little did Idia know, that only Azul would concern himself with things such as data privacy. Jade never had anything to hide, and if it meant conjuring some drama for doing so he was more than happy to offer up any information necessary to put everyone at unease.

Why would Idia suddenly decide to intercept his network was beyond him.

Heterochromatic gaze falls onto the Ignihyde Housewarden's eyes. Jade takes his sincerity in and a strange sense of allure overcomes him as he realizes that Idia is actually serious about this. He means to genuinely warn him about the dangers of public networks, which Jade doesn't yet fully understand, but could not bring himself to care enough about what could be so dire about information he doesn't even value.

He crosses his arms and smirks. This is an oddly kind gesture coming from someone he owes nothing to. He supposes Idia wouldn't mind Jade pushing his luck a little bit. "Would you kindly teach me the dos and don'ts as a netizen then, Idia?" He hands Idia the power to give him orders, to lead him through the intricacies of an online presence. But no sooner afterward, Jade leans down to cup a hand over the older boy's ear and whisper something as if a secret.

"As an aside, I wouldn't mind if you told me what you've managed to find that has gotten you so shaken. It would be terrible if you and the recipient were the only ones on campus to endure them, wouldn't it?"

[muraenide]

“I do not know that I am the best choice for this particular occasion, but I am still most grateful for this opportunity.”

If Malleus were to be completely honest, he only vaguely understood what exactly it is that Jade had requested of him. Usually he was not overly fond of photographs, but as the advertisement was only to be used for the lounge, the idea seemed harmless enough.

Besides, he could not deny the appeal of being involved in the affair as if he were nothing but a normal student. Though he might not dare to venture near the gala itself, the satisfaction of participating in the occasion at all is enough for the moment.

His robes are not quite so airy as the other’s outfits, more akin to those he might have worn back at the castle. Perhaps he should have consulted Jade first before he arrived, but as the other had made no mention of his clothing yet, he assumed it would be acceptable.

Though it is not his reflection in the mirror that he is studying, but the draping fabric that hung on the stand next to it.

Curiously, he touches at the delicate waves of lace and tulle. He can not remember a veil being included in Silver’s preparations for the event, but perhaps it had to do with the advertisement.

“I am afraid I do not often wear veils, so perhaps you should be the one to arrange it.”

@fireandfae / Malleus

Slowly, his eyes move from the elegant prints of his handwriting on the paper to the Diasomnia dorm leader who has materialized into his office out of nowhere. His nib had halted their scribbling, as Jade's eyes were no longer focused on his work. Instead, they, along with his mouth, were agape with disbelief.

He had certainly sent that invitation mentioned by Malleus, but he had not expected such a prompt reply, no less with him agreeing to it.

Azul would place him on a pedestal for the undoubtedly near-impossible feat, but so would Lilia, except his fellow vice would have wanted his head on a spike.

"Ah, Malleus, it's a pleasant surprise to see you here." He stands, settling aside his work carefully as he walks around the desk to the fae prince.

"I wouldn't have expected such a mundane activity to garner your interest. 'Send an invitation to all of the students you think would look good in these outfits, but different enough to give a 'new' effect to avoid looking like a repeat of last year's event.' was what Azul clearly specified. I simply considered you one of them. Besides, I thought it only fair to include students who weren't chosen last time, we should all take turns."

His irises resume to observe Malleus' presence in the Executive's Office, which was simply a fancy way to call a pantry for Azul, Floyd, and himself. "Allow me to show it to you," He offers immediately upon seeing Malleus reaching out to touch the veil. "While I am not the one who designs them, I've received clear instructions from the designer as to how it should be put on." He chuckles. The original 'designer' had been someone from YouTube, whose videos Jade has spent night after night watching at every moment he gets — while he eats, while he's doing homework, or working on one of his terrariums or sketches.

"This specific veil is designed to flaunt your horns rather than hide them. It's a thought I came up with while studying the concept of veils. Do you happen to know that the purpose of a veil is to hide a woman's beauty?" Another human belief which Jade is endlessly amused to learn. He supposes that it operates on the concept of 'less is more', and that humans crave to know the full extent of things after being offered a taste of its enigma. He takes the veil from the stand and skillfully wraps it around Malleus' horns, fastening it with a few hairpins so that it appears to be an accessory of which his horns are part.

Finishing, Jade slowly steps back, admiring Malleus' look. The veil offered a similar effect to Malleus' cloaked form when he put on his ceremonial robes, and he could not help smiling to himself.

"Would you please look into the mirror now and see whether you adore such a look? Personally, I think you are perhaps the only person in campus who could pull it off."

[muraenide]

Jade would you fight a tiger or a komodo dragon?

He mulls over the question before a thought settles itself in his mind, realizing the implication of the question. Heterochromatic hues widen and he blurts out, "Are you suggesting I fight Malleus?" Comparing Malleus ( @fireandfae ) to a lizard had sounded like the sort of thing Leona ( @jinanreona ) would say.

Bringing up a hand to his lips, he awkwardly coughs. "No, of course not. It would be foolish to even try."

[muraenide]

boops his nose 😎

@jinanreona / Leona

A finger hooks around Leona's chin before there is any time or room to protest. Jade beams amused, tipping the older student's chin up to meet his disconcerting smile. "Now what was that for?" He teases, feigning obliviousness. Ostensibly Leona is probably just doing something silly, but to think the Savanaclaw Housewarden is being careless around them delights him in some way. Has he finally gained Leona's trust? Surely, he knows they were loyal to no one but Azul. "How cute, you must have missed my tsum dearly since they departed. Unfortunately, I'm not as tiny or as cute as a tsum, but if there is anything I could be of service to, I'd be more than happy to help out a fellow schoolmate."

[muraenide]

Just wondering, but what do you feel about your muse and their representation? For lack of a better word/explanation, (note: representation =/= gender) since one can go by any gender but may be either masculine or feminine representing. E.g. A female muse who doesn't dress femininely because it simply doesn't make her feel like herself or per character/personality and so she adopts characteristics/choice of attires that are perceived as masculine although she is born female and goes by she/her.

[muraenide]

Finally, a goofy icon and a funny icon.
