Terra is DAMN beautiful

[quaking-heartstrings-blog]

Cor didn't know much about her brother—being kept away from him most of their lives—but she knew enough about him to know he doodled from time to time and that he was typically diligent in following orders.

This, however, seemed new.

Lux looked rather confounded by this development. Cor watched as the ink bled into the page, noting that he made no movement of any kind to try and salvage it. She frowned. "Something wrong?" She said, finally deciding to make her presence known.

🌑  SILENTLY HE WORKED away on the report he was filling out. Pausing every so often to think over his memory’s and to see how to fill a section out. Which was normal, it did generally take him time to fill a report out by himself. He’d get it done eventually.

THAT IS, if he wasn’t sat here  puzzled as black ink now stains the white paper.  His hands are pulled away from the table, body freezing in place as his mind goes quite - unsure as to what he should do with something like this.

It’s NEVER happened before.

"I'm not lost," Cor answers. "Not exactly, anyway." It was more like she had yet to try to go back, though she probably would be lost later. She approached the blue-haired woman to introduce herself—her mother made sure to instill decent manners into the girl, even if she only ever interacted with one person regularly. "I'm Cor," she said, offering up a bright smile. "It's nice to meet you."

Lately, it seemed like Cor was being let outside of her chamber more often than usual. The girl wasn’t used to having this much space to roam, especially without a chaperone. The Castle That Never Was seemed to go on forever, and it didn’t help that room and hallway looked nearly identical. How anyone could navigate the castle was beyond her. Hopefully she’d be able to find her way back to the chamber later on.

Her eyes were tiring of seeing only shades of gray when a shock of blue hair caught her attention. Though it was a long and pulled back, it reminded her of her mother, still trapped in the Chamber of Repose. Cor couldn’t help but admire it from where she stood.

“Lux?” Cor asked as she poked her head into the room. It was rare for her to ever leave the chamber she was born in, and it was just as rare for her to interact with her younger brother. That boy didn’t get many chances to act like a child—not that she got any of those chances either.

She walked up next to the desk and saw the little Nobody nodding off. “Hey, Lux? Are you okay?”

🌑 HE HADN’T MEANT to of doozed off, a scatter of papers rested on his lap as his head titled forward. Maybe the child had been over doing it    —————  over WORKING himself. Whatever the case may of been, the boy did still have other duties in store for him today ( so now really wasn’t the time to of drifted off. )

[note to self: please update this]

♥to take to heart;;

♥ credits: since cor is a fandom-specific oc, i will be drawing her icons & making her graphics myself (aka Anj/ttehanashi/irrefutability).

♥ about starting threads & interaction: i’m out of practice regarding writing (i.e. haven’t done so in about five+ years) and am largely unfamiliar with the way tumblr rp works at the time of writing this post. i will be starting this blog as semi-selective. feel free to drop asks/submissions, but please don’t feel offended if i don’t reply. feel free to nudge me if it’s been a while tho if we’re in the middle of something!

please note that i spend the vast majority of my tumblr time on mobile and that i will likely be responding through mobile during downtime.

also, i made the unfortunate mistake of this being a sideblog, so if you see ttehanashi following you, that’s me.

♥ about tagging: i like things to be fairly organized, so i will be tagging URLs for characters and possibly threads if they are titled. out-of-character posts will be denoted by the tag ♥ [out of little hearts]. please feel free to ask for tags for any triggers. i will be tracking the tag unpetitcor for posts related to this blog.

♥ warnings: i will not be doing any NSFW threads, nor do i have any plans for any romantic threads for cor at the moment. i would greatly appreciate no god-modding of cor. i will not tolerate hate (anon or not), nor guilt trips or ship hate. please be respectful.

♥about cor;;

♥ This is a roleplay blog for the Kingdom Hearts-based original character Cor, run by Anj. Personal blog is ttehanashi; feel free to follow it, but it’s mostly a multi-fandom reblogfest.

♥ Cor is the child of Terra and Aqua, conceived some time after the events of the game series. (It goes without saying this blog will run on a Terraqua slant, so beware if that is not your cup of tea.)  She resides on a restored Land of Departure.

♥ Appearance-wise, she largely takes after Terra, with his tanned complexion, dark brown hair and clothing color scheme.  She also shares his great physical strength.  Cor has well-toned body. Her eyes are bit more like her mother’s, however, erring on a more purple-blue hue (though still darker than Aqua’s) and a bit softer.  

Personality-wise as well, she is a bit more like Aqua: sweet, responsible and kind with a good head on her shoulders, but ready to kick ass if need be. Cor is very protective of those she cares for. She always wants to do the right thing and believes that strength of heart will get one through the hardest of trials.  Still, she is fairly young and is subject to teenage whims and occasional naivety.

♥ Her goal is to become a Keyblade Master, just like her parents. Her personal keyblade is the Heartrender and she wears a partial keyblade armor on her left arm similar to Terra’s.

Cor relies largely on her physical strength, sometimes augmented by magic.

♥ This will probably depend on threads: Cor has a younger brother named Lut.  He follows Aqua’s color scheme but largely resembles Terra in his younger years.  He may also be following in his father’s footsteps, however unintentionally.  

Cor aims to be the best possible role model for her younger brother.  She is incredibly protective of her Lut, and will do anything within her power to protect him from harm.

♥ This character is largely a work in progress, and part of the roleplaying process is to help flesh her out her characteristics, so this page is subject to change.
