🌈 Hello! I’m 21 he/him 🏳️‍⚧️ looking to RP with people that are 19 or older! Looking for long term partners that I can potentially be friends with as well ♡

I’m looking for OCxOC rps, I’m more partial to MxM but I don’t mind other variations. I don’t mind double up’s either 💕!

No AI art or IRL face claims please !

My preference is that the rp features yandere (although I don’t mind if it’s instead just substituted with ‘Very Possessive’)*. I am more interested in problematic rps and toxic relationships. I also like the illusion that the relationship is healthy when in actuality it’s the opposite. (We can potentially both write a Yandere for each other ♡ ) Also I only rp on discord!!

*This is just a preference, *not* mandatory.

If I’m to play the dom/top in regards to position, then I’d prefer (not necessary!) if you play a tall character that would be assumed to be the ‘top’ while in actuality my character ends up being the one topping to break conventional roles. (Especially fun if your character assumes they’ll be topping lol) or even fighting/arguing for the right to top is so much fun ! Writing spoiled princess topping their knights or just the cutest twink topping the buffest guy is honestly such a treat 💕

Stuff I’m okay with:

Incest, DDLB/DDLG, non-con (big like), dub-con, enemies to lovers, furries, characters with animal features (think kemonomimi), age gap, watersports, open to other stuff that isn’t listed in hard no’s, omegaverse / a/b/o, monsters, oviposition, somnophilia, drugging, intoxication, virginity play, yanderes (huuuge like), obsessive behaviour (again huge like), possessive behaviour (huge like)

Hmmm:

degradation (we can discuss beforehand in regards to degrading because It’s not a strict no)

hard no’s:

scat, animal abuse, beastality

IF you instead wanna do CANONxOC double ups together, these are my fandoms! (I don’t mind whether it’s oc x oc or canon x canon or oc x canon either way!!)

+Genshin Impact

+Tokyo Mew Mew

+Secret Alliance

+My Hero Academia

+Spiderverse (but like… just Miguel lol)

Like this post and I’ll send a message!

(Also I won’t get upset if you lose interest in rp! Just let me know ! I won’t be mad, but I’ll be >:( if you just ghost)

give a like and anon will get back to you

「 personality & traits 」

Reserved even on the best of days, Marsira is more often a quiet observer than she is an engager in conversation. She's a decent conversationalist when spoken to, piercing the person in question with her bright blue eyes all the while. There is a certain kindness there, shrouded from the world at large in the shadowy fog of snark and sarcasm; kept safe from those who would use and abuse it.

Despite her quietness, there's an overwhelming aura of confidence and power about her. She's blunt, and by her own admission is easily annoyed by those who prevaricate or don't speak their mind. She does have her moments of frustration that can turn into fiery outbursts, but it is not a common occurrence.

OTHER:

Although this is an Alliance-aligned character, she won’t outright attack those of the Horde; she is currently far more preoccupied with what’s happening on the Dragon Isles to be bothered.

I will not interact/roleplay with minors or anyone under the age of 18.

Though I am fine writing characters in more intimate situations if it is appropriate, do not try to force ERP or expect it in any way when writing with me. Should you do so, it will likely end in a block.

I will not write with godmodders (ex. never misses a hit and never gets hit, their character is so overpowered that they’re basically a god and can’t ever lose, etc).

The Society Circles First Meet & Greet

At the stroke of seven bells, the entrance to The Society Circle swung open punctually. Within the confines of the prestigious lounge, members and occasional visitors gathered eagerly to engage in the night's markets and convivial mingling. Amidst these gatherings, individuals established connections that had the potential to elevate their ascent within the realm of Azeroth.

AAR - 13 OCT 629

After Action Report-13OCT629  

Information received from the device captured during Champion Brightmaul's patrol of 5OCT629 revealed locations for a "stockyard" and a "palace."  As the 'living' hostages were reported as potential slaves, I determined to attack the "stockyard" in an attempt to rescue said hostages. The "stockyard" was positioned in a camp guarded by a narrow pass.  Given that this was the only entry to the camp, stealth was impossible, and orders were to hit hard and drive through the enemies to reach the civilian prisoners.

It should be noted that this plan was high-risk, and Champion Brightmaul rightfully expressed some concern over that risk prior to execution of the plan.  Prior to embarking, I reiterated that this mission was for volunteers only.  A direct frontal assault on a chokepoint is never pretty, and the risks were apparent to all.  No soldier determined to opt out.

We launched our attack on the pass. Initial enemy elements were quickly overwhelmed, which allowed 1BN to pass through the narrow pass and into the enemy camp.

Upon entry to the camp, we managed to locate the hostages being held in a small outdoor stockade with one entrance.  Upon the alarm being raised in the camp, elements of the enemy launched an assault on that stockade, presumably to either terminate or relocate the hostages contained therein.

Sergeant Major Dymphna Hempstead and Lady Petra Farnal placed themselves, unarmed and unarmored, between the attackers and the other hostages.  SGM Hempstead has severely wounded and fevered even prior to this, and yet placed herself between the children and the attackers.  This action likely saved the lives of Steward Bubo and civilians Tony Hezekiel, Angie Hezekiel, and Lily Edain.

1BN proceeded to assault, clearing a path towards the stockade. 1BN was heavily pressed.  Notably, Champion Brightmaul was severely wounded in this assault.  Knight Brightmaul led the rearguard, while Corporals Hezekiel and Davenport assaulted the group attacking the stockade to aid Lady Farnal and SGM Hempstead.  Knight Brightmaul managed to temporarily revive Champion Brightmaul, who immediately expended her remaining energy in a massive effort of healing.  It should be noted that there are four soldiers and Lady Farnal who would not have survived this battle absent Champion Brightmaul's actions in doing so. A defensive line was established at the stockade while the rearguard patrol fell in.  During the course of this defense, SGM Hempstead, Corporal Davenport, and Lady Farnal were all critically wounded.

As the rearguard patrol fell in, portal evacuation procedures began.  All personnel evacuated through my portal back to FOB Flame.  Enemy elements attempted to portal towards us to continue the attack, however it would appear that recent modifications to our warding structure have rendered them incapable of doing so.  Several portal attempts were detected--none successful.

1BN managed to rescue the following hostages:

- SGM Hempstead - Lady Petra Farnal - Steward Bubo - Tony Hezekiel - Angie Hezekiel - Lily Edain Still unaccounted for are the following: - Kyrian Aeces - Ryder Vermillion 

I am recommending the following awards: 

Medallion of the Alliance SGM Dymphna Hempstead.

SGM Hempstead had no arms, no armor, and was severely wounded and diseased prior to this battle.  She stood in the doorway of the stockade, fending off a well-armed enemy element alongside Lady Farnal, to buy time for 1BN's rescue to succeed.  Steward Bubo, Tony Hezekiel, Angie Hezekiel, and Lily Edain are currently safe because of the selfless and courageous action of SGM Hempstead.  This recommendation should be reviewed by other personnel, as I am personally involved with SGM Hempstead, but I believe her actions merit at least this award. 

Royal Red Cross  KCN Keledry Brightmaul 

KCN Brightmaul, while severely wounded, saved the lives of multiple soldiers (including myself).  I can confidently report that without her heroic actions in expending the last of her energy, this battle would have failed, costing us the majority of 1BN as well as the hostages.  She sustained severe injuries while doing so. 

King's Cross CPL Prestor Davenport KCN Keledry Brightmaul SGM Dymphna Hempstead These three soldiers sustained critical injuries during the course of this battle In addition, I request that this report be forwarded to civilian authorities for consideration on appropriate commendations for Lady Farnal.  As she is my mother, this request should of course be reviewed by a neutral authority.

[waywardsalt]

so. i've had an idea for a warrior cats fanfiction story, and have spent the last few years hammering out characters, the clans, how they work, the story... a whole lot of stuff. i've tried writing it before, and right now i don't have a current draft of early chapters, but I did recently write out a scene from much later in the story, and i'm pretty happy with it, soooo... here! a warrior cats fic scene i wrote in like an hour a week ago

By the time she led ShadeClan to the Gathering site, Emberstar felt her anxieties lessen. Her foreleg ached from the effort of the journey, but she kept her head high. Beside her, Acornfall glanced back at their clan, then nodded over to Emberstar. He led the clan down into the Gathering hollow, and Emberstar padded over to the slope up to the leader’s perch. PineClan and CliffClan cats were already quietly milling about in the hollow, and up on the overhang she could see Lakestar and Wolfstar waiting. There was no MoorClan scent among the gathered cats.

              Emberstar made her way up the slope she’d seen Gorsestar and Froststar before her traverse. It was a thin path, slowly becoming steeper and steeper as she slunk closer to the overhang, finally reaching the steep, gravelly slope that led up to the leaders’ perch. Down at the base of the cliff, she could see Acornfall joining the other deputies with a polite nod of his head, and Troutfoot was carefully weaving her way through the crowd to meet with the other healers. Emberstar twitched her whiskers when Lakestar and Wolfstar noticed her. She crouched and tensed her back legs and leapt up the slope.

              It wasn’t enough to reach the top, but she reached out with her forepaw and sunk her claws into the loose gravel and dug her back paws into the ground to keep from slithering back down. She slowly inched forward, moving a kittenstep at a time, but she kept her eyes fixed on the other leaders, more determined than ashamed of herself. Emberstar forced herself up the slope, but her heart skipped a beat when the gravel under her paw proved too loose to get a good enough grip- so close to the top, too. What a shame she had no other forepaw to lash out and find a grip with.

              Emberstar felt herself begin to slide back down the slope, but a pair of jaws grasped her by the scruff and hoisted her up onto the overhang. She clawed at the grass and stumbled a step when let go and turned to meet Wolfstar’s amused gaze. “Careful there, three-paw,” the CliffClan leader gruffly purred. “It’s bad luck to fall at your first Gathering as leader.” She brushed past Emberstar to sit back down next to Lakestar.

              With a huff, Emberstar followed her with a shake of her pelt. “I appreciate your help, but I would have been fine on my own. I suppose I owe you now?”

              Wolfstar’s whiskers twitched. “Are you saying ShadeClan is now in CliffClan’s debt?”

              The young leaders stared at each other, then broke out into amused purrs. Lakestar rolled her eyes and wrapped her tail around her paws. “So, you are ShadeClan’s leader now, Emberstar? Or is it still Emberblaze?”

              “It is Emberstar now. I visited the Moon Cavern for my lives only a few sunrises ago.”

              “May StarClan light your path as leader, then.” Lakestar stiffly dipped her head. Despite the brusque words, there was genuine respect in her pale eyes.

              Wolfstar’s own eyes were still bright with humor. “You’ll be great, I know it. What happened to Froststar, then?”

              Emberstar narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze to the gathered cats. “I’ll explain that once the Gathering begins. MoorClan is late tonight.” She surveyed the crowd of cats, peering straight down at the huddled healers. Sitting with her back to her PineClan clanmates, Flarelight was sitting close to Troutfrost. After a moment, she gazed up at the overhang, and her eyes met Emberstar’s. Her eyes grew wide and she stared at her littermate for a long moment until another healer got her attention. Then, as if she’d seen nothing, Flarelight flicked her tail and joined the conversation. Her twitching tail-tip was the only hint that she was distracted. Emberstar blinked. She’d become leader so recently that not even the other healers knew, much less the other clans’ warriors. In the crowd of CliffClan cats, she spotted Sunscorch, sitting with his fur brushing Moonwhisper’s, his eyes wide and his body stiff while he stared at his sister up on the overhang.

              Poor Sunscorch, so softhearted under those honed claws and strong limbs- he was likely to take the news of Froststar’s death the hardest. Emberstar held his gaze, blinked slowly, and turned her head to the sky. The moon was nearly overhead, and still MoorClan was absent.

              “You ought to start the Gathering now,” Wolfstar growled to Lakestar. “It’s newleaf, after all, and if MoorClan’s late then they’re late.”

              “We should wait,” Emberstar sharply mewed. “This is my first Gathering as leader, so it would be disrespectful to me as well as MoorClan if we begin without them. It may anger StarClan as well,” she finished in a murmur, flicking her tail-tip up at the sky. Wolfstar just bushed out her stormy gray fur and huffed.

              Lakestar gazed up at the sky. Emberstar looked over at her. For so long, as an apprentice, as a warrior, as the deputy, she’d never dared to be so close to the cold PineClan leader. But now, she was barely a tail-length from the sleek silver tabby, and they sat as equals in standing. Lakestar was likely at less than nine lives and Emberstar was without a right foreleg, but they were equals nonetheless.

              She was knocked from her thoughts by Wolfstar headbutting her. The larger cat nearly shoved her off-balance. “Glad to see that we’re both finally up here. I was waiting to see when you’d catch up, three-paw.”

              Emberstar licked Wolfstar’s ear. “You know I must take things slower than you.”

              “Who’d you pick as deputy?” Wolfstar leaned over the edge to inspect the group of deputies. “Hm- Acornfall?”

              “He’s a good warrior. Older than me by four seasons, so I trust his advice and his skill.”

              “I thought you would have picked Lavenderflash. Or maybe Darknose, you two always seemed close.”

              Emberstar gazed down at Lavenderflash, spotting the pure-black molly quickly- she was almost certain there was obvious fondness in her eyes as she looked at her former apprentice. “Lavenderflash is… young and still training her first apprentice. She is a good, loyal warrior, but not fit to be deputy or eventual leader in my mind. And Darknose…” The tom was sitting at the edge of the crowd, alone. “He is a possibility, but he still mourns his brother even all these moons later, so I don’t know if he would be the best choice.”

              Wolfstar made a sniff of approval, then her gaze snapped to the far hill. A yowl rang out, and the three leaders pricked their ears and the cats in the hollow turned to see MoorClan finally arrive, led by Applestar. Emberstar sat stiffly until she spotted Glowflame in the crowd, side-by-side with Orangeclaw. He joined the cats in the hollow with his clan while Applestar broke off to climb up to the overhang, and he seemed to murmur something to Orangeclaw before she angled her ears up at Emberstar. Glowflame looked up and spotted her, and his jaw dropped open. Emberstar couldn’t help but let out a purr of affection for her brother as he gaped in amazement at her.

              Applestar greeted the other leaders when he finally joined them, nodding briefly at Emberstar, and hurriedly sat down next to Lakestar, his mottled fur standing up along his spine. The leaders gave the cats in the hollow a few moments to settle down. In that time, Emberstar saw her littermates make their ways through the crowd towards each other. By the time Lakestar threw back her head and yowled to signify the beginning of the Gathering, Flarelight, Sunscorch, and Glowflame sat huddled together with their eyes trained on their sister. Emberstar met their gazes for just a heartbeat and felt the final icicles of her anxiety melt away.

She then turned her head to watch Lakestar as she began to announce her clan’s news for the moon, and reminded herself of what she had to announce when it was her turn. She was ShadeClan’s leader, now. StarClan had approved of her. Emberstar lifted her chin and, with a deep breath, finally settled into her place at the head of her clan.
