WEAPON: A violin! His violin bow has the shape of a fine sword too
SUBJECT: Music! And drama class
SOCIAL MEDIA: I'm afraid he'd be a tiktok guy too. He'd share his sick covers and he'd be quite popular for being far too pretty and charismatic ohoho

CANDY: He likes hard candy! And also little puffy pastries with honey. Honey probably is his favorite

Valak's turn! He used to be a clan leader. He's a warrior, a legend, an hero. Lost a fight a few months ago which made him lose his territory and made him be exiled by the 'new leader' to the human realm. He's hating it so far, acting very bitter and a second away from dying of boredom (Second pic)
SEASONING: Herby, a bit spicy. He likes curry flavour
WEATHER: Warm. He doesn't do very well when it's cold.
COLOR: Blue! He also likes pink.
SKY: Sunny, Valak also likes when there are a few white clouds in the sky.

Hello! I hope your doing well and I hope you don't mind a few hcs of mine!
1. Kojiro used to play the guitar but stopped bc he just doesn't have time, while Kaoru used to play the violin but only plays when he's overwhelmed. They used to play together during high school.
2. Whenever the kids are at the restaurant after school and Kaoru is there he'll help them with their homework, even if he says that he doesn't like it (which is false he loves teaching)
3. When Kaoru is incredibly tired or drunk he gets clingy and shows Kojiro a ton of affection. Kojiro is the most physically affectionate out of the group while Kaoru is the least.
4. They are both masters at Mario Kart and Kaoru plays video games quite often. He plays a lot of Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Kojiro doesn't play games as much but prefers rocket league or cooking simulators
5. They met when Kojiro was getting on a skateboard for the first time and ended up accidently tackling Kaoru at a park and they ended up arguing to see who can stand on the board the longest
AWWWWWH I LOVE ALL OF THESEEEE~! Especially the one about how they first met! :D

I headcannon that Joe and Cherry really like Abba. Like in high school they would sing abba songs and ad*m would HATE it and they would sing abba songs just to annoy him and they know all the words to all the songs. So when they find out that reki langa and miys don't know what abba is they show them and end up just singing all the songs together. This also opens up a possiblity that Joe and Charry dance to "Fernando" together or something. I just like that idea.
YUS, I have no idea what Abba is bUT IT SOUNDS COOL SO WHAT THE HECK >:D

MB Headcannon for yall UvU
Kojiro likes cool showers, and Kaoru likes his showers hot enough to give third-degree burns.
So, when they take showers together, it's a whole knock-down drag-out emotional brawl over who gets control of the water temperature.

INFILTRATION: Shepherd's Flock \ Part VIII [Final]
PREV
===================
Temperance's walk out is unimpeded, reforming his human glamour as he rides the elevator back up to the basement floor, thinking about what he's found out.
He couldn't ask too many questions, as that would too easily reveal that he hadn't been sent to check in on their progress. And Gen, of course, began to pick up on that. Maybe, he thinks, there was a day where she would've freely given info for nothing in exchange, but her time with Charity has clearly taught her a few things.
Not to mention the distaste his sister has for him in particular.
However, he can trust Generosity's words. Despite his sister's influence, he feels confident that she lacks the manipulative nature to lie to him on her own.
Summarizing it in his head...Sloth, most importantly, was not here. On top of that, they seem barely aware that she's even in the city. Or was. Good news for Gluttony, in a way.
But they seem to be working on new developments in imprisonment rituals. Something the Father is apparently aware of.
He could piece together that the purpose, on the surface, was to more easily contain and seal away Vices. The use of which seems obvious in the grand scale, it would make it easier to bring about Utopia if there were less Vices getting in the way in a more controlled manner other than killing them.
However...He knows Charity. There is something more to it than simply that. Generosity may not even be aware of what the true purpose is. As much as those two love eachother, the black sheep is no exception to his sister's manipulations, even if the lie is only by omission.
But...What?
He strides out the elevator as it arrives, the lamb Entities he left on the floor, just now barely beginning to recover. They can't stop him from leaving, but they do glare at him and spit curses at his name.
Walking up the steps to the ground floor, the two he first encountered are there, standing and glaring at him. But they stand aside, clearly having received an order. One speaks, "Lady Generosity...Has given you permission to come and go as you please." There's a little venom in that statement.
The other one adds on, as Temperance steps past to continue on his way, "Don't mind the humans on your way out, we told them to pay you no attention." The human disguised canine just grunts and nods in acknowledgement.
So...He walks right on out, the humans indeed paying him little heed. Right out the front door.
The night air is crisp as usual, a little refreshing after the cramped space of that building behind him. He turns down the street and begins to walk, calmly.
Once he finds a private spot, he has a call to make.
--------
Meanwhile, a different call is made, to notify their significant other.
"My sweet Charri~!! Hiiii~! How're things over in, er...What was the place again...?
"...Oh right! Hahahah! Glad to know things are going well though! Will I get to see you soon?
"Ah...How wonderful! Oh, I simply can't wait~! There's actually a restaurant here that I found that I think we'll just adore!
"Mmhmm~! Just be sure to let me know in advance so I can make reservations~♪!
"Oh but onto business...Yeah! He showed up. I thought the Holy Father might've sent him but I dont feel very sure...
"...Really?...And you don't know...Huh...Not very much before , just current progress on the prototype. I think that...Whats the term? Investor? Benefactor? That you mentioned? I think they'll be pleased!
"But yeah, I told him that he could help us for whatever information he's looking for. May as well, right?
"...Oh come on, sweetie, Temperance isn't all that bad. Moody and quiet but...Well, I wasn't going to say 'useful', but I guess it works in this context.
"Yeah, i'll keep in touch! Why would I never? Okay!...Okay!...I love you toooo~! Bye, Charri~!"

DAY 4: WTN WEEK - SADNESS
There is a lot to be happy about on WTN but there is a lot that makes me sad and it’s great! I follow stories, I stalk threads of all kinds from happy to sad and well, these are the ones that have written painful things about their characters that have broken my heart.
zeke - losing his brother and then finding him again but not in the way that you would think. 
piper - breaking down as her world fell apart thinking that she had lost her best friend and how her emotions are so raw and authentic because she relies on her friends so much that maybe she isn’t sure of who she is without them. the world literally knocks the breath out of her when she is in a situation she can’t control and it’s really a treat to read.
andre - the pain of his past affects his mental health and though he is an otherwise happy person, he is harder on himself than anyone could be on him and it breaks my heart. 
jasmine - the girl who had to learn that the world isn’t exactly rainbows and sunshine like she had thought when she was a kid. watching her eyes open to the truth of the world is hard to read but it’s such a fascinating discovery at the same time.
dylan and winnie - the teenagers who just couldn’t get it right and they don’t get why and lash out at one another because of it. but also just winnie on her own being ...on her own because she has lost her brother and the only person that she felt was sane in her family. between an absent father and a vengeful mother, winnie is just a piece in her parents game of revenge against one another. but at least she’s being thought of...kind of. 
vincent and cesar - when one gets it right, the other gets it wrong and it is so heartbreaking to watch them go through the cycles, they really need to get their ducks in line.
oliver - an recovering addict who spirals because he can’t control the things that he wants to and he can’t be there to help the people who are extending a hand for him and ugh his current struggle is heart wrenching to read. 
penelope - a girl who has had a lot of happiness and well..it’s all being pulled out from under her feet and i can’t wait to see how she develops from it but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t break my heart that her fairtyale is a bit of a nightmare now.
james - reading about him losing his sister and then losing his mind and leaning on his wife and finding his strength to carry on was just...artistic. it was a work of art, really.
fletcher - this is one of my characters who has had a lot of sadness over the last year between a long term relationship end, a lose of a future, and thinking he might have found something solid after all that heartache. but then having that end because of her job and a pro/con list that he made. i really love the arc that has developed with fletcher as he turning from this dumb hockey jock into this caring, sweet, fatherly person. 
the bell armstrongs what they are going through right now in several different threads, with several different people, throughout the worst day of their lives is just heartbreaking. the worst thread is the one where they are together without henry for the first time. the fact that hudson looks like henry will haunt him for the rest of his days, the fact that talia has to face the world alone now...i can’t, sienna’s inability to cry because she feels that much emotion that it just can’t be showcased. it’s a lot and it’s sad. it’s really sad and it tears me apart. so these are just a few of the charries and their stories that make me sad but please keep writing them because there is a rainbow after it pours.

bron thots and hcs 99% harvested from rambling i sent to charri and didnt wanna retype yet
thinking about avicebrons workshop as i write. it is... a nice place to be i think. in my terms of nice. avicebron keeps it comfortably warm bc he likes it better that way. it smells like earth. warmly lit. there are various comfortable chairs because he used to just have one or two for himself and then he realized people kept coming by so hes just [sighs and adds another good chair and someone else drags in a bean bag or some shit]. hes got a bookshelf full of things. theres clutter but its an interesting kind of clutter and he knows where everything is anyways and the floor is cleared so ur not gonna trip over anything except maybe a golems whos keeping it tidy. its a chill place to read a book and if u ask nicely u can use some of the clay he keeps to makes lil figures with for fun. thonk bron: im going to make a place i like being in as a workshop narrator: this means other people will also like being there and sometimes hang out with you, which means you will be forced to acknowledge The Existence Of Other People bron: fuck. ive played myself
one day i will reread my source on kabbalah and itll be the end for everyone bc ive been interested in it since freshman year but its hard to find sources. and i have Thots about his golems but ill properly phrase them once im able to look thru my other primary source, for now i just ramble but basically his current golems except Adam arent like True Golems and even Adam is iffy because its moved past what a golem is
so proper golems are entities made thru certain specific magical rituals, and they are beings created generally by rabbis with a background in mysticism in order to help the community. a proper golem is highly autonomous and able to think on (almost) human level on its own, somewhat similar to a homunculus in proper homunculus lore but also, not. dont worry about it. i dont have the time to get into it. but one day. thats a threat. the final piece to animating them is writing on either them or an amulet they are given, which they can be returned back to earth by erasing the first letter they are, specifically, made to either help or protect which is why the reactor core thing is [singsong] bullshiiiiiiit
avicebrons golems are quickly made things that are more like basic familiars, as they possess a lower level of thought and dont follow ritual, the handoff of being less autonomy in exchange for being able to make a lot of them very quickly and easily so he doesnt count them as Proper Golems but he also classes them as More Useful For Our Situation Than A Proper Golem they can do chores and they will keep u safe but they also dissolve after a few hits
look the man’s disabled and he uses golems to make up for the fact, he doesnt need them to be durable or fully sapient he just needs them to do chores when he cant move his arms all the way and his back hurts
adam however (his NP) is a Proper Golem Plus Some. im ignoring the part where its like 'in fgo he also would need a mage or high level reactor to be its core' because thats stupid a proper golem doesnt need a core it just needs mystic words and some other stuff, but in exchange ill say he writes life into it using some part of his own magic plus whats drawn from his master, and the rest of Adam's unique reality marble ability is that it can pull mana from the earth directly quickly made familiars have mineral cores in order to like..... cores are the equivalent of when u pull back a ball on those clacker desk toys, where they keep going back and forth for longer than they should? the core jump starts the mana conversion procedure allowing it to create energy to move bc gems in fate are a good prana conduit
he can still do the thing of like. fuck i forget the word for it. earthbending. like he does in apoc where he just kinda draws shapes out of soil, but its only for various kinds of dirt. cant rly fuck with gems or metal but hes got bigass clay jars in his workshop full of dirt and clay and Various Rocks to make stuff ut of that he can control with a hand wave. it makes his life easier. bron vc do i LOOK like i can lift anything. i thought not.
uuhhhh other random bron infodumps bc i made other posts and then deleted them
no legge, prosthetics start at the hip ball-and-socket joint. arms yes. the second pair of arms is removable and attached to a thin plate that he can attach under his shoulders. the secondary shoulder joint is technically hypermobile and its easier to dematerialize/rematierialize them instead of putting them on and off. theyre usually not out unless he needs them for something. he is ambidextrious with all four of them and will show off in the name of efficient multitasking.
got a lotta facial scars from having acne as a young adult. pockmarks and the like. on top of his whole body being fucky.
does not like the cold!! makes both his physical and prosthetic joints feel stiff. will not mention it but will just [slowly recedes further into his cloak]
his hair is not as fun as it looks (to me). he hates having a body in general and so he will intentionally refuse to care for any non-prosthetic part of himself properly for it until it gets bad, so his hair is generally kinda dry and messy. its not Bad bad but its not great.
he takes better care of his fake legs than he does the parts of his body he cant replace and u should yell at him for it.
his cloak is also not as heavy as it looks like it should be. its carefully balanced. he can and will however bonk you with the pointy bits if you stand too close to him. forcibly mandated 4-ft personal bubble.
THIS MAN CLICK CLACKS WHEN HE MOVES AND I DONT CARE WHAT APOCS LACK OF SOUND EFFECTS TRIES TO IMPLY. this man WILL go click clack between his feet and the metal decoration thingies on his cloak bonking each other.
people who know shit about golem lore feel free to tell me all my books are packed but thoughts ping like ping-pongs
actually just tell me about folklore in general from any of u i like legends and mysticism 
if u have read this far tell me about some of ur folklore

Welcome (again) to the Order of the Phoenix, Amos!
You have been accepted for the role of non-biography character MAURICE CREEVEY with the faceclaim of Tom Sturridge! We really enjoyed reading through your application! The idea of a Muggleborn character who is actually not all that excited about going to Hogwarts is awesome! He’s resentful that he was taken away without a choice - resentful that he can’t go back and be the same person. We’re so thrilled to have him as an addition to the cast!
Please take a look at the new member checklist and send in your account within 24 hours! Thank you for joining the fight against Voldemort!
OUT OF CHARACTER:
NAME: Amos
AGE: 22
TIMEZONE: GMT
ACTIVITY LEVEL: You already have a pretty good idea of my activity. There is also plenty of time when I’m around and could be writing but I am either caught up on Fab or don’t have quite the right muse for him, so hopefully this new charrie can fill those gaps!
ANYTHING ELSE: nope
CHARACTER DETAILS:
NAME: Maurice Creevey
AGE: 24
GENDER, PRONOUNS, and SEXUALITY: Male, He/Him, Homosexual. Gender isn’t something he’s really ever thought about. He’s pretty content in that respect. He is quite unapologetically gay though.
BLOOD STATUS: Muggleborn
HOUSE ALUMNI: Ravenclaw
ANY CHANGES: This is where you can request a FC change or a change from something in the skeleton bio.
CHARACTER BACKGROUND:
PERSONALITY: 
To sum Maurice up very concisely, he’s angry. He hasn’t always been. He was a relatively happy go lucky child, full of endless energy and enthusiasm. Then he was plucked from his life and sent away to a school to learn magic. At first that was pretty cool, after all, every 11 year old wishes they had magical abilities, the difference being they get to grow up and forget those wishes and live normal lives. He has to live with his childish fantasies for the rest of his life. And apart from that, he appears to be in a world where muggleborns are being hunted and killed by an evil wizard and his crazy cult. To make things worse, they can’t escape back to their muggle lives because of all the damn secrecy laws. So yes, he’s angry, and a lot of his actions are fueled by that. Make no mistake though, Maurice is no Gryffindor, he doesn’t use his anger in brash reckless ways, he is more calculated. You may catch it crackling under the surface occasionally, but it would take a lot to make him properly explode. Even slurs like ‘mudblood’ would only make him roll his eyes and perhaps give a snarky retort.
Maurice is a Ravenclaw. He is a big believer that knowledge is power. He did fairly well at his subjects in Hogwarts considering he didn’t try all that hard. He did not choose this path and as a consequence, resented it. He would often get his brother who was a few years older, to send him muggle textbooks when he’d finished with them. He was fascinated by science and maths and history. Of course he had some curiosity for his lessons at Hogwarts, and the things he and his magic was capable of, but the element of choice was important for him. It felt like by attending Hogwarts, a whole area of understanding was suddenly off limits. As anyone knows, forbidden knowledge is the most desirable.
He likes to ask questions about as much as any other Ravenclaw, but he is also a big observer. He likes to take time to gather information before jumping into a lot of things, especially interactions with other people. He by no means stalks people, but a few minutes, to watch, take someone in, before starting a conversation is quite usual for him. It’s all about making informed choices.  As a consequence, unexpected interactions can throw him, making him more awkward than he’d like.
He can be arrogant, he has a conviction in his beliefs that can come across as condescension if viewed the wrong way. He can get frustrated when someone is not following his thinking quite as quickly as he’d like, which is why he’d make a terrible teacher. However, this works equally in the opposite direction. His frustration can be palpable when he doesn’t understand something, and these moments are when he is least in control. A lot of his acts of protest come from anger, sure, but also the frustration of not being able to fathom how things got so bad, why they can’t just make them better now, why people can’t see it for themselves. But usually he is quiet. Unless he is invited to speak, or is so damn angry the words won’t stop, he can keep his thoughts to himself until someone is listening and his words can have an impact.
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF FAMILY: 
Until the age of 11 Maurice grew up in a very normal, working class family in the midlands. His mother was a typical housewife, loving but somewhat distracted, staring out of windows whilst doing the washing up, leaving the dinner in slightly too long when listening to the radio. Maurice didn’t mind, he barely noticed, and she was excellent at bedtime stories, so what was there to complain about? His father was a miner, a tough, but humorous man. He worked hard, and he always came home dirty, but played football with them in the garden the weekends.
He has one older brother. Not the brightest bulb, but the kindest person Maurice knows. Maurice always thought him brave, in a quiet way. There is no one Maurice has ever looked up to quite like his big brother, even if they squabbled and scrapped as much as any other loving siblings.
Perhaps this happy set up, along with glowing school reports and a nice bunch of friends, was why he has always resented being ripped from that life and that path. 
When he was a child, he dreamed of being an astronaut, an archaeologist, a doctor, a lawyer, and what’s more, none of these were stretches for him, with his brain and desire for learning, he could have done it, he could have gotten out of the rows and rows of back to back terraced houses that he and his family were confined to. He could have taken them with him. But he was torn away and sent to Hogwarts, and his parents only vaguely understood, were proud, but in a distant way. His brother became a milkman, a job he enjoyed, but not one that paid well. He married young, his school sweetheart, and they are expecting their first child. They all seem happy enough, they have the things that matter, enough food to eat, a roof over their head, love, but Maurice can’t help but feel he could have saved them. The terror of living paycheck to paycheck, the mundanity of their terraced hells, or just never being able to treat yourself to that little bit extra. He remembered as a child, when his father would be on strike, the unspoken fear that filled up their home. He had wanted to save them from that.
When he would return home for the summer, he would act like nothing had changed, he wouldn’t speak of Hogwarts, or of his magic. He would pretend like he was no different from them, but something had changed and something had broken, and eventually he realised that something couldn’t be fixed. Getting his Hogwarts letter had been the beginning of the end for Maurice. He hated it when summer would end and he’d have to go back, but he also hated going home in the first place.
OCCUPATION: 
Maurice works as a sound engineer at the Wizarding Wireless Network. It was not something he expected of himself, more something he fell into. A job at the Ministry would have gone against all his principals. A deep hatred for ‘the man’ but also the wizarding world in general, he wasn’t about to go work in a place trying to keep it all ticking over, and bore himself to death in the process.
He considered more academic positions, but he’d had a hard enough time concentrating at Hogwarts. Trawling magical forests for new flora and fauna, or raiding tombs and breaking their curses had no appeal to him. Which largely left working class positions or the arts. It was not a tricky decision.
The newspaper was an option, but the fact that the Daily Prophet seemed to have a monopoly on journalism in wizarding Britain didn’t sit well with Maurice. Without another widely available newspaper to oppose their horribly biased reporting, what was the point? He would not be a puppet for their propaganda. For a while, he tried to write his own pieces, publish them independently, but that wasn’t entirely successful. The pieces were convoluted, preachy, and he had no audience, no one to either agree nor criticise him.
Eventually he wound up at the Wizarding Wireless Network. Again, it irked him that there was only one major company broadcasting, but at least they had a bit more variation, and whilst they did broadcast the news, the purpose leaned towards entertainment. It’s not a cause Maurice is particularly passionate for, but it’s not one he opposes.
As a sound engineer, he’s around for recordings and broadcasts, cleans up pre recorded audio, fixes equipment, just whatever needs doing that seems like it fit within his job title. Most of it he learned on the job, but it was fascinating enough to capture his attention, and similar enough to muggle radio not to infuriate him. It also introduced him to the world of pirate radio.
About 2 years after he started at WWN, his friend and mentor quit, and in his last few days, confided in Maurice that he was leaving to start his own show. Technically WWN was the only official broadcaster on wizarding radios, but if you knew how to get a frequency, you could broadcast whatever you liked. He and some friends were setting up a station out of someone’s garage, mostly to play the music the WWN spurned.
The idea lit a flame in Maurice. Of course, the fact that it was ever so slightly against the rules, and possibly the law, made it exciting. But the idea of broadcasting whatever he liked, even if there was no one listening, putting something out there, finite and unique.
So that’s what he does with his evenings at the weekends, he broadcasts late into the night and the early mornings. The Order gives him a focus, not just long rambling opinion pieces that sounds like the inner thoughts of a paranoid conspiracy theorist. He has found a purpose now. His show, it helps spread news, it helps spread information, it helps spread hope. Of course there is the tricky business of making sure the wrong ears don’t hear it, but he’s a smart guy, there’s a way around everything.
ROLE WITHIN THE ORDER/THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ORDER: 
Maurice joined the Order with best friend, Daisy Hookum. He was at the same Squib’s Rights March, right in the middle of the rioting, and landed square in the Order’s gaze because of it.
Maurice has always been an activist, even before graduating Hogwarts, he would hold small demonstrations, conquering whatever stage fright he might have for the greater good. Standing up on tables at breakfast to make impassioned speeches, chaining himself to statues and refusing to go to class, he even came very close to slashing a painting once before the painting’s occupant managed to talk him out of it.
Maurice has taken a lot of inspiration from muggle strikes and demonstration techniques. He remembers picket lines from his childhood, and grew up with the punk movement. He even had a bright red mohawk once before Daisy told him it really didn’t suit him.
These energies are what he hoped to bring to the Order. He recognises that Voldemort and the Death Eaters are the main enemy, but in his eyes, the Ministry are accomplices, and he feels just as violently about them. The Death Eaters may be the ones directly killing people, but the Ministry are letting them do it, even helping them to a certain degree. The fact that so many squeaky clean Ministry employees come to the Order to ‘do their part’ indicates to him, that there are just as many who are going over to Voldemort for the same reason. He wishes more of their actions were against the Ministry directly, but he can also do that in his own time.
Day to day, Maurice is generally a pretty good foot soldier, he isn’t crazy about the actual violence part, but he’ll do it if he has to. He’d like a louder voice at the table, but he knows how these things work, and he knows too many cooks spoil the broth. The fact that they are organised is enough for him. There is a system, and if he ever feels he needs to take something to the top, then he knows how to do that.
He has also brought his pirate radio platform to the Order. It’s a good way to spread news to people such as those being helped by the dissendium task force, and a good way to organise large groups of people. And also quite simply, it can raise spirits. Assuming that people tune in to listen. Maurice doesn’t think it’s quite being used to its full potential, but it’s getting there. The Order function on secrecy, whereas Maurice wants to inform the masses. There is clearly a conflict of interest. 
(I see this radio show as being very similar to the Potterwatch of the second wizarding war, and if it isn’t quite at that structure yet, then building it up to that during the game.)
I think although he is happy to fight with the Order, and be on the front line of the fight against You-Know-Who, his main motives are doing something about the International Statute of Secrecy, even if he is a little distracted by other things and other causes, it all really comes back to him having the choice to fight, to flee, to live his life where he pleases, taking the elements of both cultures and combining them. And he wants that choice for others as well. A lot of his anger and frustration is on a very personal selfish level, but he does recognise that he’s fighting this cause for people other than himself.
SURVIVAL: 
Being both muggleborn and publicly vocal in his opinions, does put a bit of a target on Maurice’s back. He’s had a few close scrapes in the past, but luckily that’s as much as they were. Making enemies with a lot of purebloods perhaps isn’t the most efficient way to survive this war. He doesn’t move around a lot, thankfully he’s never been traced to his home address and he wants to keep it that way. He rents a little place in Muggle London, clean and comfortable enough, but out of the way and non-descript. He wards it heavily, and takes great lengths to make sure he isn’t followed home.
He isn’t too bad at dueling, but it isn’t his greatest strength. Mostly he relies on quick thinking rather than brute strength. And paranoia. He’s seen what the other side is capable of, and he’s heard enough of Moody’s lecture like speeches to know how to watch his back.
Still, he can lay awake many nights, realising there that if he continues to fight like this, there is a large chance he won’t survive the war. Is it worth it? He usually falls asleep before reaching a conclusive answer. Needless to say, as a 24 year old, he is terrified of dying. He is just also too angry to let that stop him.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Daisy Hookum: Friends since first year, he and Daisy have a special bond. There are very few people who know him as closely as Daisy knows him. Even his family, who he loves dearly, can’t understand him the way Daisy does. They may have been brought together by class timetables and group projects, but what bonded them was their shared views of the world. Particularly as they got older, they could talk for hours and hours about their politics. They didn’t always agree on every point, but respected each other enough to hear the other out. Of course this wasn’t the only thing that kept them friends. They could have fun together, let loose, forget for a little while that things were so bad, forget how angry they were.
They joined the Order together, as they did so much together. But then Daisy left for her year in the muggle world. Since then the relationship has been strained. He understood better than most what she was trying to do, but the reality is still that he felt abandoned, and jealous, that she could go off and live her ‘muggle’ life. It’s become obvious since her return that Maurice’s idea of activism is now split from hers. She wants to take a more passive role, and Maurice couldn’t bear that.
Caradoc Dearborn: Caradoc is someone Maurice begrudgingly looks up to. On the one hand he is everything he despises, wealthy and pure blooded. But the way he conducts himself is something that Maurice admires. He can’t help but want to be in Caradoc’s good books. If he had an issue within the Order, he would most likely take it to Caradoc.
Mary MacDonald: Mary is a more recent friend. They were a few years apart at Hogwarts and so only got to know each other after they both joined the Order. A lot of Mary’s politics match up with Maurice’s, and apart from that they are very compatible on a personal level. She is one of the lucky few Maurice has let in. Of course it helps that she is muggle-born as well, he feels that with so few of them inside the Order, they really have to stick together.
He has never been the most social of people. It is not that he doesn’t enjoy company, more that he doesn’t settle. If he is going to spend time with someone, properly invest in them, he wants to be sure they are the right person. He does not do this consciously you understand, but he is constantly assessing and reassessing the people in his life. First impressions, as he’s found, are often misleading, but that doesn’t mean doesn’t heed them. He’s more inclined to search out the red flags than give someone the benefit of the doubt. The people who slip through the cracks however, get the best of him. The warmth, the wit, everything he’s been desperately been bottling up waiting for the right vessel to pour it into.
Generally, Maurice is going to feel some animosity for the richer, pure blooded members of the order, but he’ll tolerate them. He’s also going to be fairly uninterested in those who aren’t as active in the cause, or any cause for that matter. So maybe he’s made a few enemies within the Order, or at least brushed some people the wrong way. Or perhaps he’s been pleasantly surprised by others.
OOC EXPLORATION:
SHIPS/ANTI-SHIPS: No ships or antiships, I’m really open to anything. I do see Maurice as gay, so I think relationships with women would be unlikely, but I’m a sucker for some unrequited love plots, or maybe some confused one night stands. Basically anything is on the table.
WHAT PRIVILEGES AND BIASES DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE?
Well Maurice is a white male, so let’s start with that. I don’t think feminism is high up on his rank of causes, or racism, simply because I don’t think it’s played a huge role within his personal life experience. He probably doesn’t even realise a lot of the privileges he has as a white man.
He’s also gay, and whilst he is quite unapologetic about that, his sexuality seemed to be more of an issue in his muggle life than in the wizarding world, so it isn’t something he feels the need to fight about all the time. Again there are more important causes right now.
As a person who grew up in a working class family, he generally just resents the wealthy, and he won’t give them much chance to prove themselves to him either. This definitely stems from growing up poor, but perhaps if he’d been able to make his own fortune and save his family from their poverty, then he wouldn’t feel as strongly. In that sense it’s quite hypocritical. Now it’s also tied to the fact that the wealthy are the ones in control, both in the Death Eaters and their reign of terror, and at the Ministry, making and enforcing the laws that keep them all trapped and helpless. It hasn’t missed his attention that most of the wealthier wizards are pureblooded, so he’ll often lump them in with his disdain.
This works the other way as well. He’s willing to overlook a lot of shit that his working class/muggle born acquaintances get up to, forgive a lot of their sins. I don’t think he realises he does this, but it certainly happens.
He doesn’t necessarily hate the people who work for the Ministry, even if he has a dislike for the establishment and the way it’s run. He understands everyone has to work, and most don’t get the privilege of doing something they like or agree with entirely. There is a bit of time though where he’ll figure out their motives before he really trusts or likes them.
Law enforcement isn’t particularly in his good books either, but that is perhaps more linked to his view of how muggle police act towards protests and demonstrations.
When it comes to the issues of half-breeds, he’ll go along to the marches, he’ll sign the petitions, he’s probably up to date on all the latest views and opinions, but again, it’s not at the top of his priorities.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? You already know I love this roleplay. I’m looking forward to being more active hopefully, interacting with a wider range of characters, playing someone who is quite different to Fab as well and stretching those writing muscles.
PLOT DROP IDEAS: 
I would love to see his pirate radio show have an effect somehow, either positive or negative (but maybe more positive at least at first, I’ve already done a lot of disappointing the Order with Fab).
I would love to see how his bloodstatus affects him. If he is genuinely more in danger for being a loud annoying muggleborn, it might be nice to work that into the larger plot somehow.
ANYTHING ELSE? I haven’t put whether he’s low level or mid level in the Order, I’m happy for either, wherever you think he’d fit best.
EXTRA FOR NON-BIO CHARACTERS:
PAST: 
Maurice Creevey grew up in the midlands, part of a typical working class family. His mother was a housewife, and his father a Miner. The strikes and picket lines his father was a part of were some of his first experiences with activism, and the spark didn’t stop there. Maurice was rudely torn from his happy muggle life by the revelation he was a Wizard and the letter ‘inviting’ him to study at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. With no choice but to follow this path, Maurice has resented it ever since. He didn’t waste his time there by any means though. This was when he got his first taste for activism, protesting in the great hall and demonstrating in classes. These habits followed him faithfully into adulthood, developing until he found real urgent causes. At the top of his list, was tearing down the Statue of Secrecy that traps all muggle-borns in the wizarding world whilst an evil wizard and his cronies are attempting to pick them off one by one, and also prevents the muggles from fighting back on their own terms.
PRESENT:
It’s his activism that brought him to the attention of the Order. He is a good soldier for the Order, willing to do what has to be done and follow orders dutifully. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his own intentions. Maurice works for the Wizarding Wireless Network, and a few nights a week he hosts his own pirate radio station. Sometimes his broadcasts can get hundreds or thousands of listeners, all scared but hopeful, wanting to hear what no-one else is telling them, the news the papers won’t print, the the stories the WWN won’t air. The Order value their secrecy, but Maurice knows information is power, and knowledge gives you a choice. He knows he can use his show to the Order’s advantage if only it’s given a chance.
FC CHOICES: top choice is Tom Sturridge, I’m not very good at fcs so if you don’t think he fits I’m happy to go with recommendations!

[ CHITTAPHON LEECHAIYAPORNKUL / TEN, HE/HIM, CISMALE ] — [ THORN SHINAWATRA ] is a child of [ ZEUS ] with the power of [ ELECTROKINESIS ]. They’re [ TWENTY-THREE ] and have been in nemean lion for [ TEN YEARS ]. If you want to meet them, they’re usually around the building [ CHECKING OUT NEW WEAPONS OR TRAINING ]; you could also try [ THE FORGE ]. 
because i have no self-control. hi it’s cinnamon again here with my third child!! meet thorn—
child of zeus
he found this out early on in life because his mom lowkey never got over zeus and so he tried contacting his father just to see if what his mom was saying was for real because even the kids at his school and other adults wouldn’t believe him when he said so
upon confirmation, it didn’t take long for him to find out about the nemean lion and with the support of his mom, decided to move in. he wants to be the very best like no one ever was.
he lowkey has a love-hate relationship with zeus because wow he has these powers but also he had to go through all the above confusion during his childhood
speaking of his powers, he’s got a lot to give but he actually have great control over his electrokinesis. the only way he’s had it under control so far is if he channels it through a weapon, but he doesn’t like to admit that so he just acts like he has to do it because ‘no one can take this’ but really the last power outage at nl was because of him messing up and frying everything around him including himself
but he’s keeping that a secret and taking it to his grave because pRIDE. charla was there though so she knows
holds himself with confidence, acts a bit self-important, honestly tries to be badass but isn’t as badass as he thinks he is. i’M cOoL aNd tOuGh
he’s hella determined to prove himself though
thorn’s always been going on a lot of missions because of this but with the recent death and rumors that the monsters seem a little off, he’s training a lil more
that’s all for now, more later!!
possible connections:
weapons friend - someone who’s always coming up with new weapons/armor for thorn to test/get first dibs on, in return this also helps them improve the prototype. thorn prefers lightweight armor and projectile weapons he could charge with electricity
estranged friend - because i love me some angst. reason could be discussed.
enemies/rivals - pretty sure he’s rubbed some people the wrong way with his personality. or maybe your charrie rubbed him the wrong way. we can discuss

( Chloe Bennet, 25, cisfemale, she/her ) Have you seen ELENA EVER around ? I hear they’re a SINGER AT EDEN/HACKER who can sometimes be HEADSTRONG & RECKLESS. But I also heard they can be COURAGEOUS & COMPASSIONATE if you catch them on a good day. they’re usually hanging around FATES in their spare time. i sure hope they’re alright !
hello hello, claire (she/her, gmt+1) again i know you’re getting bored of me but here’s my third bby and the ‘normal’ one out of the three, though that’s relative too if we’re being honest... anyway if you want this stubborn little thing to plot with her, give this a ❤ and imma come @ you 
pinterest page 
STATS: ➤  NAME: Elena Ever ➤  AGE: 25 ➤  DOB: 6th of May ➤  BORN: New York City ➤  HEIGHT: 5′5′’ ➤  SIBLINGS: unknown ➤  MBTI: ENFJ ➤  ORIENTATION: bisexual ➤  OCCUPATION: singer at Eden, freelance hacker ➤  EDUCATION: high school education  ➤  TATTOOS: yes, a tattoo that was placed on her by the brothel, she hides it obsessively ➤  SCARS: yes, various ➤  AESTHETICS: leather jackets and combat boots, her phone and a cup of lukewarm coffee always in her hand, a flat full of computers, a raging motorcycle between her legs, leather fingerless gloves, nails painted black, skirts and dark stockings, a laptop in her bag, always going somewhere ➤  VICES: tobacco, alcohol, sex, drugs (before)  ➤  PETS: yes a shiba inu and a hedgehog (idk man) 
HISTORY: 
➤  She was born a bastard to a mother that didn’t want her and a father that never knew. Her mom was an dancer and a prostitute in New York, a young woman trying to get by to whom the pregnancy happened by accident. Elena grew up among the women who worked at that club, and though her mother was far from thrilled by her - she still cared for her, as did the other women. There were a few kids like her there, but she was hardly aware that a life they were leading was far from ideal.  ➤  During her teen years she started showing interested in computers, and had a mind for coding - able to see things and connections most others didn’t. It was a way to connect to other people of similar interests and she soon found a place where she finally fit in. She started running with that crowd, but it was far from ideal and Elena was desperate to keep her status now that she’d found a place where she was finally seen and respected.  ➤  Out of some rebellious teenage stupidity, Elena ran away when she was barely 16. Though her family situation wasn’t ideal, it was a far cry from what was expecting her out there in the real world. She just didn’t realise that yet.  ➤   As her notoriety grew in the community, people started showing interest. Chief among them being the man running and underground crime business that dealt exclusively with black-hat hacking. Hungry for a place to settle, and a stable community to call her own after 2 years on the run - Elena accepted the proposal. They’d give her a place to stay in the base, all the resources she needed and all she had to do was do as she was told.  ➤  Elena trusted the man, she trusted everyone there and she would soon learn that people are rarely trustworthy, and she’d learn it the hard way. She was young and he enticed her, he was her idol - a notorious hacker in the business, brilliant and fascinating. How could a young girl of 18 not fall for that?  ➤   Betrayal came like a bucket of cold water dumped on her - a field mission gone wrong, the enemy closing in without anyone to get her out. No one even tried. She thought he’d come till the last minute, but as they dragged her away into a dark van, there was no one to be seen, no one to catch her when she fell.  ➤   Turns out the man who took her was a mobster from New York, running an illegal prostitution ring, and so he dragged her back home - but it looked nothing like the way she thought she’d return.  ➤   They broke her spirits there - and don’t get me wrong, she put up hell of a fight. But there’s only so much a human can take, before they’re broken seemingly beyond repair. She became numb, distant - there were places in her mind where she’d go to hide, lines of code she’d go through over and over again until it was done.  ➤   But even then, at her lowest, darkest moments - a spark was enough to light a fire within her. There was a person there - she never learned who they were exactly - but they offered her a chance, a split second to make a decision and run for her life. She got out. So many more didn’t. It would haunt her for the rest of her life.  ➤   Once out, she found her mother again - she was beaten and bruised but still standing. A realisation came to her a few days later - was this all there was? This life? It couldn’t be. She’d been through so much - the world swallowed a girl and spit out a woman - it was about time she took things into her own hands. After all she was free again, and she would never let anyone own her again.  ➤    On a whim, like she does most things, she decided she’d find the person that had offered her a chance at escape, she decided she couldn’t let this rest, she decided she would have to learn to fight so she would never feel so helpless again. So she followed the leads - back to Chicago.  ➤    She knew the bare minimum about this person, only that they were involved with the criminal world of Chicago, the seedy underbelly of the city - but horrible odds never stopped her, so why would they now?  ➤    She settled in Chicago, finding work at Eden as a singer - it was a small win for her, to take this part of her and piece it together. It reminded her of what was done to her, but it also reminded her that she was her own woman now, and no one was controlling her. On the side she still works as a hacker, but a freelance one - not involved with any syndicate and making sure she’s covering her tracks so they wouldn’t find her again.
PERSONALITY:  +  courageous, compassionate, kind, determined, clever
-  stubborn, reckless, impulsive, addictive, idealistic
HEADCANONS: 
➤   She owns a tiny apartment, but it’s enough for her needs. She doesn’t want to get greedy and expose herself too much just to get some more money. What she earns she spends mostly on her hacking equipment - it’s basically her baby.  ➤   She spends a lot of time on her laptop at the Fates, downing coffee after coffee until her heart is in a wild tachycardia (it’s not healthy and she knows it). She likes being around people instead of just always locked at her apartment.  ➤    Singing is a thing she has loved since she was a kid, it lets her get lost in the melody and the words, it’s almost like she’s someone else. This is why she’s working at Eden - it lets her couple work with something she loves, and it also allows her to face the fears from the past. After all you cannot always be strong, but you can be brave.  ➤    She loves movies, especially the old kind - they’re idyllic, a much-needed escape from reality. So if she likes you don’t be surprised if she drags you to her place or the cinema to watch something.  ➤    She absolutely adores her motorcycle and takes it everywhere, claiming it’s simply a more practical way of transport than a car is. Truth is, she just likes the thrill of it - the way she’s dancing with death when she’s speeding down the street.  ➤   That’s another thing about her - she’s a reckless creature. She likes the danger, the thrill, and she’s always the first to jump into trouble if it means protecting someone. She’s big on being on the side of the underdog, and regardless of the situation, she just can’t let things slide even if it means getting her ass kicked in the process. It wouldn’t be the first time.  ➤    She struggles a lot with ptsd and survivor guilt, but has never had enough sense to get some help. It’s mostly because she feels like she’s alone in the world and there’s never anyone to stand up for her - so she can do it on her own, she has to.  ➤    She has like 20 leather jackets, a good 80% of her closet is just leather jackets. It’s unhealthy. And also combat boots and heeled combat boots, there’s just nothing in between except when she’s working and she has to dress appropriately.  ➤    Her cigarettes of choice are Lucky Strike, and she has an old beaten-up zippo that a friend once gave it to her (the same one whose criminal syndicate she’d been working for). She hates him, yet she still keeps the lighter, a creature of habit.  ➤    She’s an energetic person, always hell-bent on helping people (maybe because she feels no one ever held a hand out to her) so it’s not weird for her to approach people if she senses they’re not in a good place. She’ll talk to them, or offer them a cigarette or drag them out to have some drinks, but whatever it is she will be there.  ➤    There is a tattoo on her forearm that she obsessively covers and hides with sleeves and arm pieces, it’s back from her days of prostitution when they marked her as theirs. She hates it but lets it stay there as a reminder never to give up her own agency like that again. She also has some scars and burn marks from that time but they don’t bother her as much though she hides them too.  ➤    She can be seen taking self-defence classes and going to the shooting range to practice. It offers her peace of mind and some semblance of a hold on her sanity - a thought that she could defend her self (badly though probably) if something were to happen. ➤   She WILL try to befrend you count on it. Also I’ll come up with more random hcs I just wanted to give her an introduction :)  wanted connections: i’m currently making a wanted connections page for her but honestly everything and anything is welcome!!! like she could’ve been a runaway kid with your charrie or smth (i would LOVE those connections), maybe people who were also in the syndicate with her? or people who were abused like her and managed to get away? also she’s sneaking around looking for clues about gangs and although she’s just trying to reach out to say thank you and all that jazz, it looks suspicious (she never thought of it that way cause ya know... the girls a genius for hacking but can be clueless), also fwb she has a thing for that because she has trust issues etc. but also likes to have fun, and friends just in general she needs her squad  for more specific ones i’m gonna post like a wanted connection, like that guy from syndicate who left her behind, and also someone involved with gangs (doesn’t matter in which way) who helped her escape (i left that purposefully vague af)  SO basically ALL of it??

(tons of books, blueprints, yankees hat ) –– && it looks like annabeth chase has finally arrived in woodshore ( though she originates from The PJO & HOO series ). although known as a HALF-BLOOD back home, here they are a SEVENTEEN year old student, known to be LOYAL, but STUBBORN. they were coaxed here with the promise of CREATING A NEW BUILDING. they remember BATTLING AGAINST GAEA. ( brandy, 22, pst, she/her, lili reinhart )
Tumblr media
*Rolls in* HAI, I’m Brandy and I have no self-control whatsoever because I shouldn’t be applying to new rps but er, here I am anyways! XD I’m your not-so-average SoCal gal who sings along to way too many musicals and deals with a shit ton of Anxiety :)) fun life, right? :P So, I was late jumping onto the PJO train, I grew up knowing of it, but didn’t start reading the books until last year lmao, I took a small break before starting the Trials of Apollo books because I just haven’t been able to get into them oop. Also, I’m not all that good with portraying main charries, I tend to stick with the background ones but since my go-to is taken, I’m taking a chance with Annabeth so like, if I portray her horribly, yell at me and I’ll try to fix it. XD 
Annabeth Chase is the child of Frederick Chase and the Goddess Athena, the former wasn’t ready to be a father at the time and the latter gave birth to kids from her head so..it was a strange situation. 
She grew up in Virginia with her dad, step-mom, and half-brothers (although she considers them more like step-brothers than anything else.)
She was often found as a great target for spiders because of her mom’s issue with Arachne so when she was little, spiders would harm her, but since her step-mom never believed her due to the lack of evidence, Annabeth finally got done with all of it and ran away at the age of seven.
Whilst running towards where she would eventually get to call Camp Half-Blood, her home, Luke and Thalia found her and basically took care of her.
Once she reached the Camp, she ended up staying there until the age of 12 when Percy Jackson got a quest and she knew it was her chance to get out and prove just what she could really do, whilst also slowly starting to feel things for the son of Poseidon.
A crap ton of things happened after that, from 13 to 16, she was either on a quest, one being her own into the Labyrinth, looking for someone, or getting kidnapped herself before finally the Second War happened. 
(Since we don’t have a Percy, imma assume that they are together, if we ever get a Percy, I’ll talk to them about it.)
She loves Architecture, it’s her ‘something permanent’ something that’s she never really got to have, and you’ll most likely find her rambling on about a building and potentially finding ways to get inspiration for any future designs.
Just like all of Athena’s kids, she’s absolutely terrified of spiders, if you try to put a spider anywhere near her, fake or real, she will scream and then probably calculate a way to harm you so just don’t do that haha.
You won’t find her easily revealing her emotions quickly, but after some time, she does express her feelings over something once she’s trusted you as a friend, and thus she’s incredibly loyal towards you.
I think that’s all for now, if you’d like to plot with this charrie, if you’d like to plot or interact with her, please like this post! :D

[ TROYE SIVAN + CISMALE ] • STANLEY URIS FROM IT HAS JUST BEEN ENROLLED. I BELIEVE THE TWENTY YEAR OLD IS STAYING IN 5A AND STUDYING ANIMAL BIOLOGY. STAN EVEN GOT AN INTERVIEW TO BE A RECEPTIONIST AT A VETERINARY CLINIC. GOOD FOR THEM ! ( LIDDY, CST, SHE/HER )
hello friends !! i’m liddy n i’m super annoying and don’t shut up abt stephen king ever aeruyfgakeuyhd anyway i’m super excited to be here n meet all ur charries!!!! i’ve got a lil intro for u below so smash the heart and i’ll come hit u up or feel free to slide into my dms u know the drill 👌
first off for the questions: stan has been here for a year! he’s majoring in animal biology and along with school works full-time at a vet clinic doing front desk work/reception and assisting the doctors
he doesn’t quite remember how he came to be at everly but has no problem disregarding that because the idea that he can’t remember makes him nervous and he’s an Avoider
in regards to the It timeline, he’s between parts 1 and 2: that is, the events from the first part (when they were 12/13 bc i’m going with movie canon for their ages) happened about 7 years ago, and the events from part 2 (when they’re adults) never happened. which is good for stan syreagukhjs. according to canon, all of the losers forgot 99% of derry and everything that happened to them that summer so i’m going with that too! stan remembers snippets of his childhood but almost never thinks about it, and what he does remember is the normal stuff. nothing about the other losers and certainly nothing about pennywise
which actually works really well with him not quite remembering how he got here rtdyfygh
also, to make my life easier, i’m shifting the timeline so that it really was 7 years ago, putting the first fight with pennywise in the summer of 2012 rather than the 80s like the most recent movie or the 50s like the book
as for stan’s personality !! he’s an extremely uptight and fastidious person with a dry and witty sense of humor that usually goes right over people’s heads. the kind of person who secretly knows about and likes memes but everyone assumes he has no idea about any of it and he doesn’t necessarily correct them
his love of animals began from a fascination with birds when he was younger, and in fact his bird book from his childhood is one of his only memories of derry he’s kept
nowadays if he isn’t found reading enormous tomes on animal physiology and behavior, he’s sketching birds in his sketchpad
he suffers from a mild case of ocd which, through therapy and hard work, he’s just started to be able to combat effectively. with that has come a bit of loosening up--he laughs more and jokes more, but the old stan is definitely still in there
he is a Good Boy with a very soft heart but he’s terrified of things that feel like they’re out of his control and he often has a difficult time with Normal Socializations so he can come off as being finicky and detached
i can’t stress enough that he needs to feel like things make sense and line up and are within his control and sense of reality. like in the book and films, stanley’s first reaction to anything that makes him uncomfortable or upset or doesn’t jive with his version of “normal” he simply turns away from and acts like if he ignores it, it’ll go away
his clothes are always perfectly ironed and neat, his posture excellent, and he’s exceedingly polite (except when he gets comfortable around friends)
he doesn’t keep in much contact with his parents--they were upset by his lack of interest in judaism and became further disappointed when he revealed he wanted not to become an accountant like they had planned, but to study animals. they refused to help him pay for school unless he aligned with their wishes, which is why he works full time at the vet clinic so he can afford it himself (along with substantial loans that stress him the fuck out already)
as a side note, i have a billion and one blond!troye gifs to use and only a handful of brunet!troye so even tho i’ll be using a lot of blond gifs.........he has brown hair tyergjhkjs

- ̗̀ * ( barbara palvin + cis-female + she/her ) have you seen ( aurora ‘rory’ van der berg ) walking around campus ? they are a ( twenty two ) year old, studying ( political science ). we hear they are in ( theta sigma eta ), and can be ( adventurous & stubborn ), maybe it’s because they are a ( sagittarius ). they sort of remind us of ( nose scrunches when confused, boisterous laughter and disarming gazes ), maybe we can find out more !  *  ̖́-  + debate, surfing, 
Tumblr media
TESTING, TESTING! Is this thing on? What’s up my dudes? I’m Madison and I can’t even begin to tell you how stoked I am for this group. And honestly all of your charries (and you) seem amazing so far so I am EXCITED.  ANYWAYS here is the first of my babes, I just realize they both look alike WHOOPS. Like this if you’d like to plot with Rory and I’ll message the SHIT out of you.
SO she’s from Cape Town, South Africa and her father is a major political leader on Parliament there!
Was actually pursuing professional surfing as a career until she turned sixteen and decided it wasn’t for her. Then became interested in studying political science like her pops.
LOVES her country but just…couldn’t stand living there anymore.
She is A TOUGH cookie. Like you don’t wanna mess with her or her friends. She will literally fight you. Very protective and mama bear.
The girl is not afraid of anything. VERY adventurous and reckless. Always has a camera in hand which gets her intro trouble 100000% of the time.
Rors is pretty down to earth. Loves to party and loves to have sex. Whoops. No shame.
She’s being harassed and blackmailed by her ex-boyfriend with a sex tape which isn’t good because of her father’s political status so YIKES. it can’t get out because her father is very high up and could lose his job.
Rory won’t like tell anyone about it though because she hates asking for help and hates admitting that this low life man actually has some control over her.
He was physically abusive and emotionally abusive for the longest time and it took so much courage for her to finally leave and get out of it and she never wants to get back there again SO.
She’ll avoid talking about it but will get all tense and sweaty when she gets threatening texts and shit.

{ HALSTON SAGE, 22, cis-female, she/her } can i get a yeehaw? i think it was RILEY WINTERS i just saw on the slopes. the UNEMPLOYED has been staying on the mountain for TWO WEEKS and are originally from NEW YORK, NY. there’s always talk around town about how DEBONAIR they are, but they can also be EGOCENTRIC their favourite winter activity is ICE SKATING. 
Tumblr media
 hi hello my friends this is my second charrie riley. this is the first time i’m playing her so i hope i can do her justice!! anyways here’s some information on riles.
riley was born and raised in new york, NY and has always loved living there. she has a very comfy life back home filled with luxuries and a busy social life. she comes from a very successful and affluent family of four (she has a younger sister she pays little to no attention to, she mostly just finds her annoying lol), money has never been an issue for the winters and riley has always had plenty of money at her disposal. she has always been very self indulgent and takes care of herself before anything else. her mother and father created and ran a popular clothing line together for a number of years and business was booming. they always took young riley to the fashion shows they attended, sparking a passion for fashion inside her. it was easy for her to dive deeper into it, she had access to the latest products from luxury brands which she often got gifted due to her parents status. she has always been decked out in the latest and not exactly the cheapest threads, gold and diamond accessories almost always on her body. 
when riley was fourteen her mother suddenly passed away in a car accident and in absolutely devastated her. riley wasn’t very close with her father but she was very much close to her mother, she was the one person who truly understood her. this caused a riley to become more closed off, cold and destructive at times. she learned not to put her all into anything because it could quickly be taken away leaving her wounded and lost, she never wanted to feel like she did ever again. she never talks about her mother or how she feels about her death but she misses her more than anyone could imagine. riley has built a tough exterior for herself but if you dig deep enough you’ll find a softy.
she is closer with her father now than she has ever been but there is still a lot of distance between them, he doesn’t quite know how to deal with her so he lets her do as she pleases while he focuses on his clothing line. after her mother died another woman stepped forward to fill her place as her father couldn’t handle the whole brand on his own and they ended up taking a strong liking to eachother and have been dating for a number of years. they haven’t gotten married yet and riley hopes that time never comes. she doesn’t get along with her soon to be step-mother at all and just plain doesn’t like her so she keeps her distance as much as she can. she owns her own loft apartment in NY, she is really only home for holidays or if she needs to help her father with something regarding the line. she currently doesn’t have a job because daddy’s money but she sometimes picks up small modelling gigs at home.
riley is a very outgoing, confident and alluring person, she’s quite friendly and knows how to let loose and have a good time. she has a bit of an attitude she sometimes has a hard time keeping under control, she’s gotten into her fair share of fights over the years but as she has gotten older she has grown out of it. but most of the time she’s cordial unless she feels like she has a reason not to be. she likes to get her way and isn’t too happy when that doesn’t happen. she is currently visting the resort for the holiday season with her father and his girlfriend but mostly stays on her own. you can usually find her by the spa, the ice rink, or the shops in town.
i think that’s it i’ll add more if i need too! please like this if you would like to plot and i will im you!

tagged a million yrs ago by @risquetendencies - tyvm! c: i’mma just do a buttload of tag games tonight orz
1. You’re in your kitchen trying to secure yourself some delicious cuisine when you hear IT. That song that’s totally your jam, that laces through your soul and inspires in you this irresistible urge to dance your heart out. What is the name of this song?
These days, it’s absolutely “Hangang” by HOODY. (ノ´▽`)ノ♪ 
2. Describe how you think Haikyuu!! will end vs. how you would end it if you had control of the series. Feel free to go as detailed as possible. (✧ω✧)
OH JFC. Um. I feel it’s gonna end after Nationals, and Hinata may or may not ever meet the Little Giant. I would LIKE IT to end (even with timeskips) at the end of Hinata and co.’s third year, with glimpses of how the older and other charries have grown, and have the Little Giant do a subtle reveal legit in the last few pages and I wanna be fucking blown away. *lol*
3. Preferred scents for room spray/candles?
I hate candles and am affected by scents, so they have to be very light and airy. I usually use fresh laundry or gentle breeze scents. My one exception is apples & cinnamon, tho I usually save that for the holidays.
4. Earbuds or headphones?
HEADPHONES.
5. Something you liked as a child that you’re not into now?
Donuts. Idk why I ate them as a kid. I can’t eat them now; even the smell of them grosses me now. I haven’t eaten any in over 15 yrs I think, *lol*.
6. If you had to write a callout post to yourself, what would you call yourself out for not doing/doing badly?
Deffo for taking forever to finish projects (art and writing). ;w;
7. If your face was going to be on some form of currency (bills/coins), what amount would you want it to be on, and why? (ex. $0.01 vs $100)
Put me on the $20. You can’t go wrong with a $20. I always have $20 on me so I can take a cab in an emergency.
8. Thing you want most right now, and thing you need most right now? (can be objects, can be less tangible too)
Want: To figure out how to reach the ending of the current oneshot I’m writing. Need: A fucking job. people need to hire me already & stop leading me on after multiple interviews
9. If you have/are going to have a roommate living with you, what would be your number one house rule?
Pick up after yourself. I enjoy cleaning, but I am not your goddamn maid.
10. Do you mostly smile with your lips open or closed?
Closed. :c
11. Write the summary of the fanfiction you wish existed out there for you to read! (any series/fandom your heart desires, do multiple if you wish)
Hmm... Rn I’m crying bc of the lack of Kurokai content, so I’d love to see a fic where Yaku meddles with them, tryna get them together. Kuroo and Kai are clearly aware of his efforts, Kai ignoring them while Kuroo grumbles to Yaku to quit it. Yaku tries to enlist the kouhai’s help, but the only ones who come close to being useful are Fukunaga and Shibayama. In the end, some dumb thing Lev? (prolly Lev) does provides Kurokai with an opening...but the surprise twist is that they’re already dating, just v early into the relationship. Only Kai’s been sure of it bc Kuroo honestly was like “lol wait then that first date we had...was our...first date...?” bc Kuroo thinks he’s a lot more with it than he actually is. Kai’s too damn smooth. B)
Y’know, I actually rly enjoyed these questions, so I’mma just pass it on to @gilrael, @the-untalented-teenager, @starcrossedsomething, @ennotanafuta, @karasunovolleygays, & @crollalanzaa, if ya wanna answer ’em~

is that [zendaya]? no, that’s just [zaranyika “zara” gunda]. [she/they] is/are [twenty two] years old and is/are a [part time student, odd job-er, & aspiring podcaster]. rumor has it they’ve been in town for [14 years]. on a good day, they’re [introspective & inquisitive]. but watch out! they can also be [detached & controlling]. [summer depression by girl in red] plays in my head whenever i think of them. can’t wait to see them around springhill! 
[rae, 22, est, she/they]
tw: drugs, emotional abuse, lgbtq issues, homophobia
about zara
As much as Zara likes to put on a brave face, inside, she’s hurting. Her mom is a junkie and left her and her dad when she was 8, and her dad hasn’t been the same since. He’s super controlling and can be emotionally abusive towards her.
Zara has a pretty logical mind, despite her emotions having such a tight grip on her, and she likes to know how things will end before she puts her all into it. She’s scared of the unknown. After her mom left, her dad sorta gave up on all the childhood memories and duties, other than being strict with her and forcing her to only focus on school. The only extracurriculars he allowed her to do were student government and debate club. And funnily enough, she ended up really loving them in the end, which is why she is studying Business Management in college - at Springhill’s community college. 
Due to her missing out on the childhood aspects of her past, Zara taught herself how to ride a bike. She learned to forge her father’s name for detention slips and tardy notes. She accepted to not expect her father to show up to any of her basketball games. Zara had learned, at a young age, to not get her hopes up because that only led to disappointment. The only person she could truly trust was herself.
When she was 15 years old, Zara had first learned the word “non-binary” and took comfort in the idea of not having to choose between identifying herself as solely male or female. Zara uses both she/her and they/them pronouns, and she appreciates when her friends ask her which pronouns she’d like to use that day. Lately and in general, she tends to use she/her, as she’s comfortable with presenting her feminine side in that way and masculine & non-binary sides via the clothes she wears. As for her sexuality, she’s always known, subconsciously, that she has drifted more towards liking girls than boys, but she’s open to all kinds of love, as well.
As far as her working life goes, she likes to be self-sufficient and does odd jobs around town (she’s taught herself a lot of tricks n hobbies n stuff in general lol bc she’d often have to spend a lot of time at home, following her dad’s orders). She’s good with cars (she’s hoping to buy and refurbish an RV so she can travel more - inspo), tutoring, babysitting (she prefers ages 5 and up), pet sitting, cleaning/organizing (when it’s not her own room lol), some technological stuff, etc etc. And she’s still learning more so she can work more!
TW: drugs!!!! (Xanax, Adderall, brief mention of heroin, marijuana)
Zara, unfortunately, has always second-guessed herself. Being a product of a dead-beat mother and insanely strict father may have something to do with that. She had always toyed with the idea of trying drugs, as she wanted to feel closer to her mother and figure out why she chose them over her family. Zara’s first experimentation with any kind of drug was Xanx, which she bought from the weird drug dealer in her freshman orientation class in college. Her second drug of choice was Adderall, to help her get through her first finals week. Things kept escalating from there. Her cut-off point, however, was heroin. She promised herself that she’d never shoot up; she liked being high and dulling her feelings...but she didn’t want to die, persay, and heroin seemed like a death sentence to her. Also, the few times that she’s smoked pot, she’s gotten paranoid, so she tends to stay away from that as well.
wanted connections
i think imma make a separate page on her blog specifically for wc’s - sooooo stay tuned!!
ooc / final notes
omg if you’ve read this far, THANK U SM!!! we’re basically friends bc ur the real MVP :’) pls pls plsssss message me if you’d like to plot w my bb!! 
fun fact: zara is the love child of MJ (spiderman), Rue (euphoria), and myself (esp LGBTQIA+ related, as I’m figuring that out, too, like her!!) if you ever would like to talk to someone (a new friend :D aka me lol) about LGBTQIA+ stuff, mental health stuff & staying positive during these #rough times, or gush about our love of zendaya, sabrina carpenter, harry potter series, etc etc -- then pls message me!!! we don’t have to talk solely about the rp/our charries (although i’d be 100000% okay w that uwu) bc i LOVE making new friends :D and some of my bffs are writing buddies i’ve met online! yayyayayyy
okayyyy rambling done !! ttyl hopefully :D
love always, rae xx

Random list of still WIP npc charries I need to make for this game, yo
* Mayor Grandma The Ultimate
Not actually anyone’s grandma but like... Everyone’s Grandma. That whole ‘village elder as a goddamn force of nature’ kind of character. She’s the Big Good. She’s this tiny unassuming gran who had a history as a legendary hero and is now the super amazing mayor who can solve goddamn anything and defeat any threat against the village and just... HOLDS US ALL WITH HER GRUMPY LOVE I’m imagining her like the protagonist’s gran in The Wee Free Men, or Granny Weatherwax from other discworld books, or the grandma from Summer Wars, or the grandma from Jade Cocoon 1 who even turned out to be literally the deity of badass grandmas who came down into mortal form to slap the shit out of some fools. (The “grim midwife of life and death” is a really fucking badass title)
Anyway she isn’t actually technically the ‘mayor’, she’s just like.. village elder under old country rules, but Regis is the duke that was sent down to Officially be ruler of this province. Officially. It’s just that absolutely everyone knows that the duke is just a figurehead and Ancient Powerful Gran Of The Old Ways is the real power behind this well-oiled machine of a town. Even Regis knows, lol! The previous duke was a total asshole that got served a slice of humble pie by gran and they were fighting at every turn, but now Regis and Mortimer are the Comparatively Less Stuck Up Noblefolks and the town is better off for it. Still, even if Regis isn’t evil like his brother, he’s still a bit foppish and occasionally stupid about what it actually takes to run a town. So they do come into conflict sometimes, but mostly its like BFFs quarrelling instead of the old Shephard Grandma Brings The Wrath of The Heavens Upon Rich Man No Matter How Many Rich Man Guards He Has, Seriously We Found One Of Them Upside Down On Top Of The Roof How Did That Even Happen
And then also i think that she might have a larger role in Blair’s plot cos Blair is kinda like the new Village Hero In Training. But she’s INTENSELY reluctant about it! Not cos she doesn’t like being buff as fuck and punching through walls, but because she doesn’t think she could ever be better than supergran. Cos like.. “yeah I’ve got the muscles but I don’t have the brains, how could I ever cope without you?” She gets really fucking sad at the very idea that supergran might be retiring, and like.. might die someday. So it’s someone who’s clearly qualified for the role repeatedly rejecting it and bringing up more and more perfectionist excuses why she isn’t ready yet, just because she cares so much for her mentor figure and wishes she could fight the tide of time. And that’s how Blair became the Miss Perfect rival type character, and why she’s so humble and oblivious of her own strengths. Also I think this same plot would have links to mortimer and sorrel too, because there was An Event that happened 15 years ago that was what caused mayorgran to start feeling as if she’d hit her limits and the town needs a new Hero. Apparantly ~something~ happened that was like.. the one time mayorgran ever found a problem she couldn’t solve. And also at that time mortimer and sorrel used to be childhood friends, since they’re cousins, but suddenly sorrel’s mum fell in status amoung the noble family and there was a huge upheaval of the town’s status quo. What exactly is this mystery...?
ALSO! she must have a big hat i just want her to have a really big hat (mayorgran, not sorrel, she’s fine with her medium hat)
* Sorrel’s mum
(and Regis’s sister and Morty’s aunt. It IS cousins when someone’s the son of your mum’s sibling, right? I can’t remember all the rules for first removed and stuff...)
Generic Mom. She’s just so NICE! Isn’t she nice? Don’t you agree? For some reason she had a falling out with Duke Regis in the past, and now she lives in comparative poverty and like.. no press statement has ever been released on WHY this happened, and everyone’s become rather distrustful of Regis because of it. What exactly is going on?
I kinda wanted to leave it vague at just this, cos you can’t exactly talk about her at all without spoiers. So yeah the next paragraph is gonna not reveal exactly what happened in that backstory, but it’ll talk about this character’s personality and what it.. actually is, I guess..??
SO...
...
...
A kind of over the top cloyingly “nice” person who really isn’t. A bit of Umbridge and a bit of an overbearing soccer mom. Like.. at first you’ll be wondering ‘why is Sorrel so self hatey when her mom is so nice to her’ but then it becomes clear that’s not what’s really happening. Mom only supports when you act how she wants you to, its a classic ‘living through your children’ situation where she pushes her kid way too far to achieve some goals they never wanted in the first place. And she’s a bit of a moral crusader, like she’s just.. SO convinced that she is ‘nice’, and that if she just acts ‘polite’ and ‘mumsy’ and cute and harmless and follows all the feminine stereotypes it balances out any horribly not nice things she does. Because she’s ‘not that kind of person’. Anything she does is good because she’s good, yknow? And anything Sorrel does is bad if it shows any sort of personality outside of what her mum has so kindly picked out for her, I mean why would you be so selfish, seriously! She kinda always lives like that, seething with resentment and selfish desire and looking for excuses she can use to paint someone as Bad so she is Justified in feeling superior to them and/or ruining their life. And her Nice facade covers up a lot of rather bigoted attitudes she holds, in addition to all the abusiveness. Ones that can be far more insidious cos she delivers them in such a Nice way and appeals to Logic and Compromise and oh but You Know, Everyone Knows, Isn’t It Just Natural And Biological, look at them getting Emotional. She’s very much the archetypical horrid nobleman that we were all so grateful that Regis wasn’t. Except she’s also way more devious and able to hide it beneath a relateable facade, so she can get these stupid naive townsfolk to do stuff that only makes life harder for themselves for the sake of like.. mythical trickle-down benefits that don’t actually exist. And oh, Sorrel, you know you could pass so well for a good Narcian lady if you dyed your hair, you know? Not like Regis’s filthy child. (She says, even though she also married a foreigner, just one from a majority white country...)
Basically she’s just gonna be a detestable monster, and the only pure evil person in the plot. And even more evil because she does such a good job hiding it, and has been able to spread her toxic influence to so many victims undetected for so long. Cos seriously, the story starts off with her being treated as a martyr and people clamouring to replace Regis with her, and it’s just gonna be So Damn Uncomfortable in retrospect when you do a second playthrough and see even Sorrel’s friends completely oblivious to her mum’s evilness. (″Friends? Honey, you don’t HAVE friends. Well, who do you need except little old me?”)
Also I was thinking randomly as a subplot there could be a thing that her mum was in charge of the town library once, and her planned renovations fell through and now the town doesn’t have a library at all, just this big abandoned building and The Enduring Shame. It’d be a good example of how she handles things, cos this is an Enduring Shame for Sorrel and not her. from Sorrel’s perspective she thinks that her mother trusted her with a big responsibility and she fucked it up and thus deserves the scorn. But really her mum just threw a sinking ship at her so she could take the blame, and then was all like “OH THE POOR GIRL IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY, PLEASE DON’T BLAME HER”. Spreading all these negative rumours to encourage Sorrel to never try and be independant ever again, but in a sneaky reverse psychology way so she could still look like a loving mother. But anyway this is how Sorrel ended up running a Secret Underground Library, her one form of rebellion against her mother’s control. She rescued as many books as she could when the library went under, and now she keeps them all crammed in her room and tries to spread them around without leaving any threads back to her. Cos she knows that her mum is super trusted, and that even good people can’t be trusted to keep secrets from her, and nobody would believe her if she tried to explain why it needs to be secret. So instead she just plays it off as if she’s just another person receiving books from the ghost library, and she’s totally searching for an answer to this mystery too, honest! It’d be a sign that you reached high friendship level with her when she’s like.. able to believe that you’d believe her if she told you her mum abuses her. And the first step of that is ‘hey remember that library we were questing for? its literally under my bed.’ Welcomes you to the secret trapdoor book heaven and you have a strangely romantic evening going OOOOMG FIRST EDITION TOLKEINS (or whatever the equivelant is in this universe XD) But it probably still takes her a while after that to open up about exactly why the library has to be secret, and to come to terms with the fact that she really doesn’t deserve how her mother treats her. So I’d definately give you an opportunity here to Fuck Up Massively by telling the mum about the library, yup. Gotta torment the player every now and again! XD ...but I mean if you’re reading this you know all the spoilrs so you’ll be fine, lol
* Quincy’s grandma (or possibly grand aunt?)
A stern and super professional businesswoman who has a bit of a quarrel with him over how exactly to balance profit vs like.. morality. She’s not a BAD person, her business isn’t so profit-heavy that its like all the actual atrocities you see in mega corporations nowadays. But she’s very distant from her customer base and also from what it’s even like to be poor. And she doesn’t believe that such minor things to improve the shopping experience would like.. actually change anything. What is ‘brand loyalty’?! What is this principle that if people are able to live more comfortably they’ll be able to spend more money on luxuries?? She used to be less greedygrump once, but she gets more jaded every year and keeps bumping money higher and higher up her priority list, abandoning things that used to seem important. And similarly she’s become super ‘I don’t need anyone, I’m better off being alone’, and developed this strained relationship with her grand-nephew. I think maybe I could add another layer of sad to this, woo! I think she raised Quincy alone after his parents were Giant Assholes and ran off. Probably stole a bunch of the family money, probably left her with a failing business that they’d ruined with all their selfish decisions over the years, and an angry mob out for blood against the brand name. And Quincy was very sickly as a kid, so she had to work a lot, leading to the distant relationship and obsession with profit. But she’s become so obsessed and paranoid of losing her money even after it became less of a death sentence, and she just keeps working super hard even though now she has time to spend with her family. And she gets scared seeing Quincy grow up cos she remembers how his parents turned into absolute monsters when she used to trust them so much. Being distant is better than getting hurt again... and god damn why does he have his mother’s eyes...
So yeah, they’re a bit estranged, and you can potentially help with that, woo! But mostly during the main game you’ll just hear about her cos everyone is like ‘oh, are you from [grauntie’s brand name]? why don’t you have this thing, she always has it’ and Quincy is like ‘no, this is my own store.. we’re a small business.. but umm, we’re cheaper..’ He’s trying to step out from under her shadow and prove that her philosophy is wrong, so maybe he can bring back the loving grauntie that he remembers from his childhood. i think maybe the ending could be that she turns up to inspect his new shop and they have some sort of merchant showdown and like... even if Quincy loses he still ends up proving her wrong because she sees just how much everyone in this town cares about him and how he’s improved various parts of their life by bringing access to these imported goods and just generally being a supportive community member. Maybe there are some things more important than profit...
Oh and also I think she was the one responsible for helping out Blair and Dionne when they were running from their abusive parents, and that’s why the two of them are the most friendly with Quincy at the start of the game. They hadn’t seen each other since they were kids, and Blair is kinda like I Owe You A Blood Debt, Is There Anyone You Need Me To Stab Grauntie looks back on this as a moment of weakness tho, and that’s why she stopped keeping in touch with them, she’s embarassed she used to be so sentimental. Cos like.. she spent so much money helping set up these girls with their own house and she lost out on a business opportunity (it was a property she originally purchased to turn into a franchise store) She can’t stop thinking about how tight the funds were around that time and how if she messed up she could have lost her own kid for the sake of helping some other kids... But then she turns up in town and its like Oh No I Walked Down The Street By Accident *gets buried in blair hugs* And she can’t stop crying seeing how much they grew up, and then they’re all like “we’ve been trying to send you a cut of the cafe profits for the last seven years!” and she’s like “NOOOOO, KEEP IT” *even more embarassed at doing even more irrational sympathetic actions*
Also possibly she could get a crush on mayor grandma cos they are both grumpy badasses of opposite? Strength gran vs wisdom gran!
+++
so yeh i made a bunch of grans/demigrans of various kinds, and now I am thankfully satisfied with this story’s gremp quotient
