[ask-row-and-friends]

Uh... hey everyone! The names Rowan! Prince of Valourinth, but uh... I'd... rather not use that title... so just call me Rowan!

This is a blog I put together so that me and my friends can interact with those beyond our dimension! Pretty neat, huh?

Though I suppose I should explain a little bit about our own dimension... uh... you may have to bear with me then, this is gonna be a long post...

[Skip to the bottom for tags and rules, fair warning this is extremely long]

[Anything in these brackets is OOC]

[Currently available to ask: Rowan, Sajan]

-☆-☆-☆-

If I am to give to some basic information about our world, we have a little colour system here that determines if one is a sin or a virtue, this being seen in one's eye colour.

For example with myself, I have purple eyes! That means I am either a virtue of Hope or a sin of Envy... uh... in MY case it's the latter...

Here's a little chart to hopefully make things a bit easier!

My friend and I happen to make up many of these sins and virtues, actually thinking about it now, I think we have at least one of everything here! That's pretty neat to think about!

Uh... anyways, here's some basic descriptions of each of my friends! Uh... I'll maybe update this later if needed (or if my friends want to contribute themselves).

-☆-☆-☆-

Phew, that was long... but hopefully very helpful for you guys! Hmm now... maybe I should put a little chart together! Show you guys what everyone's relationships are like, that sounds like a good idea, right?

So how's about I do just that!

-☆-☆-☆-

[Sins Chart:]

[Virtues Chart:]

[Everyone:]

-☆-☆-☆-

So uh... yeah! That's about it I think! Me and my friends look forward to your potential questions! We'll try to answer them as best we can!

Hopefully my friends are available for questions aswell... uh... I'll try to let you guys know if any of them are unavailable for questions, maybe I'll even see if I can ask others to pass on certain questions? I don't know... we'll have to wait and see if that's the case...

[Okay this is the start of the more OOC section, the rules, potential notes, etc for those who want to interact with this blog]

For starters: my main account is @k1ng-r0wan for those wondering, it's where I post art of the ocs part of this blog and other stuff (feel free to send asks other there aswell if you want!)

Moving onto the rules for this blog:

1) I will not do anything NSFW, the furthest I'd likely go is maybe making sex jokes with Sajan.

2) If I suddenly go dark on this ask blog then either assume I haven't got any asks to reply to or I'm just busy (the latter is most likely since I'm busy with uni).

3) I can do some out of character replies or non-canon posts (I do love myself some shitposts every now and again lol), those posts will be tagged as such.

4) Other blog interactions are welcome here, even if they make 0 sense with my characters universe (hell, I got inspired simply by interacting with an ask blog in character).

5) Shipping is allowed, all of the characters mentioned here are over 18. I don't mind possibly responding to asks about ships.

6) If I don't respond to an ask then either assume I don't know how to respond or I don't feel comfortable responding to it.

7) I am possibly planning to allow certain characters take over the blog instead of Rowan on occassion (potentially some who aren't listed here), I may potentially take requests for certain characters to take over.

8) I might talk about sensitive topics, but I will try to actively avoid them. If I do discuss a more sensitive topic then I'll add trigger warnings in the tags (inform me if I potentially miss something that might require one).

9) Kinda just want to add this incase something pops up in future, but I am autistic, I might misunderstand certain asks and thus want to make that clear here incase that happens in the near future. Please inform me if I misunderstood an ask.

10) The main purpose of this blog is to simply explore and develop my characters better and to lore dump, if certain designs or lore get changed I will simply tag it to say its not canon anymore. This blog is mainly just for fun at the end of the day.

May add more if needed.

DNI: Pedos, proshippers, bigots, etc.

-☆-☆-☆-

Side note:

I am planning some potential time jumping or flashbacks, so this is a simple reference for how you can tell whether something is in the present or the past:

-☆-☆-☆-

Tags I may use:

#Ask_Row&Friends - main tag

#Row&Friends_Chain - for rp responses and such

#OOC_Row&Friends - ooc posts

#[name of character]_Ask - for specific character asks/responses

#KR non-canon - the not so canon events (mostly shitposts)

#KR lore - lore tag I tend to use in general with my characters

I'll add more if needed, but I hope y'all enjoy this silly little blog :)

[akkivee]

there was a time, esp after the 2nd drb ended, when everyone was holding their breath scared/excited that hypmic would introduce new divisions to their lineup and thank fck they didn’t lol, but i like to think in a roundabout way, they did give us a new one by allowing chuuoku to have a division like dynamic lol

Okay, I'm back. So much happened that I needed to take a few days off. And to begin with, I would like to raise a question: Do you think 춘식 is Egg A1? Because since QSMP's last official live and the introduction of the new egg, I'm in doubt. Another curious point is that A1 supposedly only has 1 life, while the Korean egg has 2, unless the Federation changed this. Another point is the possibility that he has no memory of when he was A1. And speaking of eggs, Tallulah has been talking to the spirits of her dead brothers/sisters, and she said there was a 5th egg that she didn't know about. Then she named one of her birds: Esperanza (Hope). I'm curious about how the Lore of the eggs will be developed, especially because, it's worth remembering that it's still difficult to understand what the groups that the Federation separated them mean, especially group 4, which is the most ambiguous and, interestingly, is the group to which Richarlyson belongs.

[yuseirra]

Oh to be asked to be a hero for a fantasy world from a pretty girl from another dimension only to have her sacrifice all her memories and life as a human to become a transcendental being in order to save you and the whole universe and give you enlightenment to become the seeker of truth - of all mathematics and beyond

and realizing that you were in this all along because you were mesmerized by her pure eyes that saw right through you when you first met her and that you loved her all along while she did too only after all that took place, impossible to meet her again physically because her soul ascended into the realm of infinity that mankind will forever seek and try to reach as long as humanity exists

that's "판타지 수학대전"(fantasy math wars)for you.. a comic series found to educate young kr children about mathematics

Final Chapter: Tomorrow's Legends

[serenadeofsunshine]

i feel so bad for my buddies in discord i just sent them an massive essay about gen that takes up the entire channel. but i’m having A Night. i’ve been having a DAY actually. this may be the bestworst day of my life. non stop thinking about my dearest wife that i need to pick up by the backside and kick them to therapy

[standardlilith]

these spot the differences are getting harder and harder

[ask-row-and-friends]

[Okay, I think I'm gonna maybe try and specify where this blog takes place in the KR timeline just to try and map it all out and make sense of it all for those who potentially don't know the lore. I'm going to try and be and be as brief with this as possible.]

[So this most definitely takes place AFTER what I'd call 'Act 1' of the story. To summarise Act 1, this would be: Rowan and his mom being separated, Rowan becoming prince of Valourinth, Rowan discovering how his mother died and leaving Valourinth to start his own personal journey, him instead being thrusted into his own 'hero's journey' against his will, befriending all the sins including Radiance after their 1v1 fight in the void, concluding in Persephone's 'defeat' and Radiance being both rescued and made part of the groups little found family.]

[With this in mind, I believe this blog would need to take place somewhere in between 'Act 2' and 'Act 3', Act 2 basically including a lot of the Virtues story and also the start of Rowan's outfit change to include more purple. Act 2 is also kinda the start of Rowan's personality shift that's present in this blog. This must be before Act 3, however, as that is what I'd call the 'Rowan villian arc', not gonna specify much here, but I can definitely tell you he's not close to that part of his story yet.]

[So to summarise I guess, this blog takes place after Act 1 is completed, but is somewhere in between Act 2 and Act 3. It's at the very least after the Virtues have finished their own adventure as the twins are reunited, but it's before Rowan goes off the rails.]

Radiance lore in a nutshell

[iristial]

The DGP's created by people from a dystopian future where eugenics is mastered and polished to a degree where people can choose anything they want, up to their personalities. The Jyamato are monsters grown in the soil of fallen Riders from the 'distant' past, hence why they take on the dead's traits, and the plants they mainly take inspiration from are peas, which were used in eugenic research...

WE BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ICHIRO AND THE TRUE HYPNOSIS MIC PARALLELS LETS GOOOOO

[eldritchcryptids]

fellas, my partner ASKED me to make a presentation on marble hornets so they can understand it better.

ive made it.

[vveirdnobdy]

My brain is starting to fall down crossover hell with Trash of the Counts Family, thanks to a singular Katekyo Hitman Reborn crossover fic I'm reading.

leading to fun questions like, how now I want to assign Flame types to all of the Tcf characters-

Also was talking with a friend about Twisted Wonderland which is leading to the 'What Dorm would Tcf characters be in' (Cale would be Octainville 100% ok Mr Scammer himself)

Also because of a Valorant obsession, now my brain is making like abilities for Cale based off his Aps if he was a playable character. (His character art would have to include Raon as well because I want Raon in that fucking style so bad hed be so pretty) Cale would 100% be a sentinal change my mind
