OC Questionnaire Tag

Thank you @the-golden-comet for the tag, @wyked-ao3 for the tag @the-letterbox-archives for the tag and @ominous-feychild for the tag!! And they you guys for being patient! I know a couple of you tagged me in this a while ago, so sorry for the wait!!

Once again, long post!

Fres

How many people have you killed?

Far more than you would expect, or maybe not if you know me. I can’t actually give you a number. I lost track a long time ago and if we’re counting indirect killings, like building collapses and fires, that number goes up really quickly. Thankfully I don’t do much killing nowadays, and the ones I do kill, well, let’s just say they deserve it.

Favorite type of drink?

Coffee. Hands down. Throw in some flavors and creamer and I can drink five of those puppies in a day easily. It’s a small problem admittedly l…

Do you smoke?

No. I have before, when I was in the Mors and a certain undercover assignment required it, but I don’t do it if my own free will. I don’t like the smell or the taste of it in the slightest.

Asset 703

Life stranded on an island or life as a prisoner?

Island. Easily. I would be completely alone. No Mors, no war. Just me and the ocean. It would be… peaceful. I used to dream about that. Moving to an unknown island in the middle of nowhere… obviously I grew out of that. Just a childish fantasy.

Would you wear a dress?

I have, on many occasions. Certain missions require it. I don’t particularly mind. Though I hate having to wear all the glamours to hide my scars.

What is your most traumatic memory?

I… don’t think that’s relevant information. I can’t risk that information getting into the wrong hands. I was scarred from it. Physically I mean. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone…

Rage Airvix

What's your relationship with your family like?

It’s alright. I haven’t seen them in quite a few years and we don’t agree on a lot of things. Me and my older sister Cadi were always close. I haven’t been able to see her in person for three years now, but we still talk a couple times a month. I miss her.

Do you have any hobbies? If so, what ones?

I like reading! I have quite the collection on my estate. Lots of rare editions, signed copies. It’s pretty valuable. I also dabble in alchemy and I like anything that has to do with being outside like hiking or gardening.

Do you dream often? What about?

It kind of goes in waves I guess? I’ll have a longer stretch of dreams and nightmares for a couple months, and then it kind of goes away. Most of the time it’s memories or complete utter nonsense. Half the time I don’t even remember them. Except the nightmares. I generally remember those.

Fres

What was the worst day of your life?

As weird as it sounds, the day I left the Mors. Don’t get me wrong, I was happy to be free but… I thought [redacted] was coming with me. In the end she chose the Mors and we went our separate ways. I wouldn’t hesitate to fight her now.

What's your worst nightmare?

The Mors capturing me. I know exactly what they would do and I wouldn’t be able to escape them a second time. It terrifies me to think about.

If a monster asked you your worst nightmare, what would you tell it and why?

Honestly, I’d probably lie. Who knows what its intentions are? But if I had to tell the truth, I wouldn’t even say anything; I would just show it all the damage the Mors have caused.

Leaving this one as an open tag!! Mostly because I’m on mobile and can’t easily see who I’ve tagged before lol

Your Questions:

Sun or moon?

Would you rather drown or be buried alive?

Pumpkin spice or apple cider?

Elemental Continued + Dragon War

@ath3alin I'm here!! I'm here!! *papers and notebooks spilling out of hands, hair a complete mess and face flushed* I have more rambles!!!

OKAY!!! Rage's elemental vision/very basic run down of the elemental system (I want to do a more comprehensive intro post for the whole magic system, so this is just a little teaser).

So, elemental is used by most species in some form. It's different for each species on how much they can control, but the basics stay the same.

Elemental relies on two main aspects: the element being harnessed (pulled from the surroundings) or extracted (pulled from within the users body), and energy.

The broad categories of elements are fire, water, air, rock, bio, energy, and a few... other elements that I'm not going to name right now because it's Plot Points. (can you tell AtLA influenced this???) They all have many more categories in them and several of them overlap, but this is the general guide the Realms use. Most of your average run of the mill people are just going to refer to elements as this. You really only get the nuanced categories and specialties when you get with an advanced trained user.

Energy has three categories. Life energy, elemental energy, and wild energy. They have technical names, but most of your average people are just going group them together and call them energy.

So, since Rage is Mirralian, his body produces no element of its own, but it does produce a specific type of elemental energy that allows him to harness the elements in his surroundings. Ninety-nine percent of the time, Rage harnesses air, just "seeing/sensing" where it is. It requires little energy and his body, after doing this for decades, has built up stamina and extra energy production to compensate. The air leave an outline of where things are, like pouring clay in a mold. It can give Rage an incredible amount of detail if he puts in more effort, but for the most part he just lets his "sight" only go so far. The closest I can think of to give you an example is an inverted black and white picture like these.

Not sure if I explained that very well, but it's what we're going with because my brain is mush right now.

NOW! On to Asurr's research!

First off, yes the questionable research is in healing/biology/genetics. It was pretty much why they chose to go into that field of work later in life. It defiantly wasn't for any desire to help people or good morals and a sense of duty.

Asurr's research specifically revolves around the writings, which are very few and seen as exaggerations and myths by the majority, about the creation of the Tanimoriem during the Dragon War. If the dragons could create a new species from another, why couldn't Asurr improve upon existing ones? Could they change one species to another? Could they create the ultimate species?

A lot of Asurr's research involves ancient writings in languages long lost, talking about impossible elemental feats that most believe to be complete myths. Asurr has had some success in his experiments, but they are crude, gruesome, unnatural and unholy feats of nature. Most of these abominable creatures are extremely violent and devoid of emotions and reason. While Asurr only sees them as steps forward and nowhere near their desired results, the Mors are very pleased with these creatures and use them for many things.

Most people see Asurr as crazy, which they are, but they are also insanely smart and driven. It's their life's work to reach the pinnacle of genetic alterations and species manipulation.

And finally, the Dragon War!

I've mentioned my other WIP, Legend of the Ancients (LotA), a couple times, which takes place in the same world as Echoes of War Chronicles (EoWC). LotA happens a good couple centuries before EoWC, but the Dragon War happens even before that. (LotA focuses a lot more on the creation of the Tanimoriem than EoWC does and is a major plot point for that series).

When the Realms were slowly discovering each other, all the species mixing together, tensions were high. A few of the Realms threatened war against each other. The dragons stepped in to keep the peace, working to unite the Realms and keep things from escalating. And it worked well, until Mirralia was discovered.

Mirralia was extremely hostile towards the dragons, hunting the species and using them to enhance their elemental. Mirralia convinced the other Realms the dragons needed to be controlled.

And so the Realms began a war against the dragons.

It was brutal. The single worst war in the Realms collective histories. It wrecked devastation for everyone, nearly destroying the Realms completely.

During this, the dragons came up with a plan. Through a massive amount of elemental and energy, the dragons "gifted" parts of themselves to various select beings who had been extremely loyal through the war, resulting in a new species. The Tanimoriem. It still remains to be one of the most impressive and powerful uses of elemental in history.

With the help of the Tanimoriem, a mix of namuhs and dragons, the dragons were able to end the war on their terms and keep the Realms from collapsing.

Sorry this is such a long post. When I start rambling, I really start rambling. Hopefully this answered a little more of your questions!! And thank you so much for showing an interest in my work!! It means so, so much to me!!! My DMs and asks are always open!!

OC Intro: Ronan "Rage" Airvix

I've been a little too excited to do this one. Rage is one of my favorite characters from EoWC so I hope you guys enjoy!!

Once again, because of my lack of drawing skills, I have used picrew for Rage's pictures. If you're curious, I used this one and this one.

Yes, you guys get two picrews this time. The second one is a lot closer to how he actually looks, but I also wanted a front facing one. It was surprisingly difficult to find picrews with beards and man buns.

Name: Ronan "Rage" Airvix

Mors Title: Field Handler and Certified Healer

Age: forty-six

Birthdate: (still working out the Realms calendars) July 17th

Pronouns: He/Him

Species: Namuh, Mirralian

Physical Description

Light tanned skin. His face is blemish free except for some slight wrinkles around his eyes. He has dark gray eyes and matching gray and white hair* that is long enough for him to pull back into a bun, which is how he usually wears his hair. He has a few various scars from his military days. He's a little tall for a Mirralian, coming in at 7'0 (213 cm). He works out regularly and has a decent amount of defined muscles. He's also very healthy when it comes to food. Being a Healer tends to do that.

*side note: the gray/white hair is not due to aging. Most namuh species have 'unnatural' hair and eye colors. This color ‘dulls’ with aging rather than losing color.

Skills/Abilities

Elemental, specifically healing, certified healer, Negotiator™, multiple languages, survival skills

Greatest Fear

Failing

Personality Type

ENFJ-A

Love Language

Physical touch

Typical Outfit

Mors certified suit, healer's uniform, or work out clothes

Method of Manipulation

Blackmailing and gaslighting

Born to the predominant Airvix family, Rage has spent most of his life exposed the Mirralian government and military. All of his family members hold high standing titles and the Airvix name is well known through the Realm. After graduation basic school, he went into healing, becoming a certified healer and joining the Mirralian military. After outstanding services, Rage was invited to join the Mors, which he accepted. He continues to be one of their top healers, so much so that he is assigned as a personal field handler and healer to a specialist. Asset 703.

Relationships

Gerd

Rage never dealt much with Gerd until getting assigned as 703’s handler and healer. Since Gerd is her main handler, Rage often has to defer to what he says, even if it puts 703 in more danger. The two butt heads constantly, almost always over 703. Each would be happy to see the other end up dead.

Healer Asurr

Rage and Asurr went to healing school together where they were roommates (no, not that kind of roommates. Asurr has no interest in that). The two were close friends until they drifted apart after graduation. Now with Asurr heading Project Viall for the Mors, they see each other more frequently, but their relationship is much different. Rage doesn’t fully agree with the Project, but tries his best to remain friendly and to avoid Project Viall as much as possible.

703

Assigned as her handler and healer, Rage was mostly curious about why she would get a personal healer. As he got to know her, that curiosity quickly turned to protectiveness and slight awe at how she operated. The best way to describe it: “I’ve only had 703 for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.”

Writing Share/WIP Wednesday Tag

Thank you @kaylinalexanderbooks for the tag and @the-golden-comet for the tag!! I'm using this for my Wednesday posting schedule. Two birds, one stone, all of that.

Rules: share some writing!

I recently redid Rage and 703's first interaction and figured I'd post that! I think I've posted some snippets from it before, but this is the "full" scene, or at least until a scene change. Or I decide to rewrite it again...

Anyway! Hovering at about 1k, so a little long, but most of my posts are haha! Enjoy :D

The projections suddenly disappeared, vanishing like ghosts. Taking off the headset, there was no one else in the training cube. She knew better than to think it was a malfunction. No. Her training had been stopped for a reason. Taking off the rest of the gear, she set everything aside, standing and waiting in the center of the small room. Hands clasped behind her. Back straight, staring ahead mutely. Waiting for whoever would deliver her next orders. Two minutes later, she heard Master Gerd’s footsteps. Followed by another pair she didn't know. The steps were heavy, long strides. Highly likely to be another male, though not a Master she was familiar with. The door to the cube opened. Master Gerd walked in, followed by a man. He was tall. Well built. Not as old as Master Gerd, but at least middle aged. Suntanned skin, white and gray shoulder length hair pulled back in a bun. A goatee completed the look. He didn’t wear the standard Mors black suit, but his clothes were certainly expensive and protective. The intricate knife on his belt and bulging bag with the Mirralian government insignia told her he was a respectable figure. One that was well above herself. But his eyes… they were like brewing storm clouds. Dark, dark gray, with a hint of white lightening when the light hit them right. Only there was no ferocity in them. They were gentle. Like soft rain in early spring. It was odd, to see that gentleness in a man’s eyes. What was more strange, was the fact he smiled upon entering the room. One that reached his eyes. Perhaps there was something wrong with him. What man would smile upon seeing her? Other than a perverted one she was tasked with seducing. Though his smile didn’t look like a perverted one. “She’s efficient. Loyal. Well trained and obedient. She won’t be near as difficult as your last Asset,” Master Gerd said to the man before turning to her. “Due to your increased injuries and… questionable mission tactics, you are being assigned a field handler.” She had become more careless in her missions. Leaving more messes and bodies behind. Coming back bloodier each time. Master Gerd had been growing more frustrated with it. Especially over her lack of tidiness. He’d said as much. Repeatedly. He couldn’t punish her directly for it, since she completed her missions effectively, but that hadn’t stopped him from finding other things to punish her for. The message was still clear. The momentary death and reviving needed after her last mission must have been the final straw. Though assigning her a field handler seemed a bit… unorthodox. She had grown more messy, true, but her completion rate had skyrocketed. She was completing missions normally reserved for squads or duos, alone, well under the allowed timeframe. Especially compared to before… no. Those weren’t things she should be thinking about. It wasn’t her place to question orders. She was trained to follow them. Nothing more. “This is Master Ronan Airvix. You will treat him with proper respect and you will obey his orders, just as you do mine. If I hear of disobedience, there will be serious consequences, is that understood?” “Yes sir,” she said listlessly. “You’ve been assigned another mission. Debrief and objective has been sent to your comm. Airvix will be accompanying you. You leave tomorrow morning.” “Yes sir.” He turned back to Master Airvix, waving a hand in her direction. “Do what you will with her until then. She’ll comply. Though try not to do too much damage to her before departure.” Master Airvix laughed. Forced and uncomfortable. “Of course. Anything I need to know about her history?” “Her file has been sent to you. If you have further questions you may ask Healer Asurr, myself, or her if you wish. Though she likely won’t know the answers you want. She’ll need three hours before departure to prepare her gear and stop in Physical for her pre-check.” “Right, got it.” Master Gerd left without another word. The door didn’t make a sound as it closed behind him. Leaving Master Airvix and her alone.

She kept her position. Waiting for his instructions. “I know Gerd introduced me as ‘Master Ronan Airvix’ but you can just call me Rage.” He chuckled a little. Hand rubbing the back of his neck. “Most people do. Nickname I earned myself in healing school. Uh, what else? Oh, I’m Mirralian, certified healer, and uh, I’m blind. Wasn’t born blind, result of an accident, but I’ve learned to live with it. Doesn’t stop me from ‘seeing’ and it’s helpful at times. What about you? What’s your name?” “Asset 703,” she said.  She wasn’t quite sure what to make of his little rambling about himself. Perhaps he just liked to hear himself talk? No. That didn’t seem to fit his personality. It seemed to make him uncomfortable if anything. So why would he bother? “Well, yeah I know your number, but what’s your name?” “Asset 703,” she repeated. This must be some kind of test. She didn’t have a name. Or at least, she wasn’t supposed to. Her number was all the identification she needed. Master Gerd had punished her many times when he caught her responding to a name.  Her name would never be spoken aloud again. It would remain buried deep in the crevices of her mind. Right next to the memories of them. She would keep those memories safe. Far out of the reach of the Mors. It was the only thing she had left to remember them by.  “Don’t the other Assets call you something else?” He asked. Brow scrunched. Frowning. “I’ve seen them call each other names before.” Many of the Assets did have names for each other. Most of the Masters didn’t mind. Even Master Gerd turned a blind eye to it.  But they were just Assets. She was different.  The other Assets didn’t talk to her, nor she them. If she was assigned a mission with them, they avoided her. She returned the favor and kept to herself. She was well aware her presence was unnatural. Disorienting. Unfavorable. There was no need for her to be close with anyone. She had learned her lesson on relationships well. Never again. “I go by A-703.” He shrugged. Eyeing her oddly, but otherwise accepting the answer. “Gerd said you have to report to Physical for a pre-check?” “Yes sir.” “Er, you don’t have to call me ‘sir.’ Rage is just fine, really.”  Was this some other test? To make sure she showed him the proper respect? Did she continue addressing him as Master Airvix and disrespect his wish? Or did she address him as Rage as he asked her too and disregard proper honorifics and manners? Either way could be perceived as insubordination.  “Might as well go to Physical now if you’re done here. I need a few things from them and I want to know you resting levels.” He started walking towards the door, talking still. She followed. “Gerd had mentioned something about you having genetic altercations? Something about Asurr working with you?” “Healer Asurr is my primary healer.” They were far more than her primary healer. She was still unsure how much information this man was granted. If he was digging for information, and he used it, linking it back to her, Master Gerd would have a serious punishment for her. It would be best if she remained quiet. Observed. Until Master Gerd had given her clearer instructions.

OC Questionnaire Tag

Thank you @paeliae-occasionally for the tag and @joseph-hooser for the tag!!

I’ll do 703 for the first one and Rage for the second!

Would you give away secret information if tortured? Be honest.

No. Part of Mors training makes sure we won’t crack under torture. I have been tortured. Many times. I know I won’t break.

Who could you trust the most with a secret?

No one. The only one you can trust is yourself.

You have been caught somewhere you shouldn’t be! Quick, what is your excuse?

Depends on the situation. Without context, my first instinct is going to be to kill whoever caught me. No witnesses.

If you were forced to kill someone, or die yourself, would you do it? why?

Honestly, I’d probably die. I mean, context is kind of important here, but if I have to decide without it, I’d probably just die myself. As a healer, I try my hardest to save everyone, and I think everyone deserves a chance to live.

What's your favorite colour, and why?

Uh, I can’t really answer this one because I’m blind. I guess technically I have seen colors before I was blinded, but that’s been so long ago I don’t really remember. I think maybe yellow. I’ve heard it’s nice color. Yellow makes me think of warmth.

Would you rather: knowing how you die, or when? why?

That’s a tough one. I think maybe when I die. To me, it doesn’t really matter how I die, but knowing when, I can make sure I make the most of whatever time I have and when the time comes say my goodbyes properly.

As usual, I'm doing EoWC's OCs! Side note, these lines could change, so don't take them for gospel lol

703:

First line: “The mission comes first. I won’t come back with nothing. That’s just asking for a punishment.” Most recent line: "I'm used to pain. It's part of the job."

Fres:

First line: "Get on the ship. I'll handle this." Most recent line: "Next time, I will kill you."

Rage:

First line: “Of course. Anything I need to know about her history?” Most recent line: “I’m sure you’re tired, I know I am. I know you aren’t going to sleep, but can you at least try to get some rest? And keep off your leg for the night it needs a break.”

I've got a couple tags built back up, so leaving this as an open tag for anyone who wants to hop on :D

[honeybewrites]

For the q&a, how did Ronan end up with the nickname Rage?

Thanks so much for the ask!!! This is such a fun one and I'm so excited to ramble about it!!!

SO! A little background for those that don't know.

Ronan Airvix. Bit of a celebrity, well off family, predominant in the Mirralian government. After graduating basic school, he went on to advanced learning, specializing in healing and becoming a certified Healer. From there, he went on to join the Mirralian military as a field Healer. He's a great Healer and has very strong Dad Vibes™ the dude pretty much adopts anyone that is slightly sad, hurt, or is just walking by themselves. He's like a giant golden retriever, which throws people off when he introduces himself as Rage. But anyone that really knows him, understands exactly why the name suits him.

During his military days, he worked closely with a team for a couple years. They got assigned a mission, basically suicide, and they all knew it. Except for Airvix. Things got bad quick. They were stranded, without a ship, being hunted, and all of them badly injured.

They ended up cornered, and Airvix... he lost his shit. Let's just say none of those hunters bodies were ever recovered. Well, they might have found the odd finger or foot.

Airvix got his team out, all of them alive, and he chewed out every single one of his teammates for being so stupid and reckless and not looking after themselves, right after publicly and verbally annihilating the ones that had assigned the mission to his team.

He scared everyone shitless. And after that point, the people that knew him made sure to stay on his good side, least they end up getting another lecture. Or worse, ending up like those hunters. Not that anyone believed he'd actually do that, but they certainly took his threats a lot more seriously. He clearly had the skills to back them up.

His teammates started the running joke, whenever one of them planned on doing something dangerous/stupid. "Don't let Rage catch you or you'll wish you were dead."

It started out as an inside joke and only the people closest to him used it. But eventually, Airvix was reassigned to the Mors. Shortly after, his teammates were all killed in action. After that, he started introducing himself as Rage, as a way to remember them and later, to distance himself from the Airvix name.

Thanks again @illarian-rambling for the ask!!

Five Lines Tag

Thank you @willtheweaver for the tag!!

Rules: Find five lines based on the prompts you are given, then change ONE of the prompts at the end.

Lines are from Echoes of War Chronicles

CW: torture, induced seizures, blood

As always, if I missed a tag or a different one would be better, please comment/DM to let me know!!

A line about a building

703 felt her foot slip back into free air. Her body fumbling to right itself, but never getting the chance. The agent barreled into her, sending her completely over the side of the roof. She didn't scream. She'd fallen too many times to be frightened of it. But she did fire up at the agent. Landing a solid mark on their shoulder. Tipping their body back out of her sight. Before she could pull on her energy, she was crashing through the ceiling of the next building over. Dust and rubble flew up around her. Glass shattering. The building must have been desolate for her to have crashed through with such ease. Then she hit the ground and all the air left her lungs.

A sad line (prequel to EoWC before Fres and 703 ended up as enemies)

She screamed. Thrashing harder against the latches. There was blood running down her fingers now. Running down her feet. Her arms would be bruised too. The second seizure came. This time, Fres screamed from the pain. Body arching painfully off the table, pushing against their restraints. She could see their veins popping, their muscles spasming. Her own body ached from seeing Fres in pain. When they slumped back on the table, their head stayed down this time. Still gasping for air, fingers and limbs twitching every few seconds. She desperately looked to Healer Asurr, but they were curiously watching Fres. That cursed notebook open and pen in hand. The third seizure came. This time, she sobbed as Fres cried out. Screaming and thrashing was all she could do, and it did nothing to help her star.

A line about a drink (this is actually an old line from Rage's POV, so not actually part of EoWC anymore, but I still had fun writing this scene a while back)

Rage downed the drink, featuring for the bar tender to get him another. A woman slid up next to him, and he was struck momentarily by the oddness of her choosing to sit next to him, instead of one of the many other open seats, but then he noticed how beautiful she was. She was nearly as tall as him, her hair braided in rows, bandana to keep it out of her face. High cheek bones and sharp, piercing eyes, full of intensity and unrelenting fire. Her clothes were simple. A loose, sleeveless shirt that showed the elegant curves of her biceps and forearms, and cargo pants that accentuated her waist. Rage tried not to let his eyes linger on her curving muscles or the accentuated parts of her chest. It was unbecoming of a man to gawk at a lady. None the less, he felt his face heat a little, so he downed his shot again. "Tough evening I take it?" Her angelic voice was a little at odds with the mass of muscle that she was. It was a melody of its own unique design and Rage was eager to learn the song.

A line about the weather

Naturally it would be snowing. A winter storm really. Huge gusts. Swirling, violent white flakes and sharp cutting pieces of ice. These storms weren't common here either. Maybe one or two a year. If that. She always did have notoriously bad luck when it came to disastrous circumstances. Fres used to joke she made up ninety percent of their bad luck. Right now she was inclined to agree. She would manage though. Just like she always did.

A fun line (this isn't necessarily a "fun" scene, but I had fun writing it)

"Please, you need to eat something." Rage set a plate down in front of her. "If you don't want this food, I'll get you something else, but you need to eat. I'm telling you to eat. Slowly, she looked down at the plate before her. There was a few slices of bread. She didn't know what kind, but to her, any bread was good. What was better was the apple slices and mango pieces. Those were a delicacy. Any fruit was a rarity. Though why he was giving her food, she wasn't sure. She didn't feel very injured. At least not severely enough to warrant a meal. Perhaps she was more injured than she realized? He had told her to eat. Surely... Master Gerd couldn't get upset when she had simply followed orders. Rage was her handler after all. If he told her to eat, she needed to obey. She took the plate, gingerly eating. Ancients. It was heavenly. The bread was warm, and there seemed to be some kind of... topping on it? Liquid and sweet, like honey, but much thinner and not quite as sweet. It was delicious all the same. The apple was the best thing she'd ever put in her mouth. Sweet and crisp and juicy. She could eat apples every day and never grow tired of them. The mango was nearly was good. Sweet with a little tanginess to it. Much softer than the apple though. It wasn't a bad thing, but she preferred the crunch of the apples.

Writing Share/WIP Wednesday Tag

Thank you @the-golden-comet for the tag!!

This is actually something I was working on last night, so by no means is it definitive, but hey, figured you guys would enjoy it anyways.

CW: mention of medical drugs

He reached out of her view, body leaning with him. When he came back, he held a vial. No. No. Not drugs.  Ancients. Anything but drugs. “It’s just painkillers. I need to get that debris out of your back and it’s going to hurt. I don’t want to cause any more damage. But,” he set the vial down, “if you don’t want them, I won’t give them to you.” She didn’t want the drugs. Not one bit. But… she knew Rage wouldn’t lie to her. Not about something like this. Rage wouldn’t hurt her. “Okay.” “I don’t—” “Jus’… do it.” Rage didn’t argue with her further. Instead, she watched as he measured the liquid into a syringe. “It’s just a local agent,” he said. “It’ll numb the spots on your back where you’ve got debris and nothing more.” The added pain was nothing, but she still fought to keep herself from flinching. She tried hard not to imagine Healer Asurr and their mystery drugs. This was not the same. Rage would not lie to her. He wouldn't hurt her like that.

Open tag for anyone that wants to hop on!! Which mean you, yes, you, the wonderful person reading this, are now tagged :D

[honeybewrites]

okay so i'm definitely going to do a deeper dive of your wip posts when i have time, but i saw you mention some of your secondary/minor characters like asurr and airvix- i don't think i've seen much about them, but just from that other ask where they were briefly mentioned they sound really interesting!! i would like to request any rambles you have about them if you're up for it lol

I am always up for rambles!!! And thank you for even just briefly stopping by my corner of the internet :) It makes me so happy!!!

This also turned out way longer than I expected it too. Oops.

Let's start with Ronan (Rage) Airvix!

The Airvix name is well known through Mirralia. All members of the name are well established figures of society. Think politicians, high ranking military, predominant healers, that kind of thing. So Ronan comes from a long line of high expectations, and he did not disappoint.

He went to healing school to become a certified Healer, and then joined the Mirralian military as a pilot and field Healer. His name quickly became well known through the Mirralian government as one of the best pilots they'd ever had.

Soldiers would always say to new recruits and people who had never worked with him before, "You better confess your sins (aka injuries from being stupid) now, unless you want to deal with Rage." The nickname stuck. And it suited him too. Rage's hot temper when it comes to healing is well known, but otherwise, he's a complete puppy!

Very friendly, talkative, kind, and maybe just a tad fatherly. It always surprises people as they expect with a big name like his, he'd have gotten a pretty big head.

What surprises people more, if the fact that he's blind. Rage has no trouble getting around or even fighting. When he was very young, he was involved in an accident that blinded him. Stubborn and determined as he is, especially at that age, he learned how to use elemental (the WIPs version of magic) to "see." Similar to Toph from AtLA, Rage can see his surroundings, outlines and details. You could also think of it like a bat. It has greatly increased his energy stamina (something required to use elemental) and in turn allows him to use more "taxing" elemental without getting quite as exhausted.

While in the Mirralian military, with his name being spread like fire, the Mors took an interest in him. And eventually, they offered him a job. Field handler and healer to some of their Assets and squads. The pay was ten times better, and so was the rank as the Mors were a special division. Plus, Rage was teased to possibly being let onto a high class project with his old school mate, Healer Asurr.

So Rage accepted the position. And that's how he came to meet 703 and adopt her become her field handler!

Now for Healer Asurr!

Dyvx Asurr was just your average kid. They came from a decent off family, an only child, and they had a pretty good childhood. They were exceptional in school, earning the top grades in every class, even skipping a few years. But Asurr always had a fascination for... questionable things.

They had several healing books and would often spend hours reading about some of the most horrendous acts committed during the Dragon War. Asurr could retain information like an encyclopedia and was constantly coming up with new ideas.

They would often capture animals and conduct experiments on them. They kept a very detailed log in a journal about their findings and future experiments they wished to conduct. Slowly though, they started moving to bigger, less four legged creatures for their experiments. Their log expressed a deep desire to conduct several experiments on other intelligent beings.

After graduating basic school early, Asurr went on to healing school where they met Airvix. The two were close, though Airvix never knew of his friend's experiments or other questionable hobbies. The two went their separate ways after school.

Finally free and out on their own, Asurr went about trying to make their desired experiments a reality. It took a few years, but they were finally able to kidnap a Mirralian. One just shy of crossing the legal age. His experiment went gruesomely wrong and resulted in the Mirralian's death.

It quickly caught the government and media's attention. Along with the Mors. Healer Asurr faced trial and was convicted. The public was told they would be sentenced to twenty years of confinement. However, that was not the sentence carried out. Instead, Healer Asurr was interviewed by the Mors. The Mors were curious about their theories and experiments, and Healer Asurr was more than happy to tell them. After the long interview, Asurr was offered a job with the Mors. A very high position, with all the resources they could ask for, to carry out their experiments. The Mors had a very special project they wanted Asurr to perfect for them.

Project Viall.

The project that would eventually create Asset 703.

Rating OC Headcanons Tag

Thank you @the-golden-comet for the tag and @yourpenpaldee for the tag!! I've been wanting to hop on this one! Even though it took me long enough to post it.

Rules: use this headcanon generator to generate some headcanons for your OCs! How accurate are they?

Asset 703

703 is unemployed

0/10. 703 is technically employed, though it's not her choice to be. When you were created for a specific purpose, you generally don't get a whole lot of say on what you get to do.

703 is very good at using chopsticks.

10/10. Surprisingly, yes. She can use them both for food and as lethal weapons. Her training covered a variety of subjects, including things like Realms cultures and how to turn ordinary objects into weapons.

Fres

Fres knows the lyrics to the Ouran Highschool Host Club theme song by heart.

6/10. I had to google this one, because I had no idea what it was. I feel like if Fres was in our world, yeah they would probably know the words to this, or at least most of the words. I feel like they would be pretty big into all the anime things in general.

Fres has an incredible long-term memory but an awful short-term memory.

3/10. For little everyday things, like meals and chores, absolutely. When it comes to important things though, like missions and retrieving information, they're not going to forget what color their fifth assailant was wearing. Part of their Mors training they've still retained.

Rage Airvix

Rage sucks at saying tongue twisters.

8/10. Yeah, he's pretty bad at then. After quite a bit of practicing, he can usually nail it down. Granted it's not very good, but he thinks it's good enough.

Rage nearly drowned in a river as a child.

10/10. One hundred percent yes. The man is not a strong swimmer, and being young and blind would've only made things worse. Rage generally stays away from water when he can, both because he can't swim well and because it's so much harder for him to see.

OC Interaction Tag 3

Thank you @willtheweaver for the tag!! Part 1 is here and 2 here.

willtheweaver's OC

Granddaughter of the village chief, Playa sometimes wishes she wasn’t. As a fox who values hard work and reaching her goals fair and square, she hates the favoritism and nepotism that most of the adults show her. As a result she prefers the company of younger members of the village .She has dreams of becoming a hunter and has little interest in politics. However, her strong sense of duty, caring nature, and moral compass means that she would (reluctantly) cast her own interests aside for the sake of the community.

My OC

Rage grew up in a very wealthy and predominant family. Blinded in an accident when he was young, he taught himself how to see using elemental (magic). He is very laid back, very kind and would patiently help you with your math homework. He went to school to become a healer, and loves being able to help his patients. While Rage loves his family, they generally don't get along the greatest due to past arguments and expectations.

Playa and Rage

I think they would get along pretty good. Both of them grew up in predominant families and both of them value hard work. He doesn't see anyone being better than anyone else, regardless of status, and I think he would be one of the few adults she wouldn't mind talking to. Rage would push Playa to follow her dreams to be a hunter, but would also understand wanting to put the community first. Rage has a habit of getting attached to younger people and basically adopting them, and I don't see that changing with Playa.

Until I finish getting through my tag list, I'm going to be leaving everything as an open tag! So if you want to hop on, feel fresh!! <3

OC Facts Tag

Thank you @the-golden-comet for the tag and @sableglass for the tag!! Once again, sorry for the delay in tags!! Trying to get through most of them today and tomorrow, so wish me luck haha

Rules: Make a list of fun facts about your OCs. Like a headcanon list, if you will! Except it's actually canon lol.

Asset 703

-She doesn't like thunderstorms or small spaces. Both are a result of multiple traumatic situations. She can manage it most of the time though, more out of a necessity than actually coping. -She can and will sleep anywhere if she is not required to stay awake for some reason. Trees, the ground, the smallest spaces you can find. It doesn’t matter. -She keeps all of her things meticulously organized. This is more a habit drilled into her since birth from the Mors then something she does herself. -She's a big foodie, but you will never get her to admit it. She can’t cook worth shit, but she sure as hell will eat anything, especially if it’s good food *cough cough* Rage *cough cough*

Rage

-He is a fantastic cook/baker. He could have opened a restaurant if he’d wanted and it would have blown up so fast. People would kill for his food. -He is somewhat of a celebrity. The Airvix name is well known through Mirralia as a predominant family. Generally, he tries to avoid telling people his last name because of this. -He was actually the first person to come up with the technique he uses to see. It made news headlines and still to this day, he is the only one using the technique. -He is really good with kids. Whether it's in a clinical setting or just in everyday life, kids love him and he loves them. He'll sit at the kids table at Thanksgiving before sitting with the adults.

Fres

-They are a fashion expect and always look stylish. They have a massive wardrobe. Everything from dresses to suits and any kind of accessory you can think of. -They have a phenomenal singing voice, but they don't usually sing. They will often hum when they are absorbed in their work, but to hear them sing is a rarity and a treat. -They love their scars, even though the circumstances Fres got them under weren't good, they consider the scars an important part of them and often wear clothing that promptly displays the scars. -Fres loves plants! They are definitely a plant parent and their house is full of different plants, some extremely rare.
