   A Character Introduction

“Can’t you get it? This is my one last chance to right everything wrong back to normal! I can finally be worth something for once in my life…”

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦Information✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦

Name: Aerlyra Kcara Ghorne

Nicknames: Aer, Aery, and Lyra in some cases

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/her

Orientation: Pansexual

Age: 29 years old

Birthdate: April 23rd

Birthplace: Haukrosen, Pytharios of Khri

Species: Human

Occupation: Fisherman & fish merchant

Education: Highly educated from the Queen’s Academy for Young Learners of Magic in Haukrosen, Pytharios of Khri

Current Residence: Korsk, Pytharios of Khri

✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦Personality✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦

Aerlyra Ghorne can be defined by her compassionate attitude yet nervous nature. She is very receptive to others viewpoints and ideas, speaking with them about various topics and learning new things. But, she is also well known as a push-over to those around her. Along with being quite the meek and unassuming type, she also tries to stay out of everyone’s way to focus on her own needs. This is shown as she keeps her head down and out of trouble in Korsk, her new home, for now. While she is quite the generous person to those who really need it, sometimes she can be too generous as an overcompensation which lends itself directly into her gullibility. As in, she trusts in people way too often, leading to her getting hurt and running away from her problems. Emotions, despite her not really wanting them to, basically control her actions.

Surely better things are ahead in her future. Being chosen by the Queen to accomplish a job only she can do has definitely resparked her desires to please and lead others. Yet still, she has those worry-wort thoughts in the back of her brain.

MBTI Type: INFP-T

Alignment: Neutral good

Likes: Learning new things, other people & their stories/lives, keeping away from conflicts, reading, journaling, puzzles, loud & bustling environments, being nice to others

Dislikes: Not being on time, not living up to her own high expectations, letting her nerves & emotions get to her, quiet & alone places, herself, taking charge of herself/things in her life & other’s, public speaking, fish 

Goals: Starting out, she just wants to survive to the next day. But, after she gets chosen by the Queen to kill the Bone-Binder, her entire mission, and worth, in life changes to solely just that as she wants to regain some semblance of a good reputation through that…

Hobbies: Trying out new braid techniques and hairstyles, reading, journaling, meditating, trying out new herbal teas from the market when she can fit it into her budget

✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦Appearance✦⋆𓆩✧𓆪⋆✦

Height: 5’ 6” or 167 cm

Weight: 145 lbs or 66 kg

Build: Pear shaped build; Lean and muscular, yet somewhat starved in recent years

------------------------------

Aerlyra sat at the edge of her chair, peering into the small, silver mirror that laid on the table in front of her, watching herself at work. Interviewing her curly, dark hair together was certainly a huge task for her to do. It was quite monotonous work. Each coarse tendril rubbed against her fingers so much that they were going numb. Looping one strand at a time of her black hair over another—repeating it again with the next strand to its side—into an intricate pattern, as she had to do three times over for each braid on her head. So much effort went into braiding together the thick strands. Arguably too much for its results.

Finishing one of the braids on the side of her head, she stopped for a moment to take a look in the mirror at her progress. Only two of the three braids were completed, with the hardest one in the back and the other on the side finally done. Aerlyra let out a sigh of relief. Almost over. She picked up the mirror on her table to inspect herself further, wiping away the curly stragglers off of her light face. The mirror proved that her work so far was serviceable, but nothing too unusual from its usual quality. She was just going to work then home again anyways, and it wouldn’t be all that visible from her from her winter coat’s fuzzy hood. 

Looking at her work from the reflection, she closed her eyes. She tried to just forget what it looked like. Perfection just brings pain, but yet, deep down, she still so desperately craved it. No matter how much she denied it. But, she knew she could never be, she was not even close to being perfect. It’s been proven time and time again. It was a hard truth she had to swallow, that she wasn’t going anywhere now, that she was a wash-up. 

Keeping her eyes closed, she placed back down the tiny mirror. She began to hum a song as she started on the last section of her unbraided to her right. She wasn’t sure where she heard the song. Music doesn’t come far enough to seek her here. Not many things did anymore. It was her own choosing, anyway. Tears welled in her eyes as she opened them to look at herself when her thoughts got louder.

Glancing out the window before she got up to get dressed, she watched the clouds swirl and dance high up in the sky, as free as the birds playing in their midst, as free as she would never be. She knew it, the tears reinforced that. It was the same as life back home. Nobody is ever truly free. The very thing she wanted to escape, or rather run from, had followed her all the way to her tiny cabin in the expansive woods, just outside of a nobody town that not even a Queensman bothered to occupy. 

Queensman. How she loathed that word. Not for what it stood for, but for what it became to her. Just another thing she didn’t have the guts to do. Another thing she failed to do. The taste of the word in her mouth made her feel worthless for even trying. 

Smearing the trails of tears off of her white face as she finished her hair, she threw herself off the chair, toppling over the chair along with her, and steeled herself for the upcoming day ahead of her. She couldn’t be late for work, she would like to eat that night.

Favorite food and drink of all major characters if a wip of your choice

Hi Ellia! Thanks for the ask! (I got scared when this didn’t show up on my main account and I thought I deleted it, but false alarm lol).

Alrighty, fave food and drinks. I’ll do this with tbbc because they have the most development!

Aerlyra is a soup girl, she likes Ursara meat in hers the most but yknow that’s expensive so usually she can take what she can get with just vegetables and broth. But a hot meal’s a hot meal! Her favorite drink has to be hot tea, of any kind. Though, she prefers herbal teas that calm her nerves down the most.

Perci loves him some him some cheese on bread. Like that cream/cottage cheese stuff on sourdough. He lovesss it even though that stuff is absolutely abhorrent. He has very fond memories of having it as a kid when his father was around and the world made sense. For his favorite drink, he loves ice cold milk and coffee, but admittedly, it's basically a cup of milk.

Idalia probably a bowl of nails without any milk...kidding of course. She likes a lot of meat, Ursara since she can afford it in abundance, so just a whole plate of that she would definitely enjoy. Her poor cholesterol. Her favorite drink has got to be whisky on the rocks and that isn't a joke this time lol

Melina uhh she would probably like something fancy and rich made from the blood of innocents with gold shavings on top served on a silver platter, drinking the most expensive wine she could buy with the money off the backs of the people she betrayed and exploited. she doesn't eat or drink ^ - ^, in fact, she doesn't even need to speak ^ - ^ Melina is a good and nice person who wouldn't even harm a fly

Nilus hmmm he would probably have water but the most pure stuff kind from inside a glacier and that's ITTTT

and [REDACTED] hmm? Who's that. Maybe a future problem? Possibly ;)

Thanks again for the ask ellia! Sorry its sooooo late lol

₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊The 3rd Day of Writemas₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊

Howdy!! Back at it again with Writmas! It’s kinda late sinceI live in a completely different timezone so yeah T_T. Uh anyways, Here is the invite post! And here are the prompts for Day 3!!!

Prompts used:

Setting: A carriage

Narration: She had never felt so alone in all her life.

Dialogue: "Tell me everything."

A new one is about to drop so it may be a bit short! I’m trying to get on track with the rest of y’all haha. 

Read about the WIP here!!

Here it is!

------------------------------

“Set course to the Capital.” 

Aerlyra froze in her tracks. The Capital? As in The Capital? Haukrosen? It was almost a foreign word to her now. Almost a lifetime had passed since she had heard the city’s name, much less been there. She hadn’t thought she would ever be back. Not after such a short time, anyways. 

“Tell me what exactly we are doing, Sir. Tell me everything." Aerlyra prodded them. Though, regret washed over her. No one ever talks back to a Queensmen. She winced in anticipation of a reprimand. 

“Ms. Ghorne, we do not have all day.” The Queensmen muttered, seemingly stifling a response. 

She noticed his strange attitude towards her. Something was important about her. Almost like she had to be protected. Something larger was happening. Something right under her nose. Could it be related to those disappearances? Why me, of all people?

Aerlyra quelled her thoughts down. Nothing gets down with thoughts like that. Her gaze shifted to the step that laid out in front of her. The cart was huge, about half the size of her cabin. Expensive golden rods held it up, winding around the body intricately. It was quite the spectacle, looking out of place in this neck of the woods.

Though, She stayed in her spot. Was hesitancy or fear that weighed her feet down? Her heart skipped a couple of beats. This step was too large for her to take. She looked back at her quaint cabin in the woods. Before she knew it, her own two feet jumped onto the stairs of the carriage. After she regained her footing, she held onto the sides of the cart. She looked down at her clothes. They were nice—yes—, but not something to meet the Queen in. Then at her home. The only thing that kept her warm these days. A comforting place with no worries. There must be a reason they chose me. That the Queen chose me. A purpose. Yes–a higher one perhaps, but a purpose nonetheless. Something ignited within Aerlyra. She could feel her body temperature rise, and the biting cold air did little to stop it. Again, she looked back at her shack. It stood quiet. Miniscule. Broken down. Covered in snow. Separated from the rest of the world. Truth was, she had never felt so alone in all her life. So, wiping off the ice cold snow from her coat, she hops inside the carriage, planting herself firmly into the seat where she eagerly awaits the long journey to begin. 

Remember to be formal. She told herself, smiling for the first time in a while, You don’t want to mess up your only chance. ------------------------------

₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊The 19th Day of Writemas₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊

Howdy!! HOly smokes, we are really in the homestretch now! Here you can find out what writemas is in the invite post and here you can find the prompts for today!! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!

Prompts used:

Feeling: The burn of icy air

Setting: A festival

Finally! We are back to a genuinely nice girl! Took me long enough LOL. Gotta love Aerlyra <33

Read about the WIP here!!

Please enjoy! XOXO

------------------------------

The bitter cold air swept beneath Aerlyra’s feet as she stepped off the transport that brought her before the gates of the capitol. Nearly getting swept off her feet, she continued on up the stairs with a Queensman occupying her side. 

It almost burned her skin clean off, it was that icy. But she persevered. Carefully with swift movements, she came up to the top of the stone stairway. She met the men guarding the gate with a quick glance of appreciation while she awaited further instructions. 

A cast of people came after her, each under the authority of ‘Queensman Hyde’ and each adorned with the same dark brown colored armor. The Queensman himself, who had followed her up, silently nodded to the guards out front to lower the gates for them to enter.

As the gates opened for the first time in eons for Aerlyra, humid air blasted into their faces. The temperature difference would’ve sent her into shock if she wasn’t so excited to be back in Haukrosen. All around the city, festivities commemorating her arrival ensued. Fireworks flew through the sky, filling the air with magnificent bright colors she had never even dreamed of. Drinks came and went. The city embellished itself with beautiful flower arrangements. Decorations lined the streets. Performances in her name. Aerlyra was the talk of the town, proving true as fliers painted the streets that spoke of the special event of that day. It was as if she was some sort of deity that had come down to grace her people one last time.

“Oh, wow! All of this… just for me?” Aerlyra caught her breath, she had been so busy eyeing everything they had laid out for her she forgot to take in a breather. It was just that exciting.

“Yeah! People are absolutely nuts about you. Been that way for about a week at this point. It’s been a week, right Nilus?” One of the Rookes, one that she had spoken to in the cart before arriving, said with a small chuckle, tapping the towering Queensmen next to him on the arm.

He looked down at the boy and formally replied, “Yes, sir, Tarros. The Queen has made a pretty big deal about Ms. Ghorne here.”

Aerlyra couldn’t answer. She couldn't bring herself to. How could she? Nothing had prepared her for such a moment. A moment where people appreciated her. It was a day of firsts, definitely.

After taking it all in, and basking in it, did she took her first step into greatness.

₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊The 6th Day of Writemas₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊

Hey y’all!!!! I don’t have anything funny or creative to say right here so here is the invite post and here are the prompts for day 6!!! Finals week is upon us (well me really) so I am going to be posting more infrequently BUT I will be posting every remaining day of writemas if it kills me. <3

Prompts used:

Narration: The world had never been so silent, it felt a crime to break it, to utter a sound.

Feeling: The silence of nature

Now, let’s get into it! I’m using Aerlyra again because these prompts called for it and I do what I want. So here ya go!

Read about the WIP here!!

Hope y’all enjoy it!!!

------------------------------

A small cabin in the woods stood alone against the everlasting chilling air and white tipped trees. Inches upon inches of snow covered the roof, porch and windows, almost engulfing the entire cabin in white, providing evidence that a storm had hit the night before. Though, with the white of the snow covering the dark brown of the buon wood that made up the home, it created unity with the flurried landscape. Serenity was practically perfected by the land. The world had never been so silent, it felt a crime to break it, to utter a sound. If true peace could be achieved, it would be right there. 

“Agh, dammit! Get on, I’m going to be late!” Aerlyra screamed as she kicked open the door with her one free foot, with the other in hand, struggling to fit in her work boots, desperately trying to steady herself on her single foot on the floor of her porch, “I. Have. To. Make. Money. Come on! Just let me do this.”

Aerlyra groaned as she had to put on the last of her gear as she stumbled out the front door, knocking snow around as she fit on her stubborn boot. Stomping it on, she settled her hands on her waist in satisfaction. She lifted her scarf up to her mouth and slammed the door shut, causing snow to fall all over her. Rolling her eyes, she swiped it off her and picked up the lit lantern hanging up on the roof, illuminating her view. 

It was still quite dark for the morning time, even for the winter. The sky was pitch black still and the view was hazy, at best. Using the lantern to see a bit more, she tried to make out anything recognizable of the bleak world she saw. She trotted down the stairs carefully with her arm holding the lantern extended out to guide her path. As she bent over to see the stairs closely, a small object fell out of her coat. The object had a long wooden rod, made of a much lighter wood that couldn’t be found in these parts of Pytharios. A pink faceted gemstone was fixed at the end of it, held up with sturdy metal cords that continuously curled around the wooden rod in beautiful patterns.

“You don’t want me to use this ever again, okay?” She said cautiously looking around, speaking to no one in particular, then picking up the now, foreign object to her.

As she held the wand, Aerlyra felt the many memories absorb into her. Still, she kept her head up and eyes fixated entirely away from it. She saw the small stable on the side of her cabin with her lantern. She quickened up the pace through the snow, trying to wad through faster to get to the stable.

“Eshi, come here!” 

Suddenly, out of the doors, came a majestic white and grey horse barreling over. Aerlyra held out her hands towards Eshi as he stopped next to her, and gripped onto him to help her through the snow. It stood on its strong, stout legs and stocky frame, awaiting orders from Aerlyra. She tucked her wand back into her coat's pocket, properly this time, and dug through the piles of snow and picked up her saddle on the ground where it sat propped up against the stable’s wall and threw it over Eshi, strapping it in snuggly. She scrambled to get onto the large and imposing horse. As he settled in nicely to the comforting saddle, she rubbed her horse’s neck affectionately to ease him down. 

“Let’s go.”

₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊The 12th Day of Writemas₊˚｡⋆❆⋆｡˚₊

HURRAY!! We are halfway done with the writemas season! It’s actually really sad to see it go by so quickly. I was having so much fun. Oh well, time flies when you are havin’ fun right? If you missed the rules here they are in the invite post! And here are today's prompts for the 12th day of Writemas! Break time is finally here! Thankfully, for my break I get 6 weeks off of classes(since I’m not doing winter semester classes, just returning for spring semester), so I am eternally grateful for that! I hope everyone else's breaks will be just as relaxing as mine will be, I know we all need it right now!

Prompts used:

Feeling: The softness of snow

Setting: A tavern(at the beginning only lol)

Today is a fun day, I love writing for Aery so you get more of her today!

Read about the WIP here!!

XOXO Hope y’all enjoy it!!

------------------------------

Aerlyra practically fell onto the chair. With her drink almost spilling out of the glass as she forced her head down into her arm, resting atop the table. She lifted her head up once the time she sat there, only to down the shot in her grasp. Once feeling the burn slide down her throat, she turned her glass over and slammed it down. Then, throwing her head down back into her interlocked arms and facing the table top, she tried to make sense of it all.

I was needing a pay bump this week. How could she get that bonus? How did she have so much more profit than us? It’s completely not fair.  Aerlyra caught herself in her mistake, Well I do know why! She has a whole team who actually like to work together. No one likes me on my team. That’s why we can’t catch anything. That, and she’s completely perfect, a perfect leader, one they all trust. But not my team! If only I spoke up more, maybe held myself better, and led my team to success. Maybe I can get more profits. Oh, where’s the point there? It’ll never happen! Maybe one day we can get lost in the waters and give up and become friends with the fish we are supposed to sell. Oh, how I hate fish. Everything about them! It just makes my stomach turn when I smell it. An unsightly disgusting group of creatures. Now, I guess I have to sell Eshi to cover—

Without warning, she heard explosive commotion outside of the tavern. Aerlyra could hear that something was pounding loudly against the dirt road outside through the windows of the building. Horses, and lots of them. But, very few in Korsk owned a horse. Even then, they didn’t ride in groups, and so urgently. That could mean only one thing. Aerlyra had to know if they were here, all the way out to Korsk. Quickly wiping her tears away and downing another shot that magically appeared next to her, probably left there out of sympathy from the waitress, she ran out the door and into the frigid expanse.

Snow started to cling to the edges of Aerlyra’s coat. Soft clumps were thrown about through the air as she hurried to get to the men. Trudging through the icy cold to talk to Queensmen was the last thing she thought she would ever be doing. It had been at least three years, three long years, since she had seen a Queensmen’s face, coming through town, horseback, to a city. 

“Hello, Mr. Queensman, sir! Do you mind me asking a few questions about…all of this?” Aerlyra smiled and tried her best to be polite to the man. 

“Sure, “ The man looked over his shoulder to her, diverting his body, “What do you have in mind? Are you interested?”

Aerlyra let go of a gasp she didn’t know she held within her, “Oh! No, no, sir! Definitely not, I already served my time. I was just wondering what you and your division are doing here in Korsk. I mean, you are mighty far away from the Capital. Is there—”

“You already served? I should’ve known. Who did you serve under? 

“I hardly think anything like that is important, sir. Can you please tell me what’s going on? We don’t get a lot of news here, I’m sure you know why you were sent here. So, if you could enlighten me on a few details, sir. Please?” Aerlyra stayed strong in her intent to find the root of why Queensmen started to suddenly scatter around Korsk, of all places.

“Ma’am, we are here to broaden the scope of the Army outside of just the capital. We are just here for the recruitment of children in Cursk for the Queen’s Academy for Young Learners of Magic, for right now. So, there won’t be any Army recruiters taking people off the roads to , or drafts for that matter. Though, you can still apply if you would like.”

“Why do you need people from Korsk? Isn’t there enough children in Haukrosen to pack the academy full? There aren’t many people exposed to magic around these parts, sir. They are severely disadvantaged compared to the kids from the Capital.” Aerlyra questioned further, her curiosity piqued. 

“Well, you sure do seem enthusiastic about this, so many questions. Incredibly knowledgeable, too. Are you sure you aren’t interested?” He simply asked, shoving an Army application paper in front of her, “All you have to do is take this and bring it back with your documentation. You can always finish your service to the Queen. There’s always a place welcoming you with open arms in the Queen’s Army.”

Aerlyra hesitated for a moment, as if she actually wanted to follow through with it, but she knew she couldn’t ever again, “I’m sorry, I can’t. I, um, must go now, sir. It’s been a pleasure, really, but I’m just not cut out for that sort of stuff anymore. Or really ever in the first place. I’m not fit for the job, I have another job anyways. One with great pay!”

She backed away from the Queensman, punching herself down as to why she even thought it would be a good idea. Rounding the corner, Aerlyra took off to make her way back to her lonesome cabin just up north of town.

Our wonderful host <3 → @agirlandherquill Have a lovely day everyone!!

[vesanal]

happy (late) sts!

tell me about your favorite character at the moment! any silly facts? cool arcs? tell me!

and have a lovely day ✨

Hi! It’s still sts somewhere, lol right? So, let’s do this!! This is a great time to introduce my OC Aerlyra Ghorne from my current project, The Bone-Binder’s Covenant!! 

________________________________________________________

Aerlyra is a very work-oriented person. Most things she attempts are done to feel successful and good. She feels an impending doom that her time to be productive is running out. There wasn't really a moment of her accomplishing a thing that was deemed productive. She doesn't know what to do with herself. She feels lost. Aerlyra was brought up in an environment thinking that if she couldn’t find a use for herself in the world then she is nothing. She ended up believing this, which heavily contributed to the current state of her anxiety. All of her life as she hasn’t ever found a place to truly fit into place…until the Queen chose her, out of all the qualified people, to kill the Bone-Binder. He, who has just come back after 100 long years of peace, broke his deal with the nation and now must be stopped. She instantly grabs at this. Finally I have a purpose!! I have something to actually achieve!!! No reluctant hero here!! Now, this is an incredibly toxic mindset that she starts out with. No one is useless, even if they haven’t accomplished anything “useful enough”. And that is one of her major arcs. She shouldn’t have to have done something to be considered worthy, but she keeps at her mission because she wants to not because she has to prove herself. This is a cause to fight for. It’s for the sake of Pytharios and its safety. Her mission is about saving her country from evil, not to turn herself into the best weapon she can be for it. She is and always has been enough. Favorite character by far and totally not at all because of her similarities to me lmao. 

Hmmm. Some silly facts about my girl is that she is an absolutely terrible singer and musician. To be fair, the academy didn’t have any actual music classes (Not that she would have taken them anyway). 

Also, she has no concept of greenery and plant life. Since Pytharios is kinda stuck in an eternal winter she has yet to see a tree that isn’t dead/dormant. At least, at this point in the story. 

One more thing is that she doesn’t like fish. Any kind. None at all. She can’t keep it down. It’s absolutely disgusting to her. Despite it being a very popular food in Pytharios, making its way into many of it's dishes. It’s definitely a struggle for her but she gets by on the tasty, yet somewhat expensive, Ursara meat. ________________________________________________________

Thank you @seastarblue for the ask! Have a lovely day too!!

If anyone would like to know more about The Bone-Binder’s Covenant (story, characters, and world/worldbuilding/magic system/etc) I will be posting more about it in the next few days. Stick around! You can also send me an ask too! Asks are always open! Have an amazing day everyone <3!!

Pronouns are She/Her

Plotter by heart, I cannot call a story finished if I do not know every minute detail. Quite overwhelming at times but I get by!

I am a stressed out college student who probably shouldn't be scrolling tumblr all day long but here I am. 

Computer Science/Math Major, I couldn’t decide on which subject to drain my soul from so I picked both. If I am a bit inactive at times it is due to this 

Love to yap and listen to certified yappers about fandoms and OC’s. Infodump about WIPs to me!!! I will gladly listen!!

Proud lesbian, and yes the lgbt girl in CS stereotype is alive and true. If you have a problem with this you are on the wrong website friend

Some of my favorite genres are Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Drama. Gotta love TV shows and movies to absolutely nerd out over :D

The type of music I like is all over the place but mostly I stick to hard rock, heavy metal, and thrash metal (I would be more than happy to tell y'all about the bands and like and even recommend some)

My MBTI personality type is INTP-T

I am a complete Tumblr NOOB. Please bear with me here while i try to figure out the hellsite <3

My time zone is CST/CT (Central Time)

You can DM me anytime. Along with asks too, but please do not send me any promotions or begs for money. PLEASE. I have gotten a few of those recently and I just want to say that is not what my blog is for. Other than that, asks are completely open! If you have a question, please ask me!!! :) <3

→Some of the wips of mine:

(There will be separate intro/masterposts for each of these when i get to them

The Bone-Binder’s Covenant 

(click link to see masterpost)

Basic Premise: The Bone-Binder has broken his promise with the land of Pytharios, and is now terrorizing the region to get what he wants. Chosen directly by the Queen, Aerlyra Ghorne–a promising yet incredibly unsure woman–is tasked to stop him for once and for all. With the help of her assigned crew and companions who join alongside her during the journey, she hopes to do just that.

Genre: Dark Fantasy; Adventure

Status: Active (Somewhat done and planned, still getting a feel for everything, still brainstorming some ideas)

I will be adding more links as I post!!

We Die As One

(Adding masterpost soon)

Basic Premise: Tells the story from a series of ancient journals that are uncovered showing the events following up the total wipeout of all magic. The journal entries focus on a group of scrappy, young heroes who are on a mission against the world, and fail to stop the evils of the world from taking over. All that is left of them is the journals, leaving the ways of the past to be seen as a distant memory and an inspiration to the new generation, who see how the world came to what it has become.

Tags: #We Die As One or #WDAO

Genre: High Fantasy; Action-Adventure

Status: Active (ish, still in idea-phase)

I will be adding more links as I post!!

I still have more WIPS but those are secrets for later ;)

I’ll be posting mainly about my wips, ask games, the occasional art, and writing memes so stay if you are into that!! You can ask me questions any time, don’t be afraid to ask!

ʚɞ  ~The Bone-Binder’s Covenant Masterpost~ ʚɞ  

(it’s not 100% done yet please don’t kill me)

Genre & Themes:

Dark Fantasy & Adventure; Finding yourself, finding your group, what defines success, justice, abuse of power/gaining power by deception, greed, friendship, deceit and true loyalty.

Synopsis: 

After many failed attempts to neatly fit in within the ranks of the Queensmen, Aerlyra Ghorne retires to the cold barons of northern Pytharios, where she has the dangerous job of harpooning fish and selling her catches at the market and scraping by on the measly profits from her fish. Not much of an upgrade. One day, after a hard night from work, the Queensmen Guard shows up at her door. The Queen desperately needed Aerlyra in the capital for a secret conference. Aerlyra joins them immediately, leaving a life of smelling like fish and meager wages behind gladly. She feels she has purpose for herself now, like life has a set direction for her. All she has to do is follow it. When arrived in the capital Pytharios, the Queen gives her the mission to save Pytharios from the evils of the Bone-Binder. The Bone-Binder, who had agreed to stay away from the living world of Pytharios in exchange for land in the far east and representation in the overhead Council of Khri, has broken his covenant when the world was at peace for 100 years. Pytharios is in danger now. Everyday, more and more people go missing, or worse, come back mangled from the Bone-Binder using their bodies and soul to create his reanimated army to get the power he lusts for. Diplomacy hasn’t worked in negotiations with him, and now Aerlyra is chosen to fulfill the Prophecy to stop him for good. Set with her team of elite warriors and found family, she intends to do just that.

Happy STS! It's the time for new year's resolutions and the like..Are your ocs goal-oriented? Are they the type to have a 5 year-plan, or do they take it day by day? Do they have grand schemes for the future, or are they just trying to survive till tomorrow?

Hello! Sorry this is so late, I was putting this off for New Year’s Eve!! Happy very very late sts <3 (somehow I made it in time)

Now onto the question…Yes! I’d defo like to think my OCs are goal-oriented!! I’ll be using some members of the tbbc crew(I rlly need a group name for them) for this one!

———

Aerlyra, when the story starts, is just trying to get by in life. She is very alone and works a thankless, low paying job that makes it harder and harder every day to keep going on with a smile. She won’t think so far ahead ever again, it only kept her out of the present. So, after quitting and abandoning her old life, she decided to focus only on the now. She doesn’t want to worry anymore. Why do that when she can just let a monotonous life keep her going along(barely) as she drags her feet across the snow to get through it. Day by day, is about all she can take to think about.

Idalia is very much different from her, being the person to plan out every little thing to get to her goal. Whether she is trying to implement laws or creating peace for the Milev citizens, it is very strict and structured. She will work hard to make sure everything she sets out to do gets done in a timely fashion. There won’t be any fooling around under her watch if it means she can’t have her order. She must check off her to-do list one by one.

Perci, has many, many HUGEEE plans for himself. He just cannot decide on which plan to go through with all that talent he’s got…good thing the government already decided for him! Hurray for government!!! Perci doesn’t worry, a skilled kid like him is bound to excel wherever he is put. And just by following along in the large footsteps in front of him set by his father, he can do it, even if it is a huge load to bear(much like his heavy loaded goals). He is going to achieve his goals eventually if he listens to all of the older people in charge of him, right? He is going to keep going on, and try to complete his greatest aspirations even if it kills him to do so.

———

Now, for spoliery reasons I cannot go into everyone’s goals and aspirations so here is just a small taste of what kinda life some of the characters lead.

Again, sorry for the delay in response to the sts ask! My bad! Thanks so much for the ask!! <3
