#also the lung-hemorrhage spell is a joke. it's not an actual spell that exists (though ivy could easily figure out how to do it anyways)

[red-eft]

for the ask meme - 1, 7, 10, 12, 24 aand 30 for adonis and ivy !

thank you for the ask! :>

adonis

1. does your oc have any motifs?

yep! his motifs are the night sky (secrecy), gold (royalty; his noble house), gunpowder (his weapon of choice is a pistol), and beetles- specifically dynastinae, because [redacted spoilers] :)

7. what is the thing your oc likes most about themselves?

he doesn’t like it at first, but he gets used to the traits of [redacted creature] that his body gains, he starts to like it. he feels stronger and more "himself." the traits his body gained include scale-like growths along his forearms, claws, a tail, improved sight, and sharper teeth.

he learns how to shapeshift these traits, too. he gets good at making himself stronger or prettier with them however he wants wjldsflk

10. what kind of music do they enjoy?

oh man. i've never thought about what the music in my post-apoc setting is like.. i'm just gonna go with modern music for now. he'd enjoy indie stuff..? maybe?

throwing a few songs out here that i could see him listening to: "the physical attractions" by the symposium, "i think i left the stove on" by hotel ugly, and "drive away" by the brummies/kacey musgraves. he's not used to super loud/energetic music, but he doesn't like music that's purely instrumental/too calm, either. he associates it with bad memories from growing up with that kind of music.

12. how well does your oc do in school?

adonis does okay. he might slack off in class or procrastinate his work, but at the end of the day, he gets it together well enough to pass. he might cheat during a test or two.

24. how does your oc handle the death of someone they know?

poorly. he runs away from it, both physically and metaphorically.

30. does your oc wish to be married someday?

he's not big on marriage. growing up, adonis was always told that he would be married off to someone from another noble house. that never happened, fortunately, but he still dislikes the idea of being tied to another person.

---------- ivy

1. does your oc have any motifs?

oh absolutely. her motifs are bones (death), the trefoil symbol (dark magic/radiation), the color green (associated w/ dark magic in my setting, also nature since she becomes a ranger, too). also mourning doves (associated with resilience in grief. also bc her last name is macroura).

7. what is the thing your oc likes most about themselves?

she loves that she's basically born to use dark magic (elven ability to use it + human resistance that elves lack). most half-elves don't inherit both those traits at once, which makes her very unique.

it really amuses her when she thinks about it. it makes her feel like she's doing "what she was meant for" when she studies dark magic.

10. what kind of music do they enjoy?

again, going to go for a modern music since idk anything about music in my world (rip).. she would definitely listen to mitski and lord huron. yes i am projecting this on her. but it fits her

12. how well does your oc do in school?

very well! if you put her, adonis, lorne, and cordelia in a classroom together, ivy would come out on top (though cordelia would be close). she performs especially well in science and history classes.

24. how does your oc handle the death of someone they know?

depends on the circumstances. if someone was sick for a long time, ivy will be accepting of it when it happens. she'll try to help everyone else feel better.

but if the death is unexpected, violent, or she's right there (or all three), ivy will lose herself in anger. if someone murdered her father in front of her, for example, then she would immediately try to kill the murderer using any means possible (such as acts of dark magic that she would normally be horrified to even consider using. spell of hemorrhage your lungs, etc.)

30. does your oc wish to be married someday?

yeah! she wants to marry cordelia.
