Included the one and only charles_leclerc here because majority of the things I learned came from him. He's pretty nice except he was beyond nervous when I drove the car for the first time.

i was wondering if you could do an america's sweetheart victorias secret angel reader whos 19 x charles. in this universe victoria secret still has their show and it's like peak vs again. its very miss americana and the heartbreak prince. and there's some light cheating because shes still with her boyfriend Arber Xhekaj (if you don't know gf omg hes so fine and his fights are amazing) and she meets Charles at the after party of the show. and like erin heatherton fc plz from like the 2010s

Angel. (CL)

tbh, i love watching the old vs shows, ugh. i rly love this idea. erin heatherton is stunninggggg. i hope you enjoy!!

pairing: charles leclerc x vs model reader

fc: erin heatherton

warnings: light cheating, cussing, fans slut shame (for the plot, also don’t do this or i’ll throw chicken legs at you)

note: cheating is not slay, don’t do it. (i’ll only condone tho if you cheat to be with an f1 driver, jk jk) also, the first post is the night after the after party. but it twists so stick with me.

Gossip Column @gossipoftoday • 4hr

Big news for our Formula 1 watchers and Victoria Secret enjoyers! Y/N Y/L/N, 19, has been a model for Victoria’s Secret for two years, one of our favorite Angels. She has been dating Arber Xhekaj, Canadian Hockey Player, these past eight months.

The couple has been fairly public, but these past few weeks, we have noticed a decrease in posts by the couple. This might have something to do with last nights show.

Last night, Y/N opened for the show, looking absolutely stunning on the runway. The after party is what we want to discuss though…

Charles Leclerc was seen at the show and the after party. Heavy, and we mean heavy, dancing was shared between Charles and Y/N. Rumors have it, Arber might be interested in another girl, but the party hasn’t broke off their relationship. So imagine our shock when we find this out!

Now, Charles and Y/N would make a hot couple, but are we behind cheating? I’m not too sure about this.

↳ Bellaaa @charfanpage33 • 4hr

Y/N is actually stunning, but I hope her and Arber broke it off because cheating is not hot.

↳ Jacobs Cavern @formula1overu • 3hr

Y/N is definitely hot, but is she gonna cheat on Charles too?? Like, come on. Once a cheater, always a cheater

Thread on why I think Y/N Y/L/N and Arber Xhekaj have broken up:

↳ Jaime 💋 @y/nswifeasf • 3hr

Reason #1) Y/N and Arber haven’t posted each other in literally two months. Maybe they want privacy, sure. But I think we can all agree that that is not the reason.

↳ Jaime 💋 @y/nswifeasf • 3hr

Arber hasn’t been attending the Victoria’s Secret shows for the past month-ish. Same with Y/N not attending Arber’s hockey games/practices.

↳ Jaime 💋 @y/nswifeasf • 3hr

They have also both unfollowed each other on all social platforms: Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. Since then, Arber has followed Lana Condor, and Y/N has followed Charles Leclerc, along with many other Formula 1 drivers, all of them follow her back.

↳ Jaime 💋 @y/nswifeasf • 3hr

I want to end this thread with my personal thoughts on this couple. Personally, I love Y/N, and I don’t believe she would cheat. Arber, I’m not so sure either… I think we should all just wait till they release something about the matter.

I don’t have much to add to what Y/N posted earlier today. We did break up two months ago, she didn’t cheat. I did, though. Details are not needed, I prefer to keep it at that. She didn’t deserve it, and I regret it deeply. I will always love her as a friend, and it makes me happy that her and Charles are so happy. Please don’t let my drunken mistake alter your feelings on her. I’m so sorry.

GENDER SWAP RENLY AND STANNIS OUTFITS PLEASSSS. And maybe Robert too

SISTERLY DYSFUNCTION WE LOVEEEEE even tho the character of Robert is kinda tricky bc his character is rooted in his manhood but fuck it we ball maybe we can just make Westeros a matriarchy #Feminism

Fem Roberta (definitely named Roberta) (also the middle Katie McGrath pic is the fc) is the kinda the biggest lesbian bait ever. Non-dutiful eldest daughter set to inherit storms end but she does NAWT give a shit she wants to go play around in the Vale with fem Ned and drink and whore etc etc. Rides and fights like a man and even wears men’s armor but still dresses and (sometimes) acts like a noble lady when the situation calls for it. She’s not a tomboy who chafes at nobility she’s a rowdy noble girl who LOVES her status she loves excess. Charismatic girl who managed to get men to follow her into war to get back Fem Ned’s little brother even though she loves him like a prize. And she loves the idea of being connected to Ned more than that. But other than her homoerotic obsession with her best friend and she is totally and completely heterosexual 👍🏻

Fem Stannis (Stana? Castana?) is kinda so Eva Green do we see the vision people. She’s a flop daughter who dresses like a utilitarian, very little room in her looks for comfort. Internalized misogyny for days bc she thinks if she were a son she could be so much better than her sister is. She’s kinda like if Cersei slayed a little less. When Roberta dies she can’t garner any support bc even though they were both women, her elder sister was always more persuasive and well liked, which is half the reason she became queen. So now she’s behind her bastard nephew and nieces who aren’t even related to her in the line of succession (let’s pretend masc Cersei and fem Jamie swapped the kids or smthn idk 😭). And her new red witch is not doing favors for the people who think magic = dark and womanly and evil. She’s such a flop and gay for the older pirate lady who saved her life and she can never do anything right ily girl

And Fem Renly/Rena/Renia is kinda the baddest bitch in the seven kingdoms. She’s even prettier than Roberta was at her age, and just as charismatic, and far more agreeable, acting more like a “proper” lady. Though she rides as well as her eldest sister, and even took up the sword too, wanting to be a warrior queen when she was little. Her fits always go crazy, a fourth of the treasury at storms end is set aside for her favorite green enameling and gold accessories. She’s kinda the star of court and thinks Roberta has gotten lazy and Stana has too much of a stick up her ass to be a good queen. Ofc in true Baratheon fashion she has a gay who worships her like a god, her trusted lady-knight Lora Tyrell, who gives her the support of her house before she unfortunately gets merked. Rip queen I wish you could’ve been mean on the internet

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

(Arthreena Anon)

So since I gave you some info on Athreena I wanted to share some ideas for her Sons.

All Three

.

•They actually prefer Optimus over their old dad, their old pa just wanted to train them to be warriors and didn't skimp on the punishment if they failed training. Optimus actually let's them have free time and doesn't discipline them too much.

•All three are total sports nuts, each one loving both a cybertronian sports and an earth sports.

•While they are mama boys, but they will hide behind Optimus when they try their mama's patience(She doesn't hit them, just her glares can terrify Megatron)

• Each of them have a southern accent but it's different version, like Salvo has a Texan accent, Zaptrap has an Alabama accent, while Shothole has Louisiana accent.

Salvo:

•He's the oldest of the three brothers, hatching from his pod a whole fifteen minutes before his brothers hatched out. Tries to be a responsible older brother but often feels his circuits short-out.

•Salvo loves a good game of Cube and while on Earth he is a huge football fan, even managing to pull in Bulkhead for football, his favorite team is Future Detroits football team the CyberLions.

•His Insect mode is an Elephant beetle, his bot mode is the same size of Bulkhead but his torso is more oval shaped like a beetles torso, his legs are a bit shorter than Bulkheads, in robot mode both of the Insect legs combine to form his arms, his hands being like Beastwars Dinobots.

•His special power is the ability to create fireballs from his horn in Insect mode and hands in bot mode.

Zaptrap

•The second youngest and the one to start most of the sibling fights just for the heck of it.

•Loves the Lobbing game his granpah Scorponok used to play with him, but he loves Earths hokey with how violent it can get. His favorite team is Red Wings, he watches it with Sari in the base.

•His Insect form is a Golden Stag Beetle, in his bot mode he has a rounder body than Salvo, he has two sets of arms like his ma, and clawed legs.

•His special ability is that he can generate electricity, enough to power Detroit for a year, but his favorite way to do it is to make literal Thunder Punches.

Shothole

•The youngest of the brothers and one of the more impulsive of the siblings, always ready to prove himself. Which makes things worse when he's friends with Bumblebee.

•His favorite cybertronian sport is Mecha-Soccer, and he was beyond ecstatic that earth had something similar. He's a fan of Detroit City FC, he roped in Bumblebee and Prowl to be fans.

•His Insect mode is a Rhinoceros Katydid, while in his bot mode he's a lanky bot with long legs and a long torso and long arms. However unlike his brothers his wings are present in his bot mode and can actually fly.

•His special ability is that he can kick so hard that he creates air bullets at the Decepticons.

They start calling Optimus 'Ops pops', jokingly at first but then it just kinda sticks. Optimus doesn't object though he does thinks it's a tad embarrassing considering that they are all way bigger than him.

Optimus has no clue about how to be a dad so he looks up a bunch of tips online, including articles on the subject, while also asking professor Sumdac for advice (he's the only father he knows). The initial results are kinda... awkward.

Optimus: "So... sports, huh?"

Salvo: "Sorry, I wasn't listening, what were you saying?"

Optimus: *sweating, gesturing at the TV* "Uhhhhh, sports?"

Salvo: "Oh! Yeah, it's really intense right now! CyberLions vs BoltHounds! The CyberLions are currently losing but I believe they can still pull through, especially considering they are on their home turf. What do you think?"

Optimus: "Uh, lions are bigger and stronger than dogs, so... probably?"

Salvo: "They sure are, pops, they sure are."

Lots of hcs for HS fc au bc I’m bored :3

•Tyler eventually ends up spending most of his days at Jacks house. It’s less hectic, Jacks mom is like the mom he never had, he loves jack (dUH), and is allowed to act more like himself there. Tylers mom doesn’t care at all that much that Tyler is never home. Tyler never tells her where he goes/stays.

•Tyler was the one who got the most attached first. He follows him around everywhere and picks on him. It takes Jack a while to realize Tylers ‘picking’ is just him trying to play around with him and his way of initial way of interacting with him. As time goes by Tyler gets more kind & thoughtful (he will forever be a bit of a jerk tho)

•Jack is friends with Marla before Tyler. Marla and Jack are outcasts so they ended up hanging out together. Well more like Marla started talking to him because she noticed he’s always by himself too.. and she liked how weird he is like Tyler likes as well.

•Marla doesn’t trust Tyler at all at first because Tyler runs with the more popular crowd & he used to make Jack actually a little annoyed with the teasing so she’s confused why Tyler all the sudden is always joined at Jacks hip.

It’s only when Jack starts talking really fondly of Tyler or she can start seeing for herself he has no bad intentions, she will start to care less and less about Tyler being around.

I think Tyler would take a slight interest in her too since she’s probably the only goth person he’s met

(💀 honestly it’s just funny thinking about how Jack was like •_• and never bothered anyone but two people (Tyler & Marla) just randomly decided they wanted to be a part of this quiet guys life.)

•oh yeah, I feel like this should take place in a town that’s like.. u drive out and ur in the country but the schools more into the city. Marla is in the city near Jack while Tyler is in a trailer park. This AU would probably be late 90s early 00s too.

•Tyler abandons his friend group for Marla and Jack because he loves how those two aren’t suck ups like his old usual friends are & just finds himself having really interesting conversations with them both. He finds comfort in knowing those two think like him… well he still tries to push more of his opinions on life and whatnot onto them but they at least truly listen and Marla slightly argues back and points out the flaws in what he’s saying/argues back a bit. (She agrees with him on most things but yknow how Tyler can get a little too extreme lol)

•Tyler thought the two would leave him after his first real bad manic episode around them but they don’t. Marla might be kinda pissed if he did something dangerous or said something really rude and Jack might as well but they assure him it’s nothing. Jack & Marla are ‘messed up in the head’ as well so they can’t really say anything. They just empathize with him.

It scares him a bit that it doesn’t make them leave him bc that’s what he’s used to :,/ and he knows sometimes he really screws up so he doesn’t get why they won’t leave.. because he really cares about them.

•After Tyler just leaves all his old friends for Marla & Jack, Those three become that group in school. People probably have made up names for them all or a made up name for the group in general. But it never really gets back to them that often because people still hold respect for Tyler.. it’s just stupid dramatic teen crap.

•Tyler is really good at sports while Marla will just sit out no matter what Tyler says unless it’s something like super easy. Jack on the other hand joins in no matter what if Tyler tells him to. Tyler tells him he needs to get some muscle and stamina because he’s built like a stick.

Tyler won’t do certain things if he doesn’t feel like it though, he’ll just walk those mile long track things with Marla with Jack on his back because Jack is exhausted and not fit at all to walk or run for so long.

•Besides exercise and fighting Jack, Tyler also likes taking pictures and learning guitar around this time. He takes classes where he can do both. He’ll hunt down Marla & Jack during school so he can take pictures of them for the year book even though both will tell him they don’t want extra pictures in it :/ after enough complaining or pushing by Tyler they agree though.

Jack knows how to play the guitar some and they’ll teach each other things they learn :3

•Tyler and Marla are protective of Jack. Jack doesn’t really realize he’s being messed with unless it’s like very clearly obvious so they both have a eye out for him.

•At their final prom as their final F U to the school, Marla wears a tux while Jack wears a dress :D because there isn’t much point of anyone saying anything to them when everyone is going their separate ways soon and probably won’t see these three again. Tyler won’t shut up about how badass it is that they dressed up like that.

I'm biased so: 👁️💙☔📓 for Tritchet pleaaasse but also: 🧠❗🧶📓 for Wyn :D

OH, ALWAYS FOR YOU!!! >:)

Tritchet

👁️ - How do other people perceive this oc? How close do their first assumptions come to the truth?

People's first impression of Tritchet is....mostly right. Yes, she is high energy and charming and good with people and really, genuinely eager to help. All very true! But she's also a remarkably private person for all of that. She has a really insatiable appetite for experiencing things, and it makes her a pretty substantial jack of all trades when it comes to culture. She likes history (ESPECIALLY dragon history) and for all that she's not a scholar, she's actually pretty good at retaining information. She just prefers to hear it told to her, or to live it, than to experience it through a book.

So, yes. She's the big, goofy jock little sister of the Warrior of Light. She's the traveler and the do-gooder and the energetic idiot with the big pointy stick.

No one would expect anything else.

Tritchet's bedroom in her mother's house was a wreck. Absolute bomb-went-off whirlwind of clothes and half-finished projects that she never got excited about. I think part of it was in rebellion of a life that absolutely did not suit her, so I feel like it's not an accurate depiction of the place she tends to keep.

Tritchet's bedroom in the FC house is...largely untouched. She just doesn't spend a lot of time there! She's usually out gallivanting around the world, and spends more time in inn rooms with her life packed into a travel bag. She's got a few mementos stuffed into the corners and a rug and a bed and a table, but otherwise? It's...it's pretty bare.

The room that Vrtra put her up in in Radz-at-Han might be the only proper reflection of Tritchet's usual bedroom setup. And it's relatively tidy! She tends to leave clothes...kind of everywhere, but otherwise she keeps things relatively neat. Her goldsmithing projects are relegated to a desk that gets cleaned with relative frequency, her armor and weapons have a chest and a locker respectively; she keeps little specks of herself scattered around, but tends to avoid wall hangings and big fixtures for being both too large to lug around and also just kind of...empty, when she's got the memory of her travels to keep her company. So for a blessing, things stay relatively neat.

Except for laundry. She's...she's SO bad at laundry, guys. She loves clothes and fashion so, so much, but they're such a paiiiin.

☔ - How does this oc feel about rain?

Mostly positive, but highly dependent on her clothing. She deals with being wet the same way that she deals with being cold - as just another hazard of her lifestyle, and she LOVES her lifestyle. But she also likes nice things, so if she put on a fancy outfit and it gets wet, she can get grumpy.

If she's inside, though? Loves the rain. Best weather, without question. It's an excuse to nap, an excuse to keep the windows open and an excuse to get hot coffee and soup all rolled into one.

📓 - Do you associate any quotes or lyrics with this oc?

I have a few songs that I feel are INHERENTLY very Tritchet (Around and Around by The Happy Fits comes to mind) but as for poignant lyrics or quotes? It's always gonna be this one.

Many, MANY of Tritchet's problems arise from the fact that, despite being very personable and charming and utterly at ease in casual situations, she has a hard time actually...talking about things? Especially if they involve people she cares about. She never told Wickit about how she struggled with being relegated to her shadow until things blew up between them; she never let herself even BEGIN to consider talking to Estinien about her feelings until the world started to end. So this quote always reminds me of her little mini arc. (And is, incidentally, sort of where she gets her Dark Knight arc from too. :) )

Wyn

🧠 - What is their stress response: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn?

Freeze or flight, depends on the kind of stressor. She tends towards freeze because it gives her an extra second to evaluate whatever is happening, which is what her parents always drilled into her and her brother. They were more forgiving of a late response than an incorrect one, and Wyn has carried that tendency into her adulthood.

That said, when she was staring down the barrel of a loaded gibbering mouther, she definitely DID run first.

❗- What are the highest priorities to this oc (at a point in their life of your choosing)?

OOF, what a question in this very moment of her campaign. Wyn is, uh...she's having a rough go of it, folks! The revelation that she and her party are expected to try to break the curse on Barovia is so horrifically laughable that she has stepped past all of the other stages of grief and right into acceptance. She's preparing herself to die in Barovia, because like. what the fuck, man. They're all just a bunch of chucklefucks who stumbled into the Mists, there is NO WAY -

That said, she isn't preparing to roll over and give up. She'll go as far as she can; she just won't be surprised when she falls. So for now, her priority has moved from, "get out" to the much more immediate, "take the vulnerable NPC that Wyn definitely doesn't have a bit of a fancy for to the safe place they've been told about and...figure it all out from there."

Hopefully the big, scary black carriage we're walking up to this next session doesn't ruin that! :)

🧶 - Do they do any arts, crafts, or creative hobbies?

Wyn paints! She likes painting scenery more than people, and she actively cannot begin to wrap her head around animals, but she'll try anything a couple of times. She has started a little portrait of our wizard, because our NPC friend pointed out that he wasn't like the wizards in her books since he is woefully bereft of any facial hair, and suggested that maybe he would get a beard when he was a powerful wizard one day. Naturally, Wyn thought this was hilarious and is not-so-secretly painting him into their ranks.

I've got it in my head that, if he manages to pull of something really impressive in the next few sessions, Wyn might scrap it and paint him doing cool Wizard Shit instead because I think she begrudgingly likes him, but. that's gonna be up to him. :>

📓 - Do you associate any quotes or lyrics with this oc?

This one fucks me up because Wyn's guilt wrt her brother is infinite and this feels like it encapsulates it.

She associates a LOT of her grief with her childhood home, so you'll find a lot of quotes about houses in her tag. She's my spooky girl, she needs a dubious relationship with a haunted house. :D

Also, this lyric from I Knew a Woman by molly ofgeography, which is on her playlist almost solely for this bridge.

BIOGRAPHY

tw: parental control, loss of autonomy, bullying

Formerly known as Minerva Davenport, Minnie was the youngest child to her parents by quite a margin—her two older brothers being over a decade her senior. Out of the three, she was the only girl as well as the only Synth.

The Davenports came from old money, and managed to stay rich by investing their significant generational wealth into a handful of companies, all of which became some of the biggest subsidiaries under OmniCorp Holdings.

Her parents were very strict, very controlling, and obsessed with raising the perfect children. Her brothers were both fine, but eventually fell short of their parents' exacting standards; and Minnie was no different, but the big difference between her and them was that she could easily be altered to their liking.

For years, her parents made repeated changes to her mind every time she stepped out of line or did something that they disapproved of. It never seemed to stick, and they were quick to place the blame on the people in her life that they disliked. By far their biggest problem was with her best friend, Mick Dantes, and they were especially unhappy with how close she was to his family.

When Minnie was 14 years old, her parents sent her to boarding school in an effort to get her away from what they deemed to be "harmful" influences. She hated it there, not least because she was relentlessly bullied by other students.

It took her two years to formulate and execute an escape plan with the help of one of the few friends that she had made there. After arriving at Mick's family home, she enrolled in a public school and began the long process of fighting to be emancipated from her parents. What followed was a year of the Davenports refusing to let the Dantes take official custody until they suddenly relented.

Minnie was relieved to finally be free, but also immediately suspicious of their sudden agreement. It took six years for her to discover that the reason they had let her go was because they had recently taken in her niece Julie in her place.

She has spent the last decade building a life away from her biological parents, and the last five years working to free her niece from their clutches. It is a battle that is still technically ongoing, but at least they have managed to get Julie out of the Davenport house and into a position of relative independence.

As for Minnie, she is content with her life as a bartender and musician. She has her parents, her siblings, her band, and her friends, and her only real gripe is that she's extremely unlucky in love. Just truly the worst kind of Disaster Lesbian.

MISC

She is the drummer in a punk band called Elegant Egotist. She met her fellow band members, Avi Horowitz and Remington Cerulli, while in public school.

She flips back and forth between having blonde hair and brown hair. She tried red once, but claims that as a redhead she was simply too fiery to function.

i want a hear abt the new aib oc! pretty please with sugar packets on top

introducing … her〜

did i just use this fc? yea and i’ll do it again.

her name is kikuri aguni (粟国 菊里). she’s aguni’s sister and younger than him by 7 years, making her 26 in the live action and 19 in the manga oof. their father was an abusive alcoholic and their mother abandoned them when aguni was 10 and kiku was 3. 2 years later, aguni took kiku and ran away after an incident with their father. they spent 3 nights living on the streets until aguni could track down their maternal aunt.

their aunt didn’t really want them around, but let them stay and left aguni to be kikuri’s ‘parent’ for the most part. she didn’t have the easiest school life because of aguni’s (and danma/hatter’s) reputation as delinquent thugs after they beat up a street gang by themselves at 16. her classmates were too scared of aguni to be actively mean to her, and it resulted in them all just kind of avoiding her completely instead. so she didn’t really have any friends and it made her pretty clingy with aguni. she also grew up with danma, but they’re not close - they have a bit of a rivalry because they don’t like sharing aguni.

as an adult, kikuri has a job as a bookshop clerk. the bookshop is one she spent a lot of time at when she was younger and they hired her when she was 17, shortly before aguni joined the sdf. she has a rare day off that she’s spending with aguni and danma when the meteor hits.

her fic mostly centres around the founding and development of the beach, mixing canons from the live action and the manga, but there’s also a romance element there between kikuri and both niragi and chishiya. with niragi, it’s more genuine, developing over the course of their time at the beach; with chishiya, it’s complicated since he initially approaches her with self-serving intentions (plotting to steal the cards) but his feelings eventually start to change, especially during s2.

general notes!!

aguni’s first name, 'morizono' uses the kanji '杜' and '園' meaning ‘forest garden’. similarly, kikuri’s name kanji, '菊' and '里', mean ‘chrysanthemum village’. their surname, 'aguni/粟国', means ‘grain country’.

aguni taught her self-defence and other fighting tactics starting in her mid-teens. he insists on her keeping up with training so she doesn’t get lazy. she’s not a fan of guns (and aguni doesn’t want her having one anyway), but uses various knives over the course of her time in the borderland.

she takes up a job as the beach’s notekeeper, taking down lists of members’ names and eventually making the teams, collecting and counting the cards at the end of games, marking down game arena locations on maps, and various other things.

she’s accidentally the cause for the beach’s ‘death to all traitors’ rule after she tells hatter about some missing cards.

she’s commented on as being the ‘most approachable’ of the beach’s executives, but it’s mainly just because she’s the only one willing to deal with the problems people tell her about. she mostly sticks to herself otherwise, typically in her hotel room, her office, or a secluded couch on the second floor of the main annex.

spades and clubs tend to be her best games. she’s very detail-oriented, but doesn’t have a lot of tact for diamond or heart games.

she has mild astigmatism requiring glasses, but loses her glasses during a game.

she’s acrophobic (fear of heights) and has to face this fear during multiple games.

her favourite alcohol is umeshu (japanese plum wine). though she rarely drinks due to her father’s alcholism, on rougher nights at the beach, she can be found drinking choya.

she has a lot of botanical knowledge from books she’d read at work. not enough to keep plants or a garden alive, but enough to be able to name specific species and list various facts.

she’s more on the tomboyish side and it comes out especially through her fashion. she wears a lot of baggy clothes and the most ‘typically feminine’ she gets is crop tops and painting her nails. a lot of the jewellery she wears is silver.

while not one-to-one, she and aguni are noted to have similarities, specifically in their eyes and ever-serious expressions. aguni claims kikuri looks like their mother, but she isn’t sure since she doesn’t remember her or have any pictures.

kiku is mildly inspired by raven from the original teen t.itans cartoon; mainly in terms of her way of speaking, and being more on the distant and quiet side, personality-wise.

Hope this doesn't come across as unsolicited. aside from the Grindstone there are a number of fight club/sparring events on Crystal that seem like more Jak's vibe. Even if she doesn't fight some smaller venues would probably give you room to use her other hooks to start conversations

The only time I'll consider anything unsolicited in the rude way is if it IS rude (or creepy) - so no worries there!! <3 Besides, I've been quietly lamenting my own oc's stubbornness in my notes, so I'm open to ideas.

And not to seem like I'm brushing suggestions aside - but funnily enough, fight clubs are up there for Jak as one of those things she considers a waste of time. Pointless fighting gains you nothing, in her mind - she's spent years training hard not so she can be a tough punch-girl... but because she was small and afraid, once. And people showing off that they can fight well in the controlled space of a spar kind of just bores her/puts her off - anyone can do that. Any simple beast of the land can rut and fight... so what? (But that's part of why I made A'vaanoh! I wanted an oc that was more willing to go to different places - less paranoid, less stuck in weird beliefs and expectations. Though I love Jak best, and she's just a pain in the ass to get out to places.)

With my FC shuttered/no longer running events to bring people to the jazz club/bar/restaurant that her Yakuza gang runs... its gotten harder to meet people. I mean, the fc house is still there, and makes a good backdrop for RP. But it's just me these days, so it's hard to aspire to host any kind of true event anymore. Jak is just so anti-social that it's hard to get the ball rolling - but she's never going to work on that if I can't finagle her into situations where she has to work on it, lol.

That said, I've been trying to brainstorm a way that isn't 'people just have to come to her', since that feels unfair? I'm keen on having her stir up trouble in Ul'dah, and making that a plot to bring others into... but I have no idea what to do, ha! I've had this formless idea for a long time of 'Jak wants to stick it to the wealthy elite in Ul'dah for how they treated her/other refugees', but I feel like I'd have to cook up a whole lot. A villain or two or three, schemes, NPCs... and I'm usually the one who builds on the bones of a plot, so I'm having a hard time with the formless inspirational building blocks of that idea.

I have, for well over a year now, actually had it listed in my RP hooks on my carrd that she's seeking someone who can ICly either teach her more about magic (she can't use it, and the aetherologist she was seeing ghosted, though she'd maybe see another), or who can/will make/provide for her something she can use to...as she would say, "bypass magical locks". She's aiming for high end cat burglary, after all, and figures Ul'dah's richest won't merely rely on mundane protection for their prized collections. She wants to know how to disable wards/runes, what to look out for, etc. Thieving from Magic Practitioners, it's a high level course no one seems to teach... (this feeds directly into her desire to do more fuckery around Ul'dah - and it would make her have to get to know someone, and it's no fun to just snap your fingers and know how to do a thing...I thought it would be fun if she learned a skill from another ne'er do well of some kind! That's the good shit!)

All that said...I appreciate the input! Now if I can figure something out to drag a paranoid, mistrustful little woman out of her safe zone(s)...lmao

CHARACTER INFORMATION:

Character Name: Matty Foster.

Type of Connection: Ex-Girlfriend (wife?) from Philly.

Connection Name: UTP.

Connection Age: 30-35.

Suggested FCs: UTP! If you need suggestions, maybe: Adria Arjona, Emma Watson, Diane Guerrero, Teyonah Parris, Pallavi Sharda.

CONNECTION DESCRIPTION:

Foster ended up in Philadelphia around the time he was 18 after hitching a ride across the country with a band. Shortly after arriving in the city, he met WC — and she convinced him to stick around for a few years. They were a total roller-coaster — very up and down, in no small part because Foster was incredibly passionate, but also definitely had a lot of trauma he didn't want to deal with... He never said 'I love you,' even though he obviously did, and they were both probably quick with an 'I hate you' whenever there was a fight. I also really love the idea that they got married on a drunken whim, and have never dealt with it since. Very much just totally young and chaotic; she was his first — and last — attempt at a 'serious,' 'adult' relationship. The reason why they eventually broke up for good is up for plotting, but Foster left the city immediately afterwards and has been pretty nomadic ever since. This connection can range anywhere from moderately humorous to soul-destroyingly angsty. Hit me with any ideas you've got! Some dumb lil vibes: x x x x

SIGYN. lawful neutral.

norse myth, truth & other lies book series fc: charlize theron

dossier:                      

sigyn had always stuck out, even amongst the gods. she is not violent, she is not vengeful, and her life goal is not to die in ragnarok once it comes. her only idea and her single driving thought is the wellbeing of her family. in all her verses, she was a mortal first and because of this loyalty, she is granted immortality through divine blessing.        

in mythology, loki kills baldr by rigging a game. the gods could not let this pass since baldr was extremely beloved among them. everyone who was part of this and connected to Loki in any way was punished. after killing lokis sons, loki was taken in a cave deep under the earth and chain using his own sons entrails. they put snake over his head so the snake could drip venom on his forehead and cause him immeasurable pain. ever faithful, sigyn remained at his side using a bowl to collect the venom that was dripping from the snake’s teeth.

From time to time, she had to leave his place to pour the content of the bowl. During that time, the venom would drip on Loki’s head. The poison was very powerful, and it made him tremble and scream in agony. Loki’s screaming and trembling are said to be the origin of earthquakes in the human world.

mythos canon does not have to apply to other muses unless desired          

because of her sacrifices ( mythology and headcanons ), she became the goddess of fidelity, nurturing, and grieving. primarily, she was honored by women. if someone was praying to sigyn, they were usually in deep sadness or was heartbroken. also, people who lost their children paid respects to sigyn to keep them safe in the afterworld.

She would not be a God that you would pray for seeking justice but the god to whom you would pray to achieve inner peace. she was usually represented as either a young, innocent bride, a grieving mother, or a nurturing mother, and that were three main aspects regarding Sigyn’s personality. It depends on which Sigyn’s personality you pray to. If it is to the bride, the offering should be cake or some other sweet which should be made by the one making the offering. To the nurturing or grieving mother, one should offer fresh milk and bread.        

personality:   

she is stubborn and willful. she seeks law and order, follows rules and expects others to do the same. this can come off as naive and self righteous at times, putting expectations on others and being disappointed or sad when its not met. her ability to keep giving second chances is taxing and quixotic. as her name sake, she is a fighter and will stick up for herself and others—especially those she loves. she will fight tooth and nail even at a disadvantage. she is loyal to a fault, always wanting to make sure the people closest to her are taken care of even when they break her heart over and over.     

she is hard working, intelligent and focused, tends to be more introverted. she dislikes cheats, liars and bullies and will tell people when she disapproves of their behavior. sadness comes easier to her than anger though she will refuse to cry in front of others if she can help it. when shes comfortable, she can be playful and sweet, letting her guard down enough to let herself breath outside her responsibilities.    

verses:                                  

main ::  lightly based off the novel ‘truth & other lies’ series, sigyn was born to a mortal family on midguard. her mother died when she was young and her brother is a con man so she took over her fathers business at a local book shop and printing press. her father was diagnosed with brain cancer which leaves him bed ridden and hallucinating. she does her best to care for him when shes not working in the shop, fixing the machines and making sure projects are completed on time. her brother is known in bad circles for conning people out of money so she keeps bookies and loan sharks at bay as best she can. she is stubbornly unwilling to give up on her family no matter the strife

             her undying and unyielding loyalty, even at the expense of her wellbeing, sparks a divine energy inside her. while it is acknowledged by odin and freya, they never approached the woman because she is mortal and could not live in asgard. without being introduced, her magical abilities are only brought out when in danger or high emotions, uncontrollable and unknowing to her.             

main verse can be a period piece (1700-1800s) or modern                   

mythological & marvel ::  when odin was gathering his allies, creating the pantheon, he found a one mortal who stood out among the many. despite her families struggle, the betrayal of those closest to her, she remained loyal to her blood and kept her promises even when she was heart broken and exhausted. through her untimely death, odin brought her amongst the Aesir gods as the goddess of fidelity, unable to let that light inside her die. optional to include marriage to loki and her sons.

Significant Background Events

PRE-2013:

Only aged 16 at the time of the outbreak, Tara grew up in an average middle-class immigrant household in the Gage Park neighborhood of Chicago. Tara was the third of five children, and was raised in a multi-generational home that included grandparents, aunts and uncles, and several cousins. Her early life was by all accounts pleasant. She enjoyed reading and writing, was an athlete of above-average talent on her high school’s track team, and had a close-knit group of friends. 

THE CHICAGO QZ 2014-2020:

As a resident in a large city, the events following the outbreak and leading to the establishment of the Chicago QZ were notably horrific. Several members of Tara’s family became infected, and others were lost in the subsequent bombings and chaos. When the walls of the QZ were at last erected, Tara’s large family had been condensed significantly to include her, three of her four siblings, her mother, and two uncles. 

Life under FEDRA proved difficult, and the Khalil family were subjected alongside many other civilians to long working days, limited rations, and cruel overseers. Tara’s younger siblings were enrolled in FEDRA’s schooling with the hopes of one day becoming soldiers, while Tara and her other family members toiled in more labor-intensive roles. Resentment and hunger became constant companions during these days, and anger slowly simmered throughout the city as whispers of a better life began to grow. 

UPRISING 2020-2022:

The Fireflies, undoubtedly seeing an opportunity to gain a foothold in a major city and unseat FEDRA, began to sow the seeds of unrest. A civilian uprising alongside Firefly members broke out, and war raged for the better part of two years as control for Chicago was wrestled over. Tara, who was in her early twenties at the time, was protected by her elder relatives as best they could, though she could not be shielded from the realities of war. It was during this time, with no other option available to her, that Tara learned to fear strangers and defend herself at all costs. 

Her younger siblings, who were essentially property of FEDRA, disappeared during this time period. Their whereabouts remain unknown to this day, though Tara has long-since presumed they died during the uprising. This was a time of excessive violence and fear, and additionally claimed the lives of one of Tara’s uncles and her mother. 

FIREFLY-LED CHICAGO 2022-2023:

After FEDRA was at last ousted from Chicago, the Fireflies took control of the QZ. A tentative peace reigned for a short period of time before those who’d participated in the uprising began to voice their desire to be controlled by no one – FEDRA or Firefly. Tara’s remaining uncle became a prominent voice amongst those who claimed that it was possible for the people of Chicago to govern themselves, and he assisted in instigating attacks on Fireflies. This eventually led the organization to pull out of Chicago. 

HUNTER-CONTROLLED CHICAGO 2023-2026:

Best-laid plans swiftly went awry, and it was not long before Tara’s uncle – alongside others who’d vied for power for the people – were killed. This brutal killing left Tara and her elder brother Omar as the only members of the once-large Khalil family left standing. Both siblings were forced to adapt to the chaos of what Chicago had become: they scavenged and stole, and killed before asking questions. They became versions of themselves they did not know they were possible of becoming, and convinced one another that they had no choice – that the only human parts of them left would be for each other. 

Eventually, Omar spoke of leaving Chicago in favor of finding a new place to call home – the city was low on supplies and increasingly at risk of attack by the infected – and Tara agreed. 

ON THE ROAD 2026-2033:

Tara and Omar encountered more of what they’d seen inside Chicago as they traversed the remnants of America: survivors who were willing to kill to live another day, and infected who only became increasingly monstrous as the virus raged through their decrepit bodies. They continued to act much as they had in Chicago: they took what they needed and did not ask questions. When the two bunked down for the evenings, Omar would often speak of his hopes for a better world – one almost like the one they’d known in their youth. Tara, disillusioned by all she’d experienced, was reluctant to believe that such a thing might be possible. 

Rumors of Jackson eventually caught the ears of the wanderers, and Omar insisted they travel West in search of the settlement. Tara believed it to be no more than a myth, but agreed nonetheless to go on the fruitless venture – believing if nothing else they might find a temporary home along the way. 

While en route to Jackson, Tara and Omar came upon a group of clickers while scavenging an old supermarket. In an effort to save Tara, Omar offered himself as a distraction, and was subsequently bitten. At his urging, Tara was forced to end his life. He made her promise to continue in search of Jackson before his death.

LIFE IN JACKSON 2033-PRESENT: Tara eventually found her way to Jackson. That the settlement was not only real but a veritable Eden seemed like a cruel joke to the woman who’d lost the one person she’d had left, who’d wanted nothing more than to find a little slice of the world before. Tara opted to stay in Jackson to fulfill Omar’s wishes, yet feels as though she does not fit in – she has seen too much and done too much, and cannot relate to those happy citizens who’ve found peace in the new world.

Tara has resided in Jackson for approximately 8 months.

Wanted Connections

GENERAL DYNAMICS: Open to all, multiple characters can occupy the same dynamic, etc.

Friends: Tara struggles to trust others, and can have a cold exterior. I would love to explore individuals who may come from similarly troubled pasts whom she can relate to, or individuals who are otherwise able to break through her shell and access the woman underneath it. 

Enemies: Old enemies and new enemies! Tara’s past as a hunter means that she’s hurt people and taken lives. There may be some who are naturally wary of her based on who she is and what they believe she’s done – whether or not it's entirely true – and perhaps there are even some residents whom she once knew or knew in passing in her life before (see more in “old faces”). She can be an intense person with an angry streak, so it will likely be easier for her to make enemies than friends. 

Old Faces: I would love to explore individuals who may have known Tara or have run into her over the years. Individuals who have been in the Chicago QZ (during any of its iterations as a FEDRA QZ, Firefly base, or hunter hub) or those wanderers whom she may have met out on the road. Tara may have at one point stolen from your character and held them at gunpoint, harmed someone your character loved…or maybe they caught her and her brother in a rare moment of peace, and they shared a meal around a fire before parting ways. I’m open to almost anything, hit me up with your ideas!

SPECIFIC DYNAMICS: See below.  Oh you’re the one TARA KHALIL has been looking for? Their LOVER has been long gone, but you might recognize them as FC UTP, rumored to be 30+ years old. If you stumble upon them, please leave a message for @BEYONDPAROXYSM. Please review Tara’s character bio! This resident of Jackson and Tara have come together based predominantly off of physical attraction. Tara considers Y/M to be a warm body – she enjoys the pleasure they get from one another, but displays little interest in making a true emotional connection. I’m open to plotting this dynamic in any number of directions – they can become friends, enemies, forge an emotional bond and become a true pairing, etc! All ideas welcome.
