history

the world you are born into is a not an easy one. but from your first memory, you are met with kindness. love. your parents, good people, raising you to be like them. raising you to do better, want more, be more.

you are smart, you learn quickly and readily, sketches drawn from a bar stool quickly becoming schematics, designs, an unrelenting stream of imagination. and as you draw, as you shape the world with hope in mind, there they are beside you. one at each shoulder, urging you onwards, upwards, to the future. and directly in front, behind the bar, a face as familiar as theirs - ryder.

when they are taken from you, you think you might be lost with them. you are so small, have seen so little, and yet grief is a ocean you are drowning in. your only lifeline is that face behind the bar and the work, the drawings, that connect you to them. you bury yourself in it, in both. he does not replace them, cannot do that - not when you both know how much you've lost. but you give each other what you need, hope. home.

you grow and change but retain that desperate hope. retain the willingness to believe the best, to give second chances, to look to the future. do better, want more, be more - for them. like a pledge, honouring their memory.

your passion and imagination is limitless and you turn to a place to channel it, somewhere that encourages you to explore the boundaries of possibility. the order of solanite. they welcome you with open arms, love your mind, love your ingenuity. you think perhaps you have found a place to grow. but there is darkness there too, experiments that push too far against what you believe. when one goes wrong, when you lose a friend, it shatters the illusion. the pursuit of knowledge is too reckless.

but you are smart, you are kind, you are softer than most. a chance encounter at the florist, a place you aught not to be, and an opportunity arises. you prove yourself. show your mind, your talent, to help make things last - a gift that they can use. you can get out.

solspire is what they say it is. but it is more than that too. when not reduced to us and them. you find yourself changing, blending, fitting in - still looked down on, now and then, but no longer just of one place, somewhere inbetween. and again, you have that hope...do better, want more, be more. for everyone.

#sol.intro #intro: ana #i feel like this is quite ? vague? but i wanted to give y'all something hahaha

[ may calamawy, cis woman, thirty eight, she/her ] — Keep your eye on [ FARAH MONSALVE ]. We’ve heard they live in [ SOLSPIRE ] working as a [ DOCTOR ], and that they’ve lived there for [ THIRTY YEARS ]. People say they’re [ EMPATHETIC ], but don’t let it fool you, I’ve heard they can be [ MEDDLING ] too, and they’ve always reminded us of [ A FLOWER BLOOMING THROUGH PAVEMENT CRACKS, A LULLABY THAT HUMS YOU INTO COMFORT, A RABBIT UNAFRAID OF THE FOX ]. Rumours say that they’re on [ NEITHER ] side, but maybe that’s driven by their [ DETERMINATION TO HELP WITHOUT NEED FOR A WAR ].

name: Farah Monsalve nickname/alias: n/a age: 38 occupation: Doctor gender & sexuality: Cis woman & pansexual face claim: May Calamawy

HISTORY

Farah was born in Lunemire, the only child of her parents. The family were poor, as most are in Lunemire, but her parents always did everything they could to ensure Farah was comfortable.

Always keen on learning more, Farah was very smart for her age. Far too smart for a child with no access to a proper education, a Solspire education.

When she was eight years old, her parents made the ultimate sacrifice. They gave up their child to a generous family in Solspire who had been unable to have their own children, to allow Farah the chance at a life far more illustrious than their own.

Fitting in hadn't been easy, though it was never Farah's priority. She knew where she came from and she had no desire to be like the children of Solspire, those who didn't seem to know what it truly felt like to struggle. She argued endlessly with them, refusing to accept that she was anything 'lesser' because of where she was born.

She grew up with an affinity for Lunemire, always wondering what had happened to her parents. Empathy and a desire to help were in her nature, which she attributed to her birth parents, and that ultimately led her to train as a doctor.

Now that the people are suffering in Lunemire more than ever before, Farah cannot sit back and idly watch. She offers her skills and expertise as a doctor to those that truly need it, no matter where they come from. This isn't viewed well by the Council, though, so her visits to Lunemire are usually kept very quiet.

HEADCANONS

Farah has been married to her husband - a council member - for around ten years. The pair clashed exponentially at the beginning, and sometimes their differences in upbringing and world views still cause rifts, but ultimately the pair love each other dearly. (open wc on the main!!!)

She does not believe in the superiority of Solspire, she just wants to help. She'll have friends in both cities alike, though she's always struggled to get on with the Solspire elitists.

She may well have provided your character medical assistance in one way or another! Either in Solspire (as part of her actual job) or in Lunemire when she sneaks over there. Of course going there doesn't involve sneaking, but acting as the streets' free health clinic definitely does.

She does not want a war. Her hopeful, naïve ass has always hoped that bridges could be built and both could thrive, and she's willing to put herself on the line to prove it can be done.

She may be sweet and my actual angel, but she will fight like hell for the things she believes in. She may be small but she is mighty!!!

TLDR;

sweet baby sunshine who will fight for u

[ gong yoo, cis man, forty five, he/him ] — Keep your eye on [ SEOJUN/ATLAS ]. We’ve heard they live in [ LUNEMIRE ] working as the [ LEADER OF THE MIRE RATS ], and that they’ve lived there for [ HIS ENTIRE LIFE ]. People say they’re [ AMBITIOUS ], but don’t let it fool you, I’ve heard they can be [ COLD-HEARTED ] too, and they’ve always reminded us of [ THE SMELL OF RAIN ON ASPHALT, A DEVIL ON EACH SHOULDER, SMILING AS YOU DRIVE THE KNIFE IN DEEPER ]. Rumours say that they’re on [ LUNEMIRE’S ] side, but maybe that’s driven by their [ DESIRE TO ACQUIRE INDEPENDENCE FROM SOLSPIRE & BECOME SOLE LEADER OF LUNEMIRE ].

name: Seojun nickname/alias: Atlas age: 45 occupation: Leader of the Mire Rats (cough RAT KING!!!) gender & sexuality: Cis man & homosexual face claim: Gong Yoo

HISTORY

Seojun was born five years after the war ended, in a time where peace seemed far less of a façade.

His father worked long hours in the factory and his mother stayed at home with the children (Seojun & his two sisters), so all of their money went on feeding and clothing the family with whatever they could get.

When he was five years old, his parents took him to Solspire's 10 year celebration of the end of the war. Seojun had never seen so much colour, so much life, so much... opulence. He was absolutely enthralled by the idea of Solspire, believing it to be the true great city that it marketed itself as. He wanted that life, those riches.

As he grew up he would sneak into the city often to marvel at it, but he did not receive the welcome that his family had on the day of the celebration. People would look down at him, mutter under their breath, turn their noses up. Judge him.

Seojun realised that their cities were so, so much different after all, in ways that went so much deeper than class and appearance. So he stopped idolising Solspire, and started taking from it instead.

He'd pickpocket and steal from wherever and whoever he could, turning them in to the fence at the pawn shop who started to take an interest in his slippery capabilities and started involving him in larger scale jobs that the gangs were undertaking.

His family didn't approve of where his money was coming from since they had always made an honest living, but Seojun decided that his true family were the ones that accepted him for what he was. He used the alias Atlas for his 'work', and it soon stuck.

Seojun became closely entangled with Ryder, at first as a businessman but then as something far more intimate than that.

The pair were together for years, but after Ryder decided to leave the Watchers behind him to try and live a quiet life, their relationship started to fall apart.

Seojun wanted more, he couldn't give up on Lunemire like Ryder had, and ultimately their differences were too great for the score between them to be settled.

After everything fell apart, Seojun followed his desires. He became Leader of the Mire Rats since he couldn't make his way up in the Watchers, his skills unquestionable and his leadership harsh but lucrative. He may or may not have gone a little off the rails but if you stay on his good side you'll be fine (probably).

Ultimately he wants Lunemire's independence, but it is for no altruistic reason. He wishes to gain control, to lead their city into the future.

HEADCANONS

He will only accept being referred to as Atlas nowadays, leaving 'Seojun' behind him since there was too much history with that name.

He has a loyal right hand person (his second in command), who has stuck by him for many years. Though he isn't the affectionate type, especially nowadays, he does hold them dear to him. (connection on the main — taken!)

Atlas is totally getting off on all of the drama between Solspire and Lunemire right now, and definitely wants to meddle in it more.

If he could have chosen, he would have been leader of the Watchers since that position seems to hold more power in Lunemire. So if that's your character, you better watch your head.

He is a charming man who knows how to manipulate to get what he wants, a true snake. Because of this he likely has many allies, but also those who don't like or trust him.

Inspired by Silco, if you've seen Arcane!

TLDR;

unhinged emo rat king with a flair for le dramatique
