Describe 5 unusual characteristics your muse has.

@thundergodreborn asked this one too, so here you go!

——

1. Ilyssae’s metabolism seems to be directly affected by her spell casting. She’s never found any good research addressing how or why this is the case for her, but she’s always hungry after a working, and bigger battles that see her burning through lots of magic in a short period of time often require a day or two of rest and near-constant food before she starts to feel like a person again.

2. When she laughs, it’s either a reserved dry snort, or a full-throated cackle that swiftly ascends into a breathless, crying sea lion impression. There is no in between.

3. She chews on the inside of her cheek when she’s deep in thought.

4. She’ll hit you if you try to steal food off her plate, but will herself steal bits of food from close friends even if she has her own.

5. She still harbors a deep mistrust of older kaldorei and Highborne. Especially the charming ones, or the ones that seem like they could easily outsmart or overpower her again.

How sensitive are they to their own flaws? (For any muse)

I've done one with a short story for Iseri! That's why it took me such a long time to answer~

She tends to be one who seeks perfection in herself. Because of this she has a struggle with succeeding on things when they pose a challenge. She is also stubborn as hell, and unwilling to give up when she really, probably should. A little pig-headed in her approach there's a reason she has such a great job with being what I've deemed a "Harrier", like a terrier dog but one that persists in the sky. Disrupting enemies both in aerial as well as landbound. These can be strengths, but the level of perfection she holds herself to is where they become flaws that she hasn't been able to reconcile with herself.

I haven't done any story aside from the one for Charlotte in ages, so appreciate the prompt for it! Thank you a ton @thundergodreborn for the ask! Read under the cut about Iseri's sensitivity to her flaws.

Iseri’s brow furrowed, the tips of her claws twitched, and Peri had to suppress a laugh. Her striped clutch-sister was trying, desperately, to focus on the handful of seeds in her palms. To get them to grow… To get them to bloom… To… Anything! Peri made the daring choice and broke her sister's “concentration”.

“You know, the spells don’t work better the more you frown at them, Iseri.” the green dracthyr explained, gently with the frustrated Harrier. “They work better when you remain calm and collected.” 

“I am calm!” Iseri snapped back, attention breaking and hands curling around the delicate seeds to cradle them more protectively. “And I am not frowning! You’re frowning!” 

The attitude from her sister didn’t surprise Peri, Iseri always was sensitive when she couldn’t get her magic right. For all she could tackle the fire and frost of the Red, Black and Blue Flights, the concept of healing through the Green or Bronze just didn’t click with her. Peri sighed, dramatically. “I only frown for fear that you might scare the seeds out of blooming at all with your scowl.” 

“It wouldn’t be the first time she scared something with her scowl.” drawled another familiar voice from behind the pair. The black dracthyr didn’t quite sneer down at his clutchmates, but there was a tone of superiority towards them both. “Your stubbornness is showing through again, Iseri. You must get a handle on that or you will end up either hurting yourself or someone else.”

“I am not being stubborn Volaan, you’re stubborn.” Iseri turned to face her “older” brother, wrinkling her snout up at him in the process. “I’d like to see you do better!”

Chuckling, Volaan shook his head, the chains on his horns making sweet sounds at the motions. “You know you’re still much better than I am when it comes to spellcraft. Both of you are. Don’t be so drake headed, you’ll be able to learn more when you aren’t.” 

“I am not being drake headed Volaan!” Iseri proclaimed, much to the amusement of her siblings. 

“You weren’t even trying Isi.” Peri told her, shaking her head. “Your horns didn’t even sparkle with your magic like they normally do.” 

The red and black dracthyr would stick her tongue out at her clutch-sister, wrinkling her snout at her and snorting. “It’s harder than it looks, alright? I was trying. The magic just… Wouldn’t come to me.”

Volaan would kneel next to the two, and offer to help with the casting, “We can work on it together, if you’re willing to listen to both of us, Isi?”

Snorting again, the smaller of the three nodded her head, ears flat against her skull in her own irritation at not being able to get the magic to work first try. The trio would spend some time working together to help Iseri learn how to work the Green Flight’s magic, but to the young Harrier’s dismay, they would all prove to be made with fruitless effort.

What Does Your Heart Look Like

Molten Lava and Charred Flesh

Your heart burned so fiercely that it burnt itself out, leaving horrible scars in its wake; scars inside your chest and on the hands of those who touched you, the hearts of anyone who got close enough to connect to yours. The person you are now is no longer recognizable, burnt up by your own anger and passion and love. The injuries can never be fully erased, but they can be soothed with time and trust and forgiveness.

Shapes of the heart

Kirollis’ results (And pretty accurate too)

broken, missing pieces that once were there

Your heart has been torn before, chipped and maybe even shattered. Some pieces will never be recovered, and you are shaped by the loss. But it can still be shaped into something tangible, something good, even with its flaws and imperfections. You don’t have to do all the work of rebuilding by yourself. Allow other hands to leave their fingerprints on the new heart you create from the remnants.

Shape of the Heart

What does your heart look like? -> [Quiz]

A Tangle Ball of Red Strings

Who are you without the company of others? You aren’t sure, but you know that you aren’t fond of whoever it is. You are an actor, a pretty face and a pleasant song. Many idolize you, or love you, but you can never be sure of how sincere it is. Your heart is buried under the letters they leave you, sealed with a kiss. It can’t be untangled from the red strings they’ve attached to you. You deserve to find something, someone, true and faithful to hold your heart in place. You don’t have to be everything to everyone.

🎧 A song used for writing my muse

✧✦⭒ SONG ASSOCIATIONS —

Liquid Diamonds - Tori Amos

I prefer mostly lyric-less music when Im actually writing, but I don't mind this song for some reason, it falls nicely into the background of my mind. It also has a sort of relaxed lounge music vibe that I attach Safrona to.

Thank you, @thundergodreborn.

[fio-renze]

What makes their stomach turn?

Fiorenze is not a particularly squeamish person, but anxiety actively makes her extremely sick to her stomach. Anytime there's something she's on edge about, there's always an undercurrent of nausea there.

Also, typically, extreme pain. She doesn't handle it well and will throw up. It's a very common issue when she's having one of her migraines.

Thanks @thundergodreborn!

[pyraelia]

Do they usually live up to their own ideals?

Yes, usually. Her ideals aren't usually overly complicated -- be kind, do unto others, that whole bit.

The only time she's fallen away from them is in regards to her sister at times, because she does hold Fiorenze to a higher standard, and also when Xylaes is around because she does not like him terribly much and feels like Fiorenze could probably do better -- but Fiorenze loves him for whatever reason, so she's tried to be nicer, even if he makes that very difficult.

Thanks @thundergodreborn! @xylaes mentioned.

[gloamingdawn]

What triggers nostalgia for them, most often?

Baking! Bread, specifically.

When she was violently orphaned many, many centuries ago, the first thing the matron of the orphanage did was get her involved in the kitchen.

It quickly became a solace and outlet, and she's kept the original recipe cards for the bread the matron gifted to her safe for a very long time.

She bakes with her son, now. Sometimes he comes up with crazy additions and she rolls with them -- good or bad. It's a great way to encourage his curiosity and keep his interest in the skill.

Thanks @thundergodreborn!

[heartpiercer]

What’s a hobby they used to have that they miss?

Calloused, work-worn fingers brushed wistfully over a collection of scrolls stowed away on a shelf - maps, at a glance. "Cartography. Map-making. Going out into the world for no other purpose than simply exploring it and basking in its splendor," murmured Marsira, her lips parting to loose a sigh.

"Life was much simpler back then. Not constantly filled with conflict and fighting. It's a bit hard to drink in the world to that extent from dragonback these days.."

⇴ @nixalegos, @thundergodreborn, @kavtari

[simplysoriya]

What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?

Uncommon OC questions

“I’m good!” -Soriya, anytime she is clearly injured trying to prioritize others healing.

She doesn’t typically feel guilt over that, but to be fair I don’t think she would be prone to tell a lie she would feel guilty over. More like white lies to avoid accountability or a discussion about it 😅

Thanks @thundergodreborn !

[vanddoria]

15. What is your muse’s primary love language?  ( words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, or physical touch ) 

"Goodness me, you all are really curious about this love thing, hmm?" Vanddoria let out a slow sigh as she leaned back, relaxing and thinking to herself.

"I do like gifts.. especially expensive ones.. So, yes. Receiving gifts with a touch of acts of service perhaps? I don't like those that are overbearing nor do I like being touched often. Now, I do expect at least one gift in return for me answering this." The Sin'dorei smiled widely as she flipped her red hair over her shoulder dramatically.

Thank you @thundergodreborn 💕

[darkspear-dancers]

9. If your muse could make a new law, what would it be and why? 

Respect the Loa! It's the law of the land in Zandalar and in Darkspear territory, but if Zul'Jawa had his way, the words would ring forth across all Azeroth. Trolls consider the loa sacred, but many have been drawn to claim their power for themselves.

Worshipping one of the few loa that survived the downfall of the Drakkari Empire, Zul'Jawa feels a deep hatred towards any troll that would take a blade to the very loa that bless them and their lands.

[ Thank you so much for the ask, @thundergodreborn !! ]

📣 A song for when my muse is upset or angry

✧✦⭒ SONG ASSOCIATIONS —

Secret - The Pierces

A fittingly creepy, charming dark lullaby of a song that slips into the madness of repetition, and a veiled threat that builds as the song goes on. The playful lyrics denote something more slowly unhinged than an explosion of anger or violence, something continous, something macabrely amused with being wronged, a dreadful vindiction that collects in a wound like a disease, or maggots burying under the skin as the strange courtesies crack, and shatter.

'If I show you, then I know you Won't tell what I said 'Cause two can keep a secret If one of them is dead'

'You swore you'd never tell~ You swore you'd never tell~'

{ @thundergodreborn - thank you! }

[unabashedrebel]

🔥🔥. One ooc and one for rp

OOC: Vulpera are actually adorable and I generally enjoy the vibe they bring to horde RP.

IC: Whilst staring down a Vulpera with then perish eyes Kirollis uttered a single line, “Garrosh was right.”

Thanks @thundergodreborn !

[unabashedrebel]

💭 What does your creative process look like when creating a character?

Wait….. you guys have a process?

Tbh it’s like forging a sword. They start off as this piping hot metal rod (the concept) and as I RP them and they set up their room in my head, they get hammered out in finer detail. And finally, they then are unleashed on the world and usually end up killing people.

I donno to be honest, when I have an idea that resonates it kind of just clicks with a lot of unfocused effort and a whole lot of loving interest.

Thanks @thundergodreborn !
