𝐀 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐑 ⸻ “we were all just abandoned in this town at some point, and at some point we all just started doing this job.”

gifted with elemental magical abilities activated by spells & prayers, takers are the first line of defence & prevention against civillians entering the island. their origin remains unknown : one day they wake up on dragon's beak with no memories, supposedly dropped there and / or possibly created by the government — and taken under the care of an older & more experienced taker who raises them and passes all the knowledge they possess, learned from books and experimentation they had to write & carry out by themselves. read more ( one day )

𝐀 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐓 ⸻ “right above my heart there’s something kind of like a tumor. it grows and gets really big and then you take it out with a knife.”

made into people by the origin — a taker's second heart — and grown into living beings in containers consisting of various chemical substances, valets are said to be takers' both other selves, childrens and spouses. valets are always of opposite sex to their takers & it's believed it's because they're to make taker's existence less lonely, but their actual purpose is unknown. valets possess magical abilities, often differing from their masters', though unlike spells theirs are more combat oriented ( i.e various weapon conjuring ). read more ( one day )

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 ⸻ “dragon's beak was an artificial island, and all of the buildings in the maining village have remained there since the accident.”

dragon's beak was an artificial island in blackgate made to mine uranium, & it was active until an accident that made the mine collapse. supposedly, said accident awoken the power of the fountain of god, one that's supposed to make one's wishes come true ; since the rumours spread across the globe, people from all countries are trying to get to either blackgate or lindthill to then find the fountain and claim the power it supposedly offers. foreign and naval enemies are taken out by the army whereas the police takes care of the rest. when they fail, there's when the takers take over. the island's off limits to anyone who's not permitted by the government. the only way in is through a gate and then a bridge ; the gate is always guarded by the police, & the island is under constant surveillance from the army.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 ⸻ “it'll make your wishes come true, if you're compatible with the fountain's water, that is. most people aren't. they lose their minds and become monsters.”

the fountain is a body of water located on dragon's beak rumoured to grant one's wishes upon submerging into it ( the power of god ) ; most don't know the water could pull you in even if you changed your mind, as it behaves more like a living being. if one is compatible, the water grants their wishes, whatever they might be, additionally granting them also eternal life, & calls them every fifty years or so for a reneval without which the gifted person grows older & weaker, and their gift disappears. if one is not compatible, which is the most common occurence, they become monsters — their body mutates and changes and they lose their sanity becoming a threat to anyone entering the island & the cities nearby ( lindthill, blackgate ). the fountain is off limits to takers & valets, as entering its area weakens and poisons them.

name : alice ( the fourth ) age : few centuries old ; known to be alive pre 1960s ; ages very slowly birthday : sometime in late spring orientation : devoted to her master, bicurious gender : female ( gender indifferent ) pronouns : she / her, it / its — the latter often used derogatorily species : artificially created human ; living being made through organic matter and alchemy ; valet occupation : taker's attendant ; government - hired monster hunter and protector of the island called dragon's beak

physique : delicate, doll - like ; aging so slowly, her body resembles a woman's in late teens or early adulthood ; petite in posture, lithe, frail ; 158 cm short hair : well kept and soft ; past - shoulders in length with a fringe reaching brows ; dark, dark, dark brown — almost black ; usually let down, though at times tied into ponytails or braids with ribbons & cute accessories face : doll - like, with slightly round cheeks and lips of light color ; big empty eyes that shift in light ( from hazel through green to blue ), often said to resemble glass wardrobe : through centuries of living it kept changing to match current trends, though her outfits were always modest and girly — dresses, bows and knee high socks ; scarfs to keep hair in place ; high end - ish and elegant but a little on the younger spectrum of clothing

personality : she's described as warm - hearted and meek & childish, innocent and naive, whilst she calls herself hopeless ; strong - willed, determined, helpful ; rebellious at times if it interferes directly with her need of helping others ; gullible ; shy, quiet yet easily excited & lively when encouraged ; gentle, loving, caring — with a heart of gold

additional information : speaks softly & quietly, sometimes repeating words or stuttering ; winces or ducks upon seeing a raised hand ; blushes ever so slightly whilst smiling ; smells faintly of nature ( cold wind, grass, leaves ), with hints of white lilies

background : under construction alice's first memory is that of kai — his face, slightly blurry, watching her with intensity ; she's brought upon this world in a child's body, naked in bed, observed with medical precision as to make sure the experiment and her waking is complete & going smoothly.

it's kai's fourth time, fourth alice — which she doesn't known until years and years later — and little about her very being is explained to her whatsoever. she's taught ground rules first, everything else second. you are alice. you are a valet. you are my servant, you are made to protect humanity from the tempting waters of the god's fountain on dragon's beak. you may not make connections with humans, you may not bring anyone to the island, you may not speak to anyone about the island & the spring.

due to kai's constant abuse, alice is taken from kai's castle on the outskirts of lindthill to jack and dorothy — another taker - valet duo living in blackgate ; thanks to dorothy's intervention, alice is no longer in danger on a daily basis, unless called to take care of tresspassers seen on the island. read more ( one day )

notable canon connections : kai, the taker who made alice from his own second heart, is her main abuser. however innocent of any sexual innuendos / behavior towards his creation, kai never stopped himself from yelling and insulting, and often resorting to violence to deal with his own anger — at first, just with holding alice harder than necessary, or harshly pulling her closer, later on slapping her face and hitting her. it's said that to kai all valets are disposable & he's killed / allowed to die his three previous alices, as he holds no love towards his creations, even if these creations are by default loving him most — he desires for a valet that holds no love for him, as he has feelings toward a valet that does not belong to him — despite alice's devotion, he talks about it openly, adding a layer of intentional emotional abuse.

notable powers and abilities : ↳ mind connection & limited telepathy to those affected by the water from the fountain & the power of god ; due to being made with additional experimentation with the fountain's water, alice is not only able to freely walk into the fountain of god, but is also unaffected by its negative effect ( she's not nauseous, weakened, has no issues neither breathing nor moving ).

↳ swordfight & weapon conjuring & wielding, usually heavy & two - handed ( javelins, scythes, spears, glaives ). battles with ease but with hesitation, hoping to do no harm if it can be avoided ( usually, it can't, & so her dithering causes further trouble ).

↳ earth magic usage, minor and lesser and rather subconscious than intentional ; the power manifests pretty randomly in life threatening situations & cannot be relied on.

↳ regeneration & healing, however improved & faster than regular humans', still slower than takers'. said ability doesn't make alice immune or less prone to feeling pain.

𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 ( i'll try to keep it short & sweet, prommy! )

content warning : disturbing themes present & explored ahead, please be careful. topics in source material include abuse ( verbal, sexual, physical, domestic ), body horror, mentions of incest, toxic relationships based on unhealthy familiar dynamics & power differences and many more. please proceed with caution.

𝐈, hi ! i'm 𝒔𝒐𝒇𝒕𝒊𝒆 and i use it / its pronouns ; i'm over 21 years of age and prefer being called what and not who. due to being autistic i may not understand social clues right away, so please communicate with me simply and directly. english is not my first language.

𝐈𝐈, under no circumstances do i tolerate any behavior that doesn't fall under the standard roleplay etiquette. don't be racist, homophobic, creepy, all that. minors are asked to refrain from interacting as well, & my preference is to roleplay with writers of the age 21 and above.

𝐈𝐈𝐈, once again! due to media i write for, expect heavily triggering content ! i usually don't tag triggers unless specifically asked to ( or if it's stated in your rules ) ; please expect the following : violence, gore, death, blood, manipulation, substance abuse & many, many more.

𝐈𝐕, i'm more or less sex repulsed, and lots of nsfw topics tackled on blogs make me uncomfortable. i don't write smut often ( if ever, actually ), but when i do it's only with trusted friends — so if you're actively seeking that in your threads, you might wanna reconsider me as your writing partner.

𝐕, i do tend to format my replies heavily, but i also am more than happy to adjust to my writing partners ! usually, for me, there will be small text, triple spacing, color in dialogues / symbols & fancy fonts as well as icons and dividers. but, as mentioned earlier, if any of this makes it hard for you to read, i'll happily accomodate to your needs ! i would appreciate if you highlighted your muse's dialogues in bold or / and in color.

𝐕𝐈, i run a bunch of other blogs, so my activity is very sporadic & my muse, in general, fluctuates often. my reply speed never equals the interest i have in writing !! most of my muses are located on my multi, psielapki, or on different solo blogs with which you're more than welcome to interact. ♥

𝐕𝐈𝐈, all art is official. psd coloring was made by weirdestwitch.
