guidelines

  • inbox! I do not accept anon hate, or anonymous critique of myself, my muses/their canon, or my partners. If you have critique, you're welcome to message me privately on discord!

  • I practice categorical denial of subtext - I will not respond to passive aggression, to include: silent treatment, guilt tripping, or other related behaviors - full stop. I’m no longer tolerating this behavior in myself, & I will no longer tolerate it in others, either. if we can not communicate openly & respectfully, then we will not communicate.

  • regarding discourse! this blog does not partake in discourse. I don't mind seeing it on the dash, but I will generally not contribute to it on my rp blogs as a matter of personal comfort. if you happen to have the link for my personal blog, you can find many of my thoughts, feelings, & opinions on a broad spectrum of meta - both fandom & rpc-centric - there.

  • regarding drama on the dash! outside of verified predatory behavior backed by tangible proof, please do not recruit me for your callouts or try to play me against people on the dash. I understand that not all of us get along. I reserve my right to curate & optimize my dash & experience as I see fit. I do not require assistance in doing so. (I know this sounds harsh, I am just very, very tired™.)

  • regarding DNIs. I do have a personal DNI for myself, & I will check your blog to see if you heavily interact with anyone on it. I don't share this list with anyone so please do not ask me for it - it's just for my own comfort. see rule 5 - not all of us will get along, & that's absolutely okay 💜.

  • blog schedule! I run this blog on a scheduled queue, & currently post replies 3x a week (M/W/F). This helps me stay consistent without getting overwhelmed. You can find my draft tracker here for when things will post, & what’s currently in my drafts. Currently, I do drafts on the Monday also on M/W/F, so that's when you'll find me logged into that blog on desktop & mobile. schedule is currently on break given offline shenanigans taking too much of my time. I'll post when able.

  • This blog is private , so I will only interact with mutuals at this time. My preferred style is multipara, but I’m fine with shorter or novella with plotting. I primarily use icons & small text in terms of formatting. important! please DO NOT send me "wanna rp?" - if you fill out the plotting guide on my pinned post, I'll come to you!

  • unfollowing. Inactive 2+ months w/o hiatus notice, untagged NSFW, becoming exclusive with another version of my muse + excessive gore, transphobia, nazism, pedophilia, antisemitism, & racism - which will additionally result in a block.

  • romantic shipping. You may see a variety of platonic & romantic ships on this blog. if you're unsure, you're definitely welcome to ask or indicate you'd like to work towards it on my tracker! I ship chemistry here, but some muses may have specific requirements & I'll have those noted on their page.

  • nsfw. it may appear on the blog, but infrequently! I always tag with #nsfw, & it will be under a read more. additionally, I appreciate everyone's understanding of my preference for established ships before sending in nsfw-centric memes.

  • this blog does practice both mains & exclusives. these are partners I either have deeply established plotting with, or are muses that have significant triggers &/or squicks built into their canon that give me Big Hesitation.

  • lore: If I'm exclusive with someone & their muse is referenced in another thread as a NPC, you can be assured I mean them specifically 💜 Exclusives also tend to influence my own muses' canon fairly heavily, as well.

  • fandom familiarity is never required for any of my muses. you can find an outline of what muses fit into what additional canons through their verses here.

  • credits. promo template @judahdesigns. + banners & select icons by @houseofsol. + bubble-psd icons by me.

  • the following things are tagged in case you need to block them: nsfw, gore, blood, violence, deceased fcs

  • the follow are not present on my blog: current events (generally), incest (related fandoms tagged), noncon, callouts

Shadowhunters

  • Mun is unfamiliar with The Eldest Curses, The Dark Artifices, & The Secrets of Blackthorn Hall at this time - I'm slowly making my way through them, but many of these muses thrive best in fandom or AU verses lately

  • Most, if not all, muses are book based but influenced by the show in various capacities. I'm critical of the show, but I do enjoy some of the nuance introduced so small changes will show up (such as Alec being Head of the Institute of New York, etc). Verses will be primarily based on the books, though

  • One exception to the above: Jonathan is primarily show based because of his heavy divergence.

important notes

divergency, post Winter Soldier (2014) instead of disappearing into the city & moving abroad to go underground, Bucky surrendered to what remained of shield, & allowed himself to be brought in so that they could ascertain the extent of the damage hydra had done to him in his time as their asset.during this time, his complicity in the deaths of tony's parents is revealed in a much safer environment, lending to them processing both his actions but also his lack of control or personal agency without him being villianized.Civil War. when someone attempted to frame Barnes for the bombing of the Vienna international centre, the team pulled in close to get to the bottom of what had really happened. given that Barnes, whose whereabouts the press had categorized as unknown to protect & facilitate his recovery, had been strictly monitored & restricted to the new avengers facility in upstate new york, he was easily cleared.delving into everything they could regarding the bombing & working alongside the joint counter terrorist centre, it was soon revealed that Helmut Zemo was responsible, & this realization led the team to the hydra Siberian facility, where they confronted Zemo.Zemo attempted to tear the team apart by revealing the truth behind Howard & Maria stark's deaths, but that information had already been known to the group. when this attempt failed, Zemo reactivated Barnes' dormant programming, leading to an all-out brawl that resulted in the loss of his cybernetic arm before he was contained by the combined efforts of Stark, Steve, & a new ally, T'Challa.

  • note regarding The Snap: I feel it's fairly integral to my canon to keep Bucky getting snapped, primarily because I have already diverged so wildly from canon. I feel like diverging further would do damage to the progress I have him making, so I will be keeping the Snap canon for most verses.

  • on being left handed: Though naturally left handed, as The Winter Soldier, he was trained & conditioned to be not just functionally ambidextrous, but entirely - to the point that after being fully deprogrammed, it took him a further six months to shake it off & start defaulting to his left again. There will always be the barest hint of hesitation in using it as his dominant hand in intimate situations, but that’s something he’s slowly overcoming with time.

  • therapy & adjustments after Endgame: Bucky sitting down with a mandated therapist not long after the events of The Blip was hardly the first time he was put in a position to unpack his trauma, but it was definitely not the most productive. he had previously started unpacking the bulk of his experiences almost directly after the fall of the Triskelion in 2014, upon being remanded into the Avengers’ custody & choosing to work towards his own healing on his own terms. read more.

important notes

divergency, you will find the complete outline of this muse's divergence here.please keep in mind this muse is entirely divergent from his actual canon, & that I have crafted his canon from the ground up since I started writing him in 2014. I'm aware it's incredibly dense, & a lot to take in, so I'm more than happy to go over the basics while plotting, however I will be very firm in having it respected as I do not follow follow canon affiliation with hydra & neither does any facet of this muse.this muse does not acknowledge, much less follow, his 616 canon.

timeline of events


1973

June

  • Born: Andrea Provenzano, June 8, 1973, to Anna Vittoria Provenzavo, neé Riina.

  • He would grow up in a small apartment in Manhattan's Lower East, but most of the files regarding his childhood are heavily redacted.

  • He has no contact with his birth father, one Bernardo Provenzano, nor his maternal grandfather, one Salvatore Riina.


1980 - 1988

TW for sexual assault, abuse, & drug use/mentions

  • From ages 7 to 15, Brock was sexually abused in a manner of ways by his step father. Whether or not his mother was fully aware of this at the time is unknown, but his step father's tendency to become violent when intoxicated coupled with existing drug & alcohol abuse, the lack of confrontation is hardly surprising.

  • It was within this period, as well, that he started abusing drugs & alcohol himself. Because he had access to this at home via his step father, it was more than easy to fall into a pattern of addiction.

  • There's some suspicion that his Naval career was kickstarted because he was given a choice of jail, or joining up. Regardless, the start of his Naval career coincides with the end of his addiction.

  • His step-dad disappeared one night shortly after Brock's 15th birthday when he went out to buy beer. By the time his step-son came home from work, Anna Vittoria was already concerned. A police report was eventually filed, but there were no leads.


1987

Education

  • At the urging of a high school guidance counselor who could see the damage his home life was doing him, Brock enrolled in a new & controversial program sponsored by a revolutionary public high school's collaborative efforts with New York University, catapulting him beyond regular curriculum by the time he was in the 9th grade.

  • This meant getting up early, & getting home late. Even after his step-father went missing, Brock continued with the program.


1990

Graduation

  • because of this choice & his own sheer stubbornness, he had completed requirements for graduation as well as an associates by the time he had finished 11th grade. instead of completing the second half of his junior year & continuing onto his senior year, he opted to enroll in nyu full-time.

  • he graduated NYU with a B.A. in international relations, & minor in national security studies.

  • Pushing through, he completed the program in record time & used many of his credits to qualify for an additional certification in counter terrorism.

military

  • Brock joined the Navy in ’90, immediately after graduation, and pushed himself hard enough that by the end of ’91, he was an esteemed member of a small class of Navy SEALs, joining Naval Special Warfare Development Group/DEVGRU.

  • He took the name Brock Rumlow during this time, after an instructor who relentlessly pushed him to be better & a college professor who had shown more faith in him than he'd had in himself.

concurrent MCU & current affairs events


1992

Promotion to O-2, Lieutenant, Junior Grade

  • Brock was promoted to O-2, Lieutenant, Junior Grade, shortly before his involvement in combat activities during the Battle of Mogadishu.

1994

Promotion to O-3, Lieutenant

DEVGRU & falling onto the CIA's radar

  • Originally fronted as a member of the Red Squadron (Assault Team), his actual role was one of a little over a hundred members of the covert Black Squadron (Reconnaissance & Surveillance Team). This information is known only to four individuals: Vice Admiral Joseph D. Kernan, Rear Admiral Edward G. Winters, III, Nick Fury, & Maria Hill.

  • It was his time on the Black Squadron that caught the attention of the CIA's Special Activities Division's Special Operations Group for tactical paramilitary operations.

  • His being scouted was additionally direct result of his fringe but effective involvement in the events preceding the Battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan (which would peak later in 2001).


1995

general

  • his step father was declared legally dead after being missing for seven years, & the family was allowed to collect his life insurance, which Anna used to improve & otherwise update the family restaurant.

march

  • Between deployments to the Middle East, the Navy received a special request from the S.H.I.E.L.D. station in Bogotá to have a person on hand to monitor & assist with a growing situation.

  • Given that the bulk of his team was either overseas or recovering from duty, Brock volunteered.

  • He landed in Bogotá during the last week of March, setting up under Deputy Chief of the station, one Nicholas Fury, whom he'd work closely with to monitor the ongoing situation.

may

  • May 5th: Alexander Pierce is in State Department in Bogotá when ELN rebels take the embassy. Security get Pierce out, but the rebels take hostages. Fury goes to Pierce with a plan that had been brainstormed between him & Rumlow for extraction - wanting to storm the building through the sewers. Pierce says no, insisting that they negotiate.

  • Fury ignores the direct order & carries out an unauthorized military operation on foreign soil, rescuing the hostages - a dozen political offers, including Pierce's daughter.

  • Pierce attempts negotiation, but ELN refuse, & put out a kill order. They storm the basement, but find it empty. Pierce is relieved that Fury defied him, as it meant the hostages were saved, whereas otherwise they would have been killed, including his daughter.

  • Brock leaves Bogotá with a letter of commendation & notes of distinction both from Diplomat Pierce & Deputy Chief Fury. Fury makes a note to keep an eye on the young officer, & then moves to California following a promotion from Pierce.


1996

2000

military

  • Promotion to O-4, Lieutenant Commander


2001

Tora Bora

  • Despite the operation being largely ineffectual, his personal efforts & command effort to set up the operation as a whole were taken into account & later used as a basis for his recruitment.

  • US forces stayed in the area until January 2002.


2004

January / February

  • Brock officially transitions from full active duty with the Navy SEALs to working on loan to the CIA under the CIA's Special Activities Division Special Operations Group - a division with less than one hundred operatives.

  • He's implanted with a modified L-Pill, a small capsule under his left molar that can be dislodged in the event he's compromised.

Spring

  • Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld signs a classified order authorizing extended clandestine operations

  • Note: The secret order, authorized by the then-president, gave the military new authority to attack the Qaeda terrorist network anywhere in the world, and a more sweeping mandate to conduct operations in countries not at war with the United States.

June

  • John Garret returns to Wyoming for Grant Ward. SHIELD is alerted of this, having kept Ward on its own index after his disappearance in '99.

  • Fury officially makes a request for a high level operative transfer from the CIA's Special Activities Division Special Operations Group to oversee & orchestrate an infiltration of a suspected parasitic organization having formed within SHIELD.

  • Specifically, he requests the young agent he had kept tabs on nearly ten years ago.


2005

notes

  • Note: his work with HYDRA is a deep cover operation overseen jointly by his commanding officer at SAC, & Fury.

  • Brock is largely unsupervised because of the nature of the deep cover, but his loyalty is unquestionably to SHIELD, & I will not negotiate on this.

  • His job is to hunt N*zis, & turn the suspected parasitic organization within SHIELD over to the high command to be dealt with.

general

  • Starts working with SHIELD in the capacity of STRIKE Commander, & starts his work infiltrating HYDRA. He re-introduces himself to Secretary Pierce, reminding him of their work in Bogotá, & thanking him for the letter of commendation.

  • Pierce starts keeping tabs on Rumlow, monitoring his potential to be recruited to HYDRA.

  • Starts up a casual relationship with level 6 agent Rebecca Stevens as part of his cover.

heavily divergent. the heir to the Skywalker bloodline, Solo possessed raw strength in the force & had the potential for limitless power. Originally targeted by Snoke, Ben eventually revealed the presence of this mysteriousvoice to his uncle, the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, & how it kept coaxing him away from the light down a path of deep darkness & isolation.Luke would finally talk to him about the Skywalker bloodline, & the legacy it carried with it - easing that sense of isolation while acknowledging his own doubts & concerns. Knowing his apprentice was being targeted by something sinister, but not knowing the source, Luke began teaching him advance techniques to help him shield himself & his mind, as well as how to distance himself from the Force as a last resort defense should something arise from this presence.This would eventually come to a head years later, when Luke experienced a vision of what would come to pass should the darkness take his nephew-turned-apprentice. In the early, pre-dawn hours following that vision, there was an explosion that brought down the entire hut, seemingly resulting in the death of the once-prodigy. Twenty-three year old Ben Organa-Solo would be buried, & mourned, his presence lost in the force to all because of a tragic accident.or at least - that would be the official story, with the truth only known to the master that packed his apprentice into a t-65b x-wing with coordinates known only to the the young boy piloting, the droid R2-D2, & Lor San Tekka.

This means there are very few modern languages she cannot comprehend outside of a few language isolates.

  • Andy both loves & hates technology's rapid advancement - especially over the last few decades alone. She had to be coerced into trading in her flip phone for a touch screen & even before that they had to pry her pager out of her cold, dead hands. Despite her reticence to adopt new technology, though, she learns exceptionally fast - she's just tired.

timeline of events

note :: anything noted in this color indicates reference to my own muse, or affiliates

4700 BCE

  • born into part of a nomadic tribe in the pontic–caspian steppe, Andy never thought for a moment that she might be anything different from the rest of her people; she'd live, & die alongside them. she was killed by the woman who she looked up to as a mother when the other became threatened by her youth & her talent.

  • killing her triggered Andromache's immortality, & she rose again, striking down the other in her place. she lead her people for several centuries after as a warrior queen, worshipped by some as a god.

  • she would leave her people circa 3300 BCE to spend thousands of years roaming the earth learning, teaching, & fighting her way through in the hopes of finding someone else like herself - another immortal who might share the burden of this eternity.

1300s BCE

  • Andy starts dreaming of Quynh/Noriko.

  • During this time, she acts as a temple guard for the Oracle of Delphi -- a position she would retain in various forms until a century before the conquest of Judea.

331/332 BCE

  • during Alexander the Great's Conquest of Judea, she found Lykon. He would travel with her as a two person private army & lending their swords to whatever causes they felt worthy.

641 (CE)

  • they met Quynh while riding with Amir Ibin al-As against the Byzantine empire in Alexandria, Egypt, at a treaty signing. The three would then travel together as their own private army, crossing the continents together.

1096 - 1099 & the First Crusades

  • Two new immortals emerge in the carnage; Nicolo of Genoa, a young knight who had left the priesthood behind, & Yusuf Ibrahim al-Kaysani, the scion of a merchant trading family from Maghrib, who met trying to kill each other during the siege of Jerusalem.

Late 1300s

  • After 200 or so years of searching, the Guard is finally whole as the trio finally meet Nicky & Joe & end the dream cycle.

1494-1559

  • The Death of Lykon: Lykon, the first immortal Andy had found in her long life, & the one who had been one of her most constant companions, would become the first of them to fall during the City-State Wars of Italy - an end he seemed ready to accept long before the others were.

  • Andy would separate out from the Guard during this time & offer her services to Cesare Borgia. After his death in 1507, she returned to the rest of the Guard to see out the end of the Hapsburg-Valois Wars through 1559.

1559 to 1660

  • in the aftermath, & finally processing the realization that there was a limit to their immortality, Andy & Quynh were captured while trying to free women caught in the tide of religious hysteria.

  • after rescuing a group of women about to be burned as witches, the two were hung by the neck. When death would not take them, it was seen as confirmation of their heretical agenda. If they could not die... then the priests believed a more fitting prison was required.

  • Quynh was separated from Andy, imprisoned in an iron maiden, & cast overboard into the sea south of the Horn of Africa.

  • Andy was saved by Nicky & Joe before she could face the same fate, & they spent decades searching for anyone on the ship, or their survivors who might be able to tell them where Quynh was cast off but to no avail.

Late 1700s - 1812

  • After a long dormancy period, the Guard starts dreaming of a returning face & makes for Regency England.

  • Andy stays in London until the season winds down for the summer & dreams of a new immortal start, reluctantly leaving their old friend behind to live out her mortal life.

June 1812

  • Sébastien Lelivre (Booker), a convicted forger, was killed for attempted desertion of the Napoleonic Army during its invasion of Russia. Booker would be the last immortal Andy would find for some time.

  • His intellect & adaptability is what helped the team find new direction, & it was with Booker that Andy faced the 20th century with some sense of purpose - the immortals became true guns for hire.

2020s

  • With the rise of a new immortal - the USMC Nile Freeman, killed in Afghanistan, Andy comes face to face with the modern reality that the old tips & tricks for sticking to the shadows no longer apply - the world is a much smaller place, & there are less places for them to hide.

  • Additionally, the Guard might yet see the return of another familiar face - Quynh has found her way to the surface, & she's hell bent on revenge - starting with those who abandoned her.

Warning for mentions of sexual assault. Although she & her gifts were discovered when she was five, Genya has been working on herself since she was three. Given her uniqueness as a tailor, she was gifted to the Queen by the Darkling. She's slept in the Grand Palace ever since, marked as a servant - a grisha without a color - & has been subjected to the abuse of the King. She is disallowed to work on other Grisha as per the queen's orders.

select headcanons & lore

  • Genya does not enjoy silence. Quite the opposite, really - silence sets her on edge. She’s used to the bustle & chatter of the Grand Palace & Little Palace, & the silence makes her turn her thoughts inward far too much for her liking.

  • Genya is very vocal about what she likes to drink - champagne, & there’s no such thing as too much. she is specifically particular to a variety of the sparkling wine imported from Kerch via the southern colonies that has a honeycomb or yellow apple taste to it, but she’s hardly one to turn her nose up to whatever is being offered.

  • when she’s not indulging, she prefers tea from one of the samovars maintained for palace servants, where заварка (Zavarka, a tea concentrate - usually black with a smoky taste profile from the long caravans used to bring it to Os Alta) is brewed before being diluted with water from the base. she prefers her tea not especially strong, but still with more of a punch than many of the others might prefer.

  • She takes her tea with jam - peach during the summer, as that’s what’s grown in the hot houses in the Little Palace, or plum during the rest of the year. this is usually by taking a spoonful of jam & setting it on her tongue before drinking, & it’s the last little tradition she has to remember her blood family by.

NoteThis muse has incredibly triggering subject matter in both his background & his canon moving forward, & I will not blunt those things because doing so would take away from the accuracy of his portrayal.

Endemic triggersGore, excessive violence, body horror, disturbing though patterns, haphephobia, skin hunger & resulting/related violence.
Shipping notesbi-romantic, bi-sexual but severely touch repulsed.
Romantic shippingKaz is very difficult to ship with, given his canon compounded trauma & touch aversion, so I'll be approaching romantic shipping very loosely with him, & it will not be a priority.

in Kaz's canon verses, he is between 17-26, & as such, I do not feel comfortable shipping him with anyone over the age of 30 at this time.
platonic/found familyOn the other hand, once Kaz has invested emotionally in someone, he has a loyalty streak that's miles deep. This is an avenue that's always available - with plotting - & will be much easier to form with him... comparatively speaking.

navigation

important notes

  • most important: Kaz suffers from extreme haphephobia (fear of touch) due to deeply ingrained childhood trauma. He only removes his gloves in front of Inej & would not under any circumstances do so in front of anyone else unless significantly plotted.

  • He does not respond well to touch, & will react angrily to it at bare minimum. He is known to take a hand from those who lay them on him, so please keep this in mind when interacting with him.

  • in modern verses, I have edited his backstory a touch to keep his characterization consistent even in verses where it would not be congruent with worldbuilding for him to have suffered a bad break & had it set improperly, as well as to keep the level of trauma he would have endured because of the reaper's barge consistent even without the event itself being possible.

differences in show vs novel

  • an important note that the show's first season is largely an invented plot to server as a prequel to Six of Crows, & it's possible that the second season will feature the book's plot more properly. that being said, this changes the timeline as in the books, the events of shadow & bone take place several years before six of crows.

  • Kaz's age: his age is fluid depending on which canon I'm interacting with. Book muses will see book!aged Kaz, show muses will see an older Kaz. Modern verse, I write him around early to mid 20s

  • The DeKappel Painting (s1e1): diverging from the show, inej & kaz instead stole a painting from the merchant Jan Van Eck worth almost 100,000 kruge. Kaz keeps this painting rolled up under his bed in the Slat.

  • Kaz' eye color: I default to the book - his eyes are brown.


current connections with kaz brekker

verses

  • important note: Kaz's general job description & characterization do not change heavily, nor will his backstory. Many of the verses listed below are variations on the same thing for ease of interaction with a wide variety of muses in varied settings.

  • in terms of backstory: in AU verses, I will default to Kaz & his family having succumbed to a freak outbreak of an unknown hemorrhagic poxvirus, & Kaz survived after spending 8 days laying feverish beside them as an updated point of reference to account for having same-similar levels of trauma to his canon backstory.

  • in terms of his disability: in any verse variant enough that his backstory warrants tweaking, Kaz will suffer from significant osteonecrosis instead of an unhealed break to convey the same level of disability within a worldbuild where his break going improperly healed would be otherwise implausible. He is disabled, & I will not be writing that out in an iteration of his character.

Jordie brought his younger brother, Kaz, to Ketterdam after their father died in a plowing accident when he was 13 & Kaz was 9. Hoping to one day become a successful merchant, Jordie searched for jobs in Ketterdam's financial district, eventually finding work as an exchange runner for Jakob Hertzoon, a man who claimed to be a small-time merchant.After being led into a false business venture, Jordie was conned out of all the remaining money from the sale of his family's farm, which left the brothers living in poverty on the streets. Not long after that, they contracted the deadly plague firepox going around Ketterdam. Jordie seemingly succumbed to the disease, but Kaz survived, using his brother's body to escape the Reaper Barge & death by drowning in Ketterdam's Fifth Harbour.What Kaz does't know is that Jordie didn't succumb to Firepox. The plague weakened his already battered body because the older boy was already dealing with a sickness of a different kind already; weakness caused by the suppression of his grisha abilities. Abilities that had manifested tragically, albeit unknown to his younger brother, just weeks before when their father had died.After floating in the harbor for what seemed like hours, his body made it to one of the Council's watchtowers. When they realized he was alive, having unconsciously manipulated the tides to pull himself to shore, he was brought to the tower properly. When he awoke days later, he was informed he was the only survivor - the little brother he had sworn to protect & only family he had left as gone.Once he had recovered sufficiently, & his abilities were tested, Jordie chose to done the signature cloak & mask of the Council of Tides, becoming one of the Tidemakers responsible for protecting Kerch & manipulating the tides in Ghezen's interest. He's stayed in the tower, one of the very few on permanent rotation instead of choosing to split time between the city & their duties. He hasn't really left since, cutting himself off from the city that took his brother from him & watching over the harbor as penance for the lives his arrogance had claimed.

heavy divergence. the official story is that when the news of her husband's death reached her, céline committed suicide. the truth was far more gruesome: céline, having been privy to both her husband & mother-in-law's suspicions, had quietly contacted Jocelyn, who confirmed something céline feared - Valentine had experimented on both of them.Before she could flee, though, Céline was attacked by Valentine & left for dead as they took her baby boy. She survived, thanks largely to Imogen's quick thinking, but the event left her deeply, deeply depressed. Imogen kept her busy - sending her to other institutes as an emissary of sorts, or allowing her to study at institutes where Imogen felt the Clave may need an extra pair of eyes.Traveling suited Céline. She found things she was good at that she never considered before - chief among those things being language, & diplomacy. Still fearing for her safety as the remnants of the Circle were hunted down, Imogen advised her daughter-in-law to leave Idris. She did, traveling north until she found her way all the way to the institute in Tromsø, where she would spend a year before traveling with Imogen to Paris.Paris changed everything, & Céline was determined that now, in the face of everything, she would never let another human being take another thing from her. She returned to Alicante, & ultimately took the vows of the Iron Sisters. Now, she works in the bottom of the armory in Alicante when she's not traveling to each of the institutes, helping them with their timely modernization.

from her wiki. As a young girl, Seraphine developed a passion for music of all kinds. This passion only grew after her Mother's departure, leaving just her and her father in their Piltovian home. Seraphine's subtle updates to her stage and "secret" underground trips to Zaun continued throughout her adolescent years, as she grew even more involved with the antics of the war, finding her place in the conflict. Soon it became evident that her father was both aware and proud of her musical antics, seeing his previous dream of sharing his songs with the world in his daughter.At some point, Seraphine met Acorn, her chipmunk companion (otherwise known as "the Hextechnician"), who began accompanying her on her undisclosed trips underground. Seraphine's father began helping her with her equipment, touching up her guitar after long concerts, while she focused on making her disguise as flashy as possible.Seraphine slowly began building her reputation throughout Zaun, performing soulful concerts and attracting large groups of its citizens, who were dazed and intrigued by her colorful, powerful songs. She actively began competing with other popular performers underground, including the infamous Zaun Diva, Scratch, both impressed with the other's musical capabilities.

biography

early years - Hdzień (1984 - 1988)

Nathaniel Volkov was born to an Irish mother & Belarusian father in Hdzień, Belarus - a small town in what would later be the Chernobyl exclusion zone - in October of 1984. His mother, Máiread Ainé Ó Braonáin (anglicized to Margaret Anna Brennan) taught English, a skill that had brought her throughout Europe until she met his father & settled down. His father, Mikita Волков (Volkov), worked in agriculture in the area surrounding Hdzień, providing the bulk of the income for the family. They lived in Hdzień for a three & a half after he was born, relocating back to Muileann na Buaise on the northern Irish coast after the Chernobyl disaster eventually forced them to evacuate from the exclusion zone.

early years - Muileann na Buaise (1988 - 1991)

Settling into life on the Northern Irish coast was hard - Mikita had left behind a lucrative & successful business when the family left the exclusion zone, & the next few years would see a deterioration of his health from the effects of the nuclear fallout. Máiread was forced to pick up a job as a teacher in one of the parish schools, a job that demanded high hours for very little pay. That, coupled with her own downturn in health after a difficult pregnancy & delivery of Ava in 1988, just months after their move across the continent, further took its toll. Máiread's mental & physical health might've been stronger than her husband's, but unbeknownst to her children, it hung on by a thread.The family's poverty had far-reaching effects through the household - the siblings & two adults lived in a small house that had limited plumbing, & no central heat. Despite this, all of the siblings were very close even with the drastic age differences. The older siblings worked in the city, the younger siblings did their chores. The y received their education by Máiread homeschooling them, but largely they were left to their own devices to make what money they could. It was enough for a while, but eventually even that luck ran out. By the time Chloe was born on 1991, Mikita's health was at an all time low & hewas officially unable to work in any capacity. Máiréad's teaching salary was not enough to support herself, ten children, & an invalid husband.

Manifestation of Talent (October/November 1991)

Nathaniel's talent manifested on his seventh birthday. There had been flickers of it before, but it took strong emotions for the full range of his powers to flare. An argument with one of his siblings turned heated, & when Nadzeya grabbed his arms to shake him, she collapsed on the floor, unconscious. A week later, the results of his test came back, & everything changed; not only was Ersken's psionic ability confirmed, but the levels of his raw ability were off the charts. His mother, who had grown fervently religious as her health had taken its downturn, turned on him, making it clear he was unwelcome in her house. The other siblings, unwilling or afraid of her wrath, did nothing to support him.It took two weeks for everything to go to hell officially; the Belarusian government filed a petition of reclamation. As it turned out, Mikita had neglected to file the correct paperwork for the children; Nathaniel, as well as the other older children - Artem, Aleksey, Hanna, Nadzeya, Mariya, Sophie, & Daniel - had never filed for citizenship in Ireland, instead maintaining their Belarusian citizenship, & therefore were mandated to attend instruction for any latent or manifest psionic abilities within their country of origin.The Belarusian envoy struck a deal with Nathaniel's family; if Nathaniel would return to Belarus for instruction regarding his abilities, they would not seek jurisdiction over the other siblings, or enact punitive measures over the misfiled paperwork. Additionally, they would enable restitution to the family for Mikita's healthcare (& a host of other expenses to the family). Máiread handed over her son for the price of her other children's freedom & a one time payment of £76,040 (approximately €136,097 today.).Nathaniel's last view of his family was seeing them disappear down the unpaved driveway, his sibling's faces disappearing in the smudged windows as his few meager possessions rattled in a trunk. He was seven years old, & he would never see them alive again.

кацярына акадэмія (1991 - 2000)

His next seven birthdays would be spent at Katsiaryna Academy outside of Minsk. Little is known about this period of his life, only that he was tested & approved for the Necromage track. On his official transcripts, it was noted he was disallowed from testing in any other disciplines, & barred from taking on other tracks as any sort of minor training. He was solely trained in subjects relating to necromagic, & spent long hours immersed in training or isolated in a sensory deprivation tank in an effort to induce enough stress to grow his abilities. (it was during this time he discovered details about his psionic ability, & became a vegetarian.)some specifics on his schooling at Katsiaryna:
- Katsiaryna is a Soviet Paranormal Educational Center, unmarked on any map & largely unknown by name outside of Belarus. It resembles a military academy in form & function, but the subjects differ vastly from tradition schoolwork.
- from ages 6-10, primary schooling includes ready, writing, arithmetic, & expansive history during the morning hours. afternoon hours are spent training the mind to control psionic gifts via techniques used specifically for Magi Memory Training – which is both effective & ruthless, & enables the individual complete control & order over their thoughts. This training is the basis for every psionic discipline. It also enables psions to defend themselves against various psychic attacks on a very basic level.
- At age ten, the students typically “graduate” & move into formal studies within their discipline.
- the school had a standing policy of frugality: meals were no different than what they would later see during military service, uniforms threadbare & hems let out to allow for growth.
- There is limited to no equipment for play, & many of the lower ranking students received inadequate mental & physical healthcare.
Even during the earliest years of his training at Katsiaryna, Nathaniel was kept in near-complete isolation, often in sensory deprivation chambers when not in class in an effort to increase his control & his powers. Belarusian officials recognized his abilities as far exceeding that of a typical necromage early on, & wanted to harness this power to its fullest for the benefit of their military.Note: this paragraph contains non-graphic/non-descriptive reference/triggers for child abuse & torture. Skip to the next paragraph to avoid. After his graduation from primary education, he was further isolated. His teachers, unsatisfied with his progress, began torturing him to bring him closer & closer to the edge in the hopes a close call or two would amplify his abilities. His days also included long, deep mediation sessions for him to become comfortable in the halls of death & additional Magi training for fortified control. End trigger warning for content.Despite the official ban on him taking on other disciplines, he was approved for limited classes in related disciplines to stave off the most corrosive effects of his own talent - prolonged exposure to Death has been proven to wear down even the most fortified mind, & that was the excuse used to justify his delving into simple hedgewitchery classes, music lessons (which would help him properly use the tools of his trade), & the long hours spent in the school library reading.Trivia:
- Katsiaryna was supposedly ordered to be shut down in 1999 after inspectors from the EU cited the treatment of students as in violation of human rights, but as it could not technically be proven in international court, the academy remains open to this day. Regardless, it remains a sore spot in EU-Belarusian relations, & the reason for significant sanctions against the country by both the EU & the United States.

Leaving the Academy (Oct. - Dec. 2000) & taking a new name.

Nathaniel slipped his confinement shortly before his sixteenth birthday with the help of a fake passport & other fake documents. He obtained these documents by breaking the highest taboo for Necromages; resurrecting a recently deceased individual for a private client. He was paid a life changing amount for this off the books deal, then he took the money, forged a new identity, & fled. His goal was to finally go home & get some answers from his family. However, when he landed in Muileann na Buaise, he found no information on his family.He spent Christmas 2000 on an airplane, using his expertly forged passport to enter the US, & by New Years he had applied for asylum. His application was approved six months later, the summer after his first semester in an American School. His extraordinary psionic ability was arguably part of why he was approved.One year after his asylum status was approved, he applied for his green card alongside his requests to continue his education, & formal paperwork to look into what had happened to his family after the payout from the Belarusian government, & his disappearance to the academy.Starting at an American psionic academy proved just how effective the brutal methods he'd endured in Belarus had been - he was far stronger & better trained in many ways than his American counterparts, but worlds behind in many others. He began diversifying his training, officially picking up hedgewitch courses to ease the corrosion of the Necromagic track, & perhaps more importantly, he started going by his middle name - Ersken - during this time as a way to distance himself from his previous life & find something new for himself in what he hoped would become his new home.

Amnesty in the US & continued education (2004 -2006)

By age 21 in 2004, Nathaniel became the youngest accredited necromage in North America, & second youngest in history. His accreditation is denoted by the small opal embedded below his left eye, set within an elaborate, thick black tattoo that marks him visibly as a Necromage & allows him to carry edged metal weaponry both openly & concealed in public transport.Shortly before his ceremony, he applied for a legal change of name, taking the last name of his lead advisor, George Addison Pate, who passed away weeks before his graduation as a tribute to a man who mentored him like the father he barely remembered. Dropping his family's surname was a breath of fresh air.At age 23, Ersken applied for & was granted citizenship in the US based on his ongoing good legal standing as well as his astronomical abilities, demonstrated by his continuing work for the US government in identifying the remains of missing persons & unknown soldiers, as well as victims of various crimes. For his work, & as a measure of protection against him being taken back to Belarus, his location is officially unknown.Unofficially, his work enabled him to buy & convert a warehouse in Seattle, Washington, as well as a private property in on Orcas Island, three hours north of his warehouse.

the community center (2015)

While the psionic community is rather large in & of itself, being a necromage is often a very solitary existence. It’s a rare but much needed talent, meaning those who have high aptitude for it are often spread out thinly. After a very isolating existence growing up, this is something that’s always bothered Ersken to some degree or another, so the idea of having something to bring the community together had occupied the back of his mind for some time after he graduated & earned his accreditation tat.Seattle, while a large city with a significant psionic & supernatural population, had lacked a central hub for the community. When the business occupying the space next to his warehouse closed its doors & the space went up for sale due to the construction of a newer, larger capacity parking garage nearby, he put in an offer & spent the next year renovating the space. The end result was a space certified as LEED gold for its sustainable environmental design, with a small green house, a kitchen, meeting room, art studio, & wifi that opened its doors during the Spring of 2015 .The goal of the center was to bring together the scattered psionic & supernatural populations, giving them a space to just exist, something that outside of the center sometimes proves hard. Initially, there was a small quarterly fee that could be waived on a need-based basis, but as the center started taking off & people began to take notice of it, donations have since made the fee obsolete . Programs are held by community members, many of them to bolster various skills psionics might struggle with - such as those pertaining to a dirt or earth witch tradition (gardening, plant identification, kitchen-witchery) & literacy in ancient runes - but they range to more mundane things such as art & even small cooking classes have been hosted.

adding the community garden & forming his nonprofit (2017)

After two years of success, the community center expanded with the addition of a community garden that broke ground in 2017. the garden is located half a mile away. The one-and-a-half acre plot of land is tucked behind a row of tall trees up against Seattle’s busy interstate 5, & contains roughly one-hundred plots maintained by the community centers’ members. It is also home to a children's garden, chicken coop, outdoor kitchen, & fruit tree orchard, all of which are additionally maintained by community residents.The primary goal of the community garden is to share importance of sustainable agriculture, nutrition, & cultural connections to food, as well as provide a safe space for local hedgewitches to practice & teach. The garden was a success, with the only change being an additional area added with raised beds for gardeners & community members who found maintaining their plots was more accessible while standing.Both the community center & the gardens are part of the non-profit organization, INTERCONNECTDECK, formed by Ersken to manage & oversee the centers’ interest but also to become a jumping off point for other similar projects within the neighborhood.- note: the entire garden is based on the Danny Woo community gardens in Seattle, occupying the same space, etc. It’s the largest green space in the chinatown/international district & Little Saigon area, & a key part of the residential area. The website states it’s an essential place for the surrounding community to engage with nature, access safe and healthy food, and build cohesion with neighbors.

important notes. born in hawaii, jules grew up on oahu's north shore & spent most of her childhood more in the water than out of it. when she wasn't riding the waves almost every day, she spent all her time in her mom's glass studio. with two parents deeply entrenched in the arts, jules grew up surrounded by more creativity than she knew what to do with. with a love for the ocean, she naturally gravitated towards recreating the complex underwater worlds she saw in her art.
sculpture became her go to medium, & when she wasn't riding the waves, she was crafting vast coral recreations, though her true passion was surfing. she had her hopes pinned on competing professionally one day, & all of her hopes, time, & energy went into that.
everything was going well, right up until what was supposed to be a fun day on the waves turned into a nightmare. out with her family, jules lost control of her board at the wrong moment & went under. anywhere else, she would have been fine, but she landed headfirst on a rocky underwater outcropping.the impact was severe enough she had to be rushed to the hospital. when she woke up, she found that the damage was moderate-- & lasting. a traumatic brain injury to the broca's area of her brian, resulting in Broca's Aphasia. she hasn't been back in the water since.Jules graduated from high school with a change in focus. the art she had always considered a bit of a backburner hobby became her all- encompassing focus, & she applied to various art programs everywhere from relatively nearby art schools in california to far flung possibilities on the east coast, all so she could get away from the guilt but also the life plans she hadn't quite learned how to come to terms with losing.now jules works as a sculptor in New York City while still taking classes to help expand her artistic talents while she hasn't been in the water since her accident, she has begrudgingly acquired a large aquarium she's filled with her own underwater sculptures & turned into a small living reef in her home for her rescue fish, fuckass.muse has no additional verses at this time.

important notes. Fifteen years ago, all of the adults in rural Rustbridge - a town only accessible by two dirt roads - disappeared overnight without a trace. When the authorities started investigating the disappearance, something even stranger came to light - all of the children bore a strange mark (a Clover) - seemingly tattooed into their skin. The clovers ranged from 1-4 leaves, with single leaf clovers being the most prevalent.The military was brought in to study the children, & soon it became apparent - those with Clover marks were uniquely gifted, ranging in ability from light projection to telekinsesis.Evie was one of the last children set to be tested along with her twin brother, but when a skirmish broke out in the testing ward, an officer in the investigating unit spirited Evie away before the depth of her mark - a unique 4-Leaf design - could be tested.Within 24 hours of testing, the other children simply disappeared & the town was left largely abandoned. It's rumored that eventually the 1 & 2-Leaf Clovers were released, but she's never heard even a whisper about the others.Now living on the Lost Coast of California's Humboldt county, Evie is working her way through an English degree & she's looking for answers - what happened in Rustbridge fifteen years ago? What happened to her mother, & all of the other kids who were sent away for testing? Maybe most importantly, why were all of them marked?

current connections with evie piaf

lore

  • The officer who spirited Evie away was her uncle Eliott, who had maneuvered himself onto the investigating team to discover what had happened to his sister. On learning that the children were to be kept for further testing & transferred to Black Sites, he took his niece & went AWOL.

  • Rustbridge is based on the real city, Jarbridge

  • Demonstrations of Clover powers include teleportation and summoning weapons from thin air.

  • 1-leaf Clovers possess a single, passive ability - one of the town's children knowing the exact moment & method of her own death being an example.

  • There was only three 3-leaf, & one 4-Leaf recorded at the time of the event.

  • Clovers are largely sterile - something Evie isn't aware of yet, but that may end up holding true for her. Only time can tell on this one.

  • As a high ranking Clover, Evie's Clover abilities are multiple & varied. The one she values the most is her ability to heal people. She usually manifests this by making them food or knitting them things that impart those healing properties (a mug of tea for internal pain or ailment, knit gloves for arthritis in someone's hands as examples).

headcanons in holding

  • Evie is Quaker, like her mother.

  • Attending Humboldt State with a degree in English (& a minor in French that she's accumulated entirely by accident because she just kept... taking the classes.) Her favorite poets are Emily Dickinson & Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

  • She's a part of the Shelter Cove Arts and Recreation Foundation (SCARF)'s Lost Coast Quilt Guild. Her mom used to quilt when Evie was young, so it's something that helps her feel close to her.
