I have never devoted myself so hard and so fervently to one character in my life. Send help.

Naturally, I have him maxed out in my Chaldea. Grailed Lv. 100, Skills 10/10/10, NP5 and halfway through Bond 10 to 11 with the new Visionary Flames of Chaldea item that lets you uncap max Bond levels. 

I read the Iliad for a literature course back in college (never studied it in high school). I've always thought Achilles was a massive bag of dicks. But he's a fucking bro in Fate/Apocrypha... and he was the first SSR Rider that I pulled, who proceeded to demolish and tank and save my ass in all of the content the game has to offer so far. 

The only thing left is to get the last 60 ATK and HP gold Fous on him. Then he will be complete. My perfect Adonis.

With the arrival of Pride Month, I am trying to prepare covers and/or icons in celebration to decorate my characters. c: So since my character, Russel (FC: Adam W. from Voltron) is shipped with someone who uses Shirogane Takashi (clone version) from the same series, I get to crop him this hover:

In appreciation for his relationship! It makes me very happy for him since Russel came from a volatile situation where he dated someone who treated him horribly. So it is nice having him paired with somebody who loves and appreciates him. <3 I am hoping to see him recover nicely from his sorrowful circumstances.

I have a thing for Gothic literature and it carries into my rp writing / the characters I choose to write.

Mysterious. Cryptic. Vague. Aloof. These are more or less the most common rubrics to caption my usual "type" of character I tend to make. While all of these are fairly accurate and valid, I like to think the muses that stood out the most are the ones that were/are reasonably more nuanced than simply being their initial 'mystique' persona. Following Ecchi's example, I'm going to write a bit of love letter to two of my most 'memorable' characters (because I too have a boomer brain and forget nearly a handful of the characters I've created in my rp career) and explain not just my love for them, but how they've come to influence any new character I may try to create whether directly and/or indirectly.

Feiyan Zheng. Her first incarnation was introduced roughly five years ago on an au avatar site, though she wasn't really actualized and fleshed out until much later in 2018, on a lil site called Dethroned Gods. The site centered around a small percentage of hoomans (2,250,000,000 lmao) being spirited away to a realm of real world mythology and fantasy, where characters are awoken and told that they are more than just human, but demi-god. Feiyan was a straightforward, no-nonsense Chinese woman. A bit too pronounced, a bit too raw, the sort of arrogant person who served everyone better when she could be managed or friendly. She also had a very volatile history, starting with the unfortunate deaths of her American-military adoptive parents. Assuming the role of a child assassin she was "bought" by the Triad gang and worked as a mercenary for the vast remaining of her time before the mass Rapture into the realm of mythos began.

Upon discovering her Norse parentage she also learned that her biological father was Thor, and all the other god-parents were AWOL. She didn't overmuch care about the whereabouts of the gods, as she was mostly concerned with keeping herself alive. She started as a Nobody and turned into a Nightmare, her journey as a character beginning from solitary soldier to becoming a paradigm of tenacity and the strength in solidarity. She climbed the "power ranks" relatively fast and became one of the more dominant demi-gods with her Thor-touched sonic boom abilities (Think 'One For All'). Her most interesting aspect on the site however were the plots that developed overtime, one of which was a crazy pregnancy plot with the most loose cannon on the site (looking @ u karma lmao). Unfortunately the site closed before I could get any more deep in that plot, but the idea of forcing her to wade unfamiliar maternal waters with no real experience in caring for children (let alone other people lmao) was something I was eager to break her character with.

I tried remaking her a couple of times afterwards but honestly? She belongs to that site.

Silvestre Scratch. I used to write a lot of male assholes. I had a type. There was one however that has followed me since 2013, and while every iteration of him was named differently with very contrasting backstories he still always had the same whack-y personality. Read as: electro-swinging stage villain always boundary-pushing to reach new heights of Art, cotton-candy nightmares and terrific (in the old sense) glitter-glitz dreams. No matter his iteration I had advertised him as Cinderella’s other Fairy Godmother; the deal-striking, contract-making Big Bad Voodoo Daddy; the dastardly, heavy-lidded Sandman sent to plague the weary soul. He started as a bastard captain of a pirate crew on a medieval site, and on another fantasy site rotated into the big-top circus as the infamous illusionist/ringleader of a "Pied Piper" abduction plot to harvest souls. His recent iteration was on Endorrain, shaped as an eccentric dollmaker (read as: "reborner") who used the mmovrp game as a means to further explore the boundaries of life and death as a necromancer.

Silvestre is the pinnacle of my "villain" writing. As in, my villains tend to dip in the realm of the nonsensical/dr seuss verbose of timelessness and blurring of the boundaries between reality and fantasy. I treat him as a vehicle to troll other characters, bothering befriending those who seem quite contrary while he's being very contrary himself. Like a Wild Game of poker, he swings back and forth between Affably Evil and Faux Affably Evil as well as the playful Gadfly and malicious Star-Dazzling Troll. He is a muse who I will never be tired of lmao.

TL;DR version:

my females be like-



meanwhile, my males-

I have really been enjoying watching my character, Laurent, get close with a husky currently! It is sweet and extra fun since the husky character belongs to somebody else since he is a shifter. c: We have this cute plot idea going where they become friends and Laurent helps him out. It always makes me happy thinking about it since Laurent's main personal goal is redeeming himself for the sins he has done. Years ago, he committed aggravated manslaughter when his family was killed, it resulted in him becoming a fallen angel. So it is beautiful to watch him try and redeem himself after what happened. Furthermore, I adore seeing him connect with others because I always find him intriguing to have interact. How he reacts to certain people differs and at times, he surprises me with how social he is with some people, but bias towards others.

Another of my boys who have surprised me is Avery, however, for different reasons. While he acts as intended, phlegmatic, introverted and serious, one of my friends has a character that teases him. She is playful and seemingly unaffected by his behaviours and even called him a gentleman! It LOVE their interactions because I get to see how his behaviour can be interpreted differently between people. Similarly, he is somehow managing connections and it is definitely interesting watching him engage with someone who contrasts his serious attitude!

For the first time in a long time, I made a character in a single day and I love him. Compared to my other children, he is sociable and quite sweet. One of the members adored that he actually called their higher up "Sergeant Cross" rather than using his first name. He came from a sad situation with his grandmother being murdered and him running away because his parents wanted him to be apart of who he considered the bad guys. Now he is a cute little errand boy of the good guys who just want to help others.

I adore making wholesome characters like this and already, Eris is quickly climbing the ladder rungs of being among my favourites. When I began plotting his making, I got plots handed to me only to receive more when I finished him. >.> So I guess everybody wants to hang out with my sweet little demon kitty. I even made him a cute little signature that turned out really well!
