Character Profile Tag!

It's been a while since I've done one of these, and I really like this tag, so I'm gonna make a few lol.

Let's go with Adahm Ryker from Scrapyard Boys for this one!!! <3

Full Name: Adahm Tiberius Ryker

Kind of Being: Human (Mutant Variant)

Age: Presumably 19 years old, has no birth certificate and has a snake-like biology so the details of how he ages are unclear but he is around that age physically.

Sex: Male

Appearance: Adahm is very tall and lanky, with warm white skin that is slightly sun tanned but without any freckles. His eyes are a piercing light yelloish green, almost neon, hue which look distinctively like the eyes of a snake. He has very long light brown hair that he usually keeps loose, brushed to one side, or tied in a messy ponytail. Adahm's smile usually appears normal if not for the fact that his teeth are generally sharper than that of a 'regular human' and that he has two, pointy snake fangs - like a reptilian vampire. A fun detail is that he can stretch and detach his jaw like a snake would and it makes for a devastating biting force. Adahm usually wears black clothes, with a dark - kevlar reinforced - jacket, black or dark grey button up shirts, dark denim pants and black leather combat boots, as well as fingerless grey gloves.

Occupation: Serial Killer (of corrupt people), Vigilante, Rebel

Family Members:

Taylen Ryker: adoptive younger brother, ward

Charles Zarin: childhood best friend (deceased)

Unnamed Parents

Pets: No pets

Best friends: Jax Strobber (they/them), Sasha Valentine (she/her), Gwyn Whitewood (she/her)

Describe his/her room: Adahm's room is spacious and meticulously organized/clean. It's on the smaller side, so as not to take up too much space in their safehouse, but comfortable. His bedsheets are dark grey with some black details, and his bed is usually pristinely made, and there's a light blue sleep mask usually tossed onto it. The room often has a light citrusy smell due to air freshners he buys, and there's a small study desk/work desk by the reinforced glass window where he does most of the planning for his missions. There's a holographic picture of him and Taylen on the edge of that same desk. In his wardrobe, he keeps his clothes - which are usually all in dark tones of black, grey and blue - and his vast collection of guns (ranging from pistols to precision rifles and one small machine gun) and knives (his preferred weapon, usually sharp daggers, common knifes and a few thin swords, as well as a pocket swiftblade);

Way of speaking: Faint (fictional) english accent. He is usually soft spoken, to the point he can sound like a hissing snake when he is speaking specially sharply, but almost always has a dangerous lilt to is voice that commands a certain amount of fear and respect from those around him. His way of speaking changes drastically when he's talking to Taylen - whenever he is addressing his brother, Adahm sounds genuinely kinder, more excited and gentle than he ever would have sounded while speaking to anyone else.

Physical characteristics (posture, gestures, attitude):

Towards strangers: Cold, snake-like, moving swiftly from spot to spot almost imperceptively, confident, scarily so. He usually has a wild/feral attitude to him, despite his calculated behaviors and emotionless persona, having a wild animal's unpredictability and deadliness to him. He has a sharp, imposing smile that usually sends chills down people's spines, and his eyes can be disturbingly cold and unemotional, though they do show a strong glint of enjoyment whenever he is inebriated by the thrill of a kill.

Towards Taylen: When around his little brother Adahm becomes an almost completely different person, being genuinely warmer/gentler, patience, easily excited about different topics and doting. The shift in his usually murderous outer personality he shows the world to his kind, protective older brother personality that is reserved for Taylen alone, can be jarring for those who don't know him well, but Adahm himself doesn't seem to realize that.

Items in his/her back pocket/ purse: Extra poison vials, combat daggers, ammo, climbing gear and spy gear, commlinks, his phone, an extra jacket or coat (he's ectothermic due to his snake biology and sensitive to temperature changes, especially cold weather) and snacks, preferrably dry ones.

Favorite sports: Swordfighting, Boxing, Climbing/Parkour, Swimming

Powers: Snake Biology, Venom/Poison Manipulation & Generation, Shadow Movement, Enhanced Senses/Speed

Relationships (how he/she is with other people):

When he knows the person: quiet, funny, attentive, kind, protective, easily excited, happy, and genuine

When he does not know the person: cunning, manipulative, sociopathic (he does suffer from sociopathy but it becomes much more clear when he's dealing with strangers, especially enemies), murderous, dangerous, sadistic, cold and unpredictable.

Fears: Losing a loved one again or being unable to protect them (especially Taylen), actually being a 'freak' or unworthy of love, being forced to comply by arbitrary rules, being weak, being touched without consent

Faults: Emotionally detached from strangers, murderous, ruthless, vindictive, blunt/unkind, vicious/bloodthirsty, tendency to tunnel vision, bad at reading people and especially stunted at emotional cues (of people he doesn't know)

Good Points: Kind, genuinely cares about those around him, has a good sense of humour, protective, loyal to a fault, deadly smart, loves his brother more than anything and is a good guardian even though he doesn't know how to parent, rebellious and free spirited

What he/she wants more than anything else: Justice, Revenge, being able to keep Taylen safe, and being worthy of respect/genuine love with no strings attached.

Guess the OC Tag!

Okay so I had this tag game idea and I don't know if it has been made before so here we go!

Rules: Make a list of facts about a certain OC but don't name them in it, then make a poll with your OCs from that WIP so people can vote and guess which character you're talking about!

Make a guess:

....this character once has killed more than 50 people in a single event

....this character has control over both destruction/decomposition and creation/recomposition

....this character was once an idealist but then was forced to watch someone he loved dearly be driven insane in one of themost brutal ways possible

....this character hates the taste of strawberry candy and his favorite desserts are chocolate eclairs

....this character has escaped from a high security prison multiple times and his powers grow even faster in isolation

....this character had a change of heart after making friends for the first time in years

....this character has died and been brought to life, as well as pulled apart and stitched back together at least three times in his past

....this character cannot sleep in complete darkness

....this character doesn't know how to use a microwave

....this character drives a black (and bulletproof) sports hovercar

....this character is afraid of moths

....this character has cut off the head of one of his enemies and mailed it as a christmas "gift" to said enemy's spouse

....this character had an older brother named Jason and a little sister named Daisy

....this character was betrayed by a mentor figure

....this character's M.O of killing people is to make it a game

....this character's frenemy/rival has electricity powers

Writing Share Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @kaylinalexanderbooks!!! I'll go with a scene from the Ch.1 of Scrapyard Boys, Adahm's POV.

Sinew and bone crunched under his fist as it connected to the soldier's face throwing the man across the room, nose split, blood coating the floor making it slick. Adahm chuckled, shaking his fist off the impact and watching the man crush the furniture behind him - he could hear the others, footsteps stomping on the stairs just outside, guns cocking. But he didn't rush - oh, no, no, no.

Adahm took his time.

Twirling his dagger for a moment, he slowly crept closer to the fallen merc, stepping over the dismembered body of his previous victim. The man didn't look so menacing now that he was scrambling back, limbs flaying over the broken chips of wood that once were the hotel's bedside table. "N-no, no! Please," The merc begged, his back hitting the wall - the gun in his hand clicked pathetically, no bullets left to shoot, "Look. We…we can settle on somethin'! I'll leave, you can get all the m-money from the bounty, 5 million dollars, all yours." He saw the man smile anxiously, trying to bargain, "Y-you don't have to kill me!"

Adahm didn't stop, his boots breaking the shattered bits of glass on the floor as he continued to stalk closer, his face unreadable except for his emotionless smile. The soldier had nowhere to go, his stupid decision to come after them had sealed that fate. He could still hear the other soldiers getting closer and closer as he crouched over this one, tracing the side of the man's cheekbone with his dagger, a feather-like touch.

"I don't want the money," Adahm said, voice a honeyed, but almost disembodied whisper, tilting his own head as the man flinched away from the tip of his knife, "That's not the issue. It never was. The problem is that you and your crew are looking for someone who doesn't belong to you. I know you work for the labs - I know they paid you to take my brother from me, didn't they? To cut him up, chop him up like a little guinea pig for Vhoss' studies."

The merch shuddered, shaking his head vehemently while the words fell dead on his lips, scrambling to try and deny the question, but the truth was undeniable. Adahm scoffed, his eyes scanning the man's struggle almost pityingly, before his grip on his knife tightened, "See? There you have it. And you know that I just can't let that happen," The young man's voice was a bitter chuckle, leveling his knife for the man's neck, almost sounding disappointed, "You never should've come after him."

Before the merc could react, Adahm plunged the dagger into the man's throat, silencing his pleas as he twisted the blade up into his skull, before stabbing the limp body again, again and again. Once he was satisfied, he leaned forward onto the blade, catching his breath in ragged gasps before he ripped the knife off the man's shredded chest and stumbled into his feet.

His ears twitched towards the sounds - the soldiers were in the hallway now, almost behind him. He ran a bloodstained hand through his long strands of hair, pushing it out of his face as he turned to the door, standing behind it like a haunted house animatronic. and started counting.

1 second. The men moved closer, their movements calculated - he could hear the clinking of their rifles against kevlar suits that wouldn't save them now - he chuckled. 2 seconds - they stopped somewhere down the hallway, their captain barking orders, and Adahm's smile widened, revealing bloodied fangs, his thin mouth a snake's maw. 3 seconds - and as they moved into the room, his shrill, snake like hiss was the last thing any of those mercenaries would ever hear as he pounced in for the kill.

Last Line Tag

Thanks yo @winterandwords for the tag! Rules are simple: Post the last line(s) you wrote!

Gently passing to @maiemorrae, @theprissythumbelina, @words-after-midnight, @anyablackwood, @dragonprincedawn , @satohqbanana 💜 Open tag as always though!

Diacaius: Well, I’m glad we could waste this time together, Inquisitor — but you have two of the most powerful Demons I’ve ever met on the loose in this city and they could shapeshift to look like anyone. I think it’s time for you to get back to work.

Zalathiel: I agree.

Diacaius: And remember the next time you want to call my colleagues “vapid and infatuated with me” that YOU wasted precious minutes you could have spent hunting these actual Demons playing pretend with me.

Huh, this is my reminder that Zalathiel needs new sprite art cuz all I have for him is his intro-page. So for consistency, here's that for both of them:

Thanks and hope all y'all projects are going well 💜💜💜

OC in fifteen

I was tagged by @oh-no-another-idea here and I'm sure by a few others but I'm so scatterbrained these days that I've lost the posts 😭😭 So thanks to anyone else who has tagged me too!

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

My initial thought was to do this for Fay and then I was like naaahhhh that's too predictable but, uh, now I have Fay brainworms, so, yeah. Fay it is! These lines will come from AASOAF 1-3!

“I will admit, I never like it when you appear.” She said with a frown as she peeled an orange, “It’s never for a good reason.”

“Careful now. The devil lurks closely and has sharp ears.” She warned before sitting down. 

“FULL SAIL AND HAUL WIND, YOU BILGE SUCKERS!” I boomed across the decks to the rest of the crew.

“Come kiss me, you fool.” I commanded him.

“Get the fuck away from me.” I hissed.

“And you, come with me. You’ve wasted enough of my time. We’re doing this my way now.” She commanded as she walked past me.

“I survived.”

“You and me. You and me. Youandme, Youandme, Youandmeyouandmeyouandme…”

“I never forget anything…” I licked my lips. “My lord.”

“If I am all that is left no one can hurt me.” She whispered, clutching my tunic tighter. 

“Don’t get cute.”

“I’ll kill the first man to put an oar into this sea.”

I let out a wry laugh. “My gods, you’re really delusional, aren’t you?”

Fay leaned over it and spread her hands eagerly over the map. “Shut your mouth now. The adults are talking.”

“If my pipe goes out, I’ll smoke that tobacco from your innards. Entrails are about the right size for it.”

Don’t forget to visit others in the village and support them, too!

Hope to see you guys around the village!

I LIVE!!!! FUCK that hurricane fr

I feel like there’s needs to be, like, handbook for authors who post on Ao3 for effective metatext.

By metatext I mean like tagging, summary, and authors notes (especially initial authors notes at the beginning of a fic). The means by which we communicate to our readers what they’re getting into.

Because we kind of all have to learn it by osmosis and there are conventions but nobody’s really taught them at the start, so there’s inconsistencies and misunderstandings or people just not knowing things through no fault of their own.

This ends up breeding frustration and confusion and in the worst cases resentment, hurt, and aggression.

I’m severely tempted to make such a handbook and get it circulating.

I think it would do fandom a lot of good.

In the midst of another NaNoWriMo controversy, I'm going to take a second to recommend TrackBear (https://trackbear.app/) to anyone looking for a new way to track their writing.

You can have multiple WIPs going at once that can all count towards the same goal, or you can make it so only select WIPs can count towards a goal.

You can have "Habits" or "Goals." A goal is 50k in a month, and a habit is 1667 for 30 days.

It also has a leaderboard for you and any friends that you are writing with.

I've enjoyed it a lot these past couple of months, and I find it a fantastic (and a better) alternative to NaNoWriMo's word tracker.

SERAPHINA

MEGUMI

AVEN

Gently tagging: @the-down-upside-finch, @nailamoonsi, @anoelleart, and anyone else who wants in!

Most Likely Tag

Thanks for the tag, @pandoras-comment-box!

Who's most likely to adopt a racoon/crow/skunk/fox/miscellaneous local wildlife for a pet? (Please tell the class how badly it would go. Please!)

Megumi would be the most likely SUCCESSFUL adopter, seeing as she can speak to animals and spends a lot of her free time with them anyway. But that's no fun, so Claire or Sora would probably be the next runners-up, with Claire's being the most disastrous.

Claire would be found in her room, fist-fighting a raccoon she tried to sneak into the cabin at 3 am. They'd become mortal enemies, and the raccoon would spend its time menacing her despite also refusing to leave (magic probably doesn't work on raccoons).

A total wildcard would be Adrasteia. If certain conditions are met, I'd imagine she'd find herself enchanted by an ugly, evil little possum or mole rat or something, and she'd immediately decide it's hers. The whole palace would be forced to deal with an aggressive little demon creature in a pink sweater, because if anything happened to it their heads would be next.

Most likely to verbally eviscerate someone for something petty.

Iris or Adrasteia. It's a toss-up between that and them just stabbing you, though.

Most likely to go viral unintentionally.

Luna or Claire, if they had internet in their world. For OCs in a world WITH social media, I don't know, lol. A lot of my characters are walking disasters, so any of them could easily do something that ends up being caught on camera and uploaded. Luna and Claire are expressly from a comedy though, so they're at the top of the list.

If I had to go with anyone, I guess Sora? She's the most openly impulsive/accidentally destructive, so I could imagine that would be worth putting on TikTok or something, lol.

This was fun! Here are mine for you!

Most likely to crash a car

Most likely to get caught in a "this isn't what it looks like!" situation

Most likely to become a fashion icon

Gently tagging: @mysticstarlightduck, @owlsandwich, @dragonfelling, and anyone else who wants in!

16 Sentence Writing Tag

Left this buried in my to-dos for ages, but it's finally here lol. Thanks @rivenantiqnerd for the tag! Gonna use a snippet I was working on from class. Keep in mind it's MINIMALLY edited!!!! But I'm trying to unlearn being embarrassed about my writing, so here it is!

At 22, many would have expected Diana to not only be wed, but to have children of her own to worry after. It would be no challenge for her to find herself a suitor, if she so pleased; out of all of the Blackwood daughters, Diana took after their mother the most. The long dark hair, slender frame, and eyes darker than shadows were all the kind donations of their shared blood. Diana’s features were a touch less severe; with softer cheekbones and a marginally brighter complexion, these differences were to her credit more than anything else. Mother had always been more on the sickly end of attractiveness, and while Diana was certainly pale, it was closer to "powdered" than "deathly".

But if Diana herself had any interest or even awareness of her age and diminishing marriageable appeal, she didn't acknowledge it. Evelyn often remarked that Diana might just be aiming for a station as a governess, though she didn't seem to hold much interest in others' children, either.

It was just as well, in Hope's eyes. Evelyn was lovely, but she wasn't the most reliable, and Mother needed all the help she could get, with so many children in one home. Marriage also didn't hold much appeal to Hope herself; had it not been the way of things, she would've chosen to become an explorer, or a professor of some kind. Men weren't much more interesting than marriage, either, not as far as companionship went. They were a curious group, foreign as they were to Hope, who hadn't the opportunity to make the acquaintance of any of them, but ultimately a boring subject. There were plenty of things that were far more curious to her; for instance, the strange nature of fungi, or the process of decomposition in various organic bodies, or the etymology of language.

In the worst case scenario, in which none of the other Blackwood daughters managed to leave maidenhood, Evelyn would marry an equally starry-eyed, wealthy and handsome man, and the rest of the family would live quietly off of the humble monthly allowance they would be kind enough to send them, for however long they would live.

16-ish sentences. Hope you liked!

Find Five Lines

Late thanks to @kaylinalexanderbooks for the tag! This is kind of a cheat, since a lot of these need context around them so they're longer than 1 line, lmao. But whatever!

Rules: Find 5 lines that fit the prompts, then change 1 for whoever you tag

A line with movement

Glancing at the clock, she had about 5 minutes before it was time to eat, and it took about 10 to get there from her room. That plus how long it’d take to buy food… she’d have run if it wouldn’t have exerted too much energy. As it was, she moved at a respectable speed-walking pace.

A line with fear

Her breathing turned quick and shallow, and she fought to regulate it. She lost that battle once her opponent had made their appearance.

A funny line

The scream building in Iris’ chest was taking everything in her power to hold back. “Luna. Did you. Attack. The crown. Prince.”

A line with color

“You seem… familiar.” Ah, shit. Was he gonna sue?! Before she could cook up a proper lie, his eyes widened in recognition. “Blueberry.” “Huh?” “You’re the blueberry-haired girl. The little demon from the fountain.” If she wasn’t afraid of getting kicked out of the library or even hanged, she’d have screeched at that. Blueberry?! Her hair was cobalt! Cobalt! Maybe even cornflower in certain lighting! “Fuck you,” was out of her mouth before she had the sense to shut up.

A line you've changed a lot

The naginata had yet to forsake her, and so it would be at her side as she stood before the doors of death.

For you: A line with movement, a line with fear, a funny line, a line with color, and a line you LOVE

Aven groaned. “Why do people always have to die whenever I have plans?”
