Last Line Tag ❄

Thanks for tagging me @spiced-wine-fic!

Here's my last few lines, from OCW:

Blood. That was the first priority. What to do about all this blood? 

I'm tagging (no pressure!): @sam-glade, @mysticstarlightduck, @writernopal, @moonluringfrost, @elshells

For Xarian:

face: Describe your OC's face. What's their smile like? Are their orbs cerulean? What would someone notice first when looking at them?

stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

Thank you so much for the Ask, @clairelsonao3!

(From the OC Character Design Ask Game)

face: Describe your OC's face. What's their smile like? Are their orbs cerulean? What would someone notice first when looking at them?

Xarian has a thin and angular face, pale but tanned, slightly sharp, though there are dark circles under his eyes. His bright hazel eyes are mysterious, the tell-tale sign of someone trying not to give away anything about himself, except when he is looking at Lorelai, the love of his life - then his cold eyes turn warm, filled with endless devotion.

He is rather handsome, and he knows it. Xarian has different smiles, for different situations, usually a sly smirk or a quick taken-aback chuckle, but his genuine smile is unique - soft and radiant, truly joyful, a rare glimpse of the person he used to be, once.

The first thing someone would notice about Xarian, especially if under the right lighting, is that his hair has a slight metallic glint to it, making the curls atop of his head genuinely look like an actual mix of real silver and copper. This is due to the kind of faery he is, and his changeling nature.

stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

Xarian is thin and lanky, though muscular, and is a rather tall person. His clothing is usually meant for practicality, as Xarian doesn't really care about how he looks as long as he is moderately put together, though his leather boots make him look slightly taller than he already is.

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, or clumsy?

Xarian moves stealthily, extremely coordinated. He is the kind of person that no one notices when he enters the room due to how quiet he is unless he wants to be noticed, and he is also very flexible and fast when he needs to be. As mentioned before, his clothes are meant to be practical, which includes allowing him a free range of motion and freedom, he dislikes clothes that make him feel trapped or uncomfortable.

Synopsis

The violent war between humans and mythical creatures is over, it has been for over a century, and human society has adjusted to welcome those they shunned for so long. Magic is no longer outlawed, and the world has thrived and progressed over the years, coming into a golden age like none seen before. But beneath the surface, all is not what it seems - as their world grew, so did the inequality within it. Though peace has been achieved, in the bustling grim streets and daily lives of the capital city, the war remains - silent and changed to exist under the gaze of all, but it is there, seeping through the cracks of a barely resolved conflict, mixing with growing prejudice. And from those cracks, rose those who would see this budding, frail balance between nations crumble. Beneath their city's perfect surface, a cruel secret society aims to undo all that has been achieved, fueling the populace's prejudice for one another and slowly taking control of the city's political landscape, looking to profit from the start of another conflict, despite the unending efforts the land's diplomats. To prevent this underground scheme from causing another war between humans and myths, it is now up to a group of city-bound misfits caught in the crossfires to investigate a centuries-old conspiracy and defeat the well-hidden Hemlock Society, hopefully in time to maintain their land's hard-earned peace.

With their city trapped in a careful political dance between good and evil, can these misfits defeat the shadows of their own past when it comes knocking down their door?

I will be participating in event, Winter Nano with this WIP!

OC vs A Cockroach

Oh! Now THIS is fun! Thank you for the tag, @mysticstarlightduck!

Gently tagging: @desastreus, @a-had-matter, @prismo-pelican, @firesmokeandashes, @susurrus-mxfluffy, @alhyastarain

Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach

For this one, I'll be using characters from Woes and Whimsy. Since it's still relatively small, I'll just use every named character (minus the big bad).

Percival Elpida, the Swordless Swordsman - 10/10 He can sense the roach's movement from a mile away and crush it before it can even get close to him. It's just that he doesn't really care. He has a revenge plot that he needs to finish.

Agori - 10???/10 The kid would just. Befriend it. No problem. It wouldn't even take that long before they start having tea parties together. Go to the park. Ride the swings. Go on the merry go round. All until the cockroach suddenly dies, where he would hold a funeral by himself.

Fysi Agapaei Se - 4/10 She's a friend of nature, but still, that doesn't make it easier for her to deal with the cockroach. She'll try to politely ask it to leave her alone, but since it's an insect, she'll probably end up accidentally waterboarding it.

Fanos Agapaei Se - 9/10 On the other hand, he wouldn't really mind. He'll just pick it up with his bare hands and set the dude free.

Nothrotita III - 3/10 BURN IT, BURN IT AWAY. OH GOD. OH GOD OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK

Orgi II - 5/10 Burns it immediately. If it even dares to touch his skin he will spend the next 17 hours bathing it away.

Lagneia - 4/10 Similarly to Orgi, except she doesn't have fire magic, so she'll either waterboard it or spend at least 10 minutes trying to crush it with her flails.

Yeperifaneia - 11/10 Give him 2 seconds. It's like the cockroach never existed.
