OOC PREFERENCES:
β’CONTACT METHOD: itsabee on discord | PM
β’THREAD-JACKING: Fine, unless marked private.
β’FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: She's an OC, so unlikely.
β’BACKTAGGING: Yes.
β’AVOIDED TOPICS:
TL;DR I don't like NPCing bigots. Text does not trigger or squick me, but I don't find it enjoyable to engage with external racism and homophobia (/other forms of hate). If it's appropriate to the setting, I'd prefer it be kept to an absolute minimum and then to move on. I mind it less when it's an internalized thing a character is dealing with.β’PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: They/them
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
β’CURRENT CANON POINT: Murdered by her cousin, Haran.
β’PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
CLOTHES: Wardrobe: Looks like a woods witch. Burnt earthy colors, layers, mismatching prints and textures, loose structures. Utilitarian boots, belts, pouches, etc.β’MAGICAL DESCRIPTION: Primarily her magical presence is disgusting. Dark, damp, and thorny. At her very center there is a very different spark of magic; faerie spark made of stardust and white-burning flame. These two aspects struggle against one another for dominance over her.
SPECIES: Human
GENDER: Female
AGE:252627
HEIGHT: 5'4"
BUILD: Sporty
HAIR: Brown, long, full.
EYES: Big dark eyes.
VOICE: Speaks English, has the softest of folksy twangs but her accent is otherwise more gramatically proper in word choice and stressed in cadence.
β’DEMEANOR: Sour, bitter, suspicious.
β’ABILITIES: Hey, please go visit her app for the full details: TLV Application | Abilities/Powers
β’MEDICAL INFORMATION: She's fine.
β’CABIN INFORMATION: Cabin. Door.
β’OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Don't insult her family. Only she can do that.
IC PERMISSIONS:
β’MENTAL: You need to talk to me first. She will retaliate.
β’MIMICRY: They can, but she might take out your tongue or eyes after.
β’VIOLENCE: Yes, you can. Be mindful of the state of her abilities for potential repercussions, she's not passive.
β’DEATH: Discuss this with me. I'm probably game! Please demonstrate a good IC=/=OOC divide and do not rush in to tell me that your character is going to murder mine. It's a collaborative storyline between us OOC, as players.β’MAGIC: You need to talk to me first, she does have some warding.
β’DEBATE: You can, I don't promise she'll be interested.
β’OTHER / NOTES:
β Please don't feel constrained by the fields on the forms, we can discuss and plan about anything you want to.
π True Namesπ One of a witch's greatest powers is to turn your name against you. Give a witch your full, true name and she has the secret key past your innate defenses. It makes targets [much more] open to her magical attacks, where they may have otherwise defended themselves with will power or their own spells. (Open to compromise for what's fun.)
π Reading someone's name is not the same as being told it verbally by the person themselves.
π She has a sense when someone is not giving her their real or complete name.
π It is 100% cool with me to game this OOC knowledge and plan accordingly. Lots of people have nicknames/don't give their full names π€·ββοΈ
π I won't use the power someone's name gives her without asking, but I do need to keep track of whose she has.
True Name Form
πͺ» Faerie Nonsenseπͺ» Qetzi has been fae-kissed. She always smells of flowers. If you are sensitive to glamour, she has a little shifting glow.
πͺ» Qetzi can speak faerie and conduct herself appropriately. It's very flowery and cryptic. π€·ββοΈ
πͺ» Her glamour + her faerie token allows her to evade notice when she wants to (disappear, be forgotten).
πͺ» Her faerie magic generally doesn't work on other fae/fae-touched. (Open to compromise for what's fun.)
Faerie Nonsense Form
no subject
π Character: Cho Gonou
π Real Name: Cho Gonou
π Alias/Nickname: "Cho Hakkai" -- he goes by this almost exclusively and will introduce himself by that name.
π Other: It'll probably be easy for her to find out his real name if she looks around, since many people on the Barge know it and some of them still use it! But he's very unlikely to introduce himself that way.
πͺ» What is the relationship to faeries: It really depends on how "youkai" are categorized on the faerie scale! Saiyuki canon makes it clear that youkai in other countries may look and have powers appropriate to the mythology of that country (one that they encounter from the West has big, bat-like demon wings and the capacity to possess people without their knowledge or consent, for example.) Youkai in Gonou's home country can transform into giant half-spider creatures, manifest scorpion stings, etc. He has a plant-based ability that allows him to control the vine markings on his skin and move them out into the real world to grab others.
So, it's possible that he'd read as some kind of fae-adjacent forest-power-y nonhuman being to her!
πͺ» Would you consider your character able to understand faerie-speak: No
