//Above are the easy-access to Lief/Roleplaying with the lil guy. On top of that, I've provided four routes for you to pick if you'd like! -League Lore is pretty standard and what a few folks already have with him. -Fandomless is for him to engage with others who I haven't created a background for. (You can request I do something to make him fit more for your muse/verse!) -Modern is pretty much the 'No Powers/Real World' verse, considering changing it a bit. -Unbound AU is Lief minus the Undead part. He's a 'normal boy' with weird powers, but also more likely to have normal little-boy problems (getting sick, getting hungry, getting tired, etc.) If you want to interact with this version of Lief, let me know!

Finally! For this pinned post at least, The YT Channel! If you wonder why some days I can be a bundle of replies, responses, energy, and asks, and other days I'm just as undead as my muse, this is why! A joke, of course, but I do pour some of my energy into my recording. If you're wondering about the man behind the muse, that's a good spot to start.

That'll be all from me, hope this helps!

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

Does the baby have an last airbender verse and star wars verse?

//As of the moment, that's a no. I have considered some verses for him, but those were not on my list XP It's hard transferring Lief due to his circumstances since not a lot of universes can have an undead with necromancy blending in so easily. I could try some other stuff, but it might be harder to have it make sense.

That said, I could try and come-up with something on the spot, but again, I know enough surface level stuff to MAYBE have Lief or any of my other muses adapt to those universes, but it likely would have to be a want from a mutual.

That said, I do have a modern au for him where he could likely talk about both those and say what He's hope he'd be in them!

[weapon-turned-jack]

Since Jack and I are having a head empty kinda day, send in an ask. Let it be about a verse, some of my (many) other ocs, little Jack facts, mun facts or just say hello!

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

Legs shook while a few more steps back were taken, mind racing and spiraling while struggling to figure out what to do or say. The tone... it sounded so much like... And every time it is an attempt to get closer just to put him away or get 'help'. Was teacher going to do that too? Was she going to abandon him and leave him behind with someone who can 'help' but the assistance in question was nothing like what he needed? Was he going to be alone again? What does he need to do to be worthy of love again?

A few more steps back before shaking his head. Face twisting with grief, sorrow, frustration, and fear, more steps until his footing was lost. Falling down onto his rear with an 'oof' before his toy was flung from his grip and off to the side. "Ah! Mr. Hops!" A shout of desparation before quickly crawling on hands and knees to grab the toy and squeeze it right to his chest. Face was buried, and body shook while more tears were let out. To calm down, that is what was needed, his emotions were starting to spiral out of control and more magic started to be released, skeletal hands started to rise out around him while quiet sobs could be heard. It seemed like nothing was quite ready to quiet the storm he was going through within.

[valuvaris]

Valeria had been in the presence of some rather evil people and beings before, but none as powerful as Lief, it would seem. She felt fear and it was confusing because she knew the boy was not the kind of person that would hurt another on a whim, he was no killer either. Even so, the power he had was grand and he had yet to learn to control it.

With determination in her gaze, she strengthened the shield spell around him and it began glowing a golden light—which was a stark contrast against the magic he used. Kibbles, who had peaked out from her pocket, quickly went back inside as Valeria continued walking forward with difficulty. "Lief. I am not going anywhere. Do you hear me? We made a promise to each other. I did not and will not forget."

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

It was hard to hear... what did teacher say? It was something about going somewhere? Or... was it something about a promise? A promise... What... what was the promise again? He can't remember...

Shaking his head and squeezing Mr. Hops even tighter, there were more sobs coming from the child. Being reached with just words was going to become increasingly difficult the longer this went on. The hands were now trying to grasp at something, anything, responding to the boy's current emotional state. "Momma... Papa... why no one love me?" Whimpering out while curling up even further. "I no bad boy... so why... why everyone leave me?" More hands continued to spawn but... something in the distance looked like it was starting to approach.

It was not going for Valeria though... it was aiming towards... Lief. Despite being humanoid in shape, it was giving off a sinister aura and for some reason... it's face and body seemed distorted. The only thing was for certain... if it got to the child... he would not be seen again.

[primordialsnow]

The child looked up at his mother and blinked before looking down at the ground. "...Hmmm... B-But... what if bad guys come to hurt us? No wanna lose momma again..." He was gripping the bottom of his shirt as some cold wind began forming around him. "Wanna be strong... Wanna protect mommas and siblings..."

Kolkai could sense the confusion and concern in the boy. She gently sat beside him. “Conflict invites further conflict… hate breeds hate. Most danger can be avoided, you see.” When it seemed appropriate, she reached out to stroke his head reassuringly. “Now, if you feel you must be strong.. if only to protect, then you are welcome to it. But you must promise me that you will only ever strike in reply.”

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

The grip tightened as his mother explained her point of view. Visions of the past flashed and the chilling air started to become just a bit more intense. The pat to his head seemed to bring him back and caused him to look up at Kolkai. The permission given, in some manner, was enough to pacify the child, causing the cold to fade before a nod was given. A hand was brought up and a pinky finger stretched out. "I promise." Expression serious but determined. "I wanna protect momma and-and everyone I love."

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

Shuron stood above both boys before crouching down and lookng at them. '... I'm sorry I can't do more boys... Please... Sleep for now...' The Guildmaster would embrace both of them, tight, hands shaking for a moment while he grit his teeth. Behind him were the constructs of the younger child, looking at him.

Rising up and turning to face them, Shuron would frown. 'I'm sorry I can't do more for them besides hide them here. Please... just stay by their side until this all ends. I have cast a spell to grant them good dreams, but... they will need you both here in case this takes much longer than it should...' Jo went closer to Shuron. "What are you going to do?"

Expression turning cold before pulling off his glasses. '...I'm going to fight. I'm not as strong as my masters, I don't have special blood like Shima or powers like Rainald... but I'm not going to let them fight alone. If Zoran and Aleister are indisposed of as well... then they are going to need me.' "...It's dangerous..." 'I know...'

Jo was given something before the 'door' was opened. 'If... If I don't survive this... if we fail... break what I gave you. My masters will awaken and know what happened... They will protect the boys and fix this.' "How long... before I break this?" '...12 Hours.' Jo gripped the object, hand shaking. "Shuron..." 'Don't...' The man rushed through the portal and it closed behind him with the skeleton reaching out before growling.

"..." The construct went over to his charge. Beast was behind both boys, acting as a sort of cushion for them to lean on while Skull was nestled up to Lief. Jo would sit besides Jack and look towards his master. "Lief... you are going to lose someone else... without being able to do anything, even while you have the power to do so... If I were stronger... if we were stronger... if we knew what was happening... Maybe... maybe it could've been different..." A hand reached over to stroke the child's head.

"At least... at least you are both safe."

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

Light seemed to return to his face when claiming that she would help find his cousin. Looking up at her, eyes filled with hope, before wiping away the tears. "P-Promise?" It was such a quiet little request, a single pinky about to be raised before even more hope was given when she allowed him to stay, possibly for longer. When pointing at her room, a nod was given to show that the instructions, should anything be needed, were understood.

When questioned about if he would be alright, another nod was given. "I be okay. I-I gots my bunny." Sitting down on the floor for a moment and taking off his backpack to put it in front of him. Reaching inside, the stuffed animal was pulled out and then squeezed tight before getting back up and grabbing the backpack. Once more, looking up at her, a smile was given. A quiet thanks to show the appreciate he had for all of this. "Thank you, miss Dez. I-I promise be a good boy!" Declaring such before scurrying over to the sofa.

His travelbag was the first thing put up onto the couch before he would end up climbing on it next. Looking over at Dez, he would wave at her before pushing the backpack towards the arm. Laying with his back against the cushions, the boy curled up with the toy and rests his head on the bag. Eyes slowly begin to close while getting ready to drift off into sleep.

[lachrymosestorm]

Oh.. Well.. she was going to get him a proper pillow and blanket at least.. She blinked a few times before chuckling to herself and making her way to the hallway closet. She got out a spare blanket and pillow and made her way back over to him. She was careful as she adjusted him so the pillow would also be used under his head and she put a blanket over him tucking him in the best she could. She wanted to make sure he was comfortable and could sleep alright. "Goodnight." She whispered to the sleeping child and then made her way to the bathroom. She got ready for bed before moving to her own bedroom. She left the door open a crack in case he'd need anything in the middle of the night and she would sleep lightly just in case.

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

The toy within his arms would seem to... watch, as Dez went about her actions. Lief was already in a deep sleep, it would take more than those small movements of his person to wake him, but... there was a smile that grew once he was tucked in. Mr. Hops would be looking at her, even while she had tucked in the boy but... was his head always turned that way when the child had held it? Also both arms were now resting on Lief's... that must've always been that way right?

It was a long day and it was late, perhaps a trick of the dark or even her mind? Even still, the goodnight caused a small happy noise before the boy seemed to sink even deeper into sleep... and the couch.

The door being open slightly was a good call, though if it would be utilized or not remained to be seen.

For the most part, Lief slept throughout the night without any issue. That little smile even seemed to remain on his face from the moment it grew.

starter for @a-child-turned-monstrosity

Dusk was approaching and the moon had risen.

She had been on her way out of the town's apothecary when she spotted a dark-haired child, seemingly alone. Children were usually home by this time, weren't they? Or at the very least, with their parents or guardian.

Gold and silver-blue irises scanned the thinning crowd for someone to step forward and reveal themselves the child's parent or guardian. She waited for a few minutes outside the shop, but when none stepped forward, she approached the young boy.

"Are you lost, little boy?"

"It will be dark soon. It is not safe for children to be out alone at night."

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

A bunny plush in his arms, a large backpack that did not look anything like what others would be using for school... rather something more akin to survival. From affair... the child looked to be just a lost boy in need of aid... though... something was off. Once the crowds had started to disperse and leave him alone, red eyes would glance around before softly blinking. It almost looked like he was going to reach out to someone and ask for something... but stopped. The scarf he wore would hide more of his face as he let out a little sigh. Before moving on, the child watched the woman approach and flinched when questioned. A step back was taken, the grip on his toy tightened, and much closer now... she could see the stark difference between this child and others. The whites of his eyes were black, the crimson pupils were far darker than they should've been, his skin was pale grey, and despite being on his own... his clothes were not even dirty. "...I no lost..." Pause. "Just no know... where I am..." A slow and soft blink. "Why no safe?"

Help... Help found them.

After what felt like weeks, the skeleton happened upon someone. A man with glasses and a strange attire approached. 'Are ... .. ?' The words did not come out clear... something... something was Ś̸͙̺̥̰̯͙̭͆̏͂T̷̡̧̬̲̭̦̘̩̊̉͛̓̓̌͌̕Ą̵̺̰̻̻͔͇͓̈́̓͛̏̈́͌͋̄̑͆̏Ý̴̥͙̘̇̈́̇̃͒̿́͘͘͝͝ͅ B̶̨̛̺̤̱̾̀́̋̔̆̏̎͘͘Ą̵̺̰̻̻͔͇͓̈́̓͛̏̈́͌͋̄̑͆̏C̴̀͐ͅK̵̢̛̛͉̳̫͔̺̱̗̫̽̉́͋̾́͂͛ still messing with the construct. Approaching the being while reaching out before stumbling. 'He.! Ar. ... o...?! Spe.. t. ..!' "W...What?" A groaned voice came out before the man growled as he caught Jo.

Helping the skeleton to the ground to sit, something was brought out and before... something... could interfere again, everything was dispelled. The weight, the fog around his mind, the cloudiness of his vision... all gone. 'Jo! Jo, can you hear me? Are you alright now? Where are the boys?' The skull would turn towards the man, recognizing him. "...S... Shuron?" 'Jo, please! I need you to focus. Thing have gone horrendously wrong and I am trying to help piece things together, but to do that, I need answers!' "Right...Right..." Pinching the bridge of where his nose would've been, the skeleton would 'stare' at the man. "The boys... the boys are safe, being protected by Skull and Beast... I... I think I have been wondering for aid for... weeks?" 'Weeks?! No... No it has not been that long yet... Grrr.... that THING is causing this... It has been a day, at worst. But that is still not the issue. Please. I need you to bring me to the children. I have a place to keep them safe, but we have to hurry!' Feeling the urgency in his tone, the swordsman got up and shook off his daze. A nod was given and he was off.

Meanwhile.

The two constructs were surrounded by mist... whispers of their past lives haunting them... beckoning them to go away from the two sleeping boys. Beast was trying to remain standing, but her heart was weighing heavy. Skull was whimpering, torn between looking into the mist and back at the boys. They would not last long like this... thankfully... they didn't need to.

'Remove Zone! Mind Enhance! Mental Reformation!' Those three spells removed the mist, the things within it, and helped provide clarity and renewed vigor for the other two constructs. They made it back in time.

[weapon-turned-jack]

Jack would spend the night hiding from the noise of the loud fire works, cured up and covering his ears to try and mitigate the sound.

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

The little brother would come over to help bunker his big brother. Pillows, cushions, a blanket, and his constructs were all built up with Lief going besides Jack and staying with him.

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

"Please don't disappear like that again." Valeria said whilst holding Lief close in a hug.

The child would blink for a moment before frowning and burying his face against his teacher. "I-I sorry!" In truth, it had been so long since he has had a place of his own that some habits still remained with him. It would take a bit before the boy would grow used to telling Valeria where he was going, if those little legs were taking him anywhere.

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

Upon hearing the question, a small nod was given before a bigger yawn came out and he almost sat down on the floor. However, when she had made mention of finding someone he knows, a large frown grew on his face. "...Miss Dez nice... b-but..." There was frustration building up. Had he not told her before? Or maybe... he didn't say it right. "...No one left... No one... a-life anymore... All gone..." Shaking started along with soft sniffles as he grabbed the bottom of his shirt and looks at the ground.

"...Momma... Papa... Elder... Nice neigh-boors... Bad men hurt them all... Bad men hurt them till they no move no more... Till they no wake-up... I... I all alone... Only Hat-Man told me... one family left... b-but... no no where they are... h-he hic he say that it cousin... but no no where find cousin... O-Only say 'Look for white hair and red eyes'... B-But everytime try finding them... get chased away... s-say I bad... c-cause I look different... I promise not a bad boy... J-Just want find cousin... sniff hic" Some tears were starting to flow as the grip tightened and his arms began to shake. A bit of darkness began to pool around his lower body... but seemed... restrained. "C-Can help find cousin? Hat-man s-said... he like me... b-but older a little..."

The only real clues that could be determined was that he was looking for another little boy, with white hair and red eyes. Red eyes was already rare, but white hair on a child? Come to think of it, who was 'Hat Man'? Why wasn't he caring for a youth who just lost, apparently, everything? Yet... on close inspection... none of his clothing was ripped or torn or even any form of damaged in the first place. There was no dirt or grime, on him, there was... also no odor... No odor? No... that wasn't it... it was more like... he had no smell whatsoever. Even the food from earlier did not leave a lingering scent of any kind.

[lachrymosestorm]

This just made things a million times more complicated. She definitely wasn't prepared for this or what the legalities would be.. but she supposed she'd figure things out in the morning. A night should be fine.. She ran a hand through her dark locks and gave a nod of her head. He was clean and he didn't seem like he hadn't eaten for weeks. She exhaled some and then looked at him with a small smile. "Of course. I'll do what I can to help you find your cousin." His cousin should have a family at least.. maybe they could take him in. She smiled some and gave a nod of her head. "In the mean time.. You can stay here for awhile. You can sleep on the sofa and if you need anything.." She pointed to where her bedroom was located down the hall. "That's where I sleep." Of course if this little visit ended up being 'extended' she would turn her make shift art studio into a guest bedroom. She wouldn't make him sleep on the sofa forever if it turned out to be more than a couple of days. "Are you going to be okay if I go get ready for bed myself?"

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

Light seemed to return to his face when claiming that she would help find his cousin. Looking up at her, eyes filled with hope, before wiping away the tears. "P-Promise?" It was such a quiet little request, a single pinky about to be raised before even more hope was given when she allowed him to stay, possibly for longer.

He's so proud of his new hat!

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

Each step of the process to enter her apartment was noted and taken in with quiet awe. Soft blinks were given, and once at her home, he noticed her removing the shoes at the door. Letting go of her hand and sitting on the ground, his own footwear came off and was placed near the door. Once that was done, he would use his hands to help rise back up onto his feet before advancing in a little more.

Small red eyes would look around for a moment before turning back to Dez and waiting until she had come by to show him more of her home. While waiting, a little yawn came out and a hand was brought up to rub his eyes. Seems like with all the moving around as well as having a full belly was enough to make him sluggish and tired.

[lachrymosestorm]

Dez watched him anxiously for a moment. She really didn't know what to do. Her fingers played with her own hair to self-soothe a moment and then she bent down and was eye-level with him. "Are you tired? I can get you ready for sleep." She didn't have clothes for him to change into.. and he'd have to sleep on the sofa but she figured that was better than the outside. "And then tomorrow we can see if we can find someone else you know.. a neighbor perhaps?"

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

Upon hearing the question, a small nod was given before a bigger yawn came out and he almost sat down on the floor. However, when she had made mention of finding someone he knows, a large frown grew on his face. "...Miss Dez nice... b-but..." There was frustration building up. Had he not told her before? Or maybe... he didn't say it right. "...No one left... No one... a-life anymore... All gone..." Shaking started along with soft sniffles as he grabbed the bottom of his shirt and looks at the ground.

"...Momma... Papa... Elder... Nice neigh-boors... Bad men hurt them all... Bad men hurt them till they no move no more... Till they no wake-up... I... I all alone... Only Hat-Man told me... one family left... b-but... no no where they are... h-he hic he say that it cousin... but no no where find cousin... O-Only say 'Look for white hair and red eyes'... B-But everytime try finding them... get chased away... s-say I bad... c-cause I look different... I promise not a bad boy... J-Just want find cousin... sniff hic" Some tears were starting to flow as the grip tightened and his arms began to shake. A bit of darkness began to pool around his lower body... but seemed... restrained. "C-Can help find cousin? Hat-man s-said... he like me... b-but older a little..."

The only real clues that could be determined was that he was looking for another little boy, with white hair and red eyes. Red eyes was already rare, but white hair on a child? Come to think of it, who was 'Hat Man'? Why wasn't he caring for a youth who just lost, apparently, everything? Yet... on close inspection... none of his clothing was ripped or torn or even any form of damaged in the first place. There was no dirt or grime, on him, there was... also no odor... No odor?

Unprompted <3

@a-child-turned-monstrosity sent: The boy had rushed over to his teacher, clutching a small object in his closed hands. Once close enough, he went to show a small butterfly trinket he'd made and offers it. "For-For you! I know you no my momma... but-but you nice like my momma and-and treat me nice so... um... Happy Momma Day, teacher."

Lief's rushed pace startled Valeria as she was standing by the window tending to the small potted plants there. When she saw he was all right, her worry faded. Eyes landed on the gift that was offered, the words uttered by him caught the elf off guard and she did not know how to respond. Instead, she remained silent, lifted the boy, and held him with one arm whilst inspecting the piece for a few seconds before offering a hug "Thank you, Lief."

[a-child-turned-monstrosity]

There was a bit of surprise as he was lifted up into her arm. Small hands careful not to drop the craft he spent so long on. When hugged, a big, bright smile grew as he leans against her for a soft nuzzle. "He he he! I-I glad, Teacher likes it!" Beaming while hugging her back. The child was elated that Valeria seemed to accept the gift and even liked it. It was very hard to make, taking up a majority of his time and quite a bit of magic. His constructs had to lift him to bed many many times before he managed to finally finish it.
