WELCOME TO THE HELLSCAPE

18+ OC roleplay blog. Details under the cut.

Introduction

The lines between the self and everything else are so thin...

Ferne/Iris/Komatiite, any pronouns, all honorifics. 18NB

One might just fracture into a thousand pieces that are not quite them, not quite something else.

18+ interactions only. I roleplay directly through Tumblr.

Don't you know that's what happens when an angel falls, my dear, naive thing?

Dark fantasy / romance roleplays are my jam, more specifically when you add a flavor of religion to it. 1-3 paragraph replies are my promise, but if you give me more to work with, chances are I'll give you more back.

We don't just fade away, Swallow, our destruction is not that kind.

YES PLEASE: Religious trauma, repression of all kinds, gore, romance, polyamory, generally queer characters, it gets worse before it gets worse before it gets better, power imbalances

When we are to be destroyed, we go out with a bang.

HARD NO: Pedophilia, bestiality, "on-screen" sexual assault (can be present in a backstory, but not explicit).

Which is why I have to kill you.

NSFW Guidelines

Your sins will consume you one day.

I am perfectly willing to write NSFW, however, I do not have a lot of experience with it, so please be patient.

I am willing to write kink, but I am not very experienced with it, so please bear with me and communicate clearly.

I am definitely willing to write: general monsterfuckery, wing kink, sexual repression

I will NOT write: con/noncon, age play, pet play, piss, shit, and any of the hard nos above.

Anything not on the above lists should be treated as negotiable until stated otherwise.

Characters & Settings

Death is not a kind lord, she is a greedy one.

Links will be added for the in depth description posts of each setting and character when available. All characters are open to relationships with characters of all genders.

She wants to keep what is hers close to her. Haven't you heard all of the myths?

SETTING: REAPINGANGELS

Angels of Death are real, and most of them work in the office to try to make sure everything is accounted for. There is a heirarchy of reapers, topped by the God of Death. Multiple gods are heavily implied in this setting but not necessarily required. True names grant power over a reaper, thus they appeal to nicknaming conventions based on birds.

CHARACTER: OSPREY

He/Him. Quiet, introverted. Doesn't know how to be a person. Definitely a workaholic.

CHARACTER: SHRIKE / SECRETARY (BIRD)

He/Him. Terrified of people. Very good at killing demons. Loves his wife. Polyamory is an option if you take both / She/her. A woman in power who knows what she likes. Her husband, that is - polyamory is an option if you take both.

CHARACTER: CASSOWARY

They/them. Kindness is an active choice. Don't make them regret giving it to you. Bit of a flirt, but can't handle it back.

CHARACTER: KINGFISHER

They/Them. Definition of a gentle giant. A shoulder to cry on, for departed souls and fellow reapers alike. They just want to help

CHARACTER: COCKATIEL

It/its. It knows how to play by the rules. In fact, you will find that it obeyed the rulebook exactly whilst carrying out its master plan to cause problems.

CHARACTER: NIGHTJAR

They/it. They're new to this. It still remembers what it's like to be human. They miss being human.

CHARACTER: TANAGER

Se/ser/syr. Never was human. Never will be. Has to ease people out of a life that never belong to ser.

CHARACTER: SWALLOW

It/its. In charge of overdue souls. Swallow tries very hard to keep the other reapers working on the right thing. Its a lot, for just one reaper to manage.

CHARACTER: MAGPIE

They/them. Keeps reapers' weapons in good shape. Might be attracted to weapons to some degree. Would love to talk to anyone about a good blade.

CHARACTER: ROBIN

Xe/xem. Once a higher ranking reaper, now 'retired' to secretarial work. Xe doesn't talk much, but likes to listen. Xe won't forget a thing.

CHARACTER: GOOSE

She/her. She has high aspirations and an even higher drive... Sometimes. Her goals are lofty, but technically feasible, as long as she sticks to it. She does have every intention to do so...

Don't slanderize her.

ROLEPLAY SCENARIO / SEARCH: THE ANGEL IN A BOX

Basic rules: 18+ only, but NSFW is not necessary. No pedophilia, incest, etc. I only roleplay directly through tumblr.

Summary: OCxOC, any genderxany gender. Your character comes into the possession of an antique box, only to find out an angel of death has been trapped inside and bound to it for decades. Shenanigans ensue

More under the cut

Possible ways of your character obtaining the box: Estate sale, garage sale, inherited heirloom, storage unit auctions, etc,.

Character details: I don't have a particular character in mind for this, asides the general idea of a lower ranking angel of death. I can choose one of my pre existing characters or make one for you!

All characters are adults <3

SHRIKE & SECRETARY - INSEPARABLE PAIR

GENERAL

Name: Shrike | Secretary

True name: Alec Graham | Victoria Graham-Collins

Gender: Male | Female (transgender)

Pronouns: He/him | She/her

Reaper Type: Demon-Hunting | Secretarial

“…” “It's rude to stare, Butcherbird.”

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Physical traits: Shrike is a fairly short, thin humanoid with two sets of eyes on his face and a small ‘crown’ of them floating around his head. He has a pair of glossy black wings that are narrow and built for speed. His hair is short and the same shade of black as his wings, though sadly less glossy. Secretary is a fairly tall, muscular humanoid. She has large, long white wings meant for soaring similar to an albatross. Her hair is shoulder-length and black. She additionally is equipped with sharp, durable claws.

Clothing style: Shrike prefers comfortable clothes that cover most of his body. He typically wears sweaters or hoodies and slacks, as well as his cloak. He only wears his cloak, which is black and embroidered with angular brown branches, on formal occasions. He occasionally wears small earrings. Secretary prefers formal wear, often consisting of a white button up with corsets and dress pants. She also often wears combat boots. She rarely wears earrings, and typically only does so for special events. She uses a cane that is also a decorative scythe.

Notable behaviors: Shrike tends to gravitate towards items and people that he can hide behind. He also has a tendency to slouch. Secretary has inhumanly good posture, on the other hand. On particularly good days for her bad leg, she will walk on her toes.

Reaper weapon: Glaive and Mauser c96 pistol

“Don’t bother Secretary with this, I have a moment to handle it myself.”

PERSONALITY

Personality Summary: Shrike is a very socially nervous and awkward fellow who largely prefers to not be acknowledged. He is also extremely vicious when a situation requires combat, and knows no mercy for enemies of Death. The best way for you to get him to talk is by talking about his wife. Secretary is a very confident and calm woman who greatly prefers working as office management to anything out in the field. She excels at multitasking, and actually much prefers to have multiple tasks on hand.

Behavior in formal settings: Shrike can be present and interact with people if absolutely necessary, but he'd rather be in the fringes of any sort of gathering or meeting. Secretary, meanwhile, commands the formal space with her presence; she seems to know just what to do and say in such situations.

Behavior in informal settings: If sufficiently relaxed, Shrike may be willing to open up to small groups… maybe. Good luck catching Secretary in any type of informal setting, but when she does allow herself the treat, it's often with her arms and wings enveloping Shrike.

Aspirations: Shrike is admittedly quite content with his life at large. Secretary, meanwhile, likes to envision a carefully curated process of death that requires little oversight from management, instead of the many errors that managing once-living souls often incurs.

Fears: Shrike’s greatest fear is losing Secretary in some way - be that separation, permanent death, or otherwise. Secretary likewise fears losing Shrike, but much more specifically, she fears losing him in his line of work.

Likes: Shrike enjoys, more than anything, laying in a cozy bed with weighted blankets. More generally, he is fond of being confined or surrounded. He also has a sadistic fondness for watching people bleed out, especially if they're still impaled upon his glaive. Secretary likes jewelry, despite rarely wearing it - it's something she collects. She is also extremely fond of an organized space, but far less fond of the actual activity of organizing. She doesn't like threatening people - but she prides herself in knowing that she can take most reapers in a fight with relative ease.

Dislikes: Shrike and Secretary both absolutely hate loud noises and bright lights, albeit for slightly different reasons. Shrike doesn't like being acknowledged, and hates when people underestimate Secretary because she's a secretarial reaper. Secretary dislikes weapons in the office

Secretary leaning on her scythe-cane with one hand and pointing her gun at someone with the other, while wearing her typical office outfit of a white button up and black dress pants.... holy shit...

[after-the-show-stops]

I think Secretary should be allowed to press her gun to Shrike's chin for fun. They're already dead, it's fine, they don't need gun safety.

OSPREY - Male Specialist Reaper.

GENERAL

Name: Osprey

True name: Kushiel

Gender: Male

Pronouns: He/him

Reaper Type: Specialist

“Perhaps I would be less hostile if my companion were not in a cage.”

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Physical traits: Osprey’s true form is remniscent of a biblical seraphim, a mass of wings and eyes. He has six pairs of wings of various size, all light grey except for golden feather shafts, each sprouting from a central eye. Floating around his central body he has four additional pairs of eyes. He doesn’t always have limbs, but he is capable of manifesting them as needed. Typically he sticks to merely summoning hands.

Clothing style: Being that he isn’t at all humanoid, he does not typically wear clothes. For important events he may accessorize with chains like necklaces or bracelets along his wings.

Notable behaviors: Unlike specialist reapers that were once human, he will never have hands or additional limbs except for when he is using them. He also will not manifest them in pairs, which is a behavior natural to most specialist reapers.

Reaper weapon: Rapier.

“You were always her favourite, but that means nothing now that you’ve fallen.”

PERSONALITY

Personality Summary: Osprey often keeps to himself when he is not actively working on a task. He isn’t against the idea of socialization, but he does not actively seek it. He is hesitant to get close to anyone because of how much he’s seen, and the inevitable mortality of even most immortals on a long enough timescale. He has difficulty understanding social cues and often appears intimidating, especially towards lower ranking reapers, though he doesn’t always intend to do so. He will not hesitate to kill if it is a task he is given, and he will not question the orders of Death. He trusts her completely, because she is one of the few who had been with him since his creation.

Behavior in formal settings: Osprey excels in formal situations. He is confident and professional, as well as on task.

Behavior in informal settings: …Unfortunately, he’d do the exact same if he were at a bachelor party.

Aspirations: He holds few goals other than to serve his role in the well oiled machine of the process of death.

Fears: His deepest fear is failure. He views himself more as a tool than he does as a person, and he believes that if a tool is not useful, it had aught to be thrown away. The afterlife isn’t for him. He was never alive. If he fails his role, he is certain that he will be recycled into something else that cannot be called himself.

Likes: He enjoys solid evidence of his work, even if that means a corpse. He doesn’t have much of a taste for human food, but he enjoyes the scent of tea. He also appreciates the blade

Dislikes: He isn't fond of parties that are just for the sake of it. He likes formal celebrations, but even then, that's pushing it; he'd prefer to work. He also doesn't like children - mostly because he worries he won't know how to act with a child present.

“To the beloved Lady Death do I dedicate my latest success.”

“Swords like this one were made for self defense… but I am an offensive creature.”

SAMPLES

“I'm just worried... You look like you've been through quite a fright. Where is your family?" That's what you were supposed to ask, right? Humans were stupid. Especially when it came to women. He worked just enough with people to have even more questions than someone who was thrust into the culture without any background at all.
