arianne nymeros martell is heiress to the martell family fortune as well as her father’s media & entertainment empire, ‘martell corp’. wickedly smart, savvy and just as sharp-witted, with her mother’s beauty to boot, she is and always has been the apple of her father’s eye. her life is fast-paced, one of affluence & opulence that’s seen her under the media’s scrutinising gaze ever since she was a young girl. having grown up in the limelight, arianne understands the importance of glowing press and a sterling reputation and does her best to keep the more adventurous aspects of her life compartmentalised, behind the closed doors of her home. to the world, she’s undoubtedly the perfect daughter. more than just your stereotypical socialite, arianne is a business graduate with a masters degree in economics. there’s no denying her qualifications to take over her father’s company come his time to step down... which arianne would like to be believe is, or rather, should be any day now. but to keep any rumours of in-fighting, or rising tensions amongst her family in light of a shift in power to a minimum, she plays happy family as if it were an award-winning role and she were up for best actress.

it’s just as she remembers it. a sweet, summer’s eve in sunspear... a burning red painting their dornish sky just as the day’s sunlight died. everything was as it should have been. littler legs carry her toward her father’s chambers, the soft silk of her nightgown trailing just behind her whilst the glow from the candles light inside seemed to her, inviting as ever. she’d planned merely to say goodnight, give him as kiss just as she’d always done but upon reaching the half-opened doors, the sight she’s met with is a vacant one. the lavish room was but untouched... save, for what she could see was a letter, left half-written on doran’s desk. the parchment still smooth, the ink still fresh but entirely forgotten, strewn to the side in what appeared to be a rush. curiosity had always come to arianne much like a vice, an unyielding itch she just had to scratch... and in seeing that not a soul was about, it’s with very little care that she wanders over to inspect the message. whatever excitement she might have felt in gathering such intelligence never meant to have been seen by her however, withers to dread in the pit of her stomach as warm, brown eyes scan the lines. her father’s cursive describing to her younger brother no less that he is to succeed him? quentyn is to be ruling prince of dorne. full, trembling lips fall agape, the letter discarded to the side just as quickly as it’d been picked up in a fit of her mounting anger for, how could her father possibly mean to pass over her? the very thought is cause enough for tears, cascading down her reddened cheeks and as she rises from her slumber... she reaches, in vain, to wipe them away.
arianne is shaken, more than anything. perhaps most of all by just how real it felt. how familiar it was. it was like nothing she’s experienced before... she’s aware of lucid dreaming, of course, and the like but this? it was a lived experience, she’s certain of it. but in fear of sounding crazed, she’s keen to keep it under wraps for now. otherwise, tempted by the allure of researching just when, how & where this could have taken place, only she feels she’s got more pressing issues to worry about than just what... bizarre phenomenons are robbing her of her sleep this week.

asoiaf spoilers ahead : i’ll give a lil rundown on her background & where she’s at asoiaf canon wise because she was , very thankfully in hindsight , excluded from the show entirely meaning she wasn’t ruined by d&d. so... arianne nymeros martell is the only daughter to ruling prince doran martell of dorne and his consort , mellario of norvos. she’s their first child and elder sister to brothers , quentyn and trystane , whom she never had the closest relationships with due to quentyn being sent away to serve as a page and trystane being much younger than her. she’s also the niece of oberyn martell and elia martell ( rip my loves ) and the heiress of sunspear & future ruling princess of dorne. her story goes that when she was young , she discovered a letter from her father to her younger brother , quentyn that suggested doran would name him his heir & future ruling prince of dorne , passing over arianne in the line of succession entirely. the thought haunted her , convinced her father all but hated her and would become an obsession of sorts to her , gripped by the need to prove her father wrong and ensure that his ‘plan’ would never come to pass. there was also a sneaky plot by doran to marry arianne to viserys targaryen which was covered up by forcing elderly suitors upon her that she forcibly declined but eventually , viserys died so , that plan fizzled out. her most notable development was when myrcella baratheon arrived in dorne to wed arianne’s youngest brother , trystane and the two girls took an instant liking to one another. becoming very close friends and during their time together , arianne thought up a plan to make myrcella queen of the seven kingdoms , as according to dornish law , the throne was hers by right. making arianne , the ‘queenmaker’ and whilst this plan did almost come to fruition , it failed due to one of her friends turned co-conspirators having betrayed her. myrcella lost an ear in the scuffle , arianne’s lover at the time and myrcella’s trusted kingsguard , arys oakheart died and as punishment for her actions , arianne was locked away in spear tower by her father. after time spent in isolation there , arianne is eventually called upon by her father as kingsguard are marching on dorne and they need myrcella to lie about what had happened , with only arianne capable of making her do so , arianne confronts doran at long last about the letter to which he explains it was all part of a bigger plan to avenge the deaths of his sister , elia martell & her children, rhaenys and aegon who died at the hands of the lannisters and that she would have been married to viserys and thus , queen of the seven kingdoms , making quentyn doran’s heir. but with the roles having been reversed now , quentyn out in essos trying to marry viserys’ sister , daenerys and arianne still his heir , the father & daughter are united in their plans. but unbeknownst to them , quentyn is already dead and with news of young griff aka maybe aegon targaryen having survived , sailing towards westeros , arianne is sent to receive them in the stormlands and find out the truth behind the boy claiming to be her cousin.
^ that was a tldr as i could make it i promise!
personality & details wise , arianne is calculating , adventurous and fierce-tempered. when she sees something she wants , she does everything within her power to obtain it and is not above using her femininity & sexuality to do so. often seducing people into doing her bidding. she was famously quite a small , slight girl growing up , who prayed to the seven to be given beauty when she grew up... and oh boy , did they. she started out with very little but came into her own with age , lush & curvaceous now , she adorns herself in expensive clothes , jewels and other ostentatious displays of her wealth. she’s also proudly pansexual , holding no preference for gender and enjoys polyamorous relationships immensely. she tends to have lots of on-going sexual partners and possesses a very vivid sexual imagination.
i do think it’d be interesting to see her tied down here however , with a fiancé or significant other! a shiv roy x tom wamsgans type beat!?
if someone wants to keep calling her ‘princess’ , that would be v attractive to me!
connections wise... again , i’d love a fiancé or significant other for arianne , to explore what a .. tied down , attempting commitment arianne would look like. a bodyguard , stylist , i picture her very much like .. a celebrity , kardashian / hadid family type beat here or the roy family from succession , maybe the martells have their own tv show and everything adjvsk so , she has like a team working under her , a group of friends , girl gang energy , exes , hook-up’s , ex hook up’s , any past partner , a confidante / best friend , enemies , frenemies , fans? rival business owners or families , that type thing!

illyana nikolievna rasputina, anglicised to illyana rasputin, was just six years old when her parents passed away in a road traffic collision. their deaths affected her immensely, thrusting a young illyana onto a dark path as she was rendered helpless against & soon consumed by the all encompassing grief that followed. perhaps in another world, there was something that could, or rather should have been done to pull illyana from the clutches of darkness but there was nothing anybody could do in this reality. so, she just... succumbed to it, embraced it even. those around the young girl tried to write it off as just some emotional, temperamental, ‘ goth ’ teenager state of mind, somebody simply going through a phase... had it not been for the way this change in illyana persisted throughout the years. from her youth to even now in her early twenties, gone was the wide-eyed little girl who’d held so much hope and promise, in her place stood a grown woman, draped entirely in black, save for her brilliant blonde hair, who looked upon the world in cynical light. a step beyond cynicism, some might even say.
she attended university for psychology, graduated, and then out of pure, unadulterated boredom, applied for a master’s degree programme, in psychology again. illyana’s still fairly unsure of what direction she wants to take her life in but she is fascinated by the human mind, namely her own. she’s been dabbling in witchcraft and spirituality for the better part of four or five years now, and just to appease her adoptive family ( wc! ) , keeps that as a hobby and nothing more ( yet ), committing herself instead to her studies in hopes to keep them off her back. she’s also an avid activist, particularly for women’s rights and lgbtq+ organisations, being a lesbian herself. she’s always very felt comfortable in her sexuality and open about it too, having found herself in several relationships throughout the years, all of which failed to work out but she remains optimistic in spite of herself, hopeful she’ll find someone out there to love her for her, someone who’ll see her. truly see her, for everything she is... and everything she’s soon to become.

her first nightmare saw illyana being thrust back into darkness... she’s stood in unfamiliar surroundings, above her a starless sky as demons of varying forms, of all shapes and sizes begin to encroach on her and overhead, flown above them all is their overlord. a colossus of a man, resembling the very devil himself with horns and a prehensile tail, red skin and eyes that appeared to her like abysses, two bottomless pits devoid of any discernible emotion, gleaming a sinister shade of crimson under the hellscape’s harsh light. staggering backwards, in want of distance, she finally catches sight of herself... realising now why the creature towers over her, she’s just a girl. a child of only six though she doesn’t realise it herself. letting out a petrifying scream, the blonde clenches her eyes shut and as if by magic, she is transported. before her now, a farmhouse... surrounded by endless fields, entirely isolated from the rest of society but to her, it’s familiar, inviting even and just as the girl moves to enter, her body restless with anticipation, the building bursts into flames. it’s consumed by fire. the windows shatter and the wood is scorched but all she can focus upon in that moment are the cries for help coming from inside. the screams and shrieking are incessant, ceaseless in their ability to cause her anguish. she can’t help but feel as though they’re calling out to her, as if they know she’s there and yet... there is nothing she can do but watch. and just as the final window is blown out, and the door explodes off it’s hinges, exposing a young, ingenuous illyana to the raw flames... she wakes. her hands twitching uncontrollably and the bloodstone she wears around her neck hot to the touch.
illyana’s intrigued. to begin with, it was a certainly a shock to the system, she didn’t quite know how to interpret it but she’s beginning to feel more comfortable with the idea of them, in spite of how traumatic that first dream was. she’s always believed in higher powers and such, and so, she’s taking this as some sort of sign. that there is some deeper meaning, some great mystery that needs to be uncovered. she, quite frankly, wants to know more and will, at this point, go to great lengths to achieve that knowledge.

first thing’s first... i love , love , love anya t-j as illyana , she’s the perfect illyana in my eyes and always has been , i’ve waited what feels like an eternity to use her as illyana but the new mutants film is... an absolute mess , hot garbage if you will , that paints my girl all wrong. including making her openly racist towards her native teammate , dani as well as just an overall bully and i just want to say before anything else , that that is not comics illyana at all. so, whilst i’m going to be using resources from the film , i don’t support josh boone’s writing nor his portrayal of her character and there will be none of it here. my illyana will be purely based upon the comics.
tw : mentions of child abuse & grooming. marvel canon tends to be all over the shop but i’m going to say her memories will pertain to her origin story being that she’s the sister of piotyr rasputin aka colossus , she was kidnapped by belasco at age six , spent the following eight years stuck in limbo under belasco’s control , was groomed by him as well as repeatedly abused by his servant s’ym , had her soul stolen and shaped into a bloodstone which allowed belasco to control her to a more severe degree , limbo being the magical , hell dimension that it is came with alternate realities and alternate reality versions of both kitty pryde aka shadowcat & ororo munroe aka storm came to tutor and train her in the use of her mutant ability and combat , some more hijinks ensue , she at one point returns home to her family’s farmhouse in siberia , only to be turned away because they don’t recognise her as their daughter , which breaks her heart. vengeful , she returned to limbo where she spectacularly caused her own life force energy to manifest the soulsword , crafted from the soul belasco stole from her and basically , overthrows belasco as ruler of limbo and at age fourteen , becomes ruler of limbo. she then , using her mutation , returned to the ‘ normal ’ version of reality , only to find that mere seconds had passed since her abduction , whereas eight years had passed in limbo. so , a now fourteen year old illyana , who people were expecting still to be just six , joined her brother as a member of the x-men and became leader of the new mutants. more hijinks & adventures ensue and she basically has a huge , unrelenting crush on kitty pryde but she keeps falling for guys , including her brother and sucks all round bc the x-men writers are cowards who won’t give kitty a girlfriend!
illyana’s mutation is the ability to create and control stepping discs at will , that allow illyana and others to teleport across interstellar distances or through time. unlike most teleporters, illyana can travel through both time and space, and thus, can travel back and forward through time at will.
she is also... the sorceress supreme of the magical dimension named limbo , which is a warped version of hell , home to demons. the extent of her powers there are all powerful and the demons of limbo dare not challenge her. because of her unique upbringing, illyana had access to belasco’s store of mystical knowledge and used it to her full advantage. in addition to that, her sorcery is a very unique mix of black magic that she learnt from belasco as well as white magic she was taught by alternate reality’s storm .
other paraphernalia and abilities of hers include but are not limited to... her soulsword , her eldritch armour , she’s also developed very strong psionic shields over the years and then , she has her demon other ‘ darkchylde ’ which resides within her. darkchylde usually shows up and turns out when illyana is particularly emotional or using black magic , and in that form , she grows horns , hooves and a tail. all out demon.
personality wise , she’s pretty shut off , not at all forthcoming , especially emotionally , she likes to keep that shit bottled up which , 9 times out of 10 is a terrible decision and leads to bad things but she doesn’t really know how else to handle them. that being said , she’s an incredibly bold individual , incredibly confident in herself and her abilities. audacious and brazen , she doesn’t miss a beat , her sense of humour is... dark as the hell from whence she came , she more often than not scares people because she’s that silent yet deadly type , dressed all in black , into the occult but also incredibly deadpan and hilarious in that way?
she’s absolutely an asshole , will talk shit about you but still an angel at her core , okay? believe me... you just have to dig for it. there’s a lot barriers to break but a heart of gold to uncover.
she’s fluent in russian , has a totally inexplicable russian accent in this universe.
she’s a sword-wielding lesbian.
and finally... she’s in need of siblings / an adoptive family , enemies , frenemies , a girl gang or a big found-family type group of friends , student friends , just friends in general , unlikely friendships , people that put up with her , and/or find her intriguing? ex-girlfriends , hook-up’s , one she’s truly catching feelings for and attempting to go all in with , drinking buddies , lgbtq+ buds , occult / witchy buds. the person who caused her parents car crash all those years ago? just all sorts again , i’ll take anything!

rachel dawn amber is a golden girl. she did well in school, an over-achiever in fact... popular, a straight a student who threw herself into all sorts of extracurriculars but what has earned her real accolades is her acting. ‘ a star ’ in the making, going after lead roles left, right and centre in pursuit of a career in tv & film. although a local theatre would just have to do in the mean time. her performances however, don’t come to an end once the curtains close and she leaves the stage. over the years, rachel’s become very accustomed to adapting herself to others’ desires, shaping herself into them. she’ll be whatever people want her to be, or rather, what people need her to be in a single moment. she’s an enigma, a people person and learnt so much from a young age. it’s how she wields her power. she’s in university now, second year studying acting and is frequently spotted at the island’s theatre. besides that, you’ll catch her attempting to muster up some modelling work on the side, partying the night away in and around aurora and just generally stirring up some trouble. fiery trouble usually.

rachel’s nightmare begins with a face. impossible to make out at first... but it becomes ever clearer as the realisation begins to set in that she’s unable to move. he’s looking down at her all the while, his glistening blue eyes focused upon hers, tears streaming down his red cheeks as he shakes her anxiously, panic written across his otherwise pale features... ❛ rachel! rachel! ❜ is all she can hear. her name over and over and over again... besides that, it’s just white noise. they’re somewhere familiar yet utterly harsh and unforgiving in nature. the room is cold and dark, devoid of any colour nor life for that matter, except for the two of them. they’re alone. she can scarcely make out what’s going on, her vision blurry and limbs weak, all she can do is look up at this boy as distress & anguish consume him at the mere sight of whatever is happening to her. heart races as with all the strength she can muster, she reaches for his hand, gripping it with some, faint muster in hopes to comfort him. a last ditch attempt. but she can’t stop the inevitable, and neither can he. it’s a waiting game, they’re expectant but horrified by what’s to come as the drugs, unbeknownst to her... the fatal dose debilitates her and renders her its victim. one last look at him gazing down toward her, cradled in his arms as darkness encroaches on her field of vision, drowning out any hope for survival. any hope at all. all that’s left is black... and then, she’s awake.
rachel is scared to say the least. she’s put the pieces together well enough that what she was experiencing in that first nightmare of hers, was her death. she died... and she knows, every kid has at least one dream where they die at the end and because they’re asleep, it all feels so real... they get eaten by a shark after watching jaws for the first time, or are hunted down by jason, or freddy but this... this truly felt real. she was experiencing it physically and that’s what has really perturbed her. something just isn’t right. that being said, the boy she saw in her nightmare, she’s desperate to uncover who it is and why they know her. what relation is he to her, what is he doing there... and why is he so affected by what happened to her? she feels, in some small way, comforted by his presence in her nightmare. he’s a good person... she just knows it.

tw : mentions of drugging & kidnap. her memories will come to include both life is strange & life is strange : before the storm , she’s fully in line with canon meaning her memories include : her father , the truth about her mother , meeting and befriending chloe , starting a forest fire and awakening some powers , falling for chloe , getting close to nathan , getting close to frank , falling in love with her teacher , mark jefferson ( we don’t talk about this ) , ultimately getting caught up in jefferson’s web of lies & manipulation after promises that he could open doors for her in the modelling industry , leading to her drugging & kidnap at his hands , being held in the dark room whilst he photographed her against her will and then jefferson framing nathan for her murder by setting him up with an overdose which would kill her and then... she gets buried in arcadia bay’s junkyard , which had become chloe and rachel’s hangout spot and everyone’s under the assumption that she’s simply gone missing or skipped town entirely in order to move back to los angeles and live out her dreams.
as for personality & details : she is your stereotypical leo. used to getting what she wants , a bit of a drama queen and a show-off , creative , passionate , vivacious , confident , overly-confident some might say , stubborn , a little on the possessive side , self-centred but a natural born leader with a big heart and even bigger dreams.
the blue jay is her spirit animal and she wears a blue jay feather earring to symbolise them.
she is the ceo of destructive behaviour.
as aforementioned... i’d really like to play with the idea of her having possessed powers , similarly to max because i choose to believe that ‘before the storm’ was hinting at it and the way she started that fire was always suspect to me. my girl’s got a whole banshee scream so , i will be flirting with that idea .
she’s a leo sun , an aquarius moon & a pisces rising.
she's openly bisexual so , give her some exes , flings , ex-flings , enemies , frenemies , friends , unlikely friendships , uni friends , people she’s manipulating and playing like a fiddle , her dealer , fellows actors , her scene partner , toxic relationships , a teacher / student dynamic bc of course she’d get mixed up in that again , any photography babes she could model for , all sorts. do bring her a chloe too!
