there is no grave deeper than the sea, and no justice greater than death.
independent semi-selective d&d original character. paving themes of vengeance, justice without virtue, lusting violence, and hateful arrogance.

blogroll: @muunsick (baldur's gate werewolf oc.)
am a bit inactive here for now :) been having a blast over at @grief-worn as shadowheart hehehe.
but i will return! avast!
Are tiefling tails erogenous zones? An official answer 😉
From the creator of the Forgotten Realms himself:
Link
The way he sits on his chair is casual yet... There's a subtle rigidness to his shoulders. This isn't a natural sort of casual. It's a well practiced facade, body angled toward her, giving off a sense of both interest in invitation. Everything he's doing is meant to lure in and hook a customer. He's got to make a living, after all. And oh how his options are limited with necromancy being illegal, and rather ironically, punishable by death if caught practicing.
The sound he makes is something akin to a mix of a cough and laugh. As much as he'd like to join her in making fun of the Madam, she is his boss and he can't afford to be fired. Hands briefly raised in mock surrender, he replies, "I don't make the rules, I'm just forced to follow them." He studies her like she studies him, hazel eyes carefully raking over her form. "As amusing as your repetitive daddy issues jokes are, we both know that's not why you're here." He chuckles into his drink as he takes a sip. What an odd one, she is. He's having a hard time getting a read on her.
"Most people who come here don't talk to gauge value," he adds, reminding her of his reality. "The Madam doesn't make you pay for any over the clothes action that happens at the bar as long as you haven't been at it for long. Most patrons use this floor to give their pick a test run."
"That so?" Her spine goes straight, her form leaning closer. Even through the smog of perfume and lust-borne sweat, he catches a whiff of her person. Sea breeze and leather, and the faintest burn of gunpowder.
"Sounds like you're givin' me permission to get my hands dirty." she grumbles, something dark and intentional smoldering behind her stare. "Lemme get a look then."
One hand seizes his jaw, manipulating his head from side to side. She takes her gander, pressing even closer, her nose hovering above his collarbone. A few audible sniffs tells her he's clean. Hygienic.
Meri grips onto one of his wrists, layering light but forceful kisses to the curve of his knuckles, her gaze focused and trained on the skin between his fingers. She's clearly searching for something. Something other than mere physical intimacy.
"…so, tell me," Meri tosses a look sideways, a brief scan of the room, before peering back up at him, now carefully inspecting the markings along his visage. "You much of a reader? Of books, I mean. Know your way around a library?"
Meri lounges atop her stool with a crooked posture, body weight precariously balanced as she tilts her head to one side, wearing that ever-present grin. She lets her eyes shamelessly drink him in, though it lacks the lasciviousness one might expect from a patron of the flesh. She's sizing him up, for what purpose, he doesn't understand.
"You ain't denying it." she snorts, swirling the last swallows of booze in her cup. The cheapest swill this place offers. "Must mean I'm right. Bet you get plenty of little things in here with daddy issues." Her tail flicks at its end, yellow eyes peering out behind the wrapping of her bandana.
"Bah, your Madam can kiss my bloody ballsack." Meri downs the rest of her drink. "I ain't allowed to do a bit of window shopping? How'm I s'posed to know you're worth my coin if I don't get to know ya first." Her jaw grinds, irritated. She did not appreciate being rushed. She especially did not appreciate being rushed at a pleasure house of all things.

❛ do you have any last words? ❜
❛ the sea's been calling. well, not exactly calling, because i pretty much can't swim, but you get the idea. ❜
❛ so what do you say? are you with me? ❜
❛ liar! i know zoro must be after me. who else is worthy of his pursuit? ❜
❛ who's the most powerful pirate on the seas? ❜
❛ first things first. do you have any food here? ❜
❛ you don't look like a pirate. ❜
❛ i'm not afraid of getting hurt. and i'll prove it to you. ❜
❛ i don't get it. why would anyone want to be a pirate? ❜
❛ you have the wind on your back, the salty sea air, your loyal crew by your side. you never know what's on the horizon. it's all about being... free. ❜
❛ you should never let anyone tell you what you can't do. ❜
❛ well, remember the name, 'cause i'm gonna be king of the pirates. ❜
❛ people often visit shrines to light candles for those they've lost. who are yours for? ❜
❛ you've been following me for three days. what do you want? ❜
❛ look, i've been practicing what my face is gonna look like on my wanted poster.❜
❛ i've no doubt your mug will be on a wanted poster one day. ❜
❛ all he did was spill a drink on me. ❜
❛ you should've fought back! why didn't you kick his ass? ❜
❛ not everything can be solved with violence. a man needs to be strong, but he also needs to be good. ❜
❛ you're not a real man. you're nothing but a coward. ❜
❛ you ate a devil fruit? ❜
❛ ever since i was a kid, i wanted to protect people that can't protect themselves.❜
❛ if that's what you want, i think you should do it. i'll help you out. ❜
❛ my crew was attacked by pirates. i barely managed to make it out alive. ❜
❛ rice balls. for you. ❜
❛ you shouldn't draw your blade unless you're prepared to use it. ❜
❛ don't kill me, please. my father will give you anything you want. ❜
❛ i'd say you live up to your reputation. ❜
❛ what's up with the third sword? i mean, where does it even go? ❜
❛ what do you say, puppy? do you want to do a trick for me? sit up and beg. ❜
❛ i kill your kind for a living. ❜
❛ i mean it. i don't owe you anything. ❜
❛ you are going to get us both caught if you keep stomping around this place. ❜
❛ that was amazing. admit it. we do make a pretty good team. ❜
❛ so why did you decide to become a thief? ❜
❛ i needed to eat. you do what you have to, to survive. ❜
❛ you're right. nothing is more important than food. ❜
❛ all great fighters call out their finishing moves. ❜
❛ i don't work for you. ❜
❛ i'm sensing a little bit of tension amongst the crew. ❜
❛ before we met, every choice was made for me. but now i'm gonna do what i want to do. ❜
❛ next time we meet, we might be enemies. but for now... we're friends. ❜
❛ i'm feeling so... so piratey. ❜
❛ well, you're gonna end up feeling watery if i have to throw you overboard. i told you i need absolute silence. ❜
❛ don't mess with my hat. ❜
❛ oh, i'm sorry. were we interrupting your beauty sleep? ❜
❛ don't like what you see? look away. ❜
❛ you have a lot of names. i bet everyone in the east blue knows who you are. ❜
❛ are you making fun of my nose? ❜
❛ i know your type. if there's nothing to gain, you're out. ❜
❛ truthfully? i'm kind of hungry. ❜
❛ who are you trying to impress? a lost love? an absent parent? or was it someone that you worshipped? ❜
❛ i used to know a pirate that wore a hat just like this. ❜
❛ for a time, i even thought we were friends. until he betrayed me. just like all the others. ❜
❛ he wanted to keep me out of the spotlight! he wanted to keep my star from shining too brightly! ❜
❛ is that what he did to you? did he betray you, too? ❜
❛ you can slice me and you can dice me, but i'll always put myself back together again. ❜
❛ i've been thinking about you for years. ❜
❛ i know you're upset, but you should eat something. ❜
❛ you're never not hungry. what's going on? ❜
❛ you can spill a drink on me and i'll let it slide, but don't you ever threaten my friends. ❜
❛ you can't make people love you. just like you can't make them smile. ❜
❛ you really think anyone is coming for you? they don't care. and no one is gonna miss you when you're dead. ❜
❛ get lost. ❜
❛ i'm just glad that you're okay. ❜
❛ what was that? i couldn't hear you over all the drowning. ❜
❛ you really don't fear death, do you? ❜
❛ what's the plan? you do have a plan, right? that's your thing, plans. ❜
❛ you want out? you know the price you have to pay. ❜
❛ you want a piece of me? let's see what you got. ❜
❛ i think i'll miss you most of all. ❜
❛ we're gonna be the greatest pirates the world has ever seen. even greater than your crew. ❜
❛ this hat is the most precious thing i own. it means the world to me. and i want you to take it. ❜
❛ when we meet again, you can give it back to me. ❜
❛ is every day gonna be this crazy with you? ❜
❛ if the path to what you want seems too easy, then you're on the wrong path. ❜
( life aboard her darling scorned. )
【 i take what's mine. and take and take. 】
continued from HERE. @bloodyarn
"It's no mistake," Meri bends at the hip, looming over the seamstress with stormy intent dancing behind her eyes. "that's what I am."
Her eyes chart a looooong path down the smaller one's figure, an intentional bow of her head, making no effort to mask the lechery on display as she polishes her teeth with a swipe of her tongue.
"You know what they say about us pirates, little lady." She is no closer than she was just a minute ago, but her voice lowers to Babette's level, a deep timbre that coiled the air like a serpent. "We love to plunder booty," A sideways grin and a creak of her jaw. "and it seems you're packin' quite the treasure."
Her stare very purposefully leaps to untoward places.
" aye ... it reeks of updog in here ... " @bleeding--scales
A scaled eyebrow quirks at the comment, a forked tongue flicking to taste the air. Funny, he didn't smell anything out of the ordinary. He glances down at his much smaller first mate, who's eyes had a mischievous glint, but she just shrugged as if she also had no idea. Though her grin was evident as her captain looked away again. This was going to be a magical moment...
"What the bloody hell is 'updog'?"
As soon as the words fell from the serpent's mouth, Reyna had to hold herself back from bursting out in laughter.
There's no effort wasted in hiding that crooked, shit-eating smirk. Meri tilts her head back, peering down the bridge of her nose, eyes like coins, gleaming. Momentarily, she locks her stare on Reyna, sharing in the other's satisfaction.
She's the cat that caught the mouse.
" … nothing much. What's up with you?"
A flick of the wrist and a dagger flung down the alleyway. The sound of a different body hitting the group with a wet thump. Brail had not been talking to either the lass or the prey beneath. But instead to the now corpse.
Brail sighed and shook her head, the hefty great ax on her back softly clanking. Clearly she had chosen the wrong phrasing. So much for her time among others.
"You are right. It was not my fight. But I figure that you took the minnow I was using as bait for a ride and that is not good for business. "
Her ear moves before her head, flicking once, before the smaller one turns to see a warm body thud against the ground. How could she have missed them? She's spent too many days sweeping floors and babysitting pirates, it seems.
Without looking at the man beneath her, one jerk of her wrist severs his throat apart, spilling red into the earth. She rises, wiping the edge of her steel against her sleeve.
"…hmph. What importance do these fools have to you?" As she asks this, fuzzy hands are already digging through his pockets. The dead have no use for gold, better they weigh down her sack instead of theirs.
she who tallies in blood.
@brokenpathways sent a message ...📩 [ TO THE THREAT ]: " didn't you hear them? back off! " [One Tabaxi to another]
How unfortunate that strangers nowadays cannot mind their own business. Always sticking nosy faces where they don't belong.
The crouching feline slowly twists her head, one pale, blue eye peering from beyond her shoulder, black pupil pinched to a harrowing slit. She keeps her dagger compressed against her victim's jugular, one shoe drilled into his forearm, pinning it against the mud.
"This is not your fight, kin." She warns, her attention briefly yanked back when the body beneath her starts to squirm and flail. She halts that with a strike to his nose, the ribbed handle of her weapon crunching against fragile bone.
Who raised this tabaxi, anyways? Didn't anyone tell them to steer clear of scuffles in dark alleyways?
a comprehensive guide on the crew of HER DARLING SCORNED.
the captain: meri merdoc. the ruthless leader and driving force behind the entire crew. she has a flawed moral compass and a refined taste for the more decadent and perverted leisures in life. won't hesitate to kiss you. won't hesitate to kill you. wildshapes into an orca.
the first mate: cass haven. the steadying balance to meri's violent behavior. stoic, unyielding, and ceaselessly loyal to those she trusts. a cleric of auril. upon first glance, one might mistake her quiet nature for benevolence, but she couldn't care less about what happens to you. wildshapes into a leopard seal.
the navigator: nerida shore. not much is known about their life or their past, and they prefer to keep it that way. they're headstrong and dangerously clever, sharper than a dagger to your throat. has one good eye, but damn, it's a good eye. is a known cheat, and is banned from all game nights. wildshapes into an anglerfish.
the boatswain: akir inder. resident weirdo and freak. his warlock patron is a titanically powerful sea beast. the crew is honestly unsure where his loyalties lie, but he's capable and almost never has a problem getting dirty. spends the most time with seshadri. wildshapes into a giant squid.
the surgeon: seshadri. hails from a small, remote village. philosophically opposes everything the hippocratic oath stands for. sadistic, unfathomably curious, and meticulous. will often use prisoners and stowaways to benefit his research. shockingly good at dancing. wildshapes into a sea snake.
the stewardess: silver-eye cutlass. to friends, she is called lass. was plucked out of the trash as a young child and given a home on the ship. is almost unanimously adored by everyone onboard. maintains order and routine amongst the crew, and happily involves herself with violence, should the need arise. is romantically partnered with bayard. wildshapes into a shrimp.
the cook: delmar. is often found lounging around half-sober. when he's not napping, he spends much of his free-time tinkering with new recipes and innovating technological gadgets. unfortunately, he also suffers from frequent bouts of sea sickness. loves arm wrestling (he always wins). wildshapes into a swordfish.
the gunner: thal havelock. former rich boy who was fed up with the noble lifestyle. an ostentatious flirt. in a rivalry with pera to see who can be the most annoying bastard on the ship. is the best at cards. laid-back, adventurous, and hates tedium. wildshapes into a barracuda.
the musician: bayard dubois. the fruitiest guy you know. adores making new friends, but will also backstab you faster than you can say bonjour! (listen, i know french doesn't exist in d&d. bear with me.) is the worst at cards. silly, carefree, and always itching to be a little kiss-ass. wildshapes into a sea otter.
the officer: zale sirena. the middle sibling of the sirenas. stone-faced and intimidating, but not generally quick to anger. a woman of few words. asexual. would really prefer to be napping right now. rarely drinks alcohol. wildshapes into a bull shark.
the carpenter: pera sirena. the youngest sibling of the sirenas. flagrant asshole and instigator of bullshit. it's an easy mistake to assume she has a big ego, but really she just adores pissing people off, and will wield condescension to achieve this. probably the laziest crew member. is a bigger alcoholic than the captain. wildshapes into a hammerhead shark.
the helmsman: anteia sirena. the oldest sibling of the sirenas. mature. does her best to be a prime role-model for her sisters, but often fails. is likely the kindest member of her darling scorned. holds fury in her heart, but is often too soft to enact this, so she lives vicariously through the actions of the others. is hopelessly in love with meri, but it's unfortunately one-sided. able to be gentle, but won't cry for you when you die. wildshapes into a mako shark.
pov: you're about to become the next cabin boy.
HEROIC INTERVENTION. ( A PROMPT LIST! )
so i was writing this headcanon for one of my characters, and it got me thinking about how some characters are absolutely, to their very core, protectors, and even then they still need protecting! so i made this list which is similar to about five other memes i've made. feel free to add a "reverse" if you so wish! DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST NOR CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN. THANK YOU.

ACTIONS:
[ HAND ]: sender, having seen the receiver's encounter with the threat, gently takes the receiver's hand to assure them they aren't alone.
[ INTERVENE ]: sender wordlessly steps in between the receiver and the threat, facing the threat while shielding the receiver from them.
[ BLOCK ]: sender steps in between the receiver and the threat, this time facing the receiver while turning their back to the threat and blocking them from the receiver's line of sight.
[ BACK ]: sender places a protective and gentle hand on the receiver's back, preparing to guide them away from the threat.
[ DOOR ]: sender firmly but politely insists that the threat leave the building, and escorts them out of the door.
[ EXIT ]: sender physically catches hold of the threat and drags them away from the receiver, and outside of the building.
[ PUSH ]: sender places a careful hand on the threat to keep them at arm's length, and steps forward again to give the receiver more space between them and the threat.
[ SHOVE ]: sender runs over and forcefully shoves the threat back and away from the receiver.
[ SPACE ]: sender pushes between the receiver and the threat and begins to move forward, invading the threat's personal space as both a means of intimidation and a way of getting them away from the receiver.
[ DIVERT ]: sender arrives behind the threat and gains their attention, distracting them from the receiver so as to give them time to leave the area.
[ CLEAR ]: the sender firmly and clearly tells the threat that they are no longer allowed in the premises nor anywhere near the receiver.
[ ARM ]: sender wraps a protective arm around the receiver and guides them away from the threat and out of the premises.
[ PUNCH ]: the sender, having seen the receiver's reaction to the threat and the threat's lack of consideration, moves forward and punches the threat in the face.
