(There are ripples across the surface of the ocean of blood, and not from any breeze; AT-5 is devoid of an atmosphere.)
Hello. Don't be afraid.
(It is not something quite heard to much as felt, and it calls like a siren's song.)
Come closer. Turn away from the stars.
(Will you answer?)
// ooc: just gonna copy and paste from my other blog real quick, don't mind me- hi yāall, Icarus here! since there are multiple Simons, I figure there's no harm in having multiple Eels, too! my main is @mythicandco; I also do creative stuff over on @the-professional-cocomeloner and please note I have not yet seen the movie! I donāt mind spoilers though, I mean, obviously, and I have played the game and I love it so so much
anyways with all that being said, usual rules apply: no nsfw (except for gore, which is more than welcome), no romance, though feel free to interact both physically and like... I guess it would be mentally? I mean, the Eel can tap into radio frequencies so I guess you could also send transmissions to her, lol. for physical interactions, keep in mind that AT-5 doesn't have an atmosphere, so human characters and anybody else who likes to not be depressurized should probably wear a space suit. the gravity is similar to that of Earth, maybe just a little lesser, due to AT-5's dense core.
if you have any other questions, feel free to ask! I donāt biteā¦ usually. //
// additional info! this blog uses she/it for the Eel: she/her in the way a boat is, or when you use those pronouns for an animal like a shark or a spider; used mostly ooc. it/its is usually used in-universe, and occasionally they/them but that's when literally referring to the fact that she's made up of multiple people melted together.
in a similar vein, Ellie is a sort of nickname that's mostly used ooc, and the Eel is more in-universe. if asked to self-identify, I honestly don't know how she'd respond; maybe you should ask!
as for why her behavior/mannerisms seem inconsistent, that's also part of the whole "being an amalgamation of multiple people" and also "influenced heavily by eldritch/cosmic forces but still clinging to humanity in some ways" thing. there are a lot of different memories and personalities in there, and sometimes they're hard to keep down. interacting with certain other characters might bring them to the surface more, so sometimes she's angry with a grudge, sometimes she sings a siren song trying to draw you into the hivemind, sometimes she's weirdly compassionate, and sometimes she's even snarky. it's all warring around in there. //
guide to tags on this blog:
descents - asks and answers
broadcast calls - regular posts (in character), typically open to int with if theyāre recent
vertebrae - reblogging over and over and over again in those massive reblog chains so typical of tumblr roleplays
// ooc // - posts made out of character
ominous title (name) - just my method of keeping track of whoās interacting with the eel at any given time, and a nifty system for finding certain characters again when I need em
