hiii !! iām zia (she/her, 21+) and even though iām not new to tumblr, iām new to roleplaying on tumblr, so i apologize for mistakes and upcoming questions. i really like the premise of this collective so iām excited to meet everyoneās muses and plot with yāall!! iām still working on minjaeās bio, but hereās his ability and resident profile and under the cut you can find a few more information. please just hit me up if you want to plot <33 or like this post and i shall approach you <3
first and foremost, this muse and his abilities were inspired by paul atreides and the bene gesserit sisterhood from dune. with the difference that my muse isn't space jesus on drugs š
the word ācharmspeakā is from rick riordan <33Ā
background summary:
he was born into a secretive cult of charmspeakers known as the hyeonmu order. this cult has existed since metahumans were first introduced to society and since then, theyāve been subtly influencing politics and society for their own gain
in the cult, members undergo strict training to perfect their tone, intonation, and emotional control
they practice extreme emotional discipline, like how to detach themselves from personal feelings to enhance the effectiveness of their charmspeak
all members have to swear an oath to keep the orderās existence and activities a secret (under penalty of severe consequences if they donāt keep their promise)
once the membersā abilities are fully developed, they are assigned to influential positions in society (some of them are even in the aeternal task force)
as he grew older, he became increasingly aware of how morally corrupt the order was and he also noticed that no one seemed to question their practices or motives
he even suspected that the order used mind control on its own members to maintain obedience and secrecy but it somehow didnāt work on him and thatās how he realized that, at some point, he obtained the (minor) ability to resist any form of mind controlĀ
wow i feel like iām just yapping and thereās still so much to say about his background???Ā
anyway, iāll try to keep it short: his mom is a high-ranking charmspeaker within the order and sheās quite respected for her abilities and her wisdom, but she does not have the highest position in the order, so she must still adhere to the rules and decisions of the orderās leadership
his relationship to her was always good <3 she always supported her son and recognized his potential but also his need for individuality
she advised him to leave and explore life outside the cult and find his own path and use his abilities for his own purposes, yadda yadda yaddaĀ
sheās bad as hell ngl, she helped him build a new identity (surprise !! moon minjae is not his real name) to hide from the cult
WEāRE REACHING THE END GUYS, WE CHEERED !! so yeah with his momās help, he escaped the order at 19 and lived here and there and took odd jobs to survive
he only decided to move to silver line apartments a year ago because without the cult, he kinda missed the feeling of belonging and thought that he could find it in a community of metahumans (heās also taking a risk by living there because the chances of the order finding him in 2cc is higher)
ok thatās it for the summaryā¦ i think? right now my boy is a security guard and wanders the halls during the night to keep trouble far away !! which is kinda easy for him, given his ability of persuasion <3
oh, and heās still very cautious since his old cult is actively searching for him. BUT heās very protective of his mom and would never reveal any of the orderās secrets to ensure her safety
if you actually read this far, thank you so much and please hit me up to plot with my boy :((Ā
personality:
he tends to keep to himself and rarely initiates conversations and often observes silently from the background
he has difficulties expressing his feelings openly since years of emotional discipline and control have made him somewhat detached
despite his quiet and reserved nature, he is friendly and polite when others treat him with kindness and respectĀ
and !! he tries his best !! he puts effort into adapting to his new life to build friendships, even if itās challenging for him
and once he forms a bond, he is actually really loyal and protective of those he cares about
but at the end of the day heās still a cult-raised charmspeaker, so if someone provokes or challenges him, he doesnāt hesitate to use his charmspeak ability to assert control and get what he wants ://
last but not least, he values privacy and discretion (both for himself and others), so heās good in keeping secrets
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR WOW???? MWAH PLEASE HIT ME UP <33
