✧ APPRENTICEMBER ✧

I wanted to do something big for the Arcana community, something to bring us together! And why not make an event focusing on my favorite part of this community, our ocs and fan apprentices!

To participate, all you need to do is answer the daily question and tag your post with #apprenticember! There’s no pressure, no minimum word count, and you can skip days if you like!

Introduce your apprentice! Just their name, personality, appearance, and likes/dislikes for now! If you have pictures of them, post them today!

Who is their LI? What’s their relationship like?

Give a short summary of their relationship to the other main characters!

What about the couriers? Have they met them? What do they think of them?

Do they have any other friends outside of canon? What about the minor characters? 

Now, do they have any rivals? Maybe even a WORST ENEMY!? Spill the deets now!

Second week! Let’s go back to their physical description, but go even deeper! Do they have tattoos, piercings, scars, etc? What sort of clothes do they like?

Now let’s give their familiar the spotlight! Tell us all about them!

Do they have a patron arcana? Who is it? What’s their relationship like?

What is their relationship to the other arcana like?

Do they have a gateway? What does it look like? If they don’t have one, describe their ideal spot instead.

What does their home look like? Their room?

Can they cook? What’s their favorite meal?

What does their magic look/feel like?

What are they proudest of?

What’s their deepest insecurity?

Do they have any family, living or non living? List their family tree!

What were they like as a child?

If your mc fights, what is their fighting style? If they don’t, why not?

Remember the Valentines Day event where you could pick between 3 gifts to give the LI? What 3 gifts would you write for your mc?

Now what kind of gifts are they most likely to give?

What does your mc do to show their love?

What parts of Vesuvia is your mc most likely to be at?

Does your mc like parties, festivals, and masquerades? What do they do at them?

What’s your favorite thing about your mc?

How has your mc changed since you first made them?

Has your mc ever KILLED anybody? What are their thoughts on MURDER?

Are they afraid to die?

What is a fact about your mc others would never guess?

Is there anything else you’d like us to know?

Name another mc you read about and enjoyed! Shout out your favorite mc!

Types of Prophecy & divination!! (for your magic system)

⤷ vision ✧ involuntary, often triggered by touch, proximity, or a moment of crisis. the character doesn't choose this, it just happens to them, which makes it great for scenes where someone touches an object or another person and suddenly loses control of the moment entirely. genuinely unsettling bc it removes agency from the character having it.

⤷ omen ✧ a small sign, a bird's flight, spilled salt, a broken mirror, that has to be interpreted rather than delivered directly. this one's great for slow-burn dread, bc the reader (and maybe the character) can see the omen long before anyone understands what it actually means, and misreading it can become its own plot point.

⤷ prophetic dream ✧ occurs during sleep and tends to be symbolic rather than literal. this gives you so much creative room, bc the dream doesn't have to make sense in the moment, it just has to feel meaningful, and the character (and reader) get to slowly piece together what it actually meant as the plot catches up to it.

⤷ reading ✧ deliberate divination using physical tools, cards, bones, tea leaves, palms. this one's active rather than involuntary, someone chooses to sit down and ask, which makes it great for a character seeking answers on purpose and getting something they didn't want to hear.

⤷ foretelling ✧ a spoken prophecy, often cryptic, delivered by an oracle or a dying figure. this is your classic capital-p prophecy moment, and the cryptic phrasing is doing real narrative work, bc it lets the prophecy be technically true in a way nobody expected until the story reveals it.

⤷ portent ✧ a large-scale sign, a natural disaster, a celestial event, warning of coming change on a bigger scale than any one person. great for raising stakes across an entire world or kingdom rather than just one character's storyline, and for giving your side characters something to be afraid of even if they're not directly involved in the main plot.

⤷ scrying ✧ active far-sight through a tool, a mirror, water, a crystal, and it genuinely drains the person using it. this is a great cost mechanic, bc it means a character can't just scry constantly for information, they have to choose their moments carefully, which raises the stakes of every time they do it.

⤷ blood prophecy ✧ tied to a specific bloodline, and only fulfillable by someone of that line. this one pairs really well with blood wards from the last post, bc it lets you build a whole thread around legitimacy, who actually has the right blood, and what happens if the "wrong" person tries to fulfill it anyway.
