What is man without the beasts?

HIATUS A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night; May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright.

✨ rewriting this blog to fit the story I want to tell a little bit better. I’ll be posting a promo and re-opening the blog/its characters for RP once i’m done.

As of today, I’m making the change from being kinda laissez-faire w/ shipping to exclusive ships that have already been fulfilled. I want to point out that I’ve been mulling this over for a while, and no one’s behavior drove me to this; it’s just been a long time coming tbh.

This applies to all three of my blogs(brandedearth, vivat–regina, and fidelisbestia), and any blogs I make in the future, probably.

I apologise if I’ve upset anyone or made them feel inadequate, that’s not my intention and I certainly do not feel that way. I’m simply doing what is most comfortable for me, because who is going to watch out for me but myself? I also want to prevent the scenario where people only interact with my characters bc they find them attractive. This isn’t meant to point fingers, but is supposed to be a preventative measure, if that makes sense.

if you got this far, thank you for reading and i hope, despite this, you all will continue to rp with me in the future 👍

Katja/Usko headcanons(v. human no more + afflicted);

It is supremely difficult to separate Katja from Usko and vice versa; she is fiercely protective and probably the more dangerous of the two. Usko is similarly protective but takes a more pacifist take to conflicts. Where Usko would rather run than fight(which typically means picking Katja up and then fleeing), Katja will fight tooth and nail if someone means her or Usko harm.

Katja may not have been the breadwinner of the two, but her previous experiences(helping around the farm and helping Usko carry his work) has left her with substantial muscle mass. She is by no means SUPER RIPPED, but she can wield a Kirkhammer without too much difficulty.

As a human, Usko stands at about 5' 5". Katja is about 5' 6". His slow transformation does little to alter this, until it reaches its appex, where he is then about 14' at full height.

Usko is definitely the more calm of the two; Katja has very little caution, and will speak her mind regardless of the consequences. It is perhaps a good thing then that a majority of what she says is in Finnish.

squints who is this

Tentative hands delicately reach out, careful and slow towards the beast. Her gloved fingers curl around his narrow maw and tenderly stroke and scritch.

The beast freezes, not even daring to breath; no one has ever attempted to touch him before. Most simply run on sight, or avoid him entirely. Not that he can blame them, he himself is loathe to seek out humans in the first place, and even if he did, his was not necessarily the most inviting face to look upon. Although, his size and generally perceived aggressiveness are enough of a deterrent to most, which makes it that much easier. 

This one is apparently not like most, and he is immensely thankful for it the moment her fingers begin working their magic. He chitters appreciatively and leans into her touch despite himself.

The Grand Cathedral was empty, or at least it smelled empty. His sight had presumably deteriorated prior to his transformation; his memories of the time Before are never blurry. Instead, the beast relies on smell, which admittedly is perhaps a better way of identifying things in the world he now lives in. 

His claws click on the marble floor, and he's careful to avoid the walls, lest his horns damage the statues. Those are perhaps the most troublesome of his... new additions. They extend far past his skull, and he's damaged more property than he'd ever be comfortable with simply by not paying attention. 

Reaching the altar at the end of the choir room, he pauses. That small part of him that remembers his humanity is distinctly uncomfortable *climbing* a place of worship, but the rest of him concedes the necessary point. Rarely would a human be found up there, and it is quiet enough that he could catch a few hours of sleep, even in the daylight hours. 

A sound behind him makes the beast stop; perhaps his nose isn’t so useful after all. He only hopes they’ll let him pass without much fuss, but that may be too much to ask.

location headcanons(i.e. where he is to be found):

I. Frequently attempts to nest inside the cathedral in the Cathedral Ward. Unfortunately, he remembers too late he’s too big to sleep on the buttresses. 

II. Can be found wandering the graveyard in the Cathedral Ward, although the reason why he’s drawn to that particular graveyard is lost on him. 

III. Old Yharnam, for obvious reasons. Avoids Djura if he can, but is otherwise content to just kinda... sunbathe, or den somewhere.

It is impossible to tell a wolf from a man if he keeps his chin up and his teeth clean.
