(( OKAY, so I got a huge chunk of those starters formatted and posted. If you can’t find one that I owed you, there are a couple of possibilities:

It’s there, but you can’t find it in my recent post spam.

I haven’t finished all of my drafted starters (like an idiot).

I forgot that you asked for one (also like an idiot).

Feel free to message me if you think that I owe you something, and I’ll take a look-see! ; v; ))

Veles┆Starter Call

Xander had come to find that conversations with Veles were often relaxing. There weren’t a large number of people that he felt he could talk to very easily, either because they found the prince to be intimidating or because formal conversation was outside of their usual range.

Perhaps that was why, ❝Would you mind if I asked for your opinion of the patriarchy?❞ had come out so easily over the rim of his cup.

❝Forgive me if the question is sudden,❞ he continues, setting his drink back down, ❝but with the war coming to a close, I’ve found myself thinking of the future; how our government ought to be changed. I want these changes to be satisfactory to the people…but I find myself clueless as to what it is they want.❞

#diavoleste #✮ XANDER┆this is the hymn of the firstborn son.#✮ UNDETERMINED┆the road may wander; it will lead me to you.#(( man remember how xander didn't trust veles last time i wrote something for the two of them ))#(( i don't know what happened between then and now but i mean ))#(( i knew that he'd come to trust the guy eventually ))#(( xander the hypocrite strikes again what the heck else is new honestly ))

Kliff┆Starter Call

❝Would you hold still?❞ Leon said, a chuckle in his voice and a smile on his face. ❝I can’t very well get this nice and even if you squirm. I promise that I won’t poke your eye out.❞

It had taken quite a bit of persuasion to get Kliff to allow him to put even a little bit of makeup on him—supposedly it was “a waste of time”, to which Leon had adamantly argued that self-care is never a waste of time—but he’d finally gotten him to sit down and let Leon paint around his eyes. (He wanted to do his lips, too, but he’ll just have to settle.)

❝Don’t open just yet,❞ he instructed, tilting the younger man’s face this way and that to examine his handiwork. ❝Just let it dry for a minute…. Oh, you’ve got such beautiful eyes. Pinks and purples really do suit you.❞

#luxpotentias #✮ LEON┆got a figure like a pin-up; got a figure like a doll.#✮ UNDETERMINED┆the road may wander; it will lead me to you.#(( HE'S GOT TO DOLL UP HIS BABY BI / DRAG DAUGTHER IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TRUST ME I'M A PROFESSIONAL ))

Silque┆Starter Call

❝Sorry if I’m interrupting anything,❞ Leon said, ❝but…would you mind if I joined you?❞ Leon was rarely the type of man to sound uncertain, but his voice was quiet and…maybe even nervous.

In his defense, he was in completely foreign territory, so to speak—not physically, as he’d been to shrines dedicated to Mila many times, but spiritually. To worship the Earth Mother was new to him, not to mention heresy back home in Rigel, where Duma was their god. What would come of such insolence, he really couldn’t say, but after so many claims that the gods would strike him for his “blasphemous ways” and no actual repentance being brought down, he’d learned to not have much fear.

Even so, he wished to do this correctly, and…Silque seemed like she was his best choice of a guide.

#nessblessed #✮ LEON┆got a figure like a pin-up; got a figure like a doll.#✮ UNDETERMINED┆the road may wander; it will lead me to you.#(( silque help he doesn't know what the hell he's doing ))

Niles┆Starter Call

❝Is there something that I can help you with,❞ Jakob asked, irritation sharp on his tongue, ❝or do you just plan on standing around there all day?❞

To say that he’d ever been fond of Niles would be a lie. To be completely fair, Jakob didn’t like much of anyone, but the former outlaw had a particularly bad habit of getting on his nerves. Thankfully, he had been able to avoid interacting with him for most of the time that he had been servicing Leo, since he had been stationed in the Northern Fortress while Niles stayed in Windmire with his own liege. Unfortunately, this war meant that he couldn’t ignore him the same way that he used to.

❝I’m afraid that I don’t have the time for your childish games. Why don’t you find someone who’ll actually indulge your sadistic nature?❞

#outlawarcher #✮ JAKOB┆i have the honor to be your obedient servant.#✮ UNDETERMINED┆the road may wander; it will lead me to you.#(( jakob talking to niles at all probably counts as indulgence just shut up ))

Satan┆Starter Call

❝Are you…like me?❞ Takumi looks the strange person; creature; thing that stands before him. Strangely beautiful in a way that only a god can be, with an aura of great power, there’s no way that he’s human.

❝… No…. You and I are different.❞ Yes: they’re very different. Takumi is but a vessel for a divine being such as the one before him. There’s also the fact that he still possesses some level of humanity. It’s faint and wavers, sometimes hard to grasp, but it exists. He sincerely doubts that this man has anything of the sort.

Takumi’s brow furrows at the god—he assumes that he’s a god, anyway—and turns away. ❝I don’t have time for you.❞ Whatever it is that he wants, he won’t offer it to him. He has bigger problems on his hands than getting wrapped up in another holy being’s insanity.

#sonofthemxrning #✮ TAKUMI┆i’ve created a monster; a hell within my head.#✮ UNDETERMINED┆the road may wander; it will lead me to you.#(( anankos isn't here ))#(( please leave a message after your headshot ))

Orochi┆Starter Call

The door is closed behind her, the sound of a set of locks clicking to keep the man that she’s visiting contained. A surge of anger directed at the Nohrians bubbles up in Takumi’s chest at the thought. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they can keep him contained…but it does mean that Orochi’s trapped with him.

Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. He’s emotional, and it shows in the way that his eyes glow and a purple mist doesn’t dissipate entirely. He doesn’t want to hurt Orochi. For all of her teasing and mocking that Takumi’s been subjected to over the years that he’s known her, he doesn’t hate her, and he doesn’t want to hurt her.

❝… What are you doing here…?❞ he finally manages to ask. ❝I told them that I didn’t want to see anyone.❞ He misses everyone from back home—both the living and the dead—but he can’t risk hurting them.

#serpentiique #✮ TAKUMI┆i’ve created a monster; a hell within my head.#✮ POST-CONQUEST┆when the rain goes; after the pain goes.#(( this just in: takumi doesn't actually hate orochi ))#(( more at 11:00pm ))

Cynthia┆Starter Call

❝You really, really ought to be more careful out there, you know.❞ Yarne’s rambling, occasionally stumbling and stammering over his words, but that’s nothing new. He’s busied himself with rubbing salves into Cynthia’s cuts and scrapes before bandaging them snugly. ❝Honestly, you could get yourself killed with all of those crazy stunts you were pulling out there….❞ Liking to show off and get theatrical is one thing but when you’re a pegasus knight surrounded by archers, it’s not a particularly life-preserving move.

Yarne eventually sighs, and pulls away. ❝H-how does that feel? It’s not too tight or anything, is it? Cutting off your circulation wouldn’t be any better than letting you get some sort of infection—❞

#heroismdreams #✮ YARNE┆everybody’s out to get me but i feel all right.#✮ AWAKENING┆i will save the songs that we can’t stop singing.#(( cynthia you gave him a concernicus ))#(( LOOK AT HIM ))#(( HE'S GOT ANXIETY ))

Veles┆Starter Call

Nishiki had never been particularly aware of societal norms. Perhaps that was why he was leaning so close, sniffing Veles and tilting his head back and forth as he examined him curiously. ❝You sure don’t look or smell like anybody I’ve seen before,❞ he eventually comments, as though this is a normal thing to say to a person.

He can tell that Veles isn’t human—at least not entirely. At the same time, he certainly isn’t like the spirits and monsters that Nishiki has met throughout his life. Are Nohrian yokai different than Hoshidan yokai? he wonders. Keaton is a little weird, after all, although maybe that’s just because he’s gross and doesn’t groom enough. To be fair to Wolfskin, Veles smells a lot like…dead things, but he’s clearly much more concerned about his appearance, which is a fact that Nishiki can appreciate.

Seeming to decide that he’s had a thorough enough examination, he finally pulls away, grinning. ❝So…what are you, exactly?❞

#diavoleste #✮ NISHIKI┆the bare necessities of life will come to you.#✮ REVELATION┆a change is overdue; let me show you something new.#(( save him from the socially inept fox ))#(( s a v e h i m ))

Corrin┆Starter Call

❝I really do think that you ought to invest into some sort of footwear, milady.❞ Respect for his liege’s decision to not wear shoes was one thing, but to allow her to cut up the soles of her feet and risk an infection of some sort was another entirely.

Jakob scrubbed the dirt away from the soles of Corrin’s feet with a wet, soapy towel, careful not to be too rough—she didn’t seem to have any sort of wounds that would cause her pain, but he didn’t wish to hurt her accidentally—but forcefully enough to truly clean them. ❝I know that you aren’t particularly fond of shoes, but running around a battlefield barefoot is much more dangerous than walking around the fortress’ halls.❞

#proeluim #✮ JAKOB┆i have the honor to be your obedient servant.#✮ UNDETERMINED┆the road may wander; it will lead me to you.#(( he doesn't want you getting hURT DRAGON CHILD ))

Elise┆Starter Call

Jakob isn’t entirely sure how long he’s spent actively ignoring Elise as the youngest Nohrian princess annoyingly tries to grab his attention away from his chores. He continues going about his business, perhaps offering up a, ‘Yes, Lady Elise,’ or an, ‘I see,’ in a vain attempt to placate her. Her words fall on ears that are more or less deaf, hearing, but not listening. Honestly, does she not have anyone better to bother? She makes it seem as though the clothes wash themselves. At least her elder siblings have the decency to bother him when he’s not so clearly occupied.

The quip in her voice indicates some sort of question—hope for a response—and Jakob can’t hold back his frustration (or the sigh that accompanies them) any longer. ❝Lady Elise,❞ he says, ❝I would be very appreciative if you could leave me to my tasks in peace.❞

#equilibrc #✮ JAKOB┆i have the honor to be your obedient servant.#✮ UNDETERMINED┆the road may wander; it will lead me to you.#(( jakob quit being such a d-d-d-douchebag ))

(( Okay, I sWEAR THAT I’M GOING TO START FORMATTING / POSTING STARTERS THAT I’VE OWED SINCE FOREVER NOW. ))

#✮ OOC┆pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.#(( i'm also changing my mun faceclaim to match my penname fucking finally right ))#(( i figured that using izana might get confusing once he's added as a muse so ))#(( moonchild it is because i love him and i have icons for him lying around anyway ))

Noire┆Starter Call

❝So the main ingredients you want in here are spinach, lettuce, and kale, okay? After that, you can add veggies like carrots or red onions, but stuff like sunflower seeds, almonds, and those sorts of things will also add more iron.❞

If there was anyone to go to in order to make sure that you were getting a healthy diet, it would be Yarne. Gods knew that he was obsessed with that. Noire was a good friend, so, of course, he wanted to see if there was any way for him to help her maintain her health a little better. As far as he was concerned, the quickest way to help with an iron deficiency was a good salad.

❝It’s not always easy to find these sorts of things on the road,❞ he admitted, ❝b-but I try to keep a good stock, you know? I could keep an eye out for you if you want.❞

#doucenuite #✮ YARNE┆everybody’s out to get me but i feel all right.#✮ UNDETERMINED┆the road may wander; it will lead me to you.

Kjelle┆Starter Call

Libra glanced up from his work at the sound of a familiar voice calling his name. When his eyes fell on his daughter, he smiled. ❝Hello, dear. Is there something you need? I’m afraid that I’m rather busy at the moment, but I can be with you shortly.❞

As one could often find Libra, he had a firm grip on an axe and piles of logs near him—one where the cylindrical pieces of wood had been split into fourths, and the other soon to meet the same fate. When one was traveling, one would always be in need of a campfire, or sometimes multiple, especially with a group as large as their own. Besides, as Libra so regularly did, he had taken it upon himself to assist those in a nearby town. There were quite a few establishments in need of some support.

❝Perhaps,❞ he said, positioning himself to resume his work, ❝you could move the cut wood to that cart over there and we could speak in the meantime. I can finish up here and help you quicker that way.❞

#sheguard #✮ LIBRA┆it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.#✮ AWAKENING┆i will save the songs that we can’t stop singing.
