Something sails through the air, a fussy, round-ish item with a blend of grey and peach. Harold's eyes watch as it fly with clear amusement, his faint, signature smirk on his lips. He expects her to catch it. "One of my patrons presented this to me in today's meeting." A laugh, loud, mocking, and piercing, as he gestures with a hand when it lands on her lap with clear intention: it's a 'gift' for her, or as close as a gift a Revivian would offer a lowly human being. "And hence, I am suddenly made aware this is how you humans court humour. Look at the little beast. I have no use for it, so you can have it. I believe my patron called it.... Labubu?" He shrugs. "Whatever that means. It's an awful tongue twister." [ from harold ]

" the hell... ? " you catch the errant object in a fist, turning it around to look at the doll. innocuous little thing; wide eyes and jagged teeth. - though you can never be too sure with harold. eyes narrow, " 's this a trick? did you put a tracking device in it or something? " shakes it, as if that'd reveal some device within. harold would be craftier than that. " ... it's cute though, so thanks. i guess. " even if it's useless to the revivian, it's cute trash. & you're keeping it.

Hannah Li

Name: Hannah Li (黎夏雅)

Age: Depending on the timeline, anywhere between 6 ~ 22. She is 21 years younger than Zayne.

Family: Zayne Li (@/cardiolog1st; biological father) Cynthia Li (biological mother) Jade Leech (@/muraenide; adoptive father)

Personality

Hannah heavily takes after Zayne. Even though she didn't know that Zayne was her biological father for a very long time, she felt an instant connection to him when they first met through an introduction via Jade. Hannah thinks of Jade as her role model even though she has an linking of what her adoptive father had done, and she holds an odd sympathy towards Zayne, thinking of him as closed off and someone who isn't willing to make connections to the world. When she was young she would occasionally press her ear on Zayne's door in an attempt to eavesdrop of what he's doing.

As an adult, ironically, Hannah grew up to closely resemble Zayne. She pursued a career in pathology and winds up becoming a detective working for the FBI's Violent Crime Against Children department (VCAC). Just like her father, she is a workaholic who was known to sleep in her office several days a week, keeping her toiletries in her own office to shower at her office as well. She's a frequent visitor of many orphanages, most of which orphaned children the VCAC have rescued were delivered to once their case closed.

Trivia:

Hannah is also a devout believer of the Faith. She frequently visits churches to pray for wisdom.

Hannah is avoidant about her childhood/background. She's reluctant to discuss her parentage with anyone, not even Zayne.

On paper Hannah is adopted by Jade but none of her biological parents are listed there.

NOTE: Since this character is exclusive to a specific Zayne it's not likely I will be writing her with other Zaynes unless under special circumstances. Extremely crossover and OC friendly!!!

ig jade is so soft compared to murray and harold 😔j still checks up on you if you've just had an argument and he really thinks about you from time to time too. meanwhile murray means what he says, the end is the end. and harold is the worst cause he can ever develop genuinely bonds with anybody.

─「ヴィラ」─  the lack of change in his emotions despite a rather personal inquiry posed to him told her quite a bit about what kind of person he was. never letting his guard down, never letting his thoughts nor feelings be perceived by others. what a troublesome commandant. even so, her internal comment didn't have any ill-intention laced within. his WORDS registered, though her crimson hues couldn't help the slight twitch over them. this one ...

                the CONSTRUCT walked over to the man, shortening the distance between them with long, confident strides. it was only when she could lean closer to the man, her eyes locking to his in close proximity that she broke the silence on her part.

                " what do you mean by someone better ? " her voice was level, steady, no hint of visible anger nor irritation, yet, perhaps, a hint of offense but not at herself directly. garnet hues held his gaze steadfastly. " the fact that you think it is your duty to protect your team, to protect the constructs and ensure our return to babylonia is the proof that i had made the right choice. " the GRAY RAVEN COMMANDANT was another topic altogether. she'd rather not get into that. at least not now. " we are the one with the duty to bring our commandant back to bablylonia. " her words were absolute. that was the order to all constructs. " perhaps you're forgetting the fact that to babylonia, constructs like us are replaceable. i would never choose someone with such a view as cerberus' commandant. "

                " doing me a favor ? don't make me laugh. i am not that desperate to settle for scraps, if that's what you think you are. you, who view constructs as equal to human is what i, we, need. " the only one she would trust no.21 and noctis with. " do not underestimate me. are we clear on that, commandant ? "

[revivianne]

There is a ripple of emotions in Murray's eye when the Cerberus Leader takes the first step forward. Whatever that emotion that is, it's difficult to tell. Even Murray himself feels a little... conflicted. His eyes can't help but narrows, yet there's not much he can do against a Construct. He's barely qualified against a normal human being.

❝You know what I mean, Vera.❞ His face doesn't betray any of his emotions. He doesn't feel that they are significant, anyway. ❝I heard you were on Tifa's case. Wouldn't want to be the one on the bed after you've been the person who turns off the switch... It would be ironic, wouldn't it? If I won't be there to unplug your life support.❞ He contemplates adding a soft 'haha' to the back of his sentence, but this is the most serious he's been in a long time.

❝If I left you with someone else, he won't be 'scraps' of course. It would be a disservice to my first ever squad in Kurono... My standards are high too, you know... don't devalue my judgement so quickly.❞ The smile returns. Emerald green eyes studies Vera for any similarly conflicting emotions.

mockingly, you reply, " what do you expect me to do, dear stephen? if i say anything out of line, they'll only crack down on your operation faster. " drags the letter opener across his throat, merely aiming to tease, even as the sharpness of the metal instrument threatens violence. sighs when that doesn't elicit any particular reaction; not what you were hoping for. settles for a glare before giving it to him straight. " you're stupid if you think they listen to me. the amo is a mess & you know it. they're desperate for a win after getting so thoroughly played. "

tilt a bland look at him. he's having fun isn't he: thinking he's got you on a leash, desperate for approval. you can't deny the attraction, yet that doesn't mean you won't sever the connection if it starts burning. ew, you're not that desperate. " as i recall, you were the one to stir the pot in the first place. my absence from the amo will only lead them to you quicker, so no more thinly veiled threats, alright? unless this is some interesting new way of foreplay i don't know about. if that's the case, then by all means ... "

[revivianne]

He offers her a gentle smile, and at the arrogance she carries into the air. It weights on it like no other Earthling's he's met on this pitiful planet since Amamiya Reiji's funeral. He lifts a singular finger only to stop just before the letter opener, pushing it millimetres away from his throat. Dawn must've be serious if she thinks this thing could be called a weapon in any shape or form. It's how he tells that she's not serious. ❝My, my ~ how pitiful.❞ He sizes himself up, straightening his back. Callous fingers taking her chin into his palms as soon as he's done pretending the letter opener was worth his attention to begin with. ❝You bark, and no one listens. It must be a terrible place to be for someone of your sentiments, isn't it? Shall I lift you from your miseries?❞

His face changes into one of pity, brows slanted to match the upturned curve on his face. He knows that she knows him, and the fact that he doesn't serve anyone. Though sometimes he wonders if she would feel any form of betrayal should she learn that Stephen isn't even his real name. All the layers wrapped up in papers like a gift, laid out for him to pick whichever he wishes to open at will. It's so much fun that he's honestly tempted to mourn that he feels his time on Earth is slowly drawing to a conclusive end.

❝I stir the pot?❞ A flurry of astonishment before it's gone in a blink. He laughs heartily, ❝My dear, dear Dawn. I requested, and you responded. It takes 'two to tango' as you humans are so fond of calling it. Don't blame it on me now. Unless, ah — what is that I hear? Such filthy words...❞ If that was a trick he was impressed by her ability to play it well. What was it humans called? To marry for love? The concept is so foreign to him he might as well treat it like an alien language he has no knowledge of. But Harold can't deny that it's a human's thing. Something that didn't quite exist in Revivia. He fits a thumb into her lip, pushing through a row of teeth. ❝You horny girl. And here I thought you were never interested since you never extended an invitation... Shall I relieve you from a different pain instead?❞

[revivianne]

I call this blog a multi but unfortunately, all these time Harold has been dominating the braincell :/c his muse is always the strongest while Murray is a close second but they're also the muses on here that has the most similar temperament to Jade... dkjskdf

Xie Jie Liu Bo (蝎揭留波)

For ease of reference, he will be referred to as Scorpion or Xiezi, alternatively Scorpion King or Xiewang. Please note that this version of Scorpion King is exclusive to the drama adaptation Word of Honor, not the novel counterpart Faraway Wanderers.

Other names: Xie'er

Family:

Zhao Jing (Godfather)

Specific canons:

1. Xue Yanqiang (Sylvain written by @inglacial) is Xiewang's second-in-command within the Scorpion Assassination Guild. Similar to who Han Ying is to Zhou Zishu.

Backstory:

As a child, Xiezi was adopted by Zhao Jing as one of his many godsons, whom Zhao Jing sees as tools to achieve his ultimate goal as the leader of the Five Lake Alliance and possibly the entire Jianghu.

Groomed and manipulated by Zhao Jing since he was a child, Xiezi is fiercely loyal to Zhao Jing. He's unperturbed by his plans going haywire or disrupted, as long as his Godfather's goals are achieved. Xiezi grows into becoming a master assassin, leading an association called the Scorpions and executing Zhao Jing's dirty work so that his Godfather could continue acting as the saint of Jianghu, gathering people who would nomimate him as the next leader of the Five Lakes Alliance as he schemes for the downfall of Gao Chong.

However, in truth, Xiezi developed an unrequited crush on his Godfather. Even after knowing that Zhao Jing plans to dispose of him once he achieves his goal, since he is a 'dirty secret' that would ruin his name, Xiezi was still unable to bring himself to kill his Godfather as he did many others. In the end, Xiezi allied with Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing in exposing Zhao Jing and his schemes in exchange for leaving Zhao Jing to his care after his Godfather's fall from grace.

@dev1l // cont

"You certainly don't, do you? How confident ~" What an arrogant a woman. He adds wordlessly. She should be relieved that he's decided against holding her accountable for the amount of losses he's sustained in the raid. The AMO truly had no mercy, confiscating everything and everyone who happened to be there, Touya including. Not that Harold would grief over any of those losses, but he can't help being an arrogant man as well. "But you know how annoyed it makes me to have vermin sniffing over my property. If you're trying to provoke me, it's unduly working. Do keep a tighter leash on your canines, my dear Dawn."

He can't help but lifts an eyebrow at her last words. Oh, to think the AMO doesn't even trust themselves...? Well, how unsurprising. When Amamiya was here his squads certainly would have laid their lives down for him. The realization that accidentally killing the man and putting this woman in his position has served him greater good makes a sly smile flash across his face. "Oh? Are they suspicious of you now? How unfortunate. But that does indeed sound like a you problem, isn't it? Your lack of discreet has nothing to do with me."
