#about. keith

[diianthus]

Keith is not above listing all your flaws and insecurities. He's very perceptive and studies people he's talking to (and even those nearby!) even if they pose no immediate threat. Call him paranoid or extremely cautious, but it goes back to his upbringing.

Before getting raised by his mentor as an assassin - he had to be wary around his birth parents. Both who were mortified by his affinity with magic as it manifested in him after a high fever. They kept him locked away, far from any extended family, and planned to dispose of him.

How? Well, he was never informed. But he assumed it had something to do with a certain controversial project that supposedly shut down years before his birth.

What would each muse's kiss taste like?

| anon. // old. unprompted.

prepare for some (bad) poetry because i honestly can’t think in coherent sentences. 

autumn. | he tastes so sweet, so pleasurable. he tastes exactly the way you want a polite partner to with his tongue weaving the right words and chanting them like a prayer onto yours - so full and blessed but with enough lust to make you dance on the very fine line of chastity and sin. if you wish for it, he’ll indulge you, but you won’t feel the warm of a lover. he tastes like a flowery tea, so inviting and relaxing, but will leave you bitter. 

lucina. | she tastes of iron and desire. unyielding as she battles you for dominance, a mouthful of authority, as assures that you’re hers and she’s yours. but you know better than that - she’s only yours for the night and leaves you yearning for a heat that had you wrapped around her finger. a wildness that refuses to be tamed, but once you get her to see you as her equal, she’ll enrich you with a dark chocolate, drops of whiskey to further intoxicate you and have you coming back for more. 

keith. | he tastes of grief and cruelty. it’s a battle between you and the monsters lurking behind him - a devilish kind of trick, one that surprises you with the gradual change of flavor. he doesn’t give the same kiss twice, but they all have a lingering sense of death, lurking at the corner and ready to strike. he keeps you on your toes, challenging you to either dominate him or for you to surrender. there’s no victors here, not when there’s so much bitter sweetness strangling your taste buds and you have no idea who he is by the end of it. 

lala. | her taste is so uncertain, so clumsy, still stumbling over the steps towards adulthood and wondering if it’s right for someone like her. she indulges in sugary foods, of soft bites and nips, daring to be mature but still too naive to know what that means and so - she goes for sharp. but it’s not sharp enough and her kisses taste of the kind of tarts that a queen adores but a knave was foolish enough to steal from, unaware of how meaningful they are to her. 

vito. | once you’ve accepted, you can’t escape - not with such an overwhelming surprising flavor of sweet but still matured. he’s seasoned, knowing, the mature a lover who’s gone through the passion and has been lost to it. but with that knowledge of collected experience, he’s still careful, adding the necessary sweetness to invite those who are not used to his strong bite, softening them with tenderness and affectionate murmurs. 

carin. | lost in anxiety and apprehension, if someone were to mistake her as prey, they wouldn’t have time to consider their famous last words. she’s defensive, not one to sweeten her gestures nor flatter with flowery scents. she’s raw and vengeful and even the slightest of touches can set her ablaze in fury. if you were to ever taste her lips, they’d be of ashes and blood - robust but in a way to terrify anyone from coming too close. 

amelia. | decisiveness and selective. her tongue dances between the sweetness of syrup, lathering you with fantastical scenarios of a content future, only to relinquish you of such fantasies - reminding you of the cynical truth with an astringent mark to your neck. it is temporary, however, with your senses affected by the overwhelming want of the syrupy happily ever after but the acknowledgement of the bitter reality that she’ll never be anyone’s fairy tale ending.

childhood profiles! ver. boys side!

ALARIC “AUTUMN” GLAISYER

AGE: teens - late teens

BIO: taken in by a former employer hired by his father, Alaric went from riches to rags in the time span of a few days, but he found that he was a lot happier out of the estate. While he’s not close to his current guardian, he still tries to be helpful around the household and will often run errands for her and their neighbors. Unfortunately, because of the treatment back home, he doesn’t seem to take care of himself much and appears smaller and weaker than the average child his age. He also has a habit of wandering outside the small town he lives in and usually returns disheveled and exhausted - perhaps it has something to do with the strange tempests happening recently.

LIAM “VITO” EIRIAN

AGE: teens - late teens

BIO: the older brother of a pair of young twin siblings. As the eldest, he helps his parents around the house and would often accompany his parents to their workplace at their clinical research labs. He hopes to aide them in the technical aspect and was self-studying while attending high school. When his parents work late, he ends up taking care of the household and raising his siblings. He’s usually out with his siblings to do grocery shopping or to let them play in the park with his friends. 

KEITH RHODORA 

AGE: adolescence - early teens

BIO: son to a pair of mysterious benefactors who trained him after his early graduation from the private school he grew up in. He keeps his past family life under lock and key and is prone to acting more childish than others his age, often playing pranks or messing with people older than him. Keith is more than meets the eye, however, as he’s able to hold his own in a fight, manipulate time within an unspecified radius, and has connections with a lot of sketchy organizations that would grovel at his feet if given the chance.

What are their sleeping habits?

@armaxlucis / character questions. / long replies so under read more.

autumn. who needs sleep when you can stare blankly in the darkness and maybe get a few minutes every few hours. aside from that, he’s a workaholic so he hardly sleeps, but he somehow looks awake and refreshed. when he does sleep, it’s either because he’s really sick or severely wounded. either that, or he took sleeping pills. he sometimes sleep talks. 

lucina. she sleeps at later hours but is the type to wake up early regardless. she doesn’t like sleeping in, thinking it’s a waste of the day to do so. the type to sleep still and usually doesn’t get many dreams. if she’s sleep besides someone, you’ll probably wake up to see her close besides you. 

keith. he takes naps throughout the day, but he never gets the recommended eight or nine hours of sleep. when he does sleep, it’s possibly because someone is with him and he can feel secure. though when given the day off, he’ll sleep in when he can until someone calls for him. the type to take up the whole bed if he’s allowed. 

lala. the type to cuddle with someone if they sleep beside her. she’s not afraid to sleep in public either - so long as someone she trusts is with her - and she’ll lean against their arm. she can only feel comfortable if she’s surrounded by pillows or stuffed animals. the clingy type.

vito. if he’s in bed with a partner, you can bet he won’t let go of them. unless they wake him up then he’ll let go, but good luck; he’s kind of a deep sleeper. depending on what kind of work he’s doing, he either goes to bed around 10pm or 4am. there’ll also be times he stays awake the whole night and sleep will be the last thing on his mind. 

carin. the type to sleep while watching tv or can even sleep standing. she doesn’t have a regular sleeping schedule, so it’s difficult to know when she takes a break. often, you can find her passed out at the bar. she’s a light sleeper, though, so the smallest sound can wake her up to full alertness. will typically sleep in street clothes. 

amelia. she sleeps in the morning and is the type who will sleep on anything comfortable. she’s a night owl, so if you wake her up, she’s the type to be really irritable. her sleeping habits are usually sleeping in whatever work clothes she came in and being comfortable, or stripping down to the bare minimums and throwing her covers on top. wake her up and you’ll get an earful of colorful insults.

forte. sleeps with no preference, but he prefers sleeping in his own bed. he’ll be reluctant sleeping anywhere else, but he’ll force himself if it’s necessary. doesn’t do anything out of the norm, but he tends to stay up late and doesn’t like waking up early. he’ll usually sleep on his side, clutching a pillow though.

What are their favorite foods / taste?

@armaxlucis / character questions. / long replies so will be under read more.

autumn. he doesn’t have a preference or favorite actually! anything that’s easy and quick to eat is preferred though as he doesn’t have much of an appetite... he also finds it kind of tedious so you might find him eating something too light to be considered a meal.

lucina. she loves savory type foods. there’s no favorite as she usually mixes a lot of her foods together - something that confuses people to no end - and adds in a ton of spices that could burn a person’s tongue off. she has a very unique taste palette which influences her cooking...so be wary is what i’m saying.

keith. he likes foods that are sour, but overall, has a very healthy balanced diet. though as a friendly reminder, he’s vegetarian, but he won’t let that bother anyone. similar to autumn, he prefers having light meals, but will ensure that they have substance and takes great care of what he eats. his favorite food would be kimchi when it’s sour or a little sweet. 

lala. loves sweet foods!! her favorite foods are either fresh fruit or cakes. she has a childish palette, possibly to make up for the fact that she grew up eating lots of bitter ‘elegant’ foods prior to her life with keith and the others.

vito. also very fond of sweets. his favorite foods have to be breakfast foods, especially with pancakes. he’ll eat breakfast type meals whenever he wants, so long as no one’s there to stop him. 

carin. loves loves loves spicy foods! it doesn’t really effect her, so she usually gets excited when someone’s cooking is able to surprise her. she has a big appetite and can usually be found snacking in the house. for some reason, she doesn’t eat sweets very often...

amelia. she likes things that are bitter. you can find her eating plants she cleaned up. usually flowers or wild grass - anything edible. as for her favorite food, she likes coffee - black and bitter as possible. 

forte. really likes salty foods. he loves sea food, especially octopus, so he was very pleased to govern a seaside city. spicy foods don’t bother him, but he won’t eat them very very often. he doesn’t like sweets all that much due to someone’s influence.
