greetings im yuri and i come bearing a nerd🖖.......his name is doyoon aka change --- a shapeshifter, ha. he’s the biggest nerdiest nerd there ever was. anyway bio is here and plots will be under the cut, heres all u need to know tho: (like this to plot?or....im on discord @ osh#9308 x)
doyoon (aka change) -- 23, shapeshifter
a libra
poor control of his powers...virtually useless....can only turn into a grandma or a child
pushover doormat shove him against a locker step on his throat all that
wears glasses b/c his eyesight is inconsistently wonky....he’s as clumsy as he is big
very keep to himself awkward aloof doesnt know what to do with his hands or where to look when he’s talking to someone kind of guy
trying his best
his life in a nutshell: orphan ofc he is.....bullied all through his life, was homeless for a couple of years before xavier took him in, HES HERE NOW<3
plots!!!! these are some preset plots off the top off my head B U T i’d love to brainstorm things w/ u all to shape his experience at the school and make it more idk personal, like he’s being given a clear slate here but he still doesnt know what to do with it u know.....so like is he still gonna be the ugly duckling or are people gonna be nice to him or whats gonna happen he just doesnt know yet!
also fair warning that the stronger the connection w/ him(either negative or pos), the more likely he is to develop the ability to copy someone’s form so....,much to think about. without further ado:
mi casa esu casa: the one or three friends he somehow managed to make while he was virtually homeless. they gave him a place to stay, maybe some food. you might not remember him. he might have come to you as a 60 year old nun or a chubby 6 year old child, neither of whom look like him at all. but he remembers you all too well.
off putting: first actual friend he made at xavier. you initiated, of course, with a hello or how are you or do you want to have lunch? you were all too friendly and he was all too quiet. and although it went all too well, it freaked him out that someone was being so so so nice. out of the blue, he just started avoiding you
bad lands: people aren’t inherently good -- it’s an idea that doyoon tosses around. sometimes, he likes to think it’s a lie. but then people like you come along, shoving and pulling and pushing, and he starts thinking about it again. (id love a mean prank type of thing during any one of the school events tbh......like bus prank or homecoming prank idk something publicly humiliating and mean spirited is the vibe here....)
hike: on a whim, or because you don’t have friends as well, you decide to go with him to the city. subsequently, his sense of direction and street smarts exceed your expectations (which were: none.)
quiet: you sit in comfortable silence, and you might be the best friend he’s ever had.
uncharted: love!!! feelings!!! what is it????!!??!? he has never felt it before!!!! he’s very much the type to be so shaken up by someone being nice to him that he overthinks it and gives himself problems. so this could just be a nice one sided someone being nice to him and hes being in his head about it, or someone actually liking him, or....idk w/e its something ab soft feelings.
innocently, softly: youre not malicious, maybe you even actually like him. but you’re a big personality and he’s just a wee cricket waiting to be smashed under your shoe -- gladly, though. (a rel to emphasize how much of a pushover he actually is tbh)
why are you me, im me: he likes pictures and buildings and baked goods....somehow you like a lot of the same things.
Hello lovelies, it’s so great to meet you all~. You can call me Tay, and this is my son Dohyun/Sungjong :3! I can’t wait for you all to meet my him! His about page and power explanation page are both up and running! I’m currently trying to piece together a plots page (ineedmorecoffee), but until then here are a few points about Dohyun~
TL;DR Bio Points
Born and raised in England by his parents (both Korean citizens who had moved there for work related purposes)
First discovered there was something different about him when he was 8 years old, while playing monopoly with a group of friends
Secretly researched and practiced his craft, taking care to keep it a secret from his parents (who made it more than clear that they didn’t approve of mutants)
First began slipping into a darker lifestyle at age sixteen when they moved back to South Korea. Snuck out of the house and frequented illegal gambling organizations as a means to practice his craft
Moved away and cut ties from his parents once he amassed enough money from his winnings
Soon became consumed with greed and the desire to win, leading him to make riskier and more questionable bets. This caused him to live more dangerously and recklessly
His last match up resulted in tragedy when he noticed his powers didn’t seem to work against his opponent. This caused him to grow increasingly frustrated and resulted in his powers working against him.
Joined the academy to avoid legal repercussions, learn more about his powers, and figure out how he can further develop them.
Character Fun Facts~
Has a collection of dice that he has been keeping ever since he moved back to South Korea, and he never leaves home without one tucked safely in his pocket (he may or may not coordinate his outfits to match the die in his pocket).
As a result of his teen years, he has a sizable fortune tucked away, but takes care not to flaunt or use it (he became quite paranoid after his little accident)
Despite his efforts not to, he admits to sometimes using his ability to turn minor inconveniences in his favor (such as skipping ahead in line, or tricking a vending machine into giving him two candy bars instead of one)
hiiiii, hello hello! so this is rosé with my first son song daehyun, aka plague. as always, i suck at introducing myself so i’m going to jump straight into the intro. as usual, if you would like to plot, come and click the like button! or if you have discord, i’ll be at rosé.#6236, which is a better way of contacting me. i also have twitter and you can ask for the username. trigger warnings for the content below: mental illnesses, parental death, parental neglect, implied murder. also, this is going to be long, so brace yourself and prepare some popcorn.
000. born to a mother that passed during the labor, he was raised by a single father who was never quite there, often found mourning over the death of his wife. seemingly blamed his son for it, although jongin inherited some of his mother’s looks, which caused his father to pay occasional attention towards him, in the most distanced ways possible.
001. he started developing a sense of hallucination, seeing his mother as an imaginary friend, which was scratched off as something typical of a child. this worsened to the point where he fought his peers over being called out for hallucinating his mother. untreated, this apathetic tendency never reached his father until it was too late, in a sense, and that was the beginning of the fracture in his sanity.
002. his ability began to manifest at the age of eight, and the first time was how fresh flowers wilted under his touch. he blamed it on the darkness that surrounded him, thinking that he was haunted. paranoia infected him, and his father disregarded the fact that his son grew even less and less coherent by day, making him pretend he was normal whenever guests came around. being an heir to a multibillion company, he was turned into a puppet on strings for his father’s convenience, left in the backstage whenever the limelight was over.
003. hallucination continued, and abilities blossomed as he grew up. it took him years to comprehend the mechanism of his own powers, experimenting through touch onto the beggars that he seemed to pity. when the beggars died of mysterious diseases, he started to understand, and he thought he was doing them a favor, for there was no use living such pitiful lives. and that was when he realized how his mind had disintegrated, alongside the hallucination and paranoia.
004. when he was fourteen, he began to deviate, forming atypical moralities. he differentiated himself from the rest of his friends, experiencing the pit of his illnesses to the point where he eventually broke. this tipping point was when he became unfeeling, and started pretending. when he was brought to a therapist, it was too late. he never attended the next sessions, hiding behind fake smiles and false truths.
005. eighteen, and he basically transformed into a full-fledged malice. he still battled with himself, trying to salvage what little was left from his humanity, but the violence streaks simply triumphed over the smidgens of his morality. this was when he started terrorizing people without them realizing, spreading diseases unprompted. the idea of becoming “plague” didn’t develop until he was around twenty, however.
006. and a year later, he started donning the plague doctor attire whenever he needed his “release”, walking around the city to spread unnecessary terrors. at this point, his powers have developed so much that he didn’t need direct touch to spread diseases anymore, although certain physiologies still required it. twenty-two, he was still doing his round as “plague” while harnessing his powers, as well as scopes of self-defense that his powers do not cover. he knows, nevertheless, that his powers corrode his mind, and he doesn’t truly let the fact perturb him. eventually accepted the enrollment offer to xavier’s considering that he’s been found out by them, he ensures his father that he’ll return to his responsibilities after his schooling is over.
007. living up to his alias, kim jongin is a plagued mind through and through. the state of his mental and moral is currently questioned, even by himself, and the truths about his own abilities do not help but faltering his own beliefs in regards to his sanity. this, however, bothers him less and less by day, and it’s indubitable that he’s over halfway to succumbing towards this instability. amoral, apathetic, atrophic.
008. he relishes in schadenfreude, liking the facts that he can make other people suffer, although on the front he would be anything but. charming to the point where some would think he’s genuinely a kind soul, he is twisted with a lot of lies spilled easily from his mouth. a complex personality, he’s often seen as a friend by many, an enemy by some. as “plague”, he was fully disguised in the plague doctor attire, that many do not seem to know his true identity.
009. also a cunning intellectual, he’s made of a lot of tricks to sate his violent mentalities. he is not above simple blackmailing, disguising it as various kindness, although the motives behind it are anything but. he enjoys moments with fellow intellectuals, talking about anything and everything. has an open view of the world, although he’s certainly opinionated, although he doesn’t push his opinions on others.
omg HELLO everyone i’m so excited to be here!!! ok so my name is liv, i’m 19 & in the gmt-2 timezone AND this is my baby boy SIWON uwu he’s a dear honestly..... kind of overexcited about most things and extremely clumsy and awkward but his ability is flight so it’s likely that he will NOT seem like the same person when he’s on air ( bc there’s nothing for him to trip on lmao ) ANYWAYS i do not have any wanted connections just yet ( i’ll have some soon...... hopefully ) but you can find his stats HERE and his full background/info HERE ( or in the nav page in siwon’s blog, which can’t be linked ). also, i’ve summed up a bit of everything you do need to know about siwon under the cut, so if you wanna plot with us, like this post and i’ll come to you. also, if you prefer to talk over discord, you can find me at fox#3071 & that’s all! ♡
tw: mention of parental death.
siwon was born and raised in seoul by his father, since his mom died while giving birth to him
his dad also has the same ability as him; flight. he was the one who taught siwon everything he needed to know as to not accidentally use his ability in public or just crash onto a neighbor’s wall or anything like that
siwon has slightly above average control of his ability because of the many MANY lessons his father gave him, because he himself didn’t have anyone to teach him when he was a little kid
according to his dad, his grandmother also was a mutant, but her ability was enhanced speed, which translated a bit on how fast both siwon and his father turned out to be
he’s extremely fast while flying through the air, but on the ground, he’s got some issues. ever since he was a little kid, he never had much luck with moving around freely, bumping into things a lot and falling on his face more than once ( which involved a lot of crying ), and during those moments his father could only wonder if he was also a mutant, just like himself
he sure as hell doesn’t know what to do with his feet when they’re planted on the ground, so he can often be seen just slightly floating a few centimeters above it, which has actually prevented a lot of incidents
he’s very smart regarding school things, but he’s not as street smart as he probably should be. being raised out in the middle of nowhere and having few friends hasn’t made it so he can freely talk to new people, but he does his best. although, he enjoys people-watching and is just generally interested in everyone’s lives ( not in the gossip meaning of things )
OVERALL, just imagine a child who’s started learning how to walk and then suddenly the child shoots up into the sky and does fifteen consecutive back flips. that’s literally siwon
he’s a darling and seems a bit naive most of the time but he does not take anyone’s shit
greetings everyone! my name is vicky, i’m in gmt and i am happy to introduce to you all my new muse jeon jaehyun aka clover. i have yet to manage the wonders of getting up a plot page, but i do have an about and a background for you to peruse through at your own time and i’ll also leave some other stuff under the cut you can read through as well. i would love to plot with all of you! so do make sure to give me a poke if you want to thread.
currently 18, though tbh he’s nineteen on the 17th so let’s just say he’s 19
the luckiest bastard you will ever meet #thankyoumutation
aka he has luck manipulation and is just generally a very lucky person without even trying
his whole family died when he was seven, he survived because #luck and was adopted two months later because, again #luck
golden boy, hard worker in school, ex-class president of his high school, loved by teachers and classmates alike
no, he can’t make you lucky or share some of his luck so STOP ASKING. no, he also won’t win the lottery for you, either.
no one ever wants to play cards with him or play games of chance because 99.9% of the time he will win
had no idea he was even a mutant until he was approached by a scout from the school telling him so
basically just a good kid who wants to be friends with everyone
still planning a hard working at all his classes and can usually be found asleep on top of a textbook somewhere
don’t bring up his birth parents or he’ll start crying because he as now realised he’s probably responsible for one of them dying seeing as he survived with very little in the way of injuries
‘why won’t you love me?’
has mastered the look of a kicked puppy when something doesn’t go his way
beep, beep. this is rosé again, coming with my second son, hwang mino aka nox! i’m also the mun of daehyun in case people are wondering. so, in comparison, mino here is the sweetheart notwithstanding the tsundere tendencies... compared to daehyun who’s like, the spawn of satan. he has shadow manipulation and is roomed in 101. if you’d like to plot, please like this and i’d message you from daehyun’s account to make it less confusing for me since i have a small attention span. my discord is rosé.#6236 if you’d like to add! now, onto the background since his biography is kind of... cryptic. trigger warnings that apply: suicide, parental neglect, infidelity, violence, and mental illnesses.
he’s an only son and at the age of three, one of his first memories was of watching his mother commit infidelity with another man. he didn’t decipher it until his teenage year, when he understood what sex was, but by that time the family has been too fractured for him to do anything about it since his father knew about it.
his father is also a mutant that is against revealing himself to the world, so he shied away from the idea of forming xavier’s in seoul even when he had the means to do so, to join forces with the rest of the mutants. mino, on the other hand, found his gift when he was around twelve, and has been harnessing his power in silence since. he didn’t know about his father’s gift until recently — he never tells his father about his either in fear of being shunned.
and along that vein, his father is a workaholic, letting him be whatever he wanted to be. he joined the wrong crowd at sixteen, and began his venture with underground fighting since then. he’s more lithe than he is brute, and it carries until now. he was good enough at controlling his power so as not to accidentally use it against his opponents. at the end of his school year, his mother committed suicide after long-strained relationships in the family, and that threw him off the loop for a while.
when he finally got his shit together after he graduated high school, he decided to pursue a career in digital arts, which he did out of leisure, since he didn’t know what else he was interested in. he took a gap year in-between to travel with his father’s hard-earned money ( well, his father is $$$ ), before returning to seoul.
there was a period of relapse where he eventually succumbed to underground fighting again. he was approached by xavier’s very early in june 2018, and didn’t really know what to do with it. he let the offer stay there for a while until he accepted it in december.
⌕ . ˚ ⅋. 「 jung hoyeon. thirty. cis woman. she/her/hers. 」 kang min-ji was recruited as a phantom for the libertalia nine years ago and was given the codename: calypso for their devoted but indignant behavior, typical for the scorpio. while preparing for a heist they listen to she’s my collar by gorillaz and don’t dare to leave without their most trusted item: a golden choker necklace centered with an uncut ruby.
hi, hello ! my name is lauryn and i use she/her/hers as pronouns. i'm twenty-three and i'm currently in the cst timezone ! below i have an expanded tldr for min-ji, and a massive biography linked at the way bottom if you'd like to know more ! i know introductions can be overwhelming, so i tried to condense info as much as i could ! to try and make matters a little easier, i've also linked a connections page below that has some ideas. thanks in advance and i'm so excited to be writing with everyone !
⸻ ┊ 0 0 1 › min-ji was born in fort pierce, florida. her parents were basically mariners and weren't prepared for a kid, financially or otherwise. to keep the family afloat, her parents worked a lot and min-ji was often left in the care of others. this left min-ji with little surveillance and a lot of independence from a young age.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 2 › grew up around lots of water and learned not to make a ruckus. quietly acted out by stealing, which she got really good at doing. sadly, min-ji had to really be the one to look out for herself in her childhood. she became very sneaky as a result, and loved to see what she could get away with.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 3 › her desire to figure things out and trick the public culminated in reading mystery novels and lock picking. she snuck off to the port a lot and was more conspicuous but had less surveillance as she got older. min-ji also made a friend! his name was mateo
⸻ ┊ 0 0 4 › cue heartfelt tale of childhood friends with similar circumstances and interests. then, min-ji and mateo started doing delinquent stuff and spent a lot of time at the port. eventually, they met william jr, an older teen who did boat tours. BAM get rich quick scheme: find blackbeard's treasure
⸻ ┊ 0 0 5 › william sr got in on this and what started out as a dumb idea actually got super serious (tons of context and logistics in the biography + a heck of an adventure story) eventually, the group took off to north carolina after min-ji graduated.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 6 › they eventually found blackbeard's treasure on portsmouth island following a wild adventure where each member had a specific role. min-ji's role was mostly gathering funds in the early stages by illegal means, and later getting the group through difficult places without getting spotted.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 7 › north carolina laws say you can't keep treasure, so they stashed some away for themselves and fenced/laundered it through a shady lawyer that also represented them in their legal case to have a legal claim on the treasure that they left behind. the other three members of the group were pretty hellbent on having some notoriety from their finding and doing the right thing which is why they didn't take it all for themselves... min-ji, not so much
⸻ ┊ 0 0 8 › after this, the group went their separate ways and min-ji felt abandoned. she began committing robberies out of bitterness and playing that old childhood game of how much can she get away with, and it turns out... a lot. but she was lonely and sad. the group lost their legal battle and edward teach's treasure was left in possession of the state of north carolina.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 9 › at that point, the group reunited for a drink and min-ji admitted to her recent criminal activities. she was chastised for it and the wills + mateo admitted that they parted ways because they had trouble dealing with the guilt and fear that came from their stolen treasure and subsequent criminal activities. min-ji seemed to seek out these situations and she was angry at them, and angry at the system that failed her.
⸻ ┊ 0 1 0 › the day after the case was settled, she was recruited for the libertalia (age 21). she accepted within a day after being given assurances of the legitimacy of the group. min-ji joined because she wanted to belong and feel valued and use her talents. she missed being a part of something. and she was good at what she did!
⸻ ┊ 0 1 1 › in the nine years since then, min-ji has really grown up. she enjoys being a part of the group and thrives in her position. a mentor took her under their wing and really honed her skills. her strengths lie in gear-oriented things like climbing, as well as traversing security-heavy, cramped, or difficult to navigate paths undetected. she is happier nowadays, naturally charismatic and playful. min-ji can be soft spoken before you get to know her. has a reputation for scaring people by sneaking up on them and messing with people when she's bored. she is a sneaky (kinda manipulative) gal and a wonderful ally, but a horrible enemy to have.
PERSONALITY . . .
⸻ ┊ 0 0 1 › min-ji is a menace. they’re destructive and often don’t have the best moral compass, so they tend to do things for themselves or those that they’re loyal to. she can also come off as a little angsty at times. she has a narrow world view in the way that people that don’t matter to her, they don’t matter at all. her childhood was rocky and involved absent parents, and all she really wants is to fit in. the libertalia has been a dream in that regard, and min-ji is fully devoted to the group as a whole, and its members. if you ever need to hide a body, she’s your gal.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 2 › when she does find people that she cares about, min-ji is compassionate and doting. she will often act playful and easygoing around familiar faces. while min-ji may have bad intentions as a whole, her intentions when it comes to her friends are pure and wholesome. her kindness is highly selective. though a lot of her socializing is often about what she can get out of it, she tries to make sure others have their needs met as well. in a way, people are just entertainment to her, but they are necessary in order to keep her content and relatively well behaved.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 3 › min-ji’s demeanor can change depending on who she is interacting with. if she isn’t familiar with them, she is more likely to be standoffish. min-ji can also come off as a little weird, as she isn’t afraid to speak her mind or act how she would like to. sometimes this involves pranking or scaring people for her own amusement. she possesses a confidence and self-awareness that has led to a strong knowledge of her own identity. as a result, tearing her down or trying to manipulate her isn’t likely to work. min-ji, herself, can be incredibly manipulative, and enjoys messing with people and making them squirm.

BACKGROUND . . .
[ ! ] TRIGGER WARNING : infertility, emotional child abuse, mention of intentional self-poisoning and running away, theft, divorce mention of addiction
⸻ ┊ 0 0 1 › islan is from hiawassee, georgia. she was a miracle baby as her parents had struggled to conceive for years. her birth was celebrated by locals and friends with affluent gifts and praise. she was dubbed a wonder child: a miraculous conception who hit each infant milestone early, was always in good spirits, and was even born with teeth. people swore that islan's presence brought them luck, a superstition that her parents would cling to.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 2 › her parents were professors, and insisted on homeschooling islan as education in hiawassee was average. she was offered proper socialization, and thrived in her early years of academics. superstitious witnesses claimed that islan used all of her good luck on her early years, as she hit a standstill around the age of seven. her previously quick progression was stunted, and her status as an anomaly was dwindling. with this, her parents' interest dwindled, as well. it appeared her parents had been more interested in what islan could provide for them than what they could provide for her. her "fortune-giving" abilities seemed to stand still with her progress. islan would later recall three distinct stages to her adolescence: the golden days, the grey days, and the red days. these were the grey days.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 3 › her red days offered chaos and misfortune. contrary to her past, islan was locally regarded as a bad luck charm in her teenage years following unfortunate events that happened in her presence. she also began acting out in an appeal for her parents' attention. islan magnetized people and adversity in equal amounts. her parents' indifference evolved to resentment, and islan was given harsh curfews in an attempt to stave off the bad luck. her seclusion bred rebellion, and islan began dating a neighbor in secret. the relationship lasted six months before islan was caught, and was no longer allowed to leave the house without parental company.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 4 › this led to islan's chain of attempts to sneak out, each thwarted as her misery increased. more info on specifics of these things in big bio but things got bad, then she went through a period of acceptance. and then she was done accepting her circumstances. a carefully devised plan involving intentional self-poisoning and safe cracking offered her freedom, a successful means of running away. she fled to ocala, florida.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 5 › ocala provided independence, liberation, freedom. it was the birthplace of islan's criminal proclivities. perhaps emboldened by her years of stealth in her hometown, she started small. she began pickpocketing locals, stealing from shops. islan also obtained her ged, a waitressing job, and a drivers license here. she weaponized her magnetizing nature, finding a thrill in convincing others to assume risk for her when it came to thievery. islan was angry at the world for her mistreatment. after attention placed on her grew too conspicuous, islan returned to her hometown in search of closure. she also began to experience a crisis of identity between a teenager who experienced childlike wonder and a young adult capable of finding joy in thievery and manipulation.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 6 › her return did offer some degree of closure, and she left six months later to bed-stuy with her forbidden first love, arlo. the novelty of their romance wore off quickly for islan, and he grew concerned and tired of her growing criminal presence and activities. she realized she romanticized things too heavily, which is a common theme no matter the part of her life, and he left shortly after they had moved in together. blah blah blah many details but islan really became thief woman in this time and led her own expert heist/thief crew that pulled increasingly risky and lucrative jobs at her direction. her notoriety in the underground grew and she got her offer to join the libertalia at the age of twenty-one
⸻ ┊ 0 0 7 › the beginning was more focused on honing existing skills and creating new ones. islan was a natural in many fields and highly adaptable and willing. she was a master of her craft in no time and really threw herself into the libertalia. when she was twenty-six, she started to crave a little bit more of a normal life, so she stopped primarily staying on bases and letting her role consume her life. she got a bungalow in london, made friends, did her own lil criminal things, manipulated more people, indulged in her wealth, and wanted to find a partner. she did when she was 30.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 8 › within a year, islan had eloped in canada with her new wife, jade. happy love times + nice marriage and great addition to her life. it was also around this time that islan advanced to take a place in the captain's crew. jade and islan wanted to start a family through surrogacy, with islan designated to carry the child as jade had no interest in pregnancy. but numerous fertility experts conveyed to islan that she wouldn't be able to carry a child to term, and islan also began to realize she was romanticizing the life of being a mother. it wasn't actually something she wanted. so, when jade mentioned adoption, it caused a rift and islan was adamant in not having children. jade grew to be resentful, while islan wanted to work through things. a little bit before their fourth wedding anniversary, jade took off with part of islan's personal fortune and was never heard from again. this left islan fragmented.
⸻ ┊ 0 0 9 › the divorce took two and a half years, as jade vanished. islan really took a turn for the worse: working out excessively and partaking in underground fighting, coercing people for sport to a higher degree, developing a penchant for wanton violence, and struggling heavily with addiction. she was a walking tempest with a magnetic nature that brought others into the eye of the storm. her personal struggles did not impact her work, which she threw herself into, at first; she threw herself into her career in the libertalia. she had been regarded as a sort of good luck charm on jobs, and that did not change until she was forty. she usually showed restraint, but islan had overindulged before a job and it was an incredibly costly mistake. and also a wakeup call
⸻ ┊ 0 1 0 › cue a short hiatus from the group, some vacations, and some self-discovery. islan checked herself a lil and came back to the libertalia with a new sort of calm. she was still batshit under the surface, which was kinda apparent, but she was more likely to show restraint before acting emotionally. islan came off a bit more indifferent, and her chaotic and destructive habits stuck around but slowed.
⸻ ┊ 0 1 1 › ok fast forward to now islan is 45. lives in a beautiful home in london and is sort of in her adult grey days where there is some semblance of stability that she can appreciate. it's very hard to get close to islan, and she is more inclined to connect with those she is already familiar enough with. they may occasionally see a softer side of her, one capable of affection and childlike wonder. islan is deceitful, charming, reckless; a masterful, thoughtful thief keen to impose her disdain of the world onto their mission. it is not wealth she lusts after, but the thrill. the libertalia is an outlet for her need to engage in wickedness, but it's also a family and a home. she is ready to sink with the ship, if need be. after all, what goes up is destined to go down. such a fall is fated, and grows closer each day.
