(While I respect your muse and your story, might I suggest backing away from the child-centric discourse for the moment? Because it's a little awkward for me to see Aila being used as leverage in the 'argument' between Keir and Lynn, and while I understand that she's an important part of the story, it's a little uncomfortable.)

(Actually, this is something that deserves a post.

I was not planning on doing anything like this with Aila stuck in the middle. However, character decisions on both sides have caused a bit of a rift. Mainly confusion due to a lack of communication between the two muses. It is, however, a very important event in Lynn’s life right now.

I do plan to limit anything with angst that involves Aila, and I will gladly tag it however I should. But I do want people to know that even in reality, these kinds of things happen. It’s not something that doesn’t exist. Just like in reality, my character will not have a life that’s all sunshine and rainbows.

In short, thank you for the respectful message, anon. I will limit and tag everything like this. But due to how important this is to the muse’s life currently, I cannot act as if it’s not happening.)

Dolomite, Amethyst?

Dolomite: A sleep headcanon.

Sleep is not something Lynn is used to getting. It wasn’t necessary to get more often than once in a blue moon as a tager, and the war she was so heavily involved in didn’t allow for it anyway. Now, her sleep can be restless, as her memories tend to become very vivid dreams. If she somehow feels safe, then she might actually sleep well. Once she remembers she needs actual sleep nowadays, that is.

Amethyst: What my muse would most like to be able to shapeshift into.

Lynn, at one point, actually was able to shapeshift, even if it was into something that was more monster than anything. However, the Quiet (in simple terms, the Void) that is slowly eating away at her severed her connection to the thing she shifted into, or her symbiont. Oddly enough, Lynn had grown quite connected to this creature, so she would honestly just love to be able to shift into it again. If she were to choose anything besides that, though, she would like to shift into a dragon. It’s a creature with power so she won’t be weak and defenseless, but most importantly, it can fly.

51, 55, 105

51 - Are you allergic to anything? If so, what?

Actually, yes. I’m basically allergic to everything outdoors (including bees), which really stinks because I have a love for being outside. If I had more opportunities for camping and whatnot, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Food-wise, I’m severely allergic to all nuts and peanuts, and I have an intolerance (slight allergy) to fish. Not shellfish, oddly enough, but just fish. Thankfully, I’ve grown out of the rest of my allergies. Heh.

55 - A random fact about yourself:

You’d think I’ve have one of these set by now, considering that I always have to give one for icebreakers and whatnot (Thanks, Orientation). Hmmm... I guess one random fact would be that I can move each finger completely independently from the rest? Sure. We’ll go with that one for now.

105 - Top three places to visit:

Alright. I won’t count India since while there’s still a lot of it to see, I have, in fact, been able to visit on multiple occasions. I guess I’d really love to visit, in no particular order, Tanzania, France, and Slovakia. The one side of my family is 100% Slovak, so I’d really love to go there to see it. I guess kind of get an idea of it despite the fact that it would have been Czechoslovakia that my ancestors came from. France has always been somewhere I’d love to visit. Well, all of Europe, really, but still. Tanzania is a more recent addition. I’ve been studying Kiswahili for about a semester and a half, and I really love the language itself. Just the tidbits of information I’ve gotten on the country and its along with the language’s history are truly fascinating for me.

Actually, give me a chance to visit everywhere. I’d love that. I travelled out of the US for the first time only 3 years ago now, and I never want to stop.

Sorrow

Sorrow:

Close-lipped smiles throw people off. Her hood might be up to hide her eyes, even though they wouldn’t give much away. She won’t be as charming as normal. Instead, she stays relaxed, not wanting to move or do much of anything. If she’s on her own and knows for a fact no one else is around or can see her, she will probably curl up in a little ball and try to hold herself together. Around others, not a single tear will fall. Unless you’ve somehow earned a large part of her trust. Depending on the situation that caused the sorrow, it may quickly turn to anger and a wish for revenge.

[thorn-witch]

Anxiety, Lust?

Anxiety:

Lynn begins to relapse back into a more predatory state, though it was worse when her tager symbiont was still attached to her. If she’s only slightly anxious, then her eyes are more prone to moving, and her body is a bit more still that usual. She’ll stay relaxed to not give away the fact that she feels something is wrong. Her hand is kept near her whip, though she doesn’t ready it. She wants whatever may be after her to think that they can still catch her off guard.

If she becomes extremely anxious, however, her social side shuts down. Her eyes dart everywhere, not missing a thing, and her body is kept still as soon as she makes it to a darker area. Her hood is up, a bit of the Quiet is seen in her eyes, and the handle for her weapon (the dangerous one from her former mentor) is drawn. It’s not something she would use normally nowadays since it’s harder for her to handle, but if there’s a sense of extreme danger nearby, she only cares about getting rid of it.

Lust:

Unlike when she’s slightly anxious, Lynn makes these feelings very clear. She’ll lightly touch the other person, usually with only one or two fingers. Her eyes are bright red yet half lidded, and her voice becomes a low and sultry whisper. Every movement is slow and meaningful, drawing the other closer until she’s suddenly against them, a hand behind their neck or tangling in their hair. She’s in control, and they’re putty in her hands.

Mun is neutral good or chaotic neutral. Muse is chaotic neutral or true neutral.

(Okay, I definitely agree with you on the muse! I love how I apparently am one of two fairly different things. Soot, this is so perfect. <3 )

Rank your OCs as to how much they can deadlift.

(*digs out character sheets*

Let’s do this.

Yes, only top three. With the two/three way tie for last place. Read more for long post.

Number 1: Lynn at her peak. And now, I suppose. As a godkiller, she kind of has to be way too strong. At her peak, her strength was 21. In terms of the system, the average human would have a strength of 5. No mortal human could have a strength above 11. At 21, she should be able to lift a max of 7 tons, or 6350.293 kilograms. (Even if the chart only goes up to 20, I followed the pattern.) Fun fact. When Lynn first started in the campaign, she was one of the three way tie for weakest characters.

Number 2: Andrea Dawson, a tager that actually took Lynn’s place when she left her party to work with her most recent mentor. She had a strength of 11 with the bonus of her tager. Without it, she had a strength of 8. At 11 strength, she could lift 1300 pounds, or 589.670 kilograms. Sadly, she died during the fight with Nyarlathotep. Right before the end of the fight. I only played her for a short time, but I became attached to her fairly quickly.

Number 3: My most recent OC, Akali, also known as Rose. She’s a sorcerer and assassin, trained as both from a young age in a cult. While she’s more agile than strong, she still has 8 strength. At that, she can lift 400 pounds, or 181.437 kilograms. I don’t know if she’ll gain any more strength as time goes on, but I suppose we’ll see.

For the weakest, there’s a two way tie between Rei Fiore, who is Lynn’s older sister and a sorceress who became the favourite servant of Hastur, and SHROUD, who was an operator (aka computer technician and head of a pack) for the Eldritch Society. If you count Lynn at the very beginning, then it becomes a three way tie. Their strength was 2, meaning they could only lift 40 pounds, or 18.144 kilograms.)
