[soulsaria]

Had to share this one, just because it’s almost all of Home Base in one shot.

[jackie-tristam]

[So i’m getting a little bit more confident doing headcanons but I wanna stay sfw for a bit before I make an actual imagine blog and ultimately move into more spicy headcanons since i’m scared i’m not as good with writing some of the characters]

Random hcs I just thought of pt.2

Rin Murasame

-  Alright Rin was a Gymnast and I feel like with how awesome and quirky she is, she would be the type to freak out/impress people with her hyper-mobility and I feel like people would’ve found out about it because something would’ve gotten lodged in a weird spot and no one could get it

- Everyone is like ‘well there goes that item’ and when she asks where it is, they just see her bend and squeeze in and grab it and come out so casually while everyone else was blown away

-  Also, I could see her making Yakumo squirm because of how loud her joints pop when she does it. Cracking Knuckles? Sounds like she broke something. Popping her back? You could swear she split in two with the sound. Not to mention if she can dislocate something like her shoulders or can turn a body part farther than what most people can do. Like its one of her favorite tricks and while Yakumo and even Louis shudder from it, I feel like Nicola would find it amazing and ask her to do it all the time

- Lastly I feel like before the collapse, when she was in school she took robotics and metal shop and now I can see this tiny girl pretty much being in metal shop working on her projects and she brings that to the table and with help from Yakumo that’s how she became capable of repairing most of the weapons you present her with in home base as well as how she could get game consoles back up and running

- I just overall see her being this smart girl who’s just naturally bubbly and even with everything that’s happened, you give her a chance to flex some of her talents she picked up and she just lights up like a Christmas tree and you can pry this from my cold dead hands

Eva Roux

- Alright I’m coming straight out the gate with this one: Eva knows how to sew, let out, bring in and mend clothes and that’s why Jack’s suit always looks so nice. I feel like this is also why her outfit was ultimately shredded because she would mend it and not too long later it would get torn apart in a fight so after a while she just accepted it staying that way until it gets absolutely crucial to replace it

-     You think that stopped Jack from trying to find her a new dress or fabrics though? Hell no! this man is dedicated to her and I fully believe the only reason why he stopped is because everything was too hectic and after a while he gave up but always worried that her dress would snag on something or that it would fall apart at any second

- She once caught Jack singing and when she found out he was tone deaf? This wonderful angel literally convinced him to let her teach him how to sing and it was one of her personal achievements that she to this day keeps close to her heart because whenever she can get him to sing with her? The harmony between the two is awe inspiring

Jack Rutherford

- So like I said in the last hc for Eva, Jack was taught how to sing and wooo boy if you can somehow get him to sing for you, you’re a lucky soul for two reasons: He actually likes you enough to trust you to hear him sing, be it friendly or more and more importantly? This man can SING when he gets into it

- Like you give him a song and if he can sing it, you get to hear that deep husky voice shine in such a way that any one who had the chance to truly hear him sing would just melt

- One thing he will never do, though? You will never catch him willingly singing in a falsetto in front of everyone. Man cares about his pride and despite it sounding amazing, he likes to maintain his reputation of being terrifying to anyone who dares to cross his path

- Does this mean he never uses it? Nope! Contrary to popular belief, he’ll sing like that if he’s alone or really comfortable with someone outside of Eva hearing it which means you gotta get really close for that or else he will threaten you if you so much as breathe a word of it to anyone else

- I could really see his music tastes being slow songs from before the great collapse. With how he dresses? He strikes me as the type to have all those songs meant for romancing people since they’re perfect, whether for setting a mood or just something to listen to that’s pleasing. Also picture the following: You’re dancing with Jack, listening to slow dance songs and you just hear him softly singing them in your ear. You’re welcome

Io

- Okay so Io is innocent about certain topics but I could definitely see her asking you to join her in watching the 35mm reels so she can learn about humans and humanity. Like this would be a movie night with her and just seeing the look on her face as she understands what it means to be human? Heartwarming stuff, man

- Now as Io is learning how to be a human, I could see her wanting to try things from before the collapse. Just her going “I’d like to try a spa day with you.” because she wants to find out why people in movies find them so much fun or how massages are considered relaxing and with how sweet she would be when she asks, it would be impossible to tell her no

-  A cute idea I had? Io learning how to do pottery. Like seriously, being able to make her own little novelties? She would love that since as she’s learning, she would need help to make sure she’s doing it right but once she learns? She takes to it like a duck to water and suddenly you see that her collection has suddenly expanded, and she may even give you one of her creations as a gift

[eyes-of-heimdall]

those headcanons were beautiful for the alternate dweller in the dark ending 💗😭💗 your writing is amazing!! how do you think some of the non-companions would react? maybe jack or rin's reaction? 😘💕

[So due to something being wrong with tumblr on my desktop since yesterday, this may not format in the proper way I usually do this or they may get messed up. They'll be shorter while I figure out what's going on but I couldn't resist working on this! With that warning out the way, This will have the spoiler tag cause dlc mention! I hope you enjoy these!]

Jack when you successfully absorb the relics

- He knew it was coming. He knew that taking down Silva wasn't going to be a neat one and done situation where everyone can go in, slay a beast and walk out without any resistance.

- So when he saw you become the tree? You could swear you could see the very moment the light left his eyes. You'd see him trying to reach out to you, remembering what happened in Queenslayer and trying to grab your arm with this fervor that hasn't been seen before

- The noise he makes when he can't save you though? it would sound so inhuman, so broken and so wrong that for a while, no one could even move, let alone try to pull him out of there. He'd ultimately stand and walk out of his own accord but everyone swore they could see the tears flowing hard from his eyes

- At home base, Jack would seem like he was unaffected at first, until someone mentions you. He seems to freeze and his breath hitches. His eyes seem to not be here for half a second, then he's back and he tells you to not mention your name and with the tone he uses for it, you know you've crossed the line, even if it isn't hostile in nature

- If you and Jack were best friends? He would definitely stop talking about you but hold the memory close to his heart, much like Valerio. Any use of nicknames you had for him would elicit a response of him freezing in battle like he did then, and him hiding his sentimental nature in the name of preserving his right to be a useful ally

- However if you two were lovers, either polygamous with Eva or monogamous? You would be able to see it in his face that the loss broke him. He lost someone he loved, he cared about, someone whom he failed to protect now twice in a row. It was a glaring reminder with how empty the base felt without you there.

- Either relationship would cause him to steel himself for a life after your sacrifice. He would visit your tree and maybe hang one of his pieces of jewelry or one of your old pieces on the many branches that stretched out and up to the sunlight, as a gift to your now lost form.

- So when he was given an amber colored bead in return for his gift? He nearly cried then and there. For him, it meant you were still alive and wanting the best for everyone, including him.

Rin when you successfully absorb the relics

- She was excited to see the return of the beads and the sight of everyone walking through the church doors. That is...until you didn't. She was confused and asked you if you were going to walk in at any moment and if you were just pranking her. When everyone shook their heads no? She began to panic, after all, this couldn't be real, right???

- Cue her pretty much crying and bawling for days. She'll try to work on repairing and fixing weapons but it'll be near impossible. If she was told that all blood beads came from your tree? She would refuse to eat and nearly send herself into a frenzy, she's that distressed.

- When she cares about anyone, she cares deeply. Rin would be the definition of wearing one's heart on their sleeve. So when people appealed to how You would feel if she killed herself and became a lost because of the sacrifice she made, it would make it pointless before explaining that you were just dormant, almost as if you were sleeping.

- That got her to eat but she couldn't believe that you were just dormant until she was brought to the tree. When she saw a bead with a game safely encased inside, everyone was pleased to see her perk up and smile after everything. It wasn't much but it was progress towards coping and ultimately accepting the loss of your presence around the base and understanding that this isn't the end.

Hephaestus

Hephaestus Blood Code- Rin Murasame "A blood code received from Murasame. It holds her passionate will to support allies who throw themselves into difficult battles and watch over them with a smile when they come home. This code focuses specalizes in dexterity based weapons and uses devious Gifts to toy with the enemy."

Introduction to Blood Codes and Rin

Blood Codes are the abilities imbued within a Revenant's Blood. Each Blood Code is unique to each Revenant that resides within the Gaol of the Mist. Once a Revenant has awakened from their slumber after the BOR parasite has been placed in them, the blood takes on a Code which I believe derives from the characteristics of that Revenant.

I'd like to think Rin is either a first/second generation revenant. She's burdened by the decisions she's made in the past that made her reluctant to battle. She replaced her unwillingness to go to the front lines by handling the support side for everyone at Home Base and always exudes a cheerful personality for the crew to come home to.

Greek Mythology

Rin's blood code is based on the Greek God Hephaestus.

Hephaestus is a Blacksmith and a fire God known for his creations of many different things. Hephaestus was notably a secondary God in various mythologies and the only pertaining role he did have was his revenge against his mother Hera, who claimed to have hated him, called him ugly & deformed after birth. He was tossed away from Hera but the gods Thetis and Eurynome rescued him.

As for the revenge against Hera, he created a golden throne and Hera was so enthralled by the creation that she immediately wanted it for herself. The minute she sat on it, she was trapped by invisible cords that refuse to let her go free. Hephaestus was the only one that could see these cords and the other gods begged Hephaestus to let Hera free but he refused until he got drunk by Dionysus, the god of wine and vegetation.

Hephaestus is also famously known for being the creator of Pandora, after being commanded by Zeus. Pandora was created after inducing Prometheus' punishment for stealing Hephaestus fire from his workshop.

Similarities between Rin and Hephaestus

Hephaestus was known for his creations in his workshop. He provided armour and weapons to many famous heroes and gods. Rin is relied on for handling maintenance, upgrades and selling new Blood Veils and weapons in her workshop.

Hermes, Davis' blood code is also a sibling of Hephaestus. Of course, we don't see them interact in the game even though their stations are right next to each other. Presumably, they both get along since I assume Davis also gets his weapons tuned by Rin.

Since Louis' blood code is Prometheus and Prometheus was the one who stole fire from Hephaestus' workshop along with the knowledge of metalwork, these Greek Gods only interacted indirectly through those instances. Louis and Rin do get along in the game and they both support each other while Rin looks forward to the reports from him, Louis trusts her with managing his weapon, bringing new material and other things relating to Rin's workshop.

Eva's blood code is Harmonia but the relationship between Harmonia and Hephaestus is completely different from Rin and Eva in the game. Hephaestus gifted Harmonia a necklace and the lore of Harmonia's story is called: Harmonia's necklace. The necklace caused great misfortune for Harmonia but it grants the wearer eternal youth. Hephaestus gave Harmonia the necklace out of spite of her mother Aphrodite who cheated on Hephaestus with Harmonia's father Ares. However, as we can see from cutscenes, Rin sincerely cares about Eva, especially when Eva left Home Base not knowing the depth of her condition and felt upset about not being able to keep a good eye on her.

Rin's has the blood code Hephaestus while Mia holds the blood code Artemis. These Greek god and goddesses are siblings, and while they don't interact much in Greek Mythology, it's understandable that Rin has taken a shine to Mia. Mia was able to fit in at Home base with Rin around and I think Rin is just as excited to have someone who is close to her age that she can befriend.

Hephaestus was known for his supposed 'deformity' but from how I'm seeing it,  Rin doesn't have any physical deformity. She wears her purifier mask everywhere but we learn from the artbook that it's due to her handling weapons all the time. Working with BOR parasites and queen blood metals would probably emit some miasma or toxins in the air.

Then there's Rin's name in battle "Yaksha" or in other words demon. With Hephaestus' nature in Greek Mythology, the Yasksha part of Rin's background would relate to Hephaestus' spiteful nature against other gods that did him wrong. Rin doesn't exhibit Hephaestus' true nature but can easily reveal those characteristics during battle only. With Rin, she feels guilt with the things she was incapable of doing but Hephaestus' didn't deal with those kinds of emotions.

However, with the strong battle experience Rin displayed in her memories, she has that advantage over Hephaestus'. Hephaestus' as I have read, hasn't fully immersed himself into battle, he's more of a support for battle providing weapons, shields, and armory to the other gods (along with his knowledge of fire and metalwork). Rin in the past showed the opposite of that. While she is now gotten comfortable being in the support role and acquiring the knowledge and proficiency of helping other Revenants, she doesn't carry any grudges, unlike Hephaestus.

Hephaestus was more along the lines of deception with the mythology behind Harmonia's necklace, Pandora and the golden throne for Hera. We see those traits being exploited more within Rin's Gifts for her blood code. "Uses devious Gifts to toy with the enemy." Several of Hephaestus' creations were for deviousness and or weakness for the gods he gifted his creations. While there's not much connecting lore between Hephaestus and Rin, the one major common trait they share is that they're both seen with a hammer in their workshop.

Hephaestus' Gifts

Avance-Increases the amount of ichor gained from drain attacks. Pioneer's Guidance-Makes Gifts easier to master.

Hephaestus was always finding the best of ways to master and perfect his creations over all things, including the creation of Pandora.  These two Gifts are from Hephaestus' subconsciously ingrained mindset to perfect his works. - Inhibit Resistance- Increases inhibit resistance. Inhibit Removal-Cures you and your partner of inhibit. Use to block the effect before being afflicted.

These inhibit preventative Gifts is based on Hephaestus' defiance against certain Gods. He would conjure up an invention or a certain craft that would end up leading to the other's downfall.

- Swift Destruction-Increases damage dealt in proportion to your mobility. Vanishing Hollow- Dodge attacks by transforming into mist. Countermeasure- For a limited time, dodging enemy attacks generates projectiles that attack the enemy. Evasive Snare-Dodging enemy attacks generates projectiles at the cost of ichor that attack the enemy.

These Gifts aren't as much related to Hephaestus since he didn't participate in battles. These correlate more towards the gimmicks of his creations. There's always an intriguing pro or con towards his creations such as the chair for Hera so these Gifts could translate from his creations rather than Hephaestus' power prowess. - Flames of Rage-Manipulates ichor to create a trap at your feet that immolates assailants. Dancing Blaze-Fires a ricocheting bullet. These Gifts related to Hephaestus' proficiency over Fire. He utilizes fire in his workshop for his creations or makes creations that would cause a cursed effect on it and the bearer of it which links to the Flames of Rage gift. Or the Flames of Rage could also reference Prometheus steals his fire.

Concluding Thoughts

Rin's Blood Code Hephaestus is aligned with her role at Home Base rather than the lore behind Hephaestus. She brings a lot of cheerfulness to the harsh world they live in. It makes sense why she doesn't fight anymore, but I hope there is some kind of development where she'll grow out of the fears of abandoning her comrades. I'm sure she'll play some sort of bigger role based on the true ending but for now, Rin deserves all the happiness in the world and I'm glad she was created differently from her Greek God counterpart.

[vein-amamiya]

Code Vein University AU: Murasame

Okay, I know this is going a bit out of order, but once you read the list it’ll make sense as to why I’m putting Rin before everyone else.

Murasame:

Also still in high school

I see her being very interested in athletics

I think she’d be a soccer person

‘Yaksha’ on the playing field

Excels in both academics and athletics

She’s the one who pushed to be friends with Mia, such as initiating conversations and sitting with her at lunch

They become great friends

They help each other study for tests, and Rin helps her take more breaks

She often visits Mia’s house to play games with her and Nicola

[ichor-hunter]

Okay, so I picked up God Eater 2 and I noticed an intriguing correlation with Rin.

We know Rin’s nickname on the field is Yaksha...

There’s an Aragami in GE2 called Yaksha as well.

So either her previous team members at the time were from the first generation of revenants (they were elite/veteran scouts so it’s possible) and they fought the aragami (thus they started calling her that nickname). Or Rin is a first generation revenant herself.

The only thing holding me back on this theory is that her memory echoes only shows her fighting against lost than aragami. (And there is mention of the Queen) Plus, would first gen revenants even know the names of the individual aragami? Since they still call them the Horrors til this day.
