The cool breeze of autumn wafted through the garden as Xiao soaked in the serenity and peace of the place. They were at his garden, his most beloved garden that he had taken care of ever since he had arrived at Yeoshin.
Xiao had invited Minjae over, wanting not only for them to practice their water abilities but, for Xiao to show the beauties that grew.
“Minjae, Minjae!” Xiao called out to the other giddily, a wide smile plastered upon his lips. “These two are my most prized possessions in the garden!” He explains off, pulling the other by the wrist as he drags Minjae to one part of his garden.
“This is the Jade Vine, aren’t they pretty?” He says as points to the lightly turquoise coloured flower. “And next to them in the Middlemist Red!” Xiao exclaims out, obviously too proud of his flowers. “The Middlemist reminds me of Red Spiderlily’s don’t they? They look a little bit a like!”
He continues off, as he tried to get Minjae to the flowers close to his garden shrine. “The Red Spiderlily’s are here!” He says.
Did you hear? MINJAE SOUSA, the twenty year old STUDENT/FLORIST, was spotted in downtown Yeoshin. We heard they’re a descendant of IGALUK & ISIS is known for having the ability(s) of MYSTOKINESIS and EREBOKINESIS. If you look closely, they have an uncanny resemblance to BTS’ Park Jimin.

In Inuit mythology, Igaluk is one of the most powerful gods of the pantheon. He is a lunar deity. One day, as Igaluk looked at the women, he found that his sister was the most beautiful. And so that night, as everyone slept, he crept into the women's dwelling and forced himself upon her. As it was dark, Malina was unable to tell who her attacker was, but the next night, when the same thing happened. Afterwards, she took a lamp and looked through the skylight of the men's lodge. She was surprised to find that the man was Igaluk, her own brother. So Malina sharpened her knife and cut off her breasts. She put them in a bowl and carried this to the men's lodge, and presented it to Igaluk, saying "If you enjoy me so much, then eat these," and ran away out the door, grabbing a torch as she went. Igaluk chased after her, likewise taking a torch, and was able to easily follow her path, as her footsteps were marked with great pools of blood. However, he tripped and dropped his torch, and the flame was put out, except for a faint glow. Eventually however, Igaluk caught up to his sister, and the two ran so fast that they took off into the sky and became the moon and the sun.
Isis was a major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world . Isis was also known for her magical power, which enabled her to revive Osiris and to protect and heal Horus, and for her cunning. By virtue of her magical knowledge, she was said to be "more clever than a million gods". In several episodes in the New Kingdom story "The Contendings of Horus and Set", Isis uses these abilities to outmaneuver Set during his conflict with her son. On one occasion, she transforms into a young woman who tells Set she is involved in an inheritance dispute similar to Set's usurpation of Osiris' crown. When Set calls this situation unjust, Isis taunts him, saying he has judged himself to be in the wrong. In later texts, she uses her powers of transformation to fight and destroy Set and his followers.

Minjae was granted with the abilities of Mystokinesis, the ability to manipulate and create magic, as well as Erebokinesis, the ability to manipulate and create darkness. Isis, known as the Goddess of many things, but in particular, magic. She was well versed in it, could create or manipulate whatever her mind could conceive but Minjae’s mystokinesis only stretches as far as he learns. He spent a great deal of his life and childhood, r indulging his capabilities, learning knew spells and potions along with charms. But with those learnt abilities comes those to which he can’t control. His manipulation over magic gives him the mental uses of telepathy and telekinetic powers. He is not only limited to potions and spell casting. He’s able to create force fields, heal and absorb magical energy as well as creating it. He in essence can create whatever he knows how, create portals and detect magic. Shape shifting, reality morphing and potion creation are also just the tip of the ice burg for him.
But then Minjae’s powers grow a little deeper, venturing to the dark side of magic, as well as darkness with in it’s self. He’s able to control it, manipulate and make it tangible. Create creatures with in it and consume the his surroundings. Shadow figures bow at his feet, and it seeps into his veins like venom. It can control his moods, intense stress and anger making him dangerous, a demon of sorts. Something not to messed with. To poke at, a festering beast beneath the surface of a ticking time bomb.
* . ✧ ˙ ˖ — as stories told, legends passed, languages spread, we start to forget who were before.
triggers in the following passage: Depression, Mental Instability, Mild Body Dysmorphia, Bulimia, Adoption,
Minjae’s early child hood was an intense blur of social services and office buildings. His birth parents just a figment of his imagination by the time he was five and he couldn’t fathom another family than the one that adopted him. Unbeknownst to him going from a family of seven to a family of three, the only child to a traveling nurse and an English teacher. Both traveling the world in search of spiritual release and for their jobs that helped them live a steady upper middle class life.
On the out side looking in, traveling the world seemed like an ideal life to live, but to Minjae it was the epitome of loneliness. Bouncing from school to school, learning new languages and only having friendships barely lasting a few months, and a love life non-existent. His parents gave him everything he could ask for, docile in their ways, while teaching him the cultures of the planet. But an idle mind brings evil thoughts, and as Minjae’s powers began to surface, they began to mess with his mental state.
Early adolescence brought on insecurities. Turning into a lover of the environment as well as a lover of the arts, Minjae had always felt that his physic was never up to par to those around him. A natural at dance, he spent practices in long shirts and sweat pants, suffering in sweltering heat to cover a body that in actuality was beautifully sculpted, muscular yet soft. But as darkness crept into his veins it spoke to him, told him things that weren’t true and painted the distorted image of his body, and of the people surround him. There was a time where he believed the world was against him, a time where everywhere he traveled he felt eyes peering at him in the darkness, heard the critiques of shadowed voices. He forced fingers down his throat, and screamed at nothing, trying desperately to get the darkness from his head. It spiraled him into a tragic depression, a once happy, spiritual and wise, sunshine of a child diminished to an empty shell.
It took time for him to find the issue to realize that it wasn’t him that was the problem but an ability had been granted that with out control could consume him.. He slowly found a way to diminish them, dark voices and demonic thoughts, found a way to control and even learned how to use. And as that subsided strange things happened. Flowers popped up out of thin air, books began to float, his hair changed shades with an accidental snap and he had turned the family dog into a cat with just a touch, a cat he still has. His magic shined brighter than his darkness, and he spent the rest of his time learning how to use it.
Minjae is a very soft soul, effeminate in most aspects, a lover of men. He seems easily malleable but he is valiant, independent. He enjoys the remedies of nature and prefers natural over processed any day. He likes natural smells and has the brightest obsession with flowers. A wanderer at heart like his adoptive parents, he made his way to Yeoshin for school, somewhere brand new to indulge in. He’s new to the area, only having entered school this semester, setting up his flower shop near the water, a place he’d always found peace in. He is the type to find the good in all things, and though it could be mistaken for naivety, it is far from. He is able to see the tell tale signs of toxicity, can see the evil in those before they could see it within themselves. He’s adopted the ways of many cultures and speaks a flurry of different languages, and finds little things peaceful and charming. Slightly shy in the nature of pursuers he’s never even known his first kiss even at twenty-years old.
LOYALTY. -Does your character have any loyalty to any group?
If specific groups like fraternity and such, he has no loyalty nor interest towards them at all. But, to groups of people like his friends and family he’s very loyal to. But, mostly to his family.
He’s what you would call the ideal son. Aside from the fact that he can’t live by himself because he knows just about nothing from doing chores to cooking for himself. He’s studies, responsible, and disciplined. Xiao keeps up with family traditions that were passed from generation to generation so, he’s most loyal to is his family. Friends come as a second.
PRIDE. -What is your muses biggest flaw?
Xiao in a way, has an inferiority complex. It doesn’t show because he was raised to believe that he comes from the best of the best and that he has everything in the world. But, he constantly feels as though he does not deserve it.
He tries to work hard yes, but it’s hard for him to do so when he’s lived his entire life in luxury and being pampered. He doesn’t even know where to start on how to get some sense of self-worth to him. It adds insult to his injury for the fact that even when his family has generations of scrolls and teachings on how to use their abilities, Xiao has very little mastery of his own powers. He pushes himself too hard mentally, so it can’t always be that obvious when he’s troubled, he tends to keep it to himself about feeling like he’s a burden.
HUMBLE. -How does your muse handle praise?
Xiao is very used to being praised and isn’t the least bit unfamiliar to it. On the contrary, if no one praises him he finds it rather queer. It’s either he did not do a good job or he failed at something. That or he considers silent praise.
Everyone in his family praises him a lot, so it really is no stranger to him. The lack of being complimented would instead be the odd one in his life.
LUST. -Who does your muse find attractive?
As of right now, face wise he’d say Moora or Minho. He likes the symmetry of their faces, they’re what Xiao can say eye candies. Although with Moora, he’s probably crushing on her a little.
Prob because they get along really well (even though Xiao and Moora have no threads yet, I talked to their mun and from our plottings it seems that Xiao developed a crush lol)
DUCKWORTH. -Has your muse ever thought about committing or committed a crime?
Xiao is a filthy rich pampered child. The only time he ever thought of committing a crime was when he watched a mafia movie and thought it was so cool. He had a dream as a child to become some sort of mafia godfather but, it wasn’t long lived.
The most crime he probably ever done was that he stole a servant’s notebook back from Jiangsu when he was in his mid teens. Of course the servant thought nothing of it but, that was about the last time Xiao stole anything.
