♡ for naz (i can't remember if i sent this already)
●●●●● | ATTRACTION ●●●●● | AFFECTION ●●●●● | INTEREST ●●●●● | LOYALTY ●●●●● | TRUST
Full marks. 💯
Although Caleb has not been properly tested by his pack and family over his relationship with Naz yet.
🕛 What have they been thinking about lately that has kept them up at night?
Sirens. 🚨
♡ (for atlas and for lian because i'm greedy)
Atlas:
These are the stats at this present moment.
Prior to this, attraction, affection, loyalty and trust were definitely higher, but once Atlas betrayed their trust and good will, all of that has gone down significantly. 💀 I'd be wary of that high interest score when there is nothing else there to support it.
●●●○○ | ATTRACTION ○○○○○ | AFFECTION ●●●●● | INTEREST ○○○○○ | LOYALTY ○○○○○ | TRUST
Lian:
It is not easy gaining true affection, loyalty and trust when it comes Ayumu, so trust that these scores are a pretty good ones in general. 😆 Lian has not shown Ayumu reason to doubt or distrust her yet and they will happily make use of Lian's magical abilities in exchange for what Ayumu can provide her. It also helps that Lian is hot AF.

Eternally, I grieve in your name.|| self.
While not a violent being, by nature, he is capable of killing without remorse if one of his kind is in danger.
The wind blows Adeline´s hair away from her face, crimson stains the front of her dress. A crown of flowers intertwined with branches and ribbons hangs from her curls slowly slipping away. He had made that crown for her just yesterday. In slow motion, he saw it, but his feet wouldn´t move, the roots of the forest ground seem to hold him in place. Her eyes close after shifting to Adaire before she fell like a broken doll.
She falls down on her knees and he runs to catch her. Face soft, lips half open, like she was asleep. As soon as he touched her, he knew that she was gone. Magic couldn´t heal her. But he refuses to accept it. His sister was cold, like the creature that had murdered her. He kissed her forehead, tears running down his face. The elf screamed louder than he ever did or believed to be possible.
Holding her in his arms, he sings an old nursery rhyme that their mother used to lull them to sleep. " Don´t go…" He begs between screams , his own, because her voice was gone forever. " Please don´t take her…" Adaire looks up at the bright sun, in mockery it continues to shine, while his heart is cast into darkness and his light is stolen.
All he can remember after that is waking up to a loud, agonising wail when his mother found her two youngest children covered in blood. Adeline´s bright blue eyes would never open again .He would not let go of her. Using all the magic he could collect from the sun, Adaire almost drains himself trying to force his youngest sister to breath again.
" You need to let her go, son." His father´s words sound like a command, an order. " Adaire release you sister." Normally, he would have obeyed, but not today. Adeline wouldn´t leave them behind. As he continues to feed her lifeless body with more healing magic, his father and brothers try to pry her from his arms. "I won´t lose another child today."
Adaire feels a sharp pain in the back of his head and everything turns dark. For fleeting seconds, Adeline is there beautiful as always, a bright light surrounds her before she is taken away.
The heavy fog was perceptible between them, the two bodies standing by the large massive body of water, he could make every little detail, rock, animal or plant, even the tiniest flower…one had a shade of blue that was a perfect match for Adeline´s eyes.
Dawn was upon them, the river´s water was a purple shade turning grey, golden rays chasing the cold away. Emptiness was all he felt. For a fraction of a second he questioned if Adeline would have been disappointed. She was a gentle soul, too good to remain in a world where the beasts run free. Forgiveness would have been her decision, but he didn´t have it in him to display such clemency.
He walks into the cold water to wash away his sins and the blood of his beloved sister´s murderer. Let the corpse rot away or the wind spread the ashes of the beast. Justice was served. His rage was decreasing and with it his strength was leaving. All reason had left weeks ago when his sister was murdered and gone somewhere else. He was tired. Rage kept him chasing after the vampire that took Adeline, creating a path of destruction to vent his pain.
When he looks at his daughter´s smile or hears his son´s laugh, the elf elder can still feel Adeline around him. More than eight centuries have passed and the part of him that she carried, the bond they shared died. Part of him died that day.
Adaire should have protected her, it was his duty as her older brother. And to this day he refuses to accept that she is really dead. Her spirit shall always live. Inside his heart, the memories of her will replace the void that she left. And he grieves, eternally, in her name. For the life that she could have had.
TASK ONE - WORKING 9 TO 5 🏫
What drew your character to this particular profession?
School has always been a safe space for Harper. Back in Chicago her only positive adult interactions happened with her teachers and school staff. It was a place where she could be herself and try to reclaim what it meant to be a child. School meant guaranteed lunches and all the books she could ever want to read. As she’s aged her love for school has only grown bigger. With that she realized that nothing would make her happier than to provide the same safety and security to students of her own.
How did your character land their position? Did someone help them get an interview or offer a recommendation?
Harper is very fortunate to have so many great fellow teachers in the community. She did student teaching with Rowan and has gone to Fiona and Sam several times for advice. All of them have been fantastic resources and offered recommendations while Harper was applying for jobs. She’s positive that they were a driving force in her landing this position.
Does your character have set hours? Do they have a flexible work schedule? Do they have to get up early or work late?
Harper’s schedule is set around the school day. With the bell ringing at exactly 8:00AM, Harper usually walks in the door each day by 7:00AM or earlier. Harper has never been much of a morning person so she wouldn’t say this is her favorite part about her job. One perk is the fact that she gets to enjoy the same break schedules are her students. No work during the summer? You won’t find her complaining even with the early mornings.
What challenges does your character face daily when it comes to their job? Are there drawbacks to their current position? Is there something in particular in which they’ve struggled?
As much as Harper loves her students there are days when they leave her absolutely exhausted. It’s on those days she realizes why so many teachers suffer from burnout at some time in their careers. Between the constant deadlines, nerve wracking layoffs and challenging days with students? It’s more than enough to leave her frazzled at times.
Are there perks to your character’s job?
The biggest perk is by far the breaks. Harper’s favorite perk is getting to retell all of the funny things her students say and hanging their art on her fridge. She also loves the fact that she gets to shop for school supplies every year and decorate her classroom.
How does your character celebrate job-related successes?
Usually with dinner out and a night dedicated to playing video games.
What’s your character’s favorite part of their work day?
Harper loves her lunch period. It gives her the opportunity to exchange stories with her coworkers or read with her meal.
Is your character good at what they do?
Harper is an excellent teacher. Her easygoing nature comes in handy when the day’s schedule gets thrown off. She’s fair and firm when she needs to be, but also has plenty of time dedicated to making her students laugh. The fact that she’s so passionate about what she does keeps her students engaged. Okay, most of the time. They are third graders after all.
Does your character enjoy the work they do, or is their job a way to make ends meet?
Harper absolutely loves her job and wouldn’t change it for anything.
TASK 7: ...THE CLASS OF '99, WEAR SUNSCREEN
In honor of NYU’s commencement tomorrow and the game’s characters donning their caps and gowns, this task will focus on graduation.
Some questions/prompts to consider/expand upon:
What types of graduation events has your character experienced?
Have they been happy experiences?
What’s your character’s highest level of education?
Does your character want to pursue another degree? A first degree?
If your character didn’t graduate high school, why not? Do they regret it?
If your character didn’t pursue a post-secondary degree, why not? Do they regret it? What would they have studied if they did?
Does your character think others have preconceived notions about them due to their education level?
As with previous tasks, there’s no specific format for completion, and can be approached IC-ly, OOC-ly, or a combination of both. Potential suggestions for completing the task include but aren’t limited to: narratives, solos, threads, social media posts, a starter, graduation themed playlists. As always we encourage aesthetic creations/visual elements to accompany whatever you come up with!
If you choose to complete this task, please tag your post with the following:
acup: task7
acup: inspo
And finally…
Usually, tasks aren’t mandatory, but they are always highly encouraged as a way for you to get into your muse’s head, develop characterization, and enrich the overall verse.
Usually, tasks have no deadline, so please feel free to go back and redo or start an older task at a later time if inspiration strikes!
TASK 1 · TASK 2 · TASK 3 · TASK 4 · TASK 5 · TASK 6
And as always, if you have any questions or suggestions for tasks you’d like to see in the future, please reach out!
So for our first official task since our reopening, I thought we’d do something really fun and easy. It’s a moodboard!
To put it simply a moodboard is a new picture post made from 9 gifs. The center one is either a picture or a gif of your character, whichever you like better. The gifs around it are to describe your character.
At the bottom, in the text portion of the post, put your character’s full name.
It’s honestly a super simple task.
Here is an example[x]
Here are gif hunts for moodboard images. [x]
If you need help, feel free to send a message to the main.
You have until Nov. 27 to do the task. Tag it Ikag task and ikagmb
♡ for Atlas ~
●●●●● | ATTRACTION ●●●●● | AFFECTION ●●●●● | INTEREST ●○○○○ | LOYALTY ●●○○○ | TRUST
Caia holds a LOT of affection and interest in Atlas, especially after watching her grow up over time and come into her own. There is a sense of protectiveness Atlas brings out in Caia, but they also know deep down that their own loyalties lie elsewhere. With most people Caia is interested it, it is this loyalty elsewhere that has Caia keeping them -- and especially Atlas -- at arm's length.
It doesn't help that Caia needs to leave Vievecor City now and feels exceptionally terrible for the state of Atlas' mind now that the younger elf has returned from their travels.
