The sigil over your heart burned. Hot tears fell down your face and land in splats on your lap. Mucous filled your throat, filled your nose, just as this realization filled your heart with such bittersweet glee.

    “I do not want to be here. I do not want to be—” You gasp, head tilted back, body trembling like a lone leaf in the autumn wind. You do not say it. Afraid, still, despite whatever blasphemy you shouted before your death, of being struck down by Dessia again. Cursed and cast aside in a fate worse than whatever hell they have trapped you in. 

    This hell called destiny.

The Stars Do Not Bind Us | Excerpt

Princess Seraphina thinned her lips, arms crossed just beneath her sternum. She is dressed simply in a white robe cinched at the waist with a golden, the wide sleeves billowing around her forearms. It contrasted beautifully with the darkness of her skin and the vibrancy of her rose-colored hair, done up in splendid and intricate curls and decorated by a minimalistic diadem. Beautiful, yes, yet devoid of the sparkling accessories that Seraphina so enjoyed in her childhood.

    She flicks away a piece of invisible lint from her sleeve.  “Don’t fret. You’ll be alone soon enough.” 

    Six grimaces, sinking once again into the water. It was one of the unfortunate aspects of heroism that she never got. The Hero always starts the journey alone. They fight alone. They protect alone. If Dessia so chooses to give them companions to aid them on their quest, then that is at the goddess’ discretion. Otherwise, the Hero was always alone on their quest. 

    After all, martyrs thrive in solitude. 

    (When there is no one to live for, there is nothing holding you back.)

The Stars Do Not Bind Us | Character Intro

Alias ➔ Six, The Prophesized Hero, The Sixth Hero

Current Age ➔ Appears 13

Status ➔ Missing in Action/AWOL

Appearance ➔ Female though can pass off as androgynous. Possesses shoulder-length brown hair, black eyes, pale skin. Shorter than average.

Note - despite her height, she can and will take you on. Proceed with caution

History ➔ The sixth iteration of the Hero's Prophecy, Six has been groomed to fulfill her destiny since infancy, though much if said training has been geared towards combat and magic than anything else. Despite her status as the Hero, her apparent lack of a unique ability that her predecessors had caused other to view her as lacking. Unbeknownst to even Six, her ability to go back  in time after death proved to be both a blessing and a curse. After many attempts to fulfill the prophecy fail, she uses her new lease on life to satisfy her wanderlust and explore the world.

Note - Ah, but fate is such a fickle mistress. Will it really let go of her so easily?

The Stars Do Not Bind Us | Side Characters Intro

Alias ➞ Cassiel, Cass, 

Current Age ➞ appears mid 30s-40s

Status ➞ Tired Messenger

Appearance ➞ Bright red hair, olive skin, dark eyes with an athletic build. Can appear feminine, masculine, both, or neither depending on the day. Their most identifiable feature is the black half mask they constantly wear.

Six's notes - While I'd like to say that it's easy to tell Cass' gender by their clothing, it's not. It's better to simply ask. Strange, though, that I have never seen the design of Cass' military uniform anywhere. 

History ➞ Cassiel is a long companion of Aidonus, and from their relationship might be able to assume a mentor-student relationship, or a master-subordinate. Perhaps both. Cassiel reveals very little of themselves, though this may be because he only stops by to deliver messages to Aidonis about--C̵̡̛̭̰̻͉̱̩̪͈͔̞̬͙̞̤̋͑̓̄̒̏̀̈̋̂̐͆͠͝ư̶̢̲̫͉̠̜͈̹̝̺͖̳̯̗̆͂̀̾̄̑͋͝r̶̖̥͈͑̋͛̉i̸̢̡̢̘̯̥̻͙̟̤̩̱̩̟̓͗̆̔̓̅̾͂̽̔̍͑̀̓̉̚̚ȯ̸̢͙̘̗̰̻̬͎̭̙͖͚̜͖̤̰̝̑̈́͝s̸̯̭̘̊̉́̅̔i̵̡̛̛̗̱̟̺̜̮̲͖͙̟͗̌̃̍̀͂͗̈́̽̈́̂͠ţ̷͖̤̮̙͙̯͕̼̬̘̓̀̍̕y̷̧̧̧̭̦͇͍̅͋͆̀́̚͝ ̵͖̘̐͐́̎̌̾̏͐͝k̶̨̻̺͕͙̣̘͉̟͎̤̍͛̈́͝͠ͅĩ̸̥̅̀͑̍̆͊͗̓̔̀͐̈̇̌̋͝ḻ̸̯͔̣͈͆̀̑͂̓͆͛͠ͅl̶̜͔͓͍̊̋̓̐̃̈͊͌͆̃̕̕͠͝e̸̞͓͔̖̯͋̄̂̑̒́̔̊̀̒̈́ḑ̶̛̥̗̞͚̙̇͂̉̊̈̀͑̓̆́̆̌̓͐͌͜ ̸̢͚͚͕͖͔͉̰̠̙̳̩̖͊̀͛͌͂̍̀͗͆͛̍̽͘ͅt̵̢͓͙̥͍͈̮̣̩͓͇͇̺̿̐ḩ̷̨̧̧̗͈͓͙͍̗̫̼̱̳̰̽̽̃̄̚ͅe̴̢̢͎̘̤͓̦͓̹̻͎̟̞͆͋̀͜ ̴̧̝̱̟̄̏͜ç̷̛̱̮̭̳͖͖̙̼̈́̌͋̒̈̆̿̔̐̓́̀͜ͅa̶̢̹̰͈̟̱̣͈̬̽͛̇̀̓̓̈̌̈̚͘t̴̡̨̛̬̻̩͇͆̀͋̒͐̄͒̈͑̽͗̀̿̂͘D̵̳̬͈͂̅̋̾ö̶̧̞̘͉̹̝̩̙͉͔̥͒̓̇̾̐̓̇̈̇̏̊̅̍̇͠n̷͉̄̑̍͒̂̍͑͌͑̍͌̚͝'̵̡̧̣̬̦̺̠̬̩̞͔̣͗̃͒̍̈͂̆̎͝ẗ̶̢̫̤̹̱̠͚̜̫̽͗̎͆̂̄̚ͅͅ ̶̱̮̹̺̖̜̠̘̺͖̊͊̒̾̂̍̇͆̔̇́́͘̕̚p̶̥̂̀͛̄̃̑̂̾̌́̾̿͐̔͝r̸̡͚̗̗̒̂̃̒̏̈͌̀̔́̾̏̎̏̕y̵̨͖̣̦͓̞̙̘͑̇̔͆̈́̌͋̆̇̔͂̎̕ ̶̨̛͈̞͖̪̥͍̯͉͍̞̽͑̆́́́̎̓̀̈̚̚̚͜͠i̵̢̨̛̻͕̳̺̥̘̙̩̠̩̗̘̺̖͋̎̅͂͂̽̀͗͆̇̓͑́̆ñ̴̢̢̧̗͙̮̠̘̯͖̣̬͉͚̦̝͉̌̑͊̏͋̀͠ť̶̨̖͒̅̆̊̃̈́͛̈̏ỏ̵̻̰̺̥̾ ̷̢̨̡̧̤̹̖̞̺̯̫̩͓͇̟̥́̈́̈́̽̒̃̐͊́̊͆̽̽̚̚͝t̶͈̗͑̀̎͜h̴̭̬̼̱̠͛̒̀̑͐̋̌̒͝ͅi̶̛̙͗̋͗̈͌̊̚ñ̴͖̪̝̤͚̣͕̀̏̔̏͒̑̔͊̆͆̄̿͊͂̈́̊ģ̶̧̳̙̣̙̯͇͎͙͙͍̬̦̣̥̩̊͋͊̏̋͝ ̸̳̜̟̩̯̹͈̑͑͛̏̃̈́̎̚y̸̡̪͉͓̺͎͔̳̣͈̤͍̙̟̱̝͐͆͜ǫ̶͚̖̩͕͉͂͛́̈́́̆͝͝u̸̡̜̙̟̓͗̋͗̑̋̆̑̒̽̎͂̈͂̚̚͝'̷̛̙̍̈̊͐̎͛̔̓̃̍̓̚̚͘͝͠ŗ̵̬̯̳̳͎̳̲͈̜̙̯͗̓͂͝e̶̘̻̘̥̱̲͂̑̒͑̏̐͋̽̉̈͊̚ ̴̬͎̞͖̔̈b̷̢̢̺͙͓͓̹̦͘ȩ̵̢̮̱͖͙̘̠̘̳̝̙̼̹̜͙̎̽ͅt̷̨̧̨̟͈̦̗̫̪̟̣̣̣̯̦͌̃̅͂͜t̷͔̝͑́̋͑̈́̅̂̽̎̒̎͋͌͝ę̷̨̛͖̫̬̗̣̟̗̲͂̀̀͑̑̀̃͂̅̚͘̚ͅr̸̡̰͓̝̗̦͐̐̉̀̅͊̿̽́̄͘͜ ̸̢̭̞̤̭̠̱̮̽̽̓̂ͅo̵̢͎̥͕̟͓̟̺̣̭̠̭͌̅̕f̴̧̢̡̞̯̦͙͓͆͐̅f̶̘̜̙͙̣̯̪̰̲̺̝̦̮̎̊͌̾̑̎́͒̆̏̕̚̕͠ͅ ̵̨̨̖̲̼̰̭̠̞̜̼̯͖̬̲̦̤́͆̈́̿̀͗́̓̽͛̾̈́͘n̸̦̰̩̱͌̋́̔̀͗̿̌̀̍̑͂̕͘̕͘̚o̵̧̪͌̋̀̂̐̈̈́͋͂͒̍̔̌̚͠͝ț̴̣͉̿̊̅̈ ̵̢̨̡̛̗͔͔̟̹̤̫͉̳̻̾͠k̶̘̟̘̙̗̲̯͕̬̊̄̈́̂̌͜͜͜n̸̡͖̩̲̰͎̞̈̄͛̍̚ͅỏ̵͔̰̬̟̲̬̰̦̭̟̓̑̉̍͛̄̀̋̂̏͊͝͝ͅẅ̸̛̛̛̝̞̌͆̒̂̿̿̾͗̓i̴̘͍͎̭͚̮̯͎͖͚̓̋͜ͅn̴̨͚̙͉̟̽ǵ̷̛̞̫̐̏̊͌͐̽̉͆͌̄.̷̻͍̲̬̯̀̇̄̓̔̅̔̋̚ ̸̰̪̤̥̖̏̀͌̇̓̚T̸̨̛̮͓̪̹̫̟̼̪̈́̓̇̓͠ḩ̶̛̤͙̥̩͕̼̗͔͖̗͓̭́̎͐̎̍̃̏͂̋̄͠͝ę̵̟̹͕̙͎͕̈́͗̀ṟ̷̞͙͕͈͉͚͓̠̝̗̻̙̈́̊̋̒̇e̸̳͔͙͊͋̓͌͒́͋́͋̀̄̑̄ ̵͎̘͖̱̇̑͌͆̃͌̾̀̊̌̄͝ả̷̤̗̙͕̻̬̜̏̑̆̈́͗́̇̉r̶̯̻̔̎̓͌̃̀̿̉̒̿̽̅́e̶̢̩̼̯̙̖͚̩̞̿͜͠͝ͅ ̷̨̨͔̦͚́̇̇͊̋̂̀̽̎͂͒̃̕̕͝ḿ̴̢̥̖̰̹͔͕̬̖͕̤̘̭͈̜̐͌̈́̉̆̒̓̈́̄͐̇̚͜͠ó̵̧̨͙̪͉͇̟̗̼͓̞͍́͋͗̊͜ṟ̵̟̾̍̔͐́́͊̈͝͠é̶̦̪̜̼̬̣̥͎̓̈́́͆̓̀͂̌͆̌̓̓͋̕ ̸̱̣̫͔͖̰̜̅̌́͗̈̓͊̆̉͛͋̉̊̋̎͜͝ţ̶̨̰͎̺̦͖̰͍̹́̌̀̓̍h̸͔̱͖͍͍͚͔͇̆͆i̵͇͉̤̘̺̱̰̜̘͍̪̻͗̓͜͠ǹ̷͔̜̣͇̝̗̮̠̦̰̞͇͎̙͔̳̠̀̋͗́̌̾̅͌̉̾̐̍͘͘͘g̷̛͙͍̬̜̠͔͎̙̻͍̪̠̏͑͛̍̇̿̇͝͝͠s̵̛͔̖͇͚̼̭̘̩̬̟̗̖̼̰̓̈́̎̈́̓̌͛̒̋̍̀̚͘ ̶̛̱́̎́̃̃͛͝ą̸̢̢̜̻͓̘͍͈̳͓͌̀̓́͛̓͋͌̃̽̓́͝͠͝͠ͅţ̷̮̜͔̺̼̹̞̻̂̔̏́̅̀̍̑͜ ̸̢͕̳̫̘̙̫̦͖̝̳̙̭̭̒͆̀̇̓̑͐̚̚͠ͅp̷̦̮̔̎̈̂͒̈́̎̊̔̔̄̇̒̚͝l̸̨̫̯̹͕̝̝͇͈͗̀̉̆̾ͅá̵̯̣̱̖̹̆̂͘y̵̤̎̔͒͋ ̴̧̧̻̹͇͙͙̱̭̏͐̋͑͠ͅḩ̴̞̰͙͍̰̬̖̼̎̎̂̚ȩ̴̡̰̙̞͚̬͇̗̞̜̬̺̏̓͗̅̏̃̆r̷̢̒̑̏́̋͗͊̐̇͊ȩ̵̧̗̬̼͖̥̝͕͛͌̔̊̃̇̃̅͜ ̸̘̰̖̻̜̳͙̤̞̼́t̶͈̲͕͚̹͍̋̍͑̆̈̀̃̍͗̈́̾ȟ̸͕̱͇̞͍̯̖̌̓͑̄̈́̄͗̉̚͝a̵͍͙̫̣̭͚͉͓̮͙̎̀̍̅̉̓̅͋͆̕͝ͅṅ̴̢̝͙͚͉̱̮̮̈́̌̎͗̓̈́͐͝͝ ̸̻̙̜̠̩́̔̽̊͘y̶͎̩̝̩̣̻͕͇̪̺͈̆̌̃͜͝o̷̧̨̬͓̭̱͇͈̣̳̥͖̜̾̾̔̃̐̀̈́̓̉͂̍͘̚ͅu̵̢̝̜̘̭̪̫̖̙̳̫̱̹͍͛͂̌͐͂̀͛̅̃͝ͅ ̶̧̭̮͛̏̒̒̎̄̏̎̈͗̃̂̚r̷̨͕̦̙͎̳̗͕̮͙̭̲͙̹̳͍̔̀͌̍́̿̓̉̒͝e̶̢͈͖̰̮̺̪̺̣̹͂̊̕à̷̢̧̢̛͙̮̥̻̰̖̗̹̦̙̮̌̂̈̔̒̽͂͗̌̇̈́̊̆̕̕͜ͅl̸̹͇͌͆̇͗̾͆̑ǐ̸̛̝̗̲̤͙̻̙̙̮̲̝̅͌̓͂͆͂͌̋͆z̴̮̳̠̝̦̠̺̞̼̤̈͑e̷̡̢͙͕͓̬̳̤̥͎̙̞͍̓̇́͆̎͊̆͌̔̏̔͝͠,̵̰͕̩͔͚͓̦̟̤͈̊̂̄̐̿̑̂͌̽̋̉̆͋͠ ̷̩̬̘͖͖̻̝̏̐͊̎̐̄̌̄̅̌͂̃̈́̊y̴͉̖͑̈́͐̑̉͂̎̂́͜͝͝o̸͎̎̋͂͐̓̐̊̎̓u̵̡̟̖̾̑̽͜ņ̴̜̱̻͔͙̞̏̂̔̽̔̅̂̊͂͑̈́͗̒͋́͆͝g̷̨̩͔̬̳̝̰̖͉̲̜̯͔̭̀ ̷̨̡̢͎̜̝͇͙̼̠̦̠̭̺̯̄̍̓̂̎̓̎͌͛̄̽̚̕͝͝͠m̸̡̩̺̦̺͚̰̭͚̺̩̮͒̓̋̓̓̂́̑̋̈́́̃̉̔͝͝ͅŏ̸̪̣͇́̎́̚̚r̶̨̲̝͇̪͍̳̭̾͒̈́͋͛̏͘̚̕͘͜͝͠͠t̸̢̛̥̗̤͑̎̃̾͒̂̈́̉̃̚͠ą̸̤̻͍͚̝͇̠͚͚̫͕̜͒̈́̏͋͜͝l̶̡͕͍͓̗̯̼̬̙̯̣̆̄̀͒͑͒̚̚̕̕͘͝ͅ ả̷̤̗̙͕̻̬̜̏̑̆̈́͗́̇̉r̶̯̻̔̎̓͌̃̀̿̉̒̿̽̅́e̶̢̩̼̯̙̖͚̩̞̿͜͠͝ͅ ̷̨̨͔̦͚́̇̇͊̋̂̀̽̎͂͒̃̕̕͝ḿ̴̢̥̖̰̹͔͕̬̖͕̤̘̭͈̜̐͌̈́̉̆̒̓̈́̄͐̇̚͜͠ó̵̧̨͙̪͉͇̟̗̼͓̞͍́͋͗̊͜ṟ̵̟̾̍̔͐́́͊̈͝͠é̶̦̪̜̼̬̣̥͎̓̈́́͆̓̀͂̌͆̌̓̓͋̕ ̸̱̣̫͔͖̰̜̅̌́͗̈̓͊̆̉͛͋̉̊̋̎͜͝ţ̶̨̰͎̺̦͖̰͍̹́̌̀̓̍h̸͔̱͖͍͍͚͔͇̆͆i̵͇͉̤̘̺̱̰̜̘͍̪̻͗̓͜͠ǹ̷͔̜̣͇̝̗̮̠̦̰̞͇͎̙͔̳̠̀̋͗́̌̾̅͌̉̾̐̍͘͘͘g̷̛͙͍̬̜̠͔͎̙̻͍̪̠̏͑͛̍̇̿̇͝͝͠s̵̛͔̖͇͚̼̭̘̩̬̟̗̖̼̰̓̈́̎̈́̓̌͛̒̋̍̀̚͘ ̶̛̱́̎́̃̃͛͝ą̸̢̢̜̻͓̘͍͈̳͓͌̀̓́͛̓͋͌̃̽̓́͝͠͝͠ͅţ̷̮̜͔̺̼̹̞̻̂̔̏́̅̀̍̑͜ ̸̢͕̳̫̘̙̫̦͖̝̳̙̭̭̒͆̀̇̓̑͐̚̚͠ͅp̷̦̮̔̎̈̂͒̈́̎̊̔̔̄̇̒̚͝l̸̨̫̯̹͕̝̝͇͈͗̀̉̆̾ͅá̵̯̣̱̖̹̆̂͘y̵̤̎̔͒͋ ̴̧̧̻̹͇͙͙̱̭̏͐̋͑͠ͅḩ̴̞̰͙͍̰̬̖̼̎̎̂̚ȩ̴̡̰̙̞͚̬͇̗̞̜̬̺̏̓͗̅̏̃̆r̷̢̒̑̏́̋͗͊̐̇͊ȩ̵̧̗̬̼͖̥̝͕͛͌̔̊̃̇̃̅͜ ̸̘̰̖̻̜̳͙̤̞̼́t̶͈̲͕͚̹͍̋̍͑̆̈̀̃̍͗̈́̾ȟ̸͕̱͇̞͍̯̖̌̓͑̄̈́̄͗̉̚͝a̵͍͙̫̣̭͚͉͓̮͙̎̀̍̅̉̓̅͋͆̕͝ͅṅ̴̢̝͙͚͉̱̮̮̈́̌̎͗̓̈́͐͝͝ ̸̻̙̜̠̩́̔̽̊͘y̶͎̩̝̩̣̻͕͇̪̺͈̆̌̃͜͝o̷̧̨̬͓̭̱͇͈̣̳̥͖̜̾̾̔̃̐̀̈́̓̉͂̍͘̚ͅu̵̢̝̜̘̭̪̫̖̙̳̫̱̹͍͛͂̌͐͂̀͛̅̃͝ͅ ̶̧̭̮͛̏̒̒̎̄̏̎̈͗̃̂̚r̷̨͕̦̙͎̳̗͕̮͙̭̲͙̹̳͍̔̀͌̍́̿̓̉̒͝e̶̢͈͖̰̮̺̪̺̣̹͂̊̕à̷̢̧̢̛͙̮̥̻̰̖̗̹̦̙̮̌̂̈̔̒̽͂͗̌̇̈́̊̆̕̕͜ͅl̸̹͇͌͆̇͗̾͆̑ǐ̸̛̝̗̲̤͙̻̙̙̮̲̝̅͌̓͂͆͂͌̋͆z̴̮̳̠̝̦̠̺̞̼̤̈͑e̷̡̢͙͕͓̬̳̤̥͎̙̞͍̓̇́͆̎͊̆͌̔̏̔͝͠

🍔🍪🍟~ Inky-Duchess 💜

I swear this is like sixth time I’ve tried answering this but Tumblr just. won’t. let. met. 

Thanks for the ask! I”ll answer this for TSDNBU

🍔 The exasperated, unwilling, pseudo-immortal hero gets tired of her job and attempts to run away from destiny. Eventually she finds herself accidentally adopted by a mysterious traveler as they go on a journey full of consequences with no destination in mind. 

🍪 Though not the best representation, this entire premise was spawned by listening to Cosmo Sheldrake’s Tardigrade Song one too many times.

The Stars Do Not Bind Us | Character Intro

Alias ➔ Aidonus,    ̸̞̗͕̤̒̔̇̉͒̎ ̶̖̄́̆ ̶̤̪͓̎ ̷͎͊ ̴̧̮̠͋̅͝ ̶͍̼̌͘ ̸̮̼̘͕̔, , Dad (by Six, sarcastically), Donny (by Cass)

Current Age ➔ Appears late 20s-early 30s

Status ➔ On extended leave

Appearance ➔ A taller than average male. Possesses short black hair, dark skin, and piercing red eyes. He has a scar on his left cheek and on his left eyebrow.

History ➔ According to his stories he is a hermit or a reclusive scholar that has only recently brought himself out of seclusion, citing a needed vacation. It explains his skill in magic and some of his strange behaviors--but not all. He mentions that he is the oldest of many siblings though is careful never to reveal any specific information about his past.

Apparently he is fated to die.

Six's Notes ➔ He is hiding something. It's obvious in the way he always looks away and how he's so quick to shut down any conversation that probes into his past a bit too much. Then again, I can't fault him. I hide from him as well.

Happy Meet and Greet Monday from Inky-Duchess! How would your characters handle a stressful situation? Are they succinct and logical? Are they chaotic and creative? Or are they painfully passive?

That is for the ask!! Let's just say it'll go a little something like...

SIX encounters a STRESSFUL SITUATION

Six: *shrugs* Haha guess I'll die *proceeds to rush head first into said situation and figures it out along the way like a high school senior whose writing a paper the night before it's due like the chaotic gremlin she is*
