@VINDURI. multimuse hub blog for characters from various franchises with focus on high fantasy/historical muses. primary muses are found on their respective sideblogs, please follow the sideblog featuring the muse you're interested in. secondary/low-inspiration characters can be requested on this blog by specifying; if you do not follow any of the sideblogs, i will assume you are only interested in interacting with those. in-depth rules and full list under the cut. written by vinn (she/her, 25+, europe)

OVERLOOK. blog is mostly friends-orientated and very private. standard rp etiquette applies (don't be rude, don't be a bigot, don't pressure me for timely replies). triggers are tagged as triggername tw. i do my best to tag everything appropriately, please let me know if you would like a specific trigger tagged. i am open to plotting and consider it a requirement for certain muses. i love shipping in most cases but i will never assume a romantic relationship between our muses unless we discuss it ooc—some of my muses do flirt, but please don't take it as me trying to forceship. i rarely post starter calls, sending memes or reaching out to plot is the easiest way to interact with me.

you don't seem the type.

it's like i've seen this before with a different cast.

i booked a session at a fortuneteller's shop nearby.

what fun is it if you know your future in advance?

pride doesn't pay the bills.

this might just make for good romcom material.

i remember everyone who's been here.

it's no fun to know things in advance: same with cinema, same with life. i hate spoilers.

some bad emotions can be very useful, indeed.

why am i still having these dreams?

do you know how awful it feels to relive the worst moment of your life?

are you saying there's no backup plan?

i'm a people person. i just don't like to be outside.

everyone has dark moments they don't like to remember.

you aren't as intimidating as i expected.

you certainly know how to lighten the mood.

you're looking out for me, aren't you?

so many people are oblivious to how dangerous the world is.

everything is possible in a dream.

you look like a model.

you compare yourself to others too much.

it's all the same, every day.

you still have a lot to learn.

i feel safe, having you with me.

every little thing you do is an act of love.

i thought forgetting was the only way to live.

you're too young to forget things already.

how would you describe your life, looking back?

i'll always be here, if you ever want to see me.

you knew about that?

things are always in the last place you look.

i've been waiting for you for three full minutes.

what a perfect day.

[v1nduri]

i swear no fc, not even the game model, captures the image of viago that lives in my head

[v1nduri]

close enough though—

[v1nduri]

biblically accurate of teia to shorten viago's name to vì actually

[v1nduri]

there are two wolves in me, one wants to give apollodoros the most disgustingly tragic love story known to man and the other wants him to have a husband he can spoil with expensive gifts and hand-feed him grapes without even so much as knowing the world is ending

[v1nduri]

in da apollodoros is from tevinter but he is not a mage nor is he a particularly skilled warrior he just defeated the social hierarchy with capitalism

things your muse will notice about mine.

what they look like. jack has a tendency to stand out, in appearance / mannerism / fashion choices. he's not particularly tall but is slender on his waist and legs, a generally toned swimmer's body with fairly broad shoulders and defined but not bulky muscles, well-toned arms 'trained' by life at sea, slightly underweight but soft on his hips and belly due to an unbalanced and alcohol-heavy diet. he has an oval face with a big, straight nose and an angular jaw that is partly concealed by a thick, dark beard. his complexion is an even, warm, saturated brown—his skin is marked, on his face, by a pair of dark sickle scars and a very faint spray of freckles, almost indistinguishable if one isn't paying very close attention. his eyes are deeply hooded under the arch of his thick eyebrows, and they're a very beautiful, pale shade of jade green. he usually applies black kohl on the inner and outer rim of his lower lids so the color does look a shade darker than green. his lips are plump and wind-chapped, dry, cracked by salt, also chafed by his vice to wet and bite his lower lip. also jack has very long and thick hair, reaching his mid-back, and has a genuinely insane amount of hair too—of a rich, luscious black but damaged by saltwater, wind and sun exposure; some of it intricately styled in cuffed braids and dreadlocks and adorned with various trinkets / hair rings / bone pieces etc

what they smell like. first and foremost, salt. it clings to his skin, his hair, his clothes, and because there is limited access to freshwater during sea voyages and jack typically considers diving in the sea bathing, there is no getting the smell of salt off of him. salt in the form of sweat, too, whether it be very faint or more noticeably pungent on hotter / more humid days. also the smoky scent of gunpowder, and a sweeter, sugary one, of alcohol. he takes a proper bath like once every couple of months and his clothes are almost always washed with saltwater as well so he does not exactly smell fresh, but the salt does tend to cover all other smells.

what they taste like. again, salty. kiss him anywhere save maybe his mouth and you will taste salt, but that is only because his breath tends to smell of alcohol and if you kiss him deeply you will eventually catch a sliver of sweetness. he favors sweet but not overly sweet like honey or sugar, more like a fruity mix of sweet and tangy, syrupy and floral.

what they sound like. he has a very melodious voice, not entirely deep but rich, playful—tonally over the edge out of some quirky necessity to always overperform but measured, almost warm when relaxed, endowed with a slight scratch. his speech is flamboyantly artificial and utilizes a strangely sophisticated vocabulary for a pirate. not only jack knows and uses complicated words, his speech pattern also bears the influences of various languages that he's come in contact with during his voyages, somewhat obscure but colorful, and coated with formality. unless a distraction makes him slip back into pirate vernacular vernacular. he's very bad with languages, his mother tongue is english and he speaks a broken spanish learned with difficulty from his long-time spanish-speaking lover, his knowledge of other languages stops at sparse tidbits but he's excellent at communication, in a way or another you are going to understand him

what they feel like. jack's touch is coarse, his palms calloused, his hands are roughened by over twenty years of manual labor at sea; his grip is firm only when he wants it to be, otherwise he's feather-light in an almost intentionally sloppy way. he has scars all over—not just battle scars, but where his tattoos have scarred his skin is uneven too, textured, in some cases of badly healed patterns you could be able to tell what the tattoo represents just by tracing the lines of inked scar tissue. he is very susceptible to the slightest temperature drop but under normal circumstances his skin is hot to the touch, sunburnt

sivan thoughts, spoilers for datv ending

i know the inquisitor pushes rook to reason with solas even if you selected the option in which they vowed to stop him but like—not sivan lol. he and solas mutually dislike each other since day one, and before the final confrontation sivan attempts to push rook into tricking the dreadwolf, paying him back for his betrayal

[v1nduri]

da jack is somewhat loosely affiliated with the lords of fortune as in he is in contact with them, drinks with them and is generally well-disposed in their regards but he does not share his loot with them nor does he owe them any particular loyalty—he's had enough of the privateer lifestyle and after breaking off the contract with the magister that turned on him for freeing slaves, he returns to piracy. his role in veilguard is to be determined as i progress through the game but ideally rook/the lords of fortune themselves negotiate his help in the rivaini struggle against antaam occupation, which he is not that unhappy to provide

My mother would be a falconress, and I her gerfalcon raised at her will, from her wrist sent flying, as if I were her own pride, as if her pride knew no limits, as if her mind sought in me flight beyond the horizon.
