[TMA OC rp/ask blog]
Ooc here: Greetings, I'm Vermin (or V, or Ran), and I wanted to try my hand at an OC blog! I've listened to TMA a good few times over the past 1,5 years or so and am still in love with it, and as such thought this could be an interesting little project/pasttime
On this blog, I'll be roleplaying as & exploring the story of Noah Oxley (Noxie), a 20-something that's being stalked/marked by the Dark. I plan to keep just about everything seperate from the events of the podcast, but just in case, spoiler warning for potentially all of The Magnus Archives
Main blog is @the-pondering-vermin
Character info - Noah Oxley
Nicknamed 'Noxie' by his mother, which is how I mostly refer to him
Dark brown eyes with dark circles under them, and long, naturally ink-black hair (well. Undyed, but it's darker than hair normally is able to get. His main and only physical mark of the Dark for the foreseeable future). Average height and narrow shoulders, though not thin. Rather pale skin
On the quiet side, and can be rather socially awkward at times. Doesn't particularly dislike being perceived, but he feels calmest when he can't be seen (or heard). Fairly polite
Tends towards covering clothes, with a particular like for turtlenecks
British (probably from west London or Watford). I try to occasionally incorperate certain words into his speech to make this apparent
Currently a willing follower (<-barely) of the Dark, partially out of fear of the shadows that stalk him and partially due to the calm safety he feels in the darkness
Knows that The Shadows are real and that there's other presences out there (at least one at the Institute, which watched him for a short while). Knows nothing else about the dread powers or their manifestations
The shadows that follow him tend to blend into other shadows around him, and hide especially well when there's people other than him around. They can get hostile against Noxie if he reveals himself too much during the night. He's (semi-consciously) becoming 'one of them' (though not physically)
An adult (probably ~22?). I won't actively instigate anything related to mature topics, nor flirting or anything of the like, but as a rule am not averse to either. That being said, do note that he's currently already in a slow burn with someone
Character art - Noah Oxley
The former is how he currently looks, the latter has some added Darkness :D. His hair will likely be the main supernatural trait when he becomes an avatar proper. I imagine it extending into dark smoke/tendrils that cover most or all of his body, and allow him to meld into shadows. Though, that's for later
Further rp info
I would like for Noxie to slowly find out about the supernatural. In rp any tidbits, contextless information, or severe oversimplifications that may arise would be much appreciated, but please refrain from properly trying to explain anything to him
As you might've guessed, I plan to have Noxie become an avatar of the Dark. He currently, however, isn't. His inability to consciously call upon the Dark and his tendency to find himself trapped within the Dark every now and then make him perfect to be roughed up for a while and/or kidnapped (wink wink), and as long as he doesn't die I certainly wouldn't mind him suffering a good bit here and there :>
When I am roleplaying as Noxie, and directly refer to or call upon the Dark, I will bolden the text, as such. Note that I used to make it purple instead
I'd love to participate in any rp where it'd make sense for Noxie to be present. If you want him to pop in somewhere or play a specific role in an rp, just send me a DM!
I'm still fairly new to this rp thing, so apologies if anything I make comes off as low-quality or inexperienced. Oh, and definitely tell me if I say anything inappropriate or offensive? I come from more in-person rp (particularly dnd), so I'm generally used to being able to see people's reactions to what I do/say and adapt accordingly. I love how accessible online rp is, but have no clue how to know whether or not I'm doing a decent job at it
The current storyline between Noah and Alealani (mostly for my own reference)
From the shadows
In the light of day
Not quite a meet-cute
Definitely not a date
Coffee not-date
