[zaynah-rabah]

hello! my name is nico and my pronouns are they/them. i’d like to point out that mun is 18+! i’m open to roleplaying with canon or oc characters. i’m semi-selective, multi-verse, and open to new threads, however I’m not down for multi-ships so i apologize. if you’d like to roleplay, don’t be shy to dm or send me an ask!

guidelines

nsfw

gore, violence, action, profanity, and all that is totally fine with me but if that’s not the case for you, then please let me know!

smut or sex scenes aren’t what i prefer to roleplay/write, so i’d like to avoid that if possible.

shipping

my oc only goes with one character in the dc universe, so i would not be writing ships with any character (canon or oc) that aren’t him.

if there is someone who is willing to roleplay as older!damian and write the ship with damian, i’d like for us to message one another to better understand our versions of damian wayne and to find the chemistry between the two characters.

other ocs

i’d love to roleplay with other ocs, as long as they’re in the dc Universe, so i’m very open to that!

messaging would be great if you want to explain your character better before we want to start a thread so we can work out the dynamics between our characters or what kind of bond they’d have!

interactions

i know interacting for the first time can be hard-- i’m still kind of nervous of doing that myself-- but i’m very open to roleplaying with anyone! i’m not picky at all and i’m totally fine with getting messages or asks of requesting to roleplay!

i’ll be making a lot of open threads or posts to help with interactions if you are too shy (like me) to make the first move.

but seriously, i don’t bite (;

threads

i’m totally fine with starting if you don’t have any idea on how to, the same applies with you starting if you do have an idea. i just want to make the roleplay as enjoyable for both of us and if i can help in any way then i would!

most of my threads would be open (even if someone else already interacted i’m fine with someone else also wanting to roleplay that same scenario as well).

i’m okay with roleplaying literately or illiterately, though I much prefer the former.

i’m not picky with the length of the threads or responses, so long as you are not replying to my two+ paragraph thread with only one sentence-- because that would make me assume that you’re not really interested or you’re just making it hard to keep the roleplay going.

rules

NO GODMODDING!

no smut (unless it’s super super vague but if not then the most I’d do is flirting and heated make out scenes).

don’t be rude, that is not something i will let slide.

be honest and straightforward, that’s the only way i’d be able to understand you if you want to change something in our roleplay or anything like that.

be patient, i may be busy on some occasions and that will mean i might respond a lot later but that doesn’t mean i forgot or i don’t want to continue.

lastly, don’t try to judge or be picky with my oc and how she is because then i wouldn’t want to roleplay with you at all.

reblog if you want to receive angst inducing anons

[nordiixa-blog]

Reblog if you don’t mind Slice-of-Life threads that don’t necessarily go anywhere.

✕  there is so much development to be made from people just… being together. there’s no need for a whole huge big plot for muses to make memories. just conversation and doing mundane things together is enough sometimes.

[shesnipes-archive]

This has been on my mind for long but I’m gonna do this - please reblog this if you’re comfortable with pre-establishing relationships. I do not mean “met at the grocery store two weeks ago” or “have a common friend”, but rather stuff like “have been best friends since kindergrden”, “go for a beer every friday”, “friends with benefits”, “dated in highschool”, “hate each other’s guts because -insert reason-”  etc. Something meaningful (but not necessarily shippy) and I mean with muns/characters you have not interacted with, because I cannot believe I am the only one who prefers jumping right into the heart of the human interaction.

Personality: Quiet, introverted, cold, calculating, reserved, can be harsh when she speaks but it’s because she never learned how to use the right tone to speak in and doesn’t have any ‘proper’ communication skills, striven by power/wanting to be stronger, ambitious, focused on keeping a good reputation of herself, striven, logical, very formal

Random Facts: Finds it important to respect one's honor, Originally didn’t see animals in a fond way until she met Damian (she prefers cats over the rest though), terrible people skills since she never interacted with others and it was never a priority but instead seen as a weakness, bottles up her emotions (she doesn’t know how to express them ‘properly’ and is usually seen as emotionless), has her hair in a messy braid/fishtail with the front strands out usually [when she had long hair up until 16], has a raspy, deep voice even for a girl,

Background: Zaynah Rabah was trained from an early age by her parents, uncle, aunt, and grandparents to continue their line of sacred, powerful warriors. From her mother’s side they came from a powerful line of brujas de sangre, Blood Witches. However, Zaynah’s ancestors and her mother were only able to control their own blood, having to cut their wrists or any part of their body so they could manipulate it, but she was an exception. Zaynah is able to control her own and other people’s blood— even when it’s inside their bodies.

To have both of her parent’s abilities had mostly been the reason why her grandfather arranged the marriage between her parents. They wanted to have a strong heir, more preferably a son, but instead they had her. That didn’t stop them from training her mercilessly, having her childhood stolen from her, having spent it all in her harsh training to take her father’s place and continue their sanctified lineage.

When she was 12 her father deemed her worthy of being able to have their sacred Scimitar bestowed upon her. However, when the ceremony began and she was about to be handed it, her father swiftly used it to make a surprise attack resulting in her scar on her left eye. She was scolded by him and the rest of her family for not being prepared because a true Rabah would have been able to know how to react to the unexpected and that it had been the reason why her father tested her that way.

It was on her 13th birthday when her family decided to do another test on her, one that was unlike the rest. And it ended terribly with all of her family members dead except for her. She had enough of her family's abuse and when they had all surprised attacked her, they did not expect her to be so skilled enough to slaughter them all. But as she accomplished it, she wasn’t really conscious of what she was doing, it was like a blur in her mind and she only realized what she had done once it was over. And for the first time, she was finally free from them and was able to make her own independent decisions, or so she thought.

The League of Assassins were quick to discover Zaynah's feats and Talia al Ghul offered her to join, seeing her as a potential future wife for her son. Since then, Zaynah had become one of the few skillful, important Shadows/Assassins in the league that the Al Ghul family trusted and saw highly of. Though, at first, Damian was the only one to not like her so quickly. He saw her as a competition until he started to realize that the feelings that he had for her were so much more than what he believed they were.

When Damian was finally able to meet his father for the first time and experience what kind of amazing man her mother had always told him he was, Talia ordered Zaynah to keep watch of him as he did. She was supposed to return frequently with any news of how her son was doing with his father. And as Zaynah watched Damian with his new family and home, she couldn’t help but silently long for the same thing since the deaths of her own.

Zaynah slowly falls for him more as she keeps an eye on him, purposely telling Talia good news so that Damian can keep that happiness he has with his father. A couple months later, Damian figured out what she was doing and called out to her as she hid somewhere in the darkness of where he was. It’s then they discuss a little bit of what happened and she is soon welcomed into the Batfamily, well not so easily of course.

Bruce, Tim, Jason, Stephanie, and Helena don’t really trust her at first, expecting her to be a mole or something of the sort sent by the League of Shadows. However, Emma, Cassandra and Barbara are the ones to actually warm up and think otherwise. Emma, having been a Shadow herself, sympathized with Zaynah and tried to understand her more and help her open up about her past. Zaynah at first thought it was better if she didn’t join them, seeing as most of the members were unwelcoming, but Damian urged her to, and for some reason it made it easier for her to know that he wants her to be there. With him.

So, she tried to open up for the first time in her life and tell Emma about her past and motivations behind why she joined the League. She also spoke out about what she saw in the Batfamily that she wished she could have had. Ever since, she also became a member of the family and stopped being a Shadow/Assassin, instead becoming a vigilante alongside Damian to protect Gotham which became their new home.
