Ohm/Ajax will probably always be my guilty pleasure ship. I am a HUGE HUGE Sulien/Ajax truther don't get me wrong. But Ohm and Ajax have various fun dynamics to me. Especially in GI but in general too. I have.. so so many drafts/wips and old ass fics from either when Ohm was an only child(lmao) or when I was feeling particularly Weirdge.

They get along like a house on fire though.

whoopsies. infodump. i meant to ask if he preferred english or western or like. bareback. ignore everything else i said <3

no i will not

#☾*✲⋆. essence of myrrh #from the fate ; ash

[fox-buried-in-maple-leaves]

VERY IMPORTANT !!!! URGENT ⚠️⚠️🚨

what type of saddle does emil typically use. and does he have a preference.

ummm there's three main types, being english, western, and sidesaddle (also like. bareback/no saddle. this is an option.)

under the category of english saddles, i'd guess relevant? saddles wld be eventing (general purpose, you could probably do just about anything english saddles are designed to do if you tried hard enough), dressage (flatwork. idk how to describe dressage other than Specific Riding. priority on being able to Feel The Horse, less padding.) jumping (what it says on the box. make it as easy as possible. also used for cross country and hunt seat/foxhunting), andendurance (priority on comfort. lots of padding. sometimes looks western w/o a horn or general purpose w more padding. usually for long distance.)

for western saddles, they're typically heavier and designed to be more comfortable (for both the horse and the rider). because they're generally used for long periods of time. general (u can do j abt anything in these, but again it's not specific), roping saddles (pretty heavy, good for stability and movement. has a lower cantle and a very sturdy horn👍), barrel racing (light, deep seat, very secure to keep u in place. good for sprinting and quick turns. you can do trail riding in these but not roping.), or like trail saddles (like western endurance saddles. they're comfortable w a lot of padding. they can also j. not have a pommel. but they're still a bit different from english saddles for a variety of reasons)

there's also side saddles but idk how relevant this wld be. for sidesaddle. 👍

idk what breed ur preferring but ik off the top of my head ardennes are good for rough or hilly terrain. ? they're a pretty old breed and are closely related to belgian drafts if it means anything to u. they're a working breed and were used historically as war and artillery horses. good for cold weather. they're more popular in europe afaik but they're generally a pretty rare breed. pretty short with a long gait, 15-16 hands (5-5'4" at the shoulders), but they weigh a lot for their size. very beautiful very powerful

help hi

He'd prefer the english saddle because he's not usually on his horse for long periods of time. However, he's also the type of person to be very conscious of the horse itself, and if there came a time where a different saddle may be more appropriate(ie a western for long distance), then he'll switch the saddle.

for a western saddle he'd probably have the roping saddle tbh

and he'd have a variety of english saddles depending on what he needs at the moment.

emil isn't a big fan of bareback, but he'll manage. it just isn't comfortable. this would be an emergency type situation though.

and iirc I think we decided on a black ardenne :D

p5 asks !!!!!

johanna, robin hood, kamu susano-o, and adam kadmon for emil

anat, johanna, carmen, and seiten taisei for katsumi? :3

Ask Game!

johanna: what are your oc's religious beliefs, if they have any? are these beliefs commonplace where they live? do they practice this religion?

Emil acknowledges the existence of Gods but he doesn't believe in them. To believe in something means you put hope or stock into them. He doesn't. He knows they're there, but.. How can he believe in a greater being that allows such suffering?

robin hood: did your oc have any childhood heroes, real or fictional? do they still look up to them now? why?

His grandmother, Juliette Baudelaire. Before her.. Accident.. She always felt like the only one who really believed in him. He always admired her. He still does.

kamu susano-o: what's your oc's true passion? how do they pursue it? how did they acquire it? at what cost does it come?

Writing! He wanted to be a writer, make mystery novels. He still writes of all the places he's seen, but he'll probably never publish anything. Still, years reading has led to a healthy love of writing.

adam kadmon: does your oc yearn for control? why? of what? do they have it, could they ever have it? should they be in control?

Yeah, of course. When you're shaped after somebody else, you search so desperately for yourself. And you exert control where you can because its all you can do. Emil just wants to be in control of his own life. But it never quite feels like he can be.

johanna: what are your oc's religious beliefs, if they have any? are these beliefs commonplace where they live? do they practice this religion?

Katsumi prays to the spirits, asks for their protection. Its kind of hard, because his beliefs don't exactly align with Shinto, but they aren't so blatantly different? Anyways, the whole belief system is pretty commonplace in Japan from my understanding.

anat: where's your oc's self esteem at? high? low? why? what, or who, does it depend on?

Its pretty low. Katsumi knows he isn't what he was supposed to be. And that does a number on somebody.

seiten taisei: does your oc feel indebted to anyone? who? could they ever pay that debt back? do they really have to?

The spirits who protected him, to some degree Masuyo too. He doesn't think he'll ever be able to pay back the debt of them protecting him. But he doesn't need to anyway, not that he knows.

carmen: what's your oc's relationship with their own body, in general? do they have any true confidence in their own appearance?

Katsumi is a shapeshifter. But there's still a disconnect to the body he was born with. He's not dysphoric, necessarily. But it doesn't quite fit the way its supposed to. But he promised to keep his form, a promise he made to himself. To retain whatever he can of himself. So he keeps this body. But there's a reason he wears so many fuckin layers.

BONUS GENSHIN KATSUMI!

johanna: what are your oc's religious beliefs, if they have any? are these beliefs commonplace where they live? do they practice this religion?

Katsumi has no tie to the religions of Teyvat. He ignores them. Gods are real, so what. He's respectful, but he doesn't care. Kinda what happens when you get dumped into Enkanomiya.

anat: where's your oc's self esteem at? high? low? why? what, or who, does it depend on?

Relatively low here, as well. He knows hes feared by some people, and he knows hes done something wrong. But he can't even have the dignity to remember? How is he supposed to have any self esteem with those parameters...

seiten taisei: does your oc feel indebted to anyone? who? could they ever pay that debt back? do they really have to?

Masuyo and Eiji! Masuyo is keeping him alive, he.. Recognizes that more here than in Amant. And he knows he doesn't have to pay back that debt, but he feels like he should. Somehow. And with Eiji, well, Eiji taught him so many wonderful things, made him feel so many wonderful things. And his idea of paying that back, is giving Eiji the same.

carmen: what's your oc's relationship with their own body, in general? do they have any true confidence in their own appearance?

Similar to Amant, but a bit better. His body is his body, he still made those promises to himself. But here, his body is loved by another. both physically and emotionally. And through the lens of another, he's able to love it more.

[fox-buried-in-maple-leaves]

all of the p5 asks for madoka :D

oh god okay. if something i write here contradicts something I wrote in dms, this is now canon. since its public- uhm. (this is how madoka ended up from 18 to 24 LOL)

Ask Game!

arsene: has your oc ever been wronged by those around them? how bad was it? does it still affect them?

Madoka considers what they've gone through to be "not that bad". They try not to think about how isolation from their peers led to their current lifestyle. They try not to think about how the expectations from their family has isolated them. They try not to think about the small acts of injustice a person may suffer day to day. Its the whispers, the "not enough", the way they differ from those around them. How could it not affect them?

zorro: does your oc remember their past, if they have one? do they miss it? how do they feel about it?

As a result of their parents often dismissing them and what they had to say, Madoka has suffered a disconnect between reality and how they see the world. They remember their past in the way you might remember snippets of a show or a movie. They aren't sure whats real, or made up, or just a dream.

captain kidd: does your oc have any scars or injuries? where do they come from? have they healed? how do they feel about them?

They have a scar on their right eyebrow from where their eyebrow piercing got ripped out. they also have a bunch of tiny scars all over their fingers and palms from mishandling cooking utensils. They don't really care about them.

carmen: what's your oc's relationship with their own body, in general? do they have any true confidence in their own appearance?

Madoka doesn't see their body as theirs. Its just a vessel, something they pilot. They are completely indifferent to something that doesn't belong to them.

goemon: is your oc partial to the arts? which ones? do they actually partake in them? do they see meaning in them?

they play a lot of video games and they write poetry! they understand the arts, and they see the necessity in them. But to Madoka, its just a way to pass the time.

johanna: what are your oc's religious beliefs, if they have any? are these beliefs commonplace where they live? do they practice this religion?

Madoka isn't religious? I never really thought about it. I don't think they care that much. They'd probably be polytheist after all this shit though

necronomicon: is your oc skilled with technology? to what extent? is it appreciated by the people around them?

Incredibly. Madoka is really only second to Futaba but even then they could be on par if Madoka wasn't busy with their studies. And no, it isn't appreciated.

milady: does your oc come from wealth, poverty, or somewhere in between? what's their current situation with wealth? how'd their economic upbringing affect their current personality?

Like lower middle class? They're the first one in their family to get into a good university. It definitely didn't help the expectations thing.

robin hood: did your oc have any childhood heroes, real or fictional? do they still look up to them now? why?

There was this upperclassman in their school that they always thought was so cool.. though at some point he just stopped coming to school so.. Madoka honestly wouldn't remember him anymore, which is kind of sad.

cendrillon: what's your oc's relationship with sports? what affects it?

HATES THEM. They were never good at them and they have bad lungs.

azathoth: what formal education has your oc received? what other forms of education? do they have any relation to academia?

They're currently studying bioforensics! They fucking hate academia, but they want to make a difference.

satanael: has the system failed your oc? are they at a societal disadvantage? do they wish they could change it? would they? at what cost?

All things considered, they're doing okay. Again, they don't consider what they've been through to be that bad. They're not at any disadvantage. Nothing really matters.

mercurius: does your oc believe in hope? in resilience? when everything seems doomed, what do they cling to, if they do at all?

Yes they do. They have to, especially at the end. Hope and resilience is important, it keeps people going.

seiten taisei: does your oc feel indebted to anyone? who? could they ever pay that debt back? do they really have to?

All of the phantoms I think! They all helped Madoka come to terms with themself. But they don't see it as a debt to pay back. They know they don't have to.

hecate: what's your oc's experience with sexuality? how do they feel about it? do they wish they could change it?

Madoka always knew something was different about them. Gender, attraction, their body. They felt things were off, and they never really.. Experimented or explored that. Stunted growth (,: can't change what you don't really know

kamu susano-o: what's your oc's true passion? how do they pursue it? how did they acquire it? at what cost does it come?

Helping others. Changing the world means something to them. Its why they're a tutor, they like helping others.. No matter how introverted and isolated they may be. It often comes at the cost of their own comfort though.

anat: where's your oc's self esteem at? high? low? why? what, or who, does it depend on?

Its SO low. And it depends entirely on themself. Its a bad cycle they're stuck in.

prometheus: how does your oc cope with guilt? with loss? with loneliness? are they able to reach out to others for help?

Madoka's inability to reach out to others for help is what got them stuck where they were. They couldn't rely on anyone, on anything. It ate at them, some self inflicted guilt. Its really unfortunate.

astarte: how does your oc feel about their bloodline? their parents? do they have a legacy to uphold?

Bloodlines don't mean anything to them. They'll make their OWN legacy. They don't even.. really talk to their parents anymore..

loki: does your oc believe in revenge? in retributive justice? in punishment? at what cost? for whom?

Yes. That's why they're so determined to set things right with the world. They know the justice system will just blame whoever so they have someone to blame. And that isn't right, not when those who are really hurting others are getting away with it.

vanadis: has your oc ever lost someone they loved? an equal? how do they feel about this person? do they wanna go back to before the loss?

Just themself.

adam kadmon: does your oc yearn for control? why? of what? do they have it, could they ever have it? should they be in control?

Yes! Madoka wants control. That's why they're on their own. Its the only thing they can control, themself. Even if they don't quite feel real or there. They want to be the one holding the strings, please.

#☾*✲⋆. essence of myrrh #from the fate ; rowan #⋆｡°✩ Madoka

[fox-buried-in-maple-leaves]

All of them for Vesper......?

alright. cracks knuckles.

arsene: has your oc ever been wronged by those around them? how bad was it? does it still affect them?

yes, by their father. he was abusive towards vesper for most of their childhood and teenage years, forging them into a weapon, by which i mean traumatizing them into having an eating disorder and several heaps of trauma. they might never fully recover.

rest utc !!!

zorro: does your oc remember their past, if they have one? do they miss it? how do they feel about it?

they do, most of it. a few bit are blurry, and they don't wanna know why. it's a little messy, back when they were a kid, they didn't actually have any blood on their hands. but everyone around them was already shaping them into someone that would have it, so they'd... rather not relive it.

captain kidd: does your oc have any scars or injuries? where do they come from? have they healed? how do they feel about them?

yes! both scars from their work as a hitman, from overflow of their own magic, and a few from bartending. they don't really pay them any mind anymore, the magic ones feel like freckles at this point. and alee likes em, so-

carmen: what’s your oc’s relationship with their own body, in general? do they have any true confidence in their own appearance?

god it's BAD. they objectify themself fully, not only on a sexual level, but on an existential one. they're not a person, they're a gun. they know they're some degree of conventionally attractive, and they know they're a good gun, so in a way they do have some confidence; it's just completely misplaced.

goemon: is your oc partial to the arts? which ones? do they actually partake in them? do they see meaning in them?

they used to enjoy reading a lot, and they still do! they just don't read as much anymore. they know there's meaning in them, but they don't... fully seek them out.

johanna: what are your oc’s religious beliefs, if they have any? are these beliefs commonplace where they live? do they practice this religion?

they technically follow finalism on account of... being a sorcerer. and they've kinda absorbed the practices alee follows. but the mixtios could never afford to be finalists. they could never be kind enough. it's relatively commonplace not to practice anything, anyways.

necronomicon: is your oc skilled with technology? to what extent? is it appreciated by the people around them?

yeah?? like. average knowledge for a 26 year old??? people around them don't give a shit tho lol

milady: does your oc come from wealth, poverty, or somewhere in between? what’s their current situation with wealth? how’d their economic upbringing affect their current personality?

WEALTH. the mixtios GOT that bag. and they're not like. super rich right now, but they're pretty well off by virtue of being a hitman. they were, however, raised by a woman who wasn't exactly swimming on cash, so they managed to dodge the rich kid cloud. they're a little out of touch, but not due to money.

robin hood: did your oc have any childhood heroes, real or fictional? do they still look up to them now? why?

mamá... they still think she's... way stronger than they are.

cendrillon: what’s your oc’s relationship with sports? what affects it?

because of their upbringing they were always sorta athletic, they could manage, and they'd play ball with friends back in buenos aires, but they never really loved sports. it seemed... like the happier version of what was happening to them. it made them bitter.

azathoth: what formal education has your oc received? what other forms of education? do they have any relation to academia?

finished highschool! got extra ed. on mixology plus all the extra shit from their training. they fucking hate academia though. it took quinn away from them, after all.

satanael: has the system failed your oc? are they at a societal disadvantage? do they wish they could change it? would they? at what cost?

it has. the system has designated their family a place in which they're allowed and encouraged to kill and destroy others, ruining the lives of their own kin in the process. the system allowed and encouraged victor to abuse them, and to make them into a hitman. deep inside, they wish they could just... drop arms. but they wouldn't lead the revolution, should it come to it. they know they're not the one that should.

mercurius: does your oc believe in hope? in resilience? when everything seems doomed, what do they cling to, if they do at all?

in hope? they'd like to. each day beside alee, mieran, miya, everyone, it makes them believe in it a little more. resilience? they have to. if they're not resilient, they won't last another day, and they have to last. and when everything is going to fall apart? they remember that alee is waiting for them at home. that's enough to keep them going.

seiten taisei: does your oc feel indebted to anyone? who? could they ever pay that debt back? do they really have to?

alee, heidi, mieran, anyone who spared them a glance as anything other than something made to be used, anyone who helped, who helps. they could never pay them back enough. but really, they don't have to.

hecate: what’s your oc’s experience with sexuality? how do they feel about it? do they wish they could change it?

it is what you could call MESSY. sleeping around as a teen to discover themself as someone rather than something, sleeping around as an adult to give themself value. it's only when they settle down and attempt actual intimacy with someone they care about that it's something they can truly enjoy. they wouldn't change it though. it's shaped them into a more functioning adult, weirdly enough.

kamu susano-o: what’s your oc’s true passion? how do they pursue it? how did they acquire it? at what cost does it come?

right now? mixology. creation with no blood. they'll work overtime and spend a bunch of money perfecting it because it gives them so much joy, which is kinda ironic, because it only really started cause they wanted a job at a place safe for queer ppl.

anat: where’s your oc’s self esteem at? high? low? why? what, or who, does it depend on?

shawty got low low low low low low low......... again, machine to kill! depends on their utility to others, fully.

prometheus: how does your oc cope with guilt? with loss? with loneliness? are they able to reach out to others for help?

starve. work. do the job as perfectly as your body will let you. someday, they'll be able to reach out before their body forces them to. but that's yet to happen.

astarte: how does your oc feel about their bloodline? their parents? do they have a legacy to uphold?

poorly 😭 they're born to kill, almost bred for it. to keep up the legacy of the almighty mixtios, so, for most of their predecessors, they feel contempt. not for the younger ones, though. and definitely not for mamá. they love her.

loki: does your oc believe in revenge? in retributive justice? in punishment? at what cost? for whom?

yes, they have to, if they wanna sleep at night. they kill cheaters, rapists, killers, scum. sam taylor's drawn out death is proof; destiny has allowed them to shoot because these people deserve it. for their victims. for their conscience.

vanadis: has your oc ever lost someone they loved? an equal? how do they feel about this person? do they wanna go back to before the loss?

a young man that called himself quinn. destiny, academia, and darkness took him from them all too soon. and even though he's back, as sweet as the day they lost him, sometimes they wish they could go back, do something about it. they know it's no use, but at night, they still wonder.

adam kadmon: does your oc yearn for control? why? of what? do they have it, could they ever have it? should they be in control?

of their own mind. to wrestle it away from the cage and the pain it's been forced into. control of who they are meant to be. but they know that'll never be in their hands. someday, they'll make their peace with that.

Ask Game!

zorro: does your oc remember their past, if they have one? do they miss it? how do they feel about it?

There are spots in Sulien's memories. Blank areas.. Like hallways he doesn't have access to. There are days where he wonders what are in those gaps but he doesn't consider it important enough. You can't miss what you don't remember.

johanna: what are your oc's religious beliefs, if they have any? are these beliefs commonplace where they live? do they practice this religion?

He's VERY Catholic. Very commonplace! Sulien is staunchly religious, its very much part of his story arc. He prays constantly, and before every battle.

mercurius: does your oc believe in hope? in resilience? when everything seems doomed, what do they cling to, if they do at all?

Hope is nothing more than miracle. He believes in himself, in his determination. He kisses his cross and does his best.

anat: where's your oc's self esteem at? high? low? why? what, or who, does it depend on?

Sulien has a lot of walls for a guy who claims to be self assured. Always secretly seeking validation.

zorro to goemon for ohm please and thank youuuu

Ask Game!

zorro: does your oc remember their past, if they have one? do they miss it? how do they feel about it?

Ohm is the one who remembers. He has to be. He misses knowing what to do, knowing what path to take. The right from the wrong. But he's older now, he's alone now, with a reflection of someone he used to know. And he misses the past, he misses understanding.

captain kidd: does your oc have any scars or injuries? where do they come from? have they healed? how do they feel about them?

Ohm still has his facial scars! As well as a star shaped scar over his heart. He also has what kind of looks like burn scars up to his wrists on both hands! Its severe frost bite scars. His scars are just a part of him, he doesn't pay very much attention to them.

carmen: what's your oc's relationship with their own body, in general? do they have any true confidence in their own appearance?

He understands to some degree he isn't the idealised standard for beauty in his home. But he also understands that he is considered relatively attractive. And that his traits are coveted. Ohm isn't entirely confident, but he isn't entirely insecure either.

goemon: is your oc partial to the arts? which ones? do they actually partake in them? do they see meaning in them?

He's quite a fan of artists. The only art he's really good at are some musical instruments and origami. Oh! And calligraphy. Beyond that? He's not very artistic. But he sees the meaning behind the arts, and he likes it.
