Other Important Things:

- Zephyr is under the control of a man named Silas Tross. He has planted himself as her partner but his is far more than that,

- She talks to a lot of the people who live and work in ring 7 but mostly because Silas wants to know everything he can about the people around them.

- She has two brothers but does not remember.

Backstory: tw: mentions of coercion, rape, and forced servitude

Life in ring 7 wasn’t easy but it was still a better life than their family unit would have been afforded anywhere else. They were happy despite their circumstances and given how good her dad was proving to be at his job there was reason to think someday in the future they might end up somewhere nicer. When Zephyr was sixteen her parents never came home from work. A day later citizen security showed up to inform her that her parents had been heading home when they were attacked and killed for the few credits they had on them. Without credits to pay for a service Zephyr had no choice but to let them be incinerated without any formal recognition of their passing. 

After that she realised it was down to her to bring in credits or all of them would end up in the orphanage. Zephyr took to busking in areas of high traffic, hoping her talent could be enough to tide them over till she could find a real job. It was there she was approached by Silas Tross. At first he was charming and complimented her on her singing voice and got her talking about her dream to perform on one of the big stages in higher rings. He told her he had connections. That he could help her achieve that. He’d be able to establish her as a performer and before long have her where she wanted to be and earning the credits she needed for her family. 

It all seemed too good to be true and it was.

At 16 Zephyr wasn’t ready to be an adult, she hadn’t needed to be an adult before this so when Silas provided a contract she signed on the line not truly understanding what she was doing. From that moment on he practically owned her in all ways he could without her being an android. That stage he promised her? The seedy dim lights of the Capricorn where she was expected to bare all just for the privilege of getting a few notes out. Apparently he’d owed the former owner a dancer and had decided from the moment he saw her that she’d fill the spot.

She technically did earn money from working there but extras went to Silas alone and there were a lot of extras. After claiming Zephyr for himself he started talking up people who received dances from her. Did they want more time in a more private place? Cheaper than the companions. A steal. No restrictions. 

Zephyr never really remembered after or not always anyway. Not knowing that at some point in her time with Silas he had altered her brain and her memories and left something there to keep her complacent, keep her on his side. In the shift the memories of her brothers were blocked and Zephyr simply couldn’t remember how all this had started. 

Almost ten years later she’d a shell of a person, his puppet, and very good at lowering the defences of those around her. What Silas wants Silas gets. She loves him. She loves him. She...

Meet the Tesár Family

Rowan Tesár - The Father / Oldest Brother (To Exyr and Rogue)

Rowan was a vampire for a very long time. He wanted children but wasn't able to find the right woman (or man really) to create a family. So when he came to the States he decided to build an empire. A brand for himself. He opened a pub and a gentlemen's club right next to each other. His home turf. He takes meetings for his supply business (which is black market supplier) Which is how he got inside the pack business. In doing so Caleb helped him find vampire fledglings that haven't made the change so he could help them and help make the change.

Calix Tesár - The Eldest Son

Calix was actually born from a woman that Rowan knew. Rowan found him wondering the streets before his transition hit him in the middle of the alley. He was being beaten to death by some street kids. When Rowan stepped in and helped him with the change. Calix was always a strange kid, someone who fought first and asked question later. Calix took up hockey to help make sure he didn't take his anger out on anyone. He still does once in a while but he tends to shove someone into the side and beat them up on the rink.

Zephyr Tesár - The Middle Son

Zephyr didn't have a bad childhood. Well, he didn't have the best but he wasn't an angry child. His mother slept with a vampire and created him, a half-breed. His father, not the real one, but the one his mother was with, killed her and attempted to kill him but he was able to get away. Zephyr came to Caleb and then Caleb pushed him into Rowan. He tends to be very happy-go-lucky and always offers a smile to others. Some find him ditzy or stupid. His preferred sport is Football and he's good at it. He tends to be a go-getter on the field and always makes sure if someone is going after his team he is going after them.

Thane Tesár - The Youngest Son

Thane is the youngest man and the tallest of the bunch. He tends to be crafty but aloof just like Zephyr. He tends to not be forth coming about his past but he does enjoy telling people different stories. The only one who knows the real story is Rowan and him. So Rowan got him into basketball and he enjoy's doing it. He likes to run back and forth and playing on a team, he tried hockey but he's too tall for it so he just roots his brother on on the sidelines.

Eryx Tesár - The Crazy One / Middle Brother (To Rowan and Rogue)

Eryx is Rowan's middle brother. The crazy one acts as a bodyguard not only for the kids but for Rowan as well. Eryx has a particularly fondness for ripping people apart and showering himself in blood. So he tends to go overboard and thus needs someone to back him up and relax at least a little bit. Eryx loves both his brothers and his nephews but he also won't let anyone harm his family. So if you get on his bad side you are in a world of hurt.

Rogue Tesár - The Sane One / Youngest Brother (To Rowan and Eryx)

Rogue is the fun uncle. He tends to spend time doing a bodyguard duty for the kids because he's easily able to blend into the world of College than he is in the world of business. Rogue tends to make jokes about his name calling himself red or even Rogish man. Either way Rogue will protect his family with his life. He can be a little crazy but he calms himself with a sucker most of the time the sugar helps him for some reason.

✘ — @dozenrozez | also gets a starter from huan to noctis

"Wait. are you ticklish?" Huan definitely was, not that he was admitting to it. First he wanted to check if the other was, therefore poked his side once more.

#dozenrozez #dozenrozez / noctis zephyr #❮ muse ❯ ––– huan li #idk he demanded a starter and said fluff!

[forthedancingandthethriving]

I wanted to ramble about lore so.. yeah.

Remember how I've alluded/said Blotch and Tama were from a rhythm game that was eaten by Ozymandias? And how I've basically said it was Aire Village in The Cloud's Songbird?

Of course, that begs that question.. why isn't TCS destroyed? Why doesn't anyone have a memory of the giant snake?

Simple; Ozymandias consuming the Aire Village in the rhythm game affected the Aire Village in TCS. Since the two games were in a connected universe, his venom that he used affected the residents, therefore the venom passed onto the resident in TCS.

Now that brings up my next point..

Blotch and Tama are not the real versions of themselves, and the Muses are very aware of this (at least in Tama's case).

Tama tends to also have bouts of sickness from time to time. Nothing a small visit from Vitality can't fix, but it's something only Vitality can fix, meaning that it's code based. Tama's extremely simple code meant for the rhythm game isn't doing very well in the complex code of TCS. Vitality isn't really able to do anything about this, due to Tama being a kit at the moment.

In Blotch's case, this explains her 'curse'. It's not a curse in any way. It's just that her code is so simple and messed up that it can't handle being in complex games for more than a week.

Now with the Muses.. how do they know that Tama isn't the original Tama?

Aire Village used to be centered directly between the border of Ehtil and Luminos, and the kingdoms collaborated to take care of it. Caspian blessed the original sisters because he absolutely loved their creativity when it came to songs and dancing. So when they died in the extermination, he was deeply saddened yet understood.

So, his absolute shock when he sees Tama is, of course, understandable. But he knows that this isn't the original Tama, as necromancy is extremely difficult in TCS. (Intentionally so, all the Muses have a seal over the realm of the dead.)

They're all aware of the fact that Tama isn't the original, Caspian especially so, and they can't exactly bless her. They've noticed that something is wrong with her, and they're worried any blessings could harm her. So they do their best to just subtly help her whenever her hearing decides to act out. Zephyr typically messing with the winds to keep things relatively under control.

(As for why the rhythm came was so easily destroyed, Connected Cosmos Company and Jayin in general did not see it as a profitable game. Jayin's personal copy was the one that was affected by Ozy.)

Introducing: Zephyr Skye

If Hell is forever Then Heaven must be a lie

1966 was when Zephyr died on earth at the age of 27, due to an accidental drug overdose with his boyfriend in his rundown apartment. It was ruled a murder-suicide due to both young men dying, and with Zephyr already having a bad reputation in town, he became the scapegoat for the tragedy, and his boyfriend broke things off after they landed in Hell, leaving Zephyr by himself.

Taking on the form of a demon with light blue skin and white stripes up and down his arms, cloven feet, small curved horns on his head and vampire-ish fangs, and preferring to wear his white hair to his shoulders, Zephyr considers himself quite attractive, though he thinks he could do without the horns. He works both as a drug dealer and a prostitute in order to scrape enough money for his survival, because what's Hell without some terrible job, right? He lives on the edge of the Pride ring in the most rundown district, mostly to try and hide from loan sharks and Overlords looking to make a deal, not to mention trying to hide on Extermination Days so he doesn't end up a shitty chair or a garbage can.

When he heard of Charlie Morningstar's ideas for redemption, Zephyr, like most Sinners, thought she was fucking nuts, but when she successfully stopped the earlier than expected Extermination Day, he's begun to wonder if she really is as crazy as people think she is. Zephyr becomes one of the first Sinners to join the Haz.bin H.otel after it's rebuilt, though he has doubts that redemption for himself is even truly possible. It can't hurt to give it a shot right?

" You know, Zephyr, " There was a soft huff as you gazed at the water your legs were relaxing in, and you seemed to grow more at ease. " Have you ever looked at the stars? I mean - I mean REALLY look at them, " Your voice was soft, as you moved to tilt your head back. To gaze up at the sky.

" I wonder what stories they'd tell... "

"and you yearn? even after all this time? after all this?" (To Adam for that sweet sweet angst baybee)

misc sentence starters

@zephyr-iffic

At first, Adam was silent, the mask hiding his intense gaze. He then took a small step forward and dared to reach out with a gloved hand, lightly touching Zephyr's face.

"Even after all of the time and distance put between us, after all the fighting and the destruction, one thing is certain... Not a day goes by when I don't think of you. I will always yearn for you."

Q. Do they have a signature look or fashion? (ALL)

Andromeda: Basic t-shirts. Block colours, usually grey tones and blacks but some deep blues make their way in too. She doesn't often have to leave the office so it's mostly hoodies do but she'll swap out a hoody for a leather jacket if she needs to make a trip for some reason.

Zephyr: Silas dictates everything Zephyr wears. She's usually very well put together. Perfect hair and make up but usually showing more skin than she would actually like to. Bold colours draw attention to her which is what she wants. On stage her outfits range from leather to lace but they're not exactly made to be worn for long.

Left to her own devices which is rarely Zephyr enjoys soft and warm fabrics, usually something she can curl up in like an over sized sweater.

Tyler: His look is actually pretty alternative. Checkered or striped pants, safety pins sticking out of his clothes. Studs. Patches. Big steel capped boots which people barely see cause he's behind the counter.

[virulent-spark]

Battle styles... let's see...

Fox:

Fox is a trickster, so it only makes sense that she would order her Pokémon to use moves like Hypnosis, Fake Out, and most of all, Trick Room. Trick Room is what she's a master at, and she employs to destroy her opponents. Once that happens, then she uses ridiculously strong and slow Pokémon to annihilate the opponent's team.

It makes battles against others much easier, because most people choose speedy partners, especially those who actually have tried to hurt her. She's also rather ruthless when she gets serious, and this is why she's the only member of Virulent Spark that has ever achieved Championship in any manner.

When cornered, she laughs, maniacally, at the misfortune of her enemies that get caught in the trick room. Rhyperior and Octillery devastate with their Rock Slide and Water Spout combo that hits everything before they can even realise what's going on.

In much less serious situations, she is less crazy, and much more likely to use her other Pokémon.

Spikes:

The Pokémon Spikes current have are all not evolved in any manner, but that's fine to Spikes, because despite the idea that Pokémon are stronger when they evolve, Spikes pushes her Pokémon to their very limit in order to defeat her opponents. Someone thought a zigzagoon was weak? Spikes will make them eat those words. Though, she never managed to take part in the League other than by being a gym trainer, she learned all the battle techniques she knows from the Spikemuth gym.

Havok:

As a war veteran, Keith avoids conflict. The explosions, the blasts, they are too much for him. However... he would absolutely fight if he were attacked. It's a kill or be killed scenario. Electricity and steel are his chosen Pokémon, and he will absolutely order his Pokémon to electrocute someone and crush to the point of death. By the time the opponent knows it, it's too late.

Lenore:

Lenore is probably the least likely to get into a real fight, she enjoys battling for the sport, and enjoys training others to reach their highest potential. Her Pokémon are grass and rock types, so she often uses binding, status effects, and sand to her advantage. She's never fought anyone for real before since Team Star annexed themselves from the Academy, though even then, battles were conducted with rules and class.

Blitz:

Blitz is herself, a fighter. She will punch a trainer in the face, while ordering her Pokémon to punch their Pokémon. Her extreme resilience is what keeps her going. Oh, you thought you were going to have a Pokémon battle? No. You're having a fistfight, too. She doesn't battle, she will fight. If you order a Pokémon to attack her? She will fistfight that too. And win. There's a rumour that she's actually got Pokémon DNA in her, and that's why she can handle getting hit with Pokémon moves so well.

Zephyr:

Zephyr is shy and that shyness is what puts people off guard when battling. Elegant and eerie, Zephyr and their Pokémon use tactics like Will-O-Wisp and Tailwind to gain the upper hand. They enjoy battling for the sport, and avoid any real conflict, but if a real fight were to happen... well, either Zephyr wordlessly orders them, or they act of their own accord. That perhaps makes them more dangerous, as there's no stopping their Pokémon from destroying their victims.

also need to think zephyr more but i like the idea of basing him off of a bat (due to him being in a chair on stage/being nicknamed chair) because bats cannot use their legs for walking, he's an air ghoul/keyboardist. imagine if he simply hovered / moved around using his wings, and his legs were merely equipped with special tendons which allowed him to hang from places? zephyr the literal vampire. count zephyr.

(I d e a s.)

TW: Blood, injury, and death

○●○

"Shit-!"

Tama let's out a muffled cry as she's dropped to the muddy ground. The cloth around her muzzle is stained with both blood and now mud too.

She wriggles in her binds the best she can to sit upright. Mud and rainwater cling to her fur as she squints, head throbbing and vision blurry.

It had all happened so fast. Some random Cats had broken into her room, grabbed her, and ran.

Tama didn't know whether to be annoyed or upset, considering this was becoming a slow recurring theme. Cats were taking her a lot more often now. Word was slowly getting out she was from the long forgotten Aire Village, and they were known for their strange affinity for magic. Among.. other things.

"Found you." The voice of Dolion hisses. There's two pairs of footsteps.

"I'm going to make you wish that it was Valiant who found you first."

"W-Wait? Cozbi?! Is that-?!"

Tama squeezed her eyes shut, and it felt as though someone was covering her ears.

Do not open your eyes, kit. The wind whispers to her. Do not open them.

She doesn't. She doesn't open her eyes to see Dolion cut down the kidnapper's body. She doesn't hear how he snarls.

She does, however, feel as she's picked up.

The paws move from her ears, and Arthur whispers, "you can open your eyes, Tama."

Tama doesm. Arthur is smiling down at her, his cream-colored fur gently catching the light. He presses his nose to her forehead. "You aren't hurt, right?"

She shakes her head before pointing to the cloth around her muzzle. He blinks in surprised before carefully cutting it off. With a soft hum of a spell, the cuts and bruises on her were gone too.

"What happened to the other bad guys?" Tama asks softly.

Arthur doesn't look down at the blood mixing with the mud. "They're all taken care of. Do you know why they took you?"

"They said something about getting paid.." She remarks softly.

He nods. "Sleep. We'll be back at the castle soon."

The kit nods and rests her head on his chest, closing her eyes. He watches her closing, before the Flamepoint cat turns his head.

His ears lower a bit, seeing Dolion standing over the one body and the few others he had cut down when the first dropped Tama. The brown and white Ragamuffin cat's grip on his sword was trembling.

"They knew your old name." Arthur spoke softly.

"Someone back in Devos employed them." Dolion finishes his thought, turning his head.

Silence hangs for a moment before Dolion kneels down, plucking an emble off of one of the kidnappers. He frowns.

"What.. is this?"

Arthur approaches and his ears pin back.

The emblem seemed to be golden, but it was far too yellow and orange. Carved into it was something clearly.. not a cat. It’s muzzle was too long, and it maw was wide open. It was standing on four legs, fur bristled.

".. terrifying." Arthur whispers, tail bristling.

Dolion pockets it before sheathing the sword he held. "Lets get going. Valiant's going to what to know what happened."

"Do you think she'll be upset?" Arthur frowns as the two begins to walk. "That we just killed them?"

"No." Dolion answers matter of factly. "You know she won't."

He nods softly, and his tail gently wraps around Dolion's. He smiles as his partner's does the same.

○●○

He kneeled before the queen, wrists bound behind his back. Commander Valiant held the tip of her sword to his neck, but her face was conflicted. Arthur stood by the queen's throne as Queen Melody looked down with a slight frown.

"You were desprate." The queen of Luminos finally spoke. "You wouldn't have taken King Umbra's bounty if you weren't."

It was silent before he spoke. ".. You're right. We're all desprate." He laughed coarsely. "I thought that, 'hey, here's a chance to get out of this hellhole'."

He hung his head more. "And, even if I fail, I'll die. I won't have to stay there anymore."

Valiant's eyes had softened the smallest bit. "Who did you work for?" The commander still demanded.

".. the group has no name." He admitted. "But, sometimes, we go by the Teeth in the Dark. It's what the Cats in Devos call us."

".. what is your name?"

"Cozbi."

Queen Melody frowned. "If Arthur hadn't stopped you from putting that poison in my tea, would you have still done it?" An unknown emotion crossed her eyes. "Or.. would you have drank it yourself?"

The silence hung in the air. His answer was apparent.

"Valiant, step away from him."

The commander nodded, and she took those steps back. The heels of the queen clacked as she descended the stairs. Soon, she kneeled in front of her would-be murderer.

Gently, she cupped his face to make him look at her. Gently, she brushed a finger over his fur.

"Be one of my retainers," she offered, "and I will offer you protection from Umbra. This incident will never be spoken of. I'll make it seem like you disappeared." Queen Melody smiled gently. "You'll be safe here."

His throat had felt so dry, that day.

And yet the tears had fallen when he said yes.

○●○

Cozbi. "A liar, sliding away."

Dolion. “to deceive,” “to lure craftily,” “to use deceit” or “to lie.”

To outsiders, the name seemed almost identical. But not to Dolion. This new name was not only his way to atone, but to till do what he did best. Lie, to keep himself safe. But now, it extended to those he cared about.

Entering the palace, he merely smiles as Nimbus and Ambrosia rush up, with the Songbird taking the now sleeping kit from Arthur's arms.

"They're getting bold." Queen Melody remarks as she approaches. From behind, the familiar sound of metal clanking as Commander Valiant approaches is also heard. "This is the first time they did a kidnapping."

"That, and someone from Devos did it." Dolion narrows his eyes.

"Devos?" Nimbus's fur bristles. "How do you know?"

"Their accents, and.. this." He takes the emblem out of his pocket. From the way it was made, it was clearly from Devos. There craftsmanship was undeniable.

But the animal..

"That's some sort of canine." Nimbus frowns.

"Canine? Like those strange animals SMG8 sometimes has?" Valiant tilts her head

The Avatar nods. "Sort of, yeah. But it's really hard to tell what this one is.."

"Regardless, I'll bring this up with King Damien next time I see him." Melody sighs. "I thought the cats of Devos were happy under his rule! By Bliss, I'm going to get gray furs at this rate.."

Dolion frowns as he looks at the emblem.

He didn't know why.. but he had a sinking feeling that this wouldn't be the last time they'd see this symbol.

=> Well, fuck. There goes the first interesting person you've met in awhile. Chased off by something about you, for some reason. Maybe something you said. You're not intimidating or anything, right? Disregarding the many knives kept on your person at all times, of course.

=> You sit in a corner booth of a fairly seedy lowblood bar. Unfortunately your more favored type of place to hang around- even for not liking alcohol that much. The people tend to be more interesting and less stuck up, and there’s the fact that it beats sitting at hive.

=> You take a sip from your drink- some random cheap cooler you were given when you said ‘Surprise me’ to the bartender. The real reason you’re here is that you just like listening to people. Given you can’t really see them, anyway. The noise of conversation- and uh, varied bickering- drowns out the thoughts of your own head. It’s kinda nice.

=> ... From the sounds of it, it’s a little busy tonight. You wonder if anything interesting will break out, and keep a hand close to your pocket.
