Can you tell me the lore of your ocs and your blog? I'm fairly new and on mobile, so the embedded links in pinned don't work for me I'm afraid. 😅

Sure thing! Thank you so much for being interested in my characters ^^

I've actually been waiting until this plot concludes to update everything, so those links won't be much help anyways. There's quite a bit, but I'll do my best to give you everything relevant to the current happenings!

There are two converging plots going on right now: The Flashback arc and the Thorezille arc. We'll start with the former!

FLASHBACK ARC

It begins with Benjin Mahkir and his backstory. Ben's ancestor, the Dominion, is a prominent figure and the head of his own church where followers worship him as a god. It's a cult.

Now, the Dominion, AKA Harlan Mahkir, is uh. Not a good guy! He's also 10'8 and I will never stop mentioning it because oh my god that's so scary. Harlan is obsessed with his legacy, so he tracked his descendant down when Benjin was just a kid and snatched him up to be raised as a perfect successor.

This was all stuff I had before everyone's favorite agent of chaos @sasster came to play in my sandbox. So. We backplotted.

Turns out Harlan was moirails with Chase's troll Orfuse Saekul, a guy who can see events from both the past and future! He saw one day that Harlan would turn into a megalomaniacal tyrant and went "Uh-oh! I should fix him!" (Spoilers: He couldn't fix him)

There's a lot more to it than that, but I don't want this to get too long, so we'll leave it at that for this overview. All you need to understand right now is that Harlan was extremely possessive of Orfuse and also currently owns all the journals he wrote detailing the events of the future.

Now, back to Benjin. Forcibly adopted by his ancestor. Grew up in an environment that was just... SO fucked. Harlan has the power to compel people and, if they take something from his hands, puppet them completely for a time. He's done this to Ben so many times that Benjin has permanently lost some control of his body to Harlan.

Ben had resigned himself to his fate, but eventually askers convinced him to try escaping, which he did with the help of his only friend, Veylin Kenshe. Veylin is a psychic empath who can feel and manipulate the emotions of herself and others. She lived alone in the arctic to avoid the pain of involuntary empathic readings!

Anyways. Veylin helped Ben get in contact with some people who could help him escape, and they did, and he was safe and happy. But Harlan didn't really like losing his heir, so he kidnapped Veylin (who he knew about through Orfuse's journals) to 1) find a way to use her powers for his own gain and 2) bait Benjin back.

Soon after that, he went and kidnapped Orfuse's descendant too, just to have him. You know. As a keepsake. Veylin and Zurven get close while they're trapped together.

Then Benjin found out they had Veylin and came running back without thinking because that boy's got some MAJOR trauma from watching Harlan kill the last person he dared to care about.

And Harlan is thrilled. He's got his puppet (Ben), his tool (Veylin), and his trophy (Zurven) all right in front of him. He starts having fun.

That's when we get 3 separate drabbles showing how he fucks with each member of Flashback in a specific way! Veylin gets his symbol carved into her arm, Zurven has his powers triggered beyond their limit, and Ben has to relive his traumatic childhood organ lessons for an audience (Zurv and Vey)

They're really only getting through this by leaning on each other. Anywho! That's status quo for PLOT ONE OF TWO. Harlan's fucked up game of house where he traumatizes 3 young adults for fun.

THOREZILLE ARC

Chase and I made new characters together, and then we roped @ask-the-troll-boys in as well. Hi Dami <3

Welcome to Thorezille, an idyllic town with an associated cavern, run by Remora Ofidis and Redivi Duxile respectively. Redivi is Chase's! Remora's his husband :) He's very in love! A little too in love, honestly. It's scary.

I can't tell you too much about Thorezille, because a lot of that is still being revealed, but everyone is aware by now that things aren't as perfect as the seem, as evidenced by my ship w/ Damien, Canidly Fowl Harts, made up of Theoci Chorda, Marqez Tsakal, and Hirsch Geweih (Damien's!) who live there.

Theo was raised in Thorezille by Redivi himself, but he moved away for unknown reasons before returning with his two boyfriends.

We (actually just you guys) don't know how these plots converge, just that they do, thanks to a vision Zurven had of Redivi being pissed about Veylin.

There are, of course, other characters and other plotlines going on, but this is getting long, so I'll leave it here unless you want me to explain certain character specifically!
