Celeste Sovanna is well known, for many reasons. She’s known as the daughter of the Nightmare, arguably the most evil and prominent threat the kingdom of Roviern has ever faced. She’s known as the Dream Thief, as Mara, as the person to go to when the Dream Realm troubles you. And most recently, she’s known as the Witch of Morovi Forest. Whatever the reason you’ve heard of her, the point is that you have. A household name of sorts in her kingdom, and decently known in others.

It’s peaceful life, the one she’s living now. That was her goal, to leave behind the hate and renown brought about by her father’s reign and downfall at her hands. A small cottage in the woods, an oasis for herself and a temporary sanctuary for anyone seeking her help. And it’s perfect.

Too perfect, it would seem, as the Fates have decided Celeste’s hardships are far from over. The King of Roviern shows up at her door one night, to request her aid in finding an incredibly powerful item that once belonged to her father, but has gone disappeared. Knowing the damage that the item could cause in the wrong hands, she reluctantly leaves her cottage with the King, starting off on a journey to the most likely place it could be. The palace of a neighboring King, one of her father’s closest allies and an enemy to Roviern.

1. No OP characters, or I will yeet your ass outta here before you can say 'this bitch empty'. I can't stand invincible characters, man.

2. Proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization, please. I can get making a few mistakes, when you're tired, or English ain't your first language(It's mine, and even I have my issues), but if it's too common a thing, it irks the hell outta me. Call me a bitch, but hey.

3. Slurs, homophobia, transphobia, rascism, sexism, anything that ends in -ism and that harms or promotes the harm of other people will not be tolerated. See my first threat. Certain exceptions can be made for things important to a character's development and backstory, but they have to be cleared first.

4. Detailed-ish responses, please. Think three or more sentences. To keep it going.

5. Please, be on fairly often. Vacations, school, and jobs are all things I can get, but I'd like for this to have a regular pace!

6. andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules always apply.

7. This is rated M, because I am, in fact, looking for someone chill w/ smexy stuff and the occasional dark theme/violent-ish moment. When one of the main themes and a huge part of a character's backstory is tied to a genocidal and abusive villain with a god-complex, there are bound to be a few not-so-nice things.

8. I have the full right to add and edit this list. I also have the right to boot you if you're causing too many problems.

Got any questions? About the world, the character spot open, anything? Ask me, it's cool. Beyond that, a temp is on it's way!

Name: Celeste Sovanna
Nicknames: Essie(hasn’t gone by this in years, because it’s what her mother used to call her.), Cee, Sovanna, Dream Thief(that was a long story…), Mara.
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Her hair, which is cut to a little below her shoulder blades and swaps between curly and wavy, does a weird thing with the color, completely naturally. It starts black, sort of like her roots and an inch or two down, and then suddenly becomes a sort of really light purple, almost white. She has absolutely no clue how it happens, but she thinks it looks cool. Darker skin, half from her exposure to the sun and half from her heritage on her mother’s side. Her ears are slightly pointed, just enough to be noticeable if one is looking.
Smol. 5’3, but a decent amount of muscle is packed under slender-ish curves, which makes hauling injured animals and cauldrons and buckets of water easier. A smattering of freckles on her cheeks, which glow faintly when she’s using magic. Her eyes are slightly mismatched, color-wise. And the colors themselves are constantly changing, in the light, with her moods, for no apparent reason at all.
Her body is covered in both scars and markings. For the scars, the most notable are the ligature scars on her wrists and ankles, the lash marks on her back and shoulders, and the large and jagged scar over her chest, where her heart is. Markings-wise, is one hell of a trip. She’s got all sorts of runes and symbols scattered around, but there are two sets of these markings that stand out the most. First, are the inky black swirls and sharp looking lines that seem to spill from the scar over her heart, and slowly grew since she received the scar, before stopping. The second is almost best described as one of the transmutation circles from Full Metal Alchemist, in terms off appearance, and can be found on the back of her neck. The designs take the form of a dream catcher though, complete with oddly sharp feathers.
Usual clothing: Well fitting but easy to move in pants, usually in brown or black, though she prefers brown while in the forest and black while in the city. Really doesn’t like shoes all that much, so she’s more often than not barefoot, but if she has to, black boots that come up to about mid calf.
Wears a loose white chiffon shirt, with strings on the v-neck that can be used to close it. The sleeves are often rolled up. Will sometimes wear tighter fitting long sleeved shirts, or tank tops, generally in white, but she prefers the looser fit. A black cloak with designs along the hems matching the color of her eyes is often an accompanying garment, especially in public. A small pouch and a dagger are attached to opposite sides of her belt, the pouch spelled to carry more than it appears to be able to.
Personality: Somewhat guarded and untrusting, but always wants to help people as much as she can. Cares for animals with all her heart. Loves singing, but she avoids it, because it reminds her of her mother. Will not hesitate to stab someone if they hurt innocent people, and/or someone she cares about. She literally killed her own father, but she’s probably one of the sweetest dumbasses ever. Dances while she bakes, and baking is a stress reliever for her a lot of the time. Doesn’t think she deserves love, or that it even could find her.
Favorite Food/Drink: She’s a fan of food in general, but if she had to pick favorites, sweet things. More specifically, these cake balls she makes(think cake pops without a stick and frosting shit). For drinks, anything carbonated, but hot chocolate comes in a close second. Despite being a witch, she literally can’t stand drinking tea herself.
Skills: Magic, whether with plants or her Sleep Charms. Cooking, and singing. Animals absolutely adore her. She’s good with a dagger, and fluent in a startling number of languages.
Fears: Small spaces, bindings, complete darkness, her own dreams, spiders, and commitment.
Magic: Well she’s a witch, obviously. So anything from using plants to accomplish things, to communicating with animals. He specialty, though, is sleep. What does that mean, you ask? Well, a lot of things. From manipulating other people’s dreams and controlling her own, to putting people to sleep with skin-to-skin contact(or a verbal spell, with enough time and energy).
Background: Obvi the bits dropped here and there, but fairly vague for the sake of fun. She was born to the Nightmare, an evil man, and his wife, a shaman’s daughter from a desert tribe in the Ravakian Desert. She ended up killing him after witnessing him murder her mother, when she was seventeen. Then she fled her ‘home’, travelling for two years before settling down in the Morovi Forest.
Other: Her familiar is a grey wolf, who she calls Pluto.

bloop

mmmmmm watcha saaaay

I'm still holding out hope that this bump will be the last bump necessary

Oooh this looks interesting! Mind if I join? (although to warn you, I am about to go on vacation so my responses will be slowish sometimes)

Adfgdsadf I would absolutely love for you to join. And the vacation thing is chill, I've got my own things coming up too. Just fill out the temp and post it, and we can start!

Alright cool! Quick question about my character sheet…is it okay if I leave it a little vague in some parts? Since I prefer to fully flesh out and finish my character as I go, as I like to let my characters grow as I RP them, rather than be confined to whatever I first put on my OC sheet

That's absolutely fine! I like templates as a way to give me a reference for my own character, or little things like the appearance of my rp partner's character, but I know plenty of people who prefer vague and building as they go. It's totally cool my dude

Alright thanks! One last question and then I promise I'll get a sheet up…do you have a gender you would prefer my character to be?

Lmao it's cool. Male, preferably, to fit the sort-of vibe in my head of a king and a witch

Alrighty then!

So i lied……..do you want him to be a king, then? I really do promise this is the last question I just like getting everything ironed out before I make my OC sheet…

The questions are fine my dude, don't worry. Yeah, a king!

Coolio, will make him now then :)

Name: Soren Josef Aevin
Nicknames(if applicable): none
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Appearance: Soren is tall, with dark, slightly wavy hair. It is kept trimmed, though not too short. It already has a few white hairs by his temple, from the worries of the court and the kingdom. Typically, a golden crown sits atop his head. He is approximately 6'2", with a lean, slim body. He has bright blue eyes that are ringed in darker blue, with a slight rim of white right by his pupil. Those distinctive eyes are a common mark of the Aevin line.
Usual clothing: It varies depending on his duties for the day. As one of the youngest kings in the lands, and without yet an heir or wife, or even a fiance, he typically wears a layer of light armor beneath his clothes, in the form of an enchanted shirt that is nearly impervious to attacks. Over that, he wears whatever is deemed necessary for that day. Were it up to him, he would stick to comfortable, looser clothing.
Personality: Soren can be a bit reserved when in front of the court, but when alone with someone he trusts, he laughs and is very easy going. He can be a bit pensive, and frequently has a worry line between his eyebrows from the day to day issues of keeping his court in line. Many of the nobles of the court would easily turn on him if they thought they could take his throne, and he doesn't trust many, especially not any of the nobles around his own age, and not anyone who has any relation to his own family. He wishes he could trust more people, but does not give that trust easily or quickly. He also guards his heart, and wants to marry for love, but knows that he will most likely marry for an alliance instead.
Favorite Food/Drink: unkown
Skills: swordsmanship, speaking (coming up with speeches off the top of his head so that the nobles aren't at his throat, rather), others that may come up
Fears: TBD
Magic(if applicable):
Background: TBD
Other: Is king of the kingdom of Ithaein (ith-ay-in), and the youngest ruler currently on a throne. He has no surviving family, as his parents are both dead, and he has no siblings.

(i gtg to bed now, and will likely answer again sometime tomorrow. I hope he's okay!)
