Dramatis: Rotspine
Apr. 30th, 2023 08:51 pmName: Rotspine of Deleo
Age: 39
Occupation: Mercenary
Relationship Status: Widowed, following the death of her mate Feofan
Living Relations: Some of her 20 children; a sister named Marukah
Religion: A devout Dragian. Dragian is a religion primarily practiced in secret, mostly by the demonoid races of the realm. Dragian relies on the belief that Gardus, the God of Light and Tyr, the Goddess of Darkness (Rotspine's patron) are forever at war, kept at bay only by the machinations of their son, Ruhran, the God of Justice. Within the religion itself, there are three different sects, one primarily worshiping each of the deities. Although seemingly at war with one another, all sects agree that they cannot exist without the others. Given how xenophobic most humanoids are about demonoids, it is a highly-misunderstood religion. Many often assume that its followers are evil and hope to plunge the world into chaos and darkness. There are only three temples to the Dragian faith in the realm, one for each of the deities, hidden on an island just at the realm's borders.

The Sweetest Sounds
Oct. 1st, 2022 07:09 pmThe sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere for me
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere for me
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
Goodnight My Someone
Sep. 19th, 2022 07:08 pmGoodnight, my someone
Goodnight, my love
Sleep tight, my someone
Sleep tight, my love
Our star is shining, it's brightest light
For goodnight, my love, for goodnight
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
True love can be whispered from heart to heart
When lovers are parted they say
But I must depend on a wish and a star
As long as my heart doesn't know who you are
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight, my love
Sleep tight, my someone
Sleep tight, my love
Our star is shining, it's brightest light
For goodnight, my love, for goodnight
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
True love can be whispered from heart to heart
When lovers are parted they say
But I must depend on a wish and a star
As long as my heart doesn't know who you are
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight

Folkmore App
Jun. 5th, 2022 10:01 pm★ Character Information ★
Character Name: Ariadne
Character Age: Nineteen
Character Species: Ariadne is an Alastrian, considered a "demonoid" race in her realm, because Alastrians are born with wings, in addition to their arms and legs. Ariadne actually sacrificed her wings at the age of ten, in order to pass for human, but those will be coming back with her as a Legend. Compared to humanoids, Alastrians have heightened senses, but their strength is tied to their hair--which is often traded as a luxury good. Alastrians are green-skinned, with pastel hair and gray eyes. Their blood is lavender. About one-third of the population can alter their appearance to blend in with humanoids. The origins of the Alastrian race are shrouded in mystery and somewhat lost to time. Most scholars seem to believe that they evolved from reptiles, possibly dragons or chameleons. Although an unpopular theory, there is some support for the belief that the Alastrians might also be partly descended from Elves. All Elves are born with blue eyes. All Alastrians are born with gray. The theory also suggests that the magical properties of Alastrian hair might hint at some partly-Elvish ancestry. But any talk of a relationship between the Alastrians and Elves is whispered in dark corners. More on Alastrian history and biology can be found here. It's very long, so I didn't want to copy the whole thing into the app.
Current Health: Perfectly healthy.
Outfit: Ariadne will arrive wearing gray, leather leggings, brown leather books that rise to just around the knee, a red tunic with short sleeves and a cut-out back, a brown leather jacket, brown leather gloves, a bronze arm cuff shaped like a curling vine, a leather thong in her hair, and a leather pack slung over one shoulder.
( I see a mountain and I wanna climb it... )

Airy's 2022 Monthly Blessing
May. 1st, 2022 01:17 pmOn your Blessed Day this month, your Patron Pthumerian will bless you with the Phial of Argonaut. This phial is unbreakable and cannot be opened. The contents within is the pure essence of Argonaut and serves as a beacon of hope when times are dark...Literally! When you feel hopeless and lost, take out this phial and not only will it provide a pale white light, it will also chase away doubt and anxiety in the moment. Many heroes have carried this phial with them into battlefields. It is said to work more effectively with those who are physically weaker or worse fighters than others - though it's far from useless for a seasoned warrior. The more hopeful an individual, the more powerful the light in the phial will be to the point where its light may scorch nearby beasts and burn away corruption from a mind.

How Far I'll Go
Jan. 1st, 2022 05:45 pmI've been standing at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I can not go
Though I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea it's blinding
But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?
See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, how far I'll go
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I can not go
Though I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea it calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
Oh oh oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

No One is Alone
Dec. 5th, 2021 06:16 pmMother cannot guide you
Now you're on your own
Only me beside you
Still, you're not alone
No one is alone. Truly
No one is alone
I wish
I know
Mother isn't here now
Wrong things, right things
Who knows what she'd say?
Who can say what's true?
Nothings quite so clear now
Do things, fight things
Feel you've lost your way?
You decide, but
You are not alone
Believe me
No one is alone
No one is alone
Believe me
Truly
People make mistakes
Fathers
Mothers
People make mistakes
Holding to their own
Thinking they're alone
Honor their mistakes
Fight for their mistakes
Everybody makes
One another's terrible mistakes
Witches can be right, Giants can be good
You decide what's right you decide what's good
Just remember
Just remember
Someone is on your side
Our side
Our side
Someone else is not
While we're seeing our side
Our side
Our side
Maybe we forgot
They are not alone
No one is alone
Someone is on your side
No one is alone
Now you're on your own
Only me beside you
Still, you're not alone
No one is alone. Truly
No one is alone
I wish
I know
Mother isn't here now
Wrong things, right things
Who knows what she'd say?
Who can say what's true?
Nothings quite so clear now
Do things, fight things
Feel you've lost your way?

You are not alone
Believe me
No one is alone
No one is alone

Just remember
Just remember
Someone is on your side

They are not alone
No one is alone
