Dark Stars Rise

.01・Welcome! Stark here, she/her pronouns, though I’m not picky at all since I typically write male muses and I’ll answer to their names/pronouns just fine. I’m 30+ and I’ve been rping since I was 11, so I’ve been around the block a time or two and I’m real low-drama. I work full-time, so I can be low to moderate activity, but I’m always around to chat - discord upon request.

.02・I don't follow for follow and I'm mutuals only. If I follow you, it means I've read your rules and most if not all of your info on your blog (sometimes I skim if I'm low concentration that day), and it means that I'm interested in writing with you. This is permission to hit me up with asks or send me an IM! I like to keep a clean dash, so I will unfollow sometimes if there's excess OOC chatter being posted, if we haven't interacted after a long period and/or if I come to the conclusion that perhaps our writing wouldn't mesh.

.03・I keep a permanent starter call and sometimes post them and open starters just for funsies. If you don't see a starter call or open that you'd like, memes are honestly the best way to get my attention and get something started with me! I make it a point to post them consistently into my queue, and I always turn asks into threads unless you request otherwise or we do a lot of them, in which case I'll just pick a few of them instead of all. You're welcome, of course, to do the same with any I send! My one request is that you specify who you're interested in of mine (and yours if you're a multi), even if it's just narrowing it down to a few options. If you don't at least give me an idea of who you'd like, I'll probably delete the ask to avoid getting hung up on the decision.

.04・I never really practiced mains and exclusives officially before, but let's be real, we all have our favorites so please see my mains/exclusives list. For me, mains and exclusives come about as very good friends of mine ooc with heavily plotted and beloved characters and stories. Following my blog means you'll see a lot of those people, but unless stated otherwise, seeing me writing with or plotting with another version of your character doesn't mean I won't write/plot with yours, so hit me up! Different interactions for different versions!

.05・Plotting is great! Not everyone is into it, and I certainly won't force it on anyone, but my IMs and discord are available for plotting if that's what you're into. In the same token, I'll gladly talk about my characters if you'd like more information about them and how I play them, or if you wanna talk about yours! If you're a multi, I still request that you come to me with a few characters you're interested in, if not a full idea. I don't mind talking things through, but when you narrow down a list to a few muses you're most excited for, it really helps me get a feel for what kind of story you're looking for and where to go with ideas.

.06・I don't mind if you format or don't, but I only use basic aesthetic formatting myself - small text, icons and a little separator bar in most posts, and I have some banners for asks and the like. If you format to the point that your responses are difficult for me to read, that's another story, but I'm usually not too concerned with it.

.07・I ship chemistry, which generally means that I need time playing back and forth to build up some rapport before getting involved in a ship, so I'd prefer it if you didn't try to dive right into something before I'm ready. I like shipping, I love all kinds of relationships (platonic included) and I'll talk out pre-existing relationships so that we don't have to start from scratch on friendships, but it throws me off if our interactions IC go straight to dating when we barely know each other.

.08・I personally don't have much in the way of triggers outside of the obvious content most of us don't want to see - racism, incest, pedophilia, homophobia, transphobia, animal abuse and probably others I'm forgetting but would certainly notice on sight. I don't ask people to tag that kind of stuff, I just unfollow, so probably best not to bother here if you're into that. I don't generally post much in the way of triggering content, but let me know if you see something and I'll tag things as: tw trigger . I don't tag blood or violence as a trigger if it's minor/genre-appropriate.

.09・This is a Billy Hargrove safe blog. I'm not interested in discourse about children growing up in abusive environments and how that trauma manifests, nor am I interested in villainizing victims of trauma and abuse. If you're uncomfortable with Billy content, this is not the space for you, my friend.

.10・Given the nature of the monsters in Until Dawn, this blog won't be acknowledging use of any indigenous culture or spiritual practices as used in the game. The creatures will be referred to as 'creatures', 'monsters' or occasionally as a 'hungry spirit', as they appear in different cultures worldwide.

CARLOS OLIVEIRA of Resident Evil
ex-umbrella operative, mercenary.

once upon a time he thought they were the good guys showing up to evacuate raccoon city and save lives, but just a single night showed him the lie in that belief. a few days and he'd done everything he could to stop umbrella and effectively put a target on his own back with his former employer. surviving the city didn't leave too many options and he was in no hurry to join up somewhere else right away, so mercenary work suits him just fine.

★ secondary / eighteen+ years old.

MIKE MUNROE of Until Dawn

part of a prank that lead to tragedy, he returned to blackwood mountain on request from his friend, josh washington. his girlfriend was one of the first believed casualties and he spent the first half of the night alone, trying to track who he believed was her killer and befriending a wolf dog before finding his way back to his friends. he risked his life and made tough decisions to ensure the survival of as many of them as possible and sustained serious injuries in the process, but ultimately survives and makes a problem of himself to go back for 'his' dog when help arrived.

⎯⎯ ★ ⎯⎯.01 PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
_{HAIR. Blond and generally kept somewhat short, his hair also tends towards being on the messier end of things. Running a hand through it is his go-to in dealing with it in his various adventures, but there’s a reason for the short, spiky cut – it’s easy to care for. He’s had it long in the past and even had a beard before, but the worst he tends to get is a 5 o’clock shadow nowadays.EYES. Keen blue eyes that notice everything and trust nothing.BUILD. John has a wiry build, certainly strong enough and good at getting out of situations, but he doesn’t work out and eat right like people who care do. He’s 5’11”, which puts him solidly in that ‘tall-but-not-too-tall’ range, and since he likes not standing out in situations, that works out just right for him.SCARS. Over the years, John has collected a wide array of smaller scars, most of which have a story that he doesn’t really want to tell, but he’s rarely asked once anyone gets a look at the deliberate markings he wears. Underneath the suits he wears, he has runes and spellwork branded, tattooed and scarred into his skin to protect him from possession and attacks. He also has a pine tree tattooed on his right ass cheek, compliments of Swamp Thing.FACE CLAIM. Matt Ryan}⎯⎯ ★ ⎯⎯.02 BACKGROUND
_{BIRTH PLACE. Liverpool, UKETHNICITY. BritishFAMILY. Father - Thomas, Mother - Mary Ann (both deceased), Sister – Cheryl (deceased), Brother – unnamed twin “Golden Boy” (stillborn, deceased).EDUCATION. Secondary school (high school) equivalent formally. His magical education is highly varied and largely self-taught with teachers and mentors in specific areas occasionally.NOTABLE SKILLS. John is an accomplished magician and occultist, which is no small feat considering some of the messes he’s been in and dealt with, but perhaps his greatest skills are actually more mundane in nature. He’s a con man, to put it simply, and he’s both very intelligent and very clever – two vastly different things, but which work together extremely well to make John a force to be reckoned with. His winning moves are usually to outsmart a foe rather than to brute force his way through, which makes sense when demons, angels and even God might come calling.LANGUAGES. Usually the dead kind, but also varied.ABILITIES. He's been called a 'jackass of all trades' before, and while it was meant as an insult, it doesn't fail to get the point across at times. It can't be overstated that he's a powerful magician and occultist, but somehow it's the easiest thing in the world for others to forget. He comes from a bloodline that sometimes produces powerful individuals described as having a 'thumb on the balance', and known for shouting defiance in the faces of deities and outsmarting them. Pair that with an often subconscious use of the Laughing Magician's trademark synchronicity magic, and John is both clever and lucky, for better or worse.Besides synchronicity wave traveling putting him in the right place at the right time and creating his own luck (allowing him to survive and overcome incredible odds, but only for him), John has been known to use astral projection, divination, both summoning and exorcising, curses and wards (on people, places and objects), occlumency, necromancy, illusion, pyromancy and even resurrection by simply walking out of the afterlife. If he puts his mind to it, he can generally figure something out.}

⎯⎯ ★ ⎯⎯.03 MEDICAL RECORD
_{MENTAL. John is a cynical, sarcastic mess of a man who puts on a show of being confident and in control even as everything is falling down around his ears. Those moments can be followed by a period of heavy drinking and depression brought on by the survivor’s guilt, more guilt for what he’s had to do and self-loathing. He’s quite literally haunted by the spirits of old friends who’ve either died because of him or simply because they were involved with him, and plagued by nightmares of the worst of it – Newcastle at the top of the list.PHYSICAL. It should come as no surprise that despite being in decent shape, John is not particularly healthy. He drinks, he smokes, he doesn’t eat well or exercise and he does a whole lot of questionable things. His smoking lead to lung cancer, which was killing him until he manipulated multiple Lords of Hell into healing him after he sold his soul to all of them – if he’d died, they would have been forced to go to war for his soul, and since none of them could risk that, the only option was that he couldn’t be allowed to die. It’s still unknown if he can die now, though the First of the Fallen would love nothing more than to get his hands on John’s soul.FEARS. Hell, first and foremost. He knows all too well what’s there, and he’s made a lot of enemies. He's also afraid to get close to too many people, knowing that becoming friends with him is all too often a death wish.EYESIGHT. Just fine. He doesn’t need glasses, but he’s no sharpshooter, either.DRUG USE. Surprisingly not much more than weed. He’s taken them before, but his trips can get pretty dangerous, so it’s not a habit he’s into.ALCOHOL USE. Extensive and one of his favorite coping mechanisms for seriously bad states, though ‘favorite’ is a misleading kind of word. He doesn’t like that it’s how he is, but he also doesn’t stop himself. He’s also a fairly high-functioning drunk, especially if adrenaline gets involved, and can do a pretty decent job of most rituals if the need arises – and the magic sobers him up afterward.DIET. Abysmal, if we’re honest. He eats whatever, whenever, and isn’t all that picky. As long as it’s not just cigarettes and alcohol, he’s doing alright.}⎯⎯ ★ ⎯⎯.04 PERSONALITY
_{ZODIAC. Taurus (May 10th)ALIGNMENT. Chaotic NeutralHOGWARTS. SlytherinPOSITIVE TRAITS. John is charming, clever, attentive and has a way of making people feel comfortable around him. His confidence can be contagious if experienced by the right people, and given his track record of surviving bad situations, he’s not the worst person to have helping you with a situation. He gets the job done, and oftentimes in ways that nobody else would have thought of – or been willing to pursue. He’s the guy who will make the shitty decisions that nobody else wants to make, and he’s a survivor, through and through.NEGATIVE TRAITS. For all of his charm and confidence, John is also a conman. It’s not always even intentional, because he generally means well, but just because he can come off as earnest and trustworthy doesn’t mean he should always be trusted. He has betrayed friends with the ‘needs of the many vs the needs of the few’ and while it tears him up, he’d do it again. John doesn’t hesitate over the Trolley Problem, as much as it pains him to make the decisions. He’s often called a bastard for a lot of reasons, and his ability to be the ‘necessary evil’ in a situation is very high on the list. His survivability has sometimes come at the cost of others, as well, and while he has the fact that he can’t help anyone if he’s already dead on his side, it’s still cold comfort to those left behind – and he’s left a lot of bodies and ghosts in his wake.}

ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD・ main verse

Theseus Cassio Lowood inherited the mantle of ghost hunter from his father along with the athame that he wields against the angry dead, using a combination of heavy research, tracking local legends in each area he hunts, whatever magic he can manage through his mother's efforts and the blade itself. His goal is to save lives and hopefully put the souls of these vengeful victims to rest - because it's nearly always the victim that's left behind, still suffering long after the act that killed them and dragging others into their pain. Each new area he and his mother move to (or visit, upon settling in Thunder Bay, Ontario for awhile) begins a new cycle of research, tracking and finally dispatching the murderous spirit before moving on himself, and he's become rather good at being the 'new kid' in school and social groups, fitting in to gain information on the local legends and area despite his overall 'grump' status and preference for not getting close to people. Why should he, when he's not planning on sticking around?

DEAR ANNA・ main sequel verse

Having survived his father's killer ten years previous and experienced the heartache of losing the one girl he's loved, as doomed as that love may have been, Cas continues the hunt with a surprising change in his habits - he has friends, and it becomes a team effort. Eventually moving to the Twin Cities, Minnesota, Cas and his friends begin a podcast writing episodes about the ghost hunts he does, telling the victims' stories and the adventures they find as a way to help fund his actual job - the hunting itself. He does odd jobs on the side for the time being and gets to maintain his status as the guy who only pretends he likes parties when he needs something as his friends handle the more social aspects of the job.

STRANGER THINGS・ fandom verse

Sable grew up in Greenville, Massachussetts to the type of parents that just screamed jock/cheerleader prom king and queen, and she did not fit in. Her fascination with the dark side of life and beyond manifested early in horror movies and bucking social trends and styles, but expanded to her religious practices and interests. She's a practicing witch who focuses on sharper, more proactive magic - her idea of a protective ward or blessing is one that bites back at whoever would attempt to get through it. She's adept at reading cards and has great instincts for that which rests below the surface, and uses her gifts to delve into the dark history and supernatural happenings in her area for her late night guerilla radio show, All Things Wicked This Night. When Mikaela Reid, her best friend (and maybe more) disappeared under impossible and definitely supernatural circumstances, she followed the trail and found a set of stairs descending into dense black fog. Rather than retreat for safety at the knowledge of what lie beyond the fog, she boldly set forth into the heart of it.
