Current Trend On Twt Wanted To Share On Here

Когда хочешь следовать сюжету, но не можешь пройти мимо места рыбалки:

When you want to follow the plot, but you can't pass by the fishing spot:

Válkyrie. Kyrié.

Bits and pieces 2.0 and their redesign.

They had a divine purpose to fulfill. Now they're as free as wind, as free as a bird, as free as a blooming field of piercing blue flowers. Free to roam, expand and learn.

They now bear scars left by magic, their soul is far from being pure, yet they wouldn't have it any other way - as long as they can keep people guessing if they should be addressed as "Mister" or "Miss". Because it's neither. ;)

! There are updates to their LB Arc bits and pieces marked with a cursive red N (for new). The same will be the case with updates for this post.

II. ARC. DIMENSION TRAVELER.

-They/Them

-Uses a different moniker when not in their universe

-- > Transcendental Magpie.

-- > signs as Mx. Cellophane at first, but stops later. (nod to Chicago)

-Used to counteract Merlin and Cyran (Eden) in their universe.

- N Better at their Esperia's rendition of Russian now. Fully trilingual .

-- > now that that's done, they are hopping dimensions, eager to learn everything available. Socialising and mending past wounds (not those on their body, those are there to stay)

-- > friends to lovers with a different universe's Cyran.

-Still severely thalassophobic.

-Still polite and courteous, albeit with a touch of tiredness now.

-Socially inexperienced/unsure

-- > They have theoretical knowledge, but not enough practice (aside from professional relationships)

-Still plays the contrabass, still dances (their hobbies remain adamant)

-SEVERELY burnt out

-(Partially because of ↑that) speaks slower, not as sure in any of the languages that they speak

-Uses their title of Magister more often than they used to in their LB Arc (use, in this context is, for example, when signing something, or when being addressed formally)

-Experience gender dysphoria more often

-- > their most often purchased item is shapeshifting scrolls.

-Might have a mild existential crisis if you ask them about themself (e.g. "Why do you have the soul that you have?" or "Are you mortal?")

-Hugin is the only friend they still have since the Lightbearer Arc. (As both Dionel and Berial have been sealed away.)

-After some time of rest, they will return to politics, now on a higher plane than merely their dimension.

-A bit more open.

-- >but insecure in their ability to befriend someone.

-Less prim and proper. (Sometimes unsure about it too)

-Returns to their homeland more often than the one time they visited during their whole Lightbearer Arc (80+ years)

-A bit scared of the plethora of new feelings that they are experiencing (partially through their interdimensional wanderings.)

Relationship table (will be updated):

V/Arcane Council - despite not having to do much with the rest of the council is now more open to contact and is eternally grateful to all its members (warm, welcome, a part of the council)

N! V/AltDim!Cyran - mutual curiosity leading to mutual trust to friendship and some very uncertain affection from Válkyrie's side (unreciprocated) which they will figure out to have been purely carnal, so they're still unable to love per se and, overtime, get over it. (friendship turned confusion and almost risking break but then it's all good at the end)

V/Overall or Unclear - generally positive towards magisters and other folks from other dimensions but some of them really creep Válkyrie out. Like, REALLY. And they're confused about how to feel about some of them

V/Hugin - oh they're stuck together until either of them kicks the bucket, alright. Best friends, with a bond stronger than any of Válkyrie's morals or Hugin's creations. Very trusting, very respectful. They will definitely go through water and fire together, and then have a drink and a laugh - without any formalities needed - afterwards.

V/Windmaedchen - still besties /j

Yeah, thats Válkyrie for you folks. In roleplays I'll be using them from now on. There will be updates to both posts (bits and pieces 1 and this one.) and I'll make them a world lore post sooner or later. :D

Out of topic, but... Turns out I'm unnervingly good at cards against humanity-

There's a ponderous knock at the door, followed by two smaller touches along the grain of the wood. It's muffled, but there's a fond-sounding mumble about "cedarwood" before the door creaks open. "Hello, Magister? I was told to just come in, but I thought I'd at least knock..." They seem to trail off, like they've forgotten the rest of their thought. Taking a small breath, they refocus on the scene in front of them. "I was...also told that you're well traveled, and might be able to help me track down the origins of a plant I was studying. It appeared rather suddenly in my study with some lingering dimensional energy." - magister-verdant

(magister Kyrié)

The sweet scent of smoke and cedarwood immediately fills their lungs. Kyrié peeks out from the arch that leads to their kitchen.

"Ah, good evening, good evening! I'm glad you were able to find my humble abode. Come in, make yourself at home! Unless, of course, you're planning to take me to the source of your worries. I'll ring you some tea if you so wish." Kyrié smiles broadly, the corners of their eyes crinkling, as they offer a small bow of their head in greeting. They then approach and close their door quickly, before facing the guest again. Their voice is even and slightly gravelly, which isn't surprising, given their age.

"I'm quite flattered that it is I whom you decided to turn to with your... Predicament, chère. I may not be the crème de la crème among dimension travelers but I'll be happy to offer a helping hand. Should I end up not being helpful - fret not, I'll redirect you to someone who probably knows way more than even I do about all things interdimensional. Nonetheless!" The Magister chirps rather gleefully, strolling over to one of their many bookcases.

"First and foremost, I can tell you that only a few dimensions are unstable enough for flora or fauna to traverse the dimensional barrier. Could you describe the plant to me, perhaps? Better yet- its energy?"

Little pride month celebration W. I. P.

Also known as: FROGGISH face reveal! :D

Gonna add my silly billies next to their whimsical and definitely not scrawny creator, all with their flags :3

Little "bits and pieces"-drop on Valkyrie.

(These are just some small elements that I've made up over the past couple of days. Nothing particularly coherent yet. But I'll get there eventually! :3)

I. ARC. Lightbearer.

- Third pillar (more elaboration coming with more world lore)

- Always has some spare lipstick on them because theirs smudges easily.

- Valkyrie isn't the name they were given at birth. They changed it shortly after graduation from the Lyceum.

- They love birds, especially crows. So much so, that their familiar is a raven called N Ivanko or Johann (who sometimes is their voice of reason).

-- > often compares themself (and others if they're fond of shinies) to magpies. Affectionately and with utmost respect.

- Can be quite persuasive.

- N Severely thalassophobic (the visits to places such as Rustport are always a nightmare to them)

- There is no information if they're afab or amab.

- Surprisingly enough, they are secretly very fond of music and enjoy partaking in some heavily non-professional singing.

-- > N oh, and they're not so secretly skilled with the contrabass (and guitar here and there)!

-- > (and I'm definitely not thinking up a way of bringing gramophones into my Universe because of it, not at all-)

- Since the questionable moral compass mentioned previously wasn't acquired - they were... Quite the outcast during their time at the Lyceum, but as time made them wiser and stronger - they learnt to socialise despite it... N Somewhat. Mostly in the professional field.

- Also quite the fan of dancing, especially if regarding dances as a part of different cultures.

-- > humble enjoyer of tango, simply because it's neat, not because of the feelings associated with the dance.

- N Bilingual fluent - in their Esperia's version of English and French. Conversational but not fluent in their Esperia's rendition of Russian.

- Follows no deity. Not openly, at least.

- "I keep my personal and professional lives strictly separated. My duty as Esperia's Messenger is part of the latter." © Valkyrie.

-- > N unsuccessfully tried to convince Cyran (Eden) and Merlin to follow the same mindset.

And a little relationship table:

V/general - Valkyrie does their best to be at least respected by as many as possible.

V/Adamant Syndicate (general) - keeps more or less out of their matters, unless they create conflicts within a fraction. Then they might interfere carefully. (Neutral to slightly negative)

V/Merlin (a.k.a. the Magister) - they both acknowledge each others duties, both arcane and earthly, not much than that. Mutual respect. Strictly professional relationship. (acquainted, neither friendly nor rivaling. Albeit Valkyrie is trying to move it into more friendly territory.(Professional in the sense of: them being the messengers of their respective deities.)

V/Dionel - (if acquainted) drinking buddies. (Very well-acquainted, friendly. Mutual understanding.)

V/Berial - bonded through questionable morals and the occasional need for chaos. (Kinda sorta friendly)

V/Hugin - acquainted during Valkyrie's visit to Rustport for political and arcane matters, of course, bonded over diverse food cultures and mutual loneliness. (Very friendly)

V/Cassadee - met briefly, Cas is curious about them and their magic, but doesn't admire them as much as she does Merlin. (Acquainted, Valkyrie sometimes teaches Cas some neat little everyday magic tricks.)

V/Cyran (Eden) - N ... well, they too acknowledge each other's duties, and as they're both involved in politics - they're kinda sorta colleagues. Keeping in contact, thus being on the good side of one another. Friends even. But the two fell apart, and their relationship soured quickly. It took a toll on Válkyrie. (Ex-friends, "colleagues". Tense relationship after that. Painful 'breakup'.)

N V/Athalia and Scarlita - they despise them both, since they (indirectly) oppose Dura and her reign. (Tense, very different views on the concept of justice.)

N x2 V/Andry and Brana - they were Válkyrie's older siblings, but they both perished in the flames of war within the Empire. The former is a Graveborn, but him and Válkyrie don't have much contact during this arc. The latter is gone forever. N (Neutral to negative, Andry doesn't agree with Valkyrie's radical neutral views and knows they're not a very good person)

V/Windmaedchen - they're a besties. That's it. /silly

(p.s. I'm kinda tempted to open them an ask... Cyran's and Kalix's ones are really tempting me to do so... Help I'm indecisive...)

Все персонажи: Пытаются убить главгада сезона всеми возможными способами.

Мерлин со своей сюжетной бронёй:

All characters: Trying to kill the main villain of the season in every possible way.

Merlin with his/her plot armor:

Froggish here! This is not an in-character post whatsoever, Válkyrie has nothing to do with the sin their author committed. However I, the author of this very account, feel the need to share the following:

I present to you...

🐸 Cyran.

all hail frog Cyran... Cyrog? Frogran? Cyribbit?

Some comment about a frog coming home in the Merlinverse inspired me, and... Well, I did this.

I do not regret a single bit of it.

: Author's Note :

...

Válkyrie is not androgynous enough....

I'M GONNA REDESIGN THEM AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME! >:)
