BAPTISM OF FIRE

❝ we're 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 , the world hated us as soon as our eyes changed into cat pupils . we were created to kill monsters , but i suppose the philosophical question is what do you consider a monster? is it a raging beast? is it the drunken father who beats his wife & daughter? or is it a king or queen taking out their frustrations on the commonfolk , depriving them of food & water . to me , monsters are all the same . they harm the innocent & the vulnerable .

why should i stop myself from killing a 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 just because he's apart of politics? what sort of code allows for us to kill vampires & griffins but stops at slaying the very men who are responsible for the deaths of thousands if not millions of men , women , & children . i'll allow the humans to call me whatever they desire . mutant , freak , abomination ... 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 . it means no difference to me . because for every king or queen i plunge my sword into , i know that it means i'm saving millions of lives in the blink of an eye ❞

muses

rules

i'm diagnosed with a few different mental disorders that sometimes conflict with my personal life

depression

generalized anxiety disorder

attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

childhood post traumatic stress disorder

obsessive compulsive disorder

please remember this if i'm being quiet more than usual towards you , not replying to threads after a extended period of time , etc . sometimes i get into really bad headspaces that make it hard for me to function on a basic level so please don't think that i'm ignoring you or anything . it's usually just me dealing with real life health issues

sorry for how long this got but here are my rules ;

THIS IS A SIDEBLOG . i will follow from cybersvoodoo

you must 18+ to write with me or even interact with this blog . anyone under the age of 18 will be blocked immediately upon interacting with my blog in anyway shape or form . i am 22 years old (will be 23 in july) myself

zionists , nazis , transphobes , homophobes , racists , maga folk , basically anyone who preaches hate are never welcomed onto this blog . FREE PALASTINE

crossovers are always welcomed!

i write on discord as well as tumblr so if you prefer writing over there just ask me!

i don't do one liners . please at least write a paragraph of information for me to work with . sometimes my replies get to novella lengths but please don't feel intimidated by that , it's just that when things click together for me during writing they TRULY just come together perfectly & i end up writing a shit load of stuff

smut is totally fine with me , it's what i primarily write anyways on my main blog cybersvoodoo . though keep noted that all my muses except leo are sterile

i don't mind writing with characters from the witcher who are based off the show counterparts . i have a weird love/hate relationship with the show though so be warned! plotting will probably need to happen extensively since the show changes A LOT from the books & the games in general

i portray the northern kingdoms in my writing as much more racially diverse with people from zerrikania & ofir appearing much more frequently . if you have a problem with that i suggest just not interacting with my blog in general

i work full time on third shift so that means my sleep schedule is royally fucked in every way possible . reply times from me are all over the place so you honestly just get them when you get them / when i feel like replying . don't send me messages asking me when i'll reply

do not god mode . things get boring really fast when another character is just dominating the entire time (unless it's discussed between the writers)

some of my characters are NOT nice people , especially brehen . please be prepared for the fact that my muses can be very violent & abusive towards your muse . please remember that this is also fictional & that my characters are not a portrayal of who i am out of character . we are writing fantasy here folks!

not a henry cavill fan . probably best you don't bring him up around me when talking about the witcher honestly

formatting isn't important to me , please don't feel the need to use fancy formatting or fancy fonts & gifs/images . write the way you want to! the only reason i use the formatting you see in my writing is just because i like the way it looks on my screen honestly LOL . but it's truly not important in the slightest

don't like my writing or the themes i explore? that's cool , but don't come crying to me about it . just block me & leave me alone please

i have ZERO tolerance for drama . unless it's like someone genuinely threatening or violently harassing another person please don't tell me rumors or make shady comments about other writers on here . this isn't high school & i've had my fair share of depressive episodes because of my horrendous childhood already

brehen , the cat of iello ; a rogue witcher known primarily for a town massacre which earned him his moniker . the mutations that brehen went through like other feline witchers were unstable . his emotions are heightened & he is highly prone to violent confrontations . after the killing of townsfolk in iello , brehen was banished from most witcher schools , especially kaer morhen . brehen once had a confrontation with the famed geralt of rivia as well , in which the white wolf promised to kill brehen if he ever massacred another town again

gaetan ; this witcher like brehen before him also had a troubled mutation process . gaetan was another cat witcher geralt of rivia came into contact with after a group of villagers in velen decided it would be better to kill gaetan instead of paying him for the leshy contract they had hired him for . when this didn't go as planned gaetan exploded with rage & slaughtered everyone in the village , allowing only one little girl to survive . despite his intense nature & rageful outbursts , gaetan is one of the more calm feline witchers

kuvo jacques (oc) ; a dark skinned witcher hailing from zerrikania , this witcher was originally a student of the school of the manticore who developed radical ideas on witchers involving themselves in the political world of the continent . kuvo eventually joined the school of the viper as an adult during the events of the witcher 2: assassin's of kings in order to both prevent them from becoming an extinct school & to be able to kill the king's & queens of the continent whom kuvo saw as being the direct link to all that was wrong with the world around them

letho of gulet ; a witcher trained in the viper school before it's rapid decline , letho was educated extensively in the knowledge of the wild hunt like other viper students are . letho is known for his heavy build & brutish appearance , a walking giant of a man covered in muscles from head to toe . letho eventually became a kingslayer , most notably assassinating king foltest of temeria in front of geralt of rivia himself . letho made a deal with nilfgaardian emperor emhyr var emreis that if letho successfully assassinated the monarchs of the northern kingdoms that the emperor would restore letho's fallen school

shaquille jacques (oc) ; far in the east past the korath desert in zerrikania , shaquille originally lived as a street orphan roaming the streets of alastra with his adoptive brother kuvo . shaquille was discovered by a witcher named corvo who invoked the law of surprise on shaquille's unknown biological father . seeing the witcher way of life as an opportunity to train himself into a warrior who could fight for the oppressed , shaquille allowed himself to be taken under corvo's wing , as long as his brother was taken with them . he was the first in the school of the manticore to demand the halting to the trial of the grasses due to it's abusive nature towards children & the fact that most boys who took the trials ended up dying during the mutation process . shaquille is also known for assisting rebel fighters across zerrikania against war lords & petty kings . this has earned him a somewhat negative reputation from other witcher's due to his insistent nature of involving himself in politics of the world instead of simply hunting down monsters

corvo of vezar ; the patriarch of alqatil , the headquarters of the manticore witchers in the korath desert . he is also considered the father of shaquille & kuvo jacques . most of corvo's history is lost to record & only those closest to him get to truly know anything about his past . despite being around a hundred years old corvo still looks to be in his early thirties due to witcher mutations slowing down aging . corvo is a skilled veteran who is known to wield a shield , something he made a staple for manticore witchers . personality wise he is a charismatic man with kind eyes . corvo alongside his child of surprise shaquille jacques was one of the first manticore witchers to stop the mutation trials on children . corvo is currently working to create a witcher mutation that can work on consenting young adults which is primarily what he devotes his time to now
