psd by me, do not take.
private, selective, particularly gifted onymodo practitioner named renge ito.
25+ / goes by lily she/her, lover of dogs and local gremlin. tough big sis friend(TM).
i do not own juder’s works nor the fc for her as an adult, nor otomae’s violette as a secondary adult fc, much less kagami’s as a teenager.
i will not god-mode renge’s abilities be it in magic, the use of spirits or divination, etc.
unless there is an exception, i will always talk to you first!
keep in mind each character’s resistance is different in different things.
no god-moding / meta-gaming / info-modding .
i like to do memes / be tagged or tag others in short things to kick things off.
i am not an expert at the heian period. i am learning and studying onmyodo / heian culture / history so that i can do as much justice and respect to this beautiful culture and practice. please, don’t hesitate to civilly correct or nudge me if i’m doing something offensive as that is the last thing i want to do in my portrayal. i want to get things right.
that said, please respect my muses’ strengths and abilities / status as a person. if i feel she is not respected oocly, ic is one thing, i will likely unfollow, as renge is a onmyoji of formidable might once she comes into her own after blood, sweat and tears.
absolutely no discord / drama unless the topic is of grave danger to the rpc. even then, i will want to read both sides, because petty drama and actual dangerous people are very different things. if i see too much of it i will softblock / unfollow for my mental health. naturally this doesn’t have anything to do with signal boosts!
homophobia, bigotry, transphobia, racism, harassment and any awful behavior or cruelty are not welcome here. see yourself out if you put that on my dash and it will result in a hard block.
please do not steal my ideas. while i have dabbled in ocs, only to find them formless, this is the first solid, real original character i’ve had stick i am learning and will make mistakes and work to correct them. please be patient with me!
you don’t need icons to write with me. or graphics! i tend to write para, novella, one-liners and three to four paragraphs. i’m very flexible!
renge = lotus blossom, the buddhist symbol of ‘spiritual perfection / enlightenment particularly / ’. “ito” = thread or string.
renge is age 15- 20′s, but will have verses in her younger years as as a budding onmyoji at 15-18. i want to try and give as many options for storytelling between us as possible.
renge is demisexual / panromantic and while very chaste in nature and demeanor, typically serene graceful and a bit shy until out of her shell or ‘duty mode’ persona...she is still open to ships.
standard rules apply! don’t be a jerk and we’ll be fine!
