Kosmic's Many Muses

Rules and Info

1: Please don't use too much fancy text! I'm on mobile 98% of the time, so some special characters might not be visible to me.

2: Please specify which character you're talking to, and if said character has multiple versions, specify that too please!

3: Please don't put spam, hate, or unrelated advertising in my askbox. If you get too annoying, I will use that block button!

4: I'm open to all kinds of blogs! But if your blog has lots of heavy topics or nsfw, tell me first!

5: I'm okay with your character flirting and whatnot with mine, but I will cut it off if it starts getting too spicy. I'd rather keep nsfw to DMs or a fade to black.

6: I'm sure we all know that tumblr sometimes eats stuff, so if I don't respond to your ask within a week of you sending it, feel free to resend it!

7: I do struggle with depression and very strong social anxiety, so sometimes I'm just not in the mood to socialize. Please be patient with me!

8: Each ship will get its own little branch, so each character can have multiple partners without it being cheating. But I am open to my characters being in a poly ship, as long as we talk it out first!

9: You don't need to match my writing length, but also give me something to work with. I'll message you if I need more to work with, if needed!

10: If the writing starts to feel one sided, or the thread loses energy, I'll try to talk about in DMs first, but I maintain the right to just end a thread.

Appearance (physical features, style, etc.): 

Kelwyn is a large snake-like being, with four arms and a long snake body in place of her legs. She is primarily shades of blue, with bright golden yellow accents and near-white bands along her body. Her head is shaped like a viper’s, complete with a ridge of sharp scales above each eye, and a pair of 2 inch long fangs at the front of her mouth. She has a tall, golden-yellow fin along her head and neck, which she can easily fold flat, or raise tall. She also has a pair of smaller fins on each cheek, which she can also move. Her upper set of arms have a smooth gradient from the dark blue of her torso, to a shade of lighter blue that matches her markings. Her lower set of arms have a smooth gradient from the dark blue of her torso to the same shade of near-white as her markings. 

She is often seen wearing gold-colored spectacles due to her farsightedness. The glasses have a thin chain of the same color connected to them that wraps around her neck, so she doesn’t lose her glasses.

She often wears a soft, light brown robe made of cotton and wool. The robe has warm orange accents in the form of a fabric belt, the cuffs of the upper sleeves, and a connected shawl.

Kelwyn wears three main pieces of jewelry; a necklace, and two rings. The necklace consists of a length of soft brown rope and a golden amulet holding a bright blue stone. The amulet is enchanted to allow easy travel of the planes, and is a gift from her patron, given when she reached level 10. The first of her rings is a Ring of Shooting Stars, found during an expedition into a newly discovered ancient library. It consists of a golden band, holding a single large purple stone in the center, surrounded by six smaller blue stones. The smaller stones become dull whenever one of the ring’s magical charges is used. Her second ring is a Ring of Spell Storing. It consists of a golden band holding 5 purple gems. The gems glow slightly whenever they are holding a spell, and spot glowing when that spell is used. It was created for her by her adoptive father, Garnett Windsor.

Backstory:

Kelwyn doesn’t know who her “true” parents are, as she was found by a group of adventurers as an egg, abandoned in an ancient temple. The adventurers gave the egg to a local mage collage, not knowing that it still held life. The egg was placed under the care of Magus Garnett Windsor Tempendash. Having already been busy with other things at the time, the Magus simply kept the egg in a cushioned display case in his room. Now in a warm and stable environment, the egg slowly began to hatch. A week after being placed in Windsor’s care, the hatchling broke free of her egg in the middle of the night.

The noise of the hatchling falling to the floor startled Windsor awake. He lit the candles in his room with a flick of his hand, pausing when he spotted the little four-armed snake. 

[Too long, didn’t write: Windsor basically was like “welp, guess i'm a dad now” and adopted Kelwyn. His own kids had all left the nest by then, so there was plenty of room for her. He’s a great dad to her, and is still alive.]

[She’s technically a mix of wizard and warlock, because of how she was raised. She contacted her patron when she was 19 and tested out an ancient spell she had found in a very dusty book. She kinda messed up the spell, though, causing her to be able to see and hear spirits others normally can’t.]

Personality Traits: 

I love learning about new things, partially about other races and sub-races work.

I enjoy puzzles and thinking things through.

I often feel lonely, even when many others are nearby.

I sometimes awaken feeling a sense of lingering emotion, from a dream I can never remember.

I always felt out of place, like a swan raised by ducks, or maybe a duck raised by swans…

There's nothing I like more than a good mystery.

I'm willing to listen to every side of an argument before I make my own judgment.

I can be horribly, horribly awkward in social situations.

I tend to talk about magic as if everyone understands it, and cannot comprehend the ignorance of those who do not.

I am seldom seen without my nose stuck firmly in a book or scroll.

When exposed to some new piece of magic, I can’t help but try to figure out what it does and how it works.

You opened an eldritch tome and saw things unfit for a sane mind. You got rid of the book, but its words and images are burned into your psyche.

I thrive on esoteric lore. The more obscure the historical references I can include in everyday conversation, the better.

I can barely go a minute without talking about my research. I have so much knowledge in my head, and it needs to be let out somewhere.

Ideals: 

Belonging: Everyone should feel like they have a place where they belong (good).

Self-Improvement: The goal of a life of study is the betterment of oneself and the world around you. (Any)

I try to help those in need, no matter what the personal cost. (Good)

I like to know my enemy's capabilities and weaknesses before rushing into battle. (Lawful)

Greater Good: Magic should be used to protect and improve the lives of the common people. (Good)

Flaws: 

I am aware of how different I am to those around me, making it hard for myself when I try to get close to others.

I am a passive person (I will lose so you can win), I will do almost anything to avoid conflict with others, and will run and hide if people start yelling.

I am easily distracted by the promise of information.

Most people scream and run when they see a demon. I stop and take notes on its anatomy.

I talk to spirits that no one else can see.

I can get so distracted by the mystery and wonder of magic, that I can forget I’m supposed to be fighting that other Wizard.

Bonds: 

What happened at my birth, I know it is important somehow.

I’m not just another of my race/sub-race, I will prove my worth.

All I want is to find a place where I belong.

I would sacrifice my life and my soul to protect the innocent.
