“ Then I met you. “

“ It all got too corporate “

“ I don’t hang with them anymore. “

“ How did you end up here? “

“ What are you up to these days? “

“I can’t believe you’re alive! I saw you die. I mourned you. I cried for you.“

“How was I supposed to know? I can’t the see the future. I’m not a witch.“

“ Right here on the sidewalk or right here where the building’s being demolished? “

“ I swear I left them right here. “

“ I choose to run towards my problems, and not away from them. “

“ Because’s that what heroes do. “

“ Well, I was thinking that you drink too much and it was probably gonna kill you. “

“ So, if I’m gonna die, well, it might as well be driving my sword through the heart of that murderous hag. “

“ Do you have a better plan? “

“ It sounds like you had a pretty special and intimate relationship with (item) and that losing it was almost comparable to losing a loved one. “

“ Yeah… it’s probably for the best that we’ll never see each other again.

i can’t stress enough how frustrating it is when people don’t, & BELIEVE me a role-player knows when you haven’t. before interacting with the individual, READ THEIR RULES. pay at least that bit of respect to them & READ THEIR RULES. most of them have the same content but others don’t so READ THEIR RULES. they might have important stuff on there about what makes them nervous or their preferences or information so READ THEIR RULES.

because I was doing a meme tag for @lysius and realized the list of scars were so extensive because a) i’ve never typed them before and b) didn’t want to make this longer than the meme, so here they are. obvious tw for descriptions of violence. 

from antiquity

miscellaneous, jagged marks across her forearms from shielding herself, self-defense. early Christians (and sympathizers) were often brutalized and thrown in the Colessum instead of gladiators to provide entertainment to their polytheistic neighbors, and she was no exception. One day I’ll do a write up about her being tossed into the pit and needing to be rescued. 

from the middle ages

the norman sack of rome left a gnarled burn between her two shoulder blades from when she was trapped alongside many citizens in the burning city and pinned down burning pieces of wood. the spot now has many other wounds intersecting it, one for every time the city was sacked or invaded. 

from the same invasion, there is still a rough line drawn ‘round her neck from her the soldiers cutting her throat on the streets below the castel sant angelo. it’s had 1000+ years to fade, so you likely won’t notice it but she does and it absolutely has turned her into the kind of woman who sleeps with makeup on and leans on high collars or low, bright necklaces that sit on her chest to keep you from staring at her neck. 

her inner thighs each bear a single, thick mark from fighting in the crusades and having a scimitar thrust between her legs and clear aim for the femoral artery in either leg. 

from the renaissance

her stomach has a thick, straight scar from the italian wars, when she was run through to the hilt in the streets.

more aggravation of the scar on her back as the holy roman empire invades rome and force her to run the gauntlet in the 16th when the holy roman empire invaded – figuratively and literally stabbed in the back. 

probably ends up with some temporary sore scars from picking up the plague at one point or another but by a generation or so, those fade.

contemporary (ish) onward

at the tail end of wwii, germany bombs the vatican and leaves blossoming, red welts and scars in its wake. though she recovers mobility, the right side of her body remains scarred in varying degrees.  

misc

 powers hc  masterpost

I’ve been sitting on this for a 1 year+ and hinting around these in threads, so it’s long overdue. anyways they’ll vary slight in aus and of course, I’d hit you in ims before trying to use them.

Silver-tongued; less from the Biblical connotation and more in the colloquial sense, the means to exert influence over others, and talk them into making decisions they wouldn’t ordinarily be inclined to do.  Although, as the Bible does eventually warn of the inadequacies of wickedness,  there are related limitations. Like a siren, she’s charmed mercenaries and soldiers alike into marching to their deaths for the sake of the greater good, of serving a higher purpose but she couldn’t convince a stranger to take their own life simply for the sake of being malicious or trying to intimidate someone. Probably less effect on other deities if not flat out ineffective. 

Why won’t you die™; While you can kill her, Vittoria is not good at staying dead. Though unlike Lazarus who needed a miracle from Jesus, her wounds will eventually heal, her heart will return to beating once more, all unassisted. You’d need to do something to destabilize her followers and land (re: the Italian Wars, Unification) to have a chance of her staying dead. Likewise, if you take a knife to her hand and cut it, it will heal rather rapidly. If the cut is shallow enough, you might be able to observe her skin seem to stitch itself back together. 

And I can’t think of a single word to describe this, but because her lineage stems heavily from gods of war, Vittoria is extremely adept at learning how to use (and care for) new weapons. Even though it’s been far too long since she’s been allowed to be armed, much less fight, toss her a sword and shield and the learning curve for remembering how to use them wouldn’t be steep at all. This exception to this is any kind of projectile weapons (guns, spears, etc) that weren’t in use during her heyday and begin to overlap into the domains of other deities that aren’t related to her in any way. 

Blessings: Although precisely what kind of a granted blessing or favor she can give varies by verse, gifts under her domain are possible. Soldiers can be spared from death on a battlefield, or ensured a swift one if death is seen as the honorable ending for them; the gift of Sainthood; and bringing good fortune to an individual, item, or their relatives have been common blessings bestowed.  

And probably a predisposition for getting along with wolves thanks to dad. But is that even a hc at this point?

 VERSE DEPENDENT:

The ability to change/enhance her physical appearance at will. Not quite shapeshifting, more for crossovers with pjo/hoo and dc comics etc where the Gods are capable of altering their appearance for disguises and such. 

Complete teleumkinesis: the ability to manipulate weaponry, usually attributed to having the lineage of Mars/Ares running through her veins. Related to her ability to master new weapons. 

important appearance note

      Vittoria is 100% the kind of woman you will never catch without makeup in contemporary times. While she can’t be bothered to do a full face, it’s largely due to the fact even centuries after the Norman sack of Rome, you can still see the scar from where her throat was slit. It’s not as vivid as it once was, but it did leave a deep emotional impression on her. 

     It’s a vivid memory of a time where everything fell out of her control, helplessness, and fear.  And as such, it’s both distressing and embarrassing for her to have to acknowledge or look at. After all, how could any war god’s progeny allow themselves to so easily bested in combat? 

    At least in contemporary times, we have wall after wall of foundation and concealer to choose from. In historic times, powders could do little more than take the redness out before it began to fade, and so she relied heavily on high necklines and collars, ostentatious jewelry, or if the former were out of fashion, low necklines would assure her throat was the last thing anyone was looking at or talking about. 

All pantheons and their respective deities are very much real. 

They have a tendency to stick to the land of their worshippers, and their respective domains are carried out there. Hence, there’s not necessarily a fight over who gets to raise the sun that morning. It does get complicated when you have really aggressive state actors that are constantly invading their neighbors**

Humans can believe something into existence if enough people believe in it

In some cases (namely for fandom based threads) I take a conspiracy approach when it comes to the Bible and the spread of Christianity, and write from the perspective that it’s covering up larger secrets.

Excluding my Assassin’s Creed crossover, which has very canon specific information about what the biblical conspiracy really is, in those threads Vittoria goes on to become a servant of Jupiter/Zeus. And the newfound religion was built upon rekindling his worshippers for him, hence the reiteration of an all-father.**

That the ommitted (and rediscovered) Gospel of Mary refers to Mary Magdalene

I am… not a chronologically locked rp blog.

That means that if you talk to me to establish that we want to ship our muses, or have a particular relationship or type of report between them, I am 1: totally okay with multiple threads of varying length and styles with you and 2: will probably jump around in the supposed ‘timeline’ of our muses relationships in order to keep things interesting/ make ask prompts work.

Role-playing can become quite tedious at times. You have all the inspiration in the beginning & suddenly the muses have an established relationship and all we write is the same, or nearly the same stuff over and over. I don’t mind. But others might lose muse over it. They crave variety. If you ever want to just drop an already existing relationship, re-write a period or an entire story of our muses’ lives, feel that it would help your creativity— I’M OKAY WITH IT!

And if we wrote 5 different scenarios that were all born from 1 mutual plot we started a year ago- It’s different experiences. And that allows our muses to experience all kinds of emotions and grow. Maybe one story ended badly and it left you without any ambition to continue and yet you liked the general storyline but didn’t foretell it might end that bad. NO PROBLEM! We will simply re-write it. I am a-okay with it. We don’t have to stick to lame stories, threads that bore us…

Reblog to tell all the anxious RPer’s that

IT’S OKAY TO APPROACH IF YOU WANT TOO!

You don’t have to hide away and imagine asking me to RP. Just HOP INTO MY INBOX, MY MESSAGES, REBLOG AN IC POST, i will be happy to interact with you!!
