My version of the apprentice from The Arcana, drawn in the style of the game's sprites! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT HIM NO QUESTION WILL GO UNANSWERED I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIM SOOOOOO BAD
His name is Vasily, and the LI he goes with is Asra! Here we have his base outfit, plus his more layered traveling outfit.
This is how he looks post-resurrection (i.e. throughout the main story), after just enough physical change to not quite look like himself anymore.
His pre-plague version is under the cut, as well as a version with Asra :)
~~~
See below, pre-plague Vasily:
I have explanations for all of the little changes I made to him post-resurrection, if anyone wants to know 👀
And also him and Asra together, both to compare their heights and because they shouldn't be separated
I might also do a full height chart with him next to everyone, if the mood strikes me

I didn't have much luck the first time I posted this but it's been a couple days so I'm back in the fucking building again
(Please don't interact with this post if you aren't actually interested! I appreciate reblogs for more visibility, but if you want to reblog and aren't actually interested, please mention that in your tags.)
I'm 20M looking for someone else 19+ who wants to write Dean for a long-term Destiel rp.
More details about preferences and such under the cut!
Hard Lines/Musts:
- I rp exclusively on discord!
- I write in a 3rd person lit/semi-lit style
- My typical reply length is at least one good sized paragraph, and I require the same from my partner. I can go longer if needed, but I find that keeping replies to one/two paragraphs keeps a good flow going and doesn't get tiresome!
- Speaking of a good flow, I tend to have a LOT of time on my hands and want someone who can be active at least once a day, preferably more
- Please have some writing experience!
- NSFW is allowed and VERY encouraged, but I also want to balance it with a good plot! I'm looking for someone who wants to really plot things out and build a strong story on top of the relationship aspect
- Engage with me out of character! I love doing things like chatting together, sharing art and playlists and funny posts we see and such
Preferences/Additional Details:
- For the above bullet about writing experience, actual RP experience is preferred but any writing experience at all is better than none!
- I don't double, but I really enjoy including other characters in the plot! It makes the world feel a lot more lived in. Besides, what is Destiel without Sam sitting awkwardly in the same room while they have intense emotional conversations?
- I don't really want to write an exclusively top/dom Castiel, so if that's the dynamic you prefer then we may not be compatible
- I tend to enjoy writing in AUs more than canon universe, and I have a whole list of ideas that we can choose from! I'm also totally open to hearing other ideas if you have them
Interact with this post or just DM me if you're interested and we can talk!
And every demon wants his pound of flesh/But I like to keep some things to myself/I like to keep my issues drawn/It's always darkest before the dawn
- Shake It Out by Florence and the Machine
And I would give all this and heaven too/I would give it all if only for a moment/That I could just understand/The meaning of the word you see/'Cause I've been scrawling it forever/But it never makes sense to me at all
- All This and Heaven Too by Florence and the Machine

Okay I just finished watching a playthrough of Life is Strange: Reunion and it wasn't bad, I definitely liked it more than Double Exposure, but if I had the wherewithal to write a longfic I'd ABSOLUTELY write a mid- or post-Reunion fic focusing on the characters like Nathan, Warren, and Kate because when I tell you I was STARVED.
i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive

how does Vasily get along with Lucio? how abt muriel? which of the familiars is his favorite and does he have a familiar himself (whichever ones you feel like answering)
I'm afraid most of these questions may not have very pleasant answers lmao
Vasily and Lucio have a very fraught relationship. I think that there might be a world out there where they could be friends, but that world IS NOT this one. Lucio just has this unending festering jealousy for Vasily, because he basically has everything that Lucio wants, and that hostility is open enough for Vasily to return it. Lucio would 110% take any opportunity he got to kill Vasily dead and take his body back. They also just have fundamentally different views: for example, Lucio would do anything to come back to life, meanwhile Vasily still doesn't really understand why he's alive at all (or IF he's actually alive or just mimicking life). But if I were to talk about a world in which they are friends, they would be absolute rat bastards. They're both competitive enough that they end up getting into it in a serious way on a very regular basis. The only problem is that most of the time, Vasily is better at whatever they're doing, which only makes Lucio angrier. Oh well.
As for Muriel, I've actually talked about this before, but they aren't really friends either. In the Asra route, we see Muriel being pretty standoffish towards the apprentice, and that's something I've taken to heart. Vasily doesn't have a problem with Muriel the way he does with Lucio, but Muriel sure does have a problem with him. Mostly springing from the fact that Vasily tends to unintentionally take up all of Asra's time and attention; they've got sort of an unhealthy codependency thing going on. Obviously Muriel doesn't take particularly kindly to someone essentially taking away his only friend. He doesn't think that Vasily and Asra's relationship is healthy, but neither of them want to hear any of that. After a while, Vasily and Muriel's relationship does sort of cool off, and they become friendlier. But mostly just because Asra doesn't like that the two most important people in his life don't like each other. Their relationship never really progresses past them needing to begrudgingly wear a get-along shirt whenever they're together.
Vasily's favorite familiar is an easy question to answer: it's Faust! It's a similar situation to him and Asra, where Faust has technically known him longer than he's known her. She looooves him, because Asra loves him. Naturally she'll most commonly be found slithering all over Asra, but if it isn't him, it's Vasily. A lot of the time they can be spotted sleeping in a pile all together.
I've actually talked about Vasily's familiar situation before, so I'm just going to add that answer here!
I'd love to answer any other questions you have!! Vasily is very dear to me :)
So like, I know TECHNICALLY when Lucio steals the body back he's shown just looking like himself, because the apprentice doesn't have a single canon design so it would be possible to show it this way. And I know TECHNICALLY the rules and logistics of body-swapping in the Arcana universe don't work like this. But damn if I'm not thinking about the hypothetical of Lucio stealing Vasily's body, putting on his own old clothes/makeup/styling his hair, and re-entering the party fully wearing Vasily's face but with Lucio's style and mannerisms. Maybe even Vasily's voice with Lucio's accent. Imagine the potential. Imagine how fucked up it would be for Asra to witness that. I'm certainly imagining it
Is there any significance to the red gem Vasily wears around his wrist? Also does he have a familiar? (Unrelated but I keep saying his name as Vah-silly in my head lol)
YES ‼️ AN ASK‼️‼️‼️
Anyway there IS a little mini significance to his bracelet but probably not in the way you think, it's really just that the bracelets on each of his wrists match Asra's necklaces! And I didn't want to make it EXACTLY exactly the same because that was a little too on the nose for my taste lol so I made it red, since he has a lot of red in his color palette! Which, to be fair, IS an allusion to the plague. So I guess you've got me there
As for whether he has a familiar, I talked about that a little in another post that I made but the gist of it is that no, he doesn't. I think that dying and being brought back to life really fucked him over in a lot of ways, especially in the soul area, and since familiars are a soul-related bond, he's not really able to bond with an animal anymore. One thing I did bring up in that post is that MAYBE if there was some other kind of super magically fucked up animal that he happened across, it could work, but that's purely hypothetical. Really, in my mind, Scout sort of acts as his familiar in a way? Not in the traditional sense, obviously, but in the sense that he and Scout are connected since his patron is the Fool.
But I imagine not having a familiar is something he sort of struggles with? Not necessarily in a 'feeling left out' kind of way, although that could be a small part of it, but more in an 'identity crisis' kind of way. Like, a 'he lies awake at night thinking "am I a real person anymore" and genuinely doesn't know the answer' kind of way. But that could be an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT post so I won't get into that right now hahahahaha
Thank you for the ask!!!! I'm so happy to have received it!!!! Everyone please send me more at your earliest convenience!!!!
(Also for your sake and the sake of others who may need it, it's pronounced vuh-SEE-lee lol)

So obviously what we see of Asra and Julian's dynamic shows pretty clearly that Asra takes on a more dominant role and Julian is more submissive, but honestly with Asra and Vasily I like the idea of Asra being able to let go of that a little sometimes. Because not only do I not imagine Vasily to be especially submissive (save for some certain occasions, he's versatile), but I also feel like there's something to be said about Asra's thoughts about Julian being sort of like "I need to keep complete control of this relationship at all times because I know our feelings for each other are imbalanced and I can't let this get out of hand or else we'll hurt each other" versus Asra's thoughts about Vasily being more like "I would literally do anything for you if you asked, bar none"
New character!! This is my irl best friend's version of the apprentice (drawn by me):
Her name is Gwyndolina, and the LI she goes with is Julian!
My friend isn't on Tumblr, but here are some things she wants you all to know:
Gwyndolina and Vasily are best friends in-universe
She is NOT the same apprentice who died in the plague; she survived it, Vasily died
She worked with Julian during the plague, but they didn't have a romantic relationship until after he returned to the city post-running away from Vesuvia
(So Gwyndolina and Vasily were apprenticing with Julian and Asra respectively at the same time!)
She's very prim and proper and maybe a little snooty, but Julian brings out her fun/chaotic side
(Height comparison with Julian under the cut, plus a version with Gwyndolina, Julian, Asra, and Vasily!)
