Welcome to the Desert

ASKBOX IS: OPEN.

Loosely MCU based (though I will accept Comicverse interactions so long as your willing to bare with my limited knowledge) Moon Knight OC RP/Askblog. Open to canon characters, OCS, and non-universe characters, as well as emoji anons and such.

Riley Koening - Teenaged Runaway and Artifact Thief whose here to 'reaquire' your heart.... And also your ancient artifacts. Riley uses She/Her Pronouns. Although Riley is her preferred name, Her birth name - Rebecca - is also sometimes used in specific circumstances.

As of currently, Riley is also the Avatar to Anubis, who might sometimes make occasional appearances. If you happen to be an Anubis Muse, your more than welcome to write from this perspective in threads/asks. Other Egyptian God muses are more than welcome to pop in and cause some chaos.

This can also be completely ignored if you wish to do a plot set prior to this, just let me know! (because I'm honestly the worst at just guessing.)

Mod is dealing with some unknown health issues and life in general - posting is a bit sporadic. Bear with me.

"Oh gods it's her!"

Realistically ry is probably firmly in the 'I'm not completely sure but this feels like it might be.' state but y'know. Granted she's also probably only just recently learning about all of it but. Just..don't think about it too hard.

Also I apologize how little I've been around lately. My joints have been.. problem children lately and it's causing some fun issues I've been trying to deal with. But that's another story for another day, happy Pride!

"Esto es incómodo." They ran into/scared the shit out of each other inside the same cave/tomb, apparently both on the same job hunting the same relic. Jake nearly stabbed the kid on impulse. Thankfully not. "How do we decide who gets this stupid necklace or whatever? Race to see who can snatch it first? Rock paper scissors? Uno?"

Secretly, he's going to let Riley take it no matter what, he doesn't care that much, but he figures he'll play it up a bit for fun.

"Sí y Das ist ein problem?" It's a horrible mismatch of German and Spanish (Gernish? Sparman?) that comes out, a side effect of thinking in one language and trying to speak in the other.

She pockets the small knife she keeps with her - she rarely carries her own weapon - and tilts her head in thought.

"What does your boss want with this thing, anyway?" Not like she knew what the importance of it was either, her own boss liked to keep her in the dark.

exhaustion.

you have tried to be Atlas for far too long. your legs tremble and shoulders creak beneath the weight of the world you carry. every step forward is a battle, yet you soldier on... for what? when will you learn that you are allowed to lower your heavy burdens?

PHYSICAL TRAITS.

feminine ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ masculine (This is one of those 'greatly ranges' questions for a lot of reasons.) scrawny ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ bulky (I've mentioned this before but she's definitely slightly underweight for her age, just given her career and how she lives.) short ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾tall weak ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ strong clumsy ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ agile (She is..a human disaster.) slow ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ fast

PERSONALITY TRAITS.

lawful ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ chaotic good ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ evil (This can get complicated depending on how you look at it. SHE doesn't see her work as 'evil' just morally ambiguous, but someone else might see it that way.) feminine ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ masculine chaste ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ lustful (She's probably Ace so this should be self explanatory) heterosexual ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ homosexual (Previous comment, I'm...not exactly sure where that would fall here.) romantic ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ aromantic (Has asked approximately one person out. She started crying and loudly proclaimed that she hadn't meant it five seconds later. Please dear gods get this kid some semi-normal socialization.) oblivious ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ perceptive ignorant ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ knowledgeable (I wouldn't say she's all knowing or something but she IS smart, I mean, she basically survives on her own, and she had a decent early education. tldr is basically that I'm reading this as being more than one type of knowledge.) pious ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ worldly (interesting question! Technically, she considers herself a follower of Khonshu. Religion itself can be a bit iffy for her - see 'was born in Michigan' - so I wouldn't say she full on 'worships' the bird, nor does she 100% respect him, but she's reffered to places as hallowed ground in reference to Khons so..idk, decide for yourself. ..also she might be Anubis's avatar now so..) forgiving ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ vengeful (maybe a little too forgiving, actually.) honest ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ deceitful (she IS a thief, try as I might to constantly note about how she's remorseful and such I can't really beat around the bush.) generous ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ selfish just ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ arbitrary (This is the only one I'm really not sure of and splitting down the middle. decide for yourself I dunno.) temperate ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ indulgent merciful ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ cruel introverted ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ extroverted(Riley seems introverted or anti-social on the surface because she's basically been alone since she was like..ten or eleven... and not only has that completely utterly fucked with her social skills, she's also pretty lonely and somehow both hates being with other people and constanly craves having another person there (a freind, a parental/sibling/that taxi driver that kidnapped you because of a cursed bird statue figure, etc.) kind ⦾⦾ ⦾⦾⦾stern modest ⦾⦾⦾ ⦾⦾proud pushover ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ stubborn (one word: teenager. who..has been on her own for her entire teenaged life and doesn't always ask like a normal teenager but my point still stands.) coward ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ valorous (ooooh, another good one! Riley sees herself as not cowarding away from danger/a crisis because of how she's basically spent her entire teenaged life. but is she..?) prudent ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ reckless(....it's in the job description?) opportunistic ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ loyal (this is another 'depends how you see her career' answer. She considers herself Loyal, to a lot of people, especially her boss, but at the same time one could argue it's the dangerous kind of blind loyalty that sees things like getting caught in a death trap your boss knew was there happen.) optimistic ⦾⦾⦾⦾⦾ pessimistic(Morally Complicated Teenager :D)

((A little doodle for @templeofvengeance inspired by some shinanigens from a little while back. Been wanting to draw this for a bit, actually, because I absolutely love the idea of Khonnie with an orange just hanging out of his eye socket.

use the generator to generate headcanons for your muse, and post 5-10 results that you agree with. :)

((...I definitely found more than ten that I like for this chaos gremlin. These are just the ones I happened to really agree with lmao)) 1. Riley Koening is Not Good With Social Cues yeah. YEAH. Now of course how you decide to take this is how you decide to take this but YEAH.

2. Riley Koening Cannot Drive legally? As in she has a license? Yeah, no, she can't. But.. let's just say she's..borrowed.. some cars to get away in the past.

3. It Would Not Take Much For Riley Koening To Turn Evil Look all I'm saying she's probably going to become SOMEONE's avatar and it probably won't be good. Evil Ark coming soon. 4. Riley Koening Has Been Canceled On Twitter if not for her literal career, she'd probably get canceled for how she talks about Rebecca, the general detached nature of that, and her tendency to describe her as another person that's still technically her. It would happen we can't kid ourselves here.

5. Riley Koening steals other people's clothes I like to imagine that the scarf she wears belonged to the elderly Egyptian lady who used to take care of her. Not technically stealing but.. she'll probably steal one of Jakes jackets too she's just like this.

6. Riley Koening Hates being alone OHBOY. yeah no she has issues. so many issues. she's somehow both overly clingy AND distant. please get this kid some therapy or at least a pet or something.

7. Riley Koening does not know what sleep is no she does not. Fairly confident she might be nocturnal.

8. Riley Koening is not allowed to drink energy drinks She bit someone once after trying one. never again.

9. Riley Koening stole a lolipop at checkout when they were 5 and they still feel guilty about it surprising given her job choice? I feel like Ry actually does feel a lot of guilt over what she does, but she does it with the knowledge that it's for survival.

10. Riley Koening will go feral. Watch out ..or is she already feral? yoinked from: @templeofvengeance
