Myb myb I genuinely forgot its been sitting in my drafts for a while 😭.

Shifting to Arcane storytime

Alr so mind you I haven't shifted here in such a long time so this is a shift that happened around..... July?

Anyway I shifted through a lucid dream this time. I was having trouble staying lucid and I was literally fighting with my conscious on staying lucid because I kept being in and out. I finally had it and when I was lucid I called out for Singed ( he's my dad but my mom hid me from him so he has no idea about me) and he appears and I ask him if I will shift when I walk through the exit door( I was in a room) he nods yes and I walk through it and I go through this whole floating sensation where it feels like I'm being pulled so hard that I actually feel uncomfortable by it and then I feel my body shifting to a sitting position.

I open my eyes and I'm in silco's office and it looked like it was around 12 midnight? Since it felt like everyone was gone? Like jinx nor silco were around so I assumed that it was late? ( Idk it's hard to explain) Anyway I go downstairs and into The last Drop I didn't get a chance to try their drinks last time and I wasn't going to miss it this time. So I ordered Ale and the whiskey that silco likes drinking ( it tastes like shit y'all wouldn't recommend if you are thinking of trying one) and what's interesting is that I initially thought that the whiskey in my cr would be the same? Idk why... But they aren't the one from the last drop is more sour.

Anyways as I'm drinking the whiskey and hating it Sevika approaches me and I'm thinking oh what the hell did I do now, she sits next to me carrying a map and starts talking about how "silco wants those hextech rifles and that he doesn't want another one of my 'bomb displays'. And I'm like ahh something must have happened that wasn't in my script. As I'm about to answer her jinx pops out and literally jumps on us and idek what she was babbling about since I was starting to get a bit drunk and the next thing I hear is jinx saying "no wonder silco sends me to do the heavy lifting"

Sevika is hella annoyed and drags me into this saying that I need to keep Jinx in check, like... Are you serious whose keeping her in check me?? 😭 Like I just got here!! Sevika obviously doesn't give a shit and stands up leaving me with jinx, at this point I'm to wasted to entertain her so I just get up as fast as I could and went home.

The next day was hella weird I was called into silcos office to talk about the raid and that's when it hit me like oh okay I could actually die!? Ofc I can't actually die but I did forget for a sec that this was just a reality I shifted to it's freaking crazy. I'm zoning out and silco calls me out telling me to remain behind after the others have left. We go over the plan we were to ambush at dawn and make sure that there's no evidence left behind. The meeting ends and I remain behind and silco asks me if I've been drinking too much lately since even jinx couldn't wake me up, I obviously say yes and promise not to 'drink as much' ever again and he nods. There's a drop of silence before he says with that voice of his that I shouldn't make it a habit since in the lanes, people who sleep soundly usually don't get a chance to wake up at all' y'all that honestly scared the shit out of me I'm not even exaggerating😭

And now I'm left there like oh okay that has been completely noted I'll make sure to script that I wake up in bed next time. Anyway the raid happened I would've talked about it but it's like so long and I can't type all of it, ( I should really open a YouTube channel to make this easier to explain huh) anyways I got to see Caitlyn( she's pretty asff omg) but I didn't see Vi idek why. We did manage to get some of the rifles but jinx got shot in the arm and we had to retreat.

After that I didn't stay that long since I honestly felt restricted? Like I couldn't even explore piltover since I'm from Zaun and I actually didn't even think about that tbh I honestly thought that they'll let me through lol. Living in Zaun is as terrible as the show reveals like y'all it's crazy. I ended up shifting back by going to sleep with the intention of waking up here and I uh woke up!

context: it’s my cupcake glitter bomb !!

I'm over here like- I want to start fires with my pookie Sevika 😋 we partners in crime, all for the justice of Zaun n shit

(yes, i am back on my bullshit again. and yes, it's another one. or rather...the og one. granted, my backstory and plot for this perticular dr was always weak. forgive me.)

(this is so pretentious...i'm sorry for being cringy. it makes no sense.)

SETTING THE STAGE: meet ℑRIS

stars in her eyes, moonlight in her hair, her lips are poison. she is cosmos trying to disguise itself as a teenage girl.

chaotic mess personified. a zaunite siren and teenage dirtbag rolled into one.

iris is the current cause of jayce talis' headaches and his source of nightmares. or so he claims, the overdramatic man.

but...let's start from the beggining.

born on the late morning/near noon of year 970 an, iris entered the world with a scream. her little fists already curled, as if with anger at the unjust world, that she was born into. unlike one of her soulmates, she didn't arrive into this world surrounded by wealth and splendors but instead within the walls of a small shack, rickety and barely holding together. located down-low, in the very depths of the sump.

this place would not become her home. neither the woman who birthed her would be known to the girl by the name of mother.

instead the child was left without a mother, in the arms of her freshly orphaned half-brother, viktor. and later on raised by her biological father, viktor leaving for the academy and piltover.

since iris' early years, the girl was influenced by zaun's revolutionary circles. with her daddy and his friends at it's very centre, little iris got first row seats to hearing her father's and uncle silco's speeches. both, damn bastards in their own rights. to her, they were icons. she burned their words, their teachings into her mind. drinking it all up.

among many other things, it was this fact that attributed to her greatest ambition becoming the desire to contribute to the cause of zaun, as well as improving the conditions of her home.

iris was a restless wild child. between that and the healing factor of her magic, it was easy for her to miss the signs of her soulmate connection. the random scrapes and bruises would heal themselves too fast to be noted (don't worry guys, i figured that vi was one of my soulmates later on in my childhood. we aren't a couple yet, cuz idk. i am kinda scared to be in relationship. so, i want it to unfold organically.). her father has put that energy to use. he had her trained in combat and firearms. exchanged favors to have the brightest minds he knew tutor her.

and when she started showing the first signs of inheriting his arcane abilities, he began mentoring her.

iris was a piece of clay to be molded, a blade to be sharpened, his prodigy. and she would develop both her skills and knowledge even after erik was killed. a few days prior to the day of ash.

by the current age of sixteen, iris was competent fighter, artist and tinkerer. and a teenage menace as well.

she was living with benzo and ekko then, the three of them a makeshift family. arguing with the former constantly, angered at vander's and the middle-aged man's passivity towards topside's treatment of the undercity.

somewhere in the trajectory of her life, iris attempted to rob the apartment/workshop of jayce talis alongside her friends. the group was unaware of the dangers posed by the volatile hex crystals stored inside. the resulting explosion has injured both iris and vi, with the former being hit with a powerful blast of hextech magic energy. and unbeknowst to them, their other soulmate was injured too. she was just a wall away, an irony of fate. their soulmate connection meant they kept hurting each other. the three of them would have died, if not for the white-haired girl's self-healing powers. but even those were limited when faced with magic-caused wounds.

violet's siblings: mylo, claggor and powder had reluctantly fled the scene of crime. remaining uncaptured by enforcers.

the three teens eventually recovered, the incident shining light to them being soulmates.

through the series of chaotic shenanigans, both vi and iris narrowly escaped being sentenced to the stillwater's hold prison. and the latter, somehow even managed to become councillor heimerdinger's apprentice. she has been (funnily enough) assigned to viktor and jayce as a student/apprentice thing, to talis' utter horror.

(here is basically where i lose any idea what to script lol. sorry for this not making any sense.)

when it comes to fighting and powers, i have smoke-related powers and self-healing/regenerative powers. for the sake of combat, i also added spider-sense essentially, super speed and strength, as well as flexibilty, agility, etc.

i'm also not gonna lie, i am jinx's rip-off in my dr. i use explosives, guns and blades in combat. along with utilizing my smoke powers to confuse my enemies.

also, as you had guessed from the backstory...my dr is set in act 1 of season 1 more or less.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH SOULMATES?

basically, soulmates are a thing in my arcane dr. the thing is...they're very, very rare occurance in runeterra. to the point of becoming a thing of myths/legends. i haven't really specified how the bond works in my dr, but i just headcanon that it manifests different depending on particular connection.

for mine, i take inspo/basically copy the idea from @/somewillwin's caitvi soulmates au. we share pain and injuries.

...

and...i guess that's all i have for now.
