#i finally did it...

between the crackles and pops of lights exploding into color and the clicking of the shutter of akira's camera, a comfortable silence has settled upon the pier.

it is not always easy to convince goro to leave their shared space, but it always feels so special when he does. it was a small show, firework - makers showing off their latest displays before the summer truly sets in, but as most of the small crowd departs, someone remains to let off the leftovers.

the way the colorful display illuminates the river serves as the perfect backdrop for the few snapshots of goro they've been able to steal, while he still holds that sparkler that akira had initially claimed to have purchased for themself.

" you look beautiful like this, " they breathe, as the final flares rain down over the water, bringing the display to a close — because, they know there's a chance that goro will see these photographs later, and his skin will crawl merely because he's in them. akira won't apologize for taking them, though ; cherishes this proof of their existence.

they don't want to ever take such a thing for granted again.

akira lowers the camera to dangle carefully around their neck as a fuller silence settles around them, the kind of calm that lingers after a passing rainshower. a gentle breeze raises goosebumps, but akira only acknowledges the cold with a brief rub of their arms. darkness begins to fall upon them again, only kept at bay by the fading light of the sparkler and the streetlight near the entrance of the lot. a tender hand is extended toward goro in offering.

This stuff was starting to get kind of easy!

Having been here for over a year, Deuce had long ago decided that he should really be keeping on top of his studies, so he didn’t fall behind when he returned home. Of course...there weren’t really a lot of history or magical instruction classes that paralleled what he learned back at Night Raven, so he could only keep on top of a few subjects.

Math, was the primary one. And...hey, he wasn’t doing all that bad! Seventy-eight percent on his last test was a huge improvement from how he’d been doing before, and it was technically passing! Given he had finally moved up a little in the level of math he was actually doing, this was great progress.

It had been his plan to just go home, after getting his test back from the one class he had today at the University, maybe cook himself a late-lunch and work on some homework for his other classes but...

A familiar uniform quickly sent him running towards the building he saw the person wearing it duck into, not even processing where he was before calling out their name.

“Prefect Rosehearts...! When did you get h...”

This was a tiny little thing in the corner of my sketchbook that I decided to ink. (And I found out that inking tiny things with any sort of neatness is INFURIATING BEYOND WORDS but nvm.....)

Character survey as tagged for from Ameme! 

BASICS:

FULL NAME: Mu

NICKNAME: Mumu

AGE:  30+ at this point probably

BIRTHDAY: Whatever March 27 would be >:D

ETHNIC GROUP: Duskwight

NATIONALITY: ??? No one knows.

LANGUAGE/S: Common

SEXUAL ORIENTATION : Yes.

ROMANTIC ORIENTATION : Does not matter to him.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single.

HOME TOWN / AREA: Does not remember.

CURRENT HOME:  Ishgard.

PROFESSION: Canonical it’s Paladin and White mage. (Dragoon proficiency for my own convenience.)

Personality at a Glance (Mu)

·         Does not like to talk. (Prefers letting whoever comes with him to do the talking for him.)

·         No particularly likes and dislikes. Just bright lights and loud noises annoy him—it’s more on a physically level, however.

-          He also isn’t stupid, but he also isn’t particularly ‘book smart’. Mu is simpler, and often takes a while to read the atmosphere around him.

 PHYSICAL:

HAIR:    Long, lilac-ish hair that is lighter than his skin. Silver highlights are naturally occurring.

EYES:   Eyes are a silvery gold, much like white-gold.

FACE: I don’t understand this one? His facial features are sharp I guess. High cheekbones like elves--

LIPS: Uuuh… Thinner? 

COMPLEXION: his skin tone is a dark-ish lavender and grey.

BLEMISHES: His skin is blissfully clear.

SCARS: He doesn’t have any particular scars of note—but he is littered with smaller ones; from sword blows, explosions and shrapnel, or the recoil of his armor under pressure into his skin.

TATTOOS: None.

HEIGHT: Inching up to 8ft ” (when I first made him it was with Tolkien elves in mind, the tallest elf in recorded history being 9” tall. That is to say, I haven’t really decided on his height to the fullest.)

WEIGHT: Probably over 250lbs + on account of his height.

BUILD: Very well muscled. Well fit. 

FEATURES: Little nubbin Padjal-like horns are growing from his head. They are still pretty round and coated with velvet. (They’ve grown from the tempering of the elements and his absurd amount of usage of white magic over time.) Nails grow like claws, another side effect of the white magic over-usage. Must be pre-cut right before battles if wearing gauntlets lest they grow back again within a day or two...

ALLERGIES:  None.

USUAL HAIR STYLE:  Down until someone puts his hair up for him-then it’s a bun.

USUAL FACE LOOK :  His default expression is usually a blank one.

USUAL CLOTHING:  90% of the time it’s armor. No sense of fashion. If he’s wearing actual clothes, someone picked them out for him and then forced him to wear it.

PSYCHOLOGY:

FEAR/S: This would have been a solid ‘none’, but over time it’s become a ‘being too late.’

ASPIRATION/S:  Whatever the Scions want him to do.

POSITIVE TRAITS: Unquestioning loyalty. His sheer strength. Probably.

NEGATIVE TRAITS: Unquestioning loyalty. 

TEMPERAMENT:  Fairly stoic, reserved and serious about what he does.

SOUL TYPE/S:  Paladin, and White mage.

ANIMALS: He does not care.

VICE HABIT/S: Wandering. (??? Can that count? When there is nothing left to do, he will wandering from one end of the world to the other until someone needs to use him.)

FAITH: Not really.

GHOSTS?: They exist.

AFTERLIFE?: Not concerned with it.

MUN QUESTIONS:

Q1 : If you could write your character your way in their own movie,  what would it be called,  what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?      

A1 :  I dunno like “The Cost of Apathy” And it would probably apocalyptic, and Mu would only save the world because someone who knows how to command told him to.

Q2 :  What would their soundtrack/score sound like?          

A2 :  Probably like a lot of… “Predator” by crispy or something. Lots of wild sounds and dubsteppy to explosions and blood flying--

Q3 :  Why did you start writing this character?          

A3 : Because it’s just me over-compensating w/ a few extra/different traits.

Q4 :   What first attracted you to this character?        

A4 :  He’s really hot. Kinda my top. But Also a cross between my favorite anime character from Saint Seiya and Tolkien-esque elves which are also my thing.

Q5 :  Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.

A5 :  No I like him just the way he is. Wait… I wish… I hate that he doesn’t look right in normal civilian clothes… Does that count? Probably because he’s only ever worn armor...

Q6 :  What do you have in common with your muse?          

A6 :  We were born to follow, and prefer it because leading is troublesome (I personally hate troublesome things), but we can and will lead if necessary. 

Q7 :   How does your muse feel about  you?          

A7 :  He would be indifferent,.

Q8 :  What characters does your muse have interesting interactions with ?

A8 :  WEll--any interaction with him will likely start out awkward and interesting… gonna be a lot of staring while he thinks. 

Q9 :  What gives you inspiration to write your muse ?        

A9 : haha

Q10 : How long did this take you to complete ? 

A10 : I’m going to estimate about half a year.
