▍ ❝   RULE ZERO.
Not so much as a rule as an introduction. Hi, I'm Mads! I am 30+ years old and use she/her. I'm pretty chill and will keep my rules basic. This blog is for my OCs, Faye & Melisandre.
Faye is my primary OC and likely to be the one I will use if a meme is sent in without specifying, as she's fandomless. Mel is my secondary, semi-fandomless muse whose main verses are in Clair Obscur. She does have other verses I will fit her into though.
Clair Obscur spoilers will likely not be tagged; however, I will not post OOC content about it on this blog. Activity may be a bit sporadic, but mostly medium to low.▍ ❝   RULE ONE.
Basic RP etiquette, please. Don't be a jerk.▍ ❝   RULE TWO.
Because I am now over 30, I prefer my partners to be 21+ but in all honesty, if you're over 18 I won't complain. If I cannot easily find your age I may not follow.▍ ❝   RULE THREE.
This blog will be selective and mostly mutuals only for ease. (I may be willing to try interacting outside mutuals to see if we're compatible) If I follow you then I want to interact! If you no longer wish to be mutuals, please hard or soft block me! I will respect your choice and not ask questions! Blog will likely run on a queue for the most part.▍ ❝   RULE FOUR.
When it comes to starting interactions, I am happy to plot or wing it! If you want to skip first introductions, that's cool, but if you'd like something more than acquaintances, I'd like to ask for some OOC discussion first. This isn't a chronologically locked blog, so we can jump around in their timeline. Multiple threads are welcomed!

▍ ❝   RULE FIVE.
As far as shipping goes, I do ship with chemistry! I adore romantic ships, but I prefer if they build naturally unless we're good friends OOC. I'm multi-ship and will place any/each one in their own universe. If smut happens, it'll be put it under a read more and tag it as "USFT CW". I'm also happy to do fade-to-black for anyone who doesn't care to write it. Of course, I also really love exploring different kinds of dynamics! Faye is naturally very flirty, even if she's not interested in a more intimate relation, so if it's too much, please let me know!▍ ❝   RULE SIX.
I enjoy darker themes but will avoid anything too taboo or the typical RP no-nos. If you're uncertain, feel free to ask. No judgment from me.▍ ❝   RULE SEVEN.
I don't have any triggers but try and tag the majority as "___ CW". If you need something tagged, please let me know.▍ ❝   RULE EIGHT.
Leave the drama IC. I'm old and tired and just want to have fun. If I see excessive callouts/vague posting I will block.▍ ❝   RULE NINE.
All art on this blog is mine unless otherwise specified. Sometimes I offer requests but please don't be mad if I don't get to yours. The art muse is fickle.Rules are subject to change.

❝ Personality:To put it simply, she's a wild card. A few simple terms to describe her would be: tenacious, impulsive, optimistic, and a bit of a smartass. She makes her presence known when she wants to and isn't afraid to shoot her mouth off or say what everyone else may be thinking, even if it causes some discomfort. If she has to be the bad guy to keep the job moving forward, then so be it. However, she isn't always abrasive and can have tact when the time calls for it.For those who can tolerate her sometimes overconfident personality and reckless behavior, they'll be rewarded with a loyal companion. Despite being friendly and able to adapt to those around her she considers few to be her true friends. And while she can let most insults roll off her back she can become extremely volatile and vindictive if she believes she or a friend has truly been wronged.❝ BIO:cw: deathFaye's father was the leader of an underground crime syndicate who only took her mother as a wife to gain her family's assets. He cared little for either, only seeing Faye as a possible piece she could use for gain at a later day. Her mother, while not openly affectionate, did care deeply for her daughter and did what she could to make her life comfortable. Growing up, she was fully aware of her family's criminal life, but was raised as many nobles were, forced to learn all the etiquette and "games" to advance oneself in high society. For the most part, she was also treated like a porcelain doll, kept away from anything that may "damage" her and make her less desirable to suitors as she came of age.
Faye, of course, resisted as much as she could, wanting to be free to do what she wanted and simply live. Her father found creative ways to punish her, mostly emotionally and psychologically, to keep her in line. It was around the age of eighteen that her father began working his way into politics to gain more power and access to new avenues for his growing empire. Her father began setting up suitors for an arranged marriage to Faye with high-ranking politicians or their sons. Thanks to Faye's mother, most started to fall through for one reason or another.
During this time, her mother attempted to find ways for them to escape, but each one failed. This continued until Faye was twenty-one when her mother grew ill and eventually passed. With no other reason to try and play the part, Faye finally managed to escape her father's father's clutches and ran as far as she could. There was nothing to hold her back now as she quickly began indulging in every possible vice and activity she had been prevented from doing while growing up. She worked on "damaging" her body over the next two years, knowing eventually her father would find her, but at least she could make herself of no use to him and live a life she wanted.❝ Extras:> Necklace belonged to her mother and is the only possession she has that she will never part with
> The serpent/sunflower tattoo on her thigh
> Sort of easy to manipulate if something is presented as a challenge/dare

❝ Personality:At first glance, Mel is typically always optimistic, friendly, and supportive. She loves a good challenge, especially if it helps her become stronger. Mel does her best to be smart with how she approaches things, weighing the options when given the option. However, there are times she acts before she thinks and rolls with the punches. With how often she smiles and tends to others, it may seem like she doesn't have her low moments, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Her heart is riddled with lost/grief, however, she understands the pain and control it can have and often sets her own pain to the side so that she can keep others from being consumed by it.❝ BIO:cw: death & murderLife was about as picture-perfect as it could be during Mel's childhood. She had two loving parents who loved the arts and always supported their children's interests. Reneé, seven years younger than Mel, was like a shadow, always following her around and imitating her. While most siblings would find this annoying, Mel loved her sister dearly and always tried to find ways to include her. She aspired to be a painter like her parents but also developed a love for ballet which both supported.It wasn't until Mel was fifteen that her perfect life was flipped upside down. Reneé grew incredibly ill and eventually passed away, devastating the entire family. Things only grew worse when a few months later the family was supposed to leave for a showing of her father's work. However, Mel, still grieving, decided not to attend at the last minute. Her mother, worried, stayed home with her. Later that night, a small group of men broke into the home, looking to steal their valuables, and discovered the house wasn't empty as expected.Mel, cornered in one of the first floor rooms, jumped out the window and took off to find help. By the time she returned, the robbers had left and her mother was hanging on by a thread. She later passed in the hospital. Her father was devasted and overcome with his grief and guilt fell into a deep depression, and wasted away, leaving Mel alone. Without any other immediate family, she was taken in by her friend's family until she was around 19. Mel still struggled with her grief and guilt through the following years but learned how to better cope with it and strove to be what her parents would have wanted her to be.❝ Extras:> Weapon(s) of choice are chakrams
> If she has "abilities" they're centered around ice manipulation
> Favorite meal is poulet en croûte (basically chicken pot pie)
> Favorite dessert is crème brûlée
> Nothing is wrong with her left eye, she just thinks she looks cool/edgy with her bangs like that
> Scars are from when she jumped out the window
> Doesn't mind drinking alcohol to the point of being tipsy but doesn't enjoy being drunk as it's harder for her to remain upbeat
> Enjoys restoring paintings
> Family wasn't SUPER wealthy but she's pretty well off

Faye

▍ ❝   Arcane (LoL)Born into a criminal empire, Faye was seen by her father as little more than a piece on his board to use to further his own ambitions. She was set up several times for an arranged marriage, but thanks to her mom, she was able to avoid most. However, when she turned twenty-one, her mother passed away from illness. She was twenty-two when she finally found a chance to escape. Faye fled as far as she could, ending up in Zaun, where she quickly partook in every vice she had been denied while living as a porcelain doll under her father's thumb. While aware her father's reach will likely find her, she's living life as much as she can.▍ ❝   Baldur's Gate 3Drawn RefShe didn't start off as a tiefling barbarian. Born to a criminal father, she was treated like a porcelain doll to groom her to be used to further his political career. It was only thanks to her mother's intervention that she was able to avoid most of the arranged marriages. However, when her mother became ill and eventually passed, she could only do one thing. Escape. Faye ran as far as she could, eventually making her way to the Storm Coast, where she was abducted by Mind Flayers and invested with a tadpole.Minor changes made for other DND based threads▍ ❝   Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 CW: MAJOR SPOILERSDrawn RefExpedition 56 (default)Born on the Continent, Faye never visited Lumière nor knew of the Gommage. Her mother, wanting her to live a somewhat normal life as long as possible, kept it from her until Monolith Year 40. Faye was sixteen when she learned everything about the Paintress, the Gommage, and the expeditions. That same day, she watched as the Gommage took her mother, leaving her with nothing but petals to remember her.
Faye remained with the Gestrals for several more years, continuing to integrate herself into their society. Eventually, she met other expeditioners who stumbled upon the village and taught her more about Pictos, Lumina, and previous expeditions. While she never joined any of them for long, she did eventually start striking out on her own, learning to fight Nevrons. She always returned to the village, grading with the Gestrals and checking in.Expedition 33Having lost both her parents when she was sixteen, Faye found herself incredibly restless in Lumière. The idea of settling down, perhaps having children, and awaiting an imminent death could not have been more despairing. She signed up when she was twenty-three, ignoring any and all protests, preferring to go down fighting rather than prolonging the inevitable.
Setting out on the ship, she felt an indescribable sense of relief and purpose. Even after the events on the Dark Shore, barely managing to escape the carnage, she felt hopeful. Whatever shackles had been latched to her were gone and she planned to make the best of her time on the expedition, even if it resulted in her death.▍ ❝   Dragon AgeDespite being an elf, her father had grand plans on how to make a name for himself even among nobles. Faye grew up with little free will, constantly having to abide by his every rule. That is, until her mother passed away. She was only in her early twenties when she escaped, traveling all over Thedas and learning both the joys and horrors of the world and loving every minute of it. While never a hero, she is always eager to tag along with anyone willing to offer an adventure. The more dangerous, the more enticing it is.
*Age may be verse dependent (If she was part of the inquisition, she'll be in her early 20s and by veilguard, she'll be in her early 30s. Companion quest will be different)▍ ❝  ModernFaye's father was the leader of a crime ring, introducing her to the criminal underworld at a young age. It wasn't until the death of her mother she learned her father had arranged a marriage to another criminal. Not wanting to be controlled any longer, especially by a stranger, Faye ran away, using her knowledge of the underworld to get as far away as possible. Consistently on the move, Faye went wherever the wind took her, taking odd jobs and experiencing as much of the world as she could.▍ ❝  Star Wars
Pending...▍ ❝  SupernaturalTired of the control her father always had over her, Faye struck out on her own. She used the hunting abilities her father had taught her from a young age to keep her afloat. It was during this time on her own that she learned not all supernatural creatures were "bad". She still hunted those that fed on humans, but did not strike against any that showed no malicious intent.▍ ❝  WerewolfBorn a werewolf, Faye understood how careful they had to be to avoid being hunted by their enemies. However, she quickly grew tired of being treated more like a pet than a member of the pack by her father. It was when she learned she had been arranged to marry another pack's leader that she finally had had enough of every part of her life being controlled. First chance she got, she took off, running as far as she could and living life as wildly and freely as possible, knowing eventually her father would hunt her down.▍ ❝  Valorant

Mel

▍ ❝   Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 CW: MAJOR SPOILERSDrawn RefExpedition 39Hoping for a new start in life, and possibly a chance to save Lumière, Mel eagerly set out with Expedition 39 at the age of 21. She made it as far as the mountains before a Stalact they were fighting caused an avalanche. Mel was one of the few who was unable to get out of the way in time and was ultimately left before. Thankfully, a Grandis, who had witnessed the fight, was able to dig her out.
Her leg was broken making it impossible for her to try and rejoin her expedition. She was taken by the Grandis to a Gestral Searcher near the foot of the mountain who cared for her until she was fully healed. They formed a close bond and when she was able to walk without severe pain they went in search of her Expedition and learned their fate.
Mel was prepared to continue the mission and hoped she could do something that would help the next, but was talked out of it by the Gestral. Instead, he convinced her to work with him to search for missing Gestrals as he believed her going alone would be a waste to perish within a few months when she had the potential to help the Gestrals the next few years. And possibly the next expedition if they crossed paths with her.Expedition 0A family friend of the Dessendres, Mel was more than happy to join the search and rescue expedition. Things took a major turn when they reached the barrier and learned the truth. Mel remained loyal to the family, considering the gift she'd been given, but slowly started questioning if it was the correct thing. Mel left Lumiére a second time and worked with the Gestrals to search for their missing companions.
She did her best to avoid the following expeditions, not wanting to answer any questions they may have had. Eventually, she did begin assisting them by trying to leave subtle hints to safe passages, taking out a Nevron here and there, and ensuring any journals they left on the continent could be uncovered. These acts were her downfall as Renoir learned what she had been doing and killed her. (Or maybe she survived and just learned to avoid Renoir. Depends on the thread).Post Game & Exp 0 continuation
This one may require more plotting as I have many thoughts/concepts so I will withhold it unless asked.▍ ❝   Arcane (LoL)Melisandre was born in Piltover and unfortunately lost her family in a series of tragic events. While not from a noble family, they had been well off, allowing her to still live somewhat comfortably and modestly after coming of age. Wanting to prevent anyone else from going through the grief and loss she did, Mel joined the Piltover police department. However, she has a bit of a dirty secret.
On occasion, whenever she's not working she'll take on a disguise and go down to Zaun to fight in one of their fighting rings. It's exhilarating for her and allows her to blow off some steam. It's also opened up her eyes to the plights of the Zaunites and see they're not as bad as most Piltovans believe them to be.▍ ❝   Baldur's Gate 3Melisandre is a fighter who once lived in Baldur's Gate with her loving family. Tragedy struck and within a year she lost her little sister and both parents. She lived with a family friend for a few years before she came of age and inherited her family's small fortune. While she did live a comfortable/modest life, she felt restless the more crime she witnessed within the city.
Eventually, she left, traveling the land and assisting those she could. While hunting down a man responsible for killing a woman's husband over a few coins. During this time, she was taken aboard the Nautiloid and infested with a tadpole.▍ ❝   Dragon AgeBorn to loving mother and father life couldn't be more perfect growing up, even with the addition of a little sister. Misfortune didn't fall on their family until her younger sister passed from illness, followed by her parents within the year. Left alone at fifteen, Mel went and lived with a family friend before striking out on her own and traveling across Thedas, where she eventually met a Tal-Vashoth warrior who took her under his wing and taught her everything he knew about fighting. The pair continued traveling from Ferelden to Tevinter, only temporarily parting ways under dire circumstances.▍ ❝   FaeThe sudden death of her sister was only the beginning of her misfortune. Her mother and father soon followed her to the grave, leaving Mel to try and find her way in life without them. Thankfully, a family friend took her in, allowing her to remain with them until she reached adulthood. It was with them she learned more about how to survive the human world and properly glamor herself.▍ ❝  Modern

The sudden and quick loss of her family in her teens nearly turned her into an icy queen to match her powers, but she proved to be stronger than her pain. She strove to be better and try and help others as much as possible. Working on her own, she began investigating Kingdom and on one fateful day, she crossed paths with Sova.
Both mistook the other as an agent of Kingdom and quickly engaged in battle. It was only after the real Kingdom agents began attacking the pair they realized they were actually on the same side. They survived the encounter after working together and Melisandre quickly became a target of Kingdom after. To her surprise, Sova put in a word with Val and she began working alongside them, taking the alias Hailstone.Verse set up with Dimensionalspades' Sova▍ ❝   Pending
