#relationships.

azure string of fate.

sakamoto, jun. husband. oc ; multiple verses. @AzureWandering

a fateful meeting between two beings who share similar stories. somehow, some way, fate leads them to one another. whether their story ends in peace or tragedy is never set in stone-- while one is doomed to remember every life that passes them by, the other remains scattered across the worlds, cursed to never truly be whole. still, if there is one thing that never changes, it's that the string of fate always ties their hearts together, and love inevitably follows.

love like lightning.

raiden. husband. metal gear solid. @Zendxtsu

man or machine never mattered to her. a heart is a heart, and she knew that deep down his was one that ached to be loved. the road of their lives crossed multiple times, and they walked hand and hand down that path. such a road was never a steady one, and they had their share of woes. still, in the end, their love would be enough to repair any damages done, just as the sun always comes after every thunderstorm.

messiah or desire.

kuroda, rei. master. oc ; original verse. @VenomousSin

the best poisons are the ones that invade you slowly, keep you coming back for just another sip. it was his chaotic nature that drew her in, reminiscent of the youkai she had spent her life around, but it was the soul that was carefully protected by such potent toxins that got her hooked. she was never one for a safe, careful life anyways. things are much more fun by his side.

the wolf that fell.

niz. master. oc ; arknights. @SecurityRhodes

a maid is nothing without a master to serve. to the man that tries to live in solidarity, trapped within his own work for what he believes is the safety of those around him, she sees someone who needs someone by their side. in him, she sees home. she sees a monster, like he is so easy to claim to be, but if anything that only draws her to him even more. after all, when is a monster not a monster? oh, when you love it.

road less taken.

yuki, makoto. partner. persona. @mortuuslunae

wise men say 'only fools rush in'. it is to be expected of two former fool arcanas then to pursue an endeavor as childish as love. there's plenty of lost time to make up for, myriad past wounds in need of healing. it's a chance to start anew, to explore not only the connections one shares with another person, but to learn about oneself in turn. learning to love, even when the very idea of it frightens her, is definitely the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

#the nakamura clan.

the youkai worshippers.

The Nakamura clan dates back to the Edo period of Japan on record, though an approximate date for their founding is unknown. A family of demon worshippers, the clan has a long history of being feared and hated by anyone outside of their walls. They are secluded in the mountainside, almost a thing of rumors from how isolated they are.As they deal with the spiritual, they are a rather religious clan. They are a matriarchal clan that follows near ritualistic patterns, and though they have reaches past their walls, they much prefer their isolation.

hierarchy.

Priestess: Considered the head of the clan, the equivalent of a queen of a kingdom. Always a woman, she makes all major decisions, and is looked to during times of need.


Monks: The selected few who have dedicated their lives to upholding the clan and its traditions. It is their duty to teach the Priestess of her duties, and to maintain the balance between the main and branch houses.


Proxy: Any female who has the potential to birth a new generation’s priestess in their line. The longer a proxy’s line goes without birthing the priestess, the more priestess potential is present. This is to be sure that in the case of a missing priestess, a proxy is present and strong enough to be a replacement.

main house and branch house.

The determining factors between the two houses are what is referred to as priestess potential. By comparing physical traits, they are able to determine potential. For example, the more blue present in the eyes of a child, the more potential they have to either become a proxy (female) or to birth a future priestess line (male). This is what causes the men to gain blue streaks more frequently than the women-- the passing down of the trait that causes the streaks is believed to be related to the possibility of fathering the next priestess, or at least to continue the line.


Those of the main house are seen as superior compared to their counterparts. While unspoken, the branch house is expected to be subservient.


There is a thinly veiled knowledge of the houses’ positions-- while the two houses come together as one and live in peace, beneath the surface it is imperative that their positions be kept as they are, lest the peace of the clan be disturbed.
A handful of cases involving branch house members revolting against their positions have been recorded, though the whereabouts of the ex-communicated members is unknown. It is implied that the priestess during each of these instances had decided to curse them.

main house and branch house.

General: Though an unusual eye-color for people of this region, those of the Nakamura clan have been known to have varying degrees of blue in their eyes, from specks to the entire eye. Passed down through the generations, the general belief is that the blue is a symbol of the clan’s relationship with tamed demons.
Heterochromia is a common trait within the family, though only becomes apparent after hitting young adulthood.


Male: Males of the clan have been known to have less chances of having blue eyes than females. Now and again, some are born with blue streaks in their hair.


Female: Much more attuned to the spiritual realm, females of the clan are more likely to have blue eyes.


Exceptions: The ‘priestess’ of the generation always has blue eyes, and hair of a vibrant shade of blue. Should a priestess not be present for the generation (i.e. Leaving the clan by choice, born outside of the walls, etc.), any woman chosen to be the proxy will often have their hair dyed to symbolize their new status.

traits.

Bloodline: The bloodline of the Nakamura clan has been blessed and cursed by demons-- it is often seen to be taboo to outsiders to marry into such a bloodline. Should a member marry outside of the family, it is almost absolutely certain that the offspring will then carry the bloodline as well. Rumor also has it that demons tend to be drawn to the scent of their blood, but this is unconfirmed.


Spiritual Bias: To varying degrees, clan members are able to interact with the realm of spirits and demons. It is most common for them to only be able to hear them in passing, though some cases of being able to see them and hear them simultaneously have been noted. Only those with a high enough priestess potential are capable of directly interacting with and even crossing into the other realms, with the priestess being capable of controlling said spirits and demons.


Youkai Nature: While Nakamuras are human physically and spiritually, the nature of their relationship to youkai can cause many to be fooled. Their blood, while human physically, carries traces of youkai essence within it. This essence on its own does nothing to those that carry it, but it causes them to be particularly susceptible to the auras of youkai. This also means those of the Nakamura clan can form contracts with youkai with little detriment to themselves bodily (though none can do so with the same ease as a priestess, and it remains ill-advised for the untrained to attempt to make a contract without guidance or training).

priestesses.

Highly respected, the priestess of the clan is treated as royalty. They are believed to be the perfect conduit between the realm of humans and demons, and are susceptible to all things spiritual.

From the moment they are identified within the clan, they are raised and taught of their duties.
From there, priestesses take up the task of guiding the clan, healing illnesses and making major decisions. The priestess is the only being that can properly communicate with the spiritual world, and as such is often called upon when needed.

While it is preferred that the priestess stay within their walls, they are allowed to leave if they wish. They are more often than not followed (either by choice or without knowledge).

Upon their death, their bodies are cremated and laid upon the holy grounds in the courtyard as an offering to the spiritual world, hoping to guide her spirit in the right direction so she may bless them with their next priestess.

Because of the unique circumstance of the priestess, she is incapable of having children. While in most cases physically it is due to infertility, there are instances on record of a priestess becoming pregnant, only to end in a miscarriage aftet the sixth month.see also: AURA ABILITIES .

of auras.

youkai.

Youkai is a broad term, referring to any and all supernatural beings, anything with a status that differs from human. There are varying types and tiers of youkai, ranging from lesser to the very gods themselves. Whether or not some youkai are actually gods is up for debate.For generations, the priestesses of the Nakamura clan have been trained in the art of aura control. This ability, while primarily use in the art of youkai taming, is also useful when it comes to dealing with humans.While MaeKa is not formerly trained, her own abilities when it comes to her aura are not to be underestimated. In fact, the unrefined nature of her abilities can very well be seen as powerful in its own right.

sight.

While most of her bloodline have limited sight of the youkai realm, MaeKa, as a priestess, can hear and see into it fully. For as long as she can remember, she has lived seeing both the human realm and the youkai realm, having to learn what others could and couldn't see. MaeKa also is capable of seeing the auras of other beings, a manifestation of their energy and spiritual states. She is able to reach for other's auras and read them. The longer she concentrates on someone, the deeper into their aura she can read. Someone who is wary of her abilities can prevent her from reading in too deeply by focusing their energy on strong, even volatile feelings, as though will affect their aura at its surface and effectively create to dense of an energy for her to look through.

markings.

While all auras are available for her to see, she is unable to see her own, nor that of another priestess, or her twin brother. Instead, the bright markings across MaeKa's skin are physical manifestation of her aura. They shift and move organically, and how bright they are correlates with both her emotions and physical state. While they respond to these states, looking at them do not often give any real indicator of how she feels.If she pushes herself too hard, they glow brighter. Likewise while she sleeps, the glow lessens quite a bit. The only times her body lacks any markings would be after pushing herself past her physical limit, or in death.

touch.

As most youkai are confined to a plane seperate from the human one, MaeKa is able to delve into the realm of the youkai and allow the youkai to interact with her physically. Youkai are capable of reaching for her without her doing so, but it is less effective than if she willingly steps into their world.Delving into the youkai realm does not remove her from the human one, only has her existing in both planes of existence at the same time. She is capable of allowing other people this ability by holding onto them while entering the realm herself. Should she let go of them in this state, they are thrust back to the human realm. Unlike her, they are incapable of being in both realms at once-- if she is merely showing them their realm, they will only be able to see them, cannot interact with any youkai. In a sense, they will be phantoms of sorts. If they choose to have her pull them into they youkai realm, then they will be completely removed from the human realm, and thus be physically capable of interacting with youkai.Any wounds MaeKa receives when immersing herself in the youkai realm don't manifest on her physical body, but can often be seen through shifts in color of her aura lines. On the other hand, should the youkai grasp onto her body when she pulls herself out of their realm, they are then capable of wounding her physically.

blood.

The blood of the Nakamura clan has, for centuries, been considered 'cursed'. this does not affect them in any sort of physical way, not tied at all to any health conditions. On another level though, their blood shares traits with those of youkai. Should someone be familiar with the blood of supernatural creatures, they would identify Nakamura blood as a sort of lesser demon's.MaeKa's blood would be something closer to a greater demon due to her priestess status, having a much more saturated essence of demonic blood.Nakamura clan blood has an appeal to most youkai. Many consider it to be sweet, and in some cases even addictive. MaeKa has not yet given her blood to any youkai, so she wouldn't know how hers tastes, or even how it would affect them.

#the cobalt maiden.

arsenal.

armor though she's been known to wear varying armors and adapting to most situations, her armor of choice when taking official hunts for the guild consists of a cape created from a namielle she felled on one of her few solo hunts. she also favors light armors compared to heavy armor, due to an affinity for being airborne or moving quickly.weaponry while her weapon of choice is the glaive, maeka is proficient in long-ranged combat-- bowguns and bows are deadly in her hands. she also occasionally dabbles in the art of the dual blades. heavy weapons, she feels, don't suit her, but she will occasionally grab a greatsword or a hammer just for fun.aurasight having to adjust to life in the new world, it was necessary for maeka to relearn her own innate aura manipulation abilities. while not quite as aura-hungry, she does still need to borrow energy from her partner when she finds herself running low. but this usage of aura allows her to function at the same level as an average hunter despite her disabilities. she also wields a glaive without the usage of a kinsect, instead substituting it with an extension of her own aura.
