Here we are at PHASE THREE: ANOTHER CONCEPT CONTEST!
Below you will find 5 lieutenants looking for a home! This is no ordinary concept contest however, as all of these Negaverse agents come with a bit of backstory for their future player to expand on!
You see friends, each of these lieutenants were hand picked by General Labyrinthite (Chase Black), General Marcasite (Jade Argent) and Corrupted Eternal Sailor Dia (Priscilla Stratford, played by Ghouliboo) to assist them with Agent Industries™ restructure along with broadening the Negaverse's influence and reach when it comes to the Media™!
If working in the Infiltration Branch and focusing on the civilian side of the Negaverse and related activities is something that interests you, then I encourage you to read on!

ANTHEMUSA: DISCLAIMER
Before we get down to the rules & request, here's some important information to consider before you truly contemplate entering!
There are agents intended to be in the infiltration division of the negaverse. They will be working closely with General Marcasite, General Labyrinthite (both played by me) and Corrupt Eternal Sailor Dia (played by Ghouliboo)
As these are giveaway spawning from a personal plot of mine they are expected to remain "attached" to my characters and while I cannot force anyone to do anything with a character I'm giving away, I am treating this like an agreement that you will at least try to uphold a relationship with me. I am very flexible and am willing to work with people, but if you do not think that you are capable of working & rping with me, please do not enter.
The characters done by the talented Guine were bribes and do not come with a cool down, there is one who was done by Grymoire and was purchased with crown tokens and comes with the 3-month-cooldown. Please keep that in mind when entering for her.
This is not a shop-run event and is a personal give away which means that while I might consult others when it comes to judging I will be the final determining factor when it comes to choosing a winner.
And a shout out to felyn for working with me on this plot and being a large reason why any of this can happen!

ANTHEMUSA: RULES & REQUESTS
Do not discourage others from participating. You must be participating in this phase of the event, have participated in phase one (the festival), or phase two (sparks' concept contest, assuming you did not win her). This means you need to have posted at least 400 words in phase one or phase three to be eligible. You may enter for every premade you are eligible for but may only win one total character from anthemusa: the three part event, this includes the raffle character. Fill out the form completely before posting, that includes the character profile & prompt response. Do not enter/post an incomplete entry. Doing so will disqualify you from the contest. This means no 'reserving' posts for entry. Some of them have specific rules or limitations when entering, please be aware of that and if you do not follow the character specific rule for your entry you will be disqualified. All characters are expected to work at Argent Industries at least in the beginning while it is preferred that they remain employed by the media corporation. Please don't enter with the intention of rehoming them at a later date. While I cannot control what you do with her once you win them, I do request that if you have issues playing them that you try and work with me first or that they makes their way back to me. If I feel like there is not an adequate entry or enough entries to properly judge a good home, I reserve the right to chose no winner and home the character at later date. If you have any questions please reach out to me and I will do my best to answer concisely! Rules are subject to update per my discretion.

It's expected that the profile you enter/win with is the profile you're using when posting for approval
Character Form:
[size=14][b]I'M ENTERING FOR PROTRACTOR[/b][/size] [b]Proof of Participation:[/b] (please provide proof of participation in any stage of Anthemusa) [b]Number of Characters:[/b] (please divide powered from civilian only) [b]Name:[/b]
[b]Nickname:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b] (Ideally 19-26)
[b]Birthday:[/b]
[b]Sign:[/b]
[b]Gemstone:[/b] Follows your zodiac sign.
[b]Blood Type:[/b]
[b]Fav. Food:[/b]
[b]Hated Food:[/b]
[b]School:[/b] Knightside Elementary (Co-Ed, Elementary and Middle School Students) Meadowview High School (Co-Ed), Crystal Academy (Females Only, rich girls or scholarships), Hillworth Grammar School (Males only, dispriviledged backgrounds or bad behavior), St. Magdalena's Seminary (Females only, dispriviledged backgrounds or bad behavior), Azure Valley Academy (Males only, rich boys or scholarships), Romano's Constitutional Haven (Co-Ed, Highschool) Sovereign Heights Prep School (Ages 18-22 only), Horizon Institute for Technology and Science (Grades 7-12, some college), Destiny City University (College, accepts all ages)
[In lieu of school, she is welcome to have taken up a job within Renegade Media which offers a variety of positions]
[b]Hobbies:[/b] What does your character do outside of schoo/workl during their civilian life? Note that this is an activity that they do on a regular basis, and reflects their personality. How often do they do this activity? Why? Note that if it's a once-in-a-blue-moon activity, then it's most likely not a hobby. List at least two, just try not to go overboard.
[i]e.g. [/i]
[i]Reading[/i] - Matt McMat loves to read joke books in order to come off as a funny guy. He doesn't like to read mystery, romance, or horror books because of the serious tone they take, and thinks they're most useful for making paper airplanes out of. In fact, this is why Matt McMat can't visit the Destiny City Library unattended.
[b]Virtues:[/b] These are positive aspects about your character's personality that affects them on a daily basis. Specifically, these are non-physical traits (such as 'generous', 'kind' and 'outgoing') that other people will look up to your character for having. All profiles have a minimum of two virtues (and a maximum of four).
[i]e.g. [/i]
[i]Outgoing[/i] -- Matt McMatt is an outgoing guy. He's always the life of the party, and tends to love organizing parties for no reason but having parties. He's an effervescent party animal. When it comes to answering a question, Matt McMatt is usually the first to offer an answer even if it isn't correct of what someone is looking for.
[b]Flaws:[/b] Second verse, same as the first. Things that are not flaws: 'clumsy', 'hates seeing people hurt their friends', phobias, mental illnesses, diseases, being 'too nice' (unless they are SO NICE that it is an ACTUAL FLAW), etc. Like the virtues, these are non-physical traits about your character that affects them daily, however these are attributes about your character that give other people reason to look DOWN on your character. Your profile must have a minimum of two flaws, and a maximum of four.
[i]e.g. [/i]
[i]Selfish[/i] -- Matt McMatt can be really self-centered. He thinks about himself long before any of his friends, and whether or not things impact on him. If he finds something boring or not worth his time, he rarely goes through with it to help out a pal. He can be a bit of a fair-weather friend, because he first and foremost thinks about himself.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
[i]Hair and eye colors cannot change from civilian to powered form, nor can tattoos or piercings. If your character has a tattoo as a civilian it will appear on the powered art, though will have a glamour to prevent people who have seen both from identifying civilian identities. Hairstyles can change between civilian and powered form; only Corrupted Senshi have vastly different hair between civilian and powered forms (their hair grows extensively in length!) Unnatural hair and eye color are perfectly fine, and there is no need to say they use dye or contacts - your character is free to have been born with blue hair if you want. Genetic heterochromia is not allowed, sorry![/i]
[b]Eyes:[/b] Color, shape.
[b]Hair:[/b] Color, style, accessories. Some artists prefer references, others prefer being given style words - you might want to keep this in mind
[b]Face:[/b] Shape, features -- tell us if your character has a round or oval or heart-shaped face, freckles or not, big ears or not.
[b]Clothes:[/b] If you are getting student art, your character will be drawn in the school uniform. If you are getting a civilian outfit, this will discuss the general style of your character! The artist reserves the right to not draw complicated outfits, and this will generally be your work clothes if you are older.
[b]Negaverse Alias:[/b] Lieutenant (Mineral Name) ; (remember to provide a link to your mineral!)
[b]Challenge:[/b] Goes on the cert. Default is "The Darkness will Prevail!"
[b]Uniform:[/b] Please see art
[b]Weapon[/b] Your weapon will level up over three stages. Tell us what type of weapon you'd like, and we'll go from there. Keep in mind that weapons are supposed to start out as toys or gag weapons and should not do much damage in their first stage. They can grow more lethal once your agent reaches Captain stage—and they should definitely be lethal by General stage! Weapons should be predominantly physical and [i]may[/i] have some magical elements. [i]Lieutenant Weapon:[/i] Depending on the premade, this is already chosen for you! [i]Captain Weapon:[/i] At this stage the weapon should be able to do damage but it should not be immensely powerful or lethal. It [i]may[i] have some magical properties, but this will come at a cost to physical strength. [i]General Weapon:[/i] Your weapon is powerful and capable of doing a lot of damage! It is physically intimidating and may also have a slight magical boost!
Prompts:
Quote:
prompt one: In 750 words or less, write a solo about what made the character stand out among all the other applicants. Consider this one the "backstory" prompt. Have it explain the character motivation for applying and ending with them arriving for the job interview.
prompt two: In 750 words or less, write a solo that is a "day in the life" for the character that showcases the character at work and their area of specialty within the company.
prompt three: In 750 words or less, write a solo in which the character receives the job offer. Show their reaction to being inducted into the Negaverse along with the job offer. I.E this is this what comes after corruption as the "reflection" prompt.
prompt four: In 750 words or less, write a solo in which you make me feel something about this character. Consider this prompt if nothing about the other three really speaks to you. It can be a future plan sort of thing, a backstory that doesn't quite fit the 'backstory' prompt, or something else!

ANTHEMUSA: FREE-FOR-ALL (WITH A CATCH)
She was purchased via crown tokens that means upon winning her you will be placed on a three-month cool down timer. I will be referencing the cool down thread and crown token thread to make sure that you are eligible. Please keep this in mind when entering for her because it will prevent you from acquiring any new powered for that time following her winner's announcement. Her art was done by Grymorie and she is the only one of the premades that comes with civilian art.

[In lieu of school, she is welcome to have taken up a job within Renegade Media which offers a variety of positions]
[b]Hobbies:[/b] What does your character do outside of schoo/workl during their civilian life? Note that this is an activity that they do on a regular basis, and reflects their personality. How often do they do this activity? Why? Note that if it's a once-in-a-blue-moon activity, then it's most likely not a hobby. List at least two, just try not to go overboard.
[i]e.g. [/i]
[i]Reading[/i] - Matt McMat loves to read joke books in order to come off as a funny guy. He doesn't like to read mystery, romance, or horror books because of the serious tone they take, and thinks they're most useful for making paper airplanes out of. In fact, this is why Matt McMat can't visit the Destiny City Library unattended.
[b]Virtues:[/b] These are positive aspects about your character's personality that affects them on a daily basis. Specifically, these are non-physical traits (such as 'generous', 'kind' and 'outgoing') that other people will look up to your character for having. All profiles have a minimum of two virtues (and a maximum of four).
[i]e.g. [/i]
[i]Outgoing[/i] -- Matt McMatt is an outgoing guy. He's always the life of the party, and tends to love organizing parties for no reason but having parties. He's an effervescent party animal. When it comes to answering a question, Matt McMatt is usually the first to offer an answer even if it isn't correct of what someone is looking for.
[b]Flaws:[/b] Second verse, same as the first. Things that are not flaws: 'clumsy', 'hates seeing people hurt their friends', phobias, mental illnesses, diseases, being 'too nice' (unless they are SO NICE that it is an ACTUAL FLAW), etc. Like the virtues, these are non-physical traits about your character that affects them daily, however these are attributes about your character that give other people reason to look DOWN on your character. Your profile must have a minimum of two flaws, and a maximum of four.
[i]e.g. [/i]
[i]Selfish[/i] -- Matt McMatt can be really self-centered. He thinks about himself long before any of his friends, and whether or not things impact on him. If he finds something boring or not worth his time, he rarely goes through with it to help out a pal. He can be a bit of a fair-weather friend, because he first and foremost thinks about himself.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
[i]Hair and eye colors cannot change from civilian to powered form, nor can tattoos or piercings. If your character has a tattoo as a civilian it will appear on the powered art, though will have a glamour to prevent people who have seen both from identifying civilian identities. Hairstyles can change between civilian and powered form; only Corrupted Senshi have vastly different hair between civilian and powered forms (their hair grows extensively in length!) Unnatural hair and eye color are perfectly fine, and there is no need to say they use dye or contacts - your character is free to have been born with blue hair if you want. Genetic heterochromia is not allowed, sorry![/i]
[b]Eyes:[/b] Color, shape.

Hey Nux, where did all these characters come from?
Well friends, oocly they came from purchases I made in order to be able to have some fun twists on one of my events. ICly however is a different story. All 6 characters given away in Phase Three have been specifically hand-picked by the Argent-Black-Stratford team to work for the company as civilians and under the trio's command as negaverse agents with the intentions of working on the infiltration side of the Negaverse with goals to continue a media chokehold/monopoly that is pro-nega! They've under gone heavy screening processes both personally and on a corporate level so please keep that in mind when working on their entries! Due to the nature of the moonshop rules, they have only, at most, been inducted into the negaverse two weeks prior to their ic arrival! They may have, however, had longer term civilian interaction with any of the trio and it is expected that they are on friendly/comfortable/professional terms.

I'M ENTERING FOR MUSIC STAND Proof of Participation: (please provide proof of participation in any stage of Anthemusa) Number of Characters: 3 Powered 1 Civilian Name: Dade Colby
Nickname: DC
Age: 21
Birthday: Nov. 28
Sign: Sagittarius
Gemstone: Topaz
Blood Type: AB
Fav. Food: Lasagna
Hated Food: PB&J
School: Destiny City University Hobbies:
Music – There’s nothing DC would like more than to sit with a hot cup of chamomile tea and listen to some suave jazz or soft blues. Then again creating video game music is fun too. The quote, “Music tames the savage beast,” couldn’t be truer when it comes to DC, for music is his weakness. Play him a little country music and he softens right up. Of course, it must be quality music, none of that sexual trash, or music that degrades people or things. It soothes his tired nerves – and his nerves are always tired. His family were musicians of all kinds, but they’re gone now, well almost all gone, and the music is a form of remembering them. Video Games – DC loves his video games. The fighters, and the shooters, the RPGs and the Racing games, even the puzzle games. While music relaxes him, video games, get him rearing to go. They also block the pain. He loves them so much, that he started coming up with ideas for them a few years back. Now, he writes them. Mainly, he loves working on the music beat, but he’s sort of an all-around creator: he’s good with programming, script-writing, and even dabbles in the art arena. Still in college, his major is in Computer Science, specialty Video Games. He has less than a year left. Computers – Without computers there would be no video games. It goes without saying that he loves computers. He could not live his life without a computer and has a hard time putting it down. He has been playing on computers since he was three years old and never known a computer system older than Windows 2000. Quite frankly, he would be useless with one since he mainly prefers computers to be state of the art and has never used a computer system than the said Windows 2000. Computers continue to amaze him, and he can’t wait to see what they will do in the future.
Virtues: Hard-working – His parents were hard-working musicians that wanted him to know the value of persistence and so taught it to him the best way they knew how. From the time when he was very little, he was taught to master one instrument after another. The dedication and diligence that it took to master all those instruments, he puts into nearly everything he does. This has won him the respect of classmates and teachers alike, as well as some perspective employers. It has served him well. Hard work pays off his mother used to say, and he believes it, as he is about to finish his B.S. in Computer Science with a specialty in Video Games with a 4.0. and a major media company is about to bring him in. Humorous – Making little jokes help the day go by and cools DC off. His jokes are usually appropriate as far as in good humor and as far as appropriate to the situation. He doesn’t like off color jokes and will not tolerate them. This virtue puts him at ease with many people as it relaxes them and helps them let down their guard. He has thought for a long time that a good joke is one of the best way to disarm an opponent, and he practices them daily along with speeches or other things he need to say before a crowd. When his family died, he decided he had a choice. He could cry, or he could laugh. He decided he would rather laugh at life than to let life get him down. Ever since, he’s been making jokes. Protective – Protective. What a word for a Lieutenant in the Negaverse. But he is protective of a few things, in life that would be adverse for a Lieutenant. He is protective of music and its components- for it is what keeps him sane. He is protective of nature, for it raised him (not literally, but he was out in it most of the time growing up). He is protective of children for reasons known only to himself. And he is protective of his secrets, even from other Negas. One would not do well to put in danger those he is protective of; dangerous things could happen.
Flaws: Desperate – Often DC doesn’t like the tactics used by the Negaverse; but he reminds himself why he is doing this. He has job to do, and he will do it well. He is desperate and will do anything, even play the part of a cruel Negaverse Officer to fulfill the deal. He will break himself of all his ties to good, even his own personality if he needs to, to play the part. The crueler the better. Whatever must be done must be done. His nega cronies think this is awesome that he will do any deed (even if it is after a bit of complaining or fighting). But the Civilians think he is a complete jerk sometimes, especially after he stole their stapler or music stand or similar. Anxious – When DC is alone, he is weak and anxious, worried about family. Will this happen, will that happen? What if I do that? He should be on medication, because he is close to losing his nerve. He talks to himself sometimes and has whole conversations with himself; he is so worried about what will happen. He is afraid to see the doctor for anxiety about being locked up. Maybe he should talk to his Captain about it. But can he trust him? That question brings a very good point. Can any Negaverse Captain be trusted? But that could also be the anxiety talking. Hard – When DC isn’t alone, but isn’t having to be desperate, he is hard. Years of hard work and pain will do that to you. Having lost most of his family and ended up in the Negaverse as a somewhat decent man, DC has become rigid sometimes. Worn around the edges, and somewhat in a “I don’t care” mode, stuff hits him, and he moves on. What else could he do? What would his dear musician parents say if they could see him now, God rest them in their graves? God forgive him. He’s such a sinner, but what could he do? Nothing, so why care?

Weapon Your weapon will level up over three stages. Tell us what type of weapon you'd like, and we'll go from there. Keep in mind that weapons are supposed to start out as toys or gag weapons and should not do much damage in their first stage. They can grow more lethal once your agent reaches Captain stage—and they should definitely be lethal by General stage! Weapons should be predominantly physical and may have some magical elements. Lieutenant Weapon: Depending on the premade, this is already chosen for you! Captain Weapon: A 3-pronged lance General Weapon: A double-head lance with 3 prongs on each head; when weapon strikes its target, it draws energy
DC walked into his home and walked past the parlor as he always did, ignoring the invalid incumbent. He was extremely agitated tonight. Things had been done to his body and to him, without his permission. But why should he be upset… things like this were always happening to him. Okay, okay granted, not on this scale; he had never been physically and mentally “Corrupted” and told to conquer the world by beating up kids with powers. Had he lost it? Had he finally lost it? Did he need to call the hospital right now and be locked up? “Well,” he said to himself. “Let’s try it out.” He called for his weapon and it appeared in his hand. Just like that. “Okay, maybe you’re not crazy. But look at it, DC.” He looked at his weapon. It was a music stand. A frickin’ music stand. He had a frickin’ music stand for a weapon. How could that be a friggin’ weapon. “How, DC, can a music stand be a weapon? I don’t know. They did say if I wanted better, I had to be promoted. And just how are you going to do that? Experience, I guess. Right, so transform already!” He transformed. He was now wearing a green and black uniform suit with brassware. There were spade-shaped lapels and a gold earring and a good matching ring. “Nice duds, DC. Why thank you, DC.” He was now having whole conversations with himself and was getting a bit concerned. What was more concerning was that part of his job was to beat up on kids. To take over the world was a little less concerning- did that ever really happen in real life – I mean yeah, they had powers, but take over the world? Was it even possible? But beating up on kids? Sure, they had powers too, but that only evened it up a little. However, that wasn’t his main personal job. What was it they said? Infiltration Branch. That’s right. Through Argent Media’s video games and music. It wasn’t right. There was a moan from the other room. A shift in bedsheets. DC closed his eyes to hold back the pain. His hand already reached for the stereo. He turned some jazz and listened intently, trying to block all other sound out. Then, the he remembered, when they gave him the job and asked him to be a part of the Negaverse; they offered him anything he wanted. Money. Jewels. Power. He said no. Money, he had enough – his family had left him billions (the question was; why did he come here to Destiny City, and go to DCU, and become a Media student?). Jewels, he didn’t need. Power, he didn’t want. Besides, he wouldn’t do it for anything or anyone, he said, but he hesitated. Anything they had asked? They did some quick checking and found his weakness. They would pay for him. They would find a way. And all he had to do was, 1. Infiltrate innocent people, 2. Beat up on some kids with powers, and 3. Take over the world. “Not so bad when you put it that way, right, DC?” He said to himself. “I guess. You guess? I guess so.” He frowned. He was doing it again. Talking to himself. Talking to himself in full conversation mode. DC groaned. He had to lay off the extra strong coffee. Decaf mode for him from now on. There was another moan from the other room. He squeezed his eyes shut in pain and only turn the jazz music up louder. He decided to get some chamomile tea.
I'M ENTERING FOR MUSIC STAND Proof of Participation:xxx Number of Characters: 4 powered : 1 civ Name: Sigurd Renouf
Nickname: "The Ace of Spades" and other derivatives therein when online; “Egg” when playing as his Viking persona
Age: 25
Birthday: November 30th
Sign: Saggitarius
Gemstone: Tanzanite
Blood Type: B+
Fav. Food: Anything involving noodles
Hated Food: Shellfish (allergies)
School: Meadowview High grad (barely); will be working at Argent Industries for the most part, previously worked at a museum
Hobbies: Odd Jobs - Sigurd may work for Argent Industries now, but he's also often just about Destiny City doing whatever quick jobs are around. From the sometimes shady offers of Craiglist to a neighbor's need to mow the lawn, the big man likes to go about and do good where he can. He hates being bored anyway, and the stimulation of unknown jobs in random places helps rub the itch when he can't just travel. This sometimes leads to him getting into back-alley incidents and pit fights but, really, who wants a life without a few of those?
Cards - Those callused hands are keen to hold a hand themselves. The thrill of shoving piles of coins his way, the tips and turns, he loves to play through it all. Sigurd's been lucky so far when the gambling itch hits him, but he's certainly not a card shark. Certainly not. His hobby has earned him "The Ace of Spades" nickname, namely because he'd play Death itself in a game if the opportunity arose. Or because he probably listens to the song in one ear bud while playing all the time. (He probably did so on purpose due to the below.)
Roleplay/Persona Creating - Sigurd currently runs a blog-partial vlog where he plays the part of an ancient, amnesiac viking lost in the 21st century via mysterious time traveling means, being slowly taught the modern ways of American culture via close friends such as Youtube's Ally Argent. He also likes to play MMOs that had dedicated rp servers and is the most hardcore D&D character/GM in and out of game. He might play the same type of character everywhere, but he clearly enjoys and puts his heart into it; hell, Sigurd sometimes slips into that persona without thinking in his every day life.
Virtues: Encouraging - "I can't do it" isn't in Sigurd's vocabulary, and he doesn't expect it to be in yours either. He is an exemplar of a good teacher or parent, patient with those he works with and flexible when it comes to helping others reach their goal. Hell, if he can physically take the obstacle out of the way, he will. He's a team player and can't imagine winning anything just by "carrying everyone else." (Even if physically he probably could.)
Steadfast - As much machismo as he exudes, Sigurd is also quite an emotional guy. Loyalty means everything to him, and that means making sure that his are taken care of: shoulder to cry on, fist to punch out an a*****e, whatever is needed. Fair or stormy weather, he's here to stay as a six foot, bearded umbrella.
Adventurous - For better or for worse, Sigurd is simply fearless. He'll try anything once and doesn't seem to remember what risks are. Open-minded beliefs are key to keeping his life spicy with activities, and sometimes that means taking the path less traveled--or creating a whole new path with some elbow grease and montage music. One never needs to worry about whether Sigurd is up to do something, and that's if he doesn't rope you into something else first. He's a social creature that craves interaction after all.
Flaws: Tactless - Sigurd is usually so blunt that his words could be weapons. It's not usually done to be cruel, though he certainly has the capacity, but it's just that he doesn't really have a filter. Often if it forms in his head, he's just gonna say it without further ado. He's uncomplicated but doesn't see the problem in calling a spade a spade either. (He is the Ace of them, after all.)
Rowdy - Volume control isn't Sigurd's best quality, and boredom is his worst enemy. He's just here to have a good time, so why harsh his vibe? Drink another glass, friend! It's not alcoholism if you keep count! Especially when drunk, Sigurd can also get combative, easier to annoy, and more stubborn about getting his way. He's not shy about getting violent if need be either, and in fact seems to relish combat just a bit too much for it to be healthy.
Vulgar - In addition to that, Sigurd's frank nature can often turn into just a nasty mess--and that's not counting if he's drunk off his a**. An angry Sigurd can spew forth a sailor's worth of curses just as much as a happy one can if he doesn't mind himself. Don't even talk about sex to him on that note: he sees no problem delving straight past foreplay and into the raunchy details even in public, which makes even silly innuendos sound like a verbal undressing. He wants it, so he says it, so he gets it, right?
Weapon Lieutenant Weapon: A music stand that likes to collapse more than anything else Captain Weapon: A pair of bladed gloves using the 3 prongs from the music stand General Weapon: A larger and deadlier version of his Captain stage with serrated additions. The blades can leave behind a residue in the wounds that, when circulated in the blood, can affect or even spike adrenaline levels at player discretion. (ie. heart palpitations, mild fever, anxiety, sweating, general stress) Alternatively, he accidentally just pumps his opponent up oops
prompt four: a journal entry in Sigurd's blog (679 words)
"HEATHENRY"! What goat fathered b*****d Christian...Feigr, feigr, feigr! I knew we should not have trusted them and their White Jesus! I [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and--tók af hǫfuðit--[TRANSLATION ERROR] [REDACTED] his mother right before [REDACTED] [TRANSLATION ERROR] HIS DAUGHTER SO SAVAGELY [TRANSLATION ERROR] [ERROR] [ERROR] [ERROR] [ERROR]

The language-made-clear-construct is working again a little before Undorn. I have calmed down, but by Allfather, I may well strike down whatever man in white robes approaches with my bare hands. "Heathenry," they called my customs! Let me tell you what hypocrites they are: they have taken Jul and perverted it into a monster I no longer recognize. The wind is cold, but hearts are colder still with all this rampant bribery and...commerce? I believe is the word. Would that I had a sword to bear and a direct enemy to cut down. But I do not. I have only a name I give myself until the true one returns to me, the clothes on my back, and what shadowed memories that do remain.
It is turning dark. I have made a small fire in this abandoned building and huddle against a wall as darkness falls. My language-made-clear-construct is no company at all. But if you are reading this, then perhaps I am not so alone. Let me tell you a story, then, if only to keep the silence at bay. Let me tell you about Jul.
ᛟxxx ᛟ xxxᛟ
It is--It was--Twelve days long. Yes, like your Twelve Days of Christmas; I will mention their derivatives. Twelve days to celebrate the end of year, feasting and celebrating and paying religious homage. One of my favorite traditions because of how much there is to do. We would sacrifice a large boar to Frey to ensure good harvest and then eat it. (Like your less tasteful roast ham.) We would take a log, carve runes, and pray to the gods for protection. Then we would burn it and keep a piece to leave in the home, to anchor that prayer. (I have seen your "yule logs." They are garish but...decent.) We would erect a giant sunwheel, set it on fire, and roll it down hills to encourage the sun to endure the winter--not always without a burn or two, but entrancing to watch.
I can hear your protests. "Swastika, you mean!" I do not know entirely why that was taken from us, but no. The sunwheel was ours long before the modern German tribe twisted it.
What else? Oh, the tree spirits. I remember as a child helping decorate the evergreens with clothes, trinkets, and statues of the gods. Things to help entice the spirits back. (You do this now with your Christmas Trees, but with no heart. Not in markets where the false reproduce faster than what is real.) I may try to tend a tree this year, with what little I do have. Perhaps the spirits have not gone yet. The Wild Hunt is not about with their dead, however, or at least I have not seen or heard of their presence about. Small miracles.
The biggest [REDACTED] tainted custom has to be Odin. Wodin. Wotan. Whatever you barbarians call him. The Christians have replaced him with a sack of goat fat with legs! What a jolly little living piece of target practice Father Christmas must be! You have neutered him and his apple cheeks with your simpering softness. I do not understand.
Imagine a gray-bearded god of logic and thought. Imagine him tall and strong and fatherly, bent not with age but with the weight of his responsibility. Imagine his single iron eye and the power wielded like a cloak upon his person. Imagine his authority when he drives the divine goat chariot, or when he is astride the fearsome Sleipnir.
Tell me: who would strike a better vision in the winter sky? When you lay your boots of straw and sugar out as a kindness at the hearth, who would you wish to see smile upon you? This?
Or this?

⏺Interior Decorator⏺ Yoseline believes that a good home is one that a good home is one that reflects the owner. At a young age she had always been fascinated by buildings. When her family had went on vacations she would always find a way to explore the hotel, the lobby and every inch of the facility. She could tell you every detail about any building or home that she has ever visited. She is constantly moving furniture around into new layouts and new floorplans. She would even picture how a building or room would look if she was ever able to move around the furniture in other people's home.
Seeing the expression on people's faces when she makes their home dreams come true. The rush and thrill when a client finally sees their finished room for the first time.
⏺Pin-up Modeling⏺ Pin up modeling is Yoseline's bad side. Something that she gets a thrill of doing. When she first started it was just something to do on a boring Sat morning. Then she posted her pictures on her Instagram for her friends and the next day she gotten a whole bunch of new followers. She went from 100 to over three hundred then three hundred to a thousand. After seeing her growing following she started to do more pinup photos. The sexuality and femininity she started to feel felt good.. She then started showing a little skin and then decided to start selling the risqué photos. 30-60s are more of her style.
Virtues:
⏺Passionate⏺ Joseline is passionate about everything that she does rather it's interior decorator or Pin up modeling. Or just the negaverse she puts everything she has into it. She is always motivated and happy to wake up and get out of bed to get the day started to do the things she loves. She believes that if you can't do something 5 hours a day or more every day then you don't like it enough to be successful at it. But if you can do it for five hours or more than it is probably worth going at it with all your energy.
⏺Independent⏺ Yoseline is an extremely independent woman. She would rather fix and do everything herself then let someone do it to take the weight off of her shoulders. She doesn't want to rely on others and prefers the opposite. She's kinda used to it though. Bring the oldest of three sisters she had to take care not only of them but her mother too.
Flaws:
⏺Bossy⏺ Yoseline is the oldest of two siblings. Her bossiness is coming from taking over responsibility over not only her sisters but the household really early in her childhood. Yoseline likes to take everything into her own hands causing her to act rather unlikely at times, telling the people around her what to do and what not, especially her sisters who can very well take care of their self by now. Usually she then needs someone to pull her off her high horse then, Yoseline tends to not even notice when she's trying to Mom everyone.
⏺Perfectionist⏺ If you want something done right then you have to do it yourself. That's what Yoseline beloved. She doesn't like letting any One doing any kind of task or work when she beloved she cod do it better than them. It was to be done right and the only way to accomplish that is to hand it over to her. She had high demanding standard for not only herself but others too. She is always in fear that if she is not doing a task or anything that the person doing it is doing it the wrong way.
Yoseline made it into the negaverse. She couldn't belive it. Wait no of course she could believe it. She is of the course the most qualified for this postion The other candates are nothing compared to her. She looked around her room. She had just recieved the call that shewas accepted. She felt like celebrating. To receive that news the first thing in the morning was such an amazing thing. She had other things to do before she did anything like going out for drinks. She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and took a guick shower. She then went on with her responsibilites for the day. The next thing she had to do was check on her neice and prepare breakfast for her and the rest of the family.
She thought back to the "interview" and her decision to join the metaverse. She was never the super hero kind of person. She was never the one who loved super heroes. To her they seemed to have their own agenda. Their own hang-ups about life and what not. They seemed to only want to do something good only for the fame and attention. Always wanted to get the girl or guy. They seemed to have their own selfish reason for saving the world. But if you looked at it. It was always the villain that was talked about, The villain, the bad guy always made the front page. They always made the front spot on the news. Hell, reward money was giving for their capture. No really talked about the super hero. Some people, cops including spend their time on finding, on obsession on the villain. Cops and citizens also turned against the hero in the end. They will start to feel threatened that the hero is out here with super powers and feel scared. Take the X-Men for instance. The world was trying to get rid of them put them down when they were fighting evil. The outfits that villains wore were awesome. So much better than the ones super heroes wore. How many heads get turned on Halloween in a basic looking superman outfit? None. Supervillains had more edge when it came to fashion choices. Villains have the best monologues, the best sayings, the best comebacks. They have the best intricate, mind blowing plots. Sure you know that their end goal is world destruction or takeover but how they are going to get their is the best part. PERFECTION IS BORING!!!
Yoseline wanted that glory. Yoseline wanted all the fame and attention and adoration that came with being the bad guy.

Hobbies:
Speedrunning - Speedrunning video games is Emilia’s specialty and her passion. She started playing “casually” as soon as she was old enough to hold a controller, although there was never anything truly casual about her relationship with games. She was the one who would snap up the newest title and destroy it in a matter of days, not leaving a single treasure chest or side quest undiscovered. Discovering speedrunning was the natural next step. As she got Internet access, she saw the wider community and that she could do this competitively. Her main focus in speedrunning is the Mario series, and her best category is the Super Mario Galaxy 120 Star run. She livestreams her runs at regularly scheduled intervals to a decent following and has been to live competitions a few times.
Reading - If it’s not a controller in Emilia’s hands, there’s a decent chance it’s a book. She’s always read with the same sharp, ferocious attitude she has towards everything else, getting through stories in record time, leaving her fairly well read. She was an English major in college, planning to go into media journalism in order get a career in video games. This introduced her to classics she wouldn’t have read otherwise. She does have a soft spot for certain character and can even be known to fangirl, especially where the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series are concerned.
Beauty - There are high cosmetic standards for women on the Internet, especially the gaming corner of it, but Emilia has taken all this in stride and turned beauty into her self care time. She especially enjoys the research aspect of it all, making sure that she is using the best things for her skin at the best prices and that she knows her techniques and her colors. Then, when she’s feeling the need to pamper herself, she’ll use a face mask, try out a new look, or even indulge in a spa day. She’ll also give others makeovers from time to time.
Virtues:
Patient - Name aside, speedrunning is something that requires a lot of patience. Emilia has spent the last several years perfecting a single video game, restarting the moment that she makes a mistake, and this attitude has bled into other aspects of her life. She is not someone who lives for instant gratification. She can wait. She can be in things for the long haul. She can tolerate quite a bit of general unpleasantness as long as it serves her eventual purposes.
Logical - Emilia is not someone who is ruled by emotions. She lives by the facts, especially in times of conflict. She is not baffled by pretty words or cheap tactics aimed at the heart. Instead, she is able to evaluate products, people, and situations logically, which usually gives her a clearer picture of what is going on. She does not fall for sob stories. She is not overly bothered by trollish comments about her that are simply untrue. In fact, being logical helps with her thick skin in general. When problems do arise, she is quick to move to the problem solving stage rather than wallowing. If that problem solving includes cutting losses, she will cut losses and keep moving forwards with her eyes fixed on that eventual positive outcome.
Focused- Emilia is not the absent-minded type. In conversations, she is very present and usually quite direct. She makes sure that she gets her point across. In other situations, it is much the same. She has her goals, she keeps them in mind at all times, and she is difficult to distract from them. She lives her life with a speedrunner’s precision and attention to detail which serves her well in getting to where she wants to be.
Flaws:
Competitive - Emilia’s logical nature and focus on games has made her into someone who sees many things in life in black in white. You succeed or you fail, you win or you lose, and she always wants to win. Always. She will climb up the scoreboard of life and the others can be the losers. In essence, she acts cooly or even rudely to those she sees as competition. Once she wins, she gets unpleasantly smug. She’s not exactly a sore loser in the traditional sense, as she doesn’t explode. Emilia plays things for the long game. She holds grudges close until they fester and she takes every chance to get back her victory. These habits make her somewhat unpleasant to be around.
Arrogant - Emilia sees some people as competition. The others don't stand a chance. While she knows that she is not yet the best, she is very much trying to be, and if someone prove to be worse at something than she is, she will immediately begin thinking of them as inferior. She scoffs at those who try to talk movies when they haven’t read the books, giving her a bit of a reputation as one of those fans. She's smug to those who can't keep up with her gaming knowledge. Even in moments when it's not as obvious, she tends to see people who can't keep up with her high standards as childlike if she likes them and stupid if she doesn't.
Narrow - Emilia is very much a specialist. She has her areas of expertise, particularly speedrunning, where she is working hard to become the best of the best, and then there is everything else. Emmy can’t cook anything more complicated than scrambled eggs. She can’t change a tire. She has no idea how to use a screwdriver, let alone fix something. She can’t sew. She can’t really clean. She’s pretty useless at most things that fall out of the academic or gaming world, honestly, and she doesn’t show much interest in learning. Those things are for those other people to do, and she barely spares a thought for their hard work. Obviously makes it difficult for some to respect her, as well as making it hard for her when nobody is around to do her basic service tasks.

These are the things that Emilia Asher brought to her interview at Renegade Media.
First, of course, were the basics, sent ahead in her resume. She was a fresh graduate of DCU, an English and Journalism double major with a 4.0 GPA and an impressive string of internships across the country with a few from recognizable magazines. There were shining letters of recommendation from her academic advisor and an internship boss, highlighting the fact that she was high-achieving. Self-motivated. Sharp.
This was a media company, one that focused on videos and gaming, and so the second thing that Emmy brought was her experience in the gaming community. She brought links to the videos of her personal best speedrun, and to a stream where she’d had a lot of viewers to chat with. By the numbers, she had been a guest at three live speedrunning competitions now. She brought a viewership that was several thousand and growing. They were fresh faces, without much overlap to Ally Argent’s fanbase. She had checked. They were also already gamers, excited and ready to lap up any games she would recommend to them on the company’s behalf.
The day of the interview, driving up to the offices, she brought herself. She stepped out of her car bright eyed and standing tall. This job in video game journalism was everything she had prepared for. It was everything she was good at. It was everything that she wanted. She wore a sleek black blazer and eyeliner winged to a point to show that she was serious. Her Luma earrings were a nod to her game of choice, to show her connection to that side of things and her sense of fun.
She walked up the steps and inside, checked in with a secretary, and sat down to wait until called. This felt like the end of a good run, stepping up to the final boss while the chat went wild. Like those times, she had gotten here through a lot of hard work and practice, and it felt like it was minutes away from paying off. Still, she also knew that like in a game, it could all fall away in a matter of seconds. Her heart fluttered against her ribs. She couldn’t lose sight of the goal.
The last thing that Emilia brought was something that was general practice to bring to an interview. It was her smile, but it was not just any smile. While other people would just bring whatever smile they happened to have, Emmy had been working with braces and white strips for years so that now hers was straight and beautiful and perfect.
Her name was called, and she walked down the hallway to the office where the interview would happen. She flashed pearly teeth at the person behind the desk and extended her hand in a smooth motion.
“Hi,” she said. “I’m Emilia Asher. It’s a pleasure.”
