OUT OF LUX discussion

@alpha I realized it may have to be zahra and not Taja. since you said five years ago was when the brother was killed right? and Taja wasn’t in serpentine until she was 15. So a year after. That said, I would be fine making her 20 instead so it still works?

No no! This isn't that important. Plus, I think the drama of him one day attempting to murder a councillor would be fun.

Taja is the Councillor! I agree it would be fun, so I want to make it work so that I can use her instead of Zahra, just since five years ago would make it a year before she joined the Snakes. If I make her twenty instead of ninteen, she'd be fifteen and a part of the gang, and maybe the kill was one of her first ones as a gang member, another reason she did it, because she was younger, more gullible and such
also question for you! so, I like what you do in your character thread where you have a separate post for the character's relationships, and as I am always out of space in my profiles when I get to the relationship section, would you be okay if i took a page out of your book and made separate posts in my thread for my character's relationships? I didn't know if doing so without asking would be considered copying your template, so I wanted to ask if you minded <3

Oh okay! Sorry, I tend to confuse names often lol.
And of course! I'm not gonna put a claim on using seperate posts lol. My profile aesthetic maybe but that just seems unreasonable! Go right ahead!

Detail have been acquired. The 'murder' or 'kill' was committed in the morning. Kalm and Khaos would sleep in two single beds side by side. One morning, Khaos was awoken to the sound of a blood curdling scream, one that belonged to Kalm. He jolted awake to watch the 'new snake girl' pulling a knife out of Kalms' heart before running off. Khaos fought the urge to chase and kiss her (since he could have) and instead stayed with his brother trying to save the mans life. His efforts were helpless, the injuries too great, and Kalm died that morning. Following the death, Khaos spoke to only a few members of the gang, figuring out the name of the murderer and then leaving the gang, not being able to stand being there any longer.
And so for final confirmations, we're doing Taja and she's the councillor/snake?

it’s okay!
And thank you! I appreciate it, and I had just wanted to ask to be safe haha.
Yes! And that detail works for me! Taja had always been gullible hence when she ended up in the gang in the first place (they claimed to care about her), and so it’s possible she was also manipulated into killing Kalm as well as some sort of initiation/her first kill ever or something. But you’re saying it was not authorized by the Rattler and Head right?

How about we say some now dead/former member of the gang told Taja that the way she officially became a snake was by taking the life of another. Then she went and killed Kalm? Hence, the kill isn't actually part of the initiation but she was manipulated to believe so by them saying 'to prove you have the guts and strength'.

that works actually! because whosever it was bad probably seen how she was easily manipulated and so if that person and a few others stuck to that story because they thought it was amusing, she’d believe it to be true and then kill someone for them. And it’s possible when she found out after the fact that that wasn’t true, she probably pinned the murder on one of the people who told her to do it and got them in trouble and/or killed? So I’d assume half the gang thinks it was someone else and half knows it was her?
My only thing now is why the head and rattler haven’t killed Taja for killing Kalm. Maybe because they realized she was skilled enough to keep around and now that she’s in council she’s trying to pull strings and stuff for the snakes idk
though that’s more a question for Isabella and Rory I suppose

You can decide what they think. Maybe she lied and said that she didn't know what happened since maybe after Khaos left the other snakes he was with left the gang two, there were only like two. And that way nobody knows she did it and it's her secret only to carry.

that could work. Either she lied and the others left as well, or she did it under an illusion position that changed her appearance! And then the two who had her do it left anyway and it’s just Taja who knows the truth (of the people left in the gang)

I think It should just be those who knew left that gang. probably from shame or smtg. that way the secret is safe and it doesn't affect her too badly... yet...

yeah I that’s what I figured, probably better that way because it would complicate things too much if others knew. Lmao the way you added the “yet”

the 'yet' basically stands for when Khaos finds out she's a councillor he's gonna try and give her the same treatment his brother received :)

@all, I'm working on relationship blurbs for characters finally so sorry if you get many messages in this thread confirming stuff for me lmao
alpha!
is this about what we discussed for alianna and sahir?
Alianna knows Sahir is a threat to her endgame and her goals. If he uses magic, she is afraid that he will find out her skill with it, as well, and that she's lying about her past and her origins. And so, to keep up her own appearance of being Runalithe born-and-raised, Alianna always verbally attacks and hates on Sahir, the mage of the crew, for his magic. She's always putting him down, acting distrustful around him and his work with magic, playing her part of the magic-hating Runalithe individual to perfection.

actually thats too much work I will just post each characters when i finish them and y'all can tell me if I'm right about what we discussed

hi again sorry all, if your character has a relationship of any sorts with alianna we have discussed, can you confirm this all looks ok? if we havent talked yet about the crew or something, lmk and we can do that so we can figure out the dynamics!
Alianna's Relationships

looks great! alisa’s history went on a bit of a rollercoaster ride but the relationships look fine!
wait
should we rp them soon?

where tho?and in case you missed it, alisa’s now not from asterath anymore but sometimes speaks with an asterathi accent so maybe alianna thinks she is from asterath because of her accent?

uh
I do not know
we need that runalithe base lmao oh yeah I know! but wait why does she speak with an Asterathi accent then? and maybe but I also don’t know if she’d believe someone else came across the whole moon to get to runalithe

we seriously dosomeone taught her how to speak without her home dialect and he was from asterath so she picked it up from him
that’s true, but alisa claims she’s from an international trading city where people from all continents live so…?

no you’re fine I just wasn’t aware it existed is all! So she could think that maybe, or thinks she sounds similar to Asterath people and probably is wary of that since it’s the same continent as Voxthain

sounds good!
alisa will have no suspicion of alianna except of her not being true to the cause and detecting magic on her lol

okay! Though come to think of it Alianna probably has a Voxthain accent, or a faint one. She did leave the city like six or so years ago though so

alisa doesn’t care lol"
kk


wait how does she have a grandmother from Voxthain I thought there was a limit on the people between places??


tho if you think about it, a grandmother was quite a long while back
i guess the limit was ppl being a part of both cities, not having ties?

yeah that's fine but we're not doing that anymore is what we're saying, we've had plenty of characters with ties and being part of both so just no more characters with those types of histories. a grandmother is fine because that was approved months ago when the group first started up <3

kk!!
I mean, Alianna would have a Voxthain accent yes, but she probably did work to get rid of it or cover it up. and, because she has been away from the city for about six years now or so, maybe naturally it's turned into some hybrid voxthain-runalithe mix


Alianna is both don’t touch my work and don’t help me AND I won’t help you with yours unless I have to. Like. She’ll pretend to be tolerant when she has to be, but she’d told Emilie at length bc she would be worried if her figuring her out. And she’d never let her anywhere near her work either

hi y’all! here are some general collabs/requests i am posting :)
arya
looking for a friend or really just anyone! (i understand she’s rlly young)
rosalind
she’s got lots of ‘identities’ so i’m really up for anything! romantic partners, friends, enemies, i don’t mind! she is a sword fighter in the asterath ring, and also a night rider spy but her true loyalties are the snakes (double agent) so lots of opportunities for relationships with characters! :)
juliette
she is a snake and preferably looking for romantic partners (i am totally up for them being from another gang)
friends/enemies are open too!
celia
just looking for a lifelong loyal friend for my aroace girlie <3
or enemies… i’m always up for drama lol
if anyone wants to discuss anything to do with lala, elara or alisa, just let me know!
ty <3

I have Clarissa, who's a snake. I feel like she could get along well with Juliette or Rosalind, your choice :)
I'm also working on my spider character Mallory. I just started her, so she's not finished. I'll try to get her done as soon as possible :)
Here is the link to my thread:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I guess we'll have to do an rp with them sometime soon and see what we think
