YOU COULD HAVE MY HEART IF YOU HAD THE STOMACH TO TAKE IT. KISS ME HARD ENOUGH TO INVERT ME.

you are the rot— you are the ruin ( not the moment of devastation, but the shivering echo thereafter. baby, you’ve seen your reflection in the mirror and you have pressed your hands against the glass and you have pressed your mouth against your mouth and you have breathed out absolution—i forgive you, you promise to yourself, the cavernous hollow HALLOW of your body shaking with grief, i forgive you, ) and your beating heart is as kill-blood darling red as your hands.you press your hands to your mouth and you kiss your fingertips, red fucking red smeared across your mouth. you are alive, your heart sings, you are alive and it is a joy and it is a blessing and you,you, the mouth of god— you, cupid’s arrow finding its way home in the dark,you are so full of love you ACHE with it, and you will find a way to save everyone from their own sins ( I WILL KISS YOU, MY MOUTH ON YOUR MOUTH, AND LICK ALL THE DIRT FROM YOUR THROAT ) one way or another.

call me zero ! muse and mun are both 21+ & because of the nature of this character, i would prefer to not write with minors.
saint's themes circle around things like zealotry & faith, existential terror, and love as a violence. this is not to say that these themes will be in all encounters, but please keep this in mind if you decide to plot something long-term with them !
ooc does not equal ic ! the opinions and actions of my character do not correlate with my own views.
you have my permission to harm my character however you'd like, so long as there is no godmodding or metagaming involved ! in fact, acts of violence are welcome.
saint is technically a good & moral character, but taken to the extremes— which is very bad. i do prefer dark&mature plots, but saint is really down for anything! they're very silly when they're not on business & are always down to meme around.
for all intents & purposes, saint is a very weird priest with very weird aether. they also are non-combative— unless there's an agreed upon direction or combat is requested for OOCly.
i am very receptive to walk-ups & tells! you can find saint around different venues or primarily balmung @pearl lane. they are an alt, so prior communication is preferred in regards to plots & writing!

neon-dream eyes so bright they put the stars to shame— they’re summer-sea blue, heaven’s tears blue, the blue of flame too hot to hold.fever-bright irises set above a delicate nose prone to scrunching and a mouth that holds half the sun in its smile, all livewire intensity eased with a tender affection.lean & lithe, slender shoulders & pale throat, soft hair that falls into eyes. their curls are colorless, a shade of pure white that blends into the snow.softly furred ears that tend to flick idly, and a snowy-white tail. ruby-red gem set against the nape of their neck.

ABOUT BLESSINGS
they exhale a particular strain of aether ( strange & uncanny & too much like the too-blue depths of a starless sea ) from between their lips. they grant their god's blessings with a mere touch, and the sensation it engraves is quite unlike anything else. ( like drowning, like falling head-first into the blue horizon. )

WHEN I OFFER YOU ALL I HAVE TO OFFER / YOU KISS MY EMPTY PALMS

currently the advisor to a certain yakuza heiress; there is something OFF about the way they look at you, all delicate affection and joy— as if this salvation they preach is in the bloom of their smile.they talk about holiness and faith like the sun is caught in their laugh— like it's a drowning, and oh they're gonna' pull you right under,because these hands were made for praying, baby. count your blessings.

LIKES
sunlight scattered through crystal windows; the brush of fingertips against cheek; affection, both the giving & the taking; spun-sugar stars that melt on their tongue; the consuming of secrets; the taking of red hands & redder thoughts.

DISLIKES
unknown. ( despair that rots on their tongue; feeling too much & the way that crashes over their head; the bittersweet of iridescent petals. )

PERSONALITY
warm & bright, prone to endearments and gentle touches. likes people; likes talking to people and learning their stories. wants to be a harbor at the edges of the world, but is more often than not the flood that pulls you under. loves you ( yes, you ) most dearly.

blessings

simple blessings affect various traits and act as buffs, ranging from relieving fatigue to an increase in luck.more complex blessings operate on the use of PROMISES through WISHES & SACRIFICE as conduits to manipulate aether. the user must fulfill those promises using whatever means necessary in order to generate a MIRACLE— which manifests as translucent, bloodsucking butterflies. these butterflies may have different effects from different oaths, and the effects of them are strengthened or weakened depending on the sacrifice and promise in question.WISHES must begin with the words i wish and have that same intention; a butterfly will land upon the wishmaker’s body if the wishgranter accepts the wish and will remain inked on skin for as long as it takes for the wishgranter to fulfill that wish. if the wish is granted, the butterfly will siphon enough aether from the wishmaker and blood from the wishgranter to generate a MIRACLE, which has an effect that follows the intent & voiced wish of the wishmaker.the wishmaker & the wishgranter can be the same person. ex. i wish to obtain a flower once successfully fulfilled will manifest enough energy to fuel a buff or a heal. i wish to be stronger, however, as it does not deal with the material + ending, is up to interpretation— this will necessitate a sacrifice as payment until the wish is granted.anything can be a sacrifice.MIRACLES take four distinct forms, each with strengths and weaknesses. only one type may manifest upon a single target at any given time. only one type may manifest for area of effect spells.

CORPOREAL, or that which manipulates the body— strength and defence buffs, agility buffs, the sharpening of sight, and healing. debuffs include rendering a target susceptible to bleed debuffs, weakening the physique, or pinpointing vulnerable areas of the target. stronger wishes may even resurrect the dead or bring someone back from the brink of death.ETHEREAL, or that which manipulates the surroundings— there is no creation from nothing, but rather merely the ability to affect surrounding matter; raising or lowering air pressure to call forth a storm, filtering combustible gases, or affecting temperature and pressure. stronger wishes may summon a tsunami or an earthquake.MATERIAL, or that which manipulates matter— there is no creation from nothing, but rather including the strengthening of metals, the reshaping of already-made materials, or the creation of alchemical compounds. stronger wishes may bring forth a fortress from a needle.SPIRITUAL, or that which manipulates energy— the most exhausting of these forms, requiring the most serious sacrifices and wishes; cannot be used without completing the relevant preparatory steps. it manipulates memories & the psyche. requires equivalent exchange from the wishmaker: ex. losing the wishmaker’s own memories to erase the target’s memories, etc. requires the user to be motionless— encased in a cocoon of silk until the miracle is completed.

benzene-ikka

family boss. kisaragi eizo
headquarters. yanxia, othardthe BENZENE-IKKA is a yakuza family headed by kisaragi eizo, based in othard— one of their most prominent ventures was extorting citizens of yanxia to protect them from garlean rule, but since the fall of garlemald, they’ve used their connections on both ends to use garleans while hiding them in hingan society.otherwise, they specialize in illegal gambling, drug trafficking, and weapon trafficking; some divisions have also branched out into smuggling and money laundering.they have a fairly infamous reputation, even among fellow syndicates. they betray what can’t keep up with them and devour the remains, only growing further in power. the sekiseigumi say it’s a gamble that criminal organizations are inevitably drawn by— but the odds are always in the favor of the house.kisaragi jun, daughter of the oyabun, is functionally one of the family’s shateigashira— presiding over what is colloquially known in the underworld as the KAIMETSU-KAI, which is host to all manner of monsters that were never meant to see the light of day.( in a manner that is deviously similar to that of vice and virtue’s concord, they take in anybody who is left of what the benzene-ikka conquers; often what is left are people who are angry at the world. the kaimetsu-kai collects wounds that refuse to heal. )

if you're down on your luck,ㅤ

then you may have heard of a travelling priest who blesses people in the name of their god— rumours say that this particular priest doesn't ask for anything in return.rumours also say, however, that they have a particular interest in confessions of sin.

if you're familiar with the yakuza,ㅤ

then you may have seen these two around: kisaragi jun and her advisor. the benzene-ikka is not a group that is known for their pure intentions; what, then, is a priest doing with their heiress?( between the two of them, who is the worse monster? )

ㅤif you're tired of the red on your hands,ㅤ

oh, darling, come a little closer & rest your weary head— there's something about them that calls to you like the gallows to a sinner; your secrets are safe with them.in return, they shall grant you a wish.

for those with aethersight,

the first thing you might notice is the way their aether swells in their body— like a tsunami. like a flood. like something inevitable,the blue of the sea without a horizon. the dreamlike state beneath the waves & the starless sky, terror & salvation all at once,and you might take it upon yourself to seek them out.

for those who have lost their way,ㅤ

tbw.

ㅤfor those who are faithful,ㅤ

they're very interested in the stories of gods, both new & old. hold your faith in your heart, little love; they'll gladly exchange their thoughts ( or blessings, even ) for you & your piety.& if you are looking for their god, let it be known that they are the last worshiper in existence.
