about

hello! I am veldt, a four-year returnee of 'Souls and former pack leader of New Caledonia, the local Game of Thrones knock-off! rip sweet prince.

I am shamelessly addicted to drama, angst, romance for my characters, so if any of that interests you, give me a holler! I love writing stupid love stories and live and die for my character ships. *shakes tiny fist*

as far as interests goes, it's all pretty standard fare for a nerd: I love vidya (Starcraft, the Dark Souls series, Pokémon, and I have played the shit out of Slay the Spire ngl), I love anime (Death Note, DBZ, JJK), and I am a recent obsessee of DOOM and anything related to it. please god ask me about DOOM. I have a tattoo of DOOM. send me your favorite DOOM II wads. thirst over Samuel Hayden with me. I am here and living for it.

in terms of activity, my posting speed is currently medium-ish — trying to bracket! again! so, replies should hopefully not take any longer than 2 weeks, though I'm hesitant to put an exact ETA on those. however, if you find that I'm taking too long to reply, feel free to poke me with a gentle reminder! sometimes things fly under my radar. :')


more stuff

contact info

I get notifications for Discord and check it pretty often (but have a terrible habit of seeing messages and forgetting about them, oof), so if you want to plot or talk, hit me up there! just check the 'Souls server for my tag. I'd love to talk with you or brainstorm. otherwise reaching me by PM is fine, it just might take me a bit longer to respond. ;>

roleplaying preferences

  • Mature Content:
    • just as a disclaimer, I have a lot of traumatized characters, and themes surrounding physical, psychological, religious, sexual, or substance abuse will come up in my threads. anything beyond vague mentions will always be marked [M].
    • I will roleplay light sexual content, but if it progresses further I will typically ask to fade to black. maybe small exceptions to this for more plot-heavy romance or folks I am more comfortable writing with! :eyes:
    • however, as far as violence and gore are concerned, count me in — that stuff is fine with me, so long as we have a clear-cut purpose for it! senseless bloodshed, maybe not so much.
    • anything plots that involve substance (ab)use, aka drugs, alcohol, etc. are A-OK with me.
  • I can roleplay LASKY for character development, plot purposes, etc., but I'm really bad at keeping up with it.
    • canonical threads take a higher priority and I am not looking for experimental AUs at this time.
  • Minor powerplay is totally cool (small talk, physical touch, anything to keep the thread moving more or less)!
    • but if it's anything more than that I'd love a heads-up. :D Just DM me if you're unsure.
    • similarly, if I ever make assumptions about your character's actions/words/etc. and you're not down with it, let me know! usually I don't assume anything egregious without consulting my thread partner first. <3
  • I'm okay with archiving threads early and making OOC assumptions about how a thread went down!
    • I would rather nnnnot gravedig threads unless it is essential to both of us involved that we get a conclusive, concrete finish.
    • generally speaking, if our thread dies, I won't press for it to be revived — especially if I was the last to post ;x

icon/title trivia


(this needs to be updated but Show)

OOC

Icons

Titles

  • High Priestess
    • I uhhhh idk, I needed something for the title prize part of Wordtober lmao. Maybe Jojo inspired? Or tarot? Who knows!
    • Hover — "the sky tonight is so black and blue and beautiful"
      • Lyrics from Sun Kil Moon's Admiral Fell Promises, the titular song from that album. SKM has provided so much good music, thread titles, and inspiration for me over the years; highly, highly recommend them. You'll see them again further down.
  • Usurpation of Fire
    • A nod to Dark Souls 3, one of my new favorite games. Jesus Christ have I gotten mad playing this. I love the bosses and the world, though!!
    • Hover — "and so it is, that ash seeketh embers."
      • The final narration for one of the endings of the game.
  • ⤜Honorable Ashen→ (temporary)


Fennore

Icons

  • A thurisaz, the shape of the brand on Fen's ribcage. She hates it!!
  • A prize for a winning entry in NC's first sub-territory contest.

Titles

  • Moonwraith
    • This was Fennore's custom rank when NC first formed as a loner band, and it's stuck as her title ever since.
    • Hover — "i can still hear you when you dream"
      • Lyrics from Smashing Pumpkins' Drown. I found this song on one of my uncle's mixtapes yeaaars and years ago and I liked it; it seemed to fit Fen pretty well.
  • Twilight Princess
    • A nod to my favorite Legend of Zelda game of the same name. I have beat it prrrobably four or five times by now.
    • Hover — "and the stars were in her hair, the moon in her eyes"
      • Inspired by the rendition of Lothlórien as performed in The Lord of the Rings musical. Fennore takes notes out of Galadriel's book, whom the song is about.
  • Brave New World (temporary)
    • This was a temp title for submitting at least three potential areas for the NC sub-territory contest.
    • Not gonna lie, I really loved this title haha. The temp title prize for NC's SSWM Thread Challenges contest in 2021 was directly inspired and made in the image of it because I loved it so much.
  • Songs from the Wood (defunct)
    • FUN FACT: this was the very first title I ever coded in HTML, and it sucked. The color fade, the font, everything sucked. I yeeted it soon after. Only OGs will remember.
    • Taken from the Jethro Tull song of the same name. Heavy NC vibes, for sure.
    • Hover — "galliards and lute songs served in chilling ale"
      • Lyrics from the song that seemed pretty ethereal and conjure a very particular, folky feeling.
    • In hindsight, it's not a song that fits Fennore very well so much as it does New Caledonia, so see ya later, stinky!

Alejandra

Icons

  • A rosary signifying Aly's faith in the Abrahamic God.

Titles

  • The Way Out is Through
    • From the Nine Inch Nails song of the same name. Alejandra has gone through a LOT since being a slave in Salsola, her stint in Del Cenere, and everything awful thereafter.
    • Hover — "all i've undergone, i will keep on"
      • Lyrics from the song. As easy as it would be for her to just give up, Aly presses forward regardless, painful as it so often is.
  • Flowers of Naïveté (defunct)
    • FUN FACT: this was the very second title I ever coded in HTML, and it also sucked. It was hard as hell to read against the forum background, so it got a major facelift a few short months later.
    • Also taken from a NIN song: I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally.
    • Hover — "buried in a layer of frost"
      • Once outgoing and trusting, Salsola twisted Alejandra into a terrified, subservient creature, burying her childlike innocence underneath a concrete slab.



Phoenix

Icons

  • The Sound of Fury Obtained via game points from Mistfell Vale.
    • Nick was sorted into the House Hawkesond, whom are known for being spontaneous, emotional, and spirited.

Titles

  • Ride 'Em, Cowboy!
    • A prize title from winning SoSuWriMo in 2020.
    • He's a hot cowboy, not much to say here.
    • Hover — "don't look back or you'll miss it"
      • Nick's a very live-for-the-moment kind of guy, which explains why he has six children that he never intended to stick around for.

Khalifa

Titles

  • ☥ Hustle Bones ☥
    • A song by Death Grips. Khali is a cutthroat, hustlin' kinda guy, and I listened to a lot of Death Grips writing for him so, y'know.
    • Hovers — "it's the Year of the Snitch" | "and I'm coming for your Crown"
      • The first pays homage to the Death Grips album of the same name. It's about as chaotic and grating as Khali is.
      • The second plays into Khali's desire to surpass his father and bring honor to his family name.



Viridian

Icons

Titles

  • Guillotine
    • Haha wow another Death Grips song. Can you tell I was going through a phase?
    • Hover — "and they all fall down"
      • Lyrics from the above. Viri has a penchant for proving others wrong while proving to be a Weapon of Mass Destruction in the process.
  • The Hills Have Eyes
    • A prize title from winning SoSuWriMo in 2022.
    • Inspired by a song by The Weeknd.
    • Hover — "so hide your lies, hide your lies"
      • Lyrics from above. FUN FACT: I was very tempted to instead have it say "when I'm @^$#ed up, that's the real me" but it was a little on-the-nose given Viri's substance (ab)use.

Amon

Icons

  • Lost but Not Forgotten An icon that only those from Rabenuhr can claim.
    • The hover is for escapee slaves; Amon didn't intend to escape, but things just kind of happen sometimes, what can you do.
  • there's more than one reality Prize for a winning submission in the An Alternate Universe 2021 contest.

Titles

  • Oh, Lonely Mountain
    • A prize title from winning SoSuWriMo in 2021.
    • This one's a twofer; it's inspired by Sun Kil Moon's song, as well as the location in The Lord of the Rings. Amon's big, Amon's lonely, so it fits.
    • Hover — "among the ghosts, among the leaves"
    • FUN FACT: this was originally intended to be a title for Solomon, but I ended up dropping Solo for a bit to be tacked on as a cNPC, and it just seemed to fit Amon better, so I gave it to him instead.



Rand

Titles

  • Take in Full | The Breath of Creation
    • Rand is heavily inspired by a character in Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void, Alarak; he's the leader of the Tal'darim, who worship the god Amon (;D) and imbibe in the hallucinogenic fumes of their homeworld, terrazine: aka, The Breath of Creation.
    • Hover — "so goes the Chain of Ascension"
      • An in-game quote from Alarak.
      • The concept of Ascension is key to Tal'dirim culture; likewise, the drive to be in-control and in power is central to Rand's character, and he is willing to do just about anything to achieve this.

Marina

Icons

Titles

  • ⤜ Saturn Ascending ⤛
    • Inspired by a song by TOOL, The Grudge.
    • The song's vibe and the title hover are a nod to Salsola's very nature and how Marina barely fits the mold.
    • Hovers — "hang on or be humbled again" | "defining, confining / controlling, defining"
      • Lyrics from the song.
      • Whether she appreciates it or not, Rini walks on thin ice, and one wrong step will send her careening down into the same fate as her her mother.



Wichita

Icons

Titles

  • Tastes Like Funnel Cake (temporary)

Ark

Icons

Titles

  • Holy ⸸ Diver
    • Reference to the song by Dio. Upside down cross is for extra edge.
    • Hover — "you've been down too long in the midnight sea" | "Bow Down"
      • Lyrics from the song that tie in with Ark's (wavering) belief in the Goddess Nín.
      • Ark fancies himself as a Warrior King and intends for everyone to think the same — whether voluntarily or by brute force.
