☁ RULES ☁

independent / highly selective / private / OC friendly / 21+ / triggering / nsfw / not spoiler free. penned by roxette. established march 2019. revamped june 2020.

● About the Writer ●

Because of my weekday fulltime schedule and parental responsibilities, I may get a bit slow at times, and more prone to lurking than doing replies. I also have another very active blog besides this one: My horror based OC , General OC , and a General Multimuse. If you think I may have forgotten a thread (it happens!), feel free to message me after a bit! ♡
I will interact with any muse, between canons and ocs, as well as multimuses.

● Age Restriction ●

This blog is strictly for muns who are 21 and over. This is a hard rule that will not change. At my age I do not feel comfortable interacting with minors. Please respect this, and do not lie about your age. If I catch you lying about your age, you will be instantly blocked. Furthermore, this blog contains very dark themes and imagery not suitable for a younger audience. This rule is for my safety and that of others, to protect myself as much as it is to protect you.

● Triggers ●

I personally do not have any triggers.
However be advised that this blog can be very triggering. Themes portrayed can and will be sometimes be dark, with mentions of, but not limited to: gore, body horror, cannibalism, murder, abuse, torture, etc…. I ASK YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER THIS BEFORE FOLLOWING. I will tag all triggers as word tw. If there’s a trigger you’d like me to tag, don’t be shy to message me! I’m only human and sometimes I forget. I do however suggest you invest in either xkit’s blacklist and/or use filter on mobile if you still wish to stay.
Additionally, please remember that I AM NOT MY MUSES AND THEY ARE NOT ME. The muns I write with are not their muses either. I do not condone the themes portrayed, nor what my muse may do or say. I’m old enough to know the difference between FICTION and REALITY, so please, keep the righteous speeches to yourself and do not harass the muns I write with either. This is MY blog. It is YOUR responsibility to be careful and responsible during your browsing. There’s enough warnings plastered upon the blog to indicate how triggering it can be and I tag everything accordingly. I’ve done my part, the rest is up to you. I’m no one’s parent and it is not my job to monitor what YOU view.
Let me remind you: if you are easily triggered or offended, THIS IS NOT THE BLOG FOR YOU.

● Formatting ●

I do prefer paras, personally. Still, I will roleplay any length: one liners, paras and maybe novellas. That being said, please give me more than a one liner if I give you a paragraph? I’ll never ask to match my lengths because I know I can get carried away, but I do expect minimum effort from my partners.
I will most definitely use fancy formatting and icons in my replies. It does not mean you have to do the same. I will roleplay with people who use any sort of formatting, as well as anyone who will or won't use icons. I’m looking for good writing first and foremost!

● Following && Unfollowing ●

This not a follow for follow blog. I’ll follow back if I feel our muses could have interesting interactions in some shape or form, or because I really enjoy the content of your blog and your writing, so I’ll be lurking for a bit before contacting you.
If I unfollow it is mostly for these reasons: you’ve been inactive for more than a month (but if I see you’re active again I’ll refollow!); no post cutting; you’ve been participating in spreading drama/hate.
If I follow you and after a good 24 hours of activity you haven’t followed back, I’ll take it you’re just not interested in interacting so I’ll unfollow in order to keep a clean dash. It’s nothing personal! c:
In that same vein, if you unfollow me (and I'm totally okay with that, I will never ask you why or anything of the sort. Your space is your space and I respect that) -- if you unfollow, please soft block me. I'm not a number to keep your followers count high. I only keep following mutuals. So please, it would be much appreciated.

● Hate, Drama && Callouts ●

I will not tolerate hate of any kind on my dash. Anyone partaking in sending hate, slandering someone in any shape or form, and perpetuating drama, will be instantly blocked. This also applies to anyone creating and/or reblogging callout posts (unless absolutely necessary, but I will not reblog them myself).
If I see you vague on the dash about another user (it’s usually fairly obvious), I will soft block you, even hard block depending on the severity. If you are incapable of settling your differences with another in private that you need to attract their attention in public and with it, clearly try to get others involved, it tells me your level of maturity is just not on par with what I’m looking for in a mutual and writing partner.
Please understand this is where I come to relax and have fun. What I have on my dash is my business alone and I have a right to have a clean dash if I want to. There’s enough drama and negativity in real life, this is not the place I want to see any of it.

● Ships && Smut ●

I’m very opened to ships as this blog is multiship. In fact, I love them! That being said, I retain the right to be selective on who I ship them with. I’m always looking for chemistry first. But don’t feel intimidated by that! Sometimes the spark happens at the least expected moments!
All ships take place in separate universes unless all parties have agreed to something more. Therefore, if my muse gets with another, they are not cheating on yours because they have either never met, or are not together in that specific verse.
All smut will be tagged accordingly as nsfw but not put under read more unless my partner requests it. Tumblr tends to really screw up replies put under read mores (I can’t even cut the posts right), which is why I don't like doing it. But if my partner wants that, I will have no problems doing it.
I’m 500% okay with smut. I love writing it. But I will only roleplay it with muns who, again, are strictly 21+. I know the law says 18, but again please respect this rule as I do not feel comfortable otherwise.

● Graphics && Headcanons ●

Most graphics and icons have been made by me unless stated otherwise and are not for the taking.
Icon Borders and psd: unprocione
Pinned, dash icon, mobile: nassycomms
Headcanons are not for the taking and if I find out you've been copying/taking from me, you'll be hard blocked.

● Final Word ●

I know I may sound harsh with some of these, but I’m literally just a shy kiwi and chances are I’m more scared of you than you are of me. c; Thank you for reading through this 500 pages novel (SORRY ;_; ) and remember that I love you and you deserve the best!

● CASSIE CAGE ●

On the surface, you’ve inherited your father’s wits and sharp tongue, his confidence and sass, and your mother’s good looks. On the inside, you’re riddled with insecurity: you never felt capable of coming close to your parents legacy, the legendary Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage.You try so hard, but it never seems enough. Then you’ve had to face Shinnok and your whole world both crumbled and opened up. You don’t need your parents approval to move forward: you’re your own person, with your own aspirations and dreams, your own goals. You’ve proven yourself a great leader, promoted from Sergeant to Commander – but all is not what it seems.You fear the Dark God’s return. You don’t like to talk about it and when you do, you butter the toast, not for them, but for yourself, because it brings with it nightmares and phobias of failure and losing all you love and care for. It drives you as much as it hinders you – but you trudge on. You make due, hide it well, and you do a damn good job of it.

● Verses ●

MAIN VERSE
Set during and after the events of Mortal Kombat 11 You’ve just been promoted to Commander when Kronika, a Titan holding the Hourglass, jams and merges the timelines for her own benefit. Your whole world is shaken and broken: your mother died this morning to save you and your team, yet here she is, sporting your age from almost thirty years ago. Once Kronika is defeated, you’re left wondering and wandering with only purpose is to work work work, not realizing you’re becoming more and more like your mother once was. You miss her. It’s increasingly difficult to live without her. She was your pillar the last couple of years, and now she’s gone…
HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS
Revenant Verse. Set after the events of Mortal Kombat X, during and after Mortal Kombat 11. You’re dead. You fought valiantly but could not defeat Shinnok, and now you’re under his undivided control. All that is hatred, all those rotten emotions have gathered to the surface and smothered all the good from you. You’re a shell of your former self. And you will destroy Earthrealm – and most importantly, Raiden. This is his fault you’re dead, his fault you feel no joy but in the suffering of others, his fault you’re a monster.

● RAIDEN ●

You are tasked with protecting Earthrealm, its inhabitants, and Earthrealm’s Jinsei alongside Fujin, God of Wind. But your task is difficult and at times you grow weary, though always confident in success. The Elder Gods are cryptic and give you little answers – it frustrates you. But you carry on, believe in them because what else is there? Yet it’s so tempting, sometimes, to let go….

● Verses ●

MAIN VERSE
Set during and after Mortal Kombat 11. You’ve traveled from the latest tournament to a future unknown, broken by your old enemy Kronika. Now you struggle to restore balance to the realms. You hear of your future self’s dark path and it terrifies you – but you alone are in charge of your destiny.
THE HUMAN COMPLEX
Set after Mortal Kombat 11. Human Verse. You have passed down the mantle of Protector of Earthrealm to Liu Kang, now God of Fire and Thunder. In return, you have given up godhood and returned to a mortal life. But you are lost. Your memories of old have yet to return, sometimes in flashes – and even if your memories returned completely, the world has moved on since. So you struggle within your mortal shell, wandering aimlessly. You’ve been offered many shelters – but where will you go?
THE DARKNESS THAT BE
Set between the events of Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11. Dark Raiden verse. You are not angry: you are enraged. Exhausted of attempt after attempt to destroy or conquer Earthrealm, you’ve taken matters into your own hands once Shinnok was defeated by Cassandra Cage. You gave in using Shinnok’s Amulet. It’s changed you. Made you into a ruthless tyrant against all other realms, including Kotal Kahn’s Outworld despite the peace treaty. You would rather invade and take down other realms before they attack Earthrealm. You’ll do anything to protect it. Anything. Your limits have long been breached.
THE LEGACY
Set during the events of Mortal Kombat Legacy. Faceclaim: Tadanobu Asano. Earthrealm is in danger, as the fast approaching Mortal Kombat Tournament is at hand. You arrive on Earth in search of your champions, but a mishap -- perhaps dark magic infused -- lands you into the backyard of a suspicious mental hospital. Depleted of most of your powers, the staff refuse to believe your story of godhood and an invasion upon Earth -- many times they subdue you, lobotomize you, but you do not give up. You must escape before it's too late. You will escape.

● FUJIN ●

You are a demi-god, God of Wind. You are tasked with protecting Earthrealm, its inhabitants, and Earthrealm’s Jinsei alongside your brother Raiden, Thunder God. You are more in tune with mortals than your brother, who sometimes faults you for it. When Kronika brings an offer for you to join her, you are cast into The Void after refusing to aid her. However, with her defeat, The Void is unlocked and you are set free once more.

● Verses ●

MAIN VERSE
Set during and after Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath. Frost and Cetrion were sent to kill you by Kronika, but you escaped, opening the door for the Titan to attempt a deal with you. When you refuse, you are sent into The Void alongside Nightwolf and Shang Tsung. Upon Kronika's defeat, the crown is destroyed, and you are freed from your prison. Without the crown however, you are aware time cannot be restarted properly by Lord Liu Kang. You set out to fix the timeline proper.
I AM THE BOTTOMLESS PIT. I AM THE TREE OF LIFE
Dark Fujin Verse.
When you are thrown into the Soulnado, everything goes quiet. A silence that is so heavy your heart feels like it’s about to burst and mash into your belly. One moment you are fighting alongside your brother and foes turned allies to form a deadly alliance against Onaga the Dragon King – the next, you cannot see, yet you see it all. The Universe from beginning to the end, the Creation and the End, the Explosion and the Implosion. You see things you were not meant to see, too many, as you realize the quiet has become a cacophony of voices crying, screaming, shrieking – you feel their tears on your skin, their breath in your mouth, and you’re crying too, uncontrollably – then they begin to laugh, and you’re laughing with them – when they scream, you scream along. You’ve long lost touch of time. Or sense. Your mind is churning and just as you think you may have found a way out of this nightmare, you get a glimpse, a mere blink: The One Being.
You do not remember finding your way out. Days go by before you awaken again at the Sky Temple. The Dragon King has been pushed back. The realms are safe for now. You neither cry, laugh, or scream. You feel no relief. You feel – full, like something has taken residence inside your body, replaced your bones and re-arranged your organs.
When you find your brother, he’s already dead. When you find your brother, his blood is already dripping from your kusanagi – oh! he made a mess. All over. Red. So much red.
And you cry.
Then you laugh.
Then you scream.

● HANZO HASASHI ●

You have lived, died, and lived again. Haunted by the gruesome murder of your clan, wife and son, your nights are short, and your pain is grand. Once a hellspawn revenant, you have been given a chance to atone for your sins once more. Age has wised you – your need for vengeance waning away in place of peace of mind and forgiveness. But there is always a dark presence at the back of your mind, a stinger scratching at the walls, poking and proding, wanting out. The Scorpion is still very much present, and you fight every day to keep him at bay lest you be consumed by your rage all over again.

● Verses ●

MAIN VERSE
Takes place during the events of Mortal Kombat 11. Your clan thrives, not by blood, but by heart. The Fire Gardens have been restored, as has your pride and will. Kronika has taken to wrap your younger self into her ploy to restore time, but you have grown well beyond your rage. You have let it go, and now you are among the protectors of Earthrealm alongside Raiden, the Lin Kuei, and the Special Forces. Together, you will take down Kronika.
SASORI
Any verse related to the modern category. Usually he is not a Grandmaster in this verse but a regular citizen -- though he may still be very adept in martial arts. Harumi and Satoshi will already be dead in these verses. Tw for alcoholism and depression.

● SHINNOK ●

One day, you were bored with the Elder God's agenda. To be seated among them, watching, getting pathetic offerings.... it itches inside, this need for more. You are and Elder God: you deserve more than what those pathetic Demi Gods have to offer. You want more. You want realms. You want devotion. You want to indulge in sin -- so you do. And the Elder Gods do not take so lightly. You cause too much damage, ruin their 'reputation' in the eyes of their devotees. So you're cast out. Emprisonned before you cause more damage than you already have.Until your most fervant follower, Quan Chi, releases you from the clutches of the amulet you were imprisoned into. Now you are free, and you will take what is rightfully yours to claim.
