Rules

Please Note that I am hella canon divergent from the dumpster fire that was the movie.

Mun.

Hi there! I’m Amber. I’m 28 years old professional artist who goes by she/her pronouns, and I run three blogs! Famebounded, Bravelybounded, and Historyfcrgot ! My energy to write online is a bit limited due to the fact that I work in the fast food industry in the middle of a pandemic, so it’s…rough. So thank you ahead of time for being patient with me.

Basics.

⩥ This is a single-muse blog for Douxie Casperan ( Archie is also present as a request only muse ). I will be more than happy to RP with both OC and Fandom Characters. Be sure to have a fully history of your OC so I know who I am working with!

⩥ That being said, please READ about my characters before interacting. I’m a tired role player who had been writing canons and original characters well over ten years. My interpretations of canons can be different from the source material because I try to expand them further, so it’s important to read.If you tell me that you will not read about my characters , then why should I show interest in yours? (Yes. I’ve had this said to me before.)If you tell me you can’t see your characters interacting with mine… then why should I bother?It’s really disheartening. For some wild reason, I’ve been experiencing this A LOT between all of my blogs, and I’ve had enough. If I am sent anything like this…I’ll probably stop showing a lot of interest and/or soft block. This is supposed to be fun, and I’m going to strive to keep it that way.

⩥ I am highly selective. If you follow, there is a chance I may either follow you back or not! Keep in mind that I am going to cut back how many blogs I follow. I rather keep a few close mutuals/friends who I have plotted with, because my writing muse is in short supply these days. I also want a clean dashboard, so that is another huge factor with me being a bit picky. I rather see posts related to your character.

⩥ I am Private. This means I am mutuals only! If I follow you and you follow me, we can roleplay! You can send in questions via ask if we don’t follow each other, but please respect I only roleplay with mutuals.

⩥ If I follow an RP Blog and they don’t follow back within two days, I will unfollow since I want to keep a clean dash. This will also to keep me from accidentally liking starter calls. The same goes for a mutual who had unfollowed me for whatever reason. Note that I won’t ever come and ask why. It’s perfectly okay and I don’t want to make a person uncomfortable.

⩥Do not REBLOG my OOC posts! If I make a post that calls for ‘LIKES’, please be courteous and don’t re-blog! It will mess up my notifications if I suddenly get ‘likes’ from blogs I don’t follow. This goes for all my occ posts unless specified otherwise!

⩥ No godmodding. Does this even have to be explained anymore? Do not control thoughts or actions unless it’s been plotted. Getting from Point A to Point B is fine. If there is a fight, I rather plot out who wins first!

⩥ Feel free to poke. If I’m being slow, feel free to ask about the status of your thread. Sometimes tumblr does not notify me, so I try to keep track with a Thread Tracker. However, don’t poke me every minute of the day. I will take longer to respond or drop the thread completely.

⩥ Don’t be afraid to drop the thread. Muses can be finicky beings, I understand that. Just let me know and maybe we can plot something new!

⩥ NSFW. I’m not afraid when it comes to blood or other dark themes! In fact, I’m pretty easy going in regards to plotting and will roll with pretty much anything. However, if anything sexual happens, then a fade to black must be placed. I just ask if you and your muse to be of age!
I will NOT, under any circumstances, write rape, pedophilia, and Incest.

⩥ I won’t sign anything related to google docs. I’m going to be bluntly honest, but I don’t care about this trend. I don’t want my own google drive to be clogged since I’m using that space to save artwork , and I could accidentally sign it with my personal email. I know there are docs that won’t clog up the drive, but still. I’m sorry, but this is a fad I can’t get behind. I understand why dash only blogs use them for rules, but yeah. Know that I’m here to RP with you as a mun, and I’ll write with any of your muses, even if I’ve never heard off ‘em. Throw them at me, I seriously don’t mind. This is your permission to do so!!

⩥Multiple Muses I RP with Multiples of the same muses unless I am exclusive with one ( I will not be exclusives with any TOA muses) ! If I am already writing with Claire Nuñez and you have her as a muse too, I’ll write with BOTH! There will be no verse clashing. I may have a main of a particular character, which means they will be higher priority.

⩥ If you are a hub blog, I sometimes cannot keep track of new side-blogs that are added! That being said, if I’m not following one of your side blogs, you can still suggest a muse from that blog in starter calls/memes/ etc if I follow your Hub’s main blog! I try to keep up with everyone, but there are times I will miss a blog.

⩥ I don’t do Drawing Requests. Here and there, you may see art that I created for myself or my friends. However, at times, people pay me to draw them something. If you want me to draw something, you can commission me when I say I’m open. I use the American dollar system over on Paypal.

Tagging.

⩥ I will tag the usual as : ‘NSFW // ‘ , ‘Gore //’, ‘Blood //’ , ‘Death //’ , ‘vomit //‘ and other usual icky things if they show up in a thread. I’ll be sure to read over your rules and tag other triggers.

⩥ I do get salty over RoTT and I understand that people don’t want to see negativity on the dash. Overall, my salt tag is ’ Amber is Salty // ’.

⩥ I will also tag things related to fandoms if you have it in your rules.

Exclusivity.

⩥ Do to the nature of keeping this blog small, I will do exclusives on this blog, but it is RARE and reserved to those I plot often with. This is only reserved for blogs that takes place in other fandoms, as I won’t do exclusives with TOA muses!

⩥I do practice MAINS, but that means I plot with you a lot and you are my go to. But I will still RP with other versions of your character. Mains get a section on relationship pages.

Shipping.

⩥ This Blog is Multi-shippable.

⩥ However, I do not ship Douxie Romantically with any of the main Tales of Arcadia kiddos ( Jim, Toby, Aja, Krel, Claire, Steve, Eli). He sees them as CHILDREN and even mentioned them as such on the show. I won’t ship him romantically with Nari either. Platonic friendships, siblingships and Douxie being a mentor? G i m m e.

⩥ I am personally not comfortable with writing Romantic Ships between men! I am not against it, but this is simply a writing preference for me and I hope you understand & respect that.

⩥ Each Ship will be under their own verse tag so there is no clashing!

⩥ Platonic friendships are the best! Especially siblingship as well! I’M WEAK FOR THOSE. Rivals, enemies! So many opportunities!

Tome

Trigger warnings include: Death and Gore

It started with a village being massacred. Fearsome Gumm-Gumms and frightening Demons worked together and forged a surprise attack on an unsuspecting village - the very village where Douxie and his family once called home. It was a staged political attack as much as an act of pleasure. A thank you card addressed to King Arthur for continuing to rage war against magical creatures.Houses were set aflame, others were taken out by giant stone weapons in one fell swoop. Douxie was a child of eight when a demonic owl beast wailed and crashed through the walls and ceiling of his home. The structure caved in, and it trapped himself and his family under rubble. Luckily, the young wizard was unharmed due to a protective shield spell that his mother casted. But once the dust settled and the spell faded away, Douxie removed himself from under a wooden beam and found the bloodied bodies of his parents being devoured by the demonic monster known as Kasmira.Traumatized and upset by the sight, his young and inexperienced magic flared heavily with his agonized emotions. Bluish magic exploded from his body, and debris started to be tossed around. A cold wind stirred from nowhere and buffeted the demonic feathers of the beast. Not having the time to deal with such a mess, Kasmira slashed the child to the side with an outstretched and sharps claws. It was a tremendous force, and Douxie blacked out once his body made a small impact crater upon what remained of a wall.Once the child crumbled into the floor like a ragdoll, the owl beast loomed over his form with fiery red hues. But...mercy was given, as for a brief moment, she had imagined herself as a defenseless child at one time. Placing a powerful and protective demonic spell upon what was left on the house, it was the boy's SANCTUARY until the battle was finished. She then joined the other monsters, and Douxie's life would be changed forever.——————————Douxie found his way to Camelot, and the magical child being forced to survive upon the streets. A dangerous place to be, as unleashed magic was banned. The weary young wizard kept his distance, and no amount of kindness by a few gracious families were enough. Douxie was fearful that if his powers were found out, he would be outed and killed.The lonely boy thought he found a friend in what he thought was a stray black cat that wandered by. However, when Douxie tried to reach down and pet the creature, his hand was scratched away by extended claws.The cat, unbeknownst to the young one, was a dragon in disguise. One that had escaped his nest from an overprotective father, and chose his own destiny - to travel the world and be a wizard or witch familiar.Archibald ( Archie for short ), was on the search for the all powerful Merlin, as the mage was his ticket to reach the realm of 'Haven's Reach'. Wizard and witch shopping was on his to-do list, but Merlin's audience was more difficult than expected.Thus, finding the attention of a smelly street pup was unwanted.Douxie sadly ducked away to tend to his scratched hand once the creature disappeared around the corner. Although, they would cross paths again in the near future. When Archie realized the harsh reality of taking the form of a black cat who couldn't 'go dragon' in the heart of a fearful kingdom.Although some enjoyed his company, others thought that his black fur was a bad omen, and wanted nothing of him. Several lousy men trapped the black furred beast, and it was quickly decided he would be fed to the hungry hunting dogs.What followed was a burst of blue magic that blindsided the shady men. Douxie lunged out from the shadows of the alleyways, and with his distraction, Archie was able to shift into his wings and spit fireballs in revenge. Both child and beast worked side by side until they retreated, and their showcase was enough to help them lose the enemy.They both moved to another part of Camelot together, and from it blossomed a lifelong friendship. Archie saw Douxie was actually a very young wizard who was in need of his assistance, and in truth, the cat needed help to navigate a harsh world after being in such a sheltered life.
——————————
But as time went by, there was a failed magical theft attempt by both the young wizard the familiar. Desperate for food and hungry, but not a coin to be found in Douxie's pouch. It was the wrong place and at the wrong time, and one of the knights on patrol happened to spot them. A child being sentenced to death for use of magic, and Douxie tried to flee for his life, fearful of what lies beneath the blade. It was an almost successful attempt, but an uneven block of stone that wasn't in line with the others inside the path tripped the young wizard. The knights approached, and Archie stood over the boy, fiercely protective.But green magic froze the knights in their path. Crafted by Merlin, the old and experienced mage who stands by King Arthur's side, stepped out of the shadows and saw potential within the young wizard ( and one who needed safety from the dangerous laws of Camelot ). When food and shelter was offered, Douxie was dazzled. The young boy knew who Merlin was - who doesn't? He felt he could trust the mage, and slipped away with him.But rather than Merlin dropping the raven haired boy off in Haven's Reach, the mage took him in as his apprentice instead. Opportunity doesn't come knocking often, and the last was Morgana.But as much as it was great to have food and a roof over his head, Douxie's imagination got the best of him. The experience he pictured was NOT what reality had in store. He scraped by his beginner's test to see where he fared in his studies... it was a lot harder than expected. Clumsy and rough around the edges - that's what Merlin told him. The long demon claw marks on the boy's arm didn't help his case, the rugged indentions having destroyed a few nerves that helped his magic communicate with the rest of his body. The work of a Styrgza.Thankfully, Merlin took notice that Douxie was Demon-Touched. Due to the darkness and the severity, the magical nerves would never heal, thus... the boy needed a conduit in order to help his magic comminicate clearly. The boy watched merlin forge a MAGICAL brace, one that only had a limited supply of runes etched onto the strange material. It felt nice upon his wrist, and it felt even nicer to COMPLETE the spells that he genuinely knew already smoothly after some practice. It was WEIRD to start out with, but one that Douxie got used to quickly.
——————————But many years after being given the brace, Douxie, now a young teenager, still had a hard time PROVING his capabilities to Merlin. He looked up to his master, and wanted to be a great wizard like him and earn his staff. But his studies felt SLOW, and the occupants of the castle thought of him as a servant rather than an apprentice. Merlin never took him out on dangerous missions or important meetings, rather, he kept him stifled within the kingdom's walls.Bored out of his mind from the chores that the elderly mage piled on him, shortcuts were attempted, which lead to clumsy and messy outcomes. He wanted to prove that his MAGIC was worth something more, even if it was to complete meager tasks quickly, but Merlin thought otherwise. Too in a rush. He wasn't ready.And he wasn't ready indeed. Several more years passed, and at sixteen, tension was so thick, one could cut it with a knife. Merlin's star pupil - Morgana, went astray, and the two fought in a massive battle. One that put Merlin in a deep slumber, and Morgana frozen in crystal that was buried in the Earth.Douxie was given a scroll of a tomb blueprint before the fight, and unware that would be the last time he would speak to his mentor for centuries. Casted out and on the run to save his and Archie's neck from the grieving king, he had to learn how to survive in a world he still felt inexperienced in.
——————————
But despite the highs and the drastic lows, Douxie persevered, living 900 years and still counting. He had grown considerably, and took the mantel of being a magical protector, while holding down one or two real life jobs in order to keep food on the table.
