NOBODY KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN YOUR DEMONS
SO WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE, IT'S NOW OR NEVER!
Hai! Roe-Rue 25↑ it/its/itself only. My friends call me Swub. I'm a public healthcare student and kind and normal poster. Lets play touys.
✱ What's this blog? This is a semi-selective and sporadically active HSR-focused (fooor now... with other verses and starving for more, and cross-over friendly!) original character roleplay blog. Fairweather (I call him Merry) is my beloved character of 6-something years, and I want nothing more than for you to hit him over the head until he stops moving. Themes of violence and comedy are frequent here, I like to play and laugh.
✱ DNI. 18+ only, please! I don't mess with anyone who writes pedophilia, incest, rape, homophobic, anti-trans, or racist content. And don't stick me with the pro- or anti- ship label gun! I hate vagueblogging as well, just can't stand it. Otherwise, I'm pretty chill 👍
If I've followed you, I've read your guidelines and understand them! I tend to reach out if there's something I don't.
✱ Communication. ㅤUse tone indicators when joking with me. Feel free to ask me for indicators as well, I know OOCly I can be confusing. I like to think I’m friendly?!
This message was brought to you by Spectrum internet and tv packages.
I also prefer for direct communication and boundaries to be set. But I'm not gonna make demands of any of my partners... but I can't fix anything if I don't know about it! YKWIM!!
Additional point: please take your time IC and OOC replying to me! Never apologize for not getting back to me! IDGAF!!!!!! We have lives!
✱ Formatting/Accessability. I use TTS to read large swatches of text. I won't be able to read 𝕤𝓹ⓔ匚ιＡⓛ && 𝔠卄ᵃ尺𝕒𝕔t𝐄尺Ş, please don't use them in the body of your replies to me! Aside, I don’t mind however you like to format your replies, or the lack there-of!
I personally have been dabbling with a light amount of formatting (like using colors) and try to stray away from anything that's hard to read on dash/blog.
I also use links to images/references I'm making in threads for ease of understanding.
✱ Tagging. I use #cw word for tagging, and tag urls plainly. I try to keep tally on what needs to be tagged for my partners, but will probably get worried and tag lots-and-lots.
For me, tag anything with sexual intent behind it. Please, let me be able to choose what I see and when I want to see it.
Don’t feel obligated to explain yourself to me if you want to request something tagged. Your heart is yours, I’m random guy number 930 on the rapidly declining microblog site.
✱ Arts and credits. Most of the art you see here was made by me or by my friends, and will all be credited in the #credits tab of this carrd. When I'm rich and famous, this guy will be getting commissions of him as well.
You can make me rich and famous, by splitting your fortune with me by clicking this link.
And I love art! I love talking about art. I have cabinets full of resources I'm eager to share as well! ^_^! I'm learning to 3D model and animate to make icons of Merrys various verses. Get scared for me.
✱ Softblock/hardblock. Please hard block instead of soft blocking. No, you don’t have to explain to me. No, I won’t take it personally. No, I won’t assume the worst of you. We will be ships passing in the night, you and I.
If I've hardblocked you on only one account in the past, it's because mutual was broken/didn't happen and am just reminding myself not to interact. No bad feelings attached. Feel free to follow here to your fancy.
If you're blocked on all accounts, that is a Real Block, and you wouldn't be seeing this.
✱ Shipping. Shipping is hard for me as-is, and impossible without communication. I'm open with chemistry and interest. Be direct with me, the worse I can do is say no, but you'll very likely get a "let's talk about it". Flings and sex-havings are fine too, again just... talk to me LOL.
✱ Content you'll see. Violence, alcoholism, and struggles with mental illness are themes of Merry that come to mind. Additionally! Horror and comedy are my favourite genres. I’ll explore heavy topics, and it will always be tagged.
I can’t give a huge list of what I’ll write here, because… well, I don’t know. See DNI for what you'll never see from me. (And know I don't intend to ever write out graphic depictions of self harm.)
✱ Intricacies. If I say/do something contradictory/weird/not appropriate, please tell me! Likely, I didn't understand what I was saying had something behind it... like, today I learned the "[state] I am in you" is a sex joke ()#@#().

I also get disoriented easily, so if we're ever talking and it feels like you're talking to someone who is at the bottom of the mall fountain feel free to ask if I need course correction. ...Also with the disconnected frontal lobe (lying) unrelated to that metaphor up there, when talking I tend to use metaphors to try and explain what I'm feeling/thinking.
All in all, I really appreciate patience with my oddball-ness. I'll never ask someone to hold my hand through my issues, just to understand that Laios Dungeon Meshi is a guy I deeply relate to. Did I drop enough I Got Real Serious Autism clues yet.

Path Nihility.
Element Imaginary.
Allocentric, jocular, easy-breezy, earnest, a good dog loyal heart, downright, of upheavals, vaporescent, strong personality/weak character, Anime Boy Uwahs Your versatile friend best enjoyed on the other end of the 9-to-5 building, thirty minutes from your lunch break.
JOCULAR: Easy-breezy. Earnest. A good, dog loyal heart for his friends drowned in whatevers on the bottom self. There isn’t a charismatic bone in his body, but something like a sparking magnetic pulse to the energy sported. A someone who never runs out of conversation, until he does; in that case, welcome of comfortable silence. ...Affable?... Well, his dumb guy swag is a leader to ‘persuasiveness’ —the inherit charm of a lost critter giving paw for table scraps.
DOWNRIGHT: Won't take your horse shit, if he smells your horse shit. Disrespect in broad daylight flings him into action, both from the heart and— want for adrenaline, want for someone to thank him for a rescue. Not just the dramatics of the scallywag's life, either! Act of a somebody kicking themselves has him turning an annoyed glance. A lie he fell from the snare of, snatching rum from another patron and not from the source! The last one really gets his goat. Capitalism :/
Conversely, VOLATILE: Not entirely easy to trigger, but there comes things that ping poorly in that head of his. It'll have him acting out in a way that could label him as hypocritical; he can lash out, can inflict that frustration inward, can be profoundly neurotic. What's else? Defensive, bratty, ‘I’m the most handsomest person in the club you cannot NOT want me. You have bad taste if you don’t want me’... On the other side of that rusted coin, where he isn’t ticked off in the wrong box, see first trait!
LIKES Coconuts and cream!!!; sunbathing; smoking this fascinating new plant that smells like cat piss and does things to him psychologically for a period of time; learning, especially engineering or practical appliance.
DISLIKES Sour loser! Don't win, he'll be sooo sad; "the scolding type"; dishes that combine squishy and crunchy textures.
HOBBIES Drinking; disappearing the morning after you guys go out drinking not because he’s ghosting the bill but because he threw up on your bed and he’s embarrassed; fighting, usual loss; gambling, winning but always loses to greed.
✱ Hooks. I hate writing backstories out cohesively. So, we will not be doing that and instead taking a note from FF14 in-game RP and spitting plot bunnies.
Currently, can be found doing the odd job around Belobog. After his employer left Penacony, he just didn't have enough to make ends meet any longer
In Penacony, Fairweather did any old job he could get his hands on. The higher the ladder he climbed by doing what he was told (#GOON OF THE YEAR) the more expensive the wine he could swig became. It's surreal to him, that he'd been able to attend events as honoary Bloodhound just to go back to his room alone and survive off another cup of hotel lounge ramen.
Oovo Javer. Taxi, rideshare, your bar-friend you call when you need a lift: it doesn't matter, he's got your back. (...But watch out.)
Bar hopper. If he isn't lighting up dancefloor, he's stuck to someone's side and glued to the barfront.
Many hats, master of none. Bartender, bouncer, line cook, mechanic, street racer, firearm instructor, fishtank maintenance guy, school janitor, normal maintenance guy, hired muscle generalized... Merry has had many jobs, and likes to keep it that way.
#GOON. We need more goons. Does anyone want to hire a goon, a henchman even. If Fairweather was a protagonist it'd be the courier from Fallout: New Vegas. If you need a getaway driver, an unsuspecting fence.
Gambler...? Not anymore, since the Casinos have barred him for being an awful drunk. Though if there's a game of cards, Mahjong, or a silly little coin flip— let him in on the wager for an easy earned dollar.
✱ The Jackalope. An as of yet, unidentified parasatic entity. Merry can shoot it, stew it, or lock it in a box: it's more persistantly hot on his heels than his own shadow. What nutrients it gets from him leaves something like a disassociative fog: in it's belly is his birthname first, has chewed holes in the memories of his family, sucked down his luck, and who knows what else it's taken from him and as if it'd stop until his whole self is annihilated.Currently, there is an exorcist trying to rot the entities teeth out of him.
Voice Claims are: (main) Yuto Uemura as Kobato Kazamatsuri, from Caligula Effect 2; and AKUGETSU as Till, Alien Stage.
Face Claims are across the board: Laios, Dungeon Meshi; Renzo Shima,Blue Exorcist; Vash, Trigun Stampede; Spike Spiegel, Cowboy Bebop...

❛ VERSE : GENSHIN IMPACT
三文夢想譚 A Fontaine-born inventor who only ever made hazardous garbage and is "exiled," as he says it. Unpredictable jackass, obnoxious, hoarder... While his ideas are all half-baked, they could be good with some effort. Not doing that tho.
When he's dishonored from the Mechanic Institute, Fairweather leaves Fontaine in search of work. He finds the mora he needs in Yelan's hands, who notes his inventions should be used on battlefield rather than household. She says she'll be his benefactor, if he's up to helping her out on a few choice tasks. He only stays in her palm until his garish ways land him in a snowy, cold grasp of the Regrator himself...
STATS Species is Humanoid, element Anemo, weapon is a Claymore named "Augmented Fortune", and his Constellation is Jackalope.
I haven't played Genshin since before Fontaine was released, if any of this writing is out-of-date can you close your eyes for me pretty please.
❛ VERSE : ff14
Bottom of a Bender Gambling addict, Reaper, Slacker, Gleaner, Idiot, Banished, and most importantly: The Car Guy. The name he left at Golmore sounded something like a laugh, but these days he goes by Merry Gambit, to remind himself that gambling his life away to a voidsent didn't mean anything but an eventual literal gruesome awful death.
His epitaph will be a sloppily put together resume:
Gleaner he was for some time in the procedes of his time behind Golmore and before Ul'dah, he found the centralist country known only for hoarding knowledge in boxed lines. His knowledge serves him well, yet in wisdom there is a lacking.
And empty as it is, his hands are damn good on the finesse. as Reaper, he thinks in yellow: Gil, gil, gil! Greedy as he is, quick to spend it all before payday. Yet a worm under contracts. Moody, his willingness could flounder and die at the drop of one scolding.
Of all the adoration of the thrills, the coin; Merry is not one to ever win a gambit. Poor technique and hand when introduced to Triple Triads, and poorer still is he at Mahjong. — What's a reaper to do, than to succumb to his base and most vital desires within the glittering lights of a place so different than his home? That's what he says with whimsy in tone.
It's what the voidsent said, when it tried to reach into his chest and rip out his heart for its own.
Checking his old carrd, Merry is 259 years old and 6fm 8im, which I think translates to 6'8ft. Don't check me on the MMO lore.
A viera of many vices. He seems absolutely addicted to emptying his pockets at every casino he's ever been to, no matter what. He hasn't won a single time.
Ask him about Magitek, and you'll regret it. Or, ask him about how he lost the fight club "anything is a weapon" by bringing a rental car? Either or works.
Sometimes, the voidsent he owes quite a lot to will take the place of his Avatar. He'll ditch the mark quicker than you can watch it tear his dust cloud apart.
❛ VERSE : CALIGULA EFFECT
LOSER. Known as DOKUN-P in the Metaverse, and his domain an impressive bar crawl. While not family friendly as Muse would like, he's just an inch less likely to roll over than she. (WIP, I forget where I wrote this one out)
In reality, he's 29 and a month away from his birthday. Not having a good time about that.
His narrative foil in the Go-Home club is Bibi, a woman in mourning... she hates that he refuses to face reality. He cannot be in same room as her, unable to confront her graverock truths nor his lack of ability to comfort her.
❛ VERSE : WUTHERING WAVES
DRIFT. The rabbit who couldn't clear the moon. A Resonator brought to his power Artificially by the Fractsidus. Willing or not Merry won't disclose. What's obvious to whatever ear will heed his sob story, he'll tell how the the merging of himself and the tacet discord did produce an Echo— an Echo that thinks for itself, even. And one that's more interested in eating the rest of his spirit to assimilate him. (WIP... I think he'll be from Fantasy Italy this time, but we need to get to that chapter.)
His Tacit Mark is on his forehead, where I usually draw his scar.
Doesn't typically enter the fight with his Echo, lest it fight with him. Guns work great.
If confronted about the Fractisidus, he'll do his damned best to wriggle out of the situation! If confronted by the Fractisidus, well, even a worm will turn.
❛ VERSE : ZENLESS ZEN ZONE
POISON POP. Billy Kid exists, so we'll have to make some shit up that's left field from his character. Nothing unremarkable: just the kid of a family of Public Security, who decided dreams are more important than serving the city. As per usual, flighty with his morals as he is jobs: while he doesn't have the luck for Hollow Raiding himself, Merry does offer services to those who do: a talented mechanic. He services Bamgboos and other Hollow Raiding equipment out of his garage. Cyborgs, cybernetics, anything that has gears and could use a good oiling too, if you trust him enough.
He veeeeery nearly got through his Public Security training, but socking his sargent got him the boot instead of a ...diploma? Do cops get diplomas?
His hobby is baseball! Those batting cases don't know a day of rest from him taking out his issues on them. After all that's done, he likes to teach kids to play.
His hobby, also, is music. He formed a band with his childhood friends (Wesley, Arim, Araceli, and Mary) They're so good they were the opening band once.
Crazy high Ether Aptitude, isn't really doing anything with it. Wanders into Hollow, scratches his ass, leaves.
To be developed... Lethal Company, Tide & Seek, Yuppie Psycho, RWBY...
