RULES
RULE #1 :// OUT OF CHARACTERmy name is lyns, i'm twenty-nine years old, and i'm in the central standard timezone. i've been roleplaying on and off for an embarrassingly long amount of time, since before tumblr was the place to do it. i do work but i have a lot of flexibility with my job, so my schedule can be somewhat inconsistent. please be mindful of this and patient with me! other places you can find me on tumblr are here, here, here, here, & here.RULE #2 :// ROLEPLAY ETTIQUETTEplease refrain from godmodding if we haven't discussed it out of character. minor things like assuming my character has entered a room (within reason) are fine, but do not speak for my muse's mental state or physical actions, unless i have given permission to do so to move the thread along. i'm not unreasonable; i know the back and forth of getting to a moment or point in a thread can be hindered by trying to avoid godmodding in an extreme; just talk to me out of character if you're concerned!
i prefer to plot out interactions, if that's something my partner likes to do. alternatively, i'm more than happy to answer prompts and have those turned into threads! if i answer a prompt in a way that you feel doesn't fully fit or doesn't feel like something that can be continued, feel free to approach me to plot something, or even write something new entirely! i'm more than happy to do either!RULE #3 :// TRIGGERSmost of elenwen's story will deal in heavy content, so triggering content will appear throughout my blogs. some of the biggest will be violence, mental health topics, parental death, emotional abuse, and blood/gore any triggering content will be tagged with this format: #tw trigger.

RULE #4 :// SHIPPING & NSFWi am very particular about shipping; i prefer a good amount of ooc interactions and i like to discuss the ship thorough so i can be sure we share the same values for the muses in the ship. a ship being canon does not automatically mean i will ship with you. i am also not comfortable writing smut or sexual scenarios. it's a hard no, and any feelings of being pressured to do so will result in blocking. the same can be said for force-shipping.RULE #5 :// DEALBREAKERSi tend to abide by pretty strict standards for my dash and interactions; no godmodding, no sending hate, no racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. i have a personally preference to reblog from sources rather than straight from the dash, but i don't care much whether others do it — that being said, if you are consistently reblogging muse inspo that i post for the same character or a specific character, with zero out of character interactions, that will end in me softblocking. i prefer not to feel that i'm being used for resources rather than roleplaying. i don't enjoy drama on my dash, but i don't mind valid callout posts (such as for any of the hateful terminology listed above). on a similar note, i will begin softblocking when i see an excess of them from one source. we're all adults and we should be dealing with our problems in healthier ways by now.RULE #6 :// DISCLAIMERSthis muse is the creation of ve schwab, though i will be adding to many parts of her life and story. all graphics on this blog were made by me, using the super squad psd by clopezf.

HER HISTORY
1714 —on the edge of a forest in villion, france, a young woman pleads with the gods to save her from a loveless marriage and a life half lived... but the only god to answer is the one she was always warned to avoid.addie larue sells her soul that night, and in doing so, begins a life of anonymity and constant beginnings. the deal is this; eternity, if she desires, to do all the things she dreams of doing, free of the confines most mortals face, because no one can remember her.the deal is struck, and upon returning to her home, adeline learns exactly what she's agreed to when her mother believes her an intruder. her own father doesn't know her, and the elderly woman who warned her against the god who saved her distrusts her on sight. with no home left to her, adeline takes to the road, with nothing but a tattered wedding dress and a wooden bird to her unspoken name.THE YEARS BETWEEN —the parameters of the curse are this; adeline may live as long as she wishes, will only forfeit her soul when she chooses to be done with it, and in return she cannot be remembered. she cannot write or paint or draw, for that would leave a memorable mark. she can speak to anyone she pleases, and may get to know them for a short time, but the moment they leave the room or fall asleep, they will forget her. she cannot tell her story or even say her name, for to do so would be a reminder she exists.
and in the beginning, this made things very hard. traveling the whole of france with no name and no ability to be remembered made for a very difficult life, when even paying for a room could not guarantee a stay for long if the owner of the residence didn't even remember you were supposed to be there.over time and decades, addie adapted. stealing became her best means to find clothes or food, and when the shop keepers and waitstaff can't recall who you are once you leave the building, it becomes easy to get away with small crimes. the opposite can be said for finding a place to sleep at night; no one likes to wake up with a stranger in their home. sneaking into empty houses when the occupants were away was useful, but becoming a drunken one night stand that the alcohol washed away with easier still.and this is how adeline survived — despite the efforts of her dark stranger to make things harder. she jumped from country to country to continent, saw the variety and growth of the world. she spent centuries learning languages and exploring civilizations she never would have seen before, and she learned that being unable to create did not mean she couldn't inspire. her life gained meaning again when she realized that, while her hand could not hold the pen, she could always become a subject. she found herself reflected in galleries all over the world; in paintings, in drawings, and eventually in song.and through it all, she dealt with luc. the darkness she had invoked and named became a constant presence at her back, waiting in the wings for her life to lose worth and meaning. but the truth was, his every attempt to gain her soul only solidified her desire to continue to live. she was desperate to see what the world would continue to offer her, and even the loneliness of a life forgotten was worth the things she got to see and explore.
