FORMATTING. i prefer to use small/small sub text and rp icons/gif icons. the ariana gifs often come from HERE, HERE, or HERE, post breaks can be found HERE, border silhouettes/psd come from HERE. i just put them all together myself for the finished product. please don’t steal them.
REPLY TIME + DROPPING THREADS. i’m a roleplayer who may take 10000 years to respond, or respond in 10 seconds. if i’m taking years to respond bc i’m being trash, just send me a message after a few days, but please DON’T rush me! life gets hectic especially with school and family. if i lose muse for a thread, i might drop it. usually i won’t say anything because i’m too scared lol. it’s nothing against you or your writing, but i’m always up for staring a NEW one!! that being said, i’m ditch friendly. if you lose muse, you don’t need to let me know. we can always start something new!

main / modern. i stole from the dead. * YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS VERSE UNLESS YOU REQUEST A DIFFERENT ONE. : in this verse, desdemona lives in a cute little apartment in downtown los angeles. she makes a living by being a paranormal investigaor, offering her services in being a medium and communicating with the dead. she often streams her investigations on twitch or even streams herself playing video games / having chats with her subscribers.
star wars. (prequels) i will never relinquish. i haven't fleshed out all of the details quite yet, but i'd like desdemona to be able to communicate, sense, see, possibly conjure? force ghosts. as such, she often attends jedi council meetings and aids them in their plans or missions. sometimes she is asked to tag along and help should she be needed.
the walking dead / zombie apocalypse. we survive in wretched of times.* when the zombie apocalypse hit, desdemona was far away from her mother and brother. determined to see if they are still alive and in need of help, she travels in search of them & makes a long trek (mostly by foot) to louisiana.
victorian. i need to know where your loyalties lie. in this verse, desdemona is stuck under the rule of her strict father. ideally, i'd like to have lots of forbidden relationships in this verse kgdgj. everyone around knows des is the daughter of a religious clergyman, expects her to be good just like her father is. little does everyone know, she leads a much more free life than one expects ; sneaking out under the moonlight behind her father's back.
demonic possession. a sacrilege conceived in robed black. during one of her investigations, things take a turn for the worst and the demon once wreaking havoc upon an innocent family has infested desdemona's body like some sort of parasite. she tries to continue her life normally despite this, but finds trouble when she's investigating houses and buildings for hauntings and only seems to make things worse...
famous / lead singer of bodyrot. screaming in silence to anyone. after forming a metalcore band with her friends in high school, they never expected to make it as big as they have. known for being one of the most popular female-fronted bands in the scene, BODYROT has toured all around the world and proved that females can succeed ande exceed in the metal scene.
faceclaim: courtney laplante
dead by daylight. i could live with the guilt if you call this living. once a paranormal investigator, taken by the hands of the Entity one morning on one of her hikes through the woods when she stumbled upon a strange and abandoned house. she doesn't remember much of what happened after she entered the house. only darkness creeping up, and then consuming, and then ... nothing except eternal hell. a stubborn survivor, excels in outrunning, outsmarting, and outlasting.
stranger things. did it leave you paralyzed? the new girl in hawkins, indiana. after her parents' messy divorce, her mother decided it was time for her and her children to relocate somewhere quiter. clearly, her wishes were too good to be true. in hawkins, desdemona is commonly referred to as, ' ghost girl ' from the rumors of her abilities. she's consistently ridiculed and called crazy. when she's not working at the family video store, you can find her hanging around robin buckley and steve harrington.
** desdemona has a special connection to the upside down and the beings that roam there & outside. she can sense when they're around and often communicate with them in ways that normal people can't.
