guidelines

rule 001.

  21+ only.    All characters and players must be 21+ to interact with Scarecrow. I will not roleplay with minors. I prefer to write dark/mature themes and play a neutral evil character.

rule 002.

  zero tolerance for bullshit.    No transphobia, homophobia, racism, drama, etc. Keep IC and OOC seperate.

rule 003.

  no godmodding or metagaming    This is a standard rule. I expect some common sense and fairness.

rule 004.

  lore bending ok    Lore bending is fine. I kind of fused D&D and MTG with FFXIV here. I'll write with any character regardless of lore, given that it doesn't break immersion or Scarecrow can tolerate them. 😁

  no hard limits, death ok.    Your character is allowed to hurt or attempt to kill Scarecrow, but I would like to know ahead of time. Dismemberment or disfigurement will require permission, but we can talk about it. Talk to me about your hard limits, please.

† lore


Noctis, the Raven Queen (intersex, they/them)

Warning: Disturbing content.The Raven Queen - "The Kiss of Death" Scarecrow had a complicated history with a non-binary Keeper Miqo'te named Noctis, whom he met during his travels about a century ago. Noctis was a matriarch of a Black Shroud clan and a witch who later ascended into godhood, becoming the Raven Queen. Noctis, betrayed by Crow's unfaithfulness, kills him with a kiss of death, which sends him into a maddening frenzy, violently choking on blood until he sucumbed to death. Noctis reanimated him as an undying chimera as punishment, weaving necromancy like a thread through his flesh so that he will never know an end to his pain and suffering. They enthralled him and sewed his lips shut. He was impaled on a cross in a sacred graveyard deep within the forbidden forests, serving as the resting grounds for the Scarecrow, where flocks of ravens and crows congregated to feast upon the eternal chimera.

The Shroud Witch - "The Contractor" His punishment lasted nearly a century before his god's power began to wane, slowly giving the ghoul back his free will. However, he lacked the strength to free himself from his impalement. It was during this time that he encountered another Keeper, a Miqo'te who was different, yet strangely familiar and covered in raven feathers. Scarecrow immediately thought he was looking at a reincarnation of Noctis, but the stranger revealed himself to be Wren'ir, a Shroud Witch from the Black Shroud.Wren'ir stated that he was looking for someone of Scarecrow's description. The witch offered his assistance, but at a steep price: a bound contract between them sealed by blood. Until the contract was deemed voidβ€”either through Scarecrow's final death or the sudden departure of Wren'irβ€”Scarecrow would follow and protect his contractor.Unable to speak for himself because of his sewn mouth, Crow reluctantly accepted the contract. Its seal was burned onto his chest, identical to Wren'ir. After being freed from the cross, he ripped the stitches and immediately choked on dust. For the first time in a century, Scarecrow spoke. His voice was hoarse and unusually deep due to his vocal cords drying up over the past century."I am your weapon to wield," he croaked as he knelt before Wren'ir, bowing his head as his teeth ground against each other. His cold green eyes locked with the mischievous golden eyes of the Shroud Witch as he finished his vow: "For out of the ground we were taken, for the dust we are... and to the dust we shall return."

  PLANESWALKER, GOLGARI AGENT

The elves, zombies, insects, and undead-plant hybrids of the Golgari are like one massive, growing, feeding organism, collectively spreading across the plane wherever it can fit. The Golgari provide a necessary service in Ravnica, in that they dispose of the carcasses that civilization leaves behind, and mysteriously they also provide sustenance for the forgotten and the needy. They are the scavengers and decomposers at the fringes of the food chain, but yearn to be the predator at the top.

† i can easily kill you...


Scarecrow quickly reached out to grab at the Keeper's throat harshly as he slams the smaller male up against a wall, watching the feline struggle and grasp at his tight grip. "I can easily kill you and end this contract." He threatens with a crooked grin, contorting his grotesque features in the dark. "Sorry, kitten. It seems like you overlooked this loophole in the contract terms."
