WITCH AU.

shiro gains the white streak in his hair at a young age. it’s a space witch thing; it’s said they’re touched by stardust.

over time, shiro’s hair becomes all white - this isn’t something that happens to all space witches - and it happens more rapidly as he regains touch with his magic.

in his wolf form, shiro undergoes the same changes. he begins with a black coat of fur with a distinct white marking on his forehead and, over time, his fur becomes fully white.

once he’s reconnected with his magic again, at night one can sometimes see soft glimmers of light in his hair / fur, bearing a resemblance to stars in the sky.

rather than wolfman creatures, werewolves are simply large werewolves when transformed. by large, i mean a bit bigger than a full grown tiger. with head fully raised, they can stand the same height as some humans.

during the full moon, werewolves lose themselves and become aggressive beasts.

due to his being a space witch, shiro has a connection to the moon. because of this, he can fight against his curse to not completely lose himself to the werewolf mind for the night. it’s difficult, given how his magic is suppressed, but it becomes easier after months and months of practice.

dox is the one who suggests that he try to fight because of his nature as a space witch. shiro didn’t even think about it.

werewolves can shift as they please except, of course, on the full moon when they’re forced into wolf form.

shifting is a painful experience in the beginning, but one grows used to it the more it’s done.

shiro spends the majority of his time in wolf form.

dox creates a prosthetic arm for shiro, made from plants, bones, and magic. it is rather off-putting too look at, particularly as glimpses of bone can be caught now and then, most often in the fingers. the arm changes form with him when he shifts.

some of the space witch specific abilities shiro is capable of are:

hearing the universe. it’s a difficult thing to explain, but essentially he can gather positions of planetary bodies, etc. and have some degree of… not future sight, but an idea of possible future happenings (this is me taking inspiration from the ideas of astrology)

moving himself from one area in the universe to another, aka teleportation. this begins small but if worked on, he could theoretically travel as far as other planets.

some degree of gravity control??? ability wip.

able to breathe in the vacuum???

i’m still working on these lmao

grimesucker‌.

a TILTED grin cracks across his expression , the mender looking ALL-TOO SMUG as he reminisces a GOOD NIGHT ; it’s not OFTEN that he indulges in booze , but it’d been a GOOD BOTTLE & GOOD COMPANY—

slinging on his jacket , adjusting the collar & smoothing the fabric over weapon straps , dox peeks back towards fifteen with a raised brow—kettle , meet pot .

                                                        “ sure am . i’m ABOVE house rules.                                                                        —wanna come along ?”

  shiro MATCHES the raised brow with one of his own, though his expression weakens some when the offer comes for him to join. he WAS just going to sit up and try to find something to watch or reread those old astronomy books for the hundredth time, but... going out sounds better. more of a DISTRACTION from the thoughts keeping him awake.

     “ yeah. ”

a nod, a quick pat to ensure his knife is still strapped into place, and he hurries to the door. only THEN does he seem to hesitate.

     “ ...where are we going at this time of night, exactly? ”

❛ I never thought about how important the sky was until I didn’t have one. ❜

❛ Dreams are like that: they go in and out of memories and scenes, but they’re never real. They’re never real, and I hate them because they aren’t. ❜

❛ Power isn’t control at all — power is strength, and giving that strength to others. ❜

❛ A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger. ❜

❛ A leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own. ❜

❛ In the end, we are alone. ❜

❛ It is like a piece of my soul is lost, empty. ❜

❛ If my life on Earth must end, let it end with a promise. Let it end with hope. ❜

❛ Sorry? Sorry isn’t enough. ❜

❛ Every single thing I ever loved is beyond my reach now. Everything I ever wanted. Everything I ever was. ❜

❛ Will you stay with me? ❜

❛ A leader doesn’t make pawns - he makes people. ❜

❛ Do you hear that? The pulse of life from your heart, the slow in-and-out from your lungs? Even when you are silent, even when you block out all noise, your body is still a cacophony of life. Mine is not. ❜

❛ It is the silence that drives me mad. The silence that drives the nightmares to me. ❜

❛ There is nothing between us but rain. There is nothing between us at all. ❜

❛ I like a little chaos. ❜

❛ I will never, never be the same. ❜

❛ I quit thinking. ❜

❛ You must dedicate your whole life to this. ❜

❛ You can never show weakness in front of them: you are their strength. ❜

❛ You can never let them see you in despair: you are their hope. ❜

❛ What if I am dead? How can someone without a beating heart, without breathing lungs live like I do? I must be dead. ❜

❛ I want to scream. I want to throw open my eyes wake up and not be alone with myself anymore, but I can’t. I can’t. ❜

❛ I will spend all of eternity trapped in my dead body. I will be locked within myself forever. ❜

❛ Should we wait? ❜

❛ Just give me a chance! ❜

❛ It’s bad, being frozen, but it’s better than waking up alone. ❜

❛ Everyone has secrets and if you keep asking, you’ll see how far I’m willing to go to keep mine. ❜

❛ Memories always kill nightmares. ❜

❛ I’m going to find a way to fix you. ❜

❛ I am not broken. ❜

❛ People are supposed to be like that: obedient, calm, working together. It’s us who can’t obey, can’t focus, who can’t work together, —  we’re the ones who aren’t normal. ❜

❛ What were you running from? ❜

❛ It’s not like I’ve done anything wrong! ❜

❛ I can get closer. ❜

❛ Like walking through water. Like drowning. ❜

❛ This journey… it’s long. ❜

❛ Why run? Run where? What’s the point? ❜

❛ People will survive anything for their children. ❜

❛ Does it matter if it’s a lie if it keeps us alive? ❜

❛ Old people die. It’s what they do. ❜

❛ This is… mating, it’s not love. ❜

❛ The first cause of discord is difference. ❜

❛ I’m not going to be the one to let her drown. ❜

❛ This is good. I want darkness. ❜

❛ Well, that did the trick. ❜

❛ I can’t do this. I can’t. It’s too much. ❜

❛ Everything is wrong here. Shattered. Broken. ❜

❛ I am surrounded by walls. I just replace one box for another. ❜

❛ What we imagine is often worse than the truth. ❜

❛ Oh, don’t worry, we’re all mad here. ❜

❛ I know I look different. But I’m just a person, like you. ❜

❛ I definitely think I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole. ❜

❛ I don’t like dreams. Sleep is too much like dying. ❜

❛ They are dreams, but I’m too out of control, I lose myself in them, and I’ve already lost too much to let them take over. ❜

me:  i should make use of all this muse i have for so many blogs & actually write today before it all disappears on me

also me:  new smite god released today and i’m in love with her so maybe i should just bury myself in video games for the rest of my life

@grimesucker​ sent:  ❛ Everyone has secrets and if you keep asking, you’ll see how far I’m willing to go to keep mine. ❜

across the universe   ☆☆   accepting.

  brought to an abrupt halt by the words, or perhaps more by the severe tone in which they’re spoken, shiro falls still and simply blinks at dox, eyes wide. while he’s NO STRANGER to dox’s more harsh tones of voice, it’s not often that they’re directed at HIM. typically, dox is talking to some other slumrat in this manner, whether they’re deserving of it or not, so whenever it does come ‘round to focus on him... shiro is startled every time.

it isn’t as though he’d been egging the man on or anything, either. yes, he may have been asking questions, but they had been INNOCENT  ---  mere efforts to understand dox better  ---  and not remotely forceful. ironically, these are usually the things that have made the mender snap at him in the past, too, although there have been times where the boy had been more insistent.

     “ i’m not trying to... ”  trailing off, shiro blinks again, hesitates, then lowers his gaze. he GETS that everyone has secrets. he GETS that people in the undercity have more than people on med-lev. he GETS that they’re willing to go farther to protect them. what he DOESN’T GET is why, even when they’ve practically become family, dox is so ABSOLUTELY ADAMANT to not share so many things with him.

for a moment, shiro remains as he is, but soon exhales a low breath. a step is taken back to signify him backing down from the confrontation  ( one that he didn’t want started in the first place )  and, turning away, he shakes his head.

     “ sorry. i wasn’t trying to upset you. ”

     “ right. ”  a decisive nod, and a DETERMINED gaze is turned to rest on sara. body readying on instinct, his arms raising to chest level, hands already curled into fists  ---  his primary weapons, though he does have a pistol strapped to his thigh for emergency scenarios. shiro gestures with his head in the direction of their opponents, who lie on the OTHER SIDE of the cover they’ve taken, and raises his eyebrows slightly.  “ on three? ”
