stars, hide fire

01. introduction hi! this is a private & slow writing blog for NIGHTSISTER MERRIN, of star wars jedi: fallen order and survivor.
02. disclaimer no affiliations. this blog is intended for roleplay purposes only. all headcanons, icons and graphics have been carefully curated and original content is clearly denoted and not for public use.
03. interactions and following this blog is selective and private. interactions will be limited to mutuals only unless otherwise stated. mutuals are free to interact in any way at any time. i often like mutuals' posts out of appreciation and will do so with gay abandon. i rarely post starter calls due to some overactive social anxiety, so please hmu if you'd like to plot but be prepared to deal with my singular braincell.
basic rp etiquette and respect required, please refrain from interactions if you are under 18.

04. shipping love exploring relationships of all kinds. chemistry + some minimal discussion of the dynamic required. nsfw rare.
05. writing and formatting i write in third-person limited, with a preference for present-tense verbs. i will not write with first- or second- person narrative styles. i value both one-liners and longer, in depth threads, generally finding a comfortable norm in one-para replies. not particularly finicky about formatting; my go to is small text, but please let me now if any formatting is a problem for you. please cut your posts. only uses beta editor.

abilities .
magick: the magick of the nightsisters of dathomir, characterised by emerald fire. her magick is extraordinarily strong, and though using it for destructive purposes is instinctive to her, she becomes more confident in healing and creating. increasingly fuelled less by her connection to dathomir and more by her connection to herself, at times of uncertainty her abilities can waver.
dagger/spear: her weapon of choice, forged with the magick of dathomir. due to this, it critically repels lightsaber blows, and fighting with it feels like an extension of her powers.
