001. Refrain from following & interacting with my account if you fall into any of the following categories: you are under the age of 18, you are a nsfw/lewd-centric account that is not ran by a mun i am familiar with, you are any degree of bigoted towards the lgbt or minorities, you participate heavily in discourse and drama etc. Following when any of the above applies will result in a block.
002. This account comes with a Dead Dove Do Not Eat warning due to the nature of the themes surrounding my oc. Please keep in mind you may stumble upon themes of amputation / loss of limbs, death, violence, gore, body horror, potential nsfw (no outright smut on tl), discussion of trauma, mental health & abuse of children, adults and substances (booze & nicotone; no hard drugs). Any public roleplays who depict these things in a more intensive way will be appropriately tagged. If you do not wish for any of our roleplays to contain any of these themes, do let me know ahead of time.
003. Usual rp etiquette applies. You can engage in unprompted fight scenes with my oc, but please do not go overboard, aka do not kill or seriously maim him without at least coming to me first about it. Do not force your muse upon mine in any romantic or sexual sense without prior approval (but if you want your muse to have a crush, go crazy).

There are stories that roots remember. And there are stories roots invent. Long ago, a shadowy principle shattered above the skyline of Teyvat. That Naberius, once whole & once terrible, fractured into splinters as fine as sand. Most dissolved into the wind, sank into the mud, whispers of old power lost temporarily to the world around it. One fragment, small and devoid of any power worth remarking upon, found itself wedged deep within the damp pulse of an Irminsul root exposed by years of erosion. There, it slumbered for years cradled in memory-thick sap. The roots remembered what they both saw well: they remembered a boy with beautiful white hair who often visited the riverbank, all laugh and charm. A boy who had died far too young against the gentle flow of the water.Blood had seeped deep into the bark that dreary day. The splinter, lacking the capacity to move nor protest, had no choice but to bathe in what it had to offer. It took some time following that day before the root cradling it took action. The leylines were writhing beneath the hands of too curious humans clad in insignias and masks, their ugly instruments causing rot to take hold. The change was dire enough for energy to finally emerge, reality and memory to slip. When the shard was pushed out of its idyllic womb, the shock caused it to merge with the memory leakage, and so it did what it could to survive. It latched upon those memories, claimed them as its own, draping them over itself like a borrowed coat: ragged flesh, crimson-slick, throat cut. Tiny, trembling hands locked around a splintered, wooden sword.It did not know it had assembled itself from a lie. It could not know. The root had fallen silent and the world is kinder, sometimes, when it lies.The Fatui found the boy at dusk, a small smear of blood and mud upon the edge of their encampment surrounded by the fresh bloom of Narciccus. An assumed unfortunate outcome of local circumstance, they took him in without thought. When they asked for his name, he said ████. Pretty like a flower, lost in his own reflection in the mirror of the makeshift infirmary, the nickname Narkis landed upon his shoulders, sinking into the snow like ‘his’ blood had once done.
The boy proved a surprisingly easy thing to train. Obedient, malliable, hungry for purpose and the thrill of his newfound strength. No vision deigned to reward him for his hardwork, but he rose through the ranks of his peers with little issue regardless. Because of this, Il Capitano took notice of his talent, taking him under his wing to make full use of those talents. Under his hand, Narkis bloomed. Steel refined by tactic and patience, brilliance folded into loyalty that was equally brutal to all that opposed it. Soon, he became not a boy, not a man, but a weapon wearing the face of what was once one. A Lieutenant with a boyish grin, infamous for a manic approach to combat that almost rivalled that of the Eleventh Harbinger——so much so that he, too, was rumoured to be in line for a position.Merely a few years into his position as Lieutenant, his mission at █████ ended in complete disaster.When the smoke cleared and the earth settled, only fragments of Narkis crawled out. One arm gone. One arm hollowed from its socket. One heart still stuttering, unwilling to fall with his comrades. He should have died. Instead, something stirred within him, something that did not belong to him nor ████.It rose in him like the ice-water in that boys lungs, giving him a survival that was not earned nor understood. Narkis had left that battlefield believing something had changed irreparably. That he had become something unrecognisable.And perhaps he had. Just not in the way he thinks.A half-mad Doctor visited shortly after his recovery, bringing a gift bestowed upon request of the Captain: a new limb, crafted with the finest combat material. But such a thing could not mimic what once was. It could not restore what had been lost that day. Inside of him, something colder than Snezhnaya began to take root.Weeks later, Narkis requested a transfer. Change, he claimed. The Captain did not pry. Everyone knew he was running with his tail tucked between his legs, from ghosts of iron and forst, from ghosts of comrades he should have died beside.
It was ultimately The Knave who welcomed him into her ranks with a caution typically reserved for strays that still bare their teeth. With the lesser title of Major, she provided him with quieter work to dampen the turmoils of his mind: slitting throats in shadows, gathering secrets, jobs that keep him off the battlefield whilst ensuring that itch for combat and adrenaline could still be met. It did not take long for him to prove his worth to her, and so he soon became a valued asset, accompanying her on her larger missions, Fontaine and Nod-Krai alike.Between his assignments, he began to grow, just not like ████. Unlike the boy, he did not curate roses and lillies. Narkis found catharsis in deadly nightshades. Belladonna and aconite. He studied the way nature's beauty signals danger and poison, how the tenderness rots its petals. Somehow, someway, the careful balance of life and death felt familiar. Comfortable.Soon, his blade carried the venom that felt like home within his bones. And though his hands would forever remain stained by blood and pollen, The Knave allowed him his gardens and his freedoms. The space and grace to hopefully, one day, figure himself out once more.Over the years following his recovery, hushed whispers blossoed amongst his former colleauges: that their former Lieutenant Narkis was on the verge of fleeing the Fatui, running from everything he knew, to return to the riverside and bury himself in the archaic womb that had not warned him of the cruelty of the world above ground.But ████, even in his silence, knew:There was no home left. There never had been.Only soil, and blood, and the things that grow in between.
Keep in mind that Narkis is unaware of his true origins, and as of now I have no plans on making him aware. Other characters are welcome to know (in the sense of sensing the very faint & fading presence of Naberius inside him), such as Archons and characters who are familiar with Naberius (i.e Albedo, the Hexenzirkle, certain Harbingers etc). Just note that if they confront him about this, he will be incredibly confused and likely laugh it off.
Narkis has pre-established dynamics with the Harbingers Tartaglia, Capitano and Arlecchino. However, I will not push this onto anyone who writes these characters. They are welcome to treat him like a stranger if that is more comfortable for the writer.
If you wish to have a pre-established dynamic or understanding between Narkis and your canon character/oc, it is very likely he would be familiar with: anyone Fatui affiliated, anyone with a presence that circles the Fatui within Snezhnaya, Nod-Krai characters / KoF members who were present in Nod-Krai, anyone connected to the House of Hearth etc. If your character does not apply to any of these, but still wishes to have something pre-established for ease of interaction, feel free to DM me.
Narkis is a character riddled with problems, and because of this, the way he acts can vary. I try to write his moods as accurately to his temperament and conditions as possible, but if you'd rather not experience the more melancholic and skittish Lark, just let me know.
