So the purpose of this meme is to give a little info on your muses without having to rely on others to fill your ask with meme questions. I know how disappointing it can be to come back to an empty ask so I wanted to create a meme that anyone and everyone can do (mun and muse).

The rules are simple, you do not need to be tagged to fill out the questions, but once you have you must reblog and tag 12 of your followers to spread the love. You can fill it out as many times as your heart desires (we all know muses can change with their character development.)

10 Questions. ( Before we start can you all please envision Aurelio slouched childishly and not really paying attention right now because that’s his reaction to being pointlessly questioned. ) 

1. What is your favorite word?

_{❛ Oh, joy. A trivial question is the one you start with? I do not have a favourite word, for these things I do not pay much attention to. I suppose if you’re going to badger me anyway, I would say ‘Valeriu’ is most like the top contender. I enjoy the way it sounds and the man it belongs to. Next question? Which toe am I most partial to, perhaps? ❜}

2. What is your least favorite word?

❛ Father. ❜ He says nothing other than that. 

3. What turns you on?

_{❛ Submission and all its joys. Obedience. Defiance, maybe, when I’ve been with someone for a while – but I wouldn’t suggest such early in our relationship. A bounty of other things I tire to tell a stranger. Perhaps you’ll find out, in time. ❜}

4. What turns you off?

_{❛ The way a person moans can sometimes turn me off, if I wanted a mewling cub I’d buy a pet. I curb that eventually, however. Other than that, being irritating is most like the quickest way to leave my bed for good. ❜}

5. What sound do you love?

❛ Voices. ❜ Says he, fondly.  ❛ Voices rank highest. I can quite fond of many sounds, so long as they sing melodic and not foul. I was recently gifted some wind chimes from a visiting family, they are quite enjoyable. I hang them above my bed. ❜

6. What sound do you hate?

❛ Shouting. Anything brash or loud. Do not be surprised if I slit your throat should you raise your voice at me. ❜

7. What is your favourite curse word?

❛ I do not curse, it is lewd and impertinent. ❜

8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?

❛ I can be naught else than what the Maker destined me for. Imperial Divine is my true calling.. ❜

9. What profession would you not like to do?

❛ Anything other than what I do now, I would say.  ❜

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God(s) say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

_{He does not quite like this question. He does not answer.}

Bonus Questions

1. Something most people don’t know about you?

A snort.  ❛ I’m possessed by an Old God. Take a wild stab in the dark. ❜

2. Sexual Preference?

_{❛ I appreciate beauty, no matter who it comes in. ❜}

3. What position do you sleep in?

❛ I pay no real heed to such things. Oft, just — straight I suppose. I am fond of sleeping on my back. ❜

4. What if someone told you…you HAD to lose, just this one time?

_{❛ I would kill them, and win. ❜}

5. Greatest fear?

_{❛ Becoming my father. Losing my youth, my beauty. ❜}

6. If you could leave one thing to be remembered by, what would it be?

❛ I will leave Tevinter great. My name will go down in history books … I will be great. I will leave many things. ❜

7. What’s your middle name?

❛ Jabez. ❜ He purrs.  ❛ It means born in pain. ❜

if anyone ever pointed out to Aurelio that he was basically becoming his father I think he’d just crumble. full on oracle meltdown. wounds would split open from the strain again, tears and anger and blood he’d just —– meltdown. because it’s true and he knows it, he is as self absorbed and callous and wrong as Crematicus, but no he can’t be his father. he’s better than his father. 

think about it. his father literally sold him to become who he is today. not even sold, just given away. just here take this i don’t want it, make it better or kill it. aurelio wasn’t given a name all his life, he was just boy. the blind boy. to grow up hating his father and wanting to overcome and be better than him, slaughtering his way through his own flesh and blood to get there —- and then having it thrown back in his face? like it was all for nothing? like he became the very man who shrugged him away into an almost immortal life of pain and self hatred veiled as love, of mental and physical illness and abuse?

don’t talk to Aurelio about Crematicus. save yourself your life.

^{*switches language mid sentence*}

Aurelio is a very lurid and sexual being, we’ve established. But the way he expresses it is calculating and almost methodical, and very possessive. If you enter into some sort of sexual encounter with him, you’re almost entering into his ownership and he will make this clear. If you see someone wandering around with visible scarification of the word ‘Aurelio’ or a suspicious new ‘neckpiece/necklace’, you know whats gone down. As a sidenote, he finds sexual talk in public distateful but in private —

boy howdy.

do you ever think about the fact that if ONE PERSON had stepped up to protect a THREE YEAR OLD BOY from being mercilessly tortured and possessed just because he was a little divergent from his fathers idea of perfection —- that if JUST ONE PERSON had been like hey this isn’t cool don’t do this to your son, then they could have saved him. Aurelio wouldn’t be the demonic husk of a human he is today. Not one person spoke up. Not one.

LIST 7 THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER and then tag 5 people to do the same.

Tagged by judexcrederis​ ( yes good i love harley )

1. He is such a darkly beautiful character. I adore and despise him in every way && writing him is so satisfying. There is such a marred depth to his character that has even me, his author, surprised at the shit he comes out with. One moment he can be calmly discussing Tevinter politics and the next he can be boiling a man from the inside out in the middle of a ballroom dance and leaving his corpse to be cleaned up by those he deems lesser than him.
   
2. He loves in such an unnerving way, I don’t even particularly call it love. More like possession. He is an immensely erotic man in this aspect; knowing how to work a person physically as much as he does mentally. He holds such a deep rooted need for power && this is interesting to see emerge in how he handles relationships. He paints his own poison as passion and I hate him for it, but I love the sick nature of his being. Also, I look forward to discovering whether or not someone will actually draw out the modicum of affection he can still express, which is liable to fail. 
   
3. I love how batshit fucking crazy he is, & how much he accepts that. I love how he was made into the monster that he is today && his existence is a big fuck you to the people that made him that way. This is a boy who was born runt of the litter and now stands one of the most powerful people in Thedas twenty years after being subjected to some of the worst torture an adult can endure, let alone a child. He’s a survivor, he knows how to survive and how to thrive and he has no shame in expressing his need and ability to do so. Don’t fuck with the Black Divine. 
   
4. His attempts at gentle moments. How he longs for a heartbeat of his own && therefore will go to lengths to feel others — whether it is, normally, the pumping organ in his very hand as he’ll thrust clawed hands into the chest of those who have wronged him or, a rarer occasion, where he’ll lie his head against the chest of one who has managed to tame him at least a fraction. Or he’ll, perhaps, grace a forehead with a kiss or draw one in for an embrace —- but most are either to warp their mind to suit his goals. Otherwise, his affection is expressed as possession. At least he tries.
   
5. He’s incredibly intelligent. Like, cunningly intelligent. And for a boy possessed by a demon and constantly fogged with the thoughts of others, it could have been dreadfully easy for him to fall into pure insanity. But he didn’t. He spent twenty years, endured twenty years of abuse just to watch and wait and learn so that when he ruled, he could rule unchallenged —- and rule well. 
   
6. He’s a nerd. Like a lowkey nerd. When he laughs, and it’s rare — he’ll snort and giggle rather than full out belly laugh — & if you do get him to laugh. Genuinely. It’s like, this beautiful unknown sight. This tall ass beautiful, creepy Tevinter just snorting in the corner at a dumb joke someone made in court. Amazing. 
   
7. Just general aspects of how he acts. How he can be such a stoic, unnerving man one moment and then a dreamlike, ethereal being in the next. The constant inner battle he has between demon and human makes for interesting changes in his behavior and even appearance — and writing his thoughts can either make me fuckin’ angry as hell or close to tears. 
   

tagging anyone who wants to do it tbh! <3

essentially, an oracle has nothing in him that makes him human — removal of internal organs lessens their humanity and gets rid of weakness in place for the demon. Aurelio has no heart or lungs and survives solely on the essence and magick of the demon inside of him; the beast quite literally filling his skin.

on his chest there is a deep, jagged hole of a scar where his heart should be ( occasionally this will re open and need tending to ), & multiple incision scars along his body where other organs were stolen from him. around his wrists there are ligature marks where he was bound to a table during the time he spent becoming an oracle. he is also coated in other minor marks, but the most haunting perhaps are the self inflected scars on his back, scratched into him by his own claws and resembling the wings of an angel to symbolize his holiness.

^{also Aurelio will be addressed as ‘Your Holiness’ or ‘Your Worship’ and won’t take being addressed as anything else by those he dubs less than he. So virtually everyone. He will also lose interest immediately if he is around when one calls another by these titles. He believes strongly he is the only one worthy enough to hold such reverence and strongly despises Inquisitors who deem themselves holy without any real claim to the Maker.}
