SWORN TO THE SWORD
shipping meme

It's textbook, really. Or, more accurately, parchment, because you've either found yourself or always been in a time (it doesn't necessarily have to be medieval) where swords are the weapons and the mindset of the day; at the very least, the rough and tumble attitude that comes with a knife's edge permeates the land. And you know how to wield a weapon, be it a blade, your own body, or something else entirely, so you've put it to good use.

You've become a sworn sword to protect someone.

It could be out of the goodness of your heart, out of heritage, or stemmed from a desire for compensation or power. No matter what the cause, however, one fact remains the same, and that's how you cannot let emotions cloud your judgement.

Of course, that may be a little easier said than done. When you're so close to a person, in order to keep them safe, and when you put your very life on the line...

...ah, but you must persevere. Your duty does not allow you to falter.

[Protector.]

Edited 2021-06-15 14:48 (UTC)

[ooc: Poison masters don't pick up swords...]

[ Stubborn but likely the protected ]

m/f, protector. open to unintended role reversal.

[ ooc; just pull my arm why don't you. the protected and ota. ]

[Most likely the protector but I could swing protected for some fun]

( the protected. )

( the protector. )

[ooc: Either role.]

[ooc: Probably protected, but can go either way.]

( ota m/f. f/f with previous cr. she is a queen so most likely the one being protected even if she can totally freeze you. )

[ Except Baby!Assassin, y/y?? ]

[ Could technically go either way! As the self-titled Black Prince, one of the few remaining members of the Black Dragonflight, someone could definitely serve him! However, Wrathion has been known to throw his support behind other people if he slips enough to start caring. ]

[Stubborn, but the protected one.]

[Could probably be either? But I feel like protected might be more likely. (Some combination, maybe? A mutual sort of protecting and being protected?)]

[DEFINITELY the protected.]

[Either role.]

[Could be either role.]

[The protected, most likely. The protector in a few select instances. Or some sort of mutual protector/protecting going on.]
