CARDINAL COPIA from GHOST
INDIE . SELECTIVE #ratpoisons
𝕳𝖊𝖆𝖉 𝖈𝖔𝖈𝖐𝖊𝖉,tail flicking behind impatiently- “ Should I leave? “ It’s less of a genuine question than it is a jab made pointedly at Copia’s ego. “ You sound like you’re about to polish your ferula to some laundry. I think I should leave. “
Shoots a disdainful glare over his shoulder toward the ghoul who had, unbeknownst to Copia, sidled up to him as quiet as a shadow. For what purpose? To ridicule, apparently. He pushes back in his seat so that it reclined, and he closes his eyes with a frown.
❛ You’ve already ruined the mood. I’m assuming you’re here for something else other than that. I know how you revel in being a pain in the assular region, but for your sake, you better have something else up your sleeve. ❜
INTRO. To quote my usual introductions, hello I am Nero, real name Veren. Local goth obsessed with Ghost. I play games religiously. And speaking of religion, i am a theistic Luciferian - multiple edge points for yours truly. I have discord if you wish to ask for that. This blog has dark & triggering themes so, again, don't say I didn't warn you, but don't worry it won't get too bad. I think?

O1. Although it's more likely that I'll try to stick to a "selective" follow back criteria - as in, following / following back blogs I feel Copia can plasuibly interact with - don't be discouraged if you don't immediately become a mutual of mine. If you have something in mind, message me, and I'm sure we can work something out. We don't have to be mutuals for us to plot. I will always follow back writing partners.
O2. The only faceclaim I will be using is Tobias Forge's image of Cardinal Copia. And despite the fact I will be using icons, please don't feel as if you have to match that, I will be writing and roleplaying with anybody regardless of icons / no icons. Also it's important to note this blog does not intend to be a characterisation of Tobias Forge himself rather his character made for Ghost's lore.
O3. Copia is a comedic man but likewise he is a dangerous man. He is chaotic, and does whatever he feels, whenever he feels. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not underestimate him just because he makes you laugh, likewise he is not overpowered and knows when he can be outmatched. Stronger muses, fear not, no godmodding here.
O4. Response times may vary. I spend a lot of time on my Xbox, and I split my time amongst different people which normally tires me out, so it's logical to assume I won't be spitting out long replies every single day. But it depends on length, and of course irl events. It's alright to remind me I owe you a response but as is rp etiquette, please do not pressure me! Nothing wrong with a little nudge but several becomes a problem. I don't have the mental energy.
O5. I am open to shipping be it platonic or romanic and / or sexual. However I do require the ship to be slow burn which means he requires chemistry, AND patience. He is a sociopathic man so please do not expect genuine fluff or for me to chop and change his character for the sake of a ship. I really want to recreate Tobias' work, as canonically possible as I can make him. If you're not a fan of mostly one-sided ships, my portrayal is not for you.
O6. Write however you like. Style, length of response, it doesn't matter to me. As long as I can work with whatever you give me that is the only thing I look for in a reply. I am happy to do one liners, single para, or multi para. I also write dialogue-only, crack, and full multi para. If I write two paragraphs and you respond with one, that is perfectly acceptable. I'm very much for the whole 'quality over quantity' thing.
O7. I don't contribute to tumblr's politics. I have my own views, and I form my own opinions on things / individuals. I will not unfollow easily, but if you reek of drama over a long time span, then that is a red flag for me. This is a hobby of mine. It isn't that serious. It's important to me to keep this space relatively clean and use it as an escape. I have autism, bpd, and severe anxiety ( all diagnosed professionally ) so please understand that as I will for you.
O8. I have no triggers. I will not be requesting any trigger tags. But if you have any, please tell me, and I will tag accordingly; I am sympathetic with such. This blog MAY get heavily triggering, but that depends entirely on thread content. I can't imagine anybody who isn't fond of the dark will be following me anyway.
O9. Lastly, I do mains, but not exclusives unless they're very special circumstances. At some point I may do a mains page, but who knows. To reiterate, this is for fun, and I don't want anybody in the community to feel excluded. Even if I have a main of your muse please do not let that put you off from approaching me! I will happily write with doubles. And of course, you may write with other Copias too.
Alignment. Neutral Evil. The Cardinal is an ambitious man wrapped up in calculated chaos. Though he gives off a comedic and occasionally clumsy demeanour, do not take it at face value, lest he remove your head.
Zodiac. Leo. "action-oriented and driven by the desire to be admired, the Leo have an air of royalty about them. They love to be in the limelight, which is why many of them make a career in the performing arts. The personality of a Leo is made up of some positive as well as negative traits."
Sexuality. Bisexual.
Appearance. 5'6", 135lbs. One hazel eye, one white eye due to iridum. The cardinal has short dirty blond hair and pale white skin, his most noteworthy feature however are his charcoal black rings around his eyes and a painted black upper lip with a 'Clark Gable' moustache. He exclusively wears black and / or red with white be it his vestments or a suit. He is very short and petite for a male, which he uses to his advantage - Copia is incredibly agile.

MBTI. ENTJ. People with this personality type embody the gifts of charisma and confidence, and project authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal. But unlike their Feeling (F) counterpart, ENTJs are characterized by an often ruthless level of rationality, using their drive, determination and sharp minds to achieve whatever end theyβve set for themselves.
Enneagram. Type 3 β The Achiever. Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness.
He is not a holy man. The cardinal is a symbol of hedonism, disease, and greed, for his name is rooted in over-indulgence and abundance. Despite his place in the hierarchy, his envy consumes him when in the presence of the Emeritus - and it is through the whispers of a bird that he is consumed by temptation. The bird told him to behead the Third, and so it augmented. Much to his dismay however he was still not fulfilled now that he had usurped his predecessor; Thus, the cardinal stays true to his name. Though he is a seemingly whimsical man he is also a cretin and a deceiver. Trust not in his word. He is akin to a bard and a trickster alike, a snake amongst the vatican.
He too is a sycophant for the sake of furthering himself in his agenda. Volatile at his worst. The Pied Piper and bringer of pestilence. The cardinal is silver and fork-tongued, knowing what lies to feed and when to sow the seed. His weakness is in himself; Pride and egotism. Though he is cunning - it is best not to antagonise the antagoniser. His bite is full of venom. Just as the bird whispered terrible things in his ear, along came a rat who told him he could wield plagues and bring death to the doors of which he entered. And so he does.
