kiki. she / her. 27. okinawan + seasian. pisces sun, pisces moon, taurus rising.

interaction & activity. my blog is independent, selective, & mutuals only. i'm super busy irl and extremely low energy, so i might miss a follow. please give me a week or so to check your blog. i don't really open tumblr much lol. i have two jobs and i also do graphics comms, and i reallyreallyreally like to be chronically offline and read books, so there will be times i miss follows! again, please just give me a week ( or two ) to check your blog out! i usually follow back quickly if i see us interacting!following. if i followed you, i want to write with you! i'm open to all aus & crossovers! if you ever want to plot something with me, please reach out! if i don't have something worked out, i'm more than happy to discuss things regardless of if i know anything about your series or not. i'm not familiar with like 80% of major games but i don't care! i wanna write with y'all! i can and will bullshit a verse just to do it!i knowwww it's impossible to literally write with everyone, but i do my best to send asks, post interaction calls, etc. please note, even if we never write, i'm happy to follow people! i love seeing y'all's talent 🥺 i will never softblock for inactivity, and i will never softblock if we don't interact on a "fast enough" or within a "certain time period" between becoming mutuals. all interactions are no pressure, and i'm not going to sit here and make anyone feel bad about it when we're all busy adults with lives offline.post formatting. i don't tend to over-format my posts. i fluctuate between standard-sized text and small text, with standard-sized dialogue. i don't typically use icons because i'm lazy, but every now and then i might. if i do, you're not obligated to also use icons. you're also not obligated to not use icons just because i don't!i do ask this, however, because i have poor eyesight with astigmatism and am prone to migraines, and posts with low / poor accessibility tends to make my eyes / head hurt: please don't use over-brightly colored text in replies to me or fancy fonts ( they aren't actually fonts and aren't screen-reader friendly ) or excessive caps lock ( ie. the entire post's text is in caps ) or excessive spacing ( ie. more than four/five spaces between words, because it makes my brain pause a little too long and it's just difficult for me to read ).shipping. TO BE BLUNT: I AM NO-SHIP. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SHIPS. I DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF CLOSE FRIENDS, OR LONG-TIME MUTUALS ( re: we have to have been mutuals across various blogs for years. or at least have to have known each other a long time ooc ). please do not approach me with the intent or expectation for ships. i am not open to shipping outside of close friends. eden is extremely toxic by nature because of her obsessive tendencies, and her penchant for tossing people aside once bored. she is heavily guarded, manipulative, and does not experience attraction normally. please do not force ship me.while eden is a flirtatious character, her intentions are rarely genuine in romantic nature. please don't take her flirtation as interest! i enjoy posting interaction calls where eden bites people — she's a vampire after all! the nature of a vampire's bite is naturally sensual. again, please do not take this for eden being interested, if she bites your muse.the most i can offer anyone is unrequited dynamics. i cannot promise you eden will like your muse. she definitely will not love your muse — she is tragically incapable of it, and i'm not interested in watering her down for the sake of romantic ships. she might be able to like someone in the way you like having fun and spending time with someone, but she will not develop feelings for them. please keep this in mind before approaching me. eden is just not a shippable character. i'd much rather explore other dynamics with her! if this was your sole interest when perusing my blog or approaching, i am terribly sorry to disappoint. there are just so many other interesting dynamics and plots to explore outside of romance! and again, eden is just simply not capable of romance.she has a long history of complicated trauma and relationship to affection / love. she is not here as a character for anyone to 'fix.' eden does not like affection, coddling, or softness. i really cannot stress enough how not built for romance she is. any possibility for any inclination toward a genuine romance is going to take SO much long slowburn work — open to good friends only. i write a lot of other different muses who are open to shipping more easily, so feel free to ask!mains & affiliates. it's 2026 and the community is way too small, so i no longer participate in exclusivity. however, i will take mains for close friends / beloved writing partners whose portrayals are closely tied to my own, or are just people i love writing with!mains & affiliates are not the same to me! mains are people i plot heavily with & intertwine with. affiliates are simply people i want to show off on my pinned post because i lovelovelovelovelove them, because we're friends!

blog content. this blog is 21+ only. i'm not keen on smut. i love build-ups. i don't write smut. if anything, any nsfw will be fade to black only. all triggers are tagged as trigger cw or trigger -. if you need anything tagged you're more than welcome to ask me!content dni. if you write for snk/aok, acotar (or any SJM media), stranger things, harry potter, hazbin / vivziepop, hetalia, fourth wing, heated rivalry, or hockey rp using real life athletes as your fcs, this isn't a safe space for you. if you write incest or underage smut, this is definitely not a safe space for you. don't follow if you're non-asian (most especially if you're white) and you ONLY write east asian muses, or if you racebend canonically white muses and give them racist headcanons.i am okinawan with living + deceased direct family & relatives who are survivors of japanese imperialism in ww2. my family are also direct descendants of ryukyuan kings so yeah the imperialism / colonialism hits extra hard when i think of the history and culture we lost during the assimilation periods + ww2.drama / callouts. i don't support callout culture for what it is, but i believe in sharing the callouts of those who are genuinely dangerous, not witch hunts. if you see me interacting with someone nasty, i probably don't know about it, so please message me privately. i have zero tolerance for vagueblogging or guilt-tripping or petty drama posting. i unfollow / softblock over this at my leisure. we are too damn old for this behavior. this is tumblr rp, not a job.

DNI. don't interact with me if you follow or support @indeath ( my abuser — please look through this link & decide for yourself ) as well as their friends ( ana @goldfanged ; axel/briarwood @gallantry ). raphael/Q is a repeat abuser ( with DOZENS of victims beyond just their former romantic partners ) and a rapist, and their friends are just blind abuse/rape apologists. the latter of which continues to spread blatant lies/misinformation despite the mountain of evidence.here is yet another RECENT post against raphael/Q from the account of their victim after me, A.K.A, IT HAPPENED MORE RECENTLY.this DNI is non-negotiable.

writer info. kiki ( if you're used to calling me rina that's ok lol ). 27, she / her, okinawan & seasian. i basically work full-time, bartend nights on weekends, so it keeps me busy. i typically don't reply to dms on weekends due to that. i work late and come home to rot and forget about my messages 😔i'm very easygoing but i'm not always the chattiest just because i'm super duper forgetful ( adhd whoopsie ) and also sooooo busy. it's never personal i swear! i get overwhelmed easily and am not the best in one-on-one convos, but i thrive in gcs / servers. i promise i'd love to plot though! my IMs are always open! if i ever don't reply for a few weeks / months, i 100% forgot so please never feel afraid to poke me!

credits. all graphics on this carrd are made by me. i designed this carrd! if you're a fan of my templates, i have a ko-fi shop where you can get them, as well as icon borders. i don't have comms open at the moment and probably won't for a while, but if we're friends and you catch me at a good time, i might be able to throw something your way 😌✨

post divider by paletterph.

discord. for mutuals only! i typically don't give it out right away either. i'm just a little shy and protective of my energy and space. but if i post it openly on the dash you're more than welcome to send me a request!

dossier.

throw me away, me and my crooked halo.

1. she actually borders more on aromanticism, but it's a difficult line to tread with eden; she's unsure of her own feelings, unable to differentiate them from obsession versus genuine feelings or love for someone, rather than simply the idea of them and the high that comes with being desired. in short, we're not interested in ships on this blog unless we are very good friends.

  job occupation.    owner of eden's bite, a casino + hotel resort in las vegas. also is the singer / guitarist / pianist of the band PARADIE.
  place of origin.     yokohama, japan.
  home.    originally san francisco, california. later, las vegas, nevada.
  family.     parents ( nobuo & rie ) deceased. her siblings ( jun & yori ) are are also deceased. in the later years of their lives, she did not see them often, which she regrets every day of her life.
  d&d alignment.     strangely, an equal mix of neutral good and neutral evil. it makes sense, because eden's temperament is highly influenced by those in her immediate sphere in the moment.
  mbti.     tbd.

personality. eden's personality is somewhat difficult to describe. at her core, she is lively, though in her moments of silent can be extremely calculating, observant, and cunning. she is kindhearted and compassionate deep down, and certainly has a moral compass that leans towards good, but she can, and will, commit evil deeds to accomplish the good. she can be flirtatious and sultry, but more often than not, it is a front that she wears. eden is manipulative and almost always scheming to find ways to put herself, and keep herself, at the top of the ladder. she has clawed her way to her own empire and will do whatever it takes to maintain her seat on her self-made throne.eden is extremely temperamental, unpredictable, volatile. when in moments of rage, it's like a switch was flipped and cannot be turned off. she can be violent, cruel, and little can be done to calm her once triggered. unfortunately, this often results in murderous vampire rampages. the odd thing about eden, though, is that her personality can be influenced by a friend, partner, or person of influence that is currently physically in her presence. though she has a strong mind of her own, her behaviors can be either curbed or enabled if the object of her obsession influences her one way or the other.

history. eden was not always known as eden, but her name has been long since lost. her parents were heimin in the meiji era. with the changes in the meiji era, they gained more freedoms than they had in the end of the edo period. they were not wealthy, but they owned land from which they sold enough crops to sustain their families.eden was the youngest of three. despite the struggles for her family, her childhood was otherwise pleasant — for the most part, at least. she grew up during the 1860s-70s, but came of age during the 1880s. this was a period of industrialization for japan, and a very rapid one, at that. eden learned of the world, government, and foreign language from european teachers invited to teach at her school, becoming fluent in english and dutch. as the centuries passed, she speaks rather accent-less english, with only a hint of british influence, which she tries to hide.she took to the new era with ease, embracing innovation and change, yearning to see more of the world that was once closed off to her country. as she grew, she learned many forms of japanese gambling, as well as those introduced by europeans. while with eyes like a hawk and an elephant's memory, she learned every game she could.her poker face ( though it wasn't called this just yet ) is unrivaled, matched only by her wit and sharp instincts. she quickly made a reputation for herself around her town, even amongst the nobles and former samurai, with her flashy demeanor and accumulated wealth from her winnings, which she was not afraid to flaunt. she funneled the wealth to her family for their comfort, to ensure that their lives were pleasant, enough to become shizoku. of course, her family worried for her wellbeing, in traveling to tokyo alone so often, and sometimes days or weeks would go by before she would return to her hometown. and? her family was right to worry.

a note on vampire bites as it pertains to eden. please note, as mentioned in my rules, while vampire bites are innately sensual and rooted in eroticism, they typically don't mean anything to eden. she's learned to wear a mask, learned to play the part of seductress to get what she wants, but do not take her flirtations or bites as her being interested in your muse unless we've discussed it ooc beforehand. she is heavily on the aroace spectrum and i'm not much interested in shipping her at all. i'm much more interested in exploring other plots, especially to do with facets of humanity and sin, as those are eden's particular interests.
the entire headcanons tag, if you find yourself bored and wanting to know things!

my vampire lore draws inspiration from various vampire medias, historical representations of vampires, and my own nit-picking of vampire lore of things that i enjoy or do not enjoy and therefore have written out of my own lore. this section functions less as a lore with regard to world building, but rather my interpretation of vampires as i have always seen fit. no one is required to adhere to my interpretation of vampirism, and eden can and will be twisted to suit other medias if written in those specific verses.

contrary to popular belief, vampires are capable of consuming human food and drink. alcoholic beverages in particular are helpful to partake in to aid in curbing vampiric hunger. as vampires are no longer living, consuming human food does nothing for their bodies nutritionally. they can still taste and digest it normally as they once did as humans, but it will not sustain them to live and they instead require the consumption of blood, and the most potent being human blood. consuming human food aids in presenting themselves normally within society, and actually benefits their bodies with regard to digestion. digesting a diet of purely blood leads to foul odors of rot and decay.
the strange thing about vampires is this: while they were made vampires by dying, they were then resurrected by magic into an immortal being as they are. that being said, they can touch silverware made from silver, as long as it isn't certified silver. "real" silver silverware must be approximately 92% silver in composition. anything less may be aggravating, but not too painful. touching real silver will hurt, but it isn't impossible. only purified and blessed silver will be excruciating and impossible to touch.
on the heels of the mention of silver, touching silver is not fatal to vampires. werewolves, on the other hand, are afflicted by silver. however, that isn't to say that vampires are wholly immune to the effects of silver so long as the silver is pure silver and doubly blessed with magicked spells, such as silver knives or bullets being laced with holy water. poisons that are harmful to humans are still harmful to vampires, but the potency must be increased tenfold or more. otherwise, it is simply aggravating and will not necessarily incapacitate one. it will still be a painful experience, however.

vampires are not immune to disease. they won't catch the cold or flu like humans do, but they are not immune to mutations or contracting blood - borne diseases. it often is not fatal, though somewhat of an inconvenience and severe annoyance. however, some mutations, especially genetic, can prove to be fatal, if not from the disease itself, then by someone else's doing with consideration to thinking the vampire is too weak to fend off an assailant. while vampires' bodies do not wholly function like humans any longer, their hearts are still beating and blood and provides energy and life to their organs. any disease afflicting these organs may prove to be degenerative, which isn't always fatal, but can be.
if vampires are turned as humans while having a terminal disease, they will not be cured.vampires have incredible regenerative abilities. however, if they had a terminal disease prior to being turned, the regenerative abilities would work against them and rapidly replicate the diseased cells, making them even sicker. it is extremely painful, and they will suffer until they either quickly lose their minds to the pain, or someone puts them out of their misery.
vampires are immortal, but they aren't invincible. they can be killed, and in various ways. they can be burned alive, staked in the heart by enchanted pure silver, enchanted sycamore and ash wood stakes, etc. the weapons must be magically enchanted. however, they may also be decapitated, provided you also burn the corpse to ensure that the dead stay dead. being in sunlight will not kill them, but it will cause them pain and intense discomfort. prolonged sun exposure can result in severe burns; even longer sun exposure ( re: longer than 3-4 hours without a daylight ring ) may result in them catching fire. other supernatural beings can kill them, especially with magical abilities and beheadings.

vampires all have similar abilities, but some are more gifted with certain attributes than others. this may come with age and experience, but this is also influenced by the strength and age of their sire. the abilities they are particularly gifted in may also be affected by who their sire is and where their strengths lied, and this is exhibited in particular in vampires who were then trained in their abilities by their sires.
vampires can still see their reflections, even if the mirror's base is made of pure silver. if you ask eden about this, she'll likely laugh right in your face and make you feel quite foolish.
even amongst vampires, their origin is up for debate.those ancient enough to recollect or intimately know do well to stay hidden from not only mankind, but their own kind and other supernatural beings. killing a vampire's sire will not kill the vampire themself, unless the sire killed is one of the original vampires. it is unknown how many original vampires there are, nor who they are. how the original vampires came into being is up for heavy debate.
vampires do not have to be invited into a home in order to enter. this is a myth, and they can and will go as they please. however, they must be invited onto hallowed ground. not all churches are considered consecrated unless blessed by a series of priests. a church cannot simply be built and would not automatically be consecrated. the land and the structure itself must be blessed and declared sacred.

strengths.

immortality
enhanced hearing, eyesight, and scent
enhanced strength
enhanced speed, agility, and dexterity
enhanced regeneration / healing
otherworldly allure / beauty, even if they look rather ordinary.
bloodline dependent abilities: pyrokinesis, psychokinesis, psychic abilities ( compulsion, hypnosis, etc. ), shapeshifting

weaknesses.

aversion to sunlight
pure silver, and silver purified by holy magicks
magically enchanted weapons, blessed with holy magicks or witches
holy water. anything holy, really. original purified artefacts cleansed in holy magicks and ritual. this also extends to holy blood: all ranks of angel, holy gods (no matter the religion). blood from such creatures are poisonous, almost corrosive.
fire, holy fire
killing an original vampire will end their entire line, including their own sired vampires, and the sired of their sired, and so on. it may not always be instant. the vampire will begin to show signs of death in the manner in which they died as a human, such as reopening wounds, or sudden acceleration of disease.
decapitation
blood - borne diseases; genetically degenerative diseases

biography.

i am the nightmare infecting your dreams.

life had been simpler, when she was a girl, long before she was a woman called eden, when her birth name, emika, still felt like sunlight on her lips. it was entirely without glamor, all dirt roads and fraying straw sandals caked with the warmth of brown earth. her family had been heimin, commoners, but they owned land and turned the soil, growing fruits and vegetables to sell at market. they were not wealthy, but they made well enough to live comfortably.but emika wanted more. she's seen the wealth of the growing city, a short (but still substantial) distance away from the countryside. she's seen the gold-lined pockets of samurai and lesser lords, the war generals passing through lantern-lit towns bright with promise for fine drinks and greater fortunes. she dreamed of being able to shower her family in immeasurable wealth, venturing into the city time after time to try her hand at games with much higher stakes.it wasn't long before she gained a small fame of her own within the city, though perhaps in a much smaller circle. still, anyone who knew much of the city's most exciting gambling games came to know emika. she learned the traditional japanese games and the europeans shared their own, too. emika learned them all, excelled in her ability to steel her face while reading the bodies and faces of all who opposed her with an uncannily keen precision. they might have called her a witch for it, and perhaps they did. she was young, far too young to linger in the darkened corners of the city where the fires had died and shadows dawned, but old enough to make a life of her own.it was the mid-1880s when she first met him. cunning, charming, eyes sharp with moonlight, and impossible to read. he smiled in such a way that never showed his teeth, only the razor blade glint dancing in his darkened eyes. that first night, he stole every bit of coin she'd earned just before he found a seat at her table. ryuuji, he'd said his name was. eden hated him in an instant. he was arrogant in a way that was careless, like it took so little effort, if any at all, for him to exist exactly as he was. but he was calm all the same, cool as a sheathed blade.ryuuji beat her every game, somehow reading her no matter how good she was. eventually, after just over a year, months after emika swore she'd quit, she went back into town. ryuuji was already at the speakeasy, seated at the bar with two fresh drinks, one in front of himself while the other remained before the empty seat beside him, like he was waiting for company. emika regretted stepping in the moment she spotted him, but she felt a preternatural push, one that shoved her until she was just behind him. a sliver of a faint smile cut over ryuuji's lips, and he silently gestured for her to sit. for some reason, he'd been waiting for her.after that point, the rest was history. she came to trust ryuuji, thought she was coming to love him after the months growing into years playing countless games, but it turns out a small human woman, no matter how smart they could be, was no match for the otherworldly. she thought nothing of it, at first; almost didn't feel the fangs sinking into her neck one night until she felt the throbbing rush of blood and an all too real sensation of aching pain unlike anything she has ever felt before. then, there was nothing. ryuuji snapped her neck, and when she awakened, a river of blood from ryuuji's wrist bubbled from her lips, and she clung to the source with fervent frenzy. ryuuji tore her from his arm and fled in the brief moment her eyelids fluttered to blink.emika thought it was a fever dream, at first. she searched for ryuuji for answers, but he never returned to the speakeasy again. days passed by, but the ache in her body still remained. she was filled with a hollowed, insatiable hunger, a hunger left uncured by even the finest meals the small inn had to offer. her stomach filled, but the hunger was still there, and soon, the nausea came, too. a few more days dragged on by, and the bruising upon her neck began to clear, but her hunger only grew and grew. and still, ryuuji had not reappeared.eventually, emika returned home, back to the small town within the heart of the farms, but she was not, and would never again be, even a fraction of the woman she'd been when she left before.more time passed, and her hunger had yet to fade. she felt a lingering sickness with each morsel of food left to decay in her stomach. until one night, she fought with one of her brothers, jun.

emika had thrown him against a wall with an unnatural strength, one a woman her size—let alone any human being—could not possibly have. jun was rightfully terrified and took off, leaving emika alone with the weight of what she'd done. she hadn't hurt him, not terribly, but she knew then that something wasn't right.emika's irritation only grew into an uncontrollable anger. her parents called for the village doctor, but he couldn't find anything wrong. physically, emika was perfect, healthier than ever. perhaps she's possessed, is what the townsfolk say, but she couldn't find it in herself to deny such accusations, because what other explanation was there? her appetite is ravenous, incurable, insatiable, but she felt a growing, gnawing ache clawing from deep within her, a drought in her veins.before long, emika would take a life. her village wasn't far from yokohama, a short walking distance, and she needed fresh air. with ryuuji gone, with the trauma she'd left behind in tokyo, she didn't want to go back, and yokohama's night life was good enough. the night streets were not safe for a woman on her own. emika was beautiful—she always had been. but even in the state of mortal decay, she was otherworldly with an undeniable allure. her beauty caught a soldier's eye that night, but it was his fatal mistake. he wouldn't let go of her wrist until she struck him hard enough to draw blood from his lip. in that moment, it was like a switch flipped. the scent of iron was thick and cloying, tempting in a way that watered her mouth. emika licked the minute trace left on her knuckles, and right after, she took him.the soldier's body was discovered in the open cobblestone street as daylight dawned. he'd been torn apart, a vicious gash at his throat, coated with dark congealed blood. his limbs, though not fully detached from his body, were torn from their sockets. a second body appeared the next day, then two more the next.yokohama thought it had itself a serial killer on its hands, and emika could hardly fight back against the pang of her guilt, the overhanging sense of morality, the remnants of her lingering humanity. she may no longer be human, but her humanity remains. she knows that she cannot be caught for fear of persecution, of death, and though she does feel the guilt following each slaying, she cannot stop herself from gorging on fresh blood.emika is, unfortunately, alone in all of this, abandoned and left to fend for herself without guidance, without anyone to teach her how to exist in the new life she found herself in with a curse branded to her soul. there isn't a word for what she is, except for demon.when her family began to question where she'd go during the late evenings, she steeled her answers with the truth. but she cannot face them any longer, not like before. she knows by now that she is, somehow, no longer human. ryuuji had done something to her, and the thought fills her with a burning rage. he is what he made her to be, yet he is gone, with him the answers to everything emika desperately needed to know.she doesn't have the heart to say anything to her family about what happened in tokyo. who would believe her, anyways? it's ridiculous, a fantasy's tale. emika soon packs her belongings, tells her family that she would be making a life for herself in tokyo. close enough, still, to her family, but far enough away that they won't witness her as she is. for their own safety, especially now; she cannot fight the blood cravings. she knew that she couldn't keep this charade up for long, that some day, they will note how she rarely visits, and when she does, they'll see how she hasn't aged. only then will she be open with the truth.in the next century, emika, now reinvented as eden, pools her mass of wealth to purchase a large stretch of land in las vegas, nevada, 80 acres, with the heart of it being what once belonged to a condemned catholic church. her wealth came from her success in gambling for decades, and from consuming the wealthy and taking possession of their own wealth to pool it into her own. she began her own empire to fulfill her dream of luxury, and created EDEN'S BITE, built in the image of european gothic cathedrals. it becomes the epicenter of supernatural intermingling in las vegas, a sanctuary for all walks of life for people of all kinds to enjoy the nightlife. it holds an air of elegance and exclusivity with a touch of the occult, making it a desirable attraction to humans, who are none the wiser to who walks among them.

the simplest way i can visually describe the aesthetics and grandeur of eden's bite is this: imagine the cologne cathedral and its immaculate gothic architecture, both inside and out, and imagine if it'd been retrofitted with vampiric aesthetics in deep reds and satins and velvets and silks and pool tables, slot machines, poker tables, etc. the overall aesthetic is largely fine marble, gargoyles everywhere, crystalline chandeliers and light fixtures as well as candlelit sconces and torches, floor to ceiling windows (many of which are stained glass), enormous stone pillars, statues of various religious aesthetics (like angels).eden's bite features those enormous sky-scraping arched ceilings and panels of stained glass in the back, a relic from the cathedral it actually used to be. much of it has been renovated, however, to fashion itself after gothic european cathedrals. there are massive stone columns reaching from floor to ceiling. this main area is the largest section of the casino. there is a stage at its center for in-casino performances or for hosting competitions for games, and bars on each cardinal wall, as well as private lounge rooms along the walls between the bars. there are various seats available along the edges of the room, separate from the lounge rooms. when you first enter the 'cathedral,' you are greeted with the original pews. here, you can see the entirety of the main casino. there are five pews on both the left and right side as you enter, totaling ten, and can be a casual place to sit while taking in the sights. the cathedral is mostly a separate building from everything else to maintain the cathedral aesthetic, while the rest are attached. the main lobby of eden's bite is external to the casino. there is the main entrance, which goes to the lobby. the lobby extends to other buildings, while the backside of the lobby leads to a filler room, which then opens to the cathedral.eden's bite features several secret locations. on approximately its tenth floor is another casino, at a much smaller scale, though is still several thousand square feet in size. this room is far more exclusive, meant only for patrons of supernatural origins. this entire floor cannot be accessed by human patrons without invitation. it requires secret elevator access, at which guards are posted to ensure humans do not find their way up. this same elevator leads to eden's penthouse office, as well as the deepest basement levels, which act as storage and, well, dungeons and torture chambers. the private casino is linked to a private nightclub in an adjacent room, akin to the size of an enormous grand ballroom. some supernatural species prefer to mingle amongst themselves quietly without the stench of humans, or would rather not risk the temptations.most attractions are on the first floor of eden's bite, for ease of access to human patrons. eden has found that humans are the easiest to con, and while she does quite enjoy humanity, she also finds enjoyment in toying with them, too. many of her patrons are wealthy, and stupid too, so she doesn't feel much remorse in taking their money. it's something of a large social experiment for her, to see just how far human sins will take them down the wells of depravity, to see if they'd find the inner strength and resolve to put an end to their reckless avarice.also on the first floor is the massive nightclub. much bigger than the supernatural-exclusive one, to make room for both varieties of patrons. this nightclub doubles as a concert venue, and is, to put it lightly, massive. it features a stage on the east wall for bands and artists, as well as things like burlesque nights, and more. it spans several floors, with the central area being the dance floor. each floor is edged with finely carved stone banisters overlooking the dance floor. to the west wall is the DJ booth. the north wall is eden's private lounge, platformed on raised pedestals and roped off. she is not often present, but the area remains no-access nevertheless.the nightclub on the 10th floor is similar in aesthetic, except (again) in smaller scale, but has eden's personal lounge area/throne on the north wall. except here, there isn't so much a dedicated large stage; rather, it's a much smaller one for entertainers to dance around lounge seats with a bar toward the west wall, and lounge seats scattered around with more private booths to the east.toward the west wing, eden's bite has expanded into a massive five-star hotel and resort and spa. it is a 70-story building with rooftop access for private parties. some rooms are larger and more luxurious than others, of course, but each and every room at the hotel has been carefully and lovingly designed with gothic opulence in mind.as mentioned above, there are dozens upon dozens of different stores, many of which are designer boutiques, mostly because eden really only wears designer and she likes to shop around her own business. if you've ever been to big fancy hotels, many of them have on-premise shops, but it's just quite ridiculous at eden's bite. it's essentially what amounts to a miniature mall, but with how busy eden's bite always is, the businesses and shopowners who rent stores here make out quite well, especially with eden shopping frequently for her personal closet, which she keeps both on premises and her personal mansion a few miles away.there are several on-site restaurants, as well as a large venue specifically for broadway performances, and the occasional cirque du soleil show. eden lives to entertain, and she loves to be entertained.

verses & more.

i am the nightmare infecting your dreams.

main verse. original lore. eden's main & canon verse takes place in a low / urban fantasy setting of our world. based in las vegas, nevada, eden runs a self-made casino empire and luxury hotel. although she's still considered a vampire fledgling, she is well-respected amongst supernatural folk due the fame of her establishment.

league of legends. i'll update this with a link to a verse post once i write it, but eden is an ionian orphan. so she thinks, anyway. she never saw her family when they were separated, never saw them die, but at her age, she couldn't go looking for them. she was taken into noxus as many ionian children were. eden was always smart, playing card games and other tricks for coins among village elders when she was young, and continued those games in noxus. she learned the noxian games, and fended for herself that way. learned quite well games of manipulation as she grew older, and eventually, in her twenties, she meets a hemomancer named ryuuji. also being of ionian origin, she was drawn to him, but also for the fact that she could never beat him at any tavern's games. ryuuji teaches her hemomancy and when it becomes apparent she has a natural affinity for it, he takes her to vladimir to join the crimson circle. hemomancy leads itself to a gateway of immortality for the worthy. wip thought but i'm thinking the real ryuuji was killed early on and leblanc is the ryuuji that convinces eden to join the black rose.eventually, eden finds herself also working for the black rose and she's sent to piltover to establish herself and a business called eden's bite, a lush casino. similar to her main verse, though again, extremely sized down. think of it more like a large mansion with related shops not inside the building, but externally attached on the street that she also owns. it has subterranean levels stretching down into zaun, that she operates as a safe haven for the people of zaun. eden funnels the funds from the public operations down to aid zaunites in secret, though there's nothing the black rose doesn't know. it's not a secret so much from the black rose as it is a secret from piltovans, though.

general fantasy. catch-all fantasy verse. i don't have an extensive post written for this yet, but basically girl has big dreams, girl travels to the big city, girl gambles, girl meets someone who she can't con for once, girl thinks it's love but it turns out it's not because he turns her into a vampire and abandons her. depending on the setting itself, eden may or may not have a casino. if the setting allows it, she probably does run some sort of gambling den / speakeasy / inn, but not to the massive scale as it is in her original verse, but she'd still be filthy rich. she will always settle in the most wealthy city in the universe after clawing her way up to wrest power into her hands. as always, specializes in blackmail to get what she wants from people of influence. she's kind of like if robin hood were a vampire and a black widow.

cyberpunk 2077. very much similar to eden's original main verse. enormous casino, hotel, big on fashion, but this time include access to cybernetics. in cyberpunk 2077, eden is a fixer from las vegas. i still need to write up a verse post for my actual au, but for now, please see this reddit post where i'm pulling a lot of the info from. eden can travel between night city and las vegas often, but usually remains fixed in las vegas. this verse can take on two different routes:

a segue / alternate route from her actual main verse, where she's a vampire having to navigate an evolving world where humans are, while still mortal, not as human as they used to be, and much harder to feed from.
a separate standalone cyberpunk 2077 au, where eden is still human and enchanted by ryuuji ( her sire, in her canon ) into nightlife. originally an edgerunner, eden works out of her family's business, which she later transforms into the empire it is today. ryuuji is a corpo who pushes her and gives her the tools to tap into her business acumen to skyrocket her business, which is eventually renamed into eden's bite. popular among corpos, her casino and hotel is a luxurious resort with an underground society for netrunners and edgerunners alike, with eden becoming a well-known fixer to the underground. ryuuji is heavily involved in arasaka research as part of the team for secure your soul. he convinces eden to join the project as a test subject so that they could live forever, together. something isn't quite right, though. something goes horribly wrong, and eden's personality isn't quite the same.

plot hooks.

this section is not all-inclusive, and will likely be updated as time goes on. the same information will be available on my carrd ( once i finish making my new one ). if you have other ideas for our muses, feel free to come message me! i'm posting this as a stepping stone / bare bones plots with no expiration date for anyone to grab hold of so that you have some idea on how to approach eden if you've been wondering how to break the ice! feel free to message me any time!here's a link to the tumblr post with the same exact information / text, though i may update this faster than i do my carrd to add more plot hooks. who knows!

all plot hooks — since i have a tag now, with multiple posts in it.
eden now canonically has a remote island inspired richard connell's "the most dangerous game." if you've ever read that story, you know what you're getting into.

main verse.

does your muse enjoy gambling? look no further than eden's bite, where there is every possible game imaginable. eden's even figured out how to monetize uno, of all things. and monopoly. there's anything for everyone. strangely child-friendly, but she's only out here to grift adults. eden's like that crazy wine aunt. ttrpg rooms available for rental. competitions for everything.
looking for information? think of eden like an information broker, of sorts. she's got her eyes, ears, and nose in all sorts of things, and all sorts of people. whether personally involved herself or whether she just knows someone or knows someone who knows someone who knows someone. everything has a price, though. and it isn't money that eden wants.
is your muse of inhuman origins? looking for a job, perhaps? eden might need to hire bounty hunters or PIs or clean-up crews from time to time!
or like, do you really need like, an actual job? a job-job? a job that maybe you have to report to the IRS? eden can get you one of those, too.
fan of music? perhaps you've heard of eden's band, PARADIE. she's its singer, song-writer, and instrumentalist. she's had a lot of time to learn basically every instrument and is a one-woman show, except for live shows, which are very rare and exclusive. something of a cult following, for sure.
or is your muse a producer, or in a band of their own? collaboration era!
what if our muses go way back. like, before the 21st century. especially if your muse in a modern world is not human, or a magically altered human.
do you need someone . . . taken care of? eden will eat them deal with them!
have you ever wondered how a vampire gets information out of someone? well, yeah, she's a master of compulsion, but she's also got an underground dungeon and torture room.

general fantasy.

perhaps your muse runs into eden in her earlier years, maybe even when she was human. she was much different back then. smiles more easily, laughs loudly. she travels a lot, and perhaps meets your muse along the way. she frequents places that have gambling games, as it's how she likes to earn her money. does your muse see her cheating? ask her to teach you how.
and what if your muse runs into her when she's just been turned? whether it's a first meeting, or they knew her when she was human. your muse could be a vampire hunter, or someone she spared. what does your muse do here?
or perhaps she's acting oddly, like she's hiding something. can't look your muse in the eye, stares a little too long at their necks. too sensitive, jumpy. disappears at odd times, refusal to step out into the sun. she's got a secret, now.
is your muse also a vampire? eden's been abandoned by her sire, got no clue what she is, what she's becoming, or what's wrong with her. perhaps your muse can help her.
ah, eden's got her thirst under control now, and finds herself at the top of society's echelon. did your muse know her before? you're an old friend, and for old friends, she trades in favors freely. or perhaps your muse has heard of a mysterious proprietress in the capital who seems to have the answer to everything, and great, great influence. do you need information, or a different kind of help that can't be posted to a public bulletin board?
you've just seen her kill someone, and quite viciously, too. well, seems we're at an impasse. what do we do now?

league of legends.

eden has complicated feelings about noxus, a lot of which she masks, because she's come this far because she wants to survive, has done what she needed to in order to survive and one day find out what happened to her family. is your muse a die hard noxian patriot? whether they follow swain's vision of noxus, or still subscribe to the mindset of darkwill's era.
eden's on a trip away from piltover / zaun, and your muse has just seen her consume someone's blood. what the hell are they supposed to do here. oh, god, is she coming toward you?
eden is very wealthy, and perhaps you're a piltovan innovator looking for a benefactor. eden has many reasons of her own to want to be involved in such a relationship.
is your muse a zaunite seeking refuge, looking to start a revolution, etc? eden has connections, wealth, and safety. she'll do what needs to be done to help you, if it means dismantling piltover and its corruption.

cyberpunk 2077.

note: unless it's known / plotted, eden's personality being on an engram is secret. it's cyberpunk 2077: everyone looks good for their age. people just assume so of eden, if they knew her prior. while eden also transforms the family business into eden's bite, it's not incredibly public knowledge that she's its CEO. need to know basis sort of thing, especially with her background of being a former edgerunner.

things are getting heated in night city, and maybe your muse is under a lot of scrutiny. take a trip out of night city and make your way over to las vegas for a vacation, or if you need information that you don't want being sourced back to night city.
vampire— perhaps it's not a well-known fact that supernatural beings exist among human society. your muse thinks it's kind of odd that eden doesn't seem to have any cyberware. like, at all. not even any body mods, like tattoos or piercings. something's off about her and they need to know.
your muse can hire eden as an edgerunner, or perhaps they're also an edgerunner or netrunner and they work together. on what? who knows!
eden's bite is an enormous casino & hotel empire that's well-known across the country. your muse works in the night life's underground and hears rumors through the vine of a fixer who works out of it, and maybe you're not happy with the fixers in night city. but, like all fixers, you meet eden and there is, of course, a catch.
vampire— it's harder than you think, finding a meal in the city these days. yeah, synthetic blood has long since been a thing, but it's disgusting. nothing beats fresh, warm blood, straight from the source. would your muse offer? could they?
