Bio


give me all the vampire romance RPs


Hello, friends!

I'm Lettie! I'm a 27-year-old lady living in Wisconsin with my wonderful husband, two cats, and a flock of chickens.

I'm a bit of an RPG veteran; I joined somewhere between 2010-2011 (before the Guildfall of 2015), and spent many of my teenage years on this site, frequenting the Spam forum (see: racking up infraction points) or relentlessly refreshing the page, waiting on RP replies.

Not much has changed.

I've been quite on-and-off in my activity here over the years (err, decades. God, I'm old.), but with the way life is going currently, I'm hoping to become a semi-permanent fixture around here once more!

While I enjoy the occasional group RP, I am a big sucker for a good romance, which doesn't always translate well there. (I am also victim to the Group RP Curse: they get abandoned pretty quickly in my experience.) Therefore, you'll most likely find me in a series of 1x1s.

I like to think of myself as a high-casual/low-advanced writer. I think I could certainly exceed that if necessary, but the RPs I tend to participate in often only require 3-7 paragraphs to get the point across, however detailed, rather than a short novel. Not that I'm opposed, but I'm no Dickens -- I'm not going to make the description of the tip of a pen last 6 pages if I don't feel like it adds anything to the story.

I am all about ~the vibes~. I will make playlists, AI fan art, Pinterest moodboards, etc. involving our characters. I'll find gifs and images that resemble the settings, to add visual appeal. I like to go back and format my posts so they're more aesthetically pleasing. I am a gushy person and fall in love with the stories rather easily. If you'd rather I didn't share these things with you, let me know!

When I'm not spamming the refresh button here, I can usually be found with my nose in a book, or playing video games (think more Animal Crossing and TLOZ, less COD or Overwatch and the like). I'm a software engineer, though I'm on a bit of a sabbatical at the moment, so I guess I'm more of a stay-at-home wife.

My 1x1 Interest Check can be found here.

I like to think I'm a pretty friendly and open person, so if you'd like to bring an RP idea to my attention, or just chat and tell me about your day (or send me pictures of your cats), my DMs are always open! I'm also happy to add folks on other socials and make friends!

As Finrod's words hung in the air between them, Lyra felt a surge of both excitement and apprehension. His confirmation that he, too, had experienced the inexplicable vision confirmed her suspicions, stirring a whirlwind of emotions within her.

He saw it too, she thought, her mind racing to make sense of it all, But how? What does it mean?

As she mulled over the implications, memories of her own visions flooded her mind, fragments of her past intertwined with cryptic messages. Visions that alluded to events long-buried in her memory, secrets she had kept hidden even from herself. How could anyone possibly know such intimate details of her life? The thought sent a shiver down her spine, a chill of unease mingled with a flicker of curiosity.

Divine intervention, she mused, her thoughts driifting to the gods of Skyrim, beings she had never paid much attention or heed to in the past. Or perhaps... something else entirely.

As she surveyed the tavern, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the patrons, she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. Had the old woman in the rocking chair, who was sound asleep now, been observing them all along, or was it merely a trick of the mind, a remnant of the visions that still lingered at the edges of her consciousness?

With a decisive nod, Lyra rose from her seat, her determination fueling her actions as she gestured for Finrod to follow. "Not here," she whispered, her voice barely above a murmur as she led him towards the tavern's exit. As she stepped outside into the cool evening air, she cast a fleeting glance over her shoulder, her senses on high alert for any signs of unwanted attention.

Unbeknownst to either of them, the old woman stirred from her slumber, her eyes gleaming with an eerie light as she rose to her feet, a silent observer to their every move.
As the world slowly righted itself around the, Lyra found herself locked in Finrod's gaze, her heart still pounding from the surreal experience she was now sure they had just shared. She watched as he withdrew his hand abruptly, his movements tense and uncertain, a mirror to the turmoil swirling within her own mind.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, the weight of unspoken questions hanging heavy in the air between them. Lyra's lips parted, ready to break the silence, but she hesitated, uncertainty gnawing at the edges of her thoughts. Was he experiencing the same confusion and disbelief that she was feeling, or was this all part of some elaborate ruse?

As Finrod quickly finished the remnants of his mead and rose to his feet, Lyra's suspicions flared to life once more. Was he trying to escape, to avoid facing the truth of what had just transpired? The thought sent a surge of anger coursing through her veins, her guard rising instinctively to shield her from any potential deception.

"I'll get my own," she declared in response to his query, her voice firm as she rose to her feet, her movements deliberate and controlled. With a measured pace, she made her way to the bar, her eyes never leaving Finrod's form as she ordered another drink for herself. She punched herself mentally, realizing she barely had enough money for this drink, and a room for the night.

Returning to their seat, Lyra settled back, her eyes narrowing as she studied Finrod's expression for any sign of deceit. Had he drugged her? She took a slow sip of her drink, the liquid burning a fiery trail in its wake, her senses on high alert as she awaited any additional response from him.

"So," she began, her voice steady despite the tumultuous storm raging within her, "What do you make of all that?" Her words hung in the air between them, a silent challenge daring him to speak the truth, whatever it may be.
Across the room, the old woman who had been dozing in the rocking chair stirred, her eyes now wide awake and fixed on the two elves with keen interest.

As Lyra's hand met Finrod's, a strange sensation washed over her, as if the very fabric of reality were shifting beneath her feet. The room blurred and wavered before her eyes, the sounds of the tavern fading into the distance as she was enveloped in a surreal haze.

Suddenly, she was no longer in the Bannered Mare. The familiar warmth of the hearth was replaced by an ethereal glow, bathing the surroundings in an otherworldly light. The air hummed with a soft, melodic resonance, as if the very essence of magic itself danced upon the breeze.

And then, she heard it -- the voice. Soft and soothing, yet imbued with an otherworldy power that sent shivers down her spine. It spoke her name, a whisper on the wind that seemed to resonate within her soul.

"Lyra," it called, the syllables echoing through the caverns of her mind, "You have been chosen."

She tried to respond, to form words, but her voice failed her, lost in the vast expanse of the void. Instead, she listened, her heart pounding in her chest. The voice continued, but seemed to fade in and out. "Prophecy..." she heard, "Destiny..."

"You are destined for greatness," the voice continued, its words weaving a tapestry of fate and fortune. "But you cannot walk this path alone. The man beside you is vital to your journey, bound to you by threads older than time itself."

As the voice spoke, visions flickered before Lyra's eyes -- ancient ruins bathed in moonlight, symbols etched in forgotten tongues, and objects of power beyond mortal comprehension. Each image held a promise, a glimpse of what awaited her on the horizon.

And then, as suddenly as it had begun, the vision faded, leaving Lyra blinking in the dim light of the tavern once more. She glanced at Finrod beside her, wide-eyed, waiting for confirmation to see if he too experienced what she just did.

Her mind raced with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty. Was it real, or merely a trick of the mind brought on by too much skooma? She shook her head, resolving to lay off the substances in the future. Whatever the truth may be, one thing was certain -- her journey was only just beginning.
Lyra studied the High Elf for a moment, noting the guarded look in his eyes and the tension that seemed to radiate from his every pore. Did elves have pores? She could relate to his apprehension, the familiar weight of distrust settling in her chest.

"Well, enjoying might be a stretch," she replied, a wry smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Looks more like you're contemplating the mysteries of the universe in that mug of yours."

She took a sip of her own drink, the warmth of the mead soothing the edges of her nerves. Despite his reluctance to engage, there was something about him that intrigued her, a quiet intensity that belied his stoic exterior.

"Name's Lyra, by the way," she continued, gleefully extending a hand in greeting. "And you?"
The bard's melodies faded into the background as the tavern filled with the lively chatter of patrons, the soft glow of lanterns casting long shadows across the worn wooden floors. Noon was quickly giving way to early evening, the passage of time marked by the steady stream of newcomers filtering into the tavern. Lyra bristled a bit, not sure if she wanted to be bothered with all the people.

Her gaze drifted lazily across the room, her eyes drawn to the figure of another elf who had just entered. He wasn't particularly remarkable, but the sight of another of her kind never failed to catch her attention. A High Elf, she noted with a twinge of curiosity, their presence in Skyrim an anomaly in itself.

She vaguely recalled whispers of some historical blood-feud between their races, but the details eluded her, lost in the hazy fog of her minimal knowledge of history. She pushed the thought aside, opting instead to quietly observe the newcomer as he mingled with other patrons.

The last remnants of her meal disappeared slowly, her decision to stay the night solidified. The familiar routine of seeking refuge in a the warmth of a tavern's walls felt comforting, a temporary reprieve.

With a determined stride, Lyra made her way back to the bar, where Hulda stood pouring drinks. She signaled for another mead, her hand trembling slightly as she downed it in a single gulp. The alcohol burned a bit as it slid down her throat, its effects mingling with the remnants of skooma from the night before. The room began to spin slightly, warmth enveloping her senses as she leaned against the bar for support.

"Another round, lass?" Hulda's voice cut through the fog, her concern evident in the furrow of her brow. Lyra waved her off with a dismissive gesture, a lopsided grin tugging at her lips. "Just taking the edge off, Hulda," she quipped, her words slurring slightly as she gratefully accepted a third mead.

With a wobbly step, Lyra returned to her previous spot on the bench, her eyes drawn once again to the enigmatic High Elf who sat nearby. He seemed distant, lost in his own thoughts, a shadow of melancholy lingering around him like a shroud. Feeling a surge of boldness fueled by liquid courage, Lyra scooted closer, her curiosity piqued by the air of sadness that surrounded him.

"Hey there, stranger," she chirped, her words a tad too loud in the intimate confines of the tavern. "What's got you looking so glum? Someone steal your sweetroll?" She chuckled at her own joke, though the elf looked less than amused. Undeterred, Lyra pressed on, determined to break through his icy demeanor with her irreverent charm. Did she have charm? She was about to find out.

Lyra was sitting alone at a worn wooden table, taking in the dimly lit interior of the Bannered Mare, her plate of food half-eaten before her. The tavern bustled with activity, even at midday. The air was thick with the aroma of hearty stew and spiced mead. She took a moment to observe her surroundings, the flickering candlelight casting shadows across the rough-hewn walls adorned with faded tapestries and mounted trophies from past hunts. The tavern felt warm and inviting, a sanctuary amidst the chaos of the outside world.

Her gaze wandered to the other patrons scattered throughout the room, each lost in their own conversations and thoughts. At one corner table, a group of weary travelers huddled together, their faces weathered by the harsh realities of life on the road. Nearby, a pair of jovial miners swapped tales of their latest exploits, their laughter echoing against the wooden beams overhead.

Behind the bar, Hulda bustled about, her apron stained with ale and mead as she tended to the needs of the patrons with practiced efficiency. Lyra offered her a small nod of acknowledgement, grateful for her matronly presence in the tavern full of mostly men. She knew if anyone tried to give her any shit, she would have back-up.

In a corner of the room, an old woman slept soundly in a rocking chair, her weathered features softened by the flickering firelight. Lyra couldn't help but smile at the sight, the rhythmic creaking of the chair lulling her into a sense of tranquility.

As she considered purchasing a room for the evening, Lyra's thoughts drifted back to her meager coin purse. The prospect of spending her hard-earned septims weighed heavily on her mind, uncertainty gnawing at her conscience. She made a mental note to check her funds later, determined to make the most of her limited resources.

The crackling fire stirred memories long buried within Lyra's subconscious, transporting her back to a similar tavern, the one she'd mostly grown up in. She remembered her mother, a barmaiden with a kind heart and a steely resolve, who had worked tirelessly to provide for her family. But the patrons of that tavern were a different breed altogether, rough and rowdy criminals whose leering hazes and suggestive remarks had haunted Lyra since childhood. She recalled the faces of the men who had made her skin crawl, their cruel taunts and racial slurs cutting deep into her soul.

Shaking off the memories of her past, Lyra refocused her attention on the present, the sound of a bard playing Ragnar the Red on his lyre pulling her back to reality. She took a deep breath, letting the familiar melody wash over her, a reminder of the simple joys to be found amidst the chaos of life in Skyrim.
As she traversed the entrance to Whiterun, Lyra passed a blacksmith shop called "Warmaidens". She beamed at the name, appreciating a bit of female representation, rare where she came from. She made a mental note to visit later, her eyes lingering on the gleaming weapons displayed in the storefront. Though tempted by the prospect of acquiring a new blade, she couldn't bear to part with her trusty mace, despite its worn appearance and the memories it carried. And she was rather over-encumbered as it was.

As she traversed to the central market, Lyra observed the diverse array of passerby, each lost in their own thoughts and pursuits. Despite the undercurrent of racial tension that lingered in the air, even here, she noted with a sense of relief the relative harmony that seemed to exist among the different races within the bustling square.

Her attention was drawn to Arcadia's Cauldron, the alchemy shop nestled among the various stalls and vendors. With her supply of potions dwindling, Lyra resolved to visit later, her mind already calculating the ingredients she would need to replenish her stock.

Eavesdropping on a nearby conversation, Lyra caught snippets of dialogue regarding "The Companions." They seemed, from context, to be a local league of fighters renowned for their prowess in battle. At one point, the woman referred to the man as a "dog", and Lyra wasn't sure if it was meant with affection or as an insult. The casual exchange between the heavily armed woman and man piqued Lyra's curiosity, prompting her to file away the information for future reference.

Finally, Lyra arrived at the threshold of the Bannered Mare, the welcoming glow of the hearth beckoning her inside. Stepping through the door, she was greeted by the comforting aroma of hearty stew and spiced mead, her mouth watering at the prospects of both.

Approaching the bar, Lyra exchanged a nod with the barmaiden. She ordered a plate of food and a cold mead, settling into a nearby bench, her senses attuned to the lively chatter that filled the tavern.

As she savored her meal, Lyra reflected on the events of the past weeks, her mind drifting to the adventures that might await her in the city of Whiterun. With each passing moment, she felt a building anticipation, eager, for once, to embrace whatever challenges lay ahead. Maybe she would make it after all.
Oathbreakers



In the rugged expanse of Skyrim, where ancient ruins
and towering mountains reign, two unlikely companions find themselves
bound by fate and driven by a shared quest for redemption. Lyra, a
hardened Dark Elf with a past shrouded in shadows, and her enigmatic
companion, Finrod Morningstar, an Altmer elf of the Aldmeri Dominion,
traverse the unforgiving landscape, haunted by the ghosts of their past.

United by a common goal, they embark on a perilous journey that will
test their resolve and challenge their beliefs. From the depths of
forgotten dungeons to the peaks of snow-capped mountains, they
encounter allies and adversaries alike, each holding a piece of
the puzzle that will unravel the mysteries of their intertwined destinies.

Uncovering secrets along the way, they are thrust into a world of
intrigue and betrayal, where loyalties are tested and alliances
forged in blood. With the fate of Skyrim hanging in the balance,
Lyra and Finrod must navigate treacherous terrain and confront the
demons of their past, lest they succumb to the darkness that
threatens to consume them.

In a land torn asunder by war and strife, where dragons soar
and legends come to life, the path to redemption is fraught
with peril. Will Lyra and Finrod rise above their pasts and fulfill
their destiny, or will they succumb to the shadows that lurk
within their souls? Only time will tell in this epic tale of
honor, betrayal, and the enduring power of companionship.
Lyra awakened slowly inside the cramped confines of her tent, the thin fabric barely shielding her eyes from the harsh morning light that streamed through. A dull ache pounded in her temples, a bitter reminder of the revelry that had ensued the night before. She rubbed her eyes groggily, her hand instinctively reaching for the smoothness of her steel mace at her side. She coughed, the taste of skooma lingering on her tongue as she struggled to piece together the events of the previous evening.

Outside, the Khajiit caravan bustled with activity, their distant chatter filling the air. Lyra pushed herself up from her makeshift bedroll, her joints protesting the movement after a night spent on uneven ground. With practiced ease, she donned her worn leather armor, the familiar weight of her bow and mace offering a comforting reassurance.

Exiting the tent, Lyra squinted against the bright sunlight, momentarily disoriented by her surroundings. The caravan had come to a halt just beyond the outskirts of Whiterun, the towering walls of the city casting a protective shadow over the surrounding landscape. She adjusted the straps of her pack, her mind already drifting to the allure of coin and opportunity that waited within the city's walls.

She thanked her hosts, exchanging pleasantries and graciously accepting a cut of meat from their cooking breakfast. The khajiit had been kind to her, and she would not forget their faces -- J'zagar, a male with dark fur and darker stripes, had insisted she join them several nights before, and they'd had a good enough time that she'd almost forgotten she had nothing but the clothes on her back to make her way through the world with.

As she approached the city's gate, her steps faltered as she encountered the imposing figure of a city guard. His armor gleamed in the sunlight, a stark contrast to the dusty roads and worn leather she'd grown accustomed to. His gaze lingered on Lyra with a predatory gleam, his smirk sending a shiver down her spine.

"And where do you think you're off to, lass?" he sneered, his tone laced with thinly veiled innuendo. His eyes roamed over her form, lingering a moment too long. She stifled a gag.

Lyra bristled, her jaw clenched with barely contained frustration. With a defiant tilt of her chin, she met his gaze head-on, refusing to be intimidated. "Just passing through," she retorted, her voice dripping with malice as she attempted to brush past him. Before she could make her way past, she felt a large hand wrap around her upper arm. "Dangerous," the man said, his eyes burning into her, "A girl wandering around in the wilderness all by herself. If you're here to cause trouble... you know where to find me." He seemed satisfied with himself, and released her arm as if he were doing her a service. She gritted her teeth, refusing to look back as she made her way through the gate, relieved that the task had come with relative ease.

As she navigated the bustling streets of Whiterun, her mind settled on all the contrasts from the Gray Quarter of Windhelm, where she'd been raised, images flooding her mind. She recalled the dilapidated streets, the whispered taunts, and the leering gazes of the patrons of the tavern where her mother worked. Even amidst the hardship, there was a warmth. Her mother's gentle voice, her father's reassuring and sturdy presence. But they were no longer here to offer such a reprieve.

But she was here. She'd made it. Whiterun had been her destination for weeks, and she wasn't sure she would make it alive. Her gambling earnings tinkled lightly in her pocket as she walked, and her eyes fell on a tavern that she knew would be the first of her expenditures -- a cold drink on this unseasonably sunny day felt like just the right luxury she could allow herself.

With renewed determination, Lyra pressed forward, her gaze fixed on the promise of a new day. Forged in the crucible of adversity, she was a survivor, unyielding. As she stepped into the heart of Whiterun, she knew that whatever trials lay ahead, she would face head-on, with fire in her soul and steel in her hand.
