PSA : if your muse is anyway inhuman or believes in the divine, they will be able to see amaterasu’s true form ( her red markings, etc ), if they do not then they will see a normal white wolf.
INTRO . i’ve had this blog for about 5+ years now, and over that time she has adapted and developed into what she is today as i’m writing her currently. this portrayal of amaterasu takes heavy inspiration from the shinto faith and japanese folklore. however i am not japanese, thus everything i know comes from the research i’ve done over the years up to now so if anything i post is harmful or offensive in anyway, please do not hesitate to correct me.
WRITER . before i forget to introduce myself, i’m gabby ! i’m 21+ and i go by she / her pronouns.
DON’T BE AN AWFUL PERSON . homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, any form of anti lgbtq bigotry and racism will absolutely NOT be tolerated in any shape or form. if you also condone or romanticise noncon, abuse, pedopihlia or incest in fiction it will result in a hardblock from me.
ACTIVITY . real life can be very hectic for me, as i'm currently working, and i tend to not put tumblr as my main focus. my reply speed can range anywhere from a few hours to a few days or weeks. please do not pester me for replies to threads or messages, i will get to them in time.
FORMAT . anything goes ! i do use icons and formatting to an extent, but i am more than willing to go iconless for threads. what fuels me most as a writer is interesting narratives, dynamics and scenarios. i do ask for you to tag and trim your posts though.
FOLLOWING / UNFOLLOWING . my following policy is focused around whether or not i see our characters having a future interaction together, but in general i am following you because i want to write with you! please do not expect me to follow back everyone or follow for follow. i will only unfollow if there is a large amount of out of character posts, untagged negativity posts and long spouts inactivity.
SHIPPING . shipping is not a big part of this blog. if our characters have wonderful chemistry that may lead into something much deeper that’s great ! i am all for exploring amaterasu’s interactions and dynamics with other characters. i will be multi-ship, but only with one portrayal of said character, and i’m more than open to having pre - established relationships.
MAIN
reset the sadness
... ...set after the events of the game...
amaterasu has conquered the darkness which threatened to spill over across nippon. she has saved the mortal world & now seeks to restore the heavens. with her full powers now realised, she is no longer contained inside her former weakened vessel, she journeys onward. past the stars. into the wild, expansive cosmos.
PAST
prologue
... set before the events of the game...
prior to takamagahara’s fall, during an age when the gods thrived under an eternal spring - summer cusp. these are the golden days before the stars came tumbling down, when amaterasu was also known as the white wild majesty.
CANON DIVERGENT
sidequest
... for any interactions during in - game...
amaterasu will almost always have a certain little bouncing friend tagging along with her. this can also incorporate any spin off media amaterasu has been featured in, such as marvel vs capcom 3.
