"Pens don't win battles and swords don't write poetry.” ✒ About me Hihi! I'm @olmlette, but you can call me Olly! I'm a OSC and DW fan (not one of the toxic shippers, dw ^^') who loves to procrastinate on life in general! I use any pronouns! ✒ Character you're applying for and why Pierce! I've been looking at the litter hub for this RP every now and then since i found someone's application for a kit in the first litter. Unfortunately, none of them (the kits in litter 1) clicked with me :( (upd. from the future: None of the other kits click with me either, the above statement still stands) And then, this litter. Lowkey me when i saw this: OO! New THC litter! *click* Arrow... cute *click* Aww, sillyness! *click* Oo Riddle's cutesy *click* ...STARS ABOVE- I'm pretty active, and I really like diving into how my characters interact with the world around them, using that to influence their stories! For Pierce, it would be especially interesting as I've never rped as a character w/ misophonia, which makes writing Pierce as a character different from my other experiences RPing! Ik that it's all up to the host's decision whether or not I get Pierce. I'd be happy knowing I tried, at least, and got my ideas down! "By the sword are mortal battles waged, but by the pen entire cultures swayed." ✒ Personality (+) Clever, ambitious, observant (=) Collected, cautious, judgmental (-) Cynical, manipulative, cold Detailed: Pierce is a cat whose mind works fast, being to easily come up with witty comebacks to any situation without overreacting. She thinks of others as pawns for her to toy with, as characters for her to write her own tale. She is very picky about who she is friends with, and refuses to interact with any cat of what she deems lower intelligence. Pierce isn't above toying with other's emotions, and lives for the drama and power. Clever - Pierce's mind works quickly, and she can easily process information. Ambitious - The author's goals are the most important thing to her. She will do anything to achieve them. Observant - The author doesn't simply say. She describes. Pierce prides herself in the way she makes connections and notices small details, though she sometimes does miss the bigger picture. Collected - The author doesn't overreact. Cautious - Pierce thinks before acting. Sometimes, a bit much. This affects her ability to make friends, and she will often be seen around higher-ranking and older cats due to her deeming them safe and acceptable company. Judgemental - The author believes the characters in her story are inferior to her, and will only interact with those she deems worthy of her time. As mentioned, Pierce is often seen around older and higher-ranking cats. It is because of this exact reason. Cynical - Her goals are the most important thing to her, and she is willing to do anything and fake anything for her own personal gain. Manipulative - The author likes to toy with the emotions of the characters in her tale. It makes the story interesting, and drives conflict. Cold - The author doesn't /bond/ with her subjects. In fact, she is offended you ever thought she would!! ✒ Pronouns and Sexuality Pierce will start with she/her, and keep those as her pronouns. However, she doesn't like being referred to as a 'she-cat', and instead prefers for others to simply refer to her as a cat. Pierce identifies as apagenderflux and non-binary, and typically doesn't actually care (or think) too much about her gender. She likes she/her enough to keep it as her only pronoun set. She is pan, with a preference for androgynous cats. ✒ Nicknames Absolutely /none/. Pierce doesn't do nicknames. However, if a cat of a higher rank gives her one (older cats do not count. Older is not equal to wiser to Pierce, she'll simply grin and bear it. She does go by the epithets 'The Author', 'The Poet' and 'The Scribe'. and will allow others to refer to her as those. ✒ Roleplay experience I've been RPing for abt 1-2 years, though I've honestly lost track. I did a bit of RPing in early 2024, but i /really/ got into it during the last few months of 2024 and early 2025. I took a break during 2025, and now I'm back >:D ✒ Research: Misophonia - ✒ Activity Level (1-10) 6-8/10 I am on for at least 40 min a day to respond to threads! Outside this, I have Sundogpaw and Gamekit, and those two are both part of semi-grindy rps. However! I believe I can properly balance out this with them (since im also planning to leave gens after Sunny due to it being a little too grindy and it being very hard to get exp (and also warriorhood which means i don't have to/can't grind as much), and I rp with Gamekit a lot less. Upd: everything's chill, im in TSS now tho ✒ Trivia “Hold your pen and spare your voice.” ✒ Pierce designed by Litter hosted by / Music is Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos Click for art!
