Intentful (+Hitomi)

|| { † } Homura spent the rest of that night rather disorientated as well, not to mention anxious. No doubt was she anxious about her reckless actions concerning Shizuki Hitomi coming back to bite her with said girl remembering the events suddenly; it would completely destroy whatever progress was made in this timeline. Not to mention how it would be entirely the vampire’s fault. Of all of her victims, this one was one she decided to falter on…how disappointing, to be quite frank.

Though, not only was there that anxiety, there was…something else plaguing the back of her mind. Something reminiscent of worry, concern, guilt… emotions she thought herself to be incapable of feeling. It was an unclear fog, but the question of why couldn’t keep itself from entering her thoughts multiple instances that night. Why was she worried about Shizuki Hitomi?

She was quite reluctant to show up at school the next morning, but the notion of keeping surveillance over both Madoka and Hitomi outweighed her overwhelming uncertainty. Homura made it priority to at least keep an eye on Hitomi, and if anything did happen during school, the vampire could deal with her in the way she should have dealt with her the night before (if Hitomi did come into school in the first place, that was). Even though that did mean Madoka being upset and heavily affected, at least she wasn’t upset and heavily affected by her. Emotional vulnerability would definitely convince Madoka to listen – as learnt from her reaction to deaths such as Tomoe Mami’s and Miki Sayaka’s in the past.

These things encumbered her mind as she mechanically went through her familiar mourning routine. The cold tea Hitomi left still sat on the desk, accompanied by an assortment of dry cookies. That could just be cleaned up later, Homura decided; she had more pressing tasks to get to. The journey to school was mundane as usual, as was the short walk to the classroom.

As she entered, her eyes flicked keenly across the students already within. It came as a mild surprise that Hitomi was indeed in school today. She seemed like the type to have always shown up in class even if she was supposed to be bedridden after all, but at the same time it wasn’t likely that she’d experienced the effects of a vampire bite in the past. Of all the things to keep her at home, Homura would have guessed at least almost dying would be it.

On some kind of whim, the thought almost made her feel…responsibility. She wasn’t supposed to feel guilty about killing anymore, but because she’d spared Hitomi for whatever reason, it was if she felt something like a twisted responsibility over her life. Would that explain why she was so hospitable last night? No, couldn’t be, she’d had selfish motives behind her actions, however friendly they might have been. But even so…

Not even paying thought to how she’d looked past Madoka and Sayaka, Homura stepped through the sea of desks and stood over a rather pale and tired-looking Hitomi. Going by the lack of frantic response it was quite safe to assume how Hitomi hadn’t remembered.

❝ Good morning Shizuki-san. I hope you managed a better sleep after last night. How are you feeling? I have to wonder why you didn’t just stay home to rest for the day. ❞

House Rules

This blog is rather set on dark and emotionally-heavy themes, focusing particularly on Homura’s descent into madness and how her own mind and lust for a completed goal has twisted her into a literal monster. As you can tell, this is an AU of sorts. Think Homura's ability to unconsciously warp reality in Rebellion; that sort of logic applies here.

The key thing to remember is how Homura is not a vampire in the traditional sense--rather something halfway between a Magical Girl and a Witch. The part of her that demands life energy to survive comes from her Witch side. This is explained in full in the details page.

This blog is multifandom and selective, meaning that I will interact with mutuals only. I always check out followers' blogs and their rules, but I may not necessarily always follow back. This is not because I do not like your blog or your character, but most likely because I cannot see our characters interacting, or too much OOC content is posted. I appreciate OOC interaction, however!

The main set timeline for this blog is ‘Homura has just transferred into Mitakihara’ upon initial interaction. Something also worth mentioning is that for a few hundred timelines in Homura's universe, Walpurgisnacht hasn't happened, and so is unlikely to happen in this one.

Multi-ship. Each ship/interaction will take place in its own timeline. I generally don't romantically ship Homura anyway, but when it does it will have to happen with chemistry.

No smut will happen on this blog. Any heated situations will fade to black once intimate enough. Besides, Homura's physical age is that of a minor.

Anything that could trigger in particular (that is not to be expected with the nature of this blog, eg. blood) will be tagged. Though if anything regarding Vampirism wigs you out, I really don't recommend following for the sake of your comfort.

Homura can’t be killed, and even in the rare instances where she does ‘die’, she is immediately resurrected by her magic. Therefore, please do not try and kill her and expect her to stay dead. See here for more information about why that is. However, she can be badly hurt/incapacitated-- though please try to tell me before you plan on doing so.

Unprompted greeters/starters tend to throw me a bit, so please tell me beforehand if you want to interact! Whether it's a personal message or a like of my starter call, I don't mind, as long as I'm aware of it first.

All icons, graphics, ideas, etc are mine and are not up for grabs. I have spent a lot of time and effort into developing this muse so if anything is stolen I will probably be very sad :'( Please do not take anything without asking me first. Art credits are listed in my credits page.

I am very forgetful so please be patient with me. I'm somehow great at losing threads so come talk to me if you've been waiting on me for a while and you wish to continue.

Concerning the Mun: hello, my name is Andy! I'm an aspiring musician from the UK. My pronouns are She/They and I'm in my late teens. I'm a student in college and I work a job, so as a result I may be quite busy most of the time. However, I have a skype and a personal blog that can be asked for should you wish to reach me!

     For my best friend. 

     
If it's for her, what I become does not matter anymore. What I make myself does not matter anymore. I am a monster, but at least with some excuse.

- In Summary -

This Homura is a Half Magical Girl, Half Witch, plus borderline insane as a result of the horrors she has witnessed in repeating the same month over and over hundreds of times. She was the one who brought her 'Vampire' act onto herself by unwittingly manipulating her own mind until it became a hell she had no choice but to live.

- Vampirism -

After ten years of being lost in time, the sand in Homura's time shield finally ran out- stripping her of her main source of magic. However, her goal of saving Madoka still hadn't been fulfilled. The only way she could carry on and keep living was to sacrifice her own life energy for the exchange of more magic. Though, using such powerful time magic warranted the consumption of plenty more energy than she already had-- thus began her drinking of human blood to replenish her power over time and, in turn, her own life.

Her thirst for blood is really a thirst for the time energy in an unfinished human life. Homura didn't want to admit how far she had fallen, so she subconsciously created the lie that she was a 'vampire' around herself as a coping mechanism. Over time, her biology warped --and she soon found herself completely dependent on only blood to survive.

Homura has lost the ability to die. Until her wish of saving Madoka is finally granted, the potent karmic destiny that has been accumalating around her for so many years will always bring her back to life without fail. For this, she has no choice but to keep travelling in time and pursuing her goal -- however ambiguous it may be by now.

- History -

Taking a life to keep herself living was an act that Homura initially thought she could never forgive herself for. Her first kill for blood left her traumatised and almost caused her to fall to despair. Though she knew she couldn't give up on her task, so she kept going while being merciful when she could.

At some point, she was caught by an underground institute that had been monitoring Magical Girl activity, whilst she was stealing weapons. She spent the month captured and tortured for information --constrained so she couldn't use her magic to escape. She learnt the hard way of the differences between Magical Girl and human after enduring such torment and, after seizing a chance to finally escape,

murdered and drank the blood of each scientist in her way.

A bloodbath had resulted of her first 'snap'. After the rampage, she wanted to accept that she was a killer but knew that if she realised what she truly was it would be enough to make her go mad. And so her 'vampire' façade began to subconsciously stage-- to give herself an 'excuse' for killing people both for survival and progress, an excuse which meant that Madoka's will would not go ignored.

- Existence -

Homura doesn't think of herself as 'alive' anymore, and therefore doesn't value the lives of others as well as her own. She believes that her true death took place when her time sand ran out. She is callous, cold and merciless and cares only for some certain others. After her month in captivity, she has developed a loathing for mankind as she's realised the extent of human greed and the truth behind their nature. Her only purpose now is defeating the Incubators, being at a futile war with fate.

Occasionally she has been known to use and toy with the feelings of others for her own personal gain, including using them as a free meal and a 'release' for surpressed emotions. This is usually done without remorse.

- Strengths -

Beautiful and dangerous, Homura Akemi is clever, athletic and incredibly mysterious. As both a Magical Girl and a 'vampire', Homura is in no doubt powerful. Having lived for so long, she is experienced with her magic and weaponry. She is very fast with incredible reflexes. Her keen perceptions have adapted to be able to sense the strength of blood and energy around her. She is shrewd, calculating and determined, and will stop at nothing if she has a goal.

She has the magic ability to freeze time once in her Magical Girl outfit, and to use her shield to reset the timeline back one month once things go awry enough. She also has the ability to travel and manoeuver quickly with ease. Homura has fangs (which she uses magic to conceal), and when hungry or irritated enough, her eyes might also glow a deep shade of red. Her power of hypnotism is in development, but she has the natural ability of manipulation within her.

- Weaknesses -

Homura's main weakness in terms of magic is being constricted. Although she's strong, if the binds are tight enough, she cannot use her magic to get herself out of the situation. This kind of circumstance leaves her very vulnerable -- but fortunately for her, not many have figured that out yet.

Her other weakness is how easily exhausted and irresponsible she can be after using bouts of her magic, especially if she's low on blood. For this, she will hunt and drink quite regularly--leaving plenty of opportunity for enemies to attack while she is weak/hungry. She hunts during the night as, while sunlight doesn't burn her, it tends to drain her of her energy. Inspired by vampire lore, she is sensitive to religious imagery and holy water. If staked, she will be sent into a state of comatose until she can be nursed to health with blood by whoever can find her in time.

The more tainted her soul gem, the more hysteric and insanity-driven she will become. A completely grief-consumed gem means chaos and bloodshed for Homura and everyone around her until she can drink enough blood (though the required amount of blood to return to some degree of sanity tends to result in destructive mass murder -- much like what happened in the Facility).

Destroying her soul gem would not affect her; it would just reform. Homura physically cannot die, for if she is killed, her karmic automatically brings her back to life (most of the time against her own will).

Homura's Journal

Credits

Headcanons

V1. BLOODSTAINED

THE MAINVERSE/USED AS DEFAULT.

Halfway between a Magical Girl and a Witch, Homura fights to stay sane, using the guise of a 'Vampire' to deter her mind from accepting what she truly is. Having looped for what could be over a century's worth of years due to the Incubators' sadistic game, she does wonder how much longer she can keep trying to save Madoka before inevitably succumbing to bloodlust.

SUBVERSE 1- VERSE V

VERSE SHARED WITH FANCIULLAVERDE. VARIANT OF MAINVERSE.

Fighting with Madoka has its consequences as Homura finds that her affections have somehow shifted onto a certain green-haired rich girl, Shizuki Hitomi. Of course Homura would deal with that by trying to kill said girl, albeit surprising herself when she finds she can't stop saving the one who's already dug her pristine and proper nails into the Vampire's zombified heart.

SUBVERSE 2- VAGABOND

VAMPIRE HOMURA TAKES ON A KYOUKO SAKURA LIFESTYLE.

In which Homura has given up on enrolling into Mitakihara High, and now wanders the city streets instead. Hoodie-clad and technically unregistered, Homura lives dedicating her time to hunting Incubators and snacking on yet more civilians. She's developed a tendency to be capricious, and is almost never seen without a smirk and an unhinged gleam in her eye.

V2. IMMORTAL

TEXTBOOK VAMPIRE VERSE. TIME MOVES IN LINEAR AND MAGIC IS UNHEARD OF.

Born as a young orphan girl in 18th century Edo Japan, she was sired seventeen years later by an individual only known as "Q". Standing the trials of time and witnessing the dawn of a new world, Homura walks the Earth today as a Creature of the Night -- the Vampire. Unaware of the magical world; most of her encounters take place after sundown. Homura's personality mostly resembles Akuma Homura in this universe. Her reasons for pursuing the maiden known as Kaname Madoka are unknown.

V3. MODERN

COLLEGE AU. HUMAN, UNFORTUNATELY.

Homura, 19 years of age, an apathetic nerd who likes grape juice and also to pretend she's undead (the aloof and mysterious disposition helps) mainly so she doesn't have to deal with the reality of how she's stuck with The Roomate From Hell and a forever-unrequited crush on that pink-haired girl down the hall.
