» Favorite photos of Sebastian Stan [203/?]
Rattle. Fandomless OC from an as yet untitled, unfinished novel set in a dystopian future. Initially created in 2012, assigned a Sebastian Stan fc in 2013, adapted & brought to tumblr as a 1x1 in 2014. Rebooted July 2018. Inspired loosely by Marvel's mutants & Infamous Second Son.
Drama. Hate it. I don't give a shit about what fc you use or what topics you roleplay on your blog. Hate callout culture too, as well as tumblr's increasingly puritanical bullshit. I won't follow anyone who calls for content policing, bullies, political shitposters, social justice nutjobs who see everything through a problematic lens. Fuck off and let people roleplay in peace.
Courtesy. Behave like an adult, respect the common rules of roleplay (no powerplaying / godmodding / metagaming), don't pressure for replies and talk to me if you have a problem. Despite the tone of these rules, I don't actually bite.
Following. I'm private and selective not because I'm 'elitist' or some bullshit like that, but for my own mental health. I'm a full time carer for my dad who suffers with severe Alzheimer's, I can't follow everyone and I have to pick and choose carefully. Don't take it personally if I don't follow you, it's all on me.
Shipping. It's nice, sure, but it gets very boring very quickly. If chemistry is there then I'll consider it, but Rattle himself comes with several issues regarding intimacy before he'll even consider sex. On that note, I don't smut. I'll do foreplay and heavy petting but it'll timeskip when it comes to penetration. I always tag with a basic #nsfw.
Triggers. I'm tokophobic - that means a fear of pregnancy. I need pictures and written content tagged. If it's not tagged and it ends up on my dash, I will unfollow without warning unless you're an established partner. I will tag anything on request but the following will already be tagged: drug use, suicide & suicide ideation.
Fandoms. He's fandomless but can be adapted to fit several fandoms easily, He has a verse where he has no powers if need be. However be aware that I'm just not familiar with a lot of fandoms.
Interactions. I'm canon, OC, and rule 63 friendly. I'm not interested in personified inanimate objects, animated characters with no irl fc, or child-of oc's. I will follow well-constructed multimuse blogs. I'll only follow sideblogs on a case-by-case basis. I won't follow dash only. If I can't find your rules or any roleplay, I won't follow.
Posts. I prefer multi-para and novella, with or without icons. Always move asks to a new post, always trim your posts (or ask me to do it if you're on mobile). I don't care about reblog karma. I don't like big gifs. I would far prefer a plotted thread over one that's 'just wing it'. Unplotted threads tend to get dropped.
Mun. Call me Banni. I'm 31, English, and really don't care what pronouns you attach to me. I've been doing this rp thing since 1998 and I'm permanently tired. I won't follow anyone under 18 or who doesn't have their age listed. I'm also very lonely, and given the tone of these rules I'm not surprised. I promise I'm more chill than this ooc.

While it looks like neon, and is called that as shorthand, Rattle’s power is not in anyway related to the element. Instead, the light he emits is a form of pure energy that’s generated internally and emitted in rapid pulses and controlled by his adrenal glands.
Furthermore, the energy that's created by the internal light can lead to him igniting and controlling the ionized gasses around him in a form of plasma manipulation - much like effect inside of a plasma globe.
Often triggered by strong emotions (happiness, distress, fear, arousal et al) he’s often seen to glow in some way, be it very minor and only noticeable in the dark or very strongly and visible in bright daylight.
While in reality every fibre of his body glows, the density of skin and muscles determines how brightly it shows - naturally, those areas that are softer and less dense glow brighter. Fingertips, the skin between his fingers and fingertips, the center of his palm, the insides of the wrists, elbows, armpits, behind his jaw and extending up behind is ears, his teeth, the roots and tips of his hair, the lower sides above his hip bones, along the depressed ridge of his spine, the juncture between thigh and groin, the backs of his knees, inside of his ankles, between his toes and tips of toes all glow the brightest. Additionally, his eyes tend to shift from grey to purple with an noticeable glow in the pupil when he’s actively using. There’s also a very strong smell of ozone, especially if he’s surrounding himself in it.
Ionisation/Plasma Generation - plasma on earth, while it exists, it's too rare in the atmosphere to be of any use, Rattle's mutation negates this because he can generate it himself.
Electric-Fire Manupulation - Electricity(naturally occurring), extremely hot flames are all sources of naturally occurring plasma; Rattle can control these to a lesser extent.
Plasma Aura - A very basic, rudimentary deflective shield that covers him like a second skin; usually reactive and instinctive rather than controlled.
Ionikinetic Combat - Theoretically, were Rattle the type to fight, he could utilise the ionic energy to enhance his combat abilities. He's already proven that high emotional stress can produce 'laser-like' beams of burning energy. However, he has no experience and hasn't developed his skills far enough.
Pulse Manipulation - Again, theoretical. Targeted ionic pulses that would disrupt both technology and the abilities of other powered individuals within a certain radius. With enough practice he should be able to shut them down entirely, though he's unaware he can do this - the most he knows is that he can occasionally cause his equipment to freak out now and then.
Magnetic/Electromagnetic Manipulation - Ties in with the above. He's hardly Magneto, but with practice he'd be able to exert minor control over metals and create localised EMP pulses.
Light Writing/Graffiti - Perhaps the one thing Rattle has practiced, he can create glowing trails that look like long-exposure photographs in real time. They can be placed on any surface, don't burn, and last for a few hours before fading completely; they're usually shades of pink, purple and blue, but occasionally yellow finds it's way in there.
Warnings apply for death, suicide & drug use
Rattle’s life can, perhaps, be best described as a series of unfortunate events.
While there has not been anything massively traumatic in his life like a mass murder of his family or any kind of serial and prolonged abuse, he has had as many struggles as any other human on this planet.
He was born into a poor family to a Russian immigrant mother and a father who was a teacher at a local junior school. They didn’t have a lot, the house was small and run down but they were happy - and when his baby sister came along, the young family seemed complete. He was bullied as a child but no more than any other poor kid with second-hand clothes and slightly buck teeth - and having a parent for one of his teachers didn’t really help matters.
The first real blow to the family came at age 12, when his father was accidentally caught in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting between a pair of local gangs. The only parent that was earning enough to keep the family afloat now gone, they were forced to move into a smaller, cheaper apartment in an even poorer neighbourhood.
When Rattle was 15 his powers first manifested. He caught a group of older boys picking on his best friend and, while no one died, one of other kids came away with serious burns. The fallout was understandably large, but seeing as no one believed that Rattle had ‘fired lasers’ it was mostly swept under the rug. But not for Rattle, who had turned from someone who went looking for a fight to someone scared of his own shadow - now afraid of what he could do to people.
His life progressed normally, he learned his powers, finished school, went to college like a normal teenager. Then his best friend killed himself aged 20, just as Rattle was starting a promising (if stuttering and littered with failures) musical hobby. To cope, he tried the usual outlets; drink, pills, weed which kept him buzzing just enough to come out with material that got him noticed on the EDM scene.
By the time he was 24 he had dropped out of a music course at NYU and headed out to Ibiza and the European club circuit. That was where he first started on cocaine. A night’s hard partying after signing his first contract to produce a very famous pop artist saw him accidentally overdosing a month after his 25th birthday.
Rehab (and subsequently falling off the wagon) went largely under the radar and his work behind producing a string of popular hits for big names increased his net worth exponentially. With his excess income he bought his mom a new house in a nice neighbourhood and his first home - a somewhat basic RV (compared to what he has now, at least).
His name starting to get noticed, especially after his own remixes and standalone tracks started to appear, led to further collaborations and projects. Now in his 30’s with a net worth in the tens of millions, he walks an increasingly thin tightrope between keeping himself controlled and his powers hidden, his drinking and drug use under control (though he’s not touched coke since the overdose), and keeping his name (and brand) respectable. It’s not easy - and he fears the fall.
• He is constantly evolving in musical style and while he may have started out in the drum and bass genre, he’s now currently in the retro-electro and synthwave scene after having spent a few years with electro house and big room. He will occasionally still play heavy sets and has even been known to dabble with hardstyle and the darker witch house genres.
• He’s never tried to get a handle on his powers, preferring to pretend they don’t exist. This often means that they’re triggered by emotional responses and very strong emotion can literally cause him to glow. It’s why he tries to remain as chilled and impassive as possible.
• While he can glow ‘at will’ it takes a lot of effort. If you’re in the dark and need a light, it’s easiest to either startle him or assault him. Please avoid punching the face if you must do this.
• He has issues with static electricity buildup caused by his powers, this can lead to him accidentally shocking both other people and himself by accident.
• His music sets are known to be very light show heavy and are not advised for anyone that is photosensitive.
• His sister, Kristina, hates him and keeps threatening to tell his mother about his mutation - something she knows nothing about. He pays his sister off to keep her silence. He doesn't really mind because while she may hate him, he still loves her.
• He's only ever had one romantic partner which ended in disaster as the girl freaked out when he started to glow. She doesn't blame him, however, and they parted on good terms with her promising to keep his secret. She has, so far.
• He earned the name 'Glowstick' before his powers manifested, as he has clicky joints and his best friend said he must be filled with glowstick juice. The name stuck.
• He prefers female vocalists on his tracks, he finds them more versatile to work with.
• He can play piano, drums, guitar and violin but cannot read sheet music. He learns by listening and mimicking.
• After his mutation initially manifested, his hair slowly turned from brown to a dark pink colour, bordering on purple. He dyes it back to brown aggressively, usually weekly because the colour tends to bleed through, especially when he washes his hair.
• He had a vasectomy in 2013 and is certified sterile, his reason being is that he doesn't want to pass whatever mutations he's got down to a kid.

SUPERHERO REMIX
MARVEL/DC
XMCU & DCTV/DCEU
Let's make one thing clear, Rattle is not a superhero, before you get the name of the verse wrong. He's a mutant, or a metahuman, that can quite easily pass for a normal person on the street and that's exactly how he wants it to stay. He still makes music, still does the same things, the setting's just different.
For Marvel, he's mostly part of the x-mcu universe covering the whole x-men films and fox shows like The Gifted. I'm not ruling out playing with mcu muses but I'll be playing it that he looks nothing like Bucky Barnes.
For DC, I know nothing beyond the films & the CW tv shows but I'm willing to learn.
