considering it’s halloween weekend - not random at all!! t’challa has actually faced off with zombies. when this man says he has experience, he has experience. it was on another universe where the x-men/avengers/etc etc were zombies who had killed the inhabitants of the planet by eating them ( well most of them). he, along with the rest of his team, survived and used their knowledge and skills to find a way to get back to their own home planet.
if earth all of a sudden turned into a zombie apocalypse. his chance of survival & of wakanda would be very high. he would do one of three things. he would - along with other scientist that haven’t been affected - come up with a cure ( i mean hell wakanda has a cure for cancer ), create a virus that will kill all zombies or he would evacuate wakanda and himself (plus those he deems as friends ) to another planet.
you know, all last night i have been thinking about this question. i almost got out of bed and turned my computer on to answer it. t’challa, before joining the avengers, has kept in tune with the world’s current events. followed the politics of every country. followed & read thesis of bruce banner, tony stark, reed richards, hank pym, henry mccoy, & every other scientist that he deemed as worthy of his time. when it came to pop-culture, he never really kept up to date with it. he dabbled a bit when he studied abroad in america. throughout his college years his friends & (then girlfriend) monica would show him some very recent pop culture of that time. he enjoyed and followed it to the extent that kept him connected with monica & his other friends. however, when he returned home, t’challa didn’t keep up to date on much. when he became an official member of the avengers, he would catch up on historical movies/tv shows of martin luther king, based on black history month, fresh prince of belair, glory road, pride etc etc. he followed artists like Kendrick Lamar, beyonce, rihanna, ellie goulding (he is a fan). game of thrones books - whenever he has time he reads a few chapters - he’s still going. it was clint & jane that broaden his knowledge (such as watching the breakfast club, say anything, fight club, clueless, music videos such as the cha cha slide & hammer time ) however, he has not seen lotr, harry potter (he watched a few recently), disney movies, star wars, star trek, etc. most pop culture references go over his head but he manages to catch a few (especially when clint, scott, peter parker, peter quill or the other younger avengers use them)
words do not hold power over you until you allow it to. words have no power until you inflict emotions in your tone. & that is how he sees the world. you can call someone by their name and it could be meaningless until your inflict anger, love, or fear into your voice. yet, there are some words he wishes were wiped from the human vocabulary.
t’challa understands the history of the word, how it is derived from the latin word meaning black. yet it doesn’t mistake the fact that it has been established and used as a derogative term for someone with different colour. while yes, he is a strong believer in the power of words lies truly on whether you give it power or not, he hates the term. it discriminates humans from humans.
in wakanda, the term is never to be heard only by those living in the outer villages & usually when said are to disrespect another. i remember reading a comic where racial slurs were present (this was in america when he was visiting) & he ignores them and takes it in stride. yet it makes him angry. you will never find him (or any wakandans ) using any derogative term towards anybody (latin, italian, german, jew, english, etc etc ) no matter their status or their occupation.
oh my god !! that is amazing. i can’t wait to hear chadwicks reaction on the kids dressing up as t’challa for halloween. honestly, day made. especially considering you thought of me when you saw the little ankle bitter as the black panther !!
you & me both !! each time they announce a new member joining the black panther cast. i get even more excited for the film !!
i find that people either don’t like the marvel fandom or do. i honestly like the marvel fandom. the only problems i’ve ever had with it are canon wise. just a few plot lines here or there i don’t agree with. but the fandom itself ?? no problem on my end !! the only drama i’ve been in is completely character wise. i’ve made some amazing friends and rp partners. but … there have been people like you’ve said that haven’t meshed well with the fandom. i could say the same for other fandoms - game of thrones, d.c, teen wolf, the vampire diaries, the 100 etc etc. any fandom could work with you or without you. don’t make your decision because of someone else’s experience. follow people that mesh with your writing & want to be here to have fun, then you will have an amazing time. plus there is always the unfollow button if people are stirring trouble or see things you don’t want on your dash.
that entirely depends on the character you want to play !! I know a lot of people who have picked up muses from the marvel cinematic universe and roleplay purely in that universe. they haven’t read the comics or anything else beyond the movies / tv shows. so if you are playing a character from the netflix series, tv series, or movie - & entirely comfortable with sticking with that area. then i say stick with what you know !! if you want to try your hand & dip into the comic side then i would highly suggest reading the main line of your characters comics & venture out from there.
set or seth is a god of the desert, storms, disorder, violence, and foreigners. not one of the orisha’s that the wakandan’s worship. in spite & in the carnage of the old religion being spun through the doors opened across wakanda. seth took revenge upon the orisha’s (bast, thoth, pitah, mujaji, and kokou) by setting his sights on wakanda. t'challa, king & black panther, has worked with changmire & the elders to sedate seth and bring forth the gods of their old. but his wrath has ventured beyond africa. now t'challa, amongst friends & foes, have to work together to fight a god.
black panther. is the ancestral ceremonial title of t’challa, the king of wakanda. t’challa splits his time between protecting his kingdom, with the aid of his elite female royal guard, the dora milaje, and helping protect the entire world, as a member of superhero teams such as the avengers and the ultimates. the african nation wakanda is the most technologically advanced society on the globe. it sits upon a large deposit of an extremely rare natural resource called vibranium. wakanda long boasted of having never been conquered, but recent events - a biblical flood that killed thousands, a coup orchestrated by doctor doom, an invasion by the villain thanos—have humbled the kingdom.
after the events of civil war. t’challa returned back home, in time to bury his father’s body. a ceremonial passing that occurred within the heart of wakanda. within the timeframe of the ritual, t’challa would have undergone the passages to officially become the king of wakanda, leader of the panther tribe, and the black panther. t’challa will fight wakandan’s finest champions (this can go for days) and only when he has defeated them that he will embark on a journey to the jungle to seek the sacred heart-shaped herb, obtaining it and facing the judgement of the panther god bast. it is only then that the prince of wakanda can fully claim his right to the throne.
Mr Okonkwo. founder of the resistance & member of the republic, leader of his tribe. a nation of warrior women and men that occupy the planet bast. he joined the resistance purely to use their intelligence and weaponry to find his brother who had been taken from his family & forced to join as a stormtrooper. t’challa has studied all possible fighting skills of the galaxy. trained with the best & fought the best. he is not a jedi & is unable to use the force. he has worked his whole life tirelessly to bring his only remaining family back home while supporting the band of people that look up to him as a leader, & dealing business to fund the resistance.
t’challa, born to t’chaka, the leader of the wakandan nation on an uncharted island. lived in privacy & secluded from the rest of the world. until the day his father was murdered on board of the bast. killed by a man named klaw, a one-handed pirate ordered to murder the leader to gather the precious and expensive resource - vibranium. once news travelled back of the death of the once king of wakanda. t’challa embarked on his own ship in search of the man named klaw. set on revenge and fueled by rage. he fell in love, became a man, & returned home with half the crew members he left with. he earned the title of king, leader of the warrior nation & captain of the panther crew. spending his days protecting his homeland from invaders & venturing out at sea.
the udaku’s are a very old & powerful family of shadowhunters. centuries ago, the first udaku, bashenga, found his tribe overrun by demons - after defeating them he shortly began his training to become a shadowhunter. from there he built an african institute in wakanda. each daughter and son at a young age, would begin training to become a shadowhunter. to protect africa from demons & unruly downworlders. t’challa, son of t’chaka, along with his sister shuri are the last of the udaku line. both trained to become fierce warriors & leaders. t’challa earned the right to the title of head of the wakandan shadowhunters & has spent from his early twenties to present overseeing the institute and leading the panther tribe. which has often lead him to wonder globally - appearing into other institutes about the world - & joining up with other teams.
this is my main arc for any type of magical blogs. whether that be the harry potter fandom (marauders era included), magic oc’s, witches of east end, and any other magic like fandoms. this is not a group verse nor a private one. it is for anyone who wishes to write in this arc. please note that most information (aside from the incorporation of wakanda/t’challa) are taken from 
a shift of power. the hand upon the england throne is shakey. the struggle to govern, to reign, to see to the protection of their people have caught the attention of a king of a mythical nation. one that seeks an alliance with the queen who attempts to take control. this peace will bring the two kingdoms together and unearth the courts lies, betrayals, spies, and traitors hidden beneath warm smiles and welcoming presences.
