The DINTIS part of Beechswap: Gecko, Boa, and Ash

Boa

Dark. He’s really…Unobservant when it comes to other people, and doesn’t always realize when he says something he shouldn’t have.

He unfortunately was the spark to the kindling of an identity crisis Ash was building in Gecko. Boa didn’t think it was a big deal and thought Gecko was just playing pretend or something. LARPing idk.

He really should’ve realized something was wrong. Nowadays they live together in a big castle with servants that work for Boa. He cares about Gecko a lot, and he tries to help him. Unfortunately, his idea of helping is keeping Gecko in the castle for as long as it takes him to figure out his shit, and being so unconditionally supportive of everything Gecko tries that Gecko is no closer to figuring his shit out.

Boa is absolutely overprotective, but he’s really bad at protecting him. As @nom-de-plume-system put it, he protects Gecko from all the wrong people and too late in protecting him from the right people.

A radiant, with glassy wings and a spear of positivity.

The wings are kind of weird bc there’s rather limited options in Heroforge. But anyways.

He’s got a fair amount of muscle; certainly more than Gecko. He’s not only stronger, but faster; though to be fair, he’s doing a lot of fighting compared to Gecko. He can’t fly with his wings; they’re mostly useless. Both they and his spear are made of radiance.

He/him; Queer

Ash

Fucking asshole. Hate him. One of many villagers that were assholes to Gecko. Thought he was hot shit, but little does he know he sure as hell ain’t.

Gecko really wanted him and his friends to like him, and tried to find a persona that they’d approve of. Unfortunately, Ash & Co really wanted to see how far they could push him with it.

He is Dead now but he’s very important to the Boyes’ backstory.

Queer, with looots of internalized homophobia that he likely took out on Gecko a lot.

Gecko

i needed to change his pants. i looked at the picture i had and went 'oh GOD what are those. no. awful. bad. horrible. disgusting' and could not let it stay. so i didn't.

My man has some serious identity issues going on. Like, he’s been having an ongoing crisis since he was a teenager. Currently he’s in a Cute Little Shit phase, but he’s gone through several. He’s changed his name several times, but he’s finally settled on ‘Gecko’. he's the favorite of the creators and you can tell

He tends to lean towards nicer personalities, but when his identity crisis was at it’s worst, he tried some asshole-ish ones. He’s decided he does not want to be an asshole. That’s about all he knows for sure though. 

Due to all of these personalities he’s tried out, he’s a very skilled actor, even to the point of being able to, in a sense, conjure up fake emotions. He’s picked up several other skills, as well. Knitting, drawing, a lil bit of dancing, singing, baking. Jack of all trades kind of guy. He can also do 15,000 different accents.

He tends to switch personas when interacting with different people, which is most noticeable when he’s hanging out in a group and seems to sporadically change personalities depending on who he’s talking to.

A Negative spirit, no magic abilities that he knows of.

He doesn’t have much muscle, but he’s not really skinny either. Healthy amount of padding yknow. He’s stronger than he looks. He probably worked out for a while, when he was trying out some personas in the past, but he hasn’t for a while. He can run surprisingly fast in those heels of his.

He/him, mostly gay.

Beechswap Master Post (Will be updated with links as posts come out)

Beechswap (Formerly "Bitchswap") is an AU where characters swap based on either who hates who the most, or what we thought would be an interesting switch. With the exception of Beechswap DINTIS, in which there's only two characters to swap anyway

There's also a few OCs thrown in there. Some originated here. Some originated elsewhere. Then there's JMV Epic, who doesn't officially exist but we're epicross nerds so it was decided that Zircon's spouse should be the JMV version of Epic.

Swaps:

Zuli + Obsidian

Koroit + Jade

Zircon + Peridot

Paraiba + Jasper

Silver + Mercury

Apatite/Zircon’s spouse + Quartz, sort of

Jet + Dark

Character Nicknames:

Zuli: Lazuli [shares a post with Pine]

Obsidian: Oleander (Ollie)

Koroit: Senna

Jade: Aspen

Zircon: Hawthorn [Shares a post with Mac and Porcini]

Peridot: Willow [Shares a post with Gem, an OC entirely original to Beechswap]

Paraiba: Clove

Jasper: Peppermint (Pepper)

Silver: Magnolia (Maggie)

Mercury: Gingko

Quartz: Yucca

Apatite: Macadamia (Mac)

Amber: Pine

Peony: Porcini

Jet: Gecko [Shares a post with Boa and Ash due to how little info there is for the latter two]

Dark: Boa

Harvey (DINTIS OC): Ash

Notes:

In canon JMV, Zircon's spouse is unnamed. Apatite is *partly* an OC. They're Epic Sans but JMV. So not like, 100% original, but Epic doesn't officially exist in JMV. But we're epicross nerds so

Lazuli doesn't let anyone (except for occasionally Aspen) call him 'Zuli'.

Pine (Lazuli's brother) hasn't really swapped, he's just. there still. as Lazuli's brother. Similarly, Porcini (Hawthorn + Mac's daughter) hasn't really swapped with anyone. Unfortunately, she's still dead.

both harvey and ash are fucking assholes and I want to put them in a centrifuge for a few years (derogatory)

Three thousand years ago, not too long after (or perhaps even a bit before) me and @nom-de-plume-system released Bitchswap, affectionately nicknamed Beechswap now, we made a matching DINTIS AU. Before the DINTIS version could be released, however, Life Things(TM) happened with them and my disorganized ass was left alone to finish it.

Which is fine except uh. well. it's been quite a while hasn't it HJKGFDHSJKGF

Today I was very indirectly and probably not intentionally reminded that I hadn't ever posted this, so I said 'fuck it it's getting posted now'

There's been very little proofreading. also it hasn't been touched in months at the very least so Be Warned

[moonfurthetemmie]

Hiii I’m sorry for bothering , I was wondering about bitchswap. So Lazuli has no special ability and Oleander is secretly a mermaid but what is Boe’s special ability and what would Gecko ‘s be if he had one ?

HI THANK YOU FOR ASKING ABOUT THAT

Listen it’s hard to be a bother just by sending asks, but it’s next to impossible when you’re asking about AUs that I made or helped make. I am grabbing your hands and bouncing up and down with excitement

But, unfortunately, Boa and Gecko are still super underdeveloped so I don’t have an official answer.

I think it’d be cool if Gecko could magically disguise himself though. Not fully into someone else, but changing his outfit completely, up to and including make up and hairstyle

I’m just imaging Usagi’s magic pen thing from really early on in Sailor Moon. I think she only used it once to transform into something other than Sailor Moon.

Boa’s ability I’m less sure on, because he’s even more underdeveloped than Gecko. His personality is so Blank that I genuinely can’t even come up with a ‘maybe’ answer.

Tagging @nom-de-plume-system because Bitchswap was a collaborative effort. Also I wanna hear what you think

(Note: I will probably not see any reblogs or follow-up asks until later tomorrow. I have ObligationsTM and should be going to bed. We’ll see how that works out though)

[moonfurthetemmie]

ok so i've gone through and changed all "Bitchswap" id tags to "Beechswap"

Any instances of 'bitchswap' included in a post or in a tag ramble haven't been touched because there wasn't much point HJKGFDHSJGK

but anyway. With everyone but like two people being named after a tree, 'Beechswap' was too funny a pun to pass up. once i got my brain to stop screaming about the name change. which took a really, really, really long time but we're good now

also this whole thing is going to include a repost of Beechswap DINTIS with Gecko and Boa! even though they still haven't gotten more development

and boa really needs it. christ.

Ages and ages ago I decided I wanted to pull Bitchswap/Beechswap JMV out again and just kinda cut it into pieces like how I did for Sunfall and Horror!Dreamswap. Not getting rid of anything, just making multiple smaller posts that focus on specific things. Basically reposting the whole thing in a slightly different form

and I have one (1) draft that’s been sitting there the entire time

But I realized yesterday or the day before that. Um. It’s gonna be two years old in a few months. So I figured I might as well say something out loud here (possibly for the second time? Idk I’m having Deja Vu) and see if that will pressure me into doing it JSDJXHDH

If I remember right the big doc was originally posted around Christmas, so I’m going to aim to start posting stuff around there.
