{DS! APOTROPAIC!: Vesper & Paralysis}

YIPPEE!! Apotropaic art! 😍

Simple Explanation:

A mirror is found in an old storage room of JR. It radiated a magical energy that needed to be determined as “bad” or “good” so they kept it. Little did they know people from a different world would finally have the chance to escape. They used all of the power they needed to crack the glass and free themselves. Black smoke erupted from the creases as the mirror world parallels spread panic across the multiverse. The gas causes intense paranoia, hallucinations, and nightmares. Bunkers got put in order, but some were not as lucky to get there in time. JR put itself on lockdown, but that wasn’t enough. The parallels surrounded them… even if they went into their bunker. The employees got killed one by one, leaving their variants of each other to torment them.

I haven’t decided the true ending but it’s a pretty funky horror au :/

INFO (bc I doubt I’ll make references 💀):

Character Name - Dream Von Licht

Nickname - Vesper/Ves

Role - Protagonist?

Sexuality - Pansexual

Pronouns - he/him

Height - 6’3”

Physical Description - Has bruised wrists because Paralysis keeps grabbing them. 🙄

Personality - Kind of intimidating and deadpan. Very tired and stressed. It seems like he's upset all the time, which he kind of is. Still has his formality, but it's less than before. More likely to lash out than usual. Looks out of it more than the others cause Paralysis actively torments more than the other Parallels..

Age - 225+

Weakness - his listed fears, the hallucinations, lack of sleep, the bond between him an Paralysis (also Gloom but Paralysis gets beat up more lmao),

Fear - Agoraphobia (fear of leaving the house), Proditiophobia (fear of betrayal), Emetophobia (fear of vomiting or seeing other vomit), Catoptrophobia (fear/dislike of mirrors)

Weapon - Light/Claymore Sword

Likes - anything happy cause this man needs help // his friends :) // Champion // Ani // beating up the Parallels // Flinch // kids (wholesome)

Passions & Talents - He can fly // Bilingual // good at tracking //

Dislikes - Paralysis (🔫) // Mirrors // Touching his wings // Karens (despite them being rare in this situation) // Orbit // All the Parallels

Other - He found the mirror in a storage room, it looked a bit odd so he looked into it. After a while of it just radiating magic that was hard to decipher… he didn't see his reflection, he saw a horrible world with a bad version of him. After that, he wanted to lock it away and study it to keep everyone safe. But unfortunately, the parallels broke out and he thought wasn't careful enough. A small crack doomed their world, and it was all “because of him.” The nightmare fuel gas spread and the parallels escaped. JR was put on lockdown and he feels really guilty.

-Him and Paralysis (the mirror world version of him), do not get along. After all, he gives him nightmares, terrible hallucinations, and doesn't respect his boundaries. They're relationship is quite toxic and is basically fueled by hatred (Ves) and sadistic tendencies (Para).

-This place is very negative so his radiance/magic is weaker than normal. He also gets a ton of headaches/migraines because of this. :,)

-Flinch and Champion are the most important to him because they always help him in times of need. He'd be in a much worse mental state without them.

—————

Nickname - Paralysis

Role - Villain

Sexuality - Pansexual

Pronouns - he/him

Height - 6’2” or 6’0 without heels

Physical Description - ugly

Age - 125

Weakness - Light,

Fear - Photophobia (light), Atychiphobia (fear of failure)

Weapon - Sword (normie 🙄)

Likes - Manipulation // bad stuff I don't wanna write // basically he's the worst person ever // Bluebell // Ruin & Umber //

Passions & Talents - Being shitty // being an evil ‘ruler’ //

Dislikes - Dream/Vesper (🔪❤️) // Not being in Control //

Other - N/A

It's me @apatheticnatureiskey I have a gift for you-you-you, I have a surpri-i-i-ise

DS! APOTROPAIC! - @apatheticnatureiskey

[levenxa]

*when one night you and your sister start discussing horror themed dreamswap aus and then create two separate universes of that exact depiction—the horror theme*

from then on Apotropaic (DS! AU) and ds-deranged.exe started existing 😃

{DS! APOTROPAIC!: GLOOM & MIMIC}

this is not what the parallels really look like it’s just the hallucinations :)

Character Name - Nightmare

Nickname - Gloom

Role - Deuteragonist

Sexuality - Demi-polysexual

Pronouns - they/them

Height - 5’5

Physical Description - mask

Personality - They're conflicted most of the time. But normally they're like regular DS! NM but more serious and aggressive. Kind of concerned about the whole situation and doesn't know how to cope with it.

Age - 225

Weakness - their fears, their friends getting hurt,

Fear - Cleithrophobia (fear of being trapped), Atychiphobia (fear of failure), Catoptrophobia (fear/dislike of mirrors), Thanatophobia (fear of death)

Weapon - Staff

Likes - Kevin (✨🛐) // Friends // Kicking ass //

Passions & Talents - playing the Violin >:) //

Dislikes - Mimic (piece of sh--) // Paralysis (🤢) / Weakness //

Other - They were at the Meme Squad's place when the crap went down. Them and the other two decided to go get answers. They went to JR since the gas came from it's direction. This was a very bad idea because they went through the gas and kind of got traumatized because of the hallucinations. They however made it to JR and got the answers. After a fight, they decide to stay there because it was too terrible to go back through the gas. Gloom isn't that bothered since all they want is to not have anything to do with the gas. (Then the parallels came but shshsh)

So now there is a truce between JR & The Meme Squad because of the terrible situation. It is quite relieving for them, but now they have nightmares of different things that are kind of worse than the ones they had before. Mimic and them do not vibe together. Mimic is extremely manipulative and wants to take control very badly. Gloom often prevents it, and tries to stay calm during the hallucinations and nightmare periods. That doesn't mean they aren't bothered by it though.

Character Name - Mirror! Nightmare

Nickname - Mimic

Role - Villain

Sexuality - Lesbian

Pronouns - she/it/they

Height - 5’4”

Physical Description - pretty

Personality - Fake, pretends to be nice. Normally has a happy demeanor but it turns manipulative with Gloom (and if she's upset as well).

Age - 125

Weakness - Lack of Attention,

Fear - Hydrophobia (fear of water), Cacophobia (fear of ugliness),

Weapon - demonic arms that grown from the ground // sparkle light stick

Likes - Death // Deception //

Passions & Talents - Tracking // Manipulation //

Dislikes - Nightmare/Gloom (bitch <3)

Other - Now this bish is crappy manipulation wise. It takes advantage of people and stabs them in the back.

Back then she was a traitor, and turned to the bad side. And as a result, they gave themself evil/demonic powers. She kind of turned evil cause the urge for attention went really far. Also she's like… demonic with they're arms that rise from the ground. ;-;

She is second in command and the second to most powerful.
