thinking about iago as a companion ever since I saw puck's recruitment

You can find Iago at the last light inn after the Marcus fight, regardless of if Isobel is taken or not (though, they will congratulate the heroes and buy them a round of drinks if Last Light is saved). They will pose as another refugee and there is a passive perception check to see if you can recall seeing them before. On a fail, you get a headache from studying their face too hard.

You can also find Iago in Moonrise Towers before the Marcus fight where they are throwing a shriveled tadpole for Steelclaw to play fetch with. Trying to initiate dialogue with them here will generate a random excuse as to why they are "busy," leave the conversation, and they'll be unapproachable after that point. They will still meet you again after the Marcus fight, but pretend not to recall ever meeting you before and double down on the refugee claim.

You'll be able to actually recruit them in the first combat you get into after this encounter, in which they will aid you, having followed your party. They'll ask to join in order to help stop the absolute and to find someone they've lost.

If you do not recruit Iago here or if you never initiate the fight with Marcus, you will find their body discarded behind the altar when you confront Orin at the Bhaal Temple. From them, you can loot a tooth earring and a letter to their brother that is too bloodied to read.

Are you familiar with the How to Train Your Dragon series? Since Fidget has a busted wing and Olivia's dad is a very skilled toy/robot maker he might be able to create a contraption for him to be able to fly. Fidget would let Olivia fly on his back.

Yes, I am! I'm really glad that you asked me this because I have wondered about it for a while now and even tried to incorporate a thing as such in a future design for him. I only had the idea of Dawson patching the wing for now as he is a surgeon and stuff, but I also really really love the contraption idea!!!

These designs for adult Olivia and Fidget are a little old though, I plan on changing Fidget's peg leg to a metallic one like the one he has in his Lorcana card.

And I also have an idea that these two become investigators like Basil and Dawson when they grow up, but I need to finish the concepts of their villains/rivals!! Which I hope it can be soon enough.

I was just thinking, since there's plenty of sentient vehicles in the RWS universe, there must be a lot more cartoons, movies, and shows based around them or featuring them. Consider these options!

An anime engine character that's a super powered bullet train! Or just engine anime characters in general! I think it would be neat. :)

Historical romance/dramas with engines as the main characters. (They probably get dunked on all the time by the engine community for being inaccurate. Lol.)

Documentaries on railways featuring interviews with the engines that run it.

Famous engines being guest stars on talk shows.

Something like transformers but with locomotives.

Stuff like this! And this is just for the locomotives!

angel is incredibly reserved and cagey about both his birthday and his death day, so very few actually know the dates of these days.

there are only two people he openly told.

the first was valentino in the early days, where he was open and trusting and in love. he since regrets this, as valentino often sends him cruel reminders around the day to taunt him.

cherri was the second, a few months into their friendship while they were high off their asses, and he trusts her not to say shit to anyone, even if they ask her, just the same as he'd do for her if she wanted.

his birthday is one that he accidentally tells people at points, drunken moments in the bar where he makes off comments about being 'born a joke' due to being born on april fools day, but he won't remind anyone of the day. instead he'll use the date as an excuse to party, taking his friends out dancing and drinking to surround himself with people he cares about. usually this would only be cherri, but since coming to the hotel he would invite the rest of the hotel along too.

his death day is the opposite. the week coming up to it angel is more irritable, drawing away from friends and loved ones to distract himself, and will usually end up taking a cocktail of drugs on the day to either cause a near comatose like state, or to be so removed from reality he doesn't know what day it is until it's over.

this came up so i'm putting it here (because alnst chokehold):

i gave so much thought to evan's vc, he has not one but two ( that admittedly, i repurposed from another oc but sssssshhh if you know which one, no you don't )

i have this as his primary vc mainly because... i like noristry and you can pry him from my dead hands. his cadence fits evan a lot, especially when he gets to the more throaty parts of the song. evan's manner is that... he's practiced but still rough. and that roughness is what makes him appealing.

and then for the range that i know evan has, there is this one. evan sings with his entire chest and he's capable of dipping to the lower registers and growling. but if he did that all the time, it would hurt his throat... so he doesn't do it too much. if he has to, though, he 100% will

As Sam finishes portioning out the chicken stir-fry he had just cooked into containers, the sound of footsteps announces the arrival of another in the kitchen. Sam looks over his shoulder to see who it is, and a warm smile spreads across his face.

"Just in time."

Sam turns around, wiping his hands on a kitchen towel.

"I just finished prepping some food--Wanna try?"

About Shadow During The Metal Virus Arc

Yeah, we all know how he handles it in canon given the guidelines that Sega has given all of the writers which has flattened his character out and even though it's considered a soft reset of the characters, I will first point out, a soft reset means they want you to keep the previous canon in mind. Which means, as a result, they want you to keep all of Shadow's characterization in mind. As a result, they massively flub this (as in Sega, I understand why Ian had to do it the way it got done) even with the soft reset and butcher Shadow's character.

So... mine is not going to take the route Canon does. Because we all know that we hate it and how it was done. I can get why it was done, narratively, and from a perspective of writers not able to work with their own IP and stuck with Sega limitations, buuut, as a sonic fan! I am not confined to those and will actually be taking his Adventure Era personality into effect and mind along with the character growth from it since we are supposed to be still considering all of that as canon to his character.

To start off with: Yes, he still brings the truck. He still argues with Sonic. He absolutely in the Tinker arc still tried to get rid of the threat Eggman is. Except in this end, he wasn't looking to kill him. He was looking to imprison him and keep him under active surveillance so that even if he was found (as we see Starline do) they could keep him under lock and key and prevent him from breaking out and Shadow could have even utilized the ARK for this purpose himself and been the one doing it (since he has access by now as G.U.N. clearly exists if the ARK exists). This still fails, Sonic still gets his way leading into the Metal Virus.

The biggest difference I am making to his character? He does not believe himself to instantly be immune to the virus. Because with his Adventure Era personality in tact, he would have the wits and intelligence necessary to realize that while he definitely is resistant, like Sonic, it's a new virus. It would not have been made when he was, so he would be capable of contracting it.

Second change I am making? This is where we find out that Shadow's resistance to the virus is much higher than Sonic. Yes, I get it. The infection cure is based on Sonic speed data, which could still be a thing that happens and is used. In my canon, the reason they use Sonic is because he is a full Mobian. Not artificially made. But they would discover that on top of speed helping Shadow burn it off, his Black Arms DNA is highly resistant naturally to the virus and when mixed with the fact he has raw Chaos energy in his body, this burns it at a higher rate. This, of course, means Sonic still has his stakes, but Shadow has a different set of stakes. As highly resistant does not mean immune. And... in this canon, removing his inhibitor rings does the same as running for long periods does for Sonic and burns it off. Speed is consistent, Shadow has a unique move set and ability repertoire that makes him uniquely resilient to the virus.

Last change? He does not let himself get stuck. He gets swarmed and like any reasonable Ultimate Lifeform who actually remembers his abilities, he uses Chaos Blast to destroy the swarm around him, uses the tornado move him and Sonic do in heroes to keep that space, and actually trusts and listens to Rouge after making sure there's enough out of the way and not overwhelming their position to let Rouge escape because he's not losing anyone else.

Shadow, also unlike Sonic, does not go to Restoration HQ, he radios when he gets infected so people are aware of his infection so they do not touch him, but he respects the fact that introducing a biohazard into a base where only healthy people should be is a very bad idea. He's out and about and helps with various rescues that Sonic and Co do without it changing much besides him being able to crowd control better.

However, as the virus continues to mutate. Shadow is eventually unable to fight it off ... and he does become fully infected and is taken out of the playing field. He behaves as a Zombot similar to how he does in canon, with the difference that the zombot Shadow can learn how to use the rocket shoes and so becomes even more of a threat as he turns out to be smarter than the average zombot, stronger, as well as having more resilience against attacks compared to average zombots. This makes him an actual consistent threat, gives More motive and stakes to find the cure, and the rest of canon proceeds after his infection the same as it does in the comics, it just is much later that he becomes infected.

Gabriele's secret lover, the one who was assassinated, Gino, was never aware of Gabriele's real name. He has never known that Gabriele was a double agent, the fact he was a police officer too.

Every year, Gabriele sent flowers on his grave, always signing the same thing:

"Puoi chiamarmi Gabriele"

It means : you can call me Gabriele.

Meta + Varia ((OOC: kinda like a I'm curious for Sarina's general opinions on the Varia members))

SARINA HEADCANONS: VARIA

“I work with these shitheads?  Don’t let me down.”

She did not have a good impression of any of them.  Some nicknames she picked for them stayed or worsened.  They were not said to anyone’s face except for Fran��s.

It is hard to say what she likes and dislikes about them.  She definitely has a hate-love with most of the assassins listed here.  For a couple of them it is hate at first sight.

Fran 

First Impression: “Fruit Fairy”  “Probable Yes Man”

Latest Impression: “Would love to kill the Fruit Fairy.”

Desire to Fight: 0% “Not interested if you won’t take this fight seriously.”

She does not like the kid overly much.  Probably ignores him for the most part, unless he has useful things to say to her.   She does not like what nickname he gave her, and calls him “Fruit Fairy” or “Fairy Brat”.  However, he is much better than dealing with Belphegor.  Not that she would let him know that.

She will take Mukuro’s and Mammon’s word that the boy is good enough to be Varia.  Though, if she has to deal with Fran, it will be on Mukuro’s, Mammon’s, Xanxus’ and Belphegor’s heads.  Lussuria is probably the only one that can calm her down from attempting to kill the boy.

Mammon/Viper 

First Impression: “Money-Grubbing Infant”  “Yes Man”

Latest Impression: “Snot-Scrying Infant” “I worked too much to get my deduction.  Not risking it.”

Desire to Fight: 70% “It would be interesting to see how she does against an Arcobaleno.”

Does not know why the Arcobaleno is working with the Varia.  Does not try to ask because Mammon would charge her thousands to hear what comes out of the Mist infant’s mouth.  She does warn Lussuria not to hold the illusionist like a baby.  She will never admit it to the illusionist, but she is thankful for Mammon’s abilities, including the disgusting snot scrying one.  It has saved her many times, though she really would like a greater deduction on the price…

She misses the illusionist’s presence at the headquarters, and would prefer them to return.  However, the illusionist has Arcobaleno duties to attend to.

Levi

First Impression: “Creepy #1 Xanxus Fanboy”  “Yes Man to the Extreme”

Latest Impression: “Creep.”

Desire to Fight: 20% “Only to piss Belphegor off with a higher number.”

He is a loyal man, don’t get it wrong, but Sarina knows that with every leader there’s strengths and weaknesses.  Xanxus is no different.  The man is still steadfast and follows every order to a tea.  The only reason Sarina follows her orders is that she gets to leave the headquarters for an uncharted amount of time.  If she hears more “Xanxus…” she will probably jump off the nearby bridge.

Lussuria

First Impression:  “Yes Man”

Latest Impression: “He’s cool but I would not want to be one of his corpse dolls.”

Desire to Fight: 50% “It’s a coin flip, but I do not want to argue with him like I did before.”

Sarina thinks Lussuria is kind and tries to nurture the troops in their own way.  Despite the politeness and warmth, she is not sure Lussuria trusts her.  Lussuria is nevertheless another assassin, and there is cruelty there.  However, it hurt when she was pushed out of the Varia.  She is thankful Lussuria probably warmed up to her again, knowing she was in a difficult position.  She leaves most of the dealings with the other officers to them.  That way she could easily put distance between herself and them.

She knows they want to get to know her, but can she trust this hellishly dysfunctional family?  She is not sure and Lussuria probably understands that.

Belphegor

First Impression: “Prince Annoyance” “Yes Brat”

Latest Impression: “I’m going to kill him one day.  And they won’t find the body.”

Desire to Fight: 15% “It’s a generous number, but I’m afraid you’ll bore me, Your Highness.”

This assassin has been a little shit to her since day 1.  She would love to kill him when he least suspects it.  Oh, and his mink too.  That animal gets into everything, including her lingerie.

She absolutely hates aristocrats and their pompous attitudes.  Belphegor probably came from a very sadistic line of Royalty.  Does she believe he killed his older brother?  She is not sure and it is hard to say.  However, she does not want to be around the younger assassin.  Especially once he hears her epithet as the ‘Princess of Assassins’.

Squalo/Squaletta

First Impression: “Loud Supervisor” Who she should try killing. “Yes Man”

Latest Impression: “Loud Supervisor” Keeps Bel from throwing knives at her door.

Desire to Fight: 90% “Very sure Superbi will take it seriously.”

She respects Squalo and the person.  Probably a lot more than Xanxus.  She low-key fears Xanxus and Squalo, and fights them both when she does not agree on things.  Specifically, what they should feel about the Vongola Tenth generation, despite Sarina agreeing with the rest of the Varia that they are weak.

Squalo also has a lot to teach when it comes to the sword (and Xanxus), and that is one of the motivations she had with fighting against him.  It probably comes from her own right hand being of rain and also a swordsman.  She was astounded Squalo still held respect for Xanxus even after getting laughed at for being fed to the sharks.  While she respects the absolute loyalty of the person towards Xanxus, she can’t help but condemn the person for being a ‘yes man’ of Xanxus.

“I protect what I hold dearly from afar.” Was one of her last words to Squalo before she made it for the Japanese branch headquarters.  For Squalo, it is probably words that haunts him, knowing Sarina eventually died in a battle against the Funeral Wreaths.  As well as informing Alesso, her father of her death, and only getting a laugh from the man.  “She was weak.  I’m glad she’s gone.”

Xanxus

First Impression: “Angry Manbaby”

Latest Impression: “I like his future self much better.”

Desire to Fight: 99% “Will the Cloudy skies defeat the Stormy Skies?  Or simply add to them?”

She only respects his abilities, not the man himself.  However, when she does go to the future as ten-years-earlier self, she learns to respect what he’ll become or has the potential of becoming.  She will speak up against him if she disagrees with certain beliefs.  She is not afraid of defending herself when she should be.  If there comes a day when she is allowed to fight in tandem with him, she will, however for now she expects a great deal from him as well.  She understands he won’t always meet expectations and he doesn’t care about anyone’s expectations.

She holds him accountable for the previous actions, but she knows she has to forgive him not condone those actions.  She has a long way to go before she understands the man that he is becoming or has become.

It was strange to get an amicable grunt from Xanxus in the future.  She had lost her Cloud officer title and been banished to the Japanese branch of the Varia.  Her actions during the future arc are noted by the Varia after she came back.  However, she had a chance now to take the title back.

julius had just discovered about his own experimentations; those memories ⸻ of being injected, killing the scientists after he'd lost control ⸻ he had shackled away and compartmentalized. locked and buried deep within, yet always a nagging. a ghost of dreams, thinking them only bad nightmares, horrible intrusive thoughts that couldn't possibly⸻ but they were real. they were memories, and julius was not a human. hadn't been in decades, not since he'd been a young boy.

the rage he'd felt was indescribable. he couldn't stay with G.U.N any longer, knowing now what he did. & so julius sought to leave the base, but not before exacting some revenge. this organization had done nothing but take, take, take from julius. time he returned that favour.

before this though, he sought out agent stone. stone, julius had decided, was not part of the plan. stone was one julius couldn't bring harm to, no matter how annoyed and irritated he may be feeling. so, julius had told stone that they'd be parting ways, and stone was to leave the base. julius made up some small lie about stone being relocated to a different G.U.N base without him. convincing enough, julius decided. that done, he left, headed back to his own quarters.

& didn't exit from his 'room' for the next few days, planning.

of course, missing his duties meant that eventually the G.U.N base supervisor and some of his men were obligated to check in on robotnik. he could hear them now, knocking on the door and demanding that robotnik open the door, before they broke it down. he stood there, memories of those agonies ghosting along his ear.

he could feel it now, so easily: that power swelling within his chest, swirling and building, arcing down his arms and kissing his fingertips with warmth. he gathered that chaos energy into his palms, noting that bright red energy that gathered like a mist initially before transforming into a brighter plasma, a low bubbled laugh rolling out of julius' mouth at the sight. a grin split along his expression ⸻ HE WAS GOING TO ENJOY THIS ⸻, and he moved, hurling that sphere of chaos energy at the door the moment they breached; which caused an explosion to billow outward, engulfing the supervisor and the men behind him, causing the others to be blown off their feet.

alarms began to blare, explosions in another part of the base caused the lights to cut and for the emergency lights to kick in. washing the floor and the walls in a darker red. julius stepped out, over those bodies, barely paying them any mind. until his gaze landed on an unmoving person laying just a bit away from the main group.

stone.

julius stalled, staring. what⸻ he moved, scrambled, dropped to his knees and scooped that limp corpse body into his arms, eyes scanning and roaming stone's face for any signs of life. no, no- "y-you were supposed to leave," the words are hurried, hushed. julius had killed him⸻ NO, NO JULIUS COULDN'T HAVE⸻ NOT HIM

his shoulders twitched, hunching over stone's body, as though protecting him. useless. stupid. worthless. his breathing was quickened, as though gasping for air he couldn't suck in fast enough. he hadn't meant to- he couldn't- please, come back. "i'm sorry, i'm sorry!," the words were barely there, whispered, voice breaking, a choked catch of the last syllables. if he'd felt that energy building before, it was skyrocketing now. his entire body tensed up, a screamed wail of a noise that heightened into a louder angered sound: shrill and echoing and seemingly never-ending.

that energy burst outward, not in an explosion but a burning of fire, that energy arcing around julius' body. through tear-stained face, he watched as stone's body burned away in his arms. ash, slipping through his fingers, scattering along the floor only to blow away from that output of pressure. he had thought he'd lost everything before⸻ didn't realize until it was too late just how much more he had left yet to lose⸻

@milk-and-trickery (White Lily and Blueberry Yogurt)

White Lily had wandered towards the Silver Tree before stopping in front of it and stared at it for awhile as her expression was unreadable and the hero was deep in thought.

Ever since she became the new guardian of the Silver Tree; she's been doing everything she could to learn as much as possible about the power gifted to her by the late faerie king…

Wanting to know everything about it to fill and satisfy the curiosity that plagued her dough.

That’s when she discovered that she could peek inside of the tree; taking a glance inside of the prison if her heart desired it and with that piece of information discovered.

She couldn’t stop thinking about it as the cookie began to wonder what the prison was like inside of the tree and if it would allow her to take a peek at the other beasts as the only thing she got close was the silhouette paper puppets that the jester used in his play.

Thus, the visit to the Silver Tree to see if she could perform the magic.

She carefully placed her hand on the trunk, feeling the humming sound from the silver tree, before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes to focus. She knew it was dangerous but she just needed to know. Her mind would never rest until she got answers to her questions.

When White Lily opened her eyes; she found herself in what she could only simply describe as a black void and looking down on herself showed that she took on a ghostly appearance as her body was half transparent.

No doubt it was because she wasn’t truly inside the seal.

Regardless, White Lily wandered around to see if there was anything more to the prison instead the black void as surely that wasn’t it and a beast cookie had to be somewhere around even if she wasn’t planning to talk to them.

After all, why should she talk to them, especially Shadow Milk Cookie? Who would no doubt would not be happy to see her in the slightest.

Soon, the ancient hero sensed a presence nearby, causing her to wipe around, her eyes narrowing sharply, prepare to take a defense position, when she saw a glimpse of blue, however her expression shifted to a blank one when instead of the jester’s attic; the cookie was more regal in appearance.

It reminded her of a teacher or a scholar.

“Who are you?” She asked, her tone firm and her expression returning to the sharpness, and the hero held her staff out to create distance between them, as despite the scholar appearance; the other did resemble the jester’s appearance to a certain degree, which put her on edge.

Was it Shadow Milk Cookie or another cookie?

Although that would beg the question that if this wasn’t Shadow Milk Cookie then who was he?

And why were they in the seal?
