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.

𝙃𝙀𝘼𝘿𝘾𝘼𝙉𝙊𝙉

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.

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!

[sansloii]

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

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.

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?"

Mokuba's Future Possibilities

If there is one word I can use to describe Mokuba it would be potential. The kid in both anime and manga storylines is so full of it that the possibilities for what his future will be are pretty much endless. That being said, I'm going to go into some general concepts for that future, with concepts for the anime storyline, the manga storyline, or ones that work for both. These are ideas that either can be solo ones or can be combined together depending on plotting.

I also want to take a second to thank some of the folks who participated in discussions or plotting sessions in relation to some of these possibilities. Talking with mutuals is where a lot of the best ideas come out, so I have to send out thanks to everyone for doing that with me! So thank you @shachou @ofhardknoxxx @relevc @cyberends @apricotheart and anyone else I might have forgotten (Because my memory is horrible, forgive me.)! I appreciate all of you for discussing some of these with me! <3

Alright, let's get started!

The Capsule King (Manga mainly but could be for the Anime)

Mokuba has always been known as a champion of Capsule Monsters Chess. So, naturally, and similar to his bro, he'd strive to be at the very top of the game, to be the 'King of the Capsule Monsters' (also known as the Capsule King). This is one of the goals that Mokuba sets for himself during his high school, and he works very hard on his skills constantly. He has resorted to cheating in the past (especially in the manga verse). It's something he was not proud of and wants to rectify. It's why he starts at the local competition level, building to a regional, national, and then worldwide level. I imagine he meets many friends and rivals during his climb to the top (things I'd love to explore btw. Capsule Monsters OCs anyone?). Eventually he wins the world championship tournament (that I imagine KC-sponsored) and gains the title of Capsule King that he defends fiercely for years to come.

Game Tech Developer (Anime / Manga)

Considering his own gaming love and having his brother as a role model / inspiration, it's only natural Mokuba would want to try a hand at his own projects. The three ideas I currently have for projects he'd work on would have to do with something with Capsule Monsters Chess, a VR game similar to the Legendary Hero’s one from that arc, and a sorta triple hybrid game combining elements from Capsule Monsters Chess, Duel Monsters, and Buddyfight (his top 3 favs). These would be ideas he cooks up or makes prototypes or blueprints for all on his own without any help from anyone.

It would be a testament of Mokuba's growth in his own skills, and that he truly is capable of doing something on his own, proving assumptions or insults people (such as his stepfather) have made about him over the years were wrong. And it could become his full time role at Kaiba Corp depending on how things go as well.

Head Of Kaibaland (Anime / Manga)

Kaibaland is just as much Mokuba's dream as it is Seto’s, and he's had a big hand in it since its creation. Not only in terms of proposing ideas but also creating ride and merch concepts, testing rides, and reviewing guest satisfaction and feedback surveys. So it’s only fitting he’d move up as the leading figure for Kaiba Land when he’s old enough and ready. He takes the position very seriously, more so than anything he’s ever done. This is his and Seto’s dream. He can’t mess it up.

Such a change in role might require either frequent business trips overseas or relocation altogether, depending on things (anime or manga storyline, other plotting details, etc.). Whatever the case may be, I imagine in his role he’d be a very hands on figure. He’d want to oversee every aspect, from the big picture to the finest details. His creativity I can see leading the brand to new places and directions, perhaps even expanding into other related hospitality or destination realms such as cruising. He’d also add more variety of content into the parks with collaborations from other places and IP, such as perhaps collabing with Suzuha on a Buddyfight related attraction.

Mokuba would also definitely still collaborate with his bro or seek his opinion on things. This is still their dream, after all. Being in charge wouldn’t change that for him I think. Besides, if there if one thing Mokuba loves, it’s working with his bro on something they both care about.

Duel Academia Inspector (Anime)

Considering Duel Academia is one of his brother's most important post-anime verse developments, it's only fitting that Mokuba would have a part to play. While he would be too old to attend as a student or too busy / not qualified to be a faculty member, I like to imagine he plays the role of an inspector, coming to the school on occasion to see how things are running and report back to his bro.

He certainly has his own opinions about certain things he sees (like the school having no prom is an outrage) and he’ll make them known to the staff and the students. He’ll even pitch in to incorporate changes if needed. Like the Slifer Red Dorm? He’d so want that to be upgraded.

During these visits Mokuba will also be on the lookout for potential candidates both for KC but also to sponsor for the pro league. He has a good eye for talent so he def takes the chance to try and scout when he can.

Creator of Riding Duels As A Concept (Anime)

It was never stated who was the specific creative mind behind Riding Duels creation. We only know it was Kaiba Corp’s doing. The idea of ‘card games on motorcycles’ seems like something to me a creative genius like Mokuba would come up, combining two types of popular competitive sports (dueling and racing) into one experience.

Do I think it was realized in his lifetime? Probably not since I bet by 5D’s Mokuba is either retired or has passed on. But I do think it’s an idea that he has made and possibly would share with his bro that probably wasn’t fit for the current market but was revisited down the line.

So while he probably didn’t design the mechanics or the way the tech works, I do think the core idea was his that was later expanded upon. Like the image of his big bro riding a motorcycle with Blue-Eyes flying above is something he’d totally imagine and think: “Huh. I could be onto something.”

Family Man / Best Uncle Ever (Anime / Manga)

Now, while I currently do not have any romantic ships for my Mokuba (something I am open to discussing, as I am with romantic ships in general), I am 1000% convinced he will one day find a partner and get married, much more likely than his brother. Whether he would have kids (or adopt a kid) is something I don't know yet (but I say it's more likely than not tbh), but regardless, he'd be the best uncle to both Seto's kids (if he ever had any) or any of his friend's kids. One for sure example is with his friend Gao's two sons: Yuga and Haru. He spoils those kids rotten and does all he can to be there for him. Same would go for any other kids of his friends or brother. He's so family-oriented that this makes natural sense for him.

So if you all got any next gen YGO babies (like the lovely @aorigashi, who Mokuba adores already just from our plotting sessions ), throw them at Mokuba cause this man was built to be an uncle, okay.

LET HIM LOVE YOUR BABIES!!!

Bonus: CEO of Kaiba Corp (Manga mainly but could be for anime)

This is a future possibility I’ll tell you all Mokuba doesn’t want (he was not happy I decided to put this on this post I'm just saying). He wouldn’t ever want to take his brother’s position. He knows how much he’s built his life around it and how important it is to him. The only way he’d ever take it is if he had no choice…which would only be one thing really: If Seto died.

If his brother died before his time, such as because of his actions in DSOD for example, he’d of course take the role in his brother’s stead. And by that I mean he’d make it his whole life. He’d do all he could to be a stand-in for his brother. He would start to talk like him, dress like him, and adopt any of his habits. He would, in this essence, cease being himself, which is a future that I’d argue would be the worst for him out of any possibility. After all, what’s the point of being ‘Mokuba’ without Seto around.

This concept is the basis for an au idea I have, actually, and I’d be down to explore it if anyone’s down despite the angst fest it be.

@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?

@arcxnumvitae | Muse Character Sheets | No Longer Accepting!

Because you specified Oli, I'll also say that in the royalty verse, he's...probably around 22-25!

For strength, the big dot is physical strength, and the little dot is magical strength. Technically as Laisren, that second dot would be in the 3 spot, because Oli's been training a while by that point!

And for the priorities, I know it's kinda obvious, but nothing comes even close to getting revenge for their parents. Love is also really low because they haven't been in love before, but that would absolutely swing to the other side of the spectrum when/if they did (thank that fae extraness, combined with being a romantic from watching their parents together while they were growing up)

[visionkept]

I am obliged to inform you all that in the modern verse Tomo sleeps with H.ELLO K.ITTY BED SHEETS. The reason behind it is simple, they were cheaper than ordinary bed sheets ( half the price and they sure needed to save the money ).
