#also jackass dying might be triggered by smth else?

[asthecrowrambles]

having oc thoughts and it'll be a while until i start writing it or drawing it out so. yeah! plot so far..

it starts in a world that's essentially filled with magic (named superpowers after old comics) in a sci fi thing after some radioactive thing started mutating everything on the planet but that's not really the point (more world building to be done, u might see this idea scrapped)

and there's this big company called whitecliffe industries running a lot of things on earth after rich ppl jumped ship to "live among the stars"(?). they steal the work of tala magboo bc they're intrigued by the fact that her AI displays signs of budding superpowers and after a while of fucking with the code, jackass and ellen are split from it :} sorta. idk. not a coder<3

anyways typical government experiment running free after years of abuse in the name of science, the twins escape

stuff happens, they get separated, jackass splits off and makes friends and ellen... doesn't :). well, she does find preston half dead in a sewer after being attacked by another escaped experiment (a parasite that lives in her eye socket)

stuff happens, jackass at first cool with supervillainy that ellen proposes as a way to get revenge, but due to morality being swayed by friends and also the horror of murder he backs out

ellen gets bitter, stuff happens, she and peter fuck(?) more stuff and OH NO jackass killed in virus addled anger :( but this is where ai superpowers from earlier??? kick in???

i haven't figured it out Yet but my thought is that jacks death jumpstarts ellens superpower, and she unconsciously uses both it and jacks power to create a timeloop

the thing about it is that she Forgets, just like everyone else so things keep repeating

but as time goes on and time becomes more compressed and folded in on itself, the previous realities sorta? bleed through? and memories come back more and more?

i want it to end happy with a character corruption then healing arc for ellen as she realizes that actually Friends Are Good and Don't Lash Out At People You Love (Because You Might Kill Them). idk? its hard to explain but like. think knives and vash sorta thing except ellen only wants to kill a company's worth of humans and not every human ever
