[lilac-gold]

Omori laughs are honestly wild. You could just have a regular 'haha', but no. No, instead they did this:

(Mr Jawsum)

(Sweetheart)

(Rococo)

they are incapable of being normal and i love that for them

Hero and the Something Character Descriptions

Hero and the Something is my latest OMORI brainrot project. It's a retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast fairy tale through OMORI characters. I tried to keep the characters as close to their canon personalities as possible, while still fitting the basic story structure. Without further ado, here's the cast:

Hero

Hero is one of the two leads of the story, a young peasant living in a small village near Pyrefly Forest. Forced to support his family after his parents' death, Hero works himself to the bone under Jawsum to provide for his siblings Kel and Sally, all while avoiding the advances of Sweetheart. When Kel was captured by a mysterious monster, Hero exchanged himself for his brother.

Mari

The second lead character. Mari is the eldest child of the Suzuki dynasty and the heir to the Kingdom of Faraway... or at least she was before her perfectionism and temper got herself and her castle cursed. For the past four years, the princess has been stuck in the monstrous form of Something. Only true love can break the curse, but will she be able to find it before the last petal falls from her enchanted rose?

Sunny

The prince of Faraway, and Mari's beloved younger brother. He broke his violin, an important royal heirloom, the day before he and Mari were set to perform for their parents. Shortly after breaking the violin, the curse fell upon the castle. Because of this, Sunny blames himself for the curse, and hasn't let his room for four years. The curse turned him into a violin.

Aubrey

A young runaway turned squire, Aubrey views Mari as the older sister/mother figure she never really had. She is fiercely devoted to the royal siblings. She and Sunny remain oblivious to each other's obvious mutual crushing. The curse turned her into a plush rabbit.

Basil

Sunny's best friend and the castle gardener. Basil is the most optimistic of the main friend group, and still believes that the curse can be broken after four years. Since he wasn't traumatized in this AU, he's the most divergent from his canon personality. The curse turned him into a camera with tripod legs.

Kel

Hero's adventurous younger brother. He tries to always be optimistic and push Hero to live for himself as well as his family, since Kel ultimately just wants to see his brother happy. Like Hero, Kel would do anything for his siblings - even venture into creepy castles in the middle of the forest.

And now the minor characters:

Molly, Marina and Medusa

The Slime Sisters - fierce and twisted sea witches. When Mari refused to shelter them during a storm, they placed a terrible curse on the princess, her castle and all who lived there.

Sally

Hero and Kel's baby sister. The two brothers would do anything for her.

Sweetheart

The self-proclaimed 'greatest beauty in the kingdom' and head of a confectionary empire, Sweetheart has one goal: to find the perfet spouse. To this end, she has set her sights on Hero, and will stop at nothing to get what she believes is her happy ending.

Angel and Mikhail (The Maverick)

Sweetheart's goons. If they're not at their mistress' side, they're probably tormenting people on her orders - usually Hero and Kel.

Rococo and Mincy

The castle artist and his apprentice. They hitch a ride out of the castle with Kel, yearning for a new life after four years under the curse. They were turned into a paintbrush and a fountain pen respectively. They've been living with Kel since leaving the castle, and Mincy has found herself strangely drawn to the young man.

Polly

The castle apothecary and Basil's guardian. She blames herself for being unable to find a cure to the curse. Acts as a surrogate mother for Basil and Aubrey, and has to step in when the teasing from one gets on the nerves of the other. She was turned into a garden hose.

Mr Jawsum

Hero's employer. He holds the young man in perpetual debt. Is an actual anthropomorphic shark for reasons unknown.

Kim and Vance

Squires who live in Pyrefly castle. Thanks to the curse, Vance is a serving trolley and Kim is a grabby dinosaur toy.

Daphne and Bowen

The head chefs of the castle, now a rolling pin and an oven respectively.

Sean and Karen

Maitre d' and maid, now salt and pepper shakers.

Brandi and Bebe

Mari's lady-in-waiting and her younger sister. The curse turned them into a brandy decanter and a shot glass.

Cris

The castle aquaculturalist, responsible for keeping the ponds clean and stocked. Now a blahaj.

Mewo

Mari and Sunny's beloved royal pet kitten. The curse turned Mewo into a roomba.

Hector

Hero and Kel's dog. Certified good boy.

Rai

The castle bard, now a jukebox.

Klaus and Del

OCs borrowed from StarkCanvas. The captain of the guard and the majordomo of the castle. The curse turned them into a sword and a phone (a Delphone!).
