#but all later interviews he pushed that emil was just gay. but thinking about everything wrt emil i cant let go to the trans line

[abimee]

Just wanted to say i love ur nier art and hcs! It's super refreshing to see the girls drawn without boobs as big as their heads like they don't even look like that in the games😭😭😭 I adore their designs and I love looking at fanart of them but so many times it just annoys me w how crazy everyone makes their proportions or how people draw 2b to be all sensual like her ass would not be making that expression...anyway lmfao. I love ur art, a true nier character understander..I've also never thought of trans girl Emil but it makes perfect sense

YAY TY :] im such a similar situation esp w A2 because i really like how she seems to have no ass and a small chest at least compared to 2B so i get sad when people dont find that appealling and have to give her a big ass/chest. nobody likes a yorha unit built like toothbrush but i do.... ive always had it in my head that because shes an older model she was made under different specifications/w different materials so every part of her is super enforced steel while models like 2B have more rubber and carbon fiber (esp makes it easier to repair the body cause you can replace the rubber/fiber outer layer that protects the internals)

so while 2b has more realistic skin and body softness and so a more defined chest and ass due to essentially padding, a2 is like a barbie doll down to the chest carved into the metal so shes not as defined. a2 the napkin girlfriend that might fly out of the window etc etc

‘Tis me with part three

I’m only doing the mains because I’m lazy :’)

Here are some backstories that ended up being way more in depth than planned... oops. Logan also has the most basic background because I didn’t know what else to do. In short; I tried :,) I hope you all enjoy it regardless!

HERE’S PART ONE

HERE’S PART TWO

HERE’S PART FOUR

HERE’S A FLOOR PLAN

(Also some warnings: Angst, Deceit, Death mentions, One mention of a panic attack{not detailed}, bad explanations of things) Please let me know if I missed anything!

Logan:

He wants to do something with his life; preferably something with astronomy. The kid loves space damnit.

But what? Teaching? Be a freaking famous scientist? He doesn’t know.

He used to pretend he was teaching about stars to his stuffed animals (and Emile, against his will) but he was like 8, things change. 

When he was 17/18 he was still trying to figure it out and college was just slowly inching closer.

You would think he would have himself together by then, but nope!

His parents were kind of pushing him to get his act together.

Emile was also on his ass about it. He’s 24 and has his shit together already, time to help his baby bro out. 

They have a lovely discussion and figure a couple years at community college would be best until he figures his life out and then he can transfer to another school if he wanted to.

Emile also plops an application on his desk. 

 “What’s this?” “Step one to getting your life together.”

“Why?” “Do you want some money during your college years or not?”

He applied, was hired, and he hasn’t left yet.

Probably won’t any time soon.

... He’s still figuring it out.

Roman:

Roman was adopted when he was 5.

Romans parents were too young and they couldn’t support him so after he was born he was put with a foster family. (*cough* they end up adopting Roman later.)

But hey, Roman’s a naive 5 year old, he doesn’t really know wtf is going on. He just wants to play with his dinosaur toys.

His now parents explain more when he’s around 8/9 and from that point on he decides he’s going to be the best freaking kid in the universe.

He’s what we like to call an overachiever.

He joins any sport, any club. He acts, sings, paints, creates. He can play the flute. He needs to relax. 

He doesn’t admit it, but he secretly wants to gain some sort of approval from the people who weren’t in his life, even when he doesn’t know who they are. He knows they exist and it kind of pains him that he was “given up”. 

He knows the people that raised him will always be proud of him, but would they be proud if they knew him?

Fast-forward to when he’s 16 and decides to add one more thing to the list of things he has done in his life thus far. He applies for a job at Rainbow Mart. 

He nails the interview and is hired. He’s saving his money for college. He also doesn’t truly know what he wants to do either, but he’ll figure it out when he needs to. He’s thinking about something creative because that’s his true passion. The creative aspect of life :)

Patton:

Patton was the most adorable child, okay, let me tell you s o m e t h i n g.

He basically went up to his parents when he was 5 and said: “I want a brother!”

His parents were a little shocked at first but then basically go “Hey, why not?” They make like Sims and go for the “Try for baby” option. (I’m so sorry for wording it like that. My comedy is awful.)

But hey kids, this isn’t an angst-free zone. In short, they couldn’t have another baby. They kept trying over the course of a year and it just wasn’t happening. 

But sweet Patton, an optimistic little bean, doesn’t lose hope! He will get a baby brother or sister soon!

Fast-forward through a bunch of legal things and Pattons parents refusing to quit; after Patton turns 7 his parents bring home small (and silent) 4 year old Virgil.

“Mommy, why is he so quiet?” “He’s probably a little nervous sweetie, he needs time to adjust.” “...Okay but how long will that take?” “Patton...”

Patton has extreme determination to befriend his new brother. He has tried everything, but he still won’t speak. He offered a chance to play with his rubber ducks damnit, what else does Patton need to do?!

Patton thinks for a long time, and also becomes a bit dramatic by going into his moms' room and jumping onto the bed with a sigh.

“Mommy, he still won’t talk to me. It’s been ten y e a r s!” “Patton, it’s been two months.” “But that’s so l o n g!” “Patton...” 

All of a sudden you see him jump from the bed and excitedly talk about this kid named Timmy who speaks with his hands.

“Patton that’s sign language-” “Do you think he’ll talk to me if we learn that?!” “I don’t see why we can’t try.” (spoiler: it works)

Fast-forward nine years, he heard his friends from school were applying for jobs. To save for college, just to have some money, etc. He decides to apply to Rainbow Mart simply because he thinks the experience will be fun. He doesn’t really care about the money part.

Now a quick ending because his piece is long: He enjoys doing what he currently does so much. He thinks he wants to work his way up to a front end manager, he’s not really sure. As for college, he likes the sound of elementary teaching (maybe? possibly?), but he’s honestly comfortable with where he is. So he’s just at community college until he makes a final decision on where he wants to head in life.

Virgil:

Unfortunately, Virgils parents were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They got into a car accident when they were on the way home from work and didn’t make it. (Virgil was about 1)

Now a tale of two unfortunate circumstances: All of his grandparents passed away before he was born and both of his parents were only children. In short, he’s put into the foster system.

Unlike Roman, he hops around a bit. And after he turned 4 he was adopted. 

Virgil has a hard time talking to his new family, but hey, he’ll get used to it. It’ll be fine. 

But if this older boy doesn’t relax his 4 year old self might scream. 

After two months, Patton practically runs into his room with a book and goes “I know you don’t want to speak to me with your words, but how do you feel about speaking to me with your hands?!”

Virgil just shrugs and lets Patton teach him. 

When Virgil was around 5/6, he hugged Patton and Patton heard the audible words “You’re a great brother.” Patton cried, just a little bit.

Virgil grew more comfortable with audibly speaking to Patton, but school and making friends was a whole different story. 

When he was in fourth grade, a boy named Kyle sat next to him and wouldn’t stop talking. 

Virgil stayed silent. Kyle thought he couldn’t hear him so he starts signing everything because he has an older brother named Timmy who’s deaf. (Don’t we love connections?)

Virgil eventually grows comfortable with being audible and they’ve been best friends ever since. 

Fast-forward to 15 year old Virgil: Patton and Kyle are both simultaneously trying to convince Virgil to apply for a job at Rainbow Mart. (Kyle’s been there for about a year because of where their birthdays fall.) 

“C’mon man! It’ll be so much fun!” “I don’t know...”

“Yeah, Virge! Maybe it’ll break you out of your shell a little bit!” “Maybe...”

After about an hour of a mini-debate, he decides to apply. Patton makes cookies to celebrate. 

Virgil nearly had a panic attack during his interview, but Thomas made easier and said he could use sign language. They just had to find an interpreter and he was all set. 

Virgil's piece is also very long. Here’s another brief ending: Virgil is hired. He meets Belial and it’s not very pleasant. Virgil’s also planning on going to college but he doesn’t know what to do yet. He’s still in high school, he has a little more time.

Belial (Deceit):

I’m going to keep his short and to the point, I’m getting really lazy.

He’s evil for a reason, the reason being his parents. 

In short, they f-ed up the kids' emotional state. 

He’s that one kid on the playground with a little squad that walks around and kicks kids sand castles down.

All because he has anger management issues and takes his hatred towards his parents and places it onto others. 

When he turned 17, his parents said he was to either get a job or get out.

I’m pretty sure it’s obvious which choice he made. 

He wasn’t saving for college though, he was saving to get tf out when he was old enough to do so.

He worked his ass off, got an apartment at 19, decided to work full time at Rainbow Mart and was able to move his way up to a front end manager position.

Tune in next time where I possibly feel comfortable with writing some fluffy ship-posting. ;)
