#exo superpowers

[bobombun]

Destiny 2 keeps being very confusing and throwing me into prologues of expansions I don't have, and I keep having "good to see you again after that time in The Place" convos with people I have never seen before, so now I just hc my guardian as having the worst superpower, which is jumping back and forth in time uncontrollably, which leaves him with a very fragmented idea of what's going on, but he's a pro at adjusting.

I sure hope no one will notice and take advantage of his willingness to go along with anybody who even implies already being good friends with him or his superior... 👀

Cherry Blossoms || Kyungsoo

D.O. x Reader (Fantasy + Royal AU)

No plagiarizing my work please.

Summary:  “Did you know,” he once told me with a smile. “That cherry blossoms in this kingdom have a special meaning behind them?”

Groaning, you rose your hands up to rub the sleep off of your eyes. Blinking a couple of times, you frowned when you noticed the spot next to you empty.

“Kyungsoo?” you whispered softly and sat up slowly, noticing how your boyfriend was nowhere to be found in your room. A thought suddenly came into your mind and you let out a sigh before slumping back into the soft mattress.

You knew where he was.

In the forest.

The Dreaded 8

Part 1

In an instant, chaos erupted as the gang descended upon the villagers with ruthless efficiency. Men were disarmed and wrestled to the ground, their cries swallowed by the guttural growls of the Black Hole Gang. They were corralled into a cage, their freedom snatched away in a heartbeat. Women and children were dragged from their homes and locked up separately, their cries drowned out by the clamor of the invaders.         Eight-year-old I-seul pressed her ear against the rough wooden wall, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird. Outside, the villager’s screams and the intruders' laughter could be heard. She squeezed her younger brother, In-soo, tighter, his small frame trembling against hers.

"Don't make a sound, In-soo," she whispered fiercely, her voice thick with fear.

In-soo, barely five, stared up at her with wide, tear-filled eyes, a silent understanding passing between them. Their small house offered little refuge, the sparse cupboard barely more than a dusty crawl space.

I-seul squeezed her eyes shut, a choked sob escaped her throat, hot tears tracing paths down her grime-streaked cheeks.

Suddenly, the creak of the front door shattered the fragile silence. One figure, his silhouette hulking and menacing, filled the doorway. Sunlight struggled to penetrate the darkness he cast, swallowed whole by his imposing form.

I-seul 's breath hitched in her throat. This wasn't a shadow from stories – this was a real, tangible threat. Panic flooded her, cold and sharp. Tears blurred her vision as a calloused hand clamped onto her shoulder and yanked her roughly from the cupboard's meager shelter.

With a strangled whimper, I-seul clung to In-soo's hand, her small frame dwarfed by the burly figure who shoved her towards a growing throng of others. Helplessness washed over her, the fear a bitter taste on her tongue. None of them could hide from them.

As the villagers were herded away, Scorpio's patience wore thin, his tolerance for their pleas for mercy nothing more than a nuisance. With a dismissive wave, he ordered his followers to ransack the houses, their greed driving them to pillage whatever treasures they could find.         Returning to the village square with their ill-gotten gains, Scorpio surveyed the spoils with a satisfied smirk. "Well done," he praised with a sinister smile. "You've done admirably. And look, you've even managed to scrounge up some food. Let us celebrate tonight. Prepare everything!"

As night descended and the flames of the campfire cast flickering shadows over the ravaged village, the gang reveled in their conquest, their laughter echoing through the night like a sinister chorus. Scorpio, seated at the center of the debauchery, turned his gaze towards the huddled mass of children. They stood trembling, their faces etched with terror, a stark contrast to the joyous revelry.

"Dance," Scorpio commanded, his voice a chilling whisper. "Or your parents will suffer the consequences."

But despite the threat, not a single child dared to move, their defiance a silent display to the indomitable spirit that still flickered within them, even in the face of unimaginable terror.

"You will pay for what you have done to our village! They will come and help us!" Kang-Dae 's voice, ragged with emotion, cut through the tension. His defiance, an echo of his fallen father's courage, rang clear against Scorpio's laughter.

The gang leader's amusement vanished, replaced by a dangerous glare. "What did you say?" Scorpio's voice rumbled, intimidating, as he closed the distance in a single menacing stride, towering over the boy.

But Kang-Dae didn't flinch, meeting Scorpio's gaze with unwavering determination. "You heard me," he declared, his voice trembling slightly but holding firm. "Help will come."

A scoff escaped Scorpio's lips, contempt etched across his features. "No one's coming to help you pathetic lot. This village belongs to me now, and you'll do as I say. Someone will have to be punished for your cheeky mouth."       With a dismissive gesture, he signaled his men forward. "Bring me his mother...and a torch."

The boy's whispered plea fell on deaf ears as the gang dragged his mother forward, torch in hand. Panic gripped the onlookers as the grim reality of Scorpio's tyranny unfolded before them. "No! Let her go. Eomma!" his voice cracking with desperation. Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring his vision.

"You should have thought of that earlier," Scorpio sneered, his voice dripping with sadistic amusement. "Now, you'll all learn what happens when you defy me."

Screams tore through the air as the children and some of the women who had to serve the assailants watched in horror. Kang-Dae, fueled by desperation, charged at Scorpio, but his efforts were futile against the gang leader's strength. Scorpio grabbed him and pulled him towards his mother. With a cruel grin, Scorpio brandished the torch, ready to mete out his punishment. "Watch closely," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice.

But before he could carry out his threat, a sudden icy gust of wind ripped through the village square, extinguishing the flames in an instant. A deafening crack of thunder boomed overhead, its echo shaking the ground and momentarily silencing the chaos below. Only the small lanterns on the houses remained intact, casting flickering pools of light. In the sudden darkness, amidst the rustling of leaves and panicked gasps, the children and women seized the opportunity. With a flurry of small figures slipping through the shadows, they made their escape unnoticed in the confusion.

"Who dares to disturb me?" Scorpio's voice hissed with venom as his gang gathered around him, their eyes fixed on the commotion at the village entrance. The silence stretched, punctuated only by the crackling embers of the extinguished torch. "Look, there at the village entrance!" one of the women shouted, drawing everyone's attention. All eyes turned towards the dark archway that marked the village entrance.

Eight imposing silhouettes emerged from the gloom, their forms solidified against the first rays of moonlight that pierced through the storm clouds. A palpable aura of power radiated from them, a silent promise of retribution.        Scorpio's face contorted in a snarl, surprise giving way to simmering rage. His grip tightened on the boy, who flinched but stood his ground, fueled by a spark of hope.  "I knew they would come!" Kang-Dae exclaimed defiantly, his voice ringing out in the tense silence. The figures stepped into the circle of light cast by the village lanterns, their faces obscured by shadows. A glint of silver flashed in the hand of the figure at the front, the polished surface of a katana blade catching the moonlight. Murmurs rippled through the crowd. "The Dreaded 8!" the children chorused, their voices tinged with both fear and awe.

The Dreaded 8, also known as the Thunderous 8, were no ordinary outlaws; they were renegades who fought for the greater good, beholden to no one and driven by their own moral compass. Each possessed extraordinary abilities that made them formidable adversaries.

Emerging from the gloom of the village entrance, the Dreaded 8 stood silhouetted against the first rays of moonlight. Unlike the Black Hole Gang's dark attire, they were clad in crimson camouflage suits, their faces unobscured. The villagers, hearts hammering in their chests, watched with a mixture of trepidation and hope. The Dreaded 8 were a force to be reckoned with, their legend whispered in hushed tones across settlements. Could they truly be their saviors?

To be continued...

[wjbs-bonkle-au]

Bionicle Superhero AU thing but I'm actually like pinning down some aspects the actual lore I guess (some of which are retcons of stuff from here) in a somewhat disjointed way that I might elaborate more on in the form of a document or diagram or something.

Also if you want more details on a specific thing, just like. Send an ask or whatever. Especially since a lot of this stuff is kinda limited compared to what I could do in one of those other formats.

World

The whole thing takes place on Earth.

Metru City, the main location, is a sort of pastiche of Metropolis from DC, and therefore a stand-in for New York.

If Metru City is Metropolis, then its neighbour, Voya City, is Gotham, being much darker and having a very obvious class divide. It's also kinda inspired by Steelport from Saints Row: The Third, being a run-down industrial city that serves as the base of operations for a powerful crime syndicate.

(Almost) everyone's names are different, but to avoid confusion and because I want to have like a full name list I'll use their canon names. Exceptions will be noted. Characters who lack canon names will have their names [in square brackets].

There are original characters, but they won't be listed here.

There is a metanarrative that's mostly an excuse to talk about hypothetical in-universe game and film adaptations, and also the specific decades different characters and universes are introduced and their earlier versions in cases where I actually have an idea for that.

Alternate timelines/universes

G2

A version of the main timeline where everything is more futuristic, the Mata look and act differently (and are all like 5 years younger), and the Inika and Metru are completely different people entirely (with the Metru acting as the Inika's mentors).

Instead of the Makuta being a species, there is now a single being called Makuta, who is this universe's equivalent of Karzahni. Rather than retiring from godhood and becoming a back-alley surgeon, he was imprisoned for millenia awakening every 100 years; whenever he awakens, he is eventually defeated by...

Ekimu, a warrior that is reincarnated every century and is destined to return Makuta to his imprisonment. This universe's Takua is the next incarnation of Ekimu and can transform into him, magical girl-style. However, every time Ekimu incarnates, so does Umarak, an underling of Makuta with shadow-based powers; the current incarnation of Umarak is this timeline's version of Ahkmou.

Metru City is now called Okoto City and is much larger, covering some of the area that's occupied by Voya City in the main timeline.

There are a few heroes and villains who only exist in this timeline, e.g Exo (who is technically this timeline's version of Dume; more on that further down), Kulta's Skeleton Army, the Elemental Beasts, etc.

Some aspects of this timeline are inspired by Dimension 23 from Ben 10 Omniverse, for example the fact that a lot of characters have different stuff going on than in canon (e.g Vezon is the mayor of Okoto City) and that the "main" heroes are a lot more immature than their main-timeline counterparts.

Empire

Literally just the Toa Empire universe, with very few changes. Tuyet and Nidhiki killed Lhikan, Tuyet declared herself god-empress, and now the world sucks.

Invasion

A morality-swap universe where the Spherans destroyed their own planet and invaded Earth; the Makuta have light powers and are attempting to liberate the planet, and what (specifically human) characters do and don't have superpowers are swapped.

Technically the equivalent of the Melding, albeit much worse.

Opposite

An inversion of the main universe; the Skrall attacked and destroyed Earth, so humanity travelled through space and made contact with Spherus Magna.

The equivalent of the Spherus Magna Alternate Universe, though instead of the plot never happening, the plot actually happened the other way around.

Doomed

A world created when Jaller attempted to use the Mask of Time to travel back and save Matoro; the Skrall's superweapon fired, but missed Earth and hit the moon. However, the radiation from the blast turned most of Earth into a desert; a large amount of Earth's population is dead, and Matoro lives in self-imposed exile. However, what remains of humanity have managed to piece together a new civilisation in what used to be Metru City.

The equivalent of the Kingdom.

City of Silver

A film-noir universe where all the old heroes are still active and in their prime, the Metru and Mata are children, and the Inika haven't even been born.

Superpowers are much rarer, and are mostly explained as being magic, or changed to be more realistic (e.g Dume's ability to instantly repair things is just him being really good at fixing stuff, and Jovan's magnetism comes from a pair of electromagnetic gauntlets).

The Barraki are all a single crime family rather than a syndicate, and rather than being immortal, they are all descendants of the original Barraki (though they mostly look the same as their main-timeline counterparts (albeit in period-accurate clothing), with the exceptions of Carapar, Ehlek and Pridak, who are women). Nocturn is one of the few explicitly-supernatural things in the universe.

While it's named after the City of Silver Pocket-Dimension from Bionicle canon, this universe is conceptually inspired by Earth 90214 from Marvel and also Fallen Aces kinda and really just the whole "proto-superhero" concept.

Earth B

A world where everything is a little bit... off. The Mata and Metru aren't superheroes, the Inika Fanclub are older than the Inika and act like mentors to them, Voya City and Metru City swap names, Axonn and Brutaka are supervillains, there are no Makuta or Spherans, and the Piraka are high-ranking gangsters instead of CEOs, among other changes.

Basically this AU's excuse to reference Bionicle Heroes PC/Console's weird BS (other than the main-timeline Piraka's respective businesses).

Golden Age

The original versions of the Metru, Mata, Mangai and Hagah from the early-1930s to the mid-1950s.

Some characters' genders and even races are different, and the queer characters are all. Not that.

The characters' jobs are also different, e.g Lewa is a circus performer instead of a professional gymnast, Pohatu is an explorer instead of a footballer, and Tahu is a scientist instead of a firefighter.

Various characters and factions don't exist in this timeline, as they weren't introduced (in the metanarrative) until later; this includes the Inika and Barraki (who first appeared in the mid '60s), the Cordak and Order of Mata Nui/Federation of Fear (who first appeared in the early '70s), and the Hero Factory (who first appeared in the late '90s).

The Chiara Games

Essentially the AU's equivalent of the Arkhamverse; in the metanarrative, Chiara has her own videogame series. They include grittier reimaginings of her rogues gallery, and plots adapted (usually somewhat loosely) from the comics. There are also a few original characters.

The games play like a cross between actual Arkham games, but with elements of Dishonored, and Zeno Clash in its stealth and combat, respectively; the former works somewhat differently (you can't grapple up to overhanging scenery, but you have superpowers like a medium-range electric shock that can stun guards and disable security cameras), and the latter is based around attacking individual enemies while avoiding other nearby ones rather than bouncing between multiple enemies in a horde.

Very few other superheroes appear, though some that don't appear are mentioned occasionally, and some of their villains show up as bosses.

While Chiara is the main protagonist, Zaria and Vezon are playable in some of the games; the former has a more combat-focused gameplay style, while the latter is even more stealth focused (since his powers are being restrained).

Other minor worlds that I don't have much to say about

The Shadow Timeline (a more straightforward morality-swap than the Invasion; the Shadow Toa come from this timeline)

Cosmic Nightmares (Lovecraft-inspired early 20th century cosmic-horror take on the main universe; Artakha, Karzahni and Mata Nui are unfathomable elder-gods, Teridax is more obviously an alien pretending to be a human, and no-one has superpowers)

Manga (a manga version of the main "comic" where everything is at least somewhat different; based on similar real-world things)

Chiara: The Animated Series (an animated series about Chiara, which introduced a lot of elements that would be used in later parts of the canon)

Pirates (arrrrr, they be pirates!)

Cinematic Universe (the equivalent of both the MCU and the DCEU)

Zombies (because of course)

Obligatory boring realistic version where everything has to make sense and no-one has superpowers (yeah that)

Cheesy 1960s Toa Mata live-action TV show (which is where the idea of Tahu being a fireman instead of a scientist came from)

Assorted one-off what-ifs (including but not limited to "what if the Mata received their powers from Karzahni instead of Artakha?", "what if Umbra had awakened in the 1880s?", "what if the Chronicler's Company were the most recent incarnations of the Inika?", and "what if Pohatu was a wild-west gunslinger?")

Superhero teams

Mata/Nuva

Six heroes from the Mata district, with element-based superpowers gained by exposure to relics created by Artakha, the god of crafting.

An extremely successful oil baron, and a former engineer; doesn't have any powers, but instead used his engineering skills to build a powerful exoskeleton out of sheer boredom.

His exo-suit has thermal and infrared vision, can adapt to an opponent's abilities or fighting-style, and its limbs contain multiple guns and lasers.

Had a one-sided rivalry with Nuparu's father, who "stole" the "victory" of having his design chosen for Metru City's robotic defenders. After he murdered him, the hate then extended to Nuparu himself, who witnessed the murder and was approaching his father's level of technological aptitude, the latter of which set off Reidak's hate.

His G2 counterpart is a full-on cyborg, with almost a third of his head replaced by cybernetics, as well as his entire right arm up to the shoulder.

Zaktan

A famous architect and ameteur explorer; gained his powers after activating a mysterious, seemingly magical trap in a temple, which broke his body down into a swarm of flies.

Along with being made of flies, Zaktan can also fire lasers from his eyes.

His G2 counterpart has insectoid mandibles next to her mouth, as well as large dragonfly-like wings and an abdomen with a stinger.

Avak

The owner of the museum that Whenua works at, and an archaeologist who is infamous for stealing the artifacts his expedition crews unearth; while at a dig, he accidentally activated a mysterious, seemingly magical mechanism (while trying to hide it in his pocket), which gave him his powers.

He has X-ray vision, and can summon energy-cages to trap opponents.

His G2 counterpart is made out of a marble-like substance that can shapeshift into different forms.

Thok

The CEO of a lumber company, with an interest in mountain-climbing; while trying to climb Mount Mangaia (which is located in the Pacific in this AU), he fell into a cavern that was actually one of the engines of Teridax's ship, and the alien particles within gave him superpowers.

He can disorientate his opponents, and is also more resistant to the cold.

His G2 counterpart has multiple ice-spikes sticking out of her head instead of hair, as well as "talons" made of ice. She also wears a lot of fur coats.

Barraki

Six ancient kings who attained immortality thousands of years ago, but lost their thrones after the first holders of the Inika title defeated them; they have since become the heads of a very powerful crime syndicate, with their headquarters in the middle of Voya City, hiding behind the front of Kingdom Security Solutions.

Each Barraki controls a sixth of the city, and has their own themed gang.

Their names are all the same as in canon.

In the G2 timeline, they weren't granted true immortality, but instead tranferred into magical stone bodies resembling humanoid versions of their canon selves' respective animals.

Pridak

The leader of the Barraki's current iteration.

Greying but handsome.

Likes wearing white suits, which tend to get stained with blood very quickly.

Eats people, which is the most common reason for him getting blood on his suits.

The leader of the Piranhas; classier criminals who wear white and red.

Kalmah

Covered head-to-toe in scars from many fights, and is missing his left eye.

Wears a bulletproof vest at all times, and is rarely seen in public without the three-eyed demon mask he wore when he was still a king.

The leader of the Krakens; an army of super-strong brawlers that have facial tattoos based on Kalmah's mask.

Ehlek

Weak and emaciated from a combination of spending years Not Doing Shit™, and also just being like that I guess. Relies on Nocturn to do all the fighting for him. Speaks almost exclusively in his culture's language (which is basically just Latin).

Still wears his regalia from when he was a king.

The leader of the Anguillae; warriors that carry swords, spears and shields, and wear armour modelled after the soldiers of Ehlek's kingdom, with eel motifs on the shoulders, a helmet shaped like a sea serpent's head, and Ehlek's coat of arms on the chest and shields.

Mantax

Very buff.

Wears tactical combat gear 24/7.

The leader of MANTA; a squadron of stealth snipers that silently assassinate the Barraki's high-priority opponents.

Carapar

Big in all directions.

Wore the most casual outfit out of all the Barraki; a white tank-top, a pair of canvas trousers, and also metal kneepads I guess.

He also wore a bandolier, despite rarely ever carrying a weapon that would require one. He saw it in an action movie once and thought it looked cool.

The leader of Claw; a militia armed with powerful weapons.

He was briefly part of the Federation of Fear, but died during the mission to rescue Miserix.

Takadox

Skinny murder-twink.

Wears an incredibly garish cyan suit, large red-tinted round-lens sunglasses, and silver high-heeled boots with bladed heels.

The leader of the Peacocks; flamboyant fighters who weaponise dancing.

He briefly became part of the Federation of Fear and went on the mission to resuce Miserix, but then abandoned the team early on.

Nocturn

A strange aquatic being that protected Ehlek's kingdom millenia ago. No other members of his species have ever been recorded, and his appearance is basically a combination of unrelated aquatic species in a somewhat humanoid form (a head resembling a crab, but with a shark's mouth; a pair of tentacles on his shoulders, one of which has been cut down to a stump; frog-like webbed hands and feet, but with claws like a crocodile; anemone-like fronds across his back), making it likely he was created through supernatural means.

Fights on behalf of Ehlek, who is too frail to do so himself.

Dark Hunters

A worldwide assassin organisation.

Most of the members are also standalone villains, and a few even left the organisation at some point. They're just sorted here for convenience.

The Shadowed One

The leader of the Dark Hunters.

Like in canon, he does have a name, but everyone just calls him "The Shadowed One".

Roodaka

The wealthy heiress of a major weapons company.

Has a PHD in bioengineering, which she used to create a substance that mutates people.

Her City of Silver counterpart is an archetypical film-noir femme fatale, who is also the woman-behind-the-man for Sidorak.

Her G2 counterpart is a cyberneticist who uses nanites to forcibly augment her captives.

Shadow Stealer

An extremely edgy '90s villain who, in the metanarrative, managed to stay a regular recurring antagonist into the 21st century, being reimagined as either a serious threat or a goofy parody depending on the writer. In the AU's main "comic run", he's the former, with a faintly-Lovecraftian cosmic horror twist to his design and backstory.

He was a researcher in the 1920s, who found a mysterious artifact belonging to an ancient civilisation that worshipped a being known as Tren Krom. The artifact granted him immortality and the ability to control people by manipulating their shadows, but the twisted his soul, turning him into his current form.

His original '90s premise was just that he was an evil Tren Krom hooded-cultist guy who inexplicably was absolutely ripped, had like 10 belts across his entire outfit, and could kill people by ripping their shadows out of their bodies. He was also technically a hero, but this was changed later on when he was rewritten as part of the Dark Hunters.

Mimic

A warrior who can recreate any action he sees another perform.

Part of Chiara's rouges gallery, though they have worked together in the past.

His wife was critically injured in an earthquake and is now on life support. Mimic works for the Dark Hunters in an attempt to help pay for the treatments required to keep her alive; in the metanarrative, this backstory was created in the '90s as part of the Chiara animated series, and became a major part of Mimic's character going forwards yes that is a Cold Cold Heart reference.

In the G2 timeline, Mimic was injured instead, and his wife has the whole action-copying gimmick instead.

Kulta

A time-displaced king from an ancient civilisation.

His G2 counterpart is undead, and commands the Skeleton Army (who don't exist in the main timeline).

Lariska

Literally just canon!Lariska but human.

Was briefly part of the Federation of Fear, but left after their mission to rescue Miserix from Antiderm Inc.; however, she still helps the Order of Mata Nui from time to time.

Teridax's Rebellion

A group of Makuta who tried to usurp their planet's leaders, but ended up being banished into space.

In the G2 timeline, they are all regular humans, and have their human disguises' names as their actual names.

Teridax

The leader of a failed rebellion against the Makuta homeworld's leaders.

His name is still Teridax in this AU. This applies to all other Makuta.

His human disguise is "Terrence Daxter", CEO of Antiderm Inc.

Antroz

His human disguise is "Andrew Rose", head of Antiderm's materials research department.

Vamprah

His human disguise is "Vance Emporia", head of Antiderm's nutritional research department.

Chirox

His human disguise is "Kai Roscoe", head of Antiderm's sonics research department.

Gorast

Her human disguise is "Gloria Aster", head of Antiderm's neurological research department.

Bitil

His human disguise is "Bill Tilford", head of Antiderm's quantum research department.

Krika

His human disguise is "Christopher Calford", head of Antiderm's communications department.

Kojol

His human disguise is "Cody Jones", head of Antiderm's cybersecurity department.

Tridax

His human disguise is "Tristan Daxter", head of Antiderm's dimensional-travel research project, and also "Terrence Daxter"'s brother.

Icarax

His human disguise is "Icarus Ragnarsson", Antiderm's head of security.

Sidorak

A corrupt politician who Teridax was lobbying as part of his attempt to take over the world.

Was married to Roodaka, but she ended up mutating Sidorak into a giant spider-monster that fought the Metru and was killed by Keetongu.

His City of Silver counterpart is a mob boss, though he's really just a puppet for Roodaka.

The Zyglak

Carnivorous creatures from the Makuta homeworld.

A swarm of them are responsible for the deaths of most of the students at Orde's school, including almost all of the Cordak.

Miserix

A member of the Makuta council who Teridax's rebellion managed to capture, and ended up being brought with them when they went to Earth. The Federation of Fear were sent on a mission to rescue him from a prison under the Antiderm Inc. headquarters, which led to the deaths of Carapar and Spiriah.

His preferred form is a large, dragon-like creature, based on a creature from the Makuta homeworld.

Doesn't have a name for his human disguise, since he improvised it during the Federation of Fear's rescue mission, and went back to his big scary dragon form afterwards.

His G2 timeline counterpart is called "Mr. Ricks", and is Antiderm HQ's elderly head janitor who has been working there since before Teridax became the CEO.

The Shadow Toa

Evil counterparts of the Mata from an alternate timeline, brought into the main reality by Tridax.

Their overall backstories are the same (six random people who were given elemental artifacts created by Artakha), but their jobs and personalities are different.

Tahu

An arsonist who was given fire-based powers.

Gali

A pirate who was given water-based powers.

Onua

An archaeologist who was given earth-based powers.

Once went on an expedition led by Avak, but was forced to leave after Avak caught him attempting to steal one of the recovered artifacts.

Lewa

A thief who was given air-based powers.

Pohatu

A mob enforcer who was given stone-based powers.

Kopaka

A "tour guide" (actually a con artist who intentionally gets people lost in dangerous and remote places, then refuses to return them if they don't give him their money) who was given ice-based powers.

Takanuva

Has shadow powers instead of light.

Other factions (and also species)

The Order of Mata Nui

An organisation that helps fund and support Superhero teams, as well as storing dangerous artifacts and imprisoning superpowered criminals.

Their name comes from a mythical warrior who is said to only appear when the entire world is in imminent danger; Helryx, who founded the organisation, does not believe that Mata Nui was a real being, but instead named the Order after him because the organisation's goal was similar.

While the public knows they exist, their agents are required to keep their identities secret to anyone outside the Order for the safety of both the agents and their loved ones.

Helryx

The Order's founder and leader.

In a secret relationship with a Spheran scientist; after the Spherans finally revealed their existence to the public, Helryx proposed to her, and they got married.

Axonn

The Order's quartermaster, and a former agent.

Can sense if people are telling the truth.

Married to Brutaka; even when Brutaka was mind-controlled by Teridax, Axonn still tried to save him, and they stayed together afterwards.

Hydraxon

A high-ranking agent in charge of the Order's prison, The Pit.

During a successful escape attempt by the Barraki, Hydraxon was stabbed to death by Takadox.

Dekar Sr.

An agent who inherited Hydraxon's position after his death.

Umbra

An ancient demigod who was entombed underground in case the Ignika was disturbed. He awakened in the 1980s when he sensed that the mask has been unearthed, emerging from underneath the roller-rink that had been built on top of where he was hidden, and soon became enamoured with the popular culture of the time, taking his name from a movie poster, adopting a glam-rock fashion sense, and wearing a pair of rollerblades at all times. The rollerblades were eventually upgraded by the Order to have built-in rocket boosters.

Has a very close friendship with Jovan's daughter, who helped him adjust to the modern world.

His name is still Umbra in this AU.

In the G2 timeline, he was instead awakened in the 1990s, and dresses like a character from The Matrix. His purpose in this timeline is to prevent the Mask of Ultimate Power from falling into the wrong hands.

Krakua

The vocalist of a '90s pop band, and currently a superpowered Order of Mata Nui operative.

Partially responsible for the existence of the Order of Mata Nui's UK branch.

Can manipulate sound-waves.

Mazeka

A fan of Krakua's band; he joined the Order and discovered that one of his heroes coincidentally happened to also work there.

He lost most of his limbs and half of his face to a bomb set up by Carapar's gang, and had them replaced with prosthetics.

Tobduk

An Order commander who becomes stronger the angrier he gets, so he stays constantly angry at all times.

Helryx has an entire portion of the Order's funding set aside to replace the equipment that Tobduk breaks.

Trinuma

An extremely prolific agent who has rejected multiple offers of promotion. He has technopathic abilities.

Johmak

An Order assassin who can turn herself into a storm of glass-shards.

Jerbraz

Literally just canon Jerbraz but as a human and with a sniper-rifle instead of a sword.

Botar

A massive human/wolf hybrid, equipped with a Spatial Tether that lets him teleport directly to the Order's underground prison, The Pit.

Lost his memory after seemingly (but not actually) being killed in an explosion, and created a new identity.

Maxilos

The Pit's robotic guards. Basically the same as in canon, but with sci-fi weaponry instead of swords.

In the City of Silver timeline, they look more dieselpunk, have more grounded weaponry (by which I mean actual guns instead of lasers) and communicate via prerecorded clips rather than text-to-speech, but are otherwise the same.

"Terigold"

An alternate version of Teridax from a world where everyone's morality is reversed; his true form's exoskeleton is gold instead of black, and he can manipulate light rather than shadows. He can still shapeshift like his main-universe counterpart.

In his home-timeline, he's the leader of a resistance against the Spheran invasion.

His fake human name is "Daxter Terrence", which is coincidentally an inversion of main-timeline Teridax's fake human name.

Federation of Fear

Organised by the Order of Mata Nui to be an expendable taskforce fo dealing with extremely dangerous threats; literally just the Suicide Squad.

Unlike in canon they have more than 7 members, were active long before the "rescue Miserix" mission, and continue to be active afterwards.

Their most well-known missions (in the metanarrative) include the Miserix rescue, fighting an army of skeletons, and helping to defeat Marendar.

Brutaka

The Federation of Fear's handler.

Married to Axonn; even when Brutaka was mind-controlled by Teridax, Axonn still tried to save him, and they stayed together afterwards.

His civilian job is being a narrator for audiobooks. Because of this, he has to wear a voice filter during missions.

Vezon

Vezok's unemployed nepo-baby cousin, who holds a share in his shipping company.

After going near the Ignika at a museum exhibition that Vezok dragged him to, he gained superpowers (namely a hammerspace-like void behind his back, as well as the ability to conjure spherical energy projectiles) and immediately went mad with power, taking random magical artifacts (including a spear that can fuse things together, and a strange mask that appeared to flicker between realities). Vezok called the Inika's hotline, and the Inika and Piraka worked together to defeat Vezon. The Order of Mata Nui then captured Vezon, confiscated the stolen artifacts, and placed him in their underground supermax prison, The Pit, before eventually transferring him to the Federation of Fear.

In the G2 timeline, he's the mayor of Okoto City, who is unaware of (or maybe purposefully ignoring?) his cousin's criminal activities.

Spiriah

A former member of Teridax's rebellion, who ended up leaving after almost revealing their true identities by choosing a very... out-there disguise. He was then captured by the Order of Mata Nui and offered a place in the Federation of Fear, which he accepted, before dying during the mission to rescue Miserix.

When he arrived on Earth, he took the form of a towering bat-like humanoid.

His G2 counterpart is a towering bat-like humanoid, imprisoned in Antiderm's labs and experimented on by them.

Umarak

A human/Makuta hybrid, mostly resembling the former but with the latter's chitinous, digitigrade legs. He also has control over shadows.

Channeled some of his power into a swarm of mechanical "shadow traps" that temporarily mind-control anyone who steps on them.

In the G2 timeline, he's Ekimu's evil counterpart and the herald of Makuta; much like how Takua can transform into Ekimu, Ahkmou can transform into Umarak.

XPlode

A heavily-armoured supervillain with the ability to generate and fire volatile keratine spines from his body.

Usually part of the Hero Factory's rogues gallery, XPlode was willingly recruited into the Federation of Fear after being captured by the Order of Mata Nui.

The Chronicler's Company

Takua's friends, and fellow Metru University alumni.

The name is what their (legally-distinct equivalent of) DnD characters are collectively called (Takua's character is the Chronicler class).

In the G2 timeline, they are basically the same, but in high school.

Kapura

Studied classical literature.

He can seemingly teleport, though it is unknown if this is a superpower.

Macku

Studied geography.

In a relationship with Hewkii, and currently lives with him in Voya City.

Taipu

Studied geography.

Often mistaken for Hafu, who has a similar fashion sense and hairstyle, but otherwise looks completely different.

Tamaru

Studied marine biology.

The Inika enlisted her help to identify Nocturn's species. The results were inconclusive.

Hafu

Studied fine art.

Often mistaken for Taipu, who has a similar fashion sense and hairstyle, but otherwise looks completely different.

Kopeke

Studied art history.

Canonically nonverbal.

The Inika Fanclub

Some high school (and like two university) students who run an Inika fanclub.

Garan

The club's founder.

Managed to figure out that Teridax isn't what he appears to be.

Balta

The club's resident inventor.

On Earth B, he owns a shop.

Dalu

Used to be very cheerful and friendly, until her father (who was a detective) went missing while he was looking into potential criminal activity in Vezok's shipping company.

Piruk

Due to a rare condition, his fingers end with sharp "talons" made of bone. He is extremely worried that he might hurt someone with them.

Has a pet dog.

Velika

A Spheran scientist who transferred his mind into an artificially-grown human body to spy on humanity completely normal student who just happens to be very interested in photography.

In the future, he becomes a supervillain who uses his access to advanced Spheran technology in order to (repeatedly) attempt to take over the world.

Kazi

The oldest of the group.

Studying philosophy at Voya University.

Dekar Jr.

The son of an Order of Mata Nui operative.

In the future he joins the Order, taking Brutaka's place as the Federation of Fear's handler.

Defilak

Dekar's brother.

Sarda

Idris's boyfriend.

Idris

Sarda's girlfriend.

Silver

Based on the unnamed silver Toa from the DS and GBA versions of Bionicle Heroes (though mostly the former).

They can temporarily copy the abilities of any superbeing they touch.

Their name is, in fact, Silver.

Voriki

Silver's younger brother.

Silver's parents asked them to bring Voriki along to the club's meetings. Like them, Voriki also has superpowers (namely energy absorption), but he hasn't learned how to use them yet.

He doesn't actually care about the Inika, but instead is a fan of the Mata, and wants to become a hero like them. He sometimes gets distracted in class, daydreaming about becoming the seventh eighth member of the team.

In the future, Voriki becomes an actual superhero; he is part of a "next generation" superhero team that are to the Inika what the Inika are to the Mata.

Magnans

An alien species whose homeworld was destroyed by the Skrall Empire.

Their existence hasn't been made public, as that could draw attention to their presence, leading the Skrall to find them and attack Earth.

The Skrall

An alien empire that attacked and destroyed Spherus Magna.

They eventually attacked Earth after detecting the signals from the Order's communications with the Spherans, and tried using a vast orbital cannon to destroy the planet. Matoro ended up using the Ignika to overload the cannon, destroying the Skrall mothership while also sacrificing himself.

The Makuta

Insectoid aliens from the planet Destral.

They have natural shapeshifting abilities, and the power to control shadows. The shapeshifting is mostly used to gain extra limbs to carry more things or eyes that can be used to see in the dark, and consistently maintaining a singular form requires a large amount of practise and concentration, and might require having to adjust to the imitated species' anatomy depending on how different it is from that of a Makuta (for example, a Makuta that's shapeshifted into a human would need to adapt to having plantigrade legs and five fingers). They can also transform into things that don't exist.

In the Invasion timeline, they have control over light instead of shadows.

They don't exist in the G2 timeline; all Makuta characters are humans, with a few exceptions (namely Spiriah).

Unafilliated individuals

Mata Nui

An ancient warrior who only appears when the entire world is in imminent danger.

Still has his canon name.

Doesn't exist in the G2 timeline.

Mayor Dume

The mayor of Metru City.

He was active as a non-superpowered hero in the 1940s (as part of a larger team), and was one of the people who inspired Helryx to found the Order of Mata Nui.

In the G2 timeline, he was a tech-based hero that used a suit of dieselpunk power-armour that he updated over the years, adding computers and more advanced technology. While Dume kept doing his superhero thing for far longer than his main timeline counterpart, he eventually found out that he had a disease that gave him only a month to live, so he uploaded his mind into the armour's systems and became a new hero called Exo.

Zaria

A teacher at Orde's school for young superheroes; when the school was attacked by Teridax's underlings, Zaria was one of the only survivors, and now seeks revenge.

He is an occasional ally of Chiara.

In the G2 timeline, he's the headmaster of the school, which is still active.

Chiara

An antihero from the slums of Voya City.

Basically Batman, but more morally-grey and anti-authority, and with electricity-based powers.

Orde

One of Helryx's childhood friends, and the former headmaster of a school for young superheroes; the school was attacked by Teridax's underlings while Orde was protecting a nearby town from the Dark Hunters.

Keetongu

A cryptid said to wander the woods near the outskirts of Metru City.

Artakha

The god of forges, crafting and creation.

Lives in his temple on the top of an extremely tall mountain, near where the culture that worshipped him lived.

On Earth B, he's "retired" from godhood and now lives in a seaside town in southwest England, where he makes furniture.

Karzahni

Artakha's brother, and the god of death, chaos, and - strangely - medicine.

Has since "retired" from godhood, and now lives in Voya City's most run-down area, working as a back-alley surgeon who mostly works on criminals, including members of the Barraki's gangs.

On Earth B, he's still a god, living in a temple at the bottom of a vast chasm.

Marendar

An interdimensional being that can drain the life-energy of superbeings in order to become more powerful, leaving them either dead or powerless.

One of the Federation of Fear's "main" missions (from the perspective of the metanarrative) is helping to defeat Marendar.

[husbandhoshi]

exo is my favorite boy group because no one else is brave enough to roleplay as full grown adults with superpowers

[miralirica]

EXO - 12월의 기적 (Miracles in December) [english translation]

Can’t see. I try to search for the invisible you. Can’t hear. I try to listen to the inaudible you. Then I can see things I couldn’t see and hear things I couldn’t hear. After you left me, I gained power I didn’t have. The selfish me, who always couldn’t understand anything beyond myself, The apathetic me, who couldn’t acknowledge even your feelings. Even I can’t believe that I changed like this, Your love continuously moves me. Just by thinking about it I can fill up the world with you Because each snowflake is a drop of your tears. The one thing I can’t do is to make you come to me. This worthless superpower, I wish I don’t have it anymore. The selfish me, who always couldn’t understand anything beyond myself, The apathetic me, who couldn’t acknowledge even your feelings. Even I can’t believe that I changed like this, Your love continuously moves me. Stop the time. I go back to you. The book of memories opens your page. I’m in it. With you. You, a very small and frail person, Your love Just like this, everything (My whole life.) Has changed. (My whole world.) I didn’t know I was grateful for love. I thought it would be enough once it ends. But everyday, I patch myself up the way you would want me to be. I think my love will go on without end. I stop the time. (Now, I will.) And go back to you. (I go back to you.) The book of memories, (Oh, today again.) I open it to your page. I am in it.

In that winter. I can’t see you. I try to search for the invisible you. I can’t hear you. I try to listen to the inaudible you. 보이지 않는 널 찾으려고 애쓰다 들리지 않는 널 들으려 애쓰다 보이지 않던 게 보이고 들리지 않던 게 들려 너 나를 떠난 뒤로 내겐 없던 힘이 생겼어 늘 나밖에 몰랐었던 이기적인 내가 니 맘도 몰라줬던 무심한 내가 이렇게도 달라졌다는 게 나조차 믿기지 않아 니 사랑은 이렇게 계속 날 움직여 난 생각만 하면 세상을 너로 채울 수 있어 눈송이 하나가 니 눈물 한 방울이니까 단 한 가지 못하는 것은 널 내게로 오게 하는 일 이 초라한 초능력 이젠 없었으면 좋겠어 늘 나밖에 몰랐었던 이기적인 내가 니 맘도 몰라줬던 무심한 내가 이렇게도 달라졌다는 게 나조차 믿기지 않아 니 사랑은 이렇게 계속 날 움직여 시간을 멈춰 네게 돌아가 추억의 책은 너의 페이질 열어 난 그 안에 있어 너와 함께 있는걸 아주 조그맣고 약한 사람이 너의 사랑이 이렇게 모든 걸 (내 삶을 모두) 바꾼걸 (세상을 모두) 사랑이 고마운 줄 몰랐었던 내가 끝나면 그만인 줄 알았던 내가 너 원했던 그 모습 그대로 날마다 나를 고쳐가 내 사랑은 끝없이 ��속될 것 같아 시간을 멈춰 (이제 나) 네게 돌아가 (네게 돌아가) 추억의 책은 (오늘도) 너의 페이질 열어 난 그 안에 있어 그 겨울에 와 있는걸 보이지 않는 널 찾으려고 애쓰다 들리지 않는 널 들으려 애쓰다 Original lyrics from https://colorcodedlyrics.com/2013/12/04/exo-miracles-in-december-12wolui-gijeog/

[linkspooky]

got any new ocs that you’re planning on writing for any future fics?

My last Jujutsu Kaisen fic won't feature any new ocs. It's just the conclusion to Michi and Lio's stories. I'm planning on the sequel to Owl of You which doesn't use any ocs because I actually don't have Tokyo Ghoul Ocs.

So there's no ocs for upcoming fic project, but I can introduce you to the two main characters for a completely original story I'm working on.

The Title is Generation Exo, and basically the idea for the story came from when people kept asking me if I was going to write an MHA fix it fic after I wrote my 10,000 essays on how much I was disappointed by the ending. I was seriously considering writing a fic where the league survives, but that seemed like so much effort for a series that I've mostly fallen out of love with that I'd be better off using those ideas to write my own superhero story.

So, here are the two heroes.

Anastassya Filippovna Barashkov

Nastya Barakov, also known as Nasty to the people who dislike her. She's the former leader of this story's equivalent of the League of Villains. She was raised her entire life to be a leader, and basically has been training to use her powers since she was 12 but she is basically a bully with an inferiority superiority complex and sucks so hard at being a leader than the entire team turned against her and tried to kill her.

She almost died but was saved by a random stranger. However, she's not particularly grateful to this stranger and instead of thanking him she decides to turn him into her lackey, and use him as a pawn for her revenge against her former team while pretending to be training him to be a better hero.

She's considered a madwoman by most of her ex-friends, she's dangerous and unstable, and is deep down aware that she's not a good person and doesn't think she deserves to have friends which is why she can't trust other people and relies on manipulation or outright abuse instead.

She can steal powers from others, but there are a lot of conditions for using her power. She can't just take them she has to form a contract with the original power owner to let her borrow the power. They have to like, actually sign something. She also can't control which powers she uses, when she decides to use someone else's power she has to roll a roullete and gets a power from one of the many she's collected at random. Basically like Chrollo but if he was forced to flip to a completely random page in the book.

Her hero name is Risk because of how much her power is completely up to luck.

Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin

Also called Mysh by his friends, and mockingly called a Prince at the private school both he and Nastya attend because of how insanely rich his father is.

Mysh is the random stranger who saved Nastya. She is immediately surprised to find out he's not just some rando who passed her by on the street, but a superhero just like her. However, at the moment he's not interested in going to one of the hero schools or being an official hero, so he just uses an app his friend made for him to do random chores for people around his community who post on his app. He's basically an errand boy with superpowers.

Mysh is incredibly unambitious, and pretends to be a normal, boring person in order to avoid responsibility. Right away that's proven not to be true, because not only is he insane enough to just, save a random stranger on the street, learn she's a former villain and then let her stay at his house anyway. He also falls in love with her almost immediately. Mysh also, despite being inexperienced, possesses the power to control gravity which is insanely broken.

Unlike Nastya who had a shitty life, Mysh was born with a lot of luck. He basically won the superpower lottery by having a strong, easy to use power with almost no drawbacks. The only thing really holding him back is his own laziness and lack of drive. He's thoroughly convinced himself he'll never be anyone special and doesn't bother to try. He does dream of being a hero, but he doesn't want to leave behind his normal, every day life.

One good metaphor for this is Mysh is actually pretty decent at art. He fills piles of notebooks up with doodling, because he hates paying attention in class and only puts in the effort to maintain a solid C+ averange, but they're just doodles. He wanted to be a comic book artist when he was a little kid, but then his dad took an interest and said he would pay for art school which made Mysh immediately hide his notebooks away in his closet out of embarrassment. Since, being an artist isn't a REAL career, and he doesn't think he would ever be succesful at it.

Mysh is a really sensitive pure hearted soul, who is kind of too pure for the world he exists in. Which is why he is very blind to people's dark sides, and doesn't suspect Nastya at all which leads to him being manipulated for most of the story.

[INTERVIEW] Kai - 230313 Recording Academy GRAMMYs: “K-Pop Veteran KAI Feels Freer Than Ever On 'Rover': ‘It's Going To Be A Very Memorable Period For Me’”

"On KAI's third solo mini album, Rover, out today (March 13), the EXO and SuperM member finds freedom through the multiplicity of sounds and concepts that have defined his 11-year journey.

When K-pop's emblematic group EXO debuted in 2012, each member was assigned a superpower as part of their overarching lore. Kim Jongin, then a fresh-faced 18-year-old, was given the ability to teleport, promptly appearing and disappearing throughout their many music videos. He also received an alias: KAI, whose Chinese character "开" means "to open."

Eleven years later, KAI has manifested his nickname; his individual success has opened doors to three solo albums, countless world tours as part of EXO and supergroup SuperM, and several luxury brand contracts (he is an ambassador for Gucci and a representative for Yves Saint Laurent Beauty). It makes sense that he sees himself as someone who can't be constrained — and that he named his third EP Rover.

As the title insinuates, embodying multiple things at once has always been KAI's specialty. He is notoriously shy off-camera, an introvert who stays silent unless spoken to, but who unravels in winding thoughts and warm laughs when comfortable. At the same time, he is also one of K-pop's most lethal performers, with a voice that is as soft as sinful, and ballet-trained movements that spellbind any audience.

Rover is KAI's latest self-actualization. In a Zoom call with GRAMMY.com, he is all smiles as he mentions that this album is the truest to his creative desires so far. Whether visually or sonically, the six-track collection (plus a second installment of his conceptual video series, FILM : KAI, to be released on March 20) fuses everything that he is known for: the teleporting, the hypnotizing dance moves, the many characters he can embody, and his versatility in approaching rhythms that go from reggaeton to R&B.

He ponders about the limitations of social media and receiving love in tracks like "Black Mirror," and "Say You Love Me," while longing for freedom in "Bomba" and the project's title track. "Here I am in your face/ Focus on every single expression/ Y'all buzzin', catch me if you can," he sings in the latter, making reference to one of his favorite movies. In the music video, he also hints at Billy Elliott, another formative movie in his life, while adopting multiple personalities and namesakes. There are no boundaries to KAI's artistry, after all.

Ahead of the release, GRAMMY.com caught up with KAI about the meaning of freedom, his relationship with social media, and how it feels to be an idol for over a decade.

You ask to be called "Mr. Rover" in the EP's title track. Who is Mr. Rover?

That's me! [Laughs.] [The song] has a story about a wanderer and a message of wanting to be free, and since I want to be free on stage, and as an artist in general, Mr. Rover is me.

What is freedom to you?

I put a lot of thought into that, but honestly, I still don't know. I do feel free, and I do feel freedom when I'm on stage, and in order to feel that true freedom, I think it's not just throwing away something that's inside of you. It's more like trying your best and putting more effort into that freedom that you're seeking.

A lot of my fans say that I seem very happy and free on stage. I really want to be like that. I realized that, in order to be free, there's a lot of things that I have to try harder behind the stage.

Indeed, one of your main characteristics is that on stage you are very confident and charismatic, while off stage you are a little more shy and warm-hearted. What's on your mind when you're on stage?

I don't think that much when I'm on stage. This is intentional, because I try not to think about anything and just do my best. Just enjoy that moment. If I think a lot, then it'd be difficult for me to concentrate. I really want to get to that level where I don't have any thoughts and I can just feel free and do the performance as it is.

On stage, you can usually see me smiling and laughing a lot, but that's because the more I get nervous, the more I start smiling and laughing, and the more I enjoy it. Once I feel a sense of pressure is when I truly start to enjoy [it]. I realized that I must be crazy to be enjoying all this nervousness. [Laughs.]

Besides freedom, what are three main words that you associate with this album?

The first one is "SNS" [Social Networking Service, or what Koreans usually call social media], because it's actually a theme in the album. To add up, the album also has a message of loving yourself and not caring about what others think.

As in one of my tracks, "Black Mirror," when the display screen is black, it tells you to see yourself reflected there and to love yourself more. "Say You Love Me" [is] a song about desiring love. On SNS, we care a lot about likes, followers, and what other people think or how they see us.

The second keyword is "performance." It is a very important part of this album, because I really did what I wanted to do. There are a lot of performances to see and hear altogether, so when I was preparing [them], I tried to show different aspects of myself.

And my third keyword would be "happiness," because that is the emotion I felt the most while preparing for this album. I really enjoyed it, and I felt a lot of happiness in my daily life. I think that it's going to be a very memorable period for me.

Since your first keyword is SNS, what is your personal relationship with social media?

Honestly speaking, if I wasn't a celebrity, I think I wouldn't have been using SNS at all. But since I am, I do have to [use] it, and I think of it as a way to communicate with my fans.

In my album, tracks such as "Black Mirror" or "Rover" have a message of being free and loving yourself, and I [prepared] a lot of curated content to show to my fans. I do have a desire for [my fans] to like that, but I want to say that it doesn't matter because, as a human, it's the same for me. I watch YouTube too, I watch all those [Instagram] Reels at night before I go to sleep. So you know, after all, I'm doing the same thing [as everyone].

Your second keyword is performance, and you seem very happy that you could do everything that you wanted for Rover. What new things were you able to show through your performances this time?

The ["Rover"] music video is very well-made and fun, and another FILM : KAI is coming out soon. The first FILM : KAI was released before my first music video [for "Mmmh"], so the role of it was to explain the whole concept and help the listeners understand what I was trying to say.

This time, FILM : KAI is coming out after the music video [for "Rover"], so I think it could be a chance for the viewers to organize their thoughts and compare with what they have been thinking while watching the music video, so they can realize some different charms [within it].

You talked about your first album, KAI (开), and now you're on your third album. What are some of the differences between them, and what have you improved on since your solo debut?

For the first album, when preparing the songs, it was more about finding what I wanted to do as KAI and what I'd like to show people. For the second album, it was more about focusing on what people would like to see and what they wanted from me. I did feel a bit pressured and stressed, but it was one of the steps in the process of trying to find what I really want to do.

For my third album, I was able to find what I want to do and start doing it. As an artist, I grew a lot, but that's why I think it was a new challenge. It's something new that I'm attempting.

If it wasn't for the first or the second albums, the third one wouldn't even exist. I even had some songs that I saved during the [previous] albums because I thought I wasn't prepared before, but now I'm ready to release them to the world. As a soloist and an artist, I'm just developing and growing. There may be a lot of lacking skills still, but this album is very special to me, and I like it a lot.

You've been an idol for more than a decade now. What is the most important thing you learned so far?

Being an idol is a job too. The line between my daily life and my life as a celebrity is very ambiguous. From time to time, I could feel more stressed out, and as it is a job where I can share emotions with the public, there's a bit of pressure on that too.

The most important thing to do is to take care of my mental [health] and mindset, and this realization was a chance for me to grow. I've been thinking deeply on how to become a better person, how to live a happy life as a human being, and I think that, as KAI, I really want to share more positive and happy thoughts with my fans and the people all around the world.”

Top 5 Most Solid Chanbaek Proofs-Part 3

3. Heaven Lyrics Analysis

This is where stuff gets too "coincidental" to be a coincidence any more. I'll start from the beginning.

"Heaven", on Exo's EX'ACT album, is a b-side song written by Chanyeol.

As you probably guessed from the title, "Heaven", is a sweet song about a person who the singer feels like is an angel who came from heaven. In the song, the singer describes the angel as a beautiful person who is like a ray of light for them.

The keywords in the song are heaven, angel, sky, light, etc.

Hello, angel

You're like a painting, when I look at the sky, I can only see you.

As you read in the above image, Chanyeol used "sky" as a way to describe Bakehyun.

And apparently, during this time, Chanyeol also posted pictures of the sky on his Instagram.

Now, posting pictures of the sky is really common, especially among idols, but it's still pretty suspicious how he used it to describe Baekhyun too.

City street lights (Okay)

Even when the lights go out (Okay) and the moon disappears, it's still shining (Woo)

Because you are the star (Yeah, yeah) that fell from the sky

By chance, Baekhyun's superpower given by SM for their Kwangya plot line is light. This is a very small detail and is probably a coincidence, but we should take it in account to not miss anything.

I'm smiling for some reason

I can't sleep even if I close my eyes every night

I stay up all night again, thinking of you

Your shining smile makes me breathe

Perhaps you, you

Are hiding your wings behind your back

Yeah, anyone can tell you're my only angel

When I'm with you, I can fly

Years ago, Bakehyun showed everyone the "angel wings" on his back. He has prominent shoulder blades, and I think he's mentioned before that he is insecure of them.

Here, he bent down to show them to everyone and by coincidence, Chanyeol was the one who revealed them. He knew exactly where to press.

Baekhyun then gets up, and I believe he says "I'm an angel" or something along similar lines.

Yeah, she says, "Don't, don't

Casually say that I'm pretty as if it was a joke"

I took this particular point from @yeolspuppy's analysis. You should go check that out if you want a deeper analysis, since I only covered the major points. I'll link it below.

Bakehyun has some traditionally female traits, so in turn, many Exo members and Exo-Ls describe him as "pretty". While fans do it to praise Baekhyun's visuals, Exo members do it jokingly like an inside joke.

Saying that a girl is pretty jokingly seems really weird. In a world where people assume that they are a couple when a boy and a girl hang out, it seems like you wouldn't want to tell a girl that she's pretty in fear that she might find out about your feelings. However, if you have already confessed and are in a relationship with her, then why would the girl assume you are joking when you call her pretty? That is supposed to be a compliment.

Chanyeol is a celebrity who would face major backlash for using "he" in a song, especially in a country like South Korea. In order to protect his reputation, mentioning anything other than a "she" would be dangerous. Just because Chanyeol mentioned "she" does not confirm that he is straight or was referring to Baekhyun.

Thus, this line could easily mean Baekhyun telling Chanyeol to not jokingly call him pretty.

There are honestly tons of song with Chanbaek clues. I compiled them all along with some other Exo songs that give chanbaek vibes. You can check it out if you want to:

Here's a YouTube channel I'm subscribed to. They give pretty good Chanbeek, Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Exo Daily Updates. Their analysis is also pretty good. Check them out:
