𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: Lee Duval

𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐍 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: Elias Jasper Voit

𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐑: Sicarius

𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐒: David Lennox, user45125, & AmonUser12859HB88

𝐀𝐆𝐄: 37 (although this is usually verse dependent)

𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓: 5’ 8” (178cm)

𝐏𝐇𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Not very tall or physically intimidating, Elias is still broad shouldered and muscular. He usually wears plaid, t-shirts, knit sweaters or henleys with a pair of levi jeans. He prefers work boots but will also wear sneakers and gym wear when playing basketball.

𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐑: Elias’ eye colour is a very dark blue.

𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐑: Elias’ hair colour is a chestnut/auburn brown, its style in a short back and sides cut with his curls on the top. They usually sweep down on the right side of his forehead.

𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐁𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐒: Elias uses a lot of slang terminology to seem unassuming and uneducated or for the purposes of pissing other's off with a 'joker/jester' personality for attention, he usually tends to mock people with the use of terms like ‘aw’ in a show of fake pity. When pissed off he always uses imperatives.

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐒: Elias will hunch up if trying to seem small, usually this occurs if he wants someone to believe they’re in control even if they’re not. He often fiddles with things or stims with his fingers if he’s emotionally overwhelmed. Elias is also a nail biter when anxious or stressed. When speaking he gesticulates a lot. Despite being an amazing masker, he is extremely expressive, he can’t hide how he’s really feeling if the mask slips or he chooses to take it off.

𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄: White American

𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Elias is incredibly well educated, however, officially he only holds a high school diploma and a qualification in software engineering at community college. Elias became a black hat hacker in his late teens and early twenties. From there he continued to educate himself.

𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Network Security Analyst and Technician (these are subject to change based on threads because I write him both before and after his incarceration).

𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒: Software Engineer

𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐒, 𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒: Elias is extremely skilled with computers and communication technology. He is good enough to frequently stump Penelope Garcia. Elias is an effective killer skilled with all manner of weapons: knives, guns, explosives, and drugs. He is self-trained in crime scene clean-up and basic forensic knowledge. He has a special interest in insects and entomology. Finally, Elias is a talented singer and plays acoustic guitar to an advanced level. Elias is also a great cook, he often prefers to make breakfast but would happily cook any meal. It's part of his love language.

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃: Elias was born Lee Duval. His mother and father had an abusive relationship, Lee was born prematurely because of domestic violence in the home. When his father started hitting him as well as his mother, Lee burned the apartment down by putting a blanket over his bedroom space heater.

Suspecting the truth, his uncle Cyrus Lebrun, a gun runner for the Mala Noche Brazilian-American gang adopted his nephew. Cyrus and his brother Travis were born into poverty in a Texas trailer park. They were exposed to violence from a young age and developed into it together. Whilst Travis, Lee’s father, became a wife beater, Cyrus became a serial killer. The only reason he adopted Lee was because he believed that Lee had inherited his genetic predisposition for psychopathy and wanted to shape Lee in his image.

From a young age Cyrus then began to train Lee in his chosen ‘way’ of killing people. Cyrus created rules that he indoctrinated into Lee whilst he murdered people in front of Lee and forced Lee into helping dispose of the bodies. After one incident where Lee attempted to help a captive of his uncle and instead was harmed, Lee left Cyrus hoping to break what had been beaten into him.

No matter how hard he tried to fight it, however, it didn’t work. Soon Elias began to hunt people himself. When Lee killed Jasper Voit and his son Elias, Lee changed his name to Elias Jasper Voit and started to live life under his new alias.

Using shipping containers that he found buried underground, Elias started to carry out experiments. He wanted to test various methods of murders on people out of morbid curiosity: how many ways can a person die? Elias started with low risk victims such as sex workers, homeless individuals, and drug addicts but soon began to kill upper middle class people from suburban neighbourhoods.

Meanwhile, Elias was still trying to live a normal life. Hiding the morbid parts of himself, Elias fell in love with Sydney. They soon married and had two children Holly and Harlow. Elias is extremely problematic but his only positive part of his personality is the genuine love he has for his wife and his children. Even after his incarceration his family maintain that he was always a good father.

By the time the Behavioural Analysis Unit capture him, he has killed 62 people. The moniker Sicarius is given to him by the media because one of his more bizarre experiments included pouring Sicarius spiders down someone’s throat to see how long it took for them to die from it. His signature is meeting his soon to be victims on a ‘Second Street’ because that was where his parent’s apartment was located.

𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐒: Not everyone wants to write with a villain, I get that. Elias has a slightly more palatable verse where Cyrus Lebrun didn’t adopt him and he went into the care system. However, in this verse he keeps his birthname Lee. After being bounced around a couple of abusive homes, Deidre and Thomas Baker adopted Lee Duval, making him Lee Duval-Baker. They provided a good home for him and a solid foundation for his education.

At the age of 21 Lee is accepted into the police academy. First starting as a beat-cop Lee works his way up to the position of homicide detective in the Houston Police Department. Whilst he is not a murderer, he does still exhibit signs of aggression and issues with authority, often working outside of the law to enforce it.

stupid bastard man (affectionate).

[twentyonefirstmates]

i just cannot stop thinking of jon trying so hard to grieve for the real elias after he Finds Out because elias died scared and alone to the same power that destroyed jon, because elias was also forced to watch his own body become entirely alien to him as he became Something Else, because elias and jon have both been tortured and Changed by the same man, because jon might be the only person in the world who understands what happened to him and is definitely the only person in the world who cares.

But also, jon can't think of elias' face without having to choke back a scream, cant utter elias' name without wanting to cry, cant think about elias' body without the feeling of being watched, worms burrowing into his skin, the agony of not being able to remember his friend's face, his mind being broken, hellish flames on his hand, falling from a great height, a knife against his windpipe, plastic fingers against his skin, dying, coming back wrong, darkness beyond everything hes ever known, dirt in his lungs, losing everyone hes ever loved, strings controlling his every move. He cant grieve for elias without grieving for himself. And he know, he knows, he Knows that none of it was ever elias' fault. Elias was just some poor stupid idiot who ended up in an evil place and had his life stolen by an evil man, just like jon. Jon knows elias never actually did anything to him, but he cant forgive him for the things done by his body. He wants to grieve, he tries to grieve, he does grieve. But he can never grieve properly for the man who was lost because he is inseparable from the man who took him.

YOU KNOW I GETS MY PIMPIN OWWWNNNNNN

[sunburstsandmoonshadows]

it remains extremely funny to me that freddie wong accidentally (?) made Dan Fucks, embodiment of pleasure, so distinctly ace-coded. like, Dan talks a big game about sex and seems to view it as interesting and desirable, but when presented with such an obvious in for it he completely ignored Avaricci's come-ons to just talk about non-sexual pleasures like goddamn cold pillows. he's not paying attention to sex at all when it's not personally convenient or expected of him to do so.

100% Elias is ace and just doesn't realize people genuinely crave sex and it's not a metaphor or exaggeration like it is for him yet. bless him.

[elias-the-corvid]

Fair by The Amazing Devil is actually the only love song that's ever felt true for me, that too big and poetic but also kinda silly love, that common day to day and that much fucking hair. It's just. It's so small and common and so incomprehensibly enormous and you just carry all of that inside and you try to say it and you don't know how and yet they know. They know because they feel it too. Sobbing

[warmsol]

still thinking about this shot 🤒

[thebeholdingsfavorite-mrbitchard]

I don't know what head cannon I prefer:

1: Elias lives in Jonahs house and all the heads have lived there because "it comes with the promotion" but nothing has been changed in like 200 years. All the decor is the same because Jonah is sentimental like that.

Or

2: Elias lives in a house he bought with Peter's money when they were married, the only reason Elias got it in the divorces afterwards was because Peter didn't want to own any building that had a house warming party thrown at it.

Or

3: Elias lives in the institute. He sleeps in his office. He likes feeling as close to the Eye as possible.

Well yeah actually I believe the whole Archives would have benefitted from Elias Shutting Up Therapy

[the-magpie-archives]

I wish real life academia was more like The Magnus Archives because I'd much rather face otherworldly evils than have my research blocked by INFINITE PAYWALLS. Jonathan Sims might've suffered immensely and nearly ended the world but at least he didn't have to cite inaccessible sources.

btw i love revenge stories i dont think anyone should ever move on peacefully. a bit obsessed with the way weissman went to the synagogue and rabbi and asks, "my choices killed a child. would god take mercy on someone like me?" and the rabbi says "it's not god's mercy you should look for. its the child's" and like you think that would spur this man into charitable activities and to maybe look out for orphans but instead he goes on a 24 hour revenge bender that ultimately ends in two revenge killings and his own death. what's better than righteous anger and wrath and love twisting someone into the worst but also a truer version of themselves <3

[hiding-under-the-willow]

Remembered I made this crossover au forever ago and went a little crazy about it <3

[oh-no-its-bird]

TMA naruto au time buckle up,

Jon should get to be a half Uchiha bastard who has an infamously hard time controlling his sharingan.

His mangekyo (which he gets very very young when he accidentally leads a bully to their death at the hands of a nukenin with a love of spiders) basically acts as his beholding abilities and can allow him to compel people to sit still and answer anything he asks of them, which gets really messy when you consider a) shinobi society is built on secrets, and b) he has a really hard time turning it off

His visions absoloutley fucked but whatever bloodline his father was from seems to have caused the deterioration of his eyes to stop where it is— and is also the cause of why he has extra difficulty w it's flip switch

Anyways, Inuzuka Daisy or Hatake Daisy, I can't decide. Either way shes wolf coded as fuck and also in a similar boat of being absoloutley shit at controlling her bloodline. She and Jon are so problem child coded, and I think part of the reason she hates him as kids is bc she sees a lot of herself in him but like, at her worst. All of her issues but he just lays down and takes it when she fights tooth and nail against anyone who so much looks at her wrong. They are opposite ends of the spectrum and she's hyper aware of it

I think that when they're older they should get to go on a mission together and basically the whole coffin thing happens but with like an enemy nin w an earth chakra type.

Mmm alternatively tho, sprinkle in hints of the dreaded fears and play w the beasts and yokai of naruto canon, pull some spooky shit.

They get in over their heads, coffin happens, Jon goes back for her then we end with them both just kind of looking at eachother like "there are things in this world we can not comprehend."

Mmm, naruto version of the fears,,, that could be fun. Incorporate the bijuu maybe, idk

Anyways, Daisy hates Jon, coffin time happens and Jon escapes but then goes back for her (if she's a Hatake, this could also play interestingly w parallels to Kakashi) and they come out of the whole thing having Seen Thing(tm) and are irriversably changed and also now very much edging into co-dependant besties territory

Can u tell I'm a big fan of the Daisy and Jon besties agenda bc I so am

Moving on to the others ->

I want to say civilian Martin? I don't have much for him tbh, it'd be cool if he was like distantly related to Haku tho. Give him the cool ice mirror bloodline limit or whatever bc smthn smthn the lonely.

Mmm ok acrually hear me out: civilian Martin who's trying very hard to avoid shinobi things. He's actually a defected Kiri nin who forged a new identity for himself and fled to Konoha to start a new life after the bloodline hunts back in Kiri killed his whole family (except for Haku, but he doesn't know he's still alive) He's trying very hard to fly under the radar, but I doubt he'll succeed for long

I want him to look like all those fun lonely avatar fan arts of him w the sharp teeth, white streaked hair, dulled looking skin and kinda fishy vibes overall actually, but like he uses a seal to keep a permanant henge on him to look normal bc hes very visibly Kiri otherwise

Tim is giving me Yamanaka vibes for some reason. I like that also bc then we could possibly get him and Jon working together in T&I, which like yay parallel to how they used to work together before the archives

Sasha is giving me civilian born shinobi vibes, I think she should get to work in the hokage tower. Paper pusher with big dreams of moving up the latter and really being someone one day. She has her eyes dead set on a position in the Hokage's office

Basira is ,,, somewhere. You really can't have Daisy without her that's just illegal but I'm not too sure where to put her. Civilian born Basira kinda suits her but I'm ngl I'm kinda eyeing Nara Basira. Wait no fuck ok, Nara Basira and she was on a 3 man unit with Tim at one point, now they just need a Akimichi to complete the narashikacho trifecta there

She totally works in T&I now, or maybe with the Uchiha police force? It's like 90% Uchiha but I'm pretty sure some other clans are spotted here in there among them, and if they're not, I mean, I don't actually give a shit so .

I don't know if this is one of those aus where canon is still there but we're just adding tma characters into the mix or if it's just vague naruto setting but tma characters are our focus / replacing the main cast. But I think it's the first. If it was the second tho I'd say Elias as Danzo in a heartbeat

But since it's the first, Nara Elias who got a mysterious eye transplant years ago that seemed to have changed his personality entirley (were totally keeping the body hopping shit, rip the real Nara Elias who's been dead for years)

He's a slimy politician who works closely with Danzo

Ok so main narrative:

I'm thinking the coffin thing happens with Daisy and Jon, and now they're kind of eyes open to the existence of whatever version of the fears exist in this world. Jon is Jon and can't let sleeping dogs lie, and Daisy is Daisy and does her twitchy "there's something dangerous out there I can't control/don't know about" thing so she's really not stopping him, but she is helping him be more smart about it. Sometimes. They're both kind of lose canons tbh holy shit this is gonna be a disaster

So Jon gets kind of obsessed w whatever the FUCK that was, and Elias smells blood in the water and approaches

Idk what's going on with Elias but he's still body hopping bitch boy Jonah here. He's very involved in the fears, and he's had his eyes on Jon for a while. You see, the way that avatars manifest in Naruto world is that sometimes they'll often show their influence through bloodlines— Nara the dark, Yamanaka the beholding, Inuzuka the hunt, it's all there if you look for it.

Those in 'the know' believe that all bloodline limits came from the fears— sometimes their influence shows more than others. And very very rarley, that influence becomes a a bit more... potent, than in others.

Elias believes that Jon is one such instance of this, his strange mangekyo being so painfully and terrifyingly beholding coded, far more than his clansmen who's own mangekyo tend to branch off lightly into territories of different fears.

Jon (and Daisy, but Elias has a clear favorite here) running into such a strong instance of the buried, which is rare on its own, has only made Elias even more interested, taking it as some sort of sign that there really is something especially odd about Jon's unusually strong link to the fears.

Anyways, Elias sponsoring Jon's investigation into the fears, their links to the bijuu, how they interact with chakra and if they might truly be the source of modern bloodline limits.

Konoha secret supernatural task force (not to be confused with ROOT or ANBU) meant to monitor the fears influence in Konoha,,,

(God, of course Elias couldn't help but make his own fucking secret service in opposition to ROOT. He couldn't let Danzo upstage him)

Just like how ANBU has their shoulder seal and ROOT the tongue seal, I'm thinking their seal is a stylized eye on the back of their neck, which ofc Elias is always watching through, rip

Oh fuck, actually give me seal master Elias and his special spy seals he can watch and listen through. It's not a power thing it's just a specialization thing— he has his own eye tattoo that allows him to directly see through all his seals at any time.

Anyways we're calling this organization ARCHIVE bc I am a simple gal. Don't ask what it's supposed to stand for in verse, idk

Idk who else should be in it, or if it should be like ground up and Daisy and Jon are the first. Wait what the fuck am I saying, Gertrude and Gerry obviously. Michael Shelly too, can't forget him

Toss in Mike Crew and Jude Perry also just bc I like them. Maybe Nikola and an Aburame Jane Prentiss? But also idk if I'd want to put them in the position where they're technically working under Elias, I feel like that just doesn't fit. Better to leave them out in the wold to run into instead for conflict. Except Mike Crew, who is my favorite little guy and who should get to be here on loan from Elias' friend and Daimyo's court shinobi, Simon Fairchild

Honestly be funny if Kakashi was in it at one point just bc then he'd have been in all 3 konoha secret services and honestly? Hilarious. Someone give that guy a fucking break oh my god

Obviously Tim, Sasha, Martin and Basira all eventually join in, tho idk how. Maybe Jon is actually asked who would be a good choice for it? Jon says Tim and Daisy says Basira, then they both kinda eye Sasha who's been very fucking vocal ab needing just a chance to get her claws into the hooks of the Konoha power ladder and reccomend her too

Martin is the tricky one, I'm thinking Elias somehow finds out ab his Kiri background and has always wanted to poke more at the lonley's very visible connection to many kiri bloodlines— but Martin's in particular. So he kinda blackmails him into it, but framed in a more friendly "I'll make sure you don't have to hide anymore, I can secure your place in Konoha even with your ancestry :)"

Also maybe he was impressed by Martin's disguise seals, that'd be neat. Seal master Martin but he's Martin so he's like "Ah, I'm really not that good at it :("

(Jon is infuriated by his seemingly natural talent then even more infuriated when it becomes clear he's actual shit at most other shinobi things)

Ok so peddle it back to Mr Jonah eye fuckery Magnus here -> he was once like Jon. A man born into a clan w a link to the beholding, with a light eye themed bloodline limit. But he was born with a stronger tie to their patron than the others, strong enough to recognize they had a patron at all. And by feeding into it (don't ask me how I have no clue) he was able to strengthen that tie, gaining more power, and the ability to body hop through eyes

And he looks at Jon and wonders if he can replicate that in him. Groom him into something closer to their god, then feed him to the beholding to further his own power, which seems to have stagnated in growth.

I think also there's just a good amount of spite for ROOT and hunger for political power that he might get from ARCHIVE, and Jon is a clear fit for it, so like. Add him to the pile !!

I have a couple more vague thoughts for this -> the archive tunnels correlating to ROOT tunnels, the real Elias being childhood friends w Danzo and Hiruzen before Magnus took his body, Madara off in his cave somewhere being influenced by a Zetsu who serves the fears instead of Kaguya, etc.

But I'll leave it here for now, thank u for ur time
