#he is a certified spy and travels and organizes groups of people to hear and see the changes of all realms and feed them back to them

So I just read your mac backstory (AlSO I HiGHLY RECOMMEND second chances on Ao3 it will take you through the wringer in a good way)

I understand if you can’t answer cause of spoilers but does Wukong or anyone ever find out about the full truth of macaques past? I assume it comes back to bite him at some point the past always does

Love the image first of all

And yee they do find out😊 now the real question is how do they found out lmaoooo

A lot of small things that Macaque do are in consequence of how he lived, his want to stay in the island instead of traveling, his overprotectiveness of ffm are in relation to his previous homelessness status, of never having had a place or troop to call home

His unwavering faith and following in Wukong is in relation to him thanking the other for giving him a home and wanting to repay him for that, etc etc

Can you do like a roll call for your ocs? Like their names, descriptions and something interesting about them? I looove hearing about ocs

yooooooo hell yeah!! i’ve got two main projects, one of them i’ve been working on a lot longer than the other, so i’ll just give a brief summary of the projects and then put the cast under a cut.

74 seconds: spy thriller focusing on like, the b-team’s b-team. focuses on mobile unit a4, a rapid response deployment unit within molloy inc, a vigilante/spy for hire agency. it is explosively discovered molloy has been infiltrated by the karlson group (a rival organization of mercenaries, this is not very high brow tbh it’s pretty straightforward mission impossible nonsense), and a trusted member of a4 is a double agent, sending him on the run. except he isn’t. he’s a triple agent who’s been undercover the entire time. when another member of a4 disappears, he is the prime suspect, and is left to figure out what actually happened on his old, while evading his own team.

along the road: anachronistic urban fantasy type thing. a city/town set deep in the bend of a river. one road in and out, and along the road is the house of the caretaker, who maintains the road and cares for the travelers along it. anyone who needs a place to stay is welcome for the night in her guest house with one rule: you stay for breakfast. sometimes, they stay much longer. a small-time actor on a moderately well-known television show experiences a tragedy, causing him to bolt from his life and land on the road. he decides to stay, at least until he comes up with a better plan, and gets to know the caretaker’s patchwork family, all the while hoping none of them learn who he really is.

74 seconds cast:

aleksander “sasha” lyall - our resident triple agent. awkward but sincere, uncomfortable in most situations that aren’t undercover assignments. probably too serious for his own good. his much older brother max gained custody of him when he was fourteen, and he was recruited by molloy inc shortly before max’s death. shortly after max died, he agreed to go deep under with the karlson group, and has been operating as a triple agent ever since. undercover specialist.

melody kaplan: transferred to a4 from a now defunct csi-type sector in molloy after her mentor was exposed to be a massive fraud and also just a terrible person, causing the woman’s entire department to be dissolved and restructured. prickly and combative a lot of the time, she’s hard to get to know and even harder to like. very close to sasha. lives with pierce when they’re not in the field. computer and technology specialist.

amanda teller: newest addition to a4 from another mobile unit, a7. she was the only survivor of an assassination attempt that killed her entire team, and was intended to kill her too. fiercely loyal and determined and impossibly stubborn - once she’s decided on something, it’s impossible to talk her out of it. the only one who never for a moment believed sasha was responsible for pierce’s disappearance. weapons specialist.

pierce mawdsley - a4′s tower contact. the tower is where the support members of the mobile teams are stationed, and as a result most tower agents, including pierce, are not field certified. incredibly smart and for the most part optimistic and cheerful. geeky, for sure. feels disconnected from the rest of the team because of his placement in the tower. he’s the one who goes missing, from the parking garage when the infiltration is exposed.

vincent “vin/vinny” alverez: a4′s second in command. quiet and reserved, but protective and kind. very good listener. has been with molloy the longest of anyone on a4. was part of a pilot program testing a type of memory altering technology that was discontinued after errors with the initial rounds of testing. as a result of this, vin cannot see the color yellow, instead seeing a kind of static, or thing-you-can’t-look-right-at feeling. listens to and sings along with a lot of johnny cash.

phillipa “pippa” baker - head of a4. feels unqualified because between her and vin, he has seniority, but she was picked for greater leadership potential seen by the current leader of the organization, claire molloy, with whom pippa is longtime friends. has a lot of doubt about pretty much everything but disguises it well. a pragmatist. personally selected every member of a4. feels responsible for them in a major way.

assorted others

along the road:

generally FAR less worked through as i’ve had 74s for literally years

the caretaker - woman of indeterminate age and indeterminate mortality. no actual name known, and she doesn’t answer if asked. called the caretaker, or, often to the family, mama c. maintains the road and watches over the travelers and has been here longer than anyone can remember.

dallas friday darling - minor-league tv actor, always referred to by his full name a la neil patrick harris etc. mostly goes by ‘friday’ to people who know him personally. shows up after a major tragedy introducing himself as dallas. doesn’t tell anyone who he was. 

yadriel salazar - a teacher at the only school for miles. widely seen as pretty no-nonsense and irritable sometimes, but secretly a master of practical jokes. dead-pan humor. much better with kids than he is with adults his own age. 

william daniel rodgers - local handyman and mister fix-it. goes by ‘wd’ because he insists ‘william daniel, two first no middle’ is a name you have to earn, and he’s still trying to figure out how to get his shoes on the right feet in the morning. happy-go-lucky. honestly a bit of a himbo. we love wd but we despair for him.

judith glassman - synagogue coordinator in the nearest actual city, also works in the faith house in their own town (a small multipurpose building that is useable for anyone who needs a place to pray or celebrate holidays, the place is too small and eclectic to have much that’s specific). highly organized. is the one despairing for wd. has been head over heels for the town’s florist, naomi, for months.

elizabeth lee - runs the paper by herself with two part-time interns. opposite of highly organized, but she swears she knows where everything is. incurably nosy and channels this into her profession. can’t really turn the journalist in herself off, which can be good and can be bad.
