#i love hpw the first ask is like the most chill thing ive ever written about them and the second one is this

[jeridoesntdourls]

hmm oh forgot to specify 20 for all three :)!

THANK YOU!! Reversed endings mean talking about their worst traits which i love so much- I'm not 100% sure about how I would like them to play out but the story beats are the same independently. Might be a bit weird but i always imagined bad endings as more of bad routes where the story itself changes as you make your choices. Never thought I'd be saying this but suicide tw on Attis' bit and desire to be physically hurt expressed on Medea's. This one is LONG. (also yk disclaimer that despite the church being used as a "villain" in Medea's route, I am not criticizing the concept of belief or of religion. Despite my problems with the church, I would still consider myself religious)

BOREA

When valued by the player only for her achievements and making jokes during moments of emotional intimacy, Borea will become cold and distant, thinking her feelings do not matter and that she can never be understood. She goes on to establish contact with Vesuvia before the Brass ring can agree, which causes the group to rebel against the Syndicate and then be slaughter en mass by the new government. Borea then tries to lead the syndicate alone and is mutinied. The nation erupts into chaos and the ship captains and crew are nowhere to be found, stranding the MC on Tua. Without any other hope, Mc seeks out Borea, who awaits her death in the syndicate meeting room. She pulls MC into an embrace, crying for all that they could've been, for all the nation could've been. You have the option to shield Borea so that she can look over the city. You die before you can see if she does as well.

ATTIS

When his escapism is encouraged, Attis will leave his sister to sort out the situation between the Brass Ring and the Syndicate, making plans to escape with the MC to Vesuvia and start anew there. He will try to ignore the rising tensions and tour the city with MC until all hell breaks loose when his sister takes her own life. The Brass Ring, now without a diplomat, begin infighting and sporadically attacking members of the Syndicate. Attis begins fabricating weapons for the Ring because he believes that is the only thing he is capable of doing well. The MC begins to reveal the plans of revolt and on the dawn of the first attacks, Attis tries to abandon Tua but is unable to because of the blockade. When MC catches him, he tries to play it off but if they insist on asking him why he's making these firearms he admits that he doesn't know what he's doing, he misses his mother and his father and his sister and he thinks this is the only way they could ever be proud of him now. He tries to settle things down but they're too far gone. He creates even more of a divide between the Ring which leads to full out duel between the two. There is finally an opening where he is able to leave Tua but returns from the port to protect MC.

MEDEA

If you treat her as being unable to do harm and feed into her self sabotage, she will regress into the strict morals of the old Heilist church and support the outside attempts at foreign intervention from the nation of Insulinde, believing that she is saving the city from damnation. There isn't any change at first but then, Insulinde begins to pay off members of the Syndicate and assassinate the others(Borea included), launching campaigns to elect newly integrated officials of their own and members of the church into the Syndicate. Every philanthropic donation from Insulinde is just a way to solidify it's power over Tua and begin to capitalize off its exploitation once again. Medea is assigned the Reinado seat in the syndicate, a newly invented position that installs a religious authority to oversee the making of policy. Their relationship with the MC becomes strained as the Insulinde officials are weary of Vesuvians and the prospect that maybe the country could offer the rebels aid. After the Brass Ring begins to riot, Medea cannot convince themselves that their actions are justified, so they seek out the MC for the validation they once gave her. If the MC chooses to go against Medea, her self hatred that's been brewing since the beginning of the story makes it so she begs the MC to hurt them in an attempt to make the MC just as morally corrupt as her. This prospect keeps them in their position of victim and makes it so she can be with the MC without feeling that they are a better person than them. This ultimately does not work but makes Medea resign and become targeted by the new government. They have the choice to join the Brass Ring's revolts but the weight of defying their religion and their victimization tendencies make it almost impossible. Route ends before you know what her choice is.

This was such a good question and I've been thinking about it non stop and I don't think these are the final editions of how they'll be but if I keep rewriting I'll never post this and you'll never get your art :( hope you like em!
