[gooseagain8]

I really wanna talk about my ocs (DR: Mira Event)

so heres some crumbs i feel okay sharing/posting because dear lord does this feel disorganized

oh and also updated names for some of them!!! and im leaving some characters names blank because they need new ones to be honest

Mallorie Ambrose - Avarice, Ultimate Taxidermist

A person who believes humans, such as herself, are lowly beings while nature must respected and preserved for the sake of nature's creatures. She appreciates and preserves the beauty of animals. Humans aren't important nor needed in this world. In her eyes, there are more truly beautiful creations of God worth preserving. If shes being honest with herself, she just wants to keep all of these unique and wonderful beings to herself. Wishes one day to claim these creations as her own. "Nature is the greatest form of art"

Avan Gulliver - Greed, Ultimate Collector

Someone who was always surrounded by riches, and rarely people. often alone. he believes that having more and more of these possessions will solve that loneliness. After being told to be grateful for owning countless luxuries and being extremely wealthy despite having no one there for him to even talk to, he's had this belief that materials are worth more than forming relationships with people. "Money talks and I'm glad it does"

in short i dont think these two have ever properly socialized with people and i dont think they'll ever want to

10 Facts Meme

♠︎ Mortis

Mortis uses he/him pronouns first and foremost, but doesn't mind when folks call him "it". He is at peace with the fact that he is a robot. They/them and she/her are not his cup of tea though.

He has a shack where he stores his tools and charging station quite a bit outside Ragesburg, on top of many graves of stray imps from across Wrath. There, he also has a stable for his beloved mare "Mallory", as well as three carriages parked on the empty lot. One that he uses for when he travels across the realm with passengers inside, another specifically built for transporting a coffin to a funeral that is very well kept, and finally, a larger one that allows easy transportation of coffins and tools for when he just needs to go around the realm and bury bodies as he finds them.

He doesn't change his attire much, most of the time he'll be dressed up and clad in dark robes and coats of different kinds, the desert sun doesn't bother him none after all, but it's a bother when the metal gets too hot. He will occasionally change up his hat, and when he deals with dead bodies, versus when he holds a funeral, he'll dress accordingly for the job.

While his body was made in Lust in a collaboration with Greed, Mortis answers first and foremost to Satan. That is because he was specifically designed for a business deal between Mammon and Satan; he buries the excess bodies littered across Wrath, cleaning it up in a sense, and he also directs funerals in Satan's name, a Sin that has similar of a deity status to imps as Lucifer does to others. Mammon doesn't deal much with Mortis anymore, and occasionally Mortis does work for others if he gets rented out or simply just asked. He doesn't care much, even if his creators might.

Like stated above, Mortis directs funerals, laying mainly imps to rest since Wrath is littered with the little guys. He will throw out a word or two to Satan, instilling both a bit of fear in those attending [as is the nature of things around here], but also reminding them from whence they came, and the strong ties, bonds, and feisty memories the Wrathian sun has witnessed while gazing down upon the dearly departed. Did they live? Did they Fight? Did they fill your hearts with Pride? ... Then their life was a good one, and the finality of the hellborne death is truly their chance to finally rest.

Mortis is the strongest out of all the fizzies on this blog! He is designed to toss around dead weight all day, dig for hours, build and carry coffins, and has size on his side as well, standing 6'3" feet compared to most of the other fizzybots.

He is one of the older models, created about 7-9 or so years ago. He is kept in good condition thanks to Satan seeing him as a worthy investment, but he still has to wear boots to make sure that his heels don't snap. He may have been made for this job, but they didn't think of everything...

Mortis has experience with grief counselling, not because it was programmed into him, but because he took it upon himself to learn about it. While many shrug death off in hell, Mortis takes the matter very seriously. He doesn't enjoy playing with lives, but he also recognises when there's nothing he can do about it. He picks his battles. Just don't ask him to kill anybody. That's not what he does.

Life on the countryside is slow... and that's a blessing to this fizzy. Because few other fizzies get to experience the isolation from the Fizzarolli-craze like Mortis does. While some might recognise him when he's in more crowded areas like Ragesburg, most sooner realise who He is over who Fizzarolli is. They know of the undertaker that shows up all across their realm, and you won't have any Wrathians fangirl over Mortis any time soon, at least not Fizzarolli-stans... His arrival is more of a bad omen. Or that a new stupid contest is going to be had where a ton of imps die.

Because Mortis is alone so much, because he gets to reflect on matters of life and death, think about his own mortality in regards to when upkeep no longer is a priority, and because he is so very far away from the posters, commercials, merchandise and drooling fans for Lust and Greed's biggest jester... he got a chance to develop a strong sense of self. He has confidence in who he is, what he does, and what his purpose in life is. He understands that worrying about the future isn't going to get him anywhere, that he should focus on the here and now, and find peace and fulfilment with his lot in life. Yes, it could be better... it could be less depressing. He could've avoided seeing so much misery. But the highs of his life are what he'll remember when his battery finally runs dry. The thankful smiles of a grieving family, the blood red sun setting over the desert horizon, the delightful harvest moon festival... and you know what? It wasn't all that bad.

[An audio recording is attached. In it, Dee's voice can be heard, whispering: "As long as I am not physically hit, Mallory's illusion will continue to hold. I just have to keep him talking. Or, barring that, I need to stall with—"

She cuts herself off with a quiet eep, then clears her throat.

When she speaks again, she sounds a lot less like Dee, and a lot more like Maria. The difference is still there, if you know both of them.

"Giovanni! You have gone too far this time."

"I have?" Giovanni, evidently, does not know either of them. "If you were only willing to surrender, then this could all be over—"

"I am not." Dee's voice almost sounds even. The fear in her words probably works, though, even if it's not because of the same reason Maria's would be. "But should you defeat me in battle—a fair battle—then Ho-oh is willing to consider your offer."

"They are, are they?" The greed in Giovanni's words is audible. "And they'd be willing to consider my offer... personally?"

"They would be."

"And if I refuse your counteroffer?"

"Then the power of Ho-oh will never be yours."

"Very well then! I accept." There's the sound of a single opening Pokéball. "No tricks, Maria, or you will pay for it."

"No tricks," says Dee, very calmly. Another Pokéball opens. "Though I do hope you don't count new Pokémon as a trick."

"I hadn't thought you the type!" Giovanni laughs. "But then, I hadn't expected you to be halfway reasonable. Well then. Shall we?"

The recording ends, as the battle begins. Seems that Dee wants to focus on the battle. Understandably.]

[emotionalsupportbastardmen]

Round one of the Bastard Man (affectionate) championshionships is complete!

Let's take a moment to appreciate everyone who got knocked out in round one, and everything I like about them.

Mammon (Obey Me)

Mammon the love of my life Mammon. </3 Yes he's a demon, yes he's the avatar of greed, yes he's "the scummy brother", but with a heart of gold, deep down inside. Very deep down. Plus he's funny and secretly sensitive and he likes to cuddle. <3 I'm honestly shocked he got knocked out in round one, I always thought he was quite a tumblr darling.

Hercule Flambeau (Father Brown)

Everyone loves a gentleman thief, don't they? Especially one with a homoerotic relationship with his narrative foil? A master of disguise? A secret sadboy with a tragic backstory? A man who broke out of prison? World's sluttiest absent father? When will your man ever.

Inspector Mallory (Father Brown)

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA. He's such a funny character. Little angry northern bastard man. He's awful, and should be easy to hate, but he just suffers so often and suffers so beautifully, you can't help but root for him to win, just once. And he loves his kids! A short king and a DILF.

James E. Negatus (Yonderland)

Listen. Listen. I could never love anyone like I love Negatus. He occupies a special and unique part of my heart just for him. He's babygirl. He's daddy. He's cringefail. He's badass. He's gender. He's really really kinky. I cannot understate this, this is the fetish fuel show and it's like 70% his fault. He's on a mission to kill the hero but he's also sort of in love with her. I'm never not going to go feral for that. He has a tragic backstory and a softness for small children and small animals. He's canonically committed multiple warcrimes, several murders, and also demon-genocide. He's done nothing wrong ever in his life <3

Louis Fairhead (Casualty)

My sweet prince when will he return from war? It's been so long since the show ever even so much as acknowledged him. He wasn't even at his own father's wedding to a woman Louis was practically part-raised by. I think he's fallen into a crack in space and time. Anyway I love Louis. I don't even think he's a bad guy. He's had the most traumatic life imaginable. His mother died in a car accident while he was in the car. He got kidnapped once. One time he nearly got blown up. This was all before he was ten. Then as a teenager he became a drug addict. And as a young adult he had a heroin overdose. I think he's within his rights to be an angry and emotionally distant man. I would defend him to the death. I just want him to be safe and happy and healthy. Feel like pure shit just want him back.

Aristide Valentin (the Father Brown books)

First of all Aristide Valentin did nothing wrong so jot that down. YES he committed murder. But he murdered a Catholic pro-guillotine billionaire so it barely counts. He also stole human remains but this is tumblr, we're used to that. He's a skilled swordsman with a vast sword collection which is just the sexiest thing imaginable. YES he's rude to everyone but you don't UNDERSTAND, he's a genius surrounded by idiots, he gets frustrated. Also he's Parisian, they're just like that I think, he can't help it. Honestly his only real crime is smoking while on the underground platform at Liverpool Street station. That's unforgivable.

Barclay Beg-Chetwynde (BBC Ghosts)

Honestly one of the funniest characters in the show, I don't even care. Every episode he's in is a delight. Every single line delivery is so deliciously bastardly. And he makes a brilliant foil to my two favourite characters, Julian and Alison. He's great.

B.Z. (Santa Claus The Movie)

I love this movie. I love this movie a lot. I've watched it at least twice a year every year since I was a toddler. Often more. I could quote the whole film by heart. And my guy B.Z. is by far the most quotable character. Highlight of the whole film. Every single line of his lives rent free in my head. He has beef with Santa Claus for literally no good reason. He chained up a child for even less good reason. He invented Christmas 2. He exited the movie by eating too many magic flying lollypops and floating away into the stratosphere. Utterly unhinged from first scene to last. Literally no-one could ever compare.

Kerr Avon (Blakes 7)

Ah, Avon. I was obsessed with him as an edgy teen. I think in many ways he is the edgy teen appeal character of his genre. He's like the Shadow the Hedgehog of dystopian sci-fi. I mean this as a sincere complement. And he's once again by far the most quotable character in the show. I feel like that's a very important factor for a good bastard man. Quotability.

I won't say I could fix him, because I don't think anyone could. But I wish someone could.

Cat (Red Dwarf)

My sweet underappreciated boy. In many shows he would be the beloved bastard man. It's not his fault he shares a show with Arnold Rimmer, and you simply can't outdo the do-er.

But everything he does, he does it in ~ style ~

Randal Graves (Clerks)

This character means such a lot to me. He's the worst, of course. He sucks. You wouldn't want to know someone like that in real life. But that's part of what's so tragic about him. He's already resigned himself to the fact he's an unlikeable asshole loser, and has long since given up even trying to make new friends, and now he's a deeply lonely weirdo trapped in a toxic co-dependant relationship with the only real friend he has, who he's simultaneously obsessed with and sort of in love with (no homo) (maybe homo) and would die for, but also treats terribly. He's just such a sad odd man. I think about him often.

Ray Carling (Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes)

Ray my best friend Ray. Yes okay so he's wildly homophobic and misogynistic, but like. Underneath that he's a very sweet and compassionate man, I promise. He's just trapped under the crushing weight of insecurity and self-loathing and societal expectations of masculinity. His backstory is heartbreaking. Absolutely devastating. I won't go into details because spoilers but Jesus Christ. He's the world's number one most single man, being the only one left not paired up out of the seven main characters across both shows, which hardly seems fair. He deserves a nice love interest I think. Give him a nice girlfriend, or lean into the "Ray is suffering from internalised homophobia" implications that Ashes to Ashes leant into occasionally and give him a nice boyfriend if you want, I don't care which, just give him someone.

Mentally I am holding his hand and buying him a pint right now.

Julian Cantley (literally one single episode of Heartbeat)

Choo choo, all aboard the brainrot express. Get in loser we're forming deep emotional attachments to characters with like 20 minutes total screentime. Anyway I'm obsessed with him right now. It's disrupting my drive to create content for characters with actual fanbases because I just keep thinking about Brooding Spy Man Whomst Only I Care About instead. He's just so quiet and angry and brooding. I have so many headcanons for him. I've even headcanoned what his entire flat back in London looks like. Send help.

Ryan Reeves (The Dumping Ground)

Ah he's just a baby. Just a little guy. Who could stay mad at him. Yes the way he'd learn his lesson only to go back to being evil again 2 episodes later got frustrating, but like. He loves his sister and he rescued Harry and Finn. He's not all bad. Apart from when he's being a teenage supervillain lurking in the shadows for no reason. But it's all because he's SAD, you don't UNDERSTAND,

Michael Doyle (Grange Hill)

Look. He stopped being racist after he turned like 13, okay? He just became a petty criminal and politically corrupt instead. And his dad sucks, his dad says worse stuff than Mickey ever did, he was clearly just parroting his dad when he was wee. And there's something so sad and lonely about him. The way he always tries to join in with the group only get pushed out because everyone finds him unbelievably awful. The way he so wants to be Alan's friend. The way he only has the two friends he's got because he pays them to be his friend. Poor little guy. I have to believe he got it together eventually. I have to believe him and Justin were pals by the time they went to sixth form together. I have to.

Ralph Passmore (Tucker's Luck)

It's Mr Passmore! He means such a lot to me. I'm so happy they started portraying him sympathetically in series 2 because honestly? His rage is so justified. He's unemployed and he's already been cast aside as unemployable. His family have already given him up as a lost cause. His only friend and ally in his family is his younger sister, who ends up leaving home to get away from how verbally abusive their parents are. He drinks to cope and joins a gang for the companionship. He finally gets a job after years of unemployment but finds out it's exploiting vulnerable fellow working class people in his community so he angrily and aggressively quits, after befriending and supporting an old lady. What a king.

The Revolution Will Be Livestreamed: Nicole Kornher-Stace’s Firebreak

The Revolution Will Be Livestreamed: Nicole Kornher-Stace’s Firebreak

Molly Templeton

Wed May 19, 2021 2:00pm

If you’ve not yet read Nicole Kornher-Stace’s novels Archivist Wasp and Latchkey, I’d like to strongly encourage you to do so. It’s not because they’re connected to Firebreak—to my surprise and delight, they are, though Firebreak is a standalone—but because they’re just so good. Immersive, dark, vivid, imaginative and eerie, they follow one young woman in a post-apocalyptic world where her task is two-pronged: survive, and catch ghosts.

Firebreak is set in a world not yet turned totally apocalyptic—but close. In 2134, two corporations run what used to be the U.S. Stellaxis and Greenleaf are in perpetual conflict, and citizens are regularly caught in the middle, leaving shattered cities and families. Mallory is one of those orphaned by the war. She lives in a hotel room with a handful of other orphans, all scraping together an existence from odd jobs and whatnot, counting the gallons of water they’re allotted each week.

Mal’s world is a bleak magic-mirror version of ours, an all-too-believable extrapolation from the climate, political and otherwise, we live in. But we don’t have SecOps, the immersive game in which Mal spends much of her free time. Players in the expansive digital world stream their gameplay, earning fans and sponsors and gifts from those who watch. If they’re really lucky, they might stumble across one of the game’s celebrity NPCs, the digital counterparts of real-life soldiers who are known, in life and in the game, only by numbers. In the real world, the numbered soldiers fight for Stellaxis—and serve as the face of the war’s marketing. In the game, finding an NPC can be a ticket to more viewers, more in-game gifts, more attention. More water, too.

Mal and her friend Jessa are low-level players and streamers. Jessa’s the chipper, outgoing one who talks with their viewers; Mal is less social, more focused on her game and on getting a glimpse of 22, the NPC who intrigues her. There’s nothing really special about Mal or Jessa, except that they happen to be the people who stumble on NPC 08, out in the middle of nowhere in game-space. And that action gets someone’s attention.

Firebreak is part mystery, part gamer-geek-out, part scream of rage at corporate culture and capitalist greed. Mal knows her world is a mess, but she’s never seen any hope of it changing—let alone hoped that she could change it. She’s deeply aware of how the lives of her roommates are marked by grief and trauma, that all of their families were destroyed by the powers that rule her world. And when she has a chance to act, to help people, she’s believably torn between fear and the certainty that the scary thing is the right thing to do.

I’m being specifically vague on plot here because part of the delight of reading Firebreak is unraveling secrets along with Mal, whose oh-shit-what-have-I-gotten-myself-into-now narration is immersive, endearing, and wry and, as things go ever further sideways, increasingly intense in a way that’s perfectly matched to the book’s video-game aspect. The intensity of the plot is carefully balanced by the strength and depth of the friendships among Kornher-Stace’s characters. “I’m committed to putting as many books as I can out into the world that treat platonic relationships with all the weight and gravity and significance usually reserved for romance,” Kornher-Stace explained on Goodreads. She’s not just committed to these relationships; she’s really, really good at them. Mal and Jessa play off each other’s strengths, find ways to keep each other going, and from the get-go their friendship feels lived-in and fleshed-out, familiar and true. The relationships with their roommates are less detailed, but we get a glimpse of each of them, an outline of personality and perspective that’s enough to convince me that Kornher-Stace could write another novel about each one.

But Mal’s interest in, and eventual connection with, 22 is something rarely seen: the friend-crush. The NPCs are celebrities, with merch of their faces, figurines, posters, you name it. They’re everywhere; they seem less people and more action figures. Mal’s attraction to 22 doesn’t involve the usual trappings, but is something deeper and harder to parse—and something that rings true and familiar. Haven’t many of us had that person we just want to be near, to get to know, but not in the way everyone else thinks? Or been attracted to a person in a way that you feel like ought to be romantic, but isn’t? That’s what Kornher-Stace puts on the page: a connection that rarely gets depicted, let alone as effectively as this.

Firebreak has been compared to Ready Player One, and if you have any kind of reaction to that, I understand. So did I. Both books involve an immersive, addictive video game that takes the place of a lot of “real life” for people in a broken future. But you will find no ‘80s references, no quests, no glib nostalgia here. The game feeds the plot, and it plays an important role in Mal and Jessa’s lives. But change needs to come to the real world, the world full of hungry, thirsty bodies at the mercy of corporate greed. What happens in the game matters, but on an entirely different level.

It’s difficult to talk about Firebreak without talking about how it connects to Archivist Wasp, though as I said before: This is a standalone novel, and you absolutely don’t have to have read Kornher-Stace’s other books to get completely sucked into it. That said, there’s a real reward here for those who have met Wasp and her world. The books work in tandem to tell a story about how systems of oppression and abuse replicate themselves, how the horrors faced by one generation may be the same thing later generations face, in different shapes and with different names. All three novels prioritize vivid,  platonic relationships, often between characters in exceedingly fraught situations—people fighting against forces that don’t really see them as people, and trying to retain their humanity in the face of incredible brutality.

Kornher-Stace sends her characters to underworlds, erases their realities, isn’t afraid to make death stark on the page, and knows how to show us horrible abuses without ever edging into gratuitousness or melodrama. Her heroine’s only superpowers are curiosity, stubbornness, and care—things we’re all capable of mustering up. This world feels real; this world is real, and not that far away. Firebreak reads like a warning, but one that’s simultaneously a gripping, affecting tale full of characters I hope we’ll get to meet again.

@disneyanddisneyships i went on a rant spiral geez LMFAO so here's some mallory(ft. Voc and friends) headcanons because im inlove w them ur honor

Vox is a big asshat so I imagine them bickering a lot

One time Alastor and Vox saw each other at the same bar because Aponi and Mallory were going to be performing there together. Send an ask about how I think that went.

Mallory is SPOILED. Flowers, clothes, bags, you name it. That's kind of his thing.

Mallory and Velvette are very close omg Velvette definitely tells Mal embarrassing stories about Vox

Valentino actually calls her "pretty thing"

I hesdcanon Vox as more powerful than Valentino because duh he runs technology, so I think Val is kinda neutral about her.

Mallory has a shock collar for.. reaserch. and science.. like blitz has his own.

Staticfly shopping dates. ALL THE TIME.

Vox's ego literally inflates faster than a balloon whenever Mal uses a product of his. Like, her eating Voot Floops for breakfast? "My products are just THAT awesome, huh babe? I'm just that kinda guy."

Vox cuts in the line at the grocery store, a restaurant, or like even on fast food chain dates.

He's a show-off.. with a girlfriend. He probably sees an advertisement of him and goes, "you see that? That's your cool boyfriend!"

Sometimes Mal just gotta be flirting with Vox on stage at Val's club

In the hamilton au, because idk if sinners can die from illness, mal gets exterminated instead and there was like a hellwide blackout that laster for two days LOL

Mal loves baking and making things so vox was definitely their sue chef. Also they bring him along to the happy (hazbin) hotel to bring like lil cupcakes or her favorite graham cake

I feel like they never really explicitly told Vox about Elise. They just said "I had a toxic ex" because she wasn't ready to come out and when they finally were, they were like "so you remember my ex right? She's a girl. Im bi."

--and at that moment Vox realized they were a bi couple. My fucking babies

Mal never got redeemed :( it's kinda impossible for Vox too cause who'll run hell's tech. Mal decides she would stay with him because even if she DOES get redeemed.. there's nothing for her in heaven. She'd have a couple of friends but.. it wouldn't be the same without tv man. Besides that, she sees Hell as her home.

Jason never got redeemed because Mal got him exterminated when Aponi went to heaven LMFAO BRO DIED BEFORE GETTING BETTER A SECOND TIME

She actually doesn't know how abusive Val can get. Like she knew everyone in hell was bad but she doesn't know he would be THAT bad. So imagine her surprise when Vox, Angel, Aponi, and Roxxie all revealed what he did..

Mal: "can I ask you a question?" Vox: "Yes, the air up here is pretty great, why do you ask?" Mal: *blank stare*

Mal is the little spoon

She fights off anyone who tries to assassinate Vox for their own greed even tho Vox can handle 'em pretty well.

Vox's form of apology is spoiling the hell out of her.

Mal is dating Vox ofcourse they're going to suffer about Vox's angry Alastor rants

The most non-PDA couple to ever exist.

Mal is a sleep-talker and I hc vox as someone who rarely sleeps so he watches her talk in her sleep and not let her live through it in the morning

Mallory height jokes

Mal tackles him for free wifi

[roman-cates]

Boss says she's discussed Bryce's household autonomy with Mal, and clearly laid out what will happen if any of his property is touched without clear provocation. They also apparently spoke about Mal's tendency to make elaborate plans without cluing Boss in.

Bryce wonders which part, exactly, had Mallory in tears. He doesn't mention it.

The rest of meeting with Boss goes…fine.

Not awful, thanks to Bryce's theories, although he doesn't share them in detail with her yet, just tells her he has some ideas involving Rose he needs to follow up on. (He also agrees to leave a copy of his theories in a certain spot, just in case something happens to him. He's done this before, and it's never worried him. The thought of getting taken out is a bit of a bother today, though. What would happen to Roman?)

Not great, because he doesn't have the hard evidence he'd need, and Mallory has to much support from important parties. Even Boss has a bit of a soft spot for Mal, developed when she was younger and not quite worn away by her greed or her disregard for Boss's rules. Bryce thinks Mal is on thin ice, though.

He does manage to get concessions on the Lenny and Flynn front. And on who will be paying for Roman's treatment and required gear.

They discuss a few other things, very briefly, and Bryce is out of her office by four-ten.

The drive home is usually pleasant, but today his brain keeps chewing over the problem of Roman like a dog with a bone. He doesn't have any answers, and he needs to get to the dead drop. Roman's around for at least another few months, he figures, can't send him off when he can't walk even with crutches. And how the hell can he make Roman more assertive? The discussion about disagreements from lunch…

Maybe it'll be better when Bryce is gone. He seems a bit fixated on the ownership concept. It's a hell of a gamble to send him away on the bare hope that something will fix itself.

Maybe Bryce can spend a night or two away, have Kyle stay at the house for a few days. That way the specter of being 'owned' will be absent for a little bit, and Roman can just be…Roman.

He'll have to think on that.

Right now, he's home. He knocks on the door and calls out, "I'm back." Not too loud, Roman is probably just on the other side of the door.

Previous

The report from Kyle... The most concerning thing is that Roman doesn't think there's anything to be that upset about— at least nothing that Bryce wouldn't have already known. And... whatever it was had to have been about Roman, which means that it should be something Roman is aware of at the very least. And he can't think of anything...

There is a bit of a scary thought that crosses his mind, though... What if it wasn't something that was wrong, but something that wasn't wrong..? It doesn't really seem like Bryce to be upset that Roman isn't as poorly off as he expected. If it's not something that's actually wrong, though...

Bryce knocks on the door a little before Roman expected him to. He hears him call that he's back and Roman smiles a little as he unlocks the door and awkwardly pulls it open. It's a little difficult to do from the angle he's at.

[jimothy-g-brooks]

Alright, so one of the set of characters I used this stock idea for was a set of bad guy Sonic OC's.

Samniel The Kitsune - The Sovereign Of Sorrows: A snow white magical fox from a faraway land taken as a baby by a clan of evil bat wizards and raised to fuel their magics and terrible rituals. She served them for generations, in fact, until they grew arrogant and assured in their control over her. She has six tails, each one used to fuel one of the other Sorrows. She wears a cape of leathered bat wings and manacles with chains around her wrists that remain even after she broke free.

Edge The Hedgehog - The Sorrow Of Rage: Real name, Edelburga, though she hates being called that. Once a noble if always aggressive protector of her people, Samniel manipulated factors that caused her to turn against and destroy those very same people. Once possessed of a strong sense of justice, now she has only anger and regrets.

Princess Goldenrod The Cat - The Sorrow Of Pride: Once a noble, fourth in line to some forgotten throne, Goldenrod was another victim of Samniel's manipulation, albeit more direct than with Edge. Filled with thoughts and ideas of saving her kingdom from the corrupt court that ruled it, she eliminated her rivals to the throne only to spark a civil war that destroyed her kingdom utterly. Now she fights to regain some measure of her stature and rebuild that which was lost, and it still doesn't matter whom she has to destroy to do it.

Mr. Malaurdum The Duck - The Sorrow Of Greed: A businessman that was as shrewd and corrupt as they come, who only cared about adding more and more to his influence and his coffers. Samniel tried to sink her claws into him but he saw right through her, and then offered himself willingly in exchange for magical power.

Grok The Frog - The Sorrow Of Hunger: A jolly fat giant of an amphibian, Samniel found him dying in a ditch. Driven from civilization, run out of every town he came to, for his insatiable and awful appetites after some old tragedy drove him to seek solace in endless hedonism. She couldn't have constructed a more perfect destruction of someone's life, not unless she tried really hard. Taken by him and his circumstances, she offered him power to feed and indulge his every desire.

Grease The Bat - The Sorrow Of Sloth: Real name, Ater Caligo. The, or at least one of the, last surviving members of the wicked Caligo Clan of wizards that enslaved Samniel for generations. He's a black vampire bat with the weird nose and huge leathery wings. These match the ones Samniel wears as a cape, Grease's father's. Not that he cares too much, his family brought it on themselves and there's nothing he can do about it. He'd rather spend his time moping or napping, unless Samniel goads him to do her bidding through repeatedly applied pain and fear. His catchphrase is "Pointless".

Mallory the Duck - The Beast Of Sorrows: Mr. Malaurdum's favorite grandchild that he doted upon. Actually, his least favorite, knowing any he showed favoritism to could be targeted for leverage, so he picked the most naive and stupid of his descendants to get that bull's eye painted on her back. It worked too, because when Samniel demanded her as a price, the kitsune was thrown when Malaurdum did it without pausing. Mallory was then unpleasantly integrated into a robot golem and used as its power source / process core / unwilling pilot.

The Seven Sorrows (Stock Characters)

Alright, stock characters of my imagination, the Seven Sorrows:

The Seven Sorrows are a group of bad guys who almost seem to map to the Seven Deadly Sins. Rather, five of them map to a kind of vice or sin, two sins are missing and the two extra characters seem to have their own thing going on.

The characters that fill the roles of Rage & Pride have a lot of parallels in their motivations, the difference is pure classism in exactly the direction you'd expect. They both feel like they've been done dirty and lash out at the world that wronged and wounded them. The other difference may be that Pride wants there to be a world the acknowledges that they were wrong and that this person is great. Rage just waits for the day they burn everything to the ground or they burn out, only then can they know peace.

The roles of Greed and Gluttony contrast precisely for looking the same but actually being different. Greed is just callous and calculating and willing to sell their own kin up a river for a profit. Gluttony just lives in the moment, uncaring, deliberately unthinking, drowning in the pleasure of the moment to keep themself from remembering yesterday or wondering about tomorrow. Their whole deal may be "More More More" but emphasis should be places that that is a surface level reading.

Gluttony also has elements of lust, their whole deal is hedonism, fulfilling physical desires without thought to the consequences, now or later. How much lust is displayed depends on the media the Seven show up in.

The Sovereign Of Sorrows is the first of the non-specific vice. This is the Satanic figure of the group, the one responsible for the downfalls of the lives of all the others, turning them into the wrecks they are now. Except Greed, Greed was always that bad and joined up without prompting, looking for power. The Sovereign does this out of pure sadism, and they may be responsible for losing some of their minions for the same reason, unable to help themself.

The Sovereign's deal is that they were once a slave to a very cruel and sadistic family. After killing them and setting themself free, they've decided to never be fettered or chained by anything again, especially morals, which their masters certainly never had. In fact, the rest of the Seven may each be based on one of the family.

The Sorrow Of Sloth is the last surviving member of the family. Sloth was disgusted by their family's excesses but was too apathetic, scared and powerless to do anything about it. The Sovereign rewarded and punished them by giving them powers and forcing them to come along with Sovereign's atrocities, unable and unwilling to resist.

The Beast Of Sorrows is the last and is more of a victim than a villain. They are the child or grandchild to Greed, who sold them to the Sovereign in exchange for membership and power. The Sovereign gleefully enslaved them, inflicting worse things on the child than the Sovereign ever endured and turned them into the Beast. A victim made to help their tormentors.

The role that they possibly fill in an action-adventure story is third party wild card antagonists. The Sovereign's primary motivation is stirring shit up, their minions probably have more goals than they do. Though the Sovereign will throw their weight behind their minions to keep them happy, especially if it's something that will ruin someone's day. Primarily, the Sovereign keeps them in line through a combination of psychological manipulation and gaslighting, and by being the one who owns their super powers, able to take them away if so desired.

The Sovereign primarily seeks more things to make themself more powerful and the pleasure of using it to twist the world into a worse place. They may throw in with another villain if the opportunity to do both is there, playing the role of a mini boss squad too.

Pride and Greed are a pair of Starscreams, the ostensible lieutenants of the Sorrows, and constantly scheming against the Sovereign and each other to take the Sovereign's power for themself. Greed does it because they want the power, but is willing to be the power behind the throne if it comes to that. Pride believes they deserve the prestige and would accept an advisor so long as they didn't feel like they were a puppet. The Sovereign keeps them around for no reason because the high stress environment this creates is exactly their kind of jam and is precisely what is expected of their roles besides.

Mal: an ACCIDENT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! You always had it out for me because I had a "better" life in hell than you! You wanted me gone because you were jealous! Just wanting the spotlight! I looked UP to you! I thought you were my BEST FRIEND. YOU RUINED MY DEATH! And then you just.... left me..... and you didn't even CARE-

Aponi: I DID CARE! It WAS an accident! It was!

Mal: *swings them to hide from the assassins*

Aponi: okay you're right it was all my fault! I was- I was SCARED.... i was TRYING! I was trying to protect you but there was just SO MUCH going on and I just-.... *sighs and tears up, looking at the floor* it was still my fault...

Duckvember2022 #13: Scheming

"Heart, are ya there?" He asked as he seemed to listen for us.

I stood still, hearing an odd tone in his voice. Mallory looked to me from her hiding spot. I shook my head to indicate something was off.

"Where are ya?" He questioned.

It was and wasn't him all at once. His tone warned me with prided and impatience. He started stepping closer again. I looked to Mallory with unease in my eyes. Then I gave her a quick, silent nod, as I signaled for her to wait where she was. With a deep breath, I turned the corner to stand in front of him. Upon seeing me, he looked me up and down in a way he never had before. His remaining left eye held a cold touch to it as though he were assuming my worth.

Duke then stepped swiftly in front of me as he reached for and grabbed my wrist. Pulling my hand up, he slipped his other beneath my chin to have me look up at him, "Ya seem to be quite vaulable? So I think I'll keep ya for myself."

His charming smile was replaced with a greed filled smirk that I had never known him to wear. I tried to wrench my hand away from him, but he held it tighter to prevent me from slipping away, "Nice try, but when I decide to steal somethin', I always finish the job."

Then he gave a laugh as he looked over my head to Mallory's hiding spot, "I'd put that blaster away if I were you. All it will do is alert the others, an' I'd rather not have to worry about them chasin' us. Though I am up for the adrenaline rush if need be."

"Duke, what's gotten into you?" Mallory asked while I stood in shock still.

"Nothin' much, jus' woke up after feelin' like I've been asleep for a long while," he noted while glancing at me, "For such a spell to be woven over me, your magic must be quite worth all the fuss right?"

My eyes widened in disbelief to hear him refer to me in this way.

Duke looked over his shoulder for a moment before looking back at me. His smirk remained as he leaned close to me, "Is such an odd girl really worth all this trouble?"

"Duke, what's wrong with you?" I finally asked, shaking myself from the disbelief I was trapped in, "This isn't you!"

"Isn't it though?" He smirked while starting down the hall with me nearly dragged with him.

"No!" I tried to get free from his grasp as he pulled me along.

"Duke, stop it! Why are you doing this?"

Duke, still rather calm and collected, gave a smug smirk as he made me look up at him again while he answered, "I'm a thief, remember?"

I shook my head. In all these years whenever he mentioned that word, there had been a certain skip in my beating heart. This time it didn't skip. This time it froze from the ice in his tone. His cupped hand under my chin gripped it rather harshly. He asked with the same casual smirk I usually adored, “Don't ya like this side of me?”

"Now let's go!" he commanded as he began to force me to follow again, his hand in a vice around my wrist as I tried to pull free.

"Duke...."

"Let her go L'Orange!" Mallory ordered from behind him now with her blaster trained at his back.

"Mallory!" I pleaded, "Don't!"

Duke paused in his steps, scoffing a bit, "Ya won't do it. Ya wouldn't do that to a trusted friend an' teammate would ya?"

"The real you would want me to if it kept her safe!" She assured with anger in her eyes as she noticed him twisting my wrist to keep me from getting loose.

Duke then spun me around to where I was facing him as he looked down at me. Struggling proved useless as I fought with how familiar and how alien him holding onto me seemed at the same time.

"Look, I can always knock ya out an' drag ya away if I have to," he warned me harshly, before pausing in his fight to keep a hold of me.

For a split second, Duke slipped his hand from my chin to the back of my head. His fingers brushed over the old scars that had taken my memories all those years ago.

Behind him I saw Mallory creeping up behind him.

"Duke?" I attempted, "Duke, what's wrong? What happened to you?"

"All I know, it that I have a job to do," he said simply, before smirking again as he slid his hand to my scarred cheek, tracing the line under my eye, "Though they didn't count on me decidin' to keep ya instead."

"Who gave you this job?" I questioned with fear washing over me.

"He says he's been lookin' for ya for years," he answered with a shrug, "but he'll have to find us first if he wants ya so badly."

My eyes widened in horror as that chill ran rapidly through me, “Shadow?! He's here?!”

Looking up at Duke, I now knew what had happened. I knew why he was acting so calously towards me, smug even. Yet at the same time, I noticed something lingering in his remaining brown eye as he watched me in turn.

"You're trying to keep me from him?" I realized when that faint glimmer of light came and went.

Even with his soul twisted up, all his warmth gone, some part of him was trying to defy Shadow's desires. Why give up such a treasure when he could possess it himself? Who would catch Puck World's greatest thief if he returned to his life of crime? Shadow hadn't been able to stop him thus far.

"I figured you were worth stealin'," he then said, sounding slightly more invested than before, as though he were trying to remember why he'd decided this in the first place.

"Duke, I'd give you myself in a heartbeat," I assured him, before giving a reluctant slight nod to Mallory.

He gave a prideful smirk that made my stomach twist to see on him, "Ya don't really have a choice do ya?"

In that instant, Mallory gave him a hard kick in his side, causing Duke to release me as he was knocked into the wall. He yelled out in anger from the sudden impact, and tried to leap back to grab me. I jumped back and forced my hands out towards him. Focusing I breathed out as crystals began to hold him in place. I nearly stopped when he glared at me. Blinking tears away I continued to focus until his wrists, and ankles were held in place against the wall with crystal shackles locking him there.

"Ya think this will hold me?" He demanded with a growl of contempt in his voice.

I shook my head, "Not really, but it'll give us time to get the real you back."

"You're goin' right up to him doin' this!" He warned me, "Ya would have at least been safe with me."

I looked at him with a pain in my chest and a forced soft smile as I said, "If it were the real you, then I know that I would I be safe. Yet seeing you like this....this isn't the thief you once were is it? You never looked at anything the way you're watching me now did you?"

"How do we get him back?" Mallory asked.

"I don't know," I said as I ran my hand through my hair, from my bangs to the base of my neck.

"He must have the others waiting like this too," Mallory said through frustration.

Inside my chest, my heart began to burn as I considered this. The need to run washed away when I saw Duke looking at me like I was nothing but something to take. My hands balled into shaking fists, knowing the others were altered in such a way as well. What traits were drained away, how were their souls altered to bring me running?

"Shadow wants to see me?" I heard myself ask in a growing rage, "Then I'll oblige!"

"Heart, that's giving him what he wants isn't it? We need to think about this!" Mallory tried to warn me.

"What's to think or talk about? We have to get them back don't we?" I questioned.

I looked up at Duke again as he glared at me. I wondered how long he had fought? I wanted to know if he was still fighting somehow?

In this attempt, I stepped closer to him, making sure his wrists were still bound as I did. Then I gazed up at him to find an answer. He raised a brow at this, as though surprised by these actions.

"Let me go sweetheart," he attempted in a smooth tone not even touched with the vile tones he'd been using.

"I'm sorry my thief," I told him as I stood on my toes to reach him.

With that I stole a kiss from him. As I did this I rested my hand over his chest to feel his heartbeat pound faster. When I stepped back I noticed the longing, and yet bewilderment, in his eye as he tried to lean into the kiss himself still. I smiled with some hope when I saw this sliver of a sign. Yet I also saw him beginning to slip his wrist from the crystal bindings to get free. With one hand free he grabbed for me as I narrowly stepped back in time.

“Jus' let me steal ya from him! Let me go, an' he won't find ya! We can hop worlds together!” Duke called to me as I forced myself to run from him.

How you met Alex Fierro

Percy Jackson ver~ Jason Grace ver~ Leo Valdez ver~ Nico Di Angelo ver~ Frank Zhang ver~ Will Solace ver~ Magnus Chase ver~ Hearthstone ver~

Watching how you died was an odd thing. You were stood up in front of hundreds of others watching the moments before your death. As you watched it felt like your throat was closing an becoming unbearably dry. Moments after the projection stopped playing a lady with wood chips threw them at before you were told to sit at a table with a few others a

As you sat down a boy in a military uniform looked up at you "Welcome to floor 19" he told you shaking your hand. "Oh um thanks" you sat down not to a girl with red hair and she looked over at you. "I'm Mallory"  she said it's a thick accent. "It's nice to meet you." "Uh you too" grabbing your food you started eating and picked up on a bit of the conversation.

"Is Alex not back?" Asked a boy with blond hair asked. "Should be" Mallory said. "Alex did die late they should be here in a few" pointed out the boy in the military uniform.

A few minutes passed if you quietly eating as conversations continued to buzz around you. Looking up you saw a boy with dyed greed hair, a vest, and pink pants walking towards your table.

"You're late" the blond boy, Magnus, told him. "Well I'm here right now" the new boy told Magnus. "Who's This? A newbie?" He asked pointing at you . "I'm (Y/n)" you stuck out your hand for him to shake. "Alex" after dinner you finally asked some of the questions that had been bothering you.

"So what are we doing here? Why are we here?" you asked Mallory, Alex and Magnus, having learned everyone's names. They explained what your you were doing here and what a Einherjar was. "And T.J said that you 'died late' what does that mean?"

"I was later to die during combat" he told you, as you started walking towards were they said your room was. "So everyday we go into combat to prepare for Ragnarok?" You asked "Yup, well this is your room, we'll see you tomorrow" said T.J. "It was nice meeting you all as well." You said before turning and walking into your room.
