@sah1x1s gets something even though she’s on hiatus whoops anyway here’s Frankie adopting a ghost

———

Cole wanted to be of help, needed to be of help to someone.

In the rich soil laid the boy of his likeness, and above were structures he yet couldn’t comprehend. Little boxes, where people lay like tiny trinkets tucked away, come and go come and go-one shone more than the others a man near 40, military, a good soul but drenched and rung out through various ammount of torment.

Cole was known by Lila the best, the little toddler had drawn the lithe boy multiple times, cole finding his spot on the fridge tho frightening others. Lila would ask him to rock her to sleep or to stand guard against the dark forces -which Cole did, with a lopsided smile on his face. He was helping!-

When the trinket box went quiet he became dejected, left to rattle his own tune instead of having to harmonize. But then father returned. Then did lila, though the tune changed. He was rung out again.

It started off small. Cole found little trinkets for the trinket box that he placed here and there. A chain of daisies, rocks, a rats skull, a little hat for the skull…

Then one day, he finally broke the silence between him and the father. He was sitting next to Lila’s high chair, as the man took his pills for the morning.

“Prescribing pretty pills for primitive problems. Grief, grief, I’m sorry that he had to die. Pretty pills pretty pills.” To which Lila replied with soft “pa-pa-pa-pas” cole smiling at the sound “pretty pills pretty pills pa pa pa pa.”

Cole had found him out in the forest one day, his apron full of tiny vermin -still alive- before nearly tripping over the man. They had been inseparable really ever since. And not because Cole was being a pest. ok maybe ... but he wanted so desperately to be of help.

Even if that meant putting extra honey in the mans milk before bed!

"Still real..." Cole mutters, his hands making a small daisy chain as the lanky ghost sat next to Orym.

"Sorries are meant for wrongs, you needn't worry." He humms, before starting up again. "real or not, real or not, what only is real but the will for it to be?"

"Is the birdsong real? or the swaying of the trees? am i? perhaps not. dependent definition..." He slowly raises his hands to place the floral crown upon oryms head, as if he didnt just admit to maybe not being a human.

Orym didn't speak much after they had found him. He'd been gone for weeks. The Ruby Vanguard getting the drop on the party. He knew he'd fallen in battle. How badly the whole thing had gone, he couldn't even remember. But at least some of the Vanguard had gotten away.

With him.

At first he thought maybe everyone had been taken, captured, questioned. But they had quickly let him know that hadn't been the case. That his friends had left him to die. He knew that couldn't be true.

But they had kept and tortured and manipulated Orym for nearly a month. He had started to question things, not realizing that had been their plan all along. They tortured him without asking questions sometimes, threatened people he loved, then assured him they would come to no harm. He never saw who any of them were. Magical darkness or blindness prevented him from seeing most of anything. They used illusory magic to make him hear thing. People.

His body was healed well enough. His sword arm was slower than it had been, but with practice that could heal in time.

"I don't know what they wanted from me... just to let me go..." Orym couldn't give the group much in the way of anything. He hadn't seen anything. He only heard what they wanted him to.

"I don't know... if this is real or not. Right here." His hands shook, lifting his better one to wipe tears from his face. "I'm sorry."

I personally believe the reason Solas disapproves of Cole becoming more human is that he doesn't want to risk losing him when he tears down the veil

Solas very much supports personhood and autonomy, that's his whole thing

Most of the times he disapproves is when it contradicts his neat little (initial) idea that the current state of TheDAS is not real OR if it will have negative outcomes for that person down the road

I don't doubt people have discussed this before but it's back in my mind again as Veilguard nears

[biteofcherry]

I'm hoping to launch a certain event in the upcoming months (probably starting March, but it's still tbd) and I was wondering, which of the characters I haven't written for yet, you'd like me to include in the future?

[the-ninja-legacy-whip]

From all of the cast who's best friends with who? Like who would call dibs when teaming up?

Welp:

It's no surprise that Cole's go-to choice is Zane, but beyond the elephant in the room, they are each other's oldest + longest-lasting friend, and know each other best. They often fall into line with one another without even having to ask!

Similar to Cole and Zane, Kai and Jay tend to fall into sync automatically, as despite their tendency to take shots at each other their elements complement one another well and they both know how to get the most out of each other's fighting style.

If Nya and Lloyd weren't already Ride or Die, they'd wind up with one another anyway given how much the Core Four tend to head off doing their own thing a fair chunk of the time. Suits Nya just fine though—although we gotta be careful that Lloyd's enthusiastically destructive tendancies don't rub off on her snknksnk

Antonia probably shouldn't be weaseling her way into anything remotely dangerous, but when she does she's obviously tagging along with Jesse (at least, until Nelson gets into the picture). Jesse never fights it because he knows he's not gonna win shgfdhggd

Sunni's de facto best friend may be Samantha, but whenever she does wind up entangled with some Ninja Things, she's tag-teaming with Miranda (in which they may get distracted talking about Jay or sci-fi topics), and/or Harleigh (depending on the point-in-time...and Harleigh's mood)

This is prolly gonna sound somewhat bizarre, but I plan to have Skylor and Pixal team up often because they are both badass and cool and I desire more of their dynamic. We had a teeny taste in Crystalized and I want MOAR (...at least, once Pixal starts to warm-up to Skylor after, y'know, Skylor's dad tearing her apart and stuff.)

Olivia: Since Nya has replaced me with garbage, I'll just have to take Bridget instead 😤  Bridget: No, no you're nOT—

Brad/Sally/Gene and Chad/Maggie/Meghan all come as packaged set within their trios, though while they're not ~main~ characters, they'll show up often enough during shenanigans to be mentioned and I love their dynamics with one another (despite Chad's group being jerks at this moment in time) but aaaah I'm so excited to use them more—they're not exactly friends but they do eventually see the similarities in one another and it's so fun

Harumi, meanwhile:

@mysticaltwoface continued from here

She felt like she had the worst hangover of her life. Even worse than after Ollie's wedding. Laurel didn't even remember drinking. Or anything from the night before. She was sore all over and felt a sting in her eyes. When had she been crying? "Oh god, where am I?"

"Howdy, partner~" The cowboy purred in his deep country accent.

"Long time no see."

Took a little bit off this website bc of school mostly and Secondly because I'm finally putting all of by hc and writing about hanzo into a long fic if been brewing for a while. And it's been pretty fun and calming

[not-your-chosen]

Cole tilted his head to the side, the wide brim of his hat moving with and showing more of the straw blond hair that hid his eyes. He, of course, could still see him clearly, see the pained smile on his face and the tears falling.

Cole turns away for a moment, Turning back with an intricately embroidered handkerchief, the initials on it not Cole's , not anywhere close to a 'C'. He offers it to orym with both hands, like giving a present.

"I hope you are real too!" he smiles crookedly. "I hope you find yourself real as well." He states quietly, his hands drifting back to his lap aswell as his gaze, as if the grass was extremely interesting to him -it kindof is-

"Sometimes the birdsong is sad too, like widows once wed, but what is sadness but love in mourning? You have worn the daisy chain before?" Cole knew he needed to be gentle around orym, his wounds both one thing, the other really being the fact that normal people, humans, halflings... well, maybe anybody, didn't like his.. intuition. He hummed, stopping the words spilling to him now that hes so near orym.

[ cont from here with @not-your-chosen 's Cole ]

Orym looked up at the word 'Will'. The emphasis put on it. Maybe this wasn't 'real'. Maybe it was all in his head. Maybe Cole was some new manifestation. The fact that he was dying maybe or missing Will.

But if he were, though he suspected he would want to be somewhere as beautiful as this forest, he knew he would be seeing his dead husband. And while Cole was handsome, he wasn't exactly Will's twin.

"I hope you're real. You've been kind to me." Orym took a breath, "You're nice, I want you to be real. I just... I don't know anymore." He leaned back, letting his hands fall flatly against the grass. In their short journey he did this quite a bit. Touching the grass or dirt when they rested, playing with leaves he would pluck from a tree every few feet.

He couldn't help but smile at the flower crown being placed on his head. But it did bring more tears. He couldn't help those either. He remembered him and Will sitting and weaving stems of flowers together, making each other a crown.

Maybe Orym should just embrace it. Reality or not, it was better than the starvation and torture and being force fed healing potions and hardly anything else just to be hurt again. Cole seemed to rarely eat, or at least Orym never saw it, instead Cole provided him with food. There was a town nearby, but Orym didn't think he was ready to venture into it just yet.

INTRODUCING christopher "kit" warren an original character based in the dc comics universe. he is portrayed by jordan gonzalez.

christopher "kit" warren is the civilian identity of the vigilante known as PORTAL, a twenty-six year old meta-human with the ability to warp or teleport short distances (safely). outside of hero work, he's an independent video game developer and graphic designer, though the latter job is more for bringing in a semi steady flow of income rather than a job he does for pleasure. ideally, he'd love to have more time to work on games but he knows that that's not feasible at this point; both for the lack of income and because of his commitment to protect his community. being a hero comes first to him.

kit is originally from star city but moved away in his early twenties. his birth parents died when he was just a baby, his godfather, cole carpenter, took him in and raised him. his home life was fairly chill, he was well taken care of and never went without necessities but it was incredibly clear that cole wasn't prepared to raise a child. he still had growing up to do when he took kit in, since he was only in his early twenties and still hadn't even decided what he wanted to do in life. and while cole did his best, he was more of an older brother figure rather than the parental figure that kit needed.

that being said kit wouldn't change a single thing. he loves cole so much. that's his only real family. plus, there were perks to growing up with a young parent — rules tended to be lax, he had an easier time getting his way if he needed, and, once he was older, he could have fun spending time with his godfather doing things that they'd both enjoy. (one thing they would do together regularly was training at the gym where cole works. it started off as easy stuff, where kit was trying to mirror what cole was doing and gradually became more serious and branched off into kit begging cole to let him seriously train to become a fighter like he was. cole caved fairly fast.)

growing up he, like so many other children, loved superheroes. he'd play pretend with the other kids in his neighborhood and they'd all have their own hero identity (no one ever volunteered to be the villain, it was always more fun to be the good guys because they got all the perks). if anyone asked him during that time, he would've proudly told them that he wanted to be a hero when he grew up, he wanted to save people just like the heroes on the news. it wouldn't be until he was a little older that he'd realise his childish daydream could be reality. (his meta abilities would first manifest when he was around nine or ten, thus paving the way for his eventual decision to become a hero.)

being a meta was only a shock to kit himself, his godfather knew there was a chance he'd be one since both his parents were. the only thing he wouldn't have been able to predict was kit's abilities, which were nothing like his parents'. having a superpower was cool as hell to kit but it was terrible for cole; he now had to wrangle a superpowered child, who wasn't easily convinced that he shouldn't show off his power, and who was capable of evading him without putting much effort into it.

shortly after his abilities first manifested, kit came out to his godfather which caused cole to become more protective of him. he enrolled kit into self defense classes, alongside the training he was already doing with kit, to make sure that kit was able to defend himself when he was on his own. he wasn't about to lose his kid because some asshole didn't approve of his identity.

cole had no way of knowing that kit was going to use those skills when he would sneak out at night, taking his first steps as a hero in his neighborhood. he should've expected it, he really should've, given how serious kit was about becoming a hero but it still nearly gave him a heart attack when he found out. not even because kit told him, no he saw something, when he was reading the news, about a new meta hero that popped up in star city... who appeared to be pretty young (there was questions about how safe it is for a kid to be fighting crime)... and who could seemingly teleport.... and he didn't have to be a genius to figure out that that was HIS idiot teenage wannabe hero. needless to say kit was grounded for a couple weeks after cole found out and they had to have a long discussion about safety and why he shouldn't keep going out, even though cole knew that it wouldn't stop kit from going out. unfortunately.

as he got older he got cockier. he'd investigate riskier cases, he'd patrol outside of his neighborhood, and he stopped trying to stay under the radar of other heroes and vigilantes that happened to be in star city.

at twenty-six years old he's a fairly well established vigilante (& if the whole no metas in gotham fanon rule thing exists, than he's pretty regularly breaking that rule because? he doesn't give a shit about what batman says. he can't stop him.)
