BRC Headcanon Full Names

I have another BRC ask to work on tonight, thus I figure I should post this now. So then, behold! A big ol’ list of full name headcanons!

Basically a continuation of this post I made a long while back. This covers pretty much all the major characters, at least the playable ones. Plus even specific crew members from the rival crews!

Some of these have specific meanings that I used for the particular character, others were just kind of more general vibes, like “Oh this sounds cool/cute/etc.” A few of these will have extra notes on why I picked particular given/family names, but otherwise just assume it was because I liked the sound of it! Went with mostly Dutch last names for most of these characters since, well, dialog in parts of the game imply New Amsterdam is still in the Netherlands, so that made it a bit easier when I couldn't think of anything else to try, y'know? :P

Also note, not everyone here has a middle name. Not everyone irl has one anyways! Also also, some of the Dutch last names may be in the format of “Van (something)” or “De (something”, so just wanted to point that out in case anyone might get confused and think Van/De is a middle name, lol

Starting with the main cast:

Tryce = Tristian Christoffel

Bel = Annabella Pieper

DJ Cyber = Cyrus Rafaël Nassau

Felix = Bernard Manfred Van Steen (I still maintain that Felix looks like his real name would be Bernard, lol)

Vinyl = Florence Zoë Hendriks (when she was a child, she would sometimes write it as “Hendrix” and try to convince people she was related to Jimi Hendrix; it worked more often than it probably should have)

Solace = Levi Smit

The five bonus BRC members:

Rave = Vanessa Yvonne Ziegler (A headcanon, note, her dad is a black German, and her mom is from the Dominican Republic! Since she has a bunch of lines in German, and at least two in Spanish (one in particular being specifically Dominican slang), so that’s how I’m handled this :P )

Mesh = Bassam Karimi (first name means “smiling” in Arabic, last name is derived from the given name Karim/Kareem, which in turn means something along the lines of "generous, noble" or “dignity”; my research into this yielded differing results, but this seems to be more or less the overall idea. Honestly think it both sounds nice and really suits him!)

Shine = Sol Bakker (“Sol” just means “sun” in Spanish and Portugese, basically the idea is she derived her street name from that!)

Rise = Josephine Katherina Thomas (She hates being called any sort of nickname for her first name. It’s either Rise or Josephine, that’s it)

Coil = Oscar Meijer (Fun fact, the English equivalent of Meijer is Meyer/Mayer. I genuinely did not intentionally make Coil’s real name to be a roundabout reference to the lunch meat, but now that I realize it, I’m definitely keeping it this way, loool)

Some others:

Rietveld = We know here full name is Irene Rietveld, but a bonus idea: the rest of BRC point out it’s a bit awkward for her to go by her real name as her street/writer name, so she eventually settles on Rivet as an alias! :D

Escher = Matthias Conrad Escher (Originally just Matthias, but then decided to make a reference to the actual M. C. Escher, “Yeah, my parents knew what they were doing.”; thanks to @slappels for the suggestion way back when!!)

My Devil Theory OCs! The season in parentheses is what in-game palette they correspond with.

Sai (spring) = Tomás Lucas Ortiz

Nunchaku (summer) = Roxanne Beverly Sullivan

Daishō (autumn) = Hiro Francisco Morikawa (first name using the character for “prosperous” (浩); last name using the characters for “forest” (森) and “river” (川). Not that he ever gets a chance to write them in Japanese characters anyways :P )

Bō (winter) = Gavril Jansen

Now for DOT EXE! A repeat from the full DOT EXE headcanons I made a while back, but still including it here for convenience.

Cueball = Ernesto Alberto Visser (Dutch father and Italian-American mother; “Her side of the family were like, the conservative Italian-American types. The kind that makes an annoyingly big deal about celebrating Columbus Day.”; his first and middle name come from two different great grandfathers on his mom’s side)

Eight Ball = Frederik Visser (older half-brother to Cueball, they share the same dad)

Cinco (five ball) = César Hugo Raúl Garcia-Flores (last name got hyphenated when he moved to New Amsterdam while getting his papers in order and stuff; not sure if I ever clarified it in the original post, but in most (probably all?) Spanish-speaking countries, people have two last names, one from their father and the other from their mother. When moving to a country that doesn’t allow for two last names, some people end up forced to pick one or the other. Cinco went with just hyphenating it to be able to effectively keep both.)

Neun (nine ball) = Sebastián Montero Sebastian Jäger

Twoson (two ball) = Beau Driessen

Fourside (four ball) = Robin Zaal

Jūrō (ten ball) = Maximilien Théodore Perrault

Quatorze (fourteen ball) = Marie-Madeleine Lucille Perrault

And heck, the rest of the New Amsterdam crews too while I’m at it. Same as with DT and DE, the season in parentheses is the corresponding in-game palette for the playable rival character.

The Franks:

Flesh Prince = Ruben Vos (last name meaning fox, and apparently was/is a nickname for a clever person… or a person with red hair, lol)

Bill (spring) = Caspar Westenberg

Charles (summer) = Thomas Vogels

Michael (autumn) = Abraham Joël Admiraal

Larry (winter) = Lennard Van Herten

(For their street names besides the Prince, they’re named after famous basketball players, specifically from this list; Charles, Michael, and Larry are probably obvious, with Bill there’s at least two different Bills on that list lol)

Eclipse: (Street names come from constellations, I tried to go with more (relatively?) obscure ones for the names)

Vela (spring) = Sara Al-Ghazzawi

Aquila (summer) = Melissa Agnes Fortuin

Lyra (autumn) = Hannah De Klerk

Cassiopeia (winter) = Xandra Gemma Daalmans (given name is actually Alexandra, but she goes mostly by Xandra for her business)

And finally the rest of FUTURISM: (see my recent short headcanon post about them!)

Nyx (spring) = Laura Kappel

Jazz (summer) = Vincent Linden

Veronica (autumn) = Paula Prinsen (Paula is the feminine form of Paul, which in turn has roots in the Latin word Paulus which can mean humble. This is an intentionally ironic name choice for this character, lmao. Also Prinsen means “son of the Prince”, so this one is more in line with her haughty attitude)

Quantum (winter) = Esther Katja Hoedemaker (She goes by Kat as a nickname)

This next one only applies to my fanfic AU of “What if we take the postgame at face value and Red somehow became a separate person from both Felix and Faux”, but anyways:

Red = Russell Miles Van Steen (Picked the first and middle names himself, note that Russell just means “red” lol. He took on Felix’s last name since they see each other as brothers after a certain point. And it’s not like Red could come up with a better last name anyways. His middle name when paired with Felix’s middle name is a Miles Edgeworth reference :P )

[issdefiant]

let me be clear though: i 100% mean my take on felix. canon felix doesn’t exist here

Is This...?

Pairing: SKZ’s Chan x OC [Chaeyeon] || SKZ’s Changbin x OC [Nayoung] Genre: slice of life, slight fluff Word Count: 5,081 Summary: Changbin asks his older sister for help in confessing to the girl he likes. Ofc there’s another reason on why he did so.

Warning: none... really.

oh look, Chan is in here, too. i’m sure you know who my bias is? lol and this is one with Baby Changbin!! lol happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~

revised. 9.10.20

"Hey, I need your help." Changbin asked his older sister as he barged into her room without knocking.

"Can you knock first?" Chaeyeon asked instead as she looked up from her textbooks from her bed. "What if I was changing?"

"Not at this time. I know your schedule. You don't really do anything different."

"True."

"Besides, you need to go out and hang with friends or whatever. Go date and stuff."

"I'm fine with my single self. Thank you very much. Anyways, what do you want help with?"

"I like this girl and I want her to notice me."

"I thought your wannabe cool, dark, and edgy style already made you hella noticeable." Chaeyeon mused before returning back to her homework while still listening to her little brother.

"I am dark and edgy." Changbin stated with a pout that Chaeyeon didn't see. "And I'm also very cool."

"Says the boy that's way too cheerful and active with his friends."

"So what?"

"So because he can't sleep without his Munchlax named Gyu." Chaeyeon teased her brother once more with laugh following after.

Changbin grew flustered and counter-attacked. "Hey, you still sleep with all of your stuffed animals since childhood."

"And your point is?" Chaeyeon asked glancing up at Changbin.

"You're the same as me."

"True, but I'm actually cool, dark, and edgy unlike you."

"Shut up. Will you help me or not?"

"Why don't you just asked this girl straight out that you like her." Chaeyeon advised giving him an annoyed look as she just wanted to do homework.

"I can't do that." Changbin said as he sat at the end of her bed.

"Why not?"

"Because it isn't cool."

"Coo or not, it's better to just be straight with the person you like, y'know? Anyways, I don't know why you want my help when I don't go out and stuff."

"Because you give good advice some times and you're a girl."

"Don't you have friends that can help you with this?"

"Yeah, but they'll just make it worst. Besides, you're my older sister. You're supposed to help me with these things."

Chaeyeon rolled her eyes with a sigh while closing her book. "Fine, okay. So what's your plan?"

"Well, it's just gonna involve me being cool for her to notice me."

"And what cool thing are you thinking of to get her attention?"

"Why did I let you drag me all the way to Garosu-gil?" Chaeyeon groaned as she and Changbin were on the subway headed to the 'Designer Street' so that Changbin could coolly get the attention of his crush by doing something cool to which he still hadn't revealed to her yet.

"Because you have no life and nothing else better to do. Remember?" Changbin answered as his sister elbowed him. "Ow, well it's true."

"I don't care. I still had homework that's due later tomorrow and to  just chill and relax."

"You're smart. You'll probably finish it before class begins anyways."

"That's true."

"Also, you basically chill and relax all day, every day, anyways."

"Yeah, yeah. Enough about me and now about you. How is going to Garosu gonna help with anything? You stalking her or what?"

"What? No. No. There's no stalking involved." Changbin denied with an awkward laugh before speaking again. "The boys just mentioned they'll be here hanging out when we were playing basketball after classes and we decided to hang out there later."

"I thought you were trying to get this girl's attention. You didn't mentioned the others."

"I am. I'm gonna do both. She just happens to work at one of the boutiques in Garosu-gil."

"Uh huh. So what's her name?"

"Nayoung."

"Does she go to the same school as you?"

"We did, but I graduated. She's a year under me."

"Wait a minute. You've known of her for two years and you haven't said anything to her? That's not a crush, Changbin. That's love."

Changbin shot his sister a weird look. "Love? You're crazy, Chaeyeon. That's not love. We're too young for that."

"Yeah, I'm the crazy one who hasn't taken a few classes in psychology this year. Sure, whatever." Chaeyeon muttered to herself as she leaned against her seat and crossed her arms in boredom while looking out the window. "How much longer until we get there?"

"It should be coming up soon."

"Good, because you're buying me food."

~~~~~~~~

"How many slices of cheesecake are you going to buy?" Changbin whispered in a slightly panicked tone as he watched his sister ordered another slice to her already slices of eight and counting while they stood inside C27.

"Um, that depends." Chaeyeon said with a smirk in his direction. "How much do you got on you?"

"Not enough for your sweet-tooth. Why?"

Chaeyeon's smirked grew and Changbin began to whined. "Oh c'mon, Yeon. Don't do this to me. You're supposed to take care of me."

"I'm just kidding, Bin." Chaeyeon chuckled while patting her brother's back in comfort as she pulled out her own wallet from her bag. "Sheeh. Calm down. Anyways, save the money for your date with Miss. Nayoung when you finally confess."

"Ah, don't mess with me like that."

Chaeyeon just laughed as she paid for her slices of different cheesecake while afterwards the siblings went to one of the tables inside to wait for the desserts.

"Alright, Bin. I've ordered my food and so what's your cool idea for this Nayoung girl?"

"She works over there." Changbin motioned with his chin as Chaeyeon looked out the window at the boutique opposite them. "And what are you still doing here?"

"Because you wanted cheesecake."

"No. I just wanted to mess with you for dragging me all the way here. Plus, Jisung messaged me during the subway ride that he wanted some cheesecake."

"When doesn't he want cheesecake?" Changbin scoffed. "You treat him more like a little brother than you do me."

"That's what you think. He's just as annoying as you along with the others."

"You know you love our company in your lonely loner world."

"I choose to be alone, Changbin. There's a difference between being alone and feeling lonely."

"Aren't they basically the same?"

"No. Being alone is the state of being while feeling lonely is the state of the mind. Get it?"

"Not really."

"You'll understand when you experience the difference."

"Do I want to?"

"I hope that you don't, but it makes you aware of the things about yourself though."

Just then Chaeyeon's order arrived ready to go and she thanked the staff before she and Changbin got up and left the shop.

"Alright, Changbin. Stop bring up my oh so lonesome single life that you think you need to spice up. You go do you and here you go." Chaeyeon said as she handed her brother a smaller box similar to her bigger one.

"What's that?" Changbin asked eyeing the white container suspiciously.

"It's cheesecake, dummy. That's what you're going to give to your crush."

"I said I was going to do something cool."

"Knowing you, your ass is gonna embarrassed yourself in front of her and you'll never confessed to her after that."

"That's harsh."

"It's true, now go and give her this cake and asked her out on a date."

"But, I-"

"Go or I'm going to do it for you so I can get this done and over with."

Changbin let out a grumble although he took the small package before psyching himself.

"You got this, Changbin. You can do it. You're cool, dark, and edgy. There's no way she can turn you down without giving you a chance. You got this."

Chaeyeon took a seat at the table that was outside of C27 and watched her brother amusingly before taking out one of slices in her own larger container.

"Okay, I'm going." Changbin announced as Chaeyeon gave him a thumbs up. "Good luck."

Changbin nodded earnestly as Chaeyeon watched him finally make his way over to 3RD EYE. Just as Changbin had entered the boutique she was soon disturbed by a very particular and familiar voice.

"Yeon! My love!" Jisung announced happily and playfully as he glomped Chaeyeon into a hug. "I've missed you so much. I haven't seen you all day."

Chaeyeon tried to moved away from the younger male's embrace, but Jisung held onto her tighter with a pout.

"Why do you hate me, Yeon? Don't you love me?"

"Because you're annoying as fuck."

"Okay, rude."

Jisung made a face as he finally let her go and sat in one of the chair and went through the container.

"Did you get me the chocolate one?"

"Why don't you look."

"It's here! Thanks."

"You're not welcome."

"You know you love me."

"Right."

"Hi, guys." She warmly greeted the others.

"Hi, Yeon." Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin greeted her as she opened her arms for hugs knowing that they were going to give her one regardless if she wanted one or not before they sat down.

"Why do you accept their hugs all willingly, yet always reject me?" Jisung asked with a pout. "You're so mean to me."

"Because you're a brat and hug me all the time, anyways." Chaeyeon answered with a smirk and a roll of her eyes before looking at the others. "So did you guys come to support Changbin in his love confession, too?"

"I thought he said that he wanted to buy a new jacket." Seungmin stated with a puzzled look. "That's what he messaged in the group chat earlier."

"Oh that was me." Jeongin clarified. "Changbin owes me a new jacket."

"Why does he owe you a new jacket?" Jisung asked with a raised eyebrow while eating one of the cheesecake slices.

"Oh, was it because he accidentally spilled soda all over you the other day when we were watching horror movies?" Felix asked as Jeongin nodded. "Yup. It was one of my favorites."

"So basically my brother made up excuses to get y'all over here when he didn't even need me." Chaeyeon let out annoyed while glancing at the boys.

"Oh, cheer up, my love." Jisung stated while pinching her cheek as Chaeyeon swatted his hand away.

Jisung let out a chuckle before speaking again. "You're basically here if something goes wrong."

She side-eyed him. "What could go wrong?"

"Dunno."

"But like Jisung said, Yeon. You're here if anything does." Felix confirmed again with a laugh as Chaeyeon groaned. "Fuck my life, man."

"I'm pretty sure it's because of Minho." Hyunjin spoke a second later after going through the cheesecake slices to find the one he wanted to eat. "Minho mentioned that Nayoung would be working today and that she'll be working late, too."

"Oh, so he wanted to take her home and make his move like that?" Chaeyeon pieced together as Hyunjin shrugged. "Probably."

"Anyways, where is Minho?" Chaeyeon asked realizing he was missing from the group. "He was supposed to return my camera to me."

"Right here, my darling, Yeonnie." Minho announced as he placed Chaeyeon's camera onto the table and back-hugged her from behind. "I knew you always thought of me whenever I was never around despite you saying otherwise."

"Ew." Chaeyeon cringed as Jisung smacked Minho to let go of Chaeyeon. "Hey, hey. She was mine first."

"Well she's mine now." Minho smirked as he hugged Chaeyeon tighter while she rolled her eyes. "I'm nobody's and now let me go or no cake for you."

"Fine." He reluctantly said as he hugged her once more before letting her go.

Chaeyeon shook her head and wondered how she got dragged into being friends with her brother's friends then remembered something.

"Isn't there another addition to your group of friends that I was supposed to finally meet already?"

"Oh yeah, Chan." Minho said as he pulled a chair from another table to the table with his friends as he scooted himself in-between Seungmin and Chaeyeon. "He was going to join us, but he had other plans last minute."

"Oh, I see. It's weird that he's been friends with you guys for a few years now, but he's the only one that I haven't met yet." Chaeyeon voiced out with a pensive look.

"It's because he's busy with school, work, and home life compare to the rest of us." Felix answered. "The both of you always seem to have plans whenever we all try to hang out and what not."

Chaeyeon narrowed her eyes at him before sweeping it over the others. "It's because you guys have plans that always involved me without my permission."

"You have a very dull life anyways, Yeon." Jeongin stated with a goofy smile as Chaeyeon looked over at him with a frown. "You're supposed to be on my side, Jeongin."

"True, but I'm closer with Changbin than you."

"Obviously." Chaeyeon muttered the last part as she released a deep breath while picking up her camera. "No alone time for me again today."

"What was that?" Jisung asked upon hearing something as Chaeyeon shook her head. "Nothing."

 "So Changbin's doing it for real this time?" Minho asked upon realizing his friend wasn't around a few minutes later.

"That's what Yeon said." Seungmin answered. "I thought we were here for clothes."

"He might go clothes shopping since it looked like it didn't work since he came out looking sad." Felix added a second later.

"Wait, what?" Chaeyeon looked up from going through her camera towards Seungmin. "Bin already came out?"

"Yeah. Like a few seconds ago." Felix confirmed. "He threw the white box he was holding on to the ground, too."

Chaeyeon followed Felix's hand and saw the small container she had given her brother before he went inside 3RD EYE.

"Oh, he did not. That was the feature flavor this month.

"Changbin wasted good cheesecake?!" Jisung gasped. "How cruel."

"Just eat your cake, Jisung." Chaeyeon told him before looking at the others. "Where did Bin go?"

"That way." Seungmin said as he pointed in the direction that Changbin had ran off to.

Chaeyeon set her camera on the table and got up to go look for him.

"I can't believe she'll leave her cake here for us to eat." Hyunjin commented while still eating the one he grabbed earlier as Jisung agreed with a grin. "And that is why her food always gets stolen fair and square."

"True." Minho agreed as he lifted one of the slices out of the container. "But then again she always blames you."

"I know and it's usually always you."

"I know."

"Rude."

"Shouldn't we have mentioned that Nayoung already ran after Changbin?" Jeongin asked a second later while looking at the the others.

"Nah." The older four replied.

Felix tilted his head in thought. "I think we should though. Don't you guys think so?"

"Nope. We're not gonna join in that mess." Hyunjin commented before bringing out the rest of the cheesecake pieces. "Let's just eat and wait for the aftermath."

"Oh, is this also part of the other plan to get Yeon a date with Chan?" Seungmin asked a second later remembering the talks from weeks ago.

"Yeah." The others answered with mischievous looks.

~~~~~~~~

Chaeyeon quickly walked around with her head swinging left and right to try and spot her brother among the others, but couldn't see him.

"OMG, he's not that hard to spot, but when I'm actually looking for his dumbass I can't find him at all. Dafaq is this shit." Chaeyeon grumbled to herself as she moved about quickly with worried steps.

"When I find you, Seo Changbin, I'ma beat your ass first for wasting my time. Then beat it a second time for wasting a perfectly good slice of cheesecake." Chaeyeon muttered the threat against her brother. "And then I'll ask you what happened afterwards."

Just when Chaeyeon was about to give up she suddenly spotted Changbin a few meters away just chilling alone by a ginkgo tree. She let out a relieved breath upon seeing he was still okay and not hurting himself or doing something stupid.

"Bin! Binnie! Changbin!" Chaeyeon called out as she saw him lift his head to see who had called by his various names.

Before she could wave to get his attention she was suddenly pulled to the side and away from his direct line of sight.

Changbin looked around and saw someone else instead as he thought it was his sister's voice that he had heard calling his name.

"N-Nayoung?" Changbin stuttered before internally scolding himself for stuttering.

"Hi, Changbin." Nayoung shyly smiled at him. "I'm sorry if something happened at 3RD EYE to make you run off like that."

"What? Run off? Nothing happened to make me do something like that." Changbin casually said while dismissing the topic and went to coolly lean a hand against the ginkgo tree, but missed and later caught himself to right himself.

Nayoung giggled and Changbin once again internally scolded himself for making a fool of himself. He agreed with his sister. He is embarrassing himself, but he tried to save face by directing the topic elsewhere.

"Aren't you still supposed to be working?"

"Yeah, well I got off early thanks to Ayeon and Nakjoon who understood my situation at hand."

"What situation?"

"Well, not really a situation that's like bad or anything. It's just that I don't know if you know, but Chan and I are j-"

Changbin interrupted her already knowing what she was going to say.

"Yeah, I know. The both of you are dating."

Nayoung shook her head with a laugh as Changbin eyed her.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because you actually think I'm dating my neighbor who I practically grew up with and see him like an annoying older brother." Nayoung stated as she let out another chuckle. "That's why I'm laughing, Changbin."

"Wait. Chan isn't your boyfriend?" Changbin asked while removing the hand that held him against the tree before falling back against it harshly.

Changbin pushed himself up right as Nayoung nodded.

"So, you don't like Chan?" Changbin asked next with Nayoung nodding again.

"Do you perhaps like someone else?"

"Mmhmm." Nayoung hummed with an amused smile.

"Who?" Changbin asked clueless as Nayoung laughed at his cuteness before answering. "You."

"I knew you like Hyunjin since the first time he offered that piece of sushi to you two years ago during the opening ceremony." Changbin stated without realizing what Nayoung had said. "I knew it."

Nayoung raised an amused eyebrow at his reaction before Changbin recalled what she had actually said.

"Wait a minute. Me? You actually like me? Did you actually say that?"

"Yeah. I've liked you since the day I saw you performing at the talent show with Felix and Minho. I didn't know you could sing and rap like that."

"But you didn't even say anything to me that day. You just praised Felix and Minho!"

"Uh, I didn't even know you that well to praised you in a special manner. I still congratulated you guys for doing a good job even though you guys didn't win."

"You didn't even hug me."

"Because I didn't know you that well and it wasn't like you opened your arms for a hug anyways."

"I was shy and nervous."

"Oh. I thought it was because you were keeping up with your whole cool, dark, and edgy facade." Nayoung said with a smirk.

"You knew?"

"Yeah."

Changbin smiled before realizing what Nayoung had said.

"Wait a minute. It's not a facade."

"I mean to each their own, but you're still cool either way." Nayoung said with a smile.

"I wish you would tell that to my sister. She thinks I'm uncool."

"Well, the way you speak about her some times does make her a lot more cooler than you."

"That doesn't help me right now."

Nayoung laughed before suppressing the laughter upon seeing Changbin's pout.

"Sorry, sorry. It's just that I think that's normal between siblings and those that have grown up closely with one another because Chan calls me cute when I do normal things and pats my head like I'm some sort of pet a majority of the time. He's a mess."

"You're right though. Chan is a mess."

"That's why he needs to get out and meet someone like your sister."

"I don't know, Nayoung. This was like killing two birds with one stone. Plus, Yeon isn't really a people person until she becomes comfortabe with it in the end because she doesn't really have a choice and just goes with the flow."

"Yeah, Changbin. She's definitely sounds way cooler than you and I haven't even met her yet."

"I don't even know how to respond to that, but speaking of Chaeyeon I totally forgot about her. I basically ditched her with the others." Changbin admitted before realizing about what he had done earlier with widened eyes. "Oh shit. I hope she didn't see me throw away the slice of cheesecake she wanted me to give to you to ask you out."

"Oh? You were gonna asked me out?" Nayoung asked making sure she heard right even though she already knew. "And with cheesecake?"

"Uh, yeah, well, yes." Changbin finally said with a sheepish look. "I was gonna do it in a cool way, but I saw you and Chan hugging and got upset."

"Like I said earlier, Chan and I are just neighbors. Also he was hugging me for kinda setting him up with someone cool like your sister."

"Wait. I wanted to ask you out on top of trying to set my sister up with Chan, but yet you knew that, too. How?"

"Minho told me."

"Ugh. That guy was playing matchmaker behind my back."

"I'm glad because now we both know how we feel about one another. Also Chan can finally leave me alone."

"Yeah, well I wondered what my sister will do to me and the others when she finds out the truth."

"Well, we have some time until then. For now that, I have nothing planned after this and Chan seemed to have disappeared so do you wanna hang out?"

"Like in as a date kind of hang out?"

"Yeah if you're down?"

"Oh, hell yeah. I mean, yeah sure. What do you wanna do?"

"I'm starving so do you wanna go to Serosu-gil and eat around there?"

"Yes that's perfect! Let's go!" Changbin exclaimed happily while offering his hand for Nayoung to take to which she did.

"Gotcha, but I'll have to be home before eleven though or Chan will beat your ass." She told him.

"Why would he beat my ass? We're like best friends."

"He still sees me as his litter sister despite you being his friend, so I rank higher than you."

Changbin let out a heavy sigh. "I wonder if this will change anything between us."

"Let's just go get something to eat and deal with that later." Nayoung suggested before pulling his hand to urge him on.

"So is this an official date then?" Changbin asked to clarify once they started moving as Nayoung nodded with a chuckle. "Yes, Changbin. It's a date. Now let's go. I wanna get there before it gets crowded."

Nayoung pulled him again towards the area of Serosu-gil with Changbin smiling happily at the outcome of today.

~~~~~~~~

Chaeyeon looked to her left to see who had pulled her over and saw a guy around her age with his hand on her forearm. Unaware that this was the Chan that she was supposed to meet, the neighbor of Nayoung, and set up on a date unaware of that fact. Shaking his hold off of her Chaeyeon backed away from the male and gave him a once over with a weird look.

"Um, can I help you with something?"

"Yeah, you can." Chan smiled at her. "Can you not go and bother those two over there."

Chan pointed in the direction of Nayoung and Changbin while Chaeyeon cast him another weird look.

"Bother who? I'm just looking for my brother so I don't know why you pulled along with you."

"Yeah sorry about that, but you're looking for your brother?"

"Yeah. I spotted him, but then you pulled me away. He's probably beating himself up for not confessing to his crush."

"Oh!" Chan exclaimed brightly with an even brighter smile. "Are you Seo Chaeyeon?"

"Depends on who's asking." Chaeyeon replied although she continued to give Chan weird looks. "Who are you?"

"I'm Bang Chan."

"Banchan? Your parents really named you side dishes?" Chaeyeon asked with a suppressed chuckled.

"No. It's Bang and Chan. Bang Chan." He enunciated as Chaeyeon gave him an OK sign. "Ah, I see. Okay, gotcha, but yeah I'm Seo Chaeyeon."

Then something clicked in her head.

"Oh, you're a friend of Changbin's aren't you? The oh so famous Chan that I haven't gotten to meet yet, right?"

"The one and only." Chan beamed happily as Chaeyeon was wary of his happy demeanor. "Um, yeah, right."

The two stood there in silence before Chaeyeon realized she was supposed to search for her brother.

"Did you know that he was gonna ask about the Nayoung girl?" She asked Chan.

"Yes." He answered. "Nayoung's my neighbor and because these two need to work out their situation and finally confess to one another that they like each other."

"Oh, I see." Chaeyeon sighed in tiredness. "I seriously was not needed for this."

She then looked over at Chan who still had a polite smile on his face. "Anyways, it was nice meeting you, Bang Chan. Also seeing that you don't need to help those two any longer the other seven are hanging outside C27 and probably ate all of my cheesecakes by now. You can join them."

"You're already leaving?" Chan's smiled dimmed once he spoke those words.

"Uh, yeah, but it's okay. You got the other boys to keep you company." Chaeyeon smiled at him. "I still have homework to do and knowing Changbin and if this went well, he probably went on his date with Nayoung so the he won't bother with the others."

"This wasn't how it was supposed to turned out like."

"What wasn't?"

"Oh, um, just that I was wondering if you wanted to do something with me instead."

"What do you mean by do something with you? Don't you have the boys to go and hang out with?"

"Well, true, but I'm not doing anything and you're not doing anything so-"

Chaeyeon interrupted him with an amused smile. "I don't know if you heard me say it earlier, but I was gonna go back home and do homework."

"Oh, I did." Chan caught her smile and returned one of his own. "You were gonna go back, but you're not doing anything at this very moment."

"Ah, I see. Is this another one of Changbin's set up to get me to meet you and so we can date, too?"

"No, not his idea, but Nayoung's been trying to tell me to go on dates so that I can stop bothering her and she said you sounded very cool."

"Oh did she?" Chaeyeon chuckled. "The girl's never met me yet she thinks I'm cool?"

"Highly so."

"Is this your usual way of asking girls out on dates then?"

"No, but is it working?"

Chaeyeon laughed. "Sort of, but since we've just met and I'm not sure if you're gonna turn out like the others, I guess we can do something."

"What do you mean by turn out like the others?"

"It's nothing, but I have a feeling that I will regret this later or something."

"Let's see if your feelings will turn out like what you're thinking then."

Before Chaeyeon could confirm anything with Chan she received a notification and checked her phone. She rolled her eyes upon reading the words that her brother had just sent her.

"Anything important?" Chan asked upon seeing her eye-rolls.

"Changbin said he's on a date and that I should be hanging out with his friend name, Bang Chan."

"Ohh, that sounds like a nice suggestion. What are you gonna do?"

"Well," Chaeyeon stalled while putting her phone away with her mind already made up, "I would rather go home, but since you don't seem that annoying or weird as the others at this very moment I guess you and I can go do something."

"Great! Because Changbin's told me that you wanted to check out this arcade and I so happened to wanna check it out, too."

Chaeyeon gave him a narrowed look. "Are you a stalker?"

"No." Chan laughed as he waved a hand in front of him to dismissed the notion. "I'm not a stalker."

"Are you sure? Should I even be asking that? I think I need to leave area."

Chaeyeon mused while backing up as Chan reached out a hand to stop her, but didn't do so once he realized what he was about to do. Chaeyeon stopped and shot him an amused look.

"Um, sorry, but I didn't want you to go." Chan admitted with an embarrassed laugh. "Anyways, Changbin likes talking about you and I feel like we'll get along well."

Chaeyeon's jaw dropped as she made a face. "That brat talks about me to you guys?"

"Usually they're good things."

"And the other times?"

"Um, that you'll have to ask him about yourself." Chan chuckled sheepishly before pointing towards the subway station. "So to District 9 then?"

"Sure, but don't cry if you lose to me in the games."

"What? Bold of you to assume that I'll cry over arcade games."

"Yes, yes it is, but I have a feeling that I'll actually have a worthy opponent to go up against finally."

"Again, bold of you to assume that I'm actually good at arcade games."

"You know what, Bang Chan, loser pays for dinner then."

"Oh, we're getting dinner after this? Is this a date, Seo Chaeyeon?"

"Bold of you to assume that it's a date, Bang Chan." Chaeyeon said with a proud look before Chan countered her words with a smirk. "Then is it too bold of me to assume that I'll get your number afterwards?"

"Whatever. Hurry up before I leave you behind and go by myself and then you don't get anything and I return back to my life with a bunch of idiots bothering me."

Chaeyeon said before rushing off with Chan tagging alongside her while smiling all giddily at her sudden flustered reaction.

OK OK OK HEAR ME OUT!!! HEAR ME OUT!!! all the BRC crews, but like, they're slashers/murderers, and the BRC crew is basically the main cast y'know???? I feel like solace should be the final girl

This is gonna be a fun one! I like horror stuff, but admittedly with slashers I tend to just read about them, since seeing the gory stuff makes me ill. ^^;

Still! Even just reading about a lot of these kinds of movies gives a lot of ideas, so I'm working off of that!

Also sorry I’m posting this the next day! I finished this yesterday, but I wanted to proofread it first and got too sleepy to finish it last night. ^^;

So with BRC as the main cast (I’m assuming just the original 5? Tryce, Bel, Felix, Vinyl, and Solace), horror movie logic dictates that usually the comedy relief character dies first. Then again I have no idea if that’s still a thing in horror movies these days. :u

But anyways, I feel the character who probably fits that role is either Felix or Solace. Because, Felix gives me the impression of a chill guy who cracks jokes every now and then. And Solace is Solace, the comedy is mostly in his bad luck and/or his status as a Sad Wet Blorbo, lol

imo Solace’s bad luck could actually work in his favor, basically him bumbling/tripping/etc. while avoiding death in more and more ridiculous ways as the movie goes on. To the point where he just happens to be the Final Girl!

But if we go with “comedy relief character dies first” and Solace gets that role, then I nominate Vinyl as the Final Girl. I feel like she’d be great as the Final Girl and actually manage to finish off the villain!

I guess the rest of the non-rival BRC members (Rave, Mesh, Shine, Rise, and Coil) get to be the background characters that get killed off along the way. Or otherwise they manage to escape just in time, but don't play much of a role in stopping the villain in the end. Whoops, sorry guys. D:

So with the main cast established, let’s move on to the crews! I’m gonna be predictable and start off with Devil Theory, specifically with my OCs. *u*

Daishō is a lover of horror media, so he goes all in on being a slasher movie villain! Serial killer who recreates elaborate deaths from his favorite horror movies!! Also involves plenty of knives and butcher themes, maybe.

Sai and Nunchaku tag along as minions, also a bit of a “If we didn’t help him, he might end up worse” kind of way. Cool motive, still murder though. Going by a horror movie structure, they’d get killed off before the main cast (or what’s left of them at that point) can take down Daishō directly.

Bō stays out of this whole mess because he hates horror stuff, especially gory stuff. He might play the role of someone warning the main cast to leave before it’s too late… before getting killed off by Daishō as a “traitor”. Yikes. D:

Now for DOT EXE... probably stuff involving hijacking robots and machines? Like that big incident in the mall in the Child’s Play remake from 2019. All the electronics go haywire and kill people, oh no!!

For my versions of the crew, Twoson and Fourside in particular would go all in on being evil serial killers like this. Like with Daishō, they’re big horror media nerds. Also they both probably kill off the other DOT EXE members when/if they try to get in the duo’s way too. I just can’t imagine the other members being okay with this, like how Sai and Nunchaku are okay with going along with Daishō’s plan. :o

With the Franks, maybe something like the Prince tricking people into thinking they’re getting life-saving surgeries free-of-charge... but then just harvesting them for organs and spare body parts for some experiments the Prince is carrying out. Or otherwise just sending out the Franks to kidnap people for “surgery”. I guess something like the doctor from the Mad Father game, just without the “turn people into dolls” obsession… or maybe have something like that too?! Or otherwise it’s just experiments to improve his skills and eventually advance humanity overall.

He insists he’s doing it for the good of humanity, but, y’know, he’s still tricking and killing people in the process. The Franks here are his minions, made from the body parts of former victims, and like I said being sent out to find more "test subjects".

So then for Eclipse, uhhhh, make them witches I guess?? Has there ever been a slasher with a witch as the villain? Gory magic! Surely there’s been at least one movie with that kind of idea.

Or if not that, then serial killers who leave astrology-themed “clues” at their murders, but really the clues are just to lure in more victims. Heck, combine the two! Why the hell not. Either way, they mostly target men who are genuinely heinous people, especially those who managed to escape punishment/jail time/etc. Basically a “the villain has a point though” kind of thing.

Sometimes they mess up and target a man who turned out to be completely innocent, or even the wrong guy entirely, but they don’t see it as a big deal. You could take this as a “He probably would have done something bad sooner or later anyways” thing, or otherwise “Well, you can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. Or heads in this case.”

And now finally, FUTURISM! I’m thinking psychological horror mixed with slasher stuff! DJ Cyber and his crew basically messing with people before killing them off, stalking them for weeks or even months to get a good idea of their personality, background, etc. and then use it against them.

Maybe even go Saw with it, elaborate traps where they have to earn their survival or literally die trying! If we go with Solace surviving just on his weird luck alone, I can imagine some genuinely hilarious ways he can narrowly avoid death in this situation, lol

I think that’s about it for my ideas on this topic! This was a fun one to think over, thank you for sending this in. :D
