OK TUMBLR WONT LET ME EDIT MY DRAFTS SO IM ANSWERING TWO ASKS FROM @reterols (thank you for your kind words I have read them and I also stalk your blog on a regular basis because sometimes being a Zanus shipper feels like you and me screaming about these two into an echo chamber)

A zanus headcanon(s) that make u giggle bc it's just stupid/irrelevant but it's definitely canon.

This one will be glorified story beats for a Very Specific Moment of backstory that I have thought of for actual months but cannot figure out a way to include in my story outline aside from minor references. Idk how fluffy/cute/stupid it is because they're always a little bit Deranged whenever i write those two, but im doing my best. It also gives me a prime chance to ramble about how the position of Silver Death actually works in my rewrite!!

Also this is really long so I'm putting it under a cut because I feel bad

Janus was 22 when Zane took the position of High Priest to the Church of the Divine, and a few months afterward, he asked them to join the Jury

However, Janus wasn't exactly content with just joining the Jury under any position, because, well, that would be some pretty obvious nepotism, even in O'Khasis

So, to prevent this from being an issue, they decided they were going to become the Silver Death

Many had tried to become the Silver Death since the death of the last one 17 years ago, and all of them had failed

This is because in order to become the Silver Death, you must hold a cursed object known as the Donmai that once belonged to Xavier himself

The Donmai is very dangerous, and if not handled by someone with utter devotion to something, it can cause insanity or even kill the attempted wielder. If the person trying to attain it's blessing is insincere, or not completely devoted and dedicated to whatever they are holding in their mind, they will go insane and/or die

Janus wasn't worried, they knew what was driving them forward in life, and the only thing that was giving them purpose

Zane was not so sure. He did believe that they cared for him and would defend and protect him with their life (they'd proven it several times over at that point) but he also knew that the Donmai had a super high bar to pass, and even the slightest waver in your resolve would lead to insanity

But they insisted, and if Zane figured that if couldn't trust Janus, who could he really trust at that point?

They prepared for the ceremony, and the people took to the streets to either watch the selection of a new Silver Death (hasn't happened for over 30 years) or watch another idiot die in a desperate bid for power (entertaining!)

The Donmai was brought out in it's elaborate protective case, everyone else wearing thick gloves and protective gear to let them handle it

Some people were praying to Irene or Eamonn or even Xavier for this to not go as horrifically wrong as all the previous ceremonies, the tension in the air was thick and nobody seemed to believe they could do it

Janus did feel scared at that point, they had never feared death before, but they didn't want to die like this, in a ceremony. They had always imagined their own death on the battlefield, or some form of combat

The time had almost arrived, and it was in front of them, just within arms reach. It didn't look particularly dangerous, but they knew better.

A tradition that took place just before the attempt to attain the Donmai's favor was for the High Priest to whisper an inaudible short prayer to whoever was attempting to complete the ceremony, they mutually agreed it would be a prayer to Xavier beforehand

But, when Zane leaned in to whisper the prayer, the words failed him. He couldn't think properly, so, instead, he said

“Don't let it take you from me, I still need you.”

And he pulled away, leaving their heart racing in their chest. All thoughts of fear or doubt vanished from their mind, all thoughts of anything but the man in front of them vanished. That was why they existed - they were for him, and they were going to prove it

So they took hold of the Donmai with obsessive focus, and their flesh burned at the contact with the cursed metal, but Janus hardly noticed compared to their own emotions and their heart racing

Holding the Donmai was unlike any experience they had ever had, it was like their whole body ached and burned and froze all at once, their good eye blurred with involuntary tears. The cursed object seemed to be demanding something of them, a reason it should let them live

And those words echoed in their mind - that Zane needed them. That was all the reason they needed for anything, that their life may as well be his, and they didn't get to die until he saw fit. That they were his, so, really, any pain didn't seem all that bad compared to the joy it gave them to have that privilege.

Suddenly, the pain stopped. And it was done. And they were alive, sane, and successful.

The people of O'Khasis cheered their name, the crowd in near hysterics at the blessing, thanking Irene, thanking the Divine, thanking Xavier

And Janus the Silver Death looked at Zane, and not even the mask he wore could disguise his joy

The end. Ta da. I should probably turn this into a one-shot but I have no motivation soooo

can't believe i almost missed wip wednesday!!

have a little wizard x paladin/sorcerer as a treat ♡

pairing: gale dekarios x non-binary OC (Janus)

warnings: 18+. nsft. mdni. lightning magic & smut, what could be better?

word count: 328

♡ janus is a half-elf dhampir, and uses they/them ♡

As Janus ground up against him, they could feel Gale's fingers tense against their back, nails digging into flesh and clawing between their shoulder blades. It had them twitching, arching for him while air whistled through their clenched teeth. So godsdamned close. They couldn't ignore the crackling over their skin, just on the edge of painful. They bucked, but his weight in their lap was heavy, grounding. He pressed closer, and they could hear the smile in his voice when he whispered against their ear.

"Not just yet. I want to see how much more you can take." Janus nodded, letting out a breath through their nose. Controlled bursts of sparks danced down either side of their spine, and they were gasping into the wizard's neck. A full palm landed between their shoulders and their eyes flew open, their breaths mixed with quiet pleas and whispers of the man's name. They were aching inside of him, but he remained still in their lap. Finally, a single finger trailed up their spine, bolts jumping down each vertebrate in its wake. Too much. Janus grunted in their effort as they lay Gale gently to his back in the mess of blankets, pulling his thigh over their hip in their daze and driving their own forward almost lazily. The wizard laughed softly through a heavy breath, pushing one hand into their hair and pulling tight. The other remained at the dip in their back, and the pulses from his palm closed in on the unbearable.

"Don't… stop…" the half-elf slurred, oblivious to the drag of their fangs over their bottom lip, and the twinge of pain it brought. They could have bitten their own tongue off, and it wouldn't have mattered. Their hand came up to fist in the blanket, and it was too late. The strained moans rose from their chest as violently as a tempest, and they cracked as a felled tree would under the calculated touch. Then, peace.

JANUS DESCENDING - #BIPOCtober Day 7

Janus Descending is a limited series, science fiction/horror audio drama told through single perspective narration.

The story follows the arrival of two xenoarcheologists, Peter and Chel, on a small world orbiting a binary star. But what starts off as an expedition to survey the planet and the remains of a lost alien civilization, turns into a monstrous game of cat and mouse, as the two scientists are left to face the creatures that killed the planet in the first place. Told from alternating perspectives, Janus Descending is an experience of crossing timelines, as Peter describes the nightmare from end to beginning, and Chel, from beginning to the end.

If you wanna give an award-winning limited horror sci-fi series a listen from a Black writer-director with some non-linear storytelling and fantastic sfx, check it out! As usual, main site's linked in the replies, but it's also got its own official Wiki page ;)

Over The Rainbow (4/4) - Janus

Notes:

Sorry this has taken me so long!! I lost motivation to work on this for a while, especially with so many other projects going on in the background :(.

I know that I origonally marked this as five chapters, but I honestly don't remember what I planned for the fifth chapter to be and have no ideas for it, so I've marked it as complete after this one - if I ever do write another chapter I'll add it, but right now it's complete as is.

----

“Hey fuckers listen up,” Remus yelled, banging open the door of Roman and his shared room, making just about everyone who had been in there jump. 

“What the fuck was that for?” Virgil hissed, rubbing the back of their head where they’d bumped it on the headboard of Roman’s bed.

“Language!” Patton chastised from his spot in Roman’s lap at the other end of the bed - he’d been braiding Roman’s hair idly. Logan just sighed from where he sat at the desk. 

“Whatever, there’s this huge party the Pride Society is putting on over the weekend and you guys are going,” Remus said, slamming a flyer down in front of Logan, who picked it up tentatively. 

“Why would we go?” Logan asked, raising an eyebrow, “I don’t believe any of us are really ‘party people’”

“It’s not just about the party, book-germ, it’s about gay shit! And you guys are like! The gayest shit around,” Remus rolled his eyes, “Not only are you all super gay, Virgil and Pat are non-binary and Roro is the most gender non-conforming bitchass hoe I’ve ever seen, so like, you guys should totally go to the pride party, besides, I’m going with a friend and I want you idiots to meet.”

“...oookay?” Roman said, frowning, “I don’t mind going to a cool pride party if you guys don't?”

“Oh sure!” Patton grinned, “It sounds like fun!”

“Here is the flyer, if you would all like to read it,” Logan said, leaning over to pass the piece of paper to Patton, “I’m not interested in drinking, but attending the party itself will not hurt anyone, though it is black tie, does everyone have suitable outfits?”

Virgil groaned dramatically, “Fine if the rest of you are all so interested in going, I guess I’ll tag along, I’ve… got something.”

“Translation for those who don’t speak introvert,  ‘I really want to go but didn’t want to be by myself so I’d love to go with you all’,” Remus crowed, giggling as Virgil shot him a dirty look from across the room, “Now I just gotta convince my friend to go with me! C’y’all at the party!”

With that, Remus ran from the room. Logan sighed.

“My goodness, what have we just signed ourselves up for?”

—

“How do I look, everyone?” Roman asked, twirling around in his sparkly red knee-length dress, sparkling similarly to his matching red stilettos. 

“Roman, those shoes do not look safe.” Logan sighed from where he stood near the door in a pristine navy blue button down shirt - adorned with a rainbow tie. 

“I’ll be fine,” Roman rolled his eyes, the puffy sleeves of the dress floating around his wrists as he gestured, “I’ve worn them plenty of times before - Oh! Patton! You look simply dashing!”

Patton giggled, ducking their head to hide their blush as they stepped out from behind the door wearing pale blue suspenders over a white blouse - the plaid blue skirt they had hesitantly chosen looked adorable on them. 

“Thanks Roman! I love your dress!” Patton gasped, “You look so pretty! You too Logan!”

Now it was Roman’s turn to blush, “Wny thank you!” 

“Have either of you heard from Virgil?” Logan asked, once they’d finished gushing over each other’s outfits, Roman couldn’t help but frown. 

Patton shook their head, “Oh- I actually haven’t, that’s… worrying.”

“Do you think they chickened out?” Roman asked.

“That’s not a nice way to phrase it,” Logan chastised gently, “But I do worry that they got anxious.”

Just as they started to thorise on what they could do to get Virgil to come, there was a knock on Roman’s door. Roman rushed to open it and then gasped as he stepped back to reveal Virgil at the door. Their white hair was done up and secured with a silver pin, they wore a dark purple suit jacket and dress pants with a white blouse underneath and they even carried a different cane than the one they normally had. Not to mention the makeup they wore was immaculate. 

“Oh darling, you look beautiful!” Roman said, rushing forward to kiss Virgil, who grinned as they used the red lipstick Roman had left on their lips to colour them - and just that moment Roman realised they’d not been wearing lipstick before, he gasped, “You! You fiend! Using my kisses like that!”

Virgil smirked at him and stepped past Roman into the room. Patton rushed forwards next and wrapped their arms around Virgil carefully, “You look lovely! We were starting to think you weren’t coming!”

“Sorry,” Virgil chuckled, looking a little bashful, “I was struggling to shrug off my roommate.”

“Well I daresay you look wonderful,” Logan said, patting Virgil’s shoulder, “Would this make us ready to head out?”

—-

The party wasn’t a big collage party like the ones hosted by students. It was hosted by the Pride Society, which meant it was hosted on campus with slightly less alcohol and deafening music involved. Which, honestly, might be a little better with their little group - with Logan and Virgil who got overwhelmed with loud noises and tight environments and Patton, who wasn’t a fan of drinking. It was more ‘chill’ - said Logan, pulling a flashcard out of his shirt pocket - and Roman was fine with that. 

The music was decent and they had a buffet and everyone here was either queer or an ally - many people had come along with their soulmates like their little group though they had ended up a little in the spotlight. A group of four soulmates was fairly rare, after all. 

“I wonder where Remus is?” Patton said as they guided their group towards an empty table near the buffet. 

“Who knows, honestly,” Roman rolls his eyes.

“I do not see him, it is likely he hasn’t arrived yet.” Logan pointed out.

“Maybe he’s having trouble with that friend?” Virgil suggested, leaning their cane up against the table before looking around at the others. 

“Oh yeah, maybe,” Roman said, looking around the room - they had gotten here just a short while after the start time - so the room hadn’t really filled up yet anyway, “He said he had to convince them, right?”

“Mhm - they’re likely not here yet, we should give it time,” Logan told them, “Meanwhile, shall we gather food from the buffet?”

“Oh sure, I’m kinda hungry,” Roman nodded, the others nodded.

“I’ll look after the table,” Virgil said, “Um - you know what kind of stuff I like, Ro, just grab me a plate.”

“I’ll stay here with Virge!” Patton smiled, clearing not wanting to leave their fourth soulmate alone, Logan nodded.

“In that case, Roman and I shall grab food for the both of you as well.” Logan said, leaning over to kiss Patton’s cheek before getting up and heading over to the buffet with Roman.

The two at the table were quickly joined by Remus, though Roman noted that his friend did not seem to be present. He paid that no mind, however, working on collecting plates of food for himself and Virgil. That was until he bumped into someone.  

“Oh - sorry, I-” Roman said, looking up to meet the person’s eyes only to stop short, “...yellow,” he whispered.

“Excuse me?” The person said, one of their eyes was a misty yellow, the other was green, which must have been cancelled out by Logan’s, they seemed to look him over, his expression unreadable, “You - Oh- oh wow.”

“You’re yellow,” Roman said. If his hands weren’t full with the plates he was holding, “The others will be so excited! Oh my goodness, come on-”

“Will you let me grab some food first,” The person said, raising an eyebrow - the smile on his face suggested a tease, though, Roman couldn’t help but blush.

“Right, of course - sorry, sorry - just got excited,” He chuckles awkwardly. 

“Your dress is gorgeous,” The person said, to make conversation.

Once more smiling, Roman looked them over, “So is yours, yellow is such a beautiful colour.”

“What’s your name?” he asked with interest in his tone. Roman had to tear his eyes away from the knee length yellow dress the person was wearing with a black turtleneck underneath - they looked beautiful. Their face was half taken up by a large birthmark and his blond hair was tied back elegantly under a hat tied with a yellow ribbon. 

“Oh- I- Uh- Roman,” he said, now he was definitely blushing, “It’s Roman, what about you?”

“My name is Janus,” He said with a smile and slight tilt of his head that made Roman feel just a little weak in the knees, “It’s lovely to meet you.”

“Lovely to- lovely to meet you too!” Roman practically squeaked, “Um - the others, uh, everyone else is over there,” 

He pointed to their table, where Logan had returned and joined the conversation, “With my brother.”

“Remus, I know,” Janus smiled, “He brought me here - said he had a surprise for me, I suppose that was you, hm?”

“I- I guess?” Roman said, every ounce of verbal ability leaving him in the face of such a tone. 

“Well then what a lovely surprise it was,” Janus hummed, “Here, let me help you with that.”

Janus took the drink Roman had poured for Virgil in their free hand and let him lead the way back to their table. He was glad they had grabbed one of the bigger ones in the room now. 

 “Heya Roman! Who’s this?” Patton asked, looking up when Roman returned to the table with Janus in tow, they seemed to have switched mid sentence from where they had been talking to Logan, leaving him looking confused.

“This is Janus, and uh- I’m pretty sure he’s our last soulmate,” Roman said, returning to his seat next to Virgil and letting Janus take the one at the head of the table next to him. 

Janus sat and looked around at everyone, earning a range of gasps and ‘oh’s from all three of them as their eyes met.

“See?” Remus said, grinning from the other end of the table, “Told you this party was worth going to.”

Yeah, Roman thought as he looked around the table - seeing Janus start up a conversation with Logan and Patton whilst Virgil watched with interest. He was glad they had come to this party. Roman was so happy to have all of his soulmates with him at last. 

That didn’t mean that Remus wasn’t going to get an earful from him for hiding this from them for however long he and Janus had been friends, though. 

For now, he really just wanted to enjoy this party and get to know his new soulmate. Maybe afterwards they could all go back to Logan’s dorm and cuddle, or hang out at his if they wanted to deal with Remus. Roman just wanted to spend time with them - all of them, now that he could finally see the full rainbow. 

He could finally finish the painting he had been working on this whole time. 

The painting of all five of them, dressed up in their colour, the painting that represented his soul and all of theirs, a painting for them all to share and be part of. The painting of Roman’s life. 

It would be perfect.

[specialagentartemis]

Having listened to the Graphic Audio full-cast audobook for All Systems Red, it was fun but I have some thoughts about the voice acting and direction. So now I’m just daydreaming about “if I had Billionaire Money I would buy the audio rights to TMBD and direct and produce another full cast audio version with voice actors handpicked and paid lavishly by Me.”

The cast being:

All Systems Red:

Murderbot: Kevin R. Free is the voice of Murderbot to a lot of people. I would think very hard about this but it would be a foundational return to form. However I feel like I want to reach out and find a non-binary VA because it's a niche that's been tragically underrepresented in Murderbot VAs. I joked before about Vico Ortiz playing live-action Murderbot but do they want to try their hand at voice acting?

Mensah: Cecilia Lynn-Jacobs. Voices Captain Lovelace on Wolf 359. Has incredible talent and range and does the Intrepid Galactic Explorer so well.

Pin-Lee: Emily Woo Zeller. An audiobook narrator I've consistently liked.

Ratthi: Stephen Dookie. He plays the part of Polites in Epic: The Musical and he's excellent in a very sweet, upbeat, friendly way.

Gurathin: Sungwon "ProZD" Cho. I'm picturing somewhere in the range of his Miles Edgeworth voice for this.

Arada: Michelle "Vixy" Dockrey. She's a singer not a VA but her voice sounds so nice.

Overse: Tanja Milojevic. Her range is incredible.

Bharadwaj: Rukhmani Desai (Captain Tripathi, The Strange Case of Starship Iris. She has that calm, reasonable, rational, desperately kind character voice she plays well in Starship Iris that I think would go well for Bharadwaj)

Volescu: Zach Valenti. The vibes are right.

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti. Yes all of them.

Artificial Condition:

ART: Janelle Monáe and I mean it

Tapan: ItMe of InCo Podcast

The ComfortUnit: also ItMe because an important part of listening to faer acting is realizing in awe how fae voices so many characters at once and make them all sound distinct.

Tlacey: kinda thinking Ariela Rotenberg. she does smugly confidently evil very well. However we cannot discount casting ItMe for this role also

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti.

Rogue Protocol:

Don Abene: Emma Sherr-Ziarko. She also deserves to be an intrepid space leader again.

Miki: ItMe again in InCo Season 2 Updated SAWA mode

Wilken: me. I want a part. I could totally be a badass evil space assassin

Gerth: does Gerth even have any lines.

Additional voices by Tanja Milojevic and Zach Valenti.

Exit Strategy:

Serrat: Zach Libresco. this casting + Janelle Monáe as ART were what drove me to make this post in the first place.

The Combat SecUnit: Ellen McLain in GLaDOS mode. All 2 lines it has.

Network Effect:

Amena: Ishani Kanetkar (The Strange Case of Starship Iris, The Godshead Incidental, excellent VA for a proud and curious but scared young person)

Iris: Jordan Cobb (Janus Descending, Primordial Deep, excellent VA for a gritted-teeth calm scientist in a strange and dangerous place)

Seth: Avery Brooks (I know it is not the 90s anymore. but. Captain Sisko. I can imagine <3 )

Martyn: Alexander Siddig / Siddig El-Fadil (Dr. Bashir). They're TV actors but! I want them as the Ship Captain Husbands

The rest of ART's crew: other podcast VAs I love who I haven't come up with a role for yet. Kristen DiMercurio, Beth Eyre, James Oliva.

Supervisor Leonide: Claudia Christian (Commander Ivanova on Babylon 5 <333 )

Eletra: Michaela Swee who is very busy working at An Actual Hospital but I have a billion dollars in this dream scenario so I can pay her to take a day and record like 4 lines

Ras: Zach Valenti. This is very important.

Three: Jackie Andrews who plays R. J. McCabe on Starship Iris and Elinor Lopez on The Pasithea Powder has the right Vibes For This

Zach Valenti as the Additional Voice of every goon and target who gets the shit scared out of them and/or dies.

Fugitive Telemetry:

Indah: Molly Olguin maybe. she could Be Indah. Absolutely means we need Jackie Hedeman to have a role in FT too.

Tifany: Michelle Agresti (Wolf 359, Arden)

Aylen: Tracey Sayed (also Arden)

Jollybaby, Tellus, Balin: I would open the floor to the delightful Murderbot fandom. Who wants to voice a Preservation bot

Additional voices by--well you know the drill.

Me again! You said you wanted a topic so I have one. What are your thoughts on the Jury of Nine and O'kasis, especially key figures like Katelyn, Zane, Ivy, ect?

Omg thank you so much for asking!!!

The Jury of Nine is SO fascinating to me. A group of the strongest soldiers in the land led by the physically weakest link but a master manipulator. I’m curious to see how things worked on the inside but lets talk about our key figures

Katelyn the Fire Fist: WHEW. She’s got so much emotional baggage but is such a good character. She’s a strong fighter and a fantastic friend when Aphmau needs her most. I love seeing her vulnerability over time. She seems cold at first glance but shes not above opening up to Aphmau and her guards after Jefforys been killed. She strives to help those in need, but she unfortunately was dragged away from her family and stapled to the wrong crowd. I wish we saw her family in MCD and I think about them a lot.

Jeffory the Golden Heart: his story BREAKS me. He didn’t get to do many good things but he was a good person till the very end. Again, I wish I saw the dynamic between him and Katelyn since they were such good friends.

Ivy: She’s a fantastic villain. I want to analyze each word in her name. Think of Ivy like the plant Poison Ivy. It causes rashes, irritation and harm to basically anyone that even so much as brushes against it. Then venom, when it's used as an adjective- it's there to describe a hostile or bitter tone or action. The scythe is used by the grim reaper in folklore to take the soul of a dead person or someone destined to die. It makes oerfect sense for her. But I have to wonder, was she ALWAYS like that? So blood thirsty? Power hungry? What do we think?

Janus: janus is a VERY intriguing character to me. I don’t know all that much about them but I’m pretty sure they’re the first non-binary (he/they) character. The whole arc with Ivy having his sword was incredibly thought provoking for me, but I don’t have much else to add.

Lastly, I’m gonna touch on Zane: like I said, I think he’s probably the weakest in the Jury. BUT, he’s an incredibly smart manipulator. Him being a son of Gartes definitely helped him. He was born psychotic and never strayed from his path. I wonder how Zianna felt about his involvement in the Jury.

Sorry my analysis’ were lackluster this time! It’s finals season so I’m very tired but I really enjoyed thinking more about them. Thank you for your thoughts @intrigued-gelatin as always! Feel free to drop what you know or tell me some of your headcanons!!

Delta-?? Unnamed and Delta-5 "The Professor" Character Profiles

Unnamed Delta

Name: Formally, none

Aliases: Lasho Femi [name from Professor], Daina Fisher [current legal alias], Janus [former name], DJ [by others], Ten [former designation], Emery Lavinia Jonaitis [pre-Overseer name]

Gender: Non Binary, Unexplored

Pronouns: Any, it/its only when it is in a bad way

Orientation: Queer Asexual, accepts the labels bi and pan but feels no strong draw to them

Departments: Mission Control, Chemical Development

Birth Date: August 13, 1874

Promotion Date: July 2, 1936

Defection Date: Unknown Date, 2019 [officially]

Site of Residence: Moves between various cells

Appearance:

It had long, dark hair that has started to gray quite a bit, the dark parts have a greenish tinge when the light hits it, but this hair has been shaved off and is currently being grown back out. Its eyes are relatively large, deep brown, and frequently a little bloodshot. Its left eye is typically covered with a gauze patch, heavier materials are used but sparingly, but under it, the skin and eye appear to have been burned with lye, yellowed and completely bloodshot. It stands at 6'5", though struggles to stand to its full height for extended periods. It used to have a fairly muscular build, but that had atrophied slightly since its defection. Brightly colored makeup is a common feature, but the styles are often ones requiring minimal time and effort. Clothing-wise, it tends toward looser fitting clothing where possible, all very colorful, and work boots. It has arachnodactyly and its hands are fairly scarred, its nails are also somewhat unkempt.

Personality:

The unnamed Delta member is a bit of a doormat in many regards and very devoted to those it has chosen. It has forsaken its prior detachment from emotions, going all in on the ability to feel again. It often extends a high degree of compassion and attempts to give the benefit of the doubt in all ways to those around it. However, it has not truly overwritten its formerly severe, even harsh, nature, resulting in a fairly short fuse with those it considers to be lower risk targets for its ire. It does not mind being hated, but hates when that hate is inaccurate to what it knows to be true, and it doesn't want to let others down. It is incredibly protective of those in its life, no matter how those others treat it. It has consistently had a high degree of self-criticism and high standards, these are reinforced in its life resulting in an incredibly low self image, it struggles to trust itself even about its own wants and needs. Under this all, it is fundamentally an idealist who, while willing to self-sacrifice, wants to learn how to allow itself to exist again.

History:

The unnamed Delta's body had been a researcher in pharmacology at the Foundation, prior to events that stirred within it a desire to climb the ranks and effect change. Eventually, once they became department head, O5 Command took notice and gave it a chance it never anticipated.

For decades, it handled recordkeeping at the Foundation as O5-10. During that time it witnessed five of the Overseer positions changing hands, achieved the goal its former self had set out with, faced an instance of harsh reprimanding that shook its internal perception of itself as well as its approach to life, and took on a role handling internal PR in an attempt to draw the ire toward itself and away from its colleagues. Over the years, it got worn down and increasingly isolated.

In 2018, the Chaos Insurgency launched a targeted assassination attempt against it, intended to aggravate its known psychological features and exaggerate them to the point where it could no longer function in its role. The one orchestrating this plan arranged to meet it partway through the ordeal, and, over time, they built up rapport with each other, leading to the former O5-10's defection and a romantic involvement between them.

At some point after its defection to the Insurgency, it was handed a role on Delta Command, which it happily accepted, working as mission control at times alongside contributions toward chemistry-related endeavors. Over time, due largely to its status as the Professor's partner, many within the rank and file of the Insurgency have had their initial suspicions and reservations grow into an active resentment and disdain for it, though it is in denial of this fact.

In mid 2023, the unnamed Delta got caught in a Foundation raid on the base it had been stationed at and surrendered. It was held as a prisoner and used as an attempt at PR and proving a point for over seven months before being extracted. The entire experience has left it incredibly rattled in ways it cannot bring itself to acknowledge.

The Professor

Name: The Professor, The Heretic

Aliases: Rene Fisher [current legal alias], Liam Dekker [former legal alias], Delta-5, Seven [former designation], Isaac Laurens Beck [pre-Overseer name]

Gender: Cis Male, unexplored

Pronouns: He/him

Orientation: Bisexual, recently made aware of the term

Departments: Sociology, Morale, Recruitment

Birth Date: February 6, 1791

Promotion Date: July 20, 1854

Defection Date: Unknown Date, 1924

Site of Residence: Moves between various cells

Appearance:

The Professor has ear length hair that has gone completely white that he keeps well-kept at all times. His eyes are light blue and he wears glasses to correct fairly severe myopia and mild astigmatism. He stands at 5'11" and has perfect posture. Typically, he wears full suits in blues and grays, and his casual clothing is still fairly formal while remaining relatively simple and nondescript. While his clothing for most public appearances is incredibly well-tailored, when he is wearing other clothing, it becomes apparent that he has what most would call a dad bod. He is incredibly well kept and it is apparent that he has a fairly in-depth routine for skin care.

Personality:

The Professor is a fairly subdued individual in a lot of respects. While he is self-aggrandizing, egocentric, and laps up the accolades those around him see fit to give him, he tends to be fairly reserved in other areas. When he speaks, he has the tendency to go on at length, though he will temper this if he feels the situation calls for it. He tends toward guiding others to reach their own conclusions, with subtle nudges toward the conclusions he wants them to reach, as opposed to making more direct arguments until he knows his audience is receptive, as he knows not all battles are worth engaging in. He lacks an internal sense of self, though he has a good grasp on his motives and emotions, something that he hates to be confronted with and covers for with lofty goals and the praises of others. He needs to be needed and loved and adored and believes he can achieve this. His understanding of how to care for others is skewed and his altruism and self interest are very intertwined, making it hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. His emotions are genuine, but not very strong, and when he is met with stronger emotions, he tends to downplay his expression, sometimes coming off as insincere. He also has the tendency to spin negative situations in order to reap benefit from them.

History:

The Professor had formerly been an employee at the Foundation, largely handling issues around morale and later training and similar. Over time, his skill was noticed by O5 Command and he received a promotion.

In his new position, he helped draft training protocols and recruitment tactics for the Foundation while balancing new studies. Over the decades, he began to get the idea in his head that protecting the world wasn't enough. He had to save it.

By 1924, he and 4 colleagues with similar end goals had grown so dissatisfied with the status quo that they left alongside many employees, bringing multiple items of interest with them. Many did not make it out, including one of those colleagues, but he did and brought his God Engine with him.

In the 1940s, he and the other Delta members began recruiting for rapid expansion before they had any real infrastructure in place to handle that number of operatives.

Somewhere along the way, some of these disaffected people, sold on the vision of the founding members, began to project their hopes and dreams onto the most visible member of Delta Command, him. It started as hero worship based on things he actually did, but over 70 years, the message drifted and by the 2010s, many had begun to view him as some divine being to varying degrees, a fact he isn't fully aware of.

Dr. Emery Lavinia "Janus" Jonaitis Profile

Name: Dr. Janus Jonaitis

Aliases: That Bitch

Gender: Non Binary, Maverique, Amalgagender

Pronouns: Any, prefers mixing it up

Orientation: Queer Asexual, vehemently disinterested

Role: Chemist for the Resistance

Birth Date: August 13, 19--

Appearance:

Janus has graying dark brown hair with bangs swept slightly to the side. She usually pulls it back in a chignon to keep it out of the way, but when it is down, it reaches their shoulder blades. Their eyes are asymmetric, their right eye is a large human eye with a deep brown iris, their left eye, which is usually left covered, is the same shape as their left but resembles a vortigaunt's eye, with a red sclera and yellow in the center.

He stands at 6'5" and has a fair bit of lean muscle built up from working out in his free time, making him somewhat imposing, despite not necessarily trying to be. Thon has perfect posture at almost all times.

Clothing wise, it prefers red suits and a lab coat, though won't balk at other options. Xe often wears hastily applied, brightly colored makeup, though it is clear xe knows what xe's doing.

Personality:

Most would describe Janus as abrasive and acerbic. Co is harsh in word choice and keeps everyone at as much of a distance as is possible. Hu will help anyone who needs it, certainly, but hu'll complain the entire time, and make the entire experience unpleasant. Various things are known to get a harsher than usual reaction, and a handful are known to evoke more mellow or even melancholic reactions, but what those are is kept close to the chest.

Those who have known Jonaitis for a long time will attest that this was not always their demeanor. Once upon a time, they were quite pleasant, if a bit of a people pleaser, occasionally, this trait will rise to the surface only to be corrected for with vehemence.

History:

Prior to the Resonance Cascade and subsequent invasion, Emery Jonaitis was a chemist in research and development for pharmaceuticals. They were generally well liked among their peers, but were notably very shy and rarely reached out to anyone they did not directly work with.

After they survived everything, they worked to establish positive relations between humans and the alien species who could communicate, notably the Vortigaunts. They established a close bond with one who would later be known as Elephant, due to the effects of an accident they unintentionally caused.

This accident rendered Elephant unable to see the future or communicate with her brethren on the same level as she used to, and rendered Jonaitis with the ability to visually perceive future states of anything with their left eye. Neither of them were thrilled with this. Jonaitis isolated out of guilt, refusing to get close to anyone on any meaningful level.

janus is non-binary. i make up the rules. :)

[touchtranscendslanguage]

If the list isn't too long I'd like to know more about the unseelie Princes! They only showed up like once and have only been briefly mentioned 😭 I crave unseelie content

The long awaited answer :D

Okay, you didn't specify if you wanted technical information about the unseelie princes or personal information so I'm giving you both. Let's dive in!

There are currently one hundred seventeen royals in the unseelie royal family. Of those twenty-eight are princes/princesses. (Note: there are non-binary royalty. In fae there are separate titles for them but in many human languages there aren't so they just pick one of the available titles to go by when speaking human languages because they got tired of fighting with humans about it. They absolutely use this as an example of why humans are inferior to them.) Both the children and grandchildren of the king are considered princes or princesses. King Objectivity has eleven children and seventeen grandchildren. That makes a total of twenty-eight princes and princesses.

This isn't actually a lot of children when you consider how long the king and his children have been alive. There used to be more, but unseelie politics are even more cutthroat than seelie politics and it isn't uncommon for royals to kill each other in order to rise in the ranks. Actually, seelie used to do that too but not nearly as frequently as the unseelie do it.

The princes, princesses, and non-binary royalty in order of claim to the throne:

Crown Prince Valiance (he/him, winter)

Princess Inquisitive (she/her, autumn)

Prince Despair (he/him, winter)

Princess Apathy (she/her, winter)

Prince Horror (he/him, winter)

Prince Pride (he/him, autumn)

Prince Judgment (he/him, autumn)

Prince Criticism (he/him, autumn)

Princess Indifference (she/he non-binary, winter)

Princess Ambition (she/her, autumn)

Princess Serene (she/her, winter)

Princess Ingenuity (she/her, winter)

Prince Patience (he/she/they genderfluid, winter)

Princess Intelligence (she/her, autumn)

Prince Humility (he/him, autumn)

Princess Responsibility (she/her, winter)

Princess Control (she/her, winter)

Prince Manipulation (he/him, autumn)

Princess Tranquil (they/them, winter)

Prince Cold Heart (he/him, winter)

Prince Stability (he/him, winter)

Princess Wisdom (they/them, winter)

Prince Observant (he/him, autumn)

Prince Realism (he/she/they genderfluid, winter)

Prince Modesty (he/him, autumn)

Prince Cruelty (he/him, autumn)

Princess Grief (she/her, autumn)

Prince Disgust (he/him, autumn)

And here is the family tree I made when planning out the unseelie royal family. Bonus points if you can make sense of it. Don't mind the change in color partway through, my marker ran out of ink.

The royals are encouraged to produce heirs so that the unseelie royal family can keep up with the seelie royal family power-wise which is quite a feat considering their competing with King Rainbow and his offspring. King Objectivity has become more strict about royals killing each other to try and preserve as much power as they can. The real challenge is finding consorts.

Unseelie - especially winters - have a harder time falling in love than seelie, but most of the royals aren't looking for love. They're looking for someone suited for ruling who they can tolerate long-term and trust to conceive and raise children with. The trust is the hard part in a place like the unseelie faerie hill. Luckily, they have a long time to find someone. And the ruling part doesn't always apply, often times they don't marry their mates but simply offer them a better life in exchange for making and helping to raise the children. Marriage is, after all, a big deal for fae. Forever is a long time when you're immortal.

The princes who made a brief appearance in Fear Transcends Language were Prince Pride and Prince Ambition. Less than ideal royals for Janus and Virgil to run into. The seelie have a very strained and rather spotty peace agreement with the unseelie which, for the most part, the unseelie honor. If Janus and Virgil had been captured by King Objectivity or someone who sticks to his teachings like, say, Grand Prince Valiance, the seelie royal family would have been in a bad position, but Janus would have been significantly less screwed.

Prince Pride and Prince Ambition would have done things their own way instead of handing Janus and Virgil over to their father which would have ended very, very badly for everyone involved. Pride and Ambition are particularly unflattering examples of unseelie.

When it comes to personal information about the princes there's only one prince I've thought about much and that's Grand Prince Valiance. Oh boy, do I have a lot to say about Grand Prince Valiance. More under the cut because this is getting long.

Grand Prince Valiance is old. So old he remembers what things were like before King Thomas unexpectedly came into power and how in doing so he drastically changed the seelie kingdom and the relations between the two kingdoms. In his opinion, things are better this way.

Valiance was not grand prince at the time. He had four older siblings who killed each other for the title of grand prince. Valiance killed his final older sibling as well, though he didn't lower himself to assassination. He went about it honorably, challenging his brother for his title the traditional way: a battle to the death. Valiance stated his brother to be unsuited for the title of grand prince believing his philosophies and ways of doing things to be outdated with no place in this new world. He knew his brother had become a liability who was damaging the kingdom's foreign relations. He removed the problem.

Valiance, like his father, believes that both seelie and unseelie must exist in order to maintain balance. Now, there are still disputes about territories and other incidents where blood is spilled, but there always has been and always will be. The good terms the two kingdoms are on is a new development, one that the king and grand prince wish to maintain.

Valiance ruled as grand prince for centuries before King Thomas announced the creation of his first two children. When he did, King Objectivity summoned all of the princes and princesses for a dinner meeting.

At the meeting the king informed his children and grandchildren that any of King Thomas's children would likely end up even more powerful than their unseelie counterparts, possibly from a young age. Yes, this included even Valiance whom he had told beforehand. These twins would someday be more powerful despite being significantly younger than him. This news was met with great upset.

King Objectivity told the princes and princesses that they had until the end of dinner to have their emotional reactions and discuss this with each other. After dinner, he never wanted to hear a single complaint about any of this again. This was unusually generous of the unseelie king who normally would not tolerate any 'childish' emotional outbursts from his descendants. The king was experiencing a rare spark of empathy, for he, too, did not handle it well when King Thomas - who is far younger than him and previously much lower ranking - became more powerful than him.

Valiance wasn't happy that these kids could overpower him someday, but he pushed those feelings aside and eventually came to terms with them. Besides, they all knew they had plenty of time before the seelie princes grew up. Then, Roman and Remus started getting older and Roman met Remy. After that, all of the seelie princes started aging much faster and suddenly they were out of time.

Even so, Valiance couldn't be too upset. He respected Roman for claiming a human-drider. Being willing to love an unseelie monster hybrid really said a lot about the kid and it said even more about King Thomas who allowed it to happen.

Roman grew up and now Valiance is almost sort-of kind-of friends with him. Almost, because how could a seelie and unseelie prince be friends? What would Valliance's family say? No, not friends. They're on cordial terms. That's all.

Still, when they have parleys it's clear Roman likes Valiance more than other unseelie royalty (excluding the king, because one never makes known that they have anything less than the utmost respect for the king) just by looking at the impromptu meeting areas he creates for them wherever the incidents occur.

For other unseelie royalty, the table is long to put distance between them. Roman's chair is grander than the other's which is just the slightest bit uncomfortable (more noticeable the longer you sit in it). He brings out his twentieth to fiftieth nicest whiskey (nice enough for royalty while still not being the nicest he could provide). Their pens and papers are standard. 

For Grand Prince Valiance everything is of nicer quality. The table is shorter to make for easy conversation. The chairs are equally grand and comfortable to sit in and match each of their color schemes. Roman brings out his fourth to fifteenth finest whisky (his three finest are reserved for friends, family, and very special occassions) the quality of which depends on the situation and how he feels about Valiance in the moment. He provides pens with the tip he knows Valiance likes and more ornate paper. 

Valiance and Fanciful Creativity (Roman) use each other's monikers with no titles when addressing each other directly. They don't try to trap each other with words or the laws of hospitality. They don't play bullshit faerie games where they mess with each other's heads.

(It's a big difference from how Roman treaters Valiance's great niece, Monger, whom he simply can not stand.)

They're not completely forthcoming, though. They still adhere to the laws of hospitality even if they know the other won't try to trap them. They're still, in some ways, enemies at the end of the day and therefore keep a certain amount of distance between them both literally and figuratively.

Roman may never admit that he secretly reserves his fourth and fifth finest whiskeys for people he wants to be friends with.

(note: whiskey is a human drink that Roman is fond of. Remy introduced him to it)
