Is Vitus friends with anyone from another legion?

i mean, he COULD be theoretically (written permission for yall to have him interact with ur blorbies)

i haven't really considered including other interactions ngl as vitus initially was just a self insert (i've mentioned what legions he almost was in but another option was creating a remembrancer)

its kinda why the mass (/j) amount of ppl who enjoy him overwhelms me a bit (lovingly btw im just not used to ppl enjoying something i make)

i should also point out (if anyone was wondering) that vitus is mainly around in 30k, whereas my other characters are from 40k/current universe. the only ones who interact with each other are cain and percival

alright, i'll write about it at length eventually, but the type of human nik originally was are actually a neat little group of guys. called 'shadows' or 'hosts' (most often not called much of anything really) they're what happens when once in a very rare while a mundane human is born metaphysically incomplete, with their soul not fully formed. they're perfectly regular people, no extra abilities or special heritage (and if they were supposed to have any, they usually end up not having it), with zero clues about what they are besides some inherent restlessness, aimlessness and an odd sort of spiritual dissatisfaction. they don't stay clueless for long, though, usually. when there's a void where part of your soul should be, it kind of behaves differently.

one thing they unwittingly do is absorb metaphysical energy aimed at them like a sponge, making them natural conduits for the magical and spiritual, and extremely sensitive to both. it does also neatly soften the blow of any magic attacks, curses and, most importantly, possessions - which they can handle better than most, but suffer more of than the mundane human would. the preternatural just can't seem to leave them alone. unfortunately, they end up being pretty convenient for otherworldly creatures or metaphysical forces that be in need of a physical form to operate or speak through.

a lot of them are extremely talented mediums and find their calling in allowing the spiritual to speak through them. others find a source of external power or magic to borrow from, but those can only be granted by surrogacy, not taken. some bond with supernatural beings they gladly pay host to, like a live-in patron of sorts. few aren't quite so lucky and end up as 'true vessels', fully taken over by greater spirits and stripped of their autonomy. for a time, while he was still a 'host', nikodemus' fate was almost sealed as a true vessel, only he ended up eating his 'parasite'. which is a neat way to discover what you are and also how you can use it to your advantage, in the same breath (and gain some new abilities through virtue of digestion).

anyway, i just think they're neat.

Choose a favorite character whose name starts with "A"!

If you have any questions on these characters, please feel free to ask!

And if you think of someone who's not listed here that you would like to see, feel free to add a name to the comments/reblogs!

Would have included Jack, but there are only ten options so... yeah. Jack falls into the same grouping as River, where "occupation at first meeting" is a bit hard to define and plenty of time travel happened solo so his companion status gets argued (also, I think his occupation was conman when they met).

Also had to conflate the medical duo (trainee doctor Martha and nurse Rory) in order to fit Graham in, though. Almost didn't include him, actually, but decided that splicing two options together made more sense than leaving him out.

Viridian Phoenix - Baby Edition

[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

*slides across a piano speaking into a corded microphone* if Capcom weren't such cowards, we'd get a dramatic post-7-year-gap reunion between Phoenix and Iris where, after Iris tells him that she thought the reason he hadn't come to see her in so long was because he wanted her out of his life, Phoenix tells her no and admits that the real reason was because he was ashamed of the person he had become (for all the lying and the scheming and the forgery, you get it), and he didn't want her to see him like that, and Iris looks at him and all the people around him and how he's looked after them and Trucy, and to an extent Pearly, after all this time, in spite of everything, and she touches his face and says that that was silly of him because she has always known that he is good and kind and strong and that he is, and has always been, the person she thought he was, and do you get it!!! do you get it!!!! thank you *I get off the piano and my legs get tangled in the cord and I fall over and cry*

Oofies. I haven't played a dhampir in Wrath of the Righteous before, and to hear all my companions except Daeran insult undeath and the undead in front of a half-undead had me cackling.

The question is, do I want to at least unlock the Lich path before the assault on Drezen even if I don't take it?

[twinhearted]

i don't think i've ever seen anyone invent an entirely new incarnation of the doctor and try to write a fake season around them. so i'm trying to do that, perhaps against my better judgment

I'M FUCKING DYING OMG

[weirdratblogs]

I’m watching a playthrough of the first trilogy for Ace Attorney, all because the amazing Jumpchain fic Companion Chronicles is visiting it for an intermission, and anything Companion Chronicles visits, I have to check out.

So... does Edgeworth stop being such a shitty, condescending person?

Like, he uses really underhanded methods - as befitting a lawyer - and shit talks phoenix regularly, and it’s kinda pissing me off?

[hancocksbitch]

I was appearantly not done with Mad World, the magic story-fairies visited me with some inspiration for a couple of more chapters. One of them added today. 😊

There's still nuclear explosions, beer and lovemaking, now with an extra serving of sense of community, tender love and care and peeps daring to be emotionally available. Oh my!

Main Masterlist

Series:

Oh, Baby (dad!Jake Seresin): You might not have been his girlfriend, but when you left town one night a month after sleeping together, it completely broke Jake’s heart. Now, a year later, you’ve returned and you’re not alone. You have a new little companion that just so happens to bear a startling resemblance to Jake.

The One I Want (Jake Seresin x Plus Size!Reader): You're new in town and some guy named Jake is about to be your roommate. Being skeptical of new people keeps you lonely and uninterested in any entanglements, but Jake is desperate to change that.

Signed Away (Arranged Marriage AU): You find out about the contractual marriage your parents arranged with Jake’s when you were a baby. You’re plenty angered by it, but Jake doesn’t seem too bothered. He might even be happy.

Stolen Angel (Angel/Demon AU): You thought you were having a one-night stand with some random, normal guy. Turns out he's a winged, demon-like stalker who has been obsessed with you for years.

One shots:

Forgetting: Jake forgets to pick you up at the airport because of his ex, and for the first time, you think maybe you and Jake aren't mean to be.

Can’t Let You Go: When you and Jake broke up, it hurt both of you more than you could handle. Now, after three months of barely seeing or speaking to one another, Jake walks in on the surprise of seeing you in a wedding dress, and it brings past memories and ruined dreams to the surface.

Rather Be with You: Jake has been away for six months and he just hopes you waited for him.

It’s oh so Quiet: you are in a bad relationship, and you just want to be with Jake.

Just a Little Weak:  You are Penny’s new bartender and she warns you to stay away from one particular pilot, so you do your very best to please your boss. It is only when Penny goes out of town for the summer, leaving you in charge of the bar, that the pilot finally makes his move, and you finally give in. 18+

Touch and Go: You and Jake had been sleeping together for months, and as sure as you were of your feelings for him, you were unsure of his for you. He, however, certainly knew how he felt about you, and after you decide to go on a long trip without telling him, he lets you know just exactly what’s on his mind. 18+

Lazy Mornings and Whatnot: After coming home from his last mission, Jake doesn’t want you to leave the bed and will do what he has to if it means insuring that you’ll stay, which leads to fluffy conversations.

Jealousy Game: You do a little experiment to try to make Jake jealous and it works, with unexpected consequences that change the way you thought the night would go. 18+

Jealous Jake and the Biting Problem; Jealous Jake and the Other Sleepover Buddy: You and Jake have a friends-with-benefits situation, but when he finds bite marks on you from another guy, he doesn’t handle it well. 

Split: You break up with Jake because his actions make you question everything you’ve had between you, but he wants you to take him back. 

A First and a Second: It’s soft Dad!Hangman from start to finish. And cute marriage stuff.

Wanting it all: Hangman ends up in the hospital from a very similar Phoenix/Bob/birds situation, and you suddenly regret keeping a big secret from him.  

Drunken Words, Sober Thoughts: You and Jake had a history of flirting and occasionally kissing if too much time was spent at the bar, but it never went any further than that. One night, after showing up at your house and passing out on your couch, Jake wakes up the next morning only to learn he had drunkenly confessed his feelings for you.

Alive: After you get into an accident, Jake has a hard time coping with how close he was to losing you.

More Than What We Are: You and Jake are friends with benefits, and you have one rule: No feelings! Jake decides that rule doesn’t work for him anymore. 18+

Less Misery, More Company: Jake has feelings for you but you don’t believe it, so you play a little trick to get back at him for all of his flirtatious teasing. But that little trick fails miserably, and as the weight of your mistake settles in, you realize you owe him an explanation, one that requires you to admit some things you’ve long denied.

Back for More: Jake up and left you without explanation right before a mission. Now he’s returned wanting you back, but you want that explanation before you’ll be willing to let go of the pain and heartbreak from his sudden departure a month prior. 

Scrapes and Bruises:  When Rooster and Hangman get into a fight over you. Basically, Rooster is not thrilled about your relationship with Hangman, and their issues with one another bring up some fears of your own.

A Mission of Another Kind:Jake is assigned to a mission he did not think he would have to take part in, despite training for it with everyone else.

OMG until your poll as someone doing Office Admin I hadn't thought of it as being like Donna because I'm not a "Temp" but now I see it listed that way in your poll and I've got something in common with her and it's made my day. [even if I'm too shy to say it off anon]

Hell yeah!

I had a few goals with this poll, the primary one being to point out that the vast majority of New Who characters have been some form of working class (I'd say the only real exception is Martha, maybe Clara since she was doing the nanny work as a favor/thank you instead of out of need, though she did later end up a schoolteacher so she stayed in a related field), even if some of that work is white collar.

(The other was to casually point out that one of the most prominent New Who companions was a sex worker, and I am phenomenally happy that nobody's talking shit about it. It's important to recognize, and important to respect, and nobody's making comments about it.)
