Me rambling about my OCs to anyone who will listen pt 1

Dumping my ideas for my self insert Dialtown OC because I don't have someone to babble to so a Tumbler post will have to do. Will probably reblog this a dozen more times with more lmao. The text font is Indie Flower #6290C4

I whipped up a collage because i can't edit or draw for shit. i forgot to add shoes, but they probably wear huge boots with the strings torn out cause they couldn't be bothered to keep tying them.

I'll start with the simple stuff. Their name is Francis Bell,they're a freshly 18(Aquarius, Jan 31) AFAB nonbinary mess of a human. They're 5'0, but sometimes stuff stilts into their pants & heels of their shoes to make them taller and they are 'can shift the veins and bones around in their wrists a little' kinda scrawny cause projection. They kind of resent the phone= man typewriter=woman binary, and would have kept their typewriter head if not for..the incident. They have a complex bouquet of undiagnosed Neurodivergency and other mental illnesses. They wear those fake nails not for style, but to keep themselves from gnawing on their fingernails. (how does that work when they supposedly have no teeth,IDFK)They work for the funfair, both working with the rides and the ticket stand when Jerry is off the clock.

They're a bitter recluse, hiding their issues under a thick blanket of self-deprecating humor."Self-hatred Is hip now" as they'd say. They want to be seen as cold and collected rather than the anxious mess they are.Definitely the type to lovingly call you a bitch. Has an ex they claim to hate but their refusal to part with any of her gifts to them says otherwise.They are scared of being vulnerable because they know they cling don't anyone who shows them kindness and they cling hard. They like to think of themselves as a tortured artist, despite having near abandoned their writing passion, and they buy cigarettes to light but never smoke. As much as they still like the idea of being a revolutionary, even if not for incidents that we will get into later, they know very well how quickly they fold when someone so much as raises their voice at them.

Besides Jerry, It has one other friend, a cat that pops in and out of Its apartment that It named Misty. She doesn't like being touched unless she initiates and she scratches It sometimes but It loves her anyways.

They really like early 2000s and 2010s pop, but don't admit it because they feel the need to keep up this super alternative persona. The reason why? To prove a point, in a way. For two years before the events of the game, they were dating a girl named Mae Marshall(though they were identifying as a girl named Sophia Poole at the time, this will be relevant later.) Introvert X rich Party girl vibes. They were even writing the story for the two's first project with Mae doing the art.

The only problem with their relationship was with Mae's friends and family, who are a bunch of conformist rich mobster(that last part wasn't exactly known to Them, though)assholes and she never stood up for them, even joining in on their mockery. Mae would give them the rings they wear now and other jewelry as apology presents, which they started to see as her trying to buy their tolerance of being ruthlessly mocked and never defended.

This comes to a head when the mob apparently decides they want them dead.(I'm still debating on whether the dead thing was the truth or a misunderstanding and they were actually being run out of town.)You see, our buddy Fran didn't always take everything in Dialtown with little more than a grumble, often organizing protests for the dozens of problems plaguing the town and the Mayor couldn't be bothered since(in her mind) they had nothing to do with her grandpa's vision for Dialtown. Mae catches wind of the supposed murder plot, and decides to dump them; as she was a fledgling at the time, their relationship would only make them easier to find. Instead of saying "My mob family wants you DEAD" though, she decides to fall back on her old defenses and claims the reason is that they are too embarrassing.

They have maybe a day to process this(which consisted of them blaring Miley Cyrus' '7 Things' and abandoning their project) when the whole 'being wanted dead by the Dialtown Mafia' thing is made extremely clear to them. They, of course, book it as fast as their tiny limbs can carry them(TW: Implications of self-harm),attempting hasty and dangerous transition with the rotary phone they snagged from their parent's house beforehand and a knife.

While they're doing their thing, they accidentally wake up the poor man sleeping in the dumpster of the alley they ducked into.(I think you can guess who he is)

Francis winds up accidentally roping the sap into helping fake their death. To this day, they'd say they owe him their life.With the death of Sophia Poole established, they start their new life.(I can't find anywhere else where this fits,but they are weirdly defensive of the Dialtown Mob for this reason:"if the people that forced me to fake my death and pick up my life from nothing are just a bunch of incompetent losers, what does that say about me?") They get their old job back under a new name, start living in a crappy apartment that they can hardly afford the bills for.The 'killers' dump the dummy body into the pond lake, A detective that just moved in(who will likely be getting her own post later on alongside The ex as they're both datables as well) discovers the 'Sophia Poole' case,and this is where we make it to valentines day.

I imagine Phone/TypeGingi would meet Francis in the apartments. They'd See It staring solemnly into the smog-filled air from Its balcony like the dramatic hoe It is and Will climb up to say hi. After a bit of banter, Gingi learns that It just got dumped and is trying to prove to their only human (kind of) friend that It's moved on because their jokes about being unlovable because of being dumped are concerning, so they agree to be Its rebound in exchange for getting into the funfair.

They dressed up in their fanciest suit and top hat for their shitty amusement park date. "Hah! Who needs to move on now Jerry?"-"OBVIOUSLY, YOU."

The lesson around their route would be showing Gingi peeling away their defensive layers, teaching them they should fight for their own approval and happiness rather than caring what other people think,and picking her writing back up as a more healthy coping mechanism.(Oh, and causing problems for the corrupt government.That too.)They have a new sense of self worth,more of a legal presence in dialtown apart from 'Sophia Poole',published their first novel as a protest piece showing how Dialtown really is dedicated to Gingi,(under an alias,they're bold not stupid) and they have officially adopted Misty.Unless you get their shit yourself and die ending,which involves their ex,crime(probably) and a huge accidental body count(almost definitely). In all honestly,I wanna write a hypothetical route or at least hypothetical endings and a beginning,but this post is already long enough so I'll close this with some playlists for now.
