akin changes so much over the course of becoming the herald... like any teenager she does Want to be important. even if its for something she doesnt believe. she starts believing maybe she is chosen. maybe she is sprcial. her eyes change from brown to the unnatural fade green, always burned by the anchor even after its not a part of her anymore. she gets taught how to utilize her magic, and its amplified by the anchor. she gets more confident. starts listening more to herself than anyone else. shes more important, shes special, right? but sera and vivienne keep her grounded. vivienne has helped her learn the confidence and leadership she starts to wield. cassandra changes from someone akin is dependent on to make all her choices to a friend who's advice is invaluable... idk. she grows up. she gets scarred literally and figuratively. she'll never get the chance to be normal, or to only be a person. she starts to see herself as a symbol, a spirit, rather than a person when she isnt with her friends.
thus concludes my weekly thought vomit about akin
#ocs#akin#my inq game is taking forever bc im doing literally every quest and its such like. a natural#roleplay growth for akin#she definitely struggles to think of herself as an individual. always did#but now especially. shes only a person when shes alone. hyper aware that her every movement and word#causes a ripple through the entire world around her. she doesnt get rest. shes a tool#thats how she sees herself

Feral Plagas!Leon but he acts more like an energetic cat that was just given catnip. The pills used to suppress the Plagas growth alongside the miniscule inactive viruses from his previous adventures just toasts the bug's original nature. It's relationship with Leon becomes akin to Venom with the mind of a stubborn toddler.
Don't give it sweets and the guy will be bouncing around like a lunatic until you catch him on a tree covered in fresh sap. Leon arches his back like the Halloween Black Cat with his tail plus spike spines flared up if spooked. Becomes a pure chittering mess if given anything that contains honey or maple syrup. Meat honey from vulture bees is Plagas!Leon's favorite so it's best to keep stock.
Complete and total hoarder. He loves to collect stuff in this feral state akin to a bower bird. If it gets Leon's attention, then it's added to his makeshift hive like nest. Man has a few scratching posts and something very durable to chew on. Got a tendency of stealing animals like rabbits or chickens for the purpose of being pets.
Any nest Plagas!Leon makes is a mix between old clothes, bedding materials, and a unique type of saliva he can produce. The slime is very adhesive that it'll put even the strongest glues to shame. Leon's saliva has minor healing properties.
It's usually made in a web form than liquid to heavily reduce the adhesiveness and make it easier to remove. He can also make a powerful acid with the purpose of making pathways. Leon has quite a number hidden in Spain with only one not made during a feral episode.
He is absolutely embarrassed once a feral episode comes to an end as he's fully conscious for every moment. Especially since tantrums are a given in this state and he'll wreck furniture out of spite. Saddler trying to control the parasite just pisses it off instead so Plagas!Leon is even more vicious when fighting the cult.
In fact, he will even EAT the other Plagas as rage lets loose cannibalistic tendencies from its altered nature. A good chunk of insects do feed on other members of their species so don't be surprised if its true here. Leon later admits that they taste like chicken much to Ashley's disgust and Luis' morbid fascination.
Zoomies happen a lot even more so during a feral episode. His body tends to produce too much energy and Leon has to expel it. A human sized hamster wheel or hamster ball is always brought up with Ashley even thinking of a design. Leon wasn't amused.
Completely territorial especially when a huge threat such as Krauser is nearby. Half the time Feral Plagas!Leon will cut down the threat or get his 'swarm' to safety. (Leads to a Luis lives situation) Ashley and Luis are HIS, same goes for anyone else that he can trust and likes.
Feral episodes has a 50/50 chance that he'll shift into 'bug mode'. His appearance heavily morphing to an insectoid yet oddly reptilian visage. It's completely random so what comes come. Plagas!Leon still acts the same although he might carry Ashley or Luis by the scruff of their shirt with his fangs.
His abilities are heavily amplified in bug mode than just size alone. Leon's acid can melt steel than just rock, his adhesive saliva now hardens into a cocoon like shell, and any webbing produced is able to treat more extensive injuries such as 2nd degree burns. You can say he's more of a tank or sentinel from roleplaying games in this state.
Overall, the man is just relieved that he isn't going to hurt anyone innocent thanks to his new infected status. Although Leon will never tell anyone about the time he almost ate a Karen's annoying corgi. Guy's Plagas was hangry that day.

Living in My Own Bubble
Sabi ng friend ko, ano raw realizations ko sa life ngayong independent living na. Actually, ewan, pero lately naaaliw talaga ako sa "slow" life ko; mabagal naman talaga akong kumilos at kumain in general, pero pinakanag-eenjoy ako pag hindi ko kailangan magmadali.
Siguro, before, para akong laging naghahabol ng oras, pero ngayon, effortlessly, ang aga ko laging dumadating. May time din na pansinin 'yung maliliit na bagay like mga tindahan, halaman, building sa paligid, may time akong mag-grocery (and somehow laging may open na counter dito, unlike sa amin dati, laging blockbuster, kahit 1 item lang, ang haba ng pila para makapagbayad). Sabi nila, 'di ba, parang pumikit ka lang, tapos laban na ulit (isipin mo pag 9pm ka na nakakauwi tapos 5am naggagayak na ulit). Ngayon, I feel in control of my time (since naglalakad lang ako papasok or pag pupunta somewhere) and I love the peace that comes with it. Walang nagsasabi sa akin kung anong dapat gawin.
Sa work naman... apathy. Haha. Basta pumasok at gawin ang kailangan. Kung hindi mapromote, edi hindi. Kung may mag-maternity leave at sa akin napasa ang trabaho at andaming dagdag na ipinapagawa on top ng normal work pero syempre walang bayad, edi wala. Kung hanggang saan lang ang kaya, dun lang.
Nag-let go na ako (for now) ng endless pursuit of growth and development. Hindi ko alam saan ako papunta. Wala akong goals. Just living day by day. Magaling na pala ako sa roleplaying ngayon, pag may mga parang HR na tanungan sa office like what do you hope to achieve in X timeline, parang pick a personality and put it on lang din ang peg. Kahit pag umoorder ako sa labas, inglisera na ako. Kumapal na mukha ko.

I have a Discord roleplay server for my Homestuck AU, where the hemospectrum has been flipped upside down. Here's information on the inverted purplebloods. This information can be found on the Discord server. More information on the other inverted castes can be found in the #hexswitch tag. Please dm me or click on the link at the bottom of this post if you're interested and would like to join.
APPLE
Third from the bottom. Hardy workers who often find themselves in the same lines of work as lemonbloods and seadwellers. However, they are considered more desirable than lemonbloods as labourers because although they aren’t as strong, they carry no risk of accelerated and dangerous muscle growth. Additionally, they are considered less desirable than the seadwelling castes as servants and entertainers for their lack of “exotic beauty and bloodlust”.
Applebloods are, on rare occasion, crystallized with the ability to influence the mental states of others, with the specifics of their powers varying between individual applebloods. (For a few examples, different applebloods can make one terrified, calm, hyperaggressive, or unusually compliant.) These powers physically manifest as small dolls. Imperial protocol calls for these dolls to be taken away and given to a noble of higher blood status. Prolonged separation of doll and owner causes the doll’s power to gradually fade over time, with effects akin to a slow, painful lobotomy on the doll’s appleblood.

Fanfiction Review: Aberration
While a relatively common name for a fanfic across fandoms, in this instance, I’m referring to the completed Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 Edition x Worm Fanfiction by theonewhowas, that clocks in at around 250k words.
The story follows a character dropped in from what seems to be a DnD game, a Binder (a class that makes multiple pacts with a variety of occult entities for powers) called Freakshow. Said name comes from her eldritch appearance (a side effect of some of the pacts she has made), given to her by the Merchants, who she falls in with after landing in Brockton Bay. She is very much a fish out of water, tasked with finding “the Munchkin” (a roleplaying term for a powergamer who utilises the rules as written to break the game and become overpowered) by the mighty Punpun (a DnD community joke regarding an overpowered kobold build to effectively get infinite stats). Despite the tongue in cheek nature of her task, it’s played very realistically, with DnD 3.5 mechanics applied to real life as well as they’re able without becoming a gamer fic. It’s well written, with Freakshow growing as a person over the course of the story, becoming less of a pastiche of the murderhobo stereotype and slowly growing into an actual person. She develops friendships and relationships, likes and dislikes, and ultimately comes into her own as a human being. How the various DnD mechanics interact with the setting is interesting and well thought out, with that nice skinner box of Upgrades and Level Ups playing alongside the story proper. That said, it’s not without its flaws. Some readers may be annoyed by the almost complete lack of Taylor in the story, as well of the characterisation of some of the more polarising members of the cast, such as Alexandria. Additionally, while knowledge of DnD 3.5 is not absolutely required, it does help lend insight into some of the references and mechanics at play. Some plot threads fade away, and the pacing at the end is rather abrupt, with no follow up. Still, it’s a good read. If you like OCs being out of context problems, character growth akin to those in TTRPGs, and being a Wizard in a world of mortals, then this is the one for you.

some expectations/predictions for the egg plot just because i like listing things and i am, quite frankly, bored:
puffy gets infected next and seeks the syndicate's help before the infection got worse. by doing this, she accidentally spreads the egg's residue in the antarctic, causing a sprout to grow there.
purpled involvement? bad did pay ponk to get purpled to assassinate puffy, so i'd like puffy's first canon life to be taken out by purpled.
eret has to be next on the chopping block after puffy. the entirety of the greater dream smp seems to be getting infected, so why not have the king get infected too?
RED VELVET HAS TO BE PART. i know not everyone knows who red is, so for context, red is a good friend of the friend group of dream's who is also ant's boyfriend. dream wants smaller content creators to gain recognition so it'd just make sense he'd want red to join the server. plus, his entire theme is RED, so he seems like the perfect candidate to be the guy behind the bloodvines growths.
with red involved, i also want to see some ant character exploration. if red and ant are willing to roleplay some relationship shenanigans in the egg plot, and if the egg is meant to provide everyone with anything they desire, i'd like to see ant desire something akin to companionship. this would make sense as to why red would emerge from the egg in the first place, and i just think it'd give ant a cool character arc once the egg lore wraps up.
bad self-sacrifice? it just feels like it's building up to something like that. skeppy and bad's lives are apparently connected, and if skeppy is a lost cause, bad could potentially just. sacrifice himself if it meant he'd protect everyone else.
if the egg dies, i'd still want to see red as a character who has similar powers to the egg but is much less evil in nature. maybe he'd find a sense of purpose/a touch of humanity via ant?
the prison should be infected soon. the egg itself breaks obsidian and i'd love to see it break dream free from his confines. that being said, i do expect dream to be afraid of the egg because he's shown distaste for it when the bloodvines first appeared. so while dream is free, he's still trapped thanks to the egg being one of its weaknesses.
SYNDICATE VS EGG PLOT? it feels like it's leading up to that eventually. plus, it'd be an interesting fight when you realize that you can't really DEFEAT the eggpire, but you need to find a way to fight them without murdering then, find a cure for their infection, and defeat the egg without any information as to how it works. i mean. unless dream knows about the egg, and he teams up with the syndicate, which i think is Very Cool considering wilbur might as well be part of their group too.
bad's a very emotional person so i won't be surprised if he actually cries in one of these roleplays. bonus points if he drops the f bomb at a certain point.
sam, when you do get infected, please commit to your creeper roleplay and imitate the fire creeper from the elemental creatures mod where you just explode and turn into fire from time to time. it'd be so fucking cool.

OOC PSA: Personal Boundaries
So, it’s come to my attention that I need to set up some ground rules for my own comfort. I hate that it’s come to this but I really need to let everyone know where I stand OOC for my own comfort, because the less comfortable I am, the less content I’ll produce (and I do not want to completely drop LLR just because of some run-ins with personal ooc issues like I have other projects). So. I’m going to be blunt and kind of painful about it but I need to get this out there.
Some of these are boundaries that have been recently and repeatedly breached and others are things I’ve learned that need to be clarified from other projects I run. I’m being as blunt and clear-cut as I can be, but if you need more clarification, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m not trying to single anyone out with these, but it’s been a month and a half or so of varied little/big boundary breaches and I need to draw the line in the sand before something bad happens.
Buckle up lads, this is gonna be long.
---
TL;DR:
I’m not here to make quick friends, I am not here to play therapist or be your creative mentor/sounding board. I am here to write, to draw, to roleplay, and to explore character building with other creatives that I MIGHT get to know in the future.
I’m not very talkative OOC. Don’t feel insulted if we don’t talk every day, bc I physically cannot keep up with that kind of thing.
Don’t call me senpai, smol bean, or treat me like an idol. I’m a person. I don’t like being idolized like an unapproachable celebrity or made out to be a “cutsey wootsey” baby. I’m an adult.
Don’t just befriend me for free artwork. That’s rude and will earn you a permanent block.
Don’t dish out what you can’t take back. Don’t threaten my characters without expecting consequence, and don’t antagonize them without letting me know you’re going to first (the exception is if I approach a muse who very clearly has their antagonistic nature stated in their rules/about page, i,e, a clear-cut or well-known villain character).
I won’t use your work without permission from you directly. I will always try to approach you OOC first for permission to use your content or reference our mutual threads in the AU, canon or not.
Inviting you into my AU doesn’t mean you can use my concepts for yourself or that you have permission to create content for my AU without my permission. I enjoy adding people’s threads as little side-lines, but I’m still writing the AU myself (or with Finn for resET) and prefer strict control over what is/n’t a part of it.
I don’t appreciate people leaking/sharing spoilers I might share in private, even with their close friends. Please don’t be that person.
I don’t feel comfortable with people using my characters/work (including rping them). I know it’s popular to RP from active AUs, but please don’t do that with mine - especially my OCs.
---
The long detailed list (with more accurate info):
One: I am not your friend, your bestie, or interested in getting close to you unless we take the time to get to know each other, and that won’t happen with everyone. I get that I come off as a friendly and easy to talk to (so I’m told). And that’s what I like to be! I like to be conversational with people when I can, but that’s what you do when you’re a stranger. You assume that sort of “professionalism” with people before actually getting comfortable with them and letting those barriers down. Friendship takes time, especially for me. I don’t like making close friends quickly, and I don’t make friends in general very easily, and I like keeping it that way. It’s nothing against you as a person, I’m sure you’re a great person! I am just too old and too tired/jaded with what I’ve gone through with people both in real life and ESPECIALLY in the tumblr RPC that I CANNOT and WILL NOT make friends quickly. If you cannot respect this, I will not hesitate to cut you off completely.
Addendum: Along those lines: Unless we’ve already MUTUALLY established friendship, please treat our relationship with a sense of professionalism. This means don’t try to buddy-buddy me or expect me to be friendly beyond common courtesy, respect my boundaries as an individual person, and don’t take my common courtesy and friendliness as a sign I’m being “super close friends” with you. Treat me like a stranger - which I AM - and don’t get too personal too fast. As cruel as this sounds, I don’t want to hear about your personal life; I’m not here to play therapist nor am I here to be a shoulder for you to cry on. I’ve not been entirely professional myself I realize, which is going to change from now on. I don’t want to give mixed signals or lead anyone on with my friendliness. I want to maintain professional distance. I’m not going to “click” with everyone I meet nor will you and I necessarily actually hit it off beyond that distance. That’s just life. It doesn’t mean I hate you, it simply means we’re human and don’t get along perfectly.
Two: The Senpai Rule. It’s in my rules for a reason. Please read it.
Three: I am not your design mentor, art resource, or your permanent sounding board. I am willing to OCCASIONALLY look over art for critiques/red lines, find resources, and I am OCCASIONALLY willing to help you with your oc/world building, but I am NOT interested in fully helping you with your design creation or being your world building “buddy” unless I’ve come to know you for some time. I am NOT JUST a sounding board for ideas. If I invite you to share with me or we click very well and just seem to get those creative juices flowing together, that’s different, but IN GENERAL, please don’t only use me for your own world building or growth.
Four: I cannot talk to you every single day, even if we are friends. I am busy, I have mental health issues that make it hard to talk even to my close friends every single day. I am a full time caregiver for my senior mother and I am a full-time artist. I simply CANNOT be there to talk to you every day. I don’t like getting messages every single day, either, unless you already understand that sometimes I won’t reply to them / will take time in getting to them. If I tell you I have no energy to reply, don’t bother me about it. I will not hesitate to stop talking to you entirely if I have to just to get some peace of mind.
Five: I occasionally make art for friends, but I am not a free art/request machine. I don’t often make art for people I care about anymore because people don’t seem to understand that my free time = MY time I can spend making for other people IF I WANT TO. I am not some machine you can put friendship coins into just to get free art out of. If you are befriending me to get art from me or get written into my AUs/stories, get lost.
Six: If your muse threatens, belittles, irritates, or otherwise bothers my characters, my characters will react accordingly. It doesn’t matter if their background is what causes this, or their mental health, or their trauma, or just that they’re a mean ol’ fucker who hates people. If a random stranger walked up to you and said “go fuck yourself,” would you respond by saying “oh, it’s ok! I know you deal with x y z, so I’m not offended!”? No. So don’t expect my characters to react that way. Mental health and trauma are NOT excuses or get-out-of-jail-free cards. Likewise, I OOCly do not like when people insult, attack, or threaten my characters without prompting, ESPECIALLY upon first reactions (unless it’s clearly stated in your about or rules that your character will behave as such), so please don’t do it. There’s a difference between me knowing what I’m getting into and me being approached with such animosity, even IC-based, without prompting.
Seven: Even though I get excited and I AM inviting other people to play in on LLR, LLR is my project (and resET is mostly Finn’s project) and we will do with them as we please. I won’t use any kind of design/fan art/graphic/etc anyone else has made for me/the project without their (usually written bc it’s all text online) permission and without crediting them, but it is ultimately up to ME what does and does not appear in the AU/blog/etc. I will always try and approach someone OOC for their direct permission if I want to use their work/reference our threads/etc if I feel they’d work well with the AU.
Addendum: Inviting you into the AU does not give you creative license over the characters/storyline, it does not give you permission to use my work without asking me first, and it does not mean you are a conceptual partner of mine. I don’t mind ideas being tossed my way for threads or concepts you’d like to write with my characters, though they might not be considered canon unless I ask or I list them on the blog page.
Eight: Kind of obvious but it’ll probably need to be said anyways: If we’re friends/I’m close enough to share spoilers with you, PLEASE DON’T SHARE THEM TO ANYONE. Even your own friends. There’s exceptions to this rule (namely those I’ve known for years/am super close with and know well already), but in general? PLEASE don’t share my secrets. That spoils the fun and makes me less interested in actually posting anything.
Nine: I’ve stated this in my long list of rules, but: please don’t roleplay any of my AU characters, especially my OCs. I’m already roleplaying them and I’m not comfortable in seeing doubles. Especially my OCs because??? Don’t rp other people’s OCs lmao that’s just bizarre and kind of akin to stealing them? Anyways I just need to reiterate that because I know that’s kind of how AUs work on tumblr so. HEADS UP THAT I DON’T LIKE THE THOUGHT OF PEOPLE RPING MY OWN CHARACTERS (ESP WITHOUT MY DIRECT PERMISSION).
---
That’s all for now! Thank you for understanding and I appreciate all your patience with me as I take my time to make this AU the best I can!
#psa;#important;#rules;#stuff regarding number seven/eight havent happened yet but since im establishing boundaries#they NEED to be said.#for the future#ive had to be very clear about this stuff with my project strife stuff so i just want to be VERY clear with everyone with this AU too#esp regarding places it can get muddy i.e. inviting people into the au.#long post#old canon;#when llr was undertale;

Big ol’ ooc
Sappy mush below cut
You guys maybe could, but probably can’t understand just how much people asking my stupid characters questions actually means to me. Or how like, just in general wanting to write with me/being supportive even if our muses haven’t interacted yet or just being here changed my goddamn life. I have been working on these marines on and off since 2012. I made scum in 2009, and she was a loyalist at the time. Just functioning as an avatar. Clearly things changed a lot for me since.
Those of you that follow my personal blog have probably seen me be big and vague about a long stint of emotional abuse, from two particular people, and I’m sadly not here to clarify much on that, just that it more or less stunted my growth as a writer, and as an artist, as well as socially emotionally blahblahblah it fucked me up and it still fucks me up from time to time. I gave up drawing for something like 5 years when I used to draw every day. I had only dabbled in creative writing beforehand and the rest of it was just telling myself stories in my head or instant-messaging roleplaying with people I could explicitly trust (and, obviously, some I really shouldn’t have.)
I wasn’t able to imagine a life where I could show the world my work and actually have anybody care, or like it. Not fanart, that always has an audience, but... my things. Or want to hear more about them. Or actually want to smooch my boys instead of just treating them like some kind of fucking....extension of their personal property and some smutt toy. Or think that my once shameful avatar was compelling enough to let her have an arc and be more than just a moe blob.
Like, this thing that I’m living right now is basically akin to wild fantasy. I don’t know how to describe how impossible this all feels.
and people are willing to let me be slow and nervous and figure this shit out on my own time
what the fuck??
Basically, I owe ... a lot, of this recent progress in my mental health to you guys. When my tumblr first blew up I was scared. I panicked and cried a lot. I had nightmares that I would become immediately struck down because I drew something wrong, or that I was trying too hard to be funny. I had actual nightmares about waking up and seeing my inbox full of people telling me to kill myself, and having no idea what I’d done.
But that didn’t happen. People calmly poked me and waited, even if I started crying in complete terror just trying to hold a conversation. People let me settle in and find footing and (mostly) didn’t pressure me. I drew more and more. I drew more than the last 4 years combined in June/July. People started...to ask...me stuff. On my personal blog. Like they actually wanted to talk to me and I just...
Was this... real? I don’t know. I wanted it to be because I liked it. I liked being talked to, or just feeling like my dumb opinion mattered. Even if its just the same anon because I can’t prove its not, haha.
All of it’s culminated in a person that I’m happier to wake up being. I am slowly getting more confident with my writing even if I still panic and edit 2 1/2 paragraphs for six hours sometimes and finally moving ahead with characters that have been sitting in rough concept stages for years. Like... fuck guys. Even when I’m burnt out, I don’t want to stop, and I think that I can even keep going.
It wracks my brain in a good way, trying to wonder what you all see in me because I still don’t see this good person or talent you talk about, but I’m getting better and better at not doubting that people mean it when they say it and... and that, for me, is huge.
So just... Thank you.

This is like putting a target on my back for a lot of people that know me, but I’m so torn on how to feel about games like Undertale. Ones where they’re exceptionally well made from a technical standpoint, but they also feel... exploitative once you dig under the surface. Keep in mind, Undertale’s just the storyline that brought about this thought, and in no way is it the greatest offender (nor is this post solely in regards to it).
You see this a lot in literature where criminally underdeveloped or otherwise two dimensional characters are masked by a specific mannerism or dialect that makes them pleasing to encounter. Anime’s another good example, where the habits of a character make up their form, and “depth” is portrayed solely by intensely emotional moments that-... overall, don’t really mean anything. They’re just there to make you feel urgency and fear.
So on the one hand you have this media that’s created with love, and care, but the creator has warped that into something draining in order to make you feel that you’re experiencing something greater than the sum of the parts.
Is that actual depth? Similarly, a lot of stories really get off on this ‘anyone can die at any point always’ attribute, something that Game of Thrones’ success has greatly supported. Nowadays you see awkwardly paced, disastrous storylines written where main characters die before we can even get to know them, let alone connect with them, in the name of creating this artificial urgency about the plot.
Perhaps it’s all the time I’ve spent roleplaying. It’s been core in that medium for a very long time. People, in childish attempts to get attention, will just straight up write murder-fiction featuring their characters if they’re not given enough attention. It’s always soured me to the concept of “hardcore stories” where people spend the bulk of the plot losing limbs, being tortured, or any other horrendous act that, generally speaking, seems to only serve to underline your empathy rather than advance the plot. Acting that way in RP has always struck me as throwing your toys out of the pram, and I can’t help but imagine the writers of offending stories, be them videogames, TV shows, books or what have you, as similar immature folk.
“-and then he got tortured for a million billion years because screw you, this coffeeshop AU needs to HURT YOUR FEELINGS in order to be real!”
It really feels like it’s taking advantage of naturally empathetic people. It’s hard not to feel something when a character you’ve just come to know is put in a genuinely heartbreaking situation, whether you know jack shit about them or not. Tugging on someone’s emotions is a very, very good way of gaining loyalty in people. Advertisement does it, branding does it, why wouldn’t fiction do it?
It’s akin to an impersonation act of greater, better written storylines, where even mild conflict can hurt you thanks to the actual growth and depth of the characters. What better way to piggyback on the payoff than making the conflict bigger, badder, and more impossibly punishing to cover up the fact no one knows a damn thing about your protagonist.
My question is; am I being picky? Is this just a knee-jerk reaction I have to get over? I feel soured whenever someone tries to buy my interest in a character by making them suffer, or even straight up murdering them. Characters should be interesting and enjoyable outside of their tragedy, too, and deeper than an amusing way of speaking or a cartoonish appearance.
I genuinely don’t know who’s at fault; the creator, or my tastes.
I’m assuming the latter, honestly.

Roleplay Server Log #185
“Dragon Chat, The Devouring Deep”
[Endrea] Is looking for GK-
[Gk] Is at the spawn. He's laying in the grass dozing while Doc is jogging with Yaunfen and hir pokemon nearby. The goomy keeps breaking off to bother GK because it wants to battle. Finally the big dragon gives it a bit of a shove and chuckles as it rolls over and over in the grass like a gooey ball.
[Doc] Gk! Don't do that!
[Endrea] Spots them and comes over, flopping down next to GK and pressing against him-
[Gk] Whoah! Oh. Hey Endrea. - Kinda nuzzles her- Geeze you've gotten big.
[Endrea] Nuzzles back- Finally have a small break from the children, Sweet Alex is watching them
[Gk] Ah. Expect them back full of sugar and stories and toting a variety of crayon drawings.
[Endrea] - No doubt, I just needed a small break though
[Gk] It's always more fun being lazy when others are doing sweaty shit. - Gestures to Doc and the pokemon plus small dragon herd.
[Endrea] Laughs a little- How they keep up with that many I don't know... Then again I doubt they're constantly trying to get into things they're not supposed to...
[Gk] Eh. From what I've been told the pokemon are pretty damn smart. They're pretty eagar as long as the trainer pays lots of attention to their needs. It's not like kids. But then, there is Yaunfen... who knows what that one will be like? They learned their first word the other day, and it's burp of all the fucking things.
[Endrea] Laughs some more- How interesting...- She sighs and stretches out- This sun feels so good right now
[Gk] Yeah, it's a nice day - wiggles his hooves in the grass. - Wanna make a bet on how much quiet we get before the next explosion?
-Mb has gotten close enough to see what Doc is doing and the two of them are now trading insults near the covered bridge.
[Endrea] - I doubt it will be long...
[GK] Same here... Have you met the new guy? What a basic bitch.
[Mb] Fuck you too!
[Endrea] - I sat on him
[Gk] Laughs- Way to make an impression.
[Endrea] - Ashe is showing interest in flying
[Gk] Do you think he's strong enough?
[Endrea] - Not yet, but that doesn't mean he's not practicing
-Doc and Mb are now having a spirited slap fight-
[Gk] What are you going to do?
[Endrea] - Watch him, and have CP and you help me judge when he's ready to really start learning
[Gk] What about Willow and Oak? Any words from them yet?
[Endrea] - No, and they are taking some time to grow too...
[Gk] Do they seem sickly? It was a two for one.
[Endrea] - No, both seem perfectly healthy, and we don't know if they are capable of speech either
[Yaunfen] Bites at MB-
[Mb] FUCKER! - Hops backwards grabbing his leg-
[Gk] I like the candy ones spark.
[Endrea] - It does have it's quirks
[Doc] Is looking rather proud -
[Mb] Kicks at Yaunfen and is knocked down by Doc's Exeggcute before Doc can even react.
[Gk] Pfft.
[Endrea] Watches as one of her enders teleports around-
[Gk] Follows her gaze. - Kids....
[Endrea] - I'm rather glad they don't require as much attention as my adopted children
[Gk] Yeah, they ain't as much fun though. I like having other dragons around.
[Doc] Transforms and is now biting at Mb who's trying to punch hir in the snout-
[Gk] Even if some of them are artifical...
[Endrea] - They're happy, leave them be
[Gk] Yeah, I know. They're still afraid though...
[Endrea] - True...- She rolls onto her back
[Gk] Scratches the bigger dragons belly with his hooves-
[Endrea] Squeaks and thrashes a little- GG!
[Gk] What? Is the exposed belly a trap? You're such a cat. - grins-
[Endrea] - GG THAT TICKLES!- Tries to squirm away
*Vwoop
*Vwoop
[Gk] Goes for a more aggressive tickle now that he knows he's being annoying- Ah-hahah!
[Sky] Nope, still not right...
[Doc] Swats Mb with hir tail and accidently sends him flying towards Sky-
[Endrea] Shrieks in laughter and whips her tail around to retaliate-
[Sky] I am also! Not a target. *Vwoop,
[Gk] Gets thunked in the head - OOF!
[Doc] Sorry Sky!
[Mb] Races back towards Doc and gets zapped hard by the Galvantula. - AAAAAA
[Sky] It's fine. Glad I got out of the way, though. Anyway! Bye! *Vwoop
[Endrea] Smirks and goes in for her own tickles on GK-
[Mimikyu] -comes from behind a tree with it's leaf umbrella and pokes doc-
[Gk] Is easilly overwhemed by the larger dragon - ARGH!
[Endrea] - Hmmm, looks like I can win at these now...
[Doc] Is Braced in case Mb charges hir again and jumps at the small touch-
[Mimikyu] Mimik -pokes doc again-
[Gk] Transforms back into his human shape to get out of her grip - Enough! I'm gonna pee my damn pants! - His face is red from laughing.
[Doc] Hey Mimkyu. Are you okay?
[Endrea] Shifts to her human form as well-
[Gk] Drops to the ground with a thunk of boots. - well I wasn't gonna stay shifted. Ya didn't have to do that. Shit.... I think you got taller in this form as well.
[Mimikyu] -shakes it's fake head yes and starts to run around trying to see if they can get any of the other pokemon to join in-
[Endrea] - Well I do end up a little taller than CP...
[Goomy] is quick to follow and bounces after the Mimkyu. The Exeggcute is staying by Doc's side and the Galvantula is protecting Yaunfen.
[GK] Geeze.... I wonder why? Is everyone on your seed just super tall?
[Endrea] - Probably the false NOTCH's way of trying to make me more intimidating...
[Mimikyu] -in running in circles making sure to use the leaf to keep as much light off them as possible-
[Gk] Are you sure he wasn't planning on having you try to seduce Cp at some point?
[Endrea] - He never told me so...
[Yaunfen] Tries to get Galvantula to play with it-
[Gk] Well you look good. Speaking of such, hows Flux? I heard she had some energy work done.
[Endrea] - I'm not sure, I've been so busy with the children I haven't really seen her
[Galvantula] Is still watching Mb in case he tries to start more shit but does respond to Yaunfen's nudging.
[Gk] She ain't been around to check on Markus? Poor bastard.
[Endrea] - Maybe? We have been spending a lot of time at the library, Ashe just can't get enough of books
[Gk] Smart little bugger. I'm glad he's on our side. How's the chess lessons with Alexsezia going for him?
[Endrea] - Decently enough, he's not quite good enough to win yet, but he's learning quickly
[Endrea] Sighs- Well, I suppose this has been a long enough break, would you like to go with me to pick up the children?
[Gk] It's okay to leave them over there for a while you know. Sweet Alex loves playing with kids and critters.
[Endrea] - Yes but she has all three by herself, and although Ashe is well behaved, Willow and Oak aren't always...
[Gk] If you're ready to face the horde again I'll go with ya.
[Endrea] - That would be much appreciated
[Gk] Steps up into the air and floats along with her at eye level. - Are you doing okay kiddo? I know it's a lot of responsibility.
[Endrea] - I'm dealing, it's more than I've ever dealt with before, but the pull of wanting to protect and raise them is so strong
[Gk] Hormones are a bitch like that... Is Ashe really still making trouble? He seems like such a smart kid.
[Endrea] - Oh no, he's no trouble at all, his questions are a bit persistent, and I don't always have the answers, but otherwise everything is fine with him
[Gk] You should fob him off on Cp sometimes. Watch out for the little flowers unless you wanna smell them all day. They're oily as fuck. -
[Endrea] Steps around the flowers- Thanks for the warning- She approaches Sweet Alex's door and knocks on it
[Sweet Alex] Hang on! - There's a bit of thumping around and the small Alex answers the door. She has paint on her clothes and huge smile on her face. The room is full of papers covered in colorful streaks and pawprints. - Hey Endrea! Hi Gk!
[Ashe] - Mama!
[Endrea] - Hello Sweet Alex, I hope they weren't too much trouble?
[willow and oak] -they are bigger then before and are covered in colors they come running into endrea-
[Sweet Alex] Oh no! Not at all. I told them it was okay to get messy.
[Endrea] Is surprised by the size of her two younger children- Oh dear, it looks like we've had some growth spurts
[willow] -trys to put some of the colors she has on endera-
[Sweet Alex] Oh yeah! That was a bit of a suprise.
[Endrea] Smiles and crouches down- Silly Willow, colors belong on paper
[Sweet Alex] They're so cute.
[Ashe] - Uncle GG!
[willow] -still trys to make a smiley face on endrea's belly-
[Gk] Hey Ashe, did you draw some good stuff today?
[Endrea] Just smiles warmly at her daughter-
[Ashe] - Uh huh! I drew a nucleous!- Shows the picture to GK
[oak] -is bringing one of the picture he drew to endrea it's mostly scribbles-
[Endrea] - Oh Oak, that's a wonderful drawing
[Gk] Um.... That looks really cool! - He has no idea what it is.
[Ashe] - Mama, I'm hungry
[Endrea] - Do you need void energy? Or do you want actual food?
[Ashe] - Void!
[Sweet Alex] Ah, I was just about to ask them that when you knocked, but I don't have any Void in my pantry - chuckles- I do have pie though.
[Gk] Gimmie.
[Endrea] Summons some void energy and gives it to Ashe, it's not stable in his hands, but he eats it quickly- Willow? Oak? Do you want any?
[Sweet Alex] motions them inside and lays out some pie and milk on the counter -
[Gk] Scarfs some happily -
[willow and oak] -they both open their mouths showing they want some in the process oak drops is drawing-
[Endrea] Creates another orb and lets it flow into their mouths. She also grabs Oak;s drawing-
[willow and oak] -eat happily-
[Sweet Alex] what would happen if a human touched that stuff Endrea?
[Endrea] - It would poison them
[Sweet Alex] Geeze....
[Gk] I wonder if the Nether has a local equivalent? I've never tried, but there must be something strange that keeps the Blaze's burning and the undead vigorious.
[Endrea] - Flux may know, I know her magic feels very similar to void energy too
[Sweet Alex] I thought hers was more akin to the Overworld magick?
[Endrea] - It's all magic
[willow and oak] -they stop eating because they are now full-
[Gk] But the Overworld came first, doesn't it feel different to you?
[Endrea] Dismisses the void energy-
[Ashe] Yawns and shifts into his dragon form to curl up-
[oak] -climbs on top of his brother ash and curls up as well-
[willow] -is still running around-
[Sweet Alex] Pulls a blanket out of a trunk and covers him up before doing the same for Oak. - Endrea, they can stay here and sleep if you want. I can drag another bed down if you want to join them as well.
[Endrea] - Are you sure? I don't wish to be an intrusion...
[Sweet Alex] Of course not! You're always welcome. Heck Gk crashes here pretty frequently.
[Gk] Grumbles-
[Endrea] - Then thank you, I think I will take you up on that offer
[Sweet Alex] - Sets up a bed for her- Here you go. Gk? Are you staying too?
[Gk] Yawns- Just for a little while. I feel restless.
[willow] -runs around gk-
[Endrea] - Willow, come settle down for a nap
[willow] -stops running around gk then runs to endrea nearly running into the bed-
[Endrea] Laughs and unfurls her wing for Willow to curl up under-
[willow] -curls up happily under endrea wing-
[Doc] Is walking to Lie's house chatting on the carrot phone. Xe closes it up as xe mounts the steps and knocks on the door. - Anybody home?
[Lie] Had been getting some food for Notch- Come on in Doc
[Doc] Hey Lie, how's Markus?
[Lie] - Getting better, I was just about to take him his lunch. CP's currently watching him
[Doc] Yeeeah... about that... can I borrow him for a bit?
[Lie] - Sure, I can watch Notch for a bit for him
[Doc] I'd say you too, but I kinda need someone who can fly... So that would be great. Thank you.
[Lie] - Follow me- She grabs the food she had been preparing and takes it down to the workshop. CP is working on paperwork while sitting next to Notch
[Notch] Hey Doc. - Jingles the little flowers at hir- come to check on me?
[Doc] Amongst other things, yes. How are you feeling?
[Notch] Sucks to be me. But Lie's flowers help a lot.
[CP] Grumbles and puts his paperwork in his inventory-
[Lie] - Here, I've brought you food
[Notch] Takes it gratefully. - Thank you Lie.
[Doc] Hi Cp.
[CP] - What do you want now?
[Doc] Well... I need to run a bit of an errand....
[CP] Groans-
[Doc] There will probably be bloodshed, does that sweeten the deal at least?
[CP] Doc now has his attention-
[Doc] I need something rather large removed from the real world and tossed in here. It's a favor for a friend...
[CP] - What is it?
[Doc] I don't actually know.
[CP] - Okaaaay...
[Doc] But it's for Dawn.
[CP] - Fiiiiiiiine, when do I need to go?
[Doc] Is now okay? Lie already volunteered to sit with Markus.
[CP] - Whatever, their island?
[Doc] Yes please. The tv is still there.
[CP] Flicks his hand to create an opening- Are you coming or no?
[Doc] Yes! - Xe hurries out after him.
[CP] Once through he closes the opening behind them-
[Doc] Is already fussing with hir phone - uh, huh... yeah, just give us a few minutes. - This way- Xe leads them up a well-worn path through the trees.
[CP] Is a little tempted to set some things on fire as they walk-
[Doc] Hurries along. The air is full of calling seabirds and plesant breezes. - What a lovely day.
[CP] - There's been far to many of those...
[Doc] What's that supposed to mean? You want to go somewhere with nasty weather?
[CP] - It gets dull
[Mort] Is pacing in the yard, there's a hint of greenery springing up in the sand where his bare feet have disturbed it. - Oh! Thanks for coming so quickly. Dawn is already prepping the boat, I stayed behind to lead you up the cliff. It's a bit precarious if you don't know the way.
[Doc] You know she had me intrigued from word one.
[CP] Just starts floating-
[Mort] Eyes Cp. - Nice to see you again too...
[CP] - Can we go?
[Mort] Sure. - He leads them around the ridiculously lush garden and up a set of staris on the cliff that are almost a natural formation. As they get higher the crescent shape of the island is more pronunced below them and they turn back down again on the other side of the spine that makes the back edge of the island.
[Dawn] The view up here is amazing...
[Mort] Is picking his way carefully along. - And far more pixels then you're used too huh?
[Doc] I try not to think about it too much. Makes me nauseated.
[CP] - You should see hir when xe gets in front of a mirror
[Doc] -sighs-
[Mort] Calls down as they reach the little dock. The wall is nearly vertical and there's a little wooden pier built into it where the Morgenheutengesternwelt is moored.
[Dawn] Oh good! I was hoping you'd come right away. Hi Cp. Gravity getting on your plums too much today?
[CP] Flips Dawn off- I'm only here because I was promised a fight
[Dawn] Oh you'll get it alright. You remeber the nok right?
[CP] - Yes
[Dawn] This thing is big enough to drive that one onto the damn shore. It's lucky I was feeling merciful. We had to roll it back in the water afterwards like a beached whale.
[CP] - Doc, why do we want this thing on the server?
[Doc] I don't want it. But it doesn't belong here either.
[CP] - So, sub seed?
[Doc] No, It's water based, I think Herabrine might be able to whip it into shape. Or just convince it to go elsewhere on the seed. It might come in handy as a distraction at some point too. Just dump it on a hostile seed or something.
[Mort] Anything, as long as it's not here. It's attracting too much attention to our island.
[CP] - And what if it encounters the water ender dragon when it gets bigger?
[Doc] I don't know? That's going to be a while though.
[CP] - We don't know the growth rate of that one
[Dawn] Well we don't care if it gets it's ass kicked. It's hostile.
[Doc] Is there a reason you're trying to talk me out of this Cp? I think you'd leap at the chance to fight something huge.
[Mort] Snickers- You could always give it to Slenderman to smack around-
[CP] - Oh absolutely, I just don't want Endrea to get pissed if it decides to go after any of the babies
[Doc] I guess we could just tp it far away. It's not like the map of the seed isn't functionally near infinite.
[CP] - Good point
[Dawn] Gestures for them to get on the boat, - shall we then?
[CP] - Fiiiiiiiiiiine
[Mort] Deftly unties the lines and hops aboard as the engine is cranked up. He passes Dawn as she comes down -
[Dawn] I'll hunt, you steer.
[Mort] Got it-
[CP] Sits on the steps-
[Dawn] Gets a pillow out of a box and sits crosslegged in the middle of the deck. She closes her eyes and begins a meditation. Slowly she begins to gesture small directional changes as Mort watches from above, steering the ship into the wind.
[Doc] Is watching over the rail, breathing deeply. The air is full of salt and spray. - Can you feel it?
[Dawn] Maybe... There is more then one monster down there.
[CP] - Boooooooooooored
[Mort] You don't like sailing Cp?
[CP] - Not much of a function in our game and pretty useless when you can teleport
[Dawn] Signals to stop - Two incoming!
[Doc] Runs to the side to look. - There are two v-shaped wakes heading towards them at high speed. The wakes vanish as they get close and Doc runs to the other side to see two sinious, long creatures swimming madly away in the other direction.
-There's a rather dark line of humps following the two creatures at a slower, but more deliberate speed-
[Mort] Holy shit! Look at that!
[CP] - Can I kill it?
[Dawn] Jumps up at the feel of the two passing underneath. - Not permentantly! It would rememerge into this reality somewhere else later and I'd rather it was gone entirely.
-The humps splash downward for a moment to reveal a ponderous tail like a sperm whale.
[CP] - So can I maim it?
-There's a pervading sense of doom hanging around it like a cloak-
[Doc] You might have too! I doubt it's gonna come quietly. Look at the size of that thing....
[CP] Grins and flies up into the sky-
[Beast] Feels the negative energy from the being above it and rolls in the water to snap upwards, sucking it in. It's head is like an alligator and the long jaws are full of sharp white teeth. The eyes are a firey red-
[CP] - Really? I already have two things which feed off of me
[Dawn] Calls out to him - Red eyes are nightmare creatures! Like Slenderman! They're astral beasts, they feed on energy, it's normal!
[CP] - Well it need to knock it the fuck off!- Blasts it with fire
[Beast] Roars horribly - ducking it's head under the cold water again.
[CP] - I WILL FUCKING BOIL YOU OUT OF THE WATER!- Continues blasting with fire
[Beast] Goes deeper to get away-
[Doc] Uh Cp? We want to catch it remember?
[CP] - Well then what do you fucking suggest!?
[Doc] Looks around for any other ships, the horizon is clear so xe hops the rail, transforming as xe mounts the airblocks to look down in the water below. - I'm not sure. That's even bigger then I was expecting.
[CP] - Should I call Endrea? She's about the same size right now, and she should be able to tolerate a few moments in the water now
[Doc] But you have me. I can probably do whatever you'd ask of her with no pain at all.
[CP] - Then get under that thing and drive it upwards you idiot!
[Doc] Poofs a little at his volume. - Humph. - Xe heads for the water with a twisting motion and slides under the surface.
-There's a moment of calm before Doc comes shooting back up with the monster snapping ferociously at hir tail- Shiiiiiitttttt!
[CP] - Oh for fucks sake...- He darts forwards to drag his sword through it's side
[Beast] Is cut but swats at Cp with a flipper easily the size of a car as it breaches.
[CP] Teleports to the other side of the flipper and stabs at it-
[Beast] Falls heavily down into the water as it's stabbed-
[Doc] Shoots low to grab at Cp before he goes under too-
[Dawn] Is yelling over the wind- You drew blood! Hurry and get it out of here before the sharks come!
[CP] - DOC LET GO AND GO DO YOUR THING!
[Doc] Let's him go - You want me to make a portal?! For something that big?!
[CP] - Just restrain it!
[Doc] Oh! - Xe rushes down and takes a breath before diving under the water. There's a tremendous commotion as xe tries to pull the huge animal partly out of the water by it's flippers.
[Beast] Is snapping it's massive jaws wildly and flinging it's head trying to get at the dragon on it's back.
[CP] Concentrates and forces open a tear into the server. He makes the opening near where the small square of blocks leading down to the fortress is-
[Doc] Is quickly loosing hir grip on the slick black skin and shoves it at the hole
[Beast] the lobed tail flips upward to smack Doc-
[CP] Darts down and slams into the creature-
[Beast] Eye's flashing with rage it lets out a pulse of pure fear-
[Doc] Goes white with fright and nearly drops the creature.
[CP] - Weeeeeeeeeeeak, Slender's are worse
[Doc] Desperately shoves the creature towards the hole but only gets it halfway in-
[Beast] Is throwing tons of water into the portal as it thrashes-
[CP] - GO IN YOU FUCKER!
[Beast] Is nearly through and is basically beating Doc against the edge of the portal-
[CP] Flies up and slams into the creature again-
[Beast] Pops through and goes suddenly still, sinking into the pixelated water of the server as it's resolution goes down-
[Doc] Manages to land awkwardly on the small tube of stone that leads down to the fortress.
[CP] Floats in the air and closes the opening- Damn fucking thing...
[Beast] Kind of floats back up to the surface, it's moving strangely now that it's long body is more like a series of blocks on a string.
[Doc] What a monster...
[CP] - You're the one who decided to bring it here
[Doc] I'm reffering to the size more then anything. It's just an animal.
[CP] - You should probably let TLOT know about it
[Doc] I'm already on it. - Xe typing in the chat with hir fat claws.
[Lie] Is sitting with Notch and see's her mate and Doc return- Well that didn't take long...
[Beast] Rolls over sideways and fixes one beady eye on Cp. It opens it's mouth in a weak hiss.
[CP] - Oh just fuck off already!
[Beast] Wiggles a bit and paddles in the water
[Doc] I bet this water is warmer then it's used too. Plus we probably wore it out.
[CP] - Whatever, I'm heading back home
[Doc] Thanks for the help Cp.
[CP] Flips Doc off-

Ahh my favorite oc so far~ I just love her personality, the way she speaks and was my third oc that was first used in my transormers rp group on Quotev. Finally got around to finishing her ref~! If you want to roleplay with me using this character, click here for my information! Designation: (Formerly)Thunderstream, Doubleglitch Nicknames: Speed Queen, DG, Double-G Gender: Femme Faction: (Formerly) Decepticon, Autobot Species: Cybertronian Sparkmate/Conjunx Endura: N/A Amica Endura N/A Charge: N/A Personality: Confident- Doubleglitch is confident in herself and what she believes in, and often gets called the optimistic 'bot in the team. Self appreciative- What can she say besides the fact she looks good? Doubleglitch knows she looks good, but she isn't obsessed with it to the point where any dent in her frame makes her panic. She just appreciates herself all in all. Capable- Doubleglitch is capable of handling herself in a fight, and rarely calls for backup unless she's certain she can't do it alone. Independent- She doesn't like asking help from others, and often times she doesn't even need it. She can handle herself well enough. Impatient- Doubleglitch doesn't like waiting, and any klik spent waiting is another klik wasted in her view. Sassy- The femme is rather bold, doesn't back down from just any mech or femme and isn't against giving a couple people a hard time. Flirt- Any good looking mech she finds she'll try her luck on them. Of course, it's mainly for fun and she's not looking for a relationship. Encouraging- She doesn't like to see other 'bots and humans down in the dumps, and tries her best to lift their spirit. Bipedal mode: Medium-build. Alt-Mode: McLaren 650S MSO Spider Occupation: Scout Weaponry: Electric whip, blaster, standard close combat. Strengths: Weaknesses: Stats (1-10) Strength: 7 Defense: 6 Speed: 10 Intelligence: 6 Rank: 5 Charisma: 7 Biography: She was a Point One Percenter created on Delta, capital city of Velocitron. Raised by two famous racers that participated in Lacon 5000 and Spedia 500, they stressed the idea of their sparkling accomplishing their long-term goal of winning the Spedia 500. Originally, they named her Thunderstream. As a sparkling, her carrier and sire's parenting style(authoritarian parenting style) easily developed her once naïve and optimistic nature into a shy, low self-esteem personality with the perspective obedience meant affection. Thundersteam spent the majority of her life training with her carrier and sire the moment she could transform, often times driving until her energy could no longer sustain her- on one rare occasion she even went into stasis lock for the amount of energy depletion on her part (along with her parents deciding 'hey, I'm tired' isn't a good excuse to stop driving). Outside of training, Thunderstream began feeling the urge to have an actual relationship that wasn't based on the practice of speed, going into this 'rebelling stage'. She would hang around other Velocitronians, but due to her lack of experience in social interaction made it a challenge to make friends. Nevertheless, she managed to make one more-or-less friend, Sunstrider. He convinced her to leave the city and accompany him and his brother, who could provide her a place outside the city. She accepted, and the two left without her saying goodbye to her parents. They arrived to the ship Sunstrider owned and introduced her to Moonstalker, whom she quickly befriends. The group stay together for awhile, Sunstrider often initiating races between the two which quickly improved Thundersteam's competitive side. Moonstalker, meanwhile, provided strolls where the two could communicate with each other without worry of being seen differently. Sunstrider slowly begins convincing her to participate in activities she otherwise wouldn't do as they travel in the ship around Velocitron. Thundersteam is aware of this, however follows along because she considers him a friend. The group eventually decides to travel to Cybertron, using the ship to do so. While on this travel Sunstrider starts advancing on the femme, leading to a relationship much to Moonstalker's worries. The femme, however, claims there was nothing wrong in it. The ship arrives to Cybertron, landing not too far from where Kaon is located. Time passes and they're regarded as talented racers from the many events held around the area, forming a rivalry between Sunstrider and Thunderstream to discover who's the fastest. The rivalry seeps into their relationship, and the relationship becomes on-and-off until Moonstalker finally convinces her it's toxic relationship. Despite her growing pride and confidence, she listens to her friends words and leaves the split-sparks to start new elsewhere. Successfully, she lives in a decepticon populated area with rumors of a decent racer around the area, though she wasn't ready to bring up her reputation here. Instead, she focused on befriending the locals- and found an unlikely friendship with a scientist named Aeroviper. With a friend and the urge to expel the ever growing energy in her frame, Thunderstream sets out to race once more. The scout grows a reputation around the area, the friend she made checking in on her between her job and the two become close. So much so, the seeker even takes time to watch a couple races Thunderstream participates in. As the war begins to brew and Aeroviper tries to convince her to join the autobots, Thunderstream isn't convinced until she sees the decepticons killing other 'bots. She joined the faction for their ideal world- where the caste was gone. Not a bloodbath towards a whole other goal. So, Thunderstream attempts to convince her old friend Moonstalker to join her as an autobot- who reluctantly agrees after commenting on how Sunstrider has changed during the war. The two then flee Kaon to join Aeroviper, who takes them to the autobots. Another attempt at a fresh life- the femme lives in Iacon as an autobot. Although the transition was difficult and many of the opposing faction viewing her as untrustworthy, the femme managed to find a home in the city. She changes her designation to Doubleglitch from then on. The past has a funny way of finding her, unfortunately, as Doubleglitch is met with Sunstrider after a mission she and a few others had- the femme having been caught by her old friend and taken away from the battlefield. The two exchanged words, Sunstrider taking notice of her lack of confidence and increase in flirtation and nature to keep talking as though afraid of slipping into the thoughts of her processor. Yet again she gets herself stuck in the toxic relationship- sneaking out whenever possible to visit the decepticon. During one time however, the mech convinced her to accompany him back to the ship they once traveled in. Once within the familiar area, the femme quickly notices the advances Sunstrider is doing but doesn't stop him. Thus, the decepticon manages to get her on his berth and, well, interface. The two continuously meet each other until Aeroviper discovers who Doubleglitch is sneaking to. Taking matters in her own hands, the seeker takes the scout off to other autobots in the attempt to get Doubleglitch help. Sure enough, the femme spent time in counseling and improved, and was taken out of missions once it was discovered she was carrying another spark, the offspring of her fling with Sunstrider. The spark turns out to be a split spark, the two new cybertronians in the world being fit within similar frames of one another. The crimson plated sparkling is named Joltraider while the black plated one is designated Phaseshift. Leaves the planet with a small group of other autobots once the war finished off Cybertron, arriving to earth and landed in France. She along with her sparklings took earthern vehicle modes, and eventually met with Aeroviper again after her seeming disappearance. They weren't the only ones to arrive to earth, however- for a group of decepticons landed elsewhere. Now the two factions compete in their own small war part of the bigger picture. When the femme isn't on duty, she enjoys her breaks by racing against humans , and through these races she was crowned the 'Speed queen', her alt-mode famous among racers. It had also led to a growth in fans, much to the Autobot groups dislike- as it could cause problems for her and them if they found out what she is. This leads to her growing tired of the constant limit, where she can't do what she wants because of these rules weighing her down. As a result, Doubleglitch primarily spends her time outside of the base unless needed, burning her thoughts out on the road with any human or 'bot that dares challenge her. Nicknames she gives others: Sugar spice- Someone who is a bit troublesome but she can handle. Doll- A good friend of hers. Sugar- General nickname to everyone Pal- Nickname given to those she does not particularly like/ getting on her nerves. Quotes: "I'm the fastest femme around. Think you can handle the challenge?" "Pal, you're getting on my nerves." "Don't worry about me sugar, I got this." "Hey sugar, wha'cha need?" "You are what people call, 'fauteur de troubles'." Extra: Holoform- Beauty Queen Jessica. Jessica appears a lot, often times riding herself (not in uh- that way.), just to see how it feels being human. She typically has a cigar or gum, an dis known for flirting with human males before speeding off. Although she's proud to be an Autobot, sometimes it weighs her down. She wants to be able to race against others without someone telling her 'no' if they found out. During Doubleglitch's time as a decepticon, she was incredibly competitive and acted akin to a human's 'highschool popular girl' type. As an autobot, her competitive style simmered and she became considerate towards others. Has a habit of speaking in French if she's nervous, angry, or genuinely in a good mood. Thunderstream took on the designation Doubleglitch once she joined the autobots. Doubleglitch meant to the femme her changes in life, from Decepticon to Autobot and a 'glitch' in the system. Using Doubleglitch's real designation at any point of time will stop her from doing anything, depending on when it's used. If it's used speaking to her on a serious topic you can bet she's going to take it seriously from that point on. If it's used during a fight it can make her hesitate, and some cases even cause her to panic. Using it in other times when you aren't considered a friend of hers can cause her to scoff and become nervous, and sometimes correct you to call her Doubleglitch. Close friends calling her this casually uplift her spirit. If you really want to get on her nerves, threatening her sparklings in any way, shape or form will definitely do the trick. Whenever there's a rumor of a car that could rival her, she heads straight away to the next race that person is in to prove everyone wrong about them. Not wanting to e a burden, Doubleglitch keeps her complaints and worries to herself which often has a negative effect on her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jviZGERpqg (Voice is the main singer/girl with the red scrunchie also regarding the music video.) Doubleglitch and Aeroviper are close friends, and the only femme she feels more comfortable with sharing her feelings with. Transformers belongs to Hasbro. I merely own the character.

The character portion of the application can be found under the cut. First of all, I was not expecting that image and I love!! I laughed honestly but ohh save him. I like how Constantin comes from a powerful being and a witch but ends up so sickly and how he becomes a doctor! This weakness of his really comes into play in his background and you can see how it influences his work and his personality with him being sort of used to illnesses and all. Bust still, he seems like a reliable doctor! I’m sure of it. Anyway, welcome to Dahlthir. The doctor is in!!
Other Characters: N/A
Faceclaim(s) & Series: Own art! (Click the [x] under appearance)
Character Name: Constantin Delacour
Housing: Personal housing - Leafbent Clinic Age: 26
Appearance: [x] Additional notes:
- He’s roughly 5′9″ ft / 175 cm in height
- His nose and cheeks seem to be almost constantly a slightly ruddy color - he claims ambiguous allergies, which he… almost constantly seems to be inflicted by. Even in winter. He swears up and down he’s not contagious, but will wear a mask when he’s seeing patients for additional reassurance.
- The weird claw-like thing in his ear is the talon of a newly regenerated phoenix; his mother enchanted it and gave it to him before he left. It’s purpose is to keep him from killing himself via throwing too much magic at something, but he thinks this is embarrassing and makes him sound like he’s five years old. Still, the reassurance is nice, so he claims he keeps it for sentiment instead. Otherwise, he’s partial to wooden jewelry for reasons he can’t entirely explain.
- Yes, the weird violet color of his irises is natural. His mother claims he got them from his father, although considering he’s needed to wear glasses since age 7, he doesn’t see a whole lot of appeal in that.
- He has a lot of moles. He jokes that he uses them to store viruses between flu seasons so he never actually looks well.
- The bow/tie combo isn’t a fashion statement, he just doesn’t know how to tie a tie properly and improvised.

Are they a part of the Adventurer’s Guild? (Recruit or Full Member): Nope, although he’d be happy to patch up any and all members regardless of rank!
Warnings: Nonspecific chronic illness and mild kinda-sorta eugenics mentions ahead

Personality:
+ Kindhearted :// Although not an adventurer for… obvious reasons… Constantin is always happy to help. Whether at 3 AM or minutes before the clinic is SUPPOSED to close, rain or snowstorm, the doctor is always in. If he’s not, he will find a way to be in. Nobody is turned away from his doorstep if he can help it.
+ Personable :// After growing up largely isolated from the rest of the world, Dr. Delacour has, in his adult years, become something akin to a golden retriever trapped in a human body. Regardless of how large, ugly, scary, or rude someone is, Constantin is absolutely ecstatic to meet you.
+ Hard-working:// Whatever the job is, Constantin is always ready to put his all into it to make sure it gets done! Which… isn’t always in his or anyone’s best interest. Because…
- Workaholic :// Although well aware of his condition and the idea that he has limits, Constantin tends to push past what’s good for him more often than not… usually by claiming that he’s fine and can “definitely keep going” while running on approximately three hours of sleep and eight cups of coffee. Anything short of banishing him from the clinic will probably lead to him thinking of SOMETHING to do.
- Insensitive :// Constantin tends to be too blase about medical matters for his own good at times, causing question if he actually takes his job (or his own health) seriously. As someone who’s ill on a regular basis, such trifles no longer trouble him… which, while good for preventing him from panicking, does little to assure patients who expect their concerns to be heeded with a little more than a handwave and “here, drink this”.
- Scatterbrained:// On a similar vein, Dr. Delacour is… a bit of an airhead. Although he’s had yet to mix up a prescription or forget what needs to be done to help his patients, when left with just about any other task, he has a tendency to get lost in thought. Talking to him alone probably won’t bring him back to –earth, but making a loud noise or prodding him probably will.

Background:
The first and only son of an immensely powerful being that gave no name and an ambitious but powerful witch looking to build a successor to rival the gods themselves, Constantin surprised his mother after he was born not a prodigy, but an incredibly frail and sickly child. Due to the nature of the union, Constantin was brought into the world with a rare ailment that bound the energy that sustained his life and the reservoir from which he would draw his magic from the same pool. Due to being young and unable to control his energies, he would often find himself drained and fatigued from the simple effort of getting up to walk - which would then put him in bed with a high fever for the rest of the day. Disappointed, but not wanting to lose her investment (summoning alone is very time and resource consuming!), his mother had him stay inside for much of his childhood.
During that time, young Constantin’s only real friend was books. Although his mother would do what she could to teach him to control his magic, he was prone to tiring easily, and she was a busy woman. He read about just about everything - history, heroes, plants and their uses in specific spells, a number of aged texts he didn’t understand but liked the way the runes looked… by 9, he had read just about everything brought into the house in between practice and extended periods of rest. By that time, however, growth and the witch’s teachings combined had begun to work, and he was able to function on the activity level of the average 70 year old at a bingo hall. It was then, the witch decided, that it was time for her son’s proper training to begin.
And so, for another 10 years, Constantin’s mother attempted to train him in her arts. Due to the cost it had on his energies, Constantin had no talent for offensive magic; to manifest the elements on a whim, or even so much as stir an existing flame exhausted him considerably. What he did take to, however, was healing - his mother discovered that, although he had difficulty with his own energies, he was able to unconsciously manipulate latent capacities for magic in others in order to help them help themselves. The worse the injury, or the worse the other being’s inclination to magic, the more he would have to pour in himself; but otherwise, Constantin was a conduit of sorts.
It was within that revelation at age 17 that Constantin decided, knowing what he knew about medicinal plants, that he wanted to be a medic. His mother, seeing her project potentially bearing fruit could learn to draw that energy out of others and keep it within himself, agreed. Surely, it would not be such a bad thing if he learned some control. She had him finish up her tutelage at home in the Umbrdawn Mountains for two more years until, when satisfied he wouldn’t immediately die the moment he ventured out from under her wing, she escorted him down to the village below… or, at least until she’d reached city limits. At which point, she gave him a kiss on the cheek, told him to write, and departed for home.
As anyone would expect, the villagers didn’t exactly take kindly to a weird, gangly man showing up in the dead of night, and initially took him for a burglar. Constantin ended up spending his first few days in civilization not in the inn but behind bars, which was perhaps for the best, as neither he nor his mother had ever actually used currency anyway and mostly just harassed bandits until they did their bidding. It wasn’t until Constantin healed an injured woman that was brought to the cell across from him with nothing but a hand over the wound that they realized he came bearing no ill will. They put him to apprentice under the old doctor, who was less than pleased by this development, but put up with his enthusiastic (and socially oblivious) new student anyway.
Eventually, the doctor passed on, leaving a 24 year old Constantin in charge of Leafbent Clinic. He’s now more than happy to greet anyone who comes through its doors with a smile and readiness to help.

Level: 1
General Powers/Abilities/Unusual Traits Description: Doctor Delacour is, as you might expect, very proficient with healing based magic. Although he can’t quite cure poison or a deathly illness at the wave of a hand, easing pain to nothing and mending open wounds shut without a trace of a scar is no problem for him. However, the act of ‘healing’ through magic can be exhausting - the larger the wound, the more time he’ll need in order to recover from healing it. Much like a surgeon taking a 24 hour day to assure a patient pulls through, if Constantin pours all of his energy into a wound, he’ll likely need to take it easy for at least a month following the effort. He’s more prone to taking ill himself once he drains his reservoir.
To compensate for his lack of ability to dismiss poisons and the like, however, he’s taken to studying traditional medicine alongside what magic he does know. Need something bandaged, or a medicine made to cure your cold? He’s your guy. Unfortunately, due to having so little energy to begin with until he was able to gain some control over his magic, he neglected training with any sort of weapon. Thus, taking a trip with him would likely be more akin to an escort mission than anything.
Specific Powers/Abilities/Traits of Note: Constantin is essentially a rechargable magical battery in human form. He has the natural ability to siphon life energy out of other living things in order to add to his own power, which he can then channel into whatever he likes. Beyond taking very little from others when absolutely necessary to help him patch a wound, however, he has never utilized this potential for any purpose.. and, in fact, tends to stay well below his own optimal limit.
Extra: he’s a loser
