Still very proud I:

- Among others I felt were important to add to what the core established, made it so we added Carmilla to Aether the moment I got the chance to be a dev in The Aethernaut Collection (and thanks to her author for the great work!)

- Came up with the fake name "Millicent Karr" for her in a one-shot I ran, which is very suspect (Millicent Karr, Karr Millicent, Karr Mille, Carmilla) and thus totally on brand for Countess Mircalla "Carmilla" Von Karstein.

...I like to think I was a good fit and did good work developing for Aether books.

[aether-the-bakugannie]

Hey so I've been watching Bakugan gen 3 if anyone wants to talk about that.

My personal opinion is that it's really good and I love how Dan's had character development so he cares about more than just brawling and realises he's good at things that aren't brawling too. BakuChaos members might have just seen me assume they were going to remove that character development and for that I apologize because I assumed too quickly and forgot bakugan is not just any other series, they keep their character development and let their main characters take a step back so others can shine sometimes.

Still though, I was absolutely infuriated for a few seconds when I thought they were going to go back on the character development like..? I've done that exact thing before as a writer, trick the audience into thinking there'll be a cliche but then have something else happen instead. I now understand how evil that writing style is.

My favorite character in gen three so far is definitely Mia, I don't even know why, she's just so cool and I love her character and design <3

If we're talking ships.... Junomia ftw, I haven't really found myself really properly vibing with many other ships yet but Juno and Mia are so real.

I absolutely love how Dan and TC are brothers too, that's such a fun thing for them to add in, found family is always a favorite thing of mine to see in shows.

Also can I just mention Griffin is such a fun character he's just a lovable nerd who loves manga and cartoons like the fandom do, he's absolutely great.

Loving the other clans too, Backslash is probably my favorite of the clan leaders but I do love Raven too, her design is so pretty and her personality is so interesting too.

Everytime I remember Rip and Razor have the same voice actors as gen 2 Dan and Drago, I'm shocked, they're still voicing hilarious characters though. And Jay sharing a voice actor with Magnus? That's such a shift in characters.

I'll probably make another post about gen 3 soon but for now this is just me rambling with some thoughts about it.

Your TC lore

hand it over.

NEOW

HIEEEEEEEEEEEE HI BESTIE.

Okay so, like, firstly, time period: The TC lore is set in early versions of minecraft which, to me, function like a somewhat-medieval fantasy sort of vibe. Much more focused on magic than tech, larger kingdoms and such rather than, like, cities n shit. Y'know? Anyways.

Silly character stuff! :D

Sky was Crown Prince of the Aether, but he left his duties a long time ago to live in the Overworld. He's presently residing as the General of an Overworld kingdom's army, though he eventually gets elected leader. (Elective monarchy !!!) Roughly ~23. Demigod(?? Herobrine's kid).

Lox is their best friend, they've known each other basically since Sky got to the Overworld. He arrived there himself not long before Sky did! Although Lox came from the Underworld. He's a Lampade, a nymph of the Underworld! Looks like a ghost/spirit, and doesn't really have a clear age but appears about 22-23 as well. Lives in Sky's kingdom as well although he doesn't really have a job, he's just an absolute menace to society. They meet Jerome next -- he doesn't live in the kingdom, rather in a forest a fair bit away from it. He's a pretty standard hybrid, just a bear -- specifically a Kodiak bear! He's about 21 and he mostly just makes money from hunting and stuff like that. Husky's next! He's a Merling, specifically an axolotl. (If you wanna get even more particular, he's a lavender axolotl. :3) He takes up living in the kingdom himself a while after he meets the group; he fancies himself something of a scientist! He's about 24.

Jason comes after! He is a Starborne, specifically that of a yellow supergiant. He meets the group after he quite literally crashes down to Earth; originally he tries to find a way back, but eventually he relents and settles in the Overworld. He's also quite the scientist, specifically interested in biology and the like of other hybrids. He's also both the oldest and the youngest of the group -- physically, he looks to be around seventeen years old. Literally / chronologically, he's actually a few hundred THOUSAND years old. (This is, actually, very young for a star, hence the discrepancy.)

They meet Seto next -- he, similarly to Jason, gets trapped outside of his proper home. He's an alchemist from the End (being an Enderborne specifically), and got caught in a severe rainstorm while on an expedition of sorts to the Overworld for materials, causing him to get lost and lose the portal. He settles in fairly quickly, though, and finds he quite likes being in the Overworld -- even if some people are.. less than kind to other-dimensional hybrids (especially those of the End, given their, uh... high tensions).

Finally, Bajan! Jerome has actually known Bajan the longest, knowing him a good few years before everyone else. Bajan is a sentient (life-sized) ball-jointed doll. He doesn't know it, but he was originally created as a replacement for his creator's ("Dad's") deceased son. Jerome found him in a VERY decrepit house on a hunting trip one day; Bajan himself was fine (largely due to not needing to eat/sleep/etc), but the house was in total disrepair following his creator's death. While Bajan was TAUGHT how to fix these sorts of things, mobility issues stemming from being.. well, a doll, led to them just being too hard for him to do on his own. Jerome convinced him to leave and go with him, and they were living together since! Bajan also gave everyone else (namely Sky and Lox) fucking heart attacks when they first met, due to Bajan's. Entire existence, really. His face can't move to make expressions and his mouth doesn't move when he speaks, rather he has a voicebox in his chest, so the general reaction was "HEY WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT". He also has kind of an odd age. He was made to be around his early 20s, but if we go off the amount of time he, himself, has actually EXISTED, he'd only be, like..... six. (Everyone's chill with Bajan now, though. Jason and Seto are VERY interested in his existence for science reasons.)

He was back working in Falucci’s the next day when Mrs. Santiago came in, tacos in hand. She seemed unusually happy, or maybe she’d tasted a particularly spicy chili and her mouth had just frozen that way. “What do you want,” he said warily. “What makes you think I want something, what kind of person do you think I am, young man?” Mrs. Santiago demanded, strange smile disappearing to be replaced by a more comforting glare. “I only come when I want something?” Well, yeah. “Um.”

“You can stay here tonight,” Aaron offered. 

The night was dark, the air so cold against the glass panes that frost had formed at the corners and was creeping its way along all the edges. They could hear the wind blowing past the house, the airstreams breaking like waves on the bricks. There was no storm promised and yet it could be heard brewing out in the darkness. Brontide grumbled as it made its way closer, as though even the thunder was grumpy to be caught outside on such an unforgiving night. 

“Right Momma?” He looked at her. 

She hesitated, taken by surprise. “Well, sure, but do we have room? We only have one guest room.” 

“Two, technically. I’ve been staying in the garage with Danny, so someone can have my room.” 

Twirling some spaghetti on his fork to scoop it onto a slice of garlic bread, Riley said, “Jimmy sleeps better on a couch.” 

“If I sleep,” Jimmy amended for him, and Riley accepted the correction with a shrug.

[hellbentrapture]

Behold, the new character: Cyladel (he/him), Aasimar and Cleric of Corellon Larethian (God of Elves and Nature). The plan is to multi-class into Druid, and do a thorough exploration of everything I can.

This will be my third playthrough, the plan is to be closer to Lawful Good, with a focus on nature. So it means I will probably romance Halsin this time. I need a palette cleanser after the Durge playthrough lolcry. Mod list below the read more...

I haven't thoroughly checked for redundancies or incompatibilities but it seems to be running fine for me so far! If you use any of the gear mods and/or the aasimar mod, I recommend playing on Balanced or higher for difficulty - otherwise you'll be particularly overpowered lol. ((If anyone finds a bug, redundancies, or such, please let me know!))

I didn't play with most of these mods for my first two playthroughs - just cosmetics and the improved UI.

All Character TidBits So Far

Long post ahead:

Here are all Character Bios that have been published so far. Spoiler Free (sorta)

 -

Name: Francis Elias Montgomery

Codename: Prestige

Age: 16/17

DoB: August 29

Race: Mixed (Mother's black, father's white)

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Gray

Height: 6'2

Costume: Grey/Light blue vintage military/airforce jacket, slate gray pants, knee-high boots. Ruffled cravat or aviator scarf, sometimes single epaulette with a short cape. Slate gray domino mask.

Powers: Photokinesis, enhanced agility and durability.

Francis is the son of Mayor Temitope Montgomery and Arthur Montgomery. It's not clear what kind of person he is. He can be extremely kind and charming, but switch to moody and secretive, or vicious and condescending at the drop of a hat.

He's avoids social contacts out of school, often burying himself in his room, studying. His only 'friends' seem to be Taylor Redford and his posse, though he seems to have a decent enough relationship with Trudie and Fern.

He seems mortally afraid that his parents might find out about the former.

He's stubborn as all Hells, often acting without thinking and rushing into action, in and out of custom. His photokinetic powers are well-developed, and he specializes on illusions and small solid light constructs.

He has an ongoing rivalry with Marcus, can't stand jokes about his height, and is allergic to pollen.

Has a younger sister, Lori.

---

Name: Gabriel Mendoza

Codename: FreezeFrame

Gender: male (trans)

Age: 33

DoB: February 18

Race: Latino (Puerto Rican)

Hair: Black

Eyes: Green

Height: 5'6

Costume: Black hooded bodysuit with purple highlights, heavy-duty boots with purple laces, purple domino mask

Powers: Chronokinesis, limited Cryokinesis

FreezeFrame is a skilled chrono- and cryokinetic, and rather foul-mouthed. He takes great pride in being a 'villain' even though many that know him would disagree that he is one. He tends to do the 'right and good' thing a little 'too often', and his villainous efforts are a little... intriguing. He hates when people think of him as a hero, left alone claim that he has the heart in the right place. (Truth be told, he's still flattered when he thinks no one's looking)

He is a quick thinker, capable of assessing situations at first or second glance. Unfortunately he is even quicker at acting, often jumping into the fray before the first glance reached his brain. He can be a bit disorganized, sometimes forgetting his powers in the heat of the moment.

He's a Nightfall veteran, and even before that had an ongoing rivalry going with MetaMorphia, which developed into a consensual, mutual hateship. They hooked up after the great Unmasking.

---

Name: Ian Rattray

Gender: male (cis)

Age: 34

DoB: June 12

Race: Latino (Puerto Rican)

Hair: Dark brown

Eyes: brown/hazel

Height: 6'9

Ian is the younger (4 minutes 42 seconds) of two twins. He's quite a bit of a bookworm, preferring burrowing himself in the library or at home over meeting with people. This does not mean he prefers not to interact with others. He's at his simultaneously best and worst when he can talk to people and share information. His biggest short-coming is that he can talk very fast and without any form of punctation.

The worst thing one can do to him (especially then) is to either just pretend to have any interest, or to tell him to shut up. Then Ian tends to retreat into himself and become short worded.

He's kind and usually collected, bit of the embodiment of the idea of a gentle giant. However there are things he despises to speak about, especially The Gloom and his brother Jamie. He can also be rather secretive when he thinks involving others would harm them.

He has a very odd relationship with Heatstroke, speaks fluent german and can't cook, except for desserts.

---

Name: Travis Roland

Codename: Switchblade

Gender: male (cis)

Age: 43

DoB: January 9

Race: Black

Hair: Dark brown

Eyes: brown/hazel

Height: 6'7

FaceClaim: Idris Elba

Costume: A black leather combat suit with steel grey lines on the fingers, a hood and a half-mask. It's smooth and full of sharp angles at the same time.

Powers: Weapon-Summoning

Before Nightfall Switchblade was known as one of the most dangerous and vicious villains in all of Cornucopia. A gun (and literally all other kinds of weapons) for hire, he had contacts all throughout CoCi's underworld.

He's been responsible for a long list of robberies and kidnappings, and a longer list of property damage. He has, however, rarely killed people (regular or with powers) outside of collateral damage, as he deems that too simple. Truth be told he considers killing out of sheer bloodlust a waste of time.

His speciality are weapons to counter his opponents the best, one of the reasons he has quite a bit of a god-complex.

He's snarky, grumpy and condescending, and, much to his dismay, an odd kind of caring in his core. As much as he delights seeing others fail, there often comes a point where he gets so frustrated by it that he'll jump in to set people straight. He hates that fact.

This trait is also the reason why he's part of the Unmasked Generation, and why he became a coach at the new-founded APORIA. Because he (quote) 'can't trust those morons (heroes) with a whole new generation. They got us Odium, can't have that again'.

His personality has marginally improved (maybe because he is aware the whole city now has his eyes on him), but he still has it out for a couple of people. Powerhouse and Marcus especially.

---

Name: Joshua St John

Codename: Powerhouse

Gender: male (cis)

Age: 39

DoB: ???

Race: white

Hair: light brown if grown out, but he keeps his head shaved

Eyes: green/brown (right), electricity (left)

Height: 6'1

FaceClaim: ?

Costume: Gold and black bodysuit with silver piping, no mask.

Powers: Electrokinesis

There's not much known about Powerhouse before the events of Nightfall.

He's always been regarded as overly pessimistic, snarky and quite a bit of a loner. He is, however, very full of himself and his ego is one of the best ways to get him to cooperate.

He delights in being a hero (as snarky as he is), but tends to overwork himself, especially once children are involved. There might be something in his past (that Switchblade and Kaleydoscope knew about) that's the reason for this.

He was also one of the main reason for the CHIPPER (CHImeran and Powered People Equity Regulation), which finally prohibited employers etc from putting Powered Individuals (especially Chimerans) at any form of disadvantage.

It might have been that CHIPPER caught on faster than some other laws of similar nature One due to CoCi's very nature, and Two, who would genuinely want to mess with someone who can turn one's organs inside out, acting as if oneself is by nature superior? (Unfortunately, there have been and are people who... don't have much common sense or human decency... but they're getting fewer)

Powerhouse retired after Nightfall, settling down to become an electrician (St John Electrics), but he keeps a wary eye on Switchblade, who went to work at the newly founded APORIA.

Rumors have it that he turned to the EMPeror to help him with his right arm, which was turning more and more into uncontrollable electricity.

---

Name: Chloe Fairchild

Codename: Bacchanalia

Gender: female (cis)

Age: 24 (possible)

DoB: ???

Race: white

Hair: blonde

Eyes: gray

Height: 5'4

FaceClaim: ???

Costume: Gray hooded cape, domino mask.

Powers: Alcokinesis

Bacchanalia was one of the youngest Powered Individuals fighting at Nightfall. She's been a shy and quiet young girl with the bizarre power of conjuring and manipulating alcohol (she never liked that).

She tried to prove herself as a hero, but vanished before the final battle.

It's not clear what exactly became of her, but given the circumstances of her disappearance she might have willingly joined Odium.

She was said to be easily influenced by others, so many do believe in that theory.

Digging deeper into her history afterwards revealed that she had come from a quite unhappy home and had caused her parents' (mother and stepfather) deaths through alcohol poisoning.

Her biological father is working hard on redeeming her name.

---

Name: Lionel Donovan

Codename: Scorn

Gender: male (cis)

Age: 51

DoB: October 23

Race: white

Hair: black

Eyes: black

Height: 6'4

FaceClaim: Ed Quinn

Powers: Umbrakineis, Power-Theft, Teleportation

Lionel Donovan is one of the most dangerous people in Cornucopia.

By all official means a legit businessman, it's an open (but legally unprovable) secret that he is the head of one of CoCi's worst criminal organizations.

Scorn is regarded as as ruthless as he is cunning, but indisputably fair. Most people that cross him even show up alive again.

His official businesses range from casinos to hotels to shipping companies across town, his unofficial ones... are the same in a much darker shade of moral and lethality.

The most well-known (infamous) establishment of the latter kind is a nightclub/aether-den called Bliss, located on the fourth ring of the TC-D. The Bliss had been the property of the Jade Empress around 15 years ago, before she made the fatal mistake of kidnapping Scorn's son Colby (Naught), trying to press money and property out of Scorn.

It's not clear if (and if, how) the Jade Empress survived this misstep, but her demise secured Scorn the control over the third and fourth ring. Only recently someone using the alias of Jade Empress surfaced as the head of the organization controlling the fifth to eighth ring, but it's not clear if this is the same woman, someone using her name, or if there even is an actual person.

Scorn is a most talented umbrakinetic, teleporter and power-thief, quite a bit of a bon vivant and a widower. As ruthless and cold as he is in business, as caring and loving he is as a father.

---

Name: Marcus Hayes

Codename: SnapShot

Gender: male (cis)

Age: 17

DoB: May 30

Race: Race: Mixed (Mother's latina, father's mixed (black/white))

Hair: black

Eyes: hazel/brown

Height: 5'9

FaceClaim: Aramis Knight

Costume: A black leather long coat with an unhealthy amount of zippers, black jeans and t-shirt, black half-mask covering eyes, nose and cheeks.

Powers: Picturakinesis, Enhanced agility and speed.

Marcus is the only child of Catalina and Sawyer Hayes. He's a decently skilled picture-manipulator, though he seems unable to use his powers on colored images. He blames this inability on a lot of outside factors, first and foremost his ongoing rivalry with Francis, as well as Switchblade who he's convinced is out for him.

His rivalry with Francis is a mystery to their common associates, as only the two seem to know what started it. Some do suspect that it has something to do with a combination of Marcus and Francis' social backgrounds and even more so the unknown fate of Marcus' father and the resulting depression of his mother.

Marcus is convinced that the hero Eclipse and his father are the same person, though his sole prove is the fact that they both went missing the same night. This believe has traces of an obsession.

His father and Francis are topics to piss Marcus off beyond anything, at all other times he's easy-going, friendly and helpful. His tendency to pepper his speech with puns is either his biggest strength or worst weakness. It's certainly one reason Francis dislikes him.

---

Name: Temitope Montgomery

Codename: La Mode

Gender: female (cis)

Age: 44

DoB: May 19

Race: Black

Hair: dark brown

Eyes: light brown

Height: 5'5

FaceClaim: Kerry Washington

Costume: A golden or bronze domino mask and a catsuit of the same color, along with myriads of lengths of fabric floating around her if they don't pull together to a tunic like garment over the catsuit. Knee-high silver boots.

Powers: Fabrikinesis, Enhances strength, speed and agility

Temitope's been a famed opera singer (yes, she did play Queen of the Night, and yes, she can still hit those notes), and decided to go into politics shortly after the foundation of APORIA. There's rumors that at least one of her parents is a Slider, but no one knows for certain.

She is as kind as she can be determined and focused, which has brought her good reputation in her professions. As La Mode she is a fabrikinetic with enhanced strength and speed.

She's been one of the initiators of the Nightfall Initiative, alongside her husband, and her arch-rival Madame Tarantula. La Mode and Madame had both heard rumors of the two have them having had children and both felt it was their responsibility to do something against Odium for the sake of the coming generation.

Tem has always been juggling her careers and family, and by her own account it has gotten easier since the Grand Unmasking. She is currently determined to find the weakness in Scorn's official image to finally bring him down.

Artemis is the self-proclaimed threshold between Powered Individuals and Hero-dom. Which translates to them being the receptionist at APORIA's Assessment Unit. They are snarky as all Hell, have no nerve for ignorance, but are usually good natured. Maybe they enjoy winding people up a little too much.

The higher-ups at APORIA might be the only ones (besides Artemis' parents) who know Artemis' first name (though there's speculation that Artemis IS their first name).

They're a skilled weapon-summoner and telekinetic, but tend to overstep lines on a regular basis, getting them into trouble with people like Switchblade often enough. Nevertheless they are part of Unit 11, SPIRID's most... peculiar team.

Word find tag

Thank you to the wonderful @blind-the-winds for the tag!! I’ll fill these out from that marinating wip on death/grief/family, in the hopes it’ll spur me to writing some more of it...

Right: (drug discussion)

“Food?” he asked, throwing the broom aside.

Miguel hunched over the plastic Tupperware Sienna handed him. “Nope. It’s a drug deal, Charlie, look away.”

Charlie threw his head back and laughed. “Yeah right, like you would ever be so weak as to sink into that shit, Garcia-Quezadas.”

Miguel sent Sienna a secret grin and nodded her toward a dusty chair in the corner of the garage. “What have we today? Heroin? Um…marijuana? Cocaine?”

“Go on,” Charlie challenged, hands on hips. “Another name, I bet you can’t think of one.”

Roll: 

Then, what was probably Tuesday rolled around.

Mallory was sitting with the three sycamore women. They didn’t refer to themselves as the sycamore women, even though that was the only tree they ever sat under. They were just Amara, Akachi, and June. They were a little loony, Mallory thought.

Ring:

The idea stayed, lingering like the condensation on Sienna’s ice water glass. An illusive definition of family dripped down and over her fingers, a question of grief and love left a ring behind on the table.

“Is it going to give you purpose in a healthy way?” Miguel asked, like he was some kind of therapist and not a boy with a circ saw.

“Are you asking me if I’m going to get obsessed with results that exist only in my head?” Sienna retorted, pulling the lemon wedge from her glass and slurping it. Her teeth tingled.

D-Rain and T-Rip, both slightly cheating: (gotta love talking to your Asian relatives, lol.)

Poh Poh tsked as she tidied up the kitchen. “You shouldn’t speak to your mother that way. She’s having a hard time.”

It was the closest she would ever come to admitting feelings existed.

“I don’t think looking at airline deals is a great use of her time,” Sienna said, putting her bowl in the sink.

“Dish drain,” Poh Poh ordered. “And there’s nothing wrong with looking for good prices. Cheap prices are important.”

Sienna sighed. “Are we planning a trip out to Houston, Poh Poh? Because if we’re not, then what’s the point?”

Poh Poh didn’t answer. Either she hadn’t heard, or she was choosing not to.
