Boy, I Sure Do Love It When Scythe Opens Up An Intro With One Of His Characters And He's Talking To Them

Trying to sleep but mY ARTERIES ARE TOO LOUD

Thanks for being the catalyst for this lolllllll ^w^ It was fun trying to put this together and explain what goes in my head XD

Plus my OCs finally get some attention and I can stop quoting Metal Gear Rising smh.

... Sona lore? I guess?

[[Okay so- this is going to make little to no sense but- *yeets Nyx lore at your head*This is also going to be an introduction to my main cast of OCs! And I have art of them thankfully-]]- 🖤🐈‍⬛

[Background] There are these people in the world called Storytellers. And they can be anyone, they can be artists, what we call Creos; actors, or Vox; writers, or Vella. Each Storyteller has a Headspace, which can contain a Realm or multiple Realms. Basically the Headspace is a person's source of imagination or creativity… a Realm is the result of that creativity.  The tricky thing is that depending on the Storyteller, a stranger doesn't know where they'll end up. You can get into a person's Realm but never see how it was built, how it was thought up, what inspired the person to make that idea. Or you can get into the Headspace but never see the Realm- the person describes their ideas and what goes on with them, but there's no visual concept for you outside of that, either because they don't want you to see, or they just can't make anything to show it. If you're lucky you're able to see both the Headspace and visit the Realm. So you can see the idea and understand what went into the creative thinking and any lore associated with it.

[Nyx's place in all this] Nyx's Realm is known as Khaos, but specifically she lives in Khaos City. Mostly people know her as "the stray" or "the thief", and her reputation is that of a mischief-maker. What they don't know is that as a Sona, she's actually the one responsible for the creation and stability of the Realm. She'd rather keep that fact hidden, however... she's never been one to be a leader or be responsible for the lives of others. As a Sona, she's also able to leave her Realm and Headspace of her own volition. Each Storyteller's Headspace has a different way in- hers is something she calls "The Realm Tree". She doesn't know how or when it got there, but she knows that it's the source of her powers. By drawing a circle around the tree and making a sigil for a particular Storyteller, she's able to create a portal and travel to other worlds outside her own.

[[I promise that one of these days I will attempt to draw what Khaos City actually looks like- ]]

[The Characters]

🔹 Jass Bezique and the Cards ♠️♥️♦️♣️🃏 The heart of Khaos City is the Masquerade Casino, owned and operated by Jass Bezique. She's a very charming, very cunning woman, and much about her past is a mystery. Jass is widely regarded as the leader of Khaos, and it's highly recommended to stay on her good side. Her crew of employees is known as the Cards, all with their own special talents:

Club♣️: The bouncer. His other job is to gather intelligence on the casino's patrons and keep tabs on anyone of high interest.

Spade♠️: The bartender. Good at small talk, but has a sharp tongue if you cross her. Moonlights as an assassin for Jass, preferred weapon is a katana.

Diamond♦️: The dealer. You have fun when Diamond's at your table. Studies the patrons and alerts Jass or Club if there's someone in particular they need to be keeping an eye on.

Heart♥️: The hostess. Absolute sweetheart, everyone loves her. Usually the one who makes any deals or negotiations with outside parties.

Joker🃏: The manager. Jass's second-in-command and ABSOLUTELY the charmer of the group. He'll also help out any of the other Cards with their jobs, both in and outside of the casino. One of Jass's most trusted confidants, though he does get on her nerves often.

[[Yes currently cringing at my old art this is from like... a year or two ago AAAAAAAAAAAAGH-]]

🔹 Rinth🐀 Along with Jass, he's the other main character in Khaos City. He's kind of a vigilante in the city and works closely with Jass to investigate any mysterious happenings. Also somewhat of a rival for Nyx, but they tend to get along pretty well for the most part. He's also the only one that recognizes she's the creator of the Realm and understands the power that comes along with it. Jass is also aware of this to some extent, but doesn't fully recognize it and is willing to play her part as the city's leader. Rinth is also a shifter- his other form is a large dark-blue rat; he can partially shift while in his human form (i.e. he suddenly smacks you with a giant tail while the two of you are fighting). Very calm, quiet personality; he doesn't get angry easily, but when he does it's the terrifying, ice-cold anger that can last for a while.

[[Okay, so to be completely honest- the only reason he exists is because my brain decided to be a simp and dreamed him up one night- soon as I told my bestie the next day she immediately started plotting to draw him (this is her art btw, I freaking love how she brought him to life-)]]

🔹 Angel 💙🪽 Probably the oldest of my characters, Angel is the law of Khaos City. She's the one that makes sure people don't get too crazy. There are rumors that she's at least over 100 years old and that she made a contract with a devil for certain powers, but she won't confirm either of those. She's a frequent patron of the casino and is generally okay with turning a blind eye to Jass's activity in the city- "So long as no one gets killed, Jass!" She sees Rinth as a younger brother or cousin and will often team up with him.

[[Mm more old art yes- also she is DEFINITELY a cowgirl- think "The Harder They Fall"]]

🔹 Mala🐍 and Leiurus🦂 The "villains" of Khaos City. Mala's the one in charge and Leiurus is her partner. Their goal is to find a way to break out of the Realm and travel to others to cause chaos. So far they're unaware of the Realm Tree's existence, but they have attempted their own experiments. One of them was somewhat successful, as it opened a portal- unfortunately it was a way into the Realm, not a way out. The two inadvertently unleashed a horde of wraith-like monsters the citizens have dubbed "Nocturnae". They prey on your fears and the inner thoughts you don't want anyone to find out about. Luckily they're relatively easy to manage, and they don't affect the people too much. All except for Nyx at least-

[[most recent Mala art I could find, Leiurus was drawn by bestie because I cannot draw men to save my life-]]

[Random Nyx details]

The Realm Tree is the source of her powers. Excessive use will drain them so she has to visit the tree at least once a month to recharge. The energy she gains is stored in the ruby pendant around her neck.

Negative energy has a BIG effect on her; her triggers are feelings of anxiety, self-deprecation, and fear, which can be worsened by the presence of the Nocturnae. Her pendant can easily be corrupted by outside forces which can cause her to lose control of her powers. She has somewhat of a "dark form"- the sclera of her eyes will turn completely black, leaving only her irises a glowing blue. She also gains the ability to create fire with her hands, blue flames tinged with a purple aura. Purple is never a good color to see with Nyx, it's a sign that she's been corrupted. When it's truly bad, her hair turns completely black; her irises change from blue to purple; long black scars/scratches/cracks appear in her skin. If this form is given enough power, it can split from Nyx to become its own being... which would mean very bad things for Khaos. For the most part though, the corruption can usually be seen as "hands"- either holding Nyx back or muzzling her.

Like Rinth, she's also a shifter and can change into a cat, but she can only fully shift, not partially (i.e. she can only be fully human or fully cat, no in-between).

[[And yee, I think that's it lore-wise for now- tried writing a oneshot but decided it'd be easier to present the lore in a more factual way XD]]

*walks into room* *sits down* *leans forward and laces fingers together-

So uh- INTERESTING UPDATE- that I did not see coming-

I forgot she was a bio major-

So on the one hand, she's comparing the boys to their real-life counterparts and trying to figure out which biological characteristics they actually have-

Then on the other hand (this is what I didn't see coming-) she's playing the part of Hunter!Listener- not Bug!Listerner.

... you get what I mean?

So on the one hand I'm reading her irl gator lore drops and watching her plot how she's gonna take them out with extreme interest-

On the other hand I fear I've created something I cannot handle- and also I'm mildly disappointed because I'm supposed to be the more evil one of the two of us-

Also bonus pic: (ok in my defense gator is delicious-)

Ok, ok, so I told my bestie about Gator Boys because the audio fixation is real and it's something I keep bringing up in chat- anyway I sent it to her and she's WATCHING it and I'm really hoping she likes it- also she's a HUGE animal nerd and she asked if I think the boys can bellow like actual gators (I said yes, I think they would-)

This week in ASMR, GBA Fandom edition:

Episode 1:

Yeah, yeah, it's about me...

Oh frick, am I in therapy- I'M IN THERAPY WOO

K question, will I be taking care of Baby Vengeance in here?

Yeah that checks out, I'd probably feel better about this if I'd died in his stead.

What kinda dream is this???

"Strangers to lovers", who the heck is the stranger gonna be... this is gonna be tough.

CROW OR RAVEN CAWING????

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG-

Oh there goes my heart, here we freaking go.

"I hope it wasn't awkward standing there while I was talking on the phone-"

me: *actually wheezes*

my brother: "what's so funny-"

"NOTHING-"

I don't like how cute I'm finding him. This is not good.

HELPPPPPPPPPPPP HE'S REALLY CUTE AND I DON'T LIKE IT.

Aw man, put the telenovela back on!

I did not make a pie for this man... oh my God I am so dead. Oh I'm gonna be wrecked.

*pauses the video* *walks away from laptop* "WHY AM I SMILING SO HARD OVER THIS GUY NO-"

And there's the crow... frick this is what our dream is about huh

OMG IT IS, THIS IS WHAT THE DREAM IS ABOUT- OH FRICK.

Ok so this crow dropped Ivan's birdfeeder into our backyard, therefore it's the spirit of Crow trying to hook us up with someone- I KNEW IT HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

(yeah I know this stuff is probably obvious to everyone, biochem wrecked my brain process ok)

YEAH HE'S REALLY CUTE, CROW, HELP ME-

Oop- no no, finish that statement sir >:3

NOT THE SOUNDTRACK HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Please let this be a movie someday, I have so many favorite series that I need to be a movie/TV series...

*reaches part 3 in the Shadow Break saga* *gets to plot twist with V’s trap for Atrocity* *pauses video* *does lap around the room* *screams into the void* *continues*

1 hour later:

*finishes video*

*hears the whispers echoing V's words at the end*

I CAN'T DO THIS RIGHT NOW THE LORE IS GETTING TOO MUCH FOR ME AND I CAN'T HANDLE THIS IT'S TOO FREAKING MUCH-

I honestly don't know what to do with myself, I feel like I've drank 5 cups of coffee, I'm all jittery and I can't think straight-

The fight between V and Atrocity, geezzzzzzzzz I could see it all playing out in my head. And then everyone going after Atrocity and getting trounced. It kind of gave me the same feeling I have when watching The Battle of the Five Armies (the extended version from the Hobbit).

The math equation threw me for a freaking loop in the last audio, I can't believe that's how V let all his allies know about the plan.

Speaking about the plan, him and Cheeky- that was honestly a really, REALLY good twist, I really liked that. And yeah, definitely seems like something V would do, I'm chill with that.

I might be crazy but something did not feel right about L... glad my Pikachu queen is alive, don't get me wrong. The first time when V asked her why she didn't respond to his message and she sounded confused, I didn't think too much of it. But the second time, the second time there was a bit of hesitation. Why was there hesitation, L? Also, just a sidenote, what's Void Wraith been up to? Just curious.

Goodbourne can go kick rocks. Brias is all right.

Wilder. Just. Wilder. That's all, make of that what you will.

The whisperssssssss, the whispers the whispers at the end- is the strength of V's new form to much for his mind to handle? Is that why Dark also heard those voices? Originally I thought Dark was just repeating to himself what people like Damian might have said to him over the years... WHICH BRINGS UP ANOTHER POINT HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA *pained inhale* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

So EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE not really everyone but a lot of people in this section have been talking about the Dark Magic user and his powers and him killing the Brotherhood of Heroes and the Light Magic user also dying and- come on man, I freaking love Dark and you're telling me that he's gonna kill Blade????

I think that's it- minus the fact that there were multiple times during the audio that I was pacing around the house, standing stock still, muttering angrily to myself, gasping, etc. etc. etc.

I'm not okay-

Soooooooo hahahaaaaaaaa…

I gravely misjudged how long 150 stitches would be with this yarn weight-

This went from “Ooh a cute tapestry pillow!” to “Frick this might just be a straight-up tapestry-“

I wonder if I’ll finish by the first deadline I gave myself lol-

Is Tristan’s nickname for the listener “Gumpy”-

Also read the description for the video, GREAT MOVE, and it also provides some nice little threads for the more hardcore Crumpets (just hope he’s taking breaks and resting- also apparently I need to listen to Andrew and Kayson again XD)

Edit: Your Honor, I love him, he’s a great guy friend and I REALLY hope nothing ruins their friendship if this series continues- SO THAT’S WHY THE NICKNAME IS GUMPY AAAAAAAAA-

OK yeah Atonal is gonna be fun, I’m starting to wheeze I’ve been laughing so much-

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING AN AMAZING CHARACTER, I LOVE HIM, CLAW IS MY BOI NOW

I apologize for the person I became last night after 11 pm, you will be seeing her again-

"Blue Infinity" is now on my favorite audio series of all time list, we're adding it to the playlist.

Escaped, you did freaking amazing with this. The writing, script, soundtrack, all of it, just the storytelling was so freaking good.

And the cast was incredible, goshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... still loved how Scythe sounded like Captain Barbossa while playing Claw (freaking love Captain Barbossa). Also Saku as the Water Spirit was peakkkkkkkkkk.

(Also I really love this ⬆️, most of the time when I follow a creator, it's because they interact with their audience lol)

Why are the people in this circle so freaking cool. And is it a circle? Possibly a polygon of some sort...

(I have a headache, I should not have stayed up so late. Worth it tho)
