Wow this place is a mess. My MC will be 100% rebellious and be a menace and an annoyance to everyone

But that just makes the ROs love them more I'm guessing 💀

Ooooh your MC sounds like someone I would totally vibe around and try to be friends with 👀 would love to see them causing chaos around Tartarus 🤣

And indeed! Most of the RO's will find MC's rebellious attitude quite endearing!(if not sexy)

Please I am so so in love with E already oh my god. Oh my god. I am head over heels and I haven't even met them yet. Hand in marriage??? Rn?? Pretty please??

That said, I'm also low-key obsessed with V, so that's fun too! And Twenty... 👀

Haha 😂 don't worry dear anon you will certainly get the opportunity to ask E's hand in marriage in the future! (and newsflash, they'll gladly accept it before you even finish the sentence 😁)

And oooh V and Twenty too! It's nice to see the cellmates getting some attention too, they're so underrated 😞 being overshadowed by E., G. and Nikita, please give them some love too ❤️

in Puppy Play, you have to roleplay and pretend to be a dog, that including walking on all fours, and barking like one

nikita probably muzzles mc if they refuse to bark for him- especially in the beginning. a nicer way of shutting them up until they learn not to bite. (probably coos some bullshit to them about waiting until they’re properly trained before taking him in the mouth)

ANYWAY-

😳 Anon you're going to be the death of me one of these days, now that you've mentioned it I cannot get it out of my brain! But indeed that is something Nikita certainly can do if he wants to, the thought of MC being like his obedient pet that faithfully follows his orders is enough to make him giddy at the thought. He'll probably day dream about it and then giggle like some teenage girl does about their crush, all alone in his office, meanwhile the guards outside be sweating bullets 😂

So the cells are mixed in Tartarus? How do they prevent pregnancy?

Indeed they are mixed, with each cell hosting up to 2 people maximum, and they're called buddy pairs where each has to look after the other lest they make a mistake in which case both will be punished for the mistake of one. As for pregnancies, although not encouraged there are little to no measures regarding them. Besides, anyone who is found to be pregnant will be quickly snatched away and taken away to god knows where, and they never return so that's a warning. If one does manage to deliver the baby them they will be immediately confiscated (for lack of better word) and will not be permitted to meet the mother at any cost. No one knows what happens to the infant, and they don't want to think about it as well, fearing the worst.

I also love Nikita solely for the fact that he’s a walking red flag. The pet play is just a huge bonus for me.

EHE red flags may be scary in real life but in fiction they are too tempting to resist 😔 I understand your feelings as a fellow Nikita admirer dear anon, and i hope that you continue to show your love for him in the future as well ❤️

UPDATE

The Character aesthetics are out on Pinterest after requests from you guys! Hope you like them 😊 You can go to it via the link in the main post! I'm also currently working on the different District's info so be on the look out for them soon ;)

Can I humbly ask for some Leo facts please lovely author ^^

I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT ANSWERING ALL YOUR ASKS EARLIER ANON 😞🙏 PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THIS GRAVE MISTAKE OF MINE- AND YES SURE 😃 here are some facts on our (possessive) Mommy Leo!

Her favourite flower is the Delonix regia, infact her palace garden is filled up these flowers blooming all year long

Has an interest in reading history books from the Old World

Likes to judge foods by the way they look and smell. She also especially dislikes eating capsicums and radishes

Was once interested in sculpting as a child, but abandoned it later after realising that she is incapable of making human faces

Has never seen a firefly in her life before

Has a small habit of calling her fellow colleagues by short and affectionate(?) nicknames like "honey", "hun" and "my love", although it is impossible to determine whether she actually does mean them or not

Hello! What about the family of mc? did they used to have friends? allies?

The MC has no known family of blood relatives, and though they did have some allies and friends earlier, all of their connections ended and were permanently destroyed after the failure of the rebellion was put on their shoulders and they were branded a traitor by the rebels. Plus a majority of their allies were executed after being caught. So now they're well and truly alone and isolated

Hello~ I was wondering if the character creation is going to be diverse, in the sense of our MC's personality. Because all the characters seem so tragic, erotic and stoic to me in a cruel and dark world (I may be wrong), and then we have my MC, a social misfit with anxiety, with mood problems and making jokes at the worst times (similar to Jack Sparrow) XD hahahaha. And I thought: the characters are going to hate my MC.

So, my two questions are: are we going to have the opportunity to develop an MC with a varied personality with stats that give us various reactions (extroverted, stoic, adorable, joking, etc)? Or will it be something more default? And what kind of reaction or impression could the RO's have with such a different MC?

Nikita and Gael definitely have a good grip on me at this point ajsjdhdjsj AHHHH I can't not fall into the arms of a walking red flag and an anarchist who wants to kill me. XD

I keep having this scene in mind where Nikita asks my MC to wear this cute necklace around her neck, nothing suspicious, obviously...and my MC responds like: Uh~ kinky, I like it.

Or being with Gael and he pointed a gun at my MC, for some reason, and my MC was like: you know? I charge for having a gun pointed at me, but since you're so hot, I'll let you have it for free.

I don't know, it may not be at all what I think, but if possible, I'm going to create my Jack Sparrow in this wonderful IF just to annoy everyone. Hahaha

PS: Sorry for all the babbling, but this IF has so much potential and so much love in its creation that I can't help but applaud your work in progress. Take care of yourself and sleep well. ✨

Awwww your MC sounds so adorable! They would stick out like a sore thumb among the dark crowd of the ROs 😞 but yes! The character creation is going to be diverse, with options like STOIC vs EMOTIONAL, CAREFUL vs RECKLESS and many more to be included as it goes! So you needn't worry about character diversity 😊

For your first question, yes the MC will have a varied range of personality stats that will range from stoic to reckless to extroverted and etc. there will be no default settings as according to the story the MC will have lost all their memories and therefore they will not be acting the same way they did before. Secondly, the RO’s reactions will range from pleasant surprise to maybe even disgust? Depending on your choices ofcourse. The ROs who have known the MC before, like Nikita and E. will be quite surprised by the new change, the former will be more welcoming to it meanwhile the latter will have some mixed feelings on it. Leo on the other hand will be disgusted, they quite liked the previous MC and their sassy attitude. Caesar and V. who don't know the MC will be more or less welcome it as they don't know who MC was or how they acted earlier. Meanwhile, Twenty and G. will be originally disgusted thinking that the MC is faking it, but soon realise that they aren't so they'll slowly grow used to this new MC, albeit being a little wary.

And OH HO looks like my favourite babies have got you quite on the chokehold 🤭 I'm not complaining tho I love it when people like the ROs ehe-

Though that necklace scene tho- I can't get it out of my head now, curse you! 😭 And lmao 🤣 the way your MC reacts, Nikita will be taken aback for a while! (Not that he's complaining lol) Meanwhile G. trying not to kill the MC out of frustration because of their new attitude. Like c'mon they're crying to kill you for crying out loud! Stop making it so sexual! 😂

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING YOUR LOVE FOR MY LITTLE PET PROJECT 😻 I SHALL DEFINITELY GET SOME GOOD SLEEP AND PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AS WELL ❤️

Too bad, [V.] love would never reach MC because

..what? isn't V. one of the ROs??? w h a t ?.??

OH indeed they are one of the ROs! It's just that, ahem, their and MCs romance route is gonna be filled with lots of hardships and a lil bit of that bittersweet betrayal and in the first half they don't even love the MC, it's purely business I tell you 😉

hi sorry to bother but do you perhaps know path to nowhere

Oh please don't be worried about being a bother! You certainly are not. And yes I'm an avid path to nowhere player! Infact I was KINDAAAAA inspired from Eirene and Demon to make Leo, E. and Caesar- they carried me throughout the story mode ok?!

Hi! I must admit, I'm having a hard time imagining any of your characters so far, so I have to ask - are you planning to commission ROs portraits in the future? I didn't ask for ArtBreeder because I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, pinterest boards would be fine too, if you have any!

OH NO- IM SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO IMAGINE THE RO'S WITH THEIR APPEARANCE DESCRIPTIONS ALONE- (honestly as a reader I'm more used to just imagining the characters by descriptions alone rather than just looking up pictures for them so I just assumed the same for everyone 😅)

Unfortunately I'm not really fond of art breeders- (mainly because half of the time the ai image just doesn't fit my imagined image 😭) but if it's difficult people then I guess I can make an exception? Should I make Pinterest boards for the ROs or just post the images that inspired their appearances for me for you to get the idea? Or should I do both? Please let me know 😅

ZHENYA ‘PSIKH’ BOGDANOV

(pardon the terrible lighting 😔)

Codename : Nyx, named after the primordial greek goddess of the night (yeah it's a feminine name, but does Zhenya give a damn? Hell no)

Nickname : His friends and family members know him simply as Zhen, otherwise in the underworld he is better known as Psikh Bogdanov, or the madman as some prefer to call him for simplicity

[ 20 || 6'1" || cis-male || demisexual || in a relationship with Ash and Rin ]

Appearance : Short midnight black hair, and emerald green eyes

His stats

(dudes here ready to go full on doomslayer on his enemies)

Some facts about him:

~ He likes smoking, and that too the best quality cigars

~ As a child Zhenya wanted to be a writer, maybe even a journalist. He liked journaling his days as a kid, writing small stories and frequently narrating details of his day with his father, uncle and Ash before the incident with his dad, following which he discontinued writing indefinitely. He never touched his little journal after that.

~ Once had a bucket list containing all the things he wanted to do as a kid. These included bungee jumping, going to the seven wonders of the world and hell, even riding an ostrich (overall he just wanted to do every crazy thing one can possibly do). One of the wishes in this list included going to Disneyland with his dad. Unfortunately it never happened and he refused to ever go there

~ is very fond of daffodils. Ash regularly buys daffodils to be put in a vase in the middle of the room where he can see them

~ he is very fond of Donna tartt's books, especially the secret history

~ during his (cringe) puberty phase, when emotions and hormones run high and teenagers become the biggest menaces alive, Zhenya had the misfortune of stumbling upon Twilight. Following that fateful encounter he became a hardcore Twilight fan, especially as a firm member Team Jacob. He even went as far as to get a wolf tattoo and got his ears pierced as a form of his teenage rebellion. Thankfully he got over his cringe phase quickly, and now everytime he thinks about it he can't help but feel embarrassed to the core. (I can say this with a guarantee that Rin tries to pull his leg every once in a while by mentioning his horrific past, just for the sake of seeing Zhenya blush furiously.)

~ also likes reading books and historical research papers on medieval punishments and torture methods, for science ofcourse he says

~ is a pretty decent cook

~ although he can only cook dishes related to chicken, Zhenya is experienced enough to debone a raw chicken blindfolded holding some of the sharpest knives ever. The countless scars on his hands and arms are a testament of his perseverance. Apparently he's ‘practising’...

~ “a balanced diet is very important.” also him, proceeds to carefully remove all the peas from his food

~ has never lost a single match of rock-paper-scissors, even against Rin. However, one cannot say the same for his terrible luck and history with UNO. My guy here can get almost all the power cards at the beginning of the game, yet somehow always manages to lose them all and be defeated brutally. It has come to the point some believe he's intentionally losing, he's not.

~ likes watching and listening to true crime podcasts

~ Zhenya has a very bad habit of smiling whenever he's lying, making it impossible for anyone to figure out when he's lying or not (except those close to him who can see the discrepancies between his real and fake smiles)

~ can hold his liquor very well. The most he can go with, is 23 shots, which is his highest record so far, until he eventually passes and wakes up to the absolute worst hangover of his life

~ will call you a moron if you were to ask him the classic “would you still love me if I was a worm?” but still answer with a yes

~ sorry no Pixie cameo this time 😔, on another note, Zhenya actually adopted Pixie from the streets when he accidentally stepped on her on his way home. Feeling guilty he brought her home and the kitten that was barely a month old became a part of his small family. Now refuses to let anyone even touch her without his permission, talk about being overprotective

MIKHAIL 'MICKI' VICTOROVICH LANG

(this is @headdaze's MC, btw all comments are made by them-)

Codename : Tisiphone (he’d probably get a kick out of the nicknames he could make– like he picks up the phone and goes “hello? This is tisiphone answeirng the phone at avengers speed-” OR EVEN BETTER “hello? Tis me, tisiphone–”)

Nickname : His close ones simply call him, Angel, meanwhile the rest just go along with Micki

[ 20 || 5'5" || agender, he/they || demisexual || working on getting Ash, will work on Rin (when they meet each other as adults which they haven’t yet LOLOLOL)]

Appearance : Slightly long brown hair, with grayish, green blue eyes

Some facts about them

~ after destroying a microwave, ruining a meal, burning a few items, and other travesties, micki resigned himself to simple dishes… no five star courses (later on Zhenya takes it upon himself to cook for Mikhail, after keeping him 6feet away from the kitchen ofcourse)

~ loves nothing more than a good book and as such gets heavily irritated when something good disappoints them

~ very pro-healthy food but still eats unhealthy

~ vision is ABSOLUTE SHIT, wears either ridiculously thick glasses or contacts

~ usually sweet but can have a scary side too (people like to call him the wolf in sheep’s clothing)

~ his dream is to go around the world, eat the things he wants, and buy the things he wants without feeling guilty about spending money

~ a MASSIVE penny pincher

~ “ZHEN CAN YOU PLEASE STOP RUINIG YOUR LUNGS WITH THOSE FUCKING BEAUTIFUL CIGARS” “No.”

~ comfy > fashion, the man is not going to strut outside on a winter day in an outfit even if he looks good in it because if it gets him a cold it is GAME OVER

~ literally cannot stay up for the life of them, alwAYS gets irritable when sleepy so prefers to get their hours of sleep in

(why is a majority of this basically just me)

IF : VENDETTA BY @vendetta-if

Any spoiler-free explanations/snippets of why V is a slight Yandere🥺?

OFCOURSE!

1. V. was first introduced to MC by the rumours surrounding them, they though MC was just another criminal who pissed off some higher officials and got thrown in, imagine their pleasant surprise when they found that MC was nothing like that

2. Then their interest was piqued even more when they realised that MC had amnesia and their entire background was wiped clean, so they decided to stick around MC to learn more about them (and perhaps collect some dirt in the process as well)

3. In the beginning they saw a reflection of their siblings in MC as they taught them the ways of Tartarus

4. Then MC, who they previously thought was naive, got involved with the Warden and actually saved their overall curious ass twice

5. So now that interest now turned into attraction, V. would never admit it but they do like acting like a damsel in distress every once in a while to have a prince/princess in shining armour save them, guess who showed up hm

6. Long story short, V. ended up head over heels for MC

7. Too bad, their love would never reach MC because

.... EHE I CAN'T GO ON ANYMORE OTHERWISE IT WOULD VENTURE OUT INTO SPOILER TERRITORY SORRY 😞

so i dont want to be rude cos i love your ocs (nikita has my heart fr fr) but is this game actually planned? ive seen a lot of choice of games that got me all excited about the characters but i guess the author didnt realise how much work the whole game is or got busy and then it never happens. i mean im not trying to pressure you or anything but i dont think you have a demo yet so im just wondering if you like have a plan or not?

Oh please don't worry about rude or anything, i absolutely understand where you are coming from! And yes although there's no demo out yet that's because it's my first time making an IF so I'm a little confused, but I have some friends to help me who are more experienced that I am. I understand that you are worried about the demo never coming out, but I'll do my best to make it work. Though that might take a while with all the pressures coming from college and my upcoming exams. I'll do my best to not fail you 💪😭

I added these parallels intentionally for a reason

wELL, that may indicate a very "interesting" chain of events for MC who was fwb with E. but then falls under Nikita's influence after losing their memory. it literally feels like he's playing with their subconscious, which checks out with what you have written about Nikita before. (me? building a whole damn theory from two separated sentences? more likely than you think)

but the whole thing with E.! fwb with feelings or not - you don't play house with just anyone, and a plant is not a bouquet of flowers. it's something more permanent - E. could as well gift MC a puppy to be more blatant about their desire to put something lasting in their daily routine.

..and Nikita is toying with it for what? to trigger a "positive response" from MC? HOW DID HE EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS CLEARLY PRIVATE PIECE OF INFORMATION?! he looks more devious by the second, istg.

Ooooh that's a very interesting theory I must admit! Although I won't confirm or deny that theory, I really really like it! And yep yep regardless of whether you take the FWB route or not E. will have some sort of positive feelings for MC, and AHEM I cannot really reveal it BUT- I'll just let you know that Nikita knows more than one might think, about MC and E. 🤭

Please I really really LOVE reading all of your theories! They are so entertaining to go through even though some of them might not be on point but the fact that you guys had the time to come up with them makes me really happy 😊❤️

G going for a kiss and mc moving their face because "babe, I just drank milk" the horror of G who has a partner that loves lactose products.

LOL🤣 I can now imagine a scenario where G. and MC get into a fight so MC just loads the entire fridge with milk based products out of spite for G. 😂 but regardless thats so cute!

I am obsessed with Nikita.

(Totally not because of the pet play btw. 👀)

Looks like our warden finally has some fans XD I'm glad that you like him so much! He's my little baby (even tho he's a walking talking red flag ehe-)

in this case, considering who is in charge of this (*cough* Nikita *cough*) it would most likely be less about consent and more about dehumanizing and his own entertainment. He will likely keep you chained up with a pretty little collar around your neck to remind you and warm others about who you belong to

Now I’m just imagining reader being forced to wear a muzzle. 🫣

😳 anon you just stole the idea right out of my mind! Are you a telepath perhaps? 😂

Good to know that G hates MC because I WILL bully them cuz they're lactose intolerant lmao

LMAO 😂 They certainly will NOT find that as amusing as you do. G. dislikes it when they are made fun of for their lactose intolerance and the bullying coming from especially their mortal enemy won't help with the burn either,they'll most likely try to knock you out in the best case scenario to shut you up for a while LOL

thank god, lil plat is alright! I asked for the meaning " a light purple that symbolizes a first love" 😭

Ohhh you mean the symbolism behind the lilac?! I see 😅 I apologize for getting the question wrong, and indeed the lilac flower represents innocence, youthfulness and tranquility as well as early first love, which describes E's feelings for MC pretty well ❤️‍🩹

i think it looks great, the new style you added to the tumblr! good work!

Awww thank you so much anon! It's good that you like the new style 😄 I was afraid it didn't match the vibe here XD

E. once gave MC a lilac plant as gift for their birthday, though it is unsure what they did with it

[Nikita] claims to have given MC a rare sky-blue sun orchid as a gift on their birthday, which they seemingly threw away later. Although there is no way to verify this claim

Maybe I am looking too hard into it, but this parallel seems so eerie to me ngl.

Oh dear no you're absolutely not dear anon! I added these parallels intentionally for a reason- but I'm glad that you noticed it! 😃

Proud to be Top 3 for V✊✊✊

Yandere lovers unite🕴🕴🕴

Wohoo looks like we are going to have a V. fanclub soon! Yandere Lovers United 😂!!!!

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY FOLLOWERS AND FRIENDS ON TUMBLR!!! 🎊

Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported me here and I hope that everyone of you have an awesome day and year to go ahead! ❤️🎉 😋

On another important note- HOLY SMOKES WE JUST CROSSED 1200 FOLLOWERS OMG I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE A DAY LIKE THIS COME- I CAN'T THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH FOR THIS 😭😭😭😭😭

Which was the color of the lilac plant? Even if mc keep it now is long dead :( with nobody to water it.

:D? Sorry if I don't get your question properly- the lilac plant E. gave MC was a soft, pale shaded purple one. as for its whereabouts, I can't say where it is, but I can assure you that it is in good hands 😉 for now

You will be his own little puppy, a faithful and loyal one that will never betray him again, and he will make sure of that

Again? 👀

Wink wink 😉 it seems someone has spotted my hidden secret clue! Are you curious about what it means? Come closer...

Whoops sorry can't tell you or else it would be a spoiler and dampen all the mystery and fun tehee😊 I gotcha didn't i?!

wohoo! i had this sudden urge to do an account recolour and renewing (?) it, how does the new look do? Good, fine, meh or terrible? :D

Whew! I'm finally done with all the RO introductions and profiles! How is it? Do you guys like it?

By the way I'm curious 🤔 which RO are you guys the most excited for?

*Reads the puppy play explanation*

... You sure Nikita isn't a slight yandere also? 😂

*shrugs innocently* you can come up with your own conclusion anon 😃 but does he actually give off yandere vibes???
