#try to include yui. elodie. haddie. zarina. adam. and yun jin as often as I can as well.

I really cannot believe that there are so many dbd players who are more enamoured with david, shittorio, or god forbid FELIX, than gabriel. gabriel is the most handsome man in dbd. there isn't even any competition. he's gorgeous, the very picture of a dashing sci-fi hero. I can somewhat forgive people obsessing over david, since he's been in the game forever, like dwight, and people develop attachments. but it's the whole-damned fruit salad to pretend that he, or the two none pizza with left beef bozos listed, are even remotely as hot or cool as gabriel. gabriel's "actually a clone" lore is fucking awesome and super creepy. great criticism of capitalism/humans playing god too, just like the whole chapter is. he's a total badass and the sole survivor of an attack carried out by a violent, terminator-like AI gone rogue. literally a final boy. I would play an entire video game just about him and his adventures on dvarka, if bhvr made one.

Escaped/Modern DBD AU - Including A/B/O Dynamics

I am heavily sleep deprived, but I HAVE to ramble a bit about my little post Entity, A/B/O AU- :,,) It will be a bit long, so I am preemptively apologizing <3

I genuinely can’t wait for when I get the free time to turn these ideas in a fleshed out story!! :))

Expand for all my rambles and such! <3

— Pre Information —

• With the survivors and killers finally finding a way to escape the hellish realm, the FBI quickly comes to their aid. The federal agents chose very few, specific killers to rescue, a true Hail Mary to their rehabilitation attempts. The FBI keeps the killers and survivors separate, not wanting to cause any altercations. Yet, they all live in the same, fenced up, secluded cul-de-sac. The killers and survivors are not far distanced, just simply across the road; yet they for the most part get along. The FBI tries to keep them contained and hidden away from the public, still undergoing studies and tests on them to test for any abnormalities. Despite the years of turmoil between the killers and survivors, they don’t all hold a grudge. Especially Legion. They’re happy to normally socialize with the survivors.

— House Arrangements —

• Survivor house arrangements - (average 4-5 bedrooms)

— (4 bds) House 1: Claudette, Meg, Dwight, and Jake. Claudette and Meg have separate rooms, yet often sleep together. All 4 of them get along really well, they’ve known each other the longest. They actually specifically requested to be bunked together. Jake is primarily the cook, with Meg occasionally helping. Claudette and Dwight always mess something up whenever they try to cook by themselves. It’s quite funny. Although Jake is their primary cook…even he messes up from time to time. …they always have backup frozen dinners…just in case…

— (4 bds) House 2: Mikaela, Sable, Feng, and Nea. Mikaela and Sable have separate rooms, but often sleep together. They both get a little annoyed with Nea’s behavior and Feng’s loud gaming of the night. But they never start a fight. Mikaela is the cook of the house, with Sable occasionally helping. Feng is very picky about food, loving the junk foods and snacks. She’ll eat a bag of Cheetos with a microwaveable “dinner” and call it a night. Nea isn’t the most open minded person, but she does enjoy most of the meals made.

— (5 bds) House 3: Haddie, Kate, Yun-Jin, Yui, and Zarina. Haddie and Yui grew to be besties. Yun gets a little annoyed with Kate, and Zarina is a little annoyed with Yun. Despite the occasional passive aggression, they get along. Kate and Zarina make incredible meals when working together. Yun is always a disaster in the kitchen. Every now and then, Yui can make a delicious, unexpected meal, especially when cooked for Haddie. Haddie’s always giving the others recipes she’s interested in trying, but mainly requests meals from Yui.

— (4 bds) House 4: Jane, Élodie, Thalita, and Renato. Surprisingly, everyone gets along well here. The girls occasionally poke fun at Renato for being the only boy amongst girls. But, they can all relax and joke around. It’s a very calming experience, especially with movie nights. Thalita and Jane are the primary cooks, their meals are about average. Elodie isn’t a terrible chef, and Renato goes a little too overboard with spices and sauce… It’s practically inedible whenever he cooks…

— (4 bds) House 5: David, Vitt, Gabriel, and Jeff. These 4 actually get along pretty well. They can all relax and enjoy time together, like watching movies, documentaries, or drama shows. Vitt is always intrigued by Jeff’s unique, rough art style. Gabriel is the cook of the house, he makes surprisingly good meals.

— (4 bds) House 6: Ace, Adam, Felix, and Jonah. Although these 4 don’t seem compatible from first glance, these guys will wheeze all night. Ace is definitely the funniest of them, and sends all the others into wheezing fits. They get along super well, staying up all night to watch ridiculous, useless documentaries. They live off frozen microwave dinners and homemade “dad dinners.”

• Killer house arrangements - (smaller houses, average 2-3 bedrooms)

— (4 bds) House 1: Susie, Julie, Frank, Joey. They each have their own rooms, yet they all occasionally curl up in a bed together. When they’re not all in a bed together, it’s usually just Frank and Julie, sometimes Joey joining in. None of them can cook especially well, but Joey and Susie definitely try their best. When working together, they can occasionally make a pretty surprising meal.

— (2 bds) House 2: Hillbilly and Wraith. They each have their own rooms, yet Max typically loves the living room more than anything. He loves the tv and his iPad, he loves distracting himself behind a screen. Phillip is the primary cook of the house, and doesn’t mind bunking with Max. He makes extraordinary meals, and actually enjoys watching all the media with the screen obsessed man. He’s super supportive of the man’s mental and physical therapy too, treating him with extra care, encouraging him with his therapy sessions.

— (3 bds) House 3: Huntress, Nurse, Artist. Each have their own rooms, yet on occasion, Sally and Anna have been caught sleeping together. Carmina has been trying to get accustomed to her new prosthetics, with frequent physical therapy trying to train her. She’s able to enjoy making art again. If she’s ever in pain or struggling with her mobility, she always has Sally by her side to help. Anna doesn’t mind helping either, especially when it comes to pushing her wheelchair. It doesn’t bother her. Sally is grateful to actually help someone again, learning that the pity kills of the past were wrong. Anna always just wanted a kid to take care of, and (although Carmina is older than a kid), she still sees her as younger, happy to take care of her. Anna and Sally almost act like mothers to her. Sally is the primary cook with fairly good meals. Whenever Anna gets in the kitchen, she always makes something repulsive, yet she enjoys it…

— A/B/O Dynamics —

• Roles in order from top to bottom of power

— (Top of the power chain. These are the most dominant, territorial, powerful people) Alphas: Meg (but she lies and claims to be a beta), Yun-Jin, Sable, Jeff, Yui, Anna, and Joey.

— (Basically the second in command to alphas, mainly lacking some of the intimidation and strength. They are heavily physiologically territorial though) Deltas: Nea, David, Zarina, Gabriel, Thalita, Max, and Julie.

— (The “normal humans.” There’s nothing particularly special about these individuals when it comes to unique scents and urges, yet they are still widely accepted into packs. Where they lack such unique traits, they are super empathetic, quickly reading emotions, and calming down distressed pack members) Betas: Jake, Ace, Feng, Haddie, Jane, Vitt, Felix, Élodie, Jonah, Phillip, and Carmina.

— (Basically betas with omega characteristics. They are submissive to Betas, Deltas, and Alphas except omegas. They relate to omegas as they have strong maternal instincts even if they are male or female) Gammas: Dwight, Kate, Adam, Renanto, Frank, and Sally.

— (The absolute bottom of the power chain. They are super submissive and of course fertile despite their biological sex) Omegas: Claudette, Mikaela, and Susie.

— Sexuality Headcanons —

• These are just my personal headcanons!! I mean no offense in these picks!!

— Lesbian: Claudette, Meg, Mikaela, Sable, Haddie, Yui, Élodie, Anna, and Susie.

— Bisexual: Dwight, Jake, Nea, Feng, Kate, Jeff, Jane, Zarina, Thalita, Julie (open), Frank (open), Joey (poly), Sally, and Carmina.

— Gay: David, Adam, Vitt, Gabriel, Renato, and Phillip.

— Lgbt/Unlabeled: Ace, Yun-Jin, Felix, Jonah, and Max.

— Relationship Statuses —

• Romantic + platonic relationships

— Claudette and Meg are just one step away from being bonded mates. Claudette is just a little too nervous for the bonding bite, waiting before making such a big decision. These two are direly in love with one another though! <3

— Yun-Jin is rather cocky in her dominant role, letting the power go to her head. She gets into squabbles with Zarina from time to time thanks to their clashing dominant mindsets.

— Yun-Jin and Yui get along fairly well, as they are (arguably) the most dominant, threatening alphas of the group. They can put the other members back in their places with a simple shout.

— Meg is seemingly always falling into fights, specifically trying to keep other dominants away from Claudette. She was one of the few omegas, to which the dominant members wanted to claim her. Not wanting to blow her “beta cover,” the redhead tries her best not to explode too harshly.

— Sable is more of a level headed alpha, yet Nea somehow finds every irritating button to press. With Nea being just a little lower than Sable, she tries to lash out, to prove her own dominance. This always ends with Sable snapping, putting her back in her place.

— Anna and Sally are “unofficially together.” Although they’ve never talked about having a romantic relationship, they just kind of clicked together over the years. It’s not uncommon for them to act like a married couple.

— Frank, Joey, and Julie are all dating one another, yet Susie is only dating Julie. With their poly and open lifestyle, it works out perfectly for each of them.

— Phillip has feelings for Max, but neither of them know how to express the love. Instead of confessing, Phillip just stays by the man’s side, helping him through his disability and therapy. It’s the least he could do for someone he truly loves.
