They/Them | 23Just an artist who wants to share a bunch of stuff I’ve drawn! I flip flop a lot between fandoms so if you’re here for one particular fandom I’m sorry 😅I’m pretty anxious and bad at interacting so sorry if I take a while to respond to things/am a bit awkward with my wording on stuff!
Don't wanna be here? Send us removal request.

Started a Magnus Archives ask blog to go along with the one my friend Pokeblog123 made (@brand-new-entity)! So if you'd like, feel free to go ask my characters questions! I'll do my best to answer them all! And be sure to send some to Poke too if you can :)
INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
Welocome to to A-Parallel-Institue, a blog created by the U.S.A. Branch of the Magnus Institute. Our intentions are to provide a means for those afflicted by the fear entities to recognize their situation and come to us for assistance with their conditions. To do this, the head of this institute, Ms. Manasvi, has instructed me to create a social media platform to better reach those outside of the city where we reside.
This project, alongside helping those who may be unaware of what is causing the strange and seemingly unexplainable problems in their lives, also provides a means of giving a voice to several individuals who have agreed to assist this objective. These volunteers have provided introductory statements linked below as a means of sharing some basic information regarding why they have ended up with us and what they wish to gain from assisting in this task. Each of them have agreed to answer questions, however relevant or irrelevant to this project, from any of you. That way, you can gain a better understanding of these individuals and their position, and perhaps you can encourage them to share information that we have yet to procure from them. The following list shall be updated as we receive more volunteers for the project.
Participating individuals:
Carna Garcia - She/Her - Avatar of the Flesh
Otta Pace - She/Her - Marked by the Desolation
Haniel - They/Them - "Avatar" of the Stranger
We hope that your participation in speaking with these individuals will help spread the word about this institute and provide both a means of receiving help for any of your own afflictions or a better understanding of what handling these entities is like through the experiences of our volunteers.
Signed,
Uddanta Seaver
Extra information regarding this blog:
This is an ask/art blog featuring many of my own characters, as well as cameos from a few of my friend's characters that will be tagged accordingly as they show up. It takes place in an alternative universe where The Change never really happened, but the world was still affected by it. This version of the Magnus Institute, as a result, is a bit different, with the blog following a separate division centered in the United States.
As of right now, I have only listened to a small portion of Magnus Archives and only know so much about the overall story and world, relying mainly on the bits and pieces that my friends have told me. Because of this, there is a possibility that several things may be inaccurate, and I apologize if that is the case. Do keep in mind, though, that this is an alternative universe, so many things may also be intentionally different or inaccurate.

Fear: Spiral and Extinction (Marked)
Gender: Nonbinary (They/Them)
Age: 21
Height: 5'6" (167cm)
Description: Mal was introduced to the world of the entities after dropping out of college. A new hospital had opened in town that had a need for patient companions, a position they were quick to apply for. Though never mentioning the fears directly, the hospital was opened with the purpose of treating those marked by them. It was described to Mal as a refuge for those with unexplained chronic ailments, a noble mission they empathized with due to their own struggles with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It was only a few weeks later that they slowly realized what they’d actually gotten themself into. Still, they steeled themself and continued, determined to help those afflicted by things they didn’t quite understand.
This determination in the face of the unknown caught the eye of several entities, namely the Extinction and the Spiral. The Extinction hoped to claim its first avatar while the Spiral looked to pull the Distortion out of its post-Change limbo. Both acted on the same night, infecting Mal in their sleep. The Distortion would have merged with Mal in the same way it had merged with Michael and Helen if not for the interference of the Extinction. The Extinction would’ve simply made Mal an avatar if not for the influence of the Distortion. They reacted strangely with each other, creating beings that were intrinsically linked to Mal, but not quite them. First was Chroma, a version of the Distortion that took elements from Mal as well as its previous hosts. Next, there was Kenos, an extension of the Extinction also tainted by Mal’s humanity. In the morning, Mal awoke from their nightmare permanently possessed by manifestations of two fears, containing two avatars within, but not one themself. They decided to keep this fact a secret from all but a small few, keeping the fears inside locked tight to protect those around them.
Mal is a mediator through and through. They’re level-headed and kind, seldom giving in to anger. A staunch pacifist, they refuse to let Chroma and Kenos hurt anyone. They often get between the two’s bickering and have taken up a leadership role. Although the two resent Mal, they look to them for guidance on their newfound personhood. In turn, Mal sees Chroma and Kenos as nuisances, though they understand the two are mostly lashing out because they feel lost. They are a burden Mal feels obligated to carry for the safety of others… but maybe someday they could work together and be friends. Doubtful, but maybe. All they know is that they have a lot of love for the world and the people around them, and they’ll protect that no matter the cost.

Bianca, what kind of stuff is on your mind? You thinking about anything or just spacing out in general?
Tumblr media
Bianca: TBH a lot of it is spacing out. That’s the one thing about the Vast that’s really annoying. I’ll be thinking my thoughts and suddenly they slip away. It’s like trying to hold water. It’s always gonna leak.
Bianca: It’s kinda cool being larger than life, but cramming that all in a tiny human cranium is gonna cause issues. I can comprehend the Vast, sure, but I sorta… lag because of it.
Bianca: It’s def worth it to send haters to the forever sky dimension though.

Wyan, do you have any memories of who you once were at all?
Tumblr media
Wyan: No.
After a moment of silence, Jas elbowed Wyan, prompting them for more information.
Wyan: Fine. It’s true that I don’t remember anything, but I suppose it is important to note that I let myself slip away on purpose. I forgot for a reason, and I trust my past self enough to not go looking for answers. I embody the Lost now. That’s all that matters to me.

Hey Alice, you should ask the Spiral to help you open a bakery. Imagine the wild decorations you could put on the cakes!
Tumblr media
Alice: That’s a great idea!
Alice: Or it would be, if I could directly talk to the Spiral. You know that old comparison? The one that says Cthulhu is to humans what humans are to ants? It’s a similar story with the dread powers. I understand a little better, so maybe I’m not an ant, but I still can’t hit it up for a cup of tea and a chat. Consider me somewhere in the middle, like a rabbit for example. I can’t connect to ants OR humans properly! It’s ok to be in your own world though. I don’t mind.
Alice: Oh I got a little off topic! I love baking more than ever with the new things I can do, but I think a bakery isn’t currently in the cards, dear. I have a whole dimension of sweets and pastries and goodies if that makes up for it! You should come visit sometime! It’s to die for!

What kinda fun do you usually have as an avatar of the Flesh, Jasmine?
Tumblr media
Jas: Oh hiiii! I love playing with fleshcrafting! Usually I do people and feed off their fear, but sometimes I do freshly dead animals (mostly roadkill) to practice!
Jas: It’s tons of fun once you get the hang of it. Flesh and bone is really just like playdough and pipe cleaners. You should try it! I’d love some fleshy friends!

You said that Blair is a vampire in an emotional and literal sense sooo... What do you get up to? Are you as animalistic as they say or do you have other interests apart from feeding as brutally as vamps in your world are known to do?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blair: I like romance. The highs and lows. The toxic and the sweet. Playing with humans and letting them play with me.
Blair: If there’s any difference between me and a human, it would be the hunger and the detachment. I wouldn’t say it makes me animalistic. I pride myself on my restraint, but I am always hungry. Always. I have to actively work to see humans as more than just prey. It’s very hard to actually feel any attachment, but I do try. It’s not because I love humans, mind you, it’s because I would be rather lonely otherwise. Vampires are so rare, and they don’t like forming attachments. I guess that’s what makes me different.
Blair: Aside from that I’m an avid partygoer, I like fashion, I sew, I have enough going to pass the time. It feels like biding time between meals, but I suppose I’ve found meaning in my hobbies nonetheless.

You mention Melanie being jumpy for an avatar, is she afraid of something?
Tumblr media
Melanie: I’m afraid of everything! I have no idea why I was chosen to be an avatar. I’m not good at scaring people at all!
Melanie: Sure, I do what I have to in order not to get gobbled up by the Dark, but I don’t like it one bit. Maybe it chose me because it’s really easy to scare people with darkness? Then again, maybe it’s because of those Darkness mormons or whatever they are.

To Alice, how and why did you become an avatar of the Spiral?
Tumblr media
Alice: You’d never believe it now, but I graduated top of my class in culinary school. I was one of those rags to riches success stories where I dug myself out of poverty and started my own bakery.
Alice: Of course, it went downhill rather quickly. Everyone went from loving my baking to hating it. No matter what I tried it never seemed to be enough. Different ingredients, different ratios, different decorations, they despised it all. I went mad trying to please the unappeasable. Eventually my bakery shut down and I… well I had nothing left and the bills were piling up. My dreams were shattered and I had no way to continue forward.
Alice: I took my own life. I won’t go into detail, but I thought that would be an end of it. Instead, in the quiet darkness, I felt something with me. Something bright and colorful and so alive holding me in its embrace. It told me that they would never understand, but that it didn’t matter. The only one who needed to understand was me.
Alice: I woke up. I didn’t know anything about the Dread Powers, but I knew I had been given a second chance.
Alice: This time I’m marching to the beat of my own drum.

What is Solis seeking revenge for?
Tumblr media
Solis: I am seeking revenge for my own death. I’m a ghost of what I once was. Literally.
Tumblr media
Solis: I know Icarus is slinking around here somewhere. If you see that rat bastard let them know they can’t hide forever. I swear on the Lightless Flame they will pay for what they’ve done to me. I will cremate them and all they love.

I’m very curious about Alpha! What do they get up to as an avatar of the Extinction?
Tumblr media
Alpha: Planning the end of humanity.
Alpha: Haha, I kid. Humanity is ending itself just fine already. That is why the Extinction is superior. It is Inevitable.
Alpha: My prime directive is the destruction of hope. If humans don’t believe in their future, there will not be one.

You mention that Icarus is paranoid to lose control again, what happened in the past?
Tumblr media
Icarus: It’s because I’m with the Hunt. Something comes over me and I do things I never thought I was capable of. It’s like… Jekyll and Hyde in a way. It’s still me, but different. I’m not sure I like it, it feels scary, but it helps me get things I need to do done. I couldn’t be a mercenary without it.
Icarus: There are some times where it comes back to bite me though. Where I’m too ruthless, or I pick the wrong target. It makes it hard to sleep at night.
