Sypnosis [Written as in the request]

Character [Lancelot]

Note || thank you for the request lovely! Been bored without requests lately, this was very fun to do. I’d like to think he solidified his ability to cook because of you lmao.

Lancelot might initially find your Kitsune nature intriguing, especially if you take on a fox form similar to his. His natural curiosity about his own fox transformation would make him eager to observe you. At first, he may approach cautiously, unsure whether you are an ally or another potential enemy.

Once he realizes you’re not a threat, his guarded demeanor would soften, but only slightly—he’s still wary by nature. That said, you might notice he keeps a close eye on you for a while, as if testing you.

Despite his serious and somewhat stoic personality, Lancelot would have a softer side around you, especially when you show off your playful Kitsune nature. If you use your shape-shifting ability to play tricks or get him in a light-hearted situation, Lancelot would be annoyed, but in a teasing, amused way.

You both could share moments where you compete in shape-shifting or use illusions to play pranks on each other, which might lighten his mood. He doesn't let his guard down for long, but he does enjoy these moments of distraction from the weight of his responsibilities.

He would be fiercely protective of you, though he might not openly admit it at first. His loyalty to those he cares about is strong, and as a Kitsune, you would strike him as someone who deserves that loyalty.

If anyone threatens you (As the existence of a kitsune is rare, and otherwise, legendary) Lancelot's usually calm demeanor would shift quickly. His power and skill with weapons would come out in full force as he defends you, and he would be ruthlessly efficient, showing no mercy to your enemies.

With both of you having powerful magical abilities, there could be a fascinating synergy between your powers. Lancelot, with his magical energy manipulation, and you, with your Kitsune magic (possibly involving illusion, fire, or nature-based powers), would make an unstoppable team. He would be keen to train with you, constantly trying to improve and refine his combat skills, and he might even learn a few new tricks from you.

If your Kitsune magic involves creating fire or illusions, Lancelot would likely be amazed by your control over such elements. He might admire your elegance and fluidity in battle, which contrasts with his more direct approach.

As a Kitsune, you might possess your own telepathic or heart-reading abilities, which could create an interesting communication dynamic with Lancelot. He would initially be cautious, not wanting to allow anyone access to his deepest thoughts, but over time, he’d trust you enough to let you in. You’d probably learn a lot about his feelings of responsibility, inner conflict, and the weight of his role as the Knight of War.

Lancelot, on the other hand, would respect your privacy and would try not to invade your thoughts, even if you allowed it. He’s keen on not taking advantage of someone’s vulnerability, and while he can read hearts, he might give you space and let you come to him when you're ready to open up.

While Lancelot has his moments of lightheartedness, he’s also deeply serious. As a Kitsune, you might be the one to bring out his playful side more. You’d make him laugh with your tricks, sharp wit, or even just a casual comment about how absurd life can be.

His sense of humor is dry, and while he may seem annoyed at first by your teasing, you’d eventually see him breaking into a rare, but genuine smile when you make him laugh. His affection for you would be evident in these quiet, tender moments.

Your connection would likely be tied to the spiritual and mystical side of your being. As a Kitsune, you probably have a deep connection to nature and the elements, which would make you even more fascinating to Lancelot. He would enjoy learning more about your lore, especially your ability to shift forms, the foxfire, and the magical properties of Kitsune mythology.

Over time, Lancelot might even come to rely on your wisdom and instincts when making decisions, especially in times of crisis. He’d admire your resilience and your ability to balance both wisdom and mischief.

Lancelot may act possessive in subtle ways, especially when he realizes how much you mean to him. He’s fiercely protective, but his pride might make him a little hesitant to show it outright, so it comes across as him being overly critical or even dismissive when, in reality, he just doesn’t want anyone to harm you.

You’d probably notice that he’s quick to assert his ‘claim’ over you in small, subtle ways, like claiming you as a partner or ally, or simply giving you a sharp, meaningful look when someone else shows interest in you.

Despite his powerful presence and royal background, Lancelot has moments of deep loneliness, stemming from his complex past and strained relationships with those closest to him. You, as a Kitsune, might recognize this in him, and though you understand the nature of solitude, you’d make an effort to offer him companionship, especially during his more introspective moments.

Over time, Lancelot would come to see you not just as a companion, but as someone who truly understands him. His initial emotional distance would soften, and he would rely on you for both comfort and understanding, even if he struggles to verbalize it.

If romance does develop between you two, it would be slow and subtle, considering his cautious and emotionally guarded nature. Lancelot might struggle to admit his feelings, unsure of how someone like you, a powerful and mystical Kitsune, could ever truly be interested in him.

You might need to be the one to take the first step, as Lancelot is both unsure of how to approach romance and deeply aware of the consequences his feelings could bring. However, once he begins to trust you, his romantic affection would be intense and deeply protective.

As a warrior, Lancelot would value teamwork, and having you by his side on adventures would elevate his skills. He'd respect your abilities, trusting you in battle and relying on your unique perspective to approach challenges.

You two would share a bond forged through battle and mutual respect, making every mission and journey you undertake feel meaningful. Lancelot might even open up more about his past as he grows closer to you. After all, there is a rather popular saying about bonding through shard experiences.

As two hybrids of different worlds—Kitsune and Fairy/Human—there would be an underlying connection between you two that goes beyond physical and magical prowess. Both of you would feel the weight of being ���other,” of belonging to different worlds and trying to find a place in a world that doesn’t fully understand you.

I can imagine this bond would create a deeper understanding between you two, where words aren't always necessary to communicate the weight of your existence.

The soft whisper of the wind rustled the leaves, the faint warmth of the sun dipping low in the sky, as Lancelot sat quietly by the small campfire. His usual aura of intensity was nowhere to be found—tonight, he was simply himself. The knight, prince, and warrior, all aspects of his being seemed distant in this peaceful moment. Here, surrounded by the calm night, he felt something simpler: contentment.

Across from him, curled up comfortably with a piece of meat skewered on a stick, was you. Or rather, him, Sin—the name you’d come to call him after he revealed himself in that small, mischievous fox form. It had been a while since you had gotten used to the idea of him in this shape. His strawberry-red fur, his tiny white-tipped tail that wiggled whenever he was being especially playful, his black-gloved paw—there was something endearing about the way he’d sometimes stare at you, his magenta-red eyes glimmering with that playful yet mysterious glint.

It didn’t take long before you grew fond of him. You, a kitsune, had spent most of your life as a solitary being—someone who didn’t easily trust, much less form friendships. But with him, everything felt natural. With him, there was no need for pretense. No need for formality. Lancelot—whether in his fox form or his true human form—was just… Lancelot. His presence didn’t demand anything of you. He didn’t force you to be anyone other than yourself.

And now, here you were, together by the fire, as the stars above twinkled softly, their light almost reflecting off the gentle waves of a nearby stream.

"So, I’ve been thinking," Lancelot murmured, his voice relaxed and unhurried. His human form was as handsome as ever, a sharp contrast to the tiny fox he'd been, yet there was no difference in the gentleness of his tone when he spoke to you.

You raised an eyebrow, curious. “Thinking about what?”

He gave a small, sheepish grin before shifting his legs, rolling his shoulders. “That maybe… you might be better at cooking than me.”

You couldn't help but laugh at his antics. In truth, he was a great fighter, a mighty warrior. But cooking? Well… that was another matter. You’d both spent the last few days traveling, and you had, more than once, offered him your assistance when it came to meal prep. But tonight, Lancelot had insisted on doing it himself, only to end up with something that resembled a burnt offering rather than anything edible.

"Hey, I thought I was improving," he said, pouting a little, though you could see the amusement in his eyes. His usual serious demeanor had faded entirely, replaced by that playful side you adored.

Shaking your head, you lifted a piece of fruit from your pouch. “You’re a great fighter, Lancelot. You’ve got the strength and the agility, but when it comes to this... cooking's not your strong suit.”

He rolled his eyes dramatically, but it was clear that there was no real offense in his expression. "Alright, alright. You win this time." He looked at you with a mischievous glint. "But I’ll make you a deal."

“A deal?” you repeated, leaning in slightly, intrigued. “What kind of deal?”

His grin widened. “If you teach me how to cook, I’ll teach you how to fight. We both know you could use some pointers, too.”

Your ears twitched. “Excuse me, but I can fight, thank you very much.”

Lancelot laughed, a rich sound that brought warmth to the cool night air. “Yeah, but not like me.” He wiggled his eyebrows playfully.

Despite yourself, you chuckled, shaking your head. "You’re impossible."

He leaned back, his eyes softening with affection, but his voice still light and teasing. “You know, I’ve never really had many friends… especially not one like you.”

You blinked at him, unsure of what to say at first. In the past, Lancelot had always seemed so… distant, like there was always something weighing on his heart. Yet, in moments like these, the heaviness of his role as a prince, a warrior, a son—none of it seemed to matter.

"Well, you’ve got me now," you replied simply, offering him a warm smile. It wasn’t a grand declaration. No, it was just the truth.

Lancelot seemed to hold your gaze for a moment longer than usual, before his expression softened. “I’m glad.”

The air grew still for a moment, and for the briefest of seconds, the only sound was the crackling of the fire. Then, as if the silence was too much, Lancelot huffed in mock frustration. "Okay, fine. Let’s get back to the deal. If you teach me to cook, I’ll teach you the best fighting moves. I know some techniques that’ll blow your mind."

You arched a brow, skepticism creeping in. “I think I’ll pass on that last part.”

"Oh?" His voice took on a teasing note. "Scared?"

“Of course not.” You smirked, though inside, you felt your heart flutter a little. There was something about the way he spoke to you so casually, yet with that unspoken bond between you, that made your chest swell with warmth.

“Then it’s settled,” Lancelot said, sitting up straighter and offering his hand, though this time, you noticed that his smile wasn’t the playful one you were used to seeing. It was softer, more genuine. “We’ll make a great team.”

You took his hand without hesitation, your own smile matching his. “We already are.”

---

The next few days passed by in a blur of easy laughter and content companionship. You and Lancelot would train together—albeit, you mostly cooked while he struggled with wielding a sword. In return, he offered his “training” sessions in combat, which often consisted of teaching you how to dodge his playful strikes, and even learning how to handle the pressure of a real fight, should one come.

But it was the silly moments, the ones where he would sneak up behind you in his fox form and try to steal your food, or the times you would sneak up on him when he was too focused on his bow to notice, that truly defined your days together. It was in these quiet, simple moments that you felt the most connected.

And as the days passed, and the quiet moments stretched into evenings filled with laughter and peace, you found yourself more and more content in his company. For all the battles he’d fought, the people he’d lost, the weight of his royal blood, Lancelot never seemed more like himself than when he was just with you—in those times when you didn’t need to be anyone or anything special. Just two souls content with the little joys that life had to offer.

And as you sat by the fire, watching him now, you realized that you didn’t need grand declarations of love or sweeping gestures. No, this quiet night, this gentle rhythm of existence, was more than enough.

Lancelot, with his fox tail twitching beside you, the playful glint in his eyes, and that soft, easy smile, was enough. You didn’t need anything more.

bored in class dying of period cramps so crack theory time!

Spoilers for chapters 109 to 111 and Ashe No Purgatory or whatever it's called

Donovan is actually Anya's mother.

Here me out.

If we assume Anya's mother has the same hallucination powers that Ashe had and therefore is capable of mass illusions. So, in order to stop the war she decided/was forced to switch places with Donovan. Physically she is still Ashe but to literally everyone she is Donovan.

Obviously that requires a lot of power and can be very exhausting so she isolates herself so that she can relax and not have to manipulate the minds of everyone around her.

So why would she do this?

There are many answers:

Donovan is paranoid and afraid of someone attacking him so in exchange for protection of her daughter/life, he forces Ashe to switch places with him in public so he can stay hidden and safe. Only a select few people know of this arrangement. This of course means that sometimes (or most times) Ashe is there when Donovan is w/ his family raising Melinda's suspicions

Donovan is kidnapped. The people that organized Project Apple kidnapped Donovan and forced Ashe to take his place while they attempt to torture him and use Ashe to manipulate the government and politics to stop/continue the war

Donovan is in a coma. In an attempt to get the telepathic abilities he had some brain surgery done. After a while the surgery went bad and he slipped into a coma. In order to cover their tracks they used Ashe as a sub while they fight to wake him up

Donovan is dead. Whether it is from a botched surgery or some attack or whatever he is dead. Obviously the death of the (former) Prime Minister would have caused a lot of confusion and chaos, possibly even triggering an all out war. In order to maintain peace, Donovan needed to be alive so they replaced him with Ashe.

Obviously this would have happened after Damian was born (unless we want to go into freaky biology shit) but given the timeline Melinda suggested it's hard to understand how that would fit in with Anya's birth.

There is of course the alternative possibility that Ashe is controlling his mind but who knows idk.

My main proof? Donovan wears earrings. The end.

Sexuality:

Biromantic cupiosexual (as Pupipi)

Questioning (as Marty)

Gender: Female

Human weight: 103 lbs. (46 kg)

Martian design: She resembles a female Mars Quotidian, but stands at an impressive 8' 1" (246.38 cm), surpassing the standard height of female Martians. She has lifeless ultramarine eyes, Rebecca purple skin with a dogwood rose sheen, translucent apple green stinger tentacles, bittersweet shimmer leg tentacles, and coral pink suckers. The centre of her face features a massive, vaguely oval-shaped patch of scarred flesh, appearing as if it had been brutally torn away. The tip of her front leg tentacle had been ceremoniously severed, a symbol of her status as a Martian commander—a ritualistic tradition required by all who hold this position.

She alternates between three primary weapons: a lightweight ray gun, a custom-built spear she constructed herself, and two heavily modified grenade launchers. The grenade launchers, originally used by the Regular Army, have been extensively reworked and now resemble those wielded by the awakened Clone Eri in Metal Slug Attack. Her custom-built spear has a gauntlet-point shield in the centre of the shaft that serves as its grip and something to protect herself. The spear shaft is crafted from a 8' 7" (261.62 cm) slender cylinder of pearlescent bluish-white adamant. The base of the spear is tipped with a design similar to the top of the Martian staff, which is used for healing battle wounds, summoning lightning storms, and enveloping the user in a fiery aura. The spearhead features a greenish-blue halberd blade, secured to the shaft by three tight golden rings.

She possesses two vehicles: a Mars Gigantalos with the Martian race logo emblazoned on its chest, and a personalised Mars Elite Pepapiro (Mini-UFO). The latter was modified with Tarma Roving's assistance, equipped with dual 12mm Vulcan cannons, one mounted on each side.

Human design: As her human persona, Marty Aionion, she’s a 4' 11" (149.86 cm) sylph-like Caucasian girl who appears to be between the ages of 6 and 12. She has olive skin, a chipped upper right canine tooth, sparkling red-violet eyes, and brownish freckles scattered across her face and neck. Her cameo pink hair is styled in a straight bob with choppy, blunt-cut bangs and chin-length, layered, slightly curly sides.

She wears a pristine lab coat that reaches to her knees, along with the same goggles as Navel, but with purple-tinted lenses. She wears a greyish-green tank top, a silver-buckled chocolate cosmos belt, pale azure gloves, and lapis lazuli bloomer shorts with cargo pockets. Additionally, she also dons a lapis lazuli cat-eared beanie, dark purple knee pads, mid-calf solid pink socks, and Syracuse red-orange paratrooper boots. She has a Syracuse red-orange backpack, which contains her entire collection of Beanie Boos and six soda cans in various flavors: grape, cream, orange, cherry, cotton candy, and blue raspberry.

Character summary: She's very kind-hearted and sweet towards other Martians who share her progressive view of humanity and towards humans who demonstrate respect, responsibility, and environmental awareness. She strives to see the good in others and offer aid, but remains aware of her limitations, recognizing that some people are too entrenched in their ways to change. She can usually detect when someone is trying to take advantage of her, especially if she has known the person for a long time. However, she may struggle to identify psychological manipulation if the person appears genuinely sincere or if she isn't well-acquainted with them. She can be somewhat selfish, believing that her actions are for the benefit of those she cares about. She'll desperately seek solutions to her loved ones' problems, and if she makes mistakes, she'll own up to them and work to make things right.

Whenever she feels anxious or awkward, she often rubs her stinger tentacles together and looks back at those she trusts for emotional support. A reassuring nod or thumbs-up is enough to boost her confidence and help her relax, prompting a sigh of relief and encouraging her to maintain a level head. Her biggest supporters are her polyamorous partners, whom she deeply loves and would do anything to keep safe and happy. Her partners also serve as her closest comrades in war and her scientific and engineering colleagues, assisting her with strategic planning, commanding troops, building machines and weapons, conducting ethical experiments, and protecting her from sudden attacks. She's also a proud mother, viewing her children as precious and drawing motivation from them to face adversity with courage and diligence. When she's curious, she frequently tilts her head and gently probes whatever has caught her interest. She's easily startled by sudden noises or people approaching from behind, often letting out a loud squeak or an unearthly yet somewhat quiet squeal.

She's a well-organised, observant, and charismatic leader who ensures her plans run smoothly and prioritises everyone's safety. She constantly monitors the Pipovulaj's operations through a network of spies and detailed reports, ensuring she and her comrades are prepared for the eventual invasion of Earth. She deeply hates how the Pipovulaj ruthlessly eliminate members of the Pipakhroz, disregarding their shared heritage. However, she also believes that the Pipovulaj are capable of change by acknowledging their faults and becoming more open-minded to the idea of coexisting with humanity. She acknowledges that humanity isn’t perfect and has done various heinous things that disturb Earth’s equilibrium, but she knows that the Pipovulaj’s view of them is incredibly flawed and heavily biased. She's dedicated to protecting humanity from extraterrestrial threats because she regards humans as equals, and finds them, like all other life forms, extremely fascinating.

She's a strong advocate for peaceful coexistence, demonstrating great dedication to her cause and unwavering loyalty to the Mars People she serves and the humans she supports. She has a nurturing presence, offering motherly care and compassion to children and vulnerable individuals. She forms emotional attachments quickly with those she considers family or close friends. If they suddenly disappear, she becomes extremely distressed, often to the point of experiencing severe panic attacks that can impact her ability to work. With a burning desire to protect those who couldn’t defend themselves, she often displays a self-sacrificing nature. She’s willing to put herself at risk of severe injury or capture in order to stand up for what she believes is right and support her comrades. She's genuinely surprised that many high- and low-ranking Martians in the Pipakhroz revere her as a hero.

She has grown to somewhat dislike her nickname, Pupipi, because many humans jokingly tell her it sounds like a toilet joke. However, she's aware that among Mars People and Rootmars, Pupipi is an endearing and childish form of her given name. She's a passionate nature lover, often hugging trees, studying fauna and flora, planting flowers, and trying to befriend friendly animals. She's profoundly repulsed by environmental mistreatment and wildlife cruelty as her desire to protect and admire Earth's life is undermined by humanity's capacity to harm it. She would be disheartened if all humans and cybernetic beings feared Martians as her own kind is not universally driven by prejudice, conquest, and a desire to impose environmental stewardship through force.

She's an age regressor, reverting to a younger age when life's stresses become overwhelming. To cope, she's developed a unique persona named Marty Aionion. Marty is a bubbly, curious, and impressionable young girl with an enthusiasm for science, particularly outer space, chemistry, and animal biology. She's incredibly energetic and has a tendency to crash hard at bedtime, exhausting her physical energy reserves after a day of non-stop activity. She has a moderate level of self-awareness and a tomboyish spirit, often showing little interest in traditionally feminine pursuits. Marty frequently finds herself in playful and carefree misadventures, often at the most inconvenient moments. She also has a fondness for soda and enjoys playfully mimicking the effects of being tipsy.

As Pupipi and Marty, they both see Rootmars as a loving and overprotective mother who prioritises her leadership, planetary resources, and the Mars People above everything else. However, they're frustrated that Rootmars refuses to reconsider her discriminatory views on humans and recognize that coexistence is essential for protecting Earth's resources and transforming humanity's ecological perspective. They long to be closer to their creatress, whom they love deeply, but their conflicting views and Rootmars' ruthlessness and distrust of the Pipakhroz make it a challenging goal.

As Pupipi, she has a strained relationship with Celaphios, fueled by her deep-seated prejudice against Invaders. She views Invaders as ruthless destroyers and irredeemable exploiters of planets. As a result, she sees no reason to treat Celaphios with the same dignity and respect as humans and other life forms, often coming across as dismissive and condescending in her interactions with him. As Marty, she's deeply terrified of Celaphios due to his Invader origins, causing her to keep her distance for fear of getting hurt. Despite this, she makes a conscious effort to be friendly and welcoming towards him, even though she's aware that Invaders are the natural predators of her own people.

As Pupipi, she feels profound sympathy for Wysteria, perceiving her as a lost child who lashes out at the world due to her struggles to understand humanity. She provides Wysteria with motherly care, ensuring her well-being and safety from mistreatment by the comrades who only view her as a monstrous bioweapon. She has grown fond of Pocke, whom she views as the sweetest being, finding enjoyment in babysitting and educating him about the Martian lifestyle and beliefs. Furthermore, she deeply admires Walter's selfless decision to raise a Martian child as his own, finding his actions truly commendable. As Marty, she regards Wysteria as a quiet, grumpy, and gentle-hearted friend. She greatly enjoys sharing simple pleasures with Wysteria, such as exploring nature and playing with plushies. She finds Pocke irresistibly adorable and is amused by his mischievous antics, especially when he gets into trouble with Midori.

As Pupipi, she holds Raubtier, Malkuth, and Draco in high esteem, regarding them as her own children. She's deeply disturbed by the Invaders' brutal takeover of Raubtier's home planet and the extinction of the Neptunians. She's also concerned about his coping mechanism of preying on living things when he's feeling melancholic and emotionally overwhelmed, recognizing it as unhealthy. She encourages Malkuth's passion for radio technology and nurtures her innate benevolence. However, she's concerned about her unstable and immature mind, fearing that her harsh tendency to purge evildoers without hesitation could potentially spiral out of control.

She has a good relationship with Draco and is able to translate for him due to his inability to speak the human language and his lack of fluency in perfect Marsinese. Nevertheless, she makes a conscious effort to ensure that Draco's competitive nature and love of sparring don't cause any severe problems. As Marty, she regards Raubtier, Malkuth, and Draco as her closest friends, thoroughly enjoying their company and finding them to be beautifully captivating individuals.

Backstory: Pupazivoy was born a decade before the Mesozoic Era. She was the second female Mars Quotidian and the fourth Martian to be created by Rootmars during an experiment aimed at creating living beings to alleviate her loneliness and bring new meaning to her life. The first generation of Pipomarzu, now known as Martians or Mars People, were all sexually mature adults, but were initially curious, impressionable, and childlike. Rootmars, who had constructed a language that would eventually be named Marsinese, gave each of them names; Pupazivoy was the first to receive her name. Following Rootmars' comprehensive education on various subjects, Pupazivoy developed a fascination with laser technology, robotics, chemistry, and genetic engineering. Recognizing the potential for a fulfilling life, she took the initiative to delve deeper into these areas of interest.

It was a steep learning curve because Rootmars wasn't a fully competent leader at the time and was still getting accustomed to the role, learning everything required to sustain an alien empire. However, the inhabitants of the Rugname persevered, determined to prove themselves worthy of their existence and make their creatress proud. To simplify the task, Pupazivoy focused on the malfunctioning cloning room of the Rugname. While others struggled to repair it, fearing a catastrophic explosion or disruption of the fragile stasis chamber, she effortlessly restored the room to working order within a week. To test her handiwork, she created a nearly identical clone of herself, naming it Pepacluvix. This clone would later become the namesake for a term referring to Martian clones. This achievement impressed Rootmars and earned Pupazivoy admiration from the other Pipomarzu. However, some were secretly jealous of her natural talent and the praise she received from their creatress.

She earned the nickname "Pupipi" from her closest friends and trusted acquaintances, who worked alongside her and shared an interest in her areas of expertise. As the first generation of Pipomarzu grew older and matured mentally and emotionally, she became more familiar with robotics, bioengineering, and chemistry. She made important advancements in the Pipomarzu's machinery by building lightweight and heavyweight ray guns, Mini-UFOs, Hopper Mechas, and Laser Ring Mechas using the limited resources available on the mothership. Believing that her people might require additional defense capabilities and seeking efficient ways to eliminate enemies, she created a wide variety of poisons using chemical samples available on the Rugname. Following the creation of the Brain Robot, designed to facilitate easy command of the Laser Ring Mechas, she went on to care for numerous infants and raise a large family of her own, consisting of up to twenty-five children. Her partners consisted of Pizuklamo, a male Mars Elite, Povrukaziy, a female Mars Garrison, and two male Mars Quotidians, Pepuxofhla and Puvjadhosi.

Pepacluvix suffered mistreatment at the hands of the Pipomarzu, who viewed it with distrust and saw it as a pale imitation of Pupipi. Driven by burning jealousy and hatred, they regarded Pepacluvix merely as a super soldier, ignoring its glaring lack of basic self-defence skills. Noticing Pepacluvix struggled to fit in with the other Pipomarzu, she went to great lengths to test the limits of bioengineering. After several weeks of intensive experimentation, mutation, and surgery, she successfully created what she considered to be her true masterpiece: Pupekloitha. She imbued her artificial life form with the ability to articulate, understand, and speak all known languages, utilise limitless telepathy and mind-reading, and forcibly displace both tangible and intangible foes, transporting them to entirely different locations beyond her range of vision and mental map of the current area she's in. She can manipulate earthly energy and silence, intercept radio signals in outer space, wield diamond-hard strength, and remain invulnerable to forces as powerful as twenty nuclear explosions. Additionally, she can launch five bolts of cosmic energy to incinerate anything living or dead in heavenly flames by opening the eyes in her torso, glowing a fiery blue. She can also utilise echolocation to effortlessly locate hidden treasures throughout the universe and create a rhomboid blue energy shield in front of her to block incoming attacks.

With resources dwindling and the Rugname's proxy poised to disrupt the electricity supply at any moment, Rootmars tasked the Pipomarzu with finding a habitable planet and assisting in the construction of a new proxy. Although Pupipi had a designated role, she took charge, directing her comrades and Pupekloitha to locate a resource-rich planet. Meanwhile, she and the others remained behind to draft blueprints for the Rugname's new proxy. With Pupekloitha's help, they soon discovered Kepler-62f, a terraformed planet abundant in resources.

After the Invaders accepted the Pipomarzu, Pupipi initially found it difficult to trust them. She was uncertain if they could be considered true allies, and their indifferent attitude towards her and her species only deepened her concerns. Nevertheless, she tried to remain optimistic about the alliance, not wanting to cause immense worry for Rootmars as she was being trained to become a better ruler. Utilising the resources the Invaders had on hand, as well as those acquired through collaborative conquests, Pupipi and her coworkers developed various Martian weapons and machines, including the Mars Walkers and portable communication devices. She also assisted Rootmars in creating the Parasites, which would significantly aid the Invaders' conquests and survival.

With the Pipovulaj established, Pupipi harboured a burning desire to protect the weak. However, years of relentless work had taken a toll on her physical health, leaving her fragile. Rootmars noticed her condition and, with Pupipi's consent, subjected her to an experimental procedure designed to enhance her powers. This experiment would alter her physical form and grant her more psionic abilities, nearly rivaling those of Rootmars herself.

When she noticed that four of her children and a son of Povrukaziy had gone missing, she was worried sick about their safety to the point where she couldn’t even work. So, she and her romantic partners went looking for their missing children, wondering what had happened to them. During the search, they stumbled upon the Invader King’s hive for the first time. As they carefully investigated the area, they witnessed a group of Invader Drones sexually assaulting a female alien, who was taken captive during a conquest of 61 Virginis b. This traumatic scene left them deeply disturbed, prompting them to flee back to the Rugname and report to their creatress that there is something terrible going on behind the scenes. This proved to be a turning point, leading Rootmars to uncover the truth about the missing Martian infants and the Invaders' true intentions, permanently severing ties with the Invader King.

Upon landing on Mars, the Pipomarzu were greeted by a handful of surviving draconic lizards, slowly nearing extinction. These winged creatures possess fiery breath, immense strength capable of tearing through steel and mountains, effortless flight, and the ability to breathe in the vacuum of space. They can also shapeshift into two-legged serpents known as Sea Dragons, which grant them the ability to control the waves. They can summon six or eight monolithic, crystalline tridents from the clouds that shatter into sharp shards of hail upon impact with the ground, easily swim through the air and vacuum of space, and exhibit exceptional diving skills. Pupipi played a pivotal role in forging a peace treaty between the two races, stating that the Pipomarzu would uphold their environmental stewardship and care for the Martian lizards and their home planet. Following the establishment of the treaty and the peaceful settlement on Mars, Pupipi befriended a Martian lizard, referred to as a Paplozurde by her kind. She named him Dracoini Cepholaus, or Draco for short, as a tribute to her creatress' star system, situated near the celestial boundary of the Cepheus, Ursa Minor, and Draco constellations.

She was promoted to commander shortly after aiding the Martians in stopping the Invaders' conquest of Jupiter. Alongside Pupekloitha and Draco, she successfully led a counterattack to protect the Monoeyes' UFO, Danu, from destruction and capture by the Morph Changers. Although she was devastated to discover that the Brain Robot had been confiscated by the Invaders, Pupekloitha reassured her that they would retrieve her creation when their paths crossed again. Shortly after the war, she began to age regress due to the cumulative stress of managing multiple jobs, the traumatic event she witnessed in the Invader King's hive, and a deep-seated desire for safety that surfaces when she feels overwhelmed by fear.

She witnessed the same phenomena as Rootmars when observing the evolution and forgotten history of Earth, which she kept to herself and only shared with the Monoeyes. She developed a strong fascination with humanity, finding their thought processes and actions peculiar and captivating. Alongside her romantic partners and a few coworkers, Pupipi conducted studies on humans to observe their behaviour and environmental impact. During this period, Pupekloitha renamed herself Malkuth, feeling a profound psychic connection to the physical world.

She began to notice Rootmars' disdain towards humanity and their treatment of Earth’s resources, reminiscent of the Invaders' environmental disregard. This deeply concerned her, as she, her romantic partners, and some friends and acquaintances believed humanity had the capacity to change for the better and not all humans mistreated the environment. However, they kept this belief private, observing that many Martians shared Rootmars' perspective and harboured potential ideas of claiming Earth for themselves. Their first attempt at conquering Earth failed when Tequila and Red Eye dismantled the rogue military organisation the Pipovulaj had collaborated with. The Pipovulaj had planned to betray the organisation once most of humanity had succumbed to their bioterrorist attack, which aimed to turn humans into Man Eaters. She served as one of the leading commanders during that time and had a brief skirmish with Tequila. Following their encounter, she sustained severe facial scars inflicted by his combat knife.

During the Arms Deal Barrage, following the formation of the alliance between the Serapion Fellowship and Pipovulaj, Rootmars and Pupipi led a robotics project focused on developing advanced weaponry to support their joint efforts. Collaborating with the mechanics and engineers of the Serapion Fellowship, they successfully designed and constructed several key assets for the Pipovulaj and Ptolemaios' army, including the Mars Gigantalos, Mars Battle UFO, Ptolemaic Saucer, Hover Unit, D-001 Tanbal, and the standard-issue handguns used by the masked soldiers. Additionally, she commanded a small contingent of Martian youth recruits, assigning them to conduct surveillance operations. Once the Arms Deal Barrage was over, she oversaw cloning experiments using the corpses of fallen Serapion Fellowship soldiers and cultists. Her goal was to determine whether the Rugname's cloning room could produce clones from dead bodies and explore the consequences of cloning without a host, using only the lingering DNA in the stasis chamber.

Upon learning of Rootmars' intentions for the latest Martian machines and cloning experiments, she was deeply unsettled by the prospect of conquering Earth when the time came. She was disheartened by the pervasive bias among many Martians, including some long-time colleagues, who viewed humans as an inferior species due to their perceived disregard for the environment. Compounding her distress was the weight of guilt she carried for the lives lost among the Martian youths under her command during the Arms Deal Barrage. These concerns ultimately led Pupipi to devise a rebellion in collaboration with her romantic partners, children, Malkuth, Draco, and a network of supportive coworkers, friends, and acquaintances who shared her vision and were equally disillusioned with Pipovulaj's morally objectionable plans and dehumanising views on humanity.

After gathering substantial resources, establishing a secret base in Greenland's uninhabited regions, and meticulously preparing their strategy, she launched her rebellion against the Pipovulaj. Pupipi and her allies orchestrated a series of heists, plundering valuable assets from the Pipovulaj, including the blueprints for the Rugname, cloning technology, and Martian weaponry. This rebellion successfully stalled the Pipovulaj's military expansion and machinery development by several months. Rootmars initially refrained from interfering, believing the conflict to be a massive misunderstanding that the parties involved could resolve on their own. However, as the fight showed no signs of ending, Martian casualties mounted, and the Pipovulaj were on the brink of collapse, Rootmars intervened. She promptly exiled Pupipi and her comrades, issuing a stern warning that she would obliterate them if they dared to show their faces again. This event ultimately led Pupipi to establish the Pipakhroz, a Martian splinter cell dedicated to thwarting the Pipovulaj's ambitions and safeguarding humanity.

During the Great Morden War, Pupipi, Malkuth, Draco, her romantic partners, and the Pipakhroz maintained a low profile. They observed the conflict between the Rebel Army and the remaining Regular Army forces. She managed to get a close-up view of the battle in Käthehirt Valley using her Mini-UFO, briefly witnessing the confrontation between Allen O'Neil and a team of Regular Army commandos. Afterwards, she returned to the smaller mothership replica of the Rugname and continued assisting her comrades with its construction. She wondered if an alliance with the Regular Army might be possible when the time arose. During this period, they seized the opportunity to build up their arsenal and gather intelligence on the Pipovulaj's activities, while Malkuth spent a year and a half traveling throughout the Solar System.

Shortly after the Rebel Army and Pipovulaj formed their alliance, they captured a mysterious alien residing in Earth's ocean while testing out a Hozmi-class submarine. The alien was held captive on Pallas Island, home to many mutated creatures. Ferdinand dubbed it "Raubtier" after it managed to prey on several Martians and Rebel soldiers during the capture. Confined by tight ropes, the alien felt scared and unable to utilise its malleable body to shapeshift into anything it could imagine, prompting it to seek help. It transmitted telepathic waves that resonated as swooshing sounds to those attuned to hear them.

Disguised Pipakhroz troops intercepted the distress calls and launched a rescue mission, overwhelming the small contingent of Rebel Army and Pipovulaj troops stationed on Pallas Island with the aid of Draco and Malkuth. Once freed, Raubtier became a valuable ally, expressing its gratitude for being saved. It shared with the Pipakhroz that it originally lived on Neptune before being displaced by the Invaders. Raubtier was then forced to move to Earth's oceans, which reminded it of outer space. This new environment served as a distraction from the painful reality that it was the last remaining Neptunian. She studied that Raubtier can lift three super-heavy tanks, split itself into four weaker versions, and spew out a large pool-sized puddle of ocean water to summon two sets of six tentacles, along with two disembodied, carnivorous, fiery mouths to bite and burn its enemies.

After receiving intel from her trusted spies that the Rebel Army and the Pipovulaj were planning to launch their coup within days, Pupipi decided that forming an alliance with the Regular Army was the best course of action. However, with limited knowledge of the military group's operations and uncertain about their location, they embarked on a search for a Regular Army base. After four days of searching, they finally discovered the Sparrowhawk Operations Base and discreetly landed their newly completed mothership, the Martian Helicarrier, in the vicinity. Pupipi contacted Marco's recently assembled team, who were still recovering from the aftermath of the Great Morden War and awaiting their next mission. After establishing trust, which didn't come easily for Marco and the others, they held a meeting at the Joint Military Operations Headquarters. Following a lengthy discussion about the nature of the Pipakhroz and the dangerous ambitions of the Pipovulaj, a second imminent Rebel Army coup was revealed. As a result, an alliance was forged between the Pipakhroz and Regular Army.

During the Extraterrestrial Alliance Clash, the Pipakhroz primarily functioned as spies, gathering intelligence on the Rebel Army's and Pipovulaj's strategic plans as well as identifying locations of deployed Martian troops. Whenever Pipovulaj troops were deployed in the same location as Marco's team, they provided crucial support, helping them push back against Rootmars' military forces. Their collaborative efforts led to the destruction of the Big Shiee, damaging the Rugname, and the capture of General Morden. Pupipi, Malkuth, Draco, and Raubtier vividly recall the frustration and defeat felt by the Pipakhroz and Marco's team when they discovered that the captured General Morden was actually a disguised Mars Quotidian troop. Much to their dismay, they learned that the real General Morden had been hiding inside the Rugname all along.

The Regular Army discovered her capabilities as a scientist after she assisted their available scientists in studying the biochemistry of the Mutated Soldiers they had captured during a secret cleanup operation. Wanting to cultivate a positive professional relationship with the Pipakhroz, the higher-ups approached Pupipi and inquired if she would be interested in leading their science division. Ecstatic about the opportunity to further assist humans and apply her scientific skills, she happily agreed to the request. With her expertise and strong rapport with the scientists, she has helped them become the best in their field, serving as their new and ethical version of Doctor Amadeus.

Doctor/Rose Mutant AU Plot Bunny

Dr. John Smith (i had the 10th doctor in my mind when i wrote this but you do you) is a mutant known as The Doctor throughout history. He's the founder of the Torchwood Institute, an organisation that gives a safe haven to mutants all over the world since 1941. It's run by Captain Jack Harkness, a mutant with Rapid Cellular Regeneration, meaning he heals real quick, so quick that it has slowed his aging so much he's practically immortal and has run the institute since its founding.

The Doctor's ability is Space/Time Manipulation. He's a prodigy, university level at 10 y/o. He discovers his mutant abilities young, but cannot control them yet. When he's a teenager he makes his first long accidental jump to the near future. 2030 or something like that. More than half of the population of the world is gone in a war, mutants are completely extinct. He spends a year in this future before he’s able to control his own abilities and jump again back to his own time. He returns from the accidental jump and decides he needs to change the course of history to change the future so he embarks in a journey through time to save humanity. He calls himself the Doctor so he isn’t found.

In present day a powerful mutant with Telepathic-Telekinetic abilities, code-named Bad Wolf, is trapped in a government facility dedicated to exterminate mutants. They say that in the wrong hands the power of Bad Wolf could be disastrous.

Donna Noble, vice principal of Torchwood and an empath, connects with Bad Wolf through the fear she's projecting. The Doctor must break Bad Wolf out the facility and protect her and maybe with that save the world.

And of course, because I'm a timepetals shipper the doctor and rose fall in love through the rescue and reacclimatising her to life outside the facility after being trapped in there for so long.

Torchwood Institute:

Amy and Melody use the name Williams because they were hiding the fact that they were mutants until they're found out and run away to Torchwood. Rory follows them there because he won't abandon his family.

Government (i didn't actually think about the name of the organisation but you know, fuck the government)

The Master - Power Negation/Pretends to be Non-Mutant

Clara Oswald - Memory Manipulation (she works for them until she gets to run away with the Doctor)

Adam Mitchel - Non-Mutant

Owen Harper - Non-Mutant

A/N: i decided to post some of the ideas i had for fics that for a while were only collecting dust in my drive. i'm trying to finish the series that i started back in 2020 that i completed the outline but life got in the way so i haven't written anything in a while. i also have a lot of incomplete ideas but i don't think i'll write most of them so i'll share what i have and if this inspires some of you please feel free to write this and share it with me so i can go and read it 🥰 also, this is as far as the idea got, i hadn't watched anything with the 13th doctor when i wrote this so i didn't get to how her companions would fit in this au but feel free to add them if you like. this was born as a doctor/rose fic so everything else was an after thought, though i always try to give space to every character i write that's why i had notes of so many of them

Verse- Marvel AU Deadpool variant

Originally Katerina Petrova, Katherine was born in Bulgaria to a family with archaic morals. So when she had a not so happy run in with a man who manipulated her and ended up having a baby out of wed lock she was disowned and exiled. Never saw her baby again- GASP! So FAR!

Katerina found her way to the Americas where she integrated into the culture very quickly, learning to drop her accent in record time and the language almost as fast. Three months in and you could hardly tell she wasn't native.

Katerina got a job waiting tables at a local diner but was still struggling to make ends meet. One day a man named Trevor approached her and told her of an opportunity where she could earn some money if she was willing to undergo an experimental procedure. He billed it as low risk, and the possibility to help people. After a few days debate, Katerina accepted the offer and was taken to meet a man named Klaus Mikaelson.

As it turns out it was actually highly invasive and was meant to trigger dormant mutant genes into activation. (after his mother had done something similar to him and his siblings he became obsessed with perfecting and unleashing his true potential)

It took a long time to trigger Kathrine's and the process was excruciatingly painful. Needless to say her social standing with this fuck is not friendly. One night while running her mouth Klaus sent her to a torture chamber of sorts to teach her a lesson that ultimately ended up triggering her dormant Gene and how she escaped. In doing so she destroyed his whole facility and every bit of research data he had gathered (hes very old school he doesnt like computers "impersonal" and "Hackable") Jokes on him at least they're less flammable.

Angered with her slight against him Klaus set about a mission to kill her for what she had done, which has kept Katerina, now Katherine on the run for quite a few years.

Down the road while living under the radar Katherine learned how to fight, and got damn good at it. She also met a man named Stefan Salvatore who she fell for instantly. This proved a problem several years into their relationship when she caught wind Klaus was on her tail and had to bolt without explanation. Obviously to protect him.

Powers and weaknesses: oooooo patriotic

immune to all sickness

hella regeneration factor she can regrow limbs and even her entire body if need be

super strength and speed

healing factor

telepathic resistance

immortality

the most insane wit you've ever heard

highly trained and skilled fighter.

Sharp retractable fangs (oop! Didn't think I'd leave out her vampirism roots did you?)

runs her mouth way too much

breaks the 4th wall

needs blood to be able to function correctly* (preferably human)

Incredible allergy to direct sunlight, it burns her skin like acid

wood slows her regenerative abilities

Wishes Stefan were Wolverine and gets lost in day dreams.

*Little side note thingie down here-

If she doesn't drink blood all of her powers weaken but mostly she gets this horrible brain fog that prevents her from thinking clearly and she will eventually desiccate and be rendered a cognitive husk- still immortal. It's not pretty folks.

The suit actually is designed to protect her from the sun. It's why shes covered head to toe.

[gallifreyinstituteforlearning]

what protections do gallifreyans naturally have against forced memory loss such as RETCON that isn't caused by a Chameleon Arch? (and how do they vary from the added protections that a Time Lord might have)

What are some Gallifreyan protections against forced memory loss?

🛡️ Natural Protections

Eidetic Memory: Gallifreyans, especially Time Lords, have an eidetic memory, allowing them to recall extraordinarily detailed memories from the past few centuries. This robust memory storage is a theoretical buffer against many memory erasure techniques, making it harder to permanently erase their memories simply because there's just so damn much of it.

Lateral Interpositus Nucleus: This part of the brain in Gallifreyans is linked to conditioning and memory implantation and seems to be a bit more susceptible than other methods, but it makes a false memory isolated.

The Limbic System: Gallifreyans' limbic system is highly developed, allowing them to zip-file memories for long-term storage. This means that even if a memory is tampered with or erased, it could be retrieved later with the right stimuli, like chronon particles (though overuse isn't advised due to radiation risks).

Telepathic Defenses: Time Lords have enhanced psionic abilities, which include telepathic defences. These defences can detect and counteract attempts at memory tampering. Their ability to create psychic barriers around their thoughts can prevent unauthorised access and manipulation.

Genetic Modifications: Time Lords have genetic enhancements that allow them access to their planet's collective memories through the Matrix. This connection to ancestral memory provides a backup of sorts, making it difficult to permanently erase or alter their personal memories.

Advanced Healing and Regeneration: The ability to regenerate can also serve as a defence mechanism. During the regenerative process, damaged or altered brain parts, including those affected by memory erasure techniques, can be repaired and restored to their original state.

🩺 Biological Resilience

Drug Absorption: Gallifreyan biology is highly efficient at breaking down substances, including drugs. This means that Retcon, which relies on being absorbed into the system to work, would require significantly higher doses to have the same effect as it would on humans. Even then, the absorption might be too slow to fully erase memories before the body's defences kick in.

Gas Absorption: Gallifreyans have a respiratory bypass system that allows them to survive without inhaling harmful substances. This makes them resistant to gas-based memory erasure methods, such as Retcon gas, which must be inhaled to take effect.

Neural Pathway Redundancy: Gallifreyans might have multiple redundant neural pathways in their brains (leave that theory with me for a while). If one pathway is compromised by memory erasure techniques, the information could still be accessed through alternative routes.

Self-Induced Memory Rewiring: Gallifreyans have the ability to see 'dead spots' in their brain, and can rewire their own neural pathways to bypass areas potentially affected by memory tampering. This self-induced neuroplasticity could allow them to recover memories that have been altered or erased.

🏫 So ...

Gallifreyans possess a pick n mix of protections against forced memory loss/alteration/implantation. Their advanced brain structures, robust memory systems, and psionic abilities make them highly resistant to measly things like Retcon. While it's very possible for their memories to be tampered with, trying to erase a Gallifreyan's memories is like trying to delete a file from a computer with multiple backup systems—it’s not going to be easy, and they might just remember that you tried.

Paris Rhodes Bio

Full Name: Paris Alexei Rhodes

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual

Shippable?: Very

Height: 6'2 (188cm)

Patron Arcana: TBD

Personality: Paris is a hands-on sort of person with a thirst for new ideas and experiences; he loves taking things apart to see how they work, or building new things. He's naturally creative and has no problem with using trial and error to problem-solve. He also has a wanderlust and impulsive energy that can't seem to be sated. He's quite sociable, despite being introverted. He loves teasing the people close to him, but is easily flustered when said behavior is directed at him. He's very loyal to the few people he lets into his inner circle.

Paris is also very stubborn and prone to being insensitive at times. He keeps his emotions and personal life incredibly private, making him difficult to get to know. He has a fear of commitment, and often leaves relationships once they start to get comfortable (but if presented as a challenge, he could be persuaded to stay). He's very prone to risky behavior, especially when he's bored--which happens a little too easily.

Magic Abilities:

Botanokinesis: Paris can control plants. This includes being able to summon, mutate, grow, or otherwise manipulate any manner of plant or vegetation.

Herbalism: Paris has extensive knowledge of plants and their properties, and is able to use this knowledge to create various potions and medicines.

Geokinesis: Paris can somewhat manipulate earth, but this ability is fairly limited.

Protection: Paris can use painted glyphs and runes to set shielding spells around a small area. These spells function as a blacklist, disallowing those with harmful intentions to cross.

Familiar: Paris has a close magical bond with his familiar, Hermes; a large Galbradan eagle-owl. They can communicate telepathically, and being in close proximity to Hermes boosts Paris's magic.

History:

Paris was born in Hellenes, the capital of the Republic of Galbrada, to a Galbradan priestess and a minor politician. He was unplanned, leaving his parents unsure of what to do with him; he had two older siblings who already had set plans for their lives, and the parents hadn't anticipated needing to come up with a goal to raise a third child for. They did their best to encourage him towards being a civil engineer, since he displayed a love of building as a young child, but he usually ended up doing his own thing instead. Often, this meant wandering away from the family's home and ending up in some sort of trouble.

At the age of 12, Paris was attending a formal event with his parents when he met Mórnkan Drakos, the 8 year old child of the richest family in the Republic. He found her interesting, especially because they had similar taste in books, and the two quickly became friends. They remained good friends and pen pals for many years.

When Paris turned 16, his parents sent him to the University of Hellenes to study for a few years. It was during this time that he took a great interest in botany; before then, he thought his magic was fun, but ultimately trivial. Studying botany gave him ample reason to strengthen his magic. During this time, he befriended an eagle-owl chick on campus, who he named Hermes and kept around as a friend. Despite his questionable work ethic, he graduated near the top of his class at age 22.

Shortly after graduating, Paris went back to his old trouble-finding ways, now aided by his stronger magic. This culminated in him being caught in the crossfire of attempted arson. He wasn't actually involved for once, but was arrested anyway. His parents decided that enough was enough after bailing him out, and sent him away to travel. They hoped it would help ground him. His travels did not have the intended effect, instead causing him to develop a taste for raucous parties and fling relationships.

At age 30, he found himself in the small city-state of Vesuvia and decided to stay for longer than usual. He currently bounces from job to job in order to pay for a little apartment in Center City.

Trivia:

He has the same MBTI type as Asra. Coincidentally, ISTP is the exact opposite of Morgan's MBTI type.

He's surprisingly strong for someone with scholarly tendencies. He likes to joke that he trains his muscles in order to be able to pick up Morgan.

His voice claim is still up in the air, but a strong contender is Christian Bale as Howl Pendragon Jenkins in Howl's Moving Castle.

His favorite fruit is pomegranate.

He has almost certainly hooked up with Julian at some point.

He and Morgan used to be in a friends-with-benefits relationship, but it didn't last very long.

He despises mushrooms; they're the only plant-like thing he can't control.

🌟 The Atlas Six Characters

I put together little mood boards of all the major Atlas Six characters. This is how I personally imagined each one of them. I also included brief descriptions of their respective powers.

Libby Rhodes

A morally righteous, anxious, and intelligent physicist with the tendency to light things on fire when angry. She controls the various forces of physics and loves learning about space and various physical principles. She also wants to research neurodegenerative conditions as her sister died from one. She has a long standing academic rivalry with Nico De Varona, whom she possibly admires. She may also have feelings for Tristan Caine. Ezra is her ex-boyfriend.

Tristan Caine

A venture capitalist working in a major company called Wessex corp. He has the ability to see atomic structures. Tristan has several dormant powers that he later learns to activate with the help of Nico. He has the most powerful and promising powers of the group as his powers edge on both illusionary and physical. He can manipulate quanta itself and in theory can bend the rules of the universe. He used to be friends with Callum and has a budding love for Libby.

Parisa Kamali

Parisa is a seasoned telepath who can both read minds and communicate mentally. She can dive into the depths of people's minds, even their subconscious. She is known to be very seductive, her past, and future motives remain unclear. She has taken interest in Dalton and often challenges Atlas, who is also a fellow telepath. She sees and hears all. But her mind remains a mystery.

Callum Nova

Sneaky, clever, and detached, Callum sticks out of the group. He is the least liked among his members. Callum can alter and manipulate people's emotional states to make them do his bidding. He has a formidable power in which he can end someone's life without even lifting a finger. Callum is arrogant, self-centered, and sly. But, he is dually complexed and shuts out his feelings in an effort to not feel others' emotions. His motives remain unclear. However, he does lend a hand when his friends are in need.

Nico De Varona

Nico is boyish, playful, and ambitious. He likes to be first. He likes to be a winner. He is likeable and friendly. He is a physicist like Libby. He can also control physical forces. However, he has a proclivity for causing earthquakes in emotional duress. He has a long standing academic rivalry with Libby, possibly some feelings too. However, he also seems to harbor feelings for his best friend Gideon. Nico loves competing and learning.

Reina Mori

Reina is the social recluse. She simply wants to learn and expand her powers. She has nature powers. Reina can hear and talk to plants. She can also manipulate nature into doing her bidding. She has a tremendous amount of energy and often gets used as a battery pack for her peers' magic. Reina is fascinated by Gods and the origins of the universe. She is determined to become a God herself. Reina seems to harbor feelings for Nico, though she has a friendly relationship with Callum. She holds a specific resentment for Parisa.

Atlas Blakely

The elusive and mysterious caretake of the Alexandrian Library and it's society. He used to be friends with Ezra and was a former Alexandrian intiate. Atlas is a powerful telepath on a mission to curate a new world. He harbors many secrets and somehow seems to know everything. Atlas's motives remain unclear.

Ezra Fowler

Ezra is a powerful time traveler and former Alexandrian initiate. He used to be friends with Atlas. Ezra began a resistance group against the Alexandrian Society. He is on a mission to stop Atlas's master plan. Ezra loves Libby, but crosses limits in order to protect her and foil Atlas's grand plan. Ezra is secretive, cunning, and unpredictable. His motives also remain unclear.

Gideon Drake

Gideon is Nico's best friend. He also is in love with Nico. Gideon can travel through people's dreams. He can also communicate through dreams. Gideon is a unique species as he was born from a Mermaid. Gideon is kind, compassionate, friendly, and is a gentle ball of sunshine.

Dalton Ellery

Researcher and assistant to Atlas, Dalton is his wing man. He is privy to many of Atlas's secrets but it careful to keep things under wraps. Dalton is quiet, evasive, and secretive. He is an animator. He can create human-like projections with primitive consciousness. He is currently researching how to create life in it's entirety, complete with a full conscious. He is romantically interested in Parisa. Dalton also harbors a second split identity that is ambitious, sinister, and sly, in his subconscious. He is essentially like Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Well, that is it! I hope you enjoyed this little run down of the Atlas Six characters! @olivieblake

Boruto: Tenchijin Chapter Five

Title: Seduction & Lasciviousness

Summary: Chaos Arrives

'Ino.'

'On it.'

Shikamaru was never able to trust Amado for his manipulative and dishonest nature, pretending to be a weakling and hopeless but capable of escaping situations where death is supposed to be inevitable.

In Shikamaru's eyes, Kawaki was no different from Amado. At least not after Naruto's and Hinata's assassination. Sarada and Sumire have had telepathic conversations with him in the past, and while he can guess why they believe the memories of world were altered by omnipotence and Boruto is not evil, the proof simply ceases to matter in matter of mere instants because of the ungodly curse of the female senrigan-bearer. She can only partially be wary of the potential terrible threat Shikamaru and Amado pose. For now, those two have their own uses and are cooperating with konoha and that prevents Shikamaru from eliminating them.

However, it doesn't stop him from being extra precautious. Ino has known Shikamaru for roughly twenty five years, she was able to contact him using her mind body transmission technique and agreed to assist him. While Ino and Shikamaru know that this is 'violation of the regs', They still share crucial information with Konohamaru who has no intention of having Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane becoming the same influential politicians they were during his great grandfather's reign for they have corrupted the system alongside Danzo Shimura.

'The private line is ready.' Ino says.

'Good. Now, get Ada on the line.' Shikamaru asks.

'Done.' Ino responds.

'I hope you are having a wonderful dream, Shikamaru-kun.' Ada greets the elder man.

'Not exactly, but i appreciate it. How is it going?' Shikamaru questions Ada.

'Well, Mitsuki is an attentive guardian. I can feel his might growing ever so strongly, there is no doubt he can protect me from almost anything and anyone.' Ada answers.

'You know i didn't mean that.' Shikamaru utters.

'Yes. It's quite impossible for you to comprehend just how Omnipotence works, which likely is due to unique traits of senrigan or spell casted upon it by the original bearer of the all-seeing eyes. An external force repels my consciousness whenever i try to understand this ability, thus i can only just speculate like you.' Ada states.

'Is this... Shibai's will...?' Shikamaru ponders.

'Most probably. If Amado is actually telling the truth, then Shibai can see the past, the present and the future of infinite timelines as he has transcended space and time, and everything seems to be going in the direction he sees... safe.'

'Tch.'

'And no, if this theory is true, then you can't cancel this technique even if something succeeds to kill me. I'm not sure if one can change this fate if their wish is to sever that cursed nexus.'

'That's enough negativity for today, Ada-chan.' Ino says.

'I'd like to apologize, but that will be futile. I didn't mean for this to happen...' Ada mutters.

'I'd like to believe that... i really do...' Shikamaru whispers.

'Yeah...' Ada says.

'Thank you, Ada. You may leave the rest to us now.' Shikamaru says.

'Don't push yourself too hard.' Ada tells Shikamaru.

'Bye, Ada-chan.' Ino disconnects Ada from the private line.

Shikamaru leans back and runs fingers through his hair, lighting up a cigarette and puts it between his dry lips.

'Asuma... this is such a drag. I'm glad i wasn't qualified to become a hokage.' Shikamaru says, still on private line.

'Go home and rest. Temari is gonna be pissed off at you if you keep doing this.' Ino tells Shikamaru.

'Right...'

'Give it time. We will find the solution.'

'That is a must for us.'

In the endless void, herald of light opposes force of darkness.

An immortal sage and an indestructible beast.

An eight dimensional space-time far away from the timeline where Hagoromo and Hamura were bornt in two thousand fourty two years ago, has been reduced to nothingness amidst their apocalyptic clash. Each blow bearing enough energy to shatter fabric of reality and lay waste to abstract concepts.

Sixteen months and neither warriors have shown the wish to surrender nor have they retreated to gather strength. A testament of indomitable willpowers, their might beyond comprehension.

The man and the monster's fists collide, their arms get obliterate and in less than an attosecond, the transcendent entities regenerate their lost organs. No matter what they do, their physical forms will be reformed as long as their souls are not destroyed. Their essence is virtually incorporeal, shall not be obliterated unless an omnipotent god wills it.

"Look at you. A shell of your former self, clinging to ideals of an optimistic fool that you worship... you run away from your inner shadow. There's only suffering and lamentation that awaits you in this path unless..." The beast utters, her eyes glowing with flames of lust and greed.

This beast is named Jahi. A demoness, incarnation of all sins and dark in existence. An absolute evil that cannot be reasoned with.

In her 'human' form, Jahi has blood-red hair, sea-blue eyes and a white dress that exposes her shoulders, her left leg and some parts of her breasts, with a thin line that reaches her navel. She has an inverted pentagram tattoo on her back as well as mark of jashin on both her shoulders. A seductress possessing supernatural beauty whom very few can resist, and her purpose is solely tormenting all sentient beings, be it psychologically, physically or spiritually.

"I think not. It seems you have heard of the epic tales then." Tsubasa Emiya states, grinning. He quickly saw through Jahi's deception.

"Insolent human. How could you possibly reject me?" Jahi grunts, her overwhelming rage causing humans outside of this space-time continuum to tremble uncontrollably, but failing to pierce Tsubasa's heart.

"You ignorant scum. It seems you were created by a higher dimensional god, and since you can withstand all my attacks that means your only purpose is to stall me. Does the fact that you can't force me to fall on my knees offend you?" Tsubasa cracks his neck, glaring at the demoness.

"Enough of this fuckery!" Jahi charges at Tsubasa, gathering primordial chaotic energy and entering her demon queen transformation. She grows a black tail with it's end being triangle-shaped, her skin turns blood-red and is covered in scales, and her hair turns black, she becomes eleven feet nine inches tall and considerably more muscular, four orders of magnitude more powerful than before.

Tsubasa taps into great lion sage mode, his hair turns gold and reaches his hips, marks around his eyes which also take form of golden rinnegan, growing sharp nails and fangs. Already in his sage of six paths mode, Tsubasa summons spear of destiny and disappears from Jahi's sight.

Pouring apocalyptic forces into his divine bident, Tsubasa thrusts his spear while flying at infinite speed, tearing Jahi apart and before she can recover from injuries, Tsubasa creates a black hole that sucks Jahi's torn body parts, creates a white hole that holds energy level equal to the black hole and shoots it into the dark sphere, their collission leaves a massive explosion that envelopes the empty space on a six dimensional range.

However, just as Tsubasa expected, it's of little use against Jahi. Unfortunately for him, the demoness is immune to his personal domain's properties which would usually render his enemies powerless once they are transported into that dimension, and Tsubasa has sent countless sentient beings and living organisms there to protect them from his mighty adversary's wrath.

'If it was him when he was thirteen, this would've been a different story.' Jahi thinks, her arms transmutates to take form of two gigantic swords, charging toward Tsubasa whose spear pierces Jahi's neck, and not phased even after the demonic blade slices through his midsection. 'I can never dream of touching that invincible god!'

Tsubasa and Jahi fly back, not taking eyes off one another.

One thing that is certain, is that this battle has surely been entertaining for Tsubasa.

Isshiki's dimension, Code sits on a chair decorated with jewelry and metals one would not find on earth, watching over his army of claw grimes that he created using his imagination prowess and outstanding chakra control, hoping to come close to imitating Hagoromo Otsutsuki's feat. Code fused his energy with his soldiers, and made them strikingly tougher than normal juubi minions are supposed to be.

Code's might has not diminished nor has his life force grown dim. Through his meditation, Code has kept cultivating his chakra and attained supernatural strength beyond what Amado expected. Code is, in fact, capable of laying waste to his army all by himself.

The last kara inner smiles, shutting his eyes as he rests his temple on top of his fist.

The claw grims jump into one another's iron claw marks, teleporting to outside of konoha's borders one by one, thousands of beasts surrounding the hidden leaf village in a fraction of a second.

"Foolish gokage... unleash your dogs of war now." Code mutters. "Boruto... now it is your turn to play the hero."

.

.

.

"Jeez." Genma's whistles as he sees reflection of himself in mirror of fitting room. "Darling, i look so cool it's unreal."

"Come and be a show-off..." Shizune utters, and her jaw drops as Genma steps out of the fitting room. "Wow."

Black suit, golden shirt, dark purple tie and violet pocket-square. Genma has slicked his hair to left, strongly resembling someone familiar and dear to Shizune.

"Tsubasa-ish look of yours is just... perfect." Shizune giggles.

"Oh yeah, My boy is-" Genma's words are cut the instant he senses claw grimes' appearance. 'The luckiest man alive.'

Genma activates the transportation seal, teleports civilians and weaker shinobis along with some powerful shinobis to the safe dimenion in order to protect them from Code's claw grimes' invasion.

Genma even contacts other hidden villages and small nations, making sure no innocent lives are lost because of his irresponsibility.

All of that in matter of two planck time units.

"I didn't expect it to put such toll on my body." Genma says, falling as Shizune catches Genma who loses his consciousness due to using up almost all of his chakra.

"They will take care of this." Shizune sits on the ground and rests his head on her lap.

"The fastest shinobi alive..." Shizune murmurs, pats Genma on arms.

Shizune begins transfering chakra to Genma...

Her husband.

.

.

.

"You gotta be shitting me." Kiba says. Akamaru starts growling as he senses the danger is coming.

"Finally." Shino whispers. "Prepare yourselves for the worst possible scenario."

"You do know how to encourage us, Shino-san." Mirai smirks.

Shino summons immeasurable army of bugs that shield his team from enemy attacks.

"No more fun and games." Kiba utters, merges with Akamaru to become a twin-headed beast. "Let's fuck them up!" Kiba's voice rougher and raspy as he speaks in this beast form, jumps into air and spins violently at incredible speed, assaulting four claw grimes from unpredictable angles, tearing them to small pieces and then sticks to a wall.

"They are..." Mirai observes that the claw grimes' body parts are attracted to each other, seeking to reform their frame but Shino drains their life force and kills them before they can do that by obliterating them on molecular level using the bacteria his insects injected into claw grimes.

"Tricky to deal with." Shino states.

"Those were the weak ones in colony of Code's bitches..." Kiba utters.

.

.

.

"Sarada." Mitsuki says, pointing at the west, commanding Daemon to assist shinobis who will probably fall short fighting against claw grimes.

"I spotted them." Sarada responds, hearing Mitsuki's voice from the snake that is on her right shoulder inside her jacket.

"I shall come to assist you once i am done here." Mitsuki murmurs, summons a sword that reaches six feet seven inches in length.

"Be careful, Mitsuki." Sarada mutters.

"Mhm." Mitsuki lifts his leg and sends a claw grime into deep space, takes another one by throat before it can assault Ada from her back, slams it to the ground. Mitsuki releases his aura which paralyzes the nearby claw grimes for seconds, using his thumb to draw out his sword from it's sheath, letting Ada having a glimpse of the blade that glows in bloody red color, then claw grimes no longer are there.

'Did Mitsuki... do that with his sword?' Ada looks around and sees nothing remains of the incapacitated adversaries.

"I have to remind you that claw grimes only act based on instincts. They are devoid of soul and incapable of feeling emotions. Your love charm won't affect them." Mitsuki asserts.

"Where is the good news?" Ada asks, a sweat falling from the tiny space between her eyes.

"Not feeling like warming up?" Mitsuki responds with another in a sarcastic manner.

"Hahaha" Ada fakes a laughter, unamused by Mitsuki's antics.

"Lift yourself up from the ground." Mitsuki tells Ada.

"Alright." Trusting Mitsuki, Ada starts levitating and stops as she is five feet from surface of earth, blinks and sees dozens of dark blue objects are floating around her.

"Spiralling Phantom Blades." Ada says.

Twenty four blades made of dense chakra spinning around an individual, an S-class technique invented by Mitsuki himself during his training session with Tsubasa. Mitsuki's supernatural mental capacity allows him to control the blades from any distance and amplifying their speed, even if he has to shield numerous people.

A claw grime aims to assault Ada just to get sliced on sub-atomic level as the blades extend their reach with chakra.

A godlike technique imbued with Mitsuki's own yin energy. Ultimate offense and defense that protects one from physical and astral attacks, can even tear souls to shreds.

"Marvelous." Ada says.

Mitsuki taps into his first stage of dragon sage mode, the aura he projects piercing the sky, provoking black clouds in isolation.

Mitsuki's overwhelming presence can be felt throughout the universe, everyone who has heard of his legends realize that a storm is approaching.

"Come you pathetic bastards!" Mitsuki mutters, the earth trembles at his rage, volcanoes erupt and huge tsunamis form.

A mutated claw grime quickly spots Mitsuki and attacks him, landing a punch onto the young boy's face, the shockwave caused by that terrifying blow leaves a deep crater on the ground and almost destroys land of fire.

Mitsuki stands still, unfazed at the face of the titanic mindless monster.

If it was any other planet, they would've been obliterated along with the nearest galaxies but earth is a unique case as it is protected by a spell casted by Hagoromo. The collateral damage is exponentially reduced to prevent destruction of Hagoromo's world, which is why the heaviest hitters of shinobi world appear to be nowhere near as powerful as they are estimated to be.

Mitsuki enters the second stage of dragon sage mode, and creates a barrier around the store. A shadow clone of him reaches for Ada and wraps arms around her, Ada's guess is he is planning to wreak havoc.

"Trash." The words that come out of Mitsuki's mouth generate absurdly powerful force that disintegrate the mutated claw grime before it could even use rinnegan to absorb the ninjutsu. Sound Style: Evil Words is the name of this technique, another deadly ninjutsu in Mitsuki's possession.

"Too slow." Mitsuki mutters, draws his sword out of it's sheath, swings the scarlet blade to burn claw grime's chakra down to naught. "Too weak."

[cc-and-co]

Call me a Mary Sue (idc lol) but this what my curse technique(s) would be. And yes, I'm proud to say I'd be a Mary Sue (after character development lol) cus I'm having fun!!! And that's all that matters to me

My curse technique is deal-making and soul manipulation, inspired by Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. It allows me to:

1. Make Deals: I can make deals to acquire souls, which strengthens my power.

2. Soul Ownership: Once I own a soul:

I have full control over it.

I can manifest chains to bind or command the soul.

I can command it or even tear it apart if needed.

3. Connection to my Spouses:

My JJK spouses' souls are kept within my body, creating a deep and unbreakable bond while still allowing them to maintain independent physical forms.

This connection allows me to:

Share power with my spouses.

Telepathically communicate with them.

Summon their spiritual forms when needed.

Protect their souls from harm.

This bond enhances my abilities and fosters a unique dynamic of love, power, and teamwork between me and my spouses

Essentially I my body holds their souls like how in madoka magica with the souls in the soul gem but on a necklace. Only their souls are like, in me

Im interested on the topic of wether if psychology can beat people who are basically daematis. Let's just say considering how the people who are daematies have a bigger advantage when it comes to reading and perceiving people so let's give the people who are knowledgable in psychology a magical power where their mind cannot be entered. Basically protected. It heavily depends on the daemati, if the person who can read mind depends on their ability too much they'll get anxiety basocally overthinking like Rhysand in the "But home is nowhere" fanfiction. Also considering how daemati can be old like 300+ years old like that, they probably have experience.

It also depends on the people who know psychology, let's just say they have mastered it. The dark side and bright side of psychology too.

Who would win?

This is a very interesting take. If I'm understanding the question correctly, you are curious if an individual from a world similar to ours (as in no magic exists) that has an understanding/mastery of psychological theory (with or without a neurological understanding of the how the brain works) and/or implementation of various modalities for treatment (either from being in therapy or is a therapist), would withstand and prevent a highly skilled, experienced, and powerful Daemati from entering their mind.

This is going to be a multi layered answer as I think there are many aspects that differ between species and also from individual to individual.

My initial belief for humans from a world without magic or magical abilities, would be no. They could not initially know how to block out a Daemati from entering their mind. What they could do, especially if they have any experience with CBT, DBT, or EMDR modalities is be able to combat against any false memories or attempts to manipulate their understanding of the world around them. They are able to do this without having to be taught. They may even be able to fight against any attempts for the Daemati to physically control them. In these instances, a Daemati could still root around for information inside the individual's mind and even speak into their mind but would have a significantly more difficult time trying to manipulate them on a psychological and occasionally physical level.

These same humans would also have an advantage over other humans in being able to learn the ability of building a mental shield and eventually being able to keep a Daemati from entering their mind altogether.

For humans that come from a world where magic and telepathic ability exist, they would have an advantage over non-magic world humans. I even think that it would be part of their academic programs to build up mental shields so they could treat a wider range of patients.

When it comes to High Fae (either full blooded or a hybrid to any degree) or a Shifter Fae, it is more likely they already have built those mental shields. "Lesser" Fae may have struggles more in line with humans, depending on their species.

Overall, I do think that it is possible that an individual can gain the skills/ability to create mental shields that block Daemati, and that having an understanding of psychology would give an advantage to learning that skill.

For Reader in "But Home is Nowhere" this is not the case of why/how Rhysand, Feyre, and Ruhn (even though his ability is limited) are completely locked out of her mind. I have a different reason that is part of a much larger picture and plot point for the story I want to tell.

This was a very cool question! Keep sending them in as I love sharing ideas.

[starsfic]

So, characters! Starting with the villains...

Main Enemies

Shredder: The secrets of this demon have long been lost to the fog of times. It is known that he has been long-sealed inside an ancient suit of samurai armor that used to be sealed away in the basement of the Hamato Manor. When the Hamato clan came to a sudden and violent end, the armor was taken and scattered across the world. Before this end, Shredder predicted that the youngest child of the Hamato clan would father the line that would free him. Since said youngest child has been missing and presumed dead for over a decade, we probably have nothing to worry about!

Right?

Hamato Saki: Once the middle child of the Hamato clan, Saki has become the head of the Foot Clan with his daughter Karai. Cool and calculating, Saki is willing to manipulate whoever he needs in order to make sure the Dark Armor is reassembled.

Baron Draxum: The head of security for the Hidden City, Draxum takes pride in the fact that his clan is the oldest yokai clan in the city. As such, he is determined to protect both the city and yokai from the threat he sees in humanity, even if he has to go against the Great Council. While viewed as smart and a great warrior and alchemist by the yokai public, many of his former friends and acquaintances believe that grief has dulled his senses.

Takeshi/Tiger Claw: Once a criminal bounty hunter struggling to survive with his younger sister Alopex, the yokai tiger gained a job as head of security and personal hunter to Baron Draxum after impressing his partner. He delights in the hunt, using his knowledge of the Hidden City's alleys and back streets to create traps and bring down his prey. Although he never voices it, he views himself as smarter than his boss, at least streets-wise.

Alopex: The younger sister of Tiger Claw, Alopex became the leader of Baron Draxum's spies, gathering information that might become useful to the baron. While she lacks the bloodlust of her brother, Alopex shares his determination and knowledge of the streets. Secrets will be revealed with Alopex on the case, determined to find the truth.

Huginn and Muninn: Two gargoyles seeming to be always present on Draxum's shoulders, they serve as Draxum's assistants. To outsiders, they seem more like hypemen and jesters, although their joke cracking and dumb exterior hides sharp eyes and even sharper hearing. But they can be bribed with nests and sweets.

Hamato Karai, Jr: Saki's daughter and cousin to the turtles, Karai ultimately knows her destiny is to be a sacrifice to help the Shredder rise. Until then, she is determined to help her clan to the end. Despite her cool facade, she finds herself attached to her uncle Draxum fairly quickly when he agrees to help the clan.

Foot Brute and Foot Lieutenant: Who are they? How long have they been alive? Nobody knows. What is known is that they are loyal to Shredder and Saki, serving as the leaders of the Foot and using magic to bring more ninja to life if needed in their hunt for the armor. They also serve as Karai's main teachers and fatherly affection.

Big Mama: The biggest hotel owner in New York City, Big Mama is a spider yokai who spins webs, both literally and psychically. Her main desires are money, power, and entertainment, the latter two being provided through her Nexus Arena and using her telepathic abilities to ensnare prey. However, despite her ruthless nature, she's quite pleasant and willing to help those who come to her... for a fee.

Other Characters

Dr. Benjamin O'Neil: Ben is a paleobiologist who runs a lab studying fossilized organisms, but is known mainly for his marriage to famous actress Tang Shen. After her death, Ben has thrown himself into his work, despite knowing that it is unhealthy and ultimately neglectful to their daughter April. (Don't worry, he gets better.)

Yuichi Usagi: Once part of a noble yokai clan, the Usagi clan has fallen on hard times, leading to Yuichi joining the ranks of both the Nexus Arena fighters and Nexus Hotel workers. Despite being the favorite of Big Mama, Yuichi got his butt kicked and his heart stolen in his first fight.

Lou Jitsu/Hamato Kouki, Tang Shen, and Hamato Yoshi: A famed trio of two actors and one artist, the trio became famous quickly in the 1980s-2000s. Lou and Tang became known for their action movies, while Yoshi became known for his art, which was based on tales of yokai and his brother and best friend. The actor duo often attributed the success of their movies to the posters Yoshi created. The good times, however, couldn't last with the Hamatos suddenly disappearing in 2011. Tang Shen was left in charge of the Hamato estate before her own mysterious death in 2013, assumed to be suicide despite her toddler April's claims of murder.

Sunita: 16, slime yokai, slime powers- A delight.

The Ninja

Raph: about to turn 17, leatherback turtle, sais- Raph is the eldest and has taken up the responsibility of being the team leader. While he has a quick temper and a strength befitting his size, he manages it by fretting over his brothers, his papa, his partner Casey... He worries too much, to the point of worrying his papa. Still, he has a heart of gold and is the second closest with their papa.

Donnie: 16, box turtle, bo staff- The smartest of the four, Donnie has worked tirelessly to build his knowledge and inventions, and turn himself into a bit of a Renaissance man. The effect has made him passive-aggressive, a bit aloof, but willing to share his excitement with those interested, like his best friend/crush April. He is also much more willing to spill blood in defense of his friends and family.

Leo: 16, hawksbill, double swords- To make up for a lack of self-worth, Leo stylized himself after the turtles' favorite action star, creating a dramatic, confident, and jokester personality that both amuses and annoys his family. He manages the supplies when the group is out and about on the surface and can think on the fly, creating strategies that win the fight.

Mikey: about to turn 14, mud turtle, kusari-fundō- As the baby of the family, Mikey is compassionate, affectionate, very in touch with his emotions, and easily annoyed at being treated like a baby. He is the second closest with their papa, usually cooking or painting together, and is the only turtle entrusted with taking care of Splinter's pet rats when their papa isn't around.

April: 16, African-American/Japanese, fans- Clever, smart, and has a sixth sense dubbed her "Spidey-sense", April first met Donnie, quickly melding with the turtles with her adventurous spirit and the desire to learn the truth. Despite her seeming confidence, she gets nervous around discussions about her famed parents and her first crush feelings for Donnie

Irma: 16, white, spare bo staff- April's best friend, Irma is supportive but cautious when April first comes to her with her crush. Her caution, however, can easily be overcome with the promise of being able to inflict violence on her enemies. She often teams up with Leo to make plans and is smart enough to record everything people say, just in case.

Casey: 17, white/Japanese, hockey sticks- The turtles' first friend since childhood and Raph's partner, Casey is cocky and can easily overestimate their abilities. However, that doesn't block the fact that they are protective and dedicated, has a strong sense of justice, and willing to bare their teeth when Raph cannot or refuses.

Hamato Yoshi Splinter: The father and sensei of the turtles, Splinter loves all of his sons dearly and tries his best to show it, even if the turtles can't remember his face. He has a fondness for rats, having several as pets.

Dawn of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

My TMNT incarnation that's basically a bundle of stuff I liked and stuff I think could've been done better in 2012 and ROTTMNT, as well as a bunch of my own ideas and inspiration from some cool stuff I've seen floating around the fandom. So far, I have three arcs planned, although not planned out fully yet:

Season 1: Contain the oozequitos and learn about parents- The same night April and her bestie Irma meets all four turtles, they release a horde of mutagen-carrying insects in New York City. As they attempt to contain the outbreak and go head-to-head against Baron Draxum, learning more about the world of magic and yokai, questions raise about who created the turtles and what role April's long-dead mother played.

Season 2: Race for the Dark Armor- Hamato family drama rises up when the Foot Clan recruits Baron Draxum and his forces to help resurrect the demon known as Shredder. The turtles face off against new enemies, including their cousin Karai, in the race to collect the armor pieces.

Season 3: Battle against Shredder- Turtles battle Shredder, learn family secrets, and rebuild relationships.

Main Characters will be reblogged to this post when I am done writing them out.

[killmongerskeeper]

Crashing Waves // Chapter 1 // Namor

Pairing: Namor X POC Reader

Warning: SPOILERS If you haven't seen Black Panther 2 / Violence

A/N: Time to roll out the Namor fics! Because that man had me in a chokehold!

Chapter 2

You were fuming. Stuck on this stupid military site in the middle of the fucking ocean with two people pole who have no idea what they're getting themselves into. Taking a student's science fair project is one thing, but actually stumbling across vibranium in the middle of the ocean. Yeah that's not good. You have to keep it out of the wrong hands. You promised Shuri. Even if you had to use your powers to do so. 

T'Challa calls it being gifted. You call it being cursed. Being able to manipulate things telepathically. Force fields, mind control and shit. Nothing too extreme like Wanda Maximoff. More of a simplified version. Only difference is you can see through other people's eyes. 

Shuri always wanted to see you do it in person. Wakanda has done so much for you. Saved your life when Killmonger took over, treated your stab wound from battle, and offered their home to you. I made new friends and found a family. You owe them your life. Queen Ramonda, Shuri, T'Challa. The least you could do was help protect what was theirs

"We should leave it alone! You and everyone else heard what the queen of Wakanda said. We can't just go around stealing their resources!" You shouted as the general stood with his arms crossed. 

"Vibranium could be what this nation needs to prevent war. And it's right here at the bottom of the ocean." The other agent spoke and you snapped your head in her direction.

"Taking the vibranium will start a war! Are you guys that dense?" You shouted and then she stood holding her hands out to calm you down.

"Professor. Y/N. Please we are too close to pull back now. The vibranium is right there." She tried to reason with you but you knew the consequences behind this. Especially after hearing the queen's threat. You knew better than to take it lightly. 

"And what if the Wakandans show up. If they decide to take more of a lethal approach? That is a war you won't win." You told her as the general walked closer to the two of you.

"Professor, we brought you out here to help us find and secure the vibranium given your abilities. What we didnt bring you here for was to give us a pep talk. Now if you won't help us, you can go back to that classroom at that university."

It's true they came to you because of your experience with Wakanda and the folklore you grew up on. With you knowing the history of Wakanda and vibranium, you were a perfect pick. You didn't however expect them to actually find it. 

"My pep talk just might save your ass, general. I'm not talking for my health. You wanted me here because I've been there, I know them. Now I'm trying to help you BECAUSE I've been there. This will not end well for you." You sneered in defiance and he scoffed. 

"Fine. We won't need you up here. Take her to her room, and keep her there." You raised an eyebrow as a soldier grabbed your arm, dragging you out the room. 

"Ross will hear about this!" 

After a couple minutes descending the stairs you were now locked in your room with the soldier standing guard at the door. 

"Fucking asshole!" You shouted as you slid your back down the wall to sit on the floor while you held up your hand. The green hue danced around your brown fingers as you stared into the small void it created. You smiled at the memory you had stored away from when you revealed this to Shuri and T'Challa for the first time. How they asked you to stay in Wakanda with them. As much as you wanted to stay, you had to decline because you couldn't leave your younger brother behind. But now your brother is in college and T'Challa is gone. You should've been there. With them. To console them as they did you when your mother died.

"They're making a mistake! War with Wakanda isn't a good thing!" You shouted at the guard and he waved you off. They could be coming for me, you know? I could've contacted them about the vibranium you guys found down there!" You lied through your teeth and grinned when that caught his attention. He turned to you with a horrified stare and you shrugged. 

"They are my friends, you know." You started as you stood on your feet walking towards the door. He went to speak before a couple of gunshots rang out and we both froze. 

"Did you really contact the Wakandans?" He asked with fear laced in his voice. 

"Um no. I was bullshitting you actually. Are we under attack?" You questioned and he readied his weapon before taking a deep breath. 

"Stay here." He said and you shrugged. 

"Not like I have a choice. Wait, don't leave me down here!" You screamed after him as he went to investigate what was going on. You quickly locked the door and shot out a small green sphere into his back as he disappeared up the stairs where you couldn't see him anymore. Closing your eyes your vision was replaced with the soldier's as he slowly approached the top. The general was now a dead man as he hung from the wall by a spear. He looked up into the sky in time to see the chopper get thrown into the ocean.

The soldier's breathing became irregular as he began to panic so you decided to speak to him. "Relax, just hurry up and radio for help." He jumped a bit, startled by the voice in his head and he sighed. 

"I forgot you could do that." He mumbled as he went for the general's radio. "Mayday. We're under attack at the vibranium site. Send a strike team now."

"Copy that. Do you recognize the assailants?" Another voice asked and he looked around. "Wakandans."

"No. These aren't Wakandans." You said and the soldier frowned. 

"Then who-" Without warning your vision came back to you causing you to fall over. The soldier is dead. You sat up to catch your breath as you stared at the door.

"Who the fuck-" you started before the sound of the steps reached your ears. You quickly stood with your arm stretched out aiming at the door ready for whoever it may be. The knob turned once before complete silence engulfed the room. You held my stance as some curls fell in your face. Whatever it is, you're ready for it.

Hi, I am new to tumblr. If this isn't to much for you, can you do hedcanons on how would Jason Todd and Damian Wayne separately react to their s/o being a witch like Wanda/Scarlet witch from marvel, please. If this is to much for you ignore this.

Absolutely honey! ♥️

Damian

He had known people who had magic like powers and witchcraft but when he met you he had never seen anyone with powers like yours

He was always in awe of getting to see you use them whether for training or actual fighting purposes he was always asking you after about them

He liked hearing you chant spells so naturally of the tongue mostly for healing and protection purposes always smiling when the red glow appears in your hands and eyes

He would always be careful asking you to show your powers around him knowing that you were afraid of losing control and hurting anyone but him especially always specifying what he wants to see you do

He alwyas liked when you would telepathically talk to him in his head always saying how much you loved and cared about him making him blush red

He knew that you could give people nightmares but he didn't know that you could change people's dreams making him love you more when he found out that every time he would have a nightmare when you stayed the night with him you would use your powers to change his dreams making him dream of you or more pleasant dreams of his family

Jason

He had never met anyone with magic powers of any type except a rare occasional appearance from Giovanni Zatara or Doctor Fate but when he met you he was so intrigued and in awe of your powers

He would always ask you to show one ability every time he saw you always wanting to see you do spells,change people's dreams,telepathically talk to others,and to manipulate energy

He always lets you change his dreams whenever he has nightmares and cannot sleep always grateful when he had dreams of you or just dreams that kept him asleep that didn't involve death,blood,or the joker

He liked hearing and watching you chant spells for practice no matter what kind it was and whenever he got to see you use spells in fights he always made sure that he was able to watch it even if he had to hold some people by the collar before punching them

Whenever you have pain from your magic he will do whatever you need to relax and not be in any type of pain from massaging you while in a hot epsom salt bath,hold you while you fall asleep after late missions,or watch tv with you until you fall asleep in his arms

He always finds you and you just hold him when you know he's exhausted and having a very rough and tiring day just laying in your lap and arms until he is calmly asleep
