A Rex Post

this is the guy you’ve known for years. you can count on him to pull your ass out of the fire, even if it’s a fire you started yourself. he’s reliable like that. strong enough to take the heat. strong enough to be dangerous, too, and you’d be lying if you said you weren’t afraid of him sometimes. it’s something about the way he looks at you. there’s this hunger, this destructive yearning in him. for some people, love is the marks they leave behind.

rex is the second member of the we pariahs group and the closest thing they have to a leader. friends and associates would describe him as volatile, possessing both a gruff, forceful personality and a propensity for violence. underneath his hard exterior, he has a soft spot for you and romantic feelings bordering on obsession. unfortunately, he doesn’t know how to engage with these feelings in a way that doesn’t leave you bruised and bleeding. here are some things you’ve learned about rex:

he bounces between jobs, mostly gas stations and night stocking. before that, he was the enforcer for a local gang. quitting wasn’t easy, but he did it for you.

he’s the youngest of three brothers. family relations are strained, to put it mildly.

he has a fetish for extreme physical violence to the point that he has difficulty getting aroused without it.

if jay, rex, and levine all got in a fight, there are a number of factors that could determine who comes out on top. in a contest of strength, rex wins easily.

he’s a talented street artist.

sore loser was the first piece i wrote for the pariahs, before i realized i wanted to do more with the characters. since then, they’ve all changed quite a bit, but i still like to think of it as an important part of the timeline.

the event that splits up the group in the first place is you leaving your hometown for personal reasons. rex took it the hardest and was at his absolute worst in the days leading up to your departure.

he works in construction. while he still has a very short temper, he now manages his anger well enough to hold a steady job.

he acts casual, but losing you ruined him. he hasn’t had a steady partner since you left. after being reunited, he’s so desperate to hold onto you that he defers to levine when it comes to making group decisions.

all of the character concepts in the inhuman au are a little unorthodox, either being a blend of concepts or a deviation from an existing concept. rex’s is by far the most complicated and specific:

rex’s concept, in a roundabout way, was inspired by lucan’s pharsalia, an epic poem from ancient rome. in one scene, there’s a witch named erichtho who performs necromancy. erichtho is an unusual character because of how incredibly extra she is. she lives in a graveyard, does all kinds of depraved shit to corpses, and apparently has some sway over the gods themselves.

this is the kind of witch that is rex’s mother in the inhuman au. his father is something unspeakable.

he wasn’t raised by either of his biological parents, but was instead left in the care of a human couple who did their best to take care of him. he learned a lot about humans from his adoptive parents, and is especially skilled at maintaining human form because of them.

you met rex when you were both young children. you were the only person who didn’t have, or actively ignored, an instinctive impulse to avoid him at all costs.

and finally, rex’s playlist. his is called “oderint dum metuant.” it’s probably about as aggressive as you’d expect.

I just thought of this!

What if Danny doesn’t want to be ghost king. Like he has enough on his plate and doesn’t have time for it and most of his subjects hate him. Like between the league, school , friends, eating, sleeping, and hiding his secret he just doesn’t have time so he asks clockwork if there’s a way around becoming king and having to deal with the observants and walker regularly. The stress is killing his human half quit literally and the league is noticing and he ends up having a few close calls with his secret. And clockwork tells him he either needs to be challenged for the crown the way he did for pariah dark or he could pass it to his first born in the form of Dani the only challenge would tracking her down bc the observants wouldn’t be please with him interfering (but he’s lying they want Danny off the thrown more than Danny. Clockwork just wants Danny to think about what he’s about to ask of Dani) and he tells Danny to think about what to say to Dani when he finds her. by the time Danny finds Dani she asks what’s up? And he tells her he wanted to know if she would want to take the throne of the ghost zone in his place but would completely understand if she didn’t want to. She she says yes just straight up and Danny’s all confused as to why she would make such an important choice so impulsively. But really when he left Clockwork’s lair a month and a half ago Clockwork came to Dani to tell her what was up with Danny and how having the crown on top of everything was killing him and had given her some books to study from to get used to how a government worked(bc she’s never been to school and vlad wouldn’t have taught her)Danny is super happy he doesn’t have that responsibility on his shoulders any more and he watches Dani be and an amazing queen but sometimes he wonders if she would have said yes if she wasn’t told how much pressure he was under and how much he hated the job and he wonders how much of what she tells him is the truth about the job because sometime he can just tell she’s lying to his face to make him happy and that she’s hurtingAnd sometimes the league see Danny talking to some regal looking ghosts delivering a messages to him and he looks kinda sad when he tells them it’s the queen of ghosts and they look all shocked that he knew royalty and asked how he knew her and just tells them “she saved me from something very simple and incredibly complex but I guess I did stop her father from murdering her in their basement twice so that also helped.” The league ends up wanting to meet the queen because of the way he describes her as incredibly strong and incredibly loyal wondering if she could be an ally. And when they see a little girl in a sweater vest and tie Danny starts laughing his bit off at the outfit while the league wonders what a kids is doing here and phantom just gasps out “that’s the queen but she doesn’t normally look like a nerd!” “Thanks for such a wonderful introduction” the league is taken back this little girl with black hair and blue eyes was the queen of ghosts. Catching his breath Danny asks “ why are you dressed like that” “Dora told me the whole glowing eyes thing and flaming armor and crown can be a little intimidating so I went with a more human look” “You went with a nerd look” “Did not!” “Did too” Super man breaks it up by clearing his throat. They talk about Dani helping with supernatural problems and possibly becoming ally’s with Atlantis. When the business is over they talk about how the government of the ghost zone works and how power is passed from one person to another and ask her how she got the crown. They’re all surprised when she says her father didn’t want to rule so he just gave me the crown no biggie and they’re all like huge biggie who the hell puts that kind of responsibility on a twelve year old and while they’re all flipping out they seem to forget dani is right there and she just makes eye contact with an increasingly uncomfortable Danny she decides to break it up by telling them her family matters aren’t their concern. Besides would they really want Danny phantom to be the ghost king instead and they all get confused as to why Danny would be the ghost king and she just glares at Danny like no filter like after sitting through walkers rants about how he liked being the executioner and the observants all complaining about the time stream yet never doing anything never mind having to tell the fright knight to chill almost every five minutes she is done with any bs from a any one and just asks “do they or do they not know how we are related?” “They do not” Dani sighs Danny’s been noticing she does that lately it makes him feel guiltier “I’m a failed clone of Danny but by the laws of the ghost zone considered his child but being here and there was putting too much stress on him so he had to choose either leave the league or leave the crown” They all look at Danny for a second wondering just how many more secrets the boy had up his sleeve as he awkwardly added “kinda lead a revolt against the last king anyway.”
