#whenever i try to act mysterious tbh i always end up sounding like a 12 year old

[tecchous-thicc-buttocks]

Hey can I ask if you’re an adult or not? Cuz I want to interact with you but I’m also not particularly comfortable interacting with minors either :/ Completely understandable if you don’t want to say either!

i am the unfiltered silent but deadly fart that lives in between two majestic cheeks of the ass of a fictional man. Age does not know me, it fears me. Only thing minor about me is my ability to stop myself from loving fictional little people whom only a strange individual with a funky pen name can draw and control. interact with these butt cheeks only if you are prepared for repercussions (threat)

snickers feverishly at myself for bringing in a 5th... who do i think i am? unstoppable? invincible? suddenly ripples my titanium plated pecs. maybe so. u can find her pinterest here n her playlist here. 

* margaret qualley, cis female + she/her  | you know bradley milligan, right? they’re twenty-four, and they’ve lived in irving for, like, all of their life? well, their spotify wrapped says they listened to looking for knives by dyan like, a million times this year, which makes sense ‘cause they’ve got that whole snow angels trampled through by your father’s footprints, casually reading a newspaper that’s catching flame & stubbing a cigarette against the wing mirror of a parked cop car thing going on. i just checked and their birthday is november 11th, so they’re a scorpio, which is unsurprising, all things considered. ( nai, 24, gmt she/her  )

HISTORY:

bradley has this memory of meeting her grandmother for the first time n everything in the room was frozen still. even the air. she didn’t feel like she cld move n she got the impression this is how it’d always been in the milligan lineage. the only thing that was allowed to act of it’s own accord was her grandmother’s eyes as she tracked every slightest flinch of muscle. when her father left the room her grandmother reached out and took bradley’s hand n bradley looked at this like it was smthn she’d never seen before until her grandmother leaned close and all she could stare at was a nicotine stain on one of her front teeth. “he’s cold, isn’t he? he’s always been cold. i don’t think he’s mine.” bradley could tell from how tight she held her hand that he was. she could tell by the way she smiled as she said it, too. the way she felt obliged to smile back.

growing up in a huge white house in aquila drive w pruned hedges sounds idyllic n looks it too. swanky cars w tinted windows in the long driveway. always men filing in and out under the cloak of night wearing expensive suits n smiles worthy of a politician’s billboard. bradley’s mum alyssa thought so too n that’s hw she got into this whole mess tbh. tony milligan is very good at advertising. he cld package a jarred human heart as strawberry jam and convince u to spread it on ur toast if he wanted to. he could make u smile politely as u ate ur own. 

alyssa ws this very pretty blonde kind of mysterious presence in a room. everyone wanted to kno her story or fk her but noone rly treated her like a person more just like a puzzle to solve. john green syndrome alert..... literally manic pixie dream girled bt on turbo charge. there were vague whispers she’d run away from home when she appeared in town out of nowhere bt nothing concrete. tony decided he wanted to crack the case n once he set his mind to something there was no changing it. they wound up embroiled in a whirlwind romance. head over heels. he came at romance hard and fast as a freight train. alyssa knew he was into shady things but not quite the full extent of it n honestly she didn’t care bc she wanted security n a family to call her own n tony promised that. they were married within a year. 

tony came frm money bt he wanted to carve his own path n make his own legacy. destined fr greatness he’d tell her. we’re destined for greatness. it sounds nice doesn’t it! alyssa thought so too.

(drugs mention tw) slowly over the yrs he essentially forged his own crime organisation tht only grew. he opened a strip club down the seedier side of irving called ‘no angels’ n this became the front thru which his gang ran drugs in the back (predominantly coke n they pride themselves fr having a Superior Blend apparently) as well as laundering cash n this also was kind of their home base to hang

(abuse tw) their marriage increasingly lost it’s shine n alyssa came to realise she’d been sold a lie n she didn’t rly know this person or what he was capable of right around the time bradley was born. by then it was kind of like Wow i am rly in this n there is not an exit door huh. i won’t go into details bt things were not good at all. bradley witnessed n experienced a lot of things she shouldn’t have growing up. she didn’t understand why other kids drew home in all these different coloured crayons like they were bright places to be. she didn’t understand why everyone got so excited when the bell rang at the end of the day bc she just felt sick. she rationalised tht this was normal when she was younger bc sometimes kids talked abt the monsters under their beds giving them nightmares n she thought mayb they were talking abt their dads too. as she got older she realised tht actually her world wasn’t the same as anyone else’s n she also realised no-one wld ever be able to tell her why. she started becoming friends with the angry feeling in her chest tht she used to try and swallow around this time. often she’d wander the mall for a while to put off going home. smoke on random park benches. watch trains rattle thru town from the vantage point of a random rooftop. 

(abuse, missing person implied, murder implied & grief tw) when bradley was 12 she woke up and all of her mum’s clothes were gone frm their drawers. no shoes anywhere. a framed photo of them at the beach holding bradley as a baby vanished from over the mantelpiece. when bradley asked her dad what was going on, tony essentially said “it was exhausting her. being here. being your mother. she didn’t want to do it any more, so now she’s gone” n then he hugged her. little details leaked into the mix over the yrs. at one point tony dismissed her as having flown overseas to a foreign country to drink in the sun like she’d always wanted even tho alyssa always told bradley she liked the snow best (once she even walked outside as it fell in a thin lace nightgown when tony was out n when bradley said “mom you’re gonna get cold” she only tugged her down and made her do snow angels until her lips looked blue). the most significant memory bradley can never shake from her head is her mother cupping a yellow tulip at the park n saying she hated them. when bradley asked why she only turned and smiled at her as she stroked the hair from her face n then said “because they look so happy”. after bradley’s mum vanished a long flower bed at the bottom of the garden was suddenly overrun with dozens of freshly planted yellow tulips. whenever bradley looked at them out of her window she got this sickly feeling in the pit of her stomach like she was visiting a cemetery. she suspected what had happened to her mum (especially as rumours circulated within tony’s organisation abt alyssa being unfaithful with someone tht used to work fr him) bt she cld never bring herself to truly accept it. thus she ws stuck in this strange purgatory state of not-quite-anger at her mum for “leaving” and not-quite-grief.

bradley rly started to transgress in school after her mum was gone. alyssa was always kind of a character when she’d pick bradley up (wasn’t doing well n acted kind of ‘eccentric’ i suppose u cld say) so tony managed to spin it all as a child acting out in the wake of an unfit mother uprooting n abandoning. bradley became........ interesting. JKHGFSSKJGHFSGHSKFGHFG. she’d snap n resort to violence very easily. very desensitised to it. students were kind of scared of her tbh. as this progressed into proper high school she got in w the more rowdy popular crowd solely bc she was so fking.... wild for lack of a better word. rly would just do anything fr the thrill. had no sense of ‘i shouldn’t do this bc it’s dangerous’. partied harder than anyone. bit back harder than anyone. no filter. hung w a lot of guys honestly bc they had less morals n either found her scariness cool or wanted to fk <3

(hospitalisation, depression & drugs tw) she’s had. a few stints in psychiatric institutions fr various reasons tbh. missed a small chunk of her senior yr fr this but it wasn’t widely known just kind of rumoured. she showcases a lot of similar symptoms to her mum who struggled w severe depression (which was difficult to cope w when ur husband was often pouring ur prescription down the drain fr kicks) n in order to compensate fr the lows she takes a lot of things to kick them into highs. drinks n snorts too much. bradley i love u bt i’m begging u to seek healthier coping mechanisms......

as the yrs went on (especially once alyssa had gone) tony rly started trying to integrate bradley into the business side of things...... she literally. is named bradley bc he was expecting a boy n he was like well let’s still call her bradley. n had in mind she’d still fulfil the role he wanted her to of being his little protege so to speak.... both sexist n ugly all in one fell swoop...... an example of this is he literally. bought her a mint green switchblade for her 14th birthday n named it tinkerbell bc it would “die without attention” aka using it. tht sounds like a healthy gift to give a child tony congratulations sis <3

in an ideal world bradley wld have gone to uni to study psychology bc she jst wants to know how the fk her dad is literally like that bt she probably stuck around n is now managing no angels along with billy n marco (billy’s in her dad’s gang n is, u guessed it, a cunt, n marco is his sort of right hand man so to speak) bc tony’s in the closest neighbouring city overseeing a second ‘no angels’ opening up there to expand into a franchise n widen their income margins. bradley wld also be sort of used as a honey trap type deal once she got older if they needed to lure ppl places n sometimes still is bt it depends. the guys in the club all know not to mess w bradley bc she’s tony’s daughter n literally kind of scary herself sometimes bt there’s also this certain allure tht comes with being the boss’ daughter n it kind of comes across in how they act or talk abt her. yes i will kill them all n no i won’t feel bad abt it <3

think that’s kind of all u need to kno history wise... blinks one eye out of sync w the other..... runs to personality

PERSONALITY:

a phrase i wld always use to describe bradley in old intros is “like a cup of black coffee with one grain of sugar that u don’t taste until the last sip”. also dark chocolate. lime. liquorice. she’s an acquired taste n i feel like u either love her or u hate her. 

cannot express how unpredictably chaotic she is..... frequently throws a drink in a stranger’s face jst to start something bc she’s bored. loves to hurl cheese slices across the room so they slap onto someone’s face out of nowhere. likes smashing things. stubbing cigarettes out on faces in framed family photographs. will literally pick a lock n then smash the window besides it to defeat the whole purpose just bc she found how neat it was boring. does anything fr the adrenaline n thrill. gets into far too many fights n fights dirty. probably been thrown out of every bar in town at least three times. banned from a bunch too.

she’s witty bt she has a dark sense of humour..... can be quite mean.......... loves to roast ppl for no reason........ honestly has some nathan young frm misfits aspects in that sense like jst seems untouchable emotionally n like she doesn’t take anything seriously n is fking outrageous about it.....

has this quality abt her tht kind of scares herself sometimes. it’s like she recognises parts of her dad in her. she’s very perceptive (bc she’s had to be over the yrs trying to read every micro-expression of her dad’s to predict what’s next) n like emotionally intelligent in a way which is ironic bc her own emotions r just an absolute minefield.... bt. she can read people quite well. gets this eerily calm look abt her sometimes n it’s jst like god what’s. she thinking. what’s she’s gna do. i’m shaking. a cool n controlled kind of rage can often be scarier than the explosive type n bradley does that well. grits my teeth n tugs on my collar....

very strong on the surface. hates being vulnerable. has this ingrained idea that crying is childish or rly any kind of emotional display within herself. 50% not taking things seriously 50% angry. tht’s how she comes across....... internally? whole different story. bt ppl don’t see that.

very cavalier abt some things. will flash her tits n not even think abt it. jst very out there...... one of her closest friends is a homeless man named joe who wears neon purple fishnets on his head n loves to spit on ppl from over an underpass. finds eccentric ppl like this funny n surrounds herself w them. loves to be kept on her toes.

LOVES driving stolen cars down the wrong side of the highway. it’s a lot.

fiercely loyal to a fault to a select few bt if u wrong her personally this can switch pretty quick. quite a force to b reckoned w n will hold a grudge. bt like. if ur a Chosen One she’d bury a body for u no questions asked. 

WANTED CONNECTIONS

deals to u: bradley isn’t like full time into dealing bt she does do it sometimes.... treats it kind of like a hobby bc the lesser ranked can do tht shit as far as she’s concerned bt.. sometimes also jst gets bored n is like. why not. might be chaotic. mayb they’ll try to rob me <3 we love the thrill <3 or like..... if ur friends w her she’ll deal to u n no she will not do a friends discount <3 or if she does there will definitely be some sort of stipulation attached <3

high skl crew: if ur muse is local n ws an absolutely demonic hell spawn in high skl tht went to 1974547254 parties n was outrageously chaotic n rude then. bradley probably was friends w them <3 her friendships tend to be surface level bt they’d definitely go out a bunch bt whether they actually knew a lot abt her life is debatable bt we could explore options fr this

people who work at no angels: no angels is her dad’s strip club in irving that she kind of helps to run now. it’s kind of a shifty environment. the place where ud have an outrageous bachelor party. u go for the first time w a fake id n u get served bt u also get ur wallet stolen n ur convinced someone spat in ur drink n u also kind of think there might b a hit on u now after u made eye contact too long w a broad shouldered man smoking in a back booth. scary environment. testament to her dad as a person. maybe ur muse is a dancer there or works the bar or security or whatever u name it....

ma’am are u ok?: ur muse found bradley passed out across two bus seats one time in smudged dark eyeliner a silver slip dress n the world’s chunkiest combat boots this town hs ever seen. sometimes she winds up in spots like this when she goes too hard n it’s absolutely dangerous n reckless bt that’s jst bradley <3 mayb they forged an unlikely friendship frm this strange meeting or maybe even? dare i say it? a romance? opposite worlds colliding? good influence? let’s go crazy. release ur inhibitions. feel the rain on ur skin.

hook-ups: bradley’s cavalier abt this stuff..... very unemotional typically..... mayb we cld do an unrequited thing that wld be angsty n fun altho i won’t lie i don’t kno if she’d be the one to catch the feelings.... she rarely sleeps over bt once when she woke up in someone’s bed she hiked over to straddle them carefully as possible so they wldn’t wake up n then pressed her knife to their neck as a fun little surprise where she said boo when they opened their eyes.... she’s a lot clearly.

watermelon slugger, hiiii: bradley has this habit where she gets a bunch of watermelons n then goes to a rooftop n throws them over the edge to watch them explode when they hit the pavement.... maybe ur muse almost got hit by one once n were like WTF???????? another quirky meet cute moment like the bus one <3 can’t stop w them <3 maybe she randomly invited ur muse to do it w her when they were like. a stranger of f the street. she was bored. decided to adopt them as a science experiment. we cn elaborate on this probably....

ouch charlie: similar territory bt she also sometimes shoots pedestrians w a bb gun from rooftops. mayb ur muse wld always get hit by one on a certain route they walked n finally one day they saw her head ducking down behind a ledge n then they see her in the street one day n are like HEY IT’S YOU............. WTF? n bradley’s like ya i’m christ risen again it’s a lot to take in i know...

rly jst anything... mutually destructive friends... exes.... in one rp a character tried to get close to bradley so he cld write an expose all book about her n her family which i found so fking funny so i’ll request that again.... people she’s fought.... ppl whose gf/bf she’s fk’d n it’s caused enemy status.... someone whose place she broke into and shaved their eyebrows off in the night only to draw them on again in crudely thin permanent sharpie lines.... roommates cld be fun n sexy i’d love that actually.... jst anything rly. go wild. kisses everyone tenderly on cheeks.

[extoris-1]

do them all for j

   || meme

oh my god loren this is going under a readmore bc no one wants to read this much about my ocs

1. their voice

he doesn’t actually have much of a voice. his mouth is more than a little fucked up because of the snake genetics, which gave him fangs, venom sacs, a Jacobson’s organ, and, shittiest of all, an actual snake-like tongue. without a human tongue, it’s very difficult for him to make the sounds needed for human speech, and the scientists at the School never actually bothered to attempt to teach him any way around it. he can make a variety of hisses, grunts, and other guttural noises using his throat (he does still have vocal chords), but those are more for expressing irritation or other emotions rather than actually communicating. when he needs/wants to communicate, he knows American Sign Language, and often uses it to converse with his little sister Clover.

2. their smile

a cryptid. he hardly ever smiles. he’s not a very happy person (and, really, who would be with the life he’s had), so he really only smiles when he’s annoying Six too much.

the only person who’s actually made him really smile is clover. it was a small smile, close-lipped and faint, but a smile nevertheless. 

3. their greatest achievement

it’s likely a tie between actually being able to escape the School and the one time he managed to get his arms around an Eraser and crush their rib cage. he’s still rather proud of that moment.

4. their insecurities

for being an experiment, it’s an odd insecurity, but he feels odd about being the only mutant in the flock without wings. he hates being the one that essentially grounds them much of the time, since without him they could fly for longer and whenever they needed without having to make sure that he’s properly bundled and secured to Six.

5. their shortcomings

scientifically? he needs to be kept at a warmer ambient temperature than normal humans, he can’t speak and has trouble swallowing and breathing due to his tongue, he can’t fly (which, when you’re with a group of people who can, is a bit of a downside), he can’t blend in with normal humans (he’s covered with patches of scales, his hair naturally has strange patterning, and, oh yeah, he’s literally got snake eyes [-insert bad gambling joke here-]).

personality wise, he’s… not very sociable. a life of being mistreated and abused has led him to be untrusting and very angry, so it takes a while to actually earn his trust and for him to stop being so cold to you. clover, of course, has his undying love, trust, and loyalty, whereas sova is just barely starting to gain anything.

six, however, is gonna take a long ass time. i’m not sure if he’ll ever actually trust six.

6. how they deal with grief

numbness. he functions, yes, but it’s like a ghost. he doesn’t sign, doesn’t interact with anyone. he essentially just shuts down and tries to process the fact that it happened. god forbid if clover ever died. i think j might just die along with her, just not in body.

(if you can’t tell, he’s got some dependency issues.)

7. how they like to dress

he likes to cover up as much as he can. they’re trying to be covert, after all, and showing off his plates and scales isn’t exactly subtle. that, and his need for a generally warmer temperature leads him to don a lot of layers, usually an undershirt, a long sleeved thermal, and a hoodie, with jeans and boots.

however, if he was in a warmer climate and didn’t need to hide, he likely wouldn’t wear much. clothing can make his skin and scales itch (especially when he needs to shed, dear god), so if he was somewhere where he didn’t have to worry about that (say, a deserted tropical island or somewhere in the middle of the desert), the most he would wear would be some shorts and a loose tank top, and maybe not even the tank top. he’s not very self conscious, really, and he likes the feeling of the sun on his skin.

8. what they like to eat

j’s eating habits are definitely more than a little strange. technically, he has the same caloric needs as any other super-mutant (a minimum of 3,000 calories per day), but his digestive system makes eating a little more difficult. due to his serpentine dna, he’s really supposed to only eat once every three days, but he’s gotta eat a lot. on par with six. he can eat every day, but it’s a bit better for him if he doesn’t.

that being said, he favors salty/savory snacks. chips, popcorn, beef jerky, stuff like that. he can’t really taste stuff, since he doesn’t have a human tongue, so flavor of stuff doesn’t matter to him.

11. their family life

though not biological in any way, shape, or form, he has one sister, Clover, whose crate at the School was almost always right next to his. they essentially grew up together, and are the oldest mutants that School has ever produced, both being an elderly nineteen.

12. their romantic life

nonexistent lmao he’s got no time and no patience for any of that shit right now

13. their embarrassing memory from years ago

there was one time at the School where he was attempting to get out of his crate but all he managed to do was tip it over onto the door.

it was a few hours before they found him. 

14. how they react to burning their tongue on food

lots of hissing and rage. that shit hurts, man, and his mouth is really sensitive. he’d be a lot more pissed off than he usually is after that.

15. how they react to a brainfreeze

similar to burning his tongue, but it’s more of a quiet rage and he’s holding his head. it’s probably a little bit different than normal brain freezes, since he’s actually got something other than blood vessels on the roof of his mouth, but either way, it’s painful and he’s angry.

16. their dreams

his dream is pretty simple, honestly. to just be allowed to live. he wants the pain of being experimented on and the exhaustion of being on the run constantly to end, and to just settle down and exist with clover and maybe sova and possibly six. he just wants to live. after a life of endless abuse, he just wants to live.

17. their ambitions

he’s not really the ambitious type. he doesn’t actually have any ambitions for himself. he’s still more stuck in survival mode rather than hoping to be something someday

18. how they sleep

snuggled up under either 8.7 blankets or right next to his sister. he likes to keep warm, and clover will wrap her wings around him like a blanket. it’s really sweet tbh

19. their reaction to betrayal

anger. rage. murderous intentions. his trust is not easily won and once it’s broken? you’re literally never getting it back ever again. he trusted you once. he will only make that mistake once.

20. their reaction to a mystery love letter

just confusion. and also a lot of suspicion. he knows about three people, none of whom would ever love him (like that, at the very least), and having his existence known to someone long enough for them to develop feelings about him is terrifying - he’s on the run, so someone must be chasing him. and they’re probably not the good guys.

21. how they react to pain

as shown earlier with the brainfreeze and tongue burning, he gets angry. he’s been in pain most of his life and he’s sick and tired of it. anyone who causes him pain is getting some pain caused in the form of either several kicks, punches, or bites - which may or may not be venomous, depending on his mood.

22. what they’re like on two hours of sleep

more quiet than usual, and a little more snappish, but he’s used to being exhausted. even before his life on the run, the scientists at the School would often make him perform rigorous endurance tests, like running on a treadmill for hours, sometimes with weights. he’s used to exhaustion. it’s sunk into almost every bone.

23. how they act when they’re sick

being sick is honestly terrifying to him. sick mutants back in the School were terminated if they didn’t get well fast enough, so every sneeze, sniffle, and cough runs chills down his spine and he tries to hide it as best he can.

24. what motivates them

rage, spite, and a need to survive. do i really need to say more?

25. why you enjoy them

well, for one, it’s always fun to play around with “science” and combine humans with animals and see what kind of positives and negatives you can get. what the “realities” of those sort of combinations may be. his existence is fascinating, as is watching him learn and grow from being solely running with Clover to suddenly having another winged mutant and a fucking eraser in his “family.”
