Why I'm Voting Inno Mikoto even tho He Definitely Did It

or should I say DID i-*🏏smacked*

TL;DR like many I do not believe a word John says, but I also don't think he has the entire truth. Meanwhile Mikoto's amnesia is near undoubtable. With two unreliable narrators and solid evidence of self-defense, I think we need more before declaring him guilty.

I'm here to be Mikoto's lawyer cuz John ily but you suck at it 😭

Now onto why I'm voting Inno:

Mikoto isn't lying when he says he doesn't remember murdering those people, at least not entirely. The memory is in his subconscious, but he can't even remember the faces of his victims because they were both so out of it.

I believe what we see in MeMe is safe to assume to be his first. The first mannequin smashed onscreen is this one:

That looks like a damn FNAF jumpscare lmao this tells me that his baseball hobby probably saved him from getting jumped at that train station, but it came at a heavy price.

That's where John comes in. To handle the feelings that undoubtedly came with taking a life and having to hide the evidence.

Generally in DID alter's memories fall into one of 3 categories (my observations of myself and other systems):

That event happened. These are all the details. I feel nothing about it.

That event happened and I remember everything I felt like it was seconds ago, but I couldn't tell you specifics

That event happened??

The latter two can safely be assigned to John and Bokukoto. The first one is what we're missing.

I saw someone point out how the train could symbolize that he can never go back (credit urself in the tags if u see this it was a good one) to before he killed.

That brings me to our final scene.

Remember how John split to handle the feelings of that stressor? The feeling of unsafety, pure adrenaline, and righteous anger at the attacker is a horrific thing, but once you experience it you change. In order for an alter to handle the reality of something, it must be accepted somehow. John's way of accepting it is not remembering their faces, only his expressions and actions. That's probably why he's so aggressive; constant fight-or-flight mode.

Mikoto (Bokukoto), like with whatever happened to him in early childhood to cause DID, is unable to accept these realities because doing so would shatter his world (it turns out constant fight-or-flight isn't great for your social life).

So about John's statement that he didn't know any of the victims even though he totally did, at least a little;

John is reading the room and there it is: unsafety, pure adrenaline, and righteous anger at the attacker. That's all he needs to feel to know that it's time to protect Mikoto.

That's not the face and mannerisms of a man who bashes skulls in for kicks. This shit was personal.

I can't tell if it's one or two victims in the second clip here, but I strongly believe they had something to do with his work. His subconscious is really harping on how much his boss got on him and how stressed it made him. Something happened that pushed them over the edge. You don't call your mom after you kill for fun (or maybe you do idk). You call your mom when you know you're fucked.

John initiated the second killing but I don't think he was the only one making a conscious decision. That said, I don't have enough details to condemn Mikoto to another unforgiven verdict.

So, where will we find that info? Well remember RGB Mikoto/Trikoto theory (kudos to whoever coined those too)? Well when I broke down the compartmentalization earlier I hinted that there's a strong chance that SOMEONE remembers every detail, but feels nothing and lays dormant.

Good old green Mikoto, the only one we haven't seen speak yet the one who's given us the most detail so far (via MeMe).

Even if not and Bokukoto remembers more than he's letting on/gets in contact with John, the crime itself isn't unforgivable beyond a shadow of a doubt yet even with multiple victims. His reasons are still cloudy.

Also I like him

Answering Everything in the: Edgy/misc OC ask meme ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

1. What memory would your OC rather just forget?

He'd prefer to forget his nightmares simply for the simplicity of being able to tell what he really has done apart from them with greater ease.

2. What's something about your OC that people wouldn't expect just from looking at them?

For mortals - the extent of his influence and power. It's simply not something expected from some average looking teen/'very babyfaced short business guy'.

For other vampires - the fact he's stepped away from the path of humanity entirely. Sure the greyish parlour of his skin and sense of deathly tiredness may clue them into the way he's at least low on it but when combined with his jovial demeaner and lively body language he comes across as having maintained a connection to the living that other kindred his age often lack.

3. What is your OC's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw

He has a self-destructive impulsive streak and he's very aware of it. It's come with dying without finishing brain development. It's somewhat balanced out with his paranoid indecisiveness.

4. When scared, does your OC fight, flee, freeze or fawn?

It will vary depending on the cause of his fear. Fawn has for a very long time, talking in the centuries, been his default when it comes to dealing with others. But flee or fight follow closely in second. Can't always jump to a fight. Can't always run away. Can't do nothing. So- fawn.

5. How far is your OC willing to go to get what they want?

Leo, for a long time, has adhered to the train of thought that anything and everything is fair game if it leads to the desired outcome. It does not matter how reprehensible the act is in his eyes or the eyes of others - if it achieves the goals that have been set out then those that have been harmed are simply unfortunate casualties in the grand game of the universe.

Besides, he thinks to himself, - If he was unwilling to commit to such an actions, than those that were would have an upper hand over him.

As it stands the most significant thing he has an unwillingness to do is forfeit his position. Followed by throwing aside the Twins. He cares for them greatly... and they're far to useful.

6. How easily could your OC be convinced to do something that goes against their moral compass?

Have a direct path towards something for him to gain.

Take for example the fact the fact he does not wish to see children harmed, yet he killed & embraced Danny at the drop of a hat because he made a suitable decoy so he could feign his death (at least that was his intention).

7. What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them?

Choice of weaponry. He used to be very gun focused (he still likes and collects them) but now he leans towards swords.

Also - when I first created him as an SPC I was still very very new to vtm (I still feel I am) and my notes for him in the games discord channel was the following:

'The Prince. Venture. Became the current prince in 1980. Imagine Five from Umbrella academy. Currently the second oldest kindred in the city (despite looking to be a teenager). Has a slightly abrasive relationship with his clan fellows in the city due to claims of him having a somewhat lax attitude.'

8. Would your OC ostensibly be able to get away with murder?

Yes. Ths boy can do so many murders. A significant part of his job is to cover them up after all.

9. Do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your OC?

His playlist has over 100 songs on it but no specific one jumps to mind. Here's the colour coded spreadsheet of the songs on it.

And once again I'm pulling out this song in particular for anyone that's scrolled far enough in this post

youtube

10. What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?

One AU I have in my head that I keep repeatedly returning to in my head is the improbable situation of 'what would happen if all vampires abruptly woke up alive again one day' and the fallout that follows from that. It makes for an incredibly stressful time for him and going over how he responds to finally getting to grow up is interesting to me.

11. What is your OC's weapon of choice? Have they ever actually used it?

Good ol' reliable blade. More specifically he favours side-swords and rapier like weapons. I talked about it in this ask response.

12. Is your OC self-destructive? In what ways?

Because Leo sees what happens to him as inconsequential so long as he gets out the other end alive having achieved his goals he has put himself through a lot of traumatic situations and dismisses the mental strain that he is putting himself through when he commits himself to scenarios which are retraumatizing.

Aside from this he creates problems for himself on a semi-frequent basis. Which is likely the lessor evil.

13. If you met your OC, would the two of you get along?

We would get along because he's a chameleon that endeavours to get along with everyone. But he would see me as being frightfully lazy and undriven. Lacking in passion, too timid to get anything done, and therefore - disposable. I am the low willpower ghoul he possesses to do things out around town from time to time.

14. How does your OC want to be seen by other characters?

He wishes to be respected, liked, and induce some semblance of fear. He wants to to be the Friendly Neighbourhood Prince, who's approachable and as trustable as a Camarilla Prince to be. Even towards sabbat and hunters his preference is to be seen as someone that can be at least respected as a foe despite his goofy antics but he's well aware that given some of his antics on here he's unlikely to see that.

15. Does your OC have a faceclaim? If so, who?

Yes and no? He has strayed away from his Five clone origin and while the vibes for appearance are still similar it's not 100% right? This is my curse. Never shall I have a real person faceclaim and go 'Yes. Them. 100%'. The same way in which not all picrews feel as close as others.

16. What is your OC's pain tolerance like?

He's maxed up fortitude as high as he can for his generation. It makes him fairly numb and his pain tolerance rather high. At least in the moment. Once there is downtime he's going to whine about bumping into a table if given the opportunity.

17. What is the worst thing you have put your OC through story-wise?

I could say a lot of things here, I have dragged this boy through absolute hell and often leave things only vague or alluded to cos it's a case of me with my criminology degree going 'he would of probably seen this sort of thing... but I don't want to explicitly write it out for personal comfort'.

But... I think the fact that Leo maintains the distinct memory from his mortal life of being feverish from the plague and looking to the side to see his fathers deceased face blindly staring back at him has to be the cruellest thing I've burdened him with.

18. Is your OC more cold and detached or up close and personal?

Depends on who's interacting with him. If he wants you to like him he's going to act close and personal but he's really rather detached. Can't not be able to discard someone at the drop of a hat.

19. How does your OC behave when enraged?

Tense if the person on the receiving end of his anger is lucky and he does not wish to kill them. But he can become incredibly violent at the drop of a hat if he's pissed off. He is the start consuming flesh off his target in anger without being in fury frenzy. At least he'd claim he wasn't in it.

20. Does your OC have a tendency to get jealous? If so, how does this manifest?

He does. It's why he harks on yearn-posting for example. For the most part it's something he can shrug off but when it is something he feels he can be petty about he will attempt to find ways to throw as many spanners in the works as he can. (e.g. Were anyone to attempt to pursue Thea romantically they'd suddenly wonder why their life is falling apart.)

21. Does your OC have any illnesses or disorders? How do they handle it?

None that manage to be evident through the filter of vampirism. Were he alive however he does have some scarring of his lungs which would become an issue during times of physical exertion.

22. What character alignment would you consider your OC to be?

Neutral Evil.

23. What emotion is the hardest for your OC to process? How about express?

Honestly, really unsure what one it'd be. He's more introspective than me and has greater manipulative knowledge of how to ID then mess with emotions so I'd presume he has an okay grasp of things. Look, I ain't been to therapy. I dunno what emotions are y'all.

24. What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down?

Dead. Either sickness, starvation, or execution. Unless we're making an AU where he's born in the modern world. If his sire hadn't intervened in his life he would of been caught out at some point. So, I guess if he hadn't stolen clothes and gone to that gathering that'd be the alternate path.

25. How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?

Dead before 20.

26. What is your favorite thing about your OC?

I like that because he's always putting on at least some kind of act that I can sweep my inconsistent characterisation and stupidity under the rug as him just messing around. He takes a lot of weight off.
