i got the idea to make a bingo thing for spamton fan designs after my friend showed me some bingos for other deltarune fan stuff :] basically i gathered a bunch of canon-divergent/not confirmed/otherwise notable* design aspects i've noticed in spamton fan art these past years and put them in. feel free to fill it out if you want!
addendum: this is mostly intended for your interpretation of spamton during or post ch2, which is why some things like "not even a puppet" are in there (it's p heavily implied that he wasn't a puppet at some point but is now)
*under the read more cause i'm trying to keep this section brief
filled out card + a lot of rambling below:
*obviously there's nothing wrong with being canon-divergent and putting your own spin/interpretation on a character, i draw spamton buff and with huge tits it's fine lol. i may have my opinions but it's whatever; i'm not an authority i'm just some guy. also i put in trans/gq in as a design thing since that often does factor into a person's presentation/looks
----
also here's my filled out card:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i guess i should've put some images of him at first whoopsie)
----
did i rig it so i can win? technically yes but technically no
i wanted to arrange the card to have common traits that i saw together in bingo-winning lines, but i soon realized that it was impossible to get everything to fit together that way. especially with contradictory squares like tall and microscopic or puppet-exclusive features being in a line with the "not even a puppet" square
i couldn't fit in everything i thought of either. i actually wanted to have "100% canon compliant" on here cause i thought it would be fun. i think the people who stick really close to his canon design are just as interesting as everyone who does their own spin
idk i think this is all interesting! the deltarune fandom is unique in that everyone has to interpret character designs from a small size, so people almost Have to diverge from whatever may have been intended for a character, and that results in a lot of different interpretations. it's definitely helped me strengthen my own sense of character design as someone who used to be kind of a hardass about fan art accuracy

hewwo everyone!!!! today im going to be talking about my favorite dimir deck i have made and why i think its really strong and cool!!!!
the commander is...
UKKIMA, STALKING SHADOW
Tumblr media
(drawing is by my gf @goqmir )
this is a dimir deck built around loading up the unblockable commander with equipment and +1/+1 counters and swinging face until i win with commander damage!!!! this deck tends to kill in a few good swings if im allowed to set up due to the sheer amount of equipment that gives at least +2 to ukkimas power.
this deck is not playing the green partner commander in cazur, ruthless stalker because he isn't quite good enough in this shell (he at best gives a +1/+1 counter every one of my turns starting on turn 4) and adding green imo really changes the core idea of the deck. it probably gives me more good protection and i would love to try this deck with more good protection but ultimately it just didnt fit my vision lol
this deck has only the one creature in ukkima, and the majority of the deck is equipment, enchantments, and instants. every spell in this deck other then board wipes (which btw are mass bounce that keep ukkima on the field usually like wave goodbye and raise the palisade, also am interested in kindred dominance possibly) is built to make ukkima bigger or to protect ukkima from any potential removal. this deck runs about 14 or so counterspells, several blink spells to protect as well as blink ukkima and take advantage of her second ability, and lots of ways to give hexproof as well as phase out my commander.
this deck runs lots of utility lands that help it play the long game. some cool ones are witches clinic which is amazing and allows you to gain life while putting your opponents really close to death, cathedral of war is funny because it pumps my creature with exalted, malakir rebirth is death protection, and command beacon makes ukkima more resilient against command tax!!!!
some of my favorite cards in this deck are...
teferi's veil - this card i havent actually gotten to play with, but this deck does not block. it doesnt care about creature combat cause i want to win in a few swings with ukkima and therefore phasing my commander after combat leads to it being impossible to board wipe or hit it with sorcery speed removal. this card makes instant speed the only way to interact with my commander and that is pretty insane lol
unspeakable symbol - this is one of my current favorite cards and makes any creature that can get in into a one shot threat for only three mana and a lot of life. if you arent in danger of dying to damage this card is insane. it makes ukkima one shot starting on the turn after ukkima etbs so that it can attack unblocked versus the most threatening player or the one with the best removal and then the rest of the table isnt far behind. also if ukkima dies after the counters are placed you gain a bunch if life back lol
hatred - this card plays very similar to unspeakable symbol in that you pay a million life to one shot someone but is a little more efficient at doing it (although it does cost more :/) these are not that fun in a casual setting but they make this deck win out of nowhere if you have protection held up and thats important sometimes!!!!
homocidal seclusion - this is the reason i built the deck cause its really cute and funny with only one creature in the deck and also buffs ukkima to a 5 power creature with lifelink which is a pretty good unblockable clock!!!!
feast on the fallen - this card seems kinda crazy in multiplayer cause on my turn i deal damage which triggers this on the next upkeep and then my opponents have to deal combat damage at some point (at least in my playgroup) dotot theoretically grows ukkima every turn with a counter.
this deck overall is pretty insane and lets you play a control deck with a voltron win con and its a very fun mix of playstyles. this list could be improved further and i could probably make a green version and test that one out too but im very happy with the current state of this pile!!!!
there are a couple weird picks for cards that are my playgroup specific like unsubstantiate which is only there for bouncing thassas oracle on the stack cause my friend plays that but overall the deck is just built for speed!!!!
also my headcanon is that ukkima is a fucking girl baby!!!! she/it pronouns wooooooo!!!!
thank you for reading!!!!

i'm still (slowly, occasionally) working on the notes from zenith's travels with his previous group. one thing i know though is that right at the end he gets into a fight with cobwynn (half-elf paladin). i've generally been assuming that he kills them but we'll see how that turns out when i get there.
essentially, he travels with this group for the equivalent of three levels, and this is before he gets the brooch that masks his creature type. from the beginning he's more worried about wiris, who is a monster hunter, considering by some definitions that could include him. while people might’ve had suspicions about him not being human before, no one's ever confronted him about it. he's unsure how it would go over, considering his understanding of 1) people being wary over Different things, 2) people being scared of the things that predate on them, and 3) the illegality of his being here. so largely he tries to avoid causing specific kinds of trouble around this group. hunts outside of the party unless they're camped too far from anyone else, mostly. takes extra care not to do... non-human things, like crawling up walls etc. still open about getting his magic from the far realm, still claims to have interacted with an aberration which caused this, but maybe avoids talking about that too much.
wiris definitely doesn't LOVE all that, think zenith is weird for it, but largely she figures it isn't her business as long as his aberration friend stayed where it was. with zenith being like ahaha sure sure. sure. cobwynn is more vocal about not liking all of this, being a bit skeeved out by some of the things zenith can do and disapproving of his continued interactions with this aberration. EVERYTHING is cobwynn's business, you see. zenith tries to avoid arguing with cobwynn too much but also riling them up is fun lmao. he still thinks of wiris as the bigger threat, cobwynn just has opinions on everything and hates fun, but he figures it'd be best to keep things on the DL as much as he can with everyone. (vinzin, the last member of the party, really couldn't fucking care less)
however. cobwynn finds out one time the group is split up. they cast detect good and evil, which zenith hadn't encountered before, and he pings as an aberration. cobwynn is incapable of being cool or biding their time so they immediately confront him about it. zenith tries to keep things chill and explain once he realizes what's going on, like okay yes he's an aberration, sorry for lying, he just had to be careful yknow? but it's fine! he's just here to explore and earn money and do fun things, just like the rest of them! and he's saying this with a smile but his eyes are on cobwynn's hand resting on their sword. cobwynn interrogates him and makes it clear that they're immediately interpreting him as a threat, and zenith tries to de-escalate, but the instant cobwynn starts to draw their weapon he attacks first.
i'm not sure how the fight goes yet because i want to play it out. if zenith wins and kills cobwynn I imagine it's a close fight, cobwynn is strong and has some buffs that could really fuck with him. but zenith can spiderclimb out of reach and has magical attacks. if push comes to shove, he also has no problem running. get the hell out of there. so either he kills cobwynn, loots and hides the body, then leaves the group without alerting the others, or zenith bolts when he gets a chance. first one is better for him because then cobwynn can't go back to the others and tell them what happened with their own spin.
either way, zenith leaves the encounter feeling like he really needs to keep the aberration thing a secret. people don't take that news well, apparently! researches how to get around that spell, finds his brooch. also avoids the general area where his previous party was stationed.

Who’s your favorite OC??? Can you tell me all about them in as much or as little detail as you like???
choosing from my children !! i couldn't choose but I can definitely tell you about literally all of them >:))
I have ocs that i haven't really developed like valka, solo and Ilya that just exist because I think they are super pretty and thats about it and I have characters like grim and vasil that i have A LOT to talk about but want to keep secret for the campaigns they're in (don't wanna spoil for the players!!)
BUT my oldest and tbh most beloved oc has to be mersi! You probably seen him he's the slutty red tiefling that i draw in compromising positions so often, he is my whisper bard who's clinically insane and unmedicated and god who let him outside in the wild and i just love him so much !! my first ever dnd character !!! if you wanna know the nitty gritty details of him i have a notion full of everything!
the other oc that i rlly love is romeo! he is the other bard i play, and he's a dhampir made of marble! he is the definition of "aw he's cute,,,wait he's fucked up actually" and that was my goal all along >:) i wanted to write and play a character that had a lot of metaphors connected to breaking and shattering and it was like kinda perfect to make him out of marble in that case too cause wow, storytelling am i right! he just need to work on himself which he really does not want to do but the people around him really care for him which - we'll have to see what happens!
(I have a notion for him too )
prophet is another dnd character I played shortly, my big buff barbarian elf lady! I haven't written about her a lot but she was basically built as a war machine by her kind-of-dad who was an evil son of a bitch who then left her. and she went on this whole arc of like, self-realization and also humanity which she didn't have before. she eventually killed her father and that's how her arc ended but damn, she was so much fun to play!
I really hope to talk about Grim and Vasil more as their campaigns start and continue tbh and i can't wait to share it with everyone!!!

Hey Everyone I'm no pro at Elden Ring but I love helping other people get through boss fights or caves/tombs. Here's some things I've picked up and thought I might share:
• If you are summoning others to help fight a boss...PLEASE turn OFF your matchmaking so we don't get invaded by PvP players.
(Also to those who like to do invasions... have the common sense/decency to recognize when this is the situation. So don't impede their preparation for the boss or stop them from starting the boss fight. I can understand the fun of competing against others but they are there to help with a boss not to fight you so don't be a jerk. It doesn't make you god tier to kill players that aren't geared for PvP)
• If you are the Host remember your priority is to survive (I know crazy right), but seriously, don't overdo it drawing all the agro or throwing yourself at the boss.
• Rotate drawing agro from enemies/bosses. This prevents them from attacking as much, opens them up for attacks, and helps give each other time to heal.
• Please don't pull a Leroy Jenkins and just run through the boss door as soon as your cooperators spawn in. I always buff everyone and typically see other cooperators doing the same so wait to make sure everyone is ready!
• Plus if it is your first time fighting a boss you start significantly closer to them so don't fight them right off the bat, move away. I can't tell you how many boss fights I've entered just to watch the host die instantly cause they don't realize we are still half a mile away.
• Try to summon 2 people, this gives you the best odds of winning. I don't mind waiting for a third so don't feel rushed to start the fight.
• Keep in mind to not cancel out the frostbite someone's building on a boss with your fire abilities. (This is important especially for Malenia where frostbite is the most helpful)
I'm sure a lot of you are already aware, but for those that aren't, here's some individual tips for bosses I often help people with:
• For Godfrey- Someone stay close to him when he starts his stomping phase or at least try to knock his health down quickly enough to start the second half of the fight. Staying close will reduce how much he darts around and stomps. However when it comes to his grappling phase keep your distance and focus on dodging. basically play hot potato drawing his agro so the others can hit him. If you can manage to give him Scarlet Rot time will handle the rest of his health.
• For both Godfrey and Radagon jumping is your friend. While the timing window is smaller for Radagon's attacks jumping around him, or in general, can save you from getting hit or at least reduce the damage.
• For Malenia- Utilize weapons/skills that take out poise easily. Malenia is easily staggered so take advantage of that. If you give her too much breathing time she'll either take you out or she'll steal health from you.
For example: I spam her with the Death Ritual Spear's Spearcall Ritual, I've had fights where she never gets to move from me doing this along with others attacking up close. I'd also recommend learning the pattern to avoiding her Waterfowl Dance, there's videos and forums on how to pull this off.
I'm sure I'll think of more notes to add in the future but if anyone wants to add on their own please do! Like I said before, I am not a pro at this game I just enjoy helping others!

ꕥ — WELCOME TO EXO COSMIA, BLOSSOM. 🌑
Tumblr media
ꕥ  — OOC INFORMATION;
name / alias: Justin age: 23 pronouns: he/him ooc contact: @selunesangel on twitter other characters in xc: Sveta, Bluestar, Charlette
ꕥ  — IC INFORMATION;
name: Blossom age: 25 pronouns: she/her series: OC (Hearts of Arcanum) canon point: After making it out of Zymphare app triggers: none
personality: Blossom is very happy-go-lucky and optimistic, always trying to put the best spin on everything that she can. She’s quite naive about the world, because she’s experienced so little of it. She is also a sower of chaos, fun chaos, but she is very chaotic. And she is a sore loser, she absolutely despises losing.
something your muse struggles with: She is very impulsive, and acts on her first thought.
your muse’s greatest strength: She has a massive heart and will lend a hand to all.
history / background: Blossom grew up in a small tribe on the outskirts of Inae in the Inae Forest. Her tribe mostly functioned away from the norms of society, hunting and gathering for themselves and occasionally helping out travelers on their way through the forest. Not long after the cult attacks Purrera, they begin to move towards Inae and the forest. When the elder of her tribe asks for someone to check on the Mote of Life, she volunteers, quickly heading off into the center of the forest where the Mote sits on a pedestal. However, on her way there, she is waylaid by one of the more dangerous monsters in the forest, a half hound, half lizard known as a Skodo. That is where she meets with Arienna, Vinari, and Ilire on their way to also find and secure the Mote of Life from the cult. The four of them together make it, slay the massive treant guarding it, and make their way back to the tribe.
Unfortunately, when they arrive back there, they find that the cult has already made their way through and has killed everyone and razed the place to the ground. Blossom, in a fit of depression, runs back into the forest, where the group finds her wallowing and crying over her lost family. After some consoling, she decides to join the party to stop the cult from hurting anyone else. There’s a number of pit stops along the way, but upon figuring out they need a boat, they go to Cyndere to meet with a ship captain, Zireh. She offers to help on the grounds that the cult is causing problems for her business. With the help of Zireh, they make it into Zymphare to confront the cult, finding that they have been testing and trying to create their own Spirit, a powerful magical force that is made manifest by the very essence of the earth beneath their feet. Blossom says that they need to save them all, leading to a long trek around the city to free the trapped experiments.
powers / abilities: Blossom has the primary Role of Warrior at level 6 and the secondary Role of Knight at level 3. This grants her the following abilities from these Roles:
Warrior 1 - Adrenalines: This grants the Warrior the special action of Adrenaline in combat. This is a buff that they can apply at any point in combat, and it will last for the rest of combat. The effect cannot be ended, and you cannot apply more than one at a time. They get two initially.
Provocation: The Warrior induces a fury within themselves, increasing their Attack by 0.2 (e.g. from 1.0x Attack score to 1.2x damage).
Aggravation: The Warrior lets out a rage filled roar, drawing attention to them, raising their target chance to 55%.
Warrior 2 - Fury Blinded: If the Warrior is under the effect of an Adrenaline, it cannot be affected by anything that would cause Blindness. If it is Blinded currently, using an Adrenaline would end the effect.
Warrior 3 - Battle Cry: The Warrior gains an additional choice as part of their Attack action, Battle Cry. They can let out a war cry, emboldening the party’s Attack score by 1.2x for four rounds. Using this whole under the effect of Battle Cry would extend the duration back to four rounds.
Warrior 4 - Armor Breaker: The Warrior has learned how to push their strength even further, to the point of shattering even the strongest defenses. When they attack a target, they treat that target’s defense as if it were 75% of its current amount.
Warrior 5 - Adrenaline Rush: The Warrior gains additional Adrenalines.
Preservation: The Warrior’s body hardens, protecting them from physical strikes. They take 0.75x damage from physical damage.
Acceleration: The Warrior gets their blood pumping, increasing their Speed score by 0.2 (e.g. from 1.0x Speed to 1.2x).
Warrior 6 - Scar: The Warrior’s normal attacks now have a 50% chance to apply the Bleed condition.
Knight 1 - Oaths: The Knight has a number of oaths that they take in order to keep their fellow party members safe, whether it be via actual protections, or boons to their damage. Oaths are active for four rounds. The Knight can have multiple Oaths active at once. Recasting an Oath would extend the timer back to four. They get two initially.
Safeguard: When activated, the Knight will leap in front of oncoming single target attacks against the party member with the lowest current health.
Provocation: The Knight increases their chance of being targeted to 55%.
Knight 2 - Steeled Body: The Knight raises their Defense stat by 15%.
Knight 3 - Against the Tide: The Knight cannot be Pushed Back in combat.
inherent abilities: All creatures in her world have inherent magic that they gain throughout their lives. As an Ungulate Beastling, Blossom has the following:
Instinct: Once cast, the caster readies itself to counterattack if hit before the end of the round. Deals 1.25x normal damage to the first creature that damages the caster
Shear: Increases speed by 15%, but decreases defense by 10%
Beast Speech: Allows the caster to speak and understand animal NPCs
Thick Skull: Increases target’s Attack by 50% for three rounds. At the end of the third round, become stunned and take damage equal to 1/2 of the target's attack damage
items / weapons: 
Shatterbone: A relic axe that has a physical damage stat of 150 and grants a +30 bonus to her defense. Upon striking a critical hit, the target takes death damage equal to 50% of total damage dealt and cripples the enemy.
Hard Leather Cap: Grants a +15 to her defense.
Raging Chest: Grants a +40 to her defense. While she is under the effects of an adrenaline, grants her a +10 to her attack.
Steel Gauntlets: Grants a +20 to her defense.
Hard Leather Boots: Grants a +20 to her defense.
Guardian’s Ring: While an oath is active, grants a +20 bonus to all ally’s defenses.
Varun’s Ring: When she attacks, she swings an additional time.
starting ability: Warrior 1 - Adrenalines starting item: Shatterbone
extra: :D sheepy!

My Hero Academia DRAWING SMASH Exhibition Master Thread + Audio Guide Summary Translation!
1) All My Hero Academia DRAWING SMASH Tweets and Info 2) Horikoshi’s Interview about the Exhibition 3) Pre-Order MHA Exhibition Merchandise
FULL AUDIO GUIDE SUMMARY TRANSLATION: 1) Welcome Message 2) Roaring Sports Festival 3) The Test 4) My Hero Academia School Briefs 5) ULTRA HEROES 6) WANTED VILLAINS 7) ONE FOR ALL 8) ONE’S JUSTICE 9) Ending Credits
TRACK 1: WELCOME MESSAGE
All Might introduces and welcomes us to the My Hero Academia DRAWING SMASH Exhibition. Deku is also there and says that while listening to this audio guide, please don’t stop movnig as you will hold up the line and flow of traffic. He explains that the Exhibition is split into many different areas, and there’s tons of hand-drawn panels by Horikoshi-sensei on display too. There is also a section in the Exhibition that focuses on the anime too! All Might tells Deku that there’s a section dedicated to All Might himself, and Deku gets super excited and turns to Bakugou and says, “Kacchan, did you hear that? Uh Kacchan? Where are you?” Deku tries looking for Bakugou, but Aizawa comes and tells Deku to move along the line.
TRACK 2: ROARING SPORTS FESTIVAL
Ochako waves at Deku and says, “over here, Deku!” Deku goes to where she’s standing and looks at the different manga panels from the Sports Festival. He says thanks to Ochako, Tokoyami, and Hatsume, they were able to win that fight in the Sports Festival. Ochako sees her fight with Bakugou and says he was too strong, but she really wanted to win that fight for her Mom and Dad. Deku tells her it’s okay because she definitely tried her best. Ochako gets a bit flustered at this. Bakugou then passes by and asks, “Who did their best? No matter how many times I fight Deku, I’d obviously always win. But if Deku maybe was a bit more buff, he could PERHAPS put up a fight.” Ochako exclaims, “WOAH! Bakugou praised him! It’s definitely going to snow tomorrow.” Bakugou tells her to shut up.
Deku sees the next panel, which is the fight between himself and Todoroki. Ochako excitedly recites the line Deku said to Todoroki, which was the “It’s your power isn’t it!?” line. Deku gets embarrassed and tells her to stop. Todoroki thanks Deku and says it’s because of him that he remembered why exactly he wanted to be a hero in the first place. Bakugou yells at them for being sappy and gross. They then turn their attention to the panels featuring the fight between Todoroki and Bakugou. Deku said Todoroki performed really well, but Bakugou’s Howitzer Impact move was super strong. Bakugou yells that he doesn’t want to be reminded of his unwarranted victory from that fight. Todoroki apologizes.
Ochako says that Bakugou’s poor performance made his image look really bad since it was broadcasted on national television, but Bakugou says he could care less. Todoroki says he’s sorry he didn’t fight his best as he was troubled during that fight, but his head is clear now. Todoroki says he will be a proper hero. Deku says he wants to be like All Might. Bakugou says he wants to surpass All Might. Aizawa then comes and tells the group to move along as they are holding up the line.
TRACK 3: THE TEST
Deku explains that after the Sports Festival, the Hero Class went on internships with Pro Heroes. Todoroki mentions that during this time, the villains started to make moves in society, such as when they encountered Stain. Deku then goes on to say that after the Stain encounter, their class went to do the Forest Training during the Summer. Ochako remarks that Bakugou got kidnapped during this training period, and Bakugou tells her to shut up. Todoroki then explains that he, Iida, Kirishima, Yaoyorozu, and Midoriya went to save him. Bakugou continues to tell everyone to shut up. Deku then says he’s glad they were successful in saving Bakugou, all thanks to Kirishima. Bakugou says, “I told you guys to stop talking about this!”
Deku then talks about the next moment in the timeline, which was the Provisional License Exam. Ochako said she trained so hard using her Zero Gravity quirk that just thinking about it now makes her want to throw up. Deku says that even though it was really difficult to train for the exam, the training did help him master using the Shoot Style with his legs as well. Todoroki mentions that the move Midoriya came up with using his feet was very strong, and Deku said that he also got used to it. Deku thanks Hatsume for making the costume and shoes for him.
Ochako says the Provisional License Exam this year in particular was difficult as the passing rate was abysmally low. She asks Bakugou if the Provisional License Exam was difficult, and Bakugou says “shut up don’t remind me.” Todoroki then says, “Yeah, it must have sucked to fail the Provisional License Exam” and Bakugou says, “What the hell- you failed too!” Deku tells them all to calm down. He says that Bakugou’s team did well in the first exam thanks to Kaminari’s new technique made possible by the point shooter gear he got from Hatsume. Bakugou once again tells everyone to shut up.
Todoroki recalls that their entire class did well in the first round, but he personally messed up in the second round, which caused him to fail the exam. Bakugou mocks him and says “what a loser, failing the exam” and Ochako says “but you failed too.” Bakugou yells “SHUT THE HELL UP!!!”
TRACK 4: MY HERO ACADEMIA SCHOOL BRIEFS
This entire track is a recap of various events that happened at U.A. Academy on campus. Deku starts off by saying he was so nervous when he first started school at U.A. but was thankful that he was able to make friends with Iida and Ochako so quickly. Bakugou scoffs and says, “isn’t it because you just didn’t have any friends in middle school?” Deku nervously says, “I think I had a few friends…!” Todoroki asks Deku why he didn’t deny it though.
Ochako remembers that Aizawa first asked the class to test their quirks, and Aizawa comes in and says he did that because he wanted to see their potential. Deku gets nervous and wonders if Aizawa came up to them because they were holding up the line, but Aizawa said he didn’t even say anything.
Todoroki said being part of the Hero Class meant that they had tons of different types of classes, and it was sometimes quite confusing. Ochako says even though it was difficult, it was still fun, such as when they had to decide on their hero names. Bakugou scoffs and says, “Stupid Deku actually chose his Hero Name as ‘Deku’ the hell? Did he finally lose it?” Deku rebutts and says, “But I actually like that as my Hero name!” Bakugou asks Deku, “What’s so good about that name?” Deku then asks Bakugou if he had decided on a hero name yet, and Bakugou says, “Nah, I’m not gonna tell you.” Deku replies, “What, why not?”
Aizawa reminisces and says that Deku and Bakugou fought really well against All Might during the Final Exam. Bakugou said he did that so he could win against All Might. If it wasn’t for that why would he team up with Deku? Bakugou then yells, “Stupid Deku! I’m gonna Kill you!” and Deku gets confused as to why he’s saying this. Ochako mentions that saying stuff like that would definitely get them cut from all Hero interviews, and Todoroki mentions that they should be careful about what they say.
Bakugou gets mad and says he’s going to kill all three of them, and Deku asks, “so now you’re targeting 3 people!?”
Aizawa reprimands them and Deku apologizes, promising that he won’t argue anymore. Aizawa keeps a firm stance to Bakugou too. He tells Bakugou that heroes need to use their quirks to save people, not kill them. Bakugou says it wasn’t like he was actually going to do that, he’s not that kind of person.
All Might steps in and says they should put this behind them. He suggests that they should just go and see the other stuff in the Exhibition together in the U.A. area. He sees that there’s a section made just for Mineta. Deku says, “Wow it’s full of Mineta scenes!” Ochako looks at it and says, “Oh, how nice” and Bakugou says, “hmph, it’s just a place to show off an animal.” Todoroki asks Bakugou if he’s jealous that Mineta has the spotlight, and Bakugou says, “Ha! As if!!”
All might sees the Cultural Festival area and says, “Oh! This is the time when U.A. Academy held the Cultural Festival!” Ochako mentions that it was really fun. All might says Class A performed with both a band and a dance team. Deku mentions that during the Cultural Festival, the whole school gets together to create activities and open stands around the campus, and it’s not just the Hero Class but the General and Economics classes also join in too. All Might asks who’s idea was it to do the dance for Class A? Deku says it was Todoroki’s idea. Todoroki said he just thought it would be nice to have something that everyone can participate and have fun, and Deku says it was a great idea.
Ochako says everyone was able to participate in it too. Deku mentions Jirou was the one in charge of leading the band, Ashido was in charge of the dance team. Todoroki said they did well using their quirks to create a great performance. Ochako says she didn’t expect Bakugou to actually participate and play the drums for them, and she recites his line, “Let’s kill ‘em with sound!” Bakugou scoffs at her and Todoroki asks Bakugou, “why do you get angry when people praise you?” Bakugou replies, “What the hell are you even talking about!?”
Todoroki goes on to say that Jirou’s performance during the song was really great. Bakugou yells at hiim to stop changing the subject!
All Might asks if Deku enjoyed the Cultural Festival. He answers that it was really fun, and seeing people outside of their class was awesome, such as Eri as well. Deku mentions that they were able to finally let her smile, and that made him so happy. Aizawa also agrees.
All Might says it’s important for heroes to bring smiles to people’s faces. He tells them to never forget that. Deku says, “Of course, All Might!” Aizawa says to Deku that he’s stopping in line again. Deku apologizes, and All Might asks them to hurry along down the line.
TRACK 5: ULTRA HEROES
This track plays in the area where you see all the Hero panels. The heroes on display are Mirko, Bakugou, Ochako, Deku, Todoroki, Hawks, Endeavor, Amajiki, Kirishima, Mirio, and Nejire. Ochako says, “woah, there’s so many heroes!” Deku gets excited and sees the first Hero, Mirko. He goes on a ramble saying she’s ranked #5 in the Hero Ranking, her quirk is using her bunny abilities. He says that Mirko has not only a ton of male fans, but female fans as well. Bakugou snickers at Deku and exclaims, “you’re such a Hero nerd!”
Ochako mentions that the next Hero after Mirko is Bakugou. Deku introduces Bakugou, saying “This is Bakugou Katsuki. He’s enrolled in U.A. Academy and sits in Seat #17 in Class A. He has a hero name, but he won’t tell him…”
Bakugou gets angry. Todoroki then continues and says, “His quirk is explosions by using nitroglycerin that he emits from his hands.”
Bakugou tells them to shut up.
Todoroki ignores Bakugou and continues with, “His personality is…”
Bakugou screams, “SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!”
And Todoroki finishes with, “…like that.”
Ochako then sees herself and says, “Oh it’s me!!” She explains her quirk and how she can cause anything to float if she touches then, but if she puts her fingers together, she can release the zero gravity as well. Bakugou then mentions that she also throws up if she uses her quirk too much. Ochako gets embarrassed and says that he really did not need to say that!
Deku says they should go on to the next person, which is him. He introduces himself as Midoriya Izuku, and his hero name is Deku. He whispers, “My quirk is…One For All…Please read the manga to find out more about it…” Todoroki asks Deku why he’s whispering, and Deku gets nervous and says, “Oh, it’s nothing at all!”
Deku sees that next up is Todoroki. Ochako introduces Todoroki and says “his full name is Todoroki Shouto, anad his hero name is just like his first name, Shouto!” Todoroki explains his quirk, and Deku says he has a truly impressive quirk since he can combine them together to create awesome attacks. Todoroki says he still needs to polish his quirk, and Ochako mentions he’s a very stoic person.
The next hero is Hawks, and Deku gets excited, saying “Oh it’s the winged hero Hawks!” Deku goes on to ramble details about Hawks, such as him being Rank #2 on the Hero Ranking Billboard, his quirk is using his feathers, but he keeps going on and Ochako says, “Ahh, maybe we should move on to the next one!”
Next up is Endeavor. Todoroki explains that Endeavor’s Quirk is called “Hell Flame.” He can emit fire at extremely high temperatures, but if he overuses his quirk, he gets burned instead. Deku says on that note, Todoroki’s quirk is better than his father’s since he can use the ice part to cool himself down. Todoroki muses that perhaps he does have an advantage over his Father.
The next Hero in line is Amajiki Tamaki. Deku introduces him as part of U.A. Academy’s Big 3. His hero name is Sun Eater. His quirk is transforming parts of his body into animals, and he can do this by eating food of that animal. Ochako explains further that if he eats takoyaki, he can use octopus arms, if he eats fried chicken, he can use the chickens legs. She then goes off saying, “tuna, beef, fish roe, mochi…” Todoroki asks if she just suddenly started rambling on about food because she just wants to eat those food, and Ochako says “I’m hungry…”
Deku sees that the next hero is Kirishima. He asks Bakugou to introduce Kirishima since they’re friends. Bakugou says, “What do you mean friends? He’s just my lackey!” Deku says, “Err…okay, Kirishima Eijirou, Hero name Red Riot. His quirk is Hardening.” Bakugou then scoffs saying, “He’s just an idiot who gets hard, that’s all!” Ochako comments, saying, “Well, you don’t need to be shy about it!” Bakugou then yells, “I’m not being shy!”
Todoroki moves the conversation along and mentions that the next Hero is Mirio-senpai. Deku introduces Mirio’s hero name as Lemillion and mentions his quirk allows him to go through things. Ochako says that according to Aizawa-sensei, Mirio is the closest to being the same rank as the Number 1 Hero. Bakugou grumbles and says, “No, I’M the one who’s going to be Number 1!” Ochako says, “Right…of course you are…” and Bakugou gets furious, saying, “YOU DARE MAKE FUN OF ME!?”
Ochako notices that the next Hero is Nejire Hado. She introduces her and says her Hero name is Nejire-chan. Ochako explains how her quirk works, and Deku remarks that Nejire can also use it to fly. Ochako adds that Nejire also won the U.A. Beauty Contest during the Cultural Festival.
Todoroki says after seeing all the Heroes lined up like this, everyone truly has amazing quirks. Bakugou says they’re all underlings compared to him though. Ochako says, “Right…of course…” and Bakugou explodes once again, asking,  “What the hell, are you making fun of me?” and Ochako repeats, “right…of course” to which Bakugou curses. Deku says to the group, “We really should be moving down the line now…”
TRACK 6: WANTED VILLAINS
Aizawa asks All Might to look at the new data he pulled up on the computer about the League of Villains. The first villain they look at is the various Nomu. The file says that the Nomus are injected with quirks that are stolen or enhanced from either themselves or other people. The next villain is Stain, who Aizawa mentions killed many heroes that he deemed unfit to be a Hero. His quirk is being able to control people by drinking their blood. All Might says the next villain in the file is Gigantomachia. Aizawa mentions that aside from being able to make his body gigantic, not much is known about Gigantomachia’s quirk. What they do know is that he works for All For One.
The villain after that is Twice with a quirk that allows him to multiply hiimself.
All Might mentions that the next villain file is Shigaraki. Aizawa says he’s the current leader for the League of Villains. His quirk is the formidable disintegration quirk that can disintegrate anything that he touches with five fingers. Next up is Dabi. Aizawa mentions that his quirk is unknown but he has been seen using blue fire. Aizawa remembers fighting against Dabi during the Forest Training, and he saw that blue fire.
All Might pulls up Toga’s file afterwards. Aizawa mentions that she can turn into anyone if she has even just a sip of their blood. The villain after her is Mr. Compress, who is able to compress and decompress things or people. He can also use it on multiple objects at the same time.
The villain after Twice is Re Destro, who is the leader of the Meta Liberation Army. Aizawa says that his quirk is stress, which he builds up to release immense power.
All Might then opens All For One’s file. Aizawa says that they really don’t know anything about his quirk. The villain after him is the Doctor, who also has an unknown quirk. They do have information that the Doctor is the one in charge of creating the gruesome Nomu and High End Nomu too.
All Might mentions the League of Villains is probably plotting something even though he fought All For One and sent many of them to Tartarus. Aizawa said they must be scheming something since if the incident with the High End nomu is any indication. All Might says even if the League of Villains is on the move, the Heroes will not lose to them.
TRACK 7: ONE FOR ALL
Track 7 is a monologue by All Might. It plays in the All Might section of the Exhibition where manga panels of All Might are on display as well as a ton of decoration with All Might on the walls as well.
All might says that in order to create a society where people can freely smile and feel safe, it was necessary to have a Symbol of Peace. He wanted to be a pillar where people can depend on and smile when they see him. All Might says he inherited One For All to do just that. He is the 8th successor of One For All, and all previous One For All holders and he worked together to try to defeat All For One. However, even if they lose their lives in the fight against All For One, their hope still passes onto their successors.
They need to be Symbols of Peace for the people. All Might says he wants to be the person who can bring smiles to people’s faces. No matter what happens, he needs to keep on smiling. Those who are able to keep smiling are the strongest. That’s why he smiles.
He says that Young Midoriya and he were both quirkless. But after meeting Midoriya and seeing the strong willpower that he possessed, he knew that he had to mentor him to be his successor. All Might says to Midoriya, “Everything, from One For All to my own feelings in my heart, I entrust them all to you. Young Midoriya, you’re next.”
TRACK 8: ONE’S JUSTICE
Track 8 plays in the room where there’s panels leading up to the Paranormal Liberation War Arc. All Might starts off the audio track by explaining the big war between the Villains and the Pro-Heroes, which the U.A. Academy heroes in training also participated in. Endeavor, Miruko, and Eraserhead were dispatched to the lair of the Villains where Shigaraki unfortunately awoken as well. Once he woke up, he began destroying people and things one after another. However, the Heroes did not waver and fought back to villains while protecting the civilians.
What the villains want is to create a new world without heroes.
What Shigaraki wants is to destroy everything.
What Midoriya wants is to protect everyone with a smile.
What Bakugou wants is to be the best hero and not lose to anyone.
What All Might wishes is if Young Midoriya and Young Bakugou can work together and acknowledge each other, they can both become who they want to be.
To save and win, to win and save.
All Might says if they are able to do this, they can become the Strongest Heroes.
Deku then exclaims, “Go forward, Midoriya Izuku! Use the power All Might entrusted in you to save people. I will save and win!”
Bakugou then says, “I will win and save! That’s Bakugou Katsukis’ way of life on the path to become the Number One Hero!”
All Might ends the track with the line, “To destroy the word or to save it. One For All’s successor Midoriya Izuku fights head on with All For One’s successor, Shigaraki Tomura.”
TRACK 9: END CREDITS
All Might says he’s come to send us off and thank us for visiting the exhibition! Deku also says thanks for coming. Ochako asks if we had fun? Todoroki says they were able to relive a bunch of different moments at this exhibition. He says he is thankful for it, and Deku agrees. Ochako asks Bakugou how was the exhibition? Bakugou says screw this- they should all go back inside and just focus on everything Bakugou related, forget about the Villains or anyone else. Todoroki says, “Well, if we do that we’ll need to reserve tickets again so…”
Aizawa asks All Might to do the closing message. All Might thanks us again for visiting, but things don’t just end here! The world of My Hero Academia will only keep getting bigger and bigger! Deku hopes that we can always cheer them on.
All Might then leads everyone in saying “GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRA!!!”
Deku says to us, “Let’s meet again soon, everyone!” He then turns to All Might saying, “That’s good right? Oh, oh crap I still need to get in line to buy the limited edition goods only sold at the Exhibition! Wait let me go line up ahhh!” and scurries off.
All Might then laughs and says “as expected of the headstrong Young Midoriya!”

Warnings for this chapter: Genre-typical violence and blood due to action/fight scenes
A/N: I’m so so so so sorry for making everyone wait for so long! Also, don’t worry about a shorter chapter; this is mostly action (which I cannot write for my life, sorry). And, more of the story will take place in ch. 17, which is why I made this shorter. I can’t ever apologize enough for the long wait and then this chapter is just short. So very sorry. College has been hell and I still have yet to finish my other papers. For now, here is the next chapter! Have fun, and don’t hesitate to drop an ask for any questions or comments!
Tumblr media
The meeting room’s door swung open, revealing another individual walking in. Baek and his companion stand up to bow in greeting, while Jung nods his head. Chan and Minho spare a quick glance before turning their attention back to Dr. Baek. The whole group then settles down, Baek pulling out a briefcase that has the newcomer’s eyes glistening with glee.
Meanwhile, as you and Felix watch through his laptop’s screen, you gently nudge his arm, “What did Changbin say?”
“He’s not responding.” Felix says calmly, but his eyes carry the same amount of worry as you, “I’m trying to get HQ to help but...they can’t reach him either.”
You take a deep breath and mutter to yourself, “What are you up to, Minho?”
The younger agent next to you is tapping away on his laptop, doing all sorts of complex, overly technical things to try and get a sense of the situation. After a few seconds, however, his laptop’s speakers crackle with faint static, signalling some semblance of audio.
“Y/n, they’re starting negotiations.” Felix says quietly.
You shift closer to the laptop, both of you now listening intently to what was being said in the meeting room.
Tumblr media
“I am correct in assuming that you will be supplying me with several crates of your...new serum, Dr. Baek?” the newcomer says.
Baek nods his head, “Indeed, Mr. Choi. The ones inside this briefcase are just a taste. My team is on standby at the agreed rendezvous point with the rest of the supplies.”
Choi nods, leaning forward from where he sits, sharp eyes now on Jung and the agents, “I’m surprised the country’s top security organization is part of this scheme.”
Jung chuckles lowly, “No, don’t get mistaken. SKZ is not involved. Just…” the man looks at Chan and Minho, “...a select few.”
“I see.” Choi hums before pulling out his own briefcase.
The man opens it to reveal wads of cash as payment for their trade. He slides the case over to Baek and nods, “More than enough, I would suspect.”
Baek smirks, uncrossing his arms as his eyes land on the bills, “More than enough, Mr. Choi. Of course, you’ll be getting your share, Jung.”
“I’d hate it if I didn’t.” Jung chuckles, his tone much too light for the situation.
Choi stands up, the briefcase with serums now tightly clutched in his hand. “Well, as much as I’d love to stay and chat, business calls. I believe we should adjourn this meeting now, gentlemen.” he adjusts his suit jacket.
Choi then extends his hand to seal the deal with the other two men in the room, shaking hands with both Jung and Baek. He merely nods at Chan and Minho who ignore him. Afterwards, the whole group steps out of the meeting room, walking out as if nothing had happened.
However, a few steps into the empty foyer of this particular area, a gunshot is heard and barely misses Baek’s head by a centimeter. The sudden commotion causes everyone to halt in their steps; Choi looks around anxiously for his bodyguards, Baek yells at his own men to take action, Jung remains calm, and Minho and Chan pull their guns out instantly.
It all then happens in a flash - men from all sides are rushing into the foyer, guns readied as a shoot-out takes place.
Minho and Chan stick back-to-back, covering each other as they aim for their respective targets. Jung joins in, displaying his skill as the head of SKZ by taking out as many enemies as possible; by enemies, these were any men who were shooting at him, whether from Choi or Baek’s side, or even his own men.
Chan and Minho are separated as a large, buff enemy lunges for Minho and tackles him to the ground. As per training, Chan continues to fend off his own enemies, switching to physical combat as a group of three pounces at him with knives.
Minho skillfully blocks and dodges his opponent’s violent punches, but the large man’s power is no joke, and each impact on Minho’s arms will surely land bruises later on. One particular punch sends Minho a few steps back, and the enemy pairs it with a speedy kick that pushes the agent to the floor. The wind is knocked out of his lungs, taking a few seconds to regain his bearings. However, the opponent is towering above him, ready to pummel his head with a flurry of punches. Minho is able to dodge the first blow, maneuvering on the floor to swipe his leg at the opponent’s ankle, effectively tripping him. With his enemy down, Minho stands up as quickly as he can, but so does the enemy. The two continue to fight it out with punches and kicks, one particular punch splitting Minho’s lip; in fairness, Minho’s high kick gives his opponent a bleeding nose in return.
As the battle draws on, the buff man pulls a blade out of his thigh strap and jabs it towards Minho. Though the blade grazes Minho’s cheek, he’s able to dodge and grab the enemy’s wrist, twisting around so that he could grab the knife from him. Now standing behind the enemy with the latter’s arm twisted in his hold, Minho delivers a powerful kick to his opponent’s back, causing the latter to stumble forward. Before he can recover his footing, Minho throws the knife like a dart, piercing the enemy’s back. With the opponent now weakened, Minho rushes forward, pulls the blade out and lodges it in the enemy’s rib area. The buff man falls to the ground as Minho releases a deep breath.
The male agent takes a look at his surroundings; people are shooting and fighting everywhere - it was absolute chaos with Choi’s men fighting against both Baek’s men and SKZ agents, while Baek’s men fought with SKZ and Choi’s party, and SKZ fought with Baek’s and Choi’s teams. Upon further assessment, however, Minho notices that the men and agents on both sides were now either killed off or escaped. It would seem they did not anticipate that there would be such a large number of protective teams, and Jung only brought in a small team for this mission.
Minho’s eyes fall to Chan who had just killed off the last of either Choi or Baek’s men, and Jung who keeps his gun after shooting another bodyguard. The older agent wipes off the blood on his cheek, “Minho and I are the only ones standing?”
Jung nods, “Doesn’t matter, this was part of the plan. This chaotic distraction was enough for Baek and Choi to escape to the rendezvous spot without the other SKZ agents interfering.”
Chan chews on the inside of his cheek as he nods while looking at all the casualties, “That’s one big bloodbath on all teams.”
“Sacrifices have to be made.” Jung says nonchalantly, “Now, we should follow Choi and Baek to the rendezvous point.”
Minho runs his hand through his hair and sighs, “Felix and y/n are still in the hotel.”
“I thought your feelings for her were an act?” Jung asks, but it’s more of a statement than a question, “Are you having second thoughts?”
A quick hint of irritation flickers in Minho’s eyes before he resumes his callous disposition, “No, it’s just that Felix is also monitoring everything so if he doesn’t see any activity or doesn’t have eyes on the mission, he’s going to take matters in his own hands and investigate.”
Jung lightly taps the gun on his hip, “Then let him. You know what to do if he finds out.”
Minho opens his mouth to speak, but he stops himself as soon as he senses hurried footsteps approaching. The agent narrows his eyes, slowly glancing over to the source.
You and Felix arrive at the scene, the freckled agent making sure that you stood behind him as he slowly lowered his gun. His round eyes scan the area, confusion swimming in them. Meanwhile, you ignore everything else as your eyes find Minho’s.
“Minho.”
Tumblr media
- earlier -
As soon as the group of men left the meeting room, Felix closed his laptop shut and stood from the bed. He walked over to the corner of the room where his bag was. “Y/n, sent an encrypted text and says that we should probably head to the hotel’s back lobby right now.” the younger male says, grabbing a small pistol from his bag and slipping it into his belt holster.
You slowly stand up as well, grabbing a jacket, “We promised Minho to stay in here though, Lix.”
The younger bites his lip before nodding, “I know, but these are unprecedented events so we have to improvise every now and then. Besides, these are orders from Changbin.”
“Alright.”
“Oh...and Changbin says the thing Minho gave you might come in handy so...take it with you.”
You open the bedside drawer and grab the pouch that Minho handed to you before he left for the mission hours ago, safely hooking it onto the side of your own belt. Felix then reaches his hand out which you gratefully take before the two of you head out of the room.
The walk to the back lobby of the hotel went by smoothly at first; as you went down two floors, you and Felix were intercepted by four men who seemed to be bodyguards or men for either Baek or Choi. Felix manages to shoot one down before they retaliate, pulling the triggers on their own guns. You and the younger agent seek shelter behind two pillars, closing your eyes so that the cement fragments don’t injure your eyes. A bullet, however, breaks off a part of the pillar and grazes your shoulder, causing you to gasp.
Felix looks at you worriedly, but you assure him with a wave of your hand and a small smile. The younger agent nods, peeking out of the pillar and trying to shoot the remaining three men down. While they’re busy with Felix, you grab a fragment of the pillar that broke off and throw it as hard as you can, hitting the face of one man. This lets Felix shoot him down, leaving two more.
“Wait.” you signal for Felix to stop as the men reload their weapons.
Felix raises his eyebrow, so you continue, “I brought vials of toxic chemicals for...safety purposes.”
The younger agent’s eyes light up, “Ok, when I say go, throw it at them and I’ll shoot!”
You nod your head and Felix gets in position. Seconds later, he says “go”, and you toss the vials towards the two opponents. As promised, Felix shoots the vials, causing the glass to shatter and spill toxic liquid onto their skin. With a yell of pain, Felix shoots them both down. You then approach the men, digging through their pockets for anything of use. Fortunately, one man has three vials of Cle’s serum on him, and you take it.
“Let’s go.” Felix takes your hand again, leading you away.
From that point on, surprisingly, there were no other agents or threats that intercepted you and Felix, allowing both of you to make it to a hallway that led to a spiraling staircase. From there, the two of you heard voices - clearly Minho’s and Jung’s. Felix shoots you a “ready?” kind of expression, so you nod and allow the younger agent to lead the way down the staircase and into the back lobby.
Tumblr media
As soon as Minho’s name leaves your lips, the agent’s cold and apathetic disposition melts in the slightest, and he tries his best to ensure that Jung doesn’t see the concerned flicker in his eyes. The agent takes in the wound on your arm and the cement dust powdering your’s and Felix’s hair.
“Y/n, I told you - ”
“I know what you said, but…” you trail off, eyes scanning the dead bodies around the lobby, and Minho isn’t blind to the confusion and fear on your face. Then, he sees the vials of serum clenched in your hands.
He opens his mouth to say anything to reassure you, but Jung cuts him off with a cold and steely tone. “Stop wasting time. Get the serums from her, Minho. Chan, capture Felix.” the head commands.
Felix aims his gun at Jung who is unfazed. “What’s the meaning of this?” Felix gulps as he turns to Chan.
The older agent gives Felix a stern yet warm look as he approaches, and it’s more than enough to disarm the younger. Chan gently takes his gun and pulls Felix’s wrists behind his back. The soft and warm gaze in his eyes is something Jung fails to see; but for Felix, it’s all he needs to be reassured.
“Felix - ” you try to convince him to fight against Chan, but as soon as Minho stands directly in front of you, you never get to finish your sentence.
“Minho.”
The male agent takes a deep breath before releasing it with his eyes closed. When he opens them again and looks at you, it’s like he’s looking at the most beautiful star in the universe. Your heart clenches a little when you feel his hand gently latching onto the right side of your waist, thumb rubbing small circles where it rests.
“Give it to me, y/n.”
“But Minho - ”
“Do you trust me, y/n?”
A small smile and a warm gaze.
Clear eyes that hold no threat, just love and adoration.
And a silent plea to listen to him - to trust him.
You swallow the lump in your throat and decide to jump, hoping that the fall isn’t your demise.
“I do.”
You hand him the vials of Cle serum, nodding your head. Minho’s fingers brush against yours when he takes the vials, and it takes him every ounce of control to not just grab your hand and run away to who knows where. Paradise, the beaches of Jeju, wherever he can be with you in solace. However, he clears his throat and walks over to where Jung stands, handing the items over, “Sir.”
He hands the vials to the head of SKZ who grins rather calmly in response. He then nods his head towards you, “Finish her.”
“Minho, wait.” Felix says softly, but the older agent ignores him.
Minho walks over to you once more, a genuine yet melancholic look in his eyes. It swims with a hint of hesitation, and you can’t help but reach out to caress his cheek. The agent melts into your touch, leaning his cheek into your hand and pressing a chaste kiss onto your palm.
“Do what you need to do.” you whisper.
Minho frowns, “Do you still trust me?”
“With my life.”
Minho smiles gently, even as you feel his gun brush against the other side of your waist. You close your eyes when he steps closer, lips brushing against your temple as he whispers, “I told you you’d need this later on.”
And he pulls the trigger, a loud bang echoing in the room that had fallen silent.
You drop to the ground, Felix yelling “y/n!” as he watches you lay on the marbled floor, a pool of red spilling from your waist where Minho had aimed his gun. Chan closes his eyes, jaw clenched at the sight before him. Without sparing you a glance, Minho turns on his heel and faces Jung with an inferno raging in his eyes. “Great, now - ”
Jung doesn’t get to finish because in the next split second, Minho pulls the trigger at him, successfully shattering the vials in Jung’s hand. Unfortunately, the head lets go just in time, sparing him from being doused by the deadly serum. A few glass shards do manage to mildly injure his fingers, however, and it’s enough to shock everyone in the room.
“You son of a bitch - ” Jung pulls his gun out, aiming for Minho.
Chan is quick to his senses, shielding Felix and pulling his weapon out as well. With swiftness, the older agent fires two shots at the head of SKZ, allowing Minho enough time to move away from Jung’s line of sight. While Chan is busy engaging with Jung, Minho returns to where you are and gently holds you, lifting you up to stand. The male gives you an apologetic expression when you’ve stood up, “Are you ok?”
You offer a small smile, fiddling with the small plastic pouch that was attached to your waist, “Fake blood? Really?”
Minho lightly chuckles, “I...there’s a lot to explain, but later, ok? I need you to - ”
A bullet grazes past his arm, causing him to wince in pain. “Minho!” you exclaim, holding him gently.
“Y/n, go with Felix and go somewhere safe now.”
“But -  ”
“I’ll see you later, I promise.” Minho urges.
You look at the agent with hesitation, biting your lip. With a soft chuckle, Minho kisses you swiftly, “I still owe you a proper date, don’t you think? I can’t do that if I’m dead, right?”
You smile, nodding your head with determination, “Ok then.”
You give Minho one last concerned look before swiftly turning to leave. Felix leaves Chan as well, grabbing your hand as you both run away from the lobby. Now, only Minho, Chan and Jung are left, having come to a momentary cease-fire; though Chan and Minho have their hands readily positioned at their guns.
“Perhaps it was my mistake in thinking you weren’t in love with the woman.” Jung muses.
Minho furrows his eyebrows, “My feelings for her are irrelevant to this matter. I’m merely fulfilling my duty as an agent of SKZ.”
Jung shakes his head and lifts his gun, “A terrible mistake.”
Just then, more footsteps enter the room, all of the newcomers now aiming their guns at Chan and Minho. The older agent looks at Minho and cheekily smiles, “So much for a nice day in Jeju.”
Minho laughs at Chan, shaking his head while getting his gun ready, “What’s new, Chan?”
A second later, everyone is shooting and a chaotic chorus of gunshots echoes in the hotel lobby; furnitures are broken and wrecked and lights are being shattered. Minho and Chan duck for cover behind a strong wooden desk, leaning their backs against it as they catch their breath. “Enemy count?” Minho asks.
Chan chuckles, “Not counting Jung, I’d say there were around ten or eleven.”
Minho sighs, cocking his gun, “Let’s get this over and done with.”
The older agent laughs before the two of them carefully peek out from where they took cover, skillfully and accurately shooting down one man each. From where they are positioned, the two agents can hear Jung barking out orders as he prepares to escape from the scene. Out of impulse, Minho stands from behind the desk and aims at Jung, “Hold it!”
But before he can pull the trigger, a small explosion sets off from the other entrance to the lobby, knocking out three of their opponents and causing Jung to stop in his tracks. Once the smoke and debris clear out, Changbin stands at the doorway, gun aimed at Jung.
“Sorry I’m late.” Changbin smirks, “Had to make sure everyone in the hotel had vacated safely.”
“Just in time.” Chan grins after shooting down another enemy.
The youngest of the three smiles before his expression turns more serious, “Choi and Baek are on the move though. If we don’t catch up, they’ll escape.”
Chan nods and turns to Minho with determination, “We’ll handle Jung and the rest here. You go after Choi and Baek.”
Minho nods without being told twice. “See you later.” he smirks, getting ready to leave the scene.
“Don’t let him get away!” Jung instructs calmly but loud enough for his men to hear.
The remaining enemies shoot at Minho; while Minho gets grazed by a few shots, he doesn’t let it faze him and continues to run for the exit. He, after all, has full confidence in his teammates. And as the opponents continue to shoot him down, the agent runs in a zig-zag pattern, making full use of the cement pillars that stood in the room to block out the hits. On the last pillar, Minho stomps harder, using the force and momentum to allow him to jump higher and land a sickening knee-hit to the opponent standing close to the exit. As he lands on his feet and the opponent staggers, Minho finishes it with a swing of his leg, knocking his opponent down.
With Chan and Changbin managing to get the attention of the remaining enemies by distracting them with their own shots and even a few taunting side comments, Minho finally exits the area. Angered, Jung tries to go after the agent himself, but one shot from Chan aimed at his feet causes him to stop.
“Didn’t you train us to focus on the enemy before your eyes?” Chan smirks, cocking his gun.
Jung glares darkly, scoffing, “Cocky bastard.”
Changbin bravely engages in hand-to-hand combat with a few of the enemies while Chan faces off with Jung, both men disregarding their guns and opting for close combat - with their fists and knives.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Minho runs towards the initial rendezvous, pumping his legs as fast as he can. As expected, he is intercepted by a few of Choi and Baek’s men, intent on stopping him from making it any further.
One opponent charges at the agent with a knife, slashing violently. Minho easily side-steps to dodge, raising his hands to grab the opponent’s wrist and twisting his arm with a painful crack. The opponent lets go of the knife, and Minho steps on it so no one can take it. The agent then jabs the first opponent’s vital point, knocking him out.
Another man charges at Minho, swinging his arm with brute force. Minho ducks just in time, grabbing the knife he previously stepped on. With insane speed, Minho swipes upwards, the blade cutting through his opponent’s abdomen. As with the other opponent, the agent strikes his vital points.
The third opponent shoots at Minho, but he runs and dodges most of the shots - though one bullet hits his shoulder. Minho pays no heed, gripping the knife and throwing it at the enemy. It lodges into the opponent’s thigh, giving Minho ample time to run up to him and use his palm to smack at his opponent’s gun. The force and momentum causes the gun’s butt to hit the enemy’s face, disorienting him again. Minho takes the opportunity to turn the tables and grab the gun, using it to shoot the enemy down.
Huffing out a deep breath, Minho tucks his enemy’s gun into his belt holster, now armed with two guns. He then resumes running towards the rendezvous point. Fortunately, no other hindrances intercept him, and Minho finds himself in the hotel’s parking lot. However, it would seem like the enemies - and traitors - had taken all the SKZ vehicles. Clicking his tongue, Minho looks around for an alternative.
Thankfully, an individual just dismounts from his motorcycle. Minho quickly approaches him and sternly commands, “I need your bike.”
The man looks surprised, so Minho rolls his eyes and smoothly makes an excuse that he’s a private investigator chasing someone who stole from the hotel. The agent clears his throat, “You’ll get it back today, I promise.”
The man sighs and relents, stepping aside to “lend” Minho his motorcycle. The agent immediately hops on, revving the engine and speeding away.
Minho drives along speedily, the sound of the motor’s engine filling Jeju’s initially peaceful atmosphere. Not too long after, the agent parks the motor somewhere and runs a little more to arrive at the rendezvous point. In a large, open area with two cars, Minho spots Baek and Choi with around four bodyguards. They place the crate at the back of one of the cars, but before they can close the back door, Minho takes his aim.
He pulls the trigger, the first bullet hitting the bodyguard who had just placed the crates in the car. Startled, the remaining three pull out their guns, but true to Minho’s reputation and skill, he swiftly - and precisely - shoots the three men down in just barely three seconds.
Choi and Baek attempt to escape out of panic due to being unarmed, but Minho calmly shoots the two cars’ wheels as he slowly walks closer to them.
“Agent Lee, what are you doing?” Baek shrieks, “This isn’t part of what we agreed or planned!”
Minho shrugs with nonchalance, gun firmly aimed at the two men, “Sorry, but I’m an SKZ agent. This is what I do.”

the brothers + the former undateables finding out buff cat has kittens that are visiting devildom, but unfortunately buff kittens are extremely chaotic little shits, mc + diavolo + barbatos + simeon + satan doesn't believe anyone when they say "I'm convinced they're pure evil and they bite" "no they baby"
buff cat Buff Cat BUFF CAT BUFFCATBUFFCA-
I was really excited to write this. I LOVE Buff Cat. This is just making me grin while thinking of writing it. Aaaaa I mean I couldn’t just not draw it either,, aha? ;)
Tumblr media
This also works for Belphie and Luke, but I think Mammon sees the most of the cats because he likes MC and visits them, but is TERRIFIED. More buff cat memes at the bottom. Also warning very long.
Brothers and New Datables reaction to Buff Cat’s kittens!
Lucifer
As soon as MC left the kittens and him alone, chaos ensued. Within minutes, one of the kittens successful spat out a hairball on him, and another was about to break his desk. The third was on his bookshelf, biting the spine of his books.
He didn’t want to raise his voice at kittens, but he swore they were trying to antagonise him on purpose. Normal kittens do not act like this.
As soon as he caught one coating his paperwork in their saliva, he began to shout. This only backfired, as they truly did plan to beat the shit out of him.
He knew he couldn’t retaliate, or MC would be mad, and so would Diavolo. Also, he’s pretty sure that their dad would beat him up.
The kittens clawed up his shirt, broke his desk, ruined his paperwork, books, pens, and made him bleed. He tried his very best to put them in corners without hurting them, but they acted as though they were high on katnip and are professional murderers.
Needless to say, as soon as MC returned he was breathless and a mess. MC didn’t even notice, and told him thanks for playing with the kittens!! He was about to tell MC to keep their kittens on a leash when MC just said they’re so energetic at this age.
Energetic?? You mean that’s ENERGETIC? Not MURDEROUS INTENT?
Never wants to be near another buff kitten. What on earth happens during their adulthood that changes them from a chaotic shit to this otherworldly entity.
Mammon
Mammon was screeching for hours. Literally screaming they were out for his flesh, and can smell his fear.
They bit his ankles and even with the blood seeping from it, neither you or Satan believed the buff kittens did it.
You both laughed it off as him getting hurt, and went to take care of the kittens.
He swears they’re trying to kill him and sacrifice his very soul.
Also he’s never stealing from Diavolo again after they started staying there, and even began protecting the place.
Leviathan
He was fine with Buff Cat, so why not the kittens? They looked so well behaved like MC, so why not offer to look after them for a little bit, while everyone was at school? He doesn’t go in person so he doesn’t mind.
Ah what a big mistake that was.
These kittens are trying to break into his aquarium; quite literally. They just attempted to headbutt the glass and made running starts repeatedly, hoping it would crack.
As soon as he got them to stop doing that, they began to knaw at his wires, which he had to stop. When he got a headcount, there were only two, so where was the third?
SHIT! HIS RURI CHAN FIGURINES!
The third one was now biting off one of his limited addition Ruri chan’s arms, and Levi was getting pissed. He wasn’t sure what he’d tell MC, but he was ready to kick them out of his room.
He remembered buff cat, his good buddy, and tried to just watch over them a little longer. They were his kids, so he could just do him one favour.
Levi was screaming in regret when all his manga was ripped to shreds. All. Of. It. Nothing was spared, and Levi was ready to kick them out for real.
Until MC and Buff cat came in to take the kittens. Levi was going to scream out his frustrations, but just as he said “your”, a kitten bit his ankle causing him to silently scream and fall to the ground.
Concerned, you both ran up to him and tried to help him up, wondering what happened. One kitten however, walked behind you and put a paw to his neck and sliced. Afterwards, he did the I’m watching you motion.
Scared enough to almost piss his pants, Levi kept his mouth shut on the experience he had today, and probably tommorrow. After all, since it went so well he wouldn’t mind watching them this week while everyone attended classes, right?
Satan
Wherearethebabieswherewherewhere
He was so excited, and constantly babied them. He had all the cat toys, the best cat food, and became a sort of servant for them.
With just a meow or point he’d be off to get them whatever they wanted. Even if they bit his books or stole his clothes, he’d just go aweee!! They’re learning how to use their bodies as they grow.
Originally opposed to Diavolo keeping them, as he wanted them, but the royals was a much better choice for three growing kittens.
Constantly showers them with affection and tries to baby talk them. It sounds kind of creepy.
When his brothers try to bully or blame the kittens for something the kittens obviously did, he lectures and berates them on cat development and why they shouldn’t hurt their feelings.
Asmodeous
Screaming out of fear and anger. Asmo found the three kittens in the mess of his clothes in his room.
They were all ripping and shredding at his clothes, and when they noticed him proceeded to bite and scratch as his hair, attempting to rip it out.
He was screaming like he was being murdered, and running around the room for five minutes. Every time he tried to exit, one would block the door.
Sensing that their MC was coming, the three behaved and snuggled up to him, meowing and purring as if they were content.
When MC entered, they noticed the scene before them and smiled!! How cute!! The kittens were snuggling against Asmo.
Asmo was shrieking and explaining to you what had happened, and your kittens pretended to act asleep.
Upset by him framing them, you gave him an earful that if he ripped up his own clothes on accident, he shouldn’t blame the kittens!
To think Asmo was so irresponsible.
Beelzebub
He figured since Buff cat worked out, and these were his children, who were absolutely buff, they’d work out too right?
Oh yeah. They worked out how to absolutely destroy the entire gym in a matter of minutes.
They aggressively beat up every gym go-er and threw dumbbells everywhere. They wrecked the treadmills and other machines, and bit off the wires for the electrical side.
Within minutes, Beel and the kittens were kicked to the curve, and banned for life. The injured staff and people were taken care of by Lucifer’s credit card. He 100% believed the buff cats did it, but neither you or Satan did.
It was kind of frustrating how you taught demons randomly burst into pain or that possibly Beel did it, but he understood you wanted to protect the kittens.
He understood they were still young and energetic, so they weren’t as peaceful. He’s aware they’re chaotic and will not deny it, but he still takes care of them as occasionally let’s them teeth on his fingers, so they can grow strong, since he knows they’re just playing.
Belphegor
no No NO.
He does not want to be near the buff kittens. He’s barely able to approach Buff Cat, but buff kittens? No way.
These buff kittens terrify him more than buff cat, and that’s saying something. There are three chaotic pieces of shits running around, biting ankles and trying to claw at everything.
He runs to the attic, unless the buff kittens are there. If they are, he runs off into the unknown.
Diavolo
He was the one who approved of them visiting. As soon as he heard buff cat actually had kittens, he wanted to meet them. With Barbatos agreeing, Lucifer lost the battle.
Was so happy to have them. Had Barbatos prepare everything, and even spent a whole lot of money on jewelled collars and adorable outfits!
He let them have the best milk in devildom, and even allowed them to rest in his room during their stay. It was even better because Diavolo was recently asking Satan for cat recommendations, as he felt like having a cat to pet while working would be nice.
This is based off a chat. ^^.
You all, the five, agree that it’d be a fun idea for them to stay in the devildom, and they’d be close to buff cat too, it’s a win win. They could stay with the royals, while HOL has Buff Cat. Simeon couldn’t take any since Luke was terrified.
Diavolo 100% babied them, even more than you. Some say he looks big and a bit scarily buff, but he now posts on his devilgram pictures of him and the kittens, which has actually helped his approachable image.
Cat papi.
Barbatos
He was on board with the idea of meeting new baby buff cats. He does pretty well with kids, and wouldn’t mind seeing the babies of such a sophisticated cat.
He was delightedly when MC handed them to him, and told him they’d be gone for a bit. He properly fed them, changed their clothes, pet them, give them attention, and even told them stories of MC.
The kittens were constantly entertained, and purred in delight every time he approached them. They seemed patient and cute, but according to the other staff they were worse than actual demons.
Apparently they were the ones who broke the stuff in the hallway, and managed to get a password to a secret room and broke everything in it. Luckily for the kittens, Barbatos didn’t believe it.
I mean, how could three kittens that seem desperate for love that just want some warmth act so devilishly?
Happy to report to MC that nothing came up. Even if he did catch them in the act, it wouldn’t matter. He would think they’re just being a little playful or energetic.
Very delighted that they catch mice, and now that they live here he has three strong cats to protect his kitchen and the prince.
Solomon
This is great!! Now he knows that buff cats breed, can he dissect them?
He was attempting to catch one while the three were there, but these chaotic brats would not sit still. They were jumping from couch to shelves, knocking over all sorts of things.
When he finally got them in his room, they began knocking over all his potions and books, and even began to bite back. They hissed and smacked him with their tails, body slammed him, and tried to claw his eyes out.
He figured feeding them would calm them down, but they ended up breaking his plates as soon as they saw him attempt to cook, these kittens have good intuition.
They proceeded to break everything in the kitchen, and when you came in to check on the noise with Simeon, you saw your three little kittens covered in flour, and Solomon with a defeated look.
Solomon tried to explain, but he got lectured for trying to dissect your babies. You even yelled at him for making them so scared that they tried their hardest to escape him, and almost got hurt because of it.
10/10 thinks those things are little shits.
Simeon
He loves them!! He’s probably good with human children, but with buff kittens he’s amazingly good as well!!
The kittens were well behaved and allowed him to pet them, and curled up as he read them stories!!
He gives them their bottles of milk,, he makes sure they’re warm,, and he babies them!! Because they’re baby.
He gave off great dad energy, and even invited Luke or Solomon to play with them. Luke suddenly had to visit the grocery store and Solomon for some reason was nowhere to be found.
Simeon would love to babysit them again, and even asked if they would come over more often! He and Buff Cat will also share stories of the kittens from now on, because they’re so cute.
Luke
No.
He is not going NEAR them. If he’s terrified of buff cat as is, what makes you think he’s not going to be terrified of buff kittens?
The second he sees one of them act mischievously, he’s screaming for Simeon. However, he just watches Simeon laugh it off.
He’s going to stay in his room until those demon spawns disappear.
+ MC
You were so so happy. Buff Cat’s little kittens were visiting you in the devildom, and you were ecstatic.
When you saw the kittens, you cuddled each of them for twenty minutes straight. You peppered them with kisses and gave them tummy rubs.
The brothers watched in shock, and were slightly envious that you were cuddling the kittens.
You got up to stretch, and as soon as you did they ran around and tried to bite everyone in the vicinity, and after you sat back down, they curled up to you like nothing happened.
Luke was in the corner shaking from how he just witnessed a kitten attempt to bite off Asmo’s eyelash.
Everyone except the baby bunch suddenly felt chills up their backs. It was not going to be a good week.
——————-
Here’s some memes! I think it’d be pretty funny and great on the lore if the royals actually took in the buff kittens, and began to care for them. The cats are as chaotic as Diavolo, so Diavolo would probably take fault and say he must of influenced the cuties, who are just replicating what they see like babies do. Luke, Mammon, and Belphie will never visit again. The kittens will also protect the jewels.

Roswell, New Mexico custom Magic: The Gathering cards
For RNM D&D Weekend Warriors, I branched out to another tabletop format and made a handful of custom Magic: The Gathering cards based on the core cast of Roswell, NM. Here’s the break-down of how I chose each character’s color(s) and abilities as well as highlight some of the neat ways they interact. None of the cards have been playtested so there is still room for them to be further developed and balanced. For anyone who isn’t very familiar with Magic: The Gathering, every card fits into various types that can be played for the cost printed in the top right-hand corner. There are 5 colors of Mana- White, Blue, Black, Red, Green- I’ll be using the letters W, U (blue), B (black), R, and G to represent the mana colors in my discussion. Each card can also have different traits and abilities, and a set of numbers that represents how strong its attack and defense are (represented as attack/defense). There’s a lot of amazingly nerdy discussion of Magic Lore that delves into how the Mana colors relate to personality traits and behaviors of the characters on the cards-- more on that here- but just know that I’ll be discussing some of those qualities as I go into why I chose the attributes for each card/character.So here we go!
Tumblr media
Max Evans, Smalltown Hero        2WR Legendary Creature – Human Alien Vigilance, Haste (This creature doesn’t tap to attack and may attack or use tap abilities the turn it enters the battlefield.) T, Sacrifice a nonland permanent: Another target creature gains indestructible until end of turn. Max is a deputy with the sheriff’s department and a natural leader who has kept his powers and identity a secret for years. 3/1
Max is kind hearted and wants to protect his community and friends. On the other hand, he’s impulsive and will make rash decisions without thinking about the consequences of his actions. These two beliefs place him firmly in red/white for Magic colors; a combination that often plays small aggressive creatures and engages in frequent combat. I gave Max vigilance to represent him being a defender as well as an aggressor in a lot of circumstances. His ability to sacrifice something to protect someone else exemplifies his ability to both heal and destroy. Lastly he has haste and a fragile body (1 toughness) making a game with Max play out with an early attack followed by him protecting someone else and only getting in when the coast is clear.
Michael Guerin, Tech Genius      1WU Legendary Creature – Human Alien Artificer When Michael Guerin, Tech Genius enters the battlefield, search your library and/or graveyard for a noncreature artifact or enchantment card and exile it with a research counter on it. If you searched your library this way, shuffle. X, T: Create a token that’s a copy of a card exiled with a research counter. X is that card’s mana value. 2/3
Michael cares about the team differently than Max does. He is often tinkering with things in order to heal or protect others if possible and is a genius when it comes to inventions involving alien technology. His intelligence and need for knowing more fits in blue (alongside a few other science oriented characters). Whereas Max is a straightforward attacker, I chose an ability that is much more complex to understand for Michael. He makes copies of trinkets after taking the time to examine them which lends itself to more combo and control oriented play patterns instead of just blindly turning stuff sideways. I didn’t capture Michael’s temper, but I didn’t want all aliens to be red. Maybe I’ll make another version some time that incorporates different facets of their personalities.
Tumblr media
Isobel Evans, Influencer                UBR Legendary Creature – Human Alien Your opponents play with the top card of their library revealed. 3R, T: Gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn. 6BB, T: You control target player’s next turn. Activate only once. 1/4
Isobel has fewer words than Michael, but oh my is she complex as well. If Max leans toward aggro and Michael is combo, Isobel is the control card of the siblings. Isobel is often guided by her emotions, but channels that into careful thought in how to execute a plan and always looks out for herself and her people. Her abilities represent her powers spread across the three colors: Blue – Reading your opponent’s mind, Red – Controlling someone’s impulses for a short period, Black – Forcing your opponent’s actions, once.
Liz Ortecho, Savvy Scientist          1UB Legendary Creature – Human Rebel Liz Ortecho, Savvy Scientist can’t be blocked as long as defending player controls an artifact. Whenever Liz Ortecho deals combat damage to a player, gain control of target artifact that player controls with mana value less than or equal to the damage dealt. 2/1
Liz is smart, cunning, and will protect her own. Her science background lends itself to Blue, but this card plays up some of her devious nature of stealing hospital equipment, doing illegal research, and general sneaking around, so there’s Black in her mana cost as well. She often draws on the abilities of those around her, which means that her connections make her stronger. Amusingly, she’s unblockable against some of our other characters including her own dad!
Tumblr media
Alex Manes, Tech Specialist            1WUB Whenever you draw a card, target creature you control gains deathtouch (Any amount of damage it deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.), lifelink (Damage dealt by that creature also causes you to gain that much life.), or vigilance (Attacking doesn’t cause it to tap.) until end of turn. Whenever Alex Manes, Tech Specialist deals combat damage to a player, create a clue token. (It’s an artifact with “2, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.”) Kyle: “What’s the worst thing we could find?“ Alex: “Literal skeletons.” 2/3
Alex also sneaks around, but I wanted to play up his investigation skills a little more. Instead of just drawing a card when he does damage, he makes a clue “token”. That clue token represents information (drawing a card) that can be held onto or acted on later. He’s a character who’s able to do plenty of damage in his own right, but his big advantage is being able to help other characters do their jobs and get combat abilities they wouldn’t otherwise have. He protects his friends.
Tumblr media
Maria DeLuca, Entrepreneur       2RG Legendary Creature – Human Alien Haste (This creature may attack and use tap abilities the turn it enters the battlefield.) Each other creature you control enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it. “Maria DeLuca is her own savior.” 3/2
Maria cares about her friends and her business. Her ability helps everyone and represents your other creatures being able to stop in for a drink at the bar. She gets haste to show how hard she works and has aggressive stats so she can get her hands dirty in a fight. Like Michael, I could see another version playing into her psychic powers.
Tumblr media
Dr. Kyle Valenti                 1WW Legendary Creature – Human Lifelink (Damage dealt by that creature also causes you to gain that much life.) When Dr. Kyle Valenti enters the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on each other creature you control. "In a hospital it doesn't matter what someone did before they came through the doors." 2/2
Kyle is a healer and instead of showing that with damage prevention, I chose a simpler buff to the whole team. Now you’re less worried about losing fights!
Rosa Ortecho, Troubled Artist                     1BR Legendary Creature – Human Alien At the beginning of your upkeep, choose one — • Draw a card and lose 2 life. • Exile the top card of your library. Until end of turn, you may play that card. Red is armor. 3/2
Rosa was a fun one to design. She is black red which is a color combo notoriously bad at impulse control. She has aggressive stats and an ability that makes the controller make a hard choice every turn. Do I take the guaranteed draw at the cost of a couple life or do I risk not being able to cast whatever I exile? Among other things, this represents her struggle with addiction-- taking the most directly expedient option comes with some harm to her life totals- but it’s the damage you know. The second option requires you to risk the unknown, but be able to participate in the fight without automatically being harmed-- it requires you to trust your deck and your support network...but be prepared for potential setbacks.
Tumblr media
Arturo Ortecho                 GG Legendary Creature – Human Defender (This creature can’t attack.) Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, create a Food token. (It’s an artifact with “{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.”) G, T, Sacrifice a Food: Target creature gets +2/+2 until end of turn. “I already have my miracle.” 2/4
Arturo cares about his community as do many of our characters, but if there’s any color that cares about bringing everyone in for dinner, it’s green. He delivers food whenever a new creature enters and can use them as buffs instead of just life gain! His kindness and compassion sustain everyone.
Tumblr media
Deputy Jenna Cameron                 1RR Legendary Creature – Human First Strike (This creature deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.) Whenever Jenna blocks or becomes blocked by a creature, she deals 1 damage to that creature. “Who you callin’ a girl?” 2/3
In case you can’t tell, a lot of our characters act on impulse and emotion, which is a Red trait. Cam is tough (A 3/4 is needed to best her in combat!) and efficiently deals with enemies. The faster-than-first strike damage represents her sharp shooting skill. And because of her skills, anyone going up against her is going to feel it right away.
Sergeant Jesse Manes                   2BB Legendary Creature – Human Soldier Menace (This creature must be blocked by two or more creatures.) When Sergeant Jesse Manes enters the battlefield or attacks, exile the top card of each opponent’s library face down. You may cast noncreature cards exiled this way and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast that spell. Jesse's inhumane methods leave only pain in his wake. 3/2
Jesse is a character who has his own twisted view of how his actions will better society. His card here plays up how he tends to believe the ends justify any means-- for him, at least. He steals information and uses it against those he took it from, to represent his involvement in Project Shepherd and the threat he represents not just to the safety and security of the aliens, but to anyone helping them. I chose to exclude creatures in order to make the ability a little more efficient and make it feel more like controlling the chess board and less like mind control (Which a Noah card would someday probably do).
Whew! I hope you enjoyed reading these as much as I enjoyed making them!

1, 11, 13, 27, 33, and 50!!
Thank you!! :D I love getting a chance to talk about these guys! Please don't judge me too hard for the art LOL, I don't spent nearly as much time as I should drawing my OCs 1. Your first OC ever?
I genuinely don't remember which one was my first, but it was either Calamity or Vlad! Both of them went through multiple iterations, but Cal was the main character of the first novel I ever wrote (in middle school! iirc it ended up being 180k words long, holy shit) and Vlad didn't have anything consistent about his design other than "rainbow emo hair and red headphones." Vlad was a little bit of a joke OC that I mostly just drew when I felt like using colors while doodling, and Cal was a blue-haired, blue-eyed alien gal with superpowers
I just spent a million years trying to dig up photos of them for visuals LOL, but here's some art of them by baby emsloe!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”?
Oohhhh man I sat here for ages trying to think of one. Do I have any cheerful sunshiny OCs? I probably do but don't remember???? Everyone I can think of off the top of my head is at least a little angsty, oops
13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs?
Tef! Where she comes from, it’s common for people to name their kids after traits they want the kid to have, and her full given name is Instinctive. She exclusively goes by her nickname bc she’s really resentful about her full name - she tends to be super impulsive and it makes her life harder. She’s contrary as heck! But she’s well-intentioned and she tries so hard and her friends mostly accept that she sometimes shows affection by causing problems
27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song?
Seth was!! I was on the bus, doodling, and listening to this when I came up with him. He's changed a lot since then, and he definitely doesn't fit this song's vibes anymore, and also I still have NO idea what this song is about, but every time I hear it I still think "Ah, the Seth conception song"
Tumblr media
33. Your shyest OC?
Probably Serendipity, from the same world as Seth! Despite being buff and heavily tattooed and generally scary-looking, she's usually more intimidated by people than they are of her. She's also one of the nicest people in this story and if she were a little more outgoing I'd probably have listed her as the "sunshine" character for question 11
I also don't have any good art of her, but here's a sketch I did while trying to figure out what she looked like. I think I'm going to have her be More Buff than this though because why not:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you want
Thinking about and writing this story (with Seth and Tef and Sera, above) has been honestly so nice! This is the first time I've sat down to write a novel outside of nanowrimo since middle school, and it's so nice to have a self-indulgent project to put thought and effort into, ya know? Lots of found family, and people learning to heal and trust again. I'm just writing the kind of story that I want to read and so far it's been really fun! I've been trying to avoid yelling at people about it because the setting and backstories are a little hard to describe concisely though LOL

I feel like talking about how useful each party member's been so far in the underwear run.
Dunban is the hero of the run. I finally unlocked Dunban's 30% nude agility buff, which is the basis for the Naked Dunban Strategy. Thanks to skill sharing, everyone can have this ability equipped. But even before getting that, the average enemy already pretty much only hit him with ether attacks. His biggest issue is that he can struggle to maintain aggro, especially with hordes of enemies. When he's dodging 12 attacks at once, he can get locked in the dodge animation, which stops him from attacking or using arts. I also like how he has an attack where it just looks like he farts on everyone and it dazes them.
I also am realizing now that Reyn might be usable as a glass canon? He definitely can't face tank while naked and he has the lowest agility out of anyone present. He was surprisingly usable at the beginning but I don't see how a low agility face tank will be helpful in an underwear only run. The biggest problem with glass canon Reyn is that his attacks are largely AoE or specifically draw aggro.
Sharla's also suddenly useful because shield bullet is the party's only really useful non-agility defensive tool and it's not possible to equip status resisting gems into weapon slots, so stuff like Daze, Topple, and Sleep are extremely dangerous to the party. Her being able to attack from a distance is also good against enemies with AoE effects since some of those attacks just one-shot everyone. Healing Blast is also really good because the 1% of time Dunban does get hit, he gets hit hard. Sharla's just a very good defensive support. That's not great in the base game when Light Heal, Healing Gift + Summon Aqua, or Healing Breath are usually good enough to cover for the party, but it's decent in a run where defense doesn't exist. Shulk/Dunban/Riki is still a powerful team comp.
I like to use Shulk primarily as a support. Early game is a good time to lean on Monado Speed. Underwear run or no, don't hesitate about using the Monado Arts, Shulk's talent gauge fills really fast and the Monado Arts provide really useful buffs. Once I have access to Monado Armor and Shulk's 5 skill branch, he'll only get more OP as a support. Since armor is like Shield Bullet but for everyone but it recharges faster because of Shulk's fast Talent Gauge and his 5th Skill branch causes visions to fully fill the Talent Guage, if you're fighting while constantly on the brink of death, Shulk absolutely has the ability to trivialize the fight because you can now spam Monado Arts (in fact, this is what happened when I first fought the superbosses, Shulk was very OP). A lot of his Arts also debuff enemies, which is nice. Because a lot of his attacks are also positional, leading as Shulk makes it very easy to fill the party gauge, which is good for chain attacks.
I'm not great with Melia casually. But she is decent. Her being able to further buff stats like strength and agility and debuff enemies is good. One thing to note is that her buffs are percentage based, so Earth and Ice aren't going to be very useful for buffing defense and ether defense since those stats are going to be small. I also felt like agility wasn't a huge deal since the only threshold that matters is "dodges everything" and "doesn't dodge everything." Still, a 10% agility buff isn't bad and inflicting agility down on targets isn't bad either. I haven't gotten starlight kick or reflect yet, but I imagine both of those will be useful. It might be a good idea to give her HP up or something because otherwise everything one-shots her.
Riki is great for area control. He has an AoE sleep attack. Underwear run struggles with encounters with a lot of enemies, so Bedtime is extremely useful. Riki also has a healing art which is always helpful. He's also the closest thing to a face tank this run will ever get because of his high HP. The fact that he uses ether attacks with DoT effects is also great.
I'm currently at Valak Mountain, so I haven't gotten the seventh party member yet. Anyways, if you want to do a challenge run of Xenoblade, definitely try out underwear run. It's been a lot of fun so far.

What would you rather be doing?  I stumbled upon a Facebook post of this newly-opened store in Greenhills that exclusively sells photocards and I wanna head the fuck over there rn with Angela. That store concept is practically unheard of so it’s a big deal and I wanna go there as I’m 100% sure the BTS ones would sell out pretty fast.

Do you live in the country?  Nopes.
What is your favorite accent?  I don’t have one.

What do you plan to do on your 21st birthday?  My 21st birthday started out terribly because Gabie’s family didn’t want her to hang out with me on a Sunday (the day my birthday fell on), so we were in an argument the whole day. Angela saved the day when she planned out an impromptu dinner + arcade date for me, and that was the only good part of the day, really. I’d rather forget the rest of it.
Do you have any person in your family with an addiction to beer?  I don’t think so.
Do you take a lot of pictures?  I’m starting to, now.
What kind of face wash do you use?  Good ol’ water.
Does drama always seem to follow you?  Not these days.
Does anybody in your family race?  Nope.
Are you closer to your mom or dad?  Dad, I guess. But I wouldn’t particularly call myself ‘close’ with either.
How much money did you used to get from the ”tooth fairy?”  I never received money from them.
How long do you want to live with your parents?  Maybe up until my mid-20s? Late-20s at the latest. I’m not exactly in the position to move out yet. The money I make at the moment would probably just be enough to cover rent, and just rent. I’d end up starving to death hahaha.
Do you have a laptop or desktop?  Laptop.
Do you like your parents?  Sure.
Do you secretly like someone?  I don’t.
Would you ever date your best male friend?  No. I also wouldn’t do that to Angela.

Do you want to be single?  Yes.
Did you go out or stay in last night?  I stayed in and was knocked out pretty early since I had been up since 1 AM.
Have you pretended to like someone?  No. I don’t see why I would have to that.
How is your heart lately?  Just filled with nothing but Bangtan at this point haha. It’s doing well!
Are you wearing socks?  No. Socks bother me for the most part; they make my feet feel a bit suffocated.
What do people call you?  Robyn.
Do you get stressed out easily?  Yeah, I’m quite the overthinker.
Have you ever been taken to the emergency room in an ambulance?  No, I’ve never actually been inside an ambulance, whether it came for me or for another person.
What is wrong with you right now?  I should probably cut back on the vaping, for one.
Do you own something from Hot Topic?  No.
Would you rather sleep with someone else or alone?  It’s hard for me to sleep with someone else. Even when I had been in a relationship, I usually only got to fall asleep an hour or so after my partner already dozed off.
Do you still talk to the person you last made out with?  No, I cut ties at the start of the year and have been substantially better since then.
Have you ever seen your best friend cry?  I honestly don’t think so. I’m the bigger crybaby between us.
Did you get any compliments today?  My mom thanked me for covering for Cooper’s shots today since they ended up being quite costly.
Have you ever gone to a beach?  Yes, it’s one of my absolute favorite places to be.
What would you say if someone asked you to get high right now?  Pass up on the offer.
Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?  Yes.
Have you ever done volunteer work just because you wanted to?  I’ve never had the ample time to, so no. I’ve always wanted to volunteer at an animal shelter, though.
Do you have long nails?  They’re not dramatically long, but they have started to grow out.
Do you like the gender you are? I don't like or dislike it, honestly. I'm just neutral. < Same.
Do you generally look nice in photos?  I think this is the case these days, yeah. I’ve started feeling more confident and I think it’s able to translate in photos.
Have you ever had a stick insect as a pet?  No.
What colour are your father’s eyes?  Dark brown.
If I handed you a concert ticket right now, who would you want to be the performer?  BTS DUH
Name three facts about your family?  I come from a family of lawyers; many of us are big history buffs; and many are also fantastic cooks so I don’t know where that talent could have possibly gone when it come to my generation hah.
Would you ever get into a long distance relationship?  If I’ve reached a certain level of investment in the relationship, I could probably handle it. 
What’s the most thoughtful present you’ve ever received?  A Punk shirt and Petals For Armor physical CD from Andi this last Christmas.
What’s your favorite hot beverage? Hot chocolate. < Yessssss!
Did you ever play an instrument? If so what?  I don’t.
Would you rather carve pumpkins or wrap presents?  Carving pumpkins sounds fun, especially since I haven’t tried it before.
Do you think you’re important?  Idk. I don’t really like drawing attention to myself though, so that could probably answer your question.
What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?  Andi wrote a letter for me to accompany the aforementioned Christmas gifts they gave, and it remains to be my favorite letter I’ve received. They essentially reminded and affirmed me that I’m stronger than I think I am, and that I’ve been through a lot and have grown a lot, and that that growth is seen by people around me.
Have you been diagnosed with any mental disorders?  No.
Have you ever moved to another state or country? If so, how did it feel to be new?  Just to different cities, but considering how tiny my country is, the move is quite insignificant lol.
Do you know how to properly eat food with chopsticks?  I’m 100% sure I don’t know how to properly hold chopsticks, but I have my own way and it works lol. Fake it til you make it.
Are you more of a leader or a follower? Definitely a follower, but I can step up in certain situations. < Same. I don’t mind leading, especially considering the control freak I can be lolol.
What was the first thing you ate today?  I haven’t eaten anything today. I skipped breakfast since I brought Cooper to the vet, and by the time I got back the dining table had already been cleared. It’s fine though, I don’t feel too hungry.
If you could spend the day, doing absolutely anything, with anyone, anywhere, what would it be like?  I’d be with Angela, Reena, and Hans at that insane new photocard store I talked about earlier. IDEALLY, we’d probably pick up a photocard or two if the ones we want aren’t sold out yet (lol a rarity), then we’d have some nachos and stuff right after and just talk about all things Bangtan lol with Hans cracking us up the whole time since he is just naturally hilarious.
If I were to ask you how you are doing, and you were only able to answer completely honestly, what would come out?  Content. Happy. I feel warm and loved and surrounded by the best people.
What is the one thing that you have been avoiding that you should do?  Learning how to cook is one.
Is there anything that you wish you could take back?  Not really.
What, in your mind, could make you truly happy?  Being in the purple ocean with my best friends.
If you could change one conversation in your life, what would you say differently? Would it have REALLY made any difference?  A part of me wishes my final face-to-face conversation with Gabie had been a more solid closure, just so we could finally put a hard stop to that chapter. But at that time I thought we would continue talking, so there had still been some stuff lingering in the air when we called it a day and parted ways. So in a sense we never really got closure when I finally cut ties, which the ESTJ in me remains to be nagged by, but I try not to be bothered by it anymore considering how much better I am doing right now. We didn’t know the future at the time, so it’s okay the way things turned out, ultimately.
When is the next time you’ll change your hairstyle? Will you color it?  I have no clue. It’s not really a priority.
Do people normally say you’re a fast typist, or are you rather slow?  I’m fast.
Have you ever been considered the ‘smartest person in school?’  Nah.
How many drugs are in your system?  Just caffeine.
What’s on your schedule for tomorrow? Werkwerkwerkwerk.
Do you currently have any bite marks/hickeys on your body?  Nopes.
Do you call anyone baby?  I don’t.
What’s your current mood?  I’m prety neutral. I wish I could be out right now, but stupid Covid and stupid quarantine. But I don’t really mind staying at home, either, so. I’m just so-so.
Do you think you are a good person?  I hope so.
What were you doing before filling out this survey?  I watched Sunday mass with my family.
How late did you stay up last night?  Around midnight.
When was the last time you cried really hard?  I cried just a few days ago because period hormones, but the last time I cried hard? I’m not sure. April maybe?
Is your hair longer than your shoulders?  LOL yes it’s soooooooo long already.

Moon Taeil
Taeil is studying a Chemisty Masters. He completed the undergrad and met a girl. The year below and didn't want to do long distance. So he signed up for a master's course so they could stay in the same area. And he has to admit it was definitely a good choice. Not only is he not having to worry about getting a job, loosing his missus to someone else or having to part from his mainly younger best friends.
He considers himself old now and therefore, isn't involved in any of the society's or sports clubs. He also can't be bothered, not between labs and reports he's got to write. He can barely make time to play fortnite yet alone serious sports. But he will sneak into any of the parties being hosted by the societies his friends are a part of. Will bring his own bottle of Gin and never take it home but its all about the atmosphere. And hanging out with his friends.
In class, Taeil works with the same lab partner for everything. He hasn't changed since September and has no intent to. He's not big on making more friends than necessary and he's got this tight bond with his current partner and therefore, doesn't bother looking for anyone else if they have to do group work. He's studious and his reports are always written well. There's also a little smiling moon placed in the top corner of any one he has to print out. It's completely against the guideline published but its so cute he gets away with it each time. Plus he's also a major teacher's pet and will stay late to help clean the lab after a session.
On a night out Taeil is plastered. He's drunk out of his mind but it's the way he likes to be. He's buying everyone drinks. His bank accounts hurts at the end of the night but he only sees it as a good night. He has no interest in pulling or trying to flirt with anyone he's a committed man. But he will attempt to help his other friends settle down. Therefore, he's everyone's wingman. A shit one but its the effort that counts. If he's lost he's by the bar ordering shots for someone he thinks is sobering up too fast.
John Suh / Johnny
What would the great Johnny Suh study at university. Well its nothing you expect it to be. He's studying building surveying. Yeah you heard that right. And he's so proud of it. The looks he gets when people ask him what he does and that's his answer. This big tall buff guy who kinda screams like he's studying something sporty. He's all about buildings. Wont even try to say he's doing archetecture. Rather he'll just bring out a folder of photos on his phone which are just him in his High Vis Jacket in a multitude of poses.
Johnny is the captain of the Rugby team, that's how he met and then adopted Jeno. He can be seen only on Wednesday at the student night wearing his rugby uniform, the university mascot drawn on his face and a bottle of beer in his hand. He starts the sing along of the rugby boys as they walk through campus. You'll know the one, where they talk or chant about their appendages. He cheers the loudest when one of the newer players join in
In class Johnny is that one guy that everyone loves. He's fun he's entertaining and he's just so nice. He's always there to help his other peeps when they're struggling responding to the questions in the course group chat on Facebook. He send's merry Christmas and happy holidays messages without fail. The cutest little messages and stuff and if you didn't expect this great six foot something guy behind the screen you'd be correct. He's so nice and polite and seemingly hard working that he can get away with anything. You wouldn't notice that he does fuck all in a group project. He's just so present you think he's contributed loads. Until you notice the only writing he has on the entire worksheet is his name.
Johnny is the ultimate party planner. He's always responsible for organising the house party or pre's and he gets absolutely everyone around. He know's Jeno and next thing you know the rest of the younger guys are round his house and Johnny's suddenly got like 7 20 something year old sons. He's bringing all the snacks and an endless supply of Magners. Anyone wants a drink, help yourself. On a night out he's the first to break off from the group. He's straight to the smoking area to light up his juul. He spends a little too long there cause he's too busy flirting but he leaves with their insta and then goes to try and bully Mark onto the dance floor. But when Mark protests and he's told to leave Taeyong's son alone, his best partner is crime Jaehyun is right by his side to go thot drop to the 90s club hits playing on the floor.
Lee Taeyong
Taeyong is another masters student. His first degree was in illustration and he hated it. Completely put him off art. He never wanted to draw for a living ever again. Never again. But he didn't know what to do with his degree. That was until he went to a careers event and there was an art therapist present, and he knew this was his calling. Or perhaps he was desperate and the way the man talked seemed to draw him in. Therefore, his masters is art therapy.
Taeyong used to be the president of the music society, and he could have stayed on another year when he started his masters. But he decided to take a step back and instead focus on his studies. Or at least pretend to. Now he just focuses on not killing his housemates and wondering why he stayed in a student house for another year. Not when he could have afforded a studio apartment.
Taeyong feels a new life for art by doing his masters course. He's slowly falling back in love with the thing his first degree ruined for him. And the therapy side is so interesting and new to him that he's constantly amazed. To the point where he goes and actually does the further reading. He might be the only one in the class to do so but that doesn't stop him. The lecturers love him because of his genuine interest in the subject and he always gets the opportunity for anything cool they put on. His interest though can be a little dangerous as he's constantly testing his new techniques out on his roommates and if he has to see one more dick drawn by Yuta one of them will not be attending lectures the next day.
Taeyong contrary to popular belief is not the mom friend on a night out. He is the next morning. But on the night out he's wild. A lightweight who sticks to drinking wine only, he likes to belief he's the light and life of the party. He isn't really but he is the one on the tables at the club throwing the best dance moves. Every time he hits the dance floor its like he starts a performance and you can't take your eyes away. Somehow he's still in control of his movement. It's a miracle but he does it somehow. And the next morning he refuses to admit he was once again performing at the club like he was on a stage in front of millions as he's forcing bread down the throats of every single housemate.
Nakamoto Yuta
Yuta doesn't seem to be a big reader when you look at him. You'd never think he'd spend most of his university time bent over a book reading it to be able to write the report about it. Probably because he doesn't but he's an English Literature student nevertheless.
Yuta belongs to the football, soccer, club and is the captain. He takes great pride in his team but will not hesitate to do a fun meaningless game often. In fact he was the one who suggested to Johnny that the football and the rugby team should play eachother at tennis of all sports to see who was the superior. Before a big match Yuta attempts to organise more practice, but its never okayed by the coach. He still goes to the pitch to wait and is disappointed every time when nobody turns up to his unofficial training session.
Yuta loves his English literature class. Mainly because they do deep dives into the book and he secretly does love reading he just doesn't like being told what books to read. He's passionate about Brontè and can tell you almost anything about the twilight universe. But he absolutely refuses to read the books for the assignments. Rather he'll scroll his way through a couple summaries, a wikipedia page and one of those websites that publish old essays instead. His grades are high and he's yet to be caught not having read really any of the books they've worked on. Rather he just flings around the terminology and hopes its actually being used. Yuta attends every lecture, not because he wants to learn. Rather because he loves going in to his class and talking to the rest of the students on his course. He's a part of a mainly female friendship group and he's not hesitant to tell them when they deserve better than the guy that's stringing them on. He's always there to remind them how they truly deserve to be treated and point out the red flags when the girls try to justify staying with them. He wouldn't ever date any of them, and he's sure many of them think he swings for the other team only. But like he's not going to protest. Unless they're being mistreated by their partners and they need to wake up. He also makes a small fortune selling his old notes to students in the year below, Jaemin has set up a monthly subscription pay to ensure he gets all the notes he can't be bothered to take.
At a party Yuta can be found drinking some sort of liquor and chatting to Doyoung in the corner. The pair are laughing like school girls and having the times of their lives. If you ever approach expect to be disgusted and possibly confused considering how much of a strong feminist he is. The pair can be found having the most controversial conversations possible. Yuta just wants to argue though and Doyoung presents a very good opportunity. When asked later he will never deny what you heard nor excuse his words, only gives a meek smile and then disappears. He's found in the grimiest bathroom normally and he's not alone. Let's leave that one up to the imagination. But he's the self proclaimed king of one night stands.
Kim Dongyoung / Doyoung
Doyoung was confused at first over what subject to take. He was torn between law and criminology. To the point where he had applied and had offers for both courses some of which being at the same university. However, when it came to results days he ended up on the criminology course. He's not pressed though.
Doyoung is not involved in any societies or sports. However, he is pretty involved in another aspect of the university community. He's very frequently involved in the university confessions page on Facebook. He's actually one of the admins. And he loves to approve and post the more controversial confessions. Especially the ones which are most likely to cause massive arguments between courses. He'll accept the confession post it and then just sit back and watch the chaos. He's Admin C.
Class wise Doyoung loves the argumentative side of the subject. Why wouldn't he be involved in the discussions and debates. It's his favourite part and he's always team captain. But when it's normal classwork he's just as involved. In his opinion if he's paying all this money for the course he's going to get as much out of it as possible. He'll do the snazzy presentation for your group project with the transitions background noises and memes. You get high scores because of this presentation. He's top of the class and has no intent of letting that position go to someone else.
On a night out he can be seen purposefully trying to stir the pot. He's a shit starter and proud and its even worse when drunk. You think someone is looking at you funny, he'll say they are and then go with you to confront them. He'll talk about something controversial and try to play devils advocate just to watch your reaction. He is also the one to have the evidence of what happened on his snapchat the next morning. A useful ally to have if you want those pictures deleted.
Jung Yoonoh/ Jaehyun
Big, tall, kinda scary looking Jaehyun is studying education. He's always wanted to be a dad, but his parents warned him of the problems of being a teenaged dad. And then again at having kids really young before you have the money needed to support them. So he had to suck up the desire to be a father until he found an happy alternative. Enter Jaehyun studying to be an Early years, ages 4-8, teacher. He can be the school father to these children and then hand them back to their parents in the afternoon.
Jaehyun used to be part of the football team until he realised he couldn't be bothered. He then tried to dabble in some of the societies but he couldn't find one he enjoyed. Rather he settled in becoming one of the campus crushes. Running a successful instagram account and taking a part in the social media take-over event the student union hosted.
Jaehyun loves his course only when he's out working on placement within the school setting. He hates the class work. But when he's in class that's where he shines, well most of the time. He loves the kids, and they love him. The bond he builds is so strong and it normally works very well in his favour the class listening to what he wants them to do and everything generally seems to go well for him. He's also a hit with the female teachers who are supervising him. To the point where he can get away with nearly anything. He'll never forget the one time he turned up after a heavy night out, hanging out of his boots, to the point he was throwing up in the students toilet and he's charm and good looks meant the female teacher he was working with let him off the hook. He swore never to drink again before going to work but he totally owed it to her for not reporting him to the university for being completely out of sorts to the point where he just put on a film all afternoon and snoozed on the desk.
When he's not got work the next morning Jaehyun is down for the longest night out he can muster. He will drag everyone to the one club that closes at 6am. By the end of the night there's only a few strong solider's left, namely Johnny, Yuta Jungwoo and himself, but he'd never stop. His wallet hurts after paying all the entry fees but it was completely worth it. His favourite student night is the naughties night that is hosted every term, he's screaming along to Beyonce and Fall out boy all night along. He's hit hard by the hangover the next morning but his cuddle buddy Taeyong is more than used to it by now and the pair sit watching reruns of Judge Judy and feeling sorry for themselves.
Dong Sicheng/ WinWin
Included in WayV link pending
Kim Jungwoo
Jungwoo might arguably be the smartest of the bunch and he won't let you forget when he's proudly stating he studies Engineering. He deserves to as well cause the course is hard. He's a mathematical genius and he's dream is to go on to study robotics afterwards.
Jungwoo is a proud member of the Harry Potter society. Well kinda, his housemates all know he's a part of the society and he's very active talking about it to them all. But he won't actively tell people he's apart of it outside his close friends. It's mainly because he's embarrassed that he's one of the younger members normally heavily surrounded by middle aged women. But he wouldn't leave, he's too deep in the fan fiction they're collectively writing. #JusticeforWolfStar.
Jungwoo is relatively quiet in class choosing to stick with his selected course mate group. He doesn't tend to speak to anyone outside his tutor group and instead focuses more on just trying to pass each assignment sent his way. He does try his hardest to stay on top of the work assigned for him, and tries to put his effort in. But as he gets closer and closer to the end of the course he cannot find it in himself to put as much effort in as he did in his second year, he was pissed or high for most of his first year to say he was putting his uttermost effort in. He is however, well known for bringing the best weed brownies to the tutor group parties. It's a secret recipe he refuses to tell anyone how he does it.
If you've lost Jungwoo on a night out he's 1000% in the smoking area. If he's not lit up he's sat there chatting people up left right and centre. It's his favourite socialisation point and he states he can always find the most interesting people in the smoking area. And normally get a couple of free cigarettes out of it. He's the first to ask if you've got a lighter he can use. He's a big fan of hitting the gay club at about 3am because their drinks are normally cheaper and it stays open the latest. Also because there's a chance he'll bump into a drag queen.

Osaki Shotaro
Shotaro is another student studying theatre studies. At first he wanted to just study Dance but then decided he liked the idea of studying more of the entire theatre style. So he randomly applied for one theatre studies course. He was accepted and didn't look back.
Therefore, as part of the group studying theatre he has to take part in the productions the university put on. Well it's not a exact demand for the course but it's heavily implied. And Shotaro doesn't mind, especially when he successfully lands the role of Dance captain every single time. It's his favourite thing to go up to the cast announcement list and see his name next to dance captain. He also loves attending all the costume fittings ensuring to arrive as early as possible and drag it out for a little while longer. It's most likely because he's got a crush on one of the students working on the costumes, but he's way too shy to actually ask them out.
Shotaro can normally be found staying late in some of the practice rooms. Despite his dancing skills, being part of the theatre course means he has to be involved in the other sides and his confidence is lacking. Therefore, he is working his hardest until he feels like he's on par with some of the other students. He mainly gets help from Haechan who's taken a liking to the other boy and the pairs mutual love for Justin Bieber solidified their friendship.
Another lightweight, Shotaro is cautious of how much he has to drink at any point of the night. He likes to still be in control and therefore has never been black out drunk. But he has tried a little bit of everything. Plus Yuta has practically adopted him on nights out and therefore, if Shotaro is tempted for a drink he'll get one but never has to pay for it. And no Yuta doesn't pay for it either but they do con some unsuspecting person into paying for them both.
Jung Sungchan
Sungchan was another confused at first on which subject he wanted to study at university. He was torn between just Media and then the more specific Film Studies. Though after one very intense talk from a Film studies tutor at sixth form he did chose Film studies.
He's also involved in the school productions, he has the responsibility of filming the performances, well at least one or two of them, so that they can upload them to the theatre society's YouTube channel. He is also in charge of organising the lightening of the show when he's not working the camera. When he has to focus on the recording he just ends up praying the lightening works as he leaves it partially under the control of Jisung and knows if he dares has a go at the societies baby he's dead.
Sungchan is that one member of the class who seems to always have the best editing software on his laptop and the most intense amount of knowledge regarding it. When anyone asks he only states it because he didn't want to look like an idiot on his first couple days. The truth is that he runs a rather successful YouTube channel where he makes edits and crack videos. Sony after effects is his best friend.
On a night out Sungchan lets loose. He absolutely loves the feeling of alcohol in his system. He becomes clumsy and for his size it can cause many problems but he wouldn't have it any other way. He tends to have to be guided through a dance floor by someone else to avoid bumping into people and spilling his over priced double vodka and coke. He's desperate to head for food at about 2am and rushes to follow someone the instant they mention being hungry.

terrible sketches, but i needed to do them, because it’s thursday and i am STILL thinking about monday’s session, because it was so good
i talk too much under a cut
this was the first real session after we leveled up to level 2, and got slashing weapons (because punching zombies doesn’t work). the town has zombies spawning in eth graveyard on eth regular, and we also accepted a task to figure out what spooky thing was trying to steal a child at night (sounded like a la llorna type deal). DM was just gonna skip over the graveyard, saying we did it easily, but we were all “awww but we wanted to fight zombies with our new weapons’, so we got our graveyard fight. and it was awesome! Kirrah went charging in, drawing what seemed like half the zombies to her (thank you combat reflexes), and then strategically stepping back after every flurry attack with her new kama to make sure they’d follow her and trigger for attacks of opportunity. that’s her pit fighting training, well executed. then we went to stake out the kid’s house. identified the entity as a ghast, and then it was attack time. our ranged people (archer and spellcaster) were in the house, but the spirit blade and Kirrah went rushing to attack. the spirit blade failed a save and got charmed into believing the ghast was his dead mother; Kirrah buffed her defenses and succeeded eth save and i OOC made the comment ‘i don’t have any happy family for it to pretend to be”. she then punched it so many times, each round fervor swift casting buffs to hit the thing harder. it ended up realizing it was loosing, and grew in size. Kirrah just shifted herself tactically t get flanking, and Nat 20ed a hit; the DM described how a spectral eastern dragon almost seemed to be encircling her fist as it connected (because her unknown god is just that) so it was a cool visual. then she hit the final blow, and Kano heart ripped the thing’s out, causing it to shrink. now that’s cool sure (yay i’m not useless anymore), but it’s what happened next that i LOVED Kirrah is standing there, still hyped up on adrenaline and magic buffs, coiled, tense and ready to keep fighting things to the death, wild eyed, panting. the spirit blade comes up to her, tries to touch her to thank her for helping in the fight since he was charmed and all; she flinches back, finally realizing where she’s at. she drops the heart, less tense, but still wound up. he reaches again, gives his thanks, and she just quietly pants “i...kirr (kill)”. now i’m not sure if the spirit blade fully picked up on any of that, since his next move was to drag the ghast’s body to the house to show the dad. meanwhile, Kirrah goes and sits against the corner of the house, her head in her hands, trying to calm down. the archer (yes it’s another Dixon), whom she’d been kinda warming up to, did realize something was wrong with her, and went and sat next to her; didn’t touch her, didn’t say anything, but just sat there for her.
it was so perfect. after the fact, the dM told me that if Kirrah had failed eth charm, the ghast would’ve become Dixon. and i was all “oh that makes sense, since he’s her friend, and she cares about him. especially since she’s been deferring to the spirit blade as a superior-a master-because he’s an aasimar and thus celestial”. but also...the more i thought about it, i have to admit; even if the ghast had become Dixon, Kirrah still would’ve attacked it. i can imagine that the cult’s training involved pitching these kids against one another, and if you didn’t fight your hardest to win, to beat the other child to near death, then both kids would be punished. if you throw the fight, no one wins. so even though she doesn’t want to hurt anyone she cares about, it’s ingrained that if she doesn’t, they’ll be hurt anyways and it will be her fault all the same. and eh fact that she reacted this was with the ghast and not the zombies; the ghast left a body, the zombies poofed because they were conjured. this time she had to face, had the proof, of what she does, what she is.
she is killer
i just...uhg! Kirrah, i love you sooooooo much more than i thought i would. i realized after like session 2 that she might not seem that god since she’s very non-verbal, and playing online you miss the visual cues. but this session, these fights, just, uhg!
also the fact that the way she says kill, being “kirr” sounds so close to “cure”, just bounces back to my goal of her learning that she can heal just as much as hurt with her hands. 
i just love character depth ^^ also...monks are fun, i’ve never really gotten to play one before (one could argue i’m still not because sacred fist, but everyone else forgets that fact too)
