Fix-it Leo: Katie / KG
welcome to something im tenatively calling “fix-it leo”, where i take my really old OCs and try to make sense of them! i’ve previously done this with Shadowy, which you can read here. seeing as im redrawing & “bringing back” a few other old ocs i figured id make this a series of talking about things! unlike the Shadowy one this doesnt have pictures beyond the initial ref bc i dont want to murder my hand and im also not sure how to draw some of this
today’s subject: Katie! also known as KG.
Tumblr media
KG’s from 2010-ish, so some time after Shadowy but before the Shattered Worlds rework. to be as specific as possible, he’s from a RP setting that people that have known me closely have at least heard mentioned, if not seen snippets of it outright: KL, the massive crossover including any character and setting me & my friends wanted to RP.
as a self-insert character in crossover hell, Katie is VERY weird.
it was really hard for me to find info on Katie, because i actually had a bunch of OCs using that name that were my direct self-inserts for RP & story purposes both in and outside of KL. the unifying idea was that he was kinda just Me but in a fictional universe... and, apparently according to what info i DID find, all of the various Katies were. actually the same person, just in various conflicting situations with various conflicting backstories? so me stitching it all together got kinda weird. i did find a starting point though, so, uh... here we go!
as a general overview, Katie is pretty much just me. autistic, ADHD, likes videogames and art, bad social anxiety conflicting with desperately needing validation from everyone around him. he also has a very short temper and no volume control, which was usually a comedy thing but could also lead to him lashing out and doing/saying things he regrets, mostly hurting his friends. as a result he was kinda unpopular in his hometown... except for a small handful of friends he went to school with.
one night, he decides to go camp out with his friends to watch a meteor shower cause hes pretty fascinated by comets & shit like that. one of his friends, Elson, was acting pretty weird about it but Katie’s too excited to take much note of it up until the meteor shower “starts early” and Elson runs off into the woods. confused and startled, he gives chase. then, uh, the fucking apocalypse happens.
a lot of plot happens that im skipping over bc this is gonna be long enough as it is, but it gets revealed that Elson is actually an incognito alien named Elohim and an alien invasion is happening and wiping out civilization, and Katie is just. running out of sanity. being a main character SUCKS. he has a tragic backstory now, his friend (who he kind of had a crush on?) is an alien and is partially responsible for his tragic backstory, they join a rebellion after confirming “yeah your family’s dead as hell” and go to space, and finally find out that the leader of the aliens got a case of “jewelry makes you evil”.
they save the day obvs, with the help of some other people they ran into, and Katie has a moment of “well, fuck” bc his hometown is still extremely exploded and his family is still extremely dead and he’s like .5 miliseconds away from a mental breakdown. he then has a conversation that goes roughly like this:
person that helped them bust out of alien jail: hey, i think i know someplace you can stay katie: my house exploded person: cmon trust me
and then it turns out that that guy is actually Ninten and he’d just helped save the world with a fictional character, and before he has any opportunity to go “wait, what” he gets pulled through a portal by him and ends up somewhere totally different. more specifically, he’s now in the Earthbound universe, and his brain is going “[dial up noises]” a whole lot bc its not like his life was weird ENOUGH now he’s just... ditched his home reality??? with Ninten’s help??? and Ninten’s taking all of it in stride and ends up explaining the multiverse to him and that he’s one of the guys who ended up with the ability to worldhop and had stopped by Katie’s universe because he knew the possessed alien guy. he’s also apparently used to having to help people acclimate to massive paradigm shifts caused by multiversal fuckery.
so Katie’s just kinda trying to wrap his head around this, but takes Ninten up on his offer to go get to meet people and he goes to the Nowhere Islands! which was like, basically the hub location of KL. and then things get EXTRA surreal for Katie, because like... he used to write fanfic, and come up with story ideas that he daydreamed about a lot before everything exploded, and he bumps into Kurousu who is his OC. and there’s a lot of “UHHHH”-ing but he plays it off and befriends her, and its finally starting to sink in that yeah, he’s hanging out in this super weird crossover reality now, and he tries to make the most of it!
then some... weird things start happening. Tank, Joseph, and Vince make a jump to the Persona universe to do some plot stuff and run into Katie there, where he’s apparently joined SEES? except the last time they’d seen him, he’d been acting as a lackey to one of the arc villains because of a FMian from the Megaman universe screwing with him and taking advantage of his trauma to create a “new” Gemini Spark. and they start to write it off as “well i guess he’s like Tails where there’s some AUs of him running around” except... he recognizes them each time? but looks different and has different backstories and nothing really adds up. the next time a protagonist sees him, it’s Artemis post-getting turned into a Nobody finding Katie’s Nobody, Teixak, who apparently was very excited about getting to meet Roxas... despite, according to himself, having been living in Twilight Town for as long as he could remember. while also being very aware and very confused that that contradicts everything else about him.
teixak: eeee you mean i get to meet roxas?! he’s my favourite kingdom hearts character!! >w< rasemtix: ...you do realize you just told me youre from this universe, right? you were just explaining to me about how you lived here with leixand until the shadows attacked you two and stole your hearts. teixak: eh..? hm. ............Hm. but.... hm.
meanwhile on Katie’s end of things, he gets his heart stuffed back in his body and he reconciles with his externalized FMian-induced evil side and various other things from various other worlds, but everything feels weird and disjointed. he remembers attending school at Gekkougan, but also remembers living in Echo Ridge, but also remembers Twilight Town, but also remembers living in a boring world that got invaded by aliens where also all of this was just videogames and books and animes and OCs. and then things start getting weirder for him. he makes a joke to Artemis about “hey, remember when we got in a big fight cause i hit you with a sign?” and he doesn’t remember it. he teases Ninten about something personal and Ninten freezes up and asks him how he knows that, and Katie gets confused because he told him. he has an even more personal talk with T1, and then has  the same talk later but with slightly different words. and it’s starting to look like it’s not just “various Katies”, it’s Katie also dealing with various... varieties of everyone else, and he’s pretty much spinning a wheel on “what version of events am i in today?”
he finally gets an answer after a while-- something went really weird and really wrong when Ninten first brought him into the KL multiverse. the Katie that told Gomess about the Andromeda Key is the same Katie that joined SEES is the same Katie that got his heart stolen is the same Katie that got rescued from an apocalypse, but he’s sort of... existing simultaneously in different realities with slight “adjustments” to his personal history depending on what universe he’s encountered in. he also exists “outside of canon”, so some of the weirder memories he has are from rewrites or scrapped plotlines or noncanon moments that sometimes clip into canon when theyre not supposed to. apocalypse!Katie is the “primary”/original Katie, and that’s where all his weird meta knowledge comes from.
it’s... really confusing, and nobody really “gets” it, least of all Katie himself. he just knows that he’s ended up with a bunch of cool powers, although he’s not  really sure what he’s doing and has been a villain at least two universes. he also has a severe case of main character-itis (hence getting a Persona, getting his heart stolen, etc), and still isnt sure how to tell if he’s interacting with the “canon” versions of everybody or not. he’s at least unable to cause weird bizarre paradoxes by interacting with himself; trying to visit one of the universes he has an “echo” in just causes a perspective switch to the resident Katie. Katie also has access to all of his abilities as long as he’s not in a universe with a resident Katie; apocalypse!Katie has no abilities at all, starforce!Katie only has his FMian transformation, kh!Katie can only use his Keyblade, etc. this only starts being a thing after he “clicks” with his new existence.
he also has various outfits and aesthetics depending on universe, with the one i drew being his “outside canon“/default one. he gets cat ears! and Outsider eyes. Katie also has a bad habit of stealing things from universes he visits, and as a result has a collection of random things that he really shouldnt.

Note
for the questions! alaina: 5, 18, 35, 61, 89; stefan: 22, 50, 60, 73, 93; kal: 14, 25, 40, 56, 77; etienne: 19, 43, 53, 86, 90; vanessa: 6, 28, 53, 82, 96
ALAINA
5 - Who is the first person in your contacts?
It would honestly prob be Asiel ?? Because Alaina would have absolutely no concept of last names and it would be in alphabetical order so it would be “Asiel *insert heart emojis and shit*”
18 - If you were given a chance, would you like to have a different life?
Definitely no !! I feel like the only reason she would have wanted another life so she could be happy and with her birth parents, but once Alaina gets married to Stefan and has her kids she’s super happy and content with her life. It’s like all the suffering she had done had all led her up to the point where she would finally be happy in her life. And she would never leave her current life and end up in a life where Stefan and her kids didn’t exist. 
35 - How’s your heart?
Her heart is so strong !!! And so kind !! And so loving !! And bless her tbh :’)
61 - What hair color do you prefer?
I think Alaina would love her natural dark brown hair but she also loves being blonde !! I think an appropriate Alaina response to this would be “I love all hair colors!” 
89 - Who’s the person who first comes to your mind when someone mentions “love”?
There’s like ten people, don’t do this to her. Honestly though, I think the first thing to come to mind would be romantic love so of course Stefan. And then simultaneously tho, like maybe a milisecond later it would be family/friend love and then comes like Brose, Asiel, her kids, the mafia famiglia, etc. 
STEFAN
22 - Who is your bestfriend?
OF COURSE IT’S ERASMUS !! WHO ELSE !! And no Alaina doesn’t count bc she’s his wife. But also I would consider her one of his best friends because he can truly be himself around her. I mean he can with Erasmus of course !! But I guess not to the affectionate extent he can with Alaina ?? And then I think I can see him get pretty close with Ruben, Eliane, and even Ferran !! 
50 - Do you regret your past?
No, the same thing with Alaina, he would feel like he wouldn’t be where he was today if he didn’t have the current life and had lived his current past. 
60 - Did you slap anyone whose name starts with an “R”?
STEFAN SINCLAIR DOESN’T SLAP PEOPLE ?? THAT IS SO BENEATH HIM. If he did though it would probably be like Ruben or smthing lmao 
73 - Have you ever sacrificed something important to you for someone you love?
Honestly, I think Stefan pretty much sacrifices his dignity and his long held “evil mafia boss” persona for his family ?? Like once he and Alaina get together everyone can tell Stefan becomes nicer and less moody and he starts to really understand people more and starts to have a bit more empathy ?? It was big character development for Stefan to push his pride aside and admit he loved Alaina and that pretty much changed him as a person. And then when his kids come along he does other stuff that he never would have done before like pretending to be a prince and drinking fake tea with baby Odi, driving his limo through a drive-thru so Emil and Michele can get their fast food, helping Rosaire pick out a tux for homecoming, and kissing Hermine and telling her how proud he is of her in front of other people at her dance class. Like he just becomes more ?? Idk, kinder pretty much, and more open with his affection and he’s willing to put aside his snobby and selfish personality aside for his family. 
93 - Do you believe in destiny?
STEFAN’S NOT CESAIRE !! LMAO !! He definitely doesn’t believe in destiny and just thinks that if you want something you can definitely achieve it through hard work and that things happen bc well, they just happen, and if you want it to change then you can change it. 
KAL
14 - What do you want to be in the future?
Kal doesn’t care about his future or where he’s going. I think that’s one thing that’s just super interesting about him is that he has no concern for like ?? his wellbeing ?? like he doesn’t concern himself with having money, being safe, or finding stability. he pretty much acts purely on instincts and current desires and he always follows through. He says he’s gonna try to kill the Demonio Famiglia ?? Then you bet your ass he’s gonna try to kill the Demonio Famiglia. 
25 - Who do you spend crazy moments with?
Definitely with everyone in the Divina Commedia !! And honestly every moment with Kal is a crazy moment. For gods sake he stabbed Eliane and then proceeded to flirt with her. Like what ?? Being near Kal is like playing Russian Roulette, like maybe it’ll be a normal encounter, or maybe you’ll walk away with no eye ?? Who knows ?? 
40 - Did you try to change for a person?
NO LMAO !! Even with Eliane in his life he’s p much no different ?? Because he “loves” her but it’s honestly as close to love as your gonna get with Kal which is p much a weird “ur the exception” obsession and you bet ur ass if Eliane tried to leave he’d make it so she couldn’t. And even though he does what Eliane wants for the most part he’s still himself. Like that whole scenario when Eliane tells Kal she wants a normal life and kids, he tells her they can try to have it ofc, but he’s not gonna stop killing and he can’t guarantee he’d truly love their children. Like he’d fake it ofc and never let his kids know he’s a murdering sociopath, but he could never truly change himself. 
56 - Did you fall for someone you shouldn’t?
There’s not should or shouldn’t with Kal. It’s just “do”. He has absolutely no sense of morals. 
77 - What kind of person are you?
A MURDERING SOCIOPATH !! Kal literally has no sense of morals and does what he pleases. Long story short, he lives a hedonistic lifestyle where the only thing he cares about is fulfilling his own desires.
ETIENNE
19 - What was the best thing you were given?
A name !! He was known as “the orphan boy” at the brothel, either that or other names like “rat”. So when (im blanking on her name rn !!! and charahub is down !!!) so when his “mom” gave him a name it was honestly one of the rare moments in his life that he actually cherished. 
43 - Are you in a good or bad mood?
Unless Etienne has whatever he currently wants at the time he’s ALWAYS in a bad mood !!! He’s always sad and cynical, he just doesn’t show it. 
53 - Do you have a grudge against anyone?
Mafia famiglias in general. It’s because of them that he lost his mother and had a terrible childhood and he will never forgive them. Which is why he spends his entire life built on revenge and trying to destroy all mafia families. 
86 - Have you ever had an argument with someone?
I feel like since Etienne is super fake he would never truly have an argument ?? He would just go along with whatever ___ was saying and then p much disregard them. And no one in Les Sirenes Noires would ever say a word against him. 
90 - Do you think all the pain is worth it?
Only if the pain is against the people he hates LOL !! His mother didn’t deserve the pain she went through, she didn’t deserve her death, and neither did he deserve all that emotional and physical pain that he suffered through when he was little. 
VANESSA
6 - What is your favorite song as of the moment?
Want Your Love and Nightlife by Sickick !! she’s definitely into all the current music and loves whatever is on the radio. She especially loves r&b and pop !
28 - What kind of music do you listen to?
OH LOL !! Like I said she loves r&b and pop ! She also loves hip hop, pretty much any song that you can dance to at a club. That’s her style! 
53 - Do you have a grudge against anyone?
Vanessa doesn’t have the energy to waste it on people that don’t matter !! So she definitely doesn’t hold grudges bc that’s so tiring ?? And anyone that irks her gets their ass whipped anyways. 
82 - Who is the 6th person in your contacts?
Ferran !! I could definitely see her get along super well with Ferran and they would take super aethetic instagram posts at organic restaurants and people would think they were like some beautiful couple or smthing but unforetunately she’s with Asiel. 
96 - Do you believe that first true love never dies?
Vanessa isn’t the kind of person to believe in “true” love, she believe that you can make deep connections with anyone in life and if it’s meant to be it’ll stay and if not it’ll go.
