She’d rather not be referred to by her title, but here is the Former (emphasis on Former) Ultimate Conspiracy Theorist, Myth!
Growing up, Myth was always a massive fan of horror and science fiction media, a sentiment shared by the rest of her cinephile family. Luckily, the obsession for such media didn’t go far enough to warp her perception of reality, and views people like that with contempt and mockery. One day, as a joke to these kinds of people, Myth wrote up an highly-detailed conspiracy theory about the true status of various famous figures (most of which were Ultimates), about seemingly dead figures either being still alive or actually non-human entities entirely. Unfortunately for young teenaged Myth, that conspiracy theory winded up gaining a massive following, even to the present day, which is how Myth gained her Ultimate title, which she ultimately dislikes. By the time she graduated Hope’s Peak, Myth is planning on leaving her Ultimate title behind and majoring in Film Production (hoping to create her own science fiction and horror movies). However, it seems the universe itself has it out for Myth, and she was nominated to be a chaperone for the Annual Kibo-Con Tour, and have to risk her kohais learning of her embarrassing title. According to Myth, she decided to attend to keep her impulsive childhood friend out of trouble.
Wyre Anon, Former Ultimate Ornithologist
Specializing in the research of birds of prey (with hawks and eagles being their personal favourites) and raptors (such as ostriches and emus), Wyre is a well-respected figure by by bird enthusiasts and their fellow ornithologists everywhere, for they contributed so much to the field of ornithology, usually relating to the before-mentioned species. Wyre is also an amateur falconer, and is hardly seen without their pet peregrine falcon (which they named Blue) perched on their arm. Despite normally being seen as wild and thuggish, anyone who sees Wyre with either Myth or Blue knows that they're ultimately a very kind and protective soul. Myth really didn’t want to attend the Kibo-Con, but somebody had to keep Wyre from stirring up any trouble. Whenever either of them are having a bad day, the two love to curl up with a nice so-bad-it’s-good B-movie marathon, which never ceases to cheer up either of them.
Outfit: Messy hair with feathers and sticks in them, the sleeveless green parka from their original design over an orange sweater, a big brown glove on their left hand, dark green binoculars around their neck, dark brown cargo pants, darker brown steel-toed boots.
Anon Scar, Ultimate Puzzle Solver
Famous for appearing on many puzzle-solving game shows and being the first person to solve more than 10 newly-made ARGs, Scar prides himself on his ability to make and solve puzzles at record speed. All the wins that he rightfully earned in those competitions kind of went straight to his head though, and he considers himself the ”Codebreaker”, and even styles himself after a stereotypical mad scientist. Upon meeting Scar, Myth was not very keen on interacting with the eccentric puzzle-solving chuunibyou, and regularly tries to steer not-so-straight-clear of Scar. Myth still can’t comprehend how Scar is a Brain Cell, until she saw his not-so-well-hidden maternal side. Eventually, after setting their differences aside, the two bonded over their shared love for science fiction and ARGs. True to their respective interests, Myth plays for the story, and Scar always cracks the puzzles in the game with ease.
Outfit: Messier and shaggier hair, glasses with a built-in shine, a white labcoat with ragged sleeves and bottom over a purple and red sweater, blue jeans, and black boots.
Fusion Anon, Ultimate Procrastinator
Delegating lots of his time to going down various internet rabbit holes and learning random trivia and neglecting his homework in the process, one would think that he would be a disaster of a student. However, as virtually all of his teachers would tell you, he’s more or less at the top of his class, and could complete his assignments in record speed. Fusion is also really friendly, and is always happy to give his friends study tips, in spite of his less-than-stellar work ethic. Myth couldn’t help but be intrigued about the existance of an Ultimate Procrastinator, being a chronic procrastinator herself (especially if she’s planning out a movie marathon). It helps that Fusion is one of the Con’s few brain cells, and a sort of parent figure the younger (and some of the older) Anons. However, the idea that someone could be embarrassed of/dislike their talent, is simply beyond Fusion’s comprehension.
Outfit: Red long johns, a long blue scarf and matching mittens, black pajama pants with a yellow stripe on both sides, brown slippers, glasses on his head.
Fusion Anon II, Ultimate Paleontologist
A prodigy in her field and a chronic lone wolf, this aloof dinosaur-lover is most commonly found in paleontology digs, writing all about her daily discoveries (which quickly got published and won awards for both her discoveries and her biting wit and sarcasm within the margins of her entry). When not at digs, she is usually found at the local library, burying herself in a pile of bestsellers, and hoping not to get hounded by palaeontologists who recognize her magnum opuses. Because of their similar natures, it only makes sense that Myth and Fusion II would get along. You will usually find the two off on the sidelines, snarking at the stupidity of the other Anons. Honestly, Fusion II is just happy to find someone to relate to. However, as the fiasco of a horror movie marathon can attest to, Fusion II cannot handle horror in the slightest, despite what her stoicness would suggest.
Outfit: A white helmet on her head, a dark green sleeveless parka over a white t-shirt, light blue gloves, light blue shorts, scuffed-up blue and white boots, a brown sidebag that holds her notebooks and discoveries.
Just Anon, Ultimate Romantic
Garnering a sort of “bad boy charm” around his school for routinely skipping class to go flirt with anybody he finds attractive and has zero problem with manipulating his horde of fans into covering for him, when he goes to skip class. He is also admired by his underclassman, for his surprisingly whole-hearted romantic advice, and this one of the few times you’ll witness Janon’s well-hidden soft side, for he’s usually a massive jerk to everybody else, especially his upperclassman. Because of their mutual hatred and disrespect of each other, in spite of their similar low-key personalities, they regularly engage in glaring contests with each other, should they both be in the same room. However, if Janon could stop spamming “tsundere” every time Wet Sock and Myth’s eyes meet and get into passive-aggressive combat, Myth might actually vent about her big fat crush on the assistant to the bunny-eared boy.
Outfit: The same bunny hoodie as his original design but with a heart motif on the ears, over a black and white tuxedo with a pink tie.
Sparkle Anon, Former Ultimate Astronomer
Fashioning herself after a space-themed magical girl, but considering herself more of a “galactic conquerer”, Sparkle constantly expresses a childhood dream of hers to become the world’s first intergalactic theatre star and playwright. In spite of her eccentricities, both hobbyist and professional astronomers everywhere can tell you that she knows just about all there is to know about the solar systems and galaxies above us. Simply dismissing Sparkle as one of the “weirdos”, Myth’s migraine multiplied exponentially, when Sparkle believed that, because of Myth’s talent, she must know a lot about aliens. Now, Sparkle constantly tails Myth, hoping that she could recruit some aliens to join her play. For now, Myth has to spew random alien-related bunk to a gullible aspiring playwright, until either Sparkle is satisfied or the conspiracy theorist gains the heart to tell her that she isn’t an “alien expert”.
Outfit: Hair in space buns and several space-themed hair decorations in them, a blue, purple, and grey dress with a galaxy and star motif, grey gloves and matching stockings, blue boots with yellow soles, glasses from her original design.
Egg Anon, Former Ultimate Surgeon
Despite what their muscleheaded and chaotic behavior that cause people to doubt them at first meeting would suggest, Egg is a certified medical professional, who graduated from medical school, when they were just a teenager. Famous in the hospital for both the mobs of fangirls they manage to attract (to the point that some people harm themselves, just so they could get treatments from Egg) and being the prime cause of medical-related (and even some non-medical related) mischief in the workplace, much to the dismay of their co-workers. Myth would rather not interact with someone as chaotic and empty-headed as Egg (or the Crowned Ruler of idiots, as she calls them), and especially not someone who has every opportunity and the skillset needed to tinker with her bones and organs. However, Egg has ulterior goals in mind, and they all involve matchmaking their tsundere twin with an equally tsundere Myth.
Outfit: Simple green surgery scrubs and a facemask with an evil smile on the front over blue jeans and red and white sneakers.
Wet Sock Anon, Former Ultimate Personal Assistant
While Egg handles the more hands-on elements of surgery, it’s Wet Sock who supplies their twin with the diagnosis and the supplies needed to perform their operations. While putting on airs of politeness and order, while in front of others, Wet Sock is foaming with resentment for their far-more successful and charismatic twin, along with the fact that Wet Sock is usually the scapegoat in all of Egg’s chaotic schemes, causing the humble assistant’s reputation to go down the toilet. Ever since Wet Sock met a certain conspiracy theorist, however, they felt something in themselves that wasn’t just resentment towards their twin, and they don’t like and try to deny these feelings. But you better believe that Egg knows and they are currently trying to match make them with the conspiracy theorist, much to the mortification of both of them, who would rather not suffer from the ramification of the surgeon’s chaos.
Outfit: Same outfit as Surgeon!Egg.
Curious Anon, Jr. Ultimate Poet
Matching their high-class appearance and their polite and classy personality, Curious is famed by poetry enthusiasts everywhere for their beautiful poetry spoken to an audience in an equally dulcet tone. Curious is hardly ever seen without a smile on their face, and is more than content to just go with the flow and let other people boss them around (this has led to moments of burnout that they try their best to deny). Personally, Myth is conflicted about her feelings towards the youngest member of the con building. On one hand, Curious is polite and respectful towards Myth (as they are with everybody) and when Myth tells them that she isn’t the “Former Ultimate Conspiracy Theorist”, they believed her, with zero hesitation. On the other far more negative hand, Curious‘s gullibility means they’d easily be suckered into the non-Brain Cell’s zany schemes, and Myth always has to fish the impressionable poet out of these shenanigans.
Outfit: Same outfit as the original, but with elaborate golden calligraphy on their tie.
Anon Nerd, Former Ultimate Trivia Expert
With a mind able to recall even the most inconsequential of factoids, Nerd quickly made his knowledge known across the country, thanks to his appearance on several trivia game shows. In every single game show he gets invited to perform in, he walks away winning, to the point that people tend to assume that he’s cheating. Nerd really doesn’t like people doubting the legitimacy of his skills, and regularly resorts to violence in order to get his point across to those ignorant Anons, which gained him infamy on top of his fame. Just like with the other Brain Cells (see Fusion and Scar above, and Purple below), Myth gets along best with Anons that call more eccentric Anons out on their bullcrap, and Myth acts like the laidback antithesis to the high-strung Nerd. Upon meeting Myth, Nerd was grateful for Myth’s status as an adult who actually acts her age, and is one of the few people he’s actually nice to.
Outfit: Same suit as the original, but blue and the Jeopardy logo on the lapel.
Eldritch Anon, Ultimate Voice Actor
Thanks to the wide range of voices that they can impersonate (ranging from the very low to the very high), Eldritch is scouted on a regular basis to join the rosters of several popular animes, alongside several other big-name voice actors. But thanks to his severe distrust towards just about everybody (but especially towards large corporations), Eldritch’s voice acting work is limited to indie projects that he voice acts in from home, which was still enough for Hope’s Peak scouts to enroll them in as the “Ultimate Voice Actor”. Matching his hatred for humanity is his love for conspiracy theories that validate their cynical view of the world, which is where his fascination for a frustrated and disgruntled Myth comes in. No matter how many times Myth tries to cut the conversation short and claim that she’s past that, Eldritch always tries to strike conversation with the girl about his own conspiracy theories.
Outfit: Same outfit as the original, but with a mask to hide his face, and anime pins covering his hoodie.
Dream Anon, Ultimate Debater
With a cheerful personality and the spirit of a real go-getter, Dream is both the high-spirited president of her school’s debate club (she has the trophies and respect from her peers to prove it) and the host of a popular online series that pits both historical and fictional figures together in hypothetical physical and mental battles. Her popularity mainly comes from her spirited and childlike personality, as well as the chaotic energy of her online series, to the point that some of her fans want to “adopt” her and consider her “baby”. Whenever Myth sees Dream running around and screaming like a shonen protagonist, she couldn't help but be reminded of Wyre, when the two of them were younger. Although she doesn't like to admit it, Myth holds a soft spot for Dream, due to the above mentioned quality. Dream may view Myth as a bit of a downer, but like all of her senpais, she treats Myth with respect.
Outfit: A pink tie tied around her head, a poorly-buttoned white dress shirt, the skirt, socks, and sneakers from her original design.
Iris Anon, Jr. Ultimate Ice Skater
Despite what their off-the-ice clumsiness would suggest, Iris won international competitions several times in a row with their genius skills on the ice and their signature youthful skating style that charms the audience, resulting in their well-deserved reputation as an ice-skating prodigy. Just like what their dancing style would suggest, Iris is optimistic and cheerful, always taking both her victories and her (admittingly rare) losses with stride, and to her, failures just mean more opportunities to improve themselves. Myth doesn’t really follow sports, so she’s never really came in knowing much about Iris and their accomplishments. However, upon learning more about the cheery ice skater, Myth quickly learned of an interest that Iris shares with her: horror movies. Nowadays, Myth and Iris regularly lounge on the common room’s couch and indulge themselves in their favorite horror movies, over a bowl of snacks.
Outfit: A blue parka with white fluff on the hood over a blue-to-white dress with a snowflake design, black stockings and blue Mary Janes.
Purple Anon, Ultimate Essayist
Because of Purple’s reclusive background and her anonymous nature, very little is actually known about her. All that is sufficiently known about Purple is her aptitude in all sorts of academic subjects, and the sheer impact she has on the academic world, just from her essays alone. There are rumors that Purple’s academic influence go beyond just her essays, but considering the enigmatic character of the timid and highly verbose Purple (it helps with writing essays), those rumors remain rumors. Just like the above mentioned Brain Cells, Myth gets along well with the essayist. Because of Purple’s shy nature and heavily old-fashioned mode of speech, her good friend Fusion acts as a translator between her and Myth (and everyone else, to a lesser extent). Based on what Fusion’s translations say, Purple enjoys Myth’s relaxing presence, and, suffice to say, the feeling is reciprocated on Myth’s ending.
Outfit: Same outfit as the original, but without the beret.
In this AU, watch as the reluctant conspiracy theorist confront her “traumatic” past once again, and deal with the antics of the non-Brain Cells.
In contrast to what her talent would suggest, ConspiracyTheorist!Myth is one of the more realistic and grounded characters in the Kibo-Con roster, and is always quick to give sassy retorts to the more eccentric and chaotic Anons (it was from years of Wyre-sitting), to the point that many consider her a ”Brain Cell”. However, as long as you don’t talk about her talent, she‘s actually a really laidback and shockingly kind-hearted girl (she’s rather embarrassed about the latter fact, and will regularly deny her soft spot for the “idiots”), who will be glad to share some of her favorite horror and sci-fi movies with you, as long as you give them back, of course. Because she watches horror movies on the regular, there is very little that actually scares her, and is rarely ever seen shocked or otherwise scared (if she is, though, something is terribly wrong). Years of having assumptions made about her and her interests due to her talent, even in her adult years, ConspiracyTheorist!Myth really hates her talent, and if someone doesn’t talk about conspiracy theories within earshot of her, she would be a much cheerier person.
Matching the attitude towards her talent and her low-key personality, ConspiracyTheorist!Myth’s outfit barely looks like what one would expect a conspiracy theorist to wear and is something that guarantee comfort, while ensuring that she doesn’t stand out. She wears a dark grey ski cap over her messy chin-length hair, a dark red hoodie with lighter red sleeves over a black horror-related t-shirt, purple jean shorts, galaxy printed leggings, and boots that match her hoodie.
Thanks to my latest fanfiction project, I sincerely apologize for my tardiness. But I hope you like this week’s talentswap AU, and I’d really like to hear your opinions on the Myth design and/or the AU itself! If you could, I’d love to hear your favourite talentswap concepts and ideas in this AU!
