Whats your Romeo blog's story? Is there one?
The RP blog?
Well, I made it because I disliked how Romeo's redemption canonically turned out. His heel-face turn felt rushed, I guess? My response to that was the blog, an AU where the Admin gets worse: Romeo defeated the good guys and retained most of his Admin powers, but lost the one that let him create life during his fight versus Jesse, whom he killed at last – her death leaving him with guilt despite himself.
Romeo couldn't create new people, so he was forced to visit other realities in search for worthy friends champions. Enter earth: he continued his search there, and put many people to the test (RIP the "losers"), but no dice. People still rejected him. Plus, he couldn't take the easy way out like he used to by creating new people as a way of starting fresh. He couldn't discard existing individuals this time. As a result, Romeo became the planet's emperor in a desperate and violent attempt to make people like him.
But he still couldn't obtain friends. His repeated failures at making genuine friends took their toll on his mental health, unhinging him further into self-denial. Unlike his canon self, my Romeo came to realize how awful he was without losing his Admin powers, thanks to his time on earth, but couldn't deal with that. Self-improvement is hard, especially for a manchild like him. Thus, he used his powers to keep himself in denial, ignoring his blatant flaws time and time again.
In denial.
Romeo was not a kind emperor:

A rebel pretending to be Romeo's friend killed him. Fortunately for the former emperor, anons resurrected him. Only a handful of his powers remained now. Thankfully, he lost the one that let him suppress the emotions he didn't want to confront.
Romeo's redemption arc truly commenced here and was a work in progress. He didn't cease being a jerk just because he acknowledged his flaws. He wasn't sorry about everything. It took a while for him to admit Sammy's death (she's an official character who canonically died because of him) WAS his fault.
Also, I introduced a character that contributed to my Romeo's redemption arc: Other Admin, a future-version of Romeo from a reality where the rebel didn't kill him. Other Admin became much, much worse than my Romeo. He was like, "Forget about everyone else! They can all drop dead. Who needs them when I have myself?"
And so, Other Admin forced my Romeo into an abusive "friendship." This really made Romeo's own flaws more obvious to him.
The rest of my blog's RP-posts revolve around Romeo's redemption arc and Other Admin's deteriorating mental health. Romeo has gotten better as a person.
That's @ask-the-mcsm-admin 's story! I might turn this AU into a proper fanfic. :)
