1. Blog runner is 26, my main is @snippydippy. Please keep this in mind when interacting with me.
I will use (()) to indicate when I'm speaking out of character in any posts.
2. Asks that include mature topics are allowed, but direct and/or explicit NSFW will be promptly shut down if you're a minor, or don't show your age in some capacity.
3. Asks will always be open. Reblog RPs open to all, but DM roleplays for other adults only, please.
4. This blog is likely to contain more mature content than others, due to the nature of this character. Probably not a blog suitable for anyone under 16.
That's it as far as my rules go aside from the obvious "don't be a dick." Thank you for reading them! Next are just a couple notes on my headcanons for this version of Midas (CriMidas for ease of understanding).
Content Warning for the following: Violence, death, sex and drug use.
This is a different Midas than Ascendant with the split in time-line happening sometime around the failure of the device, frustration and anger brewing over this. Most notably, this Midas did not lose his hand to a certain over-zealous collector, and he did not die. He did not spend time in the Underworld, and therefore has done none of the self-reflection that lead to any betterment.
Rather, CriMidas witnessed these misfortunes fall upon the other ones, and has been laying low to bide time until stepping into the spotlight. Previously busy building a criminal syndicate in the shadows (aided by previous organization leaders in Valeria & Montague), he's ready now to cause a bit of havoc on the island.
He despises other Midas', in particular the one who calls himself "King". He thinks the attempted reclamation of that title, and that man's "new leaf" bullshit is pathetic.
CriMidas is angry that King is doing well. He has a support system in Jules, his version of Valeria, and a crew who seem to truly love and care for him. King's efforts at being a better man are working (not that CriMidas would ever admit it), and he's living a life he should be living. In charge, comfortable, respected by many. While CriMidas is where he's at; respected by the few he keeps in his circle, but feared by everyone in the criminal ring beneath him.
However, if feared if what he is, then so be it. CriMidas drinks, smokes, and is a frequent drug user (cocaine, mostly). He fucks anyone he wants, and gets whatever he wants. He's doing just fine. It's only King's attitude that pisses him off.
-"King Midas thinks he's better than everyone else because, what? He went to Hell for a few years? Fuck him. I can undo his 'progress'."
This Midas is cold with a short fuse. He has no contact with his daughter, and allows extremely few people close to him. The only exception being his two confidants, Montague and Valeria. They are his right and left hand, and the only two who can influence his decisions (often times too short-sighted to see just how many strings they control). Even with them, he does not discuss emotions as he spends little time thinking on "feelings" himself.
He is particularly ruthless, choosing to kill people by means other than his golden touch. Very much intentional, he wants to be known for his brutality over his curse.
He does have better control over his touch than some versions of Midas. Tapped into his anger and shut-off to most other feelings, he very rarely looses control. He'll turn everything he touches when in a rage, but to him, this is as intended. Although he does have a quick temper, truly losing himself to it is an extreme rarity.
Tags I'll use!
Wears his hair similar to Kado on purpose. Emulating a man who got the better of other Midas', but who he successfully avoided is an intentional slight to all those parties. His blog title is also a dig at any Midas who wears a crown.

How in the world did the shard manage to find the most incompetent man in the world to land near, and who let him be a nuclear power plant technician!?

By the way, do not attempt to eat or even lick the tentacle. I've been sick since I tried the slimy substance of its surface. Stick to regular octopus 🥲
Hey, kid. Bit of "crashing out" lately...You alright? There anything non-vampire related you need help with?
-@crowned-public-enemy
wha- me? no wayy i’m doing like so good haha…. uh.. yeah okay maybe. just a little bit. kinda. yeah really fucking much.
like man i’d love to just smash my face into a bag of whatever you have on hand rn, but my doctor said i shouldn’t for some reason cuz yeahhh so like.. yeahh.. no fun allowed.
Well this answer has been super reassuring..
No fun allowed? Maybe your doc just has a stick up his ass, I'm sure you'll live. What is it, a heart condition or something? Call me or come over so we can talk about it. Need to know if I'm losing my best mechanic for a bit.
*If you were thinking of robbing a jewelry shop...someone got there before you
But hey, seems like the robber was generous, for a part of the stolen content is now sitting in a bag infront of your location. No idea on who it is. But heyyyyy, gift*
Hm....
*He nudges the bag with his foot a few times, ensuring that nothing inside would explode upon movement before taking it inside to go through it's contents. He picks out a simple diamond-stud earring for himself and gives the rest of the bag's contents to his Angels. They'll decide what to keep and what to flip for a bit of slush fund.*
No trackers, no explosives, just jewlery. Not one to scoff at free money, but ah...where did this come from?
Not to lump myself in with the other guys who have my name, but yeah. The bats have committed several violent thefts. Protected myself well enough so far, but I still don't care much at all for getting pictures of him in my inbox.
I also still don't care for that nickname, Gear. Just saying.
