INTRO POST!!! (OOC)

Hi gang, I'm J. Mun, and I had the idea for this AU and need an outlet :)

BASICALLY, it's an AU where Kon isn't a clone made by Cadmus, he's a magical creature called a doppelganger, or a changeling, or a mimic, or whatever you want to call it.

SOME EXTRA NOTES: - Since he didn't get brain blasted with all the knowledge ever by Cadmus, he doesn't know all the human things. - He's probably going to be autistic-coded because I am autistic. - Kon's mentally old enough now that I could maybe consider a flirting plotline sometime soon, but I'd prefer if people didn't try it without DMing me first - His dad/parent/mother is @super-parent - If he doesn't act a lot like Kon, my excuse is it's an AU :) - Angst is welcome with this one, but I'd prefer no, like- death threats and stuff, even if it's in character - Other accounts of mine: @redhoodguythethird @escap3ist @the-sun-flyer - After this post, all text in blue is ooc - AU playlist under the cut

Super duper sorry AGAIN for not doing any RP shit </3 I don’t think my fatigue is going to be much better for a while and I have some other stuff that needs more attention, so I’m gonna say for now that I’m sort of on an RP hiatus? Kind of? I’m still happy to do short and stupid shit, but I just don’t have enough energy for keeping up with longer threads right now, as I’m sure some of you may have noticed.

I’ll still definitely be online and yapping about one thing or another, but yeah. Sorry about that :/

OPEN RP - FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF

Nublo had found a new technique, thanks to the help of mentors he would not name. Concentrating the shadows on his arms and hands, he could increase his strength by a fair amount. This of course, only encouraged him to work out more. The increased focus on gaining strength, combined with actually eating thanks to his boyfriend and sister, had done an incredible job in terms of helping him put on weight.

Now, as he takes off his sweaty shirt while practicing his new technique combined with a deadlift, the muscle gains are for the first time put on full display. With a messy ponytail, skin that finally had some colour to it, and muscles shiny with sweat, there is no denying it-

I give you full permission to make this as platonic as you want. On the other hand, while Nublo is faithful to Voss, you are welcome to flirt a little.

Use any blog you like. If the sister and boyfriend don't fit into the timeline/universe we usually use, you can ignore that part and just let me know.

[dopple-kon]

Kon watches with those wide, innocent eyes of his, tilting his head in curiosity. “What are you doing?”

[theexistance]

"Weight lifting," Nublo answers, glancing over at him. "It's supposed to strengthen my muscles and make so I can lift heavier things later. Would you like to try?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon… hesitates. He does want to try. But he doesn’t want to think about the implications of what he knows would happen.

But then again, if he knows for sure that it’s true, he can try and do something about it. Nublo already knows he’s Superman’s kid, it would hardly seem out of the ordinary to him.

And so, Kon finds himself saying “Okay! I’ll try it.”

[theexistance]

Nublo sets the weight down and steps back. "You can try this one, and we can switch it out if needed. Here, I'll show you how."

[dopple-kon]

Kon steps up, taking a moment to steady his nerves before he moves to lift it like he saw Nublo do.

Immediately, the bar shoots up over his head and he falls backwards with a little, almost-inhuman yelp

[theexistance]

Nublo bites back laughter, not wanting to hurt his feelings. He had almost forgotten how overpowered this kid was.

"That's okay, we can try again... Maybe with something a little heavier?"

He didn't really think the gym had any weights heavy enough to make Kon struggle even the slightest, but oh well.

[dopple-kon]

“It’s okay!” He says, getting to his feet before putting the bar back where it was. “I can just watch while you keep going.”

He suspected the same thing as Nublo, which very much confirms his theory. He’s becoming too much like Superman. How long would it be before Kon becomes an almost perfect copy? How long does he have left as just Kon?

This is what he was made to become, so why does it scare him so much?

Kon does his best not to let his racing thoughts show on his face as he goes to sit down.

[theexistance]

Nublo glances over before shrugging and returning to his work out.

"Sooooo...tell me what you've been doing."

[dopple-kon]

"...Not much." He admits. "Though, um... there's something else like me around that I've been trying to hunt. It's not going well..."

[theexistance]

"Something else like you?" Nublo frowns. "What does that mean?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon's mouth pops open and then shut again. Nublo doesn't know. Shit. "Um..." How does he explain something he doesn't even have the words for? "...I'm technically not Superman's kid. I don't know how to explain it, just... all you really need to know is that this thing is dangerous."

[theexistance]

"Right.... Adopted and all." Nublo shrugs, not too concerned about the technical or biological aspects of Kon's existence. "Does it look like you? Is it a person? Might it hurt you?"

[dopple-kon]

He thinks for a moment. "I don't think it will hurt me, but it will hurt people. It's young enough that it doesn't quite fit in with people yet, but once it's tied to someone, it will try to kill them, or maybe even more people. That's why I'm hunting it."

[theexistance]

Nublo sets down the weight and returns it to its place. "Let's go find a child then!"

[dopple-kon]

“It’s not really a child.” Kon says. “And you don’t have to help, it could be dangerous for you!”

[theexistance]

"It's young but not a child? Huh." He grabs his shirt and water bottle. "I've done more dangerous things. Besides, finding stuff is in my job discription!"

[dopple-kon]

“Well, I think it’s been probably just under a year since I first formed, and I’m not a child.” He shrugs. “I think I’ll be able to sense it if it’s close, but it could really be anywhere.”

[theexistance]

"Good to know, good to know," Nublo replies with a hum. "Do you know where it last was? What does it look like? Does it have a name?"

[dopple-kon]

"I last saw it in Metropolis, but that was about a month ago, I think. It was still developing when I saw it, so I don't know what it looks like now, and it won't have a name. Which... is why it's been so hard to hunt."

[theexistance]

"That would make it difficult," Nublo agrees. "But if it's dangerous for me...I don't want you doing this alone. Please, let me help you."

[dopple-kon]

"It doesn't have reason to hurt me, but it does have reason to hurt you," Kon explains, lightly tapping Nublo's chest. "I won't stop you, but be careful."

[theexistance]

Nublo looks down, as if the skin where Kon touched might hold the answer to his question. "Why? Why does it have a reason to hurt me?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon once again stops to think, tilting his head slightly. "...We copy and kill to survive. Take someone's place. Sometimes, even if we're not copying someone, if they know what we are, they can be viewed as a threat."

[theexistance]

"But Superman isn't dead...?" Nublo points out, trying to understand what was being told to him. He really did want to understand and help Kon. "Besides, I'm always at risk of being killed. Why is this different?"

[dopple-kon]

"Have you tried killing Superman?" He tilts his head the other way with a teasing smirk. "This is different because this isn't just a guy trying to steal your money, or someone trying to hurt you because they think they should. This thing is like an injured, cornered, street dog. It's being driven by desperation and instinct."

[theexistance]

Nublo shudders at the thought of trying to kill Superman. Any other superhero, he might have thought about it for a moment, but Superman was terrifying to him.

"Yeah...but injured street dogs deserve love. It sounds like we have to help it."

[dopple-kon]

“It’s not actually a dog, it’s just a thing. It’s not people.” He tries to explain.

[theexistance]

"You said it's like you." Nublo places a hand on Kon's shoulder, his face serious. "And you are not just a 'thing'."

[dopple-kon]

Kon purses his lips and looks away. This is something he definitely does not have the words to explain. Maybe he should be playing along? Would Nublo get upset if Kon isn't people?

[theexistance]

Nublo looks concerned and squeezes Kon's shoulder gently. "Kon...are you thinking that you don't count as a person?"

[dopple-kon]

Yes, it does seem like Nublo will get upset if Kon tells the truth. “No.”

[theexistance]

"..." Nublo presses his lips together and pulls back. "Kon. Do you know the difference between a human and a person?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon blinks in surprise at the words. “No…?”

[theexistance]

"Mkay. Do you think that Superman is a person?"

[dopple-kon]

He nods firmly.

[theexistance]

"Okay....and is he human?"

[dopple-kon]

“I know that people aren’t always human.” He amends awkwardly. “Superman is people, you’re people, Krypto is people, the kitty cats are people, just um… I didn’t know what way you meant…”

[theexistance]

"And you are a person." He raps on Kon's forehead with his knuckles. "Stop thinking down on yourself. And about that other person. I think they deserve a chance."

[dopple-kon]

“…But we’re bad.” He hesitantly argues. “We’re not born, we just— exist. And we exist to lie and kill and steal and take…”

[theexistance]

"And? Humans do that too. Bears do that. Hell, even rats do it." He shrugs. "Who told you that shit?"

[dopple-kon]

“No one.” Kon says. “…And it’s different. Bears kill to eat or defend themselves. We kill to replace.”

[theexistance]

"Because that's the way you were designed!" He crosses his arms over his chest.

[dopple-kon]

Kon stays quiet for a long moment. It seemed like the more he explained, the more upset Nublo would get. He knows he should stop, but a little, stubborn part of him demands the last word. “People aren’t designed, they’re born.”

[theexistance]

"Hmph." Nublo huffs and turns away. "I'm not going to stop being your friend. And I'm not going to call the other one a monster."

[dopple-kon]

Kon just looks at Nublo for a moment before giving a tentative nod.

[theexistance]

"Are we good then?" Nublo gives him a hesitant smile. "Sorry for arguing with you."

[dopple-kon]

Kon nods with a lot more certainty this time. “I’m not mad at you, I just wanted you to understand before getting into this.”

[dopple-kon]

I’m gonna have to make a new blog for this other doppelgänger, aren’t I? I don’t actually have any ideas for it yet so I might make one and have it sort of do it’s own thing for a bit while it figures itself out.

[dopple-kon]

Made the blog, it's @metropolis-doppelganger

[dopple-kon]

I’m gonna have to make a new blog for this other doppelgänger, aren’t I? I don’t actually have any ideas for it yet so I might make one and have it sort of do it’s own thing for a bit while it figures itself out.

“No one.” Kon says. “…And it’s different. Bears kill to eat or defend themselves. We kill to replace.”

[theexistance]

"Because that's the way you were designed!" He crosses his arms over his chest.

[dopple-kon]

Kon stays quiet for a long moment. It seemed like the more he explained, the more upset Nublo would get. He knows he should stop, but a little, stubborn part of him demands the last word. “People aren’t designed, they’re born.”

OPEN RP - FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF

Nublo had found a new technique, thanks to the help of mentors he would not name. Concentrating the shadows on his arms and hands, he could increase his strength by a fair amount. This of course, only encouraged him to work out more. The increased focus on gaining strength, combined with actually eating thanks to his boyfriend and sister, had done an incredible job in terms of helping him put on weight.

Now, as he takes off his sweaty shirt while practicing his new technique combined with a deadlift, the muscle gains are for the first time put on full display. With a messy ponytail, skin that finally had some colour to it, and muscles shiny with sweat, there is no denying it-

I give you full permission to make this as platonic as you want. On the other hand, while Nublo is faithful to Voss, you are welcome to flirt a little.

Use any blog you like. If the sister and boyfriend don't fit into the timeline/universe we usually use, you can ignore that part and just let me know.

[dopple-kon]

Kon watches with those wide, innocent eyes of his, tilting his head in curiosity. “What are you doing?”

[theexistance]

"Weight lifting," Nublo answers, glancing over at him. "It's supposed to strengthen my muscles and make so I can lift heavier things later. Would you like to try?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon… hesitates. He does want to try. But he doesn’t want to think about the implications of what he knows would happen.

But then again, if he knows for sure that it’s true, he can try and do something about it. Nublo already knows he’s Superman’s kid, it would hardly seem out of the ordinary to him.

And so, Kon finds himself saying “Okay! I’ll try it.”

[theexistance]

Nublo sets the weight down and steps back. "You can try this one, and we can switch it out if needed. Here, I'll show you how."

[dopple-kon]

Kon steps up, taking a moment to steady his nerves before he moves to lift it like he saw Nublo do.

Immediately, the bar shoots up over his head and he falls backwards with a little, almost-inhuman yelp

[theexistance]

Nublo bites back laughter, not wanting to hurt his feelings. He had almost forgotten how overpowered this kid was.

"That's okay, we can try again... Maybe with something a little heavier?"

He didn't really think the gym had any weights heavy enough to make Kon struggle even the slightest, but oh well.

[dopple-kon]

“It’s okay!” He says, getting to his feet before putting the bar back where it was. “I can just watch while you keep going.”

He suspected the same thing as Nublo, which very much confirms his theory. He’s becoming too much like Superman. How long would it be before Kon becomes an almost perfect copy? How long does he have left as just Kon?

This is what he was made to become, so why does it scare him so much?

Kon does his best not to let his racing thoughts show on his face as he goes to sit down.

[theexistance]

Nublo glances over before shrugging and returning to his work out.

"Sooooo...tell me what you've been doing."

[dopple-kon]

"...Not much." He admits. "Though, um... there's something else like me around that I've been trying to hunt. It's not going well..."

[theexistance]

"Something else like you?" Nublo frowns. "What does that mean?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon's mouth pops open and then shut again. Nublo doesn't know. Shit. "Um..." How does he explain something he doesn't even have the words for? "...I'm technically not Superman's kid. I don't know how to explain it, just... all you really need to know is that this thing is dangerous."

[theexistance]

"Right.... Adopted and all." Nublo shrugs, not too concerned about the technical or biological aspects of Kon's existence. "Does it look like you? Is it a person? Might it hurt you?"

[dopple-kon]

He thinks for a moment. "I don't think it will hurt me, but it will hurt people. It's young enough that it doesn't quite fit in with people yet, but once it's tied to someone, it will try to kill them, or maybe even more people. That's why I'm hunting it."

[theexistance]

Nublo sets down the weight and returns it to its place. "Let's go find a child then!"

[dopple-kon]

“It’s not really a child.” Kon says. “And you don’t have to help, it could be dangerous for you!”

[theexistance]

"It's young but not a child? Huh." He grabs his shirt and water bottle. "I've done more dangerous things. Besides, finding stuff is in my job discription!"

[dopple-kon]

“Well, I think it’s been probably just under a year since I first formed, and I’m not a child.” He shrugs. “I think I’ll be able to sense it if it’s close, but it could really be anywhere.”

[theexistance]

"Good to know, good to know," Nublo replies with a hum. "Do you know where it last was? What does it look like? Does it have a name?"

[dopple-kon]

"I last saw it in Metropolis, but that was about a month ago, I think. It was still developing when I saw it, so I don't know what it looks like now, and it won't have a name. Which... is why it's been so hard to hunt."

[theexistance]

"That would make it difficult," Nublo agrees. "But if it's dangerous for me...I don't want you doing this alone. Please, let me help you."

[dopple-kon]

"It doesn't have reason to hurt me, but it does have reason to hurt you," Kon explains, lightly tapping Nublo's chest. "I won't stop you, but be careful."

[theexistance]

Nublo looks down, as if the skin where Kon touched might hold the answer to his question. "Why? Why does it have a reason to hurt me?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon once again stops to think, tilting his head slightly. "...We copy and kill to survive. Take someone's place. Sometimes, even if we're not copying someone, if they know what we are, they can be viewed as a threat."

[theexistance]

"But Superman isn't dead...?" Nublo points out, trying to understand what was being told to him. He really did want to understand and help Kon. "Besides, I'm always at risk of being killed. Why is this different?"

[dopple-kon]

"Have you tried killing Superman?" He tilts his head the other way with a teasing smirk. "This is different because this isn't just a guy trying to steal your money, or someone trying to hurt you because they think they should. This thing is like an injured, cornered, street dog. It's being driven by desperation and instinct."

[theexistance]

Nublo shudders at the thought of trying to kill Superman. Any other superhero, he might have thought about it for a moment, but Superman was terrifying to him.

"Yeah...but injured street dogs deserve love. It sounds like we have to help it."

[dopple-kon]

“It’s not actually a dog, it’s just a thing. It’s not people.” He tries to explain.

[theexistance]

"You said it's like you." Nublo places a hand on Kon's shoulder, his face serious. "And you are not just a 'thing'."

[dopple-kon]

Kon purses his lips and looks away. This is something he definitely does not have the words to explain. Maybe he should be playing along? Would Nublo get upset if Kon isn't people?

[theexistance]

Nublo looks concerned and squeezes Kon's shoulder gently. "Kon...are you thinking that you don't count as a person?"

[dopple-kon]

Yes, it does seem like Nublo will get upset if Kon tells the truth. “No.”

[theexistance]

"..." Nublo presses his lips together and pulls back. "Kon. Do you know the difference between a human and a person?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon blinks in surprise at the words. “No…?”

[theexistance]

"Mkay. Do you think that Superman is a person?"

[dopple-kon]

He nods firmly.

[theexistance]

"Okay....and is he human?"

[dopple-kon]

“I know that people aren’t always human.” He amends awkwardly. “Superman is people, you’re people, Krypto is people, the kitty cats are people, just um… I didn’t know what way you meant…”

[theexistance]

"And you are a person." He raps on Kon's forehead with his knuckles. "Stop thinking down on yourself. And about that other person. I think they deserve a chance."

[dopple-kon]

“…But we’re bad.” He hesitantly argues. “We’re not born, we just— exist. And we exist to lie and kill and steal and take…”

[theexistance]

"And? Humans do that too. Bears do that. Hell, even rats do it." He shrugs. "Who told you that shit?"

[dopple-kon]

“No one.” Kon says. “…And it’s different. Bears kill to eat or defend themselves. We kill to replace.”

He thinks for a moment. "I don't think it will hurt me, but it will hurt people. It's young enough that it doesn't quite fit in with people yet, but once it's tied to someone, it will try to kill them, or maybe even more people. That's why I'm hunting it."

[theexistance]

Nublo sets down the weight and returns it to its place. "Let's go find a child then!"

[dopple-kon]

“It’s not really a child.” Kon says. “And you don’t have to help, it could be dangerous for you!”

[theexistance]

"It's young but not a child? Huh." He grabs his shirt and water bottle. "I've done more dangerous things. Besides, finding stuff is in my job discription!"

[dopple-kon]

“Well, I think it’s been probably just under a year since I first formed, and I’m not a child.” He shrugs. “I think I’ll be able to sense it if it’s close, but it could really be anywhere.”

[theexistance]

"Good to know, good to know," Nublo replies with a hum. "Do you know where it last was? What does it look like? Does it have a name?"

[dopple-kon]

"I last saw it in Metropolis, but that was about a month ago, I think. It was still developing when I saw it, so I don't know what it looks like now, and it won't have a name. Which... is why it's been so hard to hunt."

[theexistance]

"That would make it difficult," Nublo agrees. "But if it's dangerous for me...I don't want you doing this alone. Please, let me help you."

[dopple-kon]

"It doesn't have reason to hurt me, but it does have reason to hurt you," Kon explains, lightly tapping Nublo's chest. "I won't stop you, but be careful."

[theexistance]

Nublo looks down, as if the skin where Kon touched might hold the answer to his question. "Why? Why does it have a reason to hurt me?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon once again stops to think, tilting his head slightly. "...We copy and kill to survive. Take someone's place. Sometimes, even if we're not copying someone, if they know what we are, they can be viewed as a threat."

[theexistance]

"But Superman isn't dead...?" Nublo points out, trying to understand what was being told to him. He really did want to understand and help Kon. "Besides, I'm always at risk of being killed. Why is this different?"

[dopple-kon]

"Have you tried killing Superman?" He tilts his head the other way with a teasing smirk. "This is different because this isn't just a guy trying to steal your money, or someone trying to hurt you because they think they should. This thing is like an injured, cornered, street dog. It's being driven by desperation and instinct."

[theexistance]

Nublo shudders at the thought of trying to kill Superman. Any other superhero, he might have thought about it for a moment, but Superman was terrifying to him.

"Yeah...but injured street dogs deserve love. It sounds like we have to help it."

[dopple-kon]

“It’s not actually a dog, it’s just a thing. It’s not people.” He tries to explain.

[theexistance]

"You said it's like you." Nublo places a hand on Kon's shoulder, his face serious. "And you are not just a 'thing'."

[dopple-kon]

Kon purses his lips and looks away. This is something he definitely does not have the words to explain. Maybe he should be playing along? Would Nublo get upset if Kon isn't people?

[theexistance]

Nublo looks concerned and squeezes Kon's shoulder gently. "Kon...are you thinking that you don't count as a person?"

[dopple-kon]

Yes, it does seem like Nublo will get upset if Kon tells the truth. “No.”

[theexistance]

"..." Nublo presses his lips together and pulls back. "Kon. Do you know the difference between a human and a person?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon blinks in surprise at the words. “No…?”

[theexistance]

"Mkay. Do you think that Superman is a person?"

[dopple-kon]

He nods firmly.

OPEN RP - FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF

Nublo had found a new technique, thanks to the help of mentors he would not name. Concentrating the shadows on his arms and hands, he could increase his strength by a fair amount. This of course, only encouraged him to work out more. The increased focus on gaining strength, combined with actually eating thanks to his boyfriend and sister, had done an incredible job in terms of helping him put on weight.

Now, as he takes off his sweaty shirt while practicing his new technique combined with a deadlift, the muscle gains are for the first time put on full display. With a messy ponytail, skin that finally had some colour to it, and muscles shiny with sweat, there is no denying it-

I give you full permission to make this as platonic as you want. On the other hand, while Nublo is faithful to Voss, you are welcome to flirt a little.

@variousvossivixens @ancient-siren @reveries-daydream @yourbrandnewname @ants-body-shop @ghoul-of-gotham @dopple-kon @mirage-widow @not-the-restaurant @r3d-robin

Use any blog you like. If the sister and boyfriend don't fit into the timeline/universe we usually use, you can ignore that part and just let me know.

[dopple-kon]

Kon watches with those wide, innocent eyes of his, tilting his head in curiosity. “What are you doing?”

[theexistance]

"Weight lifting," Nublo answers, glancing over at him. "It's supposed to strengthen my muscles and make so I can lift heavier things later. Would you like to try?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon… hesitates. He does want to try. But he doesn’t want to think about the implications of what he knows would happen.

But then again, if he knows for sure that it’s true, he can try and do something about it. Nublo already knows he’s Superman’s kid, it would hardly seem out of the ordinary to him.

And so, Kon finds himself saying “Okay! I’ll try it.”

[theexistance]

Nublo sets the weight down and steps back. "You can try this one, and we can switch it out if needed. Here, I'll show you how."

[dopple-kon]

Kon steps up, taking a moment to steady his nerves before he moves to lift it like he saw Nublo do.

Immediately, the bar shoots up over his head and he falls backwards with a little, almost-inhuman yelp

[theexistance]

Nublo bites back laughter, not wanting to hurt his feelings. He had almost forgotten how overpowered this kid was.

"That's okay, we can try again... Maybe with something a little heavier?"

He didn't really think the gym had any weights heavy enough to make Kon struggle even the slightest, but oh well.

[dopple-kon]

“It’s okay!” He says, getting to his feet before putting the bar back where it was. “I can just watch while you keep going.”

He suspected the same thing as Nublo, which very much confirms his theory. He’s becoming too much like Superman. How long would it be before Kon becomes an almost perfect copy? How long does he have left as just Kon?

This is what he was made to become, so why does it scare him so much?

Kon does his best not to let his racing thoughts show on his face as he goes to sit down.

[theexistance]

Nublo glances over before shrugging and returning to his work out.

"Sooooo...tell me what you've been doing."

[dopple-kon]

"...Not much." He admits. "Though, um... there's something else like me around that I've been trying to hunt. It's not going well..."

[theexistance]

"Something else like you?" Nublo frowns. "What does that mean?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon's mouth pops open and then shut again. Nublo doesn't know. Shit. "Um..." How does he explain something he doesn't even have the words for? "...I'm technically not Superman's kid. I don't know how to explain it, just... all you really need to know is that this thing is dangerous."

[theexistance]

"Right.... Adopted and all." Nublo shrugs, not too concerned about the technical or biological aspects of Kon's existence. "Does it look like you? Is it a person? Might it hurt you?"

[dopple-kon]

He thinks for a moment. "I don't think it will hurt me, but it will hurt people. It's young enough that it doesn't quite fit in with people yet, but once it's tied to someone, it will try to kill them, or maybe even more people. That's why I'm hunting it."

[dopple-kon]

Kon's mouth pops open and then shut again. Nublo doesn't know. Shit. "Um..." How does he explain something he doesn't even have the words for? "...I'm technically not Superman's kid. I don't know how to explain it, just... all you really need to know is that this thing is dangerous."

[theexistance]

"Right.... Adopted and all." Nublo shrugs, not too concerned about the technical or biological aspects of Kon's existence. "Does it look like you? Is it a person? Might it hurt you?"

[dopple-kon]

He thinks for a moment. "I don't think it will hurt me, but it will hurt people. It's young enough that it doesn't quite fit in with people yet, but once it's tied to someone, it will try to kill them, or maybe even more people. That's why I'm hunting it."

[theexistance]

Nublo sets down the weight and returns it to its place. "Let's go find a child then!"

[dopple-kon]

“It’s not really a child.” Kon says. “And you don’t have to help, it could be dangerous for you!”

[theexistance]

"It's young but not a child? Huh." He grabs his shirt and water bottle. "I've done more dangerous things. Besides, finding stuff is in my job discription!"

[dopple-kon]

“Well, I think it’s been probably just under a year since I first formed, and I’m not a child.” He shrugs. “I think I’ll be able to sense it if it’s close, but it could really be anywhere.”

[theexistance]

"Good to know, good to know," Nublo replies with a hum. "Do you know where it last was? What does it look like? Does it have a name?"

[dopple-kon]

"I last saw it in Metropolis, but that was about a month ago, I think. It was still developing when I saw it, so I don't know what it looks like now, and it won't have a name. Which... is why it's been so hard to hunt."

[theexistance]

"That would make it difficult," Nublo agrees. "But if it's dangerous for me...I don't want you doing this alone. Please, let me help you."

[dopple-kon]

"It doesn't have reason to hurt me, but it does have reason to hurt you," Kon explains, lightly tapping Nublo's chest. "I won't stop you, but be careful."

[theexistance]

Nublo looks down, as if the skin where Kon touched might hold the answer to his question. "Why? Why does it have a reason to hurt me?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon once again stops to think, tilting his head slightly. "...We copy and kill to survive. Take someone's place. Sometimes, even if we're not copying someone, if they know what we are, they can be viewed as a threat."

[theexistance]

"But Superman isn't dead...?" Nublo points out, trying to understand what was being told to him. He really did want to understand and help Kon. "Besides, I'm always at risk of being killed. Why is this different?"

[dopple-kon]

"Have you tried killing Superman?" He tilts his head the other way with a teasing smirk. "This is different because this isn't just a guy trying to steal your money, or someone trying to hurt you because they think they should. This thing is like an injured, cornered, street dog. It's being driven by desperation and instinct."

[theexistance]

Nublo shudders at the thought of trying to kill Superman. Any other superhero, he might have thought about it for a moment, but Superman was terrifying to him.

"Yeah...but injured street dogs deserve love. It sounds like we have to help it."

[dopple-kon]

“It’s not actually a dog, it’s just a thing. It’s not people.” He tries to explain.

OPEN RP - FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF

Nublo had found a new technique, thanks to the help of mentors he would not name. Concentrating the shadows on his arms and hands, he could increase his strength by a fair amount. This of course, only encouraged him to work out more. The increased focus on gaining strength, combined with actually eating thanks to his boyfriend and sister, had done an incredible job in terms of helping him put on weight.

Now, as he takes off his sweaty shirt while practicing his new technique combined with a deadlift, the muscle gains are for the first time put on full display. With a messy ponytail, skin that finally had some colour to it, and muscles shiny with sweat, there is no denying it-

I give you full permission to make this as platonic as you want. On the other hand, while Nublo is faithful to Voss, you are welcome to flirt a little.

Use any blog you like. If the sister and boyfriend don't fit into the timeline/universe we usually use, you can ignore that part and just let me know.

[dopple-kon]

Kon watches with those wide, innocent eyes of his, tilting his head in curiosity. “What are you doing?”

[theexistance]

"Weight lifting," Nublo answers, glancing over at him. "It's supposed to strengthen my muscles and make so I can lift heavier things later. Would you like to try?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon… hesitates. He does want to try. But he doesn’t want to think about the implications of what he knows would happen.

But then again, if he knows for sure that it’s true, he can try and do something about it. Nublo already knows he’s Superman’s kid, it would hardly seem out of the ordinary to him.

And so, Kon finds himself saying “Okay! I’ll try it.”

[theexistance]

Nublo sets the weight down and steps back. "You can try this one, and we can switch it out if needed. Here, I'll show you how."

[dopple-kon]

Kon steps up, taking a moment to steady his nerves before he moves to lift it like he saw Nublo do.

Immediately, the bar shoots up over his head and he falls backwards with a little, almost-inhuman yelp

[theexistance]

Nublo bites back laughter, not wanting to hurt his feelings. He had almost forgotten how overpowered this kid was.

"That's okay, we can try again... Maybe with something a little heavier?"

He didn't really think the gym had any weights heavy enough to make Kon struggle even the slightest, but oh well.

[dopple-kon]

“It’s okay!” He says, getting to his feet before putting the bar back where it was. “I can just watch while you keep going.”

He suspected the same thing as Nublo, which very much confirms his theory. He’s becoming too much like Superman. How long would it be before Kon becomes an almost perfect copy? How long does he have left as just Kon?

This is what he was made to become, so why does it scare him so much?

Kon does his best not to let his racing thoughts show on his face as he goes to sit down.

[theexistance]

Nublo glances over before shrugging and returning to his work out.

"Sooooo...tell me what you've been doing."

[dopple-kon]

"...Not much." He admits. "Though, um... there's something else like me around that I've been trying to hunt. It's not going well..."

[theexistance]

"Something else like you?" Nublo frowns. "What does that mean?"

[dopple-kon]

Kon's mouth pops open and then shut again. Nublo doesn't know. Shit. "Um..." How does he explain something he doesn't even have the words for? "...I'm technically not Superman's kid. I don't know how to explain it, just... all you really need to know is that this thing is dangerous."
