i'll post these here too i don't really like them as much, but #whatever!! putting my player thru situations cause i haven't been feeling the greatest cause of the #horrors but it's fine.
the wild au was neither dead nor alive in the first place for this to be relevant but i do not care.
even tho i do not have any of the designs made/finalized (even after my dipshit ass kept saying 'make concept art. you learned this in game design you fuckwit', i never decided to do concept art LOL), heres the canon identities and other shit of the trio (Time, Illusion, and Memory), Elemental, and the idiot duo (Sabre, and Rainbow). any other character will be said when i actually feel like it/when i make their references eventually lul;. very very VERY long yap under the cut. (/srs) sorry not sorry. i typed for like....3 hours???
main characters
Elemental Steve;
Is still called Elemental in this. No i wasnt lazy to come up with a name, I just thought "Elemental is already kind of a name..and i am making their names related to their powers....Elemental is already a catch all, since Elemental doesnt use a specific power 24/7."
5'11 in height
Unlabled, and uses he/they/she, but this could change later on.
The eldest out of Time and Illusion, but is a few decades behind Memory in age.
Still cryptic as fuck sometimes
Semi-weak knees/legs. i know theres prob a term for it but i forgot it.
--- Shes usually just constantly floating like an inch off the ground because she cant stand for a long time/constantly, without like, canes or knee braces or smth to support her. So he just decides to float slightly off the ground usually instead. It makes Time look slightly shorter than her, when the two are the exact same height. Its genetic with at least my headcanons of the Galaxy family.
---This condition most definetly has a name, im just a fuckin idiot who cannot pinpoint it, but i think its Multiple Sclerosis? its the closest i can find for what im thinking
Naturally buff/slightly muscular and is pretty strong
The unfortunate cause that starts the AU
Time Steve;
Is named Equinox in this AU.
Plural because i said so :]. It will most likely have a canon explination, but also i really really loved seeing myself in the Steve characters that were canon fusions and always thought of them as the literal 'one body, multiple minds'. (mostly positive and negative making infinity. i saw some really cool unintentional plural rep with them in a wattpad fic once and since then its been my headcanon. RQ i also liked with how they did Dark Steve and Ultra Steve [not so much done with Chaos tho], and i wish it couldve been done with Positive and Negative as well...... I also made Time plural because theyre plural in me and my friends series.....Oh and also look at that one scene in TSS where he randomly showed up with 2 other versions of himself. I dont care, that man is plural with slight variations of himself.)
---There are 3 (not including Time himself) known headmates. Do they have names/identities? not yet. Time will most likely be more of a median system like myself, but im also not sure.
---they may also not be mentioned much in the story because Time is usually the one active anyways, and hir system is pretty covert.
---Can you weirdly tell Time Steve is the (weird) reason i decided on this AU. The others (except for Elemental, but its sort of on purpose) also have alot of info, but im clearly rambling with Time's section lmao
Also 5'11 in height, but looks slightly shorter than Elemental
Arospec, Demifluid, and Bigender. Time uses He/Hi/It/They/Hy pronouns, with an occasional Zy/Zyr as well
The middle child, but could be mistaken for the older sibling many times.
Slightly chubby :]
weapons;
Giant key that can become pocket sized, can be used as a mace, spear, or similar to a baseball bat...Stole this idea from a game I cannot mention as it is pretty NSFW in nature...dont ask, the storylines pretty decent for a game i thought was genuinly just for gooning. Also character design. Somehow not overly-sexual, but also 'just right'. Im an adult, sue me....Can also stand ontop of the key and aura-farm as he hovers with it.
Giant scissors that can be split into two seprate parts. Stole this idea both from Riyo Reaper from Gachiakuta, and Timekeeper Cookie from Cookie Run...just not without the weapon splitting apart. Just the giant fuckin scissors..Can also become pocket-sized like Riyos. The magic was infact heavily inspired by hers. the difference is Time can also pull a Timekeeper Cookie with them if he wanted too, and has. (or also a Star Butterfly from Star VS the Forces of Evil in terms of literally cutting open reality and hoppin through timelines)
A pocket-watch that can also become a spiked ball-and-chain (with a practically infinite chain.), or spinning blades that appear from the seams of the pocket-watch (image is the closest i could find for the blades, but image two sets on each side, that go opposite ways at the same time). The pocket-watch can also be pocket-sized like the key and scissors!
his backups are; a katana, and a mallet....the mallet/comically large hamer were both inspired by Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzel from DC,,,and the NSFW game i cannot mention...yes i do need help, tell me smth new........was also just an unintentional reference to RQ Time being like 'hammer time!'.... Oh and the katana was also inspired by my girly Katana/Tatsu Yamashiro, also from DC. I love her alot.
Illusion Steve/the gremlin (/silly);
Is called Deja Vu (fun fact, one of my schoolmates has this as her actual name! I like it. wish i knew her beforhand since she sounds super cool)
It has a decent connection/relationship with Elemental and Time, but is closer to Memory and usually bugs/hangs around him more than the others. Memory does not care, and lets h1m be annoying.
---And yes, the two being like besties (apathetic [memory] and the gremlin [illusion] besties [just like me and my own friend @elliott-good. guess who the apathetic one is and guess whos the gremlin /silly]) is a slight nod to Remorseful Recollections of a Forgotten Family/RRFF. I love the idea of them being dumb little friends in every universe /pos /aff. They are besties in every universe, even if one of those universes is Illusion being annoying nd deserving to be drop kicked into oblivion because of it /silly
---Cause of h?m and Memory being besties, Memory's son is very fond of Illusion and also clings around him when Illusion is on babysitting duty because Memory does most of the patrols for the group. and yes Memory has a son in this au from off-screen/events that happend before the AU's events happend. fuckin sue me
Able to manipulate technology both in-game, and outside of the game. Uses it to tag-in/tag-out Sabre incase things get hectic, as its unknown if the events can have an effect on Sabre beyond potential death. (whether this is by force or not as well)
--he can kick/force Sabre to disconnect/crash, if the situation they are in gets too dangerous for him. Illusion then contacts him after it is over, and he can get the all clear to reopen the game/reconnect.
---Sabre can respawn, but would have to walk back/be teleported back to the location after death, since he both doesnt sleep, and doesnt have spawn points near the locations, since theyre always random each day..
---Illusion sometimes also uses this to mess with Sabre by acting like a virus, or a rouge-widget pet/like the stickfigures from Animator vs Animation. Sabre has given up with it since its the unfortunate price to pay for being literal friends with entities in a game that shouldnt exist.... Meaning widget illusion is canon in this universe, and he is worse that you'd imagine /silly
---Oh, and in this AU, because of that, Sabre is not even safe outside of his computer, since in the AU, Illusion got his discord and shit. meaning also yes, Illusion with accounts is also canon in this universe (altho theyre more phantom accounts in at least this AU). yes, illusion will randomly voice/video call Sabre in the middle of the night on discord/with his actual phone, just to be annoying (cause yeah, even Sabres phone number in this aint safe)
Probably the most 'complex' Gender/Identity wise, since I love to headcanon Illusion loves microlables and identities. including xenogenders/neogenders. he'd be confused for only a moment, and then immediately has 500 gazillion saved on a pinterest account...this is also because none of our illusions have a single 'common/basic' identity. they are all niche mircolabels
Speaking of that; Illusion is Amasculine, Genderless Masc, Singularian, Aurorian, Genderfluid, Panromantic, and Berri/Almondsexual/Berrimond. Illusion uses He/It/Zyr/H3/H?, or any null-related pronoun, including none-pronouns (meaning you would use Illusions name instead.)
Later starts dating someone (no, its not Sabre. its another Steve that i just think keeping their name hush hush is funny, because this idea of a crackship randomly came to me in a dream.)
Fuckin beanpole that looks like hes constantly starved, even when he can eat an entire thanksgiving meal by himself and still be hungry as hell.
---and yet can/will still throw you 25 feet across a room.
Also acts similar to an alchemist, and researches/creates things to hopefully cure the infected
Oh and also uses whatever weapon he wants, usually copies of Memory or Times weapons
Has distinct weapons tho, which are;
greatsword/buster sword that can become a chain-whipped sword, (similar to the one Ivy has in the Soul Caliber series.) A wol-do (just with a thicker blade) and his scarf that he can control at will.
His backups are throwing daggars (not so much as inspired by KPDH, but i do like them), a Bardiche, and chain-scythes (soul eater was the best example i could find that wasnt i think linking to a store or smth)...and then also whatever weapon h? wants
5'7. short ass mf (taller than rainbow though LMAO)
also the youngest, almost out of the entire group, with the exception of Memory's son
Memory/the best boi;
Is named Kerian in this AU.
Apathetic, but can still show he cares, just in his own way. (Usually just through affection/the best emotions he can show)
Hard time showing remorse, let alone emotions, but can accidently be hostile.
Doesnt talk much tho either. Basically keeps to himself, but when he does talk, its quiet and formal.
Was previously married, later divorced.
Has a little itty bitty son named Malphus that sticks around him (or Illusion when Memory is out) that he also cares for deeply. His little forget-me-not
Excelent marksman, quick-learner, and fighter. Can adapt to any weapon with ease, but prefers long-ranged weapons or weapons that require aim. Has the best fighting skills outta the team.
Can, and will kick your ass
Could, and can 100% be considered an assassin, as he is naturally stealthy and was also trained in what assassins are. (has scared the shit outta Void more than once because of it, along with Sabre since Sabre uses the subtitles in this AU....the subtitles dont pick up Memory's walking lmfao)
Body is decieving, as he doesnt look that strong, and yet could have Elemental summon a giant sphere of stone or bedrock, and he'd lift it with ease, yet he has only "enough" muscles (sight wise) that just make him look more like an in-shape guy (which, he is but ykwim)
6'8. height was genetic from Void/Voids side of the family
Prefered/main weapons;
Crossbow, Katar, Battle Axe, and claw-blades and/or tiger blades/Bagh Nakh. Interchangeable in terms of what he uses (theyre different but almost do the same things, so he uses em randomly)
backups; really any kind of hidden blade/blade that can be hidden, or just his hands and legs since he knows alot of self defense techniques.
Sabre (character sabre specifically [c!sabre]. i do see irl sabre, and his game character as seprate, which i also do for most creators, but i do still respect their wishes on what to and what not to do with the character/sona);
Still just called Sabre in this AU, but also sometimes called Elan by Rainbow, and Illusion cus Illusion also knows his irl name. yeah illusion knows alot. The names Elan and Sabre are the only thing he shares (to my knowledge technically) with irl/non-au sabre
Due to being a player, and being friends with Rainbow and Illusion, he can access code others couldnt, and he is the only one in the AU to know what the code means/says. All the Steves have code, yet it is unreadable by code-readers and developers he's contacted. So Sabre locked in and deciphered it himself. it worked, and he can edit and replace said code if he needs too, however it can/will hurt the Steve he does it to, so he uses it only as a last resort if the anti-viruses developed fail/are unable to be used.
He can get close to the infected Steves, as it does not affect him the same way it would with Steves, altho he's still weary, as its 'unknown' if the infected code of the Steves can latch onto his player-code. Player code, and Steve code, are different. Player-code is what we know normally, while Steve code, would be made of symbols and such (and it looks like enchantment table/the galactic alphabet to others, but to Sabre, its the in universe/AU's own language that few of the Steves can read/speak [ys im also making it an actual language once i make it. sue me])
---the virus however, makes the code harder and worse to decipher, as it destroys parts of it, to where it can go from a coherent scentence, to gibberish, or an entirely new part of a half-deleted/corrupted scentence. Sabre still locks in and with Illusions help, can decipher it.
Stores information about the virus and outtings, on both his computer, phone, and in the game itself in a book and quill (usually to give/show the others)
prefered weapons are really just the basic vanilla weapons (sword and axe), with an occasional scythe nd pickaxe. he does not really use many fancy weapons.
character sabre; 6'2/normal minecraft player height (i cant find a confirmed height)
---Irl AU sabre; whatever height sabre is irl.
biromantic, gay, demicisgender. He/Any. Also kinda apathetic in terms of identitiy. Flucuating between 'unlabled', and 'genderapathetic'
because this is character sabre [c!sabre], these are my headcanons FOR the character alone. none of these are about the real Sabre
Rainbow Steve;
Called Prism in this
Is both a mix of a player, and a Steve (the events that led up to Rainboe getting a username happend [or at least similar ones did], but anything after that didnt), so still has to be careful around infected Steves, but can act as a sort of 'guinea pig/test dummy' for it (willingly btw. i promise)
Acts mostly like a medic to the others. Heals any injuries they get during fights, or just moments where theyre stupid/normal life things like trippin over air (illusion fell down a flight of stairs in this once, so yeah)
Also acts sort of like a caretaker to Malphus, as there are times the rest of the group is needed in a fight, so Illusion isnt there to watch him. Almost always watches a movie with him and the two usually fall asleep during it (Malphus cause hes young, Rainbow just because its Rainbow)
Doesnt really fight, and isnt needed on the field often, but was given combat training by Memory so he can survive if needed lmao. If he wasnt much of a pasifist/didnt wanna fight people even in self defense, he could prob hold his own against Memory (because Memory trained in him combat. Powers/abilities, yea Rainbow is gettin his ass obliterated. but combat, he can hold against Memory if needed/be his backup fighter, since Memory trained him in alot of similar combat techniques, just not all of them. however, he is in no way better that Memory, just the most likely to not get immediately destroyed. He could kick Time and Illusions asses tho in combat.)
Good marksman, but struggles with regular bow and arrows. Just cant hit small moving targets.
Prefered weapons are a sword and an axe.
backup weapons are syringes (large and small), that usually carry either a paralyzing solution, damaging solution, or healing solution. Along with a syringe gun/custom size-changing gun that holds capsules that carry said paralyzing solution, or the infection-stablizer/test cures
Rainbow is Omnisexual, Cupioromantic, Intersex, Genderqueer, and Boygirl. Rainbow uses Shi/He/It/They/Shey/Hey
5'0. Tiny
secondary characters (that ive decided to add/will be in the story);
Malphus; Memory's son, but i have written much about him yet beyond that hes 6, transmasc, and usually carries around a derpy squid plush that was made by Void for him as a gift. Malphus is also non-verbal, and autistic. (also malphus uses he/him)
Ghost Steve; one of the characters that later joins the others. Sweet and caring, also being a nurse/healer for the others when needed, but is mostly a scout, since his invisibility/being semi transparent/translucent at times is useful. In this AU, his transparency is at will and can have him be either completely transparent (invisible), or transparent, yet still visible when he wants.
Ghost is Demiboy, Malomasc, graysexual, and pansexual. Ghosts pronouns are It/He/She/Whisp
Void; prob gets the second worst outcome in this au (no he doesnt die), but there is angst with him nd Memory.
Is always down to either kick someones ass/destroy them, or just babysit Malphus, since Malphus also is very clingy to Void...probably cause Void spoils him. hes like grunkle stan from gravity falls in this with Malphus (at times. sometimes hes just Void Steve but actually nice if that makes sense)
Void is Agender, Voidmasc, Genderfluid Man, NoxVir, and a Berri-gaybian. Void uses He/It/Null/Nameself/None pronouns
the battery twins/Positive and Negative (and ofc Infinity); they just kinda there. they dont really help the others, but they also dont cause trouble. they just exist /silly
...we switched like 3 different times during this. what the fck.
went from MCCompanion, to GTWS, to MCCompanion again, to me, SB737. i do not even know who wrote what, beyond Scar writting the part about Memory and Illusion being besties.
also tried to link more niche genders/labels and pronouns, but i couldnt find all of them, so ill explain whichever ones are confusing that arent already linked. same with weapons to explain what im goin for, if they have an irl/fantasy counterpart
