Do the lead mains get any sort of buffa in this au, or do they just stay the same?

Excellent question!

In fact: They do!

But for this buff, it'll have to include a certain Twisted to spawn with them on the same floor! I'm still exploring what this 'buff' is. (Mainly thinking of focusing on the 'Attention Span' side since it makes the most sense)

So, I think it'll be a 20% Buff on the Lead Twisted! The secondary Twisted almost becoming their personal cheerleader.

Like for example:

Twisted Sprout + Cosmo

Twisted Vee + Brightney

Twisted Shelly + Tisha

Twisted Pebble + Toodles

Twisted Astro + Dandy

'Blobby Mess'

After Tisha's violent end at the claws of Main Twisted Brusha, Blot and Brusha find themselves the last team members on the floor. furious. They found themselves arguing over whose fault was who, with their unwanted guest not being too far behind.

Finding themselves in a very messy situation, can Brusha and Blot get it together to make it to the elevator alive? Or will their run end with either of them at the bottom of a paint bucket?

Fun Fact about Main Twisted Brusha!

She has a 'secret' priority mechanic where she'll target a Toon more than the others.

So, if you had a group of Toons that included Tisha. (Yes, even including Shrimpo) M.T Brusha will always chase after Tisha, no exceptions.

[inspiredpixels]

I've been tempted today-

Since I only have a dozen of Twisted left to 'Main Characterised', I've been itching to do the seasonal Toons! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

The Halloween Twisted will be the first, then likely Easter and Christmas! (Easter's going to be so fun because of the juicy, juicy Lore)

SO-

Which Halloween Twisted would you like to see first?

Twisted Ribecca

Twisted Soulvester

Twisted Eclipse

Whilst all the common-to-rare Twisted obviously become 'Main Characterised', they DO follow a very similar spawning system to their original counterparts!

For example, Main Twisted Brusha or Yatta will become the most 'common' Main out of the bunch to see. Whilst Twisted Sprout and Pebble will be the hardest to come by.

So, there's:

Common Mains

Uncommon Mains

Rare Mains

and

Lead Mains (Sprout, Pebble, Shelly, Astro, and Vee)

There are a couple of expectations like 'Twisted Shrimpo' and 'Goobs and Scraps'.

Who'll be MUCH rarer due to their new difficulties.

[inspiredpixels]

Are the original main Twisteds still around?

Yes, indeedy-do!

They're just taking a backseat at the moment.

And you shall see them sooner than you think.~

[inspiredpixels]

1.How all main twisteds became Mains? Its the ichor that overcomes? Or something else..?

2. Are the main characters twisteds like astro, pebble,shelly,vee exists?

3.why dandy is the star of ichor operations?

SOMETHING ELSE...

2. 'Yes, of course! All the original Main Twisted such as Astro, Pebbles, Shelly, Sprout, and Vee do still exist in the universe.

But naturally, they're taking a back seat as their spotlight is now being challenged by all the... *Ahem* Underdogs, hehe.~'

3. Why is Dandy the star, you say?

Well, why wouldn't he? He is the star and lead of Gardenview after all! If there's a show to be put on, you know Dandy's always there to add that little extra sparkle.

[inspiredpixels]

ASKS ARE: OPEN ❤︎

I've decided to reopen Asks for a little bit all centred around my AU; Main Character Syndrome!

For the asks, I won't be giving away any major spoilers or answering any inappropriate/unnecessary questions. (So, nothing over +13, please!)

If you're curious for example on a certain Main Twisted that's already existing, have any theories you want to talk about, what I could be working on next or want to learn a little of the 'ins and out' of the universe itself, go right ahead!

[Maybe a certain Toons will feed your curiosity, hehe]

Remember to be civil and most importantly, have fun!

Has this been done yet?

1/[2/3]

Tyyde the Tide

This dream construct has Twisted into a corporeal form due to her Astro's unique affliction.

Originally created to help with his alertness, she often abdicated her duty so the two could indulge in daydreams. Now that Astro's Ichor-laden mind is incapable of holding pleasant thoughts, she prowls the Waking World for an unguarded consciousness to swim into.

Mechanics

[DREAM TEAM]

If this Twisted appears, the other Oceanids are guaranteed spawns; Twisted Astro or Astro's floor is required for this Twisted to appear. [SEASHELL]

At the start of the floor this Twisted inquires with her seashell. The Toon with the lowest stamina stat is selected by this action. Non-selected Toons are ignored.

[TYYDE FORCE]

Slowly advances on the Toon with the lowest stamina stat up until a certain distance; followed Toons informed of her position through dynamic ocean ambience.

[TIDALLY LOCKED]

Permanent status effect applied when Tyyde is a certain distance from her target. Twisted’s speed is increased to be equal to the target Toon. Twisted will always remain a given distance from the target Toon. Two new behaviors are adopted:

A. Anti-stillness: Tyyde will lunge at the Tidally Locked Toon if they are stationary for 5 seconds, believing them to be lost in thought. This attack can be dodged.

B. Advance: If the Tidally Locked Toon is extracting, Twisted will slowly advance to their position and injure them; getting off the machine resets Twisted to default distance.

[INGRESS] PANIC MODE.

Tyyde is locked into her Advance behavior and approaches the Tidally Locked Toon regardless of their activity. Contact made every 12.5 seconds while outside the elevator.

◇◇◇

“GUH. ha—HAAAH. Hah.”

“Uhh… why is Shrimpo out of breath when I was the one doing all the machines?!”

“He was being chased the whoooole time.”

“Ohhhh.”

“…”

“So uhm, Connie! Were you also being chased?”

“Nah. I was watching someone that was though!”

“I—huff, huff. THIS IS WHY I HATE YOUR BROTHER LESS!!!”

“Oh? OHHOHOHO! CHOOSE YOUR NEXT WORDS CAREFULLY.”

“I HATE YOUR FACE!! IT’S JUST AS AWFUL AS BADSTRO’S FLOOR!!!!!!”

“Wow! I think he just created a new tier of hatred!”

Dandy's World | Main Character Twisted Connie

'Overcome by Ichor and infected by [MAIN CHARACTER SYNDROME]

Once uncommon and relatively harmless, this ghost has turned the floor into a haunting nightmare.

Now able to possess incomplete and complete machines to fulfil a missing purpose, this Twisted can give any Toon a hella of a fright. Only becoming more active on 'Black-outs' where their very present sends chills down your spine.'

Mechanics

If you interact with a possessed Machine, she will automatically jump out of the Machine to attack you and leave behind a new status effect called 'Haunted'.

'Haunted' prevents the Toon from using any edible/consumable items by making them too paranoid. (Example: Candy, Soda Bottles & Cans, Protein Bars, Gumballs)

This effect will automatically be attached to every Toon on a 'Black-Out' floor. Whilst on a non-black-out floor, you'll need to intact with Twisted Connie to gain it. Caution is adviced.

However, her second [PASSIVE] mechanic happens when she attacks a Toon on one heart.

If a Toon with one heart disturbs her as she possesses an incomplete machine, she'll kill them by pulling them inside, which in turn, complete it with the Toon's own Ichor. Making her feel like she's helping...

[YOU HAVE UNLOCKED NEW RESEARCH]

*Audio Recording Start*

'Okay, so describe to me again about how you felt when you exited the elevator.'

'Well... First off, everything was completely fine. The door opened, a black-out occurred. Nothing unusual. Then. The moment we all stepped out off the elevator, we all instantly felt the entire floor get colder.'

'Mmmm. Okay, okay.' *Scribbling a pen against a piece of paper* 'And how cold would you say it felt?'

'Like- Ice cold. Absolutely chilling. Naturally being me, I got myself a sweet item from me head but-...'

'But, what?'

'My hands and lips couldn't stop shaking. Whenever Yatta tried to eat a piece of candy, it's like her hands didn't work and she looked nervous. Like-Like-Like. She LOST her appetite.'

*Audible drops pen. Rodger and Gigi become quiet*

'I know, right?? Impossible. But it was true with all of us! None of us could eat anything.

It was pretty cool at first. All spooky and scary. Ha. But after poor Yatta got sucked into one of Connie's possessed machines, I didn't want to stick around and have MY Ichor use to complete it. So, I ditched. Not afraid to say it. I was terrified in that moment.'

'And how long did this new status effect last for, Gigi...?'

'Oh, the ENTIRE floor, Rodger. From the moment we stepped off the elevator to the moment we left. And boy, I'm glad we left. Caught me out with Twisted Connie ever again. I'd rather stay with Dandy, then with her. At least Dandy let's me use my things.'

'Oh noooo~. Am'I not up to your standards? I guess someone as monotonous as me will never understand a master artist like you, right?'

[YOU HAVE UNLOCKED NEW RESEARCH]

Since Blot's speciality involves pantomiming and mimicking, he can easily other people's body language.

Like for example-

Brusha's iconic walk. Which she can't do at the moment because... Blot... Uuuh. You may want to cool it. Maybe a little...?

Dandy's World | Main Character Twisted Goob & Scraps

'Overcome by Ichor and infected by [MAIN CHARACTER SYNDROME]

Once separate and deadly, these crafty siblings have decided to never ever be apart, again. Ever...

Be far the most dangerous Main Twisted of them all. This Twisted has unlocked the ability to attack any unexpecting Toon from the front bad back. They took the saying 'two heads are better than one' too literally.

MAY YOU HANDLE THESE TWO WITH SERIOUS CAUTION...'

Mechanics

Similar to the alone standing counterparts, they needlessly wander the floor together with their [RANGE] abilities now combined to give them a front and back assault plan.

Equipped with Twisted Goob's stretchy arms and Scrap's [Non-sentient] tail, they have the ability to damage two Toons are once and from any given duration. [Cooldown is 12 seconds | Per ]

Staying out of sight is heavily advised. Either around a corner or behind a wall. Although they are infamously known for their ranged attacks, it doesn't mean they can't get close to harm you. Please stay away.

[YOU HAVE UNLOCKED NEW RESEARCH]

'I told you Pebble to NOT try and distract this one.

You cannot distract them, it is far too dangerous. If it was an accident, that is understandable, but Teagan witnessed you trying to give them the run around and look what happened?? That tail isn't sort of toy.'

*Whine-Whine*

'... O-Oh, Pebble. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell... *Sigh* Guess I'm just... Stressed out after having to put down another Rare Twisted as a Main now. I just-... Well, I should believe that the Craft Siblings who perished together would effect their Twisted counterparts, but... This-...

I-I-... I-I don't know if I-...

No. No, I can do this. We can do this. We'll pull through like we always do, wouldn't we Pebble?'

*Bark-Bark!*

'Ha. That's right. We gotta be brave... And maybe we can give you some custom cardboard armour next time. I'm sure Dandy would approve.'
