Myth in training / 1x1x1x1 + Shed concept
i've been pretty stuck on an idea for my own little story between Shedletsky and 1x1x1x1. It's not too well thought out quite yet, but I'd be curious on anyone's opinion of it!
Essentially, its using the common basis of 'Telamon gives up divinity and demotes themself,' but a little different. Upon coming to the conclusion that they were in fact NOT perfect, Telamon decided that the best course of action was to completely rid themself of 'imputities.' Henceforth and so on theres the whole dramatic ritual you've heard this part before.
The result of the ritual is 1x1x1x1 and Shedletsky. It was INTENDED for Telamon to survive as a somewhat weakened but 'purified' version of himself. The actual result was two extremely unstable halves. 1x1 was the 'removed' half ( negativity, hate, etc ) and shedletsky was the more wanted end of it ( excitement, ego. )
Fairly early into the creation of these two, labels are put down ( the ritual was supervised by Builderman as extra precaution. )
A small thing to note in this verse, 'Myths' and 'hackers' are of same relativity to 'Admins' and 'moderators,' the difference being defined by intent, appearance, and occionally origin. Telamon was a Myth by technicality, however preferred being around the Admins to the point his classification was overlooked.
Both Myths and Admins feed off of belief and percieved influence, however myths feed more off of fears and anxieties while Admins feed off of trust.
Shedletsky was still unconcious around this time ( he hadn't inherited the resiliance that came with anger, ) but 1x1 was rather fast to start fighting with Builderman. It wasn't a long lasting or overly important fight, as 1x1 was still too fresh to be of any power, but it resulted in them deciding to leave off on their own to avoid dealing with the aftermath of the split. (( Shedletsky was taken in by Builderman, since he was still OUT. ))
Things go decent from there, mostly.
Shedletsky, as he starts growing into the HQ, is a little freak of a person. Bad staring habits, unintentionally following people around, creeping up on people. Never intentional, just instinct, of course! Instinct is easily corrected, so they did. Builderman encouraged more social habits and made sure he worked to fix the bad ones ( Builderman was rather anxious of anything going wrong. ) It wasn't easy for Shedletsky to change, but he eventually managed to blend in rather well.
The only downside to this was that it was incredibly draining for him, and unknowingly physically draining as well. Due to the 'belief' that came with being labelled an 'admin' brough, his needs were somewhat satisfied, but never enough. That was alright in his book, but not so much so for the one he still shared a soul with, apparently.
1x1x1x1, despite getting as far away from the Admins as possible, could still very much feel the tether he had to Shedletsky, and the starvation he was radiating was rather annoying. Surely the man would be able to hunt by now, right?
The increasingly pathetic bond said otherwise, so 1x1 ended up leaving their own abode to see why the hell the man wasn't feeding. They spent a few months hanging out in the darker corners of cities to keep an eye on Admin activity, where it eventually became clear that Shed simply hadn't made an effort at all, trying to conform to Admin morals.
That simply wasnt going to do. As much as 1x1 regarded Shedletsky as a pathetic excuse for a counterpart, they were practically siblings, and they couldn't stand to have their own image slandered amoung the other myths by having their opposite parading around as some self-righteous helper.
Long story short from there, big fight happens as 1x1 goes to 'retrieve' Shedletsky for 'proper education on existing' and the Admins don't take well to that. Too bad for them, Shedletsky is awful at following instruction to stay put. After a somewhat sad struggle ( 1x1x1x1 is objectively stronger due to the uneven split but there was still a fight put up,) Shedletsky ends up essentially chained down to a raggedy sofa with a broken chalkboard infront of him and an extremely annoyed 1x1 ranting to him about how stupid he is, and how he's going to have to 'stop acting like a discord myth and actually start doing his job.' Whatever that meant.
You guys can use your imagination from there, but thats basically the premise, thank you for coming to my TED Talk. If this is a decent concept, I wouldn't mind hearing thoughts or ideas? (( im also unsure if I'd like to make a comic, fic or mayB an askblog of them later on. ))
