OVERKILL is an interactive ISAT fancomic. Vaugarde is under attack by a Theater themed deity named: The Director. A Theater Curse and a Blood Curse attack the lands, and it's up to the Party (who are more fitting to their title roles) to kill them to save the world. But things are never that simple, are they?

Q: What is this AU?
A: Hard mode AU, everything is upped to extremes to the point of "overkill." Party Members fit their given roles; Theater themed villain.
Q: What is the tone?
A: A more intense, grim story. Siffrin's misery is turned up to an eleven. But it still retains the original's comedy and found family themes. There's hope.
Q: What's new?
A: There are two new curses that plague Vaugarde.
1) The Theater Curse, where people become puppets
2) The Blood Curse, where people rot when alive.
A: The King has been replaced with the Director, a minor deity who is actively ending the world.
Q: What Curse do the Siffrins have?
A: Our main Siffrin has the Blood Curse. He's at stage 3 and his eye became nonfunctional due to the Curse. He'll periodically bleed.
His Curse worsens from magic waves or from specific intense emotions. These are more frequent within the Theater Labyrinth (House-equivalent)
Our other Siffrin, "Dusk," has the "ghost" curse, where nobody but a Siffrin can see them.
Q: Who are the other Siffrins?
A: There's the one we follow the story of:
- Dawn (Our playable character Siffrin)
- Dusk (The "goth" loner Siffrin)
- Lupus (The child Siffrin)
- Loop (The unhelpful guide Siffrin)
- Boulder (The dead one under the bolder)
- The Comedy Director (ISAT Bad ending)
- Sunrise (Mirror Dawn)
- The Tragedy Director (Mirror Director)
Q: Do you ship anyone?
A: Not really. I've warmed up to Isafrin, but that's going to be a subplot, same as canon.
Siffrin self shipping is not a thing here, past canon-typical teasing. The Director also uses this is a manipulation tactic, but backs out of it.
EDIT: ok it's gay now. Romance is a subplot but this story involves no romantic dating
Q: Will Bonnie or Lupus ever get harmed in the story?
A: Absolutely not. Only adult Siffrins were harmed in the making of this story.
Q: Can I make fanart? Theories? Analysis etc.?
A: Yes!!! please @/ me!!!!!! tag me! i want to see!!!! While I don't ship things, as long as it's not too suggestive I will reblog it.
Q: Can I use your art for my PFP?
A: Yep, long as it's credited.
Q: Who runs the blog?
A: Starlightshore (Artist/writer) and Pedro Diogo (Co-Director/writer)
Q: What are those Theater Curse tag?
A: Theater Curse and its strains: Comedy Curse, Tragedy Curse, Parenting Curse, Theater Curse etc. are a Curse caused by the Director that mindcontrols its victims to be puppets performing a role.
When you meet Edward Elric he gives off the impression that he's the short-tempered hot-headed "violence is the answer to all life's questions" kind of protagonist, and it's in fact incredible character craft that he's actually the character who ends the series with a negative-3 kill count.
God's worst soldier Edward Elric. Showed up as the youngest member of the Amestrian army, took millions of dollars from them, never followed a single order, helped dismantle their fascist regime, left with a lower kill count than he arrived with, then fucked off to go be a house-husband. Character of all time.
You know, when you said "negative-3 kill count," I, who haven't seen the anime, thought, "He resurrected 3 people?????" But I'm seeing here on the wiki that apparently resurrection in this anime is a terrible idea.
