He’s a transgender male and uses he/him pronouns.
Personality: Genuine
Love Interest: Lincoln Aquino
Final path: Mixed
Fun facts:
- Very soft, loves to take care of everyone around him to the point where he forgets to take care of himself. Lincoln has to make sure he doesn’t forget how to take proper rest for himself every now and again.
- Amalia and her parents were very supportive of him when he came out, as was his own family.
- Has a snake tattoo made by Lincoln on his collarbone.
- Jocelyn likes to refer to him as the ‘baby of the group’ and Abel corrects her by saying ‘the baby that can beat you up if he wants to of the group’.
- LOVES big hoodies and jackets, ones that are larger than him. They keep him warm.
- Speaking of which, he gets cold easily and half the time he has to stay in the house by the fire and can’t go out in the snow unless the temperature is high on winter days, or has to wear extra layers just to go out in the snow.
- He...sort of sucks at physical combat, but he excels at range stuff. Amalia’s been helping him with the former and he would say she has an unfair advantage because she’s a kung fu blackbelt expert unlike him.
- Finds comfort in nature and its flora and fauna. Sometimes you can find him in a beautiful garden with wonderful flowers growing in it.
- Is conflicted on his career choice. On one hand he would like to become a gardener but on the other he wants to become a musician. He hasn’t decided but he is told to take his time in picking out a major.
- His nickname is Bud, referring to a flower bud. Though sometimes Lincoln likes to add flower to the bud to make Flower-bud. It makes him blush every time he calls him that.
I recently got a case of a brain rot for an AU for the It Lives Anthology. Couldn’t resist writing it down even though it’s not in fic form so here we are.
I’d call it...
The Location Swap AU
Yeah it’s a lame name but it describes what the AU is about the best.
Basically, the Pine Springs crew and the Westchester childhood friends swap backstories and locations where their stories take place. That’s about it but I do have several ideas for how things would be different here. Any suggestions are appreciated.
.~.
Let’s start with the crew from Pine Springs.
- Harper and Elliot are still half-siblings here. I may make Marie and Todd live in this AU or I could have them dead before the story begins and have Arthur be their guardian, though the former option is more like how the original story of ILITW plays out, with the parents overseas and unable to interfere.
- Kyle/one of Danni's cousins would take Jane’s place as the friend who got killed. I haven’t decided on which one to choose yet since whoever I choose will be the main motivation for betrayal for one of the girls. Danni was considered since she can betray the group out of love for her family if her nerve is too low, and Imogen is considered to sort of parallel her and Noah. (They lose someone important to them, though one of them keeps a cool head while the other goes off the deep end)
- Tom and Andy are still childhood friends. Andy just never met the other friends here until he moves to Pine Springs.
- I’ve had thoughts of having Josephine and Redfield switch places here though it would clash with canon and the timeline quite a lot. So it’s kinda undecided on what the spirit the gang encounters when they were kids here so let’s just call it the spirit.
- Robbie could be like Connor in ILITW or become apart of the main squad with a nerve score. Haven’t decided yet.
- No idea how Elliot can be fitted into the story, but I do imagine he would try to support Harper and possibly ends up in a coma and possessed.
- I have no idea whether or not I would want the bully trio (Britney, Cody and Jocelyn) to be switched. In the end, I decided no. But I do think Britney needs to be replaced or something since Lily’s not here.
- The cultists from the Society would get switched here. Kelley takes Bhatt’s place for example, and Imogen’s parents will swap with Noah and Jane’s mother.
.~.
As for the Westchester childhood friends...
- Mayor Green’s role here would probably be like Astrid’s. The leader of the Society keeping things under wraps and has been torturing a soul for years now. She, like Astrid, still cares for her children and gives her life to protect Stacy when she’s about to be killed.
- Connor would be like Elliot here, since Devon doesn’t have any siblings that can be used in his place. The lake ghost would try and use him against Mayor Green, but he gets dragged below the dam instead. In turn, any scene that has Harper trying to contact or worrying over Elliot will be replaced by Stacy and her worrying over Connor’s safety.
- Noah and Jane is exactly like Imogen and Kyle. Jane dies from the lake ghost and Noah has to accept that fact, though he would probably have it worse than Imogen since he grew up with Jane from the moment they were born. Like Imogen, he loses nerve more easily than the rest of the group.
- Group nerve is increased 800 since you know, more people here. In exchange, there will be more scenes and opportunities to boost nerve for everyone. Plus probably lower nerve check thresholds.
- Who gets tempted with an offer, I have no idea. I narrowed down the candidates to Stacy and Noah but I’m still unsure.
- Bhatt would probably remain as a professor here but her role would be like Kelley. She helps Lucas from his issues from his parents and taught him that he deserves more than them, essentially acting like a mother figure to him.
- Sheriff Cunningham is quite a challenge to figure out. I have no idea what he should be, clueless about everything or be apart of the Society? Though I probably lean more into having him be apart of them for more drama and angst and stuff.
- I decided that for the fight on the boat in chapters 11 and 12, you would make choices that would determine who remains on the boat and who gets thrown off. No matter what, at least three or four people which includes Devon must be remaining on the boat until chapter 12.
- Though if I do have to default who gets thrown off and who gets to stay, I would have Dan and Lily get thrown off, whoever else gets thrown overboard will depend on who your love interest is. (Ex: Ava is your LI, that would result in Lucas and Andy getting thrown into the water. Stacy is the only one immune to this, even if she is tossed into the water, her mother would probably try and find her, in which case all the other LIs gets dunked into the sea.)
- The chapters would probably be longer and have more scenes in order to give players more time to build up nerve.
- I have two solutions to the collectibles thing. The first is to give everyone an item and a weapon tailored to them, the second is to only give four people weapons and four people items. No idea which is better but if the first one is chosen, then some weapons and items will be free.
- Soooooo, the Arthur thing huh...decided that Cid would be the best alternative. I have no idea why, it just makes sense to me since Devon doesn’t really know anyone else in the family. So eh. Best I can come up with is: parents get killed, Cid adopts Devon, Devon keeps last name and they move to Pine Springs.
- If I were to have Redfield take Josephine’s place here, he and Cid would be friends until the ‘betrayal’ thingy.
