lowkey please (what is his design and where are people getting it from 😭)
idk man me personally i just make everything up (lowkey yap below)
In my head he's basically hes like the ranked monster (same as edcr) and lives and breathes speedrunning. I wanted him to look like when he wears his visor people think hes a robot or TAS, so when they eventually queue him up theyre shocked to see hes not a bot and theyre competing against supposedly another human
anyways imagine an au where (anyone idk) meets lowkey for the first time and immediately think "oh thats TAS" and then joining a match only to see him be there.. he then proceeds to beat said person but because his mechanics looked almost too perfect in the replay afterwards he gets investigated by ranked.
long story short in the end he needs to take off his visor for a moment too prove his innocence and then he waves his hand awkwardly to the other top runners who gawks at the reality of him being a bum ass human.
after said incident nobody accused him of having macros again. in the ranked waiting room lobby, sometimes hes seen spectating other top runners and saying some dumb shit in their chat. Newer runners like edcr who werent there during the whole lowkey TAS debacle never got to see lowkey without his visor, so they might just be a little curious because every description that was given about lowkeys face is "hes just a regular guy" and to be fair he kinda is. The only other thing thats common info is that he likes cats. mreowwww
anyways heres some screenshots of lowkey i had saved (and also does anyone have that one lowkey screenshot where hes complaining about L9_foxgirlpawjob in hax's stream)
thought i'd dump all the random info from my google docs into a tumblr post. this is all subject to change in the future because I have an inability to stay consistent.
this is for my mcsr f1 au for my fic in the fast lane (contains spoilers for it so be warned)
i'm just going to go by team. the majority of these pairings were quite random. I've got a lot of common pairings happening in past/future seasons, so this is just where everyone ended up :3
Reset - Couriway & Feinberg:
this team was originally mercedes before i changed names
this name comes from well. resetting. i also thought it was funny to put couriway on the team called reset when all he plays is no reset.
the colours i have for this team's "branding" are dark blue and silver. can't for the life of me remember why I chose those but they look pretty cool. probably smth to do with the loading screen being silver/white?
etho's the team principal because he's my favourite hermit so I wanted to write him lmao - all of the team principals are hermits because I just needed a large group to fill roles, since I wanted to keep other speedrunners for possible past or future grids (surely those happen)
fruit won his six championships with Reset and Reset has won eight constructors (even if I ignored it in itfl because I wasn't bothered to do maths). the timeline is some insanity because purpled and fruit exchange championships for 12 years straight (the world must have been so tired of them) until silver wins the year before in the fast lane is set. honestly. not completely inaccurate to real life f1 considering that the same person has won the last four then before that the same person won six, the streak only broken up by his teammate, then before that another person won four in a row. i reckon it's plausible.
fruit left reset to move to eye spy in the year itfl is set.
feinberg was a part of the reset junior team from f4 onwards
couri's race engineer is nerdi and feinberg's is oliver
their name colours on these types of tv graphics would be a dark blue. also its kinda funny that they'd just say: BigBigMongey or 7rowl but I also love it
Beacon - Purpled and Fulham:
beacon was originally ferrari. i had a bit about monza that was written ages ago and got reworked into a different race I think? i believeee there's a brief mention how beacon needs to perform well there or smth like that (monza is the ferrari race. its their home race and everyone who goes is a ferrari fan, which doesn't happen anywhere else on the scale it does for ferrari)
purpled moved here from eye spy - FBM was dropped for him
his teammate is fulham - he was a rookie same year as couri, so itfl is his fourth season
the tp is grian because red and ferrari
colours are teal, white and black - like a beacon. main one for graphics/branding is teal. logo would probably be a diamond beacon?
Ranked - Silverr & Reign:
mclaren before name change
name based off of mcsr ranked
silverr won wdc year before itfl, ending the purpled/fruit dominance (everyone was very happy)
did not have a great year in itfl year tho :( came fourth in constructor's
their team principal is tangotek and colours are green, white and black - like the ranked logo.
there are concepts of a silverrreign fic set year before itfl but no promises on that one
Eye Spy Racing - Fruit & Doogile:
eye spy was originally red bull (red bull racing, eye spy racing)
fruit moved to eye spy after reset wasn't competitive for three years in a row, in hopes that eye spy would be. it was. but doogile beat him (sorry fruit maybe next year)
fruit's race engineer (the guy that talks to him throughout the race - like oliver is for fein in itfl) is hbomb!! i gotta get my blue bats rep in there.
doogile was moved up from into fire, replacing wallibear who moved to sodium
eye spy's colours are basically just ender eye colours, so like turquoise, green, blue etc
their logo is an ender eye :D
their team principal is falsesymmetry (more blue bats!!)
Into Fire - Mongey & Hax:
into fire was originally vcarb or visa cash app rb or racing bulls or alpha tauri or toro rosso or
they're the eye spy junior team, which allows eye spy to easily switch out drivers between eye spy and into fire, so like if doogile suddenly started performing terribly over the first half of the season, they could switch him out for hax. they would be unlikely to do that considering doogile wins a championship but hey. anything could happen.
hax joined it this year after spending a year as a reverse driver and winning f2. he replaced doogile who was moved up to the senior team, eye spy.
this is mongey's second year
i chose into fire because it's like a starting point sorta, so you're going into the fire? idk if that makes sense? and then eye spy is after the into fire advancement, so its the senior team. and I thought it sounded cool
into fire colours are orange and red - like blaze rods/fire/nether vibe
Stronghold - Antfrost & Poundy:
their team principal is cubfan aka the goat and their colours are black, silver and green - like mossy stone brick in a stronghold
poundy is being kept on solely because the whole team thinks he's fucking hilarious and he brings sponsors or something like that. i haven't put too much thought into it. poundy just has a seat indefinitely
ant is one of the few non mcsr members, I ended up putting a few event players in because at the time I couldn't come up with more people I knew how to write I think. also gives me more options :D
stronghold colours are black, silver and dark green - like mossy stone bricks
MC - Switch & FBM:
mc or just minecraft. idk maybe I ran out of creativity when making this name. i think it's based off of RB (red bull junior team) and it brings some variety to names I think :D
fbm was in. i thought beacon but I just came to the discovery that THREE different people had the beacon seat last year in my doc. how did that happen. how have switch, fbm and wolfeei all got the same seat.
okay fbm in beacon is what was written in itfl so fbm has the beacon seat sorry switch and wolfeei.
switch has been in f1 for two seasons, and itfl is his third. he's been performing well in the mc car so top teams have been paying attention.
colours for mc are dark green and white. like grass block green.
joel smallishbeans is the team principal
Blaze and Cave's - Rekrap & TalkingMime:
name inspired by the blaze and cave's mod. chose this name for this team because mime's on it and he's done a lot of bac related stuff.
kinda want rek to go to another series (not 100 on what that would be) and have lifestealers in that series.
geminitay is the team principal
the colours are red/orange and grey
Pace - Lowkey & 7rowl:
this team was called atum for the majority of writing. like the reset mod. but then I was like it doesn't really fit the other names, and I feel like most casual mcsr viewers wouldn't have heard about it? i know I hadn't so. it was changed.
unfortunately they did not cook this year sajj
rowl and lowkey are both rookies
team principal is pearlescentmoon and colours are purple and black
Sodium - Dylqn & Wallibear:
walli moved here from eye spy when purpled left - he was purpled's second driver
their team principal is doc
their colours are lime green and white, since that's the colours the mod sodium logo use
it's dylqn's seventh season
this team was originally sauber because of the sickening neon green colour, though sodium's is more toned down because I refuse to have anything resembling the kick sauber in my au
that almost everything i have for now!! if you have any questions feel free to drop an ask!
l’appel du vide (fic by @ilyfynn)designs for the main five mores!
indivs + details on hax and pulsa bc how could i not add something of anco on pulsar (they have matching earrings)
some stupid hc(? right word?)
mongey: has baggier clothes to help him shift in and out, matching bracelets with lowkey! his gloves can turn into claws idk AND HE HAS LARGER EARS BC MONGEY idk
lowkey: similar bottom mask to doogile (who has a full face mask (think katarina’s design from arcane lol)), matching bracelets with mongey!
hax: has gold chain on his hat, little flower on hat too! (maybe from rowl idk🤷 ), enchanting magic or something idk
rowl: pin with that has R on it (ranger or rowl u decide), belts to carry weapons and stuff idk
pulsar: pin with A for Anco, larger belt to carry healing materials
similar color scheme between mongey and lowkey and similar between rowl pulsar and rowl due to where they are from, esp hair color and designs(hair braids and little hair piece on top)
rowl pulsar hax have pointed ears idk why tho they just do
hope i did justice for these extremely cool and well written characters :))
also hax is supposed to short. i think hes the shortest yay
