Hewwo...... C-Can you tell us more about your character Miz? 👉🥺👈
Hello Anon! And yeah, I can talk a bit more about c!Miz. I’ll be a little more general, but if you have something specific you want to know about, feel free to send another ask ^_^
TL;DR- she’s a very complex character who has done very terrible things for what she believes to be very good reasons, but tends to drift towards an antagonist role, morality is gray and subjective, she’s got a phenomenal grasp of the English language and is lethal with rhetoric, she’s a human with faults but she isn’t Actual Satan. Very much the epitome of gaslight, gatekeep, girl boss, but without being as insufferable and she very much knows when she’s doing it.
I kinda wrote a lot under here, but even that doesn’t really paint a complete picture of c!Miz, she’s got DEPTH to her that I’d need a slightly more focused question to answer if I didn’t answer it with this ask, Anon.
So c!Miz (or, as she was called, IG!Miz, before I started using terminology snagged from the DSMP fandom) is a character I created about 5 years ago when I became a moderator for a fan-written and run Jacksepticeye Ego ARG (alternate reality game) called Puppet Collection that was inspired by Overnight Watch (a part of that year’s JSE Christmas charity livestream events) and The Seven Trials of Habit (a part of the EverymanHybrid ARG).
The premise of PC was that Antisepticeye was holding a competition to find his most loyal puppet, but it was never really said why. But contestants (called puppets within the game) started noticing that some of their fellow puppets didn’t recall events that had already happened, or that some JSE video sketches were treated as if they were real (spoiler alert- only puppets who were secretly mod characters were reporting these odd idiosyncrasies). The puppets come to find out that, SUPRISE! there’s a parallel timeline that Anti created where events that are purely fictional out of game transpired in very real ways in this parallel timeline. JSE, aka Sean was in fact VERY DEAD in this alternate timeline after Anti slit his throat in his first Halloween appearance, Chase Brody had been a beloved Nickelodeon star who had fallen on very hard times and was eventually “murdered” along with the rest of his family by his adopted son, Derrick Brody, who is institutionalized following these events to Rosemary Road Hospital where his primary doctor is one Dr. Henrik Schneeplestein (who is also very dead by the start of the actual ARG). I’ m trying not to spoil too much of PC’s plot, while also giving you some context to c!Miz. And yes, this is all important background info that applies to c!Miz, trust me.
Her full name is Dr. Misericordia “Miz” Cardozo and she is a psychologist who was employed at Rosemary Road Hospital before it mysteriously burned down with many of the patients, clinicians, and staff trapped inside. She had a good reputation of being a good psychologist and was generally regarded as very smart and easy to work with, even guiding and maternal at times, with a dry sense of humor. And gOD SHE IS HARD TO TALK ABOUT WITHOUT GETTING INTO HUGE SPOILERS, FUCK ME 😂
She acted as one of the antagonists within the ARG as her goals and the goals of most of the other puppets were in conflict with one another. But I always strive to play her as human and multi-dimensional, as if she is another person you could meet in your life. Unfortunately, that also meant she wouldn’t always share important information, she didn’t share all of her emotions through the discord chat unless it was relevant, and that she made horrible, awful choices, decisions, and mistakes. Like don’t get me wrong, I play c!Miz as a morally gray individual, and she does some very bad things for what she believes are good reasons, and then she also does good things. But good and bad are also rather subjective in the case of some her decisions. Like, legally she would be considered guilty of some crimes, but legality is not equivalent to morality.
What else about c!Miz, what else… she hates liars and doesn’t typically lie to others herself, she is a very competent speaker and uses words and rhetoric to devastating effects. Like, she will convince you that your argument is flawed and methodically dismantle it until she reveals the base insecurity or assumption that the rest of the argument was built upon, disparages it, and then sends you off to do some soul searching, and then you do as she says.
I wish I could think of what else to say about her rn, but I’m drawing a bit of blank atm. But again Anon, if you want to know more about c!Miz, please ask!!!
