     ( maya hawke, trans female, she/her, fire emblem: three houses ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, leonie pinelli, after surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like leighanne “leigh” phillips, a twenty-five year-old pool lifeguard at the delmare & student at castle town university, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as honest as you are competitive, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : neutral through and through. ( hywia )

      hey howdy hey what’s UP my DEERS ( please don’t murk me ) i’m back with . . . hopefully my last character for a while ?? i don’t really have any plans for anyone else as of Yet - leonie is a character i,,, absolutely adore but never thought i’d pick up in the beginning but holy HELL i love her and i’m so excited to write her and i’m here to defend her from all slander. click for more abt her under the cut !!

BEFORE THE SNAP  /  L E O N I E  P I N E L L I .

soooOOOOO. okay. in FE3H , Leonie is a student of the Golden Deer house/class and like a few of the other students , she’s a commoner instead of a noble. and right off the bat you find out one thing - that she’s an apprentice of Byleth’s father , Jeralt , and he’s her hero and she idolizes him.

this !! was from an instance where Jeralt stopped by her little hunting village and rescued the people of her village from poachers ; he basically taught Leonie a few things she knows , and she referred to herself as his apprentice since. 

it was because of him that Leonie knew what she wanted to do - she wanted to be mercenary , especially one that could succeed the man she idolized.

so flash forward to years later at Garreg Mach’s Officers Academy - Leonie got in through her entire village basically paying for her to go , and for that she baaaasically accumulated a lot of debt from it. she’s really frugal with her money because of this. but turns out !! jeralt’s there , and he brings his kid , byleth , with him , and leonie sort of forms a one-sided rivalry with them since they’re pretty much the next-gen and Leonie wants to prove she’s on-par with them , if not better , because they’re pretty much Jeralt 2.0 in terms of fighting premise and that was Leonie’s goal.

eventually , though , this rivalry turns into Leonie being attached to Byleth through mutual grieving once ( spoiler alert ) Jeralt bites the dust , as well as Leonie making a promise to Jeralt that she’d watch over Byleth if anything happened to him - essentially , filling Jeralt’s role , but not in the exact way she expected.

a few cool things !! leonie is really skilled in hunting & fighting - she makes a very good cavalry unit with skills in lance & archery - i’m setting her up to be my bow knight on my current playthrough - and holy hell she has a LOT she can boast about. she’s just a really good unit and could probably level a battlefield by herself with minimal grinding in-game.

her personality is very honest & truthful , but blunt in a sense that more often than not , even if the situation doesn’t call for it , she WILL speak her mind and give brutal honesty if she believes in it. sometimes , she’ll immediately say what she’s thinking , even if it’s here jumping to conclusions or snapping impulsively. i... honestly really adore that about her , since it’s not very similar to me , but i kinda wish i had her bravery in that sense.

but hOLY HELL is she determined & hardworking and she’s actually a pretty cool person - she’s what i call a chaotic lawful because she’s,,,, a subtle kind of chaotic that still has her own code. she’s also REALLY GOOD at managing her time & money and kind of sees every single opportunity she has to train and work hard and yeah leonie is no fucking slouch and we gotta stan that.

she’s one of the gd members who regularly says ‘fuck’ but also ‘watch your fucking language’ if, like, lysithea or sb swears. the one who probably contributes to as many chaotic fuckshit shenanigans as she tries to fix.

anyways i’m gay and i am sOOOOO excited to write her !! i’m not exactly dECIDED yet in what path i want to pull her from out of either verdant wind or crimson flower , since i love leonie staying with the deer and can’t really see her wanting to ally with the people who killed her mentor ( twsitd , who worked with the empire briefly ) but also a timeline where she follows byleth and fulfills her promise to jeralt - who was also extremely suspicious of the church. it’s INTERESTING and i haven’t figured it out yet.

also she’s a chaotic bi bc i’m a chaotic bi that loves to project.

also okay i just also wanna say pls no. ‘leonie wanted to [REDACTED] ur dad’ jokes they kinda,,, sorta,,, make me rly uncomfortable esp since leonie sees jeralt as pm her mentor and Nothing More so if u could just refrain from tht i would b !! grateful.

AFTER THE SNAP  /  L E I G H  P H I L L I P S .

okay soooOOOOOOO. trigger warnings here for parental death & murder. 

so she survived the takeover , and remembers all of the events of her past life , but . . . leigh phillips did not have a good time here in castle town.

she grew up firstly with a family who wasn’t doing so well - they were happy , certainly , but they lived in a bad part of delaware & it wasn’t the best scenario because there were a lot of times leigh went without basic needs. but they made it , it was okay.

thought things really changed when leigh was a teenager , just shy of sixteen years old when her parents were murdered during a home invasion & she was the only survivor.

still a minor - scared & alone - she was taken in by a family friend and her husband who were perhaps waaaay more well-off than she was. this essentially was a tragic rags-to-riches story , where a girl who had nothing lost everything she had , but was taken in by a loving home that gave her everything she ever wanted.

and in castle town , that sorta-kinda was her reputation. she was coddled & cared for by her foster parents and didn’t really have to do anything to support herself - she got a job at the local rich people hotel as a lifeguard , but she didn’t need it. she had a full ride in college paid for by her foster family & anything she asked for. 

THEN SHE WAKES UP.

wakes up as in , she wakes up with this new past & life in castle town and the thing is . . . leonie ?? isn’t a fan of living the rich kid life. isn’t a fan of not having to work. isn’t a fan of allowing herself to be coddled & protected & sheltered and basically have everything served to her on a silver platter.

she finds out how this happened and while she doesn’t condemn the people who took her in - because they are good people - she starts defying it in any other way. she starts working odd jobs at other places and saving any penny she gets. and this is weird , because everyone else in castle town knows her as this spoiled rich girl who would get all of the best things she wanted and now ?? she wants to live on her own ?? support herself ?? she’s shopping at walmart and the thrift store ??

hell yeah.

leigh’s whole mission is to pretty much break away from that reputation that was created for her in this fake life ; and that , in turn , basically has her trying to morph back into one more like home. she currently is living by herself , but is still employed at the delmare since , yeah , it’s a job , and any job will do. but she doesn’t really want to rely on her foster parents anymore for support , since they did a lot for her but she doesn’t like the idea of overstaying her welcome.

so it’s sorta-kinda a case of leigh is acting . . . VERY DIFFERENT from how she would prior to her realizing she’s actually leonie pinelli from fodlan and not someone else. so it’s gonna be a reALLY interesting dynamic to play and i’m so so SO excited for it.

anyways !! i’m gonna be heading to bed , but tomorrow i’ll be back for plotting & stuff  and will do some replies/starters and maybe even some wcs to get the ball rolling for my girl !! love y’all xoxo

[blasphcmovs]

oh shit it’s hubert , he back , in a crazy funky junky hat. ( jk bt he is back !!! ) i’m gonna be p easy w this intro and revamp it later bc ive been staring at it for ages n like literally just wanna get it out of the way so i can wRITE MY BOY AGAIN SO LETS GOOOOOO 

trigger warning for religion ( and anti religion ) , war , death , and murder !!! b careful reading this for that reason <3 also three houses spoilers, specifically for the azure moon route !!

before castle town.

so pre-castle town hubert. . . oh, what a thought. lil hubie here is from the azure moon timeline which means, being hubert, he did nOT survive. like spoilers but u can never recruit hubie as he remains loyal to edel until his dying breath if you don’t side with the beagles

he’s essentially edel’s loyal companion and was assigned to eb like, her body guard not body guard idk i dont remember the fuckin term when he was like, what, a baby ??? 

and he took that job seriously, especially after being scolded by his father when edel got injured as a child. and well, when everything went down w edel, hubert was the one to chase after her, 13 years old trying to fight down a whole ass army to get to her, which is something he’s really unsuccessful about

after that he’s literally just forever devoted to her. like i think that event fucked him up n u can tell he never wants 2 leave her side even tho shes like “hubert its ok” bc he’s been so conditioned to.... doing shit for her.

by the time he’s at garreg mach, he’s 20 years old. still is edel’s right hand man, they both clearly go shopping at hot topic together u know

byleth chooses dimitri though (which go dimitri, love that bitch) and hubert stays w edel anyways ya hubert fuckin gets murked yall

where ?? well , that’s a secret ill NEVER tell. by who ?? who knows ??? ;) ;) 

also hubert also tried 2 fight god bc i realized i put no religion triggers in here

thats it thats the trigger hubert and edel fought god 2k19

after castle town.

hubert’s really lost here. 

so, here’s the gist. hubert wakes up in castle town with the first thing on his mind being edelgard, specifically his duty to protect her. other shit comes afterwards, but literally edelgard is clearly on his mind bc thats his best friend yall

and being here is... kinda scary in that sense bc he’s on his own for once which iM LOOKING FORWARD TO LOOKING INTO BC BEFORE HUBERT DIDNT HAVE THAT N I THINK HAVING HIM SURVIVING AND REMEMBERING AND HAVING SOME WEIRD CONFLICT WILL BE INCHRESTING..... 

[notdclicate]

( madison iseman, cis female, she/her, fire emblem: awakening ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, lissa, after surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like elise yvette, a twenty-three year-old barista at cafe castillo, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as jubilant as you are whiny, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : heroic through and through.

aww yea boiiiii ( death tw, war tw, food mention tw )

LISSA

lissa was the youngest daughter of the royal family of ylisse and the younger sister of emmeryn and chrom

she definitely acted the part of the youngest, quite childish and even having tantrums from time to time

that being said, she was always kind and lively, and many people would smile when she approached

she never had what was referred to as the ‘brand’ that ylisse’s royal family members had, and so for much of her life she questioned her lineage, though she really was a true princess

despite how immature she could be and her noble status, she joined the shepherds prior to the start of the game and is one of their main healers

she insisted she wasn’t delicate but she’s a cleric so that’s a goddamn lie

lissa is there throughout it all, from beginning to end. in the plegian war she had to deal with one of her best friends being kidnapped, her sister almost being assassinated, and watching her sister sacrifice herself by falling from up high

she was devastated by the loss of her sister, but that was all the more reason for her to continue fighting, and they won the war against the plegians

then the whole valm / almost end of the world thing happened and it was time to fight yet again

she learned that the shepherds’ children had come from the future in order to prevent the dark future they lived in. this was how she was able to meet her son owain, who she adores

ELISE YVETTE

lissa survived the snap and so remembers everything, for better or worse

don’t call her elise, only lissa. she considers elise to just be a temporary name and always insists that she is referred to as lissa, telling people who don’t know her from her old life that it’s simply a nickname that she prefers

she still has that energetic and playful demeanour, but without the rest of the shepherds doting on her and treating her as the young princess she is, she has had to fend for herself, and thus gained a bit more maturity in the process

that said, she will still play practical jokes and tease the people she loves without a care in the world.

while she still isn’t the best cook, she has managed to learn how to work a coffee machine and so she works at cafe castillo as a barista, though she chose to apply for the job mainly so she could listen to their open mic nights and such

while she is happy and carefree on the outside, she is a woman on a mission on the inside: she is determined to find her family and friends in castle town. if she’s here, they have to be here somewhere

she also has owain’s sword because i couldn’t nOT okay she misses her son so much

[dvscur]

hewwo everyone ,, it’s bonbon here back with the long awaited DEDUE ...  im currently at work so i can’t do much but write this intro and try and revamp him from what he used to be but i will throw lots of ideas and etc. under the cut for everyone to see ! i love u all and i hope ur ready to be Sad because dedue is back and even worse than before :Smile: now for what is under the cut ! please beware though, there are triggers for substance/drug abuse, depression, violence/injury, and death/murder mentions. i will mark paras with any of these with a TW. thank u !

( rome flynn, cismale, he/him, fire emblem three houses ) * &. i know it must be scary for you , dedue molinaro , after surviving the takeover . to turn into someone like DUKE MOLERO , twenty-four year-old boxing trainer at jungle gym’s , right here in castle town . just remember that you are as dedicated as you are introverted , and to be wary , be safe , be true to who you are : HEROIC through and through .

you all know the gist of before castle town so i wont go too indepth about it but a lot of things that happened before will be mentioned in his new life in castle town now.

the basics.

his faceclaim is rome flynn! dedue is a sexy motherfucker okay. he is 24 ( twenty-four ), he/him, and his token is his one earring that he still wears to this day even in castle town.

so he DID survive the takeover ... this means that he remembers everything from his past life and 150% wishes that he didn’t!

he goes by DUKE now. duke molero. pretty much the same as his former name.

he is a trainer at the jungle gym’s and specifically a boxing trainer because it is a passion that helps him not only get out the stress of his past life, but help him remember how it used to feel to battle and fight.

of course he is still kind of the same personality wise but i will dive more into it below.

personality & castle town.

in his new life, duke is entangled in so many emotions and so much anger that he knows if he does not keep himself shut out, he will either hurt someone or himself, for that matter, which is what makes him very introverted to the point of being too blunt and too mean to some people if they are asking for it.

TW drug abuse, death mention. a major change from before was his desire for people who did not survive to remember. now, duke does not really understand what happened with the takeover and so he is unsure who to blame. those frustrations turn into cold shoulders, staying up way too late, abusing drugs ( more info asap ), and spend any free time he has boxing and basically fucking himself up. he does not know how to cope with it anymore. he lost his family in his past life and now he lost his friends in this life. at least, most of them, and the one who means the most ( dimitri ). 

like said before, he does not know who to blame for this so he takes this feeling out on anyone who was close to him before. if you didn’t survive, he gives you the cold shoulder like it is your fault you don’t remember him, and if you did survive, he has mixed feelings on whether or not it was their ( or his ) fault that the others did not make it through. perhaps he thinks they could have done better.

the only exception might be with dimitri which i will plot out with hylia ofc uwu.

he is pretty stoic and introverted still but now it is with more of a mean streak than before. he comes off as rude does not really care much about others because he feels, in a way, there is no reason to care anymore about anyone or anything.

TW depression, death mention. this is something i recently thought up but i definitely see dedue going to a therapist for what would be depression because of everything that has happened. he lost his family to a massacre and then lost who you could argue was his second family to the takeover. it’s confusing. he doesn’t know how to explain it or truly feel and so most of the time he shuts down and becomes unable to reason with or talk to. he is just very unhealthy.

TW drug abuse. i have to do a lot more research on this to truly understand and write it but i have a concept thought out that one of the ways he copes it by using drugs. this is very much at stage one in the works so i will have to really develop this idea and research it and just plan it out as a whole. but dedue is just ,, suffering.

TW violence/injury, depression. lastly, when he is not working, he is usually training of some sort. i imagine he owns a punching bag at home and a set of boxing gloves and uses it as a way to get his frustrations out and try to make sense of everything. i imagine a lot of times this leads him into an episode but he always thinks it will help him even if it doesn’t in the end. that also said, i have to do some research on this too but dedue is going to be part of an underground boxing scene where they mostly fight almost bare handed and it gets very violent, leaving him injured a lot of the time with people asking many questions. he doesn’t like to talk about his side gig only because he knows it is unhealthy and not safe and he doesn’t need anyone lecturing him on what to do with his life when he is in the predicament he is in.

that is really it to be honest! im planning on doing a deep dive into both him and apollo where i write and post a lot more of their personality and backstory and current life to get my muse hyped up and to actually feel like im doing something right. but yeah. i will post in the channel if you wanna plot but it might have to wait until either later or tomorrow because i’m at work right now and i’m deadass tired. uwu love u all hope i didn’t break u too much.

***again a lot of this stuff is a basis and i will not be putting anything in set stone until i do more research because i always like to know what i’m writing about and drug abuse is a topic i have never really ,, covered before in all my ocs i have ?? so please bare with me i will be putting in 120% to writing dedue as perfect and as sad as possible LUL.

[burnededens]

   ( avan jogia, trans male, he/him, assassin’s creed: syndicate ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, jacob frye, after not surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like jacob "jake” fowles, a twenty-five year-old bartender at dragon’s breath brewery & fighter at the ring, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as charming as you are reckless, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : neutral through and through. ( hylia gets assassin’s creed on main )

   SO FUN FACT - I have been wanting to write this character in this group for months and it is absolutely a crime that it took me this long to pick him up but here we FINALLY are ! I’m genuinely shocked he’s the first Assassin’s Creed character here because I personally think all of the characters are phenomenal and it was either gonna be this character or the protagonist from two games before ( Edward Kenway of Black Flag ) but I have a slightly greater preference towards Jacob so !! Behold the living embodiment of chaotic good !! Obvious tws for death , violence , and murder under the cut because this is a series about assassins , but also gang stuff ( and a very small bullying mention in the post-snap portion ) too. I hope this is easy to understand !! 

BEFORE THE SNAP  /  J A C O B   F R Y E .

S’OKAY again I will always try and explain the games’ history and Syndicate’s specific plotline in the simplest of ways - and especially because AC can get very confusing very fast. Thankfully Syndicate is one of the more straightforward entries , but before I get into that , I have to give a basic rundown of the lore since... it will not make sense if you haven’t played any of the games.

A long long long time ago , there were these people called the Isu , and the Isu crafted something that the AC franchise refers to as Pieces of Eden. The Pieces of Eden ultimately has access to control other living beings , and they were extremely powerful.

Flash forward a little bit where you have two forces - the Knights’ Templar and the Assassin Order/Brotherhood - that struggled for these Pieces of Eden for two very different reasons.

The Templars valued order and wanted to use them to control others to achieve a utopia - believing that human corruption & essentially free will were what caused most evils of the world.

The Assassins valued freedom & wanted to preserve the free will of the world , believing that control would do them no good and a mutual understanding under this freedom would be what created a utopia.

So basically , Templars wanted peace via control and Assassins wanted peace via freedom.

Templars wanted the Pieces of Eden to control , and the Assassins knew this was Not Good and often sought to keep the Pieces the fuck away from the Templars ( at least , that’s always how I saw it. )

Of course , because we’re now on like ten main games and seventeen spin-off games it’s OBVIOUSLY way more complicated than that , just that’s the most nutshell way to explain everything. That being said , let’s jump more into Jacob & Syndicate. 

SO JACOB. Jacob is one of the two protagonists of Syndicate , the younger twin to the other protagonist , his sister Evie. They were born in Crawley , raised by their Assassin father , but while Evie was always more . . . into the Brotherhood and assassin ideals , Jacob always was more of a rebel & a free spirit. But nevertheless , he grew up an Assassin like she.

Flash forward years later where the main plot of Syndicate starts , during the Industrial Revolution in 1868 , where the twins are set on heading to London , which is pretty much entirely under control of the Templars ( namely Crawford Starrick and his network ) & their syndicates ( ha ha hA ).

This . . . is sort of where Jacob & Evie separate in terms of goals - Evie’s well-aware of the Pieces of Eden and aims to collect them before the Templars do. However , Jacob’s more so intent on taking down Templars & liberating London from their control. He goes as far as to even starting a gang with his sister - known as the Rooks - to combat the Templar-controlled gang that has London’s boroughs in its grasp known as the Blighters. 

Evie’s basically like “okay we’re going to collect the Pieces of Eden so the templars don’t have them bc Starrick will be more powerful if he has them” but Jacob says to her “fUCK YOU I’M A MAN WHO’S GONNA FREE THE PEOPLE” and. Yeah.

Throughout the game , Jacob’s the twin that exhibits a more impulsive , reckless , yet well-meaning approach to problems - and that sorta kinda . . . means that when he solves problems , he also accidentally makes other problems , and his sister has to clean them up because hey , you killed this Templar leader and angered a bunch of Blighters and we are fucked and Jacob can’t really. Grasp that because he’s too focused on freeing London NOW and taking out Templars NOW and [ Sleeping With Sirens vc ] do it NOW and remember deal with it LATER.

There’s a few cases where Jacob has even so ( both unintentionally and intentionally ) teamed up with Templars because he thought they could help him accomplish his goals in taking London back from them.

He teamed up with Pearl Attaway ( a businesswoman who controlled most of London’s transport and wanted basically a monopoly ) and didn’t find out until later that she was a Templar and had to assassinate her since she was the exact type of controller he wanted to rid London of

But also he struck a deal with Maxwell Roth ( basically a Blighter gang leader who had a shitton of power ) to work with him - but Maxwell saw this as let’s cause as much chaos as possible and fuck the consequences where Jacob saw it as more let’s fix problems by any means necessary and he had to shut down the deal when he saw Roth really just . . . didn’t give a fuck about anyone , including innocents. Jacob’s whole goal was to free and protect the innocents , he just didn’t care how as long as nobody got hurt.

AND THAT’S HONESTLY WHAT I LOVE SM ABOUT JACOB LIKE ... Jacob. Is the epitome of chaotic good like he cares so much about people and protecting the innocents & saving them from control that yeah he doesn’t really . . . consider the consequences of his actions especially when his actions are so chaotic but his primary goal is to free the people of London by taking down Templars and he doesn’t give a fuck how he’s going to do it , he just operates on his code of making sure none of the good people get hurt and the bad guys go down. 

Eventually in the game he did come to realize the errors in his own work and way of thinking - he didn’t think much of the consequences , and therefore caused more of a wreckage than he aimed for. He loved the idea of freedom , but drew the line at absolute careless anarchy like Roth.

Basically be a REBEL not an ASSHOLE.

I love this kid tho like he’s so witty and rebellious and chaotic but also good-hearted and will still help even tho he might complain a lot about it ( looks at Abberline and Darwin ) and he !! He honestly acts before he thinks but I find those characters so refreshing esp bc he’s very emotional and adamant about acting on how he feels and his ideals and it’s honestly so. Idk I really like that about him.

He’s also canonically bisexual and that is something I will never shut up about but if you fucking even tHINK ABOUT ROMANTICIZING ROTH & JACOB’S RELATIONSHIP ( like it’s p much confirmed Roth had a thing 4 Jacob but it’s not. That’s not a Good Thing ) I will personally throw some hands with you. 

...Jacob and Ned however-

SPARE NED?? SPARE NED MA’AM??? 

But honestly anyway TLDR; Jacob is a Victorian chaos-bringer who doesn’t really think much about the shit he does but has a heart of gold he’s just. He’s A Lot. He’s a lil bitch but a good kind of lil bitch.

ALSO ALSO ALSO I AM,,,, not exactly entirely sure where I’m pulling Jacob yet like I could pull him from the end of Syndicate’s main story but also there’s the Jack the Ripper DLC which makes me... feel things, but Jacob’s also significantly older than and a good bit of that DLC’s a bit triggering - long story short, we love and will protect Jacob Frye with our entire lives. 

AFTER THE SNAP  / J A K E   F O W L E S .

So PERSONALITY WISE - Jake isn’t much different from his past self ; the only thing is he never grew up with his twin sister , raised an only child , and because Jacob & Evie are meant to balance each other out , he essentially grew up without an entire part of him he isn’t even aware of.

He was adopted - adopted by a working-class family from London that moved to Castle Town , and that was where Jake was raised.

Now , he was always a bit of a rebel. Always a problem child from the start. There were hundreds and hundreds of cases where he was reported either talking back to teachers , misbehaving in class , sometimes even getting into fights with other kids whether it be they were picking on him or someone else.

And he always liked the thrill of being that rebel - being that miscreant that earned a reputation ; never a mean person , never a bad dude , just somebody who . . . acted out. Acted out for whatever reason - mainly because he never liked the idea of obeying or because he taught the rules were stupid or because the rules meant some people were gonna get inconvenienced. Like , if you see someone getting bullied , why just tell an adult where you can solve the problem right then and there and sock the bully in the jaw ??

That was it. That was Jake’s philosophy.

His parents sent him to multiple hobby & art & educational camps & stuff to try and see if he could find some sort of hobby that would sorta get him out of this ‘problem child’ thing - but it never really worked. He always either got sent home earlier or was asked to never come back because hey , you can’t start a rebellion in the boys’ cabin because you didn’t like the way one of the counselors instructed you about knot tying. 

Never worked out , his parents thought he was smart and would make a brilliant lawyer or doctor or something - but nope , he graduated high school , attempted college but dropped out after two years , and when his parents kicked him out , he crashed with a few friends and made a living on odd jobs before he scored working as a bartender at Dragon’s Breath.

And also . . . both fighting at The Ring and also underground matches for some coin.

Yeah. 

It’s sorta-kinda through this he ALSO became aware of the other people who had to resort to means like this to survive - eventually starting his own gang of people who operated on sorta-kinda Robin Hood like terms - protect the less fortunate , combat the gangs who caused way more problems than he’d like , and also to basically uhhh flip the bird to the rich.

You guessed it - they’re called The Rooks and they’re not really . . . big , they’re just kind of. There. And nobody knows Jake’s the leader but it’s not like he’s really pressed if anyone finds out. 

It’s overall not entirely different from his pre-CT life other than obvious modern differences and LACK OF EVIE sooo. Yeah !!

I’ll hopefully work on a WC page for him soon but as of rn I just kinda want to get some threads going - hope y’all enjoy my dumbass kid xoxoooo

i  feel  like  since  demyx  allegedly  never  remembered  his  somebody  life  ,  he  probably  didn’t  care  as  much  ab  the  whole  kingdom  hearts  thing  because  he  didn’t  drink  the  kool-aid  because  like  why  would  he  want  a  life  that  he  doesn’t  even  remember  you  know  ??  plus  it’s  —  he  already  knew  xemnas  &  saïx  were  fucken  lying  when  they  said  the  nobodies  didn’t  have  hearts  JKDWJHSNS  why  did  he  need  to  be  a  somebody  to  regain  a  heart  when  he  believed  he  already  had  one  !!!

whatever  ....  lmao

anyway  demyx  in  the  manga  was  honestly  a  mood  and  a  half  i  adore  him

when  he  was  brought  back  to  the  organization  for  kh3  ,  he  was  made  into  a  seeker  of  darkness  —  meaning  baby  water  boy  got  NORTED  .  his  ears  didn’t  appear  to  be  pointed  in  some  way  (  like  the  others  )  so  it’s  safe  to  say  he  didn’t  get  as  much  of  xehanort’s  heart  placed  inside  of  him  .  bt  it  was  enough  to  turn  his  pretty  blue  eyes  into  that  ominous  gold  .

regardless  ,  he  was  benched  despite  going  through  that  whole  process  which  like  i  HIGHLY  doubt  is  an  easy  one  to  even  do  (  so  good  on  demyx  for  being  strong  enough  to  withstand  it  ,,,  )  bt  it’s  !  to  be  noted  !  because  he  felt  bitter  ab  being  demoted  after  ,  and  ofc  with  a  mystery  incentive  from  vexen  ,  demyx  finally  took  the  offer  of  backstabbing  the  organization  (  read  :  it  goes  back  to  what  i  said  ab  him  being  like  well  what’s  in  it  for  me  .....  since  before  he  got  apparently  satisfied  enough  ,  he’s  like  uhhhh  sorry  bt  have  u  seen  what  happens  to  idiots  who  betray  these  guys  lol  like  idk  ab  all  that  )

so  basically  self-preservation  of  a  slytherin  .  there  i  said  it  !  plot  twist  he  isn’t  a  coward  ,  he’s  just  smart  enough  to  not  throw  himself  head  first  into  danger  .  go  figure  ,  right  ?  like  look  alright  he  may  be  comedic  relief  bt  ...  he  is  also  more  than  that  !

in  the  organization  he  was  known  to  kinda  be  a  bully  /  play  pranks  /  manipulate  others  into  doing  his  work  for  him  bt  at  the  end  of  the  day  he  ??  isn’t  like  .  REALLY  a  bad  guy  or  whatever  .  saying  it  was  the  pressure  of  the  organization  is  dulling  everything  down  ,  because  he  still  actively  chose  to  do  what  he  did  and  didn’t  do  and  i  will  hold  him  responsible  for  it  ,  bt  .  u  know  .  shit  happens  !

like  we  have  canon  evidence  he  wld  join  in  xigbar  when  it  comes  to  the  more  like  .  idk  i  guess  harsher  teasing  ?  and  all  ?  and  like  again  demyx  made  the  conscious  choice  to  go  along  w  it  so  he  isn’t  innocent  bt  ,  i  firmly  stand  by  saying  demyx  unintentionally  looked  up  to  xigbar  despite  even  ‘  fighting  ’  with  him  ,  bc  ..  well  .  i  stan  them  being  a  That  duo  .  because  to  me  ,  he’s  just  a  prankster  who  wants  a  laugh  ..  even  at  the  expense  of  another  ..  which  yea  idk  still  yikes  ...  bt  it  isn’t  like  ,  malicious  ..  when  he  is  on  his  own  ..  imo .  i  mean  take  the  days  manga  ,  he  puts  a  whoopee  cushion  on  axel’s  chair  ?  bitch  pls  ..

(  also  quick  going  back  to  him  being  strong  enough  to  accept  getting  norted  —  please  just  remember  ....  nobodies  aren’t  even  supposed  to  exist  !  they  only  technically  form  when  the  person  who  lost  their  heart  is  strong-willed  &  tbh  ?  i  think  it  speaks  volumes  for  demyx  bc  despite  the  show  he  puts  on  ,.....  he  is  there  .  )

alright  so  look  i  know  i  sound  like  i  am  in  denial  of  the  MoM  stuff  and  that  mayhaps  be  so  .  however  there’s  definitely  smthin  off  .  like  we  KNOW  he  can  be  uhhhh  a  pos  like  the  remark  he  has  in  days  ab  how  the  castle  that  never  was  is  quieter  without  everyone  who  was  eliminated  at  castle  oblivion  ,  bt  —  it  was  always  a  really  weird  line  to  me  because  he’s  always  been  branded  as  the  most  emotional  of  the  organization  /  the  one  who  adamantly  believed  they  had  hearts  the  whole  time  ?  which  .  inch  resting  !  i  wld  like  to  formally  say  ONE  OF  THESE  is  a  fucken  coping  mechanism  of  sorts  or  smthin  bc  it’s  really  ...  a  lot  and  nothing  makes  sense  and  like  that’s  the  entirety  of  kh  lore  in  a  nutshell  bt  ya  .  like  i  think  it  ties  into  the  whole  self-preservation  thing  bc  it’s  like  ,  wow  they  really  went  and  got  themselves  fucken  murked  ...  how  dumb  ...  bt  at  the  same  time  bc  like  again  the  biggest  pusher  for  #nobodieshavehearts  ,  it’s  like  “  oh  that’s  depressing  ”  &  like  .  a  mess  .

( Herman Tommeraas, cis male, he/him, fire emblem: three houses ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, sylvain jose gautier, after surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like sylvain valter, a twenty five year-old bartender at the saturnalia, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as easygoing as you are promiscuous, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : heroic through and through. ( liv heehee )

fuckboy season (fe3h spoilers) (tw for war, death, child abuse, murder)

BEFORE CASTLE TOWN.

Sylvain was the second son of Margrave Gautier, and the only child to be born with a Crest. Because of this his older brother Miklan was disinherited, as it is required for the family head to bear a crest. This resulted in a rough childhood, with Miklan’s jealousy growing so strong that he attempted to kill Sylvain on multiple occasions.

He considered his Crest to be a curse - his brother hated him, his family had high expectations of him, and people outside of his house regarded him highly despite not knowing anything about him. 

Women, in particular, would throw themselves at him for his Crest, hoping for a husband that could help produce a Crest-bearing child. This made him a bit of a skirt-chaser, flitting about from woman to woman without forming any deep connection with them, knowing that none of them really want him for who he was.

He wasn’t completely alone though, as he grew up with his childhood friends; Ingrid, Felix, and Dimitri. They might have been his only true friends growing up, who knew him for who he was.

While not a direct victim of the Tragedy of Duscur, it deeply pained him to see his three friends suffer as much as they did; he tried, as much as he could, to do anything to make it easier for them, and could only hope that it helped.

He enrolled in Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy and joined the Blue Lions  alongside his childhood friends, though he eventually switched to join the Black Eagles. During his time there he had no choice but to kill Miklan after the latter had stolen the Lance of Ruin, their house’s relic weapon.

He sided with the Empire after Edelgard declared war against the Church, in hopes of seeing a future where Crests were no longer held in such high regard. 

IN CASTLE TOWN.

He remembers everything, and sees so many familiar faces in this town - some without any memories of their past lives at all, some whose memories match his, some who seemed to come from entirely different timelines - and it’s. it’s a lot for him.

and he also can’t seem to escape his problems from his previous life - because while Crests aren’t known here at all (thank god) he was still born into a well off family, and combined with his flirtatious habits he still has girls trying to get to him for superficial reasons.

but hey! no one’s being disowned this time! ha HA

he works at the Saturnalia because the music slaps, it’s fun to play around with drinks, the crowds are fun and it’s even more fun to piss his family off for working as a bartender when he could be doing Business Things bc 1) “i’m an adult and i can do what i want” 2) “UR NOT EVEN MY REAL FAMILY!! AND THEY WERE JUST AS SHITTY”

personality wise not much has changed. still has a bitter, pessimistic outlook, still sociable but almost never willing to open his heart up in full, still a fuckboy! but still incredibly protective of the people he does genuinely love and care for, always willing to get hurt if it means keeping them safe.

finally, he has felix’s sword with him, which was left on his doorstep in their past lives. it means a lot that it’s with him, as it serves as a reminder that none of his memories are fake, and that he still has people here that he cares for and can confide in.

there will come a day where i will play both inigo and sylvain while they’re both in the same room, and it is a day everyone should fear

[belleofthebells]

( kristen bell, female, she/her, animal crossing ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, Isabelle, after surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like Isabella Florentino, a thirty six year-old secretary at city hall, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as loyal as you are one track minded, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : heroic through and through. ( mage / she/they / age 21 / est )

(( Hello hello, everyone!! My name is Mage and I’m here to play the part of everyone’s favorite puppy secretary, Isabelle! Below you will find my intro, and I hope you all enjoy!! Also sorry this took THREE DAYS to write, I am not good at slapping words onto pages. ))

Before The Snap - ISABELLE

She is just,,,, a fuckign pupy

In all seriousness, she was the mayor’s assistant in her town, doing any and all paperwork and legal work that the mayor had no time to do.

She also acted as an interim mayor when the real mayor was away.

Isabelle is a cute little ball of sunshine and happiness. Honest, kind, and loyal to her mayor until the end, she really does want to and love working for the mayor, and getting everything done in the town.

My Isabelle is a bit more organized than the canon Isabelle; she’s not as absentminded, but instead can get too focused on a single task, only getting pulled out for her need for coffee or a snack.

It was her job to organize all the Public Work Projects after the mayor got all the funding.

When the mayor first came into town, she planted a tree in town square, to honor their arrival.

She spent a lot of time in Brewster’s coffee shop when she didn’t have work

She loved her older bro! She loved being able to work next to him, but because of her acting as the interim mayor, she didn’t work at the HHD place.

After The Snap - ISABELLA FLORENTINO

First thing first: Isabelle survived the snap, so she woke up in a new body, but at the very least, doing what she loves; secretary work! Still, her new identity, Isabella, has a whole history.

Isabella was born and raised right in Castle Town! She worked and went to school, all in her hometown. She likes how familiar it feels to her.

Isabella is an extremely bright and happy gal. She’s positive and perseverant, but is prone to tripping when wearing anything that isn’t flat. This is only exasperated by Isabelle’s natural clumsiness.

She always had a passion for helping others, and often volunteeres wherever she can if she has any free time.

Isabella’s interests in politics was one ingrained into her by her dad; as a single dad raising an only daughter, he taught her to think for herself, to stand up firmly for what she believes in, but to always be willing to help those in need. He told her that the only way to gaurentee change in a community is to be the one to make the change; hence, politics was the best way to help as many people as possible.

Isabella never ran for any real political office, but she enjoys working closely with politicians, hopefully to keep their interests aligned with what’s best for the community.

Isabelle is extremely concerned that she’s an only child as Isabella; what about Digby? Where is he? While she’s trying to make the best of her new life and being the best secretary she’s ever been, she still has a need to find her brother.

She also really, REALLY misses her own mayor, and can only hope he’s okay.

And Isabelle constantly wears her bell ribbon! Usually on her purse, but she’s been known to tie up her hair in a bun with this very ribbon.
