Clockwork Manipulation Guide
Things you need to know right away:
It is an AU by Kit-replica and myself
It is both gory, abusive and manipulative and should not be read if you are triggered easily.
It is set in the Steampunk Victorian Age
It is going to be posted on ff.net (the first chapter I am working on editing any grammar mistakes etc.)
Kit had made his Vicious Merman AU which I happened to see on his Deviantart- When I first saw the pictures though a thought triggered in my head and I scanned over the story, which helped fuel my idea. That idea was that Hiccup had taken Jack and created an electronic/mechanical tail for him (Because Kit's art is so phenomenal and stuff).
So I went to Kit who I noticed said he was up for an rp and I asked him if we could use my idea as a roleplay and he said yes so here we are!
Victorian Era, with the rich and poor separated in a huge caste system.
There are no real life plants anywhere, the false ones spilling out filtered air but only in the wealthy areas like parks. Only the richest of the rich have real life plants.
Animals are usually synthetic unless they are at farms, which have stations to feed and keep the animals alive.
The air is so thick with smog that on most occasions you can hardly see in front of you.
The majority of the population is poor or destitute, scrambling for work wherever they can, usually in factories or odd jobs.
The World Fair is the best event of the year because everyone, rich and poor can come and see the wonders of the world and have decent food.
Copper is the most precious metal as it rusts in such a beautiful colour and is used for so many things. Gold is second, as it is used for decorations on the copper. Silver is third and bronze is fourth. Iron is the most typical metal.
Amethyst is the most precious gemstone because the purple goes well with the copper, seconded by opal, which is valued for it;s shifting colours and the way that it does not tarnish it's amazing inner colours in the grime and smog of the city.
Bioluminescence is highly valued in clockworks and automatons because of it's sheen blue glow.
Typically money is not paid through paper, it is only coins made of iron, or a barter system used when trading gears or other such tools used for fine tuning objects etc.
The clocks are always on time
Velvet is the finest material next to Silk an only the elite wear it.
Deep vibrant green is the rarest colour, followed by cerulean blue and scarlet red. All of those colours are in Hiccup's wardrobe, all decorated in gold or silver inlaid patterns.
The rain and snow are both heavy with polluted water, however Hiccup's garden (enormous and doubles as a wildlife and plantlife sanctuary for real flora, fauna and his automaton birds) is watered by a deep well that is constantly filtered by his vegetation and three large filters beneath. His is the only mansion to have real water as well, which comes from an underground cavern of fresh water he continually circulates. Because of this, when it snows, the sensors in his sanctuary take the water and make it snow inside as well. It is a real biosphere, only it is several thousand acres across and no one is allowed in except Hiccup and whomever he decides is worthy.
To get inside the sanctuary you must basically be hosed down of any infectious anything as it is a safe place.
Because it is an AU, both Hiccup and Jack are kind of out of character.
Cruel and narcissistic, he loves all things beautiful, but he thinks that beauty is not completely perfect unless it is combined with machine.
He witnessed his mother's brutal murder and was traumatized by it enough to find the man who killed her (a man with an automaton arm) elegant and beautiful. He decided after her murder that beauty was not enough. One had to be both beautiful and efficient.
He is a Lord of the Haddock Estate, owns the Clockwork factory that produces the materials that run the town AND the electric company that powers the town. It is his smog that fills the air and clogs the senses, but it is his company that also produces the breathers, masks that allow the air to be filtered. It's a cruel cycle and he gets money both ways.
He is spoiled rotten and loves his toys
He owns the largest ure-air garden in the city and breathes fresh air most of the time, having real life plants and trees in his estate, instead of the false cog ones that decorate everything.
Utterly poor and destitute, Jack has worked many odd jobs to pay for his sister's medical bills, because she suffers from an illness caused by the city's enormous amount of choking smog. The smog is mixed with tiny flakes of rust and baceria that gets into your lungs and festers.
Hired by Hiccup so a large portion of his pay goes to his sister's medical bills, he's a total virgin at the start and finds Hiccup's hospitality amazing and kind, totally unaware of what is in store for him.
He is kind of naive, but feisty and his ghetto accent (thicker and very old English slang I should think) comes out stronger the more riled up he gets.
He truly believes Hiccup loves him even though he hurts him (Stockholm Syndrome anyone?)
He is allowed to visit his sister once a week, and once his legs are lopped off, he has to visit her with Hiccup rolling him in a wheelchair so he cannot escape. (More info below)
Hiccup has made several automatons so far, all of them humans whom he enhanced. Please note that the more he likes a person or found them beautiful, the worse their fate, except Heather, whom he did so much to test out his knowledge of mechanical anatomy.
Heather- his first and most changed creation, the only organic parts of her left are her brain and internal organs, all of which are housed in working mechanical housings and a porcelain face.
North- Hiccup's Chef and a friend of his father's, he took away his legs at he knees and attached him to gratings in the floor so he can roll around the kitchens but he cannot leave the room.
Ruff and Tuff- the twins came to work for Hiccup when their aunt and uncle decided they needed a good job. Their joints are all mechanical hinges and sockets etc, and their both have artificial spines. They could leave, but their gears and springs stick a lot so they don;t bother. They are the only Automatons who enjoy having their enhancements even though they act bored all the time. They assist Hiccup in his lab sometimes.
Astrid- Hiccup's first crush. Unlike the others, he was so besotted with her that after he fixed her a mechanical heart, lungs and eyes, he preserved her completely in Resin and left her there above the fireplace of his bedroom to look upon always. She sits trapped there in the confines of a painting so he can smile at her face when he sits in his room. It is unknown if she is alive, but you can hear her false heart clicking if you put your ear up to the painting.
Lady Toothiana- A rich aristocrat from a faraway land who's party came into town to do business with the Haddock's, he kidnapped her and dragged her down to his lab where he fixed her bones with magnetized rods, allowing for magnetic feathers of pure green copper to sit in each of her pores. He fixed her with mechanical eyes and wings that actually work- beautiful glass decorated in thin iron and blues and golds decorating her. He keeps her in a cage in his laboratory when not displaying his works of art at the World Fair.
E. Aster- Two years ago rumours circled of what Hiccup was doing down in his laboratory, claiming he was creating monsters like some kind of Jekyll and Hyde or Dr. Frankenstein. They sent a man named Ethan Aster of the Daily Editor to investigate and hopefully come back with a decent story. But the man was good looking and muscular and Hiccup had other plans- he lured him down to is lab, strapped him down and that was the first time he ever did biological experiments. So far most of his subjects had been mechanically altered only- Aster was the first to have his ears replaced with real rabbit's ears, mutated in his chemicals to be larger. He fixed them with gears to articulate them, but they worked and feeling triumphant, he continued. Fully automated, Aster's skeletal structure was reconstructed, and he suffers great pain constantly, but he is Hiccup's greatest achievement so far. He looks like an anthropomorphic rabbit automaton, and he incapable of proper speech, has limited eyesight and is trapped in a subdued mindset, as Hiccup was eager to see how brains would function under such oppressive nerve snippings. He too is kept in a cage in the lab.
Jack is Hiccup's most recent endeavour, and so far his most beloved. He both loves Jack dearly in his own way and wants to make him perfect, even if it meas causing Jack pain. He pulled Jack's legs out of their sockets and fixed plating there so he can attach the new tails when he makes them.
Infatuated with sea life and the book he has on automaton fish used as pets or attractions, Hiccup decided he wanted to give Jack a mermaid tail made solely out of metal. It would connect to his spine and be fully controllable with Jack's mind. So he tampered with Jack's spine and nerve endings to where once a tail was snapped into place along his torso, he could operate and even sometimes feel the tail.
Each tail is unique and Hiccup constantly makes entire series of them
Some of the tails are meant for efficiency, such as swimming or combat etc, while others are made simply for beauty, used to look elegant and have hardly any functionality or purpose.
Some of the tails allow access to Jack's anus and genitals so as to allow Hiccup and he to have intercourse, or so Hiccup may pleasure him as a reward for good behavior and performance. The panels on these tails are unlocked with a key Hiccup keeps on his person at all times.
Other tails do not allow access to his genitals at all, keeping him down and chaste and inaccessible. Sometimes Hiccup will give Jack powerful aphrodisiacs to watch him struggle and try to pry the casings off, only to fail. (Afterwords of course, Hiccup would remove the tail and fuck him senseless as a reward for doing so well in the experiment.)
Some of Jack's tails are pleasure tails, built for beauty or efficiency or both, and have a built in dildo that will vibrate and send electric pulses and vibrations through his penis and testes, to give him pleasure. Usually he won't be able to ejaculate, but on the slim chance that it does happen, there is a collection tube, because there is no way Hiccup is letting that go to waste.
Some of Jack's tails allow for a mechanical womb to be inserted into it, (such as the Seahorse tail, as male seahorses give birth).
