because I am physically incapable of choosing just one original fiction project and sticking with it, I have started another new story and I'm having so much fun
yes, it's clear that the only media I've been consuming for months now has been disco elysium, leverage, and burn notice. yes, it's a cop/con artist romystery. it's gonna be good though trust me
I’m interested in knowing some facts on Disco. So may we please get some Disco facts?
the man himself
- has large appetite which is characteristic of demons.... he can satiate it with "normal" food thankfully.
- as you may know his favorite genre is EDM.... but his least favorite is all forms of rock. This is not an nsr reference but to something else entirely.
- extremely good vision for someone who rarely pays attention to anything other than himself.... and wears those stupid visors.
- while he is from hell he is not a sinner. he was born and raised there.
- type of guy to have extreme gamer rage... so he never plays video games. lillia finds it funny but marley finds it horrifying.
things I have googled while writing this chapter:
fluorescent biomarker
what does it feel like after you have a seizure
which comes first, foundation or concealer
who in both lunium and nowhere train would eat the craziest and oddest food combinations they can come up with? like pickles with ketchup, that sorta stuff
disco for NWT, hes a demon so hes pretty used to eating foods that could kill a human. so most "normal" foods are pretty bland to him. he eats the most insane stuff imaginable just to feel something.
lunium... hmm.... kevin for sure. i cant think of many foods he doesnt like. danger would also try stuff but end up hating it.
other honorable mentions: candella, cassius, veronziska, and robin
OC ask game!
What does your OC lie about?
In what way(s) is your OC bad at life?
What's the fatal flaw in your OC's relationship(s)? What could destroy those relationships?
Why thank you for asking.
I'm going to talk about Freddy and Leo from my cop/con artist romystery because that's who I currently have brainworms about
What does your OC lie about?
Freddy: Freddy is much more likely to stay quiet and let people make assumptions about him than he is to actively lie. When pushed, he's almost uncomfortably blunt. The exception is when his mostly-dormant sense of justice is triggered, and even then, he mostly lies by omission, because he's just not good at it. The only times he really lies for personal gain is to get out of things like work and seeing family when he's too burnt out and depressed, so he can stay home with Ellie (his scruffy lab/mutt).
Leo: Everything. He sees lying as a tool, one of his most useful, and he lies to protect himself, and he doesn't see anything wrong with it. He spins stories for his marks - stories of excitement and danger where they get to be the clever, intrepid heroes - but they're ultimately safe, because if the "venture" doesn't pay out, all they've lost is some time and some money, and in exchange he's taken them on a lovely little ride. (He also lies to himself.) He lies to the world, including his friends-who-are-family, putting on a fun, flirty, exaggeratedly fruity persona that masks his true vulnerability and loneliness. He lies about lying, pretending that the life he lives is one of romance and glamour instead of brutal marginalization and desperation. And he does everything he can to hide the fact that he has epilepsy, because he hates losing control of himself and how when the mask slips all of his vulnerabilities come tumbling out.
In what way(s) is your OC bad at life?
Freddy: so much. Just off the top of my head: talking to people, expressing his feelings, standing up for himself, being happy. He looks like someone who has his life more or less together: he has a stable job, a small house he's making mortgage payments on, a dog. But it's a life he doesn't even like, and he has never once taken a single step to make it better for himself. He doesn't fight for the chance to see his kid (who lives with his ex). He stays in a job that traumatizes him, around horrible people who bully him. He just keeps his head down and exists, miserably.
Leo: Leo has little idea of what current events are going on around him or what normal life for real people is like, and he doesn't see much value in finding out. He sees himself as outside of real peoples' lives, and he learns just enough about them to manipulate them into giving him what he needs to get by. And he's fine with that (or so he would say).
What's the fatal flaw in your OC's relationship(s)? What could destroy those relationships?
Freddy: his abysmal self-image and his complacency. The way he just takes whatever is given to him, brutally unfair or not, and lets good things go without fighting for them, and puts up with things that are absolutely not okay. The thing most likely to destroy his relationships - the thing that did destroy his relationship with his ex - is him just not being able or not choosing to speak up about what he feels, good or bad or otherwise. (And, of course, the fact that he's a fucking cop.)
Leo: needing to be in control, needing to be steering the ship whether that puts him in a more closed-off provider role or a topping-from-the-bottom role full of faked vulnerability. Being unable to get real and let his walls down, always on, always a step ahead trying to manipulate things in his favor, always calculating his reactions. He would say that the thing most likely to destroy his relationships would be the exhausting, terrifying, ever-present possibility of slipping up, but actually he's doing it himself by refusing to ever be ugly and vulnerable and present as himself. (And there's his plan to be in the wind the second he can figure out how to get the fucking ankle monitor off.)
Since it's summer time, which of your characters would go to a water park and what chaos would they unleash on the public?
more nowhere train content!
marley and saya are the type to stay on land in the shade. poor marley can't tan, she just turns red (same lol). while saya is water resistant she'd sink like a rock in water + too much water is bad for her.
lillia 100% dragged disco into the water with her. they brought a water gun to torment him with and he ends up having fun at the end of it all.
polaris would convince henundher to go in the water with him. she has no need to be in there but thinks its more fun with henundher. he also keeps convincing them to go down water slides with him. henundher is terrified but so is polaris secretly, she just feels better when henundher is there.
backenforth once worked as a lifeguard so shes actually pretty good at swimming. she challenges all the others to races and crushes them flawlessly. nobody expects someone like her to be good at it.
none of the trainmasters i think would go to waterparks willingly. jia li doesnt like chlorinated water so they'd probably skip out.
have you ever thought about what kind of chaos your characters might wreck if they had access to social media like we do?
I havent made nowhere content in a bit so i think this might suffice.
Marley: a fandom blogger, really nice and somehow always stays out of drama. Youve probably met a marley before.
Lillia: already a social media star, completely anonymous absolutely crushing it in osu or something.
Saya: Types just like this. Kind of like an older individual unsure about this social media thing. Ironically.
Disco: soundcloud rapper.
Polaris: overuses emotes like :D or :P or :3 much to the chagrin of his comrades. definitely enjoys a little bit of trolling.
Henundher: would only touch it once in a blue moon for google or something.
Backenforth: spends her time starting fights online for fun.
Min Ji: only follows her friends, ratios everyone she talks to.
Cozimo: extremely out of touch business guy trying to be marketable.
Stealer: would never have social media as it is a security risk
Helena: a mix of saya and henundher
Tybalt: Fortuna canyou come help me at the Elevator please Stop Recording I said Stop. (he has no hands)
Fortuna: facebook mom but less anti vaxx
Twelve: backenforth but worse.
Felix: genuine wholesomeness, just posts about his works. Might have a meme page.
Jia Li: has no time for social media
Archibald: runs a group chat for the trainmasters and nothing else.
