Hells to the Bells

[californiannostalgia]

The thing about Vox Machina is that they are a frat party that woke up one morning after a drunken bender and decided to hunt down the serial killers who murdered their friend's family. One thing happened after another and they ended up taking out some very bad individuals in power at great personal cost, which propelled them to mythic status.

But fundamentally, VM is a college frat party that got impossibly attached to each other in the process of trying to do some good.

The Mighty Nein are a group of confrontational, distrustful pariahs who are vulnerable to outside influences that try to manipulate them into a villain arc. But after they completed trauma dumping and crisis bonding, they closed ranks and ground every single one of their personal demons to smithereens.

In essence, the MN are an exclusive, protective battle blender that only saves the world in order to save each other.

Bells Hells are defined by extreme stress. VM was trying to save the world, and the MN were on a self-actualization journey. Bells Hells have to do both of these things at once.

They're quick to trust, which opens them up for numerous betrayals. They don't have enough power to protect against the losses of friends or family. All they've got going for them is their collective aura of tragic weirdness and their full-on willingness to kill immortals (fucking delilah).

In a way, BH view themselves as monstrous abominations. They gain trust from the unlikeliest people and will try to befriend you if they think you're a fascinating monster like them. They've never agreed on anything ever, but they're open to a lot of impossible things and take it in stride. After all, their own existence is an impossibility. And I think that's fucking special.

Cg!Prototype

REMINDER this is completely PLATONIC and not sexual and/or romantic in any way.

He is not one for nicknames himself. Calling him one does seem to irritate him. So call him Ollie at most and nothing more. He call you sun or flower. Only using those two interchangeably and never your real name. 

On how you two (aka 1006 finding you) met it was when you first arrived. He watched you. How well you completed the game station, how you learn in the school, what you do in home sweet home. You werent aware for a few days but he made sure you were afterwards by leaving you a phone (similar to player’s but without buttons and only speakers) 

Why he felt drawn to you isnt revealed to him at first. He simply knows he is and needs to pursue it. But who would have figured his pursue is an obsessive and possessive one 

If you were friends with other bigger bodies and they happen to become apart of him and you question 1006 about it he simply says they’re extra parts. Your friends are still wandering on higher levels and these are simply spare parts of theirs, that is what he convinces you. Even if you don’t believe it what else is there to do? He lies to you but only to protect your innocent mind 

If you’re different, you’re innocent. Guilty, violent, and evil is all the same to him but innocence is not. He wants to keep it that way as well. He wants to protect and keep it in a case for safe keepings. He doesn’t hide the fact he sees you this way, if you question him he will answer bluntly 

You’re very alone there. sure there are smiling critters and prototype (+ bigger bodies before they died if you’re in that time line) but other than that you’re quite alone. You can play pretend and house all you want while being in your nursery all day without being interrupted. But then you don’t have anyone to really talk to other than the prototype using the phone. 

Physically he cannot do much to help you since you’re extremely fragile in his eyes (can physically do so when needed but avoids it to not accidentally break bone or tear skin. Since he has a lot of metal and sharp edges on him) but he will always help you mentally. He does wish to help you change your diaper or dress you up but his claws are much too sharp for you. But hours he could spend talking to you, mostly on the phone though, he does like to be wherever he can fit into inside playtime. 

If you like to wander, he isn’t a fan of that. He likes to keep you in the labs or low levels when you explore and always an eye on you. If you try to test this he does not appeal to it. Sneaking out is futile, he simply steps in front of you then scooped up and placed back into your nursery and now it’s locked. 

For you he tends to use Ollie’s voice. He doesn’t want his distorted voice to come out and disturb you. But any voice you request he can do and will do it for a special sunshine 

I see him showing his love through acts of services, quality time, and gift giving. Paci fell out of your mouth in your sleep? It’s some how back in your mouth in the morning and you notice your room is more organized than you left it. You’re never out of his sight so that’s quality to him and it takes up all of his time so quality time for him. And the gifts are many. He retrieve them from home sweet home (a bit morbid it’s dead kids toys but hey they’re toys!). Anything that catches his eye he makes sure to bring back to your nursery. Like a collection of trinkets and you’re the star of the trinkets, all placed in one room.

He is very specific with who can interact with you. Player, poppy, and anyone on their side is not allowed to know of you, let alone you know of them. He does not ever let you know of ms gracie or anyone who was involved with playtime. Most bigger bodies under his control can play with you. He does all of this to not taint your innocence with their rottenness as he says. 

He has often goes silent if you’re upset or throwing a tantrum. He takes a few moments to process and think on what he does first. Typically he removes anything that can hurt you, then sits with you, then talks with you once you’re calmed down. If you’re upset over the phone he uses vents in your room to let his hand move anything dangerous from you, afterwards he waits on the phone til you’ve calmed yourself. Either way he patiently talks through them. Patience, something he rarely spares but spares it for you. 

You are one of the reasons why the lab are so hidden and protected by the prototype. No one is allowed inside the labs or your nursery. You’re only allowed to visit others when you’re outside the labs and in a low level (as he can control and make sure everything go smoothly down there). No exceptions. 

An: I have been in the fandom for so long but just now playing the games and digging deeper into the lore. I’m on chapter four. This is probably highly mischaracterize, I havent played chapter5 yet and only seen some game play
