DD2 text posts: NPC's (with spoilers!)

[strangewonderful]

dorian major is a singer with the stage name siren, who andie meets through the band scene while following heart attack around. they hit it off and while heart attack will always be her band, we all know andie and how easily she makes friends.... which here soon blossoms into more than friends. andie and dorian date during part of the summer and into andie's first year at esu!! it's not quite whirlwind, but it's not not. love blossoms quickly with both of them and while they're together the world is very much like a romcom: so many sweet romantic moments, picture-perfect dates and summer evenings spent together, dorian dedicating songs to andie in front of adoring crowds. everything is brighter, more vibrant, the birds sing sweetly.

except it's not the birds. it's dorian.

he's (although he doesn't realize it while dating andie) a mutant with the ability to manipulate reality. his powers begin to manifest for the first time via a world that he has concocted where his crush on andie is reciprocated and he... makes her fall in love with him. the very worst part about this being that he isn't even aware it's happening. he thinks that his romcom, movie musical fantasy is real, until romeo wakes him up to the truth.

there's no ill will between him and andie, of course there's not. she loved him, for a while, even if it wasn't real. she helps get him set up with xavier where he can learn to control his powers and they remain friends, so much so that when his powers develop more and he loses control of them again a few years down the line, andie is there to help him pick up the pieces again. | pin board!

been rotating the kanjoh battle frontier some more,, & i do have it be a kanjoh one despite games-wise johto having a frontier because. it's literally just a copy-paste of the sinnoh frontier, so it literally does not count. anyway. thinking about the frontier brains in it.. all a little inexperienced when recruited, all a little green still, but eager bibarels who managed to defeat either the hoenn or sinnoh frontiers at some point & were recruited by enishida for the shiny experiment of a cross-region frontier, securing further the ties between kanto & johto's battle communities. the frontier has given challenge enough, the brains are hardly pushovers, but it hasn't quite yet caught on as a goal comparable to the league like the hoenn & sinnoh frontiers to their respective leagues.

stationed in kanto, studio artist of the battle studio: kanon. ace pokémon: smeargle. one of the first recruits. the battle studio is located along route 14, a facility that functions as a massive canvas, materials & mediums strewn along the battlefield which is stripped of paint after each challenger after she's cataloged the aftermath. the rest of the facility is caked in layers of art material.

stationed in kanto, ring host of the battle ring: sota. ace pokémon: lopunny. recruited while the frontier was an active work in progress. the battle ring is located along route 5, styled after an old-school boxing arena, edges of the battlefield bordered by elastic rope. spectators are invited to watch the match as though it were a real boxing match, with paper tickets available at entry for pay-what-you-want.

stationed in johto, park ranger of the battle park: tatsuo. ace pokémon: shiftry. recruited while the frontier was an active work in progress, a retired top ranger who now patrols only the park area. the battle park is located along route 31 & is also an actual reserve that can be accessed by anyone, but it has a section cleared out for the purposes of battle, largely as a recreational spot for trainers passing through.

stationed in johto, stage conductor of the battle stage: yachiyo. ace pokémon: clefable. one of the first recruits. the battle stage is located in goldenrod, on the opposite side of town as the gym. yachiyo part-times as a conductor for a local orchestra, hosts rehearsals in the battle stage, & has the musicians go into the grandstands when challengers come. she times her attacks to be on rhythm with the orchestra & changes the tempo of her conduction to match the pace of battle.

stationed in johto, dock angler of the battle dock: shingo. ace pokémon: cloyster. one of the first recruits. the dock is located along route 40 & is primarily a fishing dock rather than a boating one. battle happens across the dock, disused boats, & floating supports. the challenger has a choice between a standard 3v3 or a 1v1 with himself & challenger fishing out the pokémon they're going to use in battle.

bones of their visuals in order,,,,,

npcs + important people in parker's life.

also known as the countdown killer, though he is yet to be properly discovered by parker or the authorities. nathan has been killing since his 20's, leaving a steady trail of bodies, even now that he was hitting his 50 year mark. nathan killed parker's parents when parker was 12, and parker has been hunting him ever since. the first time they crossed paths in his adult years, nathan tried encouraging the darker side out of parker, which caused the agent enough hesitation for nathan to get away. parker vows not to let that happen again. nathan is a wildly charismatic family man who kills because of a religious delusion he had when he was 21.

amelia was the first woman parker had ever fallen in love with. they met in college. she was the complete opposite of him, which parker supposed is why he had been so infatuated with her. they had only been together 7 months before amelia revealed she was pregnant. panicked, the couple eloped and had a shotgun wedding. the marriage lasted an unhappy 3 years - parker was distant, drank too much, and was an absent father and husband. amelia asked for a divorce, and parker allowed her to keep the house. parker feels tremendous guilt for ruining amelia's life ( she had been on track to become a lawyer, but had to stay home and take care of their daughter, instead ). they talk, sometimes, when amelia drops their daughter off for parker's alternating weeks in watching sonny, but there is still plenty of tension between them. played by @roseguided.

content to be alone, parker had lashed out when he realized his supervisor was transferring a partner to him. he didn't like lara when she first arrived, mostly because she had never been afraid to stand up to him. over the next few months they worked together, yelling and arguing was a regular thing, interjected with short intervals of drinking and talking with one another. opening up over time, parker began to realize that lara saved him, in a way. she never backed down, always told him how it was ( held him when he needed it, kissed him like he meant something in the world ). now, lara was the only thing keeping parker afloat. played by @giallifilm.

despite being a shit father, sonny was parker's pride and joy. he can rarely fathom how much he loves her, which adds to the guilt of him not being able to be what she really needs. she's smart like her mother, and ready to stand up for anyone like her father. parker gets her every other week, which doesn't always go exactly to plan. parker can feel the resentment start to grow within his daughter every time he has to cancel their plans, but he always tries to make it up to her. they share a love for grunge rock and punk bands, often sharing earbuds while they're home or going for a walk in the park. he loves him more than anything, but still doesn't know how to properly show it.

supervisory special agent cassandra kim might be the only person who can calm parker down when he's ready to explode. she's seen what he's like when he's drunk, when he's exhausted, when he's angry. this stern, take no shit woman always knows exactly the right thing to say to help parker think just a minute more before doing something irrational. parker wouldn't admit it aloud, but he was grateful to have her as his boss - he imagined having anyone else would ensure his resignation immediately upon arrival.

she was sick, and he was hopeless, which meant that julianna and parker ran around the city without a care in the world. always wanting to get away from the foster family that didn't give a shit about them, they would do everything together, never thinking about the consequences, only living in the moment. he often took care of her, especially when her illness got worse, and when she was bullied for using her oxygen tank, he would fight those that had anything to say about it. deciding at 17 he was going to run off and make his own life, he offered to take jules with him, only for her to be put in the hospital shortly before he left. they kept in touch over the years, parker glad to hear she got better as she aged. they often meet up for coffee, and take care of each other when they're at their lowest. they've been to aa meetings together, just as they've gotten black out drunk together.

AGE : eternal SPECIES : knight of hell JOB : varies depending on her mood

    INTRODUCING :    aurelia. aurelia, is the only female knight of hell. and to put it lightly [ ... ] she is also lucifer's favourite. the golden child, his favourite warrior. his named leader of his army. which is amusing, given she can't fucking stand him. she hates both him, and his agenda.

                it was of course, never always this way. for eons, aurelia was the favoured daughter, and wrecked whatever damage lucifer asked of her. she relished in killing angels, in torturing humans. in twisting the world into lucifer's agenda. she was also behind     ━  the birth of half demons.   half demons that were related to the knights. understanding, that if she and her 'brothers' were able to get the select ones of the angelically blessed bloodline to have children with them. then they would have the perfect little army. an army that could do more on earth, than the demons could. an army that could slip under the radar, and cause havoc when needed. which was why aurelia was the one, who found the set bloodlines that were needed. her tireless work, being the solution. to the building, of the perfect army.

                things of course started to change     ━   when aurelia became a mother herself.   she'd told herself all through the pregnancy, that she'd be fine leaving her child with it's father. and never interacting. that she'd handle the rule set in place by the angels, and by lucifer, that once the children were born. the knights could not influence their destinies. and that the children had to find their own way. aurelia believed she could stick to this. she just never expected her motherly instincts to outweigh her previous alliance to lucifer. and leaving her first born son behind, tore out the heart she didn't know she had. unlike her brothers, she couldn't remain emotionless, and she missed her baby, ever single day the two were separated. to the extent that lucifer, personally killed the child. hoping it would correct aurelia's temperament. and get him his warrior back.

                aurelia grew hateful of what lucifer did. hating him for killing her child. but she knew she couldn't go up against the devil. that was not her destiny. it was instead the destiny     ━  of one of the children.   so instead she plays it safe. she pretends to be his warrior. she pretends to be loyal. and as she has more children she keeps her longing, deep within her. something she manages by checking on them every now and then. mindful to not get too close lest she enact the wrath of the angels as well as lucifer. but the whole time aurelia bides her time. knowing that her revenge, would come one day. and it does, in the form of her niece.

                aurelia hears about payne     ━  when she dies.   and the knight wishes with everything, that she could get her niece out of the hands of elijah. but knew she couldn't interfere. so instead she watches. watches the way drakos manages to interfere and once more, hates that she can't interfere. as sure drakos wasn't her true brother, but to her these children were family. the knights had been together for so long, that it was only how she could see them. but soon aurelia's time come, and she is able to tell payne the truth. th truth of her father [ ... ] as well as her true nature. for aurelia could feel it. payne was the strongest one born. the one they'd all heard would either lead the army of hell. or would destroy it from the inside out. and if aurelia guessed correctly. payne was aiming for the latter.

                and when payne kills two knights of hell     ━  aurelia feels a sense of pride .   knowing that finally the cycle of pain, would one day come to an end. sure she had a feeling that one day, the young demon would kill her too. but with the way things were going, there was only one truth she cared about. and that was, that lucifer wasn't going to win this war. and that was all she truly, hoped would one day come to pass.

reintroducing: ayush dahiya

has there ever been a sweeter deal than this? ayush dahiya (josh heuston) doesn't think so. he gets to travel around with his girlfriend - his soulmate - omisha kaushal. they get to tag team ghosts and monsters. they get to help the dying. they understand dead. they understand it'll never touch them so long as they remain dharmadutas - so long as they remain in the service of dharmadeva zaman.

truth be told, he hated it at first. the ghosts and monsters were annoying, but not half as annoying as the people who'd died and whose souls he was supposed to escort to dharmadeva's abode. always whining and whinging. yammering about how they're shouldn't be dead, about how it's a mistake. he'd only joined upon his mom's insistence that he should actually do something with his life.

after all, his mom (vidya balan) made it quite clear that he couldn't hide forever behind the near death experience that shaped his youth and allowed him to see spirits and sense prana.

then he ran into vena zaman (santhosh sreeram) - the only son of sunita and only grandson of dharmadeva, and no one's saying nepotism out loud but they're all thinking it; ayush was thinking it, at the very least, because vena spent an awful lot of time on earth, with the living - who told him in no uncertain terms that his abilities would be sealed away and that he'd be kicked out, if not killed outright, if he didn't get his act together.

in order to get some assurance that ayush would, in fact, get his act together, vena assigned ayush a partner.

that partner had been omisha kaushal (ashley ganger) - a spitfire of a girl whose loyalty to dharmadeva and her fellow dharmadutas far outshone his own.

though that is not to say that she didn't know how to have any fun. ayush can personally attest that omisha does, in fact, know how to party.

anyway, it had been everything at first sight for these two: love, lust, loathing.

and vena's plan had worked. ayush got his act together and he and omisha have been a team ever since. and sure, omisha is very possessive but it's actually kinda hot, and hey. it's nice to be wanted. and the sex is mindblowing.

if asked, ayush would say that things were good until they weren't and, honestly, he blames the little planet hopping dvarapala for it. udyati rao (maitreyi ramakrishnan) didn't have to antagonize kalindi zaman (aishwarya rai). she didn't have to swear a vachan - a verbal vow with physical consequences if not fulfilled - but she did it anyway. and now she can't even tell them why she swore that vow in the first place!

shame, that.

it sent vena spiraling. it almost cost him his relationship.

in another life, he might've called her a friend.

in this life, he calls her an enemy.
