Hey, Myx here! I'm kind of a mixed bag, where I'm mostly here to showcase my Saints Row characters, but I also use this as a personal blog (I'm not making multiple blogs for different reasons). There are a few categories that my Saints Row posts will be, and once I'm in a place to start posting again, I'm going to try and keep things better organized and labelled than I've done in the past. So, the sources I'll mostly be pulling from!
Saints Row (Reboot) - Mostly posting as my OC, Jackal, whose 'story' I'm going to be 'rebooting' myself, soon. Previously used screenshots and videos from Steamdeck, but moving to using my Xbox One S for higher quality/consistency. Maybe even streaming!
Saints Row the Third/Remastered: Multiple OC's, though currently what I've got playing is a game where I roleplay a citizen of Steelport joining the Saints and being the Boss of the the Saints Steelport. Like the '06 game but in Steelport instead of Stilwater. Look forward to seeing Kyra "Kai" in action in the future!
Saints Row I - IV: This goal is a ways off, but I do want to make a YouTube series where I tell the story of the whole SR story from the og through 4 as one character, Jaster. Maybe even stream it, not sure. But I've always played with an RP story in mind for my characters and I think it would be fun to show it off for others to watch! someday...
Sometimes, if I have the urge to write or want to tell a story that I can't capture in game, I will make a text post for my characters fleshing out their stories. If you're a fan of roleplaying, happy to join in with that and though I like a few different series, mostly just SR for now.
Jaster leaned back into the old couch cushion that felt like it enveloped him as he exhaled the smoke from his blunt. Brown Baggers didn't have the best weed, but he couldn't show his face around Rollerz territory right now - he'd fully embarrassed one of their best racers recently and they wanted blood for the loss.
"Come on man, I've only seen you smoke those nasty-ass cigs, this is so much better," Jaster pestered Troy who was sitting at a laptop, clicking and typing away furiously, his lit cigarette dangling from his mouth. "Troy you haven't even hit your current one! You lit it, and it's nearly burnt away."
"Nah man, I don't smoke that green. I want to keep a clear head at all times, and besides," he clenched the cig and took a long drag off of it before crushing it in the ashtray next to him, "we've got some Carnales moving something from the docks to one of the warehouses in Pilsen and I want to check it out. You with me?"
Jaster wasn't really a fan of the shootouts and fights like Gat was. Sure he and Gat were the only two to beat all their attackers when canonized, but this type of action was far more up Johnny's alley than his own. Still, all Jaster had to do today was lounge around and smoke weed or get drunk.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming," Jaster huffed as he got up from the couch. Jaster walked over to the counter and grabbed his vice 9. "I'll drive - your ride's still busted?" They got into Jaster's black Vegas, and the engine roared to life.
"I'll make it up to you when the RimJobs is finished with it, but for now, why don't we go to check out those los Carnales?"
Jaster flashed Troy a mischevious grin and put a Ratt CD into the player. Jaster turnes up the volune as high as it would turn, rolled down the windows, and blasted off like a bat outta hell towards Pilsen.
2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod | Hmm, he probably wouldn’t have an ipod but he’d probably like older music, maybe folk or war-protest songs. He’d definitely love Find the Cost of Freedom by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?) | He actually has a pretty nice singing voice somewhere around a baritone~
how/what they like to draw or doodle | He’s most used to sketching out battle plans or maps, but he’ll also doodle geometric shapes and swirls.
Calder:
2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod | Something relaxing or upbeat, but he’s also pretty content with silence.

He heckin loves strawberries. Like, would eat only strawberries for the rest of his life if possible (and nutritionally balanced). They’re also rare enough since he’s living in hiding in an old mine, so they’re like the ultimate treat that he literally salivates over--and that’s just the tiny wild strawberries; he’d be so excited about strawberries the size you see in stores.

Aaaa thank youu <3
Jaster:
2. Does your character have a deep and/or dark secret? If so, what is it?
He doesn’t reaaaally have anything that would be considered a deep dark secret, since part of his way of coping with what he’s done is essentially to own up to it with the reminder to himself that he’ll do anything for his people, no matter how distasteful. Still, there are some things that he’s reluctant to mention or bring up–such as his worries and insecurities or some of his more intense scars and memories.
4. Has your character ever been hurt or betrayed by someone they thought they could depend on? What happened?
Hoo boy–this is actually one of those things that Jaster’s really reluctant to bring up, in part because it can still make him angry if he thinks about it too much. Basically, years beforehand, when the rebels were still living in the Scorch before it was the Scorch, they ran across a human that claimed to have escaped from imprisonment, so understandably they took him in, got him fed and healed up. The only precaution they took was by housing this newcomer in one of their more established camps above ground.
Weeks later, the newcomer vanished, and initially they were very worried, because of course things were still very dangerous and they were being actively hunted. But though they found signs of demon activity there was no evidence of a fight or any hostilities at all, so they assumed the newcomer had simply run off or gone further into hiding.
The next time they saw him was when the demons attacked and leveled the wooded area, scorching the ground and leaving it unstable and barren c: Considering the man didn’t seem to be particularly distressed and was standing with the demons, it wasn’t hard to figure out what had happened, and Jaster is still furious about being stabbed in the back even if they didn’t actually take too many casualties that day. He actually ended up personally killing the man during his escape after his first capture.
5. Would they ever turn on someone they just met in order to save themselves?
It would depend on the manner of meeting. If there is any sort of trust or camaraderie involved he definitely would not turn on them, and he would only consider turning on someone if there was zero trust and active hostilities (so really, not enough of a relationship for it to really be turning on them).
20. What was something they struggled with greatly and how did they overcome it?
Feeling like he has to do/solve everything, which he…hasn’t actually overcome yet. He’s gotten better and won’t actually try to do everything, but that niggling little thought that he needs to be productive every hour of every day still makes itself known.
27. What would be the worst way to die, in your character’s opinion?
A painful death wherein he failed someone somehow or condemned them to imprisonment/death as well.
Calder:
1. What’s one experience your character had that made them very afraid?
Probably the first assassination attempt he experienced. It was before his brother was born so he was still the heir (and fairly young), and the experience of someone breaking into his room under the cover of darkness and attacking him was horrifying, even if he wasn’t hurt before the guards swarmed the attacker.
8. Does your character have any enemies? If so, who and why?
I mean none personally?? But both as a prince and a half-human there will be people wanting him dead no matter what he does so \o/
23. Is your character more physically or emotionally strong? Why is this?
Probably physically, especially since he has exceptional strength thanks to his heritage, but he is very inclined towards believing the worst of himself and being very hard on himself.
28. What is their weapon of choice, and what weapon do they dislike using the most?
His fists probably; when you can shatter bones with your bare strength and chuck people across the room, you don’t really need much else \o/ He does know how to use a sword though as part of the training he’s undergone as a prince. He’d hate whips/flails/etc. Anything wobbly and unpredictable.
30. What makes them feel safe or secure? What makes them feel insecure or unsafe?
Relative solitude with people he trusts and cares for combined with snuggles/physical contact will make him feel about as safe as ever, and he feels insecure when he’s been placed on the spot/is around multiple people he doesn’t know/trust, or who make him feel badly about himself.
ayyyy how about 4, 10, 12, 13, 16 for Jaster! And 3, 8, 9, 22, 24 for Calder ! ;3 <3
:DDD
Jaster:
4. Are there any romantic gestures that your OC hates?
Noooot really? He was threatened with quite a lot during his imprisonment but that isn’t romantic so \o/
10. What is your OC’s favorite big way to show their love?
Probably PDA in general, killing his loved one’s enemies, or setting up dates/private outings with a fair amount of forethought. He doesn’t actually know many romantic gestures so he works with what he’s got \o/
12. What do you love most about your OC?
His loyalty probably, Jaster will pretty much do anything for someone he’s loyal to, up to and including murder under the right circumstances \o/
13. How does your OC show their love to those that are not their partner(s)?
Lots of leaning, shoulder bumps, and general relaxation and playful nature. He rarely relaxes around anyone he doesn’t trust, so letting his guard down around someone is a fairly strong indicator of that, which is generally followed by him casually just leaning against people or being more mischievous~
16. What is your OC’s ideal first date?
Jaster personally has no clue, but he would love something quiet and somewhat lowkey just with the two of them, a light meal and just relaxing alone for a while without having to worry about their various duties. Some sparring also wouldn’t go amiss. :3
Calder:
3. Are there any romantic gestures that your OC loves?
Anything involving physical affection or reassurance that he is in fact wanted and loved~ He’ll thrive on cuddles, casual touches, and the like.
8. What is your OC’s dream marriage proposal?
Something private and not too over the top--maybe at a place that means something to the both of them and the time to just spend alone with each other.
9. What is your OC’s favorite small way to show their love?
Nuzzles :D thanks to his more wolfy instincts one of his default modes of physical affection is nuzzling (which has the bonus benefit of letting him enjoy his love’s scent :3).
22.How often does your OC read romantic literature?
More than he admits to, though still not much. He has a few favorites that he has tucked away in secret places, but he doesn’t really branch out much~
24. How does your OC determine that they’re attracted to someone?
Internal flailing. It would take a loong while for him to admit it to himself and get over kicking himself for something he thinks will never have any result. It would probably be a sudden realization that he looks forward to spending time with someone and genuinely relishes their presence. Protective instincts and feeling affectionate is a pretty good indicator too.
2. If your characters’ loved ones were in danger but they only had time to save one of their lives, who would they choose?
It would depend on who the loved ones are~ If, say, the choice was between his adoptive father at the demon he’s fallen hard for, he would go with Vittorio--not only because he already can barely imagine life without him, but he knows Black would agree and say he’s lived a long enough life. Being a rebel has made them all fairly familiar with the concept of death, so it’s something Black and Jaster would actually have talked about. Of course, that doesn’t mean Jaster won’t tear himself apart with guilt for making the choice \o/
3. Your character is given the choice to either die an excruciatingly painful death or have one of their loved ones die in a painless way. Do they save their loved one’s life or their own?
Without a doubt he would choose to die himself--there would be zero hesitation. In fact Jaster would probably even be flippant in the face of a painful death to try to make his loved ones feel better. The way he sees it, he’s endured plenty of pain so what’s a little more, even if it would end in his death.
4. Your character has the opportunity to fix one of their most grievous mistakes, but doing so will ensure that they never meet at least one of their loved ones and they will not have any memory of their relationship with those loved ones. Do they take the chance to fix the mistake anyway?
He would hate himself for it, but he wouldn’t take the chance. He’d certainly try to talk himself into it depending on the severity of his mistake, but at the end of the day he just wouldn’t be able to do it \o/
Calder:
1. What would your character what their last words to be, and who would they want to say them to?
Calder would probably want to be with his lovely guard, and probably say something to the effect of being so glad to have met him and how much he always appreciated his acceptance~
5. What are your character’s deepest regrets?
Honestly, he doesn’t really have many?? Like he very much regrets not spending more time with his mother before she died, or wishes he’d tried harder to prove to his father that he wasn’t dangerous (though that’s more his perception than anything), but the strongest regret would be attacking two of his previous guards (who had attacked him), and even that he’s turned more into self loathing than regret.
8. How was your character first introduced to the concept of death? How did they react?
With his mother’s death and he was a wreck \o/ He was so deeply attached to her, definitely a momma’s boy, and he was inconsolable for quite some time once he really realized that she wasn’t going to wake back up. And even if he wasn’t the heir, he was still a prince, and thus pressured not to show too much grief in public, not to mention his sister was still very young and needed care, so he didn’t really get a great chance at processing her death very well.
