Aeternum Dolorem is an AU of my world that mimics Dead by Daylight (a game I know the premise of but have never played nor gotten into), which is a game riddled with killers with powers to massacre everyone, survivors with perks to.. well.. survive, and a timer to note how long the suffering of the game's round will last. Basically a run, gather, hide, survive from the killer sort of game. And if you are the killer... MASSACRE EVERYONE!!
The AU works similar in that way, having killers and survivors with powers, gimmicks and perks to help tip the scales in their favor. It's been days or a month or weeks since I first had this idea. I haven't been thinking about it much because I'm more focused on the angst that could take place in the lobby or in matches when 'The game begins.' But I think I'm able to wing it. Hopefully.
So here are the list of survivors and killers, along with an idea of their powers/perks:
Survivors:
Ailas
Equia- able to use limited offensive and defensive magic, and they aren't to the highest caliber that would be the most suitable for surviving. (Basically Dusekkar)
Gabriel
Katherine
Helen- it isn't a clear idea, but it works similar to Xander except with flowers as the method of mainly support, no offense
Roman
Oliver
Ronan
Micheal
Jay
Xander- able to throw potions that poison/harm the killers, and throw potions that buff survivors. (It would be funny to say that it's random and unknown. Hey, it's like gambling!)
Luke- his wing spell gives him the advantage during chases, and is silent. Perfect for ambushes to stun
Cassandra
Karl- he's able to regenerate his health thanks to DETERMINATION
Aiden
Seth- once enough damage has been inflicted, the kid enters a special phase wherein they've been taken over by the Gods in the moment of anguish (Thinking about TSC from AvA)
Reonix- is able to revive after being killed once, but the second life has some disadvantages to it.
Hunter
Zav- his curse comes into handy here because the ability is to use his voice to stun/pushback the killer in dangerous situations
Killers (Which I've thought more about):
Estarossa- I don't have much but something with nullification
Kiora- its able to control the (mainly) battlefield using pen, paper and their imagination. However, they have a limited amount of paper to how many times they can change the battlefield.
SoSo- upon killing someone, they're able to copy the perks and abilities the killed survivor had to use against the others. It stacks too.
Blake- aside from their main weapon (the sniper), he's able to lay down some suspicious substances that'll trip up survivors. He's able to be affected by it as well in the same way as them.
Dice- before each fight/chase between him and survivors, a coin flip is done. The coin flip determines who will gain a buff from the kerfluffle, so it isn't one sided. Basically gambling.
Dollie- I also don't have much but something about string and manipulation
Elas- he's able to corrupt survivors' health to be poisoned and slowly kill them, or their abilities to be completely unusable
Insanity/Mind Crab- the demon of insanity, able to drive a survivor mad, causing them to kill the others. It can only affect one survivor, who gets buffed, each round.
Mark/The Dark Lord- he's able to regenerate but unlike his counterparts where it comes naturally, he's able to life-steal. Meaning the more damage he does, that's how much he gains for HP.
Navaxan- upon killing someone, he can resurrect the people he's killed to make them into his lackeys, like what he did before. And the nerfs to necromancy aren't there as much anymore.
The Mimic/Deception- the demon of deception, able to copy anyone's appearance to fool them. Not just appearance but memory, personality, everything about them just to deceive.
You can already see that most of my personas are on the killer side, with only two of them being survivors. Wow. I'm crazy.
Anyhow that's basically it. Please do not take me seriously on these because again it's an AU for my sake and angst shit. That's all, bye.
I made a funny concept or joke. It'll be hard to explain since I haven't gone into detail with my characters but I think it still can.
There are three generations to my characters: catalyst, fire, and onix. Each, respectively, represents the past, present and future. I won't fully go into detail of who's who, I'll just focus on the main idea here.
The first to enter the suffering is the catalyst gen. There's some emotions here and there, considering someone who "died" or those who have "died" were alive again here. It's very emotional. The second to enter was the fire gen who also had tearful reunions since those were their parents. All except maybe one or two out of... past.. issues. The third to enter was the onix gen, not really understanding what was happening much. Except there was a... you could say tearful reunion of creator and creation.
Now, there are three people or four that I'll focus from each gen. Ronan and Helen (catalyst), Karl (fire), and Reonix (onix). This is, by all means, the timeline of the Firewing family. Ronan and Helen gave way to Mark, Mark later on gave way to Karl, and Karl gave way to Reonix. Note that Reonix isn't really a biological or real person, more so of a projection or hard formation of Renegy. Think of a hologram that's real, but still isn't. That's the boy.
During the meet up, when no rounds were happening, everyone was getting to know each other. Mostly the Past and Future. The Present was a medium for them to get along. And here's where the funny begins (before the angst):
It's a canon that Karl died, via using his own life force, to make Reonix. That still technically makes Reonix his son even if there was no conception. More or less I don't think a dead guy can... you know. So the boy is an unofficial child and therefore grandchild.
Karl was taught by his father, a very long time ago that will come back, never, ever, have sex before marriage. Or sex... at all until it's an approved and recognized relationship. It's not a bad teaching. Very good actually. But in this context... where the past knew nothing of the present and their actions... this lesson might as well have been seen as "chucked in the trash."
In short: Ronan and Helen don't know that Karl's a 'special class' of undead after the civil war, therefore cannot (anymore) have an actual kid. Later down in life, Karl used his own life force to make Reonix who he saw as himself, but different. You know, like a child. And likewise, Reonix saw Karl as a father... that... never existed because he was dead by that point. And this was NEVER explained by Karl properly because he didn't know how to. Which gave way to this idea I had came up with earlier (dialogue):
Ronan: BOY WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE! WHO'S THE WOMAN.
Karl: I DIDN'T. EVEN. DO. SEX. AND THERE'S NO WOMAN.
Ronan: THEN EXPLAIN THE FUCKING CHILD YOU HAVE!
Karl: I DON'T KNOW HOW!
Ronan: YOU'RE NOT MAKING YOUR CASE EASIER HERE BOY.
Karl: JUST KNOW, I DIDN'T DO ANY SEX- I CAN'T EVEN ANYMORE
Ronan: FUCK YOU MEAN 'ANYMORE'!? DID YOU ALREADY DO IT BEFORE?
Karl: NO!
*very loud and audible arguing about sex, pre-marital sex, and the child that is Reonix*
Luke: Wow. And I thought our arguments were bad. This... is surprisingly worse. And uncomfortable.
Micheal: Damn, it is if you're the one admitting that.
Cass: Should we... should we explain it instead? I mean we all know the truth- Miss Equia is here to-
Xander: NOONONONONONONO- No. This is gold. Do not let it end just yet. Would it be even better if they were putting knives to their throats or nah?
Aiden: Xander. I will put a knife to your throat if you don't stop.
Jay: Alright calm down you two.
***
Oliver: ...do we even do anything at this point? They're pretty heated right now.
Gabriel: If you want to get in the cross fire, go for it. When is comes to fight like these in the family, it's best to let it run its course. Especially when it's these two... finally.
Katherine: After all these years as well. Looks like being someone different helped him fight back.
Roman: Though, hopefully it won't result in Ronan's... second death.
***
Ailas: Equia, what's going on over there- who are these people? How do you know them? What happened?
Equia: I'll explain everything in due time. Just... not now. Not... now.
***
Zav: ... (he's mute because of the curse, luckily it's good in combat)
Hunter: How long is this squabbling going to last. Kid, you alright?
Reonix: Yeah? I mean I don't understand what's going on... are they talking about me?
Hunter: Unfortunately. And they're doing so with much passion.
Helen: Oh my, they truly are getting rowdy there. I do hope they don't hurt themselves... Anyhow, you must be Karl's child. Lovely to meet you, my name's Helen. I didn't expect a grandchild already, and you're already the sweetest thing I've seen!
Reonix: Thanks :DD
*the two proceeded to become friends, while everyone else in the background was already stopping Ronan and Karl from killing each other the second time B))*
Onix Generation applies to the Ivyrinth Empire, or people (leaders) of the Empire and people who conspire with them/have accountability of some of the characters. This character generation is basically the children in someway of the last, also there are other randos in here but they're important because they co-conspire/are affiliated with the main guys or are part of the main guys. I guess they somewhat bear responsibility of the last guys, but overall not really.
Let's get started, right? She's Primrose Wilson, my first sim, the onyx generation! She is a semifeeric and was thrown out of her home in her clothes and with a hundred simoleons after her family discovered that she was involved with rebel groups that supported mixed race rights. Now she lives in Sulani, on temporary jobs to support herself and keep the flame of her rebellion alive!
