Introducing Player, Player, Player, and Player

@playerappreciationweek

More under the line

Yes, their real names are [REDACTED]

Pre-timeskip

TR!Player is your standard canon Player. My version is from before the timeskip (between carmen meeting her mom and the final scene). Team Red stays in touch with each other even though they went their separate ways. He's more of a civilian than the other Players. Youngest of the group.

VILEop!Player is not fully brainwashed but has little choice but to work for VILE. He is loyal to Dark!Carmen. Zack and Ivy are also a part of VILE's "Dream Team". Shadowsan is dead. He was not allowed to use any electronic devices until he finishes his "training" brainwashing sessions and joins VILE Academy. Edgy Arsonist Hacker. Yes, he has a detonator, I gave him one. 2nd youngest of the group.

Post-timeskip

SR!Player is from my CS Security Risk au. He was going to college but got kidnapped by multiple criminal groups and intelligence agencies for non-carmen sandiego reasons. Basically what happened to Jules when VILE found out about her except with 5 more groups playing reverse hot-potato with Player. He is tired of everyone's shit. Middle child energy.

ReluctantVault!Player is one of the bad endings that could happen in Security Risk. Player's family are amnesticized. Team Red is dead. VILE comes back stronger then before. ACME is shut down. The Vault (High Security Organizations for secretive groups) owns Player for his own protection. He doesn't like it, but he has no choice. The other option is to keep running until someone finally catches him. Depressed and the most traumatized. The eldest Player of the bunch.

Player Appreciation Week Day 3: Alt prompt 3: Role Swap

Title: Carmen.. Ontario?

“This is just some kid!” “Those are the exact clothes of Carmen Sandiego! It’s not my fault that I saw it and thought of her!”

Player, tied to a chair, watched as Crackle and Tigress bickered back and forth together. The subject? His current outfit, a Carmen brand coat with a matching red hat.

Not really a traditional role swap but whatever

Late for Soul Mates day, but I just thought of this today. @playerappreciationweek

Carmen: Having a Soul Mate is great because of the connection you get to have with them. No secrets, no lies; everything's an open book, and-

Shadowsan: Here.

Carmen: Painkillers? Why are you giving me painkillers?

Shadowsan: For the rib you cracked last week that is still very much paining you.

Carmen: I didn't say it-

Shadowsan: Player told me.

Carmen: ....

Carmen: Soul Mates also have drawbacks.

[citrineleaf]

Late in the night, ACME receives a set of files from an ally of Carmen Sandiego. Contained within is information that sends Niagara Falls' fate into a tailspin.

*jangles keys* ZOMBIE CS FIC! WAKE UP ZOMBIE CS INFECTION FIC! *jangles keys* OOOH YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT!!!

Hey! I have made something for Player Appreciation Week!

So yeah, it's kinda unofficial for me since I never did it before and I liked the prompts and I have no idea what I'm doing.... So anyway, enjoy some Team Red Minecraft shenanigans (without an OC might I add!)

Player Appreciation Week 2025 Day 2: Soulmates

Player hated every little bit of the idea of soulmates. He couldn’t even keep a friend for more than a few months, how would he deal with a soulmate? That is, until he realized platonic soulmates exist.

I know I'm a day late, I just wanted to finish the art! It's a Double Life (Life Series SMP) inspired soulmates au, and it's platonic soulmates!! We're All Soulbound To Another Who Lets Our Hearts Fall Down https://archiveofourown.org/works/64179109 ignore that I put posters from random things I like + a photo of my dog in Player's background
