'A good life is what I want, but something I can't get'

Vex lore?! Yes! Vex lore!!!

Buckle up... cuz it is only getting worse from here

⚠️CW FOR MENTIONS OF DEATH AND TORTURE⚠️

-♡♡♡-

Vex let out a pained grunt as she was thrown on the hard Concrete floor inside of her cell. She sat up and watched her cell door close. She was shaking and breathing very harshly. It hurts... It hurts so damn much... The memory of needles ramming into her body, her screams of pain and begs for mercy... Crying for help to her parents... Her family...

'Hey'

A voice snapped her out of her trance. It was her Brother from the cell next to her, who doesn't had a name, since their mom passed away while giving birth to him. Vex was about [redacted] years old, while her Brother was 6. But that wouldn't stop these bad people from experimenting on him anyway

'Are you okay?'

He asked, concerned for his sister. Vex shook her head and let out a shaky breath. She was not okay, clearly, since she was bleeding and in pain

Her brother sighed. The lights turned off everywhere, it was time to 'Sleep', Vex and her brother always used this to make a plan to escape. Vex looked around, her green eyes looking around, observing her surroundings

'Marie...'

Her brother called and Vex's eyes narrowed to her brother

'Do you think dad is okay...?'

The Allay asked. Vex shook her head with a sad expression

'Probably not... knowing them, they probably killed him as he tried to escape...'

Her brother sighed and looked around. He wasn't a vex... Yet. Meanwhile Vex herself was slowly turning into one... Since she grew fangs and claws and her beautiful light blue wings started to have holes in them and started to break

She sighed and went to bed

'let's get some rest' she sighed and went to sleep

In the morning she heard a scream, her brother... she shot up from the bed and stared towards the cell her brother was in. No one was there. Shit.... she jumped off the bed and looked between the bars of the door. he was getting dragged away!

'NO!'

Vex shouted, tears in her eyes. She couldn't do anything other than watch her brother getting dragged away

'no...'

Tears ran down her face as she saw him vanish into the lab... she started to cry and blamed herself for not saving him...

That was the final draw... first her mom, then her dad and now her brother. She knew that her brother would do anything to get free and this was his chance, but she knew he'd fail and die in the process. Vex had enough she punched the wall in anger and rammed her claws into the stone. To her suprise, the wall started to break!

She punched the wall again and it continued to crack. Her hands started to hurt but she didn't care, as long as she was able to be free...

The wall broke and Vex ran through the halls of this prison. The guards clearly noticed her escape since they were chasing her down 'shit...' she mumbled to herself and sprinted faster until she saw the door. It was locked! Dang it! She looked back, the guards were surrounding her... She was trapped

Vex took a deep breath and her eyes darted arround

'There's no escape, Vex!'

One of the guards said and walked closer to her. A sharp pain went through Vex's body before everything faded to black... When she woke up, her back stung like hell. She looked at a mirror on the drawer next to her and one of her eyes was white, but still had a pupil. A sharp one nontheless. Wait a minute... A SHARP PUPIL?! What the heck happened... Seems like those bastards continued their experiment and her mutation continued. She looked at the cell next to her. Empty. Her brother was gone. The wall of her cell was also fixed again. Vex sighed, she was now all alone in this cruel world

Background 13 for all 3? 👉👈

thank you thank you!!! cyberpunk oc questions

background 13: what is their happiest memory?

wren

when she was younger (and even early teens), she, her dad, and her brothers would play baseball by the camp! they would make bases out of whatever they could find- tires, old rags, car parts, you name it. The games would usually be Robin & Lark vs. Finch & Wren, with their dad as the designated pitcher. Lots of fights, arguments, etc etc as siblings do, but it's one of her favorite memories.

finch

getting his first car! the thing was a complete piece of junk ofc, he found it in a scrapyard. BUT he worked on it with the rest of the mechanics at camp- tuned it up, painted it, got it running pretty smoothly! he still has it though it doesn't run as well, it was ancient when he found it but he just keeps it parked like something in a museum. Its name is Fritz!

vex

deciding to go by Vex instead of their given name (they have not officially changed their name, nor will they, but everyone who is still in their life embraces the change, and anyone new they meet only knows them as vex, so it's nbd to them). it was their opportunity to shed their old identity and become someone that they could be proud of. vex has never, ever looked back: since the name change they have become perfectly comfy with themselves, happy(mostly), and confident.

Love how Pharaoh Cub and Scar's relationship is in your stories. Defiantly want to see Scar being smug when he wins against the Pharaoh, only for it to vanish when he still gets dominated by that man. lol. (Side note, can I ask for some details on the Pharaoh's personality vs Cub's? And in how they differ in treating people?)

Oh yes, when I have the last chapter of the first part of the Lost Prince AU posted tomorrow tomorrow, I'll have to get back to the Pharaoh TCG fic, now that Scar's finally won. I have a few ideas brewing. >:D

As for the Pharaoh vs Cub, I have some thoughts. Here I'm talking just about them as characters and how I tend to write them. And this does touch on shippy things and D/s dynamics but more to illustrate the differences, just as a head's up for ppl not comfy with that kind of thing. <3

in the context of the Pharaoh as his own separate being, he's very... domineering, in a way. He's a god, of course he's better than everyone else. He knows his own power and how to use it. This is not to say he's just a tyrant, because he's not. He just demands respect and will punish anyone who fails to give it. In his land, in his pyramids, the Pharaoh's rule is absolute and you will obey him. But he will be sweet to those he cares about and loves. Even in submission to, say, Beef, it's a choice, a command, he's setting the rules of their engagement and their dynamic so he gets what he wants out of it.

also ofc he possesses Cub, he IS Cub, he knows what that boy likes ffs. XD

Cub isn't like that. He's more of a brat. Maybe he'll obey, but maybe he won't. He does his own thing, but it's not coming from a sense of divine authority, of being over everyone else. He's just entertaining himself. Cub's the 'seek forgiveness rather than ask permission' kind of brat (most of the time anyway). He's also not a mouthy, loud brat either. He's the quiet type, the ones you don't really notice until you realise the mess they've caused lol. Not really interested in leadership; more interested in building secret tunnels and stealing artefacts lol. He's a sneaky boy. :D But he also cares a lot too. He knows their boundaries and where to draw the line, because he's silly but he's not stupid.

Unlike the Pharaoh who is in control when he submits, for Cub, he really isn't. At least, obedience is earned (or taken) by higher powers, whether that's King Ren or Scar or the Vex or the Pharaoh, it doesn't matter. For the Pharaoh, there is no higher power than him; for Cub, that isn't the case. Lack of control is what he likes.

You can contrast this nicely with Cub and Scar and their relationship with the Vex. For Scar, there's a more business-like feel to their arrangement. He doesn't kill Vexes bc he's not allowed, and they give him all the riches he could ever want and place him in positions of power like the Mayorship. For Cub, it's totally different. It's subservience to a higher power, a possessive power, something deserving of worship and respect. It brings power too, and magic, and prosperity, as long as he gives his body to the Vex to do with as they please.

This is why Scar is the Power, and Cub is the Vessel. Scar represents the power and magic of the Vex, and Cub is what that power fills and is channelled through. Adding False as the Will gives that magic purpose and direction. She makes their work more effective, though they've done plenty on their own.

The Pharaoh would never bow to the Vex the way Cub does. He has his own magic that is just as powerful, if not moreso, than that of the Vex. He sees his Vex magic as useful, but he has better tools at his disposal, so he uses them instead. After all, he is a god. Gods do not bend their knee to silly creatures like Vex. But he does lean on it a little with Cub, because Cub is weak to it like Scar is.

The Pharaoh's magic is also very hot and fiery, whereas the Vex prefer ice and coldness. They are opposites in that regard. The Pharaoh's magic simply burns all the effectiveness of Vex magic away, which is why he doesn't really use it himself. He's the son of Ra, the sun god. Ice magic is useless against him. The Vex can't possess a god either; he's not a player, in the way Cub was a player before he was Pharaoh. I mean, he IS, but he also really isn't. The Kingly Ka, the divine soul of Horus that makes someone Pharaoh, is what makes him divine. He's no longer simply human after that point.

The Kingly Ka was never passed on to young Cub tho. It's not young Cub we see as the Pharaoh in the TCG arena, but old Cub. Pharaoh Cub. The one who is divine. It's on the card, too. Cub is not the Pharaoh, he's a separate being now. He died at the end of s7 after building a pyramid, which is traditionally the tomb for a king, and s8 is Cub's metaphorical journey through the afterlife before he returns for s9. This is me getting back on my Book of Caverns bullshit, but it is the title of a real Ancient Egyptian book of the afterlife, and what did Cub spend s8 building? A canyon filled with caverns! The moon crashing into the earth can be seen as his way of understanding his death and transformation/rebirth into his young skin in s9. bc that's how I'm dealing with the whole 's8 was a simulation' lore from RenDoc.

Anyway. I think that's enough brainrot for now. I don't want this getting any more unhinged than it already is lol. :D If you have further questions, please do ask! I'd love to ramble about this some more. <3

I stole this idea from @miss--river, but I decided to go the gym leader route & choose 1 typing for their teams! Wren is a bug-type trainer and Vex is a ghost-type trainer ^^
