Title from Two of a Kind - Ghost and Pals

Dark modern fantasy? I guess?

Heads up, I don’t expect this to gain any sort of traction. I just need this prompt to stop rotting in my documents because it’s been there for a month straight and it’s pissing me off a little bit. If this does start, I’m not expecting it to be active more than like, once a day, if even that.

If I need to reboot it or something later, I will, but I just wanted it out in the world.

(This is me trying to avoid being screamed at by my friend) (pls don’t attack me /hj)


A darker and more lore-accurate version of my other roleplay, “tonight, I’m arriving alive and alight.”

For any AO3 readers who will understand this, the dove has fully decomposed already.


WARNING: There will be violence, mentions of violence, attempted murder, possible anxiety/panic attacks, and of course swearing in this roleplay. Under no circumstances do I condone murder, assault, or any violence save for self-defense in real life. I am not and will never be glorifying these actions. If you’re uncomfortable with anything mentioned here or elsewhere in this post, do not interact.


Shit, besties, I got bored so I’m rewriting something from my au. Why? Because I can, motherfuckers. This has like zero bearing on the storyline btw

ALSO NON HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS ON HUMANOID CHARACTERS. BECAUSE I SAID SO. (THIS IS OPTIONAL BUT ALLOWED)

So there’s this character dynamic that I got from a music album that I absolutely adore,,, Please bear with me

The album is Chonny's Charming Chaos Compendium (by Chonny Jash, a lovely Tally Hall cover artist), but the three songs that best show each individual personality are The Heart Acoustic, The Mind Electric, and The Soul Eclectic.
basically, think Left Brain Right Brain by Bo Burnham’s emo cousin
Or Inside Out but Disney felt like being a bit edgy

Check out “The Juno Incident” under this thread to see the original story, but this has no bearing on this roleplay aside from the prompt I made.

Keep in mind (lol) that this doesn’t take place in this exact universe, it just has the same character dynamic. We’re not running any brains here, don’t worry. (Unless that would be an interesting concept to you)


’Cause it’s one thing, or another, I don’t even know why I bother.

The Heart: the right brain. creativity, emotion, intuition, abstract concepts. they find themselves being overly emotional and they struggle with being overreactive.

You understand, mechanical hands are the ruler of everything.

The Mind: the left brain. logic, analytics, language, objective concepts. they often don’t see past the facts and logic, seeing emotion and feelings as simply getting in the way.

Tonight, you’ve survived out of pity and spite.

The Soul: separated from the brain. they serve as the leader of the group, kind of. I like to see them as a tired parent or older sibling, lmao. But they’re also chaotic asf and won’t hestiate to cause ✨problems✨


Heart: me ( @ame-has-emotional-damage)
Mind: @Morals-are-for-mortals
Soul: @maglo-the-stressed-person


Sorry kiddos, you don’t get to be silly goofy in this one.

Just like last time I made this one, Heart and Mind hate each other, with Soul as the mediator of the group. But this time, it’s a much worse rivalry, with Soul often having to keep one from attacking the other during their arguments. It’s taken a toll on them all, but especially Heart. A particularly terrible argument breaks out between Heart and Mind, with lots of screaming bc yeah. Heart just snaps and shoots Mind, but misses, which results in uh. Idk but it’s probably terrible. (More fighting more fighting more fighting yEAH BITCHES)

What happens next is up to us. :)


Rules:

  • andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)’s rules.
  • I’m gonna try to be more lenient in terms of being active since I’m not gonna be as active as normal, with school and all.
  • your character can be mean, but you can’t.
  • on that note, you can curse but using any slurs will get you kicked out immediately. I feel very strongly about this.
  • 2-3 sentence minimum. I get it, we get tired and can’t write as well for the day, and that’s okay! Just try your best, nothing like “She sneezed.” and we’re on good terms, lol
  • Also, if you think you may not be active for an extended time period, please warn me first.
  • No godmodding or powerplaying. It’s sad I have to say this.
  • I will give you a character template. You may edit the template a bit to match your character and preferences, but I would like it to stay moderately detailed. And please, don’t just send your character’s Notebook page.
  • if I’m not familiar with your style, I’ll ask for a sample.
  • I do reserve the right to say no. If our styles clash, or I otherwise don’t feel that we’d be good role playing partners, I may turn you down. It’s not about you, and I will say I’m a little nitpicky about writing styles.

Other: They have v sharp canines (good for biting ankles), and a pair of white feathered wings on their back.


Personality

Basic personality: They’re the emotional one. Wow. Very surprising yes. They have a hard time not breaking down/spiraling over little things, especially when they’re in an overwhelming environment. They also have major self esteem issues but they’re trying ok :(((. They also apologize like way too much and they’re generally an anxiety friend.

Other: Juno is surprisingly tough for someone their size, but not to the point where it’s any more of a challenge to fight them (just punt them, they’ll like, disintegrate probably)


If we actually get anyone, we can further discuss the plot once all the slots are taken.

@the-void-phantasmic language

(OH hi bestie!!! I’m not super worried about whether this dies or not so go ahead lol)
(Mayhaps perchance it would be fun to revive the first one, tho :0)

@Morals-are-for-mortals language

(Alrighty- should I go with a more original Mind look or closer to the humanized version? Even though you did say non-human features were allowed I just want to confirm)

Face claim (picrew): https://ibb.co/ctdJM4Z


Personality

Basic personality: Apollos is a cold, calculating character. He often disregards people’s emotions, dismissing them and instead believing that having no emotion at all would be a better life to lead. He rarely ever apologizes for his actions. He often mocks the Heart for their over-emotional stance, and openly has a negative disposition about them. However, the main emotions he does display regardless consist of annoyance and anger. (Of course, it wasn’t always like this, was it?)
Sexuality: Unknown.
Physical conditions: Um. He certainly seems to think so.
Mental conditions: Narcissistic to a degree, kinda OCD?

*”I don’t even know why you bother with this.”
*”I merely want the best for our lives. And the answer is right there, in front of us. But you’re too blind to see it.”
*”Love and emotion is a fools errand.”
Other: I have so many opinions about him, someone stop me- Also, in this version he didn’t create his own body modifications because of reasons.

(So is this still open, waiting for Soul to be filled?)

Deleted user

(Yes)(:
(So are there any specific differences here from last time, or is it mostly same people, different scenario?)

@the-void-phantasmic language

(Same dynamic, it can be a different character if u want tho. This is also more of a modern fantasy deal so do with that what u will)
(Other then that yeah pretty much)

Deleted user

(cool. I'll probably stick with the same character, since I'll be taking the Soul role still.)

Personality

Basic personality: A mix of calm and chaos. He is responsible and takes a conversation slowly, always making sure everyone is understood, and empathizes with everyone. But he also enjoys a bit of fun, sometimes doing stuff out of pocket for fun. He is rationally empathetic to say, feeling strongly, but not controlled by these emotions, taking time to figure out everyone elses thoughts. The chaotic side of him is due to how stressful trying to keep everyone calm is, he has to let it out sometimes. He's got energy he wants to let out.
Sexuality: Aroace

Quotes (optional): "Nothing wrong with feeling. Nothing wrong with Pragmatism either." "You may have noticed my rational deception." "Calm…down….Please…" "Is this really the first day I've not spent herding a friend and a pragmatist? And I'm talking aloud to myself! I've gone fully mad, how fun!"

@the-void-phantasmic language

(puts Juno and Apollos in a get along t-shirt, then puts Sol in a quiet room with plushies while Juno and Apollos try to fucking kill each other more plot building time before we start? Just so we aren’t going in confused lol)
(Also Echo I’m sorry but bro is eventually going to have a variation of his name for every letter of the alphabet if you keep doing this /j)
