Seeing that this IF takes inspiration from Shatter Me immediately altered my brain chemistry, you have the best taste 😭 (except for Book 3 which pains my soul w/ how disappointing it was. But Book 1 and Book 2 were🔥🔥🔥). Just wanted to ask how you're taking inspo from it, any of the story beats or potentially the writing style from Book 1??? 👀
Ahaha I really liked it! Even though I have only read the first book for now, college leaves one with very little leisure time 😞 and yep yep I took a lil bit (VERY LITTLE) inspo from it, mainly for the beginning of the story. (p.s. I may or MAY NOT have accidentally been inspired by Warner for Nikita for some reason, although I'm not sure if I actually did or am I just thinking too much 🧐) let me know if you know so

Name : Caesar
Age : He is in his mid thirties
Appearance : Caesar is a tall, imposing man of 6’3”. Everything about him is monochrome – from his dark blue eyes and messy tousled gray hair, black eyepatch over his right eye, pale, almost ashen skin, and all-black outfit. Befitting of his battle-hardened gaze, he boasts a well-toned, muscular body that is often hidden by his clothes but is no doubt scarred. Caesar is half blind, having lost his right eye to a terrorist attack five years ago.
Personality : Caesar is a very charming and sweet person, albeit a little clumsy and awkward around crowds. He’s sharp and his experiences as a commander has given him enough skill to deal with troublesome people. Despite being a workaholic who works overtime to the point of sleeping in his office and not returning home for days, Caesar is a neat freak. He does not tolerate disorder at all and will actively try to tidy things up even if not required. Around his friends Caesar may be a sweetheart and charming commander, but during duty he is cold, cruel and calculative. He shows no mercy towards law breakers and delinquents and will not hesitate to execute the more serious offenders on the spot by the authority given to him by the Master of the 5th District. Yet underneath his tough exterior lies a broken man with a past filled with death. His apparent immortality has made him believe that he is the bearer of death and misfortune. His silent self loathing of himself doesn't help the issue as well, making him a highly dyfunctional yet sophisticated individual to deal with.
Background : Not much information can be acquired on this individual as all data is heavily regulated and censored. All that is known to the public is that he came from an upper middle class family from the 5th District. The subject joined the FAE (Framework Against Evil) at the age of 18. The family went bankrupt soon after following an acquisition of their business by the Quinn Industries. The subject is a widower with a single daughter, age 10. Remaining data cannot be retrieved.
Likes : Gardening, his job, pastries, white roses, reading, the sun
Dislikes : Darkness, failure, disorder, unnecessary skin contact
Pet peeves : Interrupters, people who beat around the bush unnecessarily, bad public manners
Trivia :
Adores tea; literally needs to have someone swap it out with water so he doesn’t end up getting no sleep with how much he drinks it on a daily basis.
Almost surprisingly, he likes to read storybooks as well–yes, like the type that young children read, because he finds them calming and entertaining.
Enjoys rainy days, but likes clear days a bit better as the sunrise and sunset are stunning to look at and watch
thank god, lil plat is alright! I asked for the meaning " a light purple that symbolizes a first love" 😭
Ohhh you mean the symbolism behind the lilac?! I see 😅 I apologize for getting the question wrong, and indeed the lilac flower represents innocence, youthfulness and tranquility as well as early first love, which describes E's feelings for MC pretty well ❤️🩹
Warning: no cows were hurt in the making of this scenario, atleast not that I'm aware of. kinda based on a true story sooo
"so... remind me, how did you die again?" The Reaper questions the man sitting before him across the glass table, raising it's non existent eyebrows at the silent man who starts fidgeting in his seat uncomfortably, possibly out of embarrassment for the ridiculous circumstances of his death.
"w-well, like i said before i was relieving myself by some train tracks when a cow came flying out of nowhere and hit me." He replies, looking down in shame.
The Reaper of Unusual Deaths would've never in its entire time of existence thought that it would encounter such an unusual death, i mean yeah it was responsible for dealing with things like this, but you never know. It hadn't encountered such a situation before to know better.
"so what are your plans now?"
"uhm, i don't know?" The man answers, unsure of his own answer. He hadn't expected death to come so early and so unusually. He starts crying as the reality of the situation begins to set it.
" ah i see. would you like some tea then? or perhaps you like some fancy coffee?" The Reaper politely offers, looking a little awkward. Damn it they didn't this stuff in school!
"no no, simple tea will do." More sniffling.
"with or without milk?"
"... i'd prefer some black tea please."
And the Reaper leaves the room, feeling conflicted between pity for the foolish human or itself.
Each type of death has a unique type of Reaper. The Reapers of Drowning collects the souls of the drowned. The Reapers of Old Age collects those that have come to their natural end. Write a story about a Reaper for an unusual death finally having a soul to collect.
"Behind those glares, I sense the weight of my misdeeds. Does my reflection in your eyes carry the burden of our unspoken discord?"
Name : Twenty
Age : They are in their mid twenties
Height : 5’6
Appearance : Twenty stands at 5’6” with elegant, beautiful features contrasting their hatred for you. They possess pale, silken white hair and crystalline eyes, with female Twenty having icy sky-blue eyes and male Twenty having fiery pinkish-red eyes. Female Twenty has longer hair that spills down her back, somehow kept meticulously straight despite her living conditions. Male Twenty has spikier hair trailing just past his nape often tied back in a half-ponytail.
Personality : Twenty is rather best described as timid but blunt. They're often honest, unfiltered and sarcastic, something people don't particularly like about them, but hey, they could care less if the whole world hated them, because they hate it just the same. They're often seen as narcissistic and petty, to the exact point that you can describe as a god complex. They hate being inferior and they hate it when they’re looked down upon or insulted despite them doing the same. Often described as an egomaniac, as stated above they have a deep hatred for being inferior so most of the time they’re manipulative and would occasionally bring people who make them feel inferior down, just so they can show that they are better or that they’re, in any way, superior. Don't get me wrong, Twenty is mature enough to not just fight with random people they don't like, but they’ll be judging them, ridiculing them from afar, or hell even making their life hell if they wanted. But despite that they're calm and collected most of the time, they'll only do so if they're provoked or feel threatened.
Background : The Subject’s traces can be found way back in the Libra District, where they resided in one of the more impoverished sectors. Subject has had a history of gang violence and been arrested multiple times on charges of scams and robbery. Not much is known about their background other than the fact that they have siblings stationed in the [DATA REDACTED] District. The Subject was sentenced to life in prison to Tartarus for allegedly conspiring with the terrorists responsible for the Infinity Plaza Terror attack five years ago.
Likes : Eye pleasing visuals, literature, good food (not the trash they're served in Tartarus), their self care routine
Dislikes : The scent of blood, overly curious people, irrational people, those who think they're better than them, the shitty canteen dog food (as they call it)
Pet peeves : gets annoyed by repetitive noises e.g. tapping or own clicking, when people eat with their mouths wide open
Trivia :
they have hyperthymesia or highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), a condition where one can remember even the smallest of life experiences in vivid detail
a slow eater; they like to savor their food so it usually takes like thirty minutes to get a simple meal for themself done.
sleepwalks a lot, can be found sitting by the edge of a balcony while asleep or by the canteens door, much to the night staffs dismay
is a firm believer of rock, paper, scissors. has never lost a game of rock paper scissors in their life
So Nikita never had a crush, huh? Then imagine mc before they lost their memories, they were in love with him but started to sorta "date" E hoping to forget him and not mess up their friendship, like shit. Maybe E knew or not? and maybe Nikita found out after all the dust settled.
Hmmmm although that does sound like a very cute and ANGSTY scenario, unfortunately canonically it's not possible. Mainly because Nikita and MC's relationship was primarily cordial and duty related, they were like acquaintances who occasionally shared a common coffee and complained about things they shouldn't be. He had absolutely no romantic feelings for MC, only interest and appraisal. Like looking at peculiar specimen different from a regular species. Maybe that could change now with the MC's changed attitude? Who knows. Nevertheless an interesting thought for future food ;)
I want to kiss V and E SO BAD my face is looking like your pfp rn
Oop- it seems V. and E. has a hardcore fan 🤭 please give these traumatized babies some love, they need it
*Reads the puppy play explanation*
... You sure Nikita isn't a slight yandere also? 😂
*shrugs innocently* you can come up with your own conclusion anon 😃 but does he actually give off yandere vibes???
Ugh but imagine poor E!!! old!mc used to look at them fondly, maybe a little in love and now there is only a blank face, devoid of all that.
GOSHHH *clutches my heart* THAT SOUNDS PAINFULLL AND OH THE POETIC WAY YOU DESCRIBED IT *chef kisses* ITS BEAUTIFUL 😍
and indeed if you choose to have a friends with benefits with relationship with E. then they will have pre existing feels for MC when you meet. The last time they met before MC's disappearance, they promised to come back for E. once they were done with their mission, however they failed and lost all their memories including those with E. E. has been waiting for the past 3 years for MC, and now that you're back, they won't let you go. And they won't forgive those who harmed you either, even if it means going against the entire Hightable and the world at that.
Tbh of all the given RO's, including Nikita, Leo, and G., E. is only one who truly loves and appreciates MC for the way they are, rather than seeing them as a possession or plaything for the sake of entertainment.
My asexual ass never chooses a fwb setting for obvious reasons but the angst possibilities with E romance.... THAT changes EVERYTHING
Ohohoho it seems the angst bait has caught someone 🤭 I'm happy that people are enjoying the heavy angst implications in this route. The temptation is just too irrestible it seems
