Enjoy my disjointed stream of consciousness while I procrastinate on homework

I have so many hypothetical plots I’m 90% sure I would never use but I need something to do while I wait for people to finish taking tests, so I space the heck out and they kind of just develop on their own

Like. What if I killed off Ishmael and made Bliss a goddess. Goddess of what? I don’t know. Something more robust than shin-kicking. I wouldn’t want her to be suddenly wise as a deity or whatever but maybe she’d be a goddess of family or something like that

I lowkey want the Jackal to have a redemption arc but I think part of his character is being irredeemable. He’d have to have remorse for all the stuff he’s done, but he doesn’t. I’d say his biggest regret is not donning the mask sooner, which is saying something considering he was barely an adult when he did so.

I gotta do stuff w/ the Eagle. In my opinion she’s the scariest one, and I like the mystery around her but she’s never had a formal introduction. My dilemma is that I like introducing characters separately from my other OCs, but since she is a Masked One I feel like the natural reaction a lot of other characters would have is Destroy On Sight and her abilities do not lie in open combat, so most likely she would get the snot beat out of her, especially if there was deities involved. She can’t die with the mask on, but she could still get banged up pretty bad.

Orphos has been too nice lately. Time to angst up my boy, no happiness allowed.

Also someone needs to call him out, he’s basically the head of a smuggling ring

I gotta work on Ishmael too, the stress of Everything is getting to him and he’s starting to tank a lil bit (a lot) He’s giving up on peaceful negation and moving towards physical action a lot faster than he used to. He’s getting frustrated that nothing’s happening and it’s reflecting in his conflict resolution skills His powers are really tied in to his emotions (I love that trope to pieces don’t @ me) so his peace circle is more erratic and it sometimes doesn’t work period which kinda sucks because it works as a mood stabilizer for him as well. He can crank that shit up to 11 if he wants to— that’s how he killed the mortal he brought to the Hyena. Part of how the peace circle works is that it slows a person’s heart rate as well as imbibing them with peaceful energy, so if he slows someone’s heart rate too much.... oop. My boy’s also struggling in the self-esteem department. One of Shiloh’s points was that Ishmael was simply in the right place at the right time when he became a deity— he just got lucky. He already had some self-worth issues so he’s straight up not having a good time rn because with Shiloh’s reappearance, a lot of what she said when she took over is resurfacing and it’s a big oof for him.

When Gevar hits a hard surface in her bird form I can’t stop thinking that she sounds like a Hydroflask Also she’s lonely as heck, get this girl some friends. Oh wait, she has a hard time building positive relationships because she doesn’t want to go through losing people close to her again, unfortunate. Lowkey? Want to ship her but that’d be Unhealthy for everyone involved, she’s gotta get her act together and maybe process a trauma or two before she’s ready for that.

Deepest fear time

Ishmael’s afraid of becoming like his father

Orphos is afraid of losing Bliss or making a mistake that ends up getting her killed— he thinks he’s bad luck when it comes to people he loves

The Jackal’s afraid of death

The Eagle is afraid of the Jackal, to the point she’s more fight than flight with him

The Hyena is afraid of himself and what he’s become

Bliss is afraid of Orphos leaving her like her biological family

Milo is afraid of Shiloh and failing Ishmael

Huck is afraid of losing his free will, and by extent doesn’t like Shiloh too much.

Gevar is afraid of the day she’ll inevitably face something she can’t defeat

The Raccoon is afraid of... nothing, really. Not being able to create things anymore, I guess.

I think that’s everyone?

I can’t even keep track of my own characters lol

Props to people with like 15+ characters, y’all real ones
