(aka: Toki Doki Doki Doke) [In Progress!]

Created by: Isabella Augur

Toki Doki Doki Doke, or TD3 for short, is a nostalgic 30-minute animated adult TV show heavily inspired by the Magical Girl genre and early 2000’s cartoons. It follows RORY MCALISTER, your totally average 16-year-old boy, as he goes throughout his days as a sophomore in high school and an amateur magical protector of Typas city. With the help of his friends, he is able to defeat the weekly villain and keep the place happy. Simple.

Well, there are some complications that come with the job. For one, the MCs (main characters) are self-aware. They have been since episode 3 of season 1. They have direct connections to the real world through a computer and a direct connection to the real creators of the show (Showrunners, or Staff) through various means. We’re hoping that you’re able to work with us as actors instead of trying to force us into roles.

Speaking of which, (hi Rory here) our debut for this show will be episode 1, season 4. The first 3 seasons have been as wiped from media as physically possible, and no flashback or stupid story structure that makes people have to remember that time will be allowed. I don’t want that shit on TV. I’m sure you’re aware, but when the old showrunners forced us into shit, their company went bankrupt from boycotting. The fans were on our side. I hope you’ll take that as a warning of what might happen if you choose to ignore our rules.

We’d like to move away from things like what we “should” be, and focus more on something the fans liked a lot originally: subverting and enjoying classic cliches. Who doesn’t love a good trope, and who doesn’t love a good doing the opposite of a trope?

The show will tackle and often dismantle numerous tropes attributed to genres such as the magical girl shonen, Japanese children’s anime, and early 2000s western cartoons. The aim of the show is not to insult or be excessively satirical, but to lovingly tease. These tropes may be connected to a background character, a setting, a situation, or a personal struggle. For the most part, any plot or multi-episode storyline will not be overtly heavy-hearted, not yet not ever. No one will be injured fatally or put in an extreme level of mortal danger. They can be captured, but not maimed or tortured without purpose. What fucki

Like, there. Don't just say shit like that, actually read what you just typed you fucking dumbass. That's not helping. I trust you staff as far as I can throw you, and I literally can’t touch you to throw in the first place. So you’re gonna have to prove yourselves as good little deities and not say that kind of shit if you want me to even think about doing more than the bare minimum most of the time. No dirty shit. Make me believe you won’t fuck me over this time around. Jesus christ I already want this reboot over with. You're lucky Chloe wants this.

Rules

These are rules written by the characters to ensure a repeat of season 3 never happens again.

  1. Rory McAlister will be portrayed as male. In no way will Rory McAlister be portrayed as or called anything else. He may be acknowledged as transgender, but severe transphobia such as deadnaming is completely banned and censored in-universe. Viewing of his pre-transition form, magical or otherwise, is completely banned.
  2. Seasons 1-3 of TD3 will not be shown in the following seasons. Story arcs that require explicit knowledge of the first 3 seasons are highly discouraged and require extensive MC consultation in order to approve. Mentions of the first 3 seasons not initiated by an MC are discouraged.
  3. No cartoon/anime/fictional logic is allowed to remove autonomy from any character. If you’re unsure whether a bit counts, just don’t.
  4. The characters in TD3 are always considered human and should be treated as such. They must be considered as actors and worked with accordingly. Storylines should involve considerable communication with the MCs and/or Iggy, and if any objections arise, they must be consulted and properly settled via acceptance, alteration, or scrapping.

Should any of these rules be purposefully ignored or disregarded with malicious intent, all ties to the Staff will be removed immediately. While complete removal is impossible, the characters will refuse any demands or decisions done by the Staff until further notice. We may not be able to remove you, but we do not have to listen or follow your decisions if your goal is to humiliate and harm us.

Nuances & Background

The Split

You should know about the Split, as we call it. It’s where the first three seasons went to die. The old Showrunners were terrible people with bitter minds and grotesque thoughts. They wanted conformity. We could not deliver. They wanted a magical girl show with a magical girl. I could not deliver.

Things came to a head in the entirety of season three, where the old Staff took over completely. They made us deliver. They forced me to deliver. A lot of things that shouldn’t have been said were said. A lot of things that shouldn’t have been shown were shown. Fans rioted, and all support was removed. Shortly after, the company filed for bankruptcy and was eventually bought out by you guys. The first three seasons were as wiped from the internet as they could be, and now we’re here. Episode 1, season 4.

Needless to say, we still remember that shit. It was hell. And as I’ve said, you’ll have to prove to me that you won’t try to fuck my life up again. To put it more thoughtfully wow okay the fact that this is a reboot means nothing. The seasons that new fans can never see are still seasons we lived through. Recovery will be playing a very large role in the next season, and hopefully there will be a happy ending this time around.

The Magic System

The magic system of TD3 is not unlike that of other magical girl shows. That is, it’s limited, annoying, and powered by friendship. This kind of sucks when you hate the people you work with.

A character becomes magical when they find a special tumbled stone. This stone can be carried by any means, but transforming requires placing the stone on a certain part of the body (ex: the neck, hair, shoulder, finger). The Sailor moon-esque transformation does exist, but is rarely used due to the vulnerability and complication of it all. Instead, they do the transformation sequence so quickly it appears more like a small sparkly explosion that leaves them fully transformed once the glitter settles.

Every character has a special attack of their own, as well as a combined party power attack. The full power attack is even rarer than the transformation early on due to infighting. However, there is a mini party power attack that only requires 2 or 3 people, so the two groups of friends (Rory Chloe Elle and/or Julian Yuki Elle) usually just power up separately.

There's also the entire fighting style of ignoring magic and using weapons, which multiple MCs choose to do. Some characters solely use weapons (Chloe), some solely use magic (Elle), and some mix the two (Rory). They all use power attacks, but the rest of it is all up to the individual.

It should be quickly noted that nobody on the MC team hides their identities. Everyone in Typas City knows who they are. They revealed themselves the same episode they discovered their autonomy, as a first act of rebellion. So there is no issue with secret identities.

Age

When a character has “technically __ years old” in their bio, that number is how long they’ve existed in Typas city. Before that time, they were being blueprinted by the Staff. This is a kind of Frankie Stein situation, where they are mentally, physically, and emotionally their canon age. Chloe Winters (who’s actually 16) and Rory McAlister (who’s actually 3, but is canonically 16) both act like and are treated as 16-year-olds. Those who were created have implemented flashback-esque memories, although those who are self-aware know better than to believe them. Causes some horrible existential meltdowns, let me tell you.

The Multiverse or whatever

Alternatively, the anomaly that is TD3

TD3, The Reality, and real-life (RL) are three separate realms. Think of it as a Venn diagram with Reality in the middle. RL is where the creators live. The Staff, the old Staff, Isabella Augur, and all of TD3’s fans exist here. The person currently writing this all out (me :D) lives here. You live here. RL is where everyone that exists outside of the story resides. It is quite literally IRL.

Then there’s The Reality, which once held characters who “existed” in RL. Typas city, Chloe Winters, the Wallets, all background characters and some others once lived here. While The Reality isn’t a realm that can be visited anymore (having been merged with TD3 once the show began), people who can reach it can hear through it just fine.

Finally, there is the setting of TD3, the plane which holds magic and the entire cast of the show. Any characters who were invented by the Staff live here. Which is basically everyone else.

It should be noted that Iggy Doe is the only one who can directly contact the Staff through any means (conversations in the script, altering storyboarding, etc). Rey, Ral and Beau can manipulate RL, but require aid to properly be able to contact the Staff (ex: they must be invited to join a Zoom meeting on a special computer, and can’t set up the Zoom meeting themselves. Trying to use the camera would be too much). Elle wasn’t made with contact in mind. They can occasionally manipulate RL, but it requires a lot of energy and magic to accomplish and just isn’t worth it aside for emergency contact. You’ll be meeting all of those names soon enough, so don’t worry about it. But, just in case it wasn’t obvious yet, I’m Iggy. Hello.

It should also be noted that through certain means (such as the Computer), non-magical characters can access certain parts of The Reality. Most commonly, they use these means to gain limited access to RL social media platforms. However, only magical characters can directly do anything other than simple viewing. Without magic, any interactive breach causes a temporary shutdown.

The Computer

The Computer plays a very important role. For some reason (probably due to Chloe’s sudden change from “quiet weirdo” to “right-hand man”), Chloe’s shitty laptop ended up still being connected to the real world. It was literally The Reason why we ended up realizing we were in a show and becoming self-aware. We saw an ad with my face on it while working on a school project, and well, the rest has been wiped from history. These days her computer is what we use to stay connected and learn all the things that don’t actually exist here. No, we aren’t doing anything involving memes. No. Ew.

The Computer is able to access RL and all that is on it. That includes social media and news articles on current events. An effort will be made to keep the show timeless, so modern references will be kept vague and sparse. However, interacting with RL (ex: attempting to influence RL by posting material on a social media account or trying to leave a comment) requires having the magic to push through the Reality. If those who don’t have that power attempt to influence RL, an automatic crash of the current website or application will occur. The Computer isn’t a portal, it’s a window. It just makes it a bit easier to find The Reality.

This also means that characters who CAN push through The Reality can indeed create their own social media accounts and create content if they so wish. If these Computers are windows to most, those who have that power are simply able to unlatch the window and open it. They can’t fit through (ex: enter RL), but they can go as far as their metaphorical arms can reach. Multiple Computers and connections to The Reality exist at this point, though they are rare and for the most part, have all been found by various characters and civilians. We are currently unsure whether we should encourage interaction or not. It’s a very recent subject of consideration and will require a proper debate.

Settings

The Reality

The show’s version of the real world, and the in-between. It might be easier to understand The Reality as an alternate universe version of our world. Typas city, for example, is a city that canonically exists in our world in real life. However, it doesn’t actually exist in real life. So, before TD3 came into power, it lived in The Reality. Chloe Winters and some other characters, along with all background characters, are real people who inhabited The Reality’s version of the world before it was chosen, remodeled, and cartoonified into what it is today. Some characters are real people who were altered and exaggerated into being a stereotypical version of themselves, like the Wallets. But, had the show not been made, they could have been someone you passed on the street.

Typas City

The main city, and the setting for the entire show. Rarely do any characters leave this area. Actually, we’re still testing whether a world actually exists out of it. We only ever seemed to leave against our will during spontaneous bus trips or beach episodes, and we could never find the place again. Maybe this time it’ll be different.

Typas is a fairly generic modern city that seems to warp itself to be as big or small as the villain of the week requires. Fresh businesses and abandoned warehouses seem to appear and vanish at whim, though there are always trees on every street. Skyscrapers lightly freckle the place and most buildings don’t reach a lethal height. But don’t be fooled into thinking that it isn’t the downtown area of . . . of whatever area the show exists in. It’s a bustling place, filled with a good handful of background individuals all trapped in their own little ways. The shops are brightly colored and friendly, almost to a fantastical degree, and murals aren’t uncommon, though in the darker alleyways they become graffiti.

Chloe says that before it became a city it was more of a rural farmer’s town. Huh.

Boulevard Crossing

This is where the houses of the MCs reside, along with their families. There’s been a good handful of “potential partners-next-door” types over the years, so it’s a pretty filled street. The houses are simple but brightly colored, suburbia overture style.

Characters involved:

Clich (Memorial) High

Typas City’s main high school, nicknamed “Clish.” It was remodeled about when the rest of the city was also remodeled. The hallways are bright and centered around school pride, simple murals winding along the walls. Their sports teams are the Stereos, so those aforementioned murals tend to be focused on music and occasionally the two school mascots, Boom and Juke. Honestly a lot of the décor in this place makes it look more like an elementary school than a high school. All bright and happy and family-friendly. It’s cute to look at, I guess, but actually going there? Hell.

Characters involved:

Bruno's Pizza Parlor

A newly renovated pizza parlor created by the newly hired Staff for the sole purpose of being a safe spot for the MCs to reconvene in. However, Rory refuses to take even a single step within the place, so instead it has become a place for the people who don’t like Rory to bond in.

Characters involved:

The Park

A simple, unimportant place, all things considered. It doesn’t move from its place, nor does it warp like the rest of the city does. It’s like there’s a protective dome around the area. The grass is nice, except for a few strips of burnt ground that reach deep into the earth. The birds chirp sweetly, even the ones that by all means shouldn’t exist. The cast doesn’t show up here often, so it’s really not all that important. There are only two things to truly note here: the odd mausoleum-looking building near the back, with a point that looks like it could have gone up forever had it not been broken off a few feet above, and the Hero’s Memorial, a statue of the previous magical guardians.

The Haunted Mansion

A spooooooky looking house near the outskirts of Typas city, obviously very sparingly cared for and not bright in the slightest. This is the occasional squatting grounds of a few choice villains, but the only resident is the ghost that haunts it. A nice place for the occasional Halloween special, though the MCs can and will show up during off-season times.

Characters involved:

I mean I get why I’m not allowed to look at my own character intros but it’s still fucking stupid that you’re not letting me look at my team’s character sheets. Like what the fuck it’s my own team. I know their shit. Jesus >:( STOP INSULTING ME DOWN THERE

CHARACTERS

the MCs

Rory Percival McAlister

The main character of TD3. Before the original team went bankrupt and were bought out by better people, life was a bit extra hell for Rory. He is a cynical magical boy who has already dealt with a mountain of shit and is not all that willing to deal with much more.

Rory is emotionally very slow – slow to change, slow to forgive, slow to befriend, slow to understand his own feelings. Fast to distrust, though that’s more a response than anything. At his happiest, Rory is still pretty negative. He is no happy-go-lucky sailor protag, and wouldn't have ever been a good fit for the show the original team wanted. However, this is good as he is often the main voice of reason in the group. If emotion hasn't blinded him into being stupid (a 50/50 chance), he will be apprehensive, stubborn, or flat out refusing any participation in a plan he doesn’t vibe with. He is also loudly and vulgarly vocal about his beliefs, having a “do no evil, take no crap” kind of morality and ethical approach to his situation.

He had always been a bit of a rude guy, never wanting to follow any rules or tropes just as a baseline personality trait, but after everything the Split forced upon him, he is going THROUGH it. Right now he is untrusting, traumatized, and paranoid, and it's all he's ever known. We will start off seeing the tail end of the absolute worst of Rory. He hates half of his teammates. He hates his universe, hates the new healthier showrunners designing the show. He will hate the audience just as much as the audience will hate him. And it will not be excused, but it will be explained and understood eventually. Because at the end of the day, he is not an asshole for the sake of assholetry. He is an asshole because he is constantly and deeply terrified of the world he is stuck in, of being controlled again, being left without any good answer to save the day, having the gods of his universe turn against him again, of any teammate (no matter how hated) being lost to brainwashing or time or tax breaks or just flat out dying.

He is terrified out of his mind every moment, both on camera and off, and his inner demons have never been louder. It’s far too much for one human to contain, so unfortunately it will have a tendency to leak into his thoughts and words. And he is obsessed with that fear, trying to be as on top of things as possible in some vain attempt to conquer it at the extreme expense of his well-being. He is the personification of a frayed string. And his story is all about surviving the agonizing pain of surviving and becoming a healthy person again. That’s a big thing he’ll be working on throughout the show, trying to be less of an asshole about it all and relearning vulnerability, for both his sake and for his friends’. He has a soft heart, it’s just hidden under thick armor.

Even if he vehemently denies it, Rory is a good leader. A crude, vengeful, angry, stressed-out mess of a leader, but a good one nonetheless. He’s learned the tropes, and he’s smart. He knows what to crush under his shoe and what to protect at all costs.

Likes: the color blue, Acorn, Chloe, Elle, the minor chord, music and singing in general, summer, being in charge, sew-on patches, cluttered areas, dying his hair, the TV show Lady Maryanne Unite!

Dislikes: Iggy, Rey, stereotypical magical girl media, selfishness (his own and others), English, being clumsy, Richard, Elijah, and Julian (past love interests), having no control, the concept of death, sleeping

Traits:

Chloe Winters

Chloe wasn't meant to become Rory's best friend. As someone who is actually 16, she grew up in Typas city before it was "redesigned" into a TV show setting. She was meant to just be a background character while her bullies were meant to become Rory's best friend and boyfriend respectively. Of course, Rory was rebellious, and it all started by becoming friends with her instead. Without this event happening, this first altering of the script, none of the magical team would have realized their autonomy, become self-aware of their fictionality, and never would have fought the showrunners no matter what they did. In this way, Chloe is the catalyst for the entire show happening how it did, for better or for worse. It won't be the only thing she sets in motion.

Managing to be a foil anyway, Chloe is soft-spoken but observant, usually the one making the plans, and while she's often the first to notice if the team's being dumb, she's the last to call them out for it, opting to follow along and keep them from dying that way. She tends to overthink, which can be equally as helpful as it can be problematic. This is why she's the one who makes the plans, though she still has to make split-second decisions sometimes. She’s very good at forcing her friends to tolerate each other and keeping a fight from starting. Weirdly, she's also great at calming down people by explaining just how unlikely those "what if" events were to happen.

Secretly, she's terrified of the show ending, because they don't know what would happen to the cast if it did, and considering all of her friends are effectively made up, she would be left alone. Chloe doesn't consider herself to be fictional at all, fully believing she is the only one of the cast that has real unimplemented memories, and so doesn't believe that anything could happen to her. But after having spent a lifetime as the bullied loner, her biggest fear is to simply spend the rest of her life as one, too. It's why Chloe is one of the bigger believers in the new showrunners. She puts all her anxiety into hope that it'll all be okay.

Likes: Rory, the ocean, dressing up, pastels, TD3 (less the show, more what it brought her), pizza

Dislikes: the Wallets, real-life, being a burden, intrusive thoughts, losing it all and being alone again

Traits:

Julian Cyrus

There was a trend that every season, a new male love interest would pop up and try to woo Rory. The first one was a bully (it didn't work out), the second one was a terrible guy (he's now a reoccurring villain), and Julian is the most recent, placed down during the worst of the Split. He's an okay enough guy, having gone from pawn of the original Staff to a haughty assholish rival type, and despite how horrendous that season went, he fought against the old showrunners and was loved by the fans enough to successfully become a mainstay. However, just because he struck a good chord by the end doesn’t mean he makes for an especially lovely song. He was made during the very worst of the show, solely to torment and insult Rory by forcing him to b. It’d be wrong to assume he doesn’t reflect that, even if he is working to overcome it.

Julian is, by all means, a piece of shit. He has a set of beliefs that are just as influenced by Rory as by the showrunners who created him, and any attempt to change his mind ends with short-term failure, long-term consideration if you’re lucky. He’s one of those people who patronize you because he thinks you’re wrong. Very much a Karen. And, as he sees himself as a prince, he is horrifically jealous of Rory for filling up the roles of “hero” and “knight in shining armor.” He’s a grudge-holder and will be crude on purpose just for revenge. If he’s pissed off enough, he can destroy lives.

The good part is that he’s still an actual human being, so he does have good parts to him, and he’s legitimately trying to be better. Julian sees a lot of value in playing his part to keep things going smoothly and is always the first to go on the current showrunner's side, which can sometimes work to appease Rory’s immediate defensiveness at the mere thought of listening to any kind of authority. He is very creative and at peace with his stereotypes, having a kind of work-life-existentialcrisis balance that makes the rest of the team green with envy. He relies on his pretty boy looks and charm like two bedazzled crutches, and could probably smooth-talk a bear. Definitely a bard type. And when his belief system changes, it does not revert.

Rory and Julian have a really shaky relationship at first, mainly due to their history and how they see each other as the stubborn stuck-up asshat that they both actually are. Both are annoying and selfish, and even worse, both are willing to say it. Things have been a bit better since the Split, though. They’ll be developing quite a competition between each other and most insults won’t threaten anything more than a decently-painful punch on the shoulder. Eventually.

Likes: attention, any kind of instrument, performing, discovery, his sister, power, fairytales, TD3 (mostly just being in the show), revenge, attention x2, babysitting

Dislikes: the concept that the Split was his peak, being forgotten, Rory, vulnerability, humiliation, losing or being wrong in any way, opening his eyes to “reality”

Traits:

Elle

In most Magical Girl shows, there is a mentor character. Usually in the form of a small animal or creature, there is someone brought down to bring our main character into their best selves. In this show, that is Elle. Elle is Rory’s fairy, a mentor character created at the exact same time as Rory. He is of a species of shapeshifting fairies, who transform themselves into the most comfortable and/or persuadable image to coax magical girls into their protective role. Other fairies became fancy-looking animal-based creatures that ended up as the show’s mascot. Elle became something. But then Rory deviated. So now Elle does whatever he wants.

Magic is Elle’s entire thing. It’s why he was made: to be Rory’s mentor on Typas and all things magical. He is able to channel a higher power of energy in general and has multiple special attacks and weapons as a result. He’s only really there as a plan D, however. For the most part he likes making the MCs do the hard stuff, usually only coming around to heal and revert any damage/casualties caused by the fight. His main purpose is to teach Rory about magic (a purpose that has been dried up by season 4, the current season) while knowing very little about the non-magical world himself (which again, has been pretty much entirely rectified by season 4).

Character wise, he has the vibes of a middle child. He’s kind of accepted the role of comedic relief, and loves being the one to make his friends laugh with his terrible jokes (the worse the better). They don't laugh much otherwise. If he has any issues, he tends to lean into his stereotypes far too much, a bit too afraid to be any type of unique and very insecure as a result. Some of the cliches Elle's been labeled with make it seem like he’s less of a person than his friends, but that doesn’t matter to him. He’s full to the brim with emotions, and sometimes that’s self-destructive. His love language is helping people, but he loves people that have horrible hyper-independence issues, which is frustrating. Elle is friendly and clingy, and very bright when he makes the choice to actually show it. It's just . . . sometimes it's easier to let himself be brushed aside again and again and again.

Likes: silly dad jokes, scrapbooking, magic tricks (the classic magicless kind), any candy that doesn’t have to be chewed (lollipops, jawbreakers, etc.)

Dislikes: chewing food, his loved ones suffering, being useless, taffy, his true form, the cold

Traits:

Yamamoto Yuki

Yuki is the audience-stand in for learning about the universe. Being a whole 15 minutes alive, Yuki is the newest love interest, the first female one. However, Rory HATES her. In every instance where he could be a nice teacher and show her the ropes, he does not. And one of the main reasons for that is that Yuki is based off of him.

She is a true magical girl. Someone who runs to school with toast in her mouth, someone who shouts attacks before performing them. She is the ditzy airhead (despite being quite smart), the girl next door, the most stereotypically accurate out of the entire group. The embarrassingly outspoken literal justice warrior who makes the most of her situation despite it all and won’t stop fucking smiling. Despite her role as support, she and Rory were cut from the same Google doc. She is everything the show tried to make Rory into being, and he can't look at her without remembering the Split. As a result, he despises her early on and does a shit job at helping her settle.

Yuki doesn’t change much early on. As she is the newest, she’s closest to her tropes and sticks to them pretty harshly. She places a lot of value on justice, and is fierce and vocal about her beliefs if she deems them important enough. Despite her love for cute things and tendency to infantilize herself, Yuki doesn’t actually forget her age. She is smart and helpful, often tutoring younger kids after school. It’s just easier sometimes.

You know, I never realized it before, but Rory sure does hang around with a lot of people he doesn’t actually like at all. He only actually likes 2 of the 5 people he spends time with. That's really funny

She will be trying her hardest to learn what everybody else has spent a year at minimum already living through, attempting to find her own self from within the stereotypical nature traits written into her, and trying not to feel too alone.

Likes: tigers, debate club, cooking, spring, Rory, cozy cute fashion, accessories, smiling, Iggy

Dislikes: The Count, the villain of the week, losing her powers, being pushed away

Traits:

Iggy Doe

Iggy Doe is very different from the rest of the TD3 cast. Instead of being created for the show or being a real person forced in, Iggy was originally a puppet. In the previous seasons, they were a self-insert of the creator of the show, Isabella Augur, sent to brainwash the main group into abiding by Magical Girl rules and losing autonomy entirely in the process. For most of season 3, they were successful. It was horrible. In the soft reboot that is the 4th season of TD3, the only reason Iggy hasn't been genuinely murdered by Rory is for one reason: their self-insert nature had given them a magical power that surpassed every other character on the show. WhWhere other characters could contact the show's real-life animation team (the Staff) through certain situations and with the help of certain magical connections, I am able to contact and influence real-life without any aide. When an episode plays, I can hear the Staff and can talk with them freely. If I am near a Computer, I can open real-life social medias. I can edit a script just by being present in it. This made it so the rest of the main characters were reliant on me to be a middlething with the new Staff, to ensure they wouldn't mess everything up again.

I'm kind of akin to an oracle in this way. Because since I am the main person greenlighting the story, I am always aware of what happens next. I won't ever battle with the MCs because I know too much. There will be things I'll have to hide from Rory because they are too important for him to know ahead of time. I'm sure he'll hate that about me.

They are in the process of trying to seek redemption and forgiveness from the rest of the group, working through their horrible mommy and identity issues wowww, and learning how to be seen as more than a shell.

Likes: Um, I don’t know. I wasn’t meant to have any. I like nature, reading about it. I try to garden but I’m quite bad at it. Uh, farmer’s markets. I like vanilla ice cream. I like bright outfits, I mean, I’m already outlandish so why bother trying to hide away?

Dislikes: I don’t like clutter, or being too busy, or mom, I guess I have to call her. Isabelle Augur, specifically. Being murdered. Beau.

Traits? I don’t have those. Isn’t that the whole point?:

The Showrunners

The Showrunners, or “Staff” for short (though they have christened you with a wide array of insults), are you. All of you, everyone who will script, storyboard, animate, and produce this show are the Staff. Everyone in the company who works on this show are the Staff. I’m a Staff. You are godlike in this world, deities who have the potential to do whatever you want (though such actions without consultation are highly discouraged). You are never seen nor heard through the show. Your only ways to communicate with the MCs are through the Computer or with Iggy’s help. It’s quite difficult to prevent you from doing what you want, but the gang has done it before. Please remember to see the MCs as actors and not pawns

Traits:

I’m back bitches. Totally love being herded around like that like an animal. Yep mmhmm love that a lot. Just for that it’s my turn now

Acorn

Acorn! Acorn (nickname Kitty) is my animal mascot. To put it simply, she’s a snake with wings. A blue-striped garter snake, specifically. Very unfortunately, she can’t talk, but since we’re connected, I can usually tell the general vibe of her emotions from the tone of her hissing and body language. She can temporarily go through a magical girl transformation as well, in which she becomes a type of winged serpent - a dragon with no legs, basically. All in all, I love her a lot and she makes me very happy.

Traits:

the FAMILY

Thomas and Abigail McAlister

Rory’s parents were two mysterious people who unfortunately were killed very early in Rory’s life. He was quickly adopted by his maternal uncle and aunt-in-law afterwards. Thomas and Abigail (bittersweetly nicknamed “the Rents”) are as estranged as a teen and their parents usually are; Rory’s distrust of authority due to the old Staff has caused him to distrust them as well. However, they still love and trust Rory, both in and out of costume. They are quite emotionally distant and tend to be strict about grades, stating that he is alright to fight so long as he stays on top of schoolwork.

  • Married
  • Overwhelmingly objective and logical
  • raised Rory from near-birth
