rar "too many AUs" sneezes

 in my defense, no one stopped me

Kratos (YWKON; blade)

> a Dad, but not very good at it

> (dad tendencies are stronger when he’s not thinking about them)

> fiercely loyal

> trauma’s a bitch

> tired most of the time. The universe cannot seem to give him a break.

> very careful in all things, prefers having words sorted out before he starts speaking at all

> quiet, but full of love

> does not trust humans (except Anna)

> very honest and open about most things, truthfully. Only avoids talking about something if it’s painful to him (Martel’s death, Anna’s “death”, his trauma)

> actually knows how to have emotions

> exasperated bystander as bad ideas play out, though can be roped into them if the stakes are high and the cause is good (compare: “let’s set this on fire just because” vs “let’s burn down this research facility so the research can’t be used to hurt anyone”)

> sometimes smug and quietly playful—Anna brings this out in him more than anyone else. It’s hard to peg down but I guess it’s just good to remember like most facets of him it’s kind of subdued, something he doesn’t show loudly but *is* still there (it drives Anna bonkers)

> well!! adjusted!!! (moreso than other iterations of Kratos, for sure!!!)

 

Anna (YWKON)

> will brag about anything and everything

> ADHD

> passionate

> a revolutionary

> strong opinions, somewhat prideful

> usually speaks without thinking, prone to fuck things up because of this

> would also burn the world for her loved ones, but her loyalty is a lot less Defining for her than it is for her dad and her husband

> knows she’s very good at accidentally stepping on boundaries, goes to all lengths possible to make sure that hopefully won’t happen (sometimes it still happens, anyway)

> bold and brash and reckless

> one brain cell, enemy of the state

Malos (YWKON)

> loud

> loves louder

> swears worse than a sailor

> really rather gentle all things considered, soft

> would do anything for his loved ones. Absolutely anything.

> A Dad

> enabler of bad ideas

> very careful re: boundaries

> a jock

 

Repliku (Niko flavor) (private discord rp)

> confused about everything, easily frustrated

> intrigued about everything, wants to learn

> (physical concrete real-world things he can explore are much easier for him than like, personal relationships and large scale situational thoughts. The latter frustrate him, the former excite him)

> wants to just live his best life, at this point

> he’s here, he might as well make the best of it

> easily excited by and constantly in awe of the little wonders of life (including ice cream) (someone PLEASE get this boy ice cream)

> it hasn’t come up yet but he is fiercely loyal and would go to ridiculous ends for his family, he just needs to finish adopting some

 

Shadow

> constantly annoyed

> is not getting paid enough for this bullshit

> hates being open to strangers, very guarded. It’s just none of their business!

> loyal but you gotta earn it

> holds some bitterness towards Sonic, but would risk his life for the guy, unfortunately

> chaos incarnate in the bad way, the limiters are the only thing keeping him from fucking tearing himself apart. They only come off if he’s pissed or if he really desperately needs the power boost.

 

Kratos (canon flavor)

> dad tendencies but only when he’s not thinking about it. Often suppresses them.

> bad at emotions, just horrid at them

> (it’s easy to turn them off, after 4000 years, and grief is a fucker)

> will run away from his problems rather than solving them

> intensely careful about all things he does. Prefers to have words sorted out before he goes into a conversation. Often ends up not saying anything at all because he cannot decide the right thing to say.

> prideful and stubborn as hell

> fiercely loyal

> hides! everything! Habitually tucks everything to his chest where no one can fucking see it. Sharing would be too difficult and require too much explanation and so he shuts it up and plays a role, cutting himself off from pieces of himself depending on who he’s interacting with or what problem needs to be solved.

> tired

> [everything everything voice] regret! regret!

> no seriously he regrets everything and holds so much guilt inside of him. Regrets every decision after making it. This is why he doesn’t make decisions at all.

> all Kratoses kind of are bad at making decisions for themselves and very good at just doing as told but he’s the epitome of it, but during the course of Symphonia itself his orders come directly from Mithos and he puts Mithos’ wishes above all else

> wouldn’t kill himself physically but is very good at killing himself emotionally

 

The Architect

> has already run away from his problems, but they chased him down

> exhausted. Can his life just be over already.

> full of so much guilt and despair

> knows fully that he failed everyone

> “he shouldn’t, but”
