I love BMP, so I enjoy creating OCs related to BMPđŠś
**Big Mouse Party Codename**
**Affiliation:** The Big Mouse Party
* Personal operative under Milford Soyer
* Cleaner / dirty-work specialist
Almost nobody knows he exists officially.
**Rumor in the underworld**
* âThere are multiple Milfords.â
Vernon looks exhausted and forgettable:
The transformation is terrifyingly complete.
* His posture straightens instantly
* His voice becomes identical
* Even the laugh is perfect
* He understands camera angles and crowd optics instinctively
* Exceptionally skilled at manipulating crowds
For brief moments, he genuinely appears to *be* Milford Soyer himself.
Many party members quietly believe:
> âVernon understands Milford better than Milford understands himself.â
Vernon obsessively studies:
As a result, he can perfectly predict:
* what Milford will say next
* how he will react in anger
* how he manipulates a crowd
Some party members eventually begin asking:
> âIs that really Milford speaking right now?â
* Avoids emotional connections
> âIâm empty. Thatâs why I can become anyone.â
### While Acting as Milford
This is the disturbing part:
even though Vernon insists it is âjust performance,â
his speeches begin sounding increasingly genuine.
## Relationship with Milford Soyer
Milford Soyer values Vernon far beyond a normal body double.
Not out of affection, but obsession.
* someone capable of seeing the parts of him nobody else understands
That makes Milford deeply uncomfortable.
But he also cannot let Vernon go.
### Vernonâs Feelings Toward Milford
Vernonâs emotions are tangled together:
He no longer knows whether he wants to:
# âMirror and Shadowâ
Vernon originally worked as a low-level operative for the Big Mouse Party:
* harassment of political opponents
One day, Milford survives an assassination attempt during a rally.
In the chaos, Vernon instinctively impersonates him:
* pulling the hat low over his face
It was supposed to be temporary.
But the speech he gives whips the audience into an even greater frenzy than the real Milford usually could.
That is the moment Milford realizes:
> âThis man understands me.â
## Milfordâs Psychological Dependency
They only worship the symbol.
Only Vernon can reproduce:
Over time, Milford begins relying on Vernon emotionally:
* asking him to review speeches
* checking how he appears publicly
* using Vernon to validate his own identity
Without realizing it, Milford starts defining himself through Vernonâs perception.
## Vernonâs Identity Collapse
At first, it was merely imitation.
But after years of becoming Milford over and over again, the boundary begins to dissolve.
A party member once casually asks:
> âWhich one is the real Milford?â
Vernon cannot laugh at the joke.
Outside the role, he slowly loses himself:
* He no longer knows what food he likes
* He forgets how he naturally speaks
* He has no personal opinions anymore
But the moment he becomes Milford again, he feels alive.
Eventually, Vernon himself begins saying:
> âLet me handle the next speech.â
## The Most Dangerous Fear
Milford does not truly fear betrayal.
What terrifies him is this:
> Vernon may become âmore Milfordâ than Milford himself.
Sometimes Vernonâs speeches gain *higher approval ratings* than the original.
And yet, part of him is exhilarated by it.
Because Vernon can embody Milfordâs *idealized self* more perfectly than the real man ever could.
## Relationship with Jack Pepper
Jack Pepper initially believes Milford simply has an impossible talent for escaping capture.
In reality, several of those encounters were Vernon impersonating him.
Eventually Jack realizes:
> âThese two arenât just boss and subordinate.â
> âTheyâre validating each otherâs existence.â
Vernon avoids direct shootouts whenever possible.
* confusion and misdirection
His shooting style is precise and economical:
* usually only one clean shot
* Suppressed slim-frame pistol
He has the unnerving presence of someone who looks weak and exhausted, yet survives every encounter.
# Role in the Redevelopment Project
Publicly, Milford claims the redevelopment plan exists:
> âFor the future of Mouseburg.â
But Vernon handles the reality behind the scenes:
* arranging âaccidentsâ
He is the invisible machinery behind Milfordâs clean public image.
Normally Vernon looks emotionally dead.
But whenever he stands before a crowd as Milford, he finally feels:
That sensation becomes addictive.
And as the story progresses, the line between:
begins collapsing completely.
# Arthur âArtâ Bellamy
A former city councilman who now passes himself off as *just another regular*.
Youâll always find him at the far end of the same bar counter.
He can hold his liquorâbut he doesnât drink for pleasure. He drinks to *feel it*.
Half his face is usually hidden behind cigarette smoke.
He doesnât come across as someone who simply fell from graceâ
more like a man who *chose* to unravel.
Quiet. Cynical. Uncooperative.
He answers questions with more questions, and trust isnât something he gives away easily.
Still, thereâs a line he wonât crossâheâs not heartless, just guarded.
> âPolitics? Donât bother. Itâs just a gameâ
> the best one there is for hiding the truth.â
Heâs got a massive unpaid tab at the bar.
When drunk, he rambles in long, overly elaborate metaphors that somehow almost make sense.
Art was once part of the inner circle of **Milford Soyerâs Big Mouse Party**.
At some point, he got dangerously close to uncovering somethingâ
not quite proof, but close enough to matter.
Before he could expose anything, a scandal surfaced⌠with his name on it.
Even now, he never fully explains what he saw.
Officially: corruption charges, media outrage, political downfall.
Unofficially: a clear warningâ*stop digging or disappear for real.*
He was erased in a way that let him keep breathing.
### â Relationship with Jack Pepper
He brushes Jack off completely.
> âBeat it, detective. This ainât a place for strays.â
Jackâs persistenceâand frustrating honestyâgets under his skin.
Art starts dropping small hints, never directly, always wrapped in detours.
He offers one real warning:
> âDonât end up like me.â
âŚand then, almost by accident, lets a critical truth slip.
Art knows what the inside of the Big Mouse Party *feels like*.
But he never tells the whole story.
Every answer he gives raises new questions.
He isnât a reliable informantâ
heâs a man carrying an incomplete truth.
* An old council badge (kept in his pocket, never worn)
* The same cheap brand of liquor, every time
*(the closer the conversation gets to the truth, the more he lights up)*
> âTruth is a funny thing⌠depends whoâs saying it, and suddenly itâs a lie.â
> âI was right. Thatâs why they buried me. âŚSimple as that.â
* âThe Handsome Devilâ*
A rising star in the **Big Mouse Party**, Vincent Silk is a young politician in his late 20s to early 30s, carefully crafted to be the perfect public face. Heâs less a policymaker and more a performanceâtailored for speeches, cameras, and public adoration.
With a model-like physique, immaculate grooming, and a voice that seems engineered to charm, Vincent doesnât just speakâhe *soothes*, *persuades*, and *controls*.
To the public, Vincent is:
* *âThe hope of the peopleâ*
* A clean, charismatic reformist
* Effortlessly friendly, with an uncanny ability to close emotional distance
On debate stages, he always *appears* to win.
Not because heâs necessarily rightâbut because he knows how to *look* right.
> Truth is secondary. Perception is everything.
Behind the polished smile lies something far more dangerous.
Vincent takes genuine pleasure in **captivating and manipulating others**.
Supporters, colleaguesâeveryone is, to some degree, a piece on his board.
* Identifying weaknesses and desires
* Applying subtle psychological pressure
* Steering people without them realizing it
His nickname, *âThe Handsome Devil,â* comes from a chilling truth:
> He can ruin lives⌠without ever losing his smile.
* Intensely ambitious (aiming far beyond his current position)
* Strong narcissistic streak (frequent mirror-checking, image-obsessed)
* Firm belief in his own exceptionalism
But importantlyâheâs no fool.
Vincent is **highly intelligent**, calculating, and socially precise.
Vincentâs greatest flaw is also his most human:
* He takes the bait when provoked
* He believes *âdoing it himself looks more beautifulâ*
* Personally involving himself in dirty work that should be delegated
* Overperforming for dramatic effectâand leaving behind evidence
* Prioritizing short-term âwinsâ over long-term strategy
A brilliant operator who can also become a **liability** when his ego is triggered.
### **Relationship with Milford Soyer**
**Milford Soyer** views Vincent as:
> âUseful⌠but dangerous.â
> âThe kind who survives in this world(the world of politics)â
> but trusts himself far too much.â
Vincent, on the other hand, believes:
> *One day, Iâll be the one above him.*
* âPeople donât move because something is right. They move because it *feels* right.â
* âWouldnât it be more⌠*beautiful* if I handled it myself?â
* âRelax. Iâll make sure youâre standing on the *right side*.â
## **Dynamic with Jack Pepper**
**Jack Pepper** vs. Vincent Silk:
* Jack â Exposes reality (with biting cynicism)
* Vincent â Rewrites reality (through performance and control)
> **âThe man who reveals truthâ vs. âThe man who stages it.â**
### **Why Their Chemistry Works**
**1. Jackâs sarcasm hits Vincentâs weak point**
Vincent is obsessed with appearing flawless.
Jack attacks the *illusion*:
* âNice suit. Shame the inside isnât tailored as well.â
* âYour words are impressive. Funny how empty things can still echo.â
â Vincent smiles⌠but internally snaps.
**2. Vincent breaks character around Jack**
* Operates from the shadows
* Avoids direct confrontation
â He *has* to face him personally
â He wants to overpower him *directly*
**3. From Soyerâs perspective**
* Vincent = useful but unstable
> The more Vincent reacts to Jack, the more the plan unravels.
Jack becomes a **trigger** for Vincentâs self-sabotage.
### **Emotional Temperature of the Relationship**
* Annoying (uncontrollable)
* Intriguing (unpredictable)
* Entertaining (a rare equal in conversation)
> Something he wants to eliminateâŚ
Like a toy thatâs too interesting to discard.
âBeing popular must be exhausting. Even your lies need good lighting.â
âIf all I did was bark from the shadows like you, life would be much easier.â
âFunny. You still came out here. Miss me?â
**Vincent** *(smiles, then a brief silence)*:
ââŚYou really donât understand your own value, do you?â
* âThe Sunâ and âThe Shadowâ
* Both manipulate crowds through performance
* Vincent weaponizes himself
* Vernon weaponizes becoming someone else
* A man who believed in politics vs. a man who turned politics into theater
* Arthur is one of the few who notices âMilfordâ is sometimes not Milford at all
