Bunch of random MTV World AU doodles, including some concepts for stuff. Details below!

More MTV World AU designs! I'm having such a blast with these. Here's "Cathy" Ray, Elfama & Lafortuno, and Flickah! Information down below.

Firstly, thank you!! :D

Secondly... I have been pondering this a bit. I think before I talk about the antagonists, I should explain how MTV World is structured.

The dark world was created by MTT, in his bedroom, although it reflects the entirety of the Ghost House, including Mads and Blooky's rooms. In addition to the ghosts' influences, it also reflects a piece of Tenna, seeing as how typically specific objects don't usually have two different dark worlds created surrounding them. What results is a culmination of both MTT and Tenna's desires, wrapped up in one hot pink bedazzled bow.

What this means for MTT is that the whole world is themed around him. He's the star of the show, which the 'show' in question is like real life MTV: MTT is a figurehead for showing off new music videos, reality TV, and all the raunchy things in between. However, at this point in time, all that attention pointed at him is the absolute last thing he wants, and he's petrified. Sure, eventually he'd like to be in this position. But he needs to overcome an entire life's worth of anxiety and insecurities first. All the NPC characters are looking for MTT, hunting him down and trying to put him back up on the stage after he runs away, because he's the host! The show can't go on without its host!

What this means for Tenna though, is that the world is very similar to the original TV World, with warped and alternate dimension-like versions of his old friends. Characters like Mike, Lanino and Elnina, Shuttah, and the like are replaced with familiar looking counterparts. There too, of course, are original Darkners based around things in the Ghost House, but the point of Tenna trying to basically recreate his old life again, but it just turned out wrong this time, is very important.

All in all, MTV World is a personification into both MTT and Tenna's psyches, drawing from deep within them to represent things buried within.

Therefore... wouldn't it also make sense for a warped counterpart of Tenna himself to also exist? Seeing as how we don't really know what happens when an object is personified via a dark world, and then a new dark world is created with them still present... Would it be possible for an alternate MTV version of Tenna to be created? Perhaps throughout their journey, the Ghost Gang keeps seeing glimpses of Tenna in the distance, and they try to catch up to him, but he keeps vanishing. What they don't realize is this isn't their Tenna, but...

... "Cathy" Ray, MTV World's glamorous version of Tenna.

Tenna does remember everything that happened in TV World, including his untimely demise by the Knight's hand (although, some of the details are a little fuzzy...).

Throughout the Ghost Gang's trip through MTV World, Tenna feels a looming sense of dread hanging over his head, like the Grim Reaper is right behind him or something. He's terrified by the idea of history repeating itself, and despite having very little power in this world (since he's not the head honcho, that's Cathy), he's doing everything he can to prolong both the gang's happiness and his own life.

However, Cathy is crafty. They're both extremely aware of each other's presence in the world, and Tenna is making absolutely sure that the gang doesn't find out about Cathy. Cathy is using this to his advantage, metaphorically holding a gun to Tenna's head to make him comply with Cathy's wishes. This leads the gang to think that Tenna is the one doing all this messed up stuff, and really breaking their trust in him, especially MTT's.

Mistrusting him, trying to stay away from him and- All of a sudden, they learn that it wasn't him to even begin with.

I love this au sm... Mew mew is such an icon in here. Oh and MTT's relationship with Tenna. So. SO UGHHH. Can't get enough of it.

Anyway, just wanted to ask what would be Cathy's equivalent of Tenna's black suit w cane dance? Or just any of his silly movements…
