#pcd au

I find it rather comical that the first time I ever draw this character is for a Eidolon AU but y'know what, fuck it, we ball

Agent Nia Sanchez

Age: 25 Orientations: Cis Girl, Unlabeled Department: PCD Exorcism (4 years so far) Details: Nia Sanchez is probably the kind of agent the higher ups of the PCD have nightmares about: a chronically ill, foul-mouthed only daughter of a male-dominated family who, despite all odds and barriers, somehow not only managed to enroll in the Training Academy, pass, and convince the support department to make her a double bit axe that more often than not is being hurled out of her hands. You either love her or hate her but regardless, you can't deny that Nia is just as much sweet as she is spice; she can be the sweetest ball of energy with an urge to help and protect her friends, or she can kick your ass to the moon and back if you so much as look in her direction the wrong way. A proper wild card, there are only two things anyone can count on: 1, no matter what she does, she's bound to end up back in the medical office from overexertion. And 2, no matter how many times she falls, she'll get right back up and keep on swinging.

I wrote way more than I needed to the first time, so I ended up using Elsie's posts as a sort of template for this. And, if I keep up with that trend, then...

Guess all that glitter is fool’s gold~

Amara by @adagiorii

Woah would you look at that. Yet another PCD au doodle between classes by me.

I fear my brain has latched on to Amara being fascinated by Charles dating an actual movie star, which doesn’t help when Vivian’s fascinated by all the stuff her totally-just-a-friend-and-not-at-all-boyfriend-ignore-how-affectionate-and-close-they-constantly-are-with-each-other does, even if she doesn’t fully grasp it. I can see them both being yapaholics with each other if placed in a room together. Screw whatever plans they have for the day, they are in very deep discussion mode about the best types of cheesy romance plots and ways they would rewrite certain stories to make them more realistic. Yknow. Very important discussion stuff.

Oh, the audience wishes to know about Nia's grim companion, hm? Well, if you do insist...

"Chase": The Revengeless

Original Name: Lucas Sanchez

Age of Death: 18 (Less than a year ago)

Orientations: Cis dead guy, complicated demi/grayromantic

Species: Grim (Incorporeal but pissed off about it)

Notes: "Chase" is the name given to him by Nia as she basically had to chase him to find him despite him making himself very clearly there to Nia. In life he was already rather immature, arrogant, and reckless; now, "Chase" has the rationality and temper of a six-year-old. He gets angered in a flash and shows it through incoherent yelling and making a ruckus in any way he can, which, as he lacks the physical body to do so, is second to none from an outsiders point of view. The other way he gets his anger out is through illusions in Nia's peripheral vision, as they both know she is the only one who can actually see him.

Additional important notes: Nia is well aware of "Chase", but seeing as he doesn't cause actual damage and she's admittedly curious of why he's haunting her, she lets him go under the radar. Their personalities and anger are similar enough for most to simply see "Chase"'s anger through Nia as just her normal anger, albeit more frequent.

Nia is, however, unaware that "Chase" is her cousin.

Alright. Story of how they met then it is!

So one thing consistent across all Vivian/Vixen variants is- even though shes seen as an ‘idol- she still very much likes the simpler things in life. She’s a firm believer that a meet-cute will happen with her and it will probably happen somewhere quaint like a cafe or a park or something similar. Sure she realizes her movies aren’t real, though she’s still painfully in a hopeless romantic mindset.

One day she is very rudely interrupted from her gazing-outside-the-cafe-window-with-a-coffee-in-her-hands to a realization that it’s a filming day. That shes now going to be late for unless she books it out of the cafe and up the city. While the sidewalk is relatively clear, the moment she turns to look behind her she- of course- runs into someone. She is still a kind soul though, and she does stop and help the person up, apologizing profusely as she does so. As they are bushing off the dust though, Vivian realizes the horror that if anyone recognizes her as Vixen this could be a whole scandal and a half if she doesn’t make it up to this guy.

Now this guy - we’ll call him blondie- because. Well. Yknow. Blondie is sweet, soft-spoken, keeps to himself, and doesnt really indulge in celebrity culture. To him, all he knows is that he just got accidentally knocked into by some random- if not a bit pretty- woman. A woman who has already apologized to him many times now and is asking if there’s anything she can do to make up for knocking into him. Weird that she seems so concerned about this when it was clearly a simple and honest mistake but surely if he just says that everything is okay and she doesn’t have to do anything she will just— That— o.okay thaaaaats a phone number on a slip of paper— dang shes really serious about this whole “making it up to you” thing, huh? He gets Vivian’s name (her actual name, not Vixen) as shes handing him the paper, and then they proceed to go their separate ways.

Of course such a strange interaction is going to spark curiosities, and it’s not like Blondie has anything better to do anyways. I mean. It was probably just a fake number to save face anyways. And if it was a real number well- he can call and rest assure her that everything was really okay and she needn’t fret about it! Either way, not much to lose. And she did seem very nice…..

Jingle jingle

He chose her because she's the closest person he has that won't completely destroy him because he knows no one can really see him

He would have stayed with his immediate family! But 1. He knows abt the paranormal side effects and didn't want to hurt them (he figured Nia probably could handle him just as she handles all her chronic illness), and 2. Knowing they can't consistently see him and help them fucking tears him apart emotionally. He's mad that he's separated from them. Haunting them would just make him feel worse.

Meanwhile Nia, she hasn't seen him since he was like, 5, but they still have fond memories together. Chase knows he can stay around her without a ton of emotional turmoil bc they aren't entirely close, but she's still close enough to him that she brings him comfort and sanctuary by hosting him.

Plus, as I mentioned earlier, it's easy for him to get his anger out through her because she basically has the same temper- she lets him have his angry moments while making sure to stay rational.
