#pokeopolis

Due to lack of activity in the group, Fiend and I have decided to take actions towards revitalizing the group. This, sadly, includes contacting deviantArt staff to remove our current Founder from her position and replace her with another individual for better or worse, we concluded that this individual will be yours truly.

so Fiend and I were discussing Feather headcanons and--

shit got depressing 8''[

just a friendly reminder that there is an Activity Check going on in Pokeopolis. if you don't participate OR contact us about being unable to participate, you will be put on probation and potentially booted from the group. no one wants that! D:

there is a mandatory portion that is due on September 1st, and an optional portion that begins on August 11th. sign up for the optional MassCrack RP in the comments section of the journal detailing the Activity Check.

this is the meme I've been working on and the reason I've filled your head with the image of a fluffbucket were-Joke. basically this is an exercise to help you know your character a bit better. it requires you to know their zodiac sign, and in some cases, their personality. it may also spark a Activity Check MassCrack RP. c:

Where Jogeir evolves first, into an Espeon, and gradually takes control of the circus and people begin paying him more and more attention, obviously favoring him over Joke. Joke is overcome by jealousy and under the cover of night begins sabotaging the circus, events leading up to a final confrontation between the two where Joke evolves into an Umbreon and attempts to kill Jogeir.

Joke is defeated, either by their father or Jogeir himself, and for his various crimes against the family disowned and expelled from the circus, forbidden from ever setting foot near it again. He wanders aimlessly, gradually being overtaken by crippling guilt but unable to apologize for his misdeeds, and after several years winds up in Pokeopolis...

... To be reunited with Jogeir. Both brothers are overjoyed and ecstatic to see each other again after so long, and once Jogeir takes full control of the circus, they run it side by side, as equals.

the Twisted Universe (or TU! for short) is an AU where a mass, unknown event has corrupted people's mental processes to the point where drastic, sometimes disturbing behaviors, that their Natural Universe (or NU!) counterparts would never consider engaging in, manifest. denizens of the TU are often volatile and violent, some of them reverting to an animal-like mentality in order to survive and evade the AU's other inhabitants.

characters already corrupted and evil in the NU! would most likely have been some of the first to have been killed off after the event, since it might not have affected them or affected them in such a way that they were unable to function properly, and thus were overpowered by the other residents.

another effect would be that certain elements of certain characters that are not often played upon would be brought to light, or manifest in a different way than is usually shown. while, at the core of their being, these characters remain themselves, their outer layers have been corrupted and corroded by either madness or necessity to survive, or in some cases both.

Examples (from Pokeopolis, where this concept originated):

The Good Doctor: Darius Kraye's TU! incarnation, where he wanders the streets of the ruined city looking for victims and assets towards his various medical experiments. The Event caused his thinking to be rewired in such a manner that his perfectionist, envious nature has taken him over completely, resulting in a very possessive and sometimes outright cruel nature. He refuses to let anyone know where all his research leads, but one has to suspect it has to do with immortality.
