I has a hard time thinking about WHAT LN CHARACTER WAS MY FAV ONE and i really decide to count the Residents and Visitors as a same catogory but if i had to separe them...

The Conductor and Dark Six are my all time favorites

I mentioned that Six in general was one of my all time favorite characters in all fiction, and is true but after the bigger walltext about Dark Six i made i start to apreciate more Dark Six, Dark Six could have a lot of interpretations but i like to think that she is basically all the stuff that Six was before getting separate of her soul by the Thin Man, she was just a girl that wanted to find some sort ot place in the nowhere and still in her soul/remain form a thing that is only capable to exist in the nowhere still being not fitting with the place and also the rest of the remains that have a similar aparence, no trait to destinguish them, but Dark SIx is unike.

Six is someone that never seem to give up and wants to survive no mather the circumstances, she could be broken and less that a human now but still wants to live, and Dark Six is just seeing all of that, like that moments of disociation when you just see your life as a tale, we can say that LN 1 we the player, were Dark Six, just seeing how Six to belong in the nowhere has to become like a resident and that...hurts because the residents themselfs besides belonging there dosen't seem to have something else that their job as a porpouse...they don't live the stuff that maybe they want if they had free will...

A LOT OF RAMBLE HERE LMAO but other interpretation i like to think about Dark Six that is kinda related to the last ramble is that is all the vulnerabilitys and Six in the end of LN Altered Echoes rejects and lets fall Dark Six because in a world like the nowhere that vulnerabilitys doesn't worth to much...AAAAUGHKEFSJHDKLSNFJD

OK now with thefavorite Resident...The Conductor, i really love his design and the Lizard man vibe that he gives me of how he moves and his shape. I love how his design transmits me the upside down world vibe of the nowhere, he is like a gigant lizard man and us a tiny human that hides and runs like a little animal, common lizards are small and kinda fragile and somethimes see as something annoying to deal when you try to take one off the house and this like situation is reversed in the nowhere, the little animal is a gigant humanoid with lizard trates and you are the thiny thing that trys to not get caught. Also his desing resemblance a train with the whistle being the train chime and his hat being the "nose" of the train, such a clever desing and concept and im not talking about how in a train that transports guest like the ones we see in the maw the only way he could fit there is being a more thin like being that can walk in the cealings, the entire train feels like a twisted ecosistem and i love it.

Favorite pice of media in all LN franchise: LN Altered Echoes...[is kinda obious lmao] saddly LN 2 isn't my cup of tea and i really don't like it much as LN, VLN or even LN 3[yeah...and that thing after a logn time to think about it is just a half baked master pice similar to The Golden Compass movie of 2007 but i digress] i could say that for me a lot of the flaws of LN 2 are "solved" or kinda compenced in Altered Echoes, i didn't feel Pale City to surreal or similar to the vibe that LN and VLN had already put in the franchise and Altered Echoes kinda compenced this to me, the signal tower is just bad triping in the good way, the level in the library of the teacher finally use better her neck hability that in LN 2 where is only used in 3 sections of the game where she isn't really much present, the train station is just peak ln to me, sureal and cozzy, somewhere that you don't belong but you want to stay a little bit more, as the train with The Conductor and The Naturalist manor reminded me a lot of VLN. And im not counting the scene with Monster Six and the ball that at this day makes me shiver omg...

Favorite Comic Character: The Refugee Boy of the 2017 comics, i love how fairy tale like his history is and how tragic it ends, he just needs a hug as a lot of visitors in the LN franchise, i find interesting the relationship that has with the north wind in the comics, is so weird how familiar they seem to be with each other that the own panel when the north wind calls him "My Boy" and how "paternal" in a twisted way he seemed to talk to him made me start to make an au with him being the son of the NW and idk he has already a little place in my heart

Also he looks so funny and cute eating a rat...LOOK AT HIM

Favorite Area...THE TRAIN STATION OMG...I HAD RAMBLE ABOUT IT BEFORE IN THIS POST I JUST FIND IT REALLY...CARTOONISH AND THE SAME TIME RELISTIC???...IDK BUT THE GIGNAT CLOCK THE MASIVE LIKE COMPOSITION OF IT AND HOW EXTENSE IT SEEMS TO BE IS LIKE A IMPRESION I DIDN'T HAD SINCE LN 1 AND THE SCENE WHEN WE ARE OUT OF THE MAW AND SEE THE GUEST ENTERING IT AAJKGHODFKSJNFJKLFD

if is my last draw…theres going to be something that is verry emotional to me…

OOOOK SOOOOO...HOW I START

The reason why Dark Six in my au [or the au that i have to put glue and like try to make that is closer to the canon stuff we know] is a bird or a harpy like being since it has a bird body with a human face and also, really diferent of Six is refered as male [he/him/it] are...

The reason why is male or refered as one is because a reference of the book series His Dark Materials, a book series that had being my favorite fantasy book saga that i had read, in few worlds, the history starts in a parallel world where the humans have their souls outside their body in the form of animals called daemons, the children in this world can change their daemon aparence because they don't have a well defined personality and more stuff that is spoiler from the last book. In this world the daemons are the oposite gender of their human partner so i made that with Dark Six, playing a bit with the idea that was before LN 2 that we didn't know Six's gender.

Why a bird? In general is because of my own point of view of the franchise, i always wanted to see the wolrd of the nowhere as a place that is moving along the historys we see in the games, when we see Low, Mono, Six, or any other character in other part of the nowhere are more visitors living in diferent places, maybe in a bigger city where the residents now dosen't care about them and let them be and don't try to kill them. When i think this i picture myself walking in a part or eating in a open place, see the animals like birds moving along, flying searching something to eat and no one in the surroundings sees them, or seems to care about them, they are in their own world separate of us, the birds dosen't have any consiuousness to care about our lifes but we that can see them and be gratefull of see other beings exist, we just don't care, in my case i love watching birds, how they just...exist, this is the feeling i have sometimes when i imagine other parts of the nowhere. Visitors and residents living their lifes, the visitors like animals, like rats or birds and the residents just let them be but not being able to, or not being interested in interact with them. I would love see this in a actual LN product, a book or a comic who knows.

Why a bird x2? In my au that had some inspo in HDM how i mentioned earlier the souls of humans have animal shapes, in this au i work with the idea of Six being Noone from TSON, the audio series of LN, fans relate her with a moth because of a moment in the audio series where she talks about this bugs, but in the same chapter she talks about how she finded satisfaction in being sorrounded by darkness, i know, crows and many other kinds of birds aren't nocturnal, but this is the constrast, Six/Noone in this au try to convince herself that the best option she had done was sink in the nowhere when even the aspect of her own soul denies this, she is out of place. And well when the Nowhere changed her she stoped being methaphorically a moth and up herself in a higher place of the food chain [birds eat bugs] but not being able to be totally invincible.

Why Dark Six looks like a harpy? Well this when i go more insane...that this ramble actually is lmao, when i was in a book store watching some books that have art of some theme or a specific artist i found one about fantasy and when i open the book in a random page the image that i first saw was this:

This image, the painting called "Sirin and Alkonost - The Birds of Joy and Sorrow' by Viktor Vasnetsov, (1848 - 1926)" with the description that i read that was similar to this: "This two mytical creatures reprecent the duality of the human experience, Sirin reprecents sadness, hopelessness and sorrow, some historys says that their singing can make the people forget about life and die...and Alkonost repecents the light, happiness and bliss, their singing is healing and reprecents the comfort after a big tragedy in other prespective they can be seen as the balance between happyness and sadness, light and dark."

In this case the duality of Six is reprecend by herself in my au being deeply sinked in the nowhere and after the incident with the Thin Man in LN 2 she is an empty being that has to survive now being the half of a thing that once was one...full of the hopelessness that is only silenced by the ilusion of control that she win after eating the lady. Dark Six being the stuff that Six lost, her personality, her vulnerability [simbolism here with the bird again since some birds are really fragile] and moral compass is trying to see how help her, or how try to reunite with her again since they aren't capable of being one again, Dark Six wants to keep Six alive since in some way, besides being tecnically teared up and not being able to merge in one they share pain.

There is also the fact that in my au notes, Dark Six can sing or hum the song that was in the music box to try to comfort Six, besides of that Six still reyects Dark Six [or how is named in my au, Roku] since she thinks that him isn't helpfull in a place where hope and vulnerability can mean your dead in the nowhere.

Also that in the last book of HDM apears harpys and i love how they are portrayed in the book, i really recomend read the His Dark Materials book series if you love fantasy in general. After this long ramble im going to say...Thank you so much for asking i had this rambles like keeped in secret and i can finally tell you and everyone who read this wall text finally know this ideas of my take on Dark Six^^
