Background context before Flowers was introduced

Classic is an entity of a similar caliber to a void entity. Classic’s other name is the void, so it would make sense to think ‘I am void, void is me.’ However, from the void, emerged the Broken Script. Classic works with the Broken Script from time to time, having a personal crew of Circuits, Observers, and a Broken End. They also have Integrity, the leader of the Broken Script, on speed dial.

Integrity has a brother. While Integrity is the calm and calculated of the duo, Spectrum-11 is the arrogant and aggressive of the duo. Integrity almost never goes into the action himself. Spectrum-11 will kick down your door and beat the shit out of you for all your money.

Flowers is Spectrum-11’s illegitimate daughter. Void entities cannot reproduce, and no one knows where Flowers came from, but Spectrum-11 just decided ‘Yep. That one is my kid.’

Actual lore

The Spectre missed Shady and wanted to bring her back but had no idea how since he didn’t know what happened to the body and he needs a body to use a spawn point. So he thought… Why not make a fake version of Shady? Make a mannequin and then shove an eldritch entity into it to give it that lifelike pizazz. So it built a mannequin. Got the fundamentals, but couldn’t get the face right, so it left a gaping hole and stuck a smiley mask overtop of it. But what creature could go in the mannequin to give it life? Why not the creature that snuck into Forsaken one day without the Spectre even knowing?

They shoved Flowers into the mannequin to create Not-Shady. Flowers honestly didn’t care for a while. She doesn’t have morals or feelings. She does what she wants. Then came the swap au. She got tired of the monotony. She got tired of being Not-Shady. So she took the mannequin body that had actually started moving without her input, and broke it.

During the round she swung at every solid surface in her line of sight, breaking off its plastic arms and making a solid crack in the head. But she couldn’t quite break it fully. So she looked around for anyone to aid her. Classic was watching the majority of the self destruction, and Flowers knew how powerful they were, so they gestured to come over. Classic was hesitant but eventually did. Flowers used the chat function to communicate her needs. “You are strong” she said. “Break me”

Classic, though confused, obliged. They grabbed the mannequin by the legs and shattered it. The puddle of black that came from the shattered remains morphed into its true form. Tall and lanky. A slight whistling sound coming from the gills on its neck. “Thank you”

Flowers appeared in round afterwards, as an observer, or as a helpful force to Classic. She stopped swap!Guest 1337’s rampage by tricking him into thinking that she was the shadow of a survivor hidden behind a wall. He turned the corner, thinking he would catch whoever it was off guard. He was sorely mistaken. As her whistle grew louder, she struck.

Classic found Guest standing way too still. They approached, curious, and Flowers took it as a sign to reveal her assistance. She took over Guest’s body and contorted him to match her full height. Classic didn’t even know what they were expecting, but it certainly wasn’t that.
