#token core

-Uses He/They/She

-Head canon voice: N/A

-Is more so based off of Fanon!Dream rather than Canon!Dream, mainly my own interpretation of him.

-unlike OG!Dream, Miracle tries to keep the fact he’s the guardian of positivity under wraps for the most part. Mainly due to not really liking how the villagers would treat him in the past, and he doesn’t really want a repeat of that. Plus he’s found if someone thinks he’s a random sans rather than a guardian they’re more likely to feel things such as ‘inspiration/adoration’/etc. Whereas if he was a guardian, sure people would feel safe around him given who he is, but people think it’s expected of him, rather than an act of kindness. 

-Before the corruption of his brother, him and Omen (Nightmare) were very close. He knew Omen wasn’t being truthful of his emotions, and he knew that Omen was hiding something, though he didn’t know what. While Omen was going through everything he went through. Miracle was also being abused by the villagers, being emotionally and verbally abused by the villagers. 

-The villagers acted like they treated Miracle well, but would make snide comments if Miracle wanted to do something else. Or would berate him when he would act like the child that he was. The villagers basically just wanted a servant that could keep them eternally happy, and would be at their beck and call. Some kindness from the villagers was genuine but for the most part most just wanted Miracle to do as he's told. 

-He hadn’t seen Omen’s corruption coming, and when it happened, he had actually tried to help his brother, but couldn’t get close so tried to help the villagers, but before he could, he was stuck by Omen. And was turned to stone. When the corruption happened they were around 14 (The villagers had turned up when they were 5).

-Miracle was fully continuous while turned to stone, he could still see as well. Throughout all the years he stayed as stone Omen would come visit him. He knew from that Omen hadn’t meant to hurt him. His statue started to crack slightly around his left eye, which Omen tried to fix up the best he could. And even tried to put measures in place to protect him.

-It was around 500 years of this, and Omen kept visiting Miracle. But around 450 years in he started to visit for less time, then just visit less in general. It saddened Miracle, but he knew it’s not like Omen knew he was still in there. But it still didn’t stop his mind from deteriorating more than what it already had. But after a while he was finally able to escape from the stone. -Though due to being stone without change other than the stone cracking, he was still both physically and mentally a child/young teen. Due to the crack that had happened when he was a statue, that Omen repaired, his left eye leaks positive energy constantly. 

-When he had escaped from the stone, he must have been there on his own for about a week before ??? (Ink) found him. Originally he would have liked to wait for his brother. But he didn’t know when the next time Omen would be there. So he ended up going with ??? (Ink) to the Omega Timeline. From there people from the Omega Timeline helped Miracle out, and took care of him.

-??? (Ink) still stayed in semi frequent contact with Miracle, especially due to Miracle being a guardian. As the years went by, Miracle and ??? (Ink) ended up deciding to team up, mainly due to both wanting to achieve a goal, ??? (Ink) wanting to protect aus, and Miracle wanting to find his brother, though Miracle also wanted to protect the aus as well. During their journeys they ended up picking ??? (Blue) as a member of their group, and eventually calling their little group ‘Token Core’.

-It wasn’t till around 7 years later that Omen and Miracle finally saw each other again. Though it wasn’t a happy reunion. Due to the au they were in being destroyed around them. Neither of them really knowing what to say to the other, and just focusing on the task they were there for. Eventually they were able to talk, though there’s not much they could really say to each other. Miracle just telling Omen that he missed him.

-He still cares for his bother, but cannot really stand for the goal Omen is working towards. They stay on semi good terms, even if they do get into fights due to their goals.

-NOT fancy (compared to some fanon Dream’s lol) When he was a kid he grew up around villagers who wouldn’t have anything fancy to say, paired with the fact him and Omen were basically wild forest kids. Then, when he got out of the statue and left Dreamtale, he was encountering people who didn’t really speak fancy either, so he speaks ‘normal’, though he doesn’t understand slang still despite being around people who use it. Doesn’t really care to seem fancy either as he wants to seem more approachable to people, more relatable.

-Took inspiration from Omen’s outfit, e.g. the arm band, large coat, etc. He also makes his own pins that he randomizes which he puts on, has several relating to Omen, ??? (Ink), ??? (Blue), etc. Will make pins based off of people he likes, or just random things he thinks will make a good pin.

-The markings on his face are similar to his brothers, though half of Omen’s markings only show under blacklight. Miracles makings can glow in the dark, as well as glow under blacklight as well. Also has similar star freckles to Omen, though Miracles freckles are a lot less noticeable. 

-Paired with him making pins for himself, will also gift people pins too, mainly gives them to people he’s close too. Or he may give people little paper stars that he’s made. Learnt to make these starts from ??? (Blue)

-Likes to keep to himself, but also likes listening to people talk, so for the most part when in conversations tends to treat it like a podcast when there are others in the convo. If it’s just him and one other person, he will sometimes struggle to keep the convo going.

-The gem/crystal Orb that’s holding his tail coat back was given to him by Core!Frisk. Core heard that he likes starts so got it for him. Miracle and Core!Frisk are fairly close, especially since Core!Frisk was one of the people to help him when he first came to the Omega Timeline.

-When he talks his hands are always moving, talking in hands with gestures. They can’t help it and does it subconsciously. Gets a little annoyed when someone brings it up, since there's no need to bring it up.

-Can is fairly clingy with people he cares about, mainly because he doesn’t want to lose them. Still thinking about the villagers that were killed, and the fact his brother had slowly stopped visiting him. 

-Will act dumb from time to time, mainly just because it stops people from questioning him, or asking too much of him. As much as he does like people, he’s got a fairly small social battery. 

-Despite being fairly good friends with ??? (Ink) they’ll get into arguments, it’s not a lot, but compared to how Miracle is with others it’s more that others. They still remain good friends throughout it all, just sometimes they don’t see eye to eye on things.

-Tends to try to act happy in front of others, even if he doesn’t feel happy. Even in front of his friends. Mainly doesn’t want his mood to bring down other's mood. So if he feels he can’t keep up the act he normally tries to hide from others.

-Due to lying about his mood most of the time, he’s actually fairly good at lying in general, though he doesn’t try to do it too often, sometimes he may use lying as a way to comfort people. E.g. in a dying au he may comfort someone to say it will be okay, even if he can’t guarantee that.

-Near sighted, due to his bad eye, and just generally being stone for a long while making his eyesight bad. Needs glasses but has never gotten his eyes checked. ??? (Blue) has tried to encourage Miracle to get himself checked out at the docs, but Miracle has always dismissed him.

-Tries to think situations through. A bit of an overthinker, tends to panic more as he runs out of time to think a situation through. Struggles to make a decision fast, will 100% think about the situation later and get frustrated as he’ll think of better things he could have done.

-Due to always doubting his decisions he also struggles a lot with his self-esteem. Just generally doesn’t feel he’s good enough, still caught in the past a bit but tries desperately to try to think about the future. 

-When it comes to fighting tends to use his staff, though people from the Omega Timeline have taught him how to use countless other weapons. Or just generally trained him in combat. Miracle and ??? (Blue) will normally train together.

LienVerse notes:

Lien - a charge upon real or personal property for the satisfaction of some debt or duty ordinarily arising by operation of law 

In Lienverse, a lot of things hold some sort of debt, or people hold debts against others. Items also hold debts they hold emotions within them, and memories. 

Most people in the verse take deals/bets/etc quite seriously, and they favour fair exchanges, though there will always be those who seek to give others unequal exchanges. 

A lot of monsters and humans within the aus tend to be rather attached to items that mean something to them. Something as simple as a keychain to something like a car. A sort of attachment to things is common. But an extent of this is being attached to someone or a group of people. A lot of people in this verse tend to cherish friendships/etc and can be more picky towards who they get attachments too. 

A lot of the aus in this verse have way larger undergrounds and larger city/town spaces, and the aus tend to be a lot more hushed and reserved in terms of its residences. Some aus may be more lively than others, but for the most part they tend to be rather quiet. The au’s themselves tend to have lots of open spaces, and quite a few abandoned structures around as well, depending on the au is depending on why things were abandoned. A world/au so large that it seems quiet in the grand scheme of things.

A lot of monsters and humans tend to fall through the cracks either that be the system in the aus failing them, or literally falling through the cracks of existence and ending up in places where they shouldn’t. A lot of aus also end up as voids and people often get left there, though the Omega Timeline does what it can to try to catch these people, but there’s only so much that can be done.

When it comes to the Omega Timeline, it’s large and seems to span on forever. There are tons of villages/cities/etc due to the amount of people, most can also fall through the cracks/be abandoned. Even though the Omega Timeline initially helps/saves people often they don’t follow up on people, leading to them descending emotionally. Especially since the Omega Timeline tends to be very overwhelming for people.

Token Core Notes:

(screenshot taken from Miracle's ref)

Token - An object kept to remind of a person/event/etc

Core - a small group of indispensable persons or things 

Nearly everyone from his group brought something with them that they have as a keepsake from their old life. (It’s not a requirement to join, but I will explain)

Miracle (Dream) - Crown, tassel/charm, ???

???TBN (Ink) - ???

???TBN (Blue) - ???

(More characters can be added to the team. And the group can have more than one keepsake, can have as many as they want.)

____________

The group started mainly because ??? (Ink) wanted help dealing with Lapse (Error), and Miracle (Dream) wanted help finding his brother so formed a team and ended up having more members on their team over time. From there Miracle started to use the team to help bring up the positivity and try to have the group be seen as hope in this quiet multiverse. 

For the most part they normally deal with Lapse or try to prevent others from following similar views to Lapse. Now and then having to deal with Omen (Nightmare). 

Miracle and ??? (Blue) started to collect items from dying aus to try to have something for others to remember the ones lost. Often surrendering these items over to the Omega Timeline, as there’s people in there that document aus and such. Miracle would like the concept to use those items to draw positivity from them. But to him it feels wrong to take the positivity and emotions from the items. Feeling those are not his to experience. 

They often travel to dying aus in an effort to help evacuate people, and to try to make sure no one is left behind. Often trying to cheer people up as they go along, given if people were less frightened/worried they’d be able to manage the evacuation better. 

The team is basically a group of friends trying to make things better. From time to time they may butt heads, but they stay close. There’s not really any person who’s a leader of the team but when it comes to bigger decisions it’s often left for ??? (Ink) and Miracle to decide what should be done. If they fail to agree on something normally other members of the group can take a vote on a plan. 

All the members are there voluntarily, and can come and go as they see fit. Most are there for reasons though, either it just be they want to do some good, or they have other goals in mind. As long as they’re protecting people/aus/etc they’re welcome to the team. If a member steps out of line, often the others will talk to them to push them in a better direction. They’ll probs get a few warnings before they’re off the team, as Token Core wants to see the good in people, but also sometimes knows it's for the best if people leave the group.

Memento Cadre Notes:

(screenshot taken from Omen's ref)

Memento - An object kept to remind of a person/event/etc 

Cadre - A group of people that are trained/specialized in something. 

Nearly everyone from his group brought something with them that they have as a keepsake from their old life.

Omen (Nightmare) - Crown, one of his childhood books, ???

Soot (Dust) - Scarf, ???

Cleaver (Horror) - Axe, carved wooden figures, ???

Alloy (Killer) - Knives with engravings on the handles, headset, ???

Orca (Cross) - Locket, pieces of armour, ???

(More characters can be added to the team. And the group can have more than one keepsake, can have as many as they want.)

____________

Omen puts a lot of value on items that have a lot of emotions attached to them. He can sense the emotions on them, and also see brief memories of the object. He may use this to his advantage however he sees fit. Omen is also able to draw power from these items providing they have negative emotions attached. 

He and his group often go to dying aus and collect items to preserve them, especially if it's an item unique to that au. Omen having a collection of these items. The group will cause more negativity within these dying aus e.g. letting the au know that they’re dying/disappearing. Which will lead more items to gain negative emotions. 

Omen’s collection of these items looks almost like a museum, Omen will often write an information book for each au he has items for, these books containing anything relevant about the au, anything interesting about any of the monsters, etc. Basically having it in written form to try to preserve the people, even if no one else will remember them he will. 

The rest of the group are their for their own reasons, Omen doesn’t really dig into why they choose to stay with him, and he tells the others not to question each other on it either, if someone wants to say why they’re there they can, but if they don’t want to share that they don’t have to. All Omen asks is for them to help spread negativity, and collect items. In return he gives them food/shelter/connections. 

Omen is quite open to having others join the group, a sort of stray collector, and he understands that they may not adjust right away, so if they cause problems he’s a lot more lenient to newcomers, and tries to do everything he can to help them ease into their new life to stop them from causing problems, but if that doesn’t work he does get a bit more demanding about not causing problems. From there if the new member doesn’t knock it off, he may let the others in the group decide what they’d like to do with them, if they want to give them another chance, kill them, or drop them off in an au somewhere, it’s up to them.
