Been thinking about how Martyn and Ren were the two (who I know of) to die in Oakhurst. The most human.

Yes, Martyn had some vampirism through Apo giving him blood, but he never turned. Ren was completely human. And they were the ones to die, permanently.

Impossible Minecraft designs are post-apocalyptic inspired. Like loads of beat up clothes, scars, stuff like gas masks or big old ponchos for protection from the beasts

This is very badly explained but I don’t really care cus I’m tired and needed to get this out (will be drawing some designs tomorrow :3) (also be prepared for impossible Minecraft stuff cus it’s my new hyperfixation after wild life)

Nice Life was so peak oml

It felt genuinely like my family the days before Christmas in the first two episodes I don’t know how they did that

Martyn and Joel’s finale episode was QUITE different in tone…. Um…. Not in a bad way just a little emotional whiplash going from Martyn to Joel lmao

Speaking of, JOEL WIWNNN ANAJAJSHAISHJAHAJSHAIWJSJAUAISHAJAJAISJAKAISJ OMGGGGGGG I genuinely almost started crying I felt nostalgic for some reason idk but AAAAAAAAAAA HE BEAT SCOTTTT

I wish I had gotten Martyn and Joel team up, HOWEVER the BDubs, Scar, Jimmy, and Joel team WAS SO FUNNN

Speaking of BDubs, he’s not one of my mains so I didn’t watch his videos (if he made any? I saw somewhere he didn’t even post them but idk) but I ADORED him in the background of Martyn and especially Joel’s videos. I was so sad when he died and the village was so quiet :C

And Scott and Joel working together?? Peak.

I love Trivia Bot oh my goodness there were points where I was like screaming at my tv the answer as though they could hear me sighs….. but oh my goodness Trivia Bot my child

I loved how Martyn was a bit of a trickster during Nice Life. Maybe it’s just because I’m new to watching his Life Series videos (this is the first time I’ve watched them…..) but he was so much more of a mischievous guy. LOVED IT!! I love mischievous Martyn oh my goodness

The snow was insane like?? I kind of got the idea that “oh yeah it’ll pile up a lot” but HOLY?? there were genuine TRENCHES IN THE FINALE

Also speaking of the finale… THE RED SKY WAS SO COOL OH MY GOD I LOVE RED SKIES I LOVED IT IN VAMPIRES AND I EAT UP EVERY CRUMB HERE MORE DRAMATIC RED SKIES PLEASEEEEEE

I think that’s everything?? Idk I’m so tired man I’m gonna pass out I just had to do a post season yap like I kind of did for wild life

Which also reminds me I still need to watch past life UHHHHHHHH thank goodness for winter break AM I RIGHT (I’ll probably hopefully watch it tomorrow or Sunday)

- To start, I wanna mention that Grian, Jimmy, Joel, and Gem are family. Grian, Jimmy and Joel are biological brothers, and Gem is their adopted sister. Their last name is Solidarity, and their middle names are more related to the person. I just really like the family in Wild Life, and in the fics that I read recently, I interpreted their dynamic as one of siblings, and I am taking some decently big inspo from these fics. I imagine their family to be like the characters from The Outsiders. Idk why, just do. Also, I’m going to refer to these characters as the Gang, because they are their own little family villain gang, but also so I don’t have to type their names a ton lol

- As alluded to, the Gang are villains. Joel is the main leader, but the others are still pretty involved. Joel led them to being villains after Lizzie’s disappearance (will touch on later), blaming it on heroes.

- As you can maybe guess by that then, Etho is a hero. Other heroes include (at this point in my developing): Scott, Scar, BDubs, BigB

- Other villains are: Pearl, Ren, Martyn, Impulse dabbles in villainy sometimes

- Skizz, Tango, Cleo, Mumbo, and Lizzie are civilians

- Now to get to Lizzie. I wanted her to have the same “haunting the narrative” stuff she does in Hermitcraft s10, but I also wanted to play around with her Empires s1 lore a bit. So she’s an axolotl/fairy model that disappeared about 2 years ago (at the start of the story). She was Joel’s girlfriend, and dreamed of being a strong hero. However, she didn’t have much power on her own, especially out of water. So she immediately signed up when the S.P.I.P.A. (will talk about next) proposed giving civilians artificial superpowers. Lizzie was ecstatic; she would be able to hang out with all her friends and save people, like she had always dreamed. Things didn’t go the way anyone planned. She began losing her memories, and eventually she was just.. gone. Joel blamed her disappearance on the S.P.I.P.A., and chose to forever fight against them, starting the Gang and quickly becoming one of the top villains in the world. He really misses Lizzie.

- Now for the S.P.I.P.A.! The acronym means “Super Powered Individual Protection Association.” They’re basically the big organization most heroes in the city are under. Joel hates them with every fiber of his being. The whole Lizzie thing was actually an accident, but did anyone care to talk to the madman burning down their trucks and their outposts? Absolutely not. Mumbo works with them quite a bit, but he’s pretty unaware of their inner workings.

Now time for the even more fun stuff! The characters themselves!!

This section will include powers, species, and alter egos. At the end will also be some relationships pre-existing at the start of the story as well as some of the extra abilities of characters. Also please note, this is only characters I’ve developed! Please feel free to give suggestions for characters!

Joel - Phoenix/demon, fire powers but also faster healing and soft precognition, alter ego is Wildfire

Grian - Parrot/demon, star powers but also syncognition and soft mind control, alter ego is the Watcher

Jimmy - Canary/demon, water and electricity powers, alter ego is the Bandit (<- place holder name, need some more ideas!)

Gem - Jackalope centaur, sculk control, alter ego is the Wilt

Etho - Arctic fox, ice powers and soft metal control, alter ego is Hoarfrost

Scott - Unicorn, light flower power (like light magic and flower magic combined), alter ego name is still in progress

Martyn - Bat/small bit of demon, plant control and super hearing as well as artificial mind reading, alter ego is the Liege

Ren - Were-hound, soft shapeshifting and blood magic, alter ego is His Majesty

Scar - Cat, powers undecided, alter ego is Hawkeye/HotGuy

Pearl - Wolf/moth, necromancy and shadow/moon powers, alter ego is Actias Luna (<- placeholder for now, need something more moon or death related)

Now time for pre-existing relationships!! Hooray!

Scott + Jimmy - dated for a while but split after Scott joined S.P.I.P.A. Still sometimes hang out but it’s pretty awkward (also Joel wants him nowhere near Scott)

Grian + Scar - dating (who would have guessed). Grian does a little less villain work because he doesn’t want anyone to catch him with Scar because Scar is terrible at forgetting that they’re supposed to be enemies

Tango + Jimmy - Jimmy has a side job where he’s coworkers with Tango and he’s been trying to get closer with him. Aka Jimmy has a big fat crush on his coworker

Pearl + Gem - Gem and Jimmy are in similar situations with Pearl and Tango. Gem’s got a big fat crush on the most elusive villain (actually maybe person) in the city. Gem and Pearl collab on gadgets and gizmos often and also help each other with supplies

Martyn + Jimmy - Brotherly bond. Martyn helps Jimmy and Jimmy entertains Martyn. Martyn is disliked by the other Gang members, but Jimmy is sure he’s a great guy

Martyn + Ren - Married. For about 3 years. They met in high school theater and went to college together and ended up some pretty good villains. Probably the only villains in the city who are open about their relationship (they always show up together and have matching names). Outside of villainy the two are popular actors in dramas

Lizzie + Joel - Dating up until Lizzie’s disappearance. While Lizzie was doing the S.P.I.P.A. stuff, Joel was working hard to get her a ring. He keeps the ring he finally was able to get on the day of her disappearance in one of his vest pockets. He never goes anywhere without it.

Mumbo + Grian - Very close friends. Mumbo usually doesn’t question the villain stuff Grian keeps from him, so that’s why he’s allowed to stay around.

Character Extra Abilities:

Grouped by if they share some cus I’ve been writing this for a while and I’m lazy so

Jimmy, Scar: Understand animals

Joel: Walking heater, emotions affect intensity of wings and tail

Etho: Walking A/C, emotions affect body by turning some parts to ice (can be melted, it’s usually caused by high stress)

Jimmy: Emotions affect weather (inspired by @/insomnya777’s fic)

Grian: Emotions can turn parts of his body on fire (purple fire)

And that’s it! (For now….)
