anyway thinking abt characters having a conscience they were never meant to have. how do you cope with being human, especially if it's detrimental to your very being as a non-human creature

can i know more about your oc then?

oh avec? uhhhh sure!! i'm not sure what you want to know but i can talk more about xem!

just off the top of my head, random fun facts... uh

they act very germaphobic, but most of that is because xe has very recently become aware of how deadly diseases can be and. since xe is also (technically) a disease, xe's very adamant to not spread anything, even if xe's more akin to a parasite than a virus. the others don't think too much of it, since, you know. it IS a hospital

i've mentioned this before but most people are aware Avec isn't an intern! they don't exactly know what Avec is but people have theories:

Sentient robot - Hailey, Ian, the Janitor, Cole

Ghost - Lucia, Logan, Insomniac, Nicole

Weird intern - Edega, Miner, Mr. and Ms. Stevenson,

Doesn't Care - Samurai, Lucky, Farmer (aka Hugh, aka tutorial kid), Richard Hugh (hates everyone the same and thinks the robot was a waste of funds, uses them as proof that there should be less funding, also Avec's worst enemy but does not know this)

Unsure, but does kind of want to know - Ada The jury's still out on it and Avec just lets people draw their own conclusions because xe thinks it's kind of funny. xe does like the idea of being a sentient robot more than being a virus, so if xe was REALLY pressed, that's the lie they'd spit out. xe avoid answering though, and people usually don't care enough to pressure xem-- plus, what are you going to say if xe IS an intern. what then.

Avec does take host in a human eventually in the later parts of xyr story! it's an accident and xe isn't extremely happy about it, but it happens anyway and it's very difficult to set things straight again when people are under the impression you're out to hurt someone!

Avec could potentially survive for an indefinite amount of time in a host if they have a pacemaker, but it would be a pretty miserable existence for both Avec and xyr host.

Avec does sort of have the ability to starve! without xyr usual feed of electricity, they become tired, irritable, and generally just more flighty. xe would die if not supplied with electricity after around 7 days. for most Morendo viruses, it would be 3, but since Avec fed off of the electricity fueling xyr body, xe has a much more generous window of survival

xe really wishes they could swim. xe just thinks it looks fun.

Xe actually really likes Cole's music and listen to it a lot! Xyr favorite song is All The Times!

I've thought about if xe had a boss stage (and have tried to make it repeatedly, to no avail sadly), and I think that if I had to pick a song for it, it would be Coordinate Shift by Ferry!

anyway i've gotten distracted by the adofai super battleworn insomniac level again so that's all for now. sorry that most of this is rhythm doctor based, xe's dynamic with the others makes xem more fun lol

by the way did you know i named both avec and xyr strain after music terms? avec mordent was complete nonsense. don't worry about what avec morendo means <3

btw i hope you all know that at the mere suggestion of repairs that involve anything more than repairing xyr screen avec will immediately run away. ian tried to talk to xem about it once and avec immediately started running and smashed xyr face into the floor and broke the screen.

the janitor and ian are both of the theory that avec is actually just a sentient robot after this fact because they keep saying weird shit and acting like this

#pitch posts #ian wouldn't force avec to do anything unless it's seriously life or death but like #xe just immediately freaks the fuck out. this also happens when ian says xe may need to shut down for a short period of time #everyone initially assumes that they're the remote intern (because that's what they're supposed to be) #(i mean hailey may just go 'WOAH COOL ROBOT' admittedly. i think hailey could be a fan of robots) #but they act so weird that everyone just eventually has their own theory #maybe they're a ghost. maybe they're a sentient robot. maybe they're just weird. who knows #tommy's rhythm room #Avec Mordentia (OC)

[i3utterflyeffect]

It's Avec isn't it?

yeah lol i'm completely see-through

(more of previously mentioned parasite-like virus below cut)

i'm going to keep most of what i'm planning secret, but Avec is indeed viral in nature! Xe's the only individual of the strain, and by calibrating the remote body's response time, Ian accidentally allowed Avec to connect to it. Xe kept it a secret due to, you know. Virus being a staff member = NOT good (usually)

they do genuinely end up loving their job, but anything involving Connectifa Abortus makes their skin crawl due to them being similar in origin, despite Abortus being a much meaner strain that is more likely to tear you apart.

this does mean that the attempts at disruption basically slide right off of Avec though. Ian and Ada have been pretty puzzled on how they're just sort of walking it off anytime Connectifa causes issues, but whenever they ask Avec just shrugs and it seems to work well enough?

I would like to hear about your fictional rhythm doctor virus please :]

splendid. here

(warning for parasite-like medical condition: no imagery of parasites nor medical diagrams are present.)

technically it's a virus but that's not how phobias work so i'm warning it as such lmao

there is only one known strain of the virus :)

well... technically it isn't discovered for a while, but i know who has it >:3c

#tommy's foolery #after all. not many people would be asymptomatic from this. #i should probably just tell y'all. but i want to make the fic dammit. #if someone guesses who it is then i'll drop the lore #tommy's rhythm room #Avec Mordentia (OC) #Avec Morendo

Avec, desire and pain!

desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

Xe really just wants to be human-- not to have a human host, just to be one. yeah, it's way less sustainable than living forever in a robot, but if given the opportunity somehow, xe would absolutely take it!

xe doesn't talk about it even after Ian and Ada know what xe is, because to some degree xe feels like it's silly, and xe might not even deserve it, but that doesn't stop xe from thinking about it.

it's the one thing they might actually hurt someone for, but not if the damage is irreversible.

pain: What’s the worst pain your OC has ever felt? Do they have a high pain tolerance?

answered!

#tommy's foolery #something or other about the little mermaid here #just. wanting to do human things. #tommy's rhythm room #Avec Mordentia (OC)

[i3utterflyeffect]

anyway. the few fans of avec alongside me. consider reckless battery burns with me..............

#pitch posts #Avec Mordentia (OC) #i put it on my playlist without thinking about it. now i'm insane

[i3utterflyeffect]

10, 15, 43 for Avec!

(ask meme)

What fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?

xe WILL infodump at you about music. cole talks about music with xem and xe immediately goes becomes insane about music. this is around the time that they come up with their name! Avec Mordentia is basically nonsense that they thought sounded cool but the name for the general virus (Avec Morendo) is like. meant to be butchered music terms for 'like dying (away)' because i'm a fucking nerd ✌️

it's okay that i butchered it though it's french terms

What’s the most obvious difference between their behavior at home, at work, at school, with friends, and when they’re alone?

Work: generally xe pretty much considers everyone at the hospital xyr friend, but xe does eventually realize that not every patient is going to be a friend (cough. richard hugh) and xe does eventually learn that some patients prefer more serious doctors! their 'work' persona is most often seen because of edega though, because obviously they're pretty scared of him. Whenever they're in Work Mode™️they try to be serious and brief and get to the point, but they're not very good at it.

Friends: Generally they're pretty upbeat and cheerful around people who they consider friends! They're pretty generous with using the term, but that's just because the hospital is generally just friends with each other. even lucky got dragged kicking and screaming into the friend group before realizing 'oh actually this is kind of nice. i like being here'

they're very close with Ada, Ian, and Samurai in particular, and they sometimes let their carefree personality drop a little bit if they're worried or upset about something.

Alone: VERY MUCH depends on xyr mood. if xe's in a good mood, xe's generally just as carefree as usual-- just quieter-- but if xe's in a bad mood, everything completely drops. Xe sort of just sits in the corner somewhere if xe's in a bad mood, but sometimes xe goes to Samurai since they both actually value peace and quiet a lot whenever they need it.

If they're avoiding someone, they can go full nervous breakdown, but that's generally pretty rare unless something's gone horribly wrong.

What do they commonly misinterpret because of their own upbringing / environment / biases? How do they respond when realizing the misunderstanding?

I can't think of anything particularly interesting off the top of their head, so i'm going to talk more abt xyr insecurities since like. that's a type of misinterpretation on how people see you. right

but anyway! xe often is worried about people seeing them as a leech because of their generally parasitic nature, and xe's generally pretty worried about being a burden. xe really likes xyr body and xyr job and the people around xem, but xe's constantly scared of being found out.

What happens when xe has to give up being human? To just die, or even worse, become a leech to a host that doesn't have much electricity to give in the first place? To just become another case of Connectifa?

I think it'd be interesting if Richard Hugh straight-up said something that emotionally devastated/scared the shit out of Avec also tbh. like, we didn't get to it at first but i think in a roundabout way this might answer the question because i'm thinking of Richard calling xem a parasite (in the figurative term) and them not only being scared but just horrified because they don't like being reminded of that.

Ada and Ian try to comfort xem, but everyone gets the feeling xe doesn't really want to talk about it.

#tommy's foolery #Avec Mordentia (OC) #Avec Morendo #rhythm doctor intern sona #tommy's rhythm room #this was a long one but!!! this was fun to think about #i am very much rotating emotional devastation for xem now #however i don't think ada or ian realize that they took parasite more literally

45 Avec

(ask game)

What’s something unimportant / frivolous that they hate passionately?

I think xe really hates cheap fabric. you know the kind of fabric that makes that horrible sound whenever you brush against it? the first time xe touches it, it makes a horrible sound and xe immediately just wants to crawl out of their skin

#tommy's foolery #projection? maybe #but everyone should hate that fabric #it makes me want to scream at the top of my lungs whenever i touch it. #is that the autism? absolutely. it physically hurts so it probably is. #anyway i'm going to stop thinking abt this because that fabric hurts to think abt fr #Avec Mordentia (OC)

What do they notice first in the mirror versus what most people first notice looking at them?

Avec generally notices human mannerisms they picked up and the expressions on their face! Since xe's not human by nature and end up disliking xyr original form, xe gets really excited to look at themself in mirrors, especially when they change outfits.

people usually see them and notice that xe is 1. tall, and 2. also metal, and clunky, and strong, and think 'wow scary' unless they know it's just the intern or they like robots, but Avec just sees it as xemself!

if they know who Avec is, they usually notice how they walk; because they're really loud and their steps vary depending how they're feeling!

What simple activity that most people do / can do scares your character?

I think that they're very nervous about holding things that need to be held gently. They're pretty clumsy and have broken some things before, and Ian can't exactly adjust the parameters very well when they're terrified of hurting other people and also being shut down during repair. They will NOT move whenever the hospital birds are near them but they enjoy being around them!! however everyone else is under the impression they're scared of birds because they look so anxious

#tommy's foolery #tommy's rhythm room #Avec Mordentia (OC)

[i3utterflyeffect]

When do xe realize xe actually care about xer job? How do xe react when it stops being just about surviving to xem?

i think it sinks in when xe starts failing! at first it's just 'oh, this is fun! what an interesting thing to do!' but when xe starts realizing that Connectifa Abortus has such dire consequences for the patients, xe sort of starts to realize that being human isn't easy-- especially when One Shift More and Super Battleworn Insomniac happens.

They already like the patients before that, but when the scares start happening, that's when they sort of realize what being in a hospital means to most people. It's not just music for them, it's a life-or-death situation.

Especially as xe startss realizing how self-destructive some patients like Cole or Lucky can be because of how much they want to get back to normal life.

They start taking their job very seriously after Act 3, but unless something goes really wrong, they do their best to keep a good mood since it seems to help the patients, too.

#tommy's foolery #tommy's rhythm room #Avec Mordentia (OC) #avec really only gets upset with lucky. because he keeps fucking up his rotator cuff #(richard hugh doesn't count in this instance everyone hates him. that's a given)

[i3utterflyeffect]

For the Avec OC asks, how about betrayal, break, and pain?

Betrayal: Has your OC ever been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust? Has your OC ever betrayed someone who trusted them?

xe hasn't been betrayed by anyone, but sometimes xe is just so afraid of hurting people that they don't show up when people need them. It doesn't happen too frequently, but every once in a while xe just disappears entirely from the hospital, and no one can really find xem. Usually this happens when xe's suffering technical difficulties, because xe knows Ian will insist on helping-- and that's probably not gonna end well for either of them, even if Ian doesn't know it.

Break: What would cause your OC to break down completely? What do they look like when that happens? Has anyone ever seen them at their lowest?

xe would almost certainly break if anyone found out what they were. they also got very close to it after Super Battleworn Insomniac; learning that you could have literally ripped a piece off of someone's heart. isn't great! they pretty much have a panic attack directly after that level.

whenever xe's breaking down, xe does the anxious laughing-and-you-don't-know-why thing i think, and basically go catatonic against a wall. xe hates being touched while they're like this as well; xe already really doesn't like being touched for obvious reasons, but xerespond really badly during these states.

ada does find xem breaking down at one point after the group found out about what they are, and kind of sat with xem until xe was feeling at least a bit better.

pain: What's the worst pain your OC has ever felt? Do they have a high pain tolerance?

physically? they have been defibrillated once, and it was pretty much the worst thing they'd ever experienced; it hurts a lot to be defibrillated for them, considering they're completely unused to it and not as durable as normal connectifa is. They feed off electricity, but defibrillation is too much too fast, and it hurts a lot!
