A/N: Okay so I got this idea while writing the whole big casting thing I decided to write this with the Master Armor idea I got. Here's the prologue. I hope you enjoy!
The Master Armor:
Prolouge-
The Council's Confrence
*Fusionfall Soundtrack: Science District Version 1 (The original longer version)*
"Absolutely not!" Dexter shouted as he slammed his purple gloved hand down on the table. "They would obviously screw this up!"
"Calm down, Dexter." Gwen said trying to ease the tension in the room caused by the child scientist's sudden outburst, at Robin's suggestion. "Richard only suggested the idea."
"Well it was very stuuuuuupid!" Dexter chastised the young Anodite hybrid.
"I don't see what the big deal is." Mandy chided in. "If bird brain suggested them for the task, then I believe that they should at least be put into consideration. You, of all people should understand that Dexter, since the original age requirement for the Council was 15 and you just turned 14 last time I checked."
"That is beyond the point!" Dexter shot back, his fix accent getting even deeper than it usually does. "Those four would find the armor, only to destroy it."
"I still don't see why we couldn't just let Dawn choose," Princess Bubblegum sighed. "It technically is her area of expertise and she was the one to decipher the code in The Book of Prophecy."
"That's because we don't let stupid teenagers from reality shows make important decisions like this!" Will Harangue snorted.
"Hey," Numbuh 1 gasped, clearly offended by the News Anchors remark. "I'll have you know that half of us are teenagers!"
"Yeah and look what good that does us." Will whispered under his breath, the five teenagers in the room decided to ignore the delusional television host.
"Does Harvey Birdman still wanna do this?" Robin whispered to Nigel. "Anyone's better than him."
Numbuh 1 snickered at this earning a glare from Will Harangue.
"Anyways, William." Max Tennyson started. "You shouldn't underestimate those Total Drama Kids. Some of them are on top of the charts if you remember. Cody Anderson, Heather Chang, Gwen Stonerook, Zoey Gligora and Brick McArthur are some of the best soldiers we've got, it's their world too just as much as it's yours William."
Will Harangue simply scoffs at Max's words of wisdom.
"Anyways, it's more of a formality thing." Agent Six says answering the candy princess' question. "Everything has to be relayed and carried out by us so that we're all in harmony in this war. Wouldn't want someone like Finn or Jake Spidermonkey deciding to raid a Fusion Lair without our consent."
"May we please get back to the matter at hand" Jerry asked. "I think we all have other important matters to attend to."
Mandy nodded. "Butler boy's right. I've got a bunch of useless soldiers to fry. We all know that the only real heroes are them, the Golden Explorers, anyone with Super powers, intellect or guts and the few other competent teams we have. Why the hell do we even waste our time with these other useless kids anyway?"
"Because we need people to do our stupid tasks that actually don't involve the war." Nigel Uno answered. "Duh!"
"Regardless," Gwen continued. "I think we should make the decision."
"I say they shouldn't even be considered." Dexter still insisted. "The Golden Explorers are much more competent."
"But," Robin started. "Their also a great team too."
"He's right, son." Max agreed with Robin.
"You don't agree with me?" Dexter asked, surprised that Max would disagree with him, as they were usually on the same page.
"I didn't say that," Max replied. "I just don't think that you should jump to conclusions like this."
"You're favoritising the Golden Explorers, Dexter." Princess Bubblegum sighed. "And that's not good for our mission."
"Fine," Dexter sighed before moving his hand along the electronic table and opening up two files that he opened. One read The Golden Explorers and the other read CNUD.
"Let us start with the two leaders." Jerry said.
Dexter oblidged and opened up the two folders with a tap of the screen.
*Fusionfall Soundtrack: Suburbia*
The first showed a girl with snow white hair that had icy blue streaks running through it, she had soft blue eyes just darker than the highlights in her hair that were practically bragging as they were complemented with a smirk. She wore an orange jacket and tight blue jeans. On her right wrist was a light blue just border lining white nanocom. In the palm of her right hand was a ball of blazing blue fire. Under the picture it read 'Ice Cyrogen.'
The second picture in the opposite file showed a boy with chocolate brown eyes that seemed to scream in fury at whatever was offscreen. He also had chestnut brown hair that was swooped up into the likeness of a Fusion spawn. He wore a lime green t-shirt and red shorts as well as black sneakers. On his right arm was a lime green nanocom. In his grasp was a red riffle firing a bolt of lightning at whatever was off screen. Under the picture was the name 'Kenneth Greystone.'
"Kenneth Greystone and Ice Cyrogen are both the leaders of the Cartoon Network Universe Defender and Golden Explorers respectively." Dexter started. "Both of them have been to the future that we would rather not speak about and have excelled in their advancements on Fuse as recorded by my future self. It appears that, Ice was able to surpass Kenneth as she came out of more battles and was able to save several at the fall of Tech Square whereas Kenneth and several others were busy getting nanos. It seems Kenneth has better leadership skills as The CNUD seem to be more organized. However Ice's leadership skills seems to give a higher success rate and very few times has her team failed a mission."
"Personal information shows that Kenneth is a pretty easy going person and is easily able to become a leader when needed. He's an average human being, he doesn't have any super powers. Although recent tests may or may not agree with that. Kenneth was involved in the war when he had accidentally killed his friends after a run-in with his Fusion. As for Ice, she's known to be a very cold and calculating person and her leadership skills are known to be a bit unorthodox. She's greatly skilled when it comes to her pyrokinetic abilities and is quite acrobatic as she took part in gymnastics before getting enlisted into the war. She joined the war upon going to the future, she'd already practiced her manipulation over fire and got even more help from William Dunbar and Starfire as they stated "Manipulation over fire is like firing starbolts or manipulating smoke." They helped her increase her control over their powers and increased her natural ability over fire."
"Both seem to know what they're doing." Princess Bubblegum stated.
"True," Max agreed. "They're both good kids, it seems Kenneth knows what he's doing more. Ice seems a too much like a wild card."
"I completely disagree with you Maxwell!" Dexter shouted. "Ice's team clearly has a higher success rate so that means they are the obvious choice. Think about the mass property damage the CNUD have carried out, they nearly destroyed the AI systems of Computress and XANA not to mention the Nuclear Power Plant."
"You forget that during that time, XANA had misguidedly materialized his monsters in the Power Plant and had gained control of Computress' centural programming when she didn't agree to his decision, The CNUD were sent in to stop them and Fusion Johnny Test got away." Agent Six explained. "The fact that we didn't have to send them in and they were able to handle the situation well shows that Kenneth's leadership skills are fully capable of handling this task."
"Six is right," Robin agreed. "They did handle it pretty well I say we should let them handle it."
"Is Computress still mad at XANA for that?" Numbuh 1 asked.
"Last I heard, she was still pretty cheesed off at him." Mandy replied.
"Such a shame," Max chuckled. "The two of them would've made a wonderful couple."
"Nah…" Princess Bubblegum said. "Octus is more her type, if so perhaps Larry 3000. Besides I heard Computress was already warming up to our resident Artificial Intelligence program."
"How about we move on to technicians of the two teams." Gwen suggested. "Surely you'll appreciate that, Dexter."
Dexter grumbled in response but double tapped the two folders.
They opened up and showed two pictures.
*Fusionfall Soundtrack: Midtown V1 (The original extended version)*
The first one showed a girl. She had silky blond hair that seemed to hug her head and had just a strand of it out of place that complimented her seemingly perfect face. This hair was accompanied by her emerald green eyes that seemed to dance with excitement. She had emerald green eyes that seemed to dance with excitement. She wore a white blouse that had long flowing strips of white come off the side and purple slacks. On her right wrist was a yellow nanocom. In her hands resting on her shoulder was a large wrench. Under the picture read the name 'Dawn Wilson-Spicer.'
The picture opposite of hers was of a dark skinned boy just a little older than the three preceding fighters. He had wavy black hair that rested firmly on his head. He had onyx eyes that were concealed behind blue ski goggles. He wore a dark combat jacket that seemed to be decorated with lots of pockets. The outfit was finished off with blue loose fitting pants. Although it couldn't be seen in the picture on his right wrist was a purple nanocom. In the picture he was shown looking intently into the aimer of a large purple gun. Under the picture read the name 'Liv Hex Braten.'
"Both of these two are technicians for their individual teams." Dexter started. "It seems that between the two of them Liv had gone to the future, whereas Dawn had remained here, it seems Liv advanced among the ranks quite quickly, faster than both Kenneth and Ice, during that time until a point where Ice had surpassed him and Kenneth remained a few steps behind him. As for their technical abilities it seems Liv is the more stable inventor as he has created the terramech and is consulted by many others in this field for assistance, those people include Cameron Jaycox, Cyborg, Beverly Anderson, Jeremy Belpois and even Kevin Levin to assist them on such matters. However it should also be known that Dawn's technical capacity is far more than that of Liv's where Liv creates one weapon it seems that Dawn is able to create three, where Liv invents one fully operational vehicle Dawn is already busy on another project. She's that good. Liv's inventions are much more stable and tend to go through the few glitches that Dawn's do, however Dawn is able to create new technology at twice sometimes three times the rate as Liv."
"Personal information shows that Liv is a little withdrawn and it takes him time to get used to people, it is shown that he is psychologically unstable due to the extensive bullying he experienced during primary and lower secondary years of school. Although he has gotten better and has been much happier with The Cartoon Network Universe Defenders it should be noted that his psychologists have said he can break at any moment and that the war makes him incredibly uncomfortable. Liv has been shown to have innate magical abilities as shown by the cafeteria explosion of 2011. This was the only time he used these magical powers which is why we have not contained him, despite being unaware of his full potential. Liv got involved with the war when he was transported to the future by the failed time travel experiment and-"
"Your failed time travel experiment." Mandy chided in, always making sure to see the vein in Dexter's neck twitch.
"Yes…" He sighed. "My failed time travel experiment…"
Despite the reluctant admittance he continues. "and upon seeing what the end result would be in a world fighting Fuse he joined the fight. However, once again we have to refer to Liv's mental state. The war has changed him like many of us, for Liv it's something deep that we haven't been able to figure out. As for Dawn, despite being a genius, she's known to be quite clumsy and otherwise ditzy. She is very passionate about the war however and every so often checks on her half-brother Jack Spicer. Dawn doesn't seem to have any sort of powers. However, it should be noted that before the war she and Jack Spicer travelled the world looking for the mystical objects known as the Shen-Gong Wu and has taken part in several "Xaiolin Showdowns." it has been noted that her favorite Shen-Gong Wu is the 'Manchurian Mooska" as she –and I quote- "likes turning into a fly." It is unknown if she has any Shen-Gong Wu on her persona as of the moment. Dawn got involved in the war after Dawn had confronted her about it after a fight with Jack Spicer over whether or not they should partake in the fight."
"Poor, Liv." Gwen sighed. "It's a shame that they did that to him."
"I agree." Princess Bubblegum sighed. "It's a shame that he's had those scars brought upon his life and he's such a good kid."
"And it took him forever to get out of that mask…" Princess Bubblegum added.
"I think a little hazing is necessary." Mandy said. "It shows who's weak and in my own opinion, I'm surprised the kid hasn't died yet."
Robin stood. "That's horrible, Mandy!"
"Oh shut it, Dick!" Mandy shot back. "You know it's true."
"Well I say that Dawn girl is better!" Will Harangue chided in. "Liv having these creepy magic powers shows that he's a threat! A menace to society so to speak. Which brings me back to the point that we should lock up anyone with any DNA other than human."
Nigel Uno sighed. "You realize that two of those people are in this room, right?"
"I don't take very kindly to that William. I've already told you." Princess Bubblegum stated.
"Yeah, lay off!" Gwen uncharacteristically shouted at the news anchor, losing her calm composure.
"We're still not signing that law." Max firmly stated.
The television host grumbled. "Yeah… well one of these days…"
"Dawn is the better technician." Dexter stated matter-of-factly.
"Did you not here the part where it said she's ditzy?" Gwen asked.
"You're favoritizing again Dexter." Sixx chastised the boy genius.
"Besides, I've heard you say you prefer Liv before." Robin commented.
"Plus don't you find it a little suspicious that we don't know if she has Shen-Gong Wu?" Nigel Uno also commented.
"It seems everyone has secrets, don't they?" Jerry asked. "Surely we should decide on one of them."
"Let's get on with the muscles of the two teams." Princess Bubblegum suggested.
Dexter nodded before double tapping the table once again changing the pictures that appeared.
*Fusionfall Soundtrack: KND Training Center*
The first one was of a boy with blond hair, his blond hair however rose up into wisps of red making him resemble a living flame. Accompanying his hair are his contrasting ocean blue eyes, however the eyes seem to be fitting as they seem to be almost bragging. He was wearing an ocean blue shirt and green shorts. On his wrist was a red nanocom. In his hands was a broad sword that he held in both of his hands, clearly in mid downward slash. Under the picture was the name 'Gus Test.'
The next picture was of another boy, he had caramel coloured skin and oddly enough sky blue hair, hidden under a helmet stylized after a certain mischievous imaginary friend. He had chocolate brown eyes that seemed to glow in the picture. He was wearing an open red jacket with a blue shirt inside and blue jeans. On his wrist was a sky blue nanocom. It was apparent that he was in mid punch in the picture and mounted on his hands were mechanical fists stylized over a certain nanite user. Under the picture read the name 'Ace Damnitwhycan'trememberhislastname.'
"Here we have Gus Test and Ace Istillcan'trememberhisdamnlastname." Dexter started. "Both of them are known as the muscles behind their teams. It seems Gus' style of fighting is more controlled than Ace's developed strategy. Ace and Gus both aren't geniuses however they have shown to have moderate intelligence. Gus has prepared most of the battle plans of the Golden Explorers whereas Ace has been shown to have helped Liv Hexbraten with their battle vehicle and other inventions, not to mention the science and mathematics courses that he had passed in Providence training."
"As for personal information, we'll begin with Ace. Ace seems to be quite happy with himself, he gets along well with his team quite well and he gets along well with practically everyone. However as with most who go through Providence's training he's very loyal and at times can only see the mission's success over the wellbeing of others, though he has gotten better thanks to mostly Liv and Epic. It is confirmed that Ace has no powers, and unless something happens to him, he never will. He got involved in the war after the tragic death of his imaginary friend 'Bonsai' and –ironically- getting saved by WHOOP. As for Gus, he's very arrogant, cocky and loves to hurt and destroy the self esteems of others, he was once Liv's primary bully. He only really gets along well with his team and others like him. He also has shown to not have any special abilities like Ace. Gus was involved in the war upon arriving in the future after the failed time travel experiment –stop glaring at me like that, Mandy- where he wanted to prove to the world, and I quote, 'just how awesome he really is.'"
"Ace is such a fine lad." Jerry announced. "It's a pity he got involved with Providence. His father was such a wonderful WHOOP agent."
"Anything you could've taught him we did much better." Six replied, defending his agency. "I think that it's because of us that Ace is the man he is today."
"I completely disagree!" Jerry uncharacteristically shouted. "Look at Sam, Clover and Alex. They are wonderful agents and are quite instrumental to the aiding our side. Not to mention their quite high on the leader boards."
"Rex is higher." Si\x simply commented.
"Regardless, that is one Providence Agent over my three girls." He replied.
"I don't see what's so good about practically raising a couple of Charlie's Angels rejects?" Six smirked.
"That's enough!" Gwen shouted, eyes glowing their radiant pink. "Honestly you guys need to get over this stupid feud between WHOOP and Providence."
"Moving on…" Robin says, trying to divert the conversation back to the original topic. "I don't really like Gus."
"I second that." Princess Bubblegum says.
"Same." Gwen agrees.
"You're just saying that because you have your little girl crushes on Liv!" Will Harangue shouted.
"He's not really my type." Princess Bubblegum replied. "That and he's too young."
"I've got Kevin." Gwen said. "Liv is more like your little brother's cute friend. I'm more protective over him if anything."
"I like Gus' style." Mandy commented. "If Ice isn't the best out of them then it's definitely him."
"Gus has interesting methods but he's definitely the superior." Dexter said.
"I prefer Ace." Both Jerry and Sixx say simultaneously before realizing this and glaring at each other.
"I'm going with Ace." Max says.
"Let's just get to the last two!" Will Harangue shouts. "We need to come up with the final vote quickly."
"Fine." Dexter said, not at all happy with the news anchor's tone. He double tapped the two folders once more two show a picture of a boy and a girl.
*Fusionfall Soundtrack: Seaside*
The girl had short almost boyish blonde hair and emerald green eyes that seemed to be laughing with joy. She wore a frilly pink blouse –which is uncharacteristically girly to those who know her well- and blue jeans that hugged her rather boyish her wrist was an orange nanocom. In the picture she was in a defensive stance with her sword in one hand. Under the picture was the name 'Smile O'Connor.'
Next was the boy. He was a young boy with chocolate brown eyes that were concealed behind a black mask not very dissimilar to Robin's and apparently white hair that appeared to be bleached that was mostly concealed under a comically large jester hat. Also among his attire was a black shirt that had a dark white skull on it and sleeves that were made up of interchanging red and yellow stripes and finishing off the outfit were his blue jeans. On his wrist was a red nanocom. He was currently in a defensive stance with his right skull sword protectively in front of him with his left hand ready to grasp the sword if needed. Under the picture was the name 'Epic Kingdom Mansfield.'
"Ladies and gentlemen, the final members of the Cartoon Network Universe Defenders and the Golden Explorers are Epic Kingdom Mansfield-"
"He prefers to go by Epic KingdomMan, Dexter." Princess Bubblegum corrected him.
"I am being professional, Princess." Dexter growled.
"Still, we must respect his wishes." The Princess insisted.
"Moving on… Epic KingdomMan and Smile O'Connor are the well-rounded and arguably best fighters of their respective teams. It seems that their individual fighting styles are similar and yet different. Both of them are quite quick with their swords and can easily find their ways out of the enemy's attacks. Smile she uses a series of acrobatics to maneuver her way through enemies and she will usually incorporate these into her attacks. Whereas Epic's attacks seem to be more reckless and free roaming throughout the throng of Fusions nothing organized with it."
"As for personal information, we'll begin with Epic. Epic is probably one of the happiest people in the world at this point in time, his optimism is quite contagious and he seems to be able to make anyone happy. Epic doesn't have any powers and won't develop any. Epic joined the war after he and Smile\ stopped the gravi-train system from exploding on one of it's rounds to which he joined the Golden Explorers with her. It only wasn't till afterwards that he joined the Cartoon Network Universe Defenders –for whatever foolish reason I have no idea. As for Smile she seems to have a very similar personality to Epic. We have reasons to doubt whether Smile has any enhanced abilities. She's the daughter of one of the current CEO of one of the leading tech companies and their know to use human test subjects, law enforcement still hasn't been able to officially prove or disprove this clear fact and we're not sure if Smile has been involved. Her acrobatics lead me to believe that she has though. Needless to say she officially got involved in the war after meeting Ice for the first time."
"That poor girl." Gwen sighed. "How could her mother subject her to possibly lethal experiments like that."
"We don't know if it's true, Gwen." Max said trying to calm his granddaughter.
"I'd say its hard to tell between the two of them." Robin sighs.
"I don't it's obvious that Smile is much better." Mandy replies.
"Epic's great on the battlefield." Numbuh 1 commented. "He's saved my ass more times than the number of fingers I have."
"Smile is clearly better." Dexter stated.
"Epic is clearly better." Will Harangue commented. "Any kind of advantage over the rest of us is dangerous, even if it is only suspected."
"Can we make the final verdict?" Gwen asked.
"Yes." Dexter smirked. "I think it's time."
"The Cartoon Network Universe Defenders vs. The Golden Explorers in pursuit of the master armor. Please one by one vote who you think is best." Computress' voice rang out from the table that had changed to allow them to vote.
*Fusionfall Soundtrack: Character Creation*
"I vote in favor of The Golden Explorers." Dexter said, tapping the screen. "They are clearly the obvious choice."
"The CNUD." Max stated before tapping his vote. "I feel they're various skills and compatibility is better for this mission."
"Despite not wanting to agree with Dorkster, here." Mandy started, receiving a glare from the scientist. "I think it should be The Golden Explorers. They seem stronger and are much more capable of handling such an important task."
"The CNUD." Gwen tapped her response. "Dawn said that it should be them to do it and I trust her judgment."
"The Cartoon Network Universe Defenders." Jerry stated. "They have the son of Norman on their side. It would make my dear friend proud to see his son do something this great in his absence."
"Normally I wouldn't agree with Jerry." Six sighed as he tapped his response. "But, I know Ace and his team will do well here. Providence always creates heroes."
"Gonna go with the CNUD here." Robin smirked. "I think they'll be able to handle it."
"Naturally I would vote for the group I'm closer with." Numbuh 1 announced. "However, Ice and The Golden Explorers have never let us down."
"The CNUD." Bubblegum stated. "The Golden Explorers just have too many issues. They just worry me."
Will Harangue said nothing and didn't bother to tap anything on the screen.
"Any problems, William?" Dexter asked, his patience with the man clearly thin.
"Yes." The man answered. "I don't want to vote for either of them! They both have threats to society on their teams."
"See," Gwen glared at the news anchor. "This is why Bubblegum and I feel he should be removed!"
"I agree." Max Tennyson said. "Pick someone, William."
"Your prejudice only further jeopardizes your position." PB stated matter-of-factly. "You'll regret each and everything you say one day."
"Just pick one so I can go the hell home!" Mandy shouted.
"Fine." Will Harangue sighed before tapping a team. "At least you guys seem to be less dangerous."
Ignoring those comments the computer began to tally the results.
*Fusionfall Soundtrack: Never Say Never!*
"The Council of Ten has decided that The Cartoon Network Universe Defenders win with a total of 6 to 4." The computer said.
"Impossible!" Dexter shouted. "The Golden Explorers must fulfill this task!"
"They won. You lost. Get over it ginger tech man." Mandy stated.
"Send them to me at the Pimpleback Mountains tomorrow morning." Gwen told Dexter. "As soon they finish with the Cyberus outside I'll talk to them with Dawn about locating the first piece."
"This is a horrible idea." Dexter sighed.
"Cheer up, son." Max smiled at him. "Those four could surprise you."
Dexter grumbled, the Master Armor was a key feature in this war, he was quite afraid of them of all people finding it. Dexter knew he was going to regret this.
Boom! I am awesome! So basically this is about The CNUD looking for the master armor I already wanna do my "Master Helmet" chapter because I have an incredibly awesome idea for it. I won't spoil it though. But I suppose tyou should think of this more like Xiaolin Showdown, with looking for these pieces, dealing with interference from other characters and of course the occasional Fusion that wants to get involved.
Spoiler alert:
Here are the Fusions you should expect to see: Fusion Mike, Mojo, Ben, Dexter, Grim and probably a few more when I think of them those are the ones I know you'll see. Some of the ones you might see include Fusions of Dawn, Raven and Leshawna. CN character's I know you'll see are: Gwen Tennyson, Patsy, Mike and at the least two of his personalities (try to humor me and guess which ones), Samurai Jack, Charmcaster, Leshawna and Raven. But the question is when these characters and how often they'll appear. Mwahaha.
Present Day Ways A/N:
Um… I think there's a lot to say about this one. I am mixed on the interpretation of the Council of 10 here but it is really the only one I have written with all of them together. Kidzues' take on them in his oneshot is a lot of fun too.
Characterization is something that I guess I didn't have down quite as well back then lol and this reads as a little too petty but not in the way I would have made today. I don't know if I'm going to do anything with these but admittedly there have been a couple of scenes from these fics I've been wanting to rewrite and while I'm not returning to it, maybe I might give this one another shot because I know I could probably do this one a lot better now and I guess wouldn't be too much of a hassle. But it would just be this chapter and only this chapter.
Granted, it's not the worst, I think Dexter and Mandy's dynamic is pretty funny here and I had some sort of an idea between Agent Six and Jerry.
Another thing I'm admittedly not happy with is my clear Liv favoritism cuz he's my expy out of all the characters. Being a kid and all and y'know the usual "Man, I cringed and oh… the pain, my neck" and all that jazz haha. I have certainly been saying that a lot in this fic because well, I have been lol.
But with that said, I honestly forgot that Liv is maybe magic though and I think it was because I had named him "Hex" but really that was only because I thought the name "Hex" was cool when I was making my Fusionfall character in what 2008? I was like 10? And I guess I decided to think I could do something with that. I think he was cursed or something? I don't know? I genuinely don't remember and I think I had a plan but I forgor
Liv is the pinnacle of a child's oh so special OC that is just them and nothing else and he's just so lame and I appreciate him for getting all the bad character writing out of me because I have much better ones now, but yeesh.
Uh… I forgot Ace's last name. Ace was a member of the CNUD who was a good friend's of ours who kinda dipped off of the face of the earth. I doubt that he's reading this but you were always cool man and we all have missed ya.
So it's because of that, I couldn't ask him at the time and came up with a lot of the stuff for his character on my own. Bonsai and his backstory for example, was a product of him being a big fan of Foster's Home for Imaginary friends and having a pfp that was of Bloo's Friend Card that I always liked.
Uh… Backstory stuff for Epic and Kenneth come from their creators but reinterpreted for my universe. I don't entirely know how I would have done their stories, but Epic's certainly started to take more form here. Smile especially was also Epic's stuff that I did. Golden Explorers I admittedly took their templates and took a more Cartoon Network approach to them to varying degrees.
I guess there isn't a ton else to say other than all of that though. So I guess let's move onto the next one.
