Basically just post anything 

it could be 

Bartleby yawned and walked down the street. 

or 

Mae Agaheldis the Second stood on her castle crying. This was a very sad day, for there was no more lettuce in the state of Calamari. She would probably cry if she weren't crying already. It was awful. If only there were somebody to help her find the last lettuce seed. 

just as examples. As much or little backstory as you want. heck, most of my characters didn't even have backstories at first.

Rebus looked at the crystal Symbol had left behind, and gingerly closed his hand over it. There was a glow of Narration, and something in his expression shifted, hardened. He wrapped the contents of his hand in his tie, and placed it in the hand of an old security construct. “Alright, party’s over!” he called, “Clear out, or you’ll be considered volunteers!” 

22 hours ago, Through The Living Glass said:

He didn't really have anything else to do, so he just kept cutting them down until he was too slow to do so.

Rebus, watching from outside the arena, noted down that Shoe would need help internalizing his ability to Ennull. Assume he can still do that…

SCUD I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS

also I have a piece for symbol under Xino’s quote in my post, jsyk— no need to interact but it’s there 

Beosta blinked. She shot a zombie wirh her crossblade before realizing that probably wouldn’t work. She stole some strength from Livetha, who was still draped around her neck, and started bashing zombies with her fists. 

Snow nodded. “I think so.”

”I expected as much,” was all Mr. Whitlock said upon receiving the news. He readjusted his spectacles and examined the notes. “And you want me to… would you explain this reaction once more?” Somebody didn’t quite understand how the reaction worked and, in fact, had basically forgotten how it was made. 

Mmm, yes, very funny. 

She considered this. I’ll likely kill you in the end, were such an agreement to be reached. 

Yup. I wonder if there’s a way to avoid it, other than simply copying everything I write before I post it. 
See Rebus above. 
The crossblade did, in fact, hurt the zombies - and so, of course, did the fists. 
“That’s nice.” 
Rebus explained that Chaotic Order, when nearby Nullite and Prismite (or raw Narration), would make those two materials combine instead of repelling each other. This process expelled light from the Prismite, and made darkness around the Nullite, allowing the remaining components to combine into more Chaotic Order. The Chaotic Order, in turn, would soon decay, causing formation of structure or randomness in the surrounding area. In the meantime, though, it could be used to make more of itself and to influence emergence. Rebus likened it to fire - Narration served as air, Nullite as fuel, light and darkness as firelight, Chaotic Order as flames themselves, the emergence as heat, and the ambient order and chaos as smoke. 
Rebus waited for Rose to begin fighting the figures shambling towards her. 
That is a difficult thing to do. I shall give you one chance to accept my offer of my core personality in your experiment - allowing me to be with Symbol - and otherwise I shall do what I find necessary.

Ok ok I'm sorry but AWWWW 

That was good. Beosta and Livetha both lasted quite a long time. She didn't get tired quickly, though her stoat spent most of her time wrapped around her neck. 

Snow nodded.

Mr. Whitlock nodded thoughtfully, noting that down. "And you want me to find a way to stabilize it? Hmm. Shouldn't be too hard, assuming I can get my hands on the proper materials. I'll likely need copper. A prodigious amount of copper." 

Rose pulled out her laser and killed the first wave easily. 

Lady Bug considered. On one condition. You use no Narration throughout, and shall accept my decision should I choose to pull you out of the storyline. I can guarantee your safety, though you may get somewhat banged up now and then.

Rebus resolved to investigate Livetha’s capabilities further. Perhaps strength training for the stoat would allow Beosta to draw more power through the bond. Zombies began to break through, trying to drag her to the ground. 
“I’m convinced true stability is impossible with the reaction, though prolonging the metastability definitely is. My initial goal was to engineer a small ‘pilot light’ that consumes only small amounts of Nullite, but can scale up quickly when given the required materials - but take this in whatever direction you think is best.” Rebus coalesced a large pile of copper ingots, teleporting the material from what was left of that planet he’d destroyed. 
They kept coming - though Rebus set a timer for the maximum they would continue. 
Very well. I shall deny that piece of me Narration completely - and Thread Awareness, if you wish. I shall accept your ability to remove me, but that shall not prevent me from returning.

That was the point, in fact. The zombies kept coming, occasionally reaching him - they were strong, and would hold on and try to drag him to the ground - until he either ran out of energy or used a new trick. 

“Well, what made you think your music would transform me specifically?” 
Rebus had thought they were a little smarter than that, but he supposed even the plan he’d had was ill-advised. 

"It was directed directly at you," noted Bacon. "Are you not familiar with music Narration?"

"Hello! Do you want a cookie? I heard you wanting one." Eikooc says, holding out a cookie.

Note: Eikooc cannot read most thoughts. He can, however, read all cookie related thoughts. ... yes his power set does exclusively contain: COOKIE

Bacon munched on the cookie while pondering the ethical implications of a cookie offering up another of its kind for consumption.

bruh bacon is the best 

it read 'hello, if you are reading this then you are currently protecting atlas. Now i need you to listen close. If you value life. You need to go to these cordinents in the universe *insert logical cords* and i will be there. I am Ben. Atlas' brother. I am not dead. I was kidnapped and taken to another planet but I managed to get this out.'

After overcoming his disappointment at the absence of the letter J, Bacon looked up. "Atlas," he asked, "Do you have a brother named Ben?"

On 5/8/2025 at 10:54 PM, Through The Living Glass said:

Somehow, Utility had appeared there before Eikooc had.

Ew, what T~T

He didn't really have anything else to do, so he just kept cutting them down until he was too slow to do so.

The glitter met an unmentionable end.

Symbol thrust out her palm and sent a glimmering beam of light at a withergeist. 

“Fun,” she said, but she had the strange and inexplicable urge to leave everyone in the party behind and go down into the basement dungeons for a stroll. 

So it was time, then. 

She bid a shaky farewell to Bacon, then started for the stairs. Every other version of her burst into crystalline flakes. 

Beosta started protecting shoe, pulling energy from Livetha. She lasted a long, long time, but eventually her energy supply cut off and both she and the stoat fell unconscious. 

"Hey, wait a minute," said Bacon suspiciously. "What's going on? Does this have something to do with zombies? I've been getting the feeling that zombies are important, but I can't pinpoint exactly why..."

Eventually, Beosta collapsed. 

Rose swung the laser in a circle, then spun. 

“Perfect. Thank you,” he said, then smiled. “I shall try several different methods and attempt to make them workable.” 

He felt the impression of a smile. Keep your awareness. It’s of no note to me. When you’re ready, then. 

Quote

Did some preliminary sketches 

I’m not used to drawing guys; I’m worried he’s gonna look weird or too hot T~T

I’ll figure it out but basically I just wanted to get your thoughts— anything you wanna make sure I include etc

i gave him glasses cuz I thought it looked distinguished so thoughts in that would be nice too 

Anyway uh

enough stalling 

Spoiler

Also, is there any kind of color scheme you’d like me to try and implement? And can you describe the teleported again maybe? And what color were his eyes again? Any gear he would be carrying for sure?

But he can

Eventually, he stopped being able to fight them effectively- then at all. He just did his best to avoid them, which wasn't great because he was so sluggish.

The word Ennull as a verb has a long and proud history on this Thread, and I’ll not let you break it for the sake of whatever this is! 

Artists make art. Pianists play piano. Ennullers Ennull.

Ennull's not a real word :3

But I've been saying Nullify (and other people have, too) since I learned about it

It makes more sense cuz it’s easier to keep track of terminology that way
