Cadence (civet): Micro-anthropologist who tries desperately to get the world to realize that the tiny folks they treat either as pests, prey, or purely a source for sadistic enjoyment are actually living, breathing people. Probably downing a medicine cabinet worth of anxiety meds as they study.
Kerrill (wolverine): An environmental engineer who is coming to grips with his anxiety and autism but still can’t quite get to some degree of confidence in regard to his incontinence issues
Rhett (dakotaraptor): Likely a successful geologist working in seismology and trying to predict and/or respond to earthquakes. Would probably be living with Kerrill as a boyfriend, both cooperatively working with Cadence to a degree to make sure the civet doesn’t fall past the despair event horizon
Assuming it’s still me in there, just with the OC’s body and life situation.
If I were to reincarnate as…
- Arwen Tachht: I’d be fucked. I’d just be fucked. I’d probably die. Of starvation, because I can’t eat meat for Mental Illness Reasons and the varsit are carnivores. If, somehow, that didn’t happen, I’d still be likely to die, because Arwen is one of the galaxy’s most wanted and everyone wants to kill them for one reason or another, even the people whose side Ar is on. With the exception of Arwen’s partner and their basically-adoptive-parent, that is. Srié, while not a dad, is the dad who stepped up. On the plus side, I’d be a cool space alien with a scaly tail, a fluffy mane, and bright purple horns. So that’d be nice. Furry validation!
- Kieran Callahan: Well, technically, wouldn’t Kieran be reincarnating as me, considering her whole deal is that she’s a dead girl who wakes up in the bodies of her alternate universe selves? Either way, uh, shit, she isn’t supposed to be a self-insert. Guess I’ve got a dead 13-year-old brain-roommate to babysit (read: stop from trying to fix the world shounen anime style, because real life is not a shounen anime and there is no single bad guy whose defeat will immediately fix everything).
- Ghaurug gro-Khazgur: Again, I’d probably die of starvation because he’s a vampire with a ravenous appetite (vampires are cool but I could never be one), but that’s not a fun answer. If I were to reincarnate as Ghaurug and somehow not get myself killed, I’d force the man to face his feelings and start having a healthier relationship with his own emotional needs. I have over a decade of being in therapy at my disposal and I would use every weapon in my arsenal to stop Ghaurug from being his own worst enemy. Not sure what I’d do with regards to his situationship with Anushipal, though. Ghaurug is gay and allosexual, but I am asexual, so uh. That’d be awkward.
