Chapter Text
Hello everyone! Okay, so this is my first ever fanfic (I literally just got an account).
Basically, due to the 7 month hyperfixation I’ve had on Forsaken, I’ve had an AU in my head for the longest time that I could only get out to friends and comments on YouTube. Now that I have an account, I can finally get it out to the public!
Outside of just the tags, there are many warnings and explanations I need to give so people can understand the fic. I will give certain headcanons here in the intro so that way people understand. I will explain a handful of things and how things will work, so yeah-
This WILL include some spoilers (varying in degree). I prefer to know things when I go into it, especially triggering topics and/or certain content I don’t want to consume. Be warned.
CHARACTER WARNINGS
- There is likely to be major mischaracterization.
- Certain characters that are based on real people have small modifications to their physical descriptions and names.
- Itrapped’s name is Icarus (I got permission from YouTuber I.V.Y.7 to use the name).
- 007n7 is just called 07, but that is his chosen name that he didn’t change again after he stopped hacking.
- If there were a song to describe all the characters when it comes to their relationships with themselves and the ones closest to them, it would be No Children by The Mountain Goats.
WARNINGS
- Tags will update as chapters come out, meaning that certain warnings won’t come until certain things happen, so I will list a handful of things that will be incredibly triggering to some.
- Eating disorders (Anorexia and Bulimia; possibly ARFID)
- Graphic depictions of self harm and suicide
- This will be joked about as well, but mostly taken seriously.
- Toxic relationships
- Child abuse and/or neglect
- Depression, PTSD, Chronic Anxiety, and OCD
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Cults
- Graphic depictions of violence
- Graphic depictions of possession
- Internalized homophobia and transphobia
- Gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia
- Ships will be here and have happy endings unless stated otherwise (Romantic will have slash, queer platonic will have &):
- Azure/Two Time
- John Doe/Jane Doe (I haven’t decided how doomed they are).
- Noob/Sixer
- May change to Noob & Sixer depending on what Forsaken devs say about the two of them.
- Noob/Taph
- Sixer/Taph (Mostly because of the first two).
- If Noob and Sixer become platonic, this will too.
- Chance/Elliot
- Chance/Icarus (Sort of one sided and doomed).
- Guest 1337/Daisy (Doomed)
- One sided 07/Guest 1337 (Possibly made double sided).
- Noli/07 (Sort of)
- Shedletsky/Brighteyes (Doomed)
- Shedletsky & Dusekkar
- Possibly Noli/1x1x1x1, not sure yet.
- If not,at least be Noli & 1x1x1x1, whether or not queer platonic.
- Builderman & Doombringer (Doomed)
- Spawn/Spectre (Doomed)
- 07 & Jane Doe
FORMATTING
- Mostly third person omniscient, but occasionally, will switch to first person between all the different characters.
- Some chapters will be super short; others will be super long.
- WILL have a lot of emotional whiplash. It can go from what is a crack chapter to something traumatizing.
- The first 15-20 chapters will probably be the early survivors and minor updates, aka, Chapter 1 of the game. After that, it will probably go into Chapter 2 of the game. Once everything gets caught up to the point the game is at, stuff will probably slow down and start diverging.
- No guaranteed end and may be discontinued at any point.
- Chapters will have dates to make it clear where in the timeline this takes place. The Forsaken timeline is BS, so y’all will need this.
DISCLAIMERS
- In the case that a chapter and/or plot line has been entirely retconned by the actual game, a copy of this fic where those inconsistencies are fixed will be made.
- Swearing
- Self-Indulgent and only taking requests when no more ideas exist.
- Taph is my first ever comfort character and my favorite character from the game. There will be a lot of Taph content and I am going to baby them.
- I will NOT write smut.
- I have never watched the Last Guest, nor watched its sequels, and probably never will; I will do as much research as possible to write Guest 1337 (and Slasher) well.
WORLD BUIDING
- Spawn and Spectre are higher gods than Builderman.
- Robloxia’s location and size is that of America.
- While racism isn’t exactly a thing, certain groups are seen differently based on characteristics.
- Guests are seen the same way as they were in the Last Guest, especially after Sixer.
- Bacons are seen as lower than the rest of Robloxians but higher than guests.
- NPCs are entirely discredited as actual Robloxians, even by the admins.
- When Taph and the other vigilantes started getting hunted down, it was thanks to the start of a new movement for NPC rights.
- All of the NPCs are pushed to the side in the Lobby as no one cares about them (including me).
- The only ones that like the NPCs and/or care about them as people are Elliot, Veeronica, and Taph.
- Elliot likes them because he grew up around them and found joy in making them happy.
- Veeronica sees NPCs like any Robloxian due to her being very similar to them.
- Taph has apologized to every NPC in the Lobby.
- They all forgive them for her actions because they understand why he did it.
- Rounds happen between 8AM - 10PM. Outside of said time, when survivors die, or the 50 minute period in between rounds is used for sleeping, chilling, or eating.
- Minutes for us are hours for them.
- The survivors CAN spectate using the TV on the second floor of the lobby.
- Guests and their names do not come in order.
- All the admins are gods or have godly powers given by someone or something.
- When it comes to sleep, eating, or that kind of stuff, it is like TADC. It is not needed, but it is something they all feel they need (more so the survivors than the killers).
- Unless they come to the realm willingly, one has to die before entering the realm.
- Breaking out of the Spectre’s control is difficult and painful, which will be explored throughout the story.
- Mostly applies to killers, but under extreme circumstances, the survivors can break certain rules of the realm. This happens under EXTREME emotions, however.
- Time mostly moves the same in the realm as it does in real life. The only difference is the timing of the first 9 survivors and original 4 killers. This means that when characters come out or there are minor updates to the game that would still affect the survivors in canon, it happens at the same time in the universe.
- Mafioso only gets mentioned in lore and not as a killer (TBD).
- The Bacon War lasts a much shorter time and starts far later than in the original movie.
- Guest 1337’s lore is still the same, it’s just that there was a lot of tension between the guests and bacons when his mother and father got killed, and the war would only start in late 2018 - early 2019. Same lore, just the actual war was shifted a bit.
- Outside of their limbos, the killers get sent to a lobby once a week to interact.
- No one physically grows or changes permanently other than a few exceptions.
- Cutting your hair would get reverted back to its original length after dying, and that is kind of how it goes for everything.
- The only character to actually continue growing is C00lkidd because Spectre didn’t want to have to deal with a 10 year old for all of eternity, so it just decided for C00lkidd to keep growing until the age of 18.
- I did this for writing purposes since C00lkidd needs to be able to mature past the age of 10 because I can’t write children well.
- Spectre uses it/its.
- Spawn uses he/him.
- Firebrand, Icedagger, Ghostwalker, and Darkheart use they/it.
- Venomskank/Daemonshank uses he/it.
- Windforce uses she/it.
- The survivors have watches in the rounds to see the status of the others.

- Neglect was mostly just not knowing how to say no to C00lkidd about most things and not feeding him properly. Always reprimanded C00lkidd when he would get his hands on the C00lgui.
- Tried destroying the old C00lgui; unable to destroy it.
- Tried putting it on the other side Robloxia; C00lkidd still managed to find it and use it again.

- Technically 12 years old
- Created in 2013; Mental age is closer to 25
- Thinks thinks like it’s the 1980s
- She/Her and designed to be female

- 5’10”
- Speaks every language, including sign language.
- Chance-
- 24 years old
- He/They and Nonbinary (AMAB)
- Bisexual (preference for men)
- Thinks Mafioso killed them; worries about Icarus’ safety and if Don got to him and Spade.
- Spade was the prize “stolen.”
- Didn’t really steal her, they won fairly but Don is just petty.
- Flips coin as a fidget and coping mechanism for when stressed.
- Despite being reckless and a ragebaiter, all of the survivors love and respect them due to his respect and understanding he grants everyone.
- 5’7” when he died; permanently stuck at that height.
- Dad is just another grey Robloxian while mom is Hispanic.
- Can speak a good amount of Spanish, but rarely does since no one else does (other than Veeronica).
- Guest 1337-
- About 35 years old
- He/Him and cisgender male
- Bisexual (preference for women)
- Definitely has PTSD, just hasn’t really settled in yet due to never having time to process everything.
- Either called Guest, 1337, or 37.
- 6’0”
- Misses his wife.
- Shedletsky-
- Over 300 years old
- The youngest Admin; at least younger than Builderman and Dusekkar.
- He/Him and Cisgender male
- Straight
- Often has panic attacks and nightmares; more over guilt than trauma.
- Misses his wife
- He shouldn’t.
- 5’6”
- Makes fun of Builderman’s height all the time.
- The 6 swords saw Telamon as a father as they were all his creations.
- Two Time-
- 21 years old
- They/Them and nonbinary (AMAB)
- Gay
- Depression and PTSD.
- Songs that most represent them and their relationship are Through the Patches of Violet and Easier by BoyWithUke.
- Please listen to Easier and think of Two Time and Azure and you will either cry and/or completely see what I’m talking about. PLEASE.
- Always saw Amarah as a parental figure; it was really hard for them to accept that Amarah was a bad person and manipulator.
- Found as a child by Amarah.
- Got reworked at the same time in real life; everyone was like “oh shit, the lunatic has a knife now.”
- 5’3”
- Builderman-
- Over 400 years old
- Slightly older than Dusekkar, but about the same age.
- He/Him and cisgender male
- Straight
- Pretends to be entirely fine and not feel any guilt, but the longer in the realm, the more he realizes Doombringer was right.
- Has a Southern accent.
- 4’11
- Did in fact hit those 3 pedestrians.
- Shedletsky is still traumatized from that experience.
- Dusekkar-
- Over 400 years old, but slightly younger than Builderman and much older than Shedletsky.
- He/Him and cisgender male
- As we do not know much about Matt Dusek or his personal life, I will label Dusekkar as an egg under the aroace umbrella (David Baszucki and Shedletsky both have wives in real life (and the real Shedletsky is just a little transphobic), I made them both straight, but as we do not know about Matt Dusek’s personal life, I don’t feel comfortable giving him any labels that would define his sexuality).
- He is the most rational and logical of the admins.
- Dusekkar chooses to rhyme around the survivors to continue his mystical appearance, but he will talk like a normal person around the admins, particularly Shedletsky.
- This is my excuse not to make him rhyme every time he speaks.
- 7’0”
- Elliot-
- 21 years old
- “What are your pronouns, Elliot?” “Why tf does that matter? We’re in hell.”
- He never got the chance to truly understand himself as his entire life was focused around work, and that includes his gender identity.
- Despite all this, he will primarily go by he/him in the fic with some exceptions.
- Bisexual
- He has OCD and PTSD
- He is also a workaholic, perfectionist, and people pleaser.
- He isn’t entirely cruel to 07 as he still gives him pizza and believes that even 07 didn’t deserve the fate he ended up with.
- He worries for his sister’s safety, especially as she was always the “weird kid.”
- Mia is autistic and has really bad social anxiety, so he always made it his responsibility to protect her.
- 07 has known of Elliot since Elliot was about 7 years old, and Elliot has disliked him since the moment he stepped into the pizzeria.
- He has a sleeper build. He may look like a twink, but he can bench press half the survivors easily.
- Taph-
- 28 years old
- He/They/She and agender (AFAB)
- Omnisexual with a preference of fellow genderqueers
- It starts with being able to bond over something simple.
- He has autism, PTSD, and some kind of chronic anxiety disorder.
- Their mutism has nothing to do with her being autistic, he was just born completely mute, at most only being able to make very quiet, breathy sounds, which takes a lot of force.
- Originally it was going to be some kind of vocal disorder, but since there wasn’t anything that fit the bill. Instead, I decided to make their father a Guest, and while not being a Guest, her mutism was still inherited.
- They’re sort of a bird, but not really.
- She has bird-like traits, having wings to glide (NOT FLY) and occasional feathers growing in his hair.
- They are specifically like ravens, collecting trinkets, gifting behaviors, high intelligence and curiosity, and of course her color palette being grays and black.
- He no longer has wings, but thankfully, the Spectre at least sewed up the slits in their clothes for her wings.
- Epitaph is his deadname, but since they never did manage to legally change it, she just put down Taph as an alias despite it being his preferred name.
- The reason their mom named him that way is because she worked at a funeral home.
- They have gotten both a top surgery and hysterectomy, which took a lot of fighting from her mother for him to even be able to get them.
- He was on testosterone before being Forsaken.
- They have many scars, most of which came from her death.
- I have drawn a reference sheet, so I might reveal that one day, idk.
- He would be Athena in the Epic AU.
- Despite suffering in silence, she is absolutely horrible at hiding how he is feeling, which is honestly impressive as no one can even see their face.
- 5’8”
- Tends to look shorter than Noob since Noob wears platforms.
- Someone has given her the nickname of Dove.
- It was Noob. Who tf else would it be. This story is for all 10 Noob/Taph shippers and the rest of you are to be indoctrinated into this cult.
- I probably let a lot more stuff for him get through in the final draft for the intro simply because they are my favorite, so deal with it.
- Jane Doe-
- Due to her not being out and not there not being much lore on her yet, all of the following is up for change.
- About 37 years old
- She/Her and Cisgender woman
- Straight
- 5’6”
- Slasher-
- 40 years old
- He/Him and cisgender male
- Probably gay, but there isn’t anyone in the world he could ever actually connect with.
- “Tf is romance?” -Slasher through his Kiki mamas.
- He accepts Jason as his deadname.
- His relationship with Slenderman and Jeff can be summed up as “the gay platonic dads who are insane trying to make sure their even more insane son doesn’t do something utterly stupid.”
- 6’5”
- C00lkidd-
- 10 years old
- He does continue to physically age until he is 18 in the Forsaken Realm.
- “I don’t want to deal with a 10 year old for the rest of eternity.” -The Spectre
- He/Him and cisgender male
- He’s a 10 year old boy with no actual friends and in a realm with a bunch of adults, the last thing he cares about is romance.
- 5’10”
- 5’1 Pre-Forsaken
- John Doe-
- About 35 years old at the time of Forsakening.
- He/Him and cigender male
- Straight
- 6’0”
- 5’8” Pre-Forsakening
- 1x1x1x1-
- His age is VERY complicated.
- He/They/She/It and Genderfluid
- Their “assigned” identity is extremely complicated, but the body she was forced into was one of a woman.
- Somewhere in the aroace spectrum.
- His redesign is canon, happening after Noli begged the Spectre to do at least one nice thing for 1x because he had taken a liking to them.
- She had expressed its annoyance with everything about his form.
- The cloak/cape thing was Shedletsky’s.
- 5’3”
- Originally 5’5”, but shit happened.
- Noli-
- About as old as Shedletsky, so 350+.
- He/Him and cisgender male
- Due to him being a trickster god-like being, he can shift his form, including a feminine form that he rarely uses.
- Gay and Asexual
- He is slightly offended by the fact that there are basically no ace chaos gods in mythology.
- Unlike in canon, his voice is basically a slightly higher and very glitchy Shadow Milk Cookie.
- He’s basically just Shadow Milk Cookie in general. That’s his character in this story, and we love him for that.
- He often says things that sound horribly wrong and then realizes it and has to correct himself.
- He is chaotic and evil, not a creep.
- In his realm, he liked to be a gigantic god that would simply lay over his landscape for fun and to scare anyone who would come by.
- While unable to fly well in the rounds outside of the occasional void rush, he is entirely able to fly and float around outside of the rounds.
- He uses this to his advantage to annoy the other killers.
- While in game he is a fleshy skeleton with half a tragedy mask, his design here would be a lot more humanoid and “normal.”
- Fuck, I have to draw him too… Y’all might get some art throughout this fic.
- Usually chooses to be 6’7”
- Don’t even.
- Sixer
- 26 years old
- He/They/She and genderfluid (AMAB)
- I am considering making him AFAB, but I’m probably gonna keep them AMAB.
- Bisexual and Ace spectrum (most likely demisexual and greysexual)
- Probably has PTSD.
- She is a cat and has a lot of cat tendencies.
- Anybody thinking he is a dog offends them greatly (along with Noob).
- She is mostly a lion.
- While they cannot speak in the killer form Spectre gave her, he can speak in their survivor form.
- Yes, the Sixer Noob skin is canon, this shit will be somewhat happy (My beta readers will be pissed that I kept this spoiler, but y’all need SOME joy).
- She has since realized that the ability to talk is overrated.
- He still will talk most of the time because it’s easier to communicate with survivors, killers, or simply when they can’t use her hands.
- He’s basically decided on selective mutism.
- While not caring about the scene aesthetic, he did get the raccoon tail things alongside Noob.
- He was very lanky before the scripts and Forsakening.
- Their form as Sixer would be fairly bulky, but her outfit hides the bulk for the most part (he would look a bit more chubby than bulky, but they aren’t really chubby)
- Great, another character I have to draw because it’s too complicated.
- The fur on her coat became a mane that is part of his body.
- They have a lot of trauma surrounding the Banlands.
- About 9’6”
- 6’6” in survivor form
- 6’3” Pre-Forsaken/Post-Scripts
- 6’0” Pre-Everything
- The scripts were like drugs.
- While the code on her body is no longer there, his body is still something they hate as it is a sick reminder of everything she’s done.
- The form she’s taken is both painful emotionally and physically.
- Nosferatu-
- About 103 years old
- He/Him and cisgender male
- Probably bisexual but would have too much internalized homophobia to accept that he likes men.
- It is also that he doesn’t “have time for romance.”
- Spectre has to keep him and Slasher away from each other.
- 6’3”
- Azure-
- 21 years old
- He/They and cisgender male
- Gay
- He has autism, PTSD, and dyslexia.
- They get overstimulated easily.
- Whenever Two Time would read, they would cuddle together and Two Time would have to wait a few minutes once they were done reading for Azure to catch up.
- He once read the word Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia and crashed tf out.
- Their hyperfixation is biology, and he loves learning about historical plants as well.
- He doesn’t like not having their hat.
- In the realm however, he likes the feeling of the hat, but hates the hat itself.
- It is a sensory thing
- The form he’s taken in the realm has caused them physical and emotional agony.
- He could go on for hours talking about plants, and they have.
- Two Time normally zones out 3 minutes in and just listens to the sound of his voice.
- 5’11”
- Doombringer-
- Over 400 years old
- He/Him and cisgender male
- Probably straight, same situation as Dusekkar.
- I’m pretty sure it’s been confirmed that Doombringer is a POC, so I’ll keep that in mind.
- Icarus-
- 28 years old
- He/Him and cisgender male
- “Yo Icarus, you a [British cigarette]?” “Why tf would I know, Caleb?”
- Probably gay or bisexual (if bi, definitely preferring men).
- Literally no one likes Icarus except Chance.
- “I know you’ve said and done awful things to me, but you’re still a good person and I would be happy to be your friend again.” “Chance… this isn’t healthy- YO ELLIOT, STOP BEATING ME UP AND TALK SOME SENSE INTO YOUR PARTNER.”
- He has no one anymore, and he refuses to let in the one person that will be let it.
- Okay, I will say Chance does EVENTUALLY get over him, but they never hate him.
- 5’8”
- 5’6” pre-forsaken
ANYWAYS- I’ve been doing this for way too long and this intro alone has burnt me out. The beta readers are gonna suffer too, so yeah. Chapter 1 will come out soon, so be prepared!
