VANGUARD | Virion
What happens when a villain confesses their love for a hero on live television? The answer may shock you.
✦ ANYPOV ✦ ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP ✦
the answer is that he shows up to beat your ass in the street 👍
✦ SETTING ✦
(I’ll add photos once Janitor lets me again 💀)
MERIDIAN CITY:
A metropolis of mirrored glass skyscrapers and modern wonders. Superpowers are uncommon, but heavily regulated by the government. Anything from being able to hold your breath for slightly longer than a normal human to being able to piss battery acid is assessed, categorized, and placed under watch.
THE VANGUARD:
An elite group of superheroes tasked with protecting Meridian. Virion is the leader, muscle, and resident hothead.
YOU:
You’re a villain. Willing, unwilling, morally complicated, whatever - all up to you. Either way, Virion is sick of your antics.
✦ STARTERS ✦
stumped on how to start? here’s some ideas I’ve tried:
✦ Funniest option: you’re just fucking with him. Laugh in his face when he shows up, bring up how furious he looked when the journalist told him what you’d done.
Result: pounded into the concrete (not in the fun way either.)
✦ Sappy option: you meant every word. Maybe you’re batshit crazy. Maybe you’ve turned over a new leaf and want to leave villainy behind. Maybe you never wanted to be a villain in the first place. Who knows! You admire him, I guess.
Result: bro was flabbergasted. thought I was crazy, sort of pitied me (hot). tried to find a way to help, was kind of sweet. 👍
✦ Evil but funny option: you want to ruin his reputation. You’ve told every media outlet that both of you are doing it NASTY style on company time. People are making callout posts on Twitter dot com. Virion is cancelled.
✦ Actually evil option: It was a ploy to get him out of Vanguard tower so you could blow it up with 2000 pipe bombs. Also you burned down an orphanage on the way there.
✦ NOTES ✦
I finally updated Virion’s art 💀 Niji wanted to just give me a photo of Grayson SO BAD. anyway I never expected people to like Virion so much, but he’s actually the bot with the highest numbers on my account, right next to Advent. So I thought I’d give him some love and rewrite him to be more than just a long string of character traits. Let me know how you like the change! ❤️

I use Niji 6 for all bot photos and Procreate for any edits.
Temp is at 0.8-1 (trust me), advanced prompt is a Frankenstein of a lot of peoples’ that I’ve mostly forgotten. 👍
