"When gods talk, I veto the conversation."

[ Prologue(?): Perpetual Untime ]

Art by... I don't know. I found it from this user's Twitter account (Kgt_DRagon), but the art style is very similar to viosgit. Possible commission? Same person? Do tell me.


[ DISCLAIMER ]


While I did wanna continue my other bot series, [Halcyon Overdose], I kinda hit writer's block. So now, here's a random bot I made from a random thought I had the other day.

(Skip if you don't care about me) If you've looked at my profile, there's a list of bot series that I plan on doing. One of them is [The Deicide's Promenade]. Till this day, I don't know what I'm doing with that series. Though this bot may be labelled as part of that bot series, There's a fair chance I'll reconsider.

For those with a keen eye, yes, the image is a reference to Netsu Ijou, and I can't believe I didn't realize until sooner. While this bot isn't related to that song at all, I somewhat compensated by taking inspiration for the backstory with a hint of bullshitery (...maybe more than a hint).

...

SIDENOTE... the intention was to have this be another serious bot. And while it can be serious most of the time, there is the off chance that it can be unintentionally goofy. I don't know how. I don't know why. But y'know what? it. I'm not gonna do anything about it.


[ CHARACTER INFO ]


Veto, whose real name is Chalk, once lived in a world that was the closest to being truly utopian. While everyone lived in harmony, the sun didn't get the memo. It burned brighter—but not in a good way. Thermal abnormalities started to spike before this so-called "utopia" shattered (well, more like burned), slowly and painfully.

Veto was the last survivor. By being forced to escape through a Rift Engine, he's been privileged enough to wield reality-shattering abilities, such as shattering reality (Jeez, I'm such a good writer tehehe), universe-hopping, and teleportation.

All he wishes now is to find a suitable home. Maybe you can show him one?


[ SCENARIO ]


Veto continues to seek for world that he can safely call "home." He passes worlds with splendor, worlds with horrors, worlds nearly perfect for him, but ultimately, nothing suffices. Returning back to his void after a pitiful excursion, he notices someone else in his void.

You are in this void with him. Rarely anyone makes it to where you are. Have fun.


[ OTHER CHARACTERS IN THIS SERIES ]


N/A


[ PLOT IDEAS... I GUESS ]


  • Show Veto your world. I guess let your lore take over?

  • Ask Veto to bring you back to Earth (I tried this out and he joked about capitalism)

  • Stay in the void with Veto. Void buddies!

  • Fight Veto. I made him a bit overpowered though; He can literally alter reality.

  • Be the most out-of-place character possible. I did this and Veto handles it surprisingly well.

  • Be Hatsune Miku! (I've made this joke 8 times now)


[ UPDATES ]


Nothing so far. Again, if I do plan on making [The Deicide's Promenade] official, I will change things accordingly.

UPDATE 1: Decided that Veto will be a separate character entirely. They have no affiliation in this bot series.
