Kaisou CR Chart 2

CONTACTS
Amal Danny Elliot Jun
Amal
Amal Vasiya

Adopted father. Reminds Varian an AWFUL lot of Eugene. He has that cocky-devil may care attitude down to a fine art. He ALSO has the caring side there too. Varian feels safe talking to him and Amal is always around to provide both a listening ear and a lot of delicious food to eat. Of course, feeding a teenager means you're stuck with them forever, so Amal only has himself to blame for that. A secure, comforting presence in Varian's life. Has really helped Varian with the insight that maybe he shouldn't treat Kaisou as a place to escape from but as a chance to carve another life for himself. Recently adopted Varian for realises! Is easily one of the most important people in his life.

Danny
Danny Fenton

A science nerd and possible reincarnated ghost boy? Varian tends to inadvertently set off Danny's memories of his past life more often than not - something he feels both fascinated and marginally guilty for. But mostly fascinated. He's been trying to invent ways to make Danny's life a little easier as he deals with his increasingly ghostly powers. Danny is a good and solid friend and Varian feels lucky to have him. Their friendship love language is puns, and due to their stubborn natures, once they get into a pun battle they'll go on and one for a LONG time. Danny's saved his life a couple times, and usually does his best to try and protect Varian from himself.

Elliot
Elliot Craig

Varian's music teacher and oft point of guidance. Elliot is a pretty big perfectionist when it comes to music, which Varian appreciates- it gives him something to strive towards! Besides that, Elliot is very supportive and is always willing to provide advice and a steady hand to help him figure out how to be a better person. He's invaluable in Varian's humble opinion. Even if the guy deserves like a hundred naps. Elliot was involved in dispatching Snow's stepmother after Varian desperately came to him, worried about her safety. Varian is endlessly glad for this- knowing too well the cost of doing what needs to be done, even when it's not morally tasteful.

Jun
Jun Kohinata

Best frienemy. Another person who gets under Varian's skin. Kind of a wiseass. Varian is currently unaware he is the same person who wears all the weird shroud getup who was helping out in the dinosaur mishap. Despite the fact they don't get along a lot, Jun DID help Varian learn some pretty solid coping mechanisms for his newfound powers, so he guesses he can give the guy that. If he has to. Jun loves using memes and emojis around Varian, which Varian does NOT get at all, this usually ends up in Varian getting snappy. He also will never forgive The Stick Incident. Despite this, they do work together in the PokeGO apprentice programme and he doesn't ACTIVELY hate Jun. Their relationship is complicated. And screamy. Varian does most of the screaming.

⇓in character⇓


PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Varian's not a super fan of being touched- though he does ease into physical affection with people as he gets closer to them. Just expect him to be a little tense and awkward until he gets to know them a little better.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Go for it- there's a very good chance you can take him. Varian is only 5'2 and weighs about as much as a wet towel. He will put up a fight with his various chemical concoctions and robotics - though get past those and he's easy to take down.

ROMANCE/FLIRTING: Feel free to flirt with him, he probably won't get it.

SEXUAL CONTENT: Kaisou Varian is 18 now, but he's still an awkward bean and unlikely to talk about it to anyone. He's in a commited relationship, so that's just for Jun. Non-Kaisou Varian likely no.

PSYCHIC ABILITIES: Varian has no psychic abilities of his own- other characters are welcome to go prodding around in his mind. Just give me a heads up first so I can plot with you what you want to find. The kid's got some juicy stuff in there.

MAGIC/POWERS: Varian is not a big fan of magic. Though he's learned to accept it as a viable power both back home and in-game, he'd always rather rely on science. Expect him to bit a little snippy and dismissive of magic, and he'll always stand by science is superior. That said, characters should absolutely be free to use their powers/magic on him.

MEDICAL INFORMATION: Varian has PTSD from the events of season one, and has regular night terrors with it. Fun.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS OR TRIGGERS: Corrupt leaders really sets him off. Varian's a former villain so anything that treads the waters near that backstory has a good chance of upsetting him. Broken promises are a big 'ol CR sinker so BEWARE.

⇓out of character⇓

BACKTAGGING: I will backtag until the heat death of the universe.

FOURTH WALLING: Feel free to talk about Rapunzel as a fairytale to him, he'll be EXTREMELY confused and probably grill your character about HOW THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PRINCESS ARE YOU A SPY?!! Tangled itself as a canon I'd rather avoid.

THREADHOPPING: Absolutely!

CONTENT I ABSOLUTELY NEED WARNINGS FOR, BUT CAN STILL PLAY: Just give me a heads-up if your character is gonna start talking about clowns so I can mentally prepare- so long as there aren't any images, I will be able to play it just fine.
CONTENT I ABSOLUTELY NEED WARNINGS FOR AND THAT I CAN'T PLAY: Images of clowns. ANY talk of cancer.

Somewhere in Kaisou's junkyard

Varian's been working steadily on his portal since he got to the city. Sure, there have been some...complications along the way, but they've only made him all the more certain that he needs to get out of here before more madness happens. Rapunzel and Cassandra showing up from the wrong point in time was definitely the last straw for him in that regard. He needed to resolve this, and quickly as possible.

So he's been working on his portal. He's had help, of course- had his friends (and Hunter) gather ingredients for him. He's been focusing largely on the building himself- he remembers how dangerous the last portal was, how he'd got half of Corona trapped in the Lost Realm. He'd rather not repeat that particular incident.

So when it comes to starting the damn thing up, he plans to be alone. He doesn't get to be alone, of course, because Fern caught him trying to sneak out to do it and that was that. So one hot morning, Varian circles his completed portal, hemming and hawing.

"Okay. I think it's ready."

Varian's workshop

Varian's Workshop
Stuff Varian Makes
Works in progress
An explosive sword for Fern.
A new arm for Vash!
A car! Needs serious fixing up!
Alchemical stuff
Things Varian may or may have at any given time given supply/time to make:
  • Sticky bomb - A sticky substance held in a glass ball, on impact, it traps whatever it hits in a sticky goo that can only be removed by his neutralising potion.
  • Flynnolium - A proto-fuel source of his own design for his machines. It also doubles as an explosive! If you blow up a shit-ton of it, it makes fireworks, weee~
  • Smoke bomb - What it says on the tin, the smoke is usually magenta for whatever reason.
  • Bubble bomb - It can encase an object or person in a bubble- which is weirdly strong and able to lift that object/person into the air.
  • Ice bomb - Creates a sheet of ice on the ground.
  • Flash bomb - Makes a bright, blinding flash of light.
  • Sleeping gas - Knocks a person unconscious - needs to be released at close range.
  • Completed projects
    Action figure - For Ken- it's some big hero of his or something.
    Transdimensional portal - It went bad, it went SO SO bad.
    Grow lights - Keeping plants and plant people alive without sunlight!
    Glow in the dark seashell necklace - For Moana's birthday!
    Missing pieces
    Mood Potion/ Truth Serum - Both need oil from the rare three-leafed echo plant- this only exists back home so will need a regain to create.

    Kaisou CR chart

    August
    Tired guru
    Ever since his comments on Pride, August has been a constant information source for Varian on queer issues. He helped Varian understand his bisexuality and helped him get together with Fern. He deals with all of Varian's weird questions valiantly and Varian's pretty sure he wouldn't be half as comfortable in his own skin without the man's input.
    Moxxie
    Oh He's A Little Bit Fucked Up Actually
    An ex-professor in the college. Apparently, he's a demon of some sort. Usually a pretty chill guy, he just sometimes disassociates and commits atrocities. A freakishly good shot who has saved Varian's butt more than once. Varian just wishes he calms down a little with all the murder. Moxxie got murdered by Zodiac and came back to life again which is weird, but Varian's glad the dude is still with them.
    Sorey
    The shrink is in
    Varian's therapist and PokeGO mentor. Sorey's help has been absolutely immeasurable in getting Varian to a better place mentally. He knows he still has a long way to go, but Sorey's patience and coping mechanisms have made it so Varian at least has the tools to start working on his self-loathing and grab bag of other mental health problems. Thanks to Sorey, Varian's starting to believe he IS allowed to have nice things and give himself a better life.
    Vash
    Is he like, okay?
    Guy from the crappiest crapsack world there is. Despite that, he's relentlessly optimistic and always a listening ear to provide some great advice. Reminds Varian a little of Rapunzel which is deeply comforting. Vash also let Varian shoot at him once because the guy dodges bullets with math which makes him super cool!

    So give 'em all to me
    And I'll give mine to you

    Julia Michaels - Issues
    I didn't know I was a phoenix
    Till I learned how to speak
    Even with ashes in my mouth
    I was still born to breathe
    I wonder are you like me
    Were you left in the fire

    Mary Lambert - Sum of Our Parts
    You can guard your heart forever
    Keep it safe and keep it sound
    But love won't feel so heavy
    If you spread that shit around
    What is it that you're afraid of?
    Being hurt? Let down? Destroyed?

    Anthony Rapp & Jason Tam - Best Worst Mistake
    I didn’t see this one coming
    Now I’m in too deep
    I think I’ll just keep swimming down
    There’s no point in turning round

    Tim Minchin - Drowned
    You don't have to be a prodigy to be unique
    You don't have to know what to say or what to think
    You don't have to be anybody you can never be
    That's alright, let it out, talk to me

    Cavetown - Talk To Me
    No blinding light
    Or tunnels, to gates of white
    Just our hands clasped so tight
    Waiting for the hint of a spark

    Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark
    We may fall but we'll keep on going
    We may break but we won't stay broken
    Through the cracks in the road
    The flowers grow

    Alice Kristiansen - Moon And Back
    What they don't know
    Is your real advantage
    When you live for someone
    You're prepared to die

    With, without
    We trust, we doubt
    To find, to lose
    We hurt, we bruise

    Richard Walters - The Rules For Lovers
    Let me be your ride out of town
    Let me be the place that you hide
    We can make our lives on go
    Run away with me

    Jeremy Jordan - Run Away With Me
    You have suffered enough
    And warred with yourself
    It's time that you won
    Take this sinking boat and point it home

    Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová - Falling Slowly
    I know my heads not right
    I think too much overnight
    But in you I see a light
    Let’s be more than strangers

    Chloe Adams & once Monsters - Messed Up
    Yeah we’re damaged
    Badly damaged
    But your love’s too good to lose
    Hold me tighter
    Even closer
    I’ll stay if I’m what you choose

    Barrett Wilbert Weed & Ryan McCartan - Seventeen
    They think I'm dangerous
    I might agree with that
    When everything I touch will break
    Loving you is my escape

    Beth Crowkey - I Scare Myself
    The storms are raging on the rolling sea
    And on the highway of regret
    The winds of change are blowing wild and free
    You ain't seen nothing like me yet

    Sleeping At Last - Make You Feel My Love
    I don't need more reminders of all that's been broken
    I don't need you to fix what I'd rather forget
    Clear the slate and start over
    Try to quiet the noises in your head
    We can't compete with all that

    Ben Platt & Laura Dreyfuss - Only Us
    I have crossed a natural plane and communed with the dead
    But people always seem to want some proof
    No one even would believe my luck of evil I got pictures of
    But I would throw them all out just for you

    But don't give me your pity
    Cause there's more to life than pretty things
    So I'll just give you me
    Yeah, I'll just give you me
    And I'm not even five foot three

    Flannel Graph - Five Foot Three
    When we grew up, our shadows grew up too
    But they're just some old ghosts that we grew attached to
    The tragic flaw is that they hide the truth
    That you're enough, you're enough, you're enough

    Sleeping At Last - You Are Enough
    And as the seasons roll on by
    Please remember the reasons why
    You and I are two of a kind
    Like a willow tree, intertwined

    Artist - Willow Tree
    While our love is green
    Forget the troubles we've seen
    Forget the people we've been
    Before all of the mistakes

    Passenger - If You Go
    No turning back now that you took the breadcrumbs
    I left as a guide
    Don't expect me to play fair
    Move and I'll move even deeper inside
    I like you right there

    Audrey Brisson & Chris Jared - Stay
    When you're high, I'll take the lows
    You can ebb and I can flow
    And we'll take it slow
    And grow as we go

    Artist - Grow As We Go
    When your tired of fightin'
    And it feels like you're broken
    I just want you to know that I believe in
    I believe in you

    JJ Heller - I Believe In You
    Days may not be fair
    Always
    That's when I'll be there
    Always

    Nick Lucas - Always
    I just wanna love you when the goings tough
    I just wanna hold you when your not enough
    I just wanna give you everything I got
    I do

    Kaisou apartment

    "So this is where Varian lives. It seems cosy. In an 'I wish I had said goodbye to my loved ones before I left' kind of way."


    Location: Zodiac Appartments
    Inhabitants: Varian & Fern
    Bedrooms: 3
    Bathrooms: 1
    General vibes: Like you should have got a tetanus shot before entering. Filled with lots of repurposed items which were found in the junkyard. Questionable science experiments have been performed on most items by Varian to at best understand them or at worst upgrade them. Microwave is possibly a health hazard now. The kitchen has some WEIRD chemicals in it. The bathroom has extra pipes, where do they go? What do they do? No one knows. The balcony is nice, though. It's haunted by a kusatchi, after Varian took apart Fern's Tamagotchi gacha. It beeps at people and follows them around.
    Varian's bedroom: Is only slept in when Varian legitimately passes out from exhaustion. Has half-finished inventions strewn around the floor. Bed never made.
    Fern's bedroom: Info here
    Spare room: Info here

    About
    They say there's a thin line between genius and insanity. Varian not only straddles that line, but he's set up a permanent base on it. Science, especially alchemy, is his lifeblood, and he's at his happiest when he's creating inventions or mixing new alchemical concoctions. It has made him something of the village weirdo, and before Rapunzel showed up on the scene, he clearly didn't have any friends. Though Varian likes people plenty, he tends to gloss over that maybe not everyone is as interested in science as he is. He tends to yammer on about whatever he's working on to his friends like an excited puppy, not picking up that they're not really all that interested in what he's talking about. Even when they outright tell him so. It makes him on the socially awkward side at best and dismissive of people's interests at worst. He's very eager to share what he knows and show people what he can do- there's a deeply ingrained need to please people there.

    It's this desire to please others that cultivates one of Varian's most glaring flaws. Varian desperately seeks validation from his loved ones- particularly his father, Quirin. He wants nothing more than for his father to be proud of him - a motivation that pushes him through the first season while also being one of the root causes for his descent into villainy. Quirin is their village leader- a tough, hardworking man with a dark past of his own- miles apart from his science-minded, curious son. There's definitely a gap between them, personality-wise, and Varian does his best to bridge it, wanting his father to see what he does and be impressed by it. The thing Varian wants most in the world is to be praised for his efforts, to be told he's doing good and helpful things- that he can make a difference in the only way he knows how. He creates an entirely new element to impress Cassandra, whom he carries a torch for, admitting that "if I could show you what I was capable of, you would see something in me, something special." He's treated as something of an oddity- with a mind beyond his time, so he tends to be ostracised, marked as 'a wizard' and 'dangerous' by the citizens of Old Corona. He's misunderstood by everyone who speaks to him, and this only makes him more determined to show what he can do and earn their praise and acceptance.

    The kid has a streak of righteousness in him. Varian cares, an awful lot, sometimes a little too much. He wants to make the world a better place with scientific progress- and later wants to use his knowledge to help people fight forces that might otherwise destroy them. He feels that he sees things others either don't see or choose to ignore. When the Black Rocks started taking over Old Corona, his was the loudest voice shouting to do something about them. He could see the threat they were to the village (and likely the world at large) and studied them to try and find out how to remove the threat. When his father not only refused to do anything about them but then later lied to the King about the fact they were a problem at all, Varian lashed out- arguing that their home was being destroyed and he seemed to be the only person who cared about it. Quirin, knowing the true nature of the rocks and trying to protect his son, forbade Varian from experimenting on them. This was something Varian utterly disregarded- believing his father was burying his head in the sand instead of trying to save their village. Later, Varian was the one Rapunzel entrusted with the Demanitus Scroll, knowing that he has the drive and passion to decipher what it means and would not rest until he understood how to use it to protect Corona. Once Varian has set his mind on something, very little will deter him. He's a stubborn little dude.

    Unfortunately, this righteousness and his desire for validation mean Varian often fails to understand the consequences of his actions before it's too late. He has tunnel vision when it comes to his experiments and creations. He sees what his end goal is and is willing to reach that no matter what. To him, the end always justifies the means, even when those aforementioned means dip into morally grey areas. This results in his inventions often backfiring on him or causing severe harm to those around him- simply because he failed to think through what might happen if he achieved what he was aiming for. He almost blows Old Corona sky high trying to create a hot water system for them (to make the villagers happy and his father impressed!!!) and his focus when things go wrong was that he "couldn't let it happen again" - trying to fix his mistake- rather than admitting he probably shouldn't have done it in the first place. He does, at least, try to resolve the problems he inadvertently causes. That said, most of those problems could have been averted if he'd thought about if he should do something before thinking if he could.

    Varian is a sassy little so-and-so, he has a sarcastic streak a mile wide and has no problem with unleashing it on people. Eager to please as he might be, he doesn't suffer fools gladly. He doesn't have a lot of patience - especially with people who might not be on his own wavelength. Lance especially tends to be the subject of his ire- delightful himbo that he is. This isn't ideal when he's usually the smartest person in the room. Ironically, for an alchemist, he has a short fuse. If he's been irritated or had any of his buttons pressed, he has explosive (hah) angry outbursts. While usually a relatively harmless trait- he cools off relatively quickly- this anger can (and did) turn into something much darker if it's allowed to fester in him.

    And eventually, that dark streak was allowed to fester. Rapunzel being unable to come to help him when he needed her most left a deep sense of betrayal in him. The loss of literally everyone he could rely on hit him hard and turned him against the very people he respected and cared about so much. Here, he showed his ability to be deceptive and cruel- pulling Rapunzel along with lies to get her to commit treason for him, and then letting loose with how much she let him down and how he only used her when she finally called him out on it.

    This only got worse after he turned completely on Rapunzel. He thought nothing about kidnapping the Queen- then using amber against her to force Rapunzel to help him. All that mattered was saving his father and then making Corona pay for failing them. When that failed, Varian finally snapped. All his anger and hurt exploded out of him, and he lashed out at his former friends. He only cared for revenge, and tried to kill both the Queen and Cassandra in front of the princess- he wanted Rapunzel to "endure the same amount of pain and agony I have". It was no longer about the greater good, or saving his father- it was about making his former friend suffer. That anger and hurt still boiled inside him as he was defeated and taken away. Varian had crossed a line and found himself capable of things he never realised he was capable of before.

    This was something that was used to the group's advantage once Varian rejoined the fold. Eugene entrusted him with finding a way to stop Cassandra permnenantly. Both knew this was an absolute last resort, but Varian is also one of the few people within the group who can cross that moral line and do what needs to be done if all other options fail. In the lead up to the final battle, installed a stun mechanism in Quirin's helmet- once Eugene pointed out he was likely a sleeper agent under Cassandra's mind control. It visibly broke Varian's heart to harm his father again- but he did what was needed for the greater good.

    Varian carries a lot of guilt over his past actions. His year in jail gave him the space he needed to actually think about what he did, and where he let his anger and hurt take him. After aligning himself with the Saporians, he decided the only way out of the dark place he'd got himself was to erase what he'd done completely. He desperately wanted to redeem himself for what he did- but he felt no one would give him a second chance, and wiping everyone's memories was the only guarantee he could have for a second chance. He was willing to die in a suicide mission to stop the Saporian plot from destroying Corona- begging Rapunzel to let him "clean up his mess". Even after he earned his redemption and became part of Rapunzel's inner circle again, he is haunted by his shame and guilt. This came to a head when they needed to deal with the Red Rocks- Varian admitting to Rapunzel that what he saw in them weren't visions of his worst fears (as they were for everyone else), but reminders of what actually happened- of what he did. He came clean about how he felt no one would ever really forgive him and how he felt that most of the kingdom hated him- adding that he didn't blame them for this at all- that he did terrible things and he deserved their ire. He tackled these fears, but they have not left him entirely. When he tried to reach out to Cass- to convince her that the path of revenge would not end well for her, he opened up plenty about just how much his villainous period still bothers him. He told her it would leave her with a "permanent mark" and in carrying on this way she would "lose her faith and lose her soul". His desperate plea to her made it clear he's still very much haunted by his past and he's not as content in himself as he's been making out to the others.

    Despite his past still haunting him, he still settled into his own Disney Certified Happily Ever After after the defeat of Zhan Tiri. He moved into the palace as Corona's Royal Engineer. He finally perfected his hot water boilers and Corona because the first Kingdom to have hot running water. He made a little more peace with himself and his place in the world (despite his mistakes) and was finally relatively happy. He still had plenty of healing to go- but he was on the path towards it at least.
    Appearance
    height 5'2
    build Skinny
    hair Black, teal streak
    eyes Blue
    first impressions Varian is noticeably very short. While his legs and arms are in that gangly mid-teen stage, there's no height to him at all. His body language is confident only when he's talking about science, otherwise, he tends to shift around a lot- hugging his arms around his body or rubbing the back of his neck. He doesn't like making eye contact and he shies away from being touched. He speaks with a stammer and often has long pauses between words. Outfit collection.

    features The blue streak in his hair is natural, no, this is never explained. He has an absolute shit-ton of freckles and prominent buck teeth. He pretty much constantly wears his thick alchemy gloves and always has his goggles on top of his head (except for when he's sleeping or if he actually decides to use them for their intended purpose). His style tends towards a weird steampunk-goth mashup. Learning Hot Topic existed was the best thing in his life. He has a werewolf form during a full moon or when he's in the Spirit Realm. He wears a engagement ring that he made himself.

    Powers
    Alchemy
    Varian has a genius-level intellect and can create mechanical objects beyond his time period, can create a wide range of non-magical potions, and can study and replicate potions and machinery he comes across. His general... enthusiasm and lack of caring for the consequences of his actions mean quite a few of his experiments backfire all on their own. Nothing he creates is magical technically, by his admission, it's all science-based which sure ACTS like magic. Basically, he's a living deus-ex-machina. In Kaisou, he is limited by what supplies he can gather, and can only create one potion a day.

    Invited by: ME!
    Other Characters: Bruno Madrigal

    Character Name: Varian
    Canon: Tangled
    Canon Point: S3E19 Plus est en vous - Post series epilogue
    History: Don't you worry, whatever it might take, I'm finding a way.

    Personality: TW: parental "death", PTSD and suicidal ideations.

    They say there's a thin line between genius and insanity. Varian not only straddles that line, but he's set up a permanent base on it. Science, especially alchemy, is his lifeblood, and he's at his happiest when he's creating inventions or mixing new alchemical concoctions. It has made him something of the village weirdo, and before Rapunzel showed up on the scene, he clearly didn't have any friends. Though Varian likes people plenty, he tends to gloss over that maybe not everyone is as interested in science as he is. He tends to yammer on about whatever he's working on to his friends like an excited puppy, not picking up that they're not really all that interested in what he's talking about. Even when they outright tell him so. It makes him on the socially awkward side at best and dismissive of people's interests at worst. He's very eager to share what he knows and show people what he can do- there's a deeply ingrained need to please people there.

    It's this desire to please others that cultivates one of Varian's most glaring flaws. Varian desperately seeks validation from his loved ones- particularly his father, Quirin. He wants nothing more than for his father to be proud of him - a motivation that pushes him through the first season while also being one of the root causes for his descent into villainy. Quirin is their village leader- a tough, hardworking man with a dark past of his own- miles apart from his science-minded, curious son. There's definitely a gap between them, personality-wise, and Varian does his best to bridge it, wanting his father to see what he does and be impressed by it. The thing Varian wants most in the world is to be praised for his efforts, to be told he's doing good and helpful things- that he can make a difference in the only way he knows how. He creates an entirely new element to impress Cassandra, whom he carries a torch for, admitting that "if I could show you what I was capable of, you would see something in me, something special." He's treated as something of an oddity- with a mind beyond his time, so he tends to be ostracised, marked as 'a wizard' and 'dangerous' by the citizens of Old Corona. He's misunderstood by everyone who speaks to him, and this only makes him more determined to show what he can do and earn their praise and acceptance.

    The kid has a streak of righteousness in him. Varian cares, an awful lot, sometimes a little too much. He wants to make the world a better place with scientific progress- and later wants to use his knowledge to help people fight forces that might otherwise destroy them. He feels that he sees things others either don't see or choose to ignore. When the Black Rocks started taking over Old Corona, his was the loudest voice shouting to do something about them. He could see the threat they were to the village (and likely the world at large) and studied them to try and find out how to remove the threat. When his father not only refused to do anything about them but then later lied to the King about the fact they were a problem at all, Varian lashed out- arguing that their home was being destroyed and he seemed to be the only person who cared about it. Quirin, knowing the true nature of the rocks and trying to protect his son, forbade Varian from experimenting on them. This was something Varian utterly disregarded- believing his father was burying his head in the sand instead of trying to save their village. Later, Varian was the one Rapunzel entrusted with the Demanitus Scroll, knowing that he has the drive and passion to decipher what it means and would not rest until he understood how to use it to protect Corona. Once Varian has set his mind on something, very little will deter him. He's a stubborn little dude.

    Unfortunately, this righteousness and his desire for validation mean Varian often fails to understand the consequences of his actions before it's too late. He has tunnel vision when it comes to his experiments and creations. He sees what his end goal is and is willing to reach that no matter what. To him, the end always justifies the means, even when those aforementioned means dip into morally grey areas. This results in his inventions often backfiring on him or causing severe harm to those around him- simply because he failed to think through what might happen if he achieved what he was aiming for. He almost blows Old Corona sky high trying to create a hot water system for them (to make the villagers happy and his father impressed!!!) and his focus when things go wrong was that he "couldn't let it happen again" - trying to fix his mistake- rather than admitting he probably shouldn't have done it in the first place. He does, at least, try to resolve the problems he inadvertently causes. That said, most of those problems could have been averted if he'd thought about if he should do something before thinking if he could.

    Varian is a sassy little so-and-so, he has a sarcastic streak a mile wide and has no problem with unleashing it on people. Eager to please as he might be, he doesn't suffer fools gladly. He doesn't have a lot of patience - especially with people who might not be on his own wavelength. Lance especially tends to be the subject of his ire- delightful himbo that he is. This isn't ideal when he's usually the smartest person in the room. Ironically, for an alchemist, he has a short fuse. If he's been irritated or had any of his buttons pressed, he has explosive (hah) angry outbursts. While usually a relatively harmless trait- he cools off relatively quickly- this anger can (and did) turn into something much darker if it's allowed to fester in him.

    And eventually, that dark streak was allowed to fester. Rapunzel being unable to come to help him when he needed her most left a deep sense of betrayal in him. The loss of literally everyone he could rely on hit him hard and turned him against the very people he respected and cared about so much. Here, he showed his ability to be deceptive and cruel- pulling Rapunzel along with lies to get her to commit treason for him, and then letting loose with how much she let him down and how he only used her when she finally called him out on it.

    This only got worse after he turned completely on Rapunzel. He thought nothing about kidnapping the Queen- then using amber against her to force Rapunzel to help him. All that mattered was saving his father and then making Corona pay for failing them. When that failed, Varian finally snapped. All his anger and hurt exploded out of him, and he lashed out at his former friends. He only cared for revenge, and tried to kill both the Queen and Cassandra in front of the princess- he wanted Rapunzel to "endure the same amount of pain and agony I have". It was no longer about the greater good, or saving his father- it was about making his former friend suffer. That anger and hurt still boiled inside him as he was defeated and taken away. Varian had crossed a line and found himself capable of things he never realised he was capable of before.

    This was something that was used to the group's advantage once Varian rejoined the fold. Eugene entrusted him with finding a way to stop Cassandra permnenantly. Both knew this was an absolute last resort, but Varian is also one of the few people within the group who can cross that moral line and do what needs to be done if all other options fail. In the lead up to the final battle, installed a stun mechanism in Quirin's helmet- once Eugene pointed out he was likely a sleeper agent under Cassandra's mind control. It visibly broke Varian's heart to harm his father again- but he did what was needed for the greater good.

    Varian carries a lot of guilt over his past actions. His year in jail gave him the space he needed to actually think about what he did, and where he let his anger and hurt take him. After aligning himself with the Saporians, he decided the only way out of the dark place he'd got himself was to erase what he'd done completely. He desperately wanted to redeem himself for what he did- but he felt no one would give him a second chance, and wiping everyone's memories was the only guarantee he could have for a second chance. He was willing to die in a suicide mission to stop the Saporian plot from destroying Corona- begging Rapunzel to let him "clean up his mess". Even after he earned his redemption and became part of Rapunzel's inner circle again, he is haunted by his shame and guilt. This came to a head when they needed to deal with the Red Rocks- Varian admitting to Rapunzel that what he saw in them weren't visions of his worst fears (as they were for everyone else), but reminders of what actually happened- of what he did. He came clean about how he felt no one would ever really forgive him and how he felt that most of the kingdom hated him- adding that he didn't blame them for this at all- that he did terrible things and he deserved their ire. He tackled these fears, but they have not left him entirely. When he tried to reach out to Cass- to convince her that the path of revenge would not end well for her, he opened up plenty about just how much his villainous period still bothers him. He told her it would leave her with a "permanent mark" and in carrying on this way she would "lose her faith and lose her soul". His desperate plea to her made it clear he's still very much haunted by his past and he's not as content in himself as he's been making out to the others.

    Despite his past still haunting him, he still settled into his own Disney Certified Happily Ever After after the defeat of Zhan Tiri. He moved into the palace as Corona's Royal Engineer. He finally perfected his hot water boilers and Corona because the first Kingdom to have hot running water. He made a little more peace with himself and his place in the world (despite his mistakes) and was finally relatively happy. He still had plenty of healing to go- but he was on the path towards it at least.


    Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediately!
    Items:
  • His steampunk season 3 outfit.
  • Ruddiger - His pet raccoon. Like all animals in the Tangled universe, Ruddiger shows a little more sentience than a regular bog-standard animal, being able to understand what is said to him and being able to complete more complex tasks such as making hot cocoa or plotting a way to rescue his idiot human from a magical trap. Tangled animals are weird y'all. Under the influence of Varian's mutating serum, he can be turned into a giant raccoon monster thing. It's temporary, but I'm gonna nerf this from the start and make it a major regain down the line.
  • His backpack, this currently contains:
    - A few empty test tubes.
    - Two of his notebooks.
    - Quill, ink and parchment and a piece of charcoal. Note-taking 1800's style.
    - 6 empty glass balls - these are what Varian fills his solutions with to make bombs out of. They smash on impact so they're a one-use-only weapon.

    Retained Ability: I'M GONNA LIST THEM HERE, but I've already spoken to Yuff about this (hi Yuff). He'll be limited to making only 1 potion a day as per potion rules and his more complex potions will have to be done with regains for ingredients and the like. He'll also struggle to get basic chemical supplies because he's a 16-year-old child in a now-modern American city and people aren't just gonna sell him acid. Rude.

    Varian is a baseline human with no actual magical/powered abilities but he's by absolutely no means helpless. Varian has a genius-level intellect and can create mechanical objects beyond his time period, can create a wide range of non-magical potions, and can study and replicate potions and machinery he comes across. His general... enthusiasm and lack of caring for the consequences of his actions mean quite a few of his experiments backfire all on their own. Nothing he creates is magical technically, by his admission, it's all science-based which sure ACTS like magic. Basically, he's a living deus-ex-machina and I'm gonna do everything I can to roadblock him into not being that.

    Here is some of what Varian can definitely create already:

  • Stick bombs - A sticky substance held in a glass ball, on impact they trap whatever they hit in a sticky goo that can only be removed by his neutralising potion.
  • Truth serum - A potion that compels whoever ingests it to tell the truth. This is a modified version of the mood potion - which changes a person's primary traits to their opposites when ingested. Varian replicated this, so presumably, he can make that, too. It requires a specific type of plant that only grows in Corona, so he'd need to get a regain if he were to make any more of this.
  • Flynnolium - A proto-fuel source of his own design for his machines. It also doubles as an explosive! If you blow up a shit-ton of it, it makes fireworks, weee~
  • Smoke bombs - What they say on the tin, the smoke is usually magenta for whatever reason.
  • Bubble bombs - They can encase an object or person in a bubble- which is weirdly strong and able to lift that object/person into the air.
  • Ice bombs - Creates a sheet of ice on the ground.
  • Flash bombs - Makes a bright, blinding flash of light.
  • Sleeping gas - Knocks a person unconscious - seems he needs to get close to someone for it to work.
  • Glowsticks - LET THE 19TH CENTURY CHILD GO TO A RAVE
  • Cassandrium - He made his own element I guess. It's legit just a pretty purple rock. That's how you get girls to like you, right?
  • Amber solution - Utterly useless in Kaisou. This is a solution that reacts to the Black Rocks, creating a wave of amber that traps anything and anyone in its path. It's nigh-indestructible,
  • Hot balloon/air ship - He learned how to make this from the Saporians - he can now construct one in about an hour or so, somehow.
  • Automatons - Big robots powered by Flynnolium. They have a little music box on the back which acts as their 'programming'.
  • Mutating serum???? - Whatever the hell he uses to turn Ruddiger into a giant monster thing.
  • Quirinium - A synthetic gas he was working on to erase everyone's memories. It never worked but this was also a VERY POWERFUL explosive. For larger-scale destruction than Flynnolium. If he deigned to make it again, it could level a city. He'll COMPLETELY avoid making it due to all the fun trauma attached to it.
  • An automated warning system - it shoots fireworks in the air basically.
  • An amber-firing bazooka (child, please)
  • A stun device that can be hidden in a helmet.
  • A trans-dimensional portal- he literally built a Stargate.
  • droptheious: (Cause it's gonna be the future soon)

    Secret, secret secret, secret bunker


    INFORMATION

    Blessed Day:
    28 November

    Patron Pthumerian:
    The Tower

    Blessed Item:
    ball bearing compass

    DESCRIPTION

    Varian's secret room is like a space lost in time. It harkens back to his living spaces back in Corona, with stone walls and wooden alcoves. There's a good solid fire to keep the place warm and a nice comfy bed covered with furs to provide a decent night's sleep. The space had chests filled with blankets and weapons to help in a pinch. A small alcove stores food and drink (and beer) for filling your boots when you need it most. There's a bookcase filled with books and alchemy equipment that give the whole place an...interesting smell. A cosy, if somewhat rustic place- perfect if you're looking for a place to spend some time away from the horrors outside, or just do some good old fashioned LARPing. A sign hangs over the fireplace.
    DETAILS & CONDITIONS"While this tool can be used for the traditional purposes of drawing perfect circles on paper, one will find its strength is best used on non-traditional surfaces such as walls, floors, or the earth itself. Draw a circle and you will create a unique "rabbit hole" that opens up into a small, completely impervious room stocked with useful supplies like food, medicine, warm blankets, and possibly even a bed and a warm fire. This room will only last 24 hours but it can be a reprieve from a deadly world and not a bad tool to have with you when you're camping in harsh conditions. The hole can only be entered by those the artist wants to enter. It's a perfect hideaway for those seeking refuge. Anyone can use this tool. Once it has been used, it must recharge for 24 hours before it can be used again. The room it creates should never be bigger than a bedroom and will never contain magical items. Monsters cannot access this room regardless of event circumstances. It can be lost. It will appear on any desk-like surface of the Sleeper with a red ribbon tied around it." ( x ) © tessisamess
