Ceasg Scott, does Sausage ever find out? What about the myths that state a captured ceasg must grant 3 wishes?

First of sorry for taking a billion years to answer, I got busy-

And for your ask:

Does Sausage ever find out?

I can see *eventually* Sausage finding out, but it's no where in the near future.

Sausage may or may not have seen Scott in his ceasg form, but he doesn't have the connection of "Oh that seamonster was Scott." He's seen Scott. He's seen a ceasg. He does not know that it was Scott. More on that later :>

As it stands, of the pirate cast, Acho knows (duh), Martyn knows (whoops), & Cleo (and Kyle somewhat) has a Suspicion somethings off witn Scott but nothing concrete. Scott's an odd fella as it is so who knows.

What about the 3 wishes myth?

There are differences between what would be Our-World Myths vs In-Universe Mechanics.

Such as, I see ceasg Scott as having *some* abilities but not endless wish-granting ones.

I do see more of sort of "Partial soul bound until the wishes are fulfilled" sort of thing. Contractual if you will. Where Scott more-or-less has to do 3 Things of whatever Thr Person says or wants (favors, so to speak).

So Yes on wishes, but Scott doesn't have any endless power to do whatever.

Tl;Dr: Sausage does not know & Scott is obligated to basically do three favors for anyone that finds out.

Hello hello!! Absolutely pumped for the Myth’s Voyage AU :DD!!

What made you pick certain characters for certain roles? I’m particularly interested by Owen as Antinous 👀👀

Bare with me this is gonna be a doozy

I'll be honest. It all started with me being real emotionally attached to p!Will & me falling down a rabbit hole of associating the song "Open Arms" with him because- even if I'm not fully read on p!Will's story & character- the way I've come to view him is a relatively forgiving and optimistic type of person. So him as Polities came natually.

I also have a frequent habit of doing a thing where when I associate one character to one song/character of a musical, I start to try and figure if there's way to fit in other characters.

I believe what came next was Sausage and if I recall correctly, that was due to 1. Me just liking Sausage all together and 2. Me seeing him as the most "Captian-Like" guy in pirates. Also revolving around headcanons, others' interpretations, and maybe an artist or two's ways of drawing him. After that, Joel & Hermes as Penelope and Telemachus came pretty easy. I've also played around with previous ideas of "What if Joel was in Pirates SMP" and added in my constant Empires Brainrot ™️, that all just fell into place.

I believe Lizzie was my first established God cos. Giant fish/ocean associated person, yk. And then Jimmy as Polyphemus due to fishy relations and then I think Fwhip was actually my next one due to the "silly & unhinged" vibes I got from Epic Hermes. Then with a lot more stubborn brain storming, more and more gods fell into place as I started following an Empires Season 1 pattern with the Gods

Krow was also a fun one to workshop in cos I also don't know much about his Canon character but what I do know & just the fascination I've gotten with him, I thought he fit the role of Eurylochus pretty well. Mostly on the side of more of a survivor when it comes down to a "You vs Me" mentality & leaning more on aggressive tactics when it comes to handling certain situations. He is one of the ones I'm certain doesn't fall into complete Canon-type of personality, but I like how my au's Krow is a lot.

Now. The fun situation with the suitors and Ithica in general.

I can explain a bit further if anyone's interested, but the way my storyline worked out is that there's actually no Herons that are part of Sausage's crew in the story. They're either still on the Faction Isles or traveling elsewhere. Having said that, when I came around to figuring out Antinous, it was right when I was finding out very bare-bones about him. And given that the Heron characters will ideally be characters shown on "Ithica" I was working to see if anyone would fit that roll.

Having said that, Antinous was noted down in my "Working-Out" list with the note of "Mr. Steal your wife and kill your son" and while discussing my character plans with my partner, we started to joke about Antinous being Owen. Given her more player-esque personality, at the time I figured it'd be a decent fit- or at least a place holder- for a character who I started to think was just someone wanting to court "Penelope".

However, thinking more on it & finding out better how Antinous plays in this story, I started getting more invested in the idea of Owen still being him. The idea of Owen becoming a villain, manipulative with his charm and almost vindictive in her motives just started to appeal more and more to me.

When this takes place, it's 20 years since the rough-end of Pirates SMP, following Epic the Musical's timeline. A lot can change in a person in 20 years. Seeing the Factions fall, loves in your life die or disappear, people coming into power that you feel either don't deserve it or are strangers who don't understand all that's happened here or you feel are too weak irresponsible to handle it. It can grate on a person, certainly.

P!Owen is, once again, another character I'm unfortunately not fully familiar with, though that may change if i have a chance to watch his pov in the future. And who knows, maybe I'll workshop the story, change e!Owen's personality or motives, maybe even choose someone else entirely to fit the role.

But as it stands, the idea of e!Owen, 20 years in the future with heavens knows how much baggage and pent up anger and frustrations left on his shoulders starting to get desperate or almost hungry even for some sort of control or power or just even a sense of stability in her life just seems to be a very interesting & fun-to-work-with storyline to me.

Thinking about seeing Owen getting aggressive and animalistic and breaking that carefully-crafted facade of charm and control when it comes to fighting and trying to kill someone just. It's so interesting and fascinating in my mind, you've no idea.

And, again, I'm awfully weak to villain Owen nonesense so that certainly doesn't help.

There you have it. My essay & a half summary over some of my reasonings.

Again, things are always subject to change and sometimes I get a little Silly with my trains of thoughts but, hey, it'll be fun either way. If you're interested in me trying to explain my through process for more characters, feel free to ask, I just figured I'd keep this as short as i can physically manage. If it comes off as a bit rambling or you want me to clear anything up, you're always welcome to ask. It's technically super late for me so my writing compression might be a bit off.

Tl;Dr, I zone out to music and play "Song Association Games" too much & Owen as Antinous started off as a silly joke but now it's eating my brain whole so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A Myth's Voyage:

Character Introduction I

[Click for Quality]

Here we begin the final pennings of the mv cast, starting off with the power trio (don't worry about them later down the line they're fiiiine)

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

•~[Captain and honorary King Sausage Mythos leads the fleet of 600 throughout the War of the Isles. He's a carefree if not occasionally passive-aggressive man who uses a friendly demeanor to let the guard down of those around him but is not one to shy away from using more aggressive means to get his way. Over the 10 years of battle with his fleet, he's grown close with and cherishes those of his fleet and especially those of his own ship. After finally putting an end to the War, there's nothing that Sausage wants more than to get home to his long awaited family and the safe comfort of his own island.]

•~[Second in command of Mythos' ship, Kuervo Fang comes off as cold and stubborn to most of the crew, even if a good few can see right through him. He's got a skewed sense of justice and loyalty that even fewer can interpret & he proves himself to be one of the deadliest fighters the crew has to offer. Over the 10 years, Kuervo has reluctantly become close with his crew & finds it unfortunate how they fall into a protective, soft spot for him. Not that he'd admit it. Supposedly, not even on his life.] 🐦‍⬛

•~[Will Renais serves as a determined and caring member of the fleet. Though perhaps too forgiving for his own good, Will takes pride in being a person many put their trust into. He sees beauty in life and warmth in safe understandings and does what they can to help keep the peace when able. They're perhaps Sausage's closest companion on the fleet & Kuervo's most trusted person. Will mediates between the two to keep them off of each others' throats & has become an expert at keeping their communications steady. Over the 10 years of being apart of the fleet, Will has threaded himself deeply throughout the crewmates & is highly regarded among them.]🗺
