backstory + current story
story summary :
backstory
long hair character and short hair character are the same person , just different realities / world . long haired character had basically the revolutionary idea to make the city powered by the district they live in , district 11 . but due to the position , they couldn t reach district 19 ( idk if it s 19 , i m having trouble counting the lines even tho i made the number system A - ) so they decided to expand the power generator to the neighboring district 12 .
which worked yippie . and eventually the whole system became fully self sufficient , so long hair character has to basically disappear as the last step to finalize the plan . so they just went to the connected reality and pretended to be their other versions mirror image .
basically retirement .
current story
long hair character wants to see how the district looks in the connected reality , so they lowkey manipulated / subconsciously motivated short hair character to travel there .
tho short hair character is a little stupid and starts a revolution because they think the people there ( who are actually just robots ) should be free . undenounced to them , the robots then started causing chaos because the overall city has a rather high crime rate outside of district 11 and 12 .
and now there is chaos and destruction .

-----------------------------------------------------------
old versions ( some parts are the same )
a new story combined out of aspects from old stories i had made over time .
( i ll write it actually out once i know more myself . i might be just as lost as the viewer here )
there are 2 timelines , they are almost the same . one version of a character A ' sacrificed ' their ( A1 ) existence for the sake of mirrored success ( that district 11 will become a powerhouse of energy and paper production ) . but their other timelines version ( A2 ) is . . . let s just say fucking stupid and decides to play hero . but since both versions are basically the same person : A_2 has the same ability to give commands . and what happens ? c h a o s because A_2 thought it was a good idea to tell the efficient system to " be free and do what you want , noone should hold you back " and well : the robots that were working for the system then absorbed the variations of the average human motivations and they all started to cause chaos and destruction because i have a project moon brainrot and everyone apparently is a menace to life itself
story ' starts ' somewhere in the middle : character " A " wants to start a revolution against society . undenounced to them : everyone who is ' trapped ' is actually literally just a cog in the machine
the person " B " , trapped in the mirror has to stay hidden even tho A is pretty much ruining their plan now too . B is very much not happy about this shit as they were literally the one who made the whole system but had to go undercover in order to make it actually work
there are actual people scattered around the district ( district 11 ) , but they are really just minding their own business maybe occasionally committing crimes and going to jail the next second because they re literally stupid there are cameras everywhere what the hell
' big brother ' - y vibe but noone cares since it s actually optimized . . . well apparently A had to be oh so special and try to throw over one of the most productive and safest places in the whole city( A isn t from the district , they basically just accidentally got through the gates because they are actually pretty believable . . . also B kinda indirectly made it possible for them to even get there , B wanted to see how their system / plan had gone after some time and indirectly motivated A visit the place . . . sadly B didn t think about how A could actually just deadass ruin everything B had worked for )
the district collapses and everything turns against everything : a greyscale hell scape , chaos and destruction . never to be returned to the initial state of ' acceptable imperfect perfection '
( obvious project moon inspo : with the district and city system rather than countries )
district 11 lore : district that produces the majority of power for the city as they had found out a way to infinitely produce energy . its a careful process and needs a lot of personnel . they also produce most of the cities paper which is recyclable and returns back to district 11 if discarded in the correct places . the paper is a byproduct of the infinite electricity ( how ? idk lol it sounds cool tho )
B also lowkey forgot that their physical body cant just keep itself up without any drawbacks : so if they ever decide to switch from a ' pure form of mind ' back to physically existing -> their mind would get heavily damaged in a matter of seconds ( unhinged characters my beloved )

not direct inspo , more something like passive motivation / song i listened to while thinking about the story ( and daydream music video scenes yippiee )
limbus company : Meursault - character art background ( image )
location inspo
my recent limbus company brainrot
an old story where one character ( 1 ) ' infiltrates ' a reality but is stuck in the mirror world and start manipulating the character ( 2 ) who s mirror image they ( 1 ) accidentally had become
an even older story where a character ( 1 ) finds character ( 2 ) sealed in a box who ( 2 ) then possesses the character ( 1 )

another " i m listening to this long while thinking " , dunno the lyrics cause i cant speak japanese and i don t trust machine translators when it comes to specificities *dies* ( i like the vibe tho . so yea . this song s vibe / melody / rhythm / musical characteristics should fit character " B " before their unhinged arc )
