Characters you have in the game: N/A
Character Name: Augustus.
Character Canon: Bittersweet Candy Bowl
Canon Background: Not much has been discovered or unveiled about Augustus's past in the comics thus far. We know a few things about his past but they are more far and in between factoids than a clear narrative. His real involvement and reveal starts sometime later in the story and the lives of our main characters. What we do know about Augustus's early life is he grew up in the wrong neighbor hood with a family that was far from healthy and whole. His mother and father are drunks and possibly abusive toward him due to statements he makes about only being safe at school. Sometime either in middle school or early in high school, Augustus joined Alejandro's gang of cats and dogs. He seems to be Alejandro's informant and spy for different operations. Sometime during his youth he got close to one of Alejandro's girlfriends who cut his face and left a scar over his left eye and later did the same to Alejandro himself. Her fate so far is unknown.
It is the main characters Freshmen year in High School and Augustus's Junior year that the feline's mission began. His goal was to observe Lucy and Mike's group of friends to find weak points within the group for a revenge plot of Alejandro's for a run-in they had with the gang leader in middle school. Augustus did this but during his observations he fell in love with one of the members of the group, Daisy.
He approached Daisy and began to drop cryptic hints of her being held back by her friends and would confess to wanting to be her friend. The rest of the group disliked Augustus due to quips he would make about another Junior they had befriended, Tess. Daisy, no heeding the warnings of her friends, began spending time with Augustus. The two grew close and Augustus tried to get her to admit she liked him, however she couldn't due to feelings she had for Mike.
Augustus began to push Daisy to try and steal Mike away from his long-distance girlfriend and after so long and Daisy's own lack of confidence getting to her, she agreed. He helped her to become more forward. Thanks to a set of circumstances with Mike, he asked her to go to the fair with him as friends. They went together and Augustus followed. He watched Daisy throw herself at Mike and be shot down, just as he planned. He went to her and confessed it was his plan and he knew Mike would never love her 'true' self. He told her she wanted this kind of attention as he backed her to a wall and tried to kiss her.
Daisy was about to give in when Abbey, another cat who liked Daisy, stopped him. Augustus taunted and poked at Abbey about his father, who Augustus had discovered was abusive and went to jail for almost killing Abbey's mother in a rage. Abbey hit Augustus and Augustus taunted him about being just like his daddy. This broke Abbey down and Augustus laughed as he drank it in. During his talking, he had said 'green eyes' when referring to Mike, something Alejandro had done during their confrontation in middle school. Daisy recognized this and slapped Augustus for mocking Abbey. She then told him it was over and that she understood. Augustus tried to convince her she was mistaken but he told him to leave, and he did.
It was a little later that Augustus went to meet up with a dog and Alejandro. He reported he had failed to get Daisy to like him, which was his attempt to save her from the coming plan. Having done so, Alejandro told him to get over it and to just use her as the tool and opportunity she would be. Augustus gave up on Daisy that day and moved forward.
It was several months later when he made his next move. During that time, Mike and Lucy had a falling out, which left Lucy emotionally vulnerable. Augustus approached her on her birthday but Lucy wasn't having it. She told him to fuck off and though Augustus pretended to be angry he smirked once she was gone and was happy that he finally had a challenge. It wasn't long after that Lucy began to hang out with Augustus and confide in him when she couldn't find herself able to with her friends.
One day Lucy did try to hang out with Augustus after school, though it didn't go well. He found her at his locker after getting out of class and his day was already not going well. She tried to force her way onto the bus to go home with him but thanks to another rude kid bumping her and Augustus having none of it, he told the bus driver she was trying to get on the wrong bus. Doing so, however, wasn't something easy to Augustus to do. He didn't want Lucy seeing the kind of family or conditions he lived in, so he pushed her away, even though she might had been the first one ever to want to go to his home after school. Just like a real friend would.
It was in December that Augustus was at the library when Lucy and Mike came in to do a project for a class. He told them to wipe their feet, which upset Mike due to Lucy spending time with Augustus. Augustus approached Lucy when Mike left to grab books and mocked her about being tied to him. They spoke and Lucy asked him how he dealt with being rejected by Daisy and her wanting nothing to do with him. She expressed that she was ready to just give up on life because of Mike's treatment of her. Augustus grew angry at that and asked her if she had friends, a family, and a good home in a good neighborhood. He told her that if she was willing to give it all up over a boy that she was useless and pathetic. Feeling sympathetic, however, he then told her that as long as Daisy was happy and that she was smiling, he could live. He left with a snarky comment toward Mike when the boy returned and clearly was not pleased with Augustus being there.
It was then on New Years when Augustus found Lucy on top of the school building. He thought she was going to jump and rushed up to stop her. She said she wasn't going to jump and laughed, which Augustus didn't appreciate and told her to get down. Lucy asked him why everyone said they knew what was better for her than she did. Hearing this, and clearly being shocked by it, he surrendered and told her he would wait for her outside the school. And wait he did. It was a few days into the new school year after the incident when Lucy left Roseville High school. Though none of her friends know exactly what happened, it was hinted Augustus might and thus gives further evidence that Lucy possibly tried to kill herself but it has not been confirmed.
It bothered him, however she left, in the way she left and was last seen looking at the sky from atop the school like Lucy was in January. What he is doing now in the series is unknown.
Omegafriends Background: Augustus's AU Background starts much like his canon background. He came from a broken home, drunk parents who were not the greatest. It was just before starting middle school, when he was still young, that a wormhole ripped open and dragged the young cat boy into the Earth of Omegafriends. He landed in New York City and was quickly adopted by a gang in the city. He was raised as the sort of mascot of the group and quickly learned the ins and outs of crime. He became the information gatherer and tactician for the gang over the years. Augustus spent years with the gang, until he turned 18 and things went sour.
He fell in love with a girl who happened to be dating the leader of their gang at the time. He expressed his interest and she strung him along until he attempted to kiss her. Appalled that the animal boy would do this, she cut his face, leaving the scar above his left eye. The leader found out and planned to get rid of Augustus, however the young catboy discovered the plans first and decided to deal with them first. His bonds broken with the hero he looked up to and the woman he loved, he formulated a plan. He gathered the gang's assets and one night, gave several anonymous calls to the police. He sold out the gang and with the police raiding all of their safe houses and their own homes, the gang was dismantled in one night.
That was when Augustus took the money and contacts and left to Venture City. He decided then he would never work for someone like that again. He would call the shots in his life and become something greater. What his exact plans are are unknown but they are going to be big. He has been living in Venture City for a few months now and opened his own Private Investigation office to bring in business and as a way to gather information for himself. He has been sucessful in his venture thus far, working for anyone who will pay and using the cases he is given to gather as much information on those in the city (heroes, villains, and important city officials) as possible. What he desires is unknown but you can bet he isn't thinking small.
Personality: Augustus isn't truly evil. The young man is definitely more of a moral gray. Due to his family past and the past with the gang, he has grown into a cynical person with a darker past. Yet he is not completely dark, as mentioned. He has good in him as he does take cases to help people even now. He sees himself as separate from humans as he knows he is from another world and thus give himself a sort of immunity from the usual morality of a usual human. This differs some from his canon personality but not by much. He is rough outside but not completely dark to the core.
During his time on Earth, Augustus has developed more into a mastermind than his canon self. Where he is the lackey tactician in his world, in this AU, he is the mastermind. He grew up without being pressed under Alejandro as well as nurtured by him to know his place. Augustus rebelled and won against the person he once was stuck under and raised up in his own self-image. Now he does see himself as someone important and able to get what he wants. He comes up with massive plans in order to gain the information he wants as he sees it as the best way to gain power. Super villains might have powers but power is nothing compared to the right information. Such as, the knowledge of who a villain is. The same goes for heroes in his mind. They are all one bit of information away from being stripped of all power.
Augustus is a cynical person when it comes to people. Specifically humans. Though the cats, dogs, and other people in his world were not good in his mind, humans he sees as possibly worse due to his experiences. He understands there are good and bad people but in his mind, they are mostly driven by their bad tendencies. He doesn't go so far as to hate them but he does not trust them anymore. After his heart was broken and his trust betrayed, he decided to never trust humans to that extent again. He makes sure to keep people at arms length to protect himself as much as possible. To him, they are going to be as likely to hurt him as he is to hurt them. Of course, he justifies his own hurting of people as they would do the same to him in the same situation.
As stated before, the Siamese has some darker parts to his personality. He enjoys seeing people in emotional stress and turmoil. To him, it is far better than physical pain. He can enjoy that too but to him, there is nothing more fun to watch than someone squirming with a few words and pushes of mental and emotional buttons. He has trained himself well to find these points in people and use them to his advantage. He feels the emotions and mind are a person's almost guaranteed weak point in the armor of themselves. If one can find the right crack, they can break someone. He would rather know the exact point to hurt someone and be ready to use it when it is most convenient or entertaining.
Augustus isn't all about poking buttons, however. He is calculating and patient. He knows rushing won't get him anywhere in life. This is also seen in his canon counterpart though this Augustus takes it to a new level. He will do what he can to watch people, especially heroes and villain. He will go to lengths of setting up crimes to simply sit somewhere nearby and watch. Instead of sitting back and watching people as they naturally are, Augustus will try to set them up or push people into difficult situations to observe how they react and learn more about them. It is his second greatest hobby.
His first is something original to this AU Augustus. The Siamese enjoys collecting old school toys. He has a fascination with toys from the 50s-the 80s in Earth history. This mostly stems from his own lack of a childhood he can call his own. He collects these toys with the money he earns and even accepts them as payment for jobs if someone offers them. He has quite the collection in his office and one can say they are his prized possessions. He started collecting them back in New York and as a child learned to use them as impromptu weapons and even more has incorporated them into how he fights, which will be covered in his powers section. He loses himself to them and it shows part of the vulnerable side he still possesses.
As stated before, Augustus isn't all bad. He goes have a good side deep down. He will care and help for the unfortunate even without asking for something in return. He does this as he himself was one of them once. However he doesn't simply help anyone. Augustus hates helplessness and those who do not attempt to escape it as he did. He only helps those he sees as worthy, people fighting to try and better themselves without success, possibly due to external obstacles or forces at work. He will give money, support, information, and other resources to people like this without asking for anything in return. It is one of the few redeeming qualities he has.
Overall, Augustus is layered. He has a rough shell and most of him is dark inside. He does have good in him however. He falls into a much more gray area than black or white. Because of this, he can navigate between working with heroes and villains alike. He enjoys being able to work both sides and thus gaining the benefits of knowing both sides. He hopes to use this to his advantage one day, as he does with almost everything else he does. In truth, he is selfish. In the end he is seeking to obtain something from the city. What that is, however, is a mystery.
Powers: Augustus is a non-powered individual, however his experience on Earth has taught him how to fight and make him a skilled tactician. He can make plans with little time and is capable of making large and elaborate plans, complete with backups. His watching people allows him to predict what they will do or how they may react and thus plan around their possible movements. He has found this extremely interesting and helpful in the past and continues to do it now.
His fighting skills are focused on the use of a baseball bat he was given when he joined the gang and children's toys. He uses things like marbles and bouncing balls as distractions or projectiles while using the bat as his primary offensive weapon. Emotional jabs will also be used as he fights to try and push his opponents off center so that he is able to level the playing field, especially against a powered person. He can use other toys as well to fight, depending on what they do. Using toys that generate loud noises for distractions is one such example. He will make use of his surroundings and environment as well, trying to best to always keep the upper hand or find a way out of a situation he knows he will lose in a direct confrontation. He doesn't like to engage in a battle he isn't sure to win.
