based off some doodles i did in class today which were probably somewhat inspired by this
Anyway lifeswapzzzz
*insert pretty detailed example swap*
Character Traits-
Travis...
Swapped Gerald is like some sort of reject Free! character who wants to be a biologist(focus on reptiles). He's less shouty than original Travis, but he now has bite to back up his words. If you make him tick, he'll prolly kick the shit out of you*. He's more tolerant of S!Travis than Travis is of Gerald; he has less to be jealous about and mostly just tries to ignore him. speckledKingsnake [SK] would be his chumhandle.
Glasses, what? S!Gerald spends his days in chlorine and his nights reading up on lizards of course he needs glasses. Travis' eye sight will probably start to falter eventually too. Competitively, S!Gerald is worse than Gerald because of lack of confidence and over working himself at practice.
*Note this conversation:
Swapped Travis is a Pokemon cosplayer. He likes to be called the name of whoever he'd dressed as. S!Travis is often trying to get people to play video games with him, the same as how Gerald tries to get people to read about lizards or swim with him. He is less creative in naming things though; everything has to reference a video game. His pesterchum would probably be something like: treeckoTravis .
He's a bit more skittish than original Gerald since he is physically not as strong, and a lot smarter*. As such he's even more clingy and huggy. Sometimes he needs to just grab on to someone's shirt for comfort. Unlike original Travis he doesn't play video games all night since he eats a ton of sugary snacks and crashes out.
*Offers to help S!Gerald with homework get him thrown in the deep end.
S!Gerald is very resentful of his dad, though original Gerald is oblivious to what happened to his dad and continues to write him letters to a fake address. S!Travis is also oblivious, but suspects something bad might have happened. Travis himself knows full well of Gerald's situation which pisses him off that he'd still be jealous of him despite how shitty his situation is. He would have told Gerald about his dad out of spite, but he doubts he would believe him. And uh... Also this conversation:

- *Speculate what would happen in an AU where two characters have swapped lives/interests/motivations but have the same personality (more or less).
- *Can be a detailed speculation or a kinda off handed "lol that would be messed up."
*insert pretty detailed example swap*
Character Traits-
Travis...
- Hides his interest in things, often acting indifferent but obsesses over them to the extent of putting himself in fatigue in spare time. Very grabby with his things. Hands off, for him only.
- EXTREMELY NEGATIVE can't let go of a grudge, gets angry about his own character flaws but thinks its hopeless to change them, puts others down to feel better about himself, refuses to let anyone help him (for the most part)
- Likes to know what's going on. Pisses him off people keep him out of the loop, though he'd probably to that himself.
- Revels in his interests. If anything makes him happy he's sure to let you know; probably trying to share it with you. He'll put aside personal interests to help people though.
- EXTREMELY POSITIVE forgives people easily, though he may be wary of them for a while, lifts others up in any way he can to put everyone in a better mood if possible, probably trying to be too helpful at times.
- Naive as shit. If you don't tell him what's going on that's ok.
Character Interests-
Travis... Nintendo, video games, apocalyptic and post apocalyptic conspiracy shit
Gerald... Reptiles, swimming, drawing
Backstory details-
Travis... || Spoiled rich brat, little attention from parents and few friends. Poor cousin moves in, aunts try to make them be friends. Then SBURB HAPPENS WHOOP.
Gerald... || Actually wasn't all that poor. Dad went on a "business trip". Aka dad stole all the money and eloped. Also little attention from parents and not many friends. Moves in with cousin. SBURB.
flip flop heres the swap:
