Cipher Academy - Choose Your Truth

Cipher Academy - Choose Your Truth

The inevitable is here... Sadly I couldn't post this at the same time I posted the last comic bc this cherry blossom has seriously been wilting recently phew... But yeah, with the Truth comes a Choice. It's now the time for the Cipher Academy students to choose their truth! Both Raz and Miriam need allies and they are going to look for them through connections and word of mouth. On Raz's side we have Meylo and Valeria On Miriam's side we have Amai Now it's a matter of exploring how these characters and stories connect with your OCs RULES: - Draw your Cipher OC(s) wearing the t-shirt with the colour of the side they pick (green for Raz, red for Miriam); - If you have multiple OCs, you can draw one per piece OR draw them all together with their respective shirts, it's up to you; - You can also draw a mini comic or interaction that portrays how each of the OCs made their choice (which I would LOVE to see since, ya'know, it's fun to see how everyone reacts to the story but no pressure), but don't forget to ALWAYS add the coloured shirt somehow; (This challenge is mainly a census, but will also serve as a way for you to explore the narratives as your OC(s) and determine their path through this decision) HOW TO PICK A SIDE: - DO NOT pick based on your own ideals; - Each OC has their own personality, their own friends and their own beliefs. Some may be more inclined to side with their friends, while others would be very reliant on what they think is right, even if none of their friends believe the same. Different characters thinks different ways; - Imagine the way your OC would be told both narratives/one narrative and why they'd believe in it or not; - Take into account their personality and their relationship with authority; - Take into account their impression of Miriam and Raz themselvels; - And lastly EVERYONE joining needs to pick a side. Don't worry, there's no bad consequences for either choice, they're just deciding what they believe in. Any other questions you might have I'll be always open to answering! Also the challenge will have a time limit just because this challenge will no longer be relevant as the story progresses and Plot 1 ends, so I'm giving everyone 1 month <3 Have fun thinking about the future!!

Choices πŸ”πŸ“–NEHEHHEEHE

vvvv long description below vvvv

So overall this decision might seem a bit off on both ends since Jean's friends are all on Raz's side and Agwe is more of a neutral party. However, I swear there's some reasoning TRUST!!!

For agwe, this was one of the hardest decisions he has ever had to make. He hates picking sides and even in this case, he considers both of them near and dear. He hasn't interacted with Miriam much but he knows, or at least feels, her intentions to be pure. Now the real trouble here is Raz. Raz is a glass canon that seems to be getting more cracks with every event and he can't stand to see him like this. Agwe didn't join Raz's side to protect him from Miriam, he joined Raz's side to protect Raz from...himself. Agwe understands that at the end of the day, Raz will hate him for what he may have to do, but as long as Raz is safe, Agwe is happy and fine being a "villain" to his friend. At least that's what he's telling himself...

Jean's decision was based on the old "keep your friends close but your enemies closer" vibe. He does not trust Miriam but he also feels that Raz is well protected and supported, so why not join the enemy? Miriam claiming to be a shadow helper and supporting CA definitely ticked a box in Jean's mind since he is probably one of the biggest CA supporters. Cipher Academy saved him from himself and he is willing to lay down everything for the institution, but the question is, can he trust Miriam to be a good leader? Overall his answer is a big no, but there's something about Raz that is a little... off-putting...Like there's something underneath it all that scares him slightly... so ya maybe it's ok to trust Miriam a bit...


There's so much more I want to talk about, about each of their decisions but I'll leave it at that for now EHHEHEHE
