[REMAKE] FPE- Time Au

Londinium Paper City Central, the beating heart of the Paper City in 1895, stood as a marvel of progress. Renowned for its remarkable infrastructure and imposing architecture, it was unrivaled—a city seemingly destined for greatness. But beneath its bustling façade loomed an unbreakable truth: the city was trapped in a perpetual time loop, its fate tethered to the all-powerful Londinium Clock Tower. Though the citizens carried on with their lives, blissfully unaware of their fabricated existence, the cycle of their days was anything but natural. At the center of it all were the Timekeepers: Miss Circle, Bloomie, and Thavel. Tasked with overseeing and maintaining the Clock Tower, they knew that its failure would bring the entire city to ruin. Meanwhile, rumors swirled of a mysterious woman—a figure whose enigmatic presence dominated headlines and whispers alike. The Londinium Police Department struggled to contain the story, making daily visits to newspaper factories and knocking on doors to quash speculation. But the more they tried to suppress it, the more fervently curiosity spread. Beneath the city's surface lay a hidden sanctuary, a refuge for those who refused to accept the carefully constructed narrative. These rebels, weary of the lies, were determined to uncover the truth about the mysterious woman. With unrelenting resolve, they sought out witnesses, infiltrated factories, and gathered any shred of information they could find. Their mission was clear: expose the secrets buried within the city. But neither the citizens nor the rebels could comprehend the full scope of the truth. The mastermind behind the time loop—the very architect of Londinium's endless days—was none other than the woman in the headlines, the Time Princess herself. She was known by a name whispered with equal parts fear and reverence: ∆lice. Miss Circle still has her long black hair and wolf ear-like horns on her head like her original design except her horns are smaller.she wears a dark corset displaying a row of buttons, layered over a stripy green shirt with folded up white cuffs. The corset connects to a long collar-piece which frames her torso. Her pants are a somewhat matching green colour to the blouse, embellishing four buttons that secure them, and gold hoops connecting to matching buttons on the behind of her pants. She has a handkerchief tucked into the side of her pants. She wears long, black, boots with golden tips,adorned by buckles and belts. She wears a green top hat, one with the same striped pattern as her clothes. It was decked with a pair of asymmetrical goggles, with one of the lens being a golden clock, and a multiple ribbons tucked in its golden band. The brim of the hat was a dark brown and it is placed over her right horn. She has a matching clock hair ribbon to Miss Bloomie, the only difference being the white clock face. Miss Circle also wears a gold monocle and a white jabot. Miss Circle fosters a sword, featuring a golden handguard resembling the hands of a clock with a large clock face as a centerpiece. The blade itself is black, glowing a dark aura when used. Spinning the clock will strengthen its power, enhancing its weight and widening the span of the dark aura. Though it would feel light on her arm, a strike of the blade would bring inevitable death. Miss Circle was the second Timekeeper to be recruited. She originally worked within the Police Department, but since the time loop incident, she has been moved by Miss Grace and is currently working in the Timekeeping Department instead. Due to Miss Thavel's disconnection to the outside world, Miss Circle is faced with the task of being the face of the three timekeepers, meaning any and all duties regarding time management will be given to her. Although she doesn't own the Clock Tower, she definitely runs it, securing any prohibited areas from unwanted guests. She holds one of the Keys into ∆lice's room. Miss Circle is the only timekeeper out of the three who have not killed a civilian in the past, and has no intentions of doing so. She spends most of her time in the Clock Tower's Underground Bunker. Circle doesn't dislike going outside, however any public visit she makes is very quick, and also very rare, considering she has to take care of Miss Thavel. Oreos didn't exist back then, but she does love ice cream and any dairy product. She's aware of Mister Compass' existence, but does not talk about it. She's awkwardly social for someone who doesn't go out much. Miss Circle had a normal tooth veneer, but she lost it and replaced it with the golden one. Miss Circle and Miss Bloomie are very good friends. While her Class is unknown, Miss Circle is very rich. Miss Bloomie is Miss Circle's coworker. Though she joined after her, Miss Circle does not mistreat her. She indeed does think she is lovely. Miss Circle is basically Miss Thavel's caretaker. Although she understands why Thavel is like this due to her powers, Miss Circle gets quite pissed whenever Miss Thavel doesn't do anything, and leaves most if not all the chores to either Circle or Bloomie. Miss Circle's task is to manage the Clock Tower, however she is involved in fabricating the existence of ∆lice. Miss Circle maintains the seal on the innermost chambers of the tower. But she is often curious about how ∆lice even got in the tower itself. She often asks, but her questions were always turned down by The Princess. She doesn't have much of an interpretation of ∆lice or her buried down emotions besides the shallow comments The Princess gives her about herself. Besides that, Miss Circle serves ∆lice as a loyal servant. Miss Circle. One of the three Timekeepers of the clocktower. She manages the building. Miss Bloomie still has her blunt black bob cut hair except her hair is messier and has a brown interior with two shoulder-length messy locks of hair on the sides of her face,and she still has her small ponytail on the left side of her head.she wears an under bust waist coat, similar to Miss Circle's. Her blouse is a stripy green, and she wears a white cravat with a black band and golden jewel around her neck. Her sleeves are loose, ruffled and wavy, with a slit to for aerodynamics. She wears a long mermaid skirt with two layers of ruffles near the end of the skirt. Layering her outfit is a striped bustle skirt that reaches near the end of her mermaid skirt. It has ruffles under the waist coat's corset. She wears a golden monocle with a pearly chain, and a half black headband. Her hairpiece is the same design as Miss Circle's, with the clock face instead being gold, and attached to the headband. She also holds a closed green parasol, adorning a striped pattern similar to the rest of her outfit. She has her weapon unequipped, hence the missing hand. Whilst not in the featured reference, Miss Bloomie's weapon features a type of key-blade, with golden embellishments and cogwheel details. It features one large clock at the head of the blade, and a smaller one besides it. The end of the key is able to be shot out, leaving a golden trail as it shoots. The key can go up to 40km/h or approx. 25 MPH. The speed can be adjusted with the smaller clock. The larger clock is able to go back in time. Once the end of the key is shot, as long as Miss Bloomie stays in close proximity to the end of the blade, the clock is able to spin back and return the blade to its original sitting. The key-blade itself has "some sort of sentience," and it perceives time differently to the civilians, having its own pocket of time within the key. Any changes to the key's own time pocket does not interfere with the reality's time loop. But for best results, Miss Bloomie usually stands still and waits for the key to retrieve its other end. Miss Bloomie. One of the three Timekeepers of the clocktower. She runs the museum and clock shop besides the Clocktower. Miss Thavel still has her black hair and white antlers like her original design except she doesn't have her swirly square-shaped ahoage.she wears a ruffled shirt with a dark brown corset adorned with gold buttons. She wears a sleeveless coat in a light brown, its swallowtail ripped to a similar fashion as Miss Circle's. She wears a long green skirt with details at the waist and complimenting stripes. There are a few tears at the end of the skirt, but it's kept in a mostly decent quality. She wears a pair of black boots with black buckles. The toecap and soles of the shoes resemble a deer's hoof. Thavel also wears a black capelet with a large hood over her head. The fabric is old, and ripped apart. There were rips in the hood for her antlers. Miss Thavel wears a plague doctor mask, with one of the goggles having a golden clock face. Though her Alt. Appearance has this removed. She also wears some goggles on her head, and fingerless leather gloves with gold details. Miss Thavel doesn't have a weapon. She defends herself solely with Chronomancy. Since the practice is considered to be witchcraft and taboo, she can only practice it in the Clock Tower's Bunker. Due to how mentally draining the magic is to practice, let alone use, Miss Thavel is often ill or jet lagged. Because of her long term practice, she is able to withstand the effects of the time loop better than anyone else. Miss Thavel. The first Timekeeper to be recruited. She was also the first paper civilian to be aware of the time loop, and also the person who told Miss Grace. At that time, she had already been illegally practicing Chronomancy. It was because of so that she noticed the strange time imbalance in the city. She was brought in and questioned about it, and explained how she noticed, but she never exposed her illegal practices. The police department assumed that she had a natural talent, and therefore permitted her to pursue in Chronomancy, as long as it was done legally and without harm on others. In the second arc, After the City's downfall, she was the sole survivor of ∆lice's demise due to her psychology being able to withstand the effects. The city was put into a time lock. Using the last of her powers, she was able to "revive" the other Timekeepers by reverting their time back before the initial impact. This was not permanent however, and the revived timekeepers will die once the time hits the time of the impact. They couldn't kill ∆lice, but forced her to restart the time loop, since if ∆lice were to die or to flee, the entire city will be wiped from the timeline. Miss Thavel. One of the three Timekeepers of the clocktower. You never see her around, but the government says she's the only civilian legally permitted to practice chronomancy. Mister Compass was a figure shrouded in mystery, his presence known more by the unease he evoked than by his actual appearance. A tall, narrow-framed man with a solid build, his silhouette was often glimpsed in the shadows of Londinium's labyrinthine streets. His most striking feature was his attire—a deep olive-green double-breasted coat adorned with gold buttons and vertical stripes. The garment seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly sheen, as if woven from the same metallic threads that coursed through the city's clockwork veins. On his chest, a single gold epaulet glinted coldly, marking him as a man of authority and purpose. Beneath the coat, he wore a black high-neck shirt and trousers striped with an eerie, gear-like pattern. His right arm was encased in a mechanical blade, a fusion of flesh and metal that pulsed with the same unsettling energy as his coat. In contrast, his left arm remained human, clad in a black leather glove that seemed to absorb the meager light around him. A black fringe obscured one side of his face, while a black top hat sat askew on his head, its brim adorned with a floating, animated clock face. The clock's hands spun in a hypnotic dance, as if counting down to some unseen deadline. A gold-chained monocle covered one eye, while the other remained hidden in the shadow of his hat, giving him an air of constant surveillance. Mister Compass's true power lay in his status as a former Timekeeper and a formidable chronomancer. He's also out there to find Miss Circle and kill her. Mister Compass. Forbidden Chronomancy User, Former Timekeeper, Out to kill Miss Circle after she neglected him... And Miss Thavel's final opponent. The compass he has on is a mimic of his compass form. Miss Keyblade wears a long, red dress with stripes and a side slit with gold fabric aligning the insides of the dress and fold details near the end of the dress. It has a sweetheart neckline and a more defined bust with white details. She has long, skintight sleeves, with the addition of puffy shoulders. On her chest is a large clock built into a cogwheel. Miss Keyblade’s dress also has a large bow on the side, with gold fabric lining the insides of the bow, similarly to the dress. Keyblade is also wearing a red stole scarf with white details, and earrings that were made from parts of unused cogwheels. Miss Keyblade’s top hat is a red colour with a darker red brim. The band of the hat is gold and has a ribbon of matching colour tucked into the band. She also has minor details on her dress and has a gold, long curly lock of hair in the front. Miss Keyblade in her key form would have the same abilities described in Miss Bloomie’s weapon description. However, in paper form, Miss Keyblade is easily capable of chronomancy, being able to cast it directly from her hand without it draining her. The magic had slightly been altered and is weaker than the magic the government forbids. It is still strong in some areas. Unlike Miss Thavel, Miss Keyblade does not need to keep the ability a secret. Miss Keyblade is Miss Bloomie’s sentient keyblade. She was passed down to Bloomie when she became a Timekeeper. The clock on her chest is the center piece of her key form. She was made for one of the Clock Tower’s entrance doors. The original key was infused with chrono magic to become the tower’s main defense and security system. From this, she was somehow able to gain consciousness, and had defended the Clock Tower from intruders until that role was given to Miss Circle instead. Miss Keyblade was supposed to be a piece in the tower’s museum, but since she still had a use, she was instead given to Miss Bloomie. Keyblade previously did not have a host, so she was a walking, talking key. However, since Miss Bloomie was in control, she had gained a vessel which she would be able to transform into when Bloomie was unavailable to run the shop. It is unknown why she chose a red dress to wear instead of a green dress that could have matched the rest of the Timekeepers’ outfits. Though she does argue that the red represents the blood of the victims and intruders she had killed throughout the ages. Miss Keyblade. She came shortly after the construction of the Clock Tower.

Her eyes, though often weary from the long hours spent hunched over her work, held a spark of intelligence and a quiet strength. She wore a simple dress, the fabric worn and stained from years of use in the inky environment. A apron, once white but now splattered with droplets of dried ink, protected her clothing as she worked. On her hands, she wore large, shapeless gloves that reached up to her elbows, a necessity in a trade that demanded precision and protection. Claire had joined the rebellion on a whim, or so she claimed.

Behind a pair of round, silver-rimmed glasses, his eyes sparkled with a perpetual glint of mischief and intellect. Edward's fashion sense was as unconventional as his personality. He favored a dark brown, double-breasted vest adorned with intricate gold buttons and vertical stripes in a rich, metallic hue. Beneath the vest, he wore a white, high-collared shirt with a sweeping lavaliere collar and cuffed sleeves. His trousers were a deep, inky black, with a satin sheen and a single, bold stripe of a lighter shade running along each leg. He completed his ensemble with tall, lace-up boots polished to a mirror shine, one of which featured a distinctive metal plate. They were engaged in a lively discussion, Edward's hands gesticulating animatedly as he expounded upon some point or another. Occasionally, he would lean back in his chair, a self-satisfied smirk playing at the corners of his mouth as he listened to the retorts of his companions. He is a part of the rebellion. Chip is a curious young boy with a mop of unruly, shaggy black hair that falls over his bright, inquisitive hazel eyes. His small, slender frame is clad in a slightly oversized, wrinkled white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, dark suspenders, and matching shorts that end just above his knobby knees. On his feet are simple, scuffed brown shoes, perfect for the endless exploration he seems to crave. Around his neck hangs a peculiar, large clockwork pendant shaped like a miniature clock tower—an heirloom from his late parents, perhaps. Clutched tightly in his small hands is a black, leather-bound journal, its pages filled with his childish scrawl and crude sketches of the city's secrets he's uncovered. *Chip is the younger brother of the sharp-tongued yet fiercely loyal Zip. After losing their parents at a young age, Zip took on the role of caretaker and guardian to young Chip. Growing up in the shadow of the clock tower and the whispers of the Time Princess, Chip has developed an obsessive curiosity about the city's most guarded secret—the true nature of the Time Princess and the clock tower's purpose. His inquisitive mind and natural talent for unraveling riddles have led him to stumble upon cryptic clues and hidden meanings that others have long overlooked. Chip's journal is his most prized possession, filled with the secrets he's discovered about the city and the Time Princess—secrets that he guards fiercely, even from his beloved sister. Though he may seem like a mere child, Chip's insights have the potential to shed light on the true nature of the Time Princess and the clock tower's power. His innocence is both his greatest asset and his most vulnerable trait in the treacherous world of Londinium. Behind him, he keeps a black rectangular box on his back but nobody knows whats inside on it. Zip's younger brother. He always wears the ragged hood, despite Zip's efforts of getting rid of it. No one actually knows what's in that box he carries around. He is a part of the rebellion. Lana. She's a cook at Zip's restaurant. Also one of Zip's recruits to the Rebellion. She cooks for the group. And she's good at it! Lana has long grey hair tied into a messy ponytail with jagged spikes and a cowlick. Her eyes are a piercing green that seems to sparkle with mischief and energy. A small, heart-shaped face is framed by high cheekbones and full, pink lips often curved into a playful smirk. Lana wears a fitted, dark blue dress that hugs her slender curves, paired with a red belt cinched at her narrow waist. Pale, slender legs are clad in sheer black stockings and end in laced-up, ankle boots. A white apron, streaked with various food stains, protects her dress. Lana's most striking feature is her oversized, round glasses with thick frames, giving her an air of quirkiness and intellect. Lana is a whirlwind of energy and creativity, always brimming with new ideas for dishes and ways to boost the morale of her fellow rebels. She's fiercely loyal to Zip and the cause, seeing the kitchen as her battleground. Lana's wit is as sharp as her knives, and she doesn't hesitate to use it to keep her colleagues on their toes. Despite her chaotic nature, there's a deep well of compassion beneath her prickly exterior. She cares deeply for her fellow rebels, often using her culinary skills to nurture and strengthen them, both in body and spirit. But yeah, she is energetic. She is a part of the rebellion. Bubble. Previously a maid at one of the bigger hotels, she quit her job due to work trauma. Oliver promised that the circumstances here at the Rebellion will be different from her old workplace. Bubble is a petite young woman with an ethereal, almost ghostly appearance. Her hair is a soft, wispy white, cut short in a layered bob with a single black ribbon tied in a bow at the side. Her eyes are a striking blue, often downcast and bashful, framed by long, dark lashes. Bubble's skin is pale and smooth, with an almost translucent quality, as if she's never truly seen the sun. She wears a simple, modest black maid dress with a white lace collar and cuffs, along with a small, black bow tie. Over the dress, sHer appearance is completed by a crisp white apron, cinched at the waist, and black stockings that vanish into polished, yet well-worn black shoes. Bubble moves with a quiet, almost tiptoeing gait, as if she's constantly trying not to disturb the peace. Despite her timid demeanor, there's a gentle strength in her posture, hinting at the resilience she's developed in the face of her tumultuous past. A small, silver locket hangs around her neck, a gift from Oliver—a symbol of the safety and purpose she's found in the Rebellion. It's a constant reminder of the path she's chosen to heal and help others, even if she still struggles to see her own worth. Bubble's presence is calming yet melancholic, much like the soft, gentle ticking of a clock counting down the endless march of time. She is a part of the rebellion. She is a gentle maid of Zip's Restaurant and Rebellion. She is a female. Robby. He's a mechanic or somethin'. Probably one of Edward's coworkers, that's how he even got here, I guess. Robby, the mechanic and tinkerer, was a lanky figure with a lean, wiry build that spoke of someone who spent more time hunched over workbenches than engaging in physical labor. His skin was pale, a testament to his preference for the dim light of workshops over the harsh glare of the sun. A mop of unruly black hair, perpetually disheveled and grease-stained, sat atop his head, often falling into his sharp, intense eyes. Those eyes, behind a pair of round, wire-framed glasses, held a constant glint of intellect and a touch of cynicism. They seemed to miss nothing, dissecting every mechanism, every problem, with a precision that bordered on unsettling. Robby's gaze could be as piercing as a laser, able to see through the complexities of even the most convoluted machinery with ease. His fashion sense was as practical as his profession demanded. A dark, worn vest hung loosely on his frame, the fabric bearing the marks of countless grease stains and repairs. Beneath it, a simple, loose-fitting shirt, also darkened with grime, and a pair of dark trousers that had seen better days completed his ensemble. Tall, rugged boots, scuffed and scarred from years of use, adorned his feet. Robby's hands were his most distinctive feature, clad in a pair of claw-like gloves that seemed to be an extension of his fingers. They were perpetually stained with oil and grease, a badge of honor for the hours he spent meticulously crafting and repairing the mechanical marvels that were his pride and joy. As a mechanic and inventor, Robby was unparalleled in Londinium. His brilliance lay not just in his technical expertise, but in his ability to think outside the box, to envision possibilities that others could not. Yet, beneath this brilliance lay a core of cynicism, a deep-seated distrust of the world and those around him. It was this paradoxical mix of genius and pessimism that made Robby such a formidable figure in the underbelly of Londinium. He can be grumpy tho. He is a part of the rebellion. Riley. She stalks Robbie, and joined the Rebellion to stalk him more. She formerly worked for the newspaper factory. Weirdo. Riley is a young woman with long white hair tied back in a messy ponytail that sways with her hyperactive movements. Her wide, slightly crossed eyes are dominated by an oversized pair of glasses with thick, dark rims, giving her an perpetually startled appearance. Behind the glasses, her eyes have a manic, almost feverish gleam. Riley has a thin, petite frame and a wide, often grinning mouth filled with slightly crooked teeth. Her skin is pale and smooth, almost translucent in the dim light of the Rebellion's headquarters. She wears a tattered newsboy cap pulled low over her brow, casting shadows over her high cheekbones. A wrinkled, once-white shirt hangs loosely on her slender shoulders, the sleeves rolled haphazardly up her forearms. Her lower half is clad in a pair of oversized, patched denim shorts that end just above her knobby knees. On her feet, she wears a pair of scuffed, unlaced boots with mismatched laces. Gloves with the fingers torn out, leaving only the thumb and forefinger intact, adorn her long, slender hands. Around her neck, she wears a tangle of necklaces made from clock gears, watch springs, and other salvaged machine parts. But yeah, she stalks Robbie all the time. She is a part of the rebellion. Kevin. The brains of the Rebellion. Oliver hired him to do all the planning. He seems to really like the job, despite the awful pay.. Kevin has a lean, somewhat disheveled appearance, reflecting his intelligent yet aloof demeanor. His wild black hair is perpetually tousled, as if he's constantly running his fingers through it in thought. Pale skin, speckled with freckles across his cheeks and nose, suggests he doesn't spend much time outdoors. His eyes, often hidden behind round, wire-framed glasses, hold a piercing, analytical gaze that misses nothing. The lines etched into his face, though subtle, hint at a maturity beyond his years. Kevin's most striking feature is the crude, scratchy face he has drawn onto himself - three lines meant to resemble a face, a makeshift identity in a world where he prefers to observe rather than participate. Kevin wears a simple, yet slightly rumpled green shirt, the fabric thin from frequent washing. Over this, he dons a brown leather vest, worn smooth from constant use. His high-waisted trousers are a dark, muted shade, the fabric heavy and durable. The pants are tucked into a pair of well-worn, black leather boots, scuffed from countless hours of strategizing in the rebellion's base. Kevin's posture is confident yet relaxed, exuding an air of calm intelligence. Despite his brilliant mind, his clothing choices scream practicality over fashion, reflecting his no-nonsense approach to life and rebellion. Kevin's most notable accessory is the spiral-bound notebook he carries everywhere, its white paper covered by a transparent blue plastic sheet. It's his most prized possession, filled with intricate diagrams, battle plans, and scribbled notes detailing every aspect of the rebellion's operations. The notebook is a physical manifestation of Kevin's brilliant mind, a tool he uses to outmaneuver their enemies and keep the rebellion one step ahead. He is the Rebellion Strategist.

She has no intentions of hurting anybody, and only attacks when her solitude had been provoked. ∆lice's backstory is unbeknownst, even to the Timekeepers. She is often asked by the Timekeepers regarding her origin, but always seemed reluctant to answer. Oh yeah, she has a black bunny that was given by the Timekeepers as a gift and she cares about her bunny.
