Try-hard Trouble

Summary:

With 3221 survivor wins, over 4000 rounds played, and multiple survivors either over level 200 or close to level 200 in Forsaken, one could call Dan a sweat or a Try-hard (title card drop). After stumbling across a certain fic written by their now friend, their sponsor decides it would be an entertaining endeavor to dropkick Dan straight first into the closest thing Dan will ever get to playing Forsaken in real life.

Not that Dan is complaining, the lack of awful lag and ping in exchange for possibly experiencing death is quite the fair trade. Plus, they get to hang around all their favorite characters! However, it's not like possessing the current leader of Robloxia is an easy feat by any means, but Dan figures that they'll play it be ear.

After a brief pep talk with 007n7, Dan sets off to help a fellow support Elliot. Hopefully Dan's hero complex won't get them killed.

Notes:

This is my first ever fic on Ao3 so please don't like... Tear me to shreds ૮( ᵕ̩̩ - ᵕ̩̩ c)ა

I'd love to hear about headcanons, and I'd love to answer any questions in the comments. I really don't wanna character assassinate any if the forsakeners 💔

Notes:

I'll probably be posting chapters every 1-2 weeks with each chapter being somewhere in the range of 20-40 pages... But it could take longer considering that these comics take a long time...
There also will be some of my friend's SIs joining in future chapters, so if that interests you please stick around ◕‿↼)

Anyways here's some random babbling:

- Survivors don't exactly have names for their abilities; for example, rush hour isn't specifically called rush hour. Certain abilities the survivors do know the name of, like the straightforward ones (block, punch, slash, etc); however, abilities like corrupt energy or Nova star (which aren't specifically said out loud) probably wouldn't have a specified name.

- Survivors also don't know "meta" moves, like sentry/dispenser parrying, the Guest corner glitch, roundabout trickstabs, etc, as this isn't a game to them

- On a similar note, I can't decide if Survivors would actively juke the killer or not. In my personal opinion, the survivors just try and avoid the killer in general or loop the killer, but I expect being in close quarters with a being easily able to kill you would cause panic, causing juking to be difficult to say the least

- Dan has a different contract compared to the other SIs, as their sponsor isn't really a seperate entity from them. Their sponsor is called [MIND], and is an alter ego for Dan, similar to Roblox and Builderman or Telamon and Shedletsky. Dan is an extension or puppet for mind that is allowed to do as they please with occasional intervention from [MIND].

- Dan goes by any pronouns, but mainly uses they/them
