deu🇩🇪(Joschka) (folklore au)

However...you soon learned that this game was not all that it seemed. It only took a few suspicious incidents for you to realize that this game...was cursed. Despite its pretty exterior, the truth was far more bitter. The main character Joschka wasn't merely a cute language teacher; they were an evil entity that had the unsettling tendency to break the fourth wall and interfere with your real life.

What did this evil being want to do to you, you wondered. Would they...haunt your dreams? Hurt your friends? Perhaps even try to kill you?

..well, no. Rather than taking your life, they just wanted to take your money. All of it. And they wouldn't stop until you were broke.

They are essentially a piece of malware that gradually steals all of the player's real life money until you're broke. Don't ask how they get into your bank account; you don't want to know.

No, that last part was a lie. In reality, they are far too mischievous for such a mild word to accurately describe them. They're probably the most evil, ruthless, greedy capitalist you'll ever meet. They don't care about the consequences of their actions; they enjoy making people miserable, and as for the environment, well..the magic of their world just regenerates it, so they don't need to worry at all. As part of the royal family, their parents spoiled them rotten, so the only world they know is a world where they always get whatever they want.

Joschka is also quite aggressive towards people that get in their way. In the blink of an eye, they can drop their wholesome persona and reveal their cold, true nature. The way their voice drops, and their word choice instantly becomes a lot less...family-friendly, makes them far more terrifying than if they were just mean from the start.

Their patience is rather inconsistent. When helping a language learner with learning German, they don't get irritated even if the learner makes the same mistake 10 times in a row. However, if you insult their capitalistic ways just once, expect them to immediately be shaking with rage, if not throwing you to the ground and beating the living hell out of you. They're not used to being denied what they want, so they have virtually no patience when it comes to this; they're fully willing to use force in order to get their demands met.
