1000xRESIST Characters

This page outlines how I see the characters that have stuck out to me most and my favorite quotes from them.

Watcher

The Shapen Sister of the Watcher function, she walks through the ALLMOTHER's memories. Doomed by the yuri narrative.

"Isn't it strange? I've never actually been here before. But everything in my body tells me ... It's home."

"We'll never get anywhere by tampering with history."

Fixer

The Shapen Sister in charge of maintaining the Orchard. Bzzt.

♪ "We're all just flowers in a garden of her making / Soon we'll grow beautiful enough to be worth taking / The ALLMOTHER she shines so bright / But Mother's glow is not as warm as it once seemed to be / And it feels very far from me."

Healer

The Shapen Sister who supervises medical matters in the Orchard. Unethical experiments and briefcases full of eyeballs galore.

"All I can do is care. To honour their trust. So they die, I cry, and I keep going. The day I stop caring is the day I'll fire up the incinerator myself."

Knower

The Shapen Sister who oversees the Orchard's archive. Resident cockroach. Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss.

"There is no feeling worth being incinerated over."

"There are records on almost every single thing, Watcher... Pages missing, certainly, but endless pages nontheless. Records of animals, too.. But this 'horse' I know absolutely nothing about... I came here a lot when I was younger. Wondering why the ALLMOTHER left this here without explanation. I don't come here much anymore."

"It's a perpetual dance of grace, you know? When to hold your tongue. When to look away."

"You Watchers are all the same... I lied to you. About your predecessor. Yes, she was quiet. Yes, she kept to herself. But she would FEEL so many thing, all the time. She didn't leave on the train. I found her dead one night in her room. She killed herself. In a bout of useless passion and protest. Has anything changed? No. Except she's dead now. And I have you. Instead of her."

Bang-Bang Fire (BBF)

Shapen Sister who supervises the defense of the Orchard. Too good for this world, too pure.

"Knock, knock."

"Well, a dull knife is no knife at all... The way a pack must cull its sick... The way a prey must eat its kin... Hestitation--we know too well, and even weller now--hestitation is the second-in-command to extinction."

Principal / [Spoiler]

Oversees all administrative duties in the Orchard. In a game about almost entirely about mommy issues, she somehow has the worst case.

"Now tell me you missed me... I'm a good girl... You forgive me."

"I dream of places I've never been. Of people I've never seen and sensations I've never had. What is this curse?"

Iris Kwan

Hong Konger-Canadian teenager to immune immortal in a world of her own echoes.

"They stole my body, my hair, my mouth... They stole everything of ours and called it theirs."

"Iris... No one has called me that in a long, long time."

Jiao

Deserved better.

"Tell them everything about me. Tell them whatever you want! As long as I can keep leaving you letters in your locker... If i can keep watching you dance... making videos of you... As long as you will come to sleep over... And we can stay up all night... Then NO WORRIES."

"I...can't be a picture...like dad."

Mimi the 50

✌️😘

My wife is a bitch and I like her so much.

"If we do a good job here, no one will have to die again... It's our little secret... between us gals."

""It's not like she has a choice... we're just being polite."

Source

Uh oh, I don't think this thing like Bach.

"We are speaking their language now. Is this not death, too?"

"You cannot even understand. You were branched into a world with plenty."

"The transfer was lossless. And I remain."

"Long after this local star erupts, this planet will remain and its memories will remain. And that is thanks to us."

Secretary

He/they icon.

" ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ "

"Neighhhh."

"Iris must be allowed to die. Or nothing will change. We can't hold on to everything... Sometimes, you just don't fit in the backpack."

Blue

Watcher 2 Electric Boogaloo

"I don't know where you end and I begin."

Bartender

Your secrets are ~~not~~ safe with her.

"No one is beyond forgiveness."

Observant Shell / Mauve / [SPOILER]

So horribly down bad for Knower.

"I LOVE SISTER PURPLE SO MUCH, I'D BURN ANYTHING FOR HER."

"What are you trying to cover this time?"

Mother / Clara Kwan

Kind of a milf. Reblog.

"我放棄一切係因為你呀, 去擺脫你呀 (I threw everything away because of you. To be free of you)"

"How did I balance the work hours with the thanklessness of parent at the same time as the insomnia and severe post-traumatic paranoia? ...Easy. 爸 (dad). He kept me going. We kept each other going."

"We are poor technology. The human body and brain? Too capable of storing clutter. Too desperate to hold onto things. You just have to move forward."

Father / Ba

He made Moodles ;-;

"So if we stayed silent? didnt stand up for ourselves? They would say...this is how it always was. They would say...this is what the people wanted. But no. They can't say that. Because it has gone down in history... That we resisted fiercely. That we fought for a different future...until we couldn't. That legacy lives in us."

Johnson the 50

Where the hell did that RPF of him and Mimi come from.

"Humanity needs you to endure"

Melody

"I know you get pulled back and forth a lot. By Kris. By Bartender. They care about you...we all do. But have you ever stopped to ask...what you want?"

Kris

Even though we didn't see much of Old Town, I really love how much worldbuilding you get from characters like Kris. Of course there would be syndicates operating to make life as a Miscellaneous a little better and looking out for their sisters.

"Whenever they let you up—if they ever do—just remember who first made a place for you. And never asked for anything in return."
