Support Hero Gabriel AU: Magic System Re-Write

A long time ago, back when humans were first gaining tools, the magic of Chaos formed. As it gained sentience, it began to affect things at will. One time, this formed a new magic. The magic of Creation. As Chaos and Creation ran amok, there was nothing to act to balance out what was happening. Creation could form things, but only on occasion were they able to be destroyed by Chaos. And as such, destruction was formed.

As the centuries passed and humans gained more and more knowledge and understanding of the world around them, more magics began to form. The magic of Time formed as humans began to keep track of days and nights and formulated ways to do so with precision. Luck and Misfortune formed as humans began attributing them to good fortune and bad. Protection formed slowly, being formed by the deaths of those trying to save others from harm. Transportation formed with the creation of the cart. Deception slowly wormed its way into existence. Empathy was formed as people told stories and helped each other through the highs and lows of life.

These, were the magic of humanity. Meanwhile, around the world various other sentient creatures gained their own forms of magics. The dragons known for their elemental magic. The nymphs and naiads with their domain magic. The list went on and on.

Eventually, the magics began to combine. From them, came the Kwamis. Now, kwamis unlike their parent magics, are not all powerful. Unlike the magics they have physical bodies that limit how much control they had over their immense magic. It was found eventually that if two kwamis grew close that another kwami would form, combining the two together into a more specific form of magic.

Depending on how many generations had passed from a magic, usually entailed less easily accessible abilities. And along with it, a lack of a title. Many kwamis would give themselves one anyways, as it was seen as similar to a name. But with more and more kwamis forming, their lack of magical control resulted in disaster after disaster. Until eventually, a mage found a solution.

By utilizing magic to bind a kwami to a jewel, a being could wear the jewel in order to focus the magic into something manageable. The more compatible the holder and kwami’s magic, the better the power could be used. Further, with enough training new powers could even be used.

So, the mage worked tirelessly, binding each kwami to a jewel. She then formed a team together, tasking them with finding compatible users who would use the power of the jewels, the miraculous, in order to help their community.

And such, the miraculous were utilized across time and space.

Some proved to be more unwieldy than others. Chaos, Time, and those that had first generation kwamis in particular. The first generation kwamis had too pure of magic to find truly compatible holders. So it was decreed that as long as the holder had a strong enough magical similarity, then they could wield it.

Time and Chaos had the exact opposite issue. Holders near and far who were deemed ‘close enough’ either failed miserably or would go mad from the powers they held. So the miraculous were deemed a last resort. Only to be used with near perfect fits.

Healthy reminder to fandom peeps:

If a character is part of a minority or discriminated against group, you can’t ‘headcanon’ it away.

If a character isn’t part of a minority or discriminated against group and you headcanon them as being part of a minority or discriminated against group, it’s fine.

Because the second one isn’t representation erasure. The first one is. There are plenty of characters to relate to that are in the majority and aren’t discriminated against. There are limited amounts of minority and discriminated against characters.

Alya: So, girls night! Who wants to go first on telling our deepest secrets?!

Alix: Nope, I’m out of here

Alya: Come on! You’ve got to have something you want to share! Plus it’s the first girls night and you promised!

Alix: Nah

Rose: I’m going to agree with Alix on this one Alya, most of us weren’t even friends prior to you organizing this. I think this is a bit soon.

Mylene: Yeah, how about we wait for everyone to feel comfortable sharing?

Alya: So I’ll get the secrets eventually?

Mylene: Yes.

Alya: Works for me!

Support hero Gabriel AU: hasn’t gotten accurate measurements on Chloé since she and Adrien were like 7. Been a very busy guy in the meantime

In this AU Emilie basically dropped off into paranoia a few years into Adrien’s life and started artificially shaping every aspect of his life in order to ensure he developed into her expectations. Gabriel was not her and is human, so he was considered a ‘bad’ influence by her magically infested mind. She had already pushed him to go bigger than he wanted with his dreams for his company, it just became the matter of pushing him even further.

[floraracoon]

Gabriel: So. You are friends with my son?

Nino: Yeah dude- sir!

Kim: Yes!

Max: That does seem to be the case.

Chloe: Obviously.

Sabrina: Sort of?

Marinette: Y-yes Mr Agreste, sir!

Gabriel: … I need all of your measurements as soon as possible.

Nino: …. Why?

Gabriel: …. Clothes.

Kim: Are you making us clothes?

Gabriel: Yes!

Chloe: Why haven’t you done so for me before!

Gabriel: I had no time! I now have plenty of time!

Adrien: That’s amazing Father!

Gabriel: Thank you, son.

[floraracoon]

Marinette: I do not have a crush on Adrien

Alya: You do!

Marinette: We’re just friends.

Alya: You blush around him all the time!

Marinette: Just because he’s objectively hot, not because I have a crush.

Alya: You think he’s hot!

Marinette: Did you hear the second part of my sentence?

[floraracoon]

Kim: Have you ever had a time where you end up in a zoo somehow and the monkeys starts squawking at you like you’ve personally offended them by being in their presence so you end up going to a different exhibit only to find out that one of the monkeys got the lock to the cage open so you have to run around the zoo with a small herd of monkeys following you in the hopes that you don’t trip over the various food things they chuck at you because you would end up swarmed with monkeys and your parents would stop you from ever going to the zoo again but you really like going to the zoo?

Max: No.

Kim: Dang, you’re the fifth person to say that.

Max: Have you tried asking Marinette?

Kim: No, but now I will!

- A few moments later -

Kim: Good news! Marinette has gotten me un-grounded!

[floraracoon]

Marinette: Nino, why do you hang out with Chloe?

Nino: Somebody needs to be a good influence on Adrien, and Chloe’s friends are too buried in books to help.

[floraracoon]

Gabriel: Explain to me again what you’re going to go do?

Adrien: I’m going to the betting ring to watch Kim and Ivan fight.

Gabriel: Why are you betting? You are 13.

Adrien: I’ve got twenty bucks on Ivan.

Gabriel: You haven’t answered my question.

Adrien: Its for charity

Gabriel: That gives me more questions!

Adrien: It’s quite simple really.

Gabriel: It’s not.

[floraracoon]

Adrien: Chloe, why are you antagonizing Marinette?

Chloe: She’s my rival!

Nino: She doesn’t know that!

Chloe: Ridiculous! We’ve been rivals since kindergarten!

Nino: LITERALLY NOBODY BUT YOU KNOWS THAT.

[floraracoon]

Nino: Dude, is your dad like…. Okay?

Adrien: I don’t know, you’re the first friend I’ve made on my own since Mom died.

Nino: … Dude

- Meanwhile -

The Gorilla (signing): I think you’ve made enough designs for the boy sir.

Gabriel: Nonsense, Orville!

Orville: That sketchbook was empty yesterday

Gabriel: I was inspired!

Orville: I’m going to text his mom.

Gabriel: Don’t! You know she’ll refuse the gift!

Orville: It’s an entire wardrobe at this point, of course she’ll refuse.

Miraculous AU - Support Hero Gabriel

In this AU, the effect of the broken Peacock miraculous includes all of Emelie’s emotions being ramped up until her passing. This results in her slowly replacing a majority of the Gabriel brand staff with senti-monsters, which worsens her condition. As her condition worsens she becomes a caricature of her past, speeding up Gabriel’s grieving process because in his mind his wife died long ago.

Nathalie however, did not start grieving until after Emelie dies.

This makes it so when the time comes for Gabriel to fulfill Emelie’s paranoia induced plan to resurrect herself, he decides not to. Nathalie instead takes up the mantle. Due to the change in power dynamic between the main villain and the less willing miraculous holder, Gabriel does not follow her in this flight of insanity.

Other less relevant points:

- Adrien having his amok, and thus having a journey of self discovery

- Marinette’s journey of learning how to set boundaries with friends

- A hopefully sensible plot structure

- DuPont the STEAM magnet school

- Side character exposition

- Gabriel as a doting parent

- And more
