We're an AU lead by two people combining Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Dinosaur Planet, Donkey Kong, and Yooka-Laylee into one universe with redesigns to match!
Mod Polar, he/him, works on rewriting Banjo. Main account polarpace
Mod Shadow, they/he, works on rewriting Conker. Main account conkerrewritten
Both mods work on the rest of the AU together.
in the earlier stages of rairverse, we really wanted a name for the planet that all the characters live on, but we didn't want anything that was a real word. we went on a random planet name generator and eventually got "rairu". we removed the u (since "rairu" is a word in japanese) and ended up with "rair"
so the name "rairverse" is meant to refer to the planet the characters live on, but since it's pronounced as "rareverse" it still evokes the idea that it's an AU with a bunch of rare characters. i hope that makes sense!
A year ago today, mod Shadow was inspired by a Conker stream to make an AU/rewrite of Conker’s Bad Fur Day on the blog @conkerrewritten
Not too much time later, mod Polar wanted to do the same for Banjo-Kazooie. Putting our minds together, we came up with Rairverse. And what a fun time that’s been!
It’s hard to believe a whole year has passed since we started on this project. We’ve come up with so many concepts and so much lore, it’s been hard to keep it to ourselves! Maybe that will change soon.
next up is timber from diddy kong racing! had a lot of fun designing this guy :)
in rairverse, he’s an easy-going tiger with a lot of friends. but he also has a lot of very high expectations for himself! i’ll leave it at that for now…

“One day, we’re gonna be heroes!”
“What are you on about, Conker?”
first rairverse art post from me!! and it’s a birthday gift for mod shadow :D i really love how conker’s design turned out and kid conker is so cute, so i wanted to draw a twelve tales type pic
Anyone remember the scratch out art from childhood? I remember I used to draw flowers with those. Anyway, I replicated it the best I could in Paint Tool SAI and doodled some head shots!
Not all of these characters have been revealed yet, so consider this a sneak peek!
