#'why is gustava lorican' bc i need her. carnally. next question

[rvby]

ok VERY tentative VERY subject to change loose outline for t0/mgs au

Ok. Let’s start this as a web. Concordian Joy who defects to become the White Tiger Secundus l’Cie.

Goes back even further. Rubrumite-Concordian alliance Cobras. Rubrumite Sorrow, End, and Fury. Concordian Pain and Fear. Concordian-Rubrumite Ocelot who was raised Concordian and acts to be in Milites’s favor but secretly supports the Rubrumite effort from the previous alliance.

Concordian Eva who was planted by Lorica, only to be cast out from both nations after failing to get the Philosopher’s Legacy.

Rubrumite-raised Lorican-Rubrumite Big Boss who was devastated by the Boss’s betrayal at the swapped alliance and is tasked to take down the l’Cie.

White Tiger Primus l’Cie Volgin (Concordia and Milites are allied here) who in failing to procure the Philosopher’s Legacy turns Cie’th (Man of Fire).

Because Joy crystallizes in dying to Big Boss, it leaves everyone in shambles. What do you MEAN—

Against all odds, Cipher/the Patriots ends up Militesi. With Zero as the Primus l’Cie.

Rubrumite Campbell… Concordian refugee Frank who was saved once by Big Boss only to end up in Militesi hands. Brought back to serve under the Rubrumite banner. Can’t find it in him to kill this Lorican child so he brings her back to Rubrum as well.

Concordian Kaz who loses to Rubrumite Big Boss and together they settle outside of the Crystals’ nations to form a Crystal-less nation (collecting stragglers and deserters and defectors lol). Rubrumite Strangelove with Concordian Joy. “Ex”-Militesi Huey is making me crazy conceptually though sorry.

Ok I’m skipping mgsv bc I don’t CAREEEEEEE pure Lorican Venom Snake who claims he’s been abandoned by the Vermillion Bird Crystal when in reality he was never linked to it. Militesi Quiet. Concordian Kaz. Concordian-Rubrumite Ocelot. Working as an independent unit under the greater banner of Rubrum. Discovered by Militesi-raised Liquid who is fucking PISSEDDDDD and Rubrumite Mantis who looks at Ocelot like :tbh:.

Oh my god. Lorican Gustava who’s trying to move to Rubrum with Frank and Naomi but gets rejected as a non-refugee. Forced into the Lorican draft in the end.

Big Boss leaves the Diamond Dogs under V’s care while he fucks off to the Lorica-Rubrum border to establish FOXHOUND under Rubrum.

Lorican-raised Snavid who’s brought into FOXHOUND, finds out he’s being trained under two Concordians but you know what, he doesn’t have time for questions when both of them are kicking his ass personally despite not being Lorican. Think of it like the Milites-Rubrum student transfer program and Lean, but for Lorica and Rubrum. And of course, Big Boss, in this time, becomes the Vermillion Bird Crystal’s Primus l’Cie.

As the l’Cie, wants Rubrum to split the Lorica-Rubrum alliance. Has V pose as swapping to work with Milites on Metal Gear. No better way to split an alliance than to betray and attack them. FOXHOUND sent to deal with it—Fox can’t kill V, not knowing it’s not Big Boss. Snavid sent in to rescue Fox and kill V. Temporarily slows the transition of alliance, but Snavid, who left thinking Big Boss crystallized, doesn’t realize he didn’t. Lorican Snavid is left alone.

Fox is left haunted and confused at Big Boss’s decision to betray Lorica, tearing down the peace-through-war he thought they were trying to achieve. But Big Boss finds him and explains it’s the Crystal’s directive and he agrees to help.

With Fox by his side, sets up a proper alliance between Milites and Rubrum to advance the magitek/magic hybrid Metal Gears, with full intention to storm Lorica and then Concordia with them. Well. Lorican-raised Snavid will not let that happen. More importantly, FOXHOUND, which was a mix of Loricans and Rubrumites, disapproves of the change in alliance, and remains its own mixed sect. With Gustava’s (and Fox’s) help, he does destroy the currently made Metal Gear and makes sure Big Boss crystallizes this time. In doing this, the Milites-Rubrum alliance fizzles, and all 4 nations are split again.

Fox is recovered by Militesi forces (the Patriots) and Para Medic uses him as an experiment in hybridizing humans and magitek in order to make them capable of using “magic”. Rescued by his sister in a covert mission, he manages to kill her, but not without being permanently fused with the magitek she was testing on him. FOXHOUND, now without Big Boss, caught between two split nations, declares itself an independent nation akin to MSF back in the day. Milites-raised Lorican-Rubrumite Liquid, Rubrumite Mantis, Concordian-raised Concordian-Lorican Raven, Militesi Octopus, Concordian Wolf, and ofc, Concordian-Rubrumite Ocelot. White Tiger Secundus l’Cie Liquid.

FOXHOUND, under Liquid’s directive, aims to recover the Militesi magitek of Metal Gears, intending to use it to re-establish itself at the top of Milites’s military command, using its basis in a multi-national group to incentivize their belief in cooperation to conquer all nations.

With this major new threat posited at all four nations, incl. Milites as many disagree with the idea of mass cooperation in weaponry. They group together to stop the resurgent FOXHOUND, ft. Militesi Nastasha, Rubrumite Mei Ling, Lorican Naomi, Rubrumite Campbell, Rubrumite Meryl. The primary researcher working on Metal Gear Rex is the Militesi Otacon. He believed he was making a new model of Magitek Armor, not realizing they wanted to try to infuse it with magic. At the same time, Gray Fox was getting used in the background as an obstacle to Snake by Naomi and Liquid both as he, in his experimented insanity, begs to fight Snake to the death. Burdened by electricity magic he can’t properly control which constantly backfires on him. They expected him to keep to the standards he’s had for the past few years in his identityless state, but instead, upon seeing Snake again, he gains a semblance of sanity and turns on Liquid to aid him before dying.

Liquid, upon failing the White Tiger Crystal, turns Cie’th upon defeat. Snake has to put him out of his misery.
