#Alterwolf Curse AU

[your-local-lakewood-dragoness]

Totally not thinking of coming up with an (alive) Alterwolf character that has history with Lupus and has animosity against him whatsoever

And what pronouns to give said character

.

.

*nervously taps fingers together* ....... Mind helping a dragon girl out making this character?

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

worst of luck to you in your crappy endeavors Lupus. if you only tried something else like... making a nice meal from your home planet or literally anything else than the same old jerkwaddery because you can't handle others being themselves in your vicinity. you're not the only one in all of existence, hide and fight as you may, you can't change it. and even if you somehow did it... you'd hate the silence far more than the noise.

[Good time to play the "wah-wah-waaaaah" horn for Lupus as he has just a heck of a great time absolutely!!]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

...hol up are we alright to stay?

I... I-I dunno...

––––

Atlas' Carol: Why are you worrying and so stressed about yourselves after today all of a sudden? You didn't come with KO to therapy today, now did you? You're more than welcome to either keep him company or leave him be. Although... [She places the dishes of spaghetti on their respective spots. And has definitely noticed KO with a dejected look upon sitting down, staring down at his food.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

wash up buckaroo, you'll feel a bit better once you eat

[KO does exactly that, scrubbing and then washing for 20 seconds before using his elbow to shut off the water. He then dries his hands and heads over to the dining table.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

*munching on popcorn or rather just shoving it into my face for effect while Lupus gets whooped ten ways from sunday*

I will—!

[*SLAM.*]

Get you back—!

[*SLAM.*]

For this!!

[*SLAMMY SLAM SLAM.*]

SOMEHOW!!!!

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

as if. you always have to save yourself first. but this time you can't even do that.

[Once again, he is unable to respond now due to Buff Anon continuing to mercilessly beat Lupus senseless.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

BUFF ANON: *in a moment they're right up in Lupus's face* You really should listen to yourself. You call the failure of others your success. HAH! *their laugh rattles the mind* How sad. *they grab Lupus's leg, sweeping him off his feet in an instant, and holding them upside down* And who said anything about breaking you, figuratively? I said and I mean: I am going. To BREAK you. Straight up. *they raise and slam Lupus into the ground repeatedly* *again and again and again*

[Lupus startles, and instinctively and ferociously hisses at Buff Anon. He goes to attack again, but his leg is snatched up. Then he proceeds to get thrown around like a helpless rag doll.]

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

and the worlds continue to turn without you. how superior do you think you are? life goes on. people don't remember you.

Trust me. Anyone I come across and meet with at first sight and talk remember me plenty.

Keep talking like that and I'll ensure you get a great dose of "KEEP OUT".

[He glares and reverses the damage done to his claws.] Consider this your last warning.

Wrong. I'm their savior.

Now let's make this quick.

One...

Two...

Thr—

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

BUFF ANON: *slowly walking yet using that strange effect that lets them be heard from everywhere* What no response? No bite? No bark? *it sounds like a whisper right in Lupus's ear* ...You're not living up to the legend. Though... It's not long before it becomes mere myth.

[He growls. After untangling his tendrils free, he yells at them.] You're words are pointless if you pathetically and pointlessly think you can figuratively break me! I WILL continue to relive my prime through the body of this child! And I WILL continue to get what I want— much alike earlier today!!

[ask-alterwolf-curseko]

you lay your claws on people all the time... you think you're the only one deserving of personal space? too bad!

I will never give whatever you demand.

Go.

Away.

Alright! Time for Alterwolf Imprisonment/Curse AU fun facts!

Read the original AU post here

Alright now:

• When in human form, if Lupus feels the need to talk trash at anyone, whatever's on his mind, he takes control of KO via possession.

Like:

• Even when KO is in Alterwolf form, Lupus does his same taking control thing to communicate, only except he changes the chest orb on him from purple to an amber-like orange.

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

• When Lupus was alive, back on his home planet, he was quite infamous for similar destruction and killing of innocents akin to what TKO had committed on the day he disempowered/eradicated the people on Earth. Only difference is, the former wasn't given a chance to reverse his, and was ultimately executed by a being of higher power. In other words, a deity of sorts. (He refuses to say who specifically. He's had a grudge on these beings since his death.)

• Lupus tends to become extremely offended when called a werewolf... or lycan/lycanthrope. The mainstream type of modern (infect people to become one themselves and THEN full moon/nighttime transformation through bite/scratch) werewolves you would see in shows/movies/books, etc.

Time to talk a bit about his species physiology:

• Since Lupus (and if you wanna consider also KO, by extension) is an Alterwolf, basically all of them happen to share this innate ability of healing. So the more an Alterwolf takes damage, the faster they can heal. However, it has a limit of being effective for two/three-ish hours. It then takes this chance to retreat to a secluded spot and recuperate until getting back all refreshed.

But… this common power isn't without some drawbacks/weaknesses.

~ His healing prowess is nothing like a deity's. Far from the latter's immediate, superior and miraculous recovery. It may be decent for a mortal alien civilization that lives hundreds of years, but still. You get my point.

~ Essentially for someone with non-deity healing abilities, what they do to activate it is focus on the injury they want to heal. Again, it's not perfect. That can wind up being their demise at times. Should an Alterwolf get excessively wounded enough, it wouldn't correctly work in such an instance. The Alterwolf would begin to die before getting a proper chance to heal.

One too many injuries aren't even life saving enough with that level of severity.

Makes you wonder if that's how Lupus was killed……

Shhhh!!!! 🤫

[your-local-lakewood-dragoness]

Y'know how everyone has one of those werewolf AUs, right?

Well, I have decided to do that too! For OK KO! But: what I'm doing with it is, to me, a really neat... unique take on said werewolf AU theme, but it's involves an alien creature that's sorta reminiscent of one but also not. I... don't... know. Just lemme set up the newest AU this way:

The premise of it takes place just moments after KO has merged and awakes to find out he eradicated everyone. (Very akin to the actual scene itself) The P.O.T.U. is there for the wish stuff. Wishing everyone to life remains the same, everyone else living their best life..... except him. After what this KO has pulled, the atrocities he committed, the powers he completely stripped people of, the lives he took. After causing this much damage when he was TKO.... he feels he doesn't deserve to be called a hero after everything. He's not careful with the word choice for his part. So a monster (what he calls himself) like him deserves a wish that would for sure punish him for his crimes. So he makes it, and there's this spirit/ghost of an alien werewolf species, called an Alterwolf. It ambushes him, when KO least expects it, and eventually makes itself at home in his head.

As sad as this sounds, KO in this AU believes he deserves a penalty for this. Cause... the stuff that went on in "Let's Fight to The End."

----------

The Alterwolf ghost, who goes by the name Lupus, responds to KO by afflicting him with a horrible curse: at every full moon night, he involuntarily becomes the same aforementioned werewolf-like alien creature, with very little self-control, but KO is aware of what the spirit forces him to do, but doesn't bother to intervene. He runs rampant at these nights, terrorizing the people he faced at the tournament itself.

-----

As few years go by, and he becomes a little older, (present day in the year this AU takes place; he's a teenager by then) he reluctantly tries to speak with the possessor and build a decent relationship with him, but one additional transformation trigger surfaces during this period: The second trigger would have no full moon involved, and for this- changes when he is caught in a situation that really threatens/endangers him. This occurs in reaction to said danger-- a boost in adrenaline.

Designs/about the characters:

This is him when he was alive ^^^^^^^^^^

And this him now... ^^^^^^^^^^

And Lupus is the ghost of a 600+ year old Alterwolf that might have some issues coming to terms with his destructive/potentially murderous tendencies.

This extraterrestrial mangy mutt is known to be these from his personality: Vindictive, sarcastic, fairly sadistic (if pushed far enough), fondness for making dark jokes/commentary, thirsty for moonlight, monstrous habits, lashing out at people he considers annoyances, believes killing/murder isn't much to make a fuss about, violent and sometimes-- when he doesn't admit it openly-- on occasion... protective.

From what you can guess, KO absolutely hates those full moon nights where he's forced by him to change this way. And yes.....

He's as hairy as you imagine him to be in that form. So here:

This was him at the emotionally fragile, ripe age of 6 - 11. (And just a mere three inches taller when he looks this way.)

Doesn't really make it better he's been stuck with this curse for a couple years now.

Yes. You read right. No need to get your eyes checked. It's been that long.

This is him-- now.

To lighten the overwhelming Alterwolf symptoms, KO wears patches Dendy was more than welcome to make to him, (he started using them 2 weeks after reaching his teen years officially) stating what it says in his design picture.

But only is he allowed to wear them and keep it on the week preceding AND during the week of that full moon night. (But that doesn't mean it's effective in any way if he feels that adrenaline rush.)

When that week does approach closer however, he gets this circular light that would progressively glow brighter on his chest--

--until that night comes, and it fully emerges as an orb embedded on it.

Then it looks like this:

Now these days he has a more stronger, and maybe a tad more taller appearance whenever exposed to both things.

Look at that... And take a peak at how big he gets. I mean, wow.

_-_-_-_

I think that's it for the important stuff. So here's some fun facts you should probably know! In the next post because a single one per post only allows 10 apparently. 😑

Let's go over the rules of the ask blog

((If you wanna about the AU in general then go read this here. Heck, maybe even type in the tag "alterwolf imprisonment/curse au" if you'd like! It's all on my OK KO centric sideblog! Also, this KO is post-canon/post merge, as evident by his TKO snaggletooth and magenta wristbands and sweatbands))

Before sending in your asks, please be sure to read these important rules:

1. Don’t be asking stuff that are way too uncomfortable NSFW territory, for this KO. Even though the version of this KO is a teenager, at 13-17 years old, he is still considered a child after all! So keep it at least PG-13 at most. Treat him like you would with any teen boy.

2. Shipping doesn’t really have involvement, sorry!

3. This particular blog is therapy carpool canon only. Don't worry, I'll label it in the tags.

4. Not the post for RPs and all that… but it probably wouldn’t hurt to ask.

5. He has a right to delete any ask that happens to make him uncomfortable. (Except Lupus, he deserves the most hard time.)

6. Any harassment, hate and bullying of all sorts is NOT tolerated. (Lupus is the sole exception for this, so he doesn't apply to this rule)

7. Lastly have some fun with this, and thank you!
