#BUT STILL HAD A BLAST DRAWING IT ALL AND CLOWNING WITH FRIENDS ABOUT THE AU GFKJGHG

[gemini526sdumptruck]

Megaman Sketch Dump (+ a concept)

I had a blast designing these guys the last time, so I decided to do it again!

While I was drawing these guys, I was doing so with the idea of making my own au/show/story concept thingy in the same vein as Ruby Spears or Fully Charged (mainly FC). I changed quite a few things to fit my story though.

To put it briefly, this story takes place in 20XX where humans and robots are still trying to coexist. It's mainly about Megaman (still deciding if I wanna call him Rock or Rick lol) and Roll. They live with Dr. Light and Rush, for the most part trying to come off as a normal family. Every episode (for lack of a better term), Dr. Wahwee (sorry couldn't resist) steals a random robot master and reprograms them for the purpose of destroying the city, leading Megaman (and sometimes Roll) to go out and stop the robot (or robots) and bring them back to normal. So it's kinda like a villain of the week type thing.

Not all the robots are created by Light or Wily. I was thinking some could still have been made by Light (for example all of the MM1 and PU bots), and a few could have still been made by Wily (like Heat Man). But some others are made by Cossack, and then everyone else is made by miscellaneous people.

Not all the robot masters are directly fought though. I imagine some of them are like side characters or background characters, just doing their jobs (in this case, that's represented by Cold Man).

It's a very simple concept, and it's still kinda in an early phase, but me and my friend thought it was fun.

I would like to also explain a few characters' designs here:

I wanted to make Top Man look slightly goofier and more like a toy, because that's what I think of first when I hear "top", so to hopefully reflect that, I gave him mannequin like features. He's a mascot for a toystore now! I see him as like the very hyperactive type who can come across as a little manic, but in his typical programming he just wants the customers to have a fun time. I imagine him and Clown Man are friends.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with Magnet Man's original design, but I mostly used him as an experiment. I wanted to create a new design for him based off how I would probably design a Magnet Man, and so this little guy was born. I wanted to incorporate different types of magnets into his design, like the classic U magnet, ball magnets, those rectangular magnets, and even those slab magnets. Not sure what he normally does though, I'll have to think on that.

Lastly, Heat Man, the only actually evil one here lol. I wanted to make at least one robot master a demonic gremlin, and Heat Man just kinda fit the bill for me (especially due to just how evil and crazy he looks in these pictures). Since he's a robot made by the villain of this "show", and since this concept is cheesy to begin with, I wanted to really show that he is in fact, evil. I even added like a Dr. Wily crossbones symbol on his left side. (also an extra bit of trivia I didn't get to show off in this sketch, imagine the bottom of his boots like they're mini stoves!)

Okay so I’ve been recently getting back into bnha, so uh me and @struckbyelectriclove​ have been clowning non-stop on a bnha au with our kids

So have exchange student, Eileen Ryder, AKA Lady Valor!

Eileen’s Quirk is called Power Hydra and is a combination of her father’s Twin Dragons quirk and her mother's Orb Healer quirk. Eileen’s quirk allows her to summon four different colored dragons out of her back that, depending on their color, can either send out powerful energy beams at foes to deal damage or heal her allies.

More Info on Elly’s quirk and the AU under the cut!

Her gold and red dragon’s deal damage while her blue and green one’s deal healing.

Although her quirk allows for more flexibility in the field since she acts as both a healer and a fighter, compared to her dad's dragons, they're only half as strong (it's theorized it's due to their small size in their natural state).

Eileen can make the dragons swell in size if she wills it but by doing so the harder they are to control and the greater the risk of her losing control over her quirk

When it comes to the healing part of Eileen’s quirk, the person she’s healing’s overall health and fitness, the extent of their injury and their blood type all factor in on how well she can heal them and how much energy is needed to heal them.

Because her quirk saps out her energy, she prefers to use her tail as a weapon and have her dragons just restrain the foe in their jaws. She likes to finish a fight as soon as possible in order to preserve more energy for the more dangerous foes she might face in the field in the case that there are multiple enemies.

Good at hand-to-hand combat and has a dagger hidden on her in case she can't use her quirk for whatever reason.

The scales on her dragon’s and her tail are very tough and help to minimize impact and can also be launched at will to create a devastating wide range attack but is a move Eileen can only use when in an open space in order to avoid accidentally hurting her allies so she rarely uses it.

When her quirk is not activated, it takes the form of a tattoo on her back.

Eileen actually has a pair of wings that come with her quirk but her right wing has sustained such heavy damage from a villain attack that it has rendered her unable to fly with them so she keeps them tucked away because of the trauma she endured.

All four of her dragons have a mind of her own and help her to spot an enemy's weak spot. Hearing her dragon's thoughts and seeing what they see was very disorienting in the beginning but she's gotten better at handling it.

The dragons also like to play with each other and the rest of her classmates when Elly is taking downtime or having a nap. They often play chess, cards or when Elly is napping in the dorm's living room, video games.

All four of them have names corresponding to the zodiac signs

The gold one is Ari (Aries), the red one Lee (Libra), the blue one Leo and the green one Capri (Capricorn)

Story facts:

Eileen comes from a family of heroes and was the only child of Edward and Julianna Ryder to receive a quirk that was a mutation of their own respective quirks. When she was nine, she and her sisters went to a newly built planetarium/museum in the area only for it to be attacked by villains and for the building to fall apart. 

Eileen awoke to find herself pinned under a metal beam and her sister Elaina trying desperately to lift it off. Elaina called out for Eliza to help her only to find her being stared down by a villain that looked like a wolf. Elaina bravely went against the villain despite being so young in order to buy her sisters time to escape but ultimately perished. 

Security footage later found out that the girl's older brother Jacob seemed to have helped in smuggling the villains in and even participating in the attack. The family received thousands of death threats and we're under intense scrutiny from the public. It got to the point that Edward was being pressured to resign as a hero but upon learning of this, Eileen bravely faced her dad’s higher-ups and struck a deal with them. She would train to become a powerful hero and become their pawn to use and her dad wouldn't need to give up his job as a hero and the rest of her family would be protected and be left alone. They accepted the deal and immediately put her through hellish training.

Years later, Eileen finds her brothers journal that revealed he had discovered something sinister happening at the hero school he went to in the country and urged Elly that if she somehow managed to find his journal and was currently reading it, to finish what he started and save the kids in that school from the inner villainy going on on its grounds. 

Elly somehow managed to convince her superiors to let her continue her training and education at the hero school her brother went to and immediately began her investigation.

Eventually finds out that the school is being used as a recruitment center for a group of highly wanted villains and that the principal and several other school staff are involved in it.

Works with several other students to expose the school's dark acts and is found out by the villains.

One of Eileen's friends are killed by the villain (I guess this AU’s equivalent to Rakepick) and torture Elly by destroying her right wing.

Eventually ends up having one last face off with the villain and is forced to kill them when they manage to break free of their restraints and begin to start charging up their quirk again to release a one last devastating attack that, if reached full charge, would kill every hero and civilian within the area. Eileen uses her dragons to launch herself and the villain straight into a pole, killing the villain upon impact but severely injuring Eileen.

After the battle, her and Kat  @struckbyelectriclove​) reveal to each other that they’re gonna be transferring to a new school and cry over it

Only to see each other at U.A High’s entrance and running into each other’s arms and ugly crying over it like the dumbasses they are LMAOOOO.

Kat and Eileen often team up and call themselves The Feral Duo.

Eileen’s Hero stats:

Power:  ★★★★★ 5/6 

Speed:  ★★★★ 4/6

Technique:  ★★★★★ 5/6

Intelligence:  ★★★★★ 5/6

Cooperativeness:  ★★★ 3/6

Sass:  ★★★★★★ 6/6

THERE’S HONESTLY A LOT MORE ME AND CHARLIE MADE FOR THIS AU INVOLVING OUR KIDS BECAUSE WE CLOWNED FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS STRAIGHT ABOUT IT BUT THAT’S THE GIST OF IT BASICALLY.

[fanfic] Fires of Home

Series: Reversal||Story: Fires of Home Characters: Asuka, Bewitching Phantom Thief||Ship: N/A Chapters: 1-1||Words: 2,154 Genre: Drama||Rated: PG Challenges: Diversity Writing Challenge, YGO GX, reversal AU, E3, 1-shot with no dividers Notes: Asuka will have more of a story later. This duel demanded to be told. Summary: Asuka has to survive a fight with Bewitching Phantom Thief.

Asuka wasn’t surprised to see the rocks rising out of the ground, each one faintly shimmering, the marks that denoted a circle of death on each one of them. Only one of them would step out of this circle alive: the winner of the duel.

Bewitching Phantom Thief smirked as he drew his cards, duel disk manifesting on his arm a heartbeat earlier. “Do you truly think you can win?”

“We’ll find out, won’t we?” Asuka drew her cards and squared up her shoulders. This was a fight to the death, but at the same time, it would keep the ghost here so he couldn’t track down Cyber Prima. If she could get to the others in time, pass on the information, then whatever happened to Asuka would be more than worth it.

Though if it came to it, she would gladly surrender the duel and accept her own death. Better that than all the rumors that she’d heard.

“The first turn’s mine!” Asuka declared, seeing what her cards had for her. Bewitching Phantom Thief only tilted his head and waited to see what she would do.

She wasted no time at all. “I activate Fusion! From my hand, I fuse Toilet Cyber and Blade Skater, to summon Cyber Blader! Turn end!” Her monster couldn’t attack this turn, but she would have a strong defense until then. There weren’t many monsters someone could summon on their first turn that would be able to crack the twenty-one hundred point attack.

But Bewitching Phantom Thief only took his turn with ease. “I summon Dream Pierrot. Do you know his effect?” Bewitching Phantom Thief admired the clown that appeared before him with a nearly gentle smile. Asuka did not trust it at all. “When it turns from attack to defense mode, a monster on your side of the field is destroyed. Oh, it seems that you only have one monster. How sad.”

Asuka’s shoulders tensed. This wouldn’t normally be a problem. But she refused to trust anyone who willingly served Haou.

“I play Earthquake, changing all monsters on the field to defense mode!” Not much of his mouth could be seen behind his cloak, but Asuka thought that he smiled. “Which means that my monster’s effect destroys yours.”

Energy slashed across the field as a low rumble rose, sending both monsters stumbling to the ground. Dream Pierrot knelt quickly, but the earth itself split underneath Cyber Blader, the fissure swallowing the warrior’s scream even as it swallowed her.

“This does mean I can’t attack this turn,” Bewitching Phantom Thief declared with a sigh. “But don’t worry. I’m not going to let you escape unharmed.” A card flicked between gloved fingers. “Fireball! Five hundred damage!”

From above there came a burning blast of fire that burned away the night, slamming hard into Asuka. She could not help the scream, falling several steps backward. It wasn’t much of a hit to her life points, but the tips of her hair singled and she quickly patted out the flames on her clothes.

“Now, I set one card, and end my turn. What do you have to stop me now?”

Asuka shook her head to clear it; the blaze’s pain faded after a few seconds. “Let’s see. I draw!”

Her deck wanted to help her. She’d always known that; she’d fought to gain their trust for years. So far it had worked very well. Now wasn’t an exception.

“I activate Machine Angel Ritual! Using Cyber Prima as the cost, I summon Cyber Angel Benten!”

Cyber Angel Benten, holding her fan in one hand, leaped into existence beside Asuka. Asuka spared a thought for Cyber Prima; it wouldn’t be the wise thing to try to summon her in this duel, not with her on the way to the next couriers, but using her for this would be all right.

“Cyber Angel Benten, attack his Dream Pierrot!” It wouldn’t cause any battle damage, but Benten’s monster effect would at least deliver a little damage. She could not help but eye that face-down card. She wanted to know what it was, and this would tell her that too. Some chances had to be taken.

No sooner had Cyber Angel Benten taken a single step but Bewitching Phantom Thief raised one hand to gesture to the set card. “Face-down, activate! Drain Shield!”

He needed say no more than that. She knew the card; she’d seen it played before. Not only would the battle be halted, but now Bewitching Phantom Thief’s life points grew by Cyber Angel Benten’s attack, giving him almost six thousand – five thousand eight hundred to be precise – life points.

Her lips pressed together. This wasn’t going very well. “I end my turn.”

Bewitching Phantom Thief definitely smiled now when he drew his new card. “Now I summon Apprentice Witch! She’s a very useful person to have on my field, since by her existence, she increases all the attacks of my Dark monsters by five hundred – that includes her, by the way. Sadly Dream Pierrot is an Earth monster and can’t take advantage of the effect.”

Asuka said nothing. She only waited, eyes resting on the new arrival, tall in robes of blue and a spill of red-gold hair. The thief wasn’t done yet.

“But Apprentice Witch’s effect also effects your monster – sort of. Not only does it increase the attack of Dark Monsters, but it reduces that of Light monsters by four hundred points. So your Cyber Angel Benten is now down to fourteen hundred points. That’s going to hurt, I’m sure.”

Asuka raised her head. “If you’re going to attack, then attack. Don’t keep on talking about it.”

That got a laugh. “One moment, please. I have one more card to play before I cause you pain. This one hurts me – I’m sure you’re ever so wounded because of this.”

That got Asuka rolling her eyes. Bewitching Phantom Thief raised up one card.

“This is Demonsblood Sacrifice. I target a monster in my hand, deck, or graveyard, and offer an amount of my life points equal to their attack in order to Special Summon them!”

Spikes shot outward from the card and slashed down across the thief’s chest, bright blood spattering all over. The thief didn’t move, or even seem to notice.

He was, after all, a ghost already.

“I can only target a Demon-Type monster by this effect and on the turn that they’re Special Summoned I cannot attack with them, and their attack is halved. On my next turn, of course, that will all be changed.” She could see the smile clearly now. “I summon Angmar the Demon Monarch!”

His life points fell by two thousand and four hundred, as the new monster rose up next to him. It stood tall and black armored, a fierce glare delivered across the field to Asuka, arms crossed over its chest. She stared back at it relentlessly.

Again he wasn’t done yet. “I really would like to attack right now. But I do intend to win this duel and that means I need to kill you. I would apologize but you’re trying to kill me, too.”

Asuka didn’t smile. If he would just get on with it, the better she’d like it.

“I equip Giant’s Might to your Cyber Angel Benten. Since your life points are lower than mine, the effect halves Benten’s attack points: putting them at six hundred and fifty.” He made a very sad noise that Asuka refused to believe for so much as a breath. “Now, you wanted me to attack? Very well. Apprentice Witch, take that eyesore of hers down.”

Apprentice Witch darted forward, pale pink wings spread outward as she shot across and struck Benten with her broom. Benten cried out briefly before exploding into shards of light and fading away. Asuka tensed; she knew what would come next.

“Dream Pierrot! Now that you’re in attack mode, strike!”

The clown blazed across and Asuka stumbled back, pain racing up and down her, her heart pounding, trying hard not to fall to her knees. She wasn’t gone yet. She needed to keep going.

“What’s this?” It wasn’t a voice that she completely recognized but it sounded a touch familiar; perhaps she’d heard it once or twice. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, her eyes focusing at last on two figures standing outside the circle.

“Looks like a member of the resistance fighting against one of Haou’s army,” the other said. Asuka rubbed her eyes again and focused.

Two warrior women, both in full armor, and now that she saw them, she knew their cards.

“Tactical Warrior. Valkyrie Knight.”

Both nodded towards her. “A greeting, warrior,” Tactical Warrior said, voice calm and welcoming. “Should you win this battle, we feel that you should know that your companion succeeded in her errand.”

Tension flowed out of Asuka as if it had never been there to begin with. She drew herself up a breath later. This didn’t mean that she could back down. She needed to get out of here, just to see Cyber Prima again, and all of those friends of hers as well.

“We’ll escort you if you like,” Valkyrie Knight offered. “But do finish this first.”

Bewitching Phantom Thief’s eyes narrowed towards them. “Those who stand against Haou-sama do not often live to regret their choices.”

“You aren’t going to live to let him know,” Asuka snapped. “I’m your opponent. You pay attention to me.”

She had one card to draw, one that might tilt the balance of the duel. She smiled when she looked at it.

“First, I play Monster Reborn, recalling Cyber Blader from the graveyard!” Asuka grinned as her favorite monster leaped up before her, ready and willing to strike once again. “But the graveyard’s still on my side tonight! I play Fulfillment of the Contract, paying eight hundred life points to Special Summon Cyber Angel Benten!”

Bewitching Phantom Thief tilted his head a fraction. “Why? Benten will still be affected by Apprentice Witch’s effect. Neither of your monsters can touch my Angmar, either.”

“Watch this.” Asuka did not hold back the grin that split her features. “Cyber Angel Benten, attack Apprentice Witch and get rid of her!”

Without Giant’s Might’s effect, Cyber Angel Benten being at fourteen hundred attack was still more than enough to finish Apprentice Witch off. Asuka covered her eyes for a second, then kept on with her next move.

“You’ve only got two monsters now: and that means Cyber Blader’s second effect takes over now! Her attack is doubled, more than enough to finish Angmar! Do it, Cyber Blader!”

Again her monster shot across and there wasn’t a chance for Angmar to do anything, the explosion knocking Bewitching Phantom Thief backwards a half a dozen places. Both watching knights nodded in approval, as Asuka tried to get her breath back. She didn’t have enough to be able to finish him off, unfortunately. Not right now.

The ghost recovered himself. All of the false amusement vanished now. He yanked one card from his deck and bit the words off.

“I tribute Clown Pierrot to call forth Demon’s Summoner!” The creature that appeared now roared menacingly, tail lashing, horns sharp and tilted, perhaps a full seven feet tall, and wielded a skull-tipped staff. “Demon’s Summoner, destroy Cyber Angel Benten!”

A good choice; it would do more damage. Asuka could appreciate it even as she fell backwards, dark energy wrapping around her monster before she exploded. Now she had just five hundred points – so unless she could finish it on this turn of hers, it would all be over with for her.

She glanced at the deck. Let’s do this. Win or lose, live or die.

She raised her eyes to where the two knights watched. She knew little about them, but their fire, their warmth, drew her. She wanted to know more. Which meant she had to survive through this.

Asuka drew the card. “Pot of Greed,” she murmured, before drawing two more. Then she smiled the most relieved smile of her entire life – or at least of this duel. “First, I play Fusion Recovery – I regain Fusion from my graveyard, and one of the monsters that I used for a Fusion Summon. In this case, Blade Skater. Also: I equip Cyber Blader with Fusion Weapon, increasing her attack by fifteen hundred.”

She stared at Bewitching Phantom Thief. “Cyber Blader, Glissade Slash! Blade Skater, Accel Slicer!”

Spinning around one another, Cyber Blader and Blade Skater slashed into Bewitching Phantom Thief, slamming him into the surrounding stones as the last of his life points drained away.

When Asuka found herself capable of looking up again, she was on her knees, almost all of her energy drained. Command Knight and Valkyrie Knight stood before her, hands held outward.

“I’m Shula. This is Larunda. Come on,” Valkyrie Knight said. “Let’s go.”

She reached and took their hands, and the fire welcomed her home.

The End

Notes: I really love having Asuka meet fire-based warriors. I have Plans. Not just here but for other universes as well. Hell’s Ice!Asuka is going to be fun with this. So will Firestarter!Asuka.
