The assigned/reassigned species for a branch off of my TD Magic AU!

This specific AU is about a group of immortals that opened a woodland pocket dimension, and built a camp for those who have no where else to go, a sanctuary.

Humans are quite irrelevant in this AU, except Zoey, so anyone who was human in my main Magic AU has had their species changed. In fact, humans are quite horrible in this AU, hunting down anyone who is not like them.

Most of the characters species were kept the same though.

Anyways, here are the assigned species.

-

-

Hey Artzy. Srry I haven’t talking. I just wanted how you were doing? And concerning the Class of Heroes and Villains AU, what would the recess look like in both of these AUs? Take your time.

First, I’m doing alright, thanks for asking

Second… They are technically already based on Disney characters, but…

DJ: Collector/Bill Cipher

Spinelli: Anne Bunchoy/Magica De Spell

Victoria: Lighting McQueen (Automobile hybrid)/King Magnifico

Gia: Sergeant Calhoun/Shego

Mindy: Sully/Sarah Sanderson

Gerard: EVE/Dr. Doofenshmirtz (The other villains can’t believe how many backstories he has)

Rochelle: Cloppin/Lucifer (Cat hybrid)

Mason: Perry the Platypus/Emperor Belos

Lotta: Launchpad McQuack/Peg Leg Pete

Kendra: Alice/Kaa (Naga)

@msweebyness @imsparky2002, what do you think?

[wakebymoonsleepbysun]

One thing I've come to appreciate about DCA AUs is that justifying them being named Sun and Moon is EASY PEASY. (I say this with no shade btw.) Cuz no matter how you creature-ify them Sun will pretty much always have some kind of "rays" and Moon will always have some kind of moon marking. So of COURSE they are Sun and Moon. I feel like the only time when those names sound weird is if they're contemporary humans but like...merfolk? Clearly Sun and Moon. Fae? Clearly Sun and Moon. Dragons? Nagas? Sapient floating masks? Clearly Sun and Moon.

But DJ, Music Man, and Lil' Music Man? Why would a fantasy spiderfolk be named DJ? Why would an octomer be named Music Man? Why would an orphaned lesser spiderling be named Lil' Music Man?

Is it better to come up with new names that fit the setting better? (Changing DJ to Deeyjay) Write the narrative around the names by coming up with a backstory for their odd names? (Maybe the orphaned spiderling was part of a circus for a bit and Lil' Music Man as the name of the act so now they go by the nickname Lil' M) Or just straight up change the names to something else entirely?

The Fresh Prince of Naga-loka

Now, this is a story of someone great

Of an epic, royal, cool half-snake

And I'll dive right in

You're gonna get soaked

I'll tell you how I became the prince of the land of Naga-loka

Aiden: Rudy, what are you doing? This is so cringe!

Aru: I know right? XD Brynne, whatever you do, don't stop the beat!

*Brynne the DJ gives a thumbs up*

In the Underwater Kingdom born and raised

The Coral Garden's where I spent most of my days

Livin in luxury, swimmin in mah pool

And making mah music with mah magic jewels

When a couple of nags who just had a bad week

Started calling me a colorblind freak

I got in one little fight and my dad took a stern tone

He said, "You're movin' with your Grandpa 'til you're ready for the throne"

I begged and pleaded with him to let me stay

But mom packed my bags and sent me on my way

She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my shades

Then dad said, "You're gonna make a fine ruler someday"

Aiden: Ok, I'll admit, that part was pretty sad.

Aru: Yeah, ngl, his childhood was pretty rough for a rich kid

Meeting Gramps, yo this is bad

Burns and scars all over like a nuclear blast

Is this what the people of Naga-loka living like?

This just gave me one thought, YIKES

But wait, I hear they're judgy, snobs, all that

Is this the type of place to just give me the welcome mat?

No idea

I'll just go for broke

I hope they're prepared for the prince of Naga-loka

Aiden: I had no idea he was this scared when he first-

Aru: Shh, Wifey I think this is where we come in!

One day, in the library, I heard someone shout

There was a chick dressed like Spidey fighting gramps with a pout

I knew I just got here, but gramps was a jerk

And was that the chick who kissed a pole when I winked with a smirk?!?

I threw a bhangra rock, didn't even think

Without a clue of the adventures I was gonna head in

I even got to move in with my emo cuzzy

And now I've got a queen out here making me feel fuzzy

Aiden: Is Mini wearing a crown made of black snakes?

Nikita: They custom-ordered it. Took me forever to find enough obsidian, but it was worth it.

Aru: Shh, big finish!

I pulled up to the war with an army of snakes

And I yelled to the Sleeper, "Yo holmes, smell ya late"

Now look at my kingdom

This ain't no joke

To sit on my throne as the prince of Naga-loka

Aiden: Now we just have to wait for him to go on stage and smack someone in the face.

Aru: Only if they insult Mini first

Chapter Four

The music pulses through the cold London air as Rey wraps her coat further around herself as she knocks on the side door of AXS. She bites her lip as another cold blast hits her. She did the right knock sequence, what is taking them so long? She can feel her anger rising as she waits. Patience, she tells herself, they will know if she is unbalanced and if so will turn her away. She takes a deep breath of the icy air.

The door rattles and a peep hole opens, a bold yellow eye staring her down suspiciously. She immediately knows he’s a Naga. Her mind goes back to her training. Nagas are shape shifters; extremely intelligent, strong as hell and some depending on origin have telepathic abilities. She takes another breath and clears her mind.

She hears him hiss lowly followed by “Pleasure or Business?”. “Baal” she says flatly. She sees him blink and shut the peephole. She subconsciously checks her holsters as the door unlocks, her heart rate calming knowing she is protected at least for a little while.

The door opens, a scaly clawed hand holding it open. She keeps her eyes down as a sign of respect. “Upss the stairs and to the left. He will be with you shortly” he hisses. She nods and walks as confidently as she can up the club’s dark stairs. Reaching the top of the stairs, she takes in the scene around her.

The two levels of the club are dark and crowded, lit only by the party lights and lasers synchronized to the deep metal techno beat. She can see the lights reflecting off the curled horns of the Satyr DJ on the platform in the middle of the room. The dueling bars on either side are also packed. She schools her features as she watches humans and creatures drinking and dancing.

Not so long ago, this mingling would have been seen as an abomination. But she, like many Hunters, agree with the recent changes and exposure of the Supernatural community to the public. The Order has been working with The Council, the Supernatural Governing body and are promoting peace and respect between the races. Long gone were the days where they were used as exterminators of those different from them. The old ideas of separation clearly showed to only breed hate and violence.

She looks to the left and can see multiple men sitting around in Baal’s VIP lounge. She can see him laugh, his long hair swaying as he moves but she can’t hear it. She turns her head slightly, her eye catching the tell tale shimmer of a charm surrounding the area. Ah makes sense then.

She decides to grab a drink while she waits. She slips through the crowd, her tall but slight form a benefit. She can feel eyes on her from multiple people. She keeps her face neutral as she makes it up to the bar.

Sliding onto a bar stool, she looks back at the VIP lounge. There is a tall man now standing pointing his finger aggressively at a smirking Baal. “Hey beautiful, what would you like?” a silky voice says. She looks over to a stunning white haired nymph. Her eyes widen as the nymph smiles at her coyly. “Been here before? You seem a bit overwhelmed” she says, pouring a shimmering blue drink into a martini glass.

“She’s fine, Ellwyn. She’s with me, stop glamouring her” an annoyingly familiar voice says behind her. She watches the nymph scoff as Poe sits down next to Rey. Poe is one of the older Hunters on the Investigative team. His arrogance always rubbed Rey the wrong way. It didn’t help that he always had an eye for her and the other female Hunters that always made her slightly uncomfortable.

She shakes her head, feeling the magick recede. She scowls at the both of them, frustrated with herself. “Is she with you professionally or romantically Poe? Because I think we could talk her into a little fun” she says, swaying her hips. This time she can feel the tendrils of her magick tickling at her baby hairs.

She seals her mind, shutting her off. “Professionally only” she says sternly “and I must say, it’s very unprofessional to glamour your customers without their consent.” She watches the nymph pale a little as she steps back, her sky blue eyes focused on the pin on her label. “My apologies, I didn’t know who you were. Let me get you something on the house” she says, scampering away to the other side of the bar.

Rey turns and scowls at Poe. “First off what the hell was that and two why are you here? Are you tailing me?” she says angrily, her cheeks burning. She sees Poe smirk as he swipes the drink in front of her, taking a big sip. “Well, I am here for pleasure but I think without me you would have fallen for one of Baal’s little decoys. He does it to see if you're really here for business” he says, winking at her.

She growls, further frustrated with herself. This was not how she wanted this to go. She stands and pushes herself off the stool, leaving a laughing Poe behind. “Be careful Rey” he calls “there’s more where that came from so be aware.” She nods and turns into the crowd, making herself focus on the energies of the room.

While she was trained to focus and separate energies for the purpose of hunting, the energy here is unique. It swirls around her with the beat of the music, melding into its own entity. She looks over to evaluate Baal. He is alone and looking at her, smiling viciously. Finally.

She turns and slams right into a man’s hard chest. “Oh my I am so sor…” she stammers, her words dying in her throat as she looks up. The man is gorgeous. His dark hair and eyes play off his pale beauty marked skin. The lights of the club dance off him, but she can tell he’s big and solid under his dark suit. The magick coming off of him is intoxicating, sucking her in even more.

He holds her stare far longer than appropriate as he side steps her, nodding his head slightly as he is swallowed up by the crowd. She turns her head, wanting another taste of his seductively dark signature. For some reason she wants him to look at her again. She wants to dive into those captivating eyes and never surface.

She barely feels Baal’s magick beckoning her to join him until she hears his voice in her head. Her cheeks burn as she turns and heads towards him. He laughs lowly as she steps into his space.

His appearance is otherworldly. His ash colored skin is offset by his bold black and red eyes. He twirls his long hair around a dark talon as he lounges on a chaise lounge like a some diety. She nods respectfully awaiting his cue. “Sit Reyna” he says, his long arm motioning to his left. His voice is low and hypnotic, full of unnatural power.

He shifts as he focuses his dark eyes on her. She can feel his influence radiating off him. She takes a breath, sealing her mental walls. “Thank you for allowing me to speak with you, I really appreciate it” she says. He chuckles again as he magicks two drinks onto the table in front of her.

“The pleasure is mine” he purrs, grabbing a glass “I was wondering when The Order’s most up and coming Hunter would grace me with her…alluring presence.” A sly smile gracing his sharp features as she feels his energy surround her. She stiffens as she feels the tendrils of his magick caressing her form, toying with the laces of her jacket. She must keep strong, show she is worthy. Then and only then, she will get what she came for.

“I am looking into a couple disappearances and I along with The Order are concerned this may be a larger situation” she says, her eyes narrowing on him. He hums and licks his dark full lips. “I must ask why do you think I would know anything about this?” he says over his drink. She fights rolling her eyes at his coyness. “If I understand anything about the Supernatural community, you holding one of The Council seats as well as being Head Seer makes you pretty privy to new information that could be beneficial” she says, folding her arms across her chest.

He smiles widely, showing her his fangs. She feels his magick recede as one lone tendril caresses her jaw before going back to its master. “I see you growing a formidable warrior Reyna” he says, his eyes blacking out. “Trust your instincts for our world is in danger. The darkness is rising and will overflow with 12 and 1. The one comes for you but not for the reasons you think. Be careful of your alliances for some are false. You must accept yourself or The Order will fall.”

She nods, memorizing Baal’s words. She knows she is very lucky to receive information directly from Europe’s top Supernatural but now she has to break it down and understand what it means. She watches his eyes return to normal with a saucy mischievous smirk. “Thank you for your time” she says while taking a small sip of the drink before her. “He’s here by the way” he says, magicking himself a refill. She freezes, staring at him again.

“What?” she whispers. He laughs again, waving his hand at the packed club. “Both are here right now actually. The one who seeks you and the one who wishes you and The Order gone” he says, sipping his new drink. She feels her heart rate increase in excitement.

“Go and mind my warning little Hunter. Our world and The Order are in danger of being swallowed up by darkness again. Use your instincts and trust yourself” he says ominously as he dismisses her with a flourish of his dark hand. She bows her head again as she exits the lounge, her mind and body primed and ready for the Hunt.

I've let the girls know to let the gator have his peace... For now. Won't stop me from dropping buckets of green glitter in the greenroom of his. Anyway, yeah I'd love to meet him!

*DJ chuckled. After a few minutes, there was an odd hissing sound.*

DJ! My old friend! And who are you?

*The naga, Sebastian, circled Comet.*

Why, you're a beauty I've never seen... tell me, love, what's your name?

*He stopped in front of her, his tail curling up under him. His black scales glimmered with golds and greys mixed in. The scales went up his torso, disappearing under his turtleneck. There was a slight British accent in his voice, just enough to notice.*

[kinderartifact4]

First post on my Magic AU! Someone was interested in it, so, before I start on answering that ask I thought I’d post the species I’ve assigned to the characters for now. Just the hosts, gen 1 cast, and Emma & Kitty for now. Quite a few of them don’t have additional info because I couldn’t think of anything significant.

Questions? Comments? Concerns?

-

-

-

Chris & Chef- Humans

+Chris still hosts TD

+They’re both pretty much the exact same

+Chris is a little bit nicer though

Blaineley- Human

Don- Human

Josh- Human

Noah- Angel

+Burrowing Owl Wings

+Mage (very skilled in magic)

+Telekinetic

+Dated Cody after WT, but he broke it off due to religious backlash.

+He knows how to speak demon

Cody- Ajror Demon

+Blue Jay Wings

+Genetic magic, like all demons

+Deathly afraid of Driders, specifically the giant variety, so Phobia Factor definitely plays out differently for him

+He got the Cone of Shame during World Tour

+The whole “mauled by a bear” thing happens a bit differently; that bear was also fighting for it’s life, it was an equal opportunity mauling

+Tried so hard to court Noah during action and WT, but he didn’t do so well because he tried to be somewhat subtle this time around but Noah didn’t know what demon courting customs looked like so it flew right over his head.

+Cody was the one who kickstarted the revolution that lead to the war.

+His mother’s side of the family is Ajror nobility, so by default Cody is also nobility.

Emma & Kitty- Angels

+Magpie Wings

+Emma knows how to use a sword

+Kitty knows basic healing magic

+Emma and Jake’s break up played out differently in this AU

+To put it short, he was a specist prick who made it very clear he thought Emma looked better without her wings (for context, an Angel without their wings looks exactly like a human)

+Emma definitely still had her own flaws, but still

Eva- Satyr

Izzy- Halfbreed

+3/4 Demon, 1/4 Naga

+Tokë Demon(plant variety)

+One thing she got from being part Naga is her sense of smell; she can track people kinda like a bloodhound

Heather- Drider

+Magical knowledge is limited to making herself look more human

+Glamour magic, if you will

+Wild-Born

+She basically domesticated herself

+Type of venom is non-lethal, aka paralyzing

+She HAD siblings when she was little

Alejandro- Human

+Doesn’t have magic during the show, but discovers he has a magic ability known as “leeching” during the war

Sierra- Human

Duncan- Neko

+Lives up to his species ‘thief’ stereotype

+Really good at what he does too

Gwen- Naga

+Wild-Born

+Still claustrophobic, which is ironic because wild nagas typically live in burrows

+Uses glamour magic to make herself look more human

Owen- Naga

+Not Wild-Born

+Uses glamour magic

Trent- Mer

+Siren subspecies

+Uses magic through singing, but can also channel it through instruments

Bridgette- Mer

Justin- Elf

Ezekiel- Harpy

+Nobody likes him that much because of how his species is viewed, Noah especially

+Tries too hard to show he’s nothing like how his kind is depicted

DJ- Human

Courtney- Human

Leshawna- Human

Geoff- Human

Harold- Human

+No magic, typical human

+However he knows a lot about the other species customs and cultures and such

Tyler- Satyr

Lindsay- Faun

Beth- Human

Katie- Mer

Sadie- Mer

+Lion fish

Dj Naga - Styx (Chris Carter Remix) 2004

[djhamaradio]

On Tropical Music by DJhamaradio

The world of Tropical music is an amorphous thing because it isnt quite a genre its more like a general umbrella term coined by Djs and collectors. It is music that is coming out of more forgotten none english speaking parts of the world, even through some of it is made in the English speaking world for none english speakers. I can also describe it as largely coming from the Caribbean, South America and Central America, and the west coast of Africa but this doesn't mean some exceptions don't exist for example Salsa is churned out from the American east coast, and we have cases of Japanese bands who can hold it down playing Calypso. Traditionally Tropical joints are not as lokced into a groove like most funk is so I wouldnt include Afrobeat or some of the more James Brown inspired African and Carribean fare which has been mined by collectors for years. The tropical world leans more on an African inspired swing that is pretty alien if you compared it to say a Meters record. It is music you really never hear in the USA unless you are at a Haitian home or a Puerto Rican home. Its music that represents completely different musical paradigm, one that most westeners would never encounter and wouldnt have a context to make sense of. One think that is a fact is that it is some of the grooviest most ecstatic dancefloor music. A Gwo-Ka song played in a Techno or House set creates such ecstacy and everything else pales in comparison. For tonights show, here is the playlist.
