#Ushio to Tora Azafuse

[wolfasketch]

Was bored and curious about what other Skya and Jaques (Skyques??) kids I could make. So far, Ushio II is still the only canon child to come after the story, but seeing as none of the Azafuse holders age, I can see them have more than one kid over the years. Might make some more kids for Yu Lee and Manolo, but we'll see.

Note: Azafuse born kids stop aging at 20

[sonicasura]

You can blame the anime Ushio and Tora for this idea.

Trollhunters but every time Jim uses the amulet, he slowly becomes a troll.

Let me explain. In the show Ushio and Tora, there's an weapon called the Beast Spear. A magical item that grants the wielder the power to slay evil spirits. Though there is a cost as the wielder will eventually become a beast, specifically Tora's species: Azafuse for 2015 reboot or Bakaneko in the original series.

Amulet of Daylight had always been made for Trollkind but it never gotten a human holder before. Well, at least until it chosen a certain Jim Lake Jr. Knowing who made the amulet and Merlin's skewed viewpoint about how things should be handled... I won't be surprised if he added such a function.

Now it starts as a slow process that wouldn't be noticable at first. His skin begins to feel dry, grows a bit hairier, teeth looking a bit sharp. Subtle changes as the deeper the transformation, the harder it is to reverse it. Next an odd coloration to his skin akin to bruising in some spots alongside minor headaches and toothaches.

The signs something is wrong will become noticeable to Jim when he finds dry blood on his pillow from the small horn nubs and some teeth fall out to be replaced with troll tusks later. His skin drying out until it flakes off to reveal soft clay skin like a scorpion molting. Further changes are more painful though mainly cause it involves his insides.

Jim's skin hardening to stone, his ring finger merging with the middle, horn growth, and two toes on both feet merge together aren't gonna be as painful as this. If I were to describe the pain, I say it's like being molded, stretched then dried in fire similar to clay. Albeit the clay is human bones and organs.

Things only get worse as certain items such as the Gritshaka, Gravesand and the Triumbric Stones accelerates the process. Yup! Jim's Eclipse armor practically triples the transformation speed but also set his new troll species: Gumm-Gumm. Specifically one just like Gunmar albeit more like an opposite. If the Gumm Gumm King is Yin, then Jim shall be his Yang.

He purifies those converted by Gunmar, undo Creeper's Sun poison and potentially so much more. A living manifestation of what a Heartstone is meant to do than Jim's twisted opposite. To heal instead of rot.

Jim's transformation would fully be completed during his stay in the Darklands as Gunmar's Decimaar Blade will speed up the process as well. He got his wish in a way. Jim replaced his son species wise but he will never control the Trollhunter.

Reunions for Team Trollhunters and the Lake Family is gonna be very awkward. Everyone, especially Jim, needs a shit ton of hugs. Someone needs to let Barbara whale on Merlin with a broom.

I just realized an Ushio and Tora AU would definitely fit with Draal as Tora while Jim takes Ushio's role. Although Jimbo will need a curse item like a prototype or twisted amulet replica and accidentally turns Draal into a Demon Troll using it. It takes place at least a year before Trollhunters canon mainly for shenanigans. Kanijar completely unaware of his son getting into trouble and then finding out in the most insane way sounds hilarious to me.

Bular fits too as Tora was quite antagonistic at the beginning. He also ate humans until he was imprisoned. Bular had been kidnapped by humans before in canon so it would be plausible to have him sealed up in someone's basement by an object like a long sword.

That's my opinion anyway.

Edit: You guys can also have a shot at this! I crave chaos and I love to see what people can come up with.

Sculpture Tora statue developments 3 The final painting phase really helped finish off the statue, Tora’s hair isn’t traditionally completely red but as I tried to blend the red and orange hair colours, the sculpture just looked incomplete- so I found a far better finish was having the front of his hair completely bright red. Rosie was incredibly happy with the finished product when I unveiled it to her on her birthday. :) Sometimes, it’s way more personal to actually create something yourself for somebody, even if it’s not perfect, the efforts get recognized for sure. :)

[talesofsonicasura]

Chaotic thought. Instead of being warped into the MCU, Eddie and Venom just have a bunch of kids dumped on them from different universes. Kids in question?

Ushio Aotsuki and his Azafuse partner Tora

Jolyne Cujoh, Giorno Giovanna, and Josuke Higashikata (Stands are visible to those not from JJBAverse)

Jak and Daxter, after the breaking Jak out of prison in Jak 2

Rin Okumura

Edward and Alphonse Elric, before Ed becomes a State Alchemist

Spyro, the dark Spyro games like Eternal Night

Rayman, from the trilogy and post Hoodlum Havoc

So not only are they stuck with a bunch of teens from different worlds while on the lamb but a lot of language barriers as well. Miscommunication, transformation mishaps, superpower craziness, utter confusion, bad guy thrashing, breakdowns, fluff, hurt/comfort, protectiveness, chaotic shenanigans, world building and found family for:

A tired human disaster journalist, his symbiote dork of a partner, a middle schooler that hunts demons and has poor drawing skills plus the tiger demon that swears to eat him but is just a giant tsundere, three teenagers with spirits and bizarre fashion, a recently traumatized elven teen looking for vengeance with his wisecracking ottsel partner that just broke him out of jail, the Son of Satan who just watched his foster father die because his blood related dad tried to drag him to hell, two kids with the oldest having his arm and leg replaced with robot limbs while the youngest soul is stuck inside a suit of armor, a young dragon whose life starts to become hell before being ripped from his universe, and a cocky, smartass Thingamajig that sometimes punch first and ask question later.

They end up becoming family, a dysfunctional family, that gives the middle finger to canonicity of the universes. i.e: Jak 2 and 3, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Eyes of Heaven, Fullmetal Alchemist, Blue Exorcist, dark Spyro games, and Ushio To Tora/Ushio and Tora. Rayman trilogy ended after Hoodlum Havoc since Origins and Legends are a reboot.

(Will add edits if someone tries to write this or I write it. This idea is free real estate for everyone.)

Edit 1: Shenanigans that are likely to happen

'What the hell are you?' or 'What the fuck?' thrown about for 30 minutes.

Weird pose contest that Tora, Edward and Eddie are reluctantly dragged into.

Venom wanting to bite off the heads of all the people that caused some sort of trouble to their otherworldly wards.

Lot of language barrier misunderstandings from words to actions.

Venom Hot Potato, or, something makes Venom go stir crazy and unwilling body swaps with group at random until a solution is found.

Campfire story telling and a beach day!

Thingamajig, purple dragon, ottsel and 12 year old blonde accidentally overthrow a drug cartel.

Ranking fangs and claws!

How To Train Your Dark Eco Elf Son with Venom

Edward exploits cat-like traits of feline group members with a laser pointer, even gets those who aren't related to a feline in shape or form.

Eddie wonders how a suit of armor can be cute and adorable. Venom feels offended

Pickpocketing and a lot of cat theft, Eddie ends up having a two tailed shapeshifting demon cat for a pet

Self Care for those with wings, horns, fur, scales, tails and helicopter hair.

Outfit swap that ends with trolling tired journalist.

Edit 2: More shenanigans likely to happen

Eddie and Venom learn not to say anything offensive about Josuke's pompadour, Ushio's drawing skills, or Edward's height via someone else facing the consequences.

Jak can't stand laying on his back when asleep. Rin, Rayman, Eddie and Venom decide to help.

Tora and Venom runs off with a Florida man's barbecue. Spyro somehow ends up in a lake because of it.

Tired journalist realizes getting captured or being put in jail is unfortunately common in the group.

Jolyne, Giorno and Rayman start a prank war. Small town becomes re-enactment of Stay Puft Marshmallowman's defeat.

Venom playing matchmaker. Doesn't goes as well as expected.

Eddie keeps finding out that missing, absent or bad dads is becoming a trend.

Heard of body swap? Get ready for species swap. Or Edward hates magic even more.

Ushio accidentally turns into a beast! Spyro and Daxter try to help with random success.

Rayman, Jak and Alphonse get lost then accidentally create a new urban legend.

Anne and Dan find out that Eddie Brock absolutely sucks at staying under the radar.

Weird biology in a nutshell. Edward nerds out.

Eddie thinks that all of his kids need therapy. Venom thinks they just need a shit ton of hugs... and a pile of heads of those who hurt them.

Symbiote and journalist accidentally get called dad by Giorno. More dad calls are quick to follow alongside dad jokes.

Venom nesting and Eddie's completely worried about another Carnage situation. Group of 14 might become 15.

Edit 3: Group Roles and shenanigans with Sleeper

Eddie Brock: Chooses where they go, handle Venom/Sleeper's needs, makes group decisions and try to be a father figure.

Venom: Protects the group especially Eddie, keep Eddie focused, hunts for food in wilderness, try to be a father figure.

Ushio Aotsuki: Keep Tora and the non-human members of the group from being seen and out of trouble, helps forage for food

Tora: Hunts for food whenever in wilderness, helps train Rin, Spyro, Rayman and Jak with their powers and use their animalistic instincts.

Josuke Higashikata: Treats injuries alongside Giorno, make sure everyone is in good health and has decent hygiene.

Giorno Giovanna: Tends to injuries alongside Josuke but also tend to any sickness, identity edible plants or mushrooms while foraging, handles finances.

Jolyne Kujoh: Fixes up clothing, helps Ushio look over the group, find safe places to rest.

Jak and Daxter: Keep track of essentials and tools, helps Edward with repairs and his automail, Daxter serves as lookout.

Rin Okumura: Cooks for the group, handles food, optionally teaches Venom to properly cook

Edward and Alphonse Elric: Repairs mechanical devices, handles map and electronic, creates shelter in emergencies.

Spyro: Manage the campfire, aerial lookout with Rayman, procures stuff to sell for extra cash

Rayman: Aerial lookout with Rayman, procures materials for Giorno, Edward and Alphonse need to transmute, keeps the group's moral up.

Sleeper: Be baby.

Shenanigans with Sleeper!

Group quickly falls in love with the new baby Symbiote. Not even Tora could resist the cuteness.

Edward updates his book to keep track of Sleeper's growth. Learns that the little goo ball liked sleeping in people's hair.

Rayman's first babysitting job. Becomes a disaster and it's not because of the baby.

Jak gets horribly sick and Sleeper bonds with him! Chemokinesis induced Dark Eco has strange effects.

Ushio tries to draw Sleeper. Baby symbiote ends up drawing him.

Tora's spinoff adventure! Tora and the Baby Symbiote.

Rin makes lasagna. Little slimeball gets addicted to the pasta.

Dark Daxter! Or Symbiote bonding to ottsel goes awry!

Alphonse and Sleeper are separated from the group. Baby learns a new trick.

Return to San Francisco. Giorno, Jolyne and Josuke steals a house with small slimeball as accomplice.

Group sleep pile. Venom and Eddie look over their new life.

Spyro visits Ms Chen with Sleeper. Gets spoiled after chasing off robbers.

Dan and Anne find Eddie alongside meeting his ragtag group of kids. Everyone likes Dan while Anne is just happy her ex fiancee found his own family.

San Francisco is about to get really chaotic once it's safe for Eddie to return.

That's all I have to say. Ciao with this thought stuck in your head!

Fierce Deity's True Form?

Random thought but do you guys think that Fierce Deity isn't in his true form? I seen posts where people headcanon him looking completely different either as half Interloper/Twili, demon to even an eldritch abomination. The mask and form he takes upon being worn is just a mortal visage.

I honestly want to play around with the idea as the Fierce Deity Mask is called the 'Oni Mask' in the Japanese translation of Majora's Mask. Fierce (Valion as I call him) could look like anything really. Even more so for the people who headcanon that he's actually First (Skyward Sword prequel Link) or Sky (Skyward Sword Link).

Whatever turned them into FD completely change their true form in order to become accustom to their godly powers. The human/Hylian visage is just out of pure comfort so the respective Link wouldn't forget who they once were. Plus you can imagine them getting banished to Termina since neither like forced godhood.

As for their 'true appearance', the category of chaos, violence, abnormality and wrath would definitely fit. Mainly chaos since it is neither good or bad just like darkness alongside a polar opposite to order. Some examples in the eldritch department would be Digimon's Proximamon or Omnimon Zwart Defeat. The latter being his true form withering after not be able to transform back for so long.

Furthest from what any entity ever seen in either Hyrule or Termina. One whose power can potentially eat away the existence of those that dare to stand against the Fierce Deity's true monstrous visage.

Or what it would be some kind of unrecognizable beast such as Monster Hunter's Lunagaron and Ushio and Tora's Tora (Azafuse). A Beastkin who holds voracious primal instinct yet also the knowledge of man but also gods. Whether Fierce acts man or beast depends on who approaches him.

A dragon that wouldn't fit the normal LoZ depictions such as Pokemon's Walking Wake/Paradox Suicune, Bakugan's Leonidas, and Specteobes' Daigyo. Visage of otherworldly power fit for a deity like Fierce. One that further isolates him from any other sacred dragon.

Or even a cross between man and monster like Yugioh's Draco Berserker of the Tenyi to Devil May Cry's Devil Trigger Nero. A form which bears a ferocity even greater than devils but will never fit in with any creature. This fact is often used as a test so Fierce can gauge the character of those who seek him out and act accordingly.

It makes you wonder especially if the mask ever broke and the deity locked inside comes out completely different. Fierce Dadity would definitely lean to more animalistic territory in both mannerisms alongside instinct. He is less man when taking on his true visage after all.

Expect a Link to get carried by the scruff of their shirt or getting a tongue bath like mother cats do to their kittens. Fierce would be a purring mess as he nuzzles those he views as his cubs and have the zoomies later since he been locked inside that mask for so long.

That's what I think anyway.

[sonicasura]

Barbara's Unique Family

I figured why not expand on this? There will be five little scenarios where our favorite badass doctor gets herself a kid. Three has Jim being neither species shown in Tales of Arcadia while the other two is a sibling under the same circumstances.

Let's get started?

Thingamajig and the Doctor

Yup! I'm starting with a Rayman flavored Jim as I honestly think it would be more hilarious when he kicks his rogue gallery's ass. A lot of them already underestimated him as a human so why not make the guy even more 'looks harmless but can kill you'?

This Jim will have other traits than the standard Limbless since I tend to make subspecies for a lot of stuff. Pointed ears, horns, thick werewolf style fur, claws, tusk like fangs, the ability to harden his skin alongside hair into thick blue bedrock similar to troll hidden, blue stripes that expand into said bedrock coat when activated, and a spiky crystal ball that follows him around as if attached to an invisible tail.

Now Thingamajigs are a pure magic species related to dreams. So Jim has dream/wish magic to put properly. It's only as strong as his belief, imagination and magic reserves. He can turn himself human but not poof Bular out of existence type range. There's also the normal Thingamajig abilities such as the Haircopter, running on walls, shrinking and not needing air.

Barbara finds Jim when he's two years old. He got himself stuck in the trashcan looking for food and she heard him crying. James is already out of the picture but I will say if he was there then the man will be gone. Either because he left on his own volition or she kicked him out for being heartless to a lost baby.

Jim becomes friends with Toby when they're four as kids tend to wander off and he's no exception. Barbara has him take online classes albeit any video call lessons have the monitor off or other excuses about his inhuman appearance on screen. Jim is around 11 years old when he finally able to hold onto a human disguise for more than twelve hours a day.

He attends public school afterwards which definitely earned him some attention for awhile. Like no one has seen Jim's human face before and assumed his 'big nose' persona is just a computer filter. Also for any Jlaire fans, they kiss with his human disguise or rub noses(kunik or 'Eskimo Kiss') in his true form.

Jim still freaks out a bit when Blinky and AAARRRGGHH break into his house. Although that's because there are two strangers in his home than them being trolls. Jim might use his Limbless nature to be a weird little shit. Back when he was little, Barbara had to check her bags before leaving for work as he tended to slip in there. Whether she got just Jim's head or his whole body is a coin flip at best. He was a clingy baby and later been teased for that with baby pictures.

Barbara's Tiger Son

For this one, Jim is getting a brother in the form of my OC Léi Yún. (Old doodle that I plan to redraw soon. He's based on a species called Azafuse/ Bakaneko(version based name) from a different series called Ushio and Tora.)

Léi Yún is a wanderer who has a habit of stealing an unsuspecting person's food. Albeit he made a bad mistake when he decides Barbara's attempt at egg salad would be a good target. Imagine her reaction when she caught a five year old Jim patting the back of an ill tiger yaoguai hung over the kitchen sink.

Barbara's food made him so sick that he can't exactly fly away or even use magic without feeling queasy for a few days. Enough time to find out Léi Yún is essentially a child and adopt him in seconds. The Azafuse follows Jim to school by turning invisible to those who aren't spiritually attuned. Basically the school doesn't know they have an extra student, at least until the last two episodes. He met Toby by stealing Nana's cookies and Tobes caught him.

Now yaoguai tend to age quite strangely between each individual. Most mature normally like humans, take centuries like trolls but some have certain requirements that need to be done first. Léi Yún is one such yaoguai as he's actually 600 years old despite his child appearance. He needs to haunt someone or a place to properly reach maturity. What better people than the Lakes?

Léi Yún's species can get quite big so in his 10 year stay, he matured into an near adult around AAARRRGGHH's size. Of course he can make himself feel weightless like most spiritual based entities. Thus Léi Yún could do this despite the size difference between him, Jim and Barbara.

Also Barbara is sooo finding out about Jim's Trollhunter role as a certain older brother will tell her. Léi Yún ain't dumb. He knows Jim's new double life gonna drag everyone in the crossfire whether he wants it to or not. Plus its better to have a medic for any lethal injuries. Just because Barbara taught Léi Yún first aid doesn't mean he can handle broken ribs. Also that binding spell is the only thing keeping the Azafuse from zapping Strickler like he did to Bular and Draal(for being a dick to Jim earlier).

Even a Beast Deserves Love

For this one, Jim is gonna be a Lamortmon mainly to fit the Beast motif. (Lamort means death in French. Fitting when this Digimon is known for extreme berserker tendencies with the smallest slight unless calmed down. Jim was taught anger management at an early age.) I'm going for the Digimon Fusion rules so he hatched from an egg and grew up in this form.

Barbara found Jim's egg hidden by a dumpster when out shopping. He hatched at home and she raised him as her own. In a sense, Barbara is his Tamer but a Digivice has yet to form...for now. Her relationship with James doesn't last long when he discovers a one year old Jim and practically runs. House is later renovated to make him more comfortable such as having enough room to move around alongside cooking without issue.

The young Lamortmon does befriend Toby by sneaking into his yard. Unlike the others, Arcadia ends up finding out about Jim when a nasty fire broke out in a store. He was hiding inside Toby's phone while his best friend was looking for snacks. The 10 year old rescues everyone who been trapped inside and became a precious secret hidden from outsiders by the townsfolk.

Barbara had him doing online classes so Jim integrating to public school wasn't difficult. He's usually in a small handheld carried around by Toby except for classes outside or inside the gymnasium. Strickler definitely spat out his coffee and had a WTF moment seeing Jim at school.

Why is this strange creature out in the open??? Is he trying to get everyone's attention? Nevermind the fact a 15 year old Jim is just a mere two feet shorter than Gunmar. He might've gotten a glamour mask by an anonymous source *cough* Strickler *cough* mainly to lower the risk of Bular and the Lamortmon meeting.

Now as for Jim's missing weapons and armor for his species, the Amulet will be providing his twin blades alongside the metal gauntlets than just the Trollhunter armor. He does tell Barbara about the trollhunting business since he rather not have her oblivious to the dangerous responsibility now shoved onto him. Man needs some more hugs.

Loving Shadows

Another OC this time with my undead magical experiment Ling Shēng. (Another doodle I plan to revamp.) He's a runaway failed clone of the Six Eared Macaque, a Celestial Primate whose six ears can hear the past/present/future, made via stolen magic alongside corpse magic. Personality wise, Ling Shēng is a lonely 7 year old who rather play leap frog with an actual frog and be helpful but is scared to interact in fear of being hurt.

Barbara discovers him one day when she notices a 5 year old Jim's shadow is acting strange every night before bed. Almost if someone is standing behind. Quick google search leads to the conclusion of a Diao Xue Gui or "hanging on boots ghost", a mischievous but mostly harmless spirit. Barbara manages to gently coax Ling Shēng out of hiding.

She didn't expect the ghost to actually be a small monkey child and is quick to adopt him. Ling Shēng is the only one who can actually use healing magic but also purification magic. A nice boon when it comes to dealing with a certain evil sorceress and troll warlord with a mind control fetish alongside stone poison issues.

Ling Shēng is introduced to be Toby through Jim as he figures his new brother needs more friends. The undead yaoguai takes online classes but does follow his human family and friend through the shadows. Since he's a clone, it doesn't take long for him to mature into a young adult in those 10 years.

Ling Shēng is still a shy stuttering mess who loves family hugs and sweets despite being a 7'11 tall undead monkey yaoguai built like Bruce Lee with a Día De Los Muertos skull bearing piercing violet eyes for a head. He does tell Barbara during the Win, Lose or Draal incident. Ling Shēng doesn't want these secrets to hurt his family further.

Mother's Wolf

We're going for a werewolf Jim or to put aptly, a Wolfssegner. A type of Wolfskin from Fire Emblem who can switch between a human and beast form. Although Jim will have to cover ears, tail, alongside have an excuse for his more hairy body. Now Wolfskin require a gem called a Beaststone to manage their transformations better. Jim doesn't have one so he has to learn the ropes while he grows up.

Barbara finds him in the woods when he was just a baby. James already dipped as she caught him being unfaithful once coming back home. Jim doesn't shift until he's five. A playdate with Toby goes awry when a mountain lion house breaks into his the Domzalski's backyard.

Jim transforms to protect his best friend, the animal runs off clearly intimidated by grizzly bear sized werewolf. This leads to a lot of camping trips so Barbara can help her son become accustom to his other form. It might've started an urban legend known as the 'Giant Horned Wolf of Arcadia Forest'. (A 15 year old Jim's beast form is nearly the size of a small bus.)

He attends public school but wears a hair brand to make the illusion that his ears and tail are fake. As for his fur patches, Jim has the Werewolf Disease excuse. Basically the only thing that'll blow his mom's thought out cover plan is him transforming. If he needs to use his other form, Barbara gave Jim the idea to shift one or two of his limbs than a full transformation.

He does tell his mother after the Win, Lose or Draal episode. Mainly cause she would easily find their new troll protector in seconds. Jim's puppy brain got him into some nutty shenanigans when he was younger so Barbara will definitely find out if he's hiding something in the house.

And that's it! I probably do one with Strickler later. Draal too as we know Barbara would've adopted him if she could. Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Arcadia.
