milgram mermaid au muu where she’s very pretty and likes to collect little trinkets that rei gives her (also she’s based off a spotted jelly!!)

perhaps i may draw more since i’ve already thought of what each character could possibly be (which will be under the cut) and i actually really like this au so yay

i based them off of sea creatures mainly by appearance and also kept two of them as possible humans (i still gave them potential sea animals for funsies tho)

haruka - peacock mantis shrimp

yuno - giant cuttlefish

fuuta - dragon moray

muu - spotted lagoon jellyfish

shidou - white-spotted conger eel

mahiru - whale shark

kazui - human (or blue-ringed octopus)

amane - rainbow parrotfish

mikoto - leopard seal

kotoko - human (or sailfish / cookiecutter shark)

es - blue marlin

PART 2 OF THE PERSONA 4 + 5 AU BC I HAVE IDEEEEEAAAAAS!

Part 1 is right here in case the post got drowned in other posts .

Aight, so. Ideas involving the Thieves and Investigation Team after encountering the Dark Priest and Shadow Akechi.

During the fight, Shadow Akechi starts summoning other shadows and just starts causing them to suffer psychotic breakdowns against the Phantom Thieves while the Dark Priest fights off the Investigation Team. Unfortunately for the IT it’s been a good while since they’ve actually worked together and done anything in the TV World which is a huge difference to how the Phantom Thieves are just clearing out the groups of shadows that keep coming.

The Priest meanwhile is giving the IT a hard time, monologueing about how hypocritical they are, and just going on a tangent in just how they kept refusing to see the blatant truths right in front of the - about Akiren being the cryptid and other things that they really shouldn’t know about their personal lives.

It eventually ends when Shadow Akechi starts to rant on about how futile it is to deny their lose, and the Priest declares how they will bring them all to true justice, just as they have done for the past year.

So with the plot out of the way we can have the character interactions we want/never knew we needed. (All of which may or may not already be on @ren-amamiyaa ‘s blog) Aka the Kanji and Kanji 2.0 discussion of loving their moms and being gud bois, Ann and Rise going into topics of how they act in the work place and their social lives (remember how Rise as identity issues bc of her career ATLUS YOU NEVER RESOLVED THAT!), and the inevitable Naoto + Yu becoming incredibly destroyed at the fact that the Inaba PD screwed Akiren over and were under Shido’s thumb (I known this is really empty and sparse but just try and fill in the blanks here). Oh yeah and Teddie and Morgana being sorta-kinda-like Shadows and THAT talk happening.

So ya know how I said that the IT are a bit disfunctional now and are barely holding on together to save Nanako? Well imagine how they’re law abiding natures handle with the PT if they were “True Good” citizens, since they kinda are only law abiders (except Yosuke and Kanji but we forgive them). They might renew their bonds and friendships and form new ones with the kiddos, or they might seperate from e/o bc they realize they’re all really different people with different ideals and ways of life with the only trait they share being that they have personas and live in Inaba... and the team just gets woooooorse since now they realize they have no real reason to be “friends” and Yu is crying a storm behind his Narukami Deadpan Mask^tm.

Anyway here’s where things become Persona. The only way out is through the TV the Thieves came though bc Fallen Heaven (new name for new development and its open again hush) (also everyone ran into e/o in Magatsu Inaba ok? ok) but it has become completely different than what it once was when the kids went through it. Now the place is just filled with broken ruins, dark patchy dried grass, dried up rivers that used to flow through the place, cloudy skies and heavy rain are just pouring throughout the entire place. And amongst the ruins there these little buildings scatterd throughout the place ranging from nice looking nursery homes to rotting wooden shacks. Akechi goes silent and still every time they run into one of these places and says nothing about it to the others.

Oh did I mention that bc Nanako loves Loveline and Akechi is a Detective Prince (”You’re not the Detective Prince, Naoto is.” “That title never really held any worth to me nor did it really mattter in anyway.” “Well you’ll always be the true one and only Prince.” “They always like this?” “Honestly we have no idea with Moronji and Naoto.”) there are P U Z Z L E S and C A S E S to solve? Why? Atlus and Persona that’s why andnotbcimgraspingstrawsherre !

The Thieves + Akechi go through these places to find clues on not just this weird TV world but also about that Priest (bonus if we find anything on Akechi to help him) while the IT go off to find Nanako. Shadow Akechi keeps running into the Thieves when they find pieces to the puzzle, about the missing girl, about Akechi himself since he (begrudgingly) is starting to let them in for realzies, how Adachi killed people with help from a god (”Sounds about right” says Joker, Bowl Cut and co probably when through something along the lines of his adventure) etc etc. As they go through things, the buildings start to have mini Palace epsiodes and self destruct, Fallen Heaven looking very slightly more cleaned up each time to it looking less dark and Akechy (badum dsh) and back its ruined state.

With the Team they end up finding out Heaven is either big bc of Akechi’s influence, or it’s a lot longer than they remember. They mainly clear out shadows that end up showing up, but they’re all scared and hesitant to approach them, almost like they’re trying to run and hide to live another day. They only realize this when the run into a Shadow in a hallway instead of a closed room where it just books it. But wait that wasn’t a Treasure Hand the group realizes thanks to Yosuke’s astute observations on the Shadows and the Set. Eventually they find the glass panes of Nanako’s memories and realize they kinda ruined her a bit with keeping her in the dark. I mean what were they suppose to do, tell her about how she got kidnapped, thrown into the tv, got put into a life threatening situation with a monster formed from repressed emotions that put her in the hospital and then DIED FOR A FEW MINUTES WHILE THEY ALL ALMOST MURDERED A MAN?!!??!

While they go through the Set they start to hear voices of other people, a lot of people actually. They all sound like the people who ended up having extreme changes of character, and it sounds like they’re all pleading for... something. Truth? Justice? They can’t tell if it’s either of those things or just mmishmashed mumbles of the people. Anyways they evntually enter some sort of chapel room of the Fallen Heaven with these human Shadows of the people have extreme changes of character. They see that Nanako’s Shadow is in the center of all these people and starts to reveal all of the doubts and emotions she has been feeling over the years about the Investigation Team. It ruins the IT, especially Yu as he basically learns that his Lil’ Sis hates him and wants nothing to do with him anymore. Cue the Shadows melting (screaming and crying bc they do that apparantly) and a fight against uh-duuuuh I dunno... (*flings dart at board*) an angel. What angel? UUhhhhh... fallen... yeeee... canyoutellimrunningouttasteam

After the battle ends, the shadows all seperate and Nanako’s Shadow is nowhere to be seen amongst the ruined churchy room.

Annnnnd now Im burned out and need to think thimgs over again. Thanks to listening to my ramblings on @ren-amamiyaa‘s amazing AUs and community, and I’ll probably make the next ramble post... eventually... theoretically...

FFXV OC NOTES

hi I have a lot of these nerds and haven’t posted in a while so y not

Might post pics later when the headache I have goes away hhhh

so ok

-literally the first ones i made were Aurora and Eloise

twins

-and whoops kinda shipped Eloise w/ prom orz (and still do aaa fite me)

-but both are also super duper lame and part of the lucian royal counsel bc their parents are advisors and so thus are kinda friends with the gang

-aurora mainly is a short tempered pain train and eloise is the sweet one but does retain a rebellious streak

-eloise was actually trapped in insomnia for a few days after the attack and had to make her way out while aurora would be training to become an official kingsglaive

-both twins are able to wield swords, and if teamed up will be Super Extra and swap them around when doing combos and link strikes

-however, aurora can also use shields while eloise had to pick up marksmenship while in the city to fight the mts a little better

-after the ending, eloise paired up with prom, mainly bc when i was writing their like "party banter" they kinda . clicked. since bc eloise probs also met prom when noct started bringing him to the citadel for after school hangouts and was like "om g who is u and why u gotta cute face"

-and then aurora casually teasing her along the way ( "ask him out already! ! " "ohmigosh nooooo he likes other girls stahp" "w/e kiss him itll fix that problem" "rORY NO,, , " )

-whoops a potencial side quest / tour was getting them to go on a date in lestallum, including sneaking around corners to spy on them aaa

-bUT UH ANYWAY

-with eloise she didnt feel comfortable just leaving prom behind like, he just lost his best friend to shitty god logic and was distant from ignis and glaudio. even tho hed be way more independant then before (read: his episode), i think itd still bother him being alone, seeing as not even Cindy was really giving him attention during the skip

-so they teamed up during those 10yrs, being demon hunting partners. after the end of the starscourge, they finally take their first actual break before jumping in with the insomnia restoration efforts (of course theres a funeral for noct in there im just .. . cant go there i get too emotional about these dang nerds)

-so when noct passes on, rory kinda,,, goes thru a bit of an existance crisis before throwing herself into restoring insomnia

-but h hh the other nerds ;w;

-Chaleb, Darius, & Elias : Glaives!! Darius is a mage while the other two specialize in greatswords (Elias) and polearms (Chaleb).

-all three are loyal to King Regis, despite Elias showing some doubt and was thinking of leaving before chaleb and darius talked him out of it.

-All three were childhood friends, and were from Galahd, joining up with the kingsglaive after its fall.

-in the effort to escape the attack on insomnia, darius and elias manage to escort a group of survivors out, but are seperated from Chaleb, who manages to team up with Eloise during her "episode"

-Viola and Lukas : both are similar in a way to prompto : pre- mts.

-Viola is an odd case given that instead of being a "perfect" clone, her gene sample was expiremented on and resulted her in being female, as opposed to all of her "brothers".

-Lukas was another botched clone, suffering from lacking essencial vitamins and in general developing poorly.

-Both were to be disposed of, but Ardyn (?) managed to convince Verstael that they could be salvaged as regular troops. However, Lukas escaped the keep at the first chance he got, while Viola stayed behind to eventually become a communications officer.

-however, viola shares the same views as arenea. seeing the chaos and terror simply not worth the end result.

-reuniting with lukas, they work on leaking intel to lucian forces before being caught and soon hunted by mts

-after proving themselves loyal to Noctis, they join into the group. This causes a bit of friction, mostly bc who tf trusts a nif rn

-the most vocal of opposition being gladio , which did cause a bit of fight between him and Lukas

-however viola offers a piece of useful info: she knows where a rare weapon is that once belonged to a Lucian noble

-so along the quest to get it, Lukas stays behind to help the hunters and Cor, while viola becomes the guest member of the group

-cue awkwardly sitting between Noct and gladio on that car ride

-of course it’s in a cave, being used by a yojimbo type daemon boss

-it strikes at Ignis, and would’ve straight up killed him

-had it not for a smol nif girl jumping in the way

-quickly they grab the weapon and get outta dodge, racing back to the hunters hq to treat the wounds

-meantime viola is rambling about Lukas and hers plan to help keep Noctis safe from ardyn, seeing as he’s targeting him for some reason (eep)

-by the time they get there Lukas is seconds from freaking out and what happened and oh gods that’s a deep cut and holy six please don’t leave me

-thankfully she’s patched up in time, but isn’t able to move around much.

-and bc of her shielding Iggy Cor eventually vouches for the both of them, staying that if they wanted to could’ve let the party die in that cave and alerted the mts whenever they wanted

-so yay! New friends!

-Lukas primarily uses rifles, though will use knives in close quarters. Typically carries his own sniper rifle, along with a long curved and serrated combat knife

-viola however has taught herself dragoon polearm techniques, and is like a less powerful arenea. Despite this she is quicker, and can pick off weaker enemies faster.
