Dracula DnD AU

So I actually did sit and come up with DnD classes for Lucy & her polycule however bear in mind that a) I'm a first time Dracula reader so for all I know maybe some characterisation/information changes later idk, and b) the most I know about DnD comes from tiktok skit compilations on youtube & occasionally listening to dnd podcasts so EXTENSIVE creative liberties up ahead:

Lucy Westenra

She's a race of human shaped cat creatures, since I love cats and I love Lucy I combined my two favorite things and she looks like this:

(Idk if it can be seen but she's somewhat chubby and it's not plot relevant but I want you to know it's there)

As in canon her family's part of the gentry, though not the nobility, and she was very sheltered growing up. What's different is that for her community polygamy is favored and seen in a good light - cats are communal raisers and also Lucy wanted polygamy so she gets polygamy.

Lucy is a warlock and what happened was this: her deity takes the form of a scrungly little goblin creature, and more than anything what it really wants is to be loved. One day teenage Lucy found them crying in the bushes and was like "Who are you?? Are you okay??? 🥺" and the deity was so surprised she wasn't repulsed by them that they instantly befriended her and got an idea. In exchange for them giving Lucy protection and powers, Lucy will gather the affections of people and it'll get siphoned to them.

It works something like how it does in the anime Sugar Sugar Rune, where whoever it is that takes a shine to Lucy has their momentary feelings absorbed into a small jewelry on her person, and this doesn't hurt them, alter their personalities, or make their memories/feelings vanish.

The deity receives the affection that Lucy gets and in exchange Lucy has strong persuasion, luck, and invisible protections that aid and guide her to safety, plus she also receives little gifts from her deity like trinkets and useful & pretty little items. To other people Lucy appears as someone with a melodious voice, a sweet and gentle smile, having an aroma of honeysuckle and lavender, and accompanied by the sound of bells from charm bracelets on her wrists and bells on her ankles.

The relationship between her and her deity is like the flip side of the sugar daddy/sugar baby dynamic I've seen described for this class. Every time they meet Lucy goes "Who's a good puppy?? You are!!!! :D" and gives them pets and they become a happy, adoring puddle at her feet, it's very silly and cute.

Arthur Holmwood

The thing about Arthur is that he's surrounded by so much death, so as an exchange or comfort or running with the theme of it I made him a Witch Lord. That is, his family has magic running through them, most likely through an otherworldly ancestry, and because he's a Lord this means he has responsibilities that someone of the nobility would - responsibility towards the protection and safekeeping of a peoples, territory, and dominion.

His family's responsibility is towards aiding lost souls and guarding the boundaries between death and life. And because this is Arthur "Get Shit Done" Holmswood this man has connections. He has wealth, power, influence, and an extensive network of resources and contacts. He can call upon those souls that linger and so long as he does his duties and pays respects then they will give him information and guidance.

Lucy's race being cat adjacent, they are more than capable of seeing and interacting with the dead and hold a lot of respect for witches. So by her people's standards, Arthur is A Catch. As far as appearances go, he looks mostly human though there's something just a little otherworldly about his features but it's hard to put a finger on what. Some of the more obvious ones are that he has night vision and glows faintly in the dark.

Quincy P. Morris

Quincy multiclasses in Ranger and Barbarian I feel like there's a joke in that one. He's traveled to many places and been on many incredible adventures, and has collected allies and knowledge alike. Analytical, perceptive, a man of action but also very noble and kind, Quincy is a fighter and a thinker possessing skills, stats, and charisma across the board. Were it not for him having little to no magical ability he would've been very much OP but I'm trying to curb my obvious favoritism here

John (Jack) Seward

He's a half-dragonborn wizard, and despite having dragon features he's still as much of a soggy wet paper bag man as canon. Being draconic gives him strength that can match up to Quincy if he wanted, though he prefers to rely more on his studies. He tries his best to keep up a somewhat tidy appearance but is usually impeded by frequently molting scales, askew glasses, and a generally sleep deprived and frumpy disposition.

Mina Harker

Mina is a dark elf and also a witch. Unlike Arthur's lordly upbringing, witchcraft was something she took pains to learn, what with her being an orphan and all. She teaches magic to students and is as much a lover of the dark and creepy crawlies and things that go bump in the night as any elf born amongst them.

In appearance, Mina is a tall and politely intimidating but otherwise neatly put together elf woman. She feels most at home in dark forests and chats with the supernatural on the regular. Her being a witch also means her and Lucy were encouraged to be besties from the get go.

Jonathan Harker

A regular ol' human and perhaps even a solicitor here too. Just like in canon he shows a deep well of strength of character in this au, and being a human of not much special abilities doesn't stop him from being courageous, determined, loyal, and deeply kind. He's the Connecticut Clark to his big, scary, amazing Goth wife and he's got a warm, sunshiney nature that's so in line with Lucy's that the rest of the polycule loves him just as much. He's always ready to help and protect and fight for those he loves.

And if you want an angstier angle, he can have some qualities of the supernatural lurking underneath the surface - a pallor to his skin, slightly elongated teeth, a taste for meats, being drawn to darker magics, etc - after a terrifying run in within the forests.

As for Van Helsing of the alphabet soup degrees, I feel like similar to canon he'd be a mysterious figure of sorts, but giving off the air of a sorcerer or monk. He's a scholar, a potioneer, an artificer, and many, many more that most don't come to know. He plays the role of the polycule's favorite uncle who occasionally drops by to send them all careening off on an adventure.

God i found your art just recently and I'm,, in love. I'm so happy i found a endeavor-just-didnt-fuck-up AUso i gotta ask... Are the dad might AU and Teacher!endeavor AU on the same dimension 🥺👉👈 cause,,, awkward game nights with both families cause by Inko and Rei, and just,,, 🥺🥺👉👈

ahhh that would be soo cute if they’re in the same AU!!! I’m not sure yet, i love the idea but it’s hard to explain, the two AUs don’t play out in my head together, if that makes sense? 

Though it would be absolutely adorable for Toshi to frantically ask Endeavor what to do whenever anything goes slightly array with baby Izuku. Like 1 am and Izuku is crying and Toshi just calls Enji and he is l i v i d, but helps anyways. 

Inko and Rei are def better friends than Toshi and Enji, but they still manage to get along. Game night, where Endeavor still pouts because he lost to All Might, he just can’t help his competitive nature. :D

“Primus’s God”: Christians on Cybertron AU

So this is part of my own personal AU I am working on called the Ultimate Universe where G1, Prime, Animated, and the IDW Lost Light all happened in that order. So read on knowing I in no wise claim this to be cannon.

So we know Drift is a Spectralist and almost everyone agrees his religion is a bit crazy. But I feel like the original writers just picked something stupid sounding to poke fun at religion and never explored Spectralism enough to give it the respect any religion deserves. But in keeping with the idea most Cybertronians think Drift’s beliefs are bogus, I picked something that would not settle well with most Cybertronians.

Belief in an organic God.

To start with, most Cybertronians are terrified and disgusted by organics. Worshipping one as God, placing them above Primus, is often viewed as sacrilege by the devout and idiotic by the rest. confirmed believers are often persecuted; mocked at the least and even denied their rights by the Council and Senate. (Because of this, most belonged to the Decepticon movement early in the war and later defected. They also tend to be less star struck by The Prime and judge them for their actions and/or tell them when they are being idiots.)

As Drift tries to explain it, he isn’t rejecting belief in Primus. Primus was a great prophet, a being of immense power, and the father of the Transformers. He still practices mainstream Cybertronian religion, just like some Buddhists are members of other faiths as well. He believes he worships the God of Primus, practicing the same religion as that of the Guiding Hand.

Due to Information Creep, the origins of Cybertron are shrouded in mystery. Some believe the members of the Guiding Hand were built and then freed by organics from different planets. The Guiding Hand was guided by the shared God of these planets alongside thousands of other sentient machines from across the galaxy to a world of their own.

This God showed them how to gain bodies to match their souls from hotspots and gave them the Allspark so they could create posterity of their own. They await the birth of His Son, Immanuel, on a planet named Christus. This Son will redeem all life of their sins.

This religion has a very small following; you’re more likely to meet a Point-One-Percenter than to know a “Christain”. Not even the late Optimus Prime the great Matrix Bearer of the Great War put much stock in their beliefs, occasionally mocking his Second in Command Prowl of Praxus for his backward beliefs. Even despite the fact, several isolated organic planets all have the same belief system including Earth. Earth even claims to be the planet Christus if their Winter Holiday is to be believed.

The younger Optimus Prime of the Detroit bound maintenance crew is a believer in Primus’s God, and though Sari failed to mention the true meaning of Christmas, he took much joy in the knowledge that Easter brought.

Of course, aboard the Lost Light, we know Drift to be a member. But there are two others. Rodimus is not so surprising due to his close relationship with both young Optimus and Drift, but the second is more baffling to the crew. Rung is a quietly devout Christian, and he and Cyclonus stick up for each other’s beliefs.

Prophetic!Orpheus AU

So Apollo is the god of prophecies, yeah? This is my take on if Orpheus inherited some of his father's powers in that area. Part of a much larger work that I am actively and excitedly working on

Darkness encroaches upon him, laying thick and black as tar. Orpheus struggles to draw breath, his chest aching. It is so lonely here, the tunnel stretching miles both in front of and behind him. Far below, Eurydice beckons, but he yearns for the feeling of the sun on his face, breeze in his hair, air that doesn't swallow sound as soon as it leaves his mouth. The urge is there, fluttering and treacherous, to turn around, cut his losses, find a new muse. He knows it's possible, Hermes said as much, and Hermes has never lied to him. And yet, the thought of it makes him retch, more than the cloying stench of death ever could. A new muse could be found, perhaps, but never an equal, a partner, a lover such as Eurydice. She was unique, that he is sure of.

Is unique. She is unique. She is not lost to him.

Yet. She is not lost yet. And at that thought, Orpheus falls to his knees, his legs refusing to support him any longer. He will not turn back, cannot abandon his wife a second time, but neither can he take another step forward. The darkness surrounds him, pawing at his clothes until he's sure there are hands out there, in the unknown before him. Devilish hands that are intent on tearing him apart, never letting him see the light of day again. He will die here, alone and cowardly, in the depths of Hades.

"No!" He shouts, the cry torn from some primal place that rends even as he stands. His arms shake as he twists his lyre in front of him, his fingers tremble as they settle into a chord, but his voice is steady as he sings. "La la la la la la la,"

The melody spirals into the air, driving back the spectres from his vision. A smile, weary and pained but definitely present, flits across his face. His father has not abandoned him today. "La la la la la la la,"

In this manner, Orpheus walks deeper through the layers of Hell, closer to his wife and closer to his destiny.

"Why, you certainly look lost. What's a pokemon like you doing in a region like this?"

@geobadge 

          That man from earlier, the one with the unsettling grin, Ausos didn’t think they would see him again so soon. Was this man following Ausos or was this pure coincidence? Ausos couldn’t be sure. The man wasn’t being rude, or mean, or trying to hurt them though, so Ausos didn’t see a reason to ignore the stranger– who knows, maybe the man would turn out to be nice, maybe even another friend to make! 

          “Ausos not lost, Ausos just travel!” Ausos, watching the man cautiously, though optimistically, speaks to them in a chipper tone, all while the crystal on Ausos chest emanates a faint purple light. “Ausos like see new places, meet new people, new friend. Friends especially Ausos likes!” Ausos, tilting their head at the man, continues, “Although, Ausos not find many friend in here region yet.” The crystal on Ausos’ chest makes a rumbling noise, to which Ausos laughs, “Ausos also hungry, it seems. By chance know where Ausos can find food?”

Soo geit Bärndütsch

Bei Ben Vatter gibt es «geng öppis z gfätterle». Sein neues Buch «Gvätterle», zu dem auch 2 Audio-CDs gehören, enthält 25 seiner Berndeutsch-Kolumnen sowie sämtliche Lieder seines Soloprogramms «Gvätterle» in Wort und Ton. Unser Teammitglied Hans Jürg Zingg ist in das Werk eingetaucht. 

Ben Vatter: Gvätterle Kolumnen und Lieder vatter&vatter, 2019 ISBN 978-3-9524801-6-8 CHF 38.00 Gebunden, 105 Seiten + 2 CDs

Wo aafaa?

Söu me ächt itz zersch das attraktyve, grafisch aamächelig gschtautete Buech läse? Oder di zwo CD lose? A, di blaaui, oder B, di grüeni? Oder wäär am änd läse u lose glychzytig ds Beschte? – U de guub s ja o no par Youtube-Videos, zum Byschpiu «Uf der Suechi nach e re Bratwurscht» oder «Fährimaa». U nid zletscht chönnt me sech das Programm «Gvätterle» o no grad live ga aaluege, solang dr Ben s no schpiut.

Auso wüsst er, was ds Auerbeschte wäär? – Me würd nid so lang hiin- u häärchääre, sondern muetig das chlyne Monumänt vom Ben Vatter, em 48-järige Schtadtbärner, vo irgendwohäär i Aagriff nää, s zaut sech uf jede Fau uus, das garantieren ech.

Unterhautendi Unterrichtseinheite für Bärndütsch-Fans

Me isch intelektuell gforderet vom Ben syne Kolumne, vo syne Lieder, wo (zmingscht im erschte Teil) gsungni Kolumne sy. Das dr Ben im Houptpruef Leerer isch, präzys gseit: Musigleerer am ne Gymer, cha u wott äär nid vrlügne. – Heisst das itz aber, me chöm sech ab em Läse u Lose vo «Gvätterle» voor wi i re Schueuschtund? – Di Fraag chan i für mii mit me ne behärzte «JEIN!» beantworte.

Positiv formuliert: Uf so unterhautendi, hervorragend formulierti u scharmant präsentierti Unterrichtseinheite wi se dr Ben bietet, cha sech jede Bärndütsch-Fan richtiggehend fröje. Di Kolumne sy für aut u jung glych schpannend, vorusgsetzt, me heig Inträsse am Schtoff, u das isch ds Bärndütsch, so wi’s hütt – houptsächlech ir Schtadt Bärn – vo schpraachbewusste Bärnerinne u Bärner no ggredt u gschribe wird.

«Autvatterischi» Schrybwys – Bärndütsch-Tradizion

A propo Schrybe: Jede wo em Ben Vatter sy Schrybwys kennt, syg s vo de «Bund»-Kolumne häär, syg s ufgrund vom Buech, merkt natürlech sofort, das iig, was Schrybig betrifft, us me ganz angeren Egge chume. Aber das wei mer itz hie nid usbeindle! Wär sech drfüür intressiert, cha das i üsne Blog-Byträäg «Bärndütsch performe u schrybe» uf dere Syte hie nacheläse. (Hans Jürg Zingg, Ben Vatter)

Dr Ben Vatter seit nämmlech säuber vo siich, är pflegi es zum Teil «autvatterisches» Bärner Idiom. O wen äär dr Schpraachwandu aus Taatsach anerchennt, geit s iim doch im Wäsentleche drum, a tradizionelli Wörter u Forme vom Bärndütsch z erinnere, ir Hoffnig, syner Läserinne u Läser nämi dä Bau uuf u tüegi ires eigete ggredte Bärndütsch kritisch hinterfraage, u nid nume daas, sondern de di Tradizion o wyter pflege.

Dr «Bärndütsch-Psychopapscht»

Sy zäntraali Bootschaft punkto Bärndütsch formuliert dr Ben Vatter scho grad im «Lied vo de nümm ganz eso bärndütsche Wörter» ydrücklech, aber o mit viiu Humor. Mit em Übername «Bärndütsch-Psychopapscht» zeigt er, das sy Aaschpruch, ds koräkte tradizionelle Bärndütsch aazmaane, sys Härzensaalige isch, aber glychzytig o chly ne Tic. Är isch zwar ke Schpraachgeleerte, aber trotzdäm i Sache Bärndütsch üsserscht bewanderet u dür ds jaarelange Kolumneschrybe seer erfaare, wott heisse, mit Matriaau yddeckt. Är schiuderet sech aus unermüedleche Beobachter, wo wärend Gschprääch mit syne Mitmönsche bschtändig Sätz i sys Händy notiert, won im irgendwie uffaue. Drby weis er, är trääjt mängisch fasch düre u ggraatet i ne Korektuurzwang, wen er bi syne Mitbärner u Mitbärnerinne luter Fääler ghöört. Böösi Zunge rede de sogar schnäu einisch vo Mundart-Faschischte, was em Ben seer leid tuet. Aber glychzytig cha dr «Gvätterli-Ben» säuber di «Fääler» o gnüsslech usschlachte, indäm er se multipliziert und uf d Spitzi trybt. Das macht er vor auem i de Lieder uf dr CD A, wo teilwys di glyche Theme ufgryffe wi d Kolumne.

Hitvrdächtigi Braatwurscht

Drüü vo dene Lieder verzeuen e Gschicht. Die im «Lied vo de Mehrzähl» u im Lied  «Was wär, wenn» fingen i chly dünn u konschtruiert, haut eifach im didaktische Inträsse vo Wörterufzelige u Rymereie zämebbaschtlet. Immerhin het «Was wär, wenn» e scharmanti, guet singbaari Melodie, u dr Dienscht aus Leerbyschpiu tüe di Gschichte natüürlech einewääg.

Dämgägenüber schynt mer ds Lied «Uf der Suechi nach ere Bratwurscht» rundume gglunge, ja scho fasch hitvrdächtig: musikalisch ygängig, konzäntriert uf ne guet fassbari Problemschtelig samt Handlig (d Vrfiumig uf youtube zeigt s uf amüsanti Art), u glychzytig nimmt s di emozionali Überdrääjtheit vom «Psychopapscht» säubschtironisch uf ds Chorn: Är het «Hüngerli und Dürschtli», aber schtatt sys Bierli u sys Würschtli z erschtaa, wünscht er sech lieber originaaubärndütschi Aaredeforme («öich» u «dir» schtatt «ihne» u «sii») u verlaat zwöimaau e Braatwurschtstand ooni öppis z choufe. Ersch ir Beiz klappet s de, aber da chunnt er ab auem Ässe i no grösseri Vrzwyflig, fragt ne doch di Servierdüüse: «U de, schmöckt’s?» Für iin Grund gnue, sofort wortrych u lydeschaftlech der Ungerschiid zwüsche «schmöcke» u «schmecken» daarzlege. U d Schlusspuänte nu, di isch chly chauvinistisch, aber im Cabaret darf das sy: «süsch – göht doch uf Züri ga serviere».

Kolumne zum Bärndütsch: schpraachkritisch u puänterych

Knapp d Heufti vo de Byträg uf dr CD A sy live voortreiti Kolumne, auso konzäntrierti Choscht. We me zügig eini nach der andere lost – oder o list – wird s eim scho gly mau schturm im Hirni; aber das isch ja dr Voorteil vo Buech u CD, me cha sy Läsi- u Losizyt säuber schtüüre. Aus Bünepublikum mues me daa scho mee am Bau blybe, aber dr Ben erliechteret eim daas, erschtens wüu er zwüsche d Kolumne geng wider Lieder oder o churzi Zwüschetäggschte leit u zwöitens, wüu s geng wider Mitmach-Kolumne git, wo ds Publikum cha sy Teil bytraage, zum Byschpiu bir Vrbärnerig vo Voornäme oder bi Abchürzige für Peize ir Schtadt Bärn.

«Mit Verbe i ds Verderbe» isch insofern en aaschpruchsvoui Sach, aus es hie nid um Wörter, sondern um Grammatik geit, nämmlech um d Wortschtelig, schpeziell bi de Verbe. Drby het dr Kolumnischt – wi scho im Voorwort «Zwöi, drü Gedanke zu Beginn» – kener Hemmige, syner Überlegige mit fautsche Sätz yzleite für z teschte, wär dr Fääler merkt u wäär niid. Aus eim, wo säuber o no es häärkömmlechs Bärndütsch pflegt, isch mir das Bausam uf d Seeu, we eine moniert, das me nid «darf i no nes Güezi?» fragt oder «la ne mache» seit, schtatt «la ne la mache». Nume mit em kategorische Vrbanne vom Futur han i chly Müe. Natürlech isch es e Pleonasmus, we me seit «nächscht Winter wird der Unggle dahäre cho», un ig säuber sieg das o nie; aber e Satz wi «Das wirsch de gsee» töönt eifach dringlecher u ärnschter ggmeint weder «das gseesch de», wo für mii eender en unvrbindlechi Floskle isch.

Vo de rund zwöi Dotze Kolumne im Buech het dr Ben knapp d Heufti für d CD ufgno, di Selektion finden i aaggmässe. Zwar list dr Outor syni schpraachkritische, meischtens o witzig u puänterych formulierte Mini-Ufsätz soo voor, das ds Zuelose zum Vrgnüege wird, u de Publikumsreakzione merkt me daas o aa. Aber irgendeinisch isch gnue, u schliesslech «kolümnelet» dr Ben Vatter im «Bund» ja wyter, auso isch zum Glück no lang kes Ändi in Sicht.

E Perle – leider nid ganz ächt

Blybe uf dr CD A no zwöi Lieder, wo gsungni Kolumne sy: «Ds Lied vo de Näme», das isch luschtig, wüu d Lüt chöi mitsinge u dr gängig Name, wo me z Bärn zum Byschpiu em ne Patrick oder e re Tatjana git, nämmlech «Pädu» u «Tatle», chöi errate. Inhautlech aber isch s e reini Ufzelig, wo me soo no zimmli lang chönnt wytertrybe.

E richtigi Perle hingäge wäär «Ds Lied vo de Sache, wo me nume uf Bärndütsch cha mache». Es isch us dr Fröid ar Kreativität vo üser Mundart entschtande u gryfft d Motiv uuf, wo ir Kolumne «Kolümnele» beschribe wärde. Dasch eini vo den attraktyvschte, si zeigt a re Fülli vo Byschpiiu, wi ds Bärndütsch ir Laag isch, us fasch jedere Wortart es Verb z biude. Das faat mit «lädele, ghüdere, sünnele» aa u hört bi «ggimodiümlet» u «gviagralet» no lang nid uuf. Itz schrybt aber dr Ben i genaau dere Kolumne: «Mir Schwyzer und bsunders mir Bärner sy wahrschynlech Wältmeischter im Verbisiere.» Im Lied hingäge plagiert scho dr Titu mit «nume uf Bärndütsch», u dr Schluss ungerschtrychts nomau: «Eso chasch würklech nume z Bärn parliere». U daa – mues i säge – isch dr Kolumnischt aus Liedermacher chly übermüetig woorde. Nume weeni vo de über achtzg i däm Lied ufzeute Wörter ghööre nämmlech usschliesslech em Bärndütsch, wytuus di meischte wi «schnaagge», «tschiggle» oder «tryschaagge» sy ou i anderne Dütschschwyzer Mundarte gglöifig. U o Nöjschöpfige wi «ässämmässle», «töggele» oder ds wunderbaare «flugsimulatörle» sy kener Bärner Originaau. Schaad, das auso di Perle vo me ne Lied der Ächtheitsprüefig nid ganz stand het. Aber ds Bärner Publikum het sicher trotzdäm Fröid dranne.

Es Mani Matter-Dänkmaau

Wüu dr Ben Vatter sech seer lang mit em Mani Matter befasst u däm syner Lieder i me ne prächtig gschtautete Buech useggää het, isch im irgendeinisch d Idee cho, es Medley vo Mani Matters Chansons z schrybe, u de o vo syne Chöör la z singe, s git Ufnaame drvoo. U klaar darf das Medley im Büne-Programm u drmit o im Buech vom Ben nid fääle, är treit s zum Klavier solo voor, wi au syner Lieder. Ig schetze s aus nes chlyns feins Dänkmaau für en Urvatter vo de Bärner Liedermacher; es isch seer kunschtvou zämegschmidet, woby für my Gschmack einzelni Lieder chly z churz chöme, wüu dr Medley-Arangschöör nid in erschter Linie uf Melodie-Übergäng, sondern vor auem uf Schlüssuwörter aus Naatschteue uus isch gsy. Das füert mängisch o zu Toonartwächsle, wo vilicht chly abetüürlech drhäärchöme, aber i dr Choorversion töönt s de nomaau anders, auso isch di Kritik e chly schpitzfindig. Aus i auem fingen i dä Queerschnitt e tolli Sach!

Im zwöite Teil vo myre Rezension schryben i de vor auem über Ben Vatters Lieder uf dr CD B, da wird s politisch, aber ou makaber – u bi paarne geit s sogaar um Läbe u Tood!

[blackcrystvl]

GET TO KNOW THE CHARACTER! (Repost, don’t Reblog)

LAYER ONE: THE OUTSIDE

Name: Ausos

Eye Color: Black/White

Hair Color: No Hair

Height: 5′7″ but this can change depending on their form (they are tallest in Defense Form, being 6″5)

Clothing Style: Doesn’t need clothes, though if they were to wear something, they’d have a very casual style, bordering on punk-ish.

Best Physical Feature: Their Crystal? It’s always shining with beautiful colors depending on how they feel. Other than that, their arms? They could give great hugs with arms like theirs, especially when they are in defense form. Strong, warm hugs.

LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE

Fears: Being alone and/or ending up alone, failing their trainer/the people/other pokemon they care about. Other than that, Eternatus.

Bad Habits: They can be a little too curious at times, too loud, and their appetite has been known to get them into trouble, too-- in the sense that, they think nothing of stealing whole vending machines or food carts and flying off with them to then gorge on their contents, or just “stealing” food in general when they can’t otherwise acquire it with funds or whatnot. Ausos always repays his debts in those regards, but, still, they are a food klepto.

Ambition for the Future: Ausos wants to regain the ability to change into their other forms, for starters, and to maybe eventually regain many of their lost memories, but overall Ausos main goal is just to make friends and live a good life with those friends, whether they are pokemon or humans or whatever. Everything else they just play by ear.

Biggest regret: Ausos’ memory is very spotty and there isn’t much from their past they can remember “regretting”, however they do retain a lot of the feelings from those lost memories, and one of those feelings pertains to the partner they lost thousands of years ago. Ausos doesn’t remember the partners name, or even what they looked like, but Ausos remembers feeling very deeply for them, and Ausos knows they perished somehow. Ausos doesn’t know what happened to them exactly, but Ausos wishes they could have protected them more, somehow. 

LAYER THREE: THOUGHTS

First Thoughts Waking Up: “Ausos is hungry”, “Ausos is going to have a good day!”, “Ausos should go check on their friends.”

What They Think About the Most: Friends/potential friends, food & drink, adventuring/travelling, their mysterious past

What They Think About Before Bed: “Where should Ausos go tomorrow? What should Ausos  do tomorrow? Who should Ausos visit? What should Ausos eat?”

What They Think Their Best Quality Is: They actually don’t think very highly of themselves so lmfao. If anything, they like to think they can be helpful to other people sometimes, and that’s nice.

LAYER FOUR: WHAT’S BETTER?

Single or Group interactions: Ausos loves group interactions-- the more people/friends the better! Though Ausos is perfectly fine in one on one interactions too. 

To be Feared or Respected: Ausos would much rather be Respected by their peers or by people at large. Ausos doesn’t want to inspire fear in anyone, that’s one of the last things they want, ever. Ausos wants to make friends, and you can’t make true  friends through fear/ 

Beauty, Brains or Brawn?: Ausos could subjectively have the first, definitely has the last, but the middle, Brains, is where they struggle. Ausos isn’t a moron, but their intelligence ranks at average, and they have far more “below” average moments than they do “above” average ones. Please don’t let this pokemon think too hard,

Dogs or Cats: Ausos loves all creates, how dare you make them try to pick just one. 

LAYER FIVE: DO THEY?

Lie: Ausos lies about as much as the average person or pokemon does, though when it comes to serious situations they more often opt to speaking the truth.

Have scars/birthmarks: Thanks to their regeneration abilities, Ausos has no scars, and likely never will. Ausos has perfect skin, be jealous.

Believe in Themselves: Not at all really. Ausos has a very small degree of belief in themselves, but they will act like confident and pretend that they do. 

Believe in Love: Ausos definitely believes in love, both platonic and romantic, but they have far more experience with the former as opposed to the latter.

Want Someone:  In the romantic sense? Ausos could go without-- they aren’t opposed to the idea of something happens, but they can live without another “partner”. Ausos does want friends, though, as many friends as they can have.

LAYER SIX: EVER?

Been on Stage: Nope, but they would certainly like the idea of being on stage. Being a lover of music, and of singing, they sometimes dream of putting on a show for hordes of pokemon or humans. Godspeed to that audience if that ever happens, though....

Done Drugs: Ausos likes to drink human alcohol but they don’t ever get drunk so, is it really a drug then? To them? I don’t think so.

Changed Who They Were to Fit In: Ausos, as far as they know, has always been Ausos, no more, no less. Ausos might try to contain themselves a bit when interacting with new people, but overall they are a very unfiltered being and they always will be. 

LAYER SEVEN: FAVORITES

Favorite Color: Gold, purple, black, pink,blue.

Favorite Music: Ausos enjoys most types of music, but they are very fond of the human music genres of synthwave, amd vaporwave. Rock music and it’s associated genre’s are also very interesting to Ausos. 

Favorite Drink: Ausos is a big fan of human alcohol, but besides that, they have a bad habit of indulging in soft drinks and just sugary drinks in general. 

Favorite Food: Sweets of all kinds occupy the forefront of Ausos eating habits, but when it comes to actual food, they are big on hotdogs, and hamburgers. Ausos has a horrible diet, someone really needs to regulate them. 

Favorite Sport: Ausos loves watching the  Pokéathlon, and one day wants to participate themselves, actually.

Favorite Season: Ausos prefers the winter, if only because its the most similar they can get to the conditions they felt while in space-- i.e, the extreme cold (though its really not extreme to them).

Favorite Holiday:  Christmas. Ausos loves the idea of getting presents for their friends or for people in general, to make them happy. Ausos also loves getting presents. 

LAYER EIGHT: AGE

Day Their Next Birthday Will Be: Ausos knows nothing about their birthday. Ausos has never even celebrated their birthday. Kind of hard to pinpoint when one’s birthday is when you’re a glorified space virus that got mutated by a laser over 20,000 years ago, and has been dormant for the past 19,000 or something years with most of their memory wiped ):

Age They Lost Their Virginity: Excuse you Ausos isn’t that kind of Pokemon. Though if they did lose it, they don’t remember, and it was probably 20,000+ years ago, anyway.

LAYER NINE: IN A POTENTIAL PARTNER (ROMANTIC OR OTHERWISE) THEY LOOK FOR

Best Personality: Loyalty, good morals, not being mean, that’s it really. 

Best Eye Color: Ausos doesn’t care.

Best Hair Color: Ausos doesn’t care 

Best thing to do With a Partner: Fun situations that result in lots of laughter, or close, intimate things, like hugs, or cuddling.

LAYER TEN: FINISH THE SENTENCE

They love: their friends // food // space

They hate: mean people // people who hurt their friends // people who hurt other people/pokemon out of malice

They feel: warm, curious, brave

They hide: some things, but they try not to.

They miss: thing’s they can barely remember. 

They wish: to do good by their friends and/or trainer.
