First draft of character concepts for that Dungeon Meshi x Gubat Banwa AU (format is canon name -> modified name -> polity of origin -> discipline/"class")
Laios and Falin — Lawi and Pana Thoudam (Gatusan / Mangangayaw and Mender respectively)
Marcille — Maria Cecilia "Maricel" Donato (Ba-e but she has a Virbanweño name because... you know ;) / Baril Witch secretly dipping into Flower Balyan)
Chilchuck — Tindak (Gatusan / Tigpana)
Senshi (Apumbukid / Kawal)
Izutsumi (Ba-e / Starshooter)
Kabru (Ba-e to Akai / Mangangayaw)
Thistle and the Golden Kingdom — Lirio and El Reino Dorado (Virbanwa / Flower Balyan)
Bonus:
Toshiro (Ba-e / Sword Saint)
Namari (Gatusan / Mangangayaw)
Mithrun and the Canaries — Misuari (Akai / Bladeweaver) and the Kanaryo
Lord Delgal and Yaad of Melini — Señor Delmar and Yaad of the House of Melindes (just some guys / Virbanwa)
Note: Most of the modified names were taken from the rulebook and chosen for phonetic similarity. Might have to change them up later for distinction's sake. I'm 50/50 on them so far.
#asian/arabic/hindi canon names are unchanged bc they fit the setting#gubat banwa as a setting really works for 'everyone pointing guns at each other' kind of worldbuilding without being racist necessarily#imperialist for sure. but not so much racist#feeling the urge to draw thistle/lirio as a flower balyan... i'm more confident portraying virbanweno characters since that relates to me#but also gubat banwa isn't literally southeast asia so artistic license can be taken. says so in the book lol#gubat banwa#roomba writes#dunmeshi#dmposting
