Wip stuff for the pokemon AU we been cooking

Once again ty tons for helping me figure stuff out for the Aio bros ❤️

I believe all that's missing now are: Milo, Shura, Camus and Aphrodite from the classic setting!

ND stuff still has a lot to get through! But I'm really happy to be able to share with you guys all this AU stuff, that I felt like I couldn't quite do so! 🙌

Now that my notebook is back and functional, I can get back to doing their spriteworks.

Finally returning here to do some more rambling!

As always @doodlingwren taken from one of her commentary!

"His team is made mostly by Dark Types, I tried to guess once saying it would have been more of a Ghost Type Trainer, since the Sekishiki Meikaiha thing and all the sending people to the Underworld thing, but I don’t mind it." - here

Why was Dark type chosen for DM?

Here's a Pokemon trivia, in case you didn't know-- In Japanese, Dark types are called the "evil" type. That's why most dark type pokemon are ruthless predators type of creatures, or most of its moves have this theme going for low-blow-type of moves (e.g.: Fake tears, Nasty plot, Taunt, Thief, Crunch, Sucker punch & so on.).

Meanwhile in a stark contrast. Ghost types are most of the time represented as being trickster wandering souls, rather than full on evil (although, there are some species that are described as vengeful spirits or just straight up dangerous to humans [e.g.: Bannette, Cofagrigus, Gengar, Spiritomb & many others.]).

Your assumptions aren't wrong about ghost types also being a good pick for the cancer golds! The key difference is in their characteristics and personalities. That's why Deathtoll is ND's ghost type specialist, whereas DM is the dark type one (bc of his role and personal views/philosophy towards pokemon. DM is meant to be aligned and involved with Saga's schemes. Only powerful and strong pokemon matter to him. He gives clear signs that he treats his pokemon, as tools of raw power and not much else [he wields a whipe, which in early pokemon art design, is a telltale sign of how rough a trainer was to their pokemon].).

I'll also take this as the perfect opportunity to get ahead and say that Omega's Cancer gold (Schiller), also won't have the ghost type as his specialty. I still haven't settled on it (bc I still haven't had the chance to put much thought into Omega's setting, as I'm writing this), but he's likely going to be a poison-type specialist.

This is for the "End of year WIP meme" ⤴️

But you 🫵 have to ✨️pay✨️ the Aldemu tax hehehe 💖✨️😼

For a moment I thought I was out of AldeMu stuff and really thought "Damn you got me there"🧍

But then I remembered these two sketches, I'm likely going to be remaking the first one, but these two are going to be illustrations for my AldeMu doujinshi (I will eventually get there).

Muvian rambles, brought u by @doodlingwren 's questions:

Lil Dratini! By the way, why Mu’s team (or in general for the Muvians) is made of Dragon Pokémon? Beside the fact that it is connected by their culture in this AU, what made you choose them instead of, I don’t know, Psychic or Fairy Type? I need the LORE!!! 🤯😳

Pulls the nerd emoji akSUALLY

Really good question!!

In the games Dragon types are often described as mystical like creatures (it's not a coincidence that until the introduction of Fairy types, the dragon type was heavily attached to Legendary pokemon). They are wielded only by highly skilled trainers (E4 member Drake/Drasna, Champion Cynthia), or by characters that have some cultural/historical/long running connection to Dragon types (See Lance and Clair coming from the same clan seen in Blackthorn city, the Draconids tribe with its connection to Rayquaza in Hoenn, Drayden and Iris being the ones well in the know about the Legend surrounding Reshiram and Zekrom, amongst many others).

With that in mind, I felt like it was the most suitable type for muvians. You're correct in Fairy types also being a possibility. But, the Dragon type has a different kind of worldbuilding that I felt like, fit them better. I never considered Psychic types for them, because of the overlap with Shaka.

The tribe's location is also VERY important and relevant. Muvians originate from Sinnoh, and region that carries a heavy theme of history, and ancient times for the pokemon world. Even though, there only being only one native, dragon type species in the Garchomp line (which makes sense, because it's the coldest region we have seen thus far). The tribe is also located somewhere within Mt. Coronet which would also ensure that, not everyone is even aware of their existence.

Now, here's another sacrifice from Sts lore I have to make. Because, outside of Az, who is like that due to the effects of the weird weapon he used in a war that's explained in the XY games, we don't really have any immortal beings. So that means, Alde and Mu can grow old & happily together and I wont be sobbing over it Muvians in this AU are mostly common humans.

Mostly, because I also mentioned they also should have a foot in Aura reading and use. A concept that was introduced in Sinnoh, by the likes of Riley and the Lucario line (it really wasn't expanded on the games, but the anime and manga had a field trip with it). So, through that, Mu retains a form of telekinesis and telepathy. It's this ability that ensures muvians close connection, to dragon types.

Taking mental notes to draw Shion soothing down a Kommo-o/Mu soothing down a Roaring Moon/Kiki soothing down a Draconzolt.

Gold Amazon - Genderbend AU Brainstorming

See I have other AUs guys

Posting here some of the rambles I've done with @ectogusher / @doodlingwren and @awesomesauce2929 !

On this post, I'll be mainly focused on the gold saints -> Amazons.

ND Amazons -

I've only really got to think of Genderbend for only a handful of golds. And one of the main reasons to it is bc, I like to think that the 18th century is the first time Amazons make it to the highest ranking in Athena's army. Which translates into not all golds have been genderbent as a result;

The golds I have genderbent:

Shion;

Dohko;

Kaiser;

Deathtoll wouldn't be genderbent per se, it just means they would present themselves a lot more feminine leaning. They are still NB in essence, it's just the way they prefer to refer to themselves changes ever so slightly. DT also wouldn't be referring to themselves as an Amazon;

Historically speaking, Athena's army has always been really harsh on women, there's a very apparent bias to saints & male warriors (which becomes all the more apparent their trainings, with Amazons' feeling quite lackluster compared to their male counterparts.). So, the odds have almost always been stacked up against them.

Despite all the odds, for the very first time in the 18th century, at least 3 Amazons filled the shoes of the Army's elite. It was a huge leap and progress, but it still didn't bring in any immediate changes to the army's structure.

And even when Sanctuary had a woman as its Pope, something entirely new, in Shion. It also didn't mean she brought any significant changes, to the way Amazons/women were treated, even less tried to do anything about their trainings.

Suikyo would also have been genderbent into an Amazon, I'm just not touching on her here bc the focus rn is on Golds.

Classic

The 20th Century is the very first line up to be entirely filled out, by Amazons. Something that never happened before. Especially considering that, some of the girls were originally going to be drafted to the Saintia roles. BUT seeing there wouldn't be any men, to take on the role of saints. All the 20th century's appendixes were put into the role of Amazons.

Ironically, the first one that would bring any real changes would be none other than Saga, while she was disguised as the Pope. Utilizing her newfound position and power, she sought out to create a field that mainly benefitted herself above all else. But, it also ended up benefiting the other Gold Amazons.

Some changes included giving the girls ampler access to knowledge (letting them reach the same level as their counterparts), continue their trainings, give them more freedom/lee-way for themselves. Saga, whether she saw it coming or not, was crucial to elevate the amazons importance even though her motivations were selfish ones.

The Mask rule is still as crucial as ever for them. Going as far as for them having to cover their faces with anything, when they aren't wearing their cloths.

Some opt to wear headscarfs, whereas others tend to get creative with it (e.g.:Aldebaran keeps her motorcyclist helmet on almost at all times).

Omega

The 21st century saw the return of a handful saints amongst the high ranks, BUT considering how a good chunk of it were brought on board during Mars' reign. Former Mars followers find themselves in a grey area (but not for long, given that most of them were killed in the confrontation against Kouga and his friends).

Pope Harbinger in a way, follows Saga's steps to bring even bigger changes towards the amazons. Basically, expanding even more on what Saga may have started.

The Mask rule is still prevalent, especially for ceremonies and special dates, BUT it's no longer being as enforced as it once used to be.
