#dreamshade!vou

[nashdoesstuff]

hellooo i did a thing for @thelunarsystemwrites’s superhero au [1/2] <33

this is my oc vou in the au!

they’re a superhero! their hero’s name is dreamshade, and they primarily fight crime dealing with acts of violence, bribery, and social injustice.

by day, they’re an overworked fashion designer for one of the largest brands in the city named vou asara. Their schedule includes various overtime days, but they usually escape for their superhero gig. nobody knows how they haven’t gotten fired yet.

LORE, STATS, AND MORE:

LORE:

Vou Asara was brought to life by a family of two, combining their SOUL magic to make them. They grew up as a normal kid, but had to go into foster care at 14 when one parent died unexpectedly and the other got into substances. Their adoptive parents were kind to Vou, and did whatever they could to help them reach their dreams, which was making it into the fashion industry. Upon getting a job opportunity abroad, they moved out of their town in the UK and into the big city, where they started out as a designer’s assistant for a large clothing label, making part-time pay.

When coming home one night after a shift, they stopped by a convenience store for a quick coffee and the evening newspaper. They saw an advertisement from a local pawn shop searching for employees while skimming through, and they decided to take it, as they needed extra money on the side to pay rent.

The first few days on that job were fine, though sometimes they came out of their shifts sluggish, with the smell of tobacco stuck in their senses. A human customer came, one day, offering up a ring that Vou hadn’t ever seen before. It was dashing— an amber stone was the center of attention on the piece of jewelry, with small other gems surrounding it. The amber shimmered beautifully in the sunlight, and Vou thought it could pair nicely with a dress they were designing in their studio. So they bought it from the person, then purchased it from the shop itself, taking it home excitedly.

They combined the ring with the dress and some other accessories immediately after getting it. They decided to wear this outfit to a fashion event with their boss at the time, and things went swell until they decided to start drinking. The alcohol made them go a bit bonkers, and they eventually collapsed at the after party, needing to be brought home by a barista named Atra. The issue was, when they had passed out, they shattered the large stone in the ring, releasing a magic that latched onto their bones. The magic caused their darkened bones to become more droopy, and a bit more of a pain to manage. However, they quickly found out they now had the ability to shapeshift and was quite flexible.

They used this to their advantage at first, picking at locks and safes to steal, but when they got promoted in their fashion job and left the stinking pawn shop, they decided to leave the criminal activity behind and use it for the better. They spent a good while making an alter ego, and in the end, they ended up with the hero, Dreamshade— a fighter whose job is to fight injustice in the city.

As of now, they have no nemesis, and are quite friendly with people unless they work with them. The barista that helped them is now their partner, and they know one another incredibly well and love each other very much.

Stats:

16 ATK 25 DEF 500 HP

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Dreamshade is strongest when they’re calm. Calmer atmospheres cause their goop to level and not droop excessively. Their biggest weakness is water and warm temperatures, as it interacts negatively with their goopy bones. They are strengthened in cooler temperatures.

Fun facts:

Vou still has their English accent and is quite proud of it.

They especially love petty crime and shutting that down.

They’re barely ever at home, unfortunately. Their partner is the only person who knows about Dreamshade being Vou, and they found out accidentally.

They typically only fight with appendages that they may produce on their back. They can have up to 6 at a time, but prefer to use only 2.

They’re in charge of the dress department in their building.

Their superhero outfit takes around 2 minutes to get into.

They do kind of want to join a superhero group, but aren’t sure how it would work…

Their alignment is neutral good.

and that’s pretty much it! i’m still working on tk, so keep an eye out for that!

vou is my oc, also known as dreamshade <3

anyways, i feel like that since vou is incredibly busy with fashion shows and stuff [because they’re a designer] they constantly need new makeup looks to compliment styles they and their department makes but since they’re always busy they don’t always have the time to make them

so maybe lust could like- assist with that? since they’re a make up salesman they have to know how this stuff works

and maybe in return vou could make outfits for them or something just for fun and the two bounce off of each others creative ideas

y’know,,, just two pals hanging and helping each other out <3

Yassss ✨

I actually want to redesign the Lust, because likeee it's a lil too plain for me lol. Also need to (enter a very hecked up backstory) but yeah, definitely!
