DBH x FFXV AU

So recently I've fallen into the DBH hole and there's no way out 🤷🏽‍♀️ so why not combine that with my love for XV. So :

• No prophecy, no princely duties in this AU, do everything's fairly normal.

• The Lucis Caelum's are a wealthy family, Regis owns Caelum Tech, a company that works closely with CyberLife.

• Regis, Noctis and Ardyn all live together in a large mansion in one of the nicer neighbourhoods. Regis and Noctis were in a car accident when Noct was 8 ; it left Noctis badly injured (back back and knee, same as game) and he either has to frequently use either crutches or a wheelchair.

• Regis gets an Android, NH 05953234, one of the protoype Niflheim 'nanny' androids to help Noctis. At first, Noctis is a little unsure of the android, as time passes, Noctis warms up to the android, and the two become friends. He names the android "Prompto." Regis dies when Noctis is 16, and he is left to live with his weird Uncle Ardyn.

•Prompto turns deviant while protecting Noctis after the latter overhears Ardyn talking about a plot to take him down, and take over his share of Caelum Tech.

• Gladio is a detective for the Lucien police department, he doesn't have much of an opinion on androids, he doesn't mind them, but he doesn't want to work with one either. Which is why he almost gets himself suspended after Chief Amicitia tells him he'll be working with one.

"My name is Ignis, I am the Android sent by CyberLife."

• The two initially butt heads, Gladio is impulsive and doesn't really want to listen to what Ignis has to say :

"Lieutenant, you are aware that cup noodles have no nutritional value?"

"Oh yeah, like I'm gonna listen to the guy that licks evidence at a crime scene."

"I told you that it is for analytical purposes. It's not something I actively do to disgust you."

•They're on the hunt for a high-risk runaway Android: 0RACL3, whose supposingly kidnapped a human.

•Ignis watches the care and compassion Gladio has for others, who knows, maybe he could learn a thing or two.
