#hetalia au

[artistically-hershie]

The idea of a monster hunter cross over is old. I thought of it back in high school (about 5 years ago but never ventured on it)

But with recent help and games inspiring me I started doubling down on it.

So here's a little fun fact.

About 4 years ago i doodled Ivan with a small flock of downy crakes because i adore them.

((The old drawing))

When ever I see them in world i will stop what I'm doing and capture them.

Hence why I have 150+ of them when they only show up in a small group.

Ever since then it's been a running joke that Ivan has a ton of downy crakes in his room.

And he adores them / has one travel with him on small expeditions.

Edit: you can also see one hiding on his coat in the recent bunch of AUs drawing and on my banner if you look ;)

The original concept for the Frankenludwig AU (2022)

I noticed that in my music there is a lot of metal bands from different countries, so I came up with a hetalia AU, where they are all metalheads, let's call it metalia 🤘

I start with England, for which I was inspired by "Iron Maiden"

Old Hetalia Inception AU that @thecircusmonstereight and I recently remembered and I felt like drawing something for 😴

[nyhne]

"Yeah, baby, you’re looking at the new head honcho of Ristorante Rosso right here.”

I commissioned @bubblyernie to illustrate a scene from my fic Il Lupo Rosso, which is the PruAus-centered prequel to Ristorante Rosso! And now that the specific chapter this scene takes place in has been posted, I can finally share this amazing art. It looks perfect! You can find their commission info HERE.

Quick plug for my fic: Years before the events of Ristorante Rosso take place, Gilbert is simply the assistant manager at a quirky Italian restaurant in Minneapolis. For years he's kept to a strict rule that separates work from his dating life, but one day a customer walks in that threatens to make Gilbert a fool of his own sworn oath. Human AU; set in 2015 Minneapolis. Finished but currently still being uploaded by chapter.

Alfred:

A Wyverian raised in a rider village off the coast of the Primal Forest. This isolated tribe is known for their connection with Ludroths. They are one of the last remnants of the seafolk along the coast with some residing in Jumbo. In his own rite of passage in finding an egg to hatch for his very first monstie to bond with, we came across an abandoned egg that had a very strange marking, none the elders have seen before. Hatching it revealed to be a Tobi-Kadachi…

a pregnant Female Tobi-Kadachi being shipped from the New World for research was lost and before being hunted in fear of an invasive species had her egg, only for it to be found by Alfred.

Being raised in an isolated village, he would eventually want to explore the world beyond the jungle, only to come across hunters and the guild. The guild’s knowledge and connection with these secret tribes of riders was already fragile, so most hunters had never seen a person on the back of a monster before. Alfred as curious as them wonders why these people are out hunting these monsters by “authorization” and “by a guild.”

Alfred growing ever more curious wanted to know more about this guild and asked if he could follow these hunters. The Hunters are confused ((not only by a language barrier)) but don’t decline nor accept, instead asking him to wait as they’d ask their commander. 

Eventually, he is met with a strangely familiar face; a Commander from Loc Lac named Arthur. The first person besides his brother he has seen that is a Wyverian like himself. The commander asks what is it that Alfred wishes to learn following them. 

“I want to understand…” “I want to explore the world beyond the forest”

He would be quickly introduced to the guild but he would have to not have his monstie around until he understood their environment more. Arthur had Alfred learn with two human hunters from Val Habar, Feliciano and Romano. The two brothers had a lot of explaining to do for this rider including a few language lessons.

Ivan:

A Half-Wyverian born from a victory-fare after beating Shara Ishvalda in the New World. His mother is a Large and Elegant Wyverian from a hidden village in the farthest reaches of Hoarfrost. His father was a renowned hunter who was part of a lineage of charge blade wielders who are known for their technique and strength. Whenever Ivan’s mother passed away his father saw only his mother in him, and besides looking like a runt he wanted nothing to do with his son. Then to see he had small but noticeable traits of Wyverian features on him made him stick out like a sore thumb to his father, so he made him feel like an outcast regularly. His only comfort was the grandmaster palico chef, Me-Mow, who offered her own grandson Alexander as company. That was his first and only friend for the years to come.

Ivan would be thrown into harsh trials and forced to wield the charge blade, as if he attempted to try any other weapon his father would destroy it or throw it away. Being thrown in the snow a day with no weapon to survive with what nature provided, fighting wild wing-drakes with only what would be assumed as a neglected charge-blade, and other tedious trials.

Eventually, someone would step in and try to aid Ivan while his father wasn’t looking. A hunter who helped his father during the expedition of the fifth fleet, named Bjorn. He revealed himself to be a good friend of his father but swore he wouldn’t tell a word of his aid.

“This isn’t training, let me show you how to truly survive the wilds”.

Years pass and he is one of the top hunters to respond to quests that many would refuse or need help with. Growing out his hair to hide his ears and even on occasion wearing a helmet to hide his identity on the hunt. If he was not helping with a tagged monster he was out on the field researching and examining the monsters or endemic life for his own curiosity or the guild. The guild acknowledged his hard work, even hearing it from across the seas in the Old World. A commander requests an audience with Ivan and even gives him a hunt to prove his worth in front of him. Meeting expectations swiftly, and hearing rumors from hunters nearby, the commander is quite pleased. He offers Ivan a position in the guild in the Old World. 

Immediately Ivan takes the offer as he wishes to leave this place behind and maybe even study the monsters outside of the New World.

There are segments of Monster Hunter Rise that inspired segments of the story, but honestly, it’s still being brainstormed if we even wanna add it.

As teased we have added Bjorn, Feliciano, Romano, and Arthur.

For the other cameo characters, some of their roles are still under discussion but we are excited to reveal them.

For those wondering as to what weapons they use.

Arthur: Bow

Feliciano: Insect-Glaive

Romano: Light-Bow Gun

Bjorn: Hunting Horn
