#ppau headcanons

[spiritblossoming]

ppau headcanons except it's my universe so i don't think they qualify as headcanons (part 1??)

half of these are thanks to @aryasage as usual :3

Meiko and EDG have a ridiculous amount of fun figuring out his shape-shifting abilities, even if it does come with a few near-death experiences. He turns into a fly exactly ONCE without telling anyone it's him, and Jiejie almost murders him with an electric flyswatter. They silently agree to never talk about the incident again, and from then on, when Meiko turns into bugs, he makes it obvious that it's, you know, him.

Now they have trust issues because that potted plant in the bathroom probably isn't him but what if it IS? Is that a regular spider or is it Meiko fucking with them? The world may never know.

Perkz has two closets, one for his normal clothes and one for his Xayah clothes, since it's kind of hard to wear normal shirts when he has two giant wings attached to his back. The whole inconvenience of having wings is part of the reason why he goes bothers getting rid of them before becoming a mid laner again (although after the events of "brute force and style combine"... he's probably going to have to do that again.) Mikyx gave him a few shirts to start him off, and then taught him how to make his own.

Xayah and Rakan Summoners have a lot of struggles with clothing and also sitting in cars or laying on their backs. They can fly, though, so cars are kind of obsolete anyway. It's really depressing for them to see a shirt that they really like only to remember Oh Fuck I Have Wings. CoreJJ learns to stop saying that out loud when he sees a nice jacket on a mannequin, mentions how much he wishes it had wing holes, and barely has the time to keep Tactical from turning it into an impromptu DIY project.

Gumayusi is really, really fucking good with a bow/crossbow. The bow was his first weapon, but he switched to guns after seeing Doublelift's customized one. He learns to master the crossbow when he realizes that both of Keria's past ADCs, Teddy and Deft, used it as their weapon of choice, and isn't about to be third place in anything.

Speaking of Teddy and Gumayusi, sometime after the events of "someday both of us are leaving here", Gumayusi manages to beat out Teddy for the high score in the T1 shooting simulator. With Keria cheering him on from behind the training room door, of course.

Hey. Wanna talk about your ocs?

yes  🥺

i always want to talk abt my ocs so if you see anyone specific and want me to talk about them more. i am always here

ive conveniently marked which characters are for roleplays because i have my fingers in so many pies. some of these were used for multiple rps like aglais and petrichor. heres short summaries of all of them under the cut bc its long

- AGLAIS is being used for that skywing roleplay im never in Oops! I got lost. but i love algais a lot! theyre a silk/skywing who was raised underground with out wind so their wings are all fucked up! they have light flamesilk, and are obsessed with resolving conflict and making sure everyones happy. a sunny type character yknow.

- BRISK was a character for sundown-falls on dA, idk if its active or not! im not there at least, ever. ive never used her!! idk her personality really, i liked imagining her as manic and cheerful

- BUCKTHORN and skipping a few characters HAWTHORN [and seer/sear] were for an arc 3 rewrite i had planned but probably scrapped because uhh things hard. its an au where clearsight has more leafwing partners than silkwing so there are thornwings instead of hivewings. itd be focusing more on the societal implications of a silkwing oppressive society, ft the headcanon that the hivewing mind control was a nightwing power. hawthorn has it too, previously shes very faithful to her society up until shes almost murdered for trying to investigate a case of silkwing puppetry and assassination. ah!! it follows her adventures within the underbelly of pantala, and then the second book wouldve been about buckthorn, who was always anxious, because he has a lil bit of mindreading, and he has firey palms. he goes to pyrrhia to try and ask for help, and turns into a suicide bomber. its very half baked i just wanted to make dragons

- REDACTED for DRIFT SPOILERS

- HARLEQUIN is just jewels dad. hes fucked up bro!!

- HARUSPEX was for moonborn!! i never really got into him, i love his concept, but i dont like rp where characters know each other before starting. the conceit of moonborn is three of a handful of dragons were going to fly up to the moons and no one knows what happens to them then, so hes terrified of socializing or getting close to anyone because of that. hes like.. protective and helpful but isolated. quiet.

- JEWEL!!!! might be my favorite character!!!!!!! like sometimes i forget about him or languish about writing him so so bad but seriously im so nostalgic for him and love him so much. he was for the destined, his father harlequin was a doomsday prepper [yknow like, bunkers ‘ the worlds ending soon’] before the burning and is vindicated when the world does start ending, lol. hed been training jewel to take up the mantle as fucking insane doomsday person, i really wanted to get him more of a hypochondriac and survivalist but more often than not he just was timid and friendly.. at the start of the rp!! he made good friends with wisteria and hexapod :) and then people started fighting 24/7 and fucking dying and so jewel becomes a cannibal because hes terrified of being weak and dying, he wants to prove himself worthy of being there + a sprinkling of harlequins “eat people to absorb their powers/cannibalism isnt bad” mentality. jewels kind of unhinged for the rest of the rp but still holds his friendship with wisteria and hexapod close <3 i dont think he ever did anything important or useful. but he was there!

- ORIUS was for PPAU on dA, im not active on it anymore lol! orius is FUCKING BUFF AS HELL!! shes just a huge lady and her shtick is that she is dumb as rocks and suffocatingly selfless, she loves doing work for other dragons. her parents were neglectful so she just goes into towns and does busywork for random dragons, getting super buff because she has nothing better to do and she hopes it makes people treat her better, she just loves helping others because its.. all she knows how to do to get any affection. she busts a drug smuggling ring and gets enrolled into a big cool school :]

- PETRICHOR was for dawning rain and i am hoping to reuse him for animus academy!! theyre a dramatic actor rainwing, i remember when i submitted them i added aside from their app that says theyre naive and stupid that they are literally just lying and actually pretty smart and malicious. theyre like acting childish and silly and daft as a way to get what they want and a smoke screen to commit crimes. in dawning rain they got kidnapped for 4 days and no one noticed and they were bitter about it for fucking ever. they made gay with a nightwing, tranquility, but the writer had their stuff taken away :[ petriquil 4life.

- POISON IVY was for PPAU also! they have evil fucked up leafspeak that kills plants, and theyre a paid assassin. they used to steal to survive and kill people he had beef with so he was like wait a minute. i can do both. so he affiliates with good dragons to kill bad dragons while pursuing his hobby in baking :) hes very aloof, a lil flirty, just friendly and casual.

- lets just toss puddle, nimbus, crow, and caiman into one category; this was for my roleplay, the royal division! the conceit being that the skywing and mudwings had affiliated with the other tribes [aka; took them over with force] so now the tribe is split in two, except for a collection of dragons specially chosen by a nightwing prophet. all she knows is that youve got to deal with it, and deal with it they do! ill not give details about the twist; it might just be reused for something special coming up soon... oh yeah, rouge was there too! but rouge isnt a trd character;

- ROUGE is one of my oldest characters, for my FIRST wof roleplay, refuge and rogues, run in 2018!! rouge is a skywing animus, abandoned to KISMET and WEED [kismet is my oldest wof oc! her first name was chameleon because it was before i read escaping peril], kismet and weed are part of a problem solving group called refuge where they go around the continent fixing things for dragons. or taking in eggs if you dont want them, i guess. rouge is a BAD BOY!!! hes like a rebellious teen so he splits off and makes his own version of refuge but its EVIL and for BAD BOYS LIKE HIM!! well, theyre not evil- they still help people, but CHAOTICALLY! like with CRIME! if someone took something of yours refuge would barter with them to get it back; rogues would just steal it.

- WEISS and SUPERNOVA were for the PLANNED but currently UNPLANNED sequel to the royal division, titled the rising occult! WEISS is actually not a wof oc- hes a different version of one of my mains, still named weiss! with the last word in the title you could just guess what its about. but, hey, dawning rain crowd, i had the rising occult planned in 2019 so IM the first wof cult person, HA!

- WHIRLWIND was for THE LEGENDS, i never participated just because i felt like i did not belong. but whirlwind was going to be a petrichor type character, but genuinely incompetent. theyre a rainwing who pretends to be other tribes to get things, mostly love. very silly and stupid! they have rot in their brain.

UNLISTED: is CADDIS for shattered seas, who was a cowboy pirate!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seawing/rainwing, when he was young he hung out with the wrong crowd and owed a debt with his dearest friend- the fucking weirdos who he owned the debt to had them pay in BLOOD! one of them had to die. caddis’ friend wouldnt kill him, no, but they snapped his horns off and took his eye off and pretended that caddis had died. so caddis spends his days HUNTING HIS FRIEND DOWN! and refusing to let anyone else get so close to him. i never got to unveil that in rp, instead caddis appeared, had sex, and then presumably died as the rp ended

and extras;

these are characters for my old rp, the animus code, which is currently on hiatus! they and a lot of the setting and lore will be lifted and reused for animus academy!

We can call it Davey Leggy or Leggy Hooey, I’m fine as long as there’s leggy in it.

Also someone beat me to it as far as posting it but y’know.

I’m in love with the headcanon in which instead of a potato, Daniel stuffs DaVID into a smaller version of himself (Davey). However, he is also given malfunctioning legs. Instead of being annoyed by it, he just embraces it.

So here’s some LEGGY HOOEY.

Also the splits are hard.

I was just gonna submit it but sadly I couldn’t because I had two pictures instead of one.

PPAU and the fabulous leggy go to @portalportalau!

[n1ghtwr1ter]

Feeling crappy bc S4 of The loo. Send me asks or headcanons or whatever about Badlands or PPAU and I'll answer em.

[spiritblossoming]

ppau headcanons except it’s my au #2 ft. Meiko

As usual thank you to @aryasage for listening to my ramblings and adding yours. 1 braincell is better than none.

Meiko finds out he can shape-shift by accident, just a little after the events of “one day you’ll wish you hadn’t”. He’s brushing his teeth or something, spacing out, worrying about this and that, when he just casually imagined what he would look like with a different haircut and when he looks back in the mirror he suddenly has that haircut.

He screams. Loud. It takes him 30 minutes to change back and figure out what’s going on and 2 hours to convince Scout that he was just imagining the scream of pure terror that just came from the bathroom.

“Eh you know what, I haven’t slept in 3 days. I was probably imagining things.”

“…what did you do to make Jiejie mad this time”

Viper is the first to find out about this because Meiko figures out that he somehow heals better as a cat. I have been informed by AryaSage that there is a scientific basis for this. The more you know…

Shape-shifting is really hard to master because unlike people like Canyon, Meiko has way more alternate forms and they’re not a true part of him like Canyon’s lion form is. Meiko spends a lot of time practicing (with the help of his teammates).

Meiko transforms into Jiejie and immediately tries to fool his team into thinking he really IS Jiejie, but to his surprise, no one believes him for a second.

“What gave it away?”

“Bro you forgot the SCAR”

Jiejie, from the corner: also my nose isn’t that big wtf Meiko

Meiko absolutely uses his powers to fuck with his teammates 24/7 whether by turning into them or by turning into animals

Flandre is forced to call an emergency Team Meeting to get Meiko to chill out because Jiejie wakes up to a tarantula on his face and almost has a heart attack. (Thus almost giving Scout a heart attack.) Everyone tries their Absolute Best to keep a straight face on the entire time.

EDG end up with a new inside joke in which any of them (including Meiko himself once he hears about it) point to any remotely living thing and go "MEIKO??"

There are a lot of sleep-deprived discussions.

Jiejie: So if Meiko eats beef and then turns into a cow, is he a cannibal? Scout: Well he's not really a cow in his heart right? Jiejie: Since when has that mattered? Would a furry eating a human not be cannibalism then? Viper: Holy shit it is 7am would you two shut up I'm trying to sleep Scout: well at least you CAN sleep Jiejie: Viper: Scout: Flandre: Meiko: Okay wait but Jiejie has a point—

They try to keep Meiko's abilities on the down low until Worlds, at which point he goes nuts on their opponents for the Element of Surprise.

Combined with Flandre's smoke and Jiejie's mist, they can easily separate team members, at which point Meiko pretends to be an opponent's injured teammate. As soon as they get close, he stabs them. As you do.

Even if he can't imitate an opponent perfectly, seeing a scuffed version of yourself on the other side of the battlefield usually stunlocks you for a second or two.

Very few people figure out that Meiko is a shape-shifter without fighting him a lot, but some people do figure it out.

At Perkz's wedding, Meiko crawls under a table, and a second later, a cat comes out and jumps onto Viper. Team Liquid are understandably confused by this development.

Meiko puts on a one-man play at some point just for his teammates. They all almost die laughing before the end of the first act.

Once he gets better at it, he starts shifting almost on instinct, which often makes it hard for him to hide what he's thinking about.

"Meiko stop worrying about Viper he'll be fine in Korea"

"who said I was worrying about Viper???"

"you are LITERALLY Viper right now don't even try me"

"oh fuck"

[aryasage]

meiko can also turn into other people. this is half the reason flandre calls him a "copycat" in tncfl. (the other is, well. cat. obviously.) this leads to many Shenanigans (and also. Angst. but we'll get into that Later) with him mimicking his own teammates. it's also very handy on the battlefield even if he's still working on his vocal impressions. (look magical signatures are Hard to fake.)
