#xenoblade 3 au

[saline-coelacanth]

So I briefly mentioned an AU that my brain has been working on when I made my Mythra Kid post, and I figured I should probably make a post actually talking about it (Or at least the basic premise of it)

First of all I'm gonna say this AU is pretty self indulgent because my brain basically went "What if Zeke was in Xenoblade 3?" And yeah, there's the basic premise. It's an au where Zeke and Pandoria ended up outside of Origin after Aionios came to be. Eventually the two of them find Mythra's son, Milton, which is how he's involved in the AU.

For all the stuff that happens during the actual events of 3 and Future Redeemed, I still need to figure some things out because I need to rewatch cutscenes and all that so I can remember the order of events and all the things that happen. The main ideas I've been able to flesh out are things that happen before Future Redeemed.

But yeah, that's the basic idea, I'll probably end up talking about more details if I continue posting about this au. I just wanted to explain things a bit because people seemed to like Milton's design and if I post more about him, it's probably gonna be in regards to this au. I also don't have a proper name for the au yet, I've been calling it the "Zeke in 3 AU" but I feel like I could come up with a better name for it, I just haven't thought of anything yet.

I saw you were a Xenoblade fan so could you throw chibi Akito into more Xenoblade locations?

➥ chibi akito is going to the world of xenoblade chro- aaahhhhh!! land in the water! land in the water!

➥ phew, that could’ve been bad!

➥ akito, you’re going to freeze like that!

➥ ah, that’s better! let’s enjoy the pretty sights!

is it working

I wonder if outside of Aionios Sena is the tallest in her friend group at the time the intersection happens, because she’s most likely a normal blade summoned from a core crystal at the height sh is in game, whereas the others like Mio and Miyabi are either human or blade children and haven’t fully hit their growth spurt yet.

Of course you could argue the blade summoned often slightly adapts to the driver, and seeing as in my headcanon Miyabi is Sena’s driver, she may have manifested more like in height to Miyabi.

xbc3 off-seer toya sketch

ramblings under cut

!!spoiler warning for all three of the numbered xenoblade games!! mostly the first two actually. i imagine if any reads this, it will be a curious pjsk fan who doesn’t really care about xenoblade, but proceed at your own risk.

…

i have ideas for all of the pjsk characters i just don’t have the patience to draw them all out.

i wanted all the natural pairs set up by the game to be one agnian/one kevesi so they could be ouroboros. they’re also probably all off-seers or wannabe off-seers because that’s really the only music in aionios.

i’ll at least talk about vbs here.

toya is the off-seer for a kevesi colony. he has a pretty high percentage of high entia blood, so he still has pretty big headwings (compared to others in 3, not pure blood high entia) but they match his hair color. for some reason his dad feels like the type who would have been a high entia blood purist, but toya made it to aionios somehow so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

akito is agnian and would become toya’s ouroboros partner. he’s also an off-seer, but like mio he probably got drafted into the role due to his prowess when he really just wanted to be a great fighter and make it to his homecoming. he’s gormotti and has the cat ears. also face stripes. they might just be a nia thing but i think they’re fun. i imagine you don’t see his core crystal much like taion, but he could have a flesh eater’s core crystal.

if i’m remembering correctly, agnian colonies commonly have two off-seers, so an would be in the same colony as akito. i feel like she definitely has to have the fire hair like sena and brighid. like she’s already got the gradient, it’s perfect. i don’t imagine her having a peculiarly shaped core crystal, but she could have ether lines like sena as well. she probably is more naturally in tune with off-seeing than akito, but he has the edge in combat. they probably has a similar relationship to canon where they poke fun at each other and argue, but they take care of each other when things get rough.

for kohane i think she comes from a different kevesi colony than toya. her colony’s off-seer just died unexpectedly, so kohane took up the mantle as the new off-seer for the colony. maybe toya’s colony is nearby so he helped train her like crys with noah. i know there’s like a kevesi off-seer school/training program but i don’t care. kohane is just a basic homs like noah. an is her ouroboros partner, too

[edit:]

as far as combat stuff, i think kohane is an attacker, an would be an attacker, but in more of a debuff-y way, akito a dodge tank (i picture him similarly to mio), and toya could be a healer.

i think the flutes are customized to the off-seer in game? so everyone gets a custom one + a charm. toya’s charm is a wing but i might change it later. akito’s is a lightning bolt. an’s is a star. not sure about kohane yet either but maybe she’ll just have a ring similar to noah since she’s new to off-seeing.

also thinking toya maybe caught the eye of a consul while in off-seer and was taught violin. i’m not sure if off-seer flutes are made specifically somehow that allows the special motes to rise, but i say toya’s violin is customized and it can raise motes.

maybe the way toya’s dad is worked in is that he’s the consul (tho not literally toya’s bio dad then) that teaches toya violin, and then toya has a whole arc about coming to terms with the fact consuls are bad because he was close to one.

he’s temporarily at kohane’s colony teaching her when the whole ouroboros thing happens.

toya’s instrument could be worked into his blade like glimmer, but i kinda like the idea that it’s an actual instrument not made for battle in anyway. and it means he gets to stand over a battlefield and play a haunting violin melody.

But what if the roles were reversed?

Casual Consul X

Once again thinking about Mio's greed and desire for self-determination and frustration with being denied choices and how her driving motivation of Being Allowed To Be The One To Fuck Up Her Own Life would make for an excellent dramatic core on its own and being like "c'mon man we can't replay XC3 just for the catgirl, you know you've got better things to do"

HatchetBlade AU chapter 1: The Ouroboros Awaken

Hear that, Tumblr, Myth wants something a bit meatier/ref

the Hatchetfield x Xenoblade 3 AU that no one asked for but me :))

Enjoy shenanigans, angst and flutes :)))

Noah: So, that outfit, is that your blade form?

Mio: Yeah, just one more thing separating me from the Mio of Aionios.

Noah: That’s an interesting way to look at it.

Mio: Yeah, it’s a strange situation all around and I just y’know like being the same me I’ve always been despite all that Aionios stuff. Neither of us is bound by fate to anything, let alone each other.

Noah: In other words, you can do your stuff and I can do mine, makes sense.

Mio: I mean after all, neither of us asked to get dragged into all this, but that’s just how things happened, and now it’s over and all these events were effectively reverted, when origin rebooted
