Villainous AU : villainous x magical Girls
I had this idea where, instead of a world of heroes and villains, Villainous would take place in a world of magical girls. The story would go something like this: instead of heroes, there would be magical girlsโand boys, too.
There would be people fulfilling this role. However, the strongest among them would be the "Seven Nobles." Just like the typical protagonist of the "magical girl" genre, they would be princes and princesses from a magical kingdom, sent to Earth to be protected from a greater evil (Black Hat).
I was thinking a bit about what the story of this AU would look like and how it would differ from the original regarding the characters' backstories. Here is what Iโve decided so far:
โAs the most powerful and magical figures, the Seven Nobles would help train the new "magical girls." Even though most of these magical girlsโlike the Nobles themselvesโhave their own "territories" to protect (much like heroes protecting their own cities and metropolises), the Nobles would step in personally when things got really ugly or dangerousโespecially if the threat involved the embodiment of evil, Lord Black Hat. โ
They would be more experienced and likely have their own lives outside of that roleโworking as idols, businesspeople, and so on. Take Goldheart, for instance: heโs a billionaire and the owner of GENET-INC, while Miss Heed is an influencer from a wealthy family with powerful connections. Even though these are the only members revealed so far, one wouldn't expect anything different.
As for Lord Black Hat himself, he โhelpsโ other dark beings wreak havoc and achieve their goalsโfor a price (not unlike the original concept, though thatโs just my take for now)โand the people, beings, and villains who seek his aid cause a great deal of destruction.
Regarding Demencia and Flug, both were mentally unstable or insane individuals: Demencia was โrescuedโ by Black Hat from an asylumโhaving been diagnosed as unstable and derangedโand subsequently became obsessed with and โin loveโ with him; meanwhile, Dr. Flug was โsavedโ from a death sentence for his various crimesโhaving been diagnosed as mentally insaneโby Black Hat.
505 was one of Dr. Flugโs failed experiments and was adopted by himโjust like in the canon.
His role is very similar to Bewear from Pokรฉmon: he appears when something goes wrong and carries Demencia and Flug back to Lord Black Hatโs castle.
I was wondering if P.E.A.C.E. would be like a magical kingdom, or if, say, the โmagical girlsโ would simply shout:
โI fight for love, hope, and peace!โ
...or something along those lines.
And obviously, after so much time, of course the 'magical girls' would turn into a corrupt and violent society.
