Welcome back to my bullshit

This time; Marc! Aka Argeiphontes, the Peacock Holder of this AU!

Don't ask why, the vibes just work, mk? Mk.

Also, yes, I drew his weird hair thingy as a ponytail. I'm not drawing that shit and you can fight me on it.

And now for the random bullshit facts

• Marc found the Peacock Miraculous in an alley and thought it looked nice, so he decided to take it with him. Meanwhile, Nathalie was freaking tf out cause she lost it.

• He freaked out and threw Duusuu out of a window when he first put the broach on and he popped out.

• His parents own a successful tech business overseas so he uses a voice changer to hide his identity better, using a different voice every patrol. It's also why he can 'sneak out', and be Argeiphontes whenever - his parents are never at their house so he doesn't need to sneak.

• Marc usually sends Sentimonsters (idk what he'd call them tbh) that look like him to help with fights and watches from a distance cause he doesn't want to get in LB and CN's way.

• He can glide thanks to the tail feathers on his costume and essentially has the Minecraft slow fall effect.

• His fan's feathers are extremely sharp and are basically like knives. He can also control them even if he isn't using them to create an Amok.

• He figured out Nathaniel and Marinette's identities pretty quick because.. come on. It's painfully obvious. He's still in denial about Adrien being Chat Noir, though, because of the horrendous puns.

• His 'mask' is actually moreso makeup than a mask. He doesn't intentionally conceal his face, it just happens to be covered by his hood most of the time. His reasoning is because he's basically invisible in his civilian life anyway, so nobody would even recognise him.

• When Marc finally joins the art club and has friends other than Marinette, there's a miscommunication that makes them think he hates heroes and treat him kinda crappy at first cause of it, which is what leads to Reverser in this AU. Luckily he doesn't have his broach on when he's akumatised. He kinda takes the 'hating heroes' thing and runs with it as an excuse as to why he isn't a hero on the rare occasion someone (*cough* Alix and Nath *cough*) starts connecting the dots.

• People can't really figure out if Argeiphontes is meant to be a hero or a villain. He's usually helping, but sometimes his Sentimonsters get out of control and start seemingly attacking people and destroying stuff for no reason. This is mostly because of the Peacock Miraculous being damaged, which he figured out and decides to start fighting himself and not with Sentimonsters.

• The 'childlock' is keeping Marc safe from the damaged Miraculous the most part, but he's still starting to get sick. Later down the line, he'll likely need a mobility aid of some sort like Nathalie had in canon but it isn't taking effect as fast because of the power limitations.

I will never forgive the MLB creators for not making Nath the fox holder. Alya's great and all but SERIOUSLY???

Anyway have my take on Nath's costume, expect to see more designs like this maybe, the rest of this post is just random stuff for this AU

• He's a little taller and looks a bit older when he's in his suit (part of a HC of mine about all the Miraculous holders looking a year or two older when powered up) but still one of the shortest miraculous holders in the team.

• His hair is a lot less vibrant and a bit longer. He also moves his fringe so he can actually see properly

• His eyes are the same colour, but his sclera is black. When he uses his Mirage/Illusion (not sure which it'd be tbh), his eyes turn a gold-ish, brown-ish colour like an actual fox.

• He came up with his name on the spot. For the first few weeks of having his Miraculous, he stayed in the shadows but had to step in when LB and CN were getting their asses handed to them and got caught by the press after the fight was over and they asked his name. He caught a glimpse of a perfume advert and blurted out 'Vixen' before he could think of anything else.

• He started drawing Ladybug and Chat Noir after one of the akumas and was about to draw their masks when he realised who they were and promptly started losing his shit. He was incredibly relieved when he found out that Luka also knew, later down the line.

• Since he knows LB and CN's identities, he covers for them when they need to go transform or get away. Adrien just thinks he's a really nice guy, Marinette started to find it suspicious after the fourth time and now thinks he's plotting something.

• Nath changed his costume about four times canonically. He outright refused to wear the latex suit, and settled on his current costume the day before he was revealed to the public.

Like, they argue sometimes over stupid stuff like the best ice cream flavour or whatever, but on the rare occasion they're actually FIGHTING, everyone starts losing their minds expecting the end of the world or whatever
