MSA/RE Village AU where the gang stars as the 4 lords
Lewis = Alcina Dimitrescu
In his case, it turns into Lord Pepper. He fits Alcina’s role the best because, not only is Lewis the tallest of the group, but, similar to Alcina, he is very showy and very dramatic. Also, castle’s and mansions have some things in common, like they’re both very fancy, and pretty big, etc. In old European times, Lewis would definitely have an extravagant castle. I think Lady Dimitrescu’s whole motif fits Lewis extremely well. The deadbeats could fill in for the daughters quite well, although they won’t be introduced as his children in this AU. Just his closest servants or whatnot.
Or Lord Kingsmen. Heisenberg has the whole metal thing going for him AND he has created robots and the like, showing that he has a knack for robotics. Given that Arthur is a mechanic and ALSO has a knack for robotics and all that, it fits perfectly. While Arthur, canonically, is a much more anxious individual and lacks the confidence Heisenberg has (at least in the social area gsgsgd), I think if he were in the place of a mutated villain, being a cocky bastard would definitely be a part of Arthur’s villain persona. Also I think he’d look cool in Heisenberg’s outfit.
Lady Yukino. This one is less based in the abilities Donna has, and more of the general feel/idea, if you get what I mean. Donna’s house is the creepiest part of the game, and given Vivi’s interest in the paranormal and horror, if she were a villain, she would 100% scare the shit out of her victims, play with them some. I can see her being into creepy dolls and stuff like that. She would put up much more of a fight than Donna did in the actual game though, so going through her would be more difficult, and probably even more scary than it was in Village. Also, this is more of a random thought that I think would be interesting, but perhaps Angie could be replaced with a doll version of Shiromori instead? They’re both made out of wood, and Angie seems to have her own personality, so doll Shiromori would too. Idk, I think it would be neat, and a way to integrate Shiro into the story.
Mystery = Salvatore Moreau
Lord Mystery. Kitsune are shapeshifters, and can shift into a human form or human-looking form. So since Mystery is an animal that has the capability of looking like a human, I think it fits. I’m imagining some sort of fox-human monstrosity for him. Since Moreau’s case is a fish-human monstrosity, the part animal theme stays consistent with Mystery. Also I definitely think Mystery would be a whiny, self-pitying bastard if he were a villain. Very vindictive and manipulative and stuff. Fits him perfectly. Not second-handedly saying Moreau annoys me in the game, I actually really like his character as a villain, it’s just a bit of ire from canon Mystery’s absolutely tomfoolery in MSA leaking out since Mystery, y’know… isn’t supposed to be a bad guy lol. At least not anymore. But I digress, he’s fucked up a lot, and as I said, definitely would be one of those self-pitying villains, and is constantly going “oh woe is me!”
Added Bonus: Reverb plays the part of Mother Miranda, given that both of them are the major villain in their own respective media. So Father Reverb it’d be called, I suppose. (Idk I’ve always just called ??? an “it” as opposed to a “he”, maybe, for me at least, it’d just turn out as Parent Reverb lol.)
Just wanted to put this out here! I wanted to draw it but I unfortunately do not have any motivation for art anymore, and I absolutely hate it. I wish I could go back to the old days where I could draw consistently 😭. Who knows, maybe I could bring myself to draw it out eventually. Hopefully.
If anybody who may be possibly interested, feel free to comment your own opinions or ideas! Or perhaps even expand a little more and figure out who could possibly fit into Ethan, Mia’s and Rosemary’s places in the game if you want. I was just thinking about the gang and then started to think abt Village, and realized, ‘hey, the gang could actually fill the places of the lords quite well. Some better than others, but still well nonetheless.’
