Cuz after I'm done building them. I'm gonna kit bash these together

As sketch of an original island for my AU

A little background. In my AU after Pirates curse and in Genie with 2 lifes Shantae gets her own vessel, the ship from PC modified solely for fast and long travel and not to be reccognised as one of Risky's vessels. And I wanted to give Risky a ship that's more made for navel battle.

Meet Risky's sloop'o'war the Kali's wrath. 5 cannons on each side, 4 frontal cannons, a mortar, massive smoke engine and icebreaker ram. With a new and improved engine making out sailing this one impossible.

Close up and more detailed drawing of the ra/ice breaker.

This ship also has an new captains cabin interioir because the one shown in ½Genie hero doesn't make much sence to me. I mean just look at it,

So I sketched a new designe inspired by AC rogue. Making it more livable.

The reason why I'm doing this is if I don't put this out I feel like the [REDACTED] in my head will get me

And my mind having ADHD + autism and making up stories as it does. It started very small but than it spiraled into something that I just couldn't keep in my head anymore. So what's this long term AU about?

The full series will be called "The princess and the pirate"

The first thing is that I wanted this AU to span over a long period of time and games [tho I have the tendence to switch from game to game and story to not get bored] and I know ½ Genie Hero is suppose to be a soft reboot but it has a lot of potential if it took place in the same time-line. Also I want to write Shantae having multiple "phases" in her relationship with Risky.

And now for a little synopsis. Shantae 1-3 (even tho 2 hasn't come out yet) I will not write that, maybe in the far of future I will write it as a (doomed) prequal like the Star wars epsidodes. But the important part is at the end of Revenge Shantae discovers something about herself.

6 months later, ½ way through Pirates Curse Shantae and Risky WILL do the dirty deed (R18+). And at the end of it Shantae and Risky decide to keep their relationship a secret from everyone.

Now after that Shantae and Risky will go on adventures behinds Shantae's friends back, the Genie With 2 Lifes (GW2L) volume. This wil have 13 arcs spread over 1 year. And it includes as Shantae visiting Risky's new island, going on a few raids with her, finding genie artifacts and of course the Valentine special and more. Shantae will also gain the new transformations seen in ½ Genie Hero and a original one. I want to write a reason how and why/how Shantae has those in the ½ Genie Hero game.

Now ½ Genie Hero (½gh). It will start near the couples anniversary but thanks to [REDACTED for spoilers] it's get interupted and their relationship goes public with all the effects that fallow. It will also have some changes, including 2 defectors, 1 "level" removed and replaced with 2-3 new locations, a new/original transformation, a little glimps about Risky's past and don't worry, Shantae will get her well deserved anniversary gift.

Now I didn't want for 7 Sirens to take immidiatley after ½ Genie hero. I wan to give the 2 some breathing room about that they don't need to hide anymore. This shorter volume the 2 will meet a silver haired hunter and give Shantae another original transformation. More pirate gear and [REDACTED]

7 Sirens is a bit of a road block for me both because I haven't played it in a long time nor finished it but I want to make sure that this adventure is just the couple having a realy weird first vacation together

Now there is a gap because I don't know if Wayforward is gonna make another/more Shantae game(s) in the future so I'll skip it for now and go the Future parts of my AU [again I tend to jump form arc to arc to not get bored]

Shantae Future: and of course I want Shantae and Risky to get married, but let's just say that the honeymoon got an unexpected extension and after that the couple will have to deal with a bun in the oven.

Once one of the most famed prisons known in all the lands now deserted and empty. No one knows how or why. But one thing was certain, the day that the new warden came to take over after the previous one and a prisoner disapeared, all went down hill.

Some locations going in a Z order

The wardens office: with on the left wall a painting/photo of the warden her guards and inmates before the new one. Never got removed. And on the right a safe, wonder what could be inside that. (Drawing in depth is so hard with a pen)

Prison cell blocks: nothing too special aside that most of the stairs have rusted away.

A special cell block: Why such a thick door, why wel preserved, and why is it the closest to the wardens office and the wardens sleeping quarter?

The dome's survailance platform: used by the guards to observe the prisoners for any trouble. (Which was overrated because the prison was know for its well treatment of its inmates and rehabilitation. Think of the Norway prison)

I was brainstorming for abother transformation for Shantae's pirate persona. And with her hood and equipment she got during GW2L I really wanted to give her some more assassin/ninja transformation. But I also tend to switch from arcs and volumes to avoid myself from losing intest.

And so as I was adding some stuff for ½GH pirate race (the carpet race doesn't appear in my AU), and there's a giant mountain. My brain went: Isn't there an animal that's called the ninja master of the mountains? And I immediantely went to the ibex as the prime animal for the new transformation.

But after I full had the concept in my head I went "wait this feels familiar" and then I realized I was making Haiji Gotou from Killing bites. But since I'm already too deep into the idea,

But just imagine she wears a jacket with a face mask like this

Icle peak island

An island with mountains so high you can touch the clouds. I crudly drew some trees on it. On the top of the mountain there's a cave that houses an item as proof that you've reached the top and are officially on the ½ way point of the race.

There are some crudly drawn trees who might come up later.

I felt ½ Genie hero was missing a snow level and I needed a new location with the carpet race not being a thing in my AU.

If you turn the screen 135° clock wise you'll see a location inside the cave with ice stalactites hanging over a deep pit. But if you want the item you'll need to get it away from the beast that lives as the apex on this island.

New type of scarecrow of the fields

Could name them Dusk, but they are more like elder/veteran types. I'm not gonna colour it in but the hat and the "hay" are red, the shirt and eyes orange and the glove green in one hand, and the other has a pumpkin that spits explosive fire. And there's vegitation growing out of it's sacked body showing it's older, wiser and tougher but also slower.

Some locations in Rhythm temple

The front is a hallway with in-wall sarcophagus that will release human sized stone rhythm guardians for Shantae and Risky to fight (on the beat of course)

Turn it 90° clock wise and you'll see a classic dropping pillar trap over a bottomless pit that hits on the rhythm

Bottom half: The water abyss hole. It's surrounded by water yet very little water gets in somehow.
