A Menagerie of Muses

Hawks from My Hero Academia

Canon

I'm about a season behind in the anime, so I like to set Hawks around the time he's beginning to work with Endeavor and is going undercover with the League. I headcanon him as pansexual/demiromantic. But since I only write mlm, I write him here as gay. He's not exactly in the closet, but he hasn't had an interview with Out either.

High-school AU

Keigo is a junior in high-school. He is popular, has straight A's, applying for colleges, and on a different sports team each season. Despite being a friendly guy, he doesn't seem particularly close with anyone. He hangs out with a lot of people and goes to a lot of parties but doesn't have tight-knit group of friends. Something about his smile doesn't quite meet his eyes.

Fantasy AU

Keigo is an elite scout known for his stealth and the speed in which he can carry out a job. He works directly for the king as one of his shadowy assassins. If you need a job done and done discreetly, you call Hawks. He'll do anything as long as it is good for the realm.

In my homwbrew Endeavor is the king, but we can always change things to suit our story.

Harry Potter AU

Keigo comes from a family of dark wizards. His father is in Azkaban and his mother is dead, leading to him living in an orphanage when he isn't in school. He's largely considered the best duelist in school, even better than his upper classmates. He's a Gryfindor, dead set on becoming an auror.

Bakugo from My Hero Academia

Canon

I'm happy to write Bakugo at any point in timeline. I have not seen the most recent season yet though. I've read somewhat into it in the manga, but I haven't completed the manga yet either. That said, by default I usually set sometime after he's returned from his capture by the Leage of Villains. I headcanon Bakugo as gay and write him as such.

Some things to know: Unless I'm writing with a Mitsuki, I have her as much more abusive than what they show in the anime. Not that Bakugo talks about the abuse. I'll tag anything to do with it as tw:abuse. I also headcanon that while Bakugo was captured, he was tortured, because it makes little sense that he wouldn't have been, especially since he was refusing to drink the kool-aid. Any mention of it will be put under tw:torture. Not that Bakugo really talks about that either, though he is suffering from PTSD related to the trauma, he tries hard to hide it.

Fantasy AU

Bakugo is the heir to a barbarian dragon rider kingdom. His culture demands that he be married before he can take the crown to ensure that he can create heirs. Currently he has no desire to marry outside of duty, and is doing what he can to keep himself busy away from home.

Harry Potter AU

Bakugo is a halfblood Slytherine. Unfortunately, he lives up to a lot of the Slytherine stereotypes. That said, he has no interest in the dark arts and wants to prove himself by becoming an auror.

Sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender

Canon

I'm happy to play Sokka at any point in the AtLA plot line. By default I will usually set him just after Zuko joins the Gaang. I headcanon Sokka as bisexual/panromantic but I only write mlm. I fully support his love for his moon girlfriend and Suki, but just won't be role-playing those relationships.

Vigilante!Sokka

Sokka is quirkless, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to be a hero. He understands that it's illegal to deal with villains or stop crime without a license, but honestly he doesn't care. If someone needs help and he can do something, he's going to. His vigilante name is Ricochet and he is in Support Class in UA.

This AU can work for any superhero AU. For instance, if I was writing him in the MCU, he would be another masked vigilante, with no powers.

Harry Potter AU

Sokka is a pure blood wizard in Ravenclaw, despite most of his family being Gryfindors. He's not sure what he wants to do once he graduates, his father is in the ministry, and a retired auror. A part of him wants to follow in his footsteps, but he also loves charms and creating things with magic.

Kenshin Himura from Rurouni Kenshin

Canon

I am happy to write at any point up to Kenshin's battle with Shishio. I am also happy to write at any point during the Samurai X prequel. I will usually default to his time as a rurouni before the start of the anime unless you are playing a character that is within the main story. I know canonically Kenshin is attracted to women, however I write only mlm ships. For this reason I will be writing him as gay, though his relationship with Tomoe is still respected. If you want details on how this headcanon works with my interpretation of his sexuality, let me know.

Harry Potter AU

Kenshin is a graduate of Hogwarts (though I'm happy to play during his time in Hogwarts) he's an ex auror who lost his job for using the killing curse on a particularly nasty dark wizard. He hasn't attempted to rebuild his life, instead he's a wizard vagabond, using magic to help people subtly when he thinks he can get away with it.

Bruno Madrigal from Encanto

Canon

I set Bruno after the events in Encanto, only because it would be a bit difficult if he was still hiding in the walls. Though I am also very open to role-playing before he locked himself away. I play Bruno as homosexual, though he isn't out, because he doesn't know if his family will accept him. Encanto is also theorized to be set in the 1950s, so that's the headcanon I go with.

Brujo

Bruno locks himself away, but isn't able to handle it, and leaves. He leaves the sanctity of their little valley and sets out on his own. He's terrified, but he doesn't want to hurt his family anymore, and doesn't feel wanted. Bruno has a lot of difficulty putting down roots because he has difficulty getting close to people, being the oddity that he is. Eventually he sets up in a metaphysical/oddities/psychic shop.

I'm happy to roleplay when he is still on the road moving from place to place aimlessly, or after he's set up his shop.

Villain AU

This AU is based around the concept that Bruno is actually the villain of Encanto. It gives a different storyline than what is in the movie, obviously. In this storyline, Bruno has hidden himself deep within his chambers in Casita, he also moves around in the walls. He is angry and bitter about the way he was treated by his family and wants to get revenge by stealing their miracles, gaining all of them in turn. When Mirabael starts to investigate, he hopes to turn her against the family as well, considering how badly she is treated by her abuela.

At the end of the story the grandkids work together to foil Bruno's plan but fail. He destroys the candle and Casita and steals everyone's miracles. Just as he is about to kill his mother, Mirabel stops him and his family talks him down. They take accountability for their actions and apologize. Bruno apologizes in turn and is able to, through his magic, return the miracles to the rest of his family and sacrifices his own in order to fully restore the candle.

High-School AU

Bruno is the image of an anxiety riddled freshman. He's awkward, not particularly athletic, and doesn't really excel in his studies. He doesn't seem to fit in anywhere. He feels a bit like a third wheel hanging out with his sisters, so usually spends time alone. He's shy and quiet and has some strange interests. At the pressing of his family, he's trying to keep an eyeout for clubs to join. He wants to make friends, it just seems harder than it sounds. Maybe the D&D club would be fun?

Harry Potter AU

Bruno is a Hufflepuff unnaturally skilled in Divination, but average in pretty much everything else. He's awkward and more likely to make friends with animals than he is people.

Shigaraki from My Hero Academia

Canon

I'm only up to about season 4 in the anime. I've read a little farther into the season 5 area of the manga. So, because of that I'll only be playing pre-season 5. However, if you want to do a thread with Shigaraki dealing with the betrayal of All For One or him in prison or an institution or something like that set in the future that's fine. I am also happy to write as Tenko before he was groomed by All For One. I will hopefully have some AUs up shortly for a hero-verse Shigaraki as well.

I'm also all for rehabilitating Shiggy. However, Shigaraki is a villain, complicated reasons aside, I am not a Shigaraki apologist, he is going to do some fucked up shit. I will do my best to put trigger warnings up if any of his extra heinous crimes come up, but my Shigaraki in general should come with a big trigger warning. If I think he's going to do crimes at your muse, I'll message you and discuss limits to not put you in a bad position or trigger you. Just keep in mind, I play him as the whiny, spoiled, troglodite that he acts.

Disclaimers aside, if you want to ship with this man-child, you should know, I headcannon him as gay.

Harry Potter AU

Tomura is a budding dark wizard in Slytherine. He's struggling deeply with severe abuse in the home which is fueling his dark tendencies. While he's in Hogwarts, there is still a chance to save him.

Larry from Pokemon Voilet

Canon

I generally set after end game, though I'm open to writing any time in the storyline. I am very excited for the anime to drop but until then I will be focusing on game canon. I write exclusively mlm, so I will be portraying Larry as gay.

Harry Potter AU

Larry is a very normal wizard working in the offices of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He is a huge advocate for the rights of magical creatures and the emancipation of House Elf society.

Tenya Iida

Canon

I haven't seen season 5 and past that yet. Otherwise, I'm happy to play at any point in the time line. I only write mlm so Iida is a closeted homosexual. I also headcanon him as being diabetic.

Fantasy AU

Tenya comes from a long line of Knights of the King. Many of them serving as the direct guard of their liege lord, captain of the King's Guard, or as various positions of leadership in the capital's militia. Tenya serves as the direct guard of the prince and heir of the kingdom Shoto Todoroki. He does his best to serve his prince and his majesty nobly, holding to the letter of the law. Tenya is a powerful paladin who is proud of his position and even prouder to be trusted by his dear friend and leader Shoto.

Harry Potter AU

Tenya Iida is from a prodigious pure blood Wizarding family. He's the first of his family to sorted into Hufflepuff instead of Gryfindor, but he tries not to let that bother him.

Hank Venture from The Venture Bros.

Canon

I will stick as closely to Canon as possible in this verse. I have seen all of the show and will be watching the movie once it comes to streaming. I am happy to set at any point in the series, just let me know. Otherwise, I will be set him by default just before he sees Selena for the first time. (Disclaimer: I am aware Hank is a lover of women, but I only write mlm when it comes to shipping.)

Villain

In this AU when Hank's father, Rusty Venture, was offered the option to become a villain, he took it. Hank's life continues on under the tutelage of Dr. Henry Killinger. Brock returns to his work with the OSI and the family is cut off from The Order of the Triad. Hank, feeling abandoned by one role model, is able to easily be groomed by the next. By eighteen he's an efficient number 3 in his father's machinations (he'll never be equal to Dean in his father's eyes.) Tactical and ruthless during work hours, he's haunted by the decridation of his moral code (what would Batman think?) He maintains a flippant, devil-may-care-attitude but under it all he's still goofy Hank who just wants to go on adventures with his brother.

Grown Boy Adventurer

Set in the future, Hank is the adventurer half to his brother's boy scientist half. A grown man now, he's more capable than his goofy immature exterior would lead some to believe. He was trained by plenty of elites, Brock Samson, Dr. Henry Kiplinger, Sergeant Hatred, the OSI, and Sphynx to name a few. A lifetime of experience has also lead a hand in his less than healthy development. Hank loves nothing more than going to new and exotic places, finding lost treasure, and beating up bad guys.

Din (Mando) Djarin

Canon

I haven't seen season three yet, but I am actively re-watching it before I catch up. I'm comfortable writing anytime during the story or before. This is an animated blog so I will be using icons very sparingly. I will be using largely fan art to keep with the aesthetic. Considering he wears a helmet 99% of the time, I should really only need one or two, though I am working on my own skills so I can eventually replace the icons with ones drawn by me. I do only write mlm, so I will be writing Mando as gay.

Modern/Super Hero AU

Mando is a mercenary for hire known for being dangerously efficient. No one alive has ever seen his face and he plans on keeping it that way. He was raised in mercenary cult, removed from society, and while he has no problem with murder he does still have a code of honor he upholds. He generally wears an armored mask or full helmet, similar to his Mandalorian helm or similar to the kind wonr by Slade in DC. This can be set before or after he accidentally becomes the single adoptive father to a nonverbal toddler.

Moonknight: Marc Spector and Steven Grant

Canon

This will be set after the events of season one. Marc and Steven are, as of yet, unaware of Jacob. I won't be writing Jacob because I haven't seen him in the show yet, so he would be completely OC. I have not read the comics and don't see that happening in the near future. I fully respect Marc and Steven's relationship with Marc's ex-wife, however, I only write m/m so won't pursue shipping with female muses, despite my headcanon that both of them are bi. I will probably write Steven as gay.

Retired Muses

Kakashi Hatake from Naruto

I've seen all of Naruto and a lot of Boruto but it's been a long time since I've watched either. I don't mind spoilers at all, so if there is any point in the timeline you want to write with me, just let me know. By default I usually set after the Zabuza and Haku arch from the beginning of the anime. I definitely can see Kakashi as bisexual, but I write him as gay.

Pokemon AU

Kakashi is a world renowned private investigator. He travels the Pokemon world tracking down bad guys, helping the local PD break up Team (insert bad guys here) hideouts, working to stop Pokemon crimes (like poaching/trafficking/unlicensed fight rings), and finding missing persons. He is a Pokemon trainer, he has a full team of mostly dog pokemon. He is usually seen with his companion pokemon Yamper though. However, he has no aspirations to "catch 'em all" and does not plan to take on th gym challenge. He trains his team on his own.

High school AU

Kakashi has been emancipated since he was fifteen, before that he grew up in group homes and foster homes, moved from place to place. He reads a lot and those who try to talk to him find him friendly, but he doesn't go out of his way to socialize, you won't find him at parties and he's definitely not popular. Kakashi is largely seen as an outcast, a weird loner kid that always smells like dog because he works full time at the animal shelter. His only aspiration for the future is that he's planning on enlisting in the marines when he eventually graduates. Assuming he doesn't go out the same way his father did.

Guzma from Pokemon

Canon

I default to setting sometime post Sun and Moon video game. Team Skull is still kickin' it and Guzma is still running things, but it's set after he was betrayed by Lusimine. I'm happy to write at any point in the storyline, just let me know what you are interested in. I see Guzma as a chaotic bi, but keep in mind I only write mlm.

Villain/Hero Verse

Guzma is the leader of the local Skull Gang and a villain thay goes by Infestation. They seem to be made up of mostly runaways and street kids. While they are definitely bad guys, they have a strict code of conduct. No kids, no women, don't sell drugs near schools, etc. Whether or not local law inforcement is aware or bothers to consider these differe is something they don't particularly care about. They make their money largely through selling information, weapons, and drugs. He has been known to lethally go after villains and criminals in his territory committing crimes he doesn't approve of.

Quirk: He can summon and create bugs. Think Shino from Naruto. Can also fill his body with bugs, think Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas.

High-School AU

Guzma is your typical burnout. It's a miracle he made it to his senior year without getting expelled for fighting, smoking, or drug abuse. He's not the nicest guy in school, and known for being antagonistic, but he's not exactly a bully. Guzma hates bullies, he lives with one and won't tolerate their presence in an environment where he feels he has control. Despite his crunchy exterior he tends to look out for underclassmen or students having a hard time.
