coughs . heres my au because i realize i never posted it here
hold on i explained it very loosely somewhere
there are hybrids (there is also by extension hybrid racism (i promise its relevant i needed a way to show that discrimination usually doesnt go away just changes targets and methods))
aformentioned evil government has a program that makes superpowered child soldiers basically
in my dsmp au terrible things happen to thomas guilded, hero name playback, because of course it does
tubbo is a villain and left the program when he was young, ranboo was never in the program (or maybe they were and cant remember, plot is loose), and purpled is in the program with tommy dream is kinda the head of the Program in this because hes an evil bitch and of course he is
i havent done anything with sbi yet theyre lowkey just sitting there. technos gonna be important though
okay in child soldier hell program (aka the Program) there are three categories you can be put into
Hero, which is for more combatitive, movement based, fighting powers (or just plain violent ones)
Essential, which is essential first responders (w/o police) (cont)
so like if you have the power to put out fires, healing powers, etc
Soldier, which is where they send anyone whose power they deem lowkey useless (again theyre deadass just making child soldiers)
power testing is routine from ages 0-18, and those who leave the Program (cont)
are generally called drifters (derogatorily) and those who never go in the first place when they have powers are called dodgers (also derogatorily)
Ive done more worldbuilding than writing but in my defense this is technically a dsmp au of my oc universe
