OVERVIEW

 An organization run by a secret figure) selected a random couple to be the DNA donors for the project. This being Thalassa Gramarye and Jove Justice who in this AU are not in Khura'in but in LA. The DNA is taken from the already pregnant with Apollo Thalassa and then refined and given to various pregnant women across the world. Some including a Queen Amara, Abigail Larke, Dr Circe Luna and Thalassa again but in the time before she became pregnant with Trucy. Amara is a unique case where the DNA split off from each other and became twins. The only known twins in the project. And a bit of a parent trap thing where the twins were separated during the attack on Queen Amara and one twin was kept behind and became part of the royal family while the other twin was taken in by Dhurke and raised with the rebels. They have no idea the other exists. Nahyuta knows because if I'm keeping with the story he's met both of them but he has no real way of breaking the news.

The AU begins in the month between 4-1 and 4-2. Apollo, with only with his AJ backstory in this AU, is having a bad week. His boss just got arrested for murder, his idol isn’t who he thought he was and he is running out of time to pay rent. Things suck. It gets worse when he sees a young man with his face stumble out of an alleyway after clearly being stabbed. The man giving him a flash drive before dying in front of Apollo. On the flash drive is an AI known as Truth, who was created by the murdered man (who was a hacker also known as Truth who will be known as Truth Prime) explains that there are multiple clones and he has been tasked with finding them and bringing them together, with Apollo being the one who can help him. Of course mysteries are already piling up? Who killed Truth Prime? Who made the Clones? How many are there?

...Are they being hunted?

Apollo is about to find out.

PROFILES (AKA The Clones)

Each one has a unique name and is partially made from a split off part of Apollo’s DD or SOJ backstories.

Apollo: Not really a clone but the protagonist of this little story. The lawyer we all know and love. Keeps his AJ backstory but that it.

Truth: Both the Hacker who was killed and the AI who guides Apollo through the story. As he explains, Truth Prime built him before he was killed as a complete digital copy of himself. You could almost say a clone. His personality and most of his memories were uploaded to his software so he’s an AI but acts so human. Sassy, smart, can hack pretty much anything. Roasts Apollo. 

Connor Larke: A local musician. Fairly chill and nice. Huge Gavinniers fan. All in all just a guy with a guitar thrown into a wild mystery with his fellow clones. The first to be recruited after Truth. 

Aries Luna: Originally from Houston, Texas, Aries and his Mum moved to LA after both were offered a position at GYAXA. Aries is training and studying to become an engineer but has placed into the Astronaut Program to become a “Space Mechanic” as he jokingly calls it. Himbo adjacent. He is quite smart and knows the ins and outs of pretty much any machine. Incredibly kind-hearted and sweet. Strong minded, strong-willed and just strong. Best friends with Clay Terran who he also has a crush on. Second to be recruited. He’s also the only clone out of the group with freckles!

Criss Gramarye: Older brother to Trucy and also adopted by Phoenix after the events of the Gramarye case. Youngest out of the group of clones at 19. Thalassa gives up Criss to the Gramarye's after having him not long after Jove dies (Criss being the closest thing to an actual biological brother to Apollo) and meets/falls in love with Zak Enigmar. Criss is around 12 when Phoenix adopts him but keeps using the Gramarye name as a stage name. Though outside of that and legally he will go by Criss Wright. A little mischievous and wicked sharp, he is an excellent lie teller and spotter who sees Apollo as an older brother once they get over the shock of meeting each other. Which I suppose, Apollo is. Meets Apollo during Turnabout Corner when he shows up at the office asking about Phoenix. 

He’lios Sahdmahdi: One half of the twins and the one taken in by the Khura’inese royal family. Is kept a secret from most people.He is a little more in tune with spirits and spirit "magic" than some people, not to extent where he can channel but more than average. Like having Gramarye DNA balances out and the blocks in the fey/Khura'in bloodline that wouldn't allow him to see/interact with spirits (something I'm taking from a fic where Apollo is part Fey and the Gramarye blood does exactly that). Has the looks of a royal holy figure. Like if you took Nahyuta and Apollo and fused them (he even has a similar catchphrase of “I’m fine, let’s move on.”) , he doesn't look like he can fight. Until he flips you on your back without breaking a sweat. Overall has the grace and strength of a dancer.

Dah’gur Sahdmahdi: The twin taken in by Dhurke and the defiant dragons. Due to the events that caused him and his twin to be seperated, Dah'gur has burn scars up one side of his body. Those who know SOJ know why. He'lios has some too but they're not as prominent so they are easily hidden. One of the more hot-headed clones with a strong dislike of the royalty. Compared to the graceful strength of his brother, Dah’gur has more outward strength. That of boxing, mixed martial arts and blades. Dah’gur is stone while He’lios is water. He’lios is the calm and Dha’gur is the storm.
