That’s a pretty great idea, especially Lohengrin beingquirkless.That’d also mean Drosselemeyer would have to be a really recent ancestor to Fakir-an estranged grandfather or great uncle, maybe(estranged bcs lets face it hisfamily probably wouldn’t keep contact with a dangerous sociopath with such abatshit scary quirk).

I think it’d be intersting if Drosselemeyer somehow survivedafter the Raven came to be, but ended up crippled or gravely injured. Heck, hispower uses blood, the Raven is a blood creation - anemia does not treat oldpeople well. He could end up hospitalized somehow. Ans perhaps Lohengrin could’vebeen either weak of health, if we’re taking the quirkless route, or have a veryunpractical quirk that affected hs health and required him to spend lotas oftime in the hospital. And maybe I should actually decide what happens insteadof making an endless string of  ’maybes’.Either way, it’d be interesting if Lohengrin met Drosselmeyer in the hospitalsomehow. Imagine it- a frustrated teen/young man, takinga walk through thehalls because for once his health isn’t screwing him over too much, finding ashady old man in a dark, quiet hospital room. And then they strike a deal – youget to be a hero as you wish, bUUUUt you gotta fix my mess.Which all sounds intersting , but then again, how could Drosselmeyer keep the armor from melting away? Hmmmm. Dang.Plothole.

Perhaps if he injected some of his blood into Lohen? Whichis creepy and messed up, I know, but it fits well considering who we’re talkingabout.

And then we ahev a tipical story motif where Lohen forgetsabt his part of the deal because lookie here, a good job, a girl he loves,everythings fiiine, nothing to worry abt then BAMF – either Dross pries hisinky fingers into Lohen’s personal life and ruins it for the sake ofcontrolling a broken man or some shit or idk, mayeb Lohen and Tutu just splitup because life is shitty like that.And so our dude devotes himself to finding the Raven because what goal in lifedoes he have left? He keeps fightinga nd fighting and investingating andfigthing until years later, Tutu ends up having a showdown, she gets killed,Lohen gets shamefully defeated and just straigh up quits, like you said.Don’t you love the sound of tears falling?

This actually all fits into what we have figured out abputthe story kiiiinda wonky, but it works.(And, off topic, maybe ’Lohengrin’ is better as a hero name?)
