#ignis au

Ignis/Human swap au, saw an artist draw Yusaku as a Ignis with Ai as a human and got super inspired! It breeded a whole au XD.

(Yusaku) would be a name Ai gave him an insult, as he calls Yusaku a boring businessonly name"All Work and No Play". Yusaku has no memories prior to the 2 years he's been on the run. He has no idea wht he is, or he came from, or where his home is. He does know that Hanoi is the enemy and must be atlen down. But everyoen has noticed he seems to hve a sweet spot for Revolver. Ai’s name is just a nickname and he guards his actual name like a dragon guards treasure.(he thinks it embarrassing cause it’s so sentimental). Yusaku is still serious and stern but he has great friends in the other Ignis, even if he can't remember them, so he was never alone in his experiences growing up in Vrains. Ai on the other hand is a tinkering madman who wants the people who took him to pay.....which Yusaku enables a little too much.

Takeru, who’s actual name is Soulburner in this au, he is essentially Asashi(Flame) cheerleader. His very very aggressive cheerleader who can go from cute nerd to terrifying Ignis monster in a heartbeat. He is on the side of the Ignis who likes being around humans, and is known as the best baord rider in Vrains. I tried to find names with flame characters for well Flame but they didn’t fit but coming upon a site I stumbled on Asahi which means morning sun can also be written as morning fire~

He’s still afraid of ghosts XP.

Se- I mean Ai, it’s just Ai Fujiki :3:  Ai can’t remember anything past the incident which is odd considering that none of the other children showed signs of amnesia. When he was saved from the incident he was taken into a Child care facility as no one had claimed him, and then eventually gained a foster mother by the name of Hoshikuzu. (They currently have a strained relationship when the current events of this story take place).

Ai while in the project swore there was another boy with him when he slept who kept encouraging him to survive. He seeks to find the boy and maybe find some peace as well as answers.  

He is very handy with technology and is a budding inventor, he even made Roboppy’s AI, which he initially thought to be too simplistic for his tastes. He likes to push the boundaries of what he can do, and trains himself using his Link sense to make better robots.

Ai is someone who hide feelings behind jokes and playing the fool, not wanting people to see the turbulent chaos that is his current mental state and emotions. He refuses to make actual friends often making excuses why he can't go any where or that he has other things to do. This gives him the reputation of being a stuck up snob who looks down on others. (It doesn’t help that Ai has a mysterious benefactor giving him a ton of money which he shamelessly uses).

He meets Kusanagi in Vrains and they team up after Ai saves him from Hanoi. Ai had went into Link vrains originally as a way to face his fears of dueling only to be met by the Cyber terrorists. Not someone to turn down a challenge he takes them on and hands out L’s to the henchmen.

…..and ends up getting the attention of Revolver who wonders why the teenager is going against them.

Ai has severe nerve damage so his pain sensitivity is shot around his shoulders, neck and arm. He also has bad eyesight due to his time in the Project from looking into a screen near 24/7, but he refuses to get glasses because he thinks he will look lame. He has electrical burns focused around his back and spine.

Ai is known as “Starlight” as his avatar. I saw some art on twitter with Ai having very short or very long hair and loved it! So i decided to use both. Ai in his Avatar makes himself look older(as well as releasing the inner vampire goth he truly is). I changed it to be more simplistic than his canon outfit but still showy and dramatic enough for him…..Also I found those boot designs randomly and i was like he had to have these.

Ai is the second tallest Lost kid.

==========================

Hikaru Kusanagi(Formerly Hikaru Raiden): When he was a young boy his parents ‘mysteriously disappeared’, and he was left orphaned. He was taken in by his Uncle and Aunt who already had an older boy named Shoichi. Shoichi was initially excited, having always wanted a little brother, but Hikaru was a prickly and angry child from losing his parents. They got on each others absolute nerves! It turned from hostile to outright hate…..until Hikaru was taken on the way home from school.

Shoichi was devastated, guilty, having argued with his parents about taking Hikaru home that day cause he had soccer practice. So they decided Hikaru will learn to walk home by himself, and then they didn’t see him for a year. 

After he was returned home, Hikaru was very subdued, but he hated being touched and would get violent, lashing out at his adoptive parents and Shoichi. Due to this he was put in a mental rehab facility 24/7 as it got to the point where they couldn’t handle him, as well as his repeated muttering about finding someone.

Shoichi blamed himself for leaving Hikaru alone. Wanting to atone and build a relationship with him, he turned to hacking and coding to find the people responsible while he took over the care of his brother.

Hikaru is a very arrogant and haughty person, despises to be touched by people he doesn’t know. Due to his time in the Hanoi Project his therapist believed he imagined up a friend that helped him through the experience. Hikaru knows better,and keeps trying to find the person who comforted him during his time in captivity.

Hikaru refuses to talk about his parents, it’s an incredibly touchy subject.

He allows Shoichi to calm him when he gets out of control, the older brothers persistence in trying to forge a bond with Hikaru won him over. So now he claims that Shoichi is one of his and leaves it at that.(Shoichi himself is not sure how he feels about that but counts it as progress). Hikaru takes pills to handle his anger and severe mood swings, and likes to isolate himself in his room with a computer.

Hikaru is a little underweight and seems to have problems putting on weight, electrical burns from his time in captivity, and developed a hair pulling problem when he gets stressed. He will pull his hair so often it will leave his head sore. 

His Avatar name is “Raijin”, as he has a high opinion of himself. He’s is more calculative and playful as Raijin, as it’s easier to keep a cooler head. His costume is damn near identical to Jin in cannon(I have the feeling that’s just his sense of fashion).

Chichi Kobayashi: Chichi as a baby was left to die in the forest, being taken in by a supernatural tree he simply called Mom. He was eventually found by a group of hikers as a toddler who were horrified that he had been alone for God knows how long.

They took him to a child care facility that was right near the mountain where he grew up in but snuck out to see his Mom Tree alot. He was given the nickname Forest child by the other children.

During a day to the park the Child care facility workers encouraged him to go make friends in hopes he would become less painfully shy and open up to the other kids.

It was around this time that he met Naho and Aoi. He had quickly become close to the other girls who didn’t mind his shyness. And even had developed a crush on Naho, who repropricated it and even got him a small crystal heart like necklace to show him how much she liked him. Her mother however did not approve of this or Aoi and had them separated.

He and Aoi carried on by themselves making a promise to find eachother again especially after she told him her brothers jobs dried up here so they had to go.

The day after Aoi left Chichi had gone to the park only to be kidnapped.

He found out after he heard a voice calling to him that Naho was also in the same place and they relied on each other to keep going. They talked to each other when they weren't tired or out cold.

Chichi lost his voice after a particularly bad day and deadly duel. Having finally damaged his vocal cords from screaming rendering him mute. He used knocks to let Naho know he was alive.

Chichi when he was saved isolated himself from people. His distrust of adults the most apparent as he refused to let them touch him. He would run away to his Mom tree more often to hide from them.

One day someone tried to take him from the tree by force and hurt him in the process. This caused the tree to lash out and choke the person to death. After that Chichi refused to leave his tree and people became afraid of the forest.

He meets a man by the name of Yuri who wanted to see the tree and was pleasantly surprised to find Chichi. Slowly he gained Chichis trust and invited him to work and live with him so his mother wouldn't have to constantly care for him

Eventually he agreed and became the man's gardening assistant. He doesn't go to school but Yuri had to draw up papers that he existed and could work.

He keeps the crystal necklace like a treasure and anyone who touches it gets seriously hurt. 

He has scars all over his back, and head trauma that impairs his memory. So Yuri has to write him lists so he doesn't forget. Nerve damage around his neck and burns on his back and arm where the duel disk was.

He has the most inhuman form out of all the children feeling more comfortable in it. He simply calls himself Earth. He is ridiculously strong in both realities and is not afraid to use it.

---------------------------

Issa: it's just Issa, his prior life is unknown to him and he really doesn't care. Drifting from day to day, even Ryokan has no idea how his life was like before the incident.

However he quickly wormed his way into being Ryokens friend after the older boy found him at Stardust road abandoned. Issa acts more like Ryokan's enabler though often letting him do stupid reckless shit cause he thinks it's funny. He truly helps

Issa does genuinely care for him though. But also is not above manipulation if he thinks its in Ryokens best interest. He also makes sure that Ryoken acts like the dumb teenager he actually is.

He also despises the other Knights and makes sure they never forget what they had done.

Issa lost his right when his VR set exploded. He lost the use of one eye and is practically blind in the other(he can only see shapes and colors).  The worst burns around his neck and chest but he doesn't have as bad nerve damage as the others. 

Miyu(The Water Ignis) and Blue Angel(Aoi) from a potential scene in Let Me Walk a Mile in Your Shoes AU.

Miyu has an súper crush on Aoi seeing her as both a challenging rival and person she wants to be with. She unknowingly became a lot like her favorite fairy tale character the Little Mermaid.
