G'aaw thank you so much!! I'm glad so many people like the Moonrise Nation!

While the Tremere and Hecata clans didn't make contact in large numbers with the North American Continent until the setter periods, the Moonrise Nation's mythos still contextualizes them retroactively in the perspectives of the indigenous. (The same does of course go for the Banu Haqim, Lasombra, and the Setites. I'm not convinced there were no Cappadocians on the continent pre-colonies tho.)

Think of it in the same way that most European Christianized Vampires have some version of the Biblical "Cain" present in their cultural context, even though Cain would have by all accounts been an ancient man from the middle east and not a European. He is translated into their cultural understanding of their condition via Catholicism (Which itself was once a minor cult in the Roman Empire) and the stories it tells.

It would have been the same with indigenous vamps incorporating foreign concepts into their own mythos to keep things making sense to them.

Additionally, Blood Sorcery and Oblivion were present already on turtle island through the development of Caitiffs, and so these two clans in particular would be defined by their relation to the tribes interpretations of these Disciplines, rather than as "indigi-fied" clan identities themselves. It's more like they were equated with indigenous analogs that already existed prior to colonialism.

Ok, I love Anubis so I gotta ask about this one 👀

Plus, I'm a sucker for pre SDC designs akkdkdd

same about anubis! lemme try to explain my thoughts in a way that hopefully makes sense fgbnkjfgb

Okay so as usual I still need to organize my thoughts a bit more, but there's a military museum in Cairo that showcases the evolution of weaponry through the years (walk thru tour if you're interested) that's home to tons of swords and stuff, so it makes sense that Anubis would've been kept there. As for breaking it out, Shay was the best candidate to fetch it; she already does all the errand running around the city for DIO and Enya, plus her stealth is unmatched. Quiet Riot allows her to completely mute herself for five minute intervals which would allow her to sneak in without having to worry about guards or alarms, because her stand could easily mute those too if need be.

As for her "disguise", I'm still tweaking it and yes it's objectively plain, but the idea was to blend in with the civilians as best as she could. Egypt was very lax on requiring head coverings in the 80's, so it wasn't uncommon to see women without hijabs or head scarves (a lot still wore them obviously; this is purely from what I've been able to research, I can't say for sure because I wasn't there and haven't yet spoken to anyone that was) but anyway, Shay opted to wear a scarf when out on her errand running since her Scandinavian blonde hair isn't exactly the most common hair color among the locals. I based it roughly off Malèna's covering which I believe is called a "shayla" ... yes I did it for the pun BHBGJKBH Colors might change, but the pattern is roughly based off her usual pants with the hearts on her knees that run up her leg. Made a rough version so it's not perfectly symmetrical, but I don't have the energy to do it any better rn _(:3」∠)_

Trigun au, just kind of designed the city haha...

besides acorn acres + chip n dales minigolf pretty much being the same playground (as in the minigolf entrances being in acorn acres itself) in my story, im trying to decide whether some of the other neighborhoods should be adjusted in terms of where they connect to in a way that i think would make more sense, or if they should be kept the same as they are in ttr

i made a diagram for what toontown's map would look like if the neighborhood connection adjustments were canon to my story

minnie's melodyland would connect to cashbot hq instead of the brrrgh, donalds dreamland would connect to bossbot hq instead of cashbot hq, daisy gardens + minnies melodyland would connect to each other, and the brrrgh + donalds dreamland would connect to each other

some street placements would still change as well

punchline place would be in silly street's current spot, silly street would be in loopy lane's current spot, loopy lane would be in punchline place's current spot

walrus way would be in sleet street's current spot, sleet street would be in polar place's current spot, polar place would be in walrus way's current spot

thought that the regular cog attacks could be rebalanced in terms of which cogs use them so heres an idea of what each (canon) cog's attack setup would look like in my toontown story, asterisks indicate signature attacks

fired isnt on here bc i feel like its a bit redundant (very similar to hot air + theres already a bunch of other attacks that are puns on firing employees), and buzz word isnt on here bc i want to use it as a signature attack for my busybody part-timer fancog
