#phantomborne

basically its a danny phantom au based on the game bloodborne!  instead of ghosts, there’s beasts, and instead of ghost hunters, there’s beast hunters :3

i bent the rules for bloodborne a bit to fit the au, so characters like danny and vlad (and i guess dan Sorta, i’ll get to that in a sec) have the ability to switch from human form to beast form and back because they’re half-beasts!  how they became half-beasts is simple:

for danny, his parents are scientists that work with blood, and they were working on a new transfusion that would uh..make ppl be able to understand beasts or something?  something along those lines i cant remember.  but they came to a halt in their research b/c they couldnt figure it out.  so danny went and tried out the latest batch, but it ended up turning him half beast (and also he accidentally shattered the batch on the floor b/c hes clumsy)

for vlad, it was during their old college days.  jack and maddie were working on their blood science, and vlad volunteered to be the test subject for the latest batch. but the transfusion went awry, and he came down with a horrible illness that was later revealed to have also turned him half beast

jazz is a scholar, and the rest of her family are beast hunters that dabble in blood science! danny and his friends are also beast hunters in training, but they secretly go out to fight beasts in the night when their parents are out and danny is able to use his beast form to fight other beasts

now, as for dan: dan is still danny from the future, but not fused with vlad in this au.  hes just danny.  but like..due to an explosion at a weapons workshop that killed his family and friends, he gave up his humanity in order to turn into a full, ferocious, huge beast that terrorizes both humans and beasts alike.  valerie has sworn to hunt him down u-u she doesnt know he has the ability to make himself appear human, though, but his human form is...really unsettling. like, at first glance its human enough, but his eyes are totally dead and he doesnt smile.

WEAPONS:

vlad uses the threaded cane and pistol!

danny uses the saw cleaver and blunderbuss!

valerie uses the blade of mercy and pistol!

dan uses the beast cutter and blunderbuss!

one last thing: clockwork is in place of gehrman in this au!  he’s more of a spirit though, and he still has his time powers.  also he uses the burial blade like gehrman except it has a cool clock embedded in it
