How would you describe the questers in type villain AU? Would you say that Cuphead has problems with his ego or a crippling self-esteem that he hides behind so many facades he develops impostor syndrome from it all? Would Mugman be even more of a bitter guy in this AU cause he lost his brother and thatās like the only other person he keeps close in his life and now he has to cut it and it hurts a lot and he kinda cries about it sometimes? Whatās Cala doing? About the B brothers? Are they just giving and watching the world burn in the form of two cup-headed brothers squabbling? Would this story have a happy ending or is someone dying?
Ah! I have a second for my lunch break!!! Speed type!!
Mugman in this is very cold and calculating. He misses his brother dearly and some days regret what he did, but that bridge was already burned. There is no chance for them to reconcile at this point. The development of his brother turning into a greedy monster makes it harder for him to create relationships with other people in fear that theyāll leave too. But when he does create a relationship with someone he holds on tight. Cala is a good example. Cala was caught by fishermen and thrusted into the black market. (Much like what happened to her and Alice in the dark circus) at some point Mugman found her and helped her escape. They became inseparable since.
Cupheadās problem isnāt so much with his ego, its with his greed. Knowing when enough is enough. Thatās what drove him to this point, needing more. More power. More money. Because up until then he was never enough. He was willing to risk anything to gain more. Even his own morality. And loo where that brought him.
The Bbros are an entirely different story (these two are probably my favorites out of the backstories Iāve created). Boris doesnāt know but Bendy knows whatās going on with the cupbros and how it had come to this. Cuphead and Bendy oftentimes work pretty closely, theyāre not exactly friends, moreover acquaintances through work. Cuphead and Mugman rarely see each other. Maybe once or twice they happened to be in the same room and in those cases it ended in disaster. But not frequently enough to cause problems. Donāt worry.
Iām not sure about an ending. This is kind of just a āwhat-ifā so that I could devise how these characters would become what they fear the most. So I havenāt put too much thought into it.
Thanks for the questions!!!!
