#ralseyn

Will give a quick heads up for this and future content, but there are aspects of the characters that will be different to their canon counterparts (some dynamics especially, but also how elements of backstory are approached which may affect personality). It is a bit tough trying to combine 2 wildly different medias into an AU of sorts, though I am going to do my darn best to keep their vibes, story, and personality as similar to their canon selves whilst having some of that AU pizzazz.

[From left to right, top to bottom with the characters talked about in relation to the art]

King - One of the archangels who are almost never seen through normal means. Those who have seen King were lured deep into his lair through illusions. He can come off as blunt and is indifferent to all of life. This may be ironic as his whole being revolves around the yearning for what was, which should envoke a well of emotions. As the Archangel of Nostalgia, his way of interacting with the residents of New Wirral involves tapping into their memories and projecting figures or objects that envoke such a feeling. A way these illusions get casted usually involves the clock strung appendage stored within the mouth stomach. His presence is almost addicting to any Lightner or Darkner, yet he prefers solitude. Nostalgia is a funny thing, after all. Though you can tell that this elusive Archangel has been in the area if a few monochrome silhouetted flowers, resembling either a forget-me-not or a periwinkle, is sprinkled around. Sometimes, the soft echoey ticking of a clock may linger where these flowers lie.

Queen - The ruler over a particular thriving town in New Wirral known as 'Cyberia', Queen cares about those residing here... even if she may be a bit possessive. Making sure that this place is nothing but a paradise, she has spent many years perfecting the formula to her domain's look and function. There are many parts to Cyberia that make sure it is a utopia for all who step inside; it even breaks physics by being way larger that what the outskirts of it make it out to be. Such a techy paradise is all thanks to Queen's nature as the Archangel of Daydreams, as indulging one in such fantasies and making it feel like you're living a utopian dream is what she spends a good chunk of her time on. However, in the few times she hasn't had to do such, Queen does come off as a bit more emotionally distant. Not understanding social cues the best, and even treats others like simple dolls she can push around and/or tease. This is more amplified when interacting with other archangels since she rarely comes face to face with them.

Tenna - Bold! Vibrant! Crowdpleaser! These are a handful of many words that can describe the King of Fun (aka the Archangel of Entertainment). For as long as he's been around on New Wirral, he's been pouring his heart and soul into a part of this landscape that encapsulates his purpose: Wondertainment Isle. A large park-like island that has many types of games, with a tent at the very center of it all. Nowadays, Wondertainment Isle has a mediocre turnout, though it was bustling years prior. Tenna has grown desperate over the years to bring back what once was. Broadcasts throughout New Wirral do happen from time to time that try to lure newcomers to Wondertainment Isle. Which work sometimes. Yet things have been going badly for so long that Tenna has locked himself in a room deep within the studio section of the Isle, and expends a chunk of his magic to interact with the outside world through a specially crafted 3D shadow puppet simply nicknamed "Tennaville". The only one who is allowed to visit Tenna is Mike. Thus, is the only other person aware of how Tenna truly is going outside of the Tennaville schtick being done.

There is a rumor speading amongst staff that a catalyst for this decline was the huge falling out between Tenna and an ex friend of his. One that happened years ago, where only those who have around for ages would know of.

Jevil - A downright troublemaker who is seperated from the rest of the archangel population. The island they reside on is very far away from New Wirral, so new guests are very few and far between. It is a being of chaos, for it is the Archangel of Chaos. So it is second nature for Jevil to do the weirdest of things and even stir up some emotions when around. After a series of unknown events, Jevil had to be locked up through tough magics. Though, as the years tick by, these chains have begun to slowly wither away. It is only a matter of time until this being can roam free again.

Spamton - Someone who is rarely seen outside of his home base, Spamton is a business first kind of guy who values himself over anyone else. Cocky and confident, there are underlying hints of sleaziness with his every move upon interacting; even if there is the occasional vocal tic or visual glitch for whatever reason. He rarely, if ever, strays away from a tough CEO business man-like persona. As the Archangel of Capitalism, it's a must!!! He has a habit of dangling monetary gains above potential business partners and striking deals for anything. It's how he rolls. Though, don't rile him too much in any way, lest you want a garbled glitchy mess of a rant.

Or maybe you want to. What's the harm of riling up such an odd individual if its just for fun?

Ralsei - The timid yet friendly soul of the bunch, Ralsei is never met in their prime in the plot as they're struck down mere moments before encountering the main character. Through word of mouth about the Archangel of Archives, it can be made known that Ralsei was really social. With Lightners, Darkners, and even the other archangels willing to interact having mostly positive things to say. Sure, Ralsei can be overbearing with info to share and even overly concern, but protection is a part of their schtick since they guard all forms of information like their life depends on it (which it kinda does).

Roaring Knight - Known as Epiardo in this AU, RK is the overarching antagonist. The one Ralsei warns Vee about through a prophecy. The one planning to plunge all worlds into a forever dark. This evergrowing Archangel of Darkness is silent but deadly, for its amorphous nature allows for it to slink around while others are not looking. Darkness is in every part of life afterall. You cannot escape Epiardo's influence no matter what you do.

(Epiardo is also the only Archangel who remains in their true form no matter what; hence their out of place look)

Here are the ones I've done! First one is a Vee + Ralseyn fusion, and their name would be SoulRead eheh.

(There is a non zero chance Imma rename Kable cause idk how much I fw the name at the moment. Open for suggestions if any)

But yeah! With fusions, I'm thinking there are a few that are a part of the main plot beats (SoulRead likely being one if I can figure that out) whilst others are mainly for funsies or silly lil scenarios. Fusion will be an important element to some story bits too, I'd like to mention that whilst here teehee.

This is how Ralseyn looked prior to the events of DeltaRoads

The ribbons always have some sort of symbols on them, showing the same on both sides; each ribbon reflects some of the many memories in Ralseyn's mental vault. Though these symbols don't always seem to make the most sense, there is meaning for them when strung together.

Now, after being broken, so much of the ribbons were torn off that it can no longer display anything. This broken state is how he's first seen at the beginning of DeltaRoads. The one which spouts about a prophecy and initiates a battle.

After such a rough time and being spared during combat, Ralseyn accompanies Vee on their journey. Despite only being able to be percieved by Vee (since, through some odd means, Ral latched onto Vee's mind), their form isn't like how it used to be. It's a strange in between with a more simpler take on the injuries sustained. Ralseyn acts as a second voice when it comes to most things Vee acts on, no matter how minute.
