i could definitely see an argument for space, although i pegged them as a muse of doom (john) / lord of doom (the hunger) b/c their main motivation for doing what they do is, well,

You can’t possibly conceive of the length of eternity, Merle. I have. It’s maddening and hopeless but it’s this burden we’re all saddled with from the moment of our creation. It’s a finish line that, by its definition, will never arrive. It stretches forever and ever, it’s too ambivalent to even taunt those trapped behind it. It is the cruel price of existence, Merle and it is too horrible to bear once you’ve seen it. Existence, Merle - life, Merle - is… horrible. To exist, to live is horrible.

which sounds pretty doom-y to me! they are the embodiment of nihilism!

December 21 2019-January 5 2019

1) mentor figure killed by giant meteor

2) has a shitty sword; now broken

3) plays that fucking Tony Hawk video game??

4) duck newton is a valid kid name

You’ve heard of Tazstuck, now get ready for the hot new AU: THE HOME ZONE

Bonus:

Haven't delved into possible classpects 'n stuff, though I will say the D&D mechanics/lore is still in play so they'll stay elf/gnomes/dwarves etc. With their D&D magic and classes. They just will Also have Skaian classpects.

But plotwise, instead of the Light of Creation giving their original world the bond-engine and therefore the Starblaster, it gives them The Game (Splane??? I'll workshop the name).

So the IPRE crew is the first group meant to test it out, and the usual Skaia Fuckery happens and meteors start launching. But something... else is coming through the defense portals as well. Inky black limbs that are hard to even focus on.

Magnus: Knight of Heart. This boi is a protector of the people he cares for. Could also be Blood, but Mags gives me Nepeta vibes a lil, so Heart it is!

Taako: Theif of Mind. Cha'boi is a theif, like... he steals shit, and wants to be the centre of attention, and Meenah vibes run strong. Mind because... yeah.

Lup: Rouge of Hope. My girl is a hope player, she inspires others to be the best they can be (the crystal of souls! the battle of neverwinter!). She's also a rouge because Roxy vibes, and lbr she steals almost as much shit as taako.

Merle: Heir of Life. Obvs a life player, like plants? Healing? C'mon. Heir because he's uncertain of his power, but rises to take hold of it.

Barry: Page of Light. Hes SUCH A NERD, gotta be a Light player, and i love the irony of barry being a page (i.e. knowlegeless until suddenly he gets really knoledgable and can't be defeated). Also hideous legwear.

Lucrecia: Maid of Void. She's subservient until shes NOT, and void helps her hide herself early on then hide knowledge from the other birds. Babe does a lot of hiding and obscuring. (also aradia vibes anyone?)

Davenport: Prince of Time. Calculating, powerful: dudes got Dirk and Megido vibes coming outta his ears.

Angus: Witch of Light. Lil detective is a nerd.

Carey: Rouge of Breath. Tell me this girl doesnt give you Roxy vibes. Breath fits with how free she seems to be.
