Everything so nice au: AU where nothing bad happens EVER, instead of letting his disdain boil into true hatred, abram and zaphkiel talk. It takes a long time before they can truely be on normal terms again after arbella is in full swing. But the war is effectively prevented. Jadon, Malachi, and Gaius can use this free time to construct methods to prevent, manage, and eventually partially cure burning! They get to live their lives happily forever. This AU is mostly to explore cute shippy stuff, and also to imagine them playing and having fun with citizens. Just some nice sweet fluffy fluff. who doesn't want that on occasion?

Everything isn't so bad: AU where the batter has the ability to heal corruption, very notable that this batter is a "Healer" and not a purifier. Instead of killing each guardian he is able to heal them of their corruptions. This goes all the way to Abram, and while he is the personification of sickness, batter is able to provide him the ability to have full control over these destructive powers. Zaphkiel is stopped, and Batter forces him to adknowledge what he's doing, and why. Something I like to chew on when I want more character light angst stuff. i find it very interesting to consider the recovery from this horrific thing they've lived through. Eventually, batter becomes a third god of sorts, but once his purpose is fulfilled he becomes more of a person. since he gets to live a life that is his own. my favorite part of this au is probably Adam, because I imagine batter is the first one to truely fully adknowledge the breadth of who he is as a person. fun stuff!

District Attendants: Au where every district gaurdian gets a little helper like roland! Malachi's assistant is named Noah, he's currently trying to shoo away the bird specters, he's become more timid in his time watching malachi become unrecognizable from who he used to be. Jadon's assistant is named Aliza, she's the only person that jadon will allow to see him, and even then its just so she can say hello and occasionally bring him things from outside. She manages a lot of the higher functions at the park, and is partially aware of jadon's mental inlfuence on other workers. But He's never expressed a desire to control her, and she doesn't quite know why. So. one could argue Adam has vanni, and even Mags to be his little thang in his district. But I wanted an excuse to put my oc in there. So! Francis is a scientist who reluctantly does clean up work in the chopshop. adam keeps him around because he's particularly entertaining and kind of cute. Fran doesn't really understand it, and he is afraid of the work theyre doing. But he's MORE afraid of whats happening outside. and it's not like he has a choice anyhow.

"Swap" AU: so this one is kind of building on an OFF au I already think about sometimes, in which the zone guardians are swapped (dedan -> Enoch, Enoch -> Japhet, Japhet -> Dedan) so the corresponding gaurdians swap as well! Adam swaps with delilah for the sake of the AU. and also because WOW its fun to imagine a snakey-vampiric esq delilah skulking around and doing huge speeches and having amazing hair and a cool tail.

oops all Blue AU: Zaphkiel posits himself as a cure for the corruption to the district guardians. Instead of being fully stuck in the tower, zaphkiel makes trips in and out of it, keeping abram at bay. (he has at least one of the grand items to be able to do this) as each guardian begins to retreat into themselves more Z takes advantage of their weakness and offers them a third eye. if they become a member of his communion, he will protect them from the unholy corruption. He targets Adam first and instead of convincing him, he forces the eye into a freshly carved socket on his forehead. Adam is unable to remove the eye and thus becomes Zaphkiel's first envoy. He takes over arbella, and awakens the batter to gather the other grands for him.

Lugosi, and Delilah (who is pushed to rebel, seeing the hidden pain in Adam's eyes when her father brings him 'home' for the first time) are leading a secret rebellion against Z and the district guardians! (Vanni, Mags, and Roland are also involved.)

I have ideas for a "modern" "Human" AU but theyre all very scattered. its more like a sitcom. Thats just for fun. Also imagining Jericho as a typical talking dog kind of drives me nuts.

Malachi: EWI (Electric wind instrument)

versatile but very distinct in appearance and niche!

Jadon: Harmonium

I believe there are harmonium sounds in The Puppet Lord (accompanying the harpsichord in the bass-line! it could be an accordion as well though) and it's also an exceptionally dramatic sounding intrument that I think really matches the vibe of the entertainment district! It's an antiquated instrument that few people know how to play correctly.

Gaius: the Hammond Novachord

(example 2 because this is a beautiful instrument)

A very nostalgic sound, the novachord is one of the first ever synthesizers! The sound is unlike anything heard in the industry district, but I just can't help but think of gaius when I hear it. It's what I imagine fuzzy memories floating around in a clone's head sound like.

(It was a tough choice between this and the singing teslacoil, and the telesen)

Adam: Musical Saw/Singing Saw

A shockingly delicate sound from something that is general considered to be...not an instrument! I feel the singing saw is reflective of Adam because of it's defiance against the general public opinion of what. A saw is for.

Abram: Euphonic Array

Harsh metal parts turned into something unexpectedly beautiful, yet you cannot deny where it comes from.

Zaphkiel: Aeolian Harp

(Example 2 because there is so much variety!)

malachi would like all of them, and probably attempt to get Alain on a healthier diet, and if he has the spare time he would probably want to make cat beds, or cat houses they can come back to whenever they like. He was probably delight talking to the judge and making friends with valerie and alain. He wants his district to be welcoming to all, so its important to understand their unique personalities.

Jadon, conversely, probably spoils them rotten he can't help it. Everyone loves cats and he loves them quite a bit. He would make toys for them to play with and beg gaius to help him come up with special treats for them to eat. Alain loves jadon because he feeds him all the things he shouldn't. Jadons favorite is Jozlyn, he likes her free playful energy but.. he also worries for her because. shes a little weird in the dome.

Gaius is a busy guy, but he would smile if he saw them wandering around outside. as long as they stay out of his facilities that CANNOT be getting any hair in them. (alain has been kicked out of the fishery more times than they can count.) He would begrudgingly make some treats for them at jadons requests ("they dont NEED these and theyre not very healthy why do you want me to make them?" "LOOK AT THEM") Gaius would probably like the judge and want to talk to him about the conditions of his zone!

Adam. my heart is constantly broken adam didnt get to grow up with a normal life. so im imagining hes a kid and he gets to play with the cats nicely. I can imagine the judge would be nice to him, what with the zone 0 energy inside him they feel connected in a way. He would probably be friendly enough that valerie would get along with him. I reckon he'd be a little afraid of alain though. Jozlyn is fun but she does confuse him a little bit. and he wants to find her owner so they can dance together again

Abram: get loves cats! (everyone loves cats). I can see him picking them all up at once to carry around. He loves to pet them and is fascinated by how theyre different from people (their fur, purring, paws etc) He might try and mimic the fur texture!

gaius; Somnolent burnt. Resembles the pastel burnt of zone 3 with small traces of a calvary burnt. His original body is incapable of moving, or has yet to be seen moving. the smoke from his head has completely filled his office, the density is so great that it's impossible to breathe inside without a respirator at least.
