AU Intro Post!

Welcome to the Dreamswap & Dragons Ask Blog! This post serves as an introduction to the AU and its characters, as well as answering some more obvious questions.

Please read through this before asking anything.

What is this AU about?

I'm glad you asked!

*ahem*

This AU is based off of Dreamswap (created by Onebizarekai) and the tabletop rpg Dungeons and Dragons, mashing them both together in a homebrew style world that takes inspirations from both and became its own thing!

Each of the characters have their own backstories and lives, completely separate from the characters they were based off of! Obviously we still have the three main groups with the JR trio, Meme Squad, and Creepypasta Squad (I swear I’ll make up new names for them eventually), but they all have their own intersecting storylines and relationships!

Some of them have died and come back, others want to kill each other for various reasons, and all of them need therapy.

Sounds cool and mysterious, doesn't it? I want most of the story to be fleshed out via asks so this synopsis is vague on purpose.

What characters can I ask?

Here's a list of all ask-able characters:

Emryn Von Rue:

Based on Dreamswap Dream Von Licht by Onebizarekai

Druid (Formerly)/Paladin

He/They - Male-presenting Intersex

Aasmire

Emryn is the designated leader and healer for the Justice Reigns group, being stern but kind and the oldest. His left arm is a prosthetic due to an incident that also left burn scars over large portions of his body. His weapon of choice is a palintonos bow, though he carries around a long sword just in case he needs to get in close range.

Reference sheet

Kyren Crudel:

Based on Dreamswap Ink by Onebizarekai

Fighter

They/Them - Nonbinary

Half Wood-Elf

Kyren traveled around a lot for their work as a mercenary, which gives them an advantage when it comes to navigation, and while they tend to lean on the aloof and stubborn side, they do care a great deal about their companions even when they don’t always show it. They joined Emryn after an assination attempt on the man went wrong, and have worked together ever since. Their weapon of choice is a glaive, though they can fight with their hands or a hand axe if needed.

Reference sheet

Torin Cathmore:

Based on Dreamswap Finch Hendrickson by Onebizarekai

Fighter/Artificer

He/Him - Trans Male

Air Genasi

Acting mostly as the group's scout, Torin is mature and reliable, mostly going with the flow since his brush with death prior to landing in the material plane. He enjoys tinkering with machinery, and even made his prosthetic eye, and helps repair Emryn’s arm when needed. He typically fights with a battle axe, though he has a pistol on him just in case, being the only character to wield, and know how to wield a gun.

Reference sheet

Azure Harutaka(Formerly)/Cyrus Dain:

Based on Dreamswap Blue by Onebizarekai

Bard

They/He/She - Genderfluid

Changing (Takes the form of a High Elf)

Cyrus is a bard from an unknown land, who tends to lean into the more flamboyant and theatrical side of things. Not much is known about the musician, and he isn’t part of any group, but he does tend to stick around the Justice Reigns fairly often. He avoids fighting whenever possible, but does carry a dagger in case things get out of hand.

Reference sheet

Noctis Astaroth:

Based on Dreamswap Nightmare by Onebizarekai

Druid (Formerly)/Rouge

He/Him - Male

Tiefling

A rogue on the go, Noctis is stubborn and rebellious, but that doesn’t stop him from making sure his teammates are okay. Noctis has quite the history with Emryn, and enjoys spicy food, but has a distaste for fire despite having a high resistance to it. He typically fights with a quarterstaff, but has a dagger on him too.

Reference sheet

Mavros Runerth(Formerly)/Erakis Altair:

Based on Dreamswap Error by Onebizarekai

Monk (Formerly)/Wizard

He/They - Nonbinary

Wood Elf

Erakis is the local brain cell for the Meme Squad, being extremely perceptive, even if he’s a bit pessimistic at times. Erakis doesn’t remember much of his past, or where the blue markings on his face came from, but knows he learned material arts from somewhere, and while he typically prefers to keep to his magic, he’s not afraid to throw a punch if he has too.

Reference sheet

Corbett Mallacht:

Based on Dreamswap Cross by Onebizarekai

Barbarian

He/Him - Male

Orc

Corbett is the heavy hitter of the Meme squad, and a bit of a kleptomaniac, a barbarian whose home has long since been destroyed. While he can be impulsive at the best of times, he still holds onto the moral codes he grew up with, and cares a lot for his teammates, even being the one who does most of the cooking. He typically fights with a greatsword, though does have a spare hand axe on hand.

Reference sheet

Ronan Darcelle:

Based on Dreamswap Randy by Onebizarekai

Barbarian

He/Him - Male

Half-Orc

Ronan is a mostly retired gentle giant of an adventurer who now prefers to run his tavern in peace, if only he were to be left alone that is. He’s the adoptive parent of Corwin and Rukko, and has an odd, if a bit strained relationship with Emryn. While he doesn’t like to fight, preferring to settle matters peacefully, Ronan does still have his trusty greataxe if push comes to shove.

Reference sheet

Milas Foster(Formerly)/Corwin:

Based on Dreamswap Hacker by Onebizarekai

Artificer/Bard

He/Him - Male

Tiefling

While he mostly keeps to himself nowadays, Corwin has brushed his shoulders with the criminal underworld with his work as a smuggler after he got kicked out from the bard college of Eloquence. While flamboyant and cheeky at the best of times, Corwin is very observant, and a self taught artificer. He typically stays out of fights, but can use potions or even bombs if he has too.

Reference sheet

Rukko Maudit:

Based on Dreamswap Bobby by Onebizarekai

Rouge

They/Them - Agender

Light-Footed Halfling

The youngest in the entire cast, Rukko is rebellious and loud at the best of times, not helped by their idolization of Noctis. They enjoy theater, and often get themselves into trouble at the best and worst of times. While they typically will defend themselves with a dagger they found, they also have a shovel and aren’t afraid to use it.

Reference sheet

Jasiri Hollow:

Based on Dreamswap Ani/Anika Gautier by Onebizarekai

Artificer

She/They - Nonbinary

Kender

Jasiri was an adventurer with a wild spirit, impulsive and reckless; they met Emryn by chance and never really left, typically fighting with a warhammer whenever she was forced into conflict. While their relationship with Emryn is up to interpretation, they eventually settled down for a short while before Jasiri’s eventual death.

Reference sheet

Zemira Narayan:

Based on Dreamtale Dream (By Joku_Blog)

Paladin

She/Her - Female

Tiefling/Triton

Zemira grew up under the ocean with her twin sibling Malik, being very close as they grew up, but becoming distant over time. After an incident that caused Malik to become cursed, Zemira left the ruins of her home to chase after them, gaining two companions along the way, and fighting with a spear whenever conflict arises.

Reference sheet

Malik Narayan:

Based on Dreamtale Passive Nightmare (By Joku_Blog)

Sorcerer

They/Them - Nonbinary

Tiefling/Triton

Malik grew up with Zemira deep under the ocean, the two having been close as children, but growing distant as Malik began getting bullied. Over time, Malik grew resentful of their twin sister, and dabbled in dark forces that led to them being cursed, and all their negativity and hate forming into a new being that took over their body until it got its own.

Reference sheet

Morana Nyota:

Based on Dreamtale Corrupted Nightmare (By Joku_Blog)

Sorcerer/Rouge

She/Her - Trans Female

Tiefling/Triton

Morana was created from a dark spell as the embodiment of all of Malik’s hatred and negativity, initially believing she was Malik until realizing she wasn’t. This led to her dabbling in various kinds of magic in order to create her own body, while making an identity for herself outside of Malik.

Reference sheet

Kaito Nullity:

Based on ___Tale Ink by Comyet

Warlock/Bard

They/Them - Nonbinary

Satyr

Kaito’s never been one to stay in one place for very long, often traveling and selling their art to whoever will buy, or playing some tunes to whoever will listen. They met Zemira when she was lost and down on her luck, and joined her on her quest to find and save her twin. While they prefer to keep their past a secret, a deal they made for freedom often comes back to bite them.

Reference sheet

Finnick Seren:

Based on Underswap Sans/Blue by Popcorn Pr1nce

Fighter

She/Her - Female

Dragonborn

Finnick, while never planning to travel, refused to just not help a person in need, and joined Zemira on her quest not long after Kaito. She’s typically energetic, and joyful, always doing her best to keep morale high, despite the stress Zemira is clearly under, and the complete oddity that is Kaito.

Reference sheet

Elowin Calista:

Based on Underlust Sans/Lust by NSFWShamecave

Bard

She/They/He - Genderfluid

Tielfing

Elowin is a bard who left her home in search of something new, and eventually met Danika because of it. While initially traveling with Danika’s family and friends, the two eventually set off on their own. Since then Elowin and Danika have traveled together, using their skills to bring in a bigger audience.

Reference sheet [Unfinished]

Danika Calista:

Based on Dancetale Sans/Dance by Sterrenschijnse & Teandstars

Bard

She/Her - Female

Satyre

Danika was formerly part of a traveling circus, and performed as an aerialist for most of her youth and young adolescents. She ran into Elowin by chance, and brought them back, where they joined for a short while before the two left to build something of their own.

What are the rules for submitting asks?

Let me lay them out for you:

Specify who the ask is for. Do not ask "what is your favorite color". It does not specify who you are asking? instead, ask "To [character]: what is your favorite color". That tells me who to answer with. You may ask multiple characters the same question.

Only submit asks in English. This makes it easier for me as a person who can only speak one language.

Be patient. I have a life, and also want to give the best responses possible, so it might take me a bit.

You may submit questions directly to me, but if you do, keep it AU related. If you have non-au questions for me, ask them on my main blog. @thatoneastralghost

Do not spam the ask box. Ask your question once, and if I don't answer it, then that's that. Be mature. I will message you if the question is not appropriate.

I believe that's all for now, so this is goodbye! I look forward to answering your questions!

[fandomsmj]

You ever hit that point in a craft where you know you don't have the right supplies but forge ahead anyway as best you can?

Yeah... that's how my day is going.

[thatoneastralghost]

Since it's been a bit since I've posted anything about Dreamswap & Dragons, have some art I made for Dream's beta design!

I might redraw this with his current design if I feel motivated enough, but for now how this I guess lol

[thatoneastralghost]

So uh, I was looking over some pose references cause I wanted to draw one of the DS&D characters when I realized something.

NO ONE IN THE CAST IS A GODDAMN GIRL!

At most, I have a Genderfluid character (Blue) and a handful of them are nonbinary. But none of them are girls, and I just-

How has this happened!? 🥲

Anyways, that left me with two options to bring some actual freaking women into the cast.

Either

A: redesign some of the cast and make them women (no, absolutely not, I spent too long on them already!)

Or

B: create whole knew characters that I will have no idea what to do with.

I chose C, the secret third option! Look over to the OG Sans AU's and steal them for this Au! (Yes, they will be given new names to avoid confusion) Also give them their own storyline and stuff so they actually have something to do!

Anyways! Below the cut is information on the Sans's I have some information for, sadly I only have three of their designs done, and I'll probably release them later today or tomorrow (hopefully).

DS&D Magic system PART 2

[This part 2 of this post]

[TRIGGER WARNING: THIS POST TALKS ABOUT DEATH AND NECROMANCY]

Alright, so last time I talked about this, we were going over the terms that are used in this universe! Now I want to go over one of the major rules that ends up affecting a lot of people within the universe.

Anyone who's played DnD, or any video game with a health bar and magic in it, know about healing magic, most often (at least in DnD) associated with Clerics.

That is not what this post is about though! Not completely anyways! Rather, this post is about the rules in DS&D surrounding Necromancy!

In DS&D, Necromancy is a long and complicated process, one which Necromancer's had to set up rules for to avoid as many problems as possible. Such as always having a priest, or at the very least a cleric in the room when bringing someone back from the dead, just in case they bring back a demon instead.

There was also a time limit to how long a person could be dead before a necromancer would consider it immoral to bring them back. With this time frame being between 3-4 hours, which is about the time it would take for a dead body to go cold, at least for warm-blooded races such as elves, humans, dwarves, some Aasimar's, and certain types of genasi.

This time limit could be extended by a few hours to even a week, so long as precautions are taken to keep the body from rotting, and the organs are preserved as best they can be. This often led to bodies having their organs removed after death in order to preserve the body longer.

Another part of Necromancy was that the castor had to be extremely careful, and often had to double or even triple check to make sure everything would go smoothly. Which could lead to just the set up of the ritual taking over an hour, let alone the procedures taken to ensure the body would be okay.

This was not helped by the fact that Necromancer's needed not only the body of the dead person, but pieces of the dead from the person's race, with bones and eyes being the most used, though other organs were sometimes used as well.

[Meat, muscle, and fat weren't used in Necromancy due to meat being able to go bad more easily than other parts of the body for most creatures, and it being seen as a form of cannibalism.]

However like most magic, Necromancy could be very dangerous, more so than most. This often scared people, and made them fear it. Especially when Necromancy went wrong and people were brought back from the dead wrong.

Whether it's because they brought the wrong soul to the wrong body, a demon came instead of the person they were trying to revive, the person had been revived too many times, or the person had just been dead for so long that some pieces of their memory or personality had faded while they were dead, some people would just come back wrong.

This, coupled with the fact that if you're able to perform necromancy several dozen times in some likely inhumane ways, you can essentially unlock immortality, often scared even the most powerful of mages, especially those on the mage council.

Over time, this all fear made the mages council decide to put much stricter rules on necromancy magic.

With the rules including, but not limited too:

No reviving anything or anyone if they've been dead for more than 10 minutes

No reviving anything or anyone more than twice

No reviving someone of they died to natural causes

All remaining tissue from a or creature must be burnt to ash, and bones crushed into dust after death have they not given permission to be revived, or after the second revival if they did give permission to avoid the use of "impure" ingredients.

Anyone who is revived after the ten minute mark is to be laid to rest immediately, a long with the necromancer who revived them.

These rules, coupled with the fact that Necromancer's were no longer to be considered mages, caused a very dark period to fall upon the land.

Crime ended up rising, and many lost their jobs, while others had their workplaces take a turn for the worst as people who had been running businesses for over three centuries were laid to rest, and lawyers could no longer get seances with the dead in order to gather information for cases.

Many Kingdom and even small villages were also thrown into chaos as the people who had been leading them for generations were suddenly laid to rest and had no heir to take over.

This caused Necromancy to move to the black market, to play by the old rules for various prices.

While the world kept moving and people did adapt, even in the current age of DS&D, there are still places that are struggling.

Anyways, hope y'all find this interesting! Feel free to send in asks any time, the ask box is always open! I hope y'all have a wonderful day or night!

DS&D MAGIC SYSTEM

While DS&D does have a similar magic system to normal DnD, it does also have some of its own unique differences. Plus, I know not everyone has played DnD, so I thought it'd just be easier to explain it.

Similar to normal DnD, you still have the normal magic classes of wizard (learn magic through study), sorcerer (be born with magic in your blood), and warlock (make a deal with a god/Eldritch being/higher power).

Within DS&D though, most magic users fall under an umbrella term of mage or spellcaster, as often, of someone needs a magic user, it's entirely important on what kind of magic user the person is.

[Although the term spellcaster has mostly fallen out of use, as it's seen as a derogatory term/insult towards mages, since it's usually used by fighter classes who see mages as weak due to not being physical fighters.]

However, while all mages are magic users, not all magic users are mages. This is because while many can use magic, such as Rangers and Paladins, magic isn't their primary study, and is often either a last resort, or used in tandem with weapons, with only a few using it as an initial response. Compared to Wizards, Sorcerers, and Warlocks, all of whom typically have magic as their main focus, with some having a secondary focus on weapons (multiclass).

Basically, mages are magic users who primarily focus on magic and it's craft, no matter whether they got there through study, blood, or a deal with a higher being. Magic users who aren't mages, also known as Cadabra's (based on the word abracadabra), are people who can use magic, but don't primarily focus on it as a whole.

Artificers and Bards however, are the weird middle grounds when it comes to mages and non-mages/Cadabra's.

This is because while bards are primarily magic users first, which should put them into the mage category, their real main focus is how they make that magic, whether it be through song, dance, cards, a speech, or something else entirely, their main focus is not magic itself, but how they make it, and so they are also seen as Cadabra's.

It is a similar story for Artificers, who can use magic and focus on it, but also don't as their more focused on their inventions, and how they can combine tech and magic in any way possible. Even if it shouldn't work by any means.

In DS&D this has caused much debate on where people like bards and artifers stand in the magic community. But until something is decided, most just categorize them by however focused on magic they are compared to other facets of their class/occupation.

Some examples of the classification in universe would be Error and Blue, who are mages as Error is a wizard while Blue is a bard who rides the line between mage and cadabra focusing on magic and his music in equal amounts. Compared to Finch, Dream, and Ani who would be considered Cadabra's, as Finch is an artificer more focused on tech with little magic experience, Dream is a paladin who's magic primarily focuses on healing and safety, and prefers a bow and arrow or sword for combat, and Ani never practiced magic in any formal sense, mostly just picking it up for personal use.

Furthermore, Nightmare and Randy would be considered Ex-Cadabra's, as Nightmare grew up with Dream as a druid, while Randy learned some magic from Dream while they traveled, but both no longer use/barely practice anymore.

There are also technically subclasses for mages too, past the normal wizard, sorcerer, and warlock trio, as those three typically only refer to those who primarily focus on casting spells with magic. Other subclasses would be Charmers, who focus on casting charms, typically onto object and people, and usually falling into roles/jobs like artificers, blacksmith, and tattoo artists. There are also potion brewers who are typically called witches.

There are also likely others I'm missing, and will hopefully add later!

Anyways, hope y'all enjoyed this ramble! Feel free to ask questions if you have any, and have a wonderful day! (Also yes, I am working on Ani's design, I just have to finish some details on their backstory, and older design!)

[thatoneastralghost]

Could I know how DS&D dream and finch met 👀

Oh? Well, that's certainly an interesting story.

[TRIGGER WARNING: Swearing, depiction of blood, implied injury & loss of body parts]

I do apologize that this took so long! Lot's of stuff just kept coming up, and I didn't have much time nor motivation to work on the comic!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this and have a wonderful day or night!
