Fans of Alan Becker's incredible animations, as well as any who have ever seen the masterpiece that is Phantom of the Opera, I welcome you to this blog!
This world is still very much in the making, and I'd like to involve the AvA community as much as possible!!
That means I am asking for suggestions, requests, your involvement and interaction, because this world is for you!
Now, let's get to the primary information we have so far, starting with the cast!
The main characters of the ava will be taking the place of the main cast, but fear not! Should you want any of your oc's in this world, and now fear that they'll be hardly featured, let me put that to rest!
As this is an au, I want to keep the phantom of the opera vibes and main idea of course, but I also want to make changes, to help fit with ava better, to add more events involving the minor characters, and so forth!
This ask box will be open for suggestions or requests of that like, Indefinitely!
Now! I shall have my questions for you, after the Cast Listing we have so far!
Main Cast:
(PotO character: which stick will have that role)
Christine: Dark
Raul: Chosen
Phantom: Corrupted!Victim
The new theatre owners: King and Purple (Purple in this au will be about half King's age, in his mid twenties, with King in his forties)
That elder lady who tries to keep the others out of danger and knows the phantom: Second
The retiring theatre owner: Redwood(corn dog guy)
The Color Gang are part of the performance crew
Investor in the theatre that hangs around: Victim
OC cast roles so far:
Prima Donna: Savage
Second's secret daughter/eyes and ears: Fallen (referred to often as Effsie)
Prima Donna's minion: Cherry
Meg: Shin
Conductor: TTB
Background stage crew member #5: TLB
Background stage crew member #2: Yimbo
Performer/singer #6: Luna (TSL)
Backgound stage crew member #7: Heavy
Performer/singer #8: Light
That one guy who's somehow always lucky enough to miss or be missed by any damage: Greg
And that's all we have so far! If you'd like your oc to be in this, and or if you have a role/new role in mind, please please please ask me! I'd love to include them!
Now!
There are things about the au that haven't been settled or decided yet! I would love your help to decide these things, or to get new questions to answer!
Is there a major change we should make to this au to fit the theme? (For example, i found an rotg fic that changed the main theme from singing, to dancing, and there were many things that were different because of that, but it still felt like a phantom of the opera thing)
This one isn't as much of a major change, but should Chosen and Dark be brothers, or shipped? (I'll make a poll for this tbh)
What are some new events or scenes i could add to feature the ocs more? I already have ideas for a cast party scene :D
SPOILERS BELOW
Currently, I have C!Victim as a glitched stick, which is what earned him people seeing him as a freak, like phantom was in the thing. Is this a good idea? Should I change anything and are there any specifics I could do?
I want Dark to have some kind of cool and useful glitch that is really neat, but the mere fact of having a glitch is why Alan sent him to this performance theatre, as well as the reason for C!Victim's obsession with him. It would be something that would enhance him when performing in some way. What are some ideas y'all have for what it could be?
Since there is a Corrupted Victim, I want to have a non Corrupted victim that is more like some of the gentle phantom interpretations. I'm considering having him be some kind of investor in the theatre that is always hanging around. Is this a good role for him, and what could be a reason for there being two victims?
Alan would just be this larger than life background memory of a character that never makes an appearance, but is referenced when that scene of Dark and Chosen are talking about the past, when it is mentioned that he sent Dark away all that time ago. Should I do anything more with him?
And that is all I have so far!
Please spread this around to your ava friends or mutuals, as hopefully this will be a whole community thing!
I need an oc to be the conductor stat, if you haven't seen the movie and don't know what the conductor is like, hit me up and ill send u a place u can watch it, but I need an oc who would be the type to get stress headaches because oh my gosh why can't anything go to plan just ONCE
I have very bad memory brain that does weird memory things, SO
if your oc is supposed to be in this au, or even if you just want your oc in this au! Please please please remind me or tell me, and I'll get them in the roster, and assign them a role!!
You will be notified when your character is used in a post, and/or asked about certain ways they might behave if in certain scenarios if it comes to that, so I can characterize them properly!
Maroon stared at the papers on the desk for what felt like the fifth time that day.
This whole opera business was supposed to be good money, but here he was with strange bills he had somehow accumulated, a check for 20,000 a month to stave off a ghost, and a fussy prima donna.
When did this become so complicated?!?!
He shook his head with a sigh, and got up again, that was enough for now.
You know, that other place was selling. This place was not what he had signed up for, maybe it was time to change things up. He'd always been more of a simple guy, and food and money were two of the simplest things.
Maybe it was time to pass on the opera house, and start something new. Didn't he know some people who were looking to get into business? This could be what they needed, and he could get this stuff off his back.
Due to the most recent short involving Redwood(corn dog guy), I have a better understanding of his character, and have been inspired as to how to start the story!
We will begin with the pre story, which will be solely of Redwood, bc with him being the owner that is stepping down to the new owners at the beginning of the main plot, he's not gonna get too much else screen time.
I will be open for song suggestions that you think we could do scenes based off of, or that they could perform for a thing
Chosen and Dark will be brothers!
which opens up some more questions, as well as takes us to one of the two background ideas. One of those questions being, should Dark get a new love interest besides Corrupted's obsession with him?
Savage in her dress will become a DIIYS!!
That means you guys get to draw her in whatever fancy dress you can think of!!
have fun with these new developments, and look forward to seeing more designs soon!
I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HAVING THEM SING STUFF, BUT I CAN USE EPIC THE MUSICAL SONGS OUT OF CONTEXT AND MAYBE EDITED FOR THINGS, AND FOR DIFFERENT SCENES OF PERFORMANCE THEY MIGHT BE DOING
THAT WOULD HELP WITH COSTUME IDEAS TOO
IM A GENIUS
or am I?'
it probably wont be the only song related stuff i have in here, but i had ideas for how the brothers and victim would work perfectly to No Longer You
if you have any kind of scene ideas based off songs please please please send them to me
