Artw Season 2 AU Concepts
(Arcana Twilight belongs to StoryTaco)
These are some of my ideas for an Artw Season 2 AU. Some of it may differ from the original story for the individual characters and plot points using what I know about the current in-game lore and theories on what could be. Please leave any suggestions or ideas in the comments or DM me.
Three Characters will represent the Summoner in the story and have their own alternate stories that will include Diaries related to the Main 3 of the Artw Cast chosen for that Summoner. I want to write for three different Summoners to give the reader a more personal pov if they, hopefully, relate to the character they share the same gender as, or otherwise. No one necessarily will need or have to read one over the other because of their gender, I just want to write it this way. None of the Summoners will be confirmed as cisgender or trans in writing to make it more inclusive, any of them can be read by either or.
One Non-binary person [they/them] with [Spica, Pollux, Sirius] The Summoner, [Y/N], Clever & Anxious
Their Learned Protective Measure: Somehow manages to talk themself out of bad situations
Favorite Food: Pecan Pie (totally important info)
One Man [he/him] with [Alpheratz, Pollux, Arcturus] The Summoner, [Y/N], Curious & Oblivious
His Learned Protective Measure: Summons Alpheratz or Arcturus, Pollux is running away with him
Favorite Food: Chocolate chip cookies
One Woman [she/her] [Sirius, Spica, Vega] The Summoner, [Y/N], Assertive & Cautious
Her Learned Protective Measure: Learns to play Pable with Vega and proceeds to beat the shit out of predatory individuals
Favorite Food: Anything with or just blueberries
Relevant Diaries: [A Ardent Sunset Wish]
The Little Polar Bear, Ursa Minor [Urmi] [it/its] is A funny lil stand-in for short funny little stories on the side or to narrate for kicks.
They’ll each focus on three of the Sorcerers respectively, so each gets some romance scenes. However, they each have a select three of the Sorcerers for romance scenes or anything generally romantic that doesn’t entirely exclude the rest. The others will have smaller roles in personal “Diary” stories and/or generally in the story.
Side Dynamics between the Artw Cast
Sirius casually flirts with Vega, no one can tell if he is teasing or flirting.
Alpheratz and Spica are bickering like the other married couple they may as well be as usual, especially around the Summoner as if they are competing. It’s like they are trying to make one another jealous rather than become closer to the Summoner sometimes…
Arcturus and Pollux are besties of course!! Always trying to include Vega… It doesn’t work.
Vega cold shoulders everyone except the Summoner- he’s about to take out his sword if Sirius gets any closer- oh no!
Scenarios After Floor 13, Entering Season 2 Floor 1 (1-1)
What happens after the Summoner is ushered to the rift…
Enby [Y/N] Chooses to stay despite the Artw Cast pushing them to leave, instead attempting to defend, heal, and assist them with Magic and Stratigizing.
Once they turn back to the Artw Cast the rift to MidEarthium closes, and Sirius is immediately pissed at them for their decision, his raised voice alerting the others to the Summoner.
None of them are particularly happy with the Summoner for this as they’d wanted the Summoner to safely return home rather than risk themself against the Monsters and Void Sorcerers aiming to kill the Summoner.
The Summoner couldn’t bring themself to leave the others behind nor did they want to return to MidEarthium because that world hold bad memories they run from.
This Summoner’s Story will be dark at times but eventually become more lighthearted as I’m aiming to give each of them a happy ending.
Man [Y/N] Frightened as ever, he exits through the rift only to quickly regret leaving the Artw Cast to fend for themselves against the monsters/void sorcerers.
Since we are focusing on the story including the Artw cast we’ll have a time skip from this Summoner entering the rift to when he gets a chance to enter a new “rift” made by Alpheratz many years later.
This Summoner will return to Bound Arlyn with Alpheratz, neither seeming to have aged a day due to their constellation contracts extending their lives.
When they reunite, Alpheratz and the Summoner embrace, crying tears of joy after recognizing one another. Alpheratz, with the Summoner in his arms, falls back onto a grassy field only a few feet from the artificial “rift”. They later meet up with the rest of the Guide Committee, some looking worse for wear but alright in the end.
This Summoner’s Story will be lighthearted after the initial prolog.
Woman [Y/N] Refuses to leave, instead attempting to assist them by defending and protecting the Artw Cast with their Pable skills and Defensive Magic.
Once they turn back to the Artw Cast the rift to MidEarthium closes, and Sirius is immediately pissed at her for making such a decision, his raised voice alerting the others to the Summoner.
None of them are particularly happy with the Summoner for this as they’d wanted the Summoner to safely return home rather than risk herself against the Monsters and Void Sorcerers aiming to kill the Summoner.
The Summoner swears she can help as she quickly moves to unsheath her Pable Sword and takes an offensive stance, preparing to face the Void Sorcerers/Monsters with the Guide Committee. The Artw Cast begrudgingly accept this because they don’t have much of a choice at this point, they instead work together to keep one another safe.
This Summoner’s Story will show her struggle and triumph over the Void Sorcerers with the Guide Committee.
My brain decided that this was more important than sleep. DW tho I slept eventually. LMAO
