Please tell us everything about your au 🙏
War Vessel is a swap au, but I wanted it to be more than simply swapping character roles. I wanted it to be its own story, different from the plotline in Cult of the Lamb. It's mostly a shamgoat swap au, but it’s a lot more.
To start, this is Mari, the protagonist of my au. Narinder gave them that name when he took them into his care, and it stuck with Mari. They are blunt and stoic, with no clue about their past.
They are hunted. They are mad.
Within the setting, you want to be in a cult. A life outside of a cult is hardship and suffering. Monsters, conflict, insecurity. Life under a god’s care is a dream to most. But gods are cruel. Turn your back on them, and their wraith follows you.
Narinder left that life behind to protect his sons, Baal and Aym.
In the end, he chose to give up his life to Rusor, my lamb. This sets the story in motion.
From the shadows comes the stalker, the goat, with honey words and a crescent crown. Mari couldn’t accept Narinder's death.
They struck a deal. It’s a simple one. Kill Death. Free War. Save their brother.
Aside from that, here are a few established characters. Though they are swapped with a certain character, it doesn’t mean that character will follow the same backstory. Each one is different, with its own story that I want to share when I can.
I couldn't draw all the characters I wanted due to time. Text refers to who they were swapped with.
A few more I wanted to do were Fox, Ratau, Heket, Kallamar, Ygnya, and Marchosias. If I have time, I could make another chibi batch to share.
