Welcome to AUN, a very weird lil story that has been bouncing around for a while. It's only set just recently, but good things take time.
Either way, lets get basic context and blog rules out of the way, so we can get down to the fun parts.
DNI:
-Basic dni criteria
-Proship
-Antimogai
-Antiendo (including anti created systems)
-anti self dx
Lore will be tagged #&lore , text will be #&text and so on and so forth. Tws/cws will be in normal #cw/tw (thing) format. Chara tags will lack the '&' symbol
Many characters may have multiple tags for multiple "eras" of their character development. #(name) general will pull up all content of them.
AUN is a au version of Worm by Wildbow. No, weve never interacted with worm or any of Wildbows work. Only around two wiki pages, nothing else, nor do we plan too.
It is also inspired by Potatonose's ABN on SB, we ripped off a few character names and basic ideas from there.
AUN as a story is er...long. And weird. So, stick around, and hey. Maybe something we say will actually end up coherent?
AUN in itself is split into around three sections. One being a bunch of aus and just romps to play with characters, one being the main story, and the other being the "sequel" of sorts. All are equally weird and confusing.
Also, dont ask about the characters ages. I have no idea. All of them are like young adults (20-30 range) or something, aside from a few obvious exceptions. Dont bother running the math, none of it will add up, mostly because we hate math.
Oh, and also well talk about some other cosms. theyll have their own tags.
€pokecosm covers the general mini pokecosms, and all the rest too, but those, like tcpasg will also be tagged €tcpasg
-The Wataru clan is the oldest, and the very first dragon clan
-All dragon clans do literally have dragon pokemon in their blood! Wataru clan members have the most pure dragon, but other 'lesser' clans do still have dragon blood, and often other secondary types
-These types can allow some members to draw upon powers or moves, have resistances, or stronger bonds to said pokemon
-However they do also give personality traits and other attributes, and when its, well, dragons? It can be a little tough...
-Which is why the Wataru clan is so isolationist and strict, they have the purest dragon blood and thus need the most training at a young age to make sure they dont give into their draconic impulses
-There is a long history and a lot of tradition regarding each clans clothing and interclan interaction. The one big thing all clans have is a cape, though its size, color, style and how it is earned, when it is worn, why it is worn, and who wears it varies.
-There is a social hierarchy of clans
-There is a loot of rules on how a dragon clan member greets, gets, and trains dragon pokemon
-There are also a lot of rules on how two dragon clan from different clans members greet and interact with each other, like how the highest ranking person is the one who wears their cape, and a lower ranking member doing so would be considered a insult to the higher ranking person's clan
-Galar does not have a dragon clan, Leon thought the cape looked cool and thought it was just a "Dragon Master" thing, completely unaware of actual dragon clans. He gets his ass kicked for this
-Cynthia is from the Blackthorne clan, a medium sized and well respected dragon clan that branched off from the main Wataru clan a fair few thousand years ago. Their dragon blood has stayed suprisingly strong, but their posion typing has lowered their status
-Alola also doesnt have a dragon clan
-Dragon clans have specific draconic figures they base themselves on, often with things like "swiftness" or other traits and different builds from other dragons
-The Wataru clan follows the "First Dragons", and the Blackthorne follows a line of posiony spikey beasts, with more of a bipedal build
-Lance has clawns he files and lil dropdown fangs
-Cynthia is a bit toxic :0
-maybe...other type groups? Not in the same style as clans, but def bloodlines
(A text transcript of a journal entry by Subject [REDACTED] Jenkins during [DATA EXPUNGED]. Notes are indicated by parentheses)
[Audio recording begining in 3..2...1-]
The camera fucking broke 'gain, so this is all yer getting future me. No bitching about it, and I'll uh...draw some of this. Not gon' be the best though, but it'll do.
(Subjects have reported complex electrionic devices requiring repair frequently when inside [DATA EXPUNGED]. This is the last known mention of the camera originally brought inside with Jenkins, it likely having been unrepairable and abandoned.)
'Nyways, I've gone down a...couple miles more? Dunno...the uh GPS stopped working too, and it's not easy to get yer bearings in a place like this...
[Cloth rustling]
(Indication, alongside lack of general movement, that the recorder has made camp before making an entry, unusual behavior, which may be linked to the Subject's doubts about the mission.]
It's hot. Like really damn hot. And it's only getting hotter. Tha' would be fine if I werent so damn close to the surface, I'm only in the early hundreds. It shouldnt be this hot already, right?
(All reported temperatures by Subject Jenkins and other Subjects were incredibly unusual for the areas climate, location, and depth. However, due to the lack of basic thermometers, and the more complex machines nonfunctional state, these answers cannot be trusted. Later testing gave incredibly variable results, with no Subject giving a matching answer on temerature and humidity, pointing to the experienced temperature being linked to a non-physical cause. Subject Jenkins is most likely hallucinating the sensations of heat.)
Cant get comfy in my sleeping bag now, though it's still better than sleeping on rock.
The roofs all shelly now too. Got layers, they overlap each other. Kinda like scales, but all warped at the edges. Uniform, smooth too....
Whatever came down through here came down fast, hot, and weird. And it's prolly still burning too. That aint no normal asteriod.
It's so uniform, thats whats been buggin' me so much.....No branching tunnels, no scars in the earth. Jus' a long, smooth tunnel, that bends and twists more like a worm dug it than a crash site. Musta been a mighty big worm, 'cause there aint any signs of erosion I can spot, 'n astroids leave craters. They dont burrow.
(All samples taken back for testing showed signs of melting, with no other types of erosion.)
Speakin' of how fuckin' weird this place is, I think the stone is changing color. It's gotten deeper, purple-y or somethin' like that. It's strange, not like any normal rock I've seen. Now I'm wishin' I liked geology a lil' more in school!
(Subject Jenkins was correct in his guess that the rock was not native to this area. Tests on samples have shown it to be not native to any location on Earth.)
[Horse laughter, then silence]
Y'know...
[Another long pause]
I'm starting to get uneasy about this whole thing, with the GPS and electronics not working right. The whole cave is unearthly. I know, I know it'll be the find of a lifetime, and probably safe 'n all, 'n I'm prolly watching these tapes back 'n laughin' right about now...
I jus' can't get the thought out of my head that whatever is down there is more trouble than it's worth.
(First direct vocalization of doubts about the mission by Subject Jenkins, incredibly late for most Subjects.]
[A third pause]
It's just the lack of sleep, lettin' what Ross said get to me... I'll travel some more in the morning.
[Movement. Audio crackles for a brief moment.]
(Recording device is likely being moved well Subject Jenkins attempts to turn it off.)
Jus' hope this thing keeps kickin down there too...
