FinalRune and the character swaps i have so far for this au (Work in progress and no i aint spoiling chapter 3-7 just yet! 😅)
Nanashi: Kris (both are the respective protagonists, for more details on each character in this au ill put it underneath this!)
A rather calm and collected student, implied to have been a bit of a prankster back before an incident happened causing Nanashi to become slightly more calmer than he used to (since when he was younger he was more energetic and what some considered, unhinged, whatever happened possibly traumatised him and might be connected to the disappearance of someone he knew)
his clothing consists simply of a green hoodie, jeans and sneakers but his dark world design is a knight.
He, Asahi and Hallelujah are all the same age like in the original game (15)
Toki: Susie (both at first are the antagonist essentially of chapter 1 but become the closest allies to the protagonists)
At first she repeatedly would bully Nanashi and is a rather violent individual but after some stuff happens in chapter 1, she slowly warms up to him and becomes his friend, (also shes rather chill towards Asahi but thats mainly since she usually gives her free stuff out of pity (such as food, which due to circumstances is major help for her (as in Asahi was the person doing this stuff purely out of pity (since she sorta could tell that Toki was struggling in life) ) but there is some mild chance that she is oblivious to Asahi's... interest in her (like, VERY oblivious...)
her clothing consists of a baggy black tracksuit with a cool looking shirt underneath (not sure what i could make the design but its essentially "dark cool punk clothing") while her dark world design is based on a ronin or ninja of the sort with slight references to her design in SMT IV A (such as her oni demon mask now being a menpo (half mask) .
Hallelujah: Ralsei (A cheerful guy who will do anything to prevent the roaring from occurring since it will basically cause eternal darkness and possible world ending consequences)
He's pretty good at art surprisingly, despite the cheerful demeanour of his, he isn't in the greatest mental state from the overwhelming dread of what could happen with the prophecy, despite this hes kinda a sweet guy who just wants to help, fights using magic and his fists.
His clothing is a cloak and a scarf but underneath the cloak is some really cool looking martial arts gear, he does have other clothing he obtains (such as the suit and tie he wears during a specific point in chapter 2 mirroring Ralsei becoming Queen's butler)
Asahi: Noelle (the protagonist's childhood friend and secretly miserable loser)
Despite the fact shes meant to be the Noelle of the au (in which Noelle is a rather slightly shy and nerdy girl), Asahi is more the opposite, being a outgoing and insanely athletic student (Kinda like a jock but not in a jerkass way!), rather foul mouthed, once experienced an accident during a track race however, twisting her ankle causing one of her first losses in sports (It's very important to a backstory i assure you!), just a really helpful girl who is there to help anyone... except herself unfortunately, she secretly is struggling emotionally but masks the pain with a smile when around others (but shes starting to crack especially with her father's health possibly declining and her mother essentially neglecting her... oh and her parents have 0 idea that this is happening for her)
her clothing consists of a tank top, a varsity jacket tied around her waist (Has dragon motifs to it (little funny reference to one of her codenames she planned to have in the original SMT IV A, this being ten-ryu (Heaven Dragon) ) ) slightly torn jeans or sweatpants, worn out sneakers and a baseball cap (to kinda be a bit like her aviator hat she has in SMT IV A) (also i went with the idea of her having some slight references to halloween (such as for example a skeleton keychain she has on her bag or something, irony since shes depsite all the design references towards halloween and october, shes a bit of a coward at times!) since she parallels Noelle who's design is mainly inspired by christmas, this becomes more evidential with her dark world design in which she wears only one thing, a black robe reminiscent of the grim reaper (since Noelle's design is basically an angel with her dark world design being nothing but a white robe so it makes sense with the character parallels (with the christmas theming now being halloween themed), sorry for the long rambling of mine!)
She joins the team in chapter 2 after accidentally falling into the dark world (she doesnt become important until that chapter especially since she doesnt enter the chapter 1 dark world and is unaware of it) (she doesnt know about them until that chapter and thinks its all a dream shes enduring)
Jack Frost: Lancer (A goofy mascot character who has a bike (in jack frost's case, a motorbike, both team up with the antagonist of the first chapter (Susie/Toki) betray the antagonist, nearly die because of it then nearly die to their leader (King (Lancer's father)/Demi Fiend (The guy Jack frost considers a father) )
Hee Ho motherfuckers is all i can say about Jack Frost.
Gaston: Berdly (An arrogant guy who becomes a better person later on)
After an incident involving his older brother Navarre (something that caused major damage to his family's reputation causing Navarre to become a janitor working at the school since it was the first job he saw) causing him to be held back by 3 years (which sucks since technically he should be graduating due to being 18), Gaston is the definition of too smart for the classroom but is only there because of his brother's mistake, he rather despises his brother for this and doesn't plan on accepting his apology from him, he considers Asahi a good friend practically considering her like family to him (Even though he does at times treat her like a doormat, such as making her carry all his stuff for him but mainly since she's helpful enough to work with him on projects), despite his slightly ticked off attitude hes rather troubled from many things but eventually will come to from his senses.
his clothes consist of glasses, short sleeved button up shirt that is slightly open, dress shoes and black pants, his hair is slightly gelled, while his dark world design is inspired by both technology and paladin armour.
He is one of the main antagonists of chapter 2 after entering a dark world for the first time, however he realises his ways and joins the team.
thats what i got so far, main hero wise!
Ill work on the comic more though I assure you!
