How would people feel if I completely reworked and revamped this au?

I'm keeping a bunch of stuff just working out some major plot holes that I didn't like and adding a few more fun references

I'm looking at changing the ages and timeline at this point but that will probably drag some other stuff along with it

I can feel a bad night coming, anyone wanna stay up and chat with me?

technologyvoid

What would you like to talk about?

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

Uuhhh

Tell about AU? 👀👀

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

Okay so I have absolutely nothing solid written but I can tell you what I have so far!

We are gonna be talking human testing and experimentation with technically non-consenting individuals

You okay with that?

I have at least 3 OC with that same idea so :D

Brilliant, here’s 18

In this world there is a magic/powers system called sparks. Sparks showed up around 200 years before this story is set. Sparks are believed to have come from space but actually come from the core of the earth, they are classified as semi-intelligent life forms that create symbiotic bonds with humans. Under 30% of the human population ever bond with a spark and it usually occurs under the age of four. With the youngest recorded at two months after conception and the oldest at 49. However it’s not unusual for a spark to remain dormant for years after bonding.

A bond is easy to record as sparks are visible to the average human eye and often make the host glow at the moment of bonding. Most sparks will die with their hosts but a few will seperate as their host ages, leaving the host without their powers as the spark seeks a new bond. Unbounded sparks are commonly found in hospitals or childcare centres such as schools and daycares.

Sparks allow their host to use their power to perform “super human acts” such as flying or perfectly cooking their toast. Most bonds occur young so that the host can grow into their spark, with said spark remaining dormant until the host’s body and mind can safely use their spark without injury. Bonds provide a level of instinct to the host but it is not always obvious or easy to activate a spark. Some sparks do not activate until their host dies, meaning someone can go their entire life with a dormant spark.

There are very few recorded cases of someone with more than one spark bonded naturally. In every case only one spark would ever activate in the host’s life, while the other remained dormant. When the second spark activated it was always fatal, no matter the spark. There are certain procedures in place to attempt to separate a spark in these scenarios but it has a low success rate and most families prefer to risk a second activation. There have been three recordings of hosts with more than two spark bonds, these individuals all died within minutes of their bonds.

The Neelu Facility want to change this, by creating a force of knights who can bond with and activate multiple sparks at once, making them an unstoppable force.

technologyvoid

That sounds like a terrible idea from the facility

Please tell me at least one person physically melts when the second spark activates (because the facility tried to strengthen their body but miscalculated something)

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

There were many failures, thousands, almost a million before #001 stabilised, host to 6 sparks. It has limited control over two when activated and at least three have remained stubbornly dormant despite testing.

Further tests show that such a high level of sparks lowers the speed at which #001 learns to use its sparks.

However, there are other experiments ready to begin testing and there are higher chances of success now.

technologyvoid

Oooooooooo 👀

Things started getting weird, security footage was showing a young child running around the facility at night. An impossibility as the facility was designed to lock out anything with the wrong biological signature.

After finally catching the child it revealed to be the result of one of #001’s sparks activating without it realising, reacting to it’s want for company. It turned out #100 was able to rip holes into another mirrored world, with the lost child being it’s counterpart of that world.

The decision was made to make the child another knight with the hypothesis that it would take as well to the experiment as #002.

And thus #002 was created, it only bonded with 2 sparks, but similarly to #001 it had a natural spark from before the experiment.

technologyvoid

AW NO-

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

#003 was the next successful experiment and the first to cause great change in policies.

The carers who had been in charge of #001 and #002 had been insisting that they should be allowed out outside rather than contained to the facility and the tiny gardens. #003 had a wide ranged spark that sent the facility scrambling to locate its affects across the city.

An agreement was made under the guise of “good publicity” and “acclimatisation” that the knights would be allowed into the city as long as the facility was made aware and they were constantly accompanied by a carer.

technologyvoid

Oh heck yeah they can attempt escape now if they need to

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

The next successful experiment brings knights #004 #005 #006 #007 and #008 into the legion. With #004 activation a spark that divides it into quarters.

It is believed to have reacted this way after 12 sparks tried to bond with it. #004 appears to have 4 sparks with the only active one being the one that allows it to split.

Each of the split knights hold 2 sparks. While this is disappointingly low both are easily activated when split and it would be dangerous to try to repeat the bonding experiment again with the split causing an interesting instability.

technologyvoid

Oooooooooooooo that is very interesting actually

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

By now there have been countless casualties l, experiments gone wrong, so the facility begins to attempt their own knight from scratch using sparks. This goes both horribly and fantastically.

They manage to create a semi-stable being after around 100 attempts, the resulting entity ends up latching onto #004. When the facility attempted to separate them, the entity ended up ripping away with one of #004’s sparks.

This spark gives it the ability to stabilise enough to be counted as knight #009. It doesn’t stray far from #004 and has even chosen to wear the same face.

technologyvoid

OOOOOOOOOOO

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

The next success came in the form of #010 who made it even harder to keep control of the knights. It took to one of its sparks quickly, warping time around it and avoiding any attempt by the facility to contain it.

It seems to find great joy in pranks and scaring facility workers but works well with the other knights.

technologyvoid

Oh nice

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

No one really knows where #011 came from, it just knocked on the front door one day and stuck around.

It got in well with the others and was able to bond with three sparks with ease, showing quick proficiency with all of them, a previously unseen result.

#011 remains an enigma to the facility, they have no idea where it came from or why it came to the facility in the first place.

technologyvoid

#011 is just like. "I live here now" XD

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

The next success is another with a natural spark, it binds with 2 more and becomes #012. It shows a high level of care for the other knights, no doubt a result of the abuse in its past.

With the introduction of #012 to the group #001 becomes more protective and starts to take a stronger lead of the group. When asked it only responded with “they’re my family?”

technologyvoid

They're family

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

The was uncertainty over continuing after the discovery that the experiment to become #013 had bonded with 3 sparks as well as its natural spark. One of its new sparks was activating randomly and was affecting its natural spark, trapping it continuously in a second for and leaving it like that for hours and once a whole day.

#013 remained drawn from the rest of the knights except for the occasional interaction with #010 who seemed to know it from time before the facility. Whether they had met before or it was from one of #010’s time travels is unknown.

Occasionally while trapped in its second form, #013 would go hunting through the city for something and would often end up back at the facility, scratching at the laboratory doors where unused experiments were contained.

technologyvoid

NOOOOOO ;-;

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

#140 was originally identified by #010 who claimed it “would be a knight soon.” It was indeed a success and ended up being one of the best tacticians of the legion.

It also bonded with an impressive spark that allowed it to summon a swarm of small warriors similar to #012’s second form.

With #014 came #015, the two had shared a foster house and had been willing given to the facility by #015’s only guardian under certain standards. This includes visits whenever said guardian is in town

#015 has shown to be a strong individual who will step up to any challenge with the correct motivation. It has shown to be a skilled escapist, often slipping out of the facility at night to watch the ship lights out on the dock.

technologyvoid

Awwwww 🥺

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

There was an issue with a bonding and the sparks escaped the case, escaping into the other experiments, many of them died, not fully prepared to bond, but one managed to bond with 4 with enough stability.

#016 joined the other knights and the carers reported that it became quick acquaintances with #015, apparently bonding over travel.

#016 provided no end of problems with a too early bonding causing flickers in its bond and often threatening to become unstable.

technologyvoid

Well that's not good

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

The beginning of a series of new tests brings about the creation of CPN0710, a chemical that allows a person to bond with even more sparks with less preparation. However it has side effects that can cause hallucinations and general insanity.

#013 became incredibly frantic in its second form on the day when the first CPN0710 experiment saw a successful output. Carers had to actively sedate it.

#017, while successfully bale to bond with 6 sparks, had to have its memory wiped after it began to throw a fit, screaming about eyes. It is however able to activate all of its sparks with ease and no sign of instability.

technologyvoid

Six-

MEMORY WIPE??? Now that's just rude-

luckybyrdrobyn-abandoned

Soon afterwards the second successful creation of a scratch night occurs, this time using the CPN0710 as a stabiliser.

#018 bonds with 8 sparks but loses its mind, it can’t hold though let alone a physical body for long periods of time.

#018 breaks out and disappears into the nearby woods, the facility send the other knights to kill it. They refuse, declaring that it is “one of them.” They come to an agreement to bring #018 back and attempt to recover its mind.

the first contact with shadow will be with Four or with one of the colors?

Knight 009 originally provided us much trouble, with it often carrying out actions it claimed were “missions” from some being we were unable to see or interact with. Such actions included destroying eighteen labs and breaking every lightbulb in one half of the facility.

Thankfully we were able to introduce it to Knight 004 with an instantaneous positive outcome.

While the two originally were completely incompatible socially, there was a great decrease in Knight 009’s destructive behaviour.

Prolonged separation from Knight 004 may cause such behaviours to re-emerge, and separation outside of controlled environments is not advised.

Heya! sooo..... I was thinking, since Picori's got hay fever, how does she deal with springtime? I mean, he's got plant related powers and could order plants in a certain radius from faer to at least close their flowers please and thank you (<- "but that aloe vera plant is under strict orders to never bloom"), but that wouldn't help with the pollen, so does he use antihistaminic or something? or does she just suffer in silent(or very loudly)?

If you’ve ever watched Miraculous Ladybug it’s very similar to Adrien’s issue with feathers.

Picori has to deal with crazy sneezing and a running nose. Certain plants will cause his eyes to tear up and a few plants cause inflamed skin.

Thankfully none of Picori’s reactions are lethal unless she consumes the irritant.

Fae has a handful of different medications he can use, and has a filter in her mask in her L1NK uniform

#l1nk au #l1nk questions #l1nk picori

what is their (the colors' opinion in regard of those first experiments and does four ever wish the first split had never happened? (kind of dark but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

007 doesn’t know where he is but he does know he is alone. The room he is in is clean and empty, he can see no signs of personality. A hotel room perhaps? Or a hospital?

A woman opens the door, she is dressed in white and blue. A hospital it is. She offered him water and he becomes aware of just how thirsty he is.

Why is he thirsty. Oh, he’s been crying. Why has he been crying? Why does he feel so alone?

The lady introduced herself, she seems nice. She talks to him about sparks. He remembers watching other kids play with their sparks, he always thought they were so pretty.

She shows him a candle and asks him to light it. He almost sets the whole room on fire.

It doesn’t take long to figure out how to control it but his control wavers when he remembers there’s something missing. Something gone. Someone?

questiony time from the pit of exam season!

how did the colors react to being forcibly separated right after the first split? (I understood that they were separated even from each other, not just from the other nights)

005 has spent the last three days banging on the walls, requiring physical restraint whenever facilitators or handlers required access. It has shown an aversion to eating but has been recorded agreeing to hydrate if it has watched a handler test first.

006 has been reportedly pacing around the room, refusing to speak any more than to cuss out the occasional facilitator who gets too close. Yesterday we were required to remove any large furniture that wasn’t bolted down after it used them to block the doorway and camera.

007 remains in the corner. It has been the most open to interaction with the facilitators and handlers but it’s mental state collapses with the slightest trigger.

008 has t moved. It stands there staring at the camera. It has t blinked. If it does not accept feeding soon we may have to restrain it and connect it with a drip.

004 is a broken unstable experiment. Originally the sparks reaction to too many bonds was to mutate and split the experiment into four versions of itself. Each of these facets, 005, 006, 007, and 008, have shown signs of two or more active sparks and some decent control over them.

Unfortunately it is believed their split was not a cloning as originally hypothesised, but rather a clean cut of an individual into four. This left the experiments incomplete and inefficient, on the edge of collapse. However, attempts to force reverse the process have indicated potential fatality along with immense destruction.

005, 006, 007, and 008 are currently being stored in an isolated set of units from the other knights and experiments. The four have shown an increasingly different array of attitudes and reactions towards testing. It is hoped that further isolation may allow them to mature into more stable states.

There was an issue with a bonding and the four had to be relocated, upon reintroduction to each other the spark pulled them back into one. It does not seem any more stable in this state but refuses to separate at this time.

004 is believed to currently trying to host 8/3s of a person with over 10 sparks at once. This has left it volatile and unstable. While only two sparks have been recorded as active it is vital we get this experiment under control immediately.

004 split again today, and the facets have been determined to still not be fully whole and do not seem to be improving further. Before this 004 was stabilising and beginning to show comfort with its sparks enough to consider becoming a knight.

It has been seen that the sparks active in 004 are not in 005, 006, 007, or 008, instead the other dormant sparks have split themselves amongst them. This could be a useful trick in a fight.

004-008 have shown negative response to extended periods of separation or fusion. It is believed that it has evolved too far as faces to neatly return to a single, but has not evolved enough to remain split. However, it has recently been introduced to the other knights and is fitting in well. It will bring a good level of balance to the team.

Further reports pending.

randomy questiony!

what is Twilight's favorite part of the city?

he spent a lot of time on the streets as wolfie, and nobody minds a dog wandering about, so he must have found some cool unusual spots?

There is no place better for a stray dog than a kindly butcher who always seems to have meat left to waste. It felt weird, stepping through the front door of that shop for the first time, looking down at the environment instead of up.

He was there, he always was, same big moustache that coveted half the man’s face, kind eyes twinkling out at him as he approached.

Twi wasn’t sure if the the man would have connected the wolf form “hero” on tv with the scruffy pup who would beg at his door. But the man’s kind smile said everything.

who's the local cryptid (aka sky) closest to?

(I’m assuming you mean out of the other knights here)

Sky cares greatly for all the other knights, but bird brain is very picky about safe ideal sleep locations, with him often struggling to sleep without certain precautions. Having said that, his ideal napping spots are Twi and Warriors.

questiony time!

Picori's powers are at least in part plant related, right? so, what's his favorite and least favorite plant? is there a plant in particular they simply just hate? (sis was rewatching she-ra and the princesses of power. that episode where Perfuma just looses her sh** because she can't deal with cacti? couldn't help but think of Picori and how fun it would be if there was just one single plant they despise for no apparent reason!)

Pocori, bless her, has hay fever. The only type of flower he truly appreciates are pressed. But life is life and no one gets to be truely happy forever, and pollen quickly goes from being particles in the air to golf balls of death.

Fae does have a little alo vera that lives inside her window but it’s under strict orders not to flower.
