!!!! i love outlast trials..!!! crossover ideas info dump:
fantasy mv could be cool. the angst. they need to have/be their own prime assets i can't have lee jaehwan from vixx meeting fucking OTTO and ARORA. no no no.
im thinking... n prime asset because hes so good at acting scary (,, . ̫. ,,) and i dont think he would be able to go through the trials as a reagent it would just kill him. yes from the mental torture aspect but also having to watch the other reagents (vixx) being mentally degraded and beaten to death by enemies.
SO! twist him entirely so he doesn't pack bond with vixx!reagents (obviously he will and does, eventually -- beside the point). completely stealing from "absolute value of romance" when i say this but: hardass christian school teacher prime asset!hakyeon whose delusion is making his students work harder harder harder. smalltown joy, he's bewitched parents and the community. heinous shit behind the scenes but the idea is that he feels so pure from the outside. and the shit he does is an open secret -- nobody gives a damn he's a wonderful man of god. his radiance blinds you from sin. that's his charisma, why he caught easterman's eye, that people know and still revere him. not csa but, you know... crimes.
truly i am just spitballing a less cool gooseberry. to not tie him wholly to religion and the education system, i think he is and represents the idea of community that his trials can then exploit. snitches get stitches kind of trial environment.
to summarize:. imagine hakyeon in a sexy priest outfit chasing you around the orphanage with a big spiky ruler. that's your prime asset.
ken-ravi-hongbin-hyuk as a team of reagents. leo can be the trial victim <3.
ken, stun rig, bar singer, wanted to volunteer with the murkoff outreach program to help people and stop living nocturnally. takes attention off people doing objectives as the most annoying man alive. literally like "heyy chase meee 👋👋👋👋 heyyy!!"
ravi, blind rig, poet struggling to find work, murkoff outreach program to maybe help earn some extra cash. usually the person doing objectives (but with his eyes closed so he doesnt see The Horrors). mostly dissociates through trials but the others help him see it as a game to win -- which is also dissociation in a cooler, more fun way. therapy would be working on him if not for them .</3
hongbin, jammer rig, compulsive gambler, not in horrific debt but close to it, encouraged to use the outreach program to turn his life around. hes a master of the tennis minigame. jammer rig so he can bait enemies into traps and laugh.
hyuk, x-ray rig, bored of menial life, charity outreach program to maybe give him a purpose. or maybe he's going with hongbin as a supportive bro #bros. makes sure everyone has medicine, spends a lot of trial time looking for bricks to throw at n.
..and i've run out of steam. here's the alternate au where they're running project lathe instead :D --
n as easterman. leo as wernicke*. hyuk as scarfiotti**. hongbin as avellanos because he is a snarky bitch and mad in his own right. ravi as amelia. ken as liliya(? i ran out of characters i find interesting. he's this or jun kusamura).
*mostly for toxic yaoi purposes but also because the idea of morally corrupt scientist leo is 🤤. looking back to hades inspiration, leo could also be avellanos cause that woman is praying for easterman's downfall. serve. avellanos positioning herself as a mother figure to reagents ===> milf leo :3
**because he said he could've been an architect that one time. and scarfiotti seems to be a "voice of reason," just living to insult easterman's ideas. sounds familiar... ALTHOUGH hyuk as clyde perry could also be fun. ughhh. going from state to state interviewing the (incredibly charismatic) vixx!prime assets. getting almost charmed by them, then they beat his ass. and he gets split in half. yuay.
