GUYS I HAD AN IDEA

what if I did a marvel/mcu/avengers arcana AU? this idea sturck me in the middle of the night and I think I might be onto something, here are what I think for the MC + M6

MC - Steve Rodgers. Not all of the arcana characters will translate exactly to marvel ones in this AU, but in this case I think the whole died/came back and the frozen in the ice/man out of time character arcs could parallel really nicely. Throw in some memory loss too, why not?

Asra - Now, if MC is Steve Rodgers, it makes sense for Asra to be Peggy, however I don't like Asra as a LI and therefore I think he should be a Dr. Strange-style magician. I don't know a lot about Dr. Strange lore, so I don't have much more info, but that's where he'd be in the marvel universe.

Nadia - Asgardian Princess. Easy. Obviously we'd have to rework Asgard to fit the Satrinava family a bit more, but I can totally see a world where due to competition from her sisters, Nadia got cast out and/or decided to leave Asgard for Earth.

Julian - Agent of SHIELD turned Spiderman. Listen I know you're thinking "Rayne, what the hell? That doesn't make sense." But hear me out! He doesn't like magic, so we start with a Clint Barton vibe of "what the hell why is there magic everywhere I'm literally Just A Guy." And then! To parallel the plague beetle incident, Julian gets bit by the radioactive spider and now he's Spiderman! He's still confused but he's got the spirit. And he can also use his webbing to do like medical stuff cause he will still be a doctor.

Muriel - Hydra experiment. Bucky Barnes style. Parallel the gladiator/forced violence with the idea that he was given the super serum in order to become a living weapon. To be determined if he also time traveled like MC/Steve did, and if so if they knew each other or not.

Portia - Agent of SHIELD, like her brother (sans Spiderman). If we really want to parallel the arcana lore we can say they were long lost siblings and met again when they both became agents, but I'm not sold on that yet. I do think at some point she should end up running the agency. I'm imaging a cross between Maria Hill/Nick Fury for her character role.

Lucio - I think the obvious answer is make him Tony Stark, but I have another idea. Make him a Widow. Morga thought he was weak, sent him off to Dreykov/The Devil (yes I'm paralleling those two) to make him stronger, without exactly realizing what that meant for him. He ends up working as an assassin for the Red Room/Hydra (paralleling his mercenary days in the arcana), and to tie in with Muriel's story he could even help manage some of the Hydra experiments. If he gets his redemption arc (which I probably will give him cause I love redemption arcs), then he can fill a Natasha Romanoff role. And bonus: while I could make the Red Room take boys and girls for the sake of this AU, this actually gives me a chance to hit Lucio with the transgender beam. Because I'm trans and that's what I do.

I don't usually post wips or sketches but I really really want to share *something* so uhhh here take black widow lucio sketches (pre and post leaving the red room)

I'm making Muriel the Winter Solider, but I figured it'd make so much more sense if I gave Lucio the prosthetic. The Red Room was fairly involved with Hydra/the Winter Soldier in the comics iirc so it works. Also trans Lucio because I said so

I thought maybe having one of those cool looking masterlists would help motivate me to do stuff, cause fancy looking list makes adhd go brrrr ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

I'm Coming Wait For Me (I Hear the Walls Repeating)

The story of Apprentice Rayne. A conglomeration of my favorite routes, storylines, and headcanons, woven together in into one. A few liberties are taken with canon to make the story blend better, and because I felt like it. Central pairings are Rayne/Julian/Lucio, Asra/Muriel, and Nadia/Portia. Somewhat inspired by Hadestown.
