I’m curious about your Soul Eater au.
How did Vio change Red into a scythe so fast? What were they before? Were there any repercussions? If so, what were they?
I'm happy to answer questions about this Au anytime!
This is one of the original draft drawings from 2022 when I started working on it. (Some names and outfits in the au are being reworked)
For the reasoning as to why Red was changed to a full death sycthe so quickly. Vaati and Ghirahim ( taking the places of Lord Death & Spirit respectively in the au) clocked that Vio had ulterior motives to enlisting in DWMA. While the pair 100% got Vio's motives wrong on why he enlisted in the school, they decided to still allow his attendance with a condition.
Vio had 3 months to work with Red to collect 100 souls. Along with the soul of Vio's father in the au. (Happy Mask Salesman/ The Mask Warlock) Which was hinted at in this post with the pair outside the home where this Vio grew up. Ironically Red had been over at least 1-2 times before they went through with it, as Vio wanted to give Red and out in case things went bad for them. Which led to Red's opinion on Vio's home being " a sad place" as Vio's room at the time had no furniture aside from a metal bed & clothing rack with the one outfit he's been drawn in.
Red's weapon type has always been a scythe, even in the drafts from before I made the decision on them needing to be made a full soul weapon.
The only real repercussion the pair had was through Blue. He'd come over to visit Red, and came in without knocking. Leading to him overhearing a conversation Red & Vio were having about Vio having been raised by a Witch/Warlcok and having the capacity to use magic himself. However Vio kinda sucked at the magic part and preferred other things; leading to him trying and succeeding at using the DWMA as an out for him.
This led Blue to be a bit wary of the two for a bit, until Shadow decided the four of them should go to a club together. And that eased some tensions between them for a time. Vio however remains very awkward around most people aside from Red for a long time after the pair complete the task set by Vaati.
And Vaati himself actually did not expect Vio to succeed at all. After all it takes a lot of nerve to reap a person known for all of a lifetime so far.
