i dont know enough about beastwalker au tell me all about it pls pls pls
I will say, massive credits go to @dual-hunters-mh for coming up with the Beastwalker AU. You can find their first post about it here, and I'm pretty sure they have all their posts under the #snailvolt shifter au tag! Here's some other posts of theirs related to it!: Post One, Post Two, Post Three
A quick rundown from my end at least: Beastwalkers are Shifters, those who can transform into monsters, indistinguishable from a regular monster.
Beastwalker families tend to pass down the same monster 'classification'. For example, Lileas and Leah are both Nu Udra Beastwalkers - but due to the Cephalopod classification, Conan is a Xu Wu Beastwalker! They typically live to the max lifespan of their monster counterpart, even though Beastwalkers seem to only be humans.
Now, for my own ramblings about my Beastwalker stuff!
As I said before, Lileas and Leah are Beastwalkers - Nu Udra to be exact. In this AU, Mahana is a Beastwalker village instead of a Rider village, with their family being comprised of Cephalopod Beastwalkers. Conan inherited this, being a Xu Wu.
When Lileas lost her legs, it attributed to the loss of her two back tentacles. Due to this, she doesn't prefer to turn often as she's been weakened. She lives in the Forbidden Lands, having not been found by the Guild, but instead taken in by Kunafa (how did she get East? Shhh go along with it). She's eventually found out by the Guild when she fights against the Black Flame in her own monster form, recognised by Erik - who turns out to be a fellow Beastwalker, being a Pukei-Pukei.
I have played about with the idea of other ocs being Beastwalkers, you can find all of my ocs as Beastwalkers here! (Although I'll have to correct it since Dusk is a Wyverian... ignore him.)
