[dremmaru]

wyd when the hoglin gladiator you're supposed to supervise suddenly turns into an almost human looking guy??

EmDuo au concept

I woke up a few days ago with this idea for an emerald duo fic so i sketched these concepts up to test ideas

Basically, Phil and Techno are creatures in a facility used for harvesting rare and unique animal parts and selling them on the black market

Techno was a rare breed of hoglin that could regrow its tusks, so he was harvested from since he was a young teen

They took feathers from Phil until someone requested both his wings

They got one off before Techno broke loose, killing a lot of people and escaping with Phil

Imagine villain!emduo where they do some kidnapping along with other villainy things. But Techno and Phil have differing views about how to knock someone out while kidnapping them. Phil's an expert at potion making and prefers to use his potions to render someone unconscious (think like chloroform). Techno prefers to just knock them out the old fashioned way - using his fists. When Phil asks why, the conversation goes like this:

Phil: Using my potions are way easier, why bother with your fists?

Techno: Do you know how harmful those chemicals are to the body?

Phil, in disbelief: So you can bash a man's head in but draw the line at drugging? God forbid the Blood God gives his kidnappees chemical poisoning.

Techno: Bruhhhh

Hello please tell me all you have about Feathers and Teeth emduo

hehe

ok time for an info dump

techno was captured when he was a young teen and brought to the black market facility which is housed in the nether. Phil was found in the overworld but brought to the facility too when he was in his mid teens.

By the time they get away, Techno is 17 and Phil is 23.

More details (with a warning for injury)

Techno has a rare hoglin mutation that allows him to regrow his tusks at a rapid rate. They grow to about 6 inches (including the root) in about a month before they slow to a cm a month unless removed. When the people in the facility removed the tusks, they left the open root canals for the new tusks to fill so they wouldn't need to use any supplies to heal what would be broken quickly.

Because of all the growth and removing of his tusks, Techno's jaw pretty much always hurt. They did numb him a little when they removed them, but it wasn't nearly enough. When he was younger, he would lash out until they learned he would cooperate if they threatened to hurt any of the other specimens they kept there. (which they did anyways but he was a kid and thought they wouldn't lie)

Phil meanwhile was a young elytrian soaring free in the mountains when he was captured. For a while the unnartural heat of the nether was enough to keep him sedated while the people at the facility would remove and sell his fethers one at a time. As word of his beautiful feathers spread around the black market, there was more demand and thus more pain. Inevitably, someone offered big cash for a whole wing.

They were very careful when cutting his wing off of his back as to not "damage the merchandise", but the sedations wore off too fast and Phil let out a shrill scream which awoke a primal rage in Techno. He broke out of his room and trashed the facility on his way to the operation room where Phil was, the scream guiding him. The people had just finished removing Phil's right wing when Techno broke into the room and killed everyone.

Techno only came back to his senses when he heard Phil's soft whimpers of pain from where he was curled in the corner of the room. Techno found some healing potions and managed to get Phil to drink one which stopped the bleeding. Techno resolved to get Phil out of there before returning to rescue the other hybrids and creatures that were trapped.

They travel through the nether for a bit before coming across a group of explorers. Techno is warry of them at first but his concern for Phil outweighed his hostility. Thankfully the adventurers were friendly and helped the two of them clean up and patch up Phil's back. The adventurers gave them supplies and directed them back to their portal to the overworld.

Techno and Phil travel for a while in the overworld, never staying in one place for too long out of fear of being captured again. Word reaches them that the adventurers discovered the black market dealers' base and reported it. Techno was relieved to know the other hybrids he knew were there were in better places now.

Techno and Phil spent the next years healing, traveling, and training together and became very close friends. Phil had to get used to only having one wing, so his balance was a bit off for a bit, but he got used it it. The two of them traveled south for a while before they came to a mountain with an old mine in it. There they met Pete.

Yes I just now decided that this ties into the Antarctic Empire plot, cause why not
