Toffie wants to ramble about little headcanons for the FTO rewrite/au. Part eight of my FTO Rewrite.
Although pt. 1 of headcanons
Some of the stuff I would have mentioned briefly in some of my other posts. I'll kinda sort them, or at least try to.
Ok so some stuff is based in canon but I just want it to be stated for the record.
Worship:
• Worship isn't as common in the modern day as it was during the times of seasons 2/3
° Most worshippers nowadays are descendants of other worshipers and or the descendants of priests
• It's not uncommon for people to worship different Gods based on their profession
° These people won't likely be going to temples for these gods since still active temples are few and far between
Dragon slayers of the Original Grimshade:
• Ok so dragon slayers, I've mentioned them before, but I will mainly be focusing on the first ones to be made.
• Allumos created the magic, that's still true here
° But the magic doesn't function the same between the dragon slayers that Allumos made vs. the ones in modern day Earthland
• In a sense they are kind of a first pass for the magic
° Not the prototype cause that's what I call the dragon magic users in FTO season 3
• The original dragon slayers would have more draconic features show through
• The original Lachrimas were made with blank dragon magic, and runes that would grab onto the hosts magic in order for the host the not have to worry about learning a new magic and their systems wouldn't be overloaded with too much foreign magic
° Allumos believed the reason the first few hosts for the testing Lachrimas didn't accept the magic is that it was too different from their own and caused a shock to their system
° Also the Lachrimas having attached to the host and using their magic to complete itself means that the hosts souls get stuck in the Lachrimas, unless the lachrima is removed before their death
• Aoi (Nix's Replacement) worked with them in helping to make the Lachrimas
° In turn the there are some feature that you would find on devil slayers, like pointed ears and black markings
• Each dragon slayer had unique black markings.
• Their original base was made by Allumos using Sagittarius to carve out the tunnels under Atlantide
° That is why there are so many tunnels under the city
• Each of the members had their own pseudonym, they made to mainly raise their spirits
• Like Allumos their dragon slayer forms, would have more draconic features, and their versions of dragon king mode was literally just a dragon
° Extremely difficult to enter King mode
• They would make armor and weapons out of the scales and bones of dragons they killed
• I'll talk more about each of the original members that I made later
Allumos:
• I guess I should probably do ethnicity, so Nordic based, it's a bit more complicated since real world countries don't exist here
• Star pupils
• I give her new body post season 5 time
° Figures out she's trans around then
• I think in her original body she was on the shorter side, and was malnurished
° Not Albino in my rewrite, I make her tan
° Magenta eyes, platinum blonde.
• Was a teenager during the time of the dragon war
° War started when she was about 15
• Horrible at taking care of herself, surprisingly better while in Pat's body but still not good
Viper:
• Is it a surprise that I make him Puerto Rican, I base it off the VA being Puerto Rican
• His Lachrima belonged to one of the original dragon slayers that Allumos created
° :)
• I want him to be a feathery dragon
• He was born with Ice magic from his mom's side
° He runs cold, and the cold doesn't bother him as much as it does a normal person
° Doesn't have as great of resistance as a regular ice mage
• Has had some training as a blacksmith
° I made his family known for making enchanted weapons/armor they use runes to do so
Devin & Michael:
• As children the two look nearly identical
° This caused the old guild master of Grimshade to color code them
• The red and purple streaks are dyed
° Devin physically dyed it and Michael's magic dyed his
• They're Dhampyr
° It causes them to have their red eyes, a white streak in their hair, pointed canines, and slightly pointed ears
° Also the need to drink some blood to stay healthy
° They can go without blood but it's like they're not having vital nutrients
• It's basically canon that they are descendants of season 2/3 Michael
Devin:
° Heavily implied by the VAs
• I'd imagine that they'd be of Asian descent at least, not sure about specifics tho
• Was willing to drink blood, and during the 8 years being controlled by Eden definitely didn't feel grossed out by it.
° Definitely committed a Cannabalism
• I want Devin to have a slightly softer body type since he eats sweets a lot, and his magic doesn't require him to move around a lot
° He has muscles but they are more for dexterity and speed (was a mercenary)
Michael:
• Less willing to drink blood, substitutes with bloodier steak on occasion
° Because of this it makes him a little malnourished
• Malnourished, due to missing nutrients and also is shown not to take care of himself when people he cares about are missing
° Him being so short is part of this
• His shadow magic makes him paler
° The lack of sleep doesn't help either
• I think he has muscles but they are more lithe like how I mention Devin's more built for dexterity and speed
° I think he is more muscular than Devin tho, the big ass scythe kinda requires it
• When he doesn't take care of himself he is quite boney
° The paleness, sunken in cheeks, eye bags, and how he can shadow travel makes people genuinely believe that he is a ghost.
• His magic and also lack of self care was actively killing him
Kay:
• Parents thought she was a changeling because of her magic
• Took on some Fox like features from her adoptive fox family
° Although her only staying for 18 years makes it seem more like foatering
° Pointed ears, sharper teeth, slit pupils, black fade from her nails to the secondary joints of her fingers, and a fox tail
• I think that her Fox family were Fox spirits, they were too sentient
° I get suspension of disbelief but the foxes read a flyer
• She wants to look human so she hides the fox-like features that she has
• Uses magic to preserve her baked goods
° I don't like thinking that all of the food goes to waste
• Attracted to 'Bad boys' that are nice to her
Mario/Mars:
• Understanding my headcanons about this one requires looking at my post about Dragons
• Doesn't understand human concepts of gender
° Knows that sex does not equal gender, but doesn't understand why the concepts are still linked together
° What is Mars' gender, they don't even know
° Divinus uses he/him and Mars' doesn't care what they're called
° Dragon gender is One who Fights/One who Defends
• Leaf used Dragonqueer as the descriptor of Blake's gender for it's au/FTO rewrite, I'm stealing it for Mars now too
• Skipping stones
° No I will not explain
• During season 4 crashes on David's couch a lot
• Has a cavern den under Divinus Magia's Island
° Puts things that they hoard in there, lots of plants
• Stayed in David's house while they were stuck in the book
° Slowly started moving everyone's things off the island after a while
• Can lift people up easily
° For some reason this isn't really blocked by anti magic items
• Before Ech got their name, Mars called them Sprout
° Now it's a nickname
That's all the HCs I feel like talking about for now
'The Archangel Michael Overthrowing Lucifer' - Francesco Maffei (d. 1656)
Because I love me some Biblical references, here is my favourite one. FTO!Michael and Devin who symbolise Archangels, Michael and Lucifer. ⚔️

"When even the one closest to you fails you— the only place you have to turn now is The Garden. Find yourself in the true place of God's [Tranquility]" - Devin/Eden's book: 'Tranquility'
~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~◇~
Michael is the Archangel Michael, the Warrior of God and Leader of God's armies. 🛡
Devin is Lucifer, the Fallen Angel, who famously fought Michael and God's army and lost. 🪞
Lucifer's Pride (the first sin) caused him to rebel against God, he desired to become God himself, to take the Throne of Heaven. Eden, who is Devin's ego and pride, believed he should've become Grimshade's Guild Leader...
Eden/Devin fight Michael and lose...
~
The Garden of Genesis is a clear reference to the Garden of Eden from the Genesis. 🍎
Genesis means Beginning of Something hence why Eden's Office looks like Grimshade's office. Grimshade is where it all began after all...

"I guess it's kind of ironic, isn't it Eden... Devin. That you believe yourself to be a God, and I'm a God Slayer. I guess that's how it's meant to be." - Michael in S4, GRIMSHADE SECRETS!!
