Johns: Verses because things are getting confusing

coeus

early 2000s part of his main timeline where he's a former failed experiment/current guard at coeus: an evil top secret research facility in the arizona desert (created by @vitalphenomena)

main

after coeus burns down, he does neo noir plots where he's a bad guy henchman

western

nigel, a british officer, gets a letter one day telling him that he did so good at the raj that he has been given land and a young beautiful wife in america. he forces one of his manservant's sons, [redacted], to travel with him to carry his shit across country and also as a gift for his new bride. turns out it was a scam. nigel gets robbed and goes mad in the arizona desert. johns survives and grows up quickly. currently works as a bounty hunter. he wants to make enough money to go home but there's always something in his way

gooniverse

same as main but more tailored for whimsy and superhero interactions. he's a no nonsense goon, a trade union representative for a local faction of goons, and is in a healthy, long-term employment situation with spiderman villain adrian toomes aka the vulture

johns wick

it's not far off from his main verse but it's an au where he grew up in the real world and is a member of a house in b.desh. i've retconned it so he doesn't have superpowers, is just very good at not dying

alienearth

colonial space marine. kind of like tac ops for offworld conflicts/missions depending on the company. i think he's a cyborg. it's more about the vibe than the details

space au

more for space opera like dune and star wars.

a 'shader', a very rare, in-demand assassin/spy/mercenary/bodyguard from the planet safiyin who only speak in short poetic sentences. safiyin is a river planet (space banglad.esh). years ago the empire colonised safiyin and the rivers are now highly toxic because it's used as a dumping ground for retired warships. pneuma is covered in chemical burns from wading in the water, an indicator that he was born on safiyin and his shader training was legitimate

crowns and shit au

johns is a sellsword.

alt a: he's max theyer's bodyguard and assistant. max theyer is a member of an organisation who commit ritual murders/assaults on women. margot, a rich merchant's daughter, is hunting max and johns serial killer style

alt b: crowns and shit with ax and lye: jumped up teenage sellsword sent by a high prefect (pope nigel) to catch a witch bastard (phil) in the woods. sees the boy do miracles. high prefect takes the boy in the woods as a ward for secret political reasons. a sibling/true believer dynamic develops. johns believes the boy is the true king that the high prefect has prophecied (though the high prefect doesn't believe that himself he just wants to black mail the boy's father) and this belief has set him on the straight and narrow as a servant to the boy, the high prefect, and the high city. vow of celibacy. wants to be temperate but remains addicted to many vices from his previous libertine lifestyle due to his nature and how brain chemicals work. bodyguard for the boy as he gets older (who is literally the antichrist) and secret secretary for the high prefect who's getting senile

coeus: continuum

au where coeus never burned down because spirit harris was locked in solitary confinement. juniper hayes takes over her parent's facility and continues the horrors. spirit is feral. it's kind of neo western involving conspiracies, betrayals, and johns never being more closer to taking over the world with a baby factory full of supersoldiers. once juniper is out of the way

desert trip au

one shot where spirit harris/e72 is hallucinating that the cast of coeus are in a musical after trying to unalive herself

**SPACE AUs**

*Pneuma*

Occupation: commonly known as a 'Shader', a very in-demand Assassin/Spy/Mercenary/Bodyguard from the planet Safiyin

Planet: Safiyin. Safiyin is a river planet. Historically it was home to warrior-poet-martial-artists and fishing alcoves. Years ago the empire colonised Safiyin (very quickly) (no one had guns or star ships), and the rivers are now highly toxic because it's being used as a dumping ground for retired warships. All the fish died and the inhabitants must rely on food rations from the empire in exchange for labour. The main trades on Safiyin are ship-breaking (taking apart warships for scraps), industrial labour, prostitution and informing on your neighbours. A rare few are still taken as children, chosen to become 'Shaders' in the foothills of the mountains. Shaders were historically a special warrior class that used to keep order on the planet. The practice is dying out at the same rate that the teachers die out. Very few, once they've completed this training, stay to fulfill their peacekeeper obligations now that the galaxy has opened up for the younger generation.

Notes: Pneuma is covered in chemical burns from wading in the water, an indicator that he was born on Safiyin and his Shader training was legitimate.

*Rifat*

Occupation: Dictator. Took part in a coup against his home planet's royal family. Got voted in as leader. Quickly became tyrannical but under very reasonable policies. Anti class anti religion pro progress. Aggressively expanding his borders. Wants his power to be legitimised in the eyes of the galactic senate/trade federation (also kinda corrupt) but they rescind his application every time.

Planet: Ruruk. Formerly part of Belarilia's commonwealth (@petitsdieu). Rich in mineral resources. You can put your shovel in the soil and find sapphires big as your eye and every trace metal you need to build a reactor. To say nothing of the pearl harvesting and the jewelry artisans. However, under Rifat's reign he has repurposed the smiths into shipyards. Everything went from Art Nouveau to Brutalist very quickly. Very interested in technology and exploration.

People: The Rurik. Many were kept iliterate by the royals and mostly worked in crafts and trades. Human, but due to regional variations their natural eye colour is black.

Notes: Currently at war with the Knight dynasty, a religious order headed by Mackenzie Knight (@vitalphenomena)
