Role reversal Ask... Let's say Prompto was the Niff prince, Gladio was his high born advisor, Ignis was his lethal (but impeckably dressed) body guard, and Noctis is the plebe who befriends the prince. What are they like in their new rolls?
IF ITS DRUNK HEAD CANONS YOU WANT, ITS DRUNK HEAD CANONS YOU GET! <3 <3
Prince Prompto, the First of His Name, He Who Brings the Sunshine, Rider of Glorious Chocobos: Honestly.. I can’t see Prom being anyone else but Prom. I mean I’m assuming in this AU he’s not MT, he’s had a more stable home-life, etc. But can he still be our Prom-Prom? I think so. Perhaps he has more regal mannerisms and he knows which silverware gets used for what at the fancy dinners, but he’s sneaking down to the arcades and trying to draft legislation to make chocobos the official state mascot.
Royal Advisor Gladiolus, Chamberlain to the Prince, Foremost Tactician of Gralea: Dude has his head stuck in a book all the time. Oh wait, that’s basically canon. Well I mean… seriously. Gladio was just an education track away from being an advisor?? He’s so fucking smart he could do the job, if he hadn’t been so focused on his blood destiny of being Shield. So this isn’t really a big stretch to me. And I won’t lie (in vino veritas? even though I’m drinking cider?): Gladio with the accent? Panty-dropper. *bows*
Shield Ignis, Bodyguard to the Prince, Hereditary Soldier of Awesomeness: Ignis was raised from the cradle with the knowledge that his heart beat for one purpose: to give him the strength to protect the prince with everything that he is, with no hesitation, until his dying breath. That doesn’t mean he cannot look his best, nor does it stop him from making eyes at the aloof Royal Advisor…
Noctis, a simple citizen of no importance, who meets our prince at school: He’s basically still him but so much… lighter? He’s unburdened by duty. He isn’t chosen. He isn’t heir to a kingdom. He’s just… Noct. Happy, fishing, gaming, napping. He does his best to support his best friend Prompto who feels the weight of that crown that will someday sit on his golden haired head. But really overall, while a bit lonely at times, Noct is just a really happy young man who is thrilled that he crossed paths with Prompto - not because he’s royal, but because they just get each other.
