I been seeing various AU thoughts around so i guess id throw some obojima au breadcrumbs

Mira

- champion fighter / devotion paladin (lovergirl asf)

- dex based combatant

- highest WIS in the group. Fantastic at reading people and noticing clues. Less good at putting 1 and 1 together.

- species are all kinda homebrewed to fit the setting, but Mira is, in short, an Eladrin. She will earn her pink hair through the power of lesbianism.

- got the mom purse (bag of holding)

Zoey

- swashbuckler rogue / kensei monk

- returning shin-kal as both long- and short-ranged weapons

- obsessed w rumi’s tail (has never seen anything so cute in her life)

- highest INT. Got them BAD bad audhd blinders on but girlie has never met a puzzle she couldn’t solve. No fun fact is too niche. Have you heard about that test they did with snakes and babies, rumi?

- enjoys parkouring off her teammates. As a lightfoot halfling, she can get away with it too.

- designated button pusher for her ability to get the FUCK outta there

Rumi

- oni sorcerer / swords bard. Oni sorcs are new to the obojima setting and the more she spends her sorcery points, the more demonic she becomes until the traits reset at dawn.

- -2 to WIS. Has never introspected a day in her life. Feelings? She will outrun them. Thoughts? Grappled and stuffed in a bag.

- obsessed w rumi’s tail (deeply negative) (and horns and fangs and toe beans and—)

- stronkest

- dispater tiefling

Because of setting stuff that is probably boring to people, all the girls have these magical markings on their body that allow some extra spells. Rumi is marked of harmony, zoey is marked of nature, and mira is marked of selflessness. If i convince myself to write smut, ohhhhhhh those >:)

Bonus:

Celine

- battle master fighter / honmoon-flavored ancients paladin

- mark of fury on her hands

-shadar-kai

- Bobby’s soul smells like butter popcorn, freshly baked bread, and coffee that could pass for tar

- Derpy and Sussie haunt the narrative. Derpy may or may not be a minor deity

- in an effort to convince the girls that demons have feelings, i sawed this demon boyband in half!

- Jinu is a tragedy bard

edit: the fic is up on ao3, called The Winding Road. Im working on redoing the first few chapters now to accommodate for an improved story beat so read the og now or wait for the more polished version when im done w that

Consider, Rumi has expertise in deception for the obojima au, which is how she can still pull stuff over on mira and zoey.

Shes still getting a hang of the tail and ears and mood ring business, so it takes her a while, but she does get 2 expertise at bard 3 and shes gotta be tired of her measly (checks notes) +6 at 3rd level deception bonus 😂 im planning for her to take expertise in deception and persuasion but she could surprise me

Hopefully her dice set has a sense of humor, because mira’s +4 and zoey’s +2 insight are not doing them any favors 😭😭 the gays are gaying too hard to insight

Huntrix and even the best people will always be capable of causing hurt and injustice celine->huntrix->bobby pipeline save note
