Another post! This time featuring what the antagonists for my AU might look like. While Akane and Nekomaru are locked in the rest is up to changes in the future. Kyoko and Celestia were put on a poll but the results I believe I didn't set up properly, so now I'm amending that somewhat. I drew both sets in these sketches, and when enough time has passed I'll set up another poll, properly this time on strawpoll.
As for some design explanations and lore you can check under the cut :)
Kyoko and Makoto I believe are pretty straightforward here, I gave Kyoko a neckerchief that goes pretty far down to give her that sort of upper class educated look, while Makoto I gave a smart little jacket. There's only so far you can go with the normal boy, but I also made his hair fluffier and nicer. His ahoge is there but it's normally combed back, and only springs to full life when he's in murder mode.
Kyoko joined her dad in leaving the tradition of detective work behind and entered the business world where she used her analytical mind to be the best damn stock investor in the world, while definitely something she excels at it's not something she finds particularly fulfilling.
Makoto is a wholesome, normal dude who loves writing books about wholesome stories with good endings, while his family was and still is normal, he was captured once by unscrupulous scientists wanting to explore Despair and its mysterious qualities. Makoto never gave in, but in his suffering developed an alter ego who was grimly invested in justice above all else.
Sparkling Justice is a night haunter, who exclusively goes around killing murderers and evildoers against Makoto's wishes. Choosing to right any injustice he sees in the world, allowing for happy endings for the victims, surely?
I went hard with celes and hifumi a long time ago in previous designs, so here they are with similar designs as I gave them before. Hifumi wears a suit vest, and a button-up underneath while still keeping his bag... which may or may not be more than just a simple bag...
Celestia was born a normal kid and absolutely hated that life, so when a relative of hers from Europe visited she begged them and her family to go with them and she did. She grew up exploring Europe, and would propose money-making schemes to her family abroad and would eventually be able to fund the glamorous lifestyle she always thought she deserved.
Hifumi is just a writer-focused version of himself, though with a particular love for action-romance novels and fiction rather than strictly heart-melting novels like Touko. He's a sweet boy but very weird and horny for Celestia, so he's completely useless around her. He's basically a tool... just like...
ROBO-JUSTICE is a serial killer known for their modus operandi of targeting particularly attractive and very mean women with hammers or blunt force trauma. This alter was formed after one particularly awful night of bullying resulting in Hifumi getting thrown into an abandoned industrial park and nearly dying from exposure to wires and sharp metal. Despite this though, it is almost entirely subservient to Celestia whenever it surfaces from Hifumi's mind.
Akane and Nekomaru I've already drawn before, but I think it'd be nice to give some of the backstory I've planned for them.
Akane is a well-meaning, brash, and reckless person whose freakish natural strength pairs with a luck that does everything except help her directly. Random and unpredictable, Akane desperately tries everything she can to get into extremely unpredictable and dangerous situation for her luck to grace those around her with the best outcome from her misfortune, even if it means hurting a lot of people in the process.
Nekomaru was inspired by the nonstop hard work he saw the nurses had to do when they were treating his heart condition. So inspired that he made it his solemn vow to join them whatever it took, leading him to become the ultimate nurse. He would, however, be the first of his classmates to fall to the despair of the mastermind, as his well-meaning nature drew him into a trap he could not predict.
For Rantaro and Tenko I took inspiration from M. Bison(Dictator) and Criss Angel specifically. These are the most experimental designs I have as you can tell, but I plan on working on them a lot.
Tenko's story involves her becoming the head of her little "dojo" and straight up turning it into a cult, with her as the ultimate supreme leader and the greatest fighter in the world.
Rantaro started off doing magic for her sisters, and got so good at making them happy that one of them introduced his magic act to the world through sites like youtube, causing him to become a sensation drooled over by millions of girls around the world.
When did the fandom start shipping Rantaro and Tenko?
I'm not saying I do, but I'm asking when in this series' history did fans think that it was a good idea to ship Rantaro and Tenko? Like, was it right after NDRV3 came out in 2017, or was it years later?
Rantaro is his canon 5’10ft height but tenko is 7’7ft
This au is actually gonna be combined with mono’s bb side of the au! But the dr will slowly convert to pva ocs so people don’t lose their shit over amacha being one of the main ships of the au (along with meyron) but this au is set in the beginning of the medieval era right after the fall of the Roman Empire (which isn’t a clear date but shhh it is for this au)
The submitters of Komamiki point to the at times hateful tension between the two characters and the fact Komaeda is heavily coded to be gay.
Rantenko
The submitters of Rantaro point to Tenko's dislike of men and heavy lesbian coding. They negatively comment on all Tenko/Men ships and picking Rantenko to champion it.
You know a friend of mine asked me if I could join her band called Release Morning as a vocalist.
At first, I don’t want to join because I’m not sure if I’m good at singing yet but she keeps insisting that I’m good.
Papa, what is your job exactly? Mama said that your job is to help Shuichi Ojisan by travelling somewhere. It’s that true? When you’re home I have so much to ask you! Like why Mama always bring me to the hospital when I'm not sick?
Papa… I’m already 16 now, I’m the youngest member of the Release Morning. My Alias is Amai. I’m the Ultimate Linguist. I also learn how to do Aikido with Mama.
Papa… remember the last time we met? Yeah, it was on my 7th birthday. What are you doing exactly? Why can’t you stay here with us? Why you never at least let us know what are you doing?
You never call us, or text us. You probably forgot about your daughter’s name that you give. Is your work is really that important and it makes you forgot about your family?
But… whatever you do, please stay safe. I know someday you’ll be back with us again. And when that happen I won’t let you go again.
I missed you Papa.

A/N: I'm bored. And this just randomly passed my mind😂
//Rin calls her parents with 'Papa ' and 'Mama' shows how close she is her parents although she's not really close with her father.
//Rantaro haven't visited his family for 9 years and he never calls them nor keep touch with his family since he's busy with his job helping Shuichi.
