Hello! I was wondering, since Vlad won't be the villain in the Space AU then is anyone else going to be the main villain (like Pariah Dark or something) or is it more of a 'minor villain of the day' kind of set up? I can imagine Skulker still being an obsessive hunter type character since Halfas would be super rare now and he'd be hell bent on collecting one (although I don't know what his drive would be in this case unless he ran some kind of zoo on his home planet or something?) Just curious!
yeah i was thinking more 'minor villain of the day', like how most of the show was set up, if only because theres so many different directions to take this au and so many things you could choose to focus on.
but if youre looking for a 'Big Bad' type of character, i think walker is currently in the best position for that sort of thing as of right now. (freakshow is a close second, simply because hes planned to show up for more than one separate plot event, but hes not as influential on as large of a scale idk). skulker is still a bounty hunter, and maybe he is walkers sometimes-henchman. and i think there was some theory floating around that pariah was walker's source of inspiration for his politics or something? but pariah dark is dead in this au, or at least out of commission somehow. lets just say hes 'not immediately plot-relevant' haha. as for dan, i imagine he ends up as some halpha that went feral but is trapped in the ghost zone, along with most of the rest of the halphas that werent killed by the disasteroid. maybe he shows up later.
theres a lot of ways to imagine 'things going wrong' and you can pretty much invent new planets for that purpose! there isnt anything concrete as far as conflicts go (besides danny having to keep his secret and valerie going awol at some point) so its pretty much whatever anyone wants it to be
