Mmmm tell us abt kanade maria and sword in the au. Is shirabe-fine still a thing? Also how would shenshoujin miku fit in this au?

kanade was bitten and turned into a werewolf by pureblood werewolves when her family was attacked and killed. between the trauma of that and the changes to her nature that followed, she spent a long time EXTREMELY emotionally volatile and self loathing

SONG being more of a group oriented towards these sorts of problems, genjuro still takes her in and tries to rehabilitate her along with edge her out of her reckless, revenge-driven attitude

most of that change comes from tsubasa, however, who has lived with genjuro since she was very young. 

she’s somewhere between harpy and angel, with wings that span from her back but feathers that cover portions of her body, scale plating over the tops of her hands and feet, talon-like nails, and a song almost hypnoticly ethereal 

nobody knows quite why something like her happened, but it’s assumed to be the kazanari’s deep connection to holy spirits and creatures. she was essencially to be the manifestation of that, a clan leader “directly connect to the heavens”, but the attitude it inspired was unhealthy enough for genjuro to think it best to remove her from the situation. 

as confidential of a topic as her existence is, there isn’t much her parents could do to stop that decision coming from a top secret government organization ydig

im not about kanade dying because fuck that so her attack on hibiki during the full moon ends with her brutally injuring herself in a moment of lucidity trying to spare the girl, something that sends her into severe shock and a prolonged coma 

maria is the result of trying to create a creature like that artificially, a manmade demihuman, and she was considered pretty much the “trophy” of the project. mostly because she was one of the few that 1. survived 2. had any level of notable compatibility to the changes to her DNA. her transformations come easier than kanade and hibikis and she could be held to the standard of a “superior” breed or werewolf

serena was put under the same experiments but was unable to deal with the physical strain it put on her. the results of that are.... predictable, and the reason maria leaves with shirabe and kirika

shirabes connection to fine is more closely attributed to the fact that her magic comes from similar sources so they essencially draw from the same well, so to speak. fine’s carelessness and haughtiness causes her powers to start corroding her mind, and the same could be said for shirabe if she pushes herself too far for too long. 

miku’s gear would probably translate to another magical artifact of the same flavor, one that magnifies her horrible feelings about hibikis situation and eats away at her sense of reason until there’s a physical confrontation in which she tries to “cure” hibiki with something that would.... probably kill her. not in her right mind, of course, and not with that intention, but moreso due to the fact that someone else planted the seeds of something nasty and corrupted in her heart

this is something miku feels painfully horrible about for a long time after, especially seeing as she was one of the only people to not reject hibiki after the accident and it leaves her terrified that hibiki will start to think she’s held her in nothing but hate or disgust when, really, the disconnect between shenshoujin!miku (for lack of better terms) and regular miku is enough that it feels like a crime committed by someone else in her own body

You've awakened the au lover in me tell us more please, this is some good shit

IM GLAD YOU THINK SO

im not sure what to talk abt specifcally so ill just ramble about stuff that comes to mind okay hello

kirika being shirabe’s “familiar” is part of a sort of contract between them, so to speak--- kind of a pact both supernatural and emotional where the two have a very deep and bonded connection, one almost to the degree of a mental link where they can get a (very general) feel on what the other is thinking or feeling when they put energy into the connection. far from telepathy, but more accurately an extra sense fine tuned to one another

the sort of thing you find yourself “just knowing” 

kirika’s primary task is finding what shirabe needs to keep her magic charged (and her health up--- it’s very taxing on someone who isn’t born inhuman, after al) and shirabe’s rituals mainly involve gemstones, drawn sigils, chants, and channeling natural energy around her (she meditates outdoors a lot for this reason)

kirika can shift between feline and human form, though she prefers human because it’s easiest to communicate with shirabe when they’re both on the same wavelength so to speak

shirabe’s magic mainly manifests in the form of ESP (she can move things with her mind, create barriers, levitate objects and creatures)

after the experiments on them began to sour, maria took responsibility for the two of them and the three escaped together to (ideally) live a quiet life away from several layers of traumatic past

other cute tsubasa bird things:

ruffles her feathers when she’s embarrassed

cocks her head to the side like a lot

exclusively wears shitty tank tops with low sleeves and exposed shoulders to accomidate her Bird Parts

Ok ok,how would the ignite module (or its equivalent if it doesn't exist) work in the au? I imagine it gives them bigger/sharper teeth and claws and makes them look more monstrous. Like turns their fur/scales/feathers darker and for example chris gets spikier

SPOT ON, ANON. ignite modules basically keep their identity as a stronger form, but one more reliant on the creature’s inherent biology IE ignite!bikki would be larger, stronger, and more imposing looking but with considerably less self control and far more intense violent urges. in the case of the werewolves, this is most applicable under irregular moon phases (like eclipses or the strawberry moon) but the state can probably be forcibly induced with outside interference

still working out what i want that common thread to be (since it has to be one thing that can induce that sort of state in many creatures) but it’ll more or less be a physical object that causes their nature to go out of control

Genjuuro has to take care of two sad wolves and an angery one, his sword bird niece who leaves feathers everywhere, an angsty dragon who sets fire to everything (his plants are ruined), a gay witch and her gayer cat and then later gotdamn tinkerbell, but it's ok because he loves all of them

genjuro’s academy for sad pointy children with parent issues

its ok bc he lives to improve the lives of others and i think that’d be especially true with tsubasa’s situation giving so much perspective on the warped views of these people who are very human at heart

however headquarters is a place where chaos reigns and tranquility goes to die

also since werewolf aus are literally all about the hot scars, i am pleased 2 inform that hibiki’s are long gashes across her chest and kanade’s are on one side of her shoulderblade (over the shoulder that her tattoo is on most likely) spanning most of her back 

maria was injected with the furry so she gets off easy
