Can you give a rundown on the kinds of aus for Sindec you have? I'm interested in knowing all the ideas you have for how things could differ from the canon story!
EEEE!! thank you for askingg :::-3 okay, brace yourself. sorted from simplest to most convoluted.
Everything so nice au: AU where nothing bad happens EVER, instead of letting his disdain boil into true hatred, abram and zaphkiel talk. It takes a long time before they can truely be on normal terms again after arbella is in full swing. But the war is effectively prevented. Jadon, Malachi, and Gaius can use this free time to construct methods to prevent, manage, and eventually partially cure burning! They get to live their lives happily forever. This AU is mostly to explore cute shippy stuff, and also to imagine them playing and having fun with citizens. Just some nice sweet fluffy fluff. who doesn't want that on occasion?
Everything isn't so bad: AU where the batter has the ability to heal corruption, very notable that this batter is a "Healer" and not a purifier. Instead of killing each guardian he is able to heal them of their corruptions. This goes all the way to Abram, and while he is the personification of sickness, batter is able to provide him the ability to have full control over these destructive powers. Zaphkiel is stopped, and Batter forces him to adknowledge what he's doing, and why. Something I like to chew on when I want more character light angst stuff. i find it very interesting to consider the recovery from this horrific thing they've lived through. Eventually, batter becomes a third god of sorts, but once his purpose is fulfilled he becomes more of a person. since he gets to live a life that is his own. my favorite part of this au is probably Adam, because I imagine batter is the first one to truely fully adknowledge the breadth of who he is as a person. fun stuff!
District Attendants: Au where every district gaurdian gets a little helper like roland! Malachi's assistant is named Noah, he's currently trying to shoo away the bird specters, he's become more timid in his time watching malachi become unrecognizable from who he used to be. Jadon's assistant is named Aliza, she's the only person that jadon will allow to see him, and even then its just so she can say hello and occasionally bring him things from outside. She manages a lot of the higher functions at the park, and is partially aware of jadon's mental inlfuence on other workers. But He's never expressed a desire to control her, and she doesn't quite know why. So. one could argue Adam has vanni, and even Mags to be his little thang in his district. But I wanted an excuse to put my oc in there. So! Francis is a scientist who reluctantly does clean up work in the chopshop. adam keeps him around because he's particularly entertaining and kind of cute. Fran doesn't really understand it, and he is afraid of the work theyre doing. But he's MORE afraid of whats happening outside. and it's not like he has a choice anyhow.
"Swap" AU: so this one is kind of building on an OFF au I already think about sometimes, in which the zone guardians are swapped (dedan -> Enoch, Enoch -> Japhet, Japhet -> Dedan) so the corresponding gaurdians swap as well! Adam swaps with delilah for the sake of the AU. and also because WOW its fun to imagine a snakey-vampiric esq delilah skulking around and doing huge speeches and having amazing hair and a cool tail.
oops all Blue AU: Zaphkiel posits himself as a cure for the corruption to the district guardians. Instead of being fully stuck in the tower, zaphkiel makes trips in and out of it, keeping abram at bay. (he has at least one of the grand items to be able to do this) as each guardian begins to retreat into themselves more Z takes advantage of their weakness and offers them a third eye. if they become a member of his communion, he will protect them from the unholy corruption. He targets Adam first and instead of convincing him, he forces the eye into a freshly carved socket on his forehead. Adam is unable to remove the eye and thus becomes Zaphkiel's first envoy. He takes over arbella, and awakens the batter to gather the other grands for him.
Lugosi, and Delilah (who is pushed to rebel, seeing the hidden pain in Adam's eyes when her father brings him 'home' for the first time) are leading a secret rebellion against Z and the district guardians! (Vanni, Mags, and Roland are also involved.)
I have ideas for a "modern" "Human" AU but theyre all very scattered. its more like a sitcom. Thats just for fun. Also imagining Jericho as a typical talking dog kind of drives me nuts.
I'm also fond of the vampire au @tzalmavet has! It's very fun.
