make me mod smh /j - aight Ellis tell me about Winter and maybe the other seasons :eyes: - Mittens tell me about Damned I wanna know more about her pl
EDIT: LET IT BE KNOWN THAT WINTER IS NO LONGER A PART OF THE AU)
I am here now! :D And ready to party! *Intense jazz hands as I slide into the room on my knees, still doing jazz hands and somehow also playing the saxophone at the same time, which I have never played before, with a second set of arms that I have for some reason.*
Okay, let’s discuss who each season is, their role, and how their powers generally work. (You can find the Seasons AU in the FS+ Seasons AU tag, by the way, though some things changed since I made this AU like months ago)
- Teleport (Winter is terrible at it, Spring and Summer are okay-enough, and Autumn has mastered it)
- Transform into literal weather (Winter a blizzard, Spring a storm, Autumn a tornado, and Summer a wave of intense heat)
- Change their appearance to look like they used to (normal Hylians)
Each of the Seasons can NOT:
- Control their respective season and what happens during that time (unless purposefully doing it, which takes a lot of energy-- if a heat wave happens in summer, it usually wouldn’t be Summer’s fault.)
- Die. (They can feel pain and be incapacitated, but it takes effort)
- Physically touch their opposite, as that is the only thing that will actually drain their energy and ‘kill’ them. (Summer and Winter can’t touch, neither can Spring or Autumn, but any other pairing is fair game)
Winter (Blue Link) is the only one in the Bluniverse. The spirit who watches over the season of Winter and is named as such. He freezes what he touches instinctively, and things nearby grow frost around them if he’s close enough. Both of these instinctive powers do not apply to the other Seasons, they’re immune. If he holds onto someone’s bare skin for long enough, they will completely freeze over. He can also create snowstorms, blizzards, or just... y’know, regular snow.
Spring (Green Link) is Winter’s significant other. The spirit who watches over the season of Spring and is named as such. Flowers grow in the ground around him, as well as on his antler-horn-things and in his hair. He can even use vines as a weapon if he desires (which he does not). When he’s upset, lightning and thunder storms start, and rain pours down. Sometimes he can even flood a house and fill a lake.
Summer (Red Link) is Winter’s opposite. The spirit who watches over the season of Summer and is named as such. Plants dry out, an aura of heat follows him where he goes, rivers evaporate. When extremely upset, he could potentionally cause a massive heat wave-- however, if he’s happy, you could feel a slight breeze on your back when he’s near, as a sort of blessing.
Autumn (Vio Link) is Winter’s best friend. The spirit who watches over the season of Autumn and is named as such. Trees change color, the wind blows harsher, and plants start to go into hibernation when he touches them. He creates tornadoes, hurricanes sometimes, harsh gusts of wind, dry storms... and, unlike the other Seasons, if a tornado destroys your house, there’s a good chance you did something to anger him and it happened on purpose.
While I’d love to get into Shadow’s powers as the In-Between, I’m still fleshing out how his power set works and what he controls and doesn’t control. All I know now is that he is only in Hyrule WHILE the Seasons are changing, so at most four times a year, unlike the other Seasons, who can stay year-round. This is because he actually DOES control the In-Between and isn’t just a symbol of it.
(I will admit I'm surprised that I am a mod, no chaos has occurred from that, yet.)
I believe Ellis is busy at the moment, but I can tell you more about Damned, maybe about her past before even the fic I wrote her in.
In the events before Dance of the Damned, things ran pretty much like the events of the manga, except for a small gender twist in the case of the blue clad hero. Remembering not seeing many female guards and knights, she felt that acknowledging that part of herself to the others would have her treat her as a lesser. As a result, she was very insecure and temperamental, lashing out at the others and being repulsed by any physical contact. What she didn't expect was one of them being a bit too perceptive and calling her out on it when she was on night watch after one such bout of fighting- Vio. She didn't expect him to be understanding, or offer to keep it secret until she was ready to acknowledge it.
After the adventure ended and they remained split, they all bickered about being related or not. While an agreement came about saying they weren't related to the Captain (except for Green who was appalled the other three were against it), Blue cracked a joke saying that Vio was "the youngest" and needed someone to watch over him like a family member. He retorted by deciding she was volunteering herself as an older brother, and wouldn't let her take it back.
I didn't realize I was going to ramble, but hey, I enjoy it! I can add more if you're curious, and I hope Ellis pops in to answer their half of the ask!
