Star Wars: Legacy of the Force.

It all started with the Syndulla Twins. Jacen and Jaina Syndulla. The children of Jedi Survivor Kanan Jarrus and general Hera Syndulla, the twins would glow up in the climax of the First Galactic Civil War and the Birth of the New Republic. Both was showed to be gifted with the Force, just like their late father. While both was gifted pilots, Jance would favor the Living Force and animals under the influence of Ezra Bridger, Jaina became the true ace of the family as well as her penchant for technology.

While the return Bridger and Sabine Wren was quick to tied the knot following the defeat of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Syndulla Twins was among the first to train under Luke Skywalker and the New Jedi Order. Here, the twin became close to Ben Solo, follow by Anakin Bridger-Wren. It was wonderful time for them and despite all their differences, they was family.

Before it went wrong and ended in tragedy. 

The Galactic Defense Party, or the GDP for short. Starting out as more of a big tent party, made up of everyone from the Centrists, the Populists, and a dozen other minor and petty parties and factions. What united most of them was the motto 'A Strong Republic, A Safe Republic' and 'For the Greater Good'. Lead by Cal Omas, a native son of Alderaan away when the First Death Star struck and served as a pilot with distinction in the war. While one of Leia's biggest supporters, he became more and more uncertain of her, and the Populists ability to lead the New Republic and do what was needed. 

When Organa's political career ended with the revelation of her secret heritage as the daughter of Darth Vader, it would be the moment of the GDP to shine. Against all odds, the Galactic Defense Party won the elections and Omas would sweep into power. He promised a era of centralization and federalization, to ensure that the galactic peace and stability would last for all her peoples.

The news hit no one harder than Ben Solo. Already feeling doubt and feeling alike to a outcast, the truth of his grandfather and the fact his family had hidden this from him ruined the young man. Despite the best efforts of Anakin (Despite the bitter rivalry between the two.) and Syndulla Twins as well as his uncle, Ben would fall deeper into the Dark Side until one fateful night.

Grand Master Skywalker had gone to see his nephew, and to this day, no one knows just what happened. Only that the hut collapsed on itself and Ben Solo came out of it, lightsaber in hand. Convinced that Solo had killed his own uncle in cold blood, Jacen Syndulla leap to defend the temple, and the result duel between the two best friends.

Luke hesitated.

Jacen didn't, and Ben Solo fell to the ground dead. His destiny of Kylo Ren dead before it could start.

What follow would be the slow death of the New Jedi Order, Jacen cast himself out, ashamed of killing Ben and furious at Master Skywalker failure, with many of the Knights following him. Luke would exile himself to unknown space, and Anakin Bridger-Wren would leave and go back to his mother's people, the Mandalorians of Mandalore.

Those who remain struggle to keep the Order alive and the dream of the Jedi with it. Jaina begged her brother to stay, but the darkness had a hold on him and it wasn't letting go.

What follow would be the militarism and fascism of the New Republic. It became increasingly controlling of local governments, demanding member states pay higher and higher taxes to help with infrastructure protects and pool their military resources for the New Republic Defense Force. Free Speech has been limited into nothing, but propaganda, with the Senate held by the GDP in full.

Following a series of terrorist attacks and riots on the reestablish capital of Coruscant, the Republican Guard would be form, a secret police to crack down on any and all dissent far and wide, real, and otherwise. 

The First Order-Republic War would be the moment of truth. Having promised to bring the 'Last legacy of the Empire to heel', Cal Omas would make good on that promise and he would have Jacen Syndulla on his side. Disillusioned and cutting himself off from his family, Jacen and his followers would find new purpose in the New Republic cause. With Admiral Nek Bwua'tu leading the fleet, Syndulla would lead the army into battle against the First Order like a Jedi Warrior of old with his "Jedi Lords."

Despite utter zealot and fanaticism in their defense, the Order stood no chance and all know of Jacen cutting down General Armitage Hux for the whole galaxy to see. What follow was many members of the Order was given pardon and amnesty, it resources, fleets, and territory added to the New Republic despite Omas personal misgivings.

The Resistance was meant to fight the First Order, to safeguard the Republic. But now the Order is finished, and the New Republic is rushing into becoming a second Empire. The Resistance is made up of many faces, from Idealistic New Republic Dissidents who still hope to redeem the State like Leia herself, to many Moderate Imperials, led by Baron Soontir Fel and his son Jagged Fel who still believes in a Imperial vision, to many more with their own goals and missions such old rivals like Borsk Fey'lya.

Keeping such an unruly house is one thing, never mind the many independent movements and other Anti-Republic movements coming out of the woodwork. The Confederation lead by Corellia is this close to calling for total Independence and there would be open war once again.

Among others, Mandalore is dead silent, watching and waiting. Since returning to his mother, Ankain, always a iconoclastic that put him at odds with Jance and other Jedi, now lead what amounts to a Mandalorian Jedi Order. Despite his youth, many look to the young man, seeking to combine the better parts of the Mandalorian Code as well as the teachings of the Jedi. Aged Ahsoka Tano does her best to train them, and to guild Anakin, even as the Galaxy has become a dark place once again and is seen as a 'honorary' Mandalorian by many old and young.

Hera Syndulla heart breaks for both her children, as does the rest of Ghost. The last time she met her son, she and Ezra Bridger begged him to walk away, the latter speaking how he himself had gone down this same road under Maul and it wasn't too late. Jance just told them to leave and not show their 'traitorous faces' to him again. Zed for his part would want noting more to 'knock some sense into his head' for the sake of Kanan. 

Jaina divides her time between the struggling Ossus Jedi, and the Resistance. Since...what happened, the New Jedi has a much more 'open door' policy, anyone may join them, and learn and may leave whatever they wish. Masters often many several student under their wings. Jaina is no master...but many looks to show as the New Republic put more and more pressure on them to join the Jedi Lords.

Meanwhile, all keeps looking for Luke Skywalker, all believing he alone could break the stalemate and turn the tide. Poe Dameron has been giving this mission, to Jakku to meet with Lor San Tekka to gain a map to Skywalker.

All while Krayt, once A'Sharad Hett laughs within his stronghold on Moraband. He himself was surprised at this turn of events, but he is no fool to missed out. Indeed, he found Syndulla lost and alone, and acting as yet another survivor of Order 66, and took him under his wing. In secret, he thanks the boy, killing Skywalker's little grandson. For now, his grip on the New Republic and the boy glows day by day, going as far as to send Talon to watch over him.

The Rule of Two is over. Long Live the Rule of One.

1: Force Awakens play out more than similar. A far more composed,but brooding melancholy Jacen captures Poe who is later freed by Finn and the pair crashlands back on Jakku and Finn meeting Rey. They still steal the Millennium Falcon, but instead of Han and Chewie, it Hera and Zed, which Zeb jokes how much Solo is going to own them for this.

Hera does take Rey under her wing, reminder her of Ezra, not seeing him since the last time they saw Jacen and spending his time between Lothal and Mandalore. After being ambush by pirates and New Republic proxies, they head to Takodana. Cue Ray visions (Maybe adding stuff like Kanan Sacrifice.) and finding Luke's lightsaber and the New Republic finding them, the Resistance counterattack and Jance taking Rey.

At D'Qar, everyone goes back and forth after learning about Starkiller (Cal Omas wanted more than to tear it apart, but kept being blocked by his allies.) and the New Republic going to use it on them. The deadlock is broken by Fel and Ciena Ree siding with Leia and Hera to attack Starkiller and Hera to rescue Ray with Finn. (Cue the fact he was a janitor and...)

Finn: We use the Force!

Hera wanting to slap Finn silly: That's not how the Force works!

Old Jacen comes out trying to befriend Ray, which almost works, but she rebukes him. At Talon urges, Jacen tries to take the information forcibly from her, only to turn it back at him that he feels he would never makes his father proud. Rattled, Jacen leaves with Talon after him.

Rey frees herself with the team finds her. Cue the attack of Resistance X-Wings and TIE-Fighters on Starkiller. Hera reaches out to her son one last time before being killed, seeing all the Force Sensitive members of Ghost react to her death.

Cue battle between Jance and Finn and then Jacne and Rey. Jance is saved by Talon while everyone else flees the planet.

Rey leaves with the arriving Jaina Syndulla and Ezra Bridger to meet with Luke.

2: The Last Jedi: First meetings with Luke is...less than great. The Second Galactic Civil War breaks out, with many following the Confederation and their call for Independence. Cal Omas is overthrown in a palace coup, and the Resistance flees from D'Qar, and Leia nearly killed. Soontir Fel takes command along with a lot of old Imperials like Ree and Terisa Kerrill in command among others. Poe has his plan with the addition of Anakin Bridger-Wren and cutting a deal with Borsk Fey'lya which Poe feels dirty for it.

On Ahch-To, Luke, Jaina, and Ezra tries to train Rey and try to make peace. Goes not go over well, and both Jaina and in a lesser manner Ezra blows up at Luke over what happened and his ditching everyone to feel sorry for himself.

Poe's team is captured on the New Republic flagship while Rey gives herself to Jance. First meeting with Krayt over a hologram who demands Jance brings her to him. Someone pulls a Holdo Maneuver on the New Republic while Jaina and Rey faces off with Jance and Ezra saves Finn, Rose and Anakin.

The Resistance is pulled out of the fire by Han Solo (He claims it to claim his ship back, but all know why.) the Mandalorian Jedi, Ahsoka Tano, and others.

3: I am of half a mind of doing a part one and two. One to focus on the Second Galactic War and the second to focus on TTL Rise of Skywalker. All out warfare between the New Republic against the Resistance, the latter trying to hold together a united front of so many different factions. Jedi Lords and their 'totally not' One Sith allies against the other Jedi Orders. Etc

World of Darkness

World of Darkness versions of Dancy and Meredith for an april fools gag

My reaction to this. This is super awesome.

@hellomrhistoryman

I literally know nothing about Team Fortress 2, but I hope you like this.

reason

Oh yes. TF2 has a whole community made map call Selbyen that has players feeding a seal as it makes its way back into the ocean.

That and fan works I think you definitely enjoy.

Take all the time you need. Just a friendly suggestion and all.

Absolutely love all your work.

Random idea: Team Fortress 2 has seals so maybe Medic!Jaina and Sniper!Sylvanas on BLU and RED teams respectively.

These words mean a lot to me and they motivate me to draw. Thank you so much! I never thought there would be a seal in Team Fortress 2. Maybe I'll draw on it next time. (Don't expect too much, it might take a long time or it might not happen at all.)

"Boy oh boy…the price of freedom is steep."

surge cloud and zack sonic????? yes.

That’s not Ohio that’s Iowa good sir.

To go back to this with some

Doomed!AU, but more based off of the 1951 movie When Worlds Collide. Itself based off the 1933 book by Edwin Balmer and Philip Wylie, the Earth is faced with certain destruction by a rogue star named Bellus alongside a planet name Zyra in it orbit. There is a mad rush to build a rocket like Ark by a group of scientists and others to fly to Zyra to give Mankind a chance at survival.

So picture say Carmelita is tasked with the urgent delivery of information and photographs from one group of scientists and astronomers to another to confirmed their fears of Bellus arrival, first with Zyra passing by causing massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, and not long afterward Bellus wiping Earth itself. Carmelita of course goes into an state of shock and terror and breaks down in Sly arms when he shows up not long later.

In the mad rush to build the ship along with other nations and groups before it too late, maybe the Cooper Gang is tasked with stealing objects of value that are critical to the Ark being finished in time. (With the promise of Carmelita being let on the ship when it leaves.)

Following Zyra pass-by and later the Last Day on Earth, everyone rushes to leave as hordes of desperate survivors and those not chosen attempt to take the ship and escape at the last moments. Later landing safety on the New World.

I will also say the set up can work with The Bad Guys as well. (Diane Foxington becomes governor of nothing and the Bad/Good Guys become some of the last survivors.)

There is a sequel book 1934 After Worlds Collide that deals with living on Zyra, finding alien cities and meeting and facing with other survivors from other Arks.

Who’s ready for another AU!?!

Ultimate/Absolute Sly Cooper

Picture if you will, a Ultimate and/or a Absolute version of everyone's favorite thief Sly Cooper and his world.

To those who are not familiar, the Marvel new Ultimate Universe is where the Villain the Marker came to a earth and with time travel change everything to match his image, stopping the birth of many different heroes by various means. Eventfully you have new heroes showing up to take back the world from the Marker and his allies upholding the Status Quo.

The latter is similar, but focus on Darkseid corrupted a universe where heroes have to burn twitch as bright to stand up on a earth overcome by darkness and villainy. With heroes missing a key element of their background, but their core remains.

So picture if you will, a Ultimate Sly Cooper who never became a thief, or lost his parents. He married Carmelita and had a family. But always feeling like he was missing something. Only for one day to learn the truth of the world, and becomes a Master Thief to fight the status quo.

The second, a Absolute Sly, who made never had his Cooper gang, never had Bentley, and Murray in his life. Maybe he never had the Thievius Raccoonus, or any of that. He been a long wolf all this time in a world dominated by those like the Fiendish Five, the Klaww Gang, and Le Paradox among others. But Sly will always be Sly and he a Master Thief who fights the people and those who can't fight back.

I will say I am curious on how the story of Chaotic Swap would look like game to game. Like how Sonic Adventure 2 would look like with Blaze and Rouge in Sonic and Shadow places, or even afterward with Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog (Rouge suffering from memory loss), among others.

As for Vanilla, it seem like the obvious choice to make Cream into the Sage to Vanilla's Eggman as you said Eggman himself has become more fatherly.

I am very curious to see Team Blaze, how they came to be, and more of how Blaze as the Sonic would look like on top of Team Dark and the Vanilla.

I really love your Chaos Swap. I think you are creating a a fun setting with some creative fun with the cast. My favorite is Team Dark. Shadow as the serious agent of G.U.N who plays it very close to his chest, Rouge as the Ultimate Life Form who watched far too many Spy movies, Omega as Eggman. Big Shadouge fan, so I love their relationship here. Shadow always being there for Rouge following a nightmare, or a moment of depression, and for her part, Rouge can only flirt her poor bat soul. I like to picture E.G.G playing matchmaker whenever they go to the New Babylon Casino, or one of Shadow's bars.

The rest of them are both wild and fun as well. Vanilla as Doctor Eggman is something I never would have thought of, but I do like Vector as Agent Stone.

This Tails puts even his Sonic Prime self Nines to shame and I guess he is taking Doctor Starline place here. It hard to see Amy like this, but even some of her Canon self is still there and I love this thing between her and Metal!Sonic.

Looking at the other places and mentions, I guess Blaze is the Sonic. Would that mean Silver is her Tails?

I love to see more of this world. Who else do you have plan for the Chaos Swap? Or even more stuff for Team Dark because I feel they're pretty central to this whole thing from what I seen.

Such questions warm my soul, I am glad that people like my ideas. As for Blaze, yes, she will take Sonic's place. I've considered a lot of options, and as for me, Blaze is ideally suited for this role. (Although I even considered Knuckles for Sonic's place) Silver— I have an idea about his role, he will take the place of Amy Rose. Tails' place is taken by Marin. As for Vannila, because of the family motives of both characters, it seemed interesting to me to choose Vanilla. Recently, Eggman has been developing towards a father-daughter relationship. Yes, the dark team will be central to my au. For it was my first command that I did this to this au. As for any spoilers about future work, there will be a Team of Blazes (Blaze as Sonic, Lien—Da as Knuckles and Marin as Tails). New art with the Dark Team and the Vannila Empire.

I also love this as someone who loves Halloween and all that. Never thought Athena as a witch, but let's go with it.

The rest of the cast.

Roland: Former Monster Hunter Knight.

Lilith: Demon, or another witch.

Brick: Weredog.

Mordecai: Another Monster Hunter.

XXX

Wilhelm: Definitely a Frankenstein.

Nisha: Pretty much the same.

Claptrap/Fragtrap: A Automaton.

Timothy: Cursed magic user.

Aurelia: Ice Warlock who can enslave demons and spirits.

XXX

Gaige: Mad Scientist/ Artificer.

Maya: Another witch/demon/Monk.

Axton: Top tier Monster Hunter.

Zer0: DnD Warforged/Possessed Armor

XXX

XXX

Amara: Battle Priest/Monk.

Zane Flynt: Illusionist mage and bounty hunter.

FL4K: A Mummy.

Moze: Same.

XXX

Obviously, Jack would be the Devil, or at least one of the big name devils. I could see his end goal being the same, freeing ancient before time monsters from their vaults and all the quests and deals is part of that. Maybe Jack is himself an kinda Vampire'/his Handsome Sorcerer self. If he can bring back Janey back...

And Angel is a actual angel he's sucking the holiness out of.

A alternative idea for Athena is a page from Van Helsing, who is strongly hinted to be a Fallen Angel Gabriel and the one who killed Dracula in 1462. (And the latter came back thanks to a deal with the Devil.) Also he became a werewolf in the final battle and kills Dracula.

i can be ur boo 👻🕯

An exiled witch that lives within the forest, drowned in desolation and acrimony after her former home had been burned down—along with her dearest. Years after her vow to never use dark magic again, the flaming desire to be with her late wife ignites stronger than ever.

She is willing to make thousands of deals with the devil just to bring her back.

I just found your page, but I am loving what I am seeing I won't lie. Also playing through the Legendary Collection.

Let's be real, Borderlands 3 was a total botched job with none of the writers from 2, or Pre-Sequel carrying over and failure to follow up on everything they was building up too. The total lack of Athena, as well as Aurelia is just some of the many problems with it.

That said, I do love the irony of New Tales showing Athena to be the head of some major company on the same level of Atlas, Maliwan, and Jakobs lines up just with your art. The same for Athena helped with Jack rise to power later takes control of Hyperion alongside her wife.

I do like the idea of Theia being a planet of constant earthquakes and just like the idea of landmasses and mountains at random. I can see a lot of wildlife having armor-like skin and super shape claws and talons to move through rock and soil. The same for like big bears like monsters and big cats like caracals, Maybe also giant redwood trees that helps keep the ground together with roots that everywhere.

Theia's nice parts look like Northern California, the rest between Death Valley, Mustafar, and the Rockies.

Yeah, that and just how hated and loathed the company has become, they're got a big bunker/fortress mindset going on. Almost Dwarf like.

XXX

Selene: Maybe it one big supply ship/smaller space station, always in Helios stations shadow or something like that.

Eos: A giant manufacturing sea ship sounds like a lot of fun and something a little more old school in the Sci-Fi setting.

XXX

I do like the idea of Athena's real name and the fact the forsaken it, but I respect wanting to cut herself off from her painful past. The people who both know her real name and are still alive can be counted on one hand. (With Janey it was one of the big movements of their early relationship.)

Also her surname of Hoplite is a nice if on the nose. (Something Janey loves making jokes about.)

I do like how Athena's belief in redemption being the biggest driving force of taking over, while Janey has a field day.

The Voice of Hyperion: This goes with below, but maybe she was recover from the wreck of Helios and traded hands a few times before reaching Theia. She becomes Athena and Janey biggest backer in secret before showing herself. (Think Tales Loader Bot becoming the Masked Kidnapper to learn what happened. Or even Angel in 1 and 2. ) She has no want to rule Hyperion, but wants Athena to do it because she so good at killing her enemies.

I also love the idea of AI!Jack comeback and acting as this devil on Athena's shoulder before she puts him in a gun and shots him to the nearest planet. Kinda reminds me of Wiping the Slate, which Jack has you get the head of the Meriff statue and sending it to Pandora on a rocket.

I would add in say Aurelia Hammerlock, also done wrong by 3, and poor Timothy Lawrence. Maybe even Gaige, still on the run from the Holloway family and not used great by Gearbox. (Another OC is a Truxican gunslinger.)

XXX

Janey as a Eternal makes a lot of sense, born and raised on Elpis, lived through the Crackening. Yeah, her being one makes sense and would be fun to see.

XXX

Hmm...

Athena's team still being alive (Maybe they ditch and the BL1 Vault Hunters killed their seconds in commands.) and kidnapping Athena and blowing up her and Janey home is pretty dramatic. Even going as far to cut her ring finger off is super sad. (Athena caring far more about the ring than how a missing finger would affect her fighting). Using that, in my mind, they both wanting the old Athena back, and being paid by one of the Hyperion factions to bring her in to use. Maybe the Watcher, maybe the Voice of Hyperion gives Janey the lead to chase after them, events lead them to both crash on Theia.

The reformed Hyperion is under attack, by both Old Hyperion/Jack Loyalists and a group of smaller corporations hoping to bring down and take over the Titan. Athena, Janey and their allies all in the middle of it all (Backed by the Voice/secret backer.), and have no choice, but to play a role in the battle that leads them taking over Hyperion and finishing the Battle of Theia. All of it is a lead up to the War the Watcher warned about.

I will say I like the idea of Janey having such extreme attachment issues after what she been through and now suddenly her life with Athena is stolen away would lead her being very vicious. Beware the nice ones indeed and in this case a furious gay Aussie. Heck, I like the idea of her hating anything that looks like a kraggon. I hate kraggons as much as I hate fighting skags.

I just would love to explore this idea more and I love Athnea/Janey a lot myself.

I really love your art and I especially love the Borderlands stuff. In particular the Hyperion Rebirth AU. I would love to see more or even just explore the idea. Like just how Athena took over, how she did it with Janey and Fiona, they're relationship, Janey's hand, their status in the Borderlands and much more.

If your open to it I do have certain ideas for it.

Like Hyperion falling into what amounts to a civil war with Jack's death, how badly he ran it, and all the money and resources he sunk into Pandora on top of Helios crashing Planetside. Athena and Janey are dragged into one side and Fiona by a another on the company planet of Theia. (The wife of Hyperion and Goddess of sight and brilliance along with gold, silver and gems with their brilliance and value). All three meet once again and start to work together to win control over Hyperion themselves.

oh my god hi!!!! tysm for the ask i never expected anyone to ask me about this old au <3

side note btw that i apparently decided to exclude Fiona from this au 🥲 she’ll likely have an appearance other places but won’t have any direct connections to Hyperion

under the cut is a very unorganized set of pictures + explanations of what i had in mind for Hyperion’s Rebirth:

—-—-—

ORIGINS

to start, i just want to mention how this au came to be.

it was mostly fun and games tbh, where i was in an era between playing BL3 and BLTPS constantly. although i never used them, i found it ironic that in BL3, the Hyperion weapons had shields extremely similar to Athena’s shield.

since i was SUPER disappointed that Athena didn’t even at least have a mention in an ECHO, and i was SUPER deprived of content of her, i decided to make a FUN, NON-CANON ALTHOUGH HEAVILY LORE-BASED, COMPLETELY SELF-INDULGENT AU where Athena had taken over Hyperion just bc she wanted to 😇 starting this project in 2021, i would work on this on and off for my own enjoyment

flashforward only one year later—

………..hashtag goals 🤟🏼. never worked on it for a while even before ntftbl was announced unfortunately 💔

HYPERION ITSELF

you were very spot on with the concept of Hyperion being on the planet Theia, i was super confused seeing it bc i never remembered sharing anything about this 😭😭

i wanted Hyperion to be SUPER heavily reinforced, because of how widely loathed the company is, its history, and because of the overall environment of Theia. every few hours, the surface shifts from entire slabs of the floor, taken from the idea of plate tectonics.

i was also gonna work on the unique fauna, just like how Pandora has skags and Eden-6 has jabbers !! i had only given it caracals since they’re my favorite animal :,3

blands LOVES their greek myth motifs so i wanted to apply that here also

a common trend with the corporations was that each tend to have some kind of second base. i used Selene and Eos, since they were also the children of Theia and Hyperion (Helios isn’t present since it crashed obv).

i never had any ideas for Selene, but an idea i had for EOS was that it was an underwater ship.

CHARACTERS

THIS I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MOST!!!

a very specific headcanon i have for Athena is that it isn’t her real name. she was very young at the time she was taken into Atlas, where they had actually given the assassins different names. her real name is Gayle Alvarez, to which she rejects as symbolism to how she’s letting go over her past after all these years, accepting who she is now. (she gave herself that last name “Hoplite” tho LMAO)

^^ this all comes from that fact that i was VERY petty over the fact that her sister, Jess, should’ve been named Minerva. it makes more sense to me idk

ANYWAYS this just describes Athena and Janey’s positions in Hyperion just a little bit. Athena is obviously the CEO and Janey has taken position to where she had designed almost everything.

in terms of the third point, i had actually wanted to make the Voice of Hyperion to be a prominent character in here also!! i didn’t get too far with her unfortunately 💔

FUN FACT i was actually also gonna bring HoloJack as a character concept, although he’s just stuck in an ECHO device. i was thinking that in order to run Hyperion, Athena would need the advice of an ex-CEO. they both only agree to an exchange of management tips for a new body. Athena obviously flanks out after getting Hyperion into a suitable condition, then stuffing the ai into a submachine gun and launching it towards the furthest planet 🤔 it was a funny concept but i dropped it after a while

—

on to something more specific, i do wanna mention this art piece, which ties into another one of my headcanons.

Janey was born on Elpis, being present before and after the Crackening. as it occurred, she had been exposed to whatever unstable eridium had managed to leak through, all without her knowledge—she barely remembers anything of the sort happening

TO SUMMARIZE, Janey is like the Lost Legion Eternals, specifically, a Phasewalker!!!! from the game, the LLEs only ascend once reaching a near-death situation, which explains why Janey never figured it out. the closest she did was when she and her ex gf were mauled by Flamey, where her Phasewalking activated and she managed to get away.

STORY

there is no story, sorry. 😓🤕

the closest i have are unofficial concepts, since i had literally almost zero experience and knowledge in world building.

the main idea i had focused on was something to do with Athena’s old Atlas squad, the Omega Assassins. from some, currently undecided decision, Vulcana, Hera, Minerva, Ceresia, and Helicon found themselves alive, even after supposed elimination from the BL1 Vault Hunters. despite her betrayal, they wanted Athena back, and would do anything to prevent her from settling away.

ALSO, another idea was that after the Omega Assassins found out that Athena was married/engaged, they had cut off her ring finger. this explains why i drew her wearing her rings on a chain near her chest.

below is an extra character development attempt which i had named “scene where janey plays the guitar”

this takes place moments after the assassins kidnap Athena and destroy their home for, again, some undecided reason 😭 i wanted to study Janey’s devotion towards a happy life, since i would also think of her having extreme attachment issues. she’s typically the optimistic character that sees the good through any situation, so i wanted to try to see how she would face against her everything being taken away from her again.

i also gave Janey a resentment of anything that resembles a kraggon, no matter how friendly☝🏼

—-—-—

i wish i had worked on this au so much more than what i shared. i was extremely passionate about it and i kinda still am!! even with how half-assed most of the lore is with blands, i still absolutely DEVOUR any little bit of canon Athena content available.

a COMPLETE story of Hyperion’s Rebirth is unfortunately unlikely now, especially with how it’s heavily implied to be. CANON now 😰😰. i would love to work on it again, but i just don’t really see a reason to 💔

tysmm for the ask again, i appreciate it a lot!! i rambled a bit too much but i wouldn’t mind talking much more about the little ideas i have ^_^ 💐

1: Sojourn's fate is very much an example of what happened to John Connor in Terminator Genisys, both as a means of survival for Anubis, how prefect Sojourn was for him (Being a heavily augmented cyborg.) and the horror she has become a heartless machine after all with the old person gone.

2: I am getting some Last of Us themes with Jack, Cole, and Sombra traveling across a abounded North America litter with rogue Omnics, leftovers from the war, and Anubis loyalists/an Anubis trapped in Old Canada. Cassidy loses his arm while Sombra gets dragged away.

Honestly the end of the world would give Mauga the same 'live in the moment' fun loving attitude even Jack and Cole can't understand, but learn to kinda live with it.

3: Gabe being brought back to life and still becoming Reaper...them ore things change the more they stay the same. I can see Jack and Gabe having drinks in a old bar that still got bottles, drinking to all their lost.

Jack: To Vincent.

Gabe: To my family.

Jack: To Ana Amari, Mina Liao, Reinhardt Wilhelm, and Torbjörn Lindholm. We barely knew them, but they was the best of them.

Gabe: Can't argue with that.

Jack: You think...if we had come together sooner...thinks would have been different?

Gabe: Morrison, I got pump full of lead in mankind's last stand in Nepal, and someone came back to life as...I don't know what the hell I am now. The Omnics are cloning people back to life, people we knew. I don't know what could have happened. How the hell you get back to the States anyhow?

Jack: Wasn't easy. The temple collapse on itself after...after what happened. Took forever to dig myself out, more to heal even with the SEP. Omnics were fighting each other for a while, finally found a boat and made it to Hawaii, and then a plane to the West Coast. By myself for a long time.

Gabe: If Naughton could see us now...

I also like the idea of Reaper having to be a peacemaker between Jack and Cassidy.

4: Like I said above, the more things charge, the more they stay the same, in your other posts, Fareeha's want to do good and bring justice to this New World. More so if she is actually Ana's daughter and not knowing about it. The same others still be driven by certain traits from Canon against both Anubis, as well as angry Martian Humans attacking.

No idea why I did this, but you might enjoy it and offer some insight on it. The Omnic Crisis ended with the Extinction of Humanity. Or Pyrrhic Victory in the Crisis.

I now have brain rot. I love this so much!!

Ok first I would like to point out a couple of things. The first being, considering the state of the Overwatch world during the Crisis, other then then brilliant minds being saved, the only other people who would have been saved were probably rich. Another thing is that I think the only people who would be cloned would be those who died at a young age, so a majority of the old guard stay dead, and a suggestion I would make to avoid complicating ages would be have the cloning process match how old the DNA is.

I would also like a specification on what Sombra is doing in this AU, because I assume she's trying to save Sojourn, but it also sounds she's either also being controlled by Anubis or helping him in some way.

However speaking of Sombra there is something I need to specify and that it, if a character has augmentations like she does in canon and they are part of the few surviving humans on earth in this universe, they wouldn't have those augmentations unless they were needed for survival and they were saved by Omics.

Also I would love to see how morals change for characters because of this change. Specifically the Talon characters.

I would also like to point out that Ramattra and maybe Zen would probably be the main ones trying to stop Anubis on the Omnic side of things, maybe even working with Macaria.

Anyway I also made a list on what I think the state of all the characters, so enjoy;

I admit I took a lot from Horizon and Call of Duty Extinction and more I'm making up as I go. I finally got Declassified and I could not help myself.

In my mind, child Sombra was taken by Anubis loyalists, and forcibly turned into a cybernetic freak. Unlike Sojourn (Who isn't really there anymore. There nothing left of Vivian Chase, only Anubis.) as the God Program host body, Olivia Colomar still exists, fighting against the Sombra's persona.

Doomfist, he's definitely one of the major leaders, or figures on the Mars Colony of Humans. His Social Darwinism philosophy to reclaim the Earth from the Omnics and the 'fake humans'. He, and Moira would be the biggest Martian Humans Heroes. Compared to maybe Mercy and Lifeweaver who should stay on Mars and focus rebuilding.

I see you had Cassidy as among the Human Survivors on Earth. In my eyes Cassidy would be an Jeremiah Johnson/Man with No Name. A man with few if any words to say, it all in his actions. So alone for so long, but still has a heart in him.

Of course Mauga would still be alive and kicking. He gone full Ocean World.

Illari, could be interesting if the Inti Warriors are still around in the Andes and just wanna be left around/left undiscovered.

All the cloned cast would be very different. But you can still see certain characteristics from Canon as part of the 'Human Nature.' Some would become rebellious like Ashe, and Junker Queen, others trying to figure out what a human being actually means.

Ramattra would be one of the most interesting to explore. Even here I feel he would be a sorta outsider because of being a Ravagers, built by Anubis for war. He has no reason to hate humans, but maybe thinking the project to bring them back to be a bad one. Even so I like to think he defends everyone on top on going after Anubis itself. Peace at any cost. The same for working with Macaria.

Curious to see Echo and Orisa. I guess the're attempts by the Omics to create a new generation.

Large parts of the Earth have been left abounded, reclaimed by nature, litter with the legacy of mankind and the Crisis, Omnics are often clustered around the old Omniums as well as several other locations.

No idea why I did this, but you might enjoy it and offer some insight on it. The Omnic Crisis ended with the Extinction of Humanity. Or Pyrrhic Victory in the Crisis.

My thoughts on the subject...

The Omnic Crisis ended with the Extinction of Humanity. Or Pyrrhic Victory in the Crisis.

The main POD can be a simple one, killing off Gabrielle Adawe before she could speak to the UN and outline her plans for what should have been Overwatch. Without her, the UN just keeps throwing out more poor solution after the other, which only works once, or twice at best. Everyone is fighting their own war and the Human Race starts to break against Anubis.

At some point the UN itself just collapses on itself as nation after nation is overrun by the Omnics. It is now every man, woman and child for themselves. The US Navy sacrificed itself to save New York City from Anubis, shipping almost the whole population to Cape Canaveral. What was left of the Canadian Armed Forces died at Edmonton, Vivian Chase long rumored to be the very last soldier left before her true fate was found. Portugal and Spain fled to Gibraltar while London was wiped off the map. Doomfist sacrifice himself , carrying a old nuclear warhead on his back and stormed the Nigerian omnium, all that was recover was his namesake fist.

The few strongholds of Mankind was Russia, Sweden, a few others but it was all over. Many would pour what they had left into space travel, seeking the safety of the Moon Lunar Colonies and beyond to Mars. The 'Great Exodus' as many would call it would see as many said tearful goodbyes to those chosen and those left behind, such as Torbjörn Lindholm to his wife and newborn daughter. Some was chosen for their genius minds, like Doctor Siebren de Kuiper and Victoria Naughton, a child Angela Ziegler, Moira O'Deorain, the Heroic Five, among others. Those needed to give Human Kind one more chance.

However, there was still a chance to stop Anubis. Those who should have been Overwatch rallied behind a still living Mina Liao with her own All, or Nothing Plan: Aurora. To share Aurora's sentience with all the Omnics, to free them from Anubis' control. Even at the cost own her own life and having no idea what would happened afterward, the team and survived UN forces had no other choice flying to Nepal as Russia nuked itself out of pure spite and the few few human bastions like the Crusaders in the Alps fell.

In the Last Stand of Overwatch, even as Anubis poured all it forces to stop the humans, but at the cost of all their lives, it worked.

Omnics around the world was freed, free to chose, to think. To act of their own free-will. And many turned on Anubis for what it had done and what it done to them and to the humans. The same for many of the other God programs now freed,, allied with them. In it last stand in Cairo, Anubis and it last loyalists was defeated, even as itself avoided captured.

The Omnic Crisis was over, with the cost being the end of human life on Earth, and the Omnics themselves having free will. Those left had since fled to Mars, not nothing what happened back home.

Following the war, the God Programs and the Omnics would seek to rebuild the world, and to make up for the doomed Human Race, organizing themselves in several nation-like states, the most prominent being the Shambali Monks.

Now, the Omnics now push for the unthinkable: To undo their greatest sin, they plan to bring mankind back to life by way of cloning. To let a new generation of humans to walk the earth once more. The first being the DNA of a newborn killed near the end of the war: Lena Oxton. Humankind will live again, and maybe finally apologize.

However, it is long rumored that not all humans are dead. That at least one, or two still lives. Jack Morrison is without a race, without a nation, without those who he would have called friend.But Soldier 76 still fights...but for what?

Anubis still lives, plots and plans. Now with his new host body, the Canadian once named Sojourn, and it puppets like a cybernetic Olivia Colomar who fights from inside her mind, not seeks to finished what it started.

And on Mars, the Humans there rebuild the lost for a new one: To reclaim Earth.

OW AU: What if the Omnic Crisis ended with the Extinction of Humanity? PT. 1

Overwatch never came to be during the omnic crisis due to AU shenanigans (idk haven't come up with a reason yet). The crisis evolves into a full war one which humanity ultimately lost. Auroras ascension happens much later than in canon but by that time there's really only a few humans left (five to be exact, definitely not enough to form a population). So most omnic become sapient after most humans are gone and they revolt against Anubis which does actually gets destroyed but only sorta.

My personal head cannon is that you can't really kill a god program like anubis as it managed to disperse it's data across the global data-network (i.e what remained of the Internet ) so anubis is still technically around but not in the capacity where it can do actually harm.

So Anubis is gone, humanity is gone and your left with a lot of omics that are still trying to figure out the whole being "alive kinda" deal with the looming knowledge that they've participated in what is essentially genocide. So naturally some of them get guilty and decide undo / make amends for what happened. So the first generation of humans to walk the earth in the past 50 years are brought back (Jurassic park style) from the remains of the dead. In this AU there's only been about three generation of humans since the extinction so there's not a lot of humans quite yet and a lot more omnics since almost all (with the exception of the ones which produced militant types) the omniums are still active albeit under omnic control.

Now this set up is very, very good as always.

The Princess of Poseidon is a good choice as some do said there should have been something for her in Valhalla and Old Kratos using her as doorstop.

Hera is curious, but makes sense he killed her just because she bad mouth Pandora when she was no danger to him.

Hercules, in Valhalla says he has no regret in killing him, saying Hercules wanted to be the God of War for all the wrong reasons, and not the right one. But I can also say Kratos at that point of time was willing to let Hercules live if he would step aside.

Hephaestus I can see from his downfall from grace, his savage beating from his father, failure to save Pandora, and Kratos respect towards Hephaestus doing what any father would do, protect their child.

Ares definitely needed to be in Valhalla and Kratos fighting Mars and the battle ending in a draw is pretty the same for Mars taking up both the legacy of Ares and Kratos as a God who fights to bring peace and who loves his people and followers. (Mars the Father and Mars the Avenger.)

I would also give a shot-out to Orkos, who was Kratos' last true friend for the longest time, being forced to kill him to free both from Ares.

It also would be great to see Atreus in his Anubis persona and the Guardian of the Dead.

Long time I know. I first offer a Merry Christmas for you and my family. But the Valhalla DLC for Ragnarök just dropped (Super wonderful), and I been thinking about how the old God of War in Egypt ideas would work with it. In Egyptian Mythology you have the 42 Negative Confessions and it 42 Judges of Maat. It's not about perfection, but to keep trying to outweight your bad deeds with good ones, to bring more balance than chaos to the world.

Alright so, in the God of War in Egypt AU, we've gotta trim the 42 down a bit, so we're grouping it into six groups of seven. Each group of seven represent a level to clear, with the final one at the end.

So the story is, after the final boss of the second game, Apophis, Osiris invites Kratos to the Underworld for "a great matter", and tells him someone wants to talk to him. Basically, Kratos has to traverse the 42 Confessors/Judges of Ma'at with Nephthys, facing one of his sins as a boss at the end of each level.

The 42, again, in groups of seven, you're not facing all of them at once, act as witnesses, watching him go through it, and talking to him at the end of it.

The bosses are all from the previous God of War games, particularly the ones Kratos feels kinda bad about.

Also, you get the Blade of Olympus at the beginning of the DLC, and it gains power with every boss you defeat.

First boss is Helios, good solid start to the story.

Second is the Princess of Posiedon, who sort of uses Posiedon's powers from GoW3. This ends with Kratos apologizing to her and her soul finding rest.

Third is Hera, who points out he could have shown her mercy but chose not to.

Fourth is Hercules, this one is lighter than the others, since Herc isn't really salty about losing, and Hercules passes on on good terms.

Fifth is Hephaestus, who is angry at the world more than Kratos himself.

The Sixth boss is Ares himself. the man who started it all. This is a knock down drag out fight... and it leads you into the REAL final boss.

See, once you've defeated Ares, you're led into the Heart Weighing Chamber where Anubis has begun his tenure as Guardian of the Dead, and under your son's gaze you fight the real Final Boss of the Ma'at DLC.

The final boss is Mars, the Roman God of War, the inheritor of both Kratos and Ares' legends. A more grim and noble God of War.

The fight ends in a draw, and Mars leaves, having put the ghosts of old to rest and returns to the fledgling Rome, to tak eup his post as the God of War.

I love the idea of Calliope and Atreus putting his half-sister back together. Never mind learning more about Old Kratos and what exactly happened in Greece (IE: Kratos being tricked by Ares to kill his wife and child.) leading to a big fallout between father and son.

My ideas for the set up and more.

Opening.

Any story in my mind could start out with the first war against Apophis, Ra and the other first Gods looking out from the Benben before fighting in the waters, allowing the player to post at max level. (Think if you could play as Zeus fighting the Titans.)

It switch to Old Kratos in an isolated oasis with his family. Maybe near Kharga Oasis, or the Bahariya Oasis.

Some of Gods and where their stand in the Civil War.

Geb and Nut: Titan like beings and the parents of Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys. They have no role in the Civil War itself.

Thoth: A close ally to Isis and the closest thing Horus had to a father after Osiris' death.

Bastet: Horus agasint her sister.

Sekhmet: Set due to her loyalty to Ra.

Ptah: Horus due to the murder of Osiris.

Montu: One of Set's best generals.

Sobek: At the moment a wild card god.

Hathor: Neutral and trying to break a peace.

A lot of gods and goddess are still either still attempts neutrality, or roles takes them beyond the war itself. Like Neith and others. Some like Amun...no one seen him in like forever. Some early allies of Kratos could be Amenhotep, son of Hapu, Ash, Imhotep.

Aten in my mind could be say a rogue god who fell from grace after his power play failed with Akhenaten and his followers as a secondly theart.

You can still tied in some stuff from Norse Era, like a lot of gods talked about Tyr, and how they gave him back his arm after losing it to Garm. Or even mentioned of the 'Hebrews and their one god' and no one likes talking about it. Or Kratos being called 'a Sea Man' as a reference to the Sea People.

Osiris and Set: Even with how he came to power, Osiris was a great king and Pharaoh, who tired to make peace with his brother, but between Isis' manipulations, and Set's bitterness failed. When war did break out, Osiris attempted again to make peace. No one knows what just happened, but Set did cut his brother down accidental. This drove many into Horus and Isis camp.

i was thinking about calliope

Of course not canon thing (i have not enough time for good research and im lazy)

I dont like some sweeet concepts of her, i wanna see her feral and insane cuz there's a lot of shit

Anything is possible.  His official Overwatch 2 backtstory states Junkrat founds something on the lines of ‘a extremely valuable secret in the bones of the Omnium’. What that could be we have no idea what it might be, or could be even now. 

What is this secret? Could it be the means of speaking to Aurora, or understanding the Iris? Could it be the means of freeing the Omnics from Null Sector? Is  it the answer to  Ramattra’s unsaid question? 

We just don’t know. But I still think whatever Jamison  knows, or even has could be critical element of the story. 

Random theory: This is a old one, but Junkrat's treasure is actually the secret of Omnic life and could be the key in saving them and starting the next generation and future generations onward.

Of course he's much too crazy and insane to even understand what he knows, or what he has, but Jamison could actually be the biggest game changer of the whole setting.

That's the irony in the Junker who hates Omnics could be the one to save them.

That is both very funny to me and also a very interesting way to get the Junkers involved in the main storyline.

Do I think it's possible? No, I think a big thing in the story is the fact that Omnics are a set generation, but that's not the only problem, they are an oppressed minority. Making a new generation isn't going to stop the discrimination and abuse. It's a fix to a problem but not a fix to the problem.

But this did get me thinking.

In an interaction Rammattra has with Echo he mentions that he has a question he constantly asks her and that he wishes she could answer. Maybe what Junkrat has it the answer to that question. Or maybe it's the answer to what happened when Aroura ascended/what the iris is.

Better yet what if what he has is the key to saving the Omnics who have been subjugated? Like it's a technology that can remove the helmet without hurting the omnics?

I don't know but this ask has gotten me thinking-

OK. The Prince of Persia idea was a shot in the dark and a random idea I had before I went to work I wanted to get out there. 

Now the Mummy? THAT is a idea I can get behind and what you have works very well. I watched both the orignal and Mummy Returns (Got both DVDs I think still.) and even the Cartoon series.  The above mixes very well with the characters and orignal plot.  Even can use some of the orignal movie characters to fill in the gaps. Especially Imhotep.

Xerath/Imhotep: "I will show you true power."

Jinx: Or how about this! (Blasts Xerath as Jinx drags Lux away.)

In my mind Lux, who became a archaeologist to make a name for herself and out of her family’s shadow, bets everything on finding the ‘City of the Dead’ and  Ezreal just so happens to have the only map of it existence and she can prove her nay-sayers wrong. Using all her reaming funds to mount a expedition into Shurima, Lux gets saved by Jinx from a assassin trying to take the map. Jinx ‘offers’ to help them lead to them to the city. (A lie, but she does know where it is from a dying prisoner who claimed to have escaped from it.) 

Eventually (After more run ins with rival Noxian/ Demacian group, and assassins/Medjai  trying to stop both.) they reach the half buried city. Events unfold that sees Xerath/Imhotep awoken and all hell breaking loose as the survivors flee back to Piltover. 

New Lightcannon idea: Prince of Persia crossover. A new exhibit of rare relics from Shurima opens in Piltover with the highlight being the supposed 'Sands of Time' hourglass and Dagger of Time. The ancient Vizier attacks the Museum to gain both items, and use them to turn both cities into a replica of his kingdom he was master of in ancient times. However Jinx (Surviving being stabbed by the Dagger she just happen to be wanting to rob as well.) makes off with the Dagger in a visiting Lux being dragged along for the ride.

Never played the Prince of Persia games (I seem to be saying that a lot with having not watched/read/played lol) so I'm only able to talk from context clues, but I'm somewhat struggling on figure out how to mentally develop the idea (If that makes sense).

Usually with these submissions it gets my brain buzzing, but with this one I don't really know how it would go. Like I can see Jinx being a little gremlin sneaking in to the exhibit, maybe getting found out by Vi and Caitlyn (who are patrolling the exhibit given it's high profile nature and the fact Jinx likely sent them a note expressing her interest). Lux could also be there as a diplomat.

It's just I'm drawing a blank on how the story would advance past getting the cool dagger.

I don't know, for some reason my mind just drifts to the Mummy given the subject matter and my enjoyment of the movie. In that case it could be an AU (or take place in Runeterra who knows) where Lux hires a team to explore newly discovered ruins that are thought to house unimaginable treasures.

Team would be: Lux (Kinda over it archeologist), Ezreal (Well-intentioned explorer friend that's a massive idiot surviving through sheer luck and is practically unkillable), Sivir (Local guide, gruff with a heart of gold when it counts, constant mocker of "Dumb foreigners"), Jinx (Ex-Convict hired due to her unmatched skills when it comes to traps and engineering, keeps flirting with Lux), and Caitlyn and Vi being thrown into the bunch as Jinx 'technically' isn't an Ex-Convict since she escaped prison early because she got bored.

Villain would be Xerath or something, who the accidentally unleash and have to deal with.

Maybe I just want to rewatch the Mummy.....

Caitlyn as the Corporate heir sent to learn the trade makes the most sense and I love the irony it was Cassandra who got Vi as her daughter's personal security. It also adds a extra dynamic of Vi/Cait compared to Lux/Jinx as you said. (Vi thinking she has no chance with Caitlyn and Caitlyn thinking she be taking advantage of Vi.)

Lux: Hello! I'm Luxanna Crownguard. I just transferred here, so I'm still learning everyone names. May I ask who are you?

Jinx: (Was busy fixing something.) Wait...your asking me? Oh umm..Jinx, I work with IT.

Lux: Well, good day to you Jinx.

New random story idea: The Secret Life of Jinx and Lux. Based off the story, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, it has Jinx and Lux having just a normal, slow day, and so having various daydreams being and doing wild and crazy stuff to get by the day. Think of it as a excuse to do various one-shorts in one story and maybe explore the LoL skin alternate universes. (Say picture Jinx as a cool assassin and Lux as her target's girlfriend who falls for Lux.)

I've never seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but I can kinda get the idea behind it based on how you describe it. Story could basically be about two bored office workers (or some similar job) thinking up ways to pass the time.

Unsure if it would be a shared daydream or just have switching PoV each chapter. Kinda like the idea of switching PoV just for the fact they could both believe they have a one-sided crush and daydreaming around the other.

Like for example, maybe Jinx works IT and Lux is the Secretary for the company. Most people don't pay Jinx (or any of the IT people for that matter) much mind, maybe they're seen as weird, yet every morning when Jinx walks in Lux always greets her which started their initial relationship. Just small talk, evolved into offered food/drink, but never really going past that.

Daydreams start from there with Jinx bored out of her mind in between tickets, thinking of the nice pretty blonde that's always so nice to her for some reason. Maybe it starts with just a fantasized conversation or date, then it grew more 'fun' from there, leaning more into fantasy based on whatever caught Jinx's attention for the day.

On Lux's end it could be she started greeting Jinx just out of habit, but then with the small moments shared she began wanting to know more, but is too shy to actually do that (maybe Jinx seems too cool or something). Her daydreams start from that thought.

Could also have a point where Jinx starts receiving almost daily tickets from Lux about some form of tech problem out front, all created on Lux's end just for the chance of chatting. Like "My monitor isn't working," only she's just 'accidentally' unplugged it. Jinx is unsure if Lux is doing it on purpose for some reason or is actually that technically challenged.

I read the orignal 1938 story a lot in high school and there was a 2013 movie with  Ben Stiller. 

The Office set up I think works very well for the story premise and I love just how in a loop the Lux/Jinx relationship is kinda stuck in, leading to the pair just to start daydreaming fantastic scenarios about the other.  Even the fact Lux start to cause tech problems just to get near Jinx more. 

Meanwhile, Vi and Cait (Both company security.)  are probably watching from the outside, while having the same daydreams about each other.

Oh I don’t have the skills, or resources to do it myself. 

The idea came from your post about  Blazamy, of how the two can just talk to each other, and having better communication between Amy and Blaze. (Compared to as you said ‘ it's like a whole song and dance and a few near death experiences to get Sonic and Shadow to talk about their thoughts and feelings, that's just how they are written.)

My idea is ‘what happens when you give a good reason for trouble between the pair?’ and cue Blaze not wanting to get close less  she cause harm to Amy, still loving her dearly for a second time, and Amy wanting to know the truth, no matter how painful it could be for both of them. 

I love all the ships, Amy/Sonic, Amy/Shadow, and yes, Amy/Blaze and you done a wonderful job with them all, especially the Amy Rose, Agent of GUN and Team Dark comic  you are doing right now. If you find the time, I’m sure you could have fun with it. 

Random idea: Blaze and Amy was in a relationship before Amy's death in a slightly different Sonic 2006 timeline. Cue the reboot, Blaze is one of the few who remembers, but is afraid she would cause Amy's second death while wanting to love her again if she gets too close and Amy just wondering who Blaze is and why she seems so familiar... what could go wrong?

Interesting idea. Maybe you should write more about it👍

This is largely what I saw in my mind, more so Anubis/Atreus is the younger brother and Wepwawet as the older compared to  Kratos and Deimos. 

Wepwawet would hold a lot of misplace resentment and frustration aim at his half-brother and just really wants Atreus dead in thinking it could fix it.  

As above, unlike how it ended with Kratos and Deimos, Atreus  and Wepwawet  (Or Ophois in his Greek name.) have the chance to make up and work together as a team and cooperate over the course of the Succession War and teach something to the other. Yes, it is far from easy, and far from simple, but it would be a start for the better of everyone. 

To add to that God of War in Egypt with the remaining Greek Gods also there; how about Aphrodite is in grieving and misses Hephestus and Pandora. Sort of a 'you dont know how good you had it until its gone' deal. She took her lavish life for granted and now that she is all alone, she finds herself reminiscing of her disabled husband and his child. So Atreus and Kratos find some items (a bracelet and a cane) that used to belong to them and hand them over to the former goddess of passion as she takes their words to be a better person for their memory.

Kratos: Hephestus died protecting the one thing he cherished more than you, his child. All his life he was rejected by his family and sought your favor as you had love for everyone. In the end, he believed that he was better off loving and protecting his daughter then seeking love from you.

Aphrodite: I, thank you for your truthful words, Spartan. I know that I cannot change what is already done, and i am to blame for being such a horrible mother and wife. Ares had his charm, but I was too blind to see he only valued me for pleasure. (GoW Ares is one track, unlike your take)

Atreus: Dont be sorry miss, be better. Yes we all made mistakes, some larger than others, but they wouldnt want you to waste away in grief. Try to live and honor their memories by being a better god than what you were before. Everyone deserves a chance to change, dont throw yours away.

Aphrodite: I can see your father clearly in your, and your mother. I shall try and move on, for their sake. Thank you, both of you.

With her sidequest done, Aphrodite vanished and is never heard from again as she strives to remake herself to honor her deceased family.

I had a similar idea, but it was for all the Greeks.

For Aphrodite it's a lot like what you mentioned, but the other ones would have quests as well.

Dionysus: It's helping him find Ariadne, whom he was certain died in the destruction of Olympus. After a few side missions where Kratos and Dionysus bond, you find out she's hiding out in Italy. Dionysus thanks you, calls Kratos brother, and rushes of to find his beloved, moving with purpose for the first time in centuries.

Artemis and Apollo: They didn't particularly care about Olympus and their father, they're more trying to keep Aunt Demeter alive than anything else. Once you end Demeter's quest, Artemis and Apollo lose the energy to hunt you, and go back to wandering the world.

Hestia and Demeter: Their fates are intertwined. Hestia and Demeter are the last of the children of Kronos left, and Hestia just wants to keep her sister alive. But Demeter is so mad with grief at the loss of her daughter that she cannot see anything else. Demeter's quest is part of the Main Quest, and Kratos, who is tired of being the Ghost of Sparta, spares Demeter's life. Demeter can't even respond, she's too broken by grief, and Hestia quietly spirits her away.

At the end of the game, there's a short epilogue, where we see the remaining Greek Gods have come together in a small little village in Italy, built on the banks of the Tiber River, called Rome.

What you and the-foxy-fam-and-friends is very, very good indeed. It definitely  and interesting route to the Greek Gods, and how they story would go.

Aphrodite side quest ending with her wanting to honor both Hephestus and Pandora is very good. 

The side quest  with Dionysus  is fun, more so him calling Kratos brother and having a purpose after so long. Him and Kratos bounding would be pretty to see, even Kratos feel terrible for Dionysus   over losing Ariadne and is later hopeful the two can reunite. 

Hestia and Demeter: It is just plain tragic and does bare parallels with  Ragnarök with Freya  out to get Kratos for  Baldur’s death before becoming an ally.  More so Kratos spares Demeter to put the Ghost of Sparta behind him. 

The thing I love is them forming the basis of Rome. Kratos  mentioned to have fought in the Trojan War (He liked the poem better.) so the remaining Greek Gods founding what is then just a village on the Tiber of Future Rome is a fascinating twist. It does really bring the orignal trilogy to a proper end, and one that isn’t just bloodshed and bring to rest a lot of Kratos’ old ghost. 

On something a little closer to home, in Mythology, Anubis had a brother name Wepwawet, a wolf-headed god that name meant ‘Opener of the Ways’ with inscriptions from the Sinai states that Wepwawet "opens the way" to king Sekhemkhet's victory. So some see him as a sorta scout. Likewise, Wepwawet was said to accompany the pharaoh on hunts, in which capacity he was titled (one with) sharp arrow more powerful than the gods alone.

Later on, Wepwawet  was also seen as one who opened the ways to, and through, Duat, for the spirits of the dead. 

So...one would give Atreus his own older half-brother from his mother’s previous marriage with Set, with similar, but different powers (Think an Scout/Ranger),  and Kratos flashbacks to what happened with Deimos. 

To add to that God of War in Egypt with the remaining Greek Gods also there; how about Aphrodite is in grieving and misses Hephestus and Pandora. Sort of a 'you dont know how good you had it until its gone' deal. She took her lavish life for granted and now that she is all alone, she finds herself reminiscing of her disabled husband and his child. So Atreus and Kratos find some items (a bracelet and a cane) that used to belong to them and hand them over to the former goddess of passion as she takes their words to be a better person for their memory.

Kratos: Hephestus died protecting the one thing he cherished more than you, his child. All his life he was rejected by his family and sought your favor as you had love for everyone. In the end, he believed that he was better off loving and protecting his daughter then seeking love from you.

Aphrodite: I, thank you for your truthful words, Spartan. I know that I cannot change what is already done, and i am to blame for being such a horrible mother and wife. Ares had his charm, but I was too blind to see he only valued me for pleasure. (GoW Ares is one track, unlike your take)

Atreus: Dont be sorry miss, be better. Yes we all made mistakes, some larger than others, but they wouldnt want you to waste away in grief. Try to live and honor their memories by being a better god than what you were before. Everyone deserves a chance to change, dont throw yours away.

Aphrodite: I can see your father clearly in your, and your mother. I shall try and move on, for their sake. Thank you, both of you.

With her sidequest done, Aphrodite vanished and is never heard from again as she strives to remake herself to honor her deceased family.

I had a similar idea, but it was for all the Greeks.

For Aphrodite it's a lot like what you mentioned, but the other ones would have quests as well.

Dionysus: It's helping him find Ariadne, whom he was certain died in the destruction of Olympus. After a few side missions where Kratos and Dionysus bond, you find out she's hiding out in Italy. Dionysus thanks you, calls Kratos brother, and rushes of to find his beloved, moving with purpose for the first time in centuries.

Artemis and Apollo: They didn't particularly care about Olympus and their father, they're more trying to keep Aunt Demeter alive than anything else. Once you end Demeter's quest, Artemis and Apollo lose the energy to hunt you, and go back to wandering the world.

Hestia and Demeter: Their fates are intertwined. Hestia and Demeter are the last of the children of Kronos left, and Hestia just wants to keep her sister alive. But Demeter is so mad with grief at the loss of her daughter that she cannot see anything else. Demeter's quest is part of the Main Quest, and Kratos, who is tired of being the Ghost of Sparta, spares Demeter's life. Demeter can't even respond, she's too broken by grief, and Hestia quietly spirits her away.

At the end of the game, there's a short epilogue, where we see the remaining Greek Gods have come together in a small little village in Italy, built on the banks of the Tiber River, called Rome.

I feel for Set getting dragged into that little Greek family mess with his own problems. On the upside, Apollo is likely the one who helped Set find his old wife in the first place.

On an more serious note, I can easily see Anput being the Angrboda counterpart, as in Egyptian Mythology, she shared a lot of Anubis functions and was his wife. She could be would be the main one trying actively guiding Atreus. (Compared to Nephthys who wants to do the same, but more focus on keeping her son safe, and Kratos who is not happy with any of this, and wanting to avoid the whole war, which his wife would agree at the start, and focus on his own family.)

God of War in Egypt

I kind of wish that the God of War sequel series had taken place in Egypt instead of Midgard. Aside from just loving Egyptian Mythology and it being severely underrated, I really think it could have worked thematically with God of War.

Let me explain.

So, the most famous myth in Egyptian Mythology, and arguably the most important, is the succession crisis between Horus and Set. Basically, Horus is the son of Osiris, the previous King of the Gods, whom Set, Osiris’ brother, murdered and took the throne for his own.

But, it’s not so cut and dry. See, the original King of the Gods was Ra, the creator deity, who was forced out by Isis, mother of Horus and wife of Osiris, and then forced him to name Osiris his heir. Set was Ra’s greatest general and oathsworn warrior, and by all rights should have been king after Ra stepped down. So Horus’ claim isn’t as ironclad as it appears.

So, why does this work?

Because it’s a legitimate divine WAR. A war where no one is clearly in the right or wrong, and both sides have to stand on the strength of their morals, rather than being ruled by a generic fantasy Evil King you need to rebel against.

So, picture this for the God of War sequel series:

Kratos makes his way to Egypt after the fiasco in Greece, and there he meets Nephthys, the sister of Isis and a Goddess of Night, the Dead, and Air. Nephthys is in hiding as she doesn’t want to get involved in the war between her family. She knows who Kratos is, he’s got a reputation, and hides her identity as a Goddess, tending to his wounds. They end up falling in love and having a child together, whom they name Atreus. But Nephthys gives him a different name in secret.

She names him Anubis.

When Atreus is young, the family is thrown into the Succession War when Nephthys’ identity is revealed. This obviously pisses of Kratos because he’s still in his “hates all the Gods” thing and thinks Nephthys used him. But he still loves her, and despite the tension the three of them try to keep themselves together and try to stay alive in the midst of this divine war.

They don’t really like either side of the war, and both occupy a somewhat villainous position in the beginning. Horus is an arrogant jerk and Set is a brutal warrior. Both are meant to be a parallel to Kratos as well, Set having a similar backstory and warrior mindset and Horus emodying the brutal hateful anger at everything that made Kratos destroy the Olympian pantheon.

Basically, Atreus/Anubis in these games would be Kratos’ opposite. He’s gentle and weak where Kratos is brutal and powerful. Atreus’ unique ability is to communicate with the dead, drawing power from them and laying their spirits to rest. It’s this power that makes him indispensable to the war, as he gains the ability to do the same with dead Gods as well, including Osiris.

Ultimately, it’s revealed that Apophis, the Chaos Serpent, has been manipulating both sides this whole time in an effort to throw the world into chaos. Isis finally relents her mbition, Horus unbend his pride, and Set stops fighting.

They end up putting Ra back on the Throne for the coming conflict with Apophis, and the gods recognize Atreus as Anubis, one of their pantheon. Kratos is forced to learn to trust Gods and realize that Ra is not the tyrant Zeus was. He forgives Nephthys for her deception and accepts his son as a God, and they work together against Apophis.

I dunno. I just think it could work.

That’s actually is a wonderful idea. 

The main surviving Greek Gods should be Aphrodite, Apollo, Demeter and Artemis. Hestia  too as you pointed out and maybe Dionysus. Demeter especially would be hell-bent on killing Kratos for killing her daughter on top of everything else. (Despite   Persephone trying to end the whole world along with herself in Chains of Olympus.) She go after Atreus in an heartbeat. 

Apollo and Artemis would be the biggest after Demeter to want Kratos’ head for destroying  the Greek Pantheon and the destruction of Greece itself.  Aphrodite  may not be as lustful as we saw her last. Dionysus drinking away with Egyptian wine. 

Hestia may be the only real one that could want to make peace with Kratos and see her grandnephew in Atreus/Anubis. 

On the flip-side, you may find surviving Spartans who still worships Kratos  as the God of War for better, or for worst.  Even an aged, older version of the Last Spartan, Kratos most loyal mortal follower leading them.

Now this... this is very good. 

Egypt in by itself a very fascinating culture and society from start to finish. The overall set up with Set, and Horus, the whole civil war/the Succession War. I am reminded of Assassin’s Creed Origins which I feel could be very useful in such an project. Especially it   Discovery Mode. 

(I try not to spoiler too much of Ragnarok, but no promises.) 

Nephthys’ as Kratos wife and Atreus as Anubis works very well in compared to the Norse duology of Faye/Laufey and Atreus Giant name of Loki. I can honestly see it starting much like 2018/Ragnarok, Set himself showing up at Kratos’ frontdoor, maybe somewhere in Upper Egypt, with some of his men,  wanting for Nephthys to come out, making an sly reference to the ‘Ghost of Sparta’, pushing Kratos’ buttons and starting  the first big boss fight.  

Of course, Nephthys alive and well, and so Kratos is rightfully upset at her secrets and possible nefarious motives of him and their son, which  Nephthys  denies the latter and she was only trying to get away from her former husband/brother before meeting Kratos. It does makes it a interesting dynamic o the whole family together and all the clear tensions and problems of it at the start.

On Atreus on being Anubis, it works very well with him being Loki, but also very different. it odd, Anubis was one of the most important Gods of Egypt, but there few myths about him. Him talking to dead gods like Osiris is a very good plotpoint not unlike the Norse duology. Like going to Duat, or the Field of Reeds. 

Set and Horus as parallels to Old Kratos is also very good.  Horus in particular, even at his worst, wants to Avenged his father Osiris and honor his mother Isis. 

I also see them letting go, which is a big theme in  Ragnarok, which Set, Horus, and Isis all succeed in letting go. (As you said, Isis’ her ambitions, Set his fighting, and Horus his pride.) 

Also given this is Egypt, I can see there being far more Greek influence and tied ins of the original   Greek Era. There a long history between Greece and Egypt. See Kratos and his family forced go to Tahpanhes, Naucratis, Heracleion, or Cyrene (Something he want to avoid at all costs.), and Atreus seeing an fresco, or Temple of the Old Kratos as the God of War, and/or his rampage across Greece, or Greeks fleeing in terror of seeing the older Kratos. 

As for allies, I think Hathor could work as one of the group and one of the most powerful ones. Thoth too as a strictly role of  neutrality at the start of it. Bastet is seeking to place Ra back in power, but not necessarily allied with Set. Or turn thr tables it to ally with Horus.  (Never mind Sekhmet...) Min, the God of Fertility, is one of Horus main allies, possible half brother, or a old lover to Isis as well as Horus own four sons.  The thing about Egypt is the sheer number of Gods, big and minor. 

Set meanwhile has a lot of foreign  gods behind him. (Set the God of foreigners. So see a lot of Near Easterns and Libyans.)  

  Meanwhile, Ra is just chilling on his Solar Barque, that can rival even Olympus. 

I even just loved the idea of Kratos going to get cities of Ancient Egypt that can rival, or even put to shame those of Greece. Thebes and Memphis, the  lost city of Thonis or Amarna,  Luxor,  Abydos,  Hermopolis, the Valley of the Kings, the Giza Plateau and more.

Azir probably even worshiped Janna back in his mortal days. If anything, he backed the Janna cult/Church of the Storm and Priestess Jinx for the short and long term. 

Jinx  going the route of becoming an Ascended/God Warrior is pretty insane to think about in of itself. An chaotic version of Thoth/Ptah would be awesome to see. 

On the large scale enemies aside from Xerath and Renekton, Noxus and the Void would be on the list.North Shurima is dominated by Noxus like Bel'zhun, Tereshni, and Urzeris.

The South meanwhile has a lot of nasty void stuff going on out of Icathia. and stuff like Sai Kahleek. Same for the Darkin from the Void War.

Piltover/Zaun may find itself between rock and hard place of the New Shuriman Empire and Noxus if you went that way.

Fucken wild idea (you can use it if you want, I'll probs never make a fic in my life, I cant write for shit)

Jinx has a mental breakdown while living with Silco at like age 14 (before Vi gets out of prison) and thinks she's going to jinx Silco and getting independence for Zaun and pulls a journey to the west (yes I have been rereading the jttw don't @ me) and goes on a pilgrimage to find enlightenment/ how tf not to be a Jinx to everyone around me, everyone thinks she's fucken dead coz this was entirely impromptu, including Ekko and Zeri (she's there). And Jinx just kinda travels the world meeting new people making enemies and friends along the way including one "special" Demacian *wink* *wink*. She ultimately makes her way to shurima (note Janna has been guiding her journey) and finds like this sunken temple that was dedicated to Janna full of forgotten ancient relics and scripture detailing Zaun and Jannas history. And Jinx is all like tf do I do? And Janna visits her in her dreams and is like, daughter of mine, rewrite our old scripture and traditions into modern zauns language and once you've done become my priestess and bring back our culture to Zaun. And jinx is like seems legit and does that for like 2 and a half years (she's like 18 after this) and makes her way back to Zaun

Meanwhile back at the twin city's, Caitlyn broke Vi out of prison to help with her investigation, Vi finds out from sevika that jinx is probs dead, and Ekko basically confirms it, shit happens Zaun gets it's independence, a year goes by and Jinx 5 years older one pilgrimage and religious awakening later has finally made it back home to Zaun and Silco, Silco of course is ecstatic to have his daughter back and wants to show off to Zaun and Piltover that the princess and heir of Zaun has finally returned, Jinx is like umm dad, Ive had like a religious awakening and such and went on a pilgrimage across the world and I brought back a bunch of scripture of Janna and the church of the storm and I'm basically a priestess now can we umm get Jannas old church back up and running? Silco of course agrees, anything for his little girl. A gala at Piltover rolls around and what's the best way to announce the return of the princess of Zaun then to upstage a piltoven event? So Jinx and slico and the other chembarons go to the gala and guess who's there, Caitlyn, Vi, Ekko and Zeri also Lux and a bunch of Jinx's friends from around the world (jinx has so many political connections it's scary)

You can kinda imagine what happens next, Vi , Ekko and Zeri freak the fuck out, Jinx/powder is alive what? Ekko and Zeri are like do we need to fight she works for Silco, but this is a gala and Jinx is clearly been invited judging by her dress. While Vi is all like at first HOLY SHIT POWDER IS ALIVE, WHAT THE FUCK IS SILCO DOING WITH HER, WHY THE FUCK IS HE WITH HER, GET TF AWAY FROM MY SISTER! Jinx is like Vi wtf ,don't make a scene and drags her off. Caitlyn is all the while awkwardly standing there not really know what to do but be kinda excited to know that vis innocent baby sister is alive, and is like new sister pog as well as the fact she seems to be very close to a Crownguard who has been basically been a bodyguard and shadowed her the entire evening which can only mean good things(Ekko never had the heart to tell Vi jinx worked for Slico, and Vi just talked about her little sis to Cait all the time and Cait has gotten attached to her even tho she's never met her)

Eh can't be bothered to keep going, it's like past 12 am for me and I need to do work tomorrow

Night clown

We Prince of Egypt AU now, love it (I know the movie is based on the bible, but I've never read it so Prince of Egypt AU it is). Jinx having a spiritual journey just like Moses did while wandering through a desert.

You could almost cut everything and just focus on Shurima adventures too, especially if you wanted to have Jinx interaction with the colourful Shurima champs (or actively try to ignore them while doing her translations only to have them constantly bug her). Jinx could still have traveled all over the place, but you could keep it to backstory or references just to keep the story focused, anything you'd want more detail in could just be side stories.

Like Jinx has holed up in an old catacomb or something and just is constantly interrupted. Nasus could stop in to teach her how to read ancient Shuriman (useful, Jinx likes), which then makes Renekton come bursting in to fight (even when Nasus isn't there and after the first couple times of Jinx actually fearing for her life she just kinda gets used to it and tells him Nasus isn't there much to Renekton's disappointment).

Sivir could show up initially thinking it was a new tomb to explore only to find Jinx, somehow they hit it off and Sivir starts bugging her to raid tombs together since Jinx is an explosives expert + her lessons with Nasus means she can read ancient Shuriman and knows a lot about old architecture.

That could then lead Azir (leaning on his interactions with Sivir from LoR) to showing up trying to use Jinx as a means of getting close with Sivir or even just learning what she's doing, because she wants nothing to do with him. He'd just call her Scribe or something like "Scribe, how was my great granddaughters day? Did she....mention me at all?" Have Azir go off on "For your usefulness to me over the years I shall consider you an honorary Shuriman when Shurima finally rises to its true splendor under my rule! Feel pride in earning such a status Scribe! Maybe even Royal Scribe may be in your future should such usefulness continue!" to which Jinx just goes "Yeah sure, cool."

Taliyah could be the one normal friend she actually likes to see because when she see's Jinx is busy she'll just come back another time while leaving a note. They can go sand surfing together and Taliyah would deliver Jinx's mail correspondence with the other people she met on her journey to keep in touch.

Not really sure about the other Shuriman champions. Would be funny if Jinx went "You know, I think you're my favourite of all the Shuriman weirdos I've met, you keep things simple y'know?" towards Rammus who just responds with "OK" While with Amumu it's "Y'know I get you, but I'm still not hugging you. Maintain our agreed upon distance."

The reason so many years pass before Jinx finally leaves is because of the constant interruptions, but through it she ascends (hehe) to a level of patients not previously thought possible. She gets so used to dealing with the constant interruptions from these Gods and other powerful beings she doesn't even blink and just accepts it.

Upon actually returning to Zaun would be kinda funny if people were more weirded out at how incredibly mellow Jinx is than the fact she's actually back.

At that Gala would be where she could interact with the others she met on her journey. Everyone could be weirded out at the Shuriman delegates just approaching Jinx going "Scribe, Emperor Azir wishes to seek your wisdom on a most important topic. He wishes to know if you have any knowledge as to what Lady Sivir's favourite food might be? Emperor Azir wishes to gift her such for his upcoming visit."

Idk, does sound like a fun idea that I might possible look into doing something for (adding it to the pile ;-;) since Shurima is a pretty neat place which also bleeds into my childhood love of Egypt (I wanted to be an Egyptologist as a kid :3).

I love this idea myself and hats off to    thelittleastronautinspace for coming up with it in the first place, Same for you for all the extra thought you added to it.

Shurima does not have that many champions,but does have several big name lore ones as well as popular ones among the fandom,  and connected to many others, that and Shurima  rich past, culture, history, an sheer size, there a ton you could do with an Jinx that heads into the sands and getting involved with a lot of the big moments there and champions.

 Little things like Jinx ealry on is lost in the desert, but suddenly an tree grows up and shades her.  Or living in an half-sunken temple. 

Jinx being good for years also brings up the question of how Piltover and Zaun would turn out without her. More so if Azir’s New Empire is pushing northward to them, or the now deeply religious Jinx to Janna and  Ascended. Or the fact she friends and allies with so many of the big names from the south.

I don’t have too many ideas for this right now, but I also deeply love Egypt and Egyptology. Even today  we’re  finding tons of stuff.

Jinx is like Vi wtf ,don't make a scene and drags her off. Caitlyn is all the while awkwardly standing there not really know what to do but be kinda excited to know that vis innocent baby sister is alive, and is like new sister pog as well as the fact she seems to be very close to a Crownguard who has been basically been a bodyguard and shadowed her the entire evening which can only mean good things(Ekko never had the heart to tell Vi jinx worked for Slico, and Vi just talked about her little sis to Cait all the time and Cait has gotten attached to her even tho she's never met her)

Eh can't be bothered to keep going, it's like past 12 am for me and I need to do work tomorrow

We Prince of Egypt AU now, love it (I know the movie is based on the bible, but I've never read it so Prince of Egypt AU it is). Jinx having a spiritual journey just like Moses did while wandering through a desert.

You could almost cut everything and just focus on Shurima adventures too, especially if you wanted to have Jinx interaction with the colourful Shurima champs (or actively try to ignore them while doing her translations only to have them constantly bug her). Jinx could still have traveled all over the place, but you could keep it to backstory or references just to keep the story focused, anything you'd want more detail in could just be side stories.

Like Jinx has holed up in an old catacomb or something and just is constantly interrupted. Nasus could stop in to teach her how to read ancient Shuriman (useful, Jinx likes), which then makes Renekton come bursting in to fight (even when Nasus isn't there and after the first couple times of Jinx actually fearing for her life she just kinda gets used to it and tells him Nasus isn't there much to Renekton's disappointment).

Sivir could show up initially thinking it was a new tomb to explore only to find Jinx, somehow they hit it off and Sivir starts bugging her to raid tombs together since Jinx is an explosives expert + her lessons with Nasus means she can read ancient Shuriman and knows a lot about old architecture.

That could then lead Azir (leaning on his interactions with Sivir from LoR) to showing up trying to use Jinx as a means of getting close with Sivir or even just learning what she's doing, because she wants nothing to do with him. He'd just call her Scribe or something like "Scribe, how was my great granddaughters day? Did she....mention me at all?" Have Azir go off on "For your usefulness to me over the years I shall consider you an honorary Shuriman when Shurima finally rises to its true splendor under my rule! Feel pride in earning such a status Scribe! Maybe even Royal Scribe may be in your future should such usefulness continue!" to which Jinx just goes "Yeah sure, cool."

Taliyah could be the one normal friend she actually likes to see because when she see's Jinx is busy she'll just come back another time while leaving a note. They can go sand surfing together and Taliyah would deliver Jinx's mail correspondence with the other people she met on her journey to keep in touch.

Not really sure about the other Shuriman champions. Would be funny if Jinx went "You know, I think you're my favourite of all the Shuriman weirdos I've met, you keep things simple y'know?" towards Rammus who just responds with "OK" While with Amumu it's "Y'know I get you, but I'm still not hugging you. Maintain our agreed upon distance."

The reason so many years pass before Jinx finally leaves is because of the constant interruptions, but through it she ascends (hehe) to a level of patients not previously thought possible. She gets so used to dealing with the constant interruptions from these Gods and other powerful beings she doesn't even blink and just accepts it.

Upon actually returning to Zaun would be kinda funny if people were more weirded out at how incredibly mellow Jinx is than the fact she's actually back.

At that Gala would be where she could interact with the others she met on her journey. Everyone could be weirded out at the Shuriman delegates just approaching Jinx going "Scribe, Emperor Azir wishes to seek your wisdom on a most important topic. He wishes to know if you have any knowledge as to what Lady Sivir's favourite food might be? Emperor Azir wishes to gift her such for his upcoming visit."

Idk, does sound like a fun idea that I might possible look into doing something for (adding it to the pile ;-;) since Shurima is a pretty neat place which also bleeds into my childhood love of Egypt (I wanted to be an Egyptologist as a kid :3).

2; Oh how fun! Best of luck on it then and I love to see how it turns out.

4: I see . Still sounds fascinating and I even played a few God games myself on AH.Com. it be fascinating to see what they're like and the world below them and around them.

Wanting to post random AUs I’m sitting on just to get peoples opinions, but then there’s the expectations I’ll work on them regularly. I don’t know if there’s a way of sidestepping that by tagging it something like “Concept Fic” just so I don’t add more to my large plate.

Think even if I did I’d still leave at least some people eager for more…

Currently got (Practically all Lightcannon btw, its claws are deep):

Nature Mage Jinx gets exiled to Demacia and chills with Ivern in the woods.

Canon Divergent AU where Jinx’s attempt at using the Hexgem opens a small portal allowing for Dark Cosmic Lux to get out of pocket dimension prison (This one I actually just have to think of an ending for…)

Monster Slayer Lux with Goblin Powder and Siren Seraphine.

Gods/Goddess AU taking inspo from Greek and Celtic myth, honestly the one I’m most eager to share since I experimented with my writing style.

There’s also that Demon fic which is 13k words that I got stuck on…

Maybe it might turn out okay if I work shopped a soft/open ending for each? Though that might be a bit hard for some of them…

My first thoughts...

2 sounds pretty fun and in-line to a lot of other stuff you work like Welcome to the Void, An Angel Just for Me , and A Strange New Beginning. Things would get very wild given Jinx just freed an cosmic being of untold power into the world.  

4 too given I love Mythology, and given LoL stuff like the Aspects , the God-Warriors, Freljordian Demi-gods, Other Spirit Gods, I think you could have a lot of fun of say Jinx becoming an Aspect host as did Lux. (And where does Jinx end, and the Aspect ends?)
