Anything Is Possible.  His Official Overwatch 2 Backtstory States Junkrat Founds Something On The Lines

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. 

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.

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.

https://www.tumblr.com/hellomrhistoryman/737875839474171904/my-thoughts-on-the-subject-the-omnic-crisis?source=share

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;

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

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

Disney in all, but name. 

Well, it’s kind of hard to think of yourself as a duchess when you’re sleeping on a damp floor. But, sure, every lonely girl would hope she’s a princess.

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.

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.)

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. 

God of War in Egypt

I dunno. I just think it could work.

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.

XXX

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

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?) 

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…

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.
