So I looked up my notes, and turns out I didn't have more characters. I did some more thinking though and this is what I ended up with
Choso -> Lawless. You may notice how the personalities come secondary to the position in the story/to the other characters (and my own preferences in that case). I'm not sure who Licht would be in that equation, possibly Yuki, but it doesn't feel right yet.
Mai -> Mikuni. 5% because of Maki and 95% because she deserves her time to shine.
Nobara -> Izuna
I am in fact working on drawing this, but there has been this JJK x Servamp AU floating around in my head for a while
My base is as follows:
Megumi -> Mahiru
Toji -> Touma
Maki -> Tsurugi
These three are the "center" of the whole system if you will, because I like the idea of Toji living and taking in/training Maki, all while Megumi is completely unaware of the situation. On that matter it's also funny how Megumi inherited special abilities from a parent that lacked them while it's the other way round with Mahiru.
On that base, some more characters:
Gojo -> Tooru
Yuji -> Kuro*
Sukuna -> Sloth*
Kenjaku -> Saint Germain
Geto -> Tsubaki possibly? It's fitting in terms of positions in the story but not really relationships with the other characters, if anyone has suggestions for him I'm all ears
Mahito -> Higan
Junpei -> Sakuya**
* I'm aware the personalities don't fit here, but the position in the story works too well to ignore
** another one I'm not sure about, that's probably a point where you'd have to twist the plot a little to bring him closer to Kuro/Yuji, I'm not sure how that'd work

Every demon in demon slayer: I’m sad, I did bad things, but inside I was human, and I wanted a different thing, I’m so sad, but hopefully I will find rest
Enmu: damn... I’m so sad... I couldn’t even kill one person
Sometimes I almost forget how many serial killers there are in servamp. Like I'm not saying you can't love them despite that, but canonically characters like lawless, tsubaki, touma and tsurugi are all serial killers.
Like, it's fiction, like what you like. But sometimes it feels like the fandom ignores that these characters killed a lot of innocent people except maybe when it comes to touma because he's just that much of an asshole. Lawless might regret it now and he does remember their names, but lawless did kill all of his eves after ophelia before he changed his mind in the main story. These people didn't do anything wrong except being "exceptional" at something. I like lawless. I like that he feels regret for killing tsubaki's subclass. I just feel like he could feel a bit more regret for killing all that mostly young, talented humans he killed because of his own issues. These people had their whole lives ahead of them.
So you know how during the Gallopolis quest in act I, when Eleven is impersonating Faris, there's this scene of everyone cheering for him before the race starts, and... do you think he was imagining himself in this position?
He was born a prince. It could be his people calling his name, his father looking at him so proudly. He's not really Faris, and sure, it doesn't really matter, but it could have been him. If things had gone differently so many years ago, this would be his life.
Sure, I really don't think he'd be happy living as a prince after the way his life took. But still, he got to experience a glimpse of something that was taken from him before he ever truly had it.
(Kinda spoilers for a late game banter i guess? That’s abt it-)
(Transcript under the cut)
(Hikari, Throné and Temenos are seated at a table)
Hikari: (singing) "Once ambitions are sated and done are deeds, the day shall come for us to lead. Our hope, shining bright. Our home, bathed in light.”
Temenos: What song was that, Hikari?
Hikari: A song for my friends
Temenos: A song… For your friends?
Hikari: Mhm
(Temenos and Throné gasp, and start tearing up-)
Partitio: Oh hey I can sing too!
Partitio, singing horribly: COUNTRY ROADS!!! TAKE ME HOME!!!
(Temenos, Throné — and now Hikari too — start crying but worse-)
Bungou Stray Dogs really managed to have an arc where the story goes from 0 to 100 without killing off half the cast and I have nothing but respect for that
