an au in which.. well different outfits that the ninja have had are actually just who they are

okay so i have much to explain so STRAP IN

so i came up with this idea really suddenly like ten million thoughts just hit me in the head, but the main concept is that

the world is actually a post apocalyptic style scenario, there's an "above" new ninjago city, that was built on top of the old overgrown and kind of abandoned old ninjago city (i imagine it having like glowy mushrooms and stuff and having some sort of a pretty factor to it)

i also see this whole world being full of like a multitude of different species with all sorts of wacky features (this is all kinda like years and years after the disaster that destroyed the og ninjago, so it has very cyberpunk-y and modern elements)

let's call it the (PA au. just post apocalyptic for short)

(this has been compared to that one show called arcane before. i. ive never watched arcane. /gen.. so yeah. i know its similar. its a coincidence. i promise. )

now, our characters consist of

kai - aka. the red shogun. (the outfit is prime empire kai, kind of combined with the red shogun outfit from season 4) a villain turned superhero vigilante, who's just doing his gosh darn best, and has a whole team who keeps his back safe! lloyd - aka. GB (prime empire lloyd) a trained mercenary and the leader of a gang that does everything from trading substances, weapons and machines in the black market, to simply bounty hunting. he's an untrustworthy, quiet but sly and feared leader, whos really just a sad and lost kid at heart. people say he takes after his father, but he wouldnt admit that. jay - aka. superstar rockin' jay!! (prime empire jay, ofc) he's a celebrity rockstar both in the above world AND in the undercity. though he mostly spends his time up above. he's still part of kai's vigilante team! nya- aka. THE FREAKIN SEA (seabound nya) she's a part of the sea that decided "fuck it!! we ball!!" and left to see what life on land is all about! she met kai and quickly became really close with him and they became siblings! shes the first member of his team! and she's kind of confused but she's DEFINITELY got the spirit! zane- aka. snake jaguar (the outfit from sons of garmadon) just like kai he's a vigilante, a wielder of ice. he goes undercover in lloyds gang and becomes his right hand man, but gives crucial information to his team, so they can take down lloyd's operation. cole- ROCKY FREAKIN DANGERBUFF, yet ANOTHER member of kai's team, he's from the dangerbuff clan! one of the groups of people who live their lives in the undercity. he's a dancer and a beast hunter, but also a kick ass hero just like the rest of the team! pixal- samurai x!! she's also a hero, that kind of rivals red shogun and kind of doesnt like him at all, but she does get kind of close to one of his team members... if you know what i mean

i will say that ALL the members of the squad still have their elemental powers, i havent yet properly fully thought that part out but i know for sure that they do.

SO YEAH. lloyd is actually kind of the villian for a large part of this au. i tried my best to not change his personality in a way that wouldnt be natural for his character to progress. in my head he grew up kind of sheltered from the outside world entirely. he's not really a... person? he's his role and thats that. he was never really loved by anyone therefore doesnt really know...emotion. all that well. he may act like a bratty teenager from time to time when he's taunting his enemies, but that's just... a character that he's playing up. he really just has no clue what hes doing.

(everything im not saying here is in the little notes i left on the drawings, though they may not be canon since i wrote down concepts and ideas there too)

his dad, garmadon, also is a little different in this au. basically "good" garmadon isnt really a thing (hes basically JUST the version from the oni trillogy). he was the previous gang leader BEFORE lloyd but he vanished and supposedly died. so lloyd had to take his place.

the ACTUAL. REAL VILLAIN of this au is harumi. who, fr. is still just herself. she's also kind of the second in command to lloyd. and she betrays him. and kind of takes the gang all to herself. leaving lloyd to help out the heroes...and finally find a family in the process.

its very emotional in my head and i am so scrambled right now these are the only semi-coherent thoughts.

i would LOVE to talk more about this au. if you have any questions or ideas or ANYTHING really.. do send asks about it... im in such deep brainrot for it and rambling on tumblr is apparently a thing that i do! (who wouldve thunk!)

this au was also made with the help of @shadesofvermillionvoid as USUAL.. so you can send asks there too!!! give kai all the love ever ash deserve it!!

... and to whoever bothered to read all this. wow. thank you! :D i feel very seen

Ninjago AU - The Writings on The Wall

|| Incorrect Quotes || Character Profiles ||

Still working on it so y'all get my notes :3

Premise and everything under the cut.

Feel free to ask any questions about it.

Premise.

The Merge happened at least 100 years ago, back when Garmadon and Wu were still relatively young.

Garmadon left the monastery after some difficult time with his father, only writing every now and then to let everyone know he was still alive. Wu stayed at the monastery.

Garmadon is on a quest to find the Dragon Cores, Wu too tho he's still mainly stationed at the Monastery, they don't know what the other is doing. Here is where the merge happens.

Wu gets visions and scrolls about something similar happening 100 yrs later so he's on the move to find them again, he's also training a Ninja team to protect the Crossroads.

Garmadon has been traveling around still in search of the dragon cores, but on the trip he ends up adopting a bunch of kids he decides to raise (he also has Lloyd) so he moves to the Crossroad too.

And chaos ensues.

The Groups and Ages

Garmadon Kids aka Pandemonium Kids

Skylor Chen - 16yrs old Kai Jiang-Smith - 15yrs old Morro Wojira - 14yrs old Nya Jian-Smith 13yrs old Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon - 9yrs old Wyldfyre Wyrven - 5 yrs old Heatwave? - MIA

+1 - Harumi Jade- 10yrs old

Wu's Kids aka The Ninja

Zane Julien - 17yrs old? Cole Brookstone - 17yrs old Jay Walker - 16 yrs old Pixal Borg - 16yrs old Arin Spinjitzu - 6yrs old Sora Nekomata - 7yrs old Riyu - Baby dragon

Both Garmadon and Wu are over 150 yrs old. Misako is around 60.

World/Realms notes

Ninjago - Humans mainly

Wyldness/Chima - Beast-like/Weres body structure

Imperium - Cyberpunk

Departed - Ghosts keep the form of what they killed them (Stabbed will have the stab wound in the open for, decpaitated will have a floating head, etc)

Onis and Dragons - Dragons are western-like looking [Dragons, Wyverns, Drakes, Wyrms, etc], Onis (same as canon) hunters are dieselpunk based.

Cloud kingdom - Angel-like imagery

Never realm - Formlings behave like shapeshifters [Can shapeshit onto their animal fully or partially, also have a "beast" form"]

Underworld - Skeletons and "hell-like" image

Djinjago - Same as canon?… maybe

Realm of Madness - Think of it like evil Alice in wonderland [So like, American McGee's Alice or IB]

Realm of Lee - TBD, maybe Candy-based, no info has been given about this one

Realm of Mysteryum - TBA

Species notes

Serpentine are more like Lamias/Medusa/Naga looking

Geckle - Same as canon

Munce - Same as canon

Merlopians - Similar to canon, some folks look more like mermaids (Also take inspiration from Zoras/Zelda)

Sky Folks- Similar to canon, (some inspiration from Rito/Wind Waker-Zelda)

Craglings - Same as canon (Golems)

Djinns - Same as canon?

Formlings - Shapeshifter similar to canon (Human form, Anthro & Feral forms, Beast/Were form)

Characters notes

Jay & Skylor are "Half Serpentine" through magical transformation

Morro & Cole are half-ghost "Danny Phantom" Style

Harumi and Arin are full humans

Sora is human w cyberware

Euphrasia is angel-like (Cloud kingdom resident)

Geo is half munce and half geckle like canon

Morro & Euphrasia are both wind elementals (Morro has an easy control over Sea and Land breezes, Euphrasia has a better control of Mountains breezes)

Garmadon- 1/2 Oni and 1/2 Dragon- More Oni-Like looking (Looks like a Gargoyle)

Wu-More Dragon Looking (Humanoid Anthro style)

Extra Notes

Dragon hunters have a noticeable hold on the Black Market, Imperium is one of their most regular clients (Beatrix and Ras specifically)

Imperium is hunting both dragons and elementals.

The Crossroads is situated around Ninjago city, with Ninjago city serving as the "heart" of the whole place, you could explore the whole crossroads if you just drive in circles. (Will take you some time tho)

Ninjago AU where everything is the same, but the creators actually take the time and effort to respectfully incorperate Asian culture into the show, while also keeping the mystical and sometimes cyberpunk vibe of the show.

#ninjago #[submission]#[SO REAL FOR THAT THO.]#[I love ninjago but the hodge podge of barely researched asian cultures makes me want to scream]

I kinda wanna answer questions about Galaxy so imma make a QnA post thing!

I have several Galaxy AUs, I'll list as many as I can here, and you can ask about any of em!

Original!Galaxy/NinjagoMultiverseAU! Galaxy (this is her original storyline. I have most of the story in my head, and can probably answer any question. As per the name of this AU, its set in a multiverse, so FNaF, Murder Drones, Lackadaisy, WoF, Minecraft Story Mode, and all fictional universes are canon. She's only been to a few (out of the infinite universes, so yeah. Crystalized also took place a year after she ended up in Ninjago, as well as Morro's mortal return, so there's that!)

Murder Drones AU (Essentially Galaxy as a worker drone! I have most of this lore too!)

Pirates of the Caribbean AU (this is a relatively new one (by new, barely a week old), but I have a good chunk of lore!)

Deal with the Enemy (Lackadaisy) AU (this one I have a wip fic for! Questions might actually help me develop the story a bit!)

Blue visor!AU (basically, an au of my multiverse Au set in a post apocalyptic cyberpunk Ninjago. Galaxy's reputation has been ruined by an evil alternate version of herself, and has taken the identity of Blue Visor (the leader of the resistance) to hide her identity, and keep fighting after the ninja's deaths.)

WoF AU (this is very little developed. I have a design for her and a few details, but not too much. I'm hoping to get it developed a little more!)

MLP Infection AU (also a new one, and I don't have the infection fully developed yet, so questions would probably help with that! I have stat art for her, but I probably won't post until I can disable third party sharing (as I don't want my stuff shared with AI))

Spiderverse!AU (Galaxy as a spider woman. Don't have this one all that well developed, but she's in the same universe as Spiderverse Herobrine, and he's her mentor. I have designs of both (Gal's from a picrew), but again, I probably won't post the answer until I can disable that sharing setting.)

Evil!Galaxy (as this one suggests, this is Galaxy, but opposite. I wanted to play around with Galaxy's moral values, and flip them on their head. Takes place in an AU of the multiverse au.)

Guidelines:

No NSFW asks (THEY WILL BE DELETED, AND YOU'LL BE BLOCKED)

You're allowed to ask as many questions as you want, from as many different ones as you want! Just be sure to specify which each question belongs to!!^^

And here's her TH folder, in case y'all want to see what she looks like before asking! https://toyhou.se/GalaxyDragonshifter/characters/folder:4802082

Cyberpunk au

RGB designs for a new au

Important things:

The inspiration for this was the game Stray (that I finally played).

This is a hyperfixation that I don't know when it's going to end. I'll probably draw things from it as much as my motivation lets me but don't expect it to be a constant thing like Eclipse or On the road.

I love worldbuilding so there is a lot of details of this au already, feel free to ask questions.

The world is dark and very corrupted but the tone of the au is chill because the sibs dgaf about the world.

Worldbuilding details (my friend wrote this because this is complicated and I suck at writing) [very long text under the cut]:

The key element of this AU’s worldbuilding is a new biohazardous artificial plant which was originally genetically engineered by the scientist of the RGB’s city-state to fight the air pollution that plagued the region by attempting to reduce the amount of CO2 from the atmosphere (yes this is a biopunk universe :)). However, because they are an ugly reddish colour, have a bitter taste and are extremely nutrient-deficient and unhealthy, they have no natural predators and can spread like wildfire across both fertile plots and forests like weeds. On top of that, due to that nutrient deficiency, which stems from the slow absorption ability of their roots (not nearly enough to keep the heavy rate of photosynthesis), they evolved on their own to attach themselves to other living beings as parasites and basically invaded the entire area around the metropolis. With them being potentially lethal, this caused a massive problem that made the city panic; although they have plenty of weak points (like fire and a vulnerable immune system) and it takes them very long to get their roots to the rest of the body, their grip is so deep and strong that the only option is to remove the infected body part. So their special ability became a critical issue when the plants unexpectedly ended up liking animals better, and with them humans themselves, because they could carry them to other places and infest those too while still sucking the life out of them until they die (oopsie). Ultimately, with the lack of proper information on the parasites, and because the situation was handled very poorly overall, they ended up taking many people’s lives and made the most vulnerable species of the area (like cattle) go endangered or extinct, which in turn altered the balance of the ecosystem and the working class’ means of living :).

Sorry this chunk was so technical, we (@kaigoesbrr and I) are biology nerds, but basically the plants were so good at making more oxygen and so ass at getting what they needed to do so that they became parasites, and now they get what they need from plants and animals (and they like animals better, like humans, because they have more stuff and help them spread further). Then society collapsed :).

All of this caused a deep economic crisis that brought about high rates of poverty, and with it, a deep fear of the infested world outside the city walls. So this whole conundrum led to the city closing off to the lands around it, implementing absurd levels of security like a tight border control and a slower, more strict business traffic, and making a huge dark translucent dome that encapsulates the whole city to keep any potential smuggled plants from ever growing by blocking the natural sunlight. They even made a ditch around their walls (kind of like a moat) and burnt and bombed the fields and suburbs around them to make them extremely infertile. So yeah, this city-state is a terrible place to live, a gloomy prison where not even the sun and stars can be seen, but most the inhabitants never leave out of that paranoid terror and the heavy bureaucracy needed to just go outside and touch grass.

(haha with poor funding corrupt scientists who didn’t know what they were doing made a mess, shocker how that would backfire horribly).

However, the outside isn’t as bad as they make it out to be. In the end, the plants did clean the air as they were supposed to, and, as nature does, it did somewhat recover from the disaster to where human life is now sustainable again.

Taking advantage of their thick crust, trees were the least affected by the plague, and the other plants in the forest developed new natural defences against the parasites, which was yet another reason why they in turn became best at infecting animals. And many of the fungi, abundant in the now more humid forest (haha cooler air equals more rain), took advantage of their weak immune system (due to their fucking incompetent creators making a mess of the original plant’s DNA) and infected them (haha scammer get scammed). So basically, the fields and farmlands were lost to the people, but the forests are still intact. Also, even though one of the rivers around the city, the one which makes its ways under it and is therefore connected to the water supply and sewer systems, is trashed, the other, which is further away, is now perfectly healthy due to the city closing off and therefore leaving it alone for enough time. The real issue here lies within the actual government, which obviously does not want to expose how corrupt and lazy they are when dealing with problems and so they keep fueling the paranoia of their most vulnerable citizens since they are kids :). One way they do so is by manipulating the information their people get, claiming bullshit like “the current ecosystem is wild and polluted, it cannot offer our economy anything anymore!” and “the plants are dangerous and will kill you if you ever come into contact with them, and they have infected virtually every living thing around!”. Another is by not educating their population about “the Outside”, treating it like a sort of taboo. Therefore, they refuse to explain, or hush those who try to, the actual danger of the plants and how to deal with them (they do have many weaknesses, after all).

But the people in this world have yet another nasty problem. In this AU there are beings believed to be anthropomorphic demons due to their pointy ears, fangs, and sometimes strange behaviour. But in fact, these people are descendants of the dragons that once lived in these nations, but their origins were forgotten as the world gradually lost touch with its spirituality and ancestry, and now those who were once revered for their “godlike attributes” (yes, they kinda worshipped dragons, I mean, who wouldn’t) are today facing discrimination. However, even though they aren’t considered exactly “people”, the pure humans are still kind of afraid of them, so they usually choose the subtler kind of racism. In most governments, “Demons” get less job opportunities and are denied high positions, can be freely banned from any establishment, and face unmatched prejudice just for existing, especially those with a stronger blood relation with their ancestry. In the city, they are treated as less than even the robots (nindroids of all kinds), who are treated like any other respected social group by now because they have grown so advanced that most of them are just like humans in metal armour. In fact, many of them are mechanics, who are held in high esteem for making the many bionic implants for the humans.

And all of that combined made the RGB siblings (who are obviously demons, especially Lloyd), decide never to leave the Outside, where they grew up, to go live in the city.

When they were younger, Kai and Nya adopted Lloyd when they found him asleep in a box in the middle of nowhere, after having been abandoned themselves a few years earlier. This time, though, their dynamic in this AU is more of a team than Kai being a mom to them both like he always is, so even if Kai feels the most responsible for being the eldest sibling, they rely on each other almost equally. They fend off the plants that threaten them with fire (no they do not have powers, but Kai uses a fucking flamethrower because it’s Kai), and usually live on whatever they can find in the wild: mostly by making traps for game, fishing in the cleaner river and occasionally foraging edible plats (that’s more risky and they are more carnivorous anyway). Also, Nya routinely strolls through the ruins of the suburbs to collect scrap junk to turn as much of it as she can into useful trinkets, the rest of which she sells to Ed and Edna’s junkyard and their son, who is an amateur mechanic (wink wink but no shipping actually). Apart from that though, they usually sneak into the metropolis to cause a bit of mayhem here and there, which over time and on top of the fear over their species has earned them a reputation of People You Don't Wanna Mess With (or "Demons", more like). More than once they’ve even messed with a few of the gangs around town, which started sprouting up after the disaster, so overall their presence in the city is tolerated, but frowned upon. They manage to bypass the annoying border control thanks to the faulty assistant robot who raised them, named Echo (wink wink), who cannot perform any other social job (what he was made for) than to be the ferryman for those few people who decide to cross the wide moat and venture out into the Outside. They usually take a secret tunnel that a few smugglers managed to make, and the Guard do nothing because they do not give a fuck about demons anyway (in fact, only a few people know that their actual names aren’t Red, Blue and Green because nobody gives a fuck indeed). They do actually know a few people there, some of whom are also demons (like Mistake and Ronin), but especially as kids (which is when the story starts) they spend most of their time in the wild chilling and going on adventures :³.

(no the city and the plants are not named, we’re lazy :))

Anyway this is what I'll say for now. There's a lot more info, and hopefully drawings, coming. Hope you like this au because I love it for now ^^

(Btw let me know if you want me to make a post/reblog explaining the designs for the Rgb siblings and some info behind them)
