Thoughts chewing at my brain about a Keroro AU where it’s like an alignment swap only instead it’s a Frog Swap, meaning the humans are Keronians now and the Keronians are humans. Maybe college students but maybe late high school I guess?

The Platoon:

Kamomo Gunsou / Sergeant Kamomo comes from a high-ranking military family and she’s the one in charge of her platoon! Like Momoka, she still has the split personalities; her energy bursts from her hands rather than her mouth or eyes and she can use it as an aura in a physical fight. She’s still a tadpole but not-so-secretly hopes that won’t be true for long.

Nasusu Gouchou / Corporal Nasusu is the weapons specialist and she’s good at basically all kinds of athletics and combat, as well as being Fuyuyu’s big sister of course. She’s a lot like Natsumi in most ways, except stick her in an unhealthy military society and hand her guns.

Fuyuyu Nitouhei / Private Second Class Fuyuyu is the newest member of the platoon, and Nasusu is both worried about him but can also vouch for him. Nervous but tries to be more serious so he doesn’t let anyone down, but like Fuyuki, he really still loves Weird Unexplained Shit and is also excited about meeting an alien... on the planet they’re invading. Since he’s not really a fighter or the tech guy, he actually has more of a role of tactician and (unofficially, later) diplomat. He’s also still a tadpole.

Yukiki Heichou / Lance Corporal Yukiki is the former assassin, because all assassins and former assassins who aren’t like Captain rank are Lance Corporals I guess. Like Koyuki, she’s bright, enthusiastic, and curious; like Dororo, she’ll get taken in by the ninja village and take to it like a duck to water, but she’ll really badly want to share it with the rest of her platoon friends.

Tsumimi Souchou / Sergeant Major Tsumimi doesn’t have the bad attitude of another Sergeant Major we could name but he’s super laid back and no one knows what to do with him so he gets assigned under Kamomo despite outranking her. Like Saburo, he’s too smart for his own good and takes everything in stride, even getting excited about shit he shouldn’t be... and is kind of a mischievous guy with a slight jerkish streak! Their tech guy, natch.

The other Keronians:

Akiki Chui, either a current or former First Lieutenant, and Nasusu and Fuyuyu’s mother. Might fill Garuru’s role? Or might just visit sometimes if retired!

Haruru Juni, a current or former Warrent Officer, and Nasusu and Fuyuyu’s father. Might still be current and that’s why he’s off on some assignment?

Kinana, the family’s retired grandmother (Akiki’s mother)!

Baii Taisa / Colonel Baii, Kamomo’s father.

Okaka Chuusa / Lieutenant Colonel Okaka, Kamomo’s mother.

Palulu, that family’s butler.

Mukuku Heichou / Lance Corporal Mukuku, Yukiki’s old friend and fellow assassin and basically a big sister figure to her. Was honestly relieved when Yukiki surpassed her.

The other aliens:

Angol Asami. Takes Amano Moa’s appearance to make people lower their guard. Like Mois, she came to destroy Earth, but she winds up friends with the Platoon and Moa instead.

Alisa and Nebula are just always Alisa and Nebula. Nothin changin there.

The humans (these are all working names...):

Hinata Keiro, like Keroro, is a bit too lackadaisical and unconcerned. He’s either in high school and supposed to be studying for college entrance exams, or he’s a ronin who really needs to be trying hard again next year. He loves the internet and TV and, of course, Gunpla! And he gets some ridiculous ideas that he somehow manages to drag his friends into, even though Tangirou and Dororo, having known him since elementary school, should really know better. Usually called Keiro or Keiro-kun.

Takeda Tangirou is a more laid-back Giroro, at least by a bit. He wasn’t military and has never touched a gun, which is much better for him tbh. He’s great at sports and is a long-time member of Judo Club. Again, either still in high school, or in his case going to the local university; if the former, he hopes to get into the same school his older brother Garouichi. Might be roommates with Keiro? Usually called Giro or Giro-kun.

Azumaya Dororo, formerly named Reishi, is a childhood friend of Keiro and Giro, though years spent in a nearby ninja village distanced them somewhat after elementary school; his mother sent him to stay with family there in hopes that the forest and the training would help his poor health, and it did, enough that he took on a name for the forest rather than his old one. Like in canon, he’s calm and adores nature, and is still a bit traumatized from being Keiro’s childhood friend, but still loves his friends fiercely. Usually called Dororo now, but sometimes called Doro-kun; formerly called Reishi or Rei-kun.

Nishizawa Tamaki is like Tamama but without the energy beam attacks; he does still have the split personalities, and is a shockingly good fighter when in his violent side comes out. Loves sweets and kinda loves Keiro’s chaotic plans, too. Even if the others are all college-aged, he’s probably still a senior in high school; if they’re high-school aged he might be just entering high school or still in his final year of middle school. Has a huge crush on Keiro the moment he meets him. Usually called Tama or Tama-chan.

Tsukishima Kuruo is Kururu as a human, which as we’ve already established, means he’s a lazy hacker weirdgirl (goes by Kurumi online). Spends most of his time in his room, which he makes shit in but also spends a lot of time online and also playing video games in. Loves curry, naturally. Bleaches his hair but then does fucking nothing else with it. Has decided if he’s going to get dragged into Keiro’s ridiculousness he’s gonna make it even more ridiculous as often as possible, partly because he’s kind of desperately bored. Has had no friends until recently. Usually called Kuru or Kuru-kun; Tsumimi starts calling him Kuru-chan early on. It’s just a wave thing.

Amano Moa is basically Mois but a normal human; she’s a complete sweetheart and not at all a ditz the way some people might assume at first, very bright and competent. A shockingly naturally skilled fighter when it comes down to it, too.

Takeda Garouichi is Giro’s older brother and just an all-around cool and impressive guy. Usually called Garou or Garou-san.

Kano Rumiko is, like Pururu, a childhood friend of Keiro, Giro, and Dororo! She’s also either a nursing student now or wants to go into nursing. Usually called Rumiko-chan, but her childhood friends call her Ru-chan.

Goto Taru is a year younger than Tamaki, whom he calls Tama-senpai. Like Taruru, he’s also a little weirdo.

Shinoda Kotoro is either a bright but egotistical high school student or he’s like, twelve. No in-between. Like Tororo, he can be a bit of a brat and get carried away, and cries somewhat easily. Usually called Toro-kun.

Hayashi Zorusuke is a much less single-mindedly vengeful Zoruru and I don’t know what else to do with this guy. Has prosthetics but I’m not sure why yet. Usually called Zoru or Zoru-san or sometimes Zoru-kun.

The pronouns I used for all of the above are their canon ones, but let’s be real, if I were writing this for real I’d be transing a lot of genders. Yukiki at least would be she/they and Dororo would be she/her and Doro-chan (the name change was totally part of a trans thing on top of everything else), Garou might be they/them, Zoru might also, Keiro would probably use all kinda pronouns. Tsumimi and Kuru can go on a gender journey over the course of the story, that could be fun.
