i mentioned a while ago making a rotai au but i haven’t read rotai in like forever and the idea is still half baked so i’m just gonna throw out everything i have so far and either come up with more ideas bit by bit or take suggestions if u guys have any !! sorry for inactivity in the mc/mcd community btw social anxiety’s been beating my ass lmao
SO. au time. everything in the very beginning of the book is the same, but when archie gets to the top of that weird mountain and finds the orb he’s like “oh those are terrible vibes no thanks” and just Leaves (once the spiders are gone ofc). yes i did just make up this whole au bc i thought it would be funny how can u tell. anyways, no longer having a tribe, he just kinda runs off into the woods and does his own thing. we love a foraging king. also strong independent archie supremacy (i’ve always headcanoned him as an adult and a pretty competent one at that, just wanna play around w/ the idea of him being left alone for once). does he have funky animal friends? what weapons does he use? has he figured out agriculture? who knows! certainly not i
someone else gets the orb. is it thord, is a walda, is it goddamn karl, i have no idea. either way bad things happen and must be stopped but archie doesn’t really care he’s just chilling
at some point this random hero comes across him and, being the weirdo she is, is like “oh look. a lone illager. youre my friend now :)”. if anyone remembers me posting violet in the discord server this is her BUT i wanna change her name bc there’s already a lot of cool canon and fanon characters w/ v names and i don’t wanna like. copy anyone lmao. anyways she’s like “surely u have to be lonely out here :(“ and he’s like “no actually i’m pretty alright” and she’s like “nah. we’re leaving :)” and that’s that. he does go back to his weird little treehouse or whatever eventually i just like the idea of him getting dragged around against his will to help fight against evil or whatever LMAO. definitely the most helpful of the protags here in terms of combat skills (again. competent archie supremacy. they never said he was bad at fighting he just didn’t like it), but the whole time he’s just like “yes i am going to teach you how to use a sword and yes i am going to hate every second of it. die” (they are besties)
third protag is yumi bc i like her. hero drags archie to the closest village she can find, archie nearly gets sent into the stratosphere by an iron golem, and yumi comes out like “sorry broski my bad lol”. somehow she ends up agreeing to help them idk why i haven’t thought abt it that much (she is insanely difficult for me to write i still do not even have a consistent design for her). “isn’t violence against, like, villager code or whatever?” “well, technically, I’M not the one doing the violence-” *gestures vaguely to army of iron golems*
anyways that’s pretty much it. world’s bravest villager, illager who Does Not Want To Be Here, and a hero who has no clue what she’s doing, bless her soul
if anyone has suggestions lemme know lol. also i wanna make it more fantasy-ish bc i love fantasy so dw abt sticking to canon worldbuilding. this is all for funsies i have zero prior storytelling experience lmao

Guardian Au random stuff and headcanons.
I have this au cause I can't wait to know what happens to Mcdungeons and rotai characters post game,
(also the aesthetic is heavily inspired by Howl's Moving Castle and Rapunzel (Disney)
Archie
• His jewels and his blue cape are made of some part of his old Arch-Illager's outfit.
• the scar on his chest is just a little souvenir from the Heart of Ender.
• around 27-33 years old.
• left-handed.
• extrovert forced to be alone.
• during the adventure, he is really anxious to leave the Stronghold without supervision but is too excited to go outside.
• knows Yumi hold a grudge against him but he still makes scenarios in his head where she forgives him and become friends again.
• Archie (accidentally) gave the same nicknames as Karl to the other Heroes.
Valorie
• her iconic braids got burned during a bad ancient hunt in the nether.
• right-handed.
• When she came at the Stronghold to meet Archie, she actually had the task to kill him but couldn't do so cause he is way too adorable.
• Still friend with the other Heroes, they don't appear in the au tho, (I should make a design for them.??)
• Karl left the continent for a while after he got scared as hell by the rise of the Arch-Illager, he lives in another one but come back way after the end of my au.
Yumi
• Devastated and inconsolable after the Arch-Illager destroyed her village, her life and hurt the people living there. (No for real canon Archie why did you abandon her!!?!)
• unlike Valorie and Thord, she chose to cut her hair short.
• she used to have a crush on Archie, but it faded due to what he did of course
• The tavern where she now lives is named the Black Bart, her three pillagers friends are the owner.
Thord
• The new Chief of the illager tribe. But unfortunately few people know as the whole tribe got scattered because of the Arch-Illager, many patrols got send in other part of the continent. (only some in the main continent knows)
• he defeated Walda in a fight as she is too old now, she is doomed to be his sidekick, she is also very powerful too.

Sharing this comic about young narra arriving in the continent, discovering villagers for the first time and ignoring emerald is their money.

____more theory stuff below___(tw nudity)______
I love this theory some of us have of Archie who could have turned into an "enderman beast" the more he is corrupted by the orb.
in rotai, Archie often ask if someone ever used the orb of dominance before him and the orb doesn't deny it. So what if this old holder of the orb is therefore the Heart of Ender or someone that fused with the Heart, once a normal person but turned into a monster because of the orb.
In the game, the narrator is quit suspicious with the incomprehensible sounds in the obsidian tower, or the distorted voice in the stronghold, I wouldn't be surprised if they're actually the heart trying to trap us (but fails) (honestly this isn't my personal headcanon but it's cool)

(it's ok they're naked because it's like their spirit or something)
Not about the narrator but I have little headcanons about the previous holder of the orb before Archie (I just refuse to believe Archie is the first to ever hold the orb!):
• rotai/the game never mention a war or some random dictator with an orb that terrorised the continent just like what happens with Archie, they were probably inefficient for the orb's plans, or too nice, lazy or discreet.
• I believe they might have been a simple villager, as they lacked hostility compared to an illager, then it's why the orb's next choice was one (I know Archie is far from being dangerous for an illager and is litteraly a sweet angel, but he has been raised as one with raids etc and often shows violent actions)
• the stronghold is probably the most enormous thing the previous holder created with the help of the orb, they were probably claiming being a king/queen or something (just like the Arch-Illager) as we can see thrones and other cool stuff, and it also made a nice little place for the orb's portal to its world.
I hope I am missing a lot of things so I can continue to investigate like the nerd I am
