Hello and welcome, friends, monks, dragons, Heylin lords, to Xiaolin Reanimated!
Xiaolin Showdown is celebrating its' 20th Anniversary in 2023; to celebrate, we're reanimating the first episode! Xiaolin is a small fandom, so we may not be able to animate the whole thing, but let's get as many people on board as possible!
To keep track of interest, we've created this form. Filling out this form also acts as an application to join the project. Applicants will be notified in late November of their acceptance. This gives us an entire year to work on the project!
More information can be found within the form itself, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
I redesigned Shadow from my previous XS post. Was itching to draw her brothers, Boris and Orchid so here they are!
If you guys can guess, they are redesigned characters from Chronicles! I hated the show ngl but in my AU, I get to redo their appearances and personalities yay!
Shadow: Born from a pearl inside an oyster made from a broken ribcage of Chase and Omi's healing magic. Feral lizard instincts, creepy manners that aren't too bad and a passionate female warrior. Has a soft spot for women (Had a crush on Kimiko before growing out of it and found someone else.). Aspires to be a skilled Heylin warrior like her dad, Chase. She's tsundere with a soft side for Papa Omi even if she tries to deny it when she's older.
Boris: Born from a peach shared by Chase and Omi when they took a bite of the fruit. The fruit came from Barkley Le Bois, an ancient French Xiaolin warrior turned into an enchanted peach tree by Gigi before the Heylin Seed was sealed. A good boi, clumsy, reluctant martial artist, doesn't want to fight, prefers to study botany and cooking. Still has the element of wood, only difference he ACTUALLY USES IT unlike canon XC. Taught by his grandpa Barkley whom he's very close with. Papa Omi's baby boy.
Orchid: Hatched from an egg laid by Chase in his beast form when he unknowingly ingested a certain potion dropped into his Lao Meng Long soup by Shadow and Boris when they were kind of tricked by Jack Spicer to search something in their dad's lair. Named after the serum responsible for his conception. Orchid is Chase in appearance and Jack in personality minus the cowardice. Has certain parts of XC Chase's personality with none of the creepy incest. Flamboyant and has a knack of inventing like his revered mentor, Jack much to his father, Chase's displeasure.
Notes:
1.) Chase and Omi had their firstborn, Shadow when Omi got into his 20's.
2.) All three kids were born accidentally through either both Xiaolin and/or Heylin magic, not MPreg.
Xiaolin Showdown, Chronicles and the characters belong to Christy Hui and Warner Kids.
Boris/Ping Pong and Orchid's designs along with this AU are mine.
Ok so first of all technically nothing in xs clashes with family members added in xc but I ignore xc so
Also it kinda
Kimiko is only child and Clay only got one sister
Kimiko's mother died when Kimiko was little
Omi’s father is one of warriors who has been changer into Chase’s cats
Raimundo feels gulilty not only about his turn to dark side, but also that his return to light was for quite selfish reasons.
Raimundo still has power Wuya gave him but he has no idea and they are dormnant
Raimundo lived in Tubarao, but spent every holiday in Rio d Janeiro, since some of his uncles and aunts live there
He was a troublemakes and a bit of bully. And a bit of vandal, which got him arrested once
Raimundo had seven sibling before joining the temple, one other was born after he joined the temple. He has older brother, three older sister, two younger sisters and two younger brothers. He has pretty bad relationship with his older brother
...Ok so first of all sorry for asnwering it like months later (...you probably won’t even see this...) and having it short but I kpet thinking ‘Is this a headcanon or idea for fanfiction?’ and still probably some sound like this and also I tried to think of more headcanons for someone other than Raimundo but...I have not been succesful in that
you’ve probably either completely forgotten this or never watched it bc who could blame you but in the xc finale kimiko’s baby dragon zippy lou makes guinea pig squeaks when he’s shrunken down (as in they literally just used guinea pig noises for him) and i think that’s adorable
Throughout Showdown and Chronicles, we have seen Raimundo had a crush on Kimiko and we see Kimiko show affection towards him throughout Chronicles. Is it possible that in the future where Xiaolin returns, that will we see both Raimundo and Kimiko to develop romantic feelings for each other and fell in love for real? Its quite a possibility.
It is, but given Japanese culture, Kimiko's Westernized behavior, and how she handled the boys in Chronicles, very unlikely. She showed little to no affection (outside of platonic friendship) towards Rai in XC. Rai has more suggestive interactions with Jack throughout XC.
Teams with token females seldom work well when the female is romantically involved with one of the male team members. It usually devolves into someone being jealous and cliched infighting. Since when is Xiaolin cliched?
Plus, given Hui's interest in feminism, it's likely that she wants to write more stories about a female fighting to get, keep, and prove her place beside her male counterparts. I would argue that Hui's work outside of the Xiaolin world further supports this possibility.
Also, I personally dislike Rai and don't want him to be happy. 😅
he killed how many monks only to turn them into his jungle cats? he's not that redeemable.
Oh you’re adorable. Genuinely. I’ve studied Chase and this series and I hate to inform you of this but Chase never killed those monks. He defeated them in battle and gave them immortality. This is referenced in Princess Kaila of the Thousand Layer Mountain (E10, XC), when Chase turned Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay and Ping Pong into Cat Warriors, except for Omi. He did this after defeating them in battle -- but he did not kill them.
Chase sought out strong warriors to test himself against and when they lost offered them a place at his side as one of his mighty jungle cats. Good try to start a fight with me however.
