Feelin’ a fresh start since the last one is kinda cluttered

Let’s start with the cast lists

GGaD KagePro Deities:
 * Caedey — Opening Eyes
 * Nick/Niko — Awakening Eyes
 * Autumn — Retaining Eyes
 * Riri — Drawing Eyes
 * Millie — Concealing Eyes
 * Kanon — Stealing Eyes
 * Caspian — Deceiving Eyes
 * Chan — Favoring Eyes
 * MJ — Focusing Eyes
 * Time — Locking Eyes
 * Ishmael — Combining Eyes
 * Xenon — Clearing Eyes

Assassin Squad KagePro:
 * Kenneth(?) — Opening Eyes
 * Mirai — Awakening Eyes
 * Delphi(?) — Retaining Eyes
 * Damian — Drawing Eyes
 * Micah — Concealing Eyes
 * (?) — Stealing Eyes
 * (?) — Deceiving Eyes
 * Calidi — Favoring Eyes
 * (?) — Focusing Eyes
 * Clay — Locking Eyes, Combining Eyes
 * Hester — Clearing Eyes

A main difference in the stories:

The deities au hugs the original storyline very closely, minus a few tweaks to make things fit better

The Assassin Squad au ver. leaves most of the backstory untouched (since Xenon wrote a pretty intricate one that I don’t want to change) minus, again, tweaks to accommodate the KagePro-ness better

Also, I’ve been considering:

Silverskies fills in as the “Azami”; aka the original Medusa. Except she’s probably a deity instead of a Medusa; I’m thinking deity of snakes, wishes, and solitude (to tie back in with one of Silverskies’ domains) Xavier would fill the role of Tsukihiko and who their son is would depend on the version (Clay or Ishmael)

Silverskies would probably go by a different name. The reason Azami is called ‘Azami’ is because Tsukihiko looked at a thistle flower and went that’s you! Guarded, but incredibly beautiful. So he decided to call her Azami, since ‘azami’ is thistle in Japanese. What’s ‘thistle’ in Spanish?

About Azami!Silverskies’ design:

So initially, when I learned about Silverskies’ blindness through her rp posts, I imagined her wearing that blindfold that you see sometimes on justice deities. I’ve carried that over to KagePro Silverskies, but this time it’s to hide her numerous eyes. 11 in total, one for each snake. There are 12 snakes in the series, but Retaining Eyes was formed by Azami’s granddaughter and not Azami herself

Clearing Eyes would probably be the largest eye, maybe in the center of the cluster. He/it’s the only one that can communicate and have some semblance of free will, so it’s probably going to take prominence over the other eyes. I was thinking that all her extra eyes as well as her hair that can sorta move on it’s own will incite humans to attack her, since she’s weird and monstrous in appearance

When a snake leaves the haze, the eye that represented the snake will be put out. So when KagePro!Silverskies’ son opens up the heat haze with Combining Eyes, they’ll find their mother with all their eyes closed and bleeding

‘Cause by then, all of her snakes have been given away

I mentioned this on the other thread but I’m doing away with the whole extended lifespan thing. Silverskies is still immortal since she’s a goddess, but neither Ishmael or Clay get the perks of an extended life that Marry does

Context:

Azami marries Tsukihiko, and together they have a daughter, Shion. Shion meets a human dude too and also has a daughter; Marry. Shion is half Medusa, and Marry is 1/4 Medusa. From word of god/canon material we know that Marry ages physically one year for every 10 human years that pass. When Seto finds her and throughout the present time, she’s 140~ish years old.

The problem with the aging thing is that Clay/Ishmael can’t really grow up with the rest of the cast. It’s not actually as much of a problem for Ishmael since the Deities AU hugs the original story fairly tightly. However, for Clay, we have the whole training with Hester thing. We can’t have the rest of the ennead in their 20s and Clay barely looking 11

Silverskies is a goddess instead of a Medusa though so we can be a bit wonkier with the traits her kid inherits

Anyway gonna wrap up this post for now, gotta sleep. I’ll return with thoughts about the Yuukei Quartet: Caedey and Nick in particular
