u/Fancy-Back-9712

Tow days ago I posted the the story start of my au. Absolute indie cross inspired by (obviously) DC's absolute universe and today I'll explain the lore of this au and the changes I made

First up instead of focus on characters going ro different worlds they instead all end up in one big world called the "paradise" (working on the name) it is a land filled with seas cities forest Battlefields and more but it also brings areas from various indie game universes to the paradise

Second the Rogues aren't the bad guys in this au there more so survivors who rebelled agenist Charlotte who in this au instead of trying to destroy the world she trys eliminate various worlds and take many of there areas to create her perfect world she's also marked with the core allowing her to create metallic armies while the Rogues and drones hide in there safe heaven through various portals Charlotte's army can't enter but they

The safe heaven acts as a well...safe heaven a pocket dimension that protects the various people from Charlotte's army it's a min town taking heavy inspiration from playcare and sweet streets from poppy playtime except everything else is real like grass instead of being fake the. The people have to go out on expeditions to get food and reasurrces to survive. The Rogues act as leaders and have allot more personality taking inseperation from the little personality traits we see from the originals and there designs are more robotic/Android ish and there drone heads match more of there exposed heads

Unithor is the main leader that manages the safe heaven and it's reasorces he is a kind person on the inside but pretty cold on the outside he also want revenge on Charlotte and I very determined of that trying to kill Charlotte's generals which are nightmare clones of Charlotte and trys to find a way to breach Charlotte and is very reckless and takes heavy risks to destroy Charlotte no matter what he is the most offensive of the group wields various weapons like an axe that switchs to a hammer a staff that can change into a spear or flail or a sword where he can split it into tow swords he also has a gun that shoots various bullets mimicking various guns like machine guns grenade bombs flamethrower etc. he is also very durable and has to giant hands that he can perry with

Gamemaster is the youngest of the group he mostly go's on expeditions on his own thanks to his transformations that can change him from power focus speed focus or stealth focus each with different abilities fiting for his current power he is cocky reckless and sometimes immature but despite that he does care allot of his people and he go's alone simply to not see them get hurt and he doesn't like unithor for bringing there people to a death mission just to kill Charlotte

Godoftrix (I butchered he's name) is the smartest of the group he's mostly a survivalist using various crafts to create small but effective traps with his crafting power as he isn't much of a fighter he is pretty egotistical chatty and critical but he is quite smart with a great memory where can remember the smallest of details has vision that can detect characters states appearances personality power etc. it also has a danger meter and a can create strategies based on the information he father's from his foes and friends. He's also a pretty caring figure and is the architect of the safe heaven and a better manager of safe heaven then unithor

Medusera is the more mysterious of the group she is a calm kind and mysterious person she is also less talketive not that she can't talk but she mostly uses gesters and sign languages she is a nature person that loves gardening pick up flowers and decorating but she mostly go's out of the safe heaven as she likes to spend most of her time in the forest which has the others concern also she has can create a time stop bubble can heal with her becon eye and she has poison ivy ESC plant abilities as well as creating small creatures as simler to godoftrix she is less offensive and more supportive

Unreal in this au is half nightmare form and is a giant creature that can change from a centipede with a human body on top to a moth and his head is much more inline with the exposed head having a more realistic eye and sharper teeth that he can bite and being in nightmare form he is very durable a little more then unithor and has claws that slashes with great slashing and piercing power he can also spit hot pink lava create shock waves as he is pretty destructive but can also absorb nightmare energy potential freeing someone from the nightmare form. His personality is that he is mostly an animal a pet to unithor as he a company him the most sometime he act as a goofy pet sometimes he act as an animalistic beast

For the Rogues designs:

Unithor: body having more armor like an armored military soldier more bulky then the others and his legs are much less bulky and has heavy hands that look like gloves

Gamemaster: looking more adventurous with glove like hands boots and still has his scarf his power form has him more resemble like Ryu being more heavy with tougher gloves and a Ryu shirt speed makes him looks more like metal Sonic and stealth makes him more like a camo soldier

Godoftrix: a little more taller then his original counter part has a cross of an engineer clothes with a scientist coat and has a backpack that also that stores various items and resources also doubles as a jet back

Medusera: has more wild life clothes and has a snake tail instead of legs or a dress that can change into a spider legs or remove them for wings in her back and

Unreal: as I explained a centipede creature with a humanoid body that can shape shift into various insect forms like moths beetles etc.

Third the portal will be less story important as this au focus more on the nightmare with nightmare energy it is used as an energy tool to power up electronics is used for godoftrix create various tools (like the zombie blood crafting from resident evil Requiem) but the nightmare energy is also kind of an infection is touched you get a power boost that makes you stronger but it makes you more hostile and agressive then the person should be and can but it can ran out however absorbing too much of this energy will have it consume the user into a nightmare. The nightmare forms works differently then in the original instead using every possible feat from the character's respective world it amplify the character's already exiting powers tools and feats through there memories making them stronger then they should be it can even give someone the power of another based on the relationship/history with that said character the nightmare cannot fly but can float and jump multiple times they have can create portals and are immune to all damages but all of this comes at the cost of there minds making them animalistic and unaware of there situation or who they are before but they can be freed weather by damaging them or the nightmare abusing there powers it slowly overheats with it making it clear through cracks that slowly appears based on either situation happening on the nightmare until there freed but it also comes at the cost they still get more hostile but are also weaker a CNA get nightmares and see illusions that aren't there for about a week but it can be removed through a cure that godoftrix can make

Fourth the Indie cast. When entering the paradise something happens to them first up there designs are changed to be more rougher darker and edgier to not only fit with this grim world but also be a manifestation of there fears also there powers are changed a bit from four categories they get nerfed with limited resources like with shovel knight and his magic meter or Cuphead and his bottles. They can get buffed but have no a side effect wither be Madeline struggling with her anxiety abilites or the drifter suffering from his curse at the cost of great power third are moves that are simply reworked but simler like the vessel using the tendrils that the void has as offensive and mobility powers and then there are some that are buffed like Springtrap having tools and having war themed animatronics. Third is the the characters themselves and what I changed from them shovel knight Cuphead vessel and more are the same but Madeline did not complete her journey and didn't yet climb a mountain making her still anxious. And the drifter actually died in the end of hyper light drifter but brought back from the dead by the paradise and he has this issue of being brought back to life from the dead and ask wether that being a good thing or a bad thing as well as the return of the curse.

Lastly is the story structure cause I imagine it having a three act structure the first act will be focus around the first and nature second will be the war and Charlotte's military army and act 3 will focus on Charlotte herself and the core act 1's indie cast will consist of shovel knight Cuphead Madeleine the vessel drifter and glamrock Freddy but I will add new indie characters that may not appear in indie cross such as the dryad from terraria as she fit with the nature theme of act 1 and is actually kind of a character compare to the terrarian and Mr Theodore Peterson from hello neighbor just because he could be a good mini antagonist that turns ally when act 2 comes also because he appeared in the Cuphead montage scene also the teams will be a little different shovel knight will still be with Cuphead but the drifter is with glamrock Freddy as not only drifter's therapist and keeping his mental sanity but also that the beheaded was going into the fnaf universe about to meet frisk and Springtrap before game master shut it in the original series

And that's all sorry if it's long but I want or introduce allot of the elements in my absolute au of Indie cross so I hope you enjoy it
