#Submas Paladins

[ace-trainguys]

Old Art October - this is from May '22, I had some thoughts about putting Ingo and Emmet into SINoALICE.

Every character in SINoALICE is a twisted fairytale, and the woman here - the Little Mermaid - is no different. She just loves tragedies - the more miserable, the better.

Transcript under the cut

Little Mermaid: You have lost all memories of your home, except of a man who looks like you?

Ingo: That is an accurate assessment, yes.

Little Mermaid: (how miserable!)

Little Mermaid: What if you recover your memories upon finding that man's body?

Ingo: That... I sincerely hope that does not happ-

Little Mermaid: Oh! What if, due to a misunderstanding, the two of you fight? And it is not until he's dying on your spear, mouthing your name, that you remember?

Little Mermaid: What a tragedy that would be...

DnD submas O_o

...I'm curious

be curious no longer, anon! despite the fact that it took me like ten days to answer this! i'm holding myself back from writing an MLA-formatted essay describing the entire au, so i'll just give you the basics (which will still probably be long, whoops).

the general idea of this au is that Ingo, Emmet, Elesa, and other relevant pokémon characters exist in a DND-themed fantasy world (not that they are playing a DND session and these are their characters. important distinction).

classwise, Ingo is (currently) a human eloquence bard (i'm being wishiwashi about it), and Emmet is a human echo knight fighter (because double battles!); they are both also paladins with the (made-up) oath of safety due to their conviction to uphold safety checks being so strong that it gave them powers.

also, their pokémon-shaped weapons are more than just weapons! in this world, pokémon are magical creatures that can take on a weapon form. they can exist naturally, but can also be made (for example, Ingo made Chandelure as a Litwick by enchanting a candle with some of his soul essence). some other characters' species/classes (just the basics, still workin on them): Elesa – tiefling, glamour bard/evocation wizard(?) Volo – human/elf, divine soul sorcerer Irida – winter eladrin, circle of the land druid Adaman – summer eladrin, mmmmonk. maybe. he's hard to pin down Protag/Akarei – human, peace domain cleric Drayden – dragonborn, fighter?

(unfinished or old art, but it's all i got of 'em at the moment) the Main Story of the au, the one i'm actually writing a fic about, is that on one of the boys' outings investigating some strange occurrences, a rift opens up and Ingo gets sucked inside. Emmet doesn't have the skillset to figure out where he went, so he searches for someone who does– the sorcerer, Volo. they don't travel together 24/7, but Volo does stick around more or less as they figure out where Ingo went and how to get there. turns out, Ingo was sucked into the Feywild (Hisui), and since the Feywild is not kind to mortal memories, he forgot everything after being in there for a few hours with no magical protections. he was eventually found by the Pearl Clan, and becomes warlock to Sneasler in order to give him some way to defend himself (bc he forgot all his levels in his other classes lol). that's where i'm gonna stop myself, because i'm never going to finish the fic if i get into what actually happens in it. but thank you for asking!! i love this au!! i will talk abut it more (threat) if you have any other questions!!!!!

DnD Doodle Dump ✨

I have been playing paladin Gateau in a recent campaign I’m in, the one with the beautiful submas looking gods, and it’s been fun playing a grouch old man. Also I did give this Gateau an Ingo; he’s dead. The god looks like his dead wife 💀 (hence his softness towards indris)

Here's an AU Idea for you all that I dumped into R0's discord a little earlier while I write more demon posts Characters have had massive personality shifts because it's my AU and I get to play with my blorbos

Tags: Very much unwanted arranged marriage, bodice...ripper??, dumb medieval marriage beliefs and problems, Religious and political corruption/intrigue, medieval-fantasy setting. Weird blend of Unovan characters and also Hisuian characters. CW: Unpleasant Non-con/descriptions of unwanted physical contact, Kamado is an absolute bastard, AFAB Reader for this one, And lots of corruption in institutions of power, and mentions/threats of abuse; Vague Religious Assholery as well. If I write a fic for this, it will prob be gen neutral but I made the reader a Lady for this one- However, In this AU it doesn't matter if you're a noble daughter or a noble son or a noble's child, if you've been betrothed by the Church™ then woe be unto you unless you actually like your spouse.

A medeival-esque time period in the pokemon world- In a far off, fairy tale region...

Reader/Darling is a daughter of a noble household, who, for terrible reasons beyond her control, has become the betrothed of the celebrated general Kamado, a distinguished commander in the King's Army.

Kamado may be nice among company, but alone or among his lower ranking men, he's an absolutely horrible, terrible, vile old man- Far older than you, with a penchant for his mistresses and a hundred more vices that would take too long to list- He's quick to anger and slow to calm, taking his frustrations out on those weaker than him.

And of course, you don't want to marry this man. Aside from being much older than you, you've learned of his cruel nature from the very first day you met him- The strangely crude way he spoke to you, the way he tried to isolate you- Separate you from your family and talk to you alone- The way he grabbed your wrist when you refused to look him in the eye- You never wanted to speak to such a horrid man, ever again! And yet- Here you are.

The reasons darling has become betrothed to this general is several-fold. It suits many a powerful person very well- Except for you, of course!

The King offered a reward to Kamado for his exemplary services in battle for the kingdom. He's looked at you many times, but you're not just some common woman he can take for a mistress or a night- No, he'll have to buy you. And so he asks the King to give him you as his prize.

Your (probably not very nice) parents want the prestige of Commander Kamado's name- as well as a claim for their future generations on his title and lands and wealth.

And not only that, but the Church™ has agreed most happily to the marriage- The Sages of the Church™, after all, are very loyal to the King and- Well, he's ordered them to condone it, despite the significant age difference and your own protests. Now, Kamado is aware as well that you don't wish to wed him- He watched you rise in anger when the King and your father declared your betrothal. And he knows for a fact it's been a... problem, before- with young brides and grooms who do not wish to be wed "against their will" or whatever it was that- They'd often take the alliance of pokemon and abscond into the night with some vagabond, or on the wings of their beastly companions-

So instead, Kamado asks the Church™ to ensure that, for the Year and a Day you must wait to be married, that one, you stay "pure" before your marriage to him- And two, that you don't abscond into the night with the Gardener's son or your maid or something like that, and vanish.

And so, the Church™ has a wonderful solution! Enter the two finest paladins in all the land, armed with their beautiful, deadly swords at their sides, to guard you night and day: Sir Ingo and Sir Emmet!

As paladins, they've taken oaths of chastity- And having been raised by the church since they were children, the Sages have no fear that they would break their vows- Or even have interest in a mere little noble like yourself.

And at first, the twin paladins are more than okay to fulfill their holy duties- You're obviously just afraid of marriage, that is alright! Yes, Kamado is... older than you, but- Surely, he'll make a fine husband for you. Won't he?

The paladins try to comfort you, but every night- As they stand guard outside your door, they can hear you sob. More and more frequently as the days pass by, and your marriage to Kamado grows closer and closer.

And they watch, feeling an ever creeping sensation of disgust every time they must follow out of sight when you are with Kamado- Who pulls at your face and demands a kiss from you, and dares to raise his hand against you if you pull away too much- Both the twins can't believe what they're seeing. Kamado, after all, is a celebrated hero of the land! He shouldn't act this way towards the one he has chosen as his future bride! Ingo shudders to think what Kamado would do if they did not accidentally make themselves known- Or use their own pokemon to interrupt the old bastard grabbing you.

They silently hope that maybe- Maybe it's just something they don't understand, not being permitted to court any young ladies themselves, given that they're Paladins- Until they have to interact with the old man alone on several occasions- Or worse, they see his mistresses, his drinking, the cruel way he treats his servants and underlings around his castle- And the way he refers to you, no better than a piece of meat, when he thinks he's in company of those with a similar mindset-

They can't stand for this! They must help you. Kamado is not worthy of being your husband! Not in a million years would he ever deserve such a kind, beautiful, wonderful, lovely Lady...

But still, they speak with your parents- Who are aware of your objections, are aware of Kamado's nature- But what does it matter? Marry him, and the wedding gift he'll make to them will be more than enough to keep your family's estate running for several years. Besides, why should they turn down Kamado now? It's not like there's any other suitors lining up to take your hand.

Realizing the futility of the conversation they turn to their beloved Church™- The bastion of righteousness, morality, and courage they've drawn from their whole lives-

And the Church threatens to relieve them of their duties if they allow anymore of their personal feelings to get in the way. If they cannot guard you without getting in the way of your betrothal, then the Sages will just lock you up in the Inner Sanctum of the Church until the day of your wedding- At which point you'll be so happy to see the Sun again you'll be more than willing to listen to anything Kamado says, if he threatens you with confinement again.

Ingo and Emmet's hearts break as they watch you become more and more reclusive- You seclude yourself in your family's library, quietly reading some old fairy tales- Books of innocent youths held captive by evil wizards and salamences, saved by daring heroes on the back of Rapidash and Mudsdales, armed with blessings from legendary pokemon-

Could they not become the heroes you so quietly, desperately yearn for...? Though the twins realize you don't like, or necessarily trust them- Because, they know now, they aren't guarding you.

They're keeping you imprisoned.

So they will do their best, over the remainder of the Year and a Day, to befriend you- To defy their own teachings and their orders- To love you, to win your heart- And free you from your confines.

Other notes:

Ingo and Emmet both have Aegislash- Their noble, royal swords. However, these Aegislash are different than run-of-the-mill ones. Aegislash looks different depending on the blade it's possessed- And Emmet's Aegislash is a beautiful, white-silver blade with a gorgeous, white silver shield- inlaid with sapphires and a beautiful white stone set in the hilt, and it's "arms" are made of a strange white silk.

Ingo's Aegislash is black-iron, and hooked- The shield it bears is heavier than most, and the fabric making up it's arms is thicker, but very plush. It is inlaid with rubies and the hilt has a strange, black stone upon it...

Long ago, Ingo and Emmet were two soldier boys, recruited into the army primarily as a means to keep themselves fed- Where they came from exactly, they couldn't even tell you if they could remember! Just that, when they were free, they would explore some of the forgotten reaches of the King's Castle... And one day found an old, sealed room-

Inside were two blades, long slumbering- Long held captive by a line of Kings they'd deemed Unworthy- Only to awaken to two brave young youths- Who held the spirits they longed to serve. Armed with the King's Blades, No one in living memory knows the true meaning of these two ancient swords- Except the current King. His own daughters had failed to wake up the swords- And his failure of a son- The freak who had a heart only for books and pokemon- Hadn't even been permitted to try.

None of them had been able to awaken the blades that only served those worthy of being Kings. King Ghetsis was furious- His beloved beautiful daughters- Praised as Incarnations of the Goddesses by the Sages of the Church™- Had failed to awaken the ancient Swords, as did so many of his ancestors prior- But these two strange twins, bumpkins from some old mining town, had?

Ingo and Emmet also don't know the meaning of the blades they carry, but they certainly make the two a force to be reckoned with.

Also Headcanon about Aegislash- When it's being wielded by an actual human being, they have a different form they take on, as opposed to their sword or shield form- Their Wielded Forme. Sword in one hand, Shield in another- Their ribbons become armored guards for their holder, or they'll take their sword or their shield and wield it for their master, expertly protecting them from even a hoard of assailants.

Ghetsis's Children are Anthea and Concordia- Absolutely terrible people who bear no resemblance to BW Anthea and Concordia who think they deserve the throne because they want it. And N is here as well; He's a bookworm, and a lover of pokemon and truly wants what's best for his Kingdom, but Ghetsis despises him for his pure and truly righteous heart. If he'd been given the opportunity, the legendary blades would've most likely responded to him, as well- Or at least, one of them would...

As Paladins, both Ingo and Emmet are exceptionally "morally upright" and both very courteous- Selfless, courageous, and slightly naive as to more sinister happenings in the world. Ghetsis realized they'd been recognized as "King Material" by the Royal Blades and handed them over to the Church™, controlled by his Sages, to make the twins into loyal puppets for his own purposes.

Other other notes:

Emmet is actually the better swordsmen than Ingo is; That is not to say he is violent, or uses his sword more frequently- He's just very competitive. His left-handedness can make him a surprising opponent for some people, which can give him an edge in fighting. Rarely. He quite adores taking care of baby pokemon, as well as training younger paladins- He's a popular sparring partner.

Ingo is the more diplomatic of the brothers- And an expert in shield fighting. He will have his enemies either knocked flat or already bashed in their heads with the heavy iron shield of this dear Aegislash- Though the hooked, curved blade is certainly nothing to scoff at- It's considerably heavier than Emmet's white-silver blade, and thus is more unwieldy- But the power behind each strike dents and cracks plate armor, even without Aegislash providing any spectral power to it's blows. A clean hit to an enemy is almost always lethal- And Ingo would rather not kill his opponents most of the time. He likes plants- And especially flowers, despite his seemingly dark demeanor.

May we get some spoilers for dnd submas reunion? If not, is it possible to compare Warlock Ingo's abilities vs Paladin Ingo's abilities?

HMMMM reunion spoilers....how about an out-of-context quote from the fic?

“‘This place’ is my home,” Ingo says, and his voice drips with a venom that Emmet has never heard directed at him, not even during their worst arguments.

have fun with that!

as for Paladin Ingo vs Warlock Ingo!!

the main difference is, of course, the source of their powers– Paladin Ingo gets them from his oath of upholding safety checks, and Warlock Ingo gets his from his connection to Sneasler.

so Paladin Ingo has a lot of protective spells, a lot of wards and shields, healing abilities, etc. he shares many of these with Emmet since they have the same oath and class in this case. actual DND spells that would be relevant here are things like Shield of Faith, Cure Wounds, Warding Bond, ironically Protection from Poison, things like that. he also knows Compelled Duel as a parallel to single battles hehe

Warlock Ingo, on the other hand, is more focused on protecting by attacking, i.e. being stronger than the potential threat to drive it away. of course he's got some form of Eldritch Blast, it's a warlock rite of passage, but also things like Poison Spray, True Strike, and Frostbite. he's got access to some of Sneasler's moves like Dire Claw and Close Combat, but due to her "higher being" status they're more suped-up than the typical pokémon move and akin to a full spell. both Paladin and Warlock also have access to some of the movepool of their pokémon partners/weapons, as is the case for anyone with a bonded pokémon; so Paladin Ingo has a focus on fire, ghost, and dragon abilities, and Warlock Ingo can use Gliscor's ground and flying-type moves. and yes he does figure out a way to use some version of Earthquake in both classes ;)

I LOVE the new au concept!!!

I am glad! :) Ingo and Emmet deserve to not just be eldritch abominations they should get to be cool sword wielding paladins as well

Also they should make their great escape with darling on a train bound out of the Kingdom, thus sealing their fate to become Paladin-Train-Conductors

[yanban-san]

Paladin-Train-Conductors Paladin Train Conductors is something I have never thought of before, but now I can't imagine my life without it. The idea of our knights in shinning armor saving us on a iron 'horse' is downright amazing.

They finally decide to do the absconding and of course it must be by train. And guess what Anon the train is now called the Iron Horse congrats on giving us a name for it!

The sages are desperately trying to locate you and where are you? In a private compartment on a train with two very suspicious paladins mercenaries who have you sandwiched between them because they finally have you, their beautiful, lovely sweetheart-!

The twins adore you and in the privacy of the cart, having discarded their identities as holy knights, they're both shy, nervous- They keep kissing your hands and holding them, refusing to let go. The thought of doing much more makes them turn red in the face-

And to be honest, having fled with you on the last train away from the capital, away from your captors- Free at long, long last and away from the clutches of the (probably now dead) Commander Kamado...

They just want to be close to you. Their swords keeping guard as their masters finally get to rest a little bit- Holding you against them in a big train car cuddle pile.
