Lucky Patches (dot//hack AU)

I was talking about my nostalgic fave anime, .hack//SIGN, earlier and thought about how Patches is a lot like my problamatic fave, Sora, from that show. Patches just slides nicely into the world. I mean, he he is literally a video game character lol.

I can imagine Patches as a mischevious Long Arm (or Lord Paritsan, in R:2) with an insiatiable love for tricking naive newcomers, CC Corp employees, Crimson Knight members and especially Rare Hunters. He does not belong to any guild, prefers to play solo (except when he is 'helping' others), and generally shirks the rules as he sees fit.

While his antics often gets players killed, he is not define himself as a PKer, although many refer to him as one. His tricks towards newcomers in particular are typically a lesson on greediness.

Patches periodically acts as a trader to players in the game, often 'giving away' bugged or hacked items that get them into trouble with the System Admins. Because of his hacking skill, he is knowledgable about secrets of The World that average players have no way of discovering, and able to make a getaway if needed, earning him the nickname 'Lucky Patches'.

He often seeks refuge in Net Slum to escape the authorities, setting up shop for the AI and fellow hackers that congregate there. Because of this, he is an acquaintence of Helba.

Patches's tricking and hacking antics, as well as his rougish charm, have earned him a certain level of infamy in The World. He often sends cryptic posts to the Message Board, usually involving a rare item, designed to dupe Rare Hunters, whom he despises primarily due to an incident which occured when he was a new player.

Offline, Patches is a youngish man of few means whose primary hobby is playing The World, as well as drinking and karaoke.

"Der Mann mit Schatten ist auf der Such' nach dem Abenddrachen verreist und kommt noch nicht zurück. Helba, Königin von Schatten stellt schließlich das Heer auf. Apeiron, König von Licht, bewinkt. Die verfluchte Welle ist gemeinsam zu bekämpfen." -- "Yet to return, the shadowed one who quests for the Twilight Dragon Rumbles the dark harth. And Helba, Queen of the Dark, has finally raised her army. Apeiron, King of Light, beckons. At the base the rainbow do they meet Against the abominable Wave, together they fight."

Most shocking thing when I played the original .hack games like a year and a half ago (other than how good they were) was the realization that Helba’s VA is the same lady who sings all the Silent Hill songs. Like genuinely was shook by that connection. Was not expecting the person with the godtier voice who sings the vast majority of the Silent Hill songs to also be an anime VA

What Is Fenugreek and How Is It Used? ~ https://www.thespruceeats.com/helba-fenugreek-2394549

“Fenugreek is a clover-like plant from the botanical family Fabaceae, which also includes alfalfa, chickpeas and peanuts. Its dried or fresh leaves can be used as an herb, and its seeds are used as a spice. Both its seeds and leaves impart a flavor and aroma similar to maple syrup, as well as slight bitterness.” This ingredient is commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Chapter 3 of the IMOQ arc from .hack//G.U. Begins

English translation found here: [x]

[bonjourxrenae]

.hack//YGO Characters, Classes, and Archetypes (Part I)

(aka the main reasons why I rotate this AU in my brain every damn night)

I have decided to be particularly passionate about this AU because it works so well and Quill (@themadcaptain) and I have been bouncing ideas off of each other on and off about this...... the more we learn about The World and the .hack// franchise, the more I fall deeper into this idea of all these card game nerds playing a high-stakes mmo (instead of the usual high stakes card games)

Below the cut is what we think their mmo classes would be, or what characters they would be based on!

disclaimer: neither of us have played past the original ps2 games or watched past .hack//SIGN, so we have no idea what the newer classes are or how they would synergize with these characters;;; however all of this is subject to change once we eventually play the .hack//G.U. remaster

First of all, Ryou as a Wavemaster is the #1 reason this au even exists. I mean, look at these designs, they were MADE for him:

Left to Right: Kazu from .hack//Legend of the Twilight (manga); Elk from the .hack//Games; Tsukasa from .hack//SIGN

Just guys and gals with loose fitting clothing, silly hats, and a big staff. It's absolutely right up his alley, particularly what we've seen from small bits in the Monster World Arc and the Duelist Kingdom Arc:

Ryou just likes being a mage and a healer. He demands it, and who am I to tear him from that path?

He uses the handle Amane in The World - a tribute to his little sister :')

Speaking of light magic users, Yugi as a Twin Blade makes perfect sense. Twin Blades are among the most balanced classes in The World, with decent attack stat growth and magic stats... very much a "jack of all trades" kind of class. While they can't equip the strongest weapons/armor or use higher level magics, twin blades are absolutely pro at fast multi-hit attacks, and can exploit elemental weaknesses in enemies.

Yugi uses the handle Kameshi in The World, though I may change this to something more fitting later; it's written using the kanji 亀嗣 (is this how Japanese works?)

There are quite a few Twin Blade designs - beforehand, I only had knowledge of these two Twin Blade characters:

From Left to Right: Sora from .hack//SIGN; Kite from the .hack//Games

But then I saw Haseo from .hack//ROOTS and the .hack//G.U. games and... well...

I MEAN...

(Also, peep that eye wave design on Haseo's shoulder... it's an extremely plot-relevant wave design... but I'm just saying, that could very easily be mistaken at first glance for the udjat or wedjat eye.....)

And of course Atem would also have the same Twin Blade skin, but their wave designs would be mirrored... if you're familiar with the .hack//Games, he's playing a similar role as Helba, a mysterious hacker who helps out the main protagonists with the Data Bugs in the system, as well as with facing off against the main antagonist.

(In some early concept art below, I gave him a snake mask - most of The World is rooted in Germanic myths, but I wanted to have this AU's version of The World have more Egyptian mythos, so Atem's avatar is known as Apophis.)

(In this early concept art I gave him an avatar similar to Sora's, but I've decided against that after all.)

(Debatable.)

I've also talked a bit about Kaiba in my last post, and I am absolutely slapping him firmly into the role of Balmung - one of the most famous players in The World and the one who has been combating the Data Bugs alone, refusing to work with the hackers who have been fighting the common enemy. I imagine his avatar looks incredibly similar to Balmung's as well, although I don't think he would be a Blademaster... or maybe he would? I picture him as a Long Arm, mostly because it gives me Dragoon vibes, but idk!

Staying firmly with the Egyptian myth theming, his handle is Set (of the Azure Eyes).

Pictured: Balmung of the Azure Skies, as he appears in the .hack//XXXX manga and concept art from the .hack//Games

Helba and Balmung have some fun dialogue at the start of the .hack//Games... so I'd imagine things would be a lot snarkier between Apophis and Set...

I really don't go to Prideshipping School but UHHHHHHH I may have to start???

And uhhh... wow this post got really long... I'll continue with the others in a future post! If you managed to stick around and read all this - thank you for indulging me! :') <3

Helba of the .Hack// series.

[aut2imagineart]

These are two of the previous unposted art pieces I made for my friend @ironbar36 that I'm sharing for this year's #genieuary on Deviantart.  This is a genie version of Helba from .hack//Sign (really, that's what the anime is called) with her magic carpet. I'm going to posting one more genie related piece so I'm caught up. As always comments and critiques are welcome.
