Brainstorm. I want to know if you think he's good at Minecraft.
Brainstorm:
Shitfucked Priorities:
Food: 0/5. You can't convince me he cares about it.
Sleep: 0/5. You CANNOT convince me he cares about it.
Sex: 0/5.
Pals: 5/5. Chromedome. Enough said.
Love: 5/5. Quark. Enough said!
War: 4/5. His lifelong profession, but not his top priority, except in the way it kind of is (see Quark).
Kill: 0/5. He doesn't wanna do it! Himself. Facilitating it is fine.
Crying: 0/5. Not a crier, and even if he was he's too busy for it.
Minecraft Skills
PVP: 0/5. He extends his personal pacifism to video games. Yes he’s okay with making weapons to kill people in real life yes he refuses to kill people in Minecraft.
PVE: 0/5. He’s also just really bad at combat. Will die to zombies because he forgets to close doors.
Redstone: 5/5. A genius. A monster.
Building: 4/5. Would be 5/5, but he gets bored halfway through too much. The buildings he makes are honestly so incomprehensible they kind of fail at being buildings but they’re really cool.
Parkour: 2/5. Pretty passable. Has to be to navigate his creations when he’s not in Creative Mode (rare).
Speedrunning: 0/5. Simply has no interest. Could potentially be good at it if he tried, but he probably never will.
Grinds: Yes. Will tune out during disciplinary meetings to strip mine.
Creative Mode: Yes. Pretty much only plays survival with other people. Still probably uses cheats most of the time when he does.
Hardcore: No.
Modded In: Yes. You KNOW he has thirty mods minimum running at all times.
Bad Internet: No. He never has bad internet. He will make his own wi-fi if need be, or just steal yours if that’s easier.
Cracked Account: Yes. Absolutely yes.
Animal Crossing Personality: Smug
Amount of animatics in my head for him: 3
Hours of sleep he gets daily*: Not Enough
Kill Count: Somewhere from 1–1,000,000,000
Hot—Lukewarm Scale: Hot.
Sunshine—Moon Scale: In the middle; kind of neither, kind of both.
Distant—in ur face rn Scale: Far extreme on both ends. “Wouldn’t that just put him in the middle” no.
Crewmate—Imposter Scale: Imposter. I mean. Come on.
Edible—Poisonous Scale: Poisonous. That Dead Universe contamination cannot be good for you. Was almost eaten by sparkeaters twice, but it’s unknown whether or not he would’ve given them indigestion either time.
Gamer—Old Man Scale: Gamer.
Lives in Tree—Money Bags Scale: Doesn’t understand money, but I don’t think he’s necessarily poor.
Fruit—Meaty Scale: Neither? I don’t know.
Intelligent—Braindead: He’s the smartest person ever in the whole universe, duh.
Saltine—Ghost Pepper: Probably closer to Ghost Pepper?
Puppet: No.
Puppeteer: Yes.
Nagging Fears: No.
Dead: Yes. He’s fine now, though.
Dead Friend: Yes. A lot of them.
Dead Parents: No. He doesn’t have parents.
No Parents: Yes. He doesn’t have parents.
Hated by Moms: No.
Hated by All: No.
Hated by ME: NO.
Haunted: Yes. See Quark, and also all his best friend’s dead husbands.
Doctor: No. I don’t think that’s how titles work for Cybertronians, and regardless, he never went to school.
NEEDS Therapy: Yes.
Will Never Get Therapy: Yes. Probably for the best, considering the state of Cybertronian therapy.
Not LGBT: No.
20 Exes: No. Wrong guy!
Marketable: Yes. Transformers is a toy commercial.
Broken Beyond Repair: No. Just very, very, messed up.
Kills to Survive: No (Technically yes, but most of the time no, at least).
Kills to Thrive: No. He doesn’t want to! Will make weapons of mass destruction for fun, though.

denki!kuroba has plagued my mind for the past 24 hours so it's time to drop their design & lore. ( bonus + more lore under the cut! )
( ya'll knew i had to find a way to shoehorn kurokara into this au SOMEHOW. )
while they don't meet during the events of six idol statues of taboo, kuroha does eventually get to meet chorosuke's recently reunited brothers afterwards. strangely enough, it seems that karatsugu knows who they are.
kuroha's life before the accident was much like the one kuroba lives ; having attended college for horticulture and working at their grandfather's floral shop. karatsugu and kuroha had known each other for a long time, having become friends in high school and staying quite close into adulthood. because of this, he was absolutely devastated when they suddenly disappeared a year and a half ago while on the way to visit family in yokohama. there were no reports of any crashes or deaths, no missing people found, nothing. it was as if they were spirited away, never to be heard of again.
upon learning this, kuroha is rather distraught. even though his face is so familiar to them, the past he recounts to them refuses to come back to them. something they had been keeping a secret from the others at the midorito estate was that they had begun to recollect some things, but what they remembered seemed more like strange dreams than any memories they should have. memories of traveling with mononoke, fighting in gang wars, fending off youkai, a life much like what karatsugu described but not exactly the same... and in all of those memories, the six same faces, so eerily similar yet unsettling different. the most prominent of them all being the faces just like karatsugu's.
they aren't sure why these strange memories are all they can recall, perhaps they're finally losing it, but with the brothers' help, kuroha might be able to figure out the true meaning behind them and even remember their life in this universe along the way.
ALSO, a quick explanation of denki!kuroba's name!
( fair warning : my understanding of japanese is very rudimentary so i may have made some mistakes in my translation or how names are written. please let me know if that's the case and i'll correct anything i've gotten wrong! )
kuroba / クロバ -> kuroha / 黒葉 ( くろは )
kuroba's name is written in katakana while kuroha's is written in kanji ( with furigana written in hiragana. )
kuroba's first name comes from クローバー ( kurōbā ) meaning clover. when the dakuten from バ ( ba ) is removed, it becomes ハ ( ha. ) the equivalent of ハ in hiragana is は, which is used in the furigana for kuroha's name. the kanji used for kuroha is 黒 ( kuro ) meaning black and 葉 ( ha ) meaning leaf.
yotsubana / 四つ花 ( ヨツバナ ) -> shinigusa / 死に草 ( しにグサ )
yotsubana comes from 四つ葉 ( yotsuba ) meaning four-leaved, notably used in the japanese for four-leaved clover / 四つ葉のクローバー ( yotsuba no kurōbā. ) the kanji for ba in youtsuba is swapped for 花 ( hana, ) which can be read has bana like in the surname tachibana. as a result, their surname can be read as " four flowers. "
the 四 ( yo ) from yotsubana, which can also be read as shi, becomes 死 ( shi, ) meaning death. the adverbializer に ( ni ) replaces つ ( tsu. ) the kanji for hana is replaced with 花 ( kusa, ) which is lifted from a synonym for clover, 詰草 ( tsumekusa. ) kusa becomes gusa as an instance of rendaku. their surname can be roughly read as " dead(ly) grass. "

"Look, I know that people on Earth are all about exotic specialized pets, like fennecs 'n shit, but… yeah, no; Polycus has some freaks. Just wait until I tell you about the people who thought it was a good idea to domesticate dragons.
"Thankfully, Neo Arcadia outlawed the owning of dragons. It felt a bit too squicky for a lot of people, especially considering drakes gain sapience pretty early in their life, when they aren't kept in a damn cage. Then they become powerful magical beings, learn to hone it... they're ancient beasts basically, not dogs.
"I've heard talks about it being brought to a similar point in regards to dogs and cats, but discussions and research eventually found out that the dog and cat beastfolk just happen to have similar enough ancestors to not only dogs and cats, but to each other as well, as opposed to literally being one of them like with dragons."

Mermay's over, but I'm not done with it! Anyway mermaid Tang Xuan Au where Tang Xuan is a octopus based mermaid and Li Ling is like a rich aristocrat. They meet when they are kids and become best friends then Tang Xuan goes away. So a few years down Li Ling is an adult and thinks he made it up till Tang Xuan shows up again. Lewis is also going to be in this idea (cause he deserves it) but I don't have an exact idea. I'm thinking sailor who was friends with Xuan and Ling when younger and also has to go away but stayed in contact with Tang Xuan
You put down Octupus!Merman!Tang Xuan, solid as octopus are know for their flexibility and adaptability, but I raise you WingedFish!merman!Tang Xuan, specifically Four Winged Flying Fish. Fast, sleek, [small,] and can perform decent feats of acrobatics when it launches itself out if the water and into the air. They use their ability to speed boost to outmanoeuvre predators, so they're agile too!
Lewis would be a legend, spread in multiple small towns and isolated villages, as a pirate who shows no mercy to other ships that cross his territory, his wrath setting ships ablaze with a terrifying plume of fire that the townsfolk can see clearly from the comforts of their beach. The screams of these tortured sailors travel with the wind from their emblazed ship, providing easy fodder to scare unruly children into doing their chores and listening to their elders.
In reality, Lewis is in a petty sibling cat-and-mousrle game with Bonnie, Lewis actually being part of the Western King's admiral fleet and trying to catch up to his Pirate!Sister before the Royal Navals find her. She smuggles herself onto pirate ships, in the hopes of joining a crew and going on bloody adventures, but since she's a bit too... Excitable... And aggressive... And bloodthirsty... The Royal Naval fleet always gets involved, and Lewis is almost always there to at least rangle her off the ship. He is fine with his sister's dreams, he just wishes they were a tad less violent so he didn't have to lose sleep over her potentially getting caught and sent to the gallows.
With that being said, Bonnie is a bit of a legend herself, among the pirates, as her figure holding a crude, hodge podge farming scythe in one hand and a ball of fire (actually a lit flask) in the other, is the omen before their ship explodes and they're left to die a slow death. She appears out of nowhere and vanishes just as abruptly too.
Then everything you said is happening between our two boys, with the added spice that Li Ling goes off to find his friend, with the idea to find this Legend and join his crew, so that there will be no rules stopping them and no eyes and ears reporting back to his family. Of course, he hops on his Best Friend's™ ship, Lewis, not realising that this man is the Legend and Lewis can only keep a poker face and act like this Fire Fist legend is someone he's met rather than himself.
