#i want to use xer in a video game that i want to develop. xe has three major companions with two of them in a semi-complete lineart state

[tykogi-tower]

"Like an owl from the shadow of the night, swooping into the day, bringing its celestial knowledge of the night with it". Soliza is an angel from the moon, hailing from the city of Asgard.  Xe is proficient in electricity-based magic, and xer weapon of choice is a a scythe.  When xe swings it, sparks of electricity is released from it. Xe also is pretty good with electrical and software engineering, and also likes to sell bottles filled with lunar succulents and gems as a hobby.

That ML AU/Rewrite...

So, I have thought up of characters (some will be from the show, some will be by me)! These aren't all of the characters, just the main ones!

Note: The kids are now near in their late teens, instead of in their early-teens. I haven't gotten to draw them yet, so descriptions are going to be my best friend until the time being. (/lh)

I have changed some characteristics about the characters, or changed them entirely (sorry about that).

The character descriptions are under the cut

If there's something here that you're confused about, or something that I got wrong, please tell me! I'll gladly explain it or fix it!

In General / Notes In General

The main crew aren't neurotypical (or aren't very likely to be read as neurotypical). Some aren't diagnosed, some are diagnosed. Mainly basing it on my experiences and some experiences of others.

I changed Marinette's name to Marianne, and I also changed her first surname (Dupain) to something more Italian (Panettiere). Her second surname "Cheng" stayed the same.

Note about Marinette's/Marianne's first surname change: I kept the meaning as close as possible (Dupain meaning "bread", and Panettiere meaning "baker"), but I thought it'd be more interesting to have more of her Italian heritage show.

I'm basing Marianne's anxiety off of my experiences, and I'll do research when needed.

Felix's backstory and family are going to be changed, so art will probably look different than canon.

Note: The above statement also applies to Adrien. The Blanc's are going to be changed the most.

Note about Note: The Blanc's were originally the Agreste's! I thought it'd be some fun irony for their surname to be "Blanc" :)

Felix and Adrien are twins. Adrien is older by a few minutes.

Note: Felix and Adrien get their natural hair from their mom (she was a redhead, while their father is blonde), but only Adrien got her eyes (her eyes were naturally brown).

I'm somewhat on the fence about Adrien's miraculous being the turtle (I couldn't think of anything else, and I wanted Felix to have the black cat miraculous). If you guys have any ideas that fit Adrien more, I'll gladly hear/read them!

Ena is supposed to be read as Filipino-French, and Zain is supposed to be read as mixed (only ones that are purely solid are Egyptian, Iraqi, and Irish)

Marianne Panettiere-Cheng

Age: 17

Alias: Ladybug (ladybug miraculous)

Gender: Demigirl

Pronouns: She/Her

Appearance: Brown eyes (sort of grayish-brown), dark brown hair (dark enough to look black), and light-tannish skin.

Into cosplay, which is how she began sewing. Most of her outfits are based off of video game characters.

Often keeps her hair down as a civilian, but puts it up as Ladybug.

Her clumsiness often gets her into trouble. (ex. the time she nearly punched her crush in the face by accident)

Her anxiety and her need to know everything in detail are what keep her from doing things like standing up for herself, talking to new people, and refusing to say "no".

Felix Blanc

(technically it's a mix between PV!Felix and Adrien, but the name suggests it's purely Felix)

Age: 16 (and 3/4)

Alias: Chat Noire (black cat miraculous)

Gender: Non-binary

Pronouns: He/Him, They/Them (uses mostly They/Them as Chat Noire)

Appearance: Blue and green (top of eye green, bottom of eye blue), strawberry blonde hair (usually dyed a similar color to their father's hair), and pale skin.

Whenever he gets the chance, he plays rhythm games for fun. Rhythm games actually started as a common interest between him and Ladybug!

They won't admit it, but they love love songs. They personally vibe with Let's Fall in Love for the Night by FINNEAS.

Note: Ladybug has found them singing along to a random love song at the top of their lungs, once.

They try to mess up as much as possible, since they're never given the chance in civilian mode. This has caused them to nearly give away their identity to Ladybug twice.

He doesn't understand social cues that well (a combination of being socially isolated and being on the Autism Spectrum), and sometimes comes off as rude or annoying to others.

Adrien Blanc

(I loved him too much to leave him out, but he's getting more development like everyone else)

Age: 16 (and 3/4)

Alias: Tortue (turtle miraculous)

Gender: Male

Pronouns: He/Him

Appearance: Hazel, auburn strawberry blonde hair (usually dyed a similar color to their father's hair), and (slightly tanned) pale skin.

He has a lot of "hobbies", due to his father's scheduling. He has shown an independent interest in painting and poetry, though!

He doesn't like that his hair is dyed to be extremely blonde. It's annoying, and he likes his natural hair.

Note: After some convincing, he was given permission to grow his hair out until it was entirely natural.

He's too awkward for his own good, since he is mainly trying to mimic TV show protagonists. Felix usually has to drag him out of trouble, since he couldn't say "no" to something.

Most of the time, he can't see the red flags in any form of relationship (be it friendly or romantic). TV shows are a good place to start with blame, but social isolation also does that to you.

Jimena "Ena" Del Rosario

Age: 17

Alias: Renard Volant (fox miraculous)

Gender: Non-binary

Pronouns: Xe/Xer

Appearance: Dark brown eyes (nearly black), dark brown hair, and dark skin.

Like the original Alya, xe wants to be a journalist one day. Xe is also good at photography, and is working on a scrapbook!

Xe has a hat that xe holds onto for dear life. It was xer dad's hat :)

Note: Only Marianne is allowed to touch the hat, at first. It's a friendship thing!

Xe sometimes hyperfocuses on certain things, which often gets xer into trouble. With akuma attacks, doing this becomes more dangerous.

Xer only friend is Marianne at first, but xe (eventually) befriends Adrien. Felix is iffy for xer, but the both of them don't hate each other, there's just an odd rivalry for something.

Zain Hussein

Age: 16 (nearly 17, according to them)

Alias: ??? (not known if they'll receive a miraculous)

Gender: Genderfluid

Pronouns: All Pronouns

Appearance: Dark brown eyes, black hair, and dark-tannish skin.

Like the original Nino, ve's into the arts (mostly music and theater/film). He wants to be in a musical, one day.

She has a set of headphones that no one is allowed to touch.

Note: Ce also has stim toys that no one is allowed to touch, but people mainly ask about the headphones.

Most of the time, ze tunes out the world. This has sometimes led to Zain being snapped out of a song by Felix, and then freaking out for a few seconds.

Fe's slightly overdramatic, and has a tendency to wave fer arms around. This tendency has led to accidentally slapping people (*cough* Felix *cough*) in the face.
