IM FINALLY DONE

[natto-axolotl]

oh my god what are your brawlhalla hcs :star_struck:

OK (CRACKS KNUCKLES)

in general most of the legends SEEM to be doing Pretty Alright with the whole "being dead and in an afterlife for the foreseeable future" thing but like. listen this is a fighting game where the prerequisite for their backstories is dying in battle i do not think an eternity in the afterlife will help.

val is still actively trying to understand everything about her current predicament; how she, being a robot, is here in the first place, and when she was "born" so to speak

cross can do some mean coin tricks

half of artemis's face is being eaten away by a miniature black hole as a side effect of her powers

via Magical Afterlife Logic everyone can somehow understand each other but via osmosis they've all kind of absorbed phrases from other languages into their lexicon

aside from the notably Concerning legends, certain legends like scarlet, fait and vector valhalla also keeps tabs on because while not being malevolent, they are aware of things they shouldn't be (fait and Everything Ever) or Time Travel (scarlet and vector)

ada plays tech support to over 40 people while artemis, val, barraza, isaiah, sentinel and vector laugh on the sidelines

caspian has Daddy issues (and by that i mean he needs to fucking. go get some help your father was not supposed to treat you like that)

canon-ish but orion uses they/he!!!

hattori has two scars on her right arm that haven't healed, one is a knife scar from the initial demon blood transfusion and the other is a burn from using her powers. on a good day it's barely noticeable, but if she strains herself it gets worse

no one here is cishet. do you really expect these dead people who have been un the afterlife for around 100 years to be straight and cisgender

everyone who died to get in have scars of what killed them that come and go seemingly at random. some are fine (roland only has a fist-shaped welt on his chest, ada is missing some flesh from nanobots but is otherwise fine, val has not found any physical indication of how she "died" yet) while others are more grisly (diana has necrosis scars in the shape of handprints on her back and legs, yumiko and kaya have noticeably stiffer and discolored extremeties from frostbite, dusk has scars all over from the fangwild crumpling in on itself like a can with him in it)

nix and artemis are currently engaged in a legal battle with odin and co. due to the two of them wanting someone else in the tournament gone for good. this has been going on ever since they came here and is showing no sign of stopping

val is banned from game night due to Being A Robot and kicking everyone's ass at 200cc mario kart. however in luck based games she is allowed back.

val can run doom

semicanon but an ingame fanbase for the tournament is very real and active. alongside fantasy sports, sponsorships and merch they also have stan twitter communities and fancams. none of these words are in the bible

the legends get sent prototypes for their merch

transgender mordex. no i will not elaborate

Many thanks to @spoopedmyself for having provided to initial links, but to help spread the Journey to the West agenda a bit more I decided to make my own post hosting them as well! So here’s links to free downloadable pdfs of all 4 volumes of the Anthony C. Yu translation of Journey to the West. It’s still held up as the most accurate English translation, is a really fun read, and his introduction and footnotes provide a LOT of information on everything from the historical and religious context of the story to the meaning behind puns an English-speaking audience wouldn’t get. Also because it’s a University of Chicago Press publication you can be pretty confident that the accuracy of his work has been checked and triple-checked by people who know what they’re doing. A great read all around!
