I was going through songs on my old phone and came upon a banger that made me wonder, what if Jesse met Lukas and the other Ocelots at Hadrian’s games as contestants. I loved this episode and the concept so much but wasn’t super fond of the characters that came with, so it’s a little bit of a character swap (but ofc with Jesskas included)

To anyone interested, here are the simple designs:

I imagine Lukas being very skilled and confident, a good person at heart just like he is but with the influence of his friends, plus the desire to win and go home - he’s a little bit cocky but nonetheless incredibly charming. Lukas finds the idea of new contestants (Jesse, Petra, Ivor) rather exciting and interesting, and takes special interest in their leader - Jesse. He likes challenges and believes there’s no one who will beat him and his team, hence the name - Rival AU - having someone on his level to compete against would prove rather exhilarating to Lukas and definitely motivate him to show just how good he is (plus it’s the song name hehe)

On the other hand:

Aiden is Aiden. Rude, arrogant, hot-headed, however he is a good at the games (even if he isn’t the greatest team player at times). He is definitely someone people don’t like fighting against due to his offensive fighting style. He, unlike Lukas, hates the newcomers and gets super jealous seeing Lukas getting along with them, repeatedly tries to eliminate Jesse as he sees him as a threat in both the games and his relationship.

A little bonus design comparison next to each other, with their height difference:

I was drawing a little comic for myself with this au before but needed the designs and got way too invested in this whole thing so might as well share it all hahah

Once I’m done with the comic I’ll gladly post it and to anyone reading this, thank you for so much for your attention! :>
