CFV VRMMORPG AU
Alright strap in lads we are going for a ride.
What’s this AU about?
in case you don’t know, VRMMORPG stands for Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game
it's basically a fully immersive MMO you play with a headset on, where you can create an avatar and customize your appearance
think like SAO (but don't, because that anime is rubbish and I can do better)
The whole AU is slice-of-life turned mystery story set in the near future, with a bit of a futuristic cyberpunk vibe.
Most of the characters don't know each other in person and meet in the titular VRMMORPG that we will just call "Vanguard" to keep it simple.
There is a lot of identity porn stuff, because I love that stuff.
It centers the G cast, but of course the OG cast are there as mentor figures and they drive a lot of the plot too. The G kids are around 16, and the OG cast are 20 or older.
Not to spoil, but the company creating Vanguard, Suzugamori Inc., is kinds shady, and people related to the game start going missing at some point...
The Cast
Shion Kiba - basically the main character, though there are multiple POVs. It's the first time he feels like he fits in, since he's under a lot of pressure in his day-to-day life as a rich heir, going to a prestigious private school. He forms a team/guild with Tokoha and Chrono when he meets them. At some point, Shion encounters a mysterious legendary player named "Crimson Reaper" who becomes his mentor. Though Tokoha and Chrono don't believe he exists for the longest time. Shion starts getting involved int he conspiracy behind the game when his beloved "Crimson" goes missing.
Chrono Shindou - when he first logs into the game, it glitches and Chrono randomly unlocks a brand new class and avatar that has not been released to the public yet. This causes quite a stir in the game, since he actually didn't hack anything, so the game admins decide to just let him keep the class and just involve him in promotions, much to the chagrin of admin Ibuki. Chrono turns out to be a natural at the game as well. And now he can finally make some real friends!
Tokoha Anjou - a veteran player who feels very pressured to succeed since her older brother is a famous player and streamer who actually got hired by the company behind Vanguard to become part of the promotional team. She created a new account to try one of the newer clans and make a name for herself. When she realizes that neither Shion nor Chrono know who she is, she begins to open up to them and becomes willing to form a team with them, but only if they aim for the very top.
Notes
I'm still trying to figure out everyone's pseudonyms! Not everyone's avatar cards make good screen names...
Mamoru is definitely "Blademaster". Chrono will be "Chronovisor". Ibuki will probably be "Alter Ego". And I'm thinking "BlossomBlight" for Tokoha? You get the vibe.
There's some fun mystery stuff. We got hackers, we got some undercover police, we got teenagers solving internet conspiracies on their own...
Also: I will create a very elaborate system for the game classes based on the CFV units, clans and archetypes. This will dramatically increase the workload for this AU. I have no self-restraint!

One thing that will always be funny is how Aichi shoots up in height like a tree in between season 2 and 3 but is still relatively smol
Using Kourin for comparison
Look at him. He’s as smol as Taiyou and Tokoha.
Also something I thought about is that the biggest missed opportunity in G was not seeing Aichi get hammered. He’s 21 let him drink. I would pay money to see Aichi drunkenly explaining the plot of season 1-4 to the G cast.

Eye practice!!
I wanted to make my eye rendering a bit more complex, so I practiced with my favorite blonde, Shion!
I really like how this turned out!

Well this chapter was long to write last month since I have no experience writing an actual cardfight but here is Chrono and Tsurugi have a full cardfight (did skip forward a bit to speed things up a little tbh. Also yes Tokoha and Shion are there basically to bully Chrono for not taking it easy considering how well they developed into strong fighters at the end of G)
