#dsmp parahumans AU

[ariapmdeol]

Hello :D I just came across your parahuman (?) /Superpower au an hour ago and I've been reading it since then and all I can say is I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

I don't know if you are still doing it or no but If you do I was wondering: how did 5up get his power?

(I know this au is mainly focused on dsmp and your probably have many other things to care about, so it's fine if you don't answer this I was just kinda curious cus he's my comfort streamer :))

Anyways I hope you have a wonderful week, and please take care of yourself, hydrate, eat enough and get fresh air

- sended With lots and lots of love for you(platonicly) and your work

masterpost here! As always, this au is written by myself and @gavinom !!

HI SORRY THIS RESPONSE IS SO DELAYED i had to write out a good event for him! you're absolutely so sweet i hope you have a wonderful day!!

5up is absolutely an important character in this AU (although at this point, everyone has their own things going on lol)

so, to understand how characters get their powers, everything is focused around something called a trigger event: on the worst day of your life, when you're at your breaking point, a power can slip in. This power doesn't solve any of the problems, but is shaped by the events surrounding the event. tldr: trauma gives you superpowers but theres Other Stuff going on in the background

5up has a Stranger power: this means that his trigger event involved a threat to emotional and mental security or social or collective pressure, or unwanted attention (from the parahumans wiki).

So, pre-trigger!5up was already good at gathering information, breaking into places, and finding out details that he really REALLY has no business knowing. So, he decided to become an info broker. A casual one, nothing super serious or in depth. He treated it as like-- a fun side hobby where he'd sell information as a ""cape"" identity. HOWEVER. someone snitched on him, spilled the beans, and all of a sudden, one of the people who 5up had sold information on had decided that it's a good time for informant!5up to.... "retire". The reality of the situation, the whole 'oh god oh fuck this isnt fun anymore' combined with a desperate need to 'disappear' this "cape" identity before things escalate too far, led him to trigger with a Stranger power.

This is a shitpost for @ariapmdeol​ and my MCYT Worm/Parahumans AU! Masterpost can be found here, but the basic gist is that it’s an overly complicated superhero/villain AU!

[dsmpwormblog]

This is for the worm/dsmp AU written by @ariapmdeol! I’m a big Worm fan, and I’ve watched a decent amount of Dream smp content. I love thinking of powers for the trigger events of non-Worm characters, so I wanted to offer my interpretation of dsmp/worm powers, with more focus on the specific power mechanics and making it lore-accurate to Worm. Of course, I know you’re changing a lot of the deeper level canon stuff so if you don’t want to deep dive into exact power classifications and mechanisms and whatnot, then feel free to disregard this! I hope this doesn’t come off as judgmental or overly critical of anything.

Tubbo is drone tinker. Typically, a parahuman with the ability to summon or create minions in some way is triggering because of loneliness or isolation (not a hard and fast rule but I’m using the general guidelines for how triggers and power classifications usually fit together). Presuming the drones are primarily surveillance drones (I don’t remember if you specified, sorry!) that adds a thinker classification. A tinker classification has to be a crisis that happens over a while, at least a few weeks, and an isolation master trigger means that there is no one else to turn to. That means factoring Tommy out of this equation — if he’s there, then Tubbo has someone to turn to, and doesn’t trigger. It can’t be as simple as Tommy was on a trip or something, there has to be a real reason why Tubbo feels that he cannot approach Tommy about whatever this minimum-of-weeks-long-spanning trauma is during that time. My solution involves changing his trigger event a little. Basically, his new trigger event would be that he overhears Dream blackmailing Schlatt in costume, (though he doesn’t know Schlatt is working for Dream or anything — he just thinks he’s being threatened by the local villains because he’s in the PRT), and over the next few weeks, spirals into extreme anxiety and paranoia — if his uncle’s being threatened, maybe he’ll be next (hell, maybe he even specifically overhears Dream threatening to hurt Schlatt’s “little nephew”). He can’t confide in Tommy because he doesn’t even trust him. Eventually, he triggers with the ability to build up his drones — who he knows he can trust — to spy on Tommy and confirm he isn’t a villain. The staple of Worm powers is their irony, and the irony here is that Tubbo was so terrified and paranoid that someone was watching him or stalking him, and now he’s the one doing both. Eventually, he does go to Tommy and tell him about it, and Tommy encourages him to put on a costume and fight some crime.

Your trigger and power for Tommy already works really well, but for the sake of completion: Tubbo straps knives or bombs or something to his drones and he and Tommy go out to patrol. However, after the first few times, they run into someone tougher. They shouldn’t be powered, since Tommy’s trump power only empowers, implying that during his trigger event, any powers involved were positive associates for him. Maybe they’re much more experienced, maybe they’re armed and willing to kill a couple of teenagers, maybe they even have some low-level tinkertech bought from Sam or something. Either way, Tommy gets beaten, drones get broke, and Tubbo is on the verge of being killed when Tommy triggers. It’s literally a perfect, ironic power: Tommy empowers anyone he cares about that’s nearby him. Tubbo is empowered, and a million new ideas for tinkertech spring to mind. Unfortunately, that doesn’t help, seeing as he’s about to be killed, right now. Obviously, they make it out by the skin of their teeth; maybe them both passing out startled their opponent, maybe they recognized a trigger even and ran just in case, maybe the trigger attracted a hero like Captain Puffy, either way, they escape, and for that extra little bit of power irony, Tommy can’t turn his power off, and so will inevitably end up empowering Wilbur. This is already just spot on.

As for Wilbur himself, I think his power of illusions is cool, but it seems lacking in nuance a bit. I don’t know how much of the power mechanics you’re planning on changing, but presuming you’re keeping the basic idea of “entities give out powers to experiment with them”, illusions alone seems like something they would’ve tried already. Illusions would be a master/stranger power, so a power triggered from isolation or abandonment and a desire not to be noticed. Kinda contradictory? Well I propose we take it a step further and make it a breaker power, which happen through inherent contradiction in the triggeree. I can’t find the post you said this but I do remember you saying it at some point that Wilbur triggered out of frustration some time after Phil’s “funeral”. I think it would make sense if Wilbur, torn between his desire for Phil to return and his anger at Phil and wanting him to stay away to prove he doesn’t need him, triggers with the breaker power to turn into illusions. When he switches into illusion mode, he starts as an illusion of himself, but he can change and grow his illusion form into pretty much anything (although let’s impose a size limit so it’s not to overpowered, as well as some kind of cooldown before shifting back so he can’t just use it as phasing. Or maybe when he shifts back he always reappears where he was when he became an illusion?) This power also has the whole irony thing going: just like what he got mad at Phil for, he’s disappearing.

Onto the Cauldron people! Technoblade, I think, is fine as he is. Since case 53’s originate from shards not understanding how human biology works and just making random edits to it, I might make his mutations a bit more severe, and maybe impose some more debilitation from the voices in his head to balance him a little, but overall, very solid.

Phil’s power has kind of the same problem as Wilbur’s in that it’s kind of simplistic. It’s also odd since flight is a secondary power usually just tacked on to powersets by shards, not given as the only power. What I’d do is emphasize the secondary aspect of sensing air currents and upgrade it to some kind of full-grade air manipulation ability. To decide what kind, we have to picture his mindset just before he chugs the vial. I imagine that he’s feeling guilty. He obviously cared enough about Cauldron research to abandon his family for it, so he doubtless would feel bad about betraying them. But he also feels guilty for helping perpetuate their unwilling human experimentation. Flight works for that, as kind of a “rise above the guilt/disassociation” type thing, but he can’t escape the guilt. In his mind, it’s always dragging behind him, choking him. When Phil flies, he sucks the air out of an area, creating a vacuum in which no one can breathe, no one but himself, because his own case 53 mutations prevent him from needing oxygen. But even though he can survive in his vacuum, there’s no air entering or exiting his body, and he still naturally inhales and exhales, but nothing happens. Essentially, when he flies, it feels as if he’s having a perpetuate panic attack, choking and out of air. When he lands, the vacuum fills back in, but as long as he’s flying, trying to run from the guilt, it chokes him. Very ironic! And of course to add to the irony, he can’t fly with anyone or they’ll asphyxiate, so he couldn’t fly Wilbur or Tommy anywhere now even if he wanted to.

Ranboo’s power has to be teleportation, of course, but, like Phil and Wilbur, it needs to have something more to it. I’m thinking, make his split halves appearance literal — only one half exists in reality at a time. The other half is completely invisible, intangible, undetectable, etc. He can swap which half is “active” at any time, which to others looks like some kind of slow, color-changing teleportation. He has control over both halves always, no matter which half is “active” so he can position his inactive half for strategic teleports. Maybe each half has slightly different powers, too: one half is quick, agile, maneuverable, etc., the other is dense and durable. Some more limitations might need to be set for things like how far the inactive half can go from the active one, what happens when he falls asleep, etc. Also, to make sure his power can’t be used as an easy way to spy, let’s say the perception of the inactive half is completely warped, like a kind of fever dream. Ranboo can tell basically where he needs to appear and who’s nearby, but he can’t eavesdrop or just look at a computer passcodes or whatever. Or who knows? Maybe he can, but the trip back to reality scrambles his memory, so he only has a broken, fractured idea of what he saw while phased, similar to his enderwalk state.

That’s all I’ve got for now! I don’t know the trigger events of any of the others, so I don’t think I could think of a definitive power for them. Thanks for writing this AU, it is really cool, and I’m always glad to see more Worm content out there.

[beckyblah]

I've been scrolling through your blog a bit and fell in love with your superhero au can I have some crumbs for it please?

asdfgh i’m not sure what kind of crumbs you’re looking for, but sure! I basically had the idea for this AU back in late June when Tommy was talking about how he’s exactly like spiderman, and I thought, “yeah but the spiderman that all of NYC hates and has the police after him lol.” Which basically led me down the rabbit hole of like... thinking about how if the dsmp WERE in a Marvel or DC setting, that Dream - especially at the beginning - would be this sort of Lex Luthor, runs-the-government, fake-hero type guy. Which positions him as this well-funded, super-strong, government type guy and the bench trio as scrappy, anti-establishment kids who get slapped with a villain label. I’m definitely more western comic book inspired than I am like, BNHA inspired or something.

Weird world-building stuff is that I thought it would be very in-character for Dream to want to limit and control people’s abilities. So I think the SMP government has a pretty tight grasp on parahumans and lots of regulations on who can use their abilites and how. People need licenses, and need to be on a registry etc. Think Marvel’s Mutant Registration or Superhero Registration Act - especially in its comic form where it locks down anyone from using their powers. So the bench trio work in direct opposition that Act, and end up fighting muggers and murderers just as much as the end up robbing gas stations for spare cash. They don’t kill, but they also need to pay bills and make a buck somehow! In their spare time, they try to show the world just how two-faced the superhero system is. And Dream fucking despises that.

After that I really wanted to draw Sam and Ponk because I love them and I love their story very much! I think Ponk is this kind of lame and silly villain who robs banks for fun and convenience stores for their banger slushies but never kills anyone. Meanwhile Sam is part of this pseudo-military, homeland security sort of government operation that is SMP Superheroes and he’s on a hard downward spiral. He’s in charge of maintaining and operating the parahuman superprison, but is also expected to uphold parahuman laws. That’s why I gave him a more armored, riot-police sort of vibe! He’s the parahuman fuzz. He made Ponk’s first set of legs before he knew Ponk was a villain. When Ponk revealed himself, it caused a huge fight. Ponk ended up trying to prove how being a hero and being the warden was affecting Sam which, well, led to the arm situation.

I have plans for Phil, Niki, and Techno, who are major anti-government anarchists. Phil is a former hero from before Dream managed to get his fingers into every pie in the government. The bench trio and the syndicate end up clashing quite often because of their lack of regard for civilian and especially non-parahuman lives. I’m not sure what Wilbur is up to, but I think maybe L’Manburg was sort of this X-Men Genosha sort of thing where it was going to be a parahuman paradise and Wilbur was this Magneto-esque terrorist with good intentions and terrible execution. His downfall and vilification was what led Phil to join up with Techno and become an anarchist in the first place.

Oh my god this is getting so long and I’m hard rambling so I’m gonna stop now but huresih idk if I’ll ever do more with this because I’m not a writer but if I manage to wrangle my motivation, I’d love to make a few short comics in this AU.

#not art #ask #long post #I think? #oh my god im so sorry to ramble at you all #i'm making it all up as I go! #last thought: jack manifold... villain or hero? I argue that he is a government hero! #Quackity is also a tough one #hmmmmm #thoughts #idk #I know everyone makes Punz a mercenary but consider instead: government contractor lol #he knows who pays his bills and is steady work and also that he is in danger of being locked up in the Vault if he doesn't work for the #government #superhero AU #superpower au

MAY WE HEAR ABOUT THE DSMP PARAHUMANS AU

DSMP PARAHUMANS AU............. its not like uhh. super fleshed out b/c i can't be assed to write a multichapter fic BUT...

ctommy = fall guy. master 7+. can sense, manipulate, & multiply negative emotions & sensations in victims within a certain radius. this doesn't cause physical damage, only alters perception. once an individual is inflicted, the effect can last for an unspecified amount of time or until he removes it.

wilbur = absent. breaker/stranger. can shift into a noncorporeal, semi-translucent form made out of mist. when in this form, he's rendered unnoticable/forgettable. this effect only lasts as long as he's in that form + he can't stay in that form for longer than 30 minutes at a time.

tubbo = killswitch. impact blaster. energy pulses that affect primarily electronics & firearms. the smaller the radius the more powerful the effect is.

dream = grey cardinal. thinker 7+. intuition regarding desires and fears, as well as enhanced precognition on the battlefield.

#asks :) #parahumans au #THANK UU btw i lov htis au. im just gonna post this now BC i got other stuff i gotta do tonite <33

[ariapmdeol]

introducing @gavinom​ and I’s DSMP Parahuman AU!! This is a superpowers AU based on Worm, a web serial by wildbow!!

This is a superpowers AU,,, with a VERY complicated story. There are 3 or 4 main POV/plotlines:

Tommy and Tubbo’s plotline

Techno and Phil’s plotline

Dream’s plotline

Wilbur’s plotline

also niki’s plotline bc i appreciate her so much

they’re all very heavily interconnected! There’s a connection chart here, but there’s much more detailed explanations under the cut!

basic worldbuilding info: the city that this story focuses on (Dream SMP) is run by the Dream Team! They’re a group of villains who took over the city after it was being badly mismanaged by corrupt officials. Dream has connections to Cauldron (human experimentation group looking to create artificial powers). SBI + everyone else all live in this city! Powers are common and have a classification system shown below, and people with powers are called Capes! Capes are divided into Heroes, Villains, and Rogues (who are neither heroes or villains). People get powers when they experience an emotionally charged or traumatic event or events called a Trigger Event! These events shape what kind of power the cape gains!

SBI Tommy and Wilbur are both Philza’s biological kids! Philza is a researcher with long hours, Wilbur takes care of Tommy, but all of them have something else going on! ages: Tommy: 16 wilbur: 21 philza minecraft: early 40′s?

PHILZA - Mover 4 Philza is a researcher working for an organization called Cauldron. Cauldron is experimenting on people in order to understand and create powers artificially! As he ends up more and more involved with both the research on powers and the affected people (called Case 53′s), including technoblade, he decides that he cannot tolerate this anymore, and plans to break techno and others out! He steals a vial labelled ‘Zephyrus’, drinks it, and ends up with wings! He and techno break out, unlock a ton of other cells (including Ranboo’s!), and end up on the run. However, both his sons are left behind... After months of being on the run, he and Techno finally decide that it’s safe enough to return. But hang on, why is the house so empty? And did someone just open the door?

Technoblade - Tinker, Brute 3 technoblade is one of Cauldron’s Case 53′s! His power is a Tinker power, which means that he can invent things! However, he can only invent what chat decides is necessary. This is seen as an EXTREMELY overpowered and rare ability. Most Tinkers have some kind of specialty that they’re limited to, or some other restriction that limits their Ability-Driven inventiveness. Techno’s only limit is his Chat, which can be convinced into a certain direction. He also has had a lot of physical changes like gaining claws, tusks, hooves, and a tail! Techno also has increased regeneration and resistance! He’s fiercely overprotective of Phil and the two of them are best friends! After months on the run, he and Phil return to Phil’s home, but something is off... Is that a Tinker’s lab?!

Tommy - Trump 6 and Tubbo - Tinker (Drones), Master 3 Tommy’s plotline is technically our main POV! He really admires his older brother a ton! Philza’s spent a lot of time away from home, so Wilbur ended up looking after Tommy a lot, especially after Phil went missing... wonder where he went? About a month after Phil vanished, Wilbur starts spending a lot of time away from home too, so Tommy spends most of his time with Tubbo! When Tubbo got his powers, it was... not a good day. Tubbo hadn’t been having an easy time at school, and it all kind of... got to be too much, so he triggered. However, they both quickly realized that Tubbo had gotten a Tinker power! He creates and can manipulate Drones without a remote being necessary! The two of them immediately decided to become heroes, and started making costumes and hero names and stopping minor crime! Very quickly though, they got into a situation that was too much for them. Tubbo got badly injured, and Tommy triggered his ability for the first time. Tommy has the ability to boost the abilities of people he cares about! He makes them stronger and loosens some of the restrictions on their powers. Tommy and Tubbo continue trying to be heroes when they come across Ranboo, and take him home with them! Hm? it looks like someone else is inside already, who could that be?

Wilbur - Master 4, Thinker 3 Wilbur is a very charismatic and scheming character! He cares a ton about his family, and does his best to look after Tommy. He’s bitter and angry at Phil for essentially leaving him to take care of Tommy so often, and he triggered after Phil’s funeral, over a month after Phil first vanished. His ability is illusion based! He can project illusions into someone’s mind, and can read people very VERY well. He realizes that his power is definitely a powerful one, and ends up becoming a villain! He goes to Dream, and asks for some territory to prove himself as a leader (and bc villainy is profitable shhh). Dream agrees, and Phantasm becomes leader of a territory called L’Manburg. On his villain team are niki, eret, and fundy! He doesn’t want to involve Tommy or Tubbo in this whole thing, and he has no idea that either of them are Capes. He ends up spending more and more time outside the house and running his territory. Fundy ends up looking up to him as a sort of older brother/father figure, and when Fundy ends up without a place to go, Wilbur sets him up in their villain HQ! When he comes home, he immediately notices something is up. His power had suddenly gotten... stronger? He opens the door and sees...Philza? 

Dream - Master 7, Tinker(?), Striker 2 Dream has the power to possess objects that he touches! He uses this +  custom Puppets to act as the unkillable leader of the Dream Team! Dream is heavily involved with Cauldron, and personally oversaw Ranboo’s experimentation. He and Philza knew each other as civilians, and he knows that Philza stole a serum from Cauldron, but Phil doesn’t know that he’s Dream, just that he works for Cauldron! Sapnap and George both don’t know about his involvement in Cauldron, though. Dream is looking for Techno, and wants to convince him to get on his side. He has yet to meet someone who can beat him and his ability, after all! That’s part of why he gives Wilbur territory to look after so easily - he’s confident in his ability to take Wilbur down. However, things might be more difficult than he assumes... As a bit of a side note, both Awesamdude and 5up are rogues, but he hires both of them for jobs and such!

OTHER STUFF THAT I HAVEN’T QUITE PLANNED OUT AS MUCH IN DETAIL:

fundy and 5up are in a ML style love square! 5up has a crush on Fundy’s villain identity, while Fundy has a crush on 5up’s civilian identity!

niki and ranboo are siblings! she became a villain with Wilbur to look for him. Ranboo has been missing for a very VERY long time, and doesn’t remember anything before Cauldron!

5up also tends to help out Tommy and Tubbo a lot? He saved them from a situation that was UH.. VERY OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE pretty early on, and decided “welp time to become a big brother”! he’s been teaching them how to fight, and Tubbo is really having fun with it

all the plotlines collide on the same night. Phil and Techno come home at the same night that Tommy and Tubbo are bringing Ranboo home, Wilbur’s been out for the past week and is only now JUST coming home after getting Fundy settled, and none of them know about the other person’s powers at all

it’s CHAOS because Phil’s been assumed dead and has just come back with WINGS and a tall and intimidating Technoblade, who immediately pulls a sword on them, Tommy and Tubbo still are in costume, Ranboo recognizes Techno and Phil as the guys who broke him out, and WILBUR is realizing that he’s missed a hell of a lot

and NO ONE KNOWS that ranboo is the one niki is looking for! not even ranboo

theres like. a whole timeline to this that i still need to draw/write out but TRUST US WE HAVE A PLAN

George is a Precog who gets prophetic dreams! They’re primarily impressions though, and he’s ended up in someone else’s dreams a couple times... If he uses his ability too much, he gets insomnia!

karl and quackity are both there too i just havent planned their part yet!!

sapnap is a high Breaker/Brute/Striker cape, I just haven’t narrowed down the specifics yet!

[DSMP PARAHUMANS AU UPDATE 1 - Prologue]

[masterpost] [context under the cut!]

this is meant to take place on like. their second or third night out as capes? Tubbo's power (Inventing power with a specialty in Drones) has been active for maybe two weeks at this point, and they've been getting everything ready! getting the materials, making their costumes, making the drones, everything has fallen into place!

Tommy has yet to have a trigger event and gain his powers, although that happens soon after the events of this comic!

Neither of them are official heroes yet - the Protectorate/local hero organizations have yet to spot them and offer them an official spot on the local Wards team <3

schlatt and wilbur are both working for Dream (one as a spy on the Protectorate/heroes, the other as a Villain managing territory). Neither of them know about the other, but both of their jobs mean that they're out of the house a lot

Ms Aria, I read through your Parahuman AU and I love what you have come up with so far and am excited to read more about it. One thing (of many) that I want to learn more about is Fundy, both his powers and his love square with 5up (I'm a sucker for identity confusion lovers). Also how his villan team with Ms. Niki works because Ms. Niki deserves more love. Hope you are having a great day! :)

masterpost here! this au is run by myself and @gavinom :D

fundy's power is a Changer ability! He can shapeshift with a fox theme, but the number of limbs, tails, etc is up to him! I tend to nickname it the Eldritch Fox VibesTM. He can shift anywhere from full human to full fox to anywhere in between, so he doesnt really need much of a costume! i believe @gavinom has some doodles of his ability in more detail?

Fundy met 5up at Wilbur's work! Both 5up and Wilbur work at a bookstore, so Fundy walked in looking for Wilbur and went "AH CUTE BOY". 5up tends to keep track of local capes (people with powers) and ended up with a crush on,, the fox villain from the Lmanburg Team,, He's v casual with flirting with fundy's villain identity in either identity, which causes some shenanigans dlksalkjdsalkjdsa Fundy is just "why is everyone flirting with me??? i mean one of them is my crush so i vibe with it but also,, i cant drag him into this cape stuff! its dangerous!"... meanwhile 5up is already a cape with a lot of practice taking care of himself in superpowered fights

He, niki, and wilbur mostly run jobs for Dream and control territory! They're all v good friends IRL too <3 Niki, jack manifold, and fundy are all taking classes together at the local college!

AND YES NIKI DESERVES MORE LOVE,, i love her sm,, She's actually got a lot of plot connectionsTM in this au, it's a lot of fun! She and Jack manifold tell each other everything (even stuff theyre not supposed to know about) but theyve promised not to use said information against each other! (rocketduo supremacy!!)

[ariapmdeol]

a few more refs for the Dream SMP Parahumans AU! + updated connections chart! This au is written by both myself and @gavinom !!

Masterpost here, bonus info + rambling under the cut!

5UP - Stranger 4

he's a rogue! does information/breaking and entering/spying/assassination for hire! in his civilian identity, he works with wilbur at a bookstore

his power is that when in direct skin contact with plants, he becomes unnoticeable/undetectable

he has a crush on Fundy's villain identity! Fundy, however, has a crush on 5up's civilian identity which creates... shenanigans

here's a lot of flirting involved

yes this is a Miraculous-ladybug style love square

he's the first one to figure out tommy and tubbo's identities! They come in to the store all the time in civilian identities, so when he saw them running around trying to be heroes, he decided to keep an eye on them and help them out! They don't know that he's HIM, though, they just think he's a cape who wanted to help them out!

CLAY WASTAKEN | DREAM - Master 6, Striker 2

THE MASTERMIND. THE PUPPETEER. Dream has two identities! His Villain identity is Dream, Villain Leader of the Dream Team and ruler of the city! His civilian identity is Clay Wastaken, Cauldron employee and scientist

His power is a possession power! He can possess any object he has physical contact and Possess it! This transfers his consciousness completely into the puppet, leaving his body fast asleep. Possessed objects are enhanced by virtue of integrating his consciousness with it, which adds a bit more.... uncanny valley type enhancements. It's not a LOT but it's there

His civilian identity is what he uses to interact with Cauldron, who run experiments on how to gain powers and how to create them! He knew phil in this identity as coworkers, and had kept an eye on techno as well! Ranboo, however, was the result of the project he oversaw personally

as a result, he's looking for Ranboo, Phil, and techno! Technoblade, as a limitless tinker thanks to chat, is a GAME CHANGER. this man is OVERPOWERED so of course he wants to get him back under Cauldron/his control! He takes wilbur as an underling for this reason too - more access to information about philza

Schlatt is working for him as a spy! Schlatt's working for the Protectorate (hero organization) and Dream at the same time, and is acting as dream's (reluctant) man on the inside. in exchange, he asked for Dream to look out for Tubbo and ensure that he doesn't get hurt or involved in any of this. little does Schlatt know,,, his nephew has become a vigilante.

so dream is keeping an eye out for Tubbo, and quickly figures out that he's triggered and is trying to become a hero. this easy favor? has become a lot more complicated

he orders his puppets from sam, a rogue Tinker! (rogue meaning neither hero nor villain)

DreamXD seems to take a very similar form... i wonder how they're connected?

JACK MANIFOLD AND NIKI NIHACHU | NEMISIS - Breaker-Changer 5 + Brute 3 + Striker 3 And Blaster 6

ROCKETDUO ARE BEST FRIENDS

they triggered together!

Jack Manifold is a PHOENIX, BASICALLY

his power manifested as he was literally dying in a VERY VERY public place! Bursting into flames and coming back to life is a very noticeable power

as a result, he doesn't really have a difference between his civilian and hero identities? Hes just Jack Manifold, hero and also college student

He's actually STUPIDLY popular

the Protectorate loves him bc he makes heroes more relatable

in detail, his power is as follows: he can't die! He still feels pain and stuff, but if he gets too close to death he bursts into flames and comes back to life fully healed, but with some... changes the more times he dies, the more visible those changes become this is things like his eye color changing, and it almost looks like he has magma or lava glowing under his skin he can also create fire! It must be generated from his skin.

Niki's power is also flame based! Her flames have different effects based on how she feels towards the target. If she cares about them, the flames heal them! If she doesn't like them, it burns them

Niki is on a villain team with Wilbur and Fundy as Nemesis

both of them know that the other is on the opposite side, but promised not to fight each other or use inside info against each other

so theyll just wave to each other from across the battlefield and it's very entertaining

Niki and ranboo are siblings! She's looking for him

She actually joined wilbur and fundy in working for dream because it means more resources to look for him

she doesn't know about cauldron or that ranboo's been experimented on

dream also doesn't know that they're both looking for the same person

and tubbo and tommy ALSO dont know that this black and white horned guy they found is connected to all of this

shenanigans ensue

Questions number two and three, same person: You have a precog that can predict the endbringers? Secondly, what’s your plan for if the Simurgh or Behemoth attack? Both of them are fairly effective against tech.

OOC: Simurgh and Behemoth aren't in this AU! We've made custom MC/DSMP themed endbringers instead of using the Worm ones!

flowers: Dahlia (Change, Warning/Danger) and Chamomile (patience in adversity)

Masterpost!

(To the Parahuman DTeam) Any more clues on the Big Threat that’s coming? How do you even know it’s a threat, instead of just some very powerful Parahuman? What does it look like?

D: Unfortunately, most precognitive abilities aren't very specific; our precog is the same way. I've used my contacts to gain access to a few others, and while none could get specifics, they all agree that we need to prepare. Rest assured, I will not let this city or humanity perish.

For George: how do you know that what's coming is dangerous? What are the dreams like (nightmares, fever dream, lucid, etc)?

G: I can mostly tell when I'm dreaming, i think. Something always just feels.... off, almost? Like the details aren't right.

also taking advantage of this to announce hey!! we made an ask blog for this au!! @ask-dsmp-parahumans-au we're still setting it up atm <3 you'll hopefully be seeing some more stuff pop up there too!

This for the ask event, and it’s for Dream. What are your plans for if an Endbringer attacks the city?

D: I can't possess the Mech for as long as my primary puppet, but it's still more than enough time to fight off the Endbringer.

D: I may be a villain, but the city takes priority. They're under my protection after all!
