kohikariWoo, it's been a while. I have a lot to do WRT updating this blog, if I do keep it updated--D.Gray-chapters, that other d_t convo, the AB AMV post...not to mention all the cross-concepting I've been doing. Oh well, one thing at a time.
D.Gray-stuck! (not to be confused with D.Troll-man)
DISCLAIMER
-- I haven't actually caught up with the canon DGM chapters from 204 onward...I keep intending to, and not doing it
-- and the last thing I remember keeping up with re: Homestuck was John waking up from his tantrum-induced dreambubble convo with Vriska and Tavros
-- and of course I read through the first few thousand pages of HS on a device that refused to view the Flash pages, which was super confusing and it's only the recaps that helped me understand anything at all; I'm trying to finish remedying that now, and also catch up, but it's pretty time-consuming
So, the Fab Four as the Kids, the Noah as the Trolls, the Earl and the 14th as the Cherubs, and I'm too lazy to put much thought into ectobiological shenanigans right now. Not really interested in the game mechanics e.g. denizens and consorts and carapaces and exiles etc., but the titles and lands and locations and themes etc. will be addressed.
The Earl of Millennium is aTime Lord* Lord of Time (seven-thousand-year-old sorcerer with game-breaking powers and evil-god levels of final boss difficulty); the setting itself can be played as straight AU or as a sort of weird alternate-dimension reincarnation fic: where the Earl lost the war but could not be destroyed, and was sealed away from the universe/world he so dearly wanted to lay waste to, and nursed a massive grudge until the time when he could come at the problem from a different angle--19th-century vendetta, 19th-century style; 21st-century vendetta... No longer a quasi-steampunky shadow holy war where he's pulling all the strings, but a quasi-cyberpunky dimension-hopping game interface similarly orchestrated so that the dice are loaded in his favor and the poor suckers caught up in the middle of it have little choice other than to die horribly. (D.Gray-man is not a pleasant setting. Homestuck isn't either, but both stories are told in such a way that you're frequently distracted from the bleakness of reality.) My notes describe as being influenced by the era: 19th-century style was a holy war with chosen apostles and religious magic; 21st-century style is sci-fi mindfuckery with grey aliens and video games.
(So if it's the sequel to D.Gray-man, then the Earl finds a way to yank at Allen/Neah from where he's been banished, and resets their existences--three of the Exorcists closest to Allen (who died around the same time as him? this AR probably involves a pyrrhic-victory ending where the world is saved but all your favorite characters are dead or horribly maimed) are pulled along into the Earth time period where the Earl's trying to do-over the war, the Noah are reborn in a new world specifically designed by the Earl so that they too can enter the 'game' and be given the chance to join him and benefit through his victory, and Neah--since he is the one the Earl most wants to punish--winds up, by the rules of this new existence the Earl is setting up, as his alter ego. This is not ideal for the Earl, but it was difficult enough to arrange all this from being trapped outside of space and time, so sacrifices must be made. This way, he gets to destroy the Earth and its ungrateful inhabitants, take revenge on Allen Walker and the 14th, reunite with those most deserving in his family, and torture some other exorcists as a side benefit.)
I'm undecided as to how to organize the Noah--it's tempting to try to align them along the eastern or western zodiacs, but I don't think it'd fit them very well--and there's only twelve of them this way, and JasDevi would feel awkward not both being Gemini. I'll probably just go with the numbering scheme, and/or assign haemospectrum values. And in terms of lusii...oy. I'll get back to you on that.
For world guardians I'm going with Timcanpy, and maaaybe Lero, still undecided about that.
So! I've mostly been working with the Fab Four/Kids angle. Here's what I've got so far:
KID -- Allen Walker
SYMBOL -- *ace of spades? upside-down pentagram?* the Crown Clown mask? a clown-paint face? the cross on his hand?
COLOR -- red and grey and silver and white; theme a deep dark blood red
TYPING HABIT -- almost stiffly proper grammar and punctuation and capitalization, if a bit shaky on spelling...until he's pissed off, in which case propriety falls by the wayside and he gets a bit more vulgar
SCREEN NAME -- word bank: crown clown pierrot red black white cross grave 14 mask poker ace royal flush; candidates: whitePierrot, whiteClown, crownClown, pokerFace, royalFlush, paintedMask, crossGrave, numberFourteen...
STRIFE SPECIBUS -- clawkind (dunno how to address the sword/lightsaber/gun thing)
GOD TIER TITLE -- Knight of Hope; also considered Heir of Hope, and he works as a Hero of Blood, or maybe Doom or Heart(I was sooooo tempted to make him Prince of Time because of Hevlaska's prophecy, you have no idea)
LAND NAME -- idea bank: circus, tents, clowns, snow, ice, frost, graves, graveyards, wandering...something to do with his aspect as well maybe. churches? Land of Snow and Churchyards?
EARTH HOME -- somewhere in Britain, or maybe India
ASSOCIATED PEOPLE ETC. -- Timcanpy, Cross, Mana...Mother, Baba, Cosimo, Allen-the-dog...
KID -- Yu Kanda/Kanda Yuu
SYMBOL -- *the truncated aum?* the hourglass lotus?
COLOR -- blue and black and red; theme a dark navy blue
TYPING HABIT -- he doesn't give a shit about capitalization or punctuation or spelling; gets capslocky when pissed

STRIFE SPECIBUS -- swordkind (/bladekind?)

LAND NAME -- idea bank: ponds pools caves drought lotuses blue-skies...aspect too? Land of Drought and Lotuses?

ASSOCIATED PEOPLE ETC. -- Alma...Zuu, Edgar, Twi, Bak...Tiedoll, Marie...

SCREEN NAME -- word bank: butterfly dragonfly chocolate boots shoes feet shackles; candidates: blackBoots, dragonFly, butterflyFeet, butterflyBoots, butterflyShoes, butterflyShackles...
STRIFE SPECIBUS -- bootkind (/shoekind?)
GOD TIER TITLE -- Maid of Space; also considered Heir of Space, Witch of Space, and she works as a Hero of Blood, or maybe Breath (she works better as these than as Space, but I needed a Space player and she fit best; she's Maid and not Witch at least partly because I didn't want overlap with the eight living Kids and the twelve main Trolls--Porrim and the rest of the Anscendants don't count because reasons)
LAND NAME -- idea bank: uhhh. I haven't spent as much time concentrating on Lavi and Lenalee's headspaces as I should.

KID -- Lavi Bookman(?)

SCREEN NAME -- word bank: tessei oozuchi-kozuchi hammer eyepatch apprentice 49 deak alias record seal stamp history war librarian; candidates: eyepatchApprentice, alias49, historyNut, secretHistory, warHistorian, apprenticeLibrarian...
STRIFE SPECIBUS -- hammerkind
GOD TIER TITLE -- Mage of Time; he works as a Hero of Heart, or maybe Light or Mind (similar case to Lenalee--he's great for Heart like she's great for Blood, but none of the boys worked for Space and Lavi was the best for Time)
LAND NAME -- idea bank: puzzles riddles libraries cemeteries mass-graves mummies tombs labyrinths mazes battlefields ummm.
EARTH HOME -- somewhere in North America, or maybe North Africa or the Middle East or Central/North Asia???
ASSOCIATED PEOPLE ETC. -- Bookman...Dag?

Re: INTERNET GROUPTHINK NO JUTSU
on 2013-Jun-21, Friday 01:26 (UTC)This set has Allen as Heir of Hope, Kanda as Knight of Life, Lenalee as Witch of Breath, and Lavi as Seer of Heart. ARE YOU ME.
(it's nice to know someone else may have also spent three days angsting over this)
...fffff now it’s not letting me change the icon for the above comment...or rearrange the order of the titles...

...I distinctly remember reading this less than a week ago, but between now and then she's apparently "moved" to a tumblr with zero content. DX I don't remember the details either, dammit.

This one went with the Destroyer of Time bit--Allen as Prince of Time, Kanda as Knight of Life, Lenalee as Sylph of Breath, Lavi as Seer of Heart, and featuring Neah as Bard of Space and Alma as Maid of Doom.
(Tumblr's search algorithms make me really angry, there's so many gaping holes.)
Re: INTERNET GROUPTHINK NO JUTSU

>Begin game.
[[Obligatory D.Gray-man Homestuck AU. Writing and art by Starcrossedsky unless otherwise noted. Commands are OPEN.]]"
from the personal tumblr:
"The more I mull over DGMstuck
The more I’m tempted to throw my hands in the air with a great big “FUCK THIS” and just accept that Allen = Prince of Time is canon
((for those not into Homestuck jargon - Prince is a class defined as someone who “destroys x, or is destroyed by x,” with x in this case being time.))
Especially because Neah is already the Bard ( = “one who heralds destruction of or through x”; the counterpart class to Prince) of Space.
Just… fuck everything.
#so now there's a silly space in my head where Alle and Vanitas fight it out for that title"
"Kanda that’s absolutely not allowed
No matter how appropriate it is
Your handle cannot be “slashWarfare”
did you let Alma pick that out for you I mean seriously
you did didn’t you"
"What if the source of Alma’s weird external knowledge is Calliope’s fanfiction
what if that
he ships Johnkat""So Jasdevi are kind of the inverse of Sollux
They’re seemingly two players, but they share a land/house/title/sprite, and only have one dreamself between them??
Why am I brainstorming so hard for the Noah session suddenly.
#dgmstuck alpha: Those Crazy Noah Are At It Again"
"…Timcampy is Allen’s sprite
why was this not obvious from the beginning"
"Scripting DGMstuck: >Alma: Examine jar of candy
It’s not a jar of candy!
-image of jar-
This is your collection of PAPER STARS. You’ve folded one every day for the last NINE YEARS, ever since you were parted from your best friend.
===>
You really have no idea what you’re going to do with these things."
"dskj;gdshadsasd got Lenalee’s handle
skyscrapersSong
DREW THIS IS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT"
"The main session is - Allen as Prince of Time, Neah as Bard of Space (he says if codpiece he will kill you), Kanda as Knight of Life, Alma as Maid of Doom (he says if you point out that that’s a female title he kill kill you), Lavi as Seer of Heart, and Lenalee as Sylph of Breath.
Then there’s the Noah session and that is a LOAD OF BULLSHIT so we’ll bother with that later"
"the dreamerhoods are Prospit - Allen, Kanda, and Lenalee, and Derse - Neah, Alma, and Lavi, just f y i"
"also
Latula and Porrim link karma with the aspect of Mind
Alma
do I need to change your aspect
#I could work the hero of mind angle
#he'd still be a maid tho
#because GENDERFUCK"
"#but no seriously I am having a STRONG CONFLICT OF TITLES #because on the one hand #doom is death and Alma is pretty clearly associated with it #on the other hand #the aspect of mind apparently includes karma #and YEAH #goddamnit#fuck this is hard #this is worse than the Allen prince wiffling because they’re really both equally valid #and also it’s ALMA
someone help plz"
"Nai - wiltedSoul - urbanComposition: ok everybody remind me I WILL forget this later, but Alma’s land is Pools and Underground and Kanda’s is Mist and Blooms, OK I’M DONE HERE
#seriously this is like the third time I've sorted their land names and forgotten"
Re: INTERNET GROUPTHINK NO JUTSU
on 2013-Jun-21, Friday 05:37 (UTC)edit: ooo ooo ooo I think I remember her sticking Allen and Lenalee on Prospit and Kanda and Lavi on Derse...someone sure did, at least, and hers is the only one I can't double-check...
