YOU REBLOGGED THE AU ASK THING SO I AM SENDING IN THE AU ASKS. 1, 4, 6, 8, 17, 23, 30, 36 You don't have to answer all of them. (This is my favorite ask of all time, ever)

illthdar answered:

Good heavens, well I’ll give it my best shot. Thanks for the ask. I won’t do the full cast, or we really will be here all year but here’s Inari’s team and how they would fit:

1. college AU but instead of being students, all your ocs are professors

Toshiiro: dance

Seth: the cool science teacher

Tundra: computer lab

Inari: the principal, of course

Lerki: the less cool science teacher

4. *wormhole AU where your ocs find themselves at a Comic Con on Earth (in the near future after your book/comic/film has come out to wild success) and they must pretend to be extremely dedicated cosplayers*

Tundra: absolutely trying his hardest not to fanboy over all of the stuff. Not really succeeding because he’s a super nerd.

Seth: completely enjoying the fact that everyone wants a picture with him.

Toshiiro: cannot figure out wtf is going on. Face may as well be tattooed red from every person getting too up close and personal. Nothing he does seems to make them go away - he’s bewildered that, the more he complains, the more people scream with excitement.

Inari: their very best self, fan hiding their laughing face.

Lerki: complete mess. Too noisy, too bright, too much is wrong with this place - the elements said so - WHY can’t we go back yet?

6. AU where your ocs are all various types of animals at a pet store/petting zoo

Toshiiro: he’s the parrot that got taught all the swear words.

Seth: the Labrador puppy that is toocuteforlife. OMG, U HUMAN?! TAKEMEWITHUUUUU!

Tundra: that cat that comes in and doesn’t even live here. No one knows who he belongs to, he just eats the food and sleeps in the beds and fucks off again when it suits him.

Inari: the so majestic bird in that one cage that is never bought, despite how pretty, because they snap at everyone that tries to touch their feathers. Don’t mess with the aesthetics.

Lerki: Hamster. HAVE I MOVED ANYWHERE YET? NO?! Better run in this wheel some more! Oo! Water! CARROT SLICES NOMNOM! What was I doing?

8. AU where your ocs all work at a fast food restaurant

Toshiiro: Manager. Hates his life because he got the rest of these dipshits.

Inari: Regional manager. All eyes on them when they walk in. Super bitchy.

Tundra: Looks like a slacker, does most of the work anyway, but still manages to flirt with the customers.

Seth: Wants to flirt with the customers, unfortunately stuck on drive thru because he can’t seem to do it without getting caught by Toshiiro.

Lerki: Does he work here? Fuck knows. If he shows up, we never see him.

17. boy band AU

Toshiiro: drummer. Can’t sing for shit, won’t try, but has best rhythm.

Tundra: electric guitar. Screamer.

Seth: base guitar. Backup vocals.

Inari: Lead singer, second best vocals but best face.

Lerki: Backup vocals, best but looks like he forgot to change clothes. Or shower. All week.

23. AU where your ocs are aged-up and are now all residents in a retirement home

Tundra: going to laugh as he tries to run people over with the electric scooter. Can you catch him? Nope.

Seth: the nice old black guy that every white person looks to for great advice but gives no thanks to.

Inari: Still a diva and dresses better than everyone there. Including the visitors.

Lerki: lost touch with reality but forever trying to convince everyone otherwise. No one is fooled. Cheats at cards.

Toshiiro: Legit has his shit still in order. Head of the scrabble and bingo clubs and chess club. Will completely own any ass in trivia.

30. 1950s ‘Outsiders’ AU where your ocs are split between Greasers and Socs

Inari: Complete Soc. Head of them, their ruler. All bow.

Toshiiro: the Soc who would very much like not to be surrounded by insufferable egotistical dicks but can’t stand morons, so here he’s stuck.

Seth: Greaser. Best at detailing. Will pimp the fuck out of your wheels.

Tundra: Greaser. Best driver. Has lots of practice crashing. People think he’s got nine lives or some shit.

Lerki: Voted most likely to get doors opened into his face every time he tries to enter a room. Loser.

36. shipwrecked on a desert island AU

Toshiiro: made the Help sign out of sticks.

Seth: made shelter and fire.

Inari: that bastard who sits around and supervises.

Lerki: wandered off hours ago to explore.

Tundra: the only one who thought to grab a mirror to signal for help that way.

With several neat and folded pieces of cloth balanced on his good arm, Date stood in the hallway. His eyes, he kept directed towards Vyxen’s slipper-clad feet. “Tengu have feathers to keep warm,” he pointed out, voice a whisper. “These are a poor substitute, but they are better than nothing.”

“Oh, okay, great,” Vyxen responded, collecting the quilted robes from him. His manner of speech was closer to what she was used to, but the body language was a far cry from Date Toshiiro. The whole thing felt unnatural, and it tempted her to yank a feather out his head, if only for the reaction. “Thanks.”

He mumbled and bowed once in reply, backing away before turning to go back down the hallway where, she assumed, the men and Inari had taken up residence.

She had a picture in her head of him being a proud and haughty Prince before he came to Las. She never expected him to get on his knees and beg as he had the day before. Looking how he acted, so out of character compared to the image in her mind, it occurred the first and second impressions weren’t right either.

Here, there the class-system was alive and well. Servants scurried from place to place, silent if not unseen. They had all but set fire to the whole town to make them fly in from above, risking the lives of their own people, just to ensure one man wouldn’t take the trail below. She hadn’t missed the fact no one refuted there was a torture room in the basement, either.

They world shaped those who lived in it, so what did that make Date Toshiiro?

guardians-of-las-vyxen asked:

Happy Storyteller Saturday x2 - Toshiiro has become notorious among the fandom for his willingness to eat absolutely anything, even horrifying things. Is there anything Toshiiro wouldn't eat?

Lol without any exceptions known to date, Toshiiro will eat anything that is served to him. Not only does he see it as a basic necessity not to be picky, but it's just good manners. He's always a gentleman, first and foremost.

Anonymous asked:

Happy Storyteller Saturday? Are any of your OC's looked down upon by their peers? Why and how do they cope with it?

Thanks for the ask!

Illthdar is a dark fantasy that emulates reality and one of the elements of that evil underside is that bigotry exists in several forms. (Apologies, baby hit answer before I could finish)

One example are the demons: by Illthdar definition, a being is a demon if their race's history involved evolution of some form. I.e., their kind came from certain people being transformed from something else. Angels are demons, tengu are demons, vampires and werewolves are demons and, technically so are butterflies.

how the characters deal with something so arbitrary differs. Magnilla's clan uses propaganda to bury this fact. Abaddon chooses to ignore the haters. Date has internalised it.

pluttskutt asked:

Happy Storyteller Saturday! Do you have clear images of your OC's? Do they change, or are you unsure how they look?

Thanks for the ask!

When I start out, I have general information and descriptions when I start a new WIP. As the characters interact and I dig more into personality, I add details to their physical descriptions to fall in line with it.

A great example of this is Date Toshiiro and his missing pinkies. It never occurred to me to consider missing fingers when I first did his description. But it came up in writing and My first thought was that he could have been born like that, but his personality and demeanor about them put the reason into darker territory.

So the answer is yes, but the image becomes clearer as the draft progresses.

howdywrites asked:

Happy (late) STS!! 💕 What are your characters packing for a road trip? What's their destination?

Thank you for the ask!

The characters go on away missions to all sorts of destinations in the Illthdar series. Despite this, some are more sensible than others, for example:

Seth will not and cannot do camping due to his trauma so he packs light and will argue for less rest stops.

Tundra is used to travel and did it a lot before he ended up on Illthdar. He's the person to go to if you need something.

Lerki doesn't understand packing at all. His people are nomadic and live off of the land, making use of the environment. The first and last time he was put in charge of packing for a mission, he didn't even pack blankets or tents.

Date knows he's the least capable when it comes to basic life skills. If anyone packed anything stupidly useless stuff, it was him.

Inari is fabulous. Inari is able to carry as much as they want, so long as it fits in their generous sleeves. Inari is a celestial, a god, and doesn't need much personally. However, they are considerate of others and is the person to ask if you need something special. Inari has it, I promise.

That's just the B-team. There are a lot of characters in the main cast, these guys and Inari are only half of them.
