✨ Encanto/Eternals AU: A Sky Full of Stars
Many centuries ago, a sinister race of deadly monsters had been hiding in the shadows of the Earth, causing mayhem and chaos upon the people of the planet. But just as mankind was facing its darkest moment, a bright star had fallen from the heavens and landed on Earth. From the heart of the fallen star came the Madrigals.
The Madrigals are a family of magical humanoid beings born from the magic of the heavens, each one crafted with perfection and each one blessed with a unique gift to become the planet's mightiest protectors.
For years, the Madrigals used their gifts to serve their new home, and protect mankind from the deadly creatures until they were finally defeated and had retreated back into the shadows. Over time, the Madrigals followed suit. With their greatest enemy defeated, the mythical protectors all disappeared, eventually finding their new places in the evolving society.
But when their age-old energy plots a return, the Madrigals will have to unite to stop them once and for all.
Alma is the spiritual leader of the Madrigals, with the gift of celestial wisdom. Since their arrival, Alma has guided her family towards defending humanity and protecting their new home. Over time, humanity continued to evolve, and soon, the family all found their new places in the world. Meanwhile, Alma continued to listen to the stars, awaiting what would happen next.
Julieta is the healer of the family, for she is able to heal any illness or injury known to mankind. Julieta cares very deeply about her celestial family, and for their new home. When the team had dispersed, Julieta still wished to help as many as she could and became a cook in a local hospital, keeping her powers hidden, and eventually falling in love with a clumsy piano player.
Pepa is a warrior who has the ability to control the weather. Pepas’ emotions could change from a simple cloudy day to a powerful hurricane, her every emotion became a weapon. Sometimes her own emotions became too much for Pepa to control on her own. When their war with the creatures was over, Pepa decided to share her life with a mortal man she meet, who could calm her down when she was brewing a powerful storm.
Bruno, the Madrigal who had the ability to see into the future. Bruno loved his family and used his visions to help them in any way that he could; however, he soon developed a condition known to celestials as Mind Wy’ry. In which Bruno was unable to tell the difference between his memories/nightmares and real life, it got to a point where Bruno fell into a trance and attacked his family. After the incident, Bruno disappeared, and no one has seen him for thousands of years.
When a Star finds its Soulmate, their hearts become connected, giving any mortal an extended lifespan. Agustin and Felix Madrigal had been the first two men to share their hearts and lives with a Star.
Isabela was blessed with the gift to grow a wide variety of plants and flowers with a wave of her hand. When the family went their separate ways, Isabela continued to blossom. Her powers grew like the grapes thriving on a vine, and so Isabela continued to thrive. Over time, Isabela became known as a beautiful and graceful dancer.
Dolores, able to hear anything and anyone from miles away. When the creatures were attacking, Dolores would use her gift to detect when and where they would be attacking from. Keeping her family safe from anything that would harm them. Over time, the creatures were defeated, Dolores found peace in their silence, and in her new love, Mariano. However, she always kept her ears listening out for any upcoming threat, and would anonymously help the police with finding missing people or criminals on the loose.
Luisa, the strongest member of the team; best known for keeping a cool head in the face of danger. For years, Luisa has carried the weight of her family’s burden, determined to keep everyone safe until the dreaded creatures were finally vanquished. After the war, Luisa continued to use her gift to help society build its foundations towards a new future. All the while, Luisa kept her insecurities to herself, slowly crumbling inside.
Camilo, a magical shapeshifter who could turn into any person he’s seen. In battle, Camilo would use his gift to confuse the enemy, or shift between different weights, sizes, or speeds he’ll need in combat. Outside of battle, Camilo would use his gift for entertainment. Shifting into many people to tell stories, or pull pranks on different members of his family. After the war, Camilo had to use his ability to keep his eternal lifeline a secret from the world, often wondering in private who he was meant to be in the new world.
Mirabel, blessed with the gift of empathy. By touching another person, Mirabel could feel their emotions, and alter them, even putting them into a deep sleep. Unfortunately, it hadn’t proven useful in battle, so to make up for it, Mirabel became skilled with every weapon she could master. Like the rest of her family, Mirabel fell in love with their new home planet and swore to protect their home. She went along with Julieta, to help others in any way she could.
Antonio, the youngest-looking spirit who could communicate with animals of every species and size. With the appearance of a child, Antonio never came face-to-face with the enemy of his family, instead, he and his animal companions would keep any nearby human out of harm's way. In his new life, Antonio and Pepa found a home in the middle of a thriving forest, where Antonio could spend his days with his animal companions and use his powers in private.
