wait about your r1999 bsd au- kunikida as sonetto makes so much sense because they both use writing when fighting, sonetto with her poetry stuff, and kunikida with doppo poet
also, out of curiosity, would any of the characters be playing a similar role as druvis, starting out with the manus vindictae but joining vertin later on??
Druvis is definitely a tough one, anon. If I continue with the idea that the Decay of Angels/Rats is the manus vindictae equivalent, then Sigma would probably be the closest match. Druvis was only there to protect her forest (it’s basically all she has) and Sigma was only there to protect his casino (it’s basically all he has). So in that regard, even though their personalities/vibes are different, they’re pretty perfect thematically. Sigma may not technically be on the good side yet in canon, but I like to imagine in this au they would take him in.
