Y'know, I usually don't, but- What-If Wednesday!

Hit me with some what-if ideas for my characters, by all means

What if Azula existed in a modern setting - either mundane, or something with some fantastic elements like superpowers or cyberpunk tech, dealers choice

Oh, man. I mean, in a cyberpunk setting she translates pretty well to "Ruthless corporate executive's daughter with obscenely expensive/rare tech and upgrades"

Unless it's also a magic setting, I feel like she'd go magic rather than cybernetics in Shadowrun for instance.

Superhero setting she's just genderbent Dabi with skin tbh /shot

you ain't wrong

Corpo princess Azula is potent though, I love it

No power on this earth will persuade me that the MHA writers didn't see ATLA

Everything about Shoto and Dabi is just too, y'know

AND YEAH SHE WORKS WELL FOR THAT.

Oh, it works super well for sure, and it kinda makes me want to throw Momo at her at some point

I feel like noir!Harry Dresden would be too easy, but still. Give me your thoughts. And cyberpunk!Obi-Wan.

CJ : Momo?

And yeah, she fits that mold incredibly well ... like, even in a more mundane setting it works, but all the better for something cyberpunk-y

FUN FACT I ACTUALLY KNOW LITTLE ABOUT MHA

I basically JUST know about the Pointed Similarities between Shoto and Zuko

𝙹. 𝙵𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚗 : I mean I feel like a non-supernatural Noir!Harry is one of those weird conspiracy guys instead and like. 75% of the conspiracies are true in his case and the other 25% are just him.

But he's really good at the 75%

Momo is one of the girls from Class 1A in MHA. she's the smartest kid in the class, team older sister, and the absolute sweetest rich girl possible

Ahhhhh. ...Wait, I feel like somebody said I should play her if I ever got into MHA once.

V:

WELP

𝙹. 𝙵𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚗 : As for Cyberpunk Obi-Wan, I feel like he's either

A: Part of a conspicuously luddite-esque group of monks who try to look out for the sorts of people the hypercapitalist hellscape won't, or

B: In a Shadowrun-esque setting, a Physical Adept... who is still part of that group of et cetera.

She's my favorite, even if the author doesn't always use her well

I am given to understand that the author doesn't use ANYBODY in MHA well

also someone who would probably have gone to the royal firebending academy for girls if she was born into the fire nation

I don't know that I agree with that, but it's definitely rockier in like ... the 30% of the story between his initial plan's end and the final battle arc

He definitely ain't perfect, but it isn't constant misses

GoW/God AU Azula is a demigoddess of fire/lightning, like Thor's kids.

That sounds about right

that's a scary Azula
