Okay, here's a list of characters I'm considering to be the new beasts in my AU.(For simplicity I will refer to the division I will make between them as "shades" of one of the beasts). Some of these picks are more for vibes and designs and based on what I read on the Wiki about her, I still don't know these characters 100%.
Possible Shade Beasts for Shadow Milk Cookie:
Menthol Cookie was chosen specifically because both he and Shadow Milk Cookie have religious influences on them, plus the fact that I would find it interesting to see a religious character falling into despair after being brainwashed, especially since his brainwashing would be more different from others.
I thought it would be quite interesting that Dark Enchantress chose Black Sapphire specifically to mess with Shadow Milk Cookie, brainwashing him would get SM's attention. Plus, him having to see one of his subordinates being corrupted like him not by choice but by force would be somewhat tragic.
Possible Shade Beasts for Mystic Flouer:
She's as cold as MFC, unfortunately I don't know much about her other than the fact that she and her sisters have some kind of master, I only chose her because of how cold she is.
The thing is, their beast titles will not be the same as the original beasts. They would receive different titles/vice titles. And I think the idea of twisting what makes these characters who they are is interesting (yes I like torturing characters, why do you ask? :3). I genuinely don't have a good explanation for this pick, I just think his vibe is cool.
Possible Shade Beasts for Burning Spicy:
I don't think I need to explain, do I? Honestly he's the only pick I have trouble with in Burning Spice, because let's be honest, I can't think of anyone else like him.
Possible Shade Beasts for Silent Salt:
Wouldn't it be tragic to have one of your best friend's best soldiers corrupted into your own image? Again, I love torturing characters, especially my favorites. Also, he's also my only pick for Silent Salt.
I would say who my pick for Eternal Sugar would be but that would be a spoiler, because I want it to be a surprise when I get there.
Some other options are these:
That's all I have for now, tell me which of these picks are best for each beast. You can give me trivia, lore information, curiosities and more so I can get an idea of how I'll work with them.
