[Continuation of this post]

Me; Acts nonchalant about a new au

Also me; *frothing at the mouth, imaginary scenes in my head constantly, spending hours on this*

So, I kinda want Jack to be his usual mischievous self, accidently becoming a cryptid in the process. Obviously, I’m making it Frostcup too, cuz chemistry. But once more thats really as far as I’ve taken it. Idk about the time-line, why/how Jack is in the archipelago, or if Jamie should be in it. I think I should add Jamie, he’s great.  

I wanted to name the Jack’s Snowwraith ‘Windstrike’ but apparently there’s a dragon species called windstriker so back to the drawing board I go.

Omg I absolutely adore this cuz it shows how questionable the dnd system is. Just, Izuku doing a training exercise, walking through a hall way

Dm; “roll a perception check”

Izuku, confused but rolls anyway; *gets a Nat 1*

Dm; “you don’t seem to notice anything out of the ordinary”

Izuku, sweating; ????

And the social interactions (assuming a roll can manipulate someone’s response from what they’d normally say)

Iida ; “Midoriya whats wrong?! Where have you been.”

Izuku, bloody with several new broken bones; “Iida there’s some villains hiding out in that building, you have to believe me, we need to get a pro-hero before they can escape!”

Dm; “roll a persuasion check with advantage.”

Izuku, annoyed but knows this has to be done; *rolls a nat 1*

Izuku, concerned but glad he has advantage; *rolls another nat 1*

Izuku; …

Iida; “I don’t believe you.”

And the rolls when it comes to knowledge!

Dm; “roll a history check”

Izuku, fighting a villain he’s seen before and taken a whole ton of notes on; “what do you mean?! I’ve studied this guy’s weaknesses and fighting patter-“ *rolls a 2, plus modifier is 4*

Dm; “you know that they’re vulnerable to knives, if you stab them, they will bleed out.”

Izuku; “what?? I know more than that! I know they have a weakness to… a weakness… uh..”

~

Dm; “roll a history check”

Izuku, now fighting a new villain never seen before with a ambiguous quirk; “what? How could I have any idea what this person is and what their weaknesses are-“ *rolls a 19, plus modifiers is 21*

Dm; “you know that their quirk relies on a consistent source of power to maintain their control, that their sight can only see things that move, and that their decent into villainhood started with the death of their pet turtle.”

Izuku; “well I guess I know now!!”

I’d like to believe that the quirk isn’t just having some narrator, but has actually manifested its own omnipotence when the quirk arose.

Dm; “roll a D20”

Izuku who just got a package; “why??”

Dm; “just do it”

Izuku; *rolls a 13*

Dm; “the package has arrived in one piece, but you will find a few cracks.”

~in a different universe which is exactly the same~

Izuku; *rolls a nat 1*

Dm; “make a dex saving throw”

Izuku, very carefully placing the package down and backing up;

Dm; “make a dex saving through with advantage”

~

Dm; “so,,, I want to make this experience as fun as possible, what do find the most engaging when you play dnd?”

Young naïve Izuku; “ooo, I like fighting enemies with depth to their character! And working out puzzles!”

Dm, sculpting an underground dungeon with lots of doors and traps, now inserting a load of enemies with traumatic backstories; “ok, I got ya”

~

Izuku, In the middle of a fight; “I’d like to change my dice please”

Dm; “why”

Izuku, with a world record of broken bones; “becAUSE THESE ONES ARE CURSED”

Izuku; “also can you make them purple and sparkly?”

~

Izuku, failing a stealth check and being found by the BBEG; “well you see, I was actually just going grocery shopping when I came across one of your guys and they said that you were out of eggs and milk so it’d be absolutely amazing if I could pick you all up some as well, so I did and that’s why I’m here right now, in your secret base.”

Shigaraki; “in your hero uniform?”

Izuku; “…yes”

Dm; “roll a persuasion check with disadvantage”

Izuku; “rolls a nat 20, then a 19”

Shigaraki; “sounds legit, continue.”

The more I think about this au the more I love it, dnd’s appeal comes from the improv of the players and death defying dice rolls (or rather dice that just want to see you burn). A casual d20 check which resorts in a nat 1 could create an entire subplot which last for days and only resorts in you finally finding that sock you were after the entire time. And so when it comes to this au, it could just go completely off the rails, you don’t need reasoning, you have dice which dictates everything.

Okay Izuku's quirk is called DND! When he turns 4, he sees some dice, a few books and a notebook that appeared on his desk.

Okay so this one too I had to think about a bit, books just appearing sounded a bit anticlimactic so here's my take.

- on Izuku Midoriya's fourth birthday he is suddenly enveloped in a green glow and a voice introduces itself as his DM or Dungeon Master system that will help him navigate his quirk and his adventure called life.

- the DM can either be heard only by Izuku or by everyone in close to proximity to Izuku, depending on the situation.

- along with the DM he mentally has access to several books or catalogs starting with the players guide, the others he can access later on in his journey.

- Izuku is ecstatic about the activation of his quirk and spends the entire day researching and his player sheet starts to form from then on out.

- DM informs him that he will have to choose a player class, but he can also decide to multi class later on or change his class entirely.

- any spells he learns will be able to be used even if he switches classes.

- his deeds in real life will boost up his stats.

- and whenever needs to use specific stats a mental dice appears and by tapping it he rolls the dice.

- the dice also appear before certain outside events happen.

- so like he's walking under a bridge and all of a sudden the dice appears and the DM states "roll for initiative" and Izuku is just like "what????"

- Izuku's main class is paladin but has also multi classes as an arcane rouge and cleric before and has those skill sets.

- by the time he is in middle school his stats are:

Strength: 9

Dexterity: 13

Constitution: 11

Wisdom: 17

Intelligence: 15

Charisma: 6

- also if Izuku has anyone join his party he can add bonuses to their abilities or moves and view their stats and possibly their character sheet depending on how close they are.

TO THOSE MAKING NATIVE OCS

I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.

Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.

However, I’ve got your solution.

Native-Languages  is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!

Please don’t trust names like babynames.com for native names, they’re made up and often quite offensive to the cultures themselves.

Could I offer you a baby black dragon in these trying times?

I got this dnd idea where several kids get turned into dragons (through ‘cursed’ amulets), each a different colour. I don’t think I’ll ever develop it much further, but I can always make some cool art.

Idk how black dragons normally handle their young, all I know is that they have a very “hands off” approach, and leave the protecting to their lizard folk slaves. But I thought it would be funny if the adult black dragon was so genuinely confused when a whirmling -who they just presume was theirs- is so nice and sweet to animals, but says things like “we sacrificed a dude using that flower’s poison once” and “my mother told me to always take care preserving the eyes, or our god wouldn’t accept the sacrifice.” And the adult dragon is just like ??????????

Anyway, I’m tired. Good night uwo
