OKAY UPDATE IT APPEARS I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO POST SOME BOIS

people over at the splatsona discord server were discussing desertpunk au and i have never rushed over to my computer as quickly because d a m n was drawing these fun

Goggles and Bobble!

it’s official i see epic game and go “hmmmm what if I made a magical girl au for it” 

sticking all my crappy ideas for it under the cut:

this is more like a weird amalgamation between a sleepless domain au and an actual mg au but here we go folks

-Cephies will begin to manifest magical powers as soon as 14, when they have full control over their squid and humanoid forms. These powers will usually appear in a dream, before they will eventually gain the ability to transform. In this form, their ink becomes empowered, and they gain a special ability differing between people.

-Magical girls (or boys, sometimes) will often work in teams. There are generally two different kinds: non-thematic (think...Team Blue, Yellow-Green, etc.) and thematic (think Team Iromaki, School Cardigans, Army, etc.). There’s no real difference between the two, except that thematic teams usually have coordinating outfits, abilities, and sigils.

-Costumes and weapon themes usually reflect personalities, and can sometimes change over time. Matching costumes are signs of a thematic group.

-Every magical girl has a sigil on their body somewhere unique to every cephie. Thematic teams will usually have sigils that match or at least look very similar to each other, and they can be located almost anywhere on the body, though in squid/octo form, the sigil will always be located on the forehead or tentacles.

-At night, every magical girl is officially permitted to transform and hunt down monsters in varying parts of Inkopolis. A barrier protects civilians from monster break-ins.

-Magic is derived from ink. For example, if a cephie has fire powers, her ink will combust when flicked, or if she has levitation/flying powers, her ink has the ability to lift objects/herself, etc.
