Chapter Text

Akira is a vampire. His age is unknown, even to him (?), but he is the oldest of the group.

 

Morgana is a boy cursed to be a cat. 

 

Ann is also a vampire but younger than Akira. Her girlfriend is Shiho.

 

Ryuji is a 40 years old (2nd youngest in the group) werewolf. But werewolves have long live spans so by their standars he is a kid. He and Ann knew since Ryuji was younger. It was an unlikely friendship between a werewolf and a vampire, if asked they say this is the reason they bicker constantly.

 

Shiho a recently turned into a zombie after certain accident (see Kamoshida incident). While she is recently turned she is still older than Futaba (younger than Ruyji but will say she isn't part of the PT so Ann can keep making fun of Ryuji).

~Kamoshida Incident~

Akira, Ann, Ryuji, Shiho, Makoto & Haru attend Shujin. 

Ann fell in love with Shido but Kamoshida continuously threatened with hurting her if Ann didn't sleep with him but unlike canon Ann brushed him off as a mere annoyance too preocuppied with Shiho and keepeing her secret identity. 

Kamoshida eventually got fed up and acted and although he only wanted to scare Ann he accidentally ended up killing Shiho.

Akira and Ann were there and while Akira took care dealing with Kamoshida and killing him(?), Ann tried to turn Shiho and save her but failed to do so bc it was too late.

That's were Haru and Makoto reveal themselves (they had long known about the others) and Haru, with the help of Makoto's powerful magic, revives Shiho turning her into a zombie.

At first Shiho was scared but Ann told her everything and eventually Shiho accepted it, glad that she got a second chance to live her life that would have otherwise been cut short and tries to fullfill her dream of becoming an physical therapist and be with Ann. 

Shiho has to go to constant check ups with Haru to make sure her body doesn't descompose.

 

Yusuke is a 100 years old ghost. He died between 1910 and 1930 (see Madarame's incident)

~Madarame's incident~

He was Madarame's (famous japanese artist from the 20th century)  student. He was killed by Madarame when he discovered the truth about his mother and The Sayuri.  Unbeknownst to him his soul ended up tied to The Sayuri  (and Madarame's house?) but because Madarame dies misteriously 10 years posterior to Yusukes death The Sayuri gets lost.

Ghosts are born from violent deaths and the extreme emotions the persons feel while dying. In Yusuke's case he was angered at Madarame's deceit and upset by the discovery of his mother's story so he died with these feelings as his centre,

Yusuke can't actually remember the first 10 years of his life as a ghost (that's why he says he's only 90 years old) because he was in too much pain until Madarame's death which relieved Yusuke of some of it. Him still seeing Madarame as a father figure and the love he has left from him afterall is what causes some of this pain (and ties him to the house?) and the rest is everyhting about how he feels for his mother and ties him to the Sayuri.

Whether he or the spirit of his mother killed Madarame is unknown. (if it was his mother's then killing Madarame was her pending matter and thats why she was able to cross to the other side unlike Yusuke)

Yusuke's pending matter is unknown to him but it is related to the Sayuri (remebering how he died, finding the painting and unconvering the truth about it to the whole world).

Edit 16/03/21: Yususke's mother didnt kill Madarame. She died thinking Madarame was going to take care and protect Yusuke as he had assured her so she was able to peacefully move to the other side.

It was Yusuke who killed Madarame.  Madarame was fleeing from his, fed up with Yusukes angered ghost haunting the place who he tried to get rid od several times but failed to do so. As a last resort Madarame was told to leave the house as Yusukebeing a ghost would be unable to follow him due to being tied to the house but Madarame took the Sayuri to which Yusuke was also tied to with him  which allowed Yusuke to follow him and drown him in a freezing river (Yusukes cold motif) for trying to run away. The Sayuri also fell to the river to be lost/recovered later.

Consumed by guilt for what he did Yusuke receded to the house (unconciously wanting to get away from the river ) where he stayed until the PT found him.

The PT met him on a school excursion to Madarames shack now turned museum -where he deambuled for the last 100 years (Madarame abandoned the place bc he could see yusukes ghos)t- about to be demolished. Yusuke was the furious ghost haunting the place. The Pt tried to help him move on but eventually discover theres more to Yusuke than just haunting the place where he died.

He is best friends with Futaba bc he is the only one who isnt in danger of being petrificated by her due to his lack of corporeal form so she can act natural and unrestrained around him.

Yusuke can't see himself in mirrors and the like and there's no photos of him so he doesn't know how he looks like as a ghost (only knows how he used to look like and paints himself as to no forget it again) so he appreciates all of his friends efforts at describing/painting him. Obsessed with the representation of the true self.

Ghosts are also sensible to emotions so Yusuke has to be careful of his own emotions or those from others or he risks losing control of himself in flurry of emotions and turning into a vengeful ghost again which is a state almost impossible to return from. He was lucky the first time the Pt were able to help him.

 

Futaba is a baby gorgon who is 16 years old. Daughter of Wakaba Ishiki and a unknown man she/baby Futaba petrified.

As in canon suffers from extreme social anxiety born from the traumatic death of her mom (see Wakaba Ishiki incident) . The fact she can't control her powers and is terrified of accidentally turning people (specially Sojiro, her caretaker) into stone just worsens everyhting.

~Wakaba Ishiki incident~

A very old gorgon who dedicated her life to do whatever she wanted and research any topic that caught her attention. Eventually meddled into Shidos affairs and was thus targeted.

First creature Goro was tasked to kill as a test to join Shido's hunters (It was a win win situation for Shido. Either he got rid of the weakling he thought Goro to be and was llegally allowed to go after Wakaba who knew too much or Goro got to prove himself as Shidos succesful project and get rid of Wakaba for him).

After Goro killed her Shidos men claimed it was a legal hunt due to the petrificated people they found at her house in the raid and Futaba always thought were her fault  as it was  known Wakaba was able to control her power ( actually these were men that Wakaba petrified during the rid trying to defend herself and Futaba. Shido placed them there and framed them as previous victims).

Only Goro survived that night (it's where his fame as an skilled hunter begins) and knows the truth. (Whether he was aware of Futabas existence and failed to kill her too is up to consideration)

Futaba used to lock herself in her room and communicate only via technology (she developed a liking to technology because it was the only thing that allowed her to interact with the outside world). As in canon Akira and co are trying to get her outside.

While outside she wears giant googles to block her petrifying vision but make her go around blindly (although she could just close her eyes but she is too scared) and the PT guide her. Sometimes Yusuke guides her around while they are on their own but they dont do it often bc he is not very good at it as he tends to get distracted observing the surroundings.

Akira, Ann and Makoto don't think her powers would work on them but they dont feel like testing that (at least until Haru finds a cure for petrification). Ryuji, Shiho, Morgana and Haru are definitely not goin to risk it.  The only reason they know for sure it doesn't work on Yusuke is bc he got disctracted when they barely knew Futaba and were trying to get her out and accidentally slipped into Futabas room while she was locked in there. Because he didnt knock (he doesnt have to as he is a ghost) she had her eyes opened and uncovered.

 

Sojiro is a simple human who loved Wakaba and as bratty as she was she still considered him a good friend. As in canon he takes care of Futaba after Wakabas death and ends up as Futaba's foster parent. He wasn't there the night Wakaba died and feels guilty for being away at a job.

The only difference from canon is he doesn't know how he ended up taking care of so many immortal kids. Specially when most of them are older than him.

 

Makoto is a demon. Sae is a fae.

Both are daughters of a witch (their father/Akihiko?) and a demon (their mother/Minako Arisato?). Makoto took completely after their mom while Sae took after both (faes being born from the mix of demons and humans).

Both sisters are educated on the power behind names and to not give away their real names, so Makoto goes as Queen and Sae with her title as prosecutor/attorney or just as S.

Theres no much problem if Sae gives her name but with Makoto being a demon is way more dangerous due to how extremely powerful she is. If someone were to know Makotos real name they would be a ble to control her and her powers. Haru and Sae are the only ones who know her real name but wont ever use it like that (unless Sae goes corrupted which i still dont know how to include palaces in the AU).

As a demon Makoto is very powerful but she isn't very good at the whole being evil ordeal. As in canon she is a goody two shoes that has to learn to be less uptight.

Sae even though she is a fae and cant lie  still manages to work as an attorney. she is very good and is of course Makotos role model even if she sometimes lets her trickster side show.

 

Haru is a witch (Witches are human who make a deal selling their souls to demons in exhange for something)

Her father sold her to her rich fiancee to get money and strenghten the Okumura empire  but Haru's fiancee was abusive and her father didnt care . Haru's life was hell until she learned of witchcraft.

She gave her sould to a demon (either Makoto or someone else) in exchange for power to get away from her situation.

Her punishment as part of the deal was to outlive all her loved one thus ending up alone and never being loved but she manages to bend the rules around by befriending immortal beings (if makoto wasnt the demon who Haru sold her soul to then she was accidentally summoned by Haru and becomes her first friend and later her girlfiend).

She kills her fiancee but the fate of her father is unknown. Anyway she outlasts every member of her family, as everybody dies (due to her punishment), and becomes the last member of the Okumura household inheriting all of her father's fortune.

Between her own power as a witch and the magic Makoto lends her she is really powerful, capable of even doing necromancy, one of the most difficult arts.

Thinks that Makoto going by the nickname of Queen is very cute so she starts going by Noir and thats how she is known in the magical community. Eventually all the PT adopt this cutom and come up with their aliases.

 

Akira's, Morgana's, Makoto's and Haru's ages are unknown but they are the oldest.

Then come Ann, Yusuke, Ryuji, Goro, Shiho and Futaba.

 

Goro Akechi. 20 years old human vampire hunter extraordinaire.

Japan's prince hunter. He is an extremely skilled and famous hunter adored by everyone. In reality works for Shido, the puppetmaster pulling the strings behind every police force including the hunters, who tasks him with killing anyone who opposes him. Believes he is helping with his political career only to destroy him later because as in canon knows he is his dad.

He is actually a half vampire and doesnt know it.

 

Shido is actually a vampire lord, a very old vampire that used to be a witch and turned into a vampire seeking both more power and to escape from the end of his deal, an early demise.

He heard a rumor about half vampires being stronger than any creature and having none of the vampire weakneses thanks to their human side so he forced himself onto Akechi's mother (and many other women) to have a child who he could control. Akechi is the only offspring that survived but believing him to be too weak for his goals and a dissappointment Shido threw him  and his mother aside.

Akechi's mother knew about Shido's secret but died before she could reveal it.

Notes:

So?
What do you think?

As I said I really ended up loving this au so much that even though I had planned to write just a one shot, just this scene I couldn't help myself and ended up coming with backstories for everyone and this AU is so fleshed I could actually write more for it.

Who knows? Maybe I'll do it one day.

But in the meantime because i dont want to let it hide in the shadows where only I could see it like I've been doing these months I am going to post my notes/references for this au and things that happen but wasnt able to include in this one shot in the next chapter in case you are curious and want to see what else I have planned for this.

I just wanna make clear that this doesn't mean I'm leaving this au open for adoption. If you want to write or do something with whats left of this this AU I cannot stop you and actually encourage you to do so but give credit where credit is due. I would love to know if my work has inspired others.

Another thing that makes me hesitate to post it it's because while I write for me and for my own happiness first, that's doesnt mean the lack of validations doesn't affect me. It leaves a bittersweet feeling and I specially dont want that for this.
I hold this Au dear to me and I would love to see it being as appreciated as I do so if you read this and liked it please *let me know*

If Im coming off as an entitled person.... sorry-not-sorry

Again hope you enjoy it. You can find me on tumblr as nie7027.

Thank you for reading. I wish you happy holidays and some semblance of peace in this crazy year.
