Miraculous: Paon Royale AU

Miraculous: Paon Royale AU

I love thinking of Miraculous AUs, but I'm also indecisive. I don't really think I'm good at making these things and soon after I post'em they look bad to me. Even if my writing is good, I look back at it and cringe. But, I think I like this one. This is the Paon Royale AU.

 Major Change: The major alteration of this AU is that Hawkmoth doesn't have the Peacock or the Butterfly Miraculous. Instead, the Butterfly Miraculous was recovered by Fu and the Peacock Miraculous is being used by a mysterious evil miraculous holder. The identity of this holder will be kept secret for now, but the holder is related to the Agreste Family (but it isn't Gabriel or Felix).  Another major change is that Nathaniel is Marinette's childhood best friend, so Alya won't be Marinette's best friend here. A good friend, but not her best friend.

 Minor Changes:

➤ There will be a lot of Kwami Swaps. I thought about how other characters would look and act with different Miraculouses and abilities. A lot of information won't be given right now, but I'll get the obvious one out of the way. Nathaniel gets the Miraculous of the Fox. Alya won't get a Miraculous until Season 3 in this AU.

➤ The powers, weapons, and appearances of the Miraculouses will all be changed. I've had a lot of ideas for redesigned Miraculouses and they're pretty cool in my opinion. For example, Ladybug has two yoyos that look like actual yoyos instead of one yoyo that looks like a disc. Chat Noir has a staff with a wooden texture and two golden panther head shaped pommels.

➤ Marinette and Nathaniel will be a lot more confident because of being a lot closer than in the canon. Marinette won't be afraid to step up to Chloe and Nathaniel regularly tells off Sabrina.

➤ Sentimonsters will be much more humanoid. For example, Soundtrack (replacing Bubbler) will be a humanoid technological-being with a bubble wand where it's hand would be and a sound cannon where it's other hand would be. The Wild Diamond (replacing Animan) will simply be a diamond that controls all animals. Powerline (replacing Lady Wifi) will be a mass of sentient electric wires that manipulates technological objects.

➤ Chat Noir plays a bigger role in this AU. Because most if not all of the fanbase notices that in the canon, Chat is treated like a sidekick, not a partner.

➤ Gabriel does not need a Miraculous to be evil. Yeah, we're making him horrible. He's homophobic, mentally and emotionally abusive, blackmails a lot of people, and even hits Adrien when he steps too out of line. When Plagg sees this, he wants to Cataclysm Gabe on the spot, but he's got Adrien under his spell. Adrien blames himself and tells Plagg that it's his fault.

➤ Adrien blames himself for a lot of things in this AU because Gabriel convinced him that a lot of things are his fault. Plagg tries to tell the kid that some things aren't his fault, but he doesn't listen.

➤ Adrien is a closet bisexual and has a huge crush on Jean Duparc. He doesn't think what he has is a crush and is close friends with Jean. Plagg can tell though and hints at it, but Adrien is dense in this AU. Not as dense as in canon, but still dense.

➤ Marinette doesn't have a crush on Adrien in this AU because he apologized and cleared things up. She sees him as a close friend, and instead, she doesn't have a love interest until Luka. I ship Lukanette with all my heart.

➤ Since Ladybug and Chat Noir are going to have all these other powers, I realized that the Lucky Charm and Cataclysm will be kind of overshadowed. So, I thought of making them powerful and still a one time use. Ladybug can create whatever she wants with the Lucky Charm, and Chat Noir can create a sphere of destruction and aim his Cataclysm.

➤ I also had an idea of the Ladybug and Black Chat Miraculouses being able to create and destroy memories, but it's a risky power and they would need to be careful with it.
