yall. YALL. go read this wonderful fic I recently got into called The Density of Fog where deku is shirakumo’s brother and ANGST GOES ON. (It’s in aizawa’s pov too so eXTRA ANGST W A DASH OF DADZAWA FOR SPICE).
What would power ups/redesigns for cannon heroes like Chat Noir, Rena Rouge, and Carapace look like?
I don’t dislike Rena Rouge’s design aside from the bustier/corset thing, but it doesn’t really feel “Alya” to me. Since “Flashback” would be instrumental in investigations, I looked at cartoon P.I. and detective outfits, thus, the trench coat look. I think this kind of power upgrade would be good in a story with a good Lila/Volpina vs Alya/Rena Rouge storyline going on.
I got a little less creative with Carapace’s power lol. The premise of how my power ups work is that they’re born from a moment - a moment of desperation, anguish, the need for a solution. I can picture a moment where all the heroes are pinned down and a poor civilian, maybe Alya, maybe Chris, has been thrust into the Seine and are unable to keep afloat. In this moment, Carapace’s desperation to save them manifests in “Undertow”, allowing him to encase the person safely in a bubble of water and float them out of danger.
