I don't know if you have been asked this before, or if you tweeted it about such an idea once, but: What races do you think the alnst main cast would be if they were in Arknights?

i swear i did say smth about this before but i can’t find it so let’s go alien stage arknights

Sua can only be a bunny this is obvious
…what else to say. Maybe she’s infected (but she’s hiding it. very well… so far. Since she’s an idol and revealing that would be a huge scandal
Suppose a bunny idol already exists in ak but that one is racefaking so this is original concept trust

mizi… hmm? She is the jellyfish princess
which would make her aegir
definitely wouldn’t be an Iberian aegir though
Somehow im reminded of Purestream in rewinding breeze, when thorns mentioned how he was treated and she was like… oh wow… um it’s not like that in yan…
She has that energy?? mgjfjdjf

But also what if she was from aegir
I guess I should look at path of life for proper context but I don't wanna do that
I know aegir has its own problems but idk… I can imagine mizi as some naive ambassador aegir sends out (expecting nothing from her)
And you know the nation closest to aegir other than iberia is. That’s right. rim billiton bunny country here’s how mizisua can win (???) (Also this is debatable geography but eh close enough)

Somewhat typical plot… sua offers mizi a place to stay in rim billiton (ig she’s on break from touring)
then randomly collapses from oripathy at some point (which mizi is barely even familiar with) so mizi starts running around looking for help…
(Do idols exist in rim billiton? I guess they do now)

Ok till is like canonically a sad wet cat but idc he’s not being feline. He should be zalak. Do you see my vision
like a shrew or wait. HEDGEHOG
spiky and tiny and cute. I’m so smart
(Do we really not have a hedgehog op already?? Or even porcupine… strange)
Also obviously he’s infected he can’t win

Kinda wanna throw him in kazimierz where he gets to suffer in infected knightsports
yeah wait this works well… managed by some knightclub that treats him like shit and he hates listening to them too but he’s obviously a terror in the ring so they keep him. (just realized the pun on nightclub how did it take this long bye)

Problem is I can’t exactly figure out why he’d put up with it… sure this is the only way he can pay for for his healthcare (his case is pretty severe) but it doesn’t seem like the risk of death would stop him from running away (since here he has nothing keeping him). But I like the idea of him being a competition knight so suspend your disbelief a bit please (I guess I should invent a reason to keep him… maybe for the sake of some other infected he ended up watching over.. why am I thinking so hard….)

And then ivan! is a puppy
Which could work but… what if he was a bigger puppy. lupo
I mean they already joke about unsha being some mafia type
Since he has no free will he’s gotta be a Fang right??
If this sounds suspiciously similar to something I said before uhhh ignore that (doubt anyone remembers but me anyw)

Though I don't know how to get him out of that situation… um… maybe he actually just. wins the round he’s in. He’s so good at murder 👍
then he’s just left “free” and has no fucking idea what to do. so he leaves Siracusa and wanders… (gestures above) you can guess where this is going ehe

…but this kind of just ignores the whole mafia thing?? I want him to be a heir to one of the famiglia too… surely both of these can work at the same time
And yeah even as the heir he still just fucks off. he’s like that
Imagine the concept of all his fans—I mean uhhh subordinates trying to find out where the hell their boss went and then he’s on tv. The tv that they get through delivered videotapes months late dmfndjf ah terra worldbuilding

(The concept of a former Fang becoming a competition knight because all they know is how to be a part of a game of fighting others to the death—well not death anymore but still. The similarities?? wait maybe this is kinda cooking
wonder what the chances of ak doing smth like this is)

Luka’s obviously gotta be sankta so naturally hyuna and her brother get to be sarkaz
imagine something similar to raimund and fortuna’s situation… well not really
Luka’s just a lost sankta in kazdel maybe
except luka actually ends up selling out hyuna to get into laterano. Maybe the… uh whatever part of the govt oren belongs to I kinda forgot… but they kill hyunwoo and get hyuna’s leg. Shes not having a great time

(hmm kazdel isn’t too far from rim billiton… needless to say hyuna being a sarkaz would be infected… hmmmm
but kazimierz sure is far
if im just running with this let’s say ivan ends up getting pulled back to Siracusa (obviously he doesn’t win the major… let’s have some dramatic ivan vs till fight where they both get disqualified. It can be cool in my head)
and ???somehow drags till back with him. Ok now they’re close enough. (…is different countries really close enough??)
But then I guess he also needs to find till a new doctor. or you could say Doctor (lol

I mean everyone here except luka ends up looking for oripathy treatment so… Rhodes island is the natural destination for all these plotlines. And luka can just be part of the laterano govt which RI has to collaborate with. there. Plot!!
(Wait if they go back to RI ig there’s no reason for ivan and till to go back to siracusa. Except for the roadtrip bonding of course

Did you ask for plot not even a little bit
but I can’t not ramble…
