Hello Hello! :D
So, recently I came up with an Omori au which is centered around the three great creatures!! I guess I’m gonna be calling it the the three guardians au??
So, the general idea of it is that the three of them initially were tasked with helping Sunny be happy, and have his childhood be a good one. They were all initially created as imaginary friends, but once Sunny met The Gang ™ they gained another function, also being there to help shape his dreams and make them nice so he sleeps well.
The room that they’re in is some kind of meeting room that they all go to, one that Sunny can’t see into and doesn’t have access to. They move here when Sunny is awake through the many doors that only they can go into, and plan and come up with ideas for additions to the dreams, based on things that Sunny takes interest in in the waking hours of the day!! If you were wondering why their designs are more humanoid/smaller, its because they would change their forms to be able to go into the room easier.
As for little tid bits of the designs and little backstories:
Cat: A mascot that Sunny saw a lot on various items during his childhood, including the calendar in the treehouse. It brought comfort to Sunny because he likes cats a lot. In the room, his form definitely shrinks a lot. Also, he never blinks, and stares kind of ominously a lot. While he likes and cares for the other guardians, his loyalty is STRICTLY with the Dreamer.
Humphrey: Obviously, based upon the book Hungry Humphrey that can be found in the hikkikomori route. Probably a book that Mari read to Sunny a lot when she was learning to read and he was very very young. The first imaginary friend and guardian to be created. As for his design in the au, I thought it would be interesting to base it off of a potential sailor that was present in the book, tying the design to the character a bit more. When it comes to attitude, he’s similar to how he is in game to where he is a bit lighthearted at times, likes making jokes and rhyming things out of nowhere, but he’s definitely different in the fact that he’s definitely not a “parasite within himself” yet. He’s much more stable I guess? Mostly because this au is more a prologue, and as the au progresses this absolutely changes. For relationships with the other guardians, he really cares about Abbi, but the Cat kind of unsettles him sometimes.
Abbi: Taking much more creative liberty with Abbi, I decided that she should be based off of something that Mari and Sunny shared, a board game. I don’t know the specifics, but Abbi was based off of an octopus mascot of a trivia based board game that Mari really enjoyed, usually making Sunny and their parents play along with them. This is why Abbi looks slightly similar to Mari, seeming as the board game was more of something that was important to Mari, but Sunny cared so much about the time spent during it and with Mari that Abbi just kind of turned out that way. For a little design quirk, the tentacles look like they do in the main part of headspace, however when they are shrouded in darkness, just like every part of her, will look more like it does when she’s stuck in the Abyss. When it comes to how she acts, she’s very caring, but kind of blunt and a bit rude. Either way she loves and cares about the other three guardians and Sunny probably the most out of all of them.
ANYWAY that’s it!! I have many more ideas for this au, including comics and little doodles I wanna do but yeah! I hope you all like it!
