THE BUFFYVERSE AU MEME

CONTENT WARNING for vampires, violence, magic, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1 - Post a comment with your character's name and canon.
2 - Be sure to write how your character is AUed into the Buffyverse.
3 - Comment around to others and play threads!
4 - Use Random.Org if you get stuck for ideas.

On the surface, it's just like our modern world. TV, spray tans, toddler pageants and iPhones. But under that seethes the world's best-kept secret: magic. Vampires, werewolves, demons and ghosts. And the Slayer -- one girl in each generation Chosen to fight the demons of the night.

WHO ARE YOU?
1 - SLAYER. You're the girl herself. The Chosen One who fights evil, for the safety of all humankind.
2 - WATCHER. Keepers of wisdom, and guardians and protectors of the Slayers and potential Slayers.
3 - HUMAN. Ignorant bystander? Or are you in on the secret?
4 - WITCH. You're skilled in the ways of magic. Maybe drifted into it through Wicca, maybe raised to sorcery or necromancy.
5 - A VAMPIRE. You're a creature of the night. Vulnerable to sunlight, fire, beheading and stakes, burned by holy water and crosses. You drink blood. Oh, yeah: and you have no soul. Evil is your business, though a vestige of your mortal personality might remain.
6 - A WEREWOLF. Turned into a wolf the three days around the full moon, burned by silver. Or maybe you've learned to control your animalistic side, and found a way to turn at will.
7 - GOD. All-powerful, and looking for humans to enslave.
8 - OTHER.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
1 - THE APOCALYPSE. It's the end of the world. Are you destroying it or saving it?
2 - NEW KID IN TOWN. You just rolled into town. Looking for trouble? Well, too bad; looks like trouble's finding you anyway.
3 - HUNTING. Looking for prey? Or are you looking for the predators?
4 - CAPTURE. One of you is locked up. Vampire in a cage? Human ready to become food? Werewolf snatched by animal control?
5 - SHOWDOWN. Time to fight the big bad.
6 - THE COVER STORY. You're involved in something magical, and you have to explain it to the rest of the world.
7 - DAILY LIFE. Everyday life. Going to high school, the supermarket, video marathon. Even the small things can be magical.
8 - OTHER.

katniss everdeen ➴ the hunger games

[74]

( SLAYER. the most reluctant and rebellious slayer to ever live. fuck the watcher's council. the big bad of the season is of course, president snow. )

SURPRISE c: (also 3)

[65]

[finnick's just doing his initiative thing, looking for monsters to bag and tag and whatevs in some cemetery when he runs into katniss. as soon as he sees it's her, some of the tenseness leaves his posture -- yeah, he may have thought she was a vampire or something for a minute there. IT WAS DARK jfc.]

We just keep running into each other.

charles xavier ✖ x-men: first class

[psychic]

( WATCHER. very british, very intelligent, and very idealistic. tends to know a lot about the occult, and really enjoys musty old books. and old-man cardigans. )

2

[highlyintuitive]

[ After River's last Watcher retired (badly wounded, no longer capable of providing support and wanted out before he was actually killed). So congratulations Charles, you're now stuck with a somewhat mentally cracked slayer as your charge. ]

peter parker | the amazing spider man

[bioengineering]

( WEREWOLF. peter was your average teenaged science nerd until he was bitten by a radioactive spider a crazy wolf. now he keeps it a secret from everybody else and is trying to learn how to control his changes. )

Ianto Jones | Torchwood

[coffeeboy]

[Cutest Watcher or cutest Watcher? Totally. He's not a stuffy old stick in the mud, don't worry. Knowledgeable about the things that go bump in the night, and not really fond of the rules. Shhh, don't tell the Council.]

finnick odair / the hunger games

[65]

[human; part of the initiative. he got involved in some gladiator fighting ring shit like that one episode of angel, but the initiative busted that shit and rescued him and now he works for them. and goes to uc-sunnydale and acts all miss mary sunshine the sex god-like.]

[slay]

[ buffy has just taken the opportunity to slay a cult of demons who had been using a condemned frat house on the university campus as a squatting pad and home base for their cult-y business, which today was ritual bordering on the apocalyptic.

which, unfortunately, leaves her alone in the empty frat house with all the materials for said culty ritual including a whole lot of smeared blood on the walls when the corpses of the demons dissolve into the concrete where the floor's been entirely torn away.

lights come on as the initiative storms the place, flooding like a football field, and buffy lowers the sacrificial dagger -- the demon's -- that she'd used to kill them, eyes wide. ]

... I don't suppose this would be a good time for a failsafe like "these aren't my pants" or maybe "I'm holding it for a friend"?

james buchanan barnes | mcu

[wwii]

( vampire, turned during the second world war by soviet forces and conditioned into becoming their operative for the next seventy years. re-ensouled in 2010 by idk someone, angel-style, but happy to do soulless too. definitely still kills people, either way. )

1 - 3, ensouled if you please!

[widowing]

[ natasha's on patrol, though you wouldn't think it to look at her. her various weapons are tucked away on her person (in her jacket, up her sleeve, strapped to her thigh) in the form of holy water, stakes, and a knife with an extra-sharp blade. her stride is unassuming, or would be were it not for the late hour and the fact that her path strays towards the cemetery more often than not, something that would be picked up on by anyone paying close enough attention.

she knows that at least one soul out there will be. ]

natasha romanoff | marvel cinematic

[atoner]

( INITIATIVE OPERATIVE. a regular human trained from an early age by covert parts of the government to fight the undead. )

Willow Rosenberg| BtVS | OTA

[unweeping_willow]

[She's a canon AU. DX From Wishverse - where Buffy never came to sunnydale, the town was pretty much taken over by the Master, and Willow was one of the strongest vampires about.]

elizabeth shaw | prometheus

[invited]

( watcher. hopped the pond to pursue her insatiable interest in hellmouths, the old ones, and the origins of mankind. more interested in that than she is in the slayer, honestly. )

Katniss Everdeen | The Hunger Games | ota

[mockhero]

[ Slayer who works with a bow. Not the friendliest to any Watchers around. ]

Meg Masters | Supernatural

[bitch_is_back]

[She's a demon, of course! Come at her, bro!]

Loki Odinson / MCU / modern AU, details on profile

[blots]

[ He's the big bad villain and also definitely a vampire your Watcher, who's just super-helpful and totally on your side and ready to rescue you at any time. ]

let's go patrolling maybe.

[ungentle]

[Late night, but it's been a fairly tame one so far. A couple of vamps, nothing special.]

au!loki | mcu

[dottir]

( old one. one of the first demons, resurrected from the deeper well by a final follower and now trapped inside the body of a once dear sister whose soul her essence destroyed completely in supplanting. )

gaila | star trek xi

[pheromones]

( a demon whose pheromones charm men and induce headaches in women. keen and green and just going about her neutral business. )

Re: gaila | star trek xi

[feels_manly]

[Every body knows Spike; innitative's pet; does what needs doing. Saves the day when the slayer's too busy.

Yada yada...

The smell catches him, making him frown - head tilting about.]

sean cassidy | xmfc

[screaming]

( a fucking werewolf and pretty darn okay with it. howling not restricted to full moons. )

6-2 8V

[tolaywaste]

[ The first time Alex turned he did some damage. Didn't kill anybody, just ran straight through a glass storefront, knocked over every display in the place, and ran through the other window on the way out. The cops found him naked and concussed outside the next morning, arrested him for vandalism and being kind of weird. He got away with community service, but a change of scenery? Probably helpful for adjustment. ]

[ So he walks into town with swag he doesn't really feel, torn between blending in and kicking up a fuss. He spends money he doesn't have on 'can I be your roommate' ads, and when he finally gets a bite he's down to twenty bucks and a pocket full of pennies. ]

[ He goes to the coffee shop this guy said he was gonna be at and sits by the window, watching everybody who walks in. ]

natasha romanoff » mcu

[widowing]

[ either a slayer or a vampire, let me know if you want one or the other. ]

vampires - 8: training

[hulkish]

Are. Are you sure this is necessary? [ peers over the ledge skeptically. ]

Claudia Donovan | Warehouse 13

[customizer]

[ HUMAN, but part of the Initiative. Excellent with weaponry of all sorts, but she's more prone to experiment with the weapons than actually fight with them. ]

*Flails, wrong one*

[hungryanhorny]

[So here's Faith; the chosen one. The one and only slayer, and the rightful protector of Sunnydale - and she finds out this government's in her town.

What's a girl gonna do?]

Knock knock.



ooc: It was this, or the lost!Slayer verse, where Buffy is captured for five years, and Faith spends 4 and a half of them kicking butt (after waking up from her coma) as the only slayer game in town. But becomes ultra militaristic and disciplined in the process, to the point where Buffy is thought of as the wild child.

...Also, Willow's in charge, and the inniative are working under her (as is the council.) Not OFFICIALLY, but that's pretty much how it goes.

mal / discworld

[disbenefits]

[ ensouled vampire. mm, livestock blood. ]

Re: mal / discworld

[unweeping_willow]

Heard there was a new one in town,. [There's a small smirk on Willow's face, as she studies this one.]

River Tam | Firefly

[highlyintuitive]

[ Slayer. And a none too stable one at that. Encounters with vampires and demons have splintered her mind enough that she has trouble dealing with everyday life. ]

Re: River Tam | Firefly

[unweeping_willow]

Willow growls lightly beneath her throat, stepping forward; she's heard of this one. The less stable slayer... Heard about it, and was now walking straight fo rher; a small smile on her lips.

heather | american idiot (musical)

[rockand]

[WITCH. Her powers manifested when she was in high school and she learned under her father's guidance. Good-hearted. Dark ones know of her powers and long to corrupt her. }

Eliot Spencer - Leverage

[retrieverchef]

Child of two vampires - He's had his share of identity issues as the souled son of two soulless beings. He tried being evil for a while as a result and found that he couldn't live with what that involved. At this point, he's mostly trying to mind his own business and keep off everyone's radar which doesn't always work so well since he enjoys a good fight.

Mary Rose Grey ☕ Original Character

[something_sweet]

( WITCH. This time her cakes really are magical. )

Faith | BTVS | OTA

[hungryanhorny]

[Slayer; for the sake of fun, let's say she's replaced Buffy as the main slayer in town. :| ]

Dawn | BtVS | OTA

[opens_nothing]

[Dawn is going to be a slayer, here; because it amuses me, and stuffs. DX And because it makes sense, if they made her out of Buffy, that she'd have the same potentials as Buffy. No matter what canon says. :P]
