Riseagainst-theodds

riseagainst-theodds is an ask/rp/art blog for an AU-specific Fawful (Known as Rise!Fawful) created by victor-volt (Known as Ani on their mun page, refers to themselves as fawf-mun.)

The blog began on August 19th, 2015, as a spur-of-the-moment blog inspired by Ani's best friend, who also runs a Fawful blog. They had been pinging ideas back and forth, spawning from one image to a whole universe where Fawful was actively trying to change his ways. While the blog's main feature is Rise!Fawful, Ani has also been trying to get character development and asks for Rise!Midbus and Mechletta, an OC created by Ani. (In Rise!Fawful's lore, Mechletta is the conversion of Fawful's headgear.)

The Rise!AU
The Rise!AU, according to Ani, takes place 10 years after the events of Bowser's Inside Story. A currently-unknown force revives Fawful, giving him four mechanical arms. The force was unable to save Fawful's now-stitched eye, and as such he wears glasses to help it work, as well as hide his real eyes from the public. After Fawful was resurrected, he vowed to not be evil. Each muse Ani has within the Rise!AU has a personality of their own.

Rise!Fawful (the main muse)
Rise!Fawful, as stated above, vowed to change his ways after the unknown force resurrected him. He is depicted as an 18-year-old Beanish, residing in Plack Beach, in a home that once belonged to Kuzzle, a character from Bowser's Inside Story (who had died in the 10 years between that game and the AU's beginning). His four mechanical arms are metal, with colored middle fingers. He can be childish at times, though he tries his best to be mature. Though not explicitly stated, he has made hints about himself and Rise!Midbus being in a romantic relationship. In his journal entries, he'll sometimes make crass jokes when talking about events around his life or about the other muses that interact with him.

Rise!Midbus
Rise!Midbus is quite similar to his canon counterpart in Bowser's Inside Story, aside from the fact he hides a sweet side, usually described by Fawful as "The sweetest person Fawful has ever been knowing." Not much else is known about him, other than the fact he often goes to meditate on Plack Cliff. Mechletta calls him "Papa Middy," possibly spawning from Fawful's affectionate nickname for him.

Mechletta
Mechletta, in the Rise!AU, is the conversion of Fawful's headgear, since his mechanical arms allow him to fly. What Mechletta does is unknown, but she tends to be the most childish of the three, always curious about the world around her. The reason Fawful named her Mechletta is unknown as of right now. Mechletta cares quite a bit for Fawful, often turning up when he's injured.
