or, I lovingly dropkick the official timeline into mt ravatogh
> aulea and regis are still childhood acquaintances
> cor and aulea know each other because of their mothers
> regis's roadtrip is just cid babysitting child soldiers
> war on lucian continent goes on a lot fuckin longer than canon
> 98% of my galahdian headcanons come from the sun is out, the day is new
> aulea helps regis form a covenant with ramuh, weakening her considerably (why noct doesn't have siblings)
> maura is one of my comrades ocs and I love her (stronk tall bab with Issues)
> regis, even as a 19 year old, is a dad
> regis goes to galahd after the wall has been pulled back to help try and kick some of the niff's grip loose (where he meets kid nyx and libertus fighting and gets the idea for the kingsglaive)
> meanwhile insomnia riots bc mors is perhaps the most unpopular king ever and he gets murdered by a mob
> when noct is injured by the marilith, aulea goes with him to tenebrae
> so it's aulea who has to leave luna and ravus behind (she takes that personally)
> prompto gets rescued as a 4y.o. instead of an infant (for maximum ow)
> nyx, crowe, clarus, regis and aulea all survive kingsglaive (some in more pieces than others)
> crowe's body is actually a similar civilian, since crowe managed to get away (somehow, idk plot did it)
> cor doesn't fuckin know that regis survived - luna told him that she saw him die when glauca ran him through (aulea rezzed both clarus & regis with a megaphoenix
> aulea accidentally-on-purpose causes a massive lightning storm (hence the rain when noct & co roll up on crestholm the next day)
> nyx still has to put on the ring bc regis dying ended the link with the ring's magic for the kingsglaive
> the gang runs into luna the first time they try to get to the disc (prior to getting to lestallum and meeting up with iris) (she's trying to kickstart the covenant)
> noct gets the headaches anyway (turns out putting an oracle and the prophecied king close to titan will just Do That)
> gladio still bails to get Stronk after arriving at cape caem
> guess who's also at cape caem?? DAD AND MOM AND OTHER DAD (cue ugly fucking tears) (you can pull my hc of regis/aulea & clarus/serphina co-parenting their sprogs from my cold dead hands)
> also sprinkled through this is weird cryptid ardyn just showing up in various places
> game basically proceeds as normal until altissia occurs
> who the fuck knows how chapter nine goes down

> astrals gave magic to specific bloodlines
> ifrit's gift is red magic (crowe's mage abilities that saw her outcast, not actually affiliated with a particular family)
> shiva's gift was specific to a niflheimr family that was extinguished by the aldercapt family years ago
> ramuh tends to pick specific individuals, usually galahdians. it's not really something that the chosen families spread around (aulea ends up being a catalyst for regis's covenant with ramuh, and is technically then gifted with powers as a result)
> titan gives the gift of extreme endurance/strength and the ability to no-sell physical attacks for a limited amount of time (this is maura's family's ability.)
> the hydraean is a cagey bitch and no one knows if she's ever actually given.... anyone anything....
> bahamut stole eos's powers and split it in half (half to lucis caelum and half to nox fleuret)
> the ring spells are technically his, as is his ability to manipulate where souls go (i.e. powering up the armiger/royal arms by trapping souls of the lucii in the ring/crystal)
> hexatheon killed eos, but ifrit regretted it and took her 'heart' (the crystal) to mt ravatogh
> rest of hexatheon then betrayed ifrit, humanity sided with hexatheon, ifrit said FUCK ALL Y'ALL and created the starscourge
> shiva goes o fuk and essentially bullies bahamut into doing something, you idiot (hey shiva why don't you fight him)
> bahamut goes okay, let's try this, and gives one random solheim guy absorby-powers (technically bahamut's powers)
> this goes well and then it doesn't

> aw beans
> okay so now that he's 8000 daemons in a robe, ardyn can't die
> well let's try that another 35 times
> bahamut meanwhile fucks around with the crystal, ifrit goes OI STOP THAT, bahamut dunks ifrit into lava, yeets the crystal to somzunia, says 'hey this is yours now, you're king of light, demons are bad y'all, btw here's a prophecy about the accursed' and goes to chill in the beyond for 2000 years
