Description

Time to intoduce you one of The Scavengers' side characters - starting out with his AU version)
Canon version: Wolffish lore

I don’t think many people here are familiar with The Magnus Archives, so I'll give you a quick lore rundown (only stuff that's important to the AU).
If put super briefly, this world has 14-15 (nominal) Fear entities that take the forms of avatars, monsters, objects and locations. Avatars are people (or, if we talk about AU, dragons) who have received special abilities due to their connection with some kind of Fear. They retain relative independence, but lose some of their humanity (the effect varies from individual to individual), and to maintain physical well-being, they need to "feed" the entity that gives them powers - bringing more corresponding fear into the world.
An example of such an essence: the fear of madness and lies is often called the Spiral and is associated with the symbolism of spirals, doors, labyrinths and geometric illusions.

“Fish” (kept only a part of the old name because he thinks it’s funny) is a Spiral avatar, Distortion. Several years ago, Varan was given the opportunity to lessen Distortion’s threat by tying his most loyal team member to it. This dragon knew that he would not return the same, but agreed anyway (in short, for those who are familiar with TMA - almost the same as in canon, but with a much more informated consent).
Ally is a strong word here, but he doesn’t bother the gang members and sometimes even carries out Varan’s orders if they don’t run counter to his interests.

“Fish” doesn’t remember much of his former life, but he knows how he treated two dragons: Varan, his former leader, and Newt, with whom he was once close. ...However, memories of old friendship did not prevent him from giving Newt the worst week (at that time) of his life when he was imprisoned on his territory.

Now “Fish” often visits the surviving Morticians and even hides their location from Varan - he is too investested in what chaos this trio can wreak in the world to care about his former leader's wishes.

The plot of the AU is very different from the main story, so I want to talk about it in more detail in the future. I don't have to fear for any spoilers here, it's just a really fun side project that I don't take too seriously. In general, I really like to look at characters from other sides; it even helps to write the main story quite well!

(I’ll talk about what chewed Newt later)

Honestly, I'm kinda nervious about posting about this AU here, even though I really enjoy sketching out ideas for it. I know that it'll mostly get ignored, but I'm trying to get over my fear of sharing the things I love besides my usual stuff, so I'm pressing on :"3
