[ this is gonna be like the first thing i posted about the umbrella academy au bc wow // song is by my chemical romance (it's like an extension of the beginning of na na na and i'm ashamed to say i think i could recite it from memory)

i just finished the killjoy comics yesterday and uh i'm ready for this tbh

warnings (for the actual au): language, violence, mentions of blood, gore, prostitution, etc

stay safe,

a while back, i used one of those name generator things and apparently my assigned killjoy name is 'cellophane exploder' which is kinda cool ig??

but yeah, let's run through things!!

there are two sides, the killjoys and better living industries (bl/ind). the killjoys live out in the desert, and bl/ind is in control of battery city.

the killjoys want creativity and freedom, and better living is fighting to keep control of everything, at least from what i understand.

lewis, logan, harry, and bailey- i almost wanna say that these guys should be the equivalent of the killjoys/ultra v's (the main group from the original material and the comics respectively). logan would be the leader, then the only other one i had an idea for would be bailey (if i follow the path of the comics) being the equivalent of the girl.

ezra- i have a feeling he would pretty much be korse, the bald man from the music videos?? korse is the head of the 'scarecrows', who take orders directly from the head of bl/ind, and they're expected to keep a steady kill count and avoid things like relationships and emotional attachments that could affect their ability to kill.

ronnie- i rlly don't wanna give stuff from the comics away but ronnie's storyline for this would directly intertwine with ezra's and it would almost follow the comics except it's sad in the comics and i don't wanna make it sad

chase- okay so in battery city, they've got a bunch of fuckin robots. and they've got 'porno droids' which are just robot prostitutes. i figure that chase would be one of those, but she's not like one of the expensive ones, she'd probably be the cheapest one (which is color coded blue)

idk y'all i mostly would need to work on codenames and outfit details for the killjoys as well as a main plot to attempt but i'm?? ready for this but at the same time afraid i'll fuck it up lmao

let me know if you'd wanna see this!!
