Chapter Text
Okay, so I already have a story that has this inside of it. But I’ll leave the prompt up so others can get the idea if they haven’t already thought of it.
I made this au because no matter how many times I went over the Miraculous Ladybug scenario I always came back to Hawkmoth winning with the Butterfly and Peacock.
In this au wielders of the Miraculous are able to get more than one power. Sure we have Miraculous Cure and Lucky Charm for Ladybug and Night Vision and Cataclysm for Cat Noir. But, it doesn’t quite feel right to me that their powers are limited to this and that they have to use outside items like potions and unification to get stronger. Plus, the fact that Lucky Charm has so many weaknesses like needing to actually yell it out.
For this au I have multiple options for you.
1) Allow the holders to choose what powers they want.
Example
Lila: Oh there’s a power that will allow me to manipulate anyone’s mind, I’ll take that one. I still get another power choice after that, awesome.
2) Allow the kwami to choose what powers they think are best for the holder.
Example
Tikki: So you wish to become a fashion designer. I have the perfect power for you. It will allow you to manipulate the magic around your costume to give it various different effects. It also changes the costumes designs.
3) Have the powers given to the wielder be chosen at random from a vast collection.
Example
Adrien: Alright, what am I going to get as my sick powers?
Plagg: Careful kid. My ring usually gives out some pretty dangerous stuff.
Adrien: Oh how bad could it be?
Black Cat Miraculous Automated Voice: Powers selected for the three open slots.
Automated Voice: Cataclysm, the ability to turn anything you touch into ash.
Automated Voice: Plague, the ability to create a sickness ranging from normal sickness symptoms to magical affects such as turning the target to stone.
Automated Voice: Nine Lives, The ability to reset a Miraculous Power or timer nine times before needing to transform.
Plagg: I tried to warn you.
4) Or the Miraculous itself automatically give it’s new wielder different powers based on their personality.
Example
Rabbit Miraculous: Abilities set to match Alix Kubdel’s personality.
Rabbit Miraculous: Ability One, Speed Up, allows user to move at incredible speeds.
Alix: Sweet, no one will ever catch me then. Beat that Kim.
Rabbit Miraculous Ability Two, Rabbit Hole, Allows user to create a portal in the ground to appear in a area of their choosing.
Alix: Oh, no one is going to catch my pranks now.
Rabbit Miraculous Ability Three, Rewind, Allows user to rewind back to a certain point in time.
Alix: Hello straight A’s and dad getting off my back.
You can combine these power idea’s if you want or just go with one of the four options and/or another option you thought of.
Users of the Miraculous can get more powers by passing various tests set by whoever you want. It could be the Guardians, Kwami, past holders, or even the Creator Of The Miraculous appearing in spiritual form.
They can also gain new powers by developing them. These powers can use one of their original powers as a base before evolving it further until it turns into a different power.
Example
Heracles with the Ladybug. After defeating the Hydra and surviving the venom he saw how potent it could be. So, using Lucky Charm as a base, he develops a power that will allow him to create different poisons to fight with.
If anyone does use this au after reading this prompt. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, I WOULD LOVE TO READ THAT STORY!
