LES MIS DnD AU (Vox Machina Style)

THIS AU IS ONLY VOX MACHINA OR MIGHTY NEIN STYLE - THINK OF IT AS A DND UNIVERSE IN GENERAL

I think of this story as kind of Journey to the West or Wizard of Oz - a group of companions with different personalities (a balanced party) going on a quest (likewise, leaving their homeland in the East to find some sacred texts in the West). Also a lot of inspiration from the Holy Grail mythos (especially, but not only, the Monty Python versions!). This is actually a fanfic epic written by Courf in the Hogwarts AU El semen de los ahorcados!

At first only the Main Five are on that quest, being chosen by the gods to find the Sacred Texts, then I'll add Marius, Éponine, and other secondary characters who don't join the party (Ranger Éponine and her little brother Gavroche are guest star party members). Their main characterizations are from El semen de los ahorcados (Hogwarts AU) and from Eleven Moons Duology (Aritsar AU), but in a DnD universe. 

Same pairings as always: Enjoltaire, Courferre, Éposette, etc. Like in these other AUs, characters from other universes like Count Jean de Satigny, Eugénie Danglars and Louise d'Armilly, Éloïse de Villefort, even Josuke, Koichi, and Okuyasu... and many others will show up.

THE CORE FIVE

Enjolras / Paragon Enjolras: human paladin, only child from a very conservative and religious family. Aroace... or is he? Takes up the role of Tripitaka, being the pure-hearted leader who is given the quest in a vision by the gods

Combeferre / Jules-François Combeferre: halfling artificer, quite the Renaissance person (alchemist, gunsmith, electrician, robot maker, you name it). Takes up the role of Sha Wujing (Sandy, the merman), being the most level-headed, though he can give in under pressure. One of the four chosen guardians.

Courfeyrac / Sejanus Cassio de Courfeyrac: catboy (nekomata) rogue/ninja, from a noble family but now a Goliard on the fringes of the law (personality-wise, somewhat like Naruto mixed with Josuke), Combeferre's matesprit. Like Nepeta Leijon, speaks in kitty puns (says for instance "mew" instead of "you"). Takes up the role of Sun Wukong (Monkey King), being the trickster who questions authority and tricks everyone, on a redemption quest - used to be the King of Thieves, but lost his throne on a bet against Montparnasse, and is now a mercenary. One of the four chosen guardians.

Grantaire / René "Grand R": half-elf half-human Cobalt Soul monk/drunken master (lots of inspiration from both Okuyasu and Rock Lee), also a Goliard, Enj's matesprit (though at first Enj won't realize it). Expelled from his order for breaking his vow of chastity. Takes up the role of Zhu Wuneng (Pigsy), being the most self-indulgent member of the party. Another mercenary. One of the four chosen guardians.

Jehanne Prouvaire: elf bard, only child, trans girl, modest offstage but flamboyant on stage, more of a Celtic bard vibe. Takes up the role of Yulong (Dragon Horse) more or less, being the most modest yet the most powerful member, whose magic is only used as a last resort. Also for being gender fluid (Yulong turns more than once into a human woman to seduce/distract opponents). The last of the four chosen guardians.

MINOR CHARACTERS.

Éponine Thénardier: half-drow ranger, dragon rider, guest star party member - in unrequited love with Cosette ('tis a pity she's straight...)

Gavroche Thénardier: youngest of the Thénardiers and team pet (somehow), fully human... or so it seems. Is also a hybrid, though it doesn't manifest until puberty

Azelma Thénardier: the middle child, aspiring rogue, fully human. Becomes Montparnasse's right-hand woman and partner, the Queen of Thieves

Bahorel: berserker, human

Henriette: berserker, dwarf, Bahorel's partner

Jo-Lee: human alchemist/healer, hypochondriac

Lesgles "Bossuet": human (black) necromancer

Musichetta: half-elf bard, more of a classical musician vibe than Jehanne Prouvaire (with Lesgles and Jo-Lee, these three form a trio of mercenaries)

Marius Pontmercy: half-elf scholar (translator) and gunslinger, raised by his human aristocratic maternal family, rediscovering his elven heritage. The kouhai/maknae of most characters.

Cosette: half-elf cleric, raised in a convent. Very conscious of breaking her religious vows. In love with Marius (and vice versa: they even become fiancés)

Jean Valjean: human druid, Cosette's stepfather/guardian, gardener

Étienne Javert: half-drow paladin, Valjean's partner, Cosette's other stepdad

Montparnasse / Caractacus Montparnasse: blue-skinned tiefling (half-oni) rogue, "King of Thieves," Éponine's ex and Enj's kismesis
