Eius' Fanon/Main

Hi and welcome to my Fanon. I have been obsessed with Monster High since 2012 and this obsession is still going strong today! I have created 98 fan characters, one fan species and have written a number of fanfictions about them. Because of that I have quite an elaborate fanon going on, and I am going to give you a short overview here. Take a look around!

## Fanon

I like to keep things as CLOSE to the canon as possible, which is why I try to follow the rules of the Monster High universe. Naturally I extended it here and there a little, but it's nothing too crazy, I guess? Be the judge yourself.

### Monster High School

"My" Monster High is the Monster High pre reboot, so it is NOT a boarding school with the students living there as well. However, "my" Monster High does accommodate *some* of my students. Namely, all of those that also originated there and/or don't have another place to stay:

* **Clayden Bedrock:** A Golem once only thought of as a statue as part of the decor that has recently been re-activated by someone unknown.
* **Crystalline Orbit:** An alien that crash-landed on earth right in the school's yard. She is looking for her lost pet and is staying at Monster High for the time being.
* **Djinny Wishley:** A Djinn. Her magic lamp was mistaken for a trophy Monster High won in the distant past. She was only recently summoned by the Wraith Twins.
* **Lilith Wires:** An Android and Monster High's over glorified data center. She's providing the school's Wi-Fi - among other things - until she wasn't due to her own battery running low. That's when a group of students discovered her sitting in the "haunted" comms room.
* **Morph:** A student's science project that was thought of as failed and disposed off as it was just an amorphous mass that also didn't have come to live right away.

Whether the MH staff is aware of them or not, I haven't decided yet. I like to think they aren't. At least not yet.

### Timeline

While I try to be as close to the canon as possible - concerning the universe's rules, I try to stay away from canon characters as far as possible. I will never create FCs related to canons, I will never claim that my FCs have relationships with canons and if I mention a canon, I treat them more like a legend from the past. And that's the cue: My fanon takes place AFTER the first generation canon (and ignores most of the reboot stuff, at least so far). The only canon characters I will use frequently, are the school's staff: the headmistress, teachers and so on. However, I do not see my fanon as "next generation" because that, in my understanding, would indicate that there are relationships to canons involved. I'd consider it more as a "generation x" in that regard.

However, I have no problem with creating relationships to other people's FCs that have relationships to canon characters, but I will ignore said relationships completely in my narrative. And as for characters related to canons...well, they don't fit my fandom's narrative, so they are out completely, sorry.

#### Canon Plots I slightly changed

##### Belfry Prep/Crescent Moon High merger with Monster High

In my Fanon these schools did not merge with Monster High and are, thus, still existing. Instead, these schools simply faced a capacity issue and were forced by the **Skullastic Superintendents** to outsource one class each to Monster High, not with any intentions of a merger. These Monster High Class students are still officially enrolled in Belfry Prep and Crescent Moon High respectively, just attending their classes in the Monster High school building, For their school specific classes they have teachers of their school come by, for everything else they have been split up and spread across existing Monster High classes. It is rumored, that both schools sent their strongest students to show off, as both schools view themself and are viewed as elite schools and they want to keep that image alive. On a sidenote, Crescent Moon High is not limited to Werewolves, but were-creatures in general.

**Why did I change it?** I've decided to do this so that I have some ongoing conflict that makes for easier character development and world building imo and, hopefully, also helps with some interesting story-telling.

The Character(s) that instigated/inspired this change are Maurice Bloodborne and the introduction of *The Bloody Mary* and *The Hunter's Moon* monster bars, as well as Vampire/Werewolf Hybrid Candace Lupin.

* Affected OCs that are Belfry Prep students now: Xandria Heartblood, Carmet Fangs
* Affected OCs that are Crescent Moon students now: MIGHT move Nekota & Takai Meowth. MIGHT consider creating a Werewolf character (instead), too. I have not decided on that yet.

### (Demi)God/desses

\*sigh\* I'll be honest with you here, I don't like them very much. I mean I like them in general, as I am a big fan of mythology, which does include them, but fanon wise, I tend to stay away from them. I don't have any myself and probably won't ever create one. I know, thanks to canons like Posea and, to some extent even Cupid it's technically possible but it's so easy to fall victim to creating mary-sue/gary-stu characters that are simply too powerful, flawless and too capable of getting rid of conflicts way too easily from a story telling perspective. I don't mind introducing (Demi)God/dess into my fanon via relationships though, but they have to be well written/developed and shouldn't be too powerful. Also: they should look "monster" enough! A lot of them are indistinguishable from mere humans and, if so, have no business being in the monster world imo. They'd fit more into the Ever After High fandom in that case, and should probably rather be friends with my EAH FCs than with my MH FCs ;D

### Crossovers

While there are some (especially visually) awesome crossover characters out there, I am not too fond of them myself. I kinda sneak appearances from other franchises into my FCs, but I will never state their "inspiration" as the actual monster parent. For example: I strongly based my FCs Sirena and Ravennia on the *Legend of Zelda* races Zora and Rito, but their monster parents are stated as sirens.

However, I of course allow that one crossover that Monster High made canon themselves, the connection between Monster High and it's spin off Ever After high is existent in my fanon as well. Though I still treat them like two separate universes connected through magical mirrors as seen in the Ever After High episode "Here comes Cupid". This narrative device of changing universes like this is especially apparent in my "Beauty within the Beast" special.

### Dream Pastures and Boogies

The Dream Pastures, which are canonically located in the Monster High catacombs - like so many other things conveniently, do not have a literal or physical "door" through which everyone who knows where it is located can just enter. It's the dream world, where all Nightmares  and Fright-Mares live, that only a specific type of Monster - Boogies - have easy access too. They can enter it through anyone's dream, can cause quite the havoc by manipulating it if they so please and might even have the power to leave it with company. Other Monsters that fall asleep dreaming find themselves in a very specific part of the Dream Pastures that they usually cannot leave due to their dream keeping them busy and engaged so that they don't wander off willy-nilly. Lucid dreamers are the most capable of leaving this area and tend to be the ones responsible for creating Fright-Mares to begin with, as they force their dream-creating Nightmare to try and stop them from leaving the boundaries of their dream, which usually ends in the collision of Nightmare and Dreamer.

Known Boogies in the Fanon

* Leliana "Red" Venom
* Robert "Bob" Ackerman
* Tenebrae Shades

### Dragonkind and the Polymorphy Ability

In my fanon, all dragons and reptile like monsters (Basilisks, Nagas, Lamias, etc), in addition to their mythologically known abilities like firebreathing and flying, have access to a limited form of polymorphy. Limited in the sense, that they only have one particular other form to change into: the form of a Normie/Human. In this Form, they still look like themselves, but without any of their monstrous features. This normie appearance cannot be changed by them unless they achieve "golden scale" status, in which their polymorphy abilities will rival those of shapeshifters like doppelgangers and their lesser known descendants, changelings. They can be awarded this status by the Elderdragon, usually for good deeds for dragonkind. That usually means, that only dragonkind that has lived a significant amount of centuries aquire this status, but in rare occations, it may be granted to very young individuals.

I came up with this Idea for *The Golden Scale,* a Fanfic that as ought to tell the story of such a teen dragonkind achieving the golden scale rank and as a result finally being able to also transition their gender. However, this story is, as of yet, unfinished. I also don't necessaringly like what I have so far. I don't know if I will ever attempt to rewrite/finish it, but the idea of dragonkind having a limited shapeshifting ability kinda stuck around anyway, and is an important and crucial part of their backstory and lore for some of my FCs.

Known Dragonkind Characters in the Fanon:

* Connor O'Roost
* Drake West
* Leliana Venom
* Levi Strikes
* Serpentine Viper
* Suresh Sampa
* Zenobia Druk

### Mirror Images (versus crossover characters)

You probably know of the trophe in film and literature of a parallel, usually "upside-down" universe, where everything is the complete opposite, usually done with good and evil: Everyone who is good, is evil and everyone who is evil is good. While a mirror image is not neccesarily the better or the worse version, they function similarly. They are two different, separate, sometimes opposite versions of the same character. One that belongs to the one universe, Monster High, and one that belongs to the other, Ever After High. To seperate them from crossover characters, which are the same characters hopping between the universes, mirror images have different first names, but share the same last name to indicate their connection through more than just appearance. In short, a crossover character can only exist in one universe at a time and wont be present in the other then. Mirror images exist in both universes at the same time. There is no known way to have these images of one another actually meet, thou they sometimes might see the image of the other in a magical mirror. Whenever one crosses the portal to the other universe, they will automatically swap places with their mirror image and fill their roles but with their own conscience, memory and personality.

I came up with this Idea for a potential crossover fanfiction as well, but it became prominent due to one of my Lab contests, *Through the Mirror,* that was meant to promote creating crossover content and advertise *The Lab*'s sister wiki.

Known Characters and their Mirror images in the fanon:

* Nekota Meowth > Poussey Meowth
* Walpurga Wickerbottom > Hagzissa Wickerbottom

### Freaky Fusions

I think that, in my fanon, I want to treat fusions more like they are treated in the Steven Universe series. I know the movie had the focus on teaching the ghouls to "think and act as a unity" and that, in Steven Universe, a fusion is unstable, too, if the components aren't in sync, so maybe they are pretty similar to begin with. But I just want to make it clear that for me, a fusion is its own, new person, rather than just two monsters in one body.

However, just like in the canon, fusion can only be accieved via a third party device or by magic (usually by either malfunctioning). Even though Fusion does create a new being, so far, it has only happened on accident and was never the intended outcome.

Known Fusions in the Fanon:

* Sugasia

### Relationships

Of course, I am always open to create relationships with other people's FCs! So if you are interested, just let me know, and we can work something out, either by brainstorming together or by actually RPing the relationship out. I'd love to get permission to use developed relationships within my stories as well, but if you don't want your FCs appear in them, that's fine, too - we could still have relationships :3
