Get Jinxed: A Tale of Mental Instability and Poor Decisions (Arcane/League of Legends)

What about them? That's like, an extreme AU that has basically nothing to do with Arcane/League canon except character names, if you squint really hard. Star Guardians I can see a case for, at least, but the band AUs like KDA and Pentakill always strike me as pretty irrelevant to anything. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question?

Ahhhhhh, I misunderstood the question, then, lol
Now I'm just picturing like, Jinx coming up with those initials in a dream and deciding "sure why not"
And then everyone is left wondering what mysterious vigilante KDA stands for, and arguing over it:
"No, no, it's totally Kill The Dutch!"
"Dude you're wrong, it's Kill Death Assist!"
"Killer Dear Auntie, she totally looks like someone's aunt, I caught a flash of a glimpse of her in the reflection of a window, she's totally a hot aunt!"
"Kim Dae Ahn, she's clearly from Ionia."
And then like, Ekko or Cait figures out it's her, and asks her what KDA actually stands for, and Jinx is like "Idunno either, I just wanted something that would keep 'em all guessing."

I'm really not diving into every AU, considering I'm not even fully up to date on all of the main universe lore (some of which is in flux anyway because they're reworking it to match Arcane).
As I've mentioned elsewhere, Seraphine is already showing up and I have some plans for Lux.
While I don't have anything planned for them at the moment, Zeri and Ziggs also feel like characters who could get worked in.
That said, I don't want to go too all-in on incorporating League characters since that's a massive rabbit hole of lore and I want to stay focused on the Arcane storyline. I'm not opposed to working in League characters who make sense and add something to the story, but this is definitely an Arcane story first and foremost.

League of Legends has lore?!
I could see Glasc fitting in really well if you're willing to bend the setting a little to account for her. Zaunite Industrialist in Piltie high society while nursing a grudge against the City would fit the themes like a glove.

Lux and Jinx together are the best, I was already hopeful considering your Profile pic but I am now eagerly waiting for the intro of the crazy Damatian mage and her interaction with Zaun or now should be Piltover's local jinx.
Glasc would be also a great character to add, maybe make her a part of Vander's and silco's original band but one who got injured bad during the bridge attack and also grew to hate vander's Pacificism with Piltover but at the same time think's Silco's a fool who's trying to do things too fast.

Wait a minute,we are missing one crucial detail ?
Which 2010s Pop song will be Jinx's main theme as a superhero?
I say either Judas or Donatella,both by Lady Gaga.

Yeah, I figured. That's why I asked why those were being brought up, since they're really kind of their own thing, didn't realize Birdmaster just wanted to make an indirect reference.

I'll take that as a hard no for Azir, but I bet we can fit Evelynn or Orianna if we try using Hextech to get Caitlyn a girlfriend.

In my opinion the lyrics can be interpreted to be from Jinx's point of view as she ruminates on her feelings about Zaun:
I got change in a pocket somewhere
Got my letter in the box
Tired of waiting for the bus to nowhere
And tired of chasing the stone fox
I don't tell lies no more, ya know
I just don't tell the truth
I don't know what I'm looking for, ya know
But I'm not looking for proof
I have a tricky love affair, ya know
With the place where I grew up
But it knows I'll never leave, ya know
I never left it much
I hate to see it despair, oh, don't you do it
I hate to see it screw up
But it knows I can hardly grieve
When it's hard to give a, hard to give a... (scream)
Don't know what keeps me here
It's not the boy giving the funny feels
Don't know what keeps me here
It's not the P to pay for the wheel
What the hell keeps me here?
In a dark old town that I've adored
The rules don't seem so clear
And change, it feels like fear, it's all you know
Our dark and pretty town
Our dark and pretty town
Our dark and handsome town
Our dark and pretty town
My dark and pretty town

Ekko survived with no one to fight for and with Jinx feeding into Silco's power base with her weapons. He'll probably be fine.
How does that work? Do we just make Hextech tractor beam to help Caitlyn sneak girls into her room easier?

Orianna's probably out at the moment; Chengar can get away with making Seraphine born earlier than she was in canon since she never showed up in Arcane, but Orianna, while barely present, we do know is dead (or mostly dead) in a vat in Singed's hideout right now, and will probably stay that way until Viktor gets his Human Instrumentality on.

Yup, messing with the sequence of events would be a very different matter from fudging a couple of characters' ages, especially since Arcane generally wasn't handing out precise numbers and tweaked plenty of ages compared to where they were in League.

I do have ideas for others if you want to hear them.
Blitzcrank, for example, I could see being made by the new Hextech Trio as a proof of concept and a way to help improve the under city to some degree. Def something I could see Jayce or Viktor in particular making him.
Dr. Mundo could EASILY be a new experiment made by Singed and then deployed as a new type of muscle for Silco.
Janna, being the Goddess of Clean Air in Zaun offers a great way to explore religion in Zaun. A good opportunity to help flesh out arcane a bit more since religion is kind of a major thing in culture and ESPECIALLY among those with little else to hold to.
Renata Glasc is a literal chem baron and could definitely work as a secondary antagonist or even a potential ally of convenience.
Twitch is almost perfect as a lackey of Silco. His idealogy works well and, if you want to flesh him out, he could work VERY well as a student of singe. Perhaps a supplier of components he gathers or "Acquires".
Urgot is similar and could 100% have a backstory tied with a certain other former Noxian and would work very well as another lackey and powerful enforcer for Silco to use. Potentially he feels a debt to Silco for freeing him and "repairing" him.
Lastly Zac.... Well, when the Chem Barons see Silco with his Chem tech empowered enforcers well, chances are, they'll want to follow the trend. Any one of them could create Zac and he could be very interesting as a character to explore.
As for Piltover....
Chamile works well as the previous Sheriff's replacement and I could see her offering major funding for Hextech. In lol she helped found it but here she could easily become it's major backer looking for any advantage she can give the enforcers.
Ezreal would not be born yet but his parents are both rather familiar with magic and ancient magical devices. I could see one of them teaching in the academy or being brought in to help with working with Hextech. From there I could see Jinx helping to look out for the kid.
And Orianna is singed daughter.... Weirdly if Singed thinks Hextech might hold the key to saving her life I could see him capturing one of the trio (or maybe getting Viktor to help) in order to save her leading to her creation.

Pyke has his list, and Zaun and Piltover being what they are well, someone on it fleeing to either is feasible, and the river king goes where he pleases, so long as someone let's him in.
