Botfighting AU

Botfighting AU is an AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons universe. In the AU, Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup and Jack Frost are all portrayed as botfighters in San Fransokyo. Because it is not canon, ideas for this AU are shown through fanfiction, fanart, and other fan-made works. This is considered a sub-scenario to Modern AU and Sci-Fi AU.

About this AU
In this AU, members of the fandom are portrayed as active members of the sport of botfighting; a sport where miniature remote controlled robots fight in the ring.

How the characters themselves are portrayed usually differs, from being high schoolers to being students of San Fransokyo Tech and even full-on graduates. Whether or not the bot-fighting they partake in is legal or illegal may vary.

Whether or not this AU takes place in San Fransokyo (or at least in the same world) is not required, but is most common.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
In this AU, Hiccup is seen as the reigning champ, given his technical know-how translating to modern times. Given his timid nature, Hiccup would usually keep his botfighting hobby a secret from his personal life, drawing up a reputation as a result. His bot is mostly based off of Toothless, keeping the Night Fury as the core blueprint of its design.

Jack Frost
In this AU, Jack (as his human self) is a botfighter that does it for fun and brings his sister along for support. His bot has been designed after a white rabbit-like design, an obvious reference to one of his guardian friends, Bunny.

Merida DunBroch
In this AU, Merida possesses a brawler bot, her bot in particular drawing many influences from scottish culture with bears as a primary influence in its design.

Rapunzel Corona
In this AU, Rapunzel is a botfighter who's robot has been designed after a chameleon-like design, an obvious reference to her animal friend Pascal.

Hiro Hamada
Since Hiro is already a student at San Fransokyo Tech and spend time in the botfight fighting ring, he is usually portrayed as himself, but as a fulltime botfighter and reigning champ with Megabot by his side.

Yama
Since Yama is already a botfight and has a bot of his own, he is portrayed as himself. As well as being a fallen champ that wants to get back the kid who defeated him and destroyed his bot.

Toothiana
Tooth's bot is mostly based on her fairies or their hummingbird like appearance and features. Tooth is also seen having more than one bot at her side.

Astrid Hofferson
In this AU, Astrid is a botfighter that hopes to go up against the champ and that her bot would someday beat his. Her bot is mostly based off of Stormfly or a blue bird, the form that the Nadder is sometimes given in Modern AU.
