Thanks to some Discord circle-jerking and some creative thoughts. I got an idea for a Bodyguard x K/DA story. Now, there's a lot of bodyguard stories that exist already. The problem with a lot of these is that it's cut and paste "Military-sigma-depressed-never-talked-to-a-woman-in-my-life" MC, (it's a dig at myself too), and that they are FUCKING... ABANDONED!!! And they aren't fucking...
I played the FUCK out of Sleeping Dogs, a game where you're a Hong Kong PD undercover operative, Wei Shen, who has to infiltrate and dismantle the Chinese triads, or something like that, highly recommend watching a playthrough or playing it yourself.
That gave me inspiration to make a bodyguard MC that will possess Wei Shen's skills, abilities, tattoos, attitude maybe, only that it'll be League-ified, (I'm coining that). He's going to have similar problems maybe, being a member of Piltover's chapter of the Shadow Order, an Ionian gang who runs Ionia alongside the Kinkou and Navori Brotherhood.
To avoid similarities with the MC from my Akali story, he's going to fight differently, more lethal, more blade heavy rather than goofy Yakuza flair, coated in blood after every fight, every person he beats is implied that he killed them, environmental takedowns, bone breaking, etc. I WANT FIGHTS, I WANT BLOOD, I WANT HIM TO FUCKING DESTROY ANYONE IN HIS PATH!!! Just like Wei could...

Ignore that these are from 12 years ago...
This story could be light, or dark, which I haven't decided yet. I haven't even started writing it, but the idea is now on paper as it's been swirling in my head for quite a while, at least since Fast Man, so I got plans to make this either soon or much later. I was thinking of calling it "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" or something that's less on the nose; I'll gladly take any suggestions any of you have.
