Also I just wanna compare these different versions of Lucius because he is literally the oc I draw all the time.

This was in 2019, when I was first getting into the concept of Lucius having his gallium blood that could be controlled. I still wasn’t confident in his floofy hair.

Which is why at some point in the story it gets chopped off. Rip.

Last year I was thinking of how he would look with his original wings and kind of started thinking of an unhinged version. This wasn’t totally where I wanted to take it.

As I draw him more, I’ve been getting slowly more confident with his big ass hair full of secrets. This one is from earlier in March.

I do think this is one of his best renditions though. This unhinged version just contrasts his normal personality so well and I love all the red basically lmao.

We’re gonna start this off slow with an easy character to explain, my Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba oc.

This is Jun Tsukami, the Flight Hashira. He is 20 years old, and aro/ace character, and his breath style is derived from Wind Breathing.

Jun is a very quiet and stoic demon slayer. He was at Final Selection alongside Giyu and Sabito, after deciding on his own to go. He had only his father as a mentor while training as a demon slayer, however, at the age of 17, Jun’s parents and three sisters were turned into demons. Remembering his father’s mantra to kill all demons, he slaughtered his family to save them from eating humans.

After Final Selection, he traveled alone and slaughtered every demon in sight, quickly moving up the ranks. After killing two of the Twelve Kizuki simultaneously, Lower Five and Four before they were replaced, he was granted the title of the Flight Hashira.

He is slow to trust, but once he does, his faith is unwavering and he will defend a friend to the death. Sentimental, he holds a piece of all his lost friends. His haori is made of his father’s and mother’s and has a more open back style than a usual haori. His sword is a blue tint naginata rather than a katana. This is due to the Breath of Flight style being very light and distanced rather than aggressive and up close. There are two Diamond-shaped cut out in the blade to add more aggression to the blade. The staff part can extend and shorten, and is put into a sheath on Jun’s back when not in use.

Trivia

- His family comes from a long line of rice farmers. He is from a more humid area of Japan, and knows the ins and outs of the rice trade.

- His Kasugai Crow is actually not a crow but a Japanese Paradise Flycatcher named Muragi

- He is the eldest and only son of his family. He was in an arranged marriage before becoming a Demon Slayer, when he cut off his engagement. His ex-fiancée has since married the son of a blacksmith.

- He gets along with Muichiro the most and, despite being the Wind Hashira, he dislikes Sanemi and says he is too cocky. He appreciates Sanemi’s knowledge of Wind Breathing, but finds Muichiro’s personality favorable.

Okay for the rest of you cursed people who wanna see my disgusting kids.

These three goons are Lucius’ half siblings, Alaz, Beatrice, and Xavier. Alaz and Beatrice look like these could be twins, but are actually more complicated than that. Xavier is the eldest and was the one that was experimented on the most.

Xavier is 28 years old and is the oldest out of the demon kids. There were more siblings originally but Xavier has since killed most of them off for getting on his bad side. When he was a kid, his father experimented on him just like he would do to his other siblings. His original wings as a nephilim were cut off. His eyes were taken out and through them, his father stuffed various demonic souls into Xavier, where they pushed through as the eyes and mouth on his body. As a child, they used to scare and bully him until he learned to talk back to the demons inside him. Now, he uses them as a means of attack. Hiding from Xavier is futile and the mouths are skilled in tearing apart a body. However, he has to get in close and his sense of hearing was not amplified after losing his eyes, so he can be distracted by noises.

He works under his father to play his role in destroying life on Earth to bring about a revival of a new civilization. He hates working with his other siblings and is most likely to rebel to Lucius’ side. However, the trauma he dealt with as a child keeps him loyal to his father.

Next is Alaz, who is an unfortunate soul given the fact that his soul was forcibly split into two. Alaz was born 3 years after Xavier and was also experimented on at a very young age. His father wanted to test a theory that young souls were more malleable and therefore could be split into two people. After cutting off Alaz’s original wings as well, his soul was split into two different beings, which was an extremely painful process. This division allowed Beatrice to take shape as the other half of Alaz’s soul. However, in order to keep her physical body, Alaz must consume the flesh of one person a day, otherwise Beatrice will lose her form and be nothing more than a puddle of blood, as she can never return to the other half of Alaz.

Alaz has no feminine qualities to him, just as Beatrice has no masculine qualities. Because of this, Beatrice is very sexual in order to lure in victims. While Alaz eats humans in order to keep Beatrice alive, Beatrice kills to harvest blood that is used to build weaponry in Hell. Both serve under Markus and are very loyal to him due to their soul splitting having made both very aggressive and cold towards humans, to a point of having killed their own mother in order to be free to serve Markus and Hell completely.

All three have teamed up against Lucius in order to carry out the plans of their father. All four siblings don’t know much about one another, and all of them meeting isn’t exactly the family reunion Lucius wants to have…

Some more old art, this time oc related. I have a story I’ve been working on, “Hell Hath No Throne for a Nephilim,” which is Lucius’ story. These are some of the other characters in that story. And I’ll start with Niko.

First up is the love interest 🖤 This is Nikolai, or Niko, and he is 21 at the beginning and 24 by the end. He’s an anthousai, basically a type of a flower nymph. He and Lucius relate to the sentiment of being “hybrids” since his mother is Rhodeia of the Roses, a flower nymph, and his father was human. He is very harsh and blunt, a no bullshit type of guy. But of course he’s got soft spots.

These were his first few designs. At first he was just too emo and Lucius was too hipster. So I made him more…punkish? And of course this man is 🫳✨ ya know?

And like this man loves Lucius, bro.

Like LOVES him.

And you gotta love that for him 💕
