[mirthfulmoonshine]

Oh Ganon from the 1989 Zelda cartoon series produced by DIC. Won't you take me away on your weird bug horse thing.

[mirthfulmoonshine]

Okay gonna break this down because mark me down as hooked I love your stuff and the commitment you put into developing/researching.

1- MAP / WATER

IN LOVE WITH THE MAP. I think the approach everyone takes to the overworld of Hyrule is so cool and I think yours adds some cool world expansion ideas (especially in the Highlands but we will get to that)

As for the water wheel, I agree, but I don't think Nintendo was gonna waste the engine power to put that in game lol I think they use a traditional shaduf closer to the fortress and also use various aquifer pump systems using canals and sluice gates a la Mesopotamia.

YESSS UNDERWATER AQUADUCTS now you're speaking my language. I think the acquisition of water and the protection of it/structures made to guide it are almost SACRED to the Gerudo. They may not have a god/goddess of water or associate it much with a force imo but they value it and treat it with the most sincerity and regard.

2 - SEVEN HEROINES

OKAY WOW what a breakdown. I don't know if I entirely agree but you obviously did your homework and I think I am just. biased to my own stuff, selfishly lol

I like the idea that also each trait is associated with a weapon/piece of armor/strong gems. I think it's a cool concept that the Gerudo don't consider gentleness/compassion or wisdom/knowledge to be non-combative strengths. In my loz brain, the Gerudo work for gentleness/compassion is closer to the English idea of meekness (strength under control, ability to exhibit mercy when one doesn't have to).

I also like the idea that the Eighth Heroine is possibly POWER or AMBITION, something that obviously went down the way side OR is considered more sacred than the rest. That's an idea I'm trying to expand upon in my own corner of the Hyrule universe.

3 - KARA KARA BAZAAR

And here we are with the Eighth Heroine. The 8th being a Voe is an idea I like to ponder back and forth and it's nice to see others consider it too, especially in the scope of canon.

To me though, the cool main focus, is a voe-welcoming area of the desert. I think the correspondance and connection with male family, friends, and potential matches is a really cool idea and this location fits that agenda pretty well given its geographic location and proximity between Gerudo Town and the entrance to the desert.

Obsessed with the level of depth the history of this place has. Once again you deliver lol

4 - Redspice

A PETRA LIKE CITY WOULD BE AMAZING. Gerudo town in my head is very Petra-esque so I am definitely biased.

5 - Ealiyah Town

MMm love this idea. I like seeing other people explore the potential of the Highlands for Gerudo territory and habitats. I also like that it created tension. I've always interpreted the Highlands as a dangerous, sacred, and solemn place for the Gerudo culturally so having a town filled with a more familial and more open society feels nicely poetic.

Once again again I am. literally stunned with the level of detail. it is phenomenal.

Amazing work as always... you've inspired me to write more for my own again. Bless <3

Okay, to start off, I've made some changes to the map. Not a lot, but it's noticeable.

And, something I noticed about the Gerudo in OoT was the… distinct lack of a waterwheel to take advantage of the river that they have constant access to. I have no idea why it is that they hadn't built a Persian-style waterwheel. Think of a wheel-powered bucket elevator. But it's ridiculous.

But, I actually think that I've figured out the origin of the water that comes out of the top of the hoodoo in the Wild Era. You know the cave on Meadela's Mantle in the Highlands? I think it comes from there & I think it might be transported to Gerudo Town via something known as a Qanāt (قنات) or Kārīz (كاريز). They're a type of underground aqueduct used to take drinkable water from karst cave aquifers on mountaintops down to deserts. It would've likely taken 10 years at the least to build, but it definitely seems very plausible, especially since magic also exists here, which should make it easy to send the water up out of the hoodoo to create a fountain that could sustain the Gerudo & even allow them to start an agricultural district.

But, something I had put a bunch of work into was the 7 Heroines. I believe that I know which symbol & power goes with which Heroine.

But one of my favorite things is what I have in mind for Kara Kara Bazaar. I want to expand it. As in, REALLY expand it into a full-on market town/farming town where the husbands & step-sons & all sorts can live & be near their wives & daughters without stepping on any traditions.

This, plus the stuff I have planned to convert the area around the Satori Tree in the canyon on Koukot Plateau into what I’m referring to as the “Redspice Arometum.” See, I'm sort of making it into a spice garden that a few of the Gerudo & their husbands tend to. I've also been going back & forth as to whether or not I want to go through with building a Petra-like city in the canyon for voe, but that's for later.

Then, there's my personal favorite bit of worldbuilding: Ealiyah Town.

[mirthfulmoonshine]

Hello. Sorry if this is outta the blue, but I was just worldbuilding & I managed to come up with a name for an Hyrule ingredient that I thought was amazingly punny...

But, unless I find someone who actually fluently understands Irish Gaelic enough to possibly understand the pun without me explaining it, then I'm not 100% sure if I managed it.

... And I'm too shy to try & post it on the R/Irish reddit to see. ^_^;

Not asking you for a favor or anything like that. More so, I was wondering if you've ever had similar experiences.

My apologies if this was weird, it's just nice to talk sometimes.

Bye, bless!

SORRY THIS TOOK ME FOREVER TO GET TO.... Sadly don't know Irish Gaelic or any good cross references for it, but definitely be brave and try the Reddit out. Worst that could happen is no response <3

And you always have an avid listener right here!

I have definitely had some similar experience, especially for world building that I can tie into the real world (my Hellsing stuff mainly) and trying to make it grounded. Usually with my LOZ stuff, I avoid real world connections just to make it something of its own but that's my personal conviction about fictional world building lol

[mirthfulmoonshine]

Hellsing OCs voice claims 💬

Self indulgent compilation but I’m trying to be better at posting because these are my silly guys and gals

There are two OCs not included yet because I haven’t done a sketch of them yet 😔 Bárbara and Siro ily

In order of appearance

Salome

Scarlett O’Hara from Gone With The Wind, but somehow make it more Yorkshire.

I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted because she has a very unique accent in my head. Yorkshire meets Trans-Atlantic.

Her accent is completely fabricated as well, especially the post Trans-Atlantic side of it.

Ira Absil

Phoebus from the French dub of HOND.

Ira’s voice would be impossible to find low-key because he is from a bygone era where the way they must’ve spoken is not readily found on the internet lol

Being from early modern France, he struggles to adapt to modern dialect, especially since he is so isolated from the world and overall dislikes the world.

Perpetua

Esmeralda from the Italian dub of HOND. Talks fast and authoritative on the front, but softer and more unsure behind closed doors.

She has a notable northern Italian dialect but non Italians won’t catch it duh

Calev Soler

Are we three for three? Yes. Quasimodo from both the Italian and English dub of HOND.

I chose both because his voice gets higher when he speaks Italian and I think that’s a neat little detail.

Gentle tenor 🖤 also has a strange accent I couldn’t find given he is originally from Catalonia so just pretend it’s there’s

Malachi Sawyer

Ryoji Kaji from the ADV Neon Genesis Evangelion English dub. Perfect balance of introspection and suaveness. (I also just really like Kaji sorry guys)

AMERICAN

Aurelio Esposito-Santi

King Ramses in the Italian dub of The Prince of Egypt.

As a litigator, he mostly sticks to a calm, low tone but can definitely burst to 100 if he’s provoked properly (especially by Enrico lol)

Nausicaa

Kai’sa from League of Legends in Greek. The balance of deep soft and strained echo is perfect for her, especially if she’s visible or not to the people she speaks to.

Adapted to modern Greek with much struggle and disdain but did it anyway so she can communicate with the outside world. Speaks broken broken English, Italian, and Turkish as well.

Ernest Müller

Frederick Zoller from Inglorious Basterds because he speaks French and German and that is soooo Ernest.

Soft but threatening. He is literally just Frederick without all the uh… German stuff.

Unlike Ira, he adapted better to the dialect and diction of the age he is in so he sounds more natural and less stunted in time.

Lysandros

Yasuo from League of Legends in Greek with a little less echo and reverb. Lysandros’ voice does have that strange echo factor, especially when he’s in high emotions or using abilities.

Could’ve tried to find an Italian or English voice as well but he’s a good Greek boy through and through and speaks it the most.

Like Nausicaa, he has adapted to modern Greek though if the two are talking in their lonesome (or don’t want anyone around to understand them) they’ll go full Mycenaean.

[mirthfulmoonshine]

Hellsing HC: Walter's Parents & the Millennium Project

Walter Dornez is the only child and only son of Rosanna and Christaan Dornez, two renowned agents of Hellsing's sister organization, The Harker Foundation.

Rosanna Seward is the youngest and only daughter of Dr. John Seward and the only Seward to pursue the family's external trade: vampire hunting and weapon crafting.

Determined, stubborn, and sociable. Known for her temper, quick tongue, and inability to sit still. Talented pianist and wild child.

Rosanna was a sister figure to Arthur and Richard, growing up close together with the other progeny of the Crew of Light generation. She and Arthur were very close and got along really well - always up to no good and eager to take up their parents mantels.

She is the first Seward to perfect the Monofilament Wires, technology developed by her father and the Hellsing Organization. She also developed the early sketches for many of Hellsing's other technologies such as different blessed bullets, armaments, and defense mechanisms.

In 1927, Rosanna was sent to Amsterdam to study with the Harker Foundation. Under the tutelage of the Harkers and their son Quincey, she became an effective vampire hunter and anti-vampire strategist.

While there, she meets Christaan Dornez.

Christiaan Dornez is the triple-life chauffeur of the Harker Foundation. Chauffeur by day, vampire hunter by night, and eavesdropper and espionage expert all the while, Christaan is a high value worker.

Gentlemanly, a man of few words, and arresting presence. A hunger for justice, righteousness, and peace at any costs - the end justifies the means.

Christaan is Dutch and from Maastricht, Netherlands. His family is very well and alive, his father is a former priest and his mother is a school teacher. He has seven brothers. From youth, he has always been a spearhead for justice and venegance, making him a dangerous character to tick off despite his cool demeanor.

Using his chauffeur front, Christaan does a great deal of espionage and spy work for the Harker Foundation on both vampiric and mortal threats.

He primarily uses sniper fire and/or handheld blades to do his vampire hunting.

He is missing two fingers: the pinky on his left hand and the ring finger on his right.

Rosanna & Christaan

Together, they made quite the effective duo of agents for the Harker Foundation. They handle a lot of the field research collection and eradication stakeouts, curtailing the vampiric threat in northern Europe.

Rosanna decides to stay in the Netherlands with Christaan and the two get married in 1929. Their son, Walter, is born in 1930. Rosanna retires back to a strategist while Christaan continues to work with the Foundation's field agents.

They raised their son in Amsterdam and with a relatively normal childhood, embracing a very traditional family structure backdropped by Monofilament Wire exposure, family history, stories of the world beyond the veil, and visits to his grandparents and their friends.

By May 1940, the invasion of the Third Reich was in full force. Christaan and Rosanna had joined the Dutch Resistance, working in resistance measures close to the Raad van Verzet (RVV) and the Harker Foundation had stayed behind to defend their country. The Foundation and Dornez family fled to Rotterdam as the situation worsened.

May 1940, the bombing of Rotterdam eventually pushed them out. The Harker Foundation splits, sending its weakest, wounded, women, and children out of the country to England in the final push. Rosanna takes 10 year-old Walter with her, leaving Christaan behind, and arrives at Hellsing's doorstep a refugee.

However, unable to fight her sense of justice or the abandonment of her husband and team, Rosanna leaves Walter a ward of Hellsing and returns to the Netherlands, smuggled back in through Foundation and Hellsing avenues.

The Millennium Project

Contact with agents Rosanna and Christaan had become weak and intermittent while Walter trained at the Hellsing Estate as both a hall boy/footman and vampire hunter prodigy.

Arthur made it a personal mission of Hellsing to retrieve the Foundation's agents.

The remainder of the Harker Foundation eventually push into Central Europe and in the process, get the first inklings of the Millennium Project and the undead workings occurring under the Third Reich and the Special Order 666. This would be the Dornez' final mission.

The two, alongside many others, manage to steal important documents exposing the procedures, locations, and means of the Millennium Project, causing a fervent manhunt chasing them back to the Netherland border. The Harker Foundation was able to relay the information back out to Hellsing but all remaining members were arrested, imprisoned, and promptly executed by the Werwolves and Millennium's operatives.

The documents and information delivered to Hellsing became the crux of their Warsaw Operations and continental Europe missions to undermine Millennium.

Their bodies were never recovered and the Harker Foundation would not return properly to the Netherlands until 1947.

Anyways. just rambling.

[mirthfulmoonshine]

Μαύρο φεγγάρι ⏾ Luna Nera

Hellsing OC lore post 🥸

The Luna Nera is a quasi religious-doomsday cult comprised solely of vampires throughout continental Europe. With its roots back in Mycenaean Greece and Despoina mystery cults, the Luna Nera has been collecting bodies and members for generations.

Demarcated through a series of intricate tattoos, called Marks of Knowing, the members of the Luna Nera believe in vampiric supremacy and achieving godlike vampirism before the end of days. In those times, their two leaders will eradicate the human nuisance and establish unburdened immortality for their followers. They exercise strategic violence and eradication on humans and subjugation of other supernatural beings. Surrounding, weakening, and raiding towns to bring back their spoils of blood, blood bags, and wealth.

Luna Nera members are fiercely loyal to each other and even more so to their two leaders: Λύσανδρος (Lysandros) and Ναυσικά (Nausicaa). Able to bring disease, necrosis, vertigo, hysteria, and rot, the two are the main charismatic muscle behind major overtakings of towns and the ritualistic elements of the cult’s mystery. Thousands of years old, they believe they can achieve ultimate vampirism albeit in different ways.

⏾ Structure

The Luna Nera is very loose until you get to the upper echelon of vampires. The founders and leaders pick their prodigies very carefully, who then act as 'officers' or delegators for their subsequent groups and following. There is no real leadership structure aside from loyalty and trusted relationship with either vampiric sires or simply valued individuals that others swear fidelity to.

Notable delegators usually have deep, interpersonal relationships with either Lysandros or Nausicaa. A prime example is Ira Absil, information about Ira is linked here.

They do have a hierarchy of species: nosferatu -> vampires -> dhampirs -> lycanthropy -> humans -> crosses between humans/lycans -> other types of supernatural beings. The hierarchy is the only hard form of structure aside from the absolute authority of Lysander and/or Nausicaa.

⏾ Marks of Knowing

Marks of Knowing are special tattoos on the hands, wrists, feet, ankles, nape, and frontal parts of the body that indicate one's role, purpose, and stance within the cult. More on them are linked here.

Hands are for interpersonal relationships and the width and location of the tattoo bands have meaning.

Index - valued, trusted relationships. Bond beyond family or romance.* Middle - familial or sireship* Ring - sexual or marital relationships* Pinky - accolades (kills, siring, captives, etc.) Thumb - chevrons, statute of leadership (indicates delegator, leader, etc.)* Palm - upper palm markings show you are an owner/sire/have claimed areas - lower palm markings indicate you are a blood bag Back of hand - general symbology of loyalty * anything above the second knuckle indicates they are the higher more authoritative person in that dynamic.

The wrists and ankles are a sign of belonging or subjugation. Nape and frontal body is for authority.

These markings are quick ways to identify who is who and what. These markings can be imbued with blood that make them painful, alive, and altering. More on that in the aforementioned link.

⏾ Founders

Lysandros and Nausicaa are the founders of the Luna Nera. Both are Mycenaean in origin and are considered full fledged nosferatu. While they may not have dominions like Alucard, they are uniquely powerful in their own rights through means of disease and delirium.

Their undeath began with the cult of Despoina and a ritual gone horribly, horribly wrong. Having been around for thousands of years, their bond is unlike any other and their influence is immeasurable.

The LN is structured in a loose top down structure. While most LN vampires (90-95%) follow Lysander, a minority devote themselves to Nausicaa (5-10%). The difference between the two is usually how they attack humans and the type of vampiric qualities/traits they have.

Λύσανδρος - Lysandros/Lysander

Lysandros is the “tangible” half of the LN’s leadership. Is the most present, seen face to face, and holds a more active role in LN practices. He is charismatic, nonchalant, and sophisticated with a dark underbelly of a propensity for violence, lust, and sharp, cold cunning.

He predominately stays in Italy or Switzerland, enjoying mountainous and hard to navigate terrain for his safe-places and operations.

Lysandros' repertoire of vampiric abilities is highly deadly. He has impressive hemokinesis, can turn into a rabid bat-like beast, and can siphon blood. Where he goes, disease can follow - a special type of sickness that Iscariot files call 'miasma.'

Miasma is an indiscriminate disease that is not transferred through conventional means such as being airborne, contact, or ingested. The elderly, children, immunocompromised, and weak are high susceptible to it, usually catching it first, but anyone can fall to it fast. Pallor, fever chills and sweats, convulsions, vomiting, lethargy, hemoptysis, and decolorization of the skin akin to frostbite/necrosis can afflict even the healthiest individual. Death is fast. Miasma also impacts water sources, livestock, and crops - usually rotting or souring. This can only occur if Lysandros is incredibility close to the area and/or bleeds in the area.

His greatest weakness is himself. Lysander's blood is highly poisonous to himself should he ingest it or have it sprayed onto him. Additionally, he needs a blood host/vessel -- a mortal body he implants some of his blood in, similar to a living horcrux. Should the host die, he dies. Should he be away from the host physically, he weakens.

Ναυσικά - Nausicaa

Nausicaa is the more elusive, mysterious, and reclusive side of LN leadership. She is calm and generally tender, but has the capacity to become quite tumultuous and violent. Her face is a highly protected secret, as is her location, due to her valuable skillset.

She lives in various places, being moved after long stints of isolation. Nausicaa mostly resides along the Mediterranean coast. Her homes are always adorned with rich rugs, tapestries, blankets, and quilts with minimal furniture and belongings, the sun blotted out with curtains and pinned up rugs. Also has a ton of dead and dying plants. She's also a nudist when she's alone.

Where Lysander is physical, Nausicaa is mental. Nausicaa's presence is often proceeded by an intense vertigo and swimming of vision. Shadows move and seem to grow autonomy while the body feels weak. She can project illusions quite the distance, about 15-20 miles, and her illusions are tangible, made stronger if she has tasted the blood of who she seeks to replace or mimic. She can possess individuals, one at a time, but that range is much smaller (1-2 miles). Should the individual that she is in die, she would die as well.

Notably, her blood is a hallucinogen when ingested. It causes immense disorientation, memory loss, and rash actions. This affects any consumer, even the undead. It also impacts her.

Nausicaa is unable to create 'dominion' - she cannot create a kingdom of souls and blood in her body like Alucard can that permits her endless regeneration and life. For her, a wound can knit itself close over time but she cannot rapidly heal and can die once. Her hermit tendencies and protective nature is due to this weakness.

⏾ Anyways yeah that is all I got right now

[mirthfulmoonshine]

I actually have some Gerudo worldbuilding that you might like.

And even a couple of theories on things in regards to the Gerudo in BotW/TotK.

If ya wanna hear about it, just say so.

Omg yes hit me with it (also I didn’t see your other ask till right now 😵‍💫 I’ll get to that asap)

[mirthfulmoonshine]

Solider boy oh my little solider boy🙁🙁🙁 not funny have been crying vero them the entire day

[mirthfulmoonshine]

Evangelion AU: Hellsing

(Original notes are here)

EVANGELION PILOTS (mostly)

Alucard - Pilot, EVA 00 "Baskerville"

A being formed by combining both Adam and Lilith’s DNA. Like Rei, there are a ton of clones, making each Alucard disposable and replaceable. He was sealed away in the Reiquarium after the Second Impact mission.

His Eva Unit, Baskerville/00, is made from Lilith's DNA - like Rei's. It is specifically armed with dual wield large hand bazookas. These are the Casull and Jackal, weapons developed by NERVs team to be able to piece an angel's core with ease.

His clones are destroyed in the 8th Angel attack - a virus (Schrödinger) that infects NERVs systems and self destructs the Aluquarium. From then on out, he becomes a little more emotional and invested in fights, but not too much lol.

His bond with Seras is similar to canon - with her helping drag him out of an angel's thorns and vines later mid fight. They are besties I fear.

After the attack of the 13th angel, somehow someway Instrumentality starts. Alucard is the giant Rei-Lilith-Adam abomination from EoE. Like his blood siphoning in ep 10, Alucard pulls in all life to him in the form of LCL.

Seras - Pilot, EVA 03 "Harkonnen"

A London-3 police officer that is injured in the third angel attack. Alucard makes a move of good faith and pulls her into the entry plug of his EVA. In doing so, she becomes exposed to NERV and is realized to be a potential pilot.

She is convinced to stay when its revealed that exposure to Alucard's and Unit 00's LCL fluid had contaminated her existence. Eradication of the angels promises her cure.

Her time in the shadow of the third angel is where we get some basic Evangelion psychological horror but her stint with the Zorin angel is even worse for obvious reasons.

Unit 03, Harkonnen, is the sniper and dive-tank of the units, able to wield heavy duty weaponry and artillery. However, like the Blackbird, it is also effective for long distance sniper fire due. Her special gun is the Positron Anti-Angel Tank Rifle.

She becomes the decider of Instrumentality due to her in-between state of being tied to the mortal world and the angelic (vampiric) world.

Integra - Commander of NERV

Inherited the Commander seat after the death of her father. In fleeing her uncle, she rediscovered the Alucard aquarium, freeing one of the clones that then became fiercely loyal to her. Unlike her counterpart Gendo, Integra seeks to uncover NERVs purpose and do right by the world rather than pursue any selfish motives.

While she is primarily a Commander, Integra CAN pilot an Eva, the special Unit 05, "Knight." Her ability to pilot is saved for extreme conditions and is a last resort measure should she need to defend herself. Knight is equipped with a long progressive knife and multiple pellet hand guns.

She runs NERV with a tight, unrelenting fist but she also cares about her pilots' safety (sometimes). She oversees the Command Room and works directly with Enrico Maxwell, the Bishop of Iscariot, a SEELE close equivalent. They argue. alot.

Episode 2's Integra stopping Seras from going ballistic is now replaced with Gendo's rushed saving of Rei from the burning/ejected entry plug.

... she gets her Gendo covered in blood moment... for reasons. During the 9th angel attack.

Pip - Pilot, EVA 04 "Mercenary"

An EVA pilot from the United Nations, operating the French-made Eva Unit 04, a special combat evangelion notable for its adaptability to various terrains and in-body storage of weapons such as mines, spikes, and progressive knives. His evangelion is most similar to Asuka's Unit 2!

He is a seasoned pilot, having defended continental Europe from a lot of threats beyond the angels. He and his operations team are the Wild Geese, less mercenaries and more continental peace keepers with not so clean rules of engagement.

Pip dies in an angel attack, the 9th Angel (Zorin). His evangelion is brutally scythed in the back while dragging Seras' Unit 03 to safety, puncturing the entry plug.

He and Seras bond a lot like Misato and Kaji (but not exactly, duh). Pip's sense of justice and duty to the people of earth is expressed much like in Episode 6's monologue between angel attacks to Seras.

Pip pilots with aggressive ease. A combination of Asuka and Mari, basically, and all of his controls are in French.

His disembodied voice returns, speaking to Seras from deep within her evangelion which he is now apart of. He encourages her in angel attacks and his form is used a lot to speak to Seras during Instrumentality.

Walter - Deputy Strategist of NERV

Former child prodigy and pilot of EVA 01, "Blackbird." He still operates EVA 01 when needed, such as assisting Seras against Angel attacks or providing extra defense and cover.

Blackbird 01 is best fitted for nimble, agile ambushes and long-distance sniper fire. It is armed with a special weapon called the Longinus Wires, a monofilament steel series of wires made out of shreds and splices of the Spear of Longinus.

Walter dies in the second Captain attack getting Integra to safety. Wrestling with the angel, he uses his Evangelion's self-destruct. However, a few days later, a new Walter appears, just as Alucard remembers him during the Second Impact.

Walter 2.0 is the 13th Angel, the final Angel before Human Instrumentality. Reborn as a teenager, he is the short-lived new pilot of the newly delivered Evangelion Unit 09 - Angel of Death.

In his angel attack against NERV, he is the one who engages Alucard and Seras in one final fight down to Terminal Dogma, where he seeks to fuse with Lilith (that he thinks is Adam) himself and gain godhood. He is killed by Heinkel by being shot in the head.

ANGEL ATTACKS

Angels in this AU are called FREAKs.

Major - First angel emerging out of Second Impact. Was combatted and handled by Alucard and Walter in the Second Impact Missions (Warsaw Missions). This angel had the ability to spawn smaller, powerful versions of itself that would later reflect the angels to come.

Leif & Jess - This angel is seriously wounded and split in half, with its initial destruction being what drags Seras into Unit 00. She trains and this is Seras' first Angel deployment is against the Angels's second half, Jess, while Unit 00 destroys Leif.

Incognito - Very similar to Leliel in that it's fake body is the shadow and the shadow is its body. Swallows up a lot of London-3 and requires Integra to pilot Knight into battle.

Jan Valentine - First to appear, stays above ground in London-3, fought by Seras and Walter. It is destroyed by Seras' Anti-Angel Tank Rifle, shielded by Walter in the Blackbird. Closest to Ramiel/Matarael, able to spew insane beams and acid.

Luke Valentine - Second to appear, burrows down into the Geofront where it is confronted by Alucard. The angel core/S2 drive is eaten by Unit 00. Can fly and is extremely fast.

Alhambra - PIP IS HERE ROROROR. Angel attack where Pip and Seras must sync and work together due to the speediness and duplication of this angel. Combitnation of Gaghiel and Shamshel. Defeated by Mercenary and Harkonnen <3

Rip Van Winkle - While work is going on with Units 03 and 04, an angel attacks! Anderson's Unit 02 goes to deal with it but is severely damaged in the process, leading to Alucard's isolated assault on the angel. He also eats this one. Why is he doing that.

Schrödinger - A virus! The Ireul of this AU. The Aluquarium is destroyed, the MAGI computer (called INQUISITOR) is threatened, and all Pilots are grounded/trapped in their entry plugs, mentally torturing them all <3. This is solely for Integra, Heinkel, Yumiko, Walter, and Enrico to solve in a battle of wits and speedy coding. Enrico, Heinkel, and Yumiko save the day by programming and communicating with the INQUISITOR.

Zorin Blitz - The 9th angel attack is this AU's Zeruel, immediately after the 8th. It is a brutal all-out fight, with almost every unit being deployed. Seras' unit runs out of power and basically has an Asuka breakdown moment but is saved by Pip, dragging her Eva back to the Evangelion launch pad. In the process, he is stabbed by the Angel and his entry plug is punctured. He tells Seras to consume him and her evangelion gaining a new power source and mind of its own, devouring Pip and his Evangelion. Seras' evangelion goes BERSERK after devouring and absolutely obliterates the 9th angel

The Captain - Wolfish and near impossible to attack, the 10th angel attacks NERV HQ. Seras' eva is still under lockdown and Alucard is MIA (recovering in the remains of the Aluquarium) so it is up to Integra and Walter. Walter ends up going full Rei after the angel attempts to infiltrate his unit, having a similar angel-human interaction as Armisael. Walter self-destructs, killing the angel, and while his body is recovered in..shreds... some kid shows up a few days later. Hello 13th Angel.

Helena (Anderson) - Anderson's evangelion, Unit 02 Paladin, is infected by an angel while being shipped back to London-3 after getting repairs. Paladin attacks NERV and in the process, kills Enrico. Alucard is sent to dispose of it after Seras is severely wounded, but finds it difficult to destroy the entry plug - knowing Anderson is in there. Alucard and Seras strong arm the angelic evangelion into submission, with Alucard tearing the entry plug out. However, the rescue missions is intercepted by Evangelion Unit 09 - Angel of Death - who promptly destroys the entry plug and effectively crushing Anderson to death. Harkonnen and Baskerville are severely damaged after this attack. After this, Heinkel becomes the lead Iscariot pilot of Unit "Martyr".

Doktor - A special angel that can take multiple forms (looks similar to the Mass Production Evas from EoE). They herald the 13th angel and are taken out by the young, cocky, and annoying Walter 2.0 in the Angel of Death. Immediately after defeating this angel, Walter, in his ascended eva and armed with the Spear of Longinus, moves to assault NERV HQ.

Walter - CUE NINTH SYMPHONY ODE TO JOY... The final angel and Kaworu equivalent. NERV tech Yumiko attempts to blow up Walter's evangelion's entry plug from base, but in freak angel grotesqueness, Longinus Wires dice her to pieces IN THE CONTROL ROOM. Chaos ensues. Seras and Alucard chase him down to Terminal Dogma and his head is shot off by Heinkel in Unit Martyr in lieu of Alucard's hesitance.

Instrumentality ensues <3

Okay that's all I got for now I'll draw the Iscariot lineup at. some point. eventually.

[mirthfulmoonshine]

WIPS? In this economy? More likely than you think

Really trying to conceptualize and fully capture the vibes I want for my Hellsing OCs. They’re this well oiled and in sync machine, very in tune with one another’s strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. They fight like one unit. While they can execute operations in their lonesome, the three of them simply thrive when together.

I think this dynamic would make for a good culture shock and be conducive to growth for a post-canon Seras. Most of who she’s fought before has been on their lonesome and here comes Iscariot’s new trump cards, placed in the public specific to target her.

Each Inquisitor is there for a different reason — challenging Seras with three different personalities, set of skills, and motivations to wrestle with simultaneously.

Hellsing OCs: Death Marks, Segni de morte

Sole Survivor of the Luna Nera

One of Iscariot's most closely guarded secret is Perpetua's state of existence. Her time spent captive with the Luna Nera is a barricaded document and series of audio recording sessions, kept down as to immortalize the only known survivor of a Luna Nera so that her experience could prove beneficial to the cult's eradication. Pictured in these files are her 'death marks' - or segni de morte - a trademark of dead bodies left behind by the Luna Nera. Supernatural markings with a simple code, each band, chevron, crescent, and line demarcating one's role, purpose, relations, and sentence within the cult. Iscariot's research is inconclusive on the nature of these markings - they are similar to tattoos, but can weep blood, spread, and inflame. Perpetua's markings web across her ankles, tops of her feet, palms, back of her hands, fingers, and wrists. They convey the hellish reality of her captivity. Etched in her skin is her status as a blood bag and as the chosen favorite of one of the two leaders - Λύσανδρος. Cursed by his immortality to share his life source with a mortal vessel, Λύσανδρος brands a favorite and stores his weakness in them: his own blood. Imbued with Λύσανδρος's blood, Perpetua can undo his immensely powerful disease and infestation with her own. However, as the bond was never broken by the time she escaped, Perpetua and Λύσανδρος are bound together in ways that transcend mortal understanding. The bleeding of these marks, Perpetua posits, is usually due to proximity to Λύσανδρος or strain on the bond. She covers these markings with shame, but is always attentive to them in the case they change.

Disease in the Vatican

The death marks begin to warp, burn, and ebb blood shortly after missing persons cases and disease spur along the fringes of Rome. Iscariot's Inquisitor is kept awake by nightmares and sleeplessness, telling her teammates and superiors that she believes herself to be at the doorstep of hell once more. Her condition worsens, something out of a classic vampire horror novel. Her concerns prove valid as the disease that wiped out Perpetua's town knocks on theVatican and Section XIII's door. Symptoms written in Iscariot's files about the Luna Nera reared their ugly head -- pallor, weight loss, lack of appetite, lethargy, aches, hallucinations, fever and chills/sweats, hemoptysis, seizures, darkening of the appendages akin to necrosis or frostbite. Λύσανδρος.

❤️ Vampires of the Épicea Rouge, a safe house for the undead. 1960's. (Hellsing OC lore dump)

Salome, Ira, and their backgrounds already has some lore here!

The Épicea Rouge, or Red Pine, is a secret halfway or safe house for vampires in underground London, located deep and hidden in Soho. Established in 1922, the Épicea Rogue has had many tenants, mostly consisting of elderly or freshly made undead seeking a better or relatively normal life. It's rules are strict, accepting only the most well-behaved and those opposed to hapless violence in the name of immortality. Being a vampiric hub, it is a target of Hellsing. Additionally, it's owner's tangled past has put the Épicea Rouge on the radar of a vampire cult, the Luna Nera. It is eventually destroyed by Hellsing's pet vampire and Angel of Death in a final, brutal raid. The building it resided in would eventually become the Valentine Brother's club.

It's founder, owner, defender, and bartender is Ira Absil, a very powerful vampire of the will (made vampiric the same way as Alucard basically) from 16th century France.

A Protestant killed in the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, alongside his family, Ira's hatred was strong enough to win him a chance at undeath. In his early rage, Ira fell into the Luna Nera, earning much praise for his destructive capacity and willingness to devour human life.

However, his anger did not last forever and he eventually turned away from the Luna's vampiric supremacy ideals and human torture. After a stint in Whitby, Yorkshire England, Ira betrays his fellow Luna member Ernest Müller and saves the life of Marlene Harlan, soon to be Salome.

The Épicea Rouge is his ideal vampire haven: holding immortality in high regard, the thirst for blood a burden, and the pain of undeath being soothed by the beauty of community. While he does not venture out from the Épicea, Ira would do anything to defend his precious slice of heaven and her inhabitants.

His vampirism granted him powerful hemokinesis/blood manipulation and shadow-like magic. He fights like an animal, clawing and biting and spewing blood and shadowy viscera from his spine and arms. Think Shadow the Hedgehog meets Miguel O'Hara.

Ira is fatally wounded by Alucard and Walter in the destruction of the Épicea Rouge. He is drained completely by Salome via blood siphonining.

Salome is Ira's closest confidant and former fledgeling. At night, she is the Épicea Rouge's laundress, making sure its tenants have clean, comfortable sheets, towels, and clothing. By day, she is Hellsing's secretary and stenographer for Round Table Conferences, usually working with Sir Irons directly.

While never a member of the Luna Nera, Salome has a target on her back for being a surviving human of Luna Nera interaction - a very forbidden and dangerous liability for the cult.

Marlene Harlan was a sole owner of a run down bed and breakfast in Whitby when Ira and Ernest appeared. They sought to kill her and turn her business into a Luna Nera hub. However, Ira and her ended up actually forming a deep bond. In retaliation, Ernest attacked her and left her for dead. Ira turned her into a vampire of the blood (Seras' type of vampirism) and took her in.

Salome is Walter's biggest op.

She undermines Hellsing missions and disrupts Walter's field work as often as she can to displace Hellsing's drawing close to the Épicea. She is exposed however after she confronts Walter directly on a mission and uh oh! Facial recognition!

Salome was not Ira's fledgeling for long, earning her independence a few months or so into her vampirism. She has similar hemokinesis, but only with her own blood, able to solidify it into weapons, shields, or spikes give or take the amount of blood she spills. However, she can siphon blood that is not her own. After taking Ira into her being, Salome becomes much stronger, able to fend both Hellsing agents off and escape with her head attached.

I have a fic in my head involving these two where they serve as begrudging plot aid for Hellsing to expose and destroy the Luna Nera. Will it ever be written? No.

Anyways all of my Hellsing OCs are connected.

🩵✝️ Inquisitor Malachi

Hellsing OC - Iscariot agent Inquisitor Malachi

Malachi Sawyer is the only American Inquisitor and perhaps the only one not thrilled to be an agent. Malachi works with the Vatican Apostolic Archives and the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences to aid Iscariot.

A former Navy fighter pilot and student of history, Malachi found his calling in history and in the Vatican. He swore off his old life and joined a clerical path, assisting the Archives and Committee. However, after an undisclosed incident, Malachi became indebted to Iscariot, trapped in a contract that seems to extend without ceasing. His service is two-fold.

Half of his life is spent archiving and researching on the behest of Iscariot agents, directors, and Inquisitor related issues. The other half is donning the Archangel Apparatus, a uniquely designed set of metallic wings that permit Malachi flight, defense, and offense — at the price of being bolted into his spine. Armed with an AR15, Malachi is the secret weapon of the post-canon Iscariot.

Despite his conditions and military background, Malachi is lighthearted, cordial, and talkative with a dark, angrier side he controls quite well. He is a gym rat with a heart or gold, doting on his fellow Inquisitors and always lending a helping hand.

Hi mirth, I wanted to ask you a question about your Hellsing ocs, which by the way I found them very interesting, I wanted to know what their relationship is like with the members of Iscariote/Section XIII, I like your work ( ╹▽╹ ) ❤️

Hi there! Thank you! They're my silly little guys and gals 🩵 This turned out WAAAY longer than it probably needed to be so check below the cut!

Anderson: Cordial professionalism at its finest from Malachi's end, but Anderson definitely treats him like a son. Malachi admires Anderson's diligence and commitment, alongside his strength and aptitude, but has a hard time reconciling Anderson's loving, paternal side with his more bloodthirsty side, finding them incompatible. Despite the arms length Malachi tends to keep the Father, Anderson always finds a way to get the Inquisitor to confide in him and maintain a surprisingly intimate bond.

Enrico: Strong dislike in both directions. Malachi cannot stand his ego and hubris while Enrico cannot stand Malachi's by-the-book goodness. Malachi challenges him any chance he gets and is continuously finding ways to try and undermine Maxwell's authority to do what is right. However, his contract with Iscariot makes grand displays of defiance impossible. On good days, Malachi just keeps his head down and begrudgingly gets Maxwell files and historical record.

Heinkel: Malachi thinks Heinkel doesn't like much of anyone, so he tends to stay out of their way. He doesn't see much of them save for the few missions they are assigned to work together. While they can cooperate in small doses, their overall relationship is strictly work related and a 'brothers in Christ' vibe more than anything else. After the Crusade, they rarely speak.

Yumiko/Yumie: Gets along with Yumiko swell! Yumiko probably considers them closer friends than they actually are, but Malachi is certainly not opposed to her. Both are sickeningly positive and encouraging to one another. Yumie by comparison is a little more strained for obvious personality reasons.

Makube: After Maxwell's much-needed replacement, Malachi bonds much easier to Makube. While he is still not the biggest fan of the Director's personality, such as his nonchalant, scheming behavior, they get along much better.

Perpetua: Ambiguous close friends/potential romantic tension. Views her as one of, if not his closest companion and confidant in Iscariot. They are an impeccable team together, with immense coordination and similar attitudes towards tasks at hand. He is incredibly sympathetic to her history but equally impressed by her determination in the face of it all, seeing her as a soft beacon of hope. He is her shield in combat.

Calev: Tight brothers, always finding a way to spend time together outside of their job capacities. Malachi does a lot of work for Calev's exorcisms in that he often is Calev's go-to resource for documentation on precedent and case work. In combat, they are also super in-tune to one another and Malachi is inclined to cover him with great diligence.

Anderson: Father/daughter relationship that is guised as teacher/prodigy. Anderson personally saw to her recuperation and training after her freedom from the vampiric cult, cultivating her healing into being an agent for Iscariot. He deeply regrets her changing into a regenerator but encourages her nonetheless to pursue righteousness and the calling of combating the undead. The loss of Anderson to the crusade was shattering to her existence, as if the rug was pulled out underneath her and there was only a void below. While she does recover in an attempt to honor his affection for her, she is never the same.

Enrico: She is the one Inquisitor who "gets along" with Enrico. Amicable and conversational at best, slightly contemptuous at worst. Her main gripe with Enrico (besides his general attitude) is that she often feels as though he doesn't listen to her. She pities him more than anything, seeing him for what he truly is.

Heinkel: In passing conversationalist at best. They have an authority dynamic in that, as an Inquisitor, Perpetua does outrank Heinkel, leading to the latter not particularly looking to engage with her. This does not bother Perpetua all that much as Heinkel's brashness is a little too much for her in some ways. Following the Crusade, their relationship is even smaller, tag teaming missions in silence.

Yumiko/Yumie: Distant sisterhood, really only refined by their time in chapel together. She and Yumiko spends some time working on chapel routines and supplementary curriculum for Ferdinand Luke's on their off time. Perpetua and Yumie do not speak to one another after a horrible falling out early into their careers as Iscariot agents.

Makube: The change in leadership was still a struggle for Perpetua, who does not particularly like major change. Despite this, she and Makube get along decently well, mostly out of a shared conscious for sparing Iscariot more damage while continuing the crusade on the undead as a whole. Makube and her bond surprisingly well - their personalities seem to be at odds but in her grief after the Crusade, it works.

Malachi: Conflicted love interest. As his fellow Inquisitor, Perpetua feels a need to remain strictly professional and curtail her own desires and wants, especially those of the romantic type. Regardless, they are extremely close. She admires his strength and positive attitude and heavy devotion to God. Though she prefers isolation, she is always wiling to sit in his presence. He has her back, and she has his tenfold.

Calev: Brother and sister from another mister. Perpetua adores Calev's nature and tendency to care for others before anything else. His charitable behavior and quiet, calm atmosphere is refreshing to her. Being the two Inquisitors with the least mobility, they have an immense amount of trust in one another, with Perpetua often delegating him to lead to not only teach him but to help him grow in his self confidence.

Anderson: Calev admires Anderson like a celebrity, expertly veiled behind his stoicism. If anything, he aspires to be like Anderson in terms of effectiveness, accuracy, and seniority, and treats him with the utmost respect as a result. While Anderson tries to be a little less professional out of genuine care, Calev keeps a strictly studious and cool exterior in an attempt to look composed and well mannered. While stoicism and coolness is his nature by default, Calev's confidence issues definitely play into his bolstering of these traits before people he aspires to impress. Anderson knows this. Poor guy.

Enrico: The Director gets under Calev's skin a lot. Criticism and outbursts from Enrico tumble around Calev's head for days and often requires a lot of diligence to break away from. As a result, Calev often strays away from Maxwell unless absolutely necessary.

Heinkel: Decent friends! Most of their out of work time spent together is existing in silence with one another while doing separate activities. Though they would not exactly call each other friends, they certainly enjoy one another's company and time.

Yumiko/Yumie: Next to no relation. When they do see each other, they're amicable but Yumiko fears Calev doesn't like her due to his general unfazed nature. Yumie on the other hand simply doesn't acknowledge him.

Makube: Makube thinks they are close and he favors Calev out of the three. Calev sees Makube as a decent leader and admires his more...backdoor diplomacy approach in comparison to Enrico's abrasive dominance. I personally hc as Makube as coming from a darker, exorcist background so they share a lot of vocation similarities.

Perpetua: Sibling dynamic with an underlying teacher/student aspect. Calev is very close with Perpetua and looks up to her diligence, confidence, and triumph over suffering. He puts a lot out to protect her in battle and stand by her side, especially when Malachi is not with them. He wants to protect her and prove himself valuable to the team more than anything.

Malachi: Brothers in arms. Calev also has immense respect and admiration for Malachi, who is his closest friend most times. They work together for their jobs, constantly practice and spar together, and both enjoy bothering Perpetua and Aurelio. They often go into Rome together to run errands.
