IEYTD guys for your consideration! My Agent Phoenix + four guys who may or may not be friends. It's still a little unclear. You can read more info about them over here!
Uptight and nitpicky, these are the words generally used to describe Professor Dobson. He often loses himself to bouts of anger and lashes out, raising his voice as he boomingly calls out on a student’s slack performance, much to their chagrin.
Despite this, he genuinely cares about them and only wants what's best for his students, even if his way of expressing it may be unorthodox.
His always foul mood might be the result of crankiness due to lack of sleep, for he frequently plunges himself headfirst into workloads and tends to take care of the various issues that arise in the school personally. And considering it's the infamous Night Raven College, there's always trouble just around the corner.
One thing that can ruffle the fae’s wings more than unruly mentees is “fun things”, particularly romance. He openly gripes about his distaste for the subject, saying they’re “unnecessary” and that they “only serve as distractions from the important things in life.” Now, it would be fine and all if he wasn’t so adamant on making everyone see things his way…
Oh the comedy and irony of Marshal Steel being on the breakroom fridge! Karma really does come for everyone.
Julia is honestly living her best life after years of Chen's dissaproving looks. Argent will never let Steel live this down (and also happy that this 100% makes people forget that she also kissed Sidestep). Herald probably regrets ever taking the hero drug rn.
And Chen? well he's just going to have to find more subtle places to kiss his villain boyfriend - the papparazi is truly everywhere.
meanwhile, at the Sidestep base:
(you're lucky River likes you so much Nehal or your ass would be fired)

“Well isn’t this just a delightful little surprise!” The vampire exclaimed, clapping her hands in delight.
Marshall’s body swayed along with the weight of his mind, pulled by the gravitation of her magnificent spell. “Wh- um, what… isss…?” He asked, brows furrowing in the immense confusion rattling his brain as he intensely studied her nearly shocked expression.
“You’re such a nice little one all enthralled! I never would have guessed!” Tenderly, she scritched at the underside of his chin, blissful touch that only scattered his thoughts further.
“R… really…?” Any semblance of praise strangely blossomed warmth through his chest, a sensation he’d rarely ever felt.
Patting him atop the head, the vampire’s power filled him to the brim with bouncing bubbles and cotton candy clouds, drool falling right from his parted lips. “Oh yes, my dear. All that kicking and screaming seems to fly right out the window when your brain goes along with it. Who would’ve thought that under your feral state there still lies a gentle little boy who only wants to please?”
“Uh, um… s- sorry, I… um, can’t-,”
“Poor thing,” she pouted, “your brain is so heavy right now that you must be having much trouble understanding all my big words and fast speech. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it, though, thinking is not your job. You just be all sweet and polite while I get you ready.”
He nodded along, no clue what he could be agreeing to. Marshall simply craved more of her approval and enthrallment that did so well at squashing his head to mush. “Mmm… okayyyy…”
Presenting a compilation of all of my IEYTD OCs so far! They have their own plot going on but idk if I have the energy to talk about that here and now. I already made a post about Black Mamba so they get to have one (1) pic only. Here's some introductory blurbs I wrote for them under the cut!
Mina Magpantay is an aspiring detective with unshakeable determination, even if the situation gets rough. She enjoys solving mysteries and playing in escape rooms. She's also socially adept and enjoys bonding with people. After the Peacemaker fiasco, she has vowed to keep her eyes open for any slip-up Zoraxis tries to make again. Unfortunately, her curiosity ended up getting her involved with a very dangerous operative, after an agent tried to protect her.
Franz Marshall is a very serious agent whose first priority is the safety of everyone involved. Her time in the field changed her worldview a hundred times over, and her disdain for the Agency is almost as intense as her disdain for Zoraxis. It only got more intense after Dr. Prism left, as she was all for her Robot Agent project. She wanted to return to the field after her handling agent got extremely injured, and she vowed to finish their mission. Whatever it takes.
"Dr. Schaden Freude" is a graduate student who's starting their supervillain career early by applying as a part-time assistant in Zoraxis. They're clever, observant, and strangely friendly. They're starting to be more aware of how Zor treats their subordinates, though, and they have...some notes. But it's not like they have the power to argue with them anyhow. As an assistant they ended up being given the task of handling Mamba, despite their lack of experience in being a support agent.
Operative Black Mamba is the fruit of Zoraxis's obsession with the one and only Agent Phoenix, with the express purpose of creating a perfect rival to the Agency's greatest weapon. The problem is that this clone had the gall to build a personality of her own, fueled by her own confusing emotions and motivations, to the point that she's becoming more of a liability than an asset. They still keep her around though...but maybe she's one slip-up away from being discarded completely.
