Whos skid? (And claire)

an old oc! I actually first came up with Skid in middle school, though they are Wildly different from that first iteration lol. The general idea is that Skid is a 2000 year old human made demon ie they come from earth. Which makes them a loophole case where humans aren't legally allowed to boot them from the planet.

They were sort of magically enslaved by this evil witch for a couple centuries up until meeting Claire. Claire had this deadly illness that was slowly eating away at her and so the two made this deal where Skid basically gets to live and care for Claire's body for as long as it takes to find a cure for her illness, keeping Claire in a sort of stasis all the while, so she isn't actively aging or growing nor is her illness getting worse. What did skid get out of this deal? A way out of their contract with the evil murder witch. It's a win win.

Also a big part of the story is this back and forth that angels and demons have over who has the right to colonize earth, basically lol. And Angels currently have the upper hand as they ran a smear campaign against demons ages ago and used capitalism to start putting down roots, such as this Really Important organization that's employed by (though not ran by) the government in order to deal with supernatural and magical issues.

Skid likes playing detective though and as a part of their "community service" they wind up as a lackey for said Angel organization. Along the way they happen to adopt a lot of down on their luck magic orphans(sometimes literally other times its more emotionally).

And also there's some fun little twists and turns with Skid's past coming back to haunt them. And one day I'll turn this into a comic or something, hopefully,, one day,,,,

have some fun lil skid drawings ft Eliza(skid's adopted daughter) as a baby and also some plot relevant Angel characters
