Tiny snippet for wip wednesday, from the first chapter of my wyllstarion modern-ish AU with public defender!Wyll. Enjoy Astarion being a little shit (affectionate):
__
Milly stopped mid-word and turned to Wyll as he carefully opened the door into the cramped interview room. And, yes—there, across the glass and the grate below it was Astarion, artfully slouched as he sat on the stool in the dim holding cell on the other side. He straightened up as his eyes alighted on Wyll, glittering with amusement. After so many brief meetings over the years, Wyll had never quite placed their color—they usually looked brown in the yellow tint of the courthouse lighting, but now and then he swore they shone almost red. Astarion’s face itself was all pale hard planes and angles, cut across now by his sharp grin. And as always, his silvery curls were effortlessly elegant, despite spending the night in a cell.
“Wyll, darling!” he said theatrically, heavy emphasis on the first syllable of ‘darling.’ “How delightful! It has been far too long.”
“He giving you any trouble, Mil?” asked Wyll, smiling.
Milly set down her notepad on the ledge in front of the grate next to her pile of case paperwork, raising her eyebrows in a mock-earnest expression. “Oh, no. Mr. Ancunin was just telling me about his current employment as a princess of House Nightstar.”
“And Ms. Tav was just delivering the news that, as a princess, I likely wouldn’t financially qualify for her services,” said Astarion, with an exaggerated sigh.

I-1
Introducing my favorite OC, I-1
Basic info:
I-1 (Serial number: Batch I, Object #1) - Given name: Ivan Derevov. Nicknamed "The One" in MMA
Physical Age: 25 (As of year 2113)
Gender: Cis male
Sexuality: Unknown
Height: 185 cm (6'1)
Weight: 86 kg (191 lbs)
Birthday: October 23rd
Blood type: AB Rh+
Dominant hand: Right
Occupation: Solder | MMA fighter | Mercenary
Backstory:
Nearly 50 years after the 3rd World War that left most of Russia uninhabitable, Only 2 major cities remain - Moscow and Novosibirsk that has grown in size and power significantly. Both of them turn into independent city-states.
Thanks to a breathrough in bioengineering, a "medical" company called NovaZhizn (New Life) was commisioned by the Novosibirsk government to create "affordable and replaceable soldiers"
During the development, NZ scientists ran into issues with the fast aging process, as batches B to E died or got sick shortly after it. They saw success after batch F went into production, although the aging process caused them to mutate in many odd ways. Batch G and H were perfected physically but lacked the mental capacity to be used in more complex operations.
In 2105, Batch I was created, becoming the first perfected batch that has come out from NovaZhizn. Producing 12 individuals that were effectively "supersoldiers" by human standards.
I-1, aged up to 17 years old was the "poster boy" of batch I, recieving the most augumentations, including a reinforced skeleton, augumented nervous system and internal organs. The most complicated modification being a "rewired" heart, having its chambers split up and scattered in his body, reducing the risk of critical injury and improving the heart's work. He also has a third, smaller lung. One of the more important augumentations is his skull being reinforced, making it resistatnt to even small caliber bullets.
In 2107, the First Mosow-Siberian war broke out and I-1 was rushed to the frontlines, after his memories were burnt out and replaced with that of a fairly normal human. One thing that was noted though, was his attachement to the lead NZ scientist, who (similairly to some animals) was theorized to take up the role of a parental figure in I-1's brain.
During the war, he was appointed as a tanker, losing his right arm after it got caught and crushed under the armor of his vehicle.
After the war he was released "into the wild" as an experiment to see how well he'd adjust to civilian life. Shortly after that he decided to become a professional fighter.
After the war, a new MMA organization was founded, called the AFL (Augumented Fighting League) in which fighters with prosthetics were allowed to compete in. I-1 quickly got his professional license (Passing the medical tests thanks to Novosibirsk healthcare being less than ideal and NovaZhizn's manipulations with his medical record) and made his debut in the AFL in 2109.
He quickly amassed a fanbase, using his fighting skills to gain a solid record of 28 wins (26 by knockout) and only 2 losses and became the AFL light-heavyweight champion. He gained the nickname "The One" during his title reign.
Other:
He drives a very heavily modified Nissan 240z, almost a relic. It's unknown how he got his hands on one.
Yes, he had a mustache and mullet arc.
Has a state mandated manipulative girlfriend (NZ agent)
Makes prosthetic arms for himself, has a whole collection of them.
Prefers using handguns to rifles
