Easier To Run - Chapter 1 - Ally_Futuras - Devil May Cry [Archive of Our Own]

Okayyyy so I did another thing. It's based off that idea I had for Vergil and Nero. Based off this post (detailed) and this post (later chapter?)

Okay but this moment between Austin and Apollo is actually hurting me so much like…. These poor demigod CHILDREN are constantly fighting and constantly in danger because of their godly parents and yet they barely see or hear from them at all but still they love their parents and they’re proud of them and it just is so heartbreaking

Every moment once Vergil becomes whole again that clues Dante in that this is not the same Vergil from the Temi-ni-Gru [aka everything that tells Dante that Vergil has taken V's character development]

"If I beat Nero, then by default I beat you, agreed Dante?" DMC3 Vergil would NEVER. He did not compromise when it came to fighting Dante, he had to be the one to defeat him. Vergil only compromised to shoot Arkham and then went right back to fighting Dante.

"But if we continue to let these roots spread through town, it'll just interfere with our business." Vergil may say it like this but it's clear he wants to close the separation between the human and underworld. I don't think it's a stretch to say that DMC3 Vergil would not have cared and kept fighting, Vergil being willing to stop the Qliphoth and stay in the Underworld isn't a selfish act.

"I'm more than capable of handling this on my own" You can literally see Dante turn to Vergil in shock when he says this, he's giving him a chance to go back to the human world with Nero instead of being stuck in the Underworld with him. Vergil? Giving Dante an olive branch? This is definitely not the same Vergil that Dante fought before.

"We got plenty of time" Vergil gives Dante a genuine happy smile with this line, I don't think we've seen Vergil smile like this since he was a kid (Visions of V) which means Dante hasn't either. They're fighting like they did when they were kids again, keeping score and having banter. This is the happiest they've been in a long time, they get to be brothers again.

It'd probably take a few conversations between fighting (those are happening I know it, Itsuno told me himself/j) for Dante to get the full story of Vergil's character development through V, but those moments key Dante in that Vergil has changed, he no longer has to fight him to protect the world. He just wants to fight him because that's his brother, and he loves him.

Just an average day of Nero hanging out with the twins:

> Vergil refuses to go out in the public unless it's necessary like the introvert he is

> Dante wants to go out because that's where pizza and strawberry sundaes are

> Dante messes with no half melted strawberry sundaes from deliveries

> Only the fresh shit at Fredi’s will do or no dice

> How else will Vergil catch up on all the human wonders, if he doesn't go outside?

> Dante suggests going to the cinema, bowling, arcades etc.

> Vergil is only willing to go to calm places with no crowds like library, bookstore or a museum

> Nero tries to find a compromise and contain the situation

> It's going well, obviously

You ever think about how painfully awkward the ride home from the Institute must have been for the Augustus family?

I get the vibe that Darrow declaring his allegiance at the closing ceremony was kind of a rarity, so I assume everyone went home with their families for at least a little bit before they were offered jobs and positions in other houses.

And obviously I know this isn’t how it went down but in my head its just Augustus, mustang, the jackal, and Darrow in a car together. Augustus makes mustang and the jackal sit in the back so Darrow can have shotgun. The jackal keeps glaring daggers at mustang but she’s looking resolutely out the window pretending he’s not there. The silence is oppressive. Darrow tries to turn the radio on but Augustus slaps his hand away. Adrius asks if they can stop by the hospital to get his hand checked out but Augustus ignores him. Hospitals are for winners, he says. Darrow wants to die.

you know the contrast between how Vergil is presented vs thinking too hard about Vergil’s story is pretty funny. Man’s reputation is this iconic badass, the pinnacle of what video game rivalries can be, the coolest guy to play as, the guy who breaks every game he’s added to,

and then you go to the story and like. man’s lost his free will and autonomy at 19 and then came back a fractured man half of which was a lovecraftian eye beast the other half of which was a chronically ill goth man. and then he reunites and hes in like his 40s now I believe but legit the last time he was actually in a game where he wasn’t being mind controlled when he was 19 which is both sad but also thinking about how this guy who’s considered one of the top badasses of gaming has never really lived life outside of being a teenager.

Anyways this is the secret comedic potential of post DMC5 for Vergil because not only has the human world probably changed a fair bit in terms of technology, if he’s sticking around Dante he’s gonna actually have to learn in depth how taxes and grocery shopping work. Amazing.

I know I design him with the intention that he becomes an evasion tank, but there's an irony I find very amusing in making his new magitek armor lighter than his original.

Do you have ideas for how to make an oc who was taken in by nero?

I've thought a lot about this! I actually made refs for @deadangelos of what I imagine the canon Nero kids could be like (and I have a lot of hcs/aus about them)!

From what we know about the Tri kids, there seem to be three main elements to them: 1.) Roman-themed names, 2.) Their powers/roles are meant to replace one of the Olympians (or gods in general), possibly their own actual godly parent, and 3.) They were orphaned somehow, either through Nero orchestrating their mortal parent(s)' death or just being orphaned through less malicious means. They also all seem to be in the age range of 6-to-18ish. Maybe closer to 8-to-16. Also boy howdy do these kids have problems. They're also probably all particularly powerful demigods for whoever their godly parent is, based on Meg.

What I did for a lot of these guys, based on what we know about Meg, is focused on the mythology of whichever god Nero intends them to usurp and center their character around some of those themes and roles, with the thoughts of how Nero would raise them to mold them to those concepts. I also like to think about exactly what iteration of their parent their godly parent is - Like Meg's Demeter is very specifically Eleusinian Mysteries Demeter, for example, which we're told is why she's so particularly powerful as a Demeter kid.

So, for example: That Hermes kid is themed specifically around Hermes' psychopomp and messenger roles, so he's a really high-energy guy who can see ghosts and that combo is not doing him a lot of favors. Cassius in TOA is unclear if he's a Dionysus or Zeus kid, but I like to theme him around specifically Zeus' childhood myths because I think that's a really interesting aspect of him to focus on (and in doing so I can set up the Tri kids as basically being reverse order of the Olympians age-wise, which is fun - though if you make Cassius a Dionysus kid then they're probably just approximately same age order of the Olympians). Lucius and the Artemis-themed kid I've based off Apollo and Artemis' more destructive myths, because I figured it'd be most interesting to think about how Nero might foster those aspects if he sees it as more useful to him. The Hephaestus and Dionysus kids' are based around how Nero might have raised them to mirror the childhood myths of their respective roles and what effect that has on them, etc etc.

Hopefully this gives you some ideas!
