The Maranos are ready for Edgewave!! 🎸

For @salemssimblr's Edgewave Crowd Call! 😉

Thanks to a random burst of inspo, I had to submit these two to be a part of the Edgewave crowd, especially if it involved the amazing Alice + the Madness. It was so fun to give them "music festival outfits" too, the funniest part is how Ada's outfit is her signature "orange shirt and blue denim" 😆

A little bit of backstory/info just for fun: Ada and Mory have grown up bonding over music. After getting into several of the same metal and rock bands in high school, they started attending concerts together. Eventually, this became a tradition for the siblings, and even though Mory's more often than not off travelling the world, they still meet up for their annual favorites.

I think it's pretty cool of the other raimon students to forgive Kidou for bullying their soccer club the first time around under Teikoku's threat of destroying the schools of teams that lost to them, but having a fanclub after just ONE match?? that he was late to????

Pairing: Raphael x Raksha (OC, not Tav/Durge) I consider Tav a separate character with their specific story elements - Raksha never gets abducted by the Mind Flayers, nor she ever gets a tadpole. Her home is also not Baldur's Gate but the city of Helgabal, in the kingdom of Damara! :)

Warnings: 18+ for sexual themes (in later chapters), age gap (Raphael is like... *several* centuries older, if not millennia), slow burn.

Summary: Eleven years before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, Raphael's attentions for a young, ambitious tiefling turn into something deep enough for him to want her as his bride. There's only one problem - Raksha slays infernal beings for a living. (This is pretty much an experiment feat. a Raphael more in touch with his human feelings)

"Perfume lingers about your flesh Like incense about a censer; You charm like the evening, Tenebrous, passionate nymph

Ah! the most potent philtres Are weaker than your languor, And you know the caresses That make the dead live again!

You tear me open, dark beauty, With derisive laughter, And then look at my heart With eyes as soft as moonlight"

[Les Fleurs du Mal — Charles Baudelaire]

[24 Ches, 1481 DR]

Raphael's mind was so inconveniently clouded by that mortal; a tiefling whose veins bore Archdevil Baalzebul's blood - his father's greatest and most hated rival.

Four long years he'd been watching, stalking her since she started her rise to Paladin Captain at nineteen until now, at twenty-three. At first, the Cambion didn't give much weight to her androgynous visage appearing in his dreams; not until he found himself fantasizing more and more about his hand lost in the sea of her inky black hair, with her muscular arms around his neck...

If Mephistopheles' ambition to oust Asmodeus mirrored his own, Raksha's rapid promotion wasn't too different from Baalzebul's rise as the Master of the Nine Hells' favorite - but unlike his father, Raphael saw that as something worthy of praise rather than enmity.

Fate was not without irony for the man who adopted and raised Raksha was the head of an extremist sect of the cult of Ilmater, the "Martyred Father" - the young tiefling's zealotry was one of the main reasons she managed to climb the ranks so fast: her dedication to purge the world from vice and sin brought her to the deepest pits of Avernus to fight against evil in its home.

But that didn't deter Raphael from wanting Raksha for himself, even if he was everything she fought against: she was the forbidden fruit, the sweetest he would ever taste.

He would stay in the mirror room at the House of Hope for hours, scrying the tiefling go about her life, without knowing he even existed if not for some fleeting glances whenever he visited the court of the Lord she served, the cathedral she lived at or the training grounds his beloved Paladin would train at along with her companions.

Raksha would look at him and ignore his presence as yet another curious, random person wanting to see the famous Holy Vengeance, whose sword slayed countless fiends from the Hells. Korrilla, sick of seeing the pathetic state of longing her boss was in, decided to prod him into doing something.

"Just go talk to her. You had a thousand mistresses" - the Warlock thought for a split second to her sister - "This... Raksha can't be too different from all the others, no?" "You are right, many were the lovers to entertain me in my boudoir"

Raphael's thoughtful eyes fixated on Raksha's reflection in the Scrying Eye and an almost paternal smile appeared on his lips: she was practicing the speech for her nomination as Holy Inquisitor that would have taken place that very night. He knew she wouldn't have stopped until it was perfect. A formal, high society event that would culminate in a ball was the crowning moment of a lifetime of sacrifices for her.

"But she's... Something I rarely met in all these centuries. A kindred spirit"

Korrilla didn't have a hard time figuring out why: personality wise, Raksha was incredibly similar to her master's younger self with her pompous, brash attitude - a pride not unwarranted, given her accomplishments.

"I guess it makes sense" the Warlock thought, shrugging. After all, that was the same man who would fuck an Incubus glamoured to look exactly like him so falling in love for someone who had a brain similar to his wasn't too far off.

"I'll have to ask you to keep an eye on the House for me tonight, Korrilla" - Raphael ran his hand through his hair in a nervous gesture - "I have a ball to attend to"

Oh!!!! 13 10 and 4! I don’t mind whoever you choose I wanna know about them all haha 💐

Because it's free real estate im picking one OC for every question, thank you for the freedom <3

13 - What do they consider their weaknesses and would others agree?

Syleth considers his weakness to be his Oath. Which is definitely weird because he willingly became a paladin, and he loves being a paladin, he by and large agrees with his oath. He wouldn’t be a paladin if he didn’t believe in his oath.

But it limits him. He cannot do things he would want to do or say, he has to pay attention to the things that come out of his mouth. Saying the wrong thing can make him an OATHBREAKER. It also forces him to act when it might not be wisest. He is oathbound to destroy evil like devils, but what if the best way out of that situation is trough parley? He can’t even entertain the idea of the safest outcome because what if it breaks his oath?

It is Syleth’s blessing and curse.

10 - Describe their style of dress.

Maxwell would prefer to dress to the nines most of the time, sophisticated, extravagant. But they would prefer not being noticed more. It's not like they dress themselves drab, it's mostly just darker and muted colors and regular streetwear. To satisfy their hunger the clothes they wear are still highly expensive fashion brands.

4 - Describe their ideal day.

Wake up rested without any nightmares, stare at the fish tank installed into the wall next to your bed for 30 minutes. Have breakfast (it's cake). Check phone, ok great your crew hasn't blown anything up and there's no emergencies. Go to the Boneyard and walk Spoon with Chen. Give him a kiss before parting ways (make a joke about seeing him at work so he can squirm and wonder if that means you're dropping by Ranger HQ as River or you're causing a ruckus as Sidestep somewhere in the city, leave before he can ask). Go to work, the cover business one. Talk with Marcia for like an hour while fixing tech behind the counter. Go to your actual work in the warehouse and have a planning (see: hangout) session with the crew. Go to Ranger HQ (succesfully avoid Argent and Herald) to have lunch with Julia and maybe bother Chen (see: makeout with). Go back to work (the fake one) because somehow the fake business is doing pretty decently (you don't mind, you like fixing things). Have dinner with Chen, maybe finally let him convince you to spend the night. Go to bed (you don't have nightmares, you get to rest).

Tysm for the ask Goldfish! (..... or Gold..? just Fish? aaa sorry) Questions are from this OC ask game!*

How do you need to be loved?

Carefully, like a gentle rain on dry Earth

You've been left beaten down and by someone you really trusted and loved, so now love doesn't come easy for you. You want it to. You want to love and be loved, but you're not sure you remember how. So you need someone else to take the lead. They have to be gentle and sweet and patient. They have to watch out for you, and make sure you're doing okay, because most days you feel a little fragile, if not totally shattered. But someone will come along who will put those pieces back together again.

Going to post the last OC for today (hi Anita) and then since I'll be WFH, maybe queue up the rest (along with some other posts) for tomorrow? We've just got Jo and the rest of the apartment crew left!

It's so cute how Satan is holding a cat teaser toy in his battle intro. And also that he attacks with a book or a giant pair of cat paws with sharp claws.

Do we know what the relationship between milsiril and helki is? Those panels of her manhandling him for kabru are really funny, they seem close? Saw someone say helki was kabrus foster dad and was wondering if there was a source for that

As far as I know there's nothing about a romantic relationship officially between them (I ship tho) this isnt gonna be very straight foward cause I'm honestly still trying to figure out whats their current relationship.

He was Milsiril prisoner partner from when she was part of the canaries, from their interactions it seems they got along (at least better than she got with any other elf, they're always together and it's shown she pretty much shuts off everyone else, other nobles don't seem to be that close with the prisoners they're responsible for)

Just to explain better in the canaries there's Noble children and Prisoners, each noble is responsible to "keep an eye" on two prisoners and Milsiril was the noble responsible for Helki (unclear if she had another prisoner under her).

After Utaya she requested for him to be freed tho, so he's no longer a prisoner after she retirers. From the comics tho (especially Rin's extra) it seems he stayed with the canaries at least for a little longer than Milsiril, perhaps something similar to Erique? (I think Enrique was released for merit(功労) tho while that's not implied for Helki(報労) so I dont think he would have served as a guard?)

The same page now points him as an current ex canary tho

But I think this translation isn't very accurate? The original says

"ウタヤの報労として 赦免、引き受け"

First line is "as a reward for Utaya" then bellow "pardon, acceptance/undertaking" something like that? The translations seems to imply he was pardoned and given to her as a reward? But trying to search on google I think 引き受け seems to have a closer meaning to "taken responsability for"? Something like that is repeated by Fleki here.

So from my not very clear understanding they were Canary Partners and she vouched for him to be released after Utaya and now he either works for her or they're just friends (which i think its more accurate by how he was laughing at Kabru and how he was joining the canaries on the Rin thing without Milsiril, but I'm very biased about my perception of their relationship tbf)

If anyone else cares this much about this background guy that has very few lines please share what you think, I'm sucking up all the crumbs
