[impossible-rat-babies]

Also dnd game is done ;—;

[noctae-corvus]

Let's do #squad, parachute, zodiac, contact and shooting star for Athena, Noire and Dae!!

#squad: who’s friends with who? what are the squad dynamics like? 

Get prepared for me to mention a few characters i have only ever drawn like,, twice ever or never at all ahah. You may know some of these characters but stuff is being turned around to fit the lore better and yeeee

So the squad so to say consists of Athena, Leonidas, Desdaemon, Pyrrha (a human lesbian witch and major rebel spy that runs a bar in one of the shady corners of the city’s slums and also likes to gut “rowdy” male patrons), Raphaela (a fallen angel looking to find her purpose and a way back to the realm of her patron god, currently the best rebel sniper. Also lesbian,), Hermione (much like Dae, shared a fate of having had to work for the tyrant Tartarus- fancy as fuck vampire that taps into blood magic and poisons and has a great love for reptiles, snakes especially) and Ryujin (foreign mercenary recruited by the rebellion). Noire is still kinda part of the squad; but also has a distance, being considerably older than all of them and not getting into their shenaningans really.

So obviously there’s the twins, Athena and Leonidas with each other and their adoptive father, Noire. The twinnies are mischievous and often hanging out together, whether it be at a library or training or doing a marathon of the Sharkanado movies.

Athena and Desdae are best buds, platonic soulmates, actually literally bound to each other via a blood pact. They pretty much have no secrets between them and 

Desdae and Leonidas mayy or may not be friends with benefits and occasional drinking buddies alongside Ryujin and Pyrrha.

Pyrrha is like the fun mom of the squad, maintains a good relationship with everyone and often acts like an older sister. She is closest with the girls of the squad and Desdaemon. At the very least, if they want to vent their frustrations and get advice as well as a free drink, they know who to turn to.Raphaela is the actual mom of the squad, usually the one fretting over everyone’s well-being and scolding them for skipping meals and losing sleep. Bursts into Athena’s and Leo’s room to tell them to stop watching Sharkanado and finally go to bed. Literally called “bird mom”.

Hermione? Probably the youngest of the group. They all call her “bean”. She and Leonidas are the utter nerds and bond over books and science (and experiments involving ice and blood magic), while simultaneously judging everyone else’s fashion sense with Pyrrha. Dae and Hermione have a sibling-like bond.

Ryujin is the quietest of the group but still tags along for all the shenaningans. Sparring with him is something else and usually hangs with Raphaela. New to the group, still has fitting in to do.

Noire doesn’t get involved much, usually lets them do their own thing and makes sure they’re all not getting into trouble (or bails them out of trouble when it happens-)

Still have some fleshing out to do (and a lot of characters to actually draw-) but this is it pretty much! :’>

parachute: who does your OC(s) trust the most? who makes them feel safe? who would they do absolutely anything for? 

Athena: Really deeply trusts Desdaemon, Leonidas and Noire. She doesn’t invest a lot of trust in people, but when she does, she’s ride or die for real. Des is her best friend and platonic soulmate for all intents and purposes, Leonidas she has been together with since they were born, survived through hardship really bc they’re had each other and they’ve always had each other’s backs and Noire raised her since she was a kid, taking the role of a father she lost to the clutches of tyranny and supporting her to his best ability.Desdaemon: Due to his isolated upbringing, Dae really only trusts Athena, Leonidas and Hermione. He knows a lot of people, can get along with many people, being a charming bastard, but only puts his real trust in the twins, both because they’ve grown closer together through hardship and because they are the only people he remembers from his short childhood. Hermione he trusts because he grew up with her and has always been a guardian of hers, and she has been there to anchor him to his goals and reality.

Noire: The old man trusts his adoptive children the most- and that literally means the whole squad. He is very careful of who he puts into his team of assassins and spies, but for them, he would take a bullet for and feels endless guilt for having to send them out while staying behind.

zodiac: what’s their sign? does it influence their personality? do they care about astrology? 

Athena: Her zodiac sign is Virgo and I suppose I just jot those down for fun, not big or knowledgeable on astrology to be fair :’> If some traits do fit though, nice! Athena is not the one to believe or care about astrology.

Des: His zodiac sign is Aquarius, he doesn’t particularly care about astrology either, though might read up on it for the heck of it.

Noire: His zodiac sign is Pisces and in fact, he does care about astrology and has studied it sometime in the past.

contact: how does your OC(s) feel about touch/physical contact? are they affectionate? if so, how do they display affection to others?

Athena: Touch her and get a headlock- Athena is very jumpy and really does not like to be touched by people she doesn’t trust. Though she will tolerate it if putting up a polite facade, during any other time she responds very defensively. With people she trusts, she is affectionate and loves hugs/cuddling (and occasionally being carried). She may sometimes lay on top of people as a sign of affection like an oversized cat, especially in dragon form.

Desdaemon: Doesn’t mind physical contact, often touches people himself when talking with them (will stop if asked), loves cuddling with friends and displays of affection can be anything from typical hugs to “I randomly got you McDonalds bc I thought of u”

Noire: Please hug this man. He loves physical contact and touch and he’ll probably sell his soul for 1 hour of hugging. Often hugs, pats and kisses friends and family. Brushes hands with a cashier and dies a bit tbh.

shooting star: if your OC(s) could have one wish what would it be? 

Athena: This poor gal would have so many wishes haha. But mainly for Tartarus to never have existed, the mess she has gotten into wouldn’t exist and she’d be able to have a peaceful life.

Desdaemon: For all children to have a loving home and normal childhood- scars dig too deep and he never wants any child to experience growing up in a war-torn and corrupted nation.

Noire: For all war to stop- he has seen enough of bloody history repeating and losing dear friends to the vicious cycle and doesn’t want to see anymore. Either that, or a more selfish wish for a dead lover of his to come back to life.

oh dear this was so long haha, sorry if some resposes seem a bit inadequate! Thank you for the ask, this was pretty fun! :’>
