Sengoku Basara OC Writings 2

Note: Okay, so these are all writings I put together featuring my very old Sengoku Basara OCs. Kinda embarrassed to post them on a public forum, so please have mercy.

Botched Assassination (Mototsuna VS Motochika)

[[MORE]]

“It’s a baby.”

“Very astute observation, Mototsuna. You have quite the keen eye.”

Aiou Mototsuna sighed, crossing his arms as he went over his half-brother’s orders. “You want me to kill the heir to the Chosokabe clan...who is, at this point, a child.”

“Yes; you were a child at one point, too, and look at what an obnoxious eyesore you turned into.” Mori Motonari turned his back to go over a map at his desk, expression unchanging; behind him, Mototsuna blew some hair out of his face in a deflated sigh. “The fact of the matter is that Chosokabe Motochika now has a blood heir, and that threatens both my son and my approaching second child.”

“That reminds me,” Mototsuna tipped his head. “How’s the lady of the castle feel about this?”

Motonari’s eyes narrowed a bit. “Ayane doesn’t need to worry herself with such matters—and I certainly hope you will not involve her unnecessarily. That would be unfortunate. But you are dodging the matter at hand—I’m giving you an order to assassinate the child. And I expect you to carry it out.”

“Yes, yes, I’m on it...I’ll head for Shikoku right away.”
”Dismissed.”
”Tch.” Mototsuna scoffed, exiting the room and making his way down the hall. Truth be told, he had overheard an earlier conversation between the lord and lady of the castle and, as expected, Motonari had silenced his wife’s pleas with his own cold reality.

But enough pity.

Now for the matter of the target.... Mototsuna thought to himself as he began his journey, Or rather...the matter of what hazards to avoid.

The kid’s young enough that he’ll always have someone with him; most likely that’ll be his mommy dearest. Nanahime’s not that big a threat unless I were to get up close...which won’t be an issue at all. Checking his rather intricate crossbow, he aimed down the scope—actually a very small spyglass—at an invisible target for a moment.

As for the matter of the dad...that’s an absolute Do Not Engage. If he catches even the slightest hint of me being there, I have to make a break for it; there’s no chance in hell I’d survive any kind of encounter with him.

Stowing the crossbow, he took to the trees, swinging and jumping from branch to branch in the darkness. Snipe, then get the hell out. That’s the Aiou Mototsuna style.

He arrived in Shikoku the following morning, making himself at home in the treetops where the soil met the sand, peering through a spyglass out of his hiding spot to seek out his target. Might be too early to have the kid out and about, but at least I can establish where the rest of the family is.

His spyglass darted to Chosokabe manor as the front door slid open and Yoko darted out, making a beeline for the shore. There’s the bastard child. Damn, she’s fast.

Moments later, the Ogre of the Western Sea was sprinting after her. Aaaaand there he is. He watched the two of them leap into the water, with an amused grin. Least that means Chosokabe’s separated from the target. Speaking of...

Nana stepped out the front door, holding an obscured bundle in both arms, grinning and shaking her head as she saw Motochika pick up and toss Yoko in the water.

There.

Nana was shouting something toward the pair, but was too far for Mototsuna to make out the words. A pirate approached her to speak to her, and she turned to face him, shifting the bundle to one arm.

Now or never. The crossbow was out, and Mototsuna gazed down the scope at the bundle. He exhaled slowly.

And fired.

“Oi, Jogen, could you do me a favor—“ Nana was cut off as the bolt pierced the top of the bundle, passing through it and jabbing her in the arm; she let out an alarmed yelp, dropping the bundle as she dropped to her knees. Her cry prompted her husband and daughter to immediately stop and look to her.

“Anego—!” Jogen dropped beside her to check her, as the bundle unraveled...

...revealing a large fish that had been wrapped in paper, now skewered through the head. That *was* going to be breakfast.

“....” Mototsuna lowered his scope, a look of bewilderment across his face. That...was not what he expected. “....what the fuck.”

His momentary shock was jostled even further as Jogen was heard shouting, “SNIPER!”

Mototsuna immediately began to flee the scene, sliding along sturdy branches and swinging from those above him. He wasn’t even sure exactly which direction he was going; all he knew was that he had a limited window of opportunity to get as far as he could—

**CR-R-R-ACK!**

An anchor on a chain smashed through several trees behind him, before being jerked upward to return to its owner. Mototsuna felt the color drain from his face.

I’m dead.

The anchor shot past him, hooking onto a branch and beginning to retract, pulling its owner along, as a knee slammed into Mototsuna’s back and sent him hurtling through branches and slamming into the ground. Coughing and groaning, he began to prop himself up, turning to face the Ogre of the Western Sea leering down at him, anchor over his shoulder and hand in his pocket.

“Oi....I’m givin’ you one chance to explain why you fired at my mermaid, yeah? And it better be a damn good one.”

Mototsuna panted and grunted as he managed to stand up, grabbing his crossbow off his back.

There was no way he was getting out of here without a fight.

“To be fair...I wasn’t aiming for her. I thought she was holding something else.”

Motochika didn’t answer. But his good eye began to widen, as the realization dawned on him. He grit his teeth.

“Damn you...”

He raised the anchor. “DAMN YOU!”

Motostuna’s hands crackled with lightning, his crossbow opening up.

Hopefully, amidst the incoming chaos, he’d find a chance to flee...

In the next few days, I’ll be adding Nana Saito/Chosokabe to this blog

The Princess of Hell will be joined by the Siren of the High Seas! 

(remind me to come up with better nicknames sometime...)

Sengoku Basara OC #1: Chosokabe Nana

Full Name: Chosokabe Nana (previously Saito Nana)

Nickname(s): Nana, Princess, Anego (big sister), Mermaid Princess of Western Seas, Ningyo Hime (lit. Mermaid Princess)

Title (4-kanji translation): The Alluring Deadly Siren

Age: 22-23 y.o.

Height: 5'74" (175 cm)

Weight: 57 kilograms

Clan: Chosokabe

Appearance: Nana has a very alluring and sexual appearance. Her body is tall and voluptuous, with long semi wavy dark burgundy colored hair that extends to her mid-back. Her hair is usually tied to a side ponytail. Her eyes are deep blue and her skin is tanned (olive complexion). When she's not on battle, she wears a regular female kimono attire (which pretty much flaunts her curves). Like Kasuga, her combat attire shows a lot of skin (regarded as the third sex symbol after Kasuga and Mago).

Weapon: War trident (just think of Neptunus/Poseidon's trident here... /coughs/)

Elemental Attribute: Lightning

Animal Symbol: Orca

Japanese Pronoun: Watashi (normally and formally, when speaking with strangers) / Ore (she usually uses this when she's informally speaking with Motochika or whenever she snaps out of anger. She used this pronoun a lot more often when she was younger, tho)

Personality: Chosokabe Nana isn't your ordinary housewife. As the wife of a pirate leader, she has a similar personality to Motochika, who is laid-back, easy-going, adventurous, yet sometimes rude and hot blooded. Though descended from the noble clan of Saito, her actions and behavior did not reflect her noble origins. Nana is a tomboy since childhood. Also known to be a rebel, she ran away from home to go to an adventure to Shikoku. Around her comrades, she is known as a caring and nurturing big sister figure to the point that her subordinates call her "anego" (big sister). However, Nana has a short temper and can be easily riled up by her own emotions. She is also shown to be a tsundere, easily blushing when Motochika starts to act romantically in front of her while she's denying that she won't easily get riled by his actions.

History: Chosokabe Nana was said to be a member of Saito clan, a younger sister of Saito Toshimitsu. Her relationship with Nouhime and Mitsuhide is rather unspecified, but she is said to be a distant relative to them. Although she was known as a beauty since young, she was also a notorious tomboy in her youth. As she grew older, she was tired of the etiquette lesson in her family and decided to run away from Mino. After spending some time running away from her home in Mino Province, she somehow landed up in Shikoku, a land unexplored by her clan. Excited to explore the newly found land, Nana became a vagabond and started her own adventure. Unfortunately, she was captured by a local pirate gang while having a journey of her own. She was kidnapped and nearly got raped, but thankfully, Motochika and his crew raided the ship and eventually saved her. At first, he thought that he would find treasures on the ship, but instead he found Nana, lying on the ship, nearly stripped off of her clothes (he thought that she was a mermaid, much to her distaste--yet it became her most famous nickname). He immediately fell in love with her and wanted to take her for his own. Nana, whom just trying to recover from her shock, was distrustful of Motochika's true intention of taking her in. Motochika found it hard to gain Nana's trust, especially because he IS a pirate. At first, Nana felt that it was uncomfortable being around pirates, yet they treated Nana with utmost care (because Nana was the only person who can actually cook in the ship...). After spending some time with Motochika and his crew, she slowly adjusted to his lifestyle and getting accustomed to it. And somehow, she felt really comfortable--like finding a new family. Soon enough, Nana found herself in love with the pirate leader after spending her time together with him and his crew. Several months after their first meeting, she accepted his proposal and they got married--with a ceremony on the harbor of Shikoku. Eventually, Nana would become his most trusted second-in-command of his pirate crew.

Relationship with Motochika: Unlike most of husband and wives in their era, their relationship is rather informal and an easygoing one, mostly consisting of playful rowdy sex (yes they do it really often just for fun lol--they are pirates after all). They have a mutual trust for each other and their teamwork is said to be unbeatable by their crews. Motochika put lots of his trust on her that he would made her as his second-in-command. Both of them are very possessive towards each other, though Nana often denies it.

Relationship with other character(s):

Nouhime: Nana and Nouhime were acquainted since young and they both were close playmates, where Nouhime acts like a big sister to her, but eventually their relationship grew distant as they got older. This is mostly caused by Nana's outrageous tomboyish behavior and Nouhime's royal ladylike upbringing. When she found out that Nouhime is dead, she was devastated.

Akechi Mitsuhide: she knew him since childhood as one of her relative in Saito clan. She never really liked Mitsuhide's enigmatic attitude that she often kept herself away from him. His reappearance as Tenkai piqued her interest.

Megohime: the wife of Date Masamune is one of her bffs. Even though they are pretty much of an opposite, she learned a lot of housekeeping skills from Megohime and Megohime appeared to be fascinated with her adventurous life as a pirate leader's wife. Megohime calls her with the honorifics "nee-san".

Saika Magoichi (Sayaka): Nana has a pretty close relationship with Sayaka, whom she thinks as a comrade and a good role model. She's sometimes blindly jealous whenever Sayaka is around her husband, but tries to hide it.

Myokyu: even though Nana dislikes Myokyu's husband, she can never hate Myokyu. In fact, Nana sympathized with her, because Myokyu seems to have a blind loyalty to her husband, despite him just using her as his tool, just like his other minions.

Trivias:

Nana can actually cook, but her specialty are mostly seafoods.

She is often seen giving Motochika's pet parrot rice crackers.

She is known to be ambidextrous, but mostly uses her right hand.

According to Motochika, her measurement is B88-W54-H85 (in centimetres).

She has a Shikoku Inu dog named "Maru" as a pet and can summon it as an assisting familiar for one of her special skill.

Her hobbies are collecting treasures (jewelries), swimming, and building machines.

In Gakuen Basara, she's apparently Motochika's love interest who is also the leader of swimming club. She's a rival to Myokyu.

Ideal Seiyuu: Rina Satou (Sailor Mars in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal; Isanami in Brave 10; Noyamano Rika in Air Gear OVA) / Kari Wahlgren

Don't mind Mori, Motochika. He's just jealously that you got yourself a hot wife.

Two small edits I made for the soul. Megohime checking in on her husband, and Nanami simply listening in on Motochika dropping that Tea ™

[drazudrazz]

Some Nanami thoughts! Working on a sheet of her, hope to post it soon. Im proud of how far she has come since I first made her when I was only a teen.. She grew alongside me and I love her a lot.

Fujin Motochika, also known as Nanami.

I spent over a week on this single picture. Five days on the lineart alone so I’d be happy with it.

I made Nana a bit tanner, since she’s outside doing physical work so much.

Miscellaneous, mostly me trying to get my basara groove back.

More Basara OC art! Here’s Nanahime with her daughter (Motochika’s stepdaughter) Yoko. She’s six and Nana will do nearly anything for this little girl.

Edited because I realized Nana’s hairline was too high.

[blue-and-art]

I’d like to give a shout-out to @drazudrazz for kickin’ me in the butt to do this after I saw she did one and got discouraged and she was like “NO YOU CAN DO IT” and so I did.

Literally just traced over a frame of Nohime from the anime lol.

Edited to blur the lines a bit.

Edit 2: added noise and chromatic aberration, as recommended by a friend.

“The Cap’n ain’t here right now...but I’d be happy to oblige ya with a fight!”

Wanted to work on a) shading and b) closeups, so here’s Nana.

IDK why, but when I color her I tend to shade her upper lip?
