#Kannonzaka; maybe it was too long I thought then I thought maybe he could shorten it to Kannon instead

Please tell us about your OCs! As much as possible, don't hold back! :o

@yokairu Thank you, I hope this is at least a little interesting to read, it ended up a bit longer than I was hoping and basically a ramble. (Also a side note, I use to worry that Pupy-Luv and COPYCAT were dumb MC names then I remembered that Samatoki’s was Mr. Hardcore so they aren’t the worst at least)

I want my OCs to feel natural to the world, like they add to the story rather than co-exist with it so I want to put a lot of heart into their opinions of the other characters. Alongside that I want them to have their own plots/motives that are interesting but don’t overshadow any of the already established ones. This is all still WIP but all of Hypmic is honestly, so its only fitting that I have no idea whats happening with my OCs too.

Im still trying to figure out Kai’s story moving forward is but as for now I think it’s going to be working on the conflict he has with his brother.

When he first was enlisted for the battles he felt a bit of disappointment, he had left the rap battle scene long ago but it appears Chuuoku wouldn’t let him go so easily. Cerberus was once a feared name, but now any mention of it had been long forgotten and he was grateful for it. He was never the delinquent his group acted like they were, he was soft and thin skinned, he was a pup and the rut of the three too. His middle brother was accepting of that, he was accepting of everything, the only real punk of the three of them, really. He stood his ground and lived by his values, but he had a weak spot just like Kai did, that was their older brother. They lived for his acceptance and he used that against them whether he meant to or not, so they changed and bent to his will. Covered by long sleeves and thick makeup hides scars and piercings holes from his time under his brothers reign.

The meeting at the Chuuoku’s high walls were tense, while Cat and I hadn’t known Kai long we both couldn’t describe how alien it felt seeing him on edge. At this point we only knew what he had told us so we weren’t sure what was going through him at that moment. What was happening was an internal war as he tried to compose himself, he wanted nothing to do with his brother and he knows Chuuoku knew that too. He didn’t want to play into the narrative being set up for him so he avoided all mention of his eldest, not even bothering to give his teammates a glance. The day of the battle we won two-to-three and Kai was over joyed, he had beaten his brother and kept his identity under wraps as well! 

However, that victory would be short lived and when all the teams had met together one last time he found his brother talking to the Buster Bros about the days of Cerberus. He couldn’t handle listening to his eldest spit their middle brothers name and to someone like Ichiro, who was an absolute saint compared to the hell hound himself. He tells himself now that he should’ve known better, but in that spur of a moment he couldn’t have stopped himself even if he wanted to. He was screaming things he had forgotten after his fit of rage and all his brother did was laugh because he knew, he knew this entire time who he was even under all the effort he tried using to hide it.

This has forced him to finally face a decision he’d been avoiding for a long time and it’s whether he wants clarity. He doesn’t know and he’s not sure he’s ready to try to find out just yet, but until then he has his team. All three of us have been through plenty and we won’t let his brother tear down what he spent so long making, no matter what. Kai just wants to be the proper big brother he didn’t get to have and he can’t let the people from his past take that from him.

For Cat I mainly wanna explore a different approach from Ramuda’s plot, Ramuda is fighting to be his own person aside from Chuuoku while Cat has had his freedom this entire time but is stuck in this loop of hating Chuuoku and wanting to be back under them. In a strange way he wants them to decide how he should feel for him by seeing their reaction when he does join Kai’s division. He isn’t sure what he wants for himself or even what most of his actions mean in hindsight, is everything he’s doing for or against them? He’s sure he’ll never know, however, theres only one thing the split parts of him can agree on, he absolutely hates Ramuda. 

How could he not? The part of him still enslaved to Chuuoku hated him for being his replacement and the part that wanted his freedom hated him for keeping his ties with the hellish dictators. Honestly, Ramuda couldn’t care less for Cat’s pettiness, Jakurai is the main goal, so any rivalry the two could ever have is subsided. However, I feel when Ramuda does finally reveal his main goals of overturning the dictatorship Cat’s feelings of him would take twist. Not a jump from one-sided rivals to friends but rather a sort of dependency on Ramuda helping him through his feelings as a puppet. Both of them would need the help, honestly. No one else in the world will ever be in the same position those two are in and they’re the only ones they can turn to for reassurance.

Cat is just lost and angry that he is, indecision rots him to the core as he fights both parts of him that want two contradictory things. No one can blame him, he was built to serve one group and it was The Party of Words so now that he has to be independent he just doesn’t understand. But, hes going to try to and hope he can make the right choices to be the person he is rather than the tool they made him to be.

I made an entire fic based on the two of them and believe it or not I got them both ooc, but I thought it was sweet still. Even though Cat has had his freedom for so much longer than Ramuda he spent so much of it confused. The only reason I could explain Ramuda having a better understanding of trying to be human is because so much of his time under Chuuoku was daydreaming about his freedom when it was something handed to Cat without warning.
