#Muse: Yukitaka

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

The infant looked up at Coronis with bright, blue eyes. He had just finished being nearly smothered to death by Stella, and now he was being presented to yet another aunt. Hopefully this one would be easier on him than Stella was.

His father, whose arms he was currently in, also hoped so.

"Since Stella has already met him, I think it is only right that you too get to meet your nephew." His parents would learn of Yukitaka's existence when he was ready to reveal it to them, or when Caim decided they deserved to know. Knowing how his ex fiance detested his mother, it wouldn't be anytime soon.

[a-hell-of-a-time]

Caim sat upon her sofa, a sleeping fledgling in her arms. It had taken many hours before her son would settle, and it had been many more since she last saw sleep herself.

The anxiety of knowing that something foul was afoot, but being barred from finding out had left the former goetia with much anxiety. She had taken Andrealphus's warning to heart and refrained from reaching out to anyone in Hell, especially her own father. Instead she had remained in the confines of her home while Yui went to work to provide for them all.

Whenever the kitsune wasn't at work, she stayed right by her wife's side, taking turns to care for their son in hopes that Caim would finally sleep.

She never did.

"Please be okay, Andrealphus. Father," she whispered, holding her son close as the anxiety continued to eat away at her core.

[a-hell-of-a-time]

The fledgling watching him carefully, eyes widening in surprise when Stolas made the star manifest as if the tot did so himself.

This earned a pleased cry from the little one, along with tiny talons reaching out to try and grab it!

a-hell-of-a-time

The little corvid fledgling looks up at him and giggles.

He trills back softly, reaching a hand to gently pat the fledgling upon the head. Mood elevated by the mere sight. With a playful gesture, he feigns reaching around before pulling his hand back, small star flickering in his palm as though pulled from the corvid's feathers themselves.

🤓 (Baby Yuki and Octavia @a-hell-of-a-time)

send 🤓 to bite my muse

The Marquis's bastard child was quite a little but vibrant thing. Phel wasn't entirely certain how to properly approach the infant. This was obviously not something a fledgling general and politician were ever educated on. There were servants for this sort of thing. However, the Princess insisted he come see Yukitaka.

Phel leaned in close only to find one of his plumicorns grabbed by the infant and pulled forward. He didn't even notice at first, since it was his damage right, until he saw the tiny arm in his vision reach and pull it into the baby's beak, chewing on it roughly.

"Oh dear... O-Octavia, some assistance if you would. Why must you do this, child? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?"

Then he was freed when the chick burst out laughing. At the same time, Phel felt his other plume bitten on and could clearly see out of the corner of his eye the Princess's face, who was also making some kind of face at the child- who clearly found it amusing enough to let Phel go.

He carried a rare tone of annoyance toward her as he awkwardly dragged his gaze up to hers through the curtain of hair between them. "Truly? This was your solution?"

ｓｐｅｃｉｆｉｃｓ –

favorite food: homemade chocolate chip cookies favorite drink: anything overly sweet favorite brand: he doesn’t care favorite hobby: napping. not really. it’s actually running. he likes going on long runs to clear his head and tire himself out favorite artist: he doesn’t have one favorite musician: his mother favorite scent: the mixture of fresh baked bread and sweets you get from a bakery or cafe favorite person: kiku yukitaka (don’t tell her, though)

ｒａｎｄｏｍ –

list ten facts about your muse:

can cook well, but rarely does because he can’t be bothered to cook for himself

doesn’t get sick often

a surprising amount of girls had crushes on him in his previous school because they saw him as the ‘mysterious, pretty bad-boy’ type (they’d watched too many teen romance movies) even though none of them really knew him and he avoided them at every opportunity

is rather neutral with animals and, while he doesn’t want a pet, if he had to he would adopt one, regardless of what it was

he once fractured his wrist but still went to his martial arts class rather than going to get it checked out

he used to have shorter hair but he hasn’t been bothered to cut it since he left england

he can sleep wherever, whenever, and in whatever position despite how uncomfortable it may seem

he gets bad nightmares every so often

his first kiss was the result of a dare (the girl who’d been dared to kiss him tried to make a big deal out of it but he literally did not care)

was really good at P.E/gym but rarely put any proper effort in and refused when asked to join the school’s sports teams

list five things they like:

sweet foods

snuggling in and sleeping under 7+ thick blankets in winter

standing under the hot water of the shower after a particularly long day

the process of cooking food from scratch (though he rarely cooks for himself, besides instant food)

t-shirts with sarcastic text or bad puns on them

list five things they dislike:

cold weather

things that are too loud (e.g. a room of people yelling)

inaccurate portrayals of martial arts (in games, movies, anime, etc.)

forced romantic subplots

people trying to hold a conversation with him as soon as he wakes up/when he’s exhausted and trying to sleep

common words / phrases that annoy them?: flowery language and using it unnecessarily. personality types they prefer: quiet people. people who will leave him alone when he asks. people who won’t pester him all the time. (even though his favourite person is the opposite of that) personality types they avoid: loud, touchy-feely people. what do you find different ( or distinct ) about your portrayal?: I don’t know? I like writing such a contradictory character. Like, he hates physical activity but he keeps up with his martial arts and works out everyday. He avoids loud, affectionate people but the person he’s closest to is exactly like that. He says he doesn’t care but would still probably do whatever Kiku asked of him and would hate to see her genuinely upset.

New OC: Yukitaka

Note: This OC will be by request only, and I'll only be rp'ing as him with interested parties. He, like Caim will not be forced upon other rp'ers, and nor does anyone who interacts with Andrealphus need to interact/accept Yuki.

Honestly this is a self indulgent fankid that I want to test out.

Name: Yukitaka (meaning Noble Snow)

Nicknames: Yuki, hellspawn,

Parents: Andrealphus (father), Caim (mother), Yui (mother)

Age: Infant - toddler (main verse); 15 going on 16 (I Got Teleported To the Past to Fulfill My Destiny in Hell)

The following is for the I Got Teleported To the Past to Fulfill My Destiny in Hell verse

Orientation: Gay

Likes: fighting, swordsmanship, hanging out with his friends, festivals, soccer, parkour, snowboarding, Chikao (his boyfriend, a nekomata), the cold

Dislikes: Ryuu (rival, dragon youkai), goetian politics, the heat,

Occupation: Precautionary heir (illegitimate), next great marquis

Personality: (Note: This is a heavy WIP since he's a new OC that's still being fleshed out)

Loud, brash, brazen (a quick tongue that has gotten him into plenty of trouble) and confident to the point of arrogance are just some of the adjectives used to describe Yuki. He is not afraid to call things as he sees it, nor afraid to speak up for himself should the situation warrant it. He is equal parts of both parents when it comes to his attitude and fearlessness, caring little for the intricacies of goetian decorum in favour of pursuing his own interests.

He can be rash at times, especially when faced with something that catches his interests. He is known for getting swept up easily in his emotions and the adrenaline rush of a good fight, or the height of a soccer game, or when participating in sports that Caim has considered reckless and which threaten to put her in an early grave.

When it comes to his combat skills, Yuki is quite proud and fearless; he won't hesitate to challenge opponents stronger than him, and will meet any challenge head on. This has led to him often rushing in, sometimes without thinking, and ending up with more than his fair share of injuries.

Despite this, Yuki is highly intelligent, a good strategist and has a good heart that looks out for the people he cares for the most, such as his friends and family. He isn't one for injustice and if someone has wronged him or his loved ones, he won't hesitate to make things right or settle the score.

Tl;dr: This kid is a cocky little shit who is too smart for his own good and runs his mouth like nothing else. He's also the kid that will help you in a pinch while also threatening to fight any enemies of yours. Or anyone in general if they're strong enough. He may/may not value his own safety and is a bit too reckless.

He means well though.

History: Born to the Great Marquis, Andrealphus, and the former Great President of Hell, Caim, Yukitaka is a goetian with the blood of his tengu (youkai) ancestors running through his veins. His birth was shrouded in secrecy, and he spends most of his days living with his mothers just outside of Tokyo. He attends one of the local high schools and is the top student, as well as one of the stars of his school's soccer team.

Approaching his 16th birthday, Yuki awakened his cryokinetic powers, prompting Caim to reveal his goetian heritage. She also explained how, once he turns eighteen, Yuki will have to choose between following in his father's footsteps, or remaining in the human world.

To prepare for this future decision, Yuki started splitting his time between his father's mansion in Hell, and his family home in the human world. While at his father's he trains to master the demonic abilities inherited from his father, along with the ins and outs of goetian politics, all the while remaining hidden from the Ars Goetia at large. While in the human world, Yuki continues with his studies in the hopes of graduating high school with his friends.

Should he make the decision to follow in his father's footsteps, he would be initiated into the Ars Goetia, and his identity revealed to the nobility at large. Should he stay in the human world, he would have to continue living among humans and taking on mundane jobs all the while hiding his identity and abilities.

More TBA.

Powers/Abilities:

Cryokinesis: Can manipulate ice and snow for a wide variety of uses (offence - weapons; defence - shields; weather manipulation (can cause blizzards, drop the temperature to sub zero, etc.)

Extreme Speed: Can move as fast as any tengu, appearing as a blur to the untrained eye.

Swordsmanship

High endurance

Weapon of choice: Katana

Verses:

Normal Verse: Yuki is born and Andrealphus struggles to be a dad while hiding the child's existence from Paimon. Shenanigans ensue.

I Got Teleported To the Past to Fulfill My Destiny in Hell: Gusion (keeperofanswers) showed Andrealphus many books, each covering alternative lives based on choices made, and not. One of the books was triggered by magic, and Yuki manifested from its pages as if it were a portal. He is now living with his father in Hell while trying to figure out a way to get back to his own time.

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

After spending weeks wrapped up in a blanket, little Yukitaka had finally learned to crawl!

Now that he was mobile, the first thing he did was leave his father's line of vision to explore the icy mansion that Andrealphus called home.

Who would he find in his little adventures?

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

The one downside to being a newborn: the inability to crawl and explore. Instead Yukitaka was confined to blankets and the arms of his caregivers, forced to go wherever they went.

At least he got to look at everything and everyone that passed his gaze.

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

"I thought babies were supposed to sleep." Cue Yukitaka tugging on his fluffy boa since he can't reach his father's feathers.

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

❝ Do you need a repreive? ❞ Stolas is offering to babysit. Not only offering, but wanting. It reminds him of when Octavia was a little owlet. He just wants to dote on someone.

"I can assure you that I am fine." The dark rings under his eyes said otherwise, along with the fact that he had just scooped up his wriggling fledgling after he tried to get himself into a space he shouldn't have been.

The downside of his son learning to crawl.

"However, since you seem insistent, I suppose you can watch him for a few hours," he said, handing Yukitaka over to him before the little one could start trying to rip out the fluff in his boa again.

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

The unrest in the streets had only been growing. Tensions rising, with the protestors migrating from place to place declaring their message.

Some more loudly than others.

CRASH!!!

A window shattered as a brick was thrown through. But it was not alone as a glass bottle, lit with a burning rag came in after it. It shattered in the ground, spreading burning alcohol on the floor. More windows shattered, as one became three became ten-

The crash caused the marquis to jump from his seat and for one of his servants to enter his study.

"My lord, there is civil unrest outside the manor-"

"There should be no one outside it," he hissed, eyes narrowing dangerously as Caim entered the study from a side door. In her arms was Yukitaka; Yui had left to take care of affairs on the surface, leaving her wife and child in Andrealphus's care.

"What's going on? I heard a crash-"

"There seems to be some sort of uprising," he said coldly, his eyes trained on the imp servant in front of him. "Have my legions on standby and send a few to deal with the ruckus outside." Was this overkill? Perhaps; however, his family was in danger, and he would not let any harm come to his ex wife or his son.

"Have a few servants tend to the crash post haste."

"Yes, my lord!" The servant fled without a word, and once he was gone, Andre turned to Caim. "It might be best to take cover in one of the rooms-"

A crash from nearby caused him to fall silent, and for Caim to shake her head. "It sounds like something is being thrown through the windows, which makes taking shelter in any of them dangerous. I will stay by your side and will keep him safe."

Yukitaka watched the commotion with interest, the noise seeming not to bother the fledgling. This was unusual, but neither parent had much time to figure out why when a third crash caused them both to bolt from the study.

There in the hallway among many shards of glass, were several broken bottles with flaming rags, and the stench of alcohol permeated the air.

"Molotov cocktails," Caim muttered as Andrealphus swore under his breath. If the flaming rags made contact with the alcohol, then the whole manor could be set aflame. With the contents being mostly ice, there would be little left.

"We need to put this out, and quickly." Just then several servants hurried over, cloths and extinguishers in hand and began to douse the fires. Water and ice would only make matters worse, which is why Andrealphus didn't bother to use his powers.

"How many more of them are there?" He barked at one of the imps, who bowed his head respectfully.

"So far, including these, we have only found ten. However, the small crowd outside is trying to make more."

"And the legions?"

"They should be there now dealing with the rabble." As if on cue, the screams of the protesters could be heard. The fact that he had to mobilize a few of his legions to deal with them when the harsh blizzard outside should have frozen them solid unnerved him.

Were his defences really that weak and vulnerable?

"Have the remaining legions on high alert and spread them around the manor until I can fortify the magical defences."

"Yes, my lord!"

"How were they able to survive out there in the first place?" Caim asked, holding Yukitaka closer to her chest as the fledgling watched the imp servants work to douse the flames.

"I don't know, but I need to investigate."

"We're coming with you." This was met with a s hake of his head.

"I don't want to expose him to the cold outside; stay in my study where it's warmer and safer."

"...fine, but if you end up needing help, I will be joining you."

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

"You know, I am surprised none of the other goetian nobility have come poking around," Caim said, holding her son close as Yui let out a hum.

"Perhaps it is only a matter of time. At least it wouldn't be as bad as the King of Hell himself, would it?"

"True, though from what I hear Lucifer isn't that bad." She couldn't recall ever meeting him, but from what she heard, he seemed to be rather chill. "It's King Paimon that you might have to watch. He is rather...set in his ways."

A mischievous grin snaked its way across Yui's muzzle. "Sounds like the kind of person I should much like to meet~" The more stuck up, stuffy and rigid, the better.

"And that's what worries me. Should you come across him, do not cause an incident that could jeopardize Yukitaka's future, or bring discord among our kind."

"I know! I'll behave~" The snort from her wife only caused Yui's grin to grow. "I have to have some fun, you know~"

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

((Just Yukitaka things:

He is highly intelligent like both his parents, but he takes after his mother (Caim) more.

Like his father (Andrealphus), Yuki likes to build things. However, unlike his dad, Yuki's things are computers and technology; he likes to take apart and rebuild computers, and has even built his own gaming pc from scratch.

Unlike his dad, Yuki is a terrible artist and cannot draw, let alone create the sculptures his father can. He has zero talent and nearly failed Art in school several times.

Like his dad, Yuki is really strong in math and the sciences, as well as technology. He is pretty much a gifted kid (which means he will end up going down the gifted kid to anxious mess pipeline at some point) who is at the top of his class, as well as his school academically.

Yuki is very athletic and energetic, and his favourite sport is football (soccer). He's also the captain of his school's soccer team.

More TBA at a later date!))

@starsaught

Caim smiled as the princess entered, no doubt looking for her uncle. She had just left Andrealphus' office, their fledgling secured under one arm despite his endless squirming for freedom.

"You must be Octavia," she said. "It's nice to finally meet you. Andre talks about you a lot."

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

"If we're talking about babies, my son is clearly the best." Caim proudly held up her little fledgling like Simba-

"While I am inclined to agree," Yui began, "must we show him off like this?"

"Absolutely."

"Could be worse, I suppose; your father could be the one showing Yukitaka off."

"Also true."
