OCs for the Phantom Moth AU

Hey guys. Trying to get this out of my head before it disappears, but I finally got an idea for some of my OCs for the Mario + Rabbids AU I came up with, The Phantom Moth. It took some research and reading great fics from mutuals to get something going. A few musical terms here and there as well!Without further ado, here are the OCs that will appear in my AU Fics:

Brio Harper (They/Them)

The Main Character and Protagonist for the AU! I'm still undecided whether or not to keep them or experiment with reader fic. I had never written the latter before. Well, maybe once a few years ago. But I'll figure it out. Brio is a gender-neutral musical name meaning vitality. Brio is a genderfluid nonbinary human who loves entertaining and creating things as well as living life and making new friends. They love several types of music and the supernatural/monsters. Due to their small rise in popularity, a childhood bully has placed a monster curse on them. The main focus in the AU is Brio coming to terms with their identity and what happens when the curse affects them in more ways than one.

Otieno the Rabbid (He/Him)

A black and white Rabbid who acts like the MC's bodyguard, agent, and advisor. He is loosely based on my past pet rabbit Marceline. To describe him, if he were in the Mario and Rabbids canon, he'd be similar to Edge but a little more energetic. Maybe not a Spark Hunter, but a Spark Defender? In this AU, Otieno is a rebel/vigilante type who's somewhat retired and somehow became friends with MC/Brio to the point that he helps them out however he can whether it would entail being a spokesperson or escorting someone out if they were making MC/Brio uncomfortable. Otieno left behind his shadows, but the shadows are on the hunt for revenge.

Chanson the Peek-A-Boo (He/Him)

Phantom's Right-Hand Ghost! Before being Phantom, Thomas Phan was a normal Rabbid outcast who would sometimes hang out in the lonely parts of the city. Near a graveyard/sewers, Thomas met two supernatural beings who had forgotten their names. One of them was a Peek-A-Boo who Thomas took a liking to because he could lure in anyone and enjoys talking about literature and the arts. He and the eccentric being love hanging out with Thomas. One night, something happens, and the two see Thomas in a ditch, wounded with a large bat and a phonograph. They both try to help but to no avail. They then witness Thomas's death and his transformation into Phantom. Still feeling enraged and confused at what happened to him, the Phantom unconsciously makes his only friends grow as well. After the breakdown, the Phantom decides to make a new name for himself and employ his friends into being his staff, also naming them. Chanson (French for Song) is the second in command and Phantom's advisor. He is the one who helps organizes the contest for Phantom to get a partner. Strict and Serious but understanding. He is used to Phantom's antics and has similar but minor siren powers like Phantom.

Misfix the Medician (They/Them)

The Healer of Phantom's staff. They along with Chanson are friends of Phantom when he was Thomas Phan. Unlike the others, Misfix gave a name for themself. It's a mixture of "misfit" and "fix". They are a nonbinary Medician who is in charge of healing anyone despite their eccentric and excited personality akin to the mad scientist trope. They are the wild card, but the best at what they do. In the main fic, they examine MC/Brio after the contest. They have three siblings who stay with them and are also employed by Phantom. Misfix is the second oldest. Along with Chanson, Misfix is the other giant of the staff who loves their size.

Deciso the Spellraiser (She/They)

The supposed holder of the brain cell for the staff besides Chanson. She is unrelated to the Spectral Siblings but is friends with Adagio. Deciso (Musical term meaning firm) is a living mage who can float, cast spells, and summon anything. She is considered a recent hire when one night she visits Adagio and discovers that he and his siblings are part of a comeback plot for some giant monster ghost bat. She joins the staff mainly to help the siblings out, but to also not make Phantom upset/eat her. Deciso acts like a mediator and deals with the relations between the upper/daily world and the dark underworld they live in. Out of the staff, Deciso is the only one who keeps her regular size, so she gets carried around a lot. Despite her initial worries, Phantom does not want to mess around with her. Mostly no-nonsense, but she does know how to let loose once in a while.

Glissando the Oozer (He/Him)

The Sniper of Phantom's staff. Misfix's younger brother. He is also the apothecary/poison master of the staff, able to detect poisons and create potions along with Deciso's help. Whenever there is an enemy monster that Phantom cannot handle or they need to kidnap someone, Glissando (musical term meaning to slide) is on the job to poison the monster or make elixirs with side effects. He is sly and sneaky. A chill kind of guy. He, Libero, and Adagio are size shifters curtesy of the Phantom.

Libero the Ghostly Walker (He/They)

An Extra Assistant to Phantom. The youngest of the siblings. Unlike his siblings, Libero (musical term meaning free) is a pure ghost who wears chains. While he and the rest of the staff liked to sing, he was the one who sang beautifully/the most. While Phantom's power grew back in the early stages of his transformation, there was an incident that made Phantom weak and damaged his phonograph. Libero comes to help but during this vulnerable time, he gets absorbed into Phantom. With the help of his family, he does get back out, but without a voice. His voice was unconsciously taken by Phantom which was used to repair him. Although Libero was saddened, he would gladly sacrifice his voice for an amazing ghost such as Phantom. Since he does not have any distinctive powers like his siblings, Libero acts as moral support and helps in the background whenever he can. He is mute and he uses sign language and writing to get his thoughts across. He can hum, but it would mostly sound like a ghostly moan with no distinct voice to it. Very curious, kind, and shy. Phantom (and eventually MC/Brio) would be the only ones who could hear him speak in their minds. Phantom can use Libero's voice in addition to all the others he absorbed in his voicebank to his advantage. Libero's voice is of a higher/lighter register.

Adagio the Depleter (He/Him)

The assassin of Phantom's staff and the Eldest of the Spectral Siblings. He is the typical brooding big brother type who doesn't want to deal with anyone and would protect his younger siblings with his life or afterlife as it were. He initially went against working with Phantom, saying that Misfix should get out of the situation by themself but after much convincing (ie. Hypnotism/Persuasion and threats), he reluctantly joined the staff. Adagio (musical term meaning in slow tempo) works along with Glissando in dealing with enemies of Phantom's plot. He knows how to steal the life force of his victims and has given pointers to Phantom on the matter. He along with Chanson acts like the foil to Otieno; bodyguards who would do whatever it takes to protect their charges.

Until next time! I can't wait to write these characters. Which one is your favorite so far?
