Touching on the Human au for my utmv ship-kid story Eternal Ashes again!

Pictured are some more rough designs for Abel (Shotput, a Kreme kid), Orchid (an Errormare kid), and Richy (Reset, an Afterdeath kid)!

Lore ramble for my own memory:

Abel was a good kid, set for a private college and a promising life. Right up until the death of Kane, Richy's older brother. Kane was the best guy that anyone knew, and losing that hurt a lot of people. Especially Abel, who'd been inspired by Kane's inherent need to help others. Abel didn't grieve at first, trying to keep up with his demanding life, but the struggle grew too rough. He ended up with the wrong crowd without realizing it, because they made him forget about his grief. He dropped out of school and ran away from his old life. Years later he shows back up in his home-town to tell his family that he has a stable job, is in support groups, and has a boyfriend. He's working through the grief, but still can't kick his fashion-sense or smoking habits.

Orchid was similar to Abel. Their fathers ran sister-companies, almost holding a monopoly over the industry through their familial ties. Since she was born, Orchid had been told she'd inherent the company, and grrat things were expected of her. She was a gentle girl, then as a teen she'd do almost anything to rebel against her perfect image. Issue was, her parents supported her. Up until one stupid stunt at 16 left her missing a leg and half-blind. She sobered up after that, recovery taking a long time. Eventually she learned to walk again, with aids, and started taking her father's business seriously. He never pushed it on her after her accident, but she was devoted now. She actively goes to school for business, and does sone online video-tutoriels as hobby to keep her mind sharp. (Knitting and Sewing videos are her specialty)

Richy... poor Richy was the younger brother. He was raised by a mortician and a forensic analysist. His older brother, Kane, was a for-hire detective. His family was happy and content with their lives, up until Kane got killed by complete chance. Richy took it the hardest, 14 at the time. He had boughts of depression and suicidal thoughts (and actions) that landed him in the hospital. The pain of losing who he looked up to was almost too much to bare. Then he met Orchid. She was in physical therapy at the time, and he was waiting to get picked up by his parents. She asked him why he looked so mopey, and he replied with his honest answer. Orchid told him about her injuries (She'd driven recklessly without a license. Got into an accident that crushed her leg. A sharp of glass went straight into her eye.) They talked for what felt like hours, and by the time they were done, Richy's parents were there to pick him up. He had Orchid's number. Richy kept in contact with Orchid, and unlike talking with family or his friends (Abel was worse off than him) he found himself actually grieving healthily to Orchid. Orchid said keeping in contact with someone was good for her recovery. They were close friends, and now Richy is her roommate. He's going to school for journalism, buy focuses more on his streaming than his classes.

I want to say that Orchid is 21, Richy is 19, and Abel is 20. Orchid and Abel are cousins by Blood, too. Abel and Richy were friends thanks to Kane, but Orchid and Richy clicked on their own. Richy was a depressed iPad kid and Orchid was a workaholic until they balanced eacgother.
