#idk if its self ship cuz the relationships are very vague in this

[otaku-tactician]

this is the first oc and canon art i've posted in my life. these were as chaotic as expected.

OC with black hair- The Cursed Vanguard/ Gosenkugi-Hime

OC with wine red hair and green eyes- Seihai-Kun

OC with orangey/black hair and brown eyes- Kirin Kelly

detailed breakdown of the images below, as im not sure they make much sense otherwise (can be skipped). .

the breakdown is really long

Image 1 (Alter)

(This is them in their uniform and gear)

Cu Alter is basically suffering here (XD). He finds these three so exhausting to be around, and because each one takes a unique interest in him; he tends to avoid them. But worst of all for him, is how they all treat him like he's a regular human instead of a 'killing machine demigod that's fused with a sea beast'.

He keeps on trying to emphasise to them that he is a 'killing machine demigod sea beast mad king of america'; but all they care about is what events are happening, does he want a drink, where does he buy his anniversary outfits (and other trivial stuff). In other words, they never shut up- and he can't take it anymore!!!!

Furthest Left, Kirin Kelly- As a fellow member of the 'Sharp Toothed Club'; Kirin appreciates Cu Alter's sharp gnashers. They also express an open approval of him in general, and constantly ask him for tips on random shit that he has no clue to respond to. Kirin probably admires Cu Alter.

First on Right, Seihai-Kun- Sees Cu Alter as very strong and dependable. As a result, she too is trying to emulate his extreme endurance (not understanding all the hell Cu Alter goes through just to live everyday). He keeps on trying to remind her that he's a threat; yet it just doesn't seem to work anymore. Seihai-Kun respects him.

It's wild how everyone else has her in the midst of a anxious breakdown (and swearing fit), and yet around Cu Alter; she just relaxes (despite his harsh words and threats, he's helpful). It's weird what kind of characters Seihai seems calm around.

Second on Right, NAMELESS (The Cursed Vanguard etc etc)- Kinda relates to Cu Alter, as one also raised as a tool. Tends to feel very emotional whenever he's around, and may start shedding tears on the spot. To Cu Alter, tears represent 'pity'; and that's something he doesn't want. They can work together and occasionally talk, but may not be the closest otherwise. They have too many uncomfortable things in common.

Image 2- Caster

(This is a Formal Anniversary Wear Image)

Caster finds all of them to be a riot. Sometimes he has a drink with Kirin, gives Seihai some advice as her 'senior'; and exchanges quick banter with The Cursed Vanguard. HOWEVER, this works against Seihai- as she once confessed something deeply embarrassing to Caster Cu, and now ALL THREE OF THEM constantly tease Seihai about it.

In other words, they all seem to get along pretty well. He enjoys their company enough to be seen as possible friends (???) Also, he and Kirin do share a sense of distance in common. So one may catch them having a chat every now and then.

Far Left, The Cursed Vanguard- (Their dress is meant to echo their death btw) She likes Caster Cu; he's funny, they can exchange wild quips, and it's fun to see him laugh (what with him being so distant and mysterious sometimes). But that's all there is to it- sans for if they're both in on a very wild ribbing of somebody else. However, as they both share some VERY JADED moments in common; that could kindle up a friendship (?!)

First on Right, Kirin Kelly- They also like Caster Cu. To them, he's a drinking buddy. And... as another being whose origin is deeply enshrouded in mystery, Kirin can relate a lot to Caster. Sometimes, they may open up a little bit; but hey- it's all casual. They also like dragging Caster into the wildest of situations, just because they feel like he's so far away... like he might disappear someday.

Far Right, Seihai-Kun- They appreciate Caster a lot, and admire him too. They try to get as many tips for using the runes as possible from him (which Caster isn't all too keen about, for personal reasons). Their relationship is a bit more like a tutor and pupil's one, with him giving out support and advice. HOWEVER, he also likes to tease the poor kid mercilessly sometimes... :(

Image 3 (Proto)

(Everyone in Casual Clothing)

Proto Cu finds them alright. He enjoys sparring with Kirin, and finds The Curse Vanguard to be hilarious sometimes. As for Seihai-Kun, he wonders why she seems so guilty and distant around him- did he do something wrong? Out of all of them, the closest one to a friend is likely Kirin.

Far Left, The Cursed Vanguard- They aren't sure what to make of Proto. They like to sit and chat with him sometimes, and enjoy cracking the weirdest jokes around him. However, something about Proto leaves them feeling uneasy, especially when they share their opposing worldviews. Maybe it's how a powerful fragment of his heroic ideals still shine inside of him, like a powerful star in the sky. Being around someone as bright as him (even though he has his off days too) leaves her on edge, and deeply saddened inside. In other words, they got some trauma to process LOL

The Cursed Vanguard is like a grandparent in comparison to Proto, lol.

First on the Right, Kirin Kelly- On the other hand, Kirin couldn't give a shit; to them Proto is FUN! That's all that matters to them. So they go out for drinks and sometimes spar together. Conversation and company is relaxing around each other, and they share some friends in common as well. So, their friendship is very relaxed.

They met on the battlefield and hit it off right away.

Far Right, Seihai-Kun- Proto was one of the first servants who worked with Seihai. As you can imagine, it was very awkward. Seihai always sent him to fight against opponents his class was weak against; and had no idea wtf she was doing. As a result, she tends to avoid him out of a heavy sense of guilt; leaving Proto also feeling awkward around her.

They try but thanks to the awkward vibes, things aren't quite working out. Maybe the truth will come out someday. Although Seihai admires him too, guilt stops her from reaching out directly to him; and there's only so much effort Proto can exert on his own.

Final Image (Lancer)

(This is a beach costume edition image.)

For some strange reason, all three ocs act freaking insane around Lancer Cu. Something about him triggers every single one of them.

It's weird.

Lancer's pretty chill about it. He has a friendly rivalry with BOTH The Cursed Vanguard and Kirin, and he often likes to play around with and tease Seihai-kun (he knows she has a crush on him, but keeps that information to himself). He seems comfortable with them, and doesn't hold back much at all. But that doesn't mean he isn't a good support- he is. To be frank, I guess they're all in a friendly dynamic.

Far Left, The Cursed Vanguard- They seem to be envious of Lancer's popularity. They also try to out flirt him (but not as a romantic thing, they see it as a genuine battle to win). When he hits on people, she thinks 'I could do better, goddamnit!' *she can't.

Lancer finds this all deeply funny, and enjoys such a surreal dynamic. Funny enough though, they have decent teamwork; and respect each other. Overall, The Cursed Vanguard is just deeply envious and somewhat resentful of Lancer. As a result, they challenge him over the most inane things; which has built an uncanny bond between them both.

Also, thanks to Lancer's playful side; which clashes heartily with The Cursed Vanguard's serious one; he often catches them off guard with a lot of statements that they accidentally misinterpret as genuine.

First on Left, Seihai-Kun- Seihai has a huge crush on Lancer. It's so massive, that everybody in a 100,000 mile radius can sense it. After some kind of 'incident', Lancer's perspective changed her worldview drastically; and she became OBSESSED (he helped her out with a personal issue). Although she rarely talks about Lancer in public, EVERYBODY KNOWS.

As a result, Lancer goes out of his way to tease her as excessively as possible. And Seihai is so dense to the world, that she can't even TELL he knows. It's a very silly dynamic, in which things will reach an unfortunate head eventually.

Lancer is fond of her, but he's fond of most people; so... Who the hell knows what's going on there LOL.

Far Right, Kirin Kelly- Kirin is similar to The Cursed Vanguard, in which they're always picking scraps with Lancer. Except, they kinda seem like good friends, as well!!! These two are very likely to knock drinks and bash heads against one another, yet can also peacefully coexist. Their friendship is an unpredictable one, but overall- they communicate well, and can see eye-to-eye even over things they disagree strongly over. Their dynamic is very solid.

However, Kirin does sometimes get pissed with the way in which Lancer's been teasing Seihai, often telling him to give Seihai a break. Kirin is worried that Lancer may be taking the joking too far.
