Original Noble Clans + Clan Leader OCs!!!

I’ve wanted to do these for a while now!! Specifically, new soul weapons with different powers, and character designs of their respective owner(s) in general. I had a lot of fun drawing them and I’ll be drawing them in the future too!

These characters aren’t necessarily exclusive to a specific/fixed setting. They can be interpreted as headcanons that exist/fit in the canon storyline, characters specific to my Millennium AU, characters that exist by themselves and don’t fit anywhere,…etc. Anything really, as I do want them to have some flexibility. So feel free to interpret them as whatever makes the most sense to you. Personally, I see them as existing in both the canon storyline as my headcanons, and in my Millennium AU. In this post I’ll be (mainly) approaching and discussing them in the context of my Millennium AU, though there will also be some references to canon/pre-canon events of my interpretation.

Onwards to the backstory and concepts… woohoo!!! I’m sooo excited to introduce them!!!

In this drawing, there are two clans total, with two characters in each clan. The blue-haired ones are the “Volo”, and the orange-haired ones are the “Pyradros”.

For context, age-wise these Clan Leaders belong to the previous generation so they’re around Previous Lord’s age. Maybe a little older, maybe a little younger, but basically that. In terms of title/position, they were appointed as Clan Leaders by the time PL became Lord. Currently, they are still active as Clan Leaders in Raskreia’s reign, so technically they can be grouped with the current generation of Clan Leaders (aka Raskreia’s peers). The heirs of these Clan Leaders are around Raskreia’s age, maybe a little older, maybe a little younger, same thing.

No one would have guessed that the Previous Lord had a different plan all along. As the years passed, witnessing the rapidly changing world had prompted PL to think of the possibility of entering voluntary eternal sleep with his Clan Leaders. Asking Gejutel to stay behind and guide the next generation weren’t the only things he did. Long before PL even mentioned anything to anyone, he came up with another idea, a different way to protect Lukedonia: sending two of his Clan Leaders to the outside world, as far as possible, to the corners of this planet. Zephyrus Volo and Leona Pyradros were his close friends and trusted allies, and PL entrusted them with the mission of completely separating themselves from influences within Lukedonia, including PL himself. They were to walk every corner of this planet and see the world for themselves, for what it truly is. Try leading others, try being led. Expand your perspective, because it is crucial. PL’s instruction regarding their eventual return to Lukedonia was that they were to return during Raskreia’s reign, and many, many years well into it. In a way, this was PL’s last resort. If Lukedonia is still holding up and doing well under Raskreia’s leadership, they can simply settle back and continue on with their lives. And if Lukedonia is suffering for whatever reasons such as unforeseen circumstances or bad leadership, they can help rebuild Lukedonia and guide them back to the right direction, since they had spent a vast amount of time outside and thus accumulated valuable experience. PL had hoped that this would be Lukedonia’s last choice. By not leaving all of his eggs in one basket, he was certainly preparing for something. Since Zephyrus and Leona were his close friends, he could fully trust them with this mission. For safety purposes, no one knew about this mission except for the three of them. There was a mutual agreement between them, and it was kept secret from everyone else, the entirety of Lukedonia. Not a single one of their fellow Clan Leaders, including the eventual traitor nobles, knew why they departed Lukedonia. They only had a vague idea that PL assigned them on some sort of mission, but none of them knew that they would never see the two again. Perhaps it was also a sacrifice on their part to leave behind their home and everything they were familiar with. They respected PL, so to them this mission was of great importance, even if it meant that this would be a permanent farewell to the rest of Lukedonia. Their fellow Clan Leaders. And most of all, their beloved friend and leader. After sharing one final moment and goodbye with PL in private, Zephyrus and Leona silently and quickly depart, never to be seen again. The drama regarding the traitors would occur much, much later. Their journey began there, and they lived many lives as different people, in different places. They had nothing else except for each other, but that was enough for them. Gradually, their mutual friendship blossomed into something more. They fell in love with each other. Sometime later, Azurine was born. Then Rufus was born. Together they would raise their children and continue on with their journey around the world, completely oblivious to everything around them, just as PL had intended them to. The plotting, the murdering, traitor nobles leaving Lukedonia, Raizel and Muzaka’s fight, the invasion of Lukedonia, even Crombel’s nukes… these events simply didn’t exist to them. The two stay loyal to their mission post-finale and continue to explore the world. They would change locations every few decades to avoid suspicions of their lack of aging. Their now young adult children, thanks to their lifestyle, are very well-informed.

(This is where context starts to become vague/flexible/divergent, for the purpose of my story I choose to have them exist in my Millennium AU.) The four of them return sometime during the events of my Millennium AU, where Lukedonia has already seen birth of a new generation. Prior to their return Azurine and Rufus had never met any of the current generation of Clan Leaders, as they were born and raised entirely outside of Lukedonia. Even Raskreia is surprised. Explanation done, questions cleared, carry on. They settle back in Lukedonia. From then on, the story continues. How will they view the current Lukedonia and what will they do? Is this what PL had foreseen? For the better or worse? Seemingly, another “journey” for them begins.

(will continue to expand on this stuff in future posts!)

Moving onto the clans and characters!

Volo:

The Volo Clan specializes in all-rounders. Their spell-based attacks are ultra wide-range. Clan members can cast buffs on themselves and their allies, and debuffs on their enemies. Usually, the most powerful spells are cast by the pureblooded Clan Leaders and their line of heirs. The fighting style varies depending on the enemy. Due to the nature of their clan, one typically performs the best in fights as support for allies. In circumstances where they’re alone and/or all allies have been defeated, a well-trained Volo can also fight solo. The symbol of this clan is the Healer. Healing is their specialty and almost all Volo CLs and their heirs go through an extensive and unforgiving training regimen specific to their clan. One would find this to be extremely hard to endure. To them this is viewed as a necessity.

Soul Weapon: Octavio. Appearance is a crystal ball set atop a golden base that has eight red gems embedded on its surface. User can choose to hold it or have it levitate on its own. The crystal ball itself for the most part is a dark shade of color such as black, purple, blue etc. and glows other brighter colors when its user chooses to activate its powers. Can summon a wide range of spells. Most spells are not meant to be offensive, as they are intended to be secondary support, though there are a few attack-based spells too. Minor to moderate wounds can be healed repeatedly, though not indefinitely. The number of times Octavio can cast a healing spell depends on the user’s remaining energy and/or occasionally, willpower. E.g. if the user is worn out and/or injured badly, other spells may still be summoned but a healing spell cannot be summoned. When a healing spell is active, the crystal ball glows a bright cyan hue. Octavio’s ultimate skill is not an attack but rather an ability. When activated, the user can transfer a serious and even fatal blow from an ally to them self. Or, they can transfer a serious or fatal blow that they received to an ally. Due to the nature of this ultimate skill, it is rarely ever activated but if the situation is dire, the user can summon the skill and, in the process, decide who to save. Both parties involved need to consent and agree to the injury transfer for it to carry out. Contrary to its appearance, Octavio cannot be used for fortune telling. You can stare at it all you want but all you’ll see is a boring, unflattering reflection of your distorted nostrils.

Zephyrus Volo: the current Clan Leader, and Leona’s husband. Tall and fairly slender, though the slender part isn’t always visible because his layers of clothes cover it up. Wears black eyeshadow. Doesn’t talk much even though he has a lot of thoughts in his head. Some of them might as well stay unspoken, since they’re quite funny but mostly annoying. A very kindhearted man in general but sometimes seen as aloof because he’s always tired due to the nature of his powers as a healer as every single spell, even the most minor ones, will drain his energy. Will extend his hand to help others around him with his powers even if it’s not an emergency, something very minor that people can probably heal by themselves with a bit of time. He takes his job very seriously and it could be a bad thing. His wife Leona keeps him in check and makes sure he isn’t going around fixing everything he can and as a result draining himself dry of his own energy and passing out somewhere with his face planted to the ground. Very affectionate but is shy to express it. Reaaaally likes holding hands. Loves it when Leona picks him up and carries him like a princess. Calls her Leonie.

Azurine Volo: the clan’s heir, Zephyrus and Leona’s first child, and Rufus’ elder sister.

Very beautiful and has a mysterious aura to her. To some she may appear to be cold, because she doesn’t smile much and prefers nodding and other subtle body language for communication rather than talking. However this completely reverses where she becomes super chatty if you get close to her and gain her trust. Just like her father she is passionate about helping others. Unfortunately, she is in the same situation as him where she needs to trade her own welfare for it. She does it a bit differently though. In contrast to the Tradio who specialize in poison, she specializes in antidotes. Specifically, she purposely inflicts herself with poison and/or other injuries, then tries to find a way to fix it. Literally putting herself through pain and enduring through all of it so she can find a solution for others, since she believes experimenting on others is inhumane. There has been several times where she had almost died from self experimentation, but it never stopped her. She does this for centuries after centuries, and there is virtually no one else with the willpower and mental capacity to do this. Her arms are always, always covered either in bandages, long sleeves or other accessories to hide her scars from self experimentation. Occasionally blood oozes out from fresh wounds that haven’t completely healed yet and it scares people. She insists it’s fine though. Karias’ on-and-off lover and in a sense Kaelestis’ not-stepmother.

Pyradros:

The Pyradros Clan specializes in both close-range and long-range combat. Attacks are mostly melee, and are super destructive and explosive in nature. The only purpose is to destroy. Not to weaken, not to contain, not to subdue. The only goal is to completely destroy the enemy with no concern about what state they’d be left in. This style of combat takes a lot of training to master. Insufficient training could lead to injuring oneself, so those who want to wield this type of fighting style must be very experienced. Even an experienced user needs to be careful, Clan Leaders and heirs included. Typically, combat training starts at a very young age and safety precautions are the priority and taught first. The symbol of this clan is the Sun. Beautiful, dazzling, and destructive. Too much or too little of it, you die. It’s all about control and balance.

Soul Weapon: Soleil. A flail. The handle is mainly black with golden tips on either end, with a massive spiked sphere attached to one end. Typically used for swinging attacks that use brute force to puncture and/or smash enemies to bits. Attacks are virtually impossible to defend against, and they are designed to inflict a great amount of pain. Even enemies with superior regeneration fear this weapon, as they will relive the trauma for every single blow they receive and recover from, where the process repeat over and over again. Sometimes even Soleil’s appearance alone is enough to instill fear into the enemy and make them lose their will to fight. In general, Soleil is unforgiving to both the enemy and the wielder, as the former will usually perish within receiving one or several blows, and the latter needs to be extremely cautious too or they may injure themselves in the process. User can also choose to fight long-range as Soleil can also release aura like a typical SW, though most users prefer melee to bring out the full extent of its raw swinging and smashing power. The spikes on the flail’s sphere can detach and reattach on command. User can command Soleil to detach its spikes and the spikes will hurl themselves at the enemy as powerful and fearsome darts. After the enemy is pierced, Soleil’s spikes can be recalled (vanishing from enemies’ body) and reappear on the flail’s sphere. And repeat process if you wish. Soleil’s flying spike darts are very hard to dodge, though it is still possible to dodge them. Soleil’s ultimate attack is summoning a self-destructive blinding light that could possibly temporarily blind everything in the area (user and allies included) and a massive field of sharp crystals in the same fashion as the spikes will emerge from the ground to pierce anything within its reach. Due to the nature of this soul weapon, fights are best done solo just because of how destructive it is. Teamwork is possible but needs to be coordinated very, very carefully.

Leona Pyradros: the current Clan Leader, and Zephyrus’ wife. Has a great smile and radiates energy that can be felt by anyone near her. A bright and bubbly person who is most often found chatting with just about anyone. The weather, new recipes, your kids doing stupid things, just mundane things. Though, as inviting as she seems, she is actually pretty selective and doesn’t let people into her inner circle easily. Or at all, really. They don’t even know that she has functionality blocked them off because she’s so good at handling it and making them feel like they’re important to her (even when they’re not). Probably knows all of the latest gossip. In a way, she’s very good at collecting intel. Enjoys fighting and will fight anyone who is willing to spare some time. Sometimes refers to her SW as “little sunny” and talks to it as if it is capable of conversation. Aww, little sunny is feeling a bit bloodthirsty, aren’t you? Me too me too. Stuff like that creeps people out sometimes. Very protective of her husband and hates it when people expect him to fix just about anything. Will chase them away so he doesn’t spend his energy on them. Will shoot spike darts juuuuust a little past your ear barely grazing it as a warning to back off. Hah. That’ll do. Though if someone really needs healing she’ll let him help. Calls her husband Zeph and sometimes Windy if she’s feeling playful. Loves a good ribcage-crushing hug (usually the one giving it)

Rufus Pyradros: the clan’s heir, Zephyrus and Leona’s second child, and Azurine’s younger brother. Quite muscular in general but that part is usually invisible because he wears so many layers of frills and furs. A bit shy and instinctively covers his eyes when he sees his mother and elder sister because he hates the sight of blood and is quite afraid of it actually, and more often than not they are bloody, with the former loving spars and the latter injuring herself for research. Will scream “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!” if frightened. A big sweetheart in general and his love language is gift giving. If he likes you you’ll find that he’s always handmaking something for you. Loves makeup and often makes his own from scratch. He loves his momma and wants to make her proud but he is pretty much lacking in terms of fighting ability because he’s SO scared of blood to the point where she can’t even train him properly without him crying and begging for a break and/or quitting at the sight of any open wound really. They just keep trying and momma is very patient. He’s very sorry about it and thinks he won’t ever be able to wield Soleil, even when she tells him not to worry. Loves potato chips. The really salty kind that always leaves your fingers all greasy and sticky.

That’s it for now! Excuse me for any typos a bit sleep deprived lol see you later will draw them more in ghe future!

Noble OCs - Pyradros

More OCs from one of my four original noble clans, the Pyradros! They are the Clan of the Sun and Fire and their current Clan Leader is Leona Pyradros, whose heir is her son Rufus Pyradros. Their clan’s soul weapon is flail Soleil.

For complete info please check out the link below:

(Just a quick note, everyone is a noble here. There are no hybrids. In my headcanons “pureblood” and “non-pureblood” are just terms that nobles use with each other to broadly describe how affiliated someone is with their own clan. And I say “broadly” because there is much more to it and I think it deserves a post of its own. For now “pureblood” can be seen as a “strong enough and qualified to inherit the clan’s soul weapon and become Clan Leader” and “non-pureblood” as “an ordinary clan member” kind of thing. And being either has little to do with lineage and more of just the individual itself. Again, definitely posting more on that in the future)

Straight to the characters.

Ignatius Pyradros: Non-pureblood. Husband of Noel J. Loyard, father of Seira J. Loyard. Entered forced eternal sleep, belonged to the Previous Lord’s generation.

Ignatius was a calm, caring, and reflective man. He also had a silly and almost childlike side to him, though it only comes out when he’s around people he trusts. He used to be quite talkative and social during his childhood, but he gradually grew to avoid people starting in his late teenage years because they didn’t exactly reciprocate the friendship and the sentiment was more single-sided. While Ignatius fully understood that they didn’t owe him anything, he was hurt by the lack of reciprocation because he was the type of person who ends up loving almost everyone he meets, and he naturally gravitated towards giving pieces of his heart out even when it’s probably better if he didn’t. Ignatius had a bit of a people-pleaser side to him too. The more decent nobles just told him they couldn’t be friends with him, and the malicious ones kept him by their side to extort gifts and favors from him. By the time Ignatius came of age, he had become fairly reclusive and avoided most of society because he knew he would just keep getting his heart broken.

Ignatius eventually found a true friend in Noel J. Loyard, whom he later had their daughter Seira J. Loyard with. Their initial encounter was on a snowy hilltop, where Ignatius happened to be on one of his walks. There he saw a beautiful silver-haired man quietly making ice sculptures by himself. It was love at first sight for Ignatius, and he can’t recall much of what happened immediately after but they ended up sitting face to face with Ignatius holding Noel’s hands in his own while he passionately confessed his love. It took a moment before Ignatius finally realized what he had done. He let go of Noel’s hands and apologized profusely. Noel did look a bit confused, after all. Ignatius expected Noel react very negatively, like anyone would to an intense confession out of the blue and from a total stranger nonetheless, but to his surprise, Noel just smiled. A smile radiating so much warmth as if it could melt all the snow around them. Noel picked up Ignatius’ hands gently and said “The winter breeze sings a melody as the snowflakes waltz in the sky. Anyone will fall in love in such a dazzling wonderland.” Ignatius sobbed as Noel stroked him on the shoulders, and they spent the rest of the day sitting in the snow together.

They start to meet each other everyday. Noel would get there early and wait for Ignatius on the same hilltop where they first met, and the latter would always bring a sunflower with him. Sometimes, Noel would show him how to make ice sculptures. Then Ignatius would use the flame-like aura on his fingertips to melt the snow on the branches of the tree above them, and they would watch it freeze into icicles that gleamed like jewelry under the sun. Soon their friendship blossomed into love with Noel genuinely reciprocating Ignatius’ feelings. They shared their very first kiss on a snowy day.

Noel and Ignatius married each other and had their daughter Seira sometime later. Unfortunately for them, their happiness came to an abrupt end when Ignatius got assassinated, presumably by the same people who killed Noel later.

Before Ignatius died, his hobby was making intricate music boxes. His latest unfinished work is a silver and white music box with a tiny sculpture that sits atop the center, which rotates as the music plays. The sculpture depicts him and Noel holding little Seira’s hands as they’re all running in the snow.

Ignatius’ last words were “Farewell, my love and my little Snowdrop.”

Yamuna Pyradros: Non-pureblood. Not-so-distant relatives with Edian Drosia. Alive in the present day, belongs to Raskreia’s generation.

Yamuna is passionate, loyal, and responsible. She has been a super big fan of her Clan Leader Leona Pyradros since the moment she was born, and growing up she always told her parents that her dream is to become Leona’s secretary. She’ll stand next to Leona all day and attend to every single one of her needs! Yamuna is confident that there is no one who loves their Clan Leader more than her, and she’s the best candidate for the job. They better not try to compete with her, because she’ll definitely end up getting the job anyway, and they can be sure that she’ll damn near strangle them if they try to take that away from her. Just kidding, Yamuna won’t do that. She’s actually a super nice person. She still might say that to scare off her competitors, though. Yamuna eventually does get her dream come true and currently follows Leona around as her primary assistant. She worked her ass off for it, she earned it, everyone else can be jealous. Yamuna even gets sad when she has her days off because that means she won’t get to be close to Leona anymore. When she’s working, she’s the happiest. Leona adores Yamuna as well, and calls her “lion cub” affectionately.

Yamuna has an excellent memory. She knows all of Leona’s likes and dislikes, habits, and schedules by heart. This includes the smallest of details that not even Leona’s closest family members are necessarily aware of. In a non-invasive way, of course, because she respects her Clan Leader’s personal space. People even suspect that Leona lets Yamuna read her mind because the latter always knows what the former wants in an almost telepathic manner. Some of Yamuna’s peers have called her disrespectful because how can she ask her Clan Leader to let her into her mind? Yamuna just sticks her tongue out at them and tells them “winner’s intuition” and waves them goodbye.

In her free time, Yamuna likes to sing. She’s a terrible singer and never sings on key, but that won’t stop her from enjoying herself. Leona and her family came back to Lukedonia from the modern world, so they know a lot about all that cool stuff the humans have. One of the trendy things Leona brought back with her is a whopping karaoke machine, because her son Rufus didn’t want to part with it. Rufus got bored of it one day and it’s been sitting in the storage room ever since. Leona wanted to reward her workaholic assistant with something fun to thank her for her dedication, so she asked Yamuna if she wants it. Yamuna squealed and jumped for joy and did somersaults across the room on the spot. Well, Leona can just give her anything, like a rusty old pin or some bottlecap, and she will brag about it all day all week and turn that into an heirloom. Yamuna’s just sunshine and pure happiness jam-packed into a sweet girl.

Yamuna is so focused on her job that she hasn’t even thought about dating yet. She does have a lot of admirers, though she hasn’t realized yet.

Filomena Pyradros: Pureblood. Twin of Betelgeuse Pyradros, and cousin of Leona Pyradros. Alive in the present day, belongs to the Previous Lord’s generation.

Filomena is very much like Leona in terms of personality. She is bright and bubbly and radiates an irresistible charm to everyone around her. People think Leona is her twin instead of her actual twin Betelgeuse because he’s too gloomy, openly sarcastic, and forever tired. Filomena just shrugs and tells people “Well guess I sucked all the energy out of him when we were still soul fragments and he had none left. Hah!” To which she and Leona would laugh while her twin on the side gives a thumbs up and nods twice with a deadpan expression.

Like Leona, Filomena is highly selective despite being an extrovert. Except Leona will pretend to be warm and engage in small talk anyway, while Filomena just tells them to scram. And they’d run away quickly, because Filomena’s fiery aura is very intimidating. She often releases her aura and lets it flow on full force when she wants to “clear” her surroundings. It’s pretty amusing to watch them get up and run away. Leona again is just laughing and wheezing at how funny it is while Betelgeuse is nodding and clapping. Filomena doesn’t like to waste time on people who aren’t important to her and will get annoyed when she’s stuck in a social situation she didn’t call for. She would give Betelgeuse the cue and he would cause a scene, then she’d have an excuse to leave early because clearly her twin needs some help. The twins are very well coordinated and they can make their little skits look quite convincing. With friends, Filomena is very patient. People always wonder how she and her friends even got together in the first place because she doesn’t seem to let anyone new into her circle these days. In reality, she doesn’t mind new friends, but she just doesn’t like the hassle that comes with process of going from strangers to friends. For this reason, she tends to get along with people who are straightforward instead of those who play with their words.

Filomena likes to fight. Her weapon of choice is a flail with three striking heads. Aside from sparring with her cousin, she trains members of their clan. Leona would enjoy training her fellow Pyradros too, but she is often busy with Clan Leader duties so Filomena does it for her. Filomena is very committed to her role as a mentor and gives one-on-one lessons to her clan members. She is very proud of their progress and encourages them to officially challenge her to a duel whenever they become ready, even if it will probably take a long time for them to reach her level.

Filomena loves being under the sun. She hates cloudy and rainy days, and would complain about how she just wants to use her noble powers to clear the skies, but doesn’t do it because her twin Betelgeuse likes it when it’s dark, cold, and wet. She jokes about how he’s probably part of a “mold clan” or something instead of the sun clan. Like how cousin Leona is protective of her husband Zephyrus, Filomena is very protective of Betelgeuse. She will swing her flail at anyone who tries to make fun of him and you can be damn sure they’ll end up with bloody holes on their bodies if they cross the line.

Filomena likes to grow sunflowers as a hobby. To be precise, she enjoys breeding aggressive, carnivorous sunflowers that will lunge and bite at anything and anyone if their master tells them to. They only recognize Pyradros clan members as their own and will attack everyone else. Filomena doesn’t even need guard dogs, she has her guard sunflowers which she plants in front of her home. She has a list of unwanted guests and she tells them who to chase away. Once she forgot to tell her sunflowers that her cousin’s husband Zephyrus is welcome, and they bit off his cloak and robe and he ran away crying while being butt naked. Oops. She’ll remember next time.

Filomena’s partner is an unnamed Ceresthalassa.

Tabitha Pyradros: Non-pureblood. Ex-lover of Krasis Blerster and Ragar Kertia and more. Alive in the present day, belongs to Gejutel’s generation.

Tabitha is sophisticated and skillful. She doesn’t talk much and her eyes are always focused. Both of her parents made weapons, and she continued with the tradition. Tabitha is the equivalent of the Pyradros Clan’s blacksmith. While most members of other noble clans prefer swords and spears as their weapons of choice, the Pyradros like to use flails. Soleil, Leona’s soul weapon, is the sun they all admire. Every flail owned by members of the Pyradros Clan is modeled from Soleil, and Tabitha is the one who makes them. She takes great pride in her work and meticulously checks each and every weapon she makes before they leave her workshop.

Tabitha’s dedication to her work is extraordinary. She customizes weapons according to their intended wielders, where she has her fellow clan members come to her workshop and she assesses what kind of flail suits them the best. She takes into consideration their fighting style, physique, and general habits, so her creations vary. Different handle and chain link lengths, and different striking head sizes and numbers etc. The possible combinations are endless. And Tabitha’s fellow Pyradros are always amazed by how she can tell what’s the best fit for someone just by looking at them. She doesn’t even need to see them do a fighting demonstration. And when they ask her? She winks and smiles and tells them it’s a “trade secret”. That’s a word she learned from their Clan Leader Leona, whom she admires very much. Leona knows a bunch of other strange words too and Tabitha is trying really hard to learn all of them. She even has a little notebook with the slang Leona uses and attempts to memorize them during her breaks. The workshop’s guests think the notebook holds Tabitha’s secret recipe to making excellent weapons, but no it’s just her prized glossary of coolness.

Tabitha enjoys making colorful alcoholic drinks in her free time. If Lukedonia has the equivalent of a bar, she’d be a hobbyist bartender. Except she does it in a small space next to her workshop and the venue attracts all sorts of visitors. They don’t have to pay her, all they have to do is tell her an interesting story. It could be something they did during their day, an event from the past, some gossip, kids doing stupid things… anything is welcome. Some people say they’ve even seen Krasis Blerster and Ragar Kertia going there and talking about their kids’ problems and Tabitha is just smiling and listening to their shenanigans.

Tabitha is currently single, and looks forward to dating someone interesting.

Betelgeuse Pyradros: Pureblood. Twin of Filomena Pyradros, and cousin of Leona Pyradros. Alive in the present day, belongs to the Previous Lord’s generation.

Betelgeuse is the opposite of his twin sister Filomena. If she’s sunny, he’s gloomy. She smiles, he frowns. She walks upright, he walks while slouching. She opens all the curtains, he likes his blocking out all the light. Curiously, they never argued with each other growing up. Filomena calls her little brother “Moldy” as a joke nickname, and he’s actually quite fond of it. He calls her “Sunburn” in return. Betelgeuse relies on his sister a lot, especially when he needs to communicate himself. He doesn’t seem to open his mouth or move his lips at all when he’s talking and it’s almost like he’s mumbling. Filomena is responsible for “translating” the inaudible sounds when people don’t understand the words coming out of his mouth. The only time he puts effort into articulating his sentences is when he has something sarcastic to say. Some people think it’s funny. Others not so much. Betelgeuse doesn’t like the term pessimist. He’s not a pessimist, he’s a realist, thank you very much. Betelgeuse also looks like he’s perpetually pissed, but no, that’s just how he looks when his face is relaxed. If they don’t like it then too bad he can’t get a new one.

Betelgeuse is close to cousin Leona as well. He doesn’t show it, but he likes to update himself on the latest gossip just as much as her. Unlike Filomena who doesn’t like to waste time on small talk, Betelgeuse doesn’t mind because he might get something juicy out of it. If he can keep a conversation going, of course, because hopefully the other person can understand his less than articulate sentences. Betelgeuse and Leona share gossip as a cousin bonding activity. Leona brings him bubble tea when they meet because he likes those, and he always asks about those “human drinks”. He likes to play with his bubble tea and enjoys watching the boba pearls go up and down the straw before he finally drinks it properly.

Betelgeuse can fight just as well as his twin, but he doesn’t enjoy it too much. He prefers to watch her fight, though sometimes he’d come and help her coach the newbies when she’s on the training grounds with their clan members. That only happens when the sky is cloudy because he doesn’t like how bright it is otherwise.

Betelgeuse gets along with his cousin’s husband Zephyrus. He’s the one who apologized to him when Filomena’s monster sunflowers attacked him. Betelgeuse walked around butt naked too in support of Zephyrus so the latter doesn’t have to feel too bad about the incident. The two laugh about it every now and then. Leona and Zephyrus’ children Azurine and Rufus also like their chill, gloomy “cousin Moldy”. They think his sarcasm is funny.

Leona’s son and heir Rufus takes after Betelgeuse’s appearance.

Betelgeuse’s partner is an unnamed Landegre.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for future posts!

My OC, Rufus Pyradros.

He’s Leona’s son and heir. Mother and son belong to one of my original noble clans, the Pyradros. His clan’s soul weapon is a massive flail named Soleil.

Rufus is very silly and a bit spontaneous, but he’s also a sweetheart!

For more info on his family’s bio check out my post from before!
