more info about nine lives bc i'm stalling on work and wanna talk about him instead <3 most of this is about the version of him intended for the comic I want to do after City of Blank.

-his real name is Nico

-his mother was a succubus, meaning he is half incubus. because of this, his incubus powers are limited and only work over digital media. IRL, everyone sees him as a gross, weird little gremlin, but online or in streams, he can seduce (nearly) anyone.

-he goes by nine lives bc he is very sickly and always in and out of the hospital. when he was a kid, he was in so often the nurses started (lovingly) joking he had nine lives and it stuck. even his dad calls him that.

-he is deaf, but speaks english fluently. he lost his hearing around the age of 13 to bacterial meningitis. he's blind in his right eye because of this too, which is why he's often seen with his goggle mask. He wants to keep his left eye safe, because it's his last means of staying connected to the world.

-he does have a hearing aid but hates using it. he also never learned ASL and instead picked up quickly on lip reading. he doesn't let many people know he's deaf, so a lot of people think he's ignoring them. (he DOES learn ASL later, but that's kind of a big part of the story)

-he is incredibly apathetic and lazy. he is very much the kind to joke to cope, but he's ultimately accepted he will die young and has no aspirations because of it (one of the reasons he never bothered to learn ASL). all the cast in this story has an assigned "7 deadly sins" and despite being literally half incubus, he actually represents sloth.

-he can and does sleep anywhere. energy drinks and coffee pump through his blood but he's still forever sleepy.

-actually incredibly nice. he can be a bit of a troll and likes to tease and mess with people, but ultimately would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. keeps all his problems to himself because he doesn't want to make other people worry.

-the opposite of finze in every way.

-terminally online. furry. reddit user (derogatory)

there's a lot more but that seems like some good basic info get to know him. i know vast majority of you are here for CoB but pls allow me to be self-indulgent with other projects for a couple days after a really frustrating weekend regarding CoB haha. maybe i'll do finze next if anyone is curious about this kind of info on him in the next comic?

“I love your sweater.” You pinch the red fabric in between your fingers, and Zayne stirs at your side.

His glance is dismissive, “You can’t borrow it.”

You pout, “Wasn’t gonna ask.” Then another idea curls your lips, and you run your hand up and down his forearm. Zayne doesn’t look up from his book, “This fabric is so soft…” Your touch is slow, a gentle, comforting drag along his sleeve. Hypnotic almost. His eyes finally drift to your hand as it slows over his bicep, and your voice drops to a whisper, “What’s it made of?” Zayne swallows, unfamiliar with your sudden affection. Then just as he opens his mouth to respond, you ruin it, “Boyfriend material?”

His judgmental silence is quickly met with a fit of giggles. Zayne sighs, snapping his book shut, “It’s wool, actually.” You don’t seem to care, too busy snorting to listen, “I got a good deal on it. About half off, I believe.” All the laughter is suddenly sucked from the room when you’re pushed flat on your back. Zayne hovers over you—hand trailing down your pulse point—then he quirks a brow, “….But it’d be 100% off at your place.”

my passion is drawing things nobody gaf about

nobody ever told me they thought i'd be happier as a girl btw. instead i had my ex tell me that my attempts to explore my gender and sexuality came off as "fetishizing" because i posted a gif of two women kissing and said it gave me lesbian yearning, which delayed my realizing that i was in fact a lesbian by 2 whole years
