Arc V Anniversary Day 10: Gang

hey i’m dying from working on this for nearly four hours, why do i keep doing this lol

anyway!  I have some ocs!  here’s Yoko and some of her gang <3  Character names/etc under the cut

Fujioka Tomiko: the little brown haired girl in the bottom left.  Tomiko is the youngest member of the Maiami Queens, she’s thirteen.  Yoko initially told her to scram when she tried to join on account of her age, but Tomiko lives with an abusive dad and the Maiami Queens ended up being her only safe place, so Yoko lets her hang around provided she stays out of as much of the gang scuffles as possible.  Tomiko is a wild card and loves to do lots of daring shit, usually involving a motorcycle.

Kirameki Yoko: the lovely Shooting Star Queen y’all know and love.  She’s got a deadbeat mom and an absent dad, which led her to start the Maiami Queens.

Maeda Maiko: the girl right behind Yoko, who was in the anime in the episode where Yusho swoops in and shows off Smile World for the first time.  Maiko is Yoko’s first girlfriend, and she and her were dating even when Yoko married Yusho (she is ply and Yusho knows and is totes okay with it).  Maiko is pretty laid back and fun-loving, mostly along for the fun ride that Yoko brings her along on.

Watanabe Honoka: the crouching girl in the middle with the silver and purple hair.  Honoka was a loner for a while who picked fights with other gangs, and considered herself Yoko’s exclusive rival.  She’s kind of like the Vegeta of the group; she fought with them a lot and still pesters Yoko for duels and shit, but she also hangs out with the gang and is pretty close with all of them.  She’s the punchiest and most violent of the group, usually defaulting to throwing punches before she plays cards.

Kobayashi Hikaru: the orange haired woman at the top left.  Hikaru is a lazy, laidback sort of girl who would rather take a nap than do anything else.  She mostly just runs the girls’ hangout spot and listens to their problems when their down and serves them drinks/hands out cigarettes.  She’s pretty lazy and likes to sprawl out over the counter, but she’s got a good heart and will absolutely fight if one of the girls is in serious danger.

Katou Satomi: the woman with the black and pink hair.  Satomi is the resident mom friend.  She’s super cheery and always checking up on everyone, fixing up their injuries and making sure ppl have snacks.  But she’s also the scariest member of the gang tbh, even Yoko will wither up if Satomi puts on her "shut up and listen” voice--and she’ll smile the whole time despite that, making her even scarier.

Oshiro Kiku: the little girl in the school uniform to the right.  Kiku is from a fairly wealthy but neglectful family, and is the second youngest at fifteen.  She got mixed up in another gang by accident when another gang leader “claimed” her as his girlfriend, and she was stuck with him for a while until Yoko busted the gang and asked if she wanted to join up with the Queens.  Kiku isn’t really a member of the gang, but she feels safe with them, and she helps them out by running any finance information they might need and being the “respectable citizen” that convinces the cops off their tails.

Arc V Anniversary Discussion Day 21: Self-Insert/OC Day

So this got long, and i’ll divide it into some categories lol.  First, shipping babies!  Because I can never have enough of those!!

all under the cut cause it’s so long fuck

Pendulumshipping

Sakaki Keahi: the oldest and one of the two Sakaki children who follow into professional dueling.  Reiji and Yuya both help her find ways of navigating an action field to accommodate her paralyzed legs, both with Reiji’s technology and adaptive devices he designs for her, and Yuya teaching her how to trust her monsters to help move her across the stage if she needs a hand.  Keahi is very much a big sister, always mothering her little sisters and nagging at even her friends.  Most of her friends affectionately call her ‘mom.’

Sakaki Kouki: is very much more technologically focused, and she likes to tinker with Solid Vision and stuff.  She’s a shy girl who has trouble socializing. She’s also gender questioning, currently iding as a trans girl.

Sakaki Ray: Kouki’s twin sister. Ray is determined to follow in both her sister’s, father’s, and namesake’s footsteps in order to become the world’s best entertainment duelist.  She’s super emotional and tends to be really hard on herself when she messes things up, but she’s also very determined.  She’s Way into Riding Duels and actually feels more comfortable with those than with Entertainment Duels in the end because there’s less to live up to

Sakaki Sakura: Sakura is the youngest, a precocious seven year old who wants to be a princess astronaut.  Her favorite things to do are watch her sisters duel and play dress up, especially with papa’s big scarf as a cape.

All four girls have the ability to see and hear duel monsters. 

Darkrebelshipping

Kurosaki Fukuro: the older twin.

Kurosaki Yugao: the younger twin. (Yugo tries to be upset that Yugao’s name is so close to his, and Yuto starts to accidentally call the two of them each other’s names, but he loves his “niece and nephew” so he can’t be too mad lol.)

Fukuro and Yugao are both generally quiet, though Yugao is definitely the more assertive of the two.  They like to sit at home and draw, mostly, but they are also rabid fans of various tv shows and if you want them to be loud, get the two of them in a shipping argument.  They usually have different tastes in ships and they will fight each other to the death over them lol.  In general these two are a couple of fucking anime weebs.  They’re also fucking hot topic nerds (what do you expect when they have shun and yuto as dads)

Appleshipping

Sho Sakaki-Atlas: takes after them in loving mechanical stuff and fixing things.  Sho adores machines and they are always getting messy working on them or getting in trouble because they completely don’t pay attention to anything except whatever project they’re hyperfocusing on.

Yumi Sakaki-Atlas: Yumi is the younger of the two, and she’s less interested in building motorcycles as she is in riding them.  She’s very much a daredevil like her father and likes to go on joyrides a lot.

Rin and Yugo argued for hours about what surname to end up taking, Yoko’s or Jack’s, because Yoko basically adopted them but Jack also did kinda unofficially adopt them too and was willing to let them use his name.  They dueled for it and it ended in a tie.

Stealthshipping

Shiunin Hotaru: a very cheerful, exuberant girl who is excited about everything.  Everything is an adventure to her and she has very little sense of trouble, often sticking her nose into things she shoulded. The younger twin.

Shiunin Amaya: a lot more cautious than Hotaru after her time with the Fuma Clan.  She can be haughty and full of herself, but she’s also very much recovering from what she went through at the hands of the Fumas, which makes her try to act a lot stronger and more confident than she actually often is.

Both girls are actually Tsuki’s sister’s kids, but after her husband died in an accident and she herself contracted terminal cancer, she begged Tsuki to take them so that the Fumas couldn’t claim them.  Hotaru they managed to get, but Amaya was taken away by the Fuma Clan for several years before they could retrieve her.

Those were the only kiddos i had the time/energy to doodle, but here’s a few others that I have!

Speaking of Tsuki’s sister, here’s a few more OCs that I came up with to fill out characters’ families/backstories:

Chizaki (Fuma) Kanon: Tsukikage and Hikage’s older sister.  She fled the Fuma clan when they were kids to avoid being executed for getting pregnant with someone outside the family, promising to come back for her brothers one day.  She ultimately was never able to get back to them until she saw Tsukikage listed as one of the Lancers.  She died of cancer a few years after finally reconnecting with her brothers.

Hojo Gekko: Reiji’s cousin from his mother’s side; the Hojo family is incredibly rich and tied to the Fuma family since feudal Japan.  He’s a scarily powerful young man even though he’s the younger brother, and Tsukikage was supposed to be sworn to serve him when he turned 18 before Reiji snapped up both brothers himself.  He’s a scary and possessive person.

Hojo Nikko: Reiji’s cousin and Gekko’s older brother.  He doesn’t give a shit about the Fuma clan anymore and would prefer to leave their archaic connection in the past.  He’s the current owner and CEO of the Hojo Corporation.

Kurosaki Chae-won: Shun and Ruri’s mother, an exuberant and excitable woman who is excessively supportive.

Kurosaki Airi: Shun and Ruri’s other mother, slightly more lowkey than Chae-won, but not by much.  Loves her kids to death and embarrasses them daily.

Kunori Mao: Yuto’s mother, a quiet and kind young woman who has raised Yuto by herself.  Becomes close friends with the Kurosaki moms.

And here’s some of Yoko’s gang members which I came up with for a fic that i will write eventually, whom y’all probably saw already if you saw my art submission for the “gang” prompt earlier this month.

Maeda Maiko: Yoko’s first gf, a rough and tumble kinda girl, but also very fun-loving.

Kobayashi Hikaru: easygoing, tends the bar and helps the girls sort out their problems; can’t usually be bothered to do any of the actual fighting, but when there’s someone in trouble, you don’t want to be on her bad side.

Watanabe Honoka: formerly a rival who was won over by Yoko, she’s a bit of a wild card and is more interested in picking fights than winning them

Katou Satomi: a matronly woman who’s sweet nature belies her dangerous skills.  Often smiling.

Fujioka Tomiko:  a small and ferocious girl who loves joy-riding.

Oshiro Kiku: a nervous girl from a rich family who was once trapped in a relationship with another gang leader before Yoko destroyed the gang, she hangs out with the Shooting Stars to feel safer and helps run their finances.

And finally.....I gotta shout out my self-insert, cause of course I have one of those:

Hale Reiser: an American college student on a study abroad in Japan, she’s dazzled out of her low emotional period by Yuya’s duel against Strong Ishijima, and decides to take up dueling to emulate him.  When the truth of the dimensional war comes out, she joins a program to train at-home Lancers in case of a home invasion.  At some point she meets Grace Tyler and all of my self-indulgent fantasies of dating Grace come to fruition.
