     So, I haven’t really mentioned this much, but since the wife turned her blog into a dual muse blog, I felt compelled to do the same. Ciro is still very much a work in progress; for this reason, Kaede will remain my main muse. All interactions will be assumed to be with him unless stated otherwise. In any case, Ciro’s about page is up! 
     I’m going to take a small break, and then I’ll try to finish all the drafts and starters I still owe. I’ll probably work on the starters first, since I’m sure those are wanted, where as I’m still not certain people want me to respond to things that are so old, aha.

aka what the hap is fuckening with the twins
they’re born to the pack alpha of the fushimi inari shrine in kyoto, but twins were considered a bad omen, and the parents were ordered to either kill one, or leave
the father, ren, decided to leave with the firstborn, shinjou, thinking his mate, chou, and the younger son, shinzou, deserved to stay with the pack they considered family
the twins are separated too young, they don’t remember one another, nor do they know the other exist until their parents mention it when they’re older
they’re identical at this point, the only way to tell them apart is to look for shinzou’s birth deficiency in the form of a floppy ear
shinzou
shinzou basically gets treated like a prince, brought up as the next alpha, despite some of the other kitsune still scoffing at him
devoted to his mother, stubborn and determined to make her proud
asks too many questions about dad
learns he has a twin, cue even more questions
develops the mentality of being the unwanted child, that his life doesn’t matter, and all the world needs is his brother;  he covers it up, but it plagues him for his entire life
learned how to pretend because of this from a very young age, deals with his issues alone
his mother starts to get sick, and she knows it’s the beginning of her heartbreak due to prolonged separation from her mate.  she doesn’t tell shinzou this
he gets desperate, and one night goes to beseech inari for a blessing
gets caught in a blast from a field test of the early prototype biological weapons containing the angel gene;  his right hand, chest, neck, and face get badly burned
thinks it’s a curse from inari, and turns againist his clan, saying they’re serving and woshipping a  ‘false god’
gets exiled, is ordered to take his mother with him.  she’s weakened and cannot fight this, and shinzou is too young to really stand up againist everyone, but he tries
not that he succeeds
cue his lifelong hatred of gods and anything divine
he, nor his kin in general, has ever been around humans, so has troubles adapting.  knows basic glamours at least, though
his life revolves around saving his mother
they live in a small forested area at the outskirts of the city
when his burns heal at least a little bit, he starts job hunting, eventually landing something in one of kyoto’s strip clubs, where he goes under the work name  ‘kessho’
works as both a stripper and an escort
his fur and hair that had been damaged in the fire grew back black, so now half his hair is black, along with his right ear.  also, his right eye turned red, half of his right eyebrow never grew back, nor did his eyelashes.  rocked the undercut haircut for a while, as his hair grew back
one night after his shift, he’s approached by a stranger claiming to know he’s not human, and pressures him into joining their organization
he only agrees out of desperation and under the promise that they can cure his mother
it’s revealed to him that they’re an angel hunting organization, and that if he helps them, they could easily develop a cure for chou.  shinzou has no clue what this is all about, but he’d do anything for his mother
so they take them from kyoto to maebashi, the city where the phenomen originated from
as it turns out, the hunters couldn’t quite trust a youkai, and so he’s ensnared and branded againist his will, with a spell placed upon him that effectively makes him their slave
the brand is the kanji for the number four  ( 四 )  in a circle on his left inner wrist.  its symbolism represents that this contract is for life  ( read as  shi, same as 死, meaning death  )
they do that, along with taking his star orb, which is essentially his soul taken physical form, and use it as means to keep him in check
hides the brand with a thick leather bracelet
his job is hunting down angels around the city and it’s neighborhood, though sometimes he’d receive an order to go even further afield
his free time is limited, so he strikes a part-time job at a local strip club once more, to have some cash of his own, given the hunters don’t really give him anything
he’s not aware that his mother is used as just another test subject for the angel experiments, and she keeps quiet about it aswell, not wanting her son to worry
what’s worse, her natural eye color is red, so as the mutation takes effect, shinzou doesn’t notice the difference
one day meets a boy, kaede, shy and softspoken, who approaches him when he sees shinzou getting harassed by some stranger who most probably knew him from the strip club, given he was asking for a  freebie
they start hanging out together, pretty much all the time when shinzou has the time
never tells him he’s an angel hunter, given that the boy has angel eyes himself, doesn’t want to put him in dager
as it turns out, he’s the first angel ever created;  he suffered from a terminal blood disease, but this new  ‘cure’  helped him live.  this gives him more hope for his mother to survive, too
things get gAY, they even mate
somewhere along the way he fucks up, and the organization he works for discovers he knows the identity of the first angel, and is ordered to hunt him down and bring him in, alive
is faced with a dilemma, but in the end chooses his family over his love life
so things get angsty, but shinzou eventually does return with the first angel, only to find his mother dead
he never learns how it happened, never really has it confirmed that they’ve been experimenting on her, but the thing is that supernatural creatures don’t handle the angel gene well, and with her already being weak and bed-ridden, she eventually succumbed to it.  he has his suspicions that that’s what happened, but still
also, neither does he learn that she was dying of heartbreak
anyway, he gets mad, forgets his orders, turns into a big bad fox and burns everything
going againist his owners means extreme pain, given the brand, but he endures.  ends up limping and not being able to use his left arm for quite some time
retrieves his star orb along the way, but it doesn’t fully free him from this slavery, since the brand persists  ( more on that later )
his mate survives the destruction, but no one else does.  they rendezvous outside the burning facility, where shinzou bids him goodbye as he feels the need to bring his mother’s body back to kyoto for burial + he needs to deal with his grief
promises he’ll be back tho
shinjou
compared to his brother, shinjou and his father got into a more direct contact with the angel phenomen.  they’re dragged into the more underground business, the criminal side of all this.  they remain in kyoto, though
they’re just as inexperienced around humans, which ends up in the current yakuza head taking their star orbs to have them under their command
they’re manipulated, given the illusion of power, of being in the lead while they’re really not
the yakuza progresses to be one of the most successful groups in the whole angel business, eventually going as far as actually conducting their own experiments, and starting their reign of terror, as they spread the stigma of angels being lesser than humans, that they’re monsters to be contained
the human trafficking begins
ren and shinjou become the first of the yakuza to be infected with the virus voluntarily, their morals and world views so skewed at this point that they’ve become power hungry  ---  ren especially, and shinjou is brought up in his example
shinjou is raised with the regime of all work, no play.  he becomes detached from society, from other people around him, all that matters is that he successfully walks in his father’s footsteps and makes him proud
shinjou’s mutation is cultivated in such a way that it surpasses what the first angel is  ---  he’s mostly a myth as of right now, but they know little tidbits here and there, and believe him to be the greatest specimen, and want shinjou to revolutionize this
he sees this as an honor really
develops a twisted mentality of angels being  beautiful,  rather than monsters, and thinks the world would be better off if everyone became one
he still goes all wrong about this.  i mean, constant torture and terrorism really isn’t going to make the world feel the same smh
eventually, his father succumbs to the angel genes, much like his mate.  this is what triggers the chain reactions of both parents dying, and when shinzou goes to destroy the facility he was  ( is )  chained to
shinjou becomes the next boss abruptly, and still relies on his advisors  ( aka the people owning his star orb at the moment, and the ones actively manipulating him as their pawn )
his father’s death drives him into more aggressive experiments with himself, this is also the time when he starts becoming more interested in the scientific side of all this;  aka where his mad scientist label comes from
he goes too far, so much so that it starts affecting his brain even more than the poor parenting already had, and he starts hearing voices, becomes unable to sleep  ---  and when he does, he always has to deal with sleep paralysis  ---  and even starts coughing up blood every now and then
ofc doesn’t stop SMH
he renames the yakuza to  ‘order of the lotus’  in his father’s honor, and their new insignia becomes the lotus flower
he’s the reason japan no longer views the lotus as a symbol of something good and pure, nor do they use the word  ‘angel’  as a term of endearment anymore
many have attempted to stop him, but to no avail
eventually gets a new cop, ciro, on his tail, who turns out to be an angel himself, with a very unique mutation  ---  the ability to see the past and future, to see through lies and illusions
thanks to this, he’s always a step ahead of shinjou and naturally he gets furious
game of cat and mouse begins but then it also gets gay along the way??
their relationship starts out as just friends with benefits, and only gets more toxic as time goes on
he learns that his new  ‘friend’  was actually originally trying to stop his own father, who was revealed to be shinjou’s current biggest rival in the angel business, someone who actually actively tried breeding angels for better results
shinjou kind of persuades the man to side with him, and their union eventually end in his rival’s demise
so shinjou basically gets the whole country for himself, gg
they end up mating aswell which ends up being a horrible mistake lmao
still, ciro also helps shinjou to free himself from his  ‘advisors’  influence, showing him that they were pulling the strings behind the scenes, gaining more benefits from what shinjou’s been doing that he did, himself
so shinjou gets his star orb back aswell, and is now in full control of his yakuza;  and all of kyoto, really
reunited
the twins find each other at the grove near their old home at the fushimi shrine.  as it turns out, it’s where shinjou had buried their father, and where shinzou went to bury their mother aswell
big feels time™
admittedly shinzou is a little unsettled by how unstable his brother is
shinjou tells him more in detail about the angel genes, and that he is an angel aswell, rather than it being  ‘inari’s curse’
it’s hard for shinzou to accept, but he does...  doesn’t change his opinion on the gods, though
so then he also struggles when he realizes his brother has a god complex
the happiness of finding what remained of his family was better than worrying, though, so he turned a blind eye to basically everything
shinjou gets shinzou to be the yakuza head with him, so shinzou gets a matching lotus tattoo on his spine
he doesn’t actively participate in the angel hunts and experiments his brother conducts, but he does act as a regular hitman and infiltrator, and all that angel-unrelated crime stuff
he meets ciro, and they hate each other.  constant fights and bickering
this has him trying to convince shinjou he’s not good for him, but he doesn’t listen
at one point, the twins agree to exact revenge on their clan, exacting the genocide during the full moon in july that year.  thanks to this, locals start to avoid the oldest of inari’s shrine, believing it to be haunted
the violence helps shinzou get over his grief, even if that had nothing to do with his mother’s death really
he leaves kyoto again to return to maebashi to find his mate
spends some time with him there, but some of the allies of the organization he originally worked for have tracked him down and tried to get him under their command again  ( thanks to the brand and the spell persisting )  and get the first angel
cornered, shinzou cuts off his own arm with his illusory weapons to rid himself of that link.  a price most people wouldn’t pay
he’s now truly free, but has to deal with getting himself a prosthetic and also his wounded pride;  doesn’t allow anyone to see him without the prosthetic, compensates for his ego by working out more, just basically trying to prove the world he’s  not weak
shinzou and kaede decide they should move away from maebashi, given it’s not safe for either for them, so they move to kobe rather than kyoto, because shinzou worries about what his brother might do to his mate who is the long-sought-after first angel
still comes to visit every now and then, though, only to long for leaving again given the constant disputes with his brother’s mate
still ends up hating the fact that he keeps having to choose between his brother and his mate, so he ends up talking kaede into actually moving in to kyoto with him
kaede, being the soft boy that he is, discovers shinjou has a little angel girl in his custody, and adopts her...  steals her, really
shinjou lets him have her, in exchange for his blood sample
shinzou however, disagrees on having children and makes kaede put her to orphanage
time passes, and sans the constant terror the elder twin brings, life seems good
eventually shinzou changes his mind and surprises his mate by actually adopting the little girl, papers and all
they name her chou in the memory of his mother
nothing good lasts forever, though, and shinzou and kaede end up fighting a lot, especially because shinjou’s mate ends up making sexual advances towards the fox out of spite, and it eventually ends in their break up, and  ---  given the angel’s weak psyche  ---  him taking his own life
shinzou is now left being a single mother  ( his daughter refers to him as  ‘mama’  because he encouraged her to view him as her mother figure, because other kids teased her for having two dads )
ciro doesn’t stop with his harassment, just further proving what a piece of shit he is, but shinzou is still unable to change his brother’s mind
frankly, the angel treats both twins differently, but is still a rather toxic presence in both their lives
it leads to ciro actually raping shinzou, though unfortunately for him, it involved touching the kitsune’s tails without his permission, resulting in a curse being laid upon the man that ends up eventually killing him
so essentially, shinzou’s killed his brother’s mate, something he never tells him
he becomes withdrawn from the trauma, and kind of doesn’t ever want to get in another relationship again.  goes back to stripping to deal with this, because it was about the only thing that ever made him feel good and he genuinely enjoyed it;  made him forget things, etc.
with the death of both the twins’ mates, they start feeling the heartbreak settling in, toxic relationships or not
ciro’s death also basically brings shinjou to the brink of insanity, and if he can’t have anything good, then neither can the world
cue the lowkey apocalypse
japan’s end
shinjou’s rage consumes japan;  he kills and destroys without a reason, his obsession with his mate showing
he, unlike his brother, was aware of the whole heartbreak thing
decided to have them both undergo more drastical adjustments to the angel genes in their body, forcing the parasite to keep them alive
the destruction was raw and imminent, though only in kyoto’s near vicinity.  it took years, centuries even, for the young kitsune brothers to overtake all of japan  ---  frankly, it was all mostly shinjou’s doing, but shinzou helped so he’s also guilty gnfjdkg
both shinjou’s mental and physical condition doesn’t get better, given that he accelerated the parasite’s growth
shinzou can do only so much to help him, though.  oftentimes, he’d disguise himself with a glamour of his past mate to help him deal with his loss  ( no matter how gross he felt doing it )  usually when shinjou was so sleep deprived that he believed it to just be a dream, but it was good enough to keep him at least a little sane
japan eventually becomes a prison country, where angels from all around the world are brought in, for shinjou to do whatever he pleases with themhe’s still extremely fascinated by the mutation, so really, most of them end up being lab rats as he tries various new experiments with their dna
angels may have prolonged lifespans, but they are not immortal.  and so, shinzou has to deal with the death of his daughter aswell
they’re alone, have no one but each other, they’re sick, both mentally and physically, they’re withdrawn, dangerous, and unpredictable
despite all that, technology thrives.  the surviving angels form a resistance, and where shinjou focuses on the biological, they focus on the technological
lots of current angels have various cybernetic implants and microchips to enhance them further to actually stand a chance in this war
what shinjou does, is to actively shut down more and more power plants to make the country fully dependant on him, given he commands the element of lightning, it’s easy for him to provide electricity to his surroundings.  ofc, this is limited by his age, but it’s a gradual process
