-The gang was mostly made up of children with no other place to go. Orphans, run aways, children not wanted by their families; the gang, like many of its kind, was considered a last resort for kids with no other options. All of the members came from various painful pasts, and they managed to find some semblance of family in each other, which was, in many cases, the last option they had for someone on their side.
-The kids in the gang ranged in age from teenagers like Lucks to kids as young as eight. It would have been unwise to discriminate against anyone who wanted to be loyal to them, so the gang accepted even younger kids who needed a place to belong. It was all too common for children with no other place to go to join gangs of other kids, and even the youngest knew that, if they were loyal, they could have somewhere to belong.
-Gangs like this one were generally hated by adults, and treaded a fine line between being allowed to exist and being wiped out. They could continue to live so long as they didn’t cause too much trouble… but unfortunately, “trouble” often included things the kids had to do just to live. It would be all too easy for the adults to decide that the gang was worth being destroyed.
-He had no idea it was even possible to turn a human into a vampire, but it makes sense that you wouldn’t want to lose someone so close to you. Since you’re the only thing that makes life worth living for him, and since he doesn’t want to hurt you, he chooses to accept your offer.
Reiji:
-Knowing that you were a supernatural creature and having to choose whether or not to become one himself are very different things indeed. The choice is a complete shock to him, and he’s left struggling to think of an answer that both won’t offend you and won’t be too much for him to live with.
Ayato:
-While a part of him is elated that you want to be with him forever, it’s a much tougher choice to decide if he wants to become a vampire. The offer hardly feels real, like it shouldn’t be possible… but it does seem kind of cool. If it means being with you, it might be a good idea.
Kanato:
-If it means being with you, he’s willing to do anything. You’re the first person to pay attention to him and treat him like he’s worth your time, and just the fact that you want him to be with you forever makes him so happy he could never say no. He’s happy to accept your offer and never leave your side.
Laito:
-He can’t say he didn’t expect you to do something to keep him with you for longer than a human lifespan would allow, but being given the chance to become a vampire is not what he was anticipating. He honestly doesn’t know what choice to make, and will have to consider it for a while.
Subaru:
-Just the fact that you want him to be with you for that long shocks him, as does your willingness to do something so extreme just for his sake. He doesn’t know if he can agree to give up his humanity quite so easily, Although, it’s definitely a tough choice not to do what you want.
Ruki:
-He has absolutely no idea how to take an offer like that. While he definitely wants to be with you, becoming something inhuman is an extreme choice. He gives you as polite an answer as possible, while still giving himself some time to consider if he could really give up being human.
Kou:
-Of course he wants to be with you, but that’s just an impossible thing to ask. Giving up his whole life just to make sure he’d live long enough to be your partner is unbelievable, and yet, he can’t deny that he’s a bit tempted by the idea of becoming something more than human.
Yuuma:
-Is that kind of thing even possible? It seems downright unreal that you’re offering to turn him into a vampire, and even though he can’t say that he doesn’t want to be with you, he’s not sure if he can really accept something like that. It’s definitely a very tough choice to make.
Azusa:
-He’ll happily do anything you ask, and barely even stops to consider what agreeing to this might entail. As long as you’re happy, he’s willing to do anything, even if that means losing his humanity. He agrees almost immediately, absurdly pleased that you gave him the chance.
Carla:
-He’s hesitant to give you a distinct answer, but after learning that the change would likely cure his illness, is highly tempted by the prospect of living that much more free of pain. He doesn’t want to deny you, but the very idea of becoming a vampire is… intimidating, to say the least.
Shin:
-Are you serious? It takes a little bit for it to sink in that you really want to turn him into a vampire, and when it does, it’s a total shock. He can’t believe you can really do something like that, and can’t bring himself to accept right away, even though it feels weak to not be able to give you answer.
-He’s used to a mother who’s practically perfect, and has no idea how to deal with you being the near opposite. However, it’s definitely nice not to feel like he has to measure up to someone so much better than him.
Reiji:
-He has a hard time putting up with imperfections in himself, and it definitely takes him a while to get used to you being so much less than perfect. He’s definitely used to holding people to high standards.
Ayato:
-Being the only thing you can keep track of is definitely a boost to his ego, and it’s good for him to see someone who isn’t good at everything, unlike how his mother made him think he’s expected to be.
Kanato:
-As long as you remember him and Teddy, he doesn’t care a bit about how disorganized you are. All that really matters to him is if he’s getting attention from you, and he’s not likely to care about your personal habits.
Laito:
-Your forgetful nature gives him a good opportunity to win some of your favor by being helpful. If he helps you keep track of things, you’ll look at him fondly, making his position in your household much safer.
Subaru:
-It doesn’t bother him a bit that you’re forgetful. It’s so much of a shock that you remember him that he doesn’t think to care. He’s much more used to just being an afterthought in people’s minds, even his mother’s.
Ruki:
-Even though he finds himself a bit irritated with how imperfect you are, he’s a huge help in helping you remember and keep track of things. Honestly, you’re too good for him to bother with being picky.
Kou:
-He barely notices how forgetful you are, in all honestly. He’s not one to pay attention to the small flaws of the person who actually takes care of him. To him, you’re perfect no matter what you’re like.
Yuuma:
-No matter how forgetful you are, he’s happy to help out, doing whatever he can to help you function every day. He doesn’t mind any bit of your personality, and is always happy that you manage to remember him.
Azusa:
-He hardly even realizes how disorganized you can be, mostly thanks to the fact that he’s twice as spacey himself. He also tends to see you as absolutely perfect, and barely notices any flaws that you have.
Carla:
-He has no problems with how you are, other than the fact that it’s hard for him to accept anything less than perfection. He’s always been trained to have to be perfect, and he doesn’t understand how anyone could not be the same.
Shin:
-He tends to get a little bit frustrated with your bad memory, but as long as you remember him, he won’t get too upset. He’s used to an environment where perfection is expected, and can’t believe you can be so not.
You meant everything to him, the only person that had been able to pull him out of the misery that had kept him captive for years.
But losing Edgar again could very well be the end of him. He didn’t know if he could take going through the same pain all over again.
Either way, he was going to be crushed. Losing either one of you would be the blow that shut him down for good. But if he didn’t act, if he didn’t choose to abandon one of you, he’d lose everything
Shuu could already feel the terror, the panic closing in.
Whatever he chose, he’d be doomed. Whatever he chose, someone would get hurt. Whatever he chose, he’d be better off dead. .
-He pretends to not care, but if you pay attention, you can see that he’s getting rather flustered. Acknowledging to himself that he likes what you do to him is one thing, but having it pointed out is worse in so many ways.
Reiji:
-He’s so embarrassed that his blush practically glows. If you point it out too much, he’ll get angry and defensive, so go easy on the poor guy before you actually crush what little ego he has left.
Ayato:
-It’s a huge hit to his pride to have you actually pointing out how much he likes being pushed around, and he gets angry out of sheer desperation to make you stop. His ego absolutely can’t take being teased.
Kanato:
-If you tease him about it too much, he’s likely to cry. On one hand, you’re paying attention to him, which is always good, but he doesn’t like being made fun of at all, especially over something so embarrassing.
Laito:
-He laughs and goes along with it, and depending on if your relationship is close, might tease you back for being a sadist. Inside, he doesn’t like being teased very much, but it’s better than some things you could do.
Subaru:
-He turns so red you might actually have to worry about him passing out, and stutters out an absolutely pathetic defense. He can’t take embarrassment of any kind, and practically shuts down from the teasing.
Ruki:
-It very nearly crushes his pride to have you pointing out something like that even if it is true. He’ll try to end the conversation quickly, too ashamed to handle you continuing to make fun of him.
Kou:
-He tries to laugh off the teasing, but it’s obvious how red his face and ears have gone. He starts tripping over his words quickly, visibly embarrassed by the kind of teasing that’s impossible to deny or dismiss.
Yuuma:
-He ducks his head and refuse to look at you, face heating up as you point out what’s possibly the most embarrassing thing he’s ever had to admit. He gets angry quickly out of a sheer desire to make you stop.
Azusa:
-He happily agrees with you, completely missing the point of the teasing. It doesn’t embarrass him a bit that he’s masochistic, and if anything, he’s hopeful that you’ll do something to prove that he is.
Carla:
-He goes quiet almost immediately, trying to keep his cool even as you tear his pride to shreds. He’s so embarrassed the tips of his ears are actually going red, hands faintly shaking from the shame.
Shin:
-He gets viciously angry with you for teasing him, snapping at you to shut up already and quit making fun of him. He can’t stand the hits to his pride and would do almost anything just to make you stop.
-The general societal view on vampires is pretty similar to how we see exotic pets. They’re fancy, high maintenance, and have the potential to be dangerous, but a lot of people are insistent that they can be safe owning them. They’re expensive to own, as they function similarly to humans, and generally can be seen as something like owning a combination of an expensive breed of purebred cat and a rather large snake; fancy and high quality, but difficult to care for and potentially dangerous.
-Humans generally treat vampires the same as they would animals. They’re known to be trained into safe behavior, and the humans that are comfortable with owning them treat ones that aren’t theirs the same as they would someone else’s large dog; impressive and amazing to see from a distance probably wise to ask before getting too close in case it’s not one of the well trained ones. Humans who don’t like how human vampires look are more likely to keep their distance and just avoid the situation altogether.
-There are probably some people who are in favor of vampire rights, although they’d likely be seen as rather extreme, like a certain animal rights group today. Vampires are generally accepted as too dangerous to be kept in any other way, and most people easily excuse the worst aspects of their treatment with “they’re tough enough to take it” or “it’s the only way to keep them tame”.
-Vampires see humans as something to be feared and respected. Through selective breeding, only the weakest, most compliant ones still exist, and those that are kept in the breeding pool fully believe that it’s their place to be underneath humans. They’re well aware that disobedience will get them killed, and know very well that they have to obey and play nice or risk being put down. Many of them are outright afraid of humans, since they know all too well the kinds of things that happen when one gets mad. Many are even happy to be with an owner that actually takes care of them.
-Humans that don’t own vampires are split between those that just don’t have one, and those that are actively made uncomfortable by the practice. Those that just don’t have one see those that do as we see people with dogs or cats; a normal part of society that they just don’t choose to take part in. Those that don’t like the practice at all are more likely to view it as how we see exotic pets like tigers and monkeys; unsafe and probably a bad idea to mess with.
Admin Mawile: Aaaaand the flu came back. So sorry to ya’ll that this took so long to get posted, but I’ve been feeling pretty gross for the past week OAO I’m a very tired Admin…
My human Au designs for the Mukami and Tsukinami are below!
-Very, very responsible, with a cool, collected personality and a desire to have control at all times. More or less the surrogate mom of his brothers.
-His parents were wealthy business people who’s fortune was lost in a bad investment. His parents gave up custody of him after they decided they could no longer provide for him properly in their home.
-The orphanage was still an absolute nightmare, just more neglectful instead of outright torturous. Ruki wasn’t branded, but he had in stamped in his papers that he’s a troublemaker, which made it very hard for him to find a home.
-He’s very insistent on taking care of his family, and can’t stand to be away from his brothers. They’re his real family now, and he’s impossibly attached.
-His hair is mostly the same as in canon, if a bit shorter and spikier. He’s very careful with his appearance, and tries to look neat at all times.
-Clothing wise, he wears semi-formal, proper things that fit him well and flatter his appearance. He’s very conscious of how he looks, and makes an effort to be presentable and well dressed whenever others can see him.
Mukami Kou:
-His personality is still two faced, but much less dramatic a change than in canon. He’s sort of a dark person, but hides it under a cutesy exterior.
-As a child abandoned by his family, he spent most of his life in the orphanage, and can’t remember his parents. He was neglected and treated very strictly there, but nowhere near to the extent of what happened in canon.
-He’s still an idol, but much less famous than his canon counterpart. He was recruited for his cute face and good voice, and adores what fame he has.
-He still believes in give and take, and has a hard time accepting that anyone can be nice to him if they don’t want something in return. He has major trust issues due to abandonment, and only truly trusts his brothers.
-Longer, fluffier hair than in canon, that he styles to be as fashionable and cute as possible. He no longer wears a ponytail (since he doesn’t have the magic eye), but takes great care to always look his best for his fans.
-His clothing style is cutesy and mostly pink and black. He has an image to maintain, and is very picky about what brands he wears.
Mukami Yuuma:
-He’s a loud, aggressive, straightforward person who hates pretense and complicated things. A bit dim, he tends to solve problems with strength instead of reason, and is determined to take care of his family.
-His parents were in an accident when he was young (shortly after moving away from a certain friend), and he wound up in the orphanage after that.
-He doesn’t remember Shuu because of the trauma he suffered when losing his family, and has blocked out a lot of his childhood for the same reason.
-Was part of a street gang during his orphanage years, at least until Ruki made him quit. He’s very good at getting close to people and making friends, and his honest, blunt personality wins people over well.
-He has longer hair than in canon, and wears it in a similar messy ponytail. He rarely brushed it, preferring to just tie it up and keep it out of his way.
-Fashion wise, his style is casual and simple, things that won’t get in his way while gardening or give him any trouble to pick out. He wears mostly plain things, and goes through a lot of clothes thanks to rips and tears.
Mukami Azusa:
-With a highly gentle and quiet personality, people expect him to be a doormat. He’s actually highly aggressive and pushy, and almost always gets his way.
-He was abandoned by his family when he was a baby, and had spent his entire life in the orphanage before Karlheinz adopted them. He’s never known family before his brothers, and had been bullied and neglected terribly.
-He’s still a total masochist, although what he can do is a bit limited because he’s just a human. He loves being hurt and sees pain as love and acceptance, and still has an ongoing self harm hobby.
-More shy than he is as a vampire, Azusa tends to stay out of the way unless he wants something. He’s horribly afraid of being demanding and getting thrown away because of it.
-His hair is shorter than in canon, and he wears it in a cropped fluffy cut that takes very little effort to maintain. He tends to forget to take care of himself.
-As far as clothing goes, he likes soft, comfortable things that he can stay warm in. He’s very skinny and gets cold easily, and wears a lot of sweaters and soft shirts because of this. He likes dark colors, especially red and blue.
Tsukinami Carla:
-He’s a stern, cold person much like in canon, but his softer side isn’t hidden anywhere near as deeply as it if for his First Blood self.
-Gentle and soft hearted by nature, he’s had to train himself to be cold for the sake of taking over the family business. He was abused by his father throughout his youth, and forces himself to be cold and tough.
-He’s chronically ill with an unidentified condition, and suffers from all kinds of symptoms that make even basic functioning nearly impossible.
-Originally from a highly wealthy family, after his mother passed away from illness, his father made poor choices and lost everything, later abandoning the family. Shin is the only one left that he can rely on, especially while he’s ill.
-His hair is longer than in canon, and he usually wears it in a long, loose ponytail that goes almost to his waist. He hasn’t cut it since he was a child.
-His fashion is very formal and proper, and her wears mostly neutral colors that compliment his looks. He’s very vain, and makes a massive effort to present himself well, even when his sickness has him nearly bedridden.
Tsukinami Shin:
-He’s highly aggressive and gets himself into trouble constantly, mostly for acting out and starting fights. Carla is honestly ashamed of him for it.
-Instead of losing his eye, he just got a nasty scar over it when he was younger. The scar came from a fight he picked with the wrong person, from which Carla had to negotiate to rescue him from.
-Horribly stubborn, he does exactly what he wants regardless of what anyone thinks. He’s a troublesome boy, and can never stay off of someone’s bad side.
-He looks up to Carla above all, and has a highly close, respectful relationship with him. He lacks the hatred that his canon self feels for his brother, and cares so much for Carla than he’s given up almost everything to take care of him.
-His hair is longer than it is in canon, and is worn in a loose uncombed style that he thinks makes him look cool and tough.
-The style that he wears can best be described as edgy. He thinks the things he wears look cool, but few others would agree. He wears mostly dark colors, and many, many things that have wolf motifs on them.
Admin Mawile: ( ・ω・)ノ This was really fun to write!
-Don’t let him talk you into hurting him. As much as he wants it, you can get a lot farther with him by being kind. He’ll get used to not being hurt eventually, and can learn other ways of being shown care.
-Affection will very nearly break him. He’s completely used to only being shown “appreciation” through pain, and genuine kindness will practically make him shut down. Be patient and nice to him, and he’ll learn how to adjust.
-He’ll eat himself sick if you let him, so monitor how much he gets to eat. He’s not used to having food, and will eat anything he’s given.
-All of his scars can be pretty painful at times. As much as he claims to like it, learn the signs and help him when he’s hurting. He’ll be eternally grateful for the care, even if he claims to be fine with the pain.
-He’s likely to try to hide how much pain he’s in in the hopes you’ll hurt him more. Make it very clear that you always expect the truth from him.
-Attention and praise rule him more than anything. If you’re good to him, he’ll do anything you say without the slightest hesitation.
-You’ll probably have to work on his confidence. He sees himself as worthless unless he’s being hurt, and will need a lot of kindness and reassurance to ever see himself in any other way.
-It’s unlikely that he’ll express his needs and wants for fear of being a burden, and you’ll be wise to learn to ask him what he needs from you.
