Updating my Artfight because im gonna stop being a lazy chud ass mf and people WILL know Black Coils Lore you can also check out @blackcoils too :) (its mostly just reposts but it is the official account)
A group of slum misfits scrounging for employment, when they come across a darkly dressed Mamba, gesturing with promises. To be fed. To be healed, to be nurtured. To be unalone. And to be independent. Black Coils.
here's a Line up with accurate height of everyone so far! (there are MORE characters but I have yet to finalize their designs and references at the moment
Cruk Dé Morté
The Head of the drug and spice dealing Company 'Black Coils', and infamous cartel within the underworld. His endeavors are targeting the wealthy and getting his extremely potent product hooked by aristocrats. He then funnels the profits into lower income areas of Bivithia in order to restore its wellbeing, unlike when he was a kid.
While Cruk's demeanor is polite and respectful, make no mistake for what he's in. He violent and ruthless for what he stands for, and motivated and inspired by his past to continue his business.
Species: Black Mamba
Alaphour Stowice
From humble beginning to consumed by greed and ego, Alaphour or 'Al' is a business man set on bringing together both venomous and non-venomous alike to achieve a greater goal: securing wealth for both sides equally. By starting this, he saw Cruk as a potential candidate as a business partner and sooner or later a friend. Over time Al became obsessed with his image, as the middle ground, leading him to dabble in underworld activity more frequently, with Cruk along his side as a 'buffer' as he liked to put it. After a while, he noticed Cruk asking to use funds from Al's company for a little project. Al allowed him small percentages that grew overtime, as he trusted Cruk was doing the right he saw in him. Sooner or later he was met with the end of Cruk's contract, asking him if he wanted to still continue. He was denied and left all alone again to wallow in his success.
Al was humble and innocent in the beginning with many flaws, such as being prejudice. He sees an opportunity of friending venomous regyians as an opportunity to present himself 'better' than the other non-venomous, instead of just seeing the venomous just as he would with non-venomous. He often does this with Cruk a lot, using him as a sense to bring his reputation to a more neutral level. Overtime that personality gets worse an he starts telling a Cruk that he's 'not like the others'. Besides for being like that, Al seemed he was trying to do justice with bringing together nv and v (non-venomous and venomous), and failed in the aspect that his ego got the better of him noticing if he got both of their attention he could profit off them with his watch company and other shareholds.
species: King Snake
Erela Evanthi Stowice
Meet Erela
Her right eye had to be removed when she hatched due to a tumor, so she was given a patch to wear over her eye when she was younger but as she got older, she realized the opportunity that she could decorate herself even more, as that was her thing starting up, and decided it would be fitting to have a ticking working functional clock for her eye.
Her right arm is also a prosthetic with half resistant ceramic parts and such, for beauty reasons. She cares a lot about making herself presentable, and enjoys perfection, not to the point where it’s toxic, but loves natural beauty as well. If she was human though she’d HATE the entire concept of plastic surgery. She wants everyone to except themselves for their own beauty as that’s what she seeks.
She purposely didn’t want artificial nails for her prosthetic hand that’s why there’s no claws. There’s another clock built into that hand as well.
Her personality is spunky with a hint of endearment to mask her violent tendencies and intrusive thoughts. She comes off as ‘joyfully threatening’, but due to her lack of combat abilities and size, she’s EASY to beat… that is if you had finished off the entire Yakuza she hires to protect her.
Species: Leucistic Coral and King snake hybrid
Pareè Unóso
The Prince of Spades, and owner of several casinos, Pareé is the main patron and contractor of Black Coils, and has close ties with Cruk. Although that wasn't always the case, as he had always had afterthoughts about living in the world of aristocracy, but a glimpse into the underworld had him set on actually doing something with his inheritance. He met Cruk and purposed to contract with him, although over time it became more than just a simple contract on both sides.
Pareé is the opposite of boring unlike most aristocrats, using his butterfly personality to swindle people into staying at his casino built in hotel. He knows how to get any good attention over, with his flirtatious and welcoming acts, and even sometimes pole dances for special VIP seats on special occasions or even drag.
Species: Peacock
Aldaak Théstil
Aldaak is a pathfinder for Black Coils, guiding them down a more secure path where not to encounter military occupants. She also acts as an advertiser for their product and their services to the low income areas. When she is not on duty, she is fairly quiet and collective, as she isn't familiar with much of the rest of Bivithia due to the fact she lived in an isolated village in the middle of the desert.
Due to Aldaak being the most venomous of black coils, she covers her entire body and face to avoid intimidating people for simply being an inland Taipan.
species: Inland Taipan
Argu Ethietimanto
Agru serves as Cruk's right hand bodyguard with his experience being an EXboxer being put into use again. He is the brute of the core of Black Coils, and loyal to Cruk no matter what. Much like Lotus, he helps out with transporting cargo around, and standing by the boss with in a contract signing situation.
Agru is emotionally attached to Black Coils as Cruk had literally pulled him out of being homeless, as he saw potential, that being his betting boxing career, after being in prison for 7 years.
species: European Death Adder
I.U.
A Unit programmed for military stealth operations as well as seizing specific targets with quick precision and efficient control, I.U. or ‘Invader Unit’, is a classified product of advancement in technology and prosthetics put to the test on the fields.
I.U. is able to self mutilate its body to achieve it’s desired task. It uses a version of clicks for communication (the equivalent to ‘morse code’) as a means to encrypt its messaging, as well as clicks for echo location. It’s eyesight is not very keen as it’s sense of direction and hearing although it can shut off it’s eardrums in order protect it’s hearing receptors. It’s origins are unknown but it has a thirst for blood, which means it’s not entirely artificial. It is the prime cause for Lotus’s prosthetic durning her time in the military.
I.U. Is fueled by electrolytes and other organic matter to continue to run and rarely ever runs out of that energy.
Species: N/A
Lotus Dorn
Lotus is a working hitman for the head of Black Coils, Cruk Dé Morté, and a part time spice dealer. Although she's more of a cartel assistant, she also is Cruk's left side bodyguard, despite her stunted appearance.
She feels obligated to fill the position as an employee of Black Coils in order to continue her investigation quietly of what happened to her mother. Species: Ball python, green Anaconda, Boa
Ivvislav Dorn
She has lost connection and contact with Bivithia command, so they cannot record whether or not she is alive or dead. Though the archives perceive as MIA (missing in action). This was 6 years after she was deployed
Outside of the military, she is composed and quiet especially around her husband. She rarely ever speaks out to him especially around Lotus, but their relationship became flimsy after Lotus was convinced. She feels obligated to provide and satisfy her husband's wants up until her eventual informal departure.
Species: Mexican west coast boa constrictor
