Kind of obsessed with this woman's freakishly modern jacket from 1904.
The complete lack of shoulder definition gives it the silhouette of an MA-1 bomber jacket, but bombers weren't even a thing yet. The Wright brothers barely achieved powered flight in 1903. The ribbing on the shoulder and the angular cutouts with the hexagonal mesh are so futuristic and cyberpunk, but even art deco wouldn't be a thing for another 15 years. The color is like a dusty NASA flight suit. All together it's giving lone spacefarer crash landing their tiny rustbucket ship on Mars.
Magical girl who had wanted to be one so badly but never had that magical mascot/mentor encounter so she summoned a demon to contract with instead.
It's not a dark story or anything, the magical girl is just as cute and cheery and friendly as factory standard and never loses that faith and optimism, she's just
Pact-bound to a frightening demon from the underworld instead of a cute teddy bear mouse.
Demon being viewed as weird for making a pact with a cute, cheery schoolgirl.
At every demon party where they show off their pacted there's evil, terrible, and frighteningly beautiful and then there's this teenager in a cute magical girl dress.
"I don't get you Goragog." "Listen, it's nice. Just nice! Can't things be nice? Is it a sin for things to be nice?" "No and that's part of the problem..." "You're just jealous Samantha created a "bffs forever" blingee with me. When was the last time one of your warlocks did something like that for you?" "*on the verge of tears* it's been DECADES!"
Er'trian, Harbinger of Eternal Night, Defender of the Shrieking Chasm, and Lord of Eight Furies stared at eir favorite rival in confusion.
"But it's a pact," ey said. "A deal. An exchange is built in! You can't just Bestow Magical Powers for nothing in return. So what are you getting out of this, Goragog???"
Goragog's dark eyes wept their endless ichor. A halo of eldritch nightmares flickered around his head. With deliberate slowness he turned to meet Er'trian's accursed gaze.
Goragog gets invited to the annual "Magical Mascot" convention and after the initial trepidation is a Big Hit.
The smaller and non flying Mascots especially love him because he is willing to carry them or sit on his shoulders so they have an unobstructed view.
The Ancient Guardians vote unanimously to make him an honorary Mascot including Membership in the Union with all privileges therin including his own personal chibi form to use when his normal visage would be problematic.
name pending. this was copied over from a discord word vomit so. sorry. picrew is the primary one for grimm i think
kuurosh is besties/rivals with a small pink padawan. their rivalry was originally built on their primary physical/close quarters fighting style, and further developed as they bonded over being expected to be a certain way because of their physical appearances.
shes a small pink haired near-human. people expect of her the typical "act like a lady shit" and she HATES it. i feel like they had a new chechemaster maybe? that hadn't unpacked a lot of their biases. and that would also teach the other initiates/crechelings their biases.
she is very stronk and wins most of their [her n kuurosh's] spars
they're both okay at standard lightsaber forms, and they're both driven to improve for one reason or another but i have a lot of fun with the idea of them primarily not fighting with them as a choice
in the creche, pink wanted to become the orders battlemaster. when she learned that the battlemaster was a lightsaber focused role, she was Very unimpressed.
i think shes gonna have a rly old chill dude as her master. shes rly hot-headed and loud [partially developped as a defence against being stereotyped and overlooked] and was very clear about what she wanted and thus didn't have much luck with finding a master, and when old guy asks her she's like. kind of panicked and conflicted and angry, and accepts thinking that he's her last chance. and somehow hes a fucking perfect master for her.
also theyre shadows too, but they do more plain sight blend in espionage together.
like, he doesn't/ cant do a lot of very physical/fighting missions and training but he's Really well connected both in and out of the jedi order to get her experience that way. "surprisingly" knowledgeable about non-lightsaber fighting. really good at helping her with her emotional shit and stuff like that.
it is later revealed that they used to be one of the best combat specialists in the order. got injured and now theyre wheelchair bound. tjey didn't tell her as a learning opportunity, to try to show her an example of using other people's biases about you against them, and helping her with her persona she uses and how to healthily manage it and deal with others expextations and biases.
genderwise i feel like she experimented bc the female stereotypes chafed but settles into fem genderqueer.
species also in the air. i kind of really want to lean into the visually "weak" stereotypes
subconsciously i was inspired by what wr could have had .......
