DMC Netflix - Transfem Dante AU: Meet Liam and Travis
Finally! This took me a while to finished my other OCs for my AU of Devil May Cry 😭
Anyways, meet the boys of the Devil May Cry; Liam and Travis 🤩
Liam Everhart was another one of Dani’s closest friends and, like her, secretly a half-demon hiding beneath the appearance of an ordinary human. Unlike most demon hunters, Liam was shy, gentle, softhearted, and deeply compassionate, though he possessed exceptional talent as a gunslinger and sniper. Among his friends, he was also secretly known for loving BL and GL manga, something that often left him embarrassingly flustered whenever discovered. As a child, Liam was raised by his grandfather Richard and grand-uncle Stephen, who frequently gave him blood transfusions while claiming he suffered from leukemia. Because he was young, Liam believed them, though he never understood where the blood truly came from, as neither of them ever donated directly. Whenever he questioned Simon, Stephen’s son, he was given the same explanation. Shortly after Liam’s twelfth birthday, tragedy struck when cultists attacked Stephen’s laboratory, destroying the entire facility. Richard and Stephen sacrificed themselves protecting Liam, leaving Simon to take custody of the devastated boy. While grieving in the ruins, Liam discovered a mysterious box and remembered Richard’s final words telling him to open it when the time came. Inside were photographs of a boy identical to him, and the moment Liam touched them, painful memories awakened. He remembered that in a previous life, he had been Logan, a half-demon child born from Helena and a demon named Kevin. Helena had fallen in love with Kevin believing he was human, but after discovering his demonic nature, she was manipulated by her family, a cult called the Briars serving Arius, into betraying him while pregnant. Logan was born and imprisoned by the Briars, who viewed half-demons as abominations, and for ten years endured constant torture within a cell, never understanding love because cruelty was all he knew. The only person who cared for him was Richard, who remained unaware of the Briars’ true intentions until Logan died from the abuse. Overcome with guilt, Richard sought out Kevin, who had survived Helena’s betrayal, and together they made a desperate pact to reincarnate Logan so he could have a second chance at life. The ritual succeeded, but fate cruelly rebirthed Logan as Helena’s son again, this time fathered by Cassian, leader of the Briars and the man responsible for Logan’s suffering. Richard immediately escaped with the reincarnated child, while Kevin sacrificed himself protecting them so they could flee. To hide his identity, Richard renamed him Liam Everhart and sought refuge with Stephen, a scientist who allowed them to stay after hearing the truth. Since Liam had been reborn fully human, his dormant demonic heritage needed to be restored, so Simon secretly hunted demons while Richard and Stephen used demon blood in Liam’s “transfusions” throughout childhood to slowly awaken his half-demon nature. Realizing the cultists who attacked the laboratory were the Briars who had hunted them for years, Liam confronted Simon, who finally confessed everything and tearfully admitted his mission had gone wrong, causing him to arrive too late to save Richard and Stephen. Liam never blamed him and instead asked Simon to train him as a demon hunter, quickly proving gifted with firearms. During middle school, Liam befriended a lonely boy named Travis before eventually meeting Dani, Freya, and Camilla, becoming part of their close-knit group and experiencing true friendship for the first time in both lives. After Dani’s infamous prom incident, when years of abuse finally drove her to kill her tormentors and flee, Liam chose to run away alongside them, entering the world of mercenary work and demon hunting. To his friends, Liam appeared as nothing more than a kind and timid human boy, but beneath that gentle smile hid a traumatized half-demon consumed by vengeance, and deep in his heart he knew that someday, after destroying the Briars for murdering Richard and Stephen and for torturing and killing him in his past life, he would finally reveal his true nature to the people he loved most.
Bellatrix – A powerful Devil Arm that takes the form of a specialized sniper rifle. Bellatrix fires highly destructive explosive rounds capable of killing any target the moment the bullet makes contact with their DNA, whether human or demon. If the bullet only strikes a limb instead of a vital area… then consider yourself incredibly lucky, because survival usually comes at the cost of losing that body part.
Liam was inspired by Percival de Rolo from The Legend of Vox Machina, but reimagined as a much shyer, gentler, and openly gay version, while still retaining his incredible marksmanship and deadly precision with firearms.
Travis Cindermane was another one of Dani’s closest friends and a werewolf descended from the powerful Warhowl Pack, a clan dedicated to protecting nature and destroying anyone who sought to exploit or ruin it. Unlike ordinary werewolf legends, the Warhowl Pack had long since made peace with humans and were widely known as guardians of the forests across America. Although they lived in a hidden village deep within the wilderness, their territory existed close enough to nearby cities that the pack had adapted to modern society and understood technology just like any ordinary human community. However, their peaceful existence came to a brutal end when a group of greedy hunters invaded their homeland, slaughtering the entire pack in order to claim their territory and resources. In a desperate attempt to save her son, Travis’s mother, Aurora, placed him on a small boat and sent him drifting down the river moments before the hunters reached her. Helpless and only ten years old, Travis was forced to watch as Aurora was murdered before his eyes, leaving him deeply traumatized by the massacre of his people. Days later, he was discovered by members of a local church and brought into an orphanage, but adjusting to human life proved difficult. The other children treated Travis like an outcast because of his aggressive behavior, unaware that much of the way he acted came from his natural werewolf instincts. Although the priests and nuns genuinely cared for him and treated him like family, Travis remained emotionally distant, still haunted by the violent deaths of his pack and unable to trust humans after what had happened. As he grew older and entered school, his anger and unresolved trauma turned him into a feared delinquent who constantly pushed others away. Most students avoided him entirely, eventually giving him the nickname “The Lone Wolf” because of his violent temper and isolated nature. Everything began to change when he entered middle school and met Liam Everhart. At first, Liam repeatedly tried to befriend him, but Travis stubbornly rejected every attempt and found Liam’s persistence incredibly irritating. Yet after witnessing Liam’s unwavering determination and genuine kindness, something inside Travis slowly began to change. For the first time since losing his family, he allowed himself to trust someone again, and the two eventually became inseparable friends. Over time, Travis quietly developed feelings for Liam, drawn not only to his appearance but also to the kindness and warmth that Travis himself had lost long ago. Through Liam, Travis eventually met Daniella Rosaline Sparda, Freya Valkyria, and Camilla Veltharion, becoming part of their growing friend group and slowly finding the sense of family he thought had died alongside the Warhowl Pack. After the horrific prom incident, when Dani finally snapped after years of suffering and fled alongside her friends, Travis chose without hesitation to leave with them and enter the dangerous world of mercenary work and demon hunting. Though Travis had long since lost his faith in humanity after witnessing humans destroy everything he loved, perhaps through the people he now called friends… he might finally learn how to trust humanity again.
Claudius — A powerful Devil Arm that takes the form of a spear and grants its wielder dominion over the element of earth. By driving Claudius directly into the ground, the user can unleash devastating earthquakes capable of shaking the battlefield, while also summoning massive rock formations that can either serve as defensive barriers or transform into deadly spikes designed to impale nearby enemies. Because of its destructive area of effect, anyone standing too close should react quickly and dodge immediately… otherwise, death may come by accident if you are an ally, or very much on purpose if you are an enemy.
The collar around Travis’s neck is a sealing bind created to suppress his werewolf nature and prevent him from fully transforming. Once the collar is removed, Travis becomes a fully fledged werewolf, no longer requiring the presence of a full moon to trigger the transformation. In this state, he can freely maintain his werewolf form both during the night under the moon and even beneath the light of the sun.
