Jonas is the only one that gets to keep his first and last name (lololol hes the only one w a first And last name) snfhdjhd + he and lobo get special treatment design wise because Billy and Layla are already human. Concept sketches⬇️
Anyway , Lobo -> Bo Loczarnio, Billy the Girl -> Brianne “Billy” Tigre, and Layla -> Layla Legen
Bo, Billy, and Jonas run an auto shop together. Bo does paint jobs and customization, Billy is the permanent mechanic, and Jonas (among other things) runs the books. I say “permanent mechanic” because I think all three of them are very competent mechanics but Billy does most of their client repairs. They mostly cater to biker groups and street racers
They operate out of an old warehouse they bought together! It has two levels: the shop on the ground floor and a converted apartment in the second floor! Jonas, Bo, and Billy live in the flat, though Billy isn’t actually there that often. She mostly just showers & stores things there. Sleeps at home maybe twice a week. #partygirl
Layla, whose family owned the warehouse before selling it, runs a bar in the same lot. Since the opening of the auto shop the bar has become primarily a biker joint—but the previous clientele, Layla’s drag racing friends, still frequent
Jonas also tends the bar when Layla is unavailable/he isn’t busy doing finances. He likes playing bartender more than anything but someone’s gotta run the numbers. He helps Layla with hers too
Jonas, also, is blind! Not completely, but legally. He sees some light and shadow (not much). the only reason he doesn’t help with the paint jobs that come through💔
Bo and Jonas are both ex-cons who met in prison. Bo got in for assault & arson & grand theft auto. All separate incidents, all have happened more than once. Jonas was tried as an adult for killing his dad when he was 17…..yea……
I haven’t decided how Billy met Jonas and Bo…..she might also be an ex-con but even if she was i think it’s unlikely she’d be in the same prison as the other two. If she Was convicted it would either be for money crimes or assault charges (someone said something they shouldn’t have any she clapped back maybe harder than was strictly necessary)
Anyway I think all three of them are long time friends that have adopted Layla somewhere in the last 6 years👍 Maybe Billy and Layla knew each other from the racing scene (image of Billy as a scantily-clad track marshal waving the flags n shit👁️👁️) and struck a deal for the warehouse that way
Darlene will also be involved with this AU but i haven’t finalized her role yet💔 open to suggestions but i don’t expect any lol
Lobo biology hcs! I’ve seen a lot floating around and I wanted to archive my personal ones for my own future use haha. Maybe someone else will also enjoy
With photo evidence bc apparently I love to suffer🫶🫶🫶
Lobo cannot hold onto any piercings or tattoos. His healing factor prevents him from forming scar tissue, so piercings become a nuisance and tattoos fade quickly. That being said, I think he gets tattoos frequently just for shits and gigs. They fade completely within 72 hours
I really like when Czarnians are flavored as catlike!! That means a couple of things:
His eyes dilate like crazy. Lobo does in fact have pupils, but it often appears he doesn't because his irises get super super tiny in the light. His default state is actually much more dilated in order to let in the maximum amount of light (needed to see through the void of space) (loosely based on a hc by @cuddlebuggg). Lobo can big his eyes on command unless he's inebriated--then they stay big and huge and dopey against his will
His hands and feet are padded! For stalking. He's very adept at running on all fours. & if he didn't wear enormous boots and crazy chains he would be completely silent about it.
I have a few things to say about Lobo's hair. First and foremost, it's really thick and coarse. I'm imagining it like boar hair. It doesn't style very well. Second, Lobo's hair emotes with him! He puffs up like a cat's tail when he's angry/threatened/surprised. Also, his "baby hairs" are actually whiskers! They aid his navigation, precision, balance, and emote more precisely than the rest of his hair. He likes hats but if he wears them for long periods of time he gets whisker fatigue
The image of him w the big dopey eyes is an example of a friendly whisker expression btw ! Didn’t want to put it twice tho
Lobo's ears are very pointed and mobile! They rotate around for better hearing and emote with him (airplane ears lobo u are so special 2 me)
And very important: Lobo purrs!!!!!! Only when he's well and truly relaxed (which is not that often). Very very loud.
Okay I have a lot to say about his mouth but I'll keep the nsfw hcs separate. hehe. um. So bro has shark teeth. He has tons of them and they fall out all the time. Since they grow in so fast and so many there are a lot of teeth that grow in wrong. Lobo is known to just reach in and rip those ones out.
Listen. listen ok. Lobo produces a metric fuck ton of spit. listen. this is based on how many fucking panels there are of him drooling. It's not a normal amount of panels. Especially early on in the lobo series. It's mostly a matter of scent marking, which is evolutionarily important to Czarnians.
Lobo's tongue is a scent organ! His olfactory system is similar to a cat or a snake (but more advanced). He also has very very precise control of his tongue muscles! His wiki says he's fluent in like 17k languages or something??? So he can make tons or shapes to produce tons of sounds.
And the last one I have for now is that the lining on his cheek/upper lip is not a mustache but a facial marking! Same as around his eyes. I’ve seen it depicted both ways but it makes more sense to me that it’s part of his skin and also i don’t like mustaches
More human au stuff! Including some design revisions :3 their ages keep fluctuating i really gotta settle on something. Early-mid thirties is where they are in this page
I think the shop will be called Billy and the Boys. They (Billy and Bo mostly, Jonas didn’t mind) fought over the name for a long time. Jonas suggested they have a fistfight to see who got to name the place and Billy won. Bo still hasn’t lived it down
If anyone has anything to say about their mechanic being a woman they’re getting kicked in the ass by all three of them. Bo is pulling his switchblade, Jonas is pulling his handgun, and Billy is pulling her brass nucks. Do NOT come in here with your misogyny.
Bo HAAAAATES being interrupted while he’s working. Jonas is the only one that can talk to him while he’s busy and not get something immediately thrown at his head. And even that’s only on a good day. Leave that bitch ALONE
Jonas spent over a decade in the big house. Jeremiah’s death was ruled as voluntary manslaughter, which is a sentence of 11-15 years. He probably got out a little early on good behavior but either way he’d be in there over a decade. Went in at 17 and went out almost or over 30💔
Bo, on the other hand, kept getting in and out through his teens and into his twenties. 3 years, then another 7, and another 3-4 that came back to bite him in the ass later on. Jonas may have done one long sentence but Bo has probably done more time overall. Plus he’s the most likely to get arrested again.
This post talked about mtf Billy and all three of them meeting in prison…..i like that a lot. That’s canon to this au now. They all got along like a house on fire and after a few years started talking about opening a shop once they were out. Billy, having done the least time by far, was probably the one to find and negotiate the warehouse sale. She might have even lived there alone pre-renovation, while one or both of the boys was still locked up.
Oh and Layla has definitely gotten busted for street racing but she probably just paid the fine and moved on #trustfundbaby
Bonus hc: Bo does indeed have fish at home. Probably betas because they’re aggressive and territorial like him. Also they’re pretty to look at. I don’t think they have names either. Bo is just like “the fishy” “my fishies” and everyone accepts it bc what else are you gonna do
Layla decides to expand her bar by adding a kitchen! More sales, more profit. Unfortunately that means selecting a menu and hiring a someone that can cook, too.
That’s where Darlene comes in! She just graduated from culinary school and recently moved back to her hometown.
The diner she worked at before school, Al’s, closed down while she was away. Something about a car crashing through the front window and Al not being able to pay for the damages. And while she wasn’t exactly banking on Al’s for employment she was planning to stay there for a while (she’ll never admit it but she was hoping to inherit the place when Al retired, instead of opening her own place)
Then suddenly, the perfect opportunity is dropped in her lap! The pay is great and her employer is really chill. Layla wants nothing to do with the kitchen so it’s almost like Darlene’s running her own place. It’s a start, anyway.
Lobo + Co relationship hcs!!! Not explicitly nsfw but under a cut anyway. For politeness reasons :]
- Lobo/Jonas are fwbs but Jonas is in love with Lobo on the low (its not in the low its eating him alive in fact)
- Billy/Lobo are actual casual fwbs. “oh so you just want some coochie? That’s cool I just want the dick, that’s my evil twin and shit! After that we dapping up” (One Hit Wonder by Se’Kret)
- Billy/Layla are fuck buddies but Billy lowk has a crush on Layla, who’s aromantic. Its way more on the low than Jonas’s situationship but Billy is torturing herself by letting layla hit
- Jonas/Billy are casual but frequent. that bond over their forever unrequited gay pinings
- Lobo/Layla are both tops…..neither of them is ever willing to give it up for the other so it doesn’t go anywhere🤷
- Jonas/Layla are infrequent but they have fun ;)
- here’s where it gets interesting: Lobo & Darlene are in an open relationship. Darlene is asexual and Lobo has a really high drive, so she doesn’t mind him going out and finding his fun elsewhere
- That creates a weird kind of tension between Jonas and Darlene. They both want Lobo exclusively but know that that’s not how he works; they only know each other through what they can’t give to Lobo. If they ever got over that, though, I think they’d get along pretty well
- Layla/Darlene ace/aro solidarity. I don’t necessarily think they’d get along but the mutual respect is def there. I was talking to an irl about this and he said “not even in an opposites attract way?” And sadly i think no, not even. I think they’re both a little too judgy of each other’s lifestyles
- BILLY ON THE OTHER HAND…….Darlene is attracted to Billy in a way she can’t face yet (bisexuality + polyamory)
- Layla is straight chillin she’s the only one that does not gaf
And now you know it: jobillobolaylene . my nightmare ship
Lobo + Co General headcanons! I am So Attached to the background characters in the Lobo comics ugh
Layla and Billy and Jonas are all good friends. Lobo would be their fourth but he refuses to admit he has friends. He’s kind of a friend of a friend (Jonas) to Layla but she tolerates him. Billy likes Lobo, generally, but I don’t think they’re super close.
And yes, these are the kind of friends that all sleep with each other. That’ll have it’s own post🤭
Lobo’s bike always looks different because he’s always changing out the parts. He’s his own mechanic generally and with the amount of stress he puts the Hawg in it breaks down frequently. He likes to try out experimental engines and shit so sometimes it’ll just straight up explode
Everyone hates the Hawg btw. It’s loud, stinky (runs on unleaded so it would smell like a regular motorcycle times one billion), predictably unpredictable, and, again, just blows up from time to time. Jonas is the only one to have personally witnessed this happen
Darlene’s dream is to go to culinary school. Forever the waitress never the cook💔 She’s kind of given up on it to take care of Al and the diner, since Al basically took her in as a scared freshly 18 year old after her family died (the big kitchen disaster ofc). The diner would fall apart without her and she knows it
Jonas did indeed keep Beppo the monkey. That’s his best fucking friend (besides Billy). And they basically eat the same food😭 fruit & veggies & insects. They’ll be sitting on the couch together watching (“watching”) tv & munching on an industrial size bag of crickets
Speaking of, Jonas is a sucker for trashy tv. He was ALL OVER the maim game when it was airing (and especially when Lobo was competing. He taped that one)
Billy’s knuckleshox (surgically implanted taser brass knucks) have retractable spikes. They’re kind of like needle points, so the electricity can really get to her opponent.
Layla is an independent bounty hunter. When all the Bunsen shit went down she was like “mhm thats why i hate agencies.” And whenever someone complains about Quarantino she’s like “i have a suggestion☝️”
Jonas is surprisingly good with numbers. No I don’t have a basis for this fuck you
Billy is Lobo's spa buddy. @cuddlebuggg pointed out once that Lobo is always getting himself pampered between jobs & whenever their schedules line up they go together. The gossip sesh while they get their nails done is DIABOLICAL
Slow mover with high stamina. It takes a looooong time for him to climax but he ain’t no quitter. And he’s very attentive to his partners
He likes to get roughed around—it takes a lot to actually hurt him so most of his partners can get as intense as they please. He also likes being marked but most people simply can’t scratch/bite/bruise him. Skin too thick constitution stat too high
Rather gentle with his partners. He’s hesitant to hurt them back, unless he knows they can really handle his strength/size
Speaking of size……he isn’t crazy big (proportionally) but it is . Ummm wide. It’ll give you a goooooood stretch🥴
Subby vers. He’ll do whatever because his pleasure is mostly derived from his partner’s but he does prefer to bottom. And he’s shy about voicing his preferences
His ears are SO SENSITIVE. He’d start blushing just from you whispering to him. Touching his ears gets him going so fast (for him anyway). Tug on his earring a little in bed and he’ll black out
His tail is also sensitive, but 95% of the time if you touch it he’ll just clam up, too embarrassed to actually do anything anymore. He will think about it every time he jacks off though
Loves to set the mood. He’s kind of awkward but he always makes an effort for lots of foreplay. Unless his partner is crazy about them (Lobo) he’s not big into quickies
He LOVES kisses. He’s kind of bashful about it because his horns can make it difficult but he loves to kiss and be kissed. He’s not exactly romantic but he wants to be
If you grab him by the tusks he’ll do whatever you ask. Turn his head toward you with em and look him in the eye he’s like a deer in headlights. Built in man-handles
They also make it difficult for him to give head. He’s always worried about scratching/scraping his partner’s thighs and won’t do it unless they really beg. And even then he’s hesitant
In exchange, though, Jonas will always give you his fingers. His hands are as big as the rest of him. And he’s good with them. It can be a little rough at first because of the texture of his skin but i promise he’ll ease you into it
Performs best under close direction. He likes to be told what’s good and how he’s doing (please please praise him he’ll never admit how much he likes it but it’s obvious what it does to him)
Ummmmmm. Edging. Yea….. He’s already slow to open up about his preferences/kinks and he takes so long to come he doesn’t feel like anyone would wanna take so long with him. BUT. If he ever did find someone willing to explore that? Oh god he’d get so squirmy and breathy and and and. He’d be such a good boy for you
Aftercare is very important to him! Since sex is such a time-consuming endeavor. Post-fuck bathtime is a must. If he topped you’re getting carefully washed and tended to and if he bottomed he won’t ask you to join him but he would be very happy if you did. Both of you are getting a little snackie afterwards as well
