The World We Live In (a CoTL/Woolhaven AU) Character Sketches — Rakshasa's
CW: suggestive content at the relationship part :)
"The World We Live In" by Ponkanpop:
In TWWLI, the following characters remain immortal :>
Lambert, Narinder & Goat :> (for obvi reasons)
All other bishops: Kallamar, Leshy, Heket & Shamura
Just a longer life span than the avg. mortal/follower:
Yngya & Marchosias :>
There's the main timeline of TWWLI:
Focuses on Yngya X Marchosias
They have 3 kids (triplets): Snowdrop (ewe), Rosemary (ewe) & Aspen (Wolf)
Then we have sub stories :>
Silk Cradle Academy: Focuses on Snowdrop
Rakshasa's: Focuses on Rosemary
Stonemallow Peak: Focuses on Aspen
For this bit, I'm honestly hyper focused on Rosemary's arc at Rakshasa's HAHAHAAH
So have fun looking at these goofy goobers of mine :>
Rosemary (Rose), a fresh grad out of culinary arts, started her first day at a humble family bistro "Rakshasa's". She starts out timid, trying to find a place where she belongs :") Each chapter proves that she's home with the brigade.
Yes.... This is a Kitchen themed sub story :>
Inspired by Gordon Ramsey's shows (Hell's kitchen & Kitchen Nightmare)
Literally did my best to study how a damn service works HAHAHAHA
Old Man Rakshasa (the mantis shrimp) is the owner :>
I have a bonus chapter called "Death's Kitchen" where Narinder is the judge HAHAHAHAAH
Y'all are gonna read a lot of YES, CHEF! BEHIND. HOT. CORNER. HEARD! in this sub story!
Brie:
Prep Lead
Yes, named after cheese.
Cuteness aggression towards Rose since Chapter 1 :>
The Goat His name is Javi now :> Short for Javier.
Works as a barista / Beverage lead at the Cafe station at Rakshasa's to hide from cult duties.
That's really it. He's hiding from Lambert :>
Oh, and he's also Rose's uncle figure :) (all with divinity are technically aunts and uncles of Yngya & Marchosias's triplets so... yeah. That includes Uncle Lambert & Uncle Narinder)
The Front of the House (FOH) trio! (well... technically one of them is. It's just that the Cafe station is found within the dining area, not inside the kitchen!
From Left to Right: Javi 👀, Riv (River) and Vince (Vincent)
Riv:
Handles desserts (Gelato, Apple pie ala mode, Banana split sundaes)
Jackalope
Vince:
The charismatic front of the house~
He's an Ibex :>
Maitre D'
Has beef with one of the sous chef, Matthew
A professional when it comes to de-escalation.
Great professional smile :>
"Welcome to Rakshasa's" :>
Ooohhh~ I absolutely adore these two :> Yes, Riv & Vince have a very... intimate relationship with each other.
Here's a summary:
Met before Rakshasa's.
Riv got dumped on her birthday. Vince quit former job. Both were lonely at the pub.
"Less talking~ More birthday celebrating at your place" - Riv, probably. The night took them away.
Never saw each other again ...
Vince got hired at Rakshasa's as the Maitre D'
a few weeks later, Riv walked inside Rakshasa's. Got hired (Cafe station)
"Welcome to Rakshasa's—" Vince 👀 Riv 👀 "Pact: Never mention that night."
months have passed - It's Riv's birthday again, this time as an employee at Rakhsasa's
"There's.. cake at my place. Thought I'd save you some this time." - Vince, probs. "Bet." - Riv, perhaps.
(See attached image for reference):
She's fascinated by Vince's deep amber eyes. Her paw gently cupped the side of his face. She leaned closer and asked:
"...May I?" Her ears tucked behind her.
Vince leaned forward and closed the gap between them 🥹🫶
In between breaths, Vince whispered "Happy Birthday, Riv..."
TO BE CONTINUED!
WELCOME TO RIV'S AO3: VINCE X MATT:
HAHAAHAH OKAY SO - This is Matt (Matthew), a hedgehog, one of the sous chefs at Rakshasa's :>
In Riv's POV - She did her best to move on after that one night with Vince. You know, they were just two lonely people keeping each other company that night, nothing serious.
For the next few months, she would always see Vince and Matt bicker :)) Always starting with:
Vince: Matthew...
Matt: Vincent...
(probably arguing about another customer's ridiculous request)
One of the sous chef, Tala, goes:
"If you two keep bickering like that, people are going to think you're a married couple.""
Riv's POV: 👀😳 "Maybe... he swings both ways?"
So, as part of moving on, she decided to just write fanfics about them HAHAAHAHAHAH just for shits and giggles.
Trivia:
At one point this almost became canon in my AU HAHAHA
Instead, I'll just remember these first drafts of relationships in my heart by Riv's AO3 shipping HAAHAHAHAH
The Lamb (Agnus) and the Goat (Noctum) belong to @unicornpot
I just really love there art style and how they draw there goat and lamb. The lamb and goats story and there design are awesome. I just head to draw them.
[ID: A digital illustration consisting of yellow and purple hues. It is a scene redraw of the Megamind movie with Metro-man saying, "And I love you random citizen!" Instead a fan design of The Goat from Cult of the lamb stands in Metro-man's place, holding their purple crown as a microphone and saying, "And I love you random follower!" End ID.]
Some of my Cult Of The Lamb Human AU's desings!!! (and small headcanons!)
On my AU the goat is 23-years-old and a theistic satanist; and they're agender and pansexual.
The Lamb is 24-years-old and an atheist; the Lamb is also agender and pansexual.
Narinder is 24-years-old and a atheist satanist; he's a cis male and gay.
Shamura is 30-years-old and is a pagan; they are AMAB because the game on portuguese (my native language) they go by "he/him", but that's just my headcanon, and they are pansexual aswell.
Leshy is 19-years-old, Heket is 21-years-old and Kallamar is 28-years-old, I didn't decide anything else yet, will draw/post them later.
