I took longer with this than I was supposed to, but Dusk is here! He belongs to @loosesodamarble (Dusk really has that gorgeous Faust hair)
The Hanged Man. The hanged man understands that his position is a sacrifice that he needed to make in order to progress forward - whether as repentance for past wrongdoings, or a calculated step backward to recalculate his path onward. This time he spends here will not be wasted, he does this as part of his progression forward. Sometimes you need to see the world from a different perspective to move forward

for the recent oc ask 💢📿🐾 for any of your ocs! also 🍻 for joselle 🫡
Unni~! Hello hello~! Thank you for the questions!
And thanks for waiting for the answers. Took me a while to think on them and then coherently put my thoughts together for this post!

Dusk Faust
💢 - Who have they never forgiven and never will?
Yoshisumi Kogane (another oc of mine).
He's an emissary from Hino and has unintentionally done each of Dusk's siblings dirty.
First, Yoshisumi dueled Dawn very soon after he arrived in Clover. It was mostly a spar for Hino and Clover to display the strength of their top tier combatants. However, Yoshisumi was far superior in the fight which caused Dawn to be discouraged for a time. While unintentional, Yoshisumi caused Dawn's lack of confidence and began Dusk's grudge against him.
Later on, Yoshisumi met Sterling and was instantly attracted to her. So of course he attempted to court her. Sterling was made deeply uncomfortable by his advances, earning Dusk's ire in another way.
Yoshisumi became acquainted with Sirius through another visitor from Hino, Kohaku. While Kohaku likes Sirius's usual pacifistic nature and mild manners, Yoshisumi believes Sirius to be weak-willed and destined to be used/trampled upon by stronger individuals. Another strike against Yoshisumi.
For Vivian, Yoshisumi did what most people do when they meet her: call her creepy and lifeless. It's not much but it's another nail in his coffin.
Finally, and probably the worst sin of all, Yoshisumi heard about Merel's Nightmare Magic and began thinking of it as a pragmatic tool for torturing information out of people. Even if they don't break and confess directly, the contents of their nightmares could be gleaned for information. Merel was horrified by the implication and was in hysterics about it.
After so many incidents, Dusk has sworn off forgiving Yoshisumi for what he's done.
📿 - What superstition or ritual do they cling to?
Dusk believes that his reflection is it's own entity and that if he looks his reflection in the eyes too long, his soul will switch places with his reflections and he'll be forced to live in some warped mirror world. So he avoids looking at his own reflection for prolonged periods of time. No more than 10 seconds in one go. It makes getting ready for a date takes a while but to save his soul...
Also Gauche takes no responsibility for Dusk gaining that paranoia.
🐾 - Do animals like them instinctively?
Dusk is like a classical Disney princess with animals, if he's brave enough to approach them, they tend to take to him quite well. He's a gentle and soft-spoken young man. He's also wise enough to act in ways that would indicate to wildlife that he's not a threat: moving slow, letting them approach him, showing vulnerability. Nothing about him could scare away animals.
Except maybe for the occasional devilish aura he gives off when using magic... But otherwise, he and animals get along great!
.....
Josele Canty
🍻 - What kind of drunk are they?
When Josele is very drunk, not just one or two drinks but a whole night of downing alcohol, she's more shy. She gets self-conscious and easily embarrassed when she's drunk. Not to the level of Grey but it would be noticeable in Josele. She's red in the face from alcohol and embarrassment, she's stuttering her words as much as she's slurring them, and she can barely bring herself to even hold hands with others when she's sloppy drunk.
It's possibly her body knowing she's making herself vulnerable with the alcohol and thus preparing her to be as aware as she can be. And, for whatever reason, it ends up with her being on the jittery side until she sobers up.

“Are you sure you all will be fine at home?”
Josele stood at the threshold of House Faust’s front entrance. She wore a floor-length ball gown with a cobalt blue bodice and a skirt that started the same hue and faded to a baby blue. A large bow at the waist and fabric flowers decorated the gown, and glitter made Josele shine like a star.
Despite being ready to attend that evening’s event, Josele hesitated to leave her home and her children who wouldn’t be in attendance.
Standing in the doorframe was Josele’s eldest daughter, Sterling. The redhead giggled and held her mother’s shoulders.
“Don’t worry about us, Mother,” Sterling answered. “Us kids drew lots so it’s not like we can be bitter about not going.”
“You’re sure?” Josele pressed, her brows furrowed.
“Very sure.” Sterling leaned back and shouted into the house. “Now don’t keep Father, Uncle, and the others waiting, Mother!” She turned Josele around and pushed her towards the cluster of family waiting for the lady of the house.
“Right then! Okay!” Josele yelped as awkwardly stumbled forward from her daughter’s push. She glanced over her shoulder and smiled. “Take care of each other while we’re away.”
“Like we’d do anything else,” answered Sterling with a lazy wave of her hand.
With that, Sterling closed the door to House Faust and Josele went to where the rest of her family was waiting in the shade of trees. Nacht and Morgen greeted her with their usual loving smiles, plus a kiss on the hand from Nacht and a peck on the cheek from Morgen. Dawn excitedly bounced on the balls of her feet. Dusk fidgeted with the coat of his suit but there was still a small, eager grin on his face. Albert and Varg were whispering to each other, something about who will woo their beloved better. Valerian popped his knuckles, as if he was preparing for a fight and not a party. And Vivian stared at her mother, quiet and unreadable in her expression.
“Sorry for the hold up, everyone.”
“It’s perfectly alright, dear,” Morgen assured her. “Besides, we’re guaranteed to make it on time. Right?” He looked to Nacht, Dusk, and Varg.
Nacht sighed, “You’re lucky I like you, otherwise I’d be mad at you for treating me like Finral.”
“Sorry, sorry.” Morgen patted Nacht on the shoulder. “Thank you, the three of you, for helping us travel to the ball.”
“Now what are we waiting for?” Dawn exclaimed, throwing her arms into the air. She threw an arm around Dusk’s shoulders. “Let’s get going!”
With Nacht and Dusk’s Shadow Magic and Varg’s Eclipse Magic, the members of House Faust sank into the shadows before rising from them in front of Clover’s grand. Valerian and Varg quickly dashed away to be the first to enter. Dawn yelled “C’mon!” while she grabbed Dusk and Albert’s wrists to drag them along. And Vivian turned to her parents and uncle.
“It appears that us youths shall be taking the lead.”
“Not that you need us to guide you in,” Josele answered. She took a moment to adjust the ribbon in Vivian’s hair before letting her go. “We’ll see you all inside.”
“Have fun, Vivi,” Nacht said.
Vivian nodded then walked towards the palace entrance.
The three seniors of House Faust took a moment to themselves to make any final touch ups to their outfits. Nacht straightened the cuffs of his dress shirt and adjusted his cravat. Morgen shook down the cloak he wore with his suit. And Josele smoothed out the large ribbon that draped down the side of her gown. Both men offered their arm to the woman they loved, to which Josele decided to take Nacht’s arm. However, she did take a second to give Morgen a kiss and whisper, “You get my first dance though, okay?”
Dusk: (yawning as he comes out of his room) Why is everyone up so early?
Leon: ..... It's ten in the morning.
Dusk: Huh. (thinks for a moment) I guess five hours will do.
Leon: Please tell me you don't normally only sleep five hours a day.
Later that day…
Dawn: (dragging her feet) I've never stayed up so late.
Sunela: It's barely nine o'clock?
Dawn: I should hit the hay soon if I want to be up by four a.m.
Sunela: Why are you up that early?!
.....
Leon is @thoughtfullyrainynightmare's oc.
Sunela is @faewraithsworld's oc.
Josele: You're walking down the street one day and a stranger approaches you, threatening to hurt you unless you give them money. What's your response?
Dawn: Fight.
Albert: Flee.
Dusk: Freeze.
Varg: Fuck.
Josele: ... (turns on communication device) Yami, get ready for me to pummel you next time we spar.
The Bremen Devils are playing with Dawn and Dusk...
Dawn: Buh waaahhh...
Gimodelo: What is this little creature trying to say? Are you trying to communicate?
Dusk: Nnnn! Ahboo!
Walgner: They sound nothing like Master Nacht or Lady Josele.
Plumede: Not even like Sterling and she's only a few years older, right?
Gimodelo: What if... they're speaking another language entirely!
Slotos: On it! (flies off and comes back with various dictionaries)
The devils open and search the books...
Gimodelo, while Dawn cuddles with him: Some of the words sound like ancient Arameic.
Plumede: But this is more on the Babylonian side. (flicks her tail away from Dusk's hand)
Slotos: This is kinda like demon speech. Maybe it's a different dialect?
Wagner: And then they just seem to have various onomatopoetic "words"...
Nacht, walking into the room: What are you all doing?
Walgner: (explains the situation)
Nacht: Who would've thought that baby gibberish would've caused you so much trouble.
Gimodelo: What language is gibberish?
Nacht: It's not a language. It just means "nonsense." Babies can't use words yet so they just make noise to communicate. (picks up the twins) They'll talk eventually, but not now.
Devils: Oooohhhh...
