B I O G R A P H Y

From a young age, Ethan had to learn how to fly under the radar. His mother always had her hands full with three children, since her husband was mostly away serving the country. Speaking out meant a ticket to the corner for time out, when Abbey home. The Matsui children had to learn how to entertain themselves since they hardly had money to pay for their home and food, much less toys. At seven years of age, Ethan began to partake in some of Liam’s schemes. Most of the time he would act as a distraction while his brother stole food from stands at farmer’s markets to feed their family, but before long, he started learning some sleight of hand to assist his brother in his efforts. At twelve years old, Ethan’s father, George, finally returned home, permanently. He had taken a shot to the spine and became paralyzed from the waist down. While George was still Ethan’s father, he had changed. He was no longer happy-go-lucky, and spent most of his days sitting around at home.

When Ethan was fourteen, his mother got a job opportunity in Portland, Oregon. So, the whole family packed up their lives and moved to the other side of the country. The adjustment was difficult for the teenage, at first, but this new job paid his mom a better salary so they were living in a nicer home and not worrying about bills as much. The first people he met in his new high school became lifelong friends. Stella and Logan became a big part of his life and the three of them became inseparable. Which made up for the fact that Ethan had to leave behind his friends in New York. Almost everyone in the office at their high school knew the three of their names since they were always getting into trouble whether it be spiking the punch at school dances or switching people’s clothes in the gym lockers. But when it came time to graduate he wasn’t exactly sure what he wanted to do with his life so he blindly followed Stella and Logan along to Skybourne and was accepted there. 

Although Ethan’s power could rank him among heroes, he only shows off the true capabilities of his abilities to friends. Ethan has never had any desire to be a hero. Instead, he preferred to keep it on the down low so he’s not the immediate suspect when he used his abilities to get up to shenanigans. Ever since being at Skybourne though, he’s been the announcer for the Save the Citizen tournaments. Not only is it a blast to be able to commentate on all the triumph and disaster but he can also use the proximity to occasionally help stack the contest in favor of Stella and Logan when they’re up. He is also well known around campus for coordinating the Fantasy Super Hero League. Like fantasy football, people pick heroes and hero-support for their teams and based on how they perform in the field; villains defeated and lives saved, people earn points. While it is advertised as being a gambling free game, certain individuals do place bets with Ethan under the table. 

F A M I L Y

George Matsui (father - alive) Abbey Matsui (mother - alive) Liam Matsui (older brother - alive) Hayley Matsui (younger sister - alive)

C O N N E C T I O N S

Logan Reynolds: The two of them have been attached at the hip since they met in high school...until Logan got a girlfriend. For a year or so, Logan completely changed and never went to parties. Ethan would get mad at his friend not just because he missed his friend but because he felt a pang of...jealousy? He didn’t like that his friend didn’t want to spend time with him.

Stella Walsh: Stella wasn’t someone Ethan expected to become so close to. Logan introduced her to the friend group and Ethan went along with it at first, but some time freshman year of college when Logan and his girlfriend were together, the two of them truly bonded. Ethan has come to view her as someone he can talk to about anything and everything.

[Twins character changes over the years]

Matsui Twins | Original Characters 02-02-2023

random #oc rambling, but I somehow got reminded of a funny shift I created in a trio of mine

It's about the Matsui twins I got (Evan and Ethan) who are from a family that passes down a certain demon from one vessel to the other.

and like, that demon was supposed to be very cruel and bad to the twin that actually act as the vessel (I might ramble about that whole thing later). Like, the demon's doing his worst so his host can just give the fuck up and he can take full possession of him (pretty sure an idea I had about it was Evan kinda needed to die in some way for it to work best). and one way to push Evan as much as possible was to hurt Ethan because he knows he's the most precious thing Evan has.

But the way I evolved these characters, now the demon is still a pain in Evan's ass and still isn't a good person, but as the twin grows up, he kinda got attached to them, especially Ethan because he's surprisingly kind to him despite everything.

Like, the demon prolly prefers Ethan to his host, but he still ends up attached to them because they are both so different from all his previous hosts in the family.

He's 100% ready to kill to keep them safe.

Being protective and possessive over

Ethan and wanting to keep him safe

               Kuro 🤝 Evan

Thinking back to how I called the demon Kuro, I just got hit in the face really hard with how brilliant I was at naming my character back when I was 12.

Fun fact, the twin wasn't called Evan & Ethan, but rather Tatsuya and Tenbatsu (I'd need to find back what the meaning behind these two names are, am sure if I see it it will all make sense). But at some point, I changed a lot of my ocs names and updated stuff (a lot of them were very vaguely Japanese (from my very weeb days where most had Japanese names because I decided so).

I'm debating finding a better name for Kuro (am pretty sure it was supposed to be a placeholder name that stayed for a decade). The name could still be Japanese tho, since the twins are still of Japanese descent

Morgan simply rambling about their ocs part 1

So I got four likes on my post about rambling about my ocs, so that’s enough for me to do it anyway. I waited to talk about how they came to be and how they evolved (since many are from easily 8-9 years ago). They won't be in chronological order, mainly because it been too long for me to really remember that, but also all the original thing that could have helped me figure that out are now gone or have new date of creation. I can remember maybe who the 3-4 first are, but that's as far as my memories go.

I'd love to go over what design they went through, but tumblr wouldn't allow me to do that, so I suppose I'll do that on a later time.

They were, for a large part of them, meant to be used for rp (boy do I miss doing those), a lot of the other just growing around them as side characters and world building. So I'll most likely go over those that were originally meant to be used in rp, since the other characters came much more later and have obviously less development.

Anyway, hope y'all love this long post about my ocs.

Jack Auchter (previously Jack Miller)

First original character I ever made (meaning: not a naruto/my candy love oc), it was actually my brother’s character in a way, as I created him out of his suggestion. It is to say, he has change a lot.

He started as a lone ex-secret-military guy, trying to go back to a normal life despite his violent past, with some hint of losing someone before. I had created him as being seen like an horrible monster by the villager living close to were their base was and him just ending up quitting at some point. That whole secret military was a rather vague idea (I still have to work on that even).

Then he grew into becoming a more friendly characters. Really kind to people, ready and wanting to help anyone. This is where I implanted the whole reason why he got out of it, basically after losing his two best friends, blaming himself for what happened.

Now he is still a pretty gentle young man, wanting to help people the best he can, keeping a lot to himself as he tries his best to just live a normal life, as normal as it can be with all the nightmares and old habit. He still blames himself for not being able to save Yannis and Matthew, (where I also decided to work more on these two)

I cannot remember all the little changes, but he slowly grew throughout the years and it funny to look back at how much more depth he has now.

Evan & Ethan Matsui (+kuro) (previously Tatsuya and Tenbatsu)

I am 90% sure they are the “second” characters I created. They were inspired from two thing: twins oc a friend I had at the time had + Fruit Basket, or more specifically the cat zodiac part (for those who know).

Surprisingly they didn't changed too much, the demon is the one who did the most in a way. They were twins from a family stuck with a demon, needing a vessel to keep him “harmless”. The tradition was a weird “the purest and sweetest heart must be used, to 'appease' the demon”, and Ethan was just that. Evan begged to take his place because he sneak to see what the old vessel was like and saw how it would destroy the joyful person his brother was. So Evan ends up being the one stuck with Kuro, Ethan never leaving his side and wanting to protect him from the demon. Evan grows to be a rather solitary man, trying to stay away from people as much as people, only letting his brother close, despite scared that the demon would us him to get to Evan. Ethan grew to be a loving young man, doing his best to protect his brother.

They didn't changed too much, I most likely made them to be even closer, looking after each other and pretty dependant from on another. I added a little more depth and story around the curse, making it more logical, but also making the reason behind they close bond better.

Like I said, Kuro is the one who changed the most. At first he was an entity simply wanting to kill and be violent, trying to harm Ethan just so he could make an opportunity to take over Evan's body. Then he became this demon who's annoying Evan 24/7, trying to steal his body, but less by using Ethan as a mean to do so.

Now Kuro has grown to be this demon who once wanted to us Ethan as a pawn to his taking over the body, but ended up growing found of the young man (because of him also showing kindness to him despite it all). He's as much of an ass to Evan, having for objective to take over the body at some point, but not as much. The two even sometime agree to switch if its about a difficult situation Evan couldn't deal with.

So it pretty much went from the twins being against the demon, to the three of them having a weird relationship, not quit enemies, but not quit 100% trusting either.

Haru Sasaki

Of course, I just HAD to create a bad boy at the time. Of course I needed one. Haru's characters as changed a lot, but to be have more detail added to him and not to only be a bad boy.

He started as a teenager who became such a violent kid because that's what people expected from him. He hated and was hated by his mother because she had him at 17 (and kinda fucked over her life plan). And he was a loving brother. That was pretty much it, a kid missing his dad, who was violent and got into fight all the time, with no friend and love his sister a lot.

Then I decided to had in his hobby cooking, making him a great cook. That was a genius idea I had, because it became an important part of his characters and a goal I could give him (good job me).

Then I decided to had two other little delinquent to follow him around. At first I wrote it more as him letting them stick around out of just not being able to get ride of them, to changing it to him slowly warming up to them and taking care of them too since they aren't bad kid. Lets not forget him working in a flower shop with a sweet lady seeing the good in him.

Now this is what Haru is: someone who grew up with the expectation to become someone violent who cause trouble (he does, a lot), but who is actually really kind and a very protective brother, who aspire to be a cook on day with the encouragement of his sister, with two idiots for friend (but who just need some love too).

(note: also, somewhere towards the start of my rp with him, I made cherry his favourite aliment. Dunno how it became like this, I was often using this as his snack and it just... somehow became his whole thing. Cherries.)

Akainu Fuyuda & Kyosuke Hamada

They were probably created in similar times, as they pretty much go hand in hands.

Kyosuke started as a test subject who was there since he was born because of his telekinesis power, and Akainu was one of the nurse helping take care of him. I had made Kyosuke to be much more prone to have his sanity snap and want to kill people, where Akainu was a rather sadistic man with little to no regards to his test subjects. Their relationship was based on a mixed of interested for his art and power (for Akainu) and hate mixed with some want to absolutely annoy the shit out of the scientist (for Kyosuke).

Akainu is the one who changed to most, going from the sadistic and uncaring scientist for one who take care of his test subject as best as he can, who can't get along with his colleague (other than two) and who is overworked (an absolute workaholic also). Kyosuke is less of a wild one as he was, still an annoying little shit, but less in the “sanity goes bye bye” kind of way. He's tired of being tested one, but a routine as settle between them and Akainu tries to make it less bad. He will sometime snap if pushed pass his limits or when thing just get way too overwhelming, as a defensive mechanism.

Their relationship became less of a “I want to study/kill you” and more of a “We are both tired of this, but at this point it too late to change anything, but i'll still annoy the shit outta you”. Honestly the only consistent theme as been Kyosuke's dad hatred towards him for the loss of his wife.

Not gonna lie, I wonder how it would feel to write Akainu as a more sadistic man again, I realised that only after taking a look back at older stuck I wrote with him,

Alexy Leblanc

Oh boy this one was me going ape shit in the sadistic department, like I was really hard and angsty one some characters, but Alex? You'd believe I hated him or something (despite me very much loving this character). (tw: mention of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, skip to next character if this is too sensible for you)

So Alexy started as having the absolute worst life. Being physically beaten by his dad and his classmate, also being sexually abused by those two group. Like, the world was against him and somehow the teacher never found out or just didn't gave a single shit about it.

For a long time I made his treatment just a little bit worst, then I calmed it down a bit for something “more possible” where he was just bullied at school, yet had the same treatment from his dad.

Then, about a year ago, I decided “boy would it be nice to start making him feel nice” and despite his story basically being the same, he ain't stuck in this endless teenager cycle and I'm finally making him grow and slowly heal from his trauma with the help of a friend.

The story around him is the one who changed the most, as his character always stayed a rather quiet young man who was scared to get close to people In fear of getting punish for it. The change in that character is more of adding growing to him rather than actual change in the core of who he is.

Am still unsure where all this dark part came from, I suppose I needed that one character, as people around me also had character with rather deep, hard and dark stories. Am really happy to finally work on making him slowly heal from that, I feel like now this is something I would find more interesting to work on, rather than nonstop angst and abuse.

Kadir & Tamir (previously Kira & Ryu)

Tamir was the first one I created, he was actually a random character I drew in class before also created Kadir as someone who wanted to kill him. Their dynamic was inspired from what I saw of Izaya and Shizuo relationship (note “I saw” since I haven't read or watched drrr yet). It was pretty much Kadir hating Tamir and wanting to capture him as a bounty hunter, where Tamir was a pickpocket who would always play around with him.

Tamir started as a sneaky pickpocket who didn't care about anything but having fun and annoying people. Kadir started as a bounty hunter with great strength and anger issue. That was pretty much what they were and their relationship was very much just one-sided hate while the other is playing with the other anger.

Tamir stayed rather similar, despite his background story slowly building up more and see what his power actually are. He's still the demon who likes to joke around, steal stuff and cause problem. I'd say these part just became a stronger part of him, since he was just a random doodle at first he was rather plain. Kadir is still easy to anger, but it way less of being angry all the time. He's less always on Kadir trail as he was before and does so mainly when they meet or when he feel like he could finally win over him. His background as also evolve a lot.

They have a sort of frenemy kind of relationship, where they always fight together but don't actually hate each other (or at least not like it was at the beginning of their relationship).

Micha & Cyrus (previously ??? & Kiyoshi)

Micha is basically what happen when you give up another character and use their trope to create another one. I had a fallen angel before, but never actually did anything with it, so I created Micha.

He changed a lot over the time. He was first rather plain, being the owner of a bar somewhere (don't ask where, am as uninformed as you on that). Polite to client, yet distant about who he was with a vague past about how he became a fallen angel and why he didn't like heaven (basically being to what an angel is supposed to look like and being pushed aside a lot, he decided to do his best to get kicked out but not kill).

Then I gave him more depth, also throwing at him Cyrus, an amnesic angel who didn't remember who he was. Micha was then a little more friendlier, still not getting close to people, but still ready to help the people in the village he settled in. Cyrus was created as a very innocent and naïve characters (due to his amnesia), down to his design being rather innocent and cinnabun-ish.

Then in more recent time, Micha personality is pretty similar, but I also changed a little bit what his reason to be a fallen angel is (will be touch a little more if I finish my animatic :'D). He's more invested in the little village he settled in, rather found of the humans there. Cyrus changed a little more. He is a little less of a pure baby who's extra naïve and innocent. He's still rather naïve by time and clueless on some thing, but less child-like (even his design became a little more mature as an attempt to clash a little with his personality). Still a very kind and loving person tho.

Their relationship pretty much stayed the same, as Micha is still taking care of him and protecting him of potential danger as he did in the past.

Frederick Wilson (previously Frédéric ???)

Fred is also a rather old character of mine, yet his characters is somewhere between changed and not changed?!?

He started as a playboy who don't give a shit about people feeling, sleeping around a lot and legit every night in bars. That was the biggest part of his personality.

He is still playboy, love to party, drink and sleep around, but even if he still don't look for long term relationship, his less on the cruel “Am not making it clear, but it also your fault for getting your hopes up” and more on the “Yeah, no, am just looking for sex”. At least he's more honest on that point, still not a a good boyfriend, as he never take it seriously, only goes along for some times. Part of his motivation is not to follow in the step of his father and brother, who are men that don't take responsibilities and pretty much don't seem to care about people's feelings.

It shows better when I write him with his best friend, he's not as much of an ass as he seems to be.

Stanley Murphy (previously Shinji ???)

I'd like to say Stanley didn't change much, but it not exactly true? He was at first a young man who works as a waiter to show you can live just as well without high studies (I wasn't too much into the idea of “you much go to university to have a good life”). A good working young man, helping people when he can a living happily with his cat.

Somewhere along the line I made Frederick and Stanley to be best friends, don't ask how or why it came to be despite being rather different from one another, it just did and now I cannot separate them.

Stanley slowly grew to be the son of a rather wealthy family who had too much being pushed on him and part of what he decided was partly to rebel against his family, but also because he didn't actually had any goal in life. He's still a very hard working person, really loving of those who get to be close to him and who tries to live a good life. He's probably even one of the reason why Frederick didn't became an absolute garbage man.

Samuel Roy

Samuel is a cold hearted hitman, who became one rather young too. I feel like most of his characters just became the same, but push the button for more.

Insomniac, caffeinomane, misanthrope, don't really care who the target is (unless it's a kid, see later for Mike), live a lot day by day and knows he will most likely not die a painless and happy death.

That's the whole essence of Samuel, most of these were there when I first created him, I simply pushed some of those to an extreme. I still need to better his background story and how he ended up being a hitman.

I also added a second person who managed to get close to him, Michael Drake, who's a good friend of him and also his doctor when he ends up hurt out of what he can deal with. They lost touch when Samuel suddenly disappear and it took a couple of years before he finally learned what his job was, but ended up not telling anyone else and acting as if not knowing most of the time, under the promise that Samuel would never do anything to a child.

Samuel is a character I played a lot, but also one I really enjoy playing for some reason (There are a couple of character I really like playing).

======================

Damn I did only 14 characters, yet I have so many more (but a couple o those “didn't changed”, or at least not enough for really doing a part). I feel like this rambling didn't showed much how they changed, but I know they did (but mostly because am the god who created them).

Welp, hope y'all did understood my rambling, don't be shy and ask me anything if you are curious for more, my inbox is open for that.

Inseparable

Characters: Ethan & Evan Matsui

Ethan and Evan are staying the night at some relative’s house for a family event. Due to their closeness and the feeling of safety around each other, they share a bed, to the incomprehension of their family.

---------------------------------------------------------

The two brothers were finishing to prepare themselves to go to bed. Evan was the first to go to bed, somehow waiting for his twin to come and join him in it. Sure, in the room there were two beds, but they had the habit of sleeping in the same bed, so the other one was mostly useless.

And just as he though, Ethan came to his bed, laying on his side and facing him, offering him a smile.

They were used to sleeping in the same bed since Ethan never liked to leave his brother to the mercy of the demon. At more than one occasion he was reprimanded for not staying in his own room, but at some point, the adults had just given up on trying to make him do so.

Even once they were at their uncle place, with a room for each of them, they were nearly always finishing both in one of the two rooms. Ethan knew that the demon was making his brother sleep a real nightmare and he, at some point, figured out that sleeping with him was actually helping him be more appeased in his sleep. That's how he manages to save his brother from a night with really bad sleep or from straight-up insomnia.

That was probably something that could be explained by this link between the two twins. Kuro was giving up the idea of tormenting him when Ethan was blocking everything seemingly without knowing it. Why not going directly for Ethan then? The two brothers had no idea. In reality, Kuro somewhat took a liking for the twin of his vessel, he was nice towards even him, which no one in the Matsui family had ever done. For that reason, it wasn't to his own pleasure that he would go after Ethan.

It only after half an hours of talking in the dark of the night that the two brothers finally fell asleep. Ethan was wrapped in Evan's arms as if it was simply natural for him. They were both looking peacefully asleep, as if nothing would be able to disturb their sleep.

Only a couple of minutes went by before the door open, letting a ray of light into the darkness of the bedroom. That way, one of their aunt was proving to her cousin that the twins were together in the same bed. Clearly, many were not understanding why they were this attached to one another, especially on Ethan side.

“They are already 17, why are they sleeping in the same bed? Especially since he's the demon's seal” asked the cousin, not really familiar with the two of them.

"No one gets it" admitted the aunt with a sigh, "anyway, it's not as if they were doing something bad either" she pointed out.

“Maybe he feels liable that he took his place?”

“Who knows? We never really understood the twins”

It wasn't really the reason, if they were to ask Ethan, he would simply respond something along the line of "He's my brother right? Why should I abandon him?". Also, since Evan was an outcast of the family because of the demon, Ethan only wanted to take care of him even more.

Few seem to understand or to even try to understand it. Both of them never really cared about it. After all, they were doing nothing bad, only being close to one another.

[skybournesecrets]

OK but Ethan Matsui for the win!

That young man sure does know how to play a crowd, doesn’t he? But don’t worry darling, I won’t tell them about why you truly do win.

[logan-reynolds]

Halloween was just one of many occasions Logan missed out on his normal shenanigans with his friends because of his now ex-girlfriend, Tanya. She didn’t like drinking and partying, and she highly encouraged Logan to follow her example. Halloween was one of the bigger bashes of the year at Skybourne, making his absence a significant milestone in their relationship.

Stella, Ethan, and Perry planned a group s’mores costume for the party (understandably) without Logan. Which was fine, because they were going Trick-Or-Treating with Tanya’s friends as Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler from Stranger Things.
