Wanted to post all the panels with cobra commander in em. Needless to say there was a lot of them this time.

Looks like they’re giving a face to cobra commanders Valkyrie squad with a new character.

gotta say I do love characters who are loyal to a fault and she seems the type. Also making her albino is a good way to make her memorable within the amount of characters that the reader needs to keep track of.

Also let’s be real, cobra commander is in sore need of loyal soldiers. So she’s a welcome addition to the roster.

What If…The Arashikage Clan were Vampires?

Headcanons

Rating: M (for blood mention)

Summary: In the movie Tommy told Snake Eyes that “blood is important to my family (the Arashikage)” I decided to take that a little too literally lol so have some Vampire!AU Arashikage Clan headcanons!

A/N: Merry Christmas @noobsaibots !! Hope you enjoy, oh loveliest 😌✨If anyone would like to see anything else related to this concept then please let me know as I’m a sucker (heh) for vampires lol

When the Sun goddess gave humanity the gift of the Jewel of the Sun as a means to test her people’s character, she also gave them another gift to help aid them in protecting the Jewel. This gift took the form of vampirism. A cosmic joke if ever there was one: give them the power of the sun, but they cannot use it. Give them the power of vampirism so they cannot even bear witness to her as she burns in the sky

Only vampire blood can unlock the mechanism that holds the Jewel of the Sun. Hence why Sen, Tommy, Hard Master and Blind Master have access yet Akiko does not as she is yet to turn

Vampirism is passed down from generation to generation if and when the next in line decides they want to go through with it. There’s no set age or obligation to go through with it whilst you’re young although most members of the clan do choose to as Tommy and Hard Master have

People who want children will have them before they turn as conceiving afterwards is exceptionally difficult. There are very few children in the Arashikage for this reason

Everyone in the clan has the option to turn, hence why they’re so opposed to letting in outsiders. The more outsiders in the clan then the greater chance that word of their them being a clan of the undead might get out

The ritual of turning is very secretive. Only the highest ranking members of the clan and those who studied everything about their own kind’s history and traditions are clued in on exactly how it is performed. These designated elders are also there to help and guide freshly turned vampires so that they can continue in with their undead lives once they’re ready to mix with other vampires and humans again. This is done both to protect the integrity of the clan but also to prevent loss of life as newborn vampires can be a little feral until their initial instinct to drain everything in sight calms down

The transition is painful and can sometimes take days. During this time the person being turned is incredibly vulnerable as they are essentially dying and being re-born again. Loved ones who are already vampires usually stay with a person being turned during this time to offer comfort as any human loved ones run the risk of being hurt

Blood is sourced relatively ethically, or as ethically as blood can be. Usually it comes from enemies of the clan who made the mistake of attacking them but in times of peace it comes from animals. Drinking from a stranger on the street is forbidden and the penalty for doing so is death lest any blood-drained bodies be traced back to the clan

The older they get the less bloodlust they have to satisfy. For example, Sen might only need to drink once or twice per year whereas Tommy needs to drink once a week or so given that he’s only been a vampire for a couple years

Blindmaster is by far the most ancient member of the clan. No one is entirely too sure just how old he is but he’s old enough to not really have any blood lust at all. He’s also one of the few clan members old enough to have mastered his special ability (his increased “sight”). Not all those who turn are given special abilities aside from healing, agility, enhanced senses and strength. These tend to only even begin to develop decades after being turned, even then they take years to hone.

They do have fangs but they only really ever come out when they get a whiff of blood or are about to drink. Their eyes also have an almost reflective quality under certain lighting. They can go outside in the day but only under cloudy conditions

Most of the clan don’t drink directly from someone unless they absolutely have to as it’s deemed improper. It’s not uncommon for someone going to be turned anyways to offer their blood to be partially drained for a loved one or clan’s blood bank before they go through with the turning.

Blood is usually treated, stored and drank as if it was wine

Human clan members can decide if they would like to be turned should they die prematurely of illness or in battle. Some people, such as Sen, want to live a full human life before turning. Sen waited until Kenta, her first grandchild, was born before being turned

Vampires and human members of the clan live in complete harmony with one another. Younger vampires are taught rigorous self control to ensure the safety of their human peers and there has only ever been a handful of blood-related killings or attempted killings in the clan. The penalty for such an action is always automatically death is bloodlust was the prime motivator

The younger vampires tend to try and let their time to feed fall on the night before they know that they’ll need their strength. Newer vampires are a great deal stronger but they tire and require a top up a lot quicker than the older vampires who have a great deal of stamina
