Soooo, tell me if I get it wrong, but grim are like human who dies and reincarnates in a other things ?

If that right what would your main character will look like as a Grim?

No, it's not reincarnation. Grims are dead humans who are just attached to something/someone (their host) that anchors them to the living world, i.e. that keeps them "alive". No reincarnation, once their host also dies or gets destroyed they're gone forever

Now, here's grim!Eiko :]

TW: Nudity (but no detail. She's based on marble greek statues but she's as smooth as a mannequin, no genitalia or anything.)

Thinking about grim Eiko was really fun, but also tricky because the first step in making her a grim is deciding when and how she died. Is this an alternate universe where she died when she was younger, or does she die later down the line when she's already her "default" age? I decided to go with later, because I didn't feel like aging her down. "Base Eiko", to me, is 19, so that's what we're going with. Although some grims, in rare and special circumstances, do keep physically aging, I don't think that'd be the case for Eiko.

So how did she die? Her dying at 19 years old implies she dies during the course of the story, so it's basically just an Eidolon bad ending scenario. I don't want to say Eiko will have died during the final big climax because, although it would make sense, it'd also mean the plot would be resolved by the time she was dead and it wouldn't leave much for Hayato to do aside from. wallowing in pain and grief. Plus I don't want to spoil said climax. So we're going with a compromise: Eiko dies later in the story, but not right at the end.

The cult has a history of taking out people when they realize they know too much about them and/or seem like they're snooping around. Usually in such a scenario Hayato would be able to stop them in time by either promising to take care of it himself, or convincing them some other way that she isn't a threat. In this instance, he'd have failed. Eiko is killed = wrongful death = becomes a grim. I know the coolest option is to make the host a person, in this case probably Hayato, but, as cool as it is, it does sort of take away part of the fun that I can have with the design since the host needs to influence the grim's appearance, and I don't think grim Eiko being Eiko but scary with some of Hayato's features would be a very cool design, and certainly not the one I want to go with exploring this AU. So we're going with an object grim. Fyi, grims don'f consciously choose their hosts, just like how they don't consciously choose to become grims.

If you want an explanation in this AU for why Hayato didn't become her host, here's what I've thought up: maybe when she got ambushed, she thought Hayato had betrayed her and for whatever reason had wanted to have her dead. Yes it's jumping to conclusions but you gotta remember the massive gamble she's taking by trusting the guy who is also the prince of a cult. She didn't think or expect he'd betray her but she should've kept in mind it was always a possibility all along.

Grim Eiko's host is her sword. I haven't talked about this actually but Eiko has a lot of affection for her sword, it's a symbol of pride to her. And it was also her last line of defence before she died. I think this may be a lame answer but idk I don't think most other PCD agents are that fond of their weapons. Eiko is because it represents a lot of good things to her. She'd be a corporeal grim, and for her appearance I decided to make her look like a damaged statue. I don't think this'd correlate to how she died, mainly because I can't think of an interesting cause of death. Since it was something like a hit, I think it would've been too discreet to impact her appearance.

Why does she look like a statue... I think you could interpret it many ways. Statues are usually made in the image of someone to honour them, but Eiko, being damaged, would represent her losing her honour and dignity when she was killed. Or, she died thinking she'd been betrayed, so she's got nothing but stone in the place of a heart now. Or, she's a literal pale imitation of who she was before her death. Or, she died because she was so weak and fragile she couldn't protect herself, so now she's bulletproof, but she's also impossible to get through to. She has her sword, so she's like the knight protecting her own walls she's built around herself. She's confused and hurt, so she lashes out at everyone, forever stuck in a state where she thinks she needs to protect herself because she's always reliving her final moments in a loop and can't tell it's been over for months.

I do not think this AU would get better, it would be a nightmare for everyone. If Hayato's already doing bad in canon he'd be Suffering in this timeline. I don't think he'd be able to get through to Eiko, or convince her that he didn't betray her. Or, if he did, that'd be when her stone body would crumble and she'd be gone forever (technically her sword would have to be destroyed for this to happen yes but go with it).

Oh yes, I almost forgot. Her ability is a bit tricky. I have 3 options I like: petrification, a.k.a. turning people to stone by staring at them, a literal death stare, people die when they make eye contact with her, or, to play into how her sword functions in canon, she drains people of all their blood once they're stabbed with her sword. They'd also end up looking like her, since if you drain a person of blood, they become you know. really pale. I feel like this last one is a bit too dramatic and violent- idk, but I had a lot of fun thinking of this version of Eiko.

Which PATH will you follow? Perhaps the Destruction? Or is The Elation more fitting? No? Then, perhaps..

HIMARI KATANASHI

Her lore.

I’ve never explicitly told her story on my blog, only on art fight and to my friends, so here we are.

Himari is a weaponsmith at the PCD, in a world created by my mutual @adagiorii. Mootie, this one goes out to you! <3

If you have any questions of this world, please direct it to them!

In this post, I will put her story into phases:

CHILDHOOD, TRAINING ACADEMY, AND PCD.

For a content warning, I will state that there are statements of child endangerment, child neglect, and violence. While it doesn’t get too in depth, I know people’s struggles are different. If any of these make you uncomfortable, please do not interact with this post.

CHILDHOOD:

Himari had a very simple life at the beginning. It was her, her mother who worked medical at PCD, and her father who was the town’s butcher. It was a normal life. She planned to follow in her father’s footsteps, become a butcher herself. Her parents adored her, showered her in attention. This was how life was for her, until she was around 7-8 years old.

Kaori was born, and everything shifted. The parents that used to be there for her every waking need were now gone. Her life became silent. Her sister got all the love, all the attention. Himari didn’t want to admit that she hated it, but she did, she really did.

This envy blossomed whenever they signed Kaori up to join the training academy, deciding to bring Himari along just so someone they knew could keep an eye on their daughter. It felt humiliating, to say the least. To not even be seen by her parents as their daughter.

TRAINING ACADEMY:

This is where she really goes downhill. At TA, she meets someone. Iris. A seemingly perfect, innocent girl. Her hair was a pristine white, something that made her stand out from the crowd. She seemed so lovely, it sickened Himari to her core. Is this how her parents saw her sister? Someone to be cherished? To be praised for her mere existence?

She hated it.

Something changed in Himari after that. She always had anger issues, but they were only inflamed by this. More frequent fights (with a specific albino girl…), and she began lashing out more often. This permanently damaged her relationship with her parents, she barely even saw them. Though, a twinge of her felt guilt, a desire to be loved, to be the one they actually cared for. And that twinge caused her to do something she’d regret for the rest of her life.

A simple walk with her sister, Kaori. A quiet area, no one would see. She let go of her hand, and before Kaori could realize it, she was alone. In the middle of nowhere. With no idea how to return. Himari ran for her life, her arrogance shadowing any other emotions. It was a sudden decision, more because she saw something. Someone. And she didn’t want to figure out what they wanted. She didn’t know until she got home that she forgot her sister, and a wave of pure guilt washed over. She was a horrible person, someone who could never be trusted or loved again. And these thoughts were only amplified by Iris.

One day, Himari snapped, and it ended in a fight more brutal than usual, leaving for her to get expelled from TA, and shunned by her parents. She was on the road for a while, before discovering that she could be a weaponsmith for PCD.

PCD:

Once joining the PCD, she attempted to hide any remnants of her past, along with keeping herself distant from everyone. The first person to approach her was Eiko, surprisingly. Well, not approach, per se..more like meet. Simply a routine check up on her sword, which left Himari rather confused. Who does routine checkups on a sword if it has no damages?? She’ll never know. But that first ‘meeting’ branched into Himari meeting Amara and Hayato, and over time, she started feeling less alone. She felt..like she had a life worth living. Well, until she met Iris again, but that’s a story for another day.

Comment or reblog the word butterfly if you got this far /not forced

Well, that’s basically her story, if you have any questions about her, don’t be afraid to ask! I’ve put much love and care into her.

Also sorry for the absolute word vomit, I’ve learned writing helps with my stress, and thought writing himari lore would work.
