Madaparty 2025 — Theme 11: Lemurs

The "Lemurs", as they are sometimes referred to, are gang members who rose to prominence in the Central City underground scene after a bloody succession struggle.

Julien (thirteenth of his name and twelfth of his siblings) was one of the Penguins' most faithful repeat buyers back when they were still conducting heists. As previously mentioned, he also hired them from time to time to steal items from under other collectors' noses.

Additional ramblings under the cut.

Although Julien has many siblings, most of them are deceased. A good few died in childhood or to murder. He was blessed enough to survive thanks to his caretaker and bodyguard's keen eyes.

Said caretaker, Maurice, has been with him since he was a child. He finds it difficult to leave, despite all the headaches Julien gives him. Julien's bodyguard, Clover, is his closest confidant and the one he'd turn to on particularly stressful days.

Mort is... nobody is really sure what Mort is. But he came to America with the other two and has stuck himself to Julien's side since. He is at times surprisingly good at what he does, though bets up if it's due to skill or luck.

At a friend's suggestion, I modeled Mort largely after actor Deep Roy. Maurice I had to do over twice because his initial design came out a little too... soft? In a "this is a character you'd find in a story with no stakes" way. In a slice of life AU it would've been fine, but not in this one.

Human!AU; four criminals get employed against their will (they are now Classified's problem, he did this to himself).
