Was looking through some old art of marvin and decided to try my hand at this AU version of him again. However I forgot he has cat eyes so... just ignore that it's fiiiiiiiiine. In other news... I like drawing his long hair!
I missed monster AU. I am so excited. Are there any fun facts or tidbits you want to share :D
Many actually! And I am absolutely gonna take this ask and run with it as far as I fucking can. I've been w a i t i n g and you may regret asking. Thank you! ❤️
Henrik and Marvin
Something I haven't touched on a lot in my art is how Marvin and Henrik met. Marvin was thrown out of his coven for his practice of summoning demons, and was wandering for awhile, before he found and befriended Henrik.
They met at a supernatural friendly bar. And um. Well. They both had a bit of a 'Mad Scientist' complex when it came to magic. Not so much in that they want to do anything harmful with it, but they'll do stuff just to see if they can.
Henrik has been to school and likes the non magical sciences, knows a lot about them. Marvin is self taught and has experimented in areas he probably shouldn't have. They wanted to know what would happen if you mixed the two.
Henrik has a project in mind, and they began working on it at Henrik's mansion, growing into good friends as they did so. Eventually, Marvin just ended up living at the house.
And that's how Robbie came into being and got his two dads! (Make of that what you will lol)
(side tangent, Covens in this world are just a group of witches within a certain area or each other that generally band together or have similar goals. Kinda like a friend group. Each is different and has different rules, and there are witches who belong to multiple Covens)
Marvin did not have multiple covens, he had one that he was really into. But his friends grew distant over time and eventually tried to talk him out of summing demons, which was morally objectionable to them. Marvin didn't listen to them and didn't respect their boundaries, so got kicked out.
(more under the cut)
Henrik needs human blood, but he doesn't like taking directly from the source. It reminds him that he's not immune to impulse, that he could lose control of himself if he's not careful.
Marvin also isn't comfortable with being a bloodbag for his vampiric friend, so they both agree that Henrik never feeds off of Marvin.
(on top of that the magic in Marvin's blood makes it taste spicy so Henrik doesn't like it)
Marvin and Henrik share something else in common, a flaw. They both crave control. For Henrik, it's control of himself. For Marvin, it's control of his life. Marvin wants freedom, Henrik wants self discipline. Both can delve into unhealthy behaviors to achieve these things. But they understand what the other wants.
Kinda alluded to before but they may have a relationship? When asked, both reply vaguely and refuse to elaborate. They both find it incredibly funny.
Marvin has lived in the mansion long enough he knows all the secret passageways and hidden nooks. He can disappear into the house and not be found for weeks if he wants to be.
Jack and IRIS
Since I only recently started incorporating it into my AU, I wanna get my thoughts out about it.
IRIS here is kinda a bad thing. It's a group of humans who have decided that the supernatural is bad/has bad effects on people, so have dedicated themselves to hunting down any overtly supernatural creatures and either killing them or containing them. They alone have caused most of the monsters to go into hiding.
They have 'Hunters' who go around trying to find supernatural entities to either capture or kill. Hunters are usually human, tho occasionally they might have some supernatural enhancement, if IRIS approves of it.
Jack used to be a part of these hunters until he became a monster himself. From there he had to do a lot of self discovery... And it eventually lead him down the path to meet Anti, the demon of fear and nightmares.
During this time, IRIS lost contact with Jack and didn't know what happened to him. They were/are also unaware of Jack being a werewolf.
Jack was able to escape Anti, and kept on the down low, hiding from IRIS for some time. It was only when he saved Chase from Anti that IRIS found him again.
IRIS won't force him back into their ranks, but they are very suspicious of him reappearing after years of no contact. They suspect he's hiding something, or has had a change of heart.... Which Jack has had.
(Also, to clarify, Jack is not Sean, it's the character of Jack.)
Jack is unaware that IRIS had found him until Chase was taken in for questioning. Once Chase came back, Jack suspected it was IRIS, and began worrying about them. This pushed him into a spiral and he began having nightmares again... Which pushed him into Anti's domain again and caused the demon to try and find him again
Basically bad things happen to Jack and it's all IRIS's fault!
I wanted to share my new banner and the title for the Monster AU! I had a lot of fun with this big piece! also it’s one I’ve worked on for multiple days, which is a rarity lol.
Meet Monster AU Marvin, the rejected Witch! (Au made by me and @acuaticamber06 )
Marvin was REALLY fun to draw. Mainly because, while I kept it simple, I got to be a little more creative with his design and his magic. His color scheme is purple and green, which is not exactly what you’d think of with him. Also, the suit symbols are on his forehead, not his mask.
Marvin was born with the power to use magic, and has found fascination with it ever since. He learned quickly, but not because he was studious. He liked to try spells out hands on instead of reading what they do in old spell books. This natural affinity with magic made him very prideful and encouraged his rashness.
Most witch’s (in this AU at least) tend to summon Reapers to help them in situations. Marvin, however, was more interested in summoning Angels and Demons. This practice was frowned upon... but wasn’t banned.
One time, however, Marvin bit off more than he could chew. He summoned a demon that was able to break containment and attacked him. It wreaked havoc on the area nearby, and Marvin was only able to banish it with a very powerful spell that marked him.
After that, his coven decided that Marvin had gotten a little out of hand and pushed him out. Marvin wandered job to job, looking for something that would fit him... until he found an add for a position under a strange ‘Dr. Henrik Von Schneeplestein’.
