This is where I'm putting all my OC post links to keep track of 'em. Since I'm doing artfight this year, and (I'm probably going to be writing more about them soon anyways, thought I'd give their more in-depth lore on here, so I can avoid too much word vomit on Artfight)

Aiko -> HxH Oc

He's pangender (except any genders with specific cultural backgrounds and requirements)

My daughter is so... complicated with romantic orientation

Quiromantic (or wtfromantic) but also considered it as recipromantic with minor preference for gender making it omni/bi

Asexual, somewhere on that spectrum

Polyam (note, actually healthy and communicationing with it)

Jeantonio is a qpr situation. They still get married and kiss and all that shit, but they're definitely a secret third option in terms of what they feel for each other

Player and carm, also a qpr. Just very close friends who know everything about each other and are ready to die for each other.

Gray is bi and quiromantic

Player is agender, with the vibe of "I could be thinking about gender identity, but red needs my help so I'm too busy"

Ivy and tigress are both sapphic and refuse elaborate

Zack uses he/they pronouns

Shadowsan is the bi dad who none of the kids know is bi and when someone comes out he tells a crazy story about he was madly in love with a man and lived together for like eight years but things happened

Chase is transmasc

Jules is a lesbian

mime bomb is recipromantic and uses he/it pronouns

coach brunt is like shadowsan but pan

Cleo and bellum are married, this one isn't anything new

Once again, just a whole bunch of bullet points with... is it a headcanon if it's a fandom oc and you're their creator or? Not my problem.

During schooling at VILE, Korone would sometimes insist on everyone having a 'sleepover' (even though pretty much everyone shared a room. It's just fun) and he would do everyone's makeup and hair. (would justify it as practice for disguises if a teacher asked, though nobody ever did)

These 'sleepovers' were also when people shared music, literature and movies from their home countries and cultures. (though, for Korone and Carmen this was always a little awkward. Neither had anything to share. Considering Korone only red classic literature and Carmen grew up on the island and neither got much access to the classic things you can only get by really living somewhere)

The sleepovers were actually just everyone staying up late and hanging out, maybe playing classic sleepover games. They're all out of highschool, but who doesn't have fun being a little immature sometimes.

Korone's favorite classmate to do the makeup of was Le Chevre (tho they also enjoyed doing mime bombs)

Favorite hair to do was Tigress, mostly because she actually kept it in for a while and appreciated how fancy Korone made it (unlike Carmen)

El Topo really liked getting his makeup done.

Carmen would always get her hair and makeup messed up immediately, but even so, she always felt very pretty. Once she left VILE, she actually missed that feeling, even when doing her own makeup with techniques she learnt from Korone

Grey always scoffed when it was his turn but was never mad.

Nobody, not even Tigress, has ever tried to see Korone's face without a disguise, a full face of goth makeup, or without a mask. (they'd wear a sleeping mask while sleeping.) Nobody asked after the first time someone made a comment about it.

Same thing with Korone's real/legal name. They had a codename as soon as they joined because they had been using it while on the run with Luckie.

Korone understands Mime Bomb's Miming as well as Carmen, which is to say, better than anyone else which means they're actually pretty friendly. I mean the whole jester and mime motifs matching up also helps.

Korone loved the pun for Crackle's code name and fully supported the idea with his entire soul. She was very sad when he cut the Graham part, though did think that was probably smart because it was his legal name before working at VILE

Going back to sleepovers, I like to imagine that, although there was like no gossip, everyone would pretend there was and have a lot of fun with it. Like making up tea to spill.

I like to imagine these were always fun because I actually severely doubt most of the VILE operatives ever got to actually be teenagers, you know? Like they're all implied to be orphans and have all chosen/been forced to turn to a life of crime, so they probably didn't have great childhoods and had to grow up quickly. This isn't fluff, just random thoughts here.

Anyways, on the note of sleepovers, being teenagers and party games, at some point spin the bottle was played. All I can tell you is that it was a ploy to get Le Chevre and El Topo to confess and it worked because neither of them seem to me to be the type to be too embarrassed about it. (or they had already been dating and nobody else really knew. They knew they liked each other but didn't know they had been dating because it was never announced and they didn't act any different.)

Korone (because they get sent on missions a lot, and pretty much everywhere) tries to get all the operatives they know (not even just the ones in his class) a gift every so often, especially if it's something she knows they like from their home country.

Everyone always puts up with Korone's absolute chaos and pranking because they clean up after themselves and their pranks.

"We prank hard, but we clean up even harder" -Grian in i think hermitcraft 8. This is very much his vibe. He does love seeing everyone's reactions tho and is very much an asshole about it. He just cleans up after being an asshole about how funny it was. (bet you weren't expecting a grian reference in you carmen sandeigo oc fluff post. but here we are. I really wasn't either)

They also don't give a shit about anything else VILE wants them to do unless it's killing a friend or family. (Notice how I didn't say hurting)

This one is all about things my beautiful son is good at and things she will die if asked to do.

Did ballet up until starting a life of crime

Incredible with makeup

Can host stellar tea parties. The only thing this man can make is tea.

Very good balance.

Can touch a fabric and give a pretty good estimate of what it's made of, how it's made, where it was made

Knows a lot about fashion from different eras

Can juggle

Knew morse code and lock picking before VILE (though I assume they were also taught at the school)

Pretty good at recognizing actual artifacts compared to fakes. Not perfect, but they know a lot about history so like. Xe can do it pretty well.

Knows a lot of entertainment history. Like the commedia del'arte, all about specific jesters, a lot about music and theatre mainly.

Knows a lot about ancient mythologies, greco-roman, norse, egyptian, japanese, pretty much everywhere honestly.

History was his best subject at 'school'. Well second best, her best would be dancing, all the stuff that you'd find in a finishing school other than cooking (because why would he need to cook, she's rich. or that was the thought process behind them not being taught)

Speaking of, cannot cook to save his life

Doesn't know how to sew, surprisingly

Understand most slang to be entirely honest

Understand any metaphor or use of fancy language that wasn't taught to him in his schooling (so like she can totally get you if you speak in fancy metaphors and rich people speak but as soon as you do anything else they're confused as fuckkkk)

use a surprising amount of tech. Like, they can manage their mask and like maybe a phone. Everything else seems to break as soon as they look at it. I don't know this is just amusing to me.

Sleep. In any consistent manner.

Wear black, i've said it before, but he will refuse to wear black at any and all costs. Which there are quite a few of.

Isn't what i would call great at math. Like he can and will do it, but he doesn't have a great time with it.

Hates geometry with a passion.

Likes algebra much more but as soon as you ask how xe came up with something, they cannot tell you

cannot name any constellations. At all. Don't ask how they managed this. They're just iconic like that.

Remembering things, that's just not happening. Unless it's vital for a mission or particularly interesting to her, they are not remembering what you said to him.

So I KNOW I've changed korone's favorite professor like five times already. But cleo. It's cleo. That's his mum. No it's not a healthy relationship. No they're not related at all but that's his mom.

Cannot handle seeing their own face

Is afraid of fire because they may or may not have killed his entire family in a fire that they may or may not have started

As I've said elsewhere, when they experience incredibly strong emotions they get... possessed to a degree. (look I know it's CS where there is no supernatural but I'm having fun)

This possession thing is genuinely horrifying for them. And everyone around them. They can't control their own body at all but they're very aware of everything that's happening to them.

It's horrifying for everyone else because it won't stop until their physical body can't handle it anymore. This leads to... horribly wrong things.

Anyways it's only happened like twice ever.

Xe wear bright colours because they need to be seen. Like, his backstory is being ignored unless perfect which was impossible. She is loud and bright to make sure that never happens again

Which really makes the whole operative for an invisible organisation thing hurt

anyways as the disguise artist of VILE, they also have a lot of trouble with the fact that they're not really supposed to be noticed

Just another person, nothing of note really.

Just a list of characters and korone's relationship with them. Too lazy to make a proper chart tbh.

Carmen -> They were pretty close during schooling, considering both of their proclivity for pranks. Korone's not a fan of the whole betrayal thing. so they're not friendly at all when they see each other on heists

Graham -> very close. Something something both lost their friends to 'the good side' and a bit chaotic

Tigress -> Tigress thinks they're a bit much. She can appreciate his rich kid side though. especially when they have to work together on capers with gems and jewerly

Le Chevre -> they're friendly. No issues here. not too close, just coworkers. who have to work together a lot.

El Topo -> same as le chevre honestly

Mime Bomb -> they're pretty chill. i can imagine them sitting around together and listening to music. Idk. They're both clown vibes, but one's loud and the other's not that. I like to imagine they're close.

Paper Star -> They'd be friends. Bright color wearing people who find joy in being scary and evil. They clash a bit sometimes, but not nearly as much as Tigress and paper star.

The Troll -> Mutual Respect. Both enjoy trolling, what can I say.

Countess Cleo -> honestly... it's complicated. best way I can put it is korone sees her as... a mother figure? something like that. but like, they didn't have a good mother. And his mother was very similar to cleo. So like. it's... very complicated. Cleo sees them as a kind of child, especially since they are so very well behaved with Cleo, but it's still a bit weird I think.

Doctor Bellum -> Favorite teacher by far. Bellum likes their chaos and they like their mask. And also science.

Professor Maelstrom -> almost the same thing as Cleo. But less so and in a different manner. Korone isn't polite around him at all. Or well behaved. There's a bit of mutual respect, but you know.

Coach Brunt -> Korone does not by any means dislike Coach Brunt, but due to their disability, they didn't actually end up doing half of the stuff in her classes. She reminds Coach of Black Sheep. So I think Brunt has very expectations and hopes for him.

My man spends at least two hours dealing with her hair daily

Lanky. xer very lanky. looks taller than she is. Isn't scarily thin, just very lanky

Despite how they act, they are actually pretty smart

Like, they were expected to be VERY intelligent as a kid, perfect grades with a very rigorous home school program and all that.

Not good at common sense though

Rich kid through and through

Doesn't know how to cook, doesn't know how to do anything you should know how to do

Like he gets by, but she's kind of stupid if you expect xem to be doing anything other than like really fancy upper class things or really useless knowledge about maths, science and literature

They can hold a conversation in about five languages, including english, but are only really fluent in English

Despite being goth (in the music sense and subculture sense) they refuse to wear black. Best you can get is a dark green.

This is unfortunate, considering how many fancy parties they're sent to with the purpose of stealing something while undercover as a man in a black suit. It's unfortunately a tell that some ex-operatives have and will continue to use

Like extremely good at makeup and changing how they appear. They have about a million different ways to disguise themselves and they're like literally a shapeshifter

I was gonna include angstier/darker stuff on here. But I think that'll be a different post. Eventually maybe.

VILE like kinda has to have a medical department. Operatives get injured on missions all the time. Bad injuries need physical therapy and consistent care for a while to heal properly. A good operative who just got their ass beat by Carmen or fell off something or got injured in class somehow shouldn't, realistically, be just memory wiped. That's a lot of work that's just a net negative. And they can't use an actual hospital.

because of bellum, VILE has really good tech. Like unironically one of the best hospitals you could go to

Lady dokuso helps out with medicine sometimes. The thing that determines the poison is the dose and all that

Coach brunt actually visits any recovering operatives when she can. I dunno, I just feel like she would. Something about 'its what family does'

Gray actually spent a bit being healed up in the VILE facility and getting PT so he could move properly again before getting mind-wiped

I don't think VILE would've done this normally, but he's Bellum's special boy, so I can image she wanted to make sure he was healthy and wouldn't have to figure out how to pay for PT

Also thanks to Bellum and the faculty, it's probably the best place to get medical care as a women because they actually do research on women and men. They also don't only do research with white people or able bodied/minded people in mind.

I have some more... horror-esque headcanons so I'm gonna put those under the cut. So umm. TW for medical horror, body horror, a whole bunch of bad stuff.

Coach Brunt -> Korone is freakishly strong sometimes, in a manner that Brunt finds incredibly admirable and interesting. They're also, very very loyal, which always helps

Professor Maelstrom -> Everything about Korone is an incredibly interesting case study for psych. The gender, the choices, the acting, the inability to exist, they're just so weird. (also he does seem to his wildcard students, so I'm going off vibes here)

Countess Cleo -> Now this one's odd. Look, my beautiful baby boy Korone was a rich kid. This is imperative to understand here. She knows etiquette. She usually just refuses to use it. But they'll choose to use it around Cleo for... some reason (I will maybe elaborate sometime, but not now). So, Cleo gets to see the very polite side of this jester-bird which is good enough for her.

Doctor Bellum -> Look, Korone's a chaos goblin who's also very weird medically I'm going to be so honest here. It's the being an aspect of a genderless god and also, did I mention, they're a chaos goblin who speaks very literally about everything.

Shadowsan (he was a teacher their year, so I'm including him here. Just because I have thoughts) -> Intolerable prankster with a name that doesn't exactly match their outfit theming who was also raised in a very odd manner. What can I say, Korone reminded him of blacksheep a bit. They've both definitely bitten people and you cannot convince me otherwise.
