Oh boy! They're here! OvO! Zaid (Human!Zorc), Myri, and Jackal along with poor Bakura who doesn't look like he's having a good time. (help him) from my AU fic A Song Remains to be Sung.
This is a lil pre-show of a mini comic I've got in the works that takes place before A Song Remains to be Sung begins in earnest with Ryou. You'll notice Bakura's hair is longer and he's wearing different clothes than what I described and drew him with in his first encounter with Ryou.
Discreet info about each character below the cut!
Bakura: An Armenian/Egyptian born around 800 CE. Taken by Zaid and made an immortal 'companion'. Having his original name taken from him and replaced with the name 'Bakura'. Often called the nickname 'Sunshine" by Zaid, he is Zaid's most prized possession; something to be looked at only by his eyes and rendered a 'ghost' to anyone else (though anyone with Zaid's dark gift can see him).
Zaid: Though not his true name; he is a nefarious entity trapped in a human form by the host of heavenly pantheons he invaded after attempting to devour the gods themselves. Seeking any means necessary to return to his true self, he has found power in music and uses it to sway the hearts and minds of humans to commit small albeit dark acts upon their fellow kin allowing his ambitions to fly under the radar of those who imprisoned him.
Myri: A biological male; Myri uses She/Her pronouns. Born during the time of Alexander the Great's Campaign of India between 327 and 325 BCE. Myri was conceived through a Roman soldiers r*pe of her Indian mother. She is Zaid's most trusted ally, allowing her to make decisions for his schedules, his wardrobe and everything in his day to day conquest to regain his true self.
Jackal: Born close to the end of the Viking Era (somewhere around 1,000 CE) Jackal was the youngest of his family. He was outcast by his father and brothers for failing to protect his mother and unborn sister from a vándr vargr. Left wounded in the snow after being punished by his brothers, he nearly died of hypothermia and hunger when Zaid saved him. Now an undying and obsessed loyalist who is envious of Bakura's relationship with Zaid, he goes through any means to earn his saviors favor and appreciation.
Also was talking with @sesshy380 about the sins they'd represent and honestly the Evagrius list of the deadly sins can be easily split between them giving them each 2!
Zaid: Greed, Gluttony
Jackal: Lust, Sloth
Myri: Pride, Vanity
Bakura: Sorrow, Wrath
I hope you enjoy this piece and look forward to the full comic! (with no ETA on that TvT)
