#merel faust

Happy birthday to Sirius and Merel, two of Nacht and Josele's little freak children~!

And Ida is my oc

A long time ago, I had the idea of redesigning the uniforms of the Magic Knight squads for the (many) next gen ocs that me and my friends have. I thought it would be fun for the squads to each have a unique article of clothing for the squads' uniforms, to make each group a little more unique beyond their colors.

With the help of my beloved friend Steph ( @cringeyvanillamilk ), that idea has now come to fruition! I commissioned her for all the art you are to see.

And modeling the redesigned uniforms are mine and my friends' next gen ocs.

Representing the Golden Dawn is @lyranova's oc, Alistar Vangeance.

For the Black Bulls is @eme-eleff's oc, Hikari Yami.

Wearing the Crimson Lion King's uniform is @thoughtfullyrainynightmare's oc, Leonidas Vermillion.

From my own collection of ocs and representing the Blue Rose Knights is Dawn Faust.

The representative for the Aqua Deers is also my oc, Merel Faust.

The Silver Eagle's uniform is worn by @koneko-pi's oc, Avalinia Silva.

Representing the Coral Peacocks is @sailor-muno's oc, Bellini Fortuna.

Showing off for the Green Praying Mantises is @faewraithsworld's oc, Sullivan Vixen.

And the model for the Purple Orcas is another of @/faewraithsworld's ocs, Zoisite Ideale.

The CLK and GPM's uniforms have different versions that can be worn by the squad members. As seen below.

Thank you to Steph for taking my commission. And thank you to all my lovely friends for allowing me to turn your next gens into some gorgeous models!

Further notes about the uniforms below the cut.

Merel: Family time!

Dusk: The emphasis on chicks and rabbits.

Dawn: Work holiday.

Sterling: Honestly, the food.

Sirius: The reminder that my soul can find salvation thanks to-

Vivian: The glorification of necromancy.

Here we see the scope of Nacht and Josele's family tree.

Rather than just link to the posts I made about them, I briefly summarize the children here.

Sterling (not her birth name) is the eldest child. She was adopted some time after Nacht and Josele's wedding, during the 15 month time skip.

Sterling has two magic attributes thanks to a magical circlet implanted in her head (making her similar to Mars).

Dawn (middle name Aurelia) is the second oldest but firstborn child to Nacht and Josele. She's a spirited girl who never backs down from a challenge.

She has Light Magic (like her uncle) which manifests as silver light (which I also headcanon for Morgen's magic). She's got a lot of raw power but struggles with control.

Dusk (middle name Argentio) is the third oldest and Dawn's younger twin. He's far more reserved and does terribly in social situations.

He has Shadow Magic like Nacht. He's got talent for Creation Magic and works hard to hone that ability.

In Dusk's youth, he was very close to Nacht. However, around the time he was six, something happened and caused him to start avoiding his father.

Sirius is the fourth of the children. He's soft spoken and easy going most of the time but a force to be reckoned with if pushed.

Sirius has Dream Magic which greatly surprised his parents. He uses his attribute to gain a greater understanding of other people through their thoughts and dreams.

Merel is Josele and Nacht's fifth child and Sirius's younger twin. While afraid of a lot of things, she still finds the strength to be an optimist about everything.

(Fun fact, while Sirius was born on December 31st, Merel was born after midnight on January 1st.)

Her attribute is Nightmare, the dark counterpart to Dream Magic. She's afraid of her magic for a while but learns to come into it and use it to fight.

The youngest child is Vivian and the only child born to Nacht and Josele not as a twin. Quiet and robotic at first glance, she can get fired up in the right situation.

She inherits Emotion Magic from Josele. However, due to the nature of Emotion Magic, none of Vivian's emotion-to-element conversions match Josele's (example: Josele's magic turns the emotion of courage into Fire Magic while Vivian derives Fire Magic from feelings of embarrassment). The only exception is love turning into Healing Magic.

All the children call Nacht and Josele "Father" and "Mother." This is because Sterling was the first to call them that since she already had a "Daddy" and "Mommy." Though it sounds formal, "Mother" and "Father" are said with a great amount of affection for the parents.

Here we go, we're talking drinks now. There's so many that it was a little hard to keep them all unique so there are some repeats and some that are variants of each other.

Dawn: I can’t heal with my magic.

Dusk: My magic is a poor match for the girl I like.

Sirius: My Magic is always compared to Lady Dorothy’s.

Merel: I’m scared of my own magic attribute.

Vivian: I can’t shape my magic into any form.

Sterling: I can’t attack with my magic. At all…

Off to the side…

Zoisite: What’s with this family and their hang ups?

So I've been having brainrot about next gen ocs. This is partially thanks to @lyranova's Children of the Future series. But also I like to imagine the BC characters having a happy and stable future where building families is possible.

I've shared about the future Nacht x Josele and Nozel x Helia children before but i've got more to share.

I haven't been thinking about the next gen for too long so details are sparse but I hope to build upon the foundations as time goes on. (Maybe if my school work lightens up...)

The children are grouped up by family.
