Nnoitra ink art.

This is going to be headcanon format instead of scenario, but yep, Luppi can absolutely be included! >:D

. . .

Starrk

He's perfectly content being subordinate to someone stronger. Existing as the weaker one, for once, is almost peaceful. He's not the best about actually getting up and following orders, but the lack of any rebellious or power-hungry tendencies makes up for those faults. So long as Lilynette can stay by his side (which is all but guaranteed, with a matched set like them), this role is bearable.

Halibel

So long as Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun are under your protection as well, she can swallow her pride and accept a superior. For the most part, as a Fraccion, Halibel stays out of the way. She does what she's told and tries to make herself useful, but doesn't seek recognition or praise. She just wants to fill this role properly, and not have to deal with unnecessary complications.

Ulquiorra

He's the picture of silent, apathetic obedience; following orders quickly, efficiently, and without complaint. However... that dead-eyed glare certainly doesn't seem fond of you. Internally, Ulquiorra is willing to accept a superior when one is assigned to him, but he finds the whole farce of authority just as ridiculous as most of Aizen's commands. He'll comply, but he resents every second of it.

Nnoitra

Nnoitra might very well be the worst Fraccion possible. Having someone stronger bossing him around hits his fragile, volatile ego like nothing else— and as you'd expect, he responds to that perceived slight with violence. Constant threats against his superior's life quickly become routine; you can either accept this, or put him down in battle and wipe your hands of the mess.

Grimmjow

Horrendous. He's a slight step up from Nnoitra in that he's capable of some pro-social behavior, but Grimmjow vehemently despises being anyone's subordinate— and he makes his feelings on the matter frequently and violently known. Much like how he rebells against Aizen's authority, whoever he's Fraccion to gets a nasty attitude and creative interpretations of orders, at best.

Szayel

On the surface, he's an enthusiastically loyal subordinate who goes above and beyond to be helpful to you! ...too far, sometimes, especially when his excuses for the latest self-directed incident don't quite hide his scheming. Szayel, of course, is plotting against you all the while; either to take you down and rise in the ranks, or to exploit your power for his own benefit.

Aaroniero

He's another out-of-the-way sort of subordinate who would just as soon never have to interact with you for more than a few moments at a time, if he can help it. At the same time that Aaroniero is wary of someone so much stronger than him, he can't help but envy your position of authority— emotions that make it safer for him to keep his distance and plan ahead for every encounter.

Luppi

ban could actually be a pure dramatic body type. his styling looks FG to fit the theme of seven deadly sins, but he's all vertical, straight lines, contrast, pointy edges. between FN and SD i would go for FN, he lacks yin softness and would have kibbe width in the anime. still, when i draw on top of his design, i see no bluntness. head to toe black is your telltale dramatic alarm bell. (also proves our "dramatics are matched with gamines" couple theory again)

as soon as a character walks in with the all black/all angles/all vertical head to toe with a white color contrast (hair in gojo's case), i know they're a dramatic type. my theory: everyone is into gojo because he's SO archetypally designed that it's universally accessible. plus, it's rare that a dramatic is not the villain. interesting subversion.

jojo's bizarre adventure, that is a true soft dramatic + flamboyant natural design. drapes and quiffs and tiny waists and broad chests and tank tops and ruffled hair and luxury color palettes. all paired with extreme vertical and extended lines. it's not a head to toe rectangle box like the pure dramatic gojo formula.

PS: ban's difficult case reminds me of grimmjow from bleach (6'1) - tough to gauge where between the big three (FN/SD/D) he falls, his stature is so inconsistent between manga-anime and arcs, plus he is dressed in a different ID than his yang body is (cropped lines are not exactly big 3, so they show off his physique). plus his shapeshifting gives him more blunt FN lines/the XXL-FN "mane".

bleach is dramatic-leaning generally (i love this series!! byakuya is my husband), nnoitra is the best example, as is aizen. since he's contrasted with gamine ulquiorra a lot, grimmjow might be pure dramatic too, despite all else. extreme vertical, sharp shoulders with bnw scheme, asymmetric face detailing. again, spike yang hair, sharp chin. his "wild beast" theme is FN, but his lines say D. his triangular skirt with the dropped waist, very D-type. see how ulquiorra is angular like him but compact? gamine juxtaposition.
