MODS ASLEEP POST HELMER

Hiii

[EDIT FROM YEARS LATER: FULL DISCLOSURE, some of the concept art wasn't out yet, so we weren't aware that Helmer is implied to be a "kid" or at least a teenager(?), I have since stopped drawing relationship focused content of the fur-hires. I thought Helmer was just a very short captain man, sorry! You can pretend some of my other works are of him aged up, as I only ever drew him under the assumption he was totally an adult.]

OKAY SO the thing is, since these guys originate from yugioh cards its actually kinda hard to ascertain what their setting would be like [there’s literally no provided lore at all aside from the art on the cards themselves] so lets go with high fantasy, due to the presence of things like flying boats and animal people, magic, etc.

As for how they got together, it started with Helmer, who worked as a freelance pilot. He’s actually a very skilled helmsman, who was sought out for his impressive airship-driving skills to ferry clients quickly and safely.

That is until he was approached by a mercenary by the name of Rafale, who thought Helmer would make a great addition to his team: the Skyfang Brigade. Rafale paid very well, and with Helmer bored by his repetitive work, becoming a mercenary sounded enticing. (Not to mention he found the man attractive.) So Helmer lent both his ship and his talents to the brigade, since their old ship was…not so great. Unfortunately this meant leaving behind his high profile career, since being a mercenary isn’t exactly favoured by his old clientele. He was fine with that.

Eventually, some of Rafale’s associates found out about the sick new boat, and decided to fully join the team as well! As they went about doing their work in defending people, carrying out assassinations, and providing escort, more and more people eventually joined the team. Through the close bond of being a tight-knit crew and having to depend on each other with their lives, most of them said fuck it! We’re all in a relationship now.

Of course, some of them are decidedly not involved with that
