#seth ma

Realizing I really don't draw Seth often enough, though you can still tell I've got a much better handle on their face now. Originally the long hair was meant to be a "they grow it out" situation but I'm considering going for the long hair from the start, just because I think it's cute.

TJ was originally kind of a throwaway token white boy, but you can definitely see hints of the true character in that early art. He's gotten much rounder and softer now, as I've drawn him more and more over the past year 💕 (has it really only been a year?? jesus christ)

TJ/REfactor:

Relationship with:

The Psykopomp: Antagonistic, playful, teasing, flirty. They're "enemies" but REfactor is not too concerned as long as the Psykopomp doesn't hurt anyone.

Lilith: Very flirty, still teasing and antagonistic at times. TJ has a big-time crush on Lilith and likes to pull her pigtails a little. Mostly he just flirts badly at her.

Kent: TJ and Kent know each other from the BDSM club. They become friends and TJ eventually asks him out. Kind of an open relationship, FWB, rebound situation…

Dr. Augustine: TJ's therapist, Dr. Augustine. Psychic vampire, feeds on TJ's emotional highs and lows and takes advantage of him/seduces him. Possibly is involved in the leadup to TJ's imprisonment? Undecided.

Lilith:

Relationship with:

TJ: TJ is an Annoying awkward dumbass. Unfortunately he's kinda cute… and he has a nice butt. something something "I can't not fuck him."

REfactor: REfactor is A thorn in the Psykopomp's side. He doesn't always try to stop her though. Mostly he's just annoying and inconvenient…

Kent: TJ's manfriend, Kent. They don't know each other all that well but in theory have some shared tastes and Kent is pretty friendly. Lilith doesn't mind if TJ dates him as long as TJ also dates her.

JJ:

(This is TJ several years later, after having been imprisoned and exploited, and in the process of transitioning.)

Relationship with:

Kent: Kent and JJ still care for each other but are no longer in a relationship.

Lilith aka the Psykopomp: Allies, now, and have been romantically involved for several years off and on. Lilith/The Psykopomp helps TJ/JJ leave the state and stay in contact w/ family.

Kala aka Veritas: Kala/Veritas helps TJ acquire a new identity (JJ) and is a general connection to the vigilantes of Seattle as well as an ally who assists REfactor when needed.

Sonam, who goes by many aliases: Sonam is a blackmarket tailor. They are involved in the creation of REfactor's new armor and are a connection to other vigilantes as well. Also possibly a roommate. Still deciding.

Scratch: Scratch is another vigilante. They don't know each other well at all but after initially clashing it's likely that they would become allies.

Lilith again:

After some time has passed.

Relationship with:

JJ: ex-boyfriend, maybe current girlfriend…? It's complicated. Lilith is a little softer toward JJ nowadays but they don't see each other as often anymore. They keep in touch, though.

REfactor in new armor: The Psykopomp has only rare occasion to interact with REfactor when in Seattle, but considers her an ally. Mostly helps long-distance.

Kala aka Veritas: Kala/Veritas is mostly a stranger to Lilith but she helped Lilith help TJ/JJ, and is an ally. They do communicate on occasion but each has their own business to deal with.

Sonam:

they have many more customers

Relationship with:

Kala aka Veritas: Veritas is a customer and ally. Sonam also finds Kala very attractive.

Scratch: Customer

JJ aka REfactor: Customer but Sonam also has some access to JJ's private life and likely offers her sanctuary in their tailor shop/home. Each keeps to themself otherwise.

Cassia: Sonam and Cassia know each other through their shared profession/pastime as tailors for metahuman customers. Cassia works "Above board" but… has connections.

Seth:

Relationship with:

Sonam: To Scratch, Sonam is both a source of information as well as a tailor who will not ask for ID or license.

REfactor: REfactor is a little bit overwhelming at first but the two will likely ally at some point.

Veritas: Veritas is mostly a stranger to Scratch but they may ally at times, as needed. Both work outside the law.

Seth continued:

Gemini and Taurus: Gemini and Taurus are antagonists/villains. Part of a private metahuman security force owned by SynTel. Possible Heel-Face turn(s), possibly Scratch's first fight.

Nekromantis: Nekromantis is a supervillainess. Not sure exact details but Scratch certainly doesn't get along with her… She's a necromancer, also.

Casey: Casey is Seth's love interest <3 and coworker lol. He's very romantic and Seth enjoys dancing with him a lot. He makes them feel special.

Deacon and Mei: Deacon and Mei are Seth's besties. They also work at an autobody shop and are Seth's trusted confidantes re: Scratch, and help them with their motorcycle.

Kala:

Relationship with:

Cassia: Cassia is a childhood friend of Kala's as well as an off-and-on friend with benefits. The two care deeply for each other. Cassia is also a metahuman tailor.

Sonam: Kala knows Sonam through Cassia somehow… Sonam is a useful ally and eventually… a friend? Sonam and Cassia both assist Kala with her costume.
