My post episode #87 Gillion and Jay designs! I'm really pleased with how these turned out - I struggled a lot with Jay at first because I didn't have a clear vision of her, but I wrote down some more notes to narrow down my personal interpretation of her character, and was able to come up with this design as a result! (you can also see this post for more Riptide Pirate clothing headcanons!)
TDLR she hates the feelings of most fabric on her skin, is only presentable out of obligation, and gradually begins to drift towards what is less acceptable in standard social norms but more comfortable for her the longer she spends as a pirate.
Gillion, on the other hand, has a design progression from a neat and flawless hero into an unruly pirate - I plan to make a post detailing the specifics of his design progression later on, but here's a piece of it at least!

i am thinking about if,, if chip loses himself completely,, gillion doing another oath of vengeance type thing where his grief manifests as rage
except the problem is Who does he exact revenge on? they've already killed the person who killed chip, and his loss of himself has no one to blame,, so gillion has nowhere to direct the rage, no direction, no purpose,, and the grief consumes him.
he becomes feral, inconsolable, and furious. he becomes what he thinks he should have been, what he believes would have saved chip if he hadn't been so selfish - he becomes little more than a weapon to direct. you point, his teeth and claws and blade follow.
there is not much of gillion left, just the Champion, because the Champion wouldn't have let chip die, wouldn't have let him be lost, would have gotten there faster, would have been better.
so maybe, oath of vengeance is a bit of a misnomer. maybe it would be better to say he swore an oath of atonement.
(sometimes, when the battle is over, and all is quiet, you can see gillion slip out just a little bit. if its late at night, and you listen real close, you can just make out quiet sobbing from the captains quarters)
