Maxine Walter. “Red Top.” Harlem, 1972.
A 16 year old Millionaire who worked for Frank Matthews and Frank Lucas in the 1970’s. Red Top would come to school in fur coats, and brag to her teachers about how she could make $300,000 in a month. Red Top would take her teachers and classmates on shopping sprees as well.
Frank Matthews respected her hustle, and gave her, her own stamp on her work called “DOA.” Dead on Arrival. Her beauty was admired by the dealers, causing an issue between Peewee Kirkland and Freddie Myers.
Red Top ran with other Harlem juggernauts such as West Indian Chuck, Stevie Baker, and Cisco Kid.
Red Top was k*lled accidentally by Nicky Barnes’ bodyguard who went by the name Black Sunday, as he attempted to k*ll a man who owed Nicky money.
Nicky Barnes paid Sammy Davis Jr. to sing at her funeral, and all the big time dealers from Harlem showed up to pay their respects.
When Red Top passed away her family found $4 Million at one of her condos in Riverdale. She owned two Cadillacs, one was black on black, and the other was white with red interiors.
Red Top was 17 years old at the time of her passing

Fem is not the default for fanfics and it’s not a woman’s only space. It’s also disrespectful not to tag your shit ☺️

How did your Cobra Kai/Karate Kid OCs come to be?
So, the first was Nicky Connors and she came about the same way most of my OCs came about - to give one of my favourite characters a friend, with the added layer of 'what if Johnny had a friend outside of karate who tried to help him but wasn't able to' and I was drawn to this concept as it developed into 'what if Johnny had a friend outside of Cobra Kai who still wanted to learn karate but wasn't allowed in Cobra Kai itself because John Kreese is an asshole' and I really loved this idea, and the OC herself as she grew, of how she sees Johnny and the rest of the Cobras as friends, as people who are just being led down a very bad path and yet being unable to really stop that because she's only one person, and sometimes one person isn't enough to help...only for it to turn out that she does have some influences (and later, her friendships with all of them get repaired after they make amends.)
As for her adopted son James in the CK era, I'd already decided that Nicky couldn't have biological kids, but wasn't bothered by this in the slightest and was happy to adopt - she was going to have a whole bunch of kids to start with, but honestly I think just the one is fine.
Now, the Barnes family started out as side characters in my first Mike fic, trying to settle (the ghosts of my past). I wrote this around three months before S5 came out and by this point I'd given up on watching past S4's mid-point because the whole thing was so bad, but I'd heard rumours that Mike would be returning in S5 and would likely join Cobra Kai and that pissed me off because of all the antagonists he has the least stakes in the situation - like he didn't know and probably wouldn't care about the history, he was literally paid to be there and sure, he lost out on the big payday but like. That was ultimately down to Kreese and Silver for making it complicated instead of just reopening CK anyway.
So then I thought 'what if Mike went and had a normal life with a family and had no interest in being dragged into another insane revenge plot', so that's what happened, and what I wrote of Leah and Elaine and Alex I liked (especially Elaine and her plan to set fire to the CK merchandise that was sent, like the chaotic streak was there already). Elaine herself became more established after S5 came out - I didn't watch it, but I was delighted to find out my prediction about Mike was correct, like he did go on to have a normal life! And he was still in the Valley so his family would be too, and I was always annoyed by the Sam-Tory fight so I thought 'what if someone stopped it' followed by 'what if that someone was Elaine' and hey presto, a fic was born! And I also gave more details about her older sister Sarah because I hadn't mentioned her yet. Leah became more developed after I took what canon gave us - co-owner of the furniture store, which she'd inherited from her father who had also been Mike's boss back in the day.
Gemma is an interesting one - because she initially started out as Johnny's daughter from a previous relationship, Robby's older sister, though the jury was out on whether Johnny knew about her or not. This version of her I had for at least a few months, but it didn't go ahead because:
When it comes to creating legacy OCs, especially children, I have to have some kind of connection to the canon character in question, some element of 'they'd be a good dad' and I just wasn't getting that with Johnny
I also didn't see how I could make this story fresh - Johnny's already abandoned one kid, do we really need to see that rehashed?
Then when I was writing my Cobra Kai Mini Rewrites I realised I was much more invested in having him repair his relationship with his actual, canon kid - but I wasn't going to give up on the OC after how much work I'd put into it, so I thought ' what if she was his cousin', which soon sparked off a whole thing about Laura's family because we know very little, but my headcanon was always that she was kicked out at 18 after falling pregnant with Johnny and I thought 'what if she had a much younger sister who came looking for her decades later and had a kid' because I love tragic family dynamics, but also I just found the idea of Johnny having an aunt who could be his sister and a cousin who could be his niece, because the age thing makes it a bit strange for him.
Also I liked the idea of having the running joke of 'I know she looks like my kid but she's not my kid' with most people Gemma runs into assuming this because they look very similar - and sometimes she'll play up to this solely to troll Johnny because it's very funny to do so.

⭐ + Aias and Tristan
Mordred (Camelot) + Aias: I apologize in advance for this shameless troublemaker, but if anyone's not worried about offending the gods, it's Mordred. He's immortal, magical, and knows all about falling in love with the wrong people, so there's common ground there. He could also just, y'know, hide Aias away in Faerie because it's much harder to die in there.
Penelope Bunce (Carry On) + Aias: A different kind of apology for Penny, but the girl loves a puzzle. She figured out how to break a marriage contract with a demon just by analyzing the wording, and she'd enjoy the challenge of trying to break Aias's curse from the gods.
Nicky Murdoch (Anita Blake) + Tristan: Nicky's basically a hired gun, so I could easily see him working for the Blackwell family, maybe even as a bodyguard or something. Just me shoving all the ruthless assassin muses together to see what happens.
Leo Barnes (The Purge) + Tristan: Same basic premise, probably, except in a Purge universe where Leo typically works security of some kind. I'm curious to see what the Blackwells would do on Purge night. Do they do all their dirtiest work on the night where everything, including murder, is legal, or are they out there trying to protect the innocent?
