OC: Omen
Tumblr media
age: ??? (initially a juvenile; later seen as a young adult, but is basically a baby in demon years)
gender: none gender with left boy (it/he)
species: demon (initially unaffiliated; later becomes a greed demon thanks to, ahem, a certain miser’s influence)
height: 5’11”
story/universe: you’re a drifter, shape-shifter (AU for scrooge: a christmas carol)
abilities:
can shapeshift into any animal it’s seen before, or into an incorporeal force. its most common forms are a wolf, a cat, and a crow
in its incorporeal form, omen has general poltergeist-like abilities; it can throw or manipulate objects, break things, wail, change the temperature of a room, and make lights or fires go out
can speak any language necessary to interact with a human, including several dead or obscure languages
true form is a tarry, amorphous monster with many limbs; it sometimes gets stuck in this form or lapses into it when stressed
makes a variety of nonhuman noises, such as purring, shrieking, chattering, and snarling
doesn’t deliberately cause bad things, but misfortune tends to follow him…
personality (pre-arc):
very friendly and enthusiastic to everyone it meets
eager to please; will follow basically any commands a human gives it because it’s desperate for some kind of connection or praise. in fact sometimes it’s a little too eager and will obey instructions to a T, exactly as they’re said to it
slightly afraid of humans, acts like a people-pleaser both to hide his resentment toward them and to minimize the possibility of him getting hurt by them; has trust issues related to his past
cowers and hides when cornered or threatened; does not resist or fight back, despite being more than capable of doing so
has a mischievous streak; loves stealing, scaring people, and playing pranks; a bit cocky when doing so, as omen assumes he’s too good to get caught and thus throws caution to the wind
perfectionist, especially when given instructions; becomes confused and panicked when instructions are unclear and contradictory
personality (post-arc):
little SHIT
becomes the owner of a grandiose (and fucked up) hotel through a series of schemes
covets and is deeply obsessed with money; gets jealous and frustrated when it sees other people become wealthy or improve their financial situation, because it deems them unworthy and views them as competition
will fuck someone over for all they’re worth; unlike his mentor, he isn’t afraid to cut corners and to scam, cheat, and lie his way to success
snarky and condescending; fully embraces his resentment toward humans, views them only as a means to an end; to him, there’s no such thing as an innocent human, and to say so is hypocritical. he believes that humans aren’t good for anything aside from what they can do for him— and that they’re so horrible that they deserve his treatment of them
also unlike its mentor, omen is of the affably evil variety. it’s sarcastic and it’s vitriolic, but it’s not grumpy. it remains some of its old friendly demeanor and enjoys talking with anyone who can banter with it, even if it’s frustrated or annoyed with them. omen often uses charisma to its advantage
deep down, there’s still that vulnerable core, the person omen was to begin with. because omen is convinced that money, property, and standoffishness are the only means by which it can truly be safe, though, it’s wrapped that core in like 50 layers of barbed wire and electric fence
(here’s post-arc omen, by the way!)
Tumblr media
backstory:
has no memory of any sort of family, human or otherwise; omen only remembers waking up one day in the woods, hungry, cold, and alone. for a while omen survived like this, until it caught the scent of roasting meat, saw a light in the forest, and decided to investigate
this would turn into the first of many instances of omen being rejected, attacked, or otherwise treated with hostility by humans— largely because of his appearance and mannerisms. he has spent much of his life traveling from place to place in the forms of various animals, searching for food and shelter and leaving only when he’s been pushed out. this is how, over time, omen made his way to london. almost all of his time there has been spent in the form of a cat or a crow, and he’s narrowly dodged several incidents.
omen met ebenezer, its mentor, when prudence captured it in its cat form and dragged it into the house. ebenezer reluctantly nursed the injured cat back to health, only to be shocked and horrified when it took humanoid form and begged him to let it repay him. a lot of confused screaming and one contract later, and the rest was history

Tumblr media
Naori harbours a secret that only she, her close family and Naka know about, something that quite literally changed every part of her life from the age of 10 and onwards. For a long time, during her younger years, Naori would act rather differently to the others around her- always coming off as slightly strange. As a result, she was relentlessly bullied for her unique mannerisms and the way she chose to express herself. It only truly stopped when she embraced how she felt and began to dress more effeminately.
She has never felt freer than she did the moment that she locked her eyes on the image in the mirror of her room- dressed in a beautiful lilac kimono, hair done up and pinned with her mother's ornate hairpins and her makeup done to perfection by her own hand. It was at that moment that she felt less like Tomo Uchiha- first son of Hikaku Uchiha- and more like Naori Uchiha- only daughter of Hikaku Uchiha. She was the very person that she'd wished to be her whole life.
That night had been the night of a summer festival in Uchinada- one that she had originally had no intention of attending. That changed when she saw herself in the mirror- it steeled her resolve to finally be herself. She gained the confidence to be her true self outside of the confines of her room- a feat that only emboldened her further to finally confess how she felt to her father and brother.
Over time, people began to forget who she had been and began merely referring to her by her chosen name. This allowed her previous life to slip into obscurity and for her to fully commit to her current self. She underwent some surgery for her chest- though she has yet to get bottom surgery due to the risks she faces. However, the mere fact that she even has had top surgery was a great relief to the young woman, who finally felt more like a woman than she ever had before.
Still, sometimes someone slips and she gets deadnamed by someone who didn't know any better- mostly children or elderly Uchiha who forgot her current self isn't Tomo Uchiha. In any capacity, as long as it wasn't malicious, Naori forgives easily and takes the time to correct the mistake. In the rare case that it was malicious, Naori tends to get into a fight with them and usually wins before silently crying to Naka about it later. An act that she and he never talk about outside of their private rooms.
