Oh shit, I was looking for the Nova drawing Siri (my internet friend not the Apple product) did and I found this version of the group pic they drew that I colored instead. I probably have a better one but these colors are pretty close. I think Xiao’s hair starts out with less root growth initially tho. He’s bleach blond for a while (I don’t think I said specifically but he and Yan are both Han Chinese).
Fun fact: Gil really hates Asher (who appeared with Ziya on another post). Asher, as a particular kind of Guy, thinks it’s funny and mostly likes Gil and the rest of Vice Victory… but can’t stand Gil’s fuckboy socks-with-sandals bit.
In the beach town/paranormal investigator/band/coffee shop AU (yes it’s all one AU) Gil is a famous surfer/treasure hunter who owns a coffee shop and says the socks are so he’s not barefoot in the kitchen. Not sure that’s a legal workaround but he owns the place and it gets rave reviews SO… (Xiao and Yan work at the coffee shop).
Also wow you can really see how pale Memento and Freyja are in this pic… Memento was stuck in the deep sea for few thousand years so understandable… Freyja’s just kind of… a shut in lol… Freyja does have freckles if you look closely at her face, tho.
Other fun fact: out of these kids and my other main 3 OCs (including Asher and Ziya), only one of them has naturally blue eyes. Everyone else is naturally on a spectrum of gold-brown-black and Freyja’s are hazel. Some of have weird supernatural stuff going on with their eyes, but we’re talking natural here.
