They have each other. They aren't losing that.
@naffeclipse Surprise! You get both today! I realized while I was drawing that it's probably at least subconsciously inspired by this post, though I wasn't thinking of it when I planned this. I just wanted to draw hand holding 👉👈

Hey Naff! I just saw the ask about what Cryptid y/n would be and your response about a mothman one, and I present to you something I just thought would be really funny:
Following along the delicious obliviousness of the main fic, mothperson y/n just not having that sixth sense all cryptids have that lets them detect other cryptids or even demons. So they find the "abandoned animatronic" and feel bad about their vulnerability and obviously burnt state (plus are drawn to the glow of their eyes!) and approach asking if they might need help. They know this forest like the back of their hand, it would be no problem directing them somewhere a human settlement could help them!
Meanwhile the boys are internally like ?? are they not? Afraid? Why is this other supernatural entity talking so casually to a demon, can they not feel what they are?
And y/n is just like all proudly declaring how they are a very good hunter (of what they eat) and well respected in the woods and how nobody will get away with hurting them as long as the local mothperson watches over them, and smiles at them just super earnestly.
And so amused they just go along with it. Wondering when they'll eventually realize what they're dealing with. Because surely they will sense it soon, right? But then they don't, and Eclipse no longer wants them to, because this cryptid can very much fly away, and they find themselves really not wanting that to happen the more time they spend together.
Heya, babe! About this post, EEEE, I LOVE THIS! Oblivious Y/N strikes again in mothperson form!
That's so sweet to think of the possessed animatronic's pale eyes becoming a familiar and welcomed light in mothperson Y/N's life, and how easily they seek out the boys with their glow. It's also a bit of a strange role reversal with Y/N sleeping during the day and fluttering around at night.
Gah, I love the boys' confusion, too! They're not necessarily concerned or hostile towards another cryptid, expecting this one to become aware that they're much, much more dangerous than what their vessel appears as, so they certainly don't expect this polite offer from the mothperson to help them hide in the woods.
Then promising to protect them. That's new. Eclipse has no idea how to take the rather sweet cryptid except to follow them into their woods.
I imagine there are a few moments where the boys almost trip themselves up when Y/N returns with a varmint for their dinner and happens to not eat the heart. Either Sun or Moon almost comments about them wasting the best part of the innards before—whoops gotta keep that to themselves.
OH OH AND ANOTHER THING mothperson Y/N believes that they're the tol in the relationship friendship because the animatronic doesn't pass their feathery antennae in height, only to be proved very very wrong when Eclipse finally emerges and is taller than them.

Memories of Us Chapter 2 || Masterlist
Literally posting the first two parts and then passing out lol, same tags as last time, same inspiration from this art by @cheesy-cryptid , same everything basically.
Summary: Octavia goes to a place in the Upper City to meet her boss. Turns out it's extremely secretive.
Oh one thing I forgot to mention. The chapter titles are based on the song "I Caught Fire" by The Used.
Thanks again to my babe @micropoe10 for being my beta reader and best friend ❤️
also tagging @satanicspinosaurus because they're the first person to ask to be tagged (!!!!) Thanks for the support guys, it means A LOT.
Chapter 2
Could stay a while
Gale gave Octavia the very secret directions to the restaurant she was due to meet her boss in. It was a fancy place in the Upper City, secluded enough for only those who knew where it was could find it. Looking down at the piece of paper with the code to enter, she knocks on the door. A voice comes out of nowhere, loudly asking, "PASSWORD?" Nervously she speaks the phrase on the paper, instantly the door opens and the piece of paper is gone. "Wow, they really don't want people to know about this place huh?" "I would assume not, some of us do pay quite a bit of gold for the exclusivity." A haughty voice speaks out from behind her, a blush quickly develops on her cheeks as the realization crosses that she was not alone.
She quickly stammers "Oh it's my first time here, I was more surprised than anything." She chuckles at her own expense. The man behind her is cloaked in the light of a street lantern directly behind them. "Well, I hope you enjoy it, they say the first time is incredibly memorable..." The last word spills out with a sultry drawl, he walks past her and into the hallway, eventually fading into the darkness of the restaurant. The blush on her cheeks has definitely covered her entire face now.
Octavia takes a few breaths. Then steps into the dark restaurant. The interior of the establishment is lowly lit, almost completely dark, save for the candles on the tables and sconces on the walls. She looks around to the other patrons, all impeccably dressed in clothes that look like they would cost at least 5 months pay.
"This way, miss." Octavia is led to a private room towards the back, the waitress knocks on the red wooden door in front of them, a voice that sounds like Gale's calls out "I think she's here, let me go greet her!"
Gale comes out in a much nicer suit than his usual one, slightly fitted for a guy who you only see in cardigans and loose sweaters. "Okay, now I definitely feel underdressed, is there a dress code here that someone forgot to inform me about?" Octavia jokes, "Because if I had a reason to go buy a new wardrobe with my graduation money, it would've been good to know."
Gale looks at her slightly confused until he notices her wearing practically the same outfit she wore to work, the only exception was her blazer, it wasn't the one he accidentally spilled ink on when they were restoring some letters together earlier in the day.
He sucks his teeth and apologizes "I absolutely did, and I'm not sure how to make up for it yet, but I promise you look wonderful. You have your talents and expertise to speak for themselves! No amount of lavish clothing can eclipse that. Besides, Mr. Ancunin trusts me much more than anyone else. He and I have talked at great lengths about your impressive knowledge of the Heroes of Baldur's Gate. He's made remarks about it, seeming like you've been there yourself!" He laughs as he leads her into the room, would this be the time to tell him her family history?
As she approaches the table, a shadow becomes clear and his form begins to take shape. His hands are the first thing she sees come out from behind the cloak around his shoulders; slender fingers with a spider like length, lustrous skin like pearls, one reaches out and takes hers in a handshake. "My my..Made your way over from outside, darling?" That voice sounded like the man from outside."How was the walk over? Not too far in the back are we? I wanted to make sure our meeting was nice and private."
The waitress who led her down to this room lights a few more candles, replacing some that had apparently gone out. The barely lit room fills with warm yellow light and her boss becomes more illuminated by each one.
Octavia notices his hair first, a mop of silver and white styled into a messy tousle of curls. His ears were pointed, the few rings of hair that fell on them perfectly encircled around as if on purpose. She noticed something particular though, he was wearing sunglasses inside? In this dark place?
Before she even knew, she asked "Why are you wearing sunglasses inside at night?" Taken aback, her boss laughs loudly as he looks towards Gale, "You were right, cheeky little pup, isn't she?"
His grin grows mischievously. Gale shrugs and pulls the chair out in front of him, he motions Octavia to sit. She makes her way over and takes her spot, Gale sitting to her right. "Miss Octavia, I would be honored to finally introduce you to our esteemed head curator of the Baldur's Gate Museum of History, Mr. Astarion Ancunin."
Gale flourishes the last bit by extending his arm out to his right, Astarion dips his head in a small bow. "I do apologize for the last minute absence, my dear" he sips his wine and places the glass down.
"I believe you're both reaping the benefits of that excursion in the hard work you've been doing. Which is the cause of this little outing I've set up for the three of us. Obviously, I wanted to meet you beforehand, Octavia, but some things have to be sacrificed for the good of preservation. I take this work very seriously, I want to ensure these priceless artifacts don't get lost to time, as some things have before." He takes a slow sip of his wine, "I believe Gale has told you about his little interest in our Szarr art collection?"
Astarion playfully asks Octavia, as he turns to Gale, a devilish smile on his face, sipping more wine. "He has, actually, but I asked." she answers "Really? And what do you make of this mystery subject? You must have a theory, yes?" He places a hand under his chin, turning to look at her behind those dark lenses.
Octavia feels the same chill she felt when she first looked at the painting on the wall. She gulps,"Uh not yet, but I'm curious as well...the subject looks like a male elf, maybe about 40? No more than 100 it seems..."
She trails off a little, looking down at the table. "Whomever they were, they seem important somehow, like they were a favorite or something? A favored consort, possibly? I'm hoping that after Gale and I are done with this project, we may be able to find out?" She fidgets with her fingers a little under the table, hearing a pleased hum she straightens up and looks to Gale. He has a giant smile on his face, and gives her a reassuring nod.
A silence falls on the table as they turn to look at Astarion, his eyebrows come together.. he seems angry, perhaps annoyed, was he upset at her speculation? Her heart was in her throat, where was the waitress? She needed water and quick- "Why do you think that?" Astarion asks pointedly, taking a more prominent drink of his wine. "Why do you think that one is favored?"
Octavia feels a lump at her throat, she swallows and answers "They're in a lot of paintings in the gallery...I noticed them in at least a dozen...in the forefront of four, the background of 6...the main subject of two..it's quite a lot for someone who doesn't matter.." She hears a soft huff, not annoyed this time. "Interesting. Most people say that he's pretty or gorgeous or go on about his beautiful body, but you focused on the importance of the subject. I admire your insight, Octavia. I see why Gale tipped the scales for you."

I just remembered all my older AUs. I haven't talked about them. Because well. They're not TSAMS. They're just standard security breach DCA. I've already gone on little tirades about these guys. And technically you're supposed to find out more about them in the RBB adventures of the cube. But since no one's interested in that, perhaps you guys would like if I just went on a tirade.
Down below the poll Is this shortest versions of the descriptions I have.
mechanical medic AU- story focused.
(Not in poll, But one of my lesser known AUs)
Ralph the Repair Dragon works as a moving parts and service. But is haunted by 3 fragmented souls of mechanics that died in the Plex. Sun n Moon struggle to get the medical mechanic animatronic to leave them alone.
Purrfect Thief- story focused.
you are a shape-shifting cat. You work with The gang Lord Eclipse but live as a house cat with the detectives Sun and Moon. You are an informant with the spiders web. A info company owned by DJ. Life has been simple and happy. But on the horizon a pack of dogs is ready to ruin that simple life.
Saving Waves- story focused
a sun n moon mer story. Were sun n moon were once in our lab/mer fighting facility. They are saved by a rehab facility and have to learn how to be normal Mer again. Also following the other side of the family. Who are trying to get pesky humans to stay out of their wild waters.
Warehouse AU- story / ask focused.
after the fire story were the dca, Freddy, DJ, foxy and Bonnie are moved to a big werehouse (owned by a y/n) is modified into a mini Plex (honestly more like a side road arcade that's bigger). And the dca has to relearn how to function with the band.
Rusty wheels- ask focused (lots of lore though)
a apocalypse au were a nanite Afton virus infects the world. It's cyberpunk with a rustic feel. Y/N has a big truck sized motorcycle thing and finds sun n moon. And drags them in their attempts of adventure and survival.
Cryptid eater- story / ask focus.
a Sun and Moon are Hunters story but you are a creature that eats vampires and werewolves and things like such. And the story takes place with you trying to convince them that you're on their side.
Warehouse Daycare- ask focused
a version of the warehouse AU where it's only sun n moon. The werehouse is smaller and they grow a closer relationship with y/n and a emotional support cat.
Stop you silly siren- ask focused
suns a tired Pirate. moons a silly siren. Eclipse is an angry sea captain. Popped in my head. want to see were it leads.
Creature dca- I made it for fun.
a random look for sun n moon. Has flip floped between being and basic non animatronic form to fey creatures that deal with changelings and guardian God entities.
Star foolery- a word for silly situations with no lore ties.
basic place for me to draw the dca in different situations. no major story but has lore. does occur during after and before in dca history

Watched Transformers Rise of the Beasts yesterday so why not have two Transformers flavored Trollhunters scenarios?
Troll or More?
Jim is a Cybertronian that accidentally ends up on Earth during the Arthurian Period when he was just a Sparkling. The misplaced child scans a peculiar depiction of a troll to serve as his beast mode. Jim thinks he's one since they're the only species close to him in retrospect. I.e made of inorganic material such as stone even though he's metal.
Depiction is Beast Jim in design since it honestly feels perfect for this scenario albeit with some minor changes like his hair being Troll Jim's in a more mullet like mane. His armor plating resembles a kilt, arm brace like gauntlets that conceal blades on the side, his spikes are actually pieces to collapsible saber and bow. The drawing in this scenario is actually a jab at King Arthur for his inhuman cruelty towards magic and magical folk.
Jim's true form resembles canon Troll Jim even to his plates mimicking the Eclipse armor albeit dark blue in color instead of black. He usually stays in beast form since it's better to navigate smaller places than constantly crouching or crawling in normal form.
There are shared traits between both. Jim's horns have hollow tips that shoot out smoke to even fire depending on his temper or if he uses a lot of energy. His later vehicle form added tires to the elbows and thighs, car doors for bladed shoulder pad, while the chest plate now has blacked out windows that faintly show the glow of Jim's spark.
Jim doesn't really fit in with the locals as many saw him to be unnatural. Even trolls who either fled or at worst chased the poor boy away with extreme violence. There is one, well, two people who weren't afraid: Douxie and Archie.
Both eventually bump into each other. An encounter that leads to a powerful brotherly bond between the three. One day, they find out Jim can not only survive on a mysterious energy(Energon) but he can live off of ambient magic in the air. Things are good until Merlin discovers the Cybertronian and chases him away much to the other two's horror upon finding out later.
Jim sneaks onto a boat that leads to what would be North America. From there, he became a roaming vagabond who travels across the two continents. Jim inspired plenty of legends or cryptid sightings by accident but his most well-known being the "Night Hauler".
A car carrier type truck that appears at night and has the visage of a monster in the driver seat. Some reports said a large 'beast' rides on the back waiting to hitch a unlucky car for a trip to hell. This was Jim being a little shit as someone tried to break into him once. He just copied a normal one car tow truck though his Beast Alt gave this form some monstrous flairs.
Jim ends up in Arcadia 10 years before the events of Trollhunters. He hides out at a car business and is accidentally purchased by one Barbara Lake. She, of course, discovers her new truck actually being a teenage Cybertronian when Jim decides to give the woman the ride of her life.
The common (unspoken) tradition throughout the series where the unlucky human gets taken on an extreme ride by their soon to be protector. Barbara's was no exception as Jim took her EVERYWHERE. Across the roads, over bridges and even down a rocky cliff like a literal highway to hell.
He expected to scare Barbara off with this but he gets scolded instead. Even when Jim goes into Beast mode in an attempt to intimidate her, she just gives him the mom look. Curiosity overriding common sense leads to the young Cybertronian to become Barbara's protector.
Jim won't be the Trollhunter despite how funny that will be. It's Strickler as our robot boy is completely unaware about trolls being in Arcadia. The soon to be Avocado Dad is trying to figure out what to do during a date and accidentally discovers his girlfriend's car is alive. Jim still befriends Toby and gets adopted by everyone's favorite doctor.
What is different is that he reunites with Douxie who also gets brought into the Lake Family alongside Archie. Jim still a professional chef as the house was remodeled to have taller ceilings then just be reinforced alongside the stairs. Plus he's very stubborn even when he kept shattering eggs at the beginning. The boy is gonna take care of his human mother and new siblings, damnit!
Will any other Cybertronians show up? Yes but probably after Trollhunters or during S3. No clashes between Autobots and Decepticons until later however Jim does meet an Autobot that brings a startlingly revelation.
Overall one hell of a ride from start to finish. What continuity I will use is unknown though. 🤔
My Motorcycle Is A Robot
When Jim is six years old, a friend of his mom drops off a strange black and gold motorcycle as a gift. At first Barbara didn't want it until she figures it could be Jim's when he gets his driver's license. (In California, the lowest driving age is sixteen with the right requirements.)
On one fateful night, Jim and his best friend find out the motorcycle is actually a Autobot by the name of Prowl. (Yes! It's Prowl from Transformer Animated! He ended up in the Trollhuntersverse after the series finale for the show.)
The three become friends with the ninja becoming the protector for both families. Barbara doesn't find out about Prowl until she is chosen to be the next Trollhunter. Jim had accidentally eavesdropped on her first encounter with Blinky and AAARRRGGHH.
Thus he becomes a vigilante to help his mom albeit with Toby immediately following alongside Prowl. Although the cat is out of the bag when Nomura comes over to assassinate Jim. (Both boys sneak into the museum like in canon but to retrieve Prowl's keepsake than take out goblins.)
The Cybertronian and Draal bump into each other as they go to repel the Changeling assassin. Can I just say it was completely awkward between everyone once they could discuss the massive revelation in safety? At least the three are now part of the team.
Draal gets adopted alongside Prowl by Barbara since the two are still considered 'young' despite the vast difference in age. Jim ends up becoming half troll as he dives after his mother in the 'House Divided' episode. Merlin had exploited her love towards her three sons so she follows through with it.
(Prowl shows up instead of Draal so he avoids the brainwashing and canon death. The Cybertronian knows what his troll brother's mindset would lead to disaster without any interference. Angor Rot falls under Gunmar's command early to make up for the change.)
Like with Troll or More, Autobots alongside Decepticons will show up. When it happens is most likely during the Eternal Night with just an Autobot. I don't know which continuity though as much as I love a reunion for Prowl and his old companions, a fresh start would be better.
It's either the movieverse set up by Bumblebee, Transformers Cybertron, Prime albeit with certain parts cut off or something else since I haven't watched any new Transformers yet.
That's it for now! Until next time folks, Autobots roll out and I'll see you back in Arcadia! Here's Prowl, w/o his keepsake Yokotron's Helmet, from Transformers Animated for anyone who hasn't seen the show!

Was daydreaming bout a fnaf demon au at work, and so far the highlights of it are
Faz is a company that specializes in identifying and dealing with demons and other supernatural beings
Actual on paper terms in the company: a Fazorcist, and a Fazorcism
Chica can switch between her demon form, and a straight up normal looking hen.
She eats anything and everything in sight
Faz locks up entities scp style, but like simple and cheap, cause it’s Faz
Sun and moon are demons that share a body based on the day and night schedule of wherever they currently reside in
Sun has a more slick and reptilian appearance, while Moon looks like a mix of freaky cryptid in the woods, and mandela catalogue
I can’t think up an appearance for Monty, except he’s feels eldritchy
Ghost children are safe and all share a room together where they can all just chill, puppet watches over them :]]]
Anything purple is not allowed in that room under any circumstances
Highest level beings live in the very bottom of the main HQ, like Springtrap, Eclipse, and the Nightmares.
The little caution bots in security breach are little mischievous kreachers that are at most a mild inconvenience, so they’re allowed to roam freely (they also like to clean, so Faz doesn’t have to hire as many cleaning staff)

Cryptid au
What is the collector in this au and what role does Caleb (wittabro’s name) play
not sure, actually! really, they could fit in just as they were. a child of the stars who got bored and became a god. but their vibe is far more astrology-like and more like the personification of the space and stars, rather than a kid with a star-theme. also probably a god of the moon/eclipse, just for funsies. nobody is entirely sure what hes about
Caleb is a whole game changer. I think I may just change Hunter to a changeling, same with all the other golden guards. maybe Belos fucked around and made some deals with the fae and continues to nab changeling kids to try and form into the new Caleb. so, Caleb himself is pure human, along with Belos, but he fell in love with some cryptid. probably not the exact same as what Eda is, but somewhat similar enough.
I do think it'd be funny as hell if Belos was actually stealing changeling kids tho. he played the fae at their own game. oh, you steal human children and replace them with your own? well, how about I steal YOUR kids and give you NOTHING? get fucked.
as you can imagine, whether or not he's made any deals with them, the fae don't like him. but not enough to do a lot about him, because most of the fae don't have this funny little thing called Empathy. also, they can tell he's a fucked up dude with some weird goopy monster curse (curtesy of Caleb's lover) and they're fascinated by whatever messed up thing he was gonna do next. like watching a train wreck, but you're standing right next to the rails.

Mashing photographer y/n and Hunter y/n together in my brain to get
Cryptozoologist y/n
Cryptids are real and they are going to document all of them
Cryptozoologist Y/N encounters Sun, Moon, and Eclipse as they are all various forms of cryptids and maybe they tag along with Y/N's documentation because you're really cute also there are a lot of dangerous cryptids out there, so you have to be careful and they will make sure you are!

Why Waltz in E-Major, Op. 15 “Moon Waltz” by Cojum Dip is THE definitive Chris "Cryptid" Elman song (a rant) (as requested)
i.e. the song that first made me make a chris playlist; there are other equally fitting songs I found later, but this one is iconic. rant for @thesternest. long post warning
Weird. He's a weird little guy. Creacher. Any absurd song that sounds kinda staticky like you're being microwaved is an instant candidate.
the amv I have in my head
The image we see of you has been Just a little late There is no atmosphere To wear down any sharpness It's not how long you wait
"The image we see of you has been / Just a little late": Chris in front of the screen, with Lab Rat's recorded instructions playing. He's all about having his identity displaced in time - he was Lab Rat, Lab Rat thought he still would be the same person (or would become him again), but as Dr. Yamada observes, there's a disconnect.
"It's not how long you wait": I have a vivid shot in my head of him facing away from the camera, starting as his apocalypse-self, growing and flickering between different creature forms. He didn't find synergy or integration between his identities and goals, even with two years of time. Alternatively, this shot could be flickering between different moon phases, or different celestial bodies - I wanted this AMV to represent pre-download-apocalypse-clone, 'Chris' in canon, and Lab Rat with celestial bodies, moon and sun definitely in there, I just need a third.
Synodic season To come out of hiding Why'd it take so long? Inching out of orbit dividing Where did I go wrong?
"Synodic season" - conjunction, alignment of celestial bodies. The plan to take over an Earth brings his different sets of priorities/identity facets in harmony, with a singular goal. Imagery? Solar eclipse!!
"Why'd it take so long?" again, yeah, he's just frustrated with how long it's taking to get a self he wants to live as. fuckin mood. this is canon iirc with his transformations, "every mutation is a step away from being this" or whatever he says to Amy - you betcha he was annoyed that he had to lie low and pretend to be a regular kid instead of going full mad scientist Glorious Evolution monster transform.
"Where did I go wrong?" This is where I slip into headcanon/AU, because I only read part way through Ward. I think that even taking over a planet was not fulfilling for him; either in terms of satisfying his Imperatives, or on a more personal level. The only support I have is the time I skipped forwards to a chapter where Breakthrough meets up with a delegate from Shin, trying to find out more about chris' deal, and his behaviour in that chapter strikes me as very defensive. But yeah; he's having his "oh, damn, I fucked up" moment. His "And in that moment, he experienced the greatest triumph of his life. And he was terrified.", to quote my other most rancid and horrible problematic fave.
Visuals-wise... well, an eclipse is not true harmony of two celestial bodies. It's one eclipsing the other.
A wise woman said I'm alive Nobody's ever told her she's wrong A paella of space-talking jive I'm as alive as her beard is long
the ultimate disconnected from life and humanity dude. you betcha he doesn't identify with Living in a conventional sense - and furthermore feels like he's trapped in a facade of life and humanity, which no one will own up to and admit ("nobody's ever told her she's wrong"). The "wise woman" here could work as Yamada or Victoria, and you betcha he'd go [pissy 13 year old voice] bullshit but in a derisive trying-to-be-fancy way like this if either of them sat him down and was like. You're alive, you're a human. Hell, that basically IS what Yamada says to him in his interlude - you're a kid, you need a place to live and human companionship - and he Does (TM) react kinda like that.
I also feel like the surreally upbeat depictions of injury, damage and death fit him. "Twirling moon dust abound / Lung destruction is starting"; yeah, he would enthusiastically describe the timeline of your medical degradation as you Died in the Space Death Pit.

I've been thinking about my cryptid Hunter AU. It's based on standard security breach. With the DCA of course. To play it out short as possible.
It is a world where Sun and Moon are cryptid hunters. Specifically for vampires and werewolves. Y/N is another hunter. They're a bit unique though. They are a cryptid eater. A bear, smilodon, wolf, monster thing that has to eat other cryptids for food. Despite being a cryptid yourself you're hanging around hunters because you share the same goals. Kill cryptids. Then of course there's a bunch of shenanigree. But this is the main concept.
I'm going to go into more detail now. A lot of it is just going to be repeating with a lot more words. Plus a tiny bit of story? It was a very wild story.
So to start. Where and why do cryptid eaters exist? We were basically made by the Faye gods so they could balance out the other cryptids. Cryptid eaters were basically made to help hunters. Unfortunately the hunter's misunderstood. Since they are cryptid, they thought they would be like any other evil cryptid. So they hunted the cryptid eaters into persecution. Only a few select villages realize the cryptid eaters true meaning. Cryptid eaters are almost extinct.
Onto the description of a cryptid eater. Cryptid eaters are interesting? In order to stop the prosecution of their species faye gods allowed them the ability to shape-shift to a human form. But their main form is out of a beast. You're going to take a smilodon, give it bear paws. Fangs like a cobras. A long a wolf like tail. And make it huge. Through those fangs the cryptid eater drinks the blood of cryptids they usually have a long stripe on the side of the body that basically shows how full they are. Appearing full-blown red when full, and fully blue when starving. Their eyes share this color change. Although it usually comes out as purple. Cryptid eater can also manifest wings. These are bat-like in composition.
Now of course they are a cryptid. Which means they get an adversion to something. No it is not metal, garlic, or holy symbols. What hurts them is water. Of any kind. Whether that be rainwater, holy water, or even the water contained in ale. They also cannot pass bodies of water. They bridge can somewhat suffice. Although it makes them queasy. A boat does not though. It has to be a land bridge. This adversion of water can be somewhat nullified in their human form. Given that they're fur transforms into a coat. It still feels them with an overwhelming sense of unused and a general weakness.
Now that we've gone over what a cryptid eater is. We can go over What the lovely DCAs are doing.
First of all there is eclipse. Eclipse is basically the father of Sun and Moon. Splitting up his training and code into them. Eclipse was a fairly good hunter of both werewolves and vampires. Plus whatever other creatures he came across. Sun and Moon are split between this. Sun is fantastic at hunting vampires. Moon is good at hunting werewolves. Both of them are somewhat good at fighting other creatures. At the beginning of Y/N knows Eclipse is retiring. Leaving his hunting job to his new sons.
Now of course being a cryptid eater means that Y/N has quite a hefty amount of heads behind them. They are considered the best hunter next to Eclipse. So when eclipse retires Sun and Moon are ready to take his place. But they got to be Y/N first. Which isn't exactly easy. Given that they are a cryptid eater, and in all terminology, their livelihood. So the two boys are quick to pick up the highest bounty and go hunting. Which gets them into a spic of trouble. Some trouble Y/N has to help them from.
This basically repeats a couple times. Enough times that Y/N knows to just accompany the boys. Whether that be in their cryptid eater form or they're human one. Even if they don't want help.
It's not on unfortunate situation happens where Y/N gets caught up in the rain. Seeking the closest shelter they go to Sun and Moon's house. They take them in although they are really confused why they won't just walk out in the rain. Y/N of course gives no answers. Although the two demand that they get to have a peek at Y/Ns house. Which they agree to do to encroaching upon there home.
Y/Ns house is a hunter's paradise. There are human weaponry everywhere. Plus there are a bunch of trophies. Teeth, meat, pelts, horns, wings, and any other body part you can think of. Y/N of course keeps them out of the place where they keep the living cryptids. The ones they use for a quick snack or food if necessary. The boys are thoroughly intrigued. And basically decide to ask Y/N to join their group. Which Y/N would take if it wasn't for the fact they were a cryptid eater. So they unfortunately decline. Playing it out as a competition.
Then of course we get to another random plot driven part. The werewolf invasion. Basically a bunch of werewolf packs go together underneath one pack to snuff out the cryptid eater. Which is when the city learns that they have a cryptid eater. Which again humans believe are just as evil. This causes a lot of problems. Mostly in the fact that Y/N has to defend their village from the constant werewolf attacks. Which usually means shifting due to the fact that werewolves are stronger.
With YN suddenly becoming more tired randomly Moon starts to get suspicious. Although those suspicions are answered fairly quickly when the hunters guild is basically attacked. Y/N was there and the werewolves sniff them out. Basically desecrating the entire village just to do so. Y/N shifts into their cryptid eater form to protect their hunter friends. There is of course a lot of confusion due to the fact that one of their friends turned out to be a cryptid. The cryptid that is killing the other cryptids nonetheless. But sun and moon decide to put the bias aside to help Wayne draw the werewolves away from the village.
They succeed to basically draw the werewolves away. Enough that the village can actually do a proper evacuation. Unfortunately they meet up at a river. There is no near nearby bridge. So Y/N is stuck on one side and sun and moon can cross to the other. Sun and Moon safely on the other side while Y/N fights to death with the werewolves. Of course there is a cinematic draw where they don't actually die. Sun and Moon are basically able to help Y/N to the point that they don't perish due to werewolves. Unfortunately their secret is out. And Y/N has to seek shelter elsewhere.
Sun and Moon decide to travel with them to find a new home. Which leads into a lot of where the story went way off track. I don't dislike this part of the story. It's just a little crazy? Really fictitious? Doesn't follow the original storyline at all? Either way.
Basically after living on the range for a couple days they find this town. This is one of the only towns where crypted eaters are actually treated correctly. Unfortunately they're overly treated correctly. They are treated as gods and the entire village treats Y/N the same. This is very radically different and makes Y/N very nervous and unsettled. The only Good thing is that this village also has other cryptid eaters. So at least they can make friends with their own kind.
And then I kind of had the story stop, because the werewolf army joined with a vampire army and started hunting the town. It basically was a repeat of the first scenario, except with a village that actually enjoyed the crypto eaters. So it came out irrelevant because there was no fighting. They just work together to get the werewolf vampire army off their backs.
And that's where the basic storyline and idea died. If you guys want to add or just play around with it you can.
