Who knows Yor 🤷‍♀️

While I drew my last Spy x Family fanart as wholesome as I could, here we're looking at the family from a less than holy perspective. Once again, this is my own AU for the family's future and as usual my own OCs are featured here as well. As for the elements in the background, whether they fit the sins or not, they're more tailored to the character's color designations here. Now, these sins don't need to define the characters as a whole nor exhibited 24/7, though they will never fully disappear either. But needless to say, if they haven't displayed these sins in canon yet, my AU simply does what I please. I don't want to go into too much detail for each but I'll try to focus on what fuels their vices. 1. Loid - Sloth Going forward in time, even after his promotions, Loid would grow more and more jaded with his job, tire more easily, and take work less seriously (I may not know a spy's whole job description, but consequences are not hard to imagine...) If he could, he'd leave most of the field work to his trainees. More than anything, he just wishes to spend more time with the family he's now committed to (much in contrast to when the Forger family was just a means to an end), even though none of the other Forgers really cut him any slack either. 2. Yor - Lust As much as she loves her husband in my AU, to Yor, intimacy with Loid is also very much an addictive high for her. There is virtually no saying 'no' to her or she'd be rampant. And when they really need to wait for any reason (such as Loid working overseas), Yor may even take her frustration out on her assassination targets. But the root of her inordinate desires comes from the dangerous natures of both her and Loid's jobs; Yor was often afraid of losing any of her family members or not being able to be with them herself. To this end, she wants to relish every sex with Loid to the fullest while also drowning her worries (she no longer drinks, but he's more than a replacement). 3. Yuri - Wrath Of course, this stems from a desire to protect (or potentially avenge) his sister. Anyone who may even remotely be a threat to her is someone Yuri would want to punish as brutally as possible. However, for my AU, I'm imagining a deeper root to this besides his complex; namely, Yor protecting Yuri from thugs or other dangerous opponents and getting badly injured in the process. Even after Yor recovers and Yuri would eventually avenge her, the one person Yuri could never forgive was himself, for allowing his beloved sister to get hurt. Of course, Yor would never hold it against him, but Yuri secretly fantasized about dying by her hand. Nevertheless, he would not give up on trying to make the world safer for his sister. 4. Anya - Envy While a loving and protective sister to her two new brothers, Anya not only envied them for being her adoptive parents' biological children, but also the talents they inherited from them. As far as she could tell, they seemed to have the kind of bond with their parents that she didn't think she could ever experience, no matter how much love they showered her with. Deep down, Anya wishes she could've been born to Loid and Yor by blood, as a "true daughter" to them and a "real sister" to Rafael and Lucius, such that these feelings even clouded her own feelings of self worth. It made her care less for her own psychic gifts and overlook the fact that SHE was the one who brought Loid and Yor closer together in the first place. 5. Bond - Gluttony Originally I wanted this to be the most lighthearted one of the seven, but then heavier thoughts came to me. For now I'd rather not talk about it to be honest. 6. Lucius - Greed Loid and Yor's secondborn son is a gifted engineer and arguably the Forger family's most ambitious member. Even since his infant years, Lucius wanted to own every "cool thing" he saw (irl or fiction) which expanded from gadgets and vehicles to whole places and ultimately the world. When he first learned what his parents' true jobs were, Lucius wanted to capitalize on it. He hoped Loid and Yor could be installed as WISE and Garden's leaders so that the family (especially himself) can control such a powerful spy network, deadly assassins, and eventually everyone else, starting with Westalis and Ostania (which he also wanted to converge). In the meantime, Lucius continues to hone his skills and try to create the necessary tools and machines to realize his dreams. 7. Rafael - Pride The Forgers' firstborn son. In my head, this one's a bit complicated. It begins with his pride and admiration of his parents before it branched into more. These drive Rafael to train (martial arts, mental exercises, etc.) and try to surpass the paragon he viewed his parents to be, even convincing himself that it was the reason they created him. However, while confident in the talents he inherited from Loid and Yor, Rafael also lacked a fear of death, for better or worse (e.g. dangerous exercises, fights with more experienced opponents, entering hazardous territories, etc.). And although well-meaning, Rafael would become increasingly critical of his family, to the point where you'd think *he's* the parent in the house. Altogether, Rafael despised using "human limits" as an excuse for not meeting his own exceedingly high standards for himself, believed he'd be capable of anything as long as he trained for it, had a harder time relating to more ordinary people, would sooner seek solutions to problems before talking about them, and strictly moderated how much emotion he would let out in any given scenario.

Two OCs from my Spy X Family AU whom I’ve drawn and shared a couple of times already. These two--Rafael and Lucius--are my ideas for Loid and Yor’s biological sons in the future who would have a story set 20+ years into the canon’s future. (And prior to Rafael’s conception, there are no longer any secrets between Loid, Anya, and Yor.)

I’m not a storywriter so there’s only so much I can describe. Ideally, I would’ve loved for their story to juxtaposed alongside the canon’s, alternating between arcs and masking their real family name with a forged “Aether”, until a late arc reveals they are the Forgers’ children. 

For now I’ll just list their names and key facts about them:

__

1. Rafael Forger (Age 19, born January 18) Driving Force: “Inspiration”

As a young child, Rafael idolized both his parents and fictional heroes. Dreaming of becoming similar a paragon himself, he would proactively take up martial arts training with his parents whenever time allowed. He also tailored his other hobbies--such as music and art--to help fantasize the kinds of journey he wanted to pursue. But despite being a prodigy in these fields, Rafael cares very little for a social life.

There are five things he considers to be great omens as inspired by his training (and works of fiction): (1) Waterfalls - Omen of Resilience; (2) Mountains - Omen of Triumph; (3) Full Moon - Omen of Detachment; (4) Wolves - Omen of Determination; (5) Dragon - Omen of Elegance.

Despite being naive at times, Rafael was often skeptical, if not paranoid; traits that would carry over into his job as a police detective. While diligent and reliable in his career, he is not above using violence and intimidation to extract information. Moreover, one of his motivations for becoming a detective was to keep any eye on WISE and Garden’s activities (especially the latter), both to help hide his mother’s tracks and make sure his parents aren’t wronged by their respective affiliations.

While fearless to most dangers, Rafael has a few specific fears and dreads. Similar to how his mother fears bugs, Rafael is comically terrified of slugs and worms. 

More notorious, however, is his inherent loathing of drunks, or “poison” as he believes. His family has a few different theories on where that came from, but either way it’s more instinctive than rational; even the mere topic can give him a foul mood. (Incidentally he is also deathly allergic to alcohol.) Rafael is aware of his overreactions, so he tries to keep it under wraps; he’ll usually just leave the scene. But piss him off when you’re drunk and you’ll receive a few bone fractures.

Rest assured, however, that he loves his mother unconditionally and always believes in the perfect image he had of his family as a child. Thankfully Yor quit before he was conceived, but if he were to find her drunk, Rafael would want to “save her from the poison”. Speaking of his parents, Rafael placed a blind faith on their careers, such that even questionable or darker activities would be justified (though he may still argue with them on some areas). He himself would also become extremely violent to anyone threatening his family.

In his sleep, Rafael often has dreams beautiful enough for Anya to deliberately enter them every night (her psychic powers have expanded to that by then). In contrast, when he is in a foul mood (aforementioned examples), Anya would sense a dark, cacophonic noise clouding his thoughts and even paralyzing her in fear.

__ 2. Lucius Forger (Age 13, born December 23)  Driving Force: “Ownership”

In contrast to Rafael’s admiration of heroes, Lucius was more inspired by the supervillains as a child. As soon as he learned the natures of his parents jobs, Lucius marveled at mom’s ability to kill and dad’s “info games”. And while Rafael generally inherited their parents’ more heroic traits (with an edge), Lucius got the antihero juice. For example, whereas Yor used to contemplate on killing her obstacles, Lucius would also suggest committing crimes and misdemeanors to get what he wants (though he’s more candid and less remorseful about it than his mother).

With mom and dad’s secret “badass” lives, Anya’s psychic powers, Rafael’s talents, and his own gifts, Lucius truly believes the Forgers are a power family that shouldn’t just settle for a humble life. Instead, he dreams of his family taking over the world and enjoys brainstorming comical “plans” towards that end. But more practically, Lucius does at least want his parents to be higher brass in their departments, in hopes of having both WISE and Garden under his family’s control.

While Rafael’s talents are mostly physical and artistic, Lucius is more gifted in intelligence. His passions and hobbies include video games and mechanics; i.e. he’s something of an “evil boy genius”. Needless to say, Lucius likes creating gadgets and hacking computer softwares. He has even taught himself to drive or pilot vehicles at a very young age.

Despite all these points portraying a supervillain in the making, Lucius is generally a very cheerful and optimistic boy with a mind full of jokes and wisecracks. Whenever presented with an obstacle or inconvenience, he usually just treats it as a brainteaser and finds/prepares/creates some loophole out of it. 

While a proud and loving son and brother, Lucius still loves teasing and poking fun at them, especially Loid. He will oftentimes sneak into Loid’s workplace and try to get involved in WISE’s agenda while trying to get him promoted, but even then he likes to pull pranks on everyone including his dad. Altogether, his mischief, quick thinking, and audacity make Lucius the most scolded child of the three, but also the hardest to parent or discipline (i.e. school teachers get even more headaches with him). He is slightly more intimidated by Yor’s anger, however, though she still often finds him funny and amusing.

__ Currently, Lucius supports Rafael as a detective assistant, providing with tools and methods to aid investigations. The two brothers have a bit of a straight man-comedian dynamic as well as brawn and brain. When they’re not working, their joint pastimes typically include video games, music production, table tennis, bowling, and capoeira.

Anyways, I ended up writing so much more than I had planned, so I may copy all this into a Deviantart Journal at some point (if anyone wondering why they’re seeing identical text).

Forger Family and my two OCs matched with attributes from Bleach Brave Souls. My OCs are designed to be the biological sons of Loid and Yor Forger as they appear 20 years into the canon’s future.
