"Makin' Waves!" Concept Post
🕑 Added 2023-10-23 19:00:04 +0000 UTCSo, I'm sure everyone's seen the Poll, yeah?
"Makin' Waves!" won, and honestly? I'm kinda shocked.
Totally has nothing to do with Serafall lewds, bet.
Anyway, this post here is for showing a smidgen of what you signed up for...as well as to give you lot a place to pitch ideas into my face that I may have not thought of.
This post was originally supposed to come out a few days after the Poll ended, but I ended up struggling hard on what to include here.
I wanted enough so you all get the idea, but not enough that I spoil the whole story ya know?
In the end, I said screw it, I'll put out what I put out. Don't wanna hold off on this for weeks upon weeks.
I've divided this post up into a few sections.
I've got character images and bios, a tentative peerage listing, and a bit of trivia.
And perhaps, by the end of this week, I'll have at the very least the draft for Chapter 1 as well.
Ready? Here we go!
Dramatis Personae
Laplace Sitri (The Main Character of Makin' Waves)
(Kid)
('Canon' Start)
"Born from the union between Lord Kunrex Sitri and Lady Ellaruth Sitri, the couple's second child after Serafall Leviathan, and the new Heir of the Sitri Clan. Born possessing both the Sitri Clan Trait and Stolas Clan Trait has led to Laplace focusing nigh obsessively on his Magical and Demonic Powers. His drive to improve these aspects of himself has led to the attention of the Satan Beelzebub, much to his sister's chargen. He is to be hailed as one of the Strongest Young Devils and has garnered the attention of his fellow young Devils in some...interesting ways."
Serafall Leviathan (Devil King of Foreign Affairs)
"Formerly known as Serafall Sitri, she is the first child of Lord Kunrex Sitri and Lady Ellaruth Sitri, the elder sister of Laplace Sitri, and the Devil King 'Satan Leviathan'. She was once the Heir of the Sitri Clan, having given that title up to become the Leviathan that she is today at the conclusion of the Devil Civil War centuries back. She is renowned across the Underworld as the Strongest Female Devil, surpassing even Sirzechs Lucifer's Queen, Grayfia Lucifuge, with her mutated Clan Trait that grants an incredible affinity for Ice."
Lord Kunrex Sitri (Lord of the Sitri Clan)
"He is the Father to both Serafall and Laplace, and the current Lord of House Sitri. During his time in the war, he was called what humans term a 'Punch Wizard' in the modern era. His fists, clad in torrents of fast flowing water and Demonic Power earned him renown, albeit lesser compared to his daughters. Those who knew the Lord and his daughter would remark that Kunrex was likely the one to pass down Serafall's original 'punch first, ask questions later' attitude she held for so long before the birth of her younger brother."
Lady Ellaruth Sitri (Lady Consort of the Sitri Clan)
"She is the Mother of both Serafall and Laplace, and the current Lady Consort of House Sitri. Formerly Ellaruth Stolas, she married into the Sitri Clan thousands of years ago, an act that likely saved her life as her old clan fell into ruin during the Devil Civil War. Her power, the Stolas Clan Trait of 'Ritual Magic' isn't deemed very useful in combat applications, instead being mostly used in elaborate ceremonies to restore the life to the ground and blasted battlefields of the Underworld. Nowadays, Ellaruth is critical in supporting the Sitri Clan with her Rituals, enabling the fast and healthy growth of numerous plants and herbs essential in the creation of herbal medicines for Sitri Clan Hospitals and Clinics, along with upkeeping the Clans many nature perseverations and habitats."
Fooden Dantalion (Heir of the Dantalion Clan)
(Kid)
('Canon' Start)
"The Heir of the Dantalion Clan, one of two Clan allied deeply with the Sitri Clan. A quiet child ever since he was born, as the Dantalion Clan Trait ran deeper within him than most. His Clan is renowned for being inspired by the modern creation of humans, forswearing the feudal castles and villas for modern mansions and architecture. His Clan is also known for being hordes of books and knowledge of all kinds, with the largest libraries and repositories of knowledge and history sitting within their lands, with the largest being known simply as the 'Biblioteca'. Fooden is a minor rival of Laplace of sorts, in that one another try and see who can read the most books by the time they turn 20."
Vulthie Shax (Heiress of the Shax Clan)
(Kid)
('Canon' Start)
"Heiress of the Shax Clan, one of the two Clans allied deeply to the Sitri Clan. Don't let the cute/pretty face (and large chest once she's grown) fool you, this perverted little shit is an absolute menace with the Shax Clan Trait. Her Clan generally isn't trusted as far as you can throw em', yet they picked the right side during the Devil Civil War, so here they still stand. The Shax aren't known for their lands, their holdings, their businesses, nor their wealth, instead they are known for the services they sell, to both human and Devil alike. As thieves, assassins, spies, smugglers, you name it, a Shax has probably done it. Vulthie is a little shit in Laplace's side most of the time, and fuck buddy when she inevitable gets caught. Usually on purpose. Serafall doesn't like her much, obviously."
Rias Gremory (Heiress of the Gremory Clan)
(Kid)
('Canon' Start)
"Heiress of the Gremory Clan, and although not allies by virtue of contract, marriage, or anything of the sort, her mother is deep friends with Laplace's mother. Therefore, the Gremory and Sitri are friends as well. Rias is the second child of the current Lord and Lady Consort of the Gremory Clan, the younger sister to the current Satan Lucifer. Although her Clan isn't anywhere near as wealthy as the other Clans, even the Sitri, they do hold vast territory and swaths of businesses. Their stalwart reputation as a loving Clan that treats their servants as family, and respectful and clean record when it comes to deals in the Underworld makes them a fairly attractive business partner in secular dealings by merit alone. As children born around the same time, both younger siblings to Devil Kings, Rias see's Laplace as a rival. A Devils whose nigh insane drive for power will get in her way of achieving her dream of becoming Rating Game Champion. It's a shame that her...er, fixation on certain media has skewed her perceptions as to what a rival should be, hmm?"
Sairaorg Bael (Heir of the Bael Clan)
"Heir to the Bael Clan, although it wasn't always this way. Sairaorg Bael was originally cast from his rightful position due to lacking the power intrinsic to Bael Bloodline. He would return from exile and reclaim his birthright with his fist alone. The Bael Clan is renowned as the 'Great King' generally thought of as to be the strongest Devil Pillar amongst the remaining, with its feet in a little bit of everything that makes the Underworld run. Absurdly wealthy, absurdly powerful, with it's ancient ancestor still wide awake and active to this day. Along with Laplace, Sairaorg is seen as one of the Strongest Young Devils. Is it any wonder, then, that Sairaorg sees the Sitri Clan Heir as a true rival? Born twice blessed in blood, a focus on oceanic amounts of Mystical and Demonic Power? Polar opposites. A match up for the ages."
Of course, there are others waiting in the wings that have yet to be seen...
Of course there's more. But the above are a pretty good starting point of character that will be seen.
You know, speaking of characters...
Tentative Peerage List
Mostly locked in, albeit not entirely final.
Queen: ???
Rook: Loup Garou
Rook: ???
Knight: ???
Knight: Bennia Orcus
Bishop: Valerie
Bishop: ???
Pawns: Genshirou Saji (x2, maybe 3?), ???...
Trust me when I say, it was a very hard debate between Kuroka or Valerie. But "A New Sun" already has Kuroka as part of the harem/main waifu, so, as to not be repetitive, Valerie won out.
As can be seen, the only real holdovers from Sona's Peerage are Genshirou, Bennia, and Loup. Why? Because they are the most interesting with the most potential, that's why.
Also leads to this funny situation where a lot of his peerage members end up being half breeds.
I haven't completely finished filling it out, although, I'll admit, I'm hiding certain picks here with the intention of not spoiling the story. (For instance, his Queen and Bishop I have a pretty good idea of already who will fill the slot.)
But! Feel free of offer suggestions, I'm taking both guys and girls, not gonna make the entire Peerage into a harem. That'd be way too much.
Trivia
Naming Conventions
Ishibumi, the Author of DxD, has some...interesting naming conventions. So, for the purposes of making the OC character fit more into the world, I'd tried to adhere as best as possible to them.
For instance!
Kunrex Sitri's name is fashioned the same way as Zeoticus Gremory's name is, by yoinking bits off Gundum character's names. In this case, I specifically yoinked the unused bits from Zeo's own namesakes.
Zeoticus from Zeon Daikun + Marticus Rex.
Kunrex from Zeon Daikun + Marticus Rex.
I originally tried other combinations, like Daimar, Kunmar, Marrex, and so on. Honestly, I almost settled on Dairex, but settled on Kunrex in the end.
In a similar vain, Ellaruth Sitri's name is styled after Venelana Gremory's name. In this case, simply by combining two preexisting girl names.
Vene Lana.
Ella Ruth.
Laplace's name was a bitch in a half to settle on. Sona's name is funky, it's supposed to mean "blue" to compliment Rias' "red", but no where can I find anything about this making sense. At all.
Sona's name apparently means gold, or wisdom, not blue.
But! It is taken from a blue Pokemon, in this case Wobbuffet's Japanese name, if you can believe it.
So, I settled on doing the same for Laplace, with his name taken directly from Lapras' Japanese name.
Honestly, it's almost like the perfect storm. Lapras, a blue, water-type Pokemon, who's Japanese name was in and of itself directly yoinked from some pretty smart guy.
Fooden and Vulthie's name are also derived from a Pokemon, like Latia and Iryuka's are. Albiet, Vulthie's is from the English name of the Pokemon so I didn't start both the new OC's names with "F", and so as to try and make a name that sounds feminine.
Clan Trait Origins
Although I won't say outright here what specifically each Clan Trait is, I will say that the Clan Trait's I made for Astaroth, Shax, Dantalion, and Glasya-Labolas are based off their demon's descriptions in the Ars Goetia.
Not alot of trivia, mostly because the story hasn't been written yet, and anymore that I would want to put here right now would be a bit too spoilery (for instance, the inspirations/names behind a bunch of magical stuff/spells Laplace makes.)
Maybe, once I start the story up, I'll come back and add more stuff to this section as time goes on.
Regardless, that is all I have for right now. May the discussion commence!

I hope you do continue this idea. Now I have a idea since the Mc can use ritual magic it be funny if he tried ritual magic he new from our world AKA anime bullshit you know like fate stay night with summons (Mesuline is best dragon girl/ and abbion daughter lol) and mana transfer. Fairy tail uses it for quick and powerful attack and defense magic. Then Overlord style aswell for power limit removal
