Oh boi this is one of the old ones, but it feels like a heritage artifact from the golden IZ days in the part of the fandom I was in.

On the far right is my OC Tika, her original form. A crazed defected Irken, a cannibal with a feral mind.
The rest the characters of the old friend known as Invader-Sideos.
This was an illustration I made for his one-shot fic, where he gave life to The Royal Five.
Premise of the story was the Irken Empire's need to figure out why some defects became so.. depraved. And if it could be cured or at least avoided in the future.
On the specific moon used as isolated place for high security asylum prison, the top most notorious murders in the lowest level of the complex, with maximum security cell - The Royal Five.
Tika for her feral blood thirst and focus on killing children, Sirra the sadomasochist who drugged her victims into a horny rage to satisfy herself before killing them, Sideos for not only genocide of the planet he was assigned to conquer but killing off any Irken military sent to check on him, Neep a soft soul suffering from split personality that thirsts for pain and blood, and Gar, an ex military who committed such acts even the others are telling him he went too far. All in common is their tendency of murder and cannibalism, only Neep admitting regret but knows he'll do it again if let free.

This was the scene of their group therapy together, while the doctors observing them tried to find ways to understand why citizens of the Empire could go so wrong.

It leader lead to a sequel that became a large project for my pal, writing an ongoing series of the big escape from the asylum, that included cameos of every OC within that part of the fandom that would fit being stuck in such a place and want to escape.
Was never properly finished, but it sure tied a lot of us together back then. So I'm very fund of this old ancient piece and the memories it brings up.

So do enjoy.
