Dogs and Sparrows, a band of Humans and Monsters
ough ok ive been working on this for like 2 months anyway time to show off my ocs like a proud parent
left to right it’s tiff (human) morgana (Dullahan) art (vampire) jess (human) and zaid (ghoul).
they’re an emo punk band in the great year of 2008, and the name of their band is based on a grimm fairytale called the dog and the sparrow. I’d explain why but it’s a long story.
there’s a lot of little details and easter eggs in here that if prompted by one (1) person i’ll explain in horrific detail
anyway alt versions, click and zoom in for better resolution :)
Two important adults and a side adult who all work at Hybrid High!
Moral Nightengale (city fae/??? hybrid - she/they); the mysterious and enigmatic principal/founder of the school. Recently wed to Percy's mother.
Gulliver Dirgefall (skeleton/dullahan hybrid - he/him); a former theater lit teacher who became the vice principal. Teacher supervisor to the gsa. Married to Hyacinth!
Hyacinth Dirgefall (tabaxi/satyr hybrid - he/him); the sign language teacher at school. Married to Gulliver!
me: I should design the gems I promised!
brain: fuck you we’re finishing the wips of the two adult characters we have set aside for hybrid high.
me:
me: uh-
So yea. I’ve had these guys set aside for half a year now and FINALLY decided to line them. These two are very important staff members for the high school, being the Principal and Vice Principal respectively..... And one of them being Percy’s new step parent.
On the top we have Principal Moral Nighshade; A City Fae and.... No one’s sure. She is a hybrid, but no one really knows what of. She created the high school for hybrid children like herself many years ago, creating a safe space so children who were seen as different could be around others like them. She even set it up so on the first day students could get a pronoun pin so people knew how to identify them.
Moral used to work at a bar, for their boring summers and nights to be filled up. This is where they met a very worried-about-her-son Mrs. Hudson..... Their romance was private and whirwind, preparing to get married just over a year into their courtship. And, before Percy even met Moral.
Percy is highly suspicious of Moral and her intentions with his mother at first, as fae are regarded as dangerous and conniving by most humans. But, they become close and bond very well eventually.
Moral uses she/they pronouns, and is able to grow a beard. She’ll not shave it if it’s the weekend.
On the bottom, we have the very kind Vice Principal Gulliver Dirgefall! Widely beloved by the students, Gulliver is a chipper, friendly dullahan-skeleton hybrid who used to teach Theater Lit; where he would teach famous plays to his children. However, he quickly gained the vice principal position due to how beloved he is by all the staff, students, and parents.
He runs the Sexuality and Gender Alliance club at the school, and is a married gay man. Gulliver is a cis male and uses he/him pronouns

Fun fact! According to folklorists, all myths, fairy tales and nursery rhymes that are about some dude named Jack are talking about the same guy
What this means is, that ever single one of the following
Jack Be Nimble (who jumped over burning candles for fun)
Jack the Giant Killer (who sold his cows for magic beans then robbed and killed a giant)
Stingy Jack (who tricked the devil so many times he was banned from both afterlives)
Jack of Jack and Jill (who splattered his head open falling down a hill)
Jack o’ Lantern (the headless horseman spirit of halloween)
Jack Frost (the spirit who heralds the end of autumn and the start of winter)
Are literally the same jackass who made so many bad life choices he ended up an immortal ice dullahan with a pumpkin serving as both his head and flashlight
The Head Hunter
