Black Butler Ocs - Tumblr Posts
please talk about your ocs! (i totally didn't run to your ask box after I saw the reblog)
Will do! I've also talked about these guys and discussed a lot of their story with my buddies @eemoo1o-animoo & @sebastian-ciel-mutual-bullying (Thanks so much you two, ya'll are awesome ^^)
(Bear with me folks this is still a WIP work)
The OCs in question are a trio of demon OCsโTobias Gourmand, Napoleon Salver, and Maria DeVarreโwho all serve the owner of an inn. (Adam Sinclair is his name. And his wife is named Evangeline. "Evie" or "Eve" for short. ๐)
The Sinclair Servants are basically meant to be foils of some sort to the Phantomhive servants (Finny, Mey-Rin, and Baldroy) but they're also basically the triplet demon servants from Black Butler II if they each had their own separate personality (also if one of them was a girl lmao)
Tobias is quite chatty with whoever decided to visit the inn, but is also considered to be the one with the least "tact" out of the three. Compared to his two companions, he's quite a bit more childish and less-levelheaded, and isn't usually seen without a mug of liquor in hand. That being said, he's a tad bit more of a flirt compared to the others, very smug and savvy.
Despite my personal preference to say his name second in order, Napoleon is actually the "ringleader" of the trio. He's the one that does most of the talking when other characters (such as Ciel, Sebastian, and/or Adam) are speaking to the trio as a whole. Napoleon is especially the one who has the most interaction with Sebastian in the story (in fact part of me feels like he's at least 45% gay for Sebastian but I digress). He's also considered the most manipulative of the three, but he's usually the one letting Tobias and Maria do most of the messier work.
Maria is without a doubt the most stoic of the three (in fact most of the time she rarely says anything), and since she's a kitchen maid she's usually barely seen ever interacting with the inn guests. Despite physically appearing to be the youngest of the three (looking no older than Ciel himself) Maria is actually far more mature and level-headed than one may think (second only to Napoleon but moreso than Tobias). She's also quite skilled with knives (more specifically the bigger and heavier butcher's cleavers to contrast with Sebastian's fancy dinner cutlery), in fact if anyone were to try and act creepy with this girl, she would no doubt threaten to stab that person.
Some may interpret these three as a "weird little demon family" and they're not wrong. Me personally I interpret their relationship with each other as "roomates/siblings who are usually on the same page, have the same thoughts and mindsets, and do a lot of the same things but occasionally get on each other's nerves". Sometimes I even think of them as a silly little "clique" of demons. Above all else, however, they're partners in crime.
Now, here's how they would play into the rest of the Kuroshitsuji world (specifically how Ciel, Sebastian, & the rest of the gang would come into play).
It basically goes out like this; Ciel and Sebastian are sent by the queen to investigate this inn. The reasoning is rather to-the-point; many people who have visited this inn are usually never seen walking back out.
There's a lot of your typical Kuro arc shenanigans, but there's also a lot of interaction with Sebastian and the Sinclair servants. A lot of "demon-to-demon" interactions.
Their relationship with Sebastian is... rather complicated. I'm still unsure whether or not these three would be able to tell if Sebastian is a demon or if Seb himself even knows that they're demons yet. If so, then chances are these three see Sebastian as, well, weird.
Like, "you're telling me that guy over there fawning over a litter of kittens is a member of our species? As if." They even make a few occasional mocking jabs at his expense (much to Seb's annoyance)
Anyway, there's a planned B plot with the reapers (specifically Grell, Ron, & Will) where they see that many souls have been strangely going missing. And they are, in fact, rather pissed. Will especially is rather triggered and believes Sebastian is the one at fault here (which Sebastian himself knows is absolute bullshit because he's been dieting fasting for what? Three years straight?)
Gee I wonder if the demons who are working at the inn know about this.
I could keep going on and on, but I think it's best that I stop there for now. This story has a looooooot going on, and that's far from even the tip of the iceberg.
Either way, thank you so much for the ask! And for those who were patient enough to get to the end of my bad storytelling and infodumping, thank you for reading ๐
Okay guys real quick I'm just gonna dump about Napoleon's contract with Adamโ
Y'know how in canon, Sebastian's contract with Ciel forbids him from ever lying to him? Well, a similar thing is happening here.
Napoleon's contract with Adam forbids him from physically touching any human.
Unfortunately, it's not really enough to stop him from feeding on the poor unfortunate souls of whoever stays at their inn.
Here's where things get kinda crazy: see, Napoleon can't touch or physically harm any humans. However, (and these are mostly his words) the contract never says that he can't order his subordinates (those being Tobias and Maria) to do it for him.
After all, Napoleon is the one that humans make the contracts with, not Tobias and Maria. Therefore, the latter two don't have to follow the humans orders.
So basically summed up as:
"I'm going to punch that bitch in the face"
"Nuh uh, Napoleon, no touching. Contract, remember?"
"Very well, my lordโฆ Maria, I order you to go punch that bitch in the face."
"NOโ"
Luckily for Napoleon he can touch Sebastian all he wants cause Sebastian isn't a human therefore he's not breaking the contract yaaaaaaaaaay
I created profiles for my 4 ocs:
I have done itโ
I am so sorry if some of the text is hard to read btw lmaoโ
So I found this reference earlier
And I thought it might be a fun challenge for some artists with ocs so I'm gonna tag a bunch of people with ocs in hopes that someone will do it with theirs!
Gimme your kids, I want to learn more about them
Of course anyone who sees this and also has ocs feel free to reblog and show me yours!

Okay guys, itโs that time of day. You know what that means?
Time for another OC infodump.
Specifically about the head demon himself, Napoleon Salver.
Iโve mentioned that Napoleon (unlike Sebastian weโll get to him later) canโt stand the idea of a demon fasting. Why? Because heโs done it himself.
Napoleon used to restrain himself on how many souls he eats (โquality over quantityโ similar to Sebastianโs logic of soul consumption) however, he once got himself into a bind and nearly starved himself. Think like how you're trying to lose weight so you try to eat less and less only to end up nearly passing out due to lack of nutrients.
(Also keep in mind demons canโt starve to death like humans can. They basically start gradually losing their sanity until they reach a point of no return.)
Anyway, this plays even when Napoleon is in a contract with Adam.
See, the big difference between Napoleon and Sebastian is that:
Sebastian sees Cielโs soul as a gourmet main course heโs been working so hard to make and he doesnโt wanna eat anything beforehand or else heโll ruin his appetite.
Napoleon sees Adamโs soul as a last course. A fine dessert, one would say. It doesnโt matter to him how many souls he eats beforehand (as long as he eats enough to sustain himself) heโs just saving the best for last.
This even plays in at one point when him and Sebastian meet (when Sebastian and Ciel are investigating the inn on their mission):
Sebastian: "Hey, when was the last time you ate a soul?"
Napoleon: "Like five minutes ago. How about you?"
Sebastian: "Last time I ate? Probably... three years ago."
Napoleon: ๐ "...what."
There are other moments throughout the story where he makes an offer to his new fellow demon "tell you what, Iโll let you have the next soul of the guy who comes here" (or whatโs basically "hey man, eat with us. The foodโs on me.")
And Sebastianโs always like โNo, I told you, Iโm fasting. Iโll ruin my appetite,โ (this being Sebastian who has stated he hates other demons who gourge greedily on souls, I don't think he even likes Napoleon to begin with) and Napoleon gets more and more fed up with this pitiful excuse.
Because Napoleon basically wants to "save" Sebastian from the fate he nearly entered himself. (Which was nearly starving himself to insanity.)
TL;DR Napoleon is one gay ass son of a bitch.
Oh my god I also have a demon kid OC ๐ฎ
I do want to make my own Kuro OC... a demon child to be little sibling to Ciel when he is older-
I have finally designed our contractor folks
I give you Adam Sinclair
In case ya'll don't know or remember, he's the one who contracted Napoleon and his subordinates, and the one who runs the inn the demons are working at.
Only thing is I'm still trying to figure out why he contracted a demon and what he'll get in exchange for his soul.
Link to Picrew below cut
I swear, creating the contract itself is the hardest part of creating Demon OCs
But I do have a brief basis for what Adam's contract with Napoleon could be.
Basically, Adam was declared the prime suspect of a heinous crime he did not commit. So once he meets Napoleon, he makes a deal with him to help track down the person who framed him. And once his name is cleared, his soul would be eaten.
I'm currently trying to work out how that plotline would be interwoven with the story arc with Sebastian and Ciel trying to figure out the disappearances of the people who stay at the inn Adam and the other OCs work at.
I'll probably figure something out, but if anyone has any ideas, feel free to share
Super random Black Butler OC dump Part 1 (probably, maybe)
Feat. The 3D (that stands for โthree demonsโ)
The dynamic of these three is basically โfather raising two kids and he doesnโt restrict them like at all cause he likes when it pisses other people offโ or some shit (itโs not two dads taking care of a kid, itโs a dad taking care of two kids btw lmao)
Adam is always panicking whenever heโs out with these three in public, like heโs always thinking about the three of them possibly blowing their cover as demons.
Heโs especially like this with Maria the most. Heโll glance at her and go โoh her? Thatโs my daughter.โ
โSir, your daughter is biting someoneโs arm offโ
โSHITโโ
Maria will eat (almost) absolutely anything.ย
Even if itโs raw.ย
Or on the ground.ย
Or in the trash.
If someone drops a tray full of food sheโll just eat it anyway
Sheโs a demon she doesnโt have to worry about digestive issues.
And neither does Tobias
Manโs quite the drinker
And thankfully demons canโt get drunk either
At least, I donโt think we can
Idk I remember seeing somewhere a panel of Sebastian with a bunch of empty wine glasses and heโs just fine
Also itโs not always noticeable
But Tobias and Maria also have these sharp ass teeth (similar to Grell but maybe even sharper than that)
Just a subtle little hint to their true demon forms
Moodboard for Napoleon. Will make ones for Tobias and Maria eventually

Just finished this art of Maria ๐
I used one of the free chibi templates on Ibis Paint X to trace the body and the dress. I had to sketch literally everything else from there, it was a pain ๐ญ
Leaked excerpt from my future story it plays exactly like this /j
(Happy pride, guys)
