One of the possible prototypes of the Iceman is the American writer Eugene O'Neill.
Eugene O'Neill is an outstanding playwright of the 20th century, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936.
One of his most famous plays is "The Iceman Cometh".
In this play, a group of tipsy men gather in a saloon. Each of them experiences his own tragedy and suffers from disappointment. The only way for them to feel happiness and satisfaction is to get drunk and spend time in the bar.
However, Theodore "Hickey" Hickman soon appears, joyfully announcing that he no longer drinks, and encourages others to do the same. As the story progresses, Hickey becomes more and more insistent, desperately demanding that others follow his example, seeking to save them from disappointment.
His influence spreads to other characters, who begin to confess their sins and accept reality. It is implied that the only fate for the men left in the bar, stuck in their delusion, is death.
The gist of the story is that death comes to everyone, regardless of their attempts to escape reality. The character of Hickey represents the Iceman and death, encouraging people to strive for unattainable dreams in the hopes that failure will force them to face reality.
Iceman, as one of the Mafia's top assassins, also represents death.
Additionally, Hickey, who came to the bar, is acutely aware of the main conflict of each person there. Iceman is also able to detect and sense the activation of others' abilities, since in BSD, a character's abilities always reflect their main conflict.
To sum it up, it is obvious that since the Flags and Iceman in particular had no goals or dreams outside of the Port Mafia, their fate was predetermined - they were destined to die in the Port Mafia.
I take that theory from https://t.me/Lippmann_Altar
Trying to figure out names for the flags (I’m writing a highschool au and need them to have normal names)
So Lippmann is Walter Lippmann- apparently Chuuya (irl) knew a guy who was a pianist who might’ve been an inspiration for piano man???? And I saw someone say Albatross is Charles Baudelaire. I’m still looking into those two though.
If yall knew anything PLEASE TELL ME
One of the possible prototypes of Doc is the writer Michael Crichton.
John Michael Crichton is a relatively modern American writer, so I have some doubts.
Michael Crichton received his medical education at Harvard Medical School. Doc also received his higher medical education in the USA.
One of the genres in which Crichton wrote his books is "medical fiction", which further leads me to the idea that he could have served as a source of inspiration for the creation of Doc.
Michael's most famous work is the novel "Jurassic Park". This may be due to the dinosaur that one of the Flags (obviously Doc himself) used in the battle with Adam. Perhaps this dinosaur was a dilofrosaurus.
According to the book "Jurassic Park", the dilofrosaurus venom contains seven toxic enzymes. According to "Petrel", it was with the help of poison that Doc killed 800 people.
In Japanese, poison is "毒" (doku), which sounds similar to the character's nickname, which could also support the theory.

ПОЧЕМУ МЫ ЕЩЕ НЕ ОБСУДИЛИ ЭТО????
— Дазай-кун, у меня не было намерения убивать тебя. Мне действительно больно убивать ребёнка, — произнес Рандо мрачным голосом. — Но если Мори станет известно то, что известно тебе, он отправит за мной убийц. И мне придется убить их. А я хочу избежать… убийства бывших друзей. (с) “15”, глава 4. Довольно иронично, если Рэмбо говорит о Флагах… которые через год погибнут в битве с Верленом.
It was necessary to give Albatross a couple of cool prosthetics and some kind of arc reactor and leave him alive.
THE STORM IS HERE!!!!

Meister Albatross and Weapon Chuuya!
I’ll go more into the details of Stormbringer in this AU later, but in Chuuya’s first year at PM Academy he met the Flags, who he ended up teaming up with quite often! (At least, when he wasn’t with Dazai.)
I’m interested

I actually love how Kōyō's right eye is specifically covered and not her left because the right eye is mostly believed to be "good" or to represent "Heaven." While the left eye is to represent the "devil" or "hell." This is again connected to connected to Kōyō's beliefs on the world itself. When we see the panel of when Kōyō was much younger, she had both eyes visible, but in present timeline and overall after the death of the older man she attempted to escape with, her right eye is covered. This is actually to show how Kōyō can't see anything but darkness now. She has covered the good part of herself and has accepted the darkness and cruelty of the mafia. She had both eyes present when she was younger because she had the chance of being in the light. But now, that chance is gone, and she is stuck in the dark, refusing to come out. We can also see that she almost always has her right hand covered, again, symbolising how she has become the darkness in a way. The right hand is considered holy, and the fact that she often covers it is such an interesting detail.
This also greatly reforms there whole "siblings -in -everything but- not -blood" as currently chuuya is walking the same path as kōyō did once just in a different way, chuuya's path started out different from kōyō but I can see him covering his right eye again if he becomes the next pm boss . The same path different shoes.
Similarly chuuya also is sporting a similar hair style by covering his right eye or the "good" , "heavenly" because he refuses to believe in the good of the people after the deaths of the flags of his friends
This also makes chuuya seem more similar to verlaine as he is literally having the same hairstyle as him , showing his possible sway to his older brothers words and actions
