ARCANE OC IDEA: Helena From Noxus (update)

ARCANE OC IDEA: Helena from Noxus (update)

General Information:

She is an escape-y who fled Noxus to escape her notoriously sadistic and high ranking parents by faking her own death and escaping to Zaun. She knew Mel when she was growing up, but Mel was terrified of her, on the count of her parents turning Helena into a killing machine from a very early age. (The bottom picture is Mel’s point of view and how she remembers Helena). The scar was given to her by her mother, after failing to execute someone who fled the household when she was 13.

Now Helena is older and trying to live a comfortable life, stealing and looting whatever she finds. This is how she meets Jinx, whom she rescues after getting knocked out (picture two is how Jinx sees her before she passes out) . She is immediately drawn to her, as she reminds her of both Silco and Young Vi. Helena has Silco’s cunning manipulative edge and dotes on her like a parent, but Vi’s warmth and caring hand with Jinx. Both spend their days tinkering bombs, pulling pranks, and laughing. Its thanks to Helena that Jinx manages to find ways to manipulate and control force of impact from her bombs. On top of that Helena is the person she comes to crying about Vi, Silco, and the explosion that killed her family. She helps Jinx work through a lot of trauma, even joking about “cutting those guys some slack every once in a while” (in reference to Ekko, Vi and even Caitlynn)

Despite appearing “sane” especially in contrast to Jinx, Helena is actually troubled by things such as paranoia, nightmares, insomnia and severe panic attacks, as a result of her earlier years and the abuse she endured. They are most commonly set of by witnessing (large pools of blood, screaming kids etc.) (picture no.4)

Once Mel finds out that Helena is actually alive, word of this gets back to her mother, who makes it a personal mission, to capture Helena and bring her back to her parents, “by any means necesseary” in hopes of securing political support from her parents. While Helena evades capture, her and Mel actually become something sort of frenemies, getting along while bickering, and even saving each others asses numerous times. During their adventures, Ekko, Vi and Caitlynn have to work with them a couple of times, to achieve a similiar goal. (picture no.6)

…More to be added…

Love interests?

The Designated doctor who worked for her family had a son, Ernest, who was around her age. He and his father would be witness to the many MANY violent punishments her parents would dish out to Helena. When she “died”, both him and his father were devestated (even creating a special memorial statue for her). A few years later, Ernest is in Zaun working as a doctor and engineer in the undercity, when he catches Helena trying to rob his clinic for medical supplies. He is overcome with joy when he realises who his robber actually is. Helena appears happy as well to see him, but when they go out to “catch up” she tries to kill him, thinking that he is still working for her parents, and thats why he is in Zaun. Instead she takes him as “prisoner” but when she realises that he is actually not a spy, she offers him to stay with her and Jinx, under the guise of helping out with their missions. He obviously still has a crush on her, but for most of the story she does n’t see him in that way, until the very end.

How does her story end?

After a series of adventures, Helena does manage to defeat her crazy family, but their downfall causes mass problems back in Noxus. With this, both of her and Mel are tasked to go back, in hopes of fixing things and restoring peace, which is a task that would take several years. She does offer Jinx to go with her, however Jinx (still attached to Vi despite no longer being on best of terms) declines. This leads to a very tearful goodbye, as Helena goes on the ship to take her to Noxus. Before leaving she tells Jinx. “Contrary to what your name may imply, your presence in my life has brought me nothing but greatness and fortune, and I want you to know that.” This departure would be the first time Jinx has a proper goodbye with someone. (picture no.5)

Age: Older than Caitlynn but younger than Mel

Height: 6ft2

Characteristics: Cunning, Playful, Warm and protective of those she cares about, Skilled, Analytical and Observative, Manipulative, Foul Tempered, Prone to Mood Swings, Can become Sadistic when enraged passed a certain point.

Weapon: A giant axe that has the ability to extend the handle pole. This was her weapon from when she was even a still a kid being conditioned to become a killing machine by her family (thus getting the nickname “HeLLena the Executioner” for her most common method of execution, decapitation). She is also an exeptionally talented and agile fighter.

Sexuality: Asexual but romantic

Pronouns: She/her or they/them

Fun Facts:

-Helena’s family was inspired by the history of the Bathory Family (whose most famous member is the serial killer Elizabeth Bathory). This is in reference not only to their sadism, but also their status. So wealthy and influential that they are LITERALLY above the law. This is why Mel’s mother was so keen on bringing Helena back to them.

-The name Helena was in reference to “the face that launched a thousand ships”. Mel’s mother goes to great lenghts to try and find her, and it plays a huge part of the story.

-Her appearance was strategical. Earlier, it was mentioned that the reason Jinx gets attached so quickly is due to her reminding her of both Silco and Young Vi. This is seen in her big bold eyes and brows (Vi) contrary to the greasy brown hair and the scar on the face which is on the same side as Silco’s.

i would LOVE it if you made a full euphoria comic! i know myself and other fans wouldn’t mind pitching in to support your art & time 💘

Thank you so much! Hopefully will make more pages in the future. This was fun.

“You wanna kiss me so bad, it makes you look stupi-“ *gasp

“Call me stupid, then.”

Here…Have some Timebomb ship art. Enjoy. ⏱💣

A personal Timebomb (Jinx x Ekko) scene idea

Ok but picture this.

They are all fighting Warwick in season 2. Ekko tries to fight him off by himself, nearly getting killed. Warwick crushes his hoverboard into pieces, so he cant escape. He gets knocked out cold. Only, when he wakes up, he is back at his home with his wounds being tended by Heimerdinger.

“What happened? How did I get here”

“There was a giant flash out side the tree. When I went to check it out, you were there knocked out cold, barely alive.”

*Ekko tries to remember what happened…

“Oh fuck- My hoverboard. I am gonna have to make a new one.”

“No need”

EUPHORIA FAN COMIC PART 2: COMING SOON

Hello! ArtRMe here! Big thanks on your support for the first part of the Euphoria fan comic! It was so much fun to do. I am so glad that the reaction was so positive. Good news is that the story is going to be continued (so that we have something to look forward to while waiting for season 3) I am currently in the process of doing part 2. I have all of the sketches of the pannels done, now I am doing line art and colour.

If you have any ideas or specific details of stuff you want to see in the story, please let me know.

The story is hopefully going to do what season 2 didn’t get to. Focus on giving Maddy a happy story she deserves, giving Kat an appropriate story line and more attention, Giving us more Fexi stuff Giving Lexi more room to grow, Rue working through recovery and mending the relationships with those around her etc. Also I am hoping to give characters such as Bobbi, Ethan, Faye, Gia more screen time and development too. Comment if you have some characters (even from season 1) that you want to see more of.

Expect the comic to be released soon 3-4 weeks. Why so long? Good news, its because part 2 has 10 pages, while part one only had 6, so you will get more goodies and see more of your favorite characters

In the mean time- here- have some sneakpeaks that fuel the possibilities, in what direction the story might go…

What’s happening now? Who is Maddy staring at? Why are they in such a rush?

Got your theories? Share them!

So many cool details I can’t wait to share and finish. If you do want to see more sketches, works in progress, please do follow for more frequent updates.
