MEET MY OC: Derek

MEET MY OC: Derek ⏳️

I plan to eventually make posts like this for all my characters (I am currently working on the drawings for Noah and Izzy) so look out for those! I was gonna talk about his backstory but it contains a lot of spoilers for the prologue and the main story 😬

Fun fact: Despite me rarely talking about him, Derek is actually the main character of the story. I gotta show this boi more love tbh

MEET MY OC: Violet 🌷

At last, I present to you all the final member of Derek's team, Violet!

I plan to do these sorts of posts again for the villains of the story, but I wanna take a little break first and draw some ideas and write some stories I've had gathering in my mind for a while now.

Power: Teleportation

~~~

Age: 17 years old

Backstory: Violet is an orphan. She has vague memories of her family and what they look like. She remembers her mother and father, she remembers she had a sister but doesn't know where any of them are. She's always dreamed of finding them one day, finding answers as to why she was left at the orphanage. What happened.

She has never been adopted. When unadopted orphans turn 16, they are expected to start working and saving up money as when they turn 18 and officially become adults, they'll be expected to leave the orphanage and make a new life for themselves. Violet tries to make the most out of her situation. For the past year, she has been working in the local market place, trying to save money as her 18th birthday is months away and she'd be expected to leave.

She meets Derek and the gang when they come to replenish their supplies. She mainly talks to Izzy as she finds the girls energetic personality endearing. Izzy tells Violet all about Derek, Reed, the other members of their team, telling Violet how they've been traveling from village to village, following Reed's tracks to catch him and put a stop to his evil deeds. Violet takes an interest in this. She's going to be kicked out of the orphanage soon anyway, why not do it off her own accord? Maybe this could be the chance to adventure and find her family, to find answers! It's an opportunity she wouldn't miss for the world.

I present to you Noah and Magnus. I'm reworking my story a bit and these two happen to be the first chatacters i reworked. Before they were kind of just on opposite teams without any real connection to eachother outside of that but now they have history together. I think it makes them both more interesting and originally i didn't really think about them much but with their new backstories they've definitely become two of my favourite ocs. I don't think the lighting is the best in this piece but i really enjoyed drawing it, i even enjoyed doing the line art which is usually my least favourite part of the process.

MEET MY OC: Arlo 🎾

Her colour scheme reminds me of a watermelon tbh (was not intentional but it's still cute)

Due to everyones fear of her power, Arlo uses her power sparingly, often only using it for mundane tasks or when she absolutely needs to. Because of this, her power has grown weak due to it being mostly unused.

Age: 16 years old

Power: Energy absorption

Backstory: Arlo is from a village predominantly occupied by the powerless (people without powers). Even her parents are powerless. People in her village don't really understand these strange abilities and some are even scared of powers. Arlo's power is one that people are scared of because, for Arlo to create objects out of energy, she has to first absorb that energy from somewhere else. She often does this by absorbing a small amount of her own energy or absorbing plant energy, but people are still fearful of her. What's to stop her from draining the energy from another person? It could kill them if Arlo absorbed too much! Of course, Arlo would never kill someone and is super careful with her power to avoid just that, but people are still weary around her.

When she meets Derek, Derek sees her use her power and isn't scared by it. Instead, he sees potential. He sees a power that can be used to do something extraordinary if taught and trained properly. He offers to teach Arlo, to show her the full potential of her power. At first, Arlo turns his offer down, scared of going too far and confirming everyones fears. But after helping Derek win a fight against Reed, she too begins to see the potential of her power and agrees to join Derek to stop Reed and to learn to understand her power better.

MEET MY OC: Izzy ⚡️

Is the anatomy a lil off? Yes. But I don't know how to fix it and i used like 4 different references trying to make it look right but it's ok cause I never draw running poses like that so I challenged myself.

(This drawing literally took me so long to complete ahhhhh)

One day, she runs into Derek (literally. She ran into him. She's not very good at controlling her direction and stopping when she's using her power) and when she hears about his mission to fight against Reed, she is all for it and wants to be involved, seeing it as a dream come true. Finally, the adventure she had longed for her whole life.

~~~

Age: 17 years old

Power: Superspeed

Backstory: Izzy is a girl that's always seeked adventure and has longed for more in her life. She dreams of traveling outside of her kingdom (which is the smallest of all the kingdoms in their world) and going on a magnificent life changing journey but doesn't have to means to do that. She believes there is more waiting for her somewhere out there in the world, new friends, new potential, new places to see, she's just waiting for the day that'll happen. This stems from the fact she had difficulty making friends and fitting in growing up, particularly in school, as she had trouble with social interactions and had a fear of judgement. If she did make friends, she could never seem to keep them. She wants a fresh start and to find herself but doesn't know how to go about doing that.
