Pictures with my nWOD OCs, both old and new :D
Starting with Promethean the Created
Sharla, my Frankenstein gorl acting as a loyal knight for my Galatea boi Narkizo. Silly not-yet-people through whom I explore my own existential crisis. I like them :D
And now, Changeling the Lost! Under the cut cause the post is long already.
I have a whole custom freehold (it doesn't work properly cause I messed up lore a lot lol), and I mostly draw local King of Summer, Adlar Dreik, a Draconic Fairest.
He is kinda young for the position of King (he got it when he was seventeen through some sort of revolution, which sounds both much more dramatic and much less draining than it was) and he is not very well liked (except for a few other changelings, one of whom you can see in one of the pictures ;)), so he is struggling.
And this is a "what-if" scenario of Adlar if he was a True Fae and not (technically) a changeling.
And now we have another broken redhead confronted by someone about his lies, and a local Chirurgeon. I'm now thinking they could have been smoking buddies or something, but they would more likely have a passive aggressive "I hate that you are here" type of conversation. Oh well.
Fae-changeling dynamics in different ttrpgs (with my OCs as an example) :D
How it is going vs how it started
I spent some time staring at my Galatea OC for Promethean the Created... And then he, who was made with "spoiled, but nice kid" vibes in mind, suddenly revealed to me that he's kinda batshit insane, which I didn't plan for at all x')
Yeah, Narkizo is disobeying his creator's (mine) ideas. As a Promethean should, I suppose. That's why, using that knowledge, I drew a picture, which may be the best thing I've drawn in a while. Under the cut you can see what Narkizo was like before this reveal. He's still silly and goofy and affectionate towards Sharla, my Frankenstein girl, but now he has some sinister depth to him >:D
My pathetic little mew mew aka my Changeling the Lost OC.
He's an Elemental Fireheart.
Also he's a Loyalist. Which means he is out of Arcadia but still serves True Fae. These sad eyes will be the last thing you'll see before he sells you out to Gentry š
So, a bit of disclaimer. This is a Beast the Primordial OC. He is based on a rewrite of original game. I love the idea of making characters out of something that scares me, I've done it since childhood and it has always felt therapeutic. It's a direction I'm going in with this guy, for example. And it really is a shame that a gameline that could have given me a game made for this was partially written by a messed up person. I do not support him, his actions, or his ideas, obviously. That's why, once again, I'll be using a rewrite.
Having said that, here is Eric vibing in his native reality, sort of custom-made dream (or, more precisely, nightmare) called Lair in game's term. I've also put a doodle with Eric's design under the cut.
Eric is based on fear of exposure, but in an indirect way: he is dedicated to the time, when I, thanks to the religious household I grew up in, was terrified that someone was hearing my thoughts, no matter how terrible and sinful or not. That's what Eric is all about.
His Lair, for example, has a trait where anything one thinks in there is automatically said out loud. Which does mean that Eric has heard some really weird, to put it lightly, things, and sometimes he gets psychic damage while trying to scare someone to feed from their fears. But actually this experience is slowly teaching Eric not to be scared of accidental thoughts, even weird or "sinful", and especially not to stigmatize people based on their intrusive thoughts, because words and actions speak louder and mean much more.
I have a lot of OCs loosely (or not) related to "1984" by George Orwell. They are incredibly bad in terms of conveying the horrorsā¢, but they are interesting to think about. That's all I need. Afterall, I feel like Orwell has conveyed the horrorsā¢ pretty well already.
Some more info under the cut.
From left to right, we have:
- Winston, a Limbus company OC. I'm powering through the game right now, it's right up my alley, I'm so glad my friend talked me into it. I still have to catch-up with all the lore and storyline, so I won't talk about Winston much, he's still a work in progress in a way. All I'll say is that he has a pet rat, formerly a lab rat, which he named "Big Brother". This is pretty fucked up reference, yeah, but I have an explanation in-universe. Besides, I like converting the horrors to something silly. This helps me cope, y'know?
- George, OC from an original setting. Okay, if I'm being honest, he was a BSD OC at first, but that was in the past, and he was a very different person then. Now he's a protagonist of a utopian (?) world, where the AI watching over it makes anything to make everyone happy... Which means that people being upset is treated kinda like people being sick and in dire need of a cure. In this world, three boys, George, Ray, and Evgeny, all named after authors of famous distopias (I'm so sneaky with my references /sarcasm) just want to be able to grieve over their personal tragedies in peace.
- Eric and Julia, my OCs for Beast the Primordial's rewrite. I've talked about Eric a bit in one of previous posts, as for Julia, well, she's a Hero to Eric's Beast, however, she doesn't enjoy being wrapped up in the narrative of the Dreaming (which is what happening with Heroes in BtP rewrite), so in-between fighting with Eric (since that is the whole reason she exists) she tries to sustain a semi-friendly relationship with him. They both try to.
