Limbus Oc - Tumblr Posts
Hm. Perhaps i should make a tag specific for Elpis (my limbus self insert) so that if i get followers they can filter out my cringe.
If anyone is interested in them:
This is them ^_^ their name is Elpis and they’re based off of Pandora’s box since i tend to go for names that start with E for my self inserts (E and S names, for Evora and Sora lol)
Their whole deal is that they had a class (its either a class or an orphanage, haven’t decided) where they spent most of their time w/ the vices in the box until the Bad Things Happened (tm) and Elpis is the only one left :(
They love faust. they are very sweet together and it is very autistic.
They're very much nonbinary and use they/them but they’re often referred to as a girl/by feminine terms (for an example in a oneshot i wrote of them, they are called "faust's girl").
Elpis is a character outside of the fact that theyre a self insert/self ship oc!! Their whole thing is flower language and that’s the a big thing in the way they express their (platonic!!) feelings towards the other sinners.
One of the little flower language things they do is at the end of a sinner’s canto is give them a flower that has a meaning relevant to them… i have a small list and reasons on my Elpis google doc but i dont have that available atm because mobile tumblr is weird lol.
Their little icon is meant to be both a flower and a butterfly! I didn’t want to just go with butterflies since butterflies mean hope BUT butterflies are already kinda taken by *checks notes* ryoshu’s icon, and every single ardor moth and other butterfly/moth themed abnormality.
Also the skirt is very much not super efficient in battle but hey. It works for them. and also they refuse to get rid of it.
Their primary weapon is an olive branch type thing with a lantern at the end. Like the SINGLE most stereotypical staff lantern thing. it also has a branch that they weave medicinal herbs onto :3
The lantern has easy break glass panes, though there is no door. The way the lantern works is they have to reset the Greek fire like substance (half a copout on what it actually is composed, half because Greek fire is interesting, and also half because she's from greek mythology), relight the candle carefully, and then put the panes back in. Her Big Attack(tm) lore wise is them smacking the enemy with their staff and the lantern shatters onto the enemy. I guess combat wise it would be a one time use inflict bleed & burn. like
[on hit] inflict x burn, inflict y bleed (can only occur once an encounter)
They still do damage just no burn/bleed :3 this is for balance purposes (and gameplay/lore integration because DAMN the PMVerse is great at that shit keep it UP /pos)
However because theyre really easily startled if you approach them from behind and they don’t see you, they have a really nasty habit of “swing first, ask questions later”. It’s to the point on the Elpis google doc i literally have a table of how many times they’ve set a sinner on fire by accident (as well as how many on purpose). It’s a source of comedy until it’s Not.
limbus oc:) finally done with test stuff and out of twitter pit
the name walter, call sign n'ghftog shuggoth (for the LORE!!! and so you know which book they was based on/), i'll post more stuff as i go, now i'll go finishing the remaining works then i whoosh...
(also i copy pasted that bcs i was so lazy importing the full canvas from my phone, hope the quality doesn't shit...)
How much i want to post my char x oc pairing with Caiman (caimanether - caither), now I did. A little wall of text
I'll start with these first i think bcs I need time to comply them into one post instead of dripping some pics here and there like I did on other socials, I draw a lot about them really.
My OC name is Ether (white hair), she's Caiman subordinate and secretly (everyone knows, actually) her wifey/gfy.
Accidentally saw them next to together in my phone gallery (upper pic) and twitter media tab (below pic), you guys really love each other right...
Their icon is 🐊☁️ as for Caiman is the crocodile variation (they really meant it, I check Korean dialogue logs and the letters really wrote Caiman as called the animal), and Ether means "the air" as well as she's based on one of my OC in Sky COTL, plus she looks as fluffy as the cloud itself.
I'll tag posts about them as # caimanether, caither or 🐊☁️, there are specific tags in languages that utilizes Latin alphabet or different writing systems that have their own importance lore-wise; ill write them under the tag section so you could give a look (save for the Chinese tags, all tags are set - I'll may or may not make changes to it later on). The tags are for claim, when I post it'll mostly be caither that gets to appear frequently.
About their relationship? I created this ship solely as a method of mental healing for myself so I don't care much about a specific love line, I could put them into any situation I prefer but there's one thing that's eternal is they're obsessed with each other (oh my wifeys...). And uh, high sexual tendencies, I am extra serious.
However, a story and canon universe love line will be developed when I felt like it, they - as carriers of my mental wellbeing - deserves a story as beautiful as they already are together. Ohhh and they have a child, children specifically.
One minor spilling of the beans, Ether is albino, her eyes are cyan coloured, she's Nepali coded, did distorted and had an EGO design and her lore will be based on the Gurkhas and surrounding the [REDACTED] in general, stay tuned till all the secrets, reveal. I'm still in the researching phase, plus this is fictional so I may draw or describe real life-based details wrong. Correction will gradually be made as I process, right now only appreciating love is matter.
End of post, I'm chuffed to see you took time to read this pit of words I made on a whim. See you next post.
Le Misanthrope, Cardinal Alceste
I recommend reading Moliere's The Misanthrope and the sequel play made in 1998 (I think) Celimene and the Cardinal.
