(OC: weaselman41)

So uhh this little guy initially started off as an experiment in replicating the look of late 2000s-early 2010s Roblox avatars... and I later got an idea for what he could be like in the world of Forsaken! (Click "Keep Reading" for an explanation on the little guy)

Lore stuff:

Forged from the bricks of old, forgotten games, weaselman41 waltzes through the Forsaken world at his own pace, unaware of his unnatural origins. His supposed creation date was April 11th, 2009, though he believes himself to have "joined Roblox in 2009 at the age of 13". He is biologically around his mid-20s, but possesses a curious, jovial nature, and is a bit of a manchild, not helped by his bouts of amnesia.

weaselman41 was created and raised as a host by 1x1x1x1. While 1x was a surprisingly competent parent at first, weaselman41 ended up being indoctrinated into believing that the Roblox world needed to be destroyed for some higher purpose. 1x promptly disappeared from weaselman41's life after around 2 years, leaving him to his own devices.

weaselman41 was initially raised to believe that Shedletsky was an abhorrent beast that ought to be killed, but after getting to spar with him in Sword Fight on the Heights, weaselman41 realized that Shedletsky actually wasn't too bad. The two even became sort-of friends for a while, but that turned for the worst when weaselman41's mind started getting infiltrated by 1x1x1x1. Due to weaselman41's nature as a being forged by 1x, his mind and body are easily able to be infiltrated by them. Thus, weaselman41 was used as a vessel to conduct hacks and other malice while blissfully unaware of what was really going on. Shedletsky and the others began to distrust weaselman41, and he'd become ostracized, getting a ban around 2016.

weaselman41 was reduced to a shell of his former self, but one mysterious day, he was given a "second chance at life" by the Spectre. Whatever conspired between him and the Spectre led him to become forsaken, thought as a citizen instead of a Survivor or Killer. The situation seemed hopeful, giving weaselman41 a chance to really explore himself as a person, but that hope didn't last for long when it turned out 1x was forsaken as well. In the new world, weaselman41 has no protection from becoming a vessel for 1x1x1x1 again, only being kept safe by the aid of his fellow Survivors.

weaselman41 inherits some of 1x's powers, mainly those relating to hacking and exploiting, as well as their Unstable Eye. He doesn't quite understand how to use them, but desires to use them for good. That said, weaselman41 currently only has access to a fraction of his true power within the Forsaken world. However, with training from the other Survivors, weaselman41's been on the way to become a proper Survivor.

Fun Facts:

weaselman41's favorite color is forest green.

weaselman41's favorite childhood toys were a teddy bear and a box of dominos, both of which he kept into adulthood.

weaselman41 friends like to call him "Weaz".

weaselman41's least favorite Killer is c00kidd, since he seems him as a "dark reflection of what [he] could have become".

weaselman41 has a copy of the Necrobloxicon.

weaselman41 was named in honor of Weaselman50, a former Roblox user who may have had direct ties to supposed 1x1x1x1 hacking incidents. That said, weaselman41 is not the same person as Weaselman50.

While Builderman and Taph don't like weaselman41 very much, he wishes he were friends with them. Currently, his closest Survivor friends are Noob, Guest 1337, and (surprisingly) Dusekkar.

In-Game Stats and Abilities:

Class: Supporter. Cost: 800$. Base HP: 90. Walk Speed, Run Speed, and Stamina are standard. Difficulty rating: ★★★.

Passive Abilities: I: Error Sense: weaselman41 can see the aura of any Survivor or Killer that has been inflicted with a status effect that inflicts damage over time, such as Poisoned, Bleeding, or Corrupted. Active Abilities: I: Chain of Command: Using a pair of chains, following a windup of 0.55 seconds, weaselman41 can either yoink a Survivor from up to 80 studs away or attack a Killer from up to 60 studs away. If used on a Survivor, the Survivor will be granted Speed I for 5 seconds and will be forced out moves that trap them, such as Jason's Gashing Wound or 1x1x1x1's Entanglement. Using the move on a Killer will instead inflict Helpless I and Slowness III for 2 seconds (along with doing 15 damage), or, if used up close, inflicts a stun for 2.5 seconds along with Slowness III for 7.5 seconds (along with doing 35 damage). A successful use of this ability will add a charge to Disinfect and Unstable Eye. Has a cooldown of 30. *Note: Both Disinfect and Unstable Eye can only hold up to 2 charges. Using a charged ability will eat up all charge for that ability. II: Disinfect: After a 0.75 second windup, weaselman41 "disinfects" himself along with any nearby Survivors within a 30 stud radius. The exact effects very by charge. Has a cooldown of 45. Uncharged: weaselman41 simply removes any status effect(s) that cause damage over time from himself and nearby survivors, along with granting immunity to getting those status effects for 15 seconds. 1 Charge: weaselman41 additionally gives Regeneration I and Resistance II to nearby Survivors for 10 seconds. 2 Charges: weaselman41 additionally gives himself and nearby Survivors Regeneration II and Resistance III for 10 seconds. III: Unstable Eye: weaselman41 pries at his own eye, revealing the aura of the Killer and Survivors for 7 seconds, along with inflicting the Speed and Blindness status effects. Exact effects vary based on charge. Has a cooldown of 30. Uncharged: Speed I and Blindness III for 5 seconds. 1 Charge: Speed II and Blindness II for 7 seconds. 2 Charges: Speed III and Blindness I for 9 seconds.

(Unusual Ecolo)

It's a shocker that I haven't drawn this guy in over half a year

[deadly-espresso]

(Chelovek)

I randomly remembered the fact that this guy exists and so I drew them (I think they look pretty on model)

[deadly-espresso]

RARE DUSEKKAR IN LOBBY??? (I think this Dusekkar with glitching out because he seemed kind of laggy because his spells would get delayed when they hit someone)

Also Noi was there, I invited them

[deadly-espresso]

New song out, come check it out

This will probably be the last song I release until after my 18th birthday passes 💥

(Aya-Xi)

For some reason I had thought up ideas about fusing SynthV voicebank designs from the VIMALION PROJECT together... this was the first one I ever thought of. Specifically, this one's a fusion between the voicebanks Ayame and Yi Xi. I think fusing their names into Aya-Xi was so weirdly fitting because Yi Xi and Ayame look like the MOST suspicious characters in the VIMALION PROJECT roster (oh also it'd make for a funny ship name)

Also the bottom right image looks like what the cookies see when you put them into the oven 😭😭😭

Fun facts about the design:

The little bands around the sleeves are mostly a holdover from Ayame's design, but they're also designed to look like tourniquets! I thought they'd be fitting, given the mild gurokawa aesthetic I ended up going for in this design.

The hairstyle I gave Aya-Xi was designed to bring to mind Neapolitan ice cream. Frankly, I think I had a much easier time figuring out what hairstyle Aya-Xi would have in comparison to figure out what clothes she'd wear.

The reason why I find the name Aya-Xi so oddly fitting is because it sounds similar pronunciation-wise to "ayashii", which in Japanese means "strange" or "uncanny". Very... very fitting.

Shortass can't wall climb (Gashing Wound has a tendency to get ppl stuck in weird places, in this case I managed to get a Shedletsky stuck on a wall, which cost me the match 💔)

(Lillia)

(OCs: Eden, Miko)

"I swear if her spine starts elongating or she starts making unholy noises I'm leaving" -Lillia or something, idk

Saw this funny footage of some people playing an obby on Roblox and it reminded me of these three lol 💖

I took the screenshot from this video (Warning: very silly!!!) 😨

(OC: Riri)

Art for a MV I'm working on

Tbh the shading for this piece was a pain in my ass

(alt version without halftone effect)

[deadly-espresso]

(OC: Riri)

I made this image as a bit of concept art for a song I'm working on at the moment. Currently I'm working on the vocals and final audio mixing but hopefully it'll be out by August.

As for this guy:

Riri's real first name is Rico.

They're somewhere around their mid-20s.

They work in tech support and like to game in their free time

The song they're going to be featured is going to be about a conversation Riri has with themself because they feel like the people in their lives are two-faced and they feel constantly pressure to put up a mask of happiness around them just to not get on their bad side.

Riri uses they/them, he/him, or she/her pronouns. However, the reason they mainly use they/them is not because they're nonbinary (or at least consider themselves such) but because they're technically multiple people. (This is a reason why I ended up making their song a duet, with two different vocalists being used to represent the different people).

Riri lives alone and doesn't leave their house often. I'm not sure yet if they own a pet.

(Ayame)

She seems trustworthy... 💖

Yeah I drew VIMALION PROJECT's Ayame again except in her Synthesizer V1 outfit! I like her hairstyle and her gloves...

[deadly-espresso]

Wow look, Riku!

I made a cover of one of my own songs... with Riku. Riku doesn't sound as soft and sweet as RiKU... but I think his more natural voice has some appeal too.

[deadly-espresso]

(Riku)

Some art I made for a song cover that'll hopefully get posted soon

[deadly-espresso]

(Eri)

Hey look it's Eri!

Yeah I drew the VIMALION PROJECT girl with the funny jacket

Hey I know this sounds weird but I can kinda picture Eri is being like a foil to Yi Xi? Like, Eri seems to physically be the thinnest out the VIMALION PROJECT characters. Like, she comes off as being the opposite of a glutton, someone who obsessively avoids eating to excess, if you catch my drift. I don't think the two get along that well usual but there'd still be situations where the two could cooperate. :P

[deadly-espresso]

(Riku)

Tbh when I mentioned I was interested in making a cover with this voicebank you really should have seen this coming

[deadly-espresso]

(Mai)

More VIMALION PROJECT drawings... I drew the apple rabbit kenomimi girl... 🍎🐰

[deadly-espresso]

(Mafioso)

I previously hadn't drawn anything Forsaken related since unlike with Dandy's World I couldn't find texture maps or color keys for its cast, but I finally decided to give it a shot with Mafioso

I feel like a bit of a weirdo for finding his redesign for the Noli update more interesting than his original design, but I do like how he actually is semi-canon and has ties to Chance's life before he became forsaken
