So I was just talking to March right before starting the Penacony quest (yeah, I know, I am very far behind rn), and saw this picture at the top of her board. Does this imply that March was snapping pictures while we were fighting Phantylia??? While Jing Yuan was getting stabbed??? And why does this somehow match March's character?

shitbox guide to making touchstarved character info sheets:

aka i have no idea how to start making one for my OC before I break down how all the canon character ones are made. here are my notes:

#character bio, the one with likes/dislikes:

extra 2-word character description at the top, DND-esque; usually adjective-noun & establishes What they are [ex repentant angel, demon renegade, cursed outsider, heroic mage, chained charlatan] personality: (disposition adjective) + (role noun). ex "melancholic observer," "mischeivous thrillseeker" likes: self explanatory, but tend to have a good amount of ones that arent immediately discernible from the rest of their info sheets dislikes: same as above fatal flaw: plot relevant issue other: something unexpected quote: something they said in game that succinctly illustrates their personality or role in the story

captions: makes a question out of one of their notable traits, + relevant emoji (ex: One way to warm Mhin’s icy heart is with tasty sweets. What kind of dessert would you gift them? 🍰 / The last person who saw Vere's sketchbook mysteriously went missing… What do you think they saw in it? 🔪)

#character bio, character/narrative descriptions

2-word character description at the top again paragraph 1: establishes their role in the world, general disposition and reputation, a hint of their deep secrets & a subtle hint at what core issue plagues them (thing that defines their arc) paragraph 2: what they want/how they interact with you (core issue style), ends with their narrative question (the implied yes/no that determines good or bad ending) [ex: can you redeem him, or are you the final entry in a long list of tragedies?]

captions: restates implied core struggle & narrative question [Some people are beyond saving. Ais teeters on the brink of the abyss… Can you help him or will he drag you under? / Many Monsters lust for blood, but Vere promises to protect you. His collar prevents him from harming humans… But can it contain his deadly appetite?]

#relationship chart:

close/like/dislike arrow to each character, plus a two-bit blurb on how they think or feel about them. [ex. Mhin's only friend. As much as Mhin wants to trust him, they're afraid of being hurt. Or worse.] also have a little quote about how they view others/the nature of relationships [ex ais: "not bad to be the black sheep. you get the clearest view of the world" / kuras: "friends are fleeting, but no less precious for it"]

captions: posted twice, once with a caption that summarizes their general social attitude, followed by an engagement question [Kuras doesn’t mind most people… except Vere. They certainly have some kind of history, but do you have any theories as to what it is? 🤨/ A certain spoiled pup is missing from Ais’s chart… 🐕 How did your MC react to meeting Princess in the demo?] and once with a caption that summarizes their reputation, followed by a somewhat surprising tidbit [To stave off his constant boredom, Vere causes trouble all over Eridia 🧨 He’s likely the culprit behind several local ghost stories…/Leander gets along with everyone and he's extra frisky when drinks are involved 🍻 Despite his popularity, he doesn't have any close friends…]

#stat chart:

stats: 1-5 for strength, luck, and wisdom, followed by 2 character-specific notable stats at the bottom [ex. forbidden magic, rizz / animal handling, small talk / empathy, handwriting] blurb: abt one sentence, describes their typical behavior & maybe hints at some stuff [while more than capable in a fight, leander avoids unnecessary bloodshed to uphold his spotless reputation and to protect his handsome smile // Ais is a man of many talents, adept in the fine arts of bashing skulls, intimidation, taming wild beasts into submission, mastering long-dead tongues, and murder // thankfully, kuras is more interested in helping than harming others. his true power is almost as unfathomable as his handwriting // for decades, vere has left the remains of the drunks, swindlers, and amateur thieves that mistook him for an easy mark on the doormat of kuras's clinic // mhin may be short-tempered, but their sharp tongue and propensity for violence bely their wealth of knowledge]

captions: memey summary of their personality/habit they have [If Mhin wants to recite the entire Bee Movie script to you, it’s basically a love confession 🥰 If you say no, you will get stabbed / Many a drunken brawler has taken Vere for an easy mark, but his pretty face belies a shockingly high body count 🔥 / Wow, Ais is so talented… We love a guy who can give people a good pounding 👊🤯💥 in a fight]

#character lore

a) sentence that establishes relevant worldbuilding, followed by b) elaboration on it that doesnt explicitly mention the character; then c) some extra detail (sorta a climax; most significant info) -> d), a short resolution that implies a direction for the relevant lore subject

ex:

a, relevant worldbuilding) Mhin: in a bygone era, before eridia became the last bastion of humanity, there was Lovent / Leander: Visitiors drawn to eridia are often surprised by the senobium's apathy towards the surrounding city / Kuras: the senobium's folklorists note a curious pattern in humanity's oldest tales.

b, elaboration) yet where a bustling metropolis once stood, there is now only a blasted crater and empty ruins, blanketed by fog. / Lacking the senobium's protection, Lowtown has been divided into territories belonging to several gangs. / Though the details vary, these stories share a common theme: an otherworldly teacher, bringing the divine gift of knowledge.

c, most crucial info) the inhabitants, and large chunks of the city, had vanished into thin air. / While a significant portion is watched over by Leander, he refuses to stoop to bribery or senseless violence to maintain his power. / Alchemy and literacy, art and war...supposedly this being shared all they knew with the earliest civilizations.

d, direction) over the following years, scholars flocked to the ruins in earch of answers. like the loventians, they disappeared without a trace, and none ever returned. / locals speak praise for the charming leader whose seemingly benign reign extends even below the city streets into the shadowed depths of the Silent Crypts. / In some tales, the otherworldly teacher is a loving, benevolent figure. In others, they are a harbinger of chaos and ruin.

Captions: relevant quote from the character [not all seen in game so far. ex “Obedience suits you, sparrow.” / “Hope. A strange concept, after so long seeing myself as the agent of ruin.”]

creds to chiamew on pint!!

[justcallmecj]

May I request A1 as Ais or Mhin (or maybe Sen), whoever you think is least likely to actually do such a thing on their own. Thank you!

And here we have an A1 Sen! I think the funniest thing is that I just (as in rn as I'm typing this) read the "least likely" part and just so happened to choose who I genuinely think would be least likely to blow a kiss. Worked out tho, right? Thank you bakahimesama for giving me another chance to draw Sen and I hope you enjoy!

Man, Sen was harder to draw this time. It wasn't until I was really done with it that she didn't look terrible in my eyes. It also took this commission for me to realize that Sen has a nose piercing. You think as someone also with a nose piercing (albeit not a septum one), I would have found that our earlier, but whatever.

[justcallmecj]

Hiii can you draw Mhin in F6 pls? I think it'll suit them well lmfao. Thank youuu :3

Hi!!! I've taken some time today to check my current requests and I am happy to announce that F6 Mhin was already done. If you have another request, since this was technically done at the ask of another person, feel free to make another and I will gladly do it!

[justcallmecj]

hi cj! vere as f6 please? :D

Hello anon! I apologize for the long wait. I was reading through my inbox (bc I just got some free time) and found that the spot for your request was already taken by a previous requester. You are free to suggest another spot tho if you still want a Vere and I'd be happy to do it. Just so you know, while I have yet to make then, A1 and D6 are already taken.

[justcallmecj]

hope you're having a nice day 🩷 can i req sen for 4i ? pls and thank youuuu

And we have our first Sen!! Thank you very much teacupanime for our newest character to the board. She was fun to do and I'm glad she can finally join the group. Hope you enjoy 4I Sen!

Sen was actually the easiest to do (as of rn anyway). The hardest part was finding good reference pictures for her since she's not technically in the game yet. She's so so cute!

[justcallmecj]

F6 just gives off Mhin vibes>o<

I offer you a F6 Mhin as a peace offering for taking so long. Your request was appreciated and I could not agree more with you tbh. It is Mhin vibes.

This one gave me a run for my money for a bit but we got there in then end. They look so disgusted and that just fits for them tbh.

[justcallmecj]

Hii could you do F1 with Mhin?

And here we finally have an F1 Mhin! I do apologize for the wait, as I've been pretty busy. However, I got here eventually, right? Anyway, I hope I did good and that you enjoy it, Anon.

Something about Mhin sitting there and question everything as they realize their feelings for the MC (as seen by the blush), just works, y'know?

[justcallmecj]

Unbreakable by Faydee ft. Miracle is so Wei Wuxian coded. Just listened to it for the first time in years and could only think of him while imagining a badass scene in my head

[justcallmecj]

Idk how to feel about this

So...I put the Touchstarved cast into a height comparison chart along with my oc Zarina. Y'all, look at this difference!

She's so fucking short compared to all of them! Even Mhin has her beat!! The worst part? I made her my height. Now I can see what it would look like if I'd met these people and I'd have hella neck problems with Kuras.

[justcallmecj]

hello!!!!! can you please draw Kuras as A3 :) thank you!

One A3 Kuras coming right up! Idk why the praying emote never occurred to me as being very Kuras coded tbh. I hope you enjoy your request, Anon!

Wow, we're building up a little corner of Kuras, kinda like how we did for Mhin. And he just looks so at peace huh? Especially with the one above him. (I'm slowly understanding how to draw Kuras, are y'all proud of me? Him and Vere are my struggle children for some reason)

[justcallmecj]

I like to think that once MC has a pact with the brothers, their eyes turn the color of their respective sin whenever MC is indulging in that sin/using their power. I love the color coding but also how many scenarios or fics crop up from it in my brain.

Imagine Mammon is worried about his cooking not being good enough for you until he sees your eyes go red as you take your first bite.

Or Lucifer sees you being insulted by a demon and hesy worried you won't stand up for yourself, so he looks for the flash of green in your eyes.

Or Belphie makes a *questionable* noise while he stretches after waking up and barely catches the glint of pink before you turn away.

Rrrgh I love it

[justcallmecj]

Hello could you plz draw Mhin in D1 :)

And another order filled. I do apologize about how long this took. I had it done for a bit but got caught up in the storm that is life (totally not posting this while I'm supposed to be doing work due tomorrow) ANYWAY! D1 Mhin as per your request. I know you also said Vere could work in another ask but I felt the board needed another Mhin since it's been a little bit.

Man, this was the easiest of all the emotes I've done so far. There was no effort needed. They're almost completely covered, which means no need for hair nor clothes, and they needed minimal coloring. And they look adorable to boot! Well, enjoy this! I have two other requests to fill (both of which are, ironically, Mhin's) and then I'll be caught up again.
