“Go to hell” is basic “I hope the character that you like gets shelved and have less or zero content” is terrifying. It's possible. It's happening to me.

What is Upton’s Husbandry?

Upton’s husbandry is a cannibalistic cult masquerading as a high-end husbandry, founded by a figure named “Upton”. They worship Esmeray—also known as The Mother—consuming “Divine Pulp.” The goal is to absorb enough blessed essence for ascension. Husbandry members spend most, if not all, of their time on the compound, curating the Fold, farming, worshiping and feasting as a commune.

Who is Upton?

Upton’s identity is unknown. However, it’s believed he visited the “Divine Species” (Ovins) during his youth. Upton claimed they “Offered their fruit” as a reward for his discovery. Taking credit as the “first human” to be blessed by the Divine Pulp, he used his influence to share his knowledge and help others ascend onto a higher plain.

What is “Divine Pulp”?

Divine pulp refers to the flesh of the Ovins. Upton believes, by eating them, it brought him closer to “The same level of ascension as them”—a gross misunderstanding of Abstract Deliverance.

What is The Fold?

The Fold refers to the “livestock” of Ovins the Husbandry cultivated for years. The Fold holds generations of Ovins bred to be harvested. They’re kept in the lower levels of the husbandry, tested on and treated by the farmers, and only come to the surface up to graze. Despite having the recognizable ears and tail, their wooliness appears absent and their skin looks dull. Their eyes are blank from generational domestication, completely stripping them of Abstract Deliverance and their mental components. They can’t communicate, besides maybe a few words they’ve heard from passing farmers. They're just wandering husks waiting for their time to feed, breed, or get harvested.

Who is Reuben?

Reuben Carr, a gambler burdened by debt, saw Machie’s bounty as his salvation. He teamed up with a group who planned to turn the Ovinian in and split the reward evenly. While outnumbering Machie in an alleyway, they rendered his “fail-safe” weakened as he panics. Amidst the commotion, Machie slips through, thinking he’s free only for Rueben to capture and incapacitate him. Rueben was going to inform the other men, but after remembering his debt and how the money will split between so many members, he made a selfish move, and ran to turn Machie in himself—a mistake which leads to him becoming one of the Husbandry’s best Shepherds.

The husbandry wasted no time indoctrinating him into the cult. At first, they tried using more passive methods, until they realized how stubborn Reuben is. They move toward harsher methods, turning the man into a watered-down, animalistic version of himself.

Why are they after Machie?

They noticed, after many tests, that the Fold is losing its “blessed essence”, making the pulp they’ve consumed “diluted”. This caused mass panic across the husbandry, provoking them to search far and wide for “pure” Ovinians. During his travels, one of Upton's sleeping agents spots Machie in one of the major cities. After reporting it to Upton’s chief, they sent their shepherds to capture him. However, they completely underestimated his slipperiness. Instead of playing cat-and-mouse, they put up an anonymous bounty with an extremely high reward. It’s higher than any bounty ever put up, incentivizing the public to hunt him down.

Hi lol don't mind me I'm just dumping my little BvZ OC's and OC lore here haha

Meet Machie Agbara

Machie Agbara is a young Ovinian from the Perennial Valley. The Ovins are a race of people distinguishable by their wooly sheep-like ears and nubby tails. Their origins are hard to trace since they migrate, especially in times of danger or mass distress. They are spiritual people that follow the arts of Abstract Deliverance.

What is Abstract Deliverance?

Abstract Deliverance is a spiritual belief system that revolves around releasing one's conceptual mind components and using them to their fullest extent. Usually, it’s used for travel, or to provide helping hands for mundane tasks. However, in times of danger, they’re used to preserve the person, shielding or fighting alongside them.

Machie’s “Fail-Safe” Abilities.

Using the fail-safe for anything—defense, offense, or mundane tasks—takes up mental energy, making Machie sleepy. His abilities gain a buff when he rests. However, he prefers to reserve the buffs for emergencies. 

Deflection - His fail-safe can shield Machie from physical danger, such as gunshots and physical attacks. As long as no one outnumbers him (7+ people), they absorb most of the damage.

Continuous Travel - His fail-safe carries him while he sleeps, so he’s never idle. It makes it harder for those stalking to keep track of his whereabouts.

Ira’s Akrafena - An offensive tactic where Ira fights on Machie’s behalf. Ira’s weapon manifests as an Akrafena, his damage amplified by Machie’s anger, fear, or excitement.

Kaleidification - The ability to step into one’s mind and inspect/redirect their mind components. Everyone’s mindscape differs from one another, composed of various elements based on personality, experience, and memories.

Dreamscaping - [ONLY USED IN SELF DEFENSE] Machie can put people to sleep and provide a hyper-lucid dream. The dreamer can stay asleep as long as they desire (within reason). This can affect multiple parties at once.

Where is he going? and why?

Machie’s journey starts when his grandfather came down with a serious illness. While their herbs and other medications ease his pain and discomfort, they don't cure him. The local herbalists say a special flower (The Hydoris) can help him recover, but it’s not native to their land. Wanting to help, Machie volunteers to retrieve the plant despite his loved ones’ protests. After getting the Godmother’s blessing, he heads off to the planet’s opposing side to retrieve the Hydoris.

What Does This Have To Do With BvZ?

[In my dumb little brain fanfiction] The quartet come across Machie’s bounty. At least one of them gets hooked by the absurdly large reward tacked on, but the others remain suspicious, thinking it’s a scam. It’s until they hear people talk about a bounty similar to the one on Machie, bragging about how much money they made (these people are sleeper agents). Also motivated by Machie’s non-threatening appearance, they take the bounty, thinking it’d be a simple mission. What could go wrong?

:D

[shaingles]

debating whether I should make what I have so far separate posts or just one massive post pack with information... I'll look over what I have so far and see where I go from there

I got Brant <3 Now I'm back in my BvZ brainrot

I wanna make a Bastards vs Zombies OC (detached from Y/N) but every time I think about him, I end up expanding his origins and story further. Like, at first he was just a recycled Y/N-esque OC from a different story, but now there's a whole race of people like him hidden away somewhere due to an evil, cannibalistic cult (Literally a story timeline I made up). AND they (the people) introduce a relatively new magic mechanic revolving around illusionism and tangible manifestations of one's compartmental psyche...

Chat, is that allowed?
