#14 year old me is happy I can actually bring my ocs justice when I draw them now

[testsubject24601]

My oldest League OC, Layalina aka Lady Luck (yes based off of Twisted Fates dialogue, they’re childhood friends!). I missed drawing her a lot and I want to actually sit down and write the backstory I’ve had planned for her since… 2015. God I feel old

Rooms on Fire Chapter 12: Dinner with The Shinsou’s Part 1

(Art and OC's by the amazing Keiid)

"You ready?" Hitoshi asked as he popped his head into the closet.

"Ummm...." You were crawling around like Gollum in your underwear digging through your clothes. Hitoshi rolled his eyes.

"I personally love your outfit, not sure about how my parents will feel about it though."

You huffed and glared at Hitoshi. You were so really nervous and wanted to make a good impression. He would never admit it, but Hitoshi found it cute that you were so nervous. He sighed and sat down on the floor with you.

"It's okay gorgeous. They're going to love you."

You looked at him eyes filled with worry. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah why wouldn't they?"

You let out a shaky sigh. "Because I'm villain offspring."

Hitoshi was taken back. He knew you were sometimes self conscious about people knowing who your parents were, but he'd never seen you this worried about it. Usually you had thick skin and would tell people to fuck off if they said anything. He quickly scooped to up into his arms and held you tight. "Look here (Y/N), they're going to love you." He planted gentle kisses on your face. "You're sweet, kind, adorable, full of piss and vinegar. How could anyone not love you?" You teared up a little and hugged Hitoshi's neck.

"Come on. Let's get you dressed."

.

.

The car ride was pretty quiet. Hitoshi held your hand the whole drive, bringing your hand to his lips and planting a sweet reassuring kiss every so often. You pulled into the driveway of a beautiful modest home. It looked warm and welcoming, like the type of home that is used for Christmas catalogs.

"Wow, you grew up here?" You asked still admiring the house.

"Yup. Have a lot of great memories here."

You and Hitoshi got out of the car. Hitoshi holding flowers he got for his mom and you holding a blueberry pie that you baked for dessert. Hitoshi chuckled as he watched you carry the pie to the front door.

"What?" You asked slightly annoyed.

"Nothing." He leaned in and kissed your cheek. "You're just so domesticated."

You elbowed Hitoshi in the side and rolled your eyes when he let out a fake cry of pain. You finally reached the front door, you fixed your navy blue sweater and took a deep breath before Hitoshi opened the front door.

"Mom! Dad! We're here!" He called out.

You heard footsteps approach and a beautiful, tall, blue haired women rounded the corner. She had soft tired eyes and a sweet smile. "Toshi!" She gave her son a hug and he handed her the flowers. She thanked him and set them down on a side table and turned to look at you.

You smiled sheepishly and bowed. "Hi Mrs. Shinsou. Thank you for having me over." Before you knew it she had pulled you in for a hug. "Kubo, it's so wonderful to finally meet you. We're so glad that you could make it." You instantly relaxed and hugged her back with your free arm. She let you go, but her arms stayed on your shoulders as she looked you over. "You know the TV doesn't do you justice."

"It definitely doesn't." Hitoshi chimed in. You blushed and thanked them.

"Oh, I uh, made you a pie." You held out the blueberry pie and held your breath for approval.

"Oh how sweet of you!" Mihoko took the pie and deeply inhaled the sweet scent and smiled at you. "Blueberry is my favorite."

You smiled and she led you both to the kitchen. Hitoshi took your hand and squeezed it as he leaned in to whisper in your ear. "Mom already loves you."

"You think so?" You whispered back. Hitoshi just gave you a wink.

You entered the kitchen to see Hajime Shinsou cooking up a storm. Hitoshi was almost a carbon copy of him. Same height, same hair, same tired eyes that definitely ran in the family.

"Hajime, Kubo made us a blueberry pie." She said as she placed it gently on the counter.

Hajime turned around to smile at you. "Oh wow! Your favorite!" He threw a towel over his shoulder and walked up to you. "That's so thoughtful of you Kubo." He took your hand and shook it as you gave a bow. "It's great to finally meet you. We've been hearing so much about you."

You blushed. "Thanks, it's great to meet you too. Hopefully I can live up to the hype."

Hajime and Mihoko laughed. "Well we've been hearing about you for years, so we feel like we already know you."

You smirked at Hitoshi who turned pink. "Years huh?"

Mihoko giggled as she handed you a glass of plum wine. "Yup! Ever since the first year sports festival at UA."

You laughed as Hitoshi was red in the face. "Mom, can you not?" He groaned.

She giggled and ruffled Hitoshi's hair. "Oh relax sweetie. Surely she knows how long you've had eyes for her."

Hajime chimed in. "Yeah pretty much everyday he'd come home from school it was Kubo this and Kubo that and 'Kubo taught me this new counter attack' and 'People think Kubo is stuck up and mean, but she's actually really nice' and-"

"Daaaaad." Hitoshi grumbled and glared at his parents.

"No no! Please continue! He's gone 14 different shades of red, I wanna see if we can get him to 15." You said eyeing Hitoshi with a huge shit eating grin on your face.

He immediately glared at you. "You all suck."

You all laugh as Hitoshi pouted and poured himself some wine.

"Mrs. Shinsou?"

"Oh sweetie called me Mihoko."

Your heart jumped. First name basis so quickly. You were honored. "Okay, um Mihoko-and you can call me (Y/N) by the way- please tell me you have naked baby pictures."

She gave you a sly smile. "Right this way my dear."

You glanced at Hitoshi and pumped your fist in celebration. "15 shades!"

You and Mihoko went to the living room where she got out the photo albums leaving Hitoshi and Hajime in the kitchen. Hajime smiled at Hitoshi.

"I like her."

You and Mihoko looked through the photo albums laughing and cooing over all Hitoshi's old baby/toddler pictures. Hajime set out all the plates and utensils to set the table and put Hitoshi to work.

Hitoshi had an extra setting. "Dad, why did you give me five plates? There's only four of us."

Just then there was a knock at the door.

"Could you get that son?" Mihoko called out before going back to telling you stories behind pictures.

Hitoshi went to the door and found Aizawa standing there. "Whoa! I didn't know you'd be coming."

"Nice to see you too." Aizawa said in his typical monotone voice as he stepped through the doorway.

Hitoshi and Aizawa shook hands and stepped into the living room.

"Aizawa, glad you could make it!" Mihoko said cheerfully.

You were surprised to see Aizawa, but not mad about it. "Nice to see you again Aizawa Sensei."

"Please Kubo, I'm no longer your teacher, so Aizawa is fine."

"Come and get it!" Hajime called out.

You all migrated to the dining room where Hajime served everyone an amazing curry dish and poured everyone some wine. You all chatted about hero work, Hitoshi's parents commented on your run in with that villain a few months prior.

"You took down that guy all by yourself?" Mihoko asked in a concerned voice.

You smiled and rubbed the back of your neck. "Ha Yeah, but it wasn't the smartest idea. He got some good shots in."

"Taking him on by yourself was reckless." Aizawa lectured.

Hitoshi rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to defend you but you interrupted him. "You're absolutely right." Hitoshi looked at you surprised. "It was incredibly reckless, but unfortunately the back up that I called for was taking too long to arrive so I had to make a choice. Risk my safety or risk the safety of innocent civilians." Aizawa quirked his eyebrow. "As a pro hero it's our duty to put others safety first, so that's what I did."

To everyone's surprise Aizawa chuckled. "I'm glad you haven't lost your convictions Kubo. I was just testing you to see if you had gotten arrogant."

You were surprised. "Wow...thanks Aizawa."

The night went on and you had a great time getting to know Hitoshi's parents. You all noticed Aizawa drinking quite a bit and kept asking for refills on his wine and then beer when that ran out. Mihoko was telling a story about Hitoshi getting his first cat on Christmas and how excited he was. You loved hearing stories from his childhood.

When you were all done eating the fantastic curry dinner Mihoko went to the kitchen to get the pie you had brought. Hajime and Aizawa, both a little tipsy, were discussing something between themselves. Hitoshi leaned over to you and wrapped an arm around you. "How are you doing?" He asked quietly so only you could hear.

"I'm good. Your parents are awesome. I'm having a great time." You replied in a hushed voice.

"They both love you." Hitoshi said giving you a sweet kiss on the cheek before resting his forehead against yours. "I love you."

You smiled, so full of love and happiness. "I love you too Toshi."

"I'm so proud of you two." Aizawa's semi slurred statement made the both of you look over to him.

"You're what?" Hitoshi asked.

"I said, I'm proud of you two." He repeated. "I know I pushed you both really hard during your time at UA, and yes, I did advise you to avoid attachment. I didn't expect either of you to listen to me to be honest."

You and Hitoshi gave each other confused looks before looking back at Aizawa.

Aizawa took another sip of his drink. "I could see how much you were drawn to each other, so I know it wasn't easy to disregard your feelings. But you two acted like pros, even in your first year. You worked hard and you both because great heroes. I'm very proud that you were my students.”

This actually made the two of you choke up. This confession was so unexpected. Aizawa really was like an additional parent. Mihoko has returned with pie and served everyone.

"So you weren't just trying to keep us apart because you were a jaded grump?" Hitoshi teased taking a piece of pie from his mother.

"Hey, I may jaded grump, but I still believe in love." Aizawa said running his fingers through his hair. You couldn't resist doing what you did next.

You took out your phone and started recording.

"Sorry, Aizawa I didn't catch that. What did you say?"

Aizawa slurred louder this time. "I said I'm a jaded old grump, but I still believe in love!"

"Oh my god, perfect." You stopped recording and started to compose a message.

Aizawa caught on. "What are you doing Kubo?" He asked sternly.

"Oh nothing, just sending that to Miss Joke." Hitoshi, Hajime, and Mihoko erupted with laughter as Aizawa's face went white as a ghost.

"Don't you dare Kubo!" He tried to grab your phone, but you hit send before he could get it it. Aizawa stares daggers at you. The silence was broken by Aizawa's phone chiming. He slowly checked it and his eyes got wide. "Why did you give Joke my number?!"

You threw your arms up innocently. "That I cant take credit for."

Hitoshi raised his hand and smirked. "But I can."

You gasped then smiled and gave each other a high five. Hajime was still laughing. "You two are something else."

(Part 2 posted)

[steampoweredstrawberry]

Is it too much to ask you all those questions?

*Rubs hands together*

1. Your first OC ever?

I probably had OCs as a kid. Probably a Sailor Moon one or a Harry Potter OC (Most likely had a Harry Potter OC. The only one I can name for certain though was a witch named Caroline with an affinity for fire magic.

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

Right now? Claudia Hawke. I love talking about her and drawing her and writing her. Plus, she has a super cute boyfriend who I also love talking about and drawing.

3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?

Lol. Yeah. I have a few of @mikagesshoku‘s OCs now. The first was an ancient vampire named Mark (not his real name, but what he goes by in modern times). She liked how I wrote him and characterized him, so he became my son. Her Hawke, Quentin, is also now my Hawke (and Claudia’s big brother). She also prefers how I write her Mahariel.

4. A character you rarely talk about?

Of my DA OCs? Aeducan and Brosca. Nothing against dwarves, I just haven’t fleshed them out very well.

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?

Claudia Hawke. Her being popular and people wanting me to write/draw her would come with the ulterior motive of getting to write/draw Anders.

6. Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?

Claudia Hawke and Elira Bassat. Elira’s a bit taller and her hair is straight, but they’re both sassy, dual-wielding red heads. My old RP buddy actually confused one of my first drawings of Claudia for Elira (Claudia’s since had some cosmetic changes to make them look more different).

7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories?

Yes! I write for Claudia a lot.

You can find her here, here, and here. (Note: All of these contain graphic depictions of sex, so read at your own risk)

8. Do you RP as any of your OCs? If you do, introduce one of your RP OCs here!

Elira Bassat was my OC that I RPed the longest as, but don’t anymore. She’s a sassy, dual-wielding red head, she’s nb, but generally prefers she/her or them/they pronouns (occasionally he/him). She’s also a big fan of vigilante justice.

9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?

Hypothetically, yes. I couldn’t name which one, but if their new parent was going to treat them well, I would.

10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design?

I generally try to keep them toned down or believable in appearance. But, there’s Rhyann Tabris, my tiny elf baby with snow-white hair (I say the quickening still effects elves and it made her hair go white as a child). She’s got a billion freckles and carries around a big sword.

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a "sunshine"?

So, an optimist? I don’t know if I have any of those with my DA OCs. Probably Solona Amell. She’s the most likely to keep her chin up and try to cheer up the others.

12. Name an OC that isn't yours but who you like a lot

I absolutely love @kirkwallgirl‘s Jay Hawke and @misterwiggums‘s Mads Hawke. They’re both super cute and love the mage!

13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs?

Claudia Hawke. She’s best friends with Isabela. They get into lots of trouble.

14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory

I think of my DA OCs, I think Rhyann Tabris has a very tragic backstory. I relate to it on a personal level, which was why I chose her (they’ve all got super sad backstories, hers just resonates with me).

15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people?

YES! Oh my God, if you guys want to ask me about my OCs, please do! I’d love to hear about all of yours, too!

16. Which one of your OCs would be the best at biology (school subject)?

Solona Amell. She’s a healer.

17. Any OC OTPs?

With other OCs? I don’t know. Neria Surana and Solona Amell (as part of a polymance with Jowan, but he’s not my OC). With non OC characters, Claudia Hawke x Anders and Rhyann Tabris x Alistair Theirin.

18. Any OC crackships?

I don’t have any with just OCs. With OC x canon, I’m planning on writing a Claudia Hawke/Karl Thekla/Anders bi polymance in the future. Not really a crack ship (though I guess it is if you HC Karl as being gay; I’m in the he’s bi/pan camp), but I never thought I’d be pairing Claudia up with Karl before the idea struck me.

19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)

Rhyann Tabris means a lot to me because she was my first OC in a Dragon Age game, my first playthrough, and her origin really resonated with me.

20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?

Originally, Elira Bassat was a singer and she was supposed to sound a bit like Sara Taylor/Chibi from The Birthday Massacre, but I scrapped that.

Claudia Hawke enjoys singing, but she isn’t particularly good. I imagine she sings a little bit of everything, though I like the idea of her dramatically singing along to Helena by My Chemical Romance.

21. Your most artistic OC

Probably Elira Bassat. She isn’t an artist, but she’s pretty damn good at costume makeup.

22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how?

I don’t think anyone mischaracterizes them.

23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

Sophie Cousland. I was originally going to romance Alistair with her, but I was too attached to Rhyann x Alistair, so Sophie became Aro/Ace.

24. If you could meet one OC of yours, who would it be and why?

Claudia Hawke, because she’d bring Anders with her.

25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)

Elira Bassat shared my build, height, and hair color at the time (I’m no longer a red head). But, I’ve given Rhyann Tabris a lot of my facial features.

26. Have you ever had to change your OC's design or something else about them against your will?

I’ve renamed OCs in the past. Can’t think of any off the top of my head, though.

27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song?

Like, did I base them off a song? I don’t think I have any OCs like that.

28. Your most dangerous OC?

Claudia Hawke or Rhyann Tabris.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they're going?

Probably Solona Amell. She wouldn’t want to trouble anyone with her curiosity. Claudia would go too, but half of Kirkwall would know she was going.

30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?

Rhyann Tabris. In a modern AU, she probably saves every stuffed animal Alistair has ever gave her or won her at a carnival and loves them all.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Solona Amell’s would be a lot of quotes from book, pictures of pretty cups of tea/coffee, plants, and the occasional cute animal. Mostly aesthetic.

32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?

In a survival/horror, Rhyann Tabris because she fits the personality archetype they use for those sorts of games (timid female protagonist).

33. Your shyest OC?

Rhyann Tabris. She’s extremely shy, and tends to avoid most human men until they earn her trust.

34. Do you have any twin characters?

Sophie Cousland has a twin brother named Jarak. He’s a bit flirty, but is overall a good person.

35. Any sibling characters?

Claudia Hawke has an older brother named Quentin. He’s a mage and she’s extremely protective over him.

36. Do you have OC pairs where the other part belongs to someone else (siblings, lovers, friends etc)?

Rhyann Tabris is the cousin of @mikagesshoku‘s Lyna Mahariel and Misali Mahariel. Claudia Hawke is also friends with Lyna.

37. Introduce an OC who is not quite human

All of my elves/dwarves/qunari? I’m in the mood to mention Thaliah Lavellan, though, given she’s a Dalish elf. She also hooks up with a Qunari.

38. Which one of your OCs would be the best dancer?

I say Claudia Hawke is a former ballet dancer in a modern AU. Though, I imagine Sophie and Jarak are pretty light on their feet, given they’re nobles.

39. Introduce any character you want

I’m world building for an original story in some of my free time, and the main character is named Lilika, though she goes by Lily for most of the story. She’s a seer raised by a wlw couple since she was around 10 years old and she’s blind in her right eye.

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!

Whenever anyone leaves nice comments/tags on artwork I do of them! I’ve had a couple people comment that Claudia and Rhyann are very pretty, and it makes me so happy (especially with Rhyann because I gave her some of my features that I consider ugly).

41. Has anyone drawn fanart of your OCs? If yes, maybe show a picture or two here (remember sources & permissions!)

I sadly don’t have any pictures on my current phone of it, but my nephew drew Claudia Hawke and one of his characters from the comic books he likes to draw hanging out. It was really cute.

42. Which one of your OCs would be the most interested in Greek gods?

I’m really tempted to say all of them and leaving it at that, but I’d bet money that Neria Surana went through a very intense Greek mythology period of her life.

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It's time to confess

YES. I like tall girls with red hair and who are also the more dominant partner in a relationship. I’ve been getting better with it. But I do have at least five red heads, most of which are tall, and most of which are the more dominant partner in a relationship.

44. Something you like about your OCs in general

I love them all and how they all have various facets of me. I try to make them all a little bit like me.

45. A character you no longer use?

I used to RP as Nikolai (a vampire) quite regularly, but I haven’t in years.

46. Has anyone ever told you that you treat your OCs badly?

Yes. My old RP buddy used to tell me all the time that I was being mean to our OCs, but in a you’re being mean, but it makes the story so good way.

47. Has anyone ever (friendly) claimed any of your OCs as their child?

The same RP buddy from number 46 did. He’d call our OCs our “children”, so his were my children too.

48. OC who is a perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure

Solona Amell. She’s a precious child who deserves love.

49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes

Claudia Hawke, Quentin Hawke, Neria Surana, Jarak Cousland, Elira Bassat. Most of them.

50. Give me the good ol' OC talk here. Talk about anything you want

Claudia Hawke and Sophie Cousland are named after characters from The Chipmunk Adventure. Claudia was the name of the villain and Sophie was the name of her dog. Quentin is named after a character from a book and his appearance is based somewhat off the same character.
