Character info under the cut

This group of six recent high school graduates just wanted to go on a road trip before they all went their separate ways for college. Yeah that didn't work out very well.

1- Vanja Tsui. 18. She/Her. Third generation Chinese American. Planning on majoring in literature. Deaf (wears a cochlear implant). The coolest person you'll ever know.

2- Rebekah Rothschild. 18. She/Her. Jewish. Plays the violin. Probably knows math. Gay disaster.

3- Tristán Serrano. 18. He/Him. The one with a driver's license. Doesn't know how he ended up best friends with five weirdos. Still loves them all.

4- Aleksanteri Rinne. 17. He/Him. Transmasc. Classic loser boy. Soon to be art student. Childhood best friend with Tristán.

5- Eugénie Perreault. 17. She/Her. Has a band where she plays drums. Has ten pairs of tinted sunglasses. Is color blind.

6- Mick Santinera. 19. She/Her. Plays guitar and sings in Eugénie's band. The worst™. Short. No one knows what Mick is short for. Michelle? Mikayla? Whatever.

#my posts #my art #aberdeen's ocs #abe's wip: at the end of the road #cw blood #tw blood #This turned out better than I hoped #I was going for a sort of like oxenfree vibe for this drawing #My favorite details in this: Tristán and Aleksanteri's best friend necklaces #Aleksanteri's sword #The fact that I don't know how arm slings work #The fact that I don't know how to draw hearing aids and I said to myself 'oh I'll look up a reference when I line it's and forgot until I #was already adding finishing touches so hopefully it actually looks like a hearing aid and not idk random thing girl put in her ear Im sorr #I like my men like I like my women. Covered in blood #This book I'm writing went through three different plots in the planning stage before I landed on this one. This plot really is just the #vessel to showcase these characters #Actually Mick was added in the second to last plot idea because I needed a character in the group who I wasn't super attached to because sh #was gonna mysteriously disappear but then I got attached to her #But luckily in the end I found an even better plot

Gladius

The Roman gladius was a short stabbing sword that has been used to kill both opponents and dissidents throughout the history of the world. The length of the sword has varied between 60-85 centimeters. The shape has remained largely the same. The shape of the blade has been narrower in the middle in older models. The first swords were made of bronze due to the lack of iron. the Gallic warriors were the first to use the gladius sword. The gladius sword was a noble weapon equipped with every soldier's shoulder harness.

Gladius on tehnyt vuosisatojen aikana vähintäänkin yhtä kovaa tuhoa primitiivisellä tavalla, kuin kalashnikov nykypäivänä. Gladius eli miekka latinaksi oli lyhyt miekka. Se oli tehty lähitaisteluun ja etenkin pistämistä varten. Nopea ja uppoava terä oli vastustajan kaulan puhkeamiseen kallisarvoinen työkalu.

Gladius oli 60-85 cm pitkä ja kapea osittain myöhemmissä malleissa miekan muoto oli enemmän soikeampi ja keskeltä oheneva. Miekka kulki olkapäiltä ulottuvalla nahkavyöllä. Gladius oli sotilailla aina lyhyen tikarin pugion kanssa.

Lyhyt miekka on peruja falcatasta, josta Aleksanteri Suuri teki tunnetun. Gladiuksen tunnettuja käyttäjiä olivat Julius Caesar ja Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus.
