Despite having finished Psychonauts I don't think the fixation is gonna wear off (time to watch a Rhombus of Ruin playthrough!) so I will be plaguing your askbox/page (/lh+silly)
For an ask about your Psychonauts OCs, what do you think they'd be like in-game, if you could interact with them? Or how do you think they'd be towards Raz? I've seen some of your characters and they make me go silly /pos, so I'm curious about them :3
Hi hi basically all of my ocs are written as if they were in game characters fhfjvk
This includes mental worlds and game mechanics and such!
The curb this post being extremely long and just a run down of Everything about my ocs. Iâll group them up. (Even tho a lot of this will probably still be restating lol)
So the C.R.I.M.E. agents function basically entirely as antagonists for the most part. Given the uh. Villainous nature of the organization lol. They all kind of act Banterly towards the psychonauts and especially Raz. But do not take this as them being bad at their jobs!! The only cringefail villain really is Ant, I canât play up the âvillain but they actually suck XDâ trope that much it would get annoying to write lmaoo. I will single out Dexter specifically to note that he was written as a perfect foil/arch nemesis whatever to Raz. The two are also âaccidentally friendsâ because they would 1000% get along well if it werenât for their circumstance. That being said Dexter is probably just as good, and just as bad, of an agent as Raz. They were written to be comparable. Another note Iâll make is towards Neo Cortez. Heâs the founder of CRIME, and probably stands out as a possible âmain antagonistâ. Hes extremely self serving and ends up garnering the contemp of his own agents along with the psychonauts eventually.
Now Cheri! She was originally made, as my first oc, to be a new mentor for Raz after what happens in the events of pn2 (though I reckon Iâll probably have to change that if a pn3 comes out and they expand on that). Sheâs an ex-villain, similar to Oleander, but a lot farther back and was âevilâ for a bit longer too. She kind of âpretendsâ to still be evil because she thinks itâs funny, but itâs mostly just cartoonishly dastardly things. Imagine Queen from Deltarune with Kris or Noelle but instead of being Genuine itâs just a bit. She has a loott of baggage sheâs just kind of. Holding onto. She got a handle on her mental spiral back when the psychonauts had stopped her previously, but that doesnât really mean anything was fixed. Anything in game with her mainly circles around helping her with that, but also her helping Raz! She is a mentor after all. She teaches Raz electrokinesis (more specifically how to deflect it) and an alternate form of mental projection
Mirage and KC are more background characters. I still need to post about Mirage. Most of their connections to the canon come from not Raz, so itâs hard to fit them in a game-like narrative. Theoretically you could probably chat with them regardless tho. KC is Dogenâs friend, so after awhile she kinda becomes friends with Raz too :-]
I also have the Donatella headcanon backstory characters, but I donât think I say anything more about them other than âtheyâre just the family members I thought up for Donatella because I wanted to write a backstory for herâ without sounding like a broken record. They would probably eventually have a reunion with the Aquatos tho! Razâs favorite Aunt would be Fran (and her wife) :-]

I donât really have any questions but can we hear about some more of your villain ocs life outside of well villainy? Do they have a home somewhere or do they just live at headquarters? What they do outside of work? Etc.
So all of the main CRIME agents live at headquarters, thereâs a bunch of other villains that work there or work with them that live somewhere else, but for the most part the actual ocs live there lmaoo.
Minerva definitely has a secret lair somewhere not attached to hq, same with maybe Wanda, but they donât necessarily *live* there. Batty is INCREDIBLY elusive to the psychonauts and just general public, his laboratory is apart of the HQ. Batty was one of the founding members (when he was pretty young) so he was already living in the hq when it was just an old bunker.
Dexter has a decently sized bedroom there that just looks like a normal 10 year old comic nerd boyâs bedroom, with some added criminal plans and inventions. Antâs office and attached bedroom is RIGHT next to Dexters, so their ants escape on the occasion and crawl into Dexâs room lmaoo. Ant technically has a home elsewhere, he used to live with his parents before going to college, he ended up dropping out but his parents donât really know thatâ so his old family house probably still has a room for them and stuff but for all intents and purposes they live at HQ.
Cortez is the founder and he just ALSO lives there too, but itâs less of a normal âhaving a room going to the communal kitchen for foodâ living situation that everyone else has.

You mentioned in my last ask that ant went to college which confuses me because I thought he was a child lmao
Do you mind clarifying?
OH Ant is like 22-23, I mentioned their age probably a grand total of ONCE here before I even posted their ref lmaooo. But yeah! Ant grew up incredibly awkward, sheltered, and helicopter parented by their parents, before going to college and secretly dropping out ! Dexter is the only kid CRIME agent haha

I saw your post about Tdov
And was wondering about you trans Psychonauts villain headcannons (oc and cannon)
!!
For canon characters I headcanon Loboto as transmasc and Oleander as genderqueer!
I really think Oleander wouldnât rlly find out until he was older, like maybe even post psychonauts 1 n 2, mainly because he probably had a lot of toxic masculinity pressured onto him from his family environment lingering over. Especially given some of the things in his mind/some of his dialogue lines + not being able to get into the military and such. Iâm sure Raz going into his mind and clearing some family trauma up in there tho rlly would help him figure that out later on tho!
For loboto I really donât have a complex headcanon for him. His parents probably werenât supportive, and his short hair in his mind as a kid was probably either just his self imaging on how he wanted to look as a child, or he took some scissors to his hair and his mom had to neaten it up even if she didnât want his hair that short.
Okay now ocs!
Dexter is a trans guy! His parents had a really, wishy-washy personality for actually caring about Dexter, and by the time he really came out heâs already so much of a âproblem childâ that his parents probably just Didnât really care what he did gender wise. He was always type to actively fight any sort of girl perceptions of him, even before he knew he was trans. Most of his clothes pre-villainy consisted of t shirts and shorts exclusively (not really how he wanted to dress, but still itâs not girly clothes lmaoo) he Definitely just took a pair of scissors to his hair and just cut it short himself, probably in a public bathroom with some scissors he stole who knows.
Battyâs also a trans guy (I am not immune to trans boy having trans guy mentor gender envy) he grew up in such a weird environment (being an orphanage scientific experiments were conducted in) that he Really didnât have the freedom to do anything for himself until he was like 16, when he left. He never presented femininely, not exactly by choice but he didnât dislike it. He kind of just continued to present masculinely as he grew up, but this time socially transitioning as well. He realized he was trans younger than that, but probably didnât do anything on account of âyeah he Wanted to be a boy, but he didnât know he could just Do thatâ until he was out on his own.
Wanda is a trans woman! I think she would probably have had more of a neutral environment like Dexter, not really transphobic, but not really super supportive either. I think she wouldâve found out when she was a preteen, like 11-13 ish. I donât really have much for Wandaâs parents, but I kinda wanna think up something for them, I think it would be interesting if it was like, she had a lot of siblings/really busy parents that they just didnât rlly remember which one she was anyway so she kinda flew under the radar with being trans anyway.
Ant! Ant! Theyâre non binary (they/he), thereâs really not much to their backstory in the ways of trans things, I think their parents would be supportive, but I also think they were SUPER OVERLY SHELTERING like to an extreme degree, so any sort of love was probably held over his head to make him anytime he wanted to leave them or what have you. Idk if they woulduse their support as leverage. But maybe.
Lastly Minerva isnât âcanonicallyâ trans in oc world or whatever but I think she has some transfem swag. Old woman weird hag tfem swag

Not the most exciting post, but I reallllllyyyy need to stop putting off posting these so! Ant and Minerva from C.R.I.M.E! U wont really see them much but theyâre still there! The main three are really just Batty, Dex, n Wanda plot wise
All of the CRIME agents have voice claims, so Iâm probably compile that all into one post eventually but
Hereâs these two for now
And some funny Ant info. I think Iâve talked about them here before like Once. Never really got the chance to talk about Minerva anywhere tho bc she never rlly piqued anyoneâs interest lol.
Aaaaaaand finally a wip Iâll never finishâ

Whoâs Ant? I saw them in sketch where Dex hits them with a sandwich but when I search their name I donât see anything
Oh! Yeah ant has been a character that almost exclusively lives on my Instagram story n conversations w/ my friends lmaoo
Theyâre one of two other members of CRIME, they (n the other person) r slightly less important and Batty, Dex, n Wanda, but! I still love themđ
Theyâre an ant-based zoolingualism specialist named Adam Shoebottom! The name Ant came from when he was in college, people usually just called him âant guyâ or âthe ant guyâ so it just stuck lmaoo.
I donât wanna post their full colored ref yet bc I want that to have its own post but!
The litle wip Ant !!
Also a horrendous amount of screenshots of me talking about them I could add more but Iâm refraining

I love all of them so much and I love how they're implemented into the games!! I know damn well if they got to be in the games people would love em
Learning about other people's characters is so fun nd neat I wanna put them in a snowglobe and shake em around (they would kill me or mildly injure me for doing so but âď¸đż)

Lol forgot the rest of the questionâ
As for stuff they do outside of work, they all have their own little hobbies, most of which are psychic based. The agents do go to like, normal stores and restaurants on the occasion and actually pay for stuff. Wanda and Ant both have âcivilian clothesâ too.
CRIME hq is directly next to/in the sea. So Wanda likes to do water activities by HQ! She used to be a mechanic and plumber in her pre-villainy so she actually enjoys going around a fixing stuff around hq! (Or like reworking stuff so theyâre set up in a comically weird way a la sink water being controlled by a light switch). Battyâs bread and butter is just SCIENCE, so he loves inventing new things and researching when he isnât deploying his inventions and ideas in missions. Batty also loves playing the piano for the non work related hobbies. I could go more in depth into all of their hobbies but this post would be so long lmaoo.
Dexter for the first year or so just hangs around hq, does Dexter things like video games and reading comic books and such. When heâs like 12 or so Batty ends up pulling some strings to make him go back to school again and he . Isnât very happy about thatâ batty helps him with his homework itâs fine :-)
Antâs whole thing (and origin of their nickname) is just BEING OBSESSED WITH ANTS so, most of their hobbies are just ants. Or ant related. They do some technology and programming stuff in their free time but there not a huuuge inventor like Batty. Other than that one of Antâs jobs in the hq is handling the mail!! And with that they love opening other peopleâs mail and reading itâ
Minerva is ooooooldd so she enjoys the common old person activities, she really lives weaving and other thread related fiber craft. She also probably just watches bad reality tv shows and makes fun of them with her tv star experience lmaooo (Dexter likes joining in).
I donât really have any questions but can we hear about some more of your villain ocs life outside of well villainy? Do they have a home somewhere or do they just live at headquarters? What they do outside of work? Etc.
So all of the main CRIME agents live at headquarters, thereâs a bunch of other villains that work there or work with them that live somewhere else, but for the most part the actual ocs live there lmaoo.
