🔹 𝐎𝐂: 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 & 𝐑𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐯𝐲𝐧 🔸

My very first two OC’s in reel format! My partner and I absolutely love immersing ourselves in fantasy and roleplay. Having spent hundreds of hours in games like Lost Ark, Baldur’s Gate, as well as dabbling in some D&D, we’ve developed these OC’s pretty well over time to have some rich personality & thematics😊

Liaender is a paladin who exiled himself from his Order when he realized the true nature of their philosophies and values. It became apparent that those he swore an oath to serve, eradicated their chosen enemies out of fear or greed, rather than the justice and holiness they claim to worship. He has since become a wandering nomad with nothing in his possession but his renowned swordsmanship and his own moral compass✨ In present time, Liaender works as a sellsword, but more often than not involves himself in the endeavors of those in need more due to a sense of moral duty than any institutional allegiance 🛡️

Rhaevyn is a a half-human with demon-blood coursing through her veins since birth🩸Despite the carnivorous, flesh-consuming ways of her people, Rhaevyn grew up questioning their seeming over-indulgence in the macabre & willingness to consume humans for mere sustenance. She believes that should her kind curb their tendencies & consume the flesh of the beasts instead, they could end an ongoing war with the humans that has been waging for thousands of years⚔️

& Chai 🐈‍ is their pet familiar, who has the power to tap into one of four elements & cast a simple spell of that type when shifted💫

Since their uncanny chance encounter that culminated in a gruesome, yet evenly matched fight, the two have discovered they share more principles & views in common than they ever realized🔥Now they have agreed to a pact to help fulfill each other’s life missions that would ‘rectify’ the established institutions of their own kind in hopes for a better future for both kinds❤️‍🔥⚖️🛡️⚔️💫

I feel so scared and uncomfortable for no reason nowhere is safe or good to be and there is nowhere safe to go

Today has!!! Sucked!!! So bad!!!

It's a long story and a great addition to our list of Ongoing Horrible Situations, and we were severely triggered multiple times in a variety of ways..... Suffice to say our pre-existing disdain for cops has never been stronger.

Selfish as it is, it's a situation we have been desperately trying to remove ourself from all month anyway, and been dragged back into against our will. We started it, sort of, but after 3 days (honestly, after the horrible blow to morale at the end of the first day we started trying to withdraw, but by the end of the third we washed our hands of it... Until yesterday.) Since it's a matter involving the police and active investigations as of today we can't really even vent about details of it... But God, it sucks really bad. It's a dispute between our next door neighbor and someone else, and we are on the side of the someone else. We are scared, hurt, angry, and deeply saddened- and this is a situation not handled well by a system already so depressed we had to quit work.

Sigh. But despite the crisis, we relied on a crisis text line to get through the scary peak of our feelings (everyone clap for Wyld we are so proud of him, genuinely) and on our brother as well as our partner system to get back to our baseline. For right now at least, we are doing as OK as we can. We and all of our loved ones are safe in our home with the door locked and any danger present will only be outside. For tonight, we are safe, things are calm, and we are going to do our best to believe things will be okay for all parties involved.

The waves keep rolling in and crashing over us, we just have to focus on staying upright for now.

-Apollo, & Felix, Wyld, Bastion, and Epsilon.

✨ Updates Related To This Blog ✨

Don't worry we're not dipping or anything, we just had a meeting today and decided on some ground rules for ourselves as well as new organizational stuffs.

First: We're starting a queue and filling it with stuff from our drafts so that way when the hosts review the posts together to make sure nothing too oversharing is said (a new rule we implemented like yesterday because Artemis decided Apollo was oversharing and he had previously had sole discretion over what was considered inappropriate), which can only happen once a week or so due to us not being able to control who is in the front room very easily so we kinda have to wait for the Core Four to just happen to all be co-con at once, a whole bunch of stuff isn't just posted all at once. Our chosen tag is #thankqueue.

Next: More specific tagging will be done for organizational purposes, as well as more specific trigger tags. Organizational tags include: #ramble #life update #job related #sys gossip #headmate intro #medical related #mental health related #med related #not-system-related #source [name] #special interest [name] #rebagel #photo post #council speaks #system mapping #our art #faceclaim . Trigger tags will include: #food #food mention #nsft #body pic #body discussion #medicine #tw pills #sh mention #depression #tw depression #anxiety #medical anxiety #tw anxiety #tw paranoia #tw medical #tw hospital #tw psych hospital #tw scars #tw doubt #tw fakeclaiming . If you would like any additional tags to be added for your filtering use, please let us know! We will be keeping anonymous asks open.

And finally: With our new rules set, many overly cautious restrictions are being lifted on what is allowed to be said and posted here. Now that we will have specific trigger tags, Elas, Felix, and Wildfire will be allowed to post more of their personal things with the appropriate tags, as well as others. Expect more posts in general and please don't feel bad about filtering tags or requesting others to assist in your filtering!

We also wanted to say, we invite anyone to send asks to the system in general or to specific ones of us! If it's to someone specific we will wait until they are front or co-con to be able to answer. Anon asks welcome, all asks welcome! Also, feel free to DM us if you want to make friends!

Anyway, we love y'all, thank you and goodnight!

Sound is only okay if it's protecting me by hiding me people are only okay if they are a crowd I can disappear into both of those things are Bad Bad Bad if they are singular or just a few but if there is a Lot of them if there is Enough then it's okay and good actually

[the-nova-council]

Okay well Bastion showed up and decided we have to hide so now we are hiding in the closet.

He baffled and bewildered me right out of my depressive spiral by demanding we hide in the closet so . Now we are hiding in the closet.

He has like. Prey instincts. Is the only way I can describe the level of hyper awareness and need to be not-perceived that I am experiencing right now sharing the headspace with him.

Also he is developing a new form in the inner world and it's kinda jarring every time I look at him he looks different

[the-nova-council]

Bastion and Mino!! These two have been edited by us (the necks/heads, eye locations, and Bastion's mouth was fully redrawn) but are still originally from the same Picrew! [Baydews]

Picrew dump!! These are our picrews we love! Photo limit on Tumblr but also we edited the next two ourselves so they can be separate anyway. This is Baydews Avatar Maker V2 on Picrew!!!

We're the Council, nice to meet you! Here's a quick introduction to each of us:

Apollo ☀️ The head of the Council, our beloved leader and older brother figure. He gets shit done and we love him for that! He also keeps us functioning and we tend to fall apart when he's in the void for a long time.

Felix 🐈‍⬛ That's me, author of this post! And reluctantly the host for now. I'm the researcher and compiler of information, but I also get really sad a lot, sorryyyyy

Artemis 🌙 Our social butterfly and hair dye expert, sk8er girl, skin care routine, taker of showers and brusher of teeth. And a gossip! She does, in fact, want to hear about your friend's mom's crush who works at the drugstore, and your neighbor's beef with the mailman, please spill the tea. (Also took co-front to help write these so I'm here now, Hiiii! -Artemis)

Cora 💜 Our middle and a major component of our mask- she was the host throughout childhood! Loves to be colorful and messy. A free spirit and creative artist and poet!

Wyldfire 🔥 On all levels but physical, he is a wolf. Awooo - For real though, he has a teen form and a wolf form and is quick to anger. He likes loud, bass-heavy music, will bite people in a mean way, and has a strong sense of justice.

Elias 🪞 The only non-asexual member of this system. Has his own separate Tumblr account because he's a bit of a freak /affectionate. He is allowed to post friendly things here but if he's in a mood he will be banished to his private account and/or horny jail.

Mino ⭐ Our little! Beloved baby boy, he rarely fronts and doesn't type so good, but he is a sweetheart.

Eerie 🌀 Local gatekeeper is the only member of this system who doesn't like coffee, more at six. Eerie stays near front the majority of the time and helps things run smoothly, despite being our most recent split Apollo considers her his assistant and right hand man. (I'm his left hand man :3 -Felix)

Epsilon ⏰ Our only known fictive, so far removed from her source she is unrecognizable! A Time Lady of Gallifrey, survivor of the Time War, medic and mechanic, she is our mother figure, caretaker, and favourite backseat driver. When she fronts, we don't emote much and speak in a freakishly flat tone, and she doesn't experience many emotions! We love that for her /gen

Angel 🪽 Self-identified persecutor, he is also our oldest friend. Angel is the only member of our system who isn't atheist/agnostic, which is indeed a little weird. Nonhuman, a little creepy, rarely fronts, suspected trauma holder... Being of divine love and divine justice. And catholic Guilt. Whoops.

Additional system info: The body is 22, we collectively use they/he pronouns (individual intro posts will be made by those who want to make one when they come to front!!), we are an undiagnosed traumagenic OSDD system, we have other mental health issues we will not be listing here, English is our only language, we are American, we are queer, we don't tolerate hate or exclusion, and we are quick with the block hammer. We don't have time for discourse. We welcome any and all friendly interaction though!

Bastion 🛡️ Rare fronter, high memory barriers, low communication. He has recently begun sharing more, and even spending time in the headspace! He likes hiding (but not seeking), and bunnies. He is an age slider similar to Cora, within the 6-12 range.

Merricat 🌸 Clone of a fusion of Felix & Cora! They chose their name from We Have Always Lived In The Castle and has many traits from each of the original components of her fusion, but has grown into an individual since then and even co-fronted with Felix!

Main Blog, which existed long before we had our syscovery, and will continue to be run as usual: @apollo-zero-one
