#Frieda Contritus

Frieda, commissioned from the awesome @notedchampagne

[sunnylucy31]

Some asks I got for these in discord, reposting my answers here:

Pierce is on the spectrum, though she does a good job of masking most of the time (until you get her talking about her special interest which is stars and astrology (fun fact she can tell your star sign just by looking at you, very useful power)).

Frieda has BPD, and she handles it by not handling it (that is, she bottles up everything related to it, The Queen must not show weakness to subordinates). Her people don’t say her name and only refer to her as “the queen” out of respect, but a large part of her believes it’s because they disapprove of her (RSD will have you making logical leaps like that, it’s a bitch).

20. Frieda is often jealous of how tight knit her peoples’ bonds with each other are; as the queen she’s often excluded from that since everyone else puts her on a pedestal (as noted previously, they refer to her by title rather than name). More specifically she’s jealous of Hunter’s ongoing thing with Siren, as she’s been yearning for his attention for years and never received it (not in the way she wants, anyway). Again, she handles this by bottling it up, as the queen cannot be distracted by such trivial emotions. Good thing glass bottles are famously sturdy, this practice will surely continue to be a sound one.

If Maya is jealous of anything, it’s her peers’ ability to be content with tedium. With a perfect memory, she’s painfully aware of how much repetition the average day has, but her fellows don’t seem to notice, or if they do, don’t seem to care. Hell, some of them appear to find comfort in the routine, the normalcy. She attempts to shake this feeling off, but like everything else in her flawless recall, she can never entirely put it away.

25. My favorite aspects of both are going to be the angsty parts because apparently I’m a sadist.

For Frieda it’s the dehumanization. The Titans made her to be a living weapon. The gods branded her as an abomination for existing. And her own people turned her into a martyr, a Messiah figure that could prop up their fragile hopes. At no point does Frieda get to be Frieda; She’s Zero, or Priority Target One, or The Queen. Max will be the first person to treat her as human in a long time, and that’s going to be a profound moment for her that I really look forward to.

For Maya it’s going to be exploring all the detriments to a flawless memory and how the human psyche wasn’t meant to handle having that sort of ability. Imagine every mistake you’ve ever made, every abuse you’ve suffered, every pain you’ve felt, as crystal clear in your mind as the moment it happened. How do you heal? How do you move on? I do so love a good “your great power is really a curse” trope.

Frieda certainly wouldn’t think she could get away with it. Tenet Two of the demititans’ code is to do no willful harm against a fellow demititan, and to her mind she isn’t above the code. Her people on the other hand would feel differently. As I said above, they’ve turned her into their Messiah; all their hopes for survival rest in her. While it would be a deeply unsettling event for many, they’d find some way to justify it if only to keep her at the forefront, to keep her trying to save them.

4. Frieda’s innate instinct when scared is to freeze, followed by flee. Years of training have embedded a fight response in her, but part of her still feels the urge to run and hide when shit gets scary.

9. “Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out til too late that he's been playing with two queens all along.” -Terry Pratchett

19. Rage makes Frieda’s calm and collected queenly mask fall away entirely. It’s the one emotion she’s never had much practice at containing, so when it comes out, it really comes out. Violence is basically a guarantee at that point.

The Many Faces of Frieda: All the games I've made her in!

Final Fantasy XIV (This is more or less the "base" version of her that I use as a reference for the others)

Bloodborne (I keep her face covered to disguise how fucking awful this game's dark skin palette is; it looks way too red/purple)

Elden Ring

Elite Dangerous

Dragonball Xenoverse 2

Stardew Valley

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

I'd love to make her in more games, but not many character creators have yellow eyes as an option... If you know of any others, tell me!

The Tomb of Time Band AU

My good friend Kait put forth the idea of my demititan OCs making a band, and that idea took root in my brain like a parasitic worm, so I made a few album cover mock-ups with FF14 and Clip Studio Paint! I imagine them primarily doing symphonic rock, with Frieda as the frontman/lead singer, Hunter on percussion, Maya on keyboard/synthesizer, Pierce on bass, and Siren on electric guitar/backup vocals. Their sound would probably have a dark fantasy vibe.

Now if only I knew how to make music to go with these...

[sunnylucy31]

Frieda: Twin Celestial Bronze khopeshes.

Hunter: His fists, empowered by his supernatural strength.

Maya: Titan magic. Notably, she doesn’t use a catalyst like other mages, on account of the Titanic sigil carved into her back.

Pierce: An Imperial Gold spear.

Siren: A small collection of Celestial Bronze knives.

What’s your OC’s weapon of choice?

[sunnylucy31]

I want her Titanic majesty to paradox fuck me in the time hole

The Tomb of Time cast: What do the demititan leaders say (and think) about the others?

Frieda, Daughter of Kronos

Hunter: “She is the hope of our people, the best chance we have at survival. It’s my privilege to serve as one of her Hands. I’ll do whatever I can to ease her burden, even if it means giving my own life.” The isolation of her role has clearly been getting to her lately. She’s been more forward with her advances. Much as it pains me, I have to harden my heart and rebuke her. She’s the symbol our people need. She must be their Queen, and I must be her Hand. It’s too late for us to be anything else.

Maya: “Her grace is a beacon of power and hope. I serve faithfully as her Hand and Memory.” She remains an insecure and emotionally unstable girl beneath a thin veneer of regality. The facade is so weak that I have to assume willful ignorance on the part of the masses. They’re desperate for a Messiah, and without an abrupt change in disposition, I don’t believe she will be one. She lacks the spine to do what is necessary, whatever her assurances to the contrary.

Pierce: “I admire her immensely, both as a warrior and a leader. She’s the model I strive towards in training and my responsibilities as a captain. I’ll follow her into hell itself when the time comes.” Sometimes I see her lingering on the outskirts of communal activities, like training or craft circles. Watching with a hard expression, but never joining. Does she resent how weak we are compared to her? I can’t claim to know her mind; she’s so different from the timid girl she once was, and I didn’t know her then either.

Siren: “The Queen is the strongest of us by orders of magnitude. If we have any chance of surviving, it rests with her. I’ll do whatever I can to make it easier for her.” Since she attained her true power, she’s been a completely different person, so much more composed and confident. She’s gotten a lot hotter too. Not that I’d ever act on that; I’m too far beneath her. I do have my doubts about her plans to save us… Must we become what they say we are? Is there truly no other way?

Hunter, Son of Atlas

Frieda: “My Left Hand, my most trusted confidant, and my deadliest warrior. What more can be said? I rely on him a great deal, and I shudder to think where I would be without him.” I would be long dead without him, likely by my own hand. He’s protected me since long before I donned this accursed crown. If I had even a fraction of his strength and willpower… But he knows perfectly well that I don’t. I can’t even resist the impulse to make unwanted overtures to him… How he must resent me.

Maya: “He’s dimwitted and boorish. We do not get along, save for where the Queen’s welfare is concerned. I’ll grant that he’s efficient and effective, so long as he’s creating corpses or rubble.” Grating as I find him and his tendency to make an utter ass of himself in conversation, he’s the ideal counterbalance to the Queen’s temerity. He’s willing to do whatever is necessary for the cause, even if it means holding her at arm’s length. If she only possessed his resolve…

Pierce: “He’s a damn good warrior, the best we’ve got aside from the Queen. He pushes us every day in training. We’re as skilled as we are because of him.” I’d love to have him with me in battle, but I sure as hell don’t like him. He’s way too hard on the weaker fighters. His ridiculous endurance gives him no perspective on how diverse everyone else’s limits can be. He’s especially dismissive of the girls; he only respects me cause I have a lot of muscle. And stars above, the way he treats Siren…

Siren: “I’m sure everyone else already talked up his muscles and battle skill, and talked down his personality. He’s more complicated than that. He’s harsh because our situation requires it, but he’s always the first to act when one of us needs help. Did anyone mention that? How about his sarcastic wit, or his passion for woodcarving? Didn’t think so.” All that said… I wish I felt like more of a priority to him. Or like a priority at all. I get that his duty to the Queen is important, but it often feels like he’s either avoiding me or looking for excuses to leave. Lately I wonder if he’s with me for ME, or just for the sex. Which is awesome, but… sometimes a girl wants MORE, you know?

Maya, Daughter of Mnemosyne

Frieda: “My Right Hand, the keeper of our people’s memory, and the most dangerous mage in the world. Her counsel and unerring skill in the arcane are incredible boons to both myself, and our cause.” Though she never says it, I feel her judgement every time we interact. She remembers my every misstep better than I do; she knows exactly how ill-suited I am for this. I ask far too much of her to cover for my own shortcomings… Perhaps it’d be better for everyone if she was in charge.

Hunter: “She’s a pretentious bitch, can never resist showing off just how much smarter she is than everyone else. And she’ll hold things over your head that you don’t even kind of remember. And she’s constantly calling me a moron. But she’s loyal to the cause, and deadly with her magic. Like it or not, we need her.” Hard to tell which of us hates the other more. The way she speaks to the Queen borders on treason… But, much as I don’t want to admit it, sometimes her harsh advice is what the Queen needs to hear. And the shattered throne knows she has plenty of reason to be so bitter. I don’t envy her mother’s so-called gift… I’m perfectly content being able to forget shit, thanks.

Pierce: “Others say she’s mean and impatient, but I think it’s more that she’s very focused and driven. She’s the most brilliant mind I know, and an absolute marvel with magic. Watching her weave a spell is like watching a master artist at work; there’s such poetry and grace to her every sigil and incantation. It inspired me to take up art myself, to try to capture even a fraction of that beauty… Erm, anyway, yeah.” I wish she took better care of herself. Some days I have to drag her away from her work so she’ll get some sleep, and I don’t think she’d eat at all if I didn’t bring her food. She obviously resents me for all that, but I think that’s worth making sure she’s alright. It’s… It’s not like she’d ever notice me otherwise.

Siren: “Trust me, you’ve never met a bigger bitch in your life, and that’s coming from a pretty major bitch. Problem is, she has the skills to back it up. No one’s beaten her in training for years; it’s damn hard to fight someone who can’t be tricked the same way twice.” Frankly, what pisses me off most about her is how she treats Pierce. I can’t count how many times I’ve found Pierce moping or even crying because of something she said or did. And yet Pierce continues to wait on her every need, as if the sun shines out of her ass. I don’t understand what you see in her, Pierce, but you deserve so much better…

Pierce, Daughter of Krios

Frieda: “A strong, stalwart warrior, and one of my most dependable captains. She never says much in council meetings, but that’s because she prefers to let her actions speak for her. More of our people should learn from her example.” I know very little about her as a person, other than that she personally designed her tattoos. Should a queen not at least be acquainted with the members of her court? But then, that distance is the only thing keeping them from seeing through my mask, and Pierce is more reverent of me than most. I must stand apart, for the sake of their hope…

Hunter: “She’s a capable fighter, and her precise control over her powers is impressive as well. She’ll be useful against the demigods, when the time finally comes.” She’s got a good amount of muscle for a girl, but she’s still as soft-hearted as the worst of them. So much of her energy is wasted on saccharine drawings. That runt Samantha influenced her way too much; perhaps she’ll toughen up now that distraction is gone.

Maya: “An utter nuisance, constantly distracting me from my work with extravagant cooking experiments and media recommendations. Most nights she even bodily drags me away from my lab! If such ignoramus behavior wasn’t sanctioned by the Queen, I’d stick her hands to her backside for a month.” I don’t understand her at all. My demeanor keeps all others away, and she’s undoubtedly seen the worst of it. Yet she persists; even blunt censure doesn’t dissuade her for long. What does she think she gains in needling me so? Though, my productivity does marginally decrease on the rare day she makes no appearance… Perhaps she’s worth tolerating, if only until I find the source of the correlation.

Siren: “She’s a dense motherfucker, an absolute buzzkill, and a complete fun-hater. She’s also my best friend, no contest. You can’t ask for a steadier ally at your back, or a more attentive ear to listen to your incoherent rambling at three in the morning.” I love this stupid idiot… maybe in more than one way. Don’t think anything will ever come of it, though. She ignores every not-at-all-subtle joke I make to that effect… She’s either too fixated on Maya, or she doesn’t know how to let me down easy. It’s alright, though. As long as we can fight and survive together, that’s enough.

Siren, Daughter of Oceanus

Frieda: “The most colorful personality of my captains, and perhaps our people as a whole. Maya often complains about her ‘immaturity,’ but I think she brings some needed levity to an otherwise grim setting. In situations like ours, morale is just as important as training.” She and Hunter have been together for some time now. Is it any wonder he can’t see me that way, when he already has someone so skilled, and funny, and charming, and radiant, and beautiful… Would I even be worth the notice of a girl like her, if I weren’t her queen?

Hunter: “A gem among gems. I’m proud to call her one of my partners. Get one glimpse of her and you’ll understand why.” Lately she requests more and more of my time, and is irritable when I refuse to be derelict in my duties. I understand I can only expect so much rationality from her, but I have little patience for anything that could risk the Queen’s safety. Combined with some comments she’s made in the past… Has she been having dissident thoughts? Perhaps I need to keep a tighter grip on her.

Maya: “Loud, obnoxious, and entirely too promiscuous. The less said about her, the better.” She’s the poster child for a broader, worrying trend among our forces; the tendency towards hedonism and self-indulgence. I must speak to the Queen once again about the crude things she’s permitted to say in council meetings. Morale be damned, I will not have us making ludicrous mistakes because my simpleton peers were too amused by jokes about genitalia to engage what passes for gray matter in their cavernous skulls.

Pierce: “Is she crass and smart-mouthed? Yes. Is she impulsive and getting herself into trouble? Always. Is she a major pain in my ass? Absolutely. But damn it all if she’s not my best friend anyway. I’ll go to hell and back with her, and I’ll even listen to her ramble about whatever mortal nonsense she’s excited for this week.” She’s one of a kind, and Hunter doesn’t deserve her. I don’t think she realizes that I only pretend to miss her innuendos. I hope she doesn’t, anyway. What would she do if she knew just how attractive I find her? It might ruin our friendship, and our bond is the only thing that keeps me going some days. Better to play the fool and save the pining for Maya, where at least I have nothing to lose.

Without taking new screenshots, post one of your OCs as a:

Romanceable NPC

"Some believe the future is written in the stars. Which would tell ours, I wonder?"

Quest-Giver

"Be swift and silent, and return with the hopes of our people. Life and solace."

Final Boss

"If I must be a monster to save them, then I shall drag the gods to Tartarus with me. This is your only warning. Raise your sword against me again, and I will end you."

[sunnylucy31]

I mean. All of their relatives are Greek deities, so the drama levels are beyond mortal comprehension.

But I think Frieda takes the crown (heh) if only because she has the extra drama of having a recently discovered half-sister.

Tag the OC that has the most family drama

[sunnylucy31]

I have an oc question for you. what would each of your ocs starter pokemon companion be? (not limited to just starter pokemon btw! can be any pokemon)

Good question! Let’s see here…

Frieda: Celebi

Now obviously starting with a legendary isn’t fair or balanced, but in Frieda’s case I simply have to make an exception. As a child of Kronos with incredible power, it only makes sense to give her one of the very few time-themed Pokemon. Celebi is a better choice for her than Dialga, both for her love of plants and Celebi’s whimsical and friendly nature. This poor girl deserves a friend that will love her unconditionally.

Runner-up: Dialga

Hunter: Machop

This one’s a pretty straightforward choice. Hunter’s all muscle and loves hitting things, so what better Pokemon than one that’s all muscle and loves hitting things? A notable trait of Machop and its evolutions is that they never tire, which fits perfectly with Hunter’s near-endless endurance. They’d make great training partners, and maybe even sparring partners.

Runner-up: Makuhita

Maya: Abra

Abra’s tendency to sleep all day and only being able to use Teleport makes it a pretty poor starting choice for anyone, particularly so for impatient Maya. Long term though, it’s an excellent match. Alakazam is incredibly intelligent, something Maya values highly in a partner, and its strong psychic powers pair well with her own arcane abilities. Importantly, both Alakazam and Maya have flawless memories, a crucial point of commiseration. Now if only she can find a trading partner that she trusts to trigger the evolution…

Runner-up: Inkay

Pierce: Staryu

The first three picks were easy; this is where it got tricky. There’s not many star-themed Pokemon that aren’t legendaries (only Frieda gets a starter legend), so I thought, why not go with one that has a connection to her best friend too? I like to imagine Baby Pierce and Baby Siren were playing together on the beach one day when Pierce found a Staryu, and was immediately smitten. “They’re perfect!” she’d shout, then show an ecstatic Siren. Staryu’s been Pierce’s partner ever since.

Runner-up: Gothita

Siren: Spheal

And this one was hard because of just how many water Pokemon there are! Faced with so much choice, I think Siren would go for aesthetics, and she’d find a Spheal the most adorable thing imaginable. Not that she’d be any less attached to the evolutions; Siren’s Walrein will be a monster to be feared. It’s probably named something like Cuddles.

Runner-up: Marill

[sunnylucy31]

So, just asking, no need to reply if too weird, but if siren and Frieda make out would their ship name be fish and chicks?
