Connection & Familiarity Found in What's Been Lost

Day - 18 & 20

[backseat-imagines]

I've been reading your stuff pretty solidly the last few days (and I am really loving this all btw, you're great!) and I see OCs have been mentioned here and that you have some. Some of them wouldn't happen to be XV ocs would they? I wanna hear about them if you do.

Aww thank you so much! I am glad you’re enjoying the content here!also YES! Of course I have some, I got a small handful and every day it gets harder and harder to resist making more! Of course some of these are going to sound ridiculous but… They OC’s, they are here for fun more than anything…

I’ll give a summery of the ones I have under the readmore so I don’t clog your dash with my nonsense!

Duma Timere

The first of’em is Duma. Now surprisingly she’s not even a self insert she just kind of ended up sharing the same name as my moniker here.

Not too much is known really about where she came from, and she doesn’t remember too much of it either. But since she was young she’s been left wandering around in the Lucian Kindgom’s territory, all by herself.

Much of her childhood was spent scavenging, hunting and stealing and just trying to survive. And when she got into her teens, being bigger and starting to feel strong and invincible, she moved on to stronger targets and… getting bold enough to finally go after and try taking on people.

Of course eventually this all lead her to Hammerhead, where Duma tried stealing goods and food from them but that didn’t work. Just like Takka, she ended up getting taken in and made to work. The rest is history and she grows up the rest of the way in Hammerhead.

Duma is rough by nature. Has no regards for most authoritative and those in higher up in power positions. Rude, aggressive, defensive, short in patience, doesn’t really give too many people much time of the day. But she’s much kinder to those who she’s on friendly terms with. Though still tough and rough with them, even lightly teasing/lightly bullies them. Ofc if a friend is down then they gonna get some tlc~

(She’s good if you get her as a friend or have her view you as a sibling but outside of that she’s not one you hang around too often, but good luck getting that with her because honestly she doesn’t want to become too attached to anyone)

Zodiark

Yeah, yeah, I created my own Astral. I bought Zodiark back again and they are part of the reason why the Star Scourge became a thing.

Zodiark is just an entity made of pure darkness who hated humanity and hated the rest of the Astrals and tried to create something big to try and get rid of everything- but ultimately that failed.

In their weakened state they ended up being banished and sealed away by some of the other Astrals. However part of that entailed reverting them back to a much weaker form- Zodiark was reverted back to a much more infantile state, though only in body, but the problem is it kind of deformed their body tremendously and that doesn’t seem to be a thing they can reverse.

So they’ve been left sitting their in their own bitterness and festering, waiting for the day someone releases them once more.

(Gee I wonder who would possibly ever do that)

Very unfriendly, if you don’t get killed by Zodiark that is because you either benefit them or they are biding their time.

Has a really huge personal beef with both Bahamut and Ifrit.

Nunda Kenua

Nunda is a traveler shrouded in mystery and is brash and impulsive. Often Nunda extends a polite hand and seems like a warm person. One will feel like they’ve known’em forever, though when they think about it, they likely will reflect on the fact they don’t really know anything about Nunda.

That’s because they don’t, Nunda doesn’t allow for that most of the time. The only reason why Nunda feels like a friend is because they’re digging under the skin for some kind of reason- Nunda doesn’t honestly care and is a very cold and callous person. A very deadly one.

I bought back the prospect of Blue Mages, except this time with a little bit of a twist. They can learn and do things exclusive to certain creatures and monsters, but it’s from outright absorbing a piece of them (and with that some physical traits will end up getting changed on them for an extended time).

Nunda came from a place that was full of others like them that had that ability, but that was a long time ago and that place was wiped out, which is why you won’t find much others with that same ability. This all can also apply to daemons. No one back then really attempted to absorb them, but Nunda was exiled by their own and doing just that was a necessity, which also extended Nunda’s lifespan. We have a fossil here that’s very slightly over 1k years old.

At this point Nunda is very bored in life, is looking for a challenge. Mostly because a challenge means it could be a way of strengthening- if something poses a threat, Nunda will try to absorb them.

Gaius Labrum

Gaius is kind of a joint character between me and my one friend and they started the idea a bit and I sort of took over the rest.

He’s not originally from the Lucian Kingdom, but he’s changed his name and at this point he lives in Lestallum. He owns a flowershop. Lestallum is a very good area to actually grow a lot of his own. Though there isn’t much demand for that mostly, he does go into other crafts and sells a lot of what else he makes; Terrariums, those fancy decorative candles, paintings.

He can be a nice boy, but he’s petty as hell. Haughty- he’s got a bit of an ego and really the quickest way to get something from him is to compliment the pretty plant guy.

He’s smarter than a lot of people give him credit for, also a better fighter than most would peg him for as well.

Can pilot mechs.

Gaius doesn’t have too much of a given plot point so far, he’s just trying to exist in a quieter life. However he is related to someone in the Niflheim army.

(Since he knows flower language really well, and because sometimes he is petty, he’s not passed assembling a bouquet that will express his dislike of someone)

Okay, okay you have got to bear with me here because this name is a mouthful and… it’s utterly stupid and ridiculous but here we go…

Buttz Squall Darya Laleh Mitra Setareh Siavash Mehr Kaur

That’s right… That’s his name, and he mostly gets Buttz Squall too.

He’s a young, sneaky man who’s spent a good few years of his adult life pretty much doing a Gladiator job. Not what he wants to do but it pays him good money. Really all he’s wanted to do was have a life of adventure and actually go out and explore the world like all the heroes in those stories (though he doesn’t exactly fancy himself a hero and doesn’t expect to become one either).

He finally gets his chance at it when his sole parent ends up leaving without a trace. Buttz Squall already expected that to happen, but then suddenly it’s been months and still no call, text, letter or anything, and that concerned him. So he finally sets off on his journey just to know what’s happened to them.

He’s playful and fun to be around (sometimes, might get you into trouble other times), but also keep an eye out because he’s good at pick-pocketing.

Supposedly a lot of the pieces of his name is from him “being named after some of the best people I know”.

Never really had the chance to keep too many friends when growing up because him and his parent was traveling through a good chunk of his childhood. The closest ones he had were ones who were co-workers in his field.

Never knew his father- all that gets said is that he “was a gift from an Astral”.

Annnnd. My last one doesn’t have a name but it’s just a weird giant snake-like daemon that just blobs out like the flans and it hides in mud.
