#I will probably have to kick my sons ass tho ngl hes a little asshole

[sneakydraws]

can i tells us some stuff abt your ocs? they look really interesting

This is literally the ask I have been waiting, hoping, praying for oh my god I am bursting at the seams with love for my OCs but I’m just too dang embarrassed to spontaneously talk about them so thank you!! so!! much!! anon!! Mentions of homophobia, transphobia and abuse incoming, but nothing graphic. Okay here we GO

The basic premise of the universe is that it’s set in the near future and the existence of people with magical abilities has just been revealed to the world. Think Harry Potter world right (like five-ten years or so) after the wizarding world has stopped being secret. Except this universe’s magicians don’t really form a unified society - it’s more of a loose web of connections and smaller groups, which means they’re not organised enough to fight for their rights or fair treatment like I’d imagine HP wizards would. 

The nature of their magic is also quite different - there’s still some details I’m figuring out but the gist is humans kind of pair-bond with spirits, which allows them to release and use their inherent magical potential. These spirits pass on to their human’s offspring if they have any, and if two magicians have a child, it a) will probably not survive to infancy and b) if it survives, it’s significantly more powerful than a normal magician.

This worldbuilding is honestly only relevant to a couple of characters but I wanted to talk about it so forgive me haha moving on to the characters!

Joe and Sarah lived in the same orphanage for a short time and pretty much consider each other siblings. Sarah lived in the orphanage her whole life and doesn’t know her parents, while Joe was rejected by his family when he came out as a trans guy and subsequently ran from home. Sarah had had a knack for sneaking out of the orphanage already so when Joe hit 18 she went with him. Joe runs a bar now that is famously open to LGBT youth (that’s the official excuse for having a lot of openly trans OCs in one place tbh) and he will often help trans kids specifically get surgery/hrt with the help of Rose in exchange for an IOU. He’s got some vague ambitions and is generally a bit shady. Sarah discovered a love for kicking ass and is highly respected in the cool-as-fuck underground fighting scene. She’s probably the coolest person in the story ngl

Margaret/Maggie is a trans girl who scrapped up enough money in her home country of Russia to get to the US, hoping to find some way to transition. Terrible plan, really, but she was lucky enough to find Joe eventually. She’s bubbly to the point of coming off as unsettling for some and has a lot of charisma, easily winning people’s affection. She’s a magician but was never really trained to use her powers so the only impressive thing she can do is conjure up a badass unrealistically sized axe. She’s the oldest out of all these OCs and started out as a Soul Eater self insert!!

Martin grew up in the town where Joe and Sarah eventually settled down with an absent father and a less-than-ideal mother. In high school, while struggling with internalised homophobia (he’s bi) he fell for an older guy and got involved in a pretty damn abusive relationship. He eventually broke it off but the asshole outed him so his life really didn’t get much better until a while later, when (still in hs) he met Sarah and, via her, Joe, who came to be a huge support for him. In last year of hs he met George and writing their edgy, weird romance has been my guilty pleasure ever since. He eventually dropped out of hs without graduating and though not perfect, his life got significantly better. Still kind of a giant mess tho

George comes from a pretty wealthy background with his mother a retired Very Important Person in this universe’s police/guard structure (it’s very vague and fantasy inspired, don’t think about it too much please). When he was little, his cousin was orphaned and adopted as his older sister, and his parents quickly shifted their hopes from their completely unambitious son to her. He’s still a highly skilled swordsman though, and spent most of his education in stuck-up boarding schools. When last year of high school came around he convinced his parents that moving into the shithole of a town that joe&co live in is a great idea, really and they actually let him do it!! So he spends his last year blowing off school, making connections in order to one day take over the town’s police/guard thing and making out with Martin once he stopped being a coward about it. Eventually he does take over the police/guard thing and despite being an uninterested dickbag about everything he doesn’t do too badly. I actually base a lot of his personality off of myself but like, if I didn’t have social anxiety? So he’s permanently tired and judgemental and vaguely annoyed at the world and utterly devoid of ambition but has somewhat of a gold heart maybe.

Blue is a girl who also comes from a wealthy background and knew George since they were little kids. Her parents were quite abusive and she has a lot of trauma related to her childhood but she managed to escape her home after hitting adulthood (i know there’s a lot of running from home. it’s entirely because i was 13 when i wrote these characters.) but since she had basically no knowledge of the world she looked for the only person she knew, which is George. She eventually managed to find him and while he did help her their relationship is extremely strained, mostly because though George knew about her situation and arguably had the means to at least try to do something about it he stayed silent due to his own hangups. There’s more and George’s sister is involved as well but that’s the gist of it and there’s a LOT of resentment between them. She’s a magician but the stress of her childhood caused her powers to be a bit unstable and she’s only beginning to get a proper hold on them with the help of Maggie and Aurelia

Julia and John are twins who also escaped an abusive home (told ya) and, much like Maggie, came to Joe to seek help with John’s transition. Julia is very protective of him but is dealing with her own problems, mostly stemming from her feelings of insecurity and weakness which morph with her anxieties about femininity into a powder keg about to explode any moment now. John on the other hand is a shy, awkward boy who mostly just wants peace and quiet in his life and he finds those in Aurelia, with whom he quickly becomes close and they eventually start dating.

Aurelia lives with her mother and works in their inn, hoping to one day be wealthy enough to support her mother and the people she holds dear. She’s a magician and mostly uses it in very lowkey ways, in the kitchen or around the house, kind of an oldschool witch. She’s very community-oriented and eager to help any newcomers. Very hardworking to the point where she can push herself too far, kind and caring but also headstrong and pretty stubborn. 

okay i should go walk my dog and also probably…….. do schoolwork…….. but there’s still important characters i’ve left out who i’d love to talk about so let me know if you want to hear more because i’m so!! fuckin!! excited!!

[ nervous sweatin ] .... what do u mean i’ve lowkey had this written since i got accepted ... haha wyd ...., lsiten hello ! it’s ya girl rat baby ( van ) & u can catch me chillin ( like a villain ) in australia ! i’m so pumped 4 this group u actually have no idea ... i’m so lit ngl ?? anyway lsiten i’m boring but .. idk if u think i’m cool enough ( what a fuckin joke ) i can give u my sk*pe .., anyway i need 2 stop ramblin abt me & start ramblin abt my mess of a son, aleksander !

✱ ∘ ° ━ [ thomas hayes ] did you see that foreigncr has joined NERVE ? irl, he is known as aleksander tveit, a twenty year old cis male from oslo, norway. inside the game, he has 9.9k watchers, mostly because he has paired up with any fc to complete their dares. the chemistry major is the isolato of chicago for being adept & telegenic, as well as taciturn & saturnine. oh man, i hope he survives.

so ! aleksander ! my .. fuckin mess of a son tbh

( perfectly fluent in english but chances are he’ll start talkin shit in norwegian )

he was born in oslo, norway, to two teenage parents who didn’t quite know what to do. they knew that they loved each other unconditionally, though, and they loved their son, so with the help of two wonderfully helpful sets of grandparents, they raised aleks into a home filled with love. he was never showed anything but sheer, unadulterated affection and warmth, and as a result, he grew up with a very strong idea of what love is, and he refuses to settle for anything less than what his parents have showed him.

his school life was remarkable. from an early age, aleks showed incredible proficiency in every single science possible. biology, physics, chemistry, you name it and he was brilliant at it. his aptitude for sciences and maths was, and remains to be, absolutely incredible. literal einstein ?? my clever boy i luv him

as a young child, aleks was everything you could ever want your son to be. he was talkative, INCREDIBLY intelligent, caring, selfless, and just ??? fuckin top-notch son ??? brilliant child ???

but because i luv torturing all my halfway-happy muses, shit fucks up when he turns twelve. his parents decide to take him on a drive, and end up in a single-vehicle collision. both his parents are killed on impact, but aleks miraculously survives -- albeit with a broken nose, six broken ribs, and a broken arm. 

he’s instantly put into his grandparents’ care, and is put into counseling for ptsd. from that moment, he completely closes off to the outside world. to his grandparents, he’s still the same sunny, lovely aleks, but to anyone else he’s completely different. 

it’s around this time that he really begins to shove all his energy into science, and he literally lives in the labs. legit if u wanna take him on a date just take him to a science lab ??? give him some chemicals ??

anyway !! enough w the tragedy tbh

the rest of his life kinda blurs together, in a giant mess of college and counseling and grief and alcohol ( at merely seventeen, he was bordering on full-blown alcohol dependency ) and jesus he’s just a wreck for a while

but anyway he’s less shitty now

modern-day aleks !!

he currently lives in a spacious, but dingy little flat in chicago. his kitchen is usually a mess bc he uses it as a lab, and the entire place smells like chemicals. his landlady keeps on saying she’ll kick him out if he doesn’t get his act together, but she’s too soft on him to do it. plus, when he does clean up and cook, he always brings some down to her.

deep, deep, deep down, aleks is a complete sweetheart ?? like he’s so soft it’s unreal ?? he’s only rly soft w his landlady, his grandparents and his girlfriend/boyfriend who he does his dares with ( ! wanted ! connection ! )

he’s a chemistry major w a minor in astrophysics bc he’s still the cleverest fuck ever ?? don’t ever get him started on science bc if u ask him abt things he will legit light up ?? he gets rly excited and talks so fast he slurs his words and trips over them 

he’s v v v v closed-off n kind of an asshole to ppl who rly don’t know him well ??? he doesn’t ever speak much n he just kind of ?? idk ppl think he’s an asshole it’s chill

( is he an asshole ??? sometimes )

he’s v introverted n tbh bein around lots of ppl tires him out so he just kinda hangs out in his lab n his apartment

he used to drink a lot to deal w things but now he only drinks socially ?? he smokes like a chimney tho 

will 100% talk shit in norwegian abt u if u piss him off

he started doing dares to kind of deal with the grief he still has over his parents ?? when he’s doin dangerous shit he isn’t thinkin abt them as much and he kind of ?? doesn’t care if he dies or anything because it means he’ll see them again and he doesn’t rly believe in heaven or that shit but he believes in being reunited w his parents and that legit fuels him

loves doin dares tbh ?? he’s reckless n messy n he gonna die

he probably has most of his views based on the fact that he’s lowkey the prettiest boy to ever walk this earth ...... ppl just wanna look @ him doing things and he never bothers wearing his glasses when he’s filming w alina

liste n ,,,, tumblr probs will fuck me up n not lemme message anyone so ,,, hmu for plots ??? i ahve a few lil ideas that i’ll shove here bc why not

i get rly rly rly nervous abt askin for connections like this but .... give him a bf/gf ...... give him someone who sees nothin but how soft he is n how wonderful he is ..... give him someone who puts up w his anti-social spells and is happy to sit on the counter while he experiments ....... give him someone who makes him feel human ...... lsiten the poor boy needs it tbh ........ chances are he’s like 100% in love n thinks it’s the kinda love his parents had n is just !!! so heart eyes !!!! ia m W E A K

ppl that think he’s an asshole bc he’s so closed-off ( lmao they aint wrong but ) ??? n they try to get him to open up but he jsut snaps and fucks off home to go blow smth up ?? idk he’s easily provoked and will actually snap so easily if u irritate him

ppl that he shared flats with when he first moved to chicago maybe ?? he moved when he was eighteen and wasn’t exactly rollin in money so he lived in a few dingy flats & probably lived with legit so many ppl ..... yes give him all the old roommates u can imagine ( whether they got along or not ... yikes ) 

his best friends who deal w him n luv his messy ass ??? best friends who drag him out and make him have fun and 99.9% of the time he actually loves it ??? listen he’s lonely !!!!! this boy is so lonely !!!!!! give him some good friends

give him exes .., give him lots of exes n one-night-stands tht fucked up bc he has issues make it his fault i luv torturing him ???? he kinda hates commitment n here’s the bit where i project all my shit onto him bc he emotionally disconnects after like 2 weeks ?? unless he rly rly rly likes u he’ll just .... stop being emotionally involved n it frustrates ppl and i wanna write shit like that and jsut make aleks uncomfortable

tbh jsut throw shit @ me i luv plottin i luv connections gimme a cool connection n chances are i’ll never shut up abt them xoxo
