#Keiki Hipa

[justanaspiringsomeone]

Official Unnamed MC

Keiki is here~! @theywhodraws is the lovely artist who made this! so go check them out, they have amazing stuff!

Expressions, beware the Enraged Mother--

and Mediative State! Keiki~

[justanaspiringsomeone]

Keiki:

Works at a brothel, but not a worker. She’s more for clean up, etc. for any information she can get from the owner. Also sells produce from her garden when she can.

Rosamie:

Works at the bar as well as making sweets to sell for cash. Might also make potions and whatnot to sell too.

Monet:

Hunters work mostly. But she is slowly gaining an audience for her storytelling, typically kids but some adults come in to listen. Nice way to relax.

Sooo

Since the touchstarved MC probably is trying to make money at some point, what do yall think what kind of job would they get?

[justanaspiringsomeone]

“Don’t cry! Here, take my necklace. This way, whenever you’re scared or upset… I’m always with you!”

“Lea… thank you.”

“Relax Ki, we’re sisters. Us against the world!”

[justanaspiringsomeone]

For "oc asks that reveal more than you think".

#2, 5, 7, 9, and 23-27 for Rosamie, Monet and Keiki? 😍

ohohohohoo i see

Rosamie:

2. Can take care of all three, but the plant and pet are more her speed, the child isn’t harmed or anything, it's just preference.

5. She will not give one on her own, but if things are dire and no one else can, she will. The speech is… fairly dour, but realistic, to the situation at hand. But has a hopeful undertone to it because of it? Like everything will be ok as long as everyone is doing their part.

7. Quiet, pragmatic, and tired. Rosamie describes herself as the same, ngl.

9. Not really. She’s never really thought about it too much. Plus, even humans can be rather inhuman at some point.

23. Stability. Too many new experiences that were bad to want more.

24. Honesty. Charity means she’ll have to either pay it back or be seen differently.

25. Possibility. Safety will eventually leave if you don’t get to see other avenues.

26. Effort. As most things require it, talent won't be enough.

27. Forgiveness. If only because she’s too tired for the price of vengeance and just wants to move on.

Keiki:

2. Can take care of all three! The plant is 50/50 to Keiki’s mood though, all are well taken care of though~

5. Also not a speech person, but can try? It’s more of a speech to calm someone down than anything else, depending on how close she is to that person at least.

7. Dedicated, passive, hypercritical // Kind, passive, selfish.

9. Yes. It's part of her culture and something she shared with her sister to be empathetic to all beings, whether or not they’re sentient or not. She was better at it than her sister, at least when it came to upkeep.

23. Stability. Just so you have a place to call home in case it all falls through.

24. Honesty. She’s been in a charity case before… it's not all it’s cracked up to be. She’d rather be aware than kept in the dark.

25. Possibility. It’s exciting to look for more things beyond what you know.

26. Effort. If everyone was talented no one would try for more.

27. Forgiveness. Vengeance feels good for a fleeting moment and then you see the aftermath for that vengeance.

Monet:

2. The kid is… precariously taken care of, but the other two are accounted for!

5. Oh, def giving a speech. She’s in her element to sway the people to her needs or wants, for a bit at least. It’s probably to garner sympathy or to distract the authorities with a REGALING tale of something that happened.

7. Dramatic, childish, resourceful. Monet thinks of herself as theatrical, imaginative and charming.

9. 100% she always was around stories and loved and felt for each character so much, plants she also likes, especially the ones others dont like. Dolls are a 60/40 thing, she didn’t have a lot because she’d want books instead and would be in very, very graphic roleplay with any dolls she did have.

23. Novelty. Nothing is stable or forever, so why regret it?

24. Honesty. Charity caused her to lose her brother.

25. Possibility. Fortune favors the bold after all~!

26. Effort. To call anything talent is to write off the hard work one puts into the craft itself.

27. Vengeance. And then she immediately regrets it.

[justanaspiringsomeone]

(For the character ask !! ) Keiki’s favorite Touchstarved Li? (Also I love her so much so I offer this bouquet as a token of my appreciation 💐)

In all seriouness Anon! Here's Keiki's thoughts on the LIs so far!

Relationships w/ Cast

Kuras

Keiki likes

“He’s like a warm, comforting sun for the downtrodden.”

Aside from being the first genuinely good person she has met, Keiki feels drawn to Kuras in ways she doesn’t understand, but hopes to with time.

Kuras likes

Kuras finds Keiki’s natural charm to calm others and beckons them over interesting. Sometimes she helps in the clinic because of this whenever he has child patients.

Leander

Keiki dislikes/likes

“I never met a mage like him, while he’s flirtier than I anticipated… I don’t dislike it. I think.”

Leander so far provides Keiki with many things that she is thankful for. However, there’s something to him that rubs her wrong and she’s hoping it’s not experience preventing her from seeing his kindness.

Leander likes

Finds Keiki adorable, both to fluster and to talk to. He often tells her tales that she enjoys hearing. tries to ease any reservations and worries she has about him and Eridia as a whole.

Vere

Keiki dislikes

“so frivolous and uncaring almost to his detriment… and yet, it’s something to behold.”

Vere is everything Keiki hates. His smooth words and backhanded remarks serve as a reminder of the life she left behind yet finds herself unable to completely find all traits of him unappealing.

Vere dislikes

Vere dislikes the motherly and seemingly naive nature Keiki has, he likes it more when she lets her more negative emotions loose. Knows that there's something protecting her as well, much to his ire.

Ais

Keiki dislikes/likes

“He’s definitely not good for my heart, yet I want to see him all the same.”

Keiki isn't sure how to gauge Ais. On one hand, he’s irritatingly smug and often causes problems when there shouldn’t be. And on the other, his calm and confident demeanor gives Keiki a strange respite from her own worries. He makes her feel things she hasn’t felt before. And that scares her.

Ais likes/dislikes

Ais finds her lack of backbone annoying but her enthusiasm and surprising morbidness is interesting to him, what more could she have to find for him?

Mhin

Keiki likes

“They seem in need of guidance and a safe place…”

Keiki feels some form of attachment to Mhin, reminding her of the children within the temple she lived with most of her life. Dotes on them as a form of repentance to which they don’t recuperate or understand.

Mhin likes/dislikes

Mhin feels like a child when Keiki dotes on them, but she continues despite their biting comments and snarls. Still, she brings a gentleness that they aren’t familiar with but can’t find it within them to be completely closed off to.

Cuts:

[justanaspiringsomeone]

Keiki Hipa:

Ais: so many ways for it to go: bad timing, flaws getting the better of them, etc.

Leander: gave him too much benefit of the doubt and is trapped for him to do as he pleases with her.

Senobium: didn’t have many options outside of mindless drone or codependent sketchy mage, definitely not her finest…

???: she has not collected enough to keep it at bay, must be released or else she will be decreased

Rosamie:

Leander: either by not trusting him enough or letting it slip how much she’s absolutely terrified of him to leave

Senobium: captured her after seeing her abilities as well as other things in action. Used as a science experiment

Her teacher: Rosamie always ends up coming back to places she doesn’t like, be it in person or dreams

Monet A. Claude

Kuras: sketchy Angel is sketchy but leagues above Monet in power, even if she has a point to call him out…. If he’s not in the mood 😬

Herself: her impulse control is nonexistent she’s gon do something stupid deep-seated insecurities also don’t help

Soulless: she’s fairly reckless to the point of wanting to ride these things for kicks

Vere: he likes her company but not that much

Leander: doesn’t trust him as far air can throw him and tried fighting back but her word against his has her overwhelmed instantly

…I have a silly idea. A question for your Touchstarved OCs! How many times in the demo would they have met an untimely end? How do you predict them dying in the future?

So, not necessarily predicting how the MC will die in the routes, just wondering what doom looks like for your OC in particular.

I’ll start:

Luneth the Unnamed

She does pretty well in the demo, actually, the only time she might have died is by Leander after he grabs her cursed hand, but he’s “perfectly fine” so everything’s a-okay. Right?

The Senobium, probably. Trusts institutions over individuals. Would submit herself to experimentation for the greater good.

Vere. If their enmity grows, it could end in bloodshed and since she isn’t a fighter, her odds don’t look good.

There’s not a lot here, I expect her to be the MC who actually survives. Let’s go final girl!

Jin the Alchemist

Soulless. Boy spends his days studying and conducting alchemical experiments, he does not exercise enough to outrun a Soulless creature before Mhin gets there.

Leander. He trusts him so much.

Ais. If Ocudeus makes him lose control, Jin isn’t going to win a fight against him, and I don’t think he’ll be able to outrun him, either..

The Senobium. He too would submit himself to experimentation for the greater good. Compared to Luneth who’d be like, “This is my purpose. This is how I contribute to the world,” though, he’d probably view it more as a deserving punishment for being a monster. He has to be restrained somehow because he is made to hurt, and there is no redemption for that.

Mentor. I can see a path where he leaves Eridia and returns to her. He already has doubts about his decision to flee. Would let her take his life to keep others safe.

Seaspring. Would drink from it after losing all hope for another cure.

Alon the Hound Oh boy...

Vere. “Call me a dog again, and I’ll make you bleed.” “You got it, bitch! :D”

Vere. Booped the snoot of his monster form.

Vere. After trying to prank him with static electricity — look, it was Ais’s fault for giving them the idea of Vere’s tail frizzing up. Can you just picture Vere with a hand on that static electricity ball in the science centres? POOFY VERE XD

Vere. After drawing a portrait of Vere for his Senobium employee of the month picture (he is not employee of the month). They’re not really an artist. It looks like she’s insulting him. It amused Kuras before they died, though, so. Worth it.

Vere. Tried to serenade him. *strums lute badly* “I love you, bitch.”

Vere. Said directly to his face, “Sometimes I wonder how I taste haha.”

Vere. After trying to pick his pockets.

Vere. Surrendered.

Ocudeus. Tried fighting it.

Ocudeus. Tried flirting with it.

Ocudeus. Tried eating it.

Ocudeus. Tried flirting with it again.

Ocudeus. Tried to pick its pockets. And no, the eldritch kraken does not have any pockets, you dumbass—

Ais. “Trust me bro, I got this.” After asking him to help them with the famous magic trick that involves catching a deadly projectile in her mouth. I don’t know, I just feel like they'd enable each other with dumb shit.

Leander. Drank his poisoned punch on a dare. See the above.

Kuras. When judgement comes for their soul, I feel like she’d annoy the gods into smiting them.

Kuras. Ate his cooking. They’re the kind of person to eat rice raw and try to cook it by drinking boiling water. How much more dangerous could the doctor’s cooking be—

Senobium. They’d have a contentious relationship with the Senobium in every route, so the academy would take no issue with killing the thief. Probably via Vere.

Senobium. There is at least one universe in the demo where they made the split second decision to swipe that Senobium cleric’s keys and attempt to break Vere out. Spontaneous jail break wooooooo! They’d fail horribly, of course, but I know that there’s at least one alternate universe where she would do that.

Seaspring. Gave into their impulses and cannonballed into the Seaspring. Though who else lowkey wants to swim in the forbidden soup?

Mhin. Would sooner choose to die than kill their friend. So if Mhin loses control and running’s not an option…Damn, there’s so much they wanted to do with them. They wanted to make them laugh more. They wanted them to teach her about alchemy because it seems to make them happy. They still haven’t told them the secret to that one magic trick they could never pick apart and she knows how that’s been driving them crazy, even though they pretend they don’t care, even though they always care more than they let others know, it’s one of the reasons she—She never got to tell them. Ah, well. They’ll figure it out without her. She knows they will.

Please feel free to reblog with your OCs' death count/causes of death predictions!

Keiki’s flowers Pt. 1

Because I know y’all get confused on what the colors mean so here’s a reference sheet for one of them!

Bonus:

[justanaspiringsomeone]

Some seductive looking Keikis for the soul

Fun fact she doesn’t ever make such an expression usually, so you’d have to get her really comfortable for this sort of thing

Some separate cuts UWU

[justanaspiringsomeone]

🐑 or 🐺

[justanaspiringsomeone]

I’m bored…

So a question for my Touchstarved MCs~

How do your touchstarved MCs view the light? Like… how would they respond to this question?

what does the light mean to you?

Monet

The light for her means… safety. Warmth. Being seen, not harshly exposed, but just… gently seen and still worth being cared for warmly. She knows most people hide, shun or even have disdain for it because it’s typically the opposite, especially as a thief. But Monet can’t help but find comfort in it, knowing the light gives a certain warmth and serenity to a person…

Keiki

The light for Keiki means rebirth. Not necessarily a new life in a physical sense but to a way of living. Something new. And hopefully, something brighter.

Rosamie

For Rosamie, the light means danger. Always did. Be it the sun, the artificial spotlight or holding the gaze of people watching her every move. There's also a heat to it that she can't explain, as if she's being burned when focused on but... that's something she could never explain the feeling of.

[justanaspiringsomeone]

Loving Lingerie

Because I’ve been wanting to draw these gals in lingerie for the longesttttt

“I’m not used to wearing such clothes… does it look odd on me?”

“You know, I thought I’d be embarrassed by such clothes but… I think it suits me, doesn’t it?”

“Heyyy, wanna read something? You can lay on my lap while I read to you~”

[justanaspiringsomeone]

Topic of flowers Ft. @theywhodraws touchstarved mc, Luo!

[justanaspiringsomeone]

Keiki:

“So many lives lost unnecessarily… all because you couldn’t assert yourself, first strangers, then your only family, then people who had nothing to do with you… I can help you ease the guilt away.”

Rosamie:

"You must be so tired... Of the lies, staying on top of things constantly, of doing everything to keep yourself safe.... I can let you rest. A good long rest."

Monet:

“Everyone who comes to you leaves, for whatever reason... I'll make it so you won't ever feel that pain again."

Question because I’ve seen so many unique OCs (both MC and non-MC):

If Vere read your OC’s (MC or not) soul, what would he see (if it’s different from in-game MC)?

[justanaspiringsomeone]

To my Touchstarved MCs

Have you imagined what your MC would be like if they didn’t have the backstory you gave them?

Like if your alchemist MC was the Hound instead?

Or your oracle MC was the Alchemist?

And so on and so forth

I’ll start with mine:

Rosamie, Alchemist—> Hound:

As the Hound, Rosamie is far less quiet and uptight. She's witty, suave and possibly self destructive.

Not exactly helpful unless there's money involved, she's quick to action and doing it in style~

gives good advice but never really listens to her own, especially when dealing with deeper, darker emotions by herself due to her syndicate not being big on those.

kind of a emotional wreck as well--

Rosamie, Alchemist—> Unnamed:

As the Unnamed, Rosamie is more energetic and helpful, clearly compensating for the lies and pain caused by the temple and by her.

her hair is longer and her association isn't to Spiders but Dragonflies.

She's also more openly well... most think she's crazy and unhinged due to her speaking to spirits and animals more than people. As well as speaking to dangerous people without care...

Monet, Hound—Alchemist:

As the Alchemist, Monet's more reserved and cautious about herself and her interests. Hiding her features behind a mask rather than putting them all on display for the world to see.

her hair is shorter too due to having more of an affinity for fire so less hazard. Though her magic is unstable and she can't focus well, especially when pressured.

her scar is also placed elsewhere, so it's no longer on her cheek.

Monet, Hound—> Unnamed:

As the Unnamed, Monet holds the title of 'The Accursed Child' and is often held away from the cultist. Only really being 'let out' for punishments, rituals, etc. before being sent away again. Scar is also placed elsewhere.

she has very big Disney princess energy because she was often smuggled books to read by her attendants. So innocent in terms of normal socializing but rather curious about darker aspects.

has most monster like features, tufted ears and a golden tail with bloodlust that only comes out when dishing out punishments.

Keiki, Unnamed—>Alchemist:

sadistic mommy

the darkest version of Keiki. cordial with thinly veiled sadism and bloodlust, she resides in the former home, overgrown and filled with deadly flowers of her own making. The flowers she makes often feed on victims who wronged her in the past and she has little patience for human men.

Keiki, Unnamed—> Hound:

strong mommy

More connected to her homeland, since she never left home. Very stubborn and an experienced fighter, wears a mask due to not liking how kind her eyes are but also to hide her flowers.

She has a giant white wolf that came with her on her journey to Eridia, a trusted ally and friend that she loves with all her heart.

[justanaspiringsomeone]

My touchstarved MCs! From top to bottom it’s:

The Unnamed Oracle, Keiki

The Hound, Monet

The Alchemist Mage, Rosamie

[justanaspiringsomeone]

For all the ocs, what do y’all like to do in your free time?

Keiki: I do not have many hobbies unfortunately… but I do love dancing, so I’m glad I never lost that. Gardening as also become a pastime of mine.

Rosamie: hobbies, hm? Well… I have a few I still do nowadays. Since coming to the Wick, mixology has slowly come back to me, helps when I man the bar for the owner.

Writing is one as well, but mostly for recipes, ingredients and other lists of that nature, finding the ingredients is another issue though…

Sewing is quite calmly. Whether fabric or human skin, there’s something nice of seeing it all come together.

My favorite hobby has to be candy making, I have fond memories having them from shops and making them when I had time. It’s nice…

Monet: why anon! I thought you’d never ask! I have so many things I like to do! Writing, reading, singing, performing, makeup, Berry picking—

Ooooh! I want to do them all now! Hehehe!
