「 2016 」

During my summer vacation (…after excruciating exams) I got into creating and designing my own set of characters. It has always been something I had fun with but this was the first time I genuinely wrote a story and personality for each one of them!

This “universe” is based on science-fiction (I love that genre) and in a few words, I’ll try to explain the story behind it:

The Company is a multi-planetary business that controls most monetary exchanges between worlds (aka, a huge monopoly - an example would be, Buy n Large from the movie “Wall-e”)

My OCs belong to the company (apart from one character) and despite working in different departments, mostly all of them live in the same ship. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Let’s meet them:

Meet Lizz(ard) - 23 y.o. low-rank soldier. She was born with albinism. (quite common in her species)

Meet Fox - a 35 y.o. high-ranked executive, right-hand advisor. (My followers, back in 2016, were the ones that decided on the presence of a beard)

Meet Kolibri - a young prodigy pilot! She’s only 25 years old but already recognized as one of the best in the force.

Her species possesses this particular characteristic: folium vetero, which roughly translates to “aging with the leafs” - the meaning? the older you are, the more leafs you grow. This process usually starts around your face during teenage years.

Meet Leo - she’s 22 and a medium rank mechanic (number 1809). She has lost her left leg and right hand - forcing her to become ambidextrous. Furthermore, she was born with a cleft lip. (always wears googles for an unknown reason) 👀

Meet Sparrow - another fellow mechanic, just like Leo! However, he recently surpassed her and reached a high rank position at only 21 years of age (which not many have accomplished)

(I’ve realized I don’t have any drawings of Sparrow alone….)

I've also wrote a small story for the second photo:

December 13th, 2577, Sparrow has fallen under serious accusations of conspiracy against our own party, falsely incrimanated by a head-master, a top general if you insist. Now, we both encounter ourselves behind bars facing serious criminal charges, due to the help I gave him to escape... but we stand with a evil grin that swears justice. "Great plan!" Sparrow whispered. "Of course. Anytime..." I replied. The general took a step back in delusion and his composure loses to cold sweats. Previously, the evidences he presented in court were reason of suspense: "He stole the missing documents!! I caught him red-handed!" How did he know? How did he know Sparrow was there? And why would the general be, at the same exact time, in a old long meaningless corridor in the middle of the archives' room? Sparrow confessed me so much!... but so little at the same time. The general has a resentment against him for a curse in the past and I see secrecy in his eyes. He didn't tell me, I didn't ask. After many trials, the general persisted. He is a foolish man. Flawed predicaments fall to those who lie and cheat. Moved by resentment and impatience, he acused Sparrow for one last try and karma does it justice: there are no fingerprints in the missing papers... muddy fingerprints. When the "so-called" accused was "caught" he was searching in a dark closet for old, used pieces that we could use in our projects. Drops of dried, black oil were decorating the walls of that same closet. As the general testified, he witnessed the robbery first-handed. When he dragged Sparrow out of the archives, the guards who arrested him confirmed he wore no gloves! Plus, how is it possible for the general to be there? No-one, and I absolutely swear no-one, travels with desire through the phantom archives' room nr 51 - it is filthy, fraught with bugs and rumors about corpses. There is the strong possibily of a plan pursuit by the general... which automaticaly translates to conspiracy. We must be hopeful for the next trial and still, Sparrow, my dear, dear friend, lives under fear. Nothing, I know. He solely desires to protect me...

⬆️ This is a small comic portraying of how Leo and Sparrow met. For a bit of context, Sparrow has an engineering hobby where he enjoys to create his own gadgets. In order to peacefully work on his projects, he has found this small, semi-hidden room/basement locked away in the confinements of the ship - It’s pretty run down and slightly moldy so no one really contests it.

Before they’ve met, Leo would pass by this area after the end of her shift - that’s when she sees this figure slouching over a white board, doodling some numbers. (There’s no door) At first, she doesn’t pay much attention BUT as weeks pass by, Leo’s curiosity grows bigger and she starts to observe him from a distance (the girl is quite shy to start a conversation). Her intention? Just to know what the hell he’s working on!

One day, she gets too bold and takes a further step into the room which… proves to be her “doom”. You see, Sparrow has noticed someone “spying” on him, so he placed his glasses at the entrance to prove his point. Success! She stepped on them! Quite a stupid idea in all honesty, but at least his miopia isn’t strong - he can afford to be without his glasses for a couple of days (he can always claim to the company as a work-related incident to get a new pair for free)

Leo apologizes and assures her reasons were pure curiosity. They became friends quite quickly. Despite his mean demeanor, he likes Leo (more than *likes* further on…) and she starts helping him in his projects!

this is one of their misadventures: Bear with me�� 😂 this was a stupid comic idea that I had for my OCs at the time… I never ended up doing anything out of it, however, I’m soooo glad I kept it! It’s so idiotic!! (My girlfriend loves it!!) Enjoy! 🤣

Meet Kat - a 26 y.o. spy. (anything else regarding her is a well-kept secret)

- Meet Pam(ther) - she’s a 27 y.o. who has recently joined the soldier ranks. People recognize her kindness and generosity… (and take advantage of her equally gullible personality)

She also possesses a “special power” that gives her the ability to see into the future - however, her visions are often enigmatic and last mere seconds.

She’s best friends with Lizz!!

- Meet Wolf - a shady (and lazy) executive - a 25 y.o. nepo baby.

Meet Bee - 18 y.o. high rank mechanic.

Remember Sparrow? She’s his little sister!

They both entered the ranks of the company at the same time, 4 years ago. She was allowed to became an employee so early (normally the casting is 16+) because she’s a genius! - furthermore, she was able to became a high rank mechanic quicker than Sparrow due to her high intelligence (not to undermine her brother, Sparrow is also incredibly smart, not many are able to enter at such young age)

… to finalize, I have one more character to introduce:

Meet Andaluziite - a being made out of crystal. They are long life species and they can’t exactly be killed… merely shattered. One can easily recognize these beings due to the clusters of crystals that protrude from their skin.

They are seen as an enemy, seen as the invaders. However, this is a farce written by “The Company” to obtain sympathy and raise power to conquer their planet.

(I’ll admit it, it’s heavily inspired by Steven Universe and a lot of other sci-fis - like Avatar)

(thank you so much for reaching the end! More will posted soon!)
