[thenukacolachallenge]

every one of my OCs that’s from my fictional island of Andromede has whitish, silvery hair, but the tone of it actually changes throughout the year, just like all natural hair does! peoples’ hair naturally gets slightly lighter in the summer bc of the extra sunlight, and slightly darker in the winter bc of the lack of sunlight. so in the summer, everyone from Andromede’s hair looks more like this, a more white color:

and in the winter, it gets darker and more silver in tone, like this:

[thenukacolachallenge]

Tanaka Industries Holiday Party! AKA “how my giant group of found family OCs celebrate the holidays together”

for anyone unaware, Tanaka Industries is a robotics and technology company owned by OC Izumi Tanaka! They have worked with both Special Forces and the Black Dragon(obviously the Special Forces don’t know about that one lmao). This, however, has almost nothing to do with the MKverse and everything to do with my self-indulgent fantasies about my found family of OCs and mostly serves as a fleshing out of characters and an insight into them as people! Plus i’ll be featuring some of my lesser-talked-about OCs, since most of them work at the compound.

Cash: is the last one to arrive to the party, as per usual(she’s only ever on time for work stuff). Shows up dressed to the nines in full western wear: a cream-colored cowboy hat, a nice and even unwrinkled(!unheard of for her) white western shirt with black accents and fringe hanging from the sleeves, a nice pair of blue jeans, and even her nice cowboy boots that she only brings out for special occasions. She shouts a stupid one liner as she enters: “Merry fuckin’ whatever, you lovely bunch of degenerates!” She gets Izzy a bottle of her favorite and very expensive soju, Stevie(the head chef of the compound and one of my favorite OCs ever) gets a bunch of nice cooking wines, and Coco gets a nice bottle of CBD-infused massage oil(she doesn’t drink often, but she is a very physically active person, so her muscles are always achey). This is also where she meets Calli, Coco’s younger sister! 

After the food is eaten and people get to drinking and partying, she does a fuckton of drunk karaoke. She does a few modern songs but it’s mostly old yeehaw music. She does a June and Johnny Cash cover duet with a very drunk Coco, and dances like a suburban dad at a bbq.

Coco: forgoes her usual oversized comfy clothes or goth/alt looks for a very pretty black dress that ends at her mid-thigh, and a pair of strappy black heels. Izzy took her to get her hair professionally done for the occasion, so her wild mass of curls is properly diffused and frizz-free, and she’s wearing a full face of admittedly subtle makeup, with the exception of a wine-red lipstick(she almost never has her lips showing bc of the mask she usually wears so she’s very excited to wear pretty lipstick!). She gets Cash a new black cowboy hat that has Native beadwork on it, Calli gets a new sketchbook, Izzy gets some new makeup palettes that Coco knows she wants!

Coco does not drink often, but she decides to say “fuck it” and let loose a little bit. She has zero alcohol tolerance so she’s about one and a half drinks in and MESSY drunk(Calli takes away her drink and asks Cremini, the bartender, to cut her off for her own safety). She and Stevie dance together(they’re both dancers so of course they do!) and she absolutely KILLS it on karaoke. She’s also drunk enough to be outwardly cuddly and happy, and starts talking to people in her native tongue(a very specific dialect of ancient Greek lmao). Calli is the only one who understands her but it makes her happy to see her big sister enjoying herself. She makes sure Coco gets to her bed safely and leaves aspirin and water on the nightstand for her.

Calli: wears a large oversized holiday sweater with simple black leggings and fur-lined booties(comfort above all things is Calli’s MO). her hair, which is usually up in a bun, is down, dusting her shoulders in wavy white strands. Her gift to everyone is a very intricate portrait of themselves, including Cash(she draws Cash’s over the course of the party, since this is their first meeting). She and Cash bond over silly stuff, and she ends up teaching her about memes, to the detriment of everyone around her.

Cash is also very surprised to see Calli drinking a lot and being able to hold her liquor, especially compared to her older sister. Calli laughs it off and explains that she inherited her dad’s high tolerance, and Coco inherited their mom’s lack thereof. She spends most of the party showing Cash memes and drawing her, but does a few karaoke songs too. She doesn’t have as impressive of a singing voice as her sister, but it still sounds quite nice. She also joins the video game group for a few rounds of super smash brothers.

Izumi: goes all-in with a full blowout, makeup professionally done, dressed up in a gorgeous and very form-fitting white bodycon dress with a long slit up to above the thigh, and a giant fur stole. Everyone gets a huge bonus as their gift, with the exception of those who don’t work there(Cash and Calli). They just get cash as a gift anyways lmao.

Being the host, she tries to go around and chat with everyone, making sure they’re having a good time. She ends up spending most of her time playing Smash off in the corner, though. She rarely ever gets to play games with how busy she is! She also does a lot of dancing.

Sai: Sai is dressed as she normally is, all tattered robes and mori kei looking. She’s from Outworld so the holiday season is still fairly new to her. She doesn’t participate in a lot of the festivities, preferring to sit and watch her recently found family enjoying themselves for once. The only gift she needs or wants is to see them happy. She finds Coco’s drunk antics particularly amusing. Her gifts to everyone is a future sight she saw of them in the new year that will bring them fortune or something good. The gift of prophecy!

OKAY NOW THAT WE GOT THE MAINS OUT OF THE WAY LETS TALK ABOUT MY LESSER KNOWN BABES

Sascha: Sascha is a dude who met the Nova sisters at the orphanage they ended up in after their parents passed, and he became sort of an older-brother figure to Calli after Coco ended up getting adopted. They are all still good friends to this day and Sascha is basically considered another member of the family by both of them, and also works as part of the secretive Specialty Team at Tanaka Industries(basically Izzy’s team of fixers who go on special missions and aren’t well-known about by the public), and co-leads it along with Coco. He’s semi-dressed up in a green plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a pair of jeans. He’s very naturally quiet and chill as shit, and he just has a few drinks and exchanges gifts, spending the rest of his time at the party playing Smash. He’s a Ness main. He wins almost every match.

Aten: stinky man! Not invited. He gets coal in his stockings because he's awful and shot Cash and broke Coco’s heart. I love him but he’s a bastard man.

AND FINALLY MY FAV MERCENARY GROUP!!!!!

The Gourmand Mercenary Group is a merc group that used to front as a fancy restaurant(and indeed, did so well as a restaurant that they were considering retiring from merc shit) before meeting Izumi. She contracted them to help her confirm complete control over her company, and when she took over, she hired them on permanently to help her run things. And indeed, they run most of the day to day business stuff that Izzy can’t handle on her own! Also, all their codenames are based off food. It's a weird concept but it’s fun.

Cremini: The de facto leader of the group! She mostly runs the bar and inventory for the compound these days. She and Sage show up in matching ugly sweaters. She only gets behind the bar at the party to make specific mixed drinks, otherwise it’s all open season and anyone can grab themselves whatever(she needs a break too!). Spends most of her time eating and dancing.

Sage: resident himbo and heavy weapons expert, as well as janitorial staff. As previously stated, he and Cremini wear matching ugly holiday sweaters(they grew up together and have a very sibling-like relationship). Also spends most of his time eating with Cremini, but also does some very terrible karaoke and a little bit of gaming. He’s also super excited to see Calli, since he has a tiny crush on her and she doesn’t live at the compound like everyone else.

Tira: Security specialist for the compound and hyper nonbiney pocket rocket. Pretty much always wears ugly sweaters anyways so is just dressed normally. Also spends most of the party with the Smash group and is the only one to even rival Sascha’s playing. Is a Kirby main and is a TERRIBLE troll player, spamming the same moves.

Mille: The company accountant and vehicle specialist for important missions, as well as transfemme excellence. Always dresses in pink lolita coords and does so at the party as well. She enjoys the food and drink but much like Sai, prefers to sit back and watch her found family of dipshits have fun and enjoy themselves. She cheers at every karaoke performance, even the awful ones.

Burrata: Stealth expert and genderfluid mute. They are dressed femme at the party in a very pretty dress. Gets sloshed and does lots of spinny dancing moves. Smiles more than most of the group have ever seen them do. Mille in particular is very close with Burrata and is very happy about this development.

Agave: Twin sister to Stevie and the medic of the group, as well as the gardener and a poison expert. Spends most of the time helping Stevie in the kitchen, but afterwards picks out her afro and does her makeup quickly and somehow looks the best with the least amount of time(she’s fucking gorgeous). Wears a pretty yellow sundress and puts flowers in her afro and looks like a beautiful ray of sunshine in the middle of winter. Dances with Stevie and Coco for most of the party, and is super amused to see Coco so drunk. 

Stevie: MY SWEET BABY BOYO. BEST BOY. Transmasc twin brother to Agave and chef of the group, basically the main reason why the restaurant front worked so well. Makes a HUGE spread of food for the party and it’s all fucking delicious. Is super proud of how everything turned out. Is also an amazing dancer, and spends most of the post-cooking part of the party doing so.

If you read all of this thank you so much and im sorry for how stupid long this was lmao

[thenukacolachallenge]

some blurbs about Coco and Zatounin, the god of vengeance that resides in her soul~

(Zatounin technically serves different purposes and roles depending on which universe Coco is in, this is specifically for MKverse and goes with the info that already exists in her character bio! (altho at the very end i’ll mention how Zatounin works in YYHverse lmao))

-his lore as a deity is that he resides in the Andromede society’s version of the Underworld, not as the operator of it(that’s a different deity), but a denizen. he was once a god of a different aspect, but he fell in love with a human woman and brought her to live with him after she returned his affections, but the trickster god of their pantheon, named Lindosen, tricked and killed her, jealous of her affection toward Zatounin, since he coveted her. after finding this out, he became the god of vengeance, and Lindosen became his sworn rival.

-the process that Coco’s people go through to draw the gods into their form is extremely taxing and painful, and takes training to do properly merge and de-merge, hence why they don’t typically allow the merging to happen before the age of 15. Coco unwittingly merging with Zatounin at the age of 11 with no preparation caused his essence as a god to become essentially “trapped” inside her soul, merging him with it, and causes her immense pain. she barely remembers the actual pain of the initial merger, as she was already close to death and floating in and out of consciousness, but she has dealt with it every day since. she hides it well, but it feels like a constant and intense burning or ripping sensation inside of her. she’s very good at hiding the pain, as it’s a constant in her life at this point, but it’s always there.

-she was floating in and out of consciousness when he came to her initially, and he had to work hard to pull her from the brink of death. he called to her, over and over in her mind, and in her mind she saw a large hand, coated in darkness, reaching out to her. he begged her to take his hand, promising his protection. she reached out, and as their hands touched, the darkness began to wrap around her hand, until it covered her entirely. that and a flash of immense pain was the last thing she remembered before she passed out completely, and Zatounin took full control of her body to protect her and kill her abusers.

-his magic appears as a sort of black and purple smoke-like energy, although it moves oddly like ink in a water suspension, almost haphazard and appearing to “bloom”, with small tendrils curling away from it. Coco can use this magic to grab people, like an extension of a hand, and she can also envelope people in it, draining their life force. the purple parts of it glow.

-Zatounin himself has his own design, though i’m still working on it(and need to get a commission at some point but FUCK IM BROKE LMAO). he is almost humanoid in appearance, but much larger, with a broad chest, a head, two arms, and two legs. however, his skin tone appears to be ink-black, with a reflective purple sheen in the light. he also has giant bat-like wings, smaller wings where his ears would be, horns that curve straight up, sharp teeth, and claws. as well, his movement is very inhuman: when not using his wings to fly, he moves in an almost animalistic way, on all fours, in a very jittery and unnatural manner. his eyes aren’t black either, like Coco’s become when she uses his magic, but instead it’s the same bright, glowing purple that exists in his magic.

-Coco can fully allow him to take over her body in emergency situations, but it’s very taxing and painful, plus it takes a while to fully recover from, so she only ever uses it as a last resort. she tends to use a form that i’ve been calling her Possessed Form for lack of a better term yet, where she partially allows him to take over. (here’s a picrew i made of it!) it’s quite an interesting transformation to watch from start to finish: first her eyes will change color, becoming fully black as though she’s wearing large sclera lenses. then, her hands will grow claws and become covered in the same blackness as they were the first time she and Zatounin merged, with wisps and blooms of blackness traveling up her arm, though not all the way. she also grows his fangs, horns, and both sets of wings(the ear wings give help her hearing exponentially as well!). in this form, she can use a lot of his powers, including increased strength and speed, extra control over how his magic moves and works, and the use of portals of darkness that she can transport herself and others through, though the range these portals have is limited to small distances.

-Coco is able to use his magic without transforming fully or partially, but this has taken much practice and effort on her part. if she doesn’t want to fight someone but she does want to intimidate them, she’ll typically stay in human form(or very partially transform ie eyes teeth and claws with nothing else changing) and threaten them with the magic.

-because of the merger, Zatounin is always with her. she talks to him a lot in her head, or occasionally out loud. if he wants to make himself known to others, he will show himself as a black wisp of smokey/inky magic with only his eyes visible otherwise. he can communicate with others without taking over Coco’s body, although that is because of a lot of practice of mastery over the ability to do so on Coco’s part.

-very rarely, if Zatounin thinks its necessary, or if his ire as a deity of vengeance has been activated, he will take over Coco’s body himself to either protect her or enact his own revenge. He tries to not do this, as he respects Coco’s autonomy as much as he can, but it does slip out. Coco’s managed to stop him exactly once during these kinds of moments.

-despite his terrifying appearance, immense power, and obsession with revenge as the deity of such, Zatounin himself is a very reasonable being. he is very protective of his human charge, helping her often with words of advice and reassurance in hard moments. many people with no understanding of the people of Andromede’s pantheon assume he’s a demon who’s possessed Coco’s body, and worked out some kind of deal with her. She usually doesn’t correct these false assumptions, unless it’s someone she knows and respects.

-Coco’s fiance-turned-sworn-enemy, Aten Vela, was given his powers by Lindosen, the trickster god who kills Zatounin’s human lover. He keeps this information from her while they are engaged, knowing Zatounin would never allow his manipulation of her if he knew the truth.

-in YYH verse, Coco is in fact a hybrid demon/human, and Zatounin is her ancestor and took over her body during a similar moment as he did in MKverse(the backstory is mostly the same with some slight changes, i’ll get into it eventually lmao). because of that, she awakened her demon energy much earlier than Yusuke did, but like Yusuke, she didn’t meet him(or any of her demon family) until the Three Kings arc. she starts the series much stronger than the main four boys, but doesn’t work with them until at least the Chapter Black arc, and by the time the Three Kings arc rolls around, they all begin to outrank her.

AND as a friendly reminder, i have a masterpost of all my OCs’ playlists here!

[thenukacolachallenge]

What makes my OCs genuinely angry(main five PLUS Bonus Sascha and Aten!):

Cash: Cash's rage is pretty dependent on the situation. Like, she'll temporarily get very mad if you make fun of her hat or her weapons(”Betty the machete is NOT a stupid name, FUCK YOU!”), but if it's just teasing or insults, after a quick outburst it'll die out pretty quickly. The only way to make her mad and KEEP her mad is to actually damage her hat or weaponry, insult her father, or to imply you'll hurt innocent people around her. That'd be a quick way to end up dead at her hands as well. Other than that, nothing really phases her! she’s a jokester by nature, and doesn’t like getting really, genuinely pissed off.

Coco: God, what DOESN'T piss her off is the better question. Cora has a huge chip on her shoulder and anything, even a quick quip, is enough to make her lash out, which depending on how much of a threat she deems you, will earn you anything from a cold glare(not a threat) to immediate thrown hands/claws(a threat). She will cause severe bodily injury if one even so much as hints at hurting her family though. Especially Calli. If you threaten sweet baby Callisto(and honestly, why would you? Do you enjoy picking on sweet innocent babies too, you fucking monster?), you'd better pray to whatever gods you believe in for a quick death, bc Coco won't grant that to you.

Calli: Almost impossible to genuinely make her mad. She's the type that gets upset and cries rather than actually being mad. It’s just not really her thing. However, if Coco or Sascha get injured around her, one will see her genuinely angry, and you'll also get to watch that power up her Goddess powers before she snaps and beats the shit out of whoever hurt them. As well, her research is super important to her. Even though she has photographic memory, she writes everything down for the benefit of those who come after her. Fuck up her research in any way, or try to use it for the purposes of evil, and it'll be like you came for her family.

Izzy: Izumi is a unique case, primarily in the sense that she abides by the phrase, “don’t get mad; get even.” She will rarely outwardly show any rage, no matter how mad someone tries to make her. She learned growing up that showing negative emotions leads to getting hurt, so no matter how one would try to anger her, all they'd get is a small, but smug, smile in response from her. She will channel the rage she feels into revenge for later. You won't see it until you're about to be killed by her, and even then it will appear more as bloodlust than anger. She's got issues. Plus, like, she has one of the world’s most powerful psychics on her pay roll; if you can genuinely surprise her enough to actually piss her off, you’ve probably earned that death lmao.

Sai: If you can find a way to make her mad, you've succeeded where I have failed. It just... doesn't happen. If Izumi is falsely in control of her emotions, Sai is fully and truly in control of hers. She's lived for far too long to actually waste time on such trivial emotions. She would rather learn the circumstances that caused the action of attempting to make her mad in the first place, then she'd probably try to psychoanalyze the person or something. She wants solutions, not emotions.

Sascha: Sascha is another case of ‘genuinely hard to actually piss off’. He kinda has a grumpy demeanor naturally, but in reality he’s a very chill and relaxed dude, who just likes to fuck around, play music, and brawl for funsies. However, much like the other Nova siblings, he will be fucking LIVID if you go after his sisters. He may not have deity powers like they do, but he did spend all of what he can remember of his childhood fighting for his life, and he is physically stronger than either of them without their powers(altho Coco is fairly close in strength with how often she trains). He’s especially protective of Calli, since she’s both the baby of the family, and physically the weakest overall. He lives to fight; don’t give him a reason to fight you.

Aten: Stinky Man is a very fun and unique case! Everything about Aten, from his looks to his outwardly gentlemanly and honorable demeanor, is a complete and total act, designed to trick people so they will be more easy to mold to whatever he wants. He is an incredibly manipulative and selfish man, and does not take kindly to those who oppose him in any way. He is obsessed with control, and the more he feels that control slipping away, the more likely he is to anger, and angry Aten is quite terrifying to behold, quite brutal and violent. When Coco finally finds out about his infidelity and his trickery of her, and she snaps and beats him to a pulp, it breaks something in him, and that mask is forever cracked. He’s always angry, at that point, and he’s at his most dangerous from that moment onward.

[thenukacolachallenge]

I Will Not Fall For You by Taproot is a very Coco x Aten song lmao

[thenukacolachallenge]

2. What do strangers notice about them first?

For all of them. 👀

ty for the ask Tobi!!!

Cash: people always notice how she looks dirty, tbh lmao. She spends a lot of time in the desert, so she's always covered in dust and grime. She also reeks of gunpowder, cigarettes, and either coffee or whiskey, depending on the time of day!

Coco: the first thing people notice about her is her hair! the lion's mane lmao~ she's got silvery-white hair, and it's incredibly curly, voluminous, and long. it makes her incredibly easy to identify, which annoys her(though most things do lmao). She's also got mean mug for days, which she can and does use on strangers to get them to leave her alone lmao.

Calli: Calli also has the same silvery-white hair color, which is still very striking, although it's much shorter than her older sister's(only shoulder-length and usually up in a bun). She's also got a very kind face, and is almost always smiling!

Izzy: it's the tids. She never puts them away. She refuses to wear a regular shirt lmao. outside of her style of dress, people usually notice that she's very "put-together", for lack of a better term. She's the type who always looks like she stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine. Makeup always done, clothes always perfectly tailored, the works. she loves to keep up appearances~

Sai: for Sai, people usually notice her weird way of dressing before anything else. she wears a lot of tattered, rag-like clothing, usually with hoods and capes. outside of that, she's got lavender colored eyes with no pupils, which is pretty noticeable lmao.

i'll also do bonus Sascha and Aten~

Sascha: people usually notice his presence long before he ever says a word. He's not talkative(unlike Coco, who merely pretends not to be talkative around strangers), and he's pretty content to chill in the background. Also, he chainsmokes, so he smells like an ashtray.

Aten: the first thing people notice about Aten is his style of dress and the way he carries himself. He wears lots of fancy fitted suits and nice, freshly pressed clothing. He also carries himself with the air of being someone important(projection lmfao). He has a surprisingly disarming demeanor for such a huge piece of shit, which is by design lmao

[thenukacolachallenge]

faceclaims for my OCs:

this is mostly for my own reference and i’ll be adding more as i find them lmao

Cash Black: girrlscout(social media influencer, business owner)

Coco: Dytto(dancer, model)

Calli: Debby Ryan(actress, singer)

Izzy: Madison Beer(singer, model)

Sascha: Zolvin(Twitch streamer)

Rea: Angelina Michelle(model)

Mille: Karley Sciortino(writer, advice columnist)

Agave: Kyemah McEntyre(artist, designer)

Stevie: Fik-Shun(dancer)

[thenukacolachallenge]

and finally, lookbook for Aten Vela the stinky bastard man!

[thenukacolachallenge]

this is the only other picrew ive ever made of Aten that i liked, but he’s babyfaced in it which is not him at all lmao

[thenukacolachallenge]

i love that Sascha chainsmokes and drinks, and looks like he’ll break your heart in 5.7 seconds, but is one of the chillest nicest dudes around

and Aten looks all refined and gentlemanly, is super polite to everyone even when he’s fucking them over, and pretends to be a morally upstanding dude, but is a hugely manipulative piece of shit

Fatal Flaws: Cash Black

so i’m using @elligatorrex‘s template for character flaws bc it’s an awesome way to flesh things out for my characters! i’m gonna do all five of my main OCS, starting with Cash! this does contain some spoilers for her story, so be aware of that!

Minor Flaws

What a Minor Flaw does:

Distinguishes the character but doesn’t have any impact on the plot.

Greedy: Cash comes across as greedy and money-obsessed quite a bit. She’s trying to pay off her own debts plus the debts her Pops left behind, to clear his name. As such, she tends to focus on the money a job can earn her moreso than the job itself, which leads to both taking unethical work, and people assuming she’s just a greedy shit.

Hedonistic: Cash loves her creature comforts. she definitely puts her need for them over the safety of others at times(more out of assuming her loved ones can take care of themselves than any real malice, but even so, it can have consequences).

Meddlesome: she loves to be in other peoples’ business. she tries to help when she can, but more often than not, she just messes things up.

Major Flaws

What a Major Flaw does:

Has more of a debilitating impact on the character physically, psychologically and morally.

Alcoholism/Addiction: Cash is a raging alcoholic, a chain smoker, and an opioid addict. bc of this, she often has to deal with withdrawal symptoms while on long trips(she refuses to drive impaired, luck powers or not). she also is terrified of anyone finding out about her opioid addiction, even though she’s currently in recovery for it. it’s so easy to fall, and she doesn’t want to. she knows people like Kano will use it against her if they know.

Aimless: Cash is unsure as to what she wants to do with her life. she wants to leave a legacy like Pops did and make him proud, but she doesn’t know how much she actually enjoys being a hired gun, but she also doesn’t really know what else she’s good at, since that’s all she’s done all her life. for that reason, she tends to just take courier work and odd jobs around where Pops used to work.

Rebellious: doesn’t like or respect most authority figures. she loves the freedom her current lifestyle provides, and she absolutely abhors being forced into situations she doesn’t want to be in. she’s killed to get out of such things, and she has no qualms about doing so again. she will absolutely pretend to like an authority figure to their face, and go around and undermine them afterward.

Notoriety: she had a brief period of time working for a very dubious mercenary group under the name Fritz. she was forced into service by them, and ended up murdering them all after being forced to harm innocent people. she no longer uses the name Fritz, but she’s well-known in hired gun circles as a vicious murderer of her cohorts under that name now.

Fatal Flaws

What a Fatal Flaw does:

The major downfall of a character.

Cash’s fatal flaw is easily her reckless behavior. it’s how she got into so many addictions and uncomfortable situations. she over-relies on her luck powers, and while they usually pull her through, they don’t always protect her from getting hurt or causing harm to others inadvertently.

-takes knowingly dangerous work. it caused her to get shot twice in the head at point-blank range. she knows that she would not have survived that incident without her luck. -do NOT take her on any kind of stealth mission ever. she doesn’t do stealth, and she will absolutely Leeroy Jenkins the shit out of the whole mission. its caused friends to get hurt before. -she doesn’t like waiting for a plan to play out, much preferring to jump straight in and shoot first, ask questions later. She tried to do this to the man who shot her, a man by the name of Aten Vela, and he ended up outmaneuvering her and seriously injuring Siren(his ex-fiance, also there to kill him with Cash).
