#OC: Lunarius

[anarkhebringer]

I'm getting DnD-brained slowly but surely thanks to BG3 and I'm making AUs for all my OCs. Currently turning my demon OCs into tieflings instead, making Cervus and Lunarius avatars of Tyr and Selune, and Reaper a Bhaalspawn.

It’s this lovely lunar lad’s birthday today, so I had to draw him something special.

For that OC thing, I have so many OCs of mine that are my favorites so I'll just pull one out of my hat, but I think my OC Cervus is a good choice. He's just this chaotic entity of a man that's trying to undo a bunch of harm his parents caused while they ruled over his lands, not to mention he's my current favorite OC to use to play around with the light = purity/dark = evil tropes and how light can be a corrupting force, since he and his boyfriend Lunarius have the sun/moon dynamic. In terms of my favorite for other people's OCs, I wouldn't be able to choose honestly I love them all so much jishdugfokh

ohh that sounds really cool!! sun/moon dynamic is always fun. and i also like the theme of undoing harm from his parents. thanks for sharing!

You've been visited by the random OC question fairy! :D ~☆

Is trust something that comes easily for your character? What’s required to break their trust? Has there been a time when their trust was broken? What were the repercussions of this event?

Lunarius does actually trust easily, though of course that’s within reason considering he has lots of enemies as the king of a world power where he lives. The easiest way to break his trust, even if you mean no harm long-term, is to behave negatively towards his loved ones in certain ways. A way an ally broke his trust was because of actively berating Cervus during a meeting for his means of ruling and his plans on handling issues in his own country, and even if Lunarius still worked with this ally, he never really trusted them the same way afterwards. He severely limited their input on Celestian-Uvarian affairs ever since.

If you wanna doodle something....how about Cervus and Venus 👀 love you lots friend!

Venus gets her temper from her dad for sure.

[anarkhebringer]

I was inspired, what can I say.

[anarkhebringer]

I know it’s likely a way to ensure that the toddlers are visible, but I can’t help but love the fact that Cervus and Venus are front and center with the family portraits since Cervus is the patriarch here and runs the family unit.

A little collection of those meme template things I’ve done with my OCs (and some friends’ OCs too), and hopefully will have more added to the collection soon isudhiy

[codys-character-collection]

Got another random OC doodle set here, with two SHII doodles and teen Lunarius being his sweet and sparkly self

[codys-character-collection]

Cervus: I am embarrassed to admit to the council (you) that at this very moment I’d very much like to be dicked down by Xeius.

Cervus: You may break up with me now.

Lunarius: Why? I just want an explanation.

Cervus: I feel like he’d give his best.

Headcanons about Cervus and Lunarius then? Reminder that I Love And Care You Friend

I Love And Care You Too, Floops

Let’s see, headcanons about the sun and moon kings...

I guess I’ll start with Cervus since he’s always on my mind LOL

- He’s multilingual, and also studies languages and cultures in his free time. He knows more human languages than demon languages, oddly enough. You can thank him for the knowledge of humans and their cultures in Hell expanding so rapidly nowadays.

- He’s an absolute history buff, and LOVES it. He gives a shitload of information at once, but he still manages to keep you hooked in. He also likes to try and paint pictures of what he’s saying by trying to think up hypothetical story examples. Even if you forget a lot of what he tells you do to so much information, he doesn’t mind, because this is a topic he genuinely enjoys all around the board, so he doesn’t mind telling you again.

- He’s not like most kings, and does a lot of his work himself. He enforces breaks for his servants when there’s no rush, and Hell, he even asks the servants if they need any help with difficult tasks and actually joins them to help them out when he can. He asks his servants for things, doesn’t order them. He’ll tell them “please” and “thank you” for their work. Growing up how he did, mostly staying outside and in the streets to avoid his parents, he got to see the cruelties of it all and how the less fortunate are taken advantage of, so he swears to make his servants feel valued and offer them proper compensation for their work. He’s sworn to treat them like the living, breathing beings that they are. Treat them with kindness and value their work. He pays them by the time they work, not the tasks they complete, so it’s all fair in the end in his mind.

- His nobles that live in the palace with him are very clearly split on their opinions of him. The younger and/or more carefree absolutely adore him, and love the new breath of fresh air he is for the kingdom, and the hope he brings for improvement in peace among everyone. The older and/or more serious and traditional, however, utterly despise him for how carefree and out-of-the-box he is. The only reason they don’t try to get him overthrown or assassinated is due to the obvious positive progress towards higher quality of life and peaceful relations. That much they can respect, even if they refuse to show it.

- He may be all about civility and peace, but he won’t hesitate to escalate things in a nanosecond if he feels the need to. He knows that being civil when you need to just fight will only end even worse than if you fight and fail, so he’ll have no problems ending any fights that may arise. With Uvaria being known as the industrial and military power of Eastern Hell, enemy territories are scared to make the wrong move with him and risk him just destroying everything they ever knew to start over completely. Though luckily for them, Cervus is the stern and blunt type that observes situations carefully, so if the aggressor backs down and decides to finish things peacefully, Cervus won’t hesitate to do the same. He leaves the next move up to the aggressor most of the time, and says as such.

- His frame of mind in general? “I keep all of my emotions right here, and then I die.” He’s Not about revealing how he feels to people. Though the palace always has a psychiatrist on duty, so if he feels the sudden need to just ramble his struggles out, he can go to them. Though he barely ever does, and reserves that for his staff since he orders a few of them to make use of this free medical service when they need it. He’s a lot more empty and bitter inside than he lets on.

I’ll hop onto Lunarius now since Cervus’ part is super long jasihduh

- Himbo. Lunarius is a himbo. Not a complete himbo, though, but sometimes he’s VERY close. Cervus has had fun with that before when joking with him.

- Mentally he’s got two main modes: “I’m so happy that I could just EXPLODE! So I will just gush about it at you and maybe also cry instead.” and “Hey everyone, I’m Really Sad.”

- He’s scared of bees, but it’s the kind that has him defending and protecting them unless one approaches him, then he’s running for the hills. He’s also afraid of ghosts and zombies, though those fears have a much more sad and trauma-filled reason and reaction to them.

- He can sing really well, and likes to sing with Cervus sometimes, since Cervus likes to sing and does so very well, too. A way that almost always works to calm him when he’s mentally unstable and falling deeper into it is to hug Cervus and listen to him softly sing. Sometimes, he even hears Cervus singing to him in his dreams on those nights that he’s calmed by it, and he wakes up either at ease, or feeling void due to the negative things being gone. Either way, he’s thankful.

- He has a fondness for griffins, due to a special kind living in the snowy mountains of Celestae that are a pure white color, and their fur and feathers almost sparkle under the moonlight, when they’re most active. They tend to only come around the capital in the evenings and at night in the colder months, and Lunarius has easily befriended all that approach him throughout his life. Because of this, it makes him even more proud to brandish Celestae heraldry, due to it having a griffin as the main representative animal. Though the griffin on Celestian heraldry is special, as it also has the horn of a unicorn alongside the pure white color of the arctic griffins of the mountains. A unicorn and pegasus can also be seen on Celestian heraldry behind the horned griffin as the other representative animals. This specific horned griffin is fabled to be reborn when the next rebirth of the beloved moon deity in Celestae legends is, and since Lunarius is said deity rebirth, he eagerly awaits this griffin’s rebirth with the rest of his kingdom to befriend it, and eventually ride it into battle just as the legends spoke of.

- It’s not uncommon for Lunarius to sneak out to the stables at night and keep the horses, equosa (the sturdier horse-like creatures to replace horses in some situations), pegasi, wyverns, griffins, and various other mounts company for a bit. He genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, and finds peace and comfort in their company. He also tends to dress himself to take care of them as well, and clean up a bit for them again while he’s out there. He enjoys working on his own for once like this, and he likes further ensuring that the animals have a clean and well-kept area. At the end of it all, before he goes back inside for bed, he may end up taking one of his own mounts out for a ride to further clear his head. He has one of every mount available reserved specifically for his own use, so he tries to make sure and let all of his mounts have a turn when he comes out at night, and alternates between them all so no specific mount is chosen more than the rest every time he’s out there.

Okay, I’ll go ahead and stop here, since this is Very Long. Thank you for suggesting these headcanons, Floops! And I’m happy to go into OC headcanons anytime!

I edited the video and added a bit more to it, so here’s the current version of the “OCs as” compilation

[codys-character-collection]

Cervus: When I look in any reflective surface I fear what I might see in there. That is a world not made for our kind. Then I remember about video games and forget the fear.

Lunarius: OK, I love you, but please, its too early to be thinking like this...

Cervus: Too early? You think the mirror-men sleep??

SHII: We don’t.

Cervus: See?????????

[anarkhebringer]

So... I have doodles of OCs from a whole universe thing I thought up...featuring a doodle including @floople-doople‘s OC, Deus.

I could ramble about all of these OCs for days, so if anyone wants to know about them I’ll gladly do so.
