I rlly like exploring Codi and Sammy's dynamic bc Codi doesn't really like them, she's afraid of people who have more dominating presence & she doesnt like physical affection, pretty touch averse, meanwhile Sammy's incredibly large, both in height and weight, and is incredibly affectionate, especially physically. All this to say, Sammy also adores Codi, they're infatuated and would do anything to get her to warm up to them. The thing is, in the end, she does care for them, she's the one who free them for Rea to find, she knows tons of shit about 'haulers and helps with their delicate health all the time bc she cares so much about them. She's just afraid that if she shows it, it'll be taken advantage of, so theres a pretty endless cycle of Sammy trying so hard to get her to tolerate them while she does tolerate them, she appreciates and loves them.

In the end they do actually spend a lot of time with each other, though somewhat anxiously in their own ways. Sammy's always super eager to do anything with her, they always listen to what she has to say about entomology and history, they love to play ddr with her, spar with and spot for her, basically always trying to be closer. She returns the favors of course, but that doesnt stop the fact that she finds them imposing and does tend to avoid them at times still.

It doesn't help that Sammy gets incredibly jealous even tho they dont admit it, and Codi loves hanging out with Reagan. Reagan's very small, tired and has a different form of charisma than Sammy. Codi hangs out with Sammy, but she actually spends time and plays with Reagan, and despite her touch aversion, she lets Reagan cuddle up on her all the time. She and Rea have common grounds and mutually care for each other in a sibling way.

Sammy and Codi are similar in having a life stolen from them in their own ways and feeling ostracized and socially stunted. They both crave a connection with each other, but circumstance makes it difficult.

tell me about the most evil oc you have other than the babies

Hmm probably the villains for my main story, Soulset Assunder, who are contributors to the interplanetary slave trade among other many human rights violations.

Adler is most heavily intwined with the trade, being that he's the head of one of the largest branches. He also has no qualms with any methods, as he arranges for abductions as well as trading stock & also works with Maxwell, helping him with his shipments. Adler is the reason for the loss of Oren's biological children, as they were abducted by him and his men, as well as abducting Rea's biological mother and brother. Eventually, after Oren and Rea both save their respective families and Rea is reestablishing his relationship to his own, Adler and Rudy has the two killed as a warning that, since neither of them can defeat the team, they'll instead just begin targeting the people they love unless they disband and quit interfering, causing Reagan to run away just as he's about an adult.

Between a few fights between Adler and Oren, Adler is heavily wounded & requires multiple body prosthetics, particularly the loss of half his face after Oren shoved it into the rotor of the engine to a large spaceship, and some of his limbs after being caught under rubble. After surviving these, he is then forced to escape into a low oxygen environment where his brain is suffocated and damaged. He ends up being found and brought to an illegal fight ring on a moon, though I havent decided if it's earth moon or not. His prosthetics are made to be more brutal and Adler, in his confused state, is made into their new champion. I don't know if at this point Oren would also have his prosthetic or not (his shin got crushed under a blast door, but its removed above the knee due to circumstance), and I'm unsure if Oren himself has the final battle with him at all, but its a parallel I enjoy. Regardless, they kill Adler in the fight ring, though its partially to put him out of his misery, as in his state he's only aggressive out of fear and confusion and doesn't remember his prior life as a slave owner and trader.

Maxwell is a scientist and deals in illegal genetic engineerings. He's very unfeeling and apathetic, and uses his experiments as a means of entertainment, pushing whatever piece of biology and physiologu he can. He funds himself through the slave trade, working with Adler among others. His export is a sub-human race of superhumans called 'overhaulers', which are physiologically NOT human so that they don't count as human right violations in a case where they are discovered. On top of this, 'haulers are all made to mature and die fast as a form of planned obsolescence. A 'hauler is huge, strong & analytical, making them fast learners. Their bodies also don't register feelings of exhaust & have high pain tolerance, making them all hyper-insomniacs & damaging them from unrecognized over-exertion. On top of this they all have slow metabolisms so as to need to feed them less. Easy to say, shit's fucked for them. Anyways, Sammy is a 'hauler who was rescued without knowledge of the whole situation, save for Codi. A piece of Codi's backstory, which she tries to keep secret as long as she can, is that she formerly worked for Maxwell, but then ran away when she learned the truth of her job & was placed in mortal danger by Maxwell and his men. I digress, Sammy and Codi are both also unfeeling and apathetic, as well as both sharing interest in their respective sciences, they both share in his albeit accidental defeat.

Rudy works in spiritual tech, funding herself through weaponry and pseudo assassinations, though her main goal is to find a vessel to mend all humanity into one entity, essentially a router for a hivemind. Rudy's weaponry deals with weaponized ghosts, honing those with high trauma and projecting them into others, either making them dangerous to themself or others, or breaking someone or their team enough to make them a non-issue. Regardless, this makes it the afflicted's fault for anything wrong to happen and the consequential legalities cannot be blame on her or who she works for. She finds this potential in Reagan as he's able to succesfully serve vessel to foreign souls. She makes it her prerogative to meddle with him and in his life to get results she wants, going as far as to make a robo-doppleganger of Rea's father, Oren, after abducting him while Rea's ran away, only for RobOren to gradually become a tortmentor & bring Reagan back to his life as a mercenary he grew up with. Once Rea discovers this, it sends him spiraling into obsession and aggression, eventually saving Oren, who's been degrading in a small cell for some years, and killing Rudy. During their confrontation she reveals her plans were something that, for some parts, Reagan would have agreed with, and her reasons were not bad but mislead her. Reagan's already become an abuser at this point and he knows it, him being able to empathize with someone who caused him so much strife does not help with his self image, and aids in his later suicide, using her tech.

SS has a sequel story with Sammy as a supporting character and I want to have the villains for that be similar levels to these ones, but they arent even conceptualized at this point.

Sammy is sooo

Massive freak (literal) with such intense separation anxiety that they cant sleep unless they have someone to hold onto. They also snore so loud it shakes the place. They're a light sleeper but their own snoring drowns out most disturbances. Reagan is so frail and skinny that their snoring rattles his bones so bad but he's such a heavy sleeper he doesnt care. On missions, Sammy and Rea always have to be a pair bc otherwise they'll beat up Oren or make Codi too nervous to function. They hate Oren so much and then after Rea is gone, they have no1 else to project their separation anxiety onto and suddenly love him so much and becomes Oren's caretaker overnight. They still cant sleep on their own and become aggressive when sleep deprived so they sleep with Oren who's only ever regularly slept with his now ex wife. They lose all their usual aggression once Rea is gone and just replace it with cowering and become a chronic pushover.

Oren is INCREDIBLY excited over the fact that Sammy finally likes him tho, the only downsides are that Oren doesn't like to eat and Sammy knows his skinny ass will skip and not finish them, so they're constantly making sure he does, and that Sammy's separation anxiety is worse due 2 circumstance and when it was Reagan, Rea himself barely had any personal time or space. Oren just has to cope with the fact he's now got someone constantly shadowing him. And snoring into his ear now

When they're an adult living with Iseah this is basically all amplified bc the people they care for keep leaving or dying, so now they act detached but are the most attached to someone they could heathily be. They work basically for 2 reasons, processing their grief and spoiling the hell out of Iseah. It worked tho, Iseah is obsessed with them & also completely understands that Sammy is as well.

are there any restaurants local to any of your OC’s that they really like to visit? if there is, what kind of thing would they order, and would they get the same thing every time or try something new each time

The single irony here is that erm my OCs live in space traveling planet 2 planet 2 collect bounties and such, so they dont rlly have local unless we count the sequel story. Also i dont rlly know many dishes admittedly, im picky despite wanting to be a foodie lolol, these r gna be vague in the end but its okay

Oren is picky to the point where he's just not picky. He legit doesn't like the taste or texture of any food and actively dislikes eating, he went to culinary school to try and find anything even. Nada. So he ends up just not having preference in the end but he does make sure that everyone else is getting good food at least.

Codi likes seafood, less so shellfish but she'll still enjoy it. She also likes sour and tangy food. As for pickiness, she actually likes to explore a lot, but still knows what she wont like. She'll try to get something new usually, but if a location has something familiar for once, she'll stubbornly cling to it.

Reagan starts off a little picky, he mostly likes sweet, savory and spicy things, but I only mean picky in that he doesnt like exploring outside those 3 things. He's known for making some terrible stuff that only he enjoys. Luckily, the topic is eating out. He's small so he usually just tries to skip right to some chocolaty dessert, but if he cant then he'll find something to make everyone else's problem by finding the spiciest dish and then asking for it to be even more hot. He revels in it if he can get the others uncomfortable just by being around his dish. Once Rea's powers come into play tho he starts going for quantity and heat more than taste and spice, way less picky.

Sammy goes from incredibly picky (will only eat plain oatmeal and fruit smoothies) to being a wastebin as long as its vegetarian, at which point they love to explore new foods. Sammy has poor spice tolerance, which the others use against them, but otherwise they're excited to try anything. They have a slight preference for baked goods or anything grilled, but that's about it

Eurm in the sequel story, Sammy's actually settled down somewhere, but is pretty agoraphobic, so its rare they go out. When they do, its usually for something small. They dont like most drinks that arent water, but on occasion they might have a citrussy green tea, then they usually just go for some cheesy ass pasta or a chocolatey or lemony pastry.

Iseah, Sammy's housemate, is also not so picky, though he's definitely become less so due to exposure. His only preference is for savory dishes, he likes spicy things and meaty things not too disimilar to Reagan, but unlike Reagan, he isnt willing to make terrible foods just for fun. He loves when Sammy busts out a grill, the only draw back is that Sammy doesnt eat meat but they like to experiment on what they make, so Iseah either gets something very similar to each other or very strange. Either way, its not bad, and usually better at any rate.

I dont listen to TWRP anymore just due to lack of interest but that band straight up changed my life trajectory for the better. I dont support game grumps anymore for multiple reasons, but Starlight Brigade especially kicked me off in the right direction. Without it, I would NOT have Soulset Assunder, Reagan used to look a lot like Strive & his 8 year old design still pays some homage. It is THE music video that got me to be really into space and scifi.
