oooh i’d like to hear about your ocs! :0 which one is your favorite? as of right now
[surprised pikachu.png] oh god someone actually asked about them.
Honestly my favorite oc changes. So Often. Based on whatever i happen to be fixating on, so it's hard to choose a favorite?
But I'll pick Chea and Aster for now. Originally Chea was going to be a dnd pc [Aasimar divine warlock] and Chea was an important NPC and basically the whole reason she became a warlock. I could never find a campaign for Chea though so they became regular OCs. I plan on maybe writing a book about them one day?
Chea was born in this small village that's sorta nestled halfway into the mountains. She wasn't really abandoned or neglected but she WAS left to her own devices 90% of the time not super close to any of her actual family because of it. The two people she was closest to by far are her angelic guide and Aster. One day Aster gets sick with something. It doesn't start off all that bad but it only gets worse. Nobody can do anything to help, including Chea, who has divine healing magic as part of her birthright. There's rumors of a hag that lives even higher up in the mountains, making horrible one-sided deals as hags are want to do. Chea is desperate enough to make a deal, which the hag does with an awful smile. "Spread the disease ten-fold for one drop of cure." Of course, Aster's going to need a lot more than one drop of any cure, which is going to necessitate far more people than the village can provide. So, Chea leaves on her mission and tries not to think about how many lives she has to ruin in order to save one.
Aster is Chea's childhood friend. As previously mentioned, they're Sick with something that cannot be cured, and very aware it might very well kill them. I won't say what it actually is because of ~spoilers~ but it is at least somewhat magical, and the symptoms are all unique enough that they haven't been able to find anyone able to actually identify what's wrong with them. Aster is exactly afraid of dying but they're afraid of dying ALONE, and suddenly Chea's going off on some adventure ALONE. Aster knows it's all for them- to save THEIR life, but as time goes on they grow more and more anxious that Chea will return to a gravestone- or that Chea won't return at all. So, they leave in an attempt to catch up.
Surely nothing can go wrong with this situation and the questionable amount of communication going on.
