#UmbraNocturneOC

[umbranocturnes]

Hello everyone! This is my first ever art post on Tumblr! I am a instagram artist but with the algorithmic changes (and with the bird app being both terrifying and on fire 24/7-) I decided to also jump onto Tumblr so I'm here now! Yay?

Also this isn't really my normal art style, my art is in a weird period rn where I don't know what I'm doing so this is more based on my constant obsession the Hellsing anime. It's something quick I threw together for a post.

Umbra is my avatar so you will be seeing them on occasion!

Umbra has some lore and is a hybrid entity based in my world's lore. They are sort of a time traveler that comes and goes throughout different eras of history not really belonging to a time of their own. They can change their appearance on command and the full limits of their power remains unknown. Umbra has a foul temper and a fouler mouth they are also equally headstrong and driven.

I also refer to myself as Admin or Anon. (I go by they/them like Umbra but I will accept other pronouns)

I did not use Tumblr for the longest time due to a traumatic incident years ago where a blog on this platform almost made me quit art. However I am finally on here to take a look around and interact with other artists and my fandoms on my 2nd account. (@magnificentbastardanon) If you want to check out my Instagram, and other socials (granted most of them are new-) feel free to click around on my Carrd link on my pinned post!

Setheroth Constantinescu Noctus

[OC introduction + other artwork versions below the cut!]

[TW: mentions of nazis and WWII related material, nothing graphic. Goes without saying but I don't support fascism, however it comes with the time period my book grapples with.]

Setheroth is a undead agent codenamed "Hyde" who served in a splinter branch of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) headed by Alfred Hackett from 1941 to 1945 during the Second World War. He served alongside his former Lord and comrade Valerius codenamed "Jekyll" spying on nazis together from within SS high command after infiltrating it early on int he war. He spent the duration of the war torn between playing the role of a mad Axis commander and a loyal British spy/saboteur serving the Allies. He “fought” in many battles during the war mostly on the eastern front alongside Valerius and "their commanders". During the war Setheroth coordinates several assassinations of high ranking nazi officers and officials, sabotages nazi supply lines, supplies resistance groups in France and Poland, frees Allied prisoners of war and victims of Axis cruelty alike, and engages in other espionage operations. He is noted for rewriting Axis battle plans to better suit Allied strategy and rescuing captured British commanders. He has many friends who serve with the Allies (mostly British army) and a few notable ones from the Axis who were defectors.

After the war he gains citizenship in Britain and lives together with Valerius staying in the army for a few more years serving as a Captain in the Intelligence Corps. He retires along with Valerius when word reaches them regarding the arrest of Alan Turing. Fearing for himself as a not-so-closeted homosexual and Valerius as a closeted bisexual. Alongside their friends (many of whom are also queer) they struggle to adapt back into civilian life, Setheroth battling mental illness and discrimination. Though regarded as a hero by those who know him, and his close friends, he struggles with his role in the war and reconciling what he did during his time as a spy.

Additional Info:

This is my main character and OC from "The Violinist" a historical-fiction novel series I have been plotting /working on for 6+ years! Can't wait to share more about Setheroth and my other OCs in the future! His character is very dear to me.

Setheroth was born November 23rd, 1432

His nickname is "Seth" outside military business

His ethnicity is German Saxon and Romanian

His proper name is Setheröt Constantinescu Noctus but answers to both. His name gradually changed over the centuries to be more removed from its Germanic origins.

Setheroth is a dead being in my book called a Hybrid. He has genetics of both a Vampire [Vampyre] and a Daemon [a dead being that uses magic considered inherently 'dark' but not with malicious intent.] This change occurs after a incident in the battle of Stalingrad.

The scar around Setheroth's neck is from where the nazis formerly commanded by him, attempted to hang him figuring out he was an Allied spy all along. He has several other scars including ones from his mortal death.

Setheroth has 3 piercings. A tongue piercing he did himself, a brass stud made of a bullet casing from Stalingrad. Then much later after the war snake bites with the studs made from the same bullet casing.

Setheroth has several medals, they are in order: The George Cross, Military Medal, 1939-1945 Star, France and Germany Star, War Medal 1939-1945. Setheroth is wearing the 1940 pattern No. 5 Battle Dress.
