sometimes you'll feel dysphoria because you're for real doing something that does not ring true with your gender, other times you just need to broaden your horizons on all the interesting things hot girls can do

Finished the ref sheet for Vess, my newest GW2 character. They had a few differences to how they look in-game so I wanted to do a ref sheet to show a more accurate look for them.

It’s your turn to talk about your OCs!!! (Only if you want to of course)

hii im sorry i took so long to answer lol (turns out infodumping takes up a lot of effort)

I have like several ocs (mostly in utmv) but they arent really connected or part of one particular story like yours are. they just kind of exist in their own AUs. I should make them interact at some point tho i think that'd be fun!!

I could infodump abt them all but i think this post would actually be like several pages long so ill just give a synopsis on the 'favorite children' so to speak. four of which i very conveniently drew (mostly because of this ask) like yesterday so ill just use those images lol

Hopeless Error is my most recent character and honestly isnt very fleshed out (none of them are....) but basically it's: "What if Error/Geno never escaped the antivoid?". I made sure not to include any blue into his design because i think error sews his clothes from the strings and Hopeless doesn't have the strings so.. basically he's stuck with his original clothing + whatever he finds dumped in the antivoid.

Hopeless hasn't lost his memories from being Geno, though his memory is kinda bad from being so glitchy but also just from being in the antivoid for so long. He kind of gets certain events jumbled and mixed up, and chunks are either straight up gone or are false memories. Like error (and also geno before he escaped the loading screen) Hopeless is very bitter and cynical. I don't know if he's actually ANGRY like error but he's certainly unhappy and very apathetic with his circumstances.

In this AU Ink exists, but he's kind of just wandering around purposeless. If there's nobody destroying the AUs, there's no point in protecting them, either. because of this the multiverse is in a very stagnant state where new things aren't really being made, but the old things aren't being destroyed, either. it's just kind of... sad.

Recov is a much happier oc!! even though he looks grumpy 99% of the time lmao. Basically Recov is short for recovery au nightmare, who is, as you can probably infer, an au where nightmare gets reverted to his original form. I guess it's more of a "reverted au" since a lot of his problems go unsolved, but you get the point.

Recov agreed to be reverted to his original form, and had a truce with the Stars, but the actual conflict between them isn't really solved yet. just... band aided. Though, dream thinks it's all better because in his mind the issue was surface level and now that nightmare's appearance has been changed dream can finally have his brother back.

I'm honestly not sure what I want to do w/ this au. Obviously, both dream and nightmare have a redemption arc and slowly reconcile and heal the broken trust. but what of after? I was thinking that they become guardians of a new tree planted by dream, which is why Recov is dressed so formally in the image, but the whole point of the au is accepting that things change and that things CANT go back to the way they were before. planting a new tree and going back to square one kind of defeats that entire purpose.

So, for now, recovery au kinda just sits in my mental closet gathering dust lmao.

Lucid is short for Lucid Dream from Dreamswap77 (because there are several other dreamswap aus so i wanted to make mine distinct) if u cant tell I really love making dreamtale aus. though if u think recovery au is neglected wait till u see this one lmao

Lucid is not very fleshed out at all tbh lmao. Basically, the idea of dreamswap77 is that the actual dreamtale plot remains the same, but the character roles have been swapped. So, in this dream is the villain and brutal king of emotions, while nightmare is the poor hero who was tricked into eating the apple and got turned to stone for 800 years and has to gather a small faction (the bad sanses equivalent) to take down the king.

again Lucid and his backstory isnt really fleshed out at all but the reason he has one glowing eye is because he's like. all knowing (hence the name Lucid; being aware of the dream and controlling it) and has reign over both positive and negative emotions. I haven't decided what his powers are specifically but i think he uses them to deliver a specific, highly subjective and very brutal brand of "justice" to anyone who doesn't perfectly fit in that neat little box he considers to be morally good.

The vessel/Vess is very obviously the favorite child because i draw it a LOT and have infodumped about it like several times now. This is kinda the only character not from a specific au, kind of just an outcode. Or better yet error sans with a chara skin

the story of the vessel is basically that Gaster and Chara made an alliance and ended up taking joint control over the discarded vessel from deltarune. The vessel technically, secretly, is also its own person, though it never really gets a voice of its own until later.

the vessel's main goal is to gather up all the little gaster fragments through the multiverse. Though, with a long winded explanation I cant be bothered to type out, taking a gaster fragment from an AU leads to it being completely destroyed, which is why i said it's error with a chara skin. I think the vessel and error have a little rivalry going on, and sometimes (mostly when Gaster is fronting; he's a LOT more cooperative than chara) it teams up with Error against common enemies like Ink. Though, I think if Error ever found out the vessel's true goals he wouldn't be so willing to team up with it.

wow ok that was way longer than i thought itd be

Another new character! Vess the Necrotechnician!

Vess was orphaned from a young age. He found necromancy and undead beings endlessly fascinating, and studied them alongside their normal studies. This obsession led to others finding them repulsive however, and they were isolated from others, though that itself didn't bother them, sometimes the other progeny would bully them as well.

One such occasion led to a lab accident, where Vess was badly injured. Their legs were paralyzed. Filled with spite, Vess created prosthetic legs alongside a spine brace that ends in an artificial tail. They also created undead minions with technological enhancements, creating undead cyborgs.

They decided to take revenge on the other progeny that caused the lab accident, though they had all already graduated, they tracked them down. Vess used their minions to scare them, though these attacks led to them having a bad reputation, though at this point they didn't care anymore. They took up the facade of being someone dangerous if anyone messed with them to prevent others from approaching them anymore.

I really struggled with what they should look like and in the end they're supposed to look a bit different from the in-game appearance. There simply weren't options for what I had in mind exactly, so I went with what I found to be the closest. It took me a while though so under the cut are screenshots of my journey through several looks I had before settling on the final one, starting with some of their leveling looks:

I actually started with the F model at first, because I wanted long, untied hair, but in the end decided against it.

Their first leveling look was inspired by some other people's purple mount looks, I made a whole set but just going to post the main mount picture here. I neglected to take a closer screenshot of them just standing on the ground in this outfit.

Next look was inspired by some other player's look. It was white and black with green particle effects, and I really like that kind of look. Bit of a Danny Phantom look. I only had this image of them in their skiff as a closer look at them.

Then I bought my second total makeover kit and switched to the M model. I thought about it and decided they would sometimes tie their hair up, even if most of the time it was hanging free. Changed the eyes to purple, as the idea is that one of their eyes is white and the other is purple but there are no heterochromia options so I can only do one in-game.

Decided to add some purple into the outfit at the tail-end of level 70s.

And the final struggle once I had them geared up at level 80, what colours to use once again:

I really wanted the add some purple in there so not just their eyes were purple but it was no good. Well, it's not like the eyes have to match the colours of the outfit after all..

Back to this, and now have 4 pages to put up a new post!

And just so that its not too sparce: NOTES!

- I will be honest, as much as I like Deltarune, some of its npcs could use work. Trashy is a good example of how it affects this. In the game he's just a joke who everyone hates or tolerates despite trying to be friendly, and followed up by actually useless character nubert (who's even less of a joke and more of a tool to make an implied dynamic... and for Toby to troll fans with on some level, which is more confusing than anything to me). It's been hard to write for him beyond that as a result, and in previous drafts he's been far more angry behind everyone's back, or a downer who says depressing things in a cheery tone. Finally settled on him being a nice, nervous guy with a commitment to being some kind of a "spokesman" of a generally "lesser" area.

- The Void Glitch Nothing in the last page gained more importance as I planned things out, and while it was always going to attack Trashy, it was just gonna be a one-off, implied threat that Trashy ran away from before it even got close.
