#Victorin OC

[catty-kitkat]

I took a sketchbook doodle and digitally colored it. I liked the expression and pose of the sketch and wanted to finish it up. I played around with line thickness to try to help with the perspective and lighting. As well, as coloring the lines in blue that were closer to the light sconces. The background was something quick I threw together to try and give it some visual interest (especially given the Lacke of backgrounds in my gallery).

Victorine “Victoria” Baird of the Wayhaven Chronicles

[slimehatart]

Hello everyone!

It's me again. Today, we'll be talking about group dynamics! One thing I'm always enjoying a lot in anime and manga is the often times beautiful bond and friendship of the protagonists. There are many different kinds of relationships - best friends like it is in One Piece, people who hate each other so much that they love each other as in Ranma 1/2, people who were friends in an instant like those in Dr Slump, people who are united by fate and grow to attach to one another like the sailor guardians in Sailor Moon... There are all kinds of group dynamics and it is probably very hard to make different people come together and have them be authentic friends.

(original Tweet: "Today's practice session's product. I tried to be faster again and could get this WIP done in ~40 to 60 mins. I'll probably colour it too.

Wanted to draw my story's group and their chaotic dynamic. They don't always get along but also love each other. :D", August 5th, 2021)

Well, as for me, I wanted to create characters who complete each other and who I would love to be friends with. Basically, each of my characters represents a side of myself in a way, so it's not hard for me to think about them interacting with each other.

There are very active and outgoing characters, such as Risebert, Liora or Miles. There are distant and suspecting characters, for example Ziyan, Sarim or Patra. But it is as a whole that I want them to shine. I think the group dynamic is very chaotic at times, because the party lacks some kind of leading figure.

(original Tweet: "I scribbled an update on the protagonist team of my story! Really want to do one digital drawing of them again in full colour since some designs have changed and new team members have been added!

Feel free to read the Alt-text for an elaborate description of some background info!", June 29th, 2022)

Sure, Liora might be considered the leader of the team. But she surely is not a great leader. Everyone can and will take their own decisions according to their personality, but as a community, they will look out for each other in a way or two. Having a leading figure is not bad, though. Luffy for example, is a great leader despite his goofiness. His friends respect his choices more often than not and acknowledge him as their leader. Conan Edogawa leads the Detective Boys with his natural leading qualities and earned respect of the other kids. There are badly written leaders, too, though. Yu-Gi-Oh's Yami Yugi helps Yugi be confident and successful, but there is kind of no reason for Joey, Tristan or Thea, Bakura and Mai to follow him so devotiously. Monster Rancher's Genki is kinda thrown into a leading role when in fact Holly is the one who brings the group forward.

(original Tweet: "Been drawing a little bit. With the tablet I have for studies, I tried scribbling, but the pen isn't really suited for drawing and I don't think I've seen a good free program yet, unfortunately (sketching w/o colours is fun tho). Also drew on actual paper again, it's so fun!", October 6th, 2021)

As you see, heaving someone in charge can be a very hard role to write. I like my protagonists to be on an eye to eye level, with everyone's motivation kept mostly equal at most times. When the party comes together and works on achieving the goals of one single member, they do it because they're friends, not because they're told to by a leader. So that's how I'm sticking with them for now!

I think there are many many layers that make a good group dynamic. It isn't enough for the whole group to work together greatly, I think. You also need them to be able to shine when they're on their own. On top of that, you need them to be able to come together in very small groups and get their dynamics to work out as well. This is the hard part, I think. Ranma 1/2 and One Piece do a great job with this. You can put two randomly chosen main characters together and they just feel authentically great together with no hesitation.

(original Tweet: "Quick midnight doodle trying to get into (digital) drawing again~", January 10th, 2022)

Miles is an outgoing, energetic character. But he will help Victorine with mundane tasks and I feel like it is going to be a genuine interaction. At the same time, Miles can go on missions with Risebert and both stand their own. Miles can meet up with Sarim and both, with their own different personalities - one carefree and the other a coward -, can still authentically feel like best friends.

I really need to draw more pictures with single members of the main cast together, because I really want to see those scenarios act out on paper. It is a fun thing to imagine and I think they all work. It doesn't have to be all lovey dovey between them, though. For example, Risebert and Ziyan, much like Zoro and Sanji, have an unspoken rivalry going in between them with one being outdoorsy like a dog and the other reserved like a cat. I think it's fun to watch friends bicker amongst each other. It makes me appreciate them even more when they have each other's back in hardships. This is something the Sailor Moon anime does really well, too. I loved the season 1 finale with everyone dying one after another. When Usagi and Rei were the last girls standing, their interactions felt so genuine and authentic... All thanks to their constant arguments when they weren't in danger before.

I think putting together characters who are polar opposites is a great way to shake and freshen up the whole dynamics and friendship formulas! Figuring out one main characteristic of each character can help putting them together to create the right dynamics, I think. It's like mixing and matching colours, in a way!

(original Tweet: "As a German saying goes: "once the cat leaves the house, the mice will dance on tables" - if chief Liora were to leave for a few days, her team mates would try to fill her place in the guild reception.

I wanted to visualize how each member would do in today's practice session!", August 13th, 2021)

All those parameters can help you create a great group of individuals with each one having room to shine! I hope I can make my characters shine, too!

This is it for today's blog entry! If you want to look up a post to a specific character, you can check out the tags! I tagged all posts with the names of the characters I mention them in! See you soon!

¡¡Victorine!! ¿Qué piensas de tu tripulación actual, crees que son buenos compañeros...?

Victorine: Eehhh Bueno ahora mismo solo tengo dos miembros en la tripulación... Leo... Es buen chico... Quizá demasiado inseguro-... Igual eso se mejora con las años-... Es que es un crío. Un buen crío, en serio (da un trago a la botella y niega) Luego está Jason-... Ugggggg... Demasiado buen pirata, a veces le daría una patada en el culo...

Victorine: Noe, el enano que recogimos-... Limpia bien, pero es muy respondón quizá tenga que darle una lección... O dos. Y la otra, Briseida, reitero que no son de mi tripulación, es una chiquilla de buena familia, no se puede quedar por aquí, aunque su entusiasmo-... Es algo apreciable supongo. Pero no son de mi tripulación.

Even more OC Icons

Et voilà les dernières icônes d'OCs que j'ai faites pour l'instant ! Plus ou moins, j'en ai aussi fait une de l'OC d'une amie, on verra si elle est ok pour que je le partage une autre fois. En tout cas, ici nous avons trois projets différents. Les 6 premiers personnages sont de Terne, mon histoire avec des faes. Pour commencer, Ateana, reine du Soleil, et ses enfants jumeaux, Safra et Sadi. La seconde ligne est composée de Njall, un épéiste de la Cour des Neiges, puis Victorine et Tricia de la Cour de la Lune. Victorine est une des rares humaines à prospérer dans le Territoire fae, c'est aussi la meilleure amie de Kelis.

Après ces six là, nous avons trois personnages d'Aux Fleurs l'Éternité, un projet que je ne suis pas sûre d'écrire, mais nous verrons ! Dans l'ordre, la princesse sans nom d'Anand, Ilkay, et Gwenn. Et pour finir, sur la dernière ligne, nous avons les trois personnages que je préférais dans un projet que j'écrivais au lycée. Il était honnêtement pourri, mais je suis toujours attachée à ces trois meilleurs amis, ils s'appellent Aisia, Skaï et Ezra.

(English under read more)

And with that, that's all the OC icons I've made for now! Well kinda, I also made one of a friend's OC but we'll see at another time if she agrees with me sharing it. In any case, here we have three different projects. First are 6 characters from Terne, my fae story. First are Ateana, the Sun Queen, and then her twin children, Safra and Sadi. The second line is made of Njall, a swordsman from the Snow court, and then Victorine and Tricia from the Moon court. Victorine is the rare human who thrives in fae territory, as well as Kelis' best friend.

After these six, we have three characters from Aux Fleurs l'éternité, a project I'm not sure I'll write but who knows! In order the Nameless Anand princess, Ilkay, and Gwenn. And finally on the last line we have the three characters I liked the best in a project I wrote back in high school. It honestly sucked but I still have a fondness for these three best friends, their names are Aisia, Skaï and Ezra.

💉🪽 for ask game :33!!

sorry fur responding to this late!! I'm sorry as well fur anyone who sent 🪽 in my inbox, i haven't had the energy to infodump so I've just put them on hold 😞😞 but I'll get to them slowly!

a kin memory

sharing a small memory from one of my highest IDs, ocean queen Lizzie from empires SMP season 1! i remember standing on the shores of a sandy beach, feeling the waves wash over my legs, im pretty sure i had already transformed into the axolotl queen by then. it was a bright sunny day and it was peaceful. there were seagulls or something. i was mainly focused on the water, how they looked under the sun, their clearness and tranquility, and how they moved with the waves. back when i used to meditate, id focus on this memory because it brought me a lot of peace and happiness ^_^

『 🪽 』

infodump about an oc

now I will be infodumping about a recent oc i made for a roleplay with my partner and friend! her name is Clarion Aria Usher, or just Aria

picrew linkie. here's a link to her playlist as well

and YES, i do roleplay, so what!? i love writing, and i love collaborating with my loved ones to create a story together. and for the record, i write about 2-4 or more paragraphs per response, depending on the scene and my mood. so i do some serious writing when i roleplay and it's not just some simple one liners with asterisks.

so the roleplay is basically this zombie apocalypse story, where the zombies are similar to the cordyceps zombies from the last of us (that was my idea hehe) and we're still in the early stages of the apocalypse. like, not everything has been destroyed and abandoned yet, and the government is still a thing and they're still trying to maintain control, but they won't be able to keep up a facade of control any longer.

I'm also going to quickly mention Aria's inspirations: her family was heavily based on the ushers from the fall of the house of usher (2023). aria herself was only partly inspired by Fallon Carrington from Dynasty (2017). the media that inspired he will be veeeryy obvious when i talk about her LMAO

okay! so. Aria's family, the ushers, is this super rich and super influential family. as in like, they practically control most of the globe. the Usher dynasty is very big (like, imagine the usher kids from tfothou didnt die and a lot of them had kids or something) and each family focuses on their own industry. media and entertainment, power and energy, medicine, technology, etc. Aria's family focuses on energy (like the Carringtons). so you could immediately understand that Aria's life was privileged and glamorous. she practically had endless money to throw around, her family's name assured she had protection and respect wherever she went, everything was handed to her on a diamond encrusted platter, etc etc.

aria was still encouraged to work for what she wanted, and she did attempt to start her own company rather than work at her father's. but she still struggled with trying to become independent because she's so used to relying on people

because like Aria's a little bitch yk. during the roleplay i plan for her to heavily rely on the other characters and expect her teammates to serve her and always help her, despite not contributing anything herself. i want her to treat her teammates condescendingly, like shit. she wants everything to go her way, because for all her life that's how everything went, but now things aren't like that anymore because her aunt (aunt Victorine... wHWUAJUDHAH /ref) let a virus she was experimenting with break out from her laboratory and infect an entire city.

(okay well, it's a bit deeper than that. certain conditions in the environment allowed the virus to inhabit human bodies and spread so quickly, and these conditions were caused by the actions of the ushers. certain issues in society made it harder for regular people to live well during the virus lockdown, and these societal issues were once again caused by the ushers. so yeah they had a hand in a lot of things, directly or indirectly).

and that infected city is the city aria is currently trapped in. and for lore reasons she has to actually fight to get out of this city because her family dumped her there and left her behind.

so yeah! that's her current situation. i plan that her character arc will involve finally realizing her family's evil, exploitation, and damage, and turning her back on them so she can change for the better :3

oh yeah and Aria's nonhuman cause i thought that'd be cool. her mom is sort of an avian (hey idk what her species would be called) and her name Clarion was inspired by her mother, but she hates her mother so she doesn't use that name. she hates that she looks a lot like her mother. oh yeah and also aria can't fly because she got her wings clipped when she was 18. I'll write something about that someday. it's supposed to be a painful event

anyway I'm going to show some snippets of my writing for aria as a bonus for anyone who's read this far :3

i don't have much to show for her because we're literally still in the first scene LMAO but I'm excited to see how this goes!

[flanaganhq]

I want to apply very badly but none of the characters are jumping out at me. Do you have any current WCs, maybe OCs or something building on/outside of the established canon? Thanks!!

Hi anon! First off, we have a few more skeleton bios we plan on releasing! We wanted to release them in waves, to give members and potential members options later down the line. We have skeletons planned for characters from each of our accepted shows, like Juno Usher, Ed Flynn, Leigh Crain, and Trish Park, to name but a few! If there's a minor canon character you might be interested in, let us know and we can chat about that. If you're more interested in OCs, I can certainly help there too. I'm not sure which show you'd prefer to have immediate connections with, so I'll just list all the possibilities I have in mind right now: MIDNIGHT MASS: I would love for older members of the congregation of St Patrick's — perhaps a character who's been on Crockett for decades, and is very suspicious of the new priest who looks familiar. Maybe they were a friend of Mildred Gunning's, back in the day. If you'd like to play a younger character, how about the child of a devout parishioner who wants to leave the island for bigger and better things? BLY MANOR: If you'd like to play a younger character with ties to Bly, I'm sure Tarin would love for a younger character to befriend Flora, perhaps someone she's met through her job as a waitress, someone new to the island? There's also scope for older OC members of staff who work at Bly Manor — it's a big place, likely with more staff than what we saw in the show. TFOTHOU: Or how about a staff member who works for Roderick and Madeline at their new home on Crockett? Maybe they even have their own deal with Verna, and they're spying on Roderick and Madeline for some reason. Maybe they're a local who got a job working with Victorine or Camille, and it's causing tension as the different personalities clash. HILL HOUSE: Similarly, maybe an local to Crockett has got a job helping to restore Hill House now the Crain family are back on the island again. Or perhaps a local reporter is looking to cover the story of their return after so long, and uncover the truth of what happened to Olivia Crain all those years ago. These are just the ideas I have off the top of my head! If members have anyone they would like to see, either canon or OC, chime off in the comments! Whoever you choose to apply for, we'd love to have you.

my first drawing of victorine and madeliene - my original characters. (2019)

they were written pretty differently to the way i write them now. but in short: they’re an empress and her maid.

[gathersroses]

when i get home:

muses to add:

mamie ( w.est side st.ory )

eliza w.illiams ( s.ense and s.ensibility )

muses to retire:

victorine hawthorne ( vampire oc )

maybe v.ictoria e.verglot

maybe c.osette fauchelevent

[kudomens]

[Ezepheryne Victorin.] Still a new OC but also a Vtuber, he doesn't have one yet but dreams of becoming one too, he loves croissants and crabs! He's a very shy type who has trouble speaking in front of a camera and doesn't like his voice but he makes efforts over time, over the years...

House of Usher AU (Eng)

Something that's been on my mind lately is an AU based on the Mike Flanagan series The Fall of the House of Usher. So far, I have in mind a few of the family dynamics in this AU.

So far, this is the cast:

Roderick Usher - Clay Fermin

Madeline Usher - Kazarina

Frederick Usher - Keith Fermin

Tamerlane Usher - Mira Fermin

Victorine LaFourcade - Soleil Fermin (OC)

Napoleon Usher - Asher Fermin (OC)

Camille L'Espanaye - Lucine Fermin (OC)

Prospero Usher - Dylan Fermin (OC)

Leonore Usher - Kentatzu (OC)

Juno - Hydron

Arthur Pym - Barodius (TENTATIVE)

Changes to the original series:

Clay and Kazarina aren't twins. They're actually half-siblings who were born on the same day, and both ended up in social services, which is where they met and started being close friends.

All the "bastards" are Hydron's kids. Clay married Hydron when he was 15 and he impregnated Hydron 3 times (Soleil and Lucine are twin sisters) when he was between 15 and 19. He wasn't even 20 and he already had 4 kids, poor Hydron. Oh, btw, in this AU Hydron is transgender (I'm personally not too keen on A/B/O dynamics and, for me, it's easier to just make him AFAB and that's the end of it, that's how he got pregnant, he has a pussy, the end), he went under an experimental hormone treatment that Clay's pharmaceutical developed, but that was after having his kids.

Kentatzu is Barodius and Kazarina's son, but he was born through an artificial womb to which both Kazarina and Barodius gave their DNA. Kazarina pretty much raised Kentatzu alone since she only asked for Barodius' genes as a favor bc she trusts Barodius that much. Kentatzu does know who his father is but doesn't talk much about it. He's the one that actually manages to talk Hydron into leaving Clay once and for all after Clay ruined Hydron's whole youth.

Mira and Keith have some kind of incestous relationship. Gus finds out and he himself kills Keith out of jealousy. I think I'll dispose of a Morilla Usher in this AU since the change Kentatzu does to the world is motivating Hydron to leave Clay, which completely erases a Morilla here. Besides, I don't think Gus would be capable of betraying Keith and the idea of Keith abusing Gus out of jealousy is so OOC for me. Canonically, Keith only shows interest in Gus when he finds there's no one there to do the stuff Gus did. He only cared about Gus in an utilitarian manner, and I want to respect that one-sided relationship Keith and Gus have where Gus worships Keith and Keith just gives him crumbs of affection. Besides, I don't think Keith is as mad as Gus to torture someone with his own hands, but Gus is actually crazy, so I do believe him capable of killing Keith bc he found out Keith bangs with his sister in secret. Ace also knows this, but he pretends it doesn't bother him.

The order of the deaths changed to respect the way they went from the youngest of Roderick's kids to the oldest in the series. Dylan dies first and Lucine dies second, of course, but Soleil is the third one to die and Asher the fourth one before Mira and Keith die in that respective order.

Hydron is 50 by the time the events of the story take place (his kids are in their 30's when they die). However, he still looks kinda young bc Clay subjected Hydron to an experimental anti-aging treatment his pharmaceutical was doing. Hydron only accepted it for the sake of his kids. Hydron has wanted to leave Clay since day one, but when he had his kids, he started fearing the quality of life he could give them, so he stayed with Clay to ensure a good life for his kids. His kids always told him to leave Clay, but he always said no to that proposal bc he actually believed he couldn't raise his kids without Clay's money. It's until they die and Kentatzu talks with Hydron that Hydron finally does what's best for him: Leaving Clay's ass.

That's what I have of this AU for now. I'll make another post talking about Clay and Hydron's kids, they've been living in my head rent-free. I admit they're probably my laziest OCs ever when it comes to their physical appearance, but I'm having lots of fun building their lore (which differs somewhat from the original series). I hope you enjoy reading every now and then of this AU as much as I enjoy writing about it 💖
