#ask about my ocs!

[noctilionoidea]

drop the favorite oc lore noct 🔫👁️👁️

haha what do you mean favourite I love all my children equally!!!!!

anyways Ash

My horrible gremlin girl I love you so much. This is going to be so fucking long but so many details and the big twists are excluded so uh. Yeah it’s fairly convoluted

So in this universe there’s a bunch of stories happening across history, and the idea is that there’s truth to literally all belief systems. Because I like studying ancient religion and shit and I also really love fairytales folklore and cryptids! It’s a huge part of my childhood so it’s the main root of literally all my ocs’ stories. Ash’s story mainly centers around demonology and abrahamic religions as well as Greek, Roman and a pinch of ancient levantine. Let’s just say for now the devil is kinda a good guy??? And the designs for the Greek gods are the same as my general ones, but I want to make it clear as day that they are very much just characters. I have a lot of issues with people blurring the line between character versions and the actual religious figures so I just want to state that. This is also the same universe that Toxaris and Ciara exist in!!! They are 700 to 600 BCE and 2023 CE respectively.

Ash is from a very complicated family history on both sides much of which is spoilers for this project I want to do shit for, but the story starts in 1997, she’s a edgy goth 17 year old in Springfield Massachusetts, she is very loved by her family and knows it but still has classic teenage angst and gets into fights constantly. Shes a loner and only really hangs out with her adopted/god-brother Will who’s literally just her whole world at this point and her stoner friend Matt.

She’s kinda just fucking around through her senior year so that then she can dedicate herself to her tattoo apprenticeship. Then comes Quincy, this sweet socially awkward kid from Appalachian Tennessee who’s come to live with his aunt after his parents died. Ash originally thinks he’s some cute butch, he is not but somehow she’s still kinda into him despite assuming she was gay as shit (she’s a girl with complicated sexuality for today living in the fucking nineties), and they get really close. As friends. So they have a solo hangout. As friends. So they decide to explore some old house from the colonial period that’s rumored to be haunted together. As friends. Quincy’s fairly superstitious but not enough to take it that seriously, Ash fundamentally disbelieves in anything supernatural but wants to do it for the goth cred and thinks it’s fun. She likes spooky things. She may be atheist as fuck and not believe in the existence of souls, but fun is fun!

yea turns out there be ghosts. So these ghosts are shitty fucking puritans, and for some reason they’re specifically targeting Quincy. Ash doesn’t understand why (she’s clearly the less godly one) so she has to try and get him out of there. Eventually she gets so worried for her friend (they’re just friends guys) that she ends up cussing them out and calling them out on their shit, and decides in a moment of adrenaline to set the place on fire. Somehow it ends up pacifying them???

so it turns out supernatural shut is real. Okay. She’s trying to play it off. But she notices a lot of things happening just out of view that’s always accompanied by ringing in her ears. It’s demons and they’re stalking her. Her mom is a professor of religious studies at an unnamed university so she borrows some of her (…) more relevant books. At this point her kinda-ex-but-also-the-feelings-are-still-there girlfriend who left a year ago to pursue a music career returns, but something’s very wrong with her. The demons are also starting to physically attack her and Quincy, yet somehow she is able to fight them back in almost the same way she fights other kids. They’re scared, they don’t know what to do, Ash is kinda caught between trying to save two people she loves romantically (because that this point she’s stating to feel that her feelings for Quincy aren’t exactly platonic) and also figure out why she’s wrapped up in this.

that’s the first arc, immediately afterwards Aphrodite gets involved, even when face to face and having conversations with several deities Ash will consider herself atheist, ash’s dad comes from the linage of Aeneas and that’s only mildly important, Quincy is a changeling, something something antichrist and rebellion in hell, uncle Satan??? Mommy issues happen, the consequences of pulling yourself away from the people you love as a means to protect them, Will goes through religious trauma, she makes more friends that become family because of shared trauma and finding community through the weirdest fucking ties. Will and Matt are totally fucking

Eventually Ash does play a part in Ciara’s story! Shes the cool aunt who shows up sometimes and is deeply protective, She and Morgan have friendly beef, she’s really confused about how Ciara deals with her supernatural bullshit like running errands and not having her world view massively deconstructed, she and Quincy are married and also have a kid they stole from the fairfolk in wales.

Anyways random stuff here- Ash’s dad Snaketongue ( his given name is Joseph) is an atheist (ex Pentecostal from West Virginia) and his philosophy is heavily influenced by his hatred of corporations and the devastation that was his first two and a half decades of life. Ash is very much like him and looks up to him. He lost his leg in a mining accident at 16, loves being a mechanic and is terrified ash will follow in his steps (…). He was involved with motorcycle gangs in his late teens and early twenties and got his tongue split as torture in a fight. He thinks this is cool as shit.

Will moved up to Springfield in his infancy with his mom, who despite loving his father didn’t want Will to grow up like him or be hurt by his lifestyle, and worked with Snaketongue, and they had a really close bond and ended up raising their kids together. Will’s mother ended up dying in a car accident when he was 7, and was legally adopted by Snaketongue and Ellie (not ash’s mom’s real name lmao). He already saw Snaketongue as his dad, but took awhile to consider Ellie a mom since he was still mourning his mom and didn’t want to replace her. This was when Ash became super protective of him. He’s a year younger than her. He is a good Christian boy (…) who genuinely wants to do everything to help others. Unfortunately he joined an evangelical church, which has the rest of the family on edge about how it effects him… it’s won’t end well. He’s very clearly in a relationship with Matt and trying to hide it, however the more deeply his feelings and the worse Matt’s situation gets he starts slipping.

“Ellie” is Ash’s mother, as previously mentions a professor of religious studies, and most of the other stuff is either a spoiler or needs to be worked out a bit more. Lmao

Ash’s full name is Ashley Sahar Bellone, she is 4’10 on a good day and salty as fuck about it, she is a cis intersex woman (complete androgen insensitivity syndrome) and has a lot of issues in her relationship with womanhood both as a result and because of how her behavior and attitude is perceived (she has no problem being seen as boyish androgynous or even full on a boy when crossdressing, but being treated like a failure of a woman hurts her a lot), she’s only ever been attracted to women and David Bowie as Jareth before Quincy. She loves apple pie and mourning doves. Her weapon of choice is a sica, gun, or punching and kicking people

so yea that’s Ash! And the start of her situation. So much is spoilers but I love her a lot

How's Careterina's relationship with your Rook? Does she approves of Lucanis and Rook relationship?

1 - i've been thinking about drawing this meme for a long time so here it is

2 - tbh im not sure. 🗿 i've thought about this a lot. and he's a crow, a skilled assassin, he's antivan, from treviso and very patriotic, he saved her favorite grandson, helped to stop her not really favorite grandson, he treats her with respect (she's the first talon and he understands it), also teia likes him haha. but he has literally nothing. he smells like a wet dog, wears pants mended a hundred times, eats trash and candles. also they won't be able to make new little dellamortes. could he be the right person for her grandson? but he makes him happy. 👉👈isn't it nice?

3 - happy new year guys!!!
