i can't pick just one of those OCs to ask about... SO! gimme your favourite fact(s) about each of them!

THAMKS AAA ok so a little bit of background info first: darkwater creek is a town that's essentially stuck in some sort of a pocket dimension >:^) you can enter town freely but as soon as you're in there it's very difficult to leave because trying to leave town almost always results into wandering directly into a place called the loop, which is a ring-shaped dimension in this other dimension which is also nearly impossible to escape from <3

if people are interested, here's my pin board for darkwater creek and here's the one for the loop tee hee >:^)

the characters i drew are all from darkwater creek! aside from the town being a setting for an original story i'm also working on making it into a TTRPG >:^) the characters are all from different lineages and archetypes which give the players different features to play with in the game, it's not finished yet in the slightest but it's a start and i am VERY excited about it teehee

so jin and suki are twins. or. well. that's what they tell other people. in reality, jin is suki's clone :) cloning people is a thing that can happen in darkwater creek, they have. pretty fucked up technologies there because of a special energy they get from the loop which kind of serves like magic a little bit but it's Different <3 either way suki's parents cloned her when she was younger and then used the large sum of money they got from it to try and escape town, and they left suki there with her new twin sister. the girls are now obsessed with the loop and try to find a safe way to travel to and from it because they believe their parents are stuck in there and they have. so many questions for them that they want answered. understandably so LMAO

the twins are best friends of armando who is arguably the most normal one of the whole group <3 he's the only one who doesn't have loop energy running through his veins so he's lichrally just some guy but!! he is very friendly and social and knows a lot of people in town, and just in general knows a lot about town and about history :) he's also very interested in the loop and is helping the twins with their research <3

ryder is also part of their friend group, the four of them have been besties since middle school basically <3 the problem is, ryder died in a car accident in their last year of high school :( the crash happened at the edge of town and ryder's body was never found because they ended up in the loop somehow and loop energy turned them into a phantom, meaning they're kind of stuck between dimensions and neither fully dead nor fully alive. the twins can see ryder because of the loop energy but armando can't actually see or hear them which is. a bit difficult sometimes since ryder DOES still hang out with them. but they're making it work <3 LMFAO

it's important to know that they were all besties in high school because they also weren't all that popular there :( bullied even on some occasions, by the popular kids. and gaige was friends with those kids back in school </3 not a bully himself but also did not do anything to stop his friends out of fear of being disliked etc etc and so on, basically a pathetic wet rag of a man but at least his tits looked good while doing it. at some point he stumbled into the loop on accident while piss drunk and he got stuck in that dimension for about a month (which equals to about two loop years so he was in there for a while aha xoxo), to the point it turned him into a necron; still sort of human, but his physical form is always falling apart a little bit </3 when he stumbled out of the loop again he was found by the twins and. well. soon enough everyone in town was scared of him </3 but the twins, armando and ryder aren't so they allow him to stick around and he becomes just some guy and now they're friends <3

that is all i have about the gang right now!! i'm hoping that now that i've actually drawn all of them i'll have motivation to do more with them but we shall see >:^)

i need to be hit with gaige facts so 🫀👻🥞🐌🏡🪆 for my boy please <3

THANK U SO MUCH RENA AAAA the emojis refuse to show up for me on desktop so i hope i picked the right ones. and if i didn't then we will all simply ignore that <3 SHJFHDJGD

🫀 ANATOMICAL HEART: do they have any "upgrades" to their body, like cybernetic enhancements?

gaige has spent too long in the loop and it's turned him into a necron, which means he's kind of just. changing skin every now and then... like a snake... but then in a sort of decomposing kind of way but without the bad smell LMFAO he's simply just falling apart it's fine <3 it Does however also mean he's got heightened senses AND!! he can unhinge his jaw and he's got sharp fangs >:^) and he has darkvision. there's a lot going on there

👻 GHOST: do they believe in the supernatural or paranormal? have they ever had any "encounters"?

well he is basically considered to be part of the supernatural himself now so Yes SGHJFDHGJDF it's funny though because he used to like. not want to accept the reality he lives in (darkwater creek is stuck in some sort of a pocket dimension, there is no way out etc etc) which might also be why he tried to leave town that one time. and then he got stuck in the loop. and now he's part of the horrors himself <3 oops

🥞 PANCAKES: what's their comfort food?

LORE TIME BABEEEY ok so there's a diner in town called mickey's diner and they've got a sweet & spicy chicken waffle burger on the menu and gaige would kill a man for that burger. it's his all time favorite and he is forever glad that becoming a necron hasn't taken away his ability to taste because if that had happened he would've exploded the whole world with his mind

🐌 SNAIL: what's their happy place? do they have somewhere they can retreat to just chill out for a while?

as for right now, gaige only has his own apartment to vibe at </3 when he's Officially part of the gang he can also chill at their base of operations or at one of their places (i'm still working on the details for all of that teehee) and he would regularly do that because he doesn't like to be alone :(

🏡 HOUSE WITH GARDEN: where do they live? do they have a house to themselves or do they live with somebody, or something else?

gaige currently lives alone in a small apartment downtown :) it's one of the older buildings of the city and there's a lot of paranormal activity in it but he's used to that at this point LMAO if anything the phantoms can be good company to hang out with sometimes <3

🪆 NESTING DOLLS: do they have any collections or cool things around their living space? are they materialistic?

gaige has surprisingly little belongings :( he had to sell a lot of stuff at some point to be able to pay rent so his apartment is Very Empty right now... eventually he would spice it up more when he starts making money with the stuff he and the gang do but i'm still working on that so >:^) more details on the way at some point teehee

oc asks!
