#exploring a wendigo oc would be cool

[cry-ptidd]

Do you think there'd be, like, other mythical creatures hiding as humans? Like Unicorns, Wendigos, Yokai- I actually have an idea about the Wendigo one now ☠️

Hirano is so cruel for how little worldbuilding we got in Hellsing

The only lore we know is about vampires, we only know a few of a werewolf's abilities, we don't know what other creatures there are, it all happened about one specific religion in less than five specific places. We don't even know how Integra runs the organization or how Alucard's seals work.

I like to think that there would be other supernatural creatures around the world, not just vampires and werewolves. In my opinion the monsters should correlate with the place's local folklore (ie, yokai in Japan or wendigo in North America).

I love exploring culture and folklore so if Hirano ever said there's only goth bloodsuckers and furries in the Hellsing verse, I'd be so fucking mad

OC TIEM!! (*≧▽≦)

She reminds me of my friend named Cassy, and honestly I think the name suits her, so,,, ヾ(｡﹏｡)ﾉﾞ

Cassandra (Cassy) (Surname TBD...)

Early twenties though she never grew out of her teen emo-goth phase so she still dresses like a 15 year old. Short cropped, layered reddish-brown hair with frosted tips or died some vibrant color. Most likely pink. Almost always wearing eyeliner/shadow and lipstick but that’s about it. Likes dark nail polish. Has 3 piercings in her left ear, two on her right. A beauty mark under her right eye.

She’s somewhere between wanting to be girly and honestly not giving a shit.

Personality wise, she struggles with her mental health- Intrusive thoughts, self-esteem issues, social anxiety which is juxtaposed by the desire to be surrounded by people. She gets lonely easily and when she’s alone she tends to overthink.

She was a weird little girl. Spent her childhood running through the woods and creek in her backyard like a feral gremlin child, collecting anything interesting from cool rocks to small bones. She thought the woods were haunted but instead of deter her, it only made her more interested and thought up creepy stories to entertain herself.

Being the weird forest gremlin, she was ostracized by the other kids. Some would show interest but would often be deterred by declarations like “I’m a WENDIGO trapped in a girl’s body. I haven’t had a good spleen in a while.”  and “Wanna see my fairy bone collection?” so she was known around the playground as the local cryptid. The moniker followed her through middle school and she began to roll with it. Words hurt though. She used it as both a weapon and shield, declaring her weirdness straight up to both keep people at arms length but retain some sense of pride over it. Normal people are boring, after all. She simmered down a lot, growing up fairly well adjusted other than the damage bullying had done. She’s at a healthy amount of weird now. Her mask is comprised of a heaping amount of snark and sass, as part of her coping strategy. Once you get close to her however, she’s a lot softer. She just wants someone to spend time with. Even though her time exploring the woods was the best thing about childhood, she often wished she had a friend to explore with. Hence her wild imagination and stories she made up.

Her strong imagination is both a strength and weakness. She’s intelligent and creative, but anxiety and depression will drag her down if she lets herself overthink too much.

She made it through high school, but had to drop out of college due to her mental health. She hopes to get back and finish after taking a gap year or so to find stabilization.

She had a few friendly acquaintances in school but no one she could get close to, so as far as her sexuality is concerned, there’s still some exploring to do. She suspects she may be ace or demisexual.

(Now the interesting part!) otherwise known as (why is she in a full leg cast? I’m getting to it. (｡ˇ艸ˇ)

The kiddo was WEIRD okay. She was fascinated with the things she found in the woods, and a lot of it was bones. She loved to pretend they were fae, attributing anything weird or out of place to the fae or ghosts in general. She would see things out the corner of her eyes, hear sounds or music she was unable to find the source of. It fueled her imagination rather than creep her out. The ironic part however is that she scares easily. Especially jump scares. They ALWAYS get her! Ugh, so frustrating. But like the masochist she is, she likes the fright. She’ll still punch you in the face if you launch an attack on her. She is definitely the type to throw hands, (Fight instead of Flight) and if she’s real tired of your shit.

At some point. She gets into an accident. Very nearly crushed and almost losing her leg. It was real touch and go for a few days but she persevered and eventually recovered to the point that she really only needed the leg cast. (which she’ll be stuck with for months and months and months) But anyway.

The near death experience was enough to pierce through the veil, granting her the ability to see ghosts and other supernatural creatures. Before, she was unusual enough to only just be aware of things. The strange sounds, things in her peripheral. Now she can hardly tell the difference between the living and dead. Unless something is truly out of place, she won’t realize anything’s wrong. But, as the weird one, it’s hardly noticed outside of her usual quirkiness.

It does worry her though, she’s internally terrified she may have schizophrenia or something.

General rule of thumb is to ignore anything she actually notices. She’ll stare as if trying to decide if something is really there or if she’s truly going crazy. There may be the rare interaction if she feels like someone(thing) needs help. She can’t stand anyone being helpless. (She is both “I must save/protect this person/thing” and “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps already, bitch.”)
