#friend's oc: valerian thundercloud

[stormbreaker101]

i love it when good-intentioned young wizards end up unwittingly devoting themselves to a destructive paramilitary that seeks to crush magical diversity for the sake of "purifying" magic.

Drew this for @valerian-thundercloud, because his lad is very 👍 and I like yes-and'ing ocs

okay here it is: MY WIZ OC MASTERPOST *one person clapping from the back of the room noises*

i have a bunch and i never talk about them ever so hopefully this motivates me to actually yap (continued under the cut!)

Valerian Thundercloud (he/him)

(Pre-Azteca on left, current on right)

Age: 25 (at the time of Selenopolis/post-Wallaru/pre-Arc 5)

School: Death

Voice claim: Lilac Cookie

Birthplace: Sardonyx, Khrysalis

Story: Originally from a lineage of diviners known for their defense contract work, yet was never able to grasp Storm magic. Sent to WC around age 6, but didn't start at Ravenwood until ~12/13 (and doesn't remember much--if anything--of his life before then). Decided to try out Necromancy thru Malorn, and it instantly clicked. He's been running with it ever since. Azteca was the turning point for his life, being such a traumatizing event in his mind that he felt even MORE dread going forward. Embraced shadow a little too hard and now has left a permanent physical change on his body/eyes. Being public enemy #1 in Novus also really affected him, and is now extremely cautious with who he interacts with (loooots of lingering paranoia). Keeps those who he was close with (the Selenopolis seven) VERY close. Like suffocatingly close. He can't lose again.

Fun Facts: Has a pet Shadow Phoenix named Roxie that is his bestest friend and worst enemy because she PECKS AT HIS FACE. Picks up on Spiralian languages pretty quickly, and can speak a decent amount of Mantis tongue. His favorite spell to use is Winged Sorrow. Guilty of still using blade/blade/berserk/AOE in every fight. Rarely takes on a Shadow form (Sentinel/Shrike abomination of a fusion) because he tends to lose control of it, and cannot polymorph back into himself. I ship him w/ Dyvim because he is so down bad for the mouse its INSANE

Lila Hexcaster (she/they)

Age: 24

School: Death

Birthplace: Chelsea Court, Marleybone

Voice claim: Luna Lovegood

Story: The Death school's resident fashionista! Enrolled in Ravenwood a little after Valerian did, and when they met in class, they instantly hit it off. She's like a sister to him. They enjoy Necromancy, sure, but her true passion is robe design. They love EGL/variations of Kei fashion (so you know she lost their mind when the Fanciful Fairy Kei pack hit the market) and are always looking for people to make custom robes for. A very positive ray of sunshine that also loves death magic.

Fun Facts: She's spent 40k crowns trying to get the gothic fairy kei gear and doesn't regret a single thing. She's HORRIBLE with budgeting but she doesn't really care. Her favorite spell is Animate, because she could always use extra help with styling her outfits. Would sell her arm for a Tenochti-Flan at any given moment.

Chione (she/her/it/they)

Age: Indeterminate (physically 35)

School: Ice/Moon

Birthplace: Sunless Shrine/River of Frozen Tears, Polaris

Voice claim: Lisa Hannigan

Story: A part of the Auroracle, she developed a desire to experience the Spiral the way a regular entity would. When discussing this with the hivemind, it was allowed the opportunity to take on a humanoid form, but at the cost of one of her senses. With that, she chose her sight. She is fully blind, but is still able to perceive the world with sensing the auras of others. Rarely fights, but when they do, its always a VERY heavy hit. Still part of the Auroracle hivemind, but also has her own personality. Always very soft-spoken and calm. Has a pet polar bear named Lumi.

Fun Facts: GIRL KISSERRRRRR!!! she kinda just floats around and rarely has her feet touch the ground. Loves spending time in cold environments, as it reminds them of home. Never goes anywhere without Lumi.

Llewyn Woodsprinter (he/him)

Age: 27

School: N/A (if he had to choose, Fire)

Birthplace: Last Wood, Khrysalis

Voice claim: Deckard

Story: A clumsy Burrower that resides in the Last Wood. He's an apprentice blacksmith that forges the armor and weapons the knights use, learning under his father. He, however, doesn't wish to be a blacksmith for the rest of his life. He wants more than anything to fight the Umbra Legion on the front lines and contribute to the cause, but is too clumsy to wield a sword. For now, he simply watches from the safety of Peppergrass Glen, yet sneaks off after dark to practice his swordfighting skills without his father knowing.

Fun Facts: Loves to make golden jewelry in his free time, and sells them as a little side job. Has a specific tree he loves to practice his swordfighting on. Wears reading glasses sometimes (though he does need glasses all the time). Hasn't been outside the Last Wood since he was little.

And thats all of em! Ill make a seperate post for the OCs that are specific to the luminescent army au at a later date, but these are the ones id literally do anything to yap abt :3333 YAYYYYYYYY

i really enjoy the w101 ost and tend to go on tangents abt what they evoke in my brain :)

interests: wizard101 (heavy fixation rn), hamilton, smiling friends, portal, half-life (and valve games in general), fears to fathom series, house md, scott pilgrim, goth subculture + music, and more things! this is mostly a wizard101 centric blog tho :)

favorite worlds: khrysalis, azteca, novus, empyrea (specifically pt 2), mirage, and lemuria

favorite characters: dyvim whitehart (the loml), rottingham weiler, maxine rockhoppiere, manticore, dasein, judge veg, moo bu, captain pork, beans, the bat, qismah shasa, morganthe, heroes of lemuria, zaltanna the mirrormask, zarozinia the deathsong, a million others i cant list

my OCs + concepts:

(posts regarding these OCs and original concepts will be tagged #luminescent army for organization purposes!)

Valerian ThunderCloud (he/him): Main, Necromancer hailing from Sardonyx, Khrysalis. Early 20s. Graduate of Ravenwood, proud Shadow Phoenix pet owner, stubborn asshole who is working for the Council of Light's Luminescent Army post-grad.

Lila DuskOmen (she/her): Necromancer that also dabbles in theurgy, Valerian's close friend. Wizard City-born, lives in Marleybone post-grad. 25. Fashion designer of various gothic/EGL style robes. The silly that balances out Valerian's seriousness.

Council Agent Lakewood (he/him): Valerian's mentor and boss (and sometimes could be seen as a handler). Diviner from Khrysalis. Mid to late 40s. Doubles as a Shadowmancy teacher in Ravenwood for attack- and defense-based schools, to pick out certain students to train for the Luminescent Army's Shrike Program (LASP). Not to be trusted.

Council Agent Reese (he/him): Lakewood's coworker and close ally. Late 30s/early 40s. Conjurer. Taciturn notetaker that has his own agenda. No true alliances, but assists Lakewood in the LASP.

Luminescent Army: Council of Light's paramilitary force. After the events of Khrysalis and furthered by the events of Empyrea Pt 2, Ambrose decided to assemble graduates of Ravenwood to defend the realms associated with the CoL, although there are some corrupt personal interests and sneaky, unethical utilizations of Shadow Shrikes and Sentinels going on behind the scenes...

Luminescent Army AU Info:

i tend to post them in long reblogs so you can find more info about the idea itself here (these will be updated as I Yap)!
