#i forgot to peel them

oh boy,,, so a nutcracker oc, huh 🥲 more below!

based off the past drawing of the scooped beast! (the masked one is unrelated btw) i've made a bit of plot for this lil guy, it's name is octo! it's a nutcracker specimen that somehow grew up in the wild (factory, maybe on assurance?) unlike a lab and was rescued by a crew and grew attached to them

so, they start saving scrap to give it new shells as it grows (which is quite quick for how big it gets to fit in a nutcracker animatronic). they feed it meats of snare fleas and loot bugs if they come across any, though it stays at the ship so it's not in any danger. all is good with the crew, they witness the baby grow and even teach it some tricks and words!

..until the last day of quota, when they, just like every other crew working for The Company, fail to get enough scrap to sell. they know they're doomed, so on their last day before they're fired they leave octo on one of the later moons (probably dine) and say goodbye, giving it a chance at life, though it doesn't fully understand why they left it behind :[

after that, i'm not sure on the rest of the details if it grows to somehow attain a nutcracker vessel or continue to live as a scurrying lil creature, hiding behind scrap and avoiding most monsters. maybe it'll have a mentor who takes it under its wing and teaches it how to survive? like a jester or another nutcracker, though i'm not sure how they'd react to such a vulnerable thing.

when i think of the nutcracker fleshy creatures i can't help but think of octopi cause of the tendrils, hence the name octo xp i like to think the nutcrackers are quite intelligent like irl octopi though, and flexible, so for a wild nutcracker creature it's probably more prone to hide than hunt, akin to a hermit crab, whereas other nutcrackers are raised to hunt due to human influence. (coughwildwarandapocalypselorecough)

anyways, if you read this far then thanks! i'm not particularly good at making fleshed out and detailed ocs like a lot of talented people here are but god looking at them all made me want to adopt my own <3

oh and here's a variant for shits and giggles based on a friends drawing hdjg

Pro tip: if you're spending prolonged periods of time doing physically-demanding jobs where you need to move around a fair bit, lift heavy things, and overall put a lot of pressure on your muscles, do NOT be stupid like me and remember to eat 👍

Currently working on my artfight profile, im mostly going to upload my own OCs but I saw that AU versions of pre existing characters were allowed as well. Would anyone here want me to add my selkie silver and malleus designs to my profile?

HEYYYYYY HOW DOES REDE WEAR HIS GLASSES IF HE HAS NO EARS JSNDBJSKSKWKSAK😭😭

DOES HE GLUE THEM ON WITH SUPERGLUE?

I see it in your eyes rede... It was difficult...😔😞

He balances them on his face so so good so good that they never fall off. his mind is a never ending complex of calculations and he calculates the exact way to position his head at all times so that the glasses never drop 🧠

that's a lie. Realistically they're actually taped. So, you're close with the glue, honestly! He's meant to be one of the smartest of the group, you'd think he'd try glue considering it'd be a lot less likely to fall off, and yet.......

it's truly a travesty i'm single because like yeah maybe i have intense mental health issues and trauma, and little to offer apart from info-dumps on very specific subject but at least i can peel a mean orange or tangerine
