#i should mention somewhere that guardwatch is not a body guard kind of job

[thephilosophah]

yeah i REFUSE to make another set of ocs and then just not have any drawings of them so i spent [normal amount of time] drawing up some portraits of them. here they all are! captioned by the thing that defines them the most <3

these guys, and their setting, and their basic plot, all came to me in a dream!

their story keeps hitting them with the one-two so none of them have a good time lmaooo

in order:

Ennet is a lace-maker who is so good at his craft that he's considered a genuine master at it by many, including his favorite customer Stef.

Stef is a richboy who basically can't learn enough about everything he wants to know soon enough. his current study is agricultural biology. his favorite craftsman is Ennet and his most beloved is Therse'a. it is generally assumed that Stef and Therse'a are to be married.

Therse'a is by many definitions the main character, but not the POV character. she's the princess whose family suffers a great unfortunate incident and we basically never see her at her baseline for the entire length of the story. for the first chapter she haunts the narrative and for the rest of it she is haunted.

Tenittu was the personal guard of Therse'a until her recent discharge, which greatly distressed both of them and anyone who knew them. guardwork was Tenittu's dream job and having lost it she has no idea what to do from now on. she considers herself to not have any other talents and she's right. hers is the POV we follow the most.

Teliv is a watchguard and often serves as Stef's or Therse'a's personal guard. he's very gifted in the field, with sharp eyes and a good memory for voices. we follow his POV quite a few times.

their setting is post-apocalyptic closed city. there are other cities, but leaving your own to travel to another is considered dangerous.
