Saw your magma doodles,

NEW OCS!?!? LORE!?!?? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

(That is, if there is any or any that you would be willing to share)

HEHE YEAH WE GOT SOME NEW ONES AND YEAH THEY GOT SOME LORE AND I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE IT FHDJDJDLDKDJJDKDKD Granted, they’re still very new so some of this could be subject to change but hey

First, Yuki is an Indian Star Tortoise yokai who grew up in a family of at least three others. Unfortunately for him, he was often the scapegoat of his family and labeled a problem child. This was not helped by the fact that Yuki was pretty reckless and had trouble controlling his anger. He’s just a passionate boy, but it didn’t do him any good in his family dynamic. After a particularly heated argument, Yuki got kicked out and is now living wherever he can find.

That is until he stumbled across a pocket dimension in the hidden city. He didn’t see much inside, that is until he came across some guy in there, unconscious and shackled to the ground. Yuki, using something he had found right outside of the dimension, free him and drags him out of the dimension.

This new guy, a spinosaurus yokai who we’ll refer to as Lazarus (the name might be sticking for good but hard to say) starts to come to as he realizes what has happened. He appreciates being freed, but he has absolutely no clue how Yuki managed to do it. The pocket dimension requires some sort of energy source to sustain itself and will fight to keep one in it at all times. **That’s how Lazarus got trapped there in the first place.** But now that they both made it out, and with no energy source to sustain it, the dimension would collapse in on itself and eventually rip a whole in reality (which would be bad).

The two decide to team up in order to find something to sustain the dimension as quickly as possible before chaos ensues. They get up to wacky hijinks and wholesome heart to hearts. Idk exactly what but it’s gooooooood. There’s bonding ^^

** oh and Lazarus got trapped in there because he had some “friends” who dragged him out to explore and abandoned him there so now he’s a bit jaded, insecure, and riddled with trust issues :D

Here’s another picture of Yuki ^^ he’s my baby

Oh and I feel like this would be good for you to know as well @plumsodapop

Jay Bird is just one of those OCs that keeps sticking. Adjusting her backstory a bit too. Nothing is set in stone when creating characters.

[Image description: a digital colored drawing of an elderly tortle character in the style of an indian star tortoise and a white, elderly halfing with grey shoulder length hair in a button up shirt, suspenders, and brown pants. They are standing next to each other with the halfling holding onto the tortle's arm. The halfling wears a ring on his left hand. End ID]

might be resurrecting Dagbert Bumblebrook the tortle necromancy wizard (it's his retirement hobby) for a different campaign, so here's him and his halfling husband, Norver the Accountant
