Finally got around to designing this girlie! Her name is Compound, and she’s the leader of a goddess bless party of adventurers! Which is to say she is a huge suck up and absolutely unwilling to acknowledge that she and her party are completely and utterly unqualified for any of the missions they’re being thrown at

#keese draws #oc art #oc #shes ofc part of the same crew as pledge and orthodox #girlie does not know she’s a side character <3 #she has always been very loyal to the insight goddess and has worked tirelessly to get into a blessed adventurer party #she very much is willing to do whatever she’s ordered to by the goddess but outside of that she tends to be too sepf righteous to listen to #others and as such she can often come across as very bossy and vaguely threatening to those who work with her #she really likes the imagery of heroism and kindness but she truthfully mostly just likes feeling like she’s in the right #which isn’t to say she’s like super mean or that she doesn’t care abt those around her #she cares a Lot about her friends and does genuinely like helping people #but she also grew up in a very religious family and in yknow. the city that the goddess most of the continent worships lives.#so she generally values herself by how well she follows the gods ideals of heroism opposed to any personal morals #and she values other people by the same metric #and since she’s quite a bit more religious than average even within the area she’s developed a bit of a superiority complex around it #anyways fun fact her shoulderpiece is basically a soulder flask #it’s specifically for storing liquids for her token magical trinket which is a sponge #well it’s the head of one of those pill animal sponges #the body of it was grinded up and melded into her sword #so the size density and some additional bonus properties are all based around the state of the head of the sponge #the head is also attached to a little stick so it can be easily put in and taken out of the shoulder piece when needed #she usually keeps her shoulderpiece filled with warm fluids (usually broths)#this is mostly because the most common type of monsters around are slimes that the warmth and bits of grease help cut through #in theory you could do some much cooler stuff with it but the sponge itself is just yknow. a sponge. so there are some pretty hard limits #like hypothetically you could have a cool acid sword that can melt things but you’d have it for approximately 20 seconds #historically the sponge pieces were mostly used as tools in the kitchen before the relic collection program went into full swing #they Were going to be sent to be used in the palace kitchen but a wesponsmith involved with the project saw potential in them #so the sword bound to a sponge concept was born and made and left to sit around in the armory for a century or two #there’s a lot of various relics that mostly just sit around in the royal armory but over the past 50 years or so letting adventuring #academy students and graduates borrow them has become pretty standard practice
