may i have a fun fact about lisaph?
her species is wildly different from ours in terms of both biology and lifestyle! not only does the red hellcat (hexelis sicarus) have three common sex morphs instead of two, they also don't really have "childhoods" in the way that we do.
if childhood is defined as the period of time during which a human is dependent on their parents, then hellcats are never children! they are born as nymphs, which start out looking much like a clouded leopard or margay (plus some extra limbs). they need no parenting, because as soon as these kittybugs are born they are ready to fight, flee, and kill their own prey! nymphs will spend their early years up in the trees, hunting small arboreal prey. meanwhile, the adults live more on the ground, hunting a variety of both small and large terrestrial prey. this way, the adults and the nymphs don't directly compete with each other for resources.
during nymphhood, the hellcats will form strong social bonds with a few other nymphs and learn how to use teamwork. when they grow into their adult forms, these duos or trios of youngsters will either join an existing adult clan, or start their own with some other new adults.
Lisaph had her home range destroyed when she was a very young nymph, and she was the only nymph to make it out (as far as she knows). so, while she never relied on her older companion Geneph to provide for her, because nymphs are perfectly capable of hunting and scavenging for themselves, she did especially cling to him because her social needs were not being met by having other nymphs to bond with. this kind of pair bond is very unorthodox, as fully-metamorphosized adults usually don't interact with nymphs, but something about both being endlings really saw them lean on each other. Lisaph calls Geneph her older brother, but he doesn't quite agree with that term as that sort of familial bond doesn't exist in their culture. a more appropriate label in his mind would be mentor and later, partner in crime.
as a reward for sitting through that spiel, here are the first concept images i ever drew of Lisaph and Geneph!

as you can see, they've changed a lot over the few couple years they've bounced around my head.

hexelis sicarus, or the red hellcat, is a species of carnivorous hexapod that superficially resemble cats. they are not, however, closely related to tetrapod felids.
species in the hexelidae family show sexual morphism on a triple bell curve, rather than a double as most tetrapod mammals. that is to say, they display three common sex morphs that each serve an evolutionary purpose. this individual, Lyn Lisaph, represents the non-reproductive third sex known as amale or the ‘hunter’ morph. this morph is characterized by hypertrophied (but not laterally compressed) incisor and canine teeth, as well as a more gracile body with longer limbs.

Favorite oc you have? And for any reason in particular?
oh man, it changes! i think in terms of pure design and deranged girlbossery it would still have to be Lisaph, the six-legged hellcat.

Who are your five favorite OCs and you're not allowed to cheat and say "I love them all" you gotta pick FIVE
(And explain why you love them most <3 )
OH NO ok not in any particular order buuuut
tyson- he’s me :) he’s my special guy. he’s so so so handsome and everyone thinks so but he’s also young and silly and just likes to Hang Out and sleep 18h a day. i love xenosmilus as an animal and i’m really proud of how beautiful i made tyson’s markings :) best sona i would win in a furry competition
Tumblr media
kali- ouuughaghghh. huge big beatiful awesome gigantic animal. emissary of the deep ocean’s unknowable whims. she will be here for decades (centuries!) after we die, living her life alone in the cold and the dark and the bleak. we are so unfathomably frightened by the very idea of the ocean’s maw, but kali goes grocery shopping there. cruel and fearsome things prowl the deep, and this is one of them. she is enlightened, brilliant even, but she is an animal at its purest and most breathtaking. it knows what pain is. it knows what empathy is. she does not care any more than the raging polar winds do. survival is triumph. to eat is to be holy.
Tumblr media
deinostygias- technically a fan character but i wuv him. flowey if he was a stupid jock. imagine being born with the memories of some other guy who had family issues and a soul but you don’t have either of those now and also that guy died 50,000 years ago and his entire species is extinct. and also you listen to linkin park and only do bench press and bicep curls (the cringe muscles) at the gym
Tumblr media
leo- also a fan character but i love the trope of a damaged teenage girl being so fuckoff powerful and full of rage. she’s determined she’s dedicated she’s trapped she’s lost she’s a god she’s afraid she’s a star she’s a child. she is the end of the world she is the skyfall she needs someone to hold her hand and tell her it wasn’t her fault. she deserves to cause so many problems and be so toxic it’s all part of the process of becoming whole again.
Tumblr media
lisaph- long baby <3 long noodle cat babygirl. she is so insane and deranged and not because she has Issues or anything she’s genuinely just a lunatic party girl. she planet hops specifically to find the best clubs in the galaxy. she is removed from her heritage but she is reconnecting. she loves the traditional parts of herself and she loves the new age parts of herself even if sometimes it’s confusing. i need to smoke a blunt w this bitch. she takes ambien before driving to work and crashes her lambo into a tree and takes a nap on the side of the road. her Creature shape and beautiful fur patterns have bewitched me

QUICK what's every one of your OCs favorite movies! Or if they don't have movies in their universe what movies would they like if they could watch them? Or would they prefer live theater
oh man theres no way i can list all of them lmao
lisaph is insane she for sure likes extremist horror like martyrs and shit.
kairoh loved everything everywhere all at once (so did i but besides the point). it reminded her a lot of her own strained relationship with her mom and her struggles with apathy and nihilism.
megantereon is a big fan of ghost in the night, for obvious reasons. he also likes beast(2022) for the same reasons.
deinostygias would say his favorite is jurassic park, but he also likes to point out everything factually incorrect about it out loud every time he watches it.
kali will watch anything. she is especially enraptured with human romance in media because it absolutely mystifies her (nonhuman aromantic queen). she thinks romantic dramas specifically are incredibly entertaining. like girl just kill him

How many ocs do you have in total?
oh GOD uh.
like, current ones? i have a few that are on maybe-permanent hiatus…
i’ll have to organize the current named characters by taxonomy in order to remember them all. by genus, it looks something like this (bolded genera are ones i made up; regular text are real animals):
machairodus: kairoh
megantereon: alex, allie
homotherium: grady, blue
xenosmilus: mach
smilodon: ana
panthera: ava, aster(kind of), memphis, tahlia
barbourofelis: donnie
eusmilus: utah
dinictis: nero
quercylurus: soren
lycaon: henley, jack, oko, cecilia, hera, helena
crocuta: afryea
homo: finley, kaiser, (aster kind of belongs here too)
hexelis: geneph, lisaph, margay, felin
arthropanthera: civen
leptonyx: kali
lagomorphus: jackie
i THINK that’s all. i think.

Do you have a content sheet about your ocs? They sound pretty cool but I've never heard of them kind of creatures
honestly im so unorganized i barely have anything coherent written down about them at all.
the closest i got to actually worldbuilding would be my sideblog @hexelidae but i’m planning on overhauling that entire thing because a lot of what i have there is outdated.
i do tend to post more oc-related content on my artblog, @sealeopardsupremacy, but none of it is particularly organized or cohesive unfortunately. i mostly just throw stuff on there when i have the time
as a rule of thumb, if they have six limbs instead of four they are a fantasy animal group called hexapods! the current members of this huge animal group are the hellcats, Lisaph and Geneph, and the sea leopards like Kali! i have concepts for other ones, such as a hexapodal dromeosaur that boasts a fully functional parietal eye to compensate for its poor binocular vision! there is also a larger species of hellcat, of which i only have one representative. his name is Civen :)
my other oc’s, like Henley, Kairoh, Megantereon, and Mach, are all based on real animals! the majority of them belong to the extinct machairodontinae sabercat subfamily! Henley and his family are the extant but endangered african wild dogs.
thank you for showing interest! it’s really encouraging to know that people like my ideas. this is motivating me to get the hexelidae blog up and running again. maybe that will be my project for the week :3

Lisaph's good at rhythm games. I dunno if they have rhythm games in that universe but if they have them she's GOOD at them
“fuck yeah, i SHRED! i like keyboard better than controller though. it makes a really nice clicking noise.”
(YOU ARE CORRECT
lisaph has gigantic eyes, crazy fast reflexes like a cat, and her middle paws are modulated for fine motor skills like humans (she will sometimes cheat and use four hands though). she also loves fighting games!
what i bet you didn’t expect is that geneph is also fantastic at video games, and the two of them regularly go head-to-head in epic dbz budokai or muse dash showdowns)
