#oc: Katarina Koser

[katriniac]

Thanks for pointing me towards a glorious new picrew, @yarnnerdally ! I LOVE IT!!!! 😍

Of COURSE I had to create one for a few of my OCs, myself, and my D&D character. 😉

To help keep this from becoming a giant thread on anyone's dash, I'll put my images under the cut:

First up is my OC Katarina Koser. She gets two because she has a Succubus form with horns, wings, and tail. Too bad the picrew didn't have bat wings as an option. Most often used in Ikemen Vampire stories.

The next four, clockwise from top left:

Athelrin "Rin" Daneely - Fae shape-shifter, but prefers to take human female form the most often. Messanger/courier for the Court of the Fae.

Kirvahilshtok "Vahil" Stemward - Space Elf (no, not a Vulcan! Lol), personal assistant extraordinaire.

Sylbur Moreno - No-nonsense warrior, also happens to be a princess. Has latent unknown mutant powers.

Kathryn Aquaneaux - Knight or Security Specialist, depending on the setting/technology timeline. Most often used in Midnight Cinderella and Ikemen Prince stories.

The next four, clockwise from top left:

Miss Katie Kelly - Librarian by day, erotica novelist by night. Most often used in Ikemen Revolution stories (with Blanc).

Ember - (my D&D character) Earth Genasi Cleric. Amber resin for hair, Pipestone for skin. Simply glad to be out of the house/temple.

Noema Esbizi - Bored Genius. Also a mutant with ability to bend light, depending on the setting/story.

Perdita Weist - Vampire, museum curator (also the founder, shh that's not commonly known).

The last four, clockwise from top left:

Alyce Gardner - She can find fun no matter where she is, whether she's working on the farm or forced to stay in the palace. Most often used in Midnight Cinderella and Ikemen Prince stories.

Leta Bauer - Retired. Tired. Lonely. And occasionally horny. Extremely relatable.

Me, the mun. I'm quite happy with how this one turned out! Chubby face and purple hair. 😍 Pretty awesome to find a picrew that has options to make it look like ME. 🥰

Yokeena Axiom - Her background depends on the story setting. My favorite is from the game system Rune Punk: planet of Scatterpoint, where DNA is warped by the intense cosmic energy, and individuals are burdened with cruel curses as a result. Yokeena's curse is related to her artistic talent.

Tagging anyone who wants to have some fun with picrew: @rosyangel95 @briars7 @bestbryn @lyds323 @xxsycamore

So I found this amazing picrew and it needs so much love??? Like, I can't speak for the amount of POC representation, but I feel like it's much more inclusive than a lot I've seen. There's the option for a character to have a bindi, hijab, turbans, Star of David necklaces, cross necklaces, and the HAIR options! Also disability inclusivity with the option for adding hearing aids and a wheel chair?? I'm in love and I'm going to make so many of my OCs in this. OH AND THE BODIES! Fat bodies! Bodies that aren't just thin. And faces that have double chins. And clothes that fit them!

Djarn really needs so much credit for this maker. I'm gonna see if I can't find a place they post regularly and tag it/link it once I find it here!

Edit: apparently their twit is djarn_ but I haven't found a working link to their account. So. T.T

This is what I imagine more or less most of my self-inserts look like. :)

I'll tag people just to get this going, but no one is obligated to do it ofc!

Again, another video that would make my OC Katarina Koser go bonkers with joy: carding, spinning, weaving wool yarn

Dude, she'd be SO STOKED that this sort of information is on the internet. (She'd be amazed the internet exists, first of all.) And the fact that young people are excited about textiles and fiber arts enough to make videos about it? She'd be jumping for joy! 😍

That's like, her life's mission!

Watching this video and listening to the artist's passion makes my OC Katarina Koser (a stitch witch) SO HAPPY.

Most of these figures don't exist anywhere except in my imagination.

Many are shipped with the canon LIs in the games, a couple shipped with NPCs. Some are stand-alone just for the heck of it. One or two were created to help me practice writing the game LIs.

A few appear in fanfics, even fewer are in RP stories.

But I love them all.

IkeVamp OC Bio

Meet Katarina - Half human, half succubus.

All you see is a gorgeous woman with a big ol' tote bag of yarn and knitting needles. The horns and wings? She keeps those invisible. She decided to come back in time with le Comte and leave the 1980s because she couldn't stand all the synthetic fabric (No, really! That's the real reason! I promise it makes sense, LOL 😅)

Name: Katarina Koser

Gender: female

Race/Birthplace/Planet: Human female with Succubus bloodline, Hungary (ancestral home in Kiskunsagi Forest), Earth, 1890s

Current Home: Northern Italy, 1980s (but then she travels back in time with le Comte to 1890s Paris!)

Age (and how long does your race usually live?): 80-ish now. Lifespan varies. Because of her succubus lineage, the females of her family live much longer than humans, and therefore age more slowly. But they are not immortal. Their appearance will depend on the volume of life-force they recently absorbed. Some can retain the look of a young adult their entire life if they regularly take in adequate energy. They can always de-age from any elderly appearance if enough life-force is consumed, but they can never look younger than when puberty first hit them.

Build: voluptuous hourglass

Height: 5’8"

Hair: Deep reddish-mahogany. Long to mid-back, with slight wave/curl.

Eyes: Gray

Most Treasured Possessions: Thimble used by her grandmother, red headscarf with embroidery done by all her relatives.

Family: Two aunts, a sister, many cousins. Probably has male relatives but knows nothing of their existence.

Friend: Her cousin Lucia in Italy/Austria/Slovenia

Romantic Relationship History: In a rebellious streak at 17 eloped with her sweetheart Rolf. A mistake at that age, but she was revolting against the matriarchal rule and the anti-male mentality of the family. Divorced him two years later. Only dallies with men now when she’s feeling the urge for sex. Has come to accept that falling in love will only result in grief since she will outlive any man she chooses to stay with. Besides, she doesn't really need or want a partner; independence suits her globe-trotting lifestyle. (See *Deepest Secret* below)

Education/Training: communally raised so her basics were taught in an unorthodox manner, but as she traveled to more developed countries she was able to supplement/improve her education. Has a Masters of Fine Arts (just don’t ask to see what decade her degree was issued! LOL)

Things They’ve Done: Documented hundreds of diagrams/patterns/instructions for weaving/knitting/crocheting/embroidery techniques which had previously only been passed down through generations through oral tradition. Traveled to almost every country in Europe and South America, plus several key places in the Mediterranean, India, and North America. All for the sake of collecting artifacts, stories, and samples of the oldest thread-work. Once used her powers of charm to get unprecedented access to the 70-meter-long historial Bayeux Tapestry in a French museum.

Goals They Have: Preserve fiber craft traditions before they are lost.

What Motivates Them: Finding alternative ways of collecting/storing life-force without resorting to the traditional method of seduction and sex. And then somehow bringing that method to her clan and other succubi. So far she has developed a method that involves collecting and binding extra life force into plaits or knots to be used like batteries.

Favorite Entertainment (music, books, pastimes, etc.) : traditional European and Slavic folk music, music you can dance to. Sometimes has classical music records playing in the background while she knits. Doesn't watch much TV or film. Books are usually lace/knitting diagrams or research for weaving techniques. Reads some poetry. Loves to look through photo albums from world travels.

Favorite Food/Beverage: Enjoys cooking with lots of garlic and butter. Loves to eat berries and stone fruits of any kind, but raspberries and apricots are her favorites. Enjoys red licorice. Though she prefers cooking to baking, she is very proud of how her Paska bread and Sachertorte usually turn out perfect.

Personality: Confident, thoughtful listener, creative problem-solver, thinks outside the box, can appreciate the time/thought/skill that went into any effort (enthusiastically applauds her colleagues’ projects regardless of the size/scope), feminine/graceful, talks with her hands, cosmopolitan/worldly, unintentionally sensual in her mannerisms (unless she is deliberately mindful of maintaining a closed-off vibe), patient, is more likely to dive into deep discussions of how someone arrived at a decision/idea rather than be interested in the final decision itself, loves to travel, likes to help (is a bit of a “fixer”), can watch birds and spiders for hours at a time, can be a bit of a skeptic if a man begins “mansplaining”.

Note: At first glance she may appear kind and gregarious, but if watched closely over time you will see that she rarely offers any personal or private opinions/stories. She is friendly, but she doesn’t make friends. Katarina can be very invested in a person without letting that person get too close. This is an unconscious habit she has perfected over the decades while needing to move on from a place before they are suspicious of her not aging.

Deepest Secrets: Because Katarina rarely uses her power of seduction, she is out of practice. While she can usually keep it from seeping out, there is no way to put a cap on it 100%. Which means sometimes she will get VERY good service at a hotel or restaurant without even trying to charm them. The comedy starts when she actually DOES attempt to use her power for non-sexual purposes, such as getting through International check points quickly or convincing a cop to waive a parking ticket. In those instances, her inexperience often results in TOO MUCH power being used and the men throwing themselves at her or escaping with embarrassment at their sudden and unexplained erection (both predicaments are counter-productive to her reason for charming them in the first place!). Though she prefers to collect and absorb life-force that has been cast-off rather than feed off of a living human, she can perform seduction well and gets the job done quickly. However, this means she doesn’t have much experience enjoying sex inside the parameters of an established relationship. To elaborate even further: Katarina can’t recall the last time she was ever pampered or treated like a queen in bed. She is usually the one in control; just once it would be nice to feel treasured, to lie back and enjoy sex without having it feel like work. But that would mean having a lover she has a trusting connection with. She can’t have a normal relationship because she will outlive them. …Unless she finds someone worth giving up her immortality for. She doesn’t really believe there’s anyone out there like that. But that doesn’t stop her from wishing and fantasizing.
