OC-TOBER DAY 4

bweird OC-tober

4: UNDER-APPRECIATED OC

I’m actually going to make this multiple ocs! I created them, named them, made a pinterest board (last updated 2 months ago), and took zero notes, so they get to share this space. I’m developing them as I write this.

The basic concept is that they’re a bunch of people stuck in a time loop together.

The cast (so far…)

Jovina

Jovina, more than anyone, is determined to find the cause of the time-loop, desperate to get out.

Bellona - named for a Roman goddess of war

Dangerous, ruthless, and cold, Bellona’s trust is hard to win, but even she cannot stand entirely alone.

Atropos - named for one of the fates in Greek mythology

A mysterious figure, who seems to know more about the time-loop than anyone else.

Terpsichore - named for one of the muses in Greek mythology

There’s something strange about Terpsichore, something no-one can quite put their finger on.

Alodia

Kept alive by the time loop. She has died a thousand ways or more over the course of it.

i was tagged by @swanfey to do this picrew, presumably not necessarily for d&d characters but that's what you're gonna get with me lmao! only did a handful bc certain characters just didn't look right no matter what i did

from top left to right:

Finch - High Elven Tiefling Arcane Trickster Alodia - Aasimar Whispers Bard Ruya - Grave Cleric of Anubis/Inquisitive Rogue Lyrie - Half Elf Swashbuckler Rogue

finch got a full photoshop makeover bc she's currently my main character and her appearance is so whack that hardly any picrew is gonna be able to do her justice lol

[peonycats]

who is sudan’s mom?

sudan’s mom is Alodia, one of the three kingdoms to arise after the fall of the Kingdom of Kush. she was the furthest south of her sisters, and maintained somewhat cordial ties with her sister Makuria and Ethiopia. She was known as the calm and easy-going one of out the three sisters, in comparison to the more ambitious Makuria and high-strung Nobatia.

Despite this, she had a volatile relationship with her son, Sudan, and would later die because of his rise 😢

[akihatohnoofficial]

did some more oc writing btw. no cannibalism this time just grave robbing

Iuris lies dead in the ground. A god without a heart cannot live, and hers has been thoroughly destroyed. Of course, she wasn't always dead. She lived a long life, one with many titles. The Shining Star, the God of Order, Apotheosis, a corpse in the ground.

Alodia walks up to the grave, shovel in hand. She laid dead once, too. Not just once, of course. This is... which life this is, she's lost track. Perhaps she finally hit the one hundred and fifty mark. After dying twenty times, you tend to lose track of the rest.

Iuris lies dead in the ground. She was slain by a brave party of heroes, ones who wanted to see the sky. A shame, really. She thought she was doing the right thing, she would bring them all to paradise. No use mulling over the past, though. You can't do that when you're dead.

Alodia sighs and hefts the shovel, stabbing it down into the ground and planting a foot on it to push further down. Years ago, she would have had someone else do this for her. A loyal employee, or maybe another one of her clones. She doesn't have any of that anymore. She's dead, after all. Now she just has herself, the last of her magitech, and the grave she has been searching for.

Iuris lies dead in the ground. She didn't know it was inevitable. Why would she? All those stories with heroes and villains, the hero triumphs and restores the world to peace. She just didn't realize that she was not the hero.

Alodia pants with exertion, stopping as her shovel hits something. That's it. That's her. Her fated enemy, the guiding star that had guided her hatred for so long and eventually led to her downfall. She takes a moment to wipe the sweat off her brow, then gets to work unearthing her.

Iuris lies dead. She is in a casket, a form of burial rarely offered to slain gods. Her killers were kind enough to just slay her, and not devour her body like she had done to the god before her. Although most of her followers had perished and many others were in hiding for trying to help her destroy the world, the few who remained had managed to make a convincing plea for allowing her to be buried with dignity.

Alodia drags the casket to her truck, later unloading it at her base. The preparations are all completed, and as she clicks the casket open and sees her enemy's decaying face all she can do is smile. She doesn't believe in soulmates, but if she did... well, that wouldn't matter. Iuris's soul was destroyed, so an artificial one will have to do.

Sirius's eyes flicker open, a new life entering her body as her eyes adjust to Alodia's dim laboratory. She... died? She can remember dying, but everything else is gone. Who is this woman smiling at her, and why does she feel familiar? Sirius shakes her head to try and remember, but the only sensation she gets is the sound of the unfamiliar woman's voice.

"Good morning, starlight. How was your rest?"

[lingering-nomad]

I know your voice. I've heard it before.

I love Larian for not destroying my backstory headcanons. Astarion's guardian appears as his half-elven sister, Alodia. She's long dead by 1492 DR, all but forgotten in the murky horror of his enslavement. The Emperor shows him her form as a reminder of what Cazador took from him and, of course, manipulating a cherished face to get him to consume tadpoles.

[ginevrastilinski-ocs]

Fandom: Percy Jackson, love interest: Jason Grace?

Okay, don't actually have her plot during HoO but anyway! Meet...

Francesca "Frances" Alodia!

Very basic plot: demigoddess, trapped in the Lotus Casino for years, realizes what is happening thanks to Percy and escapes with him, Annabeth and Grover and joins them in their mission.

She doesn't remember her life before the Lotus Casino, if not for very basic things, like her name for example. Spoiler, she's from Camp Jupiter.

FC: Ellie Bamber

[pawzunyan]

more of our silly little guys

morrow belongs to @devilsvine

(psst. he also made most of these. i only did the last one lmao)

[estoult]

Big fan of characters who are atheists when the gods are like. Actively around very visibly influencing the world

[salad-o-malley]

I think im gonna need to Hide Tumblr from myself, Before I get a weekly streak of absuing the ask button!...Haha, I've honestly gotten curious way to curious and I know curiosity killed the cat but maybe im more of a dog? Lol, your Ocs are just all so lovely and make me wanna beg like a Victorian child in need of food. I just can't get enough of them. You're amazing at character design! And that had me wondering if you've ever considered getting into writing? From one of your newer but still old videos, you mentioned that you're oc world lives rent-free in your head, and that made me relate to you alot my world is always getting built in my head and one I started written my Ocs storys not in a lore format but more in a story way as if i was writing a book it just seemed to help me place everything together and was curious if you tried or do write storys with you're ocs while most people on here dont like reading Oc stuff if you did ever write something and shared it on here id jump to be the first to read it. (My apologies for all the asks I spend to much time on here...haha.) As an Oc ask im way to invested in learning your Ocs lore well more like world lore from that one video I mentioned earlier Id always been way to eager to know more about the complicated Oc universe so as an actual ask to not waste your time hows Seren's universe set up hes an Incubus/Succubus so that must mean his universe has some sort of hell given he's friends with Rouge (From your pinterest post I think Seren being a sore loser is hilarious.) And from your All of my god ocs plus any one who Relevent video Alodias and Celeste are the first incubus and Angel made so does that mean the god ocs are connected to Serens universe and seeing from the fact Fern and Seren play with there kids dolls and are friends and fern and her husband are hybrids? (Ferns a bunny?...and her husbands a Wolf.) it just makes me curious because that means the universe is filled with alsorts of creatures and then if the god ocs are connected to it, it just seems like a very interesting world and seems very creative and I love it! (Sorry for such a long post...I cant help but abuse the ask button, ill try my best to keep in check!)

-🪼

OH BOY OH BOY OKAY

So i’m gonna try to make this as simple as I can manage to

basicallyyyy I have different oc universes that all kind of coexist at the same time next to each other while being separate from one another

I’ve categorized them in my head kind of like this;

- god realms (not technically a universe but the gods and all the creatures in their realms know of and can interact with all the other universes)

- serenverse (unofficial name lol): basically just base level stuff, kind of just regular earth with more mystical creatures in it (like succubi/incubi, hybrids, etc) this is the universe most of my ocs kind of get automatically shuffled into if they don’t fit into the specific niche of my other universes in my brain ☝️

- fantasy universe: the universe where all the damn whimsy is. Kings, queens, princes, princesses, mystical/magical creatures are entirely the norm, it’s not like regular earth at all- it’s completely disconnected from anything like that. This is where my ocs like Sephtis, Carlin, Cassiopeia, Lunarus, Reef, Ezekiel, Pluto, Florian etc would be! This is also the universe where *my* gods are the most known, widely accepted, and worshipped!1

- Apocalypse universe: the universe that’s closest to being like our world buuut if everything went to shit because a war machine ruined it all. I made this universe specifically for Khaos and Tigre lmao

now getting into god stuff!1 my gods exist everywhere all the time in allllll the universes regardless if the people in those universes know of them or not

for example, in serenverse, the gods are mostly seen as mythology (like how we’d view the greek gods) though some people do know of/believe in them! The reason for creatures like incubi and angels existing there is because some of the ones born in the gods realms just migrated down there and reproduced annnd there ya go. the timing of that happening would’ve been like millions of years ago so it’s already kind of a norm in that society I suppose

while in apocalypse verse nooone of that “exists”it’s literally just a parallel of our world

BUT in my favorite universe, fantasy, the gods are veryyyy very real to the people there!1

this is gonna get even more confusing I apologize but here we go

each of the major gods has their own realm and creatures that they made to inhabit them-

likee

keveah - incubi/succubi

fallon - angels

keres - fire demons?1?

rosalite - cherubs

Lyrastra - literally every living thing on earth + some magical creatures on certain versions of earth

reaper - he didn’t make anything he’s literally death. though most people’s souls reside in his realm!

anywhozies all of the gods realms are like their own mini universes where they and their creations live! They’re all unique and kind of like their own little towns and cities in there.. I have pinterest boards for their realm inspo but I don’t feel like getting into ALL THAT

okay okay moving on. Specific ocs of mine were born in those realms, like rouge, and have the ability to traverse between realms and certain universes as they please because of that!

in the case of incubi and angels,, angels are never born on any version of earth! They’re always born in fallon’s realm no matter what, so there isn’t really such a thing as an angel born on earth (same goes for cherubs and fire demons.. basically any other creature that isn’t an incubus)

buuut incubi and succubi, because of their nature, are doing whatever the fuck and reproducing willy nilly wherever. So! There’s terms for incubi/succubi born in keveah’s realm versus earth- which would be

born in keveah’s realm; sin born

born on earth; earth born (self explanatory)

sin born incubi and succubi can go from the god realms to earth (whichever version) as they please but earth born incubi/succubi *can’t* because they were born on earth so they don’t have that power!1 whoopee!!2

annnd unfortunately seren happens to be earth born (he’s literally half human) so he can’t do any of the special stuff like that. Rouge just has like.. multiple clubs spanning keveah’s realm and the serenverse because I thought it would be silly lol

anyways that got terribly ramble-y and idk if it made a lot of sense but yeah!!2!? lore kind of?? uh!!! there’s definitely more to this but I need to stop rambling good god

[yellowtearose]

MY OTHER TERMINA OC (she’s a sketch bc I’m terrified of fucking up the digital drawing)

Her name is Alodia, she’s an orphan who began caring for the younger kids at the age of 10, and now that she’s 18 she wants to become the matron for the orphanage she grew up in so she can continue keeping her adoptive siblings safe

[hexusproductions]

Smaugust 2022, Day 27 - Petit Four

Characters: Alodia, Quinlan

Prompt list: Found here

Petit Four - Bite-sized for convenience. A single tray contains a large selection, suiting a party as much as a single individual who wants to try a bit of everything.

“Are you alright down there, Quin?”

Quinlan gave a long, affirmative grunt. It was slightly less believable considering they were lying on the floor, an arm resting across their eyes and a medium-sized mammal resting on their stomach. Alodia peered down from where she was sitting on Quinlan’s bed, having been reading a book until she’d spotted her best friend lie down on the floor.

“Tired?” She questioned. From underneath their arm, Quinlan nodded.

“Lil bit.” They mumbled. Alodia put her book down, but remained silent. When something was wrong, it usually took a little longer for Quinlan to put their thoughts together. “I’m a bit stressed out. And…I’m stuck under Mercury.” With their other hand, Quinlan pointed to the animal on their stomach. The Galarian Linoone huffed and squirmed, trying unsuccessfully to lick his trainer’s face. Alodia stifled an amused snort at the display, and crawled and crawled off of Quinlan’s bed. Their bedroom assigned little space to storage, and what shelves there were contained more visual-audio equipment than books. Their computer was set up on a desk to one side; in the swivel chair parked there sat Alodia’s own partner pokemon Dustox, wings folded around itself. It was causing significantly less mischief than Quinlan’s partner.

“Do you want me to go? Or…save you?” Alodia crouched down, reaching to scratch Mercury behind the ears. He butted his head into her hands, but he didn’t seem willing to leave Quinlan.

“No, it’s okay.” Quinlan lifted their arm. They sighed, a deep if shaky breath. “I’ll be fine in a minute. I’m sorry.”

“That’s okay, Quin.” Alodia assured them. The reassurance was gentle, but genuine; she had never been bothered by Quinlan feeling under the weather. She assumed they felt guilty about how regularly it could occur. “Come on buddy.” Alodia tried to scoop Mercury off of Quinlan’s stomach, but he growled and wiggled out of her grip, digging his claws tighter into Quinlan’s sweater. Alodia frowned and put her hands on her hips. He was refusing to find somewhere else to sit.

“Ouch, ouch.” Quinlan winced, lightly grasping Mercury’s paws in an attempt to unhook them.

“Does he do this often?”

“He’s a cuddly boy. He only gets this bad when I’m not feeling well.” Quinlan scratched into Mercury’s wiry fur, avoiding another attempt to lick their face. Realisation dawned on Alodia, watching Mercury hug onto his trainer and refuse to move.

“I think he’s protective of you.” Alodia remarked. At this, Quinlan frowned at Mercury. The look was more contemplative than disagreeing. Finally, Quinlan started to sit up, causing the pokemon to give a disgruntled yip and slip into their lap.

“I’m alright.” Quinlan assured him. Mercury jumped back up at first, but he eventually climbed off of Quinlan onto the carpet. “Thank you, I feel much better now.” Mercury stared at Quinlan for a moment, then huffed and trotted over to Alodia, claiming the scritches she had offered earlier. She conceded, but she was similarly watching Quinlan. They sighed again, rubbing their face.

“Are you alright?” She asked. Quinlan sat there, a slump to their shoulders, but they nonetheless nodded.

“Yeah. I think he helped. Uh, both of you did, of course. I didn’t just mean him.” Quinlan grimaced at themself for their own clunky phrasing before standing up. “Want some dinner?”

“Sure.” Alodia smiled and stood up. She followed Quinlan out of the room. Mercury followed after them both, weaving between their feet.

[acealistair]

for Alodia and Cosette

alone: How does your OC deal with loneliness? Have they ever been completely alone before? How do they act when there's no one around to see them?

bound: Has your OC ever been imprisoned or captured? What happened? How did they get out? Did the experience leave any scars?

desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

mask: Does your OC wear a mask, literally or figuratively? What goes on beneath it? Is there anyone in their life who gets to see who they are under the mask?

monster: Is your OC monstrous in any way? Is there something that makes them monstrous? Are they aware of their own monstrosity? Do they accept it or reject it?

This got pretty long of course haha so full thing under the cut!

Cosette

alone: I'm not sure Cosette has actually ever been totally alone for an extended period of time (more than like, a single day), and I don't think she'd handle it very well as she is a very social person. When she is alone for multiple hours, it's likely because she's totally engrossed in something she is studying/reading.

bound: Yes lol, first by the nautiloid, then by Priestess Gut because at that point she was still painfully naive and wanted to trust her. 😆 We all know what happened with the nautiloid, and for the Priestess thing she definitely had to be rescued because she had no idea what to do. As for her personal reactions to these, I think the nautiloid definitely scared her but ultimately didn't have much affect on her character growth. Gut, on the other hand, had impact and actually shook her more because it was a direct result of her trusting someone she shouldn't have.

I do also have a headcanon that she gets kidnapped by her patron post-canon (on her wedding day, even lmao) because of fey contract shenanigans, which results in the old gang banding together to go save her. I don't think she's completely helpless while captive given the character growth she has gone through at that point, but it's mostly in the form of avoiding digging her hole deeper with the fey via social maneuvering while waiting for the squad to bust her out lol. This ends up leading to her warlock pact getting annulled and she becomes a proper wizard (probably with the Fey-Touched feat haha).

desire: Cosette doesn't have a super concrete goal, but generally wants to learn everything she possibly can, including knowledge deemed "forbidden." Definitely suffers from a case of "rip to those guys but i'm different" in regards to utilizing forbidden knowledge to help people. She does not shy away from expressing her desire and eagerness in the face of such knowledge, even with others around. Cosette would do some questionable things to gain knowledge, but she does draw the line at other people getting hurt in her pursuit.

mask: Well, originally Cosette was an Orlesian Dragon Age OC so she would've worn a mask then! But in her current iteration, no, she doesn't wear any masks, literally or metaphorically (unless she's attending a masquerade of course). The only time she's ever really hidden parts of herself was when she first became a warlock and was hiding the truth from the majority of her family (mostly her parents), who she knew would disapprove and not understand. Her older brother Remy was the only one she told the truth to.

monster: Ahh this is such a good question for Cosette. At first, no, she doesn't consider herself a monster in any capacity, even as she's gaining fucked up powers both via her pact and the tadpoles... until Act 3, when the 'quencies hit her hard and she "evolves" against her will! Her physical features becoming marred like that is a huge wake-up call for her and she deeply regrets fucking around and finding out, because now people are scared of her when they see her. It's also interesting because she never judges people by their looks - she was the first to comfort Wyll about his physical transformation, was more than happy to trust Omeluum and the Emperor (until it made her evolve), etc. - yet is utterly distraught when she becomes physically "monstrous." It takes both some comfort and call-outs from her friends for her to come to terms with it and it marks a huge step in her character development.

Alodia

alone: Alodia is actually alone a vast majority of the time and doesn't mind it. She's been on her own since she left the temple that raised her as a young teenager, and even those she considers friends she only meets with for jobs. She's probably my only character who genuinely doesn't need people. Does she have a ton of social issues? Yes. But not because of any loneliness. When no one is around, Alodia doesn't act much differently; if anything, she is even more impulsive and prone to committing crimes because there's no one around to hold her back.

bound: You could potentially consider Alodia's time at the temple to be imprisonment because they didn't want her to leave, but she was able to escape fairly easily and they kind of just gave up on trying to contain her (the clergy there must have been so excited to be tasked with raising a child of their god, but she just turned out soooo differently than they probably envisioned -- not dignified or serious at all). She's definitely been to jail before, and in fact probably occasionally gets caught on purpose for the amusement of it all. She escapes by charming and/or scaring the shit out of the guards lol

desire: Literally all Alodia wants is to have fun and eat gemstones. 😂 I created her with no intention to have much character development, since she's for episodic oneshots for when we can't play our main campaign. She's very open about her desires unless she thinks doing so will prevent her from obtaining them!

mask: Nope, not really! Sometimes she will put on an act/disguise for a job and therefore mask as a different persona, but it only lasts until she gets what she wants or combat breaks out.

monster: Oh yes, she's quite violent and loves scaring and hurting people because it amuses her. She's also mechanically a fallen aasimar so she looks pretty spooky/monstrous when her wings are out. She's fully aware of all of this and loves it; she is driven solely by her impulses for seeking entertainment and gems to eat.

[nieonova]

A gift for a friend! I honestly liked how this one turned out, I wanna challenge myself by doing difficult poses and backgrounds.

Although, it's still a bit off. But practice makes perfect! 

[akihatohnoofficial]

some more oc thoughts

thinking about sirius and alodia… alodia dressing sirius up in all sorts of different outfits and taking pictures while sirius is just standing there, confused. when she was brought back from the dead she lost most of her memories so something like a maid outfit has no associations for her. she doesn’t understand the moe factors of it

also, related to that memory loss… ehehe sirius waking up as memories from her past self seep into her mind but it’s a horrible nightmare to her… hugging alodia for comfort… so cute…

[lingering-nomad]

I made up a half-sister for Astarion as flavour for his backstory and to be the form his guardian takes and well... 😅👉👈
