#oc: atalanta

[liontamarin]

the next set of guys i wanna introduce for VotHa!! meet brisa, the medium's head statistician, and her infamous, long-dead brother, zenith. for the adult cast, at least, Visions is a very siblings-focused story...and much of the cast's relationships with one another revolves around how they viewed zenith, especially for brisa. Everything Is This Guy's Fault!!!!

the (under)world of this universe operates as a bureaucracy: different departments of the medium handle different aspects, means, and sometimes even interpretations, of death and the afterlife. above all of that, though, stand the recordkeepers: the head statistician and the head librarian, who compile information encompassing all departments. they're both usually hereditary positions given to the current ruler's siblings...head statistician brisa, however, is in quite a tricky position: she's currently interim head necromancer, alongside her usual duties, picking up the mess that her brother's trial and resulting political unrest has left behind...

suddenly handed the responsibility of raising a child to be an heir well-respected enough to repair the public image of the petaloudas after both zenith's execution and atalanta's parents getting assassinated, she's called for the assistance of the horsemen, four powerful siblings and medium officials who knew zenith quite well, in training atalanta. little did she know that despite their well-deserved reputations as powerhouses, they're...far more eclectic than she'd bargained for. and also just as inexperienced with children as she is. and have essentially become yet another responsibility to handle on brisa's already-full plate.

as atalanta uncovers more about the baggage zenith left behind, however, both physically and emotionally, perhaps her mentors could be of some use to her...and brisa, too, potentially, if the two ever manage to get past their rocky relationship with one another...and if brisa ever manages to get past hers with zenith. maybe as the last two survivors of the royal bloodline, they'll teach each other a few things about their family name...eventually.

More masc crown princess Atalanta???

Crown Princess Atalanta Montclair

Master swordsman. Started her sword training at age 5 and took to it well.

Also a very good chess player. Started playing in young childhood, as is expected of a noble child, and picked it up quickly.

The Kingdom is a meritocracy, and those with superior strength, intelligence, cleverness, or skill are able to easily rise above their station.

This is how Atalanta found her faithful lady-in-waiting, Noelle

Noelle was a commoner born in the slums, but through her own cleverness, has risen to the palace

She assists Atalanta by accompanying her, helping with paperwork, and advising.

She also brings up a lot of tea.

Atalanta spends most of her time doing paperwork in her office or journeying throughout the kingdom to inspect her lands

She is no figurehead

The Queen, the true matriarch of the kingdom, has ruled for over 30 years. She's tired of this and ready to turn over the crown to her only heir.

She just wants to retire to the countryside estate with the gentle King.

In this kingdom, the crown has the majority of power. The Montclairs keep the nobles in check, although no one is ever truly satisfied...

Atalanta has been extensively trained to rule since she was a toddler, and she is ready to take over her rightful place as Queen.

All she needs to do is marry.

There's always noble girls throwing themselves at her, but she's not interested to the point of her mother wondering if she may be barren.

At least, until she saw you.

A simple merchant's daughter, helping your mother as she delivers cloth to the head maid. You take some time in the garden and end up running into the Crown Princess having tea

Frightened, you turn to run, but it's too late. She calls you forth, forcing you to have an extremely awkward tea time with her.

She is fascinated by you, your beauty, your innocence. She is physically leaning across the table, straining to get closer to you.

Once it is finally over, the Crown Princess sends her lady-in-waiting to escort you back to your mother, saying "We can't have a lovely maiden like you unattended"

You're just glad to escape the palace, even with the intense blonde woman watching your every move.

The next morning, there is a letter of intent to court at your doorstep, along with a new dress in your exact measurements.

To your, and your parents, shock, the Crown Princess has invited you to the palace for tea to court you with the idea of marriage.

Oh, what have you gotten yourself into, Darling.

[hotpotrandomfics]

Clara: What is your five-year plan?

Ciel: What does that mean?

Clara, flabbergasted: Your five year plan?! Like what are you gonna do in the next five years?

Ciel, scared: What am I gonna do in the next five years?!

Clara, annoyed: You gotta have a plan!

Ciel: Clara, I don’t even know what I’m gonna do in the next FIVE HOURS!

quick demon oc thing

[se7ens-oc-heaven]

Fun tip from your local oc hoarder: if you have old ocs or concepts that never went anywhere, didn't quite grab you, just didn't quite work - re-insert them into the world as the npcs. The background character. The side cast.

And here's why, in a nutshell - it'll help your world feel more cohesive, to you and to anyone seeing it.

Yeah, sure, you can hastily slap together a bland shopkeep during a shopping scene, or slip in generic fan designs at a concert. But if you have someone Established, specific, someone who doesn't Have to reoccur, buuuuut... maybe the main characters always go into the store during so-and-so's friday shifts, or maybe you have concert scenes frequently enough that you'd start picking out the same fans who always attend for their favorite band... Adds to how natural it all feels, you know?

Does it have to be an old oc? Can't it be someone made to fit, I hear you ask? Well, sure! And obviously if you only have one or two ocs that aren't active, you'll have to anyways. But it's a two birds with one stone exercise - because now you've streamlined your process for having an established npc. You already have an idea of how that old oc looks, or talks, or acts. You may already know what setting they'd likely frequent, or even miscellany like what music they like or hobbies they have. Your generic npc doesn't have to have speaking lines or relevance - but if they needed to or you wanted them to, now they can. They'll have substance that keeps things from feeling too flat.

And idk, obviously some people don't pay much attention to things like that - but I've found that it makes a huge difference to me even when I hadn't realized it. It adds some extra depth to the world in small ways, that you may or may not ever use, but that way it's already built in. No scrambling or extra work to project traits onto some faceless character who talks to your protag about musicians for one scene.

This is also helpful for subverting "kill your darlings" a bit, for those who struggle a lot with that concept in their writing and worldbuilding - because for me, my problem tends to be that it's not that the darling is Entirely Pointless, it's just that they aren't a good fit. Killing a really good idea and banishing it to the drafts forever can suck. But learning how to Recycle the darling helps keep it in relevance, but by plugging it in to a better purpose than the original draft. That makes it easier to cut ideas out of my writing - because I can rest easy knowing I have it in reserve for its time to shine elsewhere.

I'd imagine this won't work for everyone, but I've found as I work on my hero story that it's added a lot of joy. Characters who fell to the sidelines or into obscurity simply because they weren't cut out for hero business now have time to shine in other small ways.

I have a girl who realistically will end up just being a background jogger. But she's also on a track team, and likes handmaking pottery in her spare time. I have a guy with weather powers, but he's focused pursuing being a talented violinist, with minimal active involvement in the hero business beyond happening to have heroes who are fans of his work.

Heck, one of my favorite characters is a duo of guys sharing a body that are just waiters at the local diner. One of them can reverse gravity or even practically rewind time with the snap of his finger if he so chose. These are powers that he studies endlessly for so he can hone and refine them better. But all he cares about is protecting his family and friends, so all you typically see him use his powers for is preventing glasses from being broken or saving his crush from tripping.

It makes me happy to see my kids just going about their day, filling a role in the background. Will they be more relevant? It's possible! But even if they aren't, there will always be glimpses - of the redhead jogging down the street, of someone in the middle of listening to a track from a classical violinist, of a waiter effortlessly stopping plates from being dropped in the middle of taking an order - all in the backdrop of whatever panel or scene or what have you that comes up.

It helps it all feel more like a world everyone belongs in, rather than a staged play. You know? And it's a very fulfilling feeling for me, both as author and as reader.

So yeah. Don't be afraid to recycle those old ocs. Tweak or streamline them if you need, but if you hold them even a little dear to your heart and can get them to click, I promise you won't regret it.

[secretsunbird]

Welcome Mortals!! (18+)

This secret project doesn't have an official title yet so until then I'm just going to refer to it as Sunbird (It's a nickname Icarus gets from Heracles at the beginning of the story.)

The reason the project is a secret is because I'm trying to maintain motivation! It's sort of a therapy project. My friends just aren't allowed to know about it yet.

This story follows Icarus, a young man who recently managed to escape from a tower in Crete alongside his father Daedalus. After being saved from certain death, Icarus goes on a quest to reunite with his father, rescue a friend left behind and give the Titan God of the Sun a big ol smooch on the lips.

Along the way, Icarus gets swept up in the fates of other famous characters from Greek Mythology. Seeing as he was supposed to die in the fall, him being alive results in A LOT of shenanigans. A few important characters that appear in this story include: Heracles, Medusa, Perseus, Atalanta and THESEUS!! All my homies hate Theseus…

(I know Perseus is technically Heracles's great grandpa but you'll quickly notice I've fucked up the whole timeline for this story lol so they're just half brothers here!)

This started because I've always loved Icarus's myth and I wanted him to live so...also I genuinely just wanted to draw him and Helios making out.

As of right now I'd probably describe it as an adventure/fantasy/historical/found family/ Greek mythology retelling with definite romance that comes a little later lol

[camping-with-monsters]

haven’t been drawing that much lately but here’s a WIP I started today for fun because god do I love Atalanta

[monpalace]

I’m thinking thots at work, what do we think Wild’s [Name] would be like? -🧚🏽‍♀️

i feel like she'd be the leash that stops him from literally killing himself with whatever dumbshit that comes to mind and wild's the puppy that finds something (in this case, [name]) and refuses to leave it?

maybe she's someone who works at the castle who survived the calamity and was put into something like the chamber of resurrection in hopes they'd find each other and she'd keep him from doing more dumb shit because someone realized "hey, [name] and zelda are the only ones link listens to. they're literally his impulse control. but zelda's not here and [name]'s not immortal, so we should probably put her in like, a cryo-chamber or something" and then handed her off to the sheikah and said "do something please"

or she's some sort of mysterious figure who always appears out of nowhere (and gets to places you'd least expect to find them in) and isn't there when you turn around to look at them? like, maybe she showed up on the great plateau when wild first woke up, was questioned by the king as to how she got there, she just hits him with a "don't worry 'bout it sweetheart," and sticks with wild until he's ready before literally disappearing once he lands on the ground outside the great plateau? then at some point, he finds her again, asks where she's been, and he gets hit with "i was out having fun and getting what i needed to be done," before sticking with him for a few more days and ultimately disappearing again

imagine if she just showed up in the lost woods while he was about to get the master sword and absolutely scared him with "you'll probably want to get more health for that. it'll knock a lot out of you." "how do you know?" "just know that i know and be thankful that i told you," before going off to trade with some koroks and disappearing??

or what if she's a good friend of link's (or lover. idk) that died over the course of the hundred years he's been asleep? she's a ghost like the king, but because she doesn't have to guide him and help him relearn things (the king took that upon himself), she's just there to keep him company? because either zelda or the gerudo (keeping the geurdo to my heart no matter what 🤞🏽) managed to turn her into a spirit/ghost that's not exactly similar to the champions in the sense she isn't stuck to one spot/person and has her own separate set of rules? maybe she's not able to be seen by anyone else except wild so he has to do this, that, and the third to not look insane when she's talking to him in front of people? then, when everything's said and done, she doesn't disappear like the champions or the king because she's was created by the gerudo/zelda?-- or, if zelda made her, she's significantly weaker than 100 years before (and grows weaker the longer wild takes to beat ganon) since zelda's grown weaker as well, but as time passes post-ganon's defeat, she grows stronger?

[liontamarin]

WOAH oh my god?? it's oc time??! some character sheets of my main two gals for my original story, Visions of the Hereafter!

the plot focuses on heiress to the underworld (also known as the medium in-universe), atalanta, who shows great raw power but has incredible difficulty channeling and restraining her emotions, which is super important when you're a necromancer. and while her mentors have taught her a lot, her aunt brisa never lets her hear the end of how far behind she is, as the clock is ticking for her ascension as head necromancer.

meanwhile, mortal delinquent and con artist kris has lived her whole life with the strange ability to sense the dead...when atalanta goes up to the surface under brisa's strict supervision as part of her training, what on earth happens when she manages to sneak off anyways and bumps into kris? it seems like the two are inexplicably connected, somehow...could the realms of the living and dead colliding like this only spell disaster just like atalanta's education in the medium has always taught her, or could it perhaps lead to something more...?

everything regarding this story is gonna be in my #VotHa tag from now on, more guys to come!

my sphinxsona again. I was messing with colors in this one

[yandere-paramour]

something something Ata finding a platonic darling after getting her hands on her spouse and basically forcefully adopting said platonic darling

bonus points if the platonic darling is some timid wetcat trying to escape an abusive family

This is cute scenario, very similar to Darling!Daughter.

Atalanta already has a Darling spouse she's very happy with, but she somehow comes across you one day. You're sobbing like a baby, the worst cries of your life. Your family is abusive, but they won't let you into the domestic violence shelter because you're still underage. You don't have any food, money, or work experience, and it's cold enough that you might actually freeze to death tonight.

But your luck is greater than you realize.

"What's wrong, little one?"

Your first thought is Mafia. A gorgeous woman, surrounded by thick, beefy bodyguards, is speaking to you. Her face is endowed with parental concern, looking at you like you're a poor little wet kitten in the rain.

You look around, afraid to speak, but it's clear she's not leaving, not without an explanation. So you spill your story, hating the way her face screws up with anguish. She shakes her head and stands to her full height, making up her mind.

"Come with me," She holds out one perfectly manicured hand, "I can get you someplace warm for the night, and we can work from there."

Your choices are go with her or stay here, so you go. Her car is warm, and you feel bad sitting on the seat in your dirty clothes. She is clearly a very wealthy woman, tapping out a text on the latest iPhone, while you try to stay quiet and hope she won't have a change of heart and shove you out onto the highway.

She brings you to some apartment building in the next town over, and when one of the bodyguards bids her a goodnight, you finally realize who this woman is. This is Atalanta Montclair, heiress to the Montclair dynasty, the richest person within 500 miles, a woman of looks, brains, and wealth. Your face is clearly terrified, and you want to escape, but you and her are in an elevator, her clearly noticing but ignoring your fears.

She brings you to a room on an unmarked floor. The room is pristine, white bedclothes, clothing in your size already in the closet, large TV with all channels. You've never seen such luxury. Montclair does not touch you, only advises you to stay the night and she will be back to speak to you in the morning. She sends some food up for you, and leaves you to rest in peace, only warning you to be good and stay in the room until she comes to get you.

You decide to take your good fortune as it comes. You take a much-needed shower, eat the warm soup and crusty bread, and sleep on the softest mattress you've ever felt. You feel like a whole new person and it's only been one night. Atalanta Montclair must be an angel sent by God themself, so you might as well obey her.

Atalanta is back down with you late the next morning. She looks pleased at your clean, well-fed state, and praises you for taking care of yourself, making you blush. You thank her profusely for the food and warm bed, telling her than you'll get out of her hair soon, but she won't have it. Before you know, she's convinced you to stay another night.

And then a week passes. Then two weeks. Then two months.

The building is massive. You've been to the Montclair's apartment and had dinner with Atalanta's wife many times, even spending some time with the lady during the day. You've accompanied her on shopping trips, trying to refuse all the soft pastel clothes she insisted on buying you, but she won't have it. You've had tea with her on the garden terrace, even fallen asleep watching a movie in the screening room, and woken up to a soft blanket draped over your shoulders.

You've become almost like a child again, a companion trailing after your saviors as the spoil you with gifts and luxury. Atalanta is even talking about moving your room closer to the main apartment. Every time you try to leave, there is always another slice of cake, another movie to watch, another cup of hot chocolate for you to drink. You're doted on like a beloved child, even having your own staff assigned to look after you and protect you. You're never in the elevator alone, and you have no idea where your important documents are now; Atalanta said she was keeping them safe in her office but you're not allowed in there without her.

Honestly, the whole situation was a dream. Outside this glorious building is endless capitalistic work, abusive parents, freezing cold wind that makes your weak joints ache. There's nothing for you out there, nothing you want to be bothered with.

You should just stay. Atalanta and her wife clearly want you here, they're talking about taking a trip to Greece soon and you heard them mention 3 tickets. No one's ever wanted you before, and no one's ever treated you this well either. You're doted on here, loved and adored and hugged, getting to really experience the love of parents who don't abuse you in 15 different ways. You even get pocket money.

You're still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but for now, you're... here. And you really don't want to go back.

[hotpotrandomfics]

Riordanverse OC Headcanon: Ciel Ambrose Silverstein Top. (Training)

Ciel first teacher was his father, Alexander Silverstein (formerly Alexander Corbyn) and he taught his son the basics of street boxing. Alexander was a troubled youth when he lived in his home country of the United Kingdom, but his father (Ciel grandfather) had Alex take up boxing. Though Alex fought Ciel what he knew as means to defend against the bullies he dealt with at school. One day, Alex received a call to his restaurant about his son being suspended because he taken down his bully. When Alex picked up Ciel he reinforced the importance of not resorting to violence right away and be smarter than his opponent. Though he did reward him with ice cream when Ciel told him he used a cross hook followed with a lead uppercut against the bully (Alex preferred knockout combination).

Once Ciel learned he was a demigod and returned home for the fall season of school he was put into an official martial arts school. The Sifu was a regular at Alex’s restaurant and learned from him the bare minimum of Ciel circumstances. The need to protect himself from bullies but doing it efficiently. Ciel would be introduced to his Sifu, a Wing Chun/Kali practitioner, and would be training everyday so he could improve his precious and sensitive but giving him the ability to learn to sharpen his battle reflexes. The son of Hecate prior boxing training and summer at Camp Half Blood sharpened his skills for unorthodox scenarios.

Ciel excelled more in hand to hand combat than he did with weapons which when applied with his powers and magic made him a deadlier foe as he grew older. By the time he was eighteen, he was on the verge of reaching disciple hood among his peers at his school. Training year round had accelerated the curriculum to above the average martial art student, but given his life as a demigod it made it all the more important to train harder than the rest of his peers.

Ciel third and fourth teachers were close friends of his, Clara Atalanta Ostá (daughter of Hades and Guardian) and Pollen Vice (Egyptian Magician and Host of Serqet), both of whom were imperative to helping him complete his fighting style (property of @mastrmiscellaneous). Clara is a master swordsman whose skills would give the prodigy of the era (Percy Jackson) a run for his money and more. She did not allow Ciel to neglect weapons training as she sparred with him daily at camp and gave intense critique on his skills improvement or lack there of. Pollen Vice, Ciel met during the Battle of Manhattan offered him a chance to train with Brooklyn House after the conflict. The Host of Serqet taught Ciel how magic training is imperative and how raw magic is more problematic than it is necessary.
