#oc: ava mueller

[socially-awkward-skeleton]

With the Game Awards announcement for The Outer Worlds 2, I was slapped across the face with nostalgia for my Captain and the OC that brought me back to Tumblr. I've since grown in my art skills and wanted to go back and draw her again. So, reintroducing: Ava Mueller. AKA a 26 year old, mall goth, medical resident from Earth who's down bad for the angry space priest.

Favorite OC

I don’t think anyone is going to be surprised by this answer. She appeared in my brain one day, kicked all the other ocs to the curb and has now lived there rent free with her horrible ginger murder husband and I have come to accept this fact. She’s a year old and while her face claim changed, her character never did -- she’s always been my feral killer and I love her for it

Newest OC

Sia has existed for nearly 7 months now. I got suckered in by Sam Drake’s charms and I had to make a little lady to keep him in line. There’s still a fair bit I’m figuring out about her (and admittedly don’t spend enough time doing because Kit won’t leave me alone) but overall she’s my salt of the earth Irish academic who got suckered in by the chance at a little freedom and got stuck with Rafe Adler as a boss.

Oldest OC

TBH I don’t quite recall who is actually oldest but I know they were both in creation around 2005 so that’s about as much as I can remember (also getting to make banners for them was really cool because neither of them get much play in my head anymore unfortunately, luckily I still had their pinterest boards though)

Evangeline went through several rewrites and character changes, first she was a Dean ship, then a Sam ship, and then Lucifer showed up and well he absolutely won (can we all see why I have a Jacob ship now) anywho... she was my Louisiana witch OC who helped the boys on hunts and since I was but a baby teenager when I made her the most OP OC who just so happened to be the child of God...luckily my writing and character creating skills have vastly improved since that time

Fiona is my marvel oc who started out with the comics and then moved into the MCU. She was a Tony ship in the comics, who was besties with Daredevil, Spider-Man and Wolverine. She’s a reporter by day and a mutant with pyrokinetic abilities and an Avenger by night.  Later, when I moved her into the MCU she became a Loki ship and then after the events of Infinity War she became a Bucky ship

Meanest OC

It’s got to be Kit again, while Nora is mean girl levels of mean, Kit can be inherently cruel. She looks down on people as weak, despite them being people she should see as friends. She enjoys the kill. There’s a reason why she was made to be part of the cult.

Softest OC

Ava is absolutely just my little babygirl, out there trying to save people and just the most broken little thing who wouldn’t even harm a fly. The absolute cruelty of Halcyon and the way it treats its citizens upsets her to the core and all she wants is to give the colonists a better life even at the risk of her own

Most aloof/standoffish OC

Heh, I sense a running theme here...

Kit once again wins this prize. Written to be cat coded she prefers to be left alone and has a really terrible time having to socialize to the point where she pushes most people away since she’s fairly unsettling as an individual to begin with

Dumbest (affectionate) OC

Nora doesn’t have to be smart when she’s pretty and used to living the fancy life. She’s gotten away with living on just her looks and her sonic powers for sometime and that’s just what she’s used to now. Makes it easier for her to stay under the radar too, no one will expect the pretty blonde acting as Homelander’s arm candy.

Smartest OC

Toss up between these two ladies, Sia has a masters in maritime history and is excellent with research and is a star in her field taking after her father.

Ava Mueller was in her residency to become a medical doctor with a specialization in Neurology before heading to Halcyon.

OC i’d be friends with IRL

Another toss up, I just think these two are the most down to earth out of the bunch, easy to talk to, not afraid to make jokes and would have lots of interesting stories to tell

10 - 20 for Ava? 👀

Thank you so much for the ask!!

10. Favorite music:

Ava loves metal music, the harder the better, it fills her little goth heart with joy

11. Biggest fear:

Being abandoned. Her parents treatment of her left her with a lasting fear of not being worthy of love and that people would always leave her.

12. Biggest fantasy:

Finding someone who loves her, who makes her feel safe, and that she'll never be left alone again.

13. Bad habits:

smoking, drinking, caffeine addiction, never getting enough sleep (3-4 hours max a night)

14. Biggest regret:

Letting Graham Bryant anywhere near her.

15. Best kept secrets:

Her family life. Her crew were quick to find out that she was from Earth and had been frozen for 70 years, they were also quick to find out her real name, rather than Alex Hawthorne.

But her life before coming to Halcyon was something she kept quiet for a long time. Coming to the colony was supposed to be her fresh start and she didn't want to dredge up old memories. It was easier just to not talk about it for a long time.

16. Last thought:

"I did the best I could."

17. Worst romantic experience:

Any and all of her relationships back on Earth. Before coming to Halcyon she was prone to getting involved in all manner of one night stands and short lived relationships. She even made the mistake of sleeping with one of her professors in university.

She let a lot of people walk all over her and treat her like she wasn't worthy of their time or love in general.

18. Biggest insecurity:

Other than not believing she's worthy of love for a long time, in Halcyon life can be quite dangerous, and she is not a fighter. She very much lives by the medical oath of "Do No Harm" and so she relies on her crew a great deal to keep her safe while out on missions. This often makes her feel like a hindrance.

19. Weapon of choice:

If she's forced to kill, she uses her handgun. Though she did get pretty good with a blade as well.

20. Role Model:

Her eldest brother, the one who raised her after their parents' death. He was an engineer, smart and driven, he could find solutions to all sorts of problems. He was everything she wanted to be.

📚 my muse’s past/childhood: Ava Mueller (The Outer Worlds) - as requested by @aceghosts​ and @kirjanikv6ilill​

Ava grew up the youngest of four siblings, raised by parents who demanded success but who gave no love to her in return, she convinced herself academic greatness would win their love - it never did. Sent to a prestigious boarding school, she never saw her parents again, and after their death was raised by her eldest brother instead.

💼 my muse’s job/occupation for Ava Mueller (The Outer Worlds) as requested by @purplehairsecretlair

Before becoming the Captain of the Unreliable in Halcyon, Ava Mueller was a medical student in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania focusing on the study of Neurology

OTP ask for Ava and Max 🌈☔🐬

Thank you for the ask, been a while since I've thought about these two

🌈 - What were their first impressions of each other? 

Off the bat, Ava thinks he's a smarmy bastard who is far too arrogant for his own good. He's handsome sure, and somewhat charming, but he's smug and she is less than enthused about having to risk her own neck for his book.

Max is taken with her from the first time he sees her, she doesn't exactly look like or speak like most other colonists. She's healthy and clean and clearly well educated. she is everything a faithful follower of the Architect and the Plan could want, but there is a definite mystery about her that he can't quite place.

☔️ - How do they make up after a fight? 

Generally their fights can be quite heated, it certainly doesn't help that she likes to goad him into debates so that she can push his buttons and question his doctrine.

They are both the type to more or less forgive and forget after blowing up at each other like a volcano, they can usually be found minutes later drinking whiskey together and back to conversing like civilized colonists. Either that or it gets resolved in the bedroom.

🐬 - Who made the first move? 

Ava. Shortly after becoming crew mates she opens up to him (Ava is a terrible liar and cannot keep up the Alex Hawthorne charade for very long) and starts to put the moves on him. She doesn't really make it an official thing until arriving on Monarch and having a run in with Graham Bryant. She realizes she's caught feelings for the good Vicar and decides to make her move then.

OMG I love her from The Mentalist (I had no idea she was in The Craft)! Also what a romantic proposal 🥺💖 That sounds like such precious scene!

5. Do you have any voice claims for your OCs?

34. What scene that you've written/imagined is your favorite?

Please :)

Thanks for asking about my OCs. I really appreciate it!

5) I always imagined Ava having a fairly feminine voice with just the right amount of husk to it. I think the best example would be Robin Tunney (Sara from The Craft in case you’re wondering who that is).

34) My favorite scene is one that has yet to be written, but one i’ve certainly imagined in fair detail: Max proposing to Ava. I picture him doing it on Devil’s Peak, since Monarch is Ava’s favourite planet. The sun is setting, they’re sharing a bottle of Iceberg Aged Whiskey, reminiscing. Then he pops the question. It’s all very romantic in my head, I dont know if i’ll ever be able to do it justice in writing. lol
