I’ve been doing some redesigns of my Solar Flare Ocs as of late!

[dibatag]

This is absolutely devastating to draw and to think about because these two ocs have been in my head for months and I'm shaking as I draw this

[naughtynoodle056]

Im not doing so hot but fuck it we ball and use it for art

[avianreptiles]

wow avianreptiles from tumblr, talk about that sad pathetic cunt again!

Assorted things I've been thinking about lately/not so fun facts/extremely intricate lore doc snippets:

So tw for death/brief mentions of alcoholism and drug use/vaguely talking about suicide

-I based Kendrick's personality and general attitude on my brother. They're both extremely arrogant and hard-headed. I also gave them extremely close birthdays (they're both Tauruses)

-Kendrick's bday used to be on 4/20, then I realized that was kind of mean given his history, so I changed it to the day after

-I always talk and think about "If Kendrick lived xyz," but honestly? He was doomed from the start. There was no getting better for him, if he lived past 2125, it was just prolonging a guarantee.

-Moving on from that depressing statement, here's another one: Kendrick looked a lot like his paternal grandfather, but not much like Mac. His horns took on the more curved shape of his grandfather's, as apart to his father's. When Kendrick drunkenly attacked his father, Mac definitely got flashbacks to when his own father drunkenly attacked him decades prior, when he was the same age as his son.

-Mac's father, a once renowned politician turned alcoholic abuser, more than likely drank himself to death after his son and wife left him

-so here's how aromantic allosexual Kendrick can work: trust me

-Kendrick's official Albanian military records for confirmed kills are extremely inaccurate. He lowballed his estimates and straight up lied and said he didn't do some things entirely. He did way worse and way more things than what he reported back

-If this guy were a real person I'd hate him

-While the government is mostly to blame for what he turned out to be (a relentless and cruel individual who slaughtered his way through any situation at hand, who realized way too late what he was doing was wrong), he did throw away literally any ounce of respect for human life just to live to see the sun rise in the morning.

-There was no justification for what he did and he knew that

-There was no redemption or coming back from what he did and he knew that

-Lore doc is at 19k words rn

-Jay was a little in the wrong for sticking around and defending continuation of Kendrick's position in gov/military. The emotional damage received in 2125 was kind of on him. He knowingly stuck by the side of a man he thought he could "fix." Jay's ultimate decision, when it came down to him, to keep Kendrick not only in the military, but in such a high, commanding position, after it was revealed he was an Albanian Dissenter, was a very bad one.

-Kendrick's night vision/vision in general was magnitudes greater than the general population and his peers. On the same coin, because he was so reliant on his sight, he was way more susceptible to eye damage, whether it be from flash bangs, the sun, or even on one occasion, having old car oil thrown at his face.

-He killed 2 men in cold blood because they stole his boots

-For the last couple years of his life, when half of his face got ripped off in the car crash, he was not an avid fan of mirrors or reflective surfaces. He witnessed the dead, mangled face of his mother when he was 12. Due to their facial similarities, he did not want to see the dead face of his mother every time he looked in the mirror, so he just didn't look in mirrors.

Anyways I'm done with fun kendrick facts with avianreptiles, most of them weren't fun, most of them were demeaning and kind of terrible to think about, but this guy is engraved on every single neuron in my brain so oh well

[avianreptiles]

Redrew that one meme

[avianreptiles]

[avianreptiles]

Thinking about those fuckinh ocs again

[avianreptiles]

Avian I am constantly thinking about your ocs now please give me lore on Henry please please pleas

Alrighty (thank you for sending in asks I love elaborating)

Tw for death and suicide:

Alright so what Henry is:

So all of this takes place in the 2110s-2120s. It's about a hundred years into the future. I think I already talked about how today's "modern" countries (namely the US, Canada, Most of Europe, and Russia) went to shit.

Henry goes by he/him (with exceptions). Henry is a butch lesbian and we love him. If I've given him she/her before, it was either 1.) A mistake or 2.) I was still on the fence whether or not to give him he/him or she/him.

This is basically a dystopia story but there are different sentient species. All sentient species evolved from primates (or this universes version of primates, more carnivorous and half arboreal half running around things), including Henry's species, which evolved from this universes equivalent of lemurs. The species looks damn near similar to a canine, but they're not even close. I've dubbed them lemurs but I don't really have a name atm, but theyre are just about the same size, if not a little taller than ceratis (human equivalent) by a couple inches and their shoulders are further down. They're covered in fur and they usually have fluffy necks and arms in comparison to other body parts.

Henry Castillo was born in 2092 in Boston, Massachusetts (not the state, but the country that reformed after the US fell 50 years prior) during a time of conflict with Massachusetts and its neighbor/enemy, the United Counties of Albany, which took over the rest of New England. Her father was born in Puerto Rico, Miami Republic, but moved in his adolescence. His mother died in action about 3 years after he was born, just after her brother, Mallick Castillo, was born. Henry's father did what he could to support Henry and Mallick, and opened up a mechanic shop in Boston that soon became the backbone of the community.

After The 2104 Truce where Massachusetts was allowed to rebound from about a decade of stress in exchange for a bit more land from Maine, when Henry was 12, Henry started working in the shop with his father. They made a pretty good living for a while, and strengthen the heart of Boston. He was quite popular with the ladies in Boston too. Henry stayed working at the mechanic shop until he turned 20.

So the war started back up again, fueled by a meticulous assassination plot that left Massachusetts without a key part of its executive government in 2111. At first, Massachusetts was doing *okay* enough for itself, but just needed soldiers, as there werent enough in the reserve. Massachusetts started to draft out eligible fighters and one happened to be Henry, who had just turned 20. Hardened by almost a decade of fixing cars and just about every mechanical device in a 10 miles radius of his house, Henry would seem like a great fit for the army.

He was not, for the first 3 years. He missed his father dearly, and he had horrible nightmares almost every night that he would end up like his mother. From 2113-2114, he was placed into 3rd army after progressing a couple of armies up. He was absolutely miserable for a good bit, but he made good friends with a woman about 3 years older than him, Cinne Sullivan. They immediately bonded, and Henry straightened out his act, becoming a great soldier. Upon the death of the 3rd army commander, Cinnie Sullivan became commander by peer recommendation. He would do pretty good with Cinnie as his commander.

In 2114, only after 3 years of the war being continued, the Massachusetts government crumbled under its own weight, and officially collapsed, with the military and the people having to rush to set up an official-enough government. What was set up was a mostly-military lead resistance against Albany, which was advised and spoken for by a group of people small enough to fit in a classroom. That is Boston. It's a hodgepodge. The military-organization unit didn't make much sense before, now it didn't make much sense anymore, but the same as it was before, if someone died/retired/moved up, someone from an army between 1-3 levels below would take their place. Commanders are chosen by 1.) Peer recommendation when the previous authority has no say in the matter/are dead 2.) Previous authority handing it down.

About a year later in 2115, a couple people in 1st army died and a kid named Jay Lombardi (YAY) was moved from 4th to 1st army, along with Henry Castillo. While it hurt Henry to have to be away from Cinnie, someone who he had grown incredibly close to, he was proud of himself for having made it that far, even landing a spot in 1st army. Henry did pretty well for himself, becoming great friends with a couple of the other people in 1st army, mainly "Vulture" Milican, Jay Lombardi, and Eloa Nighy. Being the 1st army seemed to be very good for Henry, as he loved being apart of decision making. After about a year later, in 2116, Jay Lombardi was chosen by prev-auth to become Commander of 1st army and he chose Henry and Vulture to be his right hand men. Henry loved having a say in matters, it was just about his favorite part of being in the position he was in. Was he a little unsure as the fact that Boston was being led by a 19 year old? Kinda. Oh well. His is about the time where Mallick is put into 1st army as a medic.

In 2117, a lot of people in the 4th and 2nd armies moved around and by the end of the year, some random fucking kid that passed "military-enough" training with flying colors got put in 2nd army and attracts the attention of literally everyone in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd army by being just very off-putting and strangely terrifying. That's Kenny. Henry is smart, very intelligent, and knows something is up immediately and no matter what, can not shake the fact that this random ass kid who claimed to be from Worcester with a Western New York accent is suspicious. Henry is the ONLY sensible motherfucker in the Boston Military. The only one.

Henry still talks to Cinnie often. Over the years, they're friendship just kinda leads into a full on romantic relationship. They would die for eachother. They would live for eachother. They're insane for one another. He loves her.

About 4 years later, so sayyy about 2121, so uh yeah half of 2nd army is just declared dead over the radios, including Commander Poste who was made commander by prev-auth and the medic who was Jay Lombardi's cousin. This obviously took a massive toll on Jay, as Jay was close to them both, so Henry took over a couple duties for a few days. Then like a week later they show up. And Kenny had to confess that he lied about just about everything, LIKE HENRY HAD SNIFFED OUT. More horrifyingly, Kenny also had to confess that he was specifically apart of a Kill-On-Site Group for Albany. A KOS group. For Albany.

Henry lost it, to say the least. He begged Jay to do SOMETHING about Kenny. Not even like making him retire, but like maybe just put his involvement in the army on pause. JAY DID NOTHING. NADA. Jay had the authority and reason to do something and didn't. It really made Henry lose respect for Jay.

Henry's opinions on the both of them took a while to settle, but by 2123, Henry's opinion on Kenny is mostly "whatever, he's definitely not Albany anymore but I don't agree with the fact that he's Commander."

Coincidentally in 2123, a random guy named Austin Luell was asked to be put into one of the higher two armies by Juniper Barron, one of the main people that basically advises the army. Austin was previously the sole survivor of his unit from an attack that happened years ago. Upon informing Austin about Commander Poste's previous actions, he was immediately out for blood and everyone recognized that. Austin went on this long tangent that "I know that Poste is the one that killed my unit and I'm mad about it" when Kenny didn't do shit and the dates didn't match up. Juniper Barron insisted in Austin being placed under Poste's domain, 2nd army. Well almost everyone else didnt. Almost everyone else recognized it as a bad idea. Except, you guessed it, Poste, who was a little stoned throughout the meeting but honestly didn't really care. This proved to be a really stupid decision, because 6 months later, Poste was AGAIN declared dead over the radios. Coincidentally, most of 2nd army was scattered throughout 3 counties, and Austin, with two other 2nd army members, declared himself commander by peer recommendation. Austin "killed" him. Austin had managed to overpower Poste, his goal, to get Poste to abdicate power, one way or another, and he did. As far as Austin knew, Poste was dead and Jay Lombardi, the only person in between him and control of the military, was next.

Henry was passed the fuck out when all of this was happening. He was coming down with a cold and slept in til about 3 in the afternoon. He only woke up when he was jolted awake by Colten, who had started rambling about some sort of secret plot that Henry was just not comprehending. The radios are all down. He only really woke up when he heard gunshots down the hall and shouting. After listening for a moment, he finally realized a portion of what Colten had been saying and ran down the hall in the opposite direction of what he assumed was Austin doing a sweep of the hallways, with the one goal of warning his commander. He made it to Jay's doorway. He got a couple words in, mostly just unintelligible yelling, and was completely bodied by Austin. Henry got to watch Austin threaten Jay for a minute, completely powerless, before Austin gave Jay an ultimatum, abdicate power or he end up like Poste. Then Poste showed up and in an act that horrified everyone watching, tore Austin to fucking shreds. This did nothing to persuade Henry that Poste was okay. Nothing at all.

Over the next about 3-ish years, growing as close as ever to the people in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd army, as the war with Albany dragged on, Henry remained strong. The death of Erin Seabird and the early retirement of Lake Köhler caused by self-inflicted injury got to him. Towards the end of 2125, Henry started to notice that both Jay and Kenny's were growing a tiny bit cold with eachother, but didn't pay much attention to it at first, but was forced to have to talk to Jay about it when Jay's performance started to become affected. Jay told Henry to leave him alone, and that was that.

In 2125, Commander Ellie Briggs, who had led the enemy offense into Boston for a decade at that point, was killed by Jay. Following a successful assassination of the Albany President, Hostille, the Albany government, unable to find a replacement for either in time to ease the growing public displeasure with the war, collapsed, thus putting an end to the war that had claimed thousands upon thousands. Henry was one of the first ones to start to talk about what would happen to the military now that the war was over. It was pretty agreed upon that everyone in 1st army would stay in the army. That changed when, a week and a half after the war ended, Commander Poste committed suicide. Commander Jay Lombardi, struck with grief, retired early, followed by Vulture Milican and Mallick Castillo.

Henry was named Commander by prev-auth. He was sad to see the people he had basically called family for years at this point retire from the military, but he made promises that he would try and visit every once in a while. He was still madly in love with Cinnie at the time, and they got married only a year later, when they had the time for it. They had been thinking about it for a while, but the end of the war is really all they had been waiting for. Henry and the new commander for 2nd army, Commander Abdi, worked together for 5 years, until Henry, joined by Cinnie only a momth later, retired in 2130 at the age of 38.

He's living a nicer life now, living in Downtown Boston with Cinnie. His brother and father live nearby, and they're all happy, for once.

Henry Castillo would never forget the horrors of war and what he had to do to survive for over a decade, but helping to rebuild his home city will atleast help him attach a better memory to Boston then the bloodshed and tears it was before.

[avianreptiles]

I think you should talk about Jay and Kenny (pls pls pls pls I really like them)

Sun and Moon Imagery for these two, thank you for sending this ask I love talking about ocs

TW: suicide.

Something that I've had in my head for a while is that Jay and Kenny never really slept without each other. If one had to sleep without the presence of the other, for example, Kenny just wouldn't sleep. Like at all. He trusted Jay with his life and would only really feel comforted by the fact that someone he trusted would be right beside him when he went to bed and when he woke up. (A huge reason why he needed just *someone* there is because of the horrors that he had faced in the Albany army. He had no one in GLSF. He was on his own for the better part of two years and had to watch his own back, rven around the other GLSF members). If Kenny was not there in bed with him, Jay would become extremely distressed. Jay was known for having just about the poorest circulation, not doing too well in the cold, and Kenny was known for just about the opposite, too warm all the time (this is the type of mf you see at school to wear basketball shorts when its snowing outside). This is great for both of them because Jay got a big warm teddy bear, and Kenny gets an ice pack. They were made for each other. They slept together every night they could. It's not really too great to let the military know that two of the highest ranking officials were just about inseparable, but after like 2 attempts to ask them to stop, Barron gave up. Eventually just about everyone in 1st and 2nd army knew, but they didn't really care (save for Henry Castillo and a tiny bit of Eloa Nighy).

There's only been a couple of times where they purposely didn't sleep together due to some event, but 9 times out of ten it was because Kenny got injured and spent the night in the military hospital or Jay got sick.

About a week after Briggs was killed, (in the same confrontation that Kenny was horrifically injured) before Final Argument, however, Kenny had been purposely skipping nights to delay talking about the inevitable, having to be told to his face that he was done for in the military and he was going to have to retire early. (I made a post about this, but ill go into detail at some point). He had been avoiding it like the plague, and he knew that Jay would be the one to tell him. Him avoiding Jay was hurting the both of them and he knew that, so the night that Kenny decided to finally man up, is the night of the Final Argument. Kenny felt like his only purpose was the military and to take away the military would leave him with nothing, and Jay had nothing to argue back with. Kenny and Jay never really raised their voices often, just about everyone on the floor to hear it. Kenny, who hadn't properly cried in years, sobbed. Jay left him. They both slept alone. Jay felt cold for the first time in years and Kenny had burnt out like a star.

Kenny took his own life the morning after.

They're probably not on good terms anymore because of that
