#oc: mel torren

[zoo-the-saint]

Okay so I was gonna wait until tomorrow to post this but I got excited so I'm posting now. This is for the Rowvember prompt "Feather"!

I decided to draw Mel as a phoenix because I associate her with phoenix for so many different reasons that I won't get into here. But this turned out so pretty 🥰

[zoo-the-saint]

Doing this and literally anyone can do it because I don't have a clue who to tag. But thank you sm @masschase for tagging me!

I made Zoo and Mel, my Saints Row OCs !! ( I didn't make Mikey because I'm still in a grey area with his development-)

— OC Tag Game.

Rules: Use this piccrew by djarn to create portraits of your OC(s). Link a piece of content they are starring in, add anything you would like to share about your OC(s), and no pressure tag one person per OC in your post!

Both Jane & Benjamin are part of my BAD DOG fanfic! :')

No pressure tag: @alittleposhtoad and @50cal-fullauto-astarion

[zoo-the-saint]

Drew an evil!Mel inspired by an rp I'm doing with @masschase 😊💙

[zoo-the-saint]

Mel was practically a puppy, always following Maero around. She totally didn't have a crush on her Boss at all, no that would be crazy

((I still hate how I always make Maero look attractive when I draw him, I swear it is unintentional-))

Boss ask meme:

For Zoo: 17 and 19

For Mel(I know she's not a Boss but you asked 😅): 7 and 9

Thank you for the ask!! 🥺

Zoo

17: which romance option is my headcanon?

So obviously I love Matt x Zoo, but the Boss and Johnny romance option actually inspired me to have Zoo have subtle feelings for Johnny. The feelings were really strong back in SR2 but Zoo back off because Johnny had Aisha, then after her death, Zoo really didn't want to come onto Johnny because he knew he was hurting. So finally having some downtime on the Ship and having Johnny back, Zoo just starts rambling about all of the feelings he's had over the years that he's kept hidden and Johnny just cutting him off. It's honestly my second favorite romance option and it helped me develop Zoo quite a bit.

19: Favorite gun/weapon?

I don't know guns, but Zoo's favorite weapon is dual-wielded black pistols because he's an angsty bitch.

Mel

7: OTP/OT3 pairing?

Okay so for like SR3/SR4 Mel, I genuinely still have no idea who to ship her with. But for SR2, I ship her with Matt (SR2), and then semi-jokingly, her, Matt, Maero, and Jess being two couples that mess around with each other. 😆 I do wanna try to think of more ships for her for later games, though!

9: any family, and who is most important?

So Mel has an older brother and a mom. She has no idea who her dad is because her mom definitely got around, and Mel's brother was in jail for armed robbery when she was born, so he was in prison her entire childhood. She was never close to her mom; Mel's mom had a heavy drug problem, and any money she got went right into drugs. So Mel pretty much ran away and got into the crime life so she could survive. Mel has always been closer to her brother and used to always visit him in jail (their mom never visited him). Now that she's been in the Saints and he's out of jail, she doesn't really know where he's gone, but she feels like he has been avoiding her due to her being involved in crime and him possibly trying to avoid that life.

⚜️ "Welcome to the Row" ⚜️

Hey! I had a side blog on my main account dedicated to Saints Row but I decided to make a Saints Row only account to make things easier for myself! I will also have a side blog dedicated to Matt that was also on my other account. This way I can just keep things strictly SR related here!

General Info:

I am an artist, roleplayer, writer, and cosplayer

This blog will focus on my OCs, especially my Boss OC, Zoo

I will ramble and post art and things here because I get in this headspace for Saints Row pretty damn often

If you wanna send me asks, especially about my OCs, please don't hesitate! I will sob.

I am a literate roleplayer, though I prefer to roleplay on Discord! If interested, just send me a DM!

My Matt Miller blog: @hacker-g0d

My OCs:

⚜️ Zachary "Zoo" Denver ⚜️: My grumpy Boss OC. He's angsty and short and filled with rage, and he also has a Cockney accent on top of that. He's my pride and joy.

❣️ Amelia "Mel" Torren ❣️: Was part of The Brotherhood and was Maero's lieutenant when she was barely 18. She defected snd joined the Saints and has stuck around since.

🃏 Michael "Mikey" Bowe 🃏: An ex-drug addict who serves as the glorified mechanic for the Saints. Has a passion for gambling and knives.

[zoo-the-saint]

Started to do some reference sheets for Mel and I wanna do her different looks throughout the series! (I'll do Zoo too i swear-)

(Also I'll post all when I'm done in a sort of master post!!)

Drew Mel waking up after spending the night with (SR2) Matt (👀)

Do you have more fun with Mel as a Saint or as an antagonist in AUs etc.? 🙂

Honestly I have more fun with her as an antagonist just because I have a weak spot for villain characters as a whole and I lov3 unhinged, nothing-to-lose Mel. Plus, I adore her evil!Mel design, like,

Look at her

[zoo-the-saint]

A little animation test of Mel! I adore how this came out

[zoo-the-saint]

A while ago I redrew this screenshot with Zoo and I added Mel in since I hc that she would have joined Maero in the caves since Carlos joined Zoo

Fetus Zoo and Mel

[zoo-the-saint]

Oooooo you guys wanna send me asks about my Boss, Zoo, or Mel ooooooo ~

[zoo-the-saint]

A drawing I did of Mel and Matt (SR2) because I decided they were dating before Mel left The Brotherhood. They're honestly so damn cute

Also ik the proportions are a little off

[zoo-the-saint]

A messy doodle I did of my evil!Mel because God I adore her being a cocky bitch wanting revenge against the Saints, I literally love this version of her so much

[zoo-the-saint]

This is Mel for an AU I thought of where she never left The Brotherhood and escaped the Saints. She then lays low, and years later, she's back and wanting revenge. She forms an alliance with Killbane to take the Saints down once and for all

Plus a version with some notes:

SUPER HOMIE MEL

This is based off the wrestler Rhea Ripley and this is Mel's super homie outfit in SR4, she's HOT
