#oc: ockham

[that-giorgione]

Inspired by this post from our dearest @viric-dreams

[thunder-threnodies]

Silverers across FLondon in a Club like "Nothing's wrong with Ockham, what is everyone talking about?"

And everybody else is so PISSED about it.

Viric, What Is Up With Your OC?, an Ocksplainer:

Ockham (heshethey/mirrored pronouns), the player character, is a Parabolan reflection inexplicably spit into the Neath. Hishertheir memories are an amalgamation of both that of hishertheir original body, and also those belonging to the Cacophony possessing the original Ockham (Snockham).

Because Ockham is a reflection, heshethey struggles to manifest entirely properly outside of Parabola. Ockham gives off intense levels of viric radiation, making any conversation or interaction feel fuzzy and difficult to recall after the fact, like trying to recall a dream.

This effect is entirely negated when wearing Cosmogone Goggles. In fact, Ockham appears incredibly vivid in those goggles. There's one silverer in Ockham's social circle who wanders around with goggles on in London and they've yet to comment on the fact that there's anything unusual afoot.

The viric radiation effect is also entirely negated when in Parabola, as with any creature of the Is-Not.

All this time, there's a possessed Snockham (he/him, though nobody's yet asked the Cacophony's pronouns) running around devoid of memories and looking marginally worse for wear.

Not included here, but any time Ockham shows up in a reflective surface, the reflection is visible and of Snockham.

Politely requesting "caught" for Ockham (unless you have other inspiration, in which case go nuts) <3

"...Close the door behind you, darling."

Yet another sticky note doodle of riaan and @viric-dreams's ockham, i cannot be stopped

For the ask game, probably the portrait I've had most fun with https://viric-dreams.tumblr.com/post/744428885233549312/since-both-parabolan-reflection-talk-and-framed

YES I remember this, what a delight to see it again!! The eyes of non-radioactive Ockham are so unsettling to look at--feels very Fingerking-y. As always in your art, the lighting is impossibly beautiful--but what really strikes me this time is the spectrum of tones within Ockham's complexion, all the shadows, highlights, red and greenish patches. And, of course, the gif is endlessly satisfying, I could just stare at it forever!

Ask game from here!

And how to forget their rouge Morg Ockham.

Conceptually this is extra fun because in addition to being low vision to begin with, the Scrimshander is colorblind }.)

Okay, fallen london community. Show me your ocs.

The Six-finger'd Scrimshander got its camera working, and is going to take a picture of you all at the end of the month. Dress appropriately.

[the-clay-quarters]

Here we go, all seventeen kiss prompt drawings! This definitely ended up bigger than I expected -- three whole weeks! -- but it was tons of fun and got me drawing more than I usually do :D

I wanted to collect these all in one post mostly because I like looking at them all together, but also because I actually changed a couple of the first ones after posting and wanted to share this version. Word of advice, don't draw in one sitting then post it immediately at midnight xD Other than that, though, I'm super happy with all of these <3 Hope y'all had fun too!

All the pings for people's ocs under the cut since it got long!

14 & 30?? 👀

14. Would they agree with the term "guilty pleasure"? Do they have any?

They do not agree with the term but understands why it exists. And yeah they have. First of all, they brew a honeyed brandy with Prisoner's Honey (harvested from those requesting their services no cages for them) (not after considering the last Red Honey they have could possibly come from a certain 6'2" Silverer Pirate) and regularly enjoy the hunt of some Parabolan Selves gone rampant, their killing. For this reason they're in very good terms with the Director (@warabola oc)

Also the cutting knife, the scent of blood, feeling the life and heartbeat in the blade and at their fingertips. Bloodplay and knife play. Swordfighting to death. Blood given as a love token, drank while down on their knees, kissing the slit wrist.

30. What would they do, if they knew they'd be forgiven?

Tell Hiram about all the deals they made to ensure he will live on with his Deviless. Tell him to check the inside of their violin, for there's a concert for piano and violin and a little vial of red honey (Morgan's own memories of a love long dead and their love for Hiram) and Morgan's final request, to ask the Deviless to play it, while high on Honey so he can feel one last time and know that Morgan's departure to the East has nothing to do with him.

All this will be discovered by the Parabolan Lost Reflection of Morgan, that will be a mix of every memory of every person he loved but with the appearance of Eleonor, the Loved one who died in their Nemesis. She'll be a TERRIBLE violin player but she will be drawn to that violin and find it's hidden treasure. Also, she takes form in the CiS as a late teen. Some sort of Ockham situation here.

21 to celebrate the newfound acquaintance between the good doctor and Ockham? (who's 5'7" probably)

A kiss to remember.

[alchemical-echo]

sweet lil Johnny, my paladin oc from a slightly steampunk-y revolutionary campaign. He was once the scion of a wealthy and powerful family in the upper city, but his experiences led him to sympathizing and eventually colluding with lower-city revolutionaries, u til he was. caught using his families wealth influence, and access to the flow of weapons and armaments to supply the rebels. He was arrested and sentenced to exile, along with another highborn revolutionary, and both escaped to the pits of Ockham. Bracket still writes, while Johnny works in a local forge to support them as the two help bolster and support Ockham's growing dissident movement.

He also likes to bake 🤗

Major oopsie moment, i forgot about the neath and rain (or better, the lack thereof)…

Also i love their different approaches!

🌧️ What is the favorite thing for you OC to do on a rainy day?

Does it rain in the Neath? In any case, Ockham likes finding a place to sit (a cafe, the room above the bookshop's window ledge, etc.) and read or get some work done whilst listening to the rain. The sounds of the rainfall is soothing.

Elias is not a fan of rain at all and would rather be below decks or indoors or somewhere where he doesn't have to think about bad weather. Firmly doing anything to ignore it.

Nicholas is most likely to be attending a salon or out gambling or doing something indoors, but there's always this small part of his brain nagging at him to sprint through the wet cobblestone streets. Zoomies impulse.
