Liam’s master post of their TAZ OCs

Alright, so this is going to involve pulling some of my art off my Instagram from 2017 so that’s going to be an event(tm). So as a fun second half to this post you get to see my art progression (provided in links so this post doesn’t get too long). 

TAZ: Balance

Alicia

Alicia is a tiefling sorcerer who works as a reclaimer at the Bureau Of Balance. Before she was hired she was a Fantasy Anthropologist and explored the world. Her thesis was trying to do research on the war caused by the Grand Relics, but all her leads were turning up loose ends. By evidence of Angus McDonald, Lucretia has a tendency to hire those who are a threat to the BOB and the exact same thing happened with Alicia. While working there she was proposed to by her fellow adventuring party member and BOB employee (which might be Cam, I haven’t decided if it’s Cam.) However, before they were married he left on a reclaiming mission and never returned. 

Eventually, Alicia was sent to Wonderland, and without her typical adventuring party. With her she had a fighter/monk named Morgane and a male ranger whose name I’ve forgotten over time. And they were the absolute worst. Alicia ended up losing her left ring finger, fucked up some of her fights, some life force/HP and her left eye. Though all this she always chose trust in “trust or forsake.” In one last-ditch effort she sacrificed all the memories of her fiance. It didn’t work. I never created a solid ending for these characters but it didn’t work.

Cricket Fangbattle

Cricket was repurposed into a character I played in a campaign called “Employees of the Month” but I’m never giving up her fan OC origins. Tilly “Cricket” Fangbattle is the younger sibling of the two canon Fangbattles,  their parents are seasoned but retired adventurers. She was born with her legs twisted together, which ended up in her father nicknaming her “Cricket,” and later it was discovered she had Cerebral Palsy. 

Cricket’s two favourite things were to listen to her older brother Jeremy play his music and when the whole family sat by the fire at night and her mom and dad would tell old stories about their adventuring days. Although these stories came with a warning to never do something as dangerous as that, the warnings were ignored by every Fangbattle kid.

Jeremy was the first to leave. He became a bard, despite his father practically begging him not to. As soon as he left the music in the house was suddenly tragically missed, especially by Cricket (she couldn’t really do much else with her overprotective parents). Father Fangbattle then changed his tone slightly and started trying to convince Carey to play music (which explains why Carey explains how she explains how her dad wanted her to be a bard which contrasts what Jeremy/Scales says in the Flop House episode no one even listened to.) Carey grew ever more frustrated and eventually left to become a bard.

Cricket left home herself after some more time had passed, determined to make a name for herself as an adventuring storm sorcerer.

TAZ: Commitment

[unknown]

Ok this is honestly the most bare-bones OC I’ve ever had and I can’t believe I’m talking about her but uhhhhhhh Commitment. Anyways she’s a sweet lolita hijabi and was one of the failed tests for the augmentation process before Addison, Flanagan and Mary marked the first success. She did receive a power, shadow manipulation (basically Mage Hand made of shadows) but she was unstable. The Do Good Fellowship just kinda left her in the basement... falling apart both mentally and physically.

I probably won’t do much with her. She doesn’t even have a name and her core components have been given to other OCs. Angel’s Breath (Both images not described) got the “cute dressing to hide the darker side of character” bit (not a conscious decision for [unknown]) and the shadow manipulation was given to Aviv. 

I have no art of this character

TAZ: Amnesty

Mel

This is Mel, short for Melody, a second-generation Chinese immigrant and one of the older members of the Pine Guard.  She found herself in Kepler due to her other job as a meteorologist and somehow got caught up in the cyptid scene. She was active at the same time as the Fire Elemental Barclay mentioned all the way back in the Water Elemental arc but was out of town for the event. 

She did several test to see how Sylphs adapt to life on Earth. One included taking Dani, a Sylph that relied on the hot springs and not a charm for the “anti-feral,” as far away from The Lodge (with a supply of spring water in a mason jar) as possible to see how she faired. (It didn’t go well, she got pretty sick.)

She eventually left due to the stress of it all (after Thacker’s disappearance) and went to go live with her older sister, a doctor who lives several towns over, but not before setting up a little weather station/instrument shelter behind the lodge.

Ritz

Iris “Ritz” got her nickname from the Hornets after eating too many crackers on the first day she joined.  They just got home from college after studying to become a graphic designer and are trying to prove to her parents she can stay home with her friends and get a successful career instead of moving away.  She’s not the best at stunts but that doesn’t really matter, she’s really just there for her friends. She’d do anything for them, even if it means leaving out her contrasting opinions. 

Also, her family owns way too many dogs! They’re a breeder for golden retrievers and also assist in training and supplying service dogs!
