[duskysprings-if]

Hello! the concept of your IF is so cool (also it's gravity falls referenced? yes please). I was looking through the posts and noticed that the other characters (not ROs) were given faceclaims, will the ROs get that too?

Apologies if that has been answered, but I couldn't find it while looking through the blog. Thank you in advance!!!

thank you! bearing in mind their appearances and skin tones, these were the best i could do - not perfect tho but is any face claim when it comes to your oc’s ever?

aspen: dawit3743 | tanith

loukas/louella: mukasa kakonge | coco chinelo

vanya: jeenu mahadevan | naema emily hossain (i can’t decide who i see them more as, so picture whichever).

rayn/raelyn: luo yunxi | li yitong

appearances

aspen

tawny skin tone. wavy, white hair that reaches the nape of male aspen’s neck and just past nonbinary and female aspen’s shoulders. often slicked back, fluffy when left natural. amber coloured eyes, that glow dark orange in a crescent moon shape when using their abilities. stands at 6’8. toned and athletic physique.

loukas/louella

cuban descent. sepia skin tone. black hair that reaches mid-back styled in micro dreads for loukas and in passion twists for louella. often pulled back into a low ponytail. dark brown eyes that usually have a certain mischievous spark to them. has a height of 6’2 and has a muscular body type with well-defined arms and thighs.

wears a few rings and three necklaces that layer, but doesn’t wear any bracelets nor do they have any piercings. has no tattoos (yet).

vanya

indian descent. golden brown skin tone. pixie cut blue hair (darker roots to lighter tips) styled in natural curls. hazel eyes that are on the browner side. stands at 5’10 with a chubby figure that is always styled well.

has several small tattoos all over their body (excluding their face) and several piercings including one lobe piercing in their right ear and five in the left ear, a septum piercing, a monroe ring piercing, and a horizontal piercing in their left eyebrow. doesn’t really wear other types of jewellery.

rayn/raelyn

chinese descent. beige skin tone. thick, black hair that reaches r’s shoulders and is often tied up in a half-up half-down bun. dark brown coloured eyes that appear black in certain lights. they’re about 5’7/5’8, no one is really sure and have a lithe but toned body that shows off only a fraction of their strength.

What sort of clothes do the ROs typically wear? Thanks!

aspen: they like black. even in summer. adds to their demonic street cred.

lou: typically wears jeans and graphic tees.

vanya: old money vibes.

r: jumpers.

[duskysprings-if]

r is so mysterious like WHAT ARE YOU HIDING

[duskysprings-if]

Dumbest thing the characters have ever done?

aspen: you. once accidentally created a black hole and was sucked into it. luckily it was a small one, so it was only a leg, but their friends never let them live it down.

lou: called inez short. she promptly gave them a dead leg and made their life hell for a week.

vanya: went to go find a book to read in the bath only to get immersed in the book. 30 minutes later, they realised they’d left the water running - the whole bathroom was flooded.

r: loves birds so they went bird watching one day and climbed this big ass tree in order to do so. unfortunately, while they were able to get themself up, they couldn’t get down and spent 3 hours stuck in a tree before they remembered they had their phone on them.

[duskysprings-if]

How would the ROs react if they enter the museum only to see a angry customer berating the MC who looks like there in the verge of tears ?

aspen: you best bet aspen is going to loom behind you and let their eyes glow as they stare down the customer and project images of unimaginable horror into their head. when you turn around, aspen would be looking elsewhere, but the customer would be traumatised.

lou: would slide up beside you with a polite (but to you, very false) smile and ask the customer what the problem is. they’d listen, seemingly attentively before telling the customer to take their sanctimonious bullshit, shove it up their ass, and get the hell out - all with that smile plastered to their face.

vanya: would simply scoff at the customer, looking down their nose at them before telling them that an insignificant insect such as themself has no business berating you and if they don’t want their reputation ruined, they’ll apologise and leave.

r: doesn’t even bother with words or looks, they simply grab them by the collar of their shirt and throw them out.

[duskysprings-if]

Characters as memes?

[duskysprings-if]

Characters opinions on cats?

aspen: loves all animals, and that includes cats.

lou: is pretty indifferent to cats, they’re more of a dog person.

vanya: is a total cat parent.

r: isn’t particularly fond of cats as their favourite animals are birds.

tweety: is similar to aspen in that she loves all animals, however, she can be a bit much for some cats.

blu: cradles animals like they’re babies, somehow all the cats blu hold seem to enjoy it (perhaps they have a sense for which cat is receptive).

inez: is more of a dog mum, but she still loves cats.

[duskysprings-if]

stuck in dead end jobs to pay the bills is not the future you or your twin sister envisioned for yourselves. so, when your grandfather bequeathes his museum of mysteries to you both in his will, you both leap at the chance to turn over a new leaf and start again.

only the town of dusky springs is nothing like you expected. the town is too vibrant, the people are too friendly, and the woods bordering the whole place are way too eerie for comfort.

still, you and your twin manage to carve out a piece to call home and with it, create a small family that consists of three employees of varying skill and sass, some rich kid with a surprising amount of sense, a wandering stranger, and the demon you accidentally summoned thanks to an old journal you found.

a journal that leads you to the realisation that in dusky springs…

no one is safe.

aspen lyrik [m/f/nb]

the demon you accidentally summoned and bound to you. aspen is quick-witted and intelligent, and you can’t tell if they’re fond of you or not. one moment, they’re refusing to speak to you and the next, they’re almost dying in order to protect you. you knew demons were going to be confusing, but nothing could have prepared you for yours.

loukas/louella cynara [m/f]

one of the employees you inherited with the museum. lou is the laidback life-of-the-party. despite their somewhat slacker attitude at work, they become a fast and loyal friend and appear ready to accept whatever crazy theories you throw their way. as a dusky springs lifer, their insight and knowledge could prove valuable.

vanya seneci [nb]

the child of the richest family in town. vanya lives off daddy’s money without shame. getting caught up with you and the imaginary mysteries of dusky springs was the last thing they wanted. except when things get a little real, you and your twin are the only ones they can turn to.

rayn/raelyn esias [m/f]

the stranger. r rolled into town around the same time you did. the only thing you know about them is the name they gave you and the fact that they seem to know a lot more about dusky springs then they’re letting on.

poly options are aspen + rayn/raelyn and loukas/louella + vanya
