#ruby gilman teenage kraken OC

[francesthetraveller]

Imagine hyperfixating on a movie trailer that's just came out so hard that you proceed to make an OC for it already

Everyone, this is my beautiful shithead son,,,

Ward Feelfhillip!!!

(aka. "The Shore Lunatic" among normal townsfolks)

Lore time!!!

Ward is the fisherman within the shores of the town, however doesn't seem to have his deliveries in markets actually sell well, like, at all, due to the fact of them being mostly delivered late and thus all of them becoming rotten overtime. In the town he is mostly acclaimed for constantly rambling about marinebiology and mythical creatures when he's around anywhere, and he is rarely if at all seen in public. At home he spends his time eating canned food and trying to analyze everything in history and within books, including the internet, inorder to make out a full coherent and correct chart about a certain mythos he's been long searching for: "Sea-monsters."

You see, when he was just a wee lad (about like 20+ years ago, so in like the 1990s), this little idiot thought it would be a great idea to sail out onto the ocean by himself inorder to prove that a 8 year old can very much sail the entire earth shorter than 80 days. However, he didn't know that going out to sea without checking the weather and only a backpack of Hubba Hubbas, Reese's Peices and like a few crackers wouldn't be as much of a great idea. So he ended up 15 miles away from the beach, in the middle of heavy rain, while also being taken around by the tides. While being absolutely terrified and panicking over his life, He soon caught up to the sight of an over 50 ft tall beast...making the waters glow in a horrid green light, with a soulpiercing stare, and a form so horrid that no one could've had thought of it...It was human, yet, at the same time, not at all...it was the last thing he saw before getting unconscious by the tide...

He woke up eventually on the shore surrounded by the townspeople, all whom had found him there shortly after the next day, albeit mostly injured. Everyone in the town, including his parents, were infact, very pissed about him, due to him causing a searchparty from being missing. This eventually caused him to never get respected at all anytime at all during any ocassion, due to how many believed he would just cause problems for everyone like he did the last time (and both his parents believed this aswell). This was another major factor to why he got ostracized (other than being bullied by the incident).

Now, this would be the part where your TV tropes brain would believe the reason why he's searching for the sea-monsters is to capture/kill them or something (like maybe prove to people that they exist), but just so you know, this is the same guy who brought candy with them on a boat. The actual main reason why he wants to search for them, mainly the one he saw when he was younger, is because he believes that by seeing a sea-monster during a life-threatening situation, he has gained more greater knowledge than anyone else in the world did, and not only that, but in someway, he too himself had became a monster of somesorts. And his main goal is to find these creatures, and finally figure out how to actually be a wise, smart and a mythical creature correctly. What does this actually correlate to internally?

...Homie hyperfixates on fishes so hard that he just wants to rather be praised by them than be praised by humans. (He's the literal definition of Uncomfort the comfortable and comfort the uncomfortable) (I'll make a part 2 explaining the silly fun facts about this mess of a man)

Funny Sea-monster movie OC art time!!!

They turned him into a goddamn funko pop!!!

(The Harpoon is basically from his work as a fisherman but it's also his grandpappy's harpoon who he wanted to be just like as a kid which was one of the main reasons for why he caused the stupid ass sailing incident)

His ass was acting rude so he had to be put in a timeout in the air

This is part 2 of this said post by the way!!

Finally it's time to post some info about the little skinny legend that by himself is searching for a bigger, skinnier legend... (wait uhhh- that sounded wrong-) -It is hinted at/implied that he could be on the spectrum (w what am I talking about hinted at/implied?! This is my OC for petesake!! Hell, I could very much make him on the spectrum if I wanted to! /lh)

-He was born in 1991, therefore he is canonically (if we say the movie takes place in 2023) 32 years old. (so don't even try to pair him with any of the young cast or I will throw you in a river)

-His main role model he looks up to is his late-grandpappy, who used to serve in the millitary as a sailor before retirement, and during his time in work he went to several places around the world through boat. When Ward was a toddler to a young kid he used to spend time with him, and eventually gained aspiration to be just like his grandpapps one day.

-He is not actually fully brittish (I lied, feel free to beat me up), his mother is (or uhhh, was) actually Russian while his father is (was) Brittish, therefore he is a Russian-Brittish immigrant (and somehow during his whole life he didn't learn to speak with an American OR Russian accent, but he does sometimes mix up spelling between the two languages and two spelling ways he knows)

-After the incident for a long time he was banned from ever taking foot off the town and onto the sea ever again, however after taking jobs working on cleaning boats this got slightly redirected and he did infact got the license to use a boat, however only as a fisherman, also he has to wear a electronic ankle-tag while doing it which will infact electrocute him if he goes within a certain radius away from the sea, and will call the nearby workers on the shore to get him away from the ocean (this unfortunately happens a lot due to mishaps to the point this has became such a common practice that sooner or later he might lose his job....d_d b_b...writes this down for ideas) -

-Especially after the incident both his parents grew a deep-disappointment towards him, and this caused him to never be able to reconcile with either of them. Sadly during his 20s, both of them passed away, which was another reason why he had to pick up the fisherman role by taking down the legacy of the job from the family. (Fatherless behavior, Motherless behavior)

-When he was 15-16 (the same age Ruby is rn), he took in the part-time job of being a obstacle-waxer and skatepark cleaner when skateboarding started becoming a craze around the town and they had to construct a park for it. He still has this part-time job as to this day to get more money.

-The reason why his coat is green is because he vividly remembers the incident so much that he could even recount what kind of hue the sea-monster was. This could be because of a way to cope and/or because he believes he became more monster in the process, so he must dress a bit like them in respect for gaining such knowledge of the outside world. (hmmm I wonder which character is green in the movie I wonder.......)

-His several jobs and his dream to find a kraken and to gain knowledge from it on how to be a correct monster might've lead him to be more athletically better and have a better balance but this is irrevelant and won't come back at all in anytime whatsoever.

-He honestly made up a belief that the mermaids in the movie that are told in legends are actually sirens due to their more devious and wrathful nature, while "true" mermaids are actually divine in form, a genuine pleasing to the eye and have the ability to heal one's mind from all the pain (And by "true" mermaids he actually means big shark men who he has like hundreds of posters of plastered around his house, all posing in awfully suspicious positions- Whoopsie doodle!!!)

-He still has the scar from the incident on his forehead, it's just concealed by his hair.

-He always has the stupid ass sailor-tie on his neck, and if he doesn't have it on, then that means something is wrong with him internally

-He watches Shape Of Water avidly.

-Ward collects all his research around his house and sometimes in documented books he created himself (out-of-movie merchandise potentiality!!! Marcy Wu style!!!)

-He still uses a big box computer despite the fact it's 2023

-His house compared to the other buildings in the movie is more outdated, representing how he's still stuck within his pasts beliefs while everyone else has moved on (his house gets destroyed during the climax btw!!!)

-He likes big harmonica music like sailormen do, 1940s to 1980s music and a little bit of 2000s songs
