#sorry this took so long starsy ily thank u for existing

[majjale]

You should DEFINITELY tell me about your ocs!!!

WELL STARSY NOW THAT IM FINALLY NOT USELESS HOW ABOUT I DEFINITELY ANSWER THIS WITH SOME FUN PICTURES TO GO WITH

this is gonna get long lmao i hope readmores work on asks, sorry to all mobile users in advance

FIRST THINGS FIRST these kids have been with me for what, like, five years now?? they’ve got a pretty fleshed out world and plot, im just lazy and Not Satisfied Ever with how i write it, so it’s kinda gone stagnant in the publishing department. they belong to my Rosa Ignis universe, and you can find like 30 pages of a prologue of sorts (that never got finished) at @rosa-ignis​ with some seriously out of date art and plotline. BUT TO GIVE YOU THE MAIN CAST

this is our main character, my first child that was less a self insert and more an independent being, ALICE GLENDOL. she kind of… popped into existence, then dragged the rest of the cast into being with her. i like calling her my catalyst. she’s 18, a fire elemental and fiery at that– chaotic good to true neutral, a hufflepuff, extremely gay, loves her girlfriend, orphaned AND estranged (we’ll get to that), should never be allowed to have sugar, and is a generally cheery person who just wants to act first, ask questions later. she discovers an innate and terrifying ability to perform wordless magic that starts a whole chain of events, leading to mystery, mayhem, murder, and more!

this darling is JASMINE PACCATUM, 19, Alice’s girlfriend, her persnickety other half, the bookworm, the thinker of the two. she’s also fae, trans, gay as hell, and ginger! absolutely in love with Alice and libraries, deeply a ravenclaw with a slytherin side (and best friend), prefers to think things out before acting, bad at jokes, an embarrassingly romantic fool without meaning to be, drinks tea because its #aesthetic, secretly a badass and survived through some heavy shit. also, 6 foot to Alice’s 5′4. she’s probably the hardest for me to write, but i sure love her anyway!!!

no story is complete without a robot companion, so here is PR-14S5 (as it reads on their chest label), affectionately dubbed STATIC for the rasp to their voice. age unknown, but does clock in at 7′ tall. Static is nonbinary– they/them, please– and somewhat of an anomaly. this society isnt technologically advanced to the point of automatons, especially out in the rural coastal towns like Atvon where the story starts, so Static is a curiosity that the little town took a while to acclimatize to. Static is very no-nonsense, the metallic voice of reason, a sassy bot with no time for anyone but their friends and loved ones. in fact, Static doesn’t even know what they’re supposed to have time for! Alice found them in the forest bundled underneath some branches and badly rusted, no instructions included. there are few odds and ends and modes they’ve discovered over the years with the help of Alice, Jaz, and Lucy, all three of whom they would jump in front of a bus for, but their primary function remains a mystery… for now.

this is LUCY OWENS and im gay for my own character. i… i don’t even have an excuse. i’ve just accepted it. Lucy’s been through the most in terms of original design to current development, and i’m so proud of her. her family owned/ran most of Atvon, so she’s kind of like a de facto mayor as well as running the convenience store in town called Bumblebee’s General Store, because of which most of the town refers to her as “Bee.” Alice, Jaz, and Static all work for her, and she and Jaz are best friends! she sees the world in black and white– what works for her and her friends is Good, what doesn’t work for them is Bad, and once she decides its hard to get her to change her mind. luckily, her gut instincts are usually pretty accurate. a slytherin through and through, brusque but friendly, dedicated and loyal, observant as hell and incredibly astute, somehow gayer than all her friends combined, a warrior at heart and an excellent swordsman. her arc/subplot is arguably my favorite, and writing her with Marie or Amretta is… a true joy for me.

stop the fucking presses its my one true tragic favorite MARIE SOLANE, 20 years old, 42nd Majja of Posonet and incidentally where i got my url! “the” Majjale is an annual celebration held in honor of the first Majja’s coronation and the start of the aural traditions… which are too long of explanations for this brief character introduction, and i happen to enjoy being Maj way too much to give it up. anyway! if you see similarities to how i draw myself, that’s deffo on purpose– she was originally a general self insert, until RI was born! i still find her the easiest to write, and her complexities are the most fun for me too, also on purpose lol. she’s a crouching crybaby hidden badass, hufflepuff to the bone, a little too reckless with her life, 5′5 of royal stress, and kind of a figurehead. Amretta, who we’ll get to in a bit, is both Marie’s parental figure and personal Satan– there’s a lot of dangerous history between them, giving us most of the drive behind the main plot’s conflict and several subplots. it’s a dynamic that takes me to some dark places, but makes for Real Good Reading.

ohohohOHOHOHHMHMHMHMHM. AMRETTA MARINER.

she is a mythic bitch.

an elf who worked her way up to be Captain of the Royal Guard and First Adviser to the Crown, AKA self-appointed Marie’s Handler and Lucy’s Doom, Amretta clocks in at 29 years old and 6′2. she’s got a fantastic background of betrayal and bereavement that only continues into her present day, where she’s the number one bad guy for everyone. of course, there’s the political intrigue, the scheming, the plotting, the murder, the mayhem… she’s done some shady shit. absolutely a slytherin, gemini, feared swordsman, legendary torturer, and a shadow ruler who controls the country’s wealthiest and most influential with a raise of her perfectly sculpted eyebrow. not someone to tussle with, so we obviously have to tussle with her. i would pay someone my lifes savings just to see her get decked. i love her design, its so aesthetically my type, but also, i am very afraid of her. she’s excellent.

last on our list for the main cast is MIKAYLA TINARIO, and she’s our… third? Big Drama Source. 19, 5′6, a hella Hermione: “the greatest witch of her generation” gets lets applicable over the course of RI (’cause of Alice) but Mikayla is actually the most powerful, most influential member of the most powerful class of auras in Posonet. i love her a lot, but i don’t always do her justice– she’s hardest for me to draw dynamically besides headshots, so she’s comparatively more developed than the other characters, since i do more writing with her than recreating memes (although i’ve gotten a few good Mikky memes under my belt here). she’s the General of the Royal Magician’s Army, the most prestigious court position one can have besides the Majja herself, and yet she’s Second Adviser– because Amretta be on some SHIT man. a gryffindor, another voice of reason, very loyal and works hard for her friends, an overachiever at heart with a serious (and plot point) inferiority complex, she Knows she looks good but she’s ace af, and although she sympathizes with her friends’ romantic entanglements, she’s really tired can y’all just hold hands and smooch and not bring in the TMI so she can get on with her goddamn day. Mikayla is also Alice’s adoptive sister, and that’s a whole host of issues that this ask has really gotten too long to do. maybe tomorrow, folks.

Mikky’s usually the little voice in my head that chews me out for not doing my homework.

ANYWAY, that’s the main cast of my ocs! there’s so many just for RI, but these guys hang out in the forefront the most, so asked and answered i suppose. PLEASE ASK SOME MORE. I ALWAYS LOVE TALKING ABOUT THESE GUYS, EVEN IF IT TAKES ME MONTHS TO ANSWER STARSY’S QUESTION I NEVER STOPPED THINKING ABOUT IT THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE I HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT OKAY BYE.
