Hopping on this tag from @happypup-kitcat24 :)
OC Assumption Tag
Share one of your characters' name and a quote from them with zero context and let your followers (or other people who stumble upon your post) make assumptions about said character. You can post about more than one character but only one quote for each one for things to stay out of context.
1) Izjik Meautammera
“My name is Izjik Meautammera and I’m not at all wanted by the wealthy Devaris family of Unity. They won’t give you money for my safe and unconscious return. What I am is End’s avatar. It speaks to me, it controls my actions when it wishes. I have killed spirits and Chosen under its command. Immortality shatters beneath the stone of my washava. I have come here to ask for your help in our ultimate endeavor; destroying the gods and all life on this planet. You, your kid, your dog—it’ll all be dead and gone. So, who, uh, who’s with me?”
2) Sepo Kaiacynthus
“I expect you to fight to the bitter end if that’s what it takes, because you might love your husband, your son, but the people on that ship are the reason I’m here today and if your impatience costs them their lives, then believe me when I say I will turn that city down there into a fiery crater when I rip this damn island out of the sky!”
3) Twenari Undetasib/Devaris
“Something to do with gravitation runes and the density of air. It’s brilliant; they combine the magical with the mechanical and get a miracle. Gods, if I could just get a peek inside one of those fans….”
4) Djek Kagura
“Look, my point is, it’s hard to trust a bleeding heart. You figure that you’re too weak for this world, too sensitive, so you get in tight with someone who knows their shit. Someone smart enough to tangle with society and come out on top. You trust them to make decisions for you because they know better. They’re harder, more practical; they don’t balk when there’s bloody work to be done.... The first step in doing good is to let go of those people. You have to learn to listen to that bleeding heart of yours. It’s not soft, it’s not weak; it makes you who you are. A good woman. One who now has the opportunity to go out and make the world better.”
5) Astra DuClaire
“Nah, but I’ve been listenin’ in on your little chat with my friend here. I know I got you real worried ’bout how I figured out how to preserve a mind and you didn’t. And you’re right to worry, which is why I said it before, but all good messages bear repeatin’, so I’ll say it again. I am better than you.”
6) Mashal Darezsho
“I don’t care! I don’t care if you think I’m nothing more than a stepping stone on your path. I don’t care if you don’t think about me at all! But you will come out here and face me, gods damn it! And I’ll make sure I’m the last thing that ever crosses your fucking mind!”
7) Ivander Montane
“I didn’t come after the Surgeon out of the goodness of my heart. I… I didn’t come here to solve your murder or bring anyone to justice. The Surgeon can strip the magic from a sorcerer. I’ve seen the bodies with my own eyes—yours included. I came here hoping he could take the godly magic from me. ...I told you, I’m a selfish man.”
8) Elsind Cavernsight
“I forgive you, too. Just by knowing you, I can tell that your father was a good man. Not a good ruler maybe, but I can honestly say that I believe both of you did the best you could within the system you inherited. Very few nobles I’ve met were ever so, well, noble.”
8) Avymere Spearsong
“We are not retreating. The longer we take to act, the longer the people of Salis—of all of Skysheer—are held in Vermir’s grasp. Every second we waste means the death of another sorcerer whom it is my duty to protect. We push on.”
I like games like these, so ima call all the homies! Consider yourselves no pressure tagged ;)

OC Assumption Tag
Thanks for the tag @illarian-rambling!
Share one of your characters' name and a quote from them with zero context and let your followers (or other people who stumble upon your post) make assumptions about said character. You can post about more than one character but only one quote for each one for things to stay out of context.
1) Narul
“I don’t care! Keep your dreams and your monsters to yourself! I don’t want your simplicity! I don’t want your warmth or your light! I don’t care if I have to live through a thousand thousand years of pain and death! Get out of my head! Let them go!”
2) Ninma
“Let him suffer, he deserves it.”
3) Otilia
“It isn't. I owe you now. I do not know how this sort of thing works for you easterners, but for us, a debt like this is a very serious thing. My name is Otilia, and you're Naro, yes?”
4) Akard
“I may not be able to give them rain or fertility, but I can give them fortune. And I can give them justice.”
5) Wadikir
"Who gave you permission to speak? Who do you think you are? Do you realize how critical it was to this city that the girl was kept in our possession? Do you understand the possible consequences of your incompetence? For this city? For me? The Bidani only keep this city from falling into ruin because our ventures provide the funds necessary to maintain order! First, you let our most precious asset run off and now you think that you have the right to speak without this council’s consent? You have evidently not learned your lesson and I am now convinced that you never could!  I think that you are just what you look like – a pathetic stupid little worm! I propose that for this man’s blatantly idiotic and treasonous behaviour, that his skin be cut from his flesh and his corpse fed to the dogs. All in favor?"
6) Kumad and Zatar
“And if I refuse to fight?” “Then you will die.” “And if I run?” “Then I will hunt you.” “And if I do kill you?” “You won’t.”

Taking you up on your dare/offer benji! Tell me all about your oc Than (I'm a sucker for necromancer things hehe.)
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! Idk how much detail you want but here's the mildly chaotic sparknotes of their lore
Questions about anything or anyone mentioned in this post are welcome as well :)) this is a lot
Than (uses all pronouns) is a part of a homebrew campaign my friends and I started a month ago and they are everything to me
(Outfit redesign so far :3 face and hair redesign in progress, and I'm probably going to make their clothes less vibrant)
Tumblr media
In life, Than (full name Thanatos Pyre) was an acolyte of Etrix, the goddess of death. (Etrix is HEAVILY based off of Kelemvor (because of my influence >:3c) if you're familiar with DND lore.) He provided funeral services and healing to those in need and lived in a temple with their family.
Tumblr media
Acolyte robes featuring Anubis (eldest brother), Mors (Than's very large twin), and Hecate (little sister)
Both of Than's parents are priests and their older brother Anubis was trying to become one as well. (Their best friend/crush was about to be a priest too.) Etrixian priests are the only ones permitted to provide merciful death and they are also tasked with killing the undead :)
Tumblr media
Indoor priests robes featuring Mother Maveth and outdoor priests robes featuring Fathet Hawthorn. Than is about Hawthorn's height (slightly shorter than Anubis)
For context Etrix has some beef with her brother Rhytar, the god of necromancy, because she HATES undeath, so of course their worshipers also have beef... :)
Than was murdered by a Rhytarian half-elf necromancer named Vallana Siannodel (during an attack on the Etrixian temple but that's a long story) and kept as essentially a pet for five years. As a reborn/undead, they've lost most of their memories and the memories they do have are vague. They know they were a worshiper of Someone but they don't know who, they know there was an attack on their temple and they feel responsible for it but they don't know why, and they know they had friends and family but faces/names elude them entirely.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reborn under the control of necromancers very rarely regain autonomy, HOWEVER, Than was able to escape and they've essentially been on their own for a year prior to the story of the campaign. He's confined to the city of Nightborough (homebrew as well) because it's all they know, but they avoid the inner city to evade Vallana and mostly stick to the slums. They're compelled to recite prayer/provide funeral services for the dead without really knowing why. (The funeral prayer is ingrained into them, and they only recall pieces of other prayers.) In exchange for essentially free funeral services and healing, some people offer shelter. She became friends with the deep gnome Shortspark family, specifically the eldest son Bellpepper Jr., after attempting to heal and providing funeral services for the youngest Poppy Jr. Because of Bellpepper Jr., Than is able to escape Nightborough entirely and go on our adventure :)
Than functions as a bard but only because of Vallana's influence. If Rhytarian attack didn't happen, they would have been a cleric.
The party has hilariously only Very Recenty discovered Than's undead nature because they passed enough perception checks to realize she Doesn't Breathe Or Eat. It's a surprise they didn't notice earlier because she's SO clueless about most things but we've managed to have a firbolg who's even MORE clueless than Than.
Anyway that is the shortest version I could come up with without sacrificing comprehensiblity <33 Thank you for asking!!!!!!

ACTUALLY you should tell us about your dnd characters (any of your choice. Or all of them)
Do you only use them in dnd or do you use them as OCs for other things too?
OKAY, if you so want it 😌
They're just dnd characters, never used beyond the campaign. I don't have OC's in the way you might think. I create side/supporting characters for my fics or dnd characters to play but they only exist in that context. I don't create headcanons or art or talk about them beyond that like I "own" them.
I've even drawn some of my dnd characters during sessions for fun as well as everyone else's characters. I have kept all my dnd sheets over the past ten years and its getting a bit thick.
Tumblr media
Let's try going chronologically order (to the best of my memory)
Annabelle Montgomery VII (f)
Race & Class: Dwarf Ranger
Accent: child, higher pitched
Fun fact: 14 children in her family, all of them named either Annabelle or Craig. Liked chasing squirrels into the forest at a whim (to explain why I was gone for long periods of time while I was away at university).
Tumblr media
Rizzo Ravioli (m)
Race & Class: Halfling Fighter
Accent: 1950's Greaser
Fun fact: wore a leather jacket and had slicked back black hair. Just devious. A little nuisance guy. Said something so insulting to one of the other characters that she rolled to slap and got a nat 20. I saw God with that slap.
Olivander Swolkin (m)
Race & Class: Human Bard
Accent: none (it was going to be British then there happened to be a real life breathing British person put in our dnd group. I threw that idea away quick to avoid the embarassment)
Fun fact: a performer who played the saxophone under the stage name Oli Swole. Handsome beyond believe. Was dancing with a girl when she got stolen away by one of the other characters. Absolutely cucked.
Aurora Maravella (f)
Race & Class: Half-elf sorcerer
Accent: none
Fun fact: Of noble background with wild magic. Developed motherly relationship with one of the other player characters. Had a golem she also treated like a child. One of the players made little clay figures for everyone. Aurora is now a permanent fixture shoved in the plastic container of the only set of dice I use.
Tumblr media
Benni Bartok (m)
Race & Class: Halfling Rogue
Accent: the exact voice from the funny little bat in the Anastasia movie
Fun fact: Just a guy. But like, good this time. Only a bit of a criminal due to his background, but just a guy. Absolutely loved doing the accent. Everyone's fun uncle. I want to bring him back again.
Sheriquin Florenzio (f)
Race & Class: Half-orc Barbarian
Accent: judgmental
Fun fact: Only played once actually. But she was like, a pretty orc. Had one funny moment where I was talking to a nerd kid and I poured my ramen into his overfilling it. You had to be there.
Kai Dwyn-Eyre (f)
Race & Class: Triton Warlock
Accent: None
Fun fact: Warlock but Intelligence based. Out there to learn and be a scribe. Got the recipe for goat cheese. Hell yeah. It's possible something happened to her family. Idk
Jackie Justice (f)
Race & Class: Human Fighter
Accent: deeper voice, dude-bro
Fun fact: Drinks her own breast milk. That uhh... that kind of accidentally happened. My friends won't let me live that one down. Talks a lot about the old "college buddies".
Tumblr media
Marigold Abernathy (f)
Race & Class: Human Ranger / Dilettante Harlequin when we switched to Pulp Cthulhu
Accent: Posh British
Fun fact: Part of the 1950's housewives campaign. Had an affair with the hot blacksmith Jack because her husband was awful but it turns out Jack was just being paid off to keep her busy. She killed Jack upon hearing this (girl power). Fell in love at age 15 to a boy her her father would never accept (because racism) and sent to boarding school when she became pregnant. Baby was given up and never seen again. Had to learn to become a mother when her husband (before he died due to zombies, dont worry about it) adopted a random French child that didn't speak any English. But the relationship between Marigold and Geneviève naturally grew and now she loves the child. Always looking for a nice man to actually love her.

I mostly play dnd just for the improv roleplay and coming up with weird ways to solve a problem, im not super into historical lore or fighting. Worldbuilding is hit or miss but it should be fun and grounded. I care so much more about the quirky person selling me shoes that I can talk to about their wife leaving them and encourage him to yes, finally ask the bar maid out, than I do about patrons or gods or planes of existence or prophecies or things like that.
there they are
i also DM'd a oneshot once and came prepared with maps and puzzles and music and physical notes that people could find and read.

I realized i never specified on Orion's relationship with those three so i might as well
Detailed hcs + close ups under cut
Tumblr media
Orion + Abigail
Sibling dynamic all the way
They fight, they prank each other (and others), and they love each other
A menace to society together and apart
Orion is insistent on teaching her magic and she is ecstatic to try
They play together at the secret forest because it has the ✨vibes✨
Orion annoys Abigail everytime she's with Sebastian because she gets annoyed and it's funny
Abigail retaliates by annoying him with Sam which causes Orion to go into a little fantasy world for about an hour
Pierre won't allow Orion into the store because when he was a kid he accidentally turned him into a pigeon and started chasing him while giggling
This is how Abigail and Orion met
Also when the wizard gave him a stern talk about not listening to her Mom when she encourages him to break havoc
Abigail is the only one who Orion told about his crush on Sam
The only one he TOLD because everyone else (except Sam) noticed anyways
Tumblr media
Orion + Sebastian
I genuinely believe that making spells is comparable to programing
So they talk a lot about how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to go right
Vent a lot with each other about their family problems and their proyects and stuff
They tried to make Sebastian's motorcicle fly while high at least once
They landed in prison (literally)
Sebastian isn't one to ask him favors because he knows how busy he is and likewise Orion doesn't ask much of Sebas for the same reason
They're both very respectful of each other's boundaries
Sebastian's basement isn't one of them tho, Orion spends most of his time there because is comfy and he doesn't have to worry about his father barging in
Tumblr media
Orion + Sam
OK so Orion is head over heels with Sam
Absolutely smitten, a little cliche, whatever way you want to call it
Sam is a little too oblivious about it
Which is weird because he's not dumb but you know, somehow he doesn't even notice
Sam is constantly experimenting tunes with Orion since he is basically a magic bard
They have fun, sadly they can't do it often because Orion is often busy
Sam forgets about stuff easily and Orion helps him to keep up with them
Sam never forgets about that homework due tomorrow with Orion around!
Which sucks but is for the greater good
Orion doesn't even try to hide his feeling for Sam
In the context of the game, if you start dating Sam and you are uncomfortable with his crush, Orion will back away
Or at least he'll do his best to hide it as much as he can
He may not interact much with Sam as a result but such is life
There's another SDV oc named Orion that is shipped with Sam and i had no idea when i made the character but i find it extremely funny

Fey wilds????
Do you play DND? :o
I'd love to hear more!
Tumblr media
I do play D&D! I’m play a Half-Orc Bard Named Morc the Orc™️©️! (The trademark and copyright are on the birth certificate)
૮꒰˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶꒱ა˖⁺‧₊˚
Any since you asked for more here we go!:
The Fae Wilds are a domain connected to Mond filled with - you guessed it - Fae! Though they are… less than friendly.
I took a lot of inspiration from German folk tales and legends, as well as a few others from regions surrounding it! I didn’t directly copy any, as I wanted to create my own (though in the end I may end up keeping a few, or at least making nods to them)
The fae wilds aren’t fully developed but they are getting there!
A few of the legends are as follows:
“The Weeping Woman” : A tale of a woman who was engaged to the love of her life, her wedding day came round and her husband died of a mysterious illness. This left her to weep for days on end. She wandered the grassy landscape surrounding Mondstadt, calling out to her dead lover. One day, the pain and anguish became too great and as such, she there herself off the top of StarSnatch Cliff. They say that you can hear her sobs around the cliffs of the Fae Realm. Those who head her call are sent barreling down a cliff into rock waters below. For children, they may be snatched up a stolen away, forever bound to her by watery chains, to be the children she could never have with her fiancée.
The only way to dispel her is to show her your true love (she could never knowingly separate lovers), show her a picture of herself before she died (she will get distracted and begin fixing her appearance for her love), or a picture of her fiancée (she will be distracted and give you enough time to run)
“The Dancer”: A teen boy who adored dancing for the people of Mondstadt. He would dance day in and day out. That was, until his father told him that his dancing was lackluster at best. He forced himself to continue dancing, and dancing, and dancing until he fell dead in a useless attempt to gain his father’s love and respect. The Fae Wilds took him not long after. Now if you hear old Mondstadtian music flowing on the winds on a particularly cold night, you will be met by him. In which he will beg and plead for a dance. Should you dance with him, however, he will attempt to steal your legs in order to replace his own, so he may dance better to appease his father.
How to dispel his is to either introduce him to a new dance (he will grow obsessed with learning it, only downside is that when he does learn it, you can no longer use that dance as an excuse) or to quite simply tell him you can’t dance. He may be pushy, but if you continue to say you can’t, he will eventually leave you be.
“Army of Death”: A literal army of undead churls. Hili, mita and lawachurls who have been brought back via the wild magics of the Fae, filled with an unending need for bloodshed. They cannot die. They cannot rest. Should you head the battle horn of churl camp? Run.
There is no known way to dispel them. Best you can do is throw a few (or many) pieces of meat and prey.
“The Shop”: Just a little shop on the outskirts of the Wilds!~… Why is that bottle filled with the skin of my relatives :)?
Really nothing you can do. Either you buy something or get out! Of course, they sell anything your heart desires, from ores to fake visions! You can find it all in the shop!
The Fae Wilds are filled with legend after legend, most passed down through families. A few manage to slip through the border that is guarded by Detleif (centaur OC), and that’s why there are rules/quick fixes for meeting them! The duty of keeping the majority of the Fae in the wilds falls on the High Priest. He should spend the most of his week in the Wilds ensuring they don’t pass, keeping the more dangerous Fae in the wilds.
For context about the history really quick: The Wilds were once intertwined with Mondstadt, and there were a few human settlements inside its borders. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean either we’re on good terms, but it was enough to not be constantly fighting. Eventually Celestia decided to be the bitch it is, and try to be rid of it, not seeing the purpose of its existence. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned and they only ended up corrupting the realm. Fae attacks weren’t that common before, but after that it was a daily occurrence. Nearly every hour really.
The unfortunate thing? Ludwig lived in one of these settlements, and his whole family ended up dying around him. This turned their angered souls into Fae, but now he spends his days killing his family over and over and over and over and over and over…
Beyond that, I don’t have too much else to add about the Fae Wilds. As I said, it’s still a bit underdeveloped, but I work on it daily!
☆૮꒰ˊᗜˋ* ꒱ა
Thank you for the ask! I love talking about my baby <3 ૮꒰⸝⸝> ̫ <⸝⸝꒱ა

Oc asks: betrayal, ghost for mel!
betrayal: Has your OC ever been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust? Has your OC ever betrayed someone who trusted them?
Once, after we'd finished a session, there was a brief semi-canon in-character conversation where the fighter said something about the trustworthiness of our bard, and Melliwyk countered, good-humoredly, 'I like Quinton very much, but I wouldn't describe him as trustworthy.' So... when, a few sessions later, he tried to use Suggestion on her to hand over an item containing the soul of an ancient copper dragon to the emissary of an ancient evil black dragon, in front of the whole party all of whom were against it, it wasn't a betrayal by someone she trusted. Strictly speaking.
She'd miscalculated how far keeping his trust in her would get her, and the value of keeping all his shady secrets and stupid ideas when asked so that he'd keep confiding them in her. She thought the best way to handle him was to know what he was up to, and that he was only dangerous where he lacked good sense. He TOLD her about wanting to sell out Ratatoskr behind the party's back because he thought he could get her in cahoots on the deal, and she told him that presented way more risk than reward to be worth it, including the almost certain loss of the party's trust-- and she STILL didn't tell on him about it to anyone else. And then he turns around and tries to brainwash her into doing it anyway.
She uh. No longer likes him very much.
ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?
I got this one twice so I'm only gonna do half my answer :D Pre-campaign Melliwyk was in fact! literally haunted by an actual ghost! Buying a haunted house gave her a place to live in a country with extremely limited real estate, and privacy from the locals (except the occasional kids coming around on a dare). Since she didn't believe he was real, she lived with her ghost extremely comfortably and amicably, teasingly blaming him for misplaced objects or telling him to settle down whenever the wind made weird noises (... the 'wind'...), or asking what he thought of an experimental design she was working on if Baxter didn't happen to be in the room to bounce friendly one-sided conversations off of.
WHAT HAPPENED is that 1) we learned on our adventures that ghosts are extremely real; 2) we went to Mel's house as a party after new information brought context to some stuff that was there was she moved in, indicating that it might contain vital plot clues; 3) the ghost went berserk for plot reasons when we arrived, and by fighting him we were able to restore his sanity and bring him peace, but doing so also allowed him to pass to the next world. So, Mel's house is no longer haunted, and she never got a chance to talk to him after learning that he was real the whole time-- but he did pass on the message, before disappearing, that he was going to miss having her as a roommate.
He had been, in life, a silver dragonborn paladin named Ildrex; her homunculus servant, Drex, is named for him.
ask me about my OCs!!

1. oh damn I have multiple favorites! I think ones that I enjoy the most (at the moment) are them
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(yellow: Lee Harrison | blue: Bryan Dickinson)
they are basically a (in the 2000s) newbie punk band formed by two friends who are like brothers to each other. they bonded over both having not so great families (not like tragic-backstory awful but yknow. the average traditional family)
yeah I still can't figure out what their band name would be. yeah since 2020. sorry. such is life.
while they're not the ones I've wrote the most about, as in not much at all, I just really like them :)
2. Bartholomew. I used to like him then I realize how generic he is so I hate him now (/j) (yeah I actually do want to post about him less though)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. been thinking about the dynamic normal human x immortal who finds them in every life. so simple and common but I go insane over it every time. I think it would be fun
4. ohohohoho man ok here are some in no particular orders
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Time & Denial core, Denial/Dan (black hair, also the last image) is by @/ akamavarii
they were basically our coresonas, but they've became their own characters at this point so I think it counts
friends who commits OSHA violations together!!!
they share 1 brain cell and takes turns over it like an Xbox (quote from ami himself)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Iandithas & Lumeous (if you noticed one of the name changed its bc I did)
a bard & a wizard duo who are retired and are now a shopkeeper & a chemist
its funny I care about them this much bc Lumeous was supposed to be a dad and a side character to my other oc and Iandithas was a doodle of a random guy and now they mean the world to me
there have been like 5 people who pointed out that they look like a couple and you're right and I fucking hate that you're right. and they were roommates etc
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overseer / Conqueror
this one is new very obviously but I've been thinking about them for a LONG while.
friends to lovers to enemies heehoo heehoo heehoo heehoo heeh
can you tell I like it when queer relationships
5. Fakzky HAS to have my favorite origin. fun fact there's a bot on facebook that would combine the names of their followers (only if they request, don't worry) and it was my source of inspo for my fantroll names in 2020, Fakz is the only one I took completely from it and the post is still there!
Tumblr media
6. the 35 awesome and cool animatics that exists in MY mind
7. oh man I don't wanna say something sad :( mostly bc I'm bad at it and it would sound cringe :(

Tumblr media
(Dias Cain Jael in that order btw)
9. hmmm them I think. I make stuff about them way less nowadays but still draw them time to time. Cath is from 2018 and funnily is originally a fusion of two characters. and Danya is from early 2021 when I was just trying stuff out. I made them friends just cuz I think they look like they would do drugs together
Tumblr media
10. I have no idea man I created them not know them (I am so so bad at this)

OC Masterpost
Since the first one is outdated but I wanted to keep the information in it available, it's time for a sequel~! As with the last one, this is a collection of information about my little brain people that I like to draw and talk about, specifically ones who are currently active. Since these characters are active, I'll easily be able to answer asks both about and addressed to them, and this should serve as a quick reference point for if I mention any of them without other context. This time I've also embedded links to image references in their names so I can have those without cluttering the post.
Valerie Wester (Val) (She/Her), a Witch for Rifters (Monsterhearts), the hot mess express herself, the oc I talk about the most here in my #val stories tag. Poster girl for women's wrongs and fucking around. Evil bisexual and monsterfucker on main. Absolutely convinced she's the voice of reason while being the single most unhinged person she knows. Down bad for a werewolf with no idea how to handle it.
Echo of Starlight (She/Her), a drow Bard for Arctera: the Starlight Paradox (D&D), who's honestly just here for a good time. She sings, she tells stories, she has severe memory issues and difficulty in distinguishing dreams from reality, and she sparkles~! Her solution to most problems is being where the problem isn't, which often involves turning invisible and sneaking away.
Alison Whitby (She/Her), a Necromancer for the Lost Soul Chronicles (D&D) who specialises in Osteomancy and is a fairly direct Locked Tomb reference. A half-lich created by an egotistical wizard to be his successor, she aims to become the greatest necromancer of her generation through the power of bone constructs, impromptu surgery, and daddy issues.
Harper Lewis (She/Her), a Godbinder for DIE who has been turned from a human into a tiefling by the magic of isekai and is unashamedly into it (average transwoman behaviour tbh). She's made fast friends with the god of Trickery and plans to make that everyone else's problem. She once nearly got disbarred for making her opponent cry in court.
Camilla Asche (Cam) (She/Her), a Blood Hunter for Curse of Strahd (D&D) who is being kept alive by celestial magic after a Too Angry To Die moment. After failing to save her ward when falling into Ravenloft, she is dead set on making sure no one else fucking dies under her watch, even if that means she has to burn through the magic holding her body together to save them.
Ilia Celestis (She/Her), a tengu Sorcerer for Zephyrnos (D&D) who has been sent by her people to sort of spy on the organisation exploring this "new" land. The people who used to live their accidentally wiped themselves out through hubris, and Ilia is here to make sure they fucking stay wiped out. She uses the magic of storms, and her pride has got her into far too many stupid situations.
Aurora Zephuros (She/Her), a pirate I play in D&D oneshots. She isn't linked to any particular setting and most times I play her are one-off events, so the philosophy of "fuck it, it's a oneshot" runs strong in her playstyle. Aurora's MO is to be hot and swordfight and she does it so well. Even aside from those, she has a few extra tricks up her sleeve for when she needs a little more gaslight with her girlboss.
I have several more characters just hanging out in my brain, who will get added to this post if they become active enough to warrant it.

Pinned post!! Important!!
Hellooo, I'm Apricot (or Arrow if u feel like using my irl name). My username is Apricot.the.Apricat or Apricot_Apricat on most sites but tumblr just. wouldnt let me.
I mostly post about my own OCs here but may occasionally do fandom stuff too. My main/personal blog is @apricottheapricat but I basically only reblog stuff there and nothing else, if you wanna send me an ask or something -especially if it's about ocs!!- do it here instead.
|| ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ ||
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Commissions: OPEN [Link to commissions post]
|| ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ ||
I'm currently very into Rain World, but I'm always down to talk about Minecraft or The Long Dark or the Shelter franchise (if anyone has even heard of those last two TwT) and I'll probably end up posting stuff here about any other games I'm interested in too. Basically if I mention a game here at all ever I probably very much like it, even if it's not as much as those four. Oh and HLVRAI too.
Firm believer in that every Rain World fan is also a Hollow Knight fan (or has been at some point) and I have yet to be proven wrong.
|| ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ ||
Tags I use a lot:
#my art/#my ocs: Self-explanatory, it's the stuff that's mine. The only distinction to make here is that I don't tag every oc-related post as #my ocs, even though they are, only posts with art in them. Otherwise I only tag each specific oc by name. (its for tag search purposes)
#oc lore: Important canon stuff, either story or worldbuilding. Mostly long posts, replies to lore-related asks and whatever else I feel is important/significant enough to go in this tag. What doesn't go in here are random ask game answers -even if theyre canon- or what-if scenarios or modern au for example.
|| ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ ||
Basic worldbuilding stuff/context:
My oc universe is a medieval fantasy type setting. Magic exists and is a set of skills you can learn like you could any other skill, not everyone knows it and not everyone bothers learning it. All of my main ocs live in one kingdom together (the Lanternlight Kingdom) ruled by one queen and her royal court, who are basically a few of her friends advisors who she herself picks to be part of her court.
None of the people in my universe are fully human, they have a human form which is that catgirl-type-thing and an animal form which is basically a talking quadrapedal (or- well- not anthro) animal. They can change forms at will and most people swap between the two multiple times per day. Wild/normal non-people animals are called 'feral' animals, or 'ferals', since if you just say 'animal' you could just be referring to a person in animal form and that would very quickly get confusing.
|| ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ || ~-~ ||
Ref sheets (OLD):
Rivulet (serval, alchemist, my sona)
Zephyr (bird, works for maeve)
Harold ("fish", bard)
Arachne (spider, royal court)
Maeve (hyena, queen)
(these aren't all of my ocs theyre just the only ones I've made refs for so far)

Headcanon meme~ Put a symbol (or several) and a character/characters in my ask box, and I’ll give you a headcanon. ~~~~~~ For this I'm going to choose my comfort Baldur's Gate 3 tav, Lore. In addition to this headcanon dive, let me preface it with some lore on Lore, to give a little context. ((sorry, but sometimes I have to be extra with my OCs who are very detailed in their backstory))
Lore (birth name, Glynnis Abernathy) is a tiefling abjuration wizard, and a knowledge domain cleric (patron goddess, Mystra). Before, and after the events of BG3 (this is character history I worked on well before the release of the game and decided to integrate it into the storyline), Lore works as an archivist in a library/archive/magical shop that specializes in the care of magical books, books on magic/history of magic, etc., as well as the crafting of grimoires and other items wizards and other spellcasters require (very much like Sorcerous Sundries, but on a smaller scale). This little shop is in an unnamed locale somewhere in Faerun--possibly along the Swordcoast, I haven't decided, but definitely not in Baldur's Gate or Waterdeep. As a side hustle to her work as an archivist, she offers services to record the tales of adventurers, not unlike a bard but without the theatrics and embellishment, for historical purposes. And sometimes, she will travel with adventures to record their adventures as they happen, at times doing so for free if the adventure is grand enough. Hence why her chosen name as a tiefling is 'Lore'. Lore has a home just outside that unnamed town, and here she returns post BG3 adventure--with Astarion in tow, and Halsin spiritually as he is off doing his own necessary work elsewhere. Both she considers her husbands. Astarion lives with Lore full time, and to accommodate his needs, she adopts a more crepuscular/night owl leaning lifestyle. This way, they can spend time together, since Asty can't be out in the daylight. And should they want to do so, Lore will create the illusion of a sunny day for them to enjoy. Lore, like Gale, is not the tidiest person with all her wizardly things, and always has a mess of papers everywhere, which irks Astarion a bit. He doesn't fuss or try to change anything, though. Instead he tidies up Lore's organized chaos where it is; stacks the blank sheets of paper, scrolls, and tomes for transcribing on her desk and work tables; stores the quills in their respective bases, makes sure the inkwells are filled and sealed so they don't dry out. Brings Lore a snack in case she forgot to eat. Just the sassiest little vampire househusband. And he takes it upon himself, with Lore's permission and tastes in mind, to freshen up the homestead. New bedding, curtains, decorative pillows, etc. Together they reorganize Lore's bookshelves so she has more space for her writing. This is all just the main part of the house, though. With Halsin in mind, knowing he'll come for extended visits when Lore and Astarion aren't periodically traveling to see him, Lore and Astarion build him an outdoor sanctuary in their back garden, with a large open air gazebo/cabin combo attached to the main house. Very druidy, lots of plants and flowers, and with large enough space so he can do bear stuff. Very much something Halsin would approve of. All three can either sleep inside the main house, or they can sleep in Halsin's breezy backyard druid hut, surrounded by nature.

Fionna and cake Alternate universe pt.2
While we are making alternate versions of people, let us start with the long ass pantheon, starting with who I care about from least to greatest. Okay.
So we learn in the episode, “Bonnie and Neddy” that they are born of the Mother Gum, in which we learn not too much later that this takes place in tandem with “simon and marcy”, where the mother gum gives Simon and Marcy soup to eat. If the timelines sync, like they did when Marciline became “the Star” in that one universe then I believe it would be reasonable that by this time, Bonnie and Neddy have already begun creating the candy kingdom and would have at least started some kind of civilization that people would flock to.
Prior to writing this, I came across multiple timelines that were mapped out that suggest otherwise, but for the sake of SHUT UP, we will go with what was shown and suggested based off of the show.
Perhaps hearing about said civilization, Marcy and Simon would begin to head that way but Simon would end up losing himself to the crown a while away. Perhaps on the way, Marcy would have bumped into the humans who planned on making a small civilization of their own, meeting the next father figure in her life, the human Two Bread Tom. 
If people flocked to the Candy Kingdom, there is a chance that some of them would go on to look into finding cures, studying arcane, and other sorts of research alongside Boni and other scholars, something that we know to be in their best interest. This leads to the crowning of Doctor Princess, who came to the kingdom sick and looking for a check up and ends up staying and working under multiple royalty.
Oh, I guess this is the best time to talk about Shoko. About 100 years into the Candy Kingdom, we learn of a mercenary named Shoko who had gotten close to boni, eventually becoming friends before snagging a necklace from her during a slumber party and falling in the acidic water below her balcony when she tried to run after getting caught by the gumball guardians. 
I’d like for this to stay canon. 
Except for the origins of Shoko, instead of randomly being hired by some random gang, i’d like for her to have been given to the Bandit Princess, the illegitimate daughter of The king of thieves, feeling as if her birthright had been stolen from her. This would make her a common antagonist within Ooo.
We also know that at this time, Marcy takes up fighting vampires to protect the human civilization and eventually defeats the vampire king and is bitten, becoming the last vampire. I’d like to say that she had helped in this endeavor and created some ocs but of course, I'm going to have to put that on pause.
Marceline to me was always the badass bard who traveled Ooo, fighting monsters and raising morale, so I think it would be all the more prominent that she's well known within Ooo. I would have her go along with her band, performing concerts, and like in canon, she meets boni at one of them and courts her with one of her shirts.
As the Candy Kingdom is built, so are others around the area. With little to no context, I’d like to list some of them and their little to no significance.
Lady Rainicorn and the Cotton Candy Princess, who live in the cotton candy forests that surround the kingdom. While not really important lore wise, we know that the Cotton candy Princess was kidnapped at one point of time and saved by the hero Billy which helps him get his name off the ground as hero, so…
Ghost, Skeleton, and Raggedy Princess all live near a graveyard, which I will dubbed the Undead Kingdom. You’ll find Marceline’s cave within this area, which keeps it on theme and will be inhabited by the ghost, skeletons, and undead that we are used to seeing Marceline hang out with. There is Beautiful Princess as well, despite her not being a real princess.
The Slime kingdom is in an underground cavern where a highway bridge used to link up. It was rumored that she wanted to be the ambassador of the animal kingdom, which i would’ve liked to see an arc for but alas we did not. 
After a magic bolt of lightning is struck down in the middle of the desert, Desert Princess asks Boni to look into it, calling it an “anomaly”. Boni brings Marcy along, which has them meet the Glass Kingdom. They come back within the next hundred years when said kingdom would get attacked by the dragon, kicking off the events in Obsidian.
I’m also changing the design of Desert Princess because SHUT UP. they did that girl dirty.
Oh! And a place called “PARTY CENTRAL”, where the Bounce House princess and Skateboard Princess resides. This is a hub where parties are held, built in an abandoned carnival or amusement park. After the episode that introduces Party Pat, we would come to recognize this kingdom within canon.
We would also have a cloud kingdom, known to have where the Slumber, Lullaby, and Nightmare princesses reside. Like the name suggests, they live within the clouds and are known for taking long naps, high above a lake where the water nymphs and Water Princess live.
And finally, the Kingdom of Nuts and Bolts, a kingdom within a large dense forest where the Nut Kingdom, Wildberry Kingdom, and Jungle Princess. We would come to know this as the same place that Huntress Wizard also presides in.
Near the Ocean, we would come to find the Turtle kingdom. And in the middle of the ocean, you guessed, you’d find the  Ocean and Lamprey Princess.
Clear? Clear. I left some out on purpose, so plot worthy, some not.

Thank you so much for this...I'm ASTOUNDED. First @newtia gifts me the most beautiful artwork of my Durge, Destri, and now @melvinthedepressedrobot - a real life bard made a SONG ABOUT MY OC, LILLA! This is so sweet, and I'm absolutely floored - I think I've been treated better in the BG3/Gortsimp community than any other video game community I've ever been in. You people are the nicest, I can't get over it.
So while speaking with @melvinthedepressedrobot about our OC's (theirs being Wyn from the Kissing Booth Fic!), they said they were inspired by a dynamic Lilla has with ol' Gortash. I know my fic is a smut, but I also put a lot of work into it lore-wise (I'm sure there are things I did wrong, but still), and a lot of heart in it character-wise; so I'm absolutely blown away it has somehow inspired an actual song! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was going to respond with a Lilla RP about keeping a bard in the basement to write Gortash a love song, but I can't help but feel too sentimental to be silly about it! For context, I'll add an excerpt from the fic below! It's , but very self-indulgent and probably not even really in character for Gort (but the self-indulgent part is the most important, LOL!
Gortash is essentially perturbed by the concept of Lilla's unconditional love not being 'genuine,' because she was essentially created by Bane to serve his chosen. This is ironic, imo, since there's an undercurrent of his desire to be loved that ties in with the tadpole/mind control - and he doesn't seem to care much about the integrity of that love xD. So as you can imagine- PAINFULLY and shamelessly self indulgent on my part.
It's not smutty, but there's some romance and mature content. (and embarrassing for me but someone wrote a song so I'm rootin' and tootin' <.> )
----
(Note, he's changing the sheets because Destri waltzes in all bloody all, the time and ruining his rug and sheets, to his dismay.)
Gortash was changing his sheets, awaiting Destri to finish reading Lilla’s dossier while she soaked in his bath. She read silently, until finally getting to the very last document; a letter written by the former Black Gauntlet of a sect of Banites in Calimshan. The previous documents indicated they performed magical religious experiments away from the bustling population, and took up in some sandy ruins within a hidden oasis in the desert northeast of Calimport.
The report was dated near twenty-five years ago; she read it aloud:
“To the next Faithful who finds this report, it is imperative this information stay classified, and only available to those at the highest ranks of the temple.
Bane had tasked us with an experiment to breed a child of His blood, in His name. We have done so with the intent to raise the child under Bane’s Edict, but have failed in doing so. 
While this child-oracle is indeed infused with the will to seek out the next Chosen, and serve them with undying passion as their bodyguard and vassal, we have run into difficulties with applying the Edict to her curriculum.
Her parents were the first to reject teaching the Edict to the child; unable to subject her to the harshness required to grow strong with Bane’s will, and therefore have been executed in shame, accordingly.
However, the girl was taken into the care of another Banite overseer - selected for his abject ruthlessness, but he too was unable to subject the child to the Edict. He was found lacking in duty, and was caught treating her like a weak, civilian child; feeding her sweets, playing music and reading with her - essentially loving her unconditionally, as a father would. 
The overseer was executed as well, but we soon learned that no Banite in the sect was able to treat the child with fear and loathing. In fact, every Faithful -such as we were- found they were only able to regard the child with love and care, and recoiled at any pain inflicted upon her when attempting to subject her to Bane’s teachings.
We have reason to believe the experimental ritual had an inverse effect -rather than spurring on the hateful ruthlessness befitting a Banite, the child draws love from others… even against their knowledge. We believe she is an abomination to Bane, and she must be executed to hide his shame, but we were unable to bring ourselves to commit such an act against her. 
Acknowledging that we had failed in our unholy task, but could not dispose of her, we instead erased the child’s memories, and sent her to the steps of an Ilmater temple within Calimport. This was in hopes to provide her a better life, under the care of more suitable subjects. At the time of writing this report, I have reason to believe the girl is being transported somewhere north, to some distant Ilmater temple, and away from the slaver society of Calimport.
Our sect has agreed unanimously to commit our souls to Banehold in shame, so that our lord can judge our spirits. We have accepted this wholly, and only wish that the girl finds a loveable home, and a better life. We have learned love is too precious a thing to snuff out, and are within sound mind to admit we have failed Bane in all regards. Pray for our souls, as we acknowledge the eternal suffering we will endure at His Black Hand.
Dreadmaster Amedius Kharne”
A long silence followed once Destri completed reading the letter aloud…Gortash waited in an armchair while she read it again quietly, while soaking in the tub. After a few more moments of silence, Destri began to laugh her flowery laugh. It was musical, and pleasant, but Gortash furrowed his brow. 
“It’s rather not that funny…” he insisted.
“It’s a little funny!” Destri continued to laugh, deeper and harder as the information hit her. It tickled her stomach, and the absurdity washed over her in layers, causing her to laugh more and more. “You were right about one thing, tyrant,” she chuckled, holding her stomach as her laughs made the warm water around her ripple, “Lilla was made for you! She found the Chosen of Bane…”
Gortash ran a hand through his messy black hair. She was right…Lilla was indeed infused with Bane’s will in some way…but it had been incomplete; incorrect. Bane had made some dire mistake. 
Destri lifted the letter over her head, reading through it again, and laughing even harder, “Bane really fucked this one up…”
Gortash said nothing while clenching his fist uncomfortably.  
“Lilla was supposed to accept your tyrant god’s teaching, but every single Banite in that sandy old church couldn’t bear to treat her poorly…she’s quite literally TOO GOD-DAMNED LOVEABLE! BAH! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!” She flung her head back onto the cushion, clasping a hand to her forehead with glee.
Gortash only cleared his throat, unable to argue.
“You know what this means?” Destri asked him, craning her neck so she could see him better, “You were worried this whole time that Lilla’s love for you wasn’t genuine…and maybe you are right…But you never stopped to think that your love for her wasn’t of your own free will either!”
Gortash glowered…he hated not feeling in control of his emotions…even if the revelation wasn’t entirely negative for him personally, it had dire implications on the Banite church…and Bane himself. 
“All this time, you were drawn to Lilla as much as she was drawn to you…you had no choice in the matter…” Destri emitted another fresh batch of laughter, making Gortash clench his fist. 
“If you’re quite finished…”
“Oh, I certainly am not,” Destri assured him, “This is too good. She is truly a Banespawn!”
“Good grief…” Gortash murmured, irritated.
“This is why Bane wanted to get rid of her…” Destri realised, confirming Gortash’s discontent, “He was scared of her…or he couldn’t bear someone so loveable came from his own making…”
She wasn’t wrong…and the revelation brought on more concern regarding his faith than he had dared to consider. It explained why Bane wanted Lilla gone, and also implied what Rugan said about Lilla’s boon could be true…
Gortash stood up, and began pacing the room, exasperated. 
“As Chosen, by all rights it's my responsibility to get rid of her…” he said, attempting to maintain some authority in his voice. He hated the words coming from his mouth, but he was Bane’s Chosen. He was selected to make difficult decisions for his lord. Of course he was…
Destri rolled her eyes, “Oh here we go…” She dropped the dossier on the floor before picking up the Crown of Karsus that sat on the side table next to her. It’s the first time she had seen and held it outside of its icy casing. It was heavier than she expected, but the way it balanced in her hand made it feel otherworldly, like it existed outside the law of gravity. It called to her, whispering a promise if she just placed it on her head… 
She put it back onto the table, deciding there would be much time to acquaint herself with the Crown’s power later. 
“So what now,” Destri asked, stretching her body out under the water, and gripping a bar of soap with her tail before handing it to herself, “We go watch Lilla win that idiotic tournament, just so after you can kill her while she looks up at you with those big, brown puppy dog eyes?”
“ WE are not attending the tournament,” Gortash hissed, losing his patience, “ YOU are not to set foot there. Knowing you, you’ve already figured out where it is... This is a Banite matter, and we agreed to keep out of each other’s affairs,”
“Unless your tongue is between my legs, that is. Or we are making a lifetime of memories by drinking each other’s blood potions… Ooh! Or sharing a romantic kiss before diving into hell together…” Destri replied flippantly while scrubbing her outstretched leg, not in the mood to entertain the tyrant’s tantrum. 
“I have responsibilities , Destri,” he muttered from behind her, “Responsibilities that vastly extend beyond basic butchery ,” he waved his hand in annoyance at the last couple words. 
Destri stopped scrubbing, and placed the soap back in its cradle before rising slowly from the bath. Gortash said nothing, and when she turned around, his expression was stony… but a whisper of fear glimmered behind his obsidian eyes. She could almost smell it. 
She stepped out of the tub and moved slowly towards Gortash, who cleared his throat, refusing to falter. 
 “Basic butchery?” she whispered sensually, circling him, “Release me from my oath, and I’ll show you the most spectacular butchery you’ve ever witnessed…”
Gortash rolled his eyes, but she saw his throat move with a dry swallow, “Please, this is no time for petty threats. We are allied in the same cause, and it would be a fool’s errand to stray from that now that we have the Crown…”
“When I first saw you…I was enamoured,” Destri whispered, brushing her tail up his thigh, “For weeks and weeks, I couldn’t decide in which way to butcher you…”
The comment made Gortash freeze. Though he held an uninterested expression, he waited in silence for her to continue. He felt cornered in his own home, and she would pay for that someday soon.  
Destri continued circling him, taking in his scent, and relishing the honeyed hint of fear that wafted from his perspiration, “I finally landed on the perfect solution…” She shoved him down on the bed and straddled him, gripping her dagger from the side table with her tail, and placing it in her hand, as if it were her surgical assistant before she operated on a patient.
A song inspired by @adorablebanite's Lilla - it is meant to be a duet but... man, I suck so much at figuring out harmonies, this will do for now
Faithful I swear I'll always be faithful No matter where I'll be faithful It's true Faithful I was born to be faithful From my first dawn I was faithful To you Faithful How can you say you are faithful? When you know no way but faithful? Is that really faith at all? Faithful What does it mean to be faithful? Lean on me, I'll be faithful I will catch you when you fall You say you were made to love Created by my master just to follow But is love not hollow when ordered from above? Faithful How can I prove I am faithful My every move will be faithful I waste no time on the philosophy Faithful But do you want to be faithful? My lord I long to be faithful I want only what you want of me So what if I was made to serve? I know only what I can feel To me my love is real, and it's what you deserve Faithful What does it mean to be faithful? Lean on me, I'll be faithful (True, you seem to be faithful) My faith is true, it is not blind Faithful What am I for if not faithful? Forevermore are you faithful? I am faithful (Swear you are faithful) I swear I am faithful (Swear you are faithful) Always there, I am faithful (Forever will you be true?) Forever to you

For anyone who has been all
Tumblr media
at my centaur oc, I'll summarize his backstory under the cut to give some more context for my art. Because I have gotten a looot of comments what's going on with him on here and on Twitter and I feel it's a bit easier like this haha. If you do not give a flying fuck (and I wouldn't blame you), just move along haha....
So Patataj is really just my D&D player character, but I make up stories with him even outside that, so for those who want the context of the art I draw, here it goes:
He grew up in a tribe/herd of desert dwelling centaurs. He's a free spirit with a talent for singing and dancing (which in D&D of course means he's a bard ;D). As he gets older he ends up joining a group of travelers, as he just wants to see and learn more about the world in a quest for more songs and stories. He's very trusting and good-natured and thus ends up getting taken advantage of. You know, you're a horse, so you can carry all the heavy stuff? Of course, of course.
It ends up with him getting made to deliver a letter to an orc camp and ending up in orc slavery, basically having gotten betrayed and sold out (always read the letters you're made to deliver!). So he has a really rough few days there.
Luckily, he meets a fellow slave named Senna (she's an Aasimar with pretty neat healing abilities) and they manage to escape together. I made a comic about it here.
They travel the lands as she teaches him some healing powers and him helping her to further her weird connection to the godly voices she hears (he doesn't understand religion much, but he's supportive and it seems to make her stronger, so).
Currently, I'm playing the Curse of Strahd module with my group and in that story Patataj gets seperated from Senna and trapped in a land called Barovia. The whole place is controlled by Strahd (a vampire, for those who do not know D&D) and there's no sunlight and it's foggy and miserable (not to mention the small connection he still had with the outside world through Sennas mark seemingly slowly fading). So, he has to meet new friends and somehow find a way out of this mess. We'll see if that's possible ;D
Thanks for anyone who read this far and keeps liking my dumb horse boi. It's a very personal, silly thing, but I also like sharing because idk I just find him cute.
