OC-tober Day 28: Monster

Is he a monster? That's what Sisu was led to believe. But is it really true? He's happy to be what he is, but at the same time he wishes to be accepted and fears people will reject him because of his nature. Maybe if he did something about it, he wouldn't be so lonely...

[cloudberrybunny]

OC-tober Day 2: New OC

Goddess of Chaos for The Quartzosphere! She's more of a lore character than anything else, but her past shenanigans still affect the world.

In the distant past, she, with the Goddess of Suffering and the Goddess of Love (because miss Chaos let her do whatever she wanted! Yay!), worked together to overthrow the other gods. When the Goddess of Rebirth was locked up and the rest of the gods defeated, she did everything she could to get their power in her hands and, ultimately, rule the world. However, as she considered the planets her playthings and made constant "funny pranks" (like picking up cities and placing them somewhere random and making the sea salty), people quickly rebelled, kicking her out of the Star Temple and ending her reign.

Designing her was rather difficult. At first I came up with a somewhat proud and imposing looking character, but that didn't mesh with my perception of chaos at all :'D So I ended up just, taking some older character designs of mine and... mashing them together X'D

OC-tober Day 19: Palette Challenge

...Taika is literally wearing one of the color palettes... :'D

[cloudberrybunny]

OC-tober Day 14: Inspiration

Kokko, the Goddess of Rebirth! She is of course inspired by a phoenix, but also by a fiery eagle in Finnish mythology, Kokko, where she got her name from. Kokko means bonfire n_n She is the only god I've named, as she's the most important one.

I was debating if I should draw Kokko, or the Goddess of Suffering, who is also inspired by Finnish mythology - by Kipu-Tyttö (the Pain Girl) who lived on Kipukukkula (the Hill of Pain) and was stirring a great big pot filled with suffering. Her job was to ensure everyone was suffering an equal amount D: Finnish mythology is kinda messed up...

[cloudberrybunny]

Thank you again for drawing her!! She looks so cute <33

Fully traditional Art Fight revenge for ~Cloudberrybunny!

OC-tober Day 13: Memes

I had sketched these meme redraws a while back for expression practice, so now was a good opportunity to line and color them :D I really enjoyed coloring in this simpler style, it was so much quicker too!

The character in the disaster girl redraw is called Pommiina, she's a mage as well! Her name is a pun of two explosives and a Finnish female name mashed together. Couple years back someone named their kid that and Finnish internet exploded - was the name even appropriate? However, I thought it was hilarious and the name never left my brain, waiting to be used for a character XD

OC-tober Day 7: Likes

Here's Vellamo! She used to teach self-defense with the Magic Point Pen (a weapon specifically created in Serendia, for Serendians) before the destruction of Serendia. After she fled from the city, she's been constantly on the move. She rarely has time to wind down, but when she does, she enjoys reading crime novels, sunbathing by the sea and special coffee drinks.

[cloudberrybunny]

OC-tober Day 10: Personality

The most important characters in The Quartzosphere, chibi style!! :D Here's some introductions from left to right!

Sulo is the main character. He's a sweet and shy young man, often too nice for his own good. Growing up in a small countryside village, he always dreamed of grand adventures and hoped to one day visit the glistening towers he could see in the distance. A hopeless daydreamer! He tries to get along with everyone and is thus concerned of what people think about him, and he overthinks a lot. Precious cinnamon roll ;_;

Sulo is holding Tiffe, a hybrid animal of sorts. Tiffe usually has a sour expression, like she's judging everyone silently. She's smart and quick to learn, and has an impeccable sense of smell, which helps her to guide her companions. She is very curious and will snoop her surroundings upside down, possibly making a mess in the process. She is also rather proud and refuses to ask for help. As she is small, stairs are her biggest enemy - she is very ashamed if someone has to carry her to the top.

Taika is mischievous, reckless, and rarely acts serious - however, she's smarter than she lets on. Taika has a habit of hiding her true feelings and finds it difficult to share her problems with other people. Tiffe is the only one she feels she can open up to! She gets bored easily, and can be rather impatient. When tired or bored, she can be dramatic and will purposefully get more theatrical just to annoy Pyry. :'D Taika is headstrong and dislikes controlling people. She will hold a grudge towards those who have wronged her or the people close to her. Taika is rather irresponsible when using magic. She's prone to using her magic reserves too quickly and will often need some time to recover, leaving her helpless against aggressive hybrids.

Pyry is calm and judgemental, and while he appears stoic, he is surprisingly easy to fluster. He is cautious towards new people and doesn't trust others too easily. However, once he opens up, he is caring, honest and trustworthy. Pyry is smart and likes to learn about different cultures and legends. He has a profound appreciation for nature, and knows a thing or two about survival in the wild. He can build a sufficient camp or a snow tunnel to stay safe during nights in the wilderness. He's both unlucky and pessimistic, and is always expecting things to go wrong if they can go wrong. Pyry also has little patience to those fooling around and gets annoyed easily.

Ilta is the mom-friend of the group: warm, positive and supporting. She is friendly, but not too nice. She always tries to be polite, even towards people she doesn't like. Ilta is kind to everyone, unless they give her a reason not to! Determined and overprotective, she does everything she can to keep her companions safe and well. She can get fussy - she constantly asks if people are in need of warm clothes, food or if they need a break from traveling. She absolutely loves animals and appreciates all life. She is a vegan and always carries vegan sweets with her no matter where she goes <3 Ilta is modest and gets embarrassed when someone praises her. When she is nervous, she gets chatty and can even talk to herself.

Sisu has trouble fitting in and tries to get rid of a core component of his being in hopes of becoming what he deems "normal", so that people would accept him. Despite this, he has no real desire to change and is comfortable how he is - he only tries to do so in fear of people judging him. Due to not being fully human, he has been living isolated and is therefore asocial. This causes him to be lonely and jealous of people who have friends and connections. He can be rather blunt and stubborn - sarcasm is his middle name. He prefers to avoid fighting and will try to flee if things get dicey. However, as he learns more about the Magic Point Pen and how to use it, he will defend himself more readily. He prefers to stay in the shadows and dislikes being seen. Sisu likes all things soft and comforting and is most likely touch-starved. Someone give him a hug ;_;

Master Aura is the current magic-teaching Serendian Master. She is optimistic, imaginative and curious. Too curious for her own good... She is also very perceptive, and notices small details others might miss. As a teacher in Serendia, she was gentle, sweet and encouraging but could be strict when needed. She had problems living up to her title as a Master, and would constantly stress over her teaching methods and ask the other Masters for advice. She was unsure if she was even worthy of the title. Her thinking is very black-and-white and she is a bad liar. She has a tendency of not wanting to bother other people with her problems.

Master Vellamo used to teach self-defense with the Magic Point Pen in Serendia. She seems cold, strict and uptight but is actually quite caring and understanding. She's a punctual perfectionist, and always acts and dresses appropriately. She likes her surroundings clean and stylish. Vellamo has no sense of humor, she almost never laughs. She can't help but roll her eyes at Grand Master Edvin's dad jokes XD Vellamo is often too harsh on herself. If she makes a mistake, it will haunt her for days and she will do everything she can to correct it.

Grand Master Edvin is the highest-ranking Master in Serendia. He used to teach advanced use of the Magic Point Pen - copying structures and magic traces as well as drawing saved structures out of the Magic Point Pen (it kinda works like a 3D scanner + 3D printer + magic wand XD) He is smart, knowledgeable and understanding, and is always encouraging people in his own way. Edvin is a silly man. He loooves his puns and jokes! If the situation is not dire, he can tell obviously vague or wrong information just to mess with people :'D He always tries to do the right thing, though! While he is a jokester, he knows when it's time to get serious. Edvin is the emotional type - he will cry during sad movies or while reading a book.

Master Conrad used to teach basic use and history of the Magic Point Pen in Serendia. He is serious and intelligent, always seeking to learn more. He is a logical thinker. Even though he is a polite gentleman, he is cold and firm towards the people who do not respect him. He is not very talkative and has no time for chit-chat. As he is calculating and deliberate, his hypotheses are usually spot-on. He always dresses impeccably and dislikes messes. Despite his immaculate looks, he is very absent-minded and forgets stuff all the time. He often immerses himself in his work and forgets to eat, which forces him to munch on some canned food. Poor Mr. Fancypants :'(

[cloudberrybunny]

OC-tober Day 4: Under-appreciated OC

Virva is Taika's older sister! Despite being fairly important to the story of The Quartzosphere, she is rarely seen. Virva works in the archives of the hidden city of mages, Marsienne - she researches forgotten magic types. Virva has set her mind on rediscovering a magic type that was only used by an ancient civilization in the neighboring planet: mind magic. However, as the planet is now inaccessible due to an event called The Great Calamity, she has no way of visiting it and is stuck researching ancient tomes... Which are of no help. Almost like someone had knowingly wiped off all traces of the magic type in question...

She is rather lazy and is often found reading comics and snacking even when she's supposed to be working XD Despite her being a lot calmer than Taika, the two of them constantly prank each other, like gifting each other chocolate truffles filled with hot sauce or wasabi.

Her name is a Finnish female name, probably derived from the word "virvatuli", will-o-wisp.

[cloudberrybunny]

OC-tober Day 27: Fears

Pyry is scared of giant bugs and spiders D: When he was a kid, he was bit by a beetle and apparently it hurt so much he still can't stand them! That particular ancient monster is soon to be squashed under The Bellavien Times. Poor thing.

[cloudberrybunny]

OC-tober Day 1: Favorite OC

I couldn't choose just one, so here's both Taika and Sisu!

Taika is the type of character I usually gravitate towards in media: She's someone who's fun, mischievous and whimsical, but is much smarter and more cunning than it seems! Her name is a Finnish female name, it simply means "magic". Which is fitting, as she's a mage.

Sisu, on the other hand, is someone I've probably poured most of my personal experiences into. He's based on my feelings of being left out and never truly fitting in, no matter how hard I try. Like, what is wrong with me and how do I change that? Maybe he finds his people before I do. He has a Finnish male name, which can be roughly translated to "determination regardless of cost, perseverance, or willpower" - it's also the most important part of Finnish national identity! He has ties to merpeople, and is usually seen wearing a wetsuit. Though he also enjoys wearing fluffy sweaters!

[cloudberrybunny]

OC-tober Day 18: Swap

Color swap!! :D I wanted to see Ilta in Pyry's colorway. And I learned I don't like those colors on her :'D I also wanted to see Sisu in white. He looks kinda cool n_n Pyry ended up casually cosplaying Buttercup from Powerpuff Girls haha XD (I swear it's the hair)

OC-tober Day 17: DnD Alignment Chart

I had to put some lore characters here to fill the chart n_n'

For the OCs I have not yet introduced:

Lawful Evil: Princess Ninni of Shenyei Aira, who reigns over the Eastern Kingdom. She is one of the most notable sponsors for the Magehunter's Guild and owns the biggest mage-proof prison in the world, where her subjects extract magic energy from mages. Basically everything in the world of The Quartzosphere uses magic energy to work, so doing this she ensures her kingdom's survival in these trying times.

True Neutral: Myrsky, the Galactic Maestro who controls the weather. When the Galactic Maestros accepted the former god's powers, they also made a contract which prohibited them from messing with the world and it's people. While some of the Galactic Maestros were more lenient with the rules and some even visited the land below the Star Temple, Myrsky was the most adamant when following the contract. He would stay in the temple and fulfill the role of a passive observer, while also judging the other Maestros and their visits.

Neutral Evil: The Goddess of Suffering. Pretty self-explanatory, her job is to simply cause pain.

[cloudberrybunny]

OC-tober Day 15: Music

Conrad plays the violin! n_n I had no idea what to do with today's prompt, as I don't have playlists or anything of my characters. Even though some of them have a song I associate with the character, not all of them do! I do listen to orchestral music when I need inspiration for story stuff or imagining environments, though.
