old people......
another pair of ocs drawings i finished ^_^ things have been sooo busy lately and they took me a while but this makes 22 of the main guild finished! hopefully i can knock out the remaining ones soon too. as for these two geezers ill put info about them under the cut as usual!
The lady in pink is Vesta, named of course for the brightest asteroid, which in turn derives its name from the Roman goddess of the hearth and home. And Vesta is, and has always been, an incredibly vital part of the guild’s family dynamic. She was the first person to ever be born and raised in the guild, over 70 years ago, and she became it’s heart. Though she may not be a sweet bubbly young girl anymore, she remains the guilds healer, through her purifying fire ability. Though it does highlight her self-sacrificial nature, she always puts others before herself. It may not be as apparent now, she’s grown a bit less patient in her old age, and many things in her past have left her a bit more jaded. Her care and love for her family, and her tendency to put them before everything, stays the same. She’s the guild’s stricter grandma who won’t hesitate to scold you for doing dumb shit to hurt yourself.
And the man in blue is Pyxis, named after the constellation Pyxis Nautica, meaning “mariner's compass.” Back in his glory days, he was sort of the navigator of a team comprising of himself, Vesta, Venus, and one other character. He’s also the only one not named after a Roman god, but he sure doesn’t act like it. To this day he’s incredibly arrogant, in both his skills and intelligence, and his ego isn’t even unearned, which is the frustrating part. His ability is in his sword slice- he can swing his sword and send out a powerful slash of wind alongside it. So powerful it could cut through anything, but the catch is it gets 50% weaker each time he uses it until he has the time to recharge. But he’s always confident that he’ll only need one slice. Nowadays he occasionally steps in as a navigator for Vela’s crew, or handling the guilds finances. In terms of personality he doesn’t behave much differently than he did when he was a cocky young 20-something though. He’s just the guild’s cool grandpa, in his mind at least.
