🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊 for an oc of ur choice 👀

Send me a 🖊 and I’ll talk about my OCs!

i had to stop doing these for a hot minute cause tumblr mobile eating my whole entire previous ask answer pissed me off too much. anyway i’m back also zi i would kill for you

one oc per emoji, strap the FUCK in kids we’re doing the 6 shepards i’ve done actual development for and converted into non-shepard ocs so i could jam them all into one canon like a madman, plus that one cute golden retriever puppy in a turian suit who’s been in like 3 chapters out of 30+ so far yet is everyone’s favorite somehow

i swear i tried to keep all of these to one paragraph but i like!! to talk!! about my characters!!

matteo shepard is amab nonbinary, he or they pronouns, and is the canon shepard for my no-reapers au. they’re technically a colonist shep, but also super not cause i customized their backstory, my city now. they were born and raised on terra nova with their older brother leonardo and younger brother pietro. when they were twelve, their mom mysteriously vanished without a trace, leaving the family devastated and confused. matt’s dad did his best to raise the kids by himself, but never gave up hope mom would turn up some day, even when the cops concluded she was probably dead.

matt themself joined the alliance after college with a vague idea of maybe being able to find their mom in their travels, but eventually hung up that idea, deciding it was probably unrealistic. they managed to save two others of their squad on akuze, jai landry-torres and roman klein, but privately don’t think they did anything special, and don’t understand why everyone thinks they did. according to matt, they were just lucky, and they panicked, and they blame themself for not being able to save more of the squad.

niazmina khulozai is an earthborn software engineer from afghanistan, who went to stanford and only joined up with the alliance because it was her best opportunity for working on starships. she personally thinks very poorly of the alliance itself, but keeps her mouth shut so she doesn’t get in too much trouble. she’s muslim, and has seemingly no fewer than 3 hijabs for any given occasion. she also has a variety of sunglasses customized and programmed to function exactly the same as the visors you can find in the games, because she hates the hassle of trying to get her hijab to lie the way she wants it to over the visors and it’s much easier (and, in her opinion, more fashionable) to just slide on some cool shades. she’s bi and poly, has a girlfriend katya and boyfriend orion, and they’re all one big happy healthy polypile.

feliks haugen is also earthborn, and is mostly notable for the fact that he somehow just, seems to keep collecting cats. each installment of matteo’s adventures he appears in, he somehow has another cat. he lives on arcturus station when he’s not on the normandy, and there’s quite a few stray animals hanging around, which he feeds, and sometimes the cats just. decide to come in. the big three are jonesy the ginger tabby, who likes to steal oatmeal out of feliks’s bowl and thinks he will someday catch a mouse on the normandy; kitty the caliby (calico, but the patches are tabby instead of solid color, with a lot of white), who is a Shoulder Cat™ and very small; and blackfoot, a seal point tom who mostly hangs out on top of the fridge scowling at everyone and is mostly just an expy of my favorite warrior cat because i can. feliks has hypersomnia, and does his best to keep a normal sleep schedule, but that’s a lot harder than it sounds on the normandy.

zofia wen qian malinowski is the lone spacer, nonbinary, and afro-chinese polish. she’s an adept, and is very good at what she does. as a result of all the eezo exposure, because it’s radioactive, she had quite a few issues at birth, including a hole in her heart and some lung problems that were corrected with surgery. one of the things that wasn’t corrected was her right hand being deformed, with just a nub for a hand with 4 smaller nubs that should have been fingers. she’s perfectly capable of using it as well as her other hand, but she has a prosthetic hand she can control with the nubs for when she needs it. it’s very convincing, and sometimes she likes to just. take it off, to see people’s reactions. she has two pet rats, each of which is named one syllable of the mandarin word for “rat,” as an in-joke with herself because everyone thinks it’s super deep and philosophical when she really just named them “rat: parts 1 and 2,” and that is very funny to her.

gavrail nikolayevhich stoykanov is the butcher of torfan, but it’s not recommended to say so to his face. he’s still very sore about how the alliance threw him to the wolves after torfan, and would rather nobody speak of it in his presence, ever. he had a rough childhood, being jerked around by both sides of his family and only having three people in the whole giant group who really seemed to care about how he felt about the matter and how all the drama was affecting him (his mom, his twin brother dragomir, and his grandmother on dad’s side), so the alliance treating him like collateral the same way his family did really didn’t endear them to him.

he took the matter to udina, who was rightfully horrified and sought help from the big guns (aka sparatus, who as a Good Turian™ was also angered over the alliance’s dishonorable conduct) to go over the brass’s heads and get some laws in place to make sure it wouldn’t happen to anybody else. after that, gav fucked off to omega to be hurt and angry and sad in peace. his therapist before he left recommended he get a pet to help him, so he adopted a dog from a rescue, a cream standard poodle named foxtrot who had been abandoned by her owners when she wasn’t a tiny adorable puppy anymore. he felt a kindred spirit kinda thing for her. by 2186, she’s been officially trained and registered as a therapy dog, and he affectionately calls her his “war poodle.” he has a big crush on kaidan, but is too socially awkward to say anything, but then cortez comes on board and they bond over similar experiences with loss and trauma and the alliance not getting them therapy, and they get together so it works out.

michaela schulz is a jewish trans woman, and the hero of elysium (or whatever the war hero title is, they give shepard so many monikers that all sound the same i can’t keep them all straight...). she started her transition after the blitz, so sometimes there’s confusion from reporters, but by the time of me1 most of them get informed before they talk to her so they don’t ask any rude questions. she has a wirehaired fox terrier named skippy, who she adopted so she could have a jogging partner, and he likes to curl up in her lap while she’s doing computer work after he’s gotten his fill of exercise for the day. she gets with kaidan (after skippy gives his approval, of course), and they adopt a few kids together.

taniria arterius is the 17yo (in 2183) daughter of desolas arterius and valis abrudas, special no-reapers au exclusive oc. she’s cute and energetic, but she knows more about her family’s situation (her parents both suffering severe ptsd and her dad fighting alcoholism, to summarize) than she lets on. while her family themselves never pressure her, and in fact encourage her to be whoever she wants to be, she does get a lot of pressure from the rest of society to live up to her parents’ and uncle’s legacies, and it makes her very anxious. she just wants to be a singer and make people smile. she’s very curious and likes to be helpful, even if there’s not a lot she can do. also she’s a lesbian
