New oc !!! Yippee !!

Well. Not new. I’ve had Grey for a while but never got around to making their introduction LMAO but here we go!! They’re probably my favourite oc besides Step ofc. They’re my beloved little guy (gender neutral). But yes here’s Grey’s playlist!! It’s actually. Very motivational in my opinion; I listen to it when I run teehee

Lore beneath the cut (for anyone interested!!)

I have. No idea where to start LMAO but I’ll try to make this short and concise for everyone’s sanity. Might make a more cohesive version later. Here goes:

Grey was built as an early generation two iterator, the second oldest in their local group. Their initial name was Solace in Absolution, or just Solace for short. Their local group goes as follows, from oldest to youngest:

“Wander”ing Asunder - he/him - late 1st generation

“Solace” in Absolution - they/them - early 2nd generation

Disruption of “Clarity” - he/they/vir - mid 3rd generation*

“Drift”ing Petals - he/him - late 3rd generation*

Clear Golden “Sky” - she/it/they - mid 4th generation

*Clarity and Drift had their projects started at the same time, but Drift’s took longer to complete due to the rough terrain and bitterly cold tundras surrounding their can.

Solace was never well acquainted with their local group and was appointed as an honorary group senior because of Wander’s inability to lead. They never really clicked with their group either due to their cold pessimism.

They never really liked the ancients due to their admins, (guy #1, whom I haven’t named yet) and Effervescent’s combined efforts to make them feel like Shit™ !!

After a while, the desire to just up and leave became unbearable.

However, another member of their High Council named Paradox (design still pending) saw their laments in a pearl, took pity on them, and gave them pirated instructions on how to go off the string, basically.

Idk, don’t ask me how that works because I’ve got No Idea.

While the ancients are still around, Solace… Doesn’t really know what to do with it. They just kind of modify the blueprints a little more to their desire. (And yes, those claws are just as sharp as they appear to be.)

When the ancients dipped, they saw their chance and decided to leave!! But not before they have a spat with the entirety of their local group and get their seniority status revoked lol. But they’ve left now and there’s no going back. And. Well.

In hindsight, this was a terrible decision for everyone involved.

Immediately after their departure from their can, they are attacked by another iterator. They’re nearly killed before a patrol of scavengers take notice, and a particular scavenger named Lindel saves them and chases the other iterator off! Unfortunately this event also just cements their hate of other iterators outside their local group :(

They join the scavenger patrol and are adopted + named Grey by the scavengers!! Wahoo!!

(The art here is a little outdated but the lore is still applicable!)

The scavengers teach them how to make bombs and sharpen rebar to make spears, and, in turn, Grey teaches them how to make electric spears, flashbangs, and singularity bombs from the rarefaction cells of killed iterators :) friendship yippee!!

And. Yeah! That’s what I got so far :) One more thing…

PLEASE SEND ASKS ABOUT THEM I’M. I’M BEGGING. PLEASE. LINDEL AND THE REST OF THE LOCAL GROUP ARE OPEN FOR ASKS AS WELL PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE /lh

And that will be all <3 thank you for coming to my tedtalk
