my very first earnest attempt at drawing my boy when i was first playing ilitw vs my most recent stab at it again, five years later. i'd like to think that i've shown some noticeable improvement...? at the very least, i've switched art programs since then, thank fucking god.

misc information about him under the cut bc atp i have essentially blorbofied him but im self conscious about it u_u

His name is Oscar Velasco. Technically, the name is Óscar, but the thing about growing up as a kid of color in a majority-white town is that you eventually give up on correcting your teachers when they mispronounce your name and resign yourself to going along with it.

His favorite animals are dogs and corvids, crows especially. His parents didn’t let him have pets as a kid, but he would sneak food to the crows that hung around the house because he read once on an animal fact card that crows can remember faces and thought it was super cool. He eventually managed to win their trust, and they started to follow him around and bring him gifts. When he was in middle school, one of his crows left a dead sparrow on his windowsill which was, like, kind of disturbing, but also sick as hell? He didn’t want it to go to waste, so he cleaned up the skull and turned it into a pendant. When Ava finally hears the story behind it she literally starts shaking him by the shoulders out of excitement because holy shit, that’s metal as fuck, and also, you gotta introduce me to your crowbros now.

He was kind of quiet and withdrawn as a kid. Entering kindergarten as a kid with undiagnosed ADHD was like being thrown into the deep end of the swimming pool with weights tied to his ankles. He was smart, but had troubling understanding and remembering directions long enough to follow them. It didn't help, either, that his teachers back then were often short with him, mistaking his confusion for oppositional noncompliance. So he was the kid who spent most of his time in class spacing out or doodling absently in the margins of his sheetwork, and most of his recesses hiding under a picnic table reading books he brought from home...

...at least, until he met Jane. It was nice to have someone to protect and look out for, someone who genuinely believed in him. He felt like he could do anything as long as she needed him to be strong for her. And then Jane died, and everyone else drifted away, and he went back to hiding under picnic tables. But at least he got in a few good years of a normal, happy childhood.

He's not used to being a priority in people's lives and he truly doesn't expect people to care about him with the same intensity that he does for them. When he sacrificed himself so that Noah wouldn't have to, that was kind of supposed to be the end of it. If he thinks too hard about Noah coming back for him, confronting his fears and letting the Power back into his life to find a way to save him, his head might explode. Anyway this is the only thing I can say about their dynamic without wanting to throw myself into the ocean:
