He had to fight Braveheart and Ironside, and if got back up again and fought well, he could join. She also put him at gun point and he put her at gun point in return and that was that. If he had the guts to put her at gun point, he could join. And so he did.

She had to go live at a friends house, but then her friend couldn’t live the pressure that her parents put on her. Her friend ran away and was found dead. Having no where else to go, she sneaks onto a ship parked in port. Lakoma found her hiding in the pantry and told Black.

They weren’t able to find work despite their skillset. Walking down the docks, they find Soberski bleeding out. Canta goes into panic mode and starts to stitch him up and heal him.

He only joined the crew cause his sister did and they needed someone to patch up their boat after a big fight.

They met again and again until they actually talked to each other when they were around 14. As soon as she could, Ira left home and joined Silver on her adventures.

After I wrote this, i realized how many people were ace and aro. Look who’s imposing their sexuality onto their characters and is going to have them be a found family -- not me. I would never. Never. That’s exactly what I’m doing. 

I absolutely LOVE how the moodboards came out!! And I have an overall theme for all of them and I’m all for it! The quote that is by itself or whatever, is their motto/quote thing that I wrote and is going to be referenced all through Over Land and Sea!

🔥💕☁️ for an OC of your choice! :) —vellichor-virgo

Hello Meghna @vellichor-virgo !! I’ll answer this for Lakoma!

🔥 Is your OC known for having temper tantrums? If not, what gets them really angry? What makes their blood BOIL? Is there anyway to calm them down or are they unstoppable? What are they like when they’re angry? Do they take it out on their loved ones?

Lakoma isn’t known for having temper tantrums. But they get pissed whenever anyone doesn’t take care of themselves. She’s had to force Captain Black to eat and sleep because she neglects her own needs. Lakoma’s anger is more disappointed and sad for whoever isn’t taking care of themselves. 

💕 How is your OC like with physical affection? What are their boundries? Do they enjoy being touched or is that a no-go? Is there any reason behind this?

Lakoma loves physical affection. A brush of the hand, shoulder pats, cheek kisses, hand holding, they love it all. Their parents were very physical people and these touches were constantly in their life and so now it’s the norm. The rest of the crew gets surprised when random hugs and kisses come out of no where, but they never push them away. The crew welcomes it. They also know that it’s all in family love and nothing romantic. (The first time Lakoma kissed on the cheek Black she freaked out thinking that Lakoma was hitting on her) 

☁️ What’s something your OC wishes they could forget? Why is this? Or, what is something that your OC has forgotten? (or do both!)

Lakoma has forgotten a lot about her parents. They passed when she was young and now most of the memories of them are fading. She wishes that they wouldn’t fade, she loves her parents. She was one of the few that didn’t have family problems. All she remembers are the touches and desserts that her ma made for her pa every day.

70 and 74 for Lakoma?

Thank you for the ask, Eve!!

70. How do they feel about animals? Do they have any pets?

Lakoma doesn’t have any pets, but they love animals! They will melt when they see animals! Any animal and it’s like love at first sight! They want lots of pets, they can’t chose a favorite cause it would be like betraying the others, but living on sea really puts a damper on that dream. 

74. What weather is their favorite? Do they like storms? 

They love the sunny days that aren’t too cold nor too warm. The days with a slight breeze. Work isn’t fun when it’s too hot and they love the slight breeze on their face. They don’t get that weather often on the ship, but it was like that almost daily where they grew up! Unlike many of their crewmates, Lakoma loves and misses their hometown. 

In response to this ask game!

(For the rose=random sentence from WIP thing)

Hello Nia!

“I can’t breathe.” Black gasps quietly.

Tonya smirks from where she is lacing Braveheart’s corset. “Pain is beauty, darling.” She synchs the last string on Braveheart’s corset, drawing a harsh breath from them. “You get used to it.”

“I didn’t.” Lakoma comments, finishing with the corset and bringing — Black thought the corset was a monstrosity, she hadn’t seen the dress. She would protest, but then both Virans would be on her ass about it and this is for the job. It’s for the job. For the job.

Joke, Kickback, and Secret, for any OC?

Thank you for the ask, Vivian!! I’m gonna do this for Lakoma!

Joke: Does your OC tend to tease and banter with their friends, or are they more serious/straightforward?

They are kinda a mix, they’re super kind so they never want to tease someone and accidentally be rude. But they will banter with the crew and they’re really laid back, a little worried about rules and getting caught, but definitely on the laid back side!

Kickback: Your OC is given the chance to have (their version of) the perfect day, but they have to bring someone else with them. Who do they choose, and what do they spend the day doing?

Lakoma would bring along Ironside and they would go to a little bakery where Lakoma can cook all day and Ironside can eat all the desserts they make. Ironside has a huge sweet tooth and was the one who let Lakoma join the crew and I think that they would just have a wonderful, stress free, cooking day!

Secret: What is something your OC wishes they could tell another character?

Lakoma wants to talk about their mom, they loved their mom and was really close with her. But even though Lakoma joined the crew earlier, they don’t know how to bring it up. Their mom has always been someone that they hold super close to their heart and since it’s been super long since they’ve joined the crew, they think that it’s too late.
