Can I hear more from your recent OC's because I'm kinda interested

Yes 💗

These ocs are a lil more on the neglected side and they're not fully fleshed out, so bear with me (that doodle was the first time I've drawn em 😭)

Ok but anyways this gal is the protagonist of another story of mine (just call her MC for now, I don't have a name)

She works as a fisherwoman at her local fishery and does her best to get by off of what little she makes. She strongly despises her greedy boss. One day, out of anger and desperation, she murders him. That begins her serial killings of the wealthiest members of her community, all of whom she uses the skins/furs of to create clothing for the poorer class

My other character is named Marybell. She is the love interest of MC

Marybell and MC are in a long term relationship and want to marry each other, but since Marybell is the daughter of a wealthy family, her father forbids her from marrying into a lower class. She is instead the fiancee of someone her father chose for her, but she does her best to see MC when she can. She also likes to wear the clothes that MC sometimes designs for her (🫢)

I was heavily into Sweeney Todd when I came up with em, so there's some inspiration from that. I still have a lot to work on in terms of their character building and story, but they're both some of my favorite ocs, so I'll be drawing more of them on here too ☺️ thank you for your interest in them!! 🫶

"Hello, darlings!~ It's good to be back for another Valentine's Day!~ Ha-ha!~ Oh, I can just feel all the love in this kingdom! But don't fret if you don't have a valentine; that's what I am here for~ Now, let's get to work, shall we?~"

Oh my! It is Valentine's Day, and that means Melton Citron is in the kingdom!~ In honor of the holiday, I FINALLY DIGITIZED HIM!!!

Melton Citron, the Valentine's Day exclusive racer, has been here since the first year the game has been plugged in. However, he is only supposed to be here for that week; once the holiday is over and he goes back to the hub, he isn't coming back until next Valentine's Day (or unless he follows another holiday exclusive out). He is based on chocolate-dipped oranges and orange chocolate mousse~

When the developers designed the Valentine's Day racer, they just KNEW they had to be based off a singer; they cycled through various concepts and sketches, then they finally settled on basing their cupid off of Elton John himself! Although, despite being based off of Elton, Melton dreads constantly being compared to his predecessor, and feels like a fraud since he lacks his own creative talent. It's part of why he gravitates to wanting to be idolized by his peers; which led to him being one of the four exclusives that actually sided with King Candy during his reign.

DOODLE DUMP!!!:

And an AU sketch concept of Melton as a royal~

SOME VIVIAN & BIRDO HEADCANONS (22/12/2023 UPDATE)

Vivian previous name was Vinnie. Unlike the censored version of the 2nd Paper Mario here she is a MtF. She was beaten and insulted by her sisters and the Shadow Queen about her gender identity. One day, she met a MagicKoopa who gave her the possibility to become what she ever wanted.

After the transition, she realized that the problem wasn't her, were her "family" who don't respect her choices of self expression and changing her gender was a loss of time and money. She was still Vinnie but with a feminine body and name.

Then she met Birdo, a male dinosaur who dressed in a strange way but he seemed to be comfortable in his skin and in this kind of behaviour.

So she joined him and they created a pair called Pink Kink. Vivian is still shy about showing herself to others meanwhile Birdo is more extrovert.

Vivian seems to have a crush on Mario, the Mushroom Kingdom's Hero meanwhile Birdo had a long romantic relationship with Popple. He broke up with him because he stole some money and objects from him to resell them at the Black Bean Market (?). Now he seems interests in Yoshi (the green one) and sometimes flirts with him.

• Vivian is Transgender (Male to Female) and Heteroromantic. She has 23 years old in human ages.

• Birdo is Bigender (prefered he/him pronouns) and Homoromantic. He has 30 years old.

• They work as actors and sponsorshippers of Mushroom Kingdom's Theater and a clothing market.

Acronix having chronic separation anxiety when he doesn't know where Krux is, or can't find him. He can handle/remain calm when Krux is in the same building or knows his exact location. But but if ever he got lost somewhere especially far out from Ninjago City, or been separated after a fight, the man will panic a good few minutes, before eventually trying to find his way back to his brother, or at least back to the museum, cause if Krux isn't there at least he would be somewhere he could find him. And when he does find his brother after being like a lost puppy, Krux is greeted with a near back cracking tight hug from his physically younger brother :3

Introducing: Confetti!!!!!!!!! >_<

They/She

She stemmed from Aztrophyr's happy mood and thoughts about celebrations

They appear during celebrations/parties 🎉🎉 duhh

They get hurt when the party gets ruined because it goes against their purpose/title (that's how it works for other concept deities too)

They don't have a specific human race but they do look a bit Hispanic bc I am one and I base my OCs off me

They have a gray skin with purple undertones

Their ankles? Canonically like that. THICC ANKLES and their clothes? They can't take it off bc its a part of them!! But not a skin either

They can stretch as far as a mile or more AHHAHHAH

They're like a cartoon

They can shapeshift or modify their body

They can also teleport like any other deities!!

For extremely super-mega-alpha-omega confidential reasons, what color is a scolly?

AHAHAHA, this is a great question !

The body and legs of a Scolly is Kiwi colored :)) (but they come in many variations so it can be darker or lighter!) while the head of the Scolly is a bone-ish white color (since they're a distant cousin of the wendigo)

Fun side note: The Scolly is loosely based off these plushies because of how silly it looks

But my main reference and inspiration for the scolly is this thing:

That's how the Scolly got its tongue tendrils and weird ahh head (I was trying to draw the head of this Precambrian shrimp but oversimplified it a bit too much so that's how the Scolly got its look)

#I am going to sleep now but I just needed to scratch this brain itch of mine #i too have been wondering what color the Scolly is #“I don't need sleep I need answers”#oc scolly #scolly #oc lore #character background #asks #asks answered

OCs as tragic love archetypes | uquiz | tagged by @adelaidedrubman @corvosattano and @simplegenius042

CUPID'S BROTHER: You have been love adjacent all your life. The faint spill of another story that softly grazed your shoulders when stood too close. Whether by design or not, you have yet to build a clear image of what love means to you. The interlocked weaving of a picture locket bound to strand of hair when hugged to tight, the sunpatch that meets your soles in glaring sun dried fields when running with a friend. You are not far from love, but moving between line of collision and avoidance at all times. A faint glimmer on sea lake surface of what could be. There is time to find what you want, find whether it's enough as is. Love is in you, breathing in another day. Continue as you are, realizing the love that is slowly blossoming in your life as it sharpens and clears in brushstrokes.

CANíBALES/DEVOURER: Love's a knife to skin to you, a vein to woven muscle, blood puddle before you. You listened to all the promises of a stranger's relief and feel the drain of a shower head running it all down again. You committed another murder; kissed and bruised skin with a clench to a quivering wrist and went home in the defeaning quiet of a taxi. There's mold covered rage within you. If to take a heart home with you, you'd bite your way through muscle and ribcage first. Pleasure comes, but there will be no devouring past it. There is fear in settling down and being seen. There is a glass screen between these bodies and you. Relax your tight jaw and feel the real canine fear beneath that scabbed up cavity. The sacrifice of opening up is needed if to be loved as you deeply wish inside. Desire doesn't discriminate between hands or spoken word. Why should you?

If this isn't perfect for Mer, and sacrifice being mentioned ☠️

SUB ROSA: Love is a game of here and there to you. Whether catching glimpse of another's neckline or grazing a knuckle between knocking shoulders of passing by. You have learned to adore in secrecy, the rawness of an outright confession to be spoken a foreign terror. There is ease in pursuing the unavailable, to remain within the space of possibility and nestle the fuzzy words another could say to make or break your day. Instability spun itself into mysterium and while the certainty of love in aging isn't to be forced upon anyone, there is a miniscule part of you testing the limits of ambiguity. Hold down the feeling and settle in the leather seat of a car, kiss the corner of a mouth and say how you feel. Your affection in its vulnerability is to be seen, lift the veil and do not fret when an honest word turns into all you have secretly yearned for. You are meant to be noticed and openly loved.

LESLIE. Goddamn, he is at it again.

MAUDLIN MAGDALENE: An embrace with the shivering figure of a ghost. You cut your hair at 3 a.m. to change it all but it is no use. Love is a war to endure to you. You comfort and hold, kiss pressed to temple and cheek while feeling the numbness filling your nights to brim. What used to feel honorable has now become chore of breathing to sustain another. What else is love, but your disembodied lap to lay another's head into? Your fingers turn blue in the announcing dawn, the cold figure of what you used to know of yourself remains asleep next to them. Another version of you has crept out of your old body, has ripped and eaten itself out of a cast that was fused into the position of nurturing comfort. Remove yourself from your lovers before they become part of you, conjoined with your arms to anothers wailing head you have no life apart of maudlin magdalene. You have given endlessly, but this isn't all there is to you. Acknowledge the good that has been done and let yourself be free. You deserve to feel held as well, you are more than what you can give of yourself before breaking down.

FATHER'S SON: Breathe down your own neck, it's the sound of smashing fist against furniture in another room again. The wringing hem of cloth and pattern of an escalating heart. Love is tumultous to you. There is grief and disguised forgiveness to damp down the yearning. A permanent fear of tender flesh spilling out, still- you must refrain of growing attached to the fear you had installed into you. Let go of the notion that love is still to be cherished with a hole in the head. Scrub crimson ancestry off wooden floors and try again tomorrow when your hands don't shake cold from the blood loss. Love isn't a fist to escape. Fill the hole in your head with cotton and know you are to be adored. You are deserving of an embrace without flinching.

Torn about this one, like pretty boy has a ton of guilt from his past, but the violence isn't something he faced prior to [redacted], esp in his family. He'd argue he's not his father's son, actually.

Tagging, @socially-awkward-skeleton @josephslittledeputy @trench-rot @josephseedismyfather @florbelles @direwombat @cassietrn @purplehairsecretlair @voidika @theelderhazelnut @marivenah @madparadoxum @unholymilf @carlosoliveiraa @harmonyowl @nightbloodbix @macs-babies @shellibisshe @onehornedbeast @euryalex @clicheantagonist @g0dspeeed and anyone that would like to do the uquiz for their ocs <3

Doc - Backstory

Doc used to be a non-hybrid human. At some point when he was younger, probably in his reckless-teenager years, he sustained an injury that lost him his eye. Instead of getting into cybernetics right away though, he got really into genetics.

Creepers appear to have very strong regenerative abilities (another bit of this headcanon that was stolen from sycon-senti, who I won't spam with tagging them again), so Doc focused on creeper genetics to see if using them could help fix his eye. And while it is somewhat true, there's two problems with this:

Creepers can have this potential mostly because they are plant-like, and don't really need as much cell specialization or as many genes dictating where body parts go as a human does.

Creepers don't even have eyes. (their "faces" are a set of hollows that act more like a snake's heat pits to sense their surroundings.)

So hybridizing himself with a creeper did not, in fact, fix Doc's eye. Instead, the heal/replace genes he used worked on most of the rest of his body, resulting in some of the things I mentioned in the last post (claws instead of nails, soft/lush creeper fur instead of sparse-ish body hair, etc).

At that point, Doc went looking for cybernetics to replace his eye more reliably. And it's a good thing he did, because that meant he was already in contact with/learning from cyberneticists when he got his arm stolen by a god developer for his repeated hubris.

As mentioned before, the horns are aesthetic. At this point, Doc is at peace enough with his situation to start going "hey you know what would be cool" and adding things like horns to himself.

RWBY Character Lore: Taupe White

“Name. Taupe White. Reason For Becoming Huntress: Freedom and Self-Discovery.”

— Taupe White to her future teammates

Born in the Kingdom of Mistral. Taupe White is the sole daughter of Verdant White, the enigmatic but dreaded leader of The White Lily Guild an criminal organization/cult/military group and a unknown man who rumored to be either a rogue huntsman, male gigolo, a petty criminal lord or even Marcus Black himself who catch the attention of the feared, esteemed criminal mastermind/master assassin

Her entire past is mysterious to anyone who knew her. Not even Taupe couldn’t remember most of her past outside of the basic stuff such as who is her mother and her former connection to the White Lily Guild. Taupe’s claims she was once member of the Spider until she go awol after a failed heist and been considered a traitor to the Spider and marked to death.

The mole faunus lifestyle is often harsh and dangerous for a young child of her age and skills but due to diligence, determination and luck able to survive to adulthood, though without having a few physical and mental scars that define themselves as aloofness, ruthlessness and a co-dependency to authority figures that often lead to manipulative and abusive relationships between her and the person who she coined as Commander

By the time she reached sixteen years old, she left Mistrial to Vale to better herself for a new future and life as a huntress where she met her new family and her new Commander, Jaune Arc and Team BBNT.

I must have info on Dropped-it Delphine! 😸

Of course!

Dropped-It Delphine is the fusion between your main OC Neko and my FFJAU! version of Wreck-It Ralph.

See main appearance here

and her getting pet by an anon here

This gigantic fusion is incapable of being malicious. However, she is extremely ditzy [Thanks to FFJAU!Ralph] and bound to cause lots of property and medical damage when she is about.

Appearance wise, this feminine fusion is both extremely tall [She is currently the tallest one, beating Paradox and Thearletto] and extremely bulky! Her deep teal glasses are taped together at the ridge of her little pink nose. Her fur and hair is the color of sand, and she has the cat features of the Canadian Lynx.

Her overalls are rosewood pink and the pant legs are torn at the thigh. The shirt underneath that is comprised of Twilight Midna's outfit and the gloves are the color of fruit punch. The robe that Neko would normally wear is tied around Delphine's right arm. As for the robe like skirt, the metal that wraps around her hips is made of copper and the fabric of the skirt is torn and frayed at the ends. The fabric is white with cyan patterns, except the patterns create a brick pattern.

As usual, the colors are up to speculation and may change upon digitation, but that's it for now!

A quick guide to creating character backstories:

1. Understand the Purpose: A character backstory provides depth and context to your character. It helps you understand their motivations, desires, fears, and past experiences. Consider how the backstory will connect with the present story and contribute to the character's development.

2. Start with the Basics: Begin by outlining the essential information about your character. This includes their name, age, physical appearance, and basic personality traits. Having these details will give you a foundation to build upon.

3. Family and Origins: Explore your character's family background. Where were they born? Who were their parents? What was their family dynamic like? Understanding their upbringing can reveal significant influences on their behavior and beliefs.

4. Significant Life Events: Identify key events that have shaped your character's life. These events can be positive or negative, such as the loss of a loved one, a life-changing achievement, or a traumatic experience. These events should be pivotal moments that have impacted the character's development.

5. Education and Skills: Consider your character's education and skills. Did they receive formal education? Are they self-taught? What areas are they proficient in? This can help define their expertise and abilities, as well as their knowledge base.

6. Relationships: Explore the character's relationships with others. Who are their friends, allies, or enemies? Are they in a romantic relationship? How do they interact with different individuals? Understanding their connections can reveal dynamics and conflicts within the story.

7. Goals and Motivations: Determine what drives your character. What are their goals, dreams, or aspirations? What motivates them to take action? Understanding their desires and ambitions can add depth to their decision-making and provide direction to their Journey.

8. Flaws and Weaknesses: No character is perfect. Identify your character's flaws, weaknesses, or vulnerabilities. These traits make them more relatable and human. Flaws can also create internal and external conflicts, driving the character's growth.

9. Cultural and Historical Context: Consider the cultural and historical context in which your character exists. How do these factors influence their beliefs, values, and worldview? Incorporating cultural and historical elements can make your character more authentic and immersive.

10. Present Story Alignment: Finally, ensure that your character's backstory aligns with the present story. Connect their past experiences to their current situation and the overall plot. Look for opportunities to reveal elements of their backstory as the story unfolds, creating a cohesive narrative.

Remember, this guide provides a general framework, but the specifics of each character's backstory will depend on your creative choices and the requirements of your story. Have fun exploring your characters and bringing them to life!
