#haetaes are just bitches

[bluegiragi]

Does the specific variant of a hybrid effect a person at all behaviour wise if that makes sense? Like Gaz being a crow and Horangi a tiger

Or is it more of just a visual thing?

it does! Gaz being a crow-variant harpy means he has a much better long term memory than say, an osprey-variant. In the same way, Gaz doesn't have the same benefits as other variants - for example, an osprey-variant hybrid has barbed pads of their feet, allowing them to deal more damage with their talons.

The difference between haetae variants is more to do with personality than physical traits like harpies. Tiger variants are stuck-up and isolated - they won't communicate with other haetae families unless they have to. Goat-variant haetaes are a lot more straightforward, although with a much shorter fuse. Lion variants are loud, and overbearing. You get the gist.

#the haetae families and their drama could fuel seasons of a reality tv show #just know they ALL kinda piss each other off lol #thats what you get when you're stuck in a group project but every member thinks theyre the only one doing all the work #harpies dislike each other on principle but thats more instinct #haetaes are just bitches #askbox #anon

Hi 😳 Tell us about your OCs in excruciating detail Tails!

ok so to be honest it's been a while since i've come up with OCs (i mostly came up with fleshed out ones in my roleplaying heydays. which is to say i haven't being coming up with OCs in a while) and, in my writing, i leave a lot of my characters fairly ambiguous (which is. not a good thing lmao) and don't really think of them as OCs, but i CAN tell you about some of my old favourites (and one that i still think abt even tho she's really not that developed).

under the read more! :3

YOON HANEUL [surname/first name]

SHE/HER

AGE 28

First pic is Haneul normally, second is her half-way form

Her last name, Yoon, means "govern/oversee" and her first name, Haneul, means "heaven/sky" and I think that's fitting because Haneul is a gijinka (of sorts lol) of the Korean Haetae (or chinese Xiezhi, or Japanese Kaichi [or shin'yō], or Vietnamese giải trãi, or --), a mythological being that is (in Korean folklore) trusted for preventing natural disasters and keeping law and order.

She's naturally a mediator, but, on her own, she can tend to mouth off and bitch. Her interpersonal skills are pretty good, but if someone really gets on her nerves (usually if they're being an asshole), she starts to goad and taunt whoever's bothering her. She likes humiliating people that she thinks deserve it (not to say they always do). The kind of things that get under her skin are willful ignorance, people not listening to her, and general chaos (I'm thinking, like, poorly organized rooms or events). She's not a particularly romantic person, but she's attracted to women. I think she could probably use a few lessons in compassion before being a great partner. She puts on emphasis on personal justice and order, that she can forget the kinds of things that can cause disorder.

Her parents are also Haetae, and they're much more conservative than her. She has come at odds with her parents because of their opposing views as to what their society needs in order to maintain order, and what "order' should look like. They avoid interacting with the mortal world, while Haneul readily and eagerly does so. She thinks that her best opportunity to understand what causes societal disorder is to fully immerse herself in that world.

Haneul is actually the last OC I created a few years ago before "retiring" from roleplaying (which is to say, my circles gradually died and I didn't look for new ones. I actually still love roleplaying lol, just not sure if I could successfully join new circles for it). I only ever used her once, but I made this picrew and am obsessed with how pretty I think she is, so I never really forgot about her.

VAUGHN AINSCOE [first name/surname]

HE/HIM

AGE 31

Vaughn is a big dumb bisexual idiot. He loves to paint and sculpt. His original passion was actually architecture, but gave that up for smaller-scale projects that let him get his artistic fervour out without making him think terribly hard. He doesn’t like math.

I originally created Vaughn to pair with an OC that a friend (at the time) of mine had created. Their OC was a lady who (iirc) was an assassin? I think. Vaughn was just her dumb boyfriend who loved her and wanted to spoil her. He’s very happy-go-lucky and is quite approachable. He’s not as conceptually developed as Haneul. He’s really just some guy.

Vaughn is another OC I didn’t use a lot, mainly because he was desired as part of a pair. I’m quite fond of him.

Like I mentioned earlier I really haven’t been “making” OCs lately and honestly I almost feel ashamed? lol.

Maybe at some point y’all could send this ask again and I’ll have actual OCs to share. These are really just two of my fav oldies. Haneul I quite like. Maybe if I write something with a character I really latch onto then I’ll update this lol.

Thanks so much for the ask! I assume it was genuine and I don’t look like a dumbass rn lol.

#ask #is that u sonic anon? my beloved?? #im watching the defunctland fastpass video as i make this post lol
