Hello, here I am with the second OC. I should have mentioned that the characters I do you typically have to read through all of the profiles to answer any questions about each other usually bc of their relationships with each other. Same as the last one, things may be added/removed, but this is the bare bones of the character that I'm still quite proud of. I would like to try to get some sketches done (may take a while though. I'm just starting to learn and need practice) and show them off since I really am proud of these. I hope you enjoy and, just like the last one, its VERY long so I hope you have some time on your hands XD.

Eyes are black sclera with cyan pupils with a cyan outline around her right eye (obtained after signing the soul contract with Vox; pupils were originally yellow). Long, wavy electric blue hair that she often keeps up. Mostly dressed in work attire with a blouse and pencil skirt matching the rest of the employees’ (which is essentially in Vox’s colors). Species: Sinner Nickname/s: Sawyer (name she goes by in Hell), Evelyn Ward (birth/maiden name; name changed after going into hiding), Naddie, Evie (Madison’s nicknames) Likes: theater, the arts, ballet, carnivals, picnics, beaches, shopping, movies, reading, baking, origami, scrapbooks, hands-on work, seafood, Madison Dislikes: the Vees (Vox and Valentino in particular), most of her coworkers, alcohol, thunderstorms, isolation, shallowness Sexuality: Bisexual Sins: Murder Job: VoxTek IT Technician Background: Evelyn Ward was a big name in the Golden Age of Hollywood as an actress and singer. It started when she was young, participating in any theatrical production she could find whether it be school plays or anything in the local theater. Acting, stage crew, selling tickets; it didn’t matter. She was simply content with just basking in the world of performing arts. Upon appearing in more acting roles, she eventually went professional leading to performing on grander stages and even television commercials. Even after achieving all that she had, Nadine began to notice that since she ceased all work “behind the scenes,” all praise for her went towards her beauty and nothing else. Although she was proud of it, Evelyn found herself questioning her talent and intelligence which were also things she once never doubted. Life as a celebrity became more of a chore than anything else. At least until she met him.

Meeting through the same industry, the man in question was kind and charming, quickly winning her over throughout their encounters. Eventually they were married and were quite happy…at least until his untimely death. At that time, it destroyed Evelyn losing a husband, but not before finding out she was with child. The guilt of not telling her husband of their future child ate away at her, though she initially kept quiet considering he had not wanted children. Not long after his death, Evelyn was attacked by men who claimed to know her husband. Apparently he had dealt in some shady business and apparently her husband had some unresolved issues. In short, something went wrong and now his family had to pay the price. When one of the men went after her newborn daughter, Jeanette, all Evelyn could see was red. Once the haze dissipated, her baby was wailing and the blood of three men was splattered all over the floor and wall.

Evelyn Ward, now going by Nadine Sawyer, took her child and essentially disappeared, changing her entire identity and devoting herself to raising her daughter on her own. It was difficult and often she felt hopeless and overwhelmed, but to have her child with her made it all worth it in the end. However, tragedy struck when she was caught in an accident involving a crashing car into a fire hydrant and wires from a telephone pole to snap and electrocute her to death, sending her straight to hell. As a sinner, Nadine did just about as well as anyone else, if not a little better. Life in hell was never that easy, but having electrical powers certainly gave her an edge. Things were going smoothly…but then she found Jean during an Extermination of all times. Both made it through and stuck close together, essentially returning to how things were before…only now in hell.

As an occupation, Sawyer decided to stray from the performing arts and decided to try her hand at one of her other talents: tinkering. She worked with anything she had, mainly scraps she could find abandoned on the streets or in the garbage. Adapting to the developing technology over the years, Sawyer was able to earn more and more customers and money fixing electronics. That, unfortunately, caught the attention of Vox, who had learned of a ‘third-party tech’ stealing business away from him. She was abducted from her workshop and brought to him where she underwent intense interrogation, though she refused to submit to his will. During that time, Vox discovered Jean’s existence and, with obvious malicious intent, offered her an ultimatum: he was going to get a deal out of this situation whether it was from her or her daughter. Experiencing his capabilities firsthand, Sawyer knew he could and would follow through on his threat. With a heavy heart, she accepted and made a deal: in exchange for her soul and employment, Vox and any of his associates were forbidden from harming Jean. Other specifics were included, one of which being a confidentiality agreement that she could not disclose any information regarding their deal to anyone else.

Life as an employee at VoxTek was not entirely unbearable in the beginning. Of course, there were the obvious issues: outlandish demands from her new boss (master), hazing from the more bitter and bloodthirsty coworkers, and the lack of privacy of any kind. Few as there were, she couldn’t deny there were benefits such as the pay, the few coworkers whose company she enjoyed, and the consistency of her schedule. Her most trusted colleague, Madison from the VoxTek marketing department, was especially a big help in coping with the stress of her situation.Overall, she was able to return home and be greeted by her sweet daughter and that’s what made it all worthwhile; however, she knew that came with risks. Sawyer couldn’t allow Jean out of her sight whenever possible, certain that Vox would find a way around the contract to harm both of them. It had pained her to keep her daughter hidden and trapped at home, but she felt like it was the only way to protect her. She could not have anticipated Vox catching on to this and initiated a plan to draw Jean out into the open.

More work was placed on her plate which kept her prisoner at work. Quite literally, as one condition of the contract was she was forbidden from leaving the premises until all work assigned was completed. She would spend days or even weeks away from home and couldn’t even make personal calls, not able to inform her daughter of her condition. It was one day she was working on a group project when one of her coworkers commented on having a ‘cute kid’ and remarked how nice it was of the boss to give her a tour of the place. Quickly assessing the situation, it was all too clear what was about to happen and Sawyer jumped to action and intervened before a deal could be made. When Valentino stepped onto the scene and put hands on Jean, Sawyer was able to retaliate and incapacitate both overlords and the entire surveillance system. This allowed her to aid Jean in escaping the building and get to their secure safehouse without Vox being able to track her.

From then on, if work was hell before, it was made even worse than ever. So much work was put on Sawyer that she was essentially kept prisoner at the Vee Tower. Since so few people were aware of what happened that day, many of her coworkers considered her to be Vox’s ‘favorite’ seeing as he would always be watching her and interacting with her. He could have been waiting for Jean to return so he could attempt to make a deal or it could just be her punishment for insubordination. It could have been both, but it was hard to say for certain. On top of work, she would use her abilities to survey the areas and keep an eye out for Jean through the cameras. She was unable to find a trace of Jean since she escaped which provided relief and also intense dread. As long as her child was safe, Sawyer would endure any hell thrown her way. Personality: Sawyer is a no-nonsense kind of person, always giving her all into anything she does. She’s a passionate and dedicated individual that doesn’t really know how to do any less. It can often intimidate those around her and is considered to come off as intense. She can also come off as stubborn, rebellious, and even unapproachable at times.

Of course, these are traits that can’t help but come out even when she’s putting on a front. Sawyer is well aware that in a place like Hell, she needed to show no weakness of any kind. She utilized her acting skills to put on various personas for any situation in order to have it end in her favor. Most of the time, Sawyer prefers not to escalate confrontations and tries to diffuse them as quickly as possible.

Sawyer is also a conscientious and careful kind of person. She’s always thinking many steps ahead in the situations she believes matters the most. Fully aware that not everything can go her way, she prioritizes her safety and that of her daughter’s. Though she tries to avoid the very situation, a time or two has come when she would do so even at the expense of others. Guilt did eat at her when innocents were caught in the crossfire, but would otherwise not care very much when people who were openly harmful to others were collateral damage.

As if it weren’t obvious enough, Jean is Sawyer’s entire world and her greatest weakness. After losing everything when she was alive, her child was all she had left. Although she managed to build another life afterwards, that mindset never changed. Many had described her as being a very doting and devoted mother every step of the way, even to the very end of her human life. Habits & Quirks:

A very private person and, as a former actress, very good at putting on a front to conceal it. Very few people know anything about her, even Jean knowing so little.

Sawyer has a resting bitch face. The most obvious way she expresses emotion is her eyes and the way electricity that flies off of her body.

She often lies down when she’s thinking. In any room she uses, she has a couch placed just for that purpose.

Sawyer is quite intuitive and also has a strong maternal instinct. One of the greatest examples is the time of her death in which she could sense the danger coming and managed to push Jean away in order to escape that same fate.

Trivia:

Sawyer has abilities very similar to Vox’s which is part of the reason she believes he wanted her soul. She can travel through electricity and watch through the cameras and screens. Much of this power, however, had been limited due to the terms of her deal with Vox.

In the beginning, Sawyer made it her mission to make Vox regret ever forcing her into a deal by being an absolute menace at the workplace. She would work too slow, sabotage any developing projects, etc.

The deal between Sawyer and Vox was given many conditions between the two:

Sawyer’s powers are extremely limited as a way for Vox to keep her under control. It also minimizes any damage done should she choose to retaliate due to her rebellious nature.

Sawyer was sure to implement specific conditions that would further protect Jean from the Vees. One of them being they could not coerce her into a deal (ex: Vox cannot use his hypnotic powers nor the Love Potion to force her into a deal lest that deal become invalid; both hers and Jean’s).

Knowing Valentino’s violent temper, Vox was sure it would only be a matter of time before Jean was caught in the crossfire and the soul contract would become invalid. However, since that was Sawyer’s main condition, he got creative with it. He offered the condition that he and his associates couldn’t harm her (that wouldn’t include subordinates) and should they do so, the restraints on her power can be released and free for her to use until the threat is subdued. In this way, even if Jean were to get hurt by their hands, Vox can still keep Sawyer’s soul so long as he allows her to eliminate the threat to her child.

There are times that Vox will have Sawyer accompany him to work events as arm candy when Valentino isn’t available or their situationship is on the rocks. These are one of the times Sawyer loathes the most as Valentino gets jealous very easily and often takes pleasure in showing her personally.

Though she did manage to incapacitate Valentino and Vox at the same time, even Sawyer admits it had nothing to do with being stronger and all to do with the element of surprise along with it being a terrible matchup. It makes sense as Jean described the encounter as Sawyer becoming a sentient bug zapper for Valentino and catching Vox off guard long enough to fry his circuits.

Dan is Trigon

So! The Teen Titans had been chasing down a Cult lately, and they had finally managed to track down their main bases location.

Unfortunately, they got there just a bit too late and the Summoning Ritual they had been preforming was finished. The Being they had been calling crawled up and out of the Circle drawn in Blood on the floor.

And Raven felt her heart Stop. Because that Being crawling it's way out of the Summoning Circle looked almost exactly like her Father's True Form. But also different.

Where her Father's hair was a White Flame, this one's hair looked like Freshly Fallen Snow. Instead of her Father's Blood Red Skin, this being had Icy Blue Skin. And most strikingly, In place of her Father's Piercing Red Eyes, this being had Lazarus Green Eyes.

But even with all those changes, she could still the similarities in the Bone Structure, the shape of the Jaw, and most importantly the Untold Power radiating off of them.

Before they could react, the Being turned its attention to the Cultists.

"Who Dares Summon, the Ghost King?"

"We do, Out Lord Pariah Dark! We Beseech Thee, take this unclean world and tear it down! Cleanse the World of its Filth!"

"Oh Goddammit, not again." Said the Being, "Look, Pariah hasn't been in Power for Centuries. I, am Phantom. And I don't do the whole 'Destroy all Worlds' thing, you want your own constellation? I'm your guy. Otherwise? Bite it."

"Bu-But my Lord! We summoned you to-"

"Yeah how about no." Said the unimpressed God, "Here, let me send you guys Home. I'll give you guys some riches or something as compensation, but that's it."

And with that, the God snapped its fingers and the cultists disappeared.

"Now, who are you kids?" He turned to them.

Robin stepped forward, "We are the Teen Titans, and originally we came to stop them from Summoning you. Now, I honestly don't know what to do..."

"Oh, you guys are Heroes! That's interesting, I don't come across worlds with Heroes very often." Said the Ghost King, "The last one was the one with those Revengers or whatever they called themselves. The Spider Totem was fun to talk to, and Thor is always..."

As Phantom mumbled to himself, Raven stepped up. "King Phantom, I have a Question. Why do you resemble the true form or Trigon so closely? As his Daughter, I can recognize your similarities easily, and I was curious."

The King stopped dead.

"...daughter?"

"Oh, yes. Trigon is my father, though obviously I haven't talked to him recently." She explained.

"...that asshole." He said, "How could he not tell me I had a NIECE!?"

Wait what?
