Also, I think I'm gonna switch Marley from being 14 to being 12, partially because I have too many 14 yr old ocs, and secondly because I just think I've been envisioning them as younger since I started incorporating them into Mocha and Risa's story

#rat rambles #oc posting #they were also a minor antag in the kids side of the melody and ramp story and thats not changing but now they have more of a story #so I have a more specific image of them in my head now #for some background they live in one of the two main worlds in the magic cat story that is mostly made of wild magic #actually this story specifically is kinda unique in the fact that it like solely takes place in the magic world most of them are in both #but yeah this world is very chaotic and often ever shifting which can make it very hard to live in #luckily theres almost always one persob who basically acts as a catalist for stability #they regulate and stablelise the magic in a large area around them and are typically the leader of whatever society is built around them #long ago the location was probably less consistant but at this point its been pretty much in the same area for a couple hundred years #but yeah these guys are usually mostly immortal but every 50 years or so therell be a couple dozen potential heirs born at random #these guys are typically minor magic stabelisers in a much much smaller area but more importantly they can take the role of the primary #anchor by killing the current one #now how the anchors handle this depends on who it is ofc and not every potential heir is gonna go for it but the current guy isnt a fan #he actually is from the other world and by all means shouldnt have been able to take power but blah blah blah ~worldbuilding~ he did #he wanted to just kill them all right away but he didnt rly have any way to enact that effectively so quite a few slid under the radar #marley being one of them #now left on their own who knows what marley would have done abt this but their father very much wanted them to take power #and I wont go into too many specifics since itd require a lotta worldbuilding explenations but woo harsh training and absorbing ppls power #their father kidnapped one of the 14 yr old gang from the other story to help marley get used to killing but marley didnt rly know abt that #until after they decided she was funny and cool as hell and was trying to help her find her wau out #(she being the one I havent designed nor talked abt much yet sorry lol) #marley's dad got mad as hell especially when marley timidly protested at the command to kill her so he kicked them out telling them that he #wouldnt accept a pathetic weakling and that theyd need to prove themself to him to be allowed back home #he also threatened them more by insisting that theyll be nothing without him and yada yada #so yeah marley is having a bad time #luckily mocha would find them while out on an expidition job towards the edges of the stable lands
