OC Aesthetic Deep Dive Tag: Captain Faalgun Falani

Rules: Make a moodboard with your character's aesthetic, a playlist that fits their vibe, "badly summarize them" (like, talk about their personality, but funnily), etc. It absolutely does not need to be super detailed!!!!!

I figured it'd be fun to do a character I haven't talked about much yet, so here's my little dragon man :)

Moodboard:

Music:

Dead Man Walking by Brent Faiyaz

Casual Fatality by Night Hawk

Elstree by The Buggles

Drink by Destroy Boys

Heaven by I Monster

(I think the common theme between all these is a deep, underlying sadness, but they still manage to be comically different lol)

Basic Summary:

Faalgun was born on the Flying City and given up to an orphanage at a young age. It was a nice space, and though he was always a little distant from the other kids due to his runty size and serious demeanor, he had a happy childhood for the most part. He joined the Flying City Ten'ka (merchant guards) right out of school, and had the makings of a fine career as a pilot, except for one thing.

Faalgun has a bit of an addictive personality. He might be uptight, but all sense of caution goes out the window when he gets an adrenaline rush. He flies crazier, takes risks, and makes rash decisions to keep that rush going. I'm sure you can guess that when he was introduced to gambling, it didn't go well.

He racked up debt quickly. He hated himself for it, but he couldn't put down the cards - the rush of adrenaline was just too powerful. In time, the debts got so bad that he lost his career, then his life when he was beaten in an alleyway. Now, as a ghost, he's been summoned back to pilot a ship past the edge of the sun's light. He hopes to succeed in death where he failed in life.

As for appearances, he's a little dragon guy! He stands at about three and a half feet tall, has blue scales, crystalline horns, and scaly whiskers. He wears the stained uniform he died in and his neck can swivel further than it should since he died when it was broken.

He's an honorable sort who runs a tight ship, despite his craving for adrenaline. He often accounts for his own weaknesses when he makes plans, in order to minimize the harm he might cause to his allies. Care for his crew also extends to their emotional states - Faalgun is attentive and eager to lend a listening ear, though he fervently avoids letting any of his crew know about his past life. There's a deep sense of shame at his core, no matter how good of a captain he is.

I'll tag @thecomfywriter @tragedycoded @greenfinchwriter @somethingclevermahogony and anyone else who wants to play :)

Bold What Applies!

Things We Lost In The Fire - Bastille

Things we lost to the flames Things we'll never see again All that we've amassed Sits before us, shattered into ash These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire We sat and made a list Of all the things that we have Down the backs of table tops Ticket stubs and your diaries, I read them all one day When loneliness came and you were away Oh they told me nothing new But I love to read the words you used These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

O.D.D - Hey Violet

I should never listen to another voice But my own Now I've grown up, now I know That when I'm tryna be myself it isn't so simple Anymore Some days I wake up I just wanna hide under the covers 'Cause no matter what I do I'll never be like all the others I'm a little O.D.D Most people really don't get me I'm the girl in the back of the class Blank stare, don't care, don't ask I'm a little O.D.D I see the way they look at me I can hear it when they talk that trash Saying "Any minute she gon' crack"

Welcome to Wonderland - Anson Seabra

Welcome to Wonderland, where should we go There's a tea party along down the road Make an appearance and maybe they'll sing us a song Dancing through a dream underneath the stars Laughing 'til the morning comes Everyone that leaves has a heavy heart Oh, Wonderland I love Nothing around here is quite as it seems Not sure if anything's real or a dream And the only thing sure from the start Is the song that's inside of your heart Don't let it leave If this was a dream, then at least I've got Memories for when morning comes Now that I must leave with a heavy heart Oh, Wonderland I love

Numb Little Bug - Em Behold

And the world it feels too big Like a floating ball that's bound to break Snap my psyche like a twig And I just wanna see if you feel the same as me Do you ever get a little bit tired of life Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive 'Cause you gotta survive Like your body's in the room but you're not really there Like you have empathy inside but you don't really care Like you're fresh outta love but it's been in the air Am I past repair A little bit tired of tryin' to care when I don't A little bit tired of quick repairs to cope A little bit tired of sinkin' There's water in my boat I'm barely breathin' Tryna stay afloat So I got these quick repairs to cope Guess I'm just broken and broke

♡ Badly Summarized OC ♡

A brilliant young telepath/telekinetic superhero fueled by coffee, candies and spite, as well as a truckload of pizza.

Puts her intellect to good use by creating the most unhinged plans and somehow making them work! Is the Gremlin Mom Friend.

Is terrified of fire because her father's business partner burned down his lab with him inside. Now doesn't know how to feel about the fact that one of her best friends controls flames.

She's probably a bit more childish and naive than the rest of the team but is sharp-witted and funny all the same. Also! Out of the starting members of the Gang, Saoirse is the only one who was born in serious wealth, though she lost it all.

If someone fused a black cat and an orange cat into one and turned them into a human being, that would be Saoirse.

Can speak a lot of languages but most of the cast doesn't know until she randomly starts spouting fluent words in foreign languages in a situation where that's required. (Cue the classic: "We didn't know you spoke [language X]!" followed by "... But you never asked?")

Gives suspiciously good relationship advice but has never dated before.

Loves a grunge style and absolutely revels in a goblin-core aesthetic, plus adores watching the chaos unfold from behind the scenes.

Has a deeper voice than one would expect, which often also sounds coarse when she's bored or focused.

Sleeps like a rock and could potentially sleep through the end of the world. Counts scientific facts instead of sheep when she can't fall asleep.

Can crawl and climb basically anywhere. This has nothing to do with her powers - she's just uncannily agile and stealthy, to the point she jumpscares her friends often lol.

YESS DO IT!!!

Imagine the sheer Chaotic Vibes! ✨

I just had the thought that if I were to actually make Serita and Ray a couple in BRS they would be SO INSUFFERABLE TOGETHER.

It's literally the two people with the biggest egos in the city working together and just feeding off each others energy. And the SASS from those two would be insane.

But they could be really cute too....

Thanks for the tag, @wyked-ao3! I've already done one of those here but I love this tag game and have a lot of fun doing it, so here we go again, this time with Valen & Luke from Scrapyard Boys!

(Also, shoutout to @thecomfywriter for creating this tag game!!!!! <3)

Also setting the stage! Let's think that, in this made-up scenario, Valen & Luke are stealing something from one of the warehouses belonging to the billionaire Jake Acheron, the villain of the story.

Valen and Luke would probably have made sure to properly bypass the security measures in the warehouse and gotten past electric fences (probably using Valen's powers to temporarily disable the charge so they could climb over the fence), armed guards, and multiple security cameras.

Then, when close to the warehouse, Valen would use the Henley shirt to craft a small, makeshift rope that he'll secure on one of the window's metal beams and use to climb the wall (with a boost from Luke) and crawl through the window. Once inside, he'll make sure he landed somewhere without any guards or henchmen, and then he'll find and open the door for Luke to get inside as well.

Then, Valen will use his powers to cause an electric discharge in the sector they're in, temporarily disabling the security cameras with a short circuit, hopefully without causing the lights to go out. Swiftly, they'll make their way through the hallways - now without worrying about being seen in the cameras, until they get close enough to the area of the warehouse where the bulk of the cargo is kept.

Getting through to that bigger area of the warehouse may prove a challenge, but using the oil and the lantern, Luke is able to set off the smoke alarms further down the warehouse, causing the door to be left unchecked. With the matches, the duo picks the lock and now inside the proper containment area of the warehouse, set off to try and find the vault.

Once they do find it, they do the following steps:

Valen shortcircuits the vault's security latch, causing it to fall open.

However, the Asset/MacGuffin that they want which is held within, is currently placed atop some kind of pressure plate. So, in a full "Indiana Jones" kind of move, Luke puts on the gloves - to avoid leaving DNA or fingerprints on the plate - and manages to swap the MacGuffin for the book with enough dexterity that the sensors don't go off.

They use the shovel to carve a whole on the warehouse's nearest brick wall that leads outside, after hiding the MacGuffin in one of their backpacks.

Then, they get out of the warehouse and haul-ass to the nearest exit route.

Once they're almost out, using the string as a makeshift sling throw the cup, Valen throws the cup strategically at a nearby alarm, to sound it off - just so he can watch the guards scramble to figure out what is going on, while he and Luke slip seamlessly through their fingers.

Successfully leaving behind the warehouse and the now panicking guards, the duo hops on the motorbike they used to get there, and drive as fast as they can to the inner city, before going to their hideout.

🦹‍♂️GAME- morreial's heist supplies 🦹‍♂️

While I lay there, waiting (I really did want those fruits), I scoured through my drawers, looking to collect all the necessary materials for this operation: a piece of string, a lantern, oil, matches, a book, a cup, an enchanted shovel, and a pair of gloves. And, of course, my navy blue Henley I found Caramel napping in the other day.

╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝✧༺♥༻∞╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝

tagging the TCW crew and all my followers to ask yall a goofy question: bolded above in blue are the tools Morreial uses in chapter 18 of Throne of Vengeance (ToV) to commit a heist of an armoured vault.

My question to y'all is-- how would you (or your ocs) use those supplies to commit the heist?

lmao this is so silly, but i'm curious, because editing me is reading this for the first time in months and i'm genuinely curious on how this man managed to pull this off when THIS is what he put in his toolbox.

Have fun!
