I Made Myself A Lame Reverse 1999 OC, So That Every Gacha I'm Currently Playing Could Have An OC For

I made myself a lame Reverse 1999 OC, so that every gacha I'm currently playing could have an OC for me to obsess over

This is Alexei Kashtanov (his surname is based on Russian for chestnuts fyi), and this is not his real name. He is originally from 1960s, USSR (sorry I'm too dumb to do the whole "an arcanist's work exhibited" thing), where he was actually a spy for USA, since, y'know, Cold War and things. His spying business was actually discovered and if not for the Storm and St. Pavlov Foundation saving him, his story would have ended very very very badly.

He's currently working as a spy again, this time for the Foundation, trying to infiltrate Manus Vindictae. His arcane skill is changing his own physiology (like slowing heartbeat or stopping pain signals from coming through to his brain), but I'm not sure whether it's a good idea in canon terms or not, so I accept criticism and suggestions.

Also. Red socks on men >>>>>> . That's it that's the post.

What do agents of Technocratic Union have in their trunk? Wrong answers only.

Meanwhile, out of the trunk, from left to right we have:

- an N.W.O. agent who was a Grey Suit before being demoted to MiB for making too many decisions on his own - decisions which turned out not like both he and his superiors hoped they would;

- a low-ranking Syndicate agent who was in mob before Awakening (which was a side effect of Technocratic operation concerning his organisation...) and who technically stays in mob. I mean, Extralegal (what a word!) Division of Syndicate Enforcers is basically a mafia;

- a Void Engineer whose Horizon Construct was messed up during Dimensional Anomaly (Avatar Storm) and who now deals with paranormal on Earth out of inability to stay away from action.

The afterlife smells of freshly cut grass.

Local redcap and sluagh being siblings towards each other day 6171819101192633. No, literally. These two have been self-proclaimed brother and sister since like their second life as changelings. They have been siblings for centuries now, in different bodies and circumstances. They have also been a pair of menaces to everyone else for centuries as well 😌

So, a bit of disclaimer. This is a Beast the Primordial OC. He is based on a rewrite of original game. I love the idea of making characters out of something that scares me, I've done it since childhood and it has always felt therapeutic. It's a direction I'm going in with this guy, for example. And it really is a shame that a gameline that could have given me a game made for this was partially written by a messed up person. I do not support him, his actions, or his ideas, obviously. That's why, once again, I'll be using a rewrite.

Having said that, here is Eric vibing in his native reality, sort of custom-made dream (or, more precisely, nightmare) called Lair in game's term. I've also put a doodle with Eric's design under the cut.

Eric is based on fear of exposure, but in an indirect way: he is dedicated to the time, when I, thanks to the religious household I grew up in, was terrified that someone was hearing my thoughts, no matter how terrible and sinful or not. That's what Eric is all about.

His Lair, for example, has a trait where anything one thinks in there is automatically said out loud. Which does mean that Eric has heard some really weird, to put it lightly, things, and sometimes he gets psychic damage while trying to scare someone to feed from their fears. But actually this experience is slowly teaching Eric not to be scared of accidental thoughts, even weird or "sinful", and especially not to stigmatize people based on their intrusive thoughts, because words and actions speak louder and mean much more.
