You Mentioned That Katya And Maggie Once Were One Character And That Some Of Your Characters Changed
You mentioned that Katya and Maggie once were one character and that some of your characters changed over time. Could you tell more about their origins?
Uh sure but little warning: This will be a long post.
First of all it's not like they were one character at first. I explained it kinda wrong all my characters were created independently of each other but over time they started to get very similar to two other characters that I had first and so I decided tom combine some things etc. The names of my first ocs were Alpha and Omega and beside them I had another one named Sigma. This were my big three main characters at first and they were all children who were abducted and raised under HYDRA and the Red Room.
At the same time I also wanted to make a story about the daughters of Steve and Bucky and I started the first concept of HADES who at that time kinda was HYDRA who decided to make their own thing separat from HYDRA because they had other goals and ideas. I made four other characters named Sarah Rogers, Rebecca Barnes, Maggie Moon and Sam Finch who were at first just minor characters. Sarah and Rebecca were only super soldiers at first, Maggie had almost all abilities she has now except of Animakinesis (This was one of the main abilities of Alpha at first) and Finch only had the ability of shapeshifting.

Sarah was the daughter of Steve and Peggy and Rebecca the daughter of Natasha and Bucky while Maggie didn't really had a family yet I only knew I wanted her to be the daughter of Beast but I mainly created her as a child that would be abducted by a HYDRA branch what would become HADES later. So I didn't bothered to think much about her family.
That's where my problem came up: First of all I didn't wanted to erase what the Red Room had done to Natasha and her sterilization and beside that I didn't really knew what to do with Sarah and Rebecca. So I decided that they got abducted by HYDRA and the Red Room like Alpha, Sigma, Omega and also Maggie. Their names were taken away and they got numbers as names (Don't remember the number anymore but I think I still have it written down somewhere). Sarah and Rebecca became part of the Black Widow and Winter Soldier program and recieved the super soldier serum.
And then Stranger Things Season 1 came out and I fell in love with it. I decided to choose Millie Bobby Brown as FC for Sarah and gave Sarah and Rebecca the same powers like Eleven. New idea new problem: Sarah, Rebecca and Maggie started to become very similar to Alpha and Omega storywise and with their abilities. (I also had Millie as FC for Alpha beside another FC named Cailee Spaeny) Also I wanted my characters to be based on the MCU but this wasn't possible with that concept of Sarah and Rebecca being the daughters of Peggy/Steve and Nat/Bucky but having them still the same age because they were supposed to grow up together.
That's why I decided to drop my ideas and to start from the beginning. I also started to make HADES it's very own organization and gave it it's own name etc. but they still had connections with HYDRA and the Red Room and then also with the X-Program. Now Sarah and Rebecca weren't born normally anymore but instead created from their parents DNA by HADES and I made them mutants.
Time went by and Stranger Things Season 2 came out and Max made her first appearance. I decided to use her as FC for Rebecca. It was just perfect Millie as FC for Sarah looking like Peggy with brown eyes and hair and Sadie for Rebecca looking like Nat with red hair and blue eyes.
The thing is I wasn't really happy with what I created with Sarah and Rebecca and I also wasn't happy with the names of them because that were the names of Steve's mother and Bucky's sister. Sooo I started again and decided to give Sarah the name Yekaterina and for Rebecca I had Aleksandra or Melaniya in mind. I also decided to change FC's because Sadie (Max) just vibed more with the idea I had for Katya like her personality etc. while Millie (Eleven) was more a fit for Melaniya (I chose this name now because I have another character with the name Alexander so I didn't wanted her to have the "same name").
But this gave me a new problem: My head couldn't see the new FC of Katya as bio daughter of Peggy and the new FC of Melaniya for Nat because for me Millie looked more like Peggy and Sadie more like Nat. This led me to the point that I threw out this idea again and came up with the idea that they were created from the DNA of Steve and Bucky and two Black Widows and Peggy and Nat would then become their stepmothers. And from there slowly but surely their story like it is today came to be.

Now to Maggie and Alpha: They actually kinda always stayed the same like I created them at first as two mutant girls that were abducted by HYDRA (Alpha) and HADES (Maggie). I didn't had so much struggle while creating them, than I had with Katya and Melaniya. The only change I made not so long ago was I combined Maggie and Alpha together because they were almost the same character with only little differences. Maggie was more part of the X-Men and Alpha was more part of the Avengers. Also they had minor differences in abilities like I already said with Animakinesis that was only an ability of Alpha but later I added this to Maggie's abilities when I made them one.
Another difference was that Alpha's family were all ocs that were killed by HYDRA when she was abducted while Maggie's family was still alive. So the family that first were Alpha's family became Maggie's foster family that also were killed by HADES while some other family memebers of Alpha also became Maggie's family on her mother's side who also are all ocs. Also Alpha was kidnapped when she still was a baby about 1 year and Maggie was a little older between 3-5 years.
After I decided to make them one character I also added some other story parts into Maggie's story like the brother Alpha had in HYDRA who got killed after they made a plan to escape. This triggered an outburst in her and the soul of her brother took over her body which led to the destruction of HYDRA. For Maggie this part is almost the same but with a little difference. Maggie also got a brother in HADES with whom she made a plan to break free. He got "killed" what triggered an outburst in Maggie too which led to the destruction of HADES. But different than with Alpha it wasn't her brother who took over but the Darkness an old entity that was born from the Phoenix Force. It's a demon-like force that always tries to take over Maggie's body and mind. Also different than with Alpha, Maggie's brother didn't really died or more like he didn't stayed dead. He can't really die because of a revival he had when he was a young boy and because of a curse. Alpha's brother on the other hand really died and was only able to appear as a ghost until Alpha set him free.
Another similarity was that both got abducted by a man called the Boogeyman. In Alpha's story it was a HYDRA agent and a mutate while in Maggie's story it was a HADES agent who also was a mutant and had been a child of HADES before he got "promoted" and became a loyal memeber of HADES.
In a way the team Forlorn Hope was part of Alpha's story at first. But it just didn't worked out. I didn't saw Alpha on their team but for me Maggie fit very well with them, most of all Corvus who I made her brother in HADES who "died" but was revived again. Previously my plan was that Alpha joined Forlorn Hope after her escape. At one point they were supposed to get attacked by the Boogeyman who wanted to get Alpha back and killed the other members. Alpha manged to escape again was found by SHIELD and then joined the Avengers. Maggie on the other hand was supposed to escape HADES and then be found by the X-Men, where her father was part of the team. But like I said I just didn't saw Alpha on this team so I made some changes. Alpha escaped HYDRA and was found by SHIELD and then joined the Avengers, while Maggie escaped HADES, was brought to a foster family that got killed and then met the team Forlorn Hope. Not knowing who she really was she decided to join them because they promised her to help her find out who she was etc. More stuff happened she met the X-Men found out who she is and who her parents are. She never offically left Forlorn Hope but the leader Ragnar decided it would be better to leave her at Xavier's school with her parents to which everyone agreed. So Maggie is still part of Forlorn Hope but also joined the X-Men after they left.
After I combined Alpha with Maggie I also combined Sigma with Finch. Sigma was the best friend/other brother from Alpha and Finch the best friend/other brother of Maggie. But different than Sigma, Finch wasn't part of HADES. I only added Sigma's abilities to Finch.


So yeah that's how my characters changed over time and how out of Alpha, Omega and Sigma "became" Katya, Melya, Maggie and Finch. It was never really planed but after all the changes Katya and Maggie just became so similar to Alpha that I decided to split Alpha into Katya and Maggie. So that's what I meant with they were "one" character before. I hope you could understand my explanation. It was kinda chaotic because their creation was chaotic but I tried to get it in order as good as I could. Just remember I have my characters since 2015/16 so it's been a very long time since I've been working on them.

What are your favorite tumblr blogs?
Oooooohhhh an opportunity to make an appreciation post! (Btw the order doesn't mean anything so know if you are the last on the list doesn't mean I love you any less!)
PS: Had to make this two parts because apperantly tumblr only allows 4096 words...
Part I (here) | Part II
@antvnger: I know Ant Mun for a while now. Met them sometime at the start of this year I guess and even if we haven't interacted much lately and stuff I'm still going through his page almost everyday to see what he has been up to. The mun is one of the sweetest persons I ever met and is so amazing in potraying Scott (who I just live as much as I love Ant Mun).
@spideymn: Probably the one I know the longest here on tumblr. I met her somewhen at the end of last year and we wrote together like every day before I went on a longer tumblr break. I was so sad and heartbroken when I couldn't find her on tumblr anymore not knowing that we have been writing together the whole time not knowing that it was us. Guess the moment we realized it, was one of my absolut favorite moments here on tumblr. She's such a sweet and honest person and she was one of the first who let me feel comfortable for being myself and to reach out to her for whatever reason. And tbh she's also one of the persons why I decided to come back here in the first place.
@silently-judgingyou: Another one I know longer here. While the two of us haven't talked as much as I did with Spidey Mun I still enjoyed our conversation and our rps. They're always so wholesome and I love to see the interactions between MJ and Morgan and how both of them started to build a sisterly bond. I also love the thread we started with Katya and MJ. We haven't done much yet but it's so funny to see the two girls who don't want to talk to anyone and want to be left alone get to know eachother. The mun is also such a sweet and nice person and I'm so happy to have her around.
@remarkableheroes: My dear and beloved Bucky! The moment I saw your OC Anya I instantly fell in love and thought OMG! Wanna write with them! You have no idea how scared I was to reach out and how happy I was when you said yes. And now look at us! We just talked about making our Ocs officialy to eachothers stories, something I thought I would never do again until I met you. In all these years you have been the first Oc mun where I felt comfortable to try it again. I love everything about you and Anya but also your other muses. You are such a sweet and amazing person and I'm so happy that I found you and got to know you.
@skallagrimulfhedinn/@michaelandadam: Another person I knew from my first try here on tumblr and who I love so much. The mun has such amazing characters and I love writing with them so much. I love Skallagrim and Ash and tbh when the Mun told me about the SPN rp blog I made a little scream. SPN has been one of my favorite fandoms I was ever part of and I literaly cried during the last episode. I was really suprised and happy to see how SPN is kinda making a return. and this Mun plays Adam so well and I can't wait to see how they will play Michael at one point.
@azuresrp: Guess what? Yep this beautiful person here was also one of my old friends who I found here on tumblr before my break… Or more like who found me. They're so sweet and amazing and have such a great character. I love Ryan, I love his story and I love the mun and our interactions. Most of all I love our ooc talk and plotting. It's just so much fun to talk with them about our characters or about whatever else we are talking about. And it's so funny everytime we haven't spoken for a while both of us can be sure the next message will start with a "Sorry it took so long… life happened."
@kyber-infinitygems/@neonsoundbite: Amazing person, amazing Mun, amazing Ocs, amazing Story! Just AMAZING! I love Luc and I love Brenna! They're also one of my favorite Ocs I saw here on tumblr. I love talking ooc with the mun which we have done the most and I love it so much that she shares the same love for Bruce than I do. I literaly know not a single person who has Bruce as one of their favorites and I was so happy when I saw her love for Bruce! And I also love the fact that she shipped her Oc not with a major character like Steve, Tony or Thor like everyone else always does… No she chose Kurt Goreshter. Such an amazing character who honestly doesn't get enough love and attention. Like he's actually so funny but always gets overlooked and forgotten! But not by her which I think is so cool and awesome. And omg her drawings and edits! They're so amazing!
How is the name Avy/Avis pronounced
Good question dear anon. So there are two ways to pronounce it as far as I know.
Ay-vee/Ay-vis (The A is pronaunced like in Ava)
Ah-vee/Ah-vis (The A is pronaunced like in Ave)
I'm not an expert in latin but I talked to one who learned it and they told me the right latin pronunciation is Ah-vis, which is also the one I prefer and what I also saw on different websites.
On some english websites I also saw it was written Ah-wis, so a "W" instead a "V", which means in english the sound of the "V" in the name is supposed to sound like a "W" but tbh I have no idea. Really just think of the names Ava and Ave and you get the V sound right.
So yeah you can use both versions I don't mind, especially for Avy because this can also be a nickname for Avery. Just say it like it's easier for you. I mean I myself prefer the version Ah-vee/Ah-vis but in the end I don't know how you pronaunce it I just see the name written and pronaunce it that way I like.
Oh thank you very much I'll put them on my list! And I'm so in for some Dad!Steve!
Is there a specific order I should read them or can I just pick one and start? Until now I always just read mangas and they're so much different to read than comics. You always know where to start and how to continue but with Marvel comics it's like some stuff I can just start reading and for others I need to have some specific knowledge to understand them. Beside that it also feels like the characters are all over the place. So this is really overwhelming xD
Why am I doing this to myself? 😭 I really decided to start reading the marvel comics... While I wish I could read everything that ever came out, I know this won't be possible... So yeah idk where I start and what I'll be reading. For now I want to concentrate on The X-Men and Avengers especially Beast, Nightcrawler, Hulk, Captain America, Black Widow and The Winter Soldier. I also want to know more about Krakoa
Soooo if anyone has any recommendations on what to definitely read. Think this would make it much easier for me...
Stuff that is already on my list are:
House of X & Powers of X
Dark Phoenix Saga
House of M
Days of Future Past
Age of Apocalypse
Astonishing X-Men
New X-Men
Giant-Size X-Men
Wolverine & The X-Men
Avengers vs X-Men
Secret Wars
Infinity Saga
Secret Invasion
Comic Version of Maggie
