Abyssal Oc - Tumblr Posts
What if I did the following...(Another Batman oc, just because i can...)
Make an OC of Batman, in which, let's say, he is an Atlantean, but what will differentiate him from the Atlanteans, he is from a sub-species.
In my Headcanon, the Atlanteans (Pure, cannot go to deep seas, such as the Mariana Trench), and in this, there is a subspecies that can do this, which are the Abyssals (Inspired by abyssal sea creatures, which live at this depth), They have animal characteristics (gills on the neck, webbed hands, Bioluminescence, some have the power to, let's say, have abilities related to an marine animal, for example: Some abyssals can shoot ink and also use camouflage like octopuses, Some can inject venom through their nails (like stonefish and lionfish), some are bigger (like whales) and are tougher/stronger than others. But some, in particular, may be born with a mix of animal abilities, depending on their genetic heritage, like the Atlanteans, they cannot walk on the surface (unless they are hybrids, and also if they wear armor).
About my Oc: He is a hybrid of human and abyssal (just like Aquaman), however he is in this case, an abyssal leviathan (one of the strongest specimens that exists in the abyssal species), and he has magical/abyssal potential, since he is a demonic sea serpent, and he can be stronger than Superman (by using magic, according to him), their potential reaches, let's say, he can swim at absurd speeds and strength, agility, flexibility, reflexes and other attributes at very strong levels (this is when he is an Adult, in the abyssal species, you reach your maximum potential at 28 years old), At the moment, my Oc is only at the enhanced level (but he can use his powers a lot, but he still learns). He learned Krav Maga and Kung Fu, he uses the Dragon style of Kung Fu, He can conjure lightning (due to his horns), and he can see and have an internal glow (bioluminescence), quite high, he can see very well in the dark, He also has a very strong build, He has lines on his body, which make them glow as he uses his bioluminescence, and he uses his rays. He took after his mother's leviathan side (and she is a very tall woman, being 1.98m in human form, to disguise herself) and her abyssal form goes up to 4.5 meters, And his father was short, 1.66m tall, My Oc, he has eyes like this:
(His eyes glow in the dark, every time he breathes you can see his whole skeleton glowing, he too, can drink alcohol and not get drunk, but he prefers to drink juices, he has small horns, which allow him to generate lightning), He has to wear sunglasses, so that no one looks at his eyes and finds him scary (but only his friends and his adoptive brothers, they don't find his eyes strange, but beautiful).
He had his first contact with Batman when he was 8 years old, it was when he saved the batboat, which was sinking, and he decided to rise to the surface, then he decided to swim away in high speed. He appears months later, after he is out on the street at night, and is stealing fish to eat, Batman appears and decides to take him in, He has to wear a mask to hide the fangs in his mouth, but Raven (his romantic partner), finds his fangs quite unique. He lost his father when he was 4 years old, he refused to go to an orphanage, and decided to raise himself alone, he buried his father at sea. He was 6 years old and swam from where he lived (Iceland) to Gotham alone.
Under Batman's tutelage, he was also taught to read and speak languages, he speaks a total of 10 languages(Icelandic, English, Atlantean, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Hebrew, Mandarin and Esperanto).
Maybe, I'll give more details about him ^-^
❗cw: blood (a little bit)❗
My Dusk Caste Abyssal from Exalted ttrpg
His title is Quartz Crumbs of Wyrm's Teeth. Or Quartz for short. Or, if you're a meanie and a hater, Crumbs. Fun fact: "crumb" in my native language is also a slang for "babygirl". Do what you will with this information 😌
Quartz is that one anime character type who is just idiotic (/affectionate) and aggressive while also being a loser. It's not that he's a huge danger (to other Exalted, normal mortals have my condolences). It's just that his default settings are loud and screaming threats which he may or may not execute afterwards.
Honestly, he was an idiotic and loud creature when he was Solar as well, so personality-wise little changed after his Abyssal Exaltation. He didn't actually want to take the whole Abyssal deal, but Deathlord who laid his eyes on Quartz managed to, well, convince him. It wasn't a pleasurable process, but it happened. Now Quartz dutifully (yeah, very, he's the most dutiful servant to have (no)) serves his Deathlord, while quietly pondering whether he should try to get his freedom back or if the risk is not worth it.
Expect more pictures with this bastard sometime soon, he has my brain in a chokehold
❗ cw: much more blood under the cut❗
Quartz (my Dusk Abyssal OC) gets a watermelon because I like him. My silly evil son. Not a single thought behind those beautiful eyes...
(Quartz has actually bought the watermelon. With actual money. Terrifying everyone in the local village by appearing there and peacefully making the purchase. I mean, more like throwing money at some poor farmer who was ready to give Quartz anything for free in exchange for mercy for themselves and their family, but still. Quartz didn't want the unfortunate person or their family, he wanted a watermelon and decided to be somewhat nice about it. And afterwards Quartz just left without really harming anyone but still refusing to elaborate.)
(The money he gave to the farmer was probably thrown out the second Quartz left, and the farmer is probably now getting a lot of side-eye glances (at best), but oh well. It's their problems, not Quartz's.)
❗blood (a bit)❗
Tap on picture for better quality, as usual :]
The cipher on the right translates to "these swords still carry the warmth of your hands"
This picture was meant to be about touch starvation and trying to get softness where you can, even from things which harm you. To give your own meaning to things in order to feel just a little bit more loved, even if it doesn't make any sense in actuality. I don't feel like I did the idea justice. But whatever.
This is Quartz Crumbs of Wyrm's Teeth, my Abyssal Exalted OC, whom you might've seen in my previous posts. Of course I gave tragic backstory even to my aggressive and idiotic bastard (/affectionate). No character is safe from my desire to cry 😎
A bit of process and additional picture under the cut:
Process. I really like the lineart, especially my attempt at making Quartz's hands kinda relaxed and gentle in this piece. Nothing shows what I wanted to show better then gentleness to something that's killing you.
And additional picture. I don't know whose hand that is, by the way. I don't have an OC who would get this close to Quartz to show affection to him yet. I don't know if I ever will. I'm making myself sad thinking about it, mission accomplished, yay :'D
I continue my exaltedposting. Here is Hope for a Universal Summer, my Zenith Solar lady. She's from Whitewall, so I tried to include both asian and slavic elements in her design.
And something like Modern AU! Quartz, my Dusk Abyssal OC, whom you might've seen in my last, like, three posts. Only I have troubles designing modern characters in interesting ways, but oh well. I still like this pic :]
Turned my sona into an Abyssal. Might reveal more info about her soon.
Forgot to post this but... this is Penny's older brother as an Abyssal. What a grumpy boi
Hope you like it 😋
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO COOL YIPPPEEEE!!! PENNY AND FELIX MY BELOVED 💙🤍
