Oceptember - Tumblr Posts

Welcome to OCeptember! I’m doing this challenge with clusters by week. 

#1: Favorite OC

That’ll be Pluto, my favorite sona. Developed in 2019, she was made to be my self-insert in the world of The Executioners. She represents what I fear I would be if I had a worse personality or never tried fixing myself. However, many of the scenarios planned with her give her a redemption or healing arc that will help her grow to be a better person. :)

#2: Unexpectedly Loved OC

This one was really hard to choose, because either a ton of OCs or no OCs at all would qualify for this. I went with Hamsa Palmer because he was originally supposed to only be Pierre Amidt’s right hand man and bodyguard in my story The Illuminatist’s Acid Trip. He grew to have an actual face and personality and backstory from there.

#3: Least Loved OC

Dylan Kwan. Hands down most hated OC I made for 3 reasons: 1: He was one of a collection of OCs that were made in late 2019/early 2020 in a period I deem a cringe era because of a lot of ideas and actions I look back on as stupid and embarassing. 2: He was based on my brother and some other annoying and obnoxious content creators. I can’t stand his personality. 3: Dylan basically looked at Hyperlight, pointed at him, and had the audacity to say, “I’m gonna be him but better.” Which not only was stupid and full of hubris, but was also something he totally failed at. He’s in a better place now that I rehomed him in the Anomalous Research Institute with some other similar characters in the cringe era but I still hate his guts.

#4: Initial Designs

I typically don’t change OC designs much, if at all. Victor Afton (yes, it’s Afton. as in that family haha right Afton) used to be a cyborg corpse because it looked cool, but after reading The Twisted Ones and The Fourth Closet I realized that he could be an animus en machina, or “soul in the machine.” He has one of those disks that send out the deception frequency, for lack of better words. That gives him the appearance of a normal man. I really need to give him a proper ref because there’s so much to talk about him. He’s got 3 different versions of him now, pictured above.

#5: About the OC’s World

Let’s talk about Eta Carinae, shall we? I have to name for the actual world so I just call it Eta Carinae, the city most of the world’s development is from. It’s a place where I can move a lot of my Wings of Fire OCs to because I thought it’d be cool if they were in a cyberpunk world. The world of Eta Carinae also includes the Deadlands, along with a port city south from Eta Carinae called Capella. Eta Carinae itself is located at the border of 2 massive deserts and is kinda like a Las Vegas. An oasis in the middle of nowhere. To the immediate north is the Black Desert with volcanic activity and lava sand. To the immediate south is the White Desert, made of salt and very light colored sand. It makes for a very picturesque contrast at the border of the 2 deserts when seen from afar. 

#6: Regrets

I honestly didn’t understand what this meant. Perhaps regrets of what I should have done? That’s hard. I put down Expression just because I wasn’t able to use him that much when I still rped as him on the romac discord server. They still rp there, but it’s so fast-paced that I can’t keep up with my paragraph-response style. He was supposed to be a medic in training, but there were no chances for him to assist anyone. He was also supposed to have a little joke where he wasn’t allowed to enter the pub because he was only 17 and the rp kinda centered around a pub. That also didn’t happen. Final regret doesn’t really count because there’s still a chance of it happening but I still haven’t written my romac fanfic, Apocalyptically Romantic. It was supposed to be my rp characters kicked out of their rp universe and into a similar universe, just without any of the other rpers’ OCs. I worked hard on their backstories, so I wanted them to have more fun adventures than simply sitting on the shelf collecting dust. 

#7: Obscure Fact

This one’s for Hyperlight/Octavian Lung because I love him <3 and he’s the most solid, fleshed out character I’ve ever made. Anyways, obscure fact #342 about Octavian is that he dyes his hair a different color and pattern every month, and it’s usually seasonal themes. I drew him before on Christmas with white and red striped hair like a peppermint candy cane. Pictured above he styled his hair into strawberry blond curls. 

ughhhhhhhhhhh I left this sitting for 4 months. unbelievable. I had it finished and everything but didn’t want to post it sshdfjksfd

better late then never I guess

#8: What’s in Their Bag?

Let’s start off strong. I chose Chloe Pendragon, my first OC (along with Cloud) ever created. She’s like an assassin mercenary so she’s got weapons like daggers, shurikens, poisons in vials and hypos, a grappling hook with a rope, and a small first aid kit in case things get messy.

#9: Friends

So these are the next OCs that I made, same world as Chloe’s. Honestly they should be remade because their designs are pretty boring to me. But if I ever had time to look back on all these characters I made when I was in like 7th grade and appreciate them, I’d say I like their friendship dynamic. 

#10: Enemies

If anyone remembers Ethan Akihiro, the character I drew way back from here that looks like... DanTDM? I think? He’s in a world that’s like a combination of TRON and San Fransokyo from Big Hero 6. The next OC that I made after Chloe and her world. This is my favorite sketch out of all of these, it just looks so good Not going to spoil much, but Ryan Nakagawa wasn’t always an enemy...

#11: Casual Setting

I chose the most un-casual world I have, How to Write a Vampire Story (name not final yet), where all the characters live in an old mansion and are really into theatre, history, and literature. Friend groups really be like that though. Didn’t really think of what to do besides them hanging out with sweatshirts and hoodies and drinking hot cocoa so--

#12: Formal Setting

This is Nicole, one of my Romantically Apocalyptic OCs. Because you can’t really have a formal party in the post-apocalypse. Felt like I drew too many people in suits so I decided to switch it up a bit. Unfortunately I don’t look at dresses for reference so I did this off the top of my head.

#13: Timeskip

This one was a bit difficult to choose because I don’t really age up my characters. However, I realized I could choose George Vqzmnx from the late 2019/early 2020 cringe era. He’s now aged up from 8 to 16 and is in Eta Carinae with Finnick Caulomb. Always recycle, folks.

#14: Historical Fantasy/AU

Choosing Apex! He’s a knight instead of his usual superhuman with power armor self. I think he looks alright considering I didn’t use a reference for knight armor. Now he can be buddies with Gawain! (who is a knight and has power armor, makes it a little unfair...)
