Pictures with my nWOD OCs, both old and new :D

Starting with Promethean the Created

Sharla, my Frankenstein gorl acting as a loyal knight for my Galatea boi Narkizo. Silly not-yet-people through whom I explore my own existential crisis. I like them :D

And now, Changeling the Lost! Under the cut cause the post is long already.

I have a whole custom freehold (it doesn't work properly cause I messed up lore a lot lol), and I mostly draw local King of Summer, Adlar Dreik, a Draconic Fairest.

He is kinda young for the position of King (he got it when he was seventeen through some sort of revolution, which sounds both much more dramatic and much less draining than it was) and he is not very well liked (except for a few other changelings, one of whom you can see in one of the pictures ;)), so he is struggling.

And this is a "what-if" scenario of Adlar if he was a True Fae and not (technically) a changeling.

And now we have another broken redhead confronted by someone about his lies, and a local Chirurgeon. I'm now thinking they could have been smoking buddies or something, but they would more likely have a passive aggressive "I hate that you are here" type of conversation. Oh well.

Fae-changeling dynamics in different ttrpgs (with my OCs as an example) :D

Thanks for asking!

I'm not sure which three characters you mean, so I'll talk about all of them in brief :D

❗It gets kinda dark❗

Also English is my second language, so I apologise for any mistakes... And messed up punctuation.

So, these two. Winnie (left) and Journey (right). My DnD OCs. They come from a setting where from time to time a powerful goddess of storm arises and wanders the world, changing it drastically. The Storm has already came during these guys childhoods, and now it apparently is starting again, and everyone is anxious, since this shouldn't happen so often.

Anyways, Winnie, my fairy boy, who got kicked out from his home plane, Arcadia, by the previous Storm and to this day hasn't found a way back. He was raised in several orphanages, where he wasn't very well liked, for his fae nature made him pretty free-spirited and emotional, which bewildered other folk, who grew up with "being emotional = being inconvenient = bad" mindset. Usual stuff. So Winnie found a somewhat acceptable way of expressing himself in music. He is a Creation college bard. For now Winnie is travelling with a group of adventurers in search for Storm deity, and maybe he'll ask her to bring him back home. Or maybe he'll figure that this group has become his home and Winnie has no point in leaving... Who knows ;)

Journey is my changeling, who lived in a forest. During the Storm Journey found a girl laying in ravine motionlessly and, out of sheer curiosity about humans, Journey assumed her form. That girl was an heiress to a noble family, so after the Storm ended, a search for her was announced. They've never found the original girl, but they found Journey in her form and assumed that she was actually the one they were searching for — just without some of her memories from some head injury which occurred during the Storm. So Journey grew up as an aristocrat with a very good education, taking special interest in alchemy and becoming an Artificer Alchemist. However, growing up Journey finally understood what had happened that day. She felt immense guilt about stealing the life that didn't belong to her, even if it was no fault of hers. One day she accidentally revealed herself to be a changeling to her adoptive parents and fled in shame... Which is really sad, because her parents really didn't mind. Of course they'll grieve the fate of their biological daughter, but through this years Journey has become their kid. And now Journey has run away :(

Guess this group of adventurers will have to figure themselves out quite a bit...

Next we have my Selkie menace from Changeling: the Dreaming. I'll refer to him by his fae name: Foka. It's actually a name of Greek origin meaning "seal", Slavic people have used it as well (actually, many names Slavic people use nowadays are of Greek origin :D)

Foka was growing up as a completely normal boy in the port city in the northern Russia, until his grandmother gave him her Selkie coat before passing away, thus forcing Foka to undergo Chrysalis as a Selkie. And Foka absolutely hates this. He doesn't want to do anything with the magical insanity changelings have to deal with, he doesn't want to save the world from Banality, he just wants to live in peace. At the same time, Foka knows that there is no going back for him. Something in his soul is now repelled by the idea of going back to his boring, banal life. Besides, what he has now is an inheritance from his grandmother of sorts. And Foka loves her. For now he is still struggling with his changeling life, but deep down he knows he'll come to accept it soon.

Foka was actually based on leopard seal, which I find a perfect mixture of cute and terrifying, so he is kinda a menace. Unseelie Grump in a young body, with little attachments to both his old and new life and yet with vague longing for both of them. He is willing to help fellow changelings when he can, but don't expect him to be nice about it. Don't expect him to be nice about anything, really.

And now, finally, my old picture with human-ish mien of my CtL OC. That neck is killing me... Anyways, this is Cut and he is an Gristlegrinder Ogre.

Despite Ogre's reputation about being tall, muscular and terrifying, Cut is actually pretty slim for an Ogre, because his Keeper (that creepy flesh blob) didn't give Cut enough food. Which led to Cut's unhealthy relationship with food. Cut also has a frailty "must drink alcohol instead of water". Alcohol doesn't make him drunk, he's immune to it, but it is expensive and reminds him of his family in awful ways... So that sucks too :/

Cut is getting through his problems, though. He is really appreciative of what he has already and works for his future to be even better. He is a proud member of Summer Court. He works in different places (currently at McDonald's 😭), saving money to go to the uni and get a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering. He has a small, but close friend group with other changelings. His fetch is in another country (Cut got out from Arcadia not in the place from where he left) and doesn't bother him. So yeah, Cut is getting his life together. My precious dude. Hardworking, slightly edgy (he's a CtL OC, that's kinda the point anyways) and a sort of goofy big brother for local newbie changelings.

So yeah, that's pretty much all the main things about these guys! Thanks again for asking :]

Fae-changeling dynamics in different ttrpgs (with my OCs as an example) :D

I've been sooooooo artblocked lately, it's awful. So I drew my ttrpg OCs from all over the place in fancy (or not) outfits referenced from Pinterest

And then I proceeded to forget to post it. Yay.

Short overview of folk here, from left to right:

- Claude from Wraith: the Oblivion. He led quite a miserable life and ended up in the Legion of Paupers, but not before spending some time as a thrall. He had only recently caught some semblance of a break. Yeah.

- Ruben, son of Aphrodite from Scion: becoming as gods ttrpg. He is pretty grim, despite his looks and heritage, but not without a reason.

- Sharla, my Promethean: the Created girlie. Made by her creator to serve as a protector, she still fulfills her role – just in another group of people.

- Adlar, King of Summer in my Changeling: the Lost freehold. He hasn't actually been to Arcadia, but because he is a son of mortal woman and banished Gentry (so-called Charlatan) (a fact Adlar abhors and hides to the best of his ability) he is still technically a Changeling stuck in this whole changeling business

- Arcuvol, my good drow™ from DnD, because whenever I see some sort of evil faction I have to make a non-evil OC for it. (I'm never showing my Warhammer OCs to the world... Okay, they are still kinda evil when they should be). I was trying to make my own setting with DnD mechanics, but it's kinda dead now, so I don't know what to say.

My pathetic little mew mew aka my Changeling the Lost OC.

He's an Elemental Fireheart.

Also he's a Loyalist. Which means he is out of Arcadia but still serves True Fae. These sad eyes will be the last thing you'll see before he sells you out to Gentry 😌
