#WAAAGH A METAMORPHOSIS ASK

[oros-ash3s]

7) If your OC is in the modern day, what fantasy class would they be? Would they be a different race?

9) How does your OC handle their physical health? Do they take care of themselves?

11) What was your inspiration for your OC?

For Atlas, Ryuji and Odesa?

hey Hunter!! tysm for the ask (๑>؂•̀๑)

ATLAS ࣪ ִֶָ☾.

I already answered the first one HERE, but I think Atlas would be a human and either a ranger or a fighter class. So technically he would be a different race, as he’s a Magicus in canon!! Maybe if he really needed to be he’d be a half-elf…. I could kind of see him being one..

How Atlas handles his physical health honestly depends on which arc in the story he’s in. Despite being homeless from the second arc all the way to the fifth, he does his best to stay relatively healthy throughout their frequent journeys. (Even if he does stink a little.) But Atlas at the same time, has little regard for himself when he is injured. He’ll hide injuries and push himself, as well as refusing medical care, which can cause problems on their own.

In the latter arcs Atlas goes through a ton of shit that leads him down to some not-so-great coping mechanisms (drugs, plainly) and his physical health deteriorates pretty badly. It’s not until he’s well in his twenties where he’s really taking care of himself properly — which means getting first aid care when he’s hurt or sick.

I didn’t really have a super big inspiration for Atlas I don’t think. When I was creating him Felix was my primary oc, and he as a character is someone who’s loud and reactive and expressive. With Atlas, I wanted to create a character who’s the opposite of that. Calm, composed, and stony-cold.

RYUJI ����𓆸

Ryuji, obviously, would be a necromancer, considering he currently is one in canon. I could also see him being a half-elf in a true fantasy story. He just gives some of those vibes to me.

Ryuji does not take care of himself whatsoever. Because Metamorphosis deals with mental health as a primary theme throughout the story (the Immortai are in a sense supposed to represent the effects of grief, generational trauma and mental illness on a person with a magic twist), Ryuji is severely depressed. It reflects on how he behaves and how he views himself, eating, sleeping, and showering very little, especially when his curse grows worse. When Yara first sees him she quite literally wonders if he’s homeless or on drugs — partially due to the fact he’s talking to himself — but still, a big part of it is his disheveled appearance.

I made Ryuji back in 2021 originally, and I remember originally he was based off of wisteria flowers. He had purple hair and eyes, and also a lot of snake motifs throughout his design. Obviously that ended up changing a lot throughout the years, and he doesn’t look at all like his original design anymore.

ODESA ౨ৎ

Odesa would be a fighter class in a high-fantasy setting, and a human. And perhaps she’d be a human gifted with prophetic visions…..

Odesa takes care of herself moreso than Ryuji does. Fashion and her physical appearance is very important to her, something that gives her a sense of control and calm in their unstable, violent lives. She always does her make-up before departing on missions, as it gives her some sense of normalcy in their fucked up world. When Yara first meets her, she notes that Odesa looks very beautiful and put-together, her outfits being very flashy and “something [Yara] could never pull off with such confidence and grace”.

Odesa was originally from a whole different story with an ex-friend of mine, so when I added her to the revamp of Metamorphosis, I completely reworked her character. When I was first making her I was just scrolling Pinterest for design inspo, when I came across a girl with those y2k spiky space buns and angel bite piercings. Those two things have been a staple of her design since.
