I made a character sheet to plot your OC's development over time! (There's supposed to be a character name in the big white space next to "over time" but it got eaten a little lmao)

You can use this for whatever you want, and you don't have to credit me. Feel free to change or edit anything you feel like. Please don't tag me if you credit me - just link to the original post.

Credits, explanations & a transparent version under the cut :D

Credits:

The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.

Fonts used were Bisdak (titles) and Rockwell (body). Both are free! You can use them to fill it out if you like.

Inspired by a comment @maybe-solar-powered-calculator made on this other post about filling it out for characters at multiple points along their arcs. Thanks for putting the idea in my head :D

This is explicitly released under a CC0 1.0 deed, ie: you can do fucking whatever you want with it and I don't care and you don't have to tell anyone where you got it from and no one gets to stop you.

Last time I made one of these I got a bunch of questions on all manner of things, and I can never keep up, so I'm just appending a set of notes for how to use it and a glossary because I know some of these phrasings will be confusing.

Ignore or change anything you don't feel like works for you here. You can do whatever you want forever.

Suggested / intended use & general notes:

This sheet could work for something story-level, if you want. But it's really only good for individual arcs; if the character goes through multiple arcs in your story, then they're going to fit poorly here. In that case, you're probably better off doing versions for each arc, or just adapting this to a different format more suited to your thing.

Also, if your arc has a nontraditional structure - divorced from the typical "rising action - climax - conclusion" type of structure where there's a clear 'important turning point' - it may not work as well either.

The mindset section is meant to come at it from a 'golden mean' standpoint - that is, everything on either extreme of the slider is 'too much' and therefore bad. It's not bad-to-good! The far right side is a flaw too. They're only grouped the way they are on basis of the specific OCs I personally had in mind when I put it together.

Growth is labeled 'worse'-to-'better' but it means, like, active decrease in that area vs active increase; if nothing changes, it should stay at the center even if it sucks. The category is about contrasting changes, and sometimes changes are for the worse!

The entire sheet is very deliberately subjective. It should really be answered from the character's perspective - how they feel about it, not what's necessarily true. Technically you can do whatever you want and I can't stop you, but it's a better tool if you approach it from the point of view that the character may believe things that aren't true - that will define their behavior way more than the objective facts of the story.

Definitions:

This part is long as hell - recommend using ctrl+f to find the specific words you're stuck on. I defined everything.

General categories:

Mindset: how your character thinks about themself and how they act. Their understanding of their own approach to life. Attitude, viewpoint, decision-making process, that sort of thing.

Circumstances: the relationship between your character and the world around them. Where they are, what that place is like, and how they feel about it.

Growth: how the character and their impact - their attitude, their behavior, their immediate surroundings - changes over time.

Outset: the start of the character's arc.

Present: the 'center' of the arc. If you're planning something ahead of time and it hasn't 'happened' yet, then this is the near future.

End-game: where they are after the conclusion of the arc.

Mindset terms:

Center of the world: "If I have a problem, it's the only thing that matters to me." Self-centered, self-absorbed. Doesn't necessarily mean anything beyond that - they don't necessarily have to be unpleasant to be entirely focused on their own life.

my life isn't relevant: "Everyone else's problems are so significant, I don't pay any attention to my own". Someone who ignores or neglects their own life in service of some other thing, or doesn't consider their own behavior to have any real importance.

Only see enemies: Paranoid. Everyone's out to get them. Anyone who seems nonthreatening is hiding their potential for danger and everyone who seems threatening is a threat. The character must remain ever-vigilant, lest the cashier at the 7/11 suddenly stab them, or their best friend turn out to secretly be trying to poison them to death.

Only see friends: Naïve. Everyone is a good actor who wishes everyone else well, and if they don't seem like they're acting from a place of kindness or care then you probably don't understand what they're up to. The character is pretty sure the stranger holding that knife is, like, someone to chat up maybe, they're clearly only hanging out in this dark alleyway because it's a nice spot and no other possible reason.

overthink everything: Ten thousand thoughts per every single action taken. Maybe they never get around to acting at all. They have to consider every possible outcome. What if by eating lunch they accidentally trigger the apocalypse?! Who's going to think about these things if not them?!?!?!

impulsive to action: Act first, think never. What do you mean "consequences of actions"?

Unilateral decisions: "I will make every choice and no one else's opinions or thoughts are relevant". Discounts outside suggestions. Firmly convinced that they know best in any situation, and will brook no disagreement with their views when it comes to actually doing things.

Command me, please: "I don't know what to do and I don't know what to even start with, someone please tell me what to think". No confidence in their own views. Will not make any decisions unless forced and even then will beg someone else to please tell them what to do. Has no idea what's best and is pretty sure anyone else will have a better idea.

can't ask for help: No one will ever help the character; they have to do everything themself, even the things other people have repeatedly offered to do for them and have much more experience with. Doesn't necessarily mean that no one will help them or that they are explicitly barred by some real-world circumstance; just that, for whatever reason, they refuse to ask for help. This is an attitude thing - will they ever reach out? No? Then they're here.

too reliant on others: Have they ever solved a problem alone? Do they believe they're even capable of doing so? The character all the way at this end of the scale absolutely never expects to be able to do anything themself, has no trust in their ability to solve a problem, and needs someone else to come save them from it. The kind of person who needs ChatGPT to do their homework. Again - doesn't actually mean anyone will help them, or that the people they're relying on are reliable - just that they think they are helpless without ... well, help.

Weapon maker: This has to do with problem-solving strategies and not actual weapons. The weapon-maker is a character who views every situation as a conflict that cannot be de-escalated or solved by cooperation, and responds appropriately. The most fundamental weapon maker character turns everything into an argument, a fight, a war, etc. There are a bunch of other responses to conflict, though - they might avoid problems that need solving because they avoid conflict generally too. Fundamentally what you want to answer here is: when they see a locked box and they don't have the key, do they respond to it the same way they'd respond to someone telling them "you can't open this box"? And how do they respond to that? Typical weapon-maker approaches: - brute-force the box open or try and then give up if it doesn't work; and also get into an argument that might turn physical with the hypothetical person - shrug and give up immediately, in both situations so on and so forth. Another hallmark is that they kind of suck at problem-solving and give up if brute-forcing a problem doesn't work. This is not someone who is picking locks unless someone else told them to - they have one solution, it's to make everything into a conflict, and then to win that conflict by beating them or to give up because they think they'll lose.

Tool maker: This person approaches every situation like it's a puzzle, not a fight - up to and including actual fights. Tool-maker characters generally assume that a situation can be solved by just finding the right approach and doing it the clever way. There's the same fundamental question as above - if your character sees a locked box and has no key, would they approach it differently than someone telling them they're not allowed to open the box? 'Typical' tool-maker approaches: - I can trick the person into giving me the key by saying the right things, and I can also pick the lock because fundamentally there are 'right answers' to both of these - If i make friends with this person, they might change their mind, because now we're cooperating. I can still pick the lock because there are 'right answers' there. - The person has a reason for wanting me not to open the box, so I can definitely figure out what that is and solve the reason so then they'll let me open it. I can take whatever it is even if they really want to keep it if I just find the right answer. I'm going to break this box into little pieces because that's the easiest way to get into it but I could probably open it some other way if that wouldn't work.

A note - the center of this bar is someone who generally has different responses to different kinds of situations - like, in the box example, they'd approach the box and the person with two different general attitudes and processes - but generally responds to those situations using the same kind of decision-making process for each category every time. Most people are nowhere near either extreme. Characters tend to be classifiable into weapon-maker and tool-maker because they are fictional and it's easier to define one kind of approach than many. Approximately average approaches: - pick the lock if no one's around, but give up if someone is there because someone telling me not to open the box is a conflict i think i'll lose but a locked box is just a puzzle that i can solve - argue with the person, but give up on the box, because they're approaching the box as a puzzle and they don't think they have the skill to get into it, but the person is someone who can be convinced or bullied into handing over the key

I made this particular dichotomy up, which is why I think I get a lot of questions on it whenever I put it into anything, but I also don't know of any other snappy way to describe this sort of thought or approach variance, and it's genuinely useful for character writing in my opinion.

Pessimist spot-finder: Generally a downer but not necessarily. This kind of character just approaches everything with a close eye for problems, issues, reasons to find fault. If they're miserable, it might be why, but like, they can be a cheerful spot-finder if you want, I just wanted to get at "the glass is half empty" and "the glass is half full" more than anything.

Optimist upside fan: The opposite. "The glass is half full". If there are problems, they can find something about them that's not so frustrating or bad to focus on. Pretty damn good at overlooking minor issues if there's no reason to fixate on them. Not necessarily cheerful.

Abysmal company: could not give less of a damn about treating people the way they 'should' be treated. Maybe they take pride in that. Maybe they just think it's irrelevant. Either way, they know they treat people badly and they don't see any reason to stop. Does not necessarily mean that they treat people badly if they think they're doing the right thing and are wrong. Doesn't mean they're actually pleasant or unpleasant to hang out with, either, unless you really want it to mean that.

Decent to others: treats people well as a matter of course, or at least they sure think they do. Makes an effort. Would probably care and/or consider changing their behavior if someone said they were treating someone poorly. As before - they can be completely un-self-aware and just think they're doing right by people while treating them completely horribly.

Morality is irrelevant: 'abysmal company' for broader approaches to life and problems. Maybe they just know they're myopic and don't think other people's problems matter. Maybe they just gave up on trying to differentiate between 'good' and 'bad' and outsourced it to someone else or stopped paying any attention. Maybe they just like to take morally unjust actions and can't be bothered giving a damn when someone points out that they're morally unjust, or maybe they're proud of it. Kind of a villain trait generally, but not necessarily - it doesn't have to mean they act badly, just that they don't care if they do. Also, this is about how they choose their own actions and view their own behavior. They can think morality is relevant for other people as long as they ignore it when they act themself.

Always in the right: feels morally righteous in every decision they make. Standard superhero type of trait. Doesn't necessarily pass judgement on others, doesn't necessarily act well according to everyone's moral code (see: blue and orange morality), but they are extremely principled and will never deviate from the moral code they personally believe in. And they do genuinely believe in it.

Circumstances terms:

Generally terrible to generally excellent: how subjectively decent is your character's situation, overall? If they think everything is horrible, but the situation is charmed to everyone except them, then it's generally terrible.

Need for changes to passive tolerance: will they do something about it? Do they feel like they have to?

No agency in action to decisions are huge: agency being "how much power do I have to make changes here?", this just asks how much they have. No agency means that, no matter what they do, nothing will happen - they might be locked in a cage or somehow otherwise completely unable to use any sort of power at all, even the power of just leaving. The other end of the spectrum is where every decision the character makes makes a huge difference, not just to themself but to everyone around them as well. They can start wars, they can have anyone they want killed, they can do anything whenever they feel like it. If they think they have no agency even though they do actually have agency, they don't have agency here. If they feel like they have all the agency in the world and can do anything, then they do even if it's not true. It's perceptual again.

Stakes are deadly to mistakes solvable: what are the consequences of failure? Will you die, will you lose status you can't afford to lose, will you lose belongings, will you have to apologize, will nothing happen at all? Mistakes solvable is where they think every mistake is solvable forever - the character pushes someone through a woodchipper and they come out and to fix it, maybe an apology has to occur, but not much else. Does not necessarily mean no one gets hurt or killed as long as the character thinks there are no permanent consequences. This is the most important one on this section to keep subjective because it will greatly influence how your character approaches situations. A character who thinks everything is deadly-stakes may go to cartoonishly-extreme lengths to avoid turning a report in a day late. A character who thinks all mistakes are always solvable may push someone through a woodchipper and then just assume they can say they're sorry and it'll all go away. The setting and their approach do not need to be applicable.

Needs go unmet to attended with care: how do the people around them treat them? Do they pay attention when the character needs something, or do they ignore it? Does the character have to do everything themself around here, or are there people who will help out?

Regarded poorly to regarded well: how do they think other people see them? Are they respected, are they liked, or are they disliked? Do people broadly trust them or are they pretty sure everyone regards them with suspicion?

Nothing changes to changes in seconds: functionally the 'stability' meter of your setting - is the situation generally stable, or are things constantly changing? Does your character feel like every five minutes, there's a new problem that needs dealing with, or do they feel like nothing has ever happened ever?

Growth terms:

Changes in place: do they go somewhere else? Does the physical setting otherwise change (eg; earthquake, war, etc) ? Are there any other reasons that the 'vibe' or 'experience' of the place is different from before?

Change in power: does the character's percieved agency (see: no agency in action to decisions are huge) change? Alternately you can use it if they've gained or lost power in some percieved way (deposed, assigned a commanding position, etc).

Change in bonds: do their relationships with people change? Have they made new friends, lost old friends, changed the nature of their relationships with friends or partners, etc?

Change in beliefs: straightforwardly, have their beliefs, morals, etc, changed?

Change in hurts: have they undergone some horrible experience? Do they have past trauma from some pre-arc horrible experience they're healing from and/or discovering they're more powerfully subject to? Did they experience a physical injury that they're recovering from or which materially changed their life? Did something recent dredge up old issues? So on and so forth.

Change in hopes: Do their desires for the future look the way they used to? Do they care about different things now? This is something the character is not actively working for, but may be tied to actual goals.

Change in fears: are they overcoming fears? Growing past them? Gaining new ones? Are they scared of shit different from how they used to be?

Change in goals: Not the same as a hope because it needs to have a specific, achievable outcome the character is actively working toward. Do those material goals look different? Perhaps they no longer want to work against something, maybe they didn't have any goals and now they do. Or maybe they've realized the goal is impossible, or something has happened to make that goal unachieveable. Whatever it is, if there's a change, it's a change.

Change in self-awareness: their beliefs about who they are and what they're like, and what their circumstances are. Have they gotten more self-aware, have they gotten less self-aware, or has nothing changed?

Change in relationships: their relationships' overall health and resilience, as far as the character is concerned - which doesn't mean they're necessarily good, just that the character thinks they're how they're supposed to be. Have they improved? Have they gotten worse? Have they not changed?

Change in knowledge: do they feel like they know more about the world, their place in it, the people around them, etc? Not necessarily how to do things - just general information and awareness.

Change in social standing: how does others' regard for the character change over this part of their arc? Do people like them more or less? Are they respected more or less than before? Has nothing changed? And so on.

Change in skills and abilities: do they feel more skilled than they were before? Do they feel like they know how to do as many things as before? Again - not necessarily rooted in reality - a classic example of a character being wrong about this is a 'big fish in a small pond' character who used to be the high school sports star going to college on a sports scholarship and discovering they're not the best any more, and suddenly feeling like they're the worst - when they're better than they've ever been in an objective light. Use a subjective viewpoint for this.

Change in agency in life: how does the character's percieved agency change? Do their decisions matter less now than ever? Do their actions make way more happen than before? (See: no agency in action vs decisions are huge)

Change in outlook: Here's the upper/downer part. Are they more or less hopeful for the future? Do they think things are more terrible now? Are things improving as far as they're concerned? Or has that not changed?

Change in goal progress: how do they feel like they're progressing on the goals they've set for themself? Are they getting further and further away? Are they getting closer?

rare times of mon posting something else other than dw/fruitcake ... 🫶

some of the doodles included in here are a liiiiittle outdated, so you'll notice a bit of style shift here n' there :9

overbun is my silly little objectsona (i also included his humanized designs... right is the outdated one and the other is the attempted redesign, i might get around to it someday)! and the other objects you're seeing are my friends :D

(also i really love 2, x and clock i think they're super duper endearing and i should REALLY draw them more)

#sticky notes 📝#osc art #object show art #osc ocs #i have NO idea what tags to use for this LOL ... so i'll keep it short and few

powerful mental image of lucanis expounding passionately about any given one of his limited but extremely deep areas of interest (the wyvern/knives/coffee/cooking/murder continuum of lucanis dellamorte special interests if you will) while rye lounges around and Beholds him with palpable twink boutta pounce energy

#having lucanis really go off about something no matter what it is is a rare and precious gift for rye specifically. free aphrodisiac #honestly rye's version of that might initially be subtle enough that only davrin would notice it (and suffer accordingly) lol #'could you guys do that while I'm not here.

🥀ミ’Call on Dolly’彡🥀

~’she’s the one New Orlean’s recommends-!’~

Dolly, my darling beloved girl. My favorite accidents are the ones that keep coming back. I made this oc when I was 15, and reconnecting with here after all this years means everything to me. I’m not sure the world could quite process how dear she is to me. I realize I have her newest updated ref and all this art laying around of her though, so I figured why not throw it here. I’m not sure I’m comfortable sharing her and her story anywhere other than tumblr and discord tbh, so you all should feel very honored 🙄/j

I realize I should make an art tag though..I didn’t know that was an important thing..I still don’t understand much about tumblr tbh, but hey! Better late than never.. so I suppose my new and first art tag will just be- #Lilidraws and the story art tag and probably the content tag in general will be- #TheCurseofYouandI

So hey- if you’re into dark thriller historical romances?? Maybe stick around 🥺 take a look. In which case say hello to the mc <3

Starting now I’ll probably start sharing more risqué type art as well. Not my outright nsfw hardcore stuff, but just tasteful fluff and artistic nudity- regardless all posts such as this will be properly blocked under the ‘continue’ line and I will always give a heads up on the post type. I keep telling myself to be more active posting on one of my socials, but I keep trying to post on all of them, sO- I’ll try to stick with tumblr again <3

(Lovingly rattling these two around)

okay so I saw that one ask and now I’m curious. I dunno which blog to send this but here goes;

what’s your general inspiration for the Geiers? I gather the Flammenwerfer is kinda a theme of cleaning, as vultures do? Then the mask is mostly for fire/smoke protection reasons to begin with (dunno why they’re built in) and the bioresonance blocker is cause they deal with corrupted units and therefore areas with lots of biores risk. But then there’s the digitrade legs and other influences? What Mede the goobs into these goobs specifically?

HELLO SO IM BACK WOW FINALLY ANSWERING THIS. Big apologies for the late answer once again but i mustered up enough strength to answer this finally.

SO! GEIER YAP!

Alright it's not the besttt art to showcase the Geier anatomy but I tried (i am not an engineer im just a silly lesbian). But! Haza! Behold finaly a small cross section of what the in-built mask looks like . What I had in mind when first making Geiers was to make them bit more robotic like, slightly pulled away from gestalts since the anti-bioresonance module already dampens them . So limiting their face physicaly is another reminder of them being further from humanity. Just a tool. But they don't mind much dhdhfh they just kinda can't open their jaws fully as a human could or do big facial expressions.

In between the metal casings theres a high quality filtering mesh material (smth along those lines again i am not an engineer) that allows them to breathe through smoke and fire. The front part of the mask that is detachable , over mouth and nose actualy kinda just. Disables them ? They don't breathe through nose or mouth during those missions, the filtering vents take priority. I made them built in because it just seems like a natural step AEON would take I think when making new replikas , since I made Geiers pretty recent additions. It's just easier to produce and safer for them , no way to really yank the mask off . Funnily enough this does make the upkeeo of Geiers kinda uncanny , they have to kinda. Unhinge their jaws ferally to get to the filters to reolace them but most choose to just clean them regurarly.

For the legs I sketched this lil thing to showcase how I think the bi-pedal design would benefit a bit more than just regular stilts STARS or STORCHes have. Geiers have to dredge through insane amounts of muck and otherwordly flesh , corruption seeping through facilities or frontlines even. It's just faster to walk over those things with good agile legs that can pounce and move swiftly , kick into legs like that and the recovery of balance is a lot easier than just normal legs right ? Alsooo helps with their balance in general because they are forced to be a bit hunched over with those legs. Which balances perfectly the heavy tanks on their back. So it's a win win kinda.

For the inspo part u asked about I admitedly dont have. An insane amount to talk about , Geiers genuienly kinda just always have been in my head. But what i will fully admit what influenced me over years was probably the incredible portrayel of the Tallboys in Dishonored 1. They show up bit later in the game but they incredibly showcase the disgust and gap the guards and in general higher ups put between them and the infected poor. They literaly walk over the infected people , shooting from distance , towering imposibly it's fucking genius design. Soo here u go lil Geiers u get the dystopian legs too fjfjfj and as a bonus!

I kinda wanted to differentiate the legs too because of how vultures in general also have weird ass legs. Not even in the shape but the fact they on purpose bleach them (with feces shush) so that they dont have bits of corroded flesh stuck to them and get infected accidently. And very smallest inspo in general was Farentheit 451 with its potrayel of fire as "cleansing" the books , a nice twist on the usual firefighters which Geiers sorta are. Corruption firefighters.

As a closening note I find it interesting everyone thinks of the Flammenwerfer when looking at my Geiers, or any other kind of flamethrower replikas people make and i kinda. Don't suprisingly? My Geiers are cleaners. They're specialists for bioresonance fuck ups specificly. And that includes bioresonant units too , they may not take on a Falke one on one but 5 Geiers jumping a Falke that refuses to be decommisioned? Now that's a fight. But it's a rare sight so far , they excel in cleansing the horrors beyond comprehension and corpses.

I am not a gun nut admitedly , that's more your specialty Jay fhfhfjn but I kinda like it cause it differentiates my blorbos from other Geiers. War is big part of Signalises lore. But I can't ever stop thinking about what Arianes corruption caused in real global life. Terrifying thoughts.

#signalis #my art #signalis oc #geier #geier signalis #signalis fanart #i finalyyyy got this ask fully answered im so sorry again for the long wait jay life is BLEH #and ill get to u atlas too i have many thoughts on it its fucking awesome idea what u got i just wanna do it justice #but yeah geiers are funky and im weird for not thinking of soldiers immidietly in trenches and frontlines #but i just can never let go of the eldritch aspect if the bioresonance infections #wanna interact with it more #but yeee here yap hooe it is suitable :]#oh also tagging dishonored ig i did use some of its stuff #dishonored #tallboy #vultures

by the time kamen rider geats finished syndication in 2023, i remember feeling so many things. it was my first season of rider that i watched in real time, so i got to experience the highs and the lows of not knowing what comes next and i got to react to what was happening with hundreds of other people at the time. i didn't really live blog my experience, but by the end i had the motivation to do something i hadn't done in years-- i wanted to make an oc as a response to the series, and that oc ended up becoming cordelia león.

this post by all means is not meant to be a total master post of thoughts that i have with my sweet girl. but i wanted to make it to get a few important ideas across that may or may not be found in the oc google doc that i am working on for her. and to get this out the way too-- i found myself in various stages of grief and frustration while making cori because i really wanted her to mean something to those willing to listen. i wanted her to leave an impression that would speak to those who may have had similar experiences consuming geats, or perhaps kamen rider as a whole. sometimes the peak of these frustrations grew as recently as gavv's syndication, with the jellyfish character and other similar motifs of acceptance and unconditional love. this will definitely be a moment for me to be like i(we) did it first, and not only hold myself up but the people around me who have been nothing but supportive throughout my creative process.

to put things plainly, i did not think geats was a flawless season. as much as i loved it, there were too many things that i felt like were incomplete, rushed, or could have been resolved or explored more carefully. this was especially so with kurama neon, who i believe ended up suffering a lot due to how bloated geats was and was not allowed the proper screen time to explore the depths of her nuanced situations (eg. the abuse and manipulation she had with her parents, and identity issues). cori was made to a foil first and foremost, and eventually as i developed her wanted cori to have chemistry and impact with the rest of the crew.

this will be a "short" documentation of what i can to introduce people to cori and eventually the whole way i decided to reimagine geats.

for starters, cori is a mixed girl from hawai'i who had a normal upbringing on a small island, up until her mother got diagnosed with cancer. this change in her life caused her to act up, as she no longer had the comfort of her small island, and surfing to help her through this change and loss. from there she was uprooted a few more times, and eventually lost her father too to health issues he was too afraid to speak of. living with her extended family on her father's side exposed her to abuse and neglect because of how her existence was viewed as unnatural and the like; she was a threat to maintaining the lineage and traditions. i will spare the details, but it was enough to push her to run away and pursue a career of marine biology in japan.

from there she meets ukiyo ace (prior to the events of geats) and forms a friendship with him that eventually turns into an affection. ace was the first person to make her feel wanted and accepted in a long time, and given that this was before his celebrity wish, did not have the pressures of the DGP or his Star of the Stars of the Stars status to bog her down. eventually i wanted there to be consequences to ace's wishes, as a response to the fact i didn't like how easily things fell into place for ace. and soon enough, cori would become a player for the DGP, as most people who encounter ace end up being dragged into that world.

exposing her to that world began to warp the idea, and the love she had for him. she wasn't sure what truth to believe, especially if he was living a double life. and then when his wish is made, she is further isolated from him. did anything she do with him matter? how significant was she truly? and more importantly, did she matter to him at all?

she already had to deal with the conception of being stupid (or a "bimbo”), and undeserving of the few opportunities she had by the people in power (professors, managers, some DGP staff) around her. that, and her original home was a small island with a population of less than 7,000 persons. she knew everyone, everyone knew her, and the law of the land was to help everyone you could out, because everyone was family. compare that to japan, where the fast pace of it all doesn't guarantee she will be meeting the same people she runs into every day. her presence in people's lives has no meaning, despite her best attempts to be seen by people whom she wants to connect to.

these ideas are then reinforced by her own sponsor, who was made to be a satire of "toxic shippers" within fandom. cori was picked for the dgp season to be an accessory to ace, and thereby removed of her autonomy despite being a very skillful, if not masterful tactician. none of her feats are truly recognized unless they end up making ace look cooler.

cori, already battling depression and the like, is also battling the concept of her reality when her memories are constantly being changed or erased due to the nature of the DGP. alas, this also ends up influencing the relationships she builds with others, more particularly neon, as the stresses of the world unconventionally and unintentionally inform the way people react with cori. neon for instance, assumes throughout all the times she vents or spends time with cori, that she could never truly understand her pain and pursuit of love and happiness. she also assumes that cori would judge her for the things she has done to try and achieve it. i really wanted them to be foils, because they ultimately have pretty similar wishes.

and given that her love revolves around ukiyo ace, it's messy, it's very very messy. LOL.

it isn't until the the jamato takeover that chirami decides to call cori back for a redemption / chance to have her wish granted. he does this in attempts to boost their ratings and keep control of the situation despite that being very much not the case. much like neon, keiwa and michinaga, cori gets a chance to confront her sponsor, who has been meaning to punish or get back at cori for consistently embarrassing her throughout her performances in the dgp. it's ultimately a rigged game, cori's determined thinking allows her to defeat her sponsor, but at the cost of her life. this was a match that was televised, so everyone understood the poor hand of cards cori was dealt not just in the match, but consistently in her dgp career.

her relationship with michinaga and keiwa are more up in the air because i had less problems with their writing than i did with others. i will say michinaga has been rather cruel to cori in her attempts to connect to him though, but ultimately cori's attempt to help dgp players survive their DGP season mirrors michinaga's attempts to "save" riders by liberating them from being players-- to cease the role of kamen riders to begin with.

keiwa and cori relate to each other because they both end up feeling as tools of the DGP. in reality, everyone recruited to play a role in the DGP is a tool, but the lengths in which they were used to be entertainment are deeply impactful, and i hope that cori's death is one to help haunt the narrative and the characters.

throughout cori's life she has consistently felt like an outsider, and she wasn't just looking for love, but acceptance from the people around her. she wants to connect with people, which is something i make a point to write within her relationships and dynamics with the geats cast. unfortunately, that is not something so easily given to her, and cori dies knowing that she had no place in the world.

those who know me also know that i love to explore social problems from our world, within fiction. so in addition to those narrative problems in geats, here are some other things i wanted to explore with cori.

being a foreigner in japan / xenophobia : i would argue that this is less in your face than i think it is, mostly because this point bleeds into the following point

stereotypes and fighting majority perceptions of yourself : cori's hot, i don't know how else to put it other than bluntly. LOL. but this overview is what informs people's (both fictional and real) initial perception and impression of her, which often works against her. that and, if anything the beauty standards in Japan are wildly different. because of that, people do not allow themselves to see cori for the empathetic and intelligent girl that she is, feeding into this cycle of isolation that she experiences throughout geats.

jellyfish theme : i decided to give cori a jellyfish theme for a few reasons. for one, it is an aquatic animal, making it stand out among the land dwelling animals chosen for other characters in geats. thematically, it further shows how different and isolated she is. when in captivity, they require very specific conditions and care to survive. secondly, jellyfish can be argued to be barely registered or recognized as "alive". i also wanted to tie her in with a little mermaid theme, not just for her desperate need to be part of a world or people's she knows she cannot belong to, but to put emphasis on the love she feels for ace (i want to be clear as well, that it is up to the audience to decide if this love is one sided or not).

a performer made to fight : cori was not built for fighting, and this shows in her fighting style that is rhythmic and dance like in nature. that, and she dances and performs with animals at her day job in the aquarium. she loves the art of life, and too wants to be accepted the way art is in the world around her. and of course, she is better meant to strategize the situations she is in, rather than fighting her way through brute force like others within the DGP. in contrast, ace is a fighter made to perform.

and those are just some of the basic ideas that i have for her !! i encourage any criticisms or commentary, so feel to leave them here or in my inbox. thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read this nonsense, and thank you to everyone who was willing to support me here.

stay tuned for the in depth document that i have in the works for her, that will detail her backstory and other stuff within her place in the narrative (including how i aim to shift roles that characters like tsumuri had, etc).

#i have no idea what to tag this as #well. it is what it is...#i drew the art used in the header by the way!!!!#kamen rider geats #original character #kamen rider oc #geats oc #oc; cordelia.#for my oomfs who asked [sob emoji]#kamen rider geats oc #my art.
