Oh wow I drew a character who isn't May

They learn to get along...eventually

Let me know who I should draw next :D

[aifos206]

Swapped them - Farmer May and Miss Clover :D

[aifos206]

What would your ocs think of her?

I'm curious because she's dating May, and Noah is protective of his sisters.

Also you mentioned that Nyx is looking into the bus near the guild building. And despite Yeung passing out, she was fine somehow when she approached it, and was also able to enter it with no issues (according to the main quest)

Noah: Well...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Noah: and about the bus thing... Nyx told me that reactions change depending on the person, but I don't think that makes any real sense... since things like energy and magic are pretty unpredictable... but she's still looking into it, even though she told me it's not one of her biggest priorities...

[aifos206]

How They First Met (Andy and Noah)

premise: (there might be a small spoiler about Fay's affinity quest)

Ok, let's start by saying that they met for the first time a long time before they had their first real conversation, Andy had arrived in Harvest Town to open his bar and Noah was now living in his house away from the eyes of the townspeople, so... two people who lived their lives without really interacting with each other, the only things they knew between them is that Andy was the new bartender who came from the city and the most Andy knew about Noah was that he was the school librarian, but beyond that... nothing more. (also because Noah is very introverted for obvious reasons)

Now... if you've read Noah's backstory you'll know that Noah sees both May and Fay as sisters and, if you've done Fay's "first affinity quest" you'll know that she often went around helping others to the point that sometimes she got sick (among the jobs she helped Andy organize the bar).

and here is where it all begins... (I warn you: I am not a writer and I do not define myself as an aspiring writer, so forgive me if it seems a bit... "sloppy", also I want to remember that my first language is not English, so if there are grammatical errors... I'm sorry😅)

It was Friday afternoon, the children had finished school and Noah was tidying up the books in the library, it's Friday afternoon, this means that tomorrow will be Saturday, so it will mean that it will be a day of rest for the children, but also for Noah, therefore, it will mean that he will be able to stay in his little house in the woods to study some plants, learn some recipes and maybe walk through the woods to relax his mind-

oh no, wait... that's right... he'll have to spend the next three nights translating texts from human to monster language... you know, besides the mysterious cave in the mountain and the mines there's an underground city populated by monsters, more intelligent monsters, but they rightly need books to allow the refugee children to learn since studying in the "old world" was optional, but in that underground village studying is a right and also a duty, but they need books and they need someone who can write books... and think about it, who will be the person who knows both human and monster writing? well yes, it's Noah... and is he paid for it? of course not, but that's another story.

Anyway, Noah was putting away the last books until at one point he hears a voice behind him.

May: Ehy Noah

Noah: Oh, hey May, what's up?

May: Fay got sick...

Noah stops. the information was sudden...

Noah: what?

May: yes... Gary called me and told me he took Fay to Lee because she seemed paler than usual, but nothing serious, just tired.

Noah: ...

Noah didn't know what to say, it's not the first time it's happened, it's not the first time May tried to keep Fay from working too hard, it's not the first time Noah tried to reassure Fay that she was useful to the village, but it never seemed to be enough, she always said that she was fine... and instead it ends with her getting sick.

Noah: So... what should we do?

May: I honestly don't know... despite her condition Fay still says she's fine and will be ready by tomorrow.

Noah: but damn-

May: Noah there are still children!

Noah: ...

May: ... I thought... why don't we do the things Fay normally does tomorrow? So she won't have to worry, I can try to convince her or ask Foxy to convince her to stay calm with the chores and we'll take care of them!

and... all of Noah's plans went to hell-

Noah: Well... yeah... that could work... but... what exactly does Fay do?

May: well... she usually brings vegetables to Pong... she brings breakfast to Steve... gives Gary a hand with the animals-

Noah: Jesus, doesn't Lopez have like a daughter who can cook for him or at least someone who can teach him how to cook? at least two eggs-

May: I swear Noah if you interrupt me again I will throw an encyclopedia at your head like you tried to do to Duke last month-

Noah: I told you already, it was an accident, it slipped off the railing and it didn't even hit him-

May: YOU WERE LITERALLY THERE TAKING AIM!

Noah: Well, HE was getting too close to YOU for MY taste...!

May takes a deep breath trying to control her instincts to throw a Karate chop at his neck, also because... there was Tom who was watching them from afar, but by now he is used to these scenes between the two of them, even for the most absurd reasons and so he goes out without making too much noise.

May: Anyway, I was saying... the problem is that the children have done some pretty important tests and it will take me almost a morning to correct them, plus... someone will still have to keep an eye on Fay while she's sick...

Noah: Let me guess... I'll have to do the "heaviest" work because you decided to give third degree equations to children of maximum 7 years old and you don't feel like going back and forth like an idiot...

May: Exactly.

Noah: ...well that seems fair to me.

May: so... tomorrow I'll think about giving the vegetables to Pong and then I'll go and correct the tests, while you go and help Gary with the animals... I think Steve will be able to get by with food since Lulu will also be resting...

Noah: I don't know much about farm animals, but I think I can get by, I'll go to Gary and let him know.

May: ah, Noah wait

Noah: hm?

May: maybe Andy will need a hand with the bar tomorrow, maybe ask if he needs a hand

Noah: ... who?

May: Are you serious? The bartender, Duke works there, remember?

Noah: oh yeah... the guy who sees the girls and ladies dancing at the square every morning? pretty creepy...

May: Nah, Andy's a cool guy, I've talked to him a couple of times, I think you might like him, in fact... maybe you should make some friends here, I hardly ever see you talking to anyone...

Noah: don't worry *meanwhile he's going down the stairs* I have friends

May: The half-unicorn with the possible criminal record doesn't count.

Noah: ...

May: See you tomorrow.

Noah: See you tomorrow...

the morning after:

Noah: well... all that's missing is Andy and I should be done... maybe before I go home I'll stop by Fay's to see how she is... and maybe give her something for the fever...

Noah was coming back from helping Gary with the animals, was it complicated? Not really, probably because he didn't give him the jobs he usually would have given to Fay, did this bother him? Well... enough, he never really related with anyone in the village, except for special cases, but... despite living there for at least 12 years he still felt like the "black sheep", even if technically he would have been more of a "wendigo in sheep's clothing".

Anyway, it didn't take long for Noah to arrive in front of the bar door, he knocked, no answer, May had told him that Andy and Duke lived here... maybe they didn't hear him, maybe their rooms are on another floor, who knows Noah has never been there, he knocks a little louder

Noah: uh... is anyone there?

*in his head* obviously if I speak as if I were talking to someone 2 cm away from me surely no one will hear me, but... it's 8.00 in the morning and it's Saturday, maybe someone is still sleeping...

Noah, stand still for a moment in silence...

Noah: Ugh, I'm going to sound like an idiot...

*took a breath*

Hey! Is anyone there?! Do you guys need help at the bar?! Is anyone there?!

?: huh? uhm, oh hello there!

Noah hears a voice, but he doesn't understand where it comes from

Andy: Up here!

Noah raises his head and as soon as he does he feels that he has lost what little color he had left, he takes a few steps back to make sure it is not just a strange decoration and instead...

Andy: Hey boy..! Do you need anything? The weather is so nice today isn't it?

Noah: uh...

Noah is slightly stunned to see a man on the roof and especially near the edge.

Noah: uhm... yeah? The weather isn't bad...

Andy: So... what did you come here to do?

Noah: o-oh right, well you see, my sister would normally come to here to help you organize the bar, but today she's sick and so I thought maybe I...

Noah stops for a second in saying the sentence when he notices something near the bartender, a bottle of wine, which Andy takes and drinks his whole, this man... is he drunk...? and it's only 8:00 in the morning?!

Noah: uh... are... you okay...?

Andy: Me? yeah sure, why? ... Oh, are you worried about that? *raises the bottle* don't worry, I only drank two sips...! Look, don't worry... now wait while I come down and-

Noah: -!

in those seconds in Noah's head there is total chaos, a second ago the bartender was trying to get up, then he slips and now he's falling...

he's falling...

OH MY GOD HE'S FALLING FROM THE ROOF-!

...

...

...

...

Noah: ... are you... okay... sir...?

Andy was squeezing his eyes shut ready for the impact and the future pain of the probable broken bones from the fall and the panic around him and instead... he doesn't feel anything, he felt gravity pulling him down, but he didn't feel any impact, he opens his eyes and realizes he's not even touching the ground.

Noah: Sir, are you feeling okay?

(the background is obviously not mine and sorry for the arms)

the silence has become deafening. Andy looks around, looks at the ground, looks at himself, looks at Noah and then... laughs

Noah: ...?

Andy: oh God, this could have really ended badly! Thanks for the catch boy, you have great reflexes!

Noah: uh... thanks?

OK, if Noah's brain was in a tailspin before, now it's completely disintegrated...! He's trying to process what happened, he fails OK- let's try to process again... he arrives and finds the village bartender on the roof, obviously not 100% sober, he falls, Noah catches him, Andy laughs, Noah is confused...

Well, gentlemen, a normal Saturday morning apparently...

Noah is so confused that Andy himself brings him back to planet earth by patting him lightly on the shoulder

Andy: ehy...

Noah: y-yes?

Andy: I ​​think you can put me down now

Noah remains silent, looks into space, looks at it and then... screams inside and the worst thing... it seems that Andy has noticed his "panic"

Noah: o-oh, yeah, right sorry

Noah puts him down as "gently" as possible and the first thing he notices is how Andy at that moment was shaking from the adrenaline

Noah: uhm... I don't want to seem too... nosy, but... maybe it wasn't a good idea to sit on the roof and drink...

Andy: yeah... but anyway, back to us... did you come here for...?

Noah: oh yeah, Fay is sick, so I thought I'd replace her since I heard that she often helped you prepare the bar...

Andy: oh but, I'm sorry... but I'm glad you came to help her...! You're her brother, right? Noah: Actually yes...

Andy: oh, I'm sorry for her, I hope she gets better.

Noah: yeah... I hope so too

Andy: wait... you're her brother? The librarian, right?

Noah: um... yeah, actually I am

Andy: oh well, Fay told me about you when she came to help me...!

Noah: oh, okay...

another awkward silence

...

Noah: so... what does Fay usually do?

Andy: let's see... she usually helps me carry some crates... she cleans a bit here and there... nothing too complicated, oh, don't worry about the crates, I don't make her carry too heavy stuff

Noah: okay...

Andy: then when we finish we usually talk and sometimes I give her some samples from the bar, just to get some feedback Noah: okay

...

...

...

Andy with a friendly smile: you're not the type to talk a lot, huh?

Noah: a-ah, no... I don't think so...

Andy: don't worry, I don't want to force anything... *comes closer, opening the door of the bar*

Andy: do you want to go in and see what the inside looks like? I don't think you've ever been in my bar

Noah: ah, actually no...

Andy nods inviting him in: well, there's always a first time, right?

Noah: ... right...

Noah takes a few steps inside the bar and sees how the environment gives a certain... calm, something he didn't expect, meanwhile he heard Andy's voice calling him and meanwhile he took a box

Andy smiling: anyway... I haven't asked your name yet...

Noah: o-oh right... mine is Noah...

Andy: well, it's a pleasure to meet you Noah Noah: ... thanks, the pleasure is mine... yours would be...?

Andy: Andy, anyway you can call me informally, there's no need for all these formalities

Noah: oh... O-ok

Maybe May was right... it doesn't look so bad, except maybe for the roof.

Ok, this is how they met, I hope you liked it and if you want to know more just ask your questions, bye

[aifos206]

Is there anything that Andy does that annoys Noah? And anything Noah does that Andy doesn't like?

(maybe I'll edit by adding an image)

Andy to Noah:

It's funny, because all the things that would normally bother Noah with Andy would be fine (example: even just out of curiosity, Noah won't let anyone touch his horns, tail, or ears, not even to May or Fay, who are technically his sisters, but if Andy asks... for some reason Noah lets him, except maybe his tail, he'll let him touch it once and be like: "ok, you know how it is now please never again" spoiler, if Andy asked him Noah would let him do it, again...)

in short, Andy is the only person Noah lets him do whatever he wants without complaining.

*edit* (obviously things that do not harm him or anyone else)

Noah to Andy:

The fact that Noah almost never says what bothers him or if he doesn't like something (this is because Noah doesn't like to seem rude)

example:

Do you remember the beach party on the seventh day of the month?

Do you remember that at that event you will find Andy cooking on the grill?

Here, you should know that Noah doesn't eat meat (he doesn't like the taste of meat at all, ironic since Wendigos are technically carnivores and then there's another reason that I had put in an instagram post about curiosities)

I've always imagined this scene where Andy, seeing Noah, happily offers him a skewer and wants to know what he thinks... and Noah swallows it against his will because he didn't want to be rude in rejecting the offer and pretended that he liked it and then Andy, thinking that he liked it, gave him more and Noah ate them all.

Now... imagine Andy's face a week later when Fay, while helping him set up the bar before opening, mentions that the taste of meat makes Noah nauseous.

Andy would be like:

"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T HE TELL ME HE DIDN'T EAT MEAT-?!"

[aifos206]

Since tomorrow is Mother's Day I decided to show you what Noah's parents look like

Celeste

and Ettore/Hector (the main cause of Noah's traumas)

did i swear a lot drawing them? yes, also because i had drawn them in the past and...

yeah... they were pretty... "flat" (also because I wanted Noah to look a lot like his father to give him lots of "nice crises")

[aifos206]

4- if you had to put this OC into an existing world, which one would it be? (Any of them is fine for this one)

actually... i never thought about this thing, but if i have to... i think i would put Hermes (yet another ht Oc) in Undertale since it's full of unique characters and some extravagant ones and then i think a boss fight with him would be pretty cool (considering the fighting style of the game)

[aifos206]

@alice-the-potato

2- what is the most difficult thing about drawing/writing this OC? (For Noah and Nyx)

for Noah: I've drawn him so many times now that I don't have too many difficulties drawing him anymore, maybe the only thing is that sometimes when I draw his face he looks like a kid and other times he actually looks like an adult (I think it's because I normally make his eyes big)

for Nyx: to draw her... pretty much everything (her hair and her clothes) but like with Noah, I've been drawing her quite often lately so I'm getting used to it. As for writing it... it's quite complicated to write (literally with these characters I could make my own story instead of setting them in an existing game, but I enjoy it)

5- what is important in a relationship (platonic or romantic) for this OC? (For Noah and Nyx)

for Noah: mainly that the person know he's not really "human" and that they don't get too disturbed by that, he understands that being half Wendigo might be disturbing to some, but he lived in Harvest Town for 12 years without causing any problems and then it also goes for his sanity (it's not very healthy psychologically to spend too much time "disguised" as a human)

for Nyx: I think she should know that person very well, but that wouldn't be enough for her to open up (given her experience with someone who saw her as a sister) so it should be loyalty, but she's seen little of it in her recent times with monsters and she doesn't like humans either (she doesn't hate them, if she met one she would be neutral towards them, if they were children... "her maternal instinct would hit her like a train" and she would definitely be "softer" with them) , so... she's not really relationship (romantic/platonic) material, she doesn't seek them and she's not interested. perhaps the only cases that are saved are Noah (she first met him when she was 12 and then they met again when Noah was 14), "Hermes" (he is Noah's friend, so... yes) and perhaps Foxy (she has known her for a long time and then she "trusted" her enough to entrust Noah to her)

10- does your oc have a best friend? (For Noah)

if it's a monster, Hermes, it seems strange, they are complete opposites: Noah is "calm" while Hermes is a bomb of energy, Noah is awkward and Hermes is very open and confident, Noah likes quiet places and Hermes likes "lively" places etc... Hermes often tends to pull Noah out of his "comfort zone" which, sometimes can end up with Noah pulling Hermes out of some bullshit, while other times Noah manages to "melt down" so yeah, as a dynamic I kinda like it

but if we talk about humans... technically Andy (he literally discovered that Noah is not human by chance, maybe I'll talk about it) but after a while Noah started to develop feelings for him, so he doesn't just see him as a friend.

14- what makes your oc cry? (For Nyx)

She hasn't cried in many years, perhaps the last time was after she witnessed the death of a little boy who was desperately looking for his mother and Nyx disguised herself as his mother and assisted him in his last moments of life.

She hasn't shed a tear since, not when her student betrayed her or when the villagers she created underground chased her away.

"Hello :D I was wondering what Noah thinks of Yeung, since Fay likes him"

"but I think he's better than Fisher (I don't like that guy...)"

[aifos206]

Oc × Canon / Oc x Oc

show how one sees the other

(stuff probably already done by someone, but whatever)

(can be done as normal expressions or with a specific expression)

(is there a specific way to say: "hey, try doing that too"?) idk

example:

(here I use a oc x canon)

How is andy with this expression (Harvest Town character):

How Noah (oc) Sees him:

How is Noah like (this is his expression 90% of the time)

(I will use this drawing for another post):

How Andy Sees him:

[aifos206]

I should write better the dynamics between the two of them

[aifos206]

I still have to find a way to draw him, but for now here it is

[aifos206]

Oh well, they have a new friend now (I'm not very good at drawing animals, so here's a crooked goat)

[aifos206]

She is not very expressive, but she has her ways of making herself understood.

[aifos206]

Thanks it was fun, I hope we can do it again 😃

Oh, hey Clover, I heard you're going on a date with May, uhm... *Noah gives you a bouquet of sunflowers* maybe she'll like them, I don't know- I've never asked her what kind of flowers she likes, bye, have a good date and treat my sister well- *turns around and bumps into a pole*

*turns around, trips on a rock and falls to the ground. The flowers are fine somehow, but the same cannot be said about her face*

[aifos206]

Noah: "I think I understand..."
