Do you think you could drop some lore on your crimecity ocs? I'm literally OBSESSED with your art! (I love Falk's design so much!)
oh my god I would love NOTHINGGGG more than to talk about the crime city cast, thank you so much for loving falk bc I am a biased creator and he is for sure my favorite of them all
THE PLOT
orthrus is the utopian city of the country of atlas, as close to paradise as one can get on earth. but it harbors a dark secret: at sundown, the civilians retreat into their homes and the villains come out to play. every night, this two-faced city is ruled by unlawfuls, members of the criminal underworld.
WINTER (he/him, 25) "The Raven"
the shot caller, the most feared of all the unlawfuls. he works as a florist during the day and moonlights as a debt-collector, someone who blackmails and threatens his victims in exchange for a price, or else offers his aid to those who ask for it in exchange for a favor. he hates rain and doesn't drink. his surname is lost forever.
FALK NACHT (he/him, 29) "The Bloodhound"
a watchmaker by trade. he served as a high-ranking officer in the military but was honorably discharged after sustaining an injury from an altercation with a commanding officer that rendered him almost completely blind. he can now only detect light with what sight he has left, and he has sinced honed his other senses to make up for this loss. with his eerily keen sense of smell, he eventually became a tracker for the underworld. he hates tardiness and thinks dogs are annoying and difficult. as such, he does not appreciate the irony of being nicknamed after them.
BRENDOLINE BARBARA (she/her, 22) "The Madame"
the daughter of the mayor. her mother was killed as part of the corrupt city councilors' intimidation tactics against her father, magna barbara, whom she loathes for his weakness. frustrated with her powerlessness and the facade of her father's position, she becomes a vigilante.
GIOVANNI MERCURO (he/him, 28) "The Ante"
a croupier who runs the snake eyes gambling house and moonlights as an informant and thief. believing it to be the height of carelessness to be complacent and predictable in a city crawling with vermin, he refuses to be consistent: he never wears the same hairstyle twice, never plays the same game twice, and never sleeps with the same person twice.
ASHCROFT GUILLAUME (he/him, 37) "The Peregrine"
a hitman for hire with the air of someone who used to be noble. rarely getting jobs due to his exorbitant prices, when he's out of money and out of work, he plays the saxophone on street corners and in bars for loose change. as far as assassins go, he's about as resourceful as one can get: his saxophone assembles into a sniper rifle.
JACQUELINE SARTRE (she/her, 38) "The Witch"
proprietor of "the witch's brew" pub, and notorious drug lord and toxicologist by night. she may be sweet and slow to anger, but it's best not to test the limits of her legendary temper. money is her greatest motivator. canonically, she is in a common law marriage with ashcroft, whom she saved from the mortal wounds he had sustained many years ago (but for the purposes of the visual novel, she and ashcroft are both single).
HAYWOOD THATCHER (he/him, 43) "The Hunter"
a coffee connoisseur who gets only four hours of sleep a night and likes all his belongings to be arranged at right angles. in the city of orthrus, its mayor and its law enforcement are essentially decorative. as the chief inspector of police, he is worthless once the sun has set. still, he hunts for the ultimate prey: orthrus' most dangerous criminal, and his old friend.
NOBODY (they/them, ?) "The Gunrunner"
the enigmatic blacksmith turned nighttime weapons dealer, a complete mystery whose voice no one has ever heard. apparently, they like cake and cherries.
there are still two unreleased love interests for the game, but I'm working on their designs!!!! also there's a twitter and an official tumblr (but I haven't updated the latter in a while lol). if you want to support the game, I have a ko-fi too!

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."
This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find
Some people get existential dread from this
Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

🌷 A Cry from the Heart of Gaza: A Family Searching for Safety Amidst Destruction and Danger🌷
Greetings to all of you,
I hope you can take a minute to read our story.
🍒I am Mohammed Al-Shawish, and I am trying to save my family—my wife and children—from the war. We are a family of 8: my mother and my siblings.
Islam is 35 years old. Hazem is 27 years old. Samer is 29 years old. Hashim is 31 years old. Nasreen is 37 years old. Nour is 36 years old.
I am married to a tohfa wife, and we have 3 children🍉: Suhail, who is 7 years old; Jwan, who is 4 years old; and Azad, who is 2 years old.🌷

We had a beautiful, clean, spacious house, and my children lived a luxurious, clean life, far from problems and annoying lives, but after the war we lived in forms of poverty and displacement, depriving them of their toys, belongings, and room, which they preferred to stay in rather than other people. Instead of their toys, they invented a medicine box and cut-up paper made up of money and food containers that they used as toys. .
They became adults when they were young and were suddenly deprived of their childhood, and they became responsible like adults, and they help me carry water and the troubles of this life because they feel the fatigue that I make for them. They became aware of our feelings when they were young, so your donation to us and our exit from Gaza may give them back the lives that the occupying army deprived them of.




I used to have a shop with my siblings, which was our family’s source of income💥. During the war, it was destroyed💥, and we lost our source of income😭😢
Days passed, and they were very difficult for my family. My father suffers from very difficult conditions, chronic diseases, and complete paralysis. After the occupation army ordered us to evacuate from north to south, we moved under bombardment and fear since the first week of the war to my sister’s house in Khan Yunis. This had a huge impact on us and my father's health. You know how difficult it is to move a crippled patient, and later, we learned that our house was completely destroyed. My father became so sad that his health condition deteriorated, and he suffered a stroke. Even the medications that the doctor prescribed for him were not available, so my family and I became shocked at my father. He became in danger and anxiety destroyed us all.
Then the Israeli army ordered us to move to Rafah in the far south💔. So we all moved to a tent in the cold weather, and today, after 100 days of war, we live a life that creates for us a feeling of fear, anxiety, discomfort, and safety in a tent made up of only scraps and wood. My father could not bear these movements and the extreme cold, and my father died. We could not bear the news, so we all broke down in tears because we did not She bore the news of his death, and due to the large number in the tent, my wife, children, and I separated. Then I went to her family and did not meet her for 3 months due to the continuous bombing and rain. She is waiting for me with her family in light of their difficult circumstances, hoping that the war will end, but it has continued until now.
I then started looking for a tent to reunite with my wife and children, because I did not have money. We contacted organizations to help provide wood and tarpaulins, and fortunately, one organization helped us. I moved to my tent with my wife and children, separated from my family, and live with my wife and children to this day.


🌸Later, the occupation army ordered us to evacuate again and move from one place to another until we ended up in a tent in Khan Yunis.

After the generosity and kindness of our Lord, my wife and I are waiting for a new baby😍, and now in her sixth month of pregnancy, I ask you to donate so that I can protect her fetus and my children from this fierce war by traveling outside Gaza😥, because due to the frequent movements and worries that still accompany us, the condition of the fetus has reached... Cervix, and due to malnutrition and lack of iron, my wife’s blood has become 8.9😥, and salts are increasing, which makes pregnancy dangerous.


This was not enough😵. She developed allergies all over her body, and there is no treatment to alleviate the severity of the itching, allergies, and pain that she was afflicted with. She was afraid to take even the supplement for fear of increasing the allergies. Even my children suffer from skin diseases and their bodies are ravaged by the allergies.
To ensure her safety, the safety of the child and my children, I want to leave Gaza and go abroad. By donating via the link
Please, I ask for your help to save my wife, family, and children from this war.
With deepest respect and gratitude,
Mohammed & toha
