#Akila is the oc

[pazzaalcubo]

Extract from my fic.

Akila's room always had that smell and was always really messed up. Not that he could really say much about it. From this point of view, they had a lot in common.

It was not difficult to ignore the shredded papers on the floor, abandoned there by someone who never managed to hit the garbage can with their throws. The desk so submerged in paper that it appears to be made up practically only of four white wooden legs.

Stiles' chocolate gaze shifted, by instinct more, to the bed. The white sheets were piled on the terribly wrinkled ground. Scattered with broken pencil leads and eraser residue.

As expected, she hadn't even heard him enter. She had, as usual, headphones in her ears and was probably listening to either an breaker-earsdrum song, all screams and electric guitar, or one of the most depressing songs ever created on the entire earth's surface.

Seriously, Akila just didn't know half measures. The girl in question was lying on her back on a bare and worn mattress. A pencil held up her curls, wedged in a decidedly inhuman hair and probably very painful to melt. Another pencil, turquoise, like her eyes, was tucked behind her ear, slightly covered by a fleeting lock.

And, of course, she had another pencil in her hand, the one she was using to draw, or rather, not to draw. The instrument was suspended on the sheet and Akila's lips, pink and stained with ink, were pursed in a grimace of total contemplation. Her cheeks and white fingers smeared with charcoal.

Stiles tore the headphones off her head, dragging the black wire that connected them to her cell phone with himself. It was definitely breaker-earsdrum music this time.

Akila turned to him, smiling guilty. She watched him through thick, clear lashes with sleepy cobalt eyes. Since the boy was standing, he towered over her in a not indifferent way.

Some more sketches of my Starfield captain, Ned. He joined the Freestar Rangers, even though he is the last person who should be joining them...

Galikt’k’Akilae, original character of @mouthlesswitch from Aeon strife. I just needed to draw some character of this tribe, but realized there were none in my list of almost 100

crazed individuals line up!

[herosplatling-replica]

finally got another character long overdue for a ref update done..!!! i'm really happy with how it turned out 🥺

[voxel-loves-you]

I Starfield-ified Frankie. Go get your Neon born gunsmith in the basement at the Lodge, tinkering at the weapon workbench. Alternatively she'll be in one of the other Constellation member's rooms, snooping on their computer. And she isn't being sneaky about it either. She's openly making it her business and you will accommodate.

If you start befriending her, she'll kiss your boo-boos better via offering you free meds. She doesn't care if you steal crap or make morally horrid choices as long as you aren't hurting kids. So go make that evil character. The field where her fucks were growing is barren.

always here to ask for more ocposting hehehe you said you'd make a post on Sol's boyfriend ? 🥺👉👈

and if you wanna expand more beyond just chara designs, what's the plot of the story ? the word "prowlers" is so evocative, what do they do in the desert ? what are the fantasy elements, is there magic and/or creatures ? who is the rest of the found family ? is it based on any country, or usa-specific since you said cowboys ? (cut for length bc else i'll be here all day asking questions... but i can come back if you're ok with it ^^)

take very good care <333 love to see your art as always !!!!

i’m always ok with your questions!! i love when people pick my brains about my characters,, knowing people are interested is my ultimate comfort fr :) sorry everybody this is going to be a looong post but we have a lot to cover!! i’m gonna split this into sections for readability 

sol’s boyf,,, junipero,, has his own post in the works trust me you’ll be meeting him very soon! he ALSO happens to be one of my all time fav ocs,, in fact i made him his own playlist just like sol! (linking it here as a little preview of his vibes before u see him!)

I’m a character designer & artist first and foremost BUT i love writing and am trying to branch out so full steam ahead!! pedal to floor it’s LORE TIME (did i write this in docs like a draft before posting it, yes i did, only the best quality ramblings for olorea!!)

what's the plot of the story ?

okay so because i’ve had this oc world since i was a kiddo there are several stories within the world in a set timeline,, and it’d take me a million years to go through it all in one post hhhh,,, i have to say though that creating characters and connecting all the proverbial dots is so so fun. atp every character has their own separate & unique story that i hope to draw and/or write in my own time

as a general rule, though for simplicity i measure the ‘main story’ based on bell & nightingale’s arcs since they’re the ‘main protagonists’. so when you hear me say ‘before the story’ what i really mean is ‘before gale or bell meets x character and ropes them into The Shenanigans’ 

i might revamp my toyhouse acc just so you all can have easy access to my characters and their lore!! 

I’m terrible at self categorisation but i’d say that this whole story is a sort of steampunky/high fantasy with some dystopia & political drama thrown in there, it honestly depends on whose story you’re reading haha 

is it based on any country, or usa-specific since you said cowboys ?

it actually isn’t based on any real country! i completely abandoned real world geography for this story for my own sake,, the world is pretty much split into factions with their own ecosystems! the map of the world is a whole different story,,, i’ll have to remake that soon… but yeah!! 

for the desert region i borrowed the lawlessness of the old west and the visual aesthetics of old westerns!! i take several artistic liberties, though, i make it a tad more whimsical

what are the fantasy elements, is there magic and/or creatures ?

in short yes!! this is a fantasy where a lot of characters have magic abilities of some kind! think of most of the magic-users like sorcerers in dnd! arcane abilities that they’re born with,, either that or they’re creatures of some kind/based on animals or cryptids (see agnis the vampire among others). most magic is,, organic? is that the word? it occurs naturally. most of it… 

the word "prowlers" is so evocative, what do they do in the desert ?

‘prowlers’ is the colloquial term for the outlaws and criminals of the desert!! pretty much any socially nonconforming or unlawful person is given that label whether they actually committed a crime or not,, and most wear it like a badge of honour tbh. upperclass folk tend to look down on prowlers unfortunately and they have the reputation of sinister people-not-to-be-messed-with. calling oneself a prowler both protects you and puts a target on your back. 

who is the rest of the found family ?

the family come from all over! a lot of the members of the corviday gang left their home nations to escape traumas back home and found comfort in an unconventional ‘criminal’ community with no expectations set upon them and no prying questions to be asked. comfort in the outskirts of society, if u will. here’s a list of them all in no particular order!

corvid:

the previous leader who passed away before the story (see? hehe, the story). sol takes on the role of de facto leader afer he’s gone. 

magpie:

corvid’s daughter, a young bard who finds inspiration in the world around her no matter how bleak

eden & polaris:

eden, a jack-of-all-trades author who writes under the pseudonym ‘evergreen’. he is so done with everybody else’s nonsense, and his sibling polaris! a mute ex guard who has a frosty and intense personality. 

quake:

eden & polaris’ kid brother, a young and scrappy aspiring inventor with unmatched wit and problem-solving skills

gaia & opal: 

gaia & her girlfriend opal are ex stage performers who fled stardom to support a friend of theirs who went on the run

aimi:

amelie, aimi for short, is a young ex pirate who deserted her crew for a life in the desert 

cobalt:

a career criminal from a family of miners, he claims to only stick with the gang for a laugh. 

akila: 

an ex training instructor from the capitol city’s military, akila uses her strategist mind to help keep the gang afloat. she keeps her distance, having dealt with loss before and not being eager to repeat the experience. 

wendy:

a motherly former innkeeper, wendy has an admirable knack for business and ability to sway people’s opinions. she could probably carry you bridal style effortlessly. yes, you.

blair:

a free spirited traveling painter with a surprising affinity for weapons. practically a professional pickpocket. 

i kept everybody’s descriptions short n sweet for this post because of the length but if anyone wants to know more about any of these guys please ask me abt it!! i’m happy to expand on any of em. there are other characters who orbit the gang, rival groups and of course some of them still have surviving family members… i’m expanding alllll of my lore :’)))

this post took a minute but i hope it was worth it!! I love these crazys sm i will draw them soon

here's some higher quality versions of the art for anybody who wants to get a good look at them all!!

Introducing Björn Bearson

My Starfield oc, my Space Cowboy.

Born and raised on Akila, he ended up serving the UC Marines to explore the galaxy, finally returning to his home planet after a colorful career. He became a Ranger at 32 to serve and protect his home. He was shining star in the Western world. He was sent to Vectera to protect the Argos Extractors when he found a peculiar artifact buried deep under the moons' surface.

And so his story begins.

I, GrohiikNik, am the sole owner of Björn Bearson.

Can I kiss you? For FlynnAkila!

Can I kiss you?

“Hmm curious... its unsual you ask me myself, my dear Emerald but... how can I refuse.”

He pulled his arm around her waist and drew closer to meet his lips with hers... pressing a little bit of tongue in before withdrawing.

“I hope this was to your satisfaction.

🌹Any ship !

"Aww you're asking me out on a date, Kitten?" Lyss teased Akila "Well, I have to say yes right? After all I'd love to see how you'd dress up for me~"

"A date? Not like an experiment, right Kara?" Her fins moved as she looked at her girlfriend "Oh it'll be just like one of my fairytales!" Lorelei giggled happily.

"Layla." Nasira's voice was stern. "Is this one of your tricks again?" She lightly glared at the genie "It better not be or I will tie you up with these silks." She "threatened" before sighing "Fine, what would you like to do?"

"A date, my muse?" Des smiled softly at Celestia "I'm honored that you'd ask me first. Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I'd accompany you to the ends of the worlds."

"A date?" Catherine blushed "Of course I'd go on a date with you, luv..!" Catherine shouted slightly in a mix of excitement and embarrassment "Just... Don't tease me too much, my heart can't take it..." She blushed more as she thought of the last time.

"How lovely." Catrina smiled as she set the flowerpot she was holding down "We haven't had much time to ourselves between teaching our classes, our students and my children." She giggled "Mozus could watch them..." She mumbled to herself "Is there any place you have in mind, mi vida?"

Felt like doing some drawings of my Starfield spacefarer, Ned since I recently started playing Starfield the other and am having a fun time. I think this is the third videogame RPG I've used Ned, with his hair going from dirty blonde (with a goatee), to green and blue hair, to now fire orange and red.
