Zorlon, Creed, and Elysian!

Ah, a three for one deal!

I’ll go ahead and start with Elysia since she’s one of my minor and thus more obscure OC’s, one that I intend on using again in the future.

Full Name: Elysia Opal Crane

Gender: Cis Female

Sexuality: Not sure yet, possibly bisexual.

Pronouns: She/Her

Ethnicity/species: Dwarf, Irish American

Birthplace: I wanna say a place rather similar to Drake, though haven’t nailed it down just yet.

Birthdate: October 1st (15 years old)

Guilty Pleasures: Rom-Coms

Phobias: Arachnophobia

What They Would Be Famous For: Coming from a family of steampunks, she is a great inventor in her own right. Wanting to be in the spot light, she would likely try to invent something so awe inspiring that her story would be told for generations.

What They Would Get Arrested For: If she ever got desperate enough for fame(which I wouldn’t doubt would happen), she would steal some pretty hardcore tech or get a hold of some illegal tech.

OC You Ship Them With: Non applicable for now

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: I don’t really have any OC’s that would know her that well, though let’s just say a certain reformed golem gets that idea...

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Science Fiction for sure.

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliches: The stubborn leader/father who won’t listen.

Talent and/or Powers: As mentioned earlier, she is a great inventor, and has invented some pretty “out there” inventions over the years. As such, she’s very savvy on various tools and machines, particularly those most would have trouble with.

Why Someone Might Love Them: Those of like minds would like Elysia for her intellect, which pretty high to say the least, likely enough to get her out of high school early. As such, she’s actually quite poplar among snobby inventors in her own core group. Deep deep down, however, she somewhat has a low opinion on herself, mostly for when it comes to her family’s inventions. To be frank, her parents are very egotistical and usually don’t give her inventions much thought, which is what drives her to seek fame and create such gadgets. This reveals a softer side that she doesn’t show publicly, in truth all she wants is to feel appreciated.

Why Someone Might Hate Them: Wanting to be all high and mighty among her peers, it’s actually quite easy for others to hate her, as she’s very condescending and and cold, often saying the most hurtful things to those she considers beneath her. Above that, she’s very underhanded and will finds creative ways to sabatoge her competition, which so far had been Em, the only dwarf so far who had ever posed any real threat to her status. Talking of which, Elysia’s also very prone to jealousy, especially among other such inventors like Em, who have invented quite a few impressive items as well.

How They Change: This is where we get into slight spoiler territory....

She won’t change a WHOLE lot, but after a series of unfortunate events, she softens up a bit and develops a bit more respect for Em over time, as she opens up to Em why she is what she is.

Why You Love Them: Needless to say, she’s not someone I’d get along with in real life. That said, I enjoy smart bully characters who attack verbally rather than physically, which in many respects is almost worse than physical bullying as they can mentally mess someone up. I also like her eventual slight change of heart. I emphasize slight as people like her don’t truly change, though it’s nice that she heads in the right direction.

_____

Full Name:

Former name: Hectillius Fang

Current name: Creed Slitherwick

Gender: Cis Male

Sexuality: Aromantic Asexual

Pronouns: He/Him

Species: Anthropomorphic Viper

Birthplace: Oron

Birthdate: November 20th (Age 35)

Guilty Pleasures: Newspaper comics

Phobias: No specific phobia, but he is paranoid of anyone finding out his true status as a crimelord.

What They Would Be Famous For: Here we have two sides of the same coin. On the surface, he’s already famous as Drake City’s leading philanthropist/entrepreneur. People idolize him and young kids wish one day to be him. On the other hand, in the eyes of the Undercity he’s the most infamous crimelord. Most criminals idolize him for allowing criminals free range in the Undercity, as well as Drake City depending on areas where authorities are more scarce. Those who are innocent in the Undercity despise and fear him due to his greedy nature, taking from the innocent any chance he can get and will dispose of anyone in his way.

What They Would Get Arrested For: Would you like the short list, or the loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong list? Honestly, he’d likely face a death penalty for stealing the petrified King and Queen alone.

OC You Ship Them With: Being an Aro-Ace, he’s not likely to get shipped anytime soon. Ha, admittedly I thought of a funny bit where Serena Snakecharmer develops a light crush on him since he complimented her hair, though that won’t be canon.

OC Most Likley To Muder Them: There is no shortage of people who would love to drive a knife through Creed’s heart. Spoiler Alert: Someone Actually Succeeds

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Mystery, horror, crime dramas

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: When people split up and get picked off during horror movies.

Talent and/or Powers: His mastermind-level intellect alone is the most dangerous trait he has, as he comes up with elaborate yet clever schemes to evade the local authorities, the royal guard, and, especially the Mysticons. Though he’d rather not get into a physical confrontation if he can help it, he’s very well versed in melee combat, as well as marksmanship with canes that have venom projectiles. He can also morph into a seemingly normal viper and evade or sneak up on his opponents, or simply to escape. Being a viper, he also has a deadly venomous bite that would end just about anyone, and will gladly do so if he feels the need rises. Perhaps his most notable talent, however, is his knowledge in criminology and business, thus learning how to use charisma to his advantage and turning every weakness into a strength.

Why Someone Might Love or Hate Them: I decided to combine these two together since, again, it’s two sides of the same coin. People would love him simply for his seemingly humanitarian life style. The naíve citizen would simply idolize him for his efforts to bring a better tomorrow for his fellow citizens.

Of course, this is all just a facade, as those who know Creed very well realize that he’s one of the most dispicable individuals out there. By name and definition, he’s a monster, having very little to no sorrow for any of the immoral deeds he commits, whether it’s stealing from those naìve enough to donate to his “fundraisers”, killing off street rats merely for getting in his way, tricking the poor unfortunate people into his debt, and perhaps his biggest crime to date, kidnapping the petrified King and Queen.

How They Change: In a way, Creed already has changed for the worst. In his youth, he simply wanted to belong into society, but was often singled out due to his father’s criminal status, to say nothing that he was a venomous species. After taking up the criminal lifestyle and becoming a prodigy, his father set him up and he ended up in prison. Since that day, Creed has learned that being as ruthless as possible was the only way to claw his way to the top.

In this day in age, he won’t ever change his ways. He’s become a negative flat character arc, rather than changing much himself, he influences/manipulates change around him for the worst.

Why You Love Them: Creed pretty much is everything I love in a villain; intelligent, sneaky, scheming, and lovably heartless (weird contradiction I know). It’s also worth noting that he didn’t start off as a monster, he was made into one, and that all comes from his upbringing and his environment.

———

Full Name: Zorlon Icestone

Gender: Cis Male

Sexuality: Straight

Species: Wizard? I’m not all too clear if that’s considered a race separate from humans or not.

Ethnicity: Caucasian American

Birthplace: An old mage temple on the outskirts of Gemina.

Birthdate: January 24th (he looks to be in his late 30’s to early 40’s, but is actually about 600 years old.)

Guilty Pleasures: Reading Harry Potter-Esque books

Phobias: Thanatophobia, more specifically he’s afraid of losing those close to him the same way he lost his wife and daughter.

What They Would Be Famous For: Being an Astromancer, thus a protector of the realm, he would easily be recognized as one of the best members in the astromancer academy.

What They Would Get Arrested For: Though he wouldn’t actively try to break the law in any shape or form, he likely would have been arrested for treason to the astromancer council if circumstances had gone differently in “Gems of The Past”

OC You Ship Them With: While I dont have another OC to ship Zorlon with, I have a confession to make. So my closest tumblr friends know I don’t actively ship characters, right? Well, I thought once or twice about shipping him with Queen Truefin, mostly for laughs but I also thought some chemistry could come out of it. I doubt it will be canon in my stories though.

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: The only OC I have right now that would have intentions to murder Zorlon is Creed. However, that likely won’t happen, as both will rarely, if ever, meet.

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: History, though being 600 years old he would be very nitpicky about “historical accuracy”. He also likes the occasional adventure book/movie.

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Love Triangles

Talent and/or Powers: He is one of the most powerful astromancers in the realm, surpassing Nova Terron within 2 years. As such, he’s able to tap into extremely powerful magic. He’s also very well versed with melee combat with his magic staff, as years have granted him much battle experience, enabling to take down various foes. His advanced age also made him smart as a whip for anticipating his opponents attacks. Beyond that, he’s a very good teacher and is great at inspiring his students to push forward and keep on trying their hardest. Perhaps his greatest strength is his expansive knowledge and wisdom, which pretty much stands to reason given his advanced age and all that he’s seen in the world as a result.

Why Someone Might Love Them: Despite being a fierce warrior by necessity, Zorlon is a gentle soul who wants nothing more than to help those whom he can give guidance to. As such, he’s more fatherly toward his students and allows them to train at their own pace, his philosophy being that students should be allowed to grow as into their role as magic users.

Why Someone Might Hate Them: There are times when Zorlon can be strict when it comes to training, which can be off putting to some of the more brash and impulsive students assigned to him. Aside from that, most of the astromancers, Nova included, don’t get along well with him due to his ideals and his tendencies go against their wishes which tend to be sketchy at best.

How They Change: Again, in many respects, Zorlon has already changed. In his early youth, he was a rebellious teen adventurer, getting into all sorts of danger. As the years went by, he matured and became a loving husband and doting father. Upon losing his family, he entered a state of depression that seemed endless, to the point where one day he contemplated suicide, but ultimately he thought better of it. Once he met Malvaron and Tazma, he viewed it as a chance to start over, allowing him to grow more self assured yet more no nonsense as a result of his loss.

In this day in age, Zorlon is not likely to change his ways. Like Creed, he is a flat character arc, only in this case he influences positive change rather than changing much himself over the course of the series.

Why You Love Them: To this day, I consider Zorlon to be my best OC, for he’s the one I’ve dedicated the most time to developing than any other I’ve created in the past. Even if I’m tooting my own horn, what’s not to love? He’s kind, fatherly, wise, attentive, and will guide you every step of the way if you feel lost.

Phew, that kept me busy, but it was well worth my time. Thank you so much for the asks!

Title

So I want to give a quick update on the state of the updated Quarian Civilian model I’ve been slowly working on over the last few months. I’ve had a few heavy weeks at work that have taken precedent, and I’m only now getting back into a normal routine, but it is coming along steadily.

Right now, I’m still adding the hood flexes. I would say I’m somewhere between a third and a half of the way done with them. My process for doing them has sped up quite a bit lately, so it shouldn’t take too much longer.

Anyway, here’s one of the issues I’m running into: Adding a shapekey to flex the hood on one side is easy enough. The issue is getting a mirrored shape key on the other side. For example:

Here we see the fifth left hood flex. Now, in blender, the easiest way to mirror a shapekey is to duplicate the current shape key (”new shape from mix”) and then hit mirror shapekey. However, this feature is programmed to have zero tolerance. If the corresponding vertex is even a millionth of a blender-unit off, it will say the key failed to mirror. This poses an issue as, although the model appears to be symmetric, it isn’t (by very slight amounts that would otherwise be imperceptible). About 20% of the vertexes are symmetric as well, so if I just moved the model, those would then be off. I can’t mirror those 20% and then do the rest manual as, when the mirror is applied, any failed vertexes are left behind, so I would have more work, reversing the flexes on the old side and then applying the same flex on the new.

Right now, my process has been that, once I’ve got the main key done, move vertexes manually by putting the old and new blender-unit coordinates into a spreadsheet, and then the coordinates of the new vertexes as well, and it will automatically give me the new coordinates I need.

I then just copy the calculated coordinates into blender and the vertexes move. I do this by vertex pair (if you look at the model, the hood has an outside and an inside. Outside vertex and corresponding inside vertex make a pair). Generally, about 50 vertexes are moved per shape key, so this means I only have to do this 25 times per mirrored key. I’ve gotten the process down, so it doesn’t really take me too long (relatively speaking) to get a key mirrored.

I plan on doing about 6 keys per side that pull the hood back (each at different heights along the edge of the hood), at least three that pull it forward, and 3 that pull them out horizontally, a total of 18. So far, I’ve done five of the pull-backs, both sides, so a total of 10.

Main point is that, animating the hood being pulled back should look more realistic as you can flex the edges of the hood instead of having the hood move like plastic - something that even my new hood animation bones doesn’t solve.

As for what’s next:

1. Tiddie bones. Merely just to be able to give some more realistic move to them. Not meant to be sexual at all - just to make them act more like breasts rather than metal cups. Less like robo-tits and more like hey there’s actually flesh under there ffs. For what I want to do, any modifications here would be extremely slight. Almost imperceptible. But hey, I always tend to add things to my work that are generally pointless and imperceptible, so why stop now?

2. Mask armor bodygroup. I’m gonna export that tali armor mask she uses for her From Ashes skin and put it on as a bodygroup. Additionally, I’m gonna try and modify the mask and create different versions. I’ve seen quite a number of amazing Quarian OC concepts with various different mask armor types, and I want to be able to add more options like that.

3. Play around with the mask shape. I want to see if I can make it so the entire mask can detach. This is not likely to be successful as there simply is no face geometry back there below the upper lip. But, I should be able to play around with different shapes for the mask itself, much like with the mask armor. Again, this is based on numerous concepts I’ve seen that I am in love with. I wish I could do something like this with my own OCs, but being limited to the models makes this more difficult. Hopefully, I can add some nice variety to the model here.

4. Textures. The normal civilian has something like 5 textures to it. I will redo these in 4k, because anything less would be for the fucking casuals. I’ve already redone a number of civilian textures in 4k, so I have the process down already. However, with the new helmet geometry and the mask armor, I will also have to modify those textures to fit the color schemes of the civvies. Now, those will just be the regular textures that will go along with the model on release. I will be creating separate textures specifically for my OCs that are slightly (or totally) different - depending on how much I redesign them. A first pass of Eris and Vera are already done. Related, but I already have skingroups for different mask shaders (each one has their benefits and disadvantages regarding AO, letting visual geometry pass through, and lighting). I may remove one once I play around with them so more to confirm which one I like better.

5. SFM eyes. I briefly tried earlier and it didn’t work, but I’ll try to add them again. I may have to remake the eyeball geometry from scratch. SFM eyes require half-spheres to work, and the current model has eye geometry that is a little more than half a sphere. I intend on using the eye shader settings that Lord Aardvark used in the Bodymorph Tali model.

6. Face Flexes. Stuff like eyebrows, eyelids, upper cheeks and stuff like that. Hopefully, it will be symmetrical enough to mirror shapekeys this time.

And I think that will be it. Compile as civilian, then compile separately as private OC model with different texture links. Then just throw it up on SFMlab or the workshop and be done with it. Workshop may not work to well due to size limits. 4k textures are mean to harddrives.

With that done, I will be able to finish final attributes for Eris, like what I want her face model to be, modifying the bodymorph tali model to work as a nekkid model for her, working out the scale proportions and textures needed to make her at different ages (her suit changes colors), and then document everything for making her so I don’t forget where I keep her textures, or what scale proportions to use for her.

With the model done, doing all that for Vera will be easy.

Then on to the Geth trooper (needs headflaps), Male Quarian (hoodless), and porting the Turian Cabal model, since the few pieces of artwork I’ve seen of her in Source Engine are by those who are unable or unwilling to share a source. Maybe see if I can snag a Vetra model too for the higher polygons.

Along the way, a few other models will be ported as well. I know I need that damn Adas ASR model so Kael can compensate himself with big guns.

Anyway, yeah. Stuff. Writing it all out helps me see what needs to be done and to focus on what’s next.

BIOGRAPHY

“The Doctor” is the main alias used by a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey who travelled through time and space with various companions in his obsolete and “borrowed” Type 40 TARDIS. He was once considered the universe’s “greatest defender”, having saved the cosmos thousands of times throughout his [extremely] long life, becoming some sort of “urban legend” across the whole universes and realities.

this version of the Doctor is DIFFERENT from the canon. during his 10th regeneration, we had a glimpse of the time lord Victorious. he remained hidden in the Doctor's mind for many years but he, eventually, took over the Doctor's body, taking the name of Valeyard.

Although he had saved untold numbers of lifes on his travels, he was thought to have caused the deaths of hundreds of billions during his time as THE VALEYARD [the darker side of the Doctor’s nature]. For his actions, he was banished from the universes, being trapped in a reality bubble for over 900 years in isolation. In his insane state, his mental collapse caused him burn his last lives and regenerate for the last time. His regeneration caused the reality bubble to move and explode, setting the Valeyard free once again.

A trickster and full of malice, he did the unthinkable: he returned to Gallifrey and stole the cycle of regenerations of the Inquisitor, another timelord who thought he was his friend, causing the man's death and at the same time, allowing himself to live on more 12 lives,using up the available regenerations.

His affinity for Earth and the human race grew again halfway this new cycle, in which he started a redemption mission with the ones he harmed. nowadays The Doctor travels by himself, visiting his past companions under the name of Joan Smith and almost never revealing his true self. He barely interfers with the course of time and the things that happen, claiming to be RETIRED.…not that anyone - even himself - believes.

VERSES

as most characters found here, THE DOCTOR is multiverse & multiship; crossovers & ocs are more than welcomed !!

CANON VERSES

( VERSE 1 ) ---------- nothing beyond my reach. ; after taking over the Doctor’s body, the Time Lord Victorious transitions into the Valeyard and begins his reign of terror across the universes.

( VERSE 2 ) ---------- the blundering imbecile returns ; threads that take place during the time The Doctor returns to his true self && takes the control. however, they still struggle.

( VERSE 3 ) ---------- let the past stay where it belongs ; my default verse. the doctor is old && tired, he decides to retire and settles down on earth, planning on living his last regeneration in peace....but some things are easier said than done.

AU VERSES

( VERSE 4 ) ---------- let the past die ; star wars au! any threads that take place in the star wars universe.

( VERSE 5 ) ---------- tickling a sleepy dragon ; threads that take place in the HP verse. The Doctor poses as a Alchemy professor.

( VERSE 6 ) ---------- you win or you die ; threads that take place in the asoiaf universe.

EXTRA INFORMATIONS

as i write them, i’ll dump here some infos \ hcs that are important to know before approaching.

Even though he is strong believer in non-violent resolutions,The Doctor is considered a great warrior and a very skilled strategist.

back when i first drafted this version of the Doctor, there was no signs of a woman playing the Doctor && the idea came from a gifset by the LOVELY adorbreyposen.

the Doctor is non binary && personally prefers he\him pronouns and they\them. even though he is not all that used to this new body, he does not have a problem with using a female alias.

WARNINGS !

this character has violent & sadistic verses (as the valeyard). their views \ actions are not the same as the mun. do expect death && general adult themes to be mentioned \ played here. as usual, everything will be tagged accordingly so you can blacklist. i would like to note that, although my fc is a female/non binary person, the doctor remains a man; he just happened to regenerate in this female presenting body, but that does not make him a woman (i’ve always been against the idea of body=gender). i will simply delete anon hate.

CREDIT

this character belongs to the doctor who universe and i claim no ownership or affiliation with the character and the faceclaims here listed above. however, i do claim ownership of my personal headcanons written here as well my interpretation of the character. all rights go the actual owners

*DOCTOR icon credit: some were made by me ; psd by kingsleigh ( same psd used for all characters in this blog )
