I love when people claim some of my OCs are overpowered, because while that is 100% true, people never claim that about the characters that actually deserve that claim.

Like claiming Messiah, whose power literally kills him, is overpowered while literally any of the Voidlings (Eldritch Beings and Cosmic Entities) are things that exist in my lore is laughable XD Eleanor, who is not a Voidling, is immortal, and has like limitless power reserves.

But yeah, no, the guy whose ridiculously powerful psychic abilities literally kill him is the "Mary Sue" of the cast. lol. lmao even.

And here it is, Mie's gorgeous dragon form. I'm dead. This picture killed me.

do u got sum facs about dorman???

I love the wording of this ask btw "Do you have facts about your own character?" Shit, bro, I dunno, lemme check in the back lmao

Yeah, I can give you some Dorman facts haha

As previously mentioned Dorman is the forced child of Merlin and Arthur Pendragon. He is born through the meddlings of Um'Qua, Embodiment of Limbo, and is irreparably Altered by Mieliaru, The Anomaly Dragon, breathing her Flares of Power into him as a way to revive him when Um'Qua breaks his neck as an infant after Arthur gets mouthy.

Dorman fucking hates Arthur when he's young, but not because he, technically, got him killed. He just thinks Arthur's an asshole. This only kinda gets better as he gets older lol

When he's young, before his Anomaly Powers awaken, his immense power is chocked up to being because he's Merlin's child, and Mieliaru never disputes that because it worries Merlin will be angry with her if he finds out the extent of what reviving him in the way it did has done.

Arthur and Merlin have three more, fully willing, children later on, making Dorman the oldest of four children, all of which he Alters in some way because he feels suffocatingly lonely being the only of his kind. He sets off a Power Storm while Bryn and Meredith, the second borns, are being born which boosts their power astronomically, and actually fully Alters Nerys, the last born, with a Power Flare, Altering her in a similar, but still different, way to how Dorman is Altered.

After having a child with his wife and the child comes out an Oracle, Dorman decides it's not a good idea for something like him to breed, and chooses to stop having kids. His wife, Unity, has no objections, as their son; Enoch, scares her a little bit.

you mentioned dorman as one of your characters someone might consider a mary sue but what exactly is he i know youve posted about him before

Okay, but this is going to be long because there's a lot of context required to understand exactly what Dorman is lol

Dorman is the first-born son of Arthur Pendragon and Merlin (yes this is canon in the novel lol), so when he was born he was mostly just a normal human child.

Now in my lore, Merlin is a true immortal (meaning, arguably, nothing can kill him and he will survive The Fall of the Universe) and his soul is literally made of magic; he was just born this way and no one knows why. Anomalies are a pretty big theme in these books lol.

Arthur has a Perpetually Pure soul, which just means no actions he takes in life will cause his soul to become tainted, and he, ultimately, has a kind, and caring personality, so he's not likely to willingly do anything that would taint his soul anyway. Arthur was the first Perpetually Pure soul born in Beauty's Universe (the current one).

Now, Dorman wasn't born out of love or anything, although Arthur and Merlin do get together later on in the books and have three more children, but that's a whole different post. The details haven't exactly been worked out, but a small group of the Main Cast do end up getting captured by Um'Qua, a secondary Antagonist and Embodiment of Limbo (basically the Ghost King), who gets his kicks out of torturing people (this is also a common character arch-type in the books, just to varying degrees lol) and is dangerously obsessed with Mieliaru (we'll get to her).

Anyway, long story short, Um'Qua forces Arthur and Merlin to have sex, Merlin becomes pregnant, and Dorman is born, all within Um'Qua's captivity. There comes a point during their captivity where Merlin (or Arthur, it may be Arthur, actually) says something that really pisses Um'Qua off, and he retaliates by snapping infant Dorman's neck.

Overcome with grief, Merlin is at risk of a Magical Fallout (basically popping from emotional duress), so Mieliaru, who is Merlin's 74 billion-year-old Dragon Mount, emerges from where she hides around Merlin's spirit and breathes life back into Dorman, but at a price; Dorman is no longer human.

They don't learn the true extent of what Mie has done (Mie knows, but Mie's English is shaky at best and doesn't know how to explain it) until months later when the children are much older (the magical influence in the group causes the children to age rapidly until around 16 where they slow down. This is explained in the books), when Dorman and Tetsuya get kidnapped by a Trafficker named Malik, who has a Perpetually Tainted soul.

Dorman is sassy, stubborn, and mouthy like his parents, and Malik ends up poisoning him with something called The Dragon's Bane, which is a flower Tebius (main antagonist) created, and it is capable of killing even Voidlings by attacking the soul at it's core. This trauma causes Dorman's Altered Soul to awaken in defence of the Poison, and Dorman becomes more powerful than a Voidling, but basically loses all ability to feel.

Drakaerys (Cosmic Entity of Power and Creator of the First Universe) birthed Mieliaru as it exists by accident. They never meant to create something more powerful than them, let alone something that could create things more powerful than them, but Cosmic Entities oopsing and creating things more powerful than they are is also a common theme. Limitless power means on occasion you accidentally fart out a nuke lol Sakura's (Cosmic Entity of Beauty) nuke was Tebius, Drakaerys' nuke was Mieliaru; the Dragon's Bane and the Altered are the Fallout from those nukes.

So long story short, Dorman is Altered. That's it. He's was just revived wrong. It just so happens that he was revived wrong by the Oldest living non-Voidling creature in existence who happens to be more powerful than the Cosmic Entity of Power. He is literally running on a tiny piece of Mieliaru's Soul.

so which of ur characters do u consider mary sues?

That I consider Mary Sues? None. I don't believe in the concept of "Mary Sues", which is why I put that term in quotations, especially when we're talking about Original fiction.

Now, in fan fiction, I understand the term, understand why it was coined, and understand why it can be useful. I've read My Immortal.

But how a person portrays their own original characters in their own original works is their business. The concept of a "Mary Sue" doesn't even make sense with my Lore, because most of the characters in my books are super Overpowered; they're not human. They're aliens that were specifically designed with Perfection in mind. And that's just the Nukai! But no one is forcing you to like this kind of narrative.

You don't have to like that Dorman could split a planet in half if he wanted to. You don't have to like that Mieliaru is more powerful than the literal embodiment of Power. And you don't have to like that Eleanor has basically achieved Voidling status through sheer force of Pettiness.

But you do have to live with it, because this is my book, this is my lore, these are my characters, and I will write them however I damn well please. And if you don't like that, then you don't have to support my original content. By all means, go support a creator that's more into limiting their characters. I, however, am not that kind of creator.

To write something limited, to me, is to write something boring. And I won't write something I'm not interested in reading.

[coockie8]

who's ur oldest oc????? like canonically not chronologically lmao

I was gonna say lol Chronologically, I don't even remember. I think probably Snow, who I made up on the spot so my older sisters would let me actually play with them, and then she developed and got important haha

Canonically though, are we talking non-Voidling? 'Cause technically it would be Doxx, Pidge, Sakura, and Drakaerys (in that order); the Cosmic Entities, but time doesn't exist in non-reality, nor do they even age when in a reality, so I don't think they really count.

Oldest reality-born character in Cosmic Legends, canonically, would be Mieliaru; Drakaerys' first born, and Merlin's mount. It is 74 billion years old, as she was born close to the start of the first universe.

[coockie8draws]

Here's Mieliaru (may-lee-ah-roo), or just 'Mie' (May) for short, the first-born child of Drakaerys; the Cosmic Entity of Power, creator of Dragons and the First Universe. Mie's Dragon form will be coming as soon as it's finished.

[coockie8draws]

They™.

Here's Drakaerys; Cosmic Entity of Power, creator of the first Universe and Dragons, as well as Mieliaru's parent. I'm extremely happy with how they came out, like you have no idea.Runes are in the thread.

Runes and Transparent version under the cut.
