OC Introduction: Quoth

Art drawn by Teh-Ray  

He gets no bitches and its actually pretty funny.

Design

Quoth's design was based off a friend's OC!

Art drawn by Zenon, Character belongs to Arrk (Person)

Arrk (OC) was an important character that starred in a fanfic story I had written for friends, which featured characters of mine experiencing very important, and eventually canon, character development.

Course, I can't use Arrk for my own personal storytelling. The fanfic story was fanfic and Arrk was transplanted far from his own world and stories. He couldn't have even been present at the events that unfolded.

But the character development that my characters experienced was so important that it couldn't simply be discarded.

The answer? Have someone take Arrk's place in the narrative! Unique enough in design to stand on their own but at least close enough to where they can play his role without a massive alteration to the story that was told. And that's how Quoth was born.

Also he lapses into speaking French sometimes. And he is officially a cross between a crow and a cockatrice.

Crowcatrice.

Abilities / Traits

Sharpshooter

Mordecai (Lackadaisy)

He was born with great eyesight; his deadly accuracy was a byproduct.

Quoth's aim with bullet and laser weapons is scarily precise. This precision somewhat translates to things with travel time, such as arrows fired from crossbows.

"If only we lived in a world where such skills weren't necessary. On the bright side, I can play a mean game of darts!" - Quoth

Medusa's Blessing

Quoth's stone eye has the ability to petrify anything from people to objects in its gaze. His control over said ability makes him a very powerful opponent.

He can choose whether or not to encase something in stone or convert it to stone entirely, the former being efficient enough to slow something down and the latter having fatal capabilities. This ability can only be used on things within Quoth's line of sight; he cannot affect what he can see through camera feeds and the like. Reflective surfaces and what he can see through a scope (magnifying glasses) are fair game, however.

Objects can be petrified without resistance. Living, organic beings must meet his eye for it to take effect. If that being is someone that opens themselves to his influence (allies that trust him), they no longer need to meet his eye for the effect to apply. This grants Quoth the ability to apply a rock-like armor to allies that they can dispel at any time.

This ability is more efficient the closer his target is to him, with its effect lessening with distance. It can also be hindered if Quoth's vision is damaged or obscured.

The rocky material this ability generates can be dispelled by Quoth at will.

"I'd prefer if you held still for just a moment." - Quoth

Personality

Quoth carries the air of a sophisticated fool. With eloquent posturing and vocabulary, he isn't too remarkable in most aspects. Not too dumb, not too smart.

He has an obsession with the arts of romance, cultural expression, and drama. Despite being very educated in various aspects of social conventions and societies, he rarely puts any of it to use and forgets what he knows as quickly as he remembers.

"Patience mon ami, our presence has been noted. Now we wait for the pretty birds to notice us..." - Quoth

Backstory

To be added...

"Oh, it is a story of love, friends, and the natural hardships that confound us all...La vie n'est-elle pas belle?" - Quoth

Now the tall boy is small AND regretting his family's life choices! Yay!

[quoththeowl31]

Nani lost her parents too; is it really so far fetched that she'd also want Lilo to stay because she doesn't want to lose even more of her family? She's dealing with the grief and lonliness too but she's doing her best to keep it together because otherwise she'd lose what's left of her loved ones.
