#arno self insert

[tamiisnthere]

A very dumb comic I've been working on for a long few days. Idk what it was supposed to be about exactly... 😔

Some parts are done poorly like the water photo and the flowers are not rigged at all, because for two or three days in Blender I was just modifying Arno's new model I ripped from the game and it was traumatizing... 😭

[kanedaloveslas]

I wrote something.

An character x oc if you will. Though the oc is just Las.

I was thinking of Las being in the assassins creed unity game. Las is native btw!

Where Las is taken in by Arno's dad. Before the events of unity and the time skip.

So uh here it is!

Arno's father takes las in when he found her on the streets one night. Bar patrons throw food at her and call her a savage.

The assassins didn't know what to do with her. 

She was too malnourished, almost sickly. So Arno's father takes her in for a night. A night turns into a week. Weeks turn into a month and then Arno is just too fond of las. For his father to part them.

Arno's father knows how dangerous it is for a young boy's father to be an assassin, to have a little girl be tangled in this. He knows the dangers of las being a girl but he dresses her as a boy to protect her. He explains it as a way to keep her safe. On his way home that night he dresses las in boys clothes at the assassins hideout before introducing 'him' to his son. 

But he knows one day he'll have to tell his son. Maybe tonight at the fireworks. Maybe he'll tell His friend François de la serre after the meeting.

"You two sit here. I'll be back when this hand reaches the top. Okay? Las you stay by Arno at all times okay?" He glanced down at las patting his head. 

"Yes sir." 

Arno's father smiled, turning to Arno, "and you. No exploring got it?" He smiled, patting Arno on the head."

"You two just wait a while. I'll return in no time." Keep eachother safe. "When I return. We'll go see the fireworks." He smiled ruffling both of their hair.

Las and Arno nodded watching him make his way down the hall, god helps those two from getting into trouble. Las he didn't have to worry about her, she was a timid child, shy, and sweet. She wouldn't do anything to get them in trouble. Arno on the other hand. He sighed he was thankful Las was there by his side to be his voice of reason.

~~~~~

Las and Arno smiled at each other glancing at the painting behind them, when they heard a giggle. They turned, to see a girl in a silly hat, "C'mon you two, you don't wanna just sit there all day do you?" 

Arno, curious as ever, was about to jump at the chance to leave, Las grabbed his arm, pulling him back, "we shouldn't. Your father said to wait." 

"Well be okay. Just a little while, Las." Arno gives Las a reassuring smile. As he pulls her along. 

Elisé frowned at Las like they were ruining her plans. Las at that moment felt like she wasn't supposed to be here, like she was interrupting their fun. 

Arno frowned seeing Las suddenly look so sad. "We don't have to. We can wait." 

"You two are no fun." Elise pouted "well at least come with me to the courtyard. I saw some sweets when I went by with my father. They should still be there. We can grab some and come back at the very least right?" 

Las shrugged "i-i don't know" 

Arno smiled "please? It'll be fun, I know you like sweets." 

Las finally gave in nodded as Arno grinned, practically dragging las behind him and elisé.

Before they turned the corner las looked behind them and swore she saw a hooded figure.

~~~~

“I was just hoping you would come with me.” Elise said. “Not.the savage…” 

Las frowned. “I can go back-”

“No. Las is my brother. He's not leaving my side. I'm not sure if I like you..” 

There was an awkward pause and Elise just smiled. 

“I was just joking. Didn't go over too well huh?” 

“I didn't think it was funny.” Arno said. 

“I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I won't call him that anymore, can we just get some treats?” Though Elise said that Las didn't feel any more comfortable. 

“Are you okay with this Las?” Arno asked, glancing at Las who snapped out of her thoughts. 

“Ah Yea-yeah.”

“Okay then! Let's get Those snacks!” arno declared. Las, the rest of the day stayed out of Elises’ way, even though Elise tried to get him caught by the guards. Arno said it was that They all would've been caught and punished. Las wasn't so convinced.

~~~~~~~~~~~

When Arno's dad died, Las cried and Arno could only hold them as Elises’ dad took him by the shoulder. 

“Arno I will take you in as a service to your father. As for you.” He eyes Las and takes pity on their tear streaked face. “He was going to tell me about you. I guess he was serious about keeping you. I will take pity on you. You have nowhere to go. I will find somewhere for you.” 

“We stay together!” Arno declared holding Las's hand in his. “It's what my father would've wanted. please. Let las stay with Elisé, I will work for you, just keep las with me. I beg of you.” Arno cried, Las’ eyes widened, they never knew Arno cared. 

“Fine. I will take you with me. Elise, you will get to know Las.” 

“Yes father.” 

Elisés’ dad looked at Las and ruffled his hair. “You will call me father from now on.” 

“Yes sir- father.” 

“Good good. Let us be off.” 

~~~~~

“Sir…” del a serre's maid fidgeted as he eyed her curiously. 

“Well spit it out.” 

“Um… the child you took in.” 

“Which one?” 

“The the- Las. Well Las is. He's not a he. Sir.” 

“What?” 

“Las is a girl. A young lady rather than a young man…” 

“That's what Charles was trying to tell me…” de la Serre mumbled to himself. 

“Sir?”

“Tread carefully. Treat the child as a girl in private. But as boy in public.”

“But sir-”

“It is what Dorian would've wanted.”

“Shall we tell Arno and Elisé?” 

“No. this will be between us, and the child.”

“Yes sir.” 

~~~~~~~~~

As the years went by Arno And Las grew. When Arno took fencing. Las did as well. When Arno learned how to free run Las did as well. Where Arno went so did Las. Though Las was with Elise constantly they never really clicked, Arno is what held them together. 

When Elise was being harassed at parties Las would step in. For awhile there were rumors of Elise and Las being together romantically Las just laughed.

Arnos new founded crush on Elise went over Las head. Elise never seemed interested in Arno. But she would get unusually close to Las. Who would shrug it off as them being siblings.

[teecupangel]

May I ask about #13 on the list?

Of course, nonny!

no 13 from the List of AC Fic Ideas I have at the moment:

13. Desmond meets other AC protags (Altaïr being a dick)

(note: in this fic idea, Desmond doesn't know how to speak any other language than English for more shenanigans)

Before Desmond could use the device, the Eye starts creaking and shit

The following gets transported

Altaïr Ezio Connor Edward Aveline Frye Twins Arno Ade

Desmond’s like wtf

But at the same time, holy shit

Desmond being hey, hey Ezio (points at self) Desmond! Dessmmoonndd

Ezio being DESMOND? MY DESMOND???????

Evie about to pass out because OH MY GOD! It's Ezio Auditore and Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad! OH MY GOD! ARE YOU SEEING THIS JACOB? JACOB!!! (Stop hitting me, Evie! Yes! I see them! Ow!)

(insert Edward and Connor moment here)

(NOTE: Take Arno from Dead Kings, NOT base game. Apple is better than sword and we do not want to deal with the whole Elise dumb dying thing.)

Desmond trying to organize the Assassins. 

Team English

Desmond Connor Aveline Frye twins Edward Ade

Team French 

Ezio Arno

Altaïr staring at all of them as they try to communicate for a few minutes with Aveline being the only French/English speaker so she's translating everything before finally showing he understands ENGLISH AND FRENCH

Desmond: Oh, you dick

Altaïr admitting it's strange that he understands their French and English and is also speaking their French and English 

They realize it's ISU bullshit (would be nice if it gave everyone a way to speak to each other like a universal translator but the Isus are bigger dicks than Altaïr)

Ends:

All of them came from a period where they were using an ISU artifact. 

They use their ISU tech to help Desmond not die. 

They remain in the present???

Ends with Desmond being oh no

Dude, keep this a oneshot or you know you're gonna end up writing Desmond x everybody. 

Add to End Notes when posting:

Hey, teecup. Where's Shay??? 

Okay. Serious talk. I was thinking if I should include Shay but I realize that the only point that we know Shay held a POE was in Portugal before the earthquake so we'll get Assassin!Shay who has no idea that he became a turncoat. Another thing is that if I added Shay, there will have to be a conflict between him and Arno and that would have turned this entire thing more serious and I just wanted to write something fun.

Also...

I made this for this idea:

creating assassin creed ocs not in the self insert way but in the “i just want arno to have friends dear gd he’s so alone” kind of way

꧁Introduction꧂

Greeting everyone who accidentally discover this random blog.

♛ this is the very personal blog. It contains both serious and shit posts. Also; I reblog whatever I love, I like, I wanna and I need to. Sometimes, I ramble, whine, do carthasis-ing.

🌈 I go with the 'SeptimaSeverina' alias, because I like number 7 and I want to acquire Latin.

✅ You can call me Sept, Jo (derived from my Cantonese name that my father had given me) and Sreesaptaa or Ravindaa (रविन्दा - my sanskrit names)

💯 My family members and my closest friends define me as 'nerdy', 'artsy', 'indie', 'Tsunami-like', 'goth', 'emo', 'kinda-complicated' and so many.

🤓 Love to learn and study almost everything, but too lazy to get another degrees. Because I'm tired and so done with educational system.

you/Arno cuddle headcanons?

Iron Pen cuddle headcanons

I’m usually the little spoon but Arno and I take turns being the little spoon.

We cuddle almost every night before bed.

Arno likes holding hands sometimes during our cuddle sessions.

We’ll run fingers through each others’ hair.

Whenever I’m the little spoon, Arno somehow pushes me to one side of the bed.

Lots of pillow talk.

Arno will gently rub my back sometimes or whenever I ask because of my mild back pain. 

Usual neck kisses when we’re spooning.

Thank you so much anon for requesting these. Hope you enjoyed!

[shaycormacaroni]

What if..I told you..that I’m in the mood to write something soft (™️) for Shay..

[kiatheinsomniac]

You know who I am.Can you,please,kindly and gently,write (with all the Assassins) how the scenario would be if they are ahem making love with the 'reader' while outside it's raining?You know,how they behave,if they like it and etc etc (you know why I am asking you this u-u).Maybe it's strange,maybe it's weird.Thanks for this annnnd,I love your works anddddd ti amo e ti aDOROOOO!!!

Making me do your work for you, huh dolcezza? That’s smart 😏👀 LET’S GOOOOO

Altaïr: You’d been at a hot spring with him when the rain started pouring down. You both sought shelter under an overhanging of rocks. To “pass the time” you both ended up in a steamy situation, on all fours in front of him with his cloak underneath you. The sound of heavy rain drowned out the heavy groans and pants as well as Altaïr talking dirty to you when he pressed his chest against your back, tugging (not too harshly) on your hair to pull your head back and make sure you can hear him.

Ezio: The both of you had been caught in the rain and made it back to your villa soaking wet. After you peeled off your clothes and set them to dry by the fire, soaking wet, you found strong arms around your bare waist. Ezio slowly tugged you down onto the carpet in front of the fireplace where he began to squeeze your thighs and kiss your neck, insisting on “warming you up” by making love next to the hot flames.

Edward: If Caribbean rain’s anything, it’s spontaneous and relentless. You were in Edward’s cabin, watching from the window as the sea water rippled with the millions of raindrops that attacked it. Seeing as you were trapped in a room with Edward, the rain pelting down on the deck, the two of you made good use of the scenario when he pressed you up against the glass and teased you until you were begging for him inside you.

Connor: You had been waiting at Davenport Manor for him to return from hunting. To occupy yourself, you’d taken to grooming the horses in the stable which sheltered you from the rain. When Connor returned and couldn’t find you, he eventually spotted you outside and went out to invite you back in. You both sat by the window playing a silly race game with the raindrop. Best of three: whoever wins gets a kiss. You won and wanted a lot more than that which led to Connor carrying you to the bedroom and you riding him while he gripped your ass.

Arno: You had woken up to the sound of thunder, laying in your shared bed with Arno and watching the purple cracks of lighting that you could spot through the balcony doors. It was a lulling sound: the melody of rain pattering and thunder booming while lightning performed a dazzling show. Arno woke up and saw you laying on your stomach, watching and listening calmly, nature creating a somewhat sensual song and atmosphere that mixed with the hot night. Arno laid himself over you as he began teasing your body mercilessly before having slow and loving sex, keeping his weight on your back and gripping your body under him.

Jacob: Rain in England is about as surprising as the sun rising every morning. This meant that you and Jacob often used this time as an excuse to be with one another. You couldn’t imagine anything more lulling than the gentle rolls of thunder and patter of rain mixed with the quiet rattling and rocking of the train. You sat on Jacob’s lap on a chair, just enjoying his company until he began kissing your neck sensually, hands roaming all over your body and teasing you with pressing his thigh up between your legs. You ended up tearing his clothes off and making love to him right on that chair.

Arno x Jerico

I used Google translate so if anything Wonky y'know why

Often times parties were a sign of richness and greed.

An special event to celebrate something perhaps too.

Arno,always attracted to these kind of events found his way in.

The colossal Palace was brightly lit with chandeliers hanging from the ostentatious ceilings ornamented with gold and contrasting the white walls.

"Why this big of a party?", he asked himself.

The french Man bumps into someone,they drop their purple fan.

--Oh my most sincere apologies madame

He picked the item up and handed it to the person.

Their eyes meet, its a beautiful woman, porcelain skin and sharp features,big green eyes.

Her eyes were most peculiar, arno felt his breath hitch, he swore they were shining under her cute Hat decorated with sunflowers,Like emeralds under a candle.

Her hair in a bun covered by said hat with a few loose strands of hair.

Her attire was most peculiar, It looked familiar yet New to him.

18th century gown with earthy colours, another dress or something with some kind of turtle neck stamped with sunflowers.

--Oh dont worry--she said in a subtle accent he never heard before-- im too clumsy too

Then a Man,taller than arno looked at this mysterious girl, and spoke to her in a foreign tongue.

--hir kazwiv--(yes father) she answered back--Im sorry but I have to go

And so like that the Man and that enigmatic Lady dissapeared Into the crowd.

Who was she? What language was that?.

--You really outdid yourself this time Ray!

Jer pulled down on the Mans sleeve.

--Dont give me that look we still have to wait 100 Years more to reveal ourselves.

The Man sighed,he loved her daughter dearly but he had to admit that sometimes she was too much to handle.

--That doesnt mean you shouldnt let me have fun!besides he only gave my fan back!.

--ah mr Karuma Von terra and ms. Jerico Von terra,glad you could make it, is france too much to handle?

Ray wants to roll his eyes so bad,but he shakes his head and forces a smile-- not at all

--we Will discuss our arragement with you mr.von terra , let your daughter enjoy her stay at the Palace and have fun , oh and heres the keys to your bedroom ms.Von terra

Jer quickly takes the keys and puts it in her dresses inner pockets,terrans fashion was way out of this centuries reach.

Ray cant say anything before his daughter runs away from his grasp.

Both men walk alongside the other.

--Sadly mr Morgan couldnt make it,being a doctor took a toll on him,however he did say he Will come by to say hello.

Ray nodds

--Children huh?

The terran Man smiles --Yeah, rowdy bunch,however jerico seems to be having fun, shes a Smart kid,sadly until our reveal to the world isnt done I am afraid I cant let her get into trouble,we cant delay this any longer

His companion nodds and guides him to an Office.

Meanwhile,her daughter was talking with some of her father acquaintances.

She politely excused her leave and decided to find some more food to munch on.

The crowd seemed thick and busy.

Arno was looking everywhere for that girl, so much he started to sweat and he rested against a wall.

A soft breeze reached his face and when he Turned to see what was causing it, he felt dumb.

--too warm?--It was that woman she was looking for.

--Im afraid so...., Arno Victor Dorian

--Jerico Von Terra

He softly grabs her spare hand and kisses the back of it.

Her cheeks flush and she lets him hold her hand for a bit longer.

They Keep eye contact for a bit too, and suddenly, realizing that it was in fact too busy for their liking.

The french Man noticed that something was wrong,jeri seemed twitchy and unconfortable.

--Everything okay mademoissele?

She can only shake her head and thats when he realizes shes overwhelmed by the huge crowd.

He nodds and puts a hand on her Lower back trying to find an exit.

There, a stair that leads up to the guest bedrooms.

He pushed her closer to him as they passed the gatherings of people,helping her up the stairs.

Once on the upper floor she makes a signal to arno, he follows up to her bedroom.

Its spacy with decorations on the walls and ceilings,flowers And a big bed, he thought that maybe three people could fit in there.

Jerico sat on the bed, the Man sat with her and grabbed the fan from her shaky hands, using it to cool her down.

She hasnt spoke and whatever was left for him to do was to hesitantly put a hand on her shoulder and then down to her bicep to push her against his chest while still fanning her.

--Thank you

She whispers pressing her head to his chest.

The frenchmans cheeks flush red and tightens his grip around her.

He hasnt felt this way since....since elise,rest in peace.

His heart healed from old wounds a long time ago, and suddenly he felt it Flourish again at the sight of her.

--Anything I can get you?

He asked.

--Maybe water,and could you tell a servant to inform mr von terra that im here?

--Hes your father I suppose?-- she nodds- very Well miss ill be right back....

Arno leaves giving her back the fan, asking for a glass of water and telling a maid to deliver the message to jericos father.

Now the night went on , so did the party.

Altough Ray did not approve of arno being alone with jerico in her room,he trusted his daughters judgement for once.

Jer was looking out the balcony, arno comes from behind and squeezes her shoulder--How are you feeling now belle? (Beautiful?)

--alors vous demandez à tout le monde comment vont-ils?(so thats how you ask everyone how are they?)

--seulement ceux qui me semblent jolis(only to those I find pretty)

--And you find me pretty?

--oui (yes)

Arnos hand holds jericos as they lean into the other,his spare arm hugs her waist and Jers falls loosely around his Lower back.

Their lips press togheter for an instant,before parting away and then again meeting the other.

He felt like not letting go, he didnt want to leave tonight.

He felt his heart explode in Many colours as the vitraux in the cathedral when the sun hits it.

--Stay?--she asked softly as their foreheads pressed togheter.

--How long Will you stay?I cant say goodbye now

Jer felt her chest warm, and pressed a soft kiss on his lips again--A month maybe,but I do wish to see you again monsieur dorian...

Arno lifts her up like a bride and carries her back to the bed where he promptly lets her back rest and hover above her, letting his head fall on the crook of her neck to then cuddle her in said bed.

--Then ill stay

Jerico smiles , hugging him tightly.

Arno knew almost nothing about her,but this whole night felt right.

--bonne nuit chéri(good night sweetheart)

--bonne nuit mon prince( good night my prince)

And they were just getting started.

Every afternoon while Ray discussed the affairs that had brought them there, jerico and arno would sneak out to eat something at the most beautiful cafes in france.

Walk among the shore, and travel the markets.

When the clouds were present and the rain fell mercislessly upon france, they would be found in bed, cuddling eachother in the dark as the fireplace cracked.

And slowly,jer started to reveal who she was.

But not things like,what she liked, what interests she had,wich books she read,he found out about that the first week they spent togheter.

No, where she came from,why so much mistery upon their arrival.

She was a princes from a Place yet to be discovered,or to be revealed to humanity.

He had to spend a whole day processing all the information he was given.

And, yet that only made him want her more.

But love grew and the month fled away fast.

Both lovers were scared of separation, they couldnt be appart for long.

Ray,who had loved as strongly as his daughter did, decided to let her stay in a Palace in the outskirts of france in wich arno would move in a couple of weeks after.

Jer had the opportunity to leave france whenever she wanted.

But seeing that her love for arno was too big,as were his, it seemed that it would be a long time before that would happend.

Now,in a hot summer day, jer was under a tree, Reading when she felt a breeze.

--Mon amour...--her boyfriend said using the same purple fan who helped them meet to cool her down- May I get a kiss?

Jeri giggled at the dorkiness of arno, and nodded, kissing him softly.

They were not letting go any time soon.

OC Spotlight: The Cardinal Virtues

This isn’t so much a spotlight on each of these four individual characters so much as an elaboration on how they came about and why they’re so closely related in my mind despite no more than two of them appearing in a single universe at at time thus far. Honestly, I felt this elaboration is necessary just to save space for if/when I do individual spotlights for them.

The Cardinal Virtues are some of my very favorite OCs that I have, and I’ve been calling them that because each one roughly corresponds to one of the four cardinal virtues. In truth, all four are very similar in a lot of ways, for reasons I’ll explain soon, but to prevent this from getting too long...

Hunter Stone - Justice Valerian Isolde - Strength Arno Buenaventura - Temperance Carter Wroden - Prudence

The first thing to know about them, is that Hunter and Valerian (Vale) were originally meant to be the same character. Likewise, Arno, though not created with Vale in mind, was put into my personal cast of OCs with the intention of him “replacing” Vale for stories where Vale isn’t really appropriate. Likewise, Carter was created as a “replacement” of sorts for Arno.

All of them grew in their own ways and developed into distinct characters, but it’s important to note that the framework of their characters, esp. Hunter/Vale and Arno/Carter are essentially the same, and based around my original concept for Hunter, who is actually my very first OC.

Now, I didn’t design them to fit so nicely into the four cardinal virtues. In fact, the reference to the virtues is something that only arose very recently, as I was looking into adding Carter and Arno into my Persona daydream story and stumbled across references to the virtues by chance as I was trying to assign arcana to them.

But this isn’t a spotlight of the characters themselves, but rather how they’re related, and for that we’ll have to go all the way back to my very first OC ever, Hunter Stone.

Hunter is, for all intents and purposes, retired as a character. I haven’t seriously worked with him in many, many years, yet he’s almost constantly on my mind because Arno and Carter, both characters I work extensively with today, are so closely connected with him.

He was my favorite OC for a long time, and my primary best friend and sometimes love interest character in my daydream stories at the time (yes, I romance my OCs in those daydream stories and yes, I’m only admitting to that because that is one of the threads tying these characters together.) until the time I decided to make an original story.

That story was a fantasy novel, and ultimately a tragedy. It’s pretty much abandoned now, though I’d like to use that world for a story at some point, but the creation of that fantasy world is where things got... slightly out of hand.

Now, I should note that a large portion of the magic system used in that fantasy world actually comes directly from my development of how psychic powers work in the Pokemon world (where Hunter is from - kindly don’t remind me that middle-school me thought making an OC child of Steven Stone and Wallace for my cringy grimdark Pokemon story was a good idea. He’s keeping the name, though.) and thus a lot of the framework for how certain things work came from that world as well. Including some characters.

That said, there’s a bit more background we need before getting into that original story. And that, my friends, is Wizard101. I promise you I am completely honest when I say this, and you can trust me because if it wasn’t true there is no way in hell I’d ever admit to this, but “Valerian” is actually the name of my Wizard101 main. I once made a half-baked attempt at a Wizard101 fanfic, and my love for Hunter meant I wanted him in the story, but I decided to use “Valerian” as his name instead to nod to my actual in-game character. For both our sakes, I won’t elaborate any more than that and continue into the original story.

The original story started, at first, in media res with Hunter and some other OCs and their problem, and helping them out is this team of adventurers who were, in hindsight, basically there to babysit the main cast. I actually wrote a lot for that story - most of it, in fact - but eventually decided to change it entirely and set the story two years prior, focusing on that previously mentioned band of babysitters and how they came to be.

But I love Hunter, and couldn’t stand to let him go, so Valerian Isolde comes in to take his place. Vale is probably the single character of mine that has changed the most throughout his development - he actually was in the original script of the story as one of the babysitters, not to mention the other changes from when he was a copy of Hunter as a Wizard101 OC - and that would be much more appropriate for a spotlight of his own, but suffice it to say I ended up with a story with Vale and Hunter both, and them different enough that it honestly doesn’t feel weird even today.

(Needless to say, with my mind so much in that original universe, Vale occupied a lot of my daydreams. He was my primary companion character, often bringing him into fandom universes, though it always felt off to try to romance him, and to an extent even have him around, because of his canon romance and other ties in his native story.)

Enter Arno. Arno Malik Buenaventura is a character I created in tandem with one of my friends as we were traveling to and from university. Long car-rides and shared fandoms, two writers stuck in the car together, there’s only one logical conclusion.

He and his twin sister, Elizabeth, were created for a shared story we worked on. It never developed into anything, really, and to be honest I never really felt right for a while after that using either of them, as they aren’t technically “mine” so I used Arno as a background character for a while. If I needed a name in a fic, just some random schoolgoer who’s mentioned, that kind of thing, I’d use Arno.

I ended up getting more comfortable with him and using him more freely - he’s one of the featured OCs in my ML Twin AU, actually - though I still don’t use Elizabeth much if at all. That’s the reason she doesn’t appear in that story despite being mentioned several times, and being his literal twin - I just kind of feel like she’s more my friend’s OC than my own.

Anyway, I fell in love with Arno, and since, for a while, I was nervous to use him as a character proper due to his origin, he ended up becoming a character that appeared often in my daydream stories - the ones I don’t write, which are usually self-insert just for my own entertainment.

But I ran into another snag like with Vale. Arno didn’t have a love interest at the time, but I was getting older and it started to feel weird to me to play out imaginary romances with imaginary boyfriends in my daydream stories only to turn around and have him as a perfectly ordinary character in my actual written ones.

The solution was simple: make an OC cast reserved for self-insert daydream stories. “Their” stories, their native stories, would include me, or rather my self-insert character based on me. So, I did. Thus, Carter was born. To this day, Carter is my “imaginary boyfriend” and because of that is probably one of the most heavily featured OCs I have in terms of number of universes they appear in - he’s just in my daydream versions of those universes rather than the ones I use for actual stories.

The rest of his crew, some of which are mentioned in the one fic I’ve written that includes him, including his “love interest” Avery Graham who is, in truth, my self-insert character (though not, technically, meant to be me), are also part of my “Daydream Cast” which follow me around and appear as-needed in my daydream stories so I can avoid awkward situations with characters who are supposed to have very clearly defined stories not ruined by me running around in their backyards, so to speak. I don’t always care about that, but sometimes it doesn’t feel right.

Anyway, that’s  the summary of the four who were supposed to be one but somehow separated into four completely distinct characters. I know I didn’t really describe what makes them similar and different in this spotlight, but their character analyses are much more appropriate for individual spotlights and this one has already gone on long enough, I think.

Interestingly, though, despite the fact that you can roughly categorize them as old (Hunter/Valerian) and modern (Arno/Carter) they actually match up in personality more closely in the pairs of Hunter/Carter and Vale/Arno, though in the first case that’s somewhat by design and in the latter is because that’s one of my favorite archetypes of characters. Hunter/Carter are also the most similar in design of them all with Vale being a huge outlier design-wise.

That’s enough for now, though. I’ve leave this here before I add on another whole essay about these four.
