HELLO for the one character design ask thing: glance, motion, canvas, bling, and favorite for elle!! ALSO not exactly one of the asks but for your ocs in bands: how do they dress onstage vs day-to-day?? :0

HI YIPPEE ELLE QUESTIONS! also that band one is rly interesting.. lemme do elle first

glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?

good question.. maybe her thick facial stripes? she has very fluffy cheeks and i like her hair too so maybe that. she has a kind of sleepy looking face

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

she tends to 'stroll' would be the best way to describe her slower gait i think, or 'stride' and move with purpose! she leads with her shoulders and has heavy footing i think. not particularly coordinated but not super clumsy, her only flexibility comes from doing stretches pre workout and her arms/fingers/wrists move easily from being a musician playing bass. i dont know if her clothes rly help or hinder her range of motion she just wears like normal person clothes. they might seem kind of constricting to blue if he tried something like a button-up (he hates buttons) but their styles dont rly match up theyre both masculine in different ways

canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all?

she probably does have scars here and there just from living life but i wouldnt specify them on a ref sheet or really add them in drawings i think, but she doesnt have tats or piercings atm. she likes the look of them she just isnt really interested in them for herself. i think if she did get tattoos she wouldnt care about displaying or covering them she's just walking around

bling: What jewelry does your OC wear? Does it have any meaning?

she doesnt usually wear jewelry she'd probably just motion to her hearing aids and say they count. she may wear rings sometimes but likely not anything else. sometimes she might borrow or wear blue's dog tags (that can signal MANY different things in their relationship or lack thereof at the time)

favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

shes probably got cool work boots she likes that she wears constantly! she also wears cowboy hats sometimes so shes probably got some favorites she got in texas she keeps with her. i dont think she wears them a lot though

---

now for the other question, how my ocs in bands dress onstage vs day-to-day.. its a good question i think it rly just depends! ill go thru them tho.. its mostly blues band with a couple other ocs tossed in there, not all my musicians but not all of them perform on stage and also quite a few of them r newer characters or r going thru design changes so it might not stick if i did include them anyway

blue: it does depend on the show but typically i do think he dresses up more on stage but its mostly in like leather harnesses and spiked wristbands and stuff, maybe more of his piercings in and necklaces, tail bands and stuff. underneath maybe shirtless or in a tank top/black t (that he'll probably throw off at some point) with leather pants maybe, shoes that r comfortable to run around on stage for a few hours in. at home hes just in like a tank top and sweatpants lol. he is not dressing up at home. archetypal masc fits

elle [blues band]: she dresses slightly punkier (wristbands or jewelry maybe) or leans into her country roots more on stage than just day-to-day where she probably wears button ups or something. i could see her dressing kind of like an old southern man ngl lol

dakota [blues band]: ive been struggling w their clothing style at ALL tbh at first i thought i wanted smth more feminine for them then i leaned more masc at the moment im thinking maybe like goth-y punk-y emo androgynous SPECIFICALLY the kind of androgynous associated with that scene. on stage probably lots of black and layers, spiked collar and maybe a leash, etc. dakotas fur color palette is pretty grayscale so i think they lean into that with a lot of black outfits, maybe with splashes of electric blue like their eyes. probably that teal harness sometimes i drew them in on their th

malani [blues band]: shes goth as fuck and she loves skulls i honestly dont think her style changes that much i think she dresses up in her full goth getup to go to the grocery store. shes probably careful about her jewelry on stage tho bcuz shes the drummer and doesnt want her shit to go flying off or tangling with anything when she gets into it

kaisa [blues band]: kaisa probably leans punkier during shows than she does in her general life but not too hard, she likes green too much to commit to an all black ensemble and their music also doesnt like, require that anyway lol. she might wear camo or something on stage more than in her daily life. she likes layering her clothes but doesnt as much during shows cuzit gets WAY too hot

cain: he leans a lot more 'hardcore' in his shows than he does inhis daily life hes giving like hard fem black spikes tall boots but i have no idea what he wears in his daily life his whole thing is being a mystery. he IS fem in his daily life too but he leans into it strongly and in a VERY specific way with how he comes off to the public and how hes decided to take control of being perceived

griff: honestly probably dresses wilder in his daily life than he can at shows but i know his ass is going crazy at his shows too. he is all about the performance and his stage name should probably be icarus. maybei should change it.. it would be on the nose but i dont think it would be the way he'd view himself or name himself at all so

damn those were the only ones.. i always think i have so many musician ocs that perform but i guess i DO have an excuse to make more.. -> doesnt look at the characters that just need design changes n stuff

[tangyss]

anyway im 100% on board with leakira and i wanna pitch my ideas for their outfits lolololol

leandro

wears goggles that help him w sharpshooting, but he usually wears them on top of his head at all times for the Aesthetic. also it would look so cute with his hair curling around them jeisgjsig

his jacket is like og lance’s, but more like a cape w it stretching to his the back of his knees. he never zips it up bc, u know it, it’s for the Aesthetic. also, the sleeves are rolled up to his elbow

if he’s not wearing his turtle neck, he’s wearing the blue baseball shirt lance has with a long as fuck scarf, bc im sorry but that shirt was EVERYTHING and we cant leave it behind digsigssigj

plus i like the idea of when he’s riding w akira on the motorbike, leandro has the scarf billowing behind them alongside his long jacket

has a plain blue ear stud bc he deserves one

scruffy blue trainers/sneakers that he never replaces bc they’re the only shoes he has that are comfortable and he kind of loves them for the sentimental value.... even if his feet end up drenched when it rains, not that he cares

has thigh holsters bc i think leandro would rock them

has a friendship bracelet that his little sister made him. sure it’s pink and has flower and heart beads woven into it, but he hasn’t taken it off in four years and doesnt plan to any time soon

AND he has an anklet. (i bought a blue one from a pier once w shells and tiny bells on bc it made me think of lance lmao so uhhhh leandro has that anklet which he bought from his last time spent at varadero beach

also bc i loved pike’s silver ring on his forefinger leo would have that too Thank You

UMMMMM akira and leandro bought matching ones as promise rings for each other a lil bit after they start dating

akira

the red bandana that keith wears over his mouth in s1 that disappears instantly? akira has that and always wears that around his neck (when leandro hasnt stolen it for the Tan France Looke)

he ends up getting a matching one for his dog bc he’s a big softie at heart

also always wears fingerless gloves at all times, mainly bc he’s impulsive when it comes to fighting/riding his motorbike so he needs them at unexpected time, but also he likes the texture of it and how his hands feel a little more protected w them

wears tshirts, but bc he’s gay he rolls them up to his shoulder to show off his muscles. leo blacks out a lot when akira isnt wearing a jacket and sees “those bad boys” disugsgsigsj

and u kno akira would wear heavy, clunky boots. maybe when he’s not fighting tho, bc he’s stealthy + agile, but w his day clothes he likes wearing boots to look taller and feel a bit tougher lmaoo, also ofc they have hidden knives in. u think akira is a fool?? that he’s playing around here????

idk if anyone has decided about his jacket, but if he does have a biker/leather jacket it should have smth badass on the back. like flames or a lion lmao. at least some patches on the side with some edgy, badass design

the promise ring that he bought w leandro is looped around a necklace, right by his heart.

he doesnt want to wear it on his fingers bc a. it’s hidden by his gloves and he wants the world to see it and b. he’s lowkey planning on using it to propose to leandro one day

akira also has earrings, but they’re little black loops around the shell of his ear

also i kinda dig him having a nose piercing lol... either him, alzina or henare deserve one

also, i like the idea of his scar being either an eyebrow scar of a lip scar... tho a lip scar would look so badass, especially with tiny fangs

hachiko bought him an entire packet of hair bands bc he keeps losing/breaking his, so he just. has them

ugh also akira would have some sort of tattoo. idk what but he’d have one and it’s probably hidden away bc it’s embarrasingly edgy as fuck lmao
