back on OC bullshit and that means making ✨much needed edits!!✨

(aka i’m ranting about self indulgent stuff for a while)

including, unfortunately, a lot of name changesssss

(so sorry mutuals but some of these characters were named when i was in the third grade they need to go-)

there are a handful of these OCs (chris, ethan, tony, etc.) who are part of the main canon of this Currently Unnamed story, but had originally been created in a modern au *COUGH NINJAGO COUGH*

their names were fine in that context. however, the world that this story takes place in is drastically different from the semi-modern setting of ninjago cough ergo…. they no longer sit right

SOME OF THE ALTERATIONS THAT MIGHT PROBABLY BE CHANGING AGAIN SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE:

daku is definitely getting a whole new name. guranteed, at some point that’s gonna happen

i don’t know what it’s gonna be at ALL

but he was my first oc ever thus i have zero confidence that it wasn’t at least a little bit racist in its origin (i’m like 88% positive that name was pulled from google translate’s asscrack),

no matter how much i like the meanings of the name ‘daku’ in other languages i can’t ignore my sad little third grader attempt to sound japanese,

the sound of it does not suit his character at all, i can’t even come up with a face for him because of it,

i’m tired of it being compared to deku, shall i go on,

chrisanth, or chris, is getting only a minor name adjustment i say before rambling for a thousand years

because i love the idea of naming him after the chrysanthemum flower (i’ve seen too many of those this autumn)

AND the meaning of the particular name ‘chrysanth’ is fucking gorgeous (“golden flower, brilliant and precious flower like gold that glitters in the light” according to one (1) single webbed site) but the step between that name, ‘chrisanth’, and ‘chris’ feels too,,,, shhhhort????

and tbh i’m not sold on the nickname ‘chris’ anyway given the whole. weird japanese/middle eastern vibe-mashup that he has,

neither of which match a name that could be used for a white plumber—

ALTHOUGH, although although i did happen to stumble upon the name CHRYZANT which GREATLY appealed to my fondness for bizarrely-spelled names,

however i did not see any sources that said it meant the same thing as ‘chrysanth’, that it was a literal translation to the chrysanthemum flower,, it’s. not a problem at all rlly, that is what his name is literally based on like i said but i. i just like the other definition that one website gave me so much i don’t care if it’s bullshit i have to stick w/ it for now

so officially his tag has been changed to the weirdly-spelled ‘khrisanth’ for now-

AND THEN THERES TONY.

i don’t feel like iiiiiii have to change his all that much???

considering his full name is anthony and that’s a pretty ‘culturally flexible’ (i say with a HEAVY grain of salt) name??????

but it is weird now because that’s the name of my aunts weird boyfriend and apparently he’s sticking around now SO LIKE—

IM THINKING ABOUT CHANGING IT TO ANTON.

because i fuuuuuckingggg loooooove that name…

and he lives in a region with fashion that is heavily northeastern european-inspired, & as far as i know that name is pretty popular around that region?? i’ve yet to double check on that from reliable sources don’t quote me on that please fjfjfkfh

and then there’s my poor baby oc, ink, who was created in a very half-assed way, uhh fjfjkdhd so far it’s the only ‘officially’ human oc i have in this world?? there are other humans but it’s just. the only one i got? i’m so sorry sweetie werewolves are just hotter than humans—

it uses it/its pronouns, which. i have never done. i want to be careful with this one, not only is it human but it uses pronouns i have never met anyone with before fjfjdkhd i know they’re out there but i just. don’t know any of them, so this character just feels like an egg from some strange bird that i don’t know how to handle at all and i’m just tryina handle it veeeery caaarefully—

ANYWAY OFF TOPIC- i want to give it a name that REALLY suits them. ‘ink’ does not. feel like that. fjhfkdhdjdbdjb

iiii don’t really have any ideas at the moment, but this is one that i’d love feedback on please help me properly care for this bean,,, name suggestions would be great, literally any, i mean it

subj. pn. - he

poss. det. - his

poss. pn. - his

rflx. pn. - himself

age 35, younger due to interdimensional space-time conflicts.

demiromantic polyamorous bisexual homoromantic. textbook bachelor, unmarried.

Kade tends to be brash and significantly swayed by his emotions. With quite a long past of traumatizing (and being traumatized), his cap on what he’d like to say is relatively loose. He grows attached to people quickly yet does not trust easily.

He would sooner drink himself into a stupor to deal with his past than spill his guts to someone he’d like to make a good impression on… However, influences from the mages have convinced him to confront his trauma in healthier ways, even if he does sometimes slip up.

obj. pn. - him

poss. det. - his, zeir

poss. pn. - his, zeirs

rflx. pn. - himself, zemself

age 38.

demisexual biromantic. bachelor. status of his love life is moot.

Though much of a “react now, think later” person, Anthony is a valuable man to know. A fiercely loyal protector, Yana is. He will retain a commanding, stoic demeanor until someone so much as hint that their intentions are less than friendly. A true mother friend and the best hugger.

Theodore “Theo” Yana

gargoyle, created in the Galene Empire. lives with adopted werewolf father in Varryk.

Single child. female

subj. pn. - he

obj. pn. - him

poss. det. - his

poss. pn. - his

rflx. pn. - himself

age physically 20+. acts & appears 13.

Theo is a bright young boy with an eye for the wonder of the world, and a heart for adventure. He has a heart for injustices and every word that leaves his lips is filled to the brim with passion and enthusiasm. Having been developed as a thirteen year old since the day he was created, he has become very wise for his age, even if a bit brash. He can be headstrong but he always has good intentions at heart.

Montgomery “Monty” Aurelius

hybrid elf, mage. birthplace unknown, currently lives in Amarrin kingdom.

sibling to Alice. genderless

subj. pn. - he, they

obj. pn. - him, them

poss. det. - his, her

poss. pn. - his, hers

rflx. pn. - himself, herself

age (at time of death) 27 (current age 62).

omnisexual abroromantic. widowed.

Ryne can be a very quiet individual. After being resurrected ten years after his murder, he often finds himself in reflection. He’s become a calm fellow who’s taken it upon himself to be noble about his undead situation… even if that means physically deteriorating over immortality at the expense of others.

Ink

human, birthplace unknown. currently resides in Amarrin. adopted into noble heritage.

Single child. genderless

subj. pn. - it, they

obj. pn. - it, them

poss. det. - its, their

poss. pn. - its, theirs

rflx. pn. - itself, themself

age 24.

asexual demi-biromantic. uninterested in committed relationships.

Ink is reserved and polite, with a air about them that demands respect despite their small stature. Although they are more on the quiet side, they take it upon themself to care for their village and lead to the best of their abilities. Their stoic, well-mannered presentation is very hard to break, though there have been… moments.

Khrisanth “Chris” Vixantosh

kitsune mage, birthplace unknown. resides in Amarrin among mage tribe.

No siblings. male

subj. pn. - he

obj. pn. - him

poss. det. - his

poss. pn. - his

rflx. pn. - himself

age 323.

aromantic omnisexual. uninterested in long-term romantic relationships.

Chris never second-guesses himself. This is both his best and his most damning quality. He does not come to build trust easily and would sooner give you an ice cold shoulder than admit that you were right about something. He struggles to process emotions and is quite quick to anger, though he finds he is best able to work around this when he is far from people.

Serena “Sarr” Cawlli

Nirim

demon, operates primarily in Varryk but has worked in other realms before.

No siblings. xenogender, uses exclusively neopronouns

subj. pn. - xe

obj. pn. - xim

poss. det. - xer

poss. pn. - xers

rflx. pn. - xemself

age unknown.

Nirim is a sadistic creature who exists only to entertain xer own twisted fantasies. Xe has a very grand outlook on the existence of life in the sense that it is so fleeting that it is irrelevant. To xim, living creatures are a mere speck of dust on the cosmic bookshelf.

At first, xe can be a difficult entity to predict. Although it has been done, Nirim will not make it easy, until you grasp that xe will only ever act with xer own interest in mind, and such interest is usually established on the suffering of others.

places (chances are I’ll pick at these pretty gradually,,, stay tuned ig) -

Varryk:

Frozen Beyond: a world of icy danger beyond the Northern Territory. During the winter, the temperatures can drop to well below freezing. It is a world where light is a rarity and darkness is a forgotten memory. The Beyond is a world where nothing matters but the survival of you and your companions and the ever-present need to keep a steady body temperature.

Northern Territory: An expansive werewolf territory that lies beyond the northern mountains and spans across a huge forest of redwood trees. It is one of the few regions with four seasons. The werewolves that inhabit it are difficult to reach to trade with due to the extreme terrain, however there are many willing to make the journey regardless, primarily by boat, because of the Matsumaru Pack’s steady supply of lumber and tools.

North Alps: a range of high peaks that rise from the surface of the world. They are home to very few villages, but the ones that do exist live in the lowlands. The mountains are rich in ore, and a few orc clans have been able to establish themselves in the mountains, mining and smithing to put food on the table. The mountains are cold, snowy, and most of the year they are covered in a thick fog.

Grasslands: A vast plain spanning across much of the central continent. It is home to centaurs and farmers and mages passing through. Though at first glance it may look barren, but the plains are home to much wildlife, including rabbits, hawks, harpies, deer creatures and coyotes. To the north of the grasslands looms the mountain range, while the south holds the merciless desert. Those looking for a peaceful, quiet life often find it here.

Desert: The desert resides in the south. It is a place of heat, sand, and arcane. The desert has long been a place of strife. It is difficult for the inexperienced to traverse, and can be lethal to those who are caught in sandstorms or floods, or who are endlessly wandering the dunes in search of water. On the other hand, there are many towns. Bazaars and markets are a common sight and the practice of magic and the study of arcane flourishes among its inhabitants due to the mystical resources of the jungle to the west.

Jungle: a sprawling, seemingly endless forest of enormous trees, strange vibrant plants, and unimaginable creatures. The jungles are hot, humid, and filled with a variety of predators (most notably, the giant spider-like creatures known as driders.) It’s home to many hidden temples and ancient ruins and items of magical significance and it is a common sight to see adventurers lose their way in the jungles trying to find these things. It is unwise to venture in without a guide who knows the way.

Southern Territory: A large werewolf territory that encases a good portion of both the desert and jungle. The Cawlli Pack regulates traffic within their borders, and sometimes outside of it, assuring that travelers both reach their destinations safely.. and avoid the ancient ruins that the pack has so devotedly protected for centuries.
