#more ocs... some other time

[hejnokavek]

I know it's a bad timing considering your last reblog, but I'd love to hear more about your OCS! :D

which last reblog-

oh that one, this is what I get for turning off all my notifs

so, this is Kyan, the guy I'm currently playing.

he is half dragon, half bishounen (for lack of a better word), half muppet. named after a rock (kyanite), and he is dumb as rock as well, and I say that lovingly.

As he is currently, he's a wholesome, simple-minded, easily excited, but ultimately well-meaning guy. Kyan doesn't know much about the world, partly because of how he came to it.

Some years ago, lightning struck a rock face near a small, poor mining village, unveiling a previously unknown cave system, littered with faint blue veins. Upon exploring it further, the people of the town discovered a rather egg-shaped boulder. When they tried to move it out to asses if it was worth anything, it cracked, revealing a sparkling blue interior. Inside stood this guy, scaly, horny (in the literal sense), hunched over, and confused, mumbling what at first seemed to be gibberish.

After the initial surprise, he was led out into the sun, and presented the elders of the village, who eventually identified Kyan's mumbling as a much older form of the language they were speaking. Kyan himself was taken in as the benevolent immortal spirit of the mountain. His missing horn was then explained as a gift to the village's people, as it seemed to be from the same blue rock that was found in the cave. It turned out the rock was quite valuable and brought the village a brief period of prosperity.

During this time, Kyan spent most of his days getting adjusted to sunlight, people, and the current language, which he was slowly learning. He did not remember a thing, which did not seem to bother him much. He watched the people who took great care of him, and had enough sense to go along with whatever legend he was supposedly the personification of. He also conveniently didn't mention that the inside of his egg was inscribed with something, but he couldn't read it and the people of the village couldn't see it.

Eventually, he's adjusted well enough to go outside freely. His preferences and personality also made themselves clearer. The light, plant-based, diet his "believers" provided him was great and clearly made with care, and all Kyan was just much less of an enlightened being and much more of an animal than he tried to let on. As such, he took to sneaking out at night and... fishing, and eating the raw fish as they were, and he guiltily realised that he liked that much better than cooked food. In his infinite wisdom, he then decided that the best course of action, would be to make friends with the people cooking for him and learning from them. This went surprisingly well, and he bonded with the mostly older women around the kitchen and the kids who hung around. There, it became clear that he is very much a yapper with very little filter, who uses his inhuman features to play pranks on kids, and that his cooking is just fine, but nothing exceptional.

It was also there where he received perhaps the most valuable piece of advice, the exact words being: "son, you can make it really far in life with just your looks and height alone, that is if you shut up, though."

Unfortunately for Kyan, he started out as a dnd character, which means a mandatory trauma or two. As such, his 3-year-ish career as a minor benevolent dragon deity ends with a violent torrential downpour that triggers a landslide that buried the village. Kyan crawled out of the rubble a few days later in the form of a dragon. after spending days searching for survivors and contemplating whether he was somehow the cause of this catastrophe. Finally, he puts up a stone there to commemorate the place and essentially runs away.

After this, he spends some years not wanting to engage with his past at all, and largely travels alone, despite feeling profoundly lonely. Eventually, he starts doing odd jobs, mainly in kitchens and inns but his loud mouth tends to cause him trouble and gets him sacked multiple times. After one of these events, he meets a troubled noble whom he quickly befriends (clings onto) and starts travelling with...

---

he's also had a life before his cave-timeout. That part of his story is still kinda vague but it actually explains why he's missing a half of his horn. there is so much more to him tbh, but most of it is confined in chats and this is already long as hell

mermay means the perfect opportunity for me to expand upon the mayu secret third leech sibling au from a while back (why is this becoming a real AU)

Continued my indulgent concept work spree, this time focusing the momentum on updating some concepts from one of my projects (Wind Through the Grass).

yeah i don’t really know how we got here either.

hey uh. something occurred???? so yesterday i decided to try and resprite ralsei for funsies and i got really carried away. there’s 16 of these now. my friends are actively on their way to grab and shake me like orange juice. i have no self control.

this was partially a style test? i’ve got to get to the isat redraw sprites at some point (i promise i haven’t completely dropped the project) and i didn’t really like how Derivative the old mockups were? i wanted to figure out my pixel art style! and i think these helped! so that’s a win in my books. anyways go my sprites. there’s two because i didn’t have room for chara.

Since you’ve shown Liv’s parents will you Show flea’s mums?

Here they are, the babes!

They are life partners as well as business partners, in fact they are the founders and organizers of Fusion Fest! (the big festival that celebrates all troll genres coming together (also the festival Leslie hatched at))

They're both extremely social, Ruth being especially high energy, and they are both passionate workaholics that keep busy 24/7. They're good loving moms but you can easily guess why Flea peaced out and decided to go to uni all the way in Vibe City - they can be very intense to live with.

The album Que Pasa by Babe Ruth is the inspiration for their sound and design. I own a CD of it and love blasting it when I'm alone. 💃

The idea of Riley introducing Arcade to Yes Man has been eating my head for ages- It's gotta be the most awkward first meeting imaginable.

Basic rundown: Shortly after first visiting the Legion Fort, pissing off Caesar and retrieving the platinum chip, Riley decides to open up to Arcade about what he found in Benny's suite after he initially ran off: a new friend with a potential plan to throw all major parties out of New Vegas. So he promises to eventually introduce the two, and imagine Arcade's surprise (or lack thereof) when this 'friend' turns out to be a giant reprogrammed securitron robot.

First impressions are... interesting. I feel like Arcade would definitely be a little unnerved at first, but surprised at the potential for an independent Vegas.
