[multi-lefaiye]

happy sts!! I can't think of a specific question but please tell me anything about any of your wips, I'd love to hear it

happy sts!!! a day late but still :D

thank you!!!! hmmm... right now i'm thinking about my biomutant OCs still, so i'm gonna talk about one of my vague biomutant-inspired concepts!! not unhinged fantasy wip right now unfortunately, but another one kinda inspired by the general world.

so there's this vague idea i've had for a biomutant-inspired story called the 29th cycle. have i done much with it? nope! i've mainly just thought about it a bunch and gone "oh that's fun." it's a good example of a wip that's just a bunch of vibes and me going "yeah that'd be cool" and doing it.

HMMMM... okay so i talked the other night a bit about my oc sol whitetail. and sol is a minor antagonist in the 29th cycle. i will talk a bit about them.

so this is sol <3 my baby

[Image Description: A sketch of my OC Sol, an anthropomorphic character with pale yellow fur and darker markings, leaping into the air. They have a long, fluffy tail with a darker tuft at the end and long ears that are folded back. Their muzzle is similar to a cat’s, and they have a furry mane behind their head. The character is wearing mostly purple, including purple fingerless gloves, a purple vest over a darker purple corset, dark purple pants, and socks the same color as their gloves. The character has blue eyes and a determined expression on their face. End ID.]

the basic concept for sol is that they're a mercenary who hunts bandits (or anyone they deem a bandit) for sport. they're very motivated by rage and a desire for vengeance, and their character arc is kind of an examination of revenge narratives, trying to look at it from a more nuanced perspective than just "revenge bad" or "revenge good actually." over the course of the story, sol becomes more of an ally to the protagonists as their character arc progresses.

what does sol want revenge for? well. a lot. but the biggest thing is that sol lost their family, specifically their husband crane. crane was like the last thing in their life keeping them stable, and after his death, they went fucking feral. they'd been very angry and full of violence for many years, but it was crane's death that made them finally snap.

generally, sol travels around the valley that the story takes place in, burning bandit camps to the ground and enacting their own version of justice everywhere they go.

anyway uhhh last fun thing about sol! i still have to draw him. but they have a dragon companion, a big scary monster that they tamed and ride around while hunting bandits down. his name is mars and he has like eight eyes and three sets of wings, and he breathes bright purple fire.

sol is my poor little meow meow and i love them and thinking about their character arc makes me emotional.
