#oc: deadlander lambda

[cordycepsbian]

[cordycepsbian]

the beaft has won! here's a mockup of the celebratory coins we're gonna get made

only 20 of these will ever be made and only one will be made a year. get em while they're hot

We have finally finished this project, and thus, The World's Worst Dating Sim is finally DONE! Just in time for April Fools Day. Now, with our six new contestants, choose, uhh... who's dateable? Or not dateable? This last batch was determined almost entirely by People Telling Us Who To Add, contains multiple AUs, and is... hmm. "Unconventional" may be a good term? Half of these are probably undateable but you can still shoot your shot.

As previously, it can be a platonic date if you want, you just can't be neutral. Deadlander Lambda belongs to @cordycepsbian and has been moved into our studio for duration of this poll. Profiles below the cut.

(we're linking the first poll here)

Deadlander Lambda - Maybe - Deadlander - Good question - At least a little bit

This, uhh...

...is this safe? We don't think this is safe. ..."Already had kids before"? What do you mean it's a parent?

...well, we can't get it out of the studio, so it's an option now? We guess? This... really doesn't seem like a good idea.

Rogu - He/him - Ant drone - Very rude to ask a gentleman that, don't you think? - I wouldn't worry about that.

A charming mystery from somewhere only described as "a faraway land", though he wasn't quite scheduled in this lineup, we think we can make an exception. This silver-tongued bug seems to be able to say just what's needed to get under your skin... and from the look of it, he's angling to take you somewhere private.

...come to think of it, haven't we seen that face before? On a poster, maybe? Well, it's not a surprise he's been modelling for things, he's certainly got a pretty enough face for it, but why do we feel... nervous, all of a sudden?

Carmina - She/(scribbled in)it - (illegible) - (illegible) - (illegible)(scribbled out with "No longer relevant" written in its place)

...where is she? She was meant to show up hours ago. What on earth could have held her up this long?

Pebbles - He/him - Moth ("iterator") - Juvenile (estimated) - Unclear

Right out of surgery, this one. While we're not sure if it's entirely responsible to include this one, and we certainly don't speak whatever language he's speaking... he's cute, isn't he? And looking for a home? Well, maybe if you're the sort of person who might want to rescue a domestic moth in a bad situation...

Wereweevil Vi - It/its (wereweevil form) - Wereweevil - 19 - Aro

Pre-existing hangups mean that you can only date this one in wereweevil form. Good luck.

Kina - She/her - Mantis (big) - Haven't asked - Also haven't asked    

Well, we assume that you can do less lethal than the bandit who people mostly know thanks to her former job as a corpse disposal unit, but some people might be into that sort of thing, honestly. Are you, perchance, also a mantis?

another miscellaneous muse lineage fact: deadlander lambda is highly resistant to most forms of magic, as its primary diet is mimic flies, which are predisposed to being magic as a defense mechanism*

muse inherited some of this magic resistance, which gets weaker the further down the family line you go, but this does mean that she would be partly immune to leif's ice magic in a hypothetical meeting-dead-leif scenario (in fact, she would probably enjoy getting hit by it, since she gets overheated easily and likes being cold)

*our interpretation of hoaxe and his general species ignores the art book explanation of his fire magic in favor of "he was born like that" because we think he should be more of a wretched creature

quick doodle of a Beast from our very normal headcanon worldbuilding we talked about yesterday. it doesn't really have a name, but for classification purposes let's call it deadlander lambda

it's simultaneously a more mutated and more primal version of a typical moth, hence the extra arms and wings. it's also Really, Really Big, almost twice the size of a deadlander gamma, and the mimic flies that inhabit the wastes to the far, far north of bugaria make up a big part of its diet. despite this, it was somehow both genetically compatible with and seen as attractive by a completely average io moth, resulting in what would become bugaria's most normal family line

our visions. actually think there might be more deadlander lambdas than just the one. don't know yet how different they are from each other but there's at least a difference between the pink one and a separate more gray one

[cordycepsbian]

i don't think we ever mentioned this but we decided that the colloquial name for deadlanders lambda is "yeti moths". not that the term gets used very much considering the species consists of only one individual and a handful of hybrid offspring, and it's more of an urban legend to bugarian moths since the big one hasn't been sighted in the area since before the ants even showed up

By virtue of being the only person who submitted something potentially dateable, the polls are now directly rigged in your favor. Also here's the beast on its own.

fascinated by the implication that we win something if enough people vote for this. what's the prize other than several new grandparents-in-law

[cordycepsbian]

none of the deadlander lambda stuff counts as "The North" headcanons because its actual usual range is significantly further north than where the beetles and snow bees live and it has wandered into the area that would now be considered bugaria Once. during this time it learned a language, was pursued romantically by a regular not-dinosaur moth, got beast blasted by a wizard, clawed a hole in stream mountain so it could eat a belostoss, and indirectly caused a wasp civil war that resulted in a faction of them leaving bugaria to live in the deadlands. quite the adventure
