been doodling in my free time on my lunch break and before bed this last week. Betty got workshopped so hard he turned into a different character, so this is the progression of that lmao

so now I have Betty, pretty pink comedian, and Bellatricks, casino vampire (featuring Lester, my oc based on the scrapped Killer Freaks from Outer Space concept)

I have an oc universe. Listen to me.

Hello. It is time to talk about the one thing nobody wants to hear me talk about: my OC universe. Not because it's bad (in my humble opinion) but because I will rant your ear off for about an hour with no stop if you let me. This is not an exaggeration. The Google doc is like 9k words long and I'm not even 1/4 done.

Tldr: Magic is based on emotions, the living don't have magic, if you die in the right places you can be recreated as a spirit and have magic. Long rant below the cut.

So. I have a magic system. It's a pretty simple magic system, at its core. You'd probably be wondering how something as short as the tldr gets turned into 5k words. (...yeah.) Different emotions, different magic. You can control when you cast the magic (we'll get to that later because not really), but you can't control what magic it is unless you're really good at self-emotional manipulation.

The word for magic in this universe is "arcana," that's not really relevant except for the fact that I try not to call it magic because... I really don't know why. But, anyways.

There are two types of arcana, non-physical arcana and cast arcana. Cast arcana is arcana after it has been used by someone, it's the thing that makes the fireball that you hurl at the dragon. (Dragons don't exist) Non-physical arcana is the arcana in the air. Ambient magic, and can be drawn on to cast in some places.

There are places with higher concentrations of non-physical arcana, which are called arcana wells. Non-physical arcana is created by the emotions of the living, and so it gets concentrated when emotional events happen. Arcana wells have rankings of I--V, with I being the weakest and V being the strongest.

If you die in an arcana well, you become an arcanic echo, memory, or spirit. Echo for Rank I, memory for Rank II, spirit for Ranks III-V. Spirits share the same rankings as wells, and are the same rank as their source well, or the well that created them.

Now spirits aren't exactly reborn, right? They're more so a copy of the living, made of concentrated arcana. The higher the rank, the better the copy. Rank I (echoes) can only feel the exact emotion of the well, can't leave it's radius, and are really an extension of the well more than anything. So, sentience is a big moral problem that the majority of the population has been ignoring. They're basically highly advanced AIs, but with magic.

Back to the emotions thing! So, you'd imagine it's simple, right? No. Because I decided that it's a fucking colour wheel and made chaos theory: the magic system. Basically. Imagine the colour wheel, now assign a very specific type of happiness to every single different shade of yellow. For example, yes there's excitement, but that's really a whole block of the colour wheel, and it also covers "excitement, but with a little bit of regret, and nostalgia, and guilt," as well as "excitement, mixed with grief, and annoyance, and a sense of justice." Right?

For the longest time, I didn't know what the effect of the magic would even be. Then I figured it out, by sorting it into broad categories that then get more specific. Happiness is creative, anger is degenerative, calm is regenerative, and sadness is transformative. (Think I got that right, honestly this is one of the less-developed parts.) Basically, anger, which is a broad category of emotion (think, the entire section of red and orange on the colour wheel), corresponds to any arcana that harms anything. Broad category for a broad category, you could flamethrower a guy or strike him with lightning or poison him or anything else. And every minute difference in emotion is matched with a minute difference in its effect.

Pretty sure that covers the magic system, thank you if anyone read all the way down here!

These your mans?

I can be proud of lineart, yes?

I am.

What is Orrin's speech like? Does she have a distinct accent? Or any other notable ways of speaking, like using particular phrases, slang, or terms of endearment?

Bonus question: What does her voice sound like?

Orrin definitely fits into the stereotype of d&d dwarves. She's got that infuriating Irish/Scottish combo accent that makes no sense.

She also uses alot of combination phrases like "burn that bridge when we get to it" or "you opened that cna of worms now lie in it." from growing up around drunk circus performers who basically spoke their own version of thieves' cant. (picture any silly bri'ish slang)

For terms of endearment, she calls Gale "me duck" or "my luv" depends how much she is trying to deflect.

Orrin's Vocie itself is raspy & deep like she's blown her vocal chords too many times(haha neck scars are not to be messed with).

She's basically got a very soothing voice but the words she uses are indecipherable.

'How well would your OCs do against a cockroach' Tag

This ridiculous question is courtesy of @yamiuncornwrites

rules: rate your ocs on how well they'd fare against a cockroach

Eneko either leaves it alone, or if it's somewhere a cockroach shouldn't be, he takes it outside. 9/10 [Bonus: he sees someone else squash it and cries, 3/10 in that regard]

Orrin is taking action, he can't have roaches in his shop! The traps are coming out. 7/10 he can't take these chances, man

Yawa is sweeping it outside with the broom at first, but when it keeps getting back in the house, she's trying to beat it with the broom instead. 5/10, those buggers are fast

Akemi screams, that thing is literally as big as she is. 0/10 she has no chance.

Tagging: uhhhhhh whoever wants to take this, really; I dunno who to tag that either wants to play or hasn't been tagged yet oxo so feel free to steal it
