#oc: philomena 💚

[fangaminghell]

I think I finally figured out Mena's roster.

Spoilers for desolation below

I can also see her getting one of the lake trio, probably Uxie since I feel that fits her more. As for Cresselia....I'm not entirely sure just yet. Also maybe some other hisuian pokemon like Zoroark but. Yeah.

This just in. Philomena and Aurora are Divorced™

[fangaminghell]

Okay so it's later, and I can't sleep, so here's the context to the " Philomena and Aurora are Divorced" post.

Philomena: She comes from a family that was blessed by Cresselia as a result of said family worshipping it. As a result, Philomena was born with powers, while her twin brother was not. Don't worry, since the family is blessed by Cresselia, they are all protected from Darkrai, powers or not.

I was worried that Philomena's powers would interfere with the plot, making things too easy and convenient. When talking to @tired-needs-sleep about it, she suggested that Philomena had her powers suppressed. The first thing I thought of was the twins, and either one of them or both causing something to happen for Philomena's powers to be severely weakened/suppressed. So remember that fic I wrote with Philomena facing off against the twins and pretty much flexing her power? Yeah now it has a twist to it! Philomena still won, driving them off, but the trade off is that she's much weaker than she was before.

Okay so what does this have to do with Philomena and Aurora being "divorced". WELL. Of the twins, Philomena definitely got under Aurora's skin the most, both due to her power and her carefree attitude. They always had this banter going on, I imagine, usually involving Mena annoying Aurora lol. So I imagine it was her, Aurora , that ended up weakening Mena's powers somehow, and boy oh boy you know Aurora is gonna be so petty about it when they meet again. " Aw, looks like your powers aren't what they used to be 🥺....who's the weak one now?". This change in dynamic means that Mena went from honestly not giving Aurora much thought outside of a funny emo girl to someone she is genuinely annoyed with. Hence The Divorce. It's funnier bc they were never a thing. Or maybe they were who knows. It's Toxic Yuri either way.

And yes, Mena took the kids.

More things about my deso ocs after a very fun convo with a friend.

Cande and Hardy just don't like each other. They're two extremes of the same situation: Cande stuck to his morals, while Hardy went down the " by any means necessary" route. Neither of them are wrong in their beliefs, but bc of how opposite they are they end up having a less than favorable view of each other.

Lilith ( deso ) most likely met Philomena when Lilith went to Mena's family for help. However, due to her reputation, they turned her away. Mena was the one to do so, but her extremely carefree attitude led to her somehow befriending her. Lilith doesn't know how this happened, and Mena's family questions her judgment in friends.

Asra didn't exactly trust Tristan at first, not exactly believing his kindness was genuine. However, after spending time with each other, they quickly realized that Tristan was truly a kind hearted individual.

Asra has pretty much become multishipper royalty. I don't have a canon ship for them cause they have really good dynamics with people lol. Though in discussing this, I realized that Cande and Hardy would be an interesting enemies to lovers story. Again, not canon, but something I find fun ( hardcandyshipping lol)

Philomena most likely was on the boat that Asra and Shiv was on, coming back from traveling to visit family. She wasn't expecting Shiv to be there, and due to her powers being weakened, Shiv captured her in the Kuiki camp. Thankfully, she was saved by Asra. I think this was where she joins the group, since she's already heading in their direction anyway.

I can't get over how Asra and Garret are so vulnerable with each other. Like Garret is probably one of the few people that has held Asra's parasol. Have seen Asra cry. Shipping or not their relationship means so much to me fr fr.

Asra 🤝 Suraya: Rizz masters. No one expected Asra to be a confident flirt , but no one also expected them to carry a sword on them so.

Asra was interested in Amelia until they battled her. They were disappointed that she didn't give them the battle they had hoped, which definitely pissed Amelia off.

I think that's it??? There was a lot talked about hgvhvgvgvcg I might not have gotten everything.

[fangaminghell]

I can't think of a serious good question so uh

Which of your ocs would go see the Barbie movie?

All of them.

[fangaminghell]

Inspired by the favorite oc poll my server dud, I thought I'd do the same here!

Not including Nightingale and Sasha cause they are very new and aren't developed. Same for Zach, since while I have ideas, nothing yet, so he's more of a side character if anything. Also, feel free to give me a reason why you like the oc you picked so much! It can be a full essay or just "biting oc". Both are valid!!!

[fangaminghell]

Hmmmmm. Might give Mina the surname Saetang

Philomena "Mina" Saetang.

Honestly, I think I'm gonna go with the idea that Mina was pretty much a regular person until Cresselia blessed her as her patron of sorts. For now. I'm really waiting for what plot relevance Cresselia might have within the game, so who fucking knows. If not, then I can still find some way to integrate Philomena into the plot.

Speaking of which, so here's all the stuff about Philomena you need to know.

Trans woman

Has a loving twin brother

May or may not have powers of her own ( thanks to Cresselia)

Knows Lilith(deso) and considers her a friend. How and why? No clue.

Likes double battles.

Is a well averse traveler! Though most people wouldn't know just by the looks of her.

Dyed her hair blonde for fun. Her pink eyes may be a side effect of Cresselia's power ( still debating that).

Acts like an air head, kinda is sometimes, but is scarily perspective. Probably knows more than she's letting on. ( This causes her to rub some people the wrong way)

Honestly here to have a good time, and do whatever Cresselia tells her to do.

And that's all I can really think of right now! As always, will change if needed as the story continues. But yeah! Mina <3

[fangaminghell]

Just a refresher since it's pride month

Imani- Asexual Demi panromantic

Flynn: Lesbian

Arrow- Queer ( possibly of the ace/aro spectrum???? Maybe not???? Idk), trans( ftm)masc nonbinary

Leo- Gay

Suraya- Lesbian

Blair- Aroace, non binary.

Asra- Nonbinary, ???( Still deciding)

Cande- Bigender, Bisexual ( Bi for Bi!!!!!)

Philomena- Trans (MTF), Bi

The deso ocs ( the last three) are arguably the ones I'm least concrete about ( not their gender, their sexualities), lol.

[fangaminghell]

Okay talked about this on discord but another route I can take Philomena is that her family has always been connected with Cresselia, in comparison to Darkrai only picking random people to manipulate. Like their family has worshiped Cresselia in the past, and because of that, Cresselia blessed them/ swore loyalty to them and protected them. So of everyone else, they aren't falling victim to Darkrai's nightmares.

The way I imagine it going is that Mena got her powers when Darkrai actually started to bring people into The Nightmare. Her brown eyes turned pink, like it. The blonde hair was a stylistic choice, probably something before she got the powers ( or not idk). The only thing now was the sequence of events, cause I still want Mena to be an experienced traveler( possibly to train her skills). Chances are she was on that boat ride with Asra and co. She's fine all things considered, and she still has her pokemon on her.

As for her twin brother, Zach, he didn't inherit any of the powers from Cresselia, but I think he is pretty strong and still blessed by Cresselia.....or he's a really late bloomer. Either way he can't exactly fight the same way Mena can.

And yeah! More Philomena lore.

[fangaminghell]

Siblings who dab when they see each other. Aka the Saetang twins. You all know Philomena, so reintroducing Zachary, her twin brother! He generally goes by Zach.

How people mix them up when they were younger is a mystery. Mina naturally has brown hair and eyes while Zach has black hair + poliosis ( the white piece of his hair) and hazel eyes. But hey, if they weren't mixed up they wouldn't have switched names for a prank and if they haven't done that well....okay, they would have still figured out they were trans regardless but this was the funnier option lol.

[fangaminghell]

Philomena Saetang 💚

Minus the blonde hair dye and pink eyes lol. There are lots of details that this meiker doesn't have I'm not gonna stress about it.

Meiker

[fangaminghell]

Actually you know, originally I was gonna have Mina's twin brother be cis but honestly it would be funny if they were both trans and took each other's deadname. Even funnier if it was a complete accident like they switched names with each other one day as a prank to mess with people and it was all fun and games until later they went "wait a minute".

[fangaminghell]

Some heights ( for now)

Rejuv trio and Reborn Trio. Flynn smoll.

Asra is also smol. Look at the height difference between them and Cande goddamn. They're gonna put that parasol to good use, I swear. Also Philomena height <3

For fun, I did Richard and leo's future bfs. Taka is the tallest of all of them. Cain is talker with his boots on. Leo is sadly smol compared to them, so he gotta go on his tippy toes to give them kisses :( ( yes, including Richard but let's not think about him).

[fangaminghell]

If my ocs were just like. Normal. Like in a mainline game or something. Here's what I think they would be.

Imani- Doubling as a dragon type gym leader and a fairy type E4 member( thanks for the inspo Larry). The player would see her out and about at different towns, probably doing something, helping others. Might challenge the player to a friendly battle here and there.

Flynn- One of the players rivals. Very shy, and admittedly not the greatest battler. She lacks the self-confidence in herself to let herself really shine. Maybe the player can help her gain some confidence? Was encouraged to travel by Arrow and Imani.

Arrow- A traveler that seems close to Imani and Flynn. Isn't in the league, despite their strength. Will offer to ride the player to a previous designation if they are within the area. A semi traveling companion. Wants Imani to choose being a gym leader or an Elite 4 member out of concern for her health. They are very worried she's overworking herself with two demanding jobs....

Leo- Another rival of the player. We all know what his character arc is gonna be. He does struggle with constantly being compared to his sister, as well as his crippling self-loathing. Much like canon Leo, he wasn't always the greatest person, and that jerk part of him tends to seep out at times. Still has his cats :3

Suraya- Psychic type Elite 4 member. Most of the time the player would only hear about her from Leo. She's still the kind loving Suraya in canon, and still has some of the struggles that canon Suraya face. She does appear in the game before the elite 4 battle, probably with a touching moment between her and Leo.

Blair- A young, up and coming pokemon professor. Has a cold demeanor that xe are working on. The player gets their starter from xem and updates xem on their Pokedex. Despite xyr cold demeanor, xe often phone the player whenever xe are worried about their wellbeing. Turns out xe are really a softie under that cold look.

Asra- The Champion. Because of course they would be. Rumors spread about them being absolutely ruthless in battle, despite their calm demeanor. They never confirm or deny this, only suggesting people battle them to find out. Takes a liking to the player, had Imani give them updates on how they are progressing if the two meet up.

Cande: Friendly neighborhood gym leader :). Immediately takes the player under his wing when they reach her gym, postponing the gym battle to make sure the player has eaten and is well rested. The player gets to meet his other siblings, as well as see how her neighborhood seems to love her. Though there is no sign of his parents anywhere.....

Philomena: An enigma. The player sees and interacts with her occasionally. She doesn't seem to be affiliated with anyone, merely wandering around how she pleases. Despite her incredibly lax nature, she has a.... powerful aura to her.

So yeah. So far two gym leaders and 2 elite 4 members, with Asra as champion. If anyone else wanna join, feel free to!
