your bones. hand em' over.

they/them | 943 trine | Lord Of The Crystal ((ask/rp/etc blog for @tickfleato's TDC fancharacters. includes skekPan the Eccentric, urTik the Naturalist, skekPan's gelfling assistant, Areet, and sometimes even the resident potatoes (Ebya & Boro). probably a mistake. i promise i'm gonna attach a theme someday))

ooc update

so right now i just need to set up info pages (and then indefinitely put off having a non default theme), but my hands are fucked up and i need to get like, a wrist brace or something ‘cause i can’t draw and i shouldn’t be typing as much as i am... just pretend i am making lots of hilarious posts for u, while pretending to be fictional characters

thanks for ur patience ;w;

Vel would never set foot in the Eccentric’s tower but it’s still fun to imagine.

Though, I could see her and Areet knowing each other. They probably stole from her and she kicked their ass, or they could’ve even grown up together in the same orphanage (where Vel would’ve also kicked their ass), idk.

skekPan and Areet were created by @tickfleato

[tickfleato]

HOOGH  !!! THANK YOU !!!! IM PUTTIN ALL THIS ART IN A PILE & SLEEPING ON IT!! 

areets ass is supremely kickable theyre a little murdernerd. skekpan just has an existential crisis

some OOC stuff

1) i SWEAR i’ll get a proper theme up this week, & the intro post will go up... sometime soon, since i’ve already written it

2) you can ask stuff directly to characters for IC answers or to me for stuff about them!! i love talking abt and developing these guys so go wild. 

3) i’m also gonna reblog relevant art here (so, anything w/ my ocs pretty much gjlkjl) because Why Not, if you scroll down there’s a bunch already, tagged “:)” the older stuff is a bit inaccurate because skekMal tricked me into thinking skeksis are a lot bigger than they are... the eccentric is about 130% gelfling height because they’re Small

4) CHECK OUT THE LORE! any lore stuff i post here will be tagged “the juice”

5) may have cameos from other people’s OCs or canon characters! stay tuned!!

6) they have a computer because it’s funny. the “present” for my ocs is like.... kind of vaguely hovering somewhere between 10-50 trine before the AOR events, although for whatever purposes i can wiggle it around a bit more than that. by the time the movie events start they’re probably all dead :(

GREMLIN FIGHT GREMLIN FIGHT

(skekpan is mine, skeknat & skekmaht are @dunstonchecksoutforgood‘s)

[tickfleato]

how does skekPan feel about the other skeksis? Who are they closest to?

ooooo that’s a good question… their general view of the others is as like. entertainment. they like to creep on people on purpose because it’s funny. they’re genuinely really interested in stuff skekTek does and bother him on purpose slightly less, but bother him a lot just the same because every time they’re at the castle they get in the way CONSTANTLY trying to help or look at what he’s doing. i think he might’ve actually helped a bit with the Hubris Incident, although he definitely didn’t know their final plans with it (plug self into thing that’s connected to the crystal. acquire juice. get young again), and other than the Juice he’s the reason that they’re not dead. the uhh. helping them be not dead. was definitely more out of scientific interest than personal liking though because like…. they’re obnoxious jlkgjlk

they also like to follow around skekMal and try and get bones from him when they’re out (which isn’t all that much anymore). he does not appreciate this in the least.

i haven’t thought a lot abt the others! i think there’s just a lot of “you don’t like me and i know it and i’m gonna poke you until you make me stop” mostly, they do NOT mess with skekSo though. they think he’s very cool (goth) and also would LIKE to antagonize him about death and stuff but know better, BARELY.

[tickfleato]

Has skekPan ever run into their urru?

they have not, although they’ve gotten close-ish, since urTik wanders all over the place! if they did they’d get a stern lecture which is like, downright violent by urRu standards. 

skekPan’s kind of neutral on the whole concept, they haven’t really thought about the fact that their urRu might have a…. grudge…. and really just haven’t thought about it at all. neither knows specifically who the other is but urTik is VERY aware of skekPan’s general activities because, y’know,

[tickfleato]

how does skekPan feel about all their little assistants? Are they friends, maybe?

anon i fucking love you for sending all these. anyway

skekPan’s concepts are like… areet is a person but not a skeksis person and is very helpful and like, a reasonable amount of creepy… ebya is the loud potato that called them tall once and gets the mail so that’s good, and boro is the potato that keeps sleeping in the way of stuff but he’s easy to move so they don’t mind all that much. 

definitely not friends, bc they don’t really consider them like. peers in any sort of way. but they DO like areet, definitely more than the last gelfling that worked for them (who lives on in several meatbot minions…)

they’ve also known ebya & boro for maybe 30 trine and areet for fewer than 10, and that is NOT very much time in their mind due to being like. nearly 1000.

[tickfleato]

how did skekPan end up hiring Areet? I'm curious about, like, how they met

so i haven’t got the full idea of that down, but areet sought them out! they got uhhh.  well, they “ran away” aka got Kicked Out of their home village for unsavory habits, suspicious activities, Theft™, creepiness, etc and was like alright. well. there’s this story that there’s a creeeepy rogue skeksis that lives off in that tower in the woods who does Mad Science! and i am very interested in that!

they also thought that getting the eccentric’s good graces could get them closer to the castle… however, it turns out that no one likes that little gremlin and they care even less for their servants.

they stuck around though! they like messing around with fucked up frankenbeasts and they’ve made some good additions to the way stuff is run around the Junk Mansion, and they’re still holding out on finding that Secret Of Immortality™
