Candy, the Candymaker of Oddity

A young woman with a penchant for sweets. While also having a sweet tooth herself, she is renowned among the townsfolk for her skill with sugar. Despite the many compliments she receives, she is insecure of her skill, her appearance, and her place within Oddity. She spends her private time dressing up, dancing, and decorating her home with flowers and pretty things.

Character Line up for a few characters for Omena Lake, a rural solarpunky idea I have.

BUCK is the main character, a robot sent from the big city to help care for a food forest. He has a special interest in aquatic animals.

Jexa is a mechanic/inventor/robot doctor.

WIC is a robot who is stationary and likes to meditate.

Indigo is a ferry driver.

Maxatn is a forest ranger.

Layron is a doctor, married to Milaia, the town veterinarian.

Gaige is a librarian.

I have more characters in mind for this concept as well, but I have yet to draw this. More robots included. :)

The currency of Oddity is teeth based (mostly)! It's like this:

1 molar is the base amount

1 incisor = 2 molars

1 canine = 4 molars, 2 incisors

1 wisdom tooth = 4 canines, 16 molars, 8 incisors

1 half mouth note (paper) = 24 molar value, 16 teeth total (doesn’t include wisdom teeth)

1 mouth note (paper) = 48 molar value, 32 teeth total (doesn’t include wisdom teeth)

Cavities in teeth deduct 1 molar.*

----------A molar with cavities has no value

Silver fillings add 1 molar.*

Gold fillings add 2 molars.*

----------*doesn’t apply to paper notes

1 eye = 4 mouth notes (very rare to come across)

hopefully I did my math right. Anyway, I want to design some paper notes with teeth on them someday, that just sounds fun.

Ki

A strange little mousething that lives in the walls of a library and is suspicious of all the big folk.

(Check out my ko-fi! I have a shop and exclusive perks for supporters! https://ko-fi.com/bethdehart )

[beefbuilding]

Ki is a tiny creature who steers clear of the big folk. She appeared in the outskirts of Oddity one day, unsure of her past and even more uncertain of her future. She made her way into the town, avoiding the big folk, until she found a quiet little nook in the walls of the library. She's unsure about staying here, but appreciates that no one seems to leave any traps out for her, or pay her much mind if they do happen to see her. She is a resourceful individual, and is trying to teach herself to read by eavesdropping at the schoolhouse nearby. She's not sure about the Librarian, Bianca, but figures that since she doesn't have eyes or a mouth, she's probably okay. The Crawlies don't bother her for the most part, though she's had to fight them off from stealing her things on a few occasions (it's not their fault– they see things that might be trash, they want to Collect).

Feel free to ask about her!

Delmer, Apothecary of Oddity

A reserved but reassuring presence in the small town of Oddity, Delmer is the one most folks turn to for medical care– their only other option is a questionable surgeon with far too many blood-soaked clothes for comfort. Delmer likes to spend his free time in nature, cataloguing foraging spots, as well as listening to music and dancing (when no one's looking, that is). He's a bit old fashioned when it comes to technology, but has a good reputation for his healing tinctures and tonics and healing arts in general. Despite his medical skill, he can have self doubts, especially when something doesn't go how he had planned. Still, he's a well-liked and respected member of the Oddity community, and loves the little town he resides in.

Feel free to ask questions about him!

The Town of Oddity: Intro

Oddity is a small, somewhat spooky town in a vast forest. Its residents are all a bit strange or creepy, to some degree or other, but the town is a cozy, tight-knit community. It was founded centuries ago by The Mayor, for unknown reasons, but the town has become a bastion for those too monstrous to reside in decent society. Often people will find themselves appearing on the outskirts in search of... something. And just as often, they will find it in Oddity. The atmosphere is almost victorian in nature, though there is electricity in most places, and the odd anachronistic item or action here or there.

I use this town as a place to keep my more body-horror heavy characters, because I like to imagine them as being people just like anyone else, in need of community and a place to belong. I have no real plan to write any sort of story yet, but I do have some ideas for some short snippets, art, and maybe a kind of in-world town newsletter that would be fun to write and publish someday. (No real plot in mind though.)

Questions are welcome! I'm probably going to be posting some of my art of the characters here too, so be looking out for that.
