”tch, Why are we debating about this?”

*The grumpy werewolf woman slammed her mug of ale onto the counter*

“We clearly have the power to overwhelm them”

[scaredfurryfire]

[Paprika]: it’s not just about power, Paula

The short deerfolk, quivering at the sight of the werewolf’s tense expression*

[Paprika]: We’ll hurt someone…our strength is too much to handle.

[dancin-fo-gold]

“But think about it this way; we tell them…to…get the hell outta there,” dragonborn with golden scales hastily and thoughtlessly suggested.

[livin-in-the-blizzard]

”You serious?”

*Paula turned to the dragonborn, burrowing her eyebrows at her audacity*

“Tell the hostages…to just leave?”

*She was beginning to snarl*

[dancin-fo-gold]

”Ok, plan B.” The dragonborn commented as she faced the grumpier werewolf.

“We lure them outta their cave and then slam ‘em, The dragonborn slowly waves one of her hands before slapping her fist onto an open palm.

[scaredfurryfire]

[Paprika]: Acela, wha- how…how do we lure them out?

[The deerfolk, still fearful of the potential bloodshed, faces the dragonborn with worry.]

[Paprika]: How do we…keep them from hurting…the hostages?

[livin-in-the-blizzard]

*Paula raises her great-axe*

“We scare them”

*She immediately slams the pummel onto the ground*

[dancin-fo-gold]

[Both the dragonborn and the deerfolk flinched from the noise.]

”B r u h,” She exclaimed, ”give us a warning next time.”

“Also, the hell do you mean, ‘scare them?’ They’ll just retreat deeper in the building.”

character roster

Cuz Im thinking about this

The Combo Gal: Acela Valani

Roleplay blog about said oc: @dancin-fo-gold

[Lizard-Folk]

Nicknames: The Dancin Dagger, The Happy Feet Fighter, The Fancy Showrunner

Acela is a Lizard folk girl who dances and plays music to gain popularity of the towns she visits. Her dancing skills translates into impressive footwork to dodge attacks and to rush the enemy with multiple strikes.

Furthermore, Acela’s passion and drive to stand out as the best dancer allowed her to develop a variety of different strikes to confuse the enemy and keep them on their toes. Though, Acela is very prideful to the extent that she will challenge her critics to a competition; be it a dance battle or a battle of the bands to determine who is the best performer. However, Acela also engage in petty squabbles where she bickers with strangers for hours. Nevertheless, she cares deeply about her performances and her reputation, so she would rather defend herself than to bear the insults.

So for her gameplay mechanics, her attack buttons branch out into different attack patterns to allow the player to combine button mashing and complex patterns. (Inspired by the Nintendo DS game: Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2) The thing about her attack kit is that she would have less input lag than the average character in the roster. Though, giving her an unfair advantage would definitely lead to trouble. Thus she’ll need a critical disadvantage.

As a character who can strike the most within a short moment, her attacks are among the weakest. As in smacking peeps with a stick type of damage. Her weapons include sabers, rapiers, and daggers, where they deal less damage than the other weapons, such as Paula’s Greataxe, Lydia’s spear & halberd, and so on.

Although, Acela is somewhat tough, as having scales that require more force to break through is enough to protect her…but not from Paula.

The Tank: Paula Dendafter

Roleplay blog about said oc: @somethin-somethin-wolfgirl

[Wolf-folk] Nicknames: The Bumblin’ Brute

Paula is a beefy, muscular wolf-folk girl whou fights opponents Paula’s brute strength is more than enough to break bones, wood, and occasionally stone or metal. Her reputation for crushing rocks, breaking through walls and overall intimidating enemies with her expressions alone has led enemies to pray that they don’t run into her. Although, Paula’s absolute clumsiness has also led to trouble and embarrassment, with poor Paula getting angrier from the embarrassing moments. However, she has learned how to stand her ground against people who think they have a right to talk shit about her without having to throw hands. Plus, if a target tries striking her using a weapon, her brute strength & tough body allows her to trap them to then beat the shit outta them. As such, her gameplay mechanic includes trapping a character once they strike her with a decent or strong attack before she responds with a stronger axe strike. Of course, she takes damage. (Inspired by Stark from Freiren’s Beyond Journeys End.)

As a clumsy character with strength to strength to spare, Paula’s moveset is simple. A little too simple. But can she’s not restricted to fighting with only one weapon. She also has a handful of martial arts (boxing, kick boxing, wrestling).

Paula is a tough character to defeat, even with strong attacks to break her guard. Although, her speed is the only disadvantage to her kit.

speaking of which.

The DPS: Lydia Katheere

Roleplay blog about said oc: @mountaingoit

[Satyr with dragon biology] Nicknames: That Bitch with a Costume, The Mountain Menace, The Terrible Tourist Attraction

Lydia is a speedy satyr girl, she can hunt down enemies, run past army defenses, and leap across long distances. Perfect for one-upping tourists. As such, she is the main recon specialist in discovering enemy tactics, where she runs around the field dodging enemy fire and taunts them along the way. (Like Scout from Team Fortress 2). Sometimes, she gets into trouble for picking fights with different people due to being a douchebag. Despite, she does realize when she’s in the wrong and will back off.

She wields a crystal spear for three major reasons; - balancing practice: to keep her fighting style and recon skills in tip-top shape - hiking sessions: to carry her weight over long distances - battle: to fight the enemy and disarm them to ensure that they won’t cause trouble (might need to revise this part later)

As such, her game mechanics include parkour techniques for platforming such as, sliding, wall-riding, wall-jumping, somersaults, and climbing. Other characters do have parkour capabilities, Acela can perform different somersault routines, while Paula has more stamina for climbing large mountains. But only Lydia can combine the dexterity of somersaults and the strength to traverse perilous terrains in order to explore different regions. By default, Lydia is faster than both characters, where her attacks can deal immense damage. But she is vulnerable to Paula’s constitution trap and will sometimes have to abandon her weapon.

Lydia is pretty fast, faster than the characters in this roster…however how does she fare against magic? (Ok, she has a few magic capabilities but not to the extent of this character)

The Glass Cannon: Paprika Whitterstone

Roleplay blog about said oc: @scaredfurryfire [Deer-folk with ???? Blood]

Nicknames: the Sinister Cinder, the Unfortunate Soul, the one who walks with no end

Paprika is a deerfolk girl who has lived for centuries, often to the detriment of her mental health. It doesn’t help that bounty hunters are constantly after her, leaving her no time to relax. No one in society knows where she came from, but in their eyes, her most notorious crimes include, burning down a brothel during her younger years and releasing a explosive outburst that charred an angry mob into the town square. [I’m borrowing parts of Vash’s situation with bounty hunters to write her as a grey individual.] Frightful and filled with self-hatred, she wanders the region to avoid contact with society, where the sheer loneliness eats away at her sanity. As far as she knows, she’ll never be redeemed, and that, in by itself, is a soul-crushing realization. Paprika’s main magical ability is fire, a whole lot of fire. She has the capability to casually blast humongous waves of fire, but she chooses not to. Instead, she tries hard to learn how to heal with her nearly nonexistent nature magic. It never occurs to her that her flames have incredible healing qualities. However, she has yet to encounter someone who trusts her with such regard to encourage her to even begin a feat.

Paprika’s main mechanic is…troubling. she does stealth/survival but if she’s pushed to a limit, she might rage. Paprika can blast fire at targets but often doesn’t want to. So, she resorts to running and hiding. But whenever a bounty hunter gets a hold of a hostage (sometimes families and friends), she’ll drop everything and give herself up in order to stop them from hurting people.

However, bounty hunters are hardly merciful. Most times they knock her out (might be infuriating to see someone powerful get knocked out). Then they rob the hostages anyways. Other times, hostages and bounty hunters further escalate the situation, where the person trying to defend Paprika becomes severely injured. Her rage starts to build up and her powers begins to flare. In cases that a close friend is assaulted, she becomes dead set on revenge where she burns down hideouts, melts weapons, and scare ever loving shit outta bounty hunters. Of course, it takes a special kind of evil to push her to kill. (i decided to do a mix of Vash from Trigun and Gohan from Dragon Ball Z)

oh right, uhm…Paprika’s gameplay will generally be a story plot with choices.

But she may have a section where she blasts enemies with fire.

The Tactician: Cheyene Kastravo

no roleplay blog yet

[Deer-folk with ????? Blood]

Code-Name: Nebulus A mysterious deer-folk figure with demonic features is living among the common folk in secret. She talks with people everyday, but not one person can recall a single detail about her background. Including her birthday.

Cheyene’s gameplay features stealth mechanics, a timer, and outfit selection to either match the occasion or wear as a cosmetic. Some outfits can be purchased. Most of them add ammunition space to reload the weapons.

She has proficiencies with firearms, martial arts, rope, and a grappling hook.

The bullets are limited, so the player has to think carefully about which to use firearm to use. Her office has a small set of firearms to choose from, including bullets

But that’s one of the few places that she can get bullets, including firearm shops. (I might need to research more on this).

And thats it

One of my oldest ocs in irl existence

REDRAWN (somewhat)

…Kailunuri…

Kai-Ler-noo-ree

Four goddamn syllables - ???

I used to draw this oc along with Paprika during my anime phase.

From a notebook to a very small sketchbook to a Galaxy Note tablet that broke a lot time ago.

Albeit, most of the drawings are lost.

(Note: I only had like three or so in the tablet).

Fun Fact: about Paprika, she may or may not have gone by “Pepper” at some point. Perhaps she had always gone by “Pepper until some time in 2021 or 2022.

There’s a big reason why I mentioned her name.

Over the years, I’ve had ocs that I’ve drawn repeatedly, oftentimes changing their designs as my skills improved, sometimes their names change.

But with many of my ocs, only a few of them had remained similar to their first design.

[dancin-fo-gold]

Note: An addition

To the left is lineart of one of the earliest dancer outfits that I’ve designed.

To the right is a drawing of an updated version as of 2020-2021 or 2022,

I’ve changed the breastplate, the double-slit maxi skirt (I’m a sucker for those), replaced the arm gloves, and changed the decorations.

I even gave her heels.

Here’s another picture:

Left: Acela Valani

Right: Nyla Berlin

For design reasons, I’ve since left it behind for one relentless question:

How does she even put it on??

For that, we need to look to back to the original-ish design

Warning: 18+ image

Acela “Teases the viewer”

(I was incredibly horny).

*ahem*

The one thing that bothered me was the maxi skirt itself; it was pretty flimsy looking, it was held up by two giant gemstones, and it very much got in the way of the long tail.

As someone who began to the question the practicality of the outfit design, the question and the demonstration confused the hell outta me.

How could Acela wear it?

how would a cosplayer be able to wear it??

What would even hold it together???

I’ve had a few solutions over the years…

—

1. Belt bucket gemstone…

I’ve tried designing a belt buckle and realized that I wasn’t an engineer. Plus, my drawing skills weren’t yet at the level that I currently am.

—

2. Stretchy belt like boxers and briefs.

It was too technologically advanced at the time but I presumably didn’t care and continued drawing the character where I gave her a tail flap.

—

3. Belt buckle again

I’ve had a point where I decided to give Acela her second outfit from horniness, which eventually became the present day red outfit that I’ve colored/animated with care.

I’ve went super simple with the design, where I changed a lot of her appearance but occasionally the question returned to bug me.

Both of the outfits had stretchy fabric belts.

4. Final design

At some point, I just removed the belts entirely and gave her some fabric tabs to tie into knots behind her. There was a hole for her tail and the knot would keep the fabric from falling.

So far, it’s one of the two solutions that I’ve had for double-slit maxi skirts for ocs with tails.
