Guys I KNOWWW nobody wants to see my DC oc but like hear ME OUTT. You know how Damian goes to school I was like why don't I make a classmate oc that reluctantly teams up with Robin to solve magic based cases in Gotham. Timeline wise this would probably happen after superboy is aged up, mainly because there is a lot potential around this idea.
Damian knows loss is hard, and he has dealt with a great deal of it, primarily in the aspect of death this is something his League of Assassins past will never let him escape. And has come to accept this. Mentally, he believes he is far stronger than most people his age, but he's still a kid and he's got this profound sense loneliness is outside of his vigilante activities and family. He has seen death, caused death, and hell he has even been dead. However, one of the most challenging types of loss is when you know someone close to you is still out there, but they have simply moved on without you. It isn't Jon's fault; or his really it just happens. They aren't even out of contact, but their different ages now demand different levels of responsibility, and more often than not they are both occupied.
So I wanted to have both these characters (Damian and Harmony the oc) have different versions of loss and different ways of understanding what that means.
Here's some info on Harmony:
- Her full name is Harmony Gale and she is Aboriginal.
Outside of Australia she would be called Biracial because her father is Scottish, and her Mother is Aboriginal. But due to historical reasons Aboriginal people simply refer to themselves as Aboriginal because of the derogative terms that were used in the past to describe what DNA amounts Aboriginal have.
Her vigilante name Corella is based on the native Australian Bird the little corella (other names for this bird include the bloody corella) which refers to the pink markings found on the face between the eye and the beak. (Imma have to change the goggles to be red now just ignore the white Imao) These birds are often known for their social flocking behaviour and are often found in large groups like in the thousands, and they often fly with other birds as well including galahs, sulphur-crested cockatoos and red-tailed black cockatoos. Also these birds are known for showing off too and being noisy.
She comes from a long line of spiritual practitioners known as healers within their community, individuals who connect with the ancestors and the land.
Harmony, however, is connected differently. She is a storyteller, whic is rare as these abilities usually manifest in elders who have matured into their magic.
Create constructs from her imagination, daydreams, or stories she memorizes or invents, often those associated with life lessons.
Hear the land she is on, which is why she wears headphones to fine-tune this ability. This acts as an early-warning system, a people-GPS, and a general location marker.
Heal people by enchanting certain foods.
Can see spirits of course but only when they have allow her to see them.
Her family's ace magical ability, which sets them apart, is the power to gain memories from songlines. This allows her to perceive events that have recently happened or that hold the strongest emotional resonance in a place. It is a form of psychic echo-location, triggered by touch and focused through the stories sung into the land itself.
I definitely will expand on why she is in Gotham (probably) Imao. Also just wanted an excuse to draw Damian and backgrounds but mainly Robin Damian. Also pretty sure Damian has some magic knowledge too so it’s definitely gonna be interesting to explore if I do anything with this.
Also the above information could slightly be out of character I’m still new to the comics and this fandom in general!!!
