2, 31, and 47 for Asmar 👀
Thanks for the ask, Kem <3 oh you got me talking about Asmar's childhood and family
2. How does your OC remember their childhood? Is this an accurate reflection of what their childhood was actually like?
Asmar remembers the community and almost never being alone. Dinners around the fire, songs and tales to pass the time, the whole clan keeping an eye on him and Jahan. The lessons everyone had for them, the hard work too, as soon as he was old enough to hold a tool and do his part. He remembers the weapons he was taught. He remembers the day he got his kohl on for the first time – a rite of passage once he could hold his real first blade right. He felt like a real warrior. A real 8 years old warrior. He remembers the trouble he got himself and his brother in. He remembers the warm patience of his father, and the way his mother always had just the word to convince people to do things her way. He takes after both, in warmth (but not the patience) and in stubborn combativeness.
With time the faces blurred, and the memory turned sensory. The endless sands, the sounds of animals, the coarseness of brightly patterned blankets, the burn of spices on the tongue, the heat of the sun and the cold of the desert nights, the melodies he hums absentmindedly.
He is so damn proud of being Sathiric, and he carries it with him throughout his whole life. He is a bit afraid his memories do not hold up to real life once he comes back, many years after he left. They do.
31. Are there any places or people your OC is avoiding?
He avoids coming back to see his family for a while. He always felt the odd one out, and not even because of being a magianis (this part he never really had a problem with). But he has always been a bit... much, compared to them. Too volatile, too emotional, too restless. And with all the time spent apart, he was not sure if the gap separating them at this point could be crossed. He loves his homeland with his whole heart, he loves his family, but it takes him a while to face them again.
He learns that his mother is actually pretty short. And that his brother grew up to be more handsome than him. He is indignant about it, of course.
47. If your OC had to pick a new identity and skip town, what would they come up with? Where would they go?
Oh, he does have to skip town more than once, but its usually just going to the next place over where people don't yet know his face.
Thing is, Asmar is bad at lying, so forging a fake identity is not really his forte. He would not advertise being a wayfarer if he had to lay down low. Realistically, pretending to be a regular mercenary would be the best he could pull off. Or he could play a traveling merchant – he is versed enough in that thanks to his mom teaching him the ropes (he was supposed to help her with the clan trading routes had he not become a wayfarer). Harder to pull off without having the goods, but he can negotiate a contract or two on goods delivery convincingly enough
13, 16 and 20 for Asmar?
Thanks for the ask, Cidre! <3 Two of these questions are juicy for Asmar!
13. What is something your OC does (to others) that they would not like if others did to them? Are they aware that they do this?
OH, Asmar is a hypocrite when it comes to control and respect.
In work and tense situations Asmar wrestles control into his own hands immediately. He knows best, obviously, and is making it happen right now without consulting anyone. The higher the stakes, the less he is feeling in control — the stronger his grip. Someone tries to do their own thing, or worse, make him do it their way — he is absolutely pissed off. They have the right to decide, in theory. They are just deciding wrong, and he is about to fix that. He respects autonomy in principle, and he respects his own autonomy in absolute.
Is he aware? No <3 None of this is hypocrisy in his mind. Its excellent situational reasoning and superior competence, that's what it is. Completely different story.
(This is a huge contrast to when the stakes are low to zero. He is not a control freak by default. He is a control freak when something matters, and when it doesn't, he turns into the most unbothered man)
Other hypocritical stances of his:
He will push other's boundaries and will not allow pushing his own. In his world, boundaries have to be fought for, and he attacks first.
He is possessive, but for someone to be possessive over him, they have to earn it first.
He is quick to show his disrespect when it is deserved, but nobody gets to disrespect him or his.
His self-sacrificial protection is also a form of control. He does not let others do the same for him.
16. Is there anyone your OC has lost contact with? What happened?
His family is probably the most natural answer. Good people. They love him, he loves them, but he was always burning just a bit too hot to be seen and met in the full intensity of it. They exchanged letters after he left for the Spire, as regularly as one can manage with a nomadic clan that's always on the move. Then less regularly. Then he went out into the world, and "less regularly" became "not at all".
He will come back to Sathir to find them again, some years down the road. He will not stay for long, but the knot in his chest will loosen. They will exchange letters sometimes.
20. How quick is your OC to shift blame? Do they own up to their mistakes, or are they prone to start pointing fingers at others?
He does not shift blame in a calculated way. But he genuinely often lacks self-awareness to register when he was in the wrong, or when he might have been.
If he is threatened and uncomfortable, he routes it through anger, and it can come through as blaming others as his initial emotional reaction.
When he made a factual, objective mistake, he owns it readily and easily. His ego is not precious about it.
When he is wrong about something emotional, personal, subjective, he is unlikely to see it himself, but can be walked through it by someone trusted, and might change his mind and own it, not through apology, but through behavior.
Or — depending on where it falls on his morality scale — he might as well keep insisting he did nothing wrong. Not his fucking fault.

my piece for Paper Planes through Time, themed around time travel/butterfly effect/for want of a nail, for Kodomo no Hi (Children's Day)! thank you for having me!
Tay leaves him to bleed the fuck out at this point
#taelyn sero and Other Things That Ruined My Life: An Autobiography by iredara
Strangling him with our red string of fate
An abandoned child grows too big and too strong for the house that raises them. They are other and are treated as such. The tension builds until the breaking point is reached and they become...[what they were made] [what they have always been].
This 12-page comic took far longer than it ever should have but here we finally are: My OC Vespertine's devastating backstory -- and honestly the core thesis of the entire character.
I've never really poured this much time into an OC project before so...this feels very vulnerable??? (pls be nice lol). The thumbs were created in 2024, and then the comic was finished only last month. In a perfect world I would make a webcomic or smth out of this but who knows ;v;
If you don't know who Vesper is and want to see some more there are bits and pieces scattered about under the below tag #story: Among Wolves and I always hope to share more about them...
Do not separate them ~~you'll regret it anyway~~
Best to give me your loyalty 'Cause I'm taking the world, you'll see They'll be calling me, calling me They'll be calling me royalty
Legends never die When the world is callin' you Can you hear them screaming out your name?
I'm a heat stroke And you can't touch me 'Cause you know I can burn ya If you get too close

Got tagged by @redwayfarers and @iredara ❤ And I have nothing to show at the moment (shame 😔) but I guess this was done not too long ago, and this fictional man has been draping himself all over my mind recently...
Tagging @avisdotjpg and @glitchy-npc 👀
