I'd love to know the lore behind your OC. Tell me everything about them!
OMG REALLY?? THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY YOOO
So here goes my favourite boy! Quilliam <3
trans and he/him
Inspired by the secretary bird, he is a rather stylish avian. If you'd like to see art of him, check out my tag #quilliam!
Born on a pirate ship with his dad as the captain, he spent most of his early years on the sea. The thing is... he wasn't the son his dad wanted, so he got treated like trash. Most of the crew joined in, bullying him left and right for being weak and a burden.
One night, during a heavy storm, he grew tired of it all. While everyone was busy rolling up the sails, he took the helm and turned the ship towards land. When the captain caught on, it was too late. The waves sent them crashing against rocks.
As far as Quilliam was aware, everyone except him died that night. But he didn't look back - he changed his name to Quilliam (he was called something else before then) and set out to find his new home.
It took him 6 months to find a civilisation, during which he almost died because he wasn't used to life on land. But at last, he reached the lands of Oracle where he'd settle down in a cozy kingdom called Arcadia.
On his first day, he met a small goblin, Sharx, who showed him around. The two would often hang out after, slowly becoming close friends.
For the first time in his life, Quilliam felt... at home.
But nothing lasts forever, does it?
One unlucky day when he was out exploring, his friend Sharx got captured by a group of local evil-doers known as the Corrupted. They tortured him for info, and then killed him.
When Quilliam found out days later, he was desolated, completely overcome with grief and anger. He blamed his death on himself. "What I was there, I could have saved him." Unable to cope with the loss, he gave in to drinking, brewing his own rum in his basement as to avoid talking to others. He completely isolated himself for months.
But someone wouldn't let him rot away all alone. Krane, one of Sharx's friends, crashed by his place oftentimes and forced him to shower and to go out in the sun. Quilliam HATED him at first, finding him annoying + being afraid to get attached to anyone again, but eventually he softened and grew to like the guy. He never really stopped drinking, but at least he wasn't actively dying and actually got to socialise. So as time went on, he'd make a bit more friends and get better, despite everything.
Now here is where it gets a bit messy because I used him to roleplay on a Minecraft server and I found out I REALLY enjoy dark roleplays xD
So at some point one of said friends got possessed by a spirit of an evil queen, and while trying to "pretend to join her to gain info" he accidentally got into a situationship with her. Long story short she unearthed some dark stuff from inside of him and praised him for it and this dumbass fell for it and let himself get corrupted. And then she got attached too. Beautiful mess xD They were so violent and beautiful
But as it goes with evil possessive spirits, it woudln't last long either. His other friends managed to find a way to get rid of her, got rid of her, and he cried like a baby. And then turned into a criminal about it, naturally. Gotta finish what she started yknow yknow
There was also this other crazed woman that used her magic to mind control people but that one is wayyy too long for this xD in short he became even more violent and started torturing people (mainly the mind controlling woman, but there were others). And then he killed her, obviously <3
And then there was bunch of other stuff but I don't really take it as canon cuz most of it was written and played out simply for the sake of getting to roleplay torture rp LMAO I might have issues....
BUT if you'd like a more detailed reading, including these messy parts, plus his personality, friendships, quotes and trivia, here's a "wiki article" I made of him while in the server
To do: Update arts and references, add screenshots and art to text, update and add characters in relationships Quilliam is an Avian, in appe
Thanks for the ask!!!! I was having ton of fun yapping about him, I love this stinky bird
