feeling like rambling about my BB OCs...
Even though Phoenix started out as a Kelby doppelganger, I think he had become his own person, which I guess is cool but
he's definitely projecting my own loneliness and believing nobody will stay and choose him(as friends or partners)
his relationship with Derek Kingsfield (Jock Studio AU) is just full of longing
like he thinks Derek deserve someone better than him
even if he chose Phoenix despite everything
so in his route for the inspired game, I think Phoenix is dealing with the belief that everyone will leave him behind and that he hurts everyone with his fire
So he'd rather be alone but also starved for connection
I love and hate this firebird/silly
Derek exist because of Umamusume like this game be making us be interested in the topic of horse racing
So he's the jockey of a fierce stallion he named Ares because why not
I described Derek as scrawny in my notes
I think his route is about overcoming grief
the transformation is honestly kinda painful, like cmon, my man is already struggling, why did he had to turn into a horse
so if you didn't know, I plan on making a BB fancomic (or at least making drawings around the concept) centering around Kelby's swim side
So Kelby's fanon grandfather was a former swimmer and swim coach
And he founded the Jenkins Swim Team consisted of Kelby, Neville and two characters I'm still developing
Neville was inspired by Sousuke Yamazaki from Free (whale shark motif and stuffs)
he swims backstroke while Kelby swims free
I would describe Neville as someone who's strategic, basically the logical one
Like he takes swimming seriously and looks up to Coach Tobias
So when the club disbanded, he understood why but it didn't change that he was upset that Tobias will no longer coach them
his rivalry with Kelby mostly stems from feeling a little jealous that Kelby is Tobias's grandson and thus he wanted the validation I guess?
his route of getting turned into a whale shark is gonna be something
he definitely a lot friendlier as an adult hahhaha
not much to say but I guess I can talk about his possible past
So Jamil and his older brother (Zubair) joined the local troupe in performing arts like dancing and stuffs
That's where he met Farhan and his sister which he had a crush on
But alas Zubair married her and Farhan becomes their brother in-law
Jamil is the complete opposite of proud like he's meek
like on stage he'd be laughing and boasting but off stage he's just embarrassed and flustered when people tease and genuinely compliments him
so he's basically a softie hahaha
I do think he struggles with self worth like if do people like him for real or do they merely tolerated him
So I think Farhan joined the troupe a little late than his sister so by the time he's in, he's already Jamil's brother-in-law
So the gossip that spread around the troupe was that they saw Farhan being friendly to his sister and they just you know, spread misinformation >:(
the members had no idea that Farhan was her brother, like the only who knew is Jamil and of course Zubair
but this just made Farhan disappointed that people would eat rumours without even investigating the truth
but he kinda doesn't care if people thinks he's shady or weird
aside from dancing and performing, he's also a fisherman and flutist
his transformation only reinforced that people see him as a monster, someone untrustworthy
his backstory used to be that he was a lady killer in village and for tainting one of the people there, he was chased away and exiled
WHICH was a RUMOUR. And yet Farhan doesn't try to deny or confirm it.
but when it comes to the MC, he grew very protective of them like he won't hesitate to throw hands and beat people up if anyone dared to harm them
I guess Farhan's the broody, dark humoured one of the trio
His story a mess ngl, and I don't really know if I like the direction it's going
might edit the points later if it's complete BS cuz I wrote this while working hahaha
