“I tend to think trouble and I have a...complicated relationship.”
Dimension-traveling Indie-OC ask/RP blog! (icon-less; pardon the boring-looking post!)
18+, but SFW
Open to interactions, inbox or otherwise! Message me if you want to plot over Discord!

how can i help you … write with my oc?
sometimes, it can be hard to get engagement as an oc writer, but it can be equally hard to explain what would help you engage with an oc writer! this meme is meant for oc writers who might like some ideas on how to help their followers engage with them, as well as provide a guided list of potential things that may help those looking to write with their mutuals' ocs!
📖 : more information about their backstory or lore!
👥 : more information about how they interact or engage with the people around them!
🌐 : more information about how they interact with the location/world around them!
🔗 : links for where to find more information you may have already posted about them!
🗣 : i'd like to first plot out how our characters could interact!
🤝 : i think our ideas or lore may not mesh or match, and would like to discuss how we can meet in the middle!
📝 : i'd love to hear potential interactions or plot hooks you're interested in for your oc(s), so i can use those as a jumping off point!
❔️: other (please specify what would help you best!)
it can be difficult interacting with others, both as an oc writer and as someone looking to engage with another's ocs, but it doesn't have to be—sometimes we just need a little help!
Maria frowned, tapping a pen to her chin as she considered the list in front of her. "I can't help but feel like Christmas is going to be harder this year...."
(cont from here; @save-slot-a)
Maria's head popped back up through the glowing blue portal in the floor -- apparently, she'd heard Crowley's shout before she could even close the connection. "If you want the energy signature to add to your defenses, I'm willing to give it. My problem is I don't have full control over where these things show up -- it's like the multiverse has natural ley lines I have to follow or something."
She shrugged, smile lopsided and sheepish. "I usually hope to get someone's front porch, if I'm lucky."
Maria has appeared! What do you do?
Act cool
Woohoo
Grope
Kill
"Excuse me?" The disgruntled deadpan speaks volumes.
((...like for a starter?))
//Maria, as an inter dimensional traveler, has been to a Pokemon universe and has garnered a reputation on a world within that portion of the Multiverse. Her teams are incredibly diverse, and while she doesn't consider herself a Trainer of Legendary Pokemon, there are some that come to her aid when asked for.
There's a very specific Pikachu who has refused to evolve for his own reasons, but he isn't a constant in all of Maria's teams. He's busy with his own tasks and doesn't get the chance to battle often. She is fond of Ninetales, however, and will usually have either Kanto or Alola variants on her stronger teams. Maybe Delphox is she's feeling like mixing things up.
Lucario is great. Lucario is fun.
Swampert is one of her more favorite regional starters to include on a team. Something about the bulky wall of a Water/Ground-type pleases Maria immensely, despite her own natural affinity for fire.
//I'm trying to think up nicknames for some of Maria's mons and for some reason my brain thought of MudFish (Muddy for short) for her Swampert friend. Which, while fitting, could get confusing if Maria calls for a Muddy Water....

((it's difficult trying to figure out what I want to do with Maria. Because, like. I want to do RP stuff with her, but at the same time, the backstory and adventures I've written for her are so monstrously expansive that it's difficult to, say, drop her into a scenario with other characters. Especially if she's familiar with them from her own escapades -- familiar in a "I know you from another timeline" kind of way, which could turn some people away from interactions.
Makes it difficult to want to keep her online, tbh....))
((I've been playing Legends Z-A and the desire to throw Maria into a Pokemon scenario is building. Trouble is, because i'm building her based on my fanfic series...trying to establish that level of strength is gonna be difficult. I need to find a way to downgrade but still keep some of her nonsense intact....))

"Yeah, not being able to turn off that feeling sounds like hell. You probably made the right choice." Ichisada nods. "You want me to describe it to you? I won't use words that make it sound way better than it actually is. I promise."
Ichisada wasn't going to pressure Maria into trying anything she didn't want too, or hear what she didn't want too. Her honor as a bartender and brewer would be revoked if she pressured someone into drinking something they didn't want too.
Maria hummed. "That sounds reasonable."
The android didn't doubt that Ichisada had not only seen the effects of alcohol in others, but also in herself, whenever she indulged.
"I know it can affect memory and overall mood the following morning -- plenty of fiction talks about being unable to remember the previous night, and there are all kinds of 'hangover cures' that are...debatable, in whether or not they work. Some of them, anyway."
Of course your body's gonna get you back for drinking something it doesn't want or need. That didn't surprise Maria in the least. It was what happened during the drinking she was a little less certain of.
"You think that's bad?" Maria rests her head in a hand, pretending to look forlorn. There's a spark of amusement in her eyes that says otherwise. "Some of us can't get drunk. Don't have the organic parts to mess with. At least I don't have a liver to kill." (portalwalker)
@portalwalker
"You ever try to get drunk? Like, putting a magnet on your head or spinning around a whole lot until you can't stand upright anymore? Y'know, for the experience of it all?"
"...can't say I've ever wanted to? Considering how my parents always talked about magnets messing with tech growing up, I didn't want to find out how that'd mess with me. I might be more advanced than those old TVs, but it doesn't hurt to be cautious."
Maria's expression scrunched into something annoyed. "Although, there was one time where an energy burst made my ability to see color become inverted for a while. That happened in the middle of a fight a long time ago, so I can't say I enjoyed it. I needed to get a mechanic to reverse it."
Maria glances down at her usual attire -- dark red shirt, orange jacket, jeans, red boots -- and shrugs.
"I could change the look of my gear, but green's not really my color."
With not much to do recently, Maria's taken to working her way through various forms of fictional media to research potential multiversal destinations.
Mostly by delving into the database her brother left behind and reading his "do not interact unless required" list.
"Yeesh, this place looks like a total mess. Constant time travel, alternate timelines that interfere with each other. It's a wonder that reality hasn't torn itself apart with all the time-based meddling." Maria frowned at the holographic screen. "If I ever end up in the reality this 'Another Eden' game is based on, I'm going to have to be careful. Don't want anyone following me out and messing with the timeline more."
"Hmmm." Maria tilted her head at the holographic screen floating in her hand. "Yeah, that one's definitely not someone I want to get on the bad side of...."
"What are you looking at?" Star poked her head over the back of the armchair, fairy wings flickering with subtle movements. The version of Mabel Pines tilted her head at the information Maria was looking at.
"Joshua's 'Do Not Interact' list." Maria lifted her hand a little to give the other a better look. "This fellow's a reincarnated demon king in his reality, apparently."
"Is he a bad guy?"
Maria chuckled. "Nah. Joshua's DNI is actually a 'Do not get on their bad side or else they'll kill you or worse' type of list. This Anos guy is technically the hero of his reality, but with the strength at his disposal, he'd make for a pretty strong enemy to run into."
"Oooh. That makes sense." Star nodded. "So, these are guys you'll only cross paths with if they ask for help?"
"If they need it, which I doubt it. They're pretty high up there in terms of strength -- definitely higher than me." Maria flicked her hand, making the hologram disappear. "Still, I don't want to be caught by surprise if they come here -- or if something goes weird in a way they weren't expecting. So studying up on them is a pretty good idea."
"Yeah!" Star perked up. "Do they have any source material, like us?"
"I wouldn't be surprised. Joshua had to get his information from somewhere. Lesse...." Maria flicked her wrist again, bringing back up the hologram. "Anos is...The Misfit of Demon Academy. Interesting."
"What kind of demon king is also a misfit?"
"Wouldn't hurt to find out."
The turning of the year from the old to the new wasn't that big a deal for Maria. She'd been around long enough that she could ignore most celebration traditions with the same kind of indifference as someone who didn't see the point in joining in.
There was a difference between being a couple decades into her life and a few centuries, after all.
Still, though, there had been something nice about the small party the Pines had put together with the townsfolk, shooting fireworks and having a feast in what used to be the Northwest Mansion.
Although the people who could get drunk were still suffering from hangovers. Maybe she should go around and start shoving Pecha berries down their throats to ease that...maybe mix in some Chesto berries for good measure.
It was something Maria could think about while she considered her options for what she could do in the new year. Should she try for a resolution? But a year was so short compared to a decade....
Maria's Christmas dessert treats have been eating into her Berry supply.
Which is good, because she's got so many Berry trees and so few options to actually use them, short of giving them to the local inventor to use in his attempts at winery.
