i'm thinking of changing cain's name

[oceanofhands]

I should probably do a little introduction of the main characters!! Right now, none of them have official references, so I'm gonna have to try and explain their appearances as best as I can. (under the cut since the post is WAY too long)

Edit 23/04/25: changed Cain's name to Adelard

Malakye Otieno – The Crane (he/him)

Malakye is the protagonist. He's black and has a skin condition called vitiligo which affects his hair too, causing it to go grey in some places. Speaking of his hair, it's black and in locs. He is 6'1 and can be found wearing casual attire, such as varsity jackets, t-shirts, flannels, baggy trousers, and sometimes flat caps.

He's African and grew up in England (Foxby Heath), but for six years prior to the story lived in Paris with his adoptive father Kellen. Malakye is a transgender man, who takes testosterone but doesn't plan on any surgeries. He doesn't even bind (let them hang, king). He's bisexual and demisexual.

He has (squints at a long list) autism, depression, cptsd, and fibromyalgia - which then causes chronic pain, insomnia, headaches, brain fog and anxiety. To help with some of these symptoms, he carries painkillers and uses a cane most days. As for the insomnia ehh.... he just watches ASMR before bed.

Adelard de la Croix – The Bear* (he/him)

Adelard has white freckled skin and shoulder length dirty blonde hair. He's 5'10 and usually wears dark, thick, warm clothes like coats, scarves, button-ups, cardigans/sweaters, trousers, etc. Since Foxby Heath is set in the south of England and is surrounded by trees (therefore shade), it gets pretty cold.

He's French and spent his first few years in the country, but after his parents divorced, him and his mother moved to England and Adelard spent the rest of his life there. He's a transgender man who takes testosterone, and in the past had a double mastectomy (top surgery) and phalloplasty (bottom surgery). He's gay.

He has autism, adhd, chronic back pain and possibly bpd. But he's in denial about the last two. After the story, he does seek treatment and a diagnosis.

*metaphorically and gay-body-type-ly

Gaia Kalawaia-Flores – The Fox (he/they)

Gaia has dark brown skin with moles here and there and darker hair (type 3B) reaching the top of his waist. He's 6'0 and has a very fashionable sense of style, wearing things like trench coats, faux fur coats, berets, flare jeans and animal patterns (fake, not literally the fur or scales).

They're Afro-Latino, and lived with their father in America (Texas) until they were around 11, then moved to (surprise surprise) Foxby Heath. This means, unfortunately, he has a general American accent. Not as strong as the Texas accent, but it sometimes slips through. He's gnc trans masc and doesn't have any surgeries or take testosterone, but he plans to take it once he's had his first child. That's if he ever has one. He wears a binder sometimes. His sexuality is unlabeled ("only have eyes for Leilani")

He has audhd and insomnia, and manages the insomnia by having early nights and a relaxing bedtime routine. Another mental illness is that he's basically American.

Leilani Kalawaia-Flores – The Jester (they/them)

Leilani has brown freckled skin and dyed white hair reaching just past their shoulders. They're 5'8 (the shortest, bless their cotton socks) and can be found wearing whimsical diy outfits. Button ups with funky patterns, knitted sweaters, shirts with memes on them, jeans and trousers with patches and embroidery, and all sorts of rings, necklaces and bracelets.

They're Hawaiian (with a hint of Croatian from their father) but lived in England for their whole life, running away to little Foxby Heath with their younger sister when she was 15 and they were 18. They're intersex and don't really identify as non-binary, "I'm just Leilani" as they say. But they/them is still a preference. They don't take any HRT or have any surgeries. They're pansexual.

They suffer from widespread pain and usually need forearm crutches to get around. They have a lazy eye and cover it with an eyepatch, a prosthetic left (dominant) forearm, and they have autism, adhd and possibly depression.

Kōnane Kalawaia - The Tiger (she/he)

Kōnane has brown skin and an outgrown buzzcut dyed blonde. At the sides, it's dyed orange with black stripes to look like a tiger pattern. She wears jeans, tank tops, polo shirts, leather jackets, and always has keychains and a carabiner attached to her jeans.

Like his older sibling, he's Hawaiian with a dash of Croatian and moved to Foxby Heath when he was only fifteen. She lived with Farmer Marnie*² until the lady passed away. She's bigender and recently started testosterone, and also binds her chest with trans tape. He's an asexual butch lesbian.

He's autistic, has arthritis and anxiety (which caused a terrible phobia of germs).

that's all for now! obviously there are more than just five characters, but this post will be VERY long if I do them all.

[oceanofhands]

Welcome, welcome! Watch your step – you might fall in.

── ⋆｡𖦹°‧ ──

Set in the presumably fictional village of Foxby Heath (and a few extra universes), our protagonist Malakye Otieno travels back to Fox'eath in an attempt to solve the mystery brewing in his home village – where was the engineer, and did the butcher kill them? There, he faces his ex-boyfriend Adelard, and also the possibility that God may exist and there are more than one.

Ocean of Hands (2oH) is a book that I am attempting to write. The problem? I've never written a book. I'm not good at writing. Any ao3 fics I've posted in the past became orphans.

In this account, I will be posting art of the characters, little teasers, and most likely asking for help with writing. As I already mentioned, I'm extremely inexperienced with writing, but it's the most accessible thing for me right now. Which is why Ocean of Hands will most likely not come in the near future.

But for now, buckle in and don't look at the moons for too long while I tell you a story about old broken friends, gods and talking felines.
