Would you rather have

Forrix' son

Or

Toramino's daughter

(both are force adopted, both their lives were made hell by the Legion they got adopted to, no Toramino you won't make them breed to establish a feudal line of elite auxilia bad Toramino BAD)

Also their names are Aaron Desta and Senge Maedot respectively. Finally drew these poor, poor teens (well before they kinda became Forrix' and Toramino's kids without asking them XD)

Give me the laydown on your OCs! Just a short blurb or smth, like a starting point

I'm glad you asked! Most OCs are somewhat affiliated with the IVth Legion. Although I don't know if what I wrote would count as a blurb. I tried to keep it short though!!

Kelela - former glass worker and supervisor who wasn't having it with IW forcing some people from her homeplanet into thralldom in space just to meet the restock quotas Perturabo set. Easily disgusted and enraged if she sees something as even remotely wrong; can get hot-headed and seem unreasonable without context. Boredom is her public enemy no 1, so even if it hurts her, she'd rather engage with it if there's nothing else left. A pain for Perturabo to deal with, as she'll call him out on EVERYTHING.

Aaron - kidnapped former menial in a corpse cleaner unit who got transferred to be Kelela's scribe and later form an auxilia attached to IW and TS. Often quiet, but increasingly determined to let his past not consume him, into a brighter future. Is a psyker.

Senge aka Murder Doll - daughter of one of Kelela's work friends, considers Kelela her aunt. Forced to be a cybernetic experiment for a neophyte Kroeger. She's seen as super cute to everyone but Kroeger who treats her like shit (altho in secret he's crushing hard for her). Goes from shy, scared and reluctant to confident and bitterly prideful of herself. Oh Kroeger gave her so many mental issues

Amaya - Aaron's mother, discovered barely alive by Forrix as a promethium menial 5 years after she and Aaron got kidnapped. In those 5 years she got badly abused and constantly blames herself for everything that happened to Aaron, her husband and her. Before that, she was a gatherer-herbalist in the warp-infested surface of her home planet (only the mountains, where Kelela and Senge are from are mostly safe). Is a psyker.

Nikophes - from the 1st Grand Battalion, has a brotherly relationship with Amaya, going so far that he tattooed her body for her brands to be given new meaning. The first to call her the Unscarred Lady.

Weydblum - Respiratory serf aboard the Phalanx, is from a planet that is OBSESSED with everything German (including lots of misinterpretations). She's super nervous and has lots of nightmares due to her terrible experience with men and cause the warp is messing with her head worse than with others. Good thing that a young Sigismund as a customer is here for her to fangirl over, in the hopes that he may be derived from the ancient Germans.

Aurelius - Leader of the surviving remnants of the Eater's of Cities. He and a dozen others were too ill to travel with the others, is very guilt-driven because of that and has been trying to continue Angron's work.

Venus - Former brood slave turned gladiator. Extremely cunning and basically Aurelius' intelligence due to her direct interactions with the House Thal'kyr. Her and Aurelius are a couple with kids.

Stellanova (Dekunastella) - 12th child of a brood slave and the Emperor of Desh'ea; thrown in as a gladiator for her disobedience of her role as future low bride or brood slave (she was a little girl). The rightful wrath of the Eaters of Cities incarnate; wishes to behead her father for having her mother die from so many child births.

Wormlans of Thal'kyr - Maggotis (Maggot's Eyes) brother who took over the role as announcer of the largest arena in De'shea.

Oxana - teen prostitute on Nostramo Quintus with a baby growing in her. Disturbed not only because of the nature of her job but also because of the visions of her future she cannot control. Konrad wanted to kill and eat her, but his own visions showed a divergence in fate. And they were Roommates with baby Jago to care about, each as crazy as the next in love and the blood of their enemies :))

I have too many ideas man and I need to dump them so I won't feel bad about not needing to draw it all

- in my AU Forrix is Olympian but unfortunately in a child sex ring as well, he's had varying degrees of functional depression ever since that not even his later wife can fix.

Toramino, Berossus and Harkor were inducted together with Forrix, and Berossus knew about Forrix father's business. The three end up trying to bully Forrix over this, only for Toramino to get badly beaten by him in one of the aspirant trials.

Toramino: I heard much bout your family

Berossus and Harkor: smirking and gossiping in the background

Forrix, dead inside:

Berossus: eyyy eyy why don't you bend over for us hahahahaha

Forrix: Iron doesn't bend. (at this point Perturabos teachings have been the one thing giving him comfort)

Toramino and Forrix actually end up standing each other for how much potential they have while Berossus, the weakest of them all is absolutely terrified and Harkor silently tries to get better.

Like, in the end, Toramino isn't even mad that Forrix is First Captain. All the responsibility, none of the glory Toramino was bestowed and Forrix was really good at it.

My head cannon for actual canon is that they're semi good colleagues, until Kroeger gets promoted and fucking Harkor convinces Toramino to replace dependable, competent but not noble Forrix with his scheming, but NoBlE ass.

Toramino is a vainglorious cunt, but Harkor is a BEEEEETCH. At least Toramino gets shit done and looks stylish doing so. Forrix deserves Dantioch levels of warsmiths around him, not these losers qwq

Another headcanon is that Kroeger has strawberry blonde hair that looks almost identical to his skin when he's mad beserking. Oh, and in my AU he built a Skiitari to apply for tech marine apprenticeship, but failed utterly and now he has a self aware murder doll living with him in his room. He will call her murder doll btw and they will end up together in blood. He then applied to be an Iron Havoc, only to get his murder doll accepted, an error of the Stor-Bezahk.

Through many shenanigans, she becomes Toraminos pet (he likes her hair) in exchange for her being prepared to train a new kind of auxilia that has similar implants to her (Kroeger is a dumbass genius.)

So now the one thing he could call his was on nearly equal footing to him now. Things escalate, she leaves to aid the World Eaters (Angrons nails got removed!) and Kroeger follows her, only to find actual friendship and brotherhood in Kharn and many World Eaters. While he still has his allegiance on the Iron Warriors, the Conquerer is basically his home now.

Like, him, Kharn and Sigismund having the time of their lives in the training grounds and moshpits of the most brutal concerts in the Imperium!

And Senge (murder doll) and Kroeger both quietly realizing that Iron Warriors' culture is rotten and needlessly toxic to the core, to the point where Kroeger basically ruined her life just to get himself some promotion or even a speck of recognition. They break up with each other cause Kroeger abused Senge hard under the reasoning of IW doctrine, but remain in semi-good footing with each other as colleagues. They both heal in the respective Astartes and mortal crews.

The End

- also IW pinup calendar, hazard striped n all

- also want to draw my IW OCs, Iridas (delegated loser with a married couple as his emotional support system), Zerrax (he fucked a prostitute once, took her in his wing and now they're a couple) and Hector (prostitute's second boyfwiend who disturbingly looks like younger Perturabo)

My brain is just begging to give itself a burnout, doesn't it. Stupid stupid grey matter
