Hi I’m Red. I love ttrpgs, I love trans men, and I love goth music. He/him exclusive to most, he/they for closer mutuals and transmasculinity posters. I use the terms man, fag, homosexual, and ghost for gender. I am over 18.
I don't tag anything but a few regular ones and my ocs, and occasionally post nsfw. If you're a minor or need trigger tags, best not to follow me. Not a formal DNI, just a 'keep yourself safe'.
I have a sideblog where I only post art: @red-ink-squiggles. And a sideblog where I post about horror: @red-talkin-graves.
Also: Fuck the UCP! If you ever put me in the same room as a UCP politician my cane is leaving dented and they're leaving with a head injury.
OC list:
Currently playing...
The ones being actively used as tabletop player characters right now. NPCs don't count, CaDi gets its own section.
Altair: A nervous boy with stars in his lungs, whose every breath heals those around him. Never seen without a knife.
The Garden/Lilium: A lonely changeling who's fallen head over heels in love with the same friends they're doomed to betray. See the below section.
Zephryne/Stag: A quiet and unhesitating monster hunter who struggles to talk with the same courage he has hunting.
Callian/Doc: A giant of a man who struggles to speak kindly through memories of pain and grief.
Shion/Ghost Puppy: An upbeat and cheerful kid who's dog-like traits hide a more spectral and deathly power.
Amaraneya 'Raney' Moriorum/Corax: A former flying ace currently working as a mech pilot to care for his adopted kids.
Horse Boy: Elturel's lady of dawn. He desperately reaches for a new life, even ehen being a man costs him.
The Garden...
A system with many facets and identities, each with a role to play.
Lilium(Host): Hasn't been active for decades, since even before meeting the ghosts. A particularly impactful event could bring him back, but who knows what sort of being he would be?
Faceless: The liar, the trickster, the hero. An idealist who craves a better world, no matter what that world costs.
Mentzelia: The defender, the lion, the avenger. A regal and brutal woman who will do anything to protect her other facets.
Nameless: The lover, the sacrifice, the shield. None of Lilium loves the party like they do, but it insists on a distance.
Asphodel: The grieving, the widow, the spectre. An entity that possesses other facets instead of fronting alone.
Pyr: The rotting, the reaper, the parasite. A man unable to be contained to one form or state, contradictory and efficient.
Rosin: The prey, the obsessor, the victim. Rosin will allow those they love to mistreat it in any way, just to see them smile.
The Groundskeeper: Something built of the memories of their spectral Knight. But it can never live up to him.
The classics...
Old ocs I re-make often, or ocs I'm otherwise very attached to.
Amarya: A tired ghost trying to balance his invesitgative work with his responsibilities as a psychopomp.
Emari: A dilfy trans vigilante who shapeshifts by absorbing metal and can talk his way out of (almost) any threat.
Del/Strix: A man with enemies in every corp, desperate to save their doomed and tragic lover.
Finch: A motherly villain who sculpts the flesh of both itself and others like clay- and is more than willing to craft horrors.
Dysphania/Mirval: A lonely warlock, saved from calamity by the same patron who now holds her magic.
Zephyr: A butch who turned to guarding just about anyone when a new power stole away her dream career.
Inkwell/Librarian: A woman forced into heroism too young, turning to villainy to free herself from the light.

Zephyra: An older changeling, scarred from years of human aggression and slowly learning to trust again.
Chiroptera: A sonic-powered hero who recently retired to more peaceful jobs, running his artificer lab in the countryside.
Rhozeleon: Weird little incubus who likes toying with loserish men more than itvlikes running the farm.
What's an unsavory detail about your OC or opinion they have (to a modern Tumblr audience)?
I leave up to you which OC, i wanna know the most problematic, cancelable shit they have 👀
(also ik i have the asks closed! I saved it on the second blog to post it on main later)
(Ahh that makes sense)
Choosing to not answer with CaDi ocs because 50% of the major npcs in that game are gods and war criminals, so thats too easy. You get Lilium, Zephryne, and Amarya.
Lilium:
Ok so. In dnd our party keeps out money and most useful items in a portable hole item. Useful efficient storage and all o that. By raw dnd rules, you cannot in fact put a portable hole inside a person.
However. Because Lilium's whole thing is weird body horror, and because that changeling-rule-bending body horror comes with a disability that has impacted him mechanically, the gm has let him break quite a few smaller rules via shapeshifting. One of which is the portable hole thing.
There is no way for the party to access their finances or any magic items they dont carry on their own person without either fully killing Lilium(which even the most evil of our party aren't willing to do for various reasons) or Lilium choosing to shapeshift his body out of the way so they can reach in and grab whatever they need from the hole.
Usually this isn't an issue. Lilium loves his friends and wants them to have nice things, so if they ask for the money he opens up a path to the hole no problem. Sometimes it is an issue, but a minor one. Arikan our resident rude(we love him) tyrant king is being meaner than usual this session? Lilium will open the hole the second anyone else so much as reaches for it, but Arikan has to wait and nicely say please.
But this not usually causing issues doesn't really change that Lilium fundamentally controls the party's entire bank account and finances, that nobody is able to access our money without either getting his permission or killing him.
Zephryne(tag name is Stag):
Abandoned his sister and entire family the second they were adults to go hunt monsters. Which he isn't even that great at because he's a glass cannon with a max hp of 13. He's spent 50 years away fighting monsters and never sent a letter to his sister explaining he's alive. She doesn't even know he transitioned, far as Eurelia knows she has a sister!
What are your ocs favorite sports? To watch? To play?
This one is a difficult one and will distract me very well, because I know fuck all about sports, thank you!
I think... I imagine in lancer there's probably mech combat sports, and Raney loves watching those with his kids. You'd never see him in the ring though because he's a skittish little man who doesn't want to die. Probably loves participating in any racing sports. He'll watch em too, but actually being the one speeding along is better.
Amarya watches wrestling to see the half-naked oiled up muscular men. I really don't think he's the part to participate in sports though, his build is from doing construction work for a good portion of his adult life.
Anomallow, if they were in a setting with wrestling, would participate in wrestling. They'd have no interest in watching any sports though, they just like grappling people. I think they'd also enjoy watching hockey, specifically for the fights. I would not trust Anomallow on skates or with a hockey stick though.
Zephyr canonically worked as a boxer prior to developing her superpowers! I am counting combat sports also because they're the only sports I know anything about. Dont read into that. Anyways she doesn't enjoy watching sports, she only wants to be the one fighting.
Chiroptera loves baseball, but he gets overwhelmed by just how loud it gets, so he shuts off his hearing aids to watch. He doesn't play any sports though.
Lythrum gets disqualified from every wrestling set he tries to enter because his conjoined venomous sisters keep biting people :/
VITAL info. The ghost detective Amarya '"I died in a workplace accident and all they gave me was this shirt" printed on an apron when he cant even cook' Kubaryi is now canonically the ghost puppy's uncle and guardian. He's great except for the fact that he fucking sucks as cooking so they always have to order food.
OC fun fact, my ghost detective Amarya has an apron he always uses to cook that just has the text "I died in a workplace accident and all they gave me was this shirt" printed on it

can I ask about 🍰 and🍸for emari and amarya?
Hello, thank you so much!!
🍰 was favourite sweets/desserts, 🍸was favourite alcoholic drinks.
Emari loves quick and easy candies honestly. Something he can just eat a couple of for a little sugar boost til he can get home and rest. It's a trick I learned to help with my own chronic fatigue that I think he also uses! As for alcoholic drinks, I think he prefers more lightly flavoured anything, maybe those vodka sodas. They don't really enjoy the taste of alcohol. He is generally resistant to it's effects too, with being partially made of metal and all that.
Amarya has a huge sweet tooth, and prefers cakes and cupcakes! They're one of the few foods he actually still eats, and usually his fridge and cupboards have at least a few different desserts in em. As for alcohol, most foods have their flavour dulled now(including the previously mentioned desserts, which he does get sad about), so he likes anything that tastes strong. Doesn't matter if it is actually a strong drink, he just wants to taste it. Cinnamon whiskey is probably his favourite though.
[Id 1: a picture of youtube comments. The first has been edited to say “My hungry ass couldn’t be an undertaker 💀💀”. The reply says “What do you mean? What do you mean by that?”]
[Id 2: the same image, but edited instead to say “an exorcist” instead of “an undertaker”.]
