when shaping your oc, what inspired you—music, existing media/characters, aesthetics, tropes, things from your personal life, etc?

so when coming up w medraut because she was going to be my main playable character in ff14 which as an MMO is going to basically be running indefinitely unless they decide to make ff14-2 or something, i wanted to create a character who can conceivably exist in the confines of the story by making a "never-ending arc" which translated kind of into making a character who is chronically dissatisfied and can not find fulfillment through typical means. enter: YOKO TARO GAMES which all feature characters who are chronically dissatisfied since these games deal with cycles of violence as main motifs!

brother nier has always been kind of the guiding lamppost for medraut's characterization as he is at a base level the perfect fairy tale brother until the second half of the game; replicant is a fairy tale subversion so it worked perfectly to apply this to my character for ff14. i love drakenier and characters who are secretly insane so. extra bonuses. I LOVE A BERSERKER!!

medraut's aesthetics draw primarily from mima from perfect blue and rei ayanami. like everyone else i'm really taken by this image of mima and rei's bob is so iconic i wanted to play with the face framing bangs, and her emotional distance and underlying sweetness is fun too, especially as a girl-who-is-not-a-girl

as for medraut's overall design i wanted to make a unique feeling character, tbh initially i wanted to make a f!roegadyn because i love merlwyb's design so much, but fsr i thought they were locked to subscriber and was on free trial so i decided to make medraut based off the longlasting concept: "I Am Cringe And I Am Free" aka reclaiming designs and aesthetics i loved after i first got into anime and up through middle school. primarily i chose the horns for her specifically to replicate the look of anime girls with big bug eyes and angel wings on the side of their heads. i wanted their eyes to be kinda Freaky in true mary-sue realness. bright pink over the top clothing that doesn't really make sense for how it drapes on her. i loved black rock shooter in middle school so i wanted a "tiny" anime girl who uses bigass weapons. au'ra was the perfect choice to fulfill this trope dkljfdskj

i also loved the idea of creating a sort of dissonance between the character's appearance and her actual outfits. medraut's designs are usually based off the idea of keeping her palette relatively low-contrast so the bright colored outfits i draw them in pop even more--and her eyes too, which are a very bright nearly white-yellow, stand out a lot even against her white scales. when i draw her, her hair and skin tone are typically the same contrast level while simply varying in hue to make them look different. keeping a few focal points to be very bright or very dark makes her appear somewhat ominous even when i draw them in hot pink. which i LOVEEE to do.

as far as music goes the dreaminess of cocteau twins is what i associate the most with medraut but HEALTH, even though their tone is too abrasive for me to fully ascribe to medraut in terms of sonicscape, works quite well lyrically. UNLOVED is THE zenosdraut song to me and in their recent CONFLICT DLC album they have a song called TRASH DECADE that reminds me a lot of her too, which i'll share here cuz i like it :)

Here in the void hope is another drug Did you ever really know me? And on it goes, hope is just a word Did you ever really love me? Too much pain I know everything about you I don't want to live without you Too much shame (Too much shame) I'm the bitter one Waste my tears Let me forget again

“So…. Hypothetically I mean, like, totes jus’ an idea, how much lipstick can ya ‘borrow’ fer a pal without gettin’ in trouble? ‘S gettin’ way too expensive…”

For what feels like the umpteenth time he grabs the tails of his beloved leather coat and yanks them away from @angelatelier 's hands. "Stop." Yes the tails are tattered and worn and damaged thanks to years of wear, sporting cuts and bullet holes and jagged edges and there are places where the lining is singed thanks to gunpowder and other places where the lining is detaching from the tail entirely, but the story his coat has created over the years is...well, it's embarrassing to admit, so he will only grant it a moment of passing inside his brain before moving on, but it's a bit special even to someone like Vergil. "I don't care if you'll make it look 'as good as new', stop touching my coat. Keep your hands to yourself." Fucking hell he feels like he's 11 years old and fighting with Dante all over again. For good measure he adds on an: "Or else," eyes narrowing to slits.

Kiwa is undeterred. She plants her hands on her hips and shoots him a pout. "You don't scare me," she declares firmly.

"And you don't endear me," Vergil snaps, reply immediate, feeling the vein in his forehead pulse. He's not even really sure why he's so annoyed. Normally he'd just leave and move on. Maybe it's because Kiwa is so goddamn tall? He's not used to someone being anywhere as tall as he is--usually he and Dante (and now Nero too, he supposes) tower over everyone else, but Kiwa is only an inch shorter than him, so it makes her presence even more impossible for him to ignore... and her demands even more demanding.

"Oh, nobody believes that, Freddie--"

Elektra swirls her glass and snorts a little laugh as the bartender gives a sigh, then a warning glance toward Kiwa, and moves to talk to another patron down the bar to their left. She leans further onto her palm to look the woman beside her up and down just once and shakes her head, curls tucked neatly behind her ears; It's not too late in the evening so the bar isn't full up yet, but Elektra isn't here just to drink. She's here, as she is, always, to do the work she wants to. And tonight that means scoping out one of the so-called X-Men, one she knows from surveillance and investigating the big happy family's ensemble, but has yet to meet face to face yet. Until now!

"What'd he say, watch out? For me? Don't listen to him, he hardly knows me," she rolls her eyes at the ceiling with a teasing smirk. "I've never chewed anyone up. Nibbled maybe--But who hasn't, hm?" Understatement. Even Elektra knows that with her wicked smile very few people wouldn't believe she might be deadly in one way, shape, or form. When she taps her fingers against the glass, it makes it easy to see that the red wine she's sipping matches her manicure.

The two of them are dressed quite differently which she finds incredibly amusing. Elektra's never been one for pastels, but she'd never lie and say they don't work for some people. "Please tell me that you've actually chewed on some silly boy today and bring some excitement to my evening--," she leaves a pause after in lieu of asking the woman's name, her glass tipped forward just-so in a playful toast.

@angelatelier || kiwa & tony

he's been catching wind of a clothing brand. its been buzzed about around him and he was curious. the brand well, was lingerie and its been a while since tony had gotten a new set for himself.

majority of them weren't comfortable so he would just burn them after using it for a day. some even less.

he entered the shop, looking around "hello~?"
