Karanvir (Kara) Vekhande
cis man, he/him, gay & married
usually around 38 years old
The OG oc, Connecticut Clark/Some Guy of all time. He is no one special, he does not have the ability to rend worlds apart or put them back together, and I love him so dearly. A lycanthrope, blacksmith, and sometimes glassblower who swears as easily as he breathes and loves with his whole heart and soul. He's actually the middle kid of the Vekhande siblings and they're the start of his protective streak.
He's the kind of activist to be out punching bigots and making sure people know how to deal with kettling and tear gas. Maybe he threw a molotov or two back in the day. All that matters is that he's making sure the people around him know their worth and get their damn human rights recognized. Kara is married to @maniacalchimera's Erik! (his Malfina tbh). He loves trashy romance books & movies. <3
Isha Vekhande
trans woman, she/her, bisexual
usually around 38 years old
You ever have thoughts about your oc as another gender presentation that spiral out of control? Isha is Kara's identical twin and (very slightly) older sister. She's a family lawyer who works specifically with kids and takes great pains to do as right as she can by them. She lost her left hand in an incident with ice magic/cryofreeze depending on the universe. She makes use of an advanced prosthetic most days and will happily give her loved ones a hand when asked. No, the joke never gets old to her.
Isha has a thing for 'oddballs' and her friends can loosely be described as a collection of weirdos. Her roommate almost destroyed the world like twice, but he got better-ish. She'd love to find a solid relationship but it's proving harder than expected to really click with someone long-term. She'd like children of her own, but she's already got a handful of adult 'kids' that she's mentored and loves. Otome games are her secret pleasure.
Sainath (Sai) Vekhande
trans man, he/him, pansexual
35 years old
The youngest of the Vekhande siblings and also the most notable one. While all three are known for human rights work, Sai is the one who made the biggest mark. Born a tiefling like the twins, Some Stuff Happened(TM) and he got uno reverse carded. He's now a duly elected politician which is as much a limit on his abilities as it is a boon.
Sai has two romantic partners, innumerable friends and loved ones, and a very ugly brown cat named Cheddar. He also has a temper that he tries to bury, but has a tendency to explode when pushed past his point of endurance. His feathers shed embers and his gaze is uncanny at the best of times. He has an obscene amount of hours in both stardew valley & animal crossing.
Apollo L. Papadopoulos
cis man, he/him, pansexual
(depends on how he's feeling/if I've trapped him in a mortal shell) youngest: 17, oldest: 30s
Yeah, I straight up stole Apollo from Trials of Apollo. What is a roleplayed character and what is an oc? Who cares, he's literally based on an ancient Greek god and that's about as free real estate as it gets. Also he's a Viera now. How do I talk about this guy...
Apollo is self-centered, annoying, and also capable of feats of great compassion. He's a powerful healer, a musician, and also learning that being The Narrative's Favorite is not a good thing! His best friend is a troublemaker who takes no shit, especially not his (@maniacalchimera's Pips)! His husband (for tax benefits and then...much more than that) in his Main Narrative is @beforusnepeta's Sindri!
Xehanort "Junior" Conli (rarely known as Xhera)
trans man, he/him, gay & demiro
20 years old
All I can say is lol.
Junior is a character who is both very, very canon to KH and also very much not. By this I mean, there is his canon character which makes me want to eat drywall and also write a whole TED talk about. I care very much about his canon storyline (except not being from DI, fight me in the ditch) and his motivations and his path. I just like to make a few little enhancements (trans and also the demymx).
And then there is Junior, the original character. Based on ymx certainly, but also I have taken my toy and run. My city now and all that. So setting aside the YMX TED talk that I will one day write, let's talk Junior.
He's trans and his father is usually pretty shit about it. His mother died a fair few years back and was the competent parent. How much idolization there is in death is something he'll probably never unpack. His name 'Junior' was a childhood nickname from his mom and he vastly prefers it than any other name he's given himself. (tries to man up with his father's name, now wants his father dead, hell of a timeline.)
Junior prefers physical relationships to the emotional and has only had one serious relationship that ended messily. One night stands are his preference now. It's fun, it's guilt free, and leaves him plenty of time to focus on his engineering work. He's got a thing for time, you see, a real feel for it. (He's definitely a little autistic.) He's also an asshole with little patience for most of the world. If you catch his attention, it can be good. It can also be really fucking annoying.
The thing is once he cares about you, it's a for life kind of thing. Earn his loyalty and he's remaking the world for you. He might even trust you with a little vulnerability then. Might. He's also an island kid. He likes surfing even if he was never award winning and he hates cold weather. It's just that he also hates the ocean for all it represents. "It's complicated" ass kind of guy.
