Thank you so much, my friend! ❤️

From Sisterhood of Blood -

She wore her late brother’s clothes - pants that needed to be belted around her thin waist to keep them up, and the ends cuffed over her dusty boots.

✂️ and 🌋 for the OC Questions?

Oh jeez! I didn’t expect anyone to actually send anything, otherwise I would’ve left OC names or WIPs in the tags, as it stands idk who you’re asking about so I dunno what to answer :’)

That being said, thank you for sending this in! :D

I had a crazy, stupid idea for a thing to do in Animal Crossing because my wardrobe in game is simply bursting ((when I realised those yellow jumpsuits looked awfully familiar.....)) - make the OC’s of a few peeps in Animal Crossing form!!

I realise they aren’t too accurate but there’s only so much I can do on that front XD and I was working on this alone so trying to work out emotes for two characters in the same photo was..... hard. I’m sorry!! I’ll try again soon XD

Anyway - the peeps featured!

1 and 2: Alicia and Marissa from Street Magic, by @cirianne. The yellow jumpsuit gave me this idea, ok. But the real crime is that there is not a white one :C i was kinda limited with my furniture and stuff so Alicia is in a classroom and Marissa is in her super swanky kitchen!!

3 and 4: Lilly and Grayson from our Street Magic Spinoff, by me and @writingonesdreams. I couldn’t not do #Lillson4Lyf. This game was made for bringing out the cute in Lilly and Grayson as a couple <3

5 and 6: Acacia and Kyler from The 5th Magic, by @writingonesdreams. Acacia, I admit, I struggled with the outfit, but I kinda figured she looks good in anything, so..... but Kyler was easier. I had a coat just for the job to make him look as swish as possible! Also him being moody is featured!

7 and 8: Sarra and Ahni from Knight Errant, by @dove-actually. Full disclosure, Dove, this one was the first one where I tried to have both characters at once, and I couldn’t figure out how to use emotes for both of them at the same time (I only have two hands forgive me!!). I did eventually figure it out and by the time I was transferring these files I realised I forgot to go back and make Ahni look more animated. I will try again soon though!!

9 and 10: Tilda and Rajani from The Dawnbringer, by @ardawyn. The outfits were my undoing, but I think I did ok! I have a little market like area in my town so I have to admit using it for Rajani was a nice effective touch that I enjoyed doing. Totally made the terraforming of that entire quarter of my island soooo much more worth it XD

I think I’ll do more of these soon. I might make it something of a game for writeblr, because it was kind of fun! I just need a more effective way of getting the images off my switch and onto my laptop though :( oh well.

I hope you like the images! I did have fun making them, and your OC’s are all amazing and I love them!

Hello! How about 12, 20, 41 and 48 for Phoenix? :)

[Send me some numbers!]

Oohh, interest in Phoenix! Let’s see...

12. Is there some particular talent, skill, or attribute that they simply could not give up?

Phoenix would say it’s her ability to be kind. To be able to act with compassion towards other people, to be able to comfort or encourage. Making someone else smile gives a nice feeling to her, as well, and she’s always remembered her Auntie for her kindness. ^u^

20. Does your character like animals? What are some of their favorite animals? Would they want pets? What about mythological creatures?

BIRDABLES. SHE LOVES BIRDS. OF ALL TYPES. SHE WANTS A BIRD PET. She gets a chicken in book two it’s amazing.

Aside from that, Phoenix loves pretty much any animals! She’s a bit less inclined to like the gross ones, and insects kinda freak her out, but she finds scaly things neat, too. As for mythological creatures, do sirens count? XD They’re not really mythological in OSS, though. I mean. Phoenixes. Phoenix. Her name comes from somewhere, mate.

41. Does your character’s family affect your character in any way?

Phoenix’s family doesn’t actually come up much in the book aside from some passing comments to explain her backstory, except for her Auntie! Her Auntie unfortunately passed away a while before the story starts, though, so although there’s plenty of mentions of her, we never get to actually meet the lovely. .n.

By influence way, though, most of Phoenix’s entire philosophy is based on her Auntie’s teachings. It’s why she’s confident despite all the odd looks she gets because of her appearance, or the insults spoken behind her back. Her great aunt reinforced that truth that she shouldn’t care about the useless negatives that others think about her. That having the confidence in yourself and having that kindness is the most important of all, but standing up for yourself and others should never take a backseat. Phoenix still struggles with some of it, but you can tell she took it to heart~

48. Is there anything in particular that would ignite your character’s jealousy? Or does your character not get envious?

Oh gosh, uhhhh... Nixi is probably my least jealous character, actually. It takes quite a bit to spark it in her, and it tends to be more often that she feels ashamed of herself when others are “better” than her and she doesn’t like it.

Say someone really close to her is starting to interact a lot more with a new friend, and this takes up some of the time they normally spent with Phoenix? Nixi won’t feel envious, per se, she’ll unfortunately feel more like she didn’t deserve that person’s interactions and time as much as their new friend. Whenever she sees someone being way more skilled with... I dunno, baking? She’d try and take inspiration from it instead, but it’s much more common that she’ll feel disappointed in herself for not being able to perform as well than jealous of them.

It can seem like she’s quite competitive, actually, because of that. ^^’

Thanks for the ask!!

Happy Storyteller Saturday! :) I hope no one asked this before, but what element would you assign to your OCs?

Thank you so much, my friend! No worries on that one: no one has, as of yet, surprisingly. Since I have the Twelve Elemental Domains in Kingdom Come, I’ll use them: Fire, Water, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Healing, Death, Time, and Dimension. Some of my characters end up having power over some of these areas, but that’s more determined by bloodlined than personality correlation, so we’ll go with the latter here.

___

Royan Godewine’s element would be Time. Royan has been burdened with power over the advancement of time - an ability he never asked for or wanted. The tick of an eternal clock never stops inside his mind. He must always remain aware of what comes their way, what will not wait for them to unite their world and get their lives together. The Vault comes, ready or not. Only, right now? He would rather pretend everything can stay still. Just for a little longer.

Medea Brahim’s element would be Death. One of the only characters who starts with supernatural power, Medea lords over the domain of Death. A single touch can inflict disease, drain life force, or weaken the will. But beyond her actual acquisition of this power, Medea’s life has been shaped by death. The demise of her aunt, Hala, reformed her nation from top to bottom and eradicated her faith in the Sealed God. This transformation shaped Medea into the unstoppable force she is now, seeking to create her own pantheon of men-turned-gods - ones who would not let their people die.

Kasumi of the Shadow is, unsurprisingly, Darkness. As a Shadow, Kasumi spends most of her time in the dark - spying, sneaking, waiting. She has become so accustomed to hiding that she does not know who she is in the light! She knows the price of exposure in the limelight, and does not want to pay it anymore. Out of everyone’s elements, though, hers would be the most prone to change over time.

Farukh (Slave #400K)’s element would be Fire. Farukh is a wildfire, igniting the hearts of the oppressed and relighting hope they thought was long lost. But he’s also untamable, able to burn people when he’s not controlled, reined in.

Carmila Ramos’ element would be Water. Shocker, I know. But it’s not just a life by the open seas that’s made her this way. She’s tempestuous: calm one moment, and raging the next. Not necessarily with anger, but with a maelstrom of emotion nonetheless. She flows with whatever comes her way, not happily but out of need, forced to accept change even when she pushes against the riptides she herself caused. A lot of Carmila’s character arc is wrapped up in her not accepting that she is who she is, and I think the concept of her going against her own tides sums that up perfectly.

Oeden’s element would be Healing. A large portion of Oeden’s story deals with his inability to help or save others. He cannot heal his own condition, and his prophetic words only seem to doom those he comes in contact with. Despite the despair he sees in his dreams, he desperately wishes to spare the world and its people from their inevitable end. Oeden’s story deals with him coming to grips with the fact that healing comes in many forms, and it does not always come, for one reason or another. For him, or for others. But he can heal who he can, in the way that he can.
