OC Inspiration meme!!

@lady-quen ty for the tagg >:3c No pressure tags for @lynxfrost13 @uneclipsing @charico @beanswithbones and @manasurge

I dont have enough inspirations per character to fill out the meme so I'm doing this text style instead! My primary inspirations for this entire crew came from Genshin Impact, a sort of accidental challenge to take inspiration from my other fixation at the time for all the characters that'd go on my EU alt. Esyld's is Ningguang/Beidou I can't remember who I settled on having the stronger vibes in Esyld's design, but I know Ningguang was first, for her hidden in plain sight information-empire. Her love of money and her cunning. The refined "don't fuck with me" first impression. Although Esyld is far more genderfuckey and rough around the edges in design than Ningguang is.

Iniss' is Wriothesley for his visual design. They have a very similar look and style. Personality wise, I think Iniss still matches him but it's reserved for known people and close relationships, not strangers. They're very no-nonsense very focused. I've also taken Wriothesley's health trade abilities for Iniss, connecting it to a "can't die" thing they have, and chronic health problems. I'll elaborate sometime in an Iniss-specific post!

Arlais' is Arlecchino now. She's also VERY Mei Mei from JJK for her dedication to money and nothing else. Arlecchino for the visual design and general mannerisms and decorum. Arlais is a ranger whose pets are the uncared for street animals of lion's arch that passed away, now having a new second and better chance at "life" by Arlais' side. They're a lesbian with disdain for just about anyone and everyone except animals and those deemed, "worth my time."

Miyake Yuuji's is Kamisato Ayato for his personality, visuals, and demeanor. theyre almost the same guy. Yuuji is way more "Off-Putting Autistic" though. He's Kirari's sister, the one who got her adopted into his family too. Yuuji is the "documents" manager of their little syndicate. He causes trouble amongst the found family with Kirari.

Miyake KIrari's is Yae Miko and kitsune folklore it's self! Being a chaotic neutral mists demon herself, she hid as a shrine guardian in cantha for god knows how long before getting bored and hitching a ride to Lion's Arch for something new. She was acting very "strangely" and inhuman amongst the people, Yuuji met her and thought "Hey! She's a lot like me!" finding out she needed somewhere to stay, getting along so well, being a similar age* he asked his family to take her in. They reluctantly obliged, surprised to find that Kirari doesn't cause any trouble at all in the family's estate. They're just about the only ones she fully respects, she doesnt even disrepect Yuuji all that much despite being siblings. Her inspiration are Tricksters, Kitsune, and "Be Careful What You Wish For." Yae Miko is her inspiration for visual design mostly. Her abilities are similar though.

All of them share combat styles with their genshin counterparts/inspirations. Esyld is a Revenant who veers the farthest from Ningguang's combat style, with her being a catalyst type. Though as I type this maybe playing Ningguang in the future will change that ovo Iniss is literally Wrio they have the exact same close combat hand-to-hand style including the catalyst "imbued magic" from Genshin. Ingame Iniss is a thief, in lore i may allow them some cold death type magic in relation to that curse they have. Arlais is a ranger as previously stated but she absolutely fights like arlecchino and that sexy scythe. Yuuji is an elementalist he's 1-to-1 with Ayato Kirari is very hit-and-run mesmer she's a bit like Yae Miko but slightly to the left despite the similarities. rari is also not above going feral kitsune-demon-form mode. <3

TEMPLATE FOR THE ONES I TAAAGGED

[the-desert-beast]

WHAGT IFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAGT IFT!!

A none gender left beef revenant and her brother started a secret black market organization that was super secret, very small, and exceptionally influential in lion's arch's underbelly.

Esyld (she/it/any, any honorifics.), once named Laoise, became bored and exasperated by her people's attitudes, by the stifling rules of that dusty old tablet their mother so loved. She left for the nightmare court, dragging her brother Iniss (they/them pronouns, masculine honorifics.) along, though they weren't exactly invested in the court. They were not sad to leave the grove behind either, however. Esyld would grow tired of the court's demeanor as well quite quickly, leaving once again with her brother Iniss in tow, to Lion's Arch. She changed her name from Laoise to Esyld.

Esyld stands at 5'9" feet tall, heavy with fat and muscle.

Iniss stands at 6'6" feet tall, with the muscular build of a boxer.

@aetherblooms HI !! (: your choice!! 💎, ❓, 👑, 💢

👑 - Person who raised your OC and/or was important during their formative years

Maelgwyn; Zefiro was his mentor & older brother figure for years and they're still best friends to this day. Zefiro taught him everything he started with and pulled strings to get maelgwyn on his feet, ready to tame that legendary title he hungered for, for years. Maelgwyn would kill anyone to keep Zefiro safe, he's family. Somewhere in his heart he'd betray the ones closest to him for Zefiro, they're that close. Thankfully nothing will ever come to that.

❓ - Estranged family/relatives they've never met

Louis Ebonpromise: Since he was orphaned very young there's plenty about his biological family he doesn't know and never will. He was too young to remember well, his family were commonfolk, deep in the woods in a small village mostly ignored by divinity's reach. If he ever wanted to find out about his own bloodline it'd be extremely difficult. He has an aunt or uncle, or two, out there somewhere. He'll likely never meet them. Most likely they're living as commonfolk themselves in another village somewhere in kryta, one or two of his unknown relatives is in divinity's reach it's self somewhere.

💎 - Chosen family (including warband)

The Black Wolf Brewery is made up of five misfits who have no one but eachother. Esyld & Iniss founded the syndicate, later taking in the Miyake Siblings and Arlais. Esyld and Iniss woke up, pale tree's children, at similar hours. They became close quickly, finding the other saplings liked the two of them less. They've chosen eachother as sister and brother, through thick and thin they'll suffer it all together, there is no other option. Miyake Yuuji & Kirari are also adopted siblings, yuuji connected with the mists demon "kitsune" quickly. their dynamic is very "one of them is a chaotic demon from another realm entirely and the other is autistic. good luck figuring out which is which" because I loved that idea i think its fun and amusing. They're smarter than they seem. Arlais, much as she hates other people, would never let harm come to the brewery; they pay her too well, and, as she loathes to admit- Iniss & Esyld are an awful lot like the younger siblings she lost years ago. Arlais refuses to ever reconnect to the dream, she has no interest to know if they themselves are the ones she lost. It makes no difference. Iniss and Kirari regard eachother in a very close knit friendship, theyre joined at the hip when yuuji isnt around. it's something like two step siblings that get along just grand. Arlais can stand Esyld, iniss is a close second, and the other two are on thin ice at all times. esyld and arlais share expensive tastes, regarding eachother as powerful equals- independent, equals. Esyld knows arlais has a good chance of betraying them if anyone else with deeper pockets takes notice of her. But they both know that arlais is lying when she says she's only there for the money. Yuuji and Iniss have an estranged little and older brother relationship. it's playful, distant, and neither really understands the other one but they're glad that their sister gets along with the both of them.

💢 - Person they can't stand

Marshal Belial Soulshatter wants to fistfight ryland in a denny's parking lot next question

okay but genuinely? I dont have an answer idk im not a opiniated person until im actually pissed off + all my ocs dont really have enemies or hatred for anyone else. im genuinely racking my brain trying to find an answer.

i have to be forgetting something i said previously.

oh wait i know how i can answer this

Morven and Llacheu despise eachother. Which is very confusing to every one around them because the two only ever choose the other's company. As if their fights, disagreements, so on and so forth, are normal conversation for them. They are not enemies to lovers they are enemies and something very deeply undefined and disorganized. Llacheu can't fucking stand the way Morven looks down it's nose at them. The way it chides them for every single damn mistake. The condescension, it's enough to drive even "the prince of the tree"* mad! *(derogatory nickname given to kynwyl by llacheu.) And Morven regards Llacheu as utterly inept, a true waste of their mother's blessings and inner potential. Spending all of his time in resentment, bitterness, those toothless insults that even a newborn sapling could parry. Llacheu, to it, is a bug that must be studied and picked apart at the seams with every little insult, jab, snide remark, and cold, fixating gaze. They are truly a match made in hell. "they match eachothers freak to a degree that is dangerous to the public."
