Meet my OCs!@masteredshadows
Check them out under the cut! I also added “theme song” as one of the “get to know this character!” points because I really like putting theme songs to my characters.
Erika Lindquist / Erika Justicar (League of Legends / our story)
our story is set in a post-apocalyptic universe, where the Blank Syndicate and the World Restoration Team are the two colliding powers who are both fighting for the chance to “recreate” the world. The two point of views? One believes in saving all humanity, and the other believes that only the strong survive. Most who do not have any affiliations with either group have a hard time surviving in the nuclear wasteland, and those who are “recruited” into either group are often used as mere puppets as a means to an end. The story is drafted to be written in three points of view: one from a loyal Blank Syndicate member, another from a loyal WRT member, and the last by someone who knows both stories (Erika). (I actually wrote the ideas for this before I really got into League lore. Many aspects of LoL!Erika is based on this story. xD)
Because Erika is technically from two different stories, the varying answers will be separated by a space, a back slash and another space.
Gender and Sexuality: cisfemale/pansexual
Pronouns: she/her (doesn’t really care)
Ethnicity/Species: Noxian / half-French, half-Swedish
Birthplace and Birthdate: Noxian Capital / the ruins of Paris; February 14th (17-18, 22+ in Erikaverse)
Guilty Pleasures: Talon, ice cream, blankets / blankets, a warm bed to sleep in.
Phobias: Swords (she caused Riven to fall into a coma by misusing Riven’s sword and her “Ki” powers), Noxians, drowning/water (she can’t swim), fire (Noxian invasion) / Swords (Dante Caspian murdered her brother, the wife, and kids with a giant broadsword made by her family - wait this story sounds familiar), the WRT (because that’s the group Dante works for), and flying (is a “lost” technology, which only the WRT has access to; she finds tall areas to be scary and “flying” is unimaginable to her - she only thinks of falling).
What They Would Be Famous For: “She’s as much of a coward as her disgraceful older sister - that damned Noxian Guard captain.” / The youngest Blank Syndicate member, and the first deserter to get out alive.
What They Would Get Arrested For: mun looks at Vi and Caitlyn. / “Arrest” is a word which implies there’s a government in this story. There is no government, only two conflicting powers, which, I suppose, have their own “government” or laws. She would be “arrested” (more likely: executed) for deserting the Blank Syndicate.
OC You Ship Them With: Dante Caspian. I ship LoL!Erika with Talon, obv.
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Rhea. [ @noxiancookies ] / Dante Caspian. I have a lot of ideas for an amazing hate/love relationship, which is why, when transferring Erika to the League of Legends universe, her background made sense as a Noxian who just doesn’t fit with the city-state’s ideals… also because Talon’s a total asshole to her. It’s reminiscent of Dante’s tsundere ways, though Dante’s a deceiving womanizer with a lot of leeway, rather than a mangy gutter rat who more or less fought for his position.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Romance, fantasy. / “What.”
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: “IT ISN’T ALWAYS A HAPPY ENDING!” / “What?”
Talents and/or Powers: Used to be a swordsman on track to be as great as Riven, if not for the accident which scarred her for the rest of her life. She eventually gained skills in using wrist/pistol crossbows, though her blade skills are much better than her crossbow skills. Even in the face of adversity, she rarely shows any emotions other than happiness. / Her strength lies in her ability to wield swords, and she’s especially known to both the Blank Syndicate and the WRT as someone who can effectively dual-wield swords/blade-like weapons. She’s also quite famous for her ability to learn quickly and adapt in the midst of battle.
Why Someone Might Love Them: Her endurance is quite endearing, and her ability to get under your skin and crawl into your heart might make a few mangy gutter rats fall in love with her. / Dante would probably say #same if the Internet existed in that universe.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s irritating and annoying, and she has a know-it-all attitude, even though she’s quite young.
How They Change: Noxus isn’t as perfect as she and her sister thought it was, and she finds herself emotionally stronger after the many ordeals she had to defeat. She wants revenge. But it won’t necessarily heal her heart. She may never forgive Talon, but she’ll overcome her Noxian roots. / The Blank Syndicate isn’t as perfect as she believed, and her thirst for vengeance quickly subsides after finding out what Dante and the WRT are truly up to. She may never forgive Dante, but she knows that killing him (at the moment, at least) isn’t what she needs.
Why You Love Them: This post still very much applies.
Theme Song: A Walk After the Rain (Yuffie Kisaragi’s vocalized theme song) - Manami Kiyota and Nobuo Uematsu
“Pim” Leon Strauss (Cost of Freedom)
Gender and Sexuality: problematic cismale/heterosexual
Pronouns: he/him
Ethnicity/Species: German
Birthplace and Birthdate: Cologne, Germany; January 11 (27)
Guilty Pleasures: He really really likes cats and ice cream.
Phobias: hA PHOBIAS THIS GUY’S A TOUGH COOKIE. His phobias include bankruptcy and not being able to find his younger sister, whom he was separated with when she was only eight years old.
What They Would Be Famous For: He wouldn’t be remembered in history for any… positive traits. He’d be the kind of character who makes a relevant change/sacrifice, but be seen as an antagonist in the eyes of the public.
What They Would Get Arrested For: mun laughs. Human trafficking. That’s literally his underground occupation, other than being the owner of a popular hotel. His secondary “trade” is to offer human traffickers a sort of “safe spot” from the law, and he does this in order to help pay for his brother’s cancer treatments. Though he is the owner of a hotel which racks in a lot of cash, his father, was in debt before he passed, so he pretty much gave all of his hopes and dreams to help his family in other, more shady ways. But there's no way the police would catch him with the sorts of connections he has...
OC You Ship Them With: Athena Ackerman, the woman he bought off the human trafficking market that he created under his hotel. Yup. Wait, what? Spoilers? Nah, they aren’t. Athena pretty much changes his heart. shrugs at the cliche.
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Athena Ackerman; she’d love to, but she honestly couldn’t lol. I’d say the pimp/gangster called “Helios” has the best chance to wrangle Pim’s neck, though only if Pim’s bodyguards aren’t around.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Nonfiction, mainly history books.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Anything supernatural-related.
Talents and/or Powers: He is a charming person, and his persuasion skills are pretty high, which, I assume, is necessary for his businessman sort of role. He is quiet, calculating and always observant of everything that goes on around him, and one of the most important points is the fact that (almost) none of his workers knows how he looks like, not even his secretary. No one knows who he is, how he looks like, nor why he is still the owner of the hotel. His business deals are either carried out by his most trusted advisers, who keep his secret safe (Xiang Lăohŭ, Irene Vos Jäeger, Shiro and Kara Yukimura, Byron Lacroix, and, by cirumstances, Athena Ackerman), or himself, under the name “Pim.”
Why Someone Might Love Them: Ummmm… Ask Athena. I honestly don’t know. It’s probably that whole, “there’s a heart under that exterior” but this character actually hasn’t been fully developed… I would think that he’s Talon-like, where he shows he cares in the oddest, but endearing of ways. He doesn’t work in the human trafficking business for his own benefit - he’s been trying to get out of it as soon as possible, but he’s just stuck with his step-father’s problems.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: He’s a strong businessman and can ruin the careers of some people, and, as someone who works with human traffickers, there are clearly people that he’s affected; maybe he separated families, or caused some painful experiences for others…
How They Change: He opens his heart. Just a little bit.
Why You Love Them: He was one of the first characters I created, even before Erika, who captured a piece of my heart, waaaaaay back in 6th grade. (The other is K Cross ;) .)
Theme Song: Drops of Jupiter - Train
