Jack Kirby Ruby-Spears Character Sketches

[oyeerps]

what are your characters relationships to others OCs? do you have a canon and OC pairing?

My dear child, are you in for a loooong story. Because I have like a shit ton of chars and I hoarded like 2-3 dozen RPs while I had more time to be active around these parts.

Here is a quick run down on my more frequently used chars. However if you’d like to hear more on others you’ll have to go in the OC master list and pick a specific OC for the ask. It also has a quick run down on relationships with other OCs. (unfortunately a lot of peeps I used to rp with had their rp-blogs deactivated or deleted mostly because of the recent purge… It’s really dismaying because a lot of RPs happened under read mores and now I literally can’t read back anything on my new laptop.)

Mi'Nerra - She is the alpha witch of these parts. She has a brother Aias and keeps 3 Probes as “cats”/personal assistants. Xonav and Min are exes and tolerate each other. Min is on a pretty good rapport with a bunch of Tal'darim. She is BFFs with Arashnul and lets her crash in her place. She is also okay with Ari’s boyfriend, Mazkalar, and kinda adopted their family. She is also on very good terms with Neveux (and I ship them, they are not together tho) and they work a lot together. Also, because Tremanix and Arsurus belong to her immediate social circle she looks out for them, because damn, are those 2 like to lost puppies/bunnies. She is mostly on neutral terms w other OCs who are mentioned here.

Xonav - He is a Shadowguard nerazim. He goes between sarcastic broody a-hole and goofie chill a-hole. He is dating Azuna and they have a doggo son named Prince Fluffers. He is BFFs with Aias and Immardar. Immardar is his go to prank-bread buddy in crime. He likes to bother Neveux, but otherwise he tries to stay neutral with him. He (prolly) knows a lot of Specs OCs and he is protective towards Arsurus and Tal'Shar (they live in his neighborhood).

Aias - is a good boy. A giant puppy who also happens to be a Zealot. Mi'Nerra is his big sister. He is BFFs with Xonav and I assume he is on good terms with Immardar and Azuna. He likes to be on good terms with people and be generally nice. He is Tremanix’s boyfriend and they are diabetes inducingly cute together. Because Xonav technically adopted Aias as a brother he also knows about Arsurus and co and as such feels protective about them. (I think there was something about him taking on Tal'Shar as an apprentice?) He doesn’t really mix with Tal'darim but he tries to stay on neutral terms with them.

I also have to mention Hedrak. He is a wierd, not so well made Protoss-Zerg hybrid. He is wolf papa to Arsurus because the kid once wandered off into the wilderness and ran into him and that’s when Hedrak’s Protoss part kicked back in. He protecc.

A thick, cloying heat had settled over Auir like perfumed fog. The endless summer heat competed with the endless summer rain, and the flowers bloomed as though winter had lasted a thousand years. Male mai-lur lizards gathered to the edges of rainforest lakes and rivers, crooning and posturing at whichever female might wander by, healthy ones becoming fathers and weak ones becoming dinners. 

 Arsurus was snuggled up next to Hedrak, ostensibly working on a maths module. The canvas tarp he'd needed Hedrak to help him string up kept the rain off their heads, and provided an excellent area for a group of sticky-bellied snakes to bask and consider eating the occasional passing insect. The rain had temporarily stopped, but the leaves still shed water as though it was the middle of a storm. Instead of the maths module he was supposed to be working on, Arsurus had his little notebook at the ready. Summer on Aiur was so vibrant, so full of things, that there was almost too much for him to record in a day! But he was nothing if not persistent, even at the cost of his mathematical education. And it was more fun to count real animals than it was to calculate the number of imaginary probes, in his opinion. 

 A little blue streak passed by them, almost too fast for Arsurus to see. He gasped, jumping to his feet as it vanished. He turned to Hedrak to try to point the streak out, but it was long gone by then. Arsurus tilted his head, his frantic alert dying before it even existed. Hedrak looked asleep. Arsurus supposed that on a hot day like this, sleeping was more fun than math. But he still wanted to know what that little blue streak was! He paused, considering something. There wasn't anyone else around, he didn't think. And Hedrak looked pretty firmly asleep. Arsurus rattled an empty can of juice to be sure, but Hedrak didn't stir. Arsurus didn't like being bad, but not being caught meant that he wasn't being bad, right? At least, he'd never gotten in trouble if no one had caught him. 

He rubbed his arms, looking around. There! The blue streak flashed by again. And this time, Arsurus was pretty sure that it wasn't a bug. That was important, because he didn't think this would work with a bug. Animals didn't really understand words, but that didn't mean that they couldn't be talked to, not if it was done right. Speaking loudly was scary to them, and they didn't understand some things. But if he was quiet, and he reached out to the blur and whispered to it just so... 

Do you want to rest over here? You can rest on me if you want to. Thank you. 

Arsurus stared intently at the quickly-moving blur, trying to track it without moving his head. A second passed, then another, and another. Finally, there was a rightness, like pressure being relieved from a valve. It had agreed! He stifled a laugh as the little blur darted at him, and two tiny feet grabbed onto his wrist. It was a bird, but it wasn't any sort of bird he'd seen before. It was very blue, surprisingly fluffy, and quite shiny, but so very small! He was pretty sure he had caught larger beetles for Skarath before. It cocked its head right back at him, nearly poking him with its long beak. It only stayed there a moment, before taking off and flying away somewhere. Arsurus gasped gently, watching it dart away.

He was almost sad that Hedrak wasn’t awake to see the pretty bird, but it was probably good not to get caught doing his quiet voice. Hedrak was definitely not Feralis, but she’d been very unhappy when she’d caught him doing it. Arsurus liked it when his friends were happy, and still friends with him. Even if he didn’t understand why his quiet voice was a bad thing, he understood that he didn’t need to get caught.

Hedrak to baby Arsu ✪

Arsurus looked up at Hedrak, grinning happily. Well, how was he going to get to Hedrak’s crest to return the crestbump? Maybe he’d need a box. Or a ladder? Wait. Maybe if he just… Climbed up Hedrak? That would work! Watch out, Hedrak, the smol is coming to give you many crestbumps.

A White Camelia to baby Arsu both from big sis Zunie's boyfriend and Dadrak! C:

The softest and most squeaky of gasps. Four people think he’s cute? Four of them? Really? Really really?

He can’t handle this. He’s got to give hugs. Watch out, here he comes!

Hedrak, why do you play with Arsurus? What happens if you slip up and eat him? Because you will, eventually. You're a hybrid. An abomination.

Hedrak understands the last two sentences. Yes, he knows that, those are facts. Why would anyone tell him that? It’s like… telling him he has a mouth like he didn’t know about it. Is that supposed to be an insult?…

And the rest of the message is an even a bigger dilemma. It doesn’t really make any sense to him, no matter how many times he presses the function on the tablet to read it up to him. He plays with Arsurus, because… why not? He likes the kid. But how in Khas’ name would the boy be suddenly be able to eat if he slipped???

This message is confusing. Actually, whom else could message him beside Arsurus??? (try someone else Anon, Hedrak is not very literate or proficient in spoken khalani at this point. Or make the questions shorter for him. XD)

[oyeerps]

Hey, Hedrak, aren't you afraid that you're going to hurt that cute little kid? Hybrid instincts and all?

Hedrak doesn’t fully understand that question. Those are too many words in one sentence for him. Afraid of what now? And hurt the what? Of course he is going to hurt other Hybrids if they come into his territory and act all uppity! As long as they can’t fry him from afar.

Wait did the Anon mean Hybrid kids? Why would he hurt pups of his own kind? Even if he goes blind and deaf, he could smell out one, not even talking about the psionic presence they would give off! Actually… he is not even sure if his kind can at all produce pups. He is pretty sure his kind is not supposed to exist. That shouldn’t be possible. He remembers that much.

Or did the Anon mean actual, intact, Protoss pups? He remembers sligthly that he avoided intact pups even when he used to be very angry all the time. But that topic makes him feel very uneasy. He doesn’t know why. He doesn’t want to think more about that. What was this altercation about anyway? Oh, never mind. The Anon looks pretty squishy and taste. And it has been some time since Hedrak ate something big and squishy. Anon should probably run now.
