I HAVE FINISHED ALL THE REFS
I ADDED STUFF AND CHANGED SOME STUFF
also a blank of ref sheet template at the bottom.
If you use the template idc if you remove the watermark or not, i placed it small and easy to remove on purpose, that part took me like 5 minutes.
THE OC LONG LIST THAT MADE ME WANT TO CRY THINGIE!!!!!
@fuzzydreamin this was so much worse than i anticipated. IM TAGGING NOBODY BECAUSE I HAD TO GO OUTSIDE AND SIT ON MY PORCH FOR 15 WHOLE MINUTES AFTER MY COMPUTER CRASHED AND I LOST THE WHOLE THING :D!!!!!)
HOWDY! AS of posting, I'm on my way to the airport and going to be traveling to wasteland weekend, and while my posting's already been a little erratic in the last few days its about to do that again lol. I might have time to do some stuff while hanging out at the airport and while in air, not sure about actually at the air bnb and shit, but whatever. so no promises, no guarantees, treat it like a Wishlist, drop an ask or two (fr idc) and i might draw something. I will even make memes. OK Das it for announcements
(Lmao i typed this whole thing up and then my computer fucking crashed, saving none of it, so take two ig.
Fair warning, I make more drug references than probably needed in this, and made a fun little list at the end for you all. There's def a bunch of spelling errors, sorry I dont have the time to fix it all. I've also jumbled details about all of them together because of overlap, so if you really want to know you have to read the whole goddamn thing) Ok have fun reading.

Jolt mostly manages money in the group, and all together they do pretty well.
Jolt is muscular, but he tends to over do it with training and fighting, occasionally skipping meals, definitly fit though. there isn't much of a caste system within the story, you've either got someplace to stay or you dont.
Jolt, like the rest of them, hasnt had a "proper formal education", but he's the most well written of the group, able to read and write in both spanish and english, as well as being fluent in both. His mathmatical skills are enough to get by with, simple maths. He's also read a lot of history books in his free time, so he knows a suprising amount of US history, not that most of it matters anymore.
Most of the time, the crimes he's commited have been done in places where it doesnt really matter- around other raiders, killing people in arena style fights, ect. He's not got the stickiest hands, but he's swiped a few things in his life. Over all, he's intimidating and skilled enough to swipe stuff without gettign caught.)

Before everythign happened, his family was a very close unit, definitly closer to his mother than his father, though. His father rough around the edges, but overall a good man. His mother wanted to make sure her kids were intelligent and capable, and enjoyed passing on information from her life, and her family, history, to them. His siblings and him were also quite close, often depeneding on him when his mother passed away.
Jolt's mother died when he was around 14-15, and his father passed away a few weeks before he turned 19, after which he left his siblings. Over time he eventually found himself tangled with a few people and groups but never really found a home until he was tangled with Bux, Keres, and Rikki. The four of them make up a somewhat weird but very close family.)

There a few things he forgets how to spell, and occasionally forgets words in english/spanish, but nothing outside the normal relm of someone who's bilingul. He's decently literate though, and enjoys reading and writting.
Jolt paints fequently and paints things like aniamls and plants to catolauge them, writing down information as he learns about them, either for saftey, hunting, or foraging, sometimes even receipes. He's not super skilled at it, and struggles to draw people, but it's still a hobby of his.
He's skilled with things like cooking, construction, and he's pretty good at taking care of weapons/ maintaining them. he's not great with machinery, things like cars and what not, he is decent at wiring though, and can hot wire cars in case of emergency. )

He doenst really drink to get drunk, maybe a little bit buzzed, tipsy at most, but over all just enjoys the warmth from alcohol.
Jolt smokes pretty regularly, often smelling like it too. Nicotine is one of the only things that helps his hands from trembling, but also makes it worse in the long run.
He's got pretty hardcore psycho addiction. while using he's either highly aggressive and manic, but often is subject to bad trips becoming emotional and mostly inconsolable. He also uses day tripper and marijuana, but less recreational and more medicinal, using them to manage his psycho addiction and mental health issues.
stimpacks, med x, rad away, rad x for all of them, jolt also uses buffout but like a pre-workout/training situation, often only taking half a dose. He also uses Calmex but as directed.
Jolt dies most of the cooking, cooking a lot of mexican and native dishes (or as close as he can get) so mostly things fluctiate from extremely healthy to very deep fried. He really enjoys spicy food more then sweet food, and his favorite foods are often served over rice, or fried. Some of his favorites are Pemmican (my mom made this a lot as a kid and its like a larabar with meat. highly reccomend), Tamales, and menudo (personally, i hate tripe, it makes me want to crawl in a hole and die, but my mom loves and says its very good for you.)
He's pretty stingy with money, budgeting everything, drugs, drinks, cigarettes, food, everything is included. Every so often he'll splurge on new spices or food, paint suplies, or on something as a surprise for Keres (which is usually new herbs or candles.) He also enjoys buying and trying unique cuts of food or veggies or meats he's never tried before.
as for gambling:
gambled once, and vowed to never do it again. He does do betted fights, but he's rarely lost a fight, picking his opponents carefully.)

Keres is intersex, and with their specific condition it isnt impossible, just highly unlikely. As for wanting kids, keres hasn't really been around enough children to know if that's what they want, basically raising Rikki and taking care of Bux pretty much fufills that need for them.
Keres had a close but strained relationship with their family, their parents being strict, but not rough or hateful. They chose to leave after taking in Rikki, seeing that their family wasnt really capable of feeding more people. Keres has five other siblings, none of which they're particularly close with. Over all like the rest of the group, its mostly a found family type situation.)

They spend a lot of time meditating, or crafting spells for the others, things like talismans and pocket spells.
Their over all belief is a bit similar to traditional Native American beliefs, celtic and/or norse paganism, and a few other things that have, like everything else in the wasteland, evolved or changed over time.)

Keres is mostly blind, having severe cataracts in both eyes. they could read previously, and with some aid still can. Jolt and Rikki often sit down and rewrite books using extra pressure so that keres can read the indents (like braille but none of them know it.) have several books they can use. Other wise, they are literate. they also know some spanish, not enough to be considered fluent, but enough to hold private conversations with Jolt right in fron to rikki and Bux.
Keres isnt the most technically skilled, they can sew decently well, can crochet and knit at alarming speed for someone with little to no vision, and again, despite being blind, makes a decent medic.)

On occasion, they may get a little tipsy, provided someone is there to help them get back home.
They enjoy the smell of cigarette smoke on other people, but not the taste of inhaling smoke. they've smoked before, but never really enjoyed it.
Keres smokes a lot of weed, but also has a decently high tolerance to it, rarely actually getting high. They dont have a lot of anxiety but they seem to be a bit inattentive without it. They also use Jet, a lot, it helps again from being disassociated, or over stimulated, using it to regulate themselves.
Most medicinal medicines keres uses are once they've made themselves, and are usually tinctures, teas or topical ointments. Keres loves anything Jolt cooks, being unable to cook themselves, rikki being unable to handle spices very well and Bux incinerating everything he "cooks". His style of cooking is nearly identical to their families' and Jolt's curiosity for trying new receipies is exciting to keres, as it mean flavor and textural variety. They enjoy savory and bitter foods, and also fermented dishes. Keres doesn't really have any particularly favorite dishes, but anything with seafood, jerky, or fried is likely to be enjoyed. All that being said, they won't eat anythign pre-war. Probably for the best.
Keres is not allowed to buy things. They will spend all their money on candles or yarn.
Keres has never had in interest in gambling, but is inexplicably good at dominoes.)

He was in school for a bit before his parents divorced, he father then pulling him out of school to work on the farm. Bux has probably the stickiest fingers of the group, he could steal an entire cart of stuff and not only would you not see him do it, youd have no idea where any of it went. )

Mostly melee, and using his terain to his benefit, prefering to ambush or corner people.
Bux can read, just not well or quickly; on top of needing to focus to read, he has no ability to focus, so he often seems illierate, but he's just a little stupid. He (and Rikki) only speak english, so hearing jolt constant swearing in spanish, or jolt and keres talking "serect older adult stuff" right in front of them is frustrating. Rikki's tried to pick up spanish, but picking it up from two affulent people (who aren't trying to teaching you) is harder then it looks (sounds?); Bux on the other hand, has chosen to ignore it.
Jolt is normally the one considered the artist of the group, and sure, when it comes to drawing plants and animals, he's better than Bux, but when drawing people Bux is usually better. Bux likes making more abstract desgins, anyways. He's maybe not the best with paint and paper, but he can tattoo something else.
On a technically level (on all levels except physical) Bux is pretty impressive. with machines, anyways. He seems to speak to the hardware, and know where it goes. software is a little trickier for him, which isnt saying much cause you could probably hand him a peice of technology he's never seen or heard of and be able to fix it after about five minutes of inspecting. ✧˖°.

He's so constantly high or drunk that the few times Jolt has seen him sober he's been genuinely worried. If he's able to come down from it all gracefully, he hits a major low pretty easily. Often mopey, quiet, avoidant, and typically irratable. If not, He's more likely to have a shakey, screaming meltdown. Keres and Rikki cant handle the meltdowns, and Jolt is freaked out by the mellow (even if his highs can be annoying) so the group does not prevent him from indulging in his habits. He'll pretty much drink whatever, smoke whatever, but in general, Jet is his drug of choice. Jet, weed, and maybe a little calmex (generously spared by Jolt at the request of Keres when they travel.) other than the occaisonally calmex, he's taking mostly uppers.
Bux enjoys a good bit of Jolt's cooking, but he's not a fan of the more 'explorative' dishes, and isn't quite accustomed to other culture's foods, so he can be rather picky. He however, will devour anything prewar, very happily. His favorite are the yum yum deviled eggs. Jolt has attempted to make him fresh, homemade, non irradiated, likely moldy, and properly seasoned deviled eggs, but Bux still prefers the stuff out of the box. He does think Jolt's pork n' beans is better, though.
While not quite as bad as Keres, Bux is also not allowed to spend his own money. He gets an allowance though. He enjoys gambling, too, so that adds on to the "List of Reasons Why." posted on the fridge by Jolt. He mostly spends on drugs or food, but will also spend on tattoo and pericing supplies, or bust it all gambling. He likes dice games, and betting games. He's not great at it. )

Med-x: Morphine Buffout: roids. Calmex: Ketamine. Daddy-o: Xanax or adderall. (Or something similar.) Day Tripper: LSD or shrooms but bottled for your conveinence. (some people say that day tripper is weed, going off the effects it could be, but i'd rather just have my characters smoking weed. )
OC Creation Asks: 1, 3, 4, and 12 for all
Jolt-
he changed a lot at one point, but he's always had electric ~abilities~ and he started with white hair and well, now he still has it. he's also always had blue eyes. When I orginally made him i just wanted a cool electric dude with white hair.
he's had a few names, but the name 'jolt' was because a friend made a joke "call him sparky, or jolt lol" and there we go. as for his real name, lucas valdez, I mostly just thought it sounded nice. lucas means "briger of light" and valdez has a few meanings but "brave" is the one i like the most.
I really wanted him out of all the characters to have been the most traveled, and to have been the one to actually understand the duality of the wasteland. areas that are desolete and obsolete, void and unforgiving, but aso places that are filled with life. I wanted him to be a traveler because it suits him, out of place in an out of place world.
being corrected by my grandmother for my admititly poor grammar in spanish. I dont show here everything and there are certain things ( mostly swearing, but i dont need help with that part lol) that i often struggle with in spanish. I grew up around people who didnt even speak english, so you'd think id be fully fluent, but i grew up speaking spanglish, which is both bad english and spanish grammar. :)
Bux
I wanted bux to be goofy and fun, light hearted but a little sinister. Like he seems fun and jovial buttheres something off about him, but i also wanted him to be creative and curious. I also wanted to make a character with some kind of black out tattoos.
Male rabbits are called 'bucks'. I thought it was fitting. His real name, Sawyer Kelly, hold no real meaning to his character, and again, i just liked it. It's Irish, and he's irish, a lot of people from west virginia are irish.
His father's farm. I feel okay spoiling this because even if i do bring it up later it's inconsequential to the plot, But his father ows the farm he lives on. its a small farming settlement that supplies a few local settlements, set away from them specifically to avoid raiders and pest animals from attacking and infesting settlements, and also to provide expansion room if needed. The walls of the farm are tall and looming, specifically designed to look like a prison.
his face, i can never draw it consistantly.
Keres-
I wanted a cool witchy character. I dont see enough of a sort of 'wasteland witch' aesthetic, and i also wanted a lot of nature to play in. apperance wise, their make up and outfit is almost exactly the same as the concept art.
I looked up cool witchy names on google. Keres is the name of these greek dieties/creatures that are supposed to be harbingers of death, but it also reminded me of kerosene. Talutah is a native american name, and it means 'blood' or 'blood red', Elsher means 'defender of men' and is irish. (keres is not technically soiux, they're meant to be inuit and irish, but i really liek the name talutah.)
pretty much the same as jolt, but on the opposite. where jolt is meant to be well traveled to iscolate him, keres is well traveled as a means to meld them with everything.
despite never posting it, i actually doodle keres all the time, they're probably the easiest of the 4 to draw for me. I would post more of my doodles but i often doodle on paperwork, and its often sensitive company info that i cant release so i dont risk it.
Rikki-
pig tails. I wanted her to be cute and fun. I also wanted her to stand out without doing anything special, so her design is intentionally (bland is not the word im looking for but idk how to describe it?)
I thought it was funny, and i had to pick a legal name cause of course i did.
Living with keres. I dont really show much of rikki's backstory both because its… a lot… but also because she doesnt need it. obviously it impacts her, but as previously mentioned shes the most mentally healthy of the group. without spoiling to much, living with keres is really the only freedom she's ever had, so essentially its the only life she knows, and fit into her surroundings well. ( now that im typing this im not sure i understand this prompt fully, and i hope these explanations actually make sense?)
she's a girl and i am not an ~expert~ at drawing women. I learned how to draw men from classic anatomy books, which typically show masculine musculature, and on top of that I don't have a lot of women to reference. ( nor would i ask them because asking a guy to pose for something, or posing myself is so much less weird then asking a woman to do it and i don't want to feel like a creep) and even though my a parents complain about all my characters being 'skinny' ( even though I've explained that for most of them like, jolt and bux, are constantly on the move and literally live in a wasteland where food is likely either scarce or toxic) for her its more than intentional. and again, I've learned to draw people based off books or the people around me, and all the women in my family are curvy or just as muscular as the men. So drawing a cute, skinny, white girl is not really something i have an abundance of in my portfolio.
2, 10, 14, and 24 for all 💖
this was far more depressing then i wanted it to be my bad lol
Jolt
Jolt has crippling anxiety. He hides it really well under a very thick layering of anger, sarcasm and apathy, but once it's stripped away he'd likely be prone to regular panic attacks.
Also, He's suprisingly great with kids. He's a great teacher and mentor, having a lot of expericence on his resume; and in 'pre-war' or 'irl' situation he'd probably have become a teacher or guideance councelor.
I have had Jolt in many AU's. He's been half dragon demon, a ghost, a zombue ghost, and also a cyberpunk mercenary. so i cant really think of many more AU's id like to put him in. ( this goes for all of them, rikki having had the least and jolt the most. Bux and Keres are actually split from the same oc, and you can see various peices of the them throughout the (many) years, if I could find my old sketchbooks.)
Cold and unfeeling. He wants to be preceived as a force to not to be reckoned with, something not to fuck with. He'd like his enimies and oppenents to be near pissing themselves at the sight of him.
If his parents never left the farm, or stayed in Arizona with the NCR, He likely would have stayed a farmhand, or possibly a trader. He would have probably lived a suprisingly normal life.
If he'd stayed with his siblings ( i cant spoil to much can I?) he'd still be with them, and again, would have had a surprisingly normal life with a slightly less traumatic past.
Bux
Bux is pretty open about all of his feelings, but he's got a very bitter side to him. he puts out a stupid goofy manic persona but he's very bitter and angry. maybe not the most hidden thing, I guess? but it's a very toxic, seething bitterness that if he didnt have any support or crutch would likely make Jolt's bitter persona look silly.
same again. I even made him an alien, twice. I'd say irl for him but ngl i basically ripped myself in half to make jolt and bux, so his irl life is basically just… my own… (farm, abusive parents, running away, drugs, mental health issues, its not really fun irl i guess?)
Depends on the person, he likes to be seen as a goofy funny guy to people he likes, but to people he doesnt he'd rather … not be seen by them.
When his parents divorced, (this comes up pretty early on so it's not much of a spoiler) he'd either have lived a normal life or still ended up with Keres and the others if his mother had taken him with her. ( btw by normal i mean as normal for that environment as possible)
Keres
Keres has the least amount of trauma of the enitre group. They still struggle, however. (lmao, me, with untraumatized characters? never.) hwoever, they have the healthiest coping mechanism, facing this stuff head on.
Keres never technically had a cyberpunk phase, nor a ghost phase. they were still a demon, when i split them and bux apart, and then later when i fused them back together ( and apart again) they remained the same. I'd love to speculate on an irl version of them though.
as a teacher or mentor, a guide. Alternatively, as an equal.
Keres' and Rikki's backstory are both pretty still un talked about by me, but without spoiling anything, Keres would have likely become a leader of their group. Their life would have still likely mimicked what it is now just more calm. (they kinda end up the same in every path.)
Rikki
this poor baby where to start? genuinly the most trauma of the entire group. (haha im so fuckin not sorry) she's the only one who genuinly uses drugs to medicate herself and not just to get high. She can't handle being cornered, confrontation, correction, it'll break her.
But she's also a suprising confidant. Her own pain makes her easy to vent to, and she'd keep any secret completely under lock and key.
10: same again. rikki was a ghost, demon, vampire, and while she was never technically made into a cyberpunky character i have others that kinda fill her place. still would like to see an offical version now. im not good with au's i guess?
14: happy and friendly. healthy, okay, fine, all good, nothing wrong.
If not for the events that led to her being where she is now she'd be dead. everyone else is on a 'dark' version of their own paths in this story. Rikki is on the best path her life could have gone.
