say more about richard and annie right now

-🍉

hehehehe im so glad you asked >:3c

they're my ocs from an original fiction project of mine that i love so so so dearly. the short version of the premise is that a sci-fi rapture-esque apocalypse happened that made all "good people" disappear, and earth is left to fester and rot as only sinners/bad people are left alive

richard is a nomadic survivalist who makes and smuggles weapons and people. knives/blades are his specialty, but his true passion is in woodworking. he's ex-military, dishonorably discharged after he refused to follow orders and kill a child overseas. if you need protection getting somewhere in the apocalypse, he's your man. he spent his entire life trying his best to be a good person, so he took it pretty hard when he wasn't deemed worthy and was left behind. he's so so strong and capable and he tries to be so tough to protect himself from the harsh world outside but inside he's small and he's scared and he has no idea what he's doing, and he's terrified that oh god, he's gonna get this kid killed, isn't he?

annie is a spoiled preteen girl who was born into a rich and affluent family. her entire family disappeared because they were deemed worthy of saving and she was the only one left behind, and no one knows why. all the other children were deemed innocent enough for salvation, why wasn't she? what sins has she committed? did she yell too loud at mom? did she cry too hard at church? she's a cute little thing and i love her so muchhhhh </333 she's chatty and annoying and stubborn and *definitely not* a bad person - just very sheltered and ignorant since she grew up so cushy. she wants to learn more about the world around her and do her part to survive, she just doesn't know what the hell she's doing half the time so she just comes off as bratty.

they have a super cute reluctant father & daughter relationship and i love them so muchhh.... they're also sooo tragic too because they have such vastly skewed perspectives of each other. rich thinks she's too small to do anything on her own, and annie desperately wants to prove herself to him at any cost. annie thinks that richard is such a mature adult when he really just feels like a scared little boy pretending to be a man. and they bicker and they smile and they fight for each other and they betray each other and oughghhhh guhhhh oobhhhh my Characters my Critters augh.

thank you for letting me yap about them ily <333

... is this a safe space to admit that i think tanlorin is a SA victim, albeit in a much more allegorical way than sharp?

this is mostly wrt them getting their tattoos being a slow, painful, and violating process, and their aversion to mages who want to study them. it could also be a partial explanation for why they seem to get around a lot, almost like a coping mechanism to go along with their alcoholism. so unlike sharp, they aren't a literal victim, but they've still had that incredibly traumatizing experience of being violated.

how ironic would it be to get a tanlorin tattoo

type conversations I had with one of my best friends in grade 5

I dunno if we were like testing out our new shiny ability to use curse words or if we just felt the need to call the other a bitch every two seconds but? Me and him were very odd
