i made a fanart of these 3 bc they are my blorbos. now, i shall yap about them about their impact on me
Firstly, I started playing AC3 back in 2020. Ratonhnhaké:ton was such a lovely character especially when I played the homestead missions. I loved his interaction with Maurice where he was head over heels for Myriam, Ratonhnhaké:ton went "We all like her." and Norris was like, "Not like that, Connor" then he realized what he meant AND I LOVE THE FACE HE MADE HE WAS SO CUTE MAN. That scene is my core memory. Anyways, because of him, I was inspired to make a Katipunera Assassin, Emilia Salvacion who renamed herself "Malaya" after joining the Kalinga Brotherhood in the Northern Philippines.
I almost forgot, I went with the Animal Spirit outfit cuz that DLC storyline is more "fantastical" kinda like Kahhori and Olrox. I mean, he can summon wolves and turn invisible so of course I'll put the Animal Spirit Connor next to a Tesseract-powered woman and an elusive snake man.
Speaking of...
MY SHAYLA!! MY SHAYLAAAAAAAA!! I AM SO OBSESSED WITH THAT SNAKE MAN YA'LL PROBABLY ALREADY HAD A CLUE WHEN I POSTED QUETZALCOATL I WAS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH WHILE I WAS DRAIWNG HIM!!!
While obsessed with him, I realized I have a type. My childhood crushes were Raven and Blackfire from Teen Titans, and any goth character with straight black or purple hair. Holy shit. Am I into purple people???? (not purple guy tho im not a fnfaf fan)
Anyways, he's another Native American character that inspired me to make a Filipino character. This one's name is Dayaw, my aswang OC that I have yet to talk about. Here is an artwork of him.
[insert that one meme about Dr. Doofenshmirtz and 2 nickles]
The fact that I only learned recently that some people call us Filipinos the "Mexicans of Asia" made me go even crazier for my aswang boy and my favorite snake man. It's like if I put them in a Venn diagram it's a PANCAKE. THEY ARE SIMILAURRR with a few differences
Lastly, Kahhori. Another Kanien'kehá:ka character that I fell in love with. I couldn't yap enough about her in my Twitter post so I will do it here. Her powers, her abilities, her determination, she as a person in general and the fact that she came back from the Sky World to save her people- OOOOAAAUUGHHHHH I LOVE HER
My ancestors would've loved to have those powers, man. Because wdym you can blast off colonizers with sick blue powers that go boom boom?? I want that!!
Unfortunately, I don't have a Filipino OC based on her so no we are not getting a 3rd nickel today boys (gender neutral)
HOWEVER i am currently thinking about making a Mohawk vampire OC that I named "Night Lady" cuz I'm basing her off of the Sky Woman from the Iroquoian creation stories
