My OCs for my scifi story that is snowballing in my head! I haven't been doing a lot of fandom stuff cause these guys are all I can think about. You are more than welcome to ask me questions about them, they have so much lore in my head and I wanna share it with the world!

- on the 22nd of march 2021

- at kashvi’s apartment 

Earlier, Ginny had slid the thin silver cuff shut with a satisfying click click click and wondered how often other people handcuffed themselves to red leather briefcases. Now, she feels the tug of the skin warmed metal against her wrist as she makes her way up the street towards Kashvi’s apartment building. It’s half for show and half real. She is, after all, carrying enough gems to buy out the entire block, but Ginny is not afraid of someone trying rob her. The good thing about being a very good thief is that Ginny is renowned and any criminal worth their salt knows not to bother her.

Ginny blows a piece of her red wig out from her eyes and does what she always does before a job- she runs through the plan. She’s wearing glasses and a red wig. Her name is Ella Lee. She owns a small fluffy white dog and lives in an apartment in central London. She’s a freelance jeweller and gemstone broker. She speaks in a light welsh accent. She’s here to bug Kashvi Singh’s house. If she’s quiet she could almost imagine hearing them rattling around in her purse, each one hidden in a pill casing sitting in a bottle of Advil. Each one costing 200 euros and acquired from a very paranoid contact. 

Ginny buzzes in and waits for the intercom system to broadcast her chipper face to Kashvi. “Hi!” She says when the connection goes through, “I’m Ella? We had a meeting scheduled for today for me to show you some pieces?”

“The wild child! Great splashin’ friend!” Kashvi declares with great gusto! “Ah! To be that young again! Oh, forget the formalities, that lady makes me feel like a young ol’lass! Had a good swim with her and ain’t never felt better!” Kashvi beams with the strength of ten young men; her hands resting upon her hips in a powerful pose. “Would love t’have more fun with her again! Maybe she’d love t’go dancin’ sometime! Hiran makes friends will all the greatest musicians. A good toot o’his head and they join in a duet. Bet she ain’t seen an old lady get down quite like me!”

Kashvi wiggles her rump around with twisting arm motions before settling into a calm chuckle. “And the best thing after a good dance party is some good food! Know a fella that makes the tastiest rice pilaf… mmm! Give the lass a treat and ruffle that ol’fox’s hair tuft. A wondah how a spirit like hers got to be matched with such a grump.”

Oh okay, you've twisted my arm ;) I was gonna ramble anyways. Info under the cut!

So the basis of the story, for some quick context, is that its a new world settlement narrative. Earth is severely over populated and simply cannot house as many people as there is, so since technology and science can allow it, they decide to expand to the stars ✨️✨️✨️ and send out a bunch of settlement missions. A lot of the people on these missions chose to be there. They signed up and understood the gravity (pun intended) of what they were doing, that they'd never be able to come home. But they needed to fill a certain amount of roles and quotas for these missions and when people stopped volunteering, they filled these roles via draft, a population lottery. So not exactly everyone wanted to be there.

Here's some info on my blorbos!

Scuttle is the og oc for this. He was the first fella in my head. (Idk why he's named Scuttle, its probably a nickname that stuck but i havent thought of an actual name for him yet lmao) He's a mechanic who signed on voluntarily. His grandparents, who took care of him and raised him after his mother was gone, had passed away and he was needing some drastic change in his life, lest the grief consume him. So without really thinking, he signed on for the settlement mission as a mechanic. Since he has a degree and a passion for it, he got accepted pretty easily. Admittedly, he shouldn't have passed the medical (he's disabled, has a prosthetic leg after an accident) or the psychological (was doing this for the wrong reasons (to get away from his problems)) but the organisers were desperate for people and he was quite qualified so they overlooked it. He's still happy with his decision, even if he misses home a lot sometimes.

He's kind of a short king, stocky and densely built with muscle. Rocks a mullet, is also a natural ginger.

This is Paxton! He goes by Pax tho. He was an army grunt who took a transfer opportunity to join the defence regiment for the settlement missions. Hes part of the security and defence team in charge of keeping the settlement safe from any hostile life forms on the new worlds that may pose a threat. Spoilers, he gets pretty fucked up by a bear-type alien and, after he's rescued, gets medically discharged from the defence/military team and transferred to a much easier and less stressful job after hes recovered. He ends up worked in the agricultural field, but moreso just keeps to himself tending to a few of the planet's native flowers. He makes some real strides and figuring out how propagation and such work on the planet.

Him and Scutt have kind of a thing going for a while but its not until after his maulling that he really starts to rely on Scuttle's support and they become more of a serious romantic couple.

Pax is tall and lanky, had a lot more muscle on him from his military/defence days but after the maulling, he drops a lot of that and slims down. He has a cute little gap in his front teeth <3

This is Kashvi! More often referred to as just Kash tho. She's the resident smartypants. A desi girl who graduated from university with a major in biology, when she went to further her education (probably headed towards a doctorate or smth) when she was offered a full ride scholarship/opportunity to join the settlement mission on the science team due to her outstanding work. It was a lengthy decision making process but inevitably the deciding factor was that the scholarship included accommodation for herself and her immediate family, meaning they could all come with her. They collectively decided to relocate and join the settlement mission. She then got taken under the wing of the science team and began her training and study in becoming a xenologist (thats the term ive been using anyways ahah idk if there's a better one?? For like, the study of alien life).

Her family kind of adopt Scuttle since him and Kash are very similar ages. They become his family and he has a sibling dynamic with Kash. She also spends a lot of time with Pax post his injury since he has first hand experience and information on the wild life, they form somewhat of a friendship that is only deepened when Pax realises how close she is with Scuttle. Kash, like Scuttle, tends to overwork herself. So the two of them make sure to remind each other to take breaks and drink water and sleep, even if they themself don't follow their own advice lmao.

Now finally we have Leisha. She Does Not want to be here. She was one of the unlucky people who got conscripted/drafted via the population lottery. She is here completely against her will and is not happy about it one bit. She's the newest of the four and is still earlier in development than the rest so she's not as grounded. She's got some very justified and valid anger issues about the whole situation. Spends a lot of her time, along with other conscripted people, trying to forge a plan on how to get back home, but its millions of light years away.

I'm not certain exactly what her role in the settlement is yet. She grows quite close to Kash, it's unintentional but turns out having a friend is good for her. Kash kind of makes this whole situation liveable. Leisha takes interest in her work and quickly takes a more romantic interest in Kash. She's a bit of a bad influence on Kash but in turn Kash is good for her <3

I love all these lil goobers so much and they are quite literally all I've been thinking about lately. I'm so down to answer questions about them if y'all have any <3 I've been doodling them a bunch so I might do a doodle dump at some point. I'll do more fandom stuff eventually but I'm riding this out right now :)

Tagging some people who may be interested: @catstrophysics @sephieblue @calkale @yeah-w-r-i-t-e

Edit: i do have a little tiny discord server for these guys, just to organise my thoughts and ramble about them in there, so HERE IS THE LINK if you wanna come hang out perchance

🔍 For Edward~

“Oh, I see...” Kashvi can contain the few snide chuckles escaping her lips. After a moment she settles into a comforting smile and dismisses any doubt with a kind wave of her hand. “When I first met m’husband, I thought the lug was so selfish. Didn’t pay me mind, no one mind, and just kept to himself with a grouchy frown. But I was a persistent woman! We frequented each other a lot, both bein’ blacksmiths and all, and the poor thing always had little to no food about him.” Kashvi lets out a soft hum at the memories.

“Truth was, he didn’t want t’bother no one with his problems. Was afraid he’d cause more harm than good in them so he didn’t want to try. Always wondah’d, early on, why he felt like he didn’t deserve some love himself and made life harder.” Kashvi shrugs. “But, that’s just an old lady spoutin’ some tales. If ya ever feel like ya don’t want to try, just hop along t’m’stall. I bake every day and got plenty o’warm blankets!”

With that, Kashvi gives a final wave with a smile before walking off to tend to her business.

👫 Will and Kashvi

1) She's the cool alpha. He loves the other alphas in Calamity, but they are not as cool as Kash. She's also more fun then the rest, even if she doesn't always agree to go along with Will's shenanigans. He refuses to claim favorites.

2) Will worries that Kash takes things too seriously. He knows that she faces a lot of responsibility which is why he attempts to keep things light whenever they are together. He will go out of his way just to see her smile.

3) To this day, William refuses to reveal the details of what occurred on the blind date Kash set him up on. Will had a good time, but there is a reason there was no second date.

4) They have tried to give one another 80s style makeovers. William walked out looking like a heartthrob of old. Kashvi looked exactly the same but with a hat. He thinks that she is perfect just as she is. Although he did sneak in a very cute pink dress for her to take home.
