disabled ocs!

Aria is autistic and has a wound on her arm that never fully heals. she has chronic pain from that, and if she is not careful, it could get infected and spread into other areas of her body. so she keeps it covered with tomb-colonist style bandages.

Alexandria has one eye (lost the other one to an infection as a child), and has chronic pain in his knees and elbows from years of manual labor on ships.

this one I haven’t talked about yet! Dexter has CVID, a primary immunodeficiency where his body doesn’t make enough antibodies in response to diseases. it results in frequent, recurrent infections, especially in the sinuses and lungs. Dexter doesn’t know what his condition actually is, since it’s primarily diagnosed with blood tests and this is the 1900s. but he does know he gets sick easily and often, and he is very careful to keep himself, his house, and his food clean in order to help mitigate that.

Metis has dyspraxia, autism, and chronic fatigue. dyspraxia is a disorder that impairs coordination, balance, spatial awareness, and motor skills. it makes typing difficult for them, but less so than writing by hand. they also have to plan their days very carefully, because their autism and chronic fatigue can interact a lot. sensory processing is exhausting!

Mr Morbid cannot fly, and relies on the Tower of Thorns for transportation around the high wilderness.

Charles gets migraines from the fingerkings still in his head that he doesn’t know about. he suspects he isn’t entirely free of their influence, but he has not ventured into parabola since his escape a few years ago, which he would need to do to confirm their presence.

Intro post: The Reclusive Wordsmith

Metis Rue (they/them) is a tomb-colonist who lives in the cellars of Old Newgate. They write mysteries, and Metis Rue was originally their pen name, but they have come to think of it as their real name. No one knows Metis’s given name.

Metis rarely leaves their home, and corresponds with their publisher mainly by letter. They are a talented and prolific writer, and their work is well-known throughout London and even in the tomb-colonies. However, they are agoraphobic and have severe anxiety about crowds, so they never make public appearances.

Metis finds speaking out loud exhausting, and prefers to write, even when communicating in person with someone. They can sometimes speak, but do not like to, and sometimes they lose speech entirely.

Metis writes both novels and short stories. Their short stories all take place in the same universe and intertwine to form a larger story, and their novels are standalone books.
