OCs and Tattoos

It’s been almost a year since I’ve last written here, but as I finish up my Dulcedomum app and details... it also made me think of other characters that I had thought that Annie and the Harts might know in that universe. It also helped me think about characters outside of that universe, too. 

So here’s a relaunch post regarding tattoos. 

Annie: Annie’s only tattoos are her pact marks. So they’re not actual tattoos, but I thought that they would count. For now, she has 3 yellow dots under each eye. Thinking into the future and how I might set her up for a pact with an Earth spirit as her 2nd, her next tattoo may be somewhere on her torso. They’d be shaped like fangs or a shark bite along her shoulder or her stomach. LAB (Little Ankle Biter) is shaping up to be a 

Mint: She has 4 tattoos. Stars on both sides of her neck, an elephant on the side and under her ribs, and a crosshairs over her chest. That last one she got after a very bad breakup when she was in her late teens and it brings up memories of Bon Jovi’s “Shot Through the Heart.” 

Marcos:  Who would be a Praetor and comes from a long line of Praetors who have met an untimely end, has either the full Psalm 23:4 or just “Psalm 23:4″ tattooed somewhere on his body. It might be over his heart or on his bicep. I think his parents were religious. If/ when he gets married, he’d also be the type to have a blank band tattooed to his finger.

and that’s how far I’ve gotten because I’ve gotta finish up Christmas shopping.

I’m sick and trying to ride this out. I also missed drawing some of my OCs. I may redraw this one but for now have a Mint/Mintessa. I’m still getting used to the name change.

Speaking of religious and spiritual practices, I have a variety of characters who consider their practices an important part of their lives, but most don't consider it an important part of their lives or they're atheist.

Lynette's probably the most obvious in her religious practices as she was a Roman Catholic nun. Same thing for Sister Alexandrie who helped to raise Lynette. 

Mint's A.M.E. and just keeps religious holidays in mind and attends church. It's sort of the same for Francis' family. 

Nadeya is Muslim and depending on the universe it has a major part in her life decisions. Most of the time though she's non-practicing. 

Shizue, in some universes, is a practicing Buddhist. 

Jyotsna was raised Hindu but, as she grows older, she's an atheist. Depending on the universe and her relationship with her parents, she still practices for the sake of pleasing them. 

Anastasia borders on atheist a lot of the time. Her parents don't have any practices aside from whatever wizard ones that could be considered spiritual. 

Wendy does not follow the traditional Sicangu Oyate Lakota practices as she grows older. 

On the other hand, my other native characters Tuwa (Hopi) and Sakari (Inuit) do in some form. 

Jane is Wiccan. 

Depending on the universe, Kiana's practices vary or sometimes she's an atheist. 

Marcos and Desiree were raised Catholic, but as they grow older they're atheist. 

Ayawa's agnostic.
