I would personally love to hear more about Ohm, I like his story so far. I can't wait for that animatic
asgjgsdkfvsdjfv you have no idea how much it means to me to know that you like my OC enough to want me to infodump about them hhHHH
OK SO MORE OHM STUFF (and Lepiden stuff because I’m really enjoying developing this entire culture/society jhasvljfha) UNDER THE CUT
Being non-dependent on a PAK for their vital functions, Ohm has a lifespan more reminiscent of early Irkens, which is much closer to a human lifespan. Early Irkens and modern Lepidens have about a 95% chance of reaching 100 earth years old, and a fair number of them reach their early 120′s. Ohm is about 22 earth years old. Isa is 23 Earth years old.
Lepiden society is a direct ‘fuck you’ to Irken society so where Irken society is very militaristic, rigid, emotionless, and controlled, Lepiden society is based on freedom of expression, creativity, unity, and compassion. The freedom of expression/creativity aspect is directly reflected in the fact that no two Lepiden cruisers are the same– Lepidens make their own cruisers however they want.
Ohm is non-binary, aromantic, and asexual. They have a tough time making friends, but they bonded so strongly with Isa that the two of them pretty much have a queerplatonic relationship. Isa is gay but sucks at flirting so he’s only dated one other dude in his life and that relationship only lasted about a month. Basically Isa and Ohm suck at everything social and that’s part of the reason they became such good friends.
Ohm has a mild visual impairment in their left eye that would’ve been nonexistent if they’d been hatched on Irk due to ocular implants, so when they end up on Earth in the future, they end up wearing glasses.
Ohm has an Irken version of ADHD, and often bounces their leg at random
Following a horrible accident in a Lepiden raid on the Massive gone wrong, Ohm ends up as a POW for several months. They eventually escape and end up on earth around the same time as @fandom-mutt‘s OC Zil and @catsplosionxd‘s OC Kit
In their escape from the Massive, Ohm hijacked a Spittle Runner belonging to a Irken SIR engineer. This ship had a bunch of SIR parts in the storage compartment, and once on Earth, Ohm fiddled around with those and created their own robot companion, Spot!
As a young smeet, Ohm was taken care of by the Lepiden tribe’s leader, an elderly female Lepiden called Yuki. (And yeah, I’m waffling between the idea of Tallest Miyuki feigning her death and joining the Lepidens or Yuki just having known Miyuki in the past, and the two of them coordinated the smeet hatchery raid)
Yuki never told Ohm any lies, but never disclosed more than Ohm asked for, so when the truth comes out, Ohm isn’t as mad as they could’ve been.
When Ohm was a smeet, they were worried about their lack of wings, so Yuki made Ohm a knitted cloak with wings on it to help their self-confidence
Following Ohm and Isa’s discovery of the Irken Empire’s existence, Yuki decided to bring the existence of the Lepiden rebel alliance to light, and all of Lepos soon became aware that there had always been a secret war being fought dorectly under their noses. Despite that, there was little unrest on Lepos and rebel recruits started flooding in.
Ohm’s original purpose was to provide the Lepidens a secret weapon, which changed when Yuki grew attached to Ohm, and then in a stroke of irony, Ohm joined the rebel forces of their own volition, advertising themself as a secret weapon.
Lepos has a very strange environment, riddled with a form of radiation that doesn’t harm anything, but does modify them in strange and unpredictable ways. This radiation has led to sentient plant/animal life, odd supernatural energy sources, and unique natural resources not found anywhere else. One of which being an incredibly sturdy metal that absorbs shock damage and has an insanely high melting point, yet when paired with Lepiden tech, will change form in a single instant to fit the user’s needs. All Lepiden cruisers and battle armor is constructed from this metal.
WOW THAT WAS WAAAAY TOO MUCH INFODUMPING AGKDKAS BUT THANKS FOR ENABLING ME, I LOVE RAMBLING ABOUT OHM AND WORLDBUILDING CRAP :’D
