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.

the Thane-in-Glass is served by a messenger called the Tower of Thorns. the curators serving the Tower of Thorns are called Mr Suns (hoards astronomy related objects and light, Mr Phantasy’s more experimentally successful counterpart), Mr Morbid (hoards anything related to death), and Mr Masks (hoards disguises and anything related to the concept of hiding one’s true self).

o/ midnight, hide, and skin for anybody :)

midnight: What keeps your OC up at night? Do they have nightmares? Fears? Anxieties? What do they do in the small hours of the morning when they should be sleeping?

Metis is an insomniac. their brain just won’t shut down for the night, so nighttime is when they do a lot of their most inspired writing. their sensory issues also make it very hard to get comfortable, and they need darkness and silence to relax.

hide: What does your OC hide? Why do they hide it?

Mr Morbid has no loyalty to Mr Suns or Mr Masks. oddly enough, it feels a strong obligation to the tower of thorns. it sees the tower as its savior, rather than a jailer, like Suns or Masks. Morbid wants to escape the Thane-in-Glass along with the tower, and travel the high wilderness, cataloging people’s memories.

Morbid hides this to avoid angering its fellow curators, which would ruin its plan.

skin: How comfortable is your OC in their skin? Do they grapple with anything that lives inside them—a beast, a curse, a failure, a monster? How do they face the smallest, weakest, most horrible version of themself? Are they able to acknowledge it at all?

from a literal standpoint, Aria has never quite felt at home in her body, but her slow transformation into a tomb colonist has made this much more apparent.

metaphorically? Aria blames herself for Elisa’s murder, and feels like she made Elisa’s life worse even when she was alive. if you asked her, she would say she killed the weak, scared version of herself when she killed Scathewick. she hasn’t.
