#neverafter oc

[poncivalpishpuff]

I cleaned up the character backgrounds so people can make their own Neverafter Ocs:)

Also currently trying to export a interactive pdf with the fonts.  Just using GIMP, because I've never really done anything like this before.

So far I found using Aqum 2 Bold for names and character info, and a mix of Versica Serif and Mr Anteater Fill for the character name are the best.

Original background and character design is by Giuseppe Lama

This is Camille! A character based on the protagonist in "Diamonds and Toads" as my piece for "Witches, Warrior, and Wolves", a Dimension 20's Neverafter OC zine as part of @d20zinejam 2023! I particularly love this story because how absurd it is to consider vomiting jewels as a blessing, (wouldn't you bleed? wouldn't people ignore everything you have to say? how about the economic disaster of all this diamonds and gems, oh no you are ruining the wedding ring industry, which is great i guess? anyway) but hey, you do you, mysterious fairy.

my neverafter oc! she’s a divine soul sorcerer :]

[susiephone]

ok here’s my pitch for a Neverafter version of Dorothy Gale, because the part of my brain that likes to make Ever After High-style OCs will never die

Dorothy blew in from some world unknown to most of the Neverafter, to the region of Oz, when she was about 12. in some loops she’s returned home, but in others, she’s stayed. sometimes by choice, sometimes not.

in this loop, Dorothy is now in her late twenties

she’s an oathbreaker paladin, formerly in the service of Glinda the Good

as a girl, Dorothy was guided on her journey by the two good witches, and was promised that if she found the Wizard who ruled Oz, she could go home. she traveled through Oz, facing much danger, but found friends along the way - a Scarecrow who wanted a brain, a Tin Man who wanted a heart, and a lion who wanted some courage

of course, the Wizard of Oz turned out to be a charlatan, an ordinary man from Dorothy’s home, with no real power, ruling Oz with nice-sounding lies and parlor tricks

in kinder versions of the story, everyone got what they wanted anyway.

not this time. this time, they were just stuck with what they had.

Dorothy’s friends promised to shelter her, and they did. the four retreated back into the unruly and wild world they’d traveled through, resolving to carve out a life for themselves.

when she discovered the Wizard’s lies, Dorothy’s love of the Neverafter was tarnished, and her trust in what she’d been told began to decay

Glinda the Good Witch of the South, possibly out of pity, kindness, or ulterior motives of her own, took Dorothy under her wing, teaching her magic and combat. Dorothy took an Oath of the Ancients and became a paladin under Glinda

as she grew up, Dorothy tangled more and more with cruel and even violent witches and fairies, and began to turn her back on the “good” witches of the North and South.

eventually, Dorothy met Ozma, a young woman who was the true ruler of Oz, kidnapped at birth and raised by a witch named Mombi (possibly with influence from the Stepmother)

quickly becoming friends, Ozma and Dorothy vowed to take the world back from the oppressive forces controlling it

staging a coup in the Emerald City, they killed the Wizard and officially cut ties with the witches, with Ozma taking her throne back and Dorothy taking on the role of the Wizard, officially going oathbreaker

as the new Great and Powerful Oz (she feels weird when people insist on calling her that), Dorothy works to grant the wishes of her and Ozma’s subjects, learning all the magic and alchemy she can to try and protect them and make them happy

eventually, she and Ozma fell in love and got married, technically making Dorothy queen consort of Oz. just “Dorothy” is fine, though. “the wizard,” if you insist on being formal.

Dorothy and Ozma now rule an increasingly-crumbling Oz together as a power couple, with the Scarecrow as Ozma’s advisor and The Tin Man and Cowardly Lion leading their army. Ozma’s own companions, Jack Pumpkinhead and Tik-Tok, are in her own royal court.

Ozma is an artificer, with Jack and Tik-Tok both being warforged

Dorothy prefers to wear simple clothes that harken back to the clothes she wore on the farm of her childhood, but for special occasions, can be spotted in somewhat masculine emerald green formalwear (she leaves the dresses and jewels to Ozma). the only exception is her choice in footwear - heeled silver boots, which provide her protection from most magic.

she still has a small scar on one of her cheeks, from where one of the good witches kissed her. if she gets too close to anything too dangerous, the mark burns.

she has a broomstick (taken from the Witch of the West - rumor has it she picked it off the crumpled remains of her body) and an alliance with the flying monkeys

Toto, due to the magic of the Neverafter, is still alive. he’s the spoiled, happy little lap dog he always was, always at Dorothy’s heels. however, he’s also a useful familiar, as Dorothy will sometimes use him as a spy, looking through his eyes and using Speak With Animals to talkto him about what he’s heard and seen

meanwhile, Glinda and the other witches are starting to want their kingdom back...

INTRODUCING :: YASMINE AL-RASHID in NEVERAFTER

Princess Yasmine Al-Rashid grew up believing she was the daughter of the Sultan of a faraway Kingdom and his wife, a beautiful woman by the name of Scheherazade. However, when Yasmine turned eighteen, her kingdom went to war with a neighboring nation, a man who had styled himself as a Prince Ali of an unknown country known as Ababwa. Her father’s vizier and adviser, Ja’far, did all he could to ensure the safety and prosperity of their kingdom, but with his disappearance and the death of the Sultan, Yasmine was left with no other choice. Using her mother’s book of stories, Yasmine approached Prince Ali and proposed a wager. 

If he could stay awake enough to recall the facts of her mother’s stories, she would surrender and her kingdom--including its Princess--would belong to him. Prince Ali promised to kill the Princess after taking her virtue, but he would never get the chance. 

This wager lasted for One Thousand and One Nights, during which time Yasmine and her people were able to sneak into the enemy camp and discover the source behind the invasion, a rusty oil lamp that contained a bright blue djinn who granted the bearer wishes. She stole the lamp and on the One Thousandth and First Night, Prince Ali and Yasmine were married and his true identity as the thief, vagabond, and her brief acquaintance Aladdin were revealed. 

It is unsure what happened next, but sources have claimed that Princess Yasmine was seen fleeing the kingdom with a black satchel as a power unforeseen in this world rent it asunder. Official sightings of the Princess have not been seen in several months, but some have claimed a woman bearing a strong resemblance to her was seen with a caravan en route to Shoeberg.

Finally made some Dimension 20 ocs! I know it’s not really a fairy tale but Alice In Wonderland has been used so much in horror without ever really getting at the part that I found to be actually scary. (Which is what coming back after wonderland would be like)

I remembered in the book (which I read super long ago) that there was at least one other girl Alice talks about (who she thinks is very stupid) and so I looked back through the text and found that she mentions at least two other girls, Ada (who has curly hair) and Mabel (which is the one that Alice thinks is dull) I remember being fascinated as a kid by the idea that she had classmates she would be returning to, and so I pulled these names from the book.

In my Neveraftery version of things Alice comes back after like a year in Wonderland to discover that the place where she lived has undergone the same fate as most of the other Kingdoms in Neverafter, many people have died, and those who have not are fearful and on edge. Alice eventually bonds with some of her classmates, and sensing the need for a story, tells them about her adventures (leaving out anything grim). They latch onto the stories, at it gives all of them (Alice very much so included) an escape from the world around them. Eventually their town is pretty thoroughly destroyed, and they hop caravans performing various plays based on Alice’s stories, which are generally received quite well. Alice however, is beginning to feel like leaving out the dark parts of her experience was a bad idea, the fact she hasn’t told anyone about it is eating at her, and the fact she keeps reliving Wonderland doesn’t help.

ID under cut for this one.

[ID: A drawing of three girls in a forest, all wearing kind of dingy dresses. The first is Mabel, a girl with pale skin, brown eyes, and red hair. She is wearing clothes inspired by the white rabbit and the March hare, including two sets of rabbit ears. The second is Ada, a girl with medium brown skin, dark brown eyes, and black hair in an Afro. She is wearing clothes inspired by the mad hatter and the queen of hearts. The third is Alice, who is a girl with pale skin, black hair and black eyes. She is wearing a blue dress and holding a briefcase.]
