FINALLY DARKTIDE GIVES THE OGRYN THE TRAIN MISSION!

[mangaka-neko-chan]

Harald is very obviously not happy about the Arbitrators joining the Mourningstar.

With my Zealot Moggy, my Ogryn Benn, Od's Ogryn Gar and @elinilinxfoot's Veteran Elini who are all easily distracted by the puppies.

Happy Pride!

Felt right to draw my DT gang all together!

Context for the "BOOM". Benn has the mental capacity of a 10 year old who's ONLY interest is cars. Cars being guns and explosions. They found a solution tho~

@chickenly‘s awesome Darktide Expression Meme but instead of one of my DT characters it’s each character of the big squad my friends and me have. Which are 14 PEOPLE so this is part 1 for now, part 2 will be there when I’m done with the other 8.

Harken, Tilly, Harald and Benn are mine. Gar is my friend Od’s. Babs is my friend @elinilinxfoot‘s.

The Darktide Brainrot is real so here’s some doodles of my friends ( @elinilinxfoot :D) and my characters. At some point I started adding the names, classes and voices to them because at this point we got 12 characters together which will obviously get tough to follow.

Based on Zealot Judge VA summarizing the latest big patch news in character. These vids make me think that in my friend's and my squad, Tiolach delivers any news to everyone like that. Had to sketch it out of my system lmao.

Also Benn won't be stopped by a puny door even if he has to kneel down and squeeze through. Will he like it in the tiny room? No. Does that stop him? Also no.

Garius and Elini are @elinilinxfoot 's.

Tiolach is Od's who doesn't have socials, good for him, good for him.

I know Harald likes music can you give us some examples of his music tastes.

Bless you Elini, my friend, of course I can~ While Harald generally enjoys music, he most prefers variations of rock, especially punk rock. Text wise, naturally he would gravitate to stuff that is too provocative for the Emperium hahaha. He also likes anything industrial and electronic.

On top of that he possesses a fable for classical music, especially piano pieces, as well as bar songs and shanties since that's what got him into music in the first place when he worked in a bar.

I have a few music examples under the cut. And here's Harald showing Benn and your Theina some tunes~

Fear, Nightmare and Mask for anyone in the Darktide crew

You said anyone so I WheelOfNamed it.

fear: What is your OC's greatest fear? What do they do when confronted with it? Are they open with their fear, or do they hide it away?

Harald always assumed that being caught as a Psyker would be his greatest fear and of course it is one of them. He doesn't want to end up being a cog in the merciless machine called The Imperium let alone end up on the Black Ships or other.

But his true greatest fear is losing people he cares about. His whole life has been about that. Loosing his mother who sacrificed her own life to protect him due to his mistake. Loosing his biological father who wants him dead for being his bastard son and a Psyker. Loosing his surrogate father who he had to leave to protect him. Loosing his first romantic relationship (and by extension his first friend group) to prejudice and hatred of Psykers. All meaningful connections he ever made ended up taken away or broken. After he lost his surrogate father he was already in a state of closing himself off to other people. When he found his first love and friends, it was like the first ray of light after and endless night. He thought he could finally open up again and then it all fell apart in an instant. It made him skittish and overly careful. He only hid away with minimal or superficial contact. Once he ended up on the Mourningstar he believed himself dead anyway so he would let out his smug cocky persona, to some extent covering up how scared he truely was. He had no intention of making close friends, let alone lovers. But for the first time he comes across people like him. And even more, he ends opening up to someone he thought to be the last to get along with, finding deep love and affection. And with each day he embraces being close with others he fears that he might lose it all again. The keen eye may read it from his actions. A hug that draws out longer, words towards a future away of the warband, worried expressions. He would never voice it tho, too afraid to manifest and worried it will be his weakness and hurt him again.

nightmare: What does your OC have nightmares about? How do they deal with their nightmares? Do they tell people, or keep it to themself?

Benn remembers his dreams very rarely if at all. He thinks he doesn't dream. Should he have nightmares it would be about being overwhelmed by enemy forces or being to weak to walk or fight. Sth inexplicable that slows him down or makes him tired or a fatal wound. He already rarely deals with dreams let alone nightmares but if he had to it'd be by forgetting. He would also keep the nigthmares to himself since he'd be ashamed about what he saw. You'd maybe notice that sth is wrong if he just sits there looking like he's seriously thinking after waking up.

mask: Does your OC wear a mask, literally or figuratively? What goes on beneath it? Is there anyone in their life who gets to see who they are under the mask?

Of the entire Squad Moggy is perhaps the most open personality besides Benn. She's very true with her emotions and thoughts and even in the instances where she tries to hide sth, the mask would break very soon. When she wakes of her nightmares everyone will know sooner or later. When she wants to appeal to the other Zealots, she'd manage until she disagrees with their viewpoints. There is only one exception. Perhaps not a mask but just sth hidden deep within. Only when she believes she is in mortal danger like during the tragedy of her past when she survived the wars in the lower hives. Those are the moments where there will be no nonsense, no joy, no smile, no jokes not even emotion like it would usually be in the most dire situations. She would put on a necessary cover of strength to survive, which would be taken off as soon as she would find herself safe again.
