Art vs Artist 2025 ❤️‍🔥 pretty packed already, still missing some important pieces though

This year was absolutely insane.

At the end of 2024, I lost my job and had to move back to Germany from Croatia. I had moved there with the plan to stay for a few years, and suddenly everything fell apart. Not long after that, I suffered a serious back injury that caused months of pain and completely took over my life. I then started a new job, but the stress was overwhelming and pushed me into a deep depression😭

Somewhere in the middle of all that, after years of Kid Pirates, I completely shifted to Predator. A full hyperfixation switch. And at the end of the year, I went through back surgery that gave me my life back.

Yeah….what a year

Probably one of the most complicated OCs I’ve ever written, besides my OC Pascha of course. Funny enough, they actually have a few similarities… maybe it’s the baseball cap hehe

Anyway, Miriam aka Toni is also one of my oldest OCs that I never shared before, because I always felt like she was way too overpowered (she started out as kind of a comfort, experimental character). I’ve been trying for days to figure out how to actually tell her story in a way that makes sense (to me)

With the help of my beloved friend, who somehow managed to organize my chaotic thoughts (because I definitely could NOT), I finally tried to put it all down.

Warning: it’s a long read 😤

The Daughters:

Thousands of years ago, a rare and extreme genetic anomaly gave rise to what would later be known as the Daughters. Their altered genome allows for an unnaturally long lifespan, accelerated cognitive adaptation, and the ability to encode complex informational patterns within their own DNA.

At some point, the first Daughter discovered that she could transfer not only her genetic material, but also fragments of her neural architecture and memory structures into a child created entirely from her own cells. Due to the instability of her altered genome, natural reproduction was never possible for her. Self-replication became the only way to continue her existence in another form.

This process, however, comes at an enormous biological cost. The transfer of neural data, cellular information, and metabolic energy destabilizes the mother’s body beyond recovery. After giving birth, her physical systems begin to fail, and she eventually dies as her body finally gives in to the damage.

From that moment on, every Daughter must decide for herself if and when she will create the next one.

Each new Daughter is born without conscious awareness of the past. They do not enter the world carrying memories or knowledge of previous lives. Instead, they grow up as individuals, forming their own personality and identity. Only later do fragments of inherited memory begin to surface, first as distorted dreams, emotional echoes, and flashes of unfamiliar experiences.

With time, these fragments align and grow, restoring more and more of the built-up knowledge and skills of all previous Daughters. Eventually, they carry centuries of shared memory, along with the heavy truth of what they truly are.

No Daughter is ever forced to continue the lineage. The decision to create the next one is always voluntary, fully aware that doing so will ultimately mean the end of their own life.

Miriam:

Miriam is one of the later Daughters. She is approximately 280 years old and carries within her the accumulated memories, skills, and experiences of every Daughter who came before her, layered with everything she has learned in her own lifetime. Each Daughter developed her own areas of focus over the centuries. Some dedicated themselves to philosophy, medicine, political systems, or the shaping of entire societies. Others became explorers, traveling far beyond their original worlds and studying alien cultures, languages, and civilizations. Several Daughters before Miriam were already highly skilled in technology and weapons development.

However, Miriam is the first to fully merge all of these disciplines into a single approach. She does not only understand technology, she understands how it interacts with biology, psychology, strategy, and social systems. Where others specialized, Miriam integrates.

Her strength is not just in building weapons or machines, but in designing complete systems: suits, mobility technology, software, surveillance networks, and adaptive combat tools that all work together. She constantly improves and rebuilds her own gear based on experience in the field, turning every fight into new data.

She is not the first Daughter to work with technology. She is the first to turn it into her primary way of surviving, fighting, and thinking. Now she works on her own, traveling through space as a bounty hunter. Her gear isn’t built for armies or large battles, but for survival, quick reactions, and extreme mobility in dangerous and unpredictable situations.

One of her most important inventions are the Orbital Vector Stabilizers, or OV-Rings. They let her control gravity and movement around her body, giving her controlled flight and incredible agility during fights. Even with all the knowledge she carries, Miriam is not immune to fear, exhaustion, or doubt. She knows that one day she will face the same choice as every Daughter before her: whether to pass everything on, knowing that doing so will end her own life.

Personality:

Miriam is confident to the point of being a little arrogant at times. She can be loud, bold, and very direct, but she also has moments where she completely withdraws and keeps to herself.

She has a sharp tongue and loves to provoke people/aliens, mostly just for fun, to test reactions, or to stay in control of a situation. She enjoys pushing buttons and doesn’t mind getting under someone’s skin if it gives her an advantage or just makes things more interesting.

She’s also a gambler at heart. Miriam loves cards, betting, and shady games in bars and back-alley joints, not just for the money, but for the thrill and the mind games.The riskie life excites her. Under all that confidence and attitude, she’s observant, strategic, and always calculating her next move, even when she looks like she’s just messing around.

Aura-Code:

All Daughters are born with an enhanced perceptual ability that allows them to sense the hidden informational structures of reality, known as the Aura-Code. At first, this ability shows itself only as strong intuition or subconscious pattern recognition.

Eventually, one of the early Daughters realizes that every entity, living or not, emits a distinct energetic signature. This signature appears as rotating symbolic patterns arranged in layered, circular structures. These patterns reflect biological condition, emotional state, structural integrity, and accumulated experience.

The longer a being exists and the more complex its life has been, the more intricate its Aura-Code becomes. Most creatures, having lived only a single lifespan, show relatively simple patterns. The Aura-Code of a Daughter, however, is made up of multiple overlapping layers that represent many lifetimes of stored experience.

Miriam has learned not only to see these codes, but to read and compare them. She can sense emotional instability, detect injuries, identify biological weaknesses, and analyze unfamiliar technology by observing its energetic structure.

With enough focus and training, she can even interfere with the Aura-Code itself. This allows her to speed up healing, stabilize failing biological systems, or disturb certain emotional and neurological patterns. These actions are extremely dangerous and require precise control. Any mistake can cause permanent damage, both to the target and to herself.

To Miriam, the Aura-Code is not magic. It is a universal data layer, something that can be studied, decoded, and, in rare cases, altered.

Thank you for reading ❤️

Know My Character:

I’ve been planning to do this forever, but I had a hard time telling her story (mainly because I felt bad for making her so OP). But now that I have a solid technical explanation for her powers and origins, I feel ready to share her story.

(There still more to tell)

The heavy groan of the ship’s hull swallows the sound of Heat’s boots as he steps inside. The dim glow from the lanterns outside casts jagged shadows across his scarred face, the dark outline of his frame filling the doorway. The cold night air slips into the room, stirring the thick haze of smoke hanging in the air.

“He wants you,” Heat says, his voice low and sharp. “Now.”

Pascha doesn’t even flinch. She’s stretched out in the hammock, one leg hooked over the edge, the other resting lazily against the rope netting. The blue glow from the CRT screen beside her flickers against her face, softening the hard edge of her eyes as she exhales a slow, thin trail of smoke from the blunt between her fingers.

She takes another drag, the ember burning bright orange in the low light. A faint smirk curls her lips.

“Let him wait,” she mumbles.

Heat’s jaw tightens. “It’s Kid,” he growls. “You know how he gets when he’s kept waiting.”

Pascha’s gaze shifts toward him, half-lidded and lazy beneath the golden strands of her hair. She inhales deeply, the smoke curling between her lips as she speaks.

“And?”

Heat moves closer, the floorboards groaning under his weight. His eyes narrow, dark and impossible to read. Without breaking eye contact, he slips the blunt from her fingers, his hand grazing hers with a brief, deliberate touch before he lifts it to his lips.

He inhales slowly, the ember flaring brighter for a moment, casting a faint glow across his face. Smoke rolls lazily from his mouth as he leans down, his gaze locked with hers. Then, without a word, he holds the blunt out to her.

Pascha’s eyes flick down to his hand as she takes it back, her fingers lingering against his for a breath longer than necessary. She brings the blunt back to her lips and exhales slowly, smoke drifting through the dim light.

“Tell him I’ll be there when I’m ready,” she says softly, her tone light, almost playful. “Unless he wants to come down here himself.”

Heat’s mouth tightens into a thin line. He steps back toward the door, the soft creak of the wood beneath his boots echoing through the quiet.

“Don’t make him wait too long,” he says without turning around. “You know how he gets.”

Pascha’s lips curl into a faint smile as she brings the blunt back to her lips, taking a slow, deliberate drag.

“Oh,” she breathes, eyes narrowing slightly as smoke drifts lazily from her mouth. “I know.”

The door closes behind Heat with a low, hollow thud. Pascha watches the smoke curl toward the ceiling, the quiet hum of the ocean beneath the ship the only sound left in the room.

So… I started this, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Will I finish and be proud of trying a new technique, or will I end up disappointed because it probably won’t turn out how I imagined?

Self-sabotage really is the worst
