Your mystery question is here :)

☂️Umbrella: What is one thing that protects your character and keeps them safe?

Gonna use Marlin and Plague :)

They are the only thing keeping each other safe, especially since Xylo died. They are literally attached at the hip, and will hiss at you if you try to seperate them. (Codependency? Whats that?)

Their first meeting was Marlin protecting Plague, and have been trading off ever since

heyyy i've got questions for the oc ask game, if you have time for some! about plague :) have a good day, hope you're doing well

question 12: "what's something that makes them laugh every single time? be specific!"

question 34: "how do they greet someone they like/love?"

question 46: "are they a listener or a talker? if they're a listener, what makes them talk? if they're a talker, what makes them listen?"

AAAH thank you so much!! im hanging in there ;v; hope you are doing well yourself and that you have a good day!

12. What’s something that makes them laugh every single time? be specific!

….that one gen alpha mewing meme GDKDHDDJ

34. How do they greet someone they like/love?

(platonic and familial love) at a distance with great annoyance and persistence

46. Are they a listener or a talker? if they're a listener, what makes them talk? if they're a talker, what makes them listen?

plague is a listener, mostly because they dont know how to start or carry a conversation on their own. but they’d perk up at any interests mentioned, like 80’s pop culture, TV shows, memes, skateboarding and the like!

(OC questions here: feel free to send in more asks!)

Your mystery question is here :)

🏳️‍🌈LGBT Pride: Are any of your characters LGBTQ+?  What are their identities?  How did they realize they were queer? 

🏳️‍⚧️Trans Pride: How is the idea of gender/queer identities treated in your world? What was your character's experience like?

🌈Rainbow: Has your character ever been to a Pride event?  What was it like for them?  If they’ve never been, what would it be like?  

🏳️‍🌈: I take pride (haha) in making most of my characters lgbtqia+ in some way shape or form. It's just more fun. This is gonna be copy pasted from another post I made lol.

Zel: Enby (He/They), pansexual, demiromantic

Phoenix: omnisexual

Luke: transmasc, demisexual, demiromantic, abrosexual

Plague: Sapphic, aspec

Marlin: bisexual (woman/nonbinary preference), greysexual

Aurora: aroace

And they're all polyamourous because I said so :]

Zel knew they weren't a man or woman from a pretty young age, but they felt more masculine-leaning. they couldn't say where it started. Phoenix, their wife, grew up thinking that liking all genders was the norm, Luke realized he was a guy in his early to mid teens, and demiromantic when he had his first crush on someone around the same time. Aurora doesn't actually have a label for how she feels yet, she just knows she isn't interested in sex or romance. Plague was Marlin's bisexual awakening, and Plague never found men attractive.

🏳️‍⚧️: Since the world of Eyes Of Justice takes place in is filled with mutants and superpowers, gender and sexuality isn't really a big deal to most normal people. Of course, there are exceptions to this. Luke, for example, comes from a matriarchal hierarchy in his family/clan system (they're spider mutants i feel like i should clarify this), so his transitioning was perceived as weakness. So his experience with his family was. Bad.

A lot of the heteronormativity that's pushed is based in passing down powers, but its not really in a "only men and women should be together" and more of a "make sure you continue your bloodline" which is.... still bad. Some groups take it wayy too far and delve into eugenics, but thats a conversation for another time. Of course, some people are still seriously homophobic and transphobic, but they receive more public backlash for it.

Marlin and Plague receive the least amount of homophobia because they literally own a bar and are surrounded by other queer people, same with Phoenix because she had a very loving family. Zel was already bullied for looking like a "monster" and identifying as enby just caused it to get worse. Their adult life is much better in that regard. Aurora's mother, while she was still alive, hated that she didn't want to be in a relationship, but her dad and step-mom supported her.

🌈: I think in their academy days, Phoenix and Aurora would have gone, but I think Zel would have been too overwhelmed. If they did go though, they would probably cry, because they were surrounded by people like them, and it made them feel human for the first time. Luke has gone a few times and feels a bit like an imposter for the first hour or so, but he really likes not having to walk on eggshells to be himself. Marlin and Plague host pride events at their bar and enjoy being part of their community.

hey how do your ocs show affection? :}

Hi!!!!!

Plague is very physical, punching people's shoulders, she often rests her head on top of Marlowe's when she's at her desk or kissing her hand (or kissing her in general. Marlowe thinks she'd crawl into her skin if she could)

Marlin does little acts of service, like bringing water to Plague when she drinks too much, makes people food, etc. She's actually fond of Luke, so she brings him sandwiches sometimes when he forgets to eat (she always packs extra because Jemma is bad about eating too)

A special Marlin/Plague thing- they have necklaces with each other's blood inside it in lieu of rings :) freaks /pos

Luke also likes physical affection, but he is much more subdued about it. He's more gentle nudges and arm squeezes than being over the top. He also really enjoys long talks about anything.

Phoenix gives small gifts, like a book someone was eyeing or sets up nice dates for her and Zel. She and Aurora started a "book club" (its just the two of them) back in their training days, but what Aurora doesn't know is that Phoenix just wanted to be closer friends lol

Zel is reaaaally really bad at expressing affection. They become more animated when talking to someone they care about and sometimes they wrap their tail around Phoenix and Luke. He tries his best to make sure his loved ones know they're loved.

Aurora likes spending time with people she loves. She'll do outings with them, or she's perfectly content just sitting in the same room doing separate things.

Thanks for the question :]

Im so. Tired but need to oc post (aka this will be horrible and I'll fix it tomorrow)

Xylo (Marlowe and Jemma's father figure) dies. Breaking news girl who kills her ocs kills her oc 😱

Anyway, thats *part* of the reason Jemma and Marlowe become Plague and Marlin. Xylo is killed by the guy who stalked Marlowe, and Marlowe, in her grief, kills her stalker. Jemma finds them after hearinh the commotion and realizes very quickly that if they dont go into hiding, Marlowe will go to jail for murder.

The next day, there is a warrant out for Marlowe's arrest, but she and Jemma are already 8 cities over, and going by different names.
