This ask almost brought me to tears. You still remember Saint....who are you? Anonymous Saint lover? PLEASE I HOPE YOU CAN FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FORGIVE ME FOR THE PUBLIC NEGLECT OF HIM...
I promise you with all of my heart Saint regularly comes up in conversations I have with @crows all the time. And I actually got around to giving him a bit of a redesign this year.
When I get another kick for RE8 again I will make a new ref of him and Beau just for you. For now heres the boy. He wants you to get home safe.

It’s far past time to introduce the main characters for the moon book (intro) so I can finally talk about them! I’ll be sharing plenty more about them as I develop the story now, but here’s some basics for now.
Saint 🌙 19, he/him, 4w5, ENFP, the protagonist!
Saint has a rich creativity and passion for storytelling. He loves to play piano and sing, the latter of which he’s supernaturally good at. He’s not very talkative and doesn’t share his stories often, but whenever he does there’s a gravity to his voice that pulls listeners in.
Saint’s best and only friends are Tab and Gene, but sometimes he feels like they’re just humoring him. He feels like an outsider around anyone except himself.
Because of a medical condition, Saint has periods where his senses are dulled to the point where he can’t perceive the outside world. So he turns inward. That’s what caused him to have such a weak sense of belonging, as well as surround himself with stories.
Tab 🪐 19, they/them, 3w2, ESTJ 🏳️⚧️
Tab loves academia and used to excel in every class- until their senior year. They’ve got a great memory and will happily learn and repeat back information all day, but the second the advanced classes they took got into more abstract ideas, they started failing. They can be inflexible, stubborn, and a bit blunt, but damn if they don’t get things done.
Now they’re retaking their senior year, which has ruined their hopes of getting into a good college. That was, until they met Casper who got them into the supernatural and ghosthunting… if they can find concrete proof of the things that exist beyond earth, they’d be able to get into whatever college they want.
Tab has a lot of friends that come and go, but the closest to their heart are Saint and Gene. They also have a rotating cast of passions, but their most consistent are history and guitar- which they learned to spend more time with their friends by starting a band.
Gene 💫 17, he/him, 9w8, INFP 🏳️⚧️
For most of his life, Gene has neatly fit into the persona of a quiet nerdy academic that the world projected onto him. But as he’s growing up, he’s starting to realize it doesn’t fit as well anymore. He’s an idealist with strong values, and a deep optimism + compassion. He’s young, he’s still growing into himself! He wants to change the world!
Now he’s just been accepted into a fancy college that’s sure to lead to a promising tech career. The only problem is, it’s across the country and he’s starting to feel a growing unease about leaving his friends behind to sit behind a desk taking orders from a boss for the rest of his life.
Gene adores his brother, Saint, and he’s been friends with Tab since they were kids. He plays the drums in their band and follows Tab around on all their adventures.
Casper ⚡️ 22, he/her, 7w6, ???? 🏳️⚧️
Casper is a high energy person who loves to experience new things, meet new people, do everything she can regardless of how good of an idea it may be. He’s always doing something with his hands; that means fiddling around with technology and more recently, crocheting.
After getting to a bad accident, Casper’s soul left her body. But before her body died, it replaced that soul with a rogue bit of cosmic dust that was similar enough to work as a replacement. He’s doing his best to recover as fast as possible so he can go back to his normal life, but it’s becoming harder and harder to pretend that’s an option. Casper isn’t able to do many of the things she used to, she doesn’t even feel like the same person anymore…
Meanwhile, the person that became her new soul isn’t pleased about this situation, either. Being stuck in a body is horribly limiting, their similar feelings of frustration bleed together and make the separation of the two even harder to maintain. But that’ll all be fine if they just ignore it :’)
Powehi 🌟???, it, 7w6
Powehi is an alien, the intangible manifested consciousness of humanity’s collective voice. It dives from body to body, seeing the world through earthling eyes until it stayed too long in Casper’s dying body and was trapped. It thinks very highly of itself and the things it can do, so to be condensed down to such a limiting form is… difficult. It’s mostly been sulking and ignoring everything.
Saint is its favorite earthling, so it blessed him with a piece of its power and visits him in his dreams. It hasn’t been able to do that recently, and even though Saint doesn’t realize Powehi is more than a figment of his imagination, he cares for it and is starting to get worried.
Powehi never had a name before meeting Saint, it’s usually just called the Voice.
two moodboards based off my x-men oc saint! (i haven't come up with a real name for her yet) she's a filipina 🇵🇭 in her mid-to-late twenties, and i made her originally for x-men '97 but i can see her in the fox movies too
more info under the cut
so basically her mutation is that by absorbing through her skin or ingesting others' blood, she can empower and heal herself. conversely, her blood has the same strengthening effect on others. she plays the role of team healer when she's not consumed by a sort of literal bloodlust
the first moodboard is based on her being a catholic but experiencing a lapse of faith/religious guilt due to her morbid demon-like mutation (and being a mutant overall). the second moodboard is her casual outfit (geared towards 90's styled fashion for x-men '97) with a leather jacket, biker gloves, selvedge jeans, and a mullet
the "biblically-accurate" angel in the 1st one kind of reminds me of her, and the crocodile (or in tagalog, buwaya) in the 2nd one is something that her grandparents affectionately called her and what she now thinks of herself as: a man-eater. buwaya can also mean corrupt or greedy in tagalog, relating to the bloodlust she feels or her being a corrupted healer
anyways thanks for reading my brain-dump 🫶 she's still a work in progress but i love her dearly
thanks again to @venomnyx for making a moodboard for her <3
