Have some slightly older art of my main WoF ocs!!!
(Click for better quality - Please don't repost or claim as your own thank you!)
1st: Dream and Oak
2nd: Dale and Dream
3rd: Omniscient, Silk, Dale, and Dream (inspired by Whiteout's family portrait!)
My first WoF ocs (Except Oak, he's newer)
They accidentally are very similar to Darkstalker's family except much happier and less tragic lol. I made them before the second arc even came out and I thought it was cool that they are like the opposite of that situation :3 I also have no idea why Silk isn't named like a normal Icewing but now her lore includes her having very distant rainwing relations because of another oc pair I made that are the ancestors of Silk. (Their names are Thaw and Dartfrog and they'll have their own big story!)
Omniscient and Silk are very much in love and Silk would gladly rip apart anyone who messes with her husband and kids. (She nearly killed her brother who cursed Dream)
Silverdale aka Dale is an optimistic dragon with lots of other hybrid friends at the school he goes to, he's working on solving a great mystery with them.
Dreamcatcher is an animus! However she was cursed by her uncle who is also an animus so she is forever asleep, with only a few rare moments of being awake. She's only ever made 2 items with her magic including an orb that allows others to visit her in her dream world and another item that is currently unknown. (Also I would like to note her name may be changed to Dreamchaser as I'm unsure if her name is inappropriate or not, I named her when I was little and would greatly appreciate if someone let me know if it is!)
Oak is a newer oc who eventually becomes Dream's boyfriend. He's determined to break her curse when he meets her and begins an epic journey to wake her up.
Dear gods Silk for the first time after you hatched you talked to somebody other than Mio and Fior, and you threaten them! Can't you help yourself for once?!
Sorry, @ivoirecrasfali , if I butchered Marquis as I am not a very experienced artist.
(Btw I saw this vine or meme somewhere and couldn't get it out of my head but now I can't find it anymore. Could somebody tell me who knows from who this is so I can credit them as well?)
A Needle is a Prophet even if they don’t wish to be.
I guess we are diving into Needle psyche a bit today. Our starring role will explain their hate towards another vessel (which did nothing wrong).
Marquis and Nix will have his starring role in the next chapter! I promise! However, for this chapter, we meet one of Needles dead siblings.
I hope you guys liked it!
Nix, Nox, and Nok belong to @dajermce
Marquis belongs to @ivoirecrasfali
Silk belongs to @silkvessel
This AU, in general, belongs to @sothequeensays
The trip with the Tram was far shorter than Needle expected it to be. Maybe it was the fact that they spent most of the ride in their own head...ignoring everything around them. They should really stop that.
"So, from here it's only down and right...and down again. Like really down. The Abyss really far down."
"Yes, we understand that, Nox. Just show us the way." Marquis sighed annoyed and Needle swore they could hear some endearment in that sigh as well.
"Alright, this way!" Nox started to lead the way and everybody followed. It felt weird to Needle. Suddenly it hit them. How would they distract their siblings? They hadn't thought that far! For Mother's sake, they didn't think they would get that far! Well Okay, that's a blatant lie. They, however, did not expect more than just one sibling to lead them to the Abyss.
They probably should think about a plan but the Shadows weren't screaming so fucking loud. Why were they always so loud!
"Are you okay, Needle?" A whispering voice rang through all the screaming Shadows. It made Needle almost jump out of their own shell as their head turned rapidly towards the source of the voice as they are met with Noks void filled eyes staring back at Needle with concern. "You were holding your head like it was hurting. So I just thought...well that you were hurting, you know...."
As Nok was rambling Needle tried their best to comprehend what was going on. It took them a few seconds to realize what the concern was. It also took them a few more seconds to realize that they have stopped walking and that the group was staring at them.
"Ah...yeah, I...I just don't like loud noises..." their voice was weak but loud enough for everyone to hear. There was a moment of silence from the group before Marquis decided to speak up. "There are no loud noises."
Needle just let out an awkward chuckle before looking down once again. "Yeah...can we just move forward? Just ignore this please..."
Another moment of silence before they started to move again. It brought Needle a feeling of delight when they didn't ask.
The whole way to the Abyss they did not speak other than a few questions from Marquis. To Needles annoyance, they did have to climb a bit but they soon arrived at the entrance of the Abyss, which from above has not changed much. Well...as much Needle could see it was still a dark, loud hell that they actually didn't wish to return to.
At least the way down was still the same as their...dream? Still, Needle decided to follow the lead of the trio. Maybe they could fall behind and wander off. That's at least what they planned to do with Marquis. Who once they arrived to the bottom actually did wander off, with only Nox following behind...well now was just to get rid of the other two...man they did sound like an absolute bastard talking like that about their siblings They ignored the majority of their stay in the garden and didn't even bother to remember but what has to be done will be done.
Looking around for a way to lose the two Needle found this place to be rather...skullless. Not that they didn't appreciate that they weren't exactly fond of the idea of walking in their dead sibling's corpses. However, the graves were still very unnerving. Where did they come from?
"We made them." A whisper said as it made Needle realize that they had asked that question out loud. "We come here occasionally to explore and help out the Shades" Shadows "if they need it."
This took Needle by surprise. They knew of other vessels that could hear these Shadows but they actually haven't actually talked to them at all...well they tried once. With one vessel in particular but it didn't end well. Not that the other would know. Needle actually did talk to them, they tried, but...the moment they saw them surrounded by these Shadows...Shadows that didn't scream, that didn't curse, that didn't...reject them...it made Needle feel these feelings. Feelings that boiled inside of them for as long as they could remember. Rage and envy. Envy at the fact that this vessel had been accepted by the things that rejected them for no reason. As for rage, it was simply the fact this could have been them. The vessel may not have looked happy with its role but in farsight, their fate would have been much tamer than that of Needles (They did not wish to remember their fate), which made them angry to no end. The vessel who carried the name of Silk, a name they both shared at that point in their very young lives and which Needle decided to change afterward, made Needle realize something. Something they did not wish to think about. Not then, not now and not in the near future.
"So, did the Shadows-"
"Shades" Nix interrupted Needle to correct them. "Whatever. Did the Shades ask you to bury their bodies?" The mocking tone in their voice made Nix clearly unhappy but before she could say anything Nok interrupted her. "Some did, others we just buried because they are, you know our siblings." He turned to a grave and so did Nix, seemingly having suddenly forgotten about Needles little sass just a minute ago. As Nok continued to ramble about the graves and for once Needle was actually listening, there was a sudden whisper. "Listen, Prophet. Be quiet and don't say a word." The whisper made Needle realize how quiet it was. When did the Shadows stop screaming? Ans this voice was clearly not Nix. No, Nix would not address them in such a way. Dear beloved Mother, nobody had addressed them as Prophet for almost as long as they have been outside of the Abyss. This was clearly a Shadow.
Anger. They could feel it, all the hate that they harbored for so long. It almost wanted to turn and find the voice only to scream at them. They did not care if their voice did not allow, they would break it if it was necessary.
But yet...they did not do such a thing. They stayed quiet. Like the Shadow has requested. "Prophet, I am the Guide. This is my title as I have no name, so you will address me as such. I am here to guide you to your prophecy. Today the Void called, our Lord called and you came. So please move slowly and follow my voice."
As soon as the words were spoken the Prophet did as such. Needle hated themselves for following orders from the Guide. They were a Shadow, they were below them and yet from the deepest hole in their own mind, the place of memories denied for so long, they knew they could not resist the words of their very own Sibling. Their clutch mate. They did not wish to acknowledge it. They wish to deny it. But they could not in the end. The memories always flooded back.
As soon as Needle was sure that they were far enough away from their siblings they turned around and found themselves face to face with a Shadow. One that looked so similar to the vessel in their dream (or was it a calling?) that they were certain that it was the same being. Still, the urge to scream arose again and still, Needle did not.
"Very well Prophet. You have heard your calling. The Lord and the Void have called you and as I see you met the Maskmaker." The Shadow said as it turned back around to look into the deep darkness of the Abyss and started floating in a certain direction. Needle followed. Not like they had much of a choice now. They already came here and the Guide would bring them to their destination.
"You know I have a name."
"Names are mere titles with no fate attached. I will not address you with a fateless title if have a fate laid out in front of you. You have a title." Needle sometimes wished they didn't. It felt like a wave of memories were suddenly flowing over them. Drowning them in their own despair. The knowledge of their very own life, from beginning to the end was laid in front of them. The path that only brought pain into their life. They had once tried to wander off this path but it only leads to them being hurt. It made them realize how much, outside of their purpose, they were replaceable. They were so often overlooked and ignored. Maybe it was because of their hight or maybe it was because of their knowledge people tended to either not see them or just ignore them. So the decision to find somebody alike. Somebody like Silk. They had hoped they would find closure, that they weren't alone in all this. Yes, They had Mio and Fior but they just took them in out of pity. Needle was sure of that. But Silk was somebody like them and then they saw the Shadows, the Shades, their dead siblings. They were so gentle with them. Whispering. It hurt. It hurt to see that even in their own prophecy...they were replaceable. And suddenly everything broke. They did not wish to speak, they did not wish to even acknowledge such emotions. They rejected them like their very own clutch mates did once Needle hatched. They denied them and buried those feelings face inside whole inside their very own mind. And now. Now they shall behold their very own fate. They could not escape their prophecy. They knew from the beginning, that happiness on this path would not be reachable and yet they had hope that maybe...maybe for once they would not be replaced. Maybe that's why they came. To reassure that nobody else did. To make sure that they were the one that the Lord has called.
Torn out of their thoughts by the sudden halt of the Guide. In front of them was the lake of void. It's shores radiated with power. "Do you know how to call upon the Lord of Shades?" Needle shook their head. They did not know that...even with their knowledge of the life that they would live, they did not know how to call upon their Lord that they would serve. It was fucking pathetic...
"I thought so. Then I shall teach you. Close your mind to anything else other than the Void. Not the voice of the siblings nor on your emotions." That was easier said than done but Needle still tried. It felt like they were returning in their own head but instead of their own voice, they could hear whispers. The prophet could not understand them. "This is the shore. Push past it and you will call upon the Lord, trapped inside its very own." The voice of the Guide was clear as day like their title suggested they were guiding them through the steps of summoning.
Needle, After countless tries finally pushed past the shores and suddenly they mind felt like they were falling. "Put on the mask. You shall not face our Lord with your eyes. Only through the mask, you shall speak to them. At least for now." Needle nodded and even to their mind was falling, they turned their mask to cover their face.
Shortly after that, a voice rang through them and their mind no longer was falling. "Finally..."
Slowly the shore rippled. Multiple gigantic arms rose from below, pushing up an even more gigantic body. Those eyes. Those eight eyes. This was the creature that has called upon them. This was their Lord.
The being lowered its head to stare at Needle. Its white eyes were glowing yet Needle could not read their Lords emotions. Did it even have any?
"You came, my prophet. I believe you know why came. It is finally time. Time to pressure our goal." Its booming voice shook Needles body to their void core. "Find beings willing to worship the Void. Find beings willing to sacrifice their life for the freedom of the void. It will be a long task but we shall be patient."
Slowly their Lord halted one of its hands in front of Needle. One of its fingers stretched forward. On its finger laid something. It was black as the Void itself and carved with the pictures of two Shado- Shades! Shades. They were Shades and the thing was a charm.
Slowly Needle took it from the Lords' finger and immediately found themselves filled with confidence. They felt like they could talk to anybody. It felt...new. They never felt like this before and it felt nice. Needle quickly equipped the charm upon them.
"This charm shall help you on your task. It will persuade the strong-willed and manipulate the weaker." The Lord of Shades drew back its hand. "I hope that I have not been mistaken in my faith in you." After these words, they once again returned to the void. Weakened by its presence outside of it.
Needle mind was slowly being filled by it's surrounding again. Still, the words of their Lord still rang in their head. It determined them. They will not be overlooked. They will most definitely not be replaced.
Suddenly, there was screaming. The Shado-Shades. They were screaming. Why were they screaming? They clearly weren't screaming at them. It was a mess of words screeched by those that were long dead, whoever there was one sentence that Needle seemed to understand perfectly.
"He is coming!" A warning. Needle looked alarmed at the Guide who did not look any less worried as they were. "Who is coming?" Needle decided to ask. Slowly her met theirs and she whispered but sounded more like a terrified gasp.
So I drew a picture of my Ocs having fun with hobbies.
And well I feel a bit bad for not writing more about them in my last post but I guess I can do that now right?
Fior: Fior is a happy-go-lucky vessel. They are loud and easily excited. Most of the time they are around their two siblings or somewhere near their mother. Here we can see them in their more quieter times drawing their beloved mother and relaxing, listening to their sibling sing. However, they aren’t very good at drawing. Their talent lies within poetry and writing but they aren’t aware of that yet, as they have to yet learned how to write. They also have a love for flowers. (Like Silk, they are also a bit insecure about their horns, since they bump into people a lot with them.)
Mio: Mio is quieter than their sibling, never the less, they are still a ball of love and naivete. They enjoy using their wings and singing. They like to learn new songs to sing to their two siblings and anyone else who would like to listen. They also enjoy picking flowers and spreading a good mood.
Silk: They are very attached to Mio and Fior and is never seen without one of them but that doesn't mean he doesn't love their other siblings they are just scared of being teased at their body is very small and their horns are big. In their opinion, they look silly. Since Silk can’t talk they show their love for their family can be seen when through their passion for sewing. If our dear and beloved creator of this AU, @sothequeensays allows it, I have a headcanon that maybe one of the handmaids of the queen taught some of the vessels to sew, in her free time. Of course only if that fits into the story…
Anyway, I hope you people like them and you can use them however you want.
There is this little secret that Silk has and that is that they have quite the potty mouth but they make sure that nobody is around to hear it after Fior reprimanded them on using such language. So take what you will out of this...sorry if you don’t like it @sothequeensays
So here are my babies as adults. They all are part of a group where they perform on festivities, for places who ask and for children of the less fortunate. They enjoy the attention and love they got from their performances.
Fior: Fior mostly wrote all of the songs, skits, and poems. They also enjoy performing with their siblings but if they are not performing they are documenting things for their father, mother, and siblings. It's not very exciting but they do like helping out their family. If they aren't doing that they and Mio are taking care of their mothers garden as their love for flowers only grew with age. As family wise Fior had a lot of lovers but most don't last since Fior rushes into things and people can't handle them.
Mio: Mio is a singer who loves performing everywhere they can but if they aren't performing they are taking care of their mothers garden. They lost one of their wings in the past it may have happened during the story if @sothequeensays finds a use for it or wants to use it I don't want to force anyone to use something. Mio doesn't have a lover as they are seemingly uninterested in those kinds of things.
Silk(BTW I saw that somebody else called their Vessel Silk and wanted to know if I should add something to my silk to avoid confusion.): Silk in their later years decided to pursue a career in sewing and armory. In their teens, they went under the teaching of rose and became her student. After a few years, they opened their own shop in the city of tears. But they still sew things for their siblings, mostly for performance. They dress Mio wears was also made by Silk. They also visit their mother and Rose (since they have grown to like her). They also have a husband named Nils and a son (adopted) named Emilio. I will draw them soon.
So let me introduce you to Johnny (the creation of my dear friend JC!) and his assistant Puffy (I am so sorry that I created another one...). Johnny is a prankster however he ain't that smart so most of the times it's Puffy who is behind the ideas whoever she can't really see much since her horns cover most of her eyes. Also she has a fear of the darkness and Johnny has a fear of being forgotten.
