Can i ask about your mtg OCS? How many do you have?
I have made many over the years, but here are three of my most active. Maybe unsurprisingly, they're from New Phyrexia. I have some info pages about them, but at this point they feel outdated, so I'll try to write short and sweet summaries with up-to-date information on them as best I can. Unfortunately most of them don't have art or designs that I'm happy with yet.
For two of them I'm including illustrations from last year's Artfight, whose artist credits are included below.
Xena Gitaxias-Vadri (UB) (first art piece, by @memento--moray) is a compleated Neurok human Planeswalker residing on the plane of New Phyrexia. During the Mirran-Phyrexian war, she had been a traitor Mirran--a glistener--willingly seeking compleation on Phyrexia's side, for which she allied herself with Jin-Gitaxias's cause. Her unusually willful spark repeatedly pushed back her phyresis until the Reality Chip was created, a method by which Xena could be compleated while preserving the spark's own existence. As a result of this strange, drawn-out process, she became an oil vampire while suspended in the in-between state of human and Phyrexian, preying on other Phyrexians to survive. Now, she's thrown in her lot with the Phyrexian rebellion as they slowly rebuild the world, forced to reckon with her past actions and amend as much as she can for the future.
Imnyrix (RGBU) is a core-born Furnace Phyrexian rebel who during the Mirran-Phyrexian war led a small united cell of Mirrans and Phyrexians who sought coexistence and the end of Norn's tyranny. Formerly an ingot slave, he reforged himself into a warrior-poet symbolizing the struggle for a free Phyrexia, covered in multicolored plates from every other Phyrexian lineage. He is known for his swordsmanship and oratory skill with the Phyrexian language. Though an ally of Urabrask, he dislikes the praetor and distrusted his plans of weaponizing Halo against the Orthodoxy. Now that active war is over, Imnyrix has somewhat fallen out of favor as a leader amongst other Phyrexians due to his unaddressed self-loathing over being a Phyrexian, and has to reassess his view of himself and his people now that the plane has been sealed off. Imnyrix's design has been difficult for me especially because of his array of multicolored plates, and in particular I can never for the life of me figure out a face design. He would be on Artfight if I could just come up with one.
Ak'sholix (WB) (second art piece, by @sorinmarkov) is a core-born Orthodoxy Phyrexian ichormage who had been selected for the highest of honors within their station: becoming a node of control for Elesh Norn's invasion of the Multiverse. Though a prodigy in divining and controlling Phyrexian oil, Ak'sholix had always resented that they were held back from further ascension by not being a cleric of Norn. To grow their power they secretly made a pact with Kraynox, the Deep Thane of ichor divination, with terms that have since been scoured from their memory. After the failed Invasion, they emerged miraculously alive; they know they were deliberately spared, and their patron has a use for them yet. Ak'sholix is nominally a Phyrexian rebel, but not because they actually oppose the dogma that raised them quite yet.
I have many other MtG OCs with varying levels of development. They include a World Tree guardian Gladewalker changeling (Borealis, my beloved), a scrappy human ex-Monoist eldrazi wrangler, and an eldrazi-touched Illvoi alabile smith. There are also, needless to say, many additional Phyrexians. I've been working on making some OC reference sheets for Artfight in other fandoms, but this reminds me that I'd really like to develop my MtG OCs some more, especially the newer EOE concepts.
Thanks for asking!!
