Epic Crewsona

In the server with @urpaperboy & @stxph-artist rn, we just listened to all of Epic and decided to create crewsonas because,, well because it's fun. This is Phaedrus from Ithaca, he was one of those 600 men.

I'd like to imagine he's a simple man. He took over the household pretty early on as the eldest son, after his father passed in the line of duty. He mourned him, but I think he took solace in being able to look after and raise his siblings well. He's a competent fighter, favoring close ranged combat, though he excels more in survival skills and botanical knowledge. He's educated of course, but certainly no deeply inquiring mind.

He liked sparring with his brothers, and teaching his sister to read. He was good at cooking, could tell one hell of a joke, and rumor has it, he once ate a whole live fish on a dare and choked- That is to say, he was down for anything.

As for his philosopher, that was a classic case of opposites attract. I thinker, and a hands-on man. Some lovers say they see each other in the morning sunrise, in shimmering bodies of water, in fragrant flowers. But Phaedrus felt his lover in every challenge. Every moment that made his heart race, he remembered every debate they had. With the heat on his face, he recalled the way his love's expertly crafted phrases brought blood to his face. Cut and bruise and scar a reminder of fingertips etched over his arms. Fingernails raking his shoulders. Phaedrus, and his brilliant paramore.

Introducing East :]

Easton Aubrey LaBelle St. Clair ;

They/He/Any , Gay

5'7, 26

AKA: Bug/Broody Bug, East, E-Clair (begrudgingly).

Though still a bit cold around the edges, East is doing their best to dismantle their prejudice, relearn their passions, and put their history behind them ^^ One odd encounter and/or highly dangerous situation at a time.

Likes: Sketching nature, warm foods, the sound of singing, the smell of books, feeling/looking tidy, "quiet contemplation" (brooding), the company of others.

Dislikes: Quiet rooms, old portraits, getting blood on his clothes, people not knowing what they're doing, being pushed into boxes.

Extras:

Easton gets his middle names from his mother :]

They are often mistaken for much older than they really are. Likely between the scars and the white locs. It used to be a sore spot for them, but they've grown accustomed to it.

East isn't great with any sort of close quarters combat, buuuuuut give them some distance and they're an excellent shot with just about anything ranged. At least with glasses on anyways.

They would have loved to become some sort of curator. I think they still do, but they've otherwise shelved the dream for fear of it being too late for them.

East is sliiiiiightly freaked out by Maria. Really birds in general.

He's 👁️👁️

Background

Easton wasn't always a hunter. Truth be told, in his youth, such an occupation would have brought him great distress, his sensitive and gentle disposition being no secret, and yet, a great point of contention between his parents. For the first few years of his life, his mother, Aubrey, sought to nurture and tend his loving nature to the fullest, supporting his curiosities about the creatures his family "traded", and encouraging his heart's true passion, drawing.

However, as East grew into their roles within the family, the loose reigns of his upbringing tightened. Though Easton's talent for drawing was growing, alongside his affinity for collections and ravenous curiosity, it was clear tension was brewing between the young St. Clair and his father. Further still, their initial in these the so called "beasts" at his home was quickly growing into fondness, and in turn, East's otherwise indifference about their situation was unfolding into regret and despair for them, something their father couldn't abide by. Thus, they needed to be... Reconditioned in their thinking.

In an attempt to make East understand the dangerous nature of the creatures he cared so deeply for, an incident occurred. To this day, East still can't quite remember it clearly. Only his mother's screams, a sickening gurgle, and the next few years of his life moving by on double time. But their father had succeeded at least. It didn't take much thereafter to contort East's anguish into monster hatred.

Which is what led Easton to take up hunting. A respectable occupation for someone like him, or so he was told anyway. Though after some time, there was still a piece of his heart, perhaps the piece his mother had given him, that wasn't truly in it. He certainly wasn't built for the job, seeming to collect endless scars from his close call encounters. Though there was still loathing and anger present for the loss of his mother, there was also still such.. curiosity. A charm to these creatures that no amount of lust for retribution could shake. Above all else, he eventually grew sick of the cycle. All they needed was a reason, a motive... perhaps a brief flash of kindness from a certain gator... Oh, but who could say how a story like that would play out.

:] Hey hey, omg, I did the freaking thing! Normally I'd have finished the bigger piece, buuuuut I wanted to post them already ^^ It's been a minute since I last did an OC post, so this was fun! It's just a general oc intro post, so any additional info will come in replies to bug posts, or question in my ask box should anyone feel so inclined ^^!

Thank you for welcoming me and East into the Bug Army 🫰🏽🙂‍↕️🫰🏽 We are humbled and honored!

Ouuuu, sneeakiiiinnnn

Ya uhhh ya! You know this started as just a jacked up lol character doodle, but I wanted him?? In a place so yeah, he's snooping around. And obviously looking low-key stressed about it, since that's basically his perpetual state of being, lol.

They got that disgruntled autism.

[itsargyle]

I was talking about this in my server with my mooties @urpaperboy and @stxph-artist , but if Ash and Portia had broken up for long distance reasons, there is a real non-zero chance Portia would have hooked up with Lexi.

Do y'all associate any songs with your listeners and the YV characters? If you had to choose one, what would it be?

Ik for me, Ciel (Boo) and the Alphonse's song is for sure Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood. At least from Ciel's perspective.

I think that Ciel kind of interprets their love through the lens of things that they personally find comforting, things like rain and quiet. And I think Sweater Weather, being both passionate, yet almost kind of melancholic in sound perfectly encapsulates that kind of energy. Eir love for Alphonse is intense and unyielding, much like a storm. But also soothing and replenishing, if that makes sense?

Also the song is just vibey as fuck 😩 And I like the part about high waisted shorts because that's very much a Ciel thing (istg I'll drop their character thingy when I have time). It's like hehe shorts, hehe sweater, that's what they both wear tee hee ha ha. Idk, it amuses me UvU.

Faust and the hopeless romantic idiot he calls his boyfriend (Atlas info dump)

So I did this doodle in the Whiteboard and the idea behind the full thing is like, Faust would be on a picnic blanket somewhere and while he and Atlas/Star are waiting for the clouds to clear up, Atlas asks Faust about some star/celestial facts to pass the time, because he knows how much Faust loves that sort of thing. This is definitely before they'd get together.

I think a lot of why Atlas is would be so into going out and about with Faust (canonically the convention; HC stargazing or museum dates) that involve seeing and observing things (aside from the fact that he loves seeing how Faust reacts) has a lot to do with his condition. Specifically, his ongoing battle with Glaucoma, which is causing gradual vision loss.

That said, I do think he has a sort of content resignation to his vision loss, and has already begun adapting. Thus, I think he's really keen to using his ears, and that's kinda where Faust talking being what makes Atlas fall for him falls into place.

I think through Faust, he truly begins to understand the beauty in that which he can't see. I think Faust talking or ranting or anything like that makes Atlas so damn happy, especially when it's something Faust cares about. And being trusted with that which Faust enjoys/loves makes him feel so cherished :]

So yeah, this didn't really have any major organization. I probably could have written something more concise if I wasn't so tired, but I really like Faust alot uvu Atlas too aaaand it's late so no cool guy smartie pants posting + also I forgot what else I was gonna say-

Rookie for your troubles ( ՞ 〰︎ ՞ )

Elodie Octavia Thibodeaux, (She/They), Unlabled!

5'10, Virgo, 23-25

AKA: Rook, Ms. Thibodeaux, Ello/Ellie

Voice Claim: (*˘︶˘*)

Sultry, secretive, and overall rather sweet, Elodie left her life and family behind in search of a fresh, totally independent start. It just so happens that her newfound freedom comes with both a cushy desk job, and the lingering gaze of a certain sexy CEO...

That all said, despite the luxuries and privileges her new life affords her, Elodie is steadfast in her dedication to kindness and patience, where warranted. And her thirst for excitement and experiences allow her to move through life with a sort of vigor just as unwavering.

Likes: Warm colors/drinks, cherry coke, clear weather, modern aesthetics, 'trash' television/books (reality TV, those sexy CEO books, etc), chivalry, getting dressed up, a job well done.

Dislikes: Workplace/Weaponized incompetence, baggy clothing, being out late, rambunctious social functions, being babied or pitied.

Extras:

Elodie is Haitian and French ! Having grown up between France and England, however, her Haitian Creole is rather poor. She does like to spend her free time learning though!

Though Elodie is rather skilled at her job, it wasn't her original passion. Her true calling was and truly is singing, and if she'd had the chance, she would have become a stage performer.

Though Elodie's most iconic look is her French Curl Braids, she's known to switch hairstyles semi-frequently. She's rather particular about her hair as well, very few have actually touched it and lived to tell the tale (/j).

Though she's sporting red here, Ellie's favourite color is dark brown!

Elodie is estranged from her family back in England, but she prefers not to talk about why. It is, in fact, the quickest was to spoil her mood.
