While I wait for Mark’s premiere, here’s some origin facts for my first two beans
Atom was originally a skelesona idea since I was big in the Undertale fandom and everyone seemed to have skelesonas. His design changed as I started experimenting, and then I decided I’d turn him into a character that represented a part of me. He was my academic side, but also my clumsiness. He still embodies both of those things, but isn’t necessarily a part of me anymore as all my original OCs were
Shade was originally how I imagined myself as an Undertale monster, combining my favourite skelebros with my favourite animal into a skeleton bat, but I liked the idea and made her into my 2nd OC. Like Atom, she originally represented part of me, specifically my creativity and shyness
56: What's one of your character's quirks?Let’s go with an underrated bean, Octavier. I don’t know if this counts as a quirk, but they go out of their way to make sure people know they’re accepted, especially those in the LGBTQ+ communityThey still feels very guilty for who they were in their mortal life; part of an anti-LGBTQ+ gang to hide the fact they were a closeted gay and genderfluid individual
59: What is your least favourite thing about your character?Let’s go with Atom for this one because he’s the easiest for this question. I hate the fact he will go out of his way to bully Mortem and it pains me to keep him that way, but not all of my beans can be wholesome like I want. Mortem was a bad guy when he was first made and now he’s the sweetest bean. Zeal hated Api, but now he’s conflicted. Atom hating Mortem is important, but so painful to me and him
Finally getting back to doing these references, so now we have the very first bean of the crew, Atom. Someone tell him to move his arm please. He's blocking the text
Here's a shortened backstory
Andrew was a well loved young adult in a small town where everyone knew each other. He loved sports as well as science and balanced the two perfectly. He even helped out at his old college after leaving because it gave him an excuse to keep experimenting, but he was also extremely clumsy, and one day whilst gathering chemical for a class he was helping in, he knocked over a few chemicals. The reaction caused a small explosion, small enough to be contained but bad enough to severely injure Andrew. From that point on, he was banned from chemistry for his own safety and instead pursued biology, where he'd hike up the local mountain to a small clearing and observe nature. He unfortunately decided to walk further one fateful day, lost his balance and fell onto a spiked fence below. Trapped in limbo, Andrew retained his physical image and as his body decayed, so did he until he was a skeleton
He changed his name to Atom, his old nickname, and gradually build his lab just outside of the town so he could conduct his own research, which currently is exploring inter-universal travel
I thought this was a good way to introduce my children to anyone who’s new or hasn’t really seen me post about them since I don’t often, but I want to dedicate more time to them in the new year
I also have an archive blog for OC stuff @sciensanity
Atom: Skeleton ghost. Died at the age of 19. Science nerd
Shade: Skeleton bat. Created in a lab accident. Shy, creative bean
Mortem: Being of depression. Created in 1349 and spent 666 years trapped in the void. Not liked by many others
Summer: Humanoid cat from an alternate universe. Trapped in this universe. Pure, wholesome and positive
Time: Human from an alternate universe. Exposed to time and space itself and slowly dying. Literally can’t smile and voice is monotone but still tries to be cheerful
Snap: Humanoid crocodile from an alternate universe. Borderline sociopath with a joy for killing. Will protect Mortem with his life although it probably won’t be his life that’s being given up here...
Zeal: Sentient computer virus. Mischievous bean. Universe he came from was erased
Api: Sentient Antivirus Protection Interface. Software that Zeal corrupted and accidentally brought to life. Wants to be friends with everyone
Icul: My dark side. Partly who I wish I was and partly the opposite of who I am. Speaks in reverse, but has tried to learn how to talk properly (Erac I taht ton)
Absence: Smoke demon. Blind in his right eye and mouth is sewn shut. Deal making demon who suffers from guilt and tries to find loopholes so people don’t sell their souls
I can’t tell if 2E the beach one is male clothes or female clothes but I mean Atom is a skeleton so if you would be able to then that’s my suggestion! 💚
Who cares if it’s male or female!? My boy is looking fabulous
Thanks for this Abz! It was so fun drawing Atom again and giving him a different outfit
if i lose a finger i might get to take a couple of days off. so either way sad snoot booping sounds like a win-win situation to me. i'm gonna boop mortem's snoot, i'm gonna boop your snoot, i'm gonna boop (click?) api's snoot, i'm gonna boop all the snoots. (if you don't mind me asking: how do all your ocs react to snoot booping?)
You boop Atoms nose? The gap in his skull where a nose would have been. He stares at you, slightly in shock, the slowly raises his hand to his skull and holds it over his nose hole because who even boops a ghost?
You boop Shade nose hole. She giggles uncontrollable and blushes furiously, because yes skeletons can blush, and wants to boop your nose too, but she struggles because 1) she’s small and 2) her wings aren’t the best for booping, but you bend down and let her boop you with her wing tip anyway
You boop Mortem. He blushes a lot and hides his face behind his hands, unsure of how to feel about this act of kindness
You boop Summer. She giggles and boops you back with her soft toe beans. You can see how her eyes have lit up and her smile has spread across her face
You boop Time. He immediately boops you back and although he looks unhappy, you can see happiness in his eye as the swirling galaxy of his iris sparkles
You head over to the computer where Zeal and Api are hovering and watching. You click both of their noses. Api flaps his hands and somersaults whilst Zeal goes cross-eyed to stare at his nose as he blinks. He’s not really sure what just happened, but now you’ve gone and done it because Api chases Zeal trying to boop him
You want to boop Snap, but he’s locked up in his padded cell and the others refuse to open it. Mortem, however, convinces his best friend to come to the small hatch so you can reach his snout, and very firmly tells Snap to BE NICE. You warily boop Snap. He leans down so he can look through the hatch at you and winks (or did he blink? Because he only has one eye?) before heading over to his bed and lying back down
BONUS because she is technically on OC after all: You boop Icul. She calls you a “pathetic and childish imbecile” and rolls her eyes at you, but you can see the slightest hint of a smile that suggests she appreciated the gesture, even if she hated it
DOUBLE BONUS: You boop my snoot. I smile like an idiot and look away from you, hiding the bottom half of my face inside my PMA hoodie before looking back at you, hugging you and booping you
luci, my beautiful december child, how is life treating you on this averagely average tuesday? i heard something about ocs??? could you be bothered to share some more information? maybe just some tidbits about the setting your ocs exist in? a few personality profiles? maybe an art link or two? (do you have one of those online character books?) :3cccc (also your meet the artist drawing is super cute!! you're a good noodle!!!)
Every time I see you in my asks I get so happy! You really do make my day with these messages and I hope you’re doing wonderfully today (I’m alright today actually, a lot better than last night)
I don’t have one of those online books but I’m going to make one on notebook.ai because I’ve thought about it before but honestly forgot.
So… my children. They all live in a fairly normal environment actually. They just all live in a science lab that has been added to as more people joined the group, but a few of them are from other universes, a few were created and only the first of the group was actually a normal human. So, here’s a bit of info on them I guess and I’ll try and link to any images I can find right now
Atom (image)Real name is Andrew ThomasHe kinda died whilst hiking up a small mountain near his townVery clumsy and an absolute science nerd, but during his living days he was also part of the school’s football teamHas his own science lab where he can conduct experiments without them harming himHe’s the leader of the group
Shade[Skeleton bat with brown fur on the top of her skull and her ears are still normal. She still has wing membrane too and she usually wears a purple hoodie made to fit her wings, grey pants and black shoes. She also wears pink glasses]Accidentally created in a machine explosion whilst Atom was researchingVery shy and suffers with quite bad social anxietyVery creative and love to drawAtom is everything to her and she relies on him to feel safe around others
Mortem (images)Full name is Mortem Tenebris TristisBeing of depression created in the void between universesVery tol boi (6″3)The others don’t exactly like him because of what he isHas a kind of depressive aura and most people can’t be around him for too longActually non-binary but prefers to use he/him pronouns for personal reasons I will eventually write aboutHonestly a sweetheart when people give him a chance
Summer[Humanoid grey cat with shoulder length brown hair and that covers her right eye. She always wears a knee length, white dress with a rainbow skirt on it]Literal embodiment of PMAJust wants everyone to be happy and does her best to keep the group’s spirits upFrom an alternate universe where the human race is all humanoid cats and instead of pet cats, they have pet humans (who are essentially what we would see as babies)Came through a portal Atom opened, but sadly the portal was only one waySad to never be able to go home but loves her new family
Time[In his current form, he is a regular human male but his left side is decaying, so the left side of his face is a skull, his left arm from forearm to hand is bone and there’s a hole in his chest that shows his ribcage. His remaining eye has a galaxy iris, her wears almost like a sleeveless suit jacket and pants which are also galaxy. He also wears a purple adn black hat with an hourglass on it, and that counts down to his death]Was a police officer in an alternate universe where humans live alongside another speciesWas ejected from his universe (cause unknown yet) and exposed to the fabric of time itselfPermanently damaged because of itVoice is monotone and he can’t smile because of the damage
Snap (Image) Real name is Seth Nathaniel Alexander PatricksonFrom the same universe as Time and he’s the other species (humanoid alligator species called Carcodills)He was an orphan and rebelled against the authority that looked down on his speciesEventually became a world famous killerHad been captured a few months before a portal appeared in his cell and he joined the others
Zeal (Images)Sentient computer virusMischievous, loves games and spends too much time on YouTubeAnti is his idol and literally fanboys over him (he was very excited yesterday)Also from another universe but I have yet to think of that since he was originally part of an Undertale AU I eventually gave up on
Api[Basically looks like Zeal but his hair goes in the opposite direction and his eyes are different. His right eye is yellow with a blue pupil and left eye is green with a red pupil. He has an oversized orange sweater with 1001 on it and peach coloured pants]Antivirus Protection InterfaceSoftware Atom installed to remove the virus on his computer (which was Zeal)Sentient virus + antivirus software = sentient antivirus softwareChildish, giddy and would probably have ADHD if he were an actual personLoves Zeal like a brother but Zeal doesn’t exactly like Api
I think that’s a good summary. There’s one more, but she’s a little different. Her name is Isul and she’s my dark alter egoSi ehs ohw fo etisoppo eht flah dna eb ot stnaw ehs nosrep eht flah ma I.
