Hey so I was wondering about what the character dynamics are like with your Lex oc’s and also what’s the plot for their story, (sorry if this is a lot)
Oh man that IS a lot anon, I don’t know how far I want to reveal because I’m hoping to one day be able to do something with these characters and I don’t want to give anything away.
As far as plot-wise goes, the whole story revolves around Lex Hart, a nervous 14-year-old boy with unnatural light, salmon-colored hair and his journey to becoming, what can only be described as, a superhero.
The premise, as best as I can sum it up without giving it away, is that there are these [redacted] that are pretty much 100% radioactive and are spread throughout the earth. When the general population comes into contact with these [redacted], which are later called O.M’s, they die, because coming into contact with something so potently radioactive will do that to a person. However, there is a small, and I mean 0.000001 percent small, chance that adolescents (between the ages of 12 and 19) get their hormones and DNA all wacked out from the radioactivity and they change. (They basically get superpowers, but like weirdly specific and not all DC/MARVEL blown out kinda superpowers) These Youths are called Oddities.
There is a secret scientific organization, called ODD Co. who studies these O.M’s, who are very interested in Oddities and what specifically about them that makes them able to withstand the radioactivity and basically not die. Thus, ODD Co. makes it their priority to find these Oddities spread around the world and ‘collect’ them in a sense to study and maybe even train them to better hone and use their abilities for good.
Now, ODD Co. has basically influenced most of the world's government and has convinced them to tell their people that these O.M’s are super freaking dangerous and that people should avoid them at all costs. (Which is pretty much the truth. Most everyone who comes in contact with O.M’s DO IN FACT DIE, so the pretty much all governments were like, yeah, of course, we’ll keep an eye out and make sure no one touches them.)(However, ODD Co. never disclosed that there is a small chance O.M’s turn random teens into super-powered humans, because that could get out of hand real fast and who knows what the government would do with that information)
Anyway, ODD Co. still needed a way to track down these Oddities without drawing unwanted attention as to why from most governments, so a system was built that, every child entering highschool (for all 4 years) has to take a test to ensure that they aren’t radioactive. (Basically to put fear into people that they could be sick from possible O.M exposure and needed to be tested, but really they are just checking to find possible Oddities who are hiding in plain sight because the knowledge of Oddities existing is unknown)
The story starts with Lex being tested positive for O.M poisoning his first day of high school, and being taken away by specialists. Except that Lex has never been in contact with an O.M. And he doesn’t have any superpowers. But for whatever reason, everyone at ODD Co. is treating him like possibly the most powerful, and dangerous, Oddity in existence.
And that's where we pretty much have Book One.
There are a LOT of characters in the universe, I’ve only drawn a FEW of the main ones that Lex interacts with. Most notably Lucus, his older brother. While at ODD Co, he meets a lot of characters (characters like Adrian Bishop, Danny De Eroe and J Lee Hung) He becomes really good friends with two other Oddities, Damian McKenzie (who just goes by McKenzie) and Riley Semenov. In book 2, he meets even more Oddities but becomes good friends with Skyler Valez and Ayita Walker (Ayita is an eventual romantic interest) I would consider McKenzie, Riley, Skyler, and Ayita to be Lex’s BFFs, along with his brother Lucus, and most of the books involve their interactions with Lex.
I’ve changed the book a lot over the years, so a lot of the old art and head cannons I had for my OC's have changed (so don’t go looking them up on here cause most of it is wrong now) But I hope that was informative enough! I love these dumb children so much, they’re my babies and some of my oldest OC’s <3
