OC-Tober #7: As A Child

Featuring See (or "Subject C", as was his name as a child.)

I love putting them through the horrors. Looking back, he doesn't look convincingly enough like a child in this art. Think I really got better at that later.

we cant remember any of your other ocs if you posted them but we would love to hear more about the bee nosk (see? that's her name right) what is her daily life pretending to bee a bee like

I've decided that See does not live in Bugaria or Hallownest; she instead has ended up in a sort of walled city in the middle of the Dead Lands. There, she has a job as a bounty hunter/regular hunter, killing any dangerous beasts that get close to the city.

Nosks in this universe have a sort of low-level mind reading where they can see people in memories and how the person having the memories feels about them, but not anything else. See's disguise is not based on any bug in particular; she just saw a kind of bug she wasn't opposed to being, figured out what they generally looked like, and made things up from there. (The markings on her head are not actually something honeybees in this world can have. She is not aware of this. Anyone familiar with How Bees Work is immediately suspicious.)

From her neighbors' perspective, this Almost Bee just showed up one day carrying the corpse of one of the smaller beasts, traded it for housing, and lives here now. The general consensus is "I don't trust her in the slightest, but she's good at hunting, so she can stay."

As for how See's doing? She has no clue how to Society and is just trying her best to imitate people. Trading for a house was a complete accident. She doesn't know which laws are important because apparently killing and eating people is a no? So she just acquired a list and follows all of them equally. People find it helpful when she kills the things outside, and she can get paid doing so, so that's good at least. No one has ever seen her eat anything, since she has to shift out of her disguise to do that and also nosks are made to eat large infrequent meals like snakes do. So she just keeps paying rent, hunting beasts, attempting conversations, and admiring all the cool stuff bugs make. It's stressful, but interesting, and it's too late to disappear again now!

It's like if a big people-eating snake disguised itself as a human and got a human job and paid taxes and stuff.

We were doing a thing with chalk pens on the table in chemistry class, so I drew these. Sorry for the sideways picture.

There's See, who can't, and some guy who stole a paperclip and probably lives in a mansion full of skeletons.
