#slayer oc

[rabbitmotifs]

i was inspired to make a btvs oc and got Very self indulgent in the process: meet nok the vampire slayer, an orphan who grew up in a monastery, active from 1666-1669 during the height of maritime trading in siam's kingdom of ayutthaya + her watcher, reiner van dam, whom she has a distant relationship with up to her untimely death.

more backstory under the cut

well maybe less backstory and more history lesson, i had particular fun with clothes. the chong-kraben she wears is a long piece of cloth that ties from between the legs to create something like pants, but she deliberately wears it higher upon her legs, the men's style, for ease of fighting. her main hairstyle, a straight bun tied up at the back, is called a song khadong, and was typically worn by men and women during peacetime. the garlands that decorate it are reminiscent of center-buns worn by thai children of this era. her weapons of choice are staked spears for ranged fighting, and a daab, a single edged sword fit for beheadings. the amulet she wears around her neck has the same function as a western cross, as it contains the consecrated image of the Buddha.

nok is given her name by the monks who found her, and while she enjoys a familial relationship to all of them, she has a particular fondness for monk Ajahn Pae, whom she often simply calls luang por ("revered father"). none of them had any connection to the watcher's council, but they were aware of nok's preternatural abilities as a potential slayer.

when nok is called, it takes her watcher six months to travel to her from europe via trade ship, as there is no branch of watchers in Asia during this time. though they are able to bridge some communication gaps nok and reiner are never close, and the distant relationship becomes more icy when luang por is killed via an apocalyptic event, the only apocalypse she circumvents as a slayer. nok resents reiner for being complicit in her slayerhood and destiny, and she later dies on her 18th birthday during cruciamentum.

Ruthmary Woodford was a young woman living in a Puritan town in the 1600s. She was an odd young lady, seemingly fragile enough she could blow over in the wind, and didn’t enjoy talking all that much.

So when she got called as a Slayer, it was right around the time Salem started the witch hunt. Believing her to be a witch, they tried to burn Ruthmary at the stake. She managed to fight her way out, killing some people in the process, changed from the devastation of her own family sending her to the chopping block.

She ran for her life, pursued by a mob, and that’s when she met Elias Manton, a fledgling vampire from England, and that’s all he remembered about himself. The pair would later find out he was a Watcher before coming to the states, sent to help her.

Ruthmary, wishing to shed her former life and identity much like a vampire, chose the name Ruby. Ruby and Elias spent her remaining years together as nomads, traveling across the states, fighting injustice from humans and demons alike.

No one knows exactly how Ruby died. Some say it was illness, others blood loss. What is known is she died peacefully with Elias by her side.

This would not be the end for Ruby, however. She would be resurrected in LA centuries later by a necromancer attempting to use her against Angel Investigations. She resisted the magic, using all that pent up rage when alive and dead to fight back against it. Angel Investigations helped her find Elias, now a history professor in England. After a checkup from both Fred and Elias’ vampiric “sister” and renowned doctor, Lexi, Ruby had been determined as healthy and back for good.

Now, Ruby lives a new married life with Elias, on call for Slayer HQ as she adjusts to living in the 21st century.

Personality wise she’s quiet, takes things literally, and is quite intense. She’s got some anger issues from that burning at the stake thing. Ruby is someone you’d want as your friend rather than your enemy.

HOLY SHIT IM DONE

SO

To start yes I know there is about a billion mistakes in this and it is pretty basic (if i added color this would take me twice as long), as any person can probably tell i have never made a comic before this, especially one this damn long.

Second, this is demon slayer comic with a canon divergence, though it will mainly follow my OC and my Friends OC's in the demon slayer world who I will make separate little panels explaining character and such.

this took me about a year and a half if I'm honest but I'm proud to have finished it and it was not a single person effort, a lot of motivation came from my friend @twistedtrashposts who helped me come up with a lot of this (and is our chaotic demon friend bri) and I would not have started this if it weren't for them and our 3 hour yap sessions at 2 in the morning.

slayer oc

inspired by @yarboyandy2

Born in Yugoslavia in 1951, Svetlana was identified as a potential in infancy, giving the Council high hopes for her. Her family, however, staunchly refused to hand over their firstborn daughter to be raised by some Englishman.

Still, their views were otherwise largely traditional and they taught her everything they knew about the lore of slayerhood, including that her position is a sacred calling never to be questioned.

She internalized these beliefs, despite not expecting to ever become an actual slayer due to being particularly clumsy, uncoordinated and generally physically weak. Being introverted and socially isolated from her peers, the closest thing she had to a true friend growing up was her great-aunt, with whom she spent many hours learning about Slavic folklore, and even some magic — although she never committed herself to becoming a proper witch due to her status as a potential, she exhibited great promise in the field.

She was the first girl in her family to be able to access formal education, and was deeply grateful for it — it turned out academics was where she truly excelled. Her strongest suit were foreign languages and she quickly rose to the top of her class in both English and Russian.

But shortly after she turned 15, destiny came knocking in the form of Webster, her designated watcher informing her that she was, in fact, chosen as the next vampire slayer, and that she was to join him at a demonic hotspot in Switzerland.

Due to her previous physical ineptitude, her slayer powers were just barely enough to keep her alive, and Webster privately made peace with the possibility that she wouldn't even last a year. For Svetlana, training sessions felt like torture and she had a great distaste for the violence her job required, never being able to entirely shake off the feeling that she was no more than a glorified killer.

What kept her going was the research, the study sessions, the library at her disposal the size of which she never could've imagined before. Despite her initial distrust of her watcher, they bonded over learning German together, and he also taught her Latin as well as several demon languages. Books were her reprieve from the daily horrors of slayerhood, her save haven. They often joked how being a watcher is where she would've truly thrived had she been given the possibility.

To the entire Council's surprise she did survive her first year — and beyond, largely thanks to her assortment of spells that she relied on for both protection and combat. Those, however, turned out to be a major point of dispute between her and Webster, as the magic she was taught wasn't consistent with what he knew to be Wicca tradition and he had every intent to, in his own words, rectify that — the only thing she ever stubbornly refused.

It was perhaps ironic then, that her magic was the reason she survived her cruciamentum, relying on a variety of protective spells until her foe tired out and made himself vulnerable.

A day later, still weakened from the ordeal, from the exhaustion and the drugs still remaining in her system, on her way home from a routine patrol, she was killed by a single vampire, quickly and unceremoniously.
