#team ore

[sol-lar-bink]

Made a whole bunch of characters for my Fayre Region setting! A lot of these have been planned for ages. Some are new!

I'll write a bit with each close up! So long post... beware!

Some names may change! Gelli might be swapped out for another fairy type... but we'll see.

Team Tera! A paldean Tinkatuff finds herself in the Fayre Region after hearing about the Diamond Domain next to one of the towns. She wants to investigate it, in search of Terastal crystals to see if they can be found outside of Paldea, a quest given to her by a researcher friend. She doesn't have permission to access the Domain... so she must work up in the Guild ranks to prove her worthiness!

She teams up with Gelli, a sweet, shy little Snorunt who's always been too scared to join the guild alone. She is a remake of an old Snorunt OC I never used.

Team Ore. Originally I was gonna pair up Tinkatuff with the Sableye, but after a recent Forretress post, I wanted to make one an OC, cos I love Forretress!!! They're part of the guild too, but they're not very good... they're still very low rank. A silly duo causing some mischief. Jerry is actively seen trying to sneak into the Diamond Domain to eat their diamonds and gems... Walnut on the other hand is a rather silly fella.

Skippy is a simple Skiploom, enjoying the sunny days and exploring the region to his hearts content. Good friend of Bink's!

Arrian is a Falinks who lost his platoon many years ago in a terrible battle... they all left him and got jobs elsewhere!!!! He's a bad captain, and is overly dramatic about losing his platoon. "Oh... how could they leave me so soon... in this cold, cold world... choosing to earn minimum wage instead of ADVENTURE...!" Think Meta Knight meets Zote lmao.

The two staff at a little cafe in the town! I have yet to name the town... I'm bad with names.

Delicia is the owner! Specializing in coffee, tea and biscuits. Galarian style... not Unovan biscuits!!! Sweet lady who's an expert at her craft.

And then Lorette! A shy, kind shiny Dolliv who both acts as a waitress in the cafe, as well as dealing with the savory options. She has a crush on Bink... but after learning of Himemi, she does her best to put her feelings aside to try and help wherever she can. Another good friend of Binks.

??????

This strange figure appeared shortly after Ultra Wormholes started opening up around the region. She does not speak, her actions seem... not her own. While she's caused some havoc and fear through the region, she's more scared of you!

v6: Ruby kills manticore grimm fighting Oscar on the train

v7: Ruby kills saber grimm attacking Oscar from behind

v8: Oscar kills ravager grimm attacking Emerald from behind

She looks at him like she wasn't expecting anyone to just run in and protect her without a second thought, like "you could've let me die right there," meanwhile Oscar doesn't even acknowledge it as a big deal; that's just what teammates do. <3

Oscar & Emerald team partners when?

One thing this finale gave us was the reminder that Oscar secretly has long leg

I don’t know if they’ll be getting new Wonderland outfits, but if they do, imagine they each incorporate just a little bit of green accent as a way to hold onto the friends they’re separated from 🥺

One thing I like about the fan-named team ORE (that we all just seemed to come up with individually), is that out of the three of them, in the group that they’re in and the dynamics they have? Yeah... I actually would put Oscar as the leader of that team. Which is weird, cause I feel like most combos of the characters wouldn’t have me think Oscar would be the leader in canon? If Jaune, Ruby, or maybe even Nora were there, one of them would take the leadership role, but with Ren and Emerald? Based on JOYR’s conversation in the tunnels in ch10, Ren would be excellent support for Oscar, more so than a leader, if that makes sense, especially given he’s expressed that he doesn’t feel qualified to make these kinds of decisions (which, fair). 

That could be a really interesting position to see Oscar in, especially after all his development these past 2 Volumes. I don’t think I’d have been able to see him potentially being a team leader until now. But given how he’s been acting with the group as a whole, both in chapter 1 and again in chapters 10-13 (look he’s been missing a while), I feel like he could actually be a solid leader of a small team. He’s been great at deescalating situations, helping people get along, strategizing, making tough calls in the moment, etc. Could be cool to see that new role for him.
